Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Progressive Insurance.

We are live here in New York City.

It's Monday, August 22nd.

I'm Jamie Eredall.

He's Kyle Brandt.

He is a Super Bowl champion, Jason McCordy.

And that is an NFL network insider, Tom Pelliserro. He is here. What's up, Tom? What's happened? Happy to be here. Let's go. It's time for the lead block. Lead block of the program. Red hot preseason action between the Ravens and Cardinals. So let's go through this. Kyler Murray has all the money in the world. He's never won a playoff game. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Isaiah Likeley experience. Isaiah Likeley is a rookie fourth round pick out of Coastal Carolina, and he is already Rob Grancowski meets Kellyn Winslow. This dude finished with eight catches for 100 yards that touched. Mark Andrews is like, all right. The Mark Andrews broke his neck. Yeah, you got to get out.

We got to put you on the injury list because you're going to take my job.

24 to 17.

The Rams won 22 preseason games in a row, Jason McCordy. Do you care? Yes. They're winning, a winning culture. 22 straight. That's hard to do. He cares. Winning is winning. Winning is winning.

And Kyler with a headset on there.

Yeah.

He was leading the huddle.

So the preseason streak is alive, as Kyle mentioned, and he was enthused about for Ravens without Lamar last night. Or Kyler Murray, for that matter. But once we get to week one, those guys are both out there. That is all said and done. These two teams could be serious contenders. However, they do have some question mark. So which one of these two teams heading into this season, the Ravens or the Cardinals, have more question marks? I'm going to go with the Ravens. There's a lot of injuries going on. They have J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards. Gus is still on P.U.P. J.K. Dobbins is working his way back in. Marcus Peters just came off P.U.P. but he's a guy who still hasn't gotten to that live action. So for me, with this Ravens team, extremely talented, for sure. Lamar Jackson is going to be at the top of his game this year. I truly believe that all the contract talk coming off a few bumps and bruises last year. But this Raven seems, we don't know how healthy they're going to to be to start the season. So we don't know when they're going to catch their stride, when they're really going to take off. This Cardinals team, our biggest knock on them is they didn't win in the playoffs, which they were in. His Ravens teams wasn't in the playoffs last year. And on top of that, Hollywood Brown is gone. Sammy Watkins left with some question marks at the receiver position. Can Bateman, can Duvernay? Can they step up and be the guys on the outside? So I like the Baltimore Ravens, but I feel like there are some question marks that need to be answered. There are a few teams that had really weird off seasons in 2022. The Cardinals might be the number one weird off season in 2022. Let's bring up just the list of different things. It went on good and bad with the Arizona Cardinals through the course of the off season. They signed Steve Kime, Cliff Kingsbury. The contract is sent this is your 2027. We got the gang together for the long haul. We'll skip ahead here. James Connor, Zach Hertz, they're back, but Chandler Jones leaves for the Raiders. Chase Edmonds goes to the Dolphins. Christian Kirk gets bonkers money from the Jaguars. Jordan Hicks has gone as well. DeAndre Hopkins gets suspended for the first six games. They acquire Marquise Brown, who's got the relationship with Kyle Murray. We signed Kyle Murray. The band is really together now. Wait a second. There's this clause.

And now is he studying what happens? We have to take the claws out.

Kyler's not practicing. He's got COVID. He's got a risk. Now he's back. He's calling place.

What is happening in Arizona? I still want to see how is the receiver group going to come together?
