During yesterday’s Red Rain Podcast, special guest Marcos Labrada (AZSorts Underground) and I talked about how Kyler Murray’s slide 1⁄2 a yard short of the first down versus Philly and subsequent spiking of the football on 3rd down (thinking it was 1st down) was a play that has epitomized the Cardinals’ 4-8 season, to date.
An ESPN crew (Mike Greenberg, Ryan Clark, Rex Ryan and Dan Orlovsky) broke down the highlights of the game and spoke at length about the Cardinals’ woeful 2 minute drill gaffes. Having just reviewed their analysis and discussion of the game highlights, I think there are a number of comments we can make regarding every play they showcased —— and, in doing so, it can remind us of a number of the Cardinals’ shortcomings —- shortcomings that cannot continue to happen if the Cardinals are going to compete for division titles, playoff berths and championships.
