Takeaways from
#AZCardinals HC Mike LaFleur ahead of Sunday's press conference:
- Walter Nolen III is good. Joey Blount will be held out of practice today.
-"I haven't been on a good team that hasn't had a good defensive line."
-Says he will hold off on saying who will play on Thursday because he wants guys to focus on one practice at a time. Believes early game will be an advantage. In terms of playtime, "it'll never be my plan" and says it will be a collective effort.
- Says team will be practicing Wednesday on travel day before Thursday's game.
- Competition between Denzel Burke and Max Melton has been good, both are attacking one play at a time. "Guys thrive on competition." Says multiple guys can earn that role
- When asked what this team does well: "I think they come to work. They're focused on day-to-day" enjoys urgency and how they approach every day.- "It'd say progress but no timeline right now" on PUP guys (Tip Reiman , Josh Sweat, Garrett Williams). Feels 'Really Good' about Williams possibly being ready for regular season Week 1.
- On Sweat "continuing build"
