keys to beating the Cardinals

The Cardinals are not a formidable team. All it would take to beat them is a defensive scheme that is designed to bottle up their elusive QB. Other than that one dimension, they are an average team. Back when the Rams had London Fletcher, he was a fast, heat-seeking, tackling machine that would put a stop to players like Kyler Murray. In a one-on-one matchup with London Fletcher, Michael Vick didn't have a chance. When pursuing such a QB, it is vital to forget about the pass -- the biggest mistake of all is to fall for the pump fake. Pursue them like a runner, bottle them up, and don't allow an open lane to develop. Any top team (including the Rams) should be able to beat the Cardinals handily with such a game plan for the defense. I might pull the middle linebacker and install a smart, fast, and sure-tackling safety in that position to prevent runs up the middle from the pocket.
