Belief in A.Q. Shipley comes in tangible moments for Bruce Arians.
There was last year’s Philadelphia fill-in for starting center Lyle Sendlein, a night when the Cardinals erupted for 40 points and 230 yards rushing.

This is who Arians sees when he sees who will likely be this year’s starting center for the Cards.
