Welcome! You have entered [Sports 620 KTAR] at 9:19 am

 [jemeser] 9:20 am: Looking forward to a tough fought game this Sunday

in Carolina. Give us some insight as toi what the linemen have to do for

AZ to push the ball ove the goaline.

[WOLF] 9:20 am: Welcome, brothers and sisters of the Basin.

Proceed…

 [jemeser] 9:22 am: This looks like it will be a better game than Dallas

was. Some good old fashioned physical battles in the trenches.

 [cardswinontheroad] 9:22 am: Wolf… Carolina looks awfully good at

home. We did have the bye week to get healthy, how are you feeling

about the trip?

[WOLF] 9:22 am: Of which game do you speak, my friend?

 [Turambar] 9:23 am: Perhaps he is refering to the Cardinals matchup?

[WOLF] 9:23 am: The odds don’t look good. Teams from the West

traveling East are 0-12 in 2008!

 [Cardsfan50] 9:24 am: Carolina won yesterday, so maybe they won’t be

as hyngry for a win.

[jemeser] 9:24 am: Will arriving there early to prepare give a better

chance then it did on the last road trip (more familiarity with the

process)?

[Dino] 9:24 am: Quick question Wolf - What do you think, were the

Rams that good or was Dallas that bad in their matchup on Sunday?

[cardswinontheroad] 9:24 am: There is no getting around the travel but

can’t the NFL do something about this many West to East trips.

[WOLF] 9:24 am: I’m glad Carolina beat New Orleans! This will be

a great litmus test for the Cards.

 [WOLF] 9:25 am: Dallas was that bad on Sunday. Brad Johnson

looked like he never played in the league before.

[Cardsfan50] 9:26 am: Are the Cards leaving early or doing anything

special?

 [WOLF] 9:26 am: The NFL should schedule any west to east trip

for a 4:oo pm start. That would give west coast teams a better

chance.

[Dino] 9:26 am: My thoughts exactly - I know I’m looking ahead but how

do you see the Red Birds faring agianst the Rams in St. Louis

[WOLF] 9:26 am: The Cards are leaving on Friday as they have on

every east-coast trip.

[WOLF] 9:27 am: The cardinals are a team in bloom, right now.

They are a mystery and only time (and road games) will

determine how good they’re going to be in 2008.

 [jemeser] 9:29 am: With regard to starting the games latter in the East

time zone because the West coast teams have done so poorly this

seaon. Is this a new phenomena? Has the west team traveling to the

east really dione that badly for the past oh, say 5 decades?

[WOLF] 9:29 am: Playing at home is like leading the band in the

parade. Playing on the road is like following the elephants in the

parade with a shovel.

 [Cardsfan50] 9:29 am: LOL, good analogy Wolf

[cardswinontheroad] 9:30 am: It seems that West Coast teams are have

to travel to the East Coast more than ever before for this year. It won’t

be like this next season.

[WOLF] 9:30 am: I can’t say for certain, but I do know how tough it

was when I played. Traveling back East meant trying to sleep at

7:00 pm and getting up at 4:00 am (Pacific time)

 [phxsunsfan] 9:32 am: Hey Doug….what is an “insepid” gonad &

“french” uppercut

[WOLF] 9:32 am: Whatever the schedule, a policy should be

adopted where any team traveling East should play at 4.

[jemeser] 9:32 am: Any thoughts on the regular season expanding to 18

games?

[WOLF] 9:33 am: I am Wolf, not Doug-leese. Insipid-dull, without

flavor. French Uppercut deals with an attack on one’s cradle.

[Cardsfan50] 9:33 am: Thankfully, playing later in the day did not help

Seattle last night.

[jemeser] 9:33 am: Would they take away one or two preseason

games? Expand the rosters?

[WOLF] 9:33 am: I think it’s going to happen but I believe it is still

2-3 years away.

 [jemeser] 9:34 am: Make it part of the collecting barganing chip to

entice the players to keep from a work stoppage?

[WOLF] 9:34 am: They would take away preseason games. The

rosters would remain. The question becomes, how much more do

players get and how is the revenue going to be shared.

[phxsunsfan] 9:34 am: Thx for answer….do you think Hines will get fined

for yesterday’s hit?

 [WOLF] 9:35 am: He should not be fined. I am growing tired of the

player-safety policy in the NFL. Although I am all for player

safety, it’s not a safe game.

 [eyeshield21] 9:37 am: Hey Wolf do you think the Cards will start off

sluggishly again on the east coast or do you have any indication that

they will come out well oiled against the Panthers?

 [jemeser] 9:37 am: This game was my passion in the 70’s and 80’s but

rule changes have changed the dynamics of the game. I still love it, but

do you believe it is the game it was back when you played?

[Bloodsport] 9:38 am: Wolf….will the Cards win 10 games?

[WOLF] 9:38 am: I think this team is growing. They are in the

process of discovering if they’re a good team. The road remains

the only hurdle. Having said that, I think they’ll play very well in

Carolina.

[WOLF] 9:39 am: It is not the same game. They punishment for not

paying attention is being weeded out of the game.

[WOLF] 9:40 am: I think the Cards are going to win 10-games and

win the division. That has been my prediction from day-one.

[eyeshield21] 9:41 am: The Rams seem to be responding to their new

coach. Do you think that the Rams have turned it around or is Dallas

really just not that good?

[WOLF] 9:42 am: I think the Rams are playing better because

Linehan was not popular in the locker room. But Dallas has just

gone in the tank. They are a soft football team.

[Sensei11] 9:42 am: Good morning my fellow not-so-young cronk

brother…What is the latest prognosis on Boldin’s return?

[jemeser] 9:42 am: Thanks Wolf. Great to talk with you!

 [WOLF] 9:43 am: I am going over to the facility after this chat. I’ll

have a full report on tomorrow’s show.

 [cardswinontheroad] 9:43 am: Will Dallas recover in that tough division?

 [Sensei11] 9:44 am: I was very impressed with the way that the defense

played against Dallas, do you think that the Cardinals will maintain that

level of play?

 [WOLF] 9:44 am: Dallas is just too good to not make the playoffs.

Don’t count them out yet.

[eyeshield21] 9:44 am: Is their any word that the Cards will be staying

out east again for this road trip? I think it was a good idea on the first

one.

 [WOLF] 9:45 am: If the defense balls like it did against Dallas, this

team will become a viable alternative to the favorites in the NFC.

 [WOLF] 9:46 am: It is time for me to go, my friends. I’ll see you

next week at 9:15. Peace, and remember, the true measure of a

man can be found in his capacity to love. Spartans, prepare for

glory!

 [eyeshield21] 9:46 am: thank you wolf

 [admin] 9:46 am: Thank you for joining Wolf’s Chalkboard Chat and we

will see you next week.

[Sensei11] 9:46 am: Great talking with you - have a Zen day…
