SUPER BOWL RETURNS TO ARIZONA

On February 3, 2008, Super Bowl XLII comes to Glendale as the country’s most popular sporting event arrives at University of Phoenix Stadium. Along with the 73,000 that will be on hand for the game, over 100 million viewers are expected to tune in to the game being played on the Cardinals home field.

With an estimated economic impact of $300-400 million and worldwide viewership, the City of Glendale and the State of Arizona stand to reap the benefits of having built the country’s most state-of-the-art and technologically advanced sporting facility.

Having last hosted the Super Bowl on January 28, 1996 when the Dallas Cowboys overcame the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 at Sun Devil Stadium, Arizona will again have a chance to shine as it plays host to the 100,000-plus out-of-state fans who will be on hand to participate in the week-long activities preceding the game. In addition to the fans, more than 3,000 media members are expected to attend the event.

Thousands of Valley residents will have an opportunity to be part of the action as the Super Bowl Host Committee looks to train up to 10,000 volunteers to work in fields such as hospitality, transportation and special events. Information and application forms for volunteers are available at www.azsuperbowl.com, the official website of the 2008 Super Bowl in Arizona.

RECORD ATTENDANCE IN 2006

The Cardinals sold out every game in 2006 which led to a new franchise record for attendance in a season. In 2006, the Cardinals had 508,829 fans visit University of Phoenix Stadium during the regular season. That number eclipsed the previous record of 497,330 set in 1994 by more than 11,000 fans. For the first time in NFL history, paid attendance for all NFL games surpassed the 22 million mark and, for the fifth consecutive year, the paid attendance established a new record. NFL paid attendance for all 2006 games was 22,199,712, an increase of more than 400,000 (407,616) over the previous record total of 21,792,096 in 2005. The 2006 NFL regular-season total paid attendance of 17,340,879 and the average of 67,738 per game were both all-time records as well. With season tickets at University of Phoenix Stadium sold out for the 2007 season, the Cardinals and the NFL look to continue their unprecedented success.

UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX STADIUM IN YEAR ONE

In 2006, the Cardinals played their inaugural season at University of Phoenix Stadium and the venue lived up to all the hype. It was recognized as one of the top 10 sports facilities in the world by BusinessWeek and was the only facility in North America to be placed on the list. University of Phoenix Stadium was also named the best in the NFL by Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal and the field was named the best playing surface in the NFL in a Sporting News survey of NFL players. In its first year of operation the stadium proved to be a truly multipurpose facility, hosting everything from high school proms to the BCS National Championship Game. In February of 2008, it will host Super Bowl XLII and in 2009 it will host the Regionals of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. The facility is equipped to host football, basketball, soccer concerts, consumer shows, motor sports, rodeos and corporate events and it indeed held almost all of those events in its first year of operation. In the first 10 months of operation alone, the stadium welcomed 1,236,327 visitors and booked 216 event days.

STADIUM CONTINUES TO WIN PRAISE Before it even opened, University of Phoenix Stadium was winning praise from all over the world. Nothing about that changed as the field completed its first year of operation. Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily conducted its second annual SBJ/SBD

Readers Survey on the state of the sports industry and University of Phoenix Stadium was named the top stadium in the NFL. University of Phoenix Stadium took the title from historic Lambeau Field, the winner in 2005. Best NFL Stadium 16.4% University of Phoenix Stadium (AZ Cardinals)

12.6% Lambeau Field (Green Bay Packers) 7.1% Qwest Field (Seattle Seahawks) 6.8% Gillette Stadium (New England Patriots) 6.7% Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia Eagles) 6.6% Soldier Field (Chicago Bears) In addition to being recognized as the NFL’s best stadium, University of Phoenix Stadium has also been lauded for its playing surface. In a Sporting News survey conducted in 2006, players

across the NFL voted the surface that lays inside the stadium’s unique retractable tray as the best playing surface in the NFL. The domed stadium has a retractable playing field, the only of its kind in America, allowing games to be played on natural grass as it is tended during the week outside of the stadium and moved indoors on gameday.

CARDINALS & CHARGERS IN 2006 te IN 2005 REGULAR SEASON

CHARGERS IN ARIZONA This will be San Diego’s first-ever visit to University of Phoenix Stadium, which opened in 2006. The last visit the Chargers made to Arizona was during the 2004 preseason when they visited Arizona for the third game of the preseason, coming out with a 38-13 victory. Without a doubt the most memorable visit the Chargers made to Arizona happened to involve one that didn’t involve the Cardinals at all – at least on the field. During the 2003 regular season, the Chargers were scheduled to host the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football on Oct. 27. A series of brush fires that ravaged San Diego county, burning several hundred thousand acres and destroying several hundred homes. The Chargers home facility, Qualcomm Stadiu,, was being used as an emergency evacuation site so it was decided to move the game to Tempe’s Sun Devil Stadium with less than 24 hours to do so. Admission to the game was free, all that was asked for was a donation to help the victims of the disaster.

