info about Pendergast and his Cardinal scheme

AZ played more of a 5 DL 2 LB base and called it a 3-4 hybrid. They were very inconsistent but to their credit they played well in the playoffs while their offense was putting pts on the board.

This part is true, but also another thing is that I felt that Arizona had more talent than KC does on the defensive side.

I'd be a bit concerned here because Arizona has quite a bit of talent to work with, they atleast have a "core" that their team is built around.

You guys are WAY overestimating Arizona's "talent" on the defensive side of the ball. Their "core" consists of a 2nd-tier safety, a streaky DT, a 2nd-round LB, and a CB that they can't find a spot for because he's not good enough to play CB fulltime.

They might've been, but you're definitely UNDERRATING them quite a bit. AWilson is one of the best safeties in the league. Ditto Dansby at LB and Dockett at DT. Their rotation at end is also solid, and there's a lot of talent in guys like Rolle, DRC, etc. You're definitely trying to minimize what they've actually got.

I always read these posts about AZ D talent, and shake my head. Do they have more than us. Yeah, but not by much, and they surely aren't loaded with talent. They have some guys that had big names coming out of college, but they never really did jack.
