As good a deep-ball thrower as I’ve ever seen. I mean really accurate on the deep ball. He still has it. What he did last year with the Raiders, in a crazy situation, I thought was very, very impressive.” Bruce Arians is heading into his first year as the Head Coach of the Arizona Cardinals and made the switch from the quartet of Quarterbacks who had NO success in 2012, with the exception of Kolb and his 4-2 start, to the much maligned Carson Palmer. As a Cardinal fan I look past what many Raider fans say, that he was horrible, despite his 22 TD’s and 4018 yard season. The biggest factor for Palmer to succeed won’t be the receiving unit which he lacked last year, or the running game which was non-existent, but for the Offensive line. The Cardinals gave up 58 sacks last year, 27 over a three game spa Sun, 19 May 2013 13:57:04 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/carson_palmer_still_has_it/13649878 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/carson_palmer_still_has_it/13649878 Carson Palmer “Still Has It” http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/carson_palmer_still_has_it/13649878 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/9/e/9e4e2211d6d5e78d97a074099fc6d64ae23bc3c0/mini/6790128.jpg There is reason for hope for Arizona Cardinals star receiver Larry Fitzgerald and his name is Carson Palmer. It has been said that Fitzgerald is wasting away in the desert, his tremendous skills not being utilized due to a lack of good quarterback play. However, with the arrival of Bruce Arians and the deep ball passing game he likes, Fitzgerald looks to be a hot target in 2013. Palmer's strong arm and accuracy should help him get more targets and opportunities to make plays. So his frustration level should go down considerably in 2013 now that he has a viable QB to get him the ball. "It was the most frustrating season time, I’ve ever had professionally or even amateur. I’ve never had a year like that."  "It was tough mentally. Physically, it was tough. It builds resolve. I know I never want to go through a season like that personally or as a team and I’m going to do everything in my power not to ever repeat that. It left a real bad taste in my mouth,&qu...

The Arizona Cardinals star receiver does his talking on the turf and does not let negative energy lead the way for him. Since the departure of quarterback Kurt Warner, Fitzgerald has led the Cardinals through dark days that were spearheaded by arguably the worst quarterback play that the NFL has ever seen.

However the porous O-Line play and the loss of Kevin Kolb with fractured ribs derailed a once promising season. The person who was most devastated by this was All-Star WR, Larry Fitzgerald. If Fitzgerald was frustrated he didn’t show it. There were times when we Cardinal fans just wanted him to let it all out. To curse out the men who considered themselves Quarterbacks in the NFL. But he didn’t he continued to be a class act and played the game of football for his team. In an interview with the Arizona Republic, Fitzgerald finally spoke out about last seasons mishaps, “It was the most frustrating season, or time, I’ve ever had. Professionally … or even in college, I’ve never had a year like that. It was tough mentally, physically it was tough, but it builds resolve.

He did have eight catches for 166 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 to finish with 45 receptions, 562 yards and two scores in his rookie year. With Bruce Arians' vertical offense in place and Carson Palmer under center, it should be a bounce-back year for Arizona's passing attack.

That moment of brilliance that faded away as quickly as it emerged when Kurt Warner retired, led to years of mediocrity that made the losses cut deeper. It’s easy to blame any number of positions for why the Cards fell off, but at least it’s clear the 2012 season was a failure because of the offensive line...

Washington worked into practice with the second-team defense Tuesday, replaced on the first unit by recently-acquired Karlos Dansby, the likely choice to fill Washington’s role while he’s suspended the first four games of the season for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.   For the first time this offseason, Washington addressed his off-the-field issues, which included an arrest on May 3 on two counts of aggravated assault. The case is ongoing. Washington has been working out with the team in voluntary workouts throughout the process.   “I really can’t talk about that right now,” Washington said. “I’m pretty much limited in what I got to say but I’m going to let my attorney do his job and we’ll go from there.” I don’t think Washington will lose his job to Dansby, but he has any more run-ins with the law, he may not be playing in the desert much longer.   Nee Tue, 14 May 2013 20:48:21 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/daryl_washington_rolling_with_the_cardinals_second_team_defense/13618673 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/daryl_washington_rolling_with_the_cardinals_second_team_defense/13618673 Daryl Washington rolling with the Cardinals second-team defense http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/daryl_washington_rolling_with_the_cardinals_second_team_defense/13618673 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/f/f/ff9f3671e95b7d9307100d2cc45634951db737e8/mini/6790764.jpg TEMPE, Ariz. Since Carson Palmer entered the NFL in 2003, the three teams for which he has played -- the Bengals, the Raiders and now the Cardinals -- have combined for six winning seasons out of a possible 30. Only the Cardinals have won a playoff game in that span. Palmer couldnt help who drafted him, and he didnt have many options when he was traded twice in the past year and a half. So how does the 10-year pro approach the latest low hand hes been dealt -- that of a team coming off three straight playoff-less seasons? I dont think there is an easy situation for anybody in this league. Even for the guys who won the Super Bowl last year, Palmer said. Thats what either drives you or it doesnt. Something that drives me is to work and get better and overcome the circumstances that youre in. Palmer wasnt speaking ill of the Cardinals. He was addressing how he has learned to overcome long odds. And rest assured, he is facing them again.

