That's One Way To Win

So Arizona did beat the Saints. I'm not sure their methods are repeatable, though. One touchdown off an interception, another off a fumble recovery by the defense, the third off a fumble by the QB that was recovered by an offensive lineman. The running game struggled (1.7 yards per carry), though they at least kept trying. They racked up less than 200 yards of offense, and fumbled four times without the Saints recovering a single one.

But, they won, so it's all good. Even though his numbers don't reflect it, Max Hall's teammates all insist he provided a boost, I assume with his attitude and toughness. I'd prefer he provide a boost by throwing some touchdowns, or at least not fumble so much, but whatever works. Now he has two weeks to prepare for Seattle, and try and work on his problem areas. His gonna need to, since the Seahawks have been good at home so far this year, and their crowd is notorious for being a presence.

It'll help if the defense can build off this last game, and continue to improve going forward. They might have Gerald Hayes ready to go, which should bolster the linebacking corps. Also, they hope to have Steve Breaston and Early Doucet back, which would give Hall his #2 and #3 receivers, to go along with Larry Fitzgerald. That would be an improvement over the "Fitzgerald and the rookies" act they had last week.
