Cardinals need to give Eno Benjamin more chances.<\/strong> There was some quiet buzz in Cardinalsdom prior to last week’s game against the Seahawks with the news that Benjamin might be able to take advantage of his starting assignment after James Conner got hurt. That never materialized, as Benjamin was corralled (15 carries for 37 yards) by what had been a bad Seattle run defense. On Thursday, however, Benjamin was a force. His tackle-breaking run style that he patented just down the road at Arizona State was on full display, as he regularly dragged Saints defenders for extra yards en route to a 12-carry, 92-yard, one-TD rushing performance, along with four grabs. Benjamin has been buried on the depth chart, but he deserves a role, even when Conner is back. He runs hard and with purpose, a no-nonsense asset for a Cardinals offense in need of a clear identity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nNext Gen stat of the game: <\/strong>The Cardinals’ Isaiah Simmons reached a top speed of 20.68 mph on his pick-six of Andy Dalton, the fastest speed by a linebacker as a ball carrier this season. Since 2020, Simmons has reached 20-plus mph six times on plays from scrimmage, most among all linebackers in that span.<\/p>\nNFL Research: <\/strong>Saints WR Rashid Shaheed became only the second player since 1991 to score touchdowns of 40-plus yards on his first two career scrimmage plays.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown, who did it as a rookie with Baltimore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FULL BOX SCORE Cardinals’ slow starts are (sort of) not an issue on Thursday.
