Dansby and Washington....Gone:huhldup:

That's like the 49ers losing Willis & Bowman


Now they have to depend on Kevin Minter & Larry Foote:scusthov:


I see the offense carrying the team this year.They should have the playbook down, plus they added a speedy/deep threat with the Ted Ginn signing.

Ellington is already one of the most underrated players in the league.He's another Jamaal Charles out there.I'm ok with the offense being built around him.

The offensive line should be better, but they're going to need time to gel.They're basically starting with a whole new left side with Cooper at LG and Veldheer at LT

Quite possibly the same on the right side.They haven't resigned Winston, so maybe Bobbie Massie is slotted to take his spot.I thought Massie was the Cards best O linemen during the last 8 games of his rookie season a couple of years ago.He looked like a future Pro Bowl player.For whatever reason, he's been in Bruce Arians dog house.Arians runs a different scheme than Whisenhunt ran during Massie's rookie year.I just hope they don't cut him.Some team running a similar scheme to Whisenhunt's will be getting a steal.

And also at RG, they might go with 2nd year player Earl Watford.Dude is talented at cat quick for a linemen.Played pretty well in the preseason, but didn't get much playing time during the year last season.Any way you look at it, that's damn near a whole new offensive line.

I wouldn't be shocked to see the offense have a few hiccups the first couple of weeks.Not only that, both of the guys on the left side of the line are coming off injury.Coopers still basically a rookie.


But man, losing Dansby & Washington hurts.Cardinals looked like they were on the way to having a legit top 5 D.I'd be surprised if they crack the top 15 this year.

No Honey Badger, Washington, or Dansby?:damn: As a collective, that's all your defensive instincts..GONE

3 players who were arguably the most "cerebral" guys on the defense last year.

Dansby was the key last year.I don't know why he's so underrated by a lot of people.Maybe it's because the Dolphins paid him all that money, but Dansby can ball.Hall Of Fame level player IMO.I thought he should've been named the DPOY this past season, but the national media gave him no love:dahell:

If they could've at least signed him, I think they'd still have a top 10 D this year.Him in Bowles defensive scheme was a match made in football heaven.It's a reason why Dockett went berserk when he found out Dansby was signing with the Browns.The Cardinals were on the brink of something special.

I hear the Cardinals are trying to get out of Daryl Washington's contract.They feel like they shouldn't have to pay him because of all the dumb shyt he's done.

Rumors are once the contract dispute is over, they're going to cut him:to:

Best defensive player on the team IMO.A Patrick Willis level talent at ILB:wow:.

After serving all the suspension time for the weed/domestic violence, he might not be eligible to play again until the middle of next season.

If he gets his life together, some team is going to get a steal when that happens.

Top 5 ILB right there

This is why I wanted the Cards to draft Shazier. Dansby's gone and Washington can't be trusted. Washington's a real bad influence to Tyrann Mathieu too. He's a damn good player though. The defense won't be the same without him.

If Washington is dropped, it will be tough watching some other team pick him up for nothing and see him ball out. Watch him get his life together on another team after years of screw ups with the Cards:snoop:.
