Position Battle
Injured. Released.
Practice Squad |
|
Quarterbacks: |
04
Kevin Kolb
|
6-3 218 U of Houston (Trade - Philly) |
Has methodically taken command of the Cardinal offense and looks
increasingly solid |
19 John
Skelton
|
6-5½ 243 ( D5) |
High ankle sprain could "Wally Pipp" him in favor of Coyle.
(He survived). |
|
02
Richard Bartel |
6-2 230 Tarleton State |
Looked almost as solid as Kolb and, in my opiinion, may have
passed Skelton on the depth chart. Just has to eliminate
occasional ball protection lapses (averaging one per game) |
|
Running Backs: |
|
26
Chris "Beanie" Wells |
6-1 235 Ohio
State (D1)
|
Running with more authority |
|
36
LaRod
Stephens- Howling |
5-7 180 Pitt
(D7a) |
Now our #2 RB who is emerging as a home run receiving threat. |
|
29 Chester Taylor
|
5-11 213 Toledo |
Veteran FA pickup after Final 53 cutdown. Had poor yardage
performance last year with Bears but is considered a skilled
receiver & blocker who adds missing veteran leadership to the RB
posiition |
|
46
Alfonso Smith RB
|
6-1 207
Kentucky |
Moved up to #3 RB in wake of R Williams injury, and, vs. GB,
played like a guy who belonged. Will be challenged by Powell.
Survival may come down to which guy fits the offense better - a
thumper or a Lite version of Ryan Williams. (He survived) |
|
35 Anthony Sherman FB |
5-10 242, UConn, |
ITo IR in midseason.
Coaches love him but Mau'ia making it tough unless Cards decide to
keep 2 FB's.. |
|
45 Reagan
Mau'ia FB |
6-0 260 Hawaii |
Re-signed when Sherman went down in midseason.
Cards love Sherman but the "dumpster with lips" is playing with
passion and makes the decision difficult. (Tough decision made.
Cut 9/2) |
|
Wide Receivers: |
11
Larry Fitzgerald (D1)
|
6–3
225, Pitt (D1)
|
Team's superstar now signed to long-term deal. |
|
12
Andre Roberts WR
|
5-10¾ 195 The Citadel (D3)
|
Faster than expected. Growing more reliable from game to game |
|
18Stephen Williams WR |
6-5 199 Toledo (UDFA) |
8/6 (Red & White) - Pretty TD catch. |
|
85 Early Doucet WR
|
6-0 211 LSU (D3) |
Finally injury free and on verge of making a name for himsel.. |
|
17 Chansi Stuckey |
6-0 196 Clemson (Jets, Cleve) |
Performance vs.Denver should nail him a spot. |
|
89 DeMarco Sampson |
6-2 204 San Diego St. |
Making an early impression. Earning a spot on the Final 53 may
depend on whether or not we keep 6 wideouts. |
|
Tight Ends: |
|
86 Todd Heap |
6-5 245 ASU (Ravens) |
Seems to be connectiong early with Kolb. |
|
87
Jeff King |
6-3 260 Va. Tech (Panthers) |
8/5 (Sando) - Brought his signature leaping through-the-legs
touchdown spike to Cardinals training camp. He showed it off after
catching a touchdown pass in goal-line drills.
|
|
84 Rob Housler |
|
Rookie pass-catching pheenom. |
|
81 Jim
Dray |
6-4¾ 251 Sanford (D7) |
It figures to be Dray or Spach, with Spach having more experience
but Dray having more youth. Survived (so far) |
|
86
Stephen Skelton |
6-5 250 Fordham |
Cut, re-signed and cuit againin Week 9. Missed TD catch vs. Denver probably cinched what was inevitable
anyway. Cut 9/2. |
|
Offensive Linemen: |
|
75 Levi Brown
OT |
6-5 323 lb
Penn. St. (D! 2007)
2 |
Not perfect by any means but unchallenged starter at LY |
|
71 Daryn Colledge T - G |
6-4 308 Boise St. (Packers) |
5-year vet who started
for GB Super Bowl team. Figures to be leader of the O-line
|
|
63
Lyle Sendlein C
|
(6-2, 305)
-Texas
(UDFA)
|
He remains a fixture at center |
|
70 Rex Hadnot G/C |
6-2 310 (Browns) |
Still gains the nod over the obese Lutui, but the Deuce is making
a run. |
|
72 Brandon
Keith OG/OT |
6-5 345 lb No.
