a kind of a contrarian take:

while i believe the Cards o-line is better than generally given credit for

i also believe that teams have gone to a "mush rush" on many downs that emphasizes contain / keeping Murray in the pocket rather than getting upfield quickly to pressure him

And we threw tons of swing passes to limit the rush as well.

I’d be curious how these pressures were distributed as well, I thought our tackles were strong against pass rush but our interior allowed too many pressures which are generally higher impact than pressures from the edges.
Ding, ding, ding! Exactly the truth!

This report certainly doesn't pass the eye test. Kyler has spent the majority of his career running for his life because he gets almost immediate pressure.

This thread is a joke. I just watched a replay of the Buffalo game & Murray was harassed throughout.
