    Fire Green -- NOW!!

    I persist in thinking our talent is better this year. Yes, it's frustrating to see Rolle making his mistakes, but he's still essentially a rookie. We have DTs who surely can perform as run-stoppers--Clancy has recently, and we have plausible alternatives/back-ups. We may still have sub-par OL...

    2006 Cardinals: The Stigma of Losing

    Re "terminal dummass" (which terminus are we talking about here?), is there anywhere that Wonderlic scores are posted for veteran players?

    Cardinals coach hopes home field revs up 'inept' offense

    I agree with Reddbird that the words he suggested for Green would be welcome, both as some very appropriate acceptance of responsibility (and a good example of the behavior players should adopt, too) and an indication that he is moving to change instead of always finding players to punish when...

    A more positive view

    I read this board regularly because of the ideas and info I find here--the football analysis, latest news, exposure of errors in published accounts.... My guess is that optimists and pessimists are roughly equal in frequency of good ideas/info. I tend to be a pessimist, but I still get an...

    On the bright side.....

    Maybe this is what they call 'parity'. Everybody stinks. We have ridiculous OL, DBs, Green can draft and not much else, yet we if we changed maybe 3 offensive plays, we could've beaten last year's NFC champs. The Hawks could've run away w/ the game, but weren't all that far from being 0-2...

    ASU - Colorado: September 16th

    Lots of penalties, mixed concentration by Carpenter and others--not impressive. The defense was often good, but sometimes bone-headed; the running game sometimes looked ridiculously good--more the CU defense than us, but still a good aspect. We had some good luck, but so did they. We...

    V For Vendetta (Smack version)

    I wish that threads moved to the SS would have a link to the old thread in the first post. At first, I thought the stimulus for this was the 'F-for-Freschetta' link in the first post, and could see no reason for/in what followed. Are neocons defending property theft in this thread--is that...

    Casino Royale (Bond 21)

    Yes, the original movie was stupid, but was trying really hard to be funny. I may own the one remaining copy of the soundtrack--has lost its appeal. But no matter how good the remake is, it doesn't have a snail's chance of creeping close to the cast quality of the original: Orson Welles (Le...

    UA - LSU: September 9th

    I certainly agree that mutual insult threads belong in the Smack Shack. But I wonder if there isn't a big discrepancy here. The UA coach (I refrain from the nickname for a minute) leads his team in stomping on and spitting on the LSU logo. Now, it's very predictable that there would be...

    Voluntary Workouts & Amare Update

    I don't see how 'zero expectations' are justified unless you're really concerned that Nash may be absent for half the season or more. Even if disaster occurs and we're missing Amare, KT, and another central player (but not Nash) the whole season, I think we'd make the playoffs--that's how deep...

    Cards v Hawks predictions!

    I wish and hope Cards, but can't realistically favor them--too much went wrong or was shaky last week, last year, etc. I have to guess Hawks 27-Cards 24.

    KFFL Injury News

    The big question marks, for me, are Watson and Lewis. Will they be active? For me, the Dansby/Ross/etc. situations are understandable, but I keep seeing nothing about these DT options who might help keep our line fresh....

    Week 1 shall be upon us soon....

    Smack should bring Joy! This comment is too serious, rational, fact-based, and, frankly, down-right depressing for a Smack Shack. Especially when unseparated at birth. :titanic:

    UA - LSU: September 9th

    Misrepresentation Quoting Devilfan02: I should've inserted a :sarcasm: icon in my earlier post. I'm a Sun Devil fan, trying to be realistic but rejoicing in the tribulations of the Tamekittens. Last weekend was one of unalloyed joy: Devils won, UA got cremated after disgracing themselves...

    Time Magazine Article

    Interesting article. I wish the "classy" Graves had found a better expression when referring to 'a core of players "who we consider bell cows,"....' It did kill me when Lomas Brown and those other two players were let go. Took the heart right out of the team. At the time, I was happy we were...

    UA - Stephen F. Austin: September 16th

    I wouldn't call the SFA game an automatic win for UA; they played Delta State (which resembles UA in a number of ways), they're very tough, had an early lead, made good drives.... And UA is missing Tui, and going with an Austin itself....

    Seattle - Detroit Observations and Ramifications

    I don't think it's likely myself, but is it possible that if Seattle was vanilla last week, they'll be vanilla again Sunday? Looking past us to, say, the Rams?

    After Further Review

    Great post, Harry! I was worried most by the bad tackling, which carries over from past years. At this point, is this to be blamed on Pendergast? Does he emphasize fundamentals enough? Also, I've been assuming that our anchoring-DT problem was solved with Clancy/Moore/Watson. The last was...

    Who is responsible and where do I complain?

    Remember that this is the dumbya television network we're discussing. That tells you three things: First, if they smell competence around, they fire it. Second, they figure, accurately, that their fan base needs a robocop to occupy their short attention spans. Third, your emails had better...

    Okay, Calm Down

    Well, I don't think it's 'shedding tears' to say that I will be sad if cheese sticks to his decision to leave. I have often disagreed with his posts, and his intensity and combativeness, but I have about equally often found good points and substantiation in his posts. I think a position...

    Cardinals 2006: Game 1 (ARI 34 SF 27) Analysis

    I just went thru the game log at www.azcardinal.com/06grsf1.htm (thanks for posting it so quickly) and counted up Edge's second-half stats. At first I got 14 rushes, 70 yards--Great! Then I realized I had included 2 rushes called back for penalties, totaling 23 yards, so his totals were 12 for...

    HAts off too Nolan

    Very good point by ajcardfan. We almost yielded a comeback; that stop after the punt return, and that long drive that used up just enough time, saved us. When(if?) we get used to winning, the punt return and the lost onside kick won't happen.

    Cardinals 2006: Game 1 (ARI 34 SF 27) Analysis

    Nice post, Mitch--thanks! I wonder if you're going to be able to break down the performance of each offensive line member for solid blocks/whiffs, etc.? I had one other question--can you tell what Edge's rushing numbers were in the first vs. second half? I remember that his first 6 rushes...

    Cardinals 2006: Game 1 (ARI vs. SF) Preview

    Mitch, are you going to do in-depth post-game analyses again? The ones you did last year were great, and helped a lot in reporting overall individual performances.

    Key play that didn't get noticed

    I was disturbed by the pushing, too. Referee cross-training in rugby, maybe?
