Things are slowing a bit in the Cardinals news front. However, people are still talking about them, which is nice. Bruce Arians is causing a buzz. In fact, he has Darnell Dockett excited. Not only that, but we can look at Reggie Wayne and optimistically see Fitz-like number for Fitz next year. That is, of course, if there is a decent quarterback.

Word From the Birds Blog | Dockett expects to be dominant after Arians talk
