The second-team defense (with some starters mixed) just had a decent 11-on-11 showing that included Dante Stills and Dennis Gardeck “sacks.” Darren Hall broke up an end zone look for no score.

Multiple offensive penalties stalled the Cardinals drive during 2-minute drill.

Marvin Harrison Jr. drew a DPI/holding penalty. And Trey McBride had a big drop.

The Cardinals failed to score.

Usually, I have to depend upon some of the posts to give me a laugh, but today I'm turning to the team, both players and coaches. I read so much where the player/coach describe the team's play. Goes like this. "We did a lot of good things, but also made some mistakes. But the mistakes are EASILY FIXABLE."

I am starting to get very worried about the oline. A lot more worried about that than I am the pass rush.

Thing about the OL is they've shown to do pretty well when they are balanced and can use play action.

Just need the defense to not have us forced to throw the ball and DE's can pin their ears back. If we can stay balanced they should be OK.

This was my thinking as well. Plus a couple of new starters means there will be an adjustment period initially.

Right. They were shakey to start last season but gelled pretty well by week 12 or so. I would expect it to happen faster this season

The O line play is the only thing that matters to me anymore in pre-season on offense. Hate to say it- but really don't care who #6 WR is. How the oline gels, improves, and replaced if needed is vital for us to figure out before we get rolling in real time.

Kyler can be devastating with good protection- and looks his worst when constantly being pressured. I know this statement sounds obvious, but Kyler is not one of those QBs that can put a pass rush on their heels and punish them for coming after him hard.

The problem with the OL seems to me is that we don't know who is playing. In practice I read "the starters". In the PS games I read that "the starters" won't play. And then I look at a depth chart and read that the depth chart means nothing. So, I have no idea how the OL is doing.
I think the "depth chart means nothing" only applies to 3rd string and below. Our OL starters seem to be locked in.
