Steelers signed OT D'Anthony Batiste, formerly of the Cardinals. | ||||||
Batiste, 31, started ten games at left tackle for the Cardinals last season, and was arguably the worst lineman in all of football. He surrendered seven sacks and a whopping 35 hurries in those ten contests. Batiste will compete with Guy Whimper for a backup spot behind starters Marcus Gilbert and Mike Adams. | ||||||

Cardinals LT D'Anthony Batiste was benched in favor of Nate Potter during Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Packers. | ||||||
Finally. Batiste has been the worst left tackle in the league this season and is a big reason why the Cardinals' offensive line reached historically bad proportions. Potter is a seventh-round rookie, but he can't do much worse. Expect him to start in Week 11 when the Cardinals come out of their bye. | ||||||

D'Anthony Batiste is in the driver's seat for the Cardinals starting LT job. | ||||||
"Our hopes were he was going to take the right tackle position . and be a backup for left tackle," said head coach Ken Whisenhunt. But with incumbent starting LT Levi Brown on IR with a triceps injury, Batiste has asserted himself at the position. The preseason finale will ultimately decide whether the Cardinals roll with Batiste or seek out a veteran like Alex Barron or Chad Clifton. | ||||||

| Tue Aug 21 2012 | 11:14 | Batiste favorite for left-tackle duties? | ||||
Unless second-year pro D.J. Young "wows" the coaching staff, the Arizona Republic expects journeyman D'Anthony Batiste to be named the Cardinals' left tackle. | ||||||
Batiste was beginning to assert himself at right tackle before LT Levi Brown's season-threatening triceps injury. Beat writer Kent Somers believes rookie Bobby Massie will be the favorite to start at right tackle if Batiste is shifted to the blindside. An eight-year veteran, Batiste has appeared in 22 total games for six different teams, making just four starts. Protection is going to be a huge issue for presumptive quarterback John Skelton. | ||||||

| Tue Aug 14 2012 | 18:08 | Batiste will start at right tackle for Cards | ||||
D'Anthony Batiste will replace Jeremy Bridges as the starting right tackle in the second preseason game. | ||||||
The hope was that rookie Bobby Massie would emerge as the starter, but he continues to run with the second team. Bridges, meanwhile, is working as the second-string right guard. The offensive line remains a major concern in Arizona. | ||||||
