After today's performance, look for Leinart to be in the starting lineup from now on. This town was so pumped for football this season, new stadium, Edgerrin James, Matt Leinart, etc. Problem is you can put a pig in a dress and it is still a pig.

I don't know why they can't win with all those great players hanging around their roster.

Simple - talent at the skill positions, but not on the offensive line. Games are won or lost in the trenches.

Their Offensive line is awful. I am not sure if I am right, but I think they have the theory that size is everything. Problem is, they have 360lb guys that can't move. Leonard Davis is playing out of position. He should not be a tackle. He is too big and can't move fast enough to handle the ends.

It doesn't seem to matter who you put in the Cardinals uniform, it's always the same result.

You put Peyton Manning and LaDanian Tomlinson in a Cardinals uniform and you expect them to go less than 8-8?

With Arizona's current offensive line? Yes. Look at what's happening to Edge behind that group of stiffs. What did he average, about 2.5 yards per carry yesterday? If there's no one to run block or pass protect, it doesn't really matter who you put back there - their success will be limited. Even Manning or LT.

Dennis Green went off on a rant today about his offensive line. Something about 1/2 of them making over $3mil per year and not doing the jobs that they are being paid handsomely to do. It was pretty good.

Matt Leinart has been named the starting QB of the Arizona Cardinals, take two. Yep, once again, Dennis Green has reportedly benched Kurt Warner in favor of the #1 pick from USC. This comes according to Todd Sikorski of All Headline News - All Headline News - Matt Leinart Becomes Starting Quarterback For the Cardinals - October 3, 2006.

So, do we believe that Leinart really IS the starter this time? Or will Green change his mind again?

[ThePundit]

He won't change his mind this time but to be fair about it, if the Cards don't improve their O-Line, it won't make a difference who the quarterback is.
