Confidence in skill players

In the end, have some confidence in the skill players to get the job done. Yes, there are some young guys that still need some direction. There are players that still need to step up, but you must believe in their ability to do so.

Look no further than Palmer and Fitz. The running game, while abysmal early on, could get that boost discussed earlier if David Johnson returns.

If the Cardinals can get a healthy John Brown and J.J, Nelson, that helps. The offensive line needs to create better holes for guys like Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington.

Continue to feed the ball to guys like Ellington. He can create trouble in open space given the opportunity.

Then there is the deep threat in Jaron Brown. Eventually he is going to grab a few of those long bombs and make the opponent play. The Cardinals just need to take their shots.

Its all about balance. It may not come immediately. Who knows? The run game may not improve much going forward but they still have the offensive players that have proven in the past they can make the plays needed.
