Our line hasn’t been able to open up enough holes, and Wells still has a lot to learn. Wells has shown flashes of being a really good back, but then has fumbled a few times. The coaches say he’s too fast and doesn’t wait for the runs to develop.

I think the Cardinals will definately try to copy the Saints attack. We’re obviously a passing team so whatever we could do what the Saints did, I think it will help.

The Cardinals haven’t been good on the road for two reasons. The early wake up call is the bigger reason, then bad weather if there is any. The Cardinals are 2-0 on the road however, and our game is at night, which should help.

what’s with the discrepancy between the run defense and the pass defense (ranked #31)?

That stat can be skewed a bit. Against the 49ers I’ll give them credit, because they pounded the ball with Frank Gore and he went nowhere all game. The Jags tried early and went nowhere, but had to abandon to catch up. The Colts just aren’t a good rushing team. The Texans couldn’t run much, and had to abandon early. Then the Seahawks, who fell behind early, very quick. They never had a chance to run, but then again, they didn’t do anything. I think if we slow your running backs, that will be the biggest test to our run D.

The loss of Todd Haley really hurt this team, but their just now getting into rhythem with Ken Whisenhunt calling the plays. The defense also took a while to adjust to new D coordinator Billy Davis, but I think they’re coming around too.

Beanie – The Cardinals just don’t run the ball enough to allow two backs to accumulate any stats. The offensive line is playing terrible this season and running holes have been hard to find. He’s put the ball on the turf a couple of times and that certainly hasn’t boosted the staff’s faith in him but that doesn’t mean he’s not running well when he gets a chance. He missed so much time in camp and OTA’s that his knowledge of the playbook isn’t great but he’s getting a better handle on things and I think it’s just a matter of time before he takes over the starting role.

Breaston – Obviously emerged last season after what most called an amazing summer where he practically lived in the team facilities. He was primarily a deep specialist last year but he’s rounding out his game. He’s worked hard at improving his route running and his fearlessness as a punt and kick returner have proven that he can take a pretty good shot so he’s not afraid to come across the middle. With Q most likely out for this game, I’d keep a close eye on Breaston. In the four games that Q missed last year, Breaston topped 75 yards three times.

I think Leinart could/can be a decent starting QB in this league although the offense would have to change some to accommodate his skills. He needs a decent running game to take pressure off of him so when he takes over I could see a more balanced offense. Hopefully that’s a year from now and the offensive line is better but we’ll see. Bottom line though Matt will be the starting QB of this team sometime in the future.

As far as Warner’s future, you’re guess is as good as mine. I could see him retiring if the season finishes either very good or very bad. If it’s somewhere in between I think he comes back and plays one more year.
