Arizona Cardinals: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#21)

Last week: 16 (-5)

Record: 4-2

It was also a matter time before Kevin Kolb broke. An injury prone behind that offensive line with an offense that passes that often, it was inevitable. Fun fact about that offensive line (or not so fun if you’re a Cardinals fan): offensive tackles D’Anthony Baptiste and Bobby Massie have combined to surrender 19 sacks this year. No other team’s offensive tackles have surrendered more than 8 combined. They’ve each down that individually. Those two combined with right guard Adam Snyder give them 3 starting offensive lineman ranked worst at their position by ProFootballFocus.

It might sound weird to say, but they will miss Kevin Kolb when it’s out. He was the superior quarterback last year in turns of yards per drive, but only had a worse record than Skelton because of tougher competition and inferior defensive play supporting him. This year, he did a decent job of keeping things together despite little supporting cast, better than Skelton would have done. Oh, and those idiots who put Arizona 1st in their Power Rankings (like Michael Silver) when they were 3-0 or 4-0 are frantically trying to delete every trace of those articles. Yeah, because Kevin Kolb was going to win the Super Bowl…
