Does anybody else think Eric Green may be a better cover guy than Rolle is right now.

I believe Rolle will be good and he may not have been 100% today but Green appears to have the instincts of a corner. Rolle looks like a safety that just wants to hit someone.

Macklin had to be happy. He was left alone much of the day.

I think Eric Green is solid and maybe a step better than Rolle at this point.... But let it be known... Rolle was limping all day and Seattle was taken advantage of it.

Speaking of our defense, where is all this speed everyone was talking about?

They don't look that quick to me.

When you can't tackle speed doesn't matter.

Believe it or not, it could have been worse.
They could have picked on Macklin all day.

They need to remove the Cardinal from the helmet and replace it with a pinball machine.

Speed is good but our tackling sucks ass. I've seen HS football tackle better than our defense.

I was wondering when...

they would figure out that you can't ARM TACKLE Alexander! Great googly moogly that was poor tackling <excuse my french>

How about hitting and tackling the QB when you burst through too? That would have been nice!

Rolle will grow into something special but I think his confidence is rocked. Torry Holt will do that to you. Besides, while Darrell Jackson doesn't have all of the physical tools, he is one of the most underrated receivers in the NFL in his smarts. The guy is top notch at setting people up and running crisp routes. He took DeAngelo Hall to school last week so Rolle kind of had it coming this week.

Rolle will ultimately turn out to be very solid. Besides, have you seen PacMan lately? Let's just say I hope that Torry Holt gave the guy a kiss after the game. Yikes.

Just based on last weeks game anyone is better than Rolle at corner. He was absolutely horrible. I will give him time and just cross it off as a bad day or being hurt. We do not ever need to see a game like that from our #1 pick again. I sure hope it was because of an injury because you can bet your last dollar the Rams will be coming at Rolle time and time again after looking at that film.
