two things bother me / havent seen anything done by the team to fix:

1. Why was run defense so terrible? They got away with it early in the season when the offense was humming along and they forced running teams to abandon it. But late: they fell behind or played these tight games and let Detroit, Indy and Sea just run at will -- which then set up their passing game. What is going to change here?

2. Run blocking was bad early in games. Again: this really showed up later in the season where it felt like the Cardinal offense was constantly looking at 2nd and long. What is going to change here?

for all the focus on Kyler or Kliff -- the reality is that for the last 7 weeks of the season, both lines were beaten in nearly all those weeks by the other team. Its hard to win football games that way.

I know @DVontel said it, but really? This is your offseason with a QB heading into the 4th year of his rookie contract? This is your offseason after getting boat raced off the field in the first round of the playoffs? Absolutely crazy how Kyler's rookie deal, the biggest advantage in pro football, has been utterly wasted.

We should bring in a fullback.

I’ll say it again.. unless something is in the works for a trade of a 1B WR and Oline starter. I’m demanding to be traded if I’m Kyler. Wtf are we doing ?

The sad part Chopper is we NEVER had the cap space since drafting Kyler. Constantly digging ourselves out of the Bradfor/Glennon signing prevented us to “ go big”. Here we are in year 4 of his contract and we still can’t go big. But hey, we were able to sign some of our own free agents. We got VALUE.

Talk about hyperbole… Digging out from Mike Glennons 2 year 8 million contract back in 2018??? Lol

By Eno Benjamin, Jon Ward, Rondale Moore, Antoine Wesley and Devon Kennard? That is your expectation of those players? Moore is about the only guy who has a real chance to get close.

FA literally just started. Sheesh.
