Thoughts:
- I admire A.Q. Shipley’s tenacity and mental approach to the game. But, today’s NFL centers need to have longer reach and need to run better. Shipley will be tough to beat out because he is like a dog with a bone, but I hope that Mason Cole is the answer at center, short and long term.
- It’s possible that J.J. Nelson will take his game to the next level this year under Mike McCoy. Because the Cardinals have better and more talented depth this year in the slot, Nelson should have an easier job getting free deep and on the perimeter.
