Boldin VS Fitzgerald 2010
- Boldin - 40 / 546 / 5
- Fitzgerald - 42 / 510 / 5
Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt has been impressed with what he’s seen from the Cards so far in minicamp -- which is a very good sign for quarterback Matt Leinart. The way Leinart plays will determine the team’s success in 2010, and Leinart seems to understand the level of expectations. Wednesday, he said, "People can say what they want about me, but I still haven't really proved anything yet. I haven't been out there, so I don't think you can make a fair judgment."
Leinart is right, and he seems to be in the right mindset to embark on the challenges that await him. His view implies he does not feel the entitlement of being a first-round pick, which means he’s receptive to the coaching he is receiving. I am not sure if Leinart can be successful, but I do know he was never going to achieve any success until he changed his work habits, his feeling of entitlement and his commitment.

List of available CBs
is this list even accurate? We need to jump on a CB right away!http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=12&yr=2010&nid=83&lnid=83&rc=16&pid=30
Derek Anderson to become a FA
It looks like he is finally getting released. Do we go after him? How hard?
Steeler backing core turned Cardinal

Well it might just end up with have the linebacking core of the Steelers from 2006 only a few years older and hopefully a few years more mature (Porter). Signs are pointing to Porter landing in AZ according to DDNN (Darnell Dockett News Network branch of OCNN). If Porter does sign and Foote comes in for a visit and the Card offer him a decent salary can Foote resist hooking back up with Haggans & Porter? I am calling my shot now, starting linebackers are as follows for 2010 Arizona Cardinals. OLB - Joey Porter, ILB Gerald Hayes, ILB Larry Foote, OLB Clark Haggans.
Question is whether or not they can all still bring it.
Baltimore no longer an option for Boldin?

We all realize that Boldin will most likely be shipped out of town. I for one am actually in favor of this move. Over the past two years my man crush on Boldin has diminished to a mere respect for the player and not necessarily the person. I realize Q has done much good in the community especially in FL but his actions towards teammates, staff, & coaches have been very disrespectful. There is no doubt that Q is one of the best WRs to play the game and in my mind the "real 81" no that guy in San Fran, or Phily, or Dallas, or Buffalo, or in Free Agency land. Q plays with great passion and bravado. He hits like a linebacker and has moves like an RB but he is getting old and has never been able to shed the injury bug. Turning 30 in the upcoming season for a physical WR with nagging injuries (same hamstring injury the last two pre-seasons among others, ankle, knee, hamstring again, not to mention face) is not too appealing for most teams when he wants big money.
Q did a disservice to himself as did Dockett when they signed extensions early in their careers. The early extensions were their own (coupled with their agents) decisions that gave them earl security but a low pay out over time. I mean think about it. had Boldin not taken the early money in his career for security he would be making around 5 million a year and Dockett probably around 4.5 a year. Anyways that’s not the point of the post, this is:
Interesting take on Leinart
I thought this was well written and addressed some serious concerns as well as looking at positives. I think the whole "Hollywood" thing has been inflated a LITTLE and that it is well past him.
Case to get our minds right and keep John Lott
by sc464 on Jan 28, 2010 8:06 PM EST
on Revenge of the Birds
Washington just fired their Strength & Conditioning guy yesterday. No doubt they will go after John Lott. Reportedly the Cards offered him something but it was so low that he got an agent (not a good sign). I have decided to take matter into my own hands and am going to write the man a personal lettter. I am going to hand write and hand address it so he know there was effort put into it. I have his address and if any of you would care to do the same let me know and send them to me and I will send them all together.
When I first thought of the idea I felt like a tool and ridiculous but I figure its like voting, if I do my part and it doesnt work out then I can complain, if not then I have to keep my mouth shut. I doubt something like this would not work for a player because the money stakes are so much higher but for a guy like JL it just might and its worth my 5 minutes to try.
Warner Retiring
He hasnt come out and said it but why else would he hold a press conference? You dont really hold a press conference to say you are going to continue to play,... unless you are Brett Favre.
What to do With Breen Bay
So its pretty much certain we will face the Packers in the first round of the playoffs. Yes I realize there are scenarios we can make it to the number 2 seed but there is about a 2% chance of the happening. Here then is my question: When we play the Packers next week do we even play our most important players? Do we play a very 'vanilla' scheme? You want to win the game for confidence sake but you also dont want to give away your hand. I think with Fitz being a little knicked up maybe he doesnt go out there. Or maybe just for a quarter, same goes for Warner. What about the nagging injury with G Hayes and Chike? Maybe give DRC (ankle/hand) and McFadden (ankle/hamy) the second half off? I think that in this game we give guys like R Johsons, Toler, W Davis, Doucet, and even Ketih, H Johnson, and Reggie Walker a good amount of playing time. After all deep in the playoffs you need a lot of depth. I know one game wont make much of a difference in their skill level. However it might in their confidence as well as instincts. It will also allow for a little rest for other players as well as less impactive injuries. On another note did Will Davis get any playing time yesterday?
What to do with Tumble & Fumble
These are the new nicknames for Wells & Hightower. I am growing tired of Wells falling over himself in the backfield and missing out on provided holes (obviously I am sick of his fumble but am using this to co-inside with the new nicknames). Hightowers fumbling problem is obviously not solved. Wells almost lost a ball even before his late game fumble. This is a little dramatic but I am thinking to make inactive both Wells & Hightower for next weeks game. During the week force them to carry a ball with them and literally beat the crap out of their arms and upper body trying to get them to loose the ball. By "giving them" the week off as inactives you allow time for them to heal up and for the obvious let it sink in that their fumbling is inexcusable. Means we face the Lions and Rams I think we could get away with it. I know LSH fumbled as well but that was his first (that i know of). Wright becomes the starting back. We would need to pick up somebodyoff a PS or as a FA. So it would go Wright, LSH & the new guy. What do you think?
Just another #81
Boldin was on Doug & Wolf this morning and when asked about his respect for Whiz he blows by Whiz as he talks of respect for everybody and says he and Whiz have a "working relationship". Click on the link, scroll to mid page, go to the right and click on the link to hear Boldin speak (you have to get through some charity stuff for about 60 seconds till it starts),
What are your thoughts? I am completely done with him and even though I doubt we can get a 1st rounder for him now unless he comes on REAL strong the second half of the year I want to trade him right after the season. I would be more than happy with a 2 & 3.
Editor's note: Thanks to our friends at KTAR, here's the audio from Q this morning.
lost his Edge
Looks like James may be done for good after Seattle recently cut him.
We had discussed having a Madden Tournament and the time has come. Here are the people that have asked to participate.

