Pass catching is now important for Arizona Cardinals running backs

Who says Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians doesn't change? He has changed, at least a little bit in two seasons of being head coach and the offensive play caller.

Turn back the clock two years ago and you have this quote about his running backs and their importance to the passing game.

"They are back there because they are runners and pass protectors," Arians said. "Will we throw to the backs? Yeah. But the receivers are the ones paid to catch it. (Running backs) are helping but it's doubtful our running back leads the team in receiving.
