Kevin Kolb Injury: Arizona Cardinals QB May Sit Vs. Rams

When the St. Louis Rams travel to Arizona this week, they may not be facing Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb. The Cardinals' starter is dealing with a bout of turf toe. He suffered the injury in a loss this week to the Ravens.
Kolb was also sacked six times in that game, putting his season sack total at 25. The Cardinals traded a bevvy of draft picks for Kolb during the offseason, but forgot about filling in an offensive line in front of him. The results have been predictable, unlike the Rams' offensive line whose struggles are more inexplicable. The Cardinals do not know if Kolb will play this week.
Kolb or not, it looks like a good matchup for the Rams, based on what we saw against the Saints this week. Chris Long and Robert Quinn were dominant in the pass rush, something that translates favorably for this week's game against the Cardinals.
If Kolb cannot play, look for John Skelton to handle quarterback duties. If you remember, Skelton made his debut last season in week 13 against the Rams. He replaced a feckless Derek Anderson and an injured Max Hall in the fourth quarter of a 19-6 Rams' win.

Nice
But stop being so mean to Jay Cutler. If your knee is too sore to finish an NFL Playoff Game, at least you can climb the stairs to your favorite restaurant afterwards.
Why does everyone pick on poor Jay so much
I mean, it’s not like the team was depending on him for that playoff game or anything…. Oh wait.
Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.
Called it Kolb is garbage

AZ played the Ravens tough on Sunday. No way should we be walking in thinking Kolb is the only thing with which to be concerned
If Kolb does play, I hope Spags has our D pin their ears back, and blitzes on every down
Yea kolb didn't even have a good game against the Ravens.
I think AZ defense and ST is what was doing the job against this sunday.

Wells is the weapon, Kolb is the decoy
I’m just not sure the Whiz knows it

Wells is dealing with a nagging knee injury.
So they are going to try and limit his carries. Says he’s going to have to deal with the knee injury for the rest of the season, maybe even require off season surgery.

No cockiness this week...
we are still 1-6 and ill be damned if we still dont have a ton of work to do still. If i was in that locker room id be even hungrier than last week because Ive seen what kind of team we can be even with feeley starting the game.
Im hoping both the offense and the defense bring their lunch pail and play ball with the same level of intensity and fire that they did this week.
If anything can be learned from the Cardinals and hell even last nights monday night football game between the Chiefs and Chargers it is this. It is NOT over until the game clock hits 0:00.
Lets shock the world Rams.
Lets shock the world Rams.
Woo!
Play hard, play smart, no more stupid penalties, and KICK SOME ASS Rams!

No Doubt
Just like the saying goes ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, plus I’m def looking for more TD’s with Bradford and Lloyd hooking up for the first time. I seen a few plays where Feeley over through him and yes I know Lloyd also dropped some passes as well but def made up for it.
One more thought the Cards are 1-6 as well so desperation is there. Time to step up and put on the beat down and start building some confidence as well as show the talent we have.
Just a man who loves football

Lol I would think so but they had no choice
They needed a serviceable QB..
Sam Bradford + Alshon Jeffery = All other teams are screwed!!
too funny
If I’m. Not mistaken I believe feeley has the same amount of wins than kolb…with less starts?…we should have traded feeley for fitz haha…

Seems like most of them over on the SB blog for the Cards are willing to give him
a few years to develop in the offense. There are rumblings of regret though. Some of them are pissed that there are rookies around the league looking better than a 6 year vet haha

It's crazy.
They’ve got so many weapons over there, and Cam is taking advantage big time. To bad their defense sucks ass or they’d be winning a lot more games haha. Now if Cam can just keep improving as a passer, he could be a real stud.

doubtful
they are only a few players away from being a threat to the division, imo
kolb may not be the savior, but he’s not going to hold them back like some other post-warner options were

I think Skeleton could have a good game.
I liked what I saw out of him during PS, especially when he got the opportunity to play with the 1’s. Should be interesting to say the least.
I’ll be in there w/my Rams shirt & Cardinals hat; rooting for both teams. Yeah, my #1 & #2 fav teams face off twice a year.
