BTB: Cowboys at Cardinals: “Nothing has hurt as much as Carson Palmer just hasn’t been good.”

[waving monkey]

s we do every week, it’s time for Five Questions with our sister site of the week. For this game, we speak with Revenge of the Birds for some info on the Cardinals.

Blogging The Boys: With David Johnson out, how have the Cardinals tried to compensate? Who is getting the playing time and how have they done?

Revenge of the Birds: There is no one way, it has truly been a committee. Kerwynn Williams got the first crack and didn’t do much, finishing with just over 2 yards per carry on nine carries. Which gave an opening to Chris Johnson who took it, winning out with 11 carries for 44 yards. It looks like Johnson will get the bulk of the work early, with Andre Ellington being the receiving back. Ellington played the most snaps, 30, but only had two carries and three catches. If you are looking for fantasy advice… don’t play a Cardinals running back. If you are looking for who to watch for, it really will depend on the hot hand. Ellington is the receiving, third down back, but Williams and Johnson will be a wait and see type each week. Arians will go with who is working… And by working I mean who is getting over three yards per carry.

[Carson]

Palmer has been trending down for years. Surprised he's still an average starter. He does have talent at receiver. Hopefully we can get to him and force some picks

Palmer will look like a Hall of Fame Qb against us.

We will. Scandrick, Brown, Lewis and likely Bene

Palmer is not good. However, if you think he can't hit those dink-and-dunkers Trevor Siemian hit last week, you're in for a rude awakening.

 

[Risen Star]

We shall fix that. Our defense is PEDs for QBs.

Not really

Since 2014 we're 12th in the league in QBR against. So in reality we've been above the league average under Marinelli.

I don't believe that for a second.

rat-- i know i am tired of every team getting amped up and play their A games against us...and then they play like crap against other teams..either that or we are taking steps backwards?....all i know is Linehan better use our playmakers more creatively this game instead of our vanilla plays that can be read by a blind man...sorry for the negativity..i am just frustrated

Risen Star--its true...tired of no names having their best games as QB's against us....we dont have the personnnel to run a competent "cover 2"..and how we play way off the receivers almost guaranteeing them a 10-15 yard slant everytime frustrates me

Seems like everyone that plays us, it's like their Super Bowl. We have to come out of the gate sharp and firing in all cylinders. No more of these sluggish starts!!.

Isn’t brown out for this game?

 

[Nova]

I'm sure we'll play extremely soft coverage and let him get into a rhythm early.

 

[Carson]

Isn’t brown out for this game?

Yes.

 

[Cowfan75]

Hoping that we don't have to hear all week about how Carson has "finally regained form" after this game. The media hasn't yet grasped that our defense can make the mediocre look pretty darn good with 7-yard cushions.

Carson "Joe Montana" Palmer... one night only!

The Cowboys will bounce back against the Cardinals and defeat them. There is no option. They will be ready to play.
