The Setup
2nd preseason game. Since starters were held out of the HOF game with Dallas, this would be the first game where Cardinal fans could get a feel for how polished the #1 units looked which players were favored to start and which backups seemed to hold inside and long-shot positions to stick on the Final 53. Of course, winning would be nice too.

Key roster battles to keep an eye on:

QB (How sharp did Palmer, Stanton and Gabbert look)? RB - (The fightbehind David Johnson for roster spots). WR (Several backups fighting for one/possibily 2 spots behind Fitz, the Browns and Nelson). TE (Probably Momah vs. Valles). OL (How well did they execute as a unit in both pass pro and the run game. Possible battle between Toner and Boehm or for a backup spot at LT).

DL (Who'll replace the departed Calais Campbell. Is Nkemdiche really looking that good)? LB (Will Reddick satisfactorily back up Bucannon? Is Budda Baker really that good)? ST (Do the kicking and punting games look more stable)?

The Lede
"Cards Hang On to Beat Raiders 20 - 10)"

The Bottom Line:
As we did in the HOF game, the Cards started quickly with its top 2 units - led by Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton - looking sharp during the first and second quarters and 3rd and other backup units - under Blaine Gabbert - suffering an attack of the "mehs" and hanging on to coast to a final 20 - 10 victory

Answering some of the questions we had going into last night's contest:

Palmer and Stanton generally looked mid-season sharp; the only exceptions being missed TD passes to wide open receivers. Gabbert still has a way to go "feeling" the enemy pass rush and adjusting to it. David Johnson "was who we thought he was", but (although each flashed on one or two plays) neither Ellington nor K Williams looked consistently productive. But we were impressed by the physicality of Elijah Penny (who looked dependable between the tackles). At WR: John Brown didn't play. Nelson looked good. Jaron Brown had an up and down game. If a roster-decision had to be made right now, Brittan Golden would own the #6 WR spot/ Most of the other backup WRs were victims either of missed passes or dropsy, but the two who stood out the most were Jeremy Ross and and Marquis Bundy. The OL by and large looked fairly good. Humphries didn't play. Backups generally didn't embarrass themselves.

Defensively, "The "Deech" lived up to his advance clippings as did S Budda Baker. Reddick got turned around defending an inside misdirection cutback play. Cards - up and down the depth chart - were shaky in the short game, defending against screens, short passes, sweeps and misdirection plays. Among the longshots to earn a roster spot - Bynes jumped out at us roughly a half-dozen times.

Watching Phil Dawson line up to kick FGs or XPs is like "eating comfort food."

To Add Context - If you just read the nit-picky text of this article, you might get the false impression that the Cardinals were desperately mediocre. That really wasn't the case. Matched up helmet-to-helmut, the Cards - from to to bottom - looked physically tougher, athletically more gifted and somewhat sharper than the Raiders.

Last Word:
It' was a promising outting.

Key to our season's success will be to maintain consistently high standards of play - every snap, 4 quarters, 60 minutes per game.

What I'll be hoping for from here on out is steady directional improvement in play from each player.
