DirectTV NFL Sunday Ticket for Cardinals Fans
It’s not a sin to root for the Arizona Cardinals in 2008 (even if you live in Tampa Bay)—and one has to give them some credit for at least improving their 5-11 record in 2006. Last year they finished the season 8-8. What do you know; Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt may be doing something right. Whisenhunt started coaching in 2007 and turned the team around working with relatively little to start with. The team’s offense improved, and that’s no surprise since Whisenhunt is known for his successful offensive strategies that he pioneered over at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
One question that remained for the 2008 season would be the NFL Draft. The team had plenty of holes to replace, including a top caliber athlete in positions of offensive tackle, linebacker and cornerback. Even before Whisenhunt jumped aboard this sinking ship, only to redirect it on course, the team had historically been very adept at choosing their draft picks over the last four years. The NFL Network along offered the most complete coverage of the draft in amazing DirectTV HD. The young station has been a warehouse of knowledge and adds to the extensive benefits DirectTV gives to the football community.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, a cornerback from Tennessee State, received a good reception from fans and media critics. Experts speculate that his grand performance at the Senior Bowl probably moved him up a few notches on the draft—even if he remains relatively untested. Calais Campbell was also questioned, as he doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the team’s defensive mindset. Few would go so far as to say that Arizona chose poorly; these are promising young athletes. The consensus is merely that they will have to be worked with at a faster pace than usual if Arizona is going to see a substantial change. The lack of big playmakers in the draft is still a concern, especially since Arizona is still going through a difficult growing pain stage.
What do you think? Will Whisenhunt bring the team together for a more competitive season or is the rebuilding process nowhere near started? All of these questions and more will be answered by DirectTV. Don’t look for much answers coming from network television or cable, as these sources usually cut off the games that aren’t broadcast in Arizona. However, with DirectTV NFL Sunday Ticket you can watch over 200 games a year. NFL Sunday Ticket lets you see highlights on demand and see real time stats on NFL players without having to change the channel of game coverage!
