The Arizona Cardinals are beginning over. General supervisor Steve Keim stepped down and was changed by Monti Ossenfort, and head coach Kliff Kingsbury was fired and changed by previous Philadelphia Eagles protective planner Jonathan Gannon. The 2023 season will feel really various, particularly thinking about quarterback Kyler Murray might miss out on a long time after tearing his ACL in Week 14.

According to Caesars Sportsbook, the Cardinals are incorporated having the longest chances to win Super Bowl LVIII (+20000) and have actually the most affordable noted Over/Under win overall (5.0). Many think Arizona will be among the worst groups in the NFL this upcoming season. But to Cardinals running back James Conner, that’s definitely great. In reality, it delights him. 

“Nobody believes in us, but that’s OK,” Conner stated, by means of The Athletic. “That’s the exciting part. To prove people wrong.”

The Cardinals have actually missed out on the playoffs in 6 out of the last 7 seasons. It appeared they turned the corner in 2021 after beginning the year 7-0, however Arizona has actually gone 8-19 ever since. The Cards’ 4-13 record in 2022 marked the worst by a playoff group from the previous season considering that the 2017 New York Giants, and those 13 losses connected for the most in franchise history. 

Work requires to be done on both sides of the ball, however the Cardinals generated Gannon with the defense in mind. Arizona enabled 26.4 points per video game in 2022 (No. 31 in the NFL), and 348.9 overall lawns per video game (No. 21 in the NFL). The offense was very little better, as the Cardinals balanced 20.0 points per video game, which ranked No. 21 in the NFL. 

The Cardinals might seem reconstructing, however Conner does not see it that method.
