The Arizona Cardinals new signing Josh Sweat is in the top 100 players in the NFL.
Happy Wednesday one and all.
With the Fourth of July just two days away, we are in the dead time, and that means not a lot of information coming out.
However, the NFL is slow rolling their top 100 players of the 2025 and an Arizona Cardinals player is on it... Sort of.
From X:
So yes, Josh Sweat is an Arizona Cardinal, and so he goes on the list for now as a Cardinals player, but he has not played for Arizona yet....

How do the Cardinals stack up on the defensive line this season?
Having taken an in-depth look at the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line talent and how they compare in 2025 to the other offensive lines in the NFC West, today we take a close look at how the Cardinals’ 2025 defensive line compares (on paper) to the Rams’, 49ers’ and Seahawks”.
We are going to treat this as the top 5 defensive linemen on each squad, and rank them, for discussion points, based on their 2024 PFF grades.

How does the Cardinals’ offensive line stack up against their division rivals?
As is a yearly tradition here at ROTB, we compare the Cardinals’ projected starters on the offensive line to those of the Rams. 49ers and Seahawks. Typically, heading into training camp the Cardinals’ offensive line has gotten little love from NFL pundits.
This year —- there has been a change in point of view, according to 10-year NFL scout, Scott Barrett!

The Arizona Cardinals left tackle has all the makings of being a superstar.
Happy Friday one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals have spent the last couple of seasons trying to replenish the talent along the offensive line, and in doing so GM Monti Ossenfort made Paris Johnson Jr. his first pick of his regime.
Well, he so far has hit a home run with that pick, as PFF ranked the best offensive tackles in the NFL and Johnson Jr. in only two seasons is ranked top 15.

Will Budda’s teammates consistently have Budda’s back?
Yesterday, ESPN’s Mina Kimes conducted a fascinating session with the Arizona Cardinals’ “red dot” defender, Budda Baker. To see and hear what “red dot” means, check this out:
Here’s the entire video:
Commentary:
Being the Cardinals’ red dot (most targeted) defender is nothing new for Budda Baker. Back in 2021, when Budda was voted the 19th best player in the NFL by his peers, the common themes among his offensive opponents were:

The Cardinals need to improve on the field to get the grade up.
Happy Thursday one and all.
Yesterday we looked at the PFF rankings of the defensive line units in the NFL and how much on paper, the Arizona Cardinals have improved.
Today they looked at the linebacker units, and while the Cardinals have invested, it wasn’t heavy like with the defensive line in terms of money or high level picks.
So, that could explain why they are still so low in the overall rankings.
From PFF:
29. Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals have invested a plethora...

Rabbit explains how the players are learning with and from one another
Thanks to Johnny Venerable and Bo Brack at PHNX for posting these highlights of Cardinals’ 2nd-year safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson’s recent press conference.
Here is Rabbit’s complete presser:
It was fascinating to learn how Rabbit first sits with Garrett Williams in meetings in order to coordinate their versatile roles —- and then Rabbit spends the rest of his meetings with Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson and all of the team’s safeties.
The most special part of what Rabbit had to say was how all of the members of the team’s...

An offseason of moves helps the Cardinals climb the PFF defensive line rankings.
Happy Wednesday one and all.
On paper there may not be a more improved unit in the NFL than the Arizona Cardinals defensive line.
So, when PFF dropped their 2025 preseason defensive line rankings, it was nice to see the Cardinals moving up.
Not even cracking into the teens yet, but much better.
From PFF:

The Cardinals’ defensive line might be the most improved unit over the past eight months — including the mid-season acquisition of edge defender Baron Browning. Arizona...
