Will Stephens-Howling or Powell start against the Bills?

I think LaRod starts, but wouldn't be shocked at all if Powell ends up with more carries.

Whoever does will not help improving our running woes... which means more throws... which means... God, I don't want to even think... :bang::pullhair:

Powell should get his chance.

Cards need to run out of jumbo package and keep Kolb alive.

They need to do more passing out of the jumbo via play action and more runs out of the spread formation i.e. draw plays. It amazes me that we don't see them doing these things.

Doesn't matter who starts - whoever best fits the package we start out with.

It could all boil down to which RB we can trust most in blitz protection or catching out of the backfield.

One of my big concerns is that we have a RB who can do all the packages. Apparently RW couldn't so we couldn't play him in no huddle.

Obviously if we have a guy in who can't pass block then it becomes a huge tip on when we're going to run or throw if we're changing backs out so you gotta get a guy who can do both.

Watching the Texans last night they mentioned a couple of times how the perceived weakness of that team is WR, they would like to get a veteran WR.

Wonder if the Cards would consider offering Doucet plus something for Ben Tate?

Unlikely. They seemed to indicate the Texans want an experienced guy not a young guy so Doucet probably makes more sense than Floyd.

But it sounds like we think we can fill it from within or the waiver wire I hope we're right.

Just keep Sherman on the field with the designated running back and the "tell" disappears.

Start WillPo, make sure he reads this first :)

Sept. 23, 2001:
"Bledsoe was hit hard as he ran toward the sideline by Mo Lewis with 5:01 left in the game. Bledsoe returned for the next series, which ended with the Patriots' fourth turnover on Marc Edwards' second fumble. But Tom Brady replaced Bledsoe on the final series."
