“Hey Darren, If I remember correctly, the Cardinals were one of the most penalized offenses in the NFL the last two years. Too often, during the game, they would make a great play, only to have it negated because of a penalty. That is heartbreaking and frustrating to the fans and the team. Coach kept saying, ‘we need to get better’ over and over. Have they addressed that issue? I’ve never read anything, anywhere, about Cardinals working on that issue. That’s been my concern all year, not about them getting new uniforms, Kyler’s studying habits, or if Hopkins is going to attend more practices.”
You are correct in that the Cardinals were fourth in the league in penalties last season and had the most penalties in 2020. Do they want to get better? Yes. They had two last week in the preseason opener, and against the Ravens had five penalties, which wasn’t too bad. But yes, they work on the issue. They did the last two years too. Doesn’t mean it’ll always translate. No team should be committing pre-snap penalties. The other ones, it happens.
