\- [Marvin Harrison Jr. said he moved on](https://www.azcardinals.com/news/marvin-harrison-jr-moves-on-from-a-game-to-remember-and-forget) from his down-than-up Thursday performance pretty quickly, as he always wants to do. I did think it was interesting that he clearly felt the mistakes he made but wasn't all that juiced about the big plays he turned in later in the game. I'm supposed to do that, he noted, and while he's right, it's always good to take the positives and celebrate, at least for a moment or two.
\-- One guy outside the building that hasn't lost faith in MHJ is Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald, who was asked about Harrison this week during a SiriusXM NFL radio interview.
"I think the second half of that game on Thursday was the best thing that could've happened to him," Fitzgerald said. "He had the two drops early in the game, one that led to an interception, he could've easily put his head in the sand and that could've gone really bad. He came back and made play after play when his number was called in that second half and it really showed me this guy has got a lot of fight.
"He's got a lot of high football-resolve character. It's in his DNA. I hope that positivity of that second half can carry on. When I talk to people in the organization and the facility, there is no one who works harder than he does … Catching the football, you do it routinely and often enough to build the confidence you'll do it at a higher level. He checks the boxes."
\-- Both Harrison and OC Drew Petzing said they had no concerns about the miscommunications, when they happen, between Harrison and Kyler Murray. It is interesting to note that while the Murray-to-Harrison completion percentage is probably not where the Cardinals want it (59.3 percent) it is better than a handful of other key receivers around the league:
* Malik Nabers (51.4)
* Rome Odunze (57.1)
* Tetairoa McMillan (51.4)
* Davante Adams (48.6 before Thursday)
\-- Murray is up to 20,240 yards passing with the Cardinals over 86 games. He is now third in franchise history behind only Jim Hart's 34,639 yards (in 199 games) and Neil Lomax's 22,771 (in 108 games).
\-- Both Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis spoke this week about the need for the Cardinals to limit explosive plays against – and considering how well the Cards have done in allowing few points, improvement in preventing explosives would likely take the unit up another level.
The Cardinals have allowed 57 plays of at least 10 yards, 10 more than the league average, and 15 plays of at least 20 yards, which is in the lower third of the league.
"You can't have a five-play drive that goes 70 yards, and they score a touchdown," Gannon said. "That's not good defense, and (Rallis) doesn't call it accordingly like that. I think it's self-inflicted explosives we have to minimize."
\-- The last word goes to Kyler, when I asked him if he was able to get away from the game during the minibye last weekend and reset.
"Honestly, it's hard not to watch (football) right? Loving the game, being a fan of the game, it's on TV on Sunday (and) Saturday. Kind of pisses you off though. It pissed me off at least. Just kind of a bad taste in my mouth from Thursday. But yeah, we have to reset. We have another opportunity (against the Titans)."
