Disrespect from National Media Continues

Everybody insists they've seen this movie before.Watching the Arizona Cardinals begin the season with a load of wins isDj vu for fans who watched quarterback Kyler Murray and Co. lead their team to a 5-2 record in 2020 before ultimately mi sing the postseason in dramatic fashion.The Cardinals Fitzgerald Toussaint Jersey , beginning with general manager Steve Keim and head coach Kliff Kingsbury, made changes to the team in the offseason, grabbing veteran leaders such as defensive end J.J. Watt, center Rodney Hudson and receiver A.J. Green. Arizona also took to the NFL Draft and added young, athletic players such as linebacker Zaven Collins and receiver Rondale Moore.Through six weeks of play, the Cardinals are 6-0, standing as the league's sole undefeated team. Road victories in places such as Tenne see, Los Angeles (Rams) and now Cleveland bump Arizona's resume' above anybody else's in the league.At least you would think so.

Between fourth-down defense and fumble recoveries theyre stealing two po se sions per game so far."They Charles Woodson Jersey re the only team in football to have opposing kickers mi s three attempts inside 50 yards, one of two teams to have opposing kickers mi s four PATs, and are top 10 in offensive and defensive red-zone efficiency, typically a volatile stat unle s you have a Derrick Henry on your roster."In many ways, it smells a bit like the 2020 editionalbeit with a better defense. But, mostly, theyre 60, which actually counts even more than their position in some guys power rankings."For what it's worth, the 3-3 Kansas City Chiefs sit at No. 2 in Gramling's power rankings.Of course, this isn't how everyone acro s the country feels. Scour the vast land of football opinions and for the most part, you'll find Arizona listed as the top team.Yet Gramling's case proves the Cardinals haven't quite convinced everybody just yet, for one reason or another. However, Arizona isn't in the busine s of convincing the great people of the world Charles Matthews Jersey wide web of how good they are; they're in the busine s of winning football games.Through six weeks, they've handled busine s better than anybody in the league.
