Preseason Week 2 Recap, Kolb's drive, Beanie's Injury, Cut Day & Other Stuff:
Preseason Week 2 Recap:
The Cardinals are off to a 2-0 start in pre-season. If only it was the real thing. The Cards continue to amaze on offence and suffer on defence, coming out triumphant, winning 41-38 over the Raiders. John Skelton started and did ok, but was poor compared to the show he put on last week. Rich Bartel saw some game time, but Kevin Kolb came in for the last quarter and vowed to make the QB race interesting, with a flowing game winning drive, capped off with a one yard touchdown run by Thomas Clayton.
Kolb's Drive:
People around the country are still asking just who this Kevin Kolb imposter is. After an impressive game winning drive against the Raiders, Kolb said "It felt good to be in that situation. It really gets the adrenaline going."
People will be hoping this seemingly new Kevin Kolb can stick around, and stay healthy.
Beanie's Injury:
Beanie Wells managed to break a thumb against the Raiders. He will be out for at least a week, probably more.
Cut Day:
No real suprises. By cutting Mike Leach it looks like the Cards are banking on Todd Heap staying healthy, something he has always struggled to do. We'll see.
DeMarco Sampson - WR
Reggie Walker - MLB
Michael Adams - CB

Other Stuff:
- In what continues to be a rollercoaster of a preseason, New Orleans blew out the Jags 50-0 at the superdome.
