Mike Sando discussed the VD touchdown catch with the Cardinals head coach:

Whisenhunt on the play in general: "He ran a little shake route, but Adrian actually covered it very well. It was a good throw and I think you have to give Vernon credit for making a great catch. He came over the back. Adrian actually turned to play the ball and he came over his back and made the catch, which is a very nice catch. That happens."

Whisenhunt breaking down the play: "I had seen him run something like that. It was obvious what they were trying to do with it. They were trying to isolate him, in this case on Adrian, and give the illusion of running a shake route across the middle where he comes and shakes and comes back. He stuttered and took it deep, which sometimes is an adjustment when you have two high safeties. It wasn't unexpected, but it wasn't something they had shown a lot of."

One other interesting line from the article: "[O]ffensive coordinator Mike Martz suggested last month that Davis was grasping offensive concepts to a much greater degree and that the "lights have gone on" for the 2006 first-round draft choice. This reception against the Cardinals might provide some evidence."

Grasping at straws? One more thing to keep an eye on these last seven games?

Also, apologies for the lack of content today. I'll have some more preview stuff later this evening.
