The Texarkana Gazette is the premier source for local news and sports in Texarkana and the surrounding Arklatex areas. September 2. 01. 7As the teams official website noted, when he was in a rhythm, quarterback Carson Palmer was excellent on Monday night against the Cowboys, but those moments were too few and far between as the game moved along. After a hot start, the Cardinals offense slowed down considerably the final three quarters, in large part due to below average protection. Palmer was sacked six times and pressured many more, limiting a passing game which was finally finding its footing. We had guys open at times and just didnt get them because we couldnt throw the ball, head coach Bruce Arians said. The coach was pleased with Palmer, however. I dont think our quarterback could have played any better, Arians said of the veteran signal caller after the game. He was lights out from the start to finish.

Even getting hit that many times, he moved his feet great. He was sound around the pocket. He added This is the best Ive seen him in about two or three years. While Arians didnt lay blame on individual players, the right side of the line, featuring Evan Boehm and Jared Veldheer, seemed like the weak link for a second straight week. Cowboys defensive end De. Marcus Lawrence had three sacks and six quarterback hits, and he was often lined up against Veldheer. Veldheer is a veteran who found a lot of success at left tackle in the past but is struggling after a position switch. I need to block my guy, Veldheer said. It doesnt matter where I am. My job is to block the guy. Palmer finished the game 2. Left tackle D. J. Humphries and left guard Mike Iupati didnt play in the games due to injuries, which also contributed to the struggles. We will keep working, Palmer said. If theres any good news, GM Steve Keim said its that Humphries and Iupati might be ready to come back and play this Sunday against the visiting 4. Arians didnt sound so sure about that. Ill believe it when I see it, he said. All those guys that have missed time, I want to see them out there in practice at a very high level before I think they can play in this game. Team Notes week 4 2017 Fantasy Football, Bob Harris previews each NFL team players going into week 4. Meanwhile, the Palmer to Larry Fitzgerald connection was on point against the Cowboys. As ESPN. coms Josh Weinfuss put it, On Monday night, with the eyes of the NFL and the nation on the game, Fitzgerald turned in one of the best performances of his career, tying a career high with 1. It was Fitzgeralds first time with at least 1. Week 1. 7 of the 2. San Francisco. Thats Fitz, Arians said. Thats Monday night. The Lost Templar. Hes a Monday player. It was a great performance by him. Its a shame we couldnt play better around him. Weinfuss went on to suggest that when Palmer and Fitzgerald are in sync, the offense finds a rhythm. It moves. It opens up for other players. When Palmer has to look elsewhere, things change. While Palmer completed 1. Fitzgerald, he completed 1. Monday night. He averaged 9. Fitzgerald and 5. At times, despite Palmer and Fitzgerald being on the same page, they didnt get help from their own teammates. After Palmer threw to Fitzgerald five times on Arizonas second drive of the game, Phil Dawson missed a 3. But when Fitzgerald and Palmer were on, there were few things inside University of Phoenix Stadium that could slow either one. They connected on Palmers first 1. Fitzgerald, including a 1. On that drive, two of the three plays were to Fitzgerald. But Fitzgerald didnt think he was in for a big day based on his early production. Skystar 2 Driver For Windows 8. I dont think it has anything to do with it, Fitzgerald said. Usually, my numbers are scripted calls early in games. Like last week, the Colts played schemes where it wasnt capable to get opportunities, and that just happens from time to time. That is just ball. Sometimes you are going to have some looks and other times it is just not there. They were there plenty on Monday night. As NFL. com notes, with a relatively friendly slate of games coming up against the 4. Eagles, Buccaneers, Rams and 4. Cardinals could easily slip back into contention and make us forget about their disappointing 2. Arians thinks Palmer is already well on his way to doing so. In a related note. According to ESPN, Palmers 1. Cardinals made him just the fourth quarterback in league history with triple digit touchdown passes with two different teams. Palmer also threw 1. Bengals. The other three were Kurt Warner 1. Rams and 1. 00 with the Cardinals, Fran Tarkenton 2. Vikings and 1. 03 with the Giants and Peyton Manning 3. Colts and 1. 40 Broncos. Other notes of interest. As Profootballtalk. Three things became clear on Monday night when the Cardinals had the ball 1 Fitzgerald is still great 2 the Arizona offensive line isnt and 3 the team really misses David Johnson. They wont have David Johnson for a while. For now, Chris Johnson will remain the starter. Thats what Arians said Tuesday, via Darren Urban of the teams official website. Johnson had 1. 7 yards on 1. Cowboys. Andre Ellington had 2. Johnson had one catch, for four yards. While Johnson will be the starter, Arians admitted the veteran looked a little rusty against the Cowboys and the coach hinted that Ellington might see more time in the backfield this Sunday against the visiting 4. Andre looked very much more comfortable. I thought Andre looked very fast in the game, Arians said. Asked if Ellington can be effective running between the tackles or if the player still projects more as a third down back in passing situations, which is what he was when the season started, Arians said, Andres always been effective. When he was our guy, 8. Were not a perimeter running team anyways. Beyond that, Kerwynn Williams had only one carry for three yards on Monday night. Those who made speculative free agent plays for Williams should feel free to move on if need be. Still dealing with a quad injury, John Brown worked out before Monday nights game, but his status for Sunday remains uncertain. Ill be following up via Late Breaking Update as the week progresses. And finally. Kicker Phil Dawson has missed three field goal attempts in his first three games a 3. Detroit in Week 1, a 4. Indianapolis in Week 2 and a 3. Monday night against Dallas. Asked to explain what might be wrong with the 4. Arians was perplexed. Youd have to ask Phil, Arians said Tuesday. Im not a kicking expert and Im as shocked as anybody that he has three misses this year when hes only had three misses for like the last couple years. Keim also weighed in on the subject during his weekly radio appearance on the teams flagship station. Well, like any other position, when you dont produce theres always concern, Keim said. Now what gives me confidence is Phils body of work, the fact that hes been such a consistent kicker for his entire career. Sports News Articles Scores, Pictures, Videos.
