It was a very disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at University of Phoenix Stadium today.  The Cards jumped out to a 7-0 lead early on Max Hall’s first career touchdown.  The Bucs and Cards traded scores all game until Tampa Bay jumped out to a seemingly insurmountable 31-14 lead late in the 3rd quarter.  [...]

Beanie Wells Will Start in Place of Hightower this Sunday

Beanie Wells will get his first career start this Sunday in place of the fumble stricken Tim Hightower.  Here’s the full coverage by Darren Urban.

OLB Clark Haggans is Doutbful for This Sunday

It’s looking increasingly less likely that Clark Haggans will play against the Buccaneers this Sunday.  Haggans injured his groin (an alarmingly frequent injury for the Cardinals this year) last week against Seattle.  Haggans is the only player that has completely sat out of practice this week. In his stead, Will Davis is expected to get [...]

Hall or Anderson: A Sabremetric-Based Approach
