Well this sucks...

Oh and BTW

This dream O-Line of the Cardinals is slowly becoming a nightmare already and its only week two of the preseason.

Rotoworld just posted that the Cards Oline has questions all over except LT :bang::bang::bang:

Oh well it was fun while it lasted.


Good lord... Even though I had reason to be pessimistic a lot back in the day, I apologize to everyone for being like the above for years.

Good thing we have depth, but I wish we didn't have to use it. We've still got Cooper, Larsen & Watford so we should be fine at both guard spots until Iupati is back.

Now the question becomes, do you keep Cooper at RG so he continues to work where he's expected to play all season once Iupati is back? Or do you move him to LG until Iupati is back & then move him again? I'd probably keep him at RG so that he can continue developing his communication with whatever RT will be playing that week (Massie, DJ, Sowell.... UGH Sowell...).

Every team is losing key players and we aren't even through half of the pre-season games. It appears the teams that are going to win from now on are those who have the strongest bench. Next guy up is the key to winning now. You gotta start spending more money on 2nd and 3rd stringers in order to keep a higher quality player on the bench to start the season. I know in fantasy, I draft a strong bench in my auction leagues, and probably spend the least on my starters compared to the other teams. It has been a strong strategy for me the last few years. Gotta have a legit starter sitting on bench at RB, WR, and QB. One of your starters is almost guaranteed to be out for the season sooner or later.

Watford is entering his 3rd year. If he can't fill in for 2-3 games, then he shouldn't be on the roster.

Are/could these injuries be related in any way to the lack of not warming/loosening up properly?

Unreal. Oline seems to be doomed to never get all the pieces at the same time to be a good Oline.

Should have signed Evan Mathis when he was available.

Since we didn't the young guys need to step up their game. Earl Watford and DJ

I say BA needs to fire the guru Roger Kingdom first, then if we are still having issues BA needs to re-evaluate that philosophy.

For those who said Mr "get your mind right" wouldn't be missed :trout:

Would not be surprised if this one turns into a much longer term than reported.

I wonder if the coaches move Cooper back to the left side and put the next man up on the right?

I've read ,where it's going to be Larson again. Probably for continuity, because he played alongside Veldheer last yr.

Coop should stay right where he is at...moving him back to the left will just confuse him...too early in the transition.
Larson,...or maybe Watford can win the job

Why? I would expect it to be shorter. I think O-lineman play hurt more than any other position in the league. I wouldn't be surprised to seem him out there week 1.
