Through two early weeks, the Arizona Cardinals face a persistent run-blocking problem that hampers the offense and timing with the passing game. The issue shows in a 0.6 yards per attempt before contact and a 24th-ranked run-block win rate, highlighting limited push in the trenches. Coaches flag the need for better play-calling balance and scheme adjustments, especially in a ‘Cam Package’ approach, while personnel constraints limit dramatic fixes. The team remains hopeful, with capable runners and a diversified passing attack, but must improve front-line blocking to regain efficiency and control. The next test arrives against the 49ers, with progress tied to both play design and frontline execution.
