measure and Sam Bradford knows that Elite Christian Kirk Jersey , as the quarterback, he takes the lion’s share of the blame.“I think as a quarterback, you always take ownership of the offense,” Bradford said after practice Wednesday. “To be honest, I don’t really pay attention to what’s being said outside this building. I just know however I do it, I’ve got to figure out a way to get this offense going. Find ways to make plays, find ways to get us going, and that’s how I’ve tried to approach it this week.”The offensive statistics of the winless Cardinals through two games are the worst in the NFL.The team has scored one touchdown, a short run by David Johnson in the season-opening 24-6 home loss to Washington. Last week, in a 34-0 drubbing by the Rams in Los Angeles, Bradford completed 17 of 27 passes but for only 90 yards. Through his first two games as Arizona’s quarterback, he has completed 37 of 61 for 243 yards with no TDs and two interceptions. That’s a passer rating of 55.6.The Cardinals didn’t get past midfield against the Rams until the next-to-last play of the game.“You put so much time in in the offseason, in training camp, during the regular season, during practice, during your film study that you want to go out and you want to play well,” Bradford said Game Christian Kirk Jersey , “and when you don’t, I think it’s very frustrating just given the amount of time and the amount of effort that you put into it.“So it’s definitely been a frustrating two weeks but I think you look at it as a challenge, look at it as a way to find a solution , to keep battling, to keep competing and find a way to get better.”Not that a fix will be easy. Next up is a Sunday home game against Khalil Mack and the Chicago Bears.This kind of start to a season naturally triggered speculation from the grumbling Arizona fan base that rookie Josh Rosen should take over at quarterback. That isn’t happening, yet anyway.“Sam, right now, is the quarterback, as I’ve stated before,” coach Steve Wilks said. “I don’t think it’s just the quarterback position. I think we have some issues across the board in all three phases, and we’re working on those issues. I think we’ve done a great job of trying to correct those issues, starting with trying to simplify things with the game plan, allowing guys to play fast. That’s what I saw today. Guys executing, doing the little things right. So no, Sam’s the guy.”Bradford has had some problems with accuracy, usually a strong point of his game. Asked if he’s playing cautiously because he’s coming off yet another knee injury, he said Christian Kirk Womens Jersey , “I don’t believe so. I would say, ‘No,’ to that.”The Cardinals have scaled back the game plan and simplified things offensively.The idea, Bradford said, is to “just make sure that the plays that we have in the game plan everyone’s comfortable with versus multiple looks. Just really feel like we own the plays that are in the game that week as opposed to having so many calls on the sheet that maybe we know them but we’re not owning them the way that we should.“I think the thought is just allow everyone to go out there and play faster, simplify everything a little bit and hopefully it shows up in the speed in which we play.”And they’ve got to keep giving the ball to Johnson, who has yet to break the big plays that were his trademark two years ago, before a wrist injury wiped out virtually all of last season.“I think with Dave, if you give him enough opportunities he’s eventually going to make a play,” Bradford said. “I think it’s just staying committed to finding ways to get him the ball.”Notes: TE Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) and DE Markus Golden (knee) participated fully in practice Wednesday, increasing the likelihood that both will make their season debut Sunday. Both are coming off surgery. … WR Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) didn’t practice but is expected to play, Wilks said. … The Cardinals signed LB Joe Walker off Philadelphia’s practice squad. He played in 12 games, three as a starter, with the Eagles last season, accumulating 13 tackles.___ TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — A bad season got much worse for the Arizona Cardinals with a home loss to Oakland.Embattled first-year coach Steve Wilks is mulling some changes, although he didn’t say what they were Youth Christian Kirk Jersey , and there’s only so much the Cardinals can do considering their injuries and the overall state of their roster.“Right now, being 2-8, you’re open to a lot of things from a standpoint of personnel changes, things that you think will give us an opportunity to be successful and win a football game,” Wilks said at his Monday news conference.Sunday’s 23-21 loss left three teams tied for the worst record in the NFL: the Cardinals, Oakland and San Francisco. And the remaining schedule is formidable for the Cardinals.They play at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, followed by a trip to Green Bay the following week. There are also games at Atlanta and the season finale at Seattle. Arizona has only two remaining home games — Dec. 9 against Detroit and Dec. 23 against the Los Angeles Rams.The Cardinals’ chances for many more, if any, victories seem slim, especially if play doesn’t improve.“It’s not playing smart, just beating ourselves,” veteran safety Antoine Bethea said after the game. “That’s the most frustrating thing about it. Week in and week out, it’s just like the same thing.”A positive aspect of the mistake-laded Arizona effort was the continued resurgence of David Johnson.The dynamic back rushed for a season-best 137 yards, 53 of them on a run that set up Josh Rosen’s 5-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald that put Arizona up 21-20 with 5:02 to play. Johnson had a 57-yard touchdown run called back by a holding call against tight end Ricky Seals-Jones.It was one of several Arizona mistakes in the game’s final minutes. Jermaine Gresham was called for unnecessary roughness and Josh Bynes dropped an interception.The Cardinals allowed Oakland, with no timeouts, to drive 63 yards in the final 1:53, setting up Daniel Carlson’s decisive 35-yard field goal as the game ended.Rosen threw for three touchdowns — two to Fitzgerald — but was intercepted twice Christian Kirk Men Jersey , both picks leading to first-half touchdowns. Rosen had only nine completions in 20 attempts for 136 yards.“I think a lot of it is just the mental errors across the board on offense and defense,” Rosen said of the team’s performance. “I know I had a bunch. Just little mental errors that aren’t a part of the game plan. Dumb little things we just have to clean up overall.”Why is a team making those mistakes 10 games into a season? Nobody seemed to have a good answer.“That’s why it’s an issue that was brought up because it’s very late in the season,” Rosen said. “That’s a good point.”It’s been a rough introduction for Wilks to life as an NFL head coach.“No. 1, you have to learn how to persevere,” he said. “It’s tough. You have to learn how to hit the reset button and not linger on things because, once again, one loss can turn into two. I try to pull out the positives and try to learn from the negative stuff and try to get those guys to see the big picture.”Wilks said he knew it would be a tough job when he was hired.“Did I expect to be where we are? No, but again you have to learn how to persevere” he said. “You have to learn how to continue to push and be that example. I am not going to quit. That’s what I just told the guys, and neither are they. We’re going to find a way to get on track and win a football game.”Arizona was last 2-8 in 2006. That team finished 5-11 and coach Dennis Green was fired.Notes: The Cardinals released kicker Matt McCrane, who had been signed Saturday and was active for the Raiders game in place of Phil Dawson, who had been bothered by a hip injury. Dawson is fine and will be back this week, Wilks said. … Wilks said LB Deone Bucannon sustained a chest contusion in the game and it’s not known how much time he might miss.
