Hello Everyone, The 2024 NFL season has now officially arrived. The fan base of
your Arizona Cardinals has probably not been this excited about
an upcoming season in at least a decade. There is a positive vibe
going on in the locker room, the coaching staff, administration
and among Arizona Cardinal fans not just in Arizona but from around the World.
We just may have something special going on here in this 2024 NFL season.
Our first opponent in this preseason is the New Orleans Saints.
The all-time series between these two teams stands at
16-16.(link below)
In the last meeting in October of 2022, the Cardinals led by Kyler Murray
came away with a victory by a score of 42-34. The defense led the way
with 3 interceptions off Saints QB Andy Dalton. Isaiah Simmons had a 57 yard
Interception TD return in the game. Marco Wilson also had an interception return
for a TD of 31 yards. Eno Benjamin led the way on offense with 92 yards and a TD.
For today's game, we don't expect to see QB Kyler Murray. QBS Desmond Ridder
and Clayton Tune will line up behind center for all the preseason as the time of this print.
a starter has not yet been named. We can expect to see WR Marvin Harrison Jr. in his
exciting NFL debut. The number #1 draft pick has been dazzling in highlights from
training camp. The real battles are in the interior line on both sides of the ball
The entire defensive line has been turned over in personnel. Bilal Nichols, Roy Lopez
and Justin Jones are the 1st team as of today. (The depth Chart is listed below.)
The secondary is another area that will see probably 3 corners Sean Murphy Bunting,
Starling Thomas V and Garrett Williams. Stalwarts Budda Baker and Jalen Thomson
round out the pass defense. At linebacker Zaven Collins just signed his deal as is ready
to go as are Kyzir White returning from injury, Dennis Gardeck and new addition Mack Wilson.
My goal of offense is to see how many people RB James Conner and rookie RB Trey
Benson run over during the season. There has to be a category for bulldozing opponents.
Hajalte Froholdt & Jon Gaines fight for the center position. Guards Evan Brown and Will Hernandez
handle the interior and tackles Paris Johnson and Jonah Willims may give us a power running game.
If they step up in pass protection, my friends we have a possible playoff team.
Who else wants to see TE Trey McBride thrive in this offense along with WR Michael Wilson
who impresses me every time I watch him play. One more guy, we can't forget is Greg Dortch
The guy plays with so much heart and is unafraid. Newcomer WR Zay Jones joins the fray this season
and is expected to contribute in a big way. I would love to see three 1,000 yard WRs on this team in 2024.
We did it with Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston and Anquan Boldin.
Why not more in 2024.
Matt Prater is set to boom kicks and FGs once again and along with Punter Blake Gillikin and long snapper
Aaron Brewer gives us one of the best Kicking games in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals
have a lot to look forward to in the 2024 NFL season. SO, Let's get started.
