Cardinals’ Inexcusable Defensive Effort (Taking It Personally)

To the Cardinals’ fans and critics who insist the Cardinals’ defensive woes during Sunday’s 38-20 loss to the Panthers are due to a lack of talent and “too many holes”—-I beg to differ.

Some people keep pointing to the absence of CBs Patrick Peterson and Robert Alford as one of the main reasons why the Cardinals are giving up 29.3 points per game—-but, the Cardinals have a enough talent on defense to be playing better—-what they lack is discipline, proper coaching and sheer will.

For the Cardinals’ defense to lay down the way they did versus the Panthers at home before a super hyped up crowd while being spotted to three leads in the game was totally inexcusable.
