    RLakin: Funnyball

    If you read the book, they make it clear that managing with that style is only designed to get you to the playoffs, not win the series. They design a team that should come out on top after 162 games, but have no control over a 5 or 7 game series. The moneyball approach is only good through the...

    Dockett vs. Bryant.....a tale of the tape

    Bryant's biggest problem is that he was switched around in college from DE to DT. A lot of those good looking college numbers were at DE. That's why he had more sacks. Then with the Cards, he also was moved around, and missed his first training camp. As far as the DT position goes, Wendall...

    Draft picks..who will be in camp?

    Not if it is in August, I'll be in Flagstaff the whole time. But it sounds fun. I'll do all I can to get in that.

    Draft picks..who will be in camp?

    John Idzik will be negotiating Dansby's contract, and he has had a very good history with the Postons. Poston players aren't necessarily guys who hold out as rookies. They are more likely to hold out a player wanting to renegotiate, or at the end of a contract. I don't think Dansby will be a...

    Positives from Walter Mitchell

    First of all, trades are extremely rare in the NFL, so don't go expecting Ray Thompson to be carted off anytime soon in a trade. Second of all, Bert Berry will not play OLB. Kenny King is a DT and will stay there. And Pete Kendall will not, repeat WILL NOT, go back to being a guard. You must...

    Coach Green Releases Starting Lineups

    Leonard Davis WILL be the left tackle. No question. LJ may have a chance to make the cut at one of the guard spots or RT. LJ knows he is making left tackle money and will not play left tackle. Even he said today that Leonard is the left tackle and will stay there. He seems to be under the...

    When will the signings start happening?

    Over the history of the team, last year was an exception and not a rule. It definitely shows they have taken a step in the right direction and I hope that continues this year, but there is no doubt that the Cardinal organization has a history of holdouts. Last year was the best they did in a...

    When will the signings start happening?

    No coach in the NFL has holdouts. Teams do. The Cardinals have holdouts. They have a history of players holding out. It has nothing to do with the coach. When Green enters the negotiating room, then you can make a statement like that. And for the record, Robert Smith held out two...

    When will the signings start happening?

    I'm not saying that it definitely will be a problem, just that it could be a problem. I hope he is in on time, but the Winslow deal will effect him in that the picks usually go in reverse order in the first round. Poston said he will negotiate for Winslow as a player who could've gone...

    When will the signings start happening?

    Yes, he will probably get a deal almost identical to last year's #3 pick. Again, I don't think working out the details of his contract will be the problem. Fitz knows he went #3 and accepts that, the problem is that three different guys think they deserve the money of a #1 overall, which will...

    When will the signings start happening?

    I wouldn't get too excited about Fitzgerald being in on time. I think he wants to be in on time, but his negotiation is going to wind up being tricky. The top picks in this years draft will have more problems than usual because of the trade between NY and SD. Both Eli Manning and Philip...

    Just listened to 910

    You say it as if everyone should assume that they are going to be a playoff team next year. The reality is that they were 4-12 last year and have just one winning record in 18 seasons. Until they prove otherwise on the field, expect a lack of respect for this team. It isn't even training camp...

    Josh McCown On 1060

    Do you watch football, or just make random statements? Why has Culpepper had only two chances to make the Pro Bowl? Do you not count the other two seasons he played? Which year did Favre suck? Find me one. Have you ever watched Vick play. His ability to pass is nearly equal to his...

    Will Fitzgerald's Number Change?

    Fitzgerald will wear number 11 all year. The quote you're thinking of about changing numbers was a misquote. All he said was he won't buy a house until he makes the team. His number is not changing.

    Cards fire 2 front office employees

    This would have been his 13th season with the Cards.

    Damien Anderson

    If everyone is healthy, Emmitt and Scobey are numbers 2 & 3 on the depth chart and DA will be #4. Anderson's role this year will be less than last year.

    3 of the 6 UDFA

    K/P Matt Fordyce, Fordham TE Eric Edwards, LSU RB Larry Croom, UNLV SS/LB Adrian Mayes, LSU And they will also bring in a WR. That's all they have room for. Last year, not a single UDFA made the roster. These are camp bodies, that's it.

    New Manning Theory on epsn!

    That may explain why they leaked the information, but Manning's camp has made it clear that they don't want Eli there. I have no doubt that SD didn't want Eli, or the #1 pick for that matter, all along. But that's no excuse for super-high character, no miss, farm boy Eli to pull a Lindros on...

    Manning would sit out 2004 if selected by Chargers

    What about that great character that was supposed to be the thing that made him the best QB in this draft. Considering he's not the most talented QB in this draft, I don't see any reason why he should go ahead of Ben R. now. Wasn't he so great because "he's a Manning". Wasn't that supposed...

    2005 #1 Overall Pick

    Vick's team was far better than Smith's. Good enough that there were a bunch of times Vick didn't see the field in the second half. And there were other players making big plays. Smith has great numbers, no doubt. But when you truly watch them both, he doesn't have what Vick had. In two...

    2005 #1 Overall Pick

    Think Michael Vick but slower and with nowhere near the arm strength or accuracy. Brad Smith is a good runner and an average at best thrower. He's a first round pick, probably, but not the next great thing. Don't ever put someone ahead of Vick. Vick took his team to the National Championship...

    2005 #1 Overall Pick

    Maybe we should let Onyenegecha try college before we get ready to take him in the NFL. 2006 #1 overall - Marcus Vick, QB, Virginia Tech. In two years, he'll be as good a prospect as big brother. And they'll be a whole lot better than the Mannings.

    Stewart Mandell - Overrated and Underrated

    The other way to look at it is that Roy is not nearly the threat that Fitz is inside of the 10. If Roy could make the plays the way Fitz does, he would have been a bigger option inside the 10. It says more about Williams that his team didn't throw to him inside the 10 than it says about...

    Greg Jones in the second?

    They look the same, but if you've seen them both play, they are way different. Dayne could never cut like Jones can. Dayne was big, but not as powerful as Jones. If Jones stays healthy, he is the best running back in this draft.

    Greg Jones in the second?

    Greg Jones will be the best NFL running back out of this draft if he can stay healthy. You can't lose by picking him, but there are too many other needs to draft him at 33.
