Might have been a tough decision to let the young DE go
Per ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss:
As we outlined during the bubble talks, Ben Stille made a very strong 53-man roster case for the Cardinals, particularly in the way he stuffed the run at the line of scrimmage. All 5 of his solo tackles were stops. He also added 3 assists and 3 QB pressures, for a pre-season PFF grade of 66.5.
Other pre-season Cardinals’ DI:
- Naquan Jones —- MIA PS
- Phil Hoskins —- DAL PS
- Myles Murphy —- CIN PS
The Cardinals’ run defense this pre-season was ranked 10th in the NFL, per PFF.
DI P.J. Mustipher was added to the Cardinals’ PS last week. Now the team needs a replacement for Ben Stille.
Interesting that the Cardinals’ defensive line depth has been this attractive to other teams.
