The Arizona Cardinals

he Arizona Cardinals are led by head coach Ken Whisenhunt who has a record of 31-23 in his first 3 NFL season with the Arizona Cardinals. The new Arizona Cardinals jerseys are currently favored at 40/1 betting odds to win Super Bowl XLV.

Below you will find a review of the Arizona Cardinals broken down into three categories: Offense, Defense and Special Teams.

The 2010 Arizona Cardinals offense is led by Kurt Warner at quarterback with Matt Leinhart as his backup. Last NFL season Warner and the Cardinals jerseys scored an average of 23.4 points/game and had 344.4 passing yards/game which sports handicappers are expecting the Cardinals football jerseys to stay on course again this NFL season since they are returning with relatively the same cast, but healthier.

Last season the Arizona Cardinals defense was 15th in the NFL for points against, averaging 20.3 points/game and the Cardinals were 17th in the NFL at stopping their opponents running game, averaging 112.8 rushing yards against per game.

The Arizona Cardinals special teams are ranked 29th in the league for field goals and ranked 9th in Kickoff returns which is an area that needs improving for them in the upcoming NFL season.

Currently the 2010 Arizona Cardinals are favored at 22/1 betting odds to win the NFC conference and they are favored at +250 to win the NFC West Division.

In 2000, no one would have believed Haggans would have lasted this long. A fifth-round pick by the Steelers out of Colorado State, he converted from defensive end to linebacker.

Haggans didn't become a starter until 2004 and missed just seven games over the next four seasons for the Steelers. An unrestricted free agent, he signed a three-year deal with the Cardinals before the 2008 season but missed the Super Bowl run because of a serious foot injury.

He recovered and played in every game in 2009, starting 14. One of the team's more-consistent players, Haggans finished with five sacks despite often coming out of the game in passing situations.

The Cardinals are counting heavily upon him again this season. Their young outside linebackers haven't proven they are ready to start, so Haggans and Joey Porter, a former teammate with the Steelers and Colorado State, need to produce.

Both are 33, retirement age by NFL standards. How they perform will play a large role in the team's quest for a third consecutive NFC West title.

Haggans has survived in the league because of a work ethic few can match. He works out in the summers when many other veterans don't. He runs sprints after almost every practice during the season.

Lott, in his 15th NFL season, won't call Haggans the hardest worker he has had, "but he's in the conversation," Lott said.

Try to schedule an interview with Haggans, and it won't happen before 11 a.m. That's when he wraps up a workout that started at 7:30. And he joins Lott and the rookies on their weekly ascent of Camelback Mountain; no Cardinal has made it up faster than Haggans (26 minutes).
