I wonder who kicked him in the balls before the start of the season? He has shocked me too.

 

[PoolBoy]

Whiz said in post game interview he might have Beanie walk around all week holding the football. hhaha

We need to bitch about every player on the team and never, ever compliment anyone.

Who has caught the most grief from ASFN: Branch overall and Warner last week and look what happened. In week one it was the D getting bashed and the O getting the praise and look what happened. Beanie was the man last week and look what happened, Hightower has a big game.

So my take for this week:

Our entire team let down today. They HAVE to stop letting up once they get the lead or we'll be 5-11 just like always. And for God's sake would somebody learn to tackle in the open field. Look like a bunch of Matadors out there waving as the Bull runs by. Should give them all red capes.

Great win, plenty of kudos to go around.

 

[PJ1]

Both Branch and Watson were good today which was great to see. I was worried about both after preseason.

I promise I'm not stalking you DJ, another great post.

Maybe it would be easier to call out the non studs.

Spach, Beenie (2 fumbles), Highsmith.

Good and Bad: Beenie and Rolle.

I remember one play that Branch and Gabe caved one side in the OL and Drew was stopped for a 3 yard loss. My oldest was pretty amazed at that.

 

[Shzm13]

Offense: Warner & OL

Defense: Hayes, Dansby

ST: Calais, Rolle

 

[40yearfan]

I think Calais is trying to tackle the QB to high. And he did that on Big Ben in preseason too.

He'll get better. Nothing like real experience to gauge your skill level.

Congratulations on the win today Cards fans.
A nice,convincing smack down on the road out East.
Definate bounce back from week 1.
Well done

 

[overseascardfan]

Great team effort!

Warner: New NFL completeion% record!

Hightower: 4.8 yards per carry. Showed his goaline nose again and had a clutch 4th down catch!

Fitz: Solid self again even though he had me worried when he was moping after Wright TD.

Q: Looked like he is getting back to his old self. Clutch catch on that deflection!

Breaston: Boy does he open things up!

Entire OL: They gave Kurt plenty of time today and made great running lanes! Kudos to Levi for coming back and playing well hurt!

Branch: Wow was he good and disruptive today!

Hayes: I think this guy is the most consistent player on our D and is completely underrated league wide!

Mcfadden: Got away with a few PI but overall was VERY solid!

Berry: Brought pressure all day and got a sack and a fumble recovery!

The offense scored 24 points today because of them.

Add Calais Campbell. That kid is a baller. I knew we wouldn't miss Antonio!

Good call. How great is it that the Cardinals can replace guys like Antonio Smith? It looks like the 1,2,5 and 7 picks from 2008 could be great picks.

2008
1 - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB Tennessee State
2 - Calais Campbell, DE Miami (FL)
3 - Early Doucet, WR LSU
4 - Kenny Iwebema, DE Iowa
5 - Timothy Hightower, RB Richmond
6 - Christopher Harrington, DE Texas A&M
7 - Brandon Keith, T Northern Iowa

And from 2007, I think we're starting to realize just how much incredible value we are getting from the 5 pick.

2007
1 - Levi Brown, T Penn State
2 - Alan Branch, DT Michigan
3 - Buster Davis, LB Florida State
5 - Steve Breaston, WR Michigan
7 - Ben Patrick, TE Delaware
