TEAMS: Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles
Each week I try to sit down with a blogger from the opposing team and take a closer look at the upcoming matchup for the week. This time around, I was lucky enough to speak with Scott Allen of RaisingZona.com about the upcoming game with the Cardinals.
Right off the bat I have to ask him about his thoughts on Kevin Kolb. I also ask him about how rookie Patrick Peterson has played so far this year, a player a lot of Eagles fans were very high on. After looking at some individual players, we look more at the matchup and we find out that Scott doesn’t have a whole lot of confidence in his Cardinals. In the end, his final score prediction reflects this.
BirdsFan: I have to ask you about Kevin Kolb. Were you supportive of the Cardinals making the move for him? What are your thoughts about Kolb now?
RaisingZona: Absolutely supportive and still am. He’s better than what we had last season and needs to be given time to get it right. I keep preaching patience. I’ve always said that ...

Cardinals To Begin Using CB Patrick Peterson On Offense?
Already pulling double duty as the Cardinals' starting right corner and primary punt returner, first-round draft pick Patrick Peterson can be expected to become a growing force in spot situations on offense, Pro Football Weekly hears.

Rams defense improving even if wins are rare
The St. Louis Rams' defense had its best day of the season last weekend. After Patrick Peterson's 99-yard punt return in overtime at Arizona, it was lost in the shuffle.
The Rams defense held the Cardinals to 262 total yards in the 19-13 loss. The Cardinals converted just two of their 10 third-down plays.
Two weeks ago in a 31-21 victory over New Orleans, the Rams gave...
Cardinals vs. Eagles: view from an Arizona fan's balcony...
The memory of the Cardinals flying into Baltimore a few weeks ago and nearly knocking off the Ravens is still fresh to me, so I must admit my perspective of the 2-6 team from Arizona coming into Philly this weekend is deeply biased. All I know for sure about the Cardinals as a threat to the Eagles' chance to rebound to a 4-5 record on Sunday is: Kevin Kolb will not be pitching...
