The 2012 version of Camp Cardinals begins soon, and over the course of roughly one month there will be 21 practices and three preseason games.

July 18, 2012: Q&A with linebackers coach Matt Raich The Cardinals hold their first practice of training camp in Flagstaff one week from today. And today, we conclude a two-day look at two of the team’s main positions—other than the obvious position of quarterback, heading into the 2012 season. Here now is a Q&A with […]
July 17, 2012: Q&A with tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens The Cardinals report to training camp in Flagstaff one week from today.

The Arizona Cardinals finished the 2011 season with an 8-8 record. However, that did not stop Evan Silva of Pro Football Talk, in his preseason power rankings, from putting the Cardinals 25th. There are only 32 teams in the NFL. Silva notes that while the Cardinals are fairly strong at wide receiver and have playmakers […]
This may be it for Kevin Kolb as a starting quarterback in the NFL. Acquired by the Arizona Cardinals before last season to be the team’s long-term answer, Kolb played in just nine games — finishing eight — and was very underwhelming when on the field. And whether Kolb is under pressure to stay healthy, […]
For all intents and purposes the offseason is over, as training camp is just around the corner with the regular season soon to follow. So, if there was ever a time to look back and grade how each team did, this is it, and it just so happens, Matt Williamson of ESPN.com did just that. […]
The Arizona Cardinals QB battle has not even really begun yet, but that has not stopped people from weighing in with their thoughts. You can count NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks among those with an opinion, though his may be worth a little more than some, since he broke down the film before coming to a conclusion. […]
The Fourth of July is upon us. This time of year fills me with an uneasiness that’s hard to describe. I love this country and enjoy the festivities of the Fourth like all true Americans, but while fire fills the night skies over our country and gunpowder drifts across our land, my heart begins to […]
The Arizona Cardinals have announced the dates for their 2012 training camp, which will once again be held at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. The team will report to the college campus on July 24, with practices beginning the following afternoon. The Cardinals will be away from Flagstaff the week of August 5, when they […]
The start time of five Cardinals games this season has changed. The NFL, in an effort to ensure TV viewers do not leave the end of one game to join another, has moved the kickoff time for Sunday late afternoon doubleheader games on both CBS and FOX from 4:15 ET to 4:25 ET. Start times […]
If you head to Flagstaff in late July or early August to watch the Arizona Cardinals during training camp in the cool pines, you’ll be seeing a lot of the Hyundai logo while you’re there. That’s because the Cardinals and Hyundai Motor America and the Valley Hyundai Dealers announced a comprehensive partnership deal Tuesday. The […]
Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald is more than happy to boast their receiving corps going into training camp. Fitzgerald faced a difficult season last year of double coverages due to a lack of a strong number two receiver, and he still managed 1,411 yards and eight touchdowns. “I’m really excited about our receiving corps,” Fitzgerald […]
Lost in the drama of the Kevin Kolb/John Skelton QB competition is sixth-round pick Ryan Lindley. No, Lindley is not in the competition, and chances are he won’t throw a single meaningful pass for the Cardinals this season. However, the former San Diego State Aztec told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug and Wolf watching the battle […]
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Clark Haggans reported to Westmoreland County Prison Wednesday morning to serve a nine-day sentence for a 2011 DUI arrest. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Haggans will serve a mandatory 48 hours, then will get work release for seven days. Haggans was arrested in April of 2011 in Maricopa County for speeding and […]
Earlier this week, Forbes Magazine published their list of the world’s one hundred highest-paid athletes. Their formula took into account base salary/winnings and endorsements. And using that formula, there was a couple of Phoenix athletes who figured into the list: pro golfer and former ASU Sun Devil Phil Mickelson (who ranked 7th on the list) […]
