1 – I like me some James Conner. So fun to watch.
2 – Not only has Kingsbury led the team to its current success, but his playcalling is also very good, as we once again saw in this game. I am definitely relieved that Oklahoma will hire Brent Venables as their new head coach, and leave Kingsbury alone. If it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it.
(P.S. If he had left, my very clear-cut favorite to replace him both short- and long-term would have been Jeff Rodgers).
3 – Chandler Jones gets a gameball.
4 – Yet another bad game by the run defense. Third game in a row where they give up more than 4.0 yards on average per run, and throughout the season they are the third worst team in that stat. Good thing that they are often playing with the lead, and thus force the opponent to throw a lot.
5 – On the Budda Baker interception, where he ran down to the 20-yard line from the 10 (okay, 25 for Fotu), big Leki Fotu actually ended up in the same place. Racecar man. (Exhibit A: https://www.azcardinals.com/video/baker-picks-off-dalton-nearly-takes-it-to-the-house)
6 – Zach Allen is playing better and better.
7 – What’s with the Kyle Shanahan-look, Kliff?
8 – D.J. Humphries is having a difficult season.
9 – Jordan Phillips has really been an upgrade against the pass since he was activated.
10 – Ironically, Dennis Gardeck’s roughing the passer penalty – that gave the Bears a new first down – actually ended up giving the Cards better field position than the punt (likely) would have after Dalton threw an interception on the next play.
