| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | I am your host and resident panelist, as always Ryan Schlipp. |
| 0:16.6 | Check us out online, packernet.com. |
| 0:18.9 | Find me on Twitter pack underscore datab. |
| 0:22.6 | So today we are going to, again, take a look at the Arizona Cardinals, |
| 0:27.9 | this time more as a team and less so as looking at the individual rosters, |
| 0:33.0 | although there are some reports, injury reports, and whatnot that we have to take into account, so we'll do that. |
| 0:40.5 | There is some stuff that I'd like to talk about, but I think that this is going to take some time, so let's not. |
| 0:49.4 | All right. |

| 1:33.7 | 16th in interceptions, 28th in net yards per attempt, just 5.2 yards. For rushing, they're 22nd |
| 1:42.5 | in attempts, but 17th in yards, 16th in touchdowns, 13th in yards per attempt at 4.6. |
| 1:48.8 | They also rank relatively high in average time per drive at 3 minutes, 8 seconds, and plays per drive, they're 8th. |
