Honestly. He played here and there his rookie season and actually did ok. Last year he shared snaps and plays with Warner and didnt play well but then was lost for the season. And so far we havent seem him at all this year.

Can he run Kurt Warner’s offense? Doubtful. Can he run an offense in the NFL? A Cardinals offense? Definitely. The Steelers game from last year is a good example of that. In the games he’s had success it’s when a solid run game is setting up his passing plays. Clearly, the Cards need to extricate themselves from 32nd in league rushing if Matt is the QB. If Warner goes off into Daddy DayCare Land next year, the Cards will have to focus on strengthening their offensive line, tight ends, and the running back position through the draft and free agency.

I believe that Leinart is capable of leading this team to victory. He was in close contention for the starting job competing with Warner half way though preseason.

I think all of Leinart’s relative experience was established behind a dominant O-line (which we do not have) like you saw at USC. With the O-Line as a focus in draft and free agency he can be productive as a team leader as soon as next year.

The Card’s QB situation has been pretty interesting. Like us, they had their QB of the future out for test drive, and he didn’t look good.

Leinart actually got a real shot though before being benched for Warner, didn’t he?

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is we’ll give you Kevin Kolb for Larry Fitzgerald. :-)

He reinforced gap management, particularly for Gerald Hayes and Chike Okeafor. Also, the defense is just playing some pretty inspired football. I don’t know if it’s just a case of minding their p’s and q’s when tackling or Clancy was saving some more disguised formations for the post-season.

At times this regular season the defense didn’t trust themselves to be in the right spot. LBs would move to help and the RB would cut and run right where the LB should have been. DBs were taking bad angles and making piss-poor arm tackles. The trust is there and the tackling through the player is keeping the “yards after contact” to a minimum.

Dont expect to see that. Theyll get back to basics and focus on Westbrook.

Big Game Brent seems to be turning into one of McNabb’s safety valves, a la Chad Lewis, thank goodness.

(Avant, too).

I’d have to suspect there’s something going on there in the scouting department. I don’t know for sure. Perhaps Lurie and Rod Graves (our GM) have each other on speed-dial? ::shrugs::

Pago was actually in our camp out of college and you guys nabbed him off of waivers last year. He was slotted for our PS.

Morey had some good years for the Eagles after his NFLE days.

Totally forgot that Ware played in Philly. He’s not likely to last the offseason as a Cardinal though. He plays mostly ST anymore and we’ll have Ali Highsmith back who’ll take his spot most likely with the development of Michael Adams at CB.

So I appreciate the empathy.

Being a Cards fan has never been a glorious past time. It was especially hard after realignment when the thousands of 49ers fans I co-exist with became bitter rivals. The past couple of years have been particularly pleasant (thank you Ken Whisenhunt and staff) and win or lose Sunday, this has been the best season to have witnessed as a Cardinals fan.

I hope the Eagles come out of Sunday’s game as healthy as the entered it, but I’d rather see Andy Reid coaching in the Pro Bowl than the Super Bowl. ;-)

A big thank you to everyone that has participated in the Q&A threads on both teams’ blogs. I have a greater appreciation of the Eagles and their fans for it.
