Revenge of the Birds
Happy Thursday one and all.
With the Arizona Cardinals kicking off the 2025 preseason on Saturday against the AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs, we heard that the Cardinals will play their starters, including Kyler Murray on Saturday.
We assumed that would be against the Kansas City Chiefs starters would be playing, but now it is confirmed per Andy Reid.
This is the whole point of getting the Cardinals starters in, seeing them against the opponents starters and getting the competitive juices really flowing.
So, going against what is unquestionably the best franchise of the decade to get the competition, preparation and mindset/focus started three weeks earlier than the last several years is important.
Now, the other thing we have to remember is that this game, even with starters is about knocking rust off, getting a look against another team, and getting out healthy.
If they have success offensively or defensively, or failures, this is not an indictment of the season they will have. It just is getting a look at where they are and getting ready for September 7th against the New Orleans Saints.
