It's not earth shattering information but it's worth a read.

I go by the towel test... how much blood is in a towel after your QB wipes his face after each possession lol

Mike Devlin was one of the nicest former Cardinals players. He used to come in to my work all the time and he would send time talking to me about the team.

Mike was doing a promotional thing at an auto parts store in North Phoenix back in the bad old days.

My son and I went to see him. We felt bad because no one showed up but it was great for us because we had 45 minutes of just him and us visiting because we were the only ones there.

Kinda like Flaggstaff used to be in those days.

We had a good time and he is a great guy.

It's like what I thought, OL stats are basically meaningless. They're a baseline but you can't put much stock into them.

And while I respect Ross Tucker, Arians' offensive line is not setup the way Tucker talks about in the article.

We discussed this on the board last offseason, that while Tucker says most teams leave their RG on an island and their RG is usually the stronger of the two guards, the Cardinals are not setup that way. The LG on our offensive line is the more important of the two guard positions.
