3) It was rumored that the Cardinals were one of the teams who were in on trying to acquire Kirk Cousins. What is the opinion of Arizona fans on the quarterback and his performance with Minnesota so far?

Probably depends on the week. That’s what I asked the question on Kirk Cousins as well. Certainly during the courtship fans were split on whether they wanted him or not. Many felt he wasn’t worth what he got paid. Then again, they ended up with Bradford, so that’s what happens when you don’t spend the money. The problem is even if the Cardinals were willing to spend the money (which rumors are they weren’t far off what he eventually got), would Cousins have still wanted to come to Arizona? With what he would have had to work with, I doubt it.

4) Who are one player from the Cardinals offense and one from the defense who Minnesota Vikings fans may not be familiar with but should make a huge impact on the game?

On offense, most know what Christian Kirk is doing at receiver, but receiver Chad Williams is one to watch. He’s been very inconsistent but he has also made a couple of nice grabs over the past couple of weeks. Once he figures it out, he could be just as dangerous. On defense, easily it is linebacker Josh Bynes. The guy is killing it and about the best thing they not only have at linebacker right now but on the entire defensive side of the ball.
