Here are three things we learned in the Arizona Cardinals 27-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.The Arizona Cardinals run defense is the worst in the NFL.This isn’t that shocking based on the stats www.cardinalsauthorizedshops.com , but the performance today was beyond comprehension.The Minnesota Vikings came into the game with the 31st ranked run offense in the NFL. They not only didn’t run the ball well, they didn’t even try and run the football. Yet, against the Arizona Cardinals, they were able to change their mind set and the way they run their offense. They carried the ball 32 times, coming into the game they had run the ball only 96 times.The Vikings had 329 yards rushing on the season, they had 195 yards in this game.The Vikings were an awful running team, they completely ran over the Cardinals. This is a coaching issue as much as a player issue.2. The Arizona Cardinals rushing offense is the worst in the NFL.You know how to compound a bad thing and make it worse? That is what is happening with the Arizona Cardinals. They have the worst run defense in the NFL, they also have the worst run offense in the NFL. Those two things combined cause the opposing teams to 100% control the clock. You know what that means? That the only way the Arizona Cardinals have a chance each and every game is on the shoulder of their rookie quarterback, with no help from a running game, with a bad offensive line and a coach who wants to be conservative. This is a recipe to be among the worst teams in the NFL.3. The Arizona Cardinals have no identityWho are the 2018 Arizona Cardinals? What is their identity and what type of team do they aspire to be?They said they wanted to be a team built on running the ball and stopping the run on defense. Well, we know that’s not going to happen in 2018.So, do Steve Wilks and company have something they can hang their hat on? Do they have an identity or are they a team lost, adrift and hopeless for this year?Through six games Arizona Cardinals Womens T-Shirt , it seems the latter much more than the former.Bird Droppings: Josh Rosen should be ready for Cowboys, Larry Fitzgerald learns another new offense, and more Happy Friday one and all, we have made it.The Arizona Cardinals are heading to Dallas tomorrow to get ready for the third preseason game, the tuneup to the regular season if you will.That means, we get the starters for a bit more of the game, well the ones that are healthy, for the Cardinals, against... something resembling the Dallas Cowboys.To help us get ready, we have a look around the web on the Arizona Cardinals.Despite Hand Injury, Josh Rosen Expected To Play Against CowboysNotes: Important game for veteran wideouts; kicker battle continuesMore Zone Could Lead To Picks For Cardinals LinebackersHaason Reddick struck first in second preseason gameLarry Fitzgerald Transitions Again To New OffenseNotes: Veteran ready for end of camp; Defense works on run defenseSam Bradford can't be kept any cleaner in the pocketArizona Cardinals Home: The official source of the latest Cardinals headlines, news, videos Arizona Cardinals Hats , photos, tickets, rosters and game day informationFitzgerald - 'We Can Attack You From A Lot Of Different Places'WR Larry Fitzgerald talks to the media about David Johnson's return this season, rookie WR Christian Kirk, and the new offense.Peterson - 'I Love This Defense'CB Patrick Peterson talks with the media on what he has seen from the defense so far.Cardinals eye Cowboys with nicks to Josh Rosen, defensive lineCardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen is day-to-day with a thumb injury as Arizona's Sunday Night Football game against the Dallas Cowboys looms.Andy on the Street: Fans try to name that Arizona Cardinals rookie98.7 FM Arizona's Sports Station's Andy Greenberg and Liz Rehling set out to learn how well Arizona Cardinals fans could identify the team's rookies.No matter who's in, Cardinals focus on self-improvement vs. CowboysFor a matchup on Sunday Night Football against the Cowboys, the Cardinals are focusing on fixing the fundamental flaws from their win over the Saints.'Complementary' Cardinals defense can help Patrick Peterson now, laterFor Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, a more zone-oriented defense is a nice change-up that could help him get in on more big plays -- and add longevity to his career.Arizona Cardinals countdown: Remembering No. 17 Jim HartHe was arguably the best quarterback in team history.
