Here’s what went down Monday on G&A…

Statement Made…The Cards are flying high after Sunday’s win over the Giants. G&A are beyond impressed at what Ken Whisenhunt’s team did on the national stage in New York. Ash feels the win lost a little luster after what the unbeaten Saints did to the Giants last week in New Orleans, but knows the Cards wouldn’t win a game like this last year. Gambo says priority number one is getting to the playoffs and Sunday’s win will go a long ways in attaining that goal, especially coupled with the 49ers loss to the Texans in Houston.

Road Warriors…The Cards are 3-0 on the road for the first time since 1987 when they weren’t located in Arizona. The times have certainly changed for one of the NFL’s worst road teams in recent past. Gambo is certain the Cards will have their first winning record on the road since 1976. John says it isn’t too early to look at playoff seeding because this team has proven they expect to win when they leave University of Phoenix Stadium. Mark remembered when the Birds went 0-8 on the road not too long ago. Mark loves the balance (explosive offense, steady defense) the team is playing with right now. G&A concur great teams find ways to win on the road.

Beanie Breaks Out…Just when you were certain the Cards had absolutely no run game, the Red Birds unleashed a focused, hungry, tough Beanie Wells who ripped off some big runs, including his first career NFL touchdown in Sunday’s upset win over the Giants. Both aren’t so high on Wells to overlook his fumble which luckily trickled out of bounds, but know the future is in his hands with a combination of power, speed, and elusiveness to drive defenses crazy for years to come. G&A concur Tim Hightower provides a nice change-of-pace from Wells, but know #26 has far more big-play ability of the two.

Return to Glory…The Yankees are back in the World Series and Gambo couldn’t be happier. John knows the Angels helped New York’s cause by playing terrible defense, something they hadn’t done the entire regular season. Mark is certain the better team won and is looking forward to what should be one of the more entertaining World Series of recent memory.

Lead by Example…The World Series is set and one player that may be anticipating it more than anyone is Alex Rodriguez who will be playing in his first Fall Classic Wednesday night. The guys feel the Yankees wouldn’t be there without A-Rod and wonder if he were more deserving of the ALCS MVP than teammate C.C. Sabathia. Mark feels that the writer’s way of saying “we haven’t forgotten about your little steroid problem.” Gambo says A-Rod will be a “true Yankee” if he can help lead them to another World Series title against the ultra-talented Phillies.

We were joined by Cards assistant head coachRuss Grimm who broke down the Red Birds big 24-17 win over the Giants last night in New York. He discussed how the offense line dealt with the Giants pass-rush and Beanie Wells’ breakout game which included his first career touchdown. He said the club’s maturity as a whole is the main reason the Red Birds are a perfect 3-0 on the road this season.

Tuesday we’ll be joined by ESPN college football analyst Mark May at 4:25 and Suns head coach Alvin Gentry
