Demarcus Lawrence

The Cardinals offensive line has demonstrated they have a tough time in pass protection. This is not good news for Cardinals fans on Monday night.

Hopefully Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer is getting a good night sleep Sunday night. He may get hit a number of times on Monday.

Cowboys defensive end Lawrence already has 12 tackles and 3.5 sacks in the first two weeks of the season. With left tackle D.J. Humphries out again this week, it could be a long night for the Cardinals offensive line trying to protect Palmer.

Guys like right tackle Jared Veldheer are going to have to step up their game. He has not looked good in the first two weeks of the season. With his almost leaving the team and retiring during training camp, you have to wonder about his motivation.

Hopefully the line can come together and keep Palmer upright the entire evening. With Lawrence coming at them, it is easier said than done.
