Cardinals Resign Matt Ware


According to a league source, the Cardinals have agreed on a multiyear deal with safety Matt Ware. Ware is a versatile safety who played in 11 games with one start last season, finishing with 24 tackles and one interception. The six year NFL veteran will enter his fifth season with the Arizona Cardinals in 2010.

Personally I believe this is a step in the right direction. When Matt Ware was absent, it was fairly obvious our pass defense was hurting. While he isn't the flashiest player, he brings stability and experience to the secondary and should be routinely used in the rotation with A-Dub and Kerry Rhodes.

Poll
With the resigning of Matt Ware and the safety positions seemingly solidified, do you believe the Cardinals have done enough to improve their dismal pass defense from last year?
Yes, Peyton Manning is shaking in his Levi's.

He helps out in the 3 safety package

And the Defense was obviously worse when he got hurt. I’m glad to see him come back. But I don’t know about the pass defense yet, I’ll wait until the draft.

Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.

i doubt much will happen in the draft to improve the secondary

until at earliest round 3

Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

I meant as too drafting a Corner or Safety.

+1

If we’re going to run this defensive scheme we have to upgrade our OLB’s. Hopefully we already have.

Great news.

More yet needs to be done to improve the defense. So far we have only been replacing this seasons losses.

In addition to the need for a pass rush, we need to get some additional corner help

We’re one starter away from the secondary being very good.
The LB situation is still the biggest question mark.
