The Facts:
During training camp last summer, newly hired HC Ken Whisenhunt told Leinart to "pick up his game." Leinart, who is returning from an injury-shortened season, is hoping to show the coaching staff that he's doing just that. He has spent much of the offseason working on basics such as footwork and throwing technique. "I'm more precise in my decisions," Leinart said. "The ball's coming out faster. My footwork's been a lot better. I feel a lot stronger than I ever have. And mentally, I'm more focused."

Whisenhunt said he's noticed the difference. "His technique, his footwork, even his throwing motion -- things that we've been working on are all a lot easier for him now because he's more comfortable with everything," the coach said. ... A first-round pick in 2006, Leinart has thrown 13 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions in 17 NFL games.
