[PoolBoy]

[JAB]

Blame it on chronic pain 24-7 or brain tumor.Take your pick.sorry for not being able to post in a better fashion.I do it out of love for the team and wanting to win it all though.

So its coming from a good place even if it stinks as you try to read.Forgive me for my passion.

That sucks hang in there dude.............



We need help this year at CB maybe Dre' Bly? One year thing?

 

[az jam]

I do share Doug's concern on Hayes. He missed playing time this past season and it hurt us for sure. We don't really have a replacement and missing the mini-camp certainly is a red flag warning. I hope that I'm wrong.

 

[Mitch]

Man, we are suddenly LOADED with kickoff and punt returner options:

Miller: 5 careeer TDs.

LSH: I career TD.

Jefferson: Top 5 in NCAA KO return average in 2008.

Roberts: Punt returner deluxe.

Calvin: Dynamic at Troy as punt returner.

Marshay Green: Punt return TD in 2009 Cotton Bowl....and many great others.

Oh, and when we need him, there's a guy named Steve Breaston.

 

[Billy Bob]

A lumbar disc does only one of (3) things.It Bulges,herniates or ruptures.There is no REAL medical term as slipped disc.Thats Chiro talk and is scary.

Do you know how close a Bulge is from a herniation and the pain involved?The drop-off in play from 10 tackle games to barely showing up on the stats page does'nt lie.

I don't want OUR season hanging on a disc situation play to play.With Monty as a repacement makes me want to scream.Its a MAJOR problem that has to be addressed BEFORE the season starts or Having your so called Thumper with a risky disc position is the way to go backwards with a nobody as a backup.PERIOD.

Do you want to see the you-tube video of the WR from Houston texans run over Hayes and put him on his back as he continued on 5 yards for a TD.Embarrassing was'nt the word.REPLACEMENT is the word as quickly as possible.

If the CARDINALS could have had any player of need from the draft McClain from Bama would have been the guy.We got the NT we wanted.We got "THE GUY" picked to best replace Karlos.We got a great new wide reciever who can be a returnman & fight to make the top 3 or higher in our 4 man WR rotation.

No One after that could have helped our situation as a rookie.Everyone else left was too much of a longterm project.Even the South carolina kid that is more suited to OLB in the 4th round.

I personally have degenerative DISC Disease and played the game and know what collisions do for a disc condition and hoping for a longterm POSITIVE outcome is pure dreaming.Hayes has'nt shown signs of early last year since then.

Why is he still not testing it?Too many questions to base the outcome of a defense taking a risk on an unproven nickleback and trying to fit Williams and Washington as quickly as we can in a defense that was embarrassed its last two games.

How many points can we squeeze out of Matt and the offense each game this year?

I can remember riding Charles Barkley's bulging disc all the way to the NBA finals so stop with the negativity.

so we are set with cornerback able to return punt or kick..now we just need somebody who can do the job:COVER

 

[WildBB]

Re: Miller--Good. The CB position is so thin we need to through a bunch of bodies at it and hope someone steps up in TC.

re: Hayes--I like Hayes a lot, so I hope for his sake and the Cardinals sake he can return to some semblance of form. That said, I doubt it. It's a hole for certain, but I honestly think a thumper MLB in a 3-4 is probably the easiest type of LB to find in all of football.

(that's not to say I think we'll find someone as good as hayes was a couple of years ago, or that they're all the same, just that I think we can plug someone in there easier than we could at WILB or the OLB spots)

Reggie Walker could be showing more in his 2nd year. He hits pretty good.

 

[Russ Smith]

My question is why are so many of you freaking out about Hayes and making comments like this when NONE of you know anything about his situation.

Furthermore Urban has clearly said that the team expects him to be ok by the time the season rolls around? Just because a guy was hurt last year doesn't make it an automatic this year.

Because veteran inside LB's with back problems tend to have it as a recurring problem? I hope he's ok too but I think it would be crazy to assume he will be, that's a very physically demanding position.

 

[Doug]

I can remember riding Charles Barkley's bulging disc all the way to the NBA finals so stop with the negativity.

I especially loved the series Chuck put the pads on and had car crashing collisions on every play down the court.Was'nt that amazing? NBA has Nothing to do with the NFL.

I feel bad for your comparison. I'm not trying to be negative or bring anyone down.Keep drinking the Koolaid,but know I'm all about filling the weakspots on our team before we get embarrassed on defense again.It hurts.

