Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt is full of praise for running back Beanie Wells’ performance in preseason games and in training camp. Whisenhunt said Wells, elevated to the unquestioned No. 1 at his position with the trade of Tim Hightower, is running the fast, powerful way he did late in his rookie season two years ago. “Confidence in this game is a big part of it,†Whisenhunt said after practice Tuesday. “He’s running with a lot of confidence. You know he believes he can make plays. I remember the end of his rookie year he was running the same way. He was making some of those runs. That’s what gets you so excited about Beanie. Part of it is he’s healthy, part of it is he is more confident.†The coach also said Wells has worked hard to improve his pass blocking, long a weakness in the former Ohio State star’s game.

Beanie's gonna get the chance to cart the rock as much as he possibly can handle. As long as he stays healthy, he could be a decent back. Won't be good as a third down back or a guy to catch a pass out of the backfield, but he'll get plenty of opportunities to carry the ball...
