Today was a bad day for the Raiders if their goal is to get the highest pick they can in the 2019 NFL draft
Youth David Johnson Jersey , and a good day if they actually want to play winning football.The Raiders, who had the worst record in the NFL heading into
today’s game, beat the Cardinals 23-21 on a last-second field goal. That result
leaves both the Raiders and the Cardinals at 2-8 on the season. The 49ers are
also 2-8, and all three teams are now tied for the worst record in the NFL. (The
tiebreaker is strength of schedule, which can’t be calculated until the end of
the season.)As for today’s game in Arizona, the most interesting development was
the sideline spat between Raiders coach Jon Gruden and quarterback Derek Carr.
The two of them do not seem to be seeing eye to eye, but Carr nonetheless
marched the Raiders’ offense down the field and into field goal range at the end
of the game. It was a solid effort from Carr, despite some game management
mistakes that drew Gruden’s ire.Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen did
throw three touchdown passes
Larry Fitzgerald Jersey , but he had a mostly ugly game, completing just nine of 20 passes for 136 yards, with two interceptions. Rosen has shown
flashes, but he has a long way to go.Both of these teams have a long way to go.
One of them might have the first pick in the draft to help them get
there.Arizona Cardinals have worst offensive line in NFL per PFF Through three
weeks of the 2018 NFL season, it has not been pretty for the Arizona
Cardinals.One of the main reasons, at least to the folks over at Pro Football
Focus, is the fact that the Arizona Cardinals offensive line is the worst in the
NFL.From Mike Renner of PFF:This is an issue for the Cardinals as their starting
offensive line has grades as follows:Left Tackle: D.J. Humphries, 58.0Left
Guard: Mike Iupati
Authentic Patrick Peterson Jersey , 46.7Center: Mason Cole, 50.7Right Guard: Justin Pugh, 51.3Right Tackle: John Wetzel, 63.7Wetzel’s grade obviously is not
as complete as the other four, but his play has been the best thus far, but he
had his worst game last week against against Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks, who
were both scary.The lack of high level play from the offensive line is likely
two-fold.The Cardinals have been playing from behind quite a bit, meaning they
are having to throw the ball
Youth Robert Nkemdiche Jersey , with an immobile quarterback and an admittedly bad pass protecting line.The interior has really, really struggled,
make life harder on the edge blockers.Will we see an uptick in offensive line
play with the switch at quarterback, or is this likely to cause problems for
Josh Rosen early in his career?
