Outside linebacker Chike Okeafor has been battling a back injury the past few weeks had not practiced at all this week. Most of the players that were on the injury list at least got some practice in and are expected to play.

Update: Dockett was fined today $7500 for the elbow to Hasslebeck.

Arizona Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett is facing more backlash from an elbow that was pressed into Matt Hasselbeck's throat on Sunday. Tim Hasselbeck, Matt's brother who was also a quarterback in the league(For the Cardinals in 2007) had this to say:

"Let me tell you something, that was a dirty, cheap shot move by Darnell Dockett," Tim Hasselbeck told 710ESPN Seattle. "I don't care what he wants to say now. I've been on teams with good guys, and I've been on teams with bad guys -- bad guy. And, what he did was flat-out dirty and I hope the league fines him, and I hope they fine him heavily, because I think he deserves it."

A poll of 99 NFL players done a month ago by Sporting News asked who they thought the top 5 dirtiest players were. In order they went, 1. Richie Incognito, 2. Hines Ward, 3. Kevin Mawae, 4. Harvey Dahl, 5. Darnell Dockett. So far the league has yet to issue a fine Dockett's way.

I was looking around the blogs on here and I saw this. Thought I might as well post this as a late Veterans Day reflection of a great man who died too soon.

Dick Jauron Becomes First Head Coach to get Fired this Season

Dick Jauron Becomes First Head Coach to get Fired this Season

Jauron never lead his team to a winning season in the 3 and a half season he was head coach. His final record with the Bills was 24-33. This will most likely be his last head coaching job as he also failed as head coach of the Chicago Bears from 1999-2003 and as the interim coach of the Detroit Lions in 2005.

*Update*

According to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell will be the interim head coach for the team.

Boldin was on Doug & Wolf this morning and when asked about his respect for Whiz he blows by Whiz as he talks of respect for everybody and says he and Whiz have a "working relationship". Click on the link, scroll to mid page, go to the right and click on the link to hear Boldin speak (you have to get through some charity stuff for about 60 seconds till it starts),

What are your thoughts? I am completely done with him and even though I doubt we can get a 1st rounder for him now unless he comes on REAL strong the second half of the year I want to trade him right after the season. I would be more than happy with a 2 & 3.

Editor's note: Thanks to our friends at KTAR, here's the audio from Q this morning.

Vote for Beanie Wells for Rookie of the Week Again

Vote for Beanie Wells for Rookie of the Week Again

Wells has been nominated for rookie of the week at NFL.com again for his 85 yard, 2 touchdown performance on Sunday. His competition isn't very stiff, so he should have a better chance of winning this week.

Can anyone explain why Jay Cutler wears his helmet so low?

Can anyone explain why Jay Cutler wears his helmet so low?

I realize he may not be the smartest QB in the league, but I truly don't know how he can see like that. I check other game shots, he always wears it that low. Compare it to Peyton Manning or Warner

Boldin trade rumors resurface

Apparenlty Boldin was not too happy about how he was, or maybe wasn't, informed that he was inactive for the bears game. So the trade rumors surface again. Here is Whiz's response.

So any thoughts on where this is all going?

Whiz still has confidence in Leinart

Whiz still has confidence in Leinart

At least it looks like Whisenhunt wants Leinart to do well. And there is another article that says they were texting each other http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/KentSomers/67101 after the game so he will probably get some more mop up duty in games where we are blowing out out opponents [Rams/Lions].

There are also a few rants from HardHat that might be worth reading for a laugh.

Vote for Warner

2009-11-10T16:14:47Z

Vote for Warner

Kurt Warner is up for the FedEx Air Player of the Week.
His competition is Phillip Rivers and Big Ben. Both had nice games but not quite as good as the game Warner had.

While your there vote for Tennessee's Chris Johnson for the thumping he gave the 49ers in the ground game.

Nice to see this from Whiz.

It's probably gonna be cold in Chicago during the game, but that doesn't really bother me. I played in Pittsburgh for years so I'm used to the cold. We had a "no sleeve" rule in Pittsburgh so I think I'll be alright out there. But still, any time you spend outside in that type of cold is tough.

I'm personally a big fan of Greg Cosell, and his coaching notes, while short, usually help gives an insight in why a game went as it did.

Looks like James may be done for good after Seattle recently cut him.

Newest Arizona Cardinal: Jed Collins

Newest Arizona Cardinal: Jed Collins

The Arizona Cardinals filled their practice squad when they signed fullback Jed Collins, a former UDFA, who has spent time with the Chiefs, Eagles and Browns. As far as practice squad players go, he's a great guy to have around considering that he played fullback, tight end and linebacker in college (Washington State).
