One more thing to keep in mind before you jump on this running game this year. :shake:
Wells, Hightower.......and Stephens-Howling?

I read the story from Joe Bryant and it does give a owner reason to worry about their RB's.

Cardinals | Stephens-Howling or Hightower the 3rd down back? Sat Jul 10, 03:53 PM
Dan Arkush, from ProFootballWeekly.com, reports veteran Tim Hightower did a fine job as the Cardinals third-down running back last year, but the team could move in a different direction in 2010. LaRod Stephens-Howling reminds some of Chargers RB Darren Sproles because of his elusiveness, vision, balance, and low center of gravity. "They continue to be really intrigued by him," the observer said of Stephens-Howling. "The only problem is that he's small (5-foot-7) and could have trouble picking up blitzes."
Our view: Stephens-Howling is an explosive playmaker who is very dangerous in open space. He could be playing his way into a bigger role for the Cardinals this year as we expect the team to be more focused on the run with Matt Leinart as their starting quarterback. Hightower is currently listed as the starter in Arizona ahead of Beanie Wells, but the two will certainly share touches in a RBBC. If Stephens-Howling wants to be the change of pace back then he will have to prove himself in pass protection.
