Feed Chris Johnson. Don’t overwork the running back though. The Cardinals will need to remember he isn’t David Johnson.

Still they should beat the Cowboys if they are able to get Johnson the ball at least 15 times on the ground at at least four to five yards per carry. Johnson looked fresh last week in Indianapolis.

He was used more than the Cardinals originally planned. Kerwynn Williams struggled a little and Andre Ellington was a virtual non-factor.

Now that Johnson has been back for almost two weeks, it is time to start giving him the ball more. He Carried 11 times for 44-yards against the Indianapolis Colts.

Broncos running back C.J. Anderson ran for 118-yards on them last week. There is no reason that Johnson can’t approach 100-yards either. If the offensive line can give him some room and Johnson can hang onto the ball, it could be a good night in Glendale for the 10-year back.