CARDINALS & CHARGERS - THE LAST TIME

Last Meeting Chargers 27, CARDINALS 20

December 31, 2006 – Qualcomm Stadium - (66,492)

The Cardinals finished out the 2006 season by taking on the league’s top team in their own stadium. The Chargers entered the game with a record of 13-2 but needed a win to secure homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. While Arizona gave the hosts everything they could handle, miscues and missed opportunities proved to be more than the Cards could overcome and the 7-point loss dropped Arizona to 5-11. QB Kurt Warner returned to the starting lineup in place of Matt Leinart (shoulder) and the veteran threw for a season-high 356 yards on 22-32 passing for one TD and no interceptions. The Arizona defense held league-leading rusher LaDainian Tomlinson to 66 yards and no TDs on 16 carries. San Diego took the game-opening kickoff to the AZ 28 before the Cardinals recorded a key takeaway. In his second start for the injured Gerald Hayes, MLB Monty Beisel intercepted Philip Rivers pass at the 11 and returned it to the AZ 22. The Cards then went downfield quickly, thanks in large part to a 37-yard Warner completion to Anquan Boldin and an 18-yard Boldin run on 3

rd-n-7. James capped the 9-play, 78-yard drive

when he scored on an 8-yard run to put Arizona up 7-0. San Diego, however, would go on to score 27 straight points starting on the ensuing possession that ended with a Nate Kaeding FG. Despite leaving the game briefly in the first quarter with an ankle injury suffered on the FG drive, Rivers returned to lead SD to touchdowns on its next two possessions and ended both with passing TDs – a 3-yarder to TE Antonio Gates and a 14-yarder to WR Vincent Jackson. Just before intermission, Boldin caught a pass at the SD 2 in the closing seconds but was stopped in bounds with no timeouts and the half expired, Arizona trailing 17-7. The Cards forced the Chargers to punt on their opening drive of the third quarter but Bryant Johnson muffed the return at the 6 and LB Tim Dobbins recovered in the end zone for a TD. When SD’s next drive ended with a 35-yard Kaeding FG, the Chargers led 27-7 with 6:23 to play in the third. Arizona added a Rackers FG late in the third to make it 27-10. A 9-yard TD pass to Fitzgerald made it a 10-point game midway through the 4

th and another Rackers FG with 3:23 to play made it a seven-point game. However, San Diego

was able to run out the clock on the next possession, dashing Arizona’s comeback hopes.

He also added four receptions for 37 yards as a receiver. Fitzgerald go gets it-After not seeing much action in the first preseason game,

receiver Larry Fitzgerald was back in form, jumping over two Texan defensive backs to haul in a Matt Leinart pass for a 41-yard gain early in the second quarter.

where he collected six tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble, Cardinals defensive end Chris Cooper added another sack and a forced fumble vs. Houston.

Brown looks good in first start-Cardinals first round draft pick (5th overall)

LAST WEEK’S GAME

Preseason Game 2 Texans 33, CARDINALS 20

August 18, 2007 – Univ. of Phoenix Stadium – (64,142) Playing their first home game of the 2007 preseason, the Cardinals and Texans were tied at 13 early in the second half before the Houston reserves outscored their counterparts in the game’s final quarter and a half. The Cardinals starting offense looked sharp and pulled a trick out of Ken Whisenhunt’s bag on the team’s first offensive play. WR Anquan Boldin took a handoff from RB Edgerrin James before throwing a pass deep downfield to Larry Fitzgerald. Only a pass interference penalty (good for 55 yards) kept the pass from being completed. The drive ultimately stalled when James’ run on 4

th-n-1 from the Houston 15 failed to

pick up the first down. From there, the Texans marched 85 yards in 10 plays and capped the drive on QB Matt Schaub’s 5-yard naked bootleg. The Cardinals responded with an 80-yard drive and Matt Leinart ended it with a 5-yard scoring toss to James. The QB exited the game after that and finished 7-7 for 70 yards with a TD in his 2 series worth of action. Texans kicker Kris Brown then hit 25-yard FGs on consecutive drives to give Houston a 13-7 lead late in the first half. With 0:56 left in the half, the Cards took over at their own 20 and Kurt Warner quickly completed 4 of 4 passes for 60 yards to set-up a 38-yard Neil Rackers FG. Neither Leinart nor Warner played in the second half but the two signal callers combined to go an impressive 14-16 for 159 yards. A Rackers FG of 22 yards opened the second half scoring and tied the game at 13 after Arizona’s first drive of the third quarter. From there the Texans back-ups quickly put the game out of reach. They closed the 3

rd quarter with three straight scores – a 40-yard strike from Sage

Rosenfels to WR Charlie Adams, a 38-yard Brown FG, and an 80-yard punt return by rookie Jacoby Jones. Arizona’s #3 QB Shane Boyd played most of the second half and threw a 10-yard TD to WR Sean Morey, early in the fourth but Brown’s fourth FG of the day (40 yards) provided the game’s final points. The injury bug again bit the Cards as WR Ahmad Merritt suffered a dislocated ankle in the third quarter and had to be carted off the field in an air cast.

