Been to Mobile it's pretty decent coastal town...unlike the Cardinals, just putrid. Another team wrecked by a failed Pats backup QB. ...He did get a SB ring..seriously.

Murray's last drive-
1st down sacked for -1.
2nd down incomplete pass
3rd down sacked for -9 yards and a safety
So AZ decides to sit him for the night after the stellar performance.
To make matters worse his replacement throw his first pass for 40 yards.
Then 2nd stringer Hundley
Goes 4 for 5 for 49 yards and a TD pass.

Wikipedia says Patrick Ricard is 6'3 311 pound fullback/defensive end. Is that accurate?!?!?!

Believe he's a local kid. Think I had him graded as a late rd take your pick a few years ago

Was that before or after his f*a*g*g*o*t comments on twitter emerged?

I usually always grade last minute for crazy **** like that coming out but truthfully he was always a "take a shot" type pick.

Wow the refs are ****ed. A washington football team receiver got called for OPI when the DB wasn't looking for the ball and the receiver tried to jump over top of him to catch the underthrown ball. Jay Gruden challenges it, and the ruling stands! What an idiot head ref.

Play at 45 might have been his best of the night. Vg pocket movement, eyes downfield, delivered a dime on the move.

Could be an option for a CB trade. Peterson is already suspended for six weeks, so that’s both Cardinals starters gone for some amount of time now.

Elijah said:

Makes me wonder if maybe he should play the first half of week 3 so we know how he does against the closest thing the preseason offers to real starters playing hard.

That might be fun for us fans, but it doesn't really fulfill any need of the coaching staff at this point. He's on the team for the next couple of years as an understudy.

So we shall see some posts on trading Larry Fitzgerald for one of our CB's soon

I only watched the highlights of the Cardinals game but it was a case of welcome to the NFL for Murray!.....its not going to be easy. However when he was flushed from the pocket you can't help but think he is an exciting player and something will happen. On the negative side I hope that was the 3rd or 2nd string offensive line he was playing behind !

Is it me or are people overreacting to the Haskins pass. I only saw it once... it looked like he threw up a prayer to someone who wasn’t open, but the defender fell down. It wasn’t like he threw the guy open

Edit: okay defender didn’t fall down, but he did stumble a bit/maybe got caught flat footed. The throw did travel in the air longer than I originally thought which was impressive considering he took pressure. Need to see the coaches cam to see what Haskins saw/what defender did

I don't think I agree with the "coaches don't actually find value in preseason games" school of thought. We've seen many position battles either unfold or reveal their results through the preseason.

Duke Dawson trade to Arizona or Baltimore who just lost Young for the year calling it.
Any Tight Ends worth poaching.

Jets look good. Cant take them lightly this season, especially since the Pats play them early and often.

I caught a few minutes of it, but mistook it for a bad movie from the 80's with Gary Coleman playing QB.

Will take lightly. The year Cleveland went 0-16, they were 4-0 preseason. Not saying Jets will be awful, but I’ll reserve judgement.

QB watch:

Finley= impressive
Haskins-BUST
Murray-too small

Washington is in trouble, Haskins looks awful, but man those Alabama kids on the D line are great.

I’m in DC so I get the skins ravens and the BSPN game which is unlistenable with Booger

Crazy that our 4th round QB Stidham looks better then 2 first round QBs Murray and Haskins so far.
