Cards Texans Game Thread

Whats up! Longtime lurker, first time poster. I have to say the defense doesn't look encouraging at this point. Granted, I'm at work and can only watch the play by play on sportsline but still....

Welcome, sort of. Nothing encouraging at all... except 1 play by hood, after he was called for pass interference.

welcome aboard--the defense was cut to ribbons during that series. hopefully it improves--offense too

It's kind of a bad sign that Ahman Green was ripping our defense for some big gains, meanwhile Edge is only getting 2 or 3 yards a carry.

Good observation. The D had the same problem last week. Texans worked the Cards problem with overrunning plays to perfection. Also the middle of the field was wide open again just like the first few series against the Raiders. Again give up a big play on 3rd and long. Another PI penalty. Not real good at tackling again either. Bright spot was the play by Hood.

Was it a mistake to keep Pendergrast? These are the same mistakes they were making last year.

Love the offense so far this season. The D continues to worry me.

It seems that CP's defenses usually star slowly, but come on later in games. Lets hope they can improve on that.

Damn Matt slide!!!! Geez!

matt is now our leading rusher...

Damn Matt slide!!!! Geez!

that scared me too--and i didn't realize the first quarter was over, and I saw him going to the sidelines...not fun

Give the starting RB job to Shipp. I have been saying that since through Jones, Smith, Arrington, and now the Edge days. Shipp has been the best runningback all those years on our team.

"Smart" - stupid penalties, Leinart tucking the ball and not sliding quickly enough
"disciplined" - overpursuit, nobody staying in their gaps.
"tough" - we're getting bulldozed by a horrible offensive line. Berry is invisible on run support.

I know it's early, but Houston looks like they're in midseason form compared to us. this ain't pretty.

I still think Edge is the starter, i just want Shipp for short yardage situation. fitz with a fantastic grab

 

[dogpoo32]

OMG! Fitz is the man!

 

[az1965]

Fitz!

 

[Nitemare129]

That was a huge catch!

 

[Gambit]

edge in the endzone! not the traditional way, but we'll take it! good series--not pretty but got the job done

 

[dogpoo32]

TD Edge on the catch! Nice second thought by Matt!

 

[Nitemare129]

.........Then Edge for 1 yard AGAIN!

 

[az1965]

TD Leinart to Edge!!!!!!

 

[Nitemare129]

damn sportsline.......making me look the fool.

 

[Syracusecards]

wow, get that fat guy celebrating the touchdown some freaking deoderant. couldn't tell if that was a pattern on his shirt or pit stains.

 

[azdad1978]

Nice communication between Matt to Edge

 

[Black Jesus]

how was the FITZ pass? In traffic or kind of open? 41 yards is HUGE

damn sportsline.......making me look the fool.

Welcome to my world. I don't even need Sportsline for that. Damn that was a nice drive.

This is where Leinart's playing time pays off. Last season he doesn't throw that pass to Fitz. Also heads up on the TD.

It took almost 20 years but it looks like we finally have a superstar at QB.

Double teamed, hands in his face, lept and snatched it with no problem.

 

[Nitemare129]

Leinart is looking really good so far.
