Washington's defense will be even better with Kendall Fuller and Thomas Davis coming back

From the article...

Takeaways:
The Cardinals present a unique challenge for the Burgundy and Gold. Although the Washington defensive front was menacing against the Eagles, they may be neutralized by one of the more dynamic offenses in the league. Coach Kingsbury uses shotgun as a base-set and Murray rarely lines up under center. Empty backfields and multiple receiver sets are the norm. Arizona also uses running backs as integral parts of the passing game.
Look for Murray to release the ball quickly and play the role of point guard in Arizona's offense. Wide receiver screens and running back dump-offs were used frequently against the 49ers and negated their vaunted pass rush. Murray was only sacked twice, and hit five times. Well off of his league-high 48 sacks last season.
In terms of their defense, Arizona is susceptible to giving up plays in the middle of the field, as seen from George Kittle's production last week and a 76-yard catch from 49er RB Raheem Mostert. They also gave up large gains on the ground.
The game will ultimately come down to whether Washington can contain Murray and limit his scrambling time in the backfield.

That is great. I have watched a number of people say over that last couple of years that Kerrigan isn't as good as this guy or that guy and he is getting old and the team should trade him. Our MO for years now is to get rid of the guys the team should keep and keep the ones we shouldn't.

This might be Ryan's last year and although he had an excellent game in game 1 we will have to wait and see how the rest of the year plays out. If he is productive for the entire year and is willing to take a pay cut then I think there is a chance they will bring him back.

He has been one helluva a player on mostly bad teams for a long time.

Maybe its Fuller we use as a spy on Murray this week with one less LB or Jimmy?

DraftKings Line: Arizona -6.5http://www.draftkings.com/

The Washington Football Team pulled off a stunning comeback with 27 unanswered points against the Philadelphia Eagles, but that apparently wasn't convincing enough for the majority of our experts to back the WFT with 6.5 points on its side Sunday against the much-buzzed-about Arizona Cardinals.

"Washington won't have the same advantage it had against the Eagles when it faces the Cardinals," Sobleski said. "First, the Cardinals offensive line isn't in tatters. Second, Kyler Murray is far more mobile and dynamic working in space compared to Carson Wentz. As such, the Cards will neutralize Washington's impressive front, and Arizona is further along in the other phases of the game."

The vibe surrounding Washington might understandably cause you to shy away from laying nearly a touchdown, but it should indeed be more difficult for that defensive front to break through as frequently as it did when it sacked Wentz eight times.

And while the Dwayne Haskins Jr.-led Washington offense has flashed in each of his last three starts, the underrated Arizona defense allowed only 18 first downs and two third-down conversions while holding the defending NFC champions to 20 points in Week 1.

In almost every way, this will be an entirely different challenge for the Washington Football Team.



Predictions
Davenport: Arizona
Gagnon: Arizona
Kahler: Arizona
Miller: Arizona
Sobleski: Arizona
Tesfatsion: Washington
Consensus: Arizona -6.5http://www.draftkings.com/

Score Prediction: Cardinals 23, Washington 14

1. 49er's offense is not that good
2. Washington's Dline is way better then the 49er's and that's a fact not an opinion
