Let's talk Arizona Cardinals

Great info Madcarddisease.

I will be surprised if the Cardinals run 4 and 5 wr sets with the offensive line looking the way that it is. It's going to be hard to hold up without that running back or tight end staying in to block.

Regarding Patrick Peterson he's a high risk high reward corner. I don't think he will match up well with Cooks due to his quick twitch/shifty style.

I think this boils down to the Cardinals ability to get pressure on Brees rushing 4. If they aren't able to do that it doesn't matter how good the corners/safeties are Brees is going to shred them.

Less than 48 hours to go!

Yeah Bruce Arians loves to spread the field and chuck the ball. Expect to see a bunch of WRs on the field. Even with Palmer coming off a major knee injury and questions on the OL Arians won't change.

We aren't really sure how the new DC will call things with Peterson. I wouldn't be shocked to see him cover Colston man and have Powers with help cover Cooks.

I agree it all comes down to can the Cardinals get to Brees. The Cardinals won't be able to get pressure with their front 4 alone. Expect a lot of Blitzes to manufature a pass rush. If Brees can take advantage of the Cardinals complicated blitz package he could have a big day. The Cardinals in the past aren't afraid to bring the house and I expect them to bring it under new DC James Bettcher.

One thing is for sure, the Cardinals Defense has been very dominate at home with the crowd noise. This is especially true for teams with OLines who are young or new to playing together.
