Jalen Thompson, the safety for the Arizona Cardinals, has expressed his belief that the team will transition from an offensive-focused approach to a defensive-led strategy by 2025. This shift comes after notable offseason acquisitions aimed at bolstering the defensive line and secondary. With the signing of players like Josh Sweat and Calais Campbell and the return of key defensive personnel from injury, Thompson is optimistic about the potential for a more formidable defense.

The Cardinals have faced challenges in close games recently, losing several by a single score, which Thompson believes could have been different with a stronger defensive performance. The defense's ability to make crucial stops will be essential for the team's success in the upcoming season and beyond.
