Atlanta Falcons @ Arizona Cardinals Pregame thread. 10/7/19-10/12/19

[Jetstream Green]

The Falcons have the personnel and the schemes to give this Cardinal defense all kinds of hurt. In other words you better have responsible and instinctive LBs and looking at guys like Marsh and Reddick is a recipe for making our visitor scoreboard explode. Then you have this Julio Jones guy which can dismantle our current cornerbacks. There is only one way we slow these cats down and that's if we can hit Ryan a couple of times... the dude is a poor man's Kurt Warner looking to get in a rhythm

Soooo...... J.J Nelson just got released..

Whats more likely? A return to Arizona or joins Arians in Tampa

(last year could be used as a blame Wilks excuse)

I think if we had interest he would not have been sent packing.

Cardinals with a healthy respect for Falcons WR Julio Jones.

Kingsbury: "He's an absolute freak."

Fitz: "There’s nobody like Julio in the game... He’s a mutant, a superhero.”

 

[SoonerLou]

I think if we had interest he would not have been sent packing.

And yet...I think he might be better than Cooper, Byrd, Sherfield..

But maybe its just remembing him with Palmer too much.

Steve Young on NFL Live said he wants Kyler Murray to take more shots downfield.

He speaks for all Cardinals fans.

He sucked here. Always. His biggest year here was 34 catches. He's not an upgrade over the current players and he drops mad balls.

Matt Ryan is a missed Devonta Freeman block from being a SB MVP and future HOF. Think about that.

legacy of inches...

 

[DVontel]

One of few here that liked JJ Nelson. Was one of the few players that actually gave it his all every week in 2016.

I guess it speaks to how much I think of Shefield, Byrd and Cooper...

Looks like DJ is 50-50 for the game.

Ian Rapoport reporting that Julio Jones should be ready to go on Sunday.

Ugh.

What else does he not know how to do?

Anyways, standing by my statements that this is going to be a rough game for us. With DJ & Kirk hurt, and the Falcons with their backs against the wall, I see us getting beat hard.

21-41 or thereabouts. But not really close. Go down early, constantly playing catch-up, Kyler ends it with solid fantasy numbers.

My initial reaction in the moment was the same as yours but the more I thought about it, the less disturbed I was and the more encouraged I became. Kliff is proving it isn't all about him and he is taking counsel from guys with a bunch of NFL experience who can tell him what will work and what won't.

I have been very skeptical of this hire from the beginning but Kliff is growing on me. Get rid of Keim and get someone who is competent at the GM role and look out.

Son of Red Rage, I think we'll score more than 14 points. But I'm not sure we can hold Atlanta to 35.

@AZSports
, Cardinals GM Steve Keim said he was "encouraged" by RB David Johnson's rehab with his back this week. TBD on playing Sunday, but Keim sounded optimistic.

Replying to
@Cardschatter
Those I did not see during #AZCardinals practice: DL Zach Allen, S Charles Washington and a lot of LBs, Terrell Suggs, Dennis Gardeck, Ezekiel Turner. LB Haason Reddick was around for individual drills but didn't go through team stretch.

One of the key match ups going into the #ATLvsAZ game is the Falcons arsenal of play makers on offense starting w/ Julio Jones.

He has 20 catches for 306 yds (102 per game) & 2 receiving TDs in past 3 vs. Arizona.

Jones has highest receiving yds per game (95.6) in NFL history.

Kingsbury said - as predicted - Johnson and Kirk (and Suggs for that matter) are all game-time decisions. Johnson, for his part, said he was good to go.
