With that moment, and the ensuing game, Johnson put the most trying offseason of his career in the rearview mirror. Chris Johnson’s best days are behind him, though the team has said it is impressed with what he’s done since joining Arizona. “And I’m like, ‘Man, preseason has started and I’m still at home on the couch or whatever, ‘ it was insane”.

Darren Fells makes a case for Cardinals” tight end talent “People worry about our tight end room and I’m like, “You’ve got to be kidding me, ‘” Arians said.
Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington likely suffered a PCL injury against the Saints Sunday, but quarterback Carson Palmer is hopeful for his return. Veteran Chris Johnson took over as Arizona’s primary running back when Ellington went down.
Johnson scored a TD on his only reception of the night that he took back to the house for 7 points and 55 yards. “Just continue to practice hard and be ready”. With Cardinals right tackle Bobby Massie out, however, New Orleans needed more from Jordan against Arizona backup Earl Watford. “Nothing needs to be changed, we just go out there and do what we’re supposed to do”.
“I think (the screen pass) applies some weeks”. “He hit his holes”. Coordinator Rob Ryan’s unit was littered with young players Sunday, as rookies saw significant snaps at all three levels.
Palmer led the way for the Cardinals, offensively, in the first half, completing 12-of-20 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown, while Ellington had 30 rushing yards, including a touchdown, with Brown hauling in 4 catches for 46 yards, including a touchdown. I think that’s too many big plays don’t you? However, the former Tennessee Titans star earned just 37 yards on ten carries in a subpar performance against a run defense he should have done better against, as Ellington had no trouble carving the Saints up for 5.8 yards per carry. The Cardinals could run out the clock if they could get a first down. “We haven’t had one of these nights in a long time”. Ellington is a versatile and explosive dual threat who had 12 carries for 69 yards and one catch for seven yards before getting hurt Sunday. Still, the crowd of 6,064, one of the largest of the season, was energetic on Fan Appreciation Day and stood and cheered well after the final buzzer. It’s a role he is familiar with, and one he may very well have to reprise.

I mean, I’m sure that a James Graham, or a Jim Graham, could be walking down Bourbon Street right now with a tall, alcoholic slushie drink, but nobody on the Saints seems close to replacing the production or matchup nightmare that is the Jimmy Graham.
