Special Teams (3)

K: Zane Gonzalez

P: Andy Lee

LS: Aaron Brewer

Cut: Ryan Winslow

This group does not change from 2019.  Don’t be surprised if the Cardinals add Ryan Winslow to the practice squad however.

If the Cardinals didn’t have a guy named Andy Lee on the roster, Winslow easily makes the team.  Zane Gonzalez has had a season plus with the Cardinals after joining in 2018.  Brewer will already be going into his fifth season with the team as the long snapper.

Gonzalez settled down from early career jitters and had a very good season in 2019.  He hit 31-35 field goals and 34-35 extra points.

Unfortunately a lot of those 35 attempts could have been Cardinals touchdowns.  However it is nice to know the Cardinals have a kicker on the roster that possesses the leg and accuracy he does.

Lee comes into his 17th season out of Pittsburgh, just like Larry Fitzgerald.  They don’t come as steady and consistent as him.
