Perhaps they should not be expected to be that, but they certainly have the talent. McBride and Conner should be just as good. Second-year running back Trey Benson is ready to add more to the running game, giving them potentially a real 1-2 punch. Marvin Harrison Jr. should be better, and that will allow for better production from the other receivers.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, their defense should be significantly better, which will put the offense in much better position to score points.<\/p>\n<p>If the Cardinals are what they believe they can be, they will end up in the top 10 by the end of it all.<\/p>\n<p>Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire&#8217;s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
