That will make me
That will make me
The Cards have always been labeled a soft team. We've never been a running team that physically imposes our will on the opponent. Drafting two talented guys like Warmack and Warford would change our identity. Run down their throats and boom play action.
How DID he turn out? I couldn't tell due to his season-ending injury
He played in the final 4 games and started 3 of them.
The Whis/Graves tandem took giant steps backward when they were unable or unwilling to retain and/or motivate the two most physical players on the 2008 Super Bowl team in Anquan Boldin and Deuce Lutui. I am optimistic that the Steve Keim-Bruce Arians tandem will not repeat that tragic episode in Cardinal history.
on offense, I agree. I don't think Lutui was workable. But losing Q did suck. A LOT. I loved him. The guy is all heart on that field. But considering we got Rhodes and Washington out of it, I don't know that I could call it a step backwards, let alone a "giant step backwards"
It's a giant step backward in physicality, especially when coupled with the retirement of Gerald Hayes, our big thumper in the middle. Washington and Rhodes have talent especially Washington, but neither is all that physical IMO.
If he's that good, he'll be gone by 7...just like we thought Joe Thomas would fall to us. Everyone had Colt McCoy would be taken at the top.....nope.
