Wells might not be featured back-- Pat Kirwan of CBS Sports is reporting that Cardinals RB Beanie Wells will play Sunday vs. Seattle, but Ryan Williams will get the majority of the carries due to Wells' hamstring injury

all the Arz rb looked bad yesterday, anyone still got hope for this guy?

 

 

It's a loooong season. SEA's D has been touted as a solid unit this year, and ARI's o-line, notsomuch. He might become a "match-up guy". IMHO, he's the one to have rostered instead of Wells. After one week, I'm not letting him go. It's his first "REAL game action" in two years... I'm holding for a bit longer to see what happens.

Wasn't Skelton carried off the field?

 

Yes, and appeared to be in a lot of pain. They said he didn't break anything, but are hoping it's just a high-ankle sprain, but still an injury that could sideline him 4-6 weeks per Whisenhunt.

 

I swear, does Kolb only play well when he's coming in off the bench? Maybe they should just let someone else start every game, and then pull them for Kolb.

Not sure if this will hold true this week, or beyond, until one of the two shakes out as the starter.

The running backs ended up splitting the carries nearly right down the middle with Wells rushing for 14 yards on seven carries and Williams recorded nine yards on eight carries.

 

Whisenhunt said the plan was to go 50-50 with the running backs but he was hoping for more yards and more carries.

 

"We went into the game with the idea that we were going to have a rotation going and we were going to stick with that. We didn't get enough runs and we weren't successful enough running it so it really didn't matter what the rotation was or what the plan was yesterday (Sunday)."

For those keeping score at home:

 

If you're in a 12 team league that starts 2RB/2WR/1TE/+ 2Flex and were able to actually combine Beanie and Ryan's stats as one player, they still wouldn't merit a starting role. In other words, there's 33 RBs, 40 WRs, and 16 TEs that have scored more than their combined FF totals in a .5PPR league. Went with .5PPR to sort of meet the two schools of scoring part way.

Not sure what any of this means right now, other than nobody is really getting the job done on the ground in 'Zona.

The Cards’ 28 rushing yards were their fewest since a 13-yard effort against the 49ers on Nov. 29, 2010. Whisenhunt acknowledged that aspect of the offense must improve -- even in the absence of starter Beanie Wells (IR, severe turf toe) and Stephens-Howling.

 

But it was also interesting to note that William Powell had more snaps (34) than Ryan Williams (33). Whisenhunt said Williams is not part of the no-huddle package because of where he is in his development. Powell gets practice reps in that package. The Cards ran a lot of no-huddle on Sunday, thus the respective snap counts.
