in Jonathan Gannon’s return to Lincoln Financial Field. In order to preview this Week 17 matchup, I reached out to our enemies over at at Revenge Of The Birds The sincere Seth Cox took the time to answer my questions about this upcoming battle. Let’s take a look at the answers. [For my answers to Seth’s questions about the Eagles, check out ROTB.]
1) If you had to give out a letter grade for the job Jonathan Gannon has done as the Cardinals’ head coach, what would it be and why?
B-. He has the team prepared, he has them schemed fairly well, but the lack of talent is appalling on this team and it shows up weekly.
One thing he has done this season is get players in position to make plays, but the problem has been that the players are not making any plays.
So, I think from a preparedness and scheme standpoint, I would give him a B+, I think from a result standpoint it is a D so with knowing what they are playing with in terms of talent, I weight the former a little more and give him that B- knowing it probably is a rounded up from a 79.7 and I am giving him a pass for the first year with one of the worst roster in the NFL.
2) To what extent has Kyler Murray’s return made a difference
They don’t turn the ball over as much, they are playing similar in terms of passing game, while being better running the ball.
It is almost like they are not playing to their personnel, but instead getting Murray comfortable with the reads and offense heading into next year where they may and should have better options at the wide receiver position.
