As a NFL fan I'm excited to see how Arians attacks the Seahawks defense. I have so much respect for the man, my love of the NFL is trumping my blind homerism. However he attacks the defense it may well be something unseen before.
The Cardinals run game vs the new look Seahawks defensive line is a matchup that may end up being huge. While the Cardinals run game hasn't been good, Arians commitment to it is unwavering. We'll see if the Seahawks shored up any issues form last week.
Arians vs Earl...will they try to go deep on Earl too? I bet you they will. As a side to that Lane vs Brown. I wonder if anyone has tried to rough up Brown yet this year? I'd be curious on the results if the Hawks let Lane do that.
Wilson vs Bowles (sp?) will be a good match up. I always thought Percy was brought in to keep opposing defenses from doing exactly what AZ likes to do; blitz inside gaps to cloud Wilson's vision and get physical with the Seahawks twinkish receivers. So, Wilson and Bevell are going to have to come up with something to make the Cardinals pay for their blitzing. Lynch is not a back who can make teams pay for run-blitzing, but Michael could be. So could clever ways to get Richardson involved.
What you got as an intriguing matchup?
