6/12/2023 0 Comments Freefall card game… Early in the game, we’ve got to be able to possess the ball.” You’ve got to be able to convert on third down and find a way to possess the ball when it really matters. This is not some special magic that has to go off. “We talk about it all the time,” Beachum said. The team’s leading rusher, meanwhile, was James Conner who had 39 yards on 13 carries. Murray was 37-for-58 passing for 314 yards. “You can’t win throwing the ball 60 times,” he said. Offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum has ideas about how to improve things. It seems to me that it would make sense to split a blocking tight end out wide to attack safeties and nickelbacks, allowing the fast guys to do what they do best, which is run with the ball in their hands. So I don’t pretend to know the challenges or pressures.īut I’ve been around the game most of my life, including playing (poorly) in the conference that produced Robert Saleh, Brian Kelly and Matt LaFleur. I’ve never been an NFL head coach or offensive coordinator. I’m not an NFL head coach or an offensive coordinator. But Murray overthrew his speedy teammate. Brown had a free release and was wide open for a surefire touchdown that could have brought the Cardinals to within a field goal in the fourth quarter. He made a great check to let Hollywood Brown know to expect the ball deep in the middle of the field. It’s his job to execute plays, which he’s mostly done, even if he might like to have one back. We all do, except it’s not his job to have the answers. “I wish I had the answer, right now,” he said. And in opening drives, Arizona has been three-and-out twice in three games. They haven’t scored in the first quarter all season. The Cardinals are suffering through painfully slow starts. A problem that can’t be identified, can’t be solved. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. “That’s something that I’ve got to continue to evaluate and figure out what we need to do, whether it’s practice structure or things of that nature, because we’ve got to be better,” he said at the time. He never explained what went wrong last season, either. “We’ve got to figure that out,” Kingsbury said. And they’ve also now lost seven in a row at State Farm Stadium. Dating back to last year, the Cardinals are 2-7 over their last nine, which includes three losses to the Rams. The team is 1-2 after a demoralizing 20-12 home loss to the LA Rams on Sunday in Glendale. The Cardinals are in a freefall, and it’s on Kliff Kingsbury to pull out of it.
