Wk 8-The Bye week. Keeping up with the Cardinals

[Ronin]

I created a thread for news on the cardinals during the bye week.

 

[oaken1]

We could have movement

if Seattle loses this week we will be in first place in the division due to having the same record and we won the head to head and are undefeated in the division
Hags already had their bye

Fans need a bye week to recover after that game.

Lets hope the bye week gets us a few things.

1. If there are any moves, lets hope they are to make a push for the playoffs this season. I've changed my tune after last night. We can be a playoff team this year.

2. We get some reinforcements back from injury...Maxx Williams, Thompson, etc.

3. We get new guys on the field after the bye...Marcus Golden and Isiah Simmons.

Kyler Murray admitted he looked at the bye week as time off last year. Him and the team looked lethargic in what was his worst game of the year imo.

This year he says he's more mature and locked in and "there is no bye week"

We need the following:
1. A RB if Drake is out and the team doesn't think Eno or Ward are ready.
2. A TE if Max Williams is not ready after the Bye.
3. DL to replace Phillips if needed. I think opponents are going to run the ball more in order to keep Kyler off the field.
4. We need to keep Chase in his present role as a back up RB. I see him getting more snaps as the team will probably pass more.
JMO.

I think we need DI even if Philips is ok. I haven't been too impressed with our interior this year considering what we put into it in picks and money. It's not been particularly good vs the run or pass. It's ok, but needs to be better.

I'm ok with Edmonds starting at RB with small spells from Eno and Ward. I'm ok with what we have at TE as we don't use it too much. But DL as a whole is probably the weakest area of the team at the moment. It's working it's nuts off, but to get pressure we have to blitz and good teams will take advantage of that.

Many players seem to be hurt. This bye week is sorely needed

Think KC and Lev Bell would agree to flip another trade?

Not really funny.

Eno is probably every bit as good as DJ at this point anyway.

Eno has not played a snap in professional football. He may be better but that will not be this year.

David Johnson is washed up but he can still get 3.5 avg yards and catch passes like a receiver and knows offense.

I wouldn't give them that.

If Drake has nothing broke and he might miss 3-4 games with a muscle injury just role with Edmonds.

If he's out longer still role with Edmonds and pick up one of many street free agents that are sat at home to spell him from,

Lamar Miller
Isaiah Crowell
Bilal Powell

Or DJ Foster, Ward or Eno.

There's only 1 RB I can think of that should be cheap as he's FA next year, still young and could do a good job for us next year and going forward if we let Drake walk and that's Jamaal Williams. I think he has a tonne of potential and that Packers likely don't resign him with AJ Dillon.

I'd send a low pick for him.

You mean that Houston gives us a seven round pick, right?

 

[Russ Smith]

The real issue IMO is short yardage, Drake is the biggest RB we have. Someone last night mentioned maybe Streveler as an option there which is interesting he has done it and looked good.

Hopefully Drake is not serious but it didn't look good last night.

The games are getting tougher now Miami is good, Buffalo is good, Rams are good, Seattle again is good, even the Pats are pretty good though obviously down from normal without Brady. We're going to have less margin for error so I really hope either Drake can get back quickly, or we find a RB who can get short yardage runs

Kingsbury doesn't have a lot of specifics on injuries. Kenyan Drake (ankle) was in a lot of pain, but until the MRI, he didn't have any other info. If Edmonds starts, they will look at all three other guys -- Benjamin, Ward, Foster -- to see who would be the No. 2.

Kingsbury said LB Jordan Hicks was out late in the game because of an injury, but didn't say what it was or how serious it was

Cardinals 37, Seahawks 34 in as wild a Sunday-nighter as you’ll see. And we’ll remember it for that weirdness, no doubt. But it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility that we’ll also look back on it as something else: the night Arizona announced itself as a bona fide contender in the rugged NFC West.

“It’s getting to 2–0 in the division with our bye week,” Kingsbury said. “We’re going to rest and heal up. And teaching a lot off of the win against a really good team, is the biggest thing. Would hate to have lost that one and try to make those corrections. There’s a lot we have to clean up, obviously. But to get to 2–0 at the midpoint, at our bye week, it’s kind of our goal.”

And the possibilities from here are pretty wild, when you consider where the Cardinals were just a year and a half ago.

Its time for Eno to get some reps at practice and spell Edmonds. Chase has shown he can be RB1, as long as he isn't running it 35 times a game. He is a great recieveing back, and runs hard when needed. Eno should be able to fill into the backup role.

Cardinals’ RB Kenyan Drake is expected to miss “a few weeks” with a slight tear of a ligament in his ankle, per source. Cardinals are treating it like a high ankle sprain.

Has he played a snap? How'd he injure himself? Uncomfy plane seat?

I was like who he play for?
