Arizona Cardinals: If 2016 was the Golden Globes
By Scott Allen
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role
Winner: Kameron Canady
The rookie long-snapper was in a training camp competition to replace the retired Mike Leach. Instead of looking for a veteran, the Cardinals decided to allow two rookies to battle it out for the job in 2016.
That experiment didn’t last too long. Canady almost immediately was a problem. The problems did not present themselves though until the season began.
Canady appeared to be someone in over his head. He botched a snap in the New England game and although Catanzaro missed his game-winning kick, the snap was never right.
He was called out for needing to do a better job. Then came the game at the Buffalo Bills. That was a debacle. A botched snap led to a Bills touchdown.
At that point, the Cardinals had seen about enough. Canady put on a good act in training camp to make the team but was nothing but a disaster in a role that usually gets the least scrutiny every year.
