While Larry Fitzgerald or Kurt Warner are usually the names mentioned when talking about the superstars for the Cardinals, Ken Whisenhunt's peers in the coaching community ask about his defensive end. "The first thing they usually ask about is Darnell Dockett," said Whisenhunt. The defensive end has been named to the Pro Bowl just once (2007) in his six-year NFL career. Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak, whose club meets the Cardinals on Sunday, sounded almost awed by Dockett when discussing the player's ability to change the course of a game. "I tell you what, Dockett's the best player I've seen on film this year," Kubiak said during a conference call with reporters. "You know as a coach, every year you start studying teams and preparing for teams and he's the best individual player I've seen. "I mean he's something for us to deal with coming this weekend." "The Sporting News" recently named him as the most tenacious defensive lineman in the NFL. "It'd be nice if I got paid like it," Dockett said Thursday, "but hey, recognition means a lot, even though I don't get all the credit I probably deserve. But I can honestly say it's a blessing. I'm thankful for it."
