The Arizona Cardinals Have to Run the Ball Better

When talking about the Arizona Cardinals offense, the image that comes to mind is one of high scores and deep passes. They’ve been in the top ten in passing yards for the past two seasons, and inside the top 14 in each of the last four years. Head coach Bruce Arians likes to push the ball down the field, and has continued to add speedy receivers to that end.

In 2016, the Cardinals were ninth in the NFL in passing yards and third in passing attempts. This sounds like a good thing, especially factoring in the fact that they were also ninth in total offense.
