[ndarus] 9:05 am: I did not know it
[mwelch0428@cox.net] 9:05 am: Wolf - your singing led ESPNs First
Take interview with JJ Arrington a few minutes ago on ESPN2!!!
[WOLF] 9:06 am: The Cardinals have suddenly turned into a
battle-tested playoff team, capable of running the football and
stopping the run. Can you feel that?

[sandy] 9:06 am: Surreal. Still takin it all in!!
[ndarus] 9:06 am: ya it is a rummbling and a bumbling in my stomach
right now
[jeepjim] 9:07 am: I am so proud to be a Phoenix Cardinals
Fan……there’s one thing we need however……A TROPHY CASE!
[ndarus] 9:07 am: lol yep now w do need a trophy case
[big red 43 09] 9:07 am: do you thinks the cards can be competitive
against the steelers i want them to win so bad and i think they have a
good chance
[patricia] 9:07 am: HI Wolf!  Great game yesterday!
[saintchad] 9:07 am: the 2 week break is a killer, i want the steelers
right now
[lumberjacks8] 9:07 am: We could not be happier.  We got a letter on
Saturday from the Cardinals that we have tix for the game!  See you in
Tampa Wolf.
[ndarus] 9:07 am: look at all the penalties given to the steeelrs verses
the cards
[WOLF] 9:08 am: How about Whiz going for it on 4th & 1 with
8-minutes to go in the game! Was that incredible?

[ndarus] 9:08 am: penalties willl be the factor
[WeDidTHISTogether] 9:08 am: Was AWESOME!
[zilla21] 9:08 am: that was awesome!
[fatlady] 9:08 am: The Defense REALLY reponded after the Int/Lost
Fumble to just give up a FG. That was huge!
[saintchad] 9:08 am: stones the size of boulders
[rstreeb] 9:08 am: The Red Sea definetly “rose up” yesterday!
[ndarus] 9:08 am: He is coach of th year easily
[sandy] 9:08 am: No guts No glory!!
[patricia] 9:08 am: I was amazed and never prayed so much during a
football game!
[big red 43 09] 9:08 am: that’s what championship teams are made of
[Jericho] 9:08 am: I made that call. I told my buddy they HAD to go for it
at that point.  I love the guts Whiz shows!
[fatlady] 9:08 am: great call by WHIZ!
[patricia] 9:09 am: So does the wife get to go to Tampa with you?
[TychoAZ] 9:09 am: That call on 4th and 1 is exactly why we brought
Coach Wiz to Arizona.  Don’t forget that he knows the Steelers system;
it could be a huge advantage to us in the Super Bowl
[Redskins Preston] 9:09 am: only if she pays her own way
[ndarus] 9:09 am: true whiz has the advantage easily
[zilla21] 9:09 am: that’s just wrong!
[WOLF] 9:09 am: I will be taking the Beautiful Miss Stephanie and
Savannah Shea with me to Tampa!

[big red 43 09] 9:09 am: but in the same respect alot of those guys
played for whiz it goes both ways
[WeDidTHISTogether] 9:10 am: Wiz drew up schemes agains Le
Beau….gotta like our chances but already a 6 1/2 point dogs…..but we
OWN the underdog role!
[ndarus] 9:10 am: ya but they did not have warner, fitz, and a great
defense
[fatlady] 9:10 am: The beach will be fun!
[Redskins Preston] 9:10 am: daughters can stay at the Motel 6 for free
!!!
[patricia] 9:10 am: She is a lucky woman.  What do you think their
chances are ?
[saintchad] 9:10 am: Haley vs. Labeau, great battle
[lumberjacks8] 9:10 am: any bonus codes today would help
[Jericho] 9:10 am: As THE voice of the Cards on the radio and as a
former player I say TAKE THE RING!  :^)
[patricia] 9:11 am: Will this become a new chapter in the book you are
writing?
[zilla21] 9:11 am: TAKE THE RING!  Or you can give it to me.
[fatlady] 9:11 am: the last Super Bowl in Tampa, The Ravens killed the
Giants.
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:11 am: Wolf, what are the chances the Cards
have to win? the Steelers are tough, especially Polamalu.
[ross.tucker@cox.net] 9:11 am: WOLF…why do you think that
Kurt/Haley stopped going to Fitz and Edge in the 3rd quarter?  That was
scary my brutha!!!
[fatlady] 9:11 am: I think that Anquan is pissed!
[patricia] 9:12 am: Wolf, will you include this experience in your book?
[ndarus] 9:12 am: I hope Anquan is pissed he needs to go somewhere
else after this year we have a wonderful arsenal of talent.
[zilla21] 9:12 am: what happened with Q?  i didn’t know anything about
that until i got home and saw it on tv.
[ross.tucker@cox.net] 9:12 am: Yeah…Anquan wasn’t happy was he?
He didn’t get the ball much.
[Redskins Preston] 9:12 am: what can they do that the Steelers won’t
expect??  SOmething that will really take the Steelers out of their
game??????
[fatlady] 9:12 am: The Cards offense really took advantage of the Eagles
aggressivness!
[azffm] 9:12 am: I wonder what Q said to Haley.  Cause you read
Haleys lip saying Don’t call me that, Don’t call me that!
[ndarus] 9:12 am: play defense is what they need to do
[ndarus] 9:12 am: and sack roth like a million times
[brutusjoe] 9:12 am: what did happen with haley and boldin on the
sidelines wolf?
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:12 am: I about had a heart attack when the
Cards looked like they were going to give the game away yesterday.
Thank God they stood their ground and won. I am excited beyond belief.
[saintchad] 9:13 am: they definitely need to get in Big Ben’s kitchen
[TychoAZ] 9:13 am: With 2 weeks to get ready, I think Q will be a much
bigger factor in the SB
[ndarus] 9:13 am: Boldin got pulled and did not like it
[ross.tucker@cox.net] 9:13 am: I bet he wanted the ball and he wasn’t
getting it.
[brutusjoe] 9:13 am: that was obvious but what ahppened after
[patricia] 9:13 am: but he wasn’t what the game needed!!!
[big red 43 09] 9:13 am: i think Q will be having a career game against
the steelers
[Gary] 9:13 am: Time to start gathering everyone together for Superbowl
in AZ?  U of PHX Stadium or Chase Field on the Big Screen?
[Philly2Phx] 9:14 am: Why did the Cards keep trying to run up the
middle? Was that just to psych them out for the pass?
[saintchad] 9:14 am: Q will be playing for dollars
[ndarus] 9:14 am: I think fitz will have another big game
[ross.tucker@cox.net] 9:14 am: Big screen…good idea.  I hope they do
it!
[patricia] 9:14 am: he just make any big plays.  i don’t know if it was the
hamstring or just that they had him covered, but he couln’t do anything.
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:14 am: Q isn’t T.O. Sure, he wanted to be
part of the action, but I think he was upset cuz the coaching staff
wanted to keep him out for the sake of his hammy.
[ndarus] 9:14 am: Larry Larry Larry Larry Larry
[ndarus] 9:14 am: He was covered very closely
[ross.tucker@cox.net] 9:14 am: That’s a good thought mnir
[WOLF] 9:15 am: Let me just say that screaming matches between
players and coaches are not uncommon. I will find out what
happened and let you know. But don’t sweat a screaming
match…they happen.

[zilla21] 9:15 am: good point
[fatlady] 9:15 am: Fitz is better than TO, Moss or anyone else!
[ndarus] 9:15 am: that is a good thought
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:15 am: We don’t allow prima donnas here in
AZ.
[ndarus] 9:15 am: Fitz is the bomb sha bomb
[patricia] 9:15 am: Wolf, are you still out there?????
[Redskins Preston] 9:15 am: guess the Cards were sandbagging their
last 6 reg season games
[ross.tucker@cox.net] 9:15 am: If they beat the Steelers and Anquan is
a big part of that, then that will be a good call
[azffm] 9:15 am: Thats for sure! L FITZ is da bomb
[zilla21] 9:15 am: Is an MVP picked in an NFC Championship game?
[brutusjoe] 9:15 am: maybe he can channel the anger and use against
the steelers
[saintchad] 9:15 am: Wolf, isn’t it great the Cards will be playing for the
Championship at the home of the Pirates
[saintchad] 9:15 am: ARRRRRRRRRRR
[TychoAZ] 9:16 am: That screen pass to Timmy for the last TD was one
of the gutsiest calls I’ve ever seen
[WOLF] 9:16 am: I have to leave, my friends. I have a meeting.
God Bless you guys! Stay together and don’t get bent.

[brutusjoe] 9:16 am: lol
[patricia] 9:16 am: Wolf, do they get rings for winning the NFC
championship?
[ndarus] 9:16 am: I don’t like the safe play the cards played in the third
quarter playing halfway though.  They need to play 100%
[ross.tucker@cox.net] 9:16 am: YOu too bro!
[ndarus] 9:16 am: Later Wolf
[fatlady] 9:16 am: Could someone help me out with the 5:50AM Word of
the Day?
[ndarus] 9:17 am: Tampa
[Gary] 9:17 am: Me too was listening and missed it
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:17 am: The defense is going to be key if
we’re going to make it to the Promise Land. We have to shut down Big
Ben and stomp those Steelers down at the line of scrimmage.
[lumberjacks8] 9:17 am: did anyone get the  overtime bonus code???
[Gary] 9:17 am: Thnks
[fatlady] 9:17 am: thanks a lot indarus!
[Gary] 9:17 am: FITZ
[ndarus] 9:17 am: We need to sack him a million times
[ndarus] 9:17 am: Bruise and batter  Roth
[ndarus] 9:18 am: Fitz
[ndarus] 9:18 am: yw fatlady
[lumberjacks8] 9:18 am: Thx
[ndarus] 9:18 am: yw
[ndarus] 9:18 am: yw lumberjack
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:19 am: Fitz was da BOMB yesterday.
Edgerrin was great too. It’s about time we got a running game that did
something and kept us from being one dimensional.
[lumberjacks8] 9:19 am: anyone have the 10,000 bonus code for the
Aeron Chair???
[ndarus] 9:19 am: ya we will need to run
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:19 am: Hightower needs to step it up a notch
and quit trying to go up the middle.
[ndarus] 9:20 am: the outside worked great for the ravens and the inside
was hollow though.
[ndarus] 9:20 am: We need to do short throws and stay away from
polimolou
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:21 am: But the Steelers will not leave the
middle open, I know it. And Polamalu is too big a threat to just keep
throwing it.
[ndarus] 9:21 am: true running on first only is a good option but to the
outside with james or hightower
[ndarus] 9:22 am: and then short passes or crossovers are the key to
open players not doubled
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:22 am: Our offensive line better learn how to
make holes so our runners can get the long yardage.
[ndarus] 9:22 am: offensive line is the key to the game
[Gary] 9:23 am: Whisenhut should know Big Ben’s tendencys even if
Tomlin has changed the playbook
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:23 am: Yeah, but defense wins
championships.
[ndarus] 9:23 am: Warner will have to throw some balls away
[ndarus] 9:23 am: Yep good pressure on the quarterback
[Gary] 9:23 am: That should help the Defense
[ndarus] 9:23 am: time of possession is key too
[ndarus] 9:24 am: The faster the cards can get down the field the more
advantage verse the steelers who take long periods to get down field
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:24 am: Maybe, but the way Larry can catch
balls out of thin air, I don’t think we’ll have too many problems with that.
Plus having Q back at full strength will really help. Did anyone notice
that Breaston wasn’t in the game at all it seemed.
[ndarus] 9:25 am: I think it was for safety too
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:25 am: He’s young, let the kid play.
[ndarus] 9:25 am: He returns the ball on every kick off so they were
being safe for injury sake
[ndarus] 9:25 am: Who else would return the ball just as good as the kid
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:26 am: I vaguely seeing him return 1 or 2
kickoffs.
[ndarus] 9:26 am: He had around fourty yards in the game
[ndarus] 9:27 am: Using more than one player helped spread the
offensive including the line man on that 2 point conversion
[ndarus] 9:27 am: That is key also
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:27 am: What about Urban? He caught one
pass then nothing. He’s really stepped up his game in recent weeks.
[ndarus] 9:27 am: That is why fitz was so open on that touchdown.
[ndarus] 9:27 am: Urban caught a key pass
[ndarus] 9:27 am: so did boldin near the end of the game
[mnir1972@yahoo.com] 9:28 am: Gotta go. We’ll talk 2morrow. This
was fun.
[ndarus] 9:28 am: and important catches in the game matter
[ndarus] 9:28 am: talk to you then

[rbritt72] 8:58 am: What a game for DRC.
[edawg2203] 8:58 am: DRC!!!!
[eyeshield21] 8:59 am: ESPN calls it luck and weak team, not
domination lol
[WOLF] 8:59 am: Do you believe it?
[rbritt72] 8:59 am: MR. Shut down
[Jericho] 8:59 am: I must say, Wolf, I think I would take the ring.

penciling in Philly as the super bowl champs
[jeff w] 9:00 am: i cant believe you did not jump out of booth at end of
game to get to the field you were so excited
[hockynut35] 9:00 am: Your ring means something different than the
players, you should take it
[WOLF] 9:00 am: I cannot take the ring…I did nothing to earn the
right to wear it!

[charris4] 9:00 am: hey Wolf… DW Overtime not working today?
[eyeshield21] 9:00 am: you earned the mohawk!
[eyeshield21] 9:00 am: kool aid red mohawk!
[toma2] 9:00 am: OT was working
[krl08] 9:00 am: I wouldn’t take the ring either
[eyeshield21] 9:00 am: overtime is over, it worked
[edawg2203] 9:00 am: We want the mo hawk
[AZCardsKen] 9:00 am: We need the underdog role…..team has played
GREAT with it!
[rbritt72] 9:00 am: DW overtime was working for me.
[Renaissance Festival Preston] 9:00 am: HEY WOLF….is it true what
Letterman says about Cardinals????  That cardinals are the fiercest
robin-sized bird???
[jeff w] 9:00 am: with all the work you have done wolf…you DO deserve it
[eyeshield21] 9:00 am: mohawks and fooshaw shirts!
[Razorback] 9:00 am: Does the performance of the team the last two
weeks make the resigning of Q81 less likely?
[charris4] 9:00 am: crap… didnt work for me… used 2 different
computers even
[toma2] 9:01 am: Wolf get the Mohawk and sell advertising space on
the bald part of your head
[mikeyhaley] 9:01 am: You could be the new World of Warcraft
commercial with your mohawk wolf
[Jericho] 9:01 am: You have contributed to the long legacy that is the
Cardinals.  Did you ever take a player under your wing and assist him
with advice?
[charris4] 9:01 am: anyone want to share the OT word of the day for me?
[redsearising] 9:01 am: yeah I couldnt get into OT either
[AzRon13] 9:01 am: OT didn’t work for he either
[rbritt72] 9:01 am: Bring on the other BIRDS. Protect the NEST BOYS
[edwinj] 9:01 am: Is Fitz the best WR in the NFL?
[rbritt72] 9:01 am: YES
[eyeshield21] 9:02 am: i love Warner’s speech after the game, lets
shock the world!!!
[mikeyhaley] 9:02 am: Fitz is the best WR in the playoffs for sure and
probably in the league
[jeff w] 9:02 am: here is the new theme for sunday…..BATTLE OF THE
BIRDS
[WOLF] 9:02 am: the Cardinals are one game away from the
Super Bowl. World of Warcraft? Mohawk?
[AZCardsKen] 9:02 am: Underdogs ALL THE WAY!
[eyeshield21] 9:02 am: MOHAWK!
[edawg2203] 9:02 am: Mo Hawk
[Jericho] 9:02 am: Get the Mohawk!
[eyeshield21] 9:02 am: Karma wants the mohawk wolf
[hockynut35] 9:02 am: your roll as broadcaster has given a lot of insite
to the casual fan that are now hard core fans
[RUBENROMERO@MAIL.MARICOPA.GOV] 9:02 am: Cards are for
real.  Can’t we all just get a clue?
[eyeshield21] 9:02 am: otherwise you may jinx it
[WOLF] 9:03 am: The Cards need to be underdogs. The media
bashing them is the best thing that could happen.

