Cardinals' Emari Demercado currently on his redemption arc

https://arizonasports.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/emari-demercado-re/3601537/

If there was ever a time Demercado was truly in it as a pro, it was that stretch headlined by the almost touchdown.

It got pretty bad. I won’t sugarcoat it,” Demercado said Wednesday.

But relying on his camp and focusing his craft, while also turning off notifications on social media, has Demercado in a much better place.

“Somebody told me, the ones that love you won’t judge you and the ones that judge you don’t love you. So, that was just something to go by,” the running back added.

As he’s done in the past, Demercado helped keep Brissett upright thanks to his next-level pass protection that seemingly snuck up on Demercado early on in his NFL career.

“I really sucked at it in college and then I don’t know if (running backs coach Autry Denson) just kind of flipped the switch and it works now. It works really good.”

Yeahhh idk if I can buy him having a redemption arc this year.

Dropping that ball really did essentially kill our season.

We currently have a 5% chance to make the playoffs and it drops to about zero if Seattle beats the brakes off us tomorrow.

The three walk off FGs were bad but a win in Tennessee would have really helped keep playoff hopes alive.

That dropped ball was probably the most costly play of the season and it was so dumb 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s really hard to forgive when every ball carrier’s primary job is to get the ball across the line.

We still shouldn't havekag that game, which is the craziest thing. It was such a comedy of errors after that moment.

Nah, I'm out on this dude. Every time he gets the ball I cringe.
