Good Karlos Dansby article

In case you did not know it Karlos Dansby returned to play for the Cardinals after three season with the Dolphins. I found a good article from the Cardinals on the subject of his return and his leadership.

A few excerpts:

“Karlos has been outstanding since he came back,” said Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, who coached Dansby in Miami. “He teaches the young guys. He’s a veteran. He has a feel for things. He can call out things by experience that a lot of people can’t see but Karlos can still play. He can still run. He still has the ability. He’s smooth, he’s smart. He’s a great team player. He’s a great leader.”

Coach Bruce Arians was giddy the day the Cardinals signed Dansby, in no small part because he would fill the Washington void. Dansby now is a “security blanket” for leadership, Arians said.“It’s everything we needed in Daryl’s absence,” Arians said.

Perhaps the three years away made the heart grow fonder. (Darnell) Dockett always stayed in touch with Dansby, and when Dansby was released and the Cardinals were undergoing the roster overhaul, a possible return was a frequent topic of conversation.

Dansby laughed at the suggestion at first, Dockett said, but he kept pushing and eventually reached out to General Manager Steve Keim to endorse such a move.

“When he left we never replaced him,” Dockett said. “We had guys fill in the role but you can’t replace Karlos.”
