Edge providing some laughs

Running back Edgerrin James is slashing again for the Cardinals, and not just when he's carrying the football.

James provided some light moments after the team's workout in Tempe on Thursday, mostly about his benching and return to the lineup.

"It's kind of boring, that's the only thing," he said of his bench time. "You get bored standing around, and you have to learn sideline etiquette.

"You learn when to get up, when to move, where to stand. It's a new world."

For instance, he said when Larry Fitzgerald comes looking for the heater, he has to move. For most, he said "I've got a little seniority."

Somebody asked how the Eagles defense is different from the two defenses the Cardinals have faced in the playoffs.

"I don't know." James said, laughing, "I was by the heater the whole game. The first game, I was on the sidelines."

James is serious about his game and the NFC Championship, though. He said he kept practicing and working as usual until he was called upon again.
