Carson Palmer and Tyrann Mathieu junk-timed their way off the Goats list.

I thought Jones was causing havok last night, he didnt get sacks but he had some QB hits and pressures, a tipped ball and more.

Nice!

My unsolicited opinion:

Listening to Keim on the radio this morning, he singled out Chandler Jones for having an amazing game. He said he didn't record a sack, but he was disruptive on nearly every play. I thought the front 7 as a whole had an awesome night, even though it didn't show up in the stat column. I'd give BA a Goat for the pass that got Brown hurt. Not thrilled with that call.

Jones had a crap load of pressures, which was noted by basically everyone who watched the game.

It's hard to find goats on a dominant victory like that. No one made any major mistakes that cost the Cards points or gave the Jets points.

My surprise goat:
Patrick Peterson - tried to play press coverage on Brandon Marshall & got burned for 3 catches for 70 yards & slipped down on Marshall's biggest play. He adjusted after that to playing off coverage & did much better in the 2nd half. Poor choice to play to the receiver's strength.

I thought Jones played pretty well too. I guess if you have to name goats in a blowout win it gets harder so I can't fault K9 for the choices but I did think Jones played pretty well.

I would have put Swearinger in over Mauro too because he made 2 big impact plays very quickly that basically salted the game away. But Mauro played well too.

We've beaten 2 bad teams in a row, now we have to beat a good one.

 

[crisper57]

Agree on Swearinger. In fact, after his INT, I had the thought that he would be a hero for K9 today. Ha!

I recall Jones being very effective in the trenches last night. he had a forced fumble that ended up not being a forced fumble, don't remember the specifics surrounding it though.

 

[juza76]

He had something like 7 pressures last night. I thought was his best game with us
He is not a liability anymore against the run

Humphreys I think he played fine, even if he is still not good as pass blocker.
I think in the third touchdown by David Johnson he created a hole in the middle by himself

In one of the 3 catches was Mathieu in coverage
The third catch by Marshall was just ridicolous, Peterson was almost perfect in coverage in that case.
Peterson made just one mistake on marshall second catch when he was suprised by Marshall cut in the middle

If you mean the one they ruled an incompleted pass, that was Nkemdiche that tipped it although it might have been jones that flushed the QB up into Nkemdiche.

I'm still not sure they got that call right? I think the ref assumed that the RB Powell was in front of the QB, further downfield, so if the QB was throwing the ball to him, it had to be a forward pass. But I'm not sure if Nkemdiche doesn't deflect that it doesn't wind up going backwards and that's what matters. he might have intended to flip it forward to Powell but I'm not sure it wasn't going to end up backwards.

I guess the default is where it landed if you can't be sure but they did say the arm was going forward and I'm not sure it really was it looked to me it was going sideways.

But I'm greedy.

even 3 for 70 is solid against an elite WR

True, but we're nitpicking goats after a good win.

Would have to say HB qualifies

True. Marshall is a beast.

My hero would be #41 from the Jets. He is the Brandon Williams of the JETS. Thankfully Keim was able to quickly pick up a couple other options at CB so that Williams doesn't have to see the field. I really felt bad for Bowles last night.

So I guess Keim would be my hero for figuring out that Williams wasn't going to cut it as a starter this year.

I have a hard time getting excited about Swearinger. The dude just needs to shut up. He was close to getting a personal four again last night for running his mouth again.

Going to double down on this, one of MArshall's catches was made with PP21 hitting him, shoving his hand into the guys face and bringing him down all at the same time. Amazing coverage, Marshall still caught it.

He made two MAJOR plays last night tho, gotta give him credit for that.

agreed his antics drive me nuts. but it was nice to see him in the right place more often than not, that's been his biggest issue aside from behavior, he freelances and blows plays too often.

On defense in the stadium (I was sober this time lol) I was intentionally watching the QB for hits and pressures and Jones was harrassing Fitzpatrick all night. Fitzpatrick has a pretty quick release and a knack for getting rid of the ball before he is sacked - even if it means throwing some pretty awful passes which he did several times to avoid sacks.

I would put Watford on the hero list, his effort and in particular run blocking was night and day better from last game. Him running down the field almost ahead of DJ on the 58 yd TD was something else.

 

[Stout]

Have to agree with you on Humphries--he stunk last night.

I think SK knew BW wasn't ready just had to wait until after week one to sign a player. Then the trade fell into his lap. But it shows he was looking the whole time. BW wasn't their first choice they brought in several vets they just all got hurt.
