a good defense??!
Last year they allowed the 6th-most points per game, and the year before that they were the worst. Boldin and Fitzgerald racked up their yards because Arizona was always desperately playing from behind.
as for Edge, he relies on power, vision and open running lanes to gain consistent yardage. Arizona's line is a far cry from what he's used to. He can't turn the corner as well since he blew out his knee in 2001, as he no longer has his explosiveness.
Arizona's offensive line blows and allowed 45 sacks last year. Dennis Green should have worked on improving it instead of going after big name players. Although there's hope, when he was w/ Minnesota he did produce a fairly strong RB rotation, and Boldin and Fitzgerald are STUDS, both awesoem receivers and able to take a beating which is necessary in this offense where they will have to go across the middle quite a bit.
