OL

This is a very good unit, although the Cards O line is not far behind Saints_medium

DL

Cardinals_05_medium Cardinals D was the only bright spot last week, should harass Brees

LB

ST

Cardinals_05_medium Cardinals one of the best ST units in all of the league, looked good last week too

COACH
