At least getting some looks early..
the caption on this one was "first unit offense"
That picture should be called, "The Plan"
Because it is what it is. The plan is for the line to be:
LT: Veldheer
LG: Cooper
OC: Sendlein
RG: Watford
RT: Massie
If those names play to what there potential is, physically and mentally then that is a pretty damn good line.
And even if it is not a good line, then I can at least say it is the best line that Arizona has had in a long, long time.
Jared Veldheer is 26 years old, Bobby Massie is 24 years old, Jonathan Cooper is 24 years old, Earl Watford is 23 years old, and Sendlein is the old man at 30 years old.
There are a lot of years ahead for 4 out of the 5 starters.
Not to mention our depth consists of 3 players whom have all started in this league:
Bradley Sowell
Paul Fanaika
Ted Larson
and that probably means Nate Potter gets cut this year.......yes, the guy whom started 8 games for the Cardinals at LT at one point will be cut.
Dare I say it, the Cardinals have potentially gotten their offensive line to a point where it is of NFL quality from starter to depth.
For once there is a lot a promise with this group, to the point where we are going to have to possibly fixate on other areas of the team. LOL
I still wonder about Sendlein in the middle. But, 2 coaching staffs have kept him in there so my worries are probably not justified.
He just seems to get pushed back fairly easy and that rush up the middle/right just might be fierce. If Watford can't help a whole lot it could be rough for CP.
Sendlein is likely never going to play at a pro bowl level but there's something to be said for having a veteran leader at the center position. I'm sure he makes all the line calls and he's been around awhile. Sure, I'd like to upgrade and get a bigger anchor in there, but I don't think he's high on the list when it comes to positional upgrades, at least from the FO's view.I still wonder about Sendlein in the middle.
