Arizona Cardinals @ Cincinnati Bengals Pregame thread. 09/30/19-10/05/19

[Son of RedRage]

This quote is patently ridiculous.

How so?

 

[schutd]

How so?

Because we literally have no one who can cover the slot or TE's.

WR Pharoh Cooper has brief stint with the Bengals, he mentioned they're running the same exact offense as the Rams, but without the same personnel. Zac Taylor experience calling plays was at U-Cincinnati (2016) OC & QB's coach, severed as the Rams QB coach last year. #AZvsCIN

DC Vance Joseph on rookie safety Jalen Thompson, who is in the mix to play after the release of D.J. Swearinger: "He’s the closest we have to Budda. They are very similar as far as play style and tackling, having the skills to cover the slot and most tight ends.

Most hilarious quote of the week.

Budda Baker cover tight ends? Budda Baker can't cover my grandmother, and she passed away back in 2012.

Murphy can cover the slot.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Murphy can cover the slot.

And for all we know one of the Thompsons can cover TEs.

I'll be on a plane during the game... if we win, it only means one thing: I'm the problem.

 

[wit3card]

This game will tell us if we can win some games or not. If we want to learn and start winning this is the game.

 

[cardpa]

Sidenote: trying to figure out which QB to start this week. Rodgers, Kyler, or Jameis?

I would pick Rodgers, their offense is starting to click.

 

[daves]

I've definitely watched us on CBS before. I know typically nfc is fox and afc is cbs but I don't know the details

Strangely enough, for as long as i remember, probably 40-50 years, it's been the AWAY team that determines which network covers Sunday day games.

That's correct, but sometimes due to some weird scheduling quirks with the afternoon games, you get an NFC vs NFC game on CBS or an AFC vs AFC game on FOX.

Agree that we have to continue to improve, but losing an east coast 10 am game is not going to doom us to a winless season. We've struggled to win east coast games even when we were a playoff team. I think we'll be competitive on Sunday, but my optimism for the future is not riding on this one east coast game. What Bengals team shows up? The one that almost won in Seattle & Buffalo, or the one that got smoked by SF & Pittsburgh? If it's the former, this will be a tough game to win. If it's the latter, we'll be competitive.

Come on Sunday, 12 pm. Daddy needs some Cardinal's football.

Cardinals at Bengals

DE Zach Allen (neck), LB Dennis Gardeck (ankle), WR Christian Kirk (ankle), S Charles Washington (shoulder) and OL Jordan Mills (knee) are out for the Cardinals. WR Damiere Byrd (hamstring), P Andy Lee (right hip), OL Justin Pugh (shoulder), CB Tramaine Brock (back), LB Ezekiel Turner (hand, hamstring) and LB Terrell Suggs (back) are listed as questionable.

WR A.J. Green (ankle), T Cordy Glenn (concussion) and DE Kerry Wynn (concussion) will not play for the Bengals.

 

[PACardsFan]

I just rewatched the Steeler/Bengal game. In the first half, Dalton had time, and the Bengals had success moving the ball both on the ground & in the air. Mixon is pretty good & can hurt us if the Bengals start running downhill against our weak front 7. Once the Steeler front 7 completely took over this game, Dalton had no shot & was sacked 8 times. When he wasn't sacked, he was forced to throw before he wanted & the Bengals offense had absolutely no rhythm whatsoever. Can the Cardinals create the same pressure as the Steelers did? Probably NOT. Our D won't embarrass the Dalton like the Steelers did, so let's hope we can put some points on the board.

Love how you're managing expectations PA. We really need that on this board. Everybody needs to stay patient, and give things time to sort themselves out.

Still, I'm looking forward to/hoping for, at some point in the next several games, K1 and K2 putting together a complete, four-quarter performance on offense. You know, like a 31 or 38 point outburst. An appetizer to keep us happy until the main course arrives (so to speak).

And it's possible tomorrow might be it, mainly because our run game has a chance to get on track against a below-average CIN front seven. I think if you give K2 some real flexibility in his playing calling, and back K1 with an effective running attack, they'll be able to carve up the CIN defense pretty well. But we'll see.

I'll go Cards 31-28 over the Stripped Kitties.

At Cincinnati brings back bad memories. Specifically giving up 21 points in the fourth quarter to turn victory into defeat.

Psychologically, this is a big game for both teams. This is the game you should win. Lose this one and you're at a hopeless nadir.

Dangerously or foolishly?

#K2 On WR Pharoh Cooper’s involvement in the return game:

#K2 “He will be involved. He’s a guy that was right there on the cusp (of making the roster). We like what he did. I think he’s a really good fit for our system, what we do offensively and special teams-wise." #AZvsCIN

I just can’t believe that Andy Isabella is not a contributor
