In the first half of their Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears from laiyongcai92's blog

Arizona Cardinal Authentic Patrick Peterson Jersey fans were given a showcase of what competent play-calling and quarterback play can look like. Before crashing down and losing their 14-0 lead, the team rejoiced after the Cardinals’ greatest weapon, David Johnson, got his first receiving touchdown of the year.Here’s a breakdown of the touchdown.This is a scissors concept in a Shotgun Doubles formation from the Cardinals. Sam Bradford motions Larry Fitzgerald into the offensive line in order to chip away at the pass rush before running a drag route into the middle of the field. The two outside receivers run deep post routes. Jermaine Gresham is lined up as a tight end on the right side of the offensive line and runs a flat route. Johnson runs a corner route from the backfield.The Bears are playing Cover 1. It’s man-to-man coverage with a single high safety and linebacker Roquan Smith playing a soft zone in the middle of the field, working off Bradford’s eyes. Following the snap, Johnson looks to be running a flat route Youth Robert Nkemdiche Jersey , taking his coverage linebacker, Danny Trevathan a bit far too outside. When Trevathan sees Johnson run vertically he attempts to recover but he’s already out of position. Sensing he’s been beat, Trevathan holds onto DJ in order to slow him down. Johnson runs to the corner in order to keep his matchup 1-on-1 with the linebacker and away from the deep safety. The man coverage keeps everyone occupied with their own receivers and far away enough from Johnson where he can work in open space. Any players that can aid Trevathan after he’s been beat are preoccupied. Smith, who backpedals after the snap, would be moving onto Fitzgerald’s drag route. Safety Eddie Jackson is dealing with the deep post routes coming at him in the end zone.It was encouraging to see the two largest factors working against the Cardinals offense, Bradford and McCoy Youth Ricky Seals-Jones Jersey , break out of their regular tendencies for this play to happen. Bradford ignores his open checkdowns, both Fitzgerald and Gresham are open but he opts for the primary receiver Johnson. And McCoy who hasn’t called many, if any routes for his running backs, allowed DJ to finally to run deep. Unfortunately, McCoy and Bradford’s success was short lived as we saw in the second half. With the Bradford era over in Arizona, we’ll have to wait and see how the play-calling adapts to Josh Rosen’s strengths. I don’t need to re-hash what happened against the Rams. You are aware. It was ugly. So looking ahead Youth Justin Pugh Jersey , I’ll give you three Cardinals that need to bounce back Sunday against the Bears.The offensive lineThat’s right. The entire starting five. This is why it’s ever tough to take stock in what you see during the preseason. The starters looked much improved in a couple quarters worth of action. Now that it’s the real deal, each one of the starters have played poorly. Here is Aaron Donald against the Cardinals last week:Things will be equally as difficult against the Bears. Chicago has the most sacks of any defense in the league. They are stout across the front line. Against Seattle the Bears had eight QB hits and 6 sacks. If Arizona wants to cross mid-field, the entire starting line will need to be better.Mike McCoyI know the offensive line is bad. There are ways to at least scheme out of it. That hasn’t happened enough from offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. One of the most common misconceptions about play-action is that you need a successful run game for it to work. That’s not the case. McCoy sure seems to think so. He’s used it on an NFL low 6% of the time. The NFL average is right around 20%. Running it on early downs could go a long way in both getting Sam Bradford some confidence giving him some easy throws as well as being able to loosen up the defense. The team is averaging 4.7 more yards per play when it runs play-action. That’s the fifth biggest differential in the NFL.The offense is lacking creativity and isn’t putting it’s best players in a position to succeed. You don’t need to run 100 different types of plays to be successful. Look at the Rams, for example. Sean McVay and company run the same handful of plays but use several different motions and formations. That’s creativity.Jamar TaylorIf Arizona is smart Patrick Peterson will follow Allen Robinson into the bathroom. If Peterson continues to play on the left side, like he has 70% of the time this year, Taylor will have a big target on his back. Against the Rams Taylor gave up some big chunk plays. He couldn’t run with Brandin Cooks Cheap Mason Cole Jersey , and he couldn’t stay with Cooper Kupp. He has to be better. Taylor was never a star, but he’s played much better than what he showed last week. The Bears second and third options are the shiftier type. Taylor will need to be prepared for both the deep shots, and ready to tackle underneath. If he’s not able to, he won’t be starting for much longer.
