Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons
Last season, the Cardinals were perhaps the league's best run-stopping unit, frequently ranking first or near first in Defensive Adjusted Line Yards. That fell off at the end of the season as injuries took their toll, but the Cardinals' hybrid fronts are very effective in stuffing the run. However, no team was more inclined to give up open field yards (Yardage gained by running backs at least 10 yards past the line of scrimmage, divided by total running back carries). Last season, the Falcons ranked 10th in Offensive Adjusted Line Yards and open field yards, which indicates that if Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood can get to the second level, Arizona will have trouble dealing with them.
I know Darnell woke up today feeling Great as did many other CARDINALS tweeting early.Fitz is ready to Roll Today so come on DA.
