Last season the Arizona Cardinals showed a willingness to run the football. They ranked 10th in the league with 2,076 rushing yards and 7th in rush attempts (496). The efficiency was inconsistent as they ranked 22nd in ypc, 4.3.
This rushing attack lacked explosiveness to generate big plays. Arizona has only 13 total runs over 20-plus yards. This must improve heading into the 2022 season.
Losing Chase Edmonds placed running back on the radar for needs to address this off-season. They decided to re-sign James Conner as the lead back of the backfield. In the 6th round of last month’s NFL draft, the Cardinals selected USC RB Keaontay Ingram.
