The Facts: HC Kliff Kingsbury and the Cardinals remain reluctant to share specifics about what their offense will look like this season. Keeping things a secret makes sense for Kingsbury, though. The good news is, whatever exactly it is that the Cardinals plan to unveil on offense in 2019, Murray already knows it better than anyone on the team. “I think there’s probably some truth to that, having played in a similar system for all those years,” Kingsbury said of Murray. “Christian Kirk has a good feel for it as well, I’d say. Some of the terminology and concepts are really similar to what they’ve both done before.”
Diehards Line:Though he danced around certain questions when asked about some of the particulars of Arizona’s offense, Murray wasn’t bashful about his knowledge of the system. Asked if what Larry Fitzgerald said is true, that Murray knows it better than anyone, the No.1 overall draft pick didn’t duck. “Is it true? I’d say obviously I’m more familiar with it,” Murray said. “Coach Kingsbury obviously knows it the best. But yeah, obviously with (Fitzgerald) being a veteran and not having to come to every OTA and stuff like that and me being there every day, studying every day, yes, I do know it better. But that’s my job. ..." What do we know now? According to Republic staffer Bob McManaman, Murray's dual-threat abilities as a passer and a scrambler with jet-like speed is the perfect balance for an up-tempo, attacking offense that likely will feature plenty of misdirection plays, quick throws, deep throws and probably lots of surprises out of the shotgun formation. If there is anything slowing Murray down at the moment, it’s having to adjust when teammates struggle at keeping up with the pace during up-tempo times in practice. That’s been the toughest thing, intellectually, for some players to handle, according to Kingsbury. Fortunately, there's time for the rest of the squad to catch up with their young QB.
