We should have drafted Pacman

[LVCARDFREAK]

He shut down Anquan yesterday-completly. They played man up and he did a phenomenal job not letting him off the line all day long. Cards had to revert to reverses to get Anquan the ball yesterday. This from a guy who is practically half Anquans size.

He is an exciting player that will be considered a "shut down" corner in years to come and with the added threat of his exciting punt returns, he should have been the pick instead of Rolle.

Now granted he was gone by the time the Cards picked, but from all I have heard from Green post draft was that Rolle was the guy. Rediculous! He will be good as well but not as a CB.

Best pure cover corner in the draft last year imo

Im quite happy with Rolle. Not only will he be a great cover corner, he will shut down sweeps ran his way. How many CB's do that?

 

[Russ Smith]

Hasn't Pacman already allowed 6 passing TD's this year? I think they said that during the game yesterday.

at the half Rob Moore said the Cards were letting Pacman off the hook, that they were jumping all the short routes instead of attacking him downfield. He said if you ask around everyone will tell you while he's very fast, he has problems in space and that's why he gives up so many TD passes.

But you have to give him credit despite the drops he completely shut Anquan out.

Pacman was on BJ a lot yesterday. In fact, I think it was BJ he tackled instead of guarding for what would have been a sure touchdown in the SEZ, and got called for pass interference instead.

I wasn't all that impressed with Pacman personally; Boldin was open and dropped the ball, caught the ball out of bounds, was open and not thrown to or the ball wasn't thrown anywhere near him by "can't throw on the run" McCown. Heck, I might have been able to "shut down" Boldin yesterday. And I could have tackled BJ after getting burnt by him just as easily as Jones.

 

[jefftheshark]

Uh, wasn't Pacman selected before our pick?

Maybe we should have drafted Cadillac Williams too.

The Shark

 

[MadCardDisease]

Boldin toasted pacman and force pacman to tackle him for a pass interference call. That would have been a TD.

Pacman didn't do anything returning the ball either.

I'm not very impressed.

And we should have drafted Alex Smith.

Stupid Cardinals.

No, we should have signed Peyton Manning as a free agent.

Boldins head shut Boldin out yesterday. Not Pacman. Bolidin had three good balls right in his hands that he flat out dropped. He had the other 40 yard bomb that all he had to to was tap his toe and it would have been a catch. Another mental error. For soem reason or another he just didnt show up mentally yesterday.

 

[football karma]

For the most part -- the Titans played zone behind both corners

Much to early to label either of these the best or even if they will be better than average.

Rob Moore... like, the old Cards receiver? He is doing radio annoucing? or am i missing something?

he was in the booth at halftime on Sirius radio.

 

[CardinalChris]

Because we have too many punt returners NOT fumbling?

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

While we are on it; We should have drafted Ladanian Tomlinson over Leonard Davis.

McCown threw the ball to Boldin only 4 times yesterday. On one play in the first quarter the ball popped out when he hit the ground. There was one out where it hit him in the hands and he should have had it for a first.

On the 40 yard bomb that was McCowns fault. If McCown throws it over Boldins inside shoulder, Boldin scores a TD.

Yes, it was.

Nope I counted sepcifically three dropped balls. That was both times I watched the game. Sorry but if Boldin had his head in the game he could have easily drug his foot on that long ball. McCown had good placement.

I was sitting right at the 40 yard line across the field. The way I saw it was Boldin was looking over his left shoulder streaking down the sideline. As the ball approached him he had to adjust to it because it was drifting to over his outside shoulder. Boldin had to tilt his head straight backwards while he headed towards the sideline to make the catch. To concentrate and make a catch like that is amazing. Having to look back like that there is no way he could have know where the sideline was.

Again if that ball was thrown over his left shoulder it would have been a TD. I credit McCown for excaping the pressure. I credit McCown for finding the Open WR. I blame McCown for blowing the throw and costing us a TD.

Thats nice you had a good view. But I had a better view sitting in my living room with slow motion replay from more than one angle.

Even if boldin didnt know where the sideline was a good WR with his head in the game will make an attempt to tiptoe the line no matter what in that situation. Just in case he may be close to the outside. Boldin didnt even try.

 

[Dback Jon]

No thanks on Adam Jones - the guy is a total buffoon who has no respect for anyone, and odds on the which comes first jail/ProBowl heavily favor Jail.

Even if you are correct and Boldin didn't want to be in bounds. It doesn't excuse the fact that McCown blew the throw. I still say it would have been a TD if thrown properly.

As a matter of fact, YES
