In my Fan Fest observations, I pointed out that both Reggie Walker and Rob Housler stood out for the plays they made. Based on comments made by Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians, those thoughts were right on target. When asked about going back and looking at the tape from Tuesday night's practice, Walker's name was the first one he mentioned, saying he "had an outstanding night." Walker picked off a pass and batted down multiple passes, looking great in coverage. On offense, he hesitated a bit when asked who offensively stood out. He thought that Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzge...

It has been discussed a lot this offseason and it seems to be a topic of conversation ever since he was drafted -- tight end Rob Housler is destined to have a huge year. The subject came up again after Thursday's practice. Bruce Arians, who said on Monday that he sees an 80-catch player in Housler, was asked about him again. "I see a wideout playing tight end," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Thursday via Arizona Sports. "A guy that's very versatile. He can play in the backfield, at tight end, split out wide. "I think the sky's the limit as far as where he can get talent-wise, and...

Find the answers to your burning Cardinals questions this weekend, like what exactly is wrong with the offense, just how much will Rob Housler bring to the team this year, and should Daryl Washington even play if he's able to return to the team at all? Cardinals: Does Daryl Washington Deserve to Play?This offseason may have changed everything for the man known as D-Wash. Bruce Arians and the Struggles of the Cardinals' OffenseIs it the rust being shaken off due to the off-season? Is it the defense dominating like it should? Or is it the offensive line being the offensive line? Cardinal...

When Bruce Arians came to town in January I talked about how the Arizona Cardinals offense was going to change, and wondered if Arians vertical attack was the right fit for the Cardinals personnel. Well nearly four months and 50 players later, the Cardinals roster is completely different from that of what Arians inherited in January. The Cardinals added the big armed Carson Palmer, a savvy veteran that can get the ball down field into tight spots consistently and accurately, and does it quickly, meaning the Cardinals offensive line should improve statistically, even if they aren't nece...

Arizona Cardinals new General Manager Steve Keim said yesterday in a interview, he pinpoints 2nd year right tackle Bobby Massie as a possible "breakout" player for the team next season. ESPN's NFC West Mike Sando thinks tight end Rob Housler could be the guy that makes the biggest improvement in 2013, with secondary asides to outside linebackers Sam Acho and O'Brien Schofeld. So...who, in your opinion, will make the biggest difference from last year? On the defensive side, with all the turnover of roster spots, the options are unlimited. Could you go with newcomer Lorenzo Alexander, ...

Rob Housler has always been an on the fence player. Oh so close to being a really good player for the Cardinals in 2012, and oh so close to being a starter in 2011. However, in a recent interview, head coach Bruce Arians stated (via the team website) that back with the Steelers, Rob Housler was a guy he was interested in -- someone he wanted to draft and to convert to a "big receiver" and that he is a "mismatch for defenses". What does this mean? It means the Cardinals probably won't pursue a fifth receiver, which is what we commonly have on roster. If Housler does move to receiver, th...

Signature Stats: YPRR - Tight Ends - Michael RennerThe Bottom 10 is littered with blocking or No. 2 tight ends, as only Antonio Gates and Rob Housler ran routes on more than half of their snaps. Signature Stats: YPRR - Running Backs - Michael RennerRonnie Brown was the consummate third-down back this season, and joined Sproles as the only two backs to have more targets than carries. Philip Rivers was in love with the check down all year and targeted Brown on 25.7% of his routes (teammate Ryan Mathews was targeted on 30.1%, the highest in the league).
