Drew Petzing, the offensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals, offered a self-assessment of his performance after the team's recent struggles in Green Bay. In his weekly Tuesday briefing, Petzing acknowledged that his playcalling has been inconsistent over the first six games of the season.

"I think it's been a little inconsistent," Petzing stated. "That's the key. I'm always going to say my playcalling is how we roll as an offense. So when we are rolling I take a lot of pride in that. I also have to give a lot of credit to the players and their execution."

He added, "When we're not, I have to look at myself and say, 'What can we do better?' As you look throughout our first six games, I think we have to clean up the inconsistency, and that starts with me as a playcaller."

The Cardinals had success early in the season by scoring touchdowns on their opening drives in each of their first five games. This performance earned Petzing praise from both local and national observers. However, over the last four games, generating offense and scoring points has proven more challenging for the team.

In terms of statistics, the Cardinals rank 10th in the NFL in yards per play, 15th in yards per game, seventh in rushing yards per game, 15th in third-down conversions, 13th in red-zone efficiency, and 17th in scoring.

Petzing prefers not to delve into specifics regarding strategic details but shared his general approach: "I'd like every play to work," he said. "That's certainly one of my goals. But at the end of the day, I think there are areas where, 'Hey I could be a little bit better here or a little more consistent there.'"
