Guard Play

[football karma]

The win was great.


That being said: if Cooper and Watford aren't the starting guards next year, something is wrong.

Larson wasn't good today. Fanaika was only marginally better.

That's my general impression but I'm horrible about watching the line play during the game. I believe that Veldheer is a solid LT who if given a bit of help chipping at times will keep Palmer clean. Massie seems to be doing a very good job in Pass Pro for the most part as well. If the above is true then the problem is the interior Oline.

This Larsen/Fanaika experiment was fun while it lasted, but they're not very good. Obvious weak links. At this point, it's silly to keep Coop on the bench.

they definitely gave up a lot of pressure, time to at the least get coop in there and see how he plays.

The Cardinals don't want to break up the continuity up front. But the current "continuity" isn't getting it done at times. IIRC, Palmer was hit on nine of his first dozen pass attempts today.

Not if he can't beat out Fanaika nor Larsen...

If there was fantasy football for defenders I'd start Aaron Donald this week.

Well, his continuity is going to get Palmer killed.

Agree

We can't afford to let the other teams hit CP like today. That was terrible.

I'm ready to see Cooper back in there.. Keim/BA have both been praising him in practices -- with the current guard play, I see no reason not to throw him in there.

"Continuity" is what kept Levi Brown on the line for 7 seasons.

If the season began tomorrow, Cooper would be the week 1 starter.

I respect Arians, but at this point, he's doing the team a disservice by keeping him on the bench in favor of those two jabronis.

Was it only seven?

Coop may be dinged, we don't always know the whole story. I trust in BA, I'm a BAliever!

 

[AZ Native]

seems like 70?

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I in the camp of I don't believe in sacrificing better talent just to have continuity. I think, while Cooper may be improving, he's hasn't been significantly better to warrant a change. If he was pulling and dominating athletically, he'd be in there. He's probably only performing marginally better, if that, and the staff figures why mess with the chemistry unless there a vast improvement in the offing.

The Rams DL wrecked havoc today. May not be a great time for Coop to be thrown in the fire. Then again it can't get any worse then the way Larsen is performing right now. He's looking like a poor mans Adam Snyder tight now.
