Q4.The Broncos have the 31st ranked pass defense. How do you guys plan on slowing down the Cardinals weapons?
AD: If Carson Palmer is able to go Sunday (which reports say he will), one thing Denver will need to do is stop the run from the start. We all know Carson Palmer can be pretty darn good at times, but if you take away the run, it makes it easier on the defense to stop the pass – if that makes any sense. Denver has two, Pro-Bowl caliber cornerbacks in Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr., but the linebacking core has to step up and make plays in zone situations.
Q5. What is your prediction for the final score of the game and why?
AD: This is tough, real tough. I love what I’m seeing out of the Arizona Cardinals thus far and believe that they will be contending with Seattle for the NFC West Championship, but I believe Denver will come away with this one at home by three points.
Denver 27, Arizona 24.
