Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread

[Lotus]

I think that Helu will see more playing time this week. I hope he uses his opportunity well. I can't wait to see him take one to the house.

Both teams are largely unknowns at this point. Sure, the cards racked up some yards but v. a poor team, and they won on a punt return.

We put up some #s v. a beat up defense. Our D looked so much better, but let's not forget the giants o line is rebuilding & they lost some depth at wr.

Off topic but funny,

A co-worker returned to work today after having traveled to Houston for a business venture. He's an Eagles fan and missed the Eagles 1pm game but had gone out with a female friend both wearing their Eagles jerseys to a local bar to watch the Dallas game. He said they got ribbed upon entering the bar. He said for the first two quarters all you heard was "Romo is the bomb", "Romo this and Romo that", "Dallas is back and going to the SB." Then during the 3rd quarter the bar was as quiet as a church. He said he turned and asked as loud as he could "where did the fans go?" lol.

Then in the 4th quarter Romo had his melt down and he couldn't stop laughing cause all the fans were saying "Fire the HC", "Fire Romo". Then the game ended. He and his friend yelled the Eagles chant E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles.... and everyone told them to get the "F" out of the bar. He said it was the best time he's had in a long time.

I don't like that the skins are 4 point favorites. That makes me a little uneasy.

Home team gets 3 points anyway...so look it more like a 1 point/even. The line will change again tomorrow and Sunday.

I think the focus of the team will win us this game. D keeps on rolling. O continues to gel. Skins: 20
Cards: 3

Man, I hope Orakpo can play...

"Grant Paulsen
Mike Shanahan: Both Brian Orakpo and LaRon Landry will be listed as questionable for Sunday. Both were limited in today's practice."

I love BO but if he's out who takes his place? Alexander? Lorenzo is no slouch, and if not him possibly who? Fox? although Fox is listed as having back issues.

Probably rotate LB's if RAK is limited , Alexander on run downs , R. Jackson on passing downs ( Jackson can rush the passer ) . Im sure RAK plays , maybe LL gets in on some packages too .

yeah i think orakpo will play, landry is much more of a long shot. im thinking we save laRon for the cowboys under the lights on monday night when we are 2-0!!

Yeah I think Orakpo will suck it up and play. I'd give Landry more time also. Maybe even hold him for the second half of the season instead of rushing him and having him sitting again for several weeks.

The only change I might think about is possibly putting someone at FS who has speed even if it meant using a CB only cause we need someone who can run from sideline to sideline and someone who can be the last man in case Fitz runs past the CB covering him.
