Is there anybody on the team that you trust trying to cover Gronk or Hernandez?

Live by the blitz, die by the blitz!
In a nutshell.
The Cardinals Defense is very agressive. Look for a lot of screen plays by the Pats. It's the Cardinals achillies heel.

That's a shame!Fleming has looked great but got hurt against the Seahawks. Not sure what his status is and if he will be able to play or not this weekend.
We play man with safety coverage over the top. Wilson (SS) often pressures the QB. We love giving different looks and sending the pressure from all over. We've seen 0 to 4 down linemen since Horton's been around (the 11 guys standing up defense in my personal favorite!).
In case people aren't familiar, our defensive coordinator Ray Horton came over from the Steelers and is in his second year as the Cards DC -- so our defense incorporates a lot of those concepts.
I was curious about Massie but never completely sold.As was Massie, esp at the end of the 3rd round. I'm still hoping that Bequette proves worthy of the top-100 pick Bill invested in him; otherwise, passing on Massie, or CB/Returner Brandon Boykin or one of the WRs, might not look too good down the road.
I'm with Off the Grid on the evaluation of Ryan Mallett. I would have rather drafted Sam Acho instead.Another binkie of some here during the 2011 draft was OLB/DE Sam Acho, who I felt was terrific value early in the 4th round. Too bad that we couldn't keep the 99th pick given us by Denver for Maroney; we could've used Acho last year, esp after Andre Carter was lost.
By the way, did Braylon Edwards drop a potential game winning touchdown pass?The Cardinals blitzed Seattle over 50% of the time last week (2nd most in the NFL for week 1). Of course they were playing a rookie QB.

I hate to see good young prospects injured!

The Arizona Cardinals in two consecutive years have selected two PatsFans message board draft binkies:Injury Update:
The shoulder injury to rookie cornerback Jamell Fleming is not serious. Cards hopeful he will be available against the Patriots.
Ex NY Jet, what else do you expect?I believe he had a chance at one but it went off his finger tips.

Most people here have probalby heard of these names (Larry Fitzgerald, Todd Heap, Adrian Wilson, Patrick Peterson and Darnell Dockett) but here are some lesser known names to look out for:
#12 Andre Roberts - WR
Roberts was drafted in the third round a couple of years ago out of The Citadel. Obviously he was very raw coming out of a small program like that. However he really came on late last season and I expect him to have a big season this year. Many people expected the rookie Floyd to be the #2 WR this year, but Roberts has a firm hold on the position.
#58 Daryl Washington - ILB
Washington is entering his thrid season and just signed a 6 year extension with the Cardinals. He is a very fast LB and has good range. He is the young star of the Cardinal LB corp
#87 Jeff King - TE
King was signed from Carolina last year. He is a very talented blocking TE. However he has proven to be a deceptive receiver who is great at finding a hole in the defense. Defenses seem to forget about King and that is when he makes a big reception to keep drives alive
#36 Larod Stephens-Howling - RB / Kick Returner
Think Darren Sproles. Larod is the change of pace back the Cardinals like to bring in on 3 down occasionally. He is hard to find behind the big offensive linemen and has great burst. He is also a special team phenom.
#79 David Carter - DT/DE
Carter was selected in the sixth round last year from UCLA. He rotated in to keep Dan Williams fresh at NT and filled in for Williams when he got hurt late last year. The kid exceed expectations and takes advantage of the playing time he gets.
#51 Paris Lenon - ILB
Paris is a journeyman LB who finally found a home in Arizona. In two seasons he as solidified himself as the leader of the Defense. Not bad for a guy who many thought wouldn't make the roster when he was originally signed. The guy is a student of the game, a workout warrior and the coaches rely on him to run the defense on the field.
