To make matters worse, the front seven took a big hit with the departure of Karlos Dansby. The front office has worked to add a few pieces to this unit, but there are still several needs at various positions. Andy Bishop explains. http://ari.scout.com/2/959652.html 2047 Andy Bishop http://ari.scout.com/2/959652.html Tue, 06 Apr 2010 03:12:00 GMT 1 126 Arizona ari The Arizona Cardinals had a lot of work to do in the 2007 NFL Draft. It was Ken Whisenhunt's first draft as a head coach, and he wanted to get it done right. Many of his picks have played major roles, others are waiting their turn and some need a little help to get there. http://ari.scout.com/2/940900.html 2047 Amberly Dressler http://ari.scout.com/2/940900.html Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:09:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari DE Brandon Graham's motor and talent has impressed at the Senior Bowl this week. He credits a lot of his skill to an ex-Wolverine. But he's avoided picking up a bad habit or two from his former teammate, Arizona DT Alan Branch. A Graham addition to the Cardinals roster would erase a whole lot of question marks. AZRedReport.com caught up with Graham to talk Branch, Gabe Watson and more. http://ari.scout.com/2/941825.html 2047 Amberly Dressler http://ari.scout.com/2/941825.html Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:34:00 GMT 1 126 Arizona ari Now that the regular season has come to a close, the time has come to hand out the individual awards for each player’s performance. The categories have been broken down into two parts. Next week brings the Best of 09 Awards. This week we get started with the worst. Who were the biggest disappoints of this season? Tyson Qualls brings down harsh judgment on the players in need of improvement. http://ari.scout.com/2/936385.html 2047 Tyson Qualls http://ari.scout.com/2/936385.html Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:42:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari In three years as head coach, Ken Whisenhunt has proven to have a good feel for the mood of his team. He's been a disciplinarian when he's needed to be, such as last season when he put the team through padded practices at Christmas time. And he's backed off at the right time, such as this season when he gave his team an extra day off over the holidays... http://ari.scout.com/2/934818.html 2047 The Sports Xchange http://ari.scout.com/2/934818.html Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:27:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari The Cardinals must rely on the health of some older players in key positions for the final four games of the regular season and into the playoffs. The most obvious is 38-year-old quarterback Kurt Warner, who missed a game earlier this season because of a concussion. But there are some lesser-known players who play important roles. http://ari.scout.com/2/928931.html 2047 The Sports Xchange http://ari.scout.com/2/928931.html Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:43:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari The Cardinals probably will say all the right things this week, about respecting the 49ers, about how the 49ers play them as well as anyone. That all might be true, but it's also true the Cardinals have pointed to this game since losing to the 49ers in the season opener. http://ari.scout.com/2/927835.html 2047 The Sports Xchange http://ari.scout.com/2/927835.html Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:46:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari The Cardinals defense is coming off its best consecutive performances in years, and coach Ken Whisenhunt traces it back to a goal-line stand against Houston on Oct. 11. Whisenhunt believes stopping the Texans inside the 5-yard line bolstered the unit's confidence. http://ari.scout.com/2/913434.html 2047 Scout.com http://ari.scout.com/2/913434.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:49:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari The Cardinals played one of their best defensive games of the past few seasons Sunday in defeating the Seahawks 27-3. They'll need to repeat that type of performance to have a chance of upsetting the Giants in New Jersey. Before last Sunday, the Cardinals' defense had trouble playing well for an entire game. http://ari.scout.com/2/910760.html 2047 Scout.com http://ari.scout.com/2/910760.html Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:21:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari The Arizona Cardinals lack of run game is still a problem to fix, but the key concept going into Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks is to protect Kurt Warner and take the division win. http://ari.scout.com/2/909578.html 2047 Scout.com http://ari.scout.com/2/909578.html Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:57:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari Coach Ken Whisenhunt took the blame for the Cardinals having only four rushing attempts in the second half Sunday against the Texans, even though they led 21-0 at halftime. The Cardinals had enjoyed considerable success throwing in the first half, so Whisenhunt didn't want to become conservative. http://ari.scout.com/2/908691.html 2047 Scout.com http://ari.scout.com/2/908691.html Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:32:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari The Cardinals say all the right things about wanting to run the ball, but when given the opportunity to prove it, they usually pass. That's what happened against the Texans. Ahead 21-0 at halftime, the Cardinals stuck with the pass, running the ball just four times in the second half. http://ari.scout.com/2/908334.html 2047 Scout.com http://ari.scout.com/2/908334.html Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:48:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari It's early in the season to call any game a "must win" but the Cardinals game Sunday against the Texans comes very close. The Cardinals (1-2) already have lost two at home and three of their next four games are on the road - at Seattle, the Giants and Bears. http://ari.scout.com/2/907183.html 2047 Scout.com http://ari.scout.com/2/907183.html Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:09:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari The Cardinals are reasonably healthy, so having a bye this week doesn't necessarily benefit the team from a health standpoint. The club does need some time, however, to fix the numerous problems apparent in the first three games. The Cardinals' pass protection has been porous and the run game spotty. The defense has looked great at times, but has allowed long drives at key times. http://ari.scout.com/2/904075.html 2047 Scout.com http://ari.scout.com/2/904075.html Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:40:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari The Cardinals (1-2) would prefer to have their off-week closer to midseason, but there is a positive side to having the bye this week. Quarterback Kurt Warner has been dealing with a sore shoulder since suffering a stinger in the first game of the season. Warner has been able to play effectively despite the pain, but a week off should do wonders for his strength. http://ari.scout.com/2/903750.html 2047 Scout.com http://ari.scout.com/2/903750.html Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:03:00 GMT 0 126 Arizona ari