Cardinals vs. Texans Page 4 of 23 www.azcardinals.com

HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2006 From Indy to Arizona: On March 12, 2006, the Cardinals signed running back Edgerrin James to a four-year contract. Like that, the Cardinals had one of the games most talented and accomplished backs. With the 10th pick in the 2006 NFL Draft: The Cardinals selected quarterback Matt Leinart with the 10th overall selection in the draft. The Heisman winner, two-time National Champion and owner of a 37-2 record as a starter at USC instantly became the face of the organization. Cardinals open the doors to their new home: The Cardinals welcomed fans to University of Phoenix Stadium for the first time during Week One of the preseason when they welcomed the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers on August 12. Every game was sold out before the season began as the Cardinals established a new franchise attendance record with 508,829 fans visiting during the regular season. Cardinal greats remembered in Ring of Honor: In their new stadium, the Cardinals were able to honor numerous figures who have made a profound impact on the organization. Eleven members of the organization were enshrined in the Cardinals Ring of Honor during the season: Fullback Ernie Nevers, former owner Charles W. Bidwill, Sr., quarterback Jimmy Conzelman, halfback Charley Trippi, quarterback John (Paddy) Driscoll, halfback Ollie Matson, cornerback Dick (Night Train) Lane, tackles Dan Dierdorf, halfback Marshall Goldberg, safety Pat Tillman and free safety Larry Wilson. Tillman memorialized: Before the Cardinals November 12 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, the Cardinals unveiled a memorial to former Cardinals safety Pat Tillman. The plaza surrounding the stadium is now known as Pat Tillman Freedom Plaza. The memorial includes a eight foot tall white bronze sculpture of Tillman that stands in front of a nine-football wall that measure 42 feet across, Tillman’s number at Arizona State. A 60-foot circular pool of tranquility and a grove of 40 Oak trees that symbolize Tillman’s jersey number with the Cardinals complete the memorial. Tillman was added to the Ring of Honor at halftime of the Dallas game. 300 and counting: Pro Bowl receiver Anquan Boldin reached 300 career receptions faster than any player in NFL history when he reached the feat in Oakland on October 22. He hit the mark in only 47 games, seven faster than the previous record holder, former Denver receiver Lionel Taylor. Leinart set rookie record: After taking over the Cardinals starting quarterback spot in week five, Leinart met ups and downs during his 11 starts. One of the ups was Leinart’s performance against the Vikings on November 26 when he became the first rookie in NFL history to throw for over 400 yards in a game when he piled up 405 yards through the air in Minneosta. The previous record belonged to former Cardinals QB Jake Plummer who threw for 388 yards against the Giants on November 16, 1997. Wilson earns first trip to Hawaii: The recognition was long overdue but strong safety Adrian Wilson was finally selected as a Pro Bowl player. Wilson made himself known in 2006 by returning both a fumble and interception 99-yards for touchdowns while leading the Cardinals in interceptions (4), forced fumbles (4) and tackles for a loss (8).

CARDINALS 2007 DRAFT PICKS The Cardinals first draft under new head coach Ken Whisenhunt went as scripted. Whisenhunt said before the draft that the team would select players they thought could compete for starting jobs and increase the team’s depth. The Cardinals made five selections in the 2007 draft, choosing three offensive players and two defensive players.

Cardinals 2007 Draft T Levi Brown-Taken with the Cardinals first pick in the first round (5th overall), Brown started 45 career games for the Penn State Nittany Lions. DT Alan Branch-The first pick of the second round (33rd overall), Arizona traded up to get the former Michigan standout when they sent a fourth round selection to Oakland. LB Buster Davis-Taken in the third round (69th overall), Davis led Florida State in tackling in each of his final three years with the Seminoles. WR Steve Breaston-A fifth round pick (142nd overall), Breaston appeared in 48 games for Michigan and averaged 116.9 all-purpose yards per game. TE Ben Patrick-The Cardinals selected Patrick in the seventh round (215th overall). Patrick became Deleware’s first-ever first-team All-America selection in 2006.

2007 SCHEDULE NOTES

The Cardinals travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers on Monday Night Football during kickoff weekend. The showdown between NFC West foes that takes place on September 10 will be the Cardinals first opening week Monday Night appearance in team history.

When the Cardinals travel to Baltimore on September 23, it will be the first time they have done so since 1997 and only the second time the team has visited Baltimore. The only other time the teams met in the Ravens hometown the Cardinals came out with at 16-13 victory. It will also mark only the fourth time the two teams have squared off.

When the Steelers come to University of Phoenix Stadium on September 30 in Week 4, Cardinals first-year head coach Ken Whisenhunt will be facing his former team for the first time. Whisenhunt was with the Steelers the previous six seasons, the last three as the offensive coordinator. Assistant head coach/offensive line Russ Grimm and special teams coach Kevin Spencer, who both made the switch to Arizona with Whisenhunt, will also be facing the Steelers for the first time as adversaries since leaving.

After facing the Carolina Panthers each year from 2001-05, the rivalry took a short hiatus in 2006. It resumes on October 14 when the Cardinals play host to Carolina and try to snap the Panthers three game winning streak. The last Cardinal victory came at Carolina in 2002 when Arizona pulled out a 16-13 win.

It will be the 112th

meeting between two of the NFL’s oldest franchises when the Cardinals travel to the nation’s capital on October 21 in a rivalry that dates back to 1937.

The Cardinals host the Detroit Lions on October 11 in a series that dates back to 1934. The Lions dominated the early series with the Cardinals winning only two of 24 games (three ties) between 1934 and 1945. Since then, the Cardinals hold an 18-12 advantage over the Lions in the series.

In what has traditionally been a high scoring battle, with the teams combining to score an average of 63.4 points per game in their eight meetings, the Cardinals look to win their second consecutive game against the Cincinnati Bengals when they travel to Cincinnati on November 18. The last time the two teams met was Arizona’s 17-14 victory at home in 2003.

The Cardinals and the Cleveland Browns do battle for just the fifth time in the last 19 years when the Browns come to University of Phoenix Stadium on December 2.

The Cardinals make their first trip to New Orleans since the Hurricane Katrina disaster when they play the Saints on December 16. The Cardinals have visited the home of Mardi Gras nine times in their 24 meetings.

