Newsbreakers
August 31, 2009
Matt Leinart was limited during Monday's practice due to soreness in his left shoulder, according to the Arizona Republic.

Our View:Head coach Ken Whisenhunt noted that the ailment is minor. Leinart's soreness stems from being hit during last Friday's preseason game against the Packers.
August 23, 2009
After being told he was not guaranteed his job this preseason, Matt Leinart's backup quarterback role for the Cardinals appears to be safe, according to Pro Football Talk.

Our View:His challenger, Brian St. Pierre, has struggled mightily this preseason, while Leinart has been acceptable, going 14-of-24 for 157 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions.
August 13, 2009
Matt Leinart didn't exactly set the world ablaze trying to keep his backup quarterback job Thursday night against the Steelers. The embattled fourth-year pro went 8-of-14 for just 83 yards. He recorded no touchdowns or interceptions.

Our View:His challenger, Brian St. Pierre, wasn't any better, however, going just 4-of-10 for 42 yards and a pick. This is certainly an evolving battle.
August 4, 2009
Matt Leinart is in danger of losing his backup quarterback job, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Our View:My, oh my. Leinart's perplexing NFL career got stranger this offseason when he partook in MMA training to get "tougher," and this, among other things, has apparently caused him to fall even further out of favor with his team. He is competing with 29-year-old journeyman Brian St. Pierre for the job, and reportedly must exhibit better mental toughness and decision making if he wants to remain Kurt Warner's understudy.
May 23, 2009
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has stated that Matt Leinart has matured in the offseason, according to the Arizona Republic. The 26-year-old is making better decisions on the field and Whisenhunt said, "A lot of this goes to the maturity of Matt. A lot of times (backup quarterbacks) are guys who have had tremendous success in the past, and they do not handle the role very well. I have to give credit to Matt, because it appears to me, from what I have seen on the practice field, that he has grown up."

Our View:This is good news for the Cardinals, as Kurt Warner is 37 and coming off hip surgery. Leinart looks to be ready to step in if Warner goes down, at which point Leinart would be a hot target on the waiver wire.
