Two things that Cardinals’ new GM Monti Ossenfort (aka “MO”) said at his introductory press conference that stood out were:
1 —- “It takes a smart, tough, dependable, accountable, and mature individual” to play in this league.
2 —- “I have been evaluating the roster.”
For those of us who are very familiar with the Cardinals’ roster, what players at each position do you think fits at least three of MO’s personnel descriptors?
Let’s give Monti our perspectives.
Here are my considerations —- with a caveat or two:
QB:
- Colt McCoy —- durability
- David Bough* —- small sample size
RB:
- James Conner —- durability
WR:
- Hollywood Brown —- durability
- Greg Dortch
- Antwan Wesley —- durability
TE:
- Zach Ertz —- durability
- Trey McBride
- Maxx Williams* —- durability
OL:
- Will Hernandez*
- Kelvin Beachum* —- inconsistency
- Josh Jones
DI:
- JJ Watt*
- Zach Allen*
- Rashard Lawrence —- durability
- Leki Fotu —- inconsistency
- Michael Dogbe*
- Trysten Hill —- durability
LB:
- Zaven Collins
- Isaiah Simmons —- inconsistency
- Markus Golden —- inconsistency
- Ben Niemann —- inconsiistency
- Cameron Thomas
- Myjai Sanders
- Jesse Luketa
- Zeke Turner*
- Tanner Vallejo*
CB:
- Byron Murphy* —- durability, inconsistency
- Marco Wilson —- inconsistency
- Antonio Hamilton* —- inconsistency
- Christian Matthew —- inconsistency
S:
- Budda Baker
- Jalen Thompson —- inconsistency
- Chris Banjo*
STs:
- Aaron Brewer*
- Andy Lee*
- Matt Prater*
Notable Omissions:
- QB Kyler Murray —- one could make an argument that Kyler does not fit any of the descriptors resoundingly well enough at this point.
