Defense

The D did a solid job of containing the passing game of the cardinals. Warner was only sacked twice all game, however he was taken out of rhythm enough for us to scrape out another W. The run D was concerning because wee let a mediocre line make lanes for an aging back, but when it counted we took charge and stopped em every time. Rocky McIntosh is blossoming into an excellent OLB, and Kedric Golston is performing better week in and week out. I hope to see more from Anthony Montgomery as well as he continues to heal. Andre Carter is really playing well, stopping the run decently and also rushing the passer. Though Jason Taylor didnt record a sack, he had two critical passes defended on a goalline stand in the game.

As I saw Larry Fitz run by our secondary on a simple post route, a thought came to mind: REPLACE REED DOUGHTY! The guy is a special teamer, plain and simple. Against the Saints Chris Horton showed us that he has untrainable ball skills, and if ya got two scrubs... at least play the better scrub. I really don't know what doughty has done to earn a starting role, he came in as a band-aid for an injured secondary and played only decent. Chris Horton plays one game and is responsible for more turnovers than doughty's entire carreer! Let the children play, as santana says, PUT IN THE KID!
