ARI 27 DET 27 OT: Talking Points

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Kliff Kingsbury:

You took the blame for 3 quarters of what you honestly called the worst offense you’ve seen. This is what pro coaches do, they protect their young QB. Kudos to you.

You found a way to get the offense in rhythm in the 4th quarter—-something you are vowing to build on as the team heads to Baltimore in week 2.

Suggestions: (1) offense is better with a quicker tempo—-it was far too deliberate up until the 4th quarter; (2) you don't need to revert to 3 straight rushes following Murray’s interception—-that was so last year, run, run and then getting stuffed on 3rd and 1; (3) next time that defenses like Matt Patricia’s are playing blanket man to man…
