Well said. Of course Cards D isn't exactly scarry.

Wallace does have some speed.
Summers to the outside? I see Arians is warmed up and in mid-season play calling form.
Summers spot is in jeapoardy from what I've seen tonight.

Damn - Bruce Davis makes an INT.

but come on guys


you guys saw those catches he made, those were no joke.


like Nate Nate,
makes the amazing catch
drops the routine.




True...


I sure hope he establishes more consistency, i still believe he has alot of upside.





On another note, i'm really not that impressed with Mendenhall, and I like what i'm seeing from Wallace, just the small glimpses.



He was having problems getting his chin strapped buckled apparently and never did get it. Announcers made a comment about it. So we'll blame that one on he was distracted from the start.

his first two conversions in the first half were pretty damn good.



He jumps over the underthrown ball and reaches down below the defender and "David Terrell's" him.


THen in the other catch he just his pure vertical and size as a recieving target.


A receiever like him could help this offense out so much...

I was going to say the same thing. I thought our o-line was absolutely putrid at run blocking tonight. I though Arians play calling was putrid as well. I've never seen a more predictable offensive co-ordinator in my life.

It wasn't Reed I'm not sure who that joker was but it wasn't Reed.

don't know about yous guys but my favorite play of the game was when deebo jacked up matt lienart. the face of pain he had running off the field was epic. i absolutely can't wait to see this defense get after the QB this year. hood looks like a beast as did woodley...and now timmons full time :celebrate: if you had to pick a starting LB on this team to hit you (minus farrior) who would it be?

Is anyone in hear mentioning Shaun McDonald? That guy looked like a seasoned pro - 4 or 5 catches in the middle of the field. Don't think they'll miss Nate Warshington much.

I think they might miss Washington on the deep routes if Sweed or Wallace can’t step it up but overall I think the offense should be better. I actually like our depth at WR better this year (another year in for Sweed and adding Wallace and McDonald) as well as the potential and we should be a lot better at running back with Mendenhall back. If the offensive line can gel a little more with another year playing together this could be a much improved offense…
