You can watch the whole preview on YouTube and in the embedded video below, or listen to the full NFC West preview wherever you get your podcasts.Robert Mays on what about the Cardinals most excites him: I am very excited about the skill position talent. I am even more excited about the skill position talent filtered through the ideas of this offense, because if we’re going to figure out what that next gear potentially looks like for Marvin Harrison, this offense, to me, is a way to potentially realize some of that. If you think about the way the Rams play and the way that the Cardinals play, you could not find two offenses that are more different in the ways that they approach some of this stuff.The Cardinals were in spread formations on 28 percent of their snaps last year, per Next Gen. That was the third-highest rate in the league. The Rams were in spread looks on 7.3 percent of their snaps last year. That was the second-lowest rate in the league. The Cardinals were using motion at the snap on 20.6 percent of their snaps last season. That was the lowest rate in the NFL. The Rams were at 54.7 percent, which was the third-highest rate in the league. The Rams threw 133 passes last year to a receiver who was in motion at the snap. No other team in the league had more than 95. The Cardinals did it 18 times.
