It was the Cards....so we need to put a filter on these results. CJ showed great football smarts. His "waggle"really seemed to keep defenders on their heels. He is clearly not very fast....so I can't figure out why defenders seemed so perplexed. But in the end....it was all about CJ pounding through the first contact.
One other item that came out of this game...and I have been a Kelly fan up to this point. I am still a Kelly fan....but man...he looked small in this game. I think he is two inches taller than CJ...but he doesn't have the bulk that CJ has. The way this game set up....it was a ground and pound game. That set up well for CJ's style. Kelly is more of an open field, cut and slash type of player. McVay would be smart to activate all of Gurley (assuming healthy), CJ, and Kelly. He will have a weapon in his arsenal to use....regardless of how the opposing defense set up.
