Cardinals commit 12 penalites

Published by Doug & Wolf on September 15, 2009 in Show recap. 0 Comments

Here’s what happened Monday on Doug and Wolf:

Doug and Wolf are LIVE from the Cardinals Headquarters in Tempe

* The Cardinals committed 12 penalties and Kurt Warner threw two interceptions in yesterday’s 20-16 loss against the SF 49ers. Are the Cardinals still a good team?

* Carolina Panthers’ QB Jake Delhomme throws four interceptions, Favre wins his debut with the Vikings, Mark Sanchez looks solid in his first career NFL game, and McNabb cracks a rib. How will some mediocre Monday Night Football games compete with these storylines?

* The Pac-10 delivered this weekend in college football… USC comes back to win at Ohio State, and UCLA beats Tennessee. Is the conference finally on the verge of being considered one of the best?

* The D-backs were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers and have lost 10 of their last 12 games. Is there any silver lining to this dismal season?

Grid Iron Griddle:

Michigan QB Tate Forcier calls out Notre Dame’s coaching decisions after the Wolverines beat the Fighting Irish. Apparently a true freshman knows more than veteran head coach Charlie Weiss.

Guests:

Kevin Spencer, Cardinals Special Teams Coach: Coach discussed some of the positives to take away from yesterday’s loss, but said the team is going to have to make some changes

Ken Whisenhunt, Cardinals Head Coach: Coach talked about what little things the Cards need to work on, and cautioned fans not to worry because it’s only the first game.

Here’s what happened Friday on Doug and Wolf:

Doug and Wolf are LIVE from the Library in Tempe for Fooshaw Friday

* Anquan Boldin’s status for the Cards home opener this Sunday is still questionable. Can the Cards win without Q?

* Oakland Raiders’ newly acquired defensive lineman Richard Seymour has yet to report to Oakland… Just another typical week for Al Davis and his Raiders.

* The Pac-10 has some huge football games this weekend, including USC at Ohio State. If the conference delivers, could they be considered the top in the nation?

* Troy Palamalu fell victim to the Madden curse last night against the Titans. Does Larry Fitzgerald, who is also on the cover of the game, hold the same fate?

Published by Doug & Wolf on September 3, 2009 in Show recap. 0 Comments

Here’s what happened Wednesday on Doug and Wolf:

Rookie Beanie Wells had seven carries for 46 yards and two touchdowns in just one preseason game. But competing incumbent Tim Hightower has a preseason total of 104 yards and 24 carries. Should Beanie Wells be the starter over Tim Hightower?

* The D-backs end their winning streak last night with a loss to the Dodgers 4-3. Are you encouraged by the bullpen in 2010?

How much does Wolf love Beanie?

Published by Doug & Wolf on September 1, 2009 in Show recap. 0 Comments

Here’s what happened Monday on Doug and Wolf:

* The Cards’ starters were pushed around by the Packers last Friday, losing 44 – 37. Rookie Beanie Wells looked solid with 7 carries and 2 TD’s. How deep is Wolf’s love for Beanie?
