Ask Revenge of the Birds

He looked good in the preseason and I haven’t heard anything as far as the Cardinals looking for somebody next year or the year after.

regarding the pass defense situation

He had a case of fumblitis in Jacksonville but has held on ok since then. He’s not the starter yet and the Cardinals haven’t given him the rock much. Everytime he gets the ball he’s a threat. Hopefully you see a lot of him on Sunday. The run blocking has been just as bad as last year and we need help

But since have fallen off. It could be the quick releases of Matt Schaub and Peyton Manning also. I think they should get at least two on Sunday. Bill Davis(def coor) will try some different looks because what we’ve been doing isnt working. Watch out for Calais Campbell. He’s been an impact player so far this year.

When you have two other receivers wanting the ball(Breaston, Boldin), that’s going to happen. Not to mention our offense started the year out of synce, and defenses have been putting more coverage on Larry as well. The season’s still young so we may see his numbers increase by the end of the year. He’s on pace for over 1,000 yards and 16 TDs though.

It was big over the off season and now they’re just blaming the 2-2 start on it. I think teams just have trouble repeating success period. See the Titans, Dolphins, Steelers, and Chargers. All were playoff teams last year and all have started slow.

so much as the most variable factor. We have a totally beat up line that somehow held the Jags to one sack and Arizona’s pass rush hasn’t been impressive either. So how will that play out? Seattle D has been mediocre to bad at rushing the passer until last Sunday – against a respectable O-line. How will THAT play out? I don’t think anyone has a sure answer for either question.

We know that both QBs can pass well given time in the pocket, that neither Arizona nor Seattle are likely to run very well, and that both teams have dangerous receivers.

However, if somehow Seattle’s receivers don’t get open enough or Matt or Kurt get hit good or one team starts running respectably and eats up the clock, then those could be more key.

We won’t run the ball well. Our pass rush may be the story of the game, if it’s a success. Hopefully it shows up, hopefully it’s not showing up consistently but consistently too late. But not the biggest key. It could show up and we could still lose. Unfortunately, I think it’s slightly more likely that we’ll lose than that we’ll win.

But the biggest key for me would be out secondary against your passing offense. It killed us last week and let the Texans back into the game. It was also an issue against the 49ers, Colts and Jaguars. Whether we get out to a big lead or not, we’ll need to contain your receivers.

that he gives a split for edge in offensive line, and I would give the edge to the Cards. Their tackles are poor pass blockers, but it’s not totally restricting. They’re better run blockers. The interior is better at pass blocking, which helps alleviate the tackles, there’s often room to step up and Warner has good pocket presence. The interior is worse at run blocking, which quashes their run game pretty good.

Ours? We’ve got some hurt guys. Ray Willis is doing allright. Spencer’s become good. Unger’s been promising. I didn’t have time to evaluate Wrotto — hopefully John will — but from the preseason I was left wanting. They’ve held up better than might be expecting considering all things, but I’d give the edge to the Cards there.

Other quibble would be the methodology. The matchup ought to be compared in field matchup components.

The Texans owned us with short passes all day because everybody was caught out of coverage. We need more youth at linebacker.

I made a post. Anyone here at FG, feel free to answer any questions RotB posters put in the post.
