Cardinals fourth-round rookie OLB Sam Acho recorded two sacks, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in Week 12 against the Rams.
His transition from college defensive end is going swimmingly, with five sacks in five starts since taking over for a washed-up Joey Porter. Acho's surprisingly quick development bodes well for a Cardinals defense desperately in need of a young pass rusher. He should be a fixture for 2012.

The Cardinals intend to use fourth-round pick Sam Acho at outside linebacker.
Acho played defensive end as a college senior, but actually served as an outside linebacker in his first two years at Texas. He is not an athletic freak, but did post a solid 40-time of 4.62 at the Combine while turning in a 33.5-inch vertical. The position transition should be a manageable one for him. We just wouldn't expect a starting-caliber upside from Acho.

Cardinals selected Texas DE Sam Acho with the No. 103 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.
An above-average pass rusher, Acho could have trouble settling into a position in the NFL, as he's a bit slight to stop the run as a defensive end, but perhaps not athletic enough to man outside linebacker. However, he's regarded as a strong leader with a solid football IQ, and should be able to find a niche in the desert before too long.
Sat, Apr 30, 2011 12:24:00 PM
Texas DE Sam Acho ran in the 4.65 range at the Scouting Combine Monday, and also impressed in linebacker drills.
SI's Tony Pauline suggests that Acho earned consideration to kick to outside linebacker in 3-4 defenses, which would help his draft stock because he would now appeal to all schemes. Acho could get dinged a bit because he's just under the 6-foot-2 benchmark, but makes up for it with nearly 36-inch arms. He's shaping up as a quality second-round prospect.

Sidelined
Coach Bruce Arians reiterated that the running back spot is open to competition.
Rashard Mendenhall may be the slight favorite as he had his best years under Arians in Pittsburgh and will be roughly 20 months removed from his ACL tear when Week 1 rolls around. But Ryan Williams, Stepfan Taylor and Andre Ellington will all be in the mix as well. "You really can't tell until the lights come on," Arians said. "Some were different from this morning's walkthrough to the afternoon practice. Until you turn the lights on, you really don't know about them."
