With the selection of Patrick Peterson, the Cardinals immediately improved their defense with potentially the best player on the board. However, many pundits are scratching their heads with how a cornerback will improve the most important position and biggest question mark for the Cardinals in 2010, quarterback. ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd didn’t have those […]
Despite an obvious need at the position, the Arizona Cardinals did not draft a quarterback with their first-round pick. They might not even draft one with their second or third round picks, either. But does that worry Coach Ken Whisenhunt? Not at all. “It really goes all back to preparation,” Whisenhunt said as a guest […]
Usually it’s a coach that teaches players something about the game. For Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt it was a player that isn’t even on his roster that may have taught him the most valuable lesson of all. In 2007 Whisenhunt and the Cards were faced with a dilemma, either draft for need or […]
According to many pundits, the Arizona Cardinals got arguably the best player available when they selected Patrick Peterson number five overall. At the very least Peterson is regarded as a “sure thing” prospect, someone who will not be a bust and a waste of a high selection. Hell, just take a look at the very […]
There are more Arizona Cardinal quarterback rumors flying around right now than Mel Kiper Jr. hair jokes on Twitter. On Thursday reports had Marc Bulger being a lock to line up under center for the Cards come this fall (or whenever the season actually begins). If they have an ‘understanding’ someone should inform the rest […]
Patrick Peterson, the highly touted cornerback from LSU, is coming to the desert. Arizona Cardinals fans got exactly who they wanted. At least that’s what the fans at the place I was at said. Small sampling? Sure. But it was unanimous. Walking around the headquarters of Sports 620 KTAR’s 2011 NFL Draft Extravaganza Thursday evening […]
The Cardinals selected LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson Thursday with their first round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the fifth overall selection. Peterson had four interceptions and two kick returns for touchdowns in the 2010 season along with 42 tackles. The cornerback had seven interceptions and 135 total tackles in his three year career at […]
While the Arizona Cardinals are prepping for the NFL Draft and working towards making it back to the Super Bowl, the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee has been told by the NFL a Super Bowl may be returning soon. The committee was made aware of being a finalist on Thursday. The choice for the 2015 […]
There have been many names attached to the Arizona Cardinals and their number five pick over the past four months. On the day of the draft, ESPN Scouts Inc.’s Todd McShay drops in a name at the number five slot that we haven’t heard about during those four months. In McShay’s latest — and likely […]
As we get ever closer to the NFL draft speculation is running ramped. Will the Arizona Cardinals find their ‘quarterback of the future’? Will they address their need at linebacker or will they completely shock the league and take a wide receiver? While we won’t know the answers to those questions until draft day, we […]
The Cardinals may need a quarterback, but neither Merril Hoge nor John Clayton feel the Arizona Cardinals will find one in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Guests on Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug and Wolf Thursday, the ESPN analysts agreed on the idea that the Cardinals should look in a different direction with […]
Rumors about Marc Bulger coming to Arizona are nothing new. That there may already be a deal in place between the two parties? That’s something different. Len Pasquarelli of CBSSports says that may be the case. A lot of people in the league feel the Cardinals already have an understanding with pending free agent quarterback […]
The race for the Super Bowl begins with the NFL Draft on April 28, when rookies are selected to rejuvenate the rosters of their respective NFL franchises for the coming year. The Cardinals hold the fifth overall pick this year, looking to improve from a 5-11 record last season and build for the future. Here […]
Every NFL team has its share of hits and misses when it comes to the NFL Draft, and the Arizona Cardinals are no exception. We put together a list of some of the best and worst picks in the team’s history while in the Valley for your reading pleasure…or disdain. The Best Larry Fitzgerald: Drafted […]
The selection of Cam Newton early in the draft Thursday could effect the Cardinals greatly, even if he ends up in a Panthers uniform. With the combination of labor uncertainty and the Panthers holding their plans for the first overall pick so closely, this is one of the murkiest drafts to project in the history […]
