Run defense

[Totally_Red]

First off, great win by the Cardinals.

Second, the Seahawks played well, at least for three quarters.

Unfortunately both Bertrand Berry and Ali Highsmith are serious liabilities. A veteran like Berry ought to be able to avoid lining up offsides not once but twice. And Highsmith is slower than molasses and can't seem to make tackles in the open field.

Hurry back Chike and Gerald. We'll need you against Stephen Jackson.

On the positive side, the coming out party for Beanie Wells was great. After a shaky start Kurt Warner came alive and played well for the last three quarters.

The offensive line played well. Anquan Boldin had his best game of the year. Darnell Dockett was unblockable. And our punter is a master at pinning the opponent inside their 10 yard line.

Great win over a desperate opponent. Good job Cardinals!!!

Ali Highsmith, great ST guy, bad LB

Their was a reason Highsmith wasn't drafted. Not ready for primetime but a very good special teams guy. We really need Hayed and Chike back.

They shredded our run defense for 164 yards, and averaged about 7.5 yards per carry.

That borders on embarrassing.

But we sacked choakleback 4 times and pressured him alls day, so I guess Its not so amazing that SEA only scored 20 points.

Yeah but if Julius Jones doesn't get hurt they'd have had 64 yards and .75 yards per carry. Cards just can't stop a 2nd string RB. Remember Brock Forsey who had more than half his career rushing yards of 244 against us in 2003? And that Goins or whatever guy that ran for a mile against us.

Nick goings from the panthers was like their 6th string RB. He was a converted h-back or something.

Lit the Cardinals up like a christmas tree.

A few weeks ago the Cards were 1st in the Nfl with only 3.0 yards per carry allowed, now they're tied for 12th with 4.2 yards per carry allowed.

Don't forget when Brian Leonard ran for the century mark against us on the Rams a few years ago when S-Jax was injured. He's a full back for Cinci now.

Lets be honest our run D was never that good we were being passed on not run against.
Statistics don't always tell the truth

First thing that went through my mind.
