The Consistent Qbs?: The Arizona Cardinals are ranked second in total offensive yards with 2068. This is a team that can score - and score quickly. Led by the veteran arm of Kurt Warner and the gifted ability of receiver Larry Fitzgerald - the Cardinals are taking the league by storm, suffering their only defeat to the Giants last week. Despite being one of the older quarterbacks in the league, Warner still manages to hold the starting spot over Trent Green and Matt Leinart. On the other side of the pig skin is six-year pro, Matt Schaub. Schaub, since taking over for the now traded rookie Graham Harrell, has been a shinging light for the much needed Texans offense. His consistency and calming in the pocket has shown why he has only thrown 1 interception in 3 games.

The Absence of Boldin: Earlier this week, the Cardinals dealt out their upset employee #2, Anquan Boldin. Boldin, who had only catched 19 balls for 221 yards (and one lone touchdown), shouted to the high heavens, demanding a trade. A trade is what happened and now the Cardinals are without the dual threat receiving core that most teams feared. The Texans are one of the worst, behind the Saints and Jets, defenses against the pass - but are one of the best against the run. The Cardinals will have to keep this in mind - and who knows, there could possibly be a position battle between Steve Breaston and Dennis Northcutt (acquired from Jaguars in Boldin trade) - Breaston has 144-yards on only 9 receptions.

The Score: 42-17 Cardinals. Even without Boldin, I think the Cardinals have the upper hand here with a superb offensive line and a more than explosive offense. Their defense is a young one, led by cornerback Antrell Role - but smart against the pass. While the Texans do have Chris Johnson back from injury (even though he was proclaimed to miss a month) after one game absent, I just do not think this will be a shoot-out like last week against the Chiefs. Schaub might have one of those tough days - feeling the pressure today in the pocket - his comfort zone. If Schaub gets out of the pocket, it could spell trouble for Kubiak and company.

Defensive Tackle, Travis Johnson has suffered a case of food poisoning. Sources say the 305 lbs man left the local McDonald's with a month's supply of "McRib" sandwiches.

Travis Johnson on himeslf: "The McRib sandwich only comes every October through December, man. I had to get my share."

Amobi Okoye on Johnson: "Curse of the Johnson's finally going to work in my favor." <-------- Johnson's replacement

Man dude this is great. I'm for sure following. Are those plays from the halftime show actual plays from the game? If so this game is way ahead of its time; imagine an NFL ESPN 2k9.

Absolutely they are. 2k5 is the best football game to date. I'm excited for Madden 2010 though. But if it faulters, I'll always have 2k5.

Hey man, how are you creating recruits? I look everywhere, but can't find an option to.

Hey bud. I created the majority of the prospects through Finn's editor (only for xbox), an external software app.

You can also edit the incoming rookies when you reach the 10th week of the season (somewhere around there). Just go to ESPN.COM in the game - then Rookie Report. Then edit.

WTF Matt, this was really gettin good

Settle down, this ain't dead. He started up a new project (NCAA 2004 coaching 'chise) and he runs Team Chaos as well. Updates will start back up for this sooner or later, don't worry.

[Matt10]

Not dead at all, thanks for the concern. I'm actually working on the update - it's tough because I didn't jot down the stats - if I did, I don't remember where I put them.

I might just have to put the final score since it's been forever. But maybe I'll get lucky and find them ;)

Matt how do you post photobucket videos?

You just upload them like uploading a picture. They aren't as sharp as on YouTube though.

[Matt10]
