From Matthew Stroh:
"Hey Dani, hope you're having a great offseason. With Travis Hunter in this year's draft and Max Melton's brother, Bo, with the Packers trying out at corner plus the Cardinals' own Roy Green once upon a time, do you think some player at the bottom of the roster should try to learn a position on both sides to make them more desirable to keep on the low end of the 53-man roster? Like a person playing OL and DL? Or a player playing WR and CB? One last question I'm a truck driver who's been to 44 of the 50 states. Love seeing the difference. Moving from Dallas to Phoenix, what are two things you like that are different here in Arizona? And two things you miss the most from Dallas, Texas? Thank you, Dani. You're the glue that holds Cardinals Underground together and makes it great."
Thank you for the kind words about keeping the Cardinals Underground crew on track. It's not an easy job to keep Darren and Paul in line, but someone has to do it. No, I don't think a bubble player trying to make the final roster should focus on playing both offense and defense. If they're at risk of not making the team for their main position, it would be a disservice to have them learn a second position on top of that and try to keep up mentally and physically. Think of the saying, "A master of all is a master of none." Special teams is the best way for a player fighting for a spot in their position room to make the final roster.
Two things I like about Arizona: 1) the landscape. There's not a lot of outdoor activities to do in Dallas, minus a few lakes or trails surrounded by homes or buildings. I love being able to be active outdoors and I never get tired of seeing mountains from any viewpoint. 2) Proximity to other attractions. Texas is massive, so I appreciate all the different cities you can hit within a relatively close drive (Las Vegas, San Diego, Flagstaff, Sedona).
Two things I miss most from Dallas: 1) my family (dogs included). Thankfully they're all in one spot, which makes visiting them easy. 2) Tex-Mex. No offense to the Southwestern spin on the food out here, it just doesn't hit the same for me.
