Arizona Cardinals makeover

Freak

This offseason, thanks to new coach Denny Green, the Cards are going to have 12 new starters, with six on each side of the ball. Two of the biggest surprises are Emmitt Smith re-claiming his role as feature back, and 2002 Super Bowl MVP Dexter Jackson losing his safety position after a fairly solid year, to inexperienced Quentin Jones.

I personally can't believe Marcel Shipp is not the starting running back on this team, especially after how inept Emmitt has looked over the last three years. The only plausible reason I can see for this move is because Emmitt is a better pass-blocker, and Green plans to start a three-WR base offense with a very young quarterback (Josh McCown). I'm actually looking forward to seeing this offense, as Fitzgerald/Boldin/Johnson could be DEADLY.

It really sucks seeing Emmitt struggle so much. Although my allegiance to the Giants forces me to hate all things Cowboys-related, i have a great deal of respect for Emmitt, and I would have liked to have seen him go out with pride in Dallas, rather than go to that joke of a franchise out in the desert

The Cards may have some great receivers, but i'm not sold on McCown as QB. Dennis Green seems to have good luck with QBs (Brad Johnson, Daunte Culpepper), so we'll see how it goes. Could be a very fun offense to watch. I dont see them as much of a defensive threat, however. In fact, i cant name a single player on Arizona's defense

I think the cards will finish third in the division, behind Seattle and St. Louis, but ahead of San Fran...there's a team in real disarray right there