Iowa (D7) |
Back from injury and appears to be a fixture at RT |
|
76 Taitusi (Deuce) Lutui
G/T |
6-4 350
USC (D2) |
Still too heavy but improving each week and making a run toward
becoming a starter again (but he'll have to prove it).
|
|
74 D'Anthony Batiste
|
6-4 318 Lousiana - Lafayette |
Some close observerssee him displacing someone like Womack. Made
final cut (so far) |
|
73 Jeremy
Bridges G/T |
6-4 326 So Miss
(FA) |
Versatile backup and valuable for that reeason. |
|
Defensive Linemen: |
|
90 Darnell Dockett UT/DE |
6-3 292 Florida State
(D3) |
An emotional leader of defense |
|
93 Calais
Campbell (D2) |
6-8 283, Miami
(FL) |
Returned to high level of play |
|
91 Vonnie Holliday |
6-5
288 North Carolina |
Has been flying around making plays like a 23 year old. If he can
stay healthy, he can be an important rotational contributor to our
defense. |
|
79 David Carter |
6-5 294 UCLA,
|
Late round pick is surprising everyone. Already our backup NT and
pushing D Williams |
|
98 Nick Eason |
6-3 305 Clemson (Steelers) |
We think it will come down to the heavier
more versatile Eason vs. the lighter, equally versatile Iwebema.
Survived final cut (thus far) |
|
96 Ronald Talley |
6-3 286 Delaware (Green Bay) |
Cut and then re-signed to PS and then promoted after SF game. |
|
92
Dan Williams NT |
6-2 327
Tennessee (D1) |
Broke arm vs. SF. Placed on IR.
Another one of the "fatties" playing himself into shape. Carter is
pushing him but he ironically has (some of the) extra weight in
his favor |
|
Linebackers: |
|
55 Joey
Porter
OLB |
6-3 255 (FA
Miami)
|
Seems to have enough gas
left in the proverbial tank to provide a mucn needed pass rush. |
|
58 Daryl Washington
ILB |
6-1½,
230 TCU (D2) |
Improving from game to game |
|
52 Stewart Bradley
ILB/OLB |
6-4 255 Nebraska (Eagles) |
Best off-season move (next to Kalb and Heap). Smart guy who
dropped off in zone coverage to make pretty pick vs. Denver. |
|
53 Clark Haggans DE/OLB |
6-4 243 (Steelers) |
By no means perfect but a solid guy who makes plays. |
|
51 Paris Lenon |
6-2 235 Richmond 9 (FA Rams) |
Perfect in 3-man ILB rotation. |
|
48
O' Brien Schofield |
6-2¾ 235 Wisconsin
(D4) |
Arguably our best pass rusher who appears to be all the way back
from knee injury 2 springs ago. |
|
56 Reggie Walker |
6-0 238 Kansas
State |
Hasn't shown enough to prevail. Surprise survivor (thus far) |
|
94 Sam Acho
|
6-2 262 Texas, |
Card coaches love him for great intellect and character, but he
seems a half-step late to the ball to often. Made final cut (thus
far) |
|
Defensive Backs: |
|
24
Adrian Wilson S |
6-2¼ 213 (D3)
UNC
|
Inspirational defensive leader. Hasn't played all preseason
(bicep) and won't until the medics clear him. For the time being,
will he be able to help us? Or is he occupying much needed roster
space? |
|
25 Kerry
Rhodes |
6-3 209 Louisville (Jets(Trade) |
Foot surgery at Bye Week. |
|
20
A.J. Jefferson CB |
6-0
190 (UDFA) Fresno St
(UDFA) |
Surprise starter - very DRC-like in athletic ability, but even
more aggressive in coverage and more physical a tackler. |
|
31 Richard Marshall |
5-11 189 Fresno St. Panthers) |
New guy from Steelers who seems to be more like a McFadden than a
DRC. But he's a good tackler who seems to know what he's doing out
