I still don't get how people don't realize that Larry Fitzgerald was not the one who beat us today. He had a typical WR day. No touchdowns. No really huge plays. They did not gain any momentum on his plays. Rather, deficiences in the rest of the secondary, namely wide open receivers down the field not name Larry Fitzgerald, were the problem. We executed our plan to contain, not stop, Larry Fitzgerald. In that we succeeded. Now quit trying to pin this on gamble.

For the record, Gamble did not have a "bad" day.

However, he was not "impressive" to me given the fact he had help with Fitz most the game, and still got beat on a couple big gains.

FYI - Even after this game, Kevin Kolb has thrown more picks than TDs in his career with a 77.6 rating in 8 starts...

He just put up almost 30% of his total yardage in this one game than he has had in his BEST YEAR.

Our Secondary did not do well. Gamble... did not play well. I'm sorry.

Well, kinda like Cam Newton, Kevin Kolb may just be better than we all think. Was not a Kolb fan or a hater, but he made some nice throws into some tight windows. The only reason Fitz didn't have more yards and more touchdowns was because He wasnt open. Looks to me like Gamble did a fine job.

You can't blitz as much as Carolina did and still double receivers. And until that last catch, a perfect throw with decent coverage, Fitz had 2 catches for ~ 30 yards. Gamble played a good game against arguably the best receiver in the NFL.

Wow, Watching the game over again. I have to say that Gamble had Help a lot less then some in here are making it out to be. He had a safety deep on quite a few plays, but he was still man on Fitz for most of the game and held him to 3 catches. The First bigish play was on Gamble, he was supposed to cut under the WR tighter and that's why it was a Catch.

Gamble's job on the deep throw was to Jam him and run with him, the safety was supposed to have the deep covered and already be there. If the safety's there like he's supposed to be, then that isn't a catch. More likely an interception for Martin or Gamble.

Gamble played excellent.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By TD alt · Posted

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
