Arizona Cardinal of the Week: Week 10
The Arizona Cardinals started Sunday's game sporting a 1-3 record at home, a place where they heavily relied on a home field advantage the last two seasons. They all knew how important a win at home would be, for the team and the fans. Two Seahawk scores later and the Cardinals were already down 14-0 in the first half. At that point, most would have figured the Cardinals already had lost. Instead, they battled back and overcame their division rival to win with the final score 31-20. Here's the list of nominees for Cardinal of the week.
Beanie Wells: After an impressive performance against the Chicago Bears the week before, there were set expectations for the rookie heading into this game. Beanie surpassed them, and is showing why the Cardinals drafted him at 31st overall. Wells also performed well under pressure, scoring two touchdowns that essentially gave the Cardinals the win.
Kurt Warner: Warner tacked on another 300 yard game to his career total, and also added 2 more touchdowns to give him 200 for his career as well. The most important stat has to be ball security, in which Warner didn't turn the ball over once and wasn't sacked once. If we see this play from Kurt the remainder of the season, the Cardinals shouldn't have anymore problems winning at home.
Anquan Boldin: Anquan blasted head coach Ken Whisenhunt the week before, declaring that nobody was "man enough" to tell him he'd been deactivated. He responded by catching 8 passes for 105 yards on Sunday. Many of the catches came at critical times, and Boldin would've had a touchdown had he not been stopped short of the goal line in the first quarter.
Antrel Rolle: The Cardinals may have the best safety combination in the league, with Rolle at free safety and Wilson at strong. Rolle has been very dependable this year, not allowing any big plays, and also making interceptions when the Cardinals needed them. He's also turned into a capable tackler, leading the team with 9 on Sunday.
Clark Haggans: Statistically Haggans is having the best season of his career since the 2006 season when he had 9 total sacks. He registered two sacks in the win on Sunday, and leads the team with 4.5. Haggans also had 6 tackles in the win.
Nominating players for Cardinal of the week is always easy after another win, so let's hope the trend continues. As always, if you feel somebody should be added, just drop a comment below. Who did you vote for and why?

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

Tough to pick between Haggans or Rolle
But had to go with the constant pressure up front

Haggans helped a linebacker corps that was whiffing on tackles (Highsmith) and couldn’t line-up onside (Berry) most of the game.
We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

I'm going with Beanie
Someone needs to get the tag for his name working too.

No band-wagoner fans allowed, pick a team and stick with em, throughout the good and the bad.

It has before
I don’t know why it wasn’t know. They update them every now and then. Before, DRC or LSH wouldn’t work.

Maybe their names were spelled wrong?
I remember Larod being typed as Lerod on one post that mentioned him.

I voted for him...
as well-what the Cards have been lacking is a solid rushing game; with Hightower and Wells, they seem to have found it. Now, they can be considered very armed & legged, & dangerous!
But the coaching staff must give them opportunities to rush, as they continued to do in second half, even though behind in game. Kudos to them as well.
Fan since '76!

Went with Haggans
Good to see him performing since it’s looking like we’ll have him around next year.

would have voted for A. Wilson because...
that was first time to see a shuffle pass picked! Has that happened before? Got to have speed, quick wits, and great hands to do it. Wow, amazing, what a drive stopper that is!
