Welcome! You have entered [Sports 620 KTAR] at 9:17 am
[pateewack] 9:18 am: Hey, Wolf…it’s Brother Murph…just a few
comments about yesterday’s game, then I’ll let everyone else make
their comments…1st, great game after about 6 minutes into the second
quarter…quarterback sneak was questionable.  2nd, and I don’t want to
sound negative, but the punting game is wanting…the word was up
there, guys…but I’m not telling what it is…!!!  The Cards need help (not
drastically) on the right side of the O-line, and just a bit more at corner.
Wolf, take it away…
[eyeshield21] 9:18 am: morning wolf
[Adam] 9:18 am: So much for being one so wise….
[RASVEGAS] 9:18 am: Wolf…I hope the coffee wasn’t scalding hot!
[ewoedl] 9:18 am: Wolf  tell Yoda to do his d a m n  job and put up  the
OT word of the day
[eyeshield21] 9:19 am: yeah poor wolf and his coffee burn
[ewoedl] 9:19 am: hahaha
[Adam] 9:19 am: meet George Jetsen…
[jemeser] 9:19 am: Good to see the Cards overcome their errors and
mistakes to get the road win. A good team may not always be flawless,
but needs to pick up the pieces, make plays and get the momentum
back to stay a good team and become a great team that is near
flawless.
[RASVEGAS] 9:19 am: I thought that music sounded familiar!
[WOLF] 9:19 am: Brother and Sisters…shall we?
[MikeT] 9:19 am: FIRE AWAY WOLF…!!!
[willy] 9:19 am: go 4 it
[Jericho] 9:19 am: We shall.
[ewoedl] 9:20 am: ARRRR!
[Mike W] 9:20 am: What was with the HORRIBLE play calling on the
Cards opening drive at the goal line???
[willy] 9:20 am: yumm
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: this cardinals offense is one step closer to being
complete now with a respectable running game
[ewoedl] 9:20 am: Raise the colors cptn
[RASVEGAS] 9:20 am: Wolf…do you think it would be a good idea to
use Hightower and Edge in certain situations?  As opposed to just
using Hightower?  Perhaps first down situations etc?
[WOLF] 9:21 am: Overcoming adversity was the best part of that
game. To not score on their first-possession and then give up an
80-TD was disheartening. But they overcame it.
[willy] 9:21 am: The platy should’ve gone to Tim 1 more time
[MikeT] 9:21 am: How much longer until we see Hightower as the
starter and Edge spelling Timmy???
[RASVEGAS] 9:21 am: Doesn’t Edge deserve to play at least a little
since he’s a distinguished veteran?
[willy] 9:21 am: I mean Play -
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: it was great coverage by Green, just a lucky
catch by the unknown St Louis receiver
[STDS] 9:21 am:
[Adam] 9:21 am: ha ha ha haha
[Jericho] 9:21 am: Hightower seems to be a more North/South runner
than does Edge at this point in their careers.
[pateewack] 9:21 am: That touchdown was freakish…catching it by
pinning against the defenders back…
[Mike W] 9:22 am: True but against a better opponent you can’t let
those opportunities get away from you.
[WOLF] 9:22 am: Hightower will continue to start as long as he is
producing.
[Blackmaverik] 9:22 am: No one deserves to play, you must earn it
[RASVEGAS] 9:22 am:
[pateewack] 9:22 am: Ron, what do you think of the punting situation?
Looks kinda shaky
[taz99] 9:22 am: Wolf are you pumped up for Monday night football in
the basin?
[WOLF] 9:22 am: Edge needs to understand that production is
what matters in the Big Boy League and he does.
[eyeshield21] 9:22 am: What a steal though, a 5th round pick with now
7 reushing touchdowns
[RASVEGAS] 9:23 am: I think we’re very lucky to have him.  Wasn’t he
a 5th round, non-combine pick?
[ewoedl] 9:23 am: Does this mean the Cards will really have a balnaced
O from now on?
[willy] 9:23 am: Hey Wolf, If the Cards have a MONUMENTAL
BREAKDOWN Monday Night, will we see WHissy have a DEnnis
Green Moment?
[eyeshield21] 9:23 am: i wouldnt say balanced, but a more complete
attack
[Blackmaverik] 9:23 am: We shall see
[Adam] 9:23 am: Hey Wolf what do you think of DRC’s development so
far, outside of the bone head suplex yesterday and getting burned by
Holt on the second TD?
