This quote caught me eye :lol:

On back-to-back plays late in the third quarter, the flood gates open and the deluge washed over Palmer. On the first play, defensive end Red Bryant, middle linebacker KJ Wright and Leo end/linebacker Bruce Irvin all arrived at the QB in the same half-blink. On the next play, it was Leo end Chris Clemons and versatile lineman Michael Bennett.

“I said, ‘Man, you’re going to be sore,’ ” Irvin offered of the conversation he had during one of the pig-piles that Palmer endured. “He told me he’s used to it.”

LOL, used to it. Ouch. I wonder if his O-linemen might get him killed a little more on purpose, now?

Funny, San Francisco only got one sack on him.

QBs deserve the glory sometimes. They are one of the few positions where you only take punishment and cannot deliver it. Even getting the ball off quick isn't a guarantee that you aren't going to get whacked. I would hate to be an OL because they always seem to get rolled up on and QB, since they are getting slobberknocked a lot of the time.

EDIT: That Football 101/201 seminar for the ladies looked like it was top-notch. Pretty cool concept.
