Yep. I had completely written him off. Spouted on here that he was as much of a bust as Minter.

I've got my crow on the smoker as we speak.

Where has Kareem Martin been lately?

 

[Shaggy]

Is he considered a pass rusher or is in a position to get to the QB easier?

 

[Jetstream Green]

This is basically his rookie year, we got a player in Cardinal red

 

[juza76]

yeah is turning in to a great player for us.also not so slow as someone indicated,in other side i m worry about kareem martin being inactive again,3th round pick,dont know,maybe they want him put on some lbs on,getting bigger

 

[BullheadCardFan]

He is really coming on strong and we need him to keep playing like this. Good surprise

 

[Goldfield]

That is huge for us. One less hole to fill hopefully

 

[Russ Smith]

He's so good on those delayed blitzes or stunts, he's like a RB that has great patience he sets up the play so he gets in unblocked.

Terrific

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

If he stays healthy he'll become our LaMarr Woodley. If the Cards can get a pass rusher on the opposite side, and DWash returns, getting sacks will come in bunches.

What's key in those plays is our coverage... Our defensive backs are providing the time Okafor needs to run those stunts and get home!

One less hole, yes, but not a reason to wait on a pass rusher again. A pass-rushing OLBer is still our #1 offseaon priority, IMO.

Yes indeedy!

I don`t recall many fans on this board liking his selection in the draft.I would think opinions have changed since then.

I would say ILB, but it is pretty close. What is funny is that our offense sucks th most but is not one of our top 2 needs. Wha?

Definitly, about which position will you use the first 3 picks ?

 

[Iceman]

He was one of the main reasons we won that game yesterday. That INT was huge!!

If I am the Cardinals, I am filling some holes via free agency so I am not locked into a certain spot come draft day. I know there isn't a ton of money to throw around, but there are some ILBs who might be worth some creative accounting. Honestly, I think Patrick Willis is going to get cut, and I would love to take a chance on him but we will see.

As of right now, it looks like there should be some options for us at ILB and OLB in either round 1 or 2. However, our offense needs help as well, and it will be interesting to see how that gets improved.

Agree and it had to happen that one of our mid round picks would finally produce a pass rusher. My concern is that Acho finished his rookie year on a tare with sacks as well but that came to an end.

If he stays healthy he'll become our LaMarr Woodley. If the Cards can get a pass rusher on the opposite side, and DWash returns, getting sacks will come in bunches.

Goosebumps time for sure. Factor in CC & DD getting pressure from the inside.

I'm pretty much thinking the same thing even though Okafor has emerged.

The offense has not performed to the level one would expect with the talent we have at WR & the OT positions. Palmer was playing very well so him going down explains the past 3 weeks but even when he was playing the Offense was okay to solid.

I'm always good with drafting Oline early and we do need a quality RB added. If Fitz's contract can't be fixed then a WR will also be needed. Do we draft a QBOTF if one is available in rd1 or 2?

I still want to get the elite pass rusher first and foremost. BA has been in the NFL for decades so I'm sure he knows another great DC candidate when Bowles gets his HC opportunity but let's hedge our bets and keep adding talent to the D.
