Edgerrin James

reaston going to be able to get all of their touches? Another important note will be the running of Edgerrin James out of the backfield. His production could offset the pass rush by keeping the defense on the heels and not on their toes. If he fails to make any significant ground or offensive coordinator Todd Haley gives up on the run, Arizona will be in a load of trouble. Troy Polamalu will be stalking in the secondary, ready to snap up an interception of any forced or pressured Warner throws. If Arizona falls behind early, it will be an almost insurmountable climb out of the hole.

The Cards boasted the league’s worst running attack with a rotating cast of veteran Edgerrin James, rookie Tim Hightower and fourth year man J.J. Arrington never establishing any rhythm. James has come on late to provide a decent balance to the offense, due to his fresh legs and professional attitude. The defense had been suspect for much of the year, never being able to consistently hold up against the run, despite the play of Pro Bowler Adrian Wilson. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Antrel Rolle form a talented and youthful cornerback tandem and their play has only improved down the stretch.

Lets face it, Edgerrin James is older now. He’s lost a few steps since his dominant performances in Indianapolis. He can still make plays, but the Cardinals should be moving in a different direction. And they have. Edge’s backups include Marcel Shipp, a talented, but un-drafted plow share, and J.J Arrington. Arrington isn’t the best running back in the world, but he is a good compliment to both James and Shipp. The Cardinals also drafted running back Tim Hightower out of Richmond. Hightower has the talent to make this team and become a threat on the ground. I believe he may be the future of this team if he is given the opportunity to develop. James will get the carries this year. That may not be a bad thing, but the Cardinals will be heading a new direction very soon.
