First Guess at the Cardinals’ 46 Game Day Actives QB (2) from laiyongcai92's blog

 Bradford; RosenBradford—-super efficient—-threw to 6 different receivers Youth Chandler Jones Jersey , all on the money.Rosen—-Fair Rosen has Arisen!—-impressive footwork, stepped up in pocket this week when able, threw tight-spiraled darts with relative ease. Nice trajectory on deep pass. Looked far more comfortable behind the Varsity o-line.RB (4): Johnson: Edmonds; Logan; FosterJohnson—-lowering his shoulder this year, wow—-good vision and explosion—-and they have kept him quiet thus far in the passing game, on purpose.Edmonds—-sneaky tough, keeps his feet moving on contact—-keeping him quiet in passing game too—-great double team block with Smith on RDE on Rosen TD—-great in-game adjustment by McCoy who saw RT Andre Smith needed help.Logan—-good kickoff returns.Foster—-Jack of all trades on STs.FB (1): ColemanColeman—-has been solid, but is getting tested by Penny who is landing wham blocks.WR (5): Fitzgerald, Kirk, Williams, Butler, NelsonFitzgerald—-must be drooling over the QB accuracy.Kirk—-incredibly nuanced for a rookie—-knows how to separate—-then on the goaline when the ILB came to shade him Youth Chase Edmonds Jersey , he did exactly what WRs are taught, to slide open in the opposite direction—-superb adjustment and then superb TD catch—-impressive hands—-plus is finding daylight and chunk yards on punt returns.Williams—-breakthrough game—-ran good crips routes, showed good ball concentration and made good blocks.Butler—-needs to return asap to get some good touches before game one.Nelson—-is a good deep-threat compliment to his teammates. The PI call was big.TE: (2): Seals-Jones; HolmesSeals-Jones—-got a great down block on Edmonds’ cutback run (off unbalanced line)—-they are keeping him quiet in passing game, one might imagine for a reason.Holmes—-rebounded with stronger game this week—-still needs to improve his blocking.OL (8): Humphries; Iupati; Cole: Pugh; Smith; Wetzel; Boehm; HoldenHumphries, Iupati, Cole—-working in good unison—-formed convoy for Johnson on his power TD—-formed backside wall for Rosen on his TD.Pugh—-sealed his man in textbook fashion on Rosen TD—-good pulls, needs to find blocks sooner on pulls and screens and will with flatter angles.Smith—-incosnistent—-another false start—-good down blocks—-but, giving up too much pressure on pass pro.Wetzel—-would like to see him with 1st team at RT to see if he’s an upgrade—-he’s a better RT than LT. Has been good as a blocking TE.Boehm—-played a solid game and snapped the ball with authority.Holden—-has value on STs and as another blocking TE and swing T (the coaches might go with 7 OL, but 8 is preferred).DT (4): Nkemdiche; Peters; Gunter: PierreNkemdiche—-rough game, got blown back on first run, then left with sore foot—-remains an enigma.Peters—-cramped up and then returned to have a good game Youth Josh Rosen Jersey , even sniffed out a screen.Gunter—-is playing hard, but needs to improve his production.Pierre—-Cards making end-of half-sacks, big-time this week with Pierre’s at end of first half.ILB (4): Reddick; Wright; Hodges; GardeckReddick—-has been excellent on the edge—-in the middle, he drifts into traffic too soon at times—is making a fair share of plays on the ball—-nice interception off tip drill—-is well suited for this defense.Wright—-has to get off blocks harder and faster—-has been surprisingly active and productive in pass coverage—-made the saving trip-up tackle on the Saints’ big kickoff return.Hodges—-he’s an instant fit because he’s reading his keys and storming his gaps.Gardeck—-got some blitz pressure and is one of the more aggressive tacklers on the defense and STs.DE (4): Jones; Mayowa; Dora; SmithJones—-making a good transition from 34OLB to 43DE.Mayowa—-had some pressures this week and is playing physically versus the run—-needs to make more plays on the ball.Dora—-is the Johnny-on-the-spot—-very active feet and good ball awareness—-2 fumble recoveries.Smith—-showing upside as edge rusher.CB (4): Peterson; Taylor; Benwikere; NicholsPeterson—-made a good, strong tackle on Ingram on first play—-is not getting tested much yet regardless of man or zone.Taylor—-gives up a little cushion at times, but is reacting well and quickly to the ball.Benwikere—-textbook deep, cushion coverage on Ginn, high pointed the ball a la Pat P. and got both feet down. Might be the best surprise of the pre-season.Nichols—-making tackles on STs and showing progress in coverage.S (5): Baker; Bethea; Boston; Ford; TurnerBaker—-looking good in the slot and forcing the run from the SS spot.Bethea—-missed tackle on Ingram on first play, but solid the rest of the way.Boston—-very active in coverage—-would like to see him be more aggressive versus the run.Ford—-showcasing speed and aggressiveness in sub packages and on STs.Turner—-either he or D.J Foster will get this last STs spot—-both are playing well.ST (3): McCrane; Brewer; LeeMcCrane—-53 yarder displayed his accuracy and leg strength (on kickoffs too where Dawson’s were repeatedly short).Brewer—-solid veteran.Lee—-nice hang time this week.Rounding Out the 53:QB—-KanoffT—-CunninghamWR—-TolliverDE—-CapiLB—-BucannonLB—-BynesCB—-CampbellPUP:TE—-GreshamDE—-GoldenIR:C—-ShipleyLB—-CashPractice Squad:WR—-SherfieldWR—-WillisFB—-PennyG—-AllenTE—-VollertDE—-JamesLB—-RobinsonLB—-OplingerCB—-ThomasS—-HowardDeone Bucannon misses Friday practice with hyper-extended knee, will have MRI It was the first scare of training camp, but from early reports Black Markus Golden Jersey , it should be nothing.In Thursday’s padded training camp, the most physical of the Steve Wilks era, linebacker Deone Bucannon took a helmet to the knee trying to avoid a sliding Brice Butler:It was brushed off as not a big deal, but at today’s closed practice session, Bucannon was not a participant:That of course would be the first question that needed addressing when Steve Wilks stepped up to the podium after the team finished practice today.Wilks addressed the Bucannon absence and hopefully put everyone’s mind at ease, but not completely out of the woods yet:So, we wait for those wondrous NRI results while wondering if this is just a close call or another unfortunate injury during training camp.We’ll have an update as soon as it is in, but hopefully this is nothing but precaution from the Arizona Cardinals.
