Cardinals Gab

Things are starting to get stranger and stranger regarding the quarterback situation in Arizona.  Yesterday, a mere two days after Matt Leinart had his hands down best performance of the pre-season, Leinart launched a few missiles aimed directly at Ken Whisenhunt regarding the open quarterback competition.  Take a look:
I have outplayed the competition (in) [...]

Coach Ken Whisenhunt probably has an idea of who will be the team’s starting quarterback entering the season. However, he won’t reveal who that might be. Matt Leinart was benched in favor of Derek Anderson for Arizona’s third preseason game this weekend. “Whiz says he saw good things from both QBs. Won’t hint at a [...]

Coach Whisenhunt obviously spoke to the media yesterday about the situation at quarterback.  While the head coach tried to downplay the QB swap, it’s a tough sell.  The NFL, the media, and the fans love a good quarterback controversy and the Cardinals have a good one brewing now.
“A lot of people see this [game in [...]

The boss is not happy.  When the boss isn’t happy, no one’s happy.  That was the message sent by Coach Whisenhunt when the Cardinals returned for the last week of training camp after “defeating” the Houston Texans in both squads’ first taste of the 2010 season.
“There were a couple of times in the first half, [...]

First, let’s get the big news about Dan Williams out of the way.  The first round pick from Tennessee signed a 5-year deal yesterday (8/2).  The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.  Williams is expected to join team meetings and participate in team practice today.  “It’s kind of (been) like Christmas, waiting to [...]

ESPN reports that Ken Whisenhunt still seems confident that Matt Leinart can step in and get the job done.

In Peter King’s Monday Morning QB, he comments that he feels that new Cards guard Alan Faneca will show the Jets it was a mistake in releasing him:
I think Alan Faneca, installed as the starting left guard in Arizona, will be determined to prove the Jets made a mistake in dumping him. Ken Whisenhunt’s thrilled [...]

Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt will once again be calling the plays for the Cardinals in 2010.  Passing game coordinator Mike Miller and running game coordinator Russ Grimm will also contribute a considerable degree of input.
Whisenhunt called the plays in 2007, but Todd Haley took over the duties during the Cards’ 2008 Super Bowl season.  After [...]

UPDATE:Newly signed guard Alan Faneca will hold a press conference today (Thursday).  In other offensive line news,  OL coach Russ Grim mentioned to Darren Urban that guard Reggie Wells could possibly play some tackle.  The addition of Faneca, therefore, may throw Wells  in the right tackle mix with Brandon Keith and Jeremy Bridges.
The Cardinals added yet another former Jet [...]

UPDATE:Ken Whisenhunt weighed in on the Roethlisberger rumors after questioning from Darren Urban of the Cardinals’ official website.  The quote doesn’t shed much light on the subject, but Whisenhunt can’t really talk about dealings/discussions regarding a signed player for fear of tampering charges.  In any event here’s the quote:
It seems like you’d be hard-pressed to [...]
