    Kevin Kolb is struggling in the Cardinals offense right now. Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic reports that according to coaches and to Kolb, is the transition from playing in a West Coast offense in Philadelphia to the Cardinals' scheme. The differences are great, from the defensive reads Kolb must make to the footwork required for throws. Asked for a specific example, Kolb said: "We have a lot of route-changing going on during the play. I'm trying to adjust to that on the fly sometimes, and I'm not used to having to do that. I'm used to coming back seven steps, hit your back foot, one hitch, boom, get it (the football) out. Where here it could a three-step, a five-step, or a seven-step on any given play, depending on the look we get. "It's something I've been dealing with since I got here. It's nothing new." It's something the Cardinals think Kolb would have improved upon if the lockout had not eliminated off-season work.
