…here is where I would put the Week 7 Pre Game Report, but since the Cards are on a bye, I suppose I’ll have to fill the area with some “useful” information.
WR and punt blocking specialist Sean Morey earned NFL Special Teams Player of the Wweek honors for his OT heroics which gave the Cardinals a [...]

Just prior to the Bills-Cardinals game last week, when WR Steve Breaston’s was announced for the first time in his professional career, he didn’t emerge from the tunnel.  Instead, offensive coordinator Todd Haley found him on the field before the kickoff.  When Haley asked him why he didn’t make his entrance, he quietly replied (after trying not to [...]

…While Buffalo suffered its first loss.  San Francisco fell to New England as well, leaving the Cards atop the division by themselves.
Cardinals 41, Bills 17 (ouch)
Great game today!  Kurt Warner (glad I started him over Jay Cutler) added another 2 TDs and 250 yds to his impressive early-season total (and did you know that he [...]

Cardinals 17, Redskins 24
As is usually the case, the game boiled down to turnovers.  While Washington took the ball away twice - and scored 10 points as a result - the Cardinals D failed to manage a single one.
The officiating was suspect, but lately, what else is new?  On a 4th-and-1 in the 1st quarter, [...]

The Cardinals had another unspectacular preseason outing against an AFC West team, losing to the Denver Broncos 28-14 tonight; however, Arizona’s starters did well, with the Broncos scoring 18 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. 
Kurt Warner did get the start and went 4 of 4 for 48 yds in his almost one full quarter of play.  [...]

The Cards had a nice showing in Kansas City this evening, easily beating the Chiefs 27-17.
Kurt Warner got the start, as expected, for about a quarter-and-a-half, going 6-of-9 for 54 yds.  Matt Leinart replaced him midway through quarter 2, going 7-for-11, 62 yds, 1 TD.  Brian St. Pierre also passed for a TD.
Other positives were RB [...]

Halftime notes from the Cards’ 1st preseason game

Matt Leinart got the start, went 7 of 8 for 91 yds, and, again, is being hailed at “without a doubt, the team’s starter.”  Nothing like a premature decision, if you ask me.
For me anyway, the highlights of the first half were WR Steve Breaston and RB Tim Hightower.  Both are playing for starting positions: [...]

As the Cardinals approach their impending journey up the mountain to Flagstaff for training camp (which is all the buzz here in Flagstaff), there are 10 pressing questions (as eloquently presented by “official” Cardinals blogger Darren Urban.)
Allow me to summarize:
1.  The big QB controversy, Warner vs. Leinart (I’ll take Kurt, but Ken Whisenhunt appears to be [...]

There’s a new head athletic trainer in town.  Ex-Falcon assistant athletic trainer Tom Reed is now charged with the task of getting the Cards in top form for the season.
Rookies Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Calais Campbell are poised to contribute great things to Arizona’s 2008-9 season.  One area gaining significant attention is blocking opponents’ kicks.  The Cards [...]
