Green: Warner to remain starting quarterback

? Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said Tuesday.

Green responded to Monday’s ESPN report that said he decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner for Sunday’s game at Atlanta.

“Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do,” Green said in a statement released by the team. “However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We’re disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us.”
