Amazing game, I just hope he continues to drink from the fountain of youth.

Also anyone see the Anderson sighting? He got half a sack.

Tomsula did a great job rotating DL and keeping them fresh, Settle missed a
Sack by inches. Ionaddis, Allen, Payne, Settle, Hood and Brantley (hopefully he pans out) are a pretty impressive, young DL. I say right now and I know they are young that we probably have a top 5 DL.

I noticed this too, I loved it! Our Dline guys will be fresh throughout games if Tomsula keep doing that. Settle is growing on me - it was tough for Cardinals Oline to move him out of way for DJ. Settle might end up becoming one of great pick for Redskins

I didnt get to see game so I dont like reading this from their observations,looks like what saved us is going up big early to take Johnson out of the game,at least that would be my take from what their saying.

"David Johnson picked up where he left off from his 2016 campaign. He could have put up a huge game if he was given a heavier workload on the ground. The offensive line was opening up holes, and Johnson found them with ease at times. "

Of course it helped that we had a big lead and were able to play keep away with TOP, but 6 of his 9 carries went for 2 yards or less. I definitely wouldn't say he was finding holes with any ease. He was definitely bottled up.

Yeah, he had 2 good carries on their 1st drive and that was about it. That article is just trying to make Cardinals fans feel a bit better about getting whipped.

How about that, we physically whipped a team? So nice to see.

You need to watch the game.

Biggest take away from this game: preseason doesn't mean shit...

We dominated the LOS on both sides of the ball, good tackling by our D across the board and throughout the game...

So many reasons to get excited after this game.

On top of the good tackling (missed tackles was one of my top preseason worries...), a good surprise was how well our ILB covered!
Zach Brown improved a LOT from last year, and Foster made some plays, as usual, and no mistakes, which is new.

Dunbar and Swearinger played lights out!

Also think run blocking by our receiving corps improved quite a lot. We knew Vernon Davis could block... yesterday we saw him care enough to actually block ! Even guys like Reed and Doctson made some nice blocks...

I think this is part in due to Smith bringing a new level of excitement in the offense locker room.
On the play when Chandler Jones got flagged for jumping on him after the play was over, Smith got up and talked trash. Cousins would've never done that. Not saying this is what wins football games, but I do think it can make a difference in the level of commitment of other players.

Sidenote: Zach Vigil came in for Foster for the final 5 minutes of the game, didn't see anything about Mason being injured... It was in the redzone on the drive the Cards scored their TD too... A bit surprised. Just a coaches' decision to rest a vet ?

PFF grades have posted:

Of course remember we played the Cards...so that boosted some grades:

But the top rated LB in the league is Zach Brown with 90.7, the top rated CB in the league is Quinton Dunbar 92.3 and of course, the top rated Interior D-Lineman is Flossin' Matt Ioannidis 92.2 ENJOY!

Jonathan Allen, Jordan Reed, Chris Thompson all posted high grades as well.

In related news my parakeet picked names out of a hat and graded them all fairly similar to PFF. 🤪
