Cardinals' receiver Anquan Boldin rested comfortably at home on Monday after being carted off the field in the team's loss to the Jets. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said he believed safety Eric Smith's hit violated a safety edict issued by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "I think it's one of the hits that falls into the category of being dangerous to players," Whisenhunt said Monday. "Certainly, I'm sure that the league is going to look at this and will address it." Although the NFL declined to comment, it routinely looks at any questionable hit that may have violated the rule. All of Boldin's tests came out favorable, but his status for Week Five in uncertain.

Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin was carted off the field on Sunday after a helmet-to-helmet collision in the end zone. Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt said Boldin was alert and moving his extremities after the hit. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital for precautionary reasons. Boldin tried to catch a pass from Kurt Warner, but was hit in the back and then took a shot to his helmet from the Jets' Eric Smith. Teammate Larry Fitzgerald immediately waved to the sideline for help. The entire Cardinals team surrounded Boldin as the crowd at Giants Stadium fell silent. Smith, also injured on the play, was able to get up after a few moments. "He asked to get up and the doctors won't let him," Whisenhunt said.

Using my custom position-by-position Field Impact Counter (FIC) we can safely and accurately rank quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends by an objective statistical measurement. The importance placed on specific positions is far different in football than it is in basketball, baseball, and hockey. Because of this, we have separated salaries by position instead of having a single common pool. Quarterbacks are compared to quarterbacks. Running backs are compared to running backs. Wide receivers are compared to wide receivers. There are only four positions on the football field where we can truly use statistics to rank a player?s performance in the same ways we can for the other three major sports. Intangibles such as how a running back picks up the blitz or how well a wide receiver blocks for his downfield runners do not appear on stat sheets and in order to get a truly objective statistical ranking, these elements are unfortunately overlooked. Players are ranked from highest to lowest by the total FIC for the season, not per game because players only give contribute to a team when they are playing. * More information about the FIC at the bottom of this article. Beside each player?s actual salary, we slide in raw cap value figures of the position, ranked top to bottom, which determines their ?deserved? salary. The player who has the highest FIC receives the highest ?deserved? salary. The player with the second highest FIC receives the second highest salary. The player with the hundredth highest FIC receives the hundredth highest salary. We then calculate the percentage increase or decrease from the actual and deserved and that figure becomes their Reina Value. The Reina Value is a valuation system that quickly determines how players perform in relation to their contracts or in the case of the NFL, their cap value. - Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, and Tony Romo comprise 4/5's of the FIC top-five, and we are a few weeks away from having a true changing of the guard at the quarterback position. Because of the horrible weather in Cleveland and a blowout in Week 1, Roethlisberger doesn't have the attempts to be among the leaders in the FIC category, but he is the current leader in QB rating with 136.3 and 51.5% of his passes having been for first downs. All five of these quarterbacks are under 30 and have QB ratings over 100. Peyton Manning has a rating of 77.5, while Carson Palmer is at a panic button low of 37.1. Cutler leads the NFL in passing yards with 325 and tied with his buddy Rivers in touchdown passes with six. - Donovan McNabb is currently 3rd, and he's a DeSean Jackson blunder away from being 2nd on this list. The mobility he has shown within the pocket and eluding potential sacks against the Cowboys has been vintage McNabb that was getting the Eagles to the NFC Championship on a seemingly annual basis. - J.T. O'Sullivan has completed more passes over 25 yards (7) than any other quarterback in the NFL. - I'm not sure if we're all there yet on how to properly evaluate Reggie Bush, but I think we're getting close and this statistic does not even factor in his impact