Preseason week 1 from around the NFL

[Clayton]

Arizona is going to be completely different from what you faced last year. The new QB and RB are obvious, but they have a revamped O-line and most importantly a new coaching staff and completely new offense. Bruce Arians offense is much different that what Palmer played in at Oakland so you can't even look at recent tape to get a solid read on him. Arians offense is more similar to what he played in Cincy, where he was a multi-year pro-bowler. In addition, The Cardinals only showed about 3 formations in their first preseason game which is less than half of what they will run in the regular season. I'm not making any predictions about the Cards just giving you some hometown insight.

The revamped oline is kind of a must. If the Rams can get sacks and turnovers on the Arizona Cardinals, itll look like last year. If Zona's oline holds then its a game and it comes down to whether or not the Ram's offense/special teams have improved.
