This game is as much on Carson Beck as it is Mike Lafleur. We seen coaches across the league scheme up their best player to have huge production even when teams look to double them. Sean Mcvay with Puka for example. Mike Lafleur needs show that he can use scheme to combat what defenses are going to be throwing at Trey McBride and crew and not let them just take away our best player.
Working on Marvin Harrison Jr. cut-up now, he looks fast. He's also a pretty damn good and willing blocker.
I come away more impressed with his tape every week. He's an incredibly polished receiver, and there's so much detail in his route running. He's difficult to press, knows how to use his hands, and rarely gets knocked off his landmarks.
Feels like every offensive player coming out of Ohio State under Ryan Day is just so technically refined and well-coached.
Been very impressed by the separation of Marvin Harrison Jr. in the routes he has gotten.
Very clean route to the top of the screen that would have been a TD if Stroud looked that way.
Goes to Collins instead who makes an incredible catch.
Man I wish I could be happy about Carson Beck starting but he’s gonna be playing with practice squad WRs and traffic cones at OL. Might be a tough watch on Sunday
Barring significant development from young pieces over the next two months, the Cardinals will likely need new starters at the following spots this offseason:
QB, 2 WRs, RT, Edge, ILB, Safety
Some major challenges for Monti Ossenfort to solve, and at premium positions too.
Raiders running laps around Arizona right now. Draft a rookie and sign a QB to start until he’s ready and then flip that QB for a 3rd rounder. Also get Mendoza live reps at the end of games that are already over. Meanwhile the cardinals refused to make Beck active all year and are hell bent on keeping a safety at the end of his prime who wants to go win rather than getting a really good day 2 pick. If budda said he wants to stay then absolutely keep him but listen to his interviews about wanting to win and that ain’t happening here right now.
People think Kyler is going to have a Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold or Daniel jones career resurgence when he leaves but he will actually have the same career arc as Russell Wilson post Seattle.
CB Kalen King officially moves above Garrett Williams on the depth chart.
Obvious changes to the WR and QB position rooms after a slew of offensive injuries as of late.