as a punt returner. The 3.3 yards per carry is a drop from his already problematic career mark of 3.6, but he is 14th in the entire NFL in receiving yards (175). - Adrian Peterson scored his first touchdown of his rookie season on a 60-yard touchdown pass out of the backfield. Over the first two weeks he caught five balls for 112 yards, but this season he has caught five balls for just 31 yards. He is being identified and shadowed by opposing defenses on every play no matter if he gets a carry or not. - The Eagles limited Marion Barber to just 63 yards on 18 carries (3.5 YPC), but he caught four balls for 51 yards. Barber very rarely caught balls out of the backfield in his first two and a half seasons, but since Week 14 last season when he caught 10 against the Lions, he has been looked at more and more by Romo. - Brian Westbrook leads all rushers with 13 first downs on the ground. - Willie Parker currently leads all backs with carries and is on pace for 424 this season which is almost 100 more than his previous highs in 2007 and 2006. - Jonathan Stewart has been the much better back in Carolina through the first two weeks of the season and was used primarily in the second half against Chicago. - FIC leader Anquan Boldin leads the NFL with yards after catch with 134. - The era of a dominant Calvin Johnson appears to be upon us already in Week 2 of his second season. He has over 100 yards in each of his first two games this season- last year he didn't reach the plateau until Week 15 in San Diego. - Greg Jennings leads the NFL in receiving yards with 258 (23.5 yards per reception) but still has not found the end zone. - Eagles' rookie DeSean Jackson is a *cough* fumble away from being several slots higher on this list. The fact that he and Eddie Royal are 6th and 8th, ahead of Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, and Torry Holt is an improbability nobody saw coming on April 26th. - Brandon Marshall has played in just one game but leads the NFL in receptions with 18. Not surprisingly with that kind of haul of passes, Marshall is averaging 9.2 yards per reception- his career average is 12.9. - Is there really much doubt that Jason Witten is the best tight end in the game? He is a true tight end in that he actually is a useful blocker, and he has 70 more yards than Tony Scheffler, who is second in yards. Nine of his 13 catches are for first downs as Romo is constantly looking for 82. - It always looked like Jeff Samardzija would catching passes on Sundays, but while he may end up pitching in the World Series, former Notre Dame teammate John Carlson has caught 10 balls for 130 yards through his first two games to become Matt Hasselbeck's most reliable healthy target. - Antonio Gates, Kellen Winslow, and Tony Gonzalez are bunched together at four, five and six, but while Winslow and Gonzalez are averaging 8.5 yards per reception, Gates is at 15.3. Gonzalez has been in double-digits every year of the 11 seasons he has on the books while Winslow led all tight ends who had at least 300 yards in the category with 13.5 in 2007.

It isn't easy to keep tabs on every one of the fifteen games being played in the NFL in Week Two, but RealGM is here to help summarize all that has gone down while highlighting a number of unique statistical leaders and trends. We will showcase each game's top FIC (field impact counter) performers using RealGM editor Chris Reina's innovative statistical system, and calculate each team?s Trench Counter. Explanations of both are listed at the end of this week?s recaps. Washington 29, New Orleans 24 Team Trench Counter: Redskins +21.4, Saints -21.4 The Washington Redskins rallied to score fourteen points in the fourth quarter and steal a win away from the visiting New Orleans Saints. Jason Campbell hooked up with Santana Moss for a 67-yard touchdown with 3:29 left in the game to secure the victory. Campbell finished with 321 yards and a touchdown on 24-for-36 passing while Clinton Portis exploded for 96 rushing yards and a pair of scores. The Saints held a 17-9 lead midway through the third quarter before both their offense and defense began to falter. Drew Brees was 22-for-33 with 216 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions on the day. Washington held New Orleans to just 55 rushing yards, with Reggie Bush tallying 28 yards on ten carries. Bush added 63 yards receiving to his total while Robert Meachem caught just one pass, a touchdown, for nineteen yards in the loss. The Redskins forced three turnovers, all collected by safety Chris Horton while committing just one. Game FIC Scores - Jason Campbell, WSH: 62 - Drew Brees, NO: 