The Cardinals and defensive end Darnell Dockett are ready for the Cowboys to come to town this weekend but they’re not ready for a history lesson… even if it’s a good one. When asked about the team’s recent success against Dallas, Dockett wanted none of it. “Doesn’t mean anything. Different team, different records, different atmosphere, […]
Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson leads the league in punt returns for touchdowns. Through Week 12 though, teams continue to kick it to him. “Guys have egos and pride,” Peterson said. “They may want to see it for themselves, so like I said if they kick it to me I just have to make them pay.” […]
The Arizona Cardinals are out of the playoff picture but they still have opportunities to disrupt other teams’ playoff hopes. Starting with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. “They’re a good football team, it’s defintely going to be a challenge but we’re excited about being at home,” head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “It will be a […]
Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb announced that he expects to start against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Sidelined the past four weeks with a turf toe injury, Kolb returns to the playing field with expectations as high as ever. Arizona Sports 620’s Ron Wolfley said that he will be watching the QB over the final month […]
PHOENIX – Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb expects to return to the field on Sunday against the Cowboys. “I feel really good. It was good to get back in the action. Obviously, we’ll see tomorrow how it feels after a full day like that, but I have full intention of playing,” said Kolb after going […]
PHOENIX – The Dallas Cowboys may be the clear favorites when they invade University of Phoenix stadium to take on the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but that doesn’t mean they are overlooking their opponent this week. “They played awfully well as of late winning three of the last four. All you have to do is […]
Being from Dallas, of course Sam Acho is a Cowboys fan. Or at least, was a Cowboys fan. “Growing up I was a Cowboys fan. As I got a little older I wised up,” he said with a laugh. Acho and his new favorite team, the Arizona Cardinals, host his former favorite team Sunday at […]
PHOENIX – Many names have already been thrown out as potential head coach candidates for the ASU job, but Cardinals running back Beanie Wells believes his former coach Jim Tressel would be a good fit in Tempe. “If I was ASU, I would jump on him immediately. He’s a good football coach and would work […]
Darnell Dockett is a defensive lineman in his eighth NFL season, and to say the Pro Bowler knows a thing or two about what goes on in the trenches would be an understatement. So it should come as no surprise that the vocal captain had a thought on what transpired in Detroit on Thanksgiving, when […]
For the second time this season, Arizona Cardinals’ rookie Patrick Peterson has won the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week Award. Peterson returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown in the Cardinals’ 23-20 win over the St. Louis Rams last Sunday. It was his fourth punt return for a touchdown this season, which […]
Sure, Beanie Wells deserves credit for setting a franchise record with 228 yards rushing Sunday in St. Louis, but according to ProFootballFocus.com, he had some help along the way. Specifically from left guard Daryn Colledge. Colledge, who left the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers to sign with the Cardinals before the season, has had […]
Patrick Peterson has made a name for himself as a punt returner, as he’s taken four kicks back for touchdowns in just 11 games as a pro. However, he was drafted fifth overall because of his cover skills, and the fact that he has yet to really show them can be a little concerning. According […]

After missing the past two weeks due to a hamstring injury he has been battling all season, Todd Heap was back on the field Sunday for the Cardinals 23-20 victory over the St. Louis Rams. Heap told Arizona Sports 620’s Burns and Gambo he had difficulty running in the open field and turning on an […]
This Arizona Cardinal has done it four times this season, each time over 80 yards and he currently leads the NFL with 558 total yards. The player is Patrick Peterson and the name of the game is punt returns. Peterson returned his fourth punt for a touchdown Sunday against the Rams, tying an NFL record […]
Kevin Kolb’s return could be at hand. Out since Week 8 after suffering a turf toe injury, the QB – – who was close to playing Sunday in St. Louis — may finally be ready to get back on the field. “I think that we’re certainly more optimistic about him being able to go this […]
Suddenly, the Arizona Cardinals have a pass rush. The Cardinals have collected eight sacks over the last four games, with rookie Sam Acho being responsible for three of them. The former Texas Longhorn has five sacks on the season, and is looking more and more like a guy who can be a longterm answer at […]
It’s taken three years, but Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells is beginning to evolve into the talent fans were hoping. Wells continued his career season Sunday with a 228 yard rushing performance against the Rams, besting LeShon Johnson’s previous record of 214 yards set back in 1996 against New Orleans. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt […]
Patrick Peterson did it again. The rookie from LSU returned a punt off of the foot of St. Louis Rams punter Donnie Jones 80 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter of the Cardinals’ 23-20 win on Sunday. It was the 2nd time in the last four games that Peterson returned a punt for […]

Jay Feely connected on a 22-yard field goal with […]
You never want to see your starting quarterback get injured, but perhaps some time on the sidelines is just what Kevin Kolb needs to turn his season around. That is what ESPN football analyst Ron Jaworski thought when he joined Arizona Sports 620’s Burns and Gambo. “I do think there is a little bit of […]
As Kevin Kolb’s turf toe injury continues to improve, the quarterback gets more anxious to be back out on the playing field. “Today was like Christmas and even Whiz said ‘hey you better settle yourself down,’ because he could tell I was excited,” Kolb said. Kolb suffered an inury to his toe during the 30-27 […]
It wasn’t hard to see why head coach Ken Whisenhunt benched QB John Skelton on Sunday. The second year player threw for 99 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions, which earned him the third worst QB rating in Cardinals history. Though Skelton didn’t exactly have a dream day, ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski sees a bright […]
There was a perception of Matt Leinart during his time in Arizona that he didn’t really care about being great, that he was somewhat lazy and unmotivated. Released by the team just before the 2010 season, Leinart signed with the Houston Texans — and re-signed with them in the offseason — and is now set […]
Sunday’s 23-7 loss to the San Fransisco 49ers was a quick, swift kick back to reality for the Arizona Cardinals. During the Cardinals six-game losing streak head coach Ken Whisenhunt stressed giving the players time to learn the new schemes. He said it was difficult for a new quarterback to learn a new system. The […]
What does completing 6 of 19 passes for 99 yards and three interceptions lead to? Well, besides a benching and a loss, a QB rating of 10.5. It’s as bad as it sounds. To be fair to Skelton, it’s not the lowest QB rating in NFL history. According to Wikipedia, as recently as 2007 Atlanta’s […]
Every loss is a tough pill to swallow. The Arizona Cardinals dropped their seventh game of the season Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, losing 23- 7. What makes it worse is the Cardinals, after rolling off two straight wins, finally looked like a team that was ready to turn the corner. Then came Sunday, […]
And they’re back. The sloppy, mistake-ridden Cardinals fans have become used to watching on Sundays have returned. The team that racked up two straight wins seemed to be M.I.A. Sunday against the 49ers. The Cardinals had five turnovers, allowed 431 yards of offense, only had the ball for just over 15 minutes the whole game […]
John Skelton’s Sunday did not go as planned. The second-year pro, who had won his previous two starts, completed just 6 of 19 passes for 99 yards and three interceptions in the team’s 23-7 loss to the 49ers, and was pulled from the game in the fourth quarter. A step back in his progression? Hard […]
