http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/teams/stanford_cardinal/569 Recent articles about Stanford Cardinal en-us The Cardinals started the 2012 season off 4-0 to only finish the season with a 5-11 record and pretty much the worst statistical team in the NFL.After acknowledging how bad his team was the first thing owner Bill Bidwill did was gut the team from the coaching staff down to all the overpaid players that couldn't stay healthy and on the field.Now with Coach of the Year Bruce Arians running things in the desert, here is the rookie class he and his new coaching staff have added to return the Cardinals to their Super Bowl XLIII season.Arizona Cardinals Rookie Class of 2013Draft Picks 1st Round: Jonathan Cooper – Offensive Guard2nd Round: Kevin Minter – Inside Linebacker3rd Round: Tyrann Mathieu – Defensive Back4th Round: Earl Watford – Offensive Guard5th Round: Stepfan Taylor – Running Back6th Round: Ryan Swope: Wide Receiver6th Round: Andre Ellington – Running Back7th Round: D.C.

The starting running back is coming off an ACL tear 16 months ago, an Achilles injury that limited him in 2012 and a tiff with his coach that led to his suspension late last season for conduct detrimental to the team. The No. 2 back is coming off his second straight season-ending injury, has a reconstructed knee that took more than a year to heal and has played just five games since his selection in the second round (38th overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft. Feeling good about the Arizona backfield? Well, before you go getting yourself into a Cardinal kind of funk, consider the potential upside that Rashard Mendenhall and Ryan Williams carry into the 2013 season. Mendenhall signed a one-year deal worth 2.5 million that includes up to another 1 million in incentives. Williams is entering that critical third year of his contract with little evidence to convince the team that he figures into its long-term plans. Built-in motivation? Coach Bruce Arians thinks so. Yeah, if you want to get paid, Arians sai Tue, 21 May 2013 18:07:19 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/cardinals_backfield_a_balance_of_risk_reward/13666237 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/cardinals_backfield_a_balance_of_risk_reward/13666237 Cardinals backfield a balance of risk, reward http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/cardinals_backfield_a_balance_of_risk_reward/13666237 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png As another off season of College Football material kicks off, this year marks the third year I’ll throw my hat in the ring and look at a number of topics and categories. In the process I’ll look to do everything from predicting next year’s 25 best teams, identify the games of the year, narrow down the Heisman field, identify those replacing 2012′s stars and ultimately make predictions for each league, culminating in a national championship pick. They’ll be many things I’ll be ridiculed for. There will be a number of things that will surprise some people. Ultimately you’ll come away from the next 6 months of material as ready for the college football season as I can possibly make you. While I’ll be sure to miss on things I would like to remind the skeptics I did correctly predict the same number of bowl teams preseason as Phil Steele a year ago as well as top him in BCS Bowl participants predicted before the year.

According to The Associated Press, Nunes has no other option after completely tearing his right chest muscle in February. He is set to medically retire. "The injury shouldn't have happened, and we're not sure why it happened," said Josh’s dad, Tim Nunes. "It's not something that could've been prevented. Doctors told us it's rare for quarterbacks. Just a freak accident." Nunes, an upcoming senior, missed the entire spring session but had every intention to dress this fall in hopes of a full recovery. Now it seems as if his chest won’t heal the correct way, preventing him furthering his football career. As Andrew Luck’s successor, Nunes started the first nine games for Stanford, including what was then a major upset over No. 1 USC.

Little did he know that it would all come to an end for him not because he got laid out by a blitzing linebacker or pancaked by two defensive linemen. He suffered a career ending injury just lifting weights. Nunes was working out on bench press according to his Dad--a normal off-season workout--when the weight came crashing down on his chest causing a complete tear of his right chest muscle. “The injury shouldn’t have happened and we’re not sure why it happened,” Tim Nunes (Josh's Dad) said. “It’s not something that could’ve been prevented. Doctors told us it’s rare for quarterbacks. Just a freak accident.” The injury is one that he could come back from, but takes about 12 months after surgery to do so. Rather than risk further injury he has opted to retire from the game instead.

