Here Cooley talks about their aggressiveness. They did get after us with a couple double A gap blitz looks. Smith went down against one of them. He got away from several others, and Gruden countered them beautifully with RPOs and screens to Thompson.

Reading the pregame thread, there was a little bit of doom and gloom or at least a lot of pessimism going on about the Cards game. Most people felt the Cards were a very good team and the 'skins would struggle, even if they felt the 'skins would pull out the W. Now that the 'skins pretty much beat up on the Cards, the sentiment was, "Well, the Cards are an awful team!"

I'm like you, I don't think the Cards are an awful team. I think the 'skins really have improved a lot and folks need to be ready for a solid 'skins team this year.
