NFL PROBOWL

The Super Bowel was great but did not have the ending I felt we deserved! The Cardinals had a huge presence at the Pro bowl In Honolulu. Larry Fitzgerald was fantastic and won the MVP; Kurt Warner's time was short but successful, wide receiver Anquan Boldin, Strong Safety Adrian Wilson, and Special Teamer Sean Morey also represented the Cardinals at the Pro Bowl this year. Let's hope they are all Cardinals next season!

Today my Cards go up against the Washington Redskins. This is the test, are they for real or not? I think they are the real McCoy, but it is up to them now.

GO BIG RED!

DRAFT DAY! AZ CARDINALS #1 PICK

Corner Back, just what we needed and a great pick was available. Only the 2nd corner chosen this year, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is 6 foot 1.5 inches and weighed in at 183. He comes from Tennessee State.

Strengths:Naturally athletic and very smooth...Great height with long arms and some growth potential...Very good timed speed with a burst to close...Instinctive and breaks on the ball quickly...Terrific agility...Playmaker with exceptional ball skills...Aggressive and confident...Was pretty productive at his level...Also an excellent kick returner. Weaknesses:Needs to add weight and bulk up...Not very physical and has to get stronger...Did not play against top competition...Still raw and will need to work on his technique and footwork...Struggles to shed blocks...Doesn't really offer much in run support.

Super SUPER BOWL

As many of you know, we were fortunate enough to have a connection to a pair of SUPER BOWL tickets at reasonable prices. We are very thankful to John and Lori for their SUPER BOWL seats! Lisa and I had a blast.


Westgate was cool! They had all kinds of parties and a band playing prior to kick off. It was a great setting for this event. If I didn't have tickets to the game, I would have gone and watched there at Westgate.

Below are a few pictures from the day:


Lisa and I before the game at Westgate. Yes, I wore my colors. There were plenty of Cardinals jerseys outside, but I didn't see any inside the game.

Westgate was a great party atmosphere.

Can she look any HAPPIER! She was very excited that we found Howie Long and watched him do the pregame.

SUPER BOWL BRINGS BUSINESS CONNECTIONS TO THE VALUE

I read this article today in the republic. It is a perfect example of how building the Arizona Cardinals a football stadium, not only brought us the Super Bowl, but brings oportunity for more jobs and business. Today the world will be watching the valley and many will be lured to bring their businesses here and / or do business here from the exposure. Thus creating more jobs and usually bringing better paying jobs that help disversify our economy. It was a great step in creating the future of Arizona!

Of course, the gentlemen from Dubai will be at the Super Bowl today.

Phoenix is taking some key first steps to establishing a long-term partnership with the Middle Eastern port of Dubai, hoping ties to the wealthy emirate will result in more jobs for the Valley.The Greater Phoenix Economic Council is hosting a delegation of government and business leaders from Dubai this weekend. The delegation includes Mohammed Bin Ali Alabbar, chairman of real-estate giant Emaar Properties, and Richard Rodriguez, who oversees Emaar's developments in the United Arab Emirates.

ARIZONA CARDINALS 30 ATLANTA FALCONS 27

Yes, we can win a game. Even if it takes an overtime victory to beat the lowly Atlanta Falcons. With the depletion of our defense to injuries, any victory now is awesome. The Cardinals have a chance next Sunday to finish the season 8 wins and 8 losses. Nothing for most to jump up and down over, but for the Arizona Cardinals this would be their 3rd non-loosing season since moving to Arizona 19 years ago. With that in mind, you can understand how this last game is REAL important to a fan like me. Let's prove things have changed!
Next year would be great if:
1. Our franchise quarterback stays healthy and matures to success.
2. We upgrade a few positions, like defensive backs!
3. We re-sign our key player and loose none to free agency.
4. Our depth keeps the injury bug from striking so hard. Understanding there will be injuries.
5. We go from the most penalized team to one of the least penalized teams. Top 5!
6. We have double digit victories.
7. We win our division.
8. We go beyond the first round of the playoffs and have a playoff victory.
9. Our 12th player helps us win every home game.
10. We do what no Arizona Cardinals team has done before!
Just another Cardinals fan!
Has this year been fun watching the play of Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald? The first half of the season our defense was awesome. Ken, get this team healthy, add some depth, get us a shut down corner and a partner for Adrian Wilson, get Neil Rackers a shrink, re-sign our good players, get some great draft picks and continue to be a GREAT COACH. This team has so much talent, I want to see them succeed before they get old or move on to success with other teams. I have been saying all year 2008 would be our year, I meant in the playoffs. Now I understand I must have meant the 2008 regular season! We shall see, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY!

