A Great Positive to Take Away

[Matthias]

We got a lot of pressure on Wilson today.  In fact, we were able to get pressure on him for the most part of the game.  If this wasn't Russell Wilson, let's say if this was Carson Palmer, the opposition wouldn't have scored as many points.  Shoot at one point Jared Allen had Wilson dead to rights, but Wilson got away from him just enough to throw one into the endzone.  Next week if we can get that same pressure on Palmer, there's no way he will be able to convert anything much less touchdowns.  Look at what Seattle did to the Cards the last week of the season.

Even with the let down of the second half, I'm confident we will beat the Cards down, in spite of our secondary woes.

He moves around in the pocket to extend plays but Russell's quickness is what seperates him.

He had a great play in extending time to find Fitz in overtime.  Yet with the kind of pressure we applied on Wilson, I doubt Palmer will be able to escape.

Wow perspective.

Optimism.

 

What the hell man?

Wilson's a super tough QB to pressure for a whole game. They had him so many times but it's like catching a greased pig. If they can save some of that 1st half pressure for half #2 next week, it's gonna be a long day for Palmer.

I hate Wilson like I used to hate Vick. Palmer is a statue...our defensive showing today bodes well.

[Toker Smurf]

Good point,  assuming we can do the same against Zonas Oline. Wilson was killing us in the 2nd half,  running it up the middle.

We played a better first half than they played a second half.  Bout all I got out of it.

AZ WR's are good, better than Seattles.  Indeed, we had better pressure Palmer AND stop their rookie RB

[Prowling Cat]

Yeah, the way we handled Wilson in the first half. Its a very big positive. Hopefully we can apply that in the games to come.

We had penetration on Wilson when we tried. We played a lot more contain on him on the second half and that's how he started to pick up yards and make plays happen. You gotta hit him in the mouth before he realizes he should be running. I hope our DE rotation is a bit better next week to keep our guys fresh. Palmer isn't as big of a threat to run as Wilson but he's got plenty of targets and knows how to get the ball out quick. We can't be doing this 10 yards off poo like we did with Wilson. Disrupting timing on routes and stopping the run will be a huge focus. fug Russell Wilson.
