What is the status of the Cardinals’ offensive line?

Barry Shuck analyzes the Arizona Cardinals' rebuilt offensive line, concluding that poor run blocking remains the unit's primary challenge three games into the season. Left tackle Paris Johnson leads the group with an 80.8 PFF grade, while center Hjalte Froholdt continues his streak of never missing a snap since joining in 2023. However, free-agent additions Isaac Seumalo and Elijah Wilkinson have recorded low run-blocking marks of 46.1 and 52.4, respectively.

Shuck emphasizes that head coach Mike LaFleur's offensive scheme requires an effective running game to control possession and finish scoring drives. Arizona currently ranks 24th in run-block win rate and averages under 95 rushing yards per game, with ESPN metrics indicating no Cardinals lineman ranks in the top 20 for pass-block win rate or top 10 for run-block win rate.