Arizona Cardinals 34 St Louis Rams 31

Well it was not a pretty game. We lost Matt Leinart with a broken collar bone and he may be out the rest of the season. BUT, we won and for now are leading the NFC West. I am bummed about the loss of Matt, but am feeling great with a winning record at 3 Wins and 2 Losses. Next week is the Carolina Pathers. They are not playing as expected prior to the season opening. It would be great to continue unbeaten this year in Glendale on the home turf. PROTECT THE NEST. As they say at Cardinal games.
I thought it was funny the way the annoucers were bagging on Rod Hood. I think the quote was, "he can't cover anyone." Then he comes up with not one but two interceptions to seal the fate of this game. Congratulations to Rod Hood! Let's now pick up the coverage!
I didn't write about last weeks game. I have to tell you, the home crowd is loud! We had a blast at the game. Well, when you win it is always fun. Even the ugly win over the Rams was fun.
Let's see what Kurt Warner can do as a starter.
Last week was crazy with all the Steeler fans. The chanting and high fiving before the game. The Cardinal fans were quietly going their way to watch. We have been burned for so many years, the swagger is not there yet. I hope to get a few more wins and see the swagger begin to shape!

September 23, 2007 Arizona Cardinals 23 Baltimore Ravens 26

Yes, the Arizona Cardinals blow a chance to win on the road. It was quite a game. Our defense could not stop them in the first half while our offense did nothing in the first half. Matt Linart looked pretty bad. Then Kurt Warner came in with the no-huddle offense. Kurt moved the ball right down the field to score a field goal. It was shocking to watch Kurt work. He was just a pro and seemed to find open reciever after open reciever. I was loving it. However, they did not finish. We lost. There were some close calls that went against us, but we need to put a team away. We can't put ourselves in a position for the refs to take the game from us. We need to finish strong in the 4th quarter and WIN.
Next week is the unbeaten Pitsburg Steelers. Big Ben is coming to town. How will we rspond. Will we PROTECT THE NEST? Or willl we be 1 and 3 after Sunday. That is why they play, any given Sunday any team can win. This week let it be The Arizona Cardinals!

Arizona Cardinals 23 Seattle Seachickens 20

September 17, 2007

Wow what a game! The cardinals came out and looked great through most of the first half. Matt Lienart was connecting with his receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, and Edgerin James continued his ground attack. He ended the game with 128 yards of rushing, which is awesome. One of my favorite plays was 3rd and one on the Seattle 30 yard line. Because we have a running game we were able to take advantage of it to score. But not by running the ball. We lined up in a run formation and Leonard Pope, the 6 foot 7 tight end, snuck through on a play action pass. Leonard went 30 yards untouched for a touch down.
The defense held Seattle for most of the first half. It was disappointing how Seattle drove down the field just before the half and scored for the first time making the score 17 - 7. That score did not represent how much we dominated that team both on offense and defense. The offensive line was stellar. We had 2 rookies and second year Duece Lutui along with 2 veterans for our starting line. They were impressive and the difference. One of the rookies, center Lyle Sendlein, graduated from Chaparral High School. That's my alma mater.
The second half was a little different. Matt Lienart started off good and then the interception, which led to a touch down. Then Matt looked a little shaky, he was throwing the ball in the dirt, we had a false start and Matt tripped and thus a punt. This is where the game got scary. Seattle is up by 3, then we tie the game at 20. Now late in the 4th quarter and Seattle is driving. Time is running out. It is first and 5 at the 36 with under 2 minutes to go, Hasselbeck muffs hand off to Shawn Alexander, Cards linebacker Hayes forces fumble, Darnel Dockett recovers at the 44. We drive down and Neil Rackers kicks the winning field goal as time expires! What an AWESOME game. Really we showed strong defense, good special teams plays and an offense that could both run the ball and pass the ball. We were firing on all cylinders.
In listening to the players interviews I was shocked and impressed to hear what happened. Because the CROWD, the 12th man, was so loud; Shawn Alexander thought Matt Hasselbeck had audibled out of the play. There was just enough confusion for Gerald Hayes to get in and cause the fumble. So, I ask you all this basic question: How many games in the past would we have won with more crowd support in a REAL NFL stadium?