[toma2] 9:03 am: I think DRC is one of the biggest changes in the team
in the last few weeks.  He is going to become an all pro
[mikeyhaley] 9:03 am: Ya ever see the commercial with Mr. T ?  He is
the Night Elf Mohawk.
[rbritt72] 9:03 am: Let’s get pass the other birds first before we start
talking superbowl and rings
[Nan] 9:03 am: The media is not bashing all THAT much!
[rohin] 9:03 am: I love all of docketts sarcastic remarks
[edawg2203] 9:03 am: Absolutely wolfe.  I want no respect
[AZCardsKen] 9:03 am: Absolutely…….we are the ultimate underdogs!!
GO CARDS!
[Nan] 9:03 am: Some have gotten on the bandwagon.
[eyeshield21] 9:03 am: the cardinals absolutely dominated, i love it
when they play angry
[krl08] 9:03 am: If season ticket holders sell their tickets to Eagles fans
they should have their ticket rights revoked!
[jeff w] 9:03 am: not enough credit given to D coordinator
[Nan] 9:03 am: NO GREEN THIS WEEKEND!
[AZCardsKen] 9:03 am: Amen Krl08
[rbritt72] 9:03 am: I agree
[redsearising] 9:04 am: dont get me started on tickets……. 500.00 for
nosebleeds on CL????
[jeff w] 9:04 am: ouch
[hockynut35] 9:04 am: The media is saying Deljhome had a bad day
and not giving the Cards credit for forcing those 6 turnovers
[mikeyhaley] 9:04 am: What trend are we going to start at the Game
sunday?  White out? Red out?  Something….
[eyeshield21] 9:04 am: capitalism at its best, fans selling tickets for
outrageous prices to whomever! gotta love a free trade market!
[charris4] 9:04 am: I guess that would be a no
[rbritt72] 9:04 am: I have a lot of friend that would love to go to the game
so send the tickets my way.
[redsearising] 9:04 am: thats the funny part, I’ll be the one buying them
near face value on Sat
[edawg2203] 9:04 am: I gave thought to selling my tickets for 2
seconds. There is no way in hell i’m selling them.  I need to see history
[AZCardsKen] 9:04 am: season ticket holder who locked in the
playoffs….cant find any extra seats!
[toma2] 9:04 am: I have to admit I was wondering what was wrong with
the defense  Scheme - Coordinator - players after the loss to NE but I
like what I see the last couple weeks
[WOLF] 9:05 am: Angry football is winning football. The skill
position players are the only players on the field where they
might have to temper their aggression, but the grunts, the contact
goons, they need to feed the pick!

[charris4] 9:05 am: DO NOT SELL TIX TO EAGLES FANS!!!!
[jeff w] 9:05 am: warner relizes you cannot throw every down
[Renaissance Festival Preston] 9:05 am: how about to Redskins fans??
[eyeshield21] 9:05 am: Wolf do you know what was wrong when the
oline kept tripping Warner on handoffs? Was it the field, tight formation??
[rbritt72] 9:05 am: I think we need to give the O line a hand. What a
great job.
[edwinj] 9:06 am: WOLF, I agree and its good to finally see the Cards
playing with intensity and desperation.
[jeff w] 9:06 am: GUARDS WERE IN TOO TIGHT ….SO WAS WARNER
[eyeshield21] 9:06 am: i love this us against the world mentality the
defense has been playing with
[WOLF] 9:06 am: Basinonians, I had dinner with Falcons LB, Kieth
Brooking, last Friday night. He told me UPS was the loudest
stadium he’s ever played in. He couldn’t get the signal in his ear
it was so loud!

[AZCardsKen] 9:06 am: WOLF The cards can own this town when we
win Sunday!  I have been flying flags for years but finally saw some
other ones this morning.
[redsearising] 9:07 am: you know its loud when you cant even hear your
own voice coming out of your mouth
[hockynut35] 9:07 am: The roof needs to stay closed!!
[edawg2203] 9:07 am: keep the roof closed
[krl08] 9:07 am: I lost my voice for 3 days
[rohin] 9:07 am: WOLF whats the D’s game plan vs Philly, man on the
wr’s and keep wilson up on the line of scrimmage?
[eyeshield21] 9:07 am: i believe the roof will be closed after the rockin
atmosphere against ATL
[WOLF] 9:07 am: Close the roof, indeed!
[rbritt72] 9:07 am: I have been a CARDS fan for 11 years since I came
to AZ and I can not wait for the game on Sunday.
[mikeyhaley] 9:07 am: This town is begging for a winning football team.
I think you will see the transplants changing colors with a win on Sunday
[jeff w] 9:07 am: WILL THE NFL TELL CARDS IF THEY CAN LEAVE
ROOF SHUT?
[bryanjhunt] 9:08 am: Born and Raised in Arizona all I can say is
FOOSHAW!
[eyeshield21] 9:08 am: today’s bandwagon fan is tomorrow’s diehard!
[eyeshield21] 9:08 am: the more the merrier
[WOLF] 9:08 am: No…it is the Cards decision whether the roof is
open or shut.

[edawg2203] 9:08 am: There’s plenty of room jump aboard
[AzRon13] 9:08 am: I think we should play Wolf’s fat lady singing during
all timeouts at the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[WOLF] 9:08 am: Fooshaw!
[jeff w] 9:08 am: NO BRAINER THAN CORRECT?
[krl08] 9:08 am: They have to leave it closed!
[eyeshield21] 9:08 am: i gotta tell ya, i loved seeing elton brown come
in at tight end during that stretch of Hightower runs in the 4th quarter
[eyeshield21] 9:09 am: they knew we were running and nothign could
stop us
[WOLF] 9:09 am: I regret the Fat Lady demonstration but the
moment swept me away!

[sportslikerguy] 9:09 am: Wolf: The special teams has been anything
but consistent this year.  How important is it this week that special
teams not only wins but dominates their area… and do you think they
can get that done?
[eyeshield21] 9:09 am: i regret nothing!
[rbritt72] 9:09 am: What does the Cards need to do, shut down the run
or the QB?
[edawg2203] 9:09 am: Where can I hear the fat lady singing
[AZCardsKen] 9:09 am: WOLF YOU ARE HUMAN!!! We all are
JACKED UP!!!  GREAT EMOTION!
[AzRon13] 9:09 am: You know Wolf, that will be played 50 years from
today…its classic
[eyeshield21] 9:09 am: i think the cards should do exactly the same,
focus on stopping the run and try to let the not so accurate arm of
mcnabb beat you
[jeff w] 9:09 am: STICK WITH WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN
DOING…..PLUG LANES AND NOT OVER PURSUE
[Jericho] 9:10 am: The Fat Lady was great!  Pure unadulterated emotion!
[sportslikerguy] 9:10 am: I have absolutely NO problem with your fat
lady singing… I actually heard it when ESPN late night show was
recapping games, they played audio of that
[krl08] 9:10 am: Contain Westbrook and make McNabb throw into the
secondary
[toma2] 9:10 am: I think if you shut down Westbrook it will give the
CARDS a great chance at the win
[eyeshield21] 9:10 am: after all McNabb had 2 picks in their game
yesterday
[sportslikerguy] 9:10 am: I definitely think Westbrook is the key
[edawg2203] 9:11 am: They are dangerous I’ not taking anything for
granted
[WOLF] 9:11 am: The Cards are gaining an identity on the
defensive side of the ball: shut down the run with 8 in-the-box,
pressure the QB with multiple blitzes and put DRC on your best
WR. This has them at +7 in the turnover column!

[eyeshield21] 9:11 am: DRC is gunna be an elite corner for years
[toma2] 9:11 am: That +7 is just amazing
[jeff w] 9:11 am: WILL THEY NEED TO SHADOW AS MUCH AS THEY
DID WITH CAROLINA
[rohin] 9:12 am: Are they gonna pass out more white towels, or should
we bring them from last week?
[eyeshield21] 9:12 am: bring em to the game!
[hockynut35] 9:12 am: Stick with whats working, Caralina knew what
they would do and they couldn’t stop it
[eyeshield21] 9:12 am: if anything youll have extras
[bulvaii] 9:12 am: lets just hope that DRC doesn’t get a big head lioke a
few other unmentionable corners
[Jericho] 9:12 am: I said 6 games ago that DRC was coming into his
own and was gonna be one heck of a player.
[edawg2203] 9:12 am: bring the towels just in case
[jeff w] 9:12 am: BRING RED AND WHITE TOWELS
[KozmoK] 9:12 am: Did ankarlo  get chopped up for dinner? havent
tuned in today yet
[rbritt72] 9:12 am: They need to get red towels to get a CARDS red out.
The BIG RED SEA need to fly
[krl08] 9:12 am: The media says the Eagles are a different team. They
must not be watching the Cards the last two weeks
[eyeshield21] 9:12 am: red towels cost a lot more i would think to mass
produce than white towels
[rohin] 9:12 am: The Red Cage of Death!
[AZCardsKen] 9:12 am: bidwells will get something fancy for that
game…..1st NFC CHampionship game in 20 years here!!!!!   Lets go
RED SEA!
[rbritt72] 9:13 am: Wolf, you need to make this happne. RED TOWELS
[krl08] 9:13 am: Red towels for sure
[bulvaii] 9:13 am: i tried getting tickets for the game as soon as I got
home about ten minutes after the eagles game ended. I had no idea it
would sell out so quick
[eyeshield21] 9:13 am: they blew up the website
[eyeshield21] 9:13 am: ticketmaster was down
[edawg2203] 9:13 am: 6 minutes wow
[jeff w] 9:13 am: MAYBE NOT…ALL THE FANS MAY THROW THEM
OUT TO CHALLENGE A REFS CALL
[KozmoK] 9:13 am: couldnt even get on the website
[eyeshield21] 9:13 am: 6 minute sell out, gotta love it
[bulvaii] 9:13 am: I thought it would take at least a day
[eyeshield21] 9:14 am: now you gotta go places like stub hub to get
your tix
[rbritt72] 9:14 am: Good point
[krl08] 9:14 am: Fox 10 reported that more tickets would be available
later this week but that is wrong I guess
[AZCardsKen] 9:14 am: problem is people buy the tickets to sell them
for 4-5X profit
[jeff w] 9:14 am: I KNOW I WOULD AT THE GAME OR AT HOME
WATCHING
[AZCardsKen] 9:14 am: sickening
[eyeshield21] 9:14 am: no worries of a black out this week!
[eyeshield21] 9:14 am: lol
[toma2] 9:14 am: NFL and Philly may release some tickets set aside
for them
[eyeshield21] 9:14 am: Philly has their allotment
[eyeshield21] 9:15 am: but that doesnt count against a sellout
[hockynut35] 9:15 am: more tix are being released Tuesday
[bulvaii] 9:15 am: what time exactly?
[AZCardsKen] 9:15 am: NOON…..
[eyeshield21] 9:15 am: i actually saw more Lions jerseys at the ATL
game than Falcons jerseys!
[hockynut35] 9:15 am: they said am
[rstreeb] 9:15 am: Collin Coward is picking the Eagles…what a
surprise…why does KTAR hang on to him.  I switch channels when he
comes on!
[eyeshield21] 9:15 am: because its ESPN radio
[bulvaii] 9:15 am: i hope everyone picks the cards
[eyeshield21] 9:15 am: ESPN is bashing the cards
[BrianC] 9:16 am: because he is the highest rated show in his time slot..
[bulvaii] 9:16 am: the more bashing the better
[eyeshield21] 9:16 am: pick against the cards, we play better!
[krl08] 9:16 am: let em the Cars love the underdog role
[bulvaii] 9:16 am: I am afraid of people believing in the cards, it cant help
[jeff w] 9:16 am: COWARD IS WAY TOO “ON THE FENCE”  FOR ME
[eyeshield21] 9:16 am: i love Docketts attitude
[rohin] 9:16 am: they media bashing has worked quite well thus far
[BrianC] 9:16 am: Eagles already a -3 favorite.. that is perfect for the
Cardinals.. need to keep the Us against the World mentality
[aodogui] 9:16 am: People are asking to much for tickets does anyone
know of a good spot to watch the game besides home?
[KozmoK] 9:16 am: strip clubs
[jeff w] 9:16 am: HOOTERS
[krl08] 9:17 am: Santisi’s on I17 and Bell
[eyeshield21] 9:17 am: any bar this week i would think would be rockin
[rbritt72] 9:17 am: BW3’s
[KozmoK] 9:17 am: I like santisis
[eyeshield21] 9:17 am: its cardinal fever!
[bulvaii] 9:17 am: do you really want trashy broads bugging you for
dances every five minutes while tryimng to see fitz pluck the ball out of
the air?
[rbritt72] 9:17 am: Wolf, are you out there?
[hockynut35] 9:17 am: RTO Sullivans
[eyeshield21] 9:17 am: Congrats on keeping the Pasch factor in check
Wolf!
[KozmoK] 9:17 am: I was thinking about during commercials
[bulvaii] 9:18 am: ok so what one is good to watch at
[KozmoK] 9:18 am: I know Rosie from RTO’s
[eyeshield21] 9:18 am: women?!?! i came to see sweaty men pound on
each other for 60 minutes! FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!
[edawg2203] 9:18 am: BOOOO kick the eagles guy out
[bulvaii] 9:18 am: exactly, I’d rather have 10 dudes who are rabid fans
than ten hot chicks to watch the game with
[ecaringo] 9:19 am: Who cares what the media predicts! the game is in
the field!
[aodogui] 9:19 am: good one eyeshield
[EAGLES FRANZ] 9:19 am: one at a time??
[edawg2203] 9:19 am: BOOOOOOO
[eyeshield21] 9:19 am: give me a big screen tv and some hotwings and
im set
[eyeshield21] 9:19 am: guys you should enter the raffle for the cards tix
[EAGLES FRANZ] 9:19 am: give me one of those brunettes to our right
[eyeshield21] 9:19 am: its so worth it
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: not only is it for cards tix, you get a backstage
pass to see the pre game workouts
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: i love the 620 rewards system!
[aodogui] 9:20 am: How about westgate?
[ecaringo] 9:20 am: Wolf, where are you! Getting your Mohawk?
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: westgate if you go early enough lol
[KozmoK] 9:21 am: dont want to get shot
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: Wolf is too choked up right now
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: god bless him!
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: that or someone brought donuts in
[Jericho] 9:21 am: Maybe Wolf is getting his Mohawk and sized for a
ring!  (Take the ring!)
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: take it!
[krl08] 9:21 am: real early over there the lots open at 9am
[aodogui] 9:22 am: is he singing again?
[edawg2203] 9:22 am: take the ring
[eyeshield21] 9:22 am: i would have no qualms with pimpin a super bowl
ring if i wasnt a player
[rbritt72] 9:22 am: Thanks for the chat WOLF
[WOLF] 9:22 am: Sorry, my brothers! The BIG CHEESE came
walking in and when that happens…I must step aside. Forgive
me!