The Cardinals look to take back control of a series they once dominated when they invite the Atlanta Falcons to University of Phoenix Stadium on December 23. The Cardinals won 10 of the first 14 meetings between the two teams but Atlanta has won four contests in a row.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN GAME 3 The Cardinals starters will be on the field for a significant portion of the game on Saturday, as the third preseason game is usually the final tune up for the offensive and defensive units. The starters will face a tough test when they take on the reigning AFC West Champion San Diego Chargers. A few things to look for when the Cardinals take the field on Saturday include: Cardinals quarterbacks-The Cardinals top two quarterbacks, Matt

Leinart and Kurt Warner, combined to complete 14 of 16 passes for 159 yards, 1 TD and a 128.9 quarterback rating last week against the Texans Cardinals defense: After a solid first outing, the Cardinals defense

allowed 13 first half points vs. the Texans. They will face a tough San Diego offense, featuring Pro Bowlers Lorenzo Neal, Antonio Gates and Philip Rivers. Which rookie will step up: It was Pago Togafau in game one when he

led the team with eight tackles. Steve Breaston has been impressive in both contests. There are currently four rookie free agents running with the second team (LB Togafau, FB Tim Castille, G Brian Johnson and S Brandon Keeler). Plenty of opportunities exist for rookies to make the roster. Levi’s continued progress: After the injury to right tackle Oliver Ross

during the Oakland game, 2007 first round draft pick Levi Brown was entered into the starting spot. He held up impressively in his first test. Saturday will be his biggest test so far in his quest to own the starting spot.

FIRST YEAR IN THE NEST

For the Cardinals, 2007 doesn’t just bring with it the promise of a new season, it also ushers in the Ken Whisenhunt era in the

desert.

On January 14, the Cardinals named Whisenhunt their new head coach. He comes to Arizona after having spent the previous six years with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Prior to joining the Steelers, Whisenhunt coached the tight ends with the NY Jets (2000), special teams with the Cleveland Browns (1999) and tight ends with the Baltimore Ravens (1997-98).

Having served as the Steelers tight ends coach from 2001-2003, Whisenhunt was then promoted to offensive coordinator where, over the next three years, he not only helped lead the Steelers to a victory in Super Bowl XL, but he also gained a reputation as one of the most innovative play-callers in the NFL.

In his tenure as offensive coordinator, Whisenhunt:

Improved the Steelers running game from 31st overall

to second overall in his first year as coordinator.

Helped lead the team to a victory in Super Bowl XL.

Averaged 2,226 yards and 18 TDs a season on the ground.

Helped guide the team to a 34-14 record.

2007 HEAD COACHING CLASS

Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt joins Atlanta’s Bobby Petrino, Miami’s Cam Cameron, Oakland’s Lane Kiffin and Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin as first year head

coaches entering the 2007 season looking to repeat the success of last year’s rookie coaches Sean Payton (Saints) and Eric Mangini (Jets). Payton and Mangini were the only two first-year head coaches that finished 2006 with a winning record and a playoff appearance.

However, all but two teams (Detroit and Minnesota) managed to improve upon their record from 2005. Below is a list of the 2006 rookie head coaches and the results of their inaugural season vs. the results of their team’s 2005 performance: Coach (Team) W-L ’06 W-L ’05 +/-

Brad Childress (Minnesota) 6-10 9-7 -3 Gary Kubiak (Houston) 6-10 2-14 +4 Scott Linehan (St. Louis) 8-8 6-10 +2 Eric Mangini (NYJ) 10-6* 4-12 +6 Rod Marinelli (Detroit) 3-13 5-11 -2 Mike McCarthy (Green Bay) 8-8 4-12 +4 Sean Payton (New Orleans) 13-3** 3-13 +10 * Clinched playoff birth ** Clinched NFC South title

VERY SPECIAL TEAMS

The Cardinals enter the 2007 season with an impressive roster of special teams performers. Whether it be players held over from the 2006 Cardinals roster or players added by new head coach Ken Whisenhunt, Arizona’s special teamers have had significant success in the NFL.

Among the standouts on the Cardinals special teams are: J.J. Arrington-The Cardinals kickoff return man in 2006, Arrington became the first Cardinal since 2003 to return a kickoff for a TD

when he took the opening kickoff 99 yards at Minnesota on 11/26/06.

Aaron Francisco-Francisco was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate for his special teams play in 2006 after leading the Cardinals in

tackles with 23. Nathan Hodel-In his sixth year with the Cardinals, Hodel is one of the steadiest long snappers in the NFL having handled the

longsnapping duties in all 80 games over the last five seasons, never missing a snap over that period. Hanik Milligan-Claimed by the Cardinals off waivers on 9/3/06 and re-signed to a two-year contract in March of 2007, Milligan has

collected 58 special teams tackles over the last three seasons and was named to the Pro Bowl as a special teams need player in 2005 with San Diego.

