Marvin Harrison Sr. Criticizes Cardinals Offense as Harrison Jr. Defends Context and Scores Early vs. Cowboys

The critique underscores how scheme-versus-era context complicates Arizona's efforts to unlock its top receiver.

Overview

  • Harrison Sr. told ESPN the Cardinals’ offense is very hard for him to watch and that he can’t relate to the current style, adding he has stopped attending his son’s games.
  • Marvin Harrison Jr. responded that his situation differs from his father’s, citing today’s systems and quarterback context and noting his father played with Peyton Manning.
  • Arizona entered Week 9 at 2-5 on a five-game slide, with Jacoby Brissett making a third straight start as Kyler Murray remains out with a Week 5 foot sprain.
