The Arizona Cardinals lost a practice squad
player
Youth Mason Cole Jersey , as the Dallas Cowboys have poached newly signed practice squad safety Darian Thompson onto their active roster.The move will
open up a practice squad spot, maybe Deatrick Nichols, for the Cardinals, while
also helping the Cowboys find a new safety to help their hurting
defense.Thompson started all 16 games in 2017, finishing with 75 tackles, six
pass deflections, and an interception.For the Cardinals, the loss of Thompson
may mean Nichols
Youth Larry Fitzgerald Jersey , or even a player like Trent Sherfield if the Cardinals bring on a Rishard Matthews type at wide receiver.Maybe the
Cardinals go out and take a look at some available free agents as well.While
Thompson had only a week in the desert, it will be interesting to see how he
plays moving over to Dallas, as he was a former third round pick with plenty of
starting experience.For the Cardinals, I am interested how they fill this
practice squad spot since Thompson was one of the higher profile practice squad
signings I can remember since D.J. Swearinger. The Arizona Cardinals came into
their home stadium desperate for a win after they dropped to 0-3 after the Bears
came from behind for a victory last week in Josh Rosen’s first action in the
NFL.The Seattle Seahawks were coming in after beating the Cowboys previously.How
did the game play out?Let’s take a look:The game started with a loud eruption of
cheers for the team’s new rookie franchise quarterback taken 10th overall in
this year’s draft and the team’s franchise player:The game opened up with a
touchdown drive for Seattle and a LOT of running the ball, so the Cardinals were
down early.The first drive for Arizona didn’t go so well. Then, Rosen seemed to
get in a rhythm and took off with some dimes:And...some rookie decisions.But
mostly the drops.Oh goodness, the drops...Video of just how wide open JJ Nelson
was below:Ouch.There were probably 7 drops by Arizona receivers today, if not
more and that included two from Larry Fitzgerald of all people.The Cardinals
defense ended up taking advantage of Seattle failing to complete third downs
through the air and Rosen led a few nice drives
http://www.authenticsarizonacardinals.com/cheap-phil-dawson-jersey , which started to set the crowd alight.The kid looked good.That drive was
including a David Johnson Touchdown and a record that continues to be set by
DJ:It also led to one of the funniest referee penalties in quite some time due
to the noise factor in State Farm Stadium causing an offsides penalty:In other
comedic terms, after running for a first down, Josh Rosen reached out to a
Seahawks player for a hand up.He was promptly snubbed.Rookie mistake, maybe?At
halftime, the Cardinals took a lead in at the half for the second week in a
row:The second half began and so, again, did Arizona’s 2nd half offensive
woes.Yes, the drops continued for Arizona
http://www.authenticsarizonacardinals.com/cheap-jamar-taylor-jersey , however, no matter how well Rosen played.This is all happening while the
majority of Twitter was dunking on how bad Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy’s
scheme was:Harsh.At halftime Arizona took a lead for the second week in a
row:The game finally took a turn in the Cards’ favor when Josh Rosen drove the
team down the field and finally threw his first career touchdown pass in the
National Football League as a member of the Arizona Cardinals to Chad
Williams:But when Rosen’s career with the Cardinals began, one Seahawks player
possibly met the end of his.Earl Thomas on the very above play suffered a
severe, serious non-contact leg injury and was carted off the field (flipping
off his own sideline as he was doing so)The Cardinals held the lead, but their
offense stumbled along the stretch and Seattle climbed back into a tie game.It
came down to Rosen in a 17-10 game to drive the team down the field for a game
winning field goal.And he threw a few dimes as he did so:In the end, Mike McCoy
and Steve Wilks decided to be conservative and run the ball on 3rd and 6 to
David Johnson and kick the field goal with Seattle having only one time out left
to go up 20-10.Oops.Welp.And of course, the Seahawks did what they do best and
snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, despite an NFL rookie outplaying a 7
year veteran quarterback in Russell Wilson for the majority of the day.All in
all this sums up how fans feel:Does that fit with reality?Maybe and maybe
not.Sure you can obviously say the coaching was what cost them the
game
Youth Chandler Jones Jersey , but so did drops, protections, lack of defense and penalties.But at the end of the day, fans will remember this most of
all: the coaches taking the ball out of his hands after he had such an
impressive day and the team ended up in a loss:What did you think,
