    Whitney Mercilus vs. Aldon Smith

    It's really interesting how similar Mercilus and Smith are in terms of size, speed, college production, proximity of colleges (Illinois vs. Missouri), even college jersey#85. Height-Mercilus (6' 3" 7/8) Smith (6' 4" 1/4) Weight-Mercilus (263) Smith (263) 40 Time-Mercilus (4.68)...

    Mayock's Top 5 at each Position

    Interesting that Mayock has Courtney Upshaw as his #1 overall linebacker. I agree with him 100%. What makes Mayock the best in my opinion is that he looks at the football player first and then the measurables and that would go in line with his thinking regarding Courtney Upshaw. Upshaw won't...

    Courtney Upshaw

    I agree. Sacks are great, but tackles for loss are just as impressive and Upshaw gets a ton of those tackles.

    P...P...P...Peyton Manning to AZ? The web is a buzz with it...

    I recall hearing about Peyton Manning talking to reporters about throwing passes to Fitz at a Pro Bowl practice and how amazed he was at Fitzgerald's skills. Does anyone else recall this? I think it was back early in Larry's career (2005/06 Pro Bowl)?

    P...P...P...Peyton Manning to AZ? The web is a buzz with it...

    It does sound impossible, but Manning is a different sort of guy. The thought of playing with a once in a generation wide receiver may just be what tips the scales in the Cards favor. Manning is and always has been about his legacy to the game. What better way then to play his last part of his...

    Aldon Smith-Don't be surprised if he's in the discussion at pick #5

    14.5 sacks later I would say he probably was in the Cards discussion if Peterson wasn't available.

    What if Trent Richardson was available at pick #13?

    Would the Cards take him if he is clearly the BPA when we pick at 13? I absolutely love Richardson, but I don't think we can especially if Williams is all set to come back. I was just curious what the rest of you thought. Kiper has Richardson rated in the top 6 players on his big board.

    Courtney Upshaw OLB/Bama paired with Sam Acho would be one bada#$ combo!!

    I think Upshaw is alot more athletic and explosive than given credit for. He is a rugged, SEC linebacker and is asked to do alot more than just pin his ears back and rush the passer. Many of the same things were said about Lamar Woodley coming out of Michigan. Upshaw and Woodley are the...

    Courtney Upshaw OLB/Bama paired with Sam Acho would be one bada#$ combo!!

    I really like O'Brien Schofield and think he has a bright future. However, I think his future is more as a situational pass rusher. When the season ended Schofield once again mentioned gaining weight as his #1 priority and yet looking at how pumped up Schofield looks, one has to wonder how much...

    Fitz and Skelton

    I posted that over 4 years ago!! Someone decided to bump it a couple of weeks ago.

    Soap Box 1 of 3: What John Skelton needs to do to win me over

    Skelton has the elusive "it" quality and that is a really good thing. I'm not even comparing the 2 in terms of production/potential etc.. but Skelton's rise to starter is kind of similar to what Tom Brady did back in 2001. 5 games into the 2001 season people were talking about the Patriots being...

    Ready to get ripped: I think Larry Fitzgerald is overrated.

    I wrote this opinion in September 2007. Not quite sure why it now is an issue. Oh well, we all error on our assessments. I'm really glad I was way, way off on Fitz. Will retire as the greatest Cardinal of alltime.

    Thoughts on the Cleveland Win

    Great job as always! I agree on Skelton. Cleveland is a much better defense than people give credit. They completely shut down Pittsburgh's offense the week before.

    For all the offensive woes, we have 16 plays of 40 or more yards!

    Just did a little research on NFL.com and found that the Cardinals offense for all it's inconsistencies this year has put up a ton of explosive plays of 40 or more yards. Here is the list: Jeff King- 48 yard touchdown reception Larod Stephens Howling-2 receptions of 40+ yards (73 and 52...

    OT-NFL Halftime Shows

    It's halftime garbage at NFL games that make me really appreciate the World Series and baseball. I love football and nothing beats the NFL for excitement, but there is something really cool about the World Series and it's old school feel.

    Cards @ Niners predictions

    I actually feel pretty good about the Cards chances against San Fran. It appears that the Cards have found themselves a bit with the keep the game close, limit mistakes, win the game in the 4th quarter approach. Cards 17 Niners 15 (5 field goals-Niners dominate time of possession but...

    I believe one player (Beanie Wells) can change the image of the Cardinals.

    While watching the Illinois/Ohio State game yesterday, one of the announcers made a very simple, yet profound comment about the current state of college football. The announcer said that everyone is going to the spread offense, therefore causing the defenses to be built to stop the spread. What...

    2012 Draft: Whitney Mercilus DE/OLB University of Illinois

    Mercilus leads the nation in sacks, is in the top 5 in the nation in tackles for loss, and is way up there is forced fumbles. 6'4" 265 pounds and plays just like his last name (Mercilus is merciless) against opposing quarterbacks. Illinois is a real sleeper program when it comes to developing...

    Bill Cowher didn't endorse either Whisenhunt or Grimm for Steelers job.

    Maybe that should have told the Cardinals something. Cowher obviously didn't think either Whisenhunt or Grimm had what it took to continue the history of excellence in Pittsburgh and yet we hire both of them.

    Redskins and the forever pain...

    I remember being excited all week to watch the Redskins and Cards game. TV Guide listed the Cards/Redskins game as the game of the week on CBS (Channel 31 in Peoria, Illinois). My dad, brother, and I turn on the TV, they are doing pre game activities from RFK stadium, go to commercial and when...

    OT: Von Miller and Elvis Dumervill: QB's worst nightmare

    Man, I was watching the Broncos and Seahawks game and that combo of Miller and Dumervill is downright scary. Warren Sapp was commenting on Miller and saying that he hasn't seen a guy come off the edge with that type of explosion since watching Derek Thomas. It was early in the 3rd quarter when I...

    Planning my vacation: If lockout ends soon, will training camp start on time?

    Thanks for the information. I think I will take your advice.

    Planning my vacation: If lockout ends soon, will training camp start on time?

    I have one week (last week of July) set aside for a family vacation. About once every 4-5 years my family flies out to Flagstaff to enjoy the beautiful scenery and take in training camp. I'm really leery about purchasing any airline tickets if this lockout doesn't end soon. Question: If the...

    IMHO: The Housler pick was a stroke of genius.

    What coverage have teams employed the last 2 years against Larry Fitzgerald? Answer: Bracket coverage (cornerback with safety help over the top) Purpose of the bracket coverage: To keep Fitz from burning teams with the deep jump ball bombs. Since 2008, you can probably count on one hand...
