Preseason Game 1 takeaways, rookie performances, studs and duds


After the Arizona Cardinals’ preseason opener, a 16-14 loss to the New Orleans Saints, Seth Cox and I recorded a new episode of the podcast.

We looked back at the Cardinals’ game against the Saints.

We first look at the quarterback battle to back up Kyler Murray between Desmond Ridder and Clayton Tune. Tune clearly won the game battle, but I am not convinced that the decision has already been mostly made, as in they are competing, but it will take a lot for Tune to surpass him.

We look at the rookies’ performances. Darius Robinson, Xavier Thomes, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson and Xavier Weaver had good performances. Isaiah Adams, Elijah Jones and Tejhaun Palmer had struggles.

We talked about the other studs and duds from the game and looked ahead at the Cardinals’ week against the Indianapolis Colts with joint practices and preseason matchup.
