Get well quick Jabari!!!

Harper? When did ol' brick-hands ever catch balls?
I love his ability to hit like a truck but he has no hands.

Discuss, praise, brag, etc.

We have very quickly jumped to the middle of the pack in Rushing Defense.

Time of Possession #2 26:15 (3s from #1)


The forced fumble stats are odd because NFL.com is showing a lower number and ESPN is showing us tied with the 3rd highest number with 14

The 2009 gang was the Darren Sharper show, he had no less than twice anyone elses INTs with 9. We ave 1.3 INTs /game. So far we are averaging 1 INT/game this year. With Lewis having 3.

If in the hands INTs wouldn't keep getting dropped we would easily be on pace with 2009.

The difference I see is that in 2009 we our d-backs didnt seem surprised when the ball touched them.. This season it looks like a hot potato.

Defense was in Beast-Mode yesterday. Game should have never been close, the Saints just kept giving them gifts.
