Cardinals Player to Watch: Tyrann Mathieu

Honeybadger don’t care. Tyrann Mathieu has been getting rave reviews during training camp and will get a chance to prove his worth on the field today against one of the best quarterbacks in the game.
Packers Player to Watch: Eddie Lacy

Lacy was getting crap for looking a little extra heavy when camp started up, but this is his time to shove it right in the face of everyone else. Will be fun seeing him get the football.
Matchup to Watch: Aaron Rodgers vs Cardinals Secondary

I wish this was the regular season. The Cardinals have some good young players in the secondary and I would love to see how they deal with Rodgers and that Packers passing attack.
