Keith Placed On IR
Starting right tackle suffered hamstring, knee injuries; replacement TBD
Arizona Cardinals right tackle Brandon Keith out for season
Arizona Cardinals starting right tackle Brandon Keith is out for the season after suffering a torn right hamstring in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Keith played the rest of the game with the injury, which he initially didn't think was a serious. On Monday, he underwent an MRI that revealed a third-degree tear, the most severe, as well a torn piece of meniscus in his knee.

he dust has settled and the NFC West picture is a little clearer than it was prior to Sunday's division matchups. Rather than the possible three-way tie, the Seattle Seahawks now stand squarely atop the division as a result of their 36-18 victory over the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers' 23-20 overtime victory against the St. Louis Rams.

Arizona Cardinals fans now showing blind anger to coach Ken Whisenhunt
It's risky to judge a constituency by its most-vocal members. The majority of them don't shout or tweet, and the only message board they frequent is the one on the side of the family fridge. After four consecutive losses, Cardinals fans have gone from showing blind faith in coach Ken Whisenhunt (In Whiz We Trust) to blind anger (What is he thinking?). The loudest want apologies and answers on everything from the quarterback situation to the defensive coordinator's job security. They want Whisenhunt to open a vein during his news conferences, maybe spank a microphone. They want a future Coors Light commercial.
How I See It: NFC West Stock Watch - NFC West Blog - ESPN
Bill Davis, Cardinals defensive coordinator. The Cardinals have allowed 407, 507 and 490 yards in their past three games. They have allowed more points than any team in the league. They are missing tackles left and right. The defense appears to have no confidence, no killer instinct and poor fundamentals. Younger players such as Greg Toler and Calais Campbell appear to be regressing.

Brandon Keith played most of Sunday’s game with torn hamstring | ProFootballTalk
Lost in the Arizona Cardinals’ slide to 3-6 is the fact that starting right tackle Brandon Keith has been lost for the season. But Keith didn’t have a traumatic injury that resulted in a cart ride to the locker room. Instead, he tore a hamstring in the first quarter — and he finished the game.

A closer look at Donovan McNabb's contract - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN
When we last spoke, it was believed the Washington Redskins were on the hook for $40 million in guaranteed money to soon-to-be 34-year-old quarterback Donovan McNabb. As I wrote after his dismal performance in Monday's 59-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, that number seemed a little "ridiculous." Well, it turns out the Redskins haven't completely lost their mind when you look at the figures secured from the NFL Players Association by ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. If the Redskins decide to cut ties with McNabb following this season, they'd only be on the hook for $3.75 million. This had the makings of an Albert Haynesworth-type albatross when news broke Monday afternoon, but the actual figures make more sense in the light of day.

Expert NFL Picks, Week 11: Michael Vick Over New York Giants An Obvious Move - Desert Dirt - SB Nation Arizona
When Vegas sets the lines and establishes the spreads, they are looking at a lot of factors. There's obvious things like team record, starting quarterback, recent play ... but clearly, they are also seeing things not privy to the average bettor. For example, how did Vegas KNOW to set the line for the Stanford Cardinal at -5.5 over the ASU Sun Devils? It's almost as if they KNEW that with a four-point lead and less than two minutes remaining, the Cardinal running back would take a seat on his (gr)ass instead of punching in the touchdown that would have pushed Stanford over the spread.

McNabb’s agent says reports of $3.5 million guarantee are "erroneous" | ProFootballTalk
The uncertainty regarding the real value of Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb continues. And with the initial report of $40 million in guaranteed money reported by ESPN and the follow-up report of $3.5 million in guaranteed money reported by ESPN, it’s fitting that McNabb’s agent, Fletcher Smith, would tell ESPN 980 in D.C. that the report of only $3.5 million in guaranteed money is "erroneous."
