Arizona Cardinals Fly Around the Rest of NFC West

The divisional opposition finished up their third week of the preseason last night when the Seahawks played a Monday night affair with the Chargers. The division has plenty of story lines to around:

San Francisco 49ers: It feels like quite a while since the Niners took the field and beat the Bears 37-30 but that's was happens when you play on Thursdays. They've had their share of news since then though with J.T. O'Sullivan being named the starting QB, they made their first round of cuts, they've got some special teams problems too and the race for starting receiver includes our very own Bryant Johnson.

St. Louis Rams: Rams fans are dancing in the streets because Steven Jackson is back in camp with a fat new contract and is getting game ready. Apparently just having Jackson on the sidelines awoke their offense from a two game coma as well because they looked sharp and beat the Ravens 24-10, with the first team doing most of the damage. They're trying to line up the depth chart behind Torry Holt and they've taken a look at Keenan Burton and Donnie Avery.

Seattle Seahawks: The biggest news in Seattle is injuries and they involve two of their best players in Matt Hasselbeck and Lofa Tatupa. Hasselbeck hasn't played since the first preseason game with a bad back and Tatupa was on crutches following an 18-17 loss to the Chargers last night.

This Division is a crap shoot with Seattle banged up...

but at this point I think the Cardinals have an edge on winning it.

Yep ,if somehow Tatupa and Hasselbeck can’t get healthy, that’s a much different team. If they have to rely on Charlie Frye or Seneca Wallace, it’ll be a long season for the Hawks.

Unfortunatly...

I missed all my drafts and the computer drafted Bryant Johnson on 2 of my teams. How do you think guys think he’ll do in SF? I’ve never really been a fan but haven’t heard much about him except he was injured for a bit.

Surely he’ll put up better numbers that he did as a #3 here so I don’t think 800 yards is too much to ask and 6 or 7 touchdowns. Those aren’t bad fantasy numbers if the rest of your team is solid.

Tatupu and Hass are fine

The have had minor injuries and were held out of preseason to let them heal up. The Seahawks will continue their walk over of the division.
