Hopes are high for newcomer Eric Deveaux at RB. The defense brings back eight starters. WR could be a weakness with the graduation of three standout players. With a new defensive coordinator, a top notch QB, a RB that should get the job done, and a solid offensive line, coach Jeff Walker thinks the Cardinals will have their best team in four decades.
