Here are my analyses of the requested plays...
Enjoy. I was surprised at how often we went 4 and 5 WR here. I guess that's how you take away some of the edge pressure that Philly can provide. I also came away thinking that Beanie is a better blocker than he's given credit for, he just doesn't always make the right decisions on whom to pick up.
Also, this defense is F-A-S-T and Patrick Peterson is now a player that Horton's comfortable leaving all by himself on one side of the field.
1Q 1-10-ARI 49 (13:25) (Shotgun) 4-K.Kolb pass short right to 11-L.Fitzgerald to PHI 35 for 16 yards (59-D.Ryans).
Arizona spread formation 11 personnel with one WR solo left, 3 WR right, Fitz in the right slot, and Beanie offset left.
Philly’s outside corners are in press technique with 8 men in the box and safety deep, but LCB has no coverage over the top .
The safety on left side bails at the snap, to play over-under coverage. Four man rush from Philly.
None of the WR are actually pressed; everyone gets free release.
Massie does a good job driving his man upfield.
Fitz does a great job maintaining inside leverage on the little sit route at 9 yards, giving the corner a little shudder to open more room.
Fitz is so tough going after extra yardage these days.
Snyder nearly gets beat; Kolb does a good job releasing the ball in the face of some heat.
Beanie gives Batiste great help on the outside, completely taking the DE away from Batiste as Kolb goes into his throwing motion.
1Q 3-16-ARI 12 (5:41) 4-K.Kolb pass short right to 11-L.Fitzgerald to ARI 16 for 4 yards (22-B.Boykin) [93-J.Babin].
5 WR, empty backfield for Kolb (it’s a shotgun play even though the NFL doesn’t record it).
Philly has 2 down linemen, one safety deep. Outside corners in press technique.
Four man rush from 2 ILBs and 2 down linemen. Cover-2 shell with zone underneath.
Kolb doesn’t know what he’s seeing here and the pocket collapses before he can get rid of the ball. Fitz is WIDE open coming out of the slot, and there are openings downfield.
On the line, an outside stunt where the 2 LBs loop around the tackles just eats the OL alive. Sendlein has no one to block, and Kolb had more yardage if he just uses Sendlein and Fitz to block in front of him. The field is wide open. I wish I could give you the screen grab.
1Q 3-5-PHI 8 (1:10) (Shotgun) 4-K.Kolb pass short right to 15-M.Floyd for 8 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
5WR set for Arizona with Fitz in lined up like an H-back. Housler might be flexed out as a WR on the left side.
Philly has 6 DBs in the game with the safeties lined up only at the 2 yard line.
Fitz motions into the offensive backfield on Kolb’s right.
Four-man rush and every WR except the one on the far left has free release.
Everyone’s right that this should have been a pick. Really concerning throw from Kolb to the only double-covered WR in the pattern.
The pressed WR (Roberts?) actually gets a good release into his slant route and was probably the best option on the play.
Kolb was watching Floyd the entire time, and the LB followed his eyes right to the ball. Great effort by Michael Floyd.
2Q 1-10-PHI 9 (10:14) 7-M.Vick pass incomplete deep left to 10-D.Jackson.
Philly comes out in 12 personnel with one TE on each side of the line and the right WR on a slightly narrow split.
Cards D in 3-4 with 2 deep safeties and both corners playing off-man.
Cards rush 4 (Acho is the 4th)—cover 3 with zone underneath. Peterson’s by himself with DeSean Jackson
At the end of the play, Jackson might have a step on Peterson and Johnson is well behind—it’s a flag route that goes all the way across the field). It would’ve had to have been a heckuva pass.
Rashard Johnson is total garbage.
2Q 2-10-PHI 9 (10:06) (Shotgun) 7-M.Vick sacked at PHI 6 for -3 yards (58-D.Washington).
Cards come out in the 2-4-5 look with two deep safeties.
Philly has two backs and 1WR split right, 2 left.
Gay is playing press technique, Peterson is 10 yards off the LOS. Looks like Cover-3.
But it’s probably Cover-2 man. Peterson has NO HELP on the right side (which is a good thing).
Four man rush with man underneath. Rushers are Washington, Dockett, Campbell, and Lenon.
Everyone’s covered and Vick has nowhere to go with the ball. He runs around trying to make something happen. Washington completely destroys the McCoy who’s supposed to get to him to make the play.
2Q 3-1-ARI 1
06) 7-M.Vick sacked at ARI 7 for -6 yards (25-K.Rhodes). FUMBLES (25-K.Rhodes), RECOVERED by ARI-39-J.Sanders at ARI 7. 39-J.Sanders for 93 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
I’m not sure that I have much to say about this play that you haven’t already seen. Philly looked confused about what was going on; LeSean McCoy looks back like it might be an inside screen; he doesn’t block anybody.
4Q 3-1-ARI 29 (14:14) (Shotgun) 34-R.Williams left tackle to ARI 29 for no gain (55-D.Tapp, 95-M.Kendricks).
Cards in 11 personnel with Fitz split wide left and Housler, Doucet, and Roberts bunched right. Williams is on Kolb’s right.
Philly has four down linemen and one deep safety (it’s interesting how much shallower Philly plays their safeties than New England did a week ago, and Seattle did the week before that—the deep man is only 10 yards behind the LOS). Eight men in the box. Fitz’s corner is playing press technique—it’s prolly DRC.
Outside sweep. It’s interesting the Sendlein takes a free release to open up a cutback lane for Williams.
Batiste and Housler are the lead blockers for Williams on the playside.
Housler closes down the outside lane by failing to put his body on Asomugha. Massie actually does a good job of engaging his man.
Williams has to cut it back inside, where all of the Philly defense is waiting for him.
This is a big play if Rob Housler knew how to be an even below-average blocker. Doucet lays an absolute monster crackback block on the DE. Sendlein wasn’t quite fast enough to get his body into anyone to create the cutback lane.
