Cardinals Release Kendall and Rogers

[Redheart]

Wow...all these posts...

and no-one even mentioned the shock of cutting Kendrick Rogers!

If I was Kendrick and reading this thread, I would be going "Hey...guys...they just cut ME, you know!"

Considering that I don't think he's appeared in a single game, I don't know why he's shocked. Reggie Wells has more fans than Kendrick has.

Kendrick Rogers was one of the most consistent players last year when he got in there. I am shocked. I can't believe they would release him at this point. Why not June 1st?


Couldn't resist. Just kidding.

Did I just see a Vikesfan post on here that suddenly disappeared?

Was that post by Cee?

Sounds good to me. It will save alot of broken hearts and anger down the road. I said it before, I will say it again. When Green leaves this team in the shambles he will leave it in, we will all look back fondly on the Buddy Ryan era.

Explain to me for one moment, since you are so sure of things, how this cut makes ANY sense when he is placing a rookie at the most inportant position on the OL?

uh maybe 'cuz kendall has been overrated for years. i lauded his signing, but never really saw him become the top-notch olineman i expected and NEVER saw his GREATNESS at center. if the rookie can play, by all means, throw him into the fire. what else does this team have to lose? 4 more games? whoopie.

I understand what you're saing, 11, but how often do you really think that we're going to be jamming it up the middle in the new offense?

We're going to a 3WR base offense. Both guards and the center are going to be asked to pull a lot. We've moved the least mobile pieces of the O-line now. Davis was moved to LT and Kendall (who is all right going forward but no longer has the mobility to get out in space) is off the team. We have Three guys with good feet in the middle of the line.

Kendall was/is way overrated on this board. This team will be better for this move, and healthier on the ledger sheet.

My objection to this move is not primarily based on the fact that Kendall was released. As has been pointed out, there are some decent arguments that COULD be made for it. The main thing that sticks in my craw, is once again....with Denny....how it was done.

Some of you may not give a rats ass for "class", but I do.

Ain't no bozo can convince me otherwise.

The way this was done was classless. Period. Whether it's of Denny's OR Michael Bidwill's doing. (my suspicions are its an all around power play/ploy by Green. something some of us who've "been around the block" have expected since day 1 )

My take at the moment:

Green 0 ...for total lack of class
Michael Bidwill....0 for being a gutless wonder in this case to humor Green

Rod Graves.....do you feel like Colin Powell?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Sorry but C is most important whether they are paid like it or not. C makes all the call to protect the QB from EVERY angle not just what the LT sees.

Best of luck to the OL now. Hope it works out. I still think Green f-ed this up.

you're playing with semantics. the center has to be the smartest player on the line. but he can be the least physically talented player. we have no idea how smart kendall, step, or lindsay are.

Oh my god call im the marching band!

Ouchie and Cheesy agree yet again.

Do you guys have seperate minds/thoughts?

I totally agree.

great minds think a like Shane - what can we say?

 

[ajcardfan]

I totally agree.

Jason Starkey was the least athletic lineman I've ever seen on the Cardinals practice field and he did not embarass himself when he played C.

I also don't get the roll eyes thing - does it bother you that we think alike - I mean Kerouac and I think alike on most issues - always curious about why people point this fact out on these boards. Why is this a problem for you . . . oh and don't go throwin' any drinks at us por favor.

That is the only problem that I have with it as well.

what do you want? we're brothers. we watch every game together. we discuss everything that happens both on and off the board. is it so uncommon then for us to have similar opinions. you'd get the same from our third bro and my pops too i'm sure. we just tend to agree 'cuz we're usually right. can't fault us for that.

Cheesy you know me by now. I like you two. A lot in fact.

I was trying to be funny but I can see how it can come across offensive.

SORRY!

I am beginning to think Buddy Ryan is back in town.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

i think it's hilarious that this divides down darkside/koolaid lines yet again, but only in the reverse! seems all the darksiders are okay with this move while all the koolaiders are freaking the hell outta dodge.

this team has stunk for a long time. dg has a great amount of credibility tied up in his record alone. he knows more about building a football team than do any of us, more than mac, and probably more than anyone in the cards organization. the team that's stunk for so long needed to be blown up. that's what dg is doing. he's building a team in his image. if that image is winning football, so be it. i'd prefer for us to a classy organization, but who can afford class when you're piling up 4 wins a season and not making money? i say, out with the overrated pete kendalls and in with the potential rookie!

no prob - was just having some fun back at you. And the next post wasn't necessarily meant towards you - I just happen to run across it a lot - I guess it has to do with us being brothers - but that's even weirder don't you think. MOst brothers always think the others are wrong.

Oh and I hope you don't take the Rondstadt dig too seriously - it was meant in jest - and I've meant to apologize about that whole spat on the Politics board for a while.

it is pretty scary sometimes how quickly we react considering we are miles apart and usually not even aware the other is on here.

you know, as much as he was ridiculous, that first year at least, though oftentimes confounding, was fun at least. i mean, buddy did what he was famous for . . . he sent everyone on defense. our defense was fun to watch. of course, he decimated our offense in the process and was a failure overall, but that first year was interesting . . .

i think we'll see a more cohesive plan from dg than was provided by buddy.

Ouchie, you and I don't often agree on very much, but after much soul searching and reading of a lot of different posts on this issue, I'm beginning to think you have the right answer.

Us realists are pretty pleased with this as well. After 4-12, change is likely to be a good thing

you'd think we have that wierd twins-psychic thing working rather than being 7 years apart in age.
