Cards let Another Game get Away

Arizona defense couldn't get off the field on 3rd downs. Seattle repeatedly went to the non-playaction action on 3rd down to free up receivers and repeatedly moved the chains. DK had a field day as he racked up over 100 yards receiving. The Cardinals secondary that had been averaging 5 picks a game couldn't hold water in this one. Kyler Murray went 20-33, 356 yards 2td, 2int. New commer D. EVANS rushed for 42 yards and a score in relief of Conner who was a CDNP. Tight End T. McBride continued to put up big numbers as defensive schemes focus on the wide receiver group. McBride had 9 catches for 176 yards and 2 td. Hopkins continues to make his way back into form topping the 100 yard mark again. The coaches are looking for more out of Hollywood Brown who hasn't shown much glitz and glam since arriving in the desert this summer. Brown knows he is expected to take the load off of Hopkins, even with the suspension Brown was not the focus of the offense as the Cardinals leaned on the run game. A happy medium is needed for this team to be successful so that teams don't key on one of the other. The addition of Evans should help elevate the run game to aid Murray and the passing attack. The defense will look to pick up some pieces in the draft to help bolster the young outfit. Half way through the season and Arizona finds themselves 3 games over .500, it will be tough to make the playoffs if things dont pick up soon. Hopefully the players are not looking for the bye week. Next up is another division game vs the Rams and their strong defense, led by the defensive player of the year. Aaron Donald. Not looking forward to that match up.
