Gregg Williams is the warrior philosopher.
Maxie reported that the Cardinals shut down the 49ers previously with a controlled, lane-cognizant four man rush. Why were they going after Nick Foles?Offensive Line Bonus
The much-maligned Rams offensive line helped Todd Gurley rush for 146 yards while allowing the Cardinals to sack Nick Foles only once. The Cardinals blitzed early and often, and while the Rams line reminded no one of the 1992 Cowboys, they picked up blitzers well and made the Cardinals pay for their aggression.
So let's hear it for Greg Robinson, Jamon Brown, Tim Barnes, Rodger Saffold and Rob Havenstein. That's two rookies (Brown and Havenstein) and the second-year Robinson. Maybe more games like this are coming.
Former Badger Havenstein moved former first round pick Saffold inside. But Havenstein can be had on the pass rush.