[Jericho] 9:23 am: Hightower has earned the position over Edge at this
point.  It was a joy to see him hitting the hole with authority instead of
blading his body sideways.
[RASVEGAS] 9:23 am: Here comes my boss!!!!!!!!!  Bye
[WOLF] 9:24 am: Dirk Johnson hasn’t punted well but he is
Rackers’s holder. We don’t want to make a change there just
when Rackers is starting to kick the ball well again.
[pateewack] 9:24 am: OK…maybe an off-season concern?
[eyeshield21] 9:24 am: DRC thought Holt was still inbounds and
decided to german suplex him, cost us for a TD though… i expect DRC
to get a talk at practice
[Blackmaverik] 9:24 am: Thank goodness, we will need Racker’s in the
coming weeks
[ewoedl] 9:24 am: Its amazing what fixing a sport hernia will do for a
kicker !
[MikeT] 9:24 am: Is it really that difficult to be a holder - I would think a
good week in practice and spending some quality time you can work
out the holding situation….
[WOLF] 9:25 am: Did anyone notice how explosive Hightower is
when getting to the second-level? He doesn’t have third-level
speed but nobody gets to the second-level faster.
[willy] 9:25 am: they were who we thought they who we thought they
were!
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: Hightower of Power reads the hole quickly and
just keeps churning the motor, what a great find
[willy] 9:25 am: SWEEEET!
[jemeser] 9:25 am: After the Cards beat down the 49ers on Monday
night the rest of the country will start to realize how good they can be.
And if they also beat down the Seahwks, it will set the stage for a large
national audience when they host the NYG and go to PHI.
[ewoedl] 9:25 am: Will the third level develop WOLF?
[willy] 9:25 am: WOOOOOOWWWW!
[MikeT] 9:26 am: I loved the burst speed to the hole and through - that
is why I am excited to see him start vs. 49ers
[pateewack] 9:26 am: Well guys, gotta split…for those who missed the
OT Word of the Day, its…wait, my keyboard is on fire…I can’t type
anymore…sorry!  And those jukes Hightower made on that 30 yard run
were awesome…you’re right about the difference between the 2nd and
3rd level, Wolf…
[Jericho] 9:26 am: YES!  Hightower really ran well.  Edge just doesn’t
seem to have it anymore.  He seems tentative to me.
[WOLF] 9:26 am: Kickers are a fickle bunch, my friend. They like
to have complete confidence in their holder. And it isn’t as easy
as you might think.
[eyeshield21] 9:26 am: Dirk Johnson is good at pinning opponents
inside the 10 though
[willy] 9:27 am: Wolf, Was the Dome really half full (emply) ?
[Adam] 9:27 am: I didnt think the kicking game was as bad as every is
making it out to be….. the biggest concern for me was the S T U P I D
Penalties
[eyeshield21] 9:27 am: Lutui is in year 3 of his penalty mode
[pateewack] 9:27 am: I’m more concerned about punting rather than
kick-offs, which is not a problem with me at all…
[WOLF] 9:27 am: The crowd at the dome was pathetic. It
reminded me of when I played in ST. Louis with the Cards!
[Blackmaverik] 9:27 am: Starting to get that good confident feeling again
when Racker’s kicks
[eyeshield21] 9:27 am: hahahaha
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: I saw a lot of Cardinals jerseys on tv for the game
[Blackmaverik] 9:28 am: Lot’s of Card’s Jerseys
[ewoedl] 9:28 am: Wolf  is the third gear of speed something that
Hightower will develop over time?
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: JJ Arrington is a real nice change of pace back
though, 62 yards on 6 carries
[WOLF] 9:28 am: The penalties situation has got to be fixed. You
can beat the Rams with 10-penalties but you can’t beat the
Giants, Eagles, Patriots with 10-penalties.
[MikeT] 9:28 am: Love Rackers as a kicker - but more as a man…I have
a great story to share someday about the man Neil Rackers…not the
kicker….a true man of his word…
[willy] 9:28 am: That’s too bad, … Maybe they need a new stadium like
we have and the Colts
[pateewack] 9:29 am: One last thing, and I’m out for good…Wolf, if you
ever stop doing the color analyst gig on the radio for the Cards, I’ll stop
listening to the games on the radio…you make the game so much more
entertaining.  Thanks for doing such a great job.  I’m out…
[Blackmaverik] 9:29 am: Yes, need to work on the discipline
[jemeser] 9:29 am: It was nice to see the Cards not play down to the
level of their competition.
