When an NFL coach puts a player in his doghouse, it's not unusual for the player to respond by tinkling on the carpet. Hey, there's nothing like a little rebelling when you're already in trouble, right?
But that doesn't happen here. Not with the Cardinals. Not under coach Bruce Arians.
"He doesn't doghouse you. He believes in you," outside linebacker Sam Acho said. "A lot of times when you make a mistake, you'll see a coach just keep ragging on you. believes in you. He's a great motivator, and he believes in his players."

Arians got this team to believe replica christian louboutin in itself when no one else would. A year after guiding the Cardinals to a 10 6 record in his first season as an NFL head coach, he has them at 11 3 and in position to win the NFC West and the No.1 playoff seed in the NFC if they can beat the Seahawks on Sunday night in Glendale.
Whether or not they win this game, Arians is the hands down favorite to capture his second Coach of the Year award in the three seasons. He won it as an interim coach for the Colts two years ago, and his players believe he should have won it again last season.
His record speaks for itself, but so does his sense of style and the way he protects, encourages and motivates his players.
Not many coaches can rock the "Gatsby" cap look with black framed glasses and knee high compression socks and still come off as both credible and cool. Except for this guy, the man who waited his whole life to be a head coach.
"There's only one person that does it like that, and it's him," rookie quarterback Logan Thomas said. "You gotta love him."

Oh, they do. Like when he revealed that all three of his quarterbacks on the active roster might have a chance louboutin replica to see some action against Seattle. Arians reiterated Friday that third stringer Ryan Lindley will start but said the injured Drew Stanton might be able to play in relief if needed and that Thomas has looked great in practice running the package of plays that have been designed just for him.
"He does such a great job keeping everybody bound together as one," left tackle Jared Veldheer said. "Having that 'Next man up' mentality really stems from Coach Arians, and he really turned it into a fact, not just a saying. Whenever he says something, it's always backed up. It's louboutin shoes replica not fluff. It's always real. Guys respect that, they gravitate towards it, and I think that's one of the big reasons why we've had so much success."
