Thoughts on the Cardinals game

Matt Schaub held the ball longer on the first play from scrimmage, looking downfield for an open receiver, than David Carr did all of last season. I can't prove that, but I believe it to be true.
Either Ed Hochule has gotten off the juice or he is wearing a larger jersey this season.
There are obviously two more games after this, but at this point, I think Zach Diles is going to be around for a while.
I don't know what you prove by running a WR pass on the first play from scrimmage...in a preseason game. All you've done is put regular season opponents on notice that you've got that one in your playbook. Seems like a waste to me.
Remind me why I have Dish Network again? I lost nearly the entire first quarter due to a bad signal. Went from the Cardinals' second play from scrimmage to the Schaub TD run. This analysis is going to be a lot shorter than I had anticipated. Kubes must have listened to Spencer T last week, who specifically called for the naked boot at the goal line.
It's still early, but after giving up only 57 yards on 21 carries to Chicago last week, and getting off to a good start today, I'm pretty optimistic about the run defense. Of course with Petey Faggins as a starting corner, I'm not sure why you'd bother running the ball against us. And the pass rush? From what I've seen, non-existent...and remember what I mentioned earlier about AZ's banged-up offensive line?
How high is too high to draft Adrian Peterson in my fantasy draft?
Antrell Rolle is a BIG corner. But he doesn't have the chemistry with Dunta that Petey has, and that's 90% of the battle.
We will obviously have to limit mentions of this at some point, but while it's still the preseason: David Carr looked like an NFLQB, but Matt Schaub plays like an NFL QB.
Congress getting nothing done. Tiger winning majors. Kurt Warner fumbling. Some things never change.
Couldn't agree more with the comments regarding Danny Clark. He's playing like his jock's on fire. Petey Faggins, on the other hand, is just getting burned.
Couldn't agree more with the comments regarding the no-calls on holding. The tackles are holding on nearly every play.
The Scott Player lookalike moustaches in the crowd are priceless. How could Texans' fans similarly honor our own Chad Stanley? Our commenters should have a field day with that one.
Something tells me Kubes is going to enjoy watching the playaction completion from Sage to Jacoby over and over and over...that's how this offense is supposed to operate.
I'm going to ProTrade right now and mortgaging my house on Second Life to buy stock in Jacoby Jones. Hopefully I have some money left over from buying put contracts on Petey Faggins.
That concludes the first half. Not sure if I'll make it through the second half...Richard Scarry is calling.