[eyeshield21] 9:22 am: Wolf!!!! Where are ya buddy!!!
[eyeshield21] 9:22 am: there he is!
[eyeshield21] 9:22 am: the bald boss man!
[rbritt72] 9:23 am: Later wolf
[edawg2203] 9:23 am: wolf!!!!
[WOLF] 9:23 am: No…THE BIG CHEESE!
[eyeshield21] 9:23 am: the big kahuna!
[KozmoK] 9:23 am: Any injury reports yet?
[eyeshield21] 9:23 am: how is Spach doing?
[KozmoK] 9:24 am: They said he’s getting a MRI tomorrow
[eyeshield21] 9:24 am: i wonder what lame Fox announcers we will get
for the game, Troy Aikman no doubt
[OhioCardsFan] 9:24 am: Probably.
[WOLF] 9:24 am: I believe Anquan is going to play, my friends!
How effective he’ll be remains to be seen but they did the right
thing last week by not playing him. If he can’t be The Quan, why
play him?

[hockynut35] 9:24 am: I hate Ailman he is so bad and biased
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: Aikman finds a way to talk about the Cowboys
no matter who is playing
[WOLF] 9:25 am: Spach might be done…he may need surgery and
THAT really hurts us!

[OhioCardsFan] 9:25 am: It would be great to get Thom Brennaman to
do the game.
[hockynut35] 9:25 am: Quan on the feild is still a threat this week, they
still have to cover him
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: Wow thats bad about Spach, he was really a
great addition
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: Patrick and Pope have to seriously step it up
[OhioCardsFan] 9:26 am: Spach’s injury looked really bad on television.
I was kind of suprised to see him walk afterward.
[Jericho] 9:26 am: The BIG CHEESE aka THE WIFE!
[eyeshield21] 9:26 am: Spach added some credibility to the run game
[DrinkinTheKool-Aid!] 9:26 am: the cards still are not getting any
respect, its kind of sickning, espn.com has the eagles in the bowl
already! WTF??
[KozmoK] 9:26 am: I am not a Hood fan at all, but he did a great job
against the Panthers…
[WOLF] 9:27 am: Remember, teams are not going to adjust their
coverage on Quan merely because he takes the field. They are
going to make him prove that he can be Anquan before they do
that. They’ll literally have one guy designated to do nothing else
but watch Anquan run and decide if he’s healthy!

[eyeshield21] 9:27 am: Ralph Brown has been playing lights out as well
in Nickel and Dime situations
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: Yeah if Quan isnt ready to go, then i think we
will sit him again
[KozmoK] 9:28 am: so they will double fitz and single on bolden -
leaving the run coverage open
[hockynut35] 9:28 am: Wow, I didn’t realize that. So maybe he looks
bad in warm ups and then burns them in the game to fake them out
[OhioCardsFan] 9:28 am: I have really been pleased with the play of the
secondary, I think as a unit, they have been the most improved unit of
the team since September.
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: Doubling Fitz and he STILL finds a way to catch
the ball!
[eyeshield21] 9:29 am: plus i loved that they put Fitz in motion all day,
confusing the Panthers secondary
[WOLF] 9:29 am: My friend, I apologize for the Big Cheese” lull but
I must leave. I will see you here next Monday to discuss us going
to the Super Bowl? DOH!!!!!

[eyeshield21] 9:29 am: FOOSHAW!
[eyeshield21] 9:29 am: have a good one Wolf!
[WOLF] 9:29 am: FOOSHAW!!!!!!!!
[OhioCardsFan] 9:29 am: Have a great week!  See you on the radio!
[DrinkinTheKool-Aid!] 9:30 am: FOOSHAW!!!
[hockynut35] 9:30 am: Thanks wolf
[aodogui] 9:30 am: Yeah GO CARDINALS!!!!!
[Jericho] 9:31 am: Have a great week!  FOOSHAW!

Wolf’s Chalkboard Chat - 1/5

[dale] 9:04 am: Ron… i truely enjoy listening to you with the cards
broadcast… morning show is great also…
[3doorsdown] 9:05 am: could someone tell me what the 5:50AM WOTD
was?
[wes] 9:05 am: victory
[3doorsdown] 9:06 am: thanks a lot!!
[Playoffs] 9:06 am: WOLF has entered the building… I can’t wait to play
in Carolina Saturday night. A big big Eagles fan yesterday. Thank you
Donovan and Thank You Tarvarious.
[WOLF] 9:06 am: Basinonians, what a momentous day, is it not?
[jjimboc1959@yahoo.com] 9:06 am: Sure is Wolf
[dale] 9:07 am: ron… steve smith is incredible, can our db’s limit him
along with their running game…?
[3doorsdown] 9:07 am: Eagles and Cards will win! Battle of the Birds
here @ the Toaster for NFC Championship!!!
[JJ] 9:07 am: I didn’t wake up until 6:30 and I guess the word of the day
on the first try.
[rbritt72] 9:07 am: I agree. What a great day to be a CARD fan
[3doorsdown] 9:07 am: victory
[WOLF] 9:07 am: Big Plays, Stuffed the run, ran the ball, UPS and
playing to win the game with 4:15 in the game were the reasons why
the Cards won this game!

[JJ] 9:08 am: I was suprised I got it right, but it was still kind of obvious
[3doorsdown] 9:08 am: The red Sea was there in FORCE!
[3doorsdown] 9:09 am: Edge looked great!
[WOLF] 9:09 am: Everybody was picking the Falcons, talking
about how great it was to be playing the Cards. And I thought all
along the Cards matched up best with the Falcons!

[aodogui] 9:09 am: Way to go Cardinal fans, the Chrome Dome was
loud.
[ecaringo] 9:09 am: How effective due you think Q will be with his
hamstring?
[JJ] 9:10 am: I took the Cards at +3
[3doorsdown] 9:10 am: The front seven was kicking butt!
[rbritt72] 9:10 am: Smith is a big part of there O but I think we can stop
him with Wilson shadowing him.
[WOLF] 9:10 am: The Red Sea was incredible! How about the
“Lets go Cardinals” chant that broke out before the game! That
was special.

[edawg2203] 9:10 am: For the first time I didn’t have to tell the section
to stand up.  We were up the whole game.
[BJH530@MSN.COM] 9:10 am: Wolf, do you like the sudden death OT
rule or think it should be changed to give both teams a sure chance at
having the ball?
[WOLF] 9:11 am: It won’t be Wilson shadowing Smith; it will be
DRC.

[3doorsdown] 9:11 am: The chant was incredible! Hey I liked the #29
insert @ receiver!
[Blackmaverik] 9:12 am: Wolf, you think DRC is ready to cover Smith?
[jobo1] 9:12 am: Great idea to post the Atlanta Journal Constitution
quote on the scoreboard before the game.  That got the Red Sea even
more fired up!!
[JJ] 9:12 am: Sudden death is pro, friendly lets all get a try is amatuer
[rbritt72] 9:12 am: DRC..what a game.
[WOLF] 9:12 am: Don’t touch Sudden Death! It’s the best overtime
there is. The game is being played. Isn’t your defense part of your
team?

[dale] 9:12 am: amen
[3doorsdown] 9:12 am: true! Payton Manning doesn’t agree though!
[rbritt72] 9:13 am: Can our D come through again?
[Blackmaverik] 9:13 am: That’s So Correct!!!  Play Defense!!!
[3doorsdown] 9:14 am: DRC on a reverse or long pas! What do you
think???.
[WOLF] 9:14 am: I think we need to follow the same formula as
we did this past week: stop the run, jam the box and force
Delhomme to beat us.

[edawg2203] 9:14 am: Don’t run the reverse it never works for us…never
[3doorsdown] 9:14 am: Sounds good!
[Blackmaverik] 9:15 am: He’s done that before though
[jobo1] 9:15 am: Wolf, how serious do you think Boldin’s injury is?
[rbritt72] 9:15 am: I also thing we need to go down the field more often.
We need to blist blist blist Delhomme
[ecaringo] 9:15 am: Will Clancy use the 4 D.L to stop the run. It was
effective against Atlanta.
[aodogui] 9:15 am: Yeah get after Delhomme we all know he likes to
throw picks
[ndarus] 9:16 am: ya get delhomme and stop him
[3doorsdown] 9:16 am: Williams & Stewart can couse a lot of trouble!
[ndarus] 9:16 am: where is wolf at
[WOLF] 9:16 am: Boldin won’t be effective even if he plays. For
him to come out of that game tells me he must of pulled it pretty
good. This concerns me. Quan had a big game against the
Panthers: 9-receptions, 63-yards and 2-TD’s.

[3doorsdown] 9:16 am: cause I mean! LOL!
[Playoffs] 9:17 am: Yes love it when I see AWilson up near the line of
scrimmage like a LB or DE most of the game.
[rbritt72] 9:17 am: The front 4 will play a big roll in this game. If we can
get to delhomme he will throw picks.
[ndarus] 9:17 am: true we need another reciever to step up now
[Playoffs] 9:17 am: Make JakeD beat us, not Williams and Stewart
[aodogui] 9:17 am: The last game we didn’t tackle well, I hope our guys
are ready this time.
[ndarus] 9:17 am: we need breaston to be a key role
[ndarus] 9:18 am: we need our run game to be ready too
[jobo1] 9:18 am: I think they need to incorporate JJ into the offense
more this week with some screens.
[edawg2203] 9:18 am: I hope no one gives us a chance again this
week.  We play better when were pissed off.  Keep giving the ball to
Edge
[ndarus] 9:18 am: they need to find the hole with the person that can
find it
[Blackmaverik] 9:18 am: We must start FAST and win the turnover
battle!!
[3doorsdown] 9:18 am: That’s good!
[ndarus] 9:18 am: whehter it is jj, james or someone else
[JJ] 9:19 am: me?
sweet
[JJ] 9:19 am: put me in
[ndarus] 9:19 am: lol no arrington
[WOLF] 9:19 am: I am fired up we’re playing Carolina: 1) We
match up better 2) we played well there 3) Jake Delhomme vs. Eli
Manning 4) not a “cold weather” game.

[rbritt72] 9:19 am: This is great to be here today and talk about our next
Playoff game. GO CARDS
[ndarus] 9:19 am: no cold weather is very good
[JJ] 9:19 am: 4) <———
[edawg2203] 9:20 am: not a cold weather game!!!!!!! Thank god
[3doorsdown] 9:20 am: I agree Wolf! Hey, a HOME championship game
would be the best! I think the Eagles can take out the GMen!
[Blackmaverik] 9:20 am: Semi - Cold 45 to 50 degrees
[JJ] 9:21 am: home championship would be crazy
[Blackmaverik] 9:21 am: Better than 20 degrees
[WOLF] 9:21 am: Can you imagine what the Red Sea would be
like if the NFC Championship game was being played at
University of Phoenix Stadium? A maelstrom, indeed!

[Blackmaverik] 9:21 am: One game at a time gentlemen
[3doorsdown] 9:22 am: SWEET! FooSHAW!
[JJ] 9:22 am: ktar could sponsor everyone and make the carolina game
a “home” game
[3doorsdown] 9:22 am: MAELSTROM!!!
[JJ] 9:23 am: i liked the “we are who we thought we were” comment
[WOLF] 9:23 am: Playing football in January is CRUNK!
[jobo1] 9:23 am: They need to get rid of the excessive celebration rule.
I’m sure Whiz was not too happy with our 15 yard penalty.
[3doorsdown] 9:24 am: THE PASH FACTOR!
[aodogui] 9:24 am: Wolf said Crunk. lol
[MnJ080108] 9:24 am: limit the pasche factor lol
[Blackmaverik] 9:25 am: We are way too old to use that word Wolf, LOL
[3doorsdown] 9:25 am: Wolf, you’re in charge of limiting THE PASCHE
FACTOR!
[WOLF] 9:25 am: I hated the call on Dockett. It wasn’t
premeditated, it wasn’t planned, it was a natural response to a
big play. Having said this, I loved the fact that Whiz chewed him
out. Establishing who is boss is important.

[JJ] 9:25 am: So Ohio or Texas?
[edawg2203] 9:25 am: Wolf you need to start hitting pasch up side the
head when he makes these comments.  Does he want to jinx it all
[3doorsdown] 9:26 am: Texas
[edawg2203] 9:26 am: Texas
[jbaca20] 9:26 am: wolf how do you personally like our chances in
Carolina?
[Blackmaverik] 9:26 am: Texas Big!!
[WOLF] 9:26 am: The Pasch Factor is going to go away! We are
putting limitations in place even as we speak!

[3doorsdown] 9:27 am: Wolf, Your opinion about the No Fun League is
true. Whiz handled it properly!
[WOLF] 9:27 am: I must leave, my friends. I’ll see you back here
next Monday!

[edawg2203] 9:27 am: with a cardinal victory
[3doorsdown] 9:27 am: c-ya Wolf!
[rstreeb] 9:27 am: Collin Coward is saying that “Carolina is the best
team in football right now”
[3doorsdown] 9:28 am: I like it… COWARD Lol!!!.
[rstreeb] 9:28 am: It will be nice to prove him wrong…
[aodogui] 9:28 am: later wolf       GO CARDS!!!!!!
[MnJ080108] 9:29 am: cowherds voice does not match his face
[JJ] 9:29 am: he sounds very different from am radio to the hd online feed
[JJ] 9:30 am: took a few seconds just to figure out it really was him

Wolf’s Chalkboard Chat - 12/15

Welcome! You have entered [Sports 620 KTAR] at 9:04 am
[ndarus] 9:05 am: hey wolf good show
[ndarus] 9:05 am: I love the new kid
[WOLF] 9:05 am: Where are the huddled masses…square your jaw
and stand at the ready.

[NFCWestChamps] 9:05 am: I just had that feeling a hangover was
coming? Things went wrong fromt he beginning… It shouldn’t be hard for
Whiz to get their attention back.
[ndarus] 9:05 am: He is hilarious
[IRISH] 9:05 am: enjoya-what?
[ndarus] 9:06 am: enjoyable is not working I know
[JChalant] 9:06 am: things are enjoyable at the tempe camps as
well…last final tomorrow
[WOLF] 9:06 am: The players were not ready to play. Whom do
you blame? THE PLAYERS!

[ndarus] 9:06 am: The huddled masses are here to talk to you Wolf
[ndarus] 9:07 am: Kurt Warner I blame not enough passing offense to
fittzgerald yesterday
[ndarus] 9:07 am: Pope was nowhere to be seen too
[WOLF] 9:08 am: The Vikings did a great job of taking Fitz away
from the Cards. You can’t throw it to a guy that is covered.

[ndarus] 9:08 am: It seemed as if Boldin was the only wide reciever
option.
[rampdog] 9:08 am: What the heck happened to the cardinals this week
[darren] 9:08 am: I created room “Darren”
[ndarus] 9:09 am: True the defense by the Viking was very strong and I
give them a lot of credit for playing an A game.  The cardinals were
asleep on the offensive end.
[WOLF] 9:09 am: Cause and Effect happened to the Cards. The
Cause was they were not prpeared to give what a player MUST;
the Effect was what you saw yesterday.

