Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread

We had some crazy games vs the Cards when they were in ST Louis Redskins, Cardinals Have Intriguing History (http://www.redskins.com/news-and-events/article-1/Redskins-Cardinals-Have-Intriguing-History/4a45221a-0709-4a32-bf4b-63e2c7adbbdd) . On a MNF Game , Eddie Brown put on a show in a muddy thriller St. Louis Cardinals at Washington Redskins - October 25th, 1976 - Pro-Football-Reference.com (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/197610250was.htm) . I hope we establish the run early , build a lead and tee off on Kolb .

I think HighT will be able to provide our team with some offensive insight.

I also see us winning this game. I see it being close early. Then as the game moves forward we pull out ahead. Of course without the added pressure and energy that the 9/11 game brought we may have more focus early on and provide us a way to get out to a lead early on. Who knows. LOL

I just want to see us build off of the Giants game. Also I want to see the some of the same things as far as the defense and the passing game. Better OL play, building on the running game, JW and DH: who ever is playing Fitz at the time hold your own don't get owned, Gano making a FG or 2 if given the chance, and Rex being turnover free would go a long way to getting another W.

My man @gregcosell always brings it on @SiriusXMNFL. Talking Cam he said AZ has "No speed at safety. Wilson/Rhodes can't run."

It would be nice to see Armstrong, Gaffney, and Moss getting deep frequently! (and Rex hitting them in stride, and them holding on to the ball, and scoring multiple TDs!)

I just heard Ross on NFL radio saying he likes the Skins to go 2-0. Cards secondary will have their hands full, maybe even worse than last week.

Im not buying the blowout talk or already counting this team with a 2-0 record. No freakin way. Not close.

Arizona's offense is nothing to laugh at. Like I stated before, their offense will bring a much tougher challenge than the Giants.

I think our pass rush will decide whether we win this game or not. I don't think we can shut down Fitz, and Kolb has some nice options in Doucet and Heap. Cofield and Neild need to come up big (well mainly Cofield, Neild just needs to continue to do what he did in Gm 1) in collapsing the pocket and giving the LBs opportunities to go after Kolb.

On the offensive side of the ball, our line needs to protect Rex, so he can take advantage of their secondary. If we take the lead early in the game, it will allow our defense to be more aggressive and go after Kolb.

I think we'll sack Lomax five or six times.

Tougher on the whole? Debatable. Cards running game is worse. Cards receiving corps is better than the Giants, but not by much. Nicks is pretty DAMN GOOD in his own right. And don't forget Manningham punishing Hall for Hall's lack of tackling skill.

Korn on the Kolb might be good, might not be good. We hit him, and he'll screw things up. Guaranteed.
