980AM reports Warner to start!
 

Czaban reported a little while ago on 980AM that Kurt Warner will start Sunday. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case and Springs doesn't play, it could drastically change this Sunday's game...

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

Warner will be knocked out if he starts so who cares!! We are gonna roll those punks like a splif......

He's in Texas at his father's bedside. Ron Springs is in a coma and apparently it's not looking good. I don't think there's anyone out there, including Skins top brass, who would fault him for putting family before football. But there's a chance he'll miss the game because of missing all week on the practice field.

I JUST THIS SECOND heard on ESPN that doctors told the family there is ZERO chance he will survive. What a shame. So sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to their family, and don't count on Springs being on the field Sunday. What a shitty double whammy.

He will play.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

Last I heard, Warner practiced today and won't require surgery but he's not expected to start until Nov. 4 for the Cardinals

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

Springs father was a football player and so in Shawn. His dad would want him to play and have the game of his life........in loving memory.

That's what I heard too, but a friend of mine called me from his car and said he heard Czaban say it. I have looked all of over the net and can't find anything to that effect.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

i also heard it, but cant remember where. but i say just bring it. Warner injured could possibly get killed on game-day. and he already is good for a fumble or two

Well there ya go. It's hearsay. The odds are, Warner will be on the sidelines this Sunday.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

No problems for US with warner starting, IF TRUE. Might just be the end of his season for him on the flip side. He will be HAMMERED!

I really hope thats the case, but thats the last thing I'm worried about, if Springs doesnt play, his teamates should play for him than...everyone deals with this kind of stuff differently and if Springs retired in a week and says he wanted his dad to see his last game, I'd be fine with that too...its completley up to Shawn and not saying that you are, but I no one should push him back until he wants to play.

This is a big game for them as well. I would expect Warner to play. I would be shocked if he doesn't

I know he is very very close with his dad. I hope he does play in honor of his dad.

100% agreed. He needs to do what's best for him and his family. Granted, his father was a football player, and if he could speak he'd probably tell Shawn to go to his job and be there for his teammates. Gibbs said it is all up to Shawn as to when he wants to return. I hope to have him. I think if he came back the D would just play their friggin guts out for him....

Here's something from their official site

[url=http://www.azcardinals.com/news/detail.php?PRKey=2004]Official Site of the Arizona Cardinals[/url]

And this is from a conference call with Ken Whisenhunt

"On if quarterback Kurt Warner will play this week:
"There is a possibility. He went out today and tried to do some things. We have to try to figure out what he can and can't do and if we can get the stabilization of his elbow right. I think if we can find something, we will know a little bit more about that later in the week, but he is going to try and play. Once again we just have to see if we can work with something that can stabilize his elbow with the handoffs and some other things. I am optimistic that maybe he can play but until we get through the week I don't know for sure."

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

If he's "trying" to practice and needs stabilization of his elbow just to take handoffs, I'd say even IF he does start, he's one good hit away from leaving the game. We're looking at Tim Rattay for the majority, if not all of this game.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

I have faith in our defense regardless of who they have play QB. I need to see an ass kicking this weekend to regain my faith.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

If I was Warner i wouldn't want to play our defense with that elbow like that. so i would start Rattay

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

the cards are toast, doesnt matter who they start, players have to be pissed after last week.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

4-2. done. If there is a trap game this would be it. We should dominate this game.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

I'd rather see Rattay play than Warner.

But yeah, as for Springs, he should take all the time he wants. Whenever a man loses their father it's one of the most painful times in their life, because for most, not all of us, our father was there for us and helped teach us about life and guide us along the way. Ron Springs was def. there for his son and as he sits on his deathbed Shawn must be feeling the most pain out there.

Shawn won't play this weekend, I have no doubts about it. He wants to sit there with his father for as long as possible and everyone should just let him do what he wants right now. I do think that if he doesn't play, this will inspire his teammates to step up and play great for him.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

It won't matter who is QB'ing in this one.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

If us worrying about whether Warner plays or not decides between a win or a loss, we've got some major issues.

We shut down Brett Favre and John Kitna. I'd think those two were at least on par with how Warner is currently performing.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

If warner can play, he's shown enough to take some time from Leinart, so he can still do the job. Remember, they have great recievers & are now running the ball well. If our O can't sustain drives, they will score on us.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

My question is, how do they stand more of a chance of scoring on us than the Packers (even in Lambeau they got shut down) and the Lions who we totally dominated?

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

I don't care who they start at QB, bottom line is that the Skins have got to start scoring more than 14 points a game if they want to win.

This total reliance on the defense like we did in 2004 is rediculaus.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

Don't sleep on the Cards
They have some weapons on offense in James, Fitz and Boldin

Their d is playing well too.

I hope the skins are not looking to next week vs the Pats... this cardinals team has beat so people this season

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

I would much rather have Rattay in there instead of Warner. The Cards also get Anquan Boldin back this week, and we might be without Shawn Springs, and with our O-line in shambles this could be a very dangerous game.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

why is everyone freakin out about Warner playing?? he's not that good, he's old for cryin out loud.

And we dont need springs this week. WE NEED HIM NEXT WEEK AGAINST THE PATRIOTS IF ANYTHING

We don't need Springs this week?????? That is a ridiculous statment. I'm not sure if you're aware who Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, and Bryan Johnson are, but we can't afford to go into this game without our best CB against a receiving corp like that. If he is not back then we can only hope that Smoot, Macklin, and Torrence can step up in his place.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

we will get to warner....and once we do FUMBALIA

Wow, that is fantastic! I am going to start spelling it that way.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

Warner said he feels the most pain when he attempts to extend his arm to hand off.

So I could see this potentially happening. Rattay gets the start and hopes to at least keep the Cardinals close. In the second half (4th quarter maybe) Warner steps in and starts firing away, not worrying about the running game.

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

I wouldnt put it passed the Wizzzmeister.....he is crazy

Re: 980AM reports Warner to start!
 

[QUOTE]Coach Ken Whisenhunt indicated Wednesday that Kurt Warner (elbow) could play in Week 7 even if he doesn't start.
Warner reportedly had trouble handing off with his left hand during Wednesday's practice, so the team could use him to run a no-huddle, pass-heavy attack like he did in place of Matt Leinart earlier this season. "Obviously, we're not afraid to put the player in there if he fits a role for us," Whisenhunt said. "I think that's what this week is about. We're going to see how much Kurt can do, see if there is something he can do for us in the game."

Matty, did you like that spelling?! I was typing fast.

Seriously, do you think Warner will be in for all of the Cardinals "pass-only" plays because he can't hand off? Isn't that bad strategically? Redskins defense......."Hey guys, here comes Warner in the game for Rattay..... I guess they are passing on this next play!"
