Kyler Murray wants Cardinals to be better at 'off-schedule plays' in 2025
Our Summary
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is focused on enhancing his off-schedule plays to improve their effectiveness in the 2025 season. Murray acknowledges the need to capitalize on his ability to extend plays outside the play structure, similar to elite quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing notes that while these plays can be risky, Murray's unique skill set makes them potentially game-changing. Achieving this improvement will require collective effort from the entire team, including receivers and offensive linemen, to adapt and support during scramble drills. Despite past injuries, Murray remains a significant rushing threat, leading QBs in rush yards over expected on designed runs in 2024. However, his productivity on scramble plays was less efficient compared to peers like Jackson. The Cardinals aim to harness Murray's instincts and playmaking abilities effectively, ensuring his running is a calculated asset in the upcoming season.
