CARDINALS @ RAMS...NFL WEEK 1 Late Slate...Everyone is talking SEAHAWKS and 49ERS but the WEST is no Two-Trick Pony...the Bruce ARIANS #BIRDGang travels to the GATEWAY to the West and takes on the Jeff FISHER Group and the New RAMS...A QB DRIVEN League in the NFC WEST for sure...PALMER at QB for ZONA...BRADFORD for RAMS...RAMS "D" Loaded on all levels...

The Arizona Cardinals hire Bruce "the Mad-Bomber" Arians and his Vertical Passing Game Approach and then he adds QB Carson Palmer. The Bird Gang also adds pieces like Steelers 1st round castoff RB Shard Mendenhall. They still have WR Fitz and that Bird Gang Defense is re-tooled as Patrick Peterson leads a New Secondary featuring the "Honey Badger".

The Rams are absolutely loaded and its though talking the NFC West it's a two-trick pony and how dare you go against a Jeff Fisher Coached Grown-Man Tackle Football Club. The Rams have pieces all over the place and that "D" is about to become a household name before we leave the September Schedule.

Keys for #BIRDGang

QB Carson needs to get Max-Protection as he still is one of more accurate NFL QBs in the Business as Arians will throw down field and down field a lot.

Who will help WR Larry FITZgerald as he is Option #1 and #2 on the Outside as he will be lined up everywhere in the Slot, Wide and in option to get him some clean and quick releases. Will the Real Micheal Floyd stand up?

Shard Mendenhall adds what the Cards think is a solid Run Game. RB Ryan Williams and Stefan Taylor add quality depth behind Mendenhall. Losing Top 2013 Pick OG Jonathan Cooper is a killer.

Defensively they are stout upfront with Darnell Dockett and Calais Campbell. The Backers are good as they get Karlos Dansby back. They will miss 2012 Leading Tackler in ILB Daryl Washington as he is out the first four games of the 2013 season.

The Secondary should be fantastic lead by Patrick Paterson and 2013 3rd rounder Tyrann Matheiu. The "Honey Badger" will be penciled in at Free Safety but expect him to be at KR/Nickel CB/PR.

QB Bradford is poised to have a huge year but can he get a descent Run Game to compliment his exploits? First Back up 2012 7th rounder Daryl Richardson...hmmmmmm!

Bring'em...Bring'em out...where is 2013 Top Pick Tavon "Faster than the Speed of Sound " Austin?

The O-Line has a Patch Job but on Paper a good patch job with the Falcons Harvey Dahl, Packers Scott Wells, and ex-Phins 1st rounder Jake Long. They should be able to give Bradford the time needed to do damage.

The D-Line has Top-Flight Bookend in Chris Bloodline Long (Son of HOF DT Howie Long) and Robert Quinn. They also have man-eaters in Michael Brockers and Kendal Langford. They are backed up by Backers James Luaranitis and 2013 1st rounder Alec Ogletree who is a real good one from "Between the Hedges U".

The Secondary is led by Corners Cortland Finnegan and 2nd year Stud Janoris Jenkins and they are a Top 5 Duo. Darian Stewart is a Solid Safety along with Bloodline in TJ McDonald (Son of Former 49esr Safety and USC Trojan Tim McDonald) .

Winner: Rams 24-16...Bradford locks in and that Rams "D" looks the part
