08:11 AM ET 09.23 | As Arizona prepares for what Kevin Kolb referred to earlier this week as a must-win, there may be more significant issues on D. Word is a lack of leadership on the defensive side of the ball for the Cardinals has been clearly evident in the season's early stages. "I don't know if there's a guy who will step up and start showing some emotion," one daily team observer said. ... [Two candidates include] Paris Lenon and 2010 free-agent addition Joey Porter, who was expected to light a fire in the locker room as well as the outside pass rush. "Paris has been around, but he's not real demonstrative," the observer said. "And it would be hard for Porter to fill the role after taking such a huge paycut and clearly not being the player he once was."

The first thought that came to my mind was Paris Hilton. I think she's been passed around some, too.

What, so Kolb DIDN'T fix the entire team? Where's Derek Anderson when you need him?
No, really, where is he?

Porter has never been a shy kind of player, he will probably try to light a fire under them. They are not a defensive powerhouse, not much kindling to light.
Mangler.

Well considering they traded their best cover corner to get a quarterback who doesn't look that good, they let their best linebacker go last offseason and now it is just Dockett & AWilson
