"They're going after a Guard and a Center in free agency"

[sundevil04]

Per MJ

That's exactly what they should be doing and what I, along with others, have predicted. They need to keep Palmer protected to have any chance.

Iuapti/Franklin at OG and Hudson/Wisniewski at C, I would assume are the main targets.

I'm down with the Cowboys approach instead. Draft em. Don't overpay old guys.

If your smart about it you can get a good one who is also young in free agency ie Jared Veldheer.

 

[NMCard]

No surprises. The Cards have been one of the worst ranked teams rushing the ball. The have made improvements at the Tackle positions. Now it is time to improve the center and guard positions. They have to be able to get the run game going.

Were gonna poach the Bay Area: Iupati and Wisey!!

Just read an article yesterday that had Sendlein ranked next to last in Center production. Only the Rams center graded out worse.

I knew he allowed some push but I never thought he was as bad as that.

True. But it's rare to land a young stud lineman in free agency. Glad we were the rare occurrence.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Never have been satisfied with Sendlein.

Our weak point has always been the middle of the Oline. Smart move to solidify it with some quality players. Will benefit the offense in so many ways.

I think it would be funny if we poach another home run offensive lineman from yet another horrible decision from the Raiders to let one leave via free agency two years in a row.

I am HOPING beyond hope we pull that off.

We already pulled the ultimate rare insert card of a talented LT in his prime in FA...that just doesn't happen. A C and a G should be much easier.

We've shown we can't draft 'em and we can't groom em. Go buy 'em.

Ha ha...its funny because its true.

The problem with our interior lineman is they're playing next to another interior lineman that is equally bad or worse. Gotta overhaul 2/3 of them and hope Cooper gets it together.

That is because you like them Cowboys lol

I find it interesting the week after the season ended & there was a thread about the Oline. I brought up that Sendlein was the last piece of puzzle left from the Oline that maybe he was part of the problem in the lack of a running game that had been bad during his tenure. I was flamed for it & now it seems everyone is all excited we might get a better center to anchor the Oline.

Lyle is a solid, steady player...nothing more & that's coming from a Horns fan. It's time to turn the page & try something new imo.

Just like the Cards of yesterday. The Cards trash was another teams all pro

 

[juza76]

palmer had a good protection this year, the injury he had was due to the weakness of his ligament

+1

I am not sure where the talent is in this free agent class that the Cardinals are going to spend money on.

Mike "I'm hurt" Iupati ? Please I hope not.

Justin Blalock was released, and he is a pretty good veteran guard, that is a signing I can get behind.

As for center? I just don't see anyone that is worth free agent money.

JMHO.

One under the radar G I think might be of interest is Joe Reitz of the Colts. Played for BA...has excellent size (6-6, 326) and has played well at G and RT.

Good call Mitch, BA likes his ex-players.

 

[Goldfield]

Nothing would make me happier to see us FINALLY put together a strong oline. It's been the weak part of this franchise for as long as I can remember.

Good depth, sure, but he hasn't been a starter at any point in his career.

That being said, he would come cheap, so its not much of a risk.

I was right there with you, Bucky. I've wanted a new C for quite a while now. Sendlein just isn't good enough.

 

[Chopper0080]

I am always good with investing in the offensive line. It allows you to do so many different things on offense, and normally is lower risk.

He has been getting a pass for years. I have been singing Sendlein's crappings for years now. He has been bad for years and every one thought he must be doing fine if he isn't replaced......
