re: Cardinals 20 @ Saints 13 Final - CBS

Same ol Johnson.
Big mistakes.
Big drops.
Always with the game on the line.

If rattler is forced to air it out he will 100% throw a pick

How many did he throw today?

quote:

---

Cardinals dropped 4 INTs.

So Rattler threw 0.

Correct. Lucked out this time. Your point? Are you claiming Rattler was good or just being pedantic?

---

He threw 2 dropped TDs. You want to count fictional INTs but not fictional TDs?

Ol Daryl in here with another terrible take

I speak facts, y’all just don’t like it because Kamara is loyal. He’s a solid player and does some things really well. I just would like someone back there with more juice. It doesn’t have to be a Kamara replacement but we could definitely upgrade the position.

What these show is:

Our most used offensive formation by far was 3 WR, 1 TE, and 1 HB, with a small amount of 2 WR, 2 TE, and 1 HB.

Our defense was pretty evenly split between playing base 3-4 and Nickel with a 3rd corner.

Yeah Asim had the penalty and I think was the one that gave up the sack, but that was when he first came in and settled down after that. Radunz played better but not great. Ruiz wasn't terrible outside of the penalties (which were terrible).

Yiadom played better than Kool-Aid tbh, which I was half expecting. They kept talking about how Kool-Aid was going to follow Harrison every play but he definitely did not as Yiadom was on him a lot and did a better job shutting him down (almost every good Harrison play came against Kool-Aid).

As of now Yiadom is definitely our number 1, even if we don't play him as such, but they still isn't a great thing because he is a far better number 2, while Kool-Aid still needs to grow.

Well Blackmon is done for the year, so whatever my thoughts are won't matter on him anyway. He was late on a deep ball to Harrison as Kool-Aid and Harrison ran right by him (think he was hawking a shorter route and lost track). Otherwise he didn't stand out as bad, made a few plays, but was mostly quiet it seemed.

Reid looks like more of a play maker, but he missed a couple of tackles iirc (which doesn't surprise me as he isn't that BIG safety type, but has decent size).

They seemed to mostly keep things in check as a pair, but now we'll have to see who steps up to replace Blackmon.

Werner was in on things, especially in coverage, but didn't really do anything bad nor good to stand out. They started using him to spy more the keep Murray in check, so I guess the good part of that was Murray did less as the game went on, so in that aspect he was very helpful.

Gotta be careful with the pff passes completed against because they are often wrong as they don't know the coverage most of the time. I would say at least 3 of those passes were checkdowns that he then stopped short.

I know one pass was against McBride though, as well as 1 missed tackle. Not sure where the second missed tackle was but it may have been on a Murray scramble.
