I’m not objective, I’m a cardinal fanatic, haven’t wrote for pro football central for many moons now. Pissed off Ron Jaworski and others at a time, by being right about the cards run game, being the difference.
Even with cards successes, run game was a she- child since Denny Greene until recently. Like 66%+ passing even when ahead!
Get to the show and absolutely forget about it , and lose lose lose. Current staff included, look at simple box scores.
But am excited that rushing and anti rushing is a priority, even if they forget sometimes. I think we need another premium big back. Because nothing can be the engine of offense, the momentum changer, the settler of teams stomach like consistency of a run game. Online is good enough, maybe great if a balanced game plan against playoff opponents.
We are good and great at times, but can be shut down if opponents focus on the run, and did not capitalize when they did with our young receivers. My real point is that NFL games are won and lost on mistakes more then performance, thus new D will mitigate mistakes, KM has been solid and more patient. Team is more disciplined, now needs to be able to survive in a base, stay solid until tides changes after misfortune. Resiliency against great odds.
I have a great hope, that cards can open up the pass game and keep the defense rested, but would like another dynamic ball carrier, so run game can be a primary weapon , sometimes we fall short, when opponents know we’re going to run in crucial times. Would like a higher percentage of base yards, with less risk of turnovers.
