Cardinals quietly #2 in rush defense...#1 in yards per attempt.

Oh Grits

cam newton, deangelo williams, and possibly kenjon barner will be the first real rushing threats the cardinals have faced this season.

Our Defense will give our Offense a chance to wear their Defense out by 3rd quarter.  End of story!!

 

Gooooo  Panthers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I agree. The Cardinals are one dimensional offensively...and that dimension is not very good. They only rush for around 78 ypg. Carson Palmer is pedestrian. Their pass protection has been decent, but the Carolina defense should put together another dominant performance.

You have to keep in mind they've played the Ramd who are TERRIBLE in the run game and the Saints who choose not to run.

Tampa started a rookie QB so they sold out to stop Martin and force the rook to throw.

Their run D is going to meet an entirely different animal tomorrow.

But didnt they lose to the Saints by like 30 something points a couple weeks ago?

3 passing tds, 1 rushing td...all from drew brees.

31-7. NO ran for 104 yards on 24 carries while the Mole threw it 46 times.

Actually, you can also question whether Carolina's offensive rushing stats are "for real".

 

I personally think they are, but the competition has been questionable...

 

Seattle ranks 18th in rush defense

Buffalo ranks 24th

Giants rank    28th

 

Of course, the numbers Carolina has put up against them contributes to those stats, but still.

I am interested to see what this team can do on the ground against a really top tier unit.

[Jackofalltrades]

Who's the top tier unit?

Rams- 32nd at 2.0 ypc

Detroit- 22nd at 3.6

Saints- 26th at 3.4

Tampa- 19th at 3.6

Only one good running team there, normally and Azi focused on that not only as their strength, but as their only hope of getting their rookie QB some help.

I think the level of competition has been tougher for us. I like the good guys in this match up.

[JawnyBlaze]

Something I noticed when watching the AZ-Car preview, Carolina has the top defense in the NFC in ppg at 12.  Was a pleasant surprise.

31-7. NO ran for 104 yards on 24 carries while the Mole threw it 46 times.

And isnt NO's run game (or lack therof) pretty terrible?

It's better than half the 40 threads you start everyday.

Lol, says the guy who said Charles Johnson is more talented than Kuechly. I could quote all of your shitty posts, but I find the ignorant entertaining.

[jtnc]

Stop being a dick

If you wanted less dicking around here, I probably wouldn't have unbanned Trucatzfan. So, therefore, you promote dicking.

Now that we have figured out what we have in Ginn and with Lafell starting step up and hopefully Barner catching some passes with great yac, I don't think we'll be last in pass for long
