Bro whoever’s idea it was to get these players o some media time is a genius. Dont let the national narrative give these players a character let them show who they are. Let the fans get to know them. So cool

[@kleinkalibar7486]

"When you dont have to be superman all the time". Perfectly describes what it must have felt to play under Kliff. So excited to see Kyler in a better place and excited for the season.

[@cosmolean]

Barring injury, they should have a top 5 offense and win at least 10 games.

[@Aaron71778]

That’s minimum expectations. Also the defense at least top 8/10 In the league

[@K1forMVP]

They definitely have an elite top 5-7 offense that is going to be extremely hard to stop with the elite top 3-4 run game they’ll have . Defensively I think they’ll be significantly improved with a strong DL and secondary. I think AZ wins 10-12 games this season

[@tyedunn4944]

@@K1forMVP12-5 minimum

[@JohnLoKie]

Optimistic but possible…9 is more likely due to fact it will be tough to go better than 2-4 in div. Our schedule is tough. Starting well is our best shot. We need to split vs BUF and DET at worst. Prob have to go 2-2 vs nfc north to get to 10 wins and beat NYJ or MIA. Thats asking alot. 9 seems more plausible

[@michaelkowalski3735]

Let’s get it!

[@K1forMVP]

This offense is about to take off, Murray finally has the necessary pieces around him at WR/TE behind a STOUT OL to thrive, with an elite top 3-5 run game to lean on giving them a FILTHY PA/RPO Game I’m telling u now this will be one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL Putting up points in bunch’s. They’re going to punish defenses this year, and if teams sellout to try to stop the run stacking the box that means one on one coverages for Murray to pick apart w/weapons like MHJ, McBride, Wilson, Zay Jones, Reiman/Higgins, Palmer, Chris Moore, Greg Dortch I mean they are LOADED with a ton of size all their WRs being 6”2+ for the most part, Weaver/Moore are 6”1. They’ll be much better in the red zone this year with the size they have, and all three of your RBs have hands in the pass game. This offense is primed to take off they’re gonna be special.

[@ryanharned9615]

I agree with you this will be an unstoppable offense. You can't stop everyone if you load the box to stop the run we hit you over the top or they play back and we gash them for a 30-yard run. And if they happen to win their one-on-one battles on defense then you have Kyler who can take it to the house for a 50-yard run. It's going to be a great year

[@K1forMVP]

@@ryanharned9615 Exactly they’re going to have an elite top 3-5 rushing offense naturally sucking up all the DBs n LBs up closer to the LOS giving AZ one of the scariest RPO and PA Offenses in the NFL picking up chunk yardage gashing teams through the air. Or teams stack the box leaving Harrison Jr, Michael Wilson, Zay Jones, 6”1/205 WR Chris Moore is an elite deep threat led the NFL #1 17.5YD/AVG last season,big rookie 6”2/210lb WR Tej Palmer (who I think will excel as a rookie w/elite speed/athleticism running a 4.41 40 with a 40.5 vertical n gets easy separation) At Tight-End AZ has an elite top 3-5 TE w/4.49-4.51spd in 6”5 TE Trey McBride who’s another #1WR Himself easily should surpass 80+rec/1150+YDs 5-8TDs he’ll be a BEAST in the red zone along with MHJ. AZ drafted massive 6”5-270LB TE Tip Reiman who’s an ELITE Run blocking n pass blocking TE basically a 6th OL. Reiman is also thee most athletic TE in the 2024 draft w/4.61 40 @271LBs 35in vertical 6.95 3 cone. Illinois had a run 1st offense & didn’t throw to TEs much at all but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a receiver he had a 121.7 QB Passer Rating when targeted and is a crisp route runner w/ massive/strong 11in hands and once he gets going 6”5/271 he is A YAC GOD. And AZ has second year 6”4/245lb TE Elijah Higgins with elite athleticism for a big man with a 4.54/4.59 40 w/ a 6.76 3 cone and 35.5 inch vertical Higgins was drafted last year and converted to from WR to TE. Higgins is a carbon copy of TE Jordan Reed b4 all his injuries and showed a ton of potential as a rookie easily could develop into 55-65/750YD+ #2TE who excels in the pass game and is a pass only TE and will be big in the red zone thanks to his 6”4 frame n 35in vertical if he gets the targets he should have 5-6TDs ln the red zone fairly easily unless McBride/Reiman at TE with 6”4 WR MHJ n 6”2 WR Michael Wilson spread outwide all seeing the majority of red zone snaps at l WR.

FIRE INTERVIEW, Finally seeing the true Kyler without having to keep silcence against Kliff and Keim.

