The Cardinals drafted the 21-year-old in the sixth round (177th overall) out of Presbyterian College. Bethel played cornerback for much of his time at the private […]

Cardinals DC Horton says D is off to better start this summer

Last season Ray Horton was a first-time defensive coordinator who did not have the chance to benefit from an offseason of learning his players and installing his scheme.

Cardinals LB Washington thriving in OTAs

Third-year Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington is growing…in more ways than one. The former TCU Horned Frog is getting more familiar with the defensive scheme employed by second-year coordinator Ray Horton thanks in part to the organized team activities (OTAs) taking place at the team’s training facility in Tempe.

Cardinals QB questions? Ask the QB coach

Is John McNulty aiming to reinvent the position of quarterback coach in the NFL? Uh, no. “I saw Donovan McNabb taking drops in the ocean waist-deep in Miami with a quarterback guru, you’d have to explain to me what that was,” McNulty smiled. You mean the Cardinals new QB coach hasn’t concocted a bunch of […]

Cardinals exploring joint workouts with Chiefs

The Arizona Cardinals will be in Kansas City on August 10 for a preseason match-up with the Chiefs and a week before that, they’ll be in nearby Canton, Ohio for the Hall of Fame game. So, presumably, it would be convenient for the team to stay in the Midwest for that week long period. According […]
