  Thanks to the Rams & Jeremiyah Love, Cardinals Look BETTER After Thursday

  Sep 11, 202630 min

  The Arizona Cardinals may have gotten some unexpected help this week — and it could make them look a LOT better heading into Week 1. The Rams offense looked terrible down under and it makes Mike LaFleur and his new Cardinals offense look better as he might have just been the mind behind some of their success. It gives even more excitement for LaFleur's new system. And then there’s Jeremiyah Love. With Jeremiyah Love available for Week 1, the Cardinals could have a major weapon back when the games actually count. His availability could significantly improve Arizona’s chances in the opener and give LaFleur another dynamic piece to work with. In this episode of Southwest Bias, we break down: Why the Rams offense looking better could actually make Mike LaFleur look betterWhat Thursday revealed about the Cardinals offenseWhy Jeremiyah Love being in line for Week 1 matters so muchHow Love could impact the Cardinals’ chances in the openerWhether Arizona is actually starting to look different heading into the regular seasonWhat we should believe — and what we shouldn’t — after Thursday Are the Arizona Cardinals quietly in a better position heading into Week 1 than we thought? #ArizonaCardinals #Cardinals #MikeLaFleur #JeremiyahLove #NFL #CardinalsFootball #SouthwestBias 0:00 Intro 2:00 Thursday Night Football 5:00 Matchup Battle 17:30 Bo joins from Cardinals practice JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4 An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports MERCH https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/phnx-locker ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix PHNX Events: Get your tickets to PHNX events and takeovers here: https://gophnx.com/events/ ALLCITY — including us here at PHNX — is teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America for an exciting three-year partnership.
