offensive line this offseasonThe Arizona Cardinals offense was historically bad
in 2018 and a total revamp must start with the offensive line, according to
ESPN's Bill Barnwell. TEMPE, Ariz. (AP)A little over three months into the job,
new Arizona coach Steve Wilks is busy recasting the Cardinals in his own
image.”I think the biggest thing is we’re laying a foundation,” said Wilks, who
had the team assembled beginning last week for strength and conditioning work.
”I wanted those guys to understand my vision, expectations.”Not much attention
is paid to the Cardinals outside Arizona these days.”Right now we’re flying
below the radar and that’s great,” he said Tuesday. ”I like where we
are

right.”There is plenty going on inside the team’s Tempe offices and meeting
rooms. Wilks said he is busy trying to build relationships because ”that’s what
it’s all about.”Meanwhile, the defense is adjusting from the previous 3-4 scheme
to the 4-3 Wilks used last year as defensive coordinator of the Carolina
Panthers. The offense, under the direction of coordinator Mike McCoy, is pretty
much being invented from scratch around the abilities of running back David
Johnson, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and new quarterback Sam
Bradford.Bradford, with his injury history, will be brought along slowly.”The
biggest thing we’re going to do with Sam is to make sure that he’s ready to play
16-plus games,” Wilks said. ”I’ve seen what he can do over the years. I’m not
concerned about trying to get him out there as quick as possible to throw the
ball.”The coach said that he, along with the training and medical staff, have
developed a plan for Bradford to follow.”He knows his body more than us,” Wilks
said. ”We’re trying to make sure that we give him the things that he needs on a
day-to-day basis to make sure that he feels healthy when he goes out there and
he feels very confident about that. I feel great where he is right now. I think
he’s making great progress in what we’re doing but once again we want to make
sure that he’s here for the long haul.”In the
meantime

of the offense.”With a veteran guy like Sam, he’s going to have a lot of input
in the things we’re trying to do,” Wilks said. ”Most importantly, the guy’s
smart. He understands the game. He’s played for a while. We want his input, most
importantly, to be able to give him some accountability with this offense.”Wilks
sat courtside with Fitzgerald at Sunday night’s NBA game between the Golden
State Warriors and Phoenix Suns.It’s part of what Wilks called
”up-close-and-personal time” he’s had with the star receiver.”He’s everything
that’s advertised,” Wilks said, ”a true gentleman, a pillar not only of this
community but a pillar of this league. It’s great to have him back not only for
his performance on the field but the things that he brings off the field as
well. His leadership, his commitment to excellence, all those things are
great.”Wilks commended the NFC West-rival Rams for their offseason
moves.”They’re doing a tremendous
job

this offseason.”He said it would be ”a very competitive division.””I’m going to
keep the focus on us,” he said. ”I think when you really pull the layers back we
have a lot of great talent as well.”Wilks has talked about holding some outdoor
practices in training camp, a bit of a challenge considering the scorching
desert heat of late July and August.But he said he’s experienced that heat, and
he has associates relaying their experiences, as well.”I’m listening to the
stories people have been telling me,” he said. ”I’m saying we’ll be outside, but
we’ll see.”—
