Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury wants quarterback Kyler Murray to understand one thing about calling plays: 'This s*** ain't easy.'
As Kingsbury explained, he let Murray call plays for the backup quarterbacks Saturday. Kingsbury made the decision so Murray could experience what it was like to call plays during a game. Kingsbury then joked he wouldn't want to play for Murray, because Murray kept talking to the quarterbacks right up until they threw the ball.will relaying his thoughts, according to Cardinals writer Darren Urban.
Kingsbury also bears some responsibility in the team's second-half struggles. The Cardinals opened the 2021 NFL season 7-0 before going 4-6 the rest of the way. Another poor showing late in the season, or in the playoffs, could push Kingsbury out of a job. The team should be tested immediately. The Cardinals open the season against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. Arizona also plays in one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, and will take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.
Those aren't must-win games, but could provide insight into whether Murray and the Cardinals will take a step forward in 2022.
