Revenge of the Birds
We are finally back, even if it is only the preseason.
For the Arizona Cardinals it is the first time we are seeing the starters get work in under Jonathan Gannon, but that is not the only thing to watch tonight.
Here are five things to watch in tonight’s Arizona Cardinals matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Cardinals have looked good in practice, but that is practice. They are giving the Chiefs a look tonight with the starters, and we will see where they are in the process of getting ready for the 2025 season.
2. How does the new look defensive line look?
While we are unlikely to see much of them, how will the new defensive line be deployed and how do they look together?
3. What does the cornerback rotation look like?
The Cardinals depth chart had 12 starters, so how do they rotate the corners onto the field? While the starters could change between now and week one of the actual season, but how do we get these guys on the field in preseason week one?
4. How do the day three rookies look?
People are excited about Cody Simon, and Denzel Burke is pushing his way to the rotation, but it doesn’t mean anything until the bullets are flying. Now, Simon and Burke will get work against a team other than the Arizona Cardinals, and how do they respond?
5. Who is on the block?
Cut, chopping, trade? Doesn’t matter, the Cardinals are in a different position than normal, they have depth and talent. So, they actually have players that need to show something this season, does that happen in the first preseason game?
