Starting offenses struggle as Cardinals beat Raiders 30-23
Injuries and a looming suspension to right tackle Bobby Massie has thrust a unit that was supposed to be improved into flux. That reportedly stems from a DUI arrest in January. Sowell is moving to the left side, because Veldheer is not going to play.
The newly reconstructed offensive line has not been up to par so far. Cardinals backup quarterback Drew Stanton carved them up.
Arians said the way Welter “approaches it is different from a lot of people, because she is female and she thinks differently”.
Running back Roy Helu Jr. didn’t blow anybody away with his performance.
Losing Iupati and Massie has forced coaches to make other adjustments, too. “We did some things that we wanted to do and it worked”.
Coach Bruce Arians has been critical of Humphries throughout camp.
The rookie returned to practice the day after the veteran showed up. While the days after her hiring was announced were a media frenzy, Arians said the novelty quickly wore off.
-The Cardinals made 11 roster moves on Wednesday to get to 76 players, one more than the limit.
“I hate doing this because it puts a lot of pressure on Khalil, but when I talk to him, I mention guys like Lawrence Taylor and Derrick Thomas”, Tuck said to ESPN’s Bill Williamson. The head coach told the assembled media Wednesday that he would not be surprised if Floyd played in the season opener against the Saints. “This guy is only going to get better”. But we have potential to be a pretty good team. “He can go out on Dancing With The Stars if he wants to dance”. But the team is being cautious with the franchise running back. They know that, if Mack is going well, the whole unit fares better.
Carr made one mistake, and it was a big one. Their “legion of boom” gave Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch a great abundance of opportunities to get ahead in games. An excellent receiver, Johnson can be used in some creative ways.
NOTES: Arians said the team planned to administer fitness tests to several injured players Thursday in hopes of getting them in practice Friday, with the idea they’ll play on Sunday night.
Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III will miss tonight’s exhibition game at Baltimore because of a concussion. He’s trying to make the roster as the Cardinals’ third QB. CB Jerraud Powers, LB Sean Weatherspoon and RB Chris Johnson are all dealing with hamstring injuries, but could see action pending test results. But what is the start time on the Raiders football game, and what TV channel is the Cardinals vs Raiders game today 8/30/15? The second year player helped the Raiders defense limit Palmer to eight of 22 passes for 103 yards. He has passed NT Alameda Ta’amu on the depth chart. Thank you second and third team players. It wasn’t necessarily an eye-opening outing, but it was better than his past two. He hasn’t played yet because of a hamstring injury…. He is missing time this week and CB Justin Bethel is starting in his place.
Mack was good past year, but he also often looked like a dazed and confused rookie at times as he learned the National Football League, which was quite a big jump in game speed from the University of Buffalo.