[darren] 9:09 am: Do you agree with Peter King?  I have to say I do?
[CardinalMike] 9:09 am: i blame it on the 0-line
[CardinalMike] 9:09 am: mike gandy couldn’t stop anyone
[NFCWestChamps] 9:09 am: What about T. Jackson though? Our
defense can NOT let him do that.
[ndarus] 9:10 am: They can’t sleep again next week either because they
will lose again.
[JChalant] 9:10 am: Are you saying the talent wasnt there?, the
effort?…or the heart?
[ndarus] 9:10 am: Tavaris looked like a pro bowler yesterday the way we
played.
[CardinalMike] 9:10 am: a couple of amazing throws, sure, but you got
to give waner a chance
[CardinalMike] 9:10 am: Effort……
[ndarus] 9:11 am: I can’t believe they put Lienert in the game yesterday
I don’t even remember seeing him.
[WOLF] 9:11 am: The Cards are a team in transformation. They
are not a finished product. As much as we would like to think
they are, Coach Whiz is still developing this team. If you would
have told me at the start of the season that the Cards would have
won the NFC West, I could have cared what their record was.

[AZCardinals] 9:11 am: that game was almost as pathetic as all the
vikings fans in the building, way to show your support cards fans
[ndarus] 9:12 am: It was a good game to watch too why sell your team
out like that.
[CardinalMike] 9:12 am: true wolf,  but would you like to have known
also if there was going to be a complete meltdown after clinching?
[ndarus] 9:12 am: Us suns fans would never do a thing like that.
[CardinalMike] 9:12 am: I would
[e] 9:13 am:
[dharris] 9:13 am: No more excuses, the Cardinals are just an okay
team taking advantage of a weak division and will be one and done in
the playoffs. With the NFL package I see all the games and  over the
last few weeks all the potential playoff teams I thought we could beat at
home now or losses
[WOLF] 9:13 am: Right now, the Cards aren’t ready to contend in
the NFC but there’s no doubt they are headed in the right
direction.

[CardinalMike] 9:13 am: amen
[azcardboy85] 9:13 am: wolf is correct
[ndarus] 9:13 am: I think it all depends on who they play in the playoffs.
There are a lot of strong teams out there.
[rampdog] 9:13 am: So do you feel like the williams brothers made a
differance in how the cardinals played
[ndarus] 9:14 am: The williams did play a big role in the game.
[rstreeb] 9:14 am: Aikman and Buck loved the Cardinals poor showing
by the way…They have to be the most biased, anti-Cardinal annoucers
in the business.
[CardinalMike] 9:14 am: heres the thing: we fans are like parents, who
are trying to teach our children (the cardinals) about life. We see them
screw up, but we love them anyways,
[WOLF] 9:14 am: I agree, the Cards are an okay team but they are
a dangerous-okay-team. They have a volatile offense and a
defense that is #2 in Takeaways, second only to the Bears. That’s
dangerous.

[JChalant] 9:14 am: and we love them all equally?
[rod] 9:14 am: they are too one dimensional
[rod] 9:15 am: all playoff teams can run the ball at least occasionally
[JChalant] 9:15 am: true, if opposing teams dont prepare and take them
seriously, the cards can burn them
[ndarus] 9:15 am: The Bears are a dangerous team when they play like
it and so are the Cardinals and Sunday with the way they played there
was nothing dangerous about it except the amount of viking fans left in
the stand.
[CardinalMike] 9:16 am: The worst part is that it is SOOO difficult to
watch them dominate a team like the rams, or others and then see the
exact opposite the next week!
[rod] 9:16 am: how many viking fans were there?
[aodogui] 9:16 am: Man the Cards looked like crap yesterday it was a
game that was hard to watch.
[CardinalMike] 9:16 am: 50%
[rampdog] 9:16 am: So wolf how far do you think the cards will go in the
playoffs after yesterdays game
[ndarus] 9:16 am: 60%
[CardinalMike] 9:16 am: after halftime: 90%
[WOLF] 9:16 am: True. The players did not prepare themselves to
give what they must! That was the most troubling thing about
what happened yesterday.

[AZCardinals] 9:16 am: it was so bad yesterday, there were more
vikings fans then even cowboys fans when they came
[ndarus] 9:16 am: It was a sea of purple
[rod] 9:16 am: lots of MN people move to AZ for winter
[ndarus] 9:17 am: Yes as troubled as I am for not getting up early
enough to hear the 5:50 A.M. word of the day anyone know what it was?
[Blackmaverik] 9:17 am: From what i see, if the cards dont score first,
they lose!!
[CardinalMike] 9:17 am: but you know that we will all tune in next week
[dharris] 9:18 am: Is Levi Brown going to turn out to be the SAM BOWIE
TO MICHAEL JORDAN PICK years from now when Adrian Peterson
goes into the hall of fame or can this kid turn the corner and become an
all pro?
[rod] 9:18 am: vikes were just more physically dominating - that’s what
I’d be conderneed about
[rod] 9:18 am: concerned
[ultimateredondo@hotmail.com] 9:18 am: I was totally upset with a lot
of the fans in sec. 406 who left them game during the second quarter.
these are the same fans who love them and then hate them when they
aren’t producing.  they are also the ones who boo when things don’t go
right.  what’s up with that?
[JChalant] 9:18 am: from what i understand, AP was injury prone in
college, and his elevation as a player was more surprising than what MJ
did
[rstreeb] 9:19 am: We’ll all tune in but will we all buy playoff tickets and
season tickets next year if the Cardinals don’t show up in the playoffs?
[WOLF] 9:19 am: It all depends on who the Cards will play in the
post-season. Tampa Bay=Trouble with their cover-2 scheme;
Dallas=talented trouble playing desperate football; Atlanta=bring
it on.

[Blackmaverik] 9:19 am: The Vikings played at a much higher speed
yesterday than the cards did
[CardinalMike] 9:19 am: the viking still had something to play for
[ndarus] 9:20 am: I like Tampa Bay or Atlanta as options.  A Dallas will
bring more Blue into our stadium.
[rod] 9:20 am: how do you think they would do vs. MN in playoffs?
[ndarus] 9:20 am: That would be a close physical awesome matchup.
[CardinalMike] 9:21 am: so is the “home field advantage” out the
window now? Why is it that Kurts 2 worst games this year, were at
home?
[WOLF] 9:21 am: I think, just like the team, the fans are going
through an adjustment period - learning how to be true NFL fans.
It’s disturbing to watch but someday it will happen.

[rod] 9:22 am: AZ should change their name - too much association
with St. Louis cards and bad history
[Blackmaverik] 9:22 am: Not going to happen rod
[ndarus] 9:22 am: Hey wolf what was the word of the day for 5:50 A.M.
today?
[aodogui] 9:22 am: Our special teams once again gave up a big play
then came up with their own when it was to late.
[rod] 9:23 am: nobody associates Baltimore Ravens with Cleveland
Browns
[JChalant] 9:23 am: I think you get a lot of people that want to be fans,
but have that defeatist mentality still lingering from past years
[ndarus] 9:24 am: I think that Arizona is so transient most fans here are
from other states anyways and have other teams to route for that is why
we have a steeler bar and a viking bar specific for here too.
[WOLF] 9:24 am: Our transition teams have struggled all year.
Coach Spencer is an excellent coach so I know he’s not the
problem. The players are the problem. You need discipline to
play in transition and we don’t have it.

[aodogui] 9:24 am: Hey rod i don’t know about changing their name but
what do you guys think about getting black helmets?
[ndarus] 9:24 am: Discpline and heart are the keys to victory.
[ultimateredondo@hotmail.com] 9:24 am: I agree…but will the same
thing happen during the playoffs if the Cardz are down 14 or 21 points in
the 3rd quarter?  I mean it’s just rediculous to give up on a team that
needs fan support as motivation.
[rod] 9:24 am: i think any kind of change - they just kind of look like a
“soft” team
[WOLF] 9:25 am: You need talent as well, my friend. The Cards
are in the process of trying to assemble that talent. They need
another good draft this year.

[CardinalMike] 9:25 am: well, here we are, having once said “just get to
the playoffs” now that they have, who the heck knows what can happen?
[ndarus] 9:26 am: They lost their edge in weeks previous.  They need to
be more aggressive again.
[CardinalMike] 9:26 am: Should they continue playing with kurt, boldin,
and larry? or give Matt and others more reps?
[ndarus] 9:26 am: They need to trade Boldin and get some talent for him
towards next year.  I like the idea of trading New York him.
[ndarus] 9:26 am: I say keep Kurt and Fitz
[dharris] 9:27 am: Soft ownerships have soft teams, it starts at the top
and trickles down, lets just see if this offseason we get tougher guys
thru the draft, a middle linebacker such as the kid at Ohio st. could be
the answer late in 1st round
[WOLF] 9:27 am: One would get a pretty-penny for Anquan.
[ndarus] 9:27 am: The Derrick Ward idea is a great one.
[ndarus] 9:28 am: We need an additional rb.
[CardinalMike] 9:28 am: WOLF, now that the season is winding down,
should the cards rotate other players in to get the reps in(Leinart), and
save the “injury”
[ultimateredondo@hotmail.com] 9:28 am: U can’t trade Q…just pay the
man!  He produces.  He is one of the top 5 receiers in the game.  why
would you let him go?  sorry, but that is the kind of thinking that only
hurts our team.
[ndarus] 9:28 am: Ya but you can’t have a good rb if you pay two wr
good money.
[dharris] 9:28 am: Wolf, don’t you think our defense has underachieved
this year, I thought they had the talent to be better
[ndarus] 9:29 am: They are still a top defense just need to be
continually rebuilt.
[WOLF] 9:29 am: The Cards need a physical offensive-line. If your
line doesn’t block well enough to allow your skill to do what they
do, what good is it to have that skill?

[ultimateredondo@hotmail.com] 9:29 am: our front seven are great…we
need other corners with skill to help out DRC…the others just give up
way too many big plays.
[WOLF] 9:30 am: By the way, I din’t say I was in favor of trading
The Quan, did I?

[ndarus] 9:30 am: They have a good team just need the additional back
up to fix the positions when injuries happen.
[ndarus] 9:30 am: No you did not wolf
[JChalant] 9:30 am: the foundation has not yet set firm
[ndarus] 9:30 am: What was the word of the day for 5:50 A.M. anybody
know?
[JChalant] 9:31 am: No, merely stating in return would would expect
bank
[JChalant] 9:31 am: one would
[ultimateredondo@hotmail.com] 9:31 am: no but ndarus did.
[WOLF] 9:31 am: Sorry, brothers and sisters, but I must go. I’ll see
you next week. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

[JChalant] 9:31 am: peace wolf
[dharris] 9:31 am: We are paying the the Edge James signing years
ago, if your going to get a free agent RB, speed and power is the key
[JChalant] 9:32 am: thanks for your time and insight
[azcardboy85] 9:32 am: bye wolf!
[AZCardinals] 9:32 am: Cya Wolf…FOOSHAW!
[aodogui] 9:32 am: thanks same to you wolf
[dharris] 9:32 am: Everyone have a happy holiday, BE SAFE
[ndarus] 9:32 am: thanks wolf
[Blackmaverik] 9:33 am: Later Wolf
[ndarus] 9:33 am: anyone know the word of the day from early this
morning
[ndarus] 9:33 am: 5:50 A.M.
[CardinalMike] 9:33 am: billboard girls bonus code????
[AZCardinals] 9:33 am: no clue
[CardinalMike] 9:33 am: operation santa clause?
[Blackmaverik] 9:34 am: Why do you keep asking they wont give it on
here
[ndarus] 9:34 am: cardinalmike do you know it
[CardinalMike] 9:34 am: yes
[JChalant] 9:35 am: take it easy guys
[ndarus] 9:36 am: anyone know the word of the day for 5:50 A.M.?
[AZCardinals] 9:36 am: noooooo, now i have to get back to work
[ndarus] 9:36 am: Blackmaverick you know it
[aodogui] 9:37 am: No i was asleep
[Blackmaverik] 9:37 am: no,but i doubt anyone will give it to ya
[Blackmaverik] 9:38 am: So what, it’s only 620 points
[ndarus] 9:40 am: ya I know it is only 620 points thanks anyway
[AZCardinals] 9:41 am: i havent seen anything in the store for a while
now
[ndarus] 9:41 am: ya I know
[ndarus] 9:41 am: they are saving for something big
[ndarus] 9:41 am: like the allstar game I think
[ndarus] 9:42 am: anybody want to help me with the 5:50 A.M. code?
[Blackmaverik] 9:43 am: I just don’t feel good about playing this
weekend in New England
[ndarus] 9:43 am: New England is good
[ndarus] 9:43 am: They outscored everyone in points this week.
[Blackmaverik] 9:43 am: Can you say 8-8 Division Champs!!
[Blackmaverik] 9:45 am: Kurt doesn’t like playing in the COLD
[AZCardinals] 9:45 am: does anyone?
[ndarus] 9:46 am: true
[Blackmaverik] 9:46 am: No but really this team doesn’t
[ndarus] 9:46 am: ya true
[ndarus] 9:46 am: brrrr
[AZCardinals] 9:46 am: most dome teams,  dont play good in cold
weather
[Blackmaverik] 9:47 am: NE 31 Card’s 13
[AZCardinals] 9:47 am: like 99% of them
[AZCardinals] 9:47 am: id say a little closer then that
[AZCardinals] 9:48 am: new england is not the same without brady,
cassel is an ok qb at best
[Blackmaverik] 9:48 am: What gives you any idea they can even keep it
close with NE, they have to win out
[Blackmaverik] 9:50 am: I think we will beat Seattle and finish 9-7
[AZCardinals] 9:50 am: because if they have any heart, they will not
want to be backed into the playoffs, so they need to show up, and will
be in semi desperation mode themselves,should make for a good game
[Blackmaverik] 9:50 am: That’s what we thought about going to Philly
[AZCardinals] 9:51 am: philly is a strange team
[ndarus] 9:51 am: yes they are
[ndarus] 9:51 am: I hear Mcnabb might go somewhere else next year
where do you think where he is going?
[AZCardinals] 9:51 am: westbrook and mcnabb are playing great football
ever since the benching
[AZCardinals] 9:52 am: Chicago
[ndarus] 9:52 am: I am thinking Chicago or Minnesota
[Blackmaverik] 9:52 am: I don’t want him here though
[AZCardinals] 9:52 am: i say he ends up in chicago
[Blackmaverik] 9:52 am: Fine, but not here
[ndarus] 9:52 am: You think the dallas players will stay pat
[AZCardinals] 9:52 am: chicago is a joke, until they get a decent qb
[ndarus] 9:53 am: Owens may want out too
[ndarus] 9:53 am: Especially if dallas misses the playoffs
[Blackmaverik] 9:53 am: He’s a headcase
[AZCardinals] 9:53 am: i say if they get in the playoffs and lose again in
the first round, they should dump Tony “big game chokeboy” Romo
[Blackmaverik] 9:53 am: KEEP BOLDIN!!!!!!
[ndarus] 9:54 am: I say keep Boldin too
[ndarus] 9:54 am: I just think that salary is going to be an issue
[Blackmaverik] 9:55 am: Card’s will probably re sign Boldin
[ndarus] 9:55 am: I hope so too I just hope they don’t turn into the suns
and have too many old players.
[AZCardinals] 9:55 am: im on the fence with bolding
[AZCardinals] 9:55 am: boldin*
[Blackmaverik] 9:55 am: Why?
[ndarus] 9:55 am: anything can happen though.
[AZCardinals] 9:55 am: tying up 25mil on wideouts is not good either
[ndarus] 9:56 am: injuries happen all the time
[ndarus] 9:56 am: the cardinals need more backup for their defense and
offensive line.
[Blackmaverik] 9:56 am: They have the money, they better
[AZCardinals] 9:56 am: and after the offseason went, he wont take a
home town discount
[ndarus] 9:56 am: Breaston was an amazing discount
[ndarus] 9:57 am: Urban is an amazing player too.
[Blackmaverik] 9:57 am: He will if he wants to play here
[AZCardinals] 9:57 am: tehre was a play yesterday wihere breaston was
wide open, i ment by at least 15 yards, and warner through to fitz in
coverage, i coudnt believe he didnt see breaston
[ndarus] 9:58 am: ya in the middle of the field
[ndarus] 9:58 am: I saw it too
[ndarus] 9:58 am: could have been a touchdown
[ndarus] 9:58 am: no coverage at all
[Blackmaverik] 9:58 am: Got to go guys, Happy Holidays!
[ndarus] 9:58 am: If boldin was gone he would have saw that.
[ndarus] 9:59 am: bye black maverik best of luck and happy holidays too
[AZCardinals] 9:59 am: later mav

except that one guy with the jake plummer jersey, man he got slammed.
[Sensei11] 9:12 am: Wolf - what do the Cardinals (in your opinion) need
to do from here to maintain thier focus now?
[WOLF] 9:12 am: How does it feel to be the NFC West Champions?
[eyeshield21] 9:12 am: yeah i saw the guy get slammed with the
plummer jersey
[sundevil] 9:13 am: Long Overdue ….
[Sensei11] 9:13 am: Awesome…

