ARIZONA CARDINALS it's your Turn...or is it? Lead Man ARIANS leads the Charge as "BIRD GANG" has plenty of PIECES but is Old-Man CARSON PALMER the Answer behind Center?...that "BIRD GANG" D is Real led by Island #1B in Football PATRICK PETERSON.."A QB DRIVEN LEAGUE" well ARIANS is a QB Guru! #BirdGang #RedZone #AZCardsFootball

The Arizona Cardinals were the only Team in 2013 and 2014 for the fact of the matter including "Fight 4 Vince" Time to beat the World Champion Seattle Seahawks near the Space Needle. Yes the Bird Gang will be coming again this time with some real know how as they are a real threat in the NFC West.

Carson Palmer when given the ample time is like Drew Brees putting it right in the basket. They picked by Jonathan Dwyer from the Steelers to play behind RBs Andre Ellington and Stefan Taylor and something tells me they will need the J.Y.D. at some point. They also grabbed Ted Ginn Jr. from Back in Black N.C. Football to go with "Fitz" and Michael Floyd who turned a huge corner in 2013. That "D" is real and they play the best from Top to Bottom on "D" in the NFC West better than any other Division in Football.

Key Players

Offense
QB Palmer
RBs Taylor/Ellington/Dwyer (2014 FA Steelers)
WRs Fitz/Floyd/Ginn Jr. (2014 FA Panthers)
OG J. Cooper (2013 #1 Pick UNC)
TE Troy Niklas (2014 #2 Pick Notre Dame)

Defense
RDT D. Dockett
LILB L. Foote (2014 FA Steelers)
LCB Peterson
RCB Antonio Cromartie (2014 FA NY Jets)
SS Deone Bucannon (2014 #1 Pick WAZU)

The Offense will rely heavily on Palmer and the Passing Game as they need to get that Running Back Committee going as there is three different talents they can use. Watch for Ted Ginn Jr. to take the Top of Secondaries so that "Fitz" has more room underneath. Floyd is their #1 WR but "Fitz" is still heavily accounted for all over just not deep. 201 #1 Pick OG Jonathan Cooper (the best O-Lineman in the 2013 Draft) broke is his leg in the 2013 Pre-Season so this will be his rookie campaign if he can regain form on Tape at UNC that made him special.

Defensively the Cards start upfront with DE Calias Campbell and Darnell Dockett. They pick up Larry Foote from the Steelers for his leadership and Steeler know how as the Bird Gang is the Steelers NFC Affiliate and yes I went there and I thought it was just Coach Whisenhunt not getting that Steelers Job. Losing 5-Star Backer Daryl Washington will hurt be he can't keep himself from the Orange Suits!  The Cards also upgraded their Corners by adding Antonio Cromartie to go with "P2" Patrick Peterson. The "Honey Badger" will start on the PUP List but he should be ready for action in Week 7 the Cards think! Can the Bird Gang get right in the middle of the Seahawks and 49ers in 2014..I think they can real Sunday Talk!
