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.

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

They rise to the occasion, so I guess they don't have to be pretty, just get the job done ... makes for exciting football, eh? .

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.
