The FA pool was weak and I thought they got good players for a good price. The only part of FA that sucked for the Cards was not being able to sign Reggie Kelly. I think he didn’t sign because the Cards were going to use him more for blocking than pass catching and he didn’t like that. I don’t know for sure but that’s what I think.

Buster Davis was supposed to be a good prospect but I didn’t see one thing from him in preseason. I love the fact that we got Moses. Everyone on sports sites are saying they still can’t believe the Raiders cut him. Cards did a great job picking him up right away.

As for the OL, defenses haven’t so much as touched Matt in the preseason, which tells me they are doing an excellent job of pass protecting. I saw a lot of blitzes and the line picked up every single one of them. The passing game will open up the run game. I still don’t buy Whisenhunt’s 55% nonsense. Maybe in the second half when we have a lead we’ll run, but not in the first half, not when you have Q, F and J out there.

It doesn’t matter how good the team looks on paper, it’s how good they look on grass. Michigan looked good on paper at #5, now look at them. I’ll wait until midway through the season before I analyze how good they look. It’s all speculation at this point.

I think it’s a bit over-the-top to assume that every potential risk you’re concerned with will become absolute fact. Some will, some won’t. And there will probably be a few positive surprises as well.

Also - You can’t go wrong when you point to lack of depth (especially at OT) being a potential Achilles Heel. But this doesn’t mean this shortcoming will definitely come back to bite us.

For these reasons, I don’t feel it was a particularly objective article. Suggest you change your brand and type of morning coffee.

I understand the feelings about Euhus but we don’t even really know how Whiz is going to use his tight ends. It wouldn’t surprise me to see he kept the three tight ends for a reason and has some surprises up his sleeve for the regular season.

I think you’re way off on Watson. I watched some of the Cards games from late last season on the NFL Network and noticed that Watson was being double teamed a lot. You might not think much of him but it was obvious to me that opposing teams were worried about him.

Can you even name one play or game where Hank Milligan really had an affect on the outcome? I think Celestin looked quicker and made more plays on special teams this pre-season than Milligan, hence Milligans gone. To wax nostolgic about his cut is just crazy.

I can’t deny the defense has not looked good this pre-season but again we know they played pretty vanilla and wanted to see how various player stacked up and they did not scheme against any of the opponents. I think it might be wise to wait and see what happens once the real bullets start flying.

Finally I think Grimm has made a big difference and we will have to wait and see how Whiz’ playcalling helps us improve on the offensive side of the ball.

I think it’s a little early to make many assumptions and way to early to panic.
