The Cardinals are blaming poor footwork for Kevin Kolb's recent accuracy issues.
Accuracy has never been the knock on Kolb -- arm strength has. He admitted that he still isn't used to the footwork demanded by Arizona's offense after growing accustomed to the Eagles' rigid drop-back depth. "I'm not going to lie. It's a tough deal," Kolb said. "Especially after getting trained a certain way for four years. I wish I had the off-season and I didn't." The Cardinals may be feeling a little queasy about the long-term investment they made in Kolb this offseason.
whatever man, the guys right... no off-season hurts. especially players moving into new systems and rookies... id be patient with this guy i think he can still perform in this league
I agree, and losing Steve Breaston has been huge. With no other receiver stepping up to take the pressure off Fitz, he hasn't exactly had many options. Andre Roberts has regressed in his second season, Early Doucet is too small to be much of a threat and Heap has been constantly hurt like he was in Baltimore. The only bright spot has been the flashes shown by Rob Housler. Hopefully Kolb can turn it around because the more games they lose, the better that 2nd round pick they gave up for him looks for Philly.
Kolb I have the feeling was a 60 million dollar mistake. He was unproven. Bad footwork is the reason he overthrows wide open receivers? Please, the guy has been playing football since he was a little kid. You are either accurate or your not. Man, I miss Kurt Warner!
