Which Cardinals' player not named Larry Fitzgerald would you like to have?

in a heartbeat.

a lot of us will say Rolle so we can be put out of our BBCC Brown misery. But I’ll take a page from JR’s draft book and pick the best talent, which according to your reviews looks to be Cromartie. Young, lots of potential, already producing as a rookie.

That would stack us at CB (when Ross is healthy) and probably allow us to take care of the safety problem as well by moving a CB there. Most posters here have picked TT to switch to safety. That would be intersting.

cromartie is a very good CB but I take Rolle w/out even thinking twice.

1- Karlos Dansby – We need a playmaking LB, we really don’t have one.
2-Rolle
3-Cromartie

Rolle is a total stud and is rangy – not to mention that he would shore up the D backfield.

Dansby is athletic enough to blitz and cover guys like Westbrook out of the backfield.

is my Fantasy IDP Stud so I would have to go with him.

I’d say outside of Fitz, he’s probably the best player on the team or at least the biggest leader. His age may disqualify him but he’s miles better than Rolle.

For what it’s worth Rolle hasn’t exactly excelled as a FS.
 - Is he amazing with the ball in his hands on picks and/fumbles? Absolutely. On plays like that maybe only Ed Reed is better.
 - Is he an amazing athlete who can cover tons of ground? Absolutely. He’s fast, quick and would still blow scouts away in a “combine” atmosphere.
 
Outside of being a great athlete and having tremendous instincts with the ball though, Rolle is a maddening player to watch. He’s a decent tackler when he wants to be, he’s got the ball skills to get his share of picks and at times he seems to understand exactly what his role is in the defense. So what’s the problem? Even after five seasons in the league he’s terribly inconsistent. Let’s not forget that he lost his starting cornerback job to a guy who the Cards, Dolphins and Niners have released/cut since the end of last season. He was so successful at free safety last year that the Cards used a third round pick on Rashad Johnson (FS from Alabama) and at the midway point last year he was named the most disappointing player on the roster by ROTB. He too often misses tackles when going for the big hit, takes bad angles, bites on play action and allows WRs to get behind him which is a big reason why no defense allowed more big plays in the passing game than the Arizona Cardinals. I guess the bottom line is that while Rolle still has a decent stat line and compiles a good highlight film, he’s one of those guys who doesn’t live up to the hype.

I don’t mean to rake a guy over the coals but Rolle doesn’t deserve to be mentioned among the best players on our team. There’s even a thought out there that he’ll be asked to restructure his contract in the off season or be cut.

There is no one with a more beautiful on sides, squib, or pooch kick in the league. This year alone recovering his own on sides kick and a successful pooch kick recovered last week in Seattle. He also had the most ST tackles last year (some resulting from necessity, but a lot down field too).

IKf you want up side DRC is your man. He has been picked so far this year and for good reason…he is getting burned. It’s my belief that teams have been watching film from last year and recognized that he plays off his receiver trying to instigate a turn over and has been exploited for it (over confidence). There is no one on the field with more athleticism or raw talent, but he is a second year corner (nuff said). He will be a shut down corner one day.

Most Cardinals fans see Rolle as kind of a bust. Eighth overall in 2005, he has done close to enough to earn that payday. He wasn’t the best corner so they moved him to free safety and some are saying he is still adjusting to the positon but having been in the league this long and not having formed an identity at this point, you have to wonder if he ever will.

although its nice to have rolle or dansby. i go with a player that would dig his hands in the dirt, has a nasty nasty demenior and demands double team everytime he gets on the field which will open up for our dominating ends, not to mention stuff the run . his name is darnell dockett. who wouldent want a 6’4 280 pounder as a DT in your team. have you guys tooken a look at our DTs latley? they show no threat in the field. everything starts up front fellas. pressure= easy pickins for our safetys and cornerbacks. it all starts at the DT. darnell dockett is durible and plays at least 80%percent of the snaps. thats great for defense tackle with his calliber. do i have any takers?

