If you don't already know, I am a huge Arizona Cardinals Fan! this year I decided to head up to Flagstaff and watch the first practice under new head coach Ken Whisenhunt. My good buddy, Dale Hahne, his twin 3 year boys, Nicholas and Andrew, and I headed up north for Flagstaff early Sunday.
What a beautiful day ranging form 60 degrees to 80 degrees depending on if you were in the sun. The sund was not out much, threatening rain most of the day. We had several sprinkles but no real rain. We could see off in the distance the lightning and rain, but it stayed away from practice. The weather was a nice change and a very relaxing get away.
I have not been to a Arizona Cardinals training camp for at least 5 years. This one struck me as much more organized than I remembered. Football season is on us and we can only hope the Arizona Cardinals pay us back for years of loyal misery.
The team looked great! Both Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner were hitting their targets. The team ran many different drills and it was fun to watch. The receivers went against the d-backs (not the Diamondbacks, but defensive backs) for most of the day. It as especially exciting when either Anquan Boldin or Larry Fitzgerald, caught the ball. The showed in each touch their superstar status. The fans cheered several times. I look forward to a season full on Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald connections for TOUCH DOWNS!
The EDGE, Edgerrin James, looked good too. He hit some holes and always took it down the field for the end zone. Both Marcel Shipp and J.J. Arrington were busy. It looks like the Cardinals will be using both players in the back field to confuse defenses.
At the end of practice we met our 2nd round draft pick, Alan Branch. He was over signing autographs with the crowd. He is a very cordial young man for his mammoth size! He said he cut 45 pounds prior to camp, wow he must have been huge.
There was an obstacle course for the kids and other play events. Dale took both Andrew and Nicholas through all the events. They had a blast. They were so cute running around with their mini football and Nicki kept throwing that football all around. Andrew was so funny he kept referring to the team as Baseball instead of Football. They had so much fun and I enjoyed watching them play.
There were about 1,000 fans watching practice although many cut out early fearing rain and lightning. There was plenty of room to double the amount of people watching. I highly suggest a great little family get away. Cruz up to Flagstaff and watch YOUR ARIZONA CARDINALS practice.
