What about Langston Moore?

Out of the list of RFA's that the Cardinals supposedly tendered, he was not listed on any of the reports I saw. What gives? IMO, this would be an enormous mistake not bringing this guy back for depth or even a shot at the starting job. He looked real good in the short time he was here.

If the Cardinals are in fact successful signing "Kemo" in free agency, then Moore would definitely be a better option than Russell Davis for depth. Along w/ Moore and King, pick up additional depth in the draft and we're set at NT.

I just don't see Davis as a premier slant NT. In addition, with his injury last year it's a crap shoot whether he'll be strong enough to start inside. JMHO!!!

As far as I know, Moore is a EFA. And with recent indications not being positive about Davis being back, I'm pretty sure he will get a tender.

I agree with your assesment about Moore. I thought he looked promising in limited action and was far stronger than Davis was at holding his ground as a slant tackle. The thought of a Kemo and Moore rotation at NT is a exciting possibility IMO.

I really don't want to see us wind up with "adequate" personnel at NT. I think we should be shooting for so much strength up the middle that opposing teams don't even consider running inside against us.

To me, Russell Davis is OK but just "adequate" and Moore has the potential to be OK but just adequate, but still has to prove it.

I really would like to see us add at least two really dominating players at the position. Kimoeatu would be a great start. Plus someone in the draft (Bunkley, Watson or Ngata -if Dennis and Rod felt the latter two were worth the risk - probably not at #10 but maybe if one slipped to #41). Or Dvoracek if they felt he was worth a high 3rd round pick or if he somehow slipped our high spot in round four.

Within that context, I'd prefer to view either Davis or Moore as the #3 NT for rotation-depth.

Most of the EFA's and RFA's were tendered. Which means it is a good chance Moore was on of those guys. Plus he only has 2 years of experiance so that makes him a EFA, not a RFA.