Everyone listed above are you still in or are you going yellow on us and backing out? If everyone listed above is still in thaen we need 1 more so who is it going to be? First one to post is in, second one to post is the first one in line to get a chance if someone backs out.
Also how do we want to do it? Have a couple different systems set up at one location? Play at various locations the individual games until a champ is decided? Let me know. My house would be open but we are in the process of buying another place and it should be full of boxes soon. Let me know how you want to do it. There is also the possibility of online but some of us dont have live (like me).
Arizona Cardinals Training Camp 8/10/09 updates and notes

I promised I would bring back notes for you guys after going up to camp so here are my thoughts in whatever random order:

FIRST FIGHT
From what I have heard the Cards had there first camp fight. Fitzgerald & DRC went at it yeterday afternoon on what was actually a run play. Some have speculated that it was a staged fight but our ever colorful color analyst Wolf said it was in no way staged in his mind. "I have been down on the ground with dirt in my mouth, blood in my mouth and spit it on the other person in fact, and that was no act". What do you guys think? As for me I love seeing it as long as they kiss and make up. Getting at each other makes you better and more competitive. If DRC stands up to Fitz he must be super dialed in!
FITZ & Kurt to get an ESPY?
According to Darren Urban Kurt Warner & Larry Fitzgerald are up for an ESPY award (FITZ for 2). FITZ is up for both Best NFL Player and Best Record Breaking Performance. Kurt is up for Best NFL Player as well. It will be a tough battle to win so go and vote on the provided link!
Warner Brothers Arizona Cardinals 2008 NFC Champions DVD
Has anyone already purchased this? Is it very good? I might get it as a Fathers Day present to myself (I dont even have kids yet).
Madden 2010 Tourny
Ok so I feel a little stupid suggesting this but oh well. I was online yesterday looking at Madden 2010 stuff and I got this crazy itch to play so I was thinking why not get some real football fans together. I for one dont have a lot of friends who are freaks about football like I am so I thought if you guys wanted we could have a Madden 2010 tournement once the game came out. What do you think?
Selvin Young
Any interest in signing the recently released Selvin Young? We could put him through training camp and keep either him or J Wright after.
James, LaBoy, Hood no longer Cardinals
What the???!!!! We could all see the release of James but Hood & LaBoy?? I do not like this at all. I think LaBoy was a good addition to our team & was still learning his new position. The Cards have to be EXTREMELY confident in Brown & Davis. Even if they are they both have to learn the position as well as the pro-level. I dont understand the release of Hood either. He is a DECENT #2 corner and they just release him?? I sure as heck hope this means they have already talked to a solid veteran LB & corner.
FITZ a cover boy!
Firts let me say the madden curse isnt real unless you still beleive that witches fly on broomsticks and have long pointy noses.
Second let me say,... WOOOHOOOOOOO, atta boy FITZ!
Strahan says "ZIP IT"!
I love that a well known (more so than Boldin?) player with several pro-bowls & a ring told Boldin to shut up about his trade talks. We need more of this in the sports world.
Jones-Drew in Red?
Ok I realize I have spent too much time imagining Cardinal stuff today but I am bored today and my clients are late showing for thier appointment. Maurice Jones-Drew wants a new deal and looks like he isnt that excited about coming back from running the Egyptian Pyramids to train with the team. Just a thought but what about a trade straight up Boldin for Jones-Drew? I would do that in a heartbeat even if we threw in a 4th round pick. We would need to get a (re)sign and trade deal done though. I realized its far fetched but can you imagine?!
Burress released - Boldin to NY?
Plaxico Burress has been released from the NY Football Giants due to his most recent off the field incident when he literally and figuritively shot himself in the foot. NY is going to need a receiver. With speculation Boldin could go to NY before the release of the great on the field bad, off the field receiver is that speculation going to rise?
Sundquist & McCreight interview
by sc464 on Mar 11, 2009 6:40 PM EDT
on Revenge of the Birds
According to Mike Jurecki the Cardinals interviewed Ted Sunkist (former Denver Broncos GM until the 2007 season) and TJ McCreight (former right hand man of Browns Phil Savage) to feel a vacant position in the front office. Sunkist went back to Denver the same day he interviewed but no know information is available about either interview. If the Cards were able to bring in Sunkist who was also previously a talent evaluator that would be huge for the team.
Cards talking to McFadden. Maybe others
Reports say that the cards have been and are talking to Bryant McFaddens agent (obviously this has been affected by the TO signing because its the same dirt bag agent). They also have Haggans and Berry, and Mike Leach on the radar. Hopefully we can get something done with all 4 very very soon.
