I think we will have our best OL in the Keim era this year. Not only because of personnel, but because of coaching and scheme. Ray Brown is going to work wonders with these guys. Chip blocks will help as will. BA left his guys hung out to dry on the edges.

Yup. It’ll be awesome celebrating the savings when all these guys are injured And we suck! :D
Now you're bitching just to bitch. If there was someone out there with the same talent level & no injury history at the same price, you'd have a point.

Bottom line is, it's not often a team is able to protect itself like this from potential injuries, and it's not often players are willing to bet on their own health and sign a contract that actually pays them less if they get hurt. So, nice job Keim.

Cardinals OL Justin Pugh: Don’t include me on your injury-prone list
With Arizona also bringing in quarterback Sam Bradford, the narrative was that the team had signed an injury prone free-agent class. Pugh missed eight games of the 2017 season with a back injury.

Could the Cardinals rely on him to shore up an offensive line in bad need of an upgrade? Could he help protect the injury-prone Bradford and give the Cardinals a chance to improve on last season’s 8-8 record?


“Some people didn’t even know what happened with me,” Pugh said. “They thought I got surgery on my back. That’s people not doing their diligence.”

Delicate flowers playing a big boy sport. ;)
gotta see his point though. other than last year he doesnt have much injury history,...he is one of the better guards in the league,...and the league is starved for good olinemen...one would expect his phone to be ringing off the hook

With a chip on his shoulder, Cardinals’ Justin Pugh eager to prove himself

Everything seems to be falling into place for the Arizona Cardinals as they near the end of mandatory minicamp.


They have a new head coach in Steve Wilks, competition in the quarterback’s room and an offensive line that is ready to show improvement after allowing 123 hits on the quarterback in 2017 — second-most in the NFL behind the Cleveland Browns

Signed in March to a five-year contract, guard Justin Pugh is perhaps the most eager to change the narrative from last season.
