Blinkscout Game 7 in London ... Cardinals ...

Honestly it's harder to do these when we're winning ... I have no idea why. Feels foreign.

Now to be fair, there wasn't much hope after Carson left. Also, seriously, how many times have we injured Carson Palmer?


The Great

1) Brockers. I haven't had him this high, and I think this was his best game. Honestly, he and Donald are both playing like pro bowlers.

2) Barron being sure handed ...

3) Turning the game off before it's over ... for a GOOD reason.

4) Run blocking. I can't believe we are playing with any of the players we had last year.

5) AP 11 for 21? WOW.


The Good

6) Blythe coming in and not missing a beat. If he can play, we'll save ourselves a freaking draft pick next year.

7) Getting Sammy some touches.

8) Robert Woods being Mr. dependable.

9) Gurley's TDs are always highlight reel plays ... seriously compiling just the TDs would be a great watch.

10) Kavon Webster has been steadily making plays. He's not a #1 ... but he's likely a solid 2.

11) JJ3 with another solid game.

12) Quinn with a smart amount of high quality reps.

13) The announcers even mentioned how well Smart is playing.

14) I think we've found our Punt Returner.

15) Appropriate use of Tavon, albeit for wayyyyy overpaying.

16) Shutouts are always impressive.


The Bad

17) Kupp's jitters. I know he'll get himself calmed down ... but I'd hate to lose another game because he's shaky.

18) Goff and Sammy still not quite together on deep balls ... hopefully they get that dealt with this week.

19) Goff still seems to be locking on to a target every 3-4 passes ... and missing open guys while passing to someone covered.



Next Game

20) Giants will be a good test. They can play defense.


College

21) Courtland Sutton and Simmie Cobbs may be the beginning of the next wave of athletes at the WR position. They each look like Megatron and play with an edge.

22) I've finally eased on my grudge against rusher Josh Sweat on FSU ... he was everywhere this last weekend against Lamar Jackson.

23) There are going to be high quality 5 techs throughout this draft too ...

24) I'm still going edgeLB/CB unless Vea or Wilkins drops to us in the 20s (Not freaking likely).


Anyways, thanks as always for reading. Thoughts and comments welcome. Note: I am more likely to forget things that happened in wins, need to write these up the day of form now on.
