Playing as a Coach
Right away you’ll have a major decision to make when coaching
the Cardinals. You’ll have to weigh the pros and cons for both
Kevin Kolb and John Skelton and decide who starts. Ultimately,
you may decide it’s best to draft another QB depending on the
draft class. Arizona does have some pieces surrounding the QB
with Larry Fitzgerald, Beanie Wells, and the drafting of Michael
Floyd. Keep your opponents off guard with a nice mix of run and
play action pass.
The defense appears to be on the rise in Arizona. Calais Campbell is
poised to have a big year in 2012 and Daryl Washington looks like he’ll
be your middle linebacker for the next decade. Patrick Peterson had
an excellent rookie season and should continue to improve at CB.
The NFC West is much improved from years past, and the Cardinals
are a big reason why.
