Shipp gone…

The Cards released RB Marcel Shipp earlier this week to make room on the roster for newly-signed C Jasper Harvey.  I have no doubt that Shipp will get picked up pretty quickly.  Pretty bad timing, if you ask me as Shipp’s birthday is Friday 8/8 (the same day as my younger daughter!!) 

As for the RB depth chart?  Well, Edgerrin James is still #1; however, beyond him, there are several guys battling for position.  Currently, 5th round draft pick Tim Hightower and Steve Baylark, who was on Arizona’s practice squad last season are battling for the 2nd spot.  And J.J. Arrington is right in the mix as well, on the final year of his rookie contract.  A good friend of Shipp’s, he was sad to see him go; as was Ken Whisenhunt who said, “It’s one of the toughest things I ever had to do.”

The Cardinals’ first preseason game is this Thursday night 8/7, when they host the New Orleans Saints.  I know for a fact there are tickets available, as my ex-husband is going to the game because he couldn’t sell his (I wanted to go as well, but wasn’t invited.  Hmmmpphhhhh.)  Due to the game, there will be no Flagstaff training camp Wed-Sat; however, practice is set to resume up here in the mountains on Sunday 8/11.
