Rams must limit Cardinals ‘escape artist’ Kyler Murray

GLENDALE, Ariz. — First, Rams outside linebacker Justin Hollins examined the situation, saying the Raiders’ defense appeared fatigued on the wild 2-point conversion that Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray converted last week that covered 85 yards of grass and took 21 seconds to conclude.

Hollins was then asked if the combination of physical and mental fatigue after allowing an improbable 2-point conversion would demoralize his team. That’s when the imagination stopped for Hollins. The key to containing Murray from extending plays and scrambling for yards, according to Hollins, is to keep fresh rotations with the edge rushers and defensive linemen.

Last week, the Rams took away running lanes and forced Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota to be one-dimensional as a passer during their first win of the season. Donald, who recorded three sacks the last time the Rams played in Arizona, said that game plan probably wouldn’t work against Murray. Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, obviously, has different sentiments when watching his star quarterback work the pocket for extended periods.
