CARDINALS ANNOUNCE

PRESEASON OPPONENTS

Tempe, AZ – The NFL and the Arizona Cardinals today announced their 2005 preseason opponents.

In weeks one (August 11-15) and four (September 1-2) of the preseason schedule, the Cardinals will host the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos, respectively, in two home games at Sun Devil Stadium.

Preseason weeks two (August 18-22) and three (August 25-29) have the Cardinals on the road to face the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders.

Highlights include former NFC East rival Dallas returning to Arizona, new Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner facing his old coach Dick Vermeil and the Chiefs, Cardinals head coach Dennis Green squaring off against new Raiders and former Vikings receiver Randy Moss, and Denver quarterback Jake Plummer’s first return trip to Sun Devil Stadium.

Specific dates and times for the preseason games have not yet been determined. The regular season schedule will be announced next month.

“Kickoff Weekend” for the NFL’s 2005 regular season is scheduled for September 8-12.

So no El Paso game? I guess moving the regular season game was enough time spent in Mexico.

No games on 'turf!

That's good, but remember that Starks, KVB and Q all injured their knees while playing on grass.

These are all going to very good tests to gauge us by. Dallas and Oakland especially.

 

[WizardOfAz]

Dallas and Denver are nice pre-season draws for SDS.

Unless the Rio grande changed its course I believe that El Paso is in Texas.

You should take a day trip down there some time. The river doesn't mean much.

My wife is a Chiefs fan, and I am a Cards fan. We went to the game at KC in 98, and watched the cards get kicked. We'll be there, I am excited already.

I'd like to see how he's treated by our defense.

I was there too. I might go again. Hopefully a little more competitive game though.
