6th day of training camp that exemplifies why the Cardinals decided to trade
Josh Rosen and draft Kyler Murray with the #1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Setting the stage:Formation: 2 X 2 spread, shotgun, RB to left of QB.Offensive
Personnel (from left to right):18—Butler; 12—-Cooper; 74—-Humphries; 67—-Pugh;
52—-Cole; 64—-Sweezy; 76—-Gilbert; 89—-Isabella; 16—-Sherfield; 29—-Edmonds;
1—-Murray.Defensive Personnel: Nickel (4 Man Front of Suggs, Peters, Jones—-with
Hicks at MLB, Vallejo at NLB over Isabella, Alford on Sherfield)Defensive Call:
TEX stunt (Peters goes outside rush, Suggs loops inside), MLB middle blitz
(Hicks)93—-Darius Philon swims past outside shoulder of RG J.R. Sweezy and beats
him badly—-poor fan technique by Sweezy. Philon gets clean shot at Murray.Last
year when the inside pass rush wash this quick, Josh Rosen typically took a dive
to avoid the hit—-can’t blame him per
se
Byron Murphy
Arizona Cardinals Jersey , but as we see here, Kyler Murray has an answer
by taking a quick jab step to his left away from Philon.Mason Cole tries
valiantly to help on Philon, but Sweezy hadn’t slowed Philon down at all (Sean
Kugler will be going over this today with Sweezy and will be correcting his
technique. It looked like Sweezystood up and lunged at Philon (both mistakes),
when he should have drop-stepped into a proper fan technique. This is very
correctable—-so don’t freak out.)Justin Pugh bottles up the middle pretty well,
although Terrell Suggs is able to eventually loop past him on his TEX stunt and
put pressure on Murray after Murray shook Philon with his jab step and then
flushed to his right.Both tackles handle their men well—-Marcus Gilbert stops
Chandler Jones in his tracks, although Jones looks like he might be dropping off
into coverage after contact.On the other side, D.J. Humphries reads the TEX
stunt well and seals off Corey Peters’ rush.Key Block: Chase Edmonds fills and
blocks Jordan Hicks on the MLB blitz—-which allows Kyler Murray to take his jab
step away from Darius Philon and then flush to his right.Key Mistake on Defense:
when Robert Alford covers Trent Sherfield on his slant, it looks clearly like
the coverage is man to man. But NLB (nickel) Tanner Vallejo does not pick up
slot WR Andy Isabella and instead looks like he is dropping into the seam
(zone). The FS has too far to go to pick up Isabella man to man...which also
suggests this is a blown coverage.Murray does what he does best when he flushes,
he keeps his eyes downfield and while moving to his right, with a quick flip of
his wrist

Murphy Jersey , he hits Andy Isabella (who ran a perfect deep comeback
route) right on the numbers.When the FS overruns the play, Andy Isabella makes
one shake move and scores the TD.This play is one of the main reasons why Kyler
Murray is a special talent. He will make some mistakes, as all rookies and QBs
do, but this play was a superb answer to an earlier interception and it
highlights not only Murray’s outstanding improvisational skills (his quick feel
for pressure and how to race to it), but just as significant, his ability to
keep his eyes downfield while under duress, to locate an open WR and to throw a
quick,accurate dart on the run. The smoke for the 2019 NFL Draft is thicker than
ever.The latest report from Pete Prisco of CBS Sports is also one of the most
damning I can remember, although I do not think it is a true..."The smoke for
the 2019 NFL Draft is thicker than ever.The latest report from Pete Prisco of
CBS Sports is also one of the most damning I can remember, although I do not
think it is a true reflection of what is going
on:“Initially
Byron
Murphy Arizona Cardinals Jersey , the ownership pushed for Kyler Murray,
that much I know, I was told that. The reason they did is they are having a hard
time selling tickets. Well, they put it out there. Arizona was lukewarm to it.
So now, all of a sudden, they are pulling back and from what I’ve been told,
they are going to go in a different direction. They are not going to draft Kyler
Murray.”If this is accurate it is not a good look. While fans are important,
they're also fickle. They'll bend and sway depending on the way of the wind
blowing.If your grade dictates taking Kyler Murray... Take Kyler Murray.Being
afraid of the fans reaction is silly.Now, based on one thing I've heard there is
another possibility that makes a bit more sense.There is a rumor that Steve
Keim, not
ownership
Sam
Bradford Jersey 2019 , is push for the Cardinals to keep Rosen and take
another player at one since the Cardinals have not been offered a first in
exchange for Rosen.This would make sense. Keim values Rosen, he tends to hold
onto his first round picks until they prove him wrong. It's not a bad move for
Keim to over value Rosen, in fact it makes sense, he should value his 2018 first
round pick more than others seem to.So, if that is accurate, I understand and
even agree.If the team is bending to the will of the fans, I cannot agree any
less.
