Toler, Fitz, Hyphen, Hall, and DRC.
Many others to choose from which is a great thing!

Dockett made the play of the year with his forced fumble. Also brought a ton of pressure the entire second half.

I would add Rhodes to the list.

But he is no Rolle. ;)

And Lenon.

Really, isn't he just some scrub from losing teams that is even lucky to have a job? ;)

Defense really stepped up when it counted the most today.

DD gets a forced fumble.

Haggans gets a crushing sack.

Porter made several stops against the run game. He also got at least one holding call against the Saints made. BRob was on the field and contributed during several positive plays for the D.

Branch got a lot of playing time today and was very effective.

Money Mike got burnt on the TD pass but I wish we could take his heart and put it in DRC's body. DRC did step up big time at the end of the game but he simply doesn't like to tackle, especially RB's.

All I know is he should have learned from Nate Clements mistake last week and went to the ground. It was pretty but also pretty stupid!

Yep, imagine how good he'd be if he could make plays like Rolle used to!

I know, it seemed like everytime Antron touched the ball he scored a TD! If only Rhodes was that kind of playmaker! He never sniffs the endzone!

Add Graham to the list, he changed field possession all day. I saw a stat at some point of the game that showed the avg. starting field position was us at our own 40 & the Aints at their 20. You can win football games like that.

That was Graham and Hyphen too with his big kickoff returns. He is so good at suckering the coverage one way and then cutting it back. I actually think we are running misdirection returns now because he seems to get good blocking ahead like they know he's cutting it back.

DASH is awesome.

Frack the "Hyphen" moniker. If you want to talk about him having a hyphen in his name, call him DASH!!!

Dash...fast...quick...

Hyphen means...well...he has a hyphen in his name.

DASH. Fast. Quick. Kicks your ass.

I LOVE me some Dash.

Pass it along.

I was really impressed with Rhodes fumble return vs the Chargers. That was a heck of a move to get around a SD player, pick up the ball, fall down and get up while staying in bounds and then running in for a TD.

But let's not forget that Rolle picked up a fumble and ran it in for a TD to turn things back in our favor a couple of years ago. Rather important game too if I remember correctly.

1: Max Hall. He got first downs when the defense needed him to, and never seemed over matched against a Greg Williams defense.

2: LSH. He kept field position with the Cardinals, and gave the offense shorter fields.

3: Ben Graham. Same as LSH. He kept making the go the length of the field, and didn't allow a bog play in the return game.

4: Fitz. He was the security blanket that Hall needed and made some tough catches to keep Hall's confidence up.

5: Lenon. Rhodes had the big return, but Lenon's pick was a tough play that the Cardinals had to have. It kept the short field, and gave the Cards a prime chance to stay in the game. He was solid most of the game vs the run and pass. Even though he is obviously limited physically, he has been a surprise. Our defense needs players like him.

How about little Mikey Adams with a couple huge tackles on Betts, giving up 60 lbs... and a few great pass defenses... the TD to Colston was on an all out blitz where he had no help...

Nobody was creaming at DRC to just get the F down on the ground following his pick?

nah

come on man none or all of them could not rip it away from sMUSHDOWN LEVI BROWN if they wanted too!

He caught that ball with the softest hands and leaped gracefully into the end zone like a butterfly with sore feet.

Levi Brown ate the game ball against the saints. You gotta love that, If you don't love that

than yo might be a Niners fan!

You know your a Niners fan, when sing sing drops his pants and half the crowd rushes the vendors for a corndog and private toilet stall,

you know your a niner fan when????????
1. ESPN votes you the most likely to suck ceed
2. 0-5 gives you an oppurtunity to draft race cars
3. when the little engine that could-CAN'T!
I think I can't, I think I can't-I think I can'T

Toler, Fitz, Hyphen, Hall, and DRC.
Many others to choose from which is a great thing!

A question. On Brees' 50 yd. TD pass, a Cardinal defender came close to sacking him (and should have). Who was it?

From what I've heard and read, give a game ball to the fans at the game. When broadcasters are not just citing home field advantage in general, but that Arizona can have a significant home field advantage in particular--it's a remarkable thing. Especially when you remember how things used to be.
