The Arizona Cardinals had themselves a nice night with a 20-15 victory over the New Orleans Saints

Playing starting quarterback Sam Bradford more and allowing rookie quarterback Josh Rosen with some of the first unit turned out to be a good move on Friday night in the Arizona Cardinals win over the New Orleans Saints.

The Cardinals had some really good performances on both sides of the ball on Friday night. There are things to still work on but that’s what these preseason games are for.

As guys play with each other more, they will have a better feel for the flow.  I would expect to see fewer penalties at some point and see more cohesion among the players.

That said there were some guys that stood out against the Saints.  These five players all were big contributors to the win and did nothing but help themselves in terms of status for the regular season.

It is nice to see we are talking about some different players this week as opposed to last week.  That means more players are getting on board.

Yes, they can still only keep 53 of them but now some decisions could be harder once the regular season gets closer and players have to be cut.  At least four of these guys listed here are expected to be a huge part of the 53-man regular season roster however.
