What happened in today’s Cardinals game?The introduction had some fans excited in Rosen’s first game under offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. The defense would see a new look as well with a still injured Tre Boston on the sideline.In addition
Cheap Chase Edmonds Jersey , TJ Logan was expected to get the ball on kick returns and even possibly on offense.Mike McCoy’s playcalling has been notoriously bad, even bad enough other teams seem to have taken notice...to humorous effect.How would Arizona perform in their first game under Leftwich?Well...Well...The game didn’t start all that well.The Niners ended up struggling on offense as well, but still put up some points and landed a safety to make it a baseball score game, to say the least.The Niners struggled converting in the red zone as well, even off of a Rosen interception.Which, if we’re playing baseball is....uh...yeah.I’ll leave the rest of NFL Twitter’s dunks on this game to this article right here if you want to take a look.Still, it’s miles ahead of where they’ve been, right?Then things seemed to start to turn around....and Arizona was looking for some momentum in the 2nd half by getting David Johnson involved in the screen game for the first time all season!In fact, Leftwich made use of Arizona’s top two players very well in this game overall.More on that later.Unfortunately, the 3rd quarter reared its ugly head again for Arizona’s defense and the much maligned Patrick Peterson got beat by the speedy Marquise Goodwin for a score for San Francisco to take a 15-3 lead and the game was starting to seem out of reach.But lo and behold the 4th quarter arrived and with it, a chance for the Cardinals, beginning with a sustained drive that was capped off by a Larry Fitzgerald TD:The team almost got ruined by a TERRIBLE fumble by Jermaine Gresham...Still
Youth D.J. Humphries Jersey , Arizona managed to come away from it and thanks to a big play by Budda Baker, got a chance at redemption with 2 timeouts and the two minute warning left down by 5 points.After that, Rosen led a drive that nearly had a touchdown to JJ Nelson (to be fair Richard Sherman made a heck of an effort to break it up)And then on 3rd down it was rookie-to-rookie for the go-ahead score:But only up by one, Arizona needed to go for two to avoid losing on a field goal.So they went to Larry Legend who got it in...and then did the unthinkable:He celebrated.For maybe the first time in his career?!?It broke Cardinals twitter.There was a reason behind it too: a lot of frustration and joy from overcoming all the losing and his son’s own disinterest in the team this week as well.Larry joked about it post-game as well:Perhaps it’s just a meaningless celebration for a 2-6 team but hey, it’s not often you see something from a 15 year NFL veteran you’ve never seen before, right?And Arizona stopped the Niners (or rather they stopped themselves) but really everything was coming up Rosen for the Cards after that on social media...cause he balled out when it counted.Warning: Language below as Larry Fitzgerald even joked about the expletive post-game.All in all the two best ways to sum up this game:Twitter had fun with how bad it was, only for it to turn out exciting and now going into the bye, all fans will be doing is looking forward to the future and what Josh Rosen and Byron Leftwich can bring.Particularly Leftwich, who looks to be off to a fantastic start.YouYou can follow @blakemurphy7 on Twitter.Mike Mitchell coming in for visit and physical with Arizona Cardinals The Arizona Cardinals are now on Terry Time.With GM Steve Keim on a 5-week sabbatical due to his extreme DUI, the Arizona Cardinals are relying on their strong personnel department to handle everything in his abscence.That includes finding the yearly “Keim Time” signing just before or right after the start of training camp.Well, it looks like they are on their way to that, as Walter Mitchell favorite
Cheap David Johnson Jersey , Mike Mitchell is on his way to Arizona for a visit with the team.The 31 year old, nine year veteran safety is looking for one last stop on his career tour that has included time with the Oakland Raiders, a year with the Carolina Panthers and then four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.Mitchell played 738 snaps for the Steelers in 2017, grading out with a 71.2 Pro Football Focus grade along the way, but it was characterized by some as his worst season with the team.The biggest issue with Mitchell at this point is whether or not he can stay healthy for an entire season.So, bringing in Mitchell to fill the role of Tyvon Branch and Budda Baker last year, a part time, close to full time player, may be a fit.Only if he gets back to his 2016 form though, where he had a very solid season for the Steelers.
