Is the Arizona Cardinals Pass Rush Better with Offseason Moves?
Posted: 19th March 2010 by Jack London in NFL
Let's make sure you focus on the right question here.
It's not: "Did the Cardinals make another stupid move?"
It's not: "Did Arizona pay too much money for an aging linebacker?"
We're going to focus on what the Cardinals have done to affect their ability to get to the quarterback.
Let's look at who the Cardinals had as their main pass rushers last season: Darnell Dockett, Calais Campbell, Chike Okeafor, Betrand Berry, and ...
Derek Anderson Vs. Charlie Whitehurst: Who Should Arizona Have Gone With?
Posted: 18th March 2010 by Jack London in NFL
Not exactly the two quarterbacks Cardinals fans had in mind when they thought about possible replacements for Kurt Warner.
Unfortunately, we can't speculate anymore. No more Donovan McNabb rumors. No rumors of Kurt Warner coming back. Or even us picking up Brett Favre.
Well, some things won't ever happen.

But don't ...
Go ahead. Pass the Kleenex around.á
There's going to be plenty of crying tonight in the Valley of the Sun.
As expected, Karlos Dansby and Antrel Rolle have signed with other teams:áDansby with the Dolphins, and Rolle with the Giants.
Both signed huge contracts, making them some of the highest-paid players at their positions. In fact, Rolle reportedly has signed the largest deal for a safety ever.á
But let's talk about this in ...
