The Arizona Cardinals are likely going to run the ball a lot more in 2010
With Matt Leinart the likely QB for the 2010 season look for the Cardinals to run the ball more in 2010. Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower are a pretty good combo at RB so it just makes sense for the Cardinals to run a more balanced offense in 2010. Wells carried the ball 176 times for 793 yards (4.5 ypc) with 7 TD runs last season. He has some work to do as a receiver out of the backfield as he only caught 12 passes last season but they went for 143 yards (11.9 avg) so the potential is there for improvement. Tim Hightower carried the ball 143 times for 598 yards (4.2 ypc) with 8 TD runs last season. He is a good receiver out of the backfield too as he caught 63 passes for 428 yards (6.8 avg) last season. The best way to protect a unproven QB is with the running game and I’m quite certain that the Cardinals will average over 100 yards rushing per game in 2010.
