Cardinals

Cardinals veterans LB Zaven Collins and C Hjalte Froholdt spoke about the message that HC Mike LaFleur‘s no-nonsense approach has brought to the team as they prepare for voluntary offseason workouts.

“Yeah, he’s clear and correct and very to the point on how he wants things done and what he expects from us in the building, what he allows and what he doesn’t allow,” Collins said on Tuesday, via the Arizona Republic. “You can kind of tell he’s like a no B.S. guy. He’s going to tell you what he wants, how he thinks and just be up front.”

“Win football games,” Collins said when asked about LaFleur’s message to the team. “Yeah, very clear. That’s something we want to do this year for sure — for the Valley, for this organization, for all the guys that come into work every single day.”

“I think the whole point is that everything is a big deal,” Froholdt added. “How about we just figure out how we get in the freaking huddle and we are all on the same page, because if the first group isn’t on the same page, well then the rest of the people can’t follow along. I think that’s a big deal. The whole goal is to come here to win the Super Bowl. But in order to get there, we’ve got to set the tone first and know what the little things are.”
