Opponent update : Cardinals

[IllegalContact]

Carson Palmer done for day after two picks, hit to head

Palmer has looked horrible

 

[VectorPrime]

Defense is gonna need to give Jimmy a lot of short fields. Do that and we have a shot.

 

[Froob]

I watched Palmer today, have to agree he didn't look super impressive. The Brockweiler on the other hand, looks like a starter. He really has hell of an arm.

 

[Wheelman]

That rookie receiver of the texans looks good going down the field. Albeit against backup DB's of the cardinals I'm assuming?

Really? I watched Osweiller play like Fitzpatrick with 3 deep shots down field. And a few of those dump offs were poorly thrown for only being a few yards past the LOS.

Fair credit though, his deep throws were accurate, thought the 2nd could have had a little more air on it for it to be uncontested instead of a drop/pbu.

I just haven't seen a 17m QB yet.

The Cardinals are who we THOUGHT they were ... now if you want to crown them, then crown their ass, but the Cardinals are who we THOUGHT they were.

Carson Palmer is an average QB in a good system. Against good teams he folds like a lawn chair.

 

[VectorPrime]

If we can win week 1 in Arizona I think that takes a HUGE amount of the pressure off both Jimmy and the team as a whole. It basically guarantees a good month.

Problem is Rex usually gives Pats fits with his Defense.....Blitz pkgs may rattle JG ......Glad it's a home game........ Have to hope D can get some points for him.......Until I see a good outing against the Gints, I have trepidations.....

Lets face it. The first four weeks will not be easy. They will be grind-it-out affairs. 24-20, 21-10, 17-13 games...

 

[Joey007]

You wonder if he will get Jake Delhomme syndrome..

Yeah, pretty much agree with this. They'd only have to grab one of the next three for 2-2, so yeah.

[SVN]

i think arizona defense will give us some problems as well..its not easy being the road team on SNF on opening day

Agree. I've been saying this since I joined this forum. It's not hard to confuse Palmer.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Mike Jenkins looks like he's done for the year. Carted off after what looked like a pretty bad non-contact knee injury. That's a significant blow to the Cardinals' CB depth.

Palmer is plenty beatable, he doesn't worry me nearly as much as a QB with his stats usually would. He's prone to imploding when you confuse him. Saw it in the NFCCG, and we can do that to him too. All the better if his confidence is tanked going into week 1 because of today's performance.

It's David Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald that scare me, not so much Palmer.

i kind of laughed during the broadcast when the announcers said that with chandler jones the cardinals finally have a pass rusher teams have to scheme for.

ya, maybe the first half the season, but have they seen hes been nonexistent in the playoffs or against good teams?

If they "unleash" Jones, just run a cutback to his side. He doesn't set the edge well. Loses discipline all the time.

Imagine BB's internal smile if Thuney dominates Jones the whole game.

That's a patio chair, not a lawn chair.
