The Cardinals offense, although seemingly sputters at times, has actually moved the ball as of late. Running back David Johnson rushed for 103-yards last week in Minnesota.
He had a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown but it wasn’t enough. The Cardinals offensive line could not save Palmer last week while trying to drive for a game-winning score.
This week the Cardinals are going to move right tackle D.J. Humphries over to left tackle. Seems like a bold move this late in the season. Without Jared Veldheer and John Wetzel struggling, you can’t blame the Cardinals for trying something.
There is some uncertainty about the status of receiver Michael Floyd. He has been bothered by a hamstring injury. The Cardinals waived receiver Chris Hubert and moved receiver Marquis Bundy to the active roster on Friday. Floyd is a game-time decision according to Arians.
Palmer has played sporadically as of late. He seems to be able to move the ball when given time to throw but when having to play from behind like he did last week and in Carolina a few weeks ago, things haven’t turned out well.
He played well in Carolina but made a couple of big mistakes last week in Minnesota. Most notable of mistakes was the 100-yard interception return for touchdown by Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes. It appears Palmer and receiver John Brown were not on the same page.