Sean Morey-A special teams standout throughout his career, Morey was named the Steelers’ Special Teams Co-Captain in 2005

and 2006, leading Pittsburgh in special teams tackles in each of his three years with the Steelers (2004-06) and was named a Pro Bowl alternate in 2005. Scott Player-Entering his 10

th year with the Cardinals, Player earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2000 and is the Cardinals all-time

leader in total career punts (714), yards (30,752) and punts downed inside the 20 (179). Neil Rackers-A Pro Bowler in 2005, Rackers holds the NFL’s all-time record for field goals in a season with 40. Rackers connected

on 31 consecutive field goal attempts in 2005, shattering the previous franchise record of 11 set by Bill Gramatica in 2001 and his 95.2 field goal percentage (40-42) in 2005 is another Cardinals record. Matt Ware-Having collected 46 special teams tackles over the last three seasons, Ware ranked second in special teams unit

production points (169) for the Eagles in 2005. The Cardinals added another piece they believe will help them in the 2007 season when they selected Michigan wide receiver/return specialist Steve Breaston in the fifth round (142

nd overall) of the draft. Breaston holds the Big Ten career records for

punt returns (127) and yards (1,599). He also holds Michigan records in each of those categories as well as kickoff returns (77), yards (1,993), and punt return touchdowns (4, tied with Derrick Alexander).

PENDERGAST STILL THE MAN FOR CARDS DEFENSE

Despite hiring new head coach Ken Whisenhunt and almost entirely remaking the Cardinals coaching staff, defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast still holds the reigns of the Cardinals defense. Pendergast, who was one of two assistants retained by Whisenhunt (assistant defensive backs coach Rick Courtright was the other) enters his fourth season with the Cardinals. A native of Phoenix, Pengergast improved the defense’s overall ranking from 26

th to 12

th overall in his first year as

coordinator. In 2005, the defense ranked 8th overall, the first

top ten ranking for a Cardinals defense since 1994 when they ranked third overall. The Cardinals 2006 defense forced 33 turnovers (17 fumble recoveries and 16 interceptions) which was good for fifth most in the NFL. In the three years under Pendergast, the defense forced 89 turnovers, which ranks 10

th in the NFL

over that span. An innovative defensive mind, Pendergast has helped players such as Bertrand Berry and Adrian Wilson to Pro Bowl appearances. Wilson, used all over the field in Pendergast’s schemes, has become one of the most feared defenders in the NFL.

SUPER STAFF

The Cardinals are a team widely recognized around the league as having outstanding talent. With Pro Bowlers several skill positions and a young franchise quarterback, the team has been taking huge strides towards success. The organization took another giant stride in the offseason, securing an almost entirely revamped coaching staff. It is a staff loaded with coaches who have already shown an ability to reach the big game. Whether it be at the collegiate or professional level, as players or as coaches, this staff is one that has shown a knack for bringing home the hardware.

In total, the Cardinals new coaching staff has a combined 110 years of coaching experience at the NFL level, 115 years of coaching experience at the college level and 50 years of experience playing at the NFL level.

A LOTT OF IMPROVEMENT One of head coach Ken Whisenhunt’s most talked about hires has been strength and conditioning coach John Lott. It didn’t take the Texas native and 10-year NFL veteran to make an impact on the organization. Over a six week period this offseason, Lott oversaw the complete renovation of the Cardinals weight room at the Tempe training facility. Under Lott, the team’s training philosophy gears more towards free weights (bench press, squats, medicine ball and power cleans) as well as dynamic movements on the field. The new workout is focused not only on improving the player’s strength but their flexibility and overall athleticism as well. A quick look around the locker room will answer any questions as to whether the offseason program has been a success. The amount of weight that players on both sides of the ball have lost is staggering. Player New Weight Lost (Pds)

BRINGING THE RUSH The Cardinals rushing attack finished ranked 32

nd overall in

2005 and 30th

overall in 2006, making it an area the Red Birds are striving to improve heading into 2007. Enter new Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt and his Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line Russ Grimm. As two of the main components behind Pittsburgh’s formidable rushing attack, they look to duplicate their success here in Arizona. Here is a look at the Steelers’ rushing numbers between 2004-2006, Whisenhunt’s years as offensive coordinator.

Year Att. Yds. Avg. TD

2006 469 1,992 4.3 16 2005 549 2,223 4.1 21 2004 618 2,464 4.0 16 Totals 1,636 6,679 4.1 53

Between 2004 and 2006, the Steelers offense averaged 545 rushing attempts, 2,226 yards for a 4.1 yard average and almost 18 TD’s. Of the 3,013 total offensive plays run by the Steelers between 2004 and 2006, 1,636 of them, or 54.3%, were rushing plays. Between that same time period, the Cardinals ran a total of 3,121 plays, with 1,254 of them, or 40.2%, as rushing plays.

Cardinals vs. Texans Page 8 of 23 www.azcardinals.com

STRENGTHENING THE CORE

Cardinals General Manager Rod Graves has spent the past few seasons identifying the team’s core players and re-signing them to contracts or extending their existing deals.

Anquan Boldin-A two-time Pro Bowler who reached 300

receptions faster than any receiver in NFL history. He signed a four-year contract extension in July of 2005.

Darnell Dockett-Has started 47 or 48 games in his first

three seasons while displaying impressive big-play ability. He signed a five-year contract extension in October of 2006.

Aaron Francisco-Has played in 27 games his first two

years and was named a Pro Bowl alternate for his special teams prowess in 2006. Signed a four-year contract extension in December of 2006.

Gerald Hayes-Coming off his first season as a full-time

starter at linebacker and led the team with 111 tackles despite missing two games. Signed a five-year contract extension in November of 2006.

Neil Rackers-Set the NFL record for field goals in a

season in 2005 when he connected on 40. Signed a four-year extension in November of 2005.

