To fully understand the potential value that former Purdue wide receiver Rondale Moore brings to the Cardinals, consider what opposing defenses typically like to do against Kliff Kingsbury’s up-tempo offense.
First, they like to put a “spy” on quarterback Kyler Murray, either an agile linebacker with some burst, or a smart, instinctual safety they can move up into the box. Teams almost have to commit to using at least one specific player to help shadow and defend Murray because of his dual-threat ability as a runner with jackrabbit speed and Houdini-like elusiveness.
Secondly, teams almost always like to put double coverage on wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, especially in obvious passing situations.
