If you believe everything you read, Reggie Brown would be the WR to pick up if DeSean Jackson does in fact end up missing Week 13 with a concussion. The way concussion awareness has escalated and been handled with increasing caution in the NFL this season, it is wise to expect Jackson to miss some time. It has been reported that it will be Brown that gets the start in ...

Matt Leinart, Cardinals Win Character in Loss

Posted: 30th November 2009 by Chris Farmer in NFL
No team wishes to suffer a loss, especially one as heart-wrenching as an 18-play, 99-yard drive that ends on a TD pass as time expires. But give credit where it is due; Vince Young and the Titans, perhaps the hottest team in football, outperformed the Cardinals by one play in a game no team deserved to lose. Typically, the refrain is, "We don't need moral victories; we need wins." For the Arizona ...

VY is clearly rejuvenated and playing with more confidence than ever in his young career. The team has changed ...

State of the Arizona Cardinals, as They Prepare for Titans

Posted: 27th November 2009 by Chris Farmer in NFL
Losing rookie backer Will Davis for 4-6 weeks is a blow to a defense. There is hope he can play again this season, as he was coming on strong with two sacks, twelve tackles and increased playing time. Now more than ever the Cardinals need Chike Okeafor to battle through his back issues and get back on the field. Though he has missed the last two games, he is still ...

Posted: 25th November 2009 by Chris Farmer in NFL
Week Eleven 12-4 Season prediction tally: 107-53 Thursday Green Bay at Detroit ùMatthew Stafford may have just begun his portfolio of legendary finishes, with the way he finished the game versus Cleveland. If he goes on to be a great QB, we will all be watching that highlight reel 10 years from now. Unfortunately for him, he separated his shoulder on the second to last play of the game before his touchdown ...

Arizona Cardinals’ Tim Hightower Is Quietly Having a Great Year

Posted: 23rd November 2009 by Chris Farmer in NFL
The knock on Tim Hightower last year was that he didn't have the big play ability that the Cardinals needed out of the running back position. That is exactly why Beanie Wells was drafted in the first round, everyone assumed. In his rookie season, despite compiling 10 rushing touchdowns, he only averaged 2.8 yards per carry. To many, this was all the proof they needed to rate Hightower a complimentary back ...

Cardinals Brace for Rams’ Steven Jackson

Posted: 20th November 2009 by Chris Farmer in NFL
In this weekend's game between Arizona and St. Louis, the focal point for the Cardinals will be containing Steven Jackson, who has averaged five yards per carry while topping 130 yards in each of his last three games, and is only 85 yards shy of going over 1,000 for the fifth straight season. If they can do that, stopping the Rams' passing game should be fairly easy. St. Louis has lost two ...

Arizona Cardinals’ Rookie Sensation Beanie Wells Is About to Go Off

Posted: 16th November 2009 by Chris Farmer in NFL
We've been waiting, and the moment has come. Beanie Wells has arrived. Wells is establishing himself not only as the most talented running back the Cardinals have seen since the long gone days of Hall of Fame nominee Ottis "O.J." Anderson, but also the final piece of their elaborate puzzle which could make Arizona a true contender for another Super Bowl run this year and beyond. Against the Seahawks in a game ...

Fantasy Reactions: Week 9 Still-in-Progress Report

Posted: 8th November 2009 by Chris Farmer in NFL
So the Fantasy uncertainty that hung over the Houston Texans this week has given way to some clarity. Some had Kevin Walter pegged as the recipient of Owen Daniels' touches, but let it be known that one guy who continually gets overlooked may have gotten at least two of those touches. Jacoby Jones has quietly had a solid year to date, and ended the day with a season high four ...
