Larry Fitzgerald vs. Cortland Finnegan

[Sam Mills Fan]

This looks to be a big, big problem on paper. Thoughts on how we can stop him? (I realize there are other great receivers on their team too, but this particular matchup is the one that's making my head hurt.)

Rolling Harper over the top may be the only option. Of course you also have to account for John Brown and JJ Nelson both are burners which would leave Coleman and Norman with single coverage. To me it's a huge problem.

KK Short. Pressure up the middle early and often. That will be the key. Make it so our CBs don't have to hold coverage for overly long. We need a feeding frenzy on Palmer.

Our offense scoring a lot of points.

This is probably the answer. Don't let Palmer stay upright

This is definitely a bad matchup for us.....it limits our ability to safety/corner blitz when the safeties are needing so much help to cover.  Getting pressure from the front 4 is going to be paramount.

Shaq. Flex him out on a slot wr jam them and play underneath. Just a thought. Wouldn't have to play man on him just some help.

Seeing how McClain struggled against a bigger receiver in Kearse, its also a concern on how he will do against Floyd...who is much better...

McClain will not be on Floyd .. That'll be JNos man I'm sure

We're going to have to get Palmer, no two ways about this.  If we can't they will burn our secondary all day long.

Thankfully Palmer is completely immobile. KK can pressure up the middle without worrying about him rolling out and taking off like Wilson. We don't have to devote any DEs to playing contain, either. Cam is the last mobile QB left in the playoffs, so we have a big advantage there.

Agreed.  We should be able to get to Palmer, but if we can't we're in trouble unless our offense can keep pace.  I said this before the Seattle game but Arizona always worried me more from a match up standpoint than Seattle ever did.
