Cardinals

Offense

He started on Sunday, with no improvement. The Cardinals are 30th in the NFL on offense so far this season. Jacksonville is last, but 3-0.

Dennis Green is going to hold everyone in the Arizona organization accountable until things stick. Considering their weapons and lack of production, we see change as a good thing. Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald need to take big steps forward next season.

Arizona will look for a few mid-level players and work on an extension for Anquan Boldin. They may have had the free agent signing of the year last offseason when they picked up Bertrand Berry, who had 14 1/2 sacks, for relatively cheap.

He’s right, and he doesn’t care about tipping his hand. Green almost sounded resigned to the fact that the Chargers or Raiders will take Fitzgerald.

Interim coach Tom Cable seems all but certain to get Oakland’s full-time job. That would leave the Chiefs as Haley’s lone remaining potential suitor.

The Republic also confirms the Cardinals have offered Haley a spot on their coaching staff, but hasn’t reported that an agreement has already been reached. Seemingly desperate to upgrade on Schottenheimer, it’s possible the Jets could make Haley an offer the Cardinals won’t be inclined to match.

Haley is likely seeing what else is out there before agreeing to return to Arizona, where he served as the team’s offensive coordinator from 2007-08. It’s possible he’s interested in the Jets’ OC job if Brian Schottenheimer moves on. The Cardinals’ current offensive coordinator is Mike Miller.

XTRA 910 Phoenix’s Mike Jurecki suspects Haley is “probably trying to buy some time” in order to see if he gets any head-coaching interview requests. It’s been reported that the Jets would have interest in Haley as an offensive coordinator to succeed Brian Schottenheimer. Ideally, the Cards would have Haley on staff in time for Senior Bowl practices, beginning January 23.

Not an overly notable move in and of itself, but it’s noteworthy considering the Cardinals have been talking to former OC Todd Haley about a return to the desert. For what it’s worth, AZCardinals.com’s Darren Urban reports there is nothing “imminent” with Haley.

Although Grimm’s contract was up, his name has been noticeably absent in head coaching searches around the league over the past few weeks. He has ties to new Jacksonville coach Mike Mularkey, though Grimm’s relationship with Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt is perhaps even stronger. The Cardinals also re-signed ST teams coach Kevin Spencer, TEs coach Freddie Kitchens, DL coach Ron Aiken, and RBs coach Tommie Robinson.