Daryl Washington faced the media Tuesday for the first time since his arrest on May 3 on two counts of aggravated assault. Washington said all the right things -- when he could say anything at all. All I can do is come out here and work as hard as I can and let everything else play out, said Washington, who is also suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. I dont like to bring a lot of attention to the team. I wish I couldve just been more aware of a lot of situations, obviously, on both ends of the stick with the league and myself. All I want to do is move forward from here and just try to help my team and bring positive attention to the team. When asked specifically about his ongoing case, Washington couldnt offer any more than has already been reported. I really cant talk about that right now, he said. Im pretty much limited in what I got to say, but Im going to let my attorney do his job, and well go from there.

Anderson adds that Starks is already in the midst of taking his physical for the team. Cardinals new HC Bruce Arians spent time with Starks while in Pittsburgh. Arizona hasn’t been very active in the free agent tackle market; even though many feel that it’s an obvious area of need for them. As of now, they have Levi Brown and Bobby Massie manning their starting tackle positions, but Starks could at least offer them some additional depth in case either player struggles like they did last season. Starks, 31, also has interest from the Chargers. We’ll have more as the news becomes available.

Last year Cardinals QBs, were arguably worst in the league, as four different starters graced the field during the season and Arizona only tallied 5 victories. In the end it was a statistical debacle and although the numbers do not tell the full story they do tell quite a bit about how bad last year really was.As Cardinals management passed up in my opinion a no brainer in Matt Barkley (I always thought Arizona could be a great place to develop the former cerebrale all American) the team obviously has other ideas about how things are going to unfold as the roster remains loaded with QBs that fail to strike fear into the eyes of ...

Cardinals second-round pick Kevin Minter got undercard billing at his introductory press conference Thursday at the teams practice complex. It wasnt because top pick Jonathan Cooper was in attendance. That event had already come and gone. Its just that third-round pick and former LSU teammate Tyrann Mathieus story is a bit more compelling at this stage of his career a point the Cardinals' deft media relations staff understood when they brought Mathieu to the podium first. "It is what it is," Minter said. "Even though I was obviously picked before him, the guy was a playmaker. He did a lot for us that national championship year. Coach Bruce Arians and general manager Steve Keim believe Minter will do just as much for the Cardinals in the coming years. And it all starts with his reputation as a thumper a reputation he said he relishes. Im not necessarily a hoo-rah type of guy.

Dansby was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of the 2004 NFL Draft and played his first six seasons with the team. Dansby was franchised twice by the Cardinals before moving on to the Miami Dolphins. He spent three years with the Dolphins before being released after the 2012 season. He now heads to the place where he got his start; we guess it is possible to go home again. Dansby will help fill the void of suspended linebacker Daryl Washington and figures to work next to him when he returns.   Fri, 10 May 2013 13:40:08 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/you_can_go_home_again_cardinals_and_linebacker_karlos_dansby_agree_to_a_1_yr_deal/13591073 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/you_can_go_home_again_cardinals_and_linebacker_karlos_dansby_agree_to_a_1_yr_deal/13591073 You can go home again: Cardinals and linebacker Karlos Dansby agree to a 1-yr deal http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/you_can_go_home_again_cardinals_and_linebacker_karlos_dansby_agree_to_a_1_yr_deal/13591073 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/e/c/ecf2c3f4fe8636c9e21aba647c5d0b6704e7154c/mini/6329320.jpg The Arizona Cardinals drafted Tyrann Mathieu knowing that the former LSU defensive back would bring a laundry bag full of problems with him.
