Baffling, the one guy on this team that does NOT need a message is Shipp, as others have said he's been benched like this so many times I've lost count.
We all saw last year that Emmitt had little left in the tank, we've read stories more than once about how Emmitt is practically invisible on the team in camp right now most of the work going to Shipp. So how in the world did Emmitt get promoted now?
DG sure does keep you on your toes I'll give him that. Not saying Shipp is a premier RB or anything but I hope we don't have to go through what we did last year before Shipp gets the job back.

...by multiple coaches. What does that say? Maybe Shipp is the inferior player and we've all got the wrong idea about him.
I hope not, I see Shipp as our only hope of a running game this year, but I do trust in the wisdom of Denny Green... we'll have to see what happens.

SWEET!
Well at least we know now that DG isn't content to settle for Ronnie Brown later in the first and is going right for Cadillac Williams at #5 overall. The move is just subtle enough to cost us a few games without looking like he's intentionally trying to throw the season...
At least that is what I am going to tell myself while I cry myself to sleep at night... =(

Whatever.
All I care about is who's starting in game one in St. Louise.
So far ...
Leonard has gone from rt. gaurd, to left gaurd, to left tackle.
LJ has gone from rt, to the bench.
Marcel snubbed for the third consecutive year.
AC is under the radar. (look out)
Kendall is safe, but we drafted two centers.
Quan has been moved to the outside.
McCown has been annointed starter, and Leon released.
Both of our run stuffing dt's, released.
There's more, too numerous to mention.
I'll never forget Emmitt in that game last year in Irving. I would have sworn, he was walking off the field for the last time at halftime of that game. He looked weak, meek, beaten down, he had "give up," written all over him. If he REALLY IS the best we have ...we're in big trouble.
I'm not buying what Denny's selling.

True. That was the worst game I've ever seen an offensive line play, college or pro. It was truly disgusting.WizardOfAz said:

Hey, I'm in agreement with everything Denny does.
That doesn't mean I BELIEVE everything he says.
9-7 in 2004.

Just look at Dennis Green's career record. He's taken 7 different QBs to the Playoffs.Lex said:
In order for this franchise to succeed, they must believe in DG. His track record has spoken for itself.
He has taken 7 different QBs to the playoffs.
He has always been a winner.
Dennis just won't stand for any nonsense.

Stupid move DG

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Wow, I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt up to this point, but DG really screwed the pooch on this move. Idiotic is being kind. Smith has nothing left in the tank...remember, Shipp got the same crap blocking last year but looked 10 times better than Smith. Also, Shipp needs no motivation...he does that well enough on his own. This is nothing more than a slap to the face of a superior player (superior to Smith, anyways), and is wildly stupid, IMO.
I'm no big fan of Shipp, but he's better than Smith at this point in their careers. Unless there's something insanely terrible going on behind the scenes to justify this, then it was sheer stupidity.

Dont know how the oline showed their faces after that game. They had to have known that the dallas dline was after Smith. And they did nothing at all to protect him.

Who knows maybe Smith had something wrong with him all last year that made him look really, really, really, really, slow and it's been fixed?

At some point Green's psychological tinkering is going to wear real thin on this team.

We got the other 31 teams right in our sight.....we cocked the hammer....then truned the gun at ourselves, and pulled the trigger.

Yeah he should be fired right now before he leads the Cards into becoming the worst team in the NFL oh wait a second...
Don't forget he dumped Lucas "the playmaker" and his 2 ints in 5 years.
BTW isn't funny how the Cards are slowly moving up in people's perceptions? Moved up in Madden. That article today saying they were among the most improved. How great their draft was rated. Getting a top FA.

I don't doubt that Shipp will be the starter game 1, but the head games are going to get old (if in fact this is all some motivational ploy).