[@Rockindaxmike]

Everyone is feeling it. The fans knew, last season we were in almost every game and now that we have a healthy kyler, more weapons and better more experienced defenders, its gonna be a different season. Last season went as planned, we knew it was gonna be a bad season but i'm happy how everyone played hard and knew it was gonna get better this year

[@came7494]

Love this interview. Kliff K was an absolute joke of a coach and set back Kyler 3 years in his pathetic predictable 2 yard pass offense. Fortunately Kyler is young enough to get back on track and I can’t wait.

LETS GO K1!!! IM SO PUMPED!!!

[@JohnLoKie]

Will keep posting this until someone can rebutt… With how little talent we had on def, almost all those players are upgrades. BJ and Stills had decent yrs and will likely get better. Robinson will be better than Collins at the very least. The combo of Melton and Bunting could be avg at best but thats another upgrade. Keitrel Clark, Starling and Hamilton were usually liabilities as well and they will prob just resort to backup roles now. If you can admit MHJ will be a tough cover for league, it is great practice especially for Melton. If one of our secondary picks hit like Sidney Jones for example, thats gonna be tremendously helpful. Even if you think players we added are below avg you have to admit almost all are upgrades. We were 1st in pass yds allowed and completion % on def in the gms Kyler played. This is despite the Rams, Eagles and 49ers gms. Honestly our bigger issue was run def at the end. Kyzir white may be below avg but he led the team in tackles so him playing is an upgrade over whoever else was MLB at that time. Ojulari and Stills had decent seasons, especially Stills for his draft position. Robinson may not be good as you say but I expect Gardeck to have more opportunities. Justin Jones is avg at best but Gardeck was decent last yr despite all this. So that will be helpful. Offensively we have so many f’en weapons added that only 1 or 2 have to play well to make a difference. Not to mention the fact that Dorch is practicing as our slot wr and we both agreed on how good he could be. Conservative Guesses: If MHJ top 15 WR Tre Benson, look at his tape he is insane. Especially as a pass catcher. He will make an impact positively whether you think it is alot or a little. Connor getting some rest can only be good also. Zay Jones could be below avg but once again as a 4th Wr he is an upgrade. Tip Reiman seems like a good blocker and could be sneaky player to catch a few passes this year. Again Jonah Williams is decent at best but an upgrade from Humphries who was horrible lol. Last thing. Mack Wilson got extremely high grade from PFF when he played. I think he may be be better than we think. My main point is that we were horrible on def last yr and we were very good on off with Kyler. Def improves from horrible to below avg is not a stretch. Off being top 12 in pts is conservative as hell. How that is not an 8 win team if QB stays healthy based on the literal evidence is unfathomable. You can’t say our top 5 rush off with Dobbs who fumbled more than any other person last yr is going to somehow collapse. That will keep us in alot of gms even if MHJ the def or Kyler struggles. Also we beat teams we weren’t supposed to beat last yr. Specifically Dal and Pitt. Which I don’t how you can say are not massive underdog wins. I don’t care if PITT QB got hurt either. They had a dominant rushing attack and Trubisky has a winning record as a QB. Their def was the best the last 5 weeks before we played them. Had not allowed more than 19 pts in that span. How we managed to score 24 pts was impressive. Additonally, even tho we lost to CHI, they became the best def at the end of the yr. Other than Dorch at the end, we had a chance at the end despite the fact that our other WRs did absolutely nothing. Coulda shoulda beat SEA. But thats like saying SEA wasnt a 95% fav to win the superbowl when wilson threw that pick is insane. Same stats for prater missing both kicks. I am sure 95% of the time is something you would be confident in, in general. So to act like we played like crap or didn’t get extremely unlucky to lose that gm is ridiculous. But we got MHJ so I really don’t care if you think that loss and the one in SEA proves we won’t beat divisional opponents next yrs. You need be specific about what you expect rating wise from the off and def in terms of pts. I hope you spend some time looking at how much Kyler scored in his 8 gms and how the def improved from 32nd to like 28th at the same time. Like do you really think we will have a scenario like having 1 sack in the last 5 gms of the season? Cuz I don’t. Below avg is better than horrible. I would just keep reiterating that. PS anyone who claims we can win more than 9 is being optimistic. 10 if we get alot of luck. Anything more is almost impossible. Based on all this 6 also seems impossible. Only 7 seems very unlikely. I could compromise and say 8 is most likely and 9 would be over achieving. That is double the wins for a team that added talent and didn’t have a top 12 QB for half the yr, a top 3 rb for 4 gms, didn’t have any depth at WR whatsoever and had a shitty injured pass blocking oline.
