Cardinals roster cuts reactions, injuries of note

This was, it was, I'd say there were some mild surprises, not too many surprises, honestly, based on what we saw in the preseason.

Yeah, I mean, you see how things broke down, you saw what happened, and the reality has become that this team is very front-loaded.

And we've talked about that.

There's not a ton of interest in terms of depth, right? we did have some questions and i don't know if we necessarily necessarily agree with the answers i've never seen a successful roster with seven wide receivers on it and

yeah i was certain that they would probably not end up being the case and it might not end up being the case ultimately i mean

it's definitely not right there's no way it can be but To start that way is very odd.

Would you not agree?

I thought that there would be some other moves coming, I thought.

Now, sometimes you'll overload a position because there's an injury that you – because the Cardinals used – James Conner and Zach Carter as they're too eligible to return injured reserve guys without having to be on the roster.

And then anyone else that they wanted to do that to would have to be on the roster for at least a day.

And sometimes you'll overload a position because of that.

But no, they just kept everyone.

They kept everyone.

Well, and so to your point, Jess, I always wonder.

So you see something like this, right? You see Marvin Harrison, Kendrick Bourne, Michael Wilson.

Those were unquestionable.

There was never a question those three were on the roster.

After that, it felt very strongly that Simi Fajoko was – the guy he had a great preseason he's a veteran special teams guy like he's done it all Devin DuVernay seemed like a lock just for his special teams use he's still listed as both the kick and punt returner that's that's his role so it really came down to you know are they going to keep Jalen Brooks are they going to keep Reggie Virgil they kept both and so to your point is that just a precursor to one of them being released and put on the practice squad once practice squads are kind of filled up, right? Like that's kind of a – so the question becomes, you know, how will that play out? But for now, it just – the roster as constructed – is, like we said, very, I mean, you look at the names outside of the defense, because Nick Rallis apparently doesn't make decisions.

I don't know.

But you look at the, you know, the first offense, you feel fairly confident.

I won't say you're like, oh, this is this can be a top 10 offense in the NFL.

But you look at it, you say, hey, these are guys that you're confident can lead to a successful offense in the NFL, right?

Yeah, largely is, is, you know, quarterback position, health of the offensive line, but they, they, that should get production.

They should be at least above average offensively.

Right.
