Have A Question About Training Camp? Ask Dave Pasch and John Mistler Here!

[Mulli]

Hey, DP. Thanks for doing this!

 

[SECTION 11]

How about Walter Reyes out of Syracuse? Who does he compare to in the NFL?

 

[D Pasch]

If you were to guess, name the starters on opening day on the offensive line and why.

Thanks

Davis, Wells, Stepanovich, Spikes, Clement. I just don't see it changing right now, unless the coaching staff changes its mind about LJ Shelton.

 

[D Pasch]

Do you think Josh McCown will be the starting QB the whole year?

Yes.

Will Emmitt Smith get more yards then he got last year?

Yes.

Does Freddie Jones have a chance to become a pro-bowler this year?

A chance.

Will Anquan Boldin be a pro-bowler like last year?

Yes.

With Fitzgerald getting such a huge contract, will Anquan Boldin get even more?

No, but he will still get paid.

 

[Mr.Dibbs]

Thanks Pasch! You Da Man!

 

[D Pasch]

How are Wendell Bryant and Dennis Johnson performing?

Just okay. Wendell has greater upside, but still not there yet.

Do you think that there'll be space on the roster for '03 standout Levar Fisher, or is he destined for the in-season PUP list?

Levar has to show he can be healthy. If healthy, he could be a factor at WLB.

Question

What went through your head before and after the last play of last year against the Vikings? Your call was classic!

 

[D Pasch]

-Where do you see L.J Shelton on the O Line if L. Davis is staying at LT?

RT if Clement struggles, otherwise on the second team.

-
-Which RB's will make the team? Which RB has been having the best camp?

Smith, Shipp, and either Scobey or Anderson. Shipp looks the best to me.

-
-Judging from camp, who will partner Starks? Hill or Macklin?

Macklin. He's an upgrade from Barrett as a cover guy.

-How is Josh McCown performing in camp?

Josh looks good, and he's playing with confidence.

 

[D Pasch]

Heading into training camp, the concensus seemed to be that the offense would be potent, but there were still a lot of questions of defense. Based on early camp reports, the defense seems to be dominating.

1) Is this a surprise to you?

The defense is usually ahead of the offense at this stage, so it's not surprising. However, I do think the defense will be better this year.

2) Do you think it's just a matter of the O learning a new system, or do you think this will continue to be the case heading into the season?

I think the offense will be inconsistent because it has so many young players, plus the offense line has been reshuffled. Still, it could be very potent because of that receiving corps.

Mr. Pasch, If I remember, you were talking about the lack of quality DT's on this team. How are they preforming this camp with a competent DL coach in Deek.

I haven't seen much of Dockett, but what I see I like. Kenny King is better. Bert Berry makes the biggest difference in the DL. He's a really good player.

 

[D Pasch]

What went through your head before and after the last play of last year against the Vikings? Your call was classic!

I couldn't believe it when it happened, even though I had a strange feeling the Cards were going to do something wild at the end of the game. That was a lot of fun. If Josh McCown becomes a star, that will be the play that started a great career.

 

[D Pasch]

How about Walter Reyes out of Syracuse? Who does he compare to in the NFL?

Reyes is an excellent back. I would probably compare him to Michael Bennett with Minnesota. He can break a big one at any time.

Guys, thanks for all of the great questions. I will try to answer others over the next few days.

Make sure you listen to the broadcast tonight on the radio, or at azcardinals.com.

When the Cardinals move into the new stadium, what will you miss the most about Sun Devil Stadium? Just kidding.

Guys, thanks for all of the great questions. I will try to answer others over the next few days.

Thanks for taking the time. The one drawback of Sunday Ticket on DirecTV is that I no longer get to listen to your game calls streamed over the internet.

Go Cards!!!

Thanks for doing this again!

Dave, I hope you don't mind but I edited some of your responses so that they didn't show up as part of the quote. Thanks again for your replys!

By the way, I just got back from a business trip to Syracuse. I must say it was not the New York that I was expecting. It definitely has more of a small town feel.

Thanks Dave! what an awesome guy!