The Arizona Cardinals have many options with the fifth overall selection: they could choose the potential shutdown corner Patrick Peterson, the possible future sack-master Von Miller or address the QB depth chart hole with one of the signal callers that may fall to them. Or they could take advantage of another team being enamored with […]
With the fifth pick in the NFL draft the Arizona Cardinals select … no one? It may sound odd but that could be the case come early Thursday evening. ESPN NFL analyst Adam Schefter on the Sports 620 KTAR’s Gambo and Ash show on Wednesday said the Cards could seriously consider trading down in the […]
The Cincinnati Bengals have made their pick, putting the Arizona Cardinals “on the clock.” From that point the team has 10 minutes to submit a name to the NFL that commissioner Roger Goodell will read, verifying the team’s selection and ending weeks of speculation. It’s also the culmination of months of preparation. “We’ve spent a […]
PHOENIX – The 2011 NFL Draft is only days away and all the speculation and mock drafts will become meaningless as teams will make their selections. Many people focus on what specific player each team will choose, but many don’t think about the process how teams decipher who they want to draft. It’s a complex […]
For months mock drafts have guessed how the NFL Draft will go. Now people have a chance to put their money where their mock is. Odds released by Bodog.com have the Carolina Panthers selecting Auburn QB Cam Newton with the No. 1 pick. Big shocker there. Many — if not all — signs point to […]
Rex Ryan was not a fan of Kerry Rhodes, at least, not while the safety was in a Jets uniform. Ryan was Rhodes’ coach for one season, in 2009, a year where the two certainly had their disagreements. In fact, Rhodes was benched late in the year, only to reclaim his starting job in time […]
The Arizona Cardinals have the fifth pick in the draft, and it is a certainty that there will be a few quarterbacks available when they pick. With a need for a signal caller, the choice would be easy – except for the fact that picking players, and especially quarterbacks, is hardly an exact science. Below […]
The lockout over, Kerry Rhodes returned to work Tuesday. Sort of. Rhodes was one of a handful of players who showed up at the Cardinals’ Tempe training facility Tuesday, though none of the players were allowed to do much of anything once there. He arrived at 10:15 a.m., spoke with reporters and went inside. He […]
A day after U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson lifted the lockout players are unsure what that exactly means. On Tuesday players throughout the league started showing up at their team facilities only to be told they wouldn’t be allowed to do “football activities.” The league issued a statement that called for players to be […]
ESPN legal analyst Roger Cossack said NFL owners may have a tough time appealing the Monday ruling to end the lockout because the eighth circuit of appeals would have to decide Judge Susan Nelson’s ruling was completely wrong. “This is one that’s really hard to predict,” Cossack said. “It depends on what panel you get, […]
From the moment U.S. Federal Judge Susan R. Nelson ordered an end to the NFL lockout, questions started to emerge. Are players now free agents? Can they all go back to work? What the hell is going on? ESPN legal analyst Roger Cossack joined Sports 620 KTAR’s Gambo and Ash Monday to shed a little […]
The NFL lockout has made it where there can be no direct contact made between players and coaches. While they may not admit it, some players might not see that as such a bad thing. Others are missing their coaches and time with the team. At least one player is anyway. Or that’s at least […]
This time next week the Cardinals’ quarterback situation might be a little more clear. They might have drafted a signal-caller high enough to give him the advantage in the race to be the team’s starter. Until then, the speculation continues. And the Marc Bulger train has picked up another passenger. “There’s a lot of question […]
Besides the QB talk, what has dominated any discussion about the Arizona Cardinals has been who they will select with the fifth pick in the draft next Thursday. Well, what if they don’t select anyone at all? The team could trade down, which is an idea general manager Rod Graves touched on Thursday. “I think […]
They say timing is everything, and the proverb could be used to describe how the Arizona Cardinals’ plan to rectify their void situation at quarterback. The Cardinals badly need a new one, and there are a few intriguing options expected to be available to them. And hey, what do you know, one could even be […]
