As one poster wrote: "i agree he hasnt been given the opportunity to throw the ball as much as DA but getting first downs gives you the chance to throw more."
There is some truth here, Matt has to make things happen and overcome adversity to get that first down. Not blame new faces.
Well at the very least, we know that Leinart will not be signing an extension with the team. Whiz obviously despises the dude and with what he's done since taking over the team, I don't feel like anyone is in position to question his decision-making just yet.
The dude is clearly angry that he has had a completely negative (yardage) running game and about a 1 second window to throw the ball behind the garbage pass pro he's gotten. He's angry that the blame is all going to him, and he's 100 percent right. What impresses me is that, even though he's fired up and wanting to point fingers, he doesn't call anyone or any of our units out. I like the interview.
Good for Leinart!! Seriously I am glad he stood up for himself and didnt do the old " well I just need to play better and I am working hard at doing that". This may in fact be exactly what Whis wanted to hear from his QB. I think we have all noticed the lack of fire in Leinart since his rookie year and have all feared that he will back down under pressure. Well maybe he has matured and will step the hell up. I mean truth is Whis has been saying all off season that this is Matt's team and his job. And spoke highly of him all off season and how he has earned this opportunity.
We shall see!!! I am just praying DA is not under center at all this season.
Just curious... do you guys view Whiz as a players coach? A coach that cna get along with his players, earn their respect and trust? Or, do you see him as some sort of ego freak who is totally distant from his players? Someone who couldn't care any less about connecting with them??
Toast is heating up. I hope he throws for 300 yards on Saturday and shuts the idiots up.

He did it last year in the preseason. Time for him to play angry.
Interesting...he's mad (good thing) and broaches a line of thought that he doesn't feel it was an open competition at the outset, and if it was he doesn't feel he's had an equal opportunity.
Thanks for the firewood, Toast. This fire is a'blazin!
