Probably.
On the first depth chart, it was listed that Cunningham, Sweet, and Lawrence as the back up RT. But now Cunningham has been traded since the depth chart was released, soooooooo….

 

[CardNots]

The offseason was fantastic, plenty to discuss.

If the opening is a train wreck, it’s our train wreck...

 

[BullheadCardFan]

We have been waiting a long time for the season to start.

So much has been discussed and gone over.

Time for this team to show us what they are about.

After last years teams very poor showing we need to see some improvement.

Make it happen!

Go Cardinals!

Up and just about to get in the Uber to the airport. Go Cards!

If Miles goes down, Shane is next man up

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Early games for me are Rams at Panthers or Chiefs at Jaguars.

Have to hope that our swiss cheese Oline doesn't get Murray or DJ injured.

How many time last year did the Dline blow through and be in the backfield before the ball was handed off or was on top of the QB before he could do anything? Too many times.

The kool aid drinker in me says 10 years from now we’ll be saying, “Hey don’t knock a 7th round pick, All-pro tackle Josh Miles was a 7th round pick?”

That's because our offense provided absolutely no imaginative threat to make them pay for pinning back their ears. Our OL was almost as bad when Warner was here. Warner was about as mobile as Peyton Manning, yet salivated when teams did that to him. Last year was an abomination. We had a QB who wasn't NFL ready & an offense being run by Pop Warner coaches.

Crazy thought. Everybody is concerned about the o-line holding up. So am I. I think the lions will be thinking the cards will be throwing short quick passes to get the ball out of Murray’s hand quickly. I’m sure we will most of the time.

So I believe early in the game as the Lions are dropping into short zones will be the best time to look for chunk plays. Now I don’t think Murray is going to be standing in the pocket for 5 seconds very many times. But I think early in the game will be a great time to hit a couple of big plays.

Early game for me is my granddaughter's soccer game. 12;30 PM, NY time. Home in plenty of time for the AZ game.

Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In every walk of life, to be successful, you better be prepared to respond appropriately. Teams pinned back their ears last year & spent 90% of the time in our backfield. Why you ask? Because we had almost no ability to respond. Murray won't be able to escape every blitz, but when he does, he'll make teams reconsider pinning their ears back or blitzing ever gap on running plays.

 

[Iron Lion]

Good luck fellas.

 

[slanidrac16]

Good luck fellas.

Thanks. Let’s hope it’s a great game with no injuries.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Let's go Big Red! Let's take it to them!

 

[NMCard]

Last season it only took one half of football during the opening game to know that Bidwill and SK made very poor choices.
I’m hoping to see improvements starting today.

I'm so excited about today's game and the Cardinals offense. If the Lions blitz let's make them pay.

 

[Finito]

I’m so nervous
