For second-year players like Arizona Cardinals tight end Rob Housler, it’s a first time learning experience as well.

Cardinals rookie Lindley learning through OTAs

Taken with the 185th pick of the 2012 draft by the Arizona Cardinals, quarterback Ryan Lindley is doing everything he can to soak in information during OTAs. Highly praised by the media, Sports Illustrated’s Peter King predicted that Lindley will play by mid-season. While not going that far, ESPN’s Ron Jaworski said he thinks Lindley […]

Fatherhood new motivation for Cardinals LB O’Brien Schofield

O’Brien Schofield is smiling. Then again, he’s always smiling: on the field, off the field. But this smile is different. The Cardinals third-year linebacker was just congratulated on the birth of his son, eliciting a wide smile and the proverbial sparkle in the eyes. Judea Anthony Schofield was born a week ago Wednesday in the […]

Cardinals coach: ‘I want Kevin to be our quarterback’

In what has become a daily occurrence, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt was asked Thursday about how he’s splitting the reps between quarterbacks Kevin Kolb and John Skelton. As you are well aware, the two are in what Whisenhunt is calling a “competition” for the starting job, and as far as we know it will be […]

Cardinals assistant Russ Grimm ‘proud’ of his son

Russ Grimm is a lot of things. Super Bowl champion. Hall of Famer. Cardinals assistant head coach. But most importantly, he’s a father, a proud father. Grimm took a brief timeout from OTAs to travel back east to watch his son, Dylan, help Loyola University win it’s first-ever NCAA men’s lacrosse national championship. “It’s always […]

Cardinals Greg Toler ‘taking it one day at a time’

Greg Toler puts himself at about 85-percent. Not bad considering he’s nine months removed from tearing the ACL in his left knee and there are still two months before the start of training camp. Toler, who suffered the season-ending injury in the Cardinals third preseason game against the San Diego Chargers, was on the field […]

Kevin Kolb sporting new helmet at OTAs

By now, we all know that Kevin Kolb’s first year with the Arizona Cardinals was a frustrating one — not only for the quarterback himself, but also for fans and the entire organization. Kolb dealt with a turf toe injury that held him out of four games from late October until early December. Then, in […]

Cardinals DT Williams confident returning from injury

Just when it seemed as if Cardinals defensive tackle Dan Williams was starting to emerge, he was lost for the season. A first round pick out of Tennessee in 2010, Williams broke his left arm in a November loss to the 49ers. Williams is back on the field for OTAs now, and says he’s feeling […]

John Skelton knows his competition with Kevin Kolb leads to an interesting dynamic. Sure, he wants the starting QB job, but part of his audition for the role involves trying to help Kolb, too. Where else does a job applicant do his best to help his competition? “You might be training your replacement in another […]

First week of OTAs proved useful for Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals wrapped up their first week of OTAs Thursday, completing what head coach Ken Whisenhunt said was a good few days. The quarterbacks looked improved, the rookies looked talented and the veterans, even, were happy to be back on the field. After all, they didn’t have this opportunity last year. “I think people […]

Another running back joined Cardinals practice Wednesday. Ryan Williams, recovering from right knee surgery, was given the green light for limited activity. He spent a portion of the second day of OTAs in both team (receiving handoffs) and individual drills (working on footwork) before retreating back to the sideline to work with the training staff. […]

Floyd and Fitzgerald are already in sync for Cardinals

Larry Fitzgerald said he could not deny nor confirm allegations that rookie wideout Michael Floyd is staying with him these days. “He’s taken care of, from what I hear,” was all the Pro Bowler would say about how he may be helping Floyd off the field, but things are certainly different on it.

Cardinals RB Wells ‘confident’ after offseason knee surgery

Statistically, Beanie Wells had his best season last year as an Arizona Cardinal. He rushed for over a thousand yards (1,047) for the first time in his three- year NFL career, while his 10 touchdowns were one more than he scored in his first two seasons combined. And to think he did all that feeling […]

All eyes on quarterbacks as Cardinals begin OTAs

You can expect to hear a lot about the battle between Kevin Kolb and John Skelton over the next few months. Both quarterbacks have started for the Cardinals. Both quarterbacks have won games for the Cardinals. Both quarterbacks have potential. Neither quarterback is a proven commodity. Day 1 of OTAs is certainly no time to […]

Bad refs are a natural part of Arizona sports

Phoenix teams and their fans are no strangers to poor officiating. Many a time has a game, series or season turned on some questionable calls, which consistently seem to go against Arizona’s teams. Are we complaining too much when, in reality, our teams are just not better? Perhaps. But that doesn’t change the frustration of […]

Coach Whiz says there’s no early leader in Cardinals QB race

As it pertains to the Cardinals QB competition, only one thing is certain: Neither Richard Bartel nor Ryan Lindley will open the season under center. Unless, of course, disaster strikes, in which case the team may as well fold up shop because they aren’t winning much this year anyway. Assuming disaster does not strike, one […]
