Cardinals coach praised QB Leinart’s performance in opener

After Thursday night’s 20-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Arizona Cardinals Coach Ken Whisenhunt said at a news conference Friday that he liked quarterback Matt Leinart’s performance at the preseason opener.

“He really made a couple of big-time throws,” Whisenhunt said. “That was nice to see, especially on the perimeter where he’s thrown them over guys, fitting them in a window. He was very comfortable in the pocket, very comfortable in the huddle.”

Whisenhunt had given Leinart extra pressure before the opener by saying that Brian St. Pierre has a chance to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Kurt Warner, and Leinart still managed to impress him by improving in stride and performing well in the game.
