His biggest problem may be beating his teammates to the QB.You expect a 28 year old with 64 NFL starts to, what, be top 5 in sacks this season? 11+ sacks?

With the upgrades on defense playing same difficult schedule as last year would land you at least 10 wins. Add a little better health on the OL we easily make waves.Hi Harry, great writeup. Best I have seen on the Cardinals this year. We should improve with the easier schedule. Like most teams the season will be determined by how well the QB plays. I am not optimistic.
Seems fairly mid to me (17 players had 10+ sacks in 2024; 35 had 8+ sacks). 12 would be excellent.I expect around 10, +- 2, and decent run D. That seems good to great for me.
Petzing has let Murray throw the ball deep, but Murray has thrown interceptions and then Petzing reverts to the ground game and short passing plays. Murray had a good deep ball when he was throwing to Hopkins. Since Hopkins left his deep ball has been poor.I still think Petzing is majorly at fault for the offense's lack of production.
He just doesn't want to take chances at all. Why I am not sure, it may be he doesn't trust Kyler, or it may be he just doesn't trust any QB to throw down the field. All I know is Kyler was much more effective throwing down field before he got here - so to me logically he is the reason.
Imo... remove the injuries,...add the new talent we added this off season...and last season would have been 11 wins minimum.With the upgrades on defense playing same difficult schedule as last year would land you at least 10 wins. Add a little better health on the OL we easily make waves.
So the idea of doing better based on an easier schedule implies we need that?
Yeah I kinda expect double digit sacks from sweat being back in this system...10 might even be disappointing...12 would be good...since he had 11 last time he played in this system.Seems fairly mid to me (17 players had 10+ sacks in 2024; 35 had 8+ sacks). 12 would be excellent.
Deranged take.Lot of this “the Cards are gonna have a top defense” hangs precariously on the assumption that Walter Nolen and Darius Robinson are going to be above-average NFL players very quickly.
Sweat and Tomlinson and Campbell are average starters.
Or they have much cheaper roster options and it leaves cap space open for future moves.The Eagles have $25 million in effective cap space right now. I don't think the Eagles let those guys leave because they're bad; I think the Eagles let those guys leave because they're not that good.
The more realistic reason would be that they do not want to have so much money tied up in a single position group and they have to extent two other players, who are both 1st roundersThe Eagles have $25 million in effective cap space right now. I don't think the Eagles let those guys leave because they're bad; I think the Eagles let those guys leave because they're not that good.
Good post. Compelling and rich.Deranged take.
Curious about all these questions. No rational explanation for them. You provide no thoughts for them.You expect a 28 year old with 64 NFL starts to, what, be top 5 in sacks this season? 11+ sacks?
lol. You’re being intentionally obtuse. Gimme a break.Curious about all these questions. No rational explanation for them. You provide no thoughts for them.
What factor does age at 28 have for a pass rusher?
How is starts (64) a factor?
Where does the definition of top 5 = great or 11+ = great come from?
If I didn’t know any better, it’s almost like you are just pulling random stuff out of your ass to be aggressive towards other posters. But, that would certainly not be your style![]()
At least we got your thoughts on the age.lol. You’re being intentionally obtuse. Gimme a break.
A guy past his prime is unlikely to set high-water marks for past production. I’d consider top 5 to be “great” production, and 11 sacks would qualify as top five.
Find a new slant.
Question is how much he was asked not to do and how much he was incapable of fixingI still think Petzing is majorly at fault for the offense's lack of production.

28 is past prime now?lol. You’re being intentionally obtuse. Gimme a break.

My exact point.28 is past prime now?
It's full on in Prime for the NFLMy exact point.
Just made up BS.
28 is not a past prime age at any position. You can discuss 30 as past prime for some positions. Edge isn’t one of them.
Come on K9...you know a guy at 28 still has a couple prime years left...especially a pass rusher.lol. You’re being intentionally obtuse. Gimme a break.

Eh it is fine.Going all in on Kyler to make him a game manger is pretty sad.
his blocking kicking scores show he is a me first ego player. bUsT!You must be registered for see images attach
I'm kind of worried about this signing. His throw on the run is only a 6.
