3. You’ll get a glimpse of Mr. Butt Fumble himself Mark Sanchez.  Well, you might also see Colin Kaepernick too but as of right now, who knows?

No, the game itself, the preseason finale, will not be one of the five most exciting things you’ll see this preseason.  While it will be fun to go out and see a bunch of local Broncos fans whoop it up at UOP, you aren’t going to see much other than a few guys on both sides fighting for those last spots.

Look on the Broncos side of the ball though.  You are going to see some guys really fighting hard to earn those precious few spots left up for grabs.  It can make for some exciting football.  Not regular season exciting, but entertaining nonetheless.

At this point though for the Cardinals, they likely will already have a good idea of who is and isn’t going to be on the roster.  I would be surprised if this game is a make or break for many trying to make the Cardinals roster.  It will more likely be a showcase for those trying to make another team’s roster.
