Fans To Welcome Warner
The St Louis Rams will want to beat the Cardinals at home on Sunday, to get one over on their divisional opponent and get a 50% record (5-5) for the season. There is a nice twist to this game in the form of the return of Kurt Warner, who was a league MVP while with the Rams in 1999 and 2001 and led them to two Super Bowls.
Warner was let go in 2004, paving the way for Marc Bulger in the quarterback role. But Warner is still popular with St. Louis fans.
"I'm sure he'll have a favorable one (reception), coming back for the first time. He's going to be playing.... I'm sure he'll get a nice reception here." Defensive end Tyoka Jackson added, "He did something for this city that had probably never been done before, the way they turned that thing around."
But there is obviously not doubt that Warner will be doing his best to upset his old team.
"He's going to try to beat us, make no mistake about it. He's been on a roll these past two weeks. He's thrown for somewhere around 700 yards, something close to that. We have to make sure we're ready to play when we step into the dome."
Still, the Cardinals are just 2-7, not a great season by Warner's standards. But he is still a great passer of the ball. He has had three 300-yard games. Losing to the the Lions and the Seahawks, Warner passed for 693 yards, but has had just two touchdowns.
