Arizona Cardinals Strategy and Personnel 2008-12-23
PLAYER NOTES


--DE/OLB Travis LaBoy likely will be questionable for the regular-season finale against the Seahawks. He has a sprained ankle.

--OLB Clark Haggans has been placed on injured reserve with a sprained left foot.

--WR Anquan Boldin should be able to return this week after missing the Patriots game with a sore shoulder. Boldin was in some pain and had swelling last week.

--SS Matt Ware has a calf injury and is on crutches. His status won't be known until later in the week.

--S Aaron Francisco suffered a rib injury against the Patriots and his status won't be determined until later in the week.

--TE Stephen Spach suffered a sprained ankle against the Patriots and his status won't be determined until later in the week.

--CB Rod Hood suffered a knee injury against the Patriots but appeared to moving around well after the game. His status won't be known until later in the week.

--WR Larry Fitzgerald caught just three passes but one of them was a 78-yard touchdown pass from Matt Leinart. Fitzgerald finished with 101 yards in receiving.

REPORT CARD VS. VIKINGS

PASSING OFFENSE: F -- QB Kurt Warner completed 6 of 18 for 30 yards. The Cardinals didn't protect him and they had a couple of drops.

RUSHING OFFENSE F -- The Cardinals called runs on seven of their first eight plays and had little success. That's not unusual. This club cannot run the football.

PASS DEFENSE: F -- Pats quarterback Matt Cassel threw for three touchdowns and wasn't intercepted. Mostly, he threw short screens and let his receivers run through the Cardinals secondary.

RUSH DEFENSE: F -- The Patriots were able to run, too. Their offensive line dominated a defense that didn't seem interested in playing.

SPECIAL TEAMS: B -- The kicking game was busy all day and performed competently. Steve Breaston tied a club record with nine kickoff returns. He won't be telling his grandkids about that one day.

COACHING: F -- The Cardinals played with no passion and looked like they would rather be anywhere else than Foxborough, Mass., on Sunday. Even at the NFL level, a coach has to get his team ready to play. And this team wasn't.
