Player Notes

June 26, 2008
Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt praised the offseason work of Matt Leinart, according to azcardinals.com. The second-year coach was pleased with Leinart's physical and mental progress, saying, "The thing I really like is you see confidence in him on the field because he is more comfortable with the system and when he steps into the huddle and calls the plays there is a different presence about him now."

June 20, 2008
Coach Ken Whisenhunt has noted that Matt Leinart needs to improve his footwork, according to USA Today. Whisenhunt said, "What he was doing last year was crossing over his first step and not getting away from the center, and that creates situations on a five-step drop where he is not nine yards deep, or he is not far enough behind the line of scrimmage. He wasn't getting far enough from the line of scrimmage, which makes it difficult protection-wise, makes it difficult for timing of routes."

June 12, 2008
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt was asked if there is a plan to resurrect the dual-quarterback scheme from last year. And while he didnt totally rule it out, he did comment that quarterback Matt Leinart is much more comfortable in the two-minute drill, no huddle and goal line packages this offseason, according to the Arizona Republic.

June 1, 2008
Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic is reporting that Matt Leinart is the starter in name, but his hold on the job is tenuous. The report notes that in the Cardinals voluntary practice last Thursday Kurt Warner took most of the snaps with the first-team offense while Leinart guided the second unit.

May 4, 2008
Coach Ken Whisenhunt says Matt Leinart handled the offense well and looked confident during the weekend minicamp, the team's official web site reports. Leinart has already been named the starter for 2008, and he is coming off a broken left collarbone.
