Preseason Week 4 Recap, Cut Day & Other Stuff:
Preseson Week 4 Recap:
The Arizona Cardinals have gone undefeated in pre-season, beating the Denver Broncos 18-10 in a close fought game at the University Of Phoenix Stadium. The Cardinals looked the poorest they have all pre-season. Wouldn't it just be typical Cardinal fashion to see them trending the wrong way at the wrong time? Let's hope not. A win is a win, right?
Cut Day:
Surely no one saw this coming. Vonnie Holiday, Clark Haggans and Paris Lenon all cut, in which was described by Rhys Withenshaw as a "concerted effort to get younger." He said "What we are doing here is a process. I felt comfortable with the depth we have, so I was OK in letting three older guys go. They're still talented guys, no doubt, but I felt with what we were trying to do, it was better for us to go in a younger direction. We've got some really promising players on the roster, but they won't progress without game time. I wouldn't be cutting the veteran guys if I didn't think the younger guys were up to the task"
