With both the Cardinals and the 49ers fighting over who is the best of the worst in a poor division, one has to wonder what does either team have to play for- or rather, what does either team have...

College football is just around the corner.  With an eye on the 2011 draft, there are some key positions worth focusing in on and some outstanding players.  Here is a look at who I will want to...

I have a few concerns this year.  I hope I am wrong about them.  I listed them in order of concern. 1: 8-8 record.  I look around the west and don't see that much improvement in over...

OK, evey year I make my 53 predictions before camp and every year I change my mind somewhere before the end of preseason.  That disclaimer said, I thought I would throw out my predictions on the...

Now that some of the dust has settled from the draft and we all have had time to breath deeply for a few minutes, check out some info on the draftees, and think about it for a minute it is time to...

I have hesitated to share a thought because I wasn't sure how I felt about it but now that the draft is tomorrow I'd thought I would throw it out there.  A month or so ago I was reviewing a...

After reading the good summary on the home page of a traditional 3-4 I thought I would add a few thoughts on the ILB and the NT.  I think there are a few things to think about when looking at...

I know that the Cardinals are in the midst of a tightening run for the playoffs but I like to step back from time to time and look at the big picture.  Here is one forward glance at this off...

One of the upsides of some of the injuries on defense is that we have been able to see some of the younger back ups getting playing time.  It has been a mixed bag in my book.  I thought it might...

I was concerned about the Panthers game.  They are a talented team and should have a much better record, but Delhomme kept losing the games for them by his stupid mistakes.  The Panthers got...

The game against the Colts highlighted several weaknesses in the Cardinals personnel (i.e., OT, and the lack of pass rush by the OLB.), but it also highlighted a bigger question in my mind.  Who...

With college football starting I thought it might be useful to look at a few positions and college players that the Cards might be looking at in the 2010 draft.    Things could obviously change...

Matt Wilhelm was released by the Chargers (6'4" 245) and now is on the market.  He is a solid ILB in my book and would provide solid depth along with Hobson for the Cardinals.  Yet, with Camp...

With nothing much going on, and analysis of each Cardinal player occurring in detail, I though I would make some meaningless predictions. Here are my June predictions for what the team will look...

Arizona Cardinals' tight end Ben Patrick has been suspended for the first four games of the season for testing positive for Adderall. How will this effect his roster status?

The Denver Post is reporting that JJ was cut after failing a physical.  He had knee surgury in the off season.  With the drafting of Moreno, Denver had four well paid RB.  JJ, Moreno,...

I know it seems like nitpicking to analyze the 240th and 254th picks but in hindsight there are some questions that are worth raising, besides there is nothing else to do this time of year. Over...

The day before the 2009 draft I was completely, overwhelmingly, unflinchingly confident that the Cardinals would not draft any secondary. I would have bet money, (if I was a betting man), that...

With Gandy, Vallejo, R. Wells, Sendelin, Lutui, L. Brown, B. Keith, and H. Johnson all likely to make the final 53 (8 OL) what will the Cards do at Center? Will they sign Claxton just for depth...

Thank you mbn for taking the time to post the following.  ~~~Hawk Coach Davis has said he intends to implement more 3-4 principles in the defense this year.  If a more traditional 3-4 becomes...

Seems odd to be thinking about the final 53 when it isn't even May yet but that is what happens after the draft. Here is my best assessment. By my estimation there are 47 players that will be on...

The number one cardinal rule (excuse the pun) in the draft is to not reach for position.  This is especially true in the first round, but the principle is true all the way through the draft. ...

I was thinking about some of the holes the Cards are facing and how it is challenging to find enough quality in the free agency.  As I pondered some possible solutions I reallized that 15 pounds...

If we think about positions where a potential starter will be needed this year or next, it may give a clue as to where the Cards may spend some of thier early drafts.  Obviously RB, and likely...

Bumped from the Fanpost section, a very well thoughout breakdown of the Arizona Cardinals team needs heading into April's draft from one of ROTB's newest members. To me the question of the draft...

Signing McFadden was a great sign for the Cards.  They had a few holes they needed to address in the off season and the nickle corner was a big one.  The Draft prospects for this year at corner...
