How or why William Powell has only gotten 1 carry the last two games is beyond imagination. I thought we’ve always had a two RB system, what happened to that? The last two games LSH has looked awful running the ball. He runs up or into our own offensive linemen’s rear-ends. He’s not good at finding holes when they ain’t there. William Powell is good at that! LSH is good at screen passes but shouldn’t be our only RB. I don’t want to hear that W. Powell doesn’t know the blocking assignments because nobody else does either. Isn’t having W. Powell in the backfield better than the empty backfield we’ve been running on many of those pass plays? The handling of William Powell is so frustrating without an explanation because Darren etc…doesn’t seek the answers. On KTAR the other day Ron Jaworski was talking about LSH but there was no mention of William Powell not even by the pundits interviewing him. What a disgrace, non of them so-called “analysts” no much of anything about the Cardinals. Ron Jawoski/AZ Sports 620 = Epic Fail.

“Right now every one of those offensive linemen are beginning to question, do the coaches believe they can do that,” Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620′s Burns and Gambo. “Obviously with the play selection Monday night, the coaching staff does not believe that is what the Arizona Cardinals can do.”

Cardinals quarterback John Skelton dropped back to pass 56 times Monday, while he handed the ball off to LaRod Stephens-Howling on just eight occasions. Jaworski lambasted the Cardinals coaching staff for this type of play-calling, saying it was their way of essentially giving up on their offensive line

“I will guarantee every offensive lineman right now, from Massie to Snyder, to Sendlein to College to Batiste, they’re questioning their coaches right now,” Jaworski said. “‘Why aren’t you giving us a chance to play football?’”

I also wonder what the fan vibe next year around Ryan Williams will be. He’s been here two years, and played in 5 games. This year everyone seemed genuinely excited about him. Kolb is maligned by some of his detractors for his injuries, and has played in 15 games in those same 2 years as a Cardinal (and is still expected to return this year so that total should go up). Now, I’ll acknowledge that many of those Kolb detractors are complaining as much if not more about his play than the injuries, but the point is, some guys seem to get a pass with the fans when injured, while others don’t.

Scott H — I laughed when I read your post. There were also people suggesting we trade one of our two QB’s in the preseason to end the controversy between Kolb and Skelton. Neither one could even clearly win the job (basically, it was “won” by default)… why does anyone think other teams would be drooling to get them?

And we have a suggestion above that we trade Lindley for a 5th or 6th round pick. Ummm… why did we use a 6th round pick to draft him, if we’re just going to trade him for an equivalent pick? Basically if you do that you’re saying you wasted that pick this year… clearly the team had no intention of playing him this year, so what was the point of drafting him?

@ darren,
I just checked his stats going in to this season he played 43 out of 48 games and ammased 537 rushes and ave 4.1 YPC over those 537 rushes For 2,237 yards .
(Oh and avg. 10.5 a reception and 6.8yac)
Lets compare first 3 years:

B Wells: Played 43 out of 48 games, 537 rush, 4.1ypc, Yards=2,237
(Missed 5 games)

B.Jacobs: Played 42 games out of 48, 336 rush, 4.0 ypc, Yards=1,531
(missed 6 games!!)

M.Lynch: Played 41 games out of 48, 650 rush, 3.9 ypc, yards= 2,601
(missed 7 games!!)

A.Foster: Played 35 games out of 48, 659 rush, 4.7ypc, yards= 3,097
(missed 13 games!!)

D.McFadden: Played 38 out of 48, 440 rush, 4.3ypc, Yards= 2,013
(missed 10 games!!)

A.Bradshaw: Played 42 out of 48 games, 253 rush, 6.1 ypc, Yards=1,323
(missed 6 games!!!!!)

I think Wells is a great running back based on those names and there first 3 years!!!!!!!! Sure Wells is hurt but that happens it did to foster, Peterson I can go on and on!!!! So SHUT UP ON HIM MISSING GAMES!!! I JUST PROVED YOU WRONG!!!!!

I hope Wells plays well the rest of the season but i don’t see him staying healthy ITS simply time to let people who cant stay healthy or that have that history go? or it will be the same thing next year

Andy Kw -

I am always amused by the trades that fans propose…you suggest that we trade Ryan Williams to a team that needs a RB RIGHT AFTER you point out that he has failed to produce and has not been able to stay healthy. Great idea! Trouble is, I’m pretty sure the other 31 teams in the league are well aware of this.

C’mon, man…if Ryan Williams is playing for another team right now, are YOU looking at him and thinking the Cardinals should give up a 2nd round pick to get him??? My guess is the answer would be no. So, why is anyone else gonna do it???

Why do fans always think the other party in the trade is blind and clueless?
