Former University of Washington defensive end Everrett Thompson is expected to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals, according to his agent. Client Everette Thompson from the University of Washingtonian will be signing with the Arizona Cardinals today….good job Everette — Donte Robinson (@DRobinson_Elite) August 3, 2012 In his senior year with […]
Patrick Peterson earned a spot in the Pro Bowl as a rookie because of his punt returning abilities. Peterson scored four times — including once after fielding a punt at his own one-yard line — and became a player teams hesitated to kick the ball to. But with Peterson counted on to be the team’s […]
The Arizona Cardinals won’t take the field again before facing the New Orleans Saints Sunday in the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. After ten days of training camp the Cardinals have made strides on both sides of the ball, although coach Ken Whisenhunt knows the true test for the team will come on […]
For John Skelton, the quarterback competition at Arizona Cardinals camp hasn’t proved to be a distraction. “I don’t think it really crosses my mind too much,” Skelton told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug and Wolf Show Thursday. “It’s something where whether I was competing for a starting job or competing to be on the roster, I […]
There was a frenzy at the Arizona Cardinals training camp in Flagstaff on Thursday and it had nothing to do with the product practicing on the football field. Hundreds of women were swooning over the A-list celebrity that was amongst the crowd. “Magic Mike” star Channing Tatum made an appearance at camp to support his […]
The Arizona Cardinals have high expectations for O’Brien Schofield. Entering his third year out of Wisconsin, the linebacker knows the team needs him to become a consistently effective player. The 25-year-old wants the exact same thing for himself. “I really had to focus on what was important to me,” he told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug […]
For Arizona Cardinals veteran defensive end Vonnie Holliday, transitioning into the role of mentor hasn’t been easy, but it’s something he relishes. “My role is to educate, to teach, to bestow some of the knowledge that I’ve gathered over the past 15 years to the younger guys,” Holliday told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug and Wolf […]
As a proud graduate of Northern Arizona University I can assure you that these words have not once, in the history of the world, ever been spoken: “What happens at Lumberjack Stadium stays in Lumberjack Stadium.” It wasn’t a misplaced Vegas reference. Instead, Clark Haggans said it Wednesday night, trying to describe the intensity of […]
Most people believe that however the Arizona Cardinals’ QBs go this year, so will the team. The idea makes sense, but it’s wrong. While the QB position is indeed the most important position in sports, the Arizona Cardinals will be successful in 2012 for one very simple reason. Or, rather, 11 or so simple reasons […]
Cardinals camp continues in Flagstaff this week before they head to Canton, Ohio for the Hall of Fame Game on Sunday. As camp goes, so does the quarterback competition. Kevin Kolb says he not focused on winning the starting job; he’s just trying to perform the best he can. “I’m just trying to go out […]
Flagstaff, Ariz. — To a man, the Arizona Cardinals all say they cannot wait to play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. And no, it has nothing to do with “Bounty Gate”. The Cardinals have been practicing for a week now, and at this point are simply tired of seeing the same faces staring at […]
Disclaimers are something I’m not particularly fond of, but in certain situations they are imperative. This is one of those situations: evaluating the Cardinals night practice at Lumberjack Stadium without the aid of film and without the comfort of knowing the play call is a non sequitur, a logical fallacy. Having said this, the Cardinals […]
Flagstaff, Ariz. – Jeremy Bridges has been around the block, so to speak. The offensive lineman is about to enter his 10th NFL season, and does so having entered camp as the number one right tackle on the depth chart. The 32-year-old knows that isn’t really meant to last, but is perfectly fine with the […]
Flagstaff, Ariz. – An NFL team will keep 53 players on its active roster, along with a few more on the practice squad. Grabbing one of the coveted spots is tough, but doing so as a player who not one team thought was worth drafting in April can be even more challenging. That is the […]
Cardinals training camp in Flagstaff is in full swing, and the players have endured endless practices, film sessions and walk-throughs up to this point. Tempers start to flare in the second week, so you might even see a few fights, according to offensive tackle Daryn Colledge. “You know it’s just kind of getting to that […]
Flagstaff, Ariz. – Ryan Williams has been the star of training camp. Returning from a knee injury suffered last preseason, the running back has made play-after-play, day-after-day. The next step, of course, would be to play in a game, and he’ll have his first opportunity to do that Sunday in the Hall of Fame game. […]
Flagstaff, Ariz. — Eddie Elder is one of two Arizona State Sun Devils hoping to make the Arizona Cardinals roster as an undrafted rookie free agent. However, he’s the only one wearing No. 42. Elder, of course, knows the history of the number, as ASU legend Pat Tillman donned that jersey while in college before […]
The Arizona Cardinals have signed running back Thomas Clayton, according to pro football scout. Clayton was most recently with the Cleveland Browns in 2011, and rushed for 12 yards on eight carries. Clayton was originally drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round of the 2007 draft from Kansas State and has spent […]
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb is expected to sit out practice on Tuesday with a thigh contusion, but should return Wednesday and start on Sunday, head coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
The Arizona Cardinals running backs look promising for the upcoming season, but it's the immediate future that may have head coach Ken Whisenhunt a little worried.
There’s something very cool about having a fullback on a football team. The Cardinals have Anthony Sherman; he’s a rolling boulder with ears…and a brain. In the truest sense of the word, “fullback,” guys like Sherman have got know so much and then be capable of executing that knowledge. Other than the QB, nobody on […]
When the Arizona Cardinals drafted wideout Michael Floyd with the 13th overall pick in the first-round of this year’s draft, they surely had aspirations he’d come to camp and win a starting spot opposite franchise star Larry Fitzgerald. Luckily for the Cardinals, Floyd hasn’t entered camp with any sense of entitlement. In fact, the Notre […]
The Cardinals came out with their first official depth chart on Monday before afternoon practice, and it listed Kevin Kolb as the number one QB with John Skelton as the number two. After practice Skelton was asked about it the depth chart, and he didn’t seem to know or care much about it. “Yeah I […]
Patrick Peterson is not lacking for confidence. The second-year pro is coming off a rookie season where he reached the Pro Bowl as a kick returner, but is expected to become one of the NFL’s best cover-corners. He thinks he’s getting there. “I’m definitely taking strides towards being the best cornerback each and every day,” […]
Kevin Kolb was named the Cardinals’ starting quarterback for Sunday’s Hall of Fame Game, and he should take the field first as long as he’s healthy. For the first time this training camp, that idea may be called into question. Kolb left Monday’s practice early after taking a shot to the thigh from defensive lineman […]
Whether it be Kevin Kolb or John Skelton lining up under center, the Cardinals’ offense will be a force to be reckoned with. At least, that’s what we hope for. But as the Cardinals’ annual Red and White practice showed on Saturday, the offense embarrassed themselves in front of a record crowd of 14,500 fans. […]
The 2012 Arizona Cardinals certainly could be defined by their running game more than ever before, as long as their talented backs can stay healthy. In fact, the feeling early in camp is the team’s offense will rely heavily on the production from Beanie Wells, Ryan Williams and the extremely versatile LaRod Stephens-Howling. “We know […]
For what it’s worth, Kevin Kolb will be the Arizona Cardinals’ starting QB Sunday in the Hall of Fame Game. The Cardinals released their first depth chart of the preseason Monday, and Kolb is listed first, with challenger John Skelton his backup. Chances are the order is insignificant for now, as Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt […]
The Cardinals entered their 2012 training camp with 12 wide receivers, and based on last year’s depth chart that number will shrink down to seven when cuts must be made for the 53-man roster. While proven players Larry Fitzgerald, Early Doucet and Andre Roberts are expected to remain on the team and first-round pick Michael […]
