2008 Arizona Football Preview:
The Arizona Cardinals are an exciting team to watch this year in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals are looking for their first winning season since 1998 this year, and with last year's 8-8 record, it is looking like a possibility. However, 25 year-old Matt Leinart, the Heisman Trophy winner from USC and starting quarterback for the Cardinals, is going to have to prove he can be comfortable in a hurry-up offense. So far, Leinart has failed to impress, and has needed backup from Super Bowl winning veteran Kurt Warner. Things are looking up in Arizona, with former Colts star running back Edgerrin James at the helm for moving the ball on the ground, and Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin preparing to make some big catches no matter who is throwing the ball. Also, the defense is going to have to step up their passing coverage, ranking near the bottom of the league in pass defense for the last two years. All in all, this team is going to be adjusting its lineup for the better (or at least they hope), and we should be seeing some quality football in Arizona this year. A game in Phoenix will be a slugfest as the Arizona Cardinals fight to climb the stats board.