Reggie Wells-Has started the last 42 games in which he

appeared in with the Cardinals. Cardinals offered an offer sheet from the Buffalo Bills which resulted in a five-year deal that he signed in March of 2006.

Adrian Wilson-Has become the unquestioned leader of

the Cardinals defense while earning his first Pro Bowl nod in 2006. Signed a five-year extension in December of 2004.

HALEY FOLLOWING LINEAGE Todd Haley may be in his first year as offensive coordinator for the Cardinals but he is not new to the NFL. In his 11

th

NFL season, he comes from the Dallas where he was the Cowboys passing game coordinator in 2006.

However, Haley’s introduction to the NFL came a lot earlier than 11 years ago. The son of Dick Haley, the former Director of Player Personnel for the Pittsburgh Steelers (1971-90) and New York Jets (1991-2002), Todd has been around the NFL his entire life.

Long before he became a coach, Haley was a ballboy for the Super Bowl Championship Steelers teams of the 1970s.

He got his first NFL coaching job in 1997 with the New York Jets under head coach Bill Parcells. He then went on to coach receivers in Chicago (2001-03) and Dallas (2004-06) before coming to Arizona

FREE AGENT SIGNINGS The Cardinals new coaching staff went into free agency in the offseason with the intent on picking up numerous players who could compete for starting positions and help increase the depth on the team. Here are some of the free agents signed by the Cardinals in the offseason. Mike Gandy-Signed with the Cardinals as an unrestricted

free agent on 4/2/07. Has started the last 62 games in which he has appeared with the Buffalo Bills (2005-06) and Chicago Bears (2001-04). Terrence Holt-The younger brother of NFC West rival

Torry Holt, was a college teammate and roommate of Cardinals Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson at North Carolina State. Started 27 of the 53 games he appeared in at Detroit (2003-06). Roderick Hood- Appeared in 56 regular season games

with the Eagles between 2003-06 and also played in seven postseason games with three starts. In 2005, was selected to USA Today’s ―All-Joe‖ team which recognizes players whose contributions are valuable but seldom heralded. Al Johnson-Was the Cardinals first free agent signing of

2007 after agreeing to a four-year contract on 3/5/07. Originally a second round pick (38

th overall) in the 2003

NFL Draft by Dallas, started 31 consecutive games for the Cowboys between 2004-2005. Sean Morey-A special teams standout throughout his

career, he was named the Steelers’ Special Teams Co-Captain in 2005 and 2006, leading Pittsburgh in special teams tackles in each of his three years with the Steelers (2004-06) and was named a Pro Bowl alternate in 2005. Terrelle Smith-Has blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher five

times in his seven years in the league, including running backs Deuce McCallister and Ricky Williams in New Orleans and Reuben Droughns in Cleveland.

GRIMM TAKES OVER THE LINE

One of the first areas new head coach Ken Whisenhunt wanted to address when he took over in Arizona was the offensive line. The first thing he had to do was find a new offensive line coach and when your top candidate has a resume that reads:

Three time Super Bowl Champion as an offensive lineman

One Super Bowl Championship as an offensive line coach

Four -time Pro Bowl selection as an offensive lineman

First-team selection to the 1980’s all-decade team as an offensive lineman

Hall of Fame nominee as an offensive lineman

It would be safe to say that you need to look no further.

Russ Grimm took over the assistant head coach/offensive line position on Januray 23 and has wasted no time pushing his philosophies of toughness and discipline and finding the personnel to fit that philosophy. With Grimm’s input, the Cardinals went out and signed free agent linemen Al Johnson, Mike Gandy and drafted tackle Levi Brown with the fifth overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, which makes for a good start to the Grimm tenure.

Cardinals vs. Texans Page 9 of 23 www.azcardinals.com

DOMINATING SINCE 1999

Edgerrin James was selected by the Colts with the fourth-overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft and since that time no other running back has gained as many yards on the ground as James. Since entering the league, James has tallied 10,385 yards. The next closest back is Tiki Barber, who retired following the 2006 season. The active rusher closest to James is San Diego running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who has gained 9,176 since 1999. Here’s a look at the top five running backs by yardage since 1999: Player Yards Attempts Games Edgerrin James 9,226 2,188 96

Curtis Martin 9,015 2,191 108 Corey Dillon 8,170 1,924 103 Tiki Barber 8,110 1,702 110 Shaun Alexander 7,817 1,717 96

MAKING A MOVE

Having entrenched himself among the top 20 All-Time NFL rushing leaders in 2006 when he moved into 19

th place,

James looks to make a significant move up the list with another 1,00-yard season in 2007.

It shouldn’t take long for James to get to the 17th spot, as

he only needs 65 yards to pass Tiki Barber for that spot. If James rushes for 1,000 yards for the second consecutive season in Arizona, he will at least reach Washington great John Riggins who currently sits in 13

th place with 11,352

career yards. Entering 2007, James is the only active player on the rushing list, with running back Curtis Martin, a close James friend, retiring before the season. All-Time NFL Rushing Leaders: Rk Player Att. Yds. TD

LEINART ENTERS YEAR TWO

The Matt Leinart era in Arizona began earlier than expected in 2006. After taking over the starting role in Week five against Kansas City, Leinart performed well in his first NFL action.

Leinart showed significant improvement as the year went on, improving his stats in nearly every category over the last six weeks of the season.

Some of Leinart’s accomplishments in his first year:

Set NFL rookie record for passing yards in a game with 405 @ Min (11/26). Leinart became the first rookie in NFL history to pass for more than 400 yards in a game.

