On the radio, I think it was Wolfley, said the Cards are trying to work with Kolb to get him to step up into the pocket when in the shotgun. Said it would help out the tackles in pass protection.
Wasn't some guy named Domino or Wreck or Scud or something like that 1-0 for us last season?
411(good info)18 of 29 309 yards and 2TD's..Zero Int's and a QB rating over 130.00
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? With that kind of pressure?
I know its only one game. But in all seriousness he should get better as the season goes along and he is in this O longer.
Forgot to mention Kolb completed almost 67% of his passes
Kolb's YPA was a whopping 11.4
:iwin:
You have to remember he just turned in that performance after what 5 weeks work with the team?
You have got to be stoked about him so far, granted it's just one game but I'm stoked, very much so.
I'm not going to quibble with him doing whatever he wants to do with a rating over 100, whatever he did, worked.
Our oline played well, Kolb welcomed and beat the Blitz like Kurt, but embraced the run game unlike Kurt. We need more run game reps to improve and reduce penalties as a team. balance worked just like Lombardi always said. Thank you Whiz and Miller for calling plays like you have a brain. after the 3 pass, penalties and out on the goal line after Beanie went 2 for 16 yards and a TD on the opening drive.
Play action worked like a real team cause the kittys were scared of Beanie Wells, here kitty kitty kitty. they were not scared of Fitz, while double teamed. but take away the double team and Fitz rules this game with Kolb.
We have not seen an iota of the playbook. But Kolb needs to wear out any defense counting beans, the bean screen plays. I mean Kolb rarely looked first for beanie and He rarely kept the ball until his 3rd option, beanie. He was open just like preseason. We left 100 yards in screens on the field. Miller needs to game plan more tosses to Wells as the first or 2nd option. To help Fitz and the WR's later in the game/season.
Our oline is a beast if given a fair chance with a balanced game plan. Espn flashed that we were #1 in pass attempts and percentage since 2008! 64.8 % of the time, some games we were a lot more than that, pasing every down with 3 score leads! Kolb would eventually look like DA and Hall last year if we kept passing 2 to 1!
Did you watch the same game that everyone else did?

Anyone see replay of kolb on sideline when porter was offides on 4th and 10 at games end? Showed it on NFL network... Good lord he was mad. Haha

I hope Kevin Kolb becomes similar to our local water company.
By this I mean: No one goes around wondering about how their water company is doing unless something goes really wrong.
You merely turn on the spiggot and the water comes out. Cool.
That's what I'm hoping to see from Kevin - i.e. less about the statistics and, instead, the automatic faith that he'll keep on doing what he's doing.
The 66.7% completion-rate and 2 TDs-to-0 Interceptions should be something we can safely assume (without a lot of fanfare) he'll do week in and week out.
Just like the water company.
If he can deliver on this (& we can stop doing dumb things in other aspects of the game), we'll be a shoe-in to make the playoffs.

Cards down 21-14 goin into the 4th qt, Kolb went 4 of 6 120 yds & TD, His 149.3 4 qt rating was the best in wk 1.
Our oline played well
Stopped reading after this
You must have been in one of your states of delirium during the game. Kolb made the line look good on paper (only 2 sacks allowed) because of his mobility. People talk about him needing to step into the pocket, but he's gonna get killed if he does that.
The line play was atrocious.
Go watch the Jeff King TD pass. The line quickly broke containment and Kolb had to roll to the right. Fortunately, Carolina blew coverage and Kolb saw the open receiver.

Obviously comparing anyone to what Warner did is tough but I was impressed he used his TE's so well.
He's a huge upgrade from last year that's clear.
How good he'll ultimately wind up is anybody's guess but we'd probably have won the division last year with him.
