Kurt Warner wasn’t able to play in the first preseason game, and now that the quarterback is about to start the Arizona Cardinal’s second preseason matchup, coach Ken Whisenhunt was thinking of letting Warner to start in Kansas City over Matt Leinart a veteran quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals. Whisenhunt wanted to make sure that Kurt gets some time with the ones, without worrying of whether it is in the second quarter or even later, and the best thing to do in order to control that is to start Kurt in the game. However, coach Whisenhunt said that they haven’t decided yet how long their offensive lines is going, and so we do not have any idea yet of how the playing time will play out.
With this decision of Coach Ken Whisenhunt, Kurt is as expected pleased with the development after patiently sitting out the New Orleans game. Kurt fell fortunate about the coach’s decision, and he was informed from the very first day that it is a competition. Kurt felt the fair treatment of Coach Ken with reps in practice and with what had happened is why he felt fortunate. According to Kurt, he has been into other difficult situations already, and he believe and treat it as a competition, no matter if it is six plays, 10 plays, 20 plays, it doesn’t matter to him. Kurt’s possibility of starting seems impossible not until a few days when he was asked by the coaches to sit the Saint’s game to allow Leinart extended playing time. At present, Warner has given about equal first-team reps in practice with Leinart. Warner find it difficult for not playing in the opener, and it makes him feel more excited of his start. Warner said that he do not have any idea if they will go one and one. The only thing he is sure is that he is ready for his reps whenever they come, however they may come and how many they are.
Warner is happy to work with Coach Ken’s timetable and is not expecting to play a long time, and he is expecting for Leinart to work with the first unit offensive line. However, according to Leinart, Warner would be a starter when the quarterbacks had at least an idea. Leinart is expecting for Warner to do the same in the second preseason game as the first, wherein Warner completed 7-of-8 passes. Leinart is also sure that he will get a little more play time in Kansas City, and wanted to continuously get better.
According to Coach Ken Whisenhunt, he had thought both Warner and Leinhart looked sharp during their practice, and he had a feeling that the quarterback position will be one of the Card’s strongest camps. Aside from Warner and Leinhart, third-string candidates Brian St. Pierre and Anthony Morelli are also into Ken’s consideration. However in the end, it is the battle between Warner and Leinart who will grab the headlines.
Warner feels great with the situation and keeps on preparing for the season.
