Hes tearing it up, the next drive he ran for about 6, the next play he caught a pass and ran for about 25, 2 plays later he busts off another 25 yard run and tossed the db back 10 yards...when the blockers are blocking...hes one of the baddest men in football

Thru nine weeks:

86 carries for 395 yards (4.6 ypc) and three TDs. If he can keep this up through the rest of the season he might pass 1000 yds.

87 ypg (actually, 86.5) over their final seven games would do it. Now let's see if Arizona wil give him the opportunity...

Wells has deep reservoir of talent

Cardinals running back Beanie Wells looks for an opening in the Seahawks' defense during action at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. Nov. 15, 2009.
Ralph Freso, Tribune

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the next great Cardinals? running back.

OK, it?s not a long list. In fact, there may not be a list at all.

Arizona hasn?t exactly been overstocked at the position.

But here comes Beanie Wells, all stiff arm and smile, a star in the making.

Cards mount late comeback to top Seahawks

Cards notes: Boldin makes splash in his return

Wells certainly got the star treatment after Arizona?s 31-20 victory over the Seattle Seahawks Sunday. As photographers backpedaled to shoot him trotting off the field, several teammates ran up and patted him on the shoulder pads.

It was a Welcome-to-the-NFL moment, recognition for a second half in which he rushed for two touchdowns and 75 of his 85 yards.

Tim Hightower may still be the starter on Sundays, but that?s just a notation on the stat sheet. Wells has become the Cardinals? No. 1 back and to watch him now is to wonder how 30 teams could pass on him in last April?s NFL draft.

?I think we all see why we drafted him when we did and ? the power, strength and explosion he brings to the offense,? quarterback Kurt Warner said. ?It?s fun to watch him.?

A word of caution: Wells is just a rookie. A lot of things can go wrong from here to stardom. Remember Johnny Johnson, the Cardinals? seventh-round draft pick in 1990? He ran for 926 yards as a rookie and went to the Pro Bowl. Three years later, he was a New York Jet. Two years after that, he was out of the league.

But greatness almost always starts with physical gifts and, boy, does Wells have those. He has the burst and quick feet of a much smaller back, but at 6-foot-1 and 228 pounds he can run over people.

?You see guys out there. They don?t want to tackle him,? wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. ?We laugh sometimes because as the game wears on you start seeing guys ducking their heads and turning their shoulders. He?s strong, man. He?s got grown man strength.?

Wow, is it my imagination or does Beanie look even faster than in his Buckeye days? Man...he looks amazing!

Not your imagination, he has put added emphasis in strength and conditioning since joining the NFL. Playing about 10-15 pounds lighter in Arizona than he was as a buckeye. Still dominant :biggrin:

Man, Beanie has always been a freaking beast. I don't see how he dropped that far. And if he reaches his full potential Knoshown Moreno isn't even close to the back he is if you are being real with yourself. Beanie has the potential to be dominant.

They were down 17-10 at half. Beanie's performance really gave them the boost they needed