[WOLF] 9:30 am: Hightower will never be a back that goes 80. You
pretty much are what you are by the time you get to the NFL and,
in Hightower’s case, that’s good enough for me!
[eyeshield21] 9:30 am: i liked the decision to go for it on 4th down…
just not a QB sneak in that situation however… shoulda just had
Hightower dive over the line
[Blackmaverik] 9:30 am: It was good to see them stick with the running
game though
[willy] 9:30 am: Has Leinhart made any public statements recently?
[WOLF] 9:30 am: Thanks for the props, my friend.
[MikeT] 9:31 am: Will Leinart be back next year - or will he be a trade
pawn during the draft?
[Blackmaverik] 9:31 am: Need to get Warner a new contract SOON!!!
[Adam] 9:31 am: Yeah I agree, I was dissapointed that they didnt punch
it in, but Whis was showing great faith in his O-Line running 4 straight
times in that scenario….
[willy] 9:31 am: Wolfisms are the best! Plz keep that feature on the
Pre-game!
[eyeshield21] 9:31 am: Why trade Leinart though when he will have
another year of studying the system Whisenhunt wants?
[WOLF] 9:31 am: Leinart has been quiet. It’s been tough on him
but it’s a lot easier to swallow when you got beat out by a former
MVP that’s having an MVP type season.
[ewoedl] 9:32 am: Good to talk with ya WOLF.  Have  good day all!
Leaving the room listining to the BANJOS!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Sensei11] 9:32 am: Do you think Rolle has turned the corner yet as far
as his consistency in his coverages, or was yesterday to soon to tell
(i.e., a fluke)?
[willy] 9:32 am: true
[eyeshield21] 9:32 am: besides, Leinart’s contract was front loaded and
now the backside of the salary is kicking in, he wont cost us much now
to keep him on the bench
[WOLF] 9:33 am: When you roll a team 34-13 in their building,
questioning a 4th down call early in a game is like picking scabs
on a severed arm, don’t you think?
[Jocwla] 9:33 am: Are they going to try to trade Edge after this season?
In that way get room to resign some players.
[Adam] 9:33 am: Touche!
[Blackmaverik] 9:33 am: Yep
[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: they wont trade edge, they will just cut him
[Sensei11] 9:33 am: Agreed…
[willy] 9:33 am: Hey Wolf, what’s the last CD / Band you listened to?
[Jericho] 9:33 am: Whoever plays quarterback has a great receiving
corps to work with.  Hopefully the Cards get a deal done with Bolden to
keep him here.
[MikeT] 9:34 am: I agree Wolf - although I did not agree with the call at
the time - it did prove something to me…that was they were able to
stand up to adversity and work through the issues…
[WOLF] 9:34 am: Antrelle Rolle is making progress as a safety. But
his tackling is still a BIG concern of mine. Having said this, it was
much better yesterday than it has been.
[willy] 9:34 am: Wolf, The roof should be OPEN Monday night right?
[Sensei11] 9:34 am: Thanks Wolf…
[Blackmaverik] 9:34 am: Weather Permitting
[Adam] 9:34 am: Darren Urban had a lil blog a week or so ago on the
Cards website saying there is still hope to get a deal done with
Boldin….Comprable to the Tillman situation in Chi-town, he said he was
done etc etc with the bears and he just signed a new deal….. there is
still hope
[eyeshield21] 9:34 am: good teams seem to get the good breaks.
Jerehme Urban got a wonderful gift that should have been an
interception. Are we starting to be recognized as a good team by the
football gods?
[WOLF] 9:35 am: I hope they keep the roof open. Warner likes it
shut and Whiz likes it shut for the noise.
[willy] 9:35 am: Niiice!
[eyeshield21] 9:35 am: the noise is much louder with the roof closed
[Adam] 9:36 am: I am sorry I think it was Lance Briggs actually not
Tillman
[willy] 9:36 am: OPEN definately! It will still be extremely loud! The fans
will be pumped!
[Jericho] 9:36 am: Well, the Cards finally have a home-field advantage
with the new stadium.  I guess it’s their call on the roof.
[eyeshield21] 9:36 am: yeah it was briggs
[WOLF] 9:36 am: If the stadium is louder with the roof shut, do you
guys still want it open?
[Sensei11] 9:36 am: Now that we have the home crowdf, why not make
the best use of the noise?
[eyeshield21] 9:36 am: i always enjoy the games more with the roof
closed
[willy] 9:37 am: Yes Open!
