James Conner & Trey Benson averaged 4.6 per run in 2024 when Oline wasn't much better (if it was better), then projects now. Shouldn't be reason to not draft Jeremiyah Love. Great backs often make lines look good. Somehow Bijan Robinson rushed for 1,478 with RT Elijah Wilkinson.
I think the #Cardinals are in a very similar spot to where the #Seahawks were in 2023–24, right before the Mike Macdonald hire.
2023 Seahawks
• Disgruntled veteran QB (Geno)
• Bottom-third scoring defense
• Below-average offense (21.4 PPG)
• Young defensive core
• Young offensive pieces
• Cap Space: $7,000,000 (22nd)
2025 Cardinals
• Disgruntled veteran QB (Kyler)
• Bottom-third scoring defense
• Below-average offense (20.9 PPG)
• Young defensive core
• Young offensive pieces
• Cap Space: $30,000,000 (11th)
Seattle’s turnaround took a masterclass in team building, but it ultimately highlighted how critical the head coach hire is when the roster foundation is already in place.
Arizona actually has an advantage in a few areas:
• 3rd overall pick
• Kyler > Geno
• Top-3 TE already on the roster
• $23,000,000 more in Cap
