These may well be the 2 strongest Cardinal positions.

The top 4 RBs are no brainers. Connor, Benson, Demercado & Dallas were all productive. It took Benson awhile to acclimate, but he came on solid. I anticipate he will improve even more. He’s has breakaway ability if he gets loose in the secondary.

Tight End is a little trickier. The Cards carried 4. I carry 3 and put a couple on the practice squad. McBride stays unchanged but hopefully is targeted consistently in every game. That said, Higgins deserves more targets. He’s tough to bring down, has decent hands and knows where the line to gain is. Reiman has the potential to become one of the best blocking TEs in the game. He’s also is a better short yardage receiver than he’s being given credit for.

Deejay Dallas needs to stay away from In and Out Burger. Have you ever seen a fatter return man? He's been eating well this year.

I think Dallas is a good ST and maybe an adequate short yardage guy, but Carter is far more useful to the roster, as shown by the staff in the last game and the guy played well. Set with Connor, Benson and Demercado. Benson looked like a different back later on and I breathed a sigh of relief till the injury. Believe K9 made that observation and size of the player can be tricky in predicting injury. Remember Stump Mitchell with the Cards and the guy was a diminutive back at about 185 pounds, but he ran physical and if memory serves me correct was always available

TE is set. McBride is elite, Higgins is good and not just average but hard to acknowledge next to Trey, and Reiman can block and actually seems not bad at catching. Dare I say this is the best TE group in franchise history next to when the Cards had Novacek and Awalt
