Quick Take: Can the real St. Louis Rams please stand up???
BANG! This REDZONE is under protection!!!!
It was over when...
the best hit of my short Madden 08 carreer was delivered - against me! WR Derek Stanley was hit from the train Rod Hood trying to get into the Cardinal Redzone with 4minutes left in the 4th quarter. Fellow CB Eric Green picked up the ball and ran with it 77yards into the other house. Instead of a possible TD closing the gap to 17:20 the Rams lost the game with a score of 10:27.
Game ball
goes to: The Cardinal D. and RB Edgerrin James. The durable old RB grinded out the game with a solid 93 yard performance on 25 carries. The Cards D held Marc Bulger totally in check harrassing the Ram QB the whole day and playing very good pass defense.
Key stat
The Rams going 2 of 15 on 3rd down conversion did not help RB S. Jackson. Marc Bulgers QB rating of 11.3 including 3 picks and a 28% completion rate didn`t help, too. The Cards dominated the defensive side of the ball with 1 fumble return for a TD, 3 picks and 3 forced fumbles.
Noteworthy
Jackass was not hot but still effective going again over the 100y mark. Coach Moose wanted to pull Marc Bulger at halftime but was seen throwing the pad instead of crushing the screen. Btw. the QB was 2 of 16 for 20 yrds passing and 3 picks in the first half. American idol and former Ram hero Kurt Warner was celebrated with the ED and delivered a solid perfomance before his former home crowd.
