Whisenhunt said he wants more offensive production but stressed this isn't necessarily permanent
It isn't the only lineup change for the weekend. LB Daryl Washington is running with the ones, along with CB Greg Toler.
Some of the QB choice is to see how Leinart reacts but again, this doesn't mean Leinart is permanently second string.
BTW: I dont like this decision. But I do love that Toler and Washington are starting!
Yeah I think this is a bad move personally. Glad Toler and Washington are starting. But man 6 series and 3 incompletions later and this? Seems to me this is a bad move.
That says all we need to know right there. The one game of the pre season that the coaches take somewhat serious and DA is starting. So much for Matty here in AZ.
Looks like Mitch is right and we can forget the whole k9 post from earlier.
Love it.
Compete and step up to the challenge or get the heck out of the way.
Love to see Toler and Washington playing with the ones. Makes sense, and both have earned the oppourtunity.
As for Leinart, the season has started, he is getting his fair shot, and so far has been unimpressive.
I think it is only fair, AND smart to start Anderson in this game. See if he takes the reigns or not.
Right now this team doesn't have a QB. Leinart was named the starter at the beginning of camp, and since then has not out-competed Anderson to the point where he is the starter in stone. Thus the Cardinals are in a QB controversy, and the saying goes if you have 2 QB's you have no QB's
I have seen nothing, and have heard nothing that would prevent Anderson from getting his shot. Leinart has gotten his, and now Anderson should get a turn.
Let the best QB win because without that philosophy Warner never sees the field again after Leinart's rookie year.
Love it.
