    OT: NFL preseason week 1 is here. 2025

    Nothing about Clayton Tune ever this offseason, now I’m interested, he made the team last year. Good enough on TC film I seen. Michael Wilson should step up. Benson should be ready to share the load. BJ needs a break, still hope he has some juice. DRob can handle the load, Might be exciting...

    Official NFL Free Agency 2025

    Been gone most of 3 years in the philipines , now I’m a 61 old daddy to a 2 and 6 year old Cardinal fans! So I grew up on preseason being a full quarter of the season, you know Browns Leroy Kelly, perfect dolphins, raiders, Steelers , cowboys …. Preseason was important and the first games were...

    Official NFL Free Agency 2025

    Yay playing starters - some know how I feel about being ready for that first regular season game / it’s as important as the last /or determines how important the last games are - or not ! Fear and faith can not live on the same field.

    Walter Nolen has a Calf injury to start camp

    We are blessed with a hungry DRob, Nolan can absorb while healing, both healthy and angry on the same play trumps CC experience. Ho-e it happens opening day, and for years.

    Starling Thomas V Tears ACL

    CBS so young , we don’t know what the hell we got, but Burke has his shot, hope they all win and fall back, until opening day, and aggravate the crap out of the receivers and make them better too! Whoever does the best against MHJ, McBride and Wilson will stand out.

    The I Told you so on Shedeur Sanders thread

    Bull malarkey , he is ok, let him battle on the field! I don’t doubt he has some of dads mojo, he should have good chance in Cleveland.

    The Critical Impact of Turnovers

    Negative plays determine a games outcome more then positive plays. I never forget about incompletions, most dismiss them but next to to turnover or tackle for loss - they are devastating to pass happy football we seen 2 decades before Gannon. The amount of 3 and outs we had was crucial, pass...

    The return of Ojulari is imminent....

    I think he will do well, maybe more - I expect sacks and now coverage.

    Important preseason

    It’s not college football, any given Sunday the worse can beat the best with a turnover! We’ve seen it happen, not rare. Cards were suppose to be ready last year, but were inconsistent without continuity throughout the season. Andy Reid is a great coach but Tom Landry had a winning season for 30...

    Monti and Gannon Flashbacks seem relevant now. WHO TOOK THE BUS!?

    Offense built first followed by defense seems correct with each years draft options. We run more balanced attack. We are young core, but I think we can win through the early schedule and be much better by the bye , maybe the best in the NFL. It all depends on the balance, and a true 4 man...

    Ban the Tush Push Play

    Earliest days of football before the forward pass! Only thing missing is the mud - mudder skills are obsolete - use to be a top draft consideration, when I was a child. Leroy Kelly made the hof with mudder skills.

    Important preseason

    I have a boxed rookie signed Beanie Wells fancy red and white football, I won on the radio contest. I went to a training in St Louis and picked up some Old school Cardinal drinking glasses and gear, lacking a decent Chicago Cardinal item, have Phoenix Cardinals stuff too in my collection.

    Important preseason

    I grew up on preseason being 1/4 of the season with 12 regular season games. Each regular season game is as important as the other - first or last in the NFL. So this ignoring team and unit competence for the first games of the season bothers me. Fear and faith cannot live in the same stadium...

    My suggested approach to the Off-season - 2nd wave wrap-up & looking ahead

    I think preseason is a must, if you want quality on game 1! But our coach doesn’t. This defense needs to gel, it’s all on paper at this point. If you are developing in the first quarter of the regular season, it could be over against a weak schedule

    2025 5th round pick is Denzel Burke CB

    Without pulling flypoop out of the pepper, he is a good choice with a great chance to improve the roster overall. Proficient in the spotlight, on an island on huge college stage. Fast enough, smart enough, nasty enough - so he gambles a bit…. So do I!

    How much do 49ers reporters get paid to do ZERO Research?

    I’m not objective, I’m a cardinal fanatic, haven’t wrote for pro football central for many moons now. Pissed off Ron Jaworski and others at a time, by being right about the cards run game, being the difference. Even with cards successes, run game was a she- child since Denny Greene until...

    2025 3rd round pick #75 is Jordan Burch Edge

    If it’s not a reach it is the closest thing to a reach since Monti took over. I mean he’s ranked 115 plus - he is somebody’s baby , and hope it works out for them

    2025 2nd round pick #47 is Will Johnson CB

    Much better then expected - great patient job, GM Now QB sanders is best available, I would take him, as trade bait

    2025 1st round pick 16 is Walter Nolen DT

    Sickening.

    Evidenced by too many rings for one hand ? I know TB took them there but never won the SB without a quality run game. Epic failure is cardinals none!
