Fitz = STUD

#82 with the tackle

How is the Franzia?

It's flowing like wine, my friend.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Warner and co. looking very good there. Even Edge showing some moves, and that was a nice little run by Hightower. Cards come out of the gate strong, as expected.

 

[Chris Yandek]

Arizona is a team on a mission.

NFLN just showed some tailgaters in ARI and it was a sea of green. Sapp even commented "Wow, philly fans travel like college fans" Take over the UFO Dome

I guess it was a sea of green outside because they couldn't get tickets to the game, it is a sea of red inside.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Awesome first drive, and then your kicker follows it up putting the kickoff out of bounds, giving Philly the ball at the 40.

Arizona is a team on a mission.

So they'll return after two years and still have all of their eligibility?

 

[delusional]

Thatta'boy donny

 

[Chase Stuart]

Great play by McNabb there. Showed some burst, too.

 

[Pskov1420]

I don't think the Cardinals showed the any formation more than once on that drive. They mixed up the playcalling really well.

 

[Mighty Mice]

McNabb scramble after that KO out of bounds....Eagles already in ARI territory.

OLD SCHOOL McNabb!

 

[T Bell]

Any doubt they're passing on 3rd down here?

 

[Chase Stuart]

Nice tackle by Wilson there -- with all the Dawkins, Reed and Polamolu talk this week, Wilson sadly falls under the radar in the elite safety discussion.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Great job by Philly O-Line. Critical 3rd down pick-up.

 

[VTjkru]

I never really understood having three guys rush the QB (actually, it was only really two) in situations like that last one.

Changing up coverage to confuse the QB? What's so mysterious about that?

 

[bostonfred]

Manning vs. Williams was absolutely terrible

 

[T Bell]

The Manning-Williams ads need to go.

That is fine, but I also hate a three-man rush, especially when it was only 3rd and 5 there. It is difficult to generate good pressure with three guys, and with more time, someone is gonna get open, especially on a 3rd and 5. That aside, this is looking to be a good one.

#$@$! I was on the road and thought this started 3:30! anyone give me a brief recap other than what I can see on trhe NFL.com "game center"?

Well, there's a BIG stadium and the Cardinals are in red jerseys- oh, and Joe Buck is annoying! /Johnny

 

[Saints-Man]

What is the seating capacity for the Cardinals' stadium?

 

[Football Jones]

This game might get out of hand really quick. Philly has GOT to get pressure on Warner. If not, it very likely could be a massacre.

 

[Chase Stuart]

What is the seating capacity for the Cardinals' stadium?

63,400 permanent seats (can be expanded to 73,719)

 

[T Bell]

Edge is clearly feeling spry, running laterally against that defense.

 

[T Bell]

Fitz looks very quick and strong right now. Nobody's brought him down on the first hit.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Eagles defense adjusts, 3 and out.

Interesting to see a 4-1-6 defense on 3rd / 9.

 

[Saints-Man]

dThanks Chase!!Looks like a great crowd for the Cardinals today.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Good response by Philly after that ~5:30 minute TD drive. A couple 1st downs, a FG, and a 3 and out. Eagles a chance to grab big MO here.

 

[T Bell]

Someone needs to tell the Cards kickers that their aiming points should be closer to the FG post.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Philly's finally bringing the real pressure now.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Big edge early in the kicking game to Philly. Poor KO and punt by ARI. Akers look great.

 

[Saints-Man]

Fitz looks very quick and strong right now. Nobody's brought him down on the first hit.

I agree. He looks better than I have seen him previously(he has always looked good).

 

[Ghost Rider]

Arizona's special teams are not good so far. That will burn them if the poor play continues.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Someone needs to tell the Cards kickers that their aiming points should be closer to the FG post.

Looked to me like they were very afraid of Jackson there.

 

[Football Jones]

This upcoming drive by the Eagles could be very telling. Probably one of the key drives of the game, IMO (as far as forecasting how well Philly is likely to handle the Cards' hot D).

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Quick answer:You missed 2 drives.AZ got a touchback, moved the chains well with good run/pass mix. Warner 4/4, 2 each to Boldin and Fitz. Nothing really deep. Eagles coverage wasn't very tight and they took advantage. Cole pressed hard on the right and Edge ran behind that gap twice for big gains. Fitz catch #2 for the TD.PHI gets ball at 40 after kick OOB. McNabb moves the chains, mostly on a 21-yd run. Drive does stall, field goal.7-3.

 

[T Bell]

Who says Donnie Mac is an innaccurate passer!

 

[delusional]

Think warner knows more then most OCs in the game today

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

DeSean with the save!!!!

 

[T Bell]

Wow! Eagles dodged a huge bullet there!

 

[Moe Green]

Eagles got a break there. Great play.

 

[jurb26]

That's an incredible play by D. Jackson.

 

[delusional]

Also they need to start a new stat with interceptions.

Face it, not all INTs are a QBs fault just as we saw.

 

[lyon812]

Man, there are few things I hate more than seeing a turnover negated by someone carrying the ball like a moron.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Big Play!!! Way to get back into the play by DJAX!!!

 

[Chase Stuart]

OOOOF. Is Marlon McCree on the Cardinals?

 

[SPM]

got to pay attention there

 

[Moe Green]

Didn't think the little twig had it in him. Never saw him do anything like that at Berkeley.

 

[Chase Stuart]

FYI -- that's why you only rush three players. Having eight guys back there was the reason the Cards got that INT.
