2012 Kool Aid

[Duckjake]

Our starting lineup:

Darnell Dockett one of the best DEs in the business
Dan Williams recovers from his broken arm and dominates the middle
Calais Campbell A franchise player
Sam Acho moves to Haggans spot and anchors the left side for 4 years
Stewart Bradley finally gets it midway thru preseason and shows us he was worth the money
Daryl Washington continues to improve and becomes the guy OCs have to game plan around
Melvin Ingram breaks Simeon Rice's rookie sack record
Greg Toler recovers nicely from his knee injury and compliments:
Patrick Peterson a star player who earns another pro bowl spot
Kerry Rhodes and Adrian Wilson are seasoned veterans at the Safety spots

John Skelton a tough kid who just knows how to win
Beanie Wells ran for over a 1000 yards on a bum knee
Sherman Tank outstanding lead blocker gets even better in the huge jump form year 1 to year 2
Jeff King the surprise of the 2011 free agent class
Andre Roberts and Early Doucet can't help but benefit from a second year of working with Double Duece.
Larry Fitzgerald what can you say? He's an Alien
Levi Brown,Daryn Colledge,Lyle Sendlein all benefit from another year together
Adam Snyder becomes the best of our perennial free agent Guards
Right Tackle...what? We don't have a Right Tackle. Ok I'll finish this later.

Truly a koolaid post and I endorse it fully.

Mitch also had a post that showed some other potential break out players that are very young.

So yes we need a RT and at least some young developing depth, especially at SILB.

I would also add Carter to your list, hopefully he doesn't experience a sophmore slump.

What really gets the Kool Aid flowing for me is that our backup players are guys who would have been starters for the Cards for Bugel or McGinnis. Our linebackers no longer look like safeties running in mud and our safeties instead of looking like other teams corners look like linebackers.

IF we can just get some decent QB play we'll be making some noise this fall.

Dang, a Cardinal team with a high quality Defense? I never thought I'd live long enough.

 

[BigRedRage]

love it and love our defense all the way around.

Pipe dream having skelton start though, it will be handed to Korn

 

[Gee!]

John Skelton is gonna have a tough time winning from the bench..

Reading your post fires me up. Are we really that good? I hope so.

LOL. I didn't know you were a Houston Cougers fan. This time next year Kolb will be lucky to have a job in the NFL while Double Duece will have recently played in Hawaii.

I dont think starting Bartel is a good idea.

You an' me both brother! I have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure I'm not dreaming!

I totally buy into the koolaid. It's quite funny to me though that for Brown/Colledge/Sendlein the best comment you (or anyone for that matter) could possibly come up with is, "Well, they'll benefit from having another year together." LOL! That's serious koolaid.

I'm really torn on the Skelton V Kolb debate here, or in general. I really believe Whis is going to give Kolb a long rope this year. We're paying him good money and they're going to want to know what he can (or can't) do. Only way to find out is play him and even if he sucks they're going to want to see how he reacts to bad games (assuming he doesn't get hurt again, of course). My gut feeling is Skelton will see limited time.

That being said, I still believe in Skelton a lot more than most. His pocket presence is off the charts, but he's gotta--sounds simple-stupid--complete more passes. Even Kolb has a better completion percentage. If Skelton somehow see's some time this year and shows more improvement, especially dramatic improvement, I'm going to be screaming for him to start the following year. Honestly, I don't see how anyone could argue with that if he shows more improvement. It's not every QB that improves from one year to the next and Skelton has (granted, he's got further to climb than a lot of guys). Skelton could be our dream scenario: A franchise QB who was groomed in house from draft day.

Love me some Cardinal Koolaid, a little too early in the morning to partake in some right now

Kolb will show some improvement when he has more than a long weekend to learn our system; the question is how much?

Personally I'm much more worried about his ability to stay healthy than anything else.

Skelton's potential is exciting but he's got to show drastic improvement this year, looking forward to seeing him in preseason.

QBs are going to benefit from the extra preseason game.

Defense - Finally, finally, finally

 

[jwmann2]

I'm not sold on Skelton. This defense could carry this team all the way into the playoffs though. Tons of veteran leadership.

Melvin Ingram breaks Simeon Rice's rookie sack record

Man I like this one!

Kerry Rhodes and Adrian Wilson are seasoned veterans at the Safety spots

The secondary is still somewhat scary! I could live with upgrades here and at the opposite CB.
