“It was crazy because (Gessner) told me, ‘This guy is going to be a star in coaching,’ ” Kingsbury said. “I was like, ‘Yeah, right.’ He was like the tight ends coach for the Orlando Tuskers. Good luck, buddy. “But (Gessner) was right. You get around (Sean), talk to the guy, he is phenomenal as...

I understand the sentiment. And it's true to an extent. But, for instance, what if you are staring at the possibility of getting another Fitz in the draft in the first or second round. Are you passing because of your current guys? Free agency is a possible place to mine. But this wide receiver...

The Cardinals’ backfield is about to get even more crowded. Running back Chase Edmonds practiced Monday and is expected to play Sunday against the Rams. Edmonds has been out since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 8 against the Saints, and his return will give coach Kliff Kingsbury three...

Kingsbury said Monday Cooper's release was “one of the more emotional (cuts) I had.” “He made a bunch of plays in camp, and I think he knew he was a great fit for our system,” Kingsbury added. “It was tough both ways, but we had the opportunity to bring him back and he’s done nothing but make...

When coach Kliff Kingsbury’s offense was labeled “pretty-boy football’ in the preseason, Cardinals players rushed to defend it, speaking confidently of the Air Raid scheme. Internally, there was a bit more consternation, especially when it amassed only six points in the first three quarters of...

“(Kyler) has shown why he’s the first overall pick,” Williams said. “He’s grown from week one of camp. It’s his team, and we all believe in him.” Wide receiver Christian Kirk saw that Murray had moved among the top 10 in one NFL quarterback ranking. “As a rookie, whenever you can slide into...

As a matter of fact, Jerry, I asked the question of Kingsbury Monday just because of this particular mailbag query. Kingsbury's answer, when I asked if the door was closed to Alford this season: "I wouldn’t say closed. He’s worked really hard in rehab, and he’d love to come back, but we also...

Kingsbury reiterated that while he doesn’t call defenses during games, he has daily discussions with Joseph and the defensive coaches about the personnel and defensive expectations – the latter of which aren’t being met. The offense hasn’t been perfect, but it has scored enough of late that...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said he was trying to win the game with an all-out blitz call late in Sunday’s game, but it was the 49ers who used it as a springboard for the victory. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was able to get a pass off before the pressure got to him...

The Cardinals finished with 25 carries for 135 yards and Murray’s score, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. They are on pace to set a franchise record in yards per carry this season and have done it with Drake, Johnson and Chase Edmonds in the backfield at different times. “When we get an...

Murray was good most of the game, avoiding an interception again and throwing a pair of touchdown passes, all while rushing for 67 yards on eight carries – the same amount of rushing yards running back Kenyan Drake had on 16 carries, as the Cards did well rushing the ball. (Running back David...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Kliff Kingsbury rued missed opportunities during his coaching days at Texas Tech, aggravated in hindsight when the right call against the right opponent remained unused on his play sheet. In college, he had to wait a year for redemption, but divisional games in the NFL...

When Kliff Kingsbury arrived in Arizona, the Cardinals weren’t expected to lean on the tight end position much. But Kingsbury’s offense evolved. It made the offseason signing of Maxx Williams more important – and it made a two-year extension for the veteran, which he signed Saturday, an...

David Johnson said he has returned to the “prove-it phase” after struggling in his return to the field last week in Tampa. The running back reiterated Friday injury issues aren’t to blame after he gained just 2 yards on five carries and fumbled away his lone reception before being benched in...

Baker is settling into Joseph’s 3-4 defensive scheme and is hoping to get comfortable. Much has been made about inside linebacker Haason Reddick’s chaotic transition through three defensive systems in his three NFL seasons, but Baker has been in the same boat. Coach Bruce Arians and defensive...
