Week 1's "Step Into My Office"

[Dpantherman]

DeAngelo Williams and DTs

I agree to an extent. It was clear that Arizona came prepared to shut down the run and make Cam throw. To their surprise...He can actually throw. But you expect more out of your top dollar rusher.

[mav1234]

honestly D-Will never had room, and for some reason, we never ran plays to get him in space.

[Proudiddy]

I, personally, would add Chud to that list as an honorable mention.

His play calling was better than Fox's, but we abandoned the run early. A simple change to unbalanced o-line ups and off tackle runs gave us some daylight, but he didn't keep it up. It could have made a huge difference to our run game had they started using less conventional run plays. There should have been more draws too.

I can't really blame him for abandoning the run, it all goes back to execution. Cards were already coming into the game looking to shut down the run first... Add to that the fact that our fat and useless OL couldn't hold their blocks... Well, there was no where to run unless you cut back. And in Stew's case, he had to break 10 tackles just to get 4 yards. It was pathetic.

Bright side to this? Packers have a lot to think about, and if the OL is worth a sh*t next week, then we should be able to run as they have to respect the pass now.

[Proudiddy]

Would also like to add the refs...

Apparently the old adage "there is holding on every play" was a reality for them today when we were on offense.

But, they conveniently forgot that the defense is also capable of holding, especially on the last pass to Goodson.

[mercules20]

Panther secondary isn't good enough to blitz like that. If McDermott is smart he'll realize that.

honestly it wasn't that bad man

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Half the ST unit running by Peterson, thinking he called for a fair catch.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Of all this, it still doesn't compare to how many times we drove into AZ territory and left with no points. Would have won by a landslide has we finished drives.

Have. To. Finish. Drives.

[cptx]

Blitzing is all well and good, but a full house blitz on an empty backfield (ie: empty as in 5 WR sets) Is just f*cking stupid.

Mcdermott should know better.

no way dude i used to to that in madden 98 all the time and id have like 200 sacks with the NT. :willy_nilly:

[Tarheel31]

I'd add Sherrod Martin for NOT being over the top on the 3rd and long to Fitzgerald late in the 4th.

That cost us 1:30 and 20 yards of field position.

[Proudiddy]

Also, Olindo Mare. 3 Mil a year, and he can't attempt a 55 yard FG in an indoor stadium. :lol:

[SOJA]

Dante wesley would have never let that happen

[Tarheel31]

Another thing, we punted in the first when we had a 52 yard FG opportunity.

What is Mare's range?

Kasay could still hammer that through.

[Lumps]

I would like to add penalties, wayyy too many. Guess that's on a few.

Well Im pretty sure someone was supposed to run a check there... Thats why the Beason injury was so bad... no one to command the defense.
