Decisions at running back spot looming for Arizona Cardinals

This past Monday, the Arizona Cardinals made what could be considered a somewhat surprising move. Dealing with a plethora of injuries at the running back position, Steve Keim orchestrated a trade for the Miami Dolphins Kenyan Drake. Don’t look now, but it seems as if the Cards general manager may have created a controversy in the backfield with the unexpected acquisition.

Spectacular would be an excellent word to describe Drake’s Arizona debut on Halloween night. The former third-round pick of the Dolphins sliced through the vaunted San Francisco 49ers defense like a knife cutting through hot butter. Drake’s tremendous skills were obviously being wasted in South Florida, by a Miami club that is the joke of the NFL at the moment.
