Got Questions for the Arizona Cardinals?

Hey Turf Show Times,

Cgolden from Revenge of the Birds here. In an effort to maximize community interaction between ROTB and you guys at TST this week, VanRam and I have decided to cross-promote by throwing up a FanPost so that you, devout fans of the Rams, can get any and all questions answered about the Arizona Cardinals (and vice versa over at ROTB). So I'm here to answer your questions - and I expect a few ROTB-ers will migrate over to discuss the upcoming Rams/Cardinals game as well. How your former QB Kurt Warner is playing and the best way to attack him? Curious about the Cardinals' injury situation? I may not be the dali-lama but I'll do my best to shoot it to you straight.

Anything you got, fire away - I'm here to share and learn. I'm looking forward to an entertaining Cardinals/Rams game this weekend. Should be fun.

You're off to a nice start..

and in this division, you don’t seem to have a lot of competition…YET. ;) Do you see the Cardinals as a 10+ win team, or do you see them around 9-7?

Also, what can we expect to see out of your running game? It’s obvious Hightower is inching closer and closer to being “the guy,” but will he actually become the starter? How many carries can Edge figure to get now?

Finally…
Breaston or Avery?

Thanks!

GO RAMS.

This should spark some debate

Breaston all day baby! I’ve been on the Breaston band wagon since his punt return for a TD last year, kid is fast, mad jukes, and isn’t afraid to do his job in traffic or get the extra yards after the catch. I would go out on a limb and say he could start as 2nd receiver on ALMOST any team in the NFL. Yes we’re getting married in the fall, it will be an outdoor ceremony.

Breaston or Avery, nice question

- 10 wins will be a tough one to reach and it’ll likely come down to how well we play on the road in the division. I don’t think it’s too much to ask to get to 10 wins but they’ll have to play better away from Arizona.

- To give you an idea of our running game, we expect very little every single week. Hightower is edging (yea I meant to do that) his way into more carries. If anything he’s the guy to worry about but he’ll have to get more than 6 or 8 carries to have any significant impact.

- I’ll agree with Matty and say Breaston. Avery’s had a great past three games and he scares the heck out of me going against this secondary, but Breaston is really coming into his own. I’m sure we’d both pick our own guys and they’re games are pretty similar.

Thoughts on Whisenhunt?

Lack of a decent head coach has dogged your franchise forever. What are the local impressions of Whisenhunt? He came in with only an offensive coordinator’s pedigree, much like a Mike Martz, and I seem to remember some friction last year though I don’t remember specifically what it had to do with. Is he the guy, or can he be the guy, to take your team to a long playoff run?

Whiz

I believe he is inspiring to players and fans a like.

by badmatty53 on Oct 30, 2008 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm a Whiz-kid

Whiz has gone through his growing pains like any other young coach but he’s brought a mindset to this entire franchise that I haven’t seen in my lifetime: Winning is the only acceptable outcome. There are no more moral victories or tempered expectations. These players know what’s expected of them and they know they’re being held accountable. I hope he’s around here for an awful long time.

What's going to happen with Matt Leinart?

In the long run?

He’s just sitting there. Will they cut him eventually? Will he take over when Warner decides to quit after this year because he got so scared when Boldin got hurt? Is he their big ticket backup?

Whats….that deal?

Catherine whispered into my ear, her breath rich with faraway spices, that she desire to make love. She wanted to try shinshi shinshi. Now, I'd been begging her to try shinshi shinshi for months. She'd refused on the grounds that it was unclean. Finally, she was willing to accept her lover's body in places no one had ever trespassed. Specifically, the ear canal.

Matt

That’s a good question and frankly one that no one really knows how to answer. My opinion is that he won’t get cut, and he’ll eventually get his shot at starting again. I still think he can be a productive quarterback and he might be right now. He had a great off season and good preseason until the meltdown in Oakland. Warner’s supposedly looking for a 2 year contract extension so I’d guess he’s gotten over all the retirement talk. As long as Warner is putting up the crazy numbers that he is right now though, Matt’s just going to have to get comfortable with a clipboard in his hand.

Warner,

Please stay healthy!

dreadlocks

is it just me, or do the arizona cardinals have the most players with dreadlocks in the entire league?
is there an official count?

by PolancoMcEwing on Oct 30, 2008 5:31 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Dreads

Off the top of my head there’s Fitz, Hightower, Dockett and Green. I’m sure I missing one or two but surely five isn’t a record. Jacksonville has quite a few.

by cgolden on Oct 30, 2008 10:54 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes, but

we have Steven Jackson, the ultimate player with dreads!

Jax, Bell, Brown, Culberson, Wade

We’ve got our fair share.

run defense

the Cardinals don’t give up a lot of rushing yards, but it seems like maybe that’s because teams have had success passing against them this year. What’s your take on their defense?

by VanRam on Oct 31, 2008 9:01 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Run D

The run D has been ok, but they also haven’t been at full strength at any point this season. Gabe Watson (starting NT) fractured his knee cap in the offseason and he’s still not 100%. You do have a good point about some teams giving up on the running game b/c it was easier to pass. Their biggest problem recently has been poor tackling and the inability to stop big passing plays.

fan support

for years, it seemed like it took the fanbase in Arizona awhile to warm up to the Cardinals (losing does that, I will admit)…now you have a new stadium and are on the cusp of success, are the good people in the Desert ready to love their Birds in a big way?

side note – for many years in the 70’s and 80’s, my parents had season tickets to the Big Red when they played in the old Busch Stadium, so I watched what is now your team through many a losing season, but there were some good times as well (e.g., Don Coryell’s Cardiac Cards of the early 70’s). Despite what happened with them leaving St. Louis and all, I will never forget that team.
