Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt knows when his players can practice when they head to Flagstaff for training and even knows exactly who his players will be.
After last's season's lockout, Whisenhunt admits that training camp was rushed and adjustments were made on the fly. This year he's singing a different tune.
"We know a lot more about a good portion of our players than we did a year ago," Whisenhunt said. "We also know what is in front of us. We don't have that big air of uncertainty. We didn't even know what the guidelines were for practice last year because they were changing daily. The young players, they didn't know the system.
"We feel like we have a larger group of players, offensively and defensively, that have operated in the system. There isn't the daily unknown."
Earlier today, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald added how amped he was to join his team. His twitter account read:
