In a scathing review reminiscent of critiques from college tape analysts, Baldy expressed his dismay at the way MHJ was being used in the team. “It’s so bizarre how they are using him,” he remarked.
Reiterating his concerns about incorporating MHJ into the offense, Baldy pointed out that this move was taking attention away from the successful 12 and 13 personnel packages that had made the team’s offense nearly unstoppable in the previous season. He foresaw the challenges MHJ would face in adapting to the NFL and the mounting pressure on Marv and the Cardinals to deliver results.
Offering creative solutions to ease MHJ’s assimilation into the team, including a recent op-ed on optimizing MHJ’s catches in Drew Petzing’s offense, Baldy demonstrated his commitment to finding ways to help the young player succeed.
Expressing doubts about the compatibility of MHJ’s skills with the Cardinals’ current offense, Baldy stressed the need for a more innovative approach that would require Petzing to rethink his offensive strategies. He suggested that a Stefanski-style NFL offense, like the one that had posed challenges for quarterbacks and wide receivers in the past, might not be the best fit for MHJ.
Adding to the conversation, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky weighed in on MHJ’s struggles in a segment on Doug and Wolf. The ongoing debate over the utilization of MHJ in the Cardinals’ offense has sparked discussions about the team’s overall strategy and the need for adjustments to maximize the talent of their young wide receiver.
