Tempers flare at Cards camp
Sparks were flying Wednesday night as tempers flared during a nearly two-hour Cardinals practice, and it was still generating a buzz Thursday. The spirited workout ended up taking a turn for the worse when, at the conclusion of a passing play, linebacker Travis LaBoy shoved reserve quarterback Brian St. Pierre to the ground from behind. Several players on offense, led by quarterback Kurt Warner, got in LaBoy's face and coach Ken Whisenhunt immediately lectured LaBoy about the hit. But the tension was still mounting and eventually, the session was ended early after a mob scene broke out when safety Adrian Wilson put a clean, but extra-hard hit on rookie running back Tim Hightower during a goal-line competition.

Here's hoping they can do this in an actual game.

hmm not sure what to make of this, perhaps the cards defense will carry an attitude on the field this season. which could be a good thing.
or perhaps the defense is so emotional, they will disrupt the team, cause locker room issues, and generally sink the cardinals. which has happened in the past before..

"hmm not sure what to make of this,"
How about the same thing we've made from it for the last 40 years? They're going to bite just like they always do.
When LaBoy is looking for a job at some point, how many coaches and owners are going have a good feeling about signing a guy who committed the biggest no-no you can make in practice and what guarantee would they have that it wouldn't happen to their 15 million dollar franchise QB? The QBs wear those red shirts for a reason. That was just stupid of him to do.

Agree that it was stupid of him to do that, but I think it is good to see aggression from the defense......they play that way and play well in games, and the offensive players are going to forget all about getting hit a couple of times in practice.

Kurt is a real leader. If the Rams still had him, they would be a playoff team instead of being lucky to win 4 games.

Or perhaps they will be cut before the regular season starts for being **** and not following rules accordingly.

It got intense because it was the first time they had been around the goal line in a while - cut 'em some slack! =)

Two QBs who could start, a good running back, two top notch receivers, and an improving offensive line. An all pro safety, a good defensive tackle, and an overall pretty good defense.
Will this team ever play to its promise?

I have never seen a team come unravelled like this BEFORE regular season even starts.

c note - I think that will happen this year, in year two for Whisenhunt. This team easily could have had 10-11 wins last year, and I think the second year for the new coach will be the steadying factor. Watch for the Cards to win the NFC West