[amac] 9:13 am: Feels gooooooooooooood
[shatch] 9:13 am: Was ASU out coached most of the year???
[sundevil] 9:13 am: are cardinals going to rest players starting next
week?
[RASVEGAS] 9:13 am: Hey Wolf…who do you think we are going to
meet in the first round of the playoffs?
[eyeshield21] 9:13 am: shop at walmart wolf
[RASVEGAS] 9:13 am: BROHAWK!
[RASVEGAS] 9:13 am: RED

[amac] 9:14 am: Good idea Yoda, WV FB
[eyeshield21] 9:14 am: hat and shirts are on sale at the cards team
shop
[MerrickM] 9:15 am: I work at Dick’s Sporting Goods, and we pulled out
Division Champ shirts and hats right after the game
[MerrickM] 9:15 am: So Dick’s has them
[RASVEGAS] 9:15 am: amac is right…”Feels sooooooooo
ggggggoooooooooooodddddddddd
[WOLF] 9:15 am: I don’t believe coach Whiz will rest players
unless they are hurt. Jusr a guess.

[RASVEGAS] 9:15 am: Leinart maybe?
[eyeshield21] 9:15 am: Wolf do you think a decision will be made before
the Vikes game on the status of the Williams?
[amac] 9:15 am: Like to see Lienart play before the playoffs just to save
Kurt and get some reps himelf
[Sensei11] 9:16 am: WOLF - As a former player, what do the players
need to do to keep up the momentum and not experience a little let-up
now that they ahve won the division?
[eyeshield21] 9:16 am: emblazen QUEEN on the side of your head with
the mohawk, wolf!
[nbk82y3] 9:16 am: Wolf, Whiz needs to find away to establish a run
game. There is no reason hey should not have had over 130 yards
yesterday
[amac] 9:16 am: It was a weird vibe at the game don’t you think?
[RASVEGAS] 9:17 am: Wolf…do you think Coach Whiz will play
Leinart the last couple of games?  It would be a good idea just in case
Kurt gets hurt.  At least he’ll be ready to go.  Thoughts?
[shallows] 9:18 am: Did the BCS get the Championship game correct?
[aodogui] 9:19 am: Your right amac it did feel a little wierd. Why do you
think?
[eyeshield21] 9:19 am: Wolf cannot multitask!
[amac] 9:19 am: It was nice to see Antrel get the first.  When are you
goning in at FB again?
[QUEEN] 9:19 am: WOLF where are you…
[josh2209] 9:19 am: Make Doug do a crazy hair style for this great
season
[nbk82y3] 9:19 am: cmon every crying for TX, neutral field, how is
playing in the state of TX a neutral field
[QUEEN] 9:19 am: YODA talks and talks… haha
[shallows] 9:19 am: Hey Wolf stop talking to Yoda and Doug
[dockettknockout] 9:19 am: it’s hard to type while eating my FRIED
BALOGNA SANDWICH from my iron!
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: fired balogna!!!!!!!
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: fried*
[dockettknockout] 9:20 am: with ketchup and mayo!
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: wolf is getting held down by the man!
[amac] 9:20 am: nothing wrong with that
[shallows] 9:21 am: girly sweater?
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: a womanly sweater
[WOLF] 9:21 am: I don’t like the whole idea of sitting players
when going into the playoffs. Anyone feel the same way?

[josh2209] 9:21 am: Listening to The Herd he says the Cards are going
to be a threat in the playoffs
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: unless we are 15-0…dont sit the players
[josh2209] 9:21 am: Gotta love theat
[MerrickM] 9:21 am: I agree, Cards still have things to work on
[Jericho] 9:21 am: YES!  They lose their edge IMO.
[josh2209] 9:21 am: that
[dockettknockout] 9:21 am: PLAYOFF? You’re talking about
PLAYOFFS?
[amac] 9:22 am: i am not a huge fan but hate to see kurt get hurt in NE
or against the seachickens
[eyeshield21] 9:22 am: practice?! cmon man…practice??
[dockettknockout] 9:22 am: PRACTICE?
[RASVEGAS] 9:22 am: I do think that they should get Leinart in there in
case Warner gets hurt Wolf.  Thoughts?
[Sensei11] 9:22 am: I agree - do NOT sit the players, they seem to lose
some energy & focus and the playoffs are not long enough to regain
that…
[eyeshield21] 9:23 am: closed the wrong box
[eyeshield21] 9:23 am: hehe
[WOLF] 9:23 am: The Cards are a dangerous team. They may not
be a great team but they are dangerous. Boldin, Fitzgerald and
Warner…

[josh2209] 9:23 am: I don’t like the fact either about sitting players.  It
keeps them loose and still in the game
[RASVEGAS] 9:23 am: I also agree…don’t sit any players.  They need
to be ready!
[dockettknockout] 9:23 am: Yes I agree with the rest Kurt theory! not
completely, but a few quarters each game.
[RASVEGAS] 9:23 am:
[shallows] 9:24 am: Kurt Warner MVP?
[josh2209] 9:24 am: You better hope defenses have good d-backs or our
receivers are going to punk them
[eyeshield21] 9:24 am: DRC!
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: i think Kurt is still in the top 2 for MVP
[Sensei11] 9:25 am: Wolf - Has Warner solidified his chances for MVP
Now?!?
[dockettknockout] 9:25 am: i’m ready for another FRIED BALOGNA
SANDWICH with KETCHUP and MAYO!
[josh2209] 9:25 am: DRC is reallly fast.  Blew by everyone
[WOLF] 9:25 am: Not only the talent, offensively, but anything can
happen in a one-game scenario.

[RASVEGAS] 9:25 am: Loved the celebration after the touchdown with
the CPR and goal post deal.  Awesome!
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: DRC was blazing fast… it seemed like it only
took him 4 seconds to run 100 yards
[josh2209] 9:25 am: that is the truth Wolf
[aztruckstop] 9:26 am: I am just glad Kurt is hanging on to the ball better
[WOLF] 9:26 am: I think Kurt has got to play well - really well - to
win his 3rd MVP in these last three games. If he throws for over
300-yards in each game, protects the ball and the Cards win, he’s
going to be the MVP.

[eyeshield21] 9:26 am: last time we hosted a playoff game in 1947…we
won the NFL Championship!
[aztruckstop] 9:26 am: I agree, I think he is better than ever
[RASVEGAS] 9:27 am: Wolf…do you know Leinarts status these last
couple of games?
[shallows] 9:27 am: WOW
[eyeshield21] 9:27 am: MV3!
[dockettknockout] 9:27 am: Wolf, Can the Cards beat the Cowboys
AGAIN if they are the 1st round opponent?
[Sensei11] 9:27 am: I think he deserves it and I hope that he gets it.
Whiz should get Coach of the year as well…
[eyeshield21] 9:27 am: the cowboys are looking real bad again
[josh2209] 9:27 am: Warner is a great QB.  I hope he wins the MVP.
He has earned it in more ways then one
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: get on the Warner Wagon folks!
[josh2209] 9:28 am: Hell with the Cowgirls.
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: i cant believe the Seahawks lets the Pats come
back and win
[nbk82y3] 9:28 am: Cmon everyone in the league thinks Cards are a
joke, no respect at all, some will vote against Warner because the
division was week, instead of how strong the Cards played against
teams outside their division.
[aztruckstop] 9:28 am: I think the playoff wins will depend on Clancy
more than anything
[WOLF] 9:28 am: Matt Leinart’s status hasn’t changed all year.
Whether or not we’ll see him depends on meaningful games the
rest of the year.

[dockettknockout] 9:29 am: HAHA
[eyeshield21] 9:29 am: playoffs?!
[eyeshield21] 9:29 am: i just want to win a game!
[dockettknockout] 9:29 am: PLAYOFFS?
[josh2209] 9:30 am: I think the cards could go a long way if they stay
healthy.  Especially Warner
[eyeshield21] 9:30 am: Wolf, its ok to shop for clothes at walmart. We
all do it!
[WOLF] 9:30 am: The Cards can beat anybody at UPS. That’s all
there is to it. If they play at home, there isn’t a team in the league
they can’t beat. Now, there are teams that would be more difficult
to beat and I think Dallas falls into that category.

[dockettknockout] 9:30 am: I agree Wolf!
[aztruckstop] 9:31 am: the team took Dallas apart, even though they
almost lost
[mbadgeaz] 9:31 am: wolf  what adjustments would the cards need too
make too avoid losing to the panthers if they were to get them in the 1st
game
[eyeshield21] 9:31 am: this carolina tampa bay game should be a good
one tonight in terms of seeding
[dockettknockout] 9:31 am: dude looks like a lady1
[Sensei11] 9:31 am: Who would you be most worried about Wolf?
[josh2209] 9:31 am: Dallas.  They are cowgirls.  We beat them once we
will do it again
[RASVEGAS] 9:31 am: Jim Mora: Playoffs!?!?  Cardinals in the
playoffs!?!?  Playoffs!?!?!?
[shallows] 9:31 am: What do you think about the Edge only three
carries yesterday?
[josh2209] 9:31 am: We should of beat them easily
[dockettknockout] 9:31 am: only if Jessica Simpson shows up!
[eyeshield21] 9:31 am: playoffs?! nfc west champions?!?!
[eyeshield21] 9:32 am: Edge looked good on that 8 yard carry
[josh2209] 9:32 am: Edge had 2 good carries back to back\
[RASVEGAS] 9:32 am: Use Edge for those 3rd down 2 yards for a 1st
down???
[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: JJ looked great on that end around though… 16
yarder
[WOLF] 9:33 am: My friends, I apologize for the abbreviated chat
but I must go. Hopefully, we won’t have issues with D&W
Overtime delaying the chat. See you next week NFC West
Championship Fans!

[josh2209] 9:33 am: That is Hightowers role.  Short yardage
[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: FOOSHAW!!!!!!!!!!
[dockettknockout] 9:33 am: Wolf, I don’t think we should use defensive
backs on offense. Risk of injury!
[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: so long wolf!
[nbk82y3] 9:33 am: late
[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: get that brohawk ready!
[josh2209] 9:33 am: lster
[Sensei11] 9:33 am: Have a good one Wolf…
[josh2209] 9:33 am: later wolf
[aodogui] 9:33 am: later wolf
[dockettknockout] 9:34 am: playoffs??????????????
[aodogui] 9:34 am: GO CARDINALS!!!!!
[josh2209] 9:35 am: Players can get hurt on any time on the field.  Use
players where ever when ever
[dockettknockout] 9:35 am: You do have a point josh
[shallows] 9:35 am: Shouldn’t it be a big deal?
[josh2209] 9:36 am: Yeah someone said dont use defensive backs on
offense.  I thought it makes defenses confused
[dockettknockout] 9:36 am: see ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya!
[MIrish13] 9:36 am: oh, i guess i missed it…thanks though

Wolf’s Chalkboard Chat - 12/1

Welcome! You have entered [Sports 620 KTAR] at 9:12 am
[WOLF] 9:13 am: What sayeth thou, Basinonians?
[amacc] 9:14 am: morning wolf
[b8i1gjim9@cox.net] 9:14 am: hi RON, WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT
THE BAD REFEREE CALLS?
[twselectricjim] 9:14 am: Real nice to be back at work after the holiday
weekend.
[b8i1gjim9@cox.net] 9:14 am: IN THE NBA
[WOLF] 9:14 am: What was the most disappointing thing about the
Cards loss on Thanksgiving?

[dodgedan] 9:14 am: What do you think are ASU chanes of beatting UA
[Jericho] 9:15 am: Hey, Wolf.  Any idea what is wrong with the Video of
the Day Trivia?  It hasn’t worked the last couple days.  Any other Krunk
brothers have any problems?  BTW, the Cards loss WAS disappointing.
[b8i1gjim9@cox.net] 9:15 am: IS THIS A FOOTBALL CHAT?
[aznailer] 9:15 am: feels like here we go again
[amacc] 9:15 am: Wolf I have a question for you what are your thoughts
that Whiz didn’t put Matt into the game 5 min left 28 pts down.
[twselectricjim] 9:15 am: It just didn’t look like they showed up in a
situation were they could showcase the team.
[Dino S] 9:15 am: Two questions Wolfie:
[Dino S] 9:16 am: 1.) Why is WHiz hesitant to put Matt in the game
when the Cards have pretty much no chance and 2.) How much practice
time does Matt get with the 1st team, if any?
[Jericho] 9:16 am: I was really hoping the Cards would clinch the
division on Thanksgiving.  That would have been one of the earliest
dates a team clinched I would guess.
[WOLF] 9:17 am: Honestly, I’m not too concerned with the loss.
This team is in transition. They are in the process of becoming a
winning team. Two-steps forward, one-step back.

[aznailer] 9:17 am: still need some parts of the puzzle
[aznailer] 9:17 am: but getting better
[amacc] 9:18 am: I thought that the worst part of the that it looked like
they didn’t show up for the game.  I knew it would be a tough game and
thought it would be a losebecause of the varible but they showed for the
Giants not the Eagles
[WOLF] 9:18 am: I don’t know why Coach Whiz hasn’t given Matt
more reps but I’m sure he has his reasons. If there is one thing
I’ve learned about coach, it’s that he doesn’t do anything

happenstance.
[ndarus] 9:19 am: hi wolf
[Jericho] 9:19 am: Whiz is a good coach who makes sound decisions.
I am looking forward to his development over the next few years.  As he
develops and the team develops they should be a force to reckon with,
as long as they keep their core players.
[WOLF] 9:20 am: They got beat physically. That was the worst part
for me. They played - physically - so well against the Giants and I
thought they might have learned what it takes to play against
good teams. The…Philly happened.

