These five Arizona Cardinals made good impressions on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Chargers

The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night 24-17.  That much we know.  Who played well and stood out?  Despite the low offensive totals and the mistakes made Saturday night, there was still plenty to leave happy about.

The Cardinals have quite a mix of veteran leadership and young guys trying to make this team.  We know how well David Johnson ran the ball.  We know how well the first string offensive line did.

We still don’t know much about what Sam Bradford will bring.  He wasn’t given but one chance to throw the ball.

There are a number of players who made some good plays against the Chargers.  They still have to prove more but that’s why they play the preseason games.

Preseason is a necessary evil for those that are fighting for jobs.  As much as we fear injury, these guys have to still lay it all out to make the team.

These five players impressed on Saturday night.  Now they have to go out and do it again Friday against the New Orleans Saints.  It is all about consistency.
