That's probably situational dependent. We have to pass the ball against Zona. Zona has a stout run defense.

This is the way. Zero reason to start Winston unless he's 100% healthy

Dalton has the longest loosing streak in Primetime games.

If Taysom doesn't get at least 10 snaps at QB in the 1st half... I'm gonna buy a FIF at half time, find some fireworks... and see where the rest of the night takes me.

We have a stout run defense…but can’t stop a running QB worth horse crap. You test them early with Taysom and see what happens.

It depends. If qb power is working in the first half, I don’t expect to see much of Taysom in the 2nd half.

Just buy it now because you know what Carmichael's gonna do.

We don't... We are allowing 120 yards rushing per game.


That's the situation dependent match-up that I implied. We gotta see how they handle him. If we aren't eating early.... I see us abandoning it.

Roasted Cardinal is on the menu tonight!

Did Dalton shave his mustache off? (Just joking)

We did the past few years…but couldn’t stop a QB running. That’s my point…just because the Cards can stop a RB doesn’t mean they’ll do just as well against Taysom. And if the Cards are good against the run it makes sense to be creative on your running downs. Running Kamara up the gut, on the contrary.

I don't know... it feels like the running game isn't that creative. We have some creative plays, but we never seem to put together really creative sets. We just beat some lighter teams badly. If we do some predictable interior runs and power Taysom to the right side.... I don't have much hope on opening up the running game.

I would be perfectly happy to be wrong and we can run with authority.