49 - Clinton Portis, WSH: 34 - Reggie Bush, NO: 46 - Santana Moss, WSH: 101 N.Y. Giants 41, St. Louis 13 Team Trench Counter: Giants +18.2, Rams -18.2 The New York Giants improved to 2-0 on the season, becoming the second-straight NFC East team to light up the St. Louis Rams for more than forty points. Eli Manning went 20-for-29 with 260 yards and three touchdowns, and the Giants? defense recorded six sacks and returned an interception for a touchdown (Justin Tuck). Brandon Jacobs led New York on the ground, rushing for 93 yards while Ahmad Bradshaw tallied 70 total yards and two scores. The Rams couldn?t stop Manning on offense while Marc Bulger and Steven Jackson failed to get in a groove offensively. Bulger was 20-for-32 with just 177 passing yards, one touchdown and an interception while Jackson rushed thirteen times for 53 yards. Torry Holt led St. Louis, catching six of Bugler?s passes for 76 yards and a touchdown. Donnie Jones has already punted sixteen times for the Rams this season. Game FIC Scores - Eli Manning, NYG: 65 - Marc Bulger, STL: 35 - Brandon Jacobs, NYG: 40 - Steven Jackson, STL: 44 - Plaxico Burress, NYG: 55 - Amani Toomer, NYG: 44 - Torry Holt, STL: 51 Indianapolis 18, Minnesota 15 Team Trench Counter: Colts -9.6, Vikings +9.6 Trailing 15-0 with just less than two minutes left in the third quarter, the Indianapolis Colts rallied to score eighteen-straight points and record their first win of the young season. Peyton Manning, who struggled in the first half, finished the game with 311 yards, one touchdown, and two miscues on 26-for-42 passing. Minnesota kept the Colts? rushing attack off balance, as they managed just 20 yards on the ground, but Joseph Addai punched in a key one-yard score late in the third to begin the team?s comeback. Second-year receiver Anthony Gonzalez hooked up with Manning nine times for 137 yards and converted a lateral to Reggie Wayne after a huge gain to set up Addai?s one-yard touchdown. Adrian Peterson compiled 160 yards against the Colts, but all the Vikings could manage were five field goals on offense. Tarvaris Jackson, who was booed at times by the home fans, went 14-for-24 with just 130 yards through the air. The Vikings, considered a dark horse to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, are winless through Week Two. Game FIC Scores - Peyton Manning, IND: 58 - Tarvaris Jackson, MIN: 22 - Adrian Peterson, MIN: 72 - Joseph Addai, IND: 11 - Anthony Gonzalez, IND: 85 - Reggie Wayne, IND: 61 Oakland 23, Kansas City 9 Team Trench Counter: Raiders +5.2, Chiefs -5.2 Darren McFadden exploded for the Oakland Raiders on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie running back had 164 yards on the ground, including both a 50-yard burst and a 19-yard touchdown. JaMarcus Russell went 6-for-17 for Oakland, tallying 55 passing yards in the victory. Michael Bush combined with McFadden to pace the Raiders, notching 90 yards and a touchdown on sixteen carries. Damon Huard suffered a head injury early on, throwing just four passes in the loss, leaving Tyler Thigpen to led Kansas City?s offense. Thigpen, who entered the season as the team?s third-string quarterback behind Brodie Croyle and Huard, went 14-for-33 with 151 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Larry Johnson had just 22 rushing yards, leading the Chiefs? rushing attack, while Dwayne Bowe caught six passes for 90 yards in the loss. Game FIC Scores - JaMarcus Russell, OAK: 8 - Darren McFadden, OAK: 67 - Larry Johnson, KC: 4 - Dwayne Bowe, KC: 55 Buffalo 20, Jacksonville 16 Team Trench Counter: Bills +7, Jaguars -7 Down 16-10 with less than five minutes remaining, the Buffalo Bills mounted a furious comeback over the final four minutes to knock off the Jacksonville Jaguars. Trent Edwards was 20-for-25 with 239 yards and one touchdown while Marshawn Lynch tallied 59 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo?s win. The Bills defense kept David Garrard and the Jaguars in check, sacking the quarterback twice and grabbing an interception. Garrard went 17-for-28 with 165 yards and the aforementioned pick while Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor combined for 82 yards on twenty carries. The Jaguars, who had to fight back with thirteen-straight points between the third and fourth quarters to take the lead, couldn?t hold off the hungry Bills. Edwards connected with rookie receiver James Hardy for a 7-yard score with 4:10 left to put Buffalo on top for good. Game FIC Scores - Trent Edwards, BUF: 49 - David Garrard, JAX: 43 - Marshawn Lynch, BUF: 24 - Maurice Jones-Drew, JAX: 20 - Fred Jackson, BUF: 57 Green Bay 48, Detroit 