Should we run right off the bat or go for that ever-popular, week 1 reverse flea-flicker and go for the long TD right away?

I say set up the long ball with the rush.....

I wouldn't mind a dive play to start it off at all. then the second play, play action deep pass to Boldin.

More than likely we will start off a little conservative until the energy dies down a bit.

However , if we come out and the are play bump......I challenge them. If they are playing off I'd throw a quick hitch to Boldin and maybe he can break off a big one right of the bat. It wouldn't have to be a huge play.....just one where he runs over 2 or 3 guys for a 20 yd gain. That would set the tone.

I'd call a formation consisting of Edge, JJ, BJ, Fitz and Q. Lineup 81 and 11 as twins on one side. Line the backs split in the back field. PA to Edge on the strong side, 32, 81 and 11 should drag LB and secondary coverage their way. Swing pass to JJ on the other side with 80 blocking. Gain of 7. Second and 3.

How about a screen pass to Boldin who runs for 200 yards and scores twice before they are able to tackle him?

I don't care. If we run, I get yards with edge. If we throw, I hope I get yards with Boldin. Either way I win.

Prior to the preseason, I would have said we'd run play action pass on the first play of the game.

However, with our pass attack in full swing during preseason SF is going to be ready for it and we haven't been a "run first" team or even tryin to be so...therefore I would guess we will see a 3WR set and a draw play off of it, edge gaining 7 yards.

I hear that. I expect to see a lot of draw, counter, and sweeps tonight.

Vegas, baby, yeah!
Singleback Big - right pitch to Edge, handoff to Fitz, left lateral to Leinart, bomb to Quan on the deep post route.

Pitch to Boldin who stops and throws it deep to a wide open Leinart, ala "The Waterboy"

haha, i want a flea flicker to Fitz for 60 yards. Just toss it up to fitz and he'll catch it, just throw 5 yards slants to boldin and he'll break tackles, thats the secret to the Cardinals winning... Now DO IT.
