The Pulse: Linebackers continue to concern the Arizona Cardinals fanbase

May 14, 2015, 8:56 PM | Updated: 8:57 pm

Arizona Cardinals fans had a chance to share their opinions on what position group most concerns them.

With 907 votes in the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, forty-one percent of those polled believe the team’s linebackers are worrisome.

The position has welcomed a few new faces lately, as the Cardinals signed former Chicago Bears linebacker Darryl Sharpton on Wednesday and picked up Shaq Riddick in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Some of fans’ worry may stem from the fact that Riddick will be shifting from a defensive end to an outside linebacker during his transition from college to the pros — but he’s not worried, saying he believes he’s ‘athletic enough’ to do so.

There is good news for the Cardinals organization, too — after years of trouble at the position, only two percent of pollees seem to be concerned about the offensive line.
