Not a ton of stats but a nice TD a fantastic catch and a helluva effort driving his legs for that first down!

About time we can praise you!

Agreed, but easy to exceed his expectations when there were none.

Housler played up to his original expectations when the Cardinals drafted him.

Well, he did pull the monkey off his back ala Steve Young if you watched closely! ;)
Maybe it will help his mindset, which is a big part of being successful IMO...believing in yourself! Time will tell

Housler has the talent, it's just putting together opportunity and good play at the same time.

IMO he's been plagued by no opportunity (ie QB doesn't get him the ball) and drops at crucial time. He's been open a lot since he came here, we just haven't had a QB that can get him the ball.

By far his best game yet, that play where he caught that 4 yard pass and carried the defender like 7 yards for the first down was a beauty.

It was the best game of his career which highlights the disappointing career he has had so far. Hopefully he will use this game to start to meet his athletic talent. I am not sold that he will, but we will see.

Great game from Housler. That catch that set us up down at the 5 yard line was awesome. Some good runs after catch also.

This could be big for the offense. Hope he keeps it up.

Reminiscent of Jackie Smith.:)

Best game of his career so far. Very good game for a Cards TE. Solid game as a TE in the NFL. Third rd picks don't typically blow it up in year one or two. This is year three so let's see how he does going forward.

I seriously doubt the Ballard catch influenced how Housler player.
