Where do Cardinals go after 2-2 start to 2025 season?

How do Cardinals bounce back from 2-2 start?

Gannon addressed the reason for Arizona’s slow start by pointing out that the offense hasn’t been consistent enough. Despite some flashes, the third-year Cardinals coach hasn’t seen a full four-quarters performance from his offensive unit. The personnel is there for Gannon and his team to win games, Kyler Murray, Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr. and more.

Fans are ready to blame offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, but Gannon has trust in his coach. After the San Francisco 49ers lost, Gannon stated that Petzing called his best offensive games as a member of the organization.

The problem for the offense is not stacking good possessions early. Murray has noticed it has taken the offense too long to load into the game and how they need to be ready from the jump. Being 2-2 could be the spark the unit needs to play with some urgency down the stretch.

Another aspect holding the team back is the injuries, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Arizona’s defense has been sensational to begin the season, but injuries have still been a major problem. The Cardinals top two draft picks have been sidelined the past two weeks in Walter Nolen and Will Johnson.

Nolen was on the PUP list and was scheduled to miss the first four weeks. The 16th overall pick could make his debut as early as next Sunday vs. the Tennessee Titans. The hope is that he is joined by fellow rookie sensation Johnson, who has arguably been the team’s best cornerback.

The long week of rest will surely help the roster get situated offensively and healthy. Gannon’s cool demeanor and confidence that Arizona will figure it out should calm the nerves of some fans ahead of the team’s .500 start.
