Always-quotable Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians delivered his usual barrage of memorable quotes Tuesday. Here are five of his best.
On Monday's practice: "It probably was our worst practice yesterday. Mental errors, penalties were all up. Really did not answer the challenge of coming off a day off very well. Disappointed in the leadership of the team because that's their job."
On how the team typically responds after a poor practice: "Usually really well, but you don't get that one back. That's the big problem."
On why the team didn't practice well: It's that time where they get a little bored. You talk to them about it but it'll still hit you right in the face when you put the sheet up there and there's 18 penalties and 45 mental errors."
On the performance of third-string quarterback Matt Barkley: "Up and down. He's like a yo-yo."
On a reporter noting tight end Troy Niklas is having his healthiest training camp stint: "Don't you try to jinx him! Yeah, I just said that."
