Throughout last year's training camp and then the regular season, there stood a hurdle in the middle of the Cardinals' locker room. It was meant to be symbolic of what the team, together, could overcome. Instead, with each passing week and with each additional loss, the hurdle felt more literal of the 3-13 Cardinals than it felt metaphorical.
In each locker was a brick, as the team was meant to create a foundation to win. Instead, the 2018 Cardinals crumbled.
A new season is here, and gone are the hurdle and the bricks. Kliff Kingsbury doesn't seem to be one for platitudes.
