Arizona Cardinals Fly Around the Rest of the NFC West

Nfc_west_medium

The rest of the NFC West has completed the second round of preseason games and as position battles and roster considerations play themselves out, here's what is on the mind of the rest of the division:

49ers slaughters Packers 34-6: The Niners seem close to settling on a QB since JT O'Sullivan had a decent outing but the player making the most noise is rookie wideout Josh Morgan. Morgan a sixth round pick out of VA Tech has been making a name for himself through two games (9 receptions for 182 yards, 20.2 avg) and should be a name to remember come September 7th.

Seahawks come back to nip Bears 29-26 OT: The Seahawks feverishly fought back to win an exciting preseason game (if there is such a thing) in overtime against the Bears. The 'Hawks scored 17 points in the fourth behind the interception prone Charlie Frye and the surprisingly quick and powerful rookie Justin Forsett (15 carries 136 yards). Seattle's defense did a good job of blitzing the starting Bears' offense into submission and they take a look at a couple of the exotic blitzes.

Rams outlast Chargers 7-6: The Rams won a barn-burner of a game, but the real news in St. Louis is that Steven Jackson's holdout doesn't seem to be nearing an end and the head coach is now worried that it'll effect the regular season. They also added a couple of names to the injury list, although the biggest name is backup running back Brian Leonard (who will miss the rest of preseason). The actual game saw Bulger throw two picks in their first two drives but the defense bailed out a offense that was missing most of its stars.

yea I saw that article

I’d take anything that you read on PFT with a grain of salt unless it has a link to a reputable source in it, especially if he lists the story in his ‘rumor mill’ section (as this one is). Florio has a bad rep as a guy who throws as many rumors against the wall as possible until one sticks. He could be right but I highly doubt he’d have info like that when Somers or Urban don’t.

hmm I see where Florio got his report from though

It looks like Q did an interview with NFL.com and he said that he and Whiz ‘had no relationship.’ I’m guessing that Florio took that and ran with it.

Good Article man

Very informative. I think they need to lose Boldin and pick up another solid Lineman. We have absolutely no depth at Center right now and we are one injury away from having our season go down the drain at CB and OL. He’s always getting banged up anyways and there is just no reason to pay two receivers top dollar money when there are so many other holes.

Don't think our offense is ready to lose Q

We’re at least one year from being ready to not have Q as a weapon, though I completely agree that we need depth at center. Unfortunately it will be tough to get anyone who solid at this point due to the injuries around the league and the increase in value for good offensive lineman.

Shipp

Yea he’ll make some team happy. The Texans seem like a good and they could benefit from a veteran lockerroom presence like Shipp.

Shipp could make a name for himself

Texas is always having RB issues, this could be the right place for him to just stick it out, stay healthy and play a few good years as a number 2 if the cards play right. I think he’s better than Chris Brown. Ahman Green is awesome… when he plays.

It’s good to see Shipp move in to a position where he has the opportunity to produce on special teams and possibly offense.
