Watching Leinhart - The Orange Mane

Garcia Bronco · 08-19-2006, 08:34 PM

I'm catching the Bronco game at midnight. so AZ is on for me now. Matt is looking good. He's delivered the ball well..even when he got drilled. This is on his first series..and is a 2 minute drill........he scrambled for 16. Ansante almost picked him off, but the reciever knocked it away. Leinhart has to scramble again and gets another first down. A couple more passes and he gets AZ in range for 3.

pretty good for 2 days of camp.

halftime

ludo21 · 08-19-2006, 09:14 PM

this is extremely hard to not listen or go to the chat room

I decided after the first quarter id rather watch it.

but man, i might give up!

Garcia Bronco · 08-19-2006, 10:07 PM

he ended up 4 for 11 45 yards passing and 29 yards rushing....he actually did a few audibles...he did alright. Not as good as Cutler's first game...but it preseason. His recievers dropped a feww too

ZachKC · 08-19-2006, 10:09 PM

That is pretty impressive with all the time he missed out no.

Garcia Bronco · 08-19-2006, 10:20 PM

I think he did good on a weeks notice. I can only imagine how good he'll be once he gets comfortable.

ludo21 · 08-19-2006, 10:21 PM

lol

awesome hanging out on the Cards board. Such bandwagonish fans its rediculous.

Fans here in AZ for all our teams are fickle.

TheChamp247 · 08-20-2006, 12:45 AM

these 3 will constantly be compared for their entire carrers. mostly leinhart and young because their last game was the national championship

Paladin · 08-20-2006, 01:01 AM

L-Y-C. It will be a battle of the 'Systems" over the next several years.

RhymesayersDU · 08-20-2006, 01:03 AM

Saw some good things from Leinhart for sure, especially for not being in camp for very long.

Young on the other hand has a lot of work to do.

Hulamau · 08-20-2006, 01:11 AM

The last PS game will be Cutler vs Leinert for real, although Denny Green will probably let his first team go against our second team the first half like last year in hopes of instilling a winning attitude to the team in their new stadium.

MechanicalBull · 08-20-2006, 07:32 AM

Had the Pats vs Cards as well and Leinart looked good running that 2 minutes offense just on two practices. I was very impressed with him not wanting to waste a lot of time in the pocket or force the ball so he runs right up the gut for a big run, slides, and then quickly calls time out.

Living here in Card country, I totally agree. Give them 3-4 games and their season will start to bomb, the bandwagon will hit a rutt, they will flush the season

and 2007 draft talk will start.

This new stadium here is a total waste of money. What kind of reward is that for their poor performance? The Broncos at least earned it with 2 Super Bowls.

Arizona is quite different than Denver. First, most in Phoenix are not from here. Like me, we all bring our team loyalties with us. It is hard to even cheer for them at all.

In terms of football, the best fans are in the cold weather cities. I cannot think of a single team in the sunbelt that can compare to teams like the Broncos, Chiefs, Eagles, Pack, etc when it comes to fan loyalty. The only team that comes close is the Cowboys. Yet, I remember when they were bad and their fans where not to be found.

Barry Ramey · 08-20-2006, 09:38 AM

I agree, I thought Leinhart looked good. especially having not had much practice going into the game. He may not have a gun for an arm, but looks like he can make all the throws needed. His mobility was better than expected as well.

Black96WS6 · 08-20-2006, 09:42 AM

It's going to be fun watching the young guns go through their learning curves(Leinart, Cutler, Rivers, etc). We'll see flashes of greatness followed by "what the heck did he throw that one for

"

-Slap- · 08-20-2006, 09:53 AM

Leinart is smart and he's extremely accurate. That should compensate for his less than impressive physical tools. He's kind of like a really good Brian Griese, without the personality disorder.

Ya know, I always supported the team of the city I lived in. If Denver came to town, naturally I would want Denver to win, but I always figured it was no-class to dis the team of the town where I made my living.

**** that ****. I was born in Burbank in 1964. I didn't invite the dicklicking Raiders to Los Angeles 20 years later and I goddamn sure as hell wasn't going to say a kind word about them when they got there.

Well, that's a whole lot different than say moving to a city with an established team that provides you a living, then punking them as often as you can.

Well, I would agree with that, to an extent. I'm not the kind of guy to kick the local populace while they're down, but I don't want to see a bunch of bandwagoners celebrating if their team is on top, either.

I know a lot of people in LA who are relieved SC didn't beat Texas this year. Mainly because they're tired of the insufferable Trojan fans all over the Southland.

I honestly never cared if the hometown teams - and we lived in Phoenix for a couple years in the mid-90's - wanted to bandwagon. Hell, I supported the Cards all the way, wished them the best of luck every week and all year. I was proud of the natives that supported their team with their backs to the wall when the stadium was half-filled with out-of-towners.

I'll say again, I think it's no-class to move to a city that provides your living, and not push the hometown team.

I must be classless because I bleed Orange and Blue and wouldn't change regardless of where I lived. I refuse to jump on a local banwagon when the team is doing good.

Just curious - do you like the Cards, support them at all? Do you rag on them to friends, colleagues? Do you ridicule them, ridiicule their fans? If they win, do you sneer, if they lose do you take an "I told you so attitude"?

-Slap- · 08-20-2006, 11:44 AM

Cito, Arizonians have every right to sneer at the Cardinals organization. Dollar Bill Bidwell rode into their town and acted like a classless clueless prick from day one. Exorbitant ticket prices, repeated threats to move to Los Angeles and an inferior product on the field year after year. Nobody is beholden to Bidwell for anything. Conversely, I can totally understand people enjoying his misfortunes.

I live in Dallas.. and yes I do. I HATE the Cowboys. No.. I LOATHE the Cowboys.

I hate that they b**** EVERY year about how their being screwed by the hall of fame. I hate that their fans show up 15 minutes late and leave 30 minutes early. I hate that they continue to refer to themselves as the 'Yankees of the NFL', when their glory years are decades behind them. I hate that they have one of the smallest stadiums in the NFL, but I can walk up to the ticket counter and buy season tickets TODAY. I hate that these idiots think that every football player in the countries sole goal is to get that stupid star on their helmet.

The best day of my football life (oter than every Bronco win..preseason included) was when T.O. posed on that lame-@$$ star.

Screw the Cowboys
