Cardinals opponent: Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward, “Our offense is playing like ass”

The Arizona Cardinals are in a situation right now where they can right this ship and stop a two-game losing skid, or fall further down the standings in the NFC West Division with another loss.

The good news is that they play arguably the worst team in the NFL in the Tennessee Titans, this weekend at home in the Sunday afternoon game. The bad news? This is the NFL, and every team can take an easy victory away from any club any week, regardless of record.

3 keys to a Cardinals victory over the Titans

After beginning the season with a lot of promise, winning their first two games, the Arizona Cardinals have evened out their record with a pair of losses. Both shortfalls were contests they had, then gave the game away. What hurts even more is the fact that the final two were division games.

Their next opponent is the winless Tennessee Titans, who are 0-4-0 and have scored the fewest points in the league with 51. Currently, the spread favors an Arizona win by 7.5 points. The Titans are viewed as one of the...

Drew Petzing talks offensive struggles and assesses the offense

Happy Thursday one and all.

As a brief aside, I will be out of town this weekend, we should have all the same great game day coverage and post game information, but will be busy if any breaking news comes out that is not during the game or right after.

Yesterday Drew Petzing talked to the media, and it was not exactly what you want to hear at times.

This is not a positive in the sense that you see a lot of people liking what is said, but we also know that NFL teams are going to keep things...

Cardinals running backs are dropping like flies. Can Emari Demercado handle the load?

Cardinals running backs are dropping like flies. Can Emari Demercado handle the load?

The Arizona Cardinals’ offense has been predicated on a good running game. This is OC Drew Petzing’s entire scheme is to dominate the line of scrimmage, run the ball, and control the clock.

So far this season, none of that has happened.

RELATED: TREY BENSON PLACED ON INJURED RESERVE

To dominate the line, the offense must have a line, an offensive line to be exact. So far, the Cardinals’ front five has not been the force needed to sustain a very good rushing attack. Both tackles are doing fairly well, as is center Hjalte Froholdt. But the guards are having...

Trey Benson’s status up in the air for matchup with Titans

Trey Benson’s status up in the air for matchup with Titans

In what has been a rough couple of weeks for the Arizona Cardinals, they may be without their new running back one for their next matchup.

Of course, since it is the Arizona Cardinals under Jonathan Gannon we will not have any information until it is absolutely necessary.

Trey Benson came out of the Cardinals loss to the Seattle Seahawks hurting, and with Michael Carter being signed to the active roster we all thought maybe that was about the James Conner injury, however maybe it had even more to do with Benson’s availability for this upcoming game.

We will keep...

Arizona Cardinals announce plans for new practice facility

It has taken quite a few embarrassing “F’s” from the players, but finally the Arizona Cardinals are getting something done about their practice facilities.

The team announced today they are moving their team facilities to North Phoenix… from the team:

After researching dozens of other sites, one clearly emerged as the optimal location – Paradise Ridge located in North Phoenix, west of Scottsdale Road and north of the Loop 101.

This past summer, the Cardinals – with the assistance of real estate development company Mortenson – purchased the 217-acre property at auction from the Arizona State Land...

What is this “line to gain” crap? Isn’t that just a fancy way of saying “first down?”

What is this “line to gain” crap? Isn’t that just a fancy way of saying “first down?”

In the second quarter of the Arizona Cardinals’ road game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, FOX Sports color analyst Adam Amin stated on a second-down play, “Looking for McBride. He is almost like an extension of the run game as Ji’Ayir Brown brings him down near the line to gain.”

Come again? The what? Line to what? Line to gain?

Didn’t he mean just shy of getting the first down? The first down marker? Just shy of moving the sticks? Of moving the chains?

But that’s not what he said. And that’s not what a lot of...

Has Marvin Harrison, Jr. finally found out how to get out of this funk?

When the Arizona Cardinals selected WR Marvin Harrison, Jr. with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, there were visions of Larry Fitzgerald 2.0 arriving at Tempe, Arizona.

On the offensive side of the ball, the team already had their quarterback in place with Kyler Murray, a stud running back in James Conner, an exceptional pass catching tight end Trey McBride, plus the franchise had spent a high draft pick on improving their offensive line taking OT Paris Johnson in the first round (2023), and had brought in several key rookies in Harrison’s class such as RB Trey...
