Good-The MHJ breakout that opened the score fest. K1's play. Conner's play. McBrides play. The Barbarian's 3 sacks. OL. Beachum. Entire Card's team play. Coaching
Bad-What happened to Rams players being the recipients of the ICBM known as Budda( What is Budda's helmet called? Warhead)
Ugly- McVay's post game press conference.

I can only think of two things that weren’t good today. Benson thinking too much and clearly needing some mentorship by Conner, and Tune at QB2. I think Benson will improve a lot. I don’t think Tune will. I hope and pray K1 stays healthy.

I don’t think Tune will. I hope and pray K1 stays healthy. I agree with both takes. I hated to give any negative comments on a great team win...it was hard to name all the players who had a good to great game. I have no worries about Benson. Tune is trending Tune out. The nickel still worries me even though they were very successful today. Taking advantage of Mack Wilson's pass rush has still been kept in the garage. White had too many clunky pass rushes with limited success at best. I am glad Pappoe is getting snaps...MLB may be one of the strong positions as they gel and settle into their best roles. |

Yes the negatives are small.
My main worry this season is the defense. Today our defense looked amazing, with five sacks and an incredible 12 tackles for loss.
We only had one punt and it was for 60 yards.
Prater was 5/5 XP and 2/2 FG, including a 57 yarder.
Kyler had a perfect QBR and only missed on 4 passes. Incredibly, those 4 were all intended for MHJ, who had “only” 4 catches on 8 attempts. As the Kyler to MHJ timing improves, LOOK OUT! He also ran well.
McBride was a stud and caught everything sent his way, and TE2 Higgins had that long TD. Wilson was a stud and caught everything sent his way.
Conner was a stud and ran for almost 6 yards per touch, 120 yards and a TD.
We doubled the Rams in net yards, 490 to 245. We more than tripled them in 3rd down efficiency. We beat them in time of possession 37 minutes to 23 minutes.
Here’s the ONE other negative besides Benson and Tune in this game. We had 5 penalties while the Rams only had 2. It was nice not seeing the zebras involved as they were last week!

It was great to see the Cardinals beat the snot out of the Rams but there's always a butt...
The offensive line still needs some work in pass protection. The the little dude makes a great place running around with history has shown that you can't make a living do that every play.
I thought that Harrison Jr was really like Larry on his touchdown catch where he stretched and dove to get into the end zone. Reminded me of one of Larry's touchdowns against the Panthers the playoffs.

Good: KM taking snaps under Center. KM showed me that he's learning how to use JG and DP's playbook better.
Bad: KM getting chased around like a rabbit in a barnyard pen. The pocket has holes. KM did move outside when he was forced to run.
Good: Home win vs. Division rival.
Bad: Tune having to play with the 2nd team, and he still struggles with some fundamentals. In another year, he might get learn enough to do okay as #2. He's not ready today.
Good: Coach Gannon throwing a Red Flag on that Zebra mis-read for a LAR completion in the first quarter. Gannon took the Zebras out of the game all day after that brilliant call.
Bad: All Cardinals players have to play smart. One man giving the opposition free 15 yards on a personal foul flag kills the other players' efforts. A well-timed locker room fine of a few bucks will clean up that problem.

I got the impression early that Sanchez wanted to root for the Rams, but The Cards came on so furiously that he had to reconsider.  |
