Budda Baker discusses defensive challenges posed by Justin Herbert and Chargers

Cardinals safety Budda Baker identified Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert as a primary defensive concern ahead of the Week 1 game on September 13. Baker cited the quarterback's arm strength and his ability to throw from various positions on the field as key factors for the Cardinals defense to monitor. The Chargers are scheduled to host the Cardinals in their season opener with Los Angeles currently favored by 10.5 points. The matchup will be the first opportunity to see the Chargers' offense under the direction of Mike McDaniel. Both teams are preparing for the opening week as the Chargers aim to start their season with a win at home. The Cardinals will rely on experienced defensive players like Baker to counter the expected high-powered offensive scheme implemented by the coaching staff in Los Angeles.