25 Team Trench Counter: Packers +10.2, Lions -10.2 Aaron Rodgers looked incredibly strong in the first half against the Detroit Lions, and the Green Bay Packers withheld a surge to begin the Post Brett Favre Era with a 2-0 record. Rodgers went 24-for-38 with 328 yards and three touchdowns, outplaying Jon Kitna, who was 21-for-41 with 276 yards, two touchdowns and three costly interceptions. Green Bay jumped out to a 21-0 lead, before Detroit rallied to score 25 of the game?s next 28 points and take a 25-24 lead midway through the fourth. The Packers' defense then took over, scoring a pair of touchdowns on interception returns (Charles Woodson, Nick Collins) to put the game away. Brandon Jackson rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown while Ryan Grant managed just 20 yards on fifteen carries. He was hampered by a hamstring injury in the days leading up to the game. Greg Jennings, who appears to be Rodgers? favorite target, caught six passes for 167 yards. Calvin Johnson was the lone star for the Lions, catching six passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Game FIC Scores - Aaron Rodgers, GB: 83 - Jon Kitna, DET: 52 - Kevin Smith, DET: 28 - Calvin Johnson, DET: 84 - Donald Driver, GB: 41 - Greg Jennings, GB: 93 Tennessee 24, Cincinnati 3 Team Trench Counter: Titans +10.2, Bengals -10.2 Kerry Collins managed the game perfectly for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, leading them to an impressive win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Collins, who was 14-for-21 with 128 yards and a touchdown, gave the ball to Chris Johnson or LenDale White 32 times on offense. Johnson ran for 109 yards while White tallied 59 on the ground and added a touchdown in the victory. Carson Palmer looked lost on the field, going 16-for-27 with 134 yards and two interceptions in the loss, while running back Chris Perry contributed 64 yards and a score on 21 carries. Chad Johnson, 37 receiving yards, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, 26 yards, couldn?t bail Palmer out downfield, dropping the Bengals to 0-2 on the season. The Tennessee defense recorded one sack, two interceptions and three forced-fumbles in the win. Game FIC Scores - Kerry Collins, TEN: 41 - Carson Palmer, CIN: 22 - Chris Johnson, TEN: 51 - Chad Johnson, CIN: 25 Carolina 20, Chicago 17 Team Trench Counter: Panthers +5, Bears -5 Rookie running back Jonathan Stewart carried the Carolina Panthers to a tight win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, tallying 77 yards and two touchdowns to lead the offense. Jake Delhomme went 12-for-21 with 128 passing yards and an interception, as the Panthers are still without top wide receiver Steve Smith (suspension). The Carolina defense helped pick up the slack, sacking Kyle Orton once and forcing a pair of fumbles. Orton was just 19-for-32 on the afternoon with 149 passing yards. Matt Forte, another rookie phenom, rushed for 92 yards on 23 carries but wasn?t able to shoulder the entire offensive load. Marty Booker, who was looking for a bigger role in the offense, caught just one pass for four yards in the loss. Tight end Greg Olson, who was responsible for both Chicago?s fumbles, hauled in just two passes for a mere seven yards. The Bears? defense, which kept Peyton Manning and the Colts under wraps in Week One, had three sacks and an interception. Game FIC Scores - Jake Delhomme, CAR: 16 - Kyle Orton, CHI: 25 - Matt Forte, CHI: 55 - Jonathan Stewart, CAR: 40 Tampa Bay 24, Atlanta 9 Team Trench Counter: Buccaneers +5.4, Falcons -5.4 Brian Griese, starting in place of the ?injured? Jeff Garcia, led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a key victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Griese went 18-for-31 with 160 passing yards and a touchdown while Earnest Graham and Warrick Dunn powered the Buccaneers on the ground. Graham tallied 116 rushing yards and a touchdown while Dunn added 49 yards and a score of his own in the win. Tampa Bay pestered rookie quarterback Matt Ryan all afternoon long, sacking him four times, forcing one fumble, and grabbing two interceptions. Ryan, who excelled in his debut last week, was 13-for-33 with 158 yards and the two picks. The Buccaneers held Michael Turner in check as well, limiting him to 42 yards on fourteen carries. Tampa Bay led 17-0 before Atlanta scored nine-straight points. However, Graham punched in a 68-yard touchdown late in the fourth to put the game out of reach. Game FIC Scores - Brian Griese, TB: 32 - Matt Ryan, ATL: 16 - Michael Turner, ATL: 12 - Earnest Graham, TB: 57 - Warrick Dunn, TB: 35 New England 19, N.Y. Jets 10 