Murray much sharper taking what's given and not trying making things happen that don't exist. Minimal yfl today.
Good work throwing receivers open. The passes to Cooper and DJ were perfect in big situations.

Much better balanced play calling by Coach K. Implemented the TE's and Johnson very well in the pass game. Utilizing Edmund's and getting the payoff. Utilizing Murray in called rushes, and Murray running both smartly and fearlessly.

OL made good strides. Aikens was pretty much controlled and the running game is showing some promise. Better overall PassPro.

Now if the D could only figure out coverage schemes and how to get home more consistently on blitzes. Baker seems misplaced and a non factor too often.

Getting Damiere Byrd back should help. Isabella was a hope there too.
Still don't know why we haven't thrown one screen to Andy. We haven't run one play that allows Andy to get a free release and used as a crosser.

I get he's not ready to run the full route tree, but we can use him for SOMETHING other than reverses right?

One would think at least once?

For DJ and Chase to gain 5+ ypc both as ballcarriers and receivers requires an OL that can open up holes. at the LOS. Have to believe it''s as much us as it was them.

I am curious to see the snap counts of this game compared to last game. Kinda nerdy how curious I am.

Liked the design of some of the run plays today. This offense is far better than last year. Just need to improve the red zone issues and reduce the penalties. I would like one game where the defense doesn’t fold so dam easy after every score we have.

The play call at the end of the first half was terrible. I feel we left at least 11 points out there. And that’s a conservation observation.
At least it wasn't the SB. ;)

KK working things out though. It's a WIP. Still inexperienced as an NFL HC.

Note: Packers just had 1st and goal from the 1 yard line and had to kick a FG. That could've put that game away.

The one thing I’m at totally encouraged about is Kingsbury is subtly adapting changes in scheme , packages and use of the weapons he has.

Me too. This is one reason I was pretty comfortable with the Cardinals hiring him. He has concepts that he believes in, but he has never seemed too proud to adjust personnel packages to execute those concepts.

RSJ/Hakeem Butler

Both BIG targets who could have helped our redzone issues, but were cut/IR for what exactly? and a 3 week contract for Michael Crabtree. Can't make this stuff up.

To be fair Clay and William's made RSJ expendable. Both are better all around TE's.

Butler like Isabella just isn't ready for prime time just yet. Too many drops in camp and unpolished routes. We'll see later on if they can do the work and take the steps necessary. Only a matter of time for Isabella.

I think RSJ potential > Clay at this point in his career.

We'd also have another big target for Kyler to throw over the middle. Williams is one of the best blocking TE's in the league so I get the need for him.

We shoud have kept 3 TE's
