By RaisingZona on August 27th, 2008

I’m sure your first thought is, “I know who Len Pasquarelli is, but who is Matt Williamson and why do I care he is being mentioned in this blog?” Well Len Pasquarelli of ESPN and Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. are the only two of 16 “experts” who made their NFL predictions on ESPN.com today.  Both [...]

Just Kidding


By RaisingZona on August 26th, 2008

Well, apparently Ken Whisenhunt didn’t say Warner was the starter for opening day.  At least that’s the spin he’s putting on it now.  He said he doesn’t know where ESPN got their information.  He stated the reports were erroneous.  Ok, I guess ESPN is now a bunch of liars?  I love the spin coaches put [...]

What constitutes being a bust?


By Vince Marotta on August 26th, 2008

If there's such a thing as a big preseason game in the NFL, Saturday was it for Matt Leinart. With a chance to firmly grasp the starting quarterback job for the Arizona Cardinals, Leinart didn't deliver. He completed just four of 12 passes, threw three interceptions, and registered a quarterback rating of 2.8. Reports started [...]

I was wrong, Kurt Warner should be the Cardinals starter


By Greg Esposito on August 25th, 2008

I was wrong, Kurt Warner should be the Cardinals starter. That's not only what Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt should say, but it's what I've had to admit around the office all day. Last week I spent time and energy championing Matt Leinart as the answer to the Cardinals' quarterback question. [...]

Leinart’s Fate Sealed Well Before Training Camp


By RaisingZona on August 25th, 2008

Much has been written, talked about, and mulled over in sports bars this off-season about who the starting Cardinals quarterback should be. It’s been really one of only two public competitions taking place in Cardinals Camp, the other being the third receiver spot. The competition though may have come to an end, at [...]

Report: Kurt Warner to be Named Starting Quarterback


By RaisingZona on August 24th, 2008

Well, that didn’t take long. ESPN.com is reporting that Kurt Warner will be named the starting quarterback for your Arizona Cardinals over third year quarterback Matt Leinart. I’m not so as much surprised by the decision as I am the timing.  I really thought coach Ken Whisenhunt would let Leinart try to redeem himself in the first [...]

Tim Hightower and J.J. Arrington each ran for 3rd quarter touchdowns, and the Arizona Cardinals shook off a sloppy first half in a 24-0 preseason win over the Oakland Raiders at McAfee Coliseum. The Cardinals led only 3-0 at halftime on a 24-yard field goal by Neil Rackers in the first quarter. Hightower capped a 68 [...]

Leinart Has Poor Showing, Cardinals Still Shutout the Raiders 24-0


By RaisingZona on August 23rd, 2008

The first half of tonight’s game more resembled a few friends getting together for a rumble in the park for some touch football rather than a couple of NFL teams getting together for a preseason football game.  Nevertheless, the Arizona Cardinals took over with strong running game in the second half and rushed their way [...]

By Vince Marotta on August 22nd, 2008

Today in San Francisco, 49ers head coach Mike Nolan made the announcement that J.T. O'Sullivan would be the starting QB for the season opener against the Cardinals on September 7th.

Cardinals to visit “Black Hole”


By Vince Marotta on August 22nd, 2008

Did you ever think you'd see an Al Davis team run the football 62% of the time? That's exactly what they've done through two weeks of the NFL preseason. But young Raiders' head coach Lane Kiffin wants to see his quarterbacks air it out this week, as the Silver and Black play host to the [...]

Boldin continues to talk to anyone who will listen


By Greg Esposito on August 21st, 2008

It was another day on the Anquan Boldin "Trade me because you don't respect me" tour and things just keep getting more unsettling. Today's tour stop was the Dan Patrick Show, and Anquan sounded as cantankerous as ever. As Patrick asked Boldin hard-hitting question after question, Anquan kept to his scorched earth policy. He recited every negative thing that [...]

The Saga Continues


By RaisingZona on August 20th, 2008

I can’t seem to shake this Anquan Boldin thing. You know about it. You might have heard on newsradio, or tv, or the newspaper, or the internet, or maybe your mother who doesn’t even pay attention to the NFL and says to you “Hey, what about Anquan Boldin?”, that he wants out [...]

Who is the poster boy for Phoenix pro sports?


By Vince Marotta on August 20th, 2008

I started thinking today about the Phoenix pro sports scene, and the amount of star power here in the Valley. We have 2 NBA MVPs, 2 Cy Young Award winner, 3 NBA Rookies of the Year, an NFL and Super Bowl MVP and a Heisman trophy winner all who now call Phoenix home. Just from a resume' standpoint, [...]

A solution for the Cardinals’ in the Boldin situation


By Vince Marotta on August 20th, 2008

The Anquan Boldin situation seems to be at a standstill. Boldin continues to badmouth everyone in the Cardinals' front office, and other employees who may have sat in on negotiation meetings. There is, however, no truth to the rumor that Boldin no longer talks to the guy who delivered sandwiches to said meeting--at least that's what the delivery [...]

Anquan Boldin should be more like Chad Johnson


By Greg Esposito on August 19th, 2008

chadboldin81908.jpg

I was going to pen (I guess type is the better term here because I haven't put pen to paper since college) yet another take on why the Anquan Boldin situation will distract the Cardinals, who is to blame (obviously Drew Rosenhaus) and how it could possibly send the Cardinals into another disappointing season [...]
