All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Considering they had Tim Hightower (basically a short yardage back, receiving RB) and a rookie, I'd say that over 4 yards/carry and 16TDs is pretty damn good.
To put another spin on things let's compare the 2008 Cardinals, who were coached by a different RB coach then in 2009. Of course now it's open for debate if the RB coach was the reason for the improvement or 1st Round pick Beanie Wells.

Do you realize that both Wells and Hightower averaged over 4 yards a carry and that those guys only had 319 attempts combined where as Jackson and Lynch had 357?
When you attempt to run more, chances are good you will get more yards.
Bah, humbug.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
It does pay sometimes to consider statistics outside of a vacuum, as proven by my learned researchers above.
He won't even be calling the plays. Gailey wanted someone who would be content with learning the offense from watching him for at least this season. I have no problem with this signing.
So what, a lot of people wanted Reeves. Reeves wouldn't have even been calling the plays. So it wouldn't have mattered. Plus, Reeves can still come on in an offensive advisor role. He doesn't even really have to be on payroll to assist Gailey. He can just pass along advice.
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
Would all of these rushing stats been posted bemoaning the hire of Russ Grimm???
I didn't see any of these at the time. Funny how things get spun. The improvements in their averages speaks volumes.
Again, maybe I am just a Kool-Aid drinker, but I trust Nix. In turn, I trust Gailey. I think the two of them are working together (now, there's a concept) to make this team respectable. They are nothing, if not diligent. I am just glad that they are putting a staff together.
For me, I guess as long as his name isn't Alex Van Pelt, I am happy with it.
