The moral of tonight: we need to re-sign Rashad Johnson

[Ed Burmila]

Apparently he is integral back there, and we saw a big drop off without him.

 

[Buckybird]

Yessir. They had to play a totally different D with him out. Pray we've got #32 back

 

[Ed Burmila]

I don't think that blown coverage 78 yarder happens with RJ in there.

I'm worried about Honey Badger.

Yep

Him pulling his gloves & tape off in disgust isn't a good sign.

 

[jw7]

Semi OT.

I hate the word resign. It has two completely opposite meanings.

any news on that?

 

[Mainstreet]

The Cardinals definitely need Rashad Johnson back. His play calling on defense is invaluable.

 

[motion3]

Can't pay everyone. Though 32 may come at a discount now.

On a bright note... Swearinger looked good.

Just resign yourself to it....

 

[Redneck Voodoo]

Re-sign...

 

[Jetstream Green]

I think he played surprisingly well in such a short period of time of joining the team... but we need Johnson

 

[bg7brd]

I agree., but it looks good for the future.

No Fly zone?
All crappy qbs put a lot of Big plays and yards against us.
Obviously pass rush is limited and this affect our secondary play,but if we want to have a succesfull run to the super Bowl we just need the offense playing 100% cause the defense is not good

Isn't the defense rated like top 5 in the NFL?

Yeah those guys suck

DJ Swearinger:

What a Great feeling!!! I got my 1st start as a Cardinal last night and We clinch the 2nd seed in the playoffs and are the West Champs. I contributed with 5 tackles 1 pbu (big hit) and a fumble recovery! God is Great I'm triple blessed!!

Someone tell that guy they haven't clinched the #2 seed yet. They still got something to play for this week!

Also, it wasn't perfect, but on short notice, I thought he held up fine in the time he got last night.

Re-sign...

This requires an official BIM ruling.

Resign? Re-sign?

I think you are partially correct.

We've been seeing a lot of short crossing patterns and I think for two reasons.

Our DB's are hard to throw deep on and it is good against the blitz. And let's face it , we blitz a lot.

This defense definitely plays better with a lead as most good defenses would. I agree, our success will hinge greatly on just how well this offense clicks. I just don't see us winning games against quality offenses like the Panthers, Seahawks, Steelers, Patriots and the Packers only scoring 13 or 16 points.

We have an effective defense but I would not consider it a great defense simply because the lack of a pass rush. Statistics are a bit misleading.

The non-called time out probably would not have happened if RJ26 was in there.
