Here's Kucksbury's plan to use Rondale Moore right away all over the field as a rookie, while Isabella was treated almost like a leper his first season. Moore is smaller than Isabella and has approximately the same speed:

Arizona Cardinals WR Rondale Moore will be used 'in as many different ways' as possible, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. 'Whether it's handing the ball from the backfield, toss to him on a sweep, go outside or on a fade route, he does it all,' Kingsbury said. 'So, we're going to move him around and make sure he gets his fair share of touches.'

Hopefully Moore's injury proneness follows him into the NFL. I read an article this past week where Keim seems to basically be rolling the red carpet out for Fitzgerald to return as well. It's not like Isabella did not produce when he was on the field - he was very effective with his limited touches.

Isabella seemed to have beam me up Scotty moments, it looks like the writing is on the wall in terms of him making the Cardinals breaking camp. In the past I would think New England would be a logical team for a clean start, but with Cam starting he could be lost in the shuffle there too.

Hopefully Scam isn't the starting QB for long in New England. His obvious lack of passing ability should be apparent to any of the "geniuses " in Foxboro.

I expect him to start as long as New England is in contention and Jones to break camp in 22' as the starter. Of course if Newton lays an egg from the get go it could be around the midpoint of the season when Jones takes over.

I'd like to see Isabella go to Minnesota, even if it means displacing Chad Beebe. . . not likely to happen though.

If Andy Isabella ever wants a fair chance to play he has to get out of Arizona as fast as possible. Our guys seem happy to sit. Now I know they make great money but when I played sports I never wanted to sit. I want
to be part of helping a team to win. If I were Isabella I would take a page out of alot of black receivers books and demad to be cut or traded so he doesn't waste anymore time. They guy is an elite athlete that can
help any team get better. There is no reason to not play the kid other than them not liking the color of his white skin. The treatment of white offensive football players gets worse every year and it pisses me off!

Isabella is faster, 4.31 to Moore's 4.33, and a little taller. Weight is similar. WTF would you get a lesser version of a guy who is already on your team?

The Hive Mind fake news media has decided in recent days that Isabella won't make it out of training camp on the roster of the almost-always crappy Cardinals. A lot of it has to do with him being placed in the league's near-criminal "Covid protocols" for the second time even though he himself hasn't tested positive, as if that's Andy's fault. But I saw how the dwarf they drafted in the same round as Isabella two years later was used in the first pre-season game and yes the writing is on the wall. Kucksbury will never give Isabella a fair shot, so the sooner he's waived the better. I don't even want to see him traded as unless he's traded to Minnesota or New England or possibly a few other teams he'll be treated as if he's Jake Kumerow's younger brother.

Weenieworld has Isabella squarely in it's crosshairs. More BS from the cuckiest analyst site around. Isabella has been extremely productive when given the opportunity. The fact he has not been given many opportunities is not his fault.:

Free agent WR Josh Doctson is working out for the Cardinals.
A.J. Green and DeAndre Hopkins were both held out of Arizona's first preseason game and Hopkins has yet to return to practice. The Cardinals have their second preseason contest on Friday so it's possible that Doctson is simply a fresh body for a team missing some wideouts. However, Andy Isabella's shortcomings through two seasons could put him on the roster bubble and leave an opening for someone else to take his spot. If Doctson ultimately signs with Arizona, he could be the one to push Isabella outside the final 53 players.

Random Black scrub off the street is a threat to kick Isabella off the 53, dat upside.

I've been reading all week about how "crucial" this final preseason game is for Andy. I don't buy it, the handwriting's been on the wall all off-season and his bout with "Covid" just makes it that much easier for Kucksbury to jettison him, especially after drafting a black replacement for him in the second round this year. If Isabella is cut it may be the best thing possible for his career, as long as there's an NFL team out there somewhere willing to invest in developing his talent, not a given by any stretch.

It's a sad situation but as I said about a week or two ago that I'm hoping for Isabella to get cut. If I was the kid and I would tell the coach to let me go. Have some pride. He
is way too good to just sit and hold a clip board. It's amazing how it happens to our fastest guys. The league hides speedy white players like their life depends on it. That is
why we love it here Don. Thanks again to you for having the foresight to create a message board for us and for the athletes we help represent and cheer for. I've often wondered
how many high school, college and pro athletes stumble across our site and it puts a smile on their face. Not sure how many but hopefully more than we will ever know.

Isabella runs as fast as Don Beebe or any other speed player of the past. Remember how they screwed up his combine 40 times and finally said 4.31. He is more like 4.21 and would set the combine record. The Media owners through advertising revenue dictate to the league and team owners who and what race they want to promote. The Media/Government run the NFL as a psy-op to promote other over Whites and to beat Whites down. It’s a sadomasochistic relationship between NFL and White people who watch it.

I just saw where the Cards cut 10 players today Isabell wasn't one of them. I don't if that got the Cards down to 53 players or not. The cutline is 4:30 Tuesday.

The trade deadline is next week...there are some rumors of teams being interested in Isabella. The Patriots of course are linked to him (for not just the obvious reason - that they would play a White WR) but if my memory serves me correct they were primed to draft him before Arizona decided too. We can only hope that Isabella ends up on a different team in the next week - he's been a forgotten player and Cucksbury never had any intention of giving him more than very limited opportunities.

Mac Jones to Andy Isabella. I like the sounds of that. Yes it really sucks that he has lost so much time sitting on the damn bench. Again this mostly happens in football
and basketball to our most athletic guys. Even when they screw up, a guy like Matt Jones never gets a second chance. Isabella has done nothing wrong other than being
white and being very, very fast. It goes against the stereotypes. They don't want alot of Cooper Kupp Types running around. People might wake up to the TRUTH. If your
fast your fast no matter what color your skin is. The powers that be cannot let the public know. They must believe the lies.

I believe it was the Cardinals who wanted N'Keal Harry, who was sniped by the Patriots with the last pick of round 1 (the Cardinals had the first pick of round 2). The Cardinals then selected Isabella and two other receivers: Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson, neither of whom have amounted to anything.

Let's keep our fingers crossed:

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports Andy Isabella is among potential trade targets for receiver-needy teams like the Saints and Lions.
Isabella has been the forgotten man in Arizona's wideout rotation this season, replaced by A.J. Green and rookie Rondale Moore. Isabella, who has been active for one game in 2021, was an enticing, blazing fast prospect coming out of the University of Massachusetts in 2019, but has only been used when the Cards are desperate at receiver. He would likely crack the starting lineup for both Detroit and New Orleans if Arizona deals him prior to the NFL's November 2 trade deadline.

Good to see some interest in Isabella! Was starting to think we were the only ones beating the drum for him!

If one of these teams pulls the trigger for this deal, I would not want to be any cornerbacks of safeties trying to cover this kid. He is angry and hopefully with a trade
is about to be unleashed! Please let this happen. The kid is so talented and it's a crime what's been done to him in AZ. So glad they lost yesterday.

Raiders in the mix for Isabella. Free Andy!

If he ends up on the Raiders that would not be terrible - Renfrow is their best WR with Edwards flashing some this year. Ruggs looks like another Alabama hype job and Zay Jones is not good. If Mayock sticks around after this season it will be interesting to see how he has majority say in personnel decisions.

Still nothing on Isabella this morning. Let’s hope this changes before 4 pm today!
