Lito Sheppard - He Once Was An Eagle

[ice grillin you]

lito didn't play at all on D yesterday....not 1 play.  against a team with a potent passing attack like the cards.
crazy.

they didnt need him with the way assante samuel stepped up

[MadMarchHare]

Your boy Demps looked sharp too.  I'd have benched his ass after he laid out Warner.  That was beyond ridiculous.

[Tomahawk]

I couldn't help but to laugh. I mean he damn near knocked Warner right into the ref.

[Magical_Retard]

Outside of those 2 drives where the defense forced 3 and outs no one played well on D. Not a single one of them.

Not Demps, Dawkins, Mikell, the LBs, and def not the line. Does not help that JJ keeps employing the BLITZ EVERYONE AND LEAVE CORNERS ONE ON ONE defense.

[ice grillin you]

their corners are supposed to be left alone...they paid 30 million for one of them and have the luxory of benching a pro bowler...the whole reason to have them is so they can sit on an island while the blitzes kill the qb...problem is arizonas game plan brilliantly counteracted the blitz

[Magical_Retard]

im sorry but no corner can hold up against a fitz or boldin when the blitz does not reach and they are left on a island.

the times they forced a 3 and out was when the pressure got to warner. arizona did a great job of picking up the blitz and rendering the DLINE useless.

[ice grillin you]

they didnt pick up the blitz they negated it by throwing quick passes to the vacated area which was usually the strongside flat

[Magical_Retard]

point is it did not matter who was corner. if lito was in it would have made no difference.

JJ's lack of adjustment killed them there. the Dline once again fails to produce any pressure on its own.

[reese125]

I actually think Lito would of made a big difference had JJ changed on the fly

if JJ decided not to blitz for the 27th time, put Lito in more for zone coverage while the corners go one on one, Lito roams and could possibly make Warner to force silly mistakes--something hes prone to do.

but the only way you can do that is if the dline gets pressure as well--which we didnt get to see that much because Warner was banging 3-step drop passes. I did notice when he was taking 5-7 steps Cole was getting there here and there...but the other guys were doing nathanson

There are bad penalties and good penalties.

That was a great penalty.

[General_Failure]

That was a farging stupid penalty, you silly bitch. The Cardinals do not need help moving down the field. It didn't rattle Warner in the slightest. It intimidated no one. He was stupid enough to do it right in front of the ref.

[Zanshin]

Yep.  Embarrassing penalty.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Between that stupid penalty, him getting twisted into the ground by Fitz and then Abiamiri being a bonehead, Akers being off...so many farging mistakes.

The amount of mistakes and boneheaded plays helped ease some of the pain.  We can't look back and say "If only that one play hadn't happened than.............."  There were so many farg ups all around the field on Sunday where do we begin.  From the coaching booth, QB, Defense, ST, penalties, etc. the birds were fortunate to have scored 25 points. 

48 hours later and I'm still pissed.  I am going to be pissed for a long time, at least until the Phillies get their rings.

Happy thoughts, Don... happy thoughts.
