Arizona Cardinals Big Red Sheet - 2012 Training Camp Battle

OTAs 6/14 - According to FanFest attendees - Kolb not accurate, took too much time to throw (overthrew Fitz, underthrew Housler and got picked) and got boo'd. Skelton didn't set the world on fire (made a couple of iffy decisions) but looked better. Lindley "threaded a couple of needles." But one observer felt the passing game "was not crisp."

04 Kevin Kolb 6-3 218 U of Houston - Philly (trade)
19 John Skelton 6-5½ 243 Fordham (D5)
14 Ryan LIndley QB 6-4 230 22 San Diego State
02 Bartel, Richard QB 6-3 230 27 2 Tarleton State IR

Running Backs:

Reg. Season Wells is on recallable IR. Williams (shoulder) is done for season OTAs 6/14 - A Smith got most of the carries at the FanFest workout. Williams wasn't limping, took a few handoffs and was able to cut on the rehabbed knee. Wiz considers Beanie to be slightly behind Ryan.

Offensive Linemen:

OTAs 6/14 - To one observer, Massie looks "huge."

Defensive Backs:

Reg. Season 10/10 Butler was re-signed to fill roster spot vacated by R Williams (IR). OTAs6/14 - Butler displayed "feast or famine" production at the Fanfest workout (i.e. a couple of good plays paired with a couple of blown coverages). A-Dub missed a pick, dropped down and pumped out 30 pushups. Toler got a lot of reps but still had his knee heavily wrapped and didn't look that good while he was out there. "Between the lines" buzz from the coaches (via the Arizona Republic) suggests that Toler is battling Gay to start opposite PP21, with Jefferson, Adams and Fleming battling for a backup spot. According to Horton, Fleming is "everything they expected." Wiz likes his quicks and change of direction skills; only question coming in was his top-end speed.
