^Vastly improved left tackle has overshadowed getting worse at left guard and right tackle.

The guards both need improvement but not the right tackle. Jumping on Massie after one bad game is wrong, because I feel he has played better than Winston had last season and I think it should be to a degree where it is obvious. I am waiting, though, for someone to bring up replacing Sendlein, he has been suggested being replaced on this line even longer than people wanted Johnson replaced at safety on defense... and yet they are still both Cardinals :D

^It isn't "just one bad game" for Massie. The tell all stat for Massie is two injured quarterbacks.

5 plays for Cooper. Ohhhhh, the excitement.

If Keim really had those concerns and Cooper was better than the other's, he'd be starting by now.

Was he a straight shooter about Ryan Williams? Do you trust him more about Cooper being ready to play, or Arians when he says that Cooper isn't one of the 5 best offensive linemen?

Why can't Arians be spinning to get a fire going under his future OG while he keeps continuity with his current starters to protect a backup QB? Seems as plausible as you saying Keims words are simply PR...

The loss of Nicklas is quietly detrimental to our run game. By far our best blocking TE. I expect that Arians won't fool with line continuity at this point, but expect to see a lot more Cooper at Tight End for the next few games. It's exactly how he worked Massie back into the lineup last year.
