Arizona Cardinals Notes, Quotes 2009-01-06
--Free safety Antrel Rolle now has scored five touchdowns on nine turnovers. He has returned four of his eight career interceptions for scores, and returned a fumble for a touchdown last week.


--Of the Cardinals' 22 starters against the Falcons, 16 made their playoff debut last week.

--Cardinals president Michael Bidwill decided to keep the roof at University of Phoenix Stadium closed last Sunday, and his quarterback appreciated it.

"I don't know what it is, but the air just feels a little bit different," said Kurt Warner, who is 37-11 as a starter indoors and 21-33 outside. "I've been telling Michael (Bidwill) that all year: 'Just keep it closed every week.' I know it's beautiful outside. We love all that stuff, but just keep it closed for me."

--Coaches have been bugging quarterback Kurt Warner to run every once in awhile. He finally took their advice, gaining six yards on a key third-down play.

"That's something that goes all the way back to training camp for us," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "It only took us 17 weeks to get it done."

--Defensive lineman Darnell Dockett has been penalized twice in the past five games for excessive celebrations after touchdowns. The first came against the Rams in Week 13 when Dockett scored on a fumble return. The second one came against Atlanta after end Antonio Smith sacked Matt Ryan for a safety.

"I can't do something like that next week, though," Dockett said, "because that could hurt us."
