31, 2009 Nobody is giving the Cardinals a shot to win against the Steelers in Superbowl 43. Dre206 is going with the underdog Cardinals to win against the Steel-Curtain. Steelers got a gift of calls in Superbowl 40. I can't see everything going there way in Superbowl 43 unless the Cardinals gift them with turnovers, and great field position. Yes it will be tough for the Cardinals to run against the #1 defense in the NFL {Steelers}. Cardinals running backs James Hightower, or Arrington just need to make positive yards against the Steelers defense. Positive yards can mean just 3 yards a carry for the Cardinals running-backs. Cardinals Quarterback {comp 66% pass rating 112- 8 tds 2 int. this post season} Kurt Warner needs just a little time in the pocket to makes his quick release Dan Marino like throws. The Cardinals have averaged a little more than 6 minutes than there opponents in time of possessions this post-season. Red-Zone offense will be critical for the Cardinals. Kicking field goals against the Steelers will not get it done. Cardinals must find ways to score touchdowns instead ot field-goals against the Steel-Curtain D. Cardinals defense must disrupt the timing of Steelers Quarterback Big Ben. Ben is only completing 56% of his passes this post season. The Steelers have averaged 9 more minutes in time of possession than there opponents this post-season. Cardinals defense must stop the Steelers running attack, and force Big Ben into third and longs. Cardinals defense must make stops on third downs, and not let the Steelers stay on the field and eat up the clock. If the Steelers win the time of possession they will win the game. Cardinals are +9 in turnovers compared to the Steelers +5 this postseason. Creating, and converting turnovers into points will be big for both teams. Special teams is 33% of the game lets not forget. Cardinals offense must be able to pick up the Steelers blitz buy, checking down , audible, backs must block the Steelers blitz. If the
Cardinals weather the storm of the Steelers defensive pressure,
and don't turnover the ball I look for them to win Superbowl 43. Dre206! |
