Welcome to the NFL, DRC. Hopefully this is just a sign of things to come. I will though that neither of those were ‘gift’ INTs. He either made a great play or just had really good coverage on both.

Another good game for Warner. The two turnover aren’t good but 395 makes up for it, I guess. I agree though, he’s the only legit-MVP candidate.

Another guy who’ll I’ve give props to tomorrow: Neil Rackers. He hasn’t made a ‘pressure’ kick yet, even I can’t complain about his current streak. What’s that 13 in a row? And he booted a 54 yarder. Nice job Neil.

I was just looking at ESPN’s article about the Cardinals win today. There was a small section in there about Wilson’s hit on Hasselback. I was surprised to see Hasselback’s comment about wanting Wilson to get a fine for the hit. I was also surprised to learn that Wilson received a $25K fine for his hit on Trent Edwards from the Bills game. That hit was completely clean, this one I could understand some smack talk about, and maybe a fine. But what is it coming to when players are getting fined for sacking the quarterback. You don’t see fines coming out for the players who hit and injure Running backs.

My stance is simply if something illegal takes place then fine someone, but if it’s a legitimate play, then fine the person who should have been blocking him if you need to dish out fines.

Just my two cents about that. I’m hoping Wilson doesn’t end up with a suspension or something that would take him out of next weeks game.

We could really be seeing 2 pink slips handed out this week.
There has to be a punter out there with a better leg than Dirk and his kicking the last 2 weeks under pressure has been pathetic.
Pope though has really disappointed though – penalties and lack of production is inexcusable. I can’t see anyone giving much of a hoot if he was cut. I mean he has all the attributes to be successfull and has rarely shown the ability.
Dansby seems to be just a bonehead – last weeks penalty and this weeks fumble. At least he makes plays and is a threat. It is going to be interesting when contract negotiation comes around to see what it costs him.

Pope had a few good touchdowns last year, but this year his superior has been Ben Patrick when he’s healthy.

Dirk is a great holder, and little else. A great punter is just a phone call away, and if we’re going to continue to make strides and improve in these next couple of weeks there are two big parts of Special Teams that need to be improved:
 1) Wrapping up the return man.
 2) Punting the ball high and far.

These two issues combined have been the reason opposing offenses are getting great field position (not counting fumbles inside the 20 of course). If we did one of these two well then the other wouldn’t be such a big deal, but combined these two issues on Special Teams are going to kill us.
