Guessing the Cardinals' 48 active players Week 1 at Chargers


By Walter Mitchell

Key Game-Day Roster Rules

  • The 48-Player Cap: If a team has at least 8 offensive linemen active, they can dress up to 48 players from their 53-man roster.
  • The 47-Player Limit: If a team has fewer than 8 active offensive linemen, the maximum number of active players drops to 47.
  • Inactive Players: Any player on the 53-man roster who is not included on the active list is designated as inactive for that game.

  Drew Petzing Deserves More Praise Than Derision                                       image courtesy of @azcardinals.com By Walter Mitchell On X yesterday, there was this chance for Cardinals' fans to grade Jonathan Gannon, Drew Petzing and Nick Rallis thanks to @BirdmanofAZ. Bird Droppings @BirdmanofAZ Bye week report card.......coaching staff Jonathan Gannon ________ Drew Petzing ________ Nick Rallis ________ Here are the average results thus far of the fans' grades: Jonathan Gannon: D Drew Petzing: F Nick Rallis: C Why is it that Drew Petzing has drawn such abject scorn from Cardinals' fans? Going back to last year, the PHNX Cardinals media site has been waging a daily campaign to see Drew Petzing get fired, that is if he can't coach up a weekly magical connection between Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. This season, in light of Kyler Murray's inconsistencies and Marvin Harriso...

 By Walter Mitchell Talk about a player who is fired up about his teammates, new coaches and the Arizona community, Paris Johnson Jr., in his interview with Bo Brack and Johnny Venerable on the PHNX Cardinals Podcast, lit the match to a blowtorch of jalapeno-hot takes about the 2026 Arizona Cardinals.

He's psyched t...

 A Hooray Day that has Cardinals' Players Celebrating By Walter Mitchell The fortunes of the 2026 Arizona Cardinals took a dramatic turn on the first day of legal tampering when the wishes of the Cardinals' players came true and not those of the ill-advised team's pundits and fans. Here is the mood of the Cardinals' players this morning, as manifested by one of their impressive new additions, WR Kendrick Bourne: https://x.com/i/status/2031209111132537036 While Cardinals' pundits and fans for weeks tried to drum up obsessive interest in the Cardinals signing QB Malik Willis to what amounted to be a 3-year, $76M contract with $45M guaranteed --- Monti Ossenfort and new head coach Mike LaFleur were listening --- not to the fans --- not to the petulant pundits --- not to Matt LaFleur --- they were listening to their players, instead.  BC @az_blitz · 13h Replying to @WBJMItch It’s never been more over Walt. Worst QB room in the NFL by a mile. And they’ve wasted the rooki...
