PFF must have whiffed badly on Elijah Jones HOF game grade. Jones made 3 tackles one big-hit 3rd down stop and missed 1 tackle. He was by far the Cardinals' best CB in pass coverage, giving up 3 catches on 7 targets for 42.9% for a mere 17 yards (5.7yds per catch), O TDs and a stellar 50.3 QB-RTG. Remember how he blanketed the fade pass to the right corner of the end zone with 6 seconds left in the game? Yet their grade was 42.7. I am going to reach out to them to get an accurate grade. All of his numbers suggest a grade in the low 80s to high 70s.
Second Half Offense:
QB Slovis 92.5
RB Kiner 65.4
RB Hull 81.7

Risers: Beck, Virgil, Brooks
ReplyDeleteFallers: Clark, Weaver, Rallis. Actually, Rallis might be gone before the end of this season if there's no improvement from last year's defensive issues.
Goners: Ojulari, Benson
Walt, I would appreciate a breakdown of the performance from the rookie class, particularly Bisontis and Jayden Williams. Keep up the great work.

DeleteLike. Your wish is Red Rain's command.
DeleteI was especially happy with the WR play. The team was lacking in reliable bench WRs with Dortch gone so hopefully Brooks/Virgil can solve that problem.
ReplyDeleteI thought the OL showed lots of promise as well. If a couple of those guys get a chance to start some games and play well then MOs drafting looks much better instantly.
Obviously Beck was excellent.
The defense is just depressing. I feel like this offense could be top 10 and the team will still struggle to win many games.
One topic I'd like to see, not necessarily this week but before the season starts, is what constitutes a successful performance by LaFleur in year 1? It's easy for people to just say having a winning record or making the playoffs but I don't think that's actually realistic personally, given the state of the defense, which is largely out of his control. What I want are a list of things in his control that will be a basis for saying he's either doing a good job or a poor job as a head coach.
