St Louis Rams vs Arizona Cardinals Odds, Point Spread: Week 4 Schedule
With all these points, the Arizona Cardinals are hard to ignore. And for opposing quarterbacks and wide receivers, these are anything but friendly skies.
“That’s the way I coach, the game is never over until it’s over”, Arians said after the Bears game. That’s second-most in the league over that span, behind only Buffalo’s 47. Defensively, St. Louis is allowing 22.3 points and 325 yards per game. “Negative plays creating turnovers”.
“He can go straight ahead real fast as always”, Arians said. “My goal is to keep grinding forward and by the end of the year we’ll be where we want to be”.
A new stadium, revived fan base, and re-shaped mentality would give the Rams all of that and then a few .
Arians believes the noise generated by 49ers fans in Glendale caused problems for offensive tackle Bobby Massie, who returned to the field Sunday after a two-game suspension. So any Arizona WR, TE or RB might be worth playing this week. “Definitely didn’t get to show it (last weekend)”.
The postseason, should Arizona return to it, will provide unfamiliar surroundings for Palmer. The chemistry between Palmer and Fitz really started gelling previousyear, but the 2014 injuries claimed “what could have been”. Carson Palmer completed 20 of 32 passes and two touchdowns against two interceptions. Five of those have gone to Larry Fitzgerald, who now averages 111 yards on almost eight receptions per game.
A large part of the Rams’ large potential was the switch at the quarterback position from Sam Bradford to Nick Foles, formerly a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. St. Louis’ popgun offense is borderline unwatchable for the umpteenth consecutive season, and ranks dead last so far in yardage and 28th in scoring. “We watched their film last week, and they didn’t just do it all on offense as to where all the points were”.
Preparing to face the Rams for the first time since that injury, Palmer has accomplished both tasks and will try to lead the Cardinals to their second 4-0 start in four seasons Sunday. Arizona is 15-3 at home under Arians…. “Run our offense, run what we do. I won’t shy away from that”.
Palmer’s veteran status is something coach Jeff Fisher admits makes him tough to gameplan for.
“I just think being a vet and being around for a while has benefited me”. The talent is here, and the more this team plays the better they will get.
Safety Rashad Johnson, cornerback Jerraud Powers and cornerback Patrick Peterson are the others with interceptions.
It’s easy to argue that the players on the roster that Mathieu was referring to on the defensive side of the ball.
