    Q tops NFC Pro Bowl receivers

    Especially in the "all hands" competition. Whoops..... They must have slipped kryptonite in his jock that morning. :)

    A closer look: Bryant Johnson

    Maybe we'll get better all-around performance in a contract year??? Then, come week 10 or so we offer an extension. If he pouts or wants to sit out (unlikely as he'll be fighting to stay in the league) he sits.........

    NFL Films-Cardinals

    I had the pleasure of meetig Benny Greenberg at TC a few years back. He's the little old guy who sits at the top of the man lift and tapes all of the pracices and such.... But that's just the first layer of the onion. At TC he sets up all of the cameras, tells his cronies what to tape and...

    Nfl Union Pertaining To Retired Players

    Ouch.... Should I happen to make "Admiral" before I retire I'd be getting something like 5X the salary of some of the lowest ranking enlisted folks. Does that mean they should get a pension (retirement) and not me? I worked damn hard to pay for college and to get good grades. Then as a...

    Nfl Union Pertaining To Retired Players

    It isn't the owners screwing the old timers, it's our modern-day "warriors" (LOL!) doing it to them. The old timers do not have voting powers in the NFLPA, so they are at the mercy of the current union to improve their benefits. A lot of the young dudes got long-term security built into their...

    Official: Maurice Carthon RBs & Richie Anderson TEs Coaches

    I think it was "NFL Football" (circa 1988) for the original Nintendo that introduced me to Carthon. That was the first game that showed the players faces in the line-up screen and made use of (the now common) turbo and degrading energy. Carthon was a monster in that game (far exceeding his...

    Maurice Carthon hired as RB coach ..???

    here's the info: Carthon served as the Lions offensive coordinator in 2002 after originally joining the team as the running backs coach in 2001. In his two seasons with the Lions, he took over a running game that had averaged 3.9 (2000) and 3.5 (1999) yards-per-carry before his arrival and...

    Dansby to the bengals?

    First- the whole plate thing: was it missing a front plate, back plate, both plates. It doesn't really say and alot of drivers don't want a front plate and will not put one on until told to do so. Stupid yes, but hardly anything to make a judgement on Dansby. Third- There is no mention of...

    Dansby to the bengals?

    Pretty funny how the world works. I get firearms training regularly and carry one from time to time in the course of my employment. However, if I got pulled over and was cited for something like this everyone I work with would call my actions stupid and irresponsible and they would wonder what...

    Are you numb to Cardinals changes?

    Only 3 teams on the sked over .500 helps. Plus the coaching change. Plus the extra year of experience for the 70% (or so) of the players on this roster with under 4 years of NFL time. You gotta like the chances of a turnaround. But I'll hold-out on lofty expectations until we finish up a FA...

    Max Starks (RFA) RT Steelers

    Is there anyone thinking that the new HC might want to look into the availability of this guy? I know a bunch of folks are worried about losing Big, but we've beaten that dead horse into hamburger. So here's some fresh meat - Starks is a RFA who worked for Wiz and was a solid RT from all...

    I like what the Cards are doing. I'm sick of being the offseason champs.

    So I guess my point was that they should (and will) take as much time as they deem necessary. Having a team strategy evolves over the course of a season anyhow... no matter what you best-laid plans are. Injuries, break-outs, the schedule, etc. all impact what your plan will eventually become...

    I like what the Cards are doing. I'm sick of being the offseason champs.

    Doesn't Graves now take ALL of the credit for the last few drafts? Except, of course, the coach Mac years.... LOL. I'm all for having the coach in position to influence the building of the team, but I'm pretty sure he's only gonna have a say in 5-6 new additions to the 53-man roster...

    Sherman coming back for interview number 2

    Someone said "Mr. Peabody" I think Dave Letterman.... But he's gotta be the "most qualified" of the folks we've interviewed, as far as HC experience, etc. Plus going back to the "we fired Green presser" Mike B. said he wanted someone organized. That's Sherman.... bigtime.....

    Free Agent Reality 2007

    With respect to June...... Did we do better against Larry Johnson? I think it was 142 yards and a TD off of 22 touches against us versus 61 yards on 18 touches versus Indy. Cato June 2007: 142 tackles, 1 sack, 3 int, 4 PD No one on the Cards got more than 100 tackles (Hayes had 93)...

    Falcons' New HC: Bobby Petrino

    Schaub is a RFA. I heard an interview on FOX radio on Saturday where he was saying he thought he's built a strong case to be a starter somewhere. I don't see the Falcons holding onto him as a back-up, so a QBOTF might be on the table (for the Falcons) at draft-time.

    2007 Cardinals: Coaching Search Notes...Sherman versus Rivera

    Anyone think the Biddies like ALL of the O-line experience that Sherman brings? I know we showed a heart-beat late in the year and I'm all for keeping the final line-up on the field, but there are quite a few middle-of-the-road FA O-linemen out there this season....... Sherman has had like 6...

    Video: 2006 Best of Wired

    The more I see (and hear) Duece the more I love this pick! He's got enough enthusiasm to carry the whole team.

    Anyone want any Cardinals throwback jerseys??

    Wish they had OJ

    The Denny Green debate

    4 reasons to retain: 1. Players have said they love him and play hard for him 2. The team is A LOT more talented 3. Firing him might set us back while retaining him might be enough to get us into the play-offs (we lost a bunch of close games this year and the team is showing signs of...

    2006 Cardinals: Game 15 (ARI 26 SF 20) Analysis

    Rounding-out the FA wish list.... Aren't Cato June and Eric Steinbach (Bengals) also FAs? I know June is small, but he's still an upgrade on Darling (if we let him go) and is young, talented, etc. And I know Steinbach was just busted for the B(boating)UI incident, but still has been graded in...

    How did the SF game "feel"?

    I was in the 14th row at about the 10 yard line (SF bench side) and "felt" the hit on Vernon Davis. Wow. In the post-game everyone was talking about how gutsy the guy is. I grant you that the big-hit-catch was impressive, but did anyone see the pass play on the next set of downs? He cuts...

    Anyone else going to the 49er game?

    Yes Yes Yes Bought tickets in April and was planning on catching the last 2 games (when we were supposed to be in the thick of the playoff hunt). LOL. Even though we suck I still have the tix and will be there bleeding red.

    Reason to keep Denny: look at Shottenheimer and Vermeil

    MIKE HOLMGREN..... I believe. He was under contract through 1998 but really sought the GM/Head Coach combo title and Green Bay wasn't having it. Everyone thought he was looking to SF, but ended up in Seattle instead. Correct me if I'm wrong but 1998 was the last year of his contract, the...
