can any of our teams progression or regression be judged by the first preseason game

[freebyrd]

i guess not, mostly were vanilla trying not to get hurt etc...
but i am not coming away with a great feeling from this game


super bowl hangover? we'll see
but it will break my heart to sink back into the muck and mire we've wallowed in for decades after last years fabulous success i want a perennial contender for years to come
let it be

I thought we looked just fine. The defense was solid, and the offense moved the ball. I couldn't care less about what the third string did with BSP.

Everything after the first quarter isn't worth worrying about, but the second quarter looked good too.

Garvin also looks like he might have the goods, and I want to see him against starting talent.

 

[Nitemare129]

Yeah. Honestly, it's the first preseason game. All this loss means it that Pittsburgh's scrubs are better scrubs than our scrubs.

 

[RonF]

I liked the way Palko took over late in the game and he has some athleticism which our other QBs don't have.

 

[Buckybird]

I cant believe this question is even coming up

Join.

Over all I didn't see much to be concerned about. Pretty good for the first game.

I did like the play of some of our young players. Vets looked solid.

I like Toler at CB and Garvin at KR.
Palko looked poised and had good delivery on his passes.

 

[lauraw]

Agree with Donald and Mulli..

You gotta stop being such a debbie downer. Remember the last time you dumped on the cardinals. PATIENCE =D

 

[freebyrd]

i don/t mean to sound like i was dumping on em just wanted folks opinions to chat about

 

[ajcardfan]

Well, we looked a lot better than we usually do the first preseason game. We almost always suck bad in that game. For example, New Orleans last year.

 

[slanidrac16]

Our #1 offense looked like it could have marched up and down the field all day on those guys.

Nobody got hurt. I'm happy.

 

[clif]

In a word "NO"

 

[az jam]

Typical first preseason game. First team looked competitive better than most years. Don't think anybody got hurt which is usually the main concern.

Yeah, I cringed when Warner virtually got Hi-Low'd by the Steelers in the 1st half.

 

[MrYeahBut]

I noticed what seemed to be small thing, but our guys seemed alot more serious on the sideline. They showed several shots of Ward, Harrison,etc playing grab-ass, laughing and joking. Didn't see much of that from the Cards. Maybe when I watch the replay I'll get a different take.

My manlove for Fitz grows everytime I see him

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Agreed. that is how I read it.

I wouldn't take too much from the game, but it lets you see if players are stepping up to their new roles, and if anyone is in trouble of losing their jobs.

[dreamcastrocks]

Yep. I mentioned to Linder last night that he is quickly becoming my favorite athlete of all time.

 

[conraddobler]

Not really.

The only thing I noticed much was that Garvin is pretty good at returns and we're dangerously bad on blocking the rush on punts.

 

[freebyrd]

Yeah, I cringed when Warner virtually got Hi-Low'd by the Steelers in the 1st half.

yeah me too but it almost seemed like they layed him down a little gently maybe a sign of respect or preseason dunno'

 

[lauraw]

Less penalties= better concentration better coaching...?

 

[IAWarnerFan]

I thought the first team offense and defense did very well considering it was @Pittsburgh. That's all I really took from it.

 

[Duckjake]

Excellent observation. The Cards looked like an NFL football team instead of a couple of good players surrounded by a bunch of circus clowns like we used to see.

I cant believe this question is even coming up

don't waste your keystrokes...i don't know why i am wasting my time either.
