Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears: Five Things To Watch For

How Lenon and Washington look playing together. Also looking for good things from Toler.

The Cards are poised to walk into into a playoff birth again this year with Mat Leinart at the helm. Coach Wiz has handled the lack of repect for his team with grace and humility. I believe he is mearly teaching Anderson a lesson that Leinart has already has learned. The head coach is the boss and be ready to perform at all times or you will ride the pine like Anquan Bolden did for three years after expressing displeasure with his contract and Coach Wiz’s play calling. Next weeks pre-season game will be another informal dress rehearsal for the players to prove to the coach that they have the temperment as well as the ability to make the coaches final cut. It will be as much a popularity contest as it will be a talent show. Coach Wiz wants to know “can we all just get along?” If the answer is yes, the rest of the NFC better be worried about the 2010-2011 Cardinals because they will be looking up at their record trying to vie for a playoff spot. I see very few flaws in the Cardinal’s lineup offense and defense so put your money down in Vegas to win big on the Cardinals success.

 The falcons are a little heavy in the WR ranks. They have a UFA out of UNLV that would be great as an outlet for Matt Leinart. The Falcons will try to keep him under wraps as a practice team receiver. If the Cardinals are smart they will make a trade for Ryan Wolfe (a So.Cal. guy) who will be a great teammate with glue for hands and a nose for the football. This kid is #12 all time receiver in Division 1 NCAA football and has always played both ways, despite being the star WR. He plays linebacker, defensive back , punt and kick returner, passer and QB as well as running back when the game is on the line. Ryan Wolfe is durable and has always become one of the greatest players at each level of competition despite being overlooked. He is the type of player that can make Matt Leinart look like a Fran Tarkington when he has to scramble out of the pocket when his protection breaks down. Wolfe can be picked up for a song and will pay the Cards back with dividends as a fan favorite. We need a reliable receiver to cover Matts rear end when its third and four or five. Wolfe is that that guy. Take a chance on a sure thing and your fans will call the coaching staff and scouts geniuses for doing the obvious. The falcons haven’t given this guy the time of day but refuse to cut him because they know his potential. Its too late for them to find a place on the roster for him because they are too deep in WRs but the Cards need a player just like him to put Leinart up on top where he will shine like a brand new penny. Warner had a couple of go to guys to bail him out, please make a trade for Ryan Wolfe and watch Leinart grow into his position.
