WOO HOO skins in first place all by themsleves
Thanks to injuries hitting all 3 of our rivals.
We've been very lucky when it comes to injuries.
Lucky? We lost our #1 CB today. Our #3 CB and #3 Safety, Barnes, was lost for the game. Laron Landry has not seen the field at all this season. Chris Cooley is a shadow of his self out there on the field. We lost our rookie sensation Javaris Jenkins as well.
We have our share of injuries.
Oh and please let's not get cocky! It feels good to win another game, but to be bragging about 1st place after 2 games is kinda foolish. I am not saying we shouldn't enjoy the wins, but come on guys, it's only 2 games.
Really worried about our secondary. The only healthy secondary in the division is the Eagles.
Thankfully Davis has stepped up big time! I am really enjoying his play right now.
Also, did not know where to put this, but how bout a couple of fist pumps for Sav Rocca. 6 punts inside the 20 already this season. We only had 22 of those all last year. He has not had a touchback either.

After just the second week there are only 7 NFL teams that are 2-0.
New England Patriots
New York Jets
Buffalo Bills
Houston Texans
Washington Redskins
Detroit Lions
Green Bay Packers
Losing half starting our secondary plus our nickel and dime backs against a team as pass-happy as the Cards is not lucky. It's not a coincidence that the sputtering Arizona offense started moving the ball almost at will against us as soon as those injuries hit us in the second half. We did an excellent job of overcoming those injuries. I wouldn't call that luck.
What an odd list.
I say savor it. We don't get to be in front very often these days.
This looks like one of those mind games that asks which ones do not belongAfter just the second week there are only 7 NFL teams that are 2-0.

good point Henry. I thought the other part of the problem was how Hazlett reacted. he basically went vanilla. with a week secondary I would have upped the pressure with more blitzes. he got the same resukts as teams usually achieve when they run those don't beat us deep prevent defenses. and the Cards just marched down the field.
The Eagles D looked damn good last night. But if Vick misses any significant time at any point in the season... well, Reid really rolled the dice on that one. Not sure that's gonna pay off. Besides which, Vick just looks a little off to me, even when he does play.

Check out this stat as well: http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/t...thirdDownConvPct/position/defense/order/false
This is what good defenses do. Good defenses don't care about total yardage. Good defenses get off the field on third down and create turnovers. This could be a dominant D, something we haven't had since the 90's.
