from jimmy garropolo's back-up.
dan hausle, 7 news.
>>> new england is going up against a solid arizona team.
>> trey daerr continuing our team coverage now down at
gillette. give us a closer look at this
mash-up, trey.
>> well, kim, ryan, jimmy
garropolo going to be in for a
very big test in week number 1.
the cardinals pass rush one of
the best in the league.
and jimmy's role may go beyond
that as some are expecting and
this thing could turn into a
track meet, especially if the
patriots' defense cannot keep a
very explosive cardinals offense
in check. >> arizona does a good job of
out there and putting them in
situations to make plays and
they upset a lot of them.
>> reporter: the patriots defense is versatile enough to
be one of the best units in the
belichick era and will get an
indication just how good it is
against one of the premier
offenses in the nfl.
>> a ton of weapons, and bruce
aarons i think does a great job
of calling the plays.
watching defenses know what he
wants to...
