Leinart to start
This Cardinals team is really bad. It seems as we get better players, we become worse. I blame one man - Dennis Green. Our offense is pathetic. We have played the Falcons twice in the Green era - 6 offensive points combined for both games. I want a new coach, but I do not want to start from scratch again. I would love to add one or two stud o-lineman in the off season, and hire a dynamic, emotionally charged, proven coach with some imagination to take this team to the playoffs and beyond.
But let's focus on now. Even though Atlanta racked up almost 300 yards rushing, I actaully think our defense played well. If our offense could have kept something alive, not had the four turnovers, we would have been in this game and it would have been exciting to watch. Leinart is not the quick fix, but at least he creates a few more play calling options. Our play calling is pathetic, it is so predictable. Defenses know, all you have to do is jam our receivers, provide only one on one coverage and apply pressure to QB - you win the game agaisnt the Cardinals. It is know around the NFL, that our receivers run the same routes all the time. It is really easy to defend predictability.
I will give Dennis Green props on one thing - at lease he called out Kurt Warner for something saying he holds onto the ball too long.
Well - I do think we will beat Kansas City this week. Then get crushed by the Bears. But without giving away the St. Louis game, we could be maintaining the 500 record. At least Leinart is exciting, and I hope he lives up to expectations.

I hope your right about KC. They way the cards have been playing, I'm concerned that Oakland will end up with at least 1 win thanks to the Cards.
