Reviewing their last two games, I’m not sure why Arizona didn’t substitute #4 QB Rodriguez for the clearly injured #14 QB Tate a lot earlier. He manages the offense pretty admirably and is a better fit for OC Mazzone’s offense. A few examples of his best play:
On the first play, #19 WR Poindexter (who’s 6’5”, yikes) runs a simple stop route against Utah’s soft coverage - the defense figures it can bring him down for a minimal gain but it’s not that easy. Also note that if Rodriguez pump-faked it he might have drawn the OLB off and gotten him a bigger play to #6 WR Brown, but there’s no time for that as the 5-man rush is collapsing the line so he just gets the ball off quickly.
