My man @gregcosell always brings it on @SiriusXMNFL. Talking Cam he said AZ has "No speed at safety. Wilson/Rhodes can't run."

It would be nice to see Armstrong, Gaffney, and Moss getting deep frequently! (and Rex hitting them in stride, and them holding on to the ball, and scoring multiple TDs!)

I just heard Ross on NFL radio saying he likes the Skins to go 2-0. Cards secondary will have their hands full, maybe even worse than last week.

Im not buying the blowout talk or already counting this team with a 2-0 record. No freakin way. Not close.

Arizona's offense is nothing to laugh at. Like I stated before, their offense will bring a much tougher challenge than the Giants.

Tougher on the whole? Debatable. Cards running game is worse. Cards receiving corps is better than the Giants, but not by much. Nicks is pretty DAMN GOOD in his own right. And don't forget Manningham punishing Hall for Hall's lack of tackling skill.

Korn on the Kolb might be good, might not be good. We hit him, and he'll screw things up. Guaranteed.

Its debateable, but I clearly see the Cards better. Ive stated before Nicks is the best player on the field for the Giants period. He's incredible. But the Cards' TEs, WRs, and QB are better than the Giants, right now. Kolb has been playing at a high level all preseason and once again in their first game, Eli has struggled all camp and obviously his first game. The thing that has surprised me the most, is Benie Wells...all reports outta camp was that this guy was a monster. He had finally gotten his fundementals down. Showed first game. The Oline is their weakness and we can attack it fo sho, BUT we are gonna have to play much stronger in the secondary.

[Ruhskins]

I think our pass rush will decide whether we win this game or not. I don't think we can shut down Fitz, and Kolb has some nice options in Doucet and Heap. Cofield and Neild need to come up big (well mainly Cofield, Neild just needs to continue to do what he did in Gm 1) in collapsing the pocket and giving the LBs opportunities to go after Kolb.

On the offensive side of the ball, our line needs to protect Rex, so he can take advantage of their secondary. If we take the lead early in the game, it will allow our defense to be more aggressive and go after Kolb.

[Alvin Walton]

I think we'll sack Lomax five or six times.

I hope we sack Lomax ( Neil ) too , as he has already shown he can light us up St. Louis Cardinals at Washington Redskins - December 16th, 1984 - Pro-Football-Reference.com

Cards offense might be better than the Giants, but I still like our D more.

And I definitely like our O vs. their D.

An advantage our D has was our crowd last sunday. Damn when our D was on the field last week the crowd was loud as sh*t through the TV. Havent heard that in a long long time.

I agree. On the whole their linebackers are not very good in coverage. Their secondary lacks talent aside from Peterson (Wilson has slowed down) and Peterson is still making rookie errors. Our receivers, especially our TE's, should have a fine day.

Of course, all of this is dependent on Good Rex making an appearance.

I agree Lotus. Our TE sets are going to eat them alive.
