Picked Apart

Sean Smith's two picks set him apart from the field for ProUte of Week 4. Smith asked to cover Larry Fitzgerald, and he did so about as well as anyone in the game. He had 6 tackles, 4 PDefs, and 2 INTs, including a sweet snag in the end zone. Fitzgerald had 64 yards and a TD on 8 receptions, and that was with Arizona abandoning the running game. Kevin Kolb completed 29 passes for 324 yards and 3 TDs, but only a portion of those passes went to his favorite target. Smith did get beat on the tying touchdown pass to Andre Roberts, but he can't be expected to win every snap.

Koa Misi also had a go at the Cardinals, getting to Kolb for 1.5 sacks, making 5 tackles, and forcing a fumble. He could have won the award two weeks running if not for Smith stepping up.

Eric Weddle had an interception to go with his 5 tackles, and Paul Kruger had a sack, 2 tackles, and 2 PDefs. Let's not forget about the o-line, where Zane Beadles and the Broncos overcame an injury to the starting center to produce 503 total yards without allowing a sack. Beadles even had his number called on this fake field goal, although the play wasn't executed exactly as it was drawn up.