if we had a dominate DT and our line is putting pressure all of our secondary would make it to the probowl. cc brown would look like KP out there

hey cardinal fans. who would you guys take from us??? do tell

I think we’ll be using this every week at ROTB. Generates good discussion between the two sides.

lol there is no best OL in the giants. we work together as a unit. there for is succesful. matter as well take the hole “water”

“water” is our O line. we had earth wind and fire in our RB and Oline is water

i say our right tackle simply because, hes ageing. kareem mackenzie.. but he still a dominate tackle

but I found it interesting that you wouldn’t let us choose Warner. Would anyone here really pick Kurt Warner if you could just pick 1 player to have? The guy is great, dont get me wrong, but we had him. We let him go for Eli. I dont think anybody regrets that decision (well, maybe the guy that wanted David Carr starting this season…).

Rackers had another crucial field-goal miss in Arizona’s 24-23 loss to Chicago on Monday. The Pro Bowler pushed a 41-yarder to the left with 53 seconds remaining that would have given the Cardinals the lead against the Bears. Last week, he missed a 51-yarder against Kansas City with no time remaining that would have sent the game into overtime.

I’ll give you 24 hours to find something like this on Tynes, but I’ll hint to you right now, you won’t.

That was the first name that popped into my head when I saw this post. I think his reputation is more of a big-hit safety than a cover safety, but he’s a two time pro-bowler at our biggest position of need. He’d probably be my choice – him or DR-C

or Antrelle Rolle.

I know Rolle can get torched at times, but in the Giants system there isn’t really much responsibility for the safeties (at least from what I heard)…hence signing CC Brown…

Rolle would be a KP light.

It has to be Adrian Wilson. Best player on the Cards defense (Dockett is a close 2nd), and probably the 2nd best strong safety in the league behind Troy Polamalu. If we were somehow able to get him on our team you would never hear CC Browns name again.

Here’s my thinking. If I had to start a team from scratch tomorrow and didn’t have any players, i’d go with Adrian Wilson, any day. That dude is like some of the cardinals fans on here have been saying underrated, under the radar, but tough as nails. he’s built like a mini Tuck (that boy got guns!) and he’s there best D player if you ask me.

I however, would have to eliminate him for the purposes of this conversation, not because of his age, but because of his incumbent(KP). Wilson would be a band aid for this season, but going forward, he would be wasted as KP’s backup (or vice versa). so he’s eliminated. Still the baddest mofo named Adrian.

Next is DRCromartie. Before i give you my personal opinion on him, just a few stats i found on profootballfocus.com. This is based on there metric system(for DB’s getting at least 60% of team snaps):
- he’s ranked number 31st overall. Corey Webster is ranked 11th.
- in pass coverage he’s ranked 27th
- 36th in run D
- he’s thrown at 3rd most times in the league(one behind AZ’s other corner) but surprisingly only 20th in pct. completed[56.1], which is pretty good considering how many times he’s thrown at.
now my personal feelings on him: i wouldn’t take him, FIRST, off this team. i’ve seen him get burned alot from my own memory, metrics aside. that said, he’s young, so if you think he can grow with all our other young talent, then that would be his upside. i’ll pass.

same site, this time on Antrel Rolle. Pluses:
- second in pass rushing(safeties only)
- tied for 1st in sacks
- tied for 2nd in QB hits
- tied for 3rd in INT’s

Minuses:
- 32nd overall rating
- 36th in pass coverage
- 37th in run D
- tied for 3rd in missed tackles
- 4th most in avg. yards per comp. given up

An upgrade over what we have but i’m not taking him.

i’m taking Karlos D. In the prime of his career(28 y.o.), ranked 9th overall by the same site/chart, 8th in pass rushing, 3rd in pass coverage, tied for 9th in QB pressures, 2nd in LEAST amount of missed tackles, and 7th in YAC. He would shore up the SAM backer, boley could play weakside, with AP quarterbacking the trio. it would address our immediate need of a standout backer, for now and years to come.

KARLOS DANSBY IS MY CHOICE!!! THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT!!!!!

I don’t want any players on their defense. Sorry. You’re talking the best WR in the game. Verse guys that might be just good but not great. Bad question.