I live in reality and stay positive and know even the toughest basketball game and getting hard fouled is a joke compared to what occurs on the gridiron in the NFL.Wow!

Apples and oranges. If even that close. I am with Doug on this one.

I agree with you Doug. I have 4 bad disks in my lower back. Doesnt matter how much you rehab it, it will not go away. You might build up the muscles around it and that will only last for so long.

 

[joeshmo]

I agree. Miller is far from ideal, but he'll probably be just as effective as Ralph Brown, Barksdale or William James.

I think that is a possibility. Scouts Inc. last write up on him is that he has all the physical tools but none of the mental tools. Sort of ADD for DB's if you will. Jurecki noted in his OTA report that Henderson was all over the DB's because some of them were in lala land and just not paying attention. Like to know who those DB's were, don't think it was Miller though or they wouldn't have signed him.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

... know I'm all about filling the weakspots on our team before we get embarrassed on defense again.It hurts.

I am right with you on that one. Oh man, I'm with you on that one. Get us that THUMPER!

 

[Cheesebeef]

I can remember riding Charles Barkley's bulging disc all the way to the NBA finals so stop with the negativity.

a) no you don't. Barkley didn't have back problems until the pre-season of 1993-4 season and he was NEVER the same player and then when those back problems REALLY acted up, the Suns went tortilla and completely folded in the semis after going up 2-0 with the both of the first two games IN Houston. The only thing wrong with Sir Charles in our Finals run was his elbow and he banged that up at the end of Game 2 of that series.

b) Comparing a basketball player to a ILB who crushes and gets crushed on EVERY play just doesn't hold water.

 

[Dayman]

I didn't hear Jurecki's report. Sounds pretty disappointing. I hope Toler wasn't one of the players he was referring to. If he doesn't step up this year, we're in serious trouble.

 

[PJ1]

Would rather we had signed James and wasn't really thrilled with that.

 

[Stout]

We needed CB depth, and Henderson is familiar with him, so I'm for it.


As to Hayes, I am greatly concerned, but we have to wait and see how it plays out.

 

[Catfish]

You are good. It is just the all caps sometimes. Don't pay me any attention. I forgot about your chronic pain.

Mulli:-----someone who suffers from chronic pain can't forget about it. It is there constantly, even though he has had, (and will continue to have surgeries to correct the problem). The man knows what he is talking about, and he called the situation immediately when it happened last year.

It only got worse for Hayes, and for our team after that, and Hayes is still trying to cover it up this year. That won't get it. There needs to be a competetive body at the SILB position, and Beisel is not the answer. He proved that last year.

some might say Beisel proved that the second he stepped on the field (someone being me).

 

[Pariah]

Unless we bring someone in, I'd move Haggans inside and expedite the youth movement on the outside.

 

[Catfish]

Unless we bring someone in, I'd move Haggans inside and expedite the youth movement on the outside.

He has played inside before, (how successfully he played there I don't know). He has good size though, and great knowlege about our defense. Since there seems to be a little more depth at OLB, maybe we could get by with moving Haggans inside and having him be successful there. We should still have decent depth at OLB if this were to happen, although the experience part would be lost from the left side outside if Brown or Davis was to move over there. This is one possible consideration for when Hayes crashes and burns, which he is almost certain to do.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I've never seen him play or kow what his skill set is, but Washington looks to have the size to move inside if needed. He's listed at 6'3 246. Hayes is 6'1 236. I don't know who it will be but the Cards have to be abreast of Hayes's back situation and have some kind of backup plan.

 

[Lomax to Green 84]

Good call. Much more depth on the outside anyway.

Hayes is 6'1" 246lbs

 

[Monty]

Im with Doug on the Hayes issue. Before the draft i had been saying how imperative it is that we get a SILB prospect NOW so that we can prepare for Hayes' soon to come decline. The guy has been injured at some time of pretty much every season he has been with us and his backpain looks to be chronic and doesn't seem to heal sufficiently for him to ever play painfree and unrestricted. I like Hayes and his gutsy attitude but its hard to trust him to play unrestricted and pain free for a whole season. Considering that we have a new player alongside him it is vital that he plays with maturity and leadership to nurture Washington into the role but with his condition still unresolved i cant see it happening. Boy i hope that one of the back-up options really brings his game together and turns a few heads cause we are gonna need that guy to step up big time this season.
