Good effort by DK catching Budda but man you would've thought it was the greatest play in pro sports history based on the reaction by everyone.

media tryhards love HUSTLE AND TOUGHNESS.

have to admit it was a pretty sweet play, but I agree they’ve gone overboard

Metcalf made a great hustle play but what gets lost in this is that Budda made a even bigger play denying the Seahawks. Sure they stopped us but their initial threat takes precedent. The team which won the game makes this observation right, and as a Cardinal fan I have learned moral victories are a load of empty praise when winning is all that matters :)

Also, the Budda pick planted seeds of doubt in Russ’ mind that came to fruition later in the game. Up to that point he had absolute control.

Great point. I remember Peyton Manning used to say it about Troy Polamalu that it drove him crazy that he was never where he was supposed to be and that’s how he intercepted passes. Baker said he wasn’t supposed to be there in the press conference. He got in his head.

Kinda like QB hurries/hits are just as effective as a sack. Gets in the QB's head and messes up their timing

DK Metcalf: one catch 6 yards verse PP21 who covered him one-on-one 42 of 47 plays.

Still made the biggest play of the game not to mention the GW TD that was thankfully called back.

And what he did today to SF... woah

But we have Andy Isabella’s 11 receptions through 7 games to feel good about

Had to do it

The biggest play of the game would have been one that contributed to a Seahag victory. And I couldn't care less about how he plays against other teams.

I’ve already posted video that shows he got blocked out of the play after starting to chase you can see him clearly get blocked hard out of bounds at 34 seconds.... No way to catch up at that point.... It’s a tired excuse lol

what’s funny is if you watch this closely the one initially just jogging to catch up with no real effort is Fitz.... I’m assuming he thinks he will just be caught. Then he realizes oh **** there’s a chance then kicks in with the full effort.

those videos should be banned from this site.

And yet, almost nil vs. Patrick Peterson.

...dbs

The stat can be pretty misleading too since it is total yards. It could just mean he is seeing more single coverage(not saying that's the case but those numbers don't provide enough context). I think we can all agree we blew it taking Isabella over him, but I'll just be happy we nailed the 1st pick.

He made that play to begin with because of the holding that was called. He would have gotten no more than 5-10 yards without the hold.
