Preseason week 3: Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings GameDay Thread. 08/24/19

[Crimson Warrior]

I was upset at Isabella but this is just preseason. If you asked me, Kyler had a good game in what is still a limited offensive exposure of what we will be running, not getting hurt and getting some safe reps with no turnovers... and removed from the instinctive brain fart of the Cooks run, our DL was a lot more physical

Yeah not a great performance by K1, but good. And if we hit big on Keeshan, but miss on Isabella, well, i guess we'll have to take that won't we Jet?

Also, surprisingly, the 1st team offensive line looked competent, with Pugh back in at G.

Still waiting for the DET game before I get too excited about anything, but if I had to assign a grade to the first teamer's (offense, and special teams) today, I'd give them a "B"

Special Teams were very good

I think they are hiding Isabella's packages with the first team offense. Jet sweets and other gadget plays will happen during the season.

Better game in the first half today. Murray looked better. One big issue that happened on three different occasions was that we had a big play to get into the red zone or close to it, and very next play we had a holding call all three times. Drive killer. Run defense is still an issue. Special teams and field goal kicker was very good today. Penalties are killing this team through 3 games.

So...

As a Murray supporter, we should at minimum hold Murray to the same standards as Rosen and likely higher

So let's chill on the telling other posters to shut up

Hopefully Murray turns them around

Fitz
Kirk
Crabtree
Keesean Johnson
Sherfield
Byrd
Isabella

Hakeem- IR

Nailed it!

I don't know if there is a QB throwing better accurate laser balls going backwards

Which is what blows my mind. What if he just learns to set his damn feet

 

[football karma]

He makes throws constantly off his back foot or in motion.

i dont think this is ever going away. In fact, i think it would be a mistake to try to get him out of it.

I think that as his reads come faster, the accuracy off that weird stance will improve ( btw: he was 66% for the game)

5 holding penalties today.

but miss on Isabella

i know you arent calling him a bust, but i think its early on Isabella.

Not uncommon for hands to be an issue for young WRs. Devante Adams and Cooper Kupp come to mind rookie WRs who struggled with hands their first year.

 

[FB94]

Not worried about Isabella. He needs some seasoning this year. If this continues into year two then it’s an issue. There are four other WRs that Will most likely be the focal point

We will see Issabella streaking down the middle of the field just like today many many times in the future. And when safety’s are forced to respect that we’ll see him breaking off some crossing routes. His presence will open other things.

Definitely early. I'm still very hopeful for Andy.

DJ was fine.

But he was so much more than “fine” at one point in time. Now he’s looking mire and more like just fine.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Ready for the regular season. One more practice game. No injuries and I will be happy

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Is anyone else surprised at kyler’s speed? He’s definitely fast, but not as fast as I expected. He’s Russell Wilson fast, but I don’t think he’s Lamar Jackson or Vick fast. I kinda thought he’d be in their league.

He didnt really have any scheme at all though. Reserve judgment.

Hes faster than Russ, Russ wouldnt turn the corner like Kyler did.

Haven't really had a chance to see.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Did anyone notice, Kyler didnt really get touched at all?

He’s more explosive than Wilson. Nobody is Vick fast.

DJ looked a bit hesitant. But I think it's the preseason. Loved that screen to him where DJ released and Murray threw over the defender.

DJ is going to be the focal point of the offense.

Talk about embarrassment. Yesterday, I watched the game and today I read this thread. Read many that to me were spot on, but SO MANY that were just funny. I'll pick on two guys' posts.

1. Loyalty is a Curse. And I'm going to defend him. Sure he's not a fan of K1 and K2, but most of his posts just indicate that he doesn't know a lot about football. But I'll never ignore him, because he gives me a lot of laughs. A LOT OF LAUGHS.

2. Campos. If this thread were a horse race, "The What Game Was I WATCHING" stakes. Campos would be making a late charge, but Loyalty had too big a lead and won going away.

 

[juza76]

Kyler didn't run with the intent of gaining some yards but just to avoid the pressure and throw
