Week 1 is finally here. The Washington Commanders host the Arizona Cardinals from FedEx Field in the first game of the Josh Harris era.
The Cardinals look nothing like the team Washington faced in Week 1 of the 2020 season. Kyler Murray is still Arizona’s quarterback but remains on the sideline as he rehabs from knee surgery. Arizona has a new head coach in former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon.
It’s been a strange few weeks for the Cardinals, who cut presumed starting quarterback Colt McCoy in training camp and traded for Joshua Dobbs. Now it appears Dobbs will start under center for Arizona.
We’ve discussed this game from a Commanders’ perspective, but we wanted to learn more about the Cardinals. Therefore, we turned to Cards Wire managing editor Jess Root, who gave us some excellent insight into the Arizona Cardinals.
