The Cardinals spent almost every cap dollar and draft pick on defense this offseason. The result?Defensive EPA/play: 25th in NFL
Yards allowed: 26th in NFL
Points allowed: 27th in NFL

WHY IS IT A FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT MONTI IS COMING BACK?!?

the tackling on this defense is just atrocious.

you notice watching not just the Texans -- but pretty much every other NFL team. The defense gives up SO MANY hidden yards on plays. Runs that look like they might get 1 yard get 3 or 4. Play after play after play.

This year has been "bad" football all around, save for a few teams. Quite a strange year.

That's what I have been saying. A real separation between the bottom 1/3 and top 1/3. It blows my mind that as crappy as we have been we are still only pick #6. Outside of decent QB range which is either Mendoza or Moore.

If you really believe in one of those guys, you can trade up. I just don't want Monti anywhere near that decision.

We are so bad at tackling it really shows how the D has quit

Sad to see the half attempts and the RBs just bouncing off and getting more yards

The difference between the hitting of our defense compared to the defense we are playing is so glaring. We really sucked talent wise in Gannon's first year but at least they hit.

Oh goodness gracious
And honestly, I don't really believe a lot of these players are checking out because they aren't really good enough to. Most of the guys getting snaps are trying to stay in the league if possible. They want someone to give them another shot at some point and this is their moment to put tape out. I also think this is why you see some of the vets going on IR or getting less snaps once the game becomes non-competitive.

Just my opinion.

This is what’s been noticeable to me as well. Lots of glancing blows instead of squaring up. When they do those glancing blows it is easier to turn into a missed or broken tackle.

As @Chopper0080 i think mentioned, these guys are playing for their jobs so they aren’t quitting. I think they want remains. It comes back to this being a severe low level of talent even with all the moves this last offseason
