When the Arizona Cardinals released defensive lineman Darnell Dockett, while his on-field production wasn't what it was years ago, his leaving created a void on the team.
Dockett was the vocal leader of the defense, the one that led huddles, the one head coach Bruce Arians leaned on to be an example to the rest of the players.
However, it appears the Cardinals have their new Dockett -- a guy who doesn't play the same position. That would be inside linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, whom the team signed as a free agent this offseason.
