Don’t look now, but there’s a quiet confidence creeping through the Cardinals locker room.
The guys are eager to get after it. The attitude isn’t a cautious “wait and see.” It’s a calculated “just wait, you’ll see.”
It shouldn’t feel like this at the start of training camp at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
Not after going 3-13 last year. Not with a rookie head coach who somehow got fired into a promotion. Not with a rookie quarterback who needs a step stool to get his playbook off the top shelf.
Not for a franchise that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2015.
