    The Trade Deadline

    https://www.nfl.com/news/los-angeles-chargers-db-desmond-king-traded-to-tennessee-titans-for-sixth-round- Desmond King to Titans for a 6th. I would have made that deal---when healthy he can play all over the backfield.

    DK Metcalf

    Lots of hindsight and laments about taking Isabella at #62 and letting Metcalf go at #64 in the 2018 draft. I looked up the stats for all the WR who went off the board before Metcalf. Only AJ Brown taken by Cincy at #51 comes close to matching Metcalf’s numbers. Isabella took some time...

    I’m ashamed to say I’m getting sadistic pleasure with each Cowpie defeat. Think of all the millions of America’s Team fan base that are suffering as the final seconds tick off on yet another humiliating loss. The camera always finds sad Jerry Jones in the owner’s box, a shrunken and shriveled...

    The Trade Deadline

    Guess the trade deadline will tell the story whether or not BB is still someone who has no qualms about trading away his star players. That will forever be the debate when it comes to the BB and TB duo---who was most important, who would have had success without the other? Do you remember the...

    I bought a guitar

    'Swiftlessons' has a great tutorial on how to play 'Blowin' in the Wind' He goes over the basics and then adds the bass runs to change chords. He also illustrates a lead part that can be played while someone else is strumming the chords. I'm excited about your progress and how you are...

    Cards want to trade for JJ Watt?

    Thanks for pointing that out to me. I read the title of the thread and didn't realize the conversation had flipped to a different player. Maybe need to start a thread for a new player of interest?

    Cards want to trade for JJ Watt?

    He's not 27, he's 31. That is an 'old' 31 based on those season-ending injuries. DL is banging hard every play and the toll is higher on a player along the line than the same injury hampering someone playing off the line. He is another season-ending injury just waiting to happen...

    The Trade Deadline

    Desmond King from SD. Young vet who has played both CB and FS and kick return. Love to stick him in the backfield with BB. Might come cheap since he will be a FA after this season. Also, SD believes his play has gone down. Might be able to trade for a low pick next year. Let him audition...

    15 thoughts - Seahawks game

    You want your Offense to have the ability to put up 35-40 points a game. What you don't want is a Defense that has the ability to give up 35-40 points a game. Garthshort has a good point regarding the improved pass rush. Golden was a high-energy guy when he was here and hopefully, he brings...

    Game Review: ARZ 37 SEA 34

    Here's the plays for the SeaTurkey's last possession in regulation time: 2-1-SEA 23 (2:00) C.Hyde up the middle to SEA 26 for 3 yards (T.Vallejo, H.Reddick). R30 Timeout #1 by ARZ at 01:54. 1-10-SEA 26 (1:54) C.Hyde up the middle to SEA 27 for 1 yard (L.Fotu; T.Vallejo). Timeout #2 by ARZ at...

    I bought a guitar

    Practice playing songs instead of simply hammering through random chords. You'll get a 'muscle memory' for the chords and the changes that match what you practice---why not do that with a song? The old Bob Dylan classic 'Blowin' in the Wind' is a three-chord wonder (G-C-D) with a simple strum...

    15 thoughts - Seahawks game

    Can't get too giddy about a game we won while giving up 572 yards in offense to the SeaTurkeys. Don't get me wrong---I loved the win but we could have easily been on the wrong end of the score and our bye-week would have been a huge downer---with the forum full of handwringing and fire VJ...

    The Trade Deadline

    Several other comments have been along this same line. I agree. We need to surround KM with young cost-controlled talent as he approaches the end of his rookie deal---I can't even imagine what KM will expect/demand. Just take a look at the Mahomes contract---a half a billion dollars to lock...

    You guys are crazy wanting to trade PP

    Sanders played in a total of 188 games and had 53 Int and 9 Tds. Take a look at his number of tackles for his career: https://www.nfl.com/players/deion-sanders/stats/career Sanders had extra value and returned kicks and also played WR—that added to his greatest. PP2 has been a much more...

    You guys are crazy wanting to trade PP

    The key to a successful trade is to make the deal while your player is at a high level but right before you anticipate a downturn in performance. If you can hit that calculation correctly, you get max value---the guy is still an above-average player---and when he does crash, he's off your...

    Seahawks or 49ers this weekend

    If our final playoff game came down to facing either SF or Seattle, I'd take SF for the same reason given by Wanderer. It was RW who almost beat us single-handed with his passing. With the injuries on SF, I think our offense stands a better chance of outscoring the SF offense. Maybe not the...

    Game Review: ARZ 37 SEA 34

    PS I'd put Tanner Vellajo in the 'Hero' column for this game. He came up HUGE to stop Seattle's last drive in regulation time. If the Cards didn't stop 'em 4th and 2---game would have been over since the SeaTurkeys could have simply run out the clock after making a first down.

    Game Review: ARZ 37 SEA 34

    A lot of work to put together the game book & comments. Thanks! Here's how I gather that type of data to include on my DVD for each game: Here’s the NFL.com ‘Game Book’ for the Cards vs Seattle game: https://nflcdns.nfl.com/liveupdate/gamecenter/58270/ARI_Gamebook.pdf Here’s the page to...

    Greatest cardinals of all time that arent usually mentioned

    I was also pretty PO'd when Smith went to the Cowpies. I actually set aside my Cowpie hatred and wanted Smith to get the SB ring that he never had a chance to get with the Cards. In the overall picture, I guess Smith got his just reward for coming out of retirement to join the Cowpies. He...

    Unsung hero in seattle win! larry Fitzgerald!

    Maybe Fitz is auditioning to be a line judge after he retires? Can't say enough about Fitz as not just a HOF player but also a HOF leader. It has been a real pleasure to watch him perform throughout his career. He's got my vote as the Greatest Cardinal of All Time.

    Greatest cardinals of all time that arent usually mentioned

    The challenge question was to name the greatest cardinals of all time who are not usually mentioned. Unfortunately for Jackie Smith, that drop in the Superbowl is all that a lot of NFL fans now know about him---I've seen it on 'blooper' plays and Smith does get mentioned.

    Greatest cardinals of all time that arent usually mentioned

    Part of the downside when a franchise moves is the loss of some of the history and the recognition of past heroes. For the Cards, as the Baby Boomers who grew up on Cardinal football in St. Louis ride off into the sunset, the collective memory of their favorite players goes with them. Two...

    I bought a guitar

    Speaking for myself---I had a long learning curve with the guitar. I have an analytical approach and tackled guitar in the same fashion I would use for those tasks. It finally clicked for me when I realized music is coming from the other part of the brain. You got to get the basics---chords...
