Ben Patrick made a diving, sliding catch in the end zone to highlight Wednesday morning’s practice.
Patrick started to come on at the end of last season. If he can develop and Leonard Pope can continue to blossom, then the Cardinals’ tight end position should come out of its nearly 20-year dormant status.
 They really haven’t had an outstanding tight end since Jay Novacek, shortly after they moved to Arizona. Inexplicably, they gave him away. They’ve tried various combinations that have had little impact ever since.
 Also, it was nice to see the Cardinals give local player Brent Miller a shot at tight end. He didn’t make a whole lot of catches at ASU but some of them were huge.
 How many people remember his game-winner in overtime at Washington two years ago?
 ….
Matt Leinart says he was clueless? Yes, it’s true.
At his noon news conference, Leinart had this to say about his attempts to master Ken Whisenhunt’s offense last year:
“I know at this point last year, I had no clue. A little bit, but really had no clue what was going on.
“This year, I feel like I do. I have a command of the offense.”

…

At first center Al Johnson was supposed to take off one practice to rest a sore knee that was repaired in the off-season. Then he kept missing practices. Now, he’s heading back to Phoenix to have it checked out.

The offensive line is probaby the team’s one area where depth is considered an issue