[MikeT] 9:37 am: SHUT THE ROOF!!!!!  WHY BREAK THE KARMA!!!
[eyeshield21] 9:37 am: but if we can win with the roof open, im down for
it being open
[Blackmaverik] 9:37 am: Trent Dilfer said this morning, The Cardinals
are for real!  No more a Joke
[Adam] 9:37 am: I dont care either way as long as it doesnt turn out the
way the last monday night game did
[eyeshield21] 9:37 am: this is a vastly different team than the one that
lost to the bears two years ago
[willy] 9:37 am: I like the call using Anquan as a RB.
[WOLF] 9:37 am: Why did you have to bring up last Monday Night?
[Adam] 9:37 am: Wow, after just lambasting the cards a few weeks
back before the Cowboys game on Colin Cowherd…. Wonder what Crow
taste like????
[Blackmaverik] 9:37 am: Not that his opinion really matters
[WOLF] 9:37 am: DOH!!!!!!
[eyeshield21] 9:38 am: coaching is by far superior than the dennis
green regime
[willy] 9:38 am: They were who we thought they were!
[MikeT] 9:38 am: Good point…why bring that up….this is a different
team…far better if you ask me…
[eyeshield21] 9:38 am: however the roof was open on that monday night
game…
[Adam] 9:39 am: Because it happened, and a lot of the same players
are still on this team….. I would bet they have not forgotten….
[eyeshield21] 9:39 am: players yes, coach is different though
[eyeshield21] 9:39 am: coach whiz will do what needs to be done to win
[eyeshield21] 9:39 am: i.e. Edge
[eyeshield21] 9:39 am: and Kurt
[Sensei11] 9:39 am: That and the dynamic is vastly improved with this
current team…
[Adam] 9:39 am: Actually, that WAS NOT the last monday game, the
last mon night game was ANOTHER embarrasment to the niners to
start the season last year, and I gurantee they have not forgot that
[eyeshield21] 9:39 am: plus we have depth
[Blackmaverik] 9:39 am: This team is NOT that team, We will CRUSH
the Niners in front of the nation next Monday night!
[WOLF] 9:39 am: If the cards beat SF on MNF and Kurt Warner rips
it up, the national media will start comparing the Cardinals to
The Greatest Show on Turf…mark my words.
[eyeshield21] 9:40 am: i agree
[Sensei11] 9:40 am: As do I!
[eyeshield21] 9:40 am: Kurt is on par with his 1999 MVP superbowl
numbers
[willy] 9:40 am: If SF makes any stupid decisions on the field,
Singletary will start sending them to the SHOWERS! Advantage CARDS!
[Adam] 9:40 am: And yes this IS a different team….35-14 almost
Identical to yesterdays game….. less mistakes….same outcome…
[pateewack] 9:40 am: We need to trade Fitzgerald…he dropped 2
passes yesterday…disgraceful…
[Jericho] 9:40 am: Marked.
[eyeshield21] 9:40 am: lol pate
[eyeshield21] 9:41 am: good thing people like that arent the decision
makers
[MikeT] 9:41 am: I think you are right on the mark WOLF!!!
[Blackmaverik] 9:41 am: LOL!! Yes
[Adam] 9:41 am: Tell that to the Raiders Eyeshield…… HA HA HA HA
HA HA…..
[eyeshield21] 9:41 am: wofley gets the FUSHAW!!!
[eyeshield21] 9:41 am: -2 yards for the half… raiders are… wow
[pateewack] 9:41 am: And the howl
[eyeshield21] 9:42 am: 77 total yards for the game
[WOLF] 9:42 am: You guys are crackin’ me up! I have to go now,
my friends. God Bless and I’ll see you here next week. Same
time, same channel…er…you know what I mean.
[eyeshield21] 9:42 am: that is just… ouch
[Sensei11] 9:42 am: Even Super-Fitzgerald gets exposed to a little
Kryptonite from time-to-time…
[eyeshield21] 9:42 am: bye wolf!
[Blackmaverik] 9:42 am: Later Wolf
[pateewack] 9:42 am: take care, wolf
[MikeT] 9:42 am: Thanks WOLF….FUSHA!!!
[Jericho] 9:42 am: God bless, Wolf!
[Sensei11] 9:42 am: Have a great one Wolf, thanks again…
[willy] 9:42 am: Shouldn’t it be the greatest show on grass? C-ya
WOLF! Thanx!
[eyeshield21] 9:42 am: FUSHAW!!!
