The 2008 Arizona Cardinals lacked playmakers on the defensive side of the ball, but defensive tackle Darnell Dockett was a disruptive force on the inside. He didn't rack up the sacks in 2008 as he did in the prior season, but he still did a good job of penetrating and pressuring the quarterback, which is a good thing because the Cardinals did't get a lot of sacks out of their defensive ends. The rotation of Travis LaBoy, Bertrand Berry, and Antonio Smith is adequate, but none of the three stood out as elite pass rushers during the regular season.
