Deep passing options

The Cardinals want to continue to try to feed Michael Floyd.  For a moment it appeared he was coming out of his funk on Sunday night.  Then, he let everyone down once again.

It has become a head game with Floyd.  He dropped a completely wide open pass that would have given the Cardinals a first down in overtime deep in Seattle territory.

Quarterback Carson Palmer isn’t even looking for him as an option downfield much anymore.  You just can’t trust him right now.

It isn’t talent.  Some believe it is.  However Floyd is very talented.  The confidence is low and it’s now all mental for Floyd.

The big issue is the Cardinals may not have a choice but to use him more given injuries to both John Brown and Jaron Brown.  Jaron Brown is now out for the season.

The guy that the Cardinals should start relying on for the big play is J.J. Nelson.  Not only can the kid fly, but he has good hands and takes good routes to give himself space to run.
