I thought Lopez was actually pretty solid his first time around, but he's not really a playmaker, he's a solid plugger.
Assuming Brissett is the Best QB Option

It would probably taste good if bbq’d. Could probably taco it with some fresh guacamole.

Well...that actually strengthens my view LOL.
Just Khyiris Tonga who was decent with the Cardinals as well and left to play a lot of quality snaps for the Patriots last year and is very well regarded.
Monti should have resigned both.

BIM must be on vacation because that's at least the third time I've seen re-signed but without the hyphen...LOL
The offense showing they can sustain long drives will be the thing that helps this defense the most. They were usually gassed come the 4th quarter.
Well, we were in Vegas to celebrate my birthday (June 4th) and Father's Day (June 21st) with my dad this past weekend. Then, at work, I basically had to tear down the technology at one site and move it to a different site, then reassemble much of it. So, it has felt like an ASFN absence to me, too. LOL

I think they were less gassed and more not talented. Just my opinion. Dalvin Tomlinson led the team in defensive snap % at 48%. Tough to argue guys are gassed when they are playing less than 70% of snaps in a game. I used 70% of snaps because Josh sweat didn't exceed 67.7% of snaps in any game last year. Calais never played more than 56.7% of snaps. Nolen only had 1 game over 56.5%.
That leaves you with a roster of DRob, Stills, Collins, Burch, and Browning...I don't know that people are viewing those players as good or impactful when it comes down to end of games. Maybe you disagree.
Yes % of snaps is a thing. So is total snaps. I will fully admit I haven't researched that but I recall the defense being on the field all the time
For example .0001% of SpaceX is still a huge amount of money
So then, of course, I had to look at the data. Pass attempts against + rush attempts against +defensive penalties committed.

The 5 worst and the number.

And the 5 defenses that had the least amount of snaps
| New England Patriots | 839 |
| Denver Broncos | 829 |
| Seattle Seahawks | 827 |
| Jacksonville Jaguars | 817 |
| Houston Texans | 806 |
So league average was 951 the Cardinals as a team played 13% more snaps than an average defense. 50% of the defensive snaps on the Cardinals was 63% of the snaps on an average defense.
Compared to a top 5 total snaps like the Seahawks, it is a whopping 30% more total snaps. So a 50% defender on the Cardinals saw the same snaps as a guy who played 80% of the time on the Seahawks.
I believe my point is valid.

That’s 7.29 snaps per game. The percentages don’t really illuminate anything.
Sure but my overall point that an efficient offense that keeps this defense off the field is more likely to help the defense than say LJ Collier.

Okay but that’s not what the data bears out. This is just a qualitative argument.
Obviously upgrading from Roy Lopez to Byron Murphy would be superior. The Bengals had an extremely efficient offense and were still among the laggards in plays against.
