In-state hoss has Leach offer and great feet

Posted April 25, 2012 on washingtonstate.scout.com
PLAYERS: Mike Leach
TEAMS: Arizona Cardinals,  Washington State Cougars
SEATTLE’S MASON FRIEDLINE, who holds an offer from Mike Leach and Washington State, is something of an anomaly. You don’t see a lot of 6-5, 280-pounders with his feet and speed. And not many 1A/2A prospects earn five early offers from Pac-12 schools. Among the more recent questions we asked the King's High prospect, what did WSU like best about him out on the field?

Fight-song challenged, but wired up w/ Leach

Via washingtonstate.scout.com  |  April 24, 2012
PULLMAN -- Clay McGuire probably knows as much about Mike Leach as anybody. The new WSU offensive line coach was a player or coach on nine of Leach’s 10 bowl teams at Texas Tech. He spent the last two years coaching running backs at East Carolina, and says he’s excited to be reunited with his mentor. While they disagree strongly on cowboy boot styles, they’re simpatico otherwise.

Arizona Cardinals select Michael Floyd, Grade B

Via DraftAce  |  April 26, 2012
Very interesting pick by the Arizona Cardinals. In terms of value, Michael Floyd makes sense. He’s a solid mid-1st-round prospect and gives Kevin Kolb another legitimate target. However, I’m not crazy about how he fits in Arizona. He’s not a guy who can stretch the field and Larry Fitzgerald doesn’t really do that at this stage in his career either. There is no doubt in my...

Arizona looks to offensive line, WR with 13th pick

Via AP on Fox  |  April 24, 2012
The Arizona Cardinals could be thinking big in this year's draft. That's big as in some mountainous offensive lineman to fill the team's biggest need. The Cardinals need someone to play right tackle, or at least right guard, and conventional wisdom has them going in that direction with the 13th overall pick on Thursday night. Yet it's not a foregone conclusion...

Darnell Dockett Is Good At Compassion

Hmmmm! Cute ass mug shot! twitter.com/ddockett/statu… — DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) April 24, 2012 I wasn’t inclined at first to write about Deion Sanders getting jumped at his house by his estranged wife and her friend. Despite it being Deion and hence ripe for schadenfreude, it seemed more like an ugly situation than something that merits out-and-out mockery. Then again...

Cardinals ILB Stewart Bradley Agrees To $2.5 Million Pay Cut

Cardinals ILB Stewart Bradley agreed to a cut in his base salary for 2012, from $5 million to $2.5 million, according to documents filed with the player's association. The move frees $2.5 million in cap space. The rest of Bradley's contract remains intact. He signed a five-year, $30-million deal last season that included a $5 million signing bonus.

Darnell Dockett Approves of Pilar Sanders’ Mugshot

Via Funny Athlete Tweets  |  April 24, 2012
Unless you were living under a rock, you heard yesterday of Deion Sanders’ domestic assault. I mean, he livetweeted the entire thing, right up to the twitpic of his kids filling out police reports. Today the mugshot of Sanders’ ex-wife surfaced, prompting Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett to tweet his approval if it.   Hmmmm! Cute ass mug shot! twitter.com/ddockett/statu… —...

Cardinals take receiver Floyd with 13th pick

Via Fox Sports Arizona  |  April 26, 2012
TEMPE, Ariz. -- What Larry Fitzgerald wants, Larry Fitzgerald gets. In this case, what he gets is Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd. While there were arguments to be made for drafting an offensive lineman or a pass-rushing outside linebacker, the lure of selecting another big-play receiver to pair with Fitzgerald was too great for the Cards to ignore. With Fitzgerald already...

2012 NFL Draft: Michael Floyd Lands in Arizona

Via Football Nation  |  April 26, 2012
With the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Michael Floyd, wide receiver, Notre Dame! The NFL Draft has been crazy thus far. Many trades have been made and it seems like the Cardinals are the only team that stayed put. Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd rose up many draft boards as we approached the draft and some went as far as to say...

One man's highs & lows of covering the Cougs

Via washingtonstate.scout.com  |  April 27, 2012
TIME FLIES. One minute you’re on the Rogers Field sidelines talking to Brandon Gibson and the next you’re listening to Mike Leach deliver a humorous comment of some kind. After a college career highlighted by work covering Cougar football and hoops, I’m headed to the Lynden Tribune in Whatcom County. My time covering the Cougs won’t soon be forgotten, though. Here are some...

Cougs roll out the trademark '4 Verticals'

Via washingtonstate.scout.com  |  April 23, 2012
WASHINGTON STATE quarterbacks threw 51 passes in Saturday’s final scrimmage of the spring season, and about 25 percent of those tosses came with Cougar wideouts running one of the oldest plays in the book: 4 Verticals. Literally and figuratively, it’s a straight-forward concept that Mike Leach used to perfection at Texas Tech and clearly looks to be a mainstay with his new Cougs.

Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd joins Arizona Cardinals at #13

Via The Sports Bank  |  April 27, 2012
He’s passed up Golden Tate, Jeff Samardzjia and Tim Brown to claim all the major receiving records in Notre Dame history. And now Michael Floyd is a member of the Arizona Cardinals. Floyd becomes the first WR taken by the Cardinals in the first round since the team selected Larry Fitzgerald with the third overall pick in 2004. He is the first Notre Dame player drafted by the Cardinals...

Cardinals Select Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd (Rd.1, No.13)

Via GridironFans.com  |  April 26, 2012
With the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd. Floyd has been a force on the Notre Dame offense since his freshman season and a terrific receiver opponents could not stop. He possesses the skills to be a starting wide out at the next level and can develop into a primary pass catcher in certain systems. Floyd possesses the...

Michael Floyd is your newest Arizona Cardinal

Via 60 Max Power O  |  April 26, 2012
Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd has been chosen by the Arizona Cardinals with their 13th overall pick... Positives: Floyd can work defenses anywhere on the field, either from outside the hash marks or the slot.  Good at the point of attack and shows a great knack at defeating press coverages. Very adept at using his hands to disengage a defender or muscling defenders away from...
