Kyler Healthy And Happy
It's why a lot of people are bullish on the Cardinals this season. Kyler Murray is healthy. He had a full offseason to concentrate on football and football only. Yes, there's daily maintenance on the knee, but for the most part Murray has been able to focus on the game, be it scheme or playcalling. There's also been quite a lot of work done with his teammates, both on and off the field. Chemistry is important. And by the way, those teammates have consistently remarked how "locked in" Murray is. What does that look like on the field? Everyone begins to find out on Sunday.

The Debut Of MHJ
The wait is finally over to see wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. suit up (not counting his three preseason snaps). The Cardinals needed a true No. 1 receiver and despite the lack of game reps, it's safe to say they've found it in the rookie. He has the size, speed and route running to make life difficult for opposing defenses. It's a win-win situation for Arizona: throw it Harrison's way for an all-but-guaranteed catch or allow his presence to open up one of the plethora of other weapons. Everyone is going to benefit from Harrison's presence alone. MHJ isn't like most rookies. Quarterback Kyler Murray said so himself. Considering they spent significant time together away from the facility this offseason, it's very likely the two will connect early and often in the season opener.

New Cornerbacks, A Rookie Task
Similar to the Cardinals, one of the Bills' questions entering 2024 surrounded the wide receiver room. Similar to the Cardinals, the Bills used their first selection in the draft on a pass catcher. Keon Coleman, the big 6-foot-4 target, was the first pick of the second round. What does his release look like? How does Coleman move off the line of scrimmage? While one of the defense's main goals is to limit play extension from Josh Allen, locking down their new weapon is a priority. Fortunately for the Cardinals, cornerback Max Melton has experience lining up against his fellow second-rounder when Coleman was in the Big Ten. "When you don't have a lot of film on somebody, you have to revert to college film," Melton said. "I looked at that a bit, but I also went against him, so I know what he brings to the table as well."
