I love the swagger of this defense. It is hard to believe that he has done complete transplant in less than two years. Rolle is exactly what this emerging D needs right now. These guys are so young, nasty and confident. Now people will start to understand DG's need to clean house to change the attitude. As a unit these guys now have no residual ill connection to the old mindset Cards. It will be interesting to see if DG thinks he can salvage Wendell Bryant or if he is gone. He is really the last question mark on D when it come to the old regime.

It will also be interesting to see how/if LD evolves into more of a leader with the onslaught of this attitude now surrounding him.

As for LJ, is there a player trade that could bring us a TE?

This defense is going to be freaking awesome. Look at the speed. Freaking incredible.

I hope that Pace & Bryant can work their ways into the mix.

With Kenny King returning from injury, look at this D:

DE - Chike, Berry,
DT - Dockett, King, Davis
OLB - Dansby, Blaystock, Darling
ILB - Hayes, Mitchell
CB - Rolle, Macklin, Green
SS- Wilson
FS - Griffith

This defense rocks. Add in Kolodziej, Zellner, Bryant, Pace, A Smith (?), Huff, Joe, Keys, Tate, HArris, Ohalate & a few others for depth & wow. In 2 short years the worst defense in the NFL has become one to make OCs lose a little sleep

And the Denny bashers said he would not address defense at all and just build a vikings style offense.

Give Green his dues. He learns from his mistakes.

Yup, even at safety we suddenly have depth. A far cry from even a week ago when we didn't even have a CB to start opposite Macklin (although, I still think we need to grab a CB after June 1 cuts...right now we only have 4 and that includes Tate).

What a weekend for the Cardinals.

In two years this team is going to be scary-good (we're still a very, very young team). Here's to hoping we take a QB in the first next year.
:cheers:

You can bet I'll be using a high draft pick for the Cards defense in fantasy football this year. I had them last year and they rocked.

I'm very excited about the defense - I think a change at middle linebacker was sorely needed to help fix our run defense problems. Yet at the same time, I am still a little apprehensive that someone steps up big enough and I don't know if I will be really comfortable with that position until we see it happen on the field this season.

I know Hayes played the last game of 04 there and should be ready to step in, but I'm still a little uneasy.

With the amount of money Huff was signed for, I don't think they are thinking depth. He's going to challenge Hayes and Mitchell for the starting position.

And Blaystock looks like some combination of Blaylock and Blackstock. It's Blackstock -- like the opposite of the white socks. :)

Wouldn't the opposite of white socks be Blacksocks. Just think of black cows.

yeah that's what I meant. I guess reading that Hank Blalock went 0-6 vs NYY this weekend :shock: stuck in my mind
