Just like his predecessor, Steve Wilks came up with three important words he wants the Cardinals to embrace. For Bruce Arians, those words were trust, loyalty and respect. Wilks’ three philosophical elements aren’t much different and they carry the same weight.
Trust. Accountability. Commitment.
And in case any of his players forget, the first-year head coach had those three words emblazoned on a track and field hurdle that is kept in the middle of the Cardinals’ locker room, protected by four stanchions with velvet rope. It’s an unsubtle way of reminding everyone to work hard together for the common good of the team.
