Will young Cardinals follow the leaders?

The Cardinals have veterans who are willing to lead, but do they have young players willing to be led?

Coach Bruce Arians raised that question on Monday, implying it’s one reason the team has lost two of its first three games.

Without providing names of the offenders, Arians addressed the issue again on Wednesday.

“We’ve got young followers that ain’t following,” Arians said. “We’ve got good leaders: Carson (Palmer), Larry (Fitzgerald), all those guys. Do what they do. You can’t play like them, but you can prepare like them. You can take care of your body like them.
