Who are you man-crushing on this year?

[Ryanwb]

I see some love for Hightower.

I am crushing on Ben Patrick and Levi Brown. Brown looks so quick and agile from a year ago if he translates this speed and technique he showed off at the mini-camp to game days he will punish DE's this season. This team has always had a hard time dealing with edge speed rushers like Little and Kearney (last year).

Patrick looks like he could finally provide the TE this team has been lacking for years. Hopefully Leonard Pope can contribute here as well, however Patrick seems to have a little more fire in him.

Im all over Levi. He looked absolutely fit and fantastically quick and agile in those mini camp videos. I truly think he is going to be a manchild this year if he stays healthy.

On D - Okeafer - He was made for this 3-4 hybrid scheme that we use.

On O - TE's - All 3 of them are going to play a major role both in blocking and catching for us this year.

Having a good blocking TE in Tuman next to him should make him all the more comfortable as well.

True dat! IMO he has the tools to be a PB Tackle. He strives for it too and looks hungry. I like that in a guy!

I forgot about Tuman! A 3 TE set would be beautiful in this offense

 

[abomb]

On D? Always has been and will be a healthy Adrian Wilson.

 

[nurnay]

Boldin. Always.

I love me some Gerald Hayes! Totally underappreciated IMO.

I'm man crushing on Patrick. In the short time he played during the season he should a lot of promise with those redzone TD's.

I know at Training Camp after practice all of the women were crushing on him hard. they were in awe of the kid.

The dude is a man beast. Nothing can you do but take the left overs

 

[black]

Leinart for me. I hope we finally have a franchise QB.

 

[Mitch]

Clark Haggans...I think he will be an emotional leader of the defense. He's got a ring and he knows what it takes.

On offense...Kurt Warner...imagine what he can do with two healthy arms. The fact that he threw for 27 TDs with one arm in a ballooned cast, is phenomenal.

On special teams...Aaron Francisco. Now healthy...look out. He will be a flat-out headhunter on special teams.

The best thing about this year's Cardinals...it's a great blend of veterans with Super Bowl rings (Warner, Tuman, Haggans, Morey) and youngsters with huge upside (Levi Brown, Deuce, Patrick, Doucet, Hightower, Breatson, Castille, Antonio Smith, Campbell, Iwebema, Highsmith, DRC).

Whom does he unseat to start IYO?

 

[82CardsGrad]

Boldin, Fitz, Duece, Gandy, Al Johnson, Branch, Watson, Wilson, Hayes...

I honestly can't pick one dude... Too many questions to be answered... Too many failures to reflect back on...
Too many promises left unfullfilled....

I hope Dockett gets his head on straight and plays up to the expectations so many have of him.
I hope Boldin can stay healthy this year!
I would LOVE to see Branch take a HUGE step up in his progression. The man is loaded with incredible size and talent. Has everything a players needs to be totally dominant. Not sure what sits between the ears though... We'll soon see!

I hope Rolle can live up to the HUGE expectations now placed on him in his new position.
I hope we find a better answer at RB than Edge...

And finally, I hope Matty proves me wrong. I hope his performance reaches only 1/2 the expectation level... Above all else, this to me is the most critical issues heading into this season. If he can't take the next step and effectively lead this team - the detrimental impact will be stifling...

 

[Zeno]

I think Doucet will put up better numbers than Johnson did last season, maybe not 46 receptions but he'll have more than 2 TDs(my guess is 5 or 6). He will definitely be a major factor in this offense and keep scrubs like Urban and Morey off the field (and hopefully off the team). He'll make a few highlight reels this year.

I think that's asking a lot of a rookie 3rd rounder...

And, while I don't believe they are starters by any stretch, I think both Urban and Morey add great depth!

That's a Paris Hilton sized man crush!

 

[earthsci]

Antrell Rolle. He WILL break the record for most interceptions returned for touchdowns in a season.

 

[DaisyCutter]

On offense - Leinart. Whis is building this team to play close games. Warner is too iffy in clutch situations, but Leinart is going to be the steady quarterback this team needs. He will come through when the team needs him.

On defense - Karlos Dansby. Playmaker. The upgraded weapons around him will only make him stand out more as a superior athlete and football player. If he or the Cards change his designation to ILB, he'll make a strong push for the Pro Bowl (which means the Cards likely won't, since a Pro Bowl designation will raise his contract value).

 

[MadCardDisease]

Rackers!

 

[Goldfield]

I go for the underdog's.

RB- Tim Hightower

 

[Mitch]

Whom does he unseat to start IYO?

I don't think it will matter if he starts...he will play a lot and be on the field at crunch time.

 

[DeAnna]

Travis LaBoy because he has a LaGirl ponytail.
