Kudos to the OLine

[MadCardDisease]

Third week in a row with solid OLine play. Great job by the big uglies up front!

Definitely better and hope they continue like this through the rest of the season.

For all the crap they take, they deserve a lot of praise because they are looking like a solid unit lately.

#71 is coming along at RT, didn't hear his name at all today. Maybe we found our swing OT of the future

Oh no. Do we re-sign BOTH Humphries and Murray???

The other Murray. Yes the o-line looked good and Shipley played as well as I have seen. Keep DJ Humphries. The franchise needs to focus on fixing the defense

 

[JeffGollin]

They opened holes and protected Murray.

Now let's get the number of penalties down

Scary but probably.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Amazing what continuity can do. Great job.

Amazing what continuity can do. Great job.

And quality coaching

Sweezy and Pugh have been outstanding in particular. And, did anyone else notice how we are pulling effing Shipley on these sweeps and he is getting good blocks?

Maybe Kugler is that good?

 

[Chopper0080]

Scary but probably.

It wouldn't be my first choice, but Murray does have a decent athletic profile. 6'5. 300+. 9ft 8inch broad jump. sub 5 40yrd dash.

It's probably a combination of things - but when is the last time we had the same 5 guys playing the first 7 games? Something to be said for continuity and "gelling".

Plus won't he be some sort of restricted FA, that can be had cheap?

Huge change

 

[gmabel830]

We had 8 sacks and gave up 2... and out rushed them when they have one of the best in the game. I’ll take that every week.

Air raid with a power run game. A great mix, keeps the defense running left and right all day. Keep switching WRs in and out and you'll be fresher than the defense in the 4th quarter.

Barkley is no Edmonds...

 

[Dr. Jones]

I told a lot of my Philly friends that if we stayed healthy, we would be ok. I think we may be a middle 10 unit in the NFL now.

Scheme, coaching, and health. All going our way right now.

With that being said:

 

[Proximo]

To be honest I have no idea what is going on, I cannot believe our group of lineman are playing this well.

I do think some of it is the level of competition they have gone against the last 3 weeks, but even so their performance has been amazing.

 

[AZCB34]

They are stacking solid outings and that is encouraging.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Barkley is no Edmunds...

He's no Edmonds, too.

Yes, staying injury free matters the most. I’ll give the OL their due, as they have been better......but. Once KK became predictable in the weather, our offense became stagnant. It certainly didn’t help that we were missing Johnson & Kirk. Let’s also not kid ourselves. Even though K1 ran himself into a sack yesterday, his mobility saves this OL about 3-4 would be sacks every week. We’ll see how they do against the Saints next week before we crown them. Don’t get me wrong. Against the Saints, no one can expect perfection. But KK better be craftier than he was yesterday. Or it’ll be a very long afternoon. That Saints D is very, very good.

 

[Capital Card]

Amazing what continuity can do. Great job.

As well as availability... Who made up our starting OL last year while Shipley, Pugh, Iupati, and Humphries were on IR?

On one particular week it was Cunningham, Gossett, Cole, Aboushi, and Holden. Have any of them started a game this year, for any team?

Total snap counts for 2019:

Korey Cunningham: 60 for the Patriots
Colby Gossett: 0. Browns practice squad player
Mason Cole: 3
Oday Aboushi: 0. Backup for Detroit
Will Holden: 0. 49ers practice squad player

I'm not one to use the expression that "It can't get worse" but in the case of the 2018 Cardinals OL, that is indeed a fact. They've held up well thus far, and have looked good against the NFL's version of the sisters of the poor. The next five games will be a great test to see what we've really got. They've had half a season to gel. Should give Keim and Co. the data they need to start making decisions towards next years roster.

Go Cards!!!
