The Arizona Cardinals offense is inefficiently putting up some numbers in two of their three games.
This last week, their run passing game averaged 5.4 yards per attempt in their 30-36 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Michael Wilson had 17 targets, 11 receptions and 89 yards, while Trey McBride saw a slight uptick in his efficiency this week, catching nine of his 11 targets for 75 yards.
Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison Jr. had three receptions for 40 yards and was targeted five times in the game, the most
targets in a single game this season.
The MHJ situation has lead to a lot of speculation and wondering if he is a fit for the Arizona Cardinals, so much so that teams are now “monitoring the situation”.
FromESPN:
Fowler: Teams are continuing to watch the Marvin Harrison Jr. situation closely, wondering if he would become available, as Dan pointed out last week. He would have a market, though not for a high pick (possibly a quality Day 3 pick, as one team forecasted). Harrison, the former No. 4 overall pick who has struggled in Arizona, showed a slight uptick last week vs. San Francisco with three catches for 43 yards on five targets. But tight end Trey McBride and wide receiver Michael Wilson are clearly the Cardinals’ primary options
Harrison is a player to monitor closer to the deadline. Teams are still trying to assess what has happened with someone who seemed like a slam dunk out of Ohio State. “I don’t think one scout expected this. I didn’t see all the drops and lack of competing [in college],” one team evaluator pointed out. “Very weird. Probably needs a fresh start. Looks too big for him right now.”
Would be a huge blow to Monti and his drafting if the Cardinals had to sell so low on MHJ, but it is also getting to the point where you either trade him or understand you may get nothing in return.
What would you do?
