G Reggie Wells was added to the injury report this week with a bad thumb but he practiced full and it shouldn’t be an issue.Otherwise the talk was about the Cards’ up-and-down offense (a full story coming later).
And there seems to be little argument that CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie needed to come up with the interception he had his hands on.— Fundamental problems plagued the offensive line. The Jaguars already have a system, and the Cards made sure they will have one too.The first practice of the week saw linebacker Chike Okeafor sitting out with a bad shoulder and receiver Steve Breaston still out with his balky knee. A healthy Boldin changes so many things.Here’s a quick post-practice update today, before the team (including myself) heads to the airport.
The coach didn’t seem overly concerned about either one, and said LB Chike Okeafor was “close” to playing Sunday but was eventually ruled out with the bad shoulder.— Whiz also said his players seemed to handle the terrible heat/humidity of Jacksonville.
He also said that, as an expert of growing up in the South and playing plenty of afternoon football in similar weather, the Jacksonville game may have been the worst he had ever been involved with.— He praised the offensive line, noting he had been angry with them last week and that maybe he needs to continue that approach (although he said it with a smile).— He said Beanie Wells can’t be a fumbler. Can they repeat that in Jacksonville?— If the Cards can really play defense like that, they’ll be in good shape. Boldin said the players simply have to get focused.
The Cards needed another defensive lineman. With Early Doucet (ribs) also ready, QB Kurt Warner should have his targets.That’s it for now. But Rolle will continue to work on his punt-catching issues. He knows he’s not there yet.More troubling is the fact LB Chike Okeafor sat again with a bad shoulder. As college football heads toward near-complete cancellation, the Cowboys' scouting process could get ... tricky - Cowboys 1st & 10: 'Uncharted Territory' For Future Of NFL Draft He called Boldin’s move to play “unselfish.”— The penalties have to be cleaned up. The play where Beanie Wells missed the handoff and Kurt Warner had to take the five-yard loss, Wells simply went too fast. © 2020 ARIZONA CARDINALS. It’s now clear why Lance Long made the team, because Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston were banged up.
WRs Anquan Boldin (hamstring) and Early Doucet (ribs) are still listed, but both practiced full, as did safety Antrel Rolle (quadricep).Coach Ken Whisenhunt just had his day-after presser, so before I head down to open locker room, here are some of the highlights:— Injury-wise, the Cards seem OK. T Levi Brown obviously hurt his ankle but he came back into the game. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. If they play like they can — and score points like they can — the Cards should be fine.Assuming WR Steve Breaston doesn’t have another game-day setback, he should be available, and there is no question in my mind Anquan Boldin looks much better than he was. It is a surprise to me, given how little Boldin has practiced, but with Breaston not playing, the Cards needed Q even more.The rest of the inactives: QB Brian St. Pierre, CB Greg Toler, LB Reggie Walker, T Herman Johnson, T Brandon Keith, WR Early Doucet and TE Dominique Byrd. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said he has a “lot less anxiety” about the receiver situation than he did a week ago, which makes sense. Their new style is now on video though, so teams will be better prepared. Steven William Breaston (born August 20, 1983) is a former American football wide receiver. Whisenhunt said he anticipated Okeafor doing some things tomorrow, so that could change the complexion, but if Okeafor can’t go tomorrow, it’ll be rough. Amari Cooper has high hopes for the Cowboys’ receiving corps with first-round pick CeeDee Lamb joining him and Michael Gallup this season. We’ll see if Wilson gets a fine or a suspension.What sticks with me more than anything else after the Cards’ disappointing season-opening loss was the TV shot of an animated Larry Fitzgerald talking to Kurt Warner in the huddle late in the first half. He was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft. But if Chike Okeafor can play like that and Darnell Dockett continues to be disruptive ad Calais Campbell (pictured below stuffing Frank Gore near the Niner goal line) plays like he is ready to make us forget Antonio Smith, that’s a start.— Beanie Wells showed some things after his messed-up first play, but if Tim Hightower can make plays out of the backfield catching the ball, that’s why Hightower will continue to start. Quarterback Kurt Warner was also added to the list this week with his shoulder issue, but he practiced fully and this seems to be more of a precautionary mention rather …
