Cardinals obviously want Tom Brady to pl

#1
The Arizona Cardinals don't want anyone discounting a potential Week 1 victory because Tom Brady doesn't play, and they are making Steve McNair Jersey it known. whether they would prefer Brady to be on the field for the first week of the season in Arizona, the majority of players and coaches said they want to face the top-tier talent in the league. "I don't want any excuses," offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Harold Goodwin said. "The level we're at right now as an organization, as a team -- because we think we're one of the best teams in the National Football League -- hey, when we're playing another team we want them to be at Racey McMath Jersey full capacity, too. "Down the road, I don't want to hear 'coulda, woulda, shoulda,' because they're mi sing a guy. Obviously, I would like Tom to play." Bruce Arians was out of town for a funeral but you have to think he would echo the same sentiment. A good number of his players, particularly on the defensive side, certainly did."I wouldn't be a competitor if I said 'not,'" Deone Bucannon said. "I'm a competitor and he's one of the best to ever do it. It would be awesome to play against Jayon Brown Jersey him."I want them at their best because we're definitely going to be at our best."But not everyone is pounding the table to get Tom back on the field before Week 1. Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald would be happy to see Brady ... in Week 2. "C'mon, man, I think that's a pretty easy question to answer," he said. "I love Tom, that's my man. But if he doesn't play, I wouldn't shed any tears. I'd love to see him back the Mekhi Sargent Jersey next week, though."It's a tough call for competitors: If you believe you're the best team in the league (and everyone should), you want to play the best players in the league. You want to beat Ryan Tannehill Jersey the Patriots at full strength.But it's also hard to win games in the . Getting a shot to play the Pats without having to face one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history would be a huge plus in helping the Cardinals pick up a win.
