The Arizona Cardinals are heading into their fourth preseason game with serious questions hanging over their entire squad, but one unit stands out as a glaring worry after three games. This isn’t just about one guy, this is about a whole team looking shaky.
When Everything Is a Problem, Nothing Is
Forget picking just one problem, because after three preseason games, the Cardinals’ outlook is grim across the board. The offensive line has been straight up struggling to get the run game going in camp, especially against their own defensive front. And on the flip side, that defensive front? Well, outside of Walter Nolen, they haven’t really shown much of anything impressive this preseason. The fan survey over at SB Nation Reacts is clearly picking up on the widespread concern because, honestly, the whole team feels like a question mark.
The Defensive Line’s Dire Situation
But if you absolutely have to pick the biggest headache for this Cardinals squad, it’s gotta be the defensive line. Walter Nolen is the only name getting any kind of positive mention, and even then, there’s a big question mark. We’re talking about a unit where consistency is a pipe dream for most of the guys, and Nolen himself is an unknown variable because he hasn’t had a full season of snaps to prove himself. That’s a shaky foundation to build on, for real.
With their fourth preseason game on deck, the Cardinals have gotta figure out what they’re truly working with on both sides of the ball. Time’s running out for these guys to show they can be consistent, especially on that D-line. What kind of team are we even looking at here when the real action kicks off?
