The first drive was fun until Jacoby Brissett struck again.<\/p>\n
His inability to finish drives continues to be an issue, and he\u2019s missed a number of throws over the middle the last two weeks, all of that is why the Arizona Cardinals trail 10-3 at the half.<\/p>\n
But I go back to what I\u2019ve said since he started, this was inevitable. You can\u2019t ask your QB to take 10-plus hits a game and expect him to continue to perform at a high level.<\/p>\n
This is the Cardinals offense almost completely healthy by the way. Only the running backs are missing and the change at right tackle was what everyone wanted to see.<\/p>\n
The issue is that when you\u2019re getting repeatedly pummeled, you start to get gunshy. We are seeing that.<\/p>\n
The other issue is the Cardinals defense needs to make a big play, not just plays.<\/p>\n
The offense isn\u2019t good. They run more plays than any other team in the NFL, but they don\u2019t score, so all those yards are really meaningless when you aren\u2019t scoring points at the end.<\/p>\n
Can they start to convert in the second half? Let\u2019s hope so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first drive was fun until Jacoby Brissett struck again.
