Arizona Cardinals Rumors: Andre Ellington Returns, Chris Johnson Fantasy Start

Andre Ellington is questionable. The inactive list will indeed be interesting to see – but again, it’s a good problem to have.

After missing most of training camp and the first four games of the season, Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy will make his debut Sunday afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals. They are last in the league in rushing and even Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson seem to be out of sync. “This is a talented team“. They key is to get a big play here or there, which isn’t easy. “Or you can get by it and move on and start focusing on your next opponent, and that’s what we plan to do”. We worked on it twice today, just a couple of very simple, correctable mistakes, but I think that’s past us.

If Bettcher wants to get creative with a few blitz combinations, this could be the week to do it. Detroit has struggled picking up extra bodies near the line of scrimmage, with third-down running back Theo Riddick and tight end Tim Wright being strictly limited to receiving options. Caldwell said after that game that it might be time to allow more plays to be reviewed with instant replay.

With another great week from Falcons running back Devonta Freeman, Atlanta cruised to a dominating win over the visiting Houston Texans. How will it play out? Though he’s not sure how that’s going to work, exactly.

The Cardinals have had a useful running in Ellington’s deficiency, as frequent logjam Chris Johnson has been doing an exceptional task of with a the burden.

On Thanksgiving in 2012, Houston’s Justin Forsett scored on an 81-yard run against the Lions, even though replays clearly showed his knee and elbow touched the turf. “They are the laughingstock of the National Football League right now and I get to say I am a fan”. But it’s nice to have options. The Giants offensive line is vulnerable, and San Francisco needs to take advantage of that. Yes, there are things to improve with communication and such, but the line overall has been better. That hasn’t happened in recent memory. They have rushed for 188 yards this season, the passing game has not been around, leaving Calvin Johnson hanging out to dry.

“Hopefully, this won’t come back to haunt us”, Arians said.

Philip Rivers has often played like an elite quarterback, but what’s held him back (besides the lack of playoff wins) is that he gets off to fast starts and then just disappears. Nelson did muff his last punt catch attempt. I’m more anxious about Detroit.

The Lions may be 0-4, but they dropped their opener after grabbing a 21-3 lead on the Chargers and also hung with the Broncos until late.

Goodwin took over the job from James Bettcher, when Bettcher was elevated to defensive coordinator. We are fed up with the crap we have to watch every week and deserve better as a team. Arians said he knew the rule about batting away a fumble in the end zone before it was a non-call in Seattle that may have cost the Lions a victory. “It will be pretty awesome, I’m excited”, stated Veldheer, who told Mlive.com he expects to have about 100 family and friends at the game together with his parents. He shrugged off the idea it’d make him nervous.