The Cardinal’s running back proved this season that he was capable of maintaining his level of play even without Andrew Luck at QB. While he isn't exceptional in any one facet of the game, he is technically sound, and well rounded. Taylor is possibly the safest back in this class due to his ability to not only pass protect, but to catch the football, which will make him invaluable on third downs.

The 6-foot-8, 260-pound Toilolo is Atlanta's first offensive player of the draft after the team used its first three picks for defensive help. Toilolo will have a chance to be mentored by veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez, who put off his retirement plans to return for the 2013 season. Toilolo had 24 catches for 393 yards and four touchdowns in 2012. He had 10 career touchdown catches. The big tight end was the Falcons' first of four compensatory picks on Saturday, including three in the seventh round.

Falcons finally get a developmental tight end who sat behind Zach Ertz last year but still managed almost 400 yards and 4 touchdowns last year.  Russ Lande loved Toilolo's blocking and thought some teams may consider him as a tackle.  He is definitely a project and raw as a blocker and pass catcher, he remains a very athletic tight end with great size.

At least two of them, in fact: Ty Montgomery and Michael Rector. After losing his top tight ends and wide receivers, Hogan's new targets showed off a vertical passing game that has been sorely lacking on The Farm. Both caught touchdown passes from Hogan before the defense rallied for a 40-34 victory over the offense in the annual Cardinal & White Game on Saturday. The defense received points depending on where it stopped the offense on the field. ''They made me look good,'' said Hogan, who threw for 170 yards and two touchdowns. ''In the end, this was just a reward for all the hard work we put in this spring session. I think we got a lot better as an offensive unit, receivers and tight ends. I thought we really grew together in this session.''

The program is built on high academic standards and they do things a little bit differently than others. So it should come as little surprise that Stanford's Rose Bowl rings may not have all the shine and luster that their Pac 12 North rivals from Oregon received last season. A photo of Stanford's 2013 Rose Bowl championship rings has surfaced through the Internet and shows a very classic, perhaps simple design reminiscent of a high school or college class ring. Nothing too big or shiny here, although these rings are not exactly on the cheap we would guess. Take a look... Via Imgur You will see on one side the record of 12-2, which Stanford accumulated and padded with a Pac 12 Championship Game and Rose Bowl victory. On the other side we see the Rose Bowl logo and the name of Sanford, for quarterbacks and receivers coach Mike Sanford (it's not a typo, as a quick glance might lead the eye to believe)....

Well, ESPN’s Heather Cox was besides herself when Stanford Cardinal head coach David Shaw was pulled away by Rose Bowl officials as the interview was taking place following Stanford’s 20-14 win over Wisconsin. I am sure executives at ESPN are going to give the Rose Bowl a finger-wagging, as this is pretty much standard procedure. But still funny nonetheless.

The sudden level of interest comes as no surprise to Gardner given his team's next opponent. "I heard from a lot of people that I haven't heard from in a while," Gardner told reporters Thursday. "Everybody's fired up about the chance for me to play Wisconsin." None more so than Gardner himself. Gardner, you see, grew up in Mequon, Wis., just 90 miles east of Wisconsin's campus in Madison, and dreamed of someday wearing the Badgers' cardinal and white colors. He watched Wisconsin on television every Saturday during the fall and attended a few games each season. He became a first-team all-state defensive end at Homestead High School and figured the Badgers would make for a perfect match. Instead, Wisconsin offered Gardner a preferred walk-on position with no scholarship, while one of Gardner's h Fri, 28 Dec 2012 00:45:40 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/stanford_de_gardner_is_wisconsin_native/12523528 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/stanford_de_gardner_is_wisconsin_native/12523528 Stanford DE Gardner is Wisconsin native http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/stanford_de_gardner_is_wisconsin_native/12523528 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png
