Week Three: Detroit Lions (1-1) @ Arizona Cardinals (1-1)

Now this is a drive.   Punch this pig in.  Pound the dang thing.  

[TP_Fan]

That looked like the OT drive.   More of that. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Great opening drive by the Lions. Good playing calling to gain the line of scrimmage and mixing it up with a couple of nice passes. 

[MichiganCardinal]

The offense is back!

Legend has it, they never actually left.

[TP_Fan]

That was a great drive. Had Campbell written all over it.  Sure he told Ben to feed Monty. No deviation. 

[Sports_Freak]

Montgomery has played with a chip on his shoulder all season. He's hard to bring down.

If I see toss sweeps 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage on the next drive to Gibbs and no Montgomery I'll be upset. It's not that Gibbs and Monty shouldn't be rotated, they very much should. But if you're pounding the rock and controlling up front with Montgomery hammering it, stay at it.

Come on Ben Johnson, I have LaPorta on my fantasy team not Brock Wright.

I have Montgomery, Goff and Bates.

Coaches struggle with that. They are so driven by an RB spilt. Like Michigan. Mullings working, edwards not, still splitting it up.  

[holygoat]

Damn. Levi hurt.

[TP_Fan]

Levi down.  He’s had a good start too.  Just can’t stay healthy.

Murray pulling a Mickey Rivers fake out.

It's not that Gibbs hasn't worked. He's a very talented player. Gibbs should be a weapon and a standardback at times. He's a guy who can be moved all over the field. Bubble screen plays, tosses to the outside where it develops quickly, lining him out wide, and yes, draw handoffs to bounce outside or go up the middle. It's when he starts out 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, they do a backfield toss, and he gets tackled at or near the line of scrimmage that I get annoyed. 

[TP_Fan]

Pass rush is non existent early.   Murray roasting marshmallows.  

[TP_Fan]

Aaron Glenn is playing right to the cardinals game plan.  This is exactly how you don’t play against Murray.  Ugly defense to start.  

[Sports_Freak]

They showed the Arizona coach ordering boneless wings.

[MichiganCardinal]

Why are they expecting Derrick Barnes to set an edge?

[TP_Fan]

Make him stay in the damn pocket.  

[TP_Fan]

Aaron Glenn being abused.  That’s predictable.

It’s getting out of hand. In college I would always get the buy one get one on Tuesdays.  $6 after tax. 

Build a time machine and go back to 2010.

Yup

What a weak ass call. Murray had already released the ball.

[TP_Fan]

Aaron Glenn. He is such a limiting factor. Again, it will just never matter who the players with this guy calling the defense. He has no idea what he is doing. 

[Sports_Freak]

Murray to Harrison is going to a problem for every team.

[MichiganCardinal]

That’s going to be there all day if they are expecting Davis to cover MHJ man to man