If there’s one thing the Kevin Kolb/John Skelton QB controversy has taught us, it’s that Arizona Cardinals fans are a fickle bunch. And, as someone who grew up a Cardinals fan and suffered the annual abuse that came with the jerseys and hats, it’s much better to be “fickle” than “non-existent”. When news came out […]
Heralded wideout Larry Fitzgerald has not only accrued on the field accolades being the franchise face of the Arizona Cardinals, but thanks to his salary and endorsements, also an enviable fortune. According to Forbes magazine, Fitzgerald placed No. 13 on the world’s 100 highest-paid athletes list. He nets $36.8 million in total earnings; $35.3 million […]
If you asked people which young player was going to breakout and become a star for the Arizona Cardinals, the names that would come up would be Patrick Peterson, Michael Floyd and Daryl Washington, among others. One name you likely wouldn’t hear — at least early in the conversation — is David Carter. The defensive […]
November 29, 2012: Rex Ryan the lastest in a long line to speak highly of the defense It started Week 1; and it’s continued each week thereafter: NFL head coaches praising the Cardinals defense when speaking to the local media on the weekly conference call. “They’re really a problem,” Pete Carroll said. “They’re impressive,” Joe […]
Rookie-only minicamp, OTAs and the two-a-day-practice minicamp are all officially over for the Arizona Cardinals. While most of the focus for the Cardinals this off-season has been on the quarterback battle between Kevin Kolb and John Skelton, third-year linebacker Daryl Washington knows just how crucial it was for the defense to get its first full […]
Did a Red Bird hear the boo birds? Yes. How ‘bout the emcee of the AZ Cardinals Fan Fest event? Did that guy get booed? Yes again. How do I know? Because I heard the former and I happen to be the latter. While roaming the stadium with a wireless microphone as the designated MC-dude, […]
Beanie Wells had a breakout season in 2011 for the Arizona Cardinals. The former first-round pick out of Ohio State ran for a career-high 1,047 yards on 245 carries in 14 games. He did a lot to dispel to the label that he couldn’t play through pain, too, often excelling despite being bothered by a […]
The next time we see the Arizona Cardinals they will be in Flagstaff for training camp. The team held its final practice Thursday afternoon in Tempe, putting a cap on a stretch that included a rookie- only minicamp, OTAs and now the two-a-day-practice minicamp. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt is sorry to see it all end. […]
I have a question for Cardinals fans: What did Kevin Kolb do deserve getting booed Wednesday night? We’re not talking about a game, and we’re not even really talking about a practice. We’re talking about a minicamp workout at Fan Fest! Kolb probably thought he was back at Lincoln Financial Field instead of University of […]
Kevin Kolb has work to do. No, not with his game, though he did misfire on his fair share of passes Wednesday night. Playing in front of fans for the first time since last season, Kolb overthrew Larry Fitzgerald on a deep ball, had a throw picked off by linebacker Reggie Walker in the end […]
More than 15,000 fans flooded to FanFest at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale Wednesday night to get the first public glimpse of the 2012 Arizona Cardinals. One of the more promising things they saw was second-year running back Ryan Williams participating in 11-on-11 drills for the first time since suffering a torn right patellar […]
At the first of two Arizona Cardinals minicamp practices Wednesday, John Skelton filled the role of first-team quarterback. Tuesday, it was Kevin Kolb running with the ones. The alternating between the two quarterbacks sharing first team reps has been a constant throughout the team’s OTAs and minicamp practices. The competition will continue throughout training camp […]
We are not the only ones interested to see how the Kevin Kolb versus John Skelton battle plays out. The two are expected to continue their competition for the team’s starting QB role all through training camp, with neither supposedly having an edge as of now. It’s a situation worth keeping an eye on, that’s […]
There’s one thing you can say about Arizona Cardinals rookie offensive guard Senio Kelemete: He’s patient. The fifth-round pick stayed in Seattle to finish up his degree in American Ethnic Studies at the University of Washington while the rest of his Cardinals teammates were going through OTAs in Tempe. It paid off. Kelemete became the […]
