I am buying the Cards, finally. Edgerrin James is exactly what they needed. The Cards OL was very suspect last year, however no worse than the Colts as far as talent goes. The Colts were #1 in the league in terms of sack given up, and that line isn't any good. Peyton deserves most of the credit, but a lot goes to Edge for his excellent blitz pickup skills, and the threat of running he brought that put more pressure on coodinators to back off the blitz with him in the backfield. With him in Arizona, sit tight and watch the Cards sack totals go way down, and the Colts go up to where they should be with the weak line they have.
The Cards had the no. 1 pass O last year and the no. 32 rushing attack. Again, Edge is exactly what they needed.
