Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread

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.

Its debateable, but I clearly see the Cards better. Ive stated before Nicks is the best player on the field for the Giants period. He's incredible. But the Cards' TEs, WRs, and QB are better than the Giants, right now. Kolb has been playing at a high level all preseason and once again in their first game, Eli has struggled all camp and obviously his first game. The thing that has surprised me the most, is Benie Wells...all reports outta camp was that this guy was a monster. He had finally gotten his fundementals down. Showed first game. The Oline is their weakness and we can attack it fo sho, BUT we are gonna have to play much stronger in the secondary.

Cards offense might be better than the Giants, but I still like our D more.

And I definitely like our O vs. their D.

Skins 34 - arizona 17

Redskins 38
Cards 35

Have to stick to my initial prediction that we win by a field goal.

An advantage our D has was our crowd last sunday. Damn when our D was on the field last week the crowd was loud as sh*t through the TV. Havent heard that in a long long time.

i checked the baltimore tv guide and the skins game wont be televised b/c of the ravens game is also at 1 pm. . . . sly fox is going to be packed early now, to buy their 5 dollar beers

I agree. On the whole their linebackers are not very good in coverage. Their secondary lacks talent aside from Peterson (Wilson has slowed down) and Peterson is still making rookie errors. Our receivers, especially our TE's, should have a fine day.

Of course, all of this is dependent on Good Rex making an appearance.

I agree Lotus. Our TE sets are going to eat them alive.

I don't see Zona scoring anything but FG's. We win.

I stopped after the first post:



And the Cards barely slipped by a Panthers team that won 2 games last year, and got lit up by a rookie QB.

:doh:

Ditto! I feel like the ending of Billy Madison and feel dumber for having read some of their statements. Probably the dumbest thing they said was that they had an advantage at TE and one dude even went as far as saying they have the best TE set in the league?!?! I know our combo is on the rise and isn't there yet but Jeff King and Todd Heap, seriously? Best combo to me is Antonio Gates and whoever his backup is or Gradkowski and Hernandez in NE IMO.

Now as far as a prediction goes, I think their passing offense is obviously the main thing we should fear, but I still see us winning by about 10 points as we have both a decent passing attack against their suspect secondary and a solid rushing game especially if we see more packages with Helu and/or Torrain to mix it up.

and we r finally getting pressure on defense without blitzing, but when we do blitz mcintosh, fletcher, hall, etc were getting atleast a hit on Manning almost every time.
