The goal of a defense is to stop the opposing team from advancing the ball, and ultimately from scoring. While the job of stopping the offense rests on the defense as a whole, it is up to specific individuals to make tackles on players. As is the case in all walks of life, some are […]
The lockout could cost the Arizona Cardinals a lot more than OTAs and mini camps. It could cost them a player. It’s starting to sound like the price the Philadelphia Eagles are seeking for Kevin Kolb may have changed thanks to all the free time on their hands. They believe they’re contenders in 2011 so, […]
While Calais Campbell may not be as household name, he is one of the most productive pass rushers in the NFL, and has been for the past three years. A recent study by profootballfocus.com discovered that Campbell was the 17th most efficient pass rusher last season and the 14th most efficient over the past three […]
With the lockout maybe, possibly and wishfully nearing an end, the time for teams to begin readying for the next season may be at hand. A few Cardinals, though, are tired of waiting around. They want to make sure everyone is ready to go. According to Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, veterans Adrian Wilson […]
The seemingly never ending search for the Cardinals quarterback didn’t have to happen. One year ago the team seemed content with their post-Warner QBs, with Matt Leinart, Derek Anderson, John Skelton and Max Hall all readying themselves for training camp. Then Leinart went and opened his mouth. “If he wouldn’t have held that little press […]
Most talk pertaining to the Arizona Cardinals quarterback position has come from people with no actual say in the matter (like us). Monday someone whose job security is directly connected to the move weighed in on the matter. Cards head coach Ken Whisenhunt joined the SiriusXM NFL Radio show the Blitz and had some interesting […]
It’s hard to believe that the Arizona Cardinals will be worse this year than they were last. If they are, something has gone horribly wrong (like them signing Derek Anderson part deux — we’re looking at you Marc Bulger). The notion of the Cards being bad if they acquire Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Kevin Kolb […]
The lockout may still be in full effect and the Arizona Cardinals still don’t have a quarterback, but that isn’t keeping one ESPN writer from saying they could be Super Bowl contenders. That writer is Jeffri Chadiha and he feels if the Cardinals can pull off a deal for Kevin Kolb they’ll be just as […]
Thanks to the current NFL lockout, many players coaches and others around football have an awful lot of free time on their hands that they are looking to fill.

The NFL lockout has dragged on so long even Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson, who previously said he would not join Twitter, finally gave in and started conversing with people 140 characters at a time.

While he may not be mentioned as often as Kyle Orton or Kevin Kolb, Marc Bulger has been thrown into the pool of potential quarterbacks the Cardinals may be looking to acquire for the 2011 season. Just when Bulger rumors began to heat up, ESPN’s John Clayton said that Bulger was content to be a […]
While NFL coaches are often in the news for football related activities, a couple of NFL coaches are making headlines for something entirely unrelated. Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and Houston Texans Head Coach Gary Kubiak will travel to the Persian Gulf to visit U.S. forces. For security reasons, there are not a lot […]
All the talk of where Kevin Kolb will end up kind of misses one key point. What if he’s not traded? Throughout the lockout Eagles coach Andy Reid has given little hint as to what he will actually do with his 26-year-old backup QB, though most people tend to think he’ll trade him now rather […]
Repairs to the roof of University of Phoenix Stadium are underway.

Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority spokesman Jamie […]
You can talk to Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald during the lockout, just don’t ask him about any specific players his team may acquire.

Sources have confirmed to ArizonaSports.com that Larry Fitzgerald will be on the field this July. Too bad it will be of the softball variety and not the football one.

Joey Porter’s stay in the desert could be a short one. After a disappointing 2010 season, the veteran linebacker may be cut by the Arizona Cardinals when the lockout is lifted. That’s because the price is right. As part of a piece on FoxSports.com, NFL Analyst Adam Caplan drops an interesting bit of information about […]
Safeties are a football team’s last line of defense. They are the last people standing between the offense and the end zone and are asked to do much more than tackle receivers and running backs who slip be cornerbacks and linebackers. Safeties are asked to read offenses, blitz quarterbacks, cover receivers and occasionally stop the […]
For many the name Kyle Orton has been nothing more than an after thought when it comes to the Cardinals quarterback search. While he may be a consolation prize to some, one ESPN analyst thinks he could be a great fit in Arizona. John Clayton, as part of a piece on underrated NFL players, said […]

The Arizona Cardinals’ Steve Breaston isn’t just someone who writes great poetry, he’s also one of the most underrated players in the NFL according to ESPN’s John Clayton.

Will the Philadelphia Eagles actually trade Kevin Kolb when the lockout is finally over? It’s a question that has floated around the Internet for the past few weeks after former Philly wideout Freddie Mitchell told the backup quarterback he couldn’t trust Andy Reid’s word. On Thursday Eagles president Joe Banner, according to Philadelphia Sports Daily, […]
Thanks to the NFL lockout, the Arizona Cardinals have been unable to acquire a quarterback and begin to familiarize him with their offense. Instead, the Cardinals have had plenty of time to weigh their options and to provide media and fans with enough gossip and rumors to keep high school girls happy. Carson Palmer is […]
Steve Breaston has a lot of free time on his hands thanks to the NFL lockout. While some players have taken to the Internet to openly admit they’re looking at the work stoppage like kids look at summer, as an extended vacation, the Arizona Cardinals’ wide receiver has turned to YouTube to let fans know […]
Although often overlooked, the offensive line may be the most important part of a football team. Without strong offensive line play a team’s offense is virtually ineffective. No matter how good a running back or quarterback may be, it is next to impossible to be effective on the ground, or through the air, if there […]
