No, they aren’t going to a funeral. Although, it will be the death of preseason games and it comes not a second too soon.
Tonight, the Arizona Cardinals will wear their “third” jersey, the new black jerseys unveiled during the off-season. They will wear them three times in the regular season. Personally I love them and wish they would wear them more. As an alternate jersey though, I understand the NFL has rules on those types of things.
It's the least interesting game of the season, preseason included. The fourth game of the preseason is typically reserved for the guys trying to make the last few available roster spots. The Arizona Cardinals figure to play some starters early. Don't expect many from their opponent, the Washington Redskins.
Tonight's game is exactly the reason why I can't wait for the NFL to implement the 18-game regular season schedule. It will make the two preseason games more meaningful and by now we would be playing for real. Hopefully it will pass and we can be on that by 2012.
Probably the most interesting storyline from the game will be how much quarterbacks Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson play. Don't expect them to play too much. However Anderson will start.
Hugs everywhere! Darnell Dockett will be a Cardinals player for a long time coming.
Arizona Cardinals DL Darnell Dockett has signed an extension with the team. It is reported to be through 2015. That sounds like Darnell Dockett will be with the Cards for a long time. Clearly if this had not happened, Dockett was going to go elsewhere. That would have been a shame.
Dockett is one of the hardest working players on and off the field. He is the ultimate player. He is worth all $47 million he will receive with this new contract.
I will say this, the Arizona Cardinals had us going and I question the timing of the press conference given everything else going on right now with the club and on going rumors swirling Matt Leinart. Either way, this was good news for Cards fans.
Sounds like Matt Leinart may not be the topic of discussion at 3:45 after all. Apparently Darnell Dockett has signed the long-awaited extension he has been coveting.
We’ll see, but for now it sounds as if that is the reason for the press conference. If it is, congrats to him! Not many people in the NFL work harder than Dockett. Any extension is well deserved!
As ESPN’s Mike Sando said – end game near for Matt Leinart??
Just got a text from Sports 620 KTAR that the Arizona Cardinals have called a 3:45pm press conference. Didn’t disclose about what, however I have to believe it has to do with a certain quarterback not named Derek Anderson.
Press conferences aren’t called to say nothing is happening, so something is going on. We’ll find out more in about 40 minutes!
Stay Tuned!
I have my opinions, however so do a lot of other people. What are others saying about the possible trade of Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart?
Mike Sando (ESPN.com) writes that he feels this is Leinart’s “Endgame”
Dennis Dillon (Sporting News) gives us three reasons why Leinart might need a change of venue
Another day, more Matt Leinart rumors.
The Arizona Cardinals current starting quarterback has been rumored to be included in trade talks with the Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders, and New York Giants. The Bills and Raiders for their part, have denied attempting to trade for the soon to be ousted quarterback. The Giants have remained quiet, not even denying rumors.
The Giants seem to make most sense to me anyway. Their backup Jim Sorgi, is out for the season. However, I’m not sure Leinart is willing to accept a backup role, not just in Arizona, but anywhere. One thing is for sure, Leinart won’t be making what he would be making in Arizona.
The Bills were the first to deny the rumors, only saying they had discussions in the off-season.
The Raiders say they are happy. Really? Is Matt Leinart really going to drag you down at this point?
If you are an NFL team not currently named the Arizona Cardinals, good news for you! Cards quarterback Matt Leinart is for sale! According to reports , the current Cards quarterback is being shopped by your Cardinals. From the sounds of it, not too many of you are disappointed by that either.
It's not really a surprise though, is it? Derek Anderson is starting against the Washington Redskins on Thursday. After practice yesterday, Leinart criticized the way his demotion this past Saturday was handled. Now, Leinart and coach Ken Whisenhunt apparently cleared the air, however it may have been a case of too little too late.
Kurt Warner was really never known to be fleet of foot on the football field. Apparently, he’s hoping he will on the dance floor. Just announced officially a little while ago was the former Arizona Cardinals quarterback as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars.
The rumors has been out there for weeks that Warner was going to be on the ABC hit show. Over the past few days though, a lot of rumors didn’t include him on the list, so we were left wondering if it would really happen for him or not? Well, now we know. He will not be the first NFL player on the show, however will be the first quarterback to appear.
Warner is appearing with “The Situation” from Jersey Shore, Michael Bolton, Kyle Massey, David Hasselhoff, and Rick Fox on the men’s side. The women include Jennifer Grey, Margaret Cho, Florence Henderson, Bristol Palin, Audrina Patridge, and Brandy.
How do others think the battle for Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback between Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson went last night?
Mike Sando from ESPN.com said the Cardinals choices seem to be more favorable after last night’s performances
Chad Middleton from Bleacher Report though both played well. He thought that Anderson showed some confidence but still lacks in accuracy
MSNBC.com says the race is too close to call
Darren Urban of azcardinals.com said he wasn’t sure what coach Ken Whisenhunt was aiming for in starting Anderson, but it worked
