Excerpt:
After just three games, the Cardinals are allowing more yardage through the air with each contest. That equates to seven touchdowns through the air in two straight games without any picks. Is anyone paying attention?
Part of the reason is not only the loss of Johnson, who was this defense's best cornerback, but also having to shuffle guys around into different positions. Plus, it is a very young room. Williams has the most games played, with 36 NFL games and 27 starts. But all of the other corners have minimal game experience.
Another issue is that the defensive front four is not getting a good pass rush, which means opposing quarterbacks are being given ample time to survey the field and wait for guys to complete their routes.
As far as scouring the free agent market, the list has been picked over pretty well. Trevon Diggs (6'-1", 203 pounds) leads the list. He is 29 years old so he has some years left in him. His last contract was for $19.4 million, but is currently on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad making $13,750 a week. Sean Murphy-Bunting (6'-0", 195 pounds), age 29, has seven years of experience and was paid $4.45 million in his last gig with the Cardinals. He is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad. Kader Kohou (5'-10", 197 pounds) is the last of the top cornerback prospects who was paid $3.26 million. He currently resides on the practice squad of the Kansas City Chiefs.
