Russ Grimm to bring toughness to the Cards offense

The Cardinals have brought in Russ Grimm to coach their offensive line and he will make a difference.  Grimm has been a Pro-Bowl offensive lineman in his playing days and he’s helped develop a lot of Steelers offensive linemen into Pro Bowlers.  Look for him to motivate and teach the talented but underachieving offensive line of the Cardinals.  Running back Edgerrin James is likely to be the biggest beneficiary of the Cardinals improvement in offensive line as he often was getting blown up before he got to the line of scrimmage last season.  Also, improved blocking should give Matt Leinart more time to throw the football.  Russ Grimm was an excellent signing by the Cardinals.

TEs forgot about in the Cardinals offense

Adam Bergen played in 14 games (7 starts) and he caught 15 passes for 111 yards (7.4 avg) with 1 TD grab.  For his career, Bergen has played in 30 games (16 starts) and he has caught 43 passes for 381 yards (8.9 avg) with 2 TD grabs.

John Bronson played in 2 games and caught 1 pass for 25 yards.  He’s played in 3 games over his career, but has only caught the one pass in it.

Fred Wakefield played in all 16 games (9 starts) and he caught 2 passes for 24 yards (12.0 avg).  He has played in 73 games over his career (49 starts) and he’s only caught the two passes from this season.
