Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt wasnt prepared to name his starting quarterback for Sundays game at Seattle, saying he and his staff would watch tape from their 7-6 loss to the New York Jets before determining whether to stick with rookie Ryan Lindley, Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic reports.
Its doubtful Whisenhunt would turn to John Skelton, however. If he didnt play him against the Jets, he probably wont play him again unless there is any injury to Lindley.
Lindley looked overwhelmed in his second start, completing just 10 of 31 passes for 72 yards, becoming just the second quarterback since the NFL merger in 1970 to finish with less than 75 yards on at least 30 passing attempts.
We didnt help Ryan out very much yesterday, Whisenhunt said Monday. We had lot of areas where we had problems. Were looking for the right combination to be more effective, offensively.
Whisenhunt still isnt certain of Kolbs status as the quarterback continue to heal form rib and shoulder injuries.
The only way well know is when he can do it in practice. Hes making progress, the coach said. Until we get out there and see if he can make the throws and be able to do those kind of things, then well know. Source: The Redzone Attached Thumbnails

Kolb the Cards' only hope now, in near future
TEMPE, Ariz. At the risk of stating the obvious, the Cardinals need quarterback Kevin Kolb to play. Now. Not to save the season; thats already gone. To save morale. To save coach Ken Whisenhunts job. To keep alive whatever shred of hope remains for this franchise.

Larry Fitzgerald on Cardinals offense: ‘I have to laugh to keep from crying’
When asked about the Arizona Cardinals offense, Larry Fitzgerald told the Arizona Republic, “I have no words, I have to laugh to keep from crying.”While the defense has played well this year, the offense has been abysmal and it doesn’t seem like there is any improvement coming anytime soon. Forgetting about their quarterback play, their offensive line can’t even block...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Arizona Cardinals have released TE Todd Heap.
Heap, 32, has been inactive for 10 straight games, despite the fact that he’s no longer dealing with issues related to a previous knee injury that he suffered. Heap apparently hasn’t been able to practice at full speed, which is why the team had held him out of game-action.
It’s hard to imagine...
Lindley, Cards struggle again in 7-6 loss to Jets
Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt considered a quarterback change before sticking with the struggling Ryan Lindley.
The argument for a switch - as the New York Jets did with Mark Sanchez - was compelling during the Cardinals 7-6 loss on Sunday, their eighth straight defeat.
Lindley had a miserable game: 10 for 31 for only 72 yards, one interception and a dismal 28.0 quarterback...

At one time it seemed that few players were more reliable in terms of fantasy football production than Larry Fitzgerald. Shockingly though, Fitz now belongs on your bench.
