Biggest weakness i can see apart from 2-3 stars is the d
Especially the line and the cbs. Will struggle to get much pressure with the receivers being able to mince your corners

True but remember I have Jason Taylor and Jerry Porter to blitz too.

Look at that defense!
Good luck in your next game, your offense is too talented to not make the playoffs. (but hey, if you don't you can stack your coaching staff).

Miami Hearld


Leinart Leads Cards to Victory


Backup QB comes off bench to beat Dolphins


Mia: 26 Ari: 37


Glendale, Arizona- As Kurt Warner hobbled off the field, the whole University of Arizona Stadium was as silent as the night. After all, he might be their best player other than Larry Fitzgerald, and the Cardinals needed him if they wanted to make the playoffs.
But in came Matt Lienart, all the the former number one pick finally lived up to his potential, at least for one night. Coming off the bench, he threw two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald, to put the Dolphins to 0-2. He wasn't the only player to get hurt. Left tackle Jake Long also left the game with an injury and didn't return.
"It's nice to be able to help contriubte," said Leinart. "I obviousley haven't played the way I've wanted to so far in my career, but hopefully this is a good start."
Arizona won the toss and chose to receive. Steve Breaston took the ball and almost broke free for a touchdown, but was stopped after a return of 48 yards to put the ball at about mid-field. After two catches by Larry Fitzgerald, putting the Cardinals in the red zone, Edgerrian James capped off the drvie with a 2 yard run for a touchdown, and Arizona drew first blood.
Miami got the ball, and quickly moved down the field, and got a field goal, the first one made by Jay Feely after he was 0-4 in field attempts last game. The drive was highlited by a 51 yard catch and run by Ronnie Brown.
After the Cardinals went 3 and out, the Dolphins drove again, getting in field goal range, but Jay Feely dug himself into the whole he was just in by missing a 34 yard field goal attempt.
On their next drive, however, Miami made sure Feely wouldn't have to miss another field goal as Ronnie Brown took the inside handoff before bouncing it outside and was gone for a 76 yard touchdown run, making the score 10-7 Dolphins.
Says Brown of the run, "I got the ball and there was nothing in the middle. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the outside open and I attacked it."
Then, on the Cardinals next drive, it happened. Kurt Warner was sacked by Joey Porter and stayed down. He hobbled off the field, and Matt Lienart came in.
He couldn't do anything on that drive, and on the Miami drive Jay Feely missed yet another field goal, this one a 50 yarder.
With about two minutes left in the half, when Leinart started to dominate, as he led the Cardinals down the field before throwing a 44 touchdown strike to Larry Fitzgerald.
Then, Andre Woodson threw an interception to Adrian Wilson who return the kick for a touchdown, and just like that the Cardinals were up 21-7.
But back came Woodson. He found Nate Washington who caught the ball, then ran backwards before running outside just like Brown did for a 80 yard touchdown to make the score 21-17 at the half.
The third quarter didn't feature much action, as there was only one field goal by the Cardinals. The highlight of the quarter was Jake Long getting hurt, leaving the game and not returning.
The fourth quarter started with trading field goals before Matt Leinart found Larry Fitzgerald in the end zone for a 6 yard touchdown.
It looked to be over, but the Dolphins didn't give up. Andre Woodson played great on the drive and eventually Desmond Clark caught a 14 yard touchdown. However, they couldn't get the two point converstion, and the score was still 31-26. Arizona added two more field goals, and won 37-26.
"It's tough," said Clarke Ainsley. "When you play that good and lose, it's hard to swallow."
The Dolphins face a tough test next week against Tom Brady and the Patriots.
