Whisenhunt Plans to Continue Rotating Cardinals' Quarterbacks

Arizona Cardinals Coach Ken Whisenhunt plans to continue alternating quarterbacks Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner.

Warner has had great success in recent weeks coming off the bench to run the Cardinals' no-huddle offense, and the club evened its record at 2-2 with Sunday's triumph over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"It's really not pulling one guy to put another guy in," Whisenhunt told reporters Monday. "It's more of a package thing.

"I know it's a little bit different. It's a harder thing to get your mind around a substitution at the quarterback position than it is maybe as a receiver or a running back or a tight end."

Leinart is offering only reluctant support.

"I'd be lying if I said I was happy with the way things are going," he told reporters Monday. "But at the same time, it's pushing me to become a better football player."

Leinart also said, according to the Associated Press: "It's hard to sometimes get rhythm, and that's just the bottom line. I mean that's obvious, to be a quarterback, to get in there, come out, then not really know when you're going to play again. But you've got to be ready, you've got to bounce back and you've got to be mentally tough. And that's something that I'm just trying to do."
