For a player who is used to starting,,, getting benched for a younger player can be tough to take. Such is the case with the Arizona Cardinals� running back Edgerrin James. After starting the first part of this season,Technology Leasing Companies -Canada � Inside Info On Computer & Software Finance, he was benched in favor of rookie running back Tim Hightower. Since that time,,, James has only been given the ball three times, totaling in a gain of five yards. The lack of playing time is not sitting well with the 10 year veteran,Getting The Best With Mississauga Daycare And Birthday Parties, who recently asked the Cardinals to release him. General manager Rod Graves declined to entertain to idea and plans on keeping James on the roster for the rest of this season at least. The Cardinals need James should anything happen to Hightower as their other backup,custom bobblehead, J.J. Arrington, is not what the Cardinals consider a every down back. The Cardinals are 7 3 as of week 11 and are in a good position to win the NFC West, which would be the first time they had done such a feat in 33 years.

So far this season, James has started seven games and tallied 385 yards and three touchdowns. He hadn�t tallied a 100 yard or more game since the opening game against the San Francisco 49ers. Hightower did just that with his first start against the St. Louis Rams during week nine with 109 yards and one touchdown. Since then, however, he has only tallied 22 yards in the game against the San Francisco 49ers and 35 yards against the Seattle Seahawks.
