Warner’s Injury Shows Deeper Issues

TheHockeyGuy — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:34:11 +0000

When it comes to important issues, the NFL rarely organizes a parade, but it does a fine job of making its way to the front after one has started.

That was the case when the league was pushed to hire more minority head coaches and general managers. And it’s true now with the discussion about head injuries.

But it’s better to participate in the parade, even if you’re a late entrant, than to close the office drapes and pretend it’s not happening.

The league faces an inherent problem in protecting players from the long-term effects of head injuries: the players themselves. The Cardinals could serve as a case study this season.

Last week, quarterback Kurt Warner agonized about whether he should be honest with the team’s medical staff and tell them about the symptoms he was feeling a week after suffering a concussion.

Warner admitted he “wrestled” with the question as he was making his way to the meeting to decide his availability to play Sunday. He ultimately decided not to play.

Cardinals’ Boldin can’t practice on sprained ankle

GameSetMatch — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:05:01 +0000

Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin didn’t practice Wednesday, three days after aggravating his sprained right ankle.

Boldin said Monday that he hoped to play this weekend against the Bears, and Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt classified his wide receiver as “day to day.”

Boldin hasn’t missed a game this season because of the injury. However, he sat out four games in each of the previous two seasons because of various ailments.

Also missing practice for the Cardinals on Wednesday were DT Darnell Dockett (ankle) and LB Gerald Hayes (back). Both defensive starters haven’t missed a game this season.

Cardinals need something to believe in

GameSetMatch — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:57:24 +0000

The phrase “jumped the shark” has certainly “jumped the shark”.

In fact, saying that the phrase “jump the shark” has “jumped the shark” has, indeed, “jumped the shark” as well.

(Note: “Jumping the shark” is a term used to describe a trend that has become played out and no longer relevant. I add this parenthetical after 80 percent of the people in the newsroom hadn’t heard of the expression. Which may prove my point.)

But in the NFL, a tried and true mindset of the last seven years has jumped the shark, and the Arizona Cardinals are finding out too late.

Cards have chance for big streak

GameSetMatch — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:16:52 +0000

It’s easy to romanticize a big victory when the reference point is a history of failure.

The celebration of the Cardinals’ 24-17 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night is about more than that. The performance was pivotal because it spoke as much about the future as it did the past.

Only two of the Cardinals’ 10 remaining games are against teams with winning records. Their next five opponents – Carolina, Chicago, Seattle, St. Louis and Tennessee – are a combined 7-24. In this bizarre NFL season riddled with have-nots, the Cardinals will benefit from having the 0-7 Rams on their schedule twice and the 0-6 Titans and 1-5

Cardinals players get day off after big win

GameSetMatch — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:02:43 +0000

Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt gave his players the day off on Monday. No doubt they deserved it.

The Cardinals’ 24-17 victory over the New York Giants Sunday night was one of the biggest regular-season wins in the franchise’s 22 years in Arizona.

“Outside of the playoffs last year, we haven’t had a lot of quality wins, wins against tough opponents, teams that are playing really well,” quarterback Kurt Warner said afterward. “Those are kind of statement games, where you gain confidence, and you feel like you can compete with anybody.”

The Cardinals have for years been awful away from home, especially on trips to the East, but Sunday’s victory made Arizona 3-0 on the road this season. It’s the first time the Cardinals have won three in a row on the road since 1987.

Arizona finally shows Super Bowl form

GameSetMatch — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:39:03 +0000

Finally, the Arizona Cardinals are looking like the team that rolled through the playoffs to the Super Bowl – just in time for a Sunday night matchup with the perturbed New York Giants.

Arizona’s dominating 27-3 victory in Seattle on Sunday marked the first time this season the inconsistent Cardinals have put together a complete game.

Linebacker Karlos Dansby says the performance gives the team momentum and “a lot of confidence. He says the team knew it had the ability, and to finally see it come through on the field was a good feeling.