Started 11 games and set the Cardinals franchise record for passing yards by a rookie with 2,547, breaking Jake Plummer’s previous record of 2,203 set in 1997.

Became the first Cardinals quarterback since Jake Plummer in 2001 to have three games in a season with a 100+ quarterback rating.

Threw for 200 yards or more in eight games while completing 60% or more of his passes in five of his final six starts of the season.

CARDS-CHARGERS CONNECTIONS

In 2006, Cardinals linebackers coach Billy Davis served

as the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator while Chargers head coach Norv Turner was the offensive

coordinator. Cardinals assistant head coach/offensive line Russ Grimm roamed the sidelines as tight ends coach

(1994-1996) and then offensive line coach (1997-2000) in Washington while Turner was head coach from 1994-2000. Chargers secondary coach Bill Bradley played

Cardinals safety Hanik Milligan played for San Diego from

2003-05 and went to the Pro Bowl in 2005 as a special teams need player. Cardinals tackle Brandon Gorin was also a Charger in 2001 while Chargers head coach Norv Turner was the offensive coordinator.

In 1998, Cardinals defensive line coach Ron Aiken

coached linebackers at San Diego State.

Chargers offensive coordinator Clarence Shelmon

coached running backs at the University of Arizona in Tucson from 1984-86.

At North Carolina State Cardinals strong safety Adrian Wilson (2000) and free safety Terrence Holt (2000-02) played with Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers (2000-

Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett (2003) and linebacker Buster Davis (2003-05) were teammates with Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie (2003-05) at

Florida State.

THE YOUNG AND THE TALENTED

The Cardinals have a wealth of talent on both the offensive and defensive sides of the field. Among them are Pro Bowlers, up-and-coming stars and NFL record holders. Not only are they talented, they are young as well.

Here is a look at some of the Cardinals starters and their ages:

Offense Defense

WR Boldin 26 DE Berry 31 RG Lutui 24 DT Dockett 26 LG Wells 26 DT Watson 23 RT Brown 23 DT Branch 22 TE Pope 23 LB Dansby 25 WR Fitzgerald 23 LB Hayes 26 WR B. Johnson 26 CB Rolle 24 QB Leinart 24 CB Green 25 RB James 29 SS Wilson 27

STEPPING UP The Cardinals lost two starters in the first preseason game at Oakland. Linebacker Chike Okeafor (biceps) and offensive lineman Oliver Ross (triceps) both were lost for an, as of yet, unspecified amount of time. Stepping in to fill those spots are two first round selections. Filling in for Okeafor is linebacker Calvin Pace, a first round pick (18

th overall) in 2003 who has 22 starts

and 7.5 sacks to his credit. Filling in for Ross is 2007 first round selection (5

th overall)

FRESH FROM HAWAII Cardinals strong safety Adrian Wilson enters the 2007 season the way he feels he should have entered the last couple of seasons, fresh off a Pro Bowl appearance. Wilson made it virtually impossible for voters to keep him away from Hawaii with his performance in 2006. The seventh year pro became the first player in NFL history with two touchdowns of 99+ yards in the same season after he returned both an interception and a fumble for touchdowns. On October 1 at Atlanta, Wilson picked off a Michael Vick pass that turned what might have been a 16-3 second quarter lead into a 10-9 Cardinals lead when he ran it back 99 yards for the third touchdown of his career. On November 26 he scooped up a Chester Taylor fumble in the fourth quarter and returned it for a touchdown as the Vikings tried to put away the game in the fourth quarter. Along with becoming the only defenseman with two 99-yard touchdowns in the same season, Wilson became the only NFL player in history with multiple 99-yarders without the benefit of a kickoff return. Wilson rounded out his Pro Bowl season by leading the team in interceptions (4), forced fumbles (4), fumble recoveries (2, tie), tackles for a loss (8), and was third in tackles (87) and fourth in sacks (5).

BOLDIN STILL BREAKING RECORDS

In his first four seasons with the Cardinals, Anquan Boldin has recorded 342 receptions, topping the 100-catch mark in two of those three seasons. Boldin was the fastest player to reach 200 receptions, reaching the milestone in 2005. In 2006, Boldin became the fastest receiver ever to 300 receptions. After 56 career games, Boldin’s 342 receptions top even the most elite receivers in NFL history. Names like Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, Tim Brown and Marvin Harrison have number well below Boldin’s. In fact, Boldin’s 342 receptions are 64 more than the next closest on that list, Marvin Harrison, who had 278. Boldin became the fastest to 300 receptions on October 22 in Oakland during his 47

th career game. That was seven

games than the previous record holder Lionel Taylor of Denver. Below is a history of Boldin’s receiving milestones: Receptions # of Games Opponent, Date

BERRY RETURNS

Cardinals defensive end Bertrand Berry is no stranger to adversity, or overcoming it. Originally drafted by the Colts as a linebacker, Berry moved to defensive end early in his career. Following his stint with the Colts, Berry signed with the St. Louis Rams but didn’t make it through training camp.

Berry then spent 2000 out of football. After a try out with the Denver Broncos on New Years Day 2001, Berry signed with the Broncos where he spent three seasons before signing with the Cardinals in 2004.

After recording an NFC high 14.5 sacks and being named to his first career Pro Bowl in 2004, Berry was on pace for another trip to Hawaii in 2005, recording six sacks in the first eight games before suffering a pectoral muscle injury vs. Seattle (11/6/05) and was placed on injured reserve.