[amacc] 9:20 am: Do you think that all the pass blocking the OLINE
does hurts  their run blocking?  Kurt hasn’t been sacked the last 2
games and the run has been horrible
[WOLF] 9:21 am: I think it can hurt an OL. If you don’t have
success doing something, don’t you get concerned and shy away
from things you don’t do well?

[amacc] 9:21 am: Wolf I am a big dork and am already checking out
mock drafts online, I see them saying the Cards take Alex
[twselectricjim] 9:21 am: This game was their chance to show they
could play on the road against good teams back east.  Now they still
have New England.  I think it shows we can start looking to next year.
This year was too much to ask for.
[amacc] 9:22 am: sorry Alex Mack center from CAL what do you think?
[hulloa] 9:22 am: This team needs to abandon the running game. It
doesn’t work. They need to resort to short quick passes and screens to
try to balance the deep pass.
[Dino S] 9:22 am: To your knowledge, how much time, if any, does Matt
get with the first team in practice?
[ultimateredondo@hotmail.com] 9:23 am: I think the issue with the run
game is that they give up on it so quickly.  The ball is ran one or twice
in a couple of series and as soon is they realize it is not working they
immediately go to pass for very long periods.  This is a trend the
Cardinals continue to throw out there and defenses are starting to pay
attention. The ball needs to be ran much more consistently out of the
I-formation right up with gut with Hightower and Edge. The delay out of
the shotgun has to stop!
[WOLF] 9:23 am: The Cards need to win their division, host a
first-round playoff game and move to the second-round in order
to have a real impact on next season. But I don’t think losing in
the post-season isn’t a great year for this team; it is.

[WOLF] 9:24 am: Matt gets about 10-15% of the reps with the
first-team throughout the week.

[twselectricjim] 9:24 am: Compared to the history of the team I think it
would be a great year, but 2 weeks ago before the Giants and the
Eagles I was hoping for more.
[amacc] 9:25 am: I agree but this game is about overcoming their
fralities for 60 minutes and being Gods decended from Mt. Olympus.  I
love the OLINE and belive in them and Coach Grimm I want to see more
balance, but I don’t believe the game with Kurt at QB can be balanced
what do you think?
[twselectricjim] 9:26 am: Remember St. Louis?
[WOLF] 9:26 am: We all were, my friend. But winning often comes
in increments. The first-year they went 8-8; going 10-6 and
winning your division, hosting a first-round playoff game, would
be a natural progression, don’t you think?

[twselectricjim] 9:27 am: Yes, but in the bloodsport things can happen
quickly.  Sometimes you need to push the progression quickly or you
get left behind without even realizing it.
[amacc] 9:29 am: I still believe that we win 3 of the next four and maybe
NE tough and Peterson is a beast look at the Bears game, 9-7 definetily
10-6 probably 11-5 maybe.  Reguardless I am proud of the team and the
coaching staff.
[WOLF] 9:29 am: Has anyone here ever shied away from
greatness? Have you ever had an opportunity to “go big” and
sabotaged yourself or ignored the opportunity? Just wondering…

[amacc] 9:29 am: yes
[amacc] 9:31 am: That is why I did not play football in high school and
kick myself in the head over it everyday
[WOLF] 9:32 am: There is great responsibility that comes with
being great. Sometimes, it’s easier to eschew success and know
why you failed than it is to put your heart and soul into something
and not know why you failed, isn’t it?

[cardsbeatrams] 9:33 am: Agree 100%.
[WOLF] 9:34 am: My firends, your honesty is heart-warming.
[amacc] 9:34 am: you said it wolf, should have been an english lit major
[cardsbeatrams] 9:35 am: With the month of December do we establish
a run game or do what we do and go into January hoping that gets the
job done.
[WOLF] 9:35 am: I believe the Cards are BECOMING a winning
team. They are in the process of making the transition, changing
the culture, if you will. They need to embrace greatness, set the
bar high and go after it with conviction.

[Jericho] 9:37 am: I think it helps knowing week-in and week-out who
the starting quarterback is.  The team has an identity.
[WOLF] 9:38 am: I think the Cards are-what-they-are at this point
in the season. One of the many things I respect from Coach Whiz
is he isn’t going to commit philosophical sepaku. He wants to be
a run-first team but knows that he doesn’t have the personnel to
do so. Therefore, he adjusts his philosophy to win games.
Hoo-haw.

[amacc] 9:38 am: This year is for building still,next year will be the
breakout for them and we will be there to see it live.  I am excited for
what this team is doing and sad that I might not be able to aford my
playoff seats, but i will have tickets again next year
[twselectricjim] 9:38 am: I like the culture change aspect.  Coaching
staff, players, stadium, and fans have all been adapting to the new look
Cardinals.  It is definitely hard after the last 20 years, though.
[ultimateredondo@hotmail.com] 9:38 am: You’re right…we are
progressing.  But in an era where win now is in such high demand,
passing the ball a majority of the time isn’t going to get it done.  Even
the great teams know this.  The greats like New England, Pittsburgh
may not have consistent 100 yard runners but as long as those runners
are picking up 1st downs, the defense is going to play honest.  We
need to have a running game or the playoffs will be one and done.
[Jericho] 9:39 am: I think the problem in Green Bay is that with Favre
gone the team no longer has an identity and they are struggling to find
it.  The Cards now identify with Warner as their leader.
[WOLF] 9:40 am: It is time for me to shut it down, my friends. I’ll
see you here next week. God Bless!

[cardsbeatrams] 9:40 am: Always love a coach that adjusts to win
games with what he has… no point in forcing something that won’t work.
Ask Rich Rodriguez…
[amacc] 9:40 am: But if Kurt is gone I think they will identify with Matt
[twselectricjim] 9:40 am: Take care
[Jericho] 9:40 am: Have a great week!
[cardsbeatrams] 9:40 am: Sounds good. We’ll see you in TUCSON.
[amacc] 9:40 am: have a great day wolf
[Jericho] 9:41 am: True, amacc.  But for now they identify with Kurt.  It
is tougher when there are rotating quarterbacks.

Wolf’s Chalkboard Chat - 11/24

Welcome! You have entered [Sports 620 KTAR] at 9:17 am
[Blackmaverik] 9:18 am: Hey Wolf, Giants O Line impressed me
[timmyjv] 9:18 am: Hey wolf, Do you think it would be demoralizing if the
Cards would lose Turkeyday?
[WOLF] 9:19 am: The Cards requited themselves well against the
defending Super Bowl champions. Physically, they held up well:
1-sack and only 87-yards rushing by a team that has been killing
people on the ground.

[gmanistheman] 9:19 am: Good Morning Wolf,
[twahlberg] 9:19 am: without brandon jacobs
[frank] 9:20 am: Without Plax as well!
[gmanistheman] 9:20 am: Since you are in a giving mood. What was
your word of the day at 8:50. Thanks
[twahlberg] 9:20 am: don’t you think NY puts up more ground yards with
jacobs? Also, they played with short field on 5 posessions, didn’t need
a lot of yards
[WOLF] 9:21 am: The Giants lost to the Patriots last year and that
loss changed the direction of their team. I think, to some degree,
the same may happen with the Cards.

[James01] 9:21 am: If the special teams (Ware) played better, the
Cards win that game!
[twahlberg] 9:22 am: if my aunt had nuts…..
[timmyjv] 9:22 am: How much of a beat down is the Eagles game going
to be with out Mcnabb
[SREAD] 9:22 am: I think it had more to do with the O line
[WOLF] 9:23 am: The cards had 27-first downs, racked up
371-yards of total offense, converted 3rd downs at a 57% rate, and
only had 3-penalties. They can gain confidence based on how
they played.

[cardsfan] 9:23 am: What was up with Ware? Just caught in bad
situations? And yes I agree they learned they can play with the big
boys but humbled because need to stay focused on correctable easy
mistakes.
[timmyjv] 9:24 am: That was pretty sly of Wiz to try for the LONG field
goal going into the half
[bwat] 9:24 am: whats the rule for trying the free kick?
[WOLF] 9:24 am: The Cards need some grunts/wedge-busters on
their kickoff cover team. They need some big-boys to go in there
and do the dirty work. Until that happens, they might continue to
struggle.

[SREAD] 9:25 am: Even though the kick went, what 10 yards LOL
[j] 9:25 am: I also thought the decision to kick the field goal on first
down at the end of the game was brilliant.  Too many coaches waste
the time going for the touchdown first.  Wiz seems quite savy.
[cardsfan] 9:26 am: There’s an article in the subhead when you get out
of the chat, but basically if you call for a fair catch at any time you can
have a free kick.
[WOLF] 9:27 am: Ken Whisenhunt is an excellent coach. This guy
knows what he is doing and, most impressively, he isn’t falling on
the “sword of philosophy” like some coaches do. He wants to be
a run-first team but he knows they aren’t built that way. This takes
moral courage to not do things the way you are familiar with.

[frank] 9:28 am: Wolf, do you see anyone else but the Giants coming
out of the NFC?
[WOLF] 9:29 am: The Giants are the best team in the league. Now,
that doesn’t mean they can’t be beat but they don’t have a
weakness.

[aznailer] 9:30 am: Is the Cards defense worst problem consistency?
[WOLF] 9:30 am: I felt honored just being able to witness a
free-kick. You just don’t see them anymore.

[James01] 9:31 am: All the experts said the Gmen would pound the
Cards. I didn’t see it that way.
[aznailer] 9:31 am: no the D showed brillence on occasion
[cardsfan] 9:31 am: Before you go Wolf, we need a prediction for
Thursday night. With the Eagles past 2 weeks I think it’s a coin flip.
[timmyjv] 9:31 am: It couldve been alot worse if the mini tank had
played, that dudes a bowling ball
[frank] 9:32 am: Yeah, I think if Jacobs and Plax were at full strength it
could have been a bloodbath.
[WOLF] 9:32 am: The Cards defense played okay, to me. They
lead the NFL in takeaways and they held up - physically - against
the Giants. They need to get better in their 3rd and long defense.
They are the worst in the NFL, allowing opponents to convert 3rd
and 10+ 31% of the time.

[WOLF] 9:34 am: Jacobs is a beast. But the Giants didn’t have
many holes to run the ball. The front-7 for the Cards did a great
job at the point-of-attack.

[trayeight] 9:35 am: wolf, why do you think it is that our kickoff coverage
has been so bad?
[timmyjv] 9:35 am: How big was it for DRC to have big recievers to
practice against to warm up for some of the giants WRs
[WOLF] 9:35 am: I think the Cards win the game against the
Eagles. Although the place will be a zoo, the crowd might turn on
the Eagles if the Red Birds can get a lead early in the game.

[trayeight] 9:35 am: i watched morey go around the wedge instead of
through it on hixon’s second big return
[WOLF] 9:36 am: Scroll up on kickoff cover and you’ll see my
answer.

[WOLF] 9:37 am: Yes, he did go around it. This is a decision Sean
would like back. He’s a great transitional player that just made a
bad judgment.

[aznailer] 9:37 am: it was good to see the discipline in yesterdays game
[cardsfan] 9:37 am: I agree the first quarter is huge… The Philly fans will
be all over the home team if they are down double digits by half.
[aznailer] 9:37 am: will help with future calls
[WOLF] 9:38 am: The turmoil that is going through the Eagles
locker room cannot be overstated. To bench their leader is a big
deal and EVERYONE in that locker room is talking about today.

[WOLF] 9:39 am: All good things must come to an end, my friends.
Thanks for chatting and I’ll see you next week.

[cardsfan] 9:40 am: Thanks Wolf, please come back NFC West
Champs.
[Jericho] 9:40 am: Have a great week!
[Blackmaverik] 9:40 am: Later man

Wolf’s Chalkboard Chat - 11/17

Welcome! You have entered [Sports 620 KTAR] at 9:11 am
[WOLF] 9:13 am: Good day, brothers and sisters. Shakk we?

[eyeshield21] 9:13 am: how bout them 7-3 cardinals!
[rombo99] 9:13 am: We shakk!
[MikeStackpole] 9:13 am: we shakk…
[jstopple] 9:13 am: Fooshaw!
[BigPrestonPump] 9:13 am: indeed
[eyeshield21] 9:13 am: a body in motion stays in motion
[eyeshield21] 9:13 am: lol
[Jarrod] 9:14 am: Giants  17-1 in their last 18 games
[WOLF] 9:14 am: Something smells different about this season,
doesn’t it?

[eyeshield21] 9:15 am: it smells good, Wolf
[jemeser] 9:15 am: Wolf, Collins vs. Warner for MVP. How does the
10-0 vs. 7-3 record effect voting? Is that more important than total yards,
completion % etc? How can they compare these two?
[MikeStackpole] 9:15 am: the butterflies in the stomach are fading when
things get tight.
[eyeshield21] 9:15 am: i wonder how our O-line is going to stack up with
that talented front 7 of the NY Giants
[WOLF] 9:15 am: It smells like baked bread on a summer day
[rbritt] 9:15 am: Did Kurt get injured yesterday?
[Jarrod] 9:15 am: NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
[Jarrod] 9:16 am: Sorry, NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME    AZ vs NY in NY
[dawgpound69] 9:16 am: How sweat it is
[BigPrestonPump] 9:16 am: sweat??
[jstopple] 9:16 am: Is it just me or are offensive blocking schemes
getting more vanilla especially in the running game?
[WOLF] 9:16 am: The Giants pass rush - on film - is the best I’ve
seen!

[eyeshield21] 9:16 am: it smells like the hostess factory on 35th ave
[MikeW] 9:16 am: Wolf, how would you assess coach Haley’s play
calling in the 4th quarter?
[ikonge09] 9:16 am: 2 glove kurt MVP?
[WOLF] 9:16 am: Kurt is fine.
[eyeshield21] 9:16 am: delicious
[rbritt] 9:17 am: Why can’t we run the ball?
[Blackmaverik] 9:17 am: I still cannot believe that “our Card’s” are 4
games ABOVE 500!!
[Jarrod] 9:17 am: O LINE
[eyeshield21] 9:17 am: i thought we ran pretty good yesterday actually
[eyeshield21] 9:17 am: the draw plays worked toperfection
[jstopple] 9:17 am: I meant throughout the NFL
[MikeStackpole] 9:17 am: Wolf, do the Giants have any particular
weakness that the Cardinals are ready to exploit?
[WOLF] 9:17 am: The blocking schemes need to be as vanilla as
they can be. They don’t need to complicate the issue.

