I can’t believe team or team media believe their own BS. Probably 90% of the snaps leading to 183 rushing attempts in an NFL season sounds just fine in their Stupid bubble. One dimensional any way you cut it, other teams love to face cards and count cards as a win again. really thought KK turned the corner as a play caller at the end, but the team is not prepared to run the ball, in preseason or anytime after really.



Conner has 782 yards rushing on 183 carries this season, gaining 30 more yards on 19 fewer carries than he did last season. His yards-per-carry is back to 4.3, after dipping to a career-low 3.7 last season. He has nine more receptions this season as well -- 46 catches for 300 yards. He has eight total touchdowns.


The Cardinals need to find Conner a tag-team partner -- whether it's Keaontay Ingram or someone else -- so Conner doesn't have to take 90 percent of the snaps. But he has the kind of mentality you want on your roster, especially when the Cardinals try to reboot to however they are going to reboot for 2023.

This offense is not going to work without a dominant running back. They know this. They know where the deficiencies are. Not saying that will or should save anyone’s job, but that’s the reality.

We need a lot of inside help, but you cant ignore the play makers. Where is our Diggs, AJ Brown, Adams, or next Larry Fitzgerald .... oh wait cannot get him for we need a better OL. Where is our Eckler, Chubb, or MacCaffrey .... oh wait we need a better DL.

These guys are out there available in R1. What do we want to do? Same old taking shots at R1 DTs and OLmen who under perform or we play out of position before cutting them. Why not save our R2-4 for that stuff? I am sure we needed other positions besides WR when we drafted Larry. But look what just 1 true play maker did for us for all those years.

We thought Eno was his partner, but POOF he was gone. Guess you can blame Kiem for putting together such a terrific running back corp and outstanding offensive line.
