For the first time on quite some time, toughness has arrived inside the Cardinals’ building.
Toughness arrived when J.J. Watt arrived and when he made one of his first orders of business to stand in awe and reverence in front of Pat Tillman’s locker.
Toughness arrived when Rodney Hudson arrived. Football teams that are tough up the middle are unlikely to fold when the going gets rough.
During the Cardinals’ exciting 19-16 win over the Cowboys at home in pre-season game one. toughness arrived on the very first defensive snap when rookie ILB Zaven Collins stormed his gap and delivered, in an impressively athletic fashion, a tempo-setting tackle for loss.