[Sunsmortman] 9:17 am: What about JJ
[jstopple] 9:18 am: That has to do with the speed of the game?
[eyeshield21] 9:18 am: JJ is really coming into his own isnt he?
[shatch] 9:18 am: At what point can we enter the WOD?
[dawgpound69] 9:18 am: JJ looks good
[Sunsmortman] 9:18 am: Yes he is
[eyeshield21] 9:18 am: and DRC looks like a playmaker
[rbritt] 9:18 am: Why do we try and run the ball in side the red zone? I
thought we were #1 in red zone last year. What are we this years?
[eyeshield21] 9:18 am: what a talented young man
[Jarrod] 9:18 am: IMO the only weakness the Cards can expose is their
secondary- I think we can score 30 on them– if we finish..
[WOLF] 9:18 am: The Giants have NO weaknesses that I can
decipher. That’s why they are #1 in my power poll.
[Jarrod] 9:19 am: Agree with them beign #1 over Tennesee
[zonaman] 9:19 am: eli manning is a weakness doug
[eyeshield21] 9:19 am: our run game is the short passing slant, thats all
that matters
[zonaman] 9:19 am: and wolf
[WOLF] 9:19 am: How many teams can you say have “no
weaknesses?”

[eyeshield21] 9:19 am: until a team can stop our aerial attack, dont
worry about the run
[Jarrod] 9:19 am: eli is 27-9 as a starter with a ring.  weak how?
[ikonge09] 9:19 am: do we have shot to beat them?
[phillye] 9:19 am: ok then WOLF, how do the cards beat the gents? do
you think Kurt will pass for over 300?
[zonaman] 9:19 am: eli throws picks all the time
[MikeStackpole] 9:19 am: That’s scary… so playing here (at home) is
our only advantage?
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: eli can lose confidence when he throws a pick
[zonaman] 9:20 am: pressure him with 4 or 5
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: our D is gunna have to make plays
[jstopple] 9:20 am: A team can have no weaknesses but still lose to
another team executing perfectly.
[Jarrod] 9:20 am: so does favre, kurt, and collins
[Jarrod] 9:20 am: for teh record, I am NOT a NYG fan
[eyeshield21] 9:20 am: i think this game will once again be decided on
the turnover ratio
[dodgedan] 9:20 am: Keeping thier Offense off the field will help the
CARDS
[rbritt] 9:20 am: We should be able to win the game this week if we
pressure Eli. The D is going to be the Key to game for us.
[zonaman] 9:20 am: defense will be the deciding factor next week
[WOLF] 9:21 am: The Cards need to play a near perfect game:
protect the ball, take the ball away and limit their penalties. They
also need to get better on their cover teams in transition.

[movewith fred] 9:21 am: I think we have a shot. Dont forget the 12 man.
This Game is AT HOME.
[zonaman] 9:21 am: and how often kurt turns the ball over
[zonaman] 9:21 am: and yes, penalties need to stop
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: cover teams has been hurt ever since Highsmith
was lost for the season…
[Jarrod] 9:21 am: the best way to beat the Giants is time mangement,
smart d and finishing.  they need TD’s not Fg’s
[Jericho] 9:21 am: Hopefully DRC will have another monster game like
yesterday against the Giants!
[dodgedan] 9:21 am: How many penalties did Seattle end up with. How
does a team have no penalties throught the 3rd Quarter?
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: DRC sure is fast to the ball isnt he?
[Blackmaverik] 9:22 am: We really NEED to score TOUCHDOWNS in
the Red Zone
[MikeStackpole] 9:22 am: Why are we having so many penalties? Brain
fades, excitement, or some combination thereof?
[Jarrod] 9:22 am: no penalties= uninspired play
[fjm235] 9:22 am: Gmen lost to the Browns, so anything is possible.
[zonaman] 9:22 am: i think the cardinals should pass every down
[WOLF] 9:22 am: The problem for our defense is clear: they need
to stop the run by committing 8 men in-the-box but that leaves
the corners singled up on the perimeter.

[eyeshield21] 9:22 am: also the G men have a 3 headed run attack
[Blackmaverik] 9:22 am: FG’s are ok, but we need to get back to
Touchdowns
[eyeshield21] 9:22 am: it wont be easy
[Jarrod] 9:22 am: our corners can handle their recievers Wolf, I am more
worried about our O-line protecting Warner long enough
[eyeshield21] 9:23 am: Rackers seems to be back in form, he really is
on page with Johnson
[Jarrod] 9:23 am: do you think the Cards would be better off with leinhart
[zonaman] 9:23 am: im kinda surprised that rackers made all of those
[Jarrod] 9:23 am: JUST KIDDING
[zonaman] 9:23 am: no jarrod, cards need to resign warner to another 2
year deal
[eyeshield21] 9:23 am: rackers didnt even make it seem dramatic
either, they were almost all down the middle
[WOLF] 9:23 am: Rod Hood was banged up and I don’t know what
his status will be on Sunday. Ralph Brown did fill in nicely but…

[zonaman] 9:24 am: cut edge, resign warner, draft another QB
[rbritt] 9:24 am: Brown did a great job
[eyeshield21] 9:24 am: without hood, we are left with green as
emergency…
[eyeshield21] 9:24 am: thats not good
[bomber] 9:24 am: NO WAY #777777777777777777777777777 SIT ON
THE BENCH
[fjm235] 9:24 am: What about Eric Green?
[dodgedan] 9:24 am: Brown was ok
[zonaman] 9:24 am: brown did well
[Jarrod] 9:24 am: zonaman- agreed-  but teh QB needs to be a future
team Qb that Warner can groom
[eyeshield21] 9:24 am: ralph brown came up big with that deflection in
the end zone
[Blackmaverik] 9:24 am: Will we lose A Dub to a suspension?
[rbritt] 9:24 am: Brown should play before green.
[zonaman] 9:25 am: leinart is a liability, i think injuries will cut his
career short, we need another qb
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: if a dub is suspended then they should just go
ahead and put flags on the waists of QBs from now on
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: it was a clean hit
[Jarrod] 9:25 am: zonaman-  agreed,
[zonaman] 9:26 am: so wolf is chatting, wheres doug?
[Blackmaverik] 9:26 am: And dress them in SKIRTS!!
[Jarrod] 9:26 am: finding his socks..
[jemeser] 9:26 am: Nice to see how the Cards are exorcising the
demons that have plagued the franchise. Still more work to do and this
week is a litmus test, but they have indeed come a long, long way.
[eyeshield21] 9:26 am: his long lost socks
[rbritt] 9:26 am: Wilson should not be suspended
eyeshield21] 9:26 am: clean hit
[eyeshield21] 9:26 am: not helmet to helmet whatsoever
[WOLF] 9:26 am: The NFL better be careful with all of these fines
and flags. We are tribal people and we love the aggressive
nature of the game. Mess with this at your own peril.

[rbritt] 9:26 am: Doug are you out there?
[rbritt] 9:27 am: Yes!!!!!!!!! he is
[Jericho] 9:27 am: It’s Wolf’s Chalk Talk, not Doug’s Chalk Talk.
[zonaman] 9:27 am: what an intognatious outlook wolf
[eyeshield21] 9:27 am: is nice to see more people wearing cardinals
jerseys in the basin
[Jarrod] 9:27 am: Wolf- funny you say that- we watched an old NFL
game from teh early 80’s and teh speed and htitign were great..
[ecaringo] 9:27 am: Wolf, in the past, Clancy use to go with five d
lineman to stop the run. What do you think about using to stop Giants
running game?
[MikeStackpole] 9:27 am: Any sense why the NFL is handing out all
those fines? Is it to protect players, or protect (somehow) the image of
the game?
[Jarrod] 9:27 am: two words- ARLIN SPECTOR
[zonaman] 9:28 am: doug had to take a nap?
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: its to protect the QB since apparently ppl like
high scoring games
[jemeser] 9:28 am: I do prefer the old game, head slaps and no skirts
on QBs. Can you elaborate on how the game has changed since you
started and ended your career and since it ended?
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: a win is a win no matter what the score
[zonaman] 9:28 am: dont forget those paralyzed players and
concussion injuries
[Jarrod] 9:28 am: 1960s-  players were barbarians
[zonaman] 9:29 am: NFL doesnt want to pay for care after they are out
of the league
[eyeshield21] 9:29 am: that could be it too
[eyeshield21] 9:29 am: nice point zona
[Jarrod] 9:29 am: 1970’s players were men   1980s- players were tough
1990s players were whiny  2000s players are pussified rich guys
[bob] 9:29 am: Wolf
[WOLF] 9:29 am: I don’t think stopping the run is about putting an
extra DL into the game, it’s more about how your best players
approach the game. You don’t want to put an extra DL into the
game for the sake of stopping the run, you want to put your best
players on the field and use the scheme to control the run. Does
that make sense?

[aodogui] 9:29 am: Does anyone think that JJ should be taking kickoff
returns instead of Breston
[zonaman] 9:29 am: wolf, just put #24 on the line!
[MikeStackpole] 9:30 am: very good senes… challenge them as men to
do thier jobs.
[Blackmaverik] 9:30 am: They don’t care about running backs or
defensive players do they
[Jarrod] 9:30 am: I agree Wolf- use the best 11 D Men you have and
stick to your normal schemes
[zonaman] 9:30 am: no aodogui, breaston is in my fantasy linup!
[eyeshield21] 9:30 am: if you put 24 on the line they will find a way to
fine him, lol
[bob] 9:30 am: Wolf
[eyeshield21] 9:30 am: this NFL head office seems to think A Dub is a
dirty player
[Jarrod] 9:31 am: if teh Cards win, they are 8-3, Giants 9-2  Imagine an
NFC Championship game here
[WOLF] 9:31 am: Stack…welcome, my brother!
[eyeshield21] 9:31 am: p-p-playoffs?! are you kidding me? playoffs?!
[MikeStackpole] 9:31 am: heh, glad to be here, Wolf
[eyeshield21] 9:31 am: lol
[rbritt] 9:31 am: Wolf, when a player gets a fine do they pay for it or
does the team pick it up for them?
[Jarrod] 9:31 am: Wolf- are you gusy sharing a computer?
[jemeser] 9:31 am: NFC champ game could be here. Giants play
Panthers in week 16…one must lose.
[WOLF] 9:32 am: The player pays the fine himself!
[Blackmaverik] 9:32 am: How can they fine you if the refs don’t even
think it was a rough hit?
[Jarrod] 9:32 am: james-  or tie- did you see yesterdays debacle?
[Blackmaverik] 9:32 am: No FLAG!!
[eyeshield21] 9:32 am: i wonder what happens if the superbowl ends in
a tie…
[eyeshield21] 9:32 am: man what was mcnabb thinking
[zonaman] 9:32 am: haha tell me youre kidding
[Jarrod] 9:33 am: donovan? is that you>  mc stupid
[WOLF] 9:33 am: People of the Basin, you do believe McNabb did
not know that an NFL game could end in a tie?

[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: wake up mcfly!
[Jarrod] 9:33 am: see what concussions can do
[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: it sure sounded like he didnt, wolf
[bob] 9:33 am: Wolf. As big as L. Pope is, why could’t he run over the
back yesterday after his catch?
[Jarrod] 9:33 am: I do beleive he had no idea-
[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: either that or he hasnt masteres the art of
sarcasm
[MikeStackpole] 9:33 am: I guess he missed the memo…
[zonaman] 9:33 am: LOL Pope got romped!
[eyeshield21] 9:34 am: they cut down Pope’s legs
[eyeshield21] 9:34 am: it was sick lol
[zonaman] 9:34 am: he needs to lower his shoulders
[jemeser] 9:34 am: I think he did not know.
[zonaman] 9:34 am: hes 6 freakin 7
[eyeshield21] 9:34 am: how about Levi rumblin and tumblin 10 yards for
a 4 yard gain?
[WOLF] 9:34 am: Leonard has got to become more physical and
he must get in the weight room, get stronger and use his size to
his advantage.

[zonaman] 9:34 am: Quan wouldve leveled that DB
[eyeshield21] 9:34 am: Levi should be our running back…
[eyeshield21] 9:34 am: jk
[zonaman] 9:35 am: haha Levi Brown, takin handoffs
[eyeshield21] 9:35 am: id love to see a levi brown juke move lmao
[zonaman] 9:35 am: reminiscent of the buss
[eyeshield21] 9:35 am: the slowest spin imaginable
[Blackmaverik] 9:35 am: So tell him to do that Wolf, LOL
[WOLF] 9:35 am: Anquan Boldin: Abandon all hope ye who enter
here…

[Jarrod] 9:35 am: g
[eyeshield21] 9:35 am: you cant tackle the quan!
[rbritt] 9:35 am: Pope lacks heart. He need to talk to Boldin about that.
[MikeStackpole] 9:36 am: He is impressive… the Man with the Iron
Face.
[Jarrod] 9:36 am: Pope is a waste  IMO
[jemeser] 9:36 am: If McNabb really didn’t know, could that have
effected his play in OT? Thinking he’d get another OT if still tied at the
end of first OT?
[eyeshield21] 9:36 am: Anquan Boldin is Iron Man
[WOLF] 9:36 am: Iron Man…hmmmm
[zonaman] 9:36 am: cardinals shoulda took gonzalez from the chiefs
when they had the chance
[Jarrod] 9:36 am: zona  agreed, but they are ok
[eyeshield21] 9:36 am: Warner for MVP, fooshaw!!!
[eyeshield21] 9:37 am: when warner goes 395 passing yards, 1 td and 1
int and THAT is considered a so-so day, you know he is tearing it up
[zonaman] 9:37 am: hmmm, fitz and quan on the outside, breaston in
the slot, gonzo on the line
[zonaman] 9:37 am: who do you cover?
[WOLF] 9:37 am: I know Coach Whiz is not happy with the TE’s on
this team. Spach is the best blocker the Cards have and he’s only
been here a few weeks.

[rbritt] 9:37 am: I can give out a FOOSHAW to Warner
[WOLF] 9:37 am: Fooshaw!!!!
[eyeshield21] 9:37 am: now DBs have to cover Levi as well… lol
[rbritt] 9:38 am: FOOSHAW to the CARDS 7-3
[WOLF] 9:38 am: Basinonians…I must leave. Until we meet again.
Fooshaw!!!

