Trey McBride was talking about his new contract extension when he was asked if the Cardinals had put a hurdling clause into the pact.

"That was the top of the page I think," the tight end said with a smile.

Few things carry such a swing of perspective than a ballcarrier as hurdler during a play -- in this case, McBride, who has turned it into an art form even as he says (pretty much every time it happens) that he wants to stop doing it. Even last week, he said "I definitely don't want to do that anymore" even while he wants to make exciting plays for the fans.

It's simple really. Coaches don't like players making such a play. It puts them in a vulnerable position to potentially lose the ball at best and at worst, suffer some serious injury while flying through the air with really no way to protect himself if hit the wrong way. McBride gets this.

Instincts are what they are, though, and McBride makes these highlight-level plays, and (to this point) they always work out for him and the Cardinals.

McBride is one of those guys who does everything right. He was in the facility before 9 a.m. the day he signed his contract to get a workout in. Big contracts can sometimes leave a player willing to plateau where he is now that he's paid; McBride is the guy who is going to work hard to get better and show he's worth the money.

That doesn't have to include hurdling. Even if it's fun to watch.

"I don't want to be recognized for that," McBride said. "I'm trying to stop. I don't want to jump over people. I told myself I'm not going to do it anymore. We'll see how long that lasts."
