You got the basic jist but a few corrections...

Huff is playing OLB, Hayes is our starter at MLB
E Brown will be on the right side not the left, Wells stays put

No, they make the team as FB or they're cut

Looking for holes in your lineup but have to say that at this point it looks like you have it set pretty good. The only weak spots appear to be at TE, OG and perhaps at DT (Davis). IMO it is a solid team and there could be some surprises (I.e Lance Mitchel, Ernest Shazor, Adam Bergen)

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Neither FB will play TE, although Femi did play TE at SD State, but he is way to small to play TE in Pros.


Anyhow, Femi is such a good check down reciever there really is no need to line him up at TE. So He can engage the block and then release into pattern as needed.

Anybody else abit weary (sp?) of Huff playing OLB? When I watched Seahawks games I didn't think he had enough speed to play on the outside.

I read somewhere to watchout for Kenny King at Dt he has beefed up and is in great shapre ready to push Davis out of the starters spot.

Don't worry about Huff they are going to give him a fake penis and he'll be alot faster!

 

[nurnay]

Agree with some of the concerns folks have posted, but this is honestly the best starting lineup this team has seen since coming to AZ.

Looks pretty darn good to me. Every team has weaknesses. Let's just hope ours don't get exposed too badly.

 

[Goldfield]

I do agree this is one of thw best teams the Cardinals will have fielded in along time....

I think Wells is underated, he played very solid.

My sleeper is Kenny King I think he will be an impact on the Dline.


My question marks are TE & Returnman...

 

[Redsz]

Yeah, TE seems like a trouble spot (on paper atleast).

The crazy thing is that I'm not really freaking out if we go into opening day with Eric Edwards as the starter.

I liked what I saw from him last year in terms of blocking and catching. Edwards might actually break a tackle now and then. Or finish a block.

Not to mention that Bobby Blizzard has been tearing it up in NFL Europe. Sure, that doesn't mean he is going to dominate in the NFL. But I'm sure he will contribute.

Add that to the fact that we have Keith Rowen coaching both of them. And he is known to be a pretty good coach when it comes to TE's.

 

[Jasper]

I predict Carlyle Holiday over McCoy for 4th receiver spot!

 

[vince56]

Dude, you guys are nuts. No way they play on paper this year, they're gonna play on grass.

pfft, morons.

 

[Redsz]

You have obviously never played paper football! Or electronic football! Or any other medium of football!

What type of fan are you?

 

[JPlay]

Our TE position is awful. I would really like to see us bring someone in after cuts. I'm sure we could sign a vet for a one year deal. Cam Cleeland or someone.

We had Anthony McCullough a few yrs back who was the NFLE MVP & he couldn't even beat out Martay J, Nate Poole, Jake Solliday, or Kasper for a WR spot.

 

[maddogkf]

I love our LB corps, especially with Blackstock & Mitchell in the mix.

Our TE position is awful.

It's not awful. It's fairly average.

 

[CHRIS THE CARD]

TE is AWFUL!!! Who's gonna start for us, Edwards???

[Totally_Red]

maybe not awful

If this Adam Bergen kid from I-AA Lehigh develops, there is hope.

 

[JPlay]

It's not awful. It's fairly average.

Average would be us starting with a veteran who is not a star.

Below average is us starting someone 99.9 percent of the non-Cardinal football fans would even know.

Below average is us starting a TE who won't even get picked up on waivers this year in fantasy football.

Like Antonio Gates 2 years ago, hell even last year? Not saying we have a Pro Bowl TE on the roster or even close to it but young guys come from nowhere all the time in the NFL at some positions.

I doubt 99.9 % of non Cards fans know we signed Warner, let alone who our TE is.

Do I wish we had a better TE, yes, but it's not a huge concern for me we may as well get by with younger cheaper players this year, then when we draft Marcedes Lewis in the 20's next year we won't have to worry about TE for a long time.

 

[Redheart]

We havn't had a TE for a long time.
