The word on Cardinals rookie DE Kenny Iwebema at the team’s early-May minicamp was that the fourth-round pick looked deceptively strong. Team insiders are already speculating that the presence of both Iwebema, who was coached by Cardinals D-line coach Ron Aiken at the University of Iowa, and fellow rookie DE Calais Campbell, who is also capable of moving inside, has increased the likelihood that Antonio Smith, who’ll be a free agent at the end of the 2008 season, could be playing elsewhere in ’09.

It appears that Tim Castille, who has put on 20 pounds and is a big favorite of Cardinals RB coach Maurice Carthon, could be positioned to take over the starting FB job from veteran Terrelle Smith. It wouldn’t be a shock to team insiders if Smith, who hasn’t been a regular at the Cardinals’ offseason conditioning workouts, were released — a move that would save the team a cool $1 million.

Antonio Smith, you had better bring it this year. I love competition! It's nice to finally have some quality depth for once.

I'd say that it's premature to be insinuating that the rooks are going to supplant A. Smith.

Yeah, I read that yesterday too. It's like it said, Smith will be playing for a new contract with a new team next season. He won't be supplanted this year. However they addressed the position this year at the draft to take care of him walking.

They aren't saying they will send Smith to the bench. They are saying he won't be resigned next year. It is a natural progression. The key is we are drafting guys this year for next year's team. Good front offices do this and do it often.

We don't use the fullback that much anyway. Easy cut if you ask me.

It's almost looking like a done deal. Teams simply don't carry two fullbacks.

Dont know about this year and how they would use them but if it is any indication Edge ran behind a FB 67% of the time. I think it is an important part of the Wiz philosophy.

Well that's possible, but I mean that it's yet to be determined if these two rookies are the guys that will make that feasible. They haven't played a down yet...


Btw, what's a "Whipser" (thread title)?
