Camp and Injurey report
We know about Oliver Ross RT - probably 10 weeks, definately not good
Rolandu Cantu - OL 10 weeks - but a backup / practice squad guy - not too significant, but it does does take away depth
Kenny King - hand again. I can't beleive it - this guy ahs missed 3 years in a row now. Not a good feeling for him I'm sure. Although he has collected a paycheck for 3 years sitting on the couch. Word is, his agent wants to file a grievence because the Cardinals made him practice with a soft cast on, thereby causing his 3rd injurey. I know - it confuses me too. But, as I understand football contracts - he was hurt with a football injuery, so he will be paid all year on IR. THis is the last year of his contract, so he will be gone anyways.
Karlos Dansby - OLB - word is coach is really getting down on him. I think Green is trying to mess with his head to get him back early. The way I see it - it's just pre-season, Dansby knows how to play, it is giving Calvin Pace more time to learn a new position. Dansby only has a broken thumb - if it was regular season , I would be all over Dansby, but right now - let it heal the right way.
Matt Leinart - My prediction, when the kid really does sign - he will get hurt and miss significant more time. Not good.
GOOD NOTES
Word is Antrell Rolle is performing very well at camp. Making plays every day.
Edgerrin James is really talking it up and helping the o-line.
Calvin Pace is doing good -
The D-line as a whole is performing
Shipp is working on special teams and perfing to a high level, also looking very good at RB
John Navarre is looking good, just working on realeasing the ball sooner
Bad Notes
Fred Wakefield is not performing that well as replacement to Oliver Ross at RT
Duece Lutui is struggling, but that is expected for a rookie
The offense is struggling getting plays in on time, but performing well for a first week
