Edge was horrible. But, gotta say that most of it was his O-Line. Frequently gets taken out in the backfield, blocking is absolutely terrible. Cards need some serious O-Line help now. Plus what is Green doing running the ball for a loss everytime when Leinart is clearly playing well. Everytime he threw he looked good. If Arizona had thrown more when they had the lead they would have easily won this.
Edge simply has lost much of the speed that made him an elite back. The play they used in Indianapolis was the stretch play that allowed him to get the corner, and positive yards. Edge reminds my of Antwoine Smith of the last few years. Capable, and yet not very explosive.

WHat about the drive that stalled out when they were on their own 10 yard line. 2 incompletions and a draw on 3rd down. Leinart looked real great there. You don't win by having a great half, you do it by closing the game when you can by running out the clock.

Are the Cards going to wake up and see he won't get you 4-6 yards a pop? For the year he's averaging 2.9 yards a carry.. Man Im glad I did not draft him..
i dont care if your LT, or edge, or whoever, with no o line you cannot run well....i dont know why its so hard for some of you to understand, edge didnt fall off, he cannot hit the holes...and their passing game has not opened up like it was in indy....but their o line is in shambles, caused a fumble go for 7 points....if they decide to block better he will perform, but look at LJ this year, thats due to offensive line troubles not the back
