The Washington Redskins are looking to find a new offensive play style with a new quarterback under center as they head into Arizona to take on the Cardinals.

The Arizona Cardinals are one of the most experienced on the offensive side of the ball as they look to showcase what a true offense looks to Washington Sunday.
Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins had to say goodbye to their quarterback for the past years as Kirk Cousins took a deal else where and is now a member of the Minnesota Vikings. The Redskins were also in play for quarterback Case Keenum who is now a member of the Denver Broncos, but there best bet is who they ended up with and that is quarterback Alex Smith.
One of the biggest differences in the new Washington offense will be the less amount of turnovers with the departure of Cousins. Smith will be doing a lot of handing the ball of to running back Adrian Peterson as the loss of rookie sensation Derrice Guice was a huge blow. However two veterans in the backfield will help the Redskins.

Alex Smith is a very safe passer who will be looking for wide receivers Josh Doctson, Paul Richardson and most likely his favorite target Jordan Reed who basically is a receiver on the team.
In this game, I do worry about the run defense for Washington as they will be going up against a team who will test their limits. Even though they have some of the best linebackers of Preston Smith, Zach Brown and Ryan Kerrigan they simple will not be able to stop David Johnson all game long.
Which will also open up the passing game for Arizona.
Arizona Cardinals
The biggest welcome party for the Arizona Cardinals is in the form of running back David Johnson who is returning from an ACL injury. Just like the Washington Redskins, the Cardinals also did some quarterback shopping as they brought in a veteran and their hopeful future.
The Cardinals welcomed in quarterback Sam Bradford and UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen who will be learning from the sidelines. Bradford has been dealt with injuries ever since his first round pick from the St. Louis Rams, but he is still one of the best pocket passers in the league if he is not injured.

The Cardinals also welcomed back wide out Larry Fitzgerald who could be nearing his last year in the NFL, but Arizona does have Christian Kirk who will be able to stretch the field and take any defender along with him. Expect that to play a huge role in this game.
Arizona also has one of the best secondaries in the league today as that will be the best matchup to watch. Smith who is not the most pass heavy type of quarterback will need to be able to complete tight window matches.
