Iupati out again because of injury. Surprise!

Pugh leaving the game early with a knee injury. Not Again!

The Cardinals OL continues to be the biggest weakness of this team. Andre Smith was getting beaten like a drum. I don't even know who the Cardinals had a guard once Pugh went down with an injury. How Rosen survived this game with the beating he took is beyond me. Rosen couldn't even do a quick 3 step drop and pass without getting knocked down. In fact it felt like Rosen was hit every time he went back to pass.

My only hope is that Rosen survives the season without a major injury. I think he is the real deal and the Cardinals need to make protecting him their biggest priority this offseason.

And we want DL, WR, LB and CB in the 1st Rd.?

Lots of holes.

DL was pretty good at least.
I think I’d put Safety before CB, thought I wouldn’t draft either in round 1. Doubt Boston returns & Bethea is old & just about washed. We can go just about any position in round 2 & I wouldn’t be mad. Really scary tbh.

For a week secondary is good and bad another. For another week D-Line is good and bad another week.

This team has no identity at all. Without identity you are a perennial 4-12 team. I don't know why 2019 will be any different.

Probably can add S in FA I'd imagine.

They picking at 5 should have a good L\RT available there. If it's deep at OL maybe a trade back for an extra 2nd and you can really address the starter spots hopefully.

Hopefully with a 2nd year QB, a improved (league average) OL, they can continue to add to the starting unit viable starters. It starts, OL then goes LB/WR, then CB, S. If those spots can be shored up then there is a chance at a better beginning and continued cohesion and success.

Reuping Benwikere looks to be a start for now.

I think the Cardinals should just stop trying to fix the offensive line.

Let's just accept that an offensive line in Arizona is going to last as long as a small engine motor anywhere on my property.

It's just not going to work, and if by some miracle is does work ? It will not work for long.

This problem for the Cardinals have been around for decades now, and not matter that Owner, GM, scout office, and head coach, the offensive line just does not produce anything.