there (though less of a pick 6 home run type) |
|
21
Patrick Peterson |
6-0 219 LSU (D1) |
Injury to Toler makes him a lock as our #3 corner who could be
elevated as jhe gains experience. Already has shown that he's
downright scary returning punts. |
|
37
Sean Considine |
6-0 212 Iowa (FA7) |
Bye Week pickup when Rhodes went down. |
|
27
Michael Adams
CB |
5-8,
178 - Louisiana-Lafayette (UDFA) |
He'd be a perennial Pro Bow; player if he was 6-inches taller. But
he ain't; plus he's injured. Survived final cut |
|
49
Rashad Johnson S |
5-11
205 Alabama (D3) |
Stepped up to #1 unit when A-Dub went down and has done OK. Could
have to battle Abdullah for a reserve safety roll depending on who
we keep. Survived final cut. |
|
23 Hamzah
Abdullah S |
6-2 215 Washington
State |
Had huge game vs. Denver (including some deluxe hitting - which we
need when A-Dub can't go. Survived final cut |
|
40
Pat Tillman, (S) |
5-10½
208 (3) ASU |
While Pat
was serving his country, we promised we'd "keep the
seat warm" for him with a roster spot here on the BRS. He will remain
a permanent fixture here - as he will in our hearts. |
|
Special Teams |
|
04 Jay Feely K
|
5-10
208 (FA - Jets)
|
Mr. Reliable |
|
09 David
Zastudl P/H |
|
Not bad, and presumably brought in for a reason, but I just don't
see us keeping him. (Wrong! Survived final cut) |
|
82
Mike Leach
LS |
6-2 240 William & Mary (FA Denver) |
Very solid - good "safety" on coverage teams. |
|
Practice Squad: |
|
30
Marshay Green CB
|
5-9 175 Ole Miss (UDFA) |
Victimized in GB game but looked a lot sharper vs. Broncs.
Depending on how many DB's we keep, it could be Marshay vs.
Bennett (unless we keep both or cut both). Cut 9/2 |
|
80 Brandon
Williams LB |
6-3 250 Texas Tech |
Signed after SF game. Formerly with Dallas. Had ACL earlier this
year. |
|
60 Ricky Lumpkin DL |
6-4 306 Kentucky |
Cut 9/2 |
|
67 DJ Young OT |
6-5 298
Michigan State |
Hasn't shown much (& O-linemen are invisible enough in any case.
Cut 9/2 |
|
62 Ryan Bartholomew OC |
6-1 310 R Syracuse |
|
|
83 Jaymar Johnson WR |
6-0 176 Jackson St. |
|
|
32
Korey Lindsay
CB |
5-11 194 So. Illinois (FA Cleve) |
Cioffi is familar with him. We were thin at corner after DRC trade
and Toler injury |
|
54 Quan
Sturdivant |
6-1 241, UNC |
Smart. (Calls defensive plays). Diagnoses well. But gets rocked
back in the gap. Cut and then re-signed to PS |
|
Suspended: |

after DRC trade and Toler injury |
|

Greg Toler
CB |
5-11 191 St. Paul's (D4) |
mes. 2nd on the team in tackles (90). No sacks; one fumble
recovery. 2 picks. D Urban - First year as starter up and down.
J Gollin - Underrated.
|
|
66 Brad Thorson T |
6-5 310
Kansas |
8/7 - Released |
|
34 Ryan Williams RB |
5-9 212 Virginia Tech, |
8/20 - Hurt knee/out for season.
8/6 (Red & White) - Nasty (good) block on highlight team reel.
8/5 (Somers) - Williams looked quick, sharp. It's early, though,
and he's a rookie. Let's see him in games. Williams shouldn't be
coronated yet, but he is very quick and tough. He ran with
considerable anger in the goal-line sessions. 8/5 (Sando) - Scored
twice on goal-line runs. Williams is an obvious threat to Wells.
His quickness and ability to change directions without slowing
much stand out. |
