Apparently the best season for Neil Rackers, who plays in the placekicker position for the Arizona Cardinals, was during 2005 when he connected on 40 of 42 field goals placing a new NFL record. Rackers received a trip to Hawaii for the 2005 Pro Bowl as his price. With this record he surpassed the previous one placed by Olindo Mare in 1999, a 39 mark.

Despite the Cardinals didn't have a good season Rackers himself had a great one. Cardinals lost 5 games by seven points or less and missed the playoffs. After this resting stage Rackers had to get back to the training camp and get ready for this year's season which he is expecting to be more exciting than last year's.

Another fact that is good to mention regarding the Big Red's preps is the acquisition of the running back Edgerrin James and the inauguration of the new Cardinals Stadium.

The football player has been working very hard to get the best of this coming season. Actually one of his goals is to surpass the 85%.

The opening game for the next Cardinals 2006 preseason will take place on August 12, at the brand new Stadium, where Rackers and the Big Red team will show their fans how prepared they are to achieve the Super Bowl title.
