Wk 3 of the preseason. (News without the twitter links). 08/19/24-08/25/24

[ASUCHRIS]

"This team is still a couple of edge rushers short of being able to challenge for above-average status"

"If they can protect Murray and the defense does take a step forward, they could find themselves on the fringes of the wild-card race in the NFC."

So maddening.

Carter and Garrett both played in the UFL this year. Neither has much NFL experience.

:championship:

 

[Harry]

Cutting him over Demarcado would be foolish.

Carter is the better runner but Demarcado is far better at protecting the QB. With Benson & Carter in the group Demarcado has the most unique role.

Carter is the better runner but Demarcado is far better at protecting the QB. With Benson & Carter in the group Demarcado has the most unique role.

But Carter offers the most change of pace. Connor, Benson and Demercado are all big backs. All 215-220lb guys with similar styles.

Carter is the only guy there that offers something clearly different in style of play.

 

[DVontel]

Carter is a better runner than Demarcado, but I think you guys are clearly underestimating how important pass-protection is from your RB. Not only does it protect your QB, it makes your play-calling more unpredictable as a whole.

Yeah but if you choose to run the ball with the good pass protector who sucks at running, the play isn't going to do well.

Demercardo doesn’t suck at running though. He’s just not better than Carter at it.

 

[DVontel]

Demercardo also had to go against more good defenses than Carter while Carter only played with a much better rushing/overall threat in Kyler than Dobbs

The BIG MAN gets paid! The Arizona Cardinals have announced that starting center Hjalte Froholdt has agreed to a two-year contract extension through the 2026 season. #BirdGang #azcardinals #arizonacardinals #cards

By the time the 2023 season ended, however, Froholdt had turned into the anchor in the middle and a key part of the offensive line. So it came as little surprise Wednesday morning when Froholdt -- who had been headed into his contract year -- signed a two-year extension with the Cardinals through the 2026 season. NFL.com reported it is worth $8 million in guarantees.

This! Let the rusher come free and dump the ball to Carter in the flat. His footwork is unbelievable in the open field.

Defenses will adjust to that lol

 

[daves]

Yeah but if you choose to run the ball with the good pass protector who sucks at running, the play isn't going to do well.

In his limited opportunities (58 rushes, 30 targets), Demercado by no means "sucked at running" (4.9 yards per rush, 21 catches @ 5.7 yards per reception).

Carter, in only 22 attempts with Arizona, had an awesome 6.8 y/r... But his career average is 4.2 y/rush and 7.1 y/rec.

It appears we might not have to “ let” them come in free…

Benson is faster than Carter.... thats what makes him good... Connors power...Carters speed...single package. He opens up the play book.

There's still plenty of roster decisions hanging in the balance for the Arizona Cardinals, making this week's game against Denver an important one:"There's going to be a lot of guys playing and they're playing for a reason," Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday.

Conner
Carter
Benson
Demercardo

That’s the RB room in no order. I’m good with it.
