Ok fresh meat here just getting home from Flagstaff.  I watched morning and afternoon practices today (Wed 8/11).  I wanted to comment on a couple things I saw.  I will skip through pretty quick on the obvious players but here's my view.

Lienart clearly has a hold of the #1 spot at QB.  He was pretty much flawless and the team seems to be really behind him.  A lot of people in the stands were calling him KURT Lienart LOL!

Fitz, just incredible but what I noticed...where Matt went Larry went...hopefully a relationship that will show on the field.

9-0, in a word - INTENSE

Cambell, wow! this guy is going to have a break out year!

Gabe Watson- Looks incredible, never missed a beat.  I think he could start if Robinson is dropped (which I was not impressed with him) and obviously Williams looks raw but still has a 1 round presense that I'm sure we will see mid season after he comes along!

Sendelien- Very impressed with him, he keeps his hands up no holding and he's seems quicker and stronger.

Defensive front 7, first team and second string looked hard core and it was hard to tell who was in place of whom.  We are very deep and should have an incredible pass rush this year.

Pretty impressed with Andre Roberts and this Williams kid at WR. 

Hyphen, Beanie and Hightower looked good and I didn't see one dropped ball. Hyphen looks fast as hell.

Feely and Graham...incredible plus jumped in drills to fill wholes. I was very impressed with their skills all around.

CODY FREAKING BROWN...this guy is awesome.  He looks like a freak and seems to have taken on Porters persona.  I expect good things from this guy!

To the bad...

Not impressed with Stevie Baggs, seems undersized and seemed lost.  Maybe just a bad day?  Anyone notice he's severely pigeon toed or is he nursing an injury? Saw him play inside on a few plays so wonder if we are giving him a shot at ILB?

CB, other than DRC I was not impressed with this group at all.  Problem is the drills they are running are hands off basically so that could be why.

Skeletor, very very raw....did I say VERY (but has a cannon of an arm)

Anderson, serviceable back up but telegraphs passes and throws to many bad passes.

-any RB after the above mentioned....was not impressed with these guys and fully expect them to get cut.  Maybe Wright hangs on for special teams play and a back up plan.  FB's looked decent nothing to write home about.

Monty Biesel, he seemed lost and I saw him just wandering around a lot.  I know he was dropped from first team for Pogo(?)

Washington...didn't even notice him today? I was hoping I'd get to see him but maybe I did and he just didn't stand out.

Honerable mentions:

The freaking OL looks incredible and on run plays we look like the wall of china. 

Max Hall has potential.  Impressed with him and he makes good reads.  He did run into trouble when pocket would close and he lost vision (height issue),

All the WR seems sharp, these cuts will make some other team guaranteed.  Mougey is good too on par with Williams.

Kieth (OL) looks like a fortress that couldn't be moved.  He's quick and agile but strong as an OX.

Punt returns should be exciting this year, a lot of great skill and speed on display.

WHOSE ready for Saturday!!!!

Thanks for reading!

Here's the link! Glad to see him doing an interview and hear things from him and not what the media says.  I have high hopes for him and I think we will be just fine.  I like our recent changes to our line and we will see some great improvements in Matt's game!

What's everyone think? I know its this offseasons hot topic but really I care more about what our D does this off season!

Ok so superbowl is over? Draft is coming up! What are the current rumors out there for our boy Q?  I'm sure we will trade him with the onset of his hibrid successor Ducet!  Raven's look to be the most needy but Bengals could put a pitch in also....Lions, Brown, Chiefs, Raiders all have the needs and the pick to give.  I think Denver could be the biggest pushers though if they lose you know who? thoughts?

Ok folks looks like KW will be doing what we all thought he would and retire.  He will be greatly missed and valued as a key in turning our troubled franchise around.   That being said are we all ready for the Pittsburg evolution in the desert.  It has been three years in the making but it is here.

Lets not start harping on Matt folks.  Lets give him a fair chance.  He actually will have more weapons now with a seasoned RB game, several good OT prospects in our practice squad looking at changing our game, all the great WR etc etc....shore up the defense and we will look like Pittsburg come September.

Michael Vick to Cardinals anyone else seeing this RUMOR popping up?  I think it might be a nice pairing if it did.  It could be very interesting for both parties.  Vick would be able to come in with a great receiving core, awesome RB situation, and a fantastic coach.  Cards would get a real difference maker at the position if we lose Kurt Warner.  Vick would have a huge following here in AZ I'm sure.  Or is this just a total rumor with no substance?

I was curious if anyone knows how this huge OT prospect has been progressing?  Will we see him now that Gandy is gone?  He seems to have a lot of upside.  In the preseason many of the coaches and players spoke very highly of his abilities but he has yet to break into a game.  I know our O line had that streak going but this guy seemed to be a huge draft find late in the draft.  Any comments?
