Andre Roberts - We Salute YOU!!

Post by dbackjon »

When Roberts was drafted a few years ago by the Cardinals out of The Citadel, many Cardinal fans derided the pick. I told them to give him some time - he was a quality player.

This year Roberts has really come into his own - two more TD's against the Dolphins in the Cardinals win to go 4-0

That salute has become his trademark.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer kid, too. If you ever see any sideline highlights if him, pay attention when the coaches are talking to him- he always says "Yes, Sir."

Tailgated with his folks a couple time when he was at El Cid, don't think they ever missed a game.

BTW he went over 1000 career yards with that 46 yard reception in the 3rd. The only beef I have with the media is that they are much more focused on Fitz, and Andre is kind of an afterthought, even though Andre has outperformed Fitz a couple times this season.

Yup - his salute is great to see

It is hard to perform in the shadow of the greatest receiver playing, but Andre has learned from him, and benefited from the attention paid to Fitz, and learned how to exploit the single coverage on him.

Yep. Of course Fitz is arguably the best receiver in the league. Andre's success is going to open things up for Fitz. It is possible that we have not yet seen AZ peak this season.
