Do you think they haven't thought of that already? It was clearly the most popular game plan against Kyler. Personally, I thought it was better for Kyler than teams that were aggressive and blitzed more.

If I was defending Kyler, i would say get in his face ASAP so he has a hard time seeing WRs. And contain hard on the outside.

The difference now is we have a threat of a running game. That will help. Throw in a couple of screens and draws will help.

With a running game, including the fact Kyler is a big part of the run game, our offense would be a handful for any DC to game plan for next season.

I hope Kyler Murray plays. I don't want to have durability discussions / concerns with him over the off-season. I also want to see him play through discomfort which he has said he doesn't like to do.

i guess my point is that those defenses have been moderated by the threat of him running

can he play an efficient game with a low threat of him running

this too

When the games matter(playoff implications), sure.

Absolutely no reason to play him this game. Also can’t wait to see if Hundley can capitalize on his momentum from last week to be sure we have a QB2.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will be a game-time decision as he continues to deal with a right hamstring injury, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday. “I’m not sure he’ll be ready to go,” Kingsbury said. Brett Hundley has been getting more reps in practice than Murray, Kingsbury said.

I think the Rams are going to blow us out if they come to play, we just do not match up well at all against them in the trenches and they have shown that again and again... but you're damn right I would love to be wrong for a win

I can’t buy into that. SF are better in the trenches on both offense & defense, yet, we took them to the wire in both games. I really just think our constant biting on their rollouts just kills us. Lack of discipline.

I think we just match up well against the Niners and do not against the Rams, talent/scheme etc. These are division games and regardless of team records outside of the division, these match ups have their quirks. The Rams have elements in their talent upfront which the Cardinals simply cannot deal with, though on paper one might say the Niners have more talent... Shipley getting owned by Donald is one which removes the rock which causes the avalanche

Cardinals prep for no Kyler Murray, who is gametime decision vs. Rams

If this truly is a game time decision, not just a ruse, then you do not play your most important franchise player... plus if the Rams blow us out again, then Kyler is safe from fault lol

I think it means more for a guy who went #1 and the franchise has banked on. But, I get the other argument. I think you do it now so you can learn how to best do it later when it really matters.

Punt on first down every drive and give Chandler more snaps to try and get the record

Yup, like that one year when we threw the ball to Larry Centers every chance we got

Of course. Even if the Cards know he is playing it gives the Rams more film to watch and prepare for.
