ARIZONA CARDINALS ushering in the Captain BRUCE Era and that VERTICAL Passing Game...they add QB CARSON...draft the HONEY BADGER of Death Valley Baton Rouge...and most of all they get rid of the Bluedude's Favorite Science Project...the KEVIN KOLB Project as he now resides in the BISON CIty...A QB DRIVEN League...CARSON your next...#BIRDgang #RedZone #ValleyOfTheSunTackleFOOTBALL

They made all the right moves as Sunday Teams looking for Lead Men are going for Offensive Minds and have done away with Defensive Minds leading the troops. The Cards go get ex-Steelers Offensive Coordinator and #ChuckStrong Interim Lead Man Bruce Arians and all of a sudden the Red Zone Faithful is back and should be back in numbers in believing it could be done. The Seahawks, 49ers, and Rams (including the Bird Gang) make up for arguably the toughest division in the NFL. The Bird Gang along with the Rams should make that road through the division very difficult for both the Hawks and 49ers. That Bird Gang Draft Class 2013 was as solid as solid can be led by OG Jonathan Cooper (UNC), Honey Badger and Kevin Minter both of #GeauxTigers LSU.  

Offensively they get a huge face lift first getting rid of that expensive Science Project (QB Kevin Kolb) that won nothing and when he went he took the Coach Whiz and GM Graves with him. They go get Carson Palmer and they needed a quick fix to go with Steelers former 1st round castoff and Niles, Illinois North High School Star by way of the Fightin' Illini Rashard Mendenhall. On the outside can former Irish Star Michael Floyd live up to that draft hype and join forces with WR "Fitz" to become the Bird Gang's Version of Voltron?

Defensively they have "Monsters Inside QBs" in DT Darnell Dockett and DE Calais Campbell. They also add back ex-Bird Gang Member Karlos Dansby as they lose Tackling Machine ILB Daryl Washington for 4 games due to some off the field indiscretions. Then cokes the Secondary led by @PunkSnitch Patrick Peterson (who has an Offensive Package called P2-AZ) and they add the Tyrann Mathieu the "Honey Badger" who is most likely to play Nickel and some Safety. Both Safety Yeremiah Bell (Gang Green) and CB Jerraud Powers (Blue Swagger Colts) were added in 29013 Free Agency.
