Jacoby Brissett prepares for Cardinals opener with assistance from Matt Schaub

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett enters the team's Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers looking to master a new offensive system. Despite missing offseason team activities, the veteran signal-caller has relied on quarterback coach Matt Schaub to accelerate his transition into the scheme installed by head coach Mike LaFleur. Schaub, who played for 16 years, has worked with Brissett in extra meetings and walk-through sessions to ensure the quarterback understands the specific terminology and player responsibilities required for the offense. While teammates like Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck spent the entire summer learning the system, the Cardinals coaching staff has accelerated the teaching process for Brissett. The offense is expected to face its first real test during the upcoming regular season opener. Success for the team will depend on how quickly the veteran can lead the unit on the field.
