Dont know about the wildcat, but....

Great pic! When you look at this and DRC's catch, you see our guys going for the ball at its highest point and just making fantastic catches. Those are some serious athletes.

Toler looks like he's at a dance club or something. LOL. (That is Toler, right? The Cardinals website doesn't list anyone wearing 28 and it shows Toler as 32.)

We may not see that specific play again, but I'm sure we'll see Rolle take some more snaps. Even if you don't like it, you have to admit it's exciting.

It's on film now, so in the future DBs will chase Fitz down the field which should open up the run on that side.

I guess that's what I am saying. The DB will be with Fitz, or even 2 so that should help setup the run. We won't see Fitz that wide open on that play anymore. Rolle did underthrow that ball, but he is easily capable of throwing that ball out of the end zone on that play.

I'd love to see Rolle throw that ball across the field down the line of scrimmage next time.

That is Toler.

his best game since the Bengals matchup in 2007 (when he had 3 picks, 2 for TDs)

I called this one.

Rolle has an absolute cannon for an arm. He can throw the ball further than anyone on our roster. The timing of the playcall was absolutely perfect. However, I'm not sure if it will ever work again.

Ok, I thought I heard someone say Rolle can throw the ball 90 yards and thought "that can't be true!"

Antron looked great!! (By the way, I can't believe Michaels called him that again last night)

I have seen him throw the ball 75 yards in the air personally.

Someone did say that...must have been giving him some extra yards for the roll after the bounce, like a punt. ;)

He can throw it over that mountain by Flagstaff. But, the air is thinner there.

They should bring in Rolle to throw the Hail Mary pass when they try that. I half expect Warner to tear a shoulder muscle when he throws those. Plus, if you have Antron in there, maybe the defense thinks twice about dropping everybody back. They could throw Hail Marys from their own 30!

He'd be perfect for the Hail Mary pass!

Amazing that no one knew (before the current coaching staff got here) that Rolle is such a weapon. I guess previous regimes never took notice :shrug:

I loved the call at the point it was at (and I'm more in favor of us not Pahokeeing it up much), and the unit running it. Rolle has a cannon, and he hesitated too long to throw, but it was a well designed and called play. Execution could be better, but when it is rolled out again (no pun intended) Fitz will get attention in it and it will open up Rolle in the open field, running...and we know how special it is when he can go Antron on 'em.

Antron had a spectacular game. Very impressive. AW and AR were in Eli's head all night long.

I think the only thing that Rolle's previous NFL HC noticed were the fishing reports from Roosevelt Lake.

Man that play brought back memories. Back in High School I had a similar play except I was a WR. I take 4 steps back after the snap and catch the ball in pretty much the same place that Rolle tossed it. RB makes a block on the CB. I chuck the ball 40 yards and complete it to our star WR. I ended my career with a 100% completion percentage and an average of 40 yards per attempt!

:D

I thought the wildcat play call was horrible, 2nd and 2, they run that, Rolle holds the ball too long, should have passed earlier, and we end up eventually with a 3rd and 29. We're good offensively without this kind of nonsense thrown in. Warner's a HoF QB, let him run the offense, not a safety.

Before the game, very few were aware of Rolle's arm. It was mentioned in like one or two blog entrys during training camp as him just messing around in practice. I loved the playcall, because the D saw Rolle on offense, and they don't think of his cannon, they think this is the guy who returns every other pick for a TD and shifty against offensive players. They are pinning their ears back thinking time to show this guy what happens when you run against the defense, and then the ball goes over their heads.. it didn't work out in the end, but I loved the playcall.
