Howard spotted at Ohio State and Texas A&M

Earlier this week Jon Howard was spotted at the Ohio State Buckeyes practice, he had a sit down conversation with coach Urban Meyer about the career of Braxton Miller. While Braxton said he will return for his senior year, he is being closely watched by the Cardinals as they plan to move onto a speed QB in the future.



Thursday afternoon, Mr. Howard was noticed at the Aggies practice, he has expressed interest in QB Johnny Manziel. While Johnny Football has his problems off the field, he is still a very skilled QB. The Cardinals will probably give little tolerance to Manziel's off field problems just like they have Tyrann Mathieu. So far, Mathieu has not let the team down. If drafted in the future, they hope the same from Johnny Manziel.

The very first play of the game Ryan Williams breaks free for a 34 yard run. Feeling good, Arians decides to call a HB Dive. Mendenhall hit the hole but gets laid out by James Laurinaitis causing a fumble and the Rams ball. The Rams would work their way down field to take the lead 3-0. On the kickoff, Patrick Peterson would hit the outside corner and it would be a foot race to the End Zone. Peterson would return it for 103 yards 7-3 Cards.

After stopping the Rams again, multiple runs by Ryan Williams would lead him into the End Zone for his first TD of the season. To end the 1st it would be Arizona 21 St Louis 3. Entering the second quarter, Sam Bradford looked like a different man. His first drive he completes 6 straight passes to lead the Rams for a score 21-10. The Cardinals would try to answer back, with multiple throws leading them down the field they would fall short. What seemed to be a wide open throw over the middle, wasn't so open. Tyrod threw his first INT of the season. Daryl Richardson would work his way down field on what would be his best drive, only for the Rams to be forced to kick a FG 21-13. The Cardinals up 8, would drive down the field on after multiple completions, ending up with Tyrod Taylor hitting Brandon Tate for a 6 yard TD, to make the game 28-13. St. Louis wouldn't go down so fast though. Brian Quick caught 3 passes on a total of 87 yards on the drive. His 3rd catch would be an 8 yard TD pass reaching the Rams within 8. The final at the half would be 28-20. Entering the third quarter down 8, the Rams would receive. Sam Bradford would find Brian Quick for his 7th reception of the game.

Tyrod Taylor would dominate the following drive, on the drive he ran for a total of 32 yards and passed for 24. He would hit Ryan Williams over the middle for a 5 yard TD to make the score 35-26. This would sum up the 3rd quarter of play. Entering the 4th the score would be Arizona 35 St. Louis 26 After forcing a 3 and out to start the quarter, the Cardinals would drive downfield just to come up short when Jay Feely would miss the 37 yard field goal just right. Sam Bradford and the Rams would enter their hurry up passing offense. Bradford hit Quick multiple times on the drive. But when trying to complete a pass to Tavon Austin in the End Zone he would be picked off for the first time of the season. Tyrod Taylor would work the clock while driving down the field. He would finish the drive off by running the ball in for a 4 yard TD run. Making the score, 43-26. The score would stand the rest of the game. A young Cardinal fan celebrating the teams first victory of the season! Key Players/Stats Tyrod Taylor: 15-23, 297 YD's passing, 3 TD and 1 INT, 8 Carries for 48 yards and 1 TD Ryan Williams: 25 Carries, 110 YD's and 1 TD Larry Fitzgerald: 5 Catches, 139 YD's and 1 TD Patrick Peterson: 5 Returns, 280 YD's, 1 TD and 3 Tackles Sam Bradford: 22-31, 343 YD's, 2 TD's and 1 INT Brian Quick: 10 Catches, 224 YD's and 2 TD's Post Game Press Conference Reporter: "What are your thoughts on the play of Tyrod Taylor? Will there be more of this to come or is this just a one time thing?" Arians: "We brought in Tyrod to perform and be the best he can be. I feel he can be even better than he was tonight. But the kid gave one hell of a performance." Reporter: "What are your thoughts on defense? You gave up 224 yards alone to one WR, how do you go about this?" Arians: "We simply didn't plan right, We didn't think that a slot receiver would burn us like that. We will be planning for stuff like this in the future. Not one player did anything wrong. Multiple guys were guarding Quick tonight, he dominated whoever guarded him." Reporter: "Thank you for your time."

Post Game Conference:

Reporter: "You guys won a key game at home this week, you know sit at 4-3 on the season. Where do you see the team going from here?"

Jon Howard: "I see us going nowhere but up, we have the team, we have the players returning. Next week we get back stud corner Patrick Peterson, things are looking up for us."

Reporter: "What made you play Rashard Mendenhall in the 2nd half today, when you planned on not playing him until he was 100%?"

Jon Howard: "Today I took a risk in playing Mendenhall, we needed the win. I will do anything I can for this city even if it means losing some players. Thankfully, he did not get hurt and ran for 100+ YDs in the 2nd half alone."

Reporter: "Last week you said Case Keenum couldn't play solid in key games, does that statement still stand after this week?"

Jon Howard: "I still stand behind last weeks comments, yes he played a great game, but it was one game. I need to see him do it again next week and the weeks to follow. After my visits to OSU and T A&M this week, I still like either Miller or Manziel."
