Do we have a Super Bowl quality D?

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Forgetting the O for a minute, would you rate our D as being on the level of most S B winning teams? If your answer is close to one, which piece are we still missing and what player out there would fill that need through FA, trade, or 2020 draft?

 

[Solar7]

Nope. We have a long way to go. DL and LB is a major question mark with the exception of Chandler Jones.

I voted close. Starting 11 is solid but depth at lb and dL is still needed. I have no doubt these deficiencies will be filled before the season starts.

Super Bowl quality D? The Rams D wasnt Super Bowl quality and they made it.

 

[Proximo]

Completely depends on the quality of the offense.

I think our D will be top 10 unless Vance Joseph screws up.

 

[BW52]

Not even close.Cards passed up a chance to get better in the draft by passing on Bosa or Q.Williams.

If our starters stay healthy you bet.
Pretty sure we are gonna be top ten before the season is over....

But adding Donky Kong to help stop the run wouldn't hurt

I’ll go with slanidrac16 on this one. Depth is the issue. The have good players in every unit, but they could easily be derailed by injury.

This is like trying to evaluate a rookie in Rosen working under that coaching staff. What I look at is the way this defense played prior to a Holcomb/Wilks' botched 4-3 switch, and everything tells me that I expect a top ten defense. With the way the defense had been prior to Holcomb, I still maintain Holcomb was a worst coach than even Famous Amos at Special Teams

After last year I just hope we have a NFL caliber D

 

[Proximo]

If you look at our starters on defense only, In my opinion it is the best group of starters the Arizona Cardinals have ever had.

But, our depth is not good, not that it usually is.

I really am not worried about our defense.

I am worried about our O-line, and how well Kingsbury and Kyler adapt to the NFL.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Not even close.Cards passed up a chance to get better in the draft by passing on Bosa or Q.Williams.

Yeah they took the route to be great instead of sticking with the worst starting QB in the National Football League.

 

[Finito]

Defense wasn’t the problem last year but our offense was historically bad and going 3 and out time after time leaves your D dead tired at the end of the game.

I expect our D to be really good this year
