Arizona Cardinals are Following in Detroit Lions Footsteps
06/28/24 • 33 min
Arizona Cardinals have been a perennially losing organization for the majority of their existence. It's been an organization full of dysfunction, indifference from the national media, and, well, a whole lot of losing. The same goes for the Detroit Lions and their history. It hasn't been pretty. There have definitely been a handful of all-world players on both teams: Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Kurt Warner, etc for the Cardinals and Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, and Matthew Stafford for the Lions. While both organizations have been the butt of jokes around the NFL for decades, both seem to be completely changing course. The Detroit Lions are well on their way to being a perennial fixture atop the NFC West with the infusion of Dan Campbell at head coach, Jared Goff at quarterback, and an incredible draft run over the last couple seasons. The Arizona Cardinals, while towards the beginning their rebuild, are behind the Detroit Lions by about a year or two. Are the Arizona Cardinals the next organization to take that leap into perpetual relevancy and throwing away their history of losing? Matt Dery of Locked On Lions joins the show. Let's discuss.

Arizona Cardinals Marvin Harrison Jr May Be 3rd Option on Offense in 2024
Arizona Cardinals have made a massive roster overhaul since the end of the 2022 NFL season. One position that was in the most need of talent infusion was the wide receiver room, which is now filled with a massive talent upgrade. From #4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft Marvin Harrison Jr to veterans Zay Jones and Greg Dorth, the Arizona Cardinals have one of the more deep wide receiver rooms they've had in quite some time. Coupled with star tight end Trey McBride, Kyler Murray will have more weapons than he's ever had since being drafted #1 overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2019 NFL Draft. Having said that, rookie Marvin Harrison Jr may be the third option on offense for the Cardinals in 2024. James Conner should lead the charge with Trey McBride coming in second, leaving MHJ as third option for the offense. A fantastic "problem" for the Cardinals to have, all it shows is a fantastic fit for Marvin Harrison Jr to get used to the speed of the NFL game in an effort to explode onto the scene like most foresee for him in his career. Also, who is to be relied upon in the secondary for the Arizona Cardinals aside from Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson. Plus, what's Drew Petzing's future going to look like if the Cardinals offense continues forward with its positive momentum shown in 2023? Bo Brack of PHNX Cardinals joins the show. Let's discuss.