Berry headed into the 2006 season healthy and ready to chase down opposing quarterbacks. Berry was again back to form, collecting six sacks in the final five games he played before suffering a triceps injury vs. Detroit (11/19/106). For the second time in two years, one of the Cardinals unquestioned defensive leaders had to be placed on injured reserve.

Back at full health, Berry enters the 2007 ready to reclaim his spot as one of the league’s premiere pass rushers.

SO YOUNG IT IS SCARY

Larry Fitzgerald has had, when compared to many, a career already in the NFL. He has a Pro Bowl appearance, 3,135 yards receiving on 230 receptions and nine career 100-yard games.

Entering his fourth season in the NFL, the scariest thing about Fitzgerald is that he is only going to get better as he gets older.

At 23 years of age, Fitzgerald is the second youngest receiver on the team despite the fact that he has started in 45 games already. He established the franchise record for receptions in a season with 103 in 2005, only his second year in the NFL. In fact, at 22 years and 123 days, Fitzgerald became the youngest receiver in NFL history to record a 100-catch campaign when he reached the milestone at Indianapolis on 1/1/06.

In 2006, Fitzgerald missed the first action of his NFL career when he had to sit out weeks 6-8 with a hamstring injury. Despite the missed time, Fitzgerald fell only 54 yards short of his second consecutive 1,000-yard season.

In 2007, Fitzgerald can reach a few more milestones if he continues at his current pace. He can:

Become only the eighth receiver in Cardinals history with two 1,000-yard seasons.

Reach 4,000 career receiving yards with 865 yards in 2007.

With 70 receptions, he will reach 300 for his career.

ROOKIE FREE AGENTS Making the roster as an undrafted rookie free agent is a tall task in the NFL. The Cardinals enter the 2007 preseason with 16 players trying to become the next Aaron Francisco, Marcel Shipp or Kurt Warner. With only two preseason games left, the pressure to perform is even greater. CB Michael Adams-Was the number one cornerback at

Louisiana-Lafayette and was also the team’s leading punt returner. CB Travarous Bain-At Northwestern (FL) High School,

was a two-time Foot Locker All-America performer in track. RB Steve Baylark-Was given the Marcel Shipp ironman

who played for the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Raiders while his maternal grandfather, Johnny ―Pie‖ McKenzie, played in the NHL for the Boston Bruins. G Brian Johnson-A versatile lineman who started 28

times in 44 career games, his starts came at right guard (12), right tackle (15) and left guard (1). S Brandon Keeler-Won the State 4A Championship in

the long jump and 110 hurdles as a senior while placing fifth in the 300 hurdles and sixth in the triple jump. QB Toby Korrodi-Married his high school sweetheart,

California-Davis following the 2002 season, went on to start 32 consecutive games to finish his college career. FB Roshon Vercher-Appeared in 44 games for Fresno

State and was the lead blocker for four consecutive 1,000-yard rushers during his days with the Bulldogs.

JUST 100 MORE

Cardinals placekicker Neil Rackers is coming off back-to-back 100+ point seasons, something accomplished one other time in Cardinals history. Cardinals back Pat Harder was the first player in NFL history to have three consecutive 100-point seasons (1947-49). If Rackers can make it three years in a row with at least 100 points he will not only share the franchise record with Harder, but he will also move into second place on the Cardinals all-time points list. He needs exactly 100 points to move ahead of Greg Davis, who currently sits in second place with 484 career points. Cardinal great Jim Bakken holds the Cardinals career points record with 1,380.

The Cardinals opponents went 118-138 (.461) in 2006. The NFC West has three of the top five easiest schedules in 2007, with the St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers joining the Cardinals.

Here’s a breakdown of the five hardest and five easiest schedules. Chicago, for the second year in a row, has one of the easiest schedules in the NFL.

CARDINALS ON THE NFL NETWORK

The NFL Network will be airing 52 preseason games in 29 days in 2007, including a record eight live games.

The Cardinals will appear in two of those live games, the first was last week when the Houston Texans visited Arizona and the second this week when the San Diego Chargers come to University of Phoenix Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 25 at 7:00 PM as the second game in an NFL Network doubleheader.

For the simulcasts, the NFL Network will be using the television feeds of local broadcasters and make use of both sets of announcers. For example, when San Diego visits Arizona, NFL Network will use the Cardinals announcers in the first half and the Chargers announcers in the second half.

The only games the NFL Network will not air during the 2007 preseason are the 13 games that are nationally televised by the NFL’s other network partners—CBS, ESPN, FOX and NBC.

CARDS OPEN ON MNF For the first time in team history, the Cardinals will open a season on Monday Night Football. In head coach Ken Whisenhunt’s first regular season appearance, the Cardinals travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers in the second half of a Monday Night doubleheader on ESPN. ―It is special to be on Monday Night Football and to get an opening week Monday Night game is particularly exciting,‖ said Cardianls head coach Ken Whisenhunt. ―Playing a strong and talented team like the 49ers right out of the block will certainly be a good early test for our team.‖ The Cardinals have played on Monday Night Footbal 17 times since 1970. Last year the Cardinals hosted the Chicago Bears at University of Phoenix Stadium in the team’s first appearance on MNF since 1999. This year’s match-up with the 49ers will mark the first MNF road game for the Cardinals since the team traveled to Washington to play the Redskins in 1985.
