The Arizona Cardinals are releasing S Russ Yeast from the practice squad
@PHNX_Cardinals

I guess he didn’t rise to the occasion.

His play must have been stinky.

The rest of the D was all over the opponent like a… rash, so we didn’t, ahem, knead him anymore.

 

[blindseyed]

I wonder if Darius Robinson is ready after the bye?

 

[eastcoastDave]

I think you let both of them finish this year and test the market. Then bring Budda back on a 4 year- top 10 safety contract and Conner a 2 year top 10 rb contract.

I’m stoked about the turn of events- but this team still has mega holes to fill and can make the impact way bigger in other positions.

I’m not sure they have “mega” holes to fill. Sure, they need an edge and another asset on the defensive line and help in the defensive back end. But the Cardinals have some decent players out for the year and several who will be ready to return after the bye. I think we’re in decent — but not great — shape personnel wise. And that’s good because it looks like they’ll be up pretty late in the upcoming draft, barring a total collapse.

Can someone know when this Jets game will play on NFL channel.
Thx

I looked at the replay schedule and our game wasn’t on it. Aggravating because other games are on more than once. I know it was a blowout but they sure put our game vs Commanders on.

East coast bias.

Maybe he had an infection.

They do have a mega hole at DT. Those players out for the year were terrible, and none of them, even if they get into form, are a Big John. Same goes for edge, unless Beej miraculously becomes a Big John. At ILB and in the secondary, I'm excited to say the defense is looking good.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride has a hurdling problem

He swears he's trying to quit. But like a moth to a flame, Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride just can't get away from his hurdling habits.

We do have mega holes to fill on defense. That has not changed. The good news is the draft is strong in the areas we are weak.

Offensively the holes are less glaring but present. Thankfully we have been able to use the run game to cover them up.

Just having Browning in there with the extra push make AR hurry some throws and made a big difference

Imagine having a guy that can get constant pressure and how much it will help the secondary

Both Kyler Murray and Jonathan Gannon have entered the awards-season chat. Murray is currently seventh in the MVP race on ESPN Bet at +2200. He's also third in the comeback player of the year race at +900.Murray went from 40-1 to 22-1 to win MVP after Sunday's win.
Gannon is seventh in the coach of the year race on ESPN Bet at +800. Gannon was 18-1 heading into Sunday's win over the Jets. He was 20-1 two weeks ago, 35-1 the week before that and 60-1 before their four-game winning streak.

Looking ahead, in Week 17, there are currently five games in a "pool" from which three will be selected to play on Saturday: Cardinals at Rams, Broncos at Bengals, Chargers at Patriots, Colts at Giants, Falcons at Commanders.

 

[Carolinacacti]

We can speculate but I’m not thinking about that right now. Just like I don’t believe in speculating MVP, Coach of the Year and such 10 weeks into the season.
This league is so goofy, and god forbid, we could all be crying in our beer in 4 weeks.

We still need one more win to get the over on games won this season. Who am I betting on this week?

We should be one of the three. Colts at Giants should not be. When do we know?

the holes on D will show up when the Cards play better teams.

I do believe the D has improved since the season began: the young secondary guys have really gotten better and are buying time for the rush to get to the QB.

 

[Hoodhero]

What the heck is going on with Seahawks? Starting LB and tackling leader was just waived. That's what happens when you lose to Giants @ home I guess lol

If we can get an Aaron Donald/JJ Watt or more realistically a Grady Jarrett/Fletcher Cox in the draft it will go a long way to upgrading the defense.

Great insight from Cardinals legend Carson Palmer on how James Conner wears down defenses:"When you can run the ball with an attitude like Conner does, that gets old, tackling him. That’s no fun. Guys get tired of that in the fourth quarter

@Kyle_Odegard

Carson Palmer called Budda Baker a "game-breaker" and lauded an ascending defense that otherwise lacks star power."You have 10 other guys who are super hungry. Young, fast. They do a bunch of stuff on defense. They can pretty much dial up any coverage."