[zonaman] 9:38 am: we’ve got our own 3-headed running attack
[eyeshield21] 9:38 am: FOOSHAW
[MikeStackpole] 9:38 am: Bye, Wolf
[zonaman] 9:38 am: foosh
[Jarrod] 9:38 am: FOOSHAW BROTHA
[Jarrod] 9:39 am: GO TEXAS TECH!!!!!
[bob] 9:39 am: Wolf. Do you think we will see Anquan use his
quarterback skills and throw a bomb before the end of the year
[aodogui] 9:39 am: Later man
[Blackmaverik] 9:39 am: Fooshaw Wolf, later
[Jericho] 9:39 am: FOOSHAW!!
MikeStackpole waves goodbye
[bomber] 9:39 am: FOOSHAW%^$##&&%## TO THE GIANT FANS
[phillye] 9:41 am:
[zonaman] 9:41 am: droppin like flies
[zonaman] 9:42 am: i think ill drop too, peace out all
[newzzero] 9:42 am: Did Shaq deserve the Flagrant 2??
[zonaman] 9:42 am: haha law of physics
[zonaman] 9:42 am: my ass
[zonaman] 9:43 am: if shaq knows physics so well, he should know
when to stop
[newzzero] 9:43 am: Good point.  It cant be easy stopping all of that
mass.
[zonaman] 9:44 am: then again, hes the guy who thinks the pethagorian
therom has no answer
[zonaman] 9:44 am: shh… no one tell him its C squared
[newzzero] 9:44 am: lol
[newzzero] 9:44 am: he must not be looking at a right triangle
[zonaman] 9:45 am: thats what makes him special
[zonaman] 9:45 am: sad that him and i share the same bday
[newzzero] 9:45 am: ha!
[Jarrod] 9:46 am: So, does anyone really feel the Cards can go 11-5 and
get to the NFC championship game?  That was my pre season
prediction.
[zonaman] 9:46 am: that means 4-2 the rest of the way
[zonaman] 9:46 am: i dont have a schedule in front of me, how many
home games left?
[newzzero] 9:47 am: we play the rams, and the seahawks
again…regardless of if its home or away we should get those.
[Jarrod] 9:47 am: 4 more  giants rams vikes and sea hawks  road
against NE and Phily
[zonaman] 9:48 am: cards playin in the cold in phily and NE huh, theres
your two losses
[Jarrod] 9:48 am: i say win against St Louis, MIn, Sea, PHi  lose
against NYG and NE
[zonaman] 9:48 am: rams, vikes, seahawks
[zonaman] 9:48 am: all winable
[zonaman] 9:48 am: giants
[zonaman] 9:49 am: this is where they prove their worth
[zonaman] 9:49 am: cards can prove to the world they are for real next
sunday
[Jarrod] 9:49 am: exactly-  if they are for real they should win one on the
road out east in the winter..
[zonaman] 9:49 am: yes they need one on the road
[zonaman] 9:50 am: they should be thinking homefield advantage
[zonaman] 9:50 am: cuz they aint winnin in NY
[newzzero] 9:50 am: THANKSGIVING!
[Jarrod] 9:51 am: That is this weekends game- homefield advantage
Funny how now that the Cards are worth a damn, every week seems
like an “important” game
[zonaman] 9:52 am: every game is important, at least when you are
tryin to get homefield
[zonaman] 9:52 am: each game has its own meaning
[newzzero] 9:52 am: With the Cardinals past, everygame IS important!
[Jarrod] 9:52 am: It is kind of nice to be in November and not thinkign
about teh Suns at all..
[zonaman] 9:52 am: cards lost 5 in a row in seattle
[zonaman] 9:52 am: so yesterday was a big game
[zonaman] 9:53 am: cards have been bad on MNF, so last week was a
big game
[zonaman] 9:53 am: next week NY is in AZ for the first time since they
beat the Pats, and they have the best record in the NFC
[zonaman] 9:53 am: so yeah, big game
[zonaman] 9:54 am: then they have a short week and travel to philly for
a thursday night game
[zonaman] 9:54 am: gonna be cold!
[zonaman] 9:54 am: thats the road game they have to win
[Jarrod] 9:54 am: This is exciting- if the Cards win, look for a crazy
scene
[zonaman] 9:54 am: i expect them to go undefeated against our division
the rest of the way
[zonaman] 9:54 am: as they have thus far
[Jarrod] 9:55 am: why not- they all suck LOL
[zonaman] 9:55 am: minnesota can be a trap game
[zonaman] 9:55 am: they have talent and can surprise people
[Jarrod] 9:55 am: nah, i say that is teh easiest game the rest of teh way
[zonaman] 9:55 am: peterson is a game changer
[zonaman] 9:55 am: barrian can change a game
[Jarrod] 9:56 am: I LOVE Peterson
[Jarrod] 9:56 am: not in that way of course
[Sunsmortman] 9:56 am: jj is your secret wepon
[zonaman] 9:56 am: ferrotte, though old, can still find them down field
[zonaman] 9:56 am: and MIN has a good defense
[zonaman] 9:56 am: cards need to be careful with MIN
[Jarrod] 9:56 am: I think the defense in Minn is underrated because the
offense doesnt score enough. does that make sense?
[zonaman] 9:57 am: spread them out
[zonaman] 9:57 am: all that matters is wins and losses, everything is
overlooked if you dont win
[Jarrod] 9:58 am: agree- i will take an ugly win over a pretty loss
[zonaman] 9:58 am: cards have been winning ugly havent they
[Jarrod] 9:58 am: yes, but to me that is a sign of a good team- they can
win the clsoe, ugly games
[zonaman] 9:59 am: agree
[Jarrod] 9:59 am: hey man, back to work i go-  have a gret day brotha
[zonaman] 9:59 am: you too

Wolf’s Chalkboard Chat - 11/3

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!!!

Wolf’s Chalkboard Chat - 10/27

Welcome! You have entered [Sports 620 KTAR] at 9:17 am
[RASVEGAS] 9:17 am: Wolf…what did you think of that run by steve
smith where he clearly stepped out of bounds?
[RASVEGAS] 9:18 am: I know they should have made the tacke…but…
[WOLF] 9:18 am: Good morning, my friends.
[eyeshield21] 9:18 am: morning wolf
[thespiderbat] 9:18 am: morning wolf
[RASVEGAS] 9:18 am: Good morning my brutha
[eyeshield21] 9:19 am: do you think that the Cardinals will ever learn
how to wrap up when tackling?
[WOLF] 9:19 am: What shall we discuss?
[RASVEGAS] 9:19 am: That steve smith OUT OF BOUNDS TD
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:19 am: Can we start with why the officiating differs
from state to state??
[dg06] 9:19 am: Dirk Johnson messing up on two key plays
[thespiderbat] 9:19 am: Heartbreaker yesterday, but i think it will
motivate them and they will rip the Rams up.
[WOLF] 9:20 am: Steve Smith was out of bounds. His cleat mark
proved it.

[RASVEGAS] 9:20 am: Yes indeed!  Robbed again!!!!!!!!!
[RASVEGAS] 9:20 am: They still should have wrapped him up and
made that tackle though
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:20 am: Rolle should have made that tackles’
[WOLF] 9:20 am: Dirk Johnson had a tough day but he’s punting
much better and that’s encouraging.
[thespiderbat] 9:20 am: It happens alot in the NFL, it’s not perfect
[cbobstay] 9:20 am: Just wanted to say I like where the programming is
headed.
[Mike] 9:21 am: Maybe he should pass with his leg!
[RASVEGAS] 9:21 am: Love the chat Wolf
[eyeshield21] 9:21 am: Do punters ever practice throwing the ball?
Because Dirk sure did lob that ball very softly
[RASVEGAS] 9:21 am: Seems like y’all are making improvements on a
weekly basis.  LOVE IT!!!
[thespiderbat] 9:21 am: he’s a punter what do you want?
[WOLF] 9:21 am: The tackling yesterday was as bad as it was
good against the Cowboys. Take away the Marion Barber 70 TD
play and the Cards tackled better than I’ve seen them in years.

[RASVEGAS] 9:21 am: God Bless everybody…I gotta TRY to get some
work done!!!
[RASVEGAS] 9:22 am: Yer right Wolf!  As usual my brutha.  later
[dg06] 9:22 am: I want him to do his job, which is handle a snap and get
it down for the extra point attempt
[WOLF] 9:22 am: Dirk practiced that play all week and he did it
well but it’s a different ballgame on Sunday.

[Mike] 9:23 am: I LOVE the fact that Whiz called that fake kick.  The
strategy was sound.  The execution failed.
[dg06] 9:23 am: I still like the play call
[eyeshield21] 9:23 am: Do you think Edge will see his role decreased
after his speaking to the media before the game and then his poor
performance on Sunday?
[thespiderbat] 9:23 am: Wolf what do you see the record at at the end of
the season?
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:23 am: Wolf-are we going to see Edge less and
less or same as usual. It may be time to move on now that we got
Hightower and we culd use the money on Boldin or Dansby?
[WOLF] 9:23 am: The startegy was sound. I’d rather have a coach
that isn’t afraid to make a call than one that worried about what
others might say.

[Mike] 9:24 am: Right on!
[aodogui] 9:24 am: What is the deal with Rolle he is not looking too
good he needs to wrap up instead of just trying to hit guys with his
shoulder.
[thespiderbat] 9:24 am: Really want to see the Cards keep Q, Dansby,
A-Dub, and Big Gabe
[WOLF] 9:24 am: Speaking out and fumbling in a game is usually
not a good combination.

[eyeshield21] 9:24 am: Aaron Francisco did the same thing on the TD
run
[nferriby] 9:25 am: Wolf, when you watch the replay of the hit Anquan
took do you think both players should have been fined? -To me it looked
like they BOTH were trying to use the helmut as a weapon.
[eyeshield21] 9:25 am: Dude Quan was defenseless, he didnt even see
the hit coming
[Mike] 9:25 am: Was Aaron healthy enough to play effectively?  He’s
usually doesn’t miss too many tackles.
[nferriby] 9:26 am: true that eyeshield!
[WOLF] 9:26 am: I worry about Antrelle Rolle and his tackling
ability. I have been ripped for this on many message boards but
your safety is the last line of defense. They are called safeties for
a reason. He needs to tackle better.

[laslar2@cox.net] 9:26 am: Was it me or did it look like there was some
holding going on with one of the receivers on that last 3rd and long play
that bascially sealed the game?
[WOLF] 9:27 am: Aaron Francisco is one of my favorite p[layers
but he needs to wrap when he tackles!

[eyeshield21] 9:27 am: Rod Hood did a good job on Steve Smith, but it
boggles the mind to think that the Cardinals didnt shade a safety over to
help Hood on both his TD catches.
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:27 am: yup
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:28 am: BUt thats football-it’s bascially a guessing
game
[eyeshield21] 9:28 am: true but with a guy of Smith’s speed and caliber,
you should always have a safety on him
[WOLF] 9:28 am: They put a safety over the top on his 65-yard TD
but didn’t on the fade-route. Rod Hood did do a great job.
[WOLF] 9:29 am: Was anyone else disappointed in how our
defense responded once the team went up 17-3?

[eyeshield21] 9:30 am: Its like they fell asleep
[eyeshield21] 9:30 am: i mean they contained the panthers ebautifully
for the first half
[eyeshield21] 9:30 am: and then suddenly there was no fire
[Mike] 9:30 am: Wolf…..  Couldn’t agree more with your Singletary
take.  I loved his passion, but if he pulls that crap on a daily basis he’s
toast.  Let’s hope he keeps it up until after the Cards play them on
Monday night :o)
[mitch] 9:30 am: I still thought the touchdown should have been
reversed, but then again the tackles should have been made as well.
Does anyone think the game out come would have changed if the call
was reversed?
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:30 am: Seemed like they relaxed. I was telling my
buddies that they had never been in that position before, so they”ll
probably screw it up and they did.
[WOLF] 9:31 am: The Panthers ran six-plays: +14, +13, +31, +3, +4,
+15 (TD).

[centers37] 9:31 am: What your thoughts on why the Cardinals def
came out so flat in the second half?
[nferriby] 9:31 am: Yeah I was thinking maybe they CAN win on the
road and then it reminded me of the Bears Monday Night Game!
[eyeshield21] 9:31 am: foosha!
[WOLF] 9:31 am: Yeah, Sing Sing can’t be a screamer every day.
It won’t work…but he knows this, my friend.

[eyeshield21] 9:32 am: Do you think we will see more of this spread
ofeense or is it more of a take what the defense will give you approach?
The panthers did a great job of containing our run yesterday.
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:32 am: word.
[aodogui] 9:33 am: Where was the blitzing we needed to get after their
QB more. It worked earlier with dansby.
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:33 am: they stopped the run cause edge is about
as fast as my lawn mower!
[dg06] 9:33 am: What are some positives you take from yesterdays
loss, is it safe to say Kurt Warner is locked in!
[cardsfan15] 9:33 am: What are you thoughts on getting away from the
run game so much?
[eyeshield21] 9:33 am: Tim Hightower was stuffed as well, save for his
touchdown run he got nothing on his runs
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:34 am: yeah but edge drives me crazy some
times…
[eyeshield21] 9:34 am: yeah Edge is done in AZ for all intents and
purposes
[WOLF] 9:34 am: The Cards only dressed 1-TE for the game
because Pope and Patrick were hurt. This limited what the Cards
could do in the running game. But make no mistake, we throw
the ball better than we run it. So why run it? To prove a
philosophy?

[laslar2@cox.net] 9:34 am: Wolf’s the man
[centers37] 9:35 am: tru
[nferriby] 9:35 am: Warner is such a great passer, they should just stick
with what they know works.
[WOLF] 9:35 am: I would like to be a balanced team, offensively.
But I would prefer to win. Does this make sense?

[eyeshield21] 9:35 am: its true but its nice to be able to control the
clock in the second half when we needed it
[mitch] 9:35 am: They couldn’t stop the pass.  I questioned why we
even tried to run.
[nferriby] 9:35 am: the wr’s we have are very talented too.
[Mike] 9:35 am: What’s the poop with Pope?  I know injuries are
unavoidable, but, in your opinion, is he soft?  He doesn’t get down the
field after a catch.  He seems to get knocked over by the wind if they
leave the doors open too long!
[WOLF] 9:36 am: I agree, but don’t give up on the running game
just yet. Remember, they couldn’t use one of their favorite run
personnel groups: 2-TE’s.

[laslar2@cox.net] 9:36 am: I heard some crap about the cards high
powered passing offense is eqevilant to the suns with d’antonie…simular
in the fact that it can’t win championships-break it down for me wolf..
[eyeshield21] 9:37 am: the high power offense can win if we could
actually tackle on defense, lol
[centers37] 9:37 am: will the Cardinals make an attempt to bring in
another TE this week ?
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:37 am: Is Chuck Cecil still in shape??
[WOLF] 9:37 am: Did the Ramd win a SB being one-dimensional?
Yes. How about the Ravens? All they could do is run the ball.
Scooring points is what matters.

[aodogui] 9:37 am: Man Warner looked good yesterday and he didn’t
even have much time. He took many hits, what a warrior.
[nico] 9:37 am: the defense looked good the first half but then decided
not to tackle
[mitch] 9:38 am: No don’t give up on the running game.  But against this
defense the run should have been thrown out the window.  We have the
best passing team in the league.
[eyeshield21] 9:38 am: Warner looked very mobile in the Pocket, I was
really impressed with Warner’s footwork
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:38 am: dido
[WOLF] 9:39 am: Kurt Warner is playing at a Pro Bowl level.
Shoot, if the Cards won more games he’d be an MVP candidate
right now!

[laslar2@cox.net] 9:39 am: Does the coach ever do tackleing drills-like
back to the basics tackling drills?
[Mike] 9:39 am: Amen
[eyeshield21] 9:40 am: Well Warner heads back to the Dome, he
always does great there. I dont see anything on the Rams defense to
stop us. Hopefully we can pull out a W.
[WOLF] 9:40 am: It’s hard to do LIVE tackling drills in practice
once the season starts. You can’t afford to have injuries. But the
cards aren’t alone in this.

[laslar2@cox.net] 9:41 am: It makes sense but all that money for a
shoulder or arm tackle is kinda BS….it looked like the special teams
was tackling better yesterday.
[WOLF] 9:42 am: Brothers and Sisters. it is time for me to go.
Thank you for joining me in this chat and I’ll see you next week
at 9:15.
[WOLF] 9:42 am: PEACE

[eyeshield21] 9:42 am: later Wolf
[mitch] 9:42 am: Warner will make the pro bowl, as long as he stays
healthy all season.  The 5 receiver set looked great.  They need to stick
with their strenghts
[centers37] 9:42 am: thanks Wolf
[aodogui] 9:42 am: later Wolf.
[laslar2@cox.net] 9:42 am: later wolf
[nferriby] 9:42 am: ttyl
