Chargers @ Cardinals, preseason week 2

Chargers 17, Cardinals 6
Despite the score, which didn’t reflect the quality of the Cardinals’ defense, it was a fun game.  Anquan Boldin, the perpetually-underrated Leonard Pope, and Tim Hightower looked fabulous.  The 2nd string QB battle, to me, is still up the air.  Stat-wise, Brian St. Pierre and Matt Leinart were similar save for the INT by St. Pierre [...]

Tag, you’re it…

For the second straight year, the Cardinals have tagged LB Karlos Dansby with the team’s non-exclusive franchise player designation in the hopes of getting some sort of long-term contract agreement with him. This tag guarantees him nearly $9.7 million for the 2009 season.  While Dansby is allowed to speak with other teams, the Cards have the [...]

Cardinals’ linebackers coach Bill Davis has been promoted to defensive coordinator after the firing of former coordinator Clancy Pendergast earlier this month.
Seth Wickersham of ESPN the Magazine wrote a great article last week about the goings-on in Arizona. You can read the entire article at http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?id=3894167. Among his insights:

Pittsburgh 27, Arizona 23
Again, horrible officiating determines the outcome of an important game.  Arizona played beyond well-enough to win the game on both sides of the ball, yet the game goes to Pittsburgh because why would anyone want the Cardinals to beat the mighty Squealers, err Steelers?!
Kurt Warner had another spectacular outing, 31/43, 377 yds, [...]

WTG Arizona Cardinals….2008 NFC CHAMPIONS!!!!  Once they beat Atlanta and shut down Michael Turner, I knew that there’d be no stopping them, especially against the chronically overrated Donovan McNabb.
What a game by Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, and the Cardinals’ D!!!  After a scary 3rd quarter, the defense stepped it up again and put the icing on the [...]

Cardinals 29, 49ers 24
Holy cow, 20 penalties during this game….unbelievable.  This might be expected if the Broncos were playing the Raiders, but the Cards??
What a game, though, eh?!?  Most MNF games lately have been quite boring, but this was a definite nail biter!
First of all, I want to shout out a big THANKS to Kurt Warner, [...]

So Freaking Close

Cardinals 24, Panthers 27
Let me first say that Anquan Boldin is a maniac!! Wow, 1st game back after a serious facial injury/surgery and he caught 9 balls for 63 yds and 2 big TDs. But alas, as has been the case with the Cardinals this season, they can’t seem to close the deal on the [...]

3-0?? No. Week 3 Post Game Report

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, [...]

Difficult Dockett and the Draft

Posted by cardinal_chick

April 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment

With all the new and improved and extended contracts circulating in Arizona, DT Darnell Dockett wants a piece of the action.  Subsequent to LB Karlos Dansby’s signing his $8 million offer tender, with the expectation, according to Cardinals’ GM Rod Graves, of getting a long-term contract to Dansby, Dockett has been obviously absent from voluntary [...]
