32. The Arizona Cardinals showed the Seattle Seahawks Sunday that they can still play some football. Things just didn’t work out for them this year because they had too many injuries. Carson Palmer is still a solid quarterback and Larry Fitzgerald is still and great receiver. <p>And we can’t forget how RB David Johnson has taken over the running game this year. Next year, with a healthy squad, the Cardinals can come back and be a factor in the NFC. The offensive line will be back healthy too so Palmer shouldn’t walk away from that.</p> <p>And of course, they have that defense that will get after opposing QBs with Chandler Jones. S Tyrann Mathieu will also be healthy and they have arguably the NFL’s best cover CB in Patrick Peterson. The Cardinals are also solid against the run, allowing just 3.6 yards per carry.</p> <p>To possibly make that an absolute shutdown defense, the can put another CB on the other side of Peterson. So they do that by picking Sidney Jones, a shutdown corner out of Washington. He will go in and make opposing teams pay for picking on him with INTs right away. </p>. CB. Washington. Sidney Jones. 11. player
