Five things I noticed about the Cardinals in the first half of Sunday night's game against the Cowboys:
Defense impresses
The defense was a disappointment last week against the Saints, but it was much better against the Cowboys. Sure, it helped that Dallas didn’t play many of its starters, but at least the Cardinals did what they were supposed to do.
Coordinator Al Holcomb called several blitzes early and gave us a preview of how he’s going to use linebackers Josh Bynes and Deone Bucannon. Both played for the first time this preseason and regularly blitzed on Sunday.
