Pats Pregame

FOXBORO - We're about 80 minutes from kickoff at Gillette Stadium.

There are currently more Cardinals on the field than Patriots. Among the Cards is rookie quarterback Matt Leinart who signed earlier in the week. He's throwing to tight end Leonard Pope and fullback John Bronson. ... Patriots safety Rodney Harrison is in a t-shirt and shorts. Most of the other Pats on the field are in t-shirts and their game pants as they work out. That's an indication Harrison -- who's still working back from a severe knee injury -- will not play tonight. ... Leinart just left the field. As he was leaving, he encountered Cardinals offensive line coach Steve Loney who was smirking at the TV cameras filming Leinart's departure from the field (they were trying to get the coveted "ground-up" angle on Leinart). Leinart smiled and seemed to try to embrace Loney who was opting for a simple pregame handshake. Fellas, either hug or don't hug but get on the same page. ....
