on Dilfer's point on pace

[Russ Smith]

While he and Berman drove me nuts, he was 100% right that SD playing slow made no sense. Why go no huddle against a team with a depleted defense and then take so long betwee snaps? Is the idea to drive the defense nuts by making them stand at the LOS so long on every play? I know I've often felt that's why Peyton Manning does all that he knows the defense will either relax or get jumpy.

I felt they could have run more plays and really tired out our defense is they'd got up to the line and snapped it faster.

Other than that Dilfer and Berman didn't say a single thing last night that mattered.

Dilfer is so good at what he does, but for some reason, he has to hang all over Berman's jock. Pair him with someone else and I think he'd be great!

Except that he was complaining about the roughing the passer against Palmer when it seemed very clear to me.

I thought he was pretty good overall though.

Yeah. He could have noticed the face mask on that one!

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Yeah. He could have noticed the face mask on that one!

I found it especially weird, coming from an ex-QB. Usually they have some unwritten rule to stick up for his kind, lol.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Talking about pace, I wish the Cards would use no-huddle more. I really like Palmer in the no-huddle. Everything else, not so much.

And the one on Ellington.

I thought it was to control defensive substitutions as well.

+1.

Right but part of that is if you snap the ball fast, they WANT to sub but can't.

If you hold it 20 seconds at the LOS the defense gets a bit of a rest anyways.

I think this is an important part. I hope that the Cards run more no-huddle or hurry-up over the next couple of weeks, if only to practice it for whenever we play Seattle.

Whatever success the Packers had last Thursday was when they were running the ball inside an up-tempo offense. The Seahawks can't sub out their linemen and you can tire them out more easily.

I thought he was complaining about the rule more than the call itself.

Yes, but you're implying Dilfer was an actual QB.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

He said Palmer barely got touched in the face when in fact his helmet was turned. I think he just flat out got it wrong.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I never said he was a good one.

Dilfer and Berman both praised the Ravens for cutting Rice 7 months late. They got the mute after that.

 

[Japes]

Berman was terrible. Why he still announces primetime NFL games is beyond me

 

[FORKTUNG]

I put on Dave and Wolf on KMVP and synced it up with my DVR.

All Michaels is a close 2nd on SNF IMO for terrible announcer

I was also perturbed by sideline reporter Lindsay Czerniak on the Chargers side of the field and sporting a Chargers blue blouse in our house. Koinkadink I think not

I thought he was complaining about the rule more than the call itself.

Exactly what happened. He was using the CP as an example that he doesn't like the rule because it's impossible for Dlineman to not get near the QB's head 100% of the time. He wasn't saying the flag was wrong but that the rule is wrong.

Yes, but you're implying Dilfer was an actual QB.

Beat me to it.

Dilfer and Berman both praised the Ravens for cutting Rice 7 months late. They got the mute after that.

I got the impression that a producer told them they had to discuss Rice and they weren't prepared and fumbled through it. To be hones I was pretty much ignoring them as soon as they start blathering on about Rice.

Crowd noise and constant defensive shifts made the call at the line on offense alot more difficult. The easiest way to beat a no huddle is with a very loud home crowd.

Speaking of crowd noise....
Can our Fans please get a effing clue and **** when we have the ball?
Arians even made mention of it during his presser.

I get that some of it is visiting fans.. But just from the video panning the bleachers, we have so many clueless people who don't understand the concept.

I noticed this when I was watching at home and thought 'holy hell, there are a lot of Chargers fans there'. Then I saw shots of our crowd and facepalmed.

I can't believe he plays the pace card...
