Running quarterbacks can put defenses in a real bind. Murray carried the ball 140 times for 1,001 yards and 12 touchdowns last season at the University of Oklahoma. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton can be inaccurate, but he still won league MVP and led Carolina to the Super Bowl in 2015 because...

Kyler Murray’s skillset is electric, but in order to be a star in the NFL, the Cardinals’ rookie quarterback must handle the mental demands of the position. Through two games, the returns have been impressive. The No. 1 overall pick completed 25-of-40 passes for 349 yards against the Ravens...

“That was (Kyler’s) first year out of high school and he had never lost a game. Always started,” Allen said. “I started in the beginning of the year and they would put him in for some run packages. Then he started a couple games and I started the last couple. I think for both of us it was just...

I am absolutely encouraged by Murray's start and what they can do in the air, although they do need consistency in the run game (although that was the same thing we said in 2008, so ...) The pretty-boy offense thing I don't get. Football is football. The game, however, is changing. If something...

Kirk must decide whether to beeline for the pylon or cut back: “On the field it looked close, but a dive from the 5-yard-line is a far dive. The last thing you want, too, in this situation is diving and sticking the ball out. You never know – it can get punched out for a touchback, out of...

The Cardinals have two touchdowns and six field goals in the red zone this season. “I have to do a good job of not wasting plays when you’re in the red zone,” Kingsbury added. “You’ve got to make every play count, have a purpose for every play.” It was a quiet Johnson in the locker room...

BALTIMORE – Terrell Suggs took a moment to relish in the cheers he received as time ticked down on Sunday. The outside linebacker appreciated the ovation from the Ravens fans after 16 years with the team, he just wishes it came under different circumstances. Baltimore was able to hold on for a...

BALTIMORE – Lamar Jackson is such a dynamic athlete that Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury knew some self-inflicted errors would be needed to slow the Ravens quarterback down. They didn’t happen often on Sunday. Jackson was impressive both with his legs and his arm, completing 24-of-37 passes...

The Ravens (2-0) rushed for 182 yards, including 120 on 16 carries from quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson also threw two more touchdown passes and 272 yards. The numbers were skewed – yet if the Cardinals had converted a couple of their chances, the result could’ve been different. And they...

BALTIMORE – Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray weren’t the only ones who ushered in a new era of Cardinals football last Sunday. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were there, too. The Cardinals’ offense was dormant for three quarters against the Lions but exploded for 21 points in the fourth and...

Lamar Jackson’s Bid To Be Patrick Mahomes The Ravens handed the quarterback keys to Jackson last season, but the Jackson who ran early and often as a rookie – to much success, as Baltimore made the playoffs – was absent in Week One as he threw five touchdown passes and obliterated the...

KINGSBURY AS “THIEF” Coach Kliff Kingsbury is constantly working on his play designs, and while the Ravens have complimented him this week about his history of plays – plays that are sometimes used on the NFL level now – Kingsbury said he never once second-guessed himself for showing too much...

THE REASON WHY SUGGS, JONES DROP INTO COVERAGE Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs were dominant rushing the passer against the Lions, but they were also tasked with dropping into coverage at times. That didn’t go as well, which defensive coordinator Vance Joseph acknowledged on Thursday...

“We say that when you do some of the things that we were able to do together as a group, you walk together forever,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “That definitely holds true, except for probably three hours on Sunday. We have to look at him as an opponent. “We have to deal with him because...

Michael Crabtree will make his Cardinals debut Sunday in Baltimore. That the wide receiver played last season with the Ravens – totaling 54 catches for 607 yards and three touchdowns – before joining the Cards as a free agent in late August is notable. But it is secondary to him returning to...

While their speed is unquestioned, Jackson and Murray will only lead an offensive revolution if they can beat teams with their arm. Jackson never reached a completion percentage of 60 in college and sat at 58.1 percent as a rookie. While the Ravens won six of his seven regular season starts...

So here's the deal -- there are seasons in which I think Fitz would have had better numbers, yes. But not every non-Warner/Palmer season (for instance, John Skelton was mostly QB in 2011 when Fitz had more than 1,400 yards, so I don't know if his numbers would have been much better.) There have...

The Cardinals won’t have Marcus Gilbert the rest of the season, and they are hoping that Jordan Mills can help fill the void at right tackle. The knee injury Gilbert suffered at practice last Thursday was serious, enough so that the Cardinals put him on injured reserve Tuesday. The team has...

The Lions safeties help on the wideouts, giving Johnson room: “If they go into Cover 2 and split up, I’ll have a good chance. They did that, so it was just me and the linebacker 1-on-1. We split it right through the middle. The biggest thing was not letting him grab me or slow me down.” The...
