50% of the season is over. What works. What doesn't.

WR J.J. Nelson, has just four catches for 21 yards on the season despite playing in all eight games for the Cardinals
THIS is NOT working. I know I have seen at least two TD passes he has dropped. One was wide open no defender on him! Worst hands ever in football and he's a WR! Make him a corner, please!

I'm not keen on bringing back Benson Mayowa. Too many time I see him lose outside contain which ends up being a huge running play for the opposition.

That could be a scheme thing. Chandler Jones was great against the run last year, this year he has taken a step back.......and the coaching has been questionable all year, so I would say that is probably Wilks and his idealistic arrogance.

Nope go watch the third quarter with around 4 minutes left. When Mayowa is in there they Niners run right at him with a ton of success.

Here is a play where he gets completely taken out by a one on one block by the TE!

The TE has Mayowa completely sealed off with a one on one block. That can't happen!

That is the second play in a row where they ran right at Mayowa and gained over 15 yards on 1st down. He is a major liability in the Running game and this has happened to Mayowa in several games.

This 15 yard run was 2 plays earlier. Here you can see Rookie tackle Mike McGlinchey completely take Mayowa out of the play.

The RB is already 5 yards past Mayowa and he still can't get away from McGlinchey:

@MadCardDisease Blocks in the back on both plays. 1st play Reddick clearly is being blocked from behind with his hands up. 2nd play on Nkemdiche in the backfield.

I'm talking about Mayowa who whenever he gets into the game teams run right at him with success. When you can successfully block a DE with a TE, teams are going to exploit that all day!

Dude is a rotational player. That is going to happen. First example looks like a bad play. On the second play he has occupied his man and the linebackers have to clean up the ball carrier. Not on Mayowa.

What works is 98.7 propaganda. What does not work is Cardinals Oline. The #1 reason Cardinals are 2-6.
