Yay! The Cardinals are not on the list!

PFF podcast did a ranking of the buttom 5. They had a long discussion on the Cardinals, because as they said, we haven't seen the potential show on the field, so you could argue that that it was a buttom 5 team at this moment.

But they actually said if talent evolves, then this is a 10 win team, and then continued in a discussion if that was possible the tough schedule

 

[Crimson Warrior]

I mean we're certainly a better team vs. 2023.

We lost... Hamilton? Am I remembering correctly? Was AH the only player of any note that's gone from last year? Wow.

And then all the new talent on both sides of the ball.

So it's really a question of will we struggle to win six or seven wins, or will we be a fringe playoff team?

I will be severely disappointed if we're not "in the hunt" week 11 and beyond.

Dallas, Pittsburgh and the Philly game doesn’t show potential on the field, hmmm.

4 of the 5 CBs are unproven. Our #1 WR hasn't played a down in the NFL. One of our starting DEs the same. Neither has our back-up RB or back-up TE.

Can Kyler stay healthy for an entire season? I’m rooting for him but I hope he can be more durable this year.

so we are better, right

IF they develop as expected - better than a 4 win team, which still is a buttom 5 team.

Starters lost from last season with the new starter.

Offense
#1 WR - Hollywood Brown -> MHJ
TE - Zach Ertz -> Trey McBride
LT/RT - D.J. Humphries/Paris Johnson -> Paris Johnson/Jonah Williams
LG - Wilkerson -> Brown/Adam

Defense
DL - L.J. Collier/Leki Fotu/Jonathan Ledbetter -> Darius Robinson/Justin Jones/Bilal Nicols
ILB - Krys Barnes -> Mack Wilson
CB - Wilson/Hamilton/Clark -> SMB/Max Melton/Garrett Williams

While not all these players are gone, their roles are reduced/changed if they are still here.

If we aren't, Monti isn't doing anywhere near a good job.

 

[PACardsFan]

We’re a very young team playing a top 10 schedule. At least that’s how PFF rates our schedule. Anything can happen, but I’m optimistic that we’ll continue to improve.

These guys have us at 16th easiest...middle of the road.

Oh wow, DJ! That's a pretty big one!

In fact we're shaking up the Offensive Line pretty good, and it might be six or seven weeks into the season before this group is playing it's best football!

Thanks bankybruce!

On paper there are pretty good upgrades in all areas with the exception of tackles which may be a scratch.

The Raiders defensive line is so stacked it'll be interesting to see if they can eke out an extra win or two and not end up in the bottom five.
