Arizona Cardinals Weekly Flock

After quite a bit of speculation to the contrary, Anquan Boldin did not return to OTA's yesterday and has not made contact with the team since firing his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
Pro Football Weekly has a couple of interesting notes and the first revolves around Antrel Rolle and the nickel corner spot. According to them, Rolle could be the primary nickel corner with Rashad Johson moving into the free safety spot. They also suggest that the staff would like to see Gabe Watson, who reportedly weighed in at 332 in mid-May, get his weight down into the 320's
Darren Urban details the 'punt catch' competition between the offense and defense yesterday, including a diving catch by Lyle Sendlein.
Matt Leinart was recently on with Xtra Sports 910 with Bickley and Jurecki where he talked about his mindset heading into this season and how hard it is to just stand on the sidelines.
The Sporting News lists the ten best moves of the NFL off season and Warner's decision to stay in Arizona comes in 9th.
SI.com lists the Cardinals backfield (QB and RB's) as the 13th best in the league but doesn't really have glowing things to say about the group.
ESPN released their first power rankings of the off season and the Cardinals showed up with at 9th, with a high vote of 5th and a low vote of 16th.
ESPN also lists the top five running backs who are candidates for a breakout season and although Chris Wells doesn't make the top five, he gets a mention as one of the 'next five' candidates.

Woooooooo

Now this is a great idea! Rolle moving to the nickel corner spot and Rashad starting at FS, this could improve our pass defense drastically. Now ofcourse this all depends on Rashad proving himself during training camp and the preseason so I shouldn’t start praising this rookie. With Rolle at the nickle position I see him picking off more passes and bringing a physical aspect to the corner position. If Rashad is what he was in college then opposing offenses are gonna have alot more trouble than last year passing against this improved secondary.
