Happy Tuesday one and all.

As the Arizona Cardinals camp continues to traverse along, we started with pads yesterday and followed up with some good stuff today.

While there are only two plays I really wanted to highlight, it looks like this is a nice microcosm of the leap we are seeing of second year players. Now, can they continue the ascension through camp and into the season?
