What about Drake coming over to the Cards on Monday and rushing for 100 yards with a TD and catching a few balls for 50 yards. One of his best games as a pro. Heās going to love playing for a team thatās not the Phins.
Three days after being traded by the Miami Dolphins, the former Alabama standout runs for 110 yards.

Kenyan Drake celebrated being traded away from the winless Miami Dolphins by running for 110 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, catching four passes for 52 yards and scoring a 2-point conversion in his first game with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night.
In six games, including two starts, with Miami this season, Drake ran for 174 yards on 47 carries and caught 22 passes for 174 yards while sharing time with Kalen Ballage and Mark Walton.
āThatās what we expected,ā Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said of Drakeās performance. "Thatās why we traded for him. I think his skill set is perfect for what we do. Heās explosive. He runs tough. For him to come in and learn an entire game plan -- and we didnāt pull anything back. We knew weād have to call our best game against those guys.
āReally impressed by him all week. His level of preparation showed out today.ā
Funny thing on the Cards game last night, the color analyst said theyād really limited their playbook so Drake could play. Contradicts what the head coach says. Those announcers always know it all.
