The most auspicious outcome of the Cardinals’ 2022 pre-season games was the surprisingly physical and, at times, dominant play the team got from the “BIG NASTIES” on both sides of the ball.

Major coaching credit goes to the following members of the coaching and training staff:

  • Matt Burke —- defensive line coach (pictured above)
  • Charlie Bullen —- outside linebackers coach
  • Sean Kugler —-offensive line coach
  • Brian Natkin —- assistant offensive line coach
