[Arizona Cardinals News]

Maybe I'm looking too far ahead...but is the Cardinals offense in line for some strategic friction? Whisenhunt plans to emphasize a tough, rugged running game, which doesn't exactly fit James' style. He also plans to include much more work for the fullback than Dennis Green ever used.

Furthermore, if the plan is to recreate the Steelers offense, the Cardinals prolific wide receivers might be put in the back seat to the running game, just as the passing game was Plan B in Pittsburgh. The Cardinals do need to patch up the offensive line and Whisenhunt and Grimm are the right coaches to do that but they also have to focus on keeping Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald and Bryant Johnson the main outlets for the offense.

I agree with the author. Arizona should be a pass-first offense, and I hope their new coach is smart enough to realize that.

I agree with Lefty.They use a pass first offense to set up draws and screens.

Too much talent in the receivers department to ignore, that's for sure.

I wouldnt compare anything to Dennis Green. It didnt work anyway.

By the way, I always wanted to know. Exactly what did cause Dennis Green's meltdown after that game with the Bears. It just seemed so out of his style.