Team Trench Counter: Patriots +8.9, Jets -8.9 Matt Cassel was victorious in his debut as the starting quarterback of the New England Patriots, leading the team over the rival New York Jets. Cassel was 16-for-23 with 165 passing yards but looked comfortable for the most part despite getting sacked three times by the Jets. LaMont Jordan accumulated 62 rushing yards for the Patriots, who lost Laurence Maroney to injury for a majority of the game. Wes Welker provided a blanket of security for Cassel, catching seven passes for 72 yards in the victory. Randy Moss wasn?t targeted often early on, finishing the game with two catches for 22 yards. The difference in the game was the one mistake Brett Favre made, an interception in the third quarter. Favre finished the game 18-for-26 with 181 yards, one touchdown and the aforementioned turnover. Thomas Jones, who famously struggles against New England, had 70 yards on the ground in the loss. Game FIC Scores - Brett Favre, NYJ: 39 - Matt Cassel, NE: 33 - Thomas Jones, NYJ: 24 - Randy Moss, NE: 14 - Laveranues Coles, NYJ; 42 San Francisco 33, Seattle 30 Team Trench Counter: 49ers +10.3, Seahawks -10.3 J.T. O?Sullivan bested Matt Hasselbeck in the San Francisco 49ers? dramatic win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. O?Sullivan went 20-for-32 with 321 yards and a touchdown while Hasselbeck was just 18-for-36 with 189 yards and two interceptions. Frank Gore added 61 yards on the ground for the 49ers, including a touchdown while O?Sullivan scrambled for 32 yards of his own. Isaac Bruce caught four passes for 153 yards, and Bryant Johnson added 78 yards and a touchdown for San Francisco. Julius Jones helped give Seattle a chance, running for 127 yards and a touchdown, but the Seahawks couldn?t make up for Hasselbeck?s mistakes. Seattle?s defense tallied eight sacks in the loss, and Craig Terrill returned a fumble for a touchdown in the first quarter to give the Seahawks a 14-0 lead, which the 49ers erased with a huge third quarter before winning the game on a 40-yard field goal by Joe Nedney in overtime. Game FIC Scores - J.T. O'Sullivan, SF: 68 - Matt Hasselbeck, SEA: 36 - Frank Gore, SF: 38 - Julius Jones, SEA: 59 Denver 39, San Diego 38 Team Trench Counter: Broncos +0.8, Chargers -0.8 Jay Cutler and Philip Rivers engaged in a memorable duel on Sunday afternoon, but it all ended with a spectacular win by the Denver Broncos over the San Diego Chargers. Cutler went 36-for-50 with 350 yards, four touchdowns and one interception, meanwhile, Rivers posted 377 yards, three touchdowns and a pick of his own on 21-for-33 passing. Selvin Young was the game?s leading rusher with 78 yards, as San Diego?s LaDainian Tomlinson was limited to just ten carries because of a toe injury. Darren Sproles held his own in relief of Tomlinson, rushing for 53 yards and catching a 66-yard touchdown pass from Rivers to give the Chargers a late seven-point lead. Denver had just 4:22 left to reach the end zone, but Cutler had a little bit more magic left in his arm. The Broncos marched down the field efficiently, and Cutler hooked up with rookie Eddie Royal for a touchdown with just twenty-four seconds left in regulation. Rather than go for the tie at home, Mike Shanahan opted to go for two and the victory. Cutler connected with Royal in the end zone yet again, and without any timeouts San Diego was unable to get into field goal range before time expired. Game FIC Scores - Jay Cuter, DEN: 93 - Philip Rivers, SD: 81 - Brandon Marshall, DEN: - LaDainian Tomlinson, SD: 13 - Brandon Marshall, DEN: 111 - Chris Chambers, SD: 59 - Tony Scheffler, DEN: 52 Arizona 31, Miami 10 Team Trench Counter: Cardinals +19.2, Dolphins -19.2 Kurt Warner played so well for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon that Matt Leinart worked his way into the game late in the fourth quarter against the Miami Dolphins. Warner had 361 passing yards and three touchdowns in the team?s victory, while Leinart went 1-for-2 with 15 yards in garbage duty at the end of the game. All three of Warner?s touchdown strikes went to Anquan Boldin, who finished with 140 receiving yards. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona?s other elite pass-catcher, had 153 yards of his own. Chad Pennington wasn?t horrible for the Dolphins, going 10-for-20 with 112 passing yards, but Chad Henne got some game action in the fourth quarter, finishing 7-for-12 with 67 yards. Neither team excelled on the ground ? Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown combined for 53 yards and a touchdown for Miami, while Edgerrin James and Tim Hightower had 79 rushing yards and a touchdown between them for Arizona. Both defenses had a pair of sacks and a forced fumble, but it was the Cardinals? air attack that was the difference all game long. Game FIC Scores - Kurt Warner, ARI: 80 - Chad Pennington, MIA: 19 - Edgerrin Jams, ARI: 12 - Ronnie Brown, MIA: 21 - Anquan Boldin, ARI: 96 - Larry Fitzgerald, ARI: 86 Pittsburgh 10, Cleveland 6 Team Criticials Counter: Steelers: 15.0, Browns: -15.0 The Pittsburgh Steelers outlasted the Cleveland Browns on Sunday night, winning a defensive battle on the road. Ben Roethlisberger was 12-for-19 in light rain, with 186 yards and a touchdown. Derek Anderson struggled for the Browns yet again, going 18-for-32 with 166 yards and two interceptions. Cleveland?s starting quarterback has struggled since the final week of the 2007 season, when he cost the Browns a chance to make the postseason. Willie Parker rushed for 105 yards and Santonio Holmes had 94 receiving yards in the victory. Hines Ward, who caught 5 passes for 59 yards, was the recipient of Roethlisberger?s touchdown strike. Pittsburgh?s defense limited Cleveland?s production on the ground as well, limiting Jamal Lewis to 38 rushing yards. Kellen Winslow led the Browns with seven catches and 55 receiving yards while Braylon Edwards has just 32 yards in the loss. Game FIC Scores - Ben Roethlisberger, PIT: 35 - Derek Anderson, CLE: 28 - Jamal Lewis, CLE: 20 - Willie Parker, PIT: 29 - Braylon Edwards, CLE: 22 - Hines Ward, PIT: 43 - Santonio Holmes, PIT: 56 - Kellen Winslow, CLE: 37 Dallas 41, Philadelphia 37 Team Criticials Counter: Cowboys -4.1, Eagles 4.1 The Dallas Cowboys outlasted the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night in one of the highest-scoring games in Monday Night Football history. The two teams combined to score 54 points in the first half of their 98th meeting. The Eagles led 37-31 early in the fourth quarter, but the Cowboys finally figured out Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook as they shut them down and scored ten-straight points to earn the victory. Tony Romo, who fumbled in the end zone, leading to a Philadelphia score in the second quarter, went 21-for-30 with 312 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Terrell Owens, fired up to play against his former team, caught three passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns. He now stands alone in second-place on the all-time touchdown reception list behind Jerry Rice. Marion Barber tallied 114 total yards and a pair of touchdowns in the victory as well. McNabb, who was 25-for-37 with 281 yards and a touchdown, moved the ball effectively down the field through the first three quarters. Westbrook had 102 total yards and three touchdowns, but couldn't handle a botched hand-off from McNabb in the fourth quarter and fumbled, which led to the Cowboys' game-winning score. Rookie receiver DeSean Jackson had 110 receiving yards for the Eagles, becoming just the second player in NFL history to begin his career with two games of 100-plus yards receiving. Jason Witten was Romo's biggest target, catching seven passes for 110 yards in the win. Explanations Explaining The Trench Counter The NFL Reina Value

Anquan Boldin's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Friday that Plaxico Burress' new contract with the Giants won't affect the situation for the Cardinals' receiver. "Anquan's position right now has been well-documented," Rosenhaus said. "He's not interested in doing a new contract with the team. That (Burress' deal) will have no bearing on his situation." Rosenhaus said Boldin won't be re-signing with the Cardinals. "Essentially that bridge has been blown up," Rosenhaus said. "He's looking to play as hard as he can for the club, for his teammates, but the sooner he is traded the better." Boldin has requested a trade and would like to be dealt before the Oct. 14 trading deadline, Rosenhaus said. If a trade isn't made by then, "we are banking on that happening this off-season," Rosenhaus said. "He (Boldin) has said to me that will not change."

Cardinals' Coach Ken Whisenhunt believes that young quarterback Matt Leinart has a future as a starter in the NFL, according to East Valley Tribune. Whisenhunt has opted to start the aging Kurt Warner in the team's season opener over Leinart. "He's a good football player," said Whisenhunt. "He's made great progress. When it's his turn to play, I'm confident he'll do well." Warner appears to feel the same way. "I hope Matt believes I'm not just a has-been quarterback that can't play. I want him to believe I'm one of the better quarterbacks in this league, and he played very well," Warner said.
