TEMPE Black Markus Golden Jersey , Ariz. — New Arizona ke McCoy said he will adjust his system to the abilities of whoever winds up being the team’s quarterback.He also said he has reached out to Larry Fitzgerald and talked to the wide receiver — who ranks third all-time in NFL receptions — about the offense McCoy will bring.Fitzgerald hasn’t publicly said he is returning for a 15th pro season but McCoy sure sounded like the receiver is a big part of the plans for the inaugural year under new Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks.“It was great to talk to him,” McCoy said at an introductory news conference Monday. “He’s excited.”McCoy, who served four seasons as head coach at San Diego, inherits an offense that has no quarterback on its roster. General manager Steve Keim and Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said they will be aggressive in finding one — or more — through free agency, trades and the draft.“It’s a great challenge,” McCoy said, “I’m excited for it, come in here and figure out who that quarterback’s going to be and build the system around those players that we have here.”The Cardinals were left without a quarterback when Carson Palmer announced his retirement, one day after head coach Bruce Arians also retired.McCoy repeatedly said he would build the offense around the abilities of the players.“The key thing I think as a coach and as the offensive coordinator is to find out what our players do best,” he said, “and we’ll adjust accordingly.”McCoy said he wants a quarterback “that’s going to win a lot of games.”“That’s one thing you always look at when you evaluate the quarterback position is his win-loss record or does he make a team better,” he said. “There are certain quarterbacks that are great quarterbacks, but aren’t on very good teams.”The quarterback needs to be a leader and be tough.“It’s all about winning,” McCoy said. “We want to get a guy that’s going to win a lot of games for us and be a leader, because they’re all different shapes and sizes. That doesn’t matter to me.”Wilks, who was defensive coordinator at Carolina last season after five years as the Panthers’ secondary coach Markus Golden Jersey 2019 , said he felt a connection during the offensive coordinator’s job interview.“I think it’s important that you have a coach that understands the vast range of players that he may have to coach,” Wilks said, “and most importantly understanding that we may teach a certain way but we have to communicate with these guys differently based off their talent level, the number of years they may have been in the league, whatever.”McCoy was offensive coordinator in Denver from 2009 through 2012. He interviewed for the vacant Cardinals head coaching position in 2013 before taking the Chargers job. McCoy was fired by the Chargers after the 2016 season and spent last year as offensive coordinator with the Broncos again.He will inherit one of the league’s best running backs in David Johnson, who broke his wrist in the opener and missed the rest of last season. Johnson led the NFL in yards from scrimmage and touchdowns in 2016.McCoy said Fitzgerald reminded him that Johnson is more than a ball carrier.“It’s not just going to be running it with him,” McCoy said. “When I talked to Larry the other day I made a comment and he said, `Coach, hold on now, this guy can run some routes for us, too, so let’s make sure we take advantage of that.'”Wilks’ entire coaching background is on defense but McCoy said the two of them will always be in close communication, especially during games. Bad penalties, bad decisions, bad coaching.And bad losses.They occurred all over the NFL on Sunday. The Jaguars , Cardinals Black Josh Rosen Jersey , Chargers and Falcons all will be shaking their heads the way their fans are about how they blew games. At least the Panthers went down gambling to win, missing a 2-point conversion — the pass play would have worked but Cam Newton missed a wide-open receiver in the end zone. The others either made suspect choices or played not to lose.And, naturally, they lost."This is as tough as it gets," Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell said after his bunch blew a 16-0 lead to Pittsburgh and lost on a last-second touchdown by Ben Roethliberger. "There are going to be some games you definitely lose and you'll definitely win. But when it comes down to that last play, and you're on the losing side of it, those hurt, especially in a situation where we're a desperate team in need of a win."And a team that got too many field goals, yet got comfortable with that 16-point edge. Jacksonville stopped being as aggressive as it had been earlier in dominating the Steelers, and pretty much dropped from postseason contention at 3-7."If people are in here and they're content — not saying anybody is — but if people are content with losing and things not going right," star cornerback Jalen Ramsey said, "then that's not the type of guys you want on the team and that's not the type of environment you want to have."The environment might be worse in Arizona, where first-year coach Steve Wilks saw his club make several critical errors down the stretch. That led to a 23-21 loss to Oakland, of all teams — the Raiders were the only team with just one victory heading into the weekend — that never should have been a defeat.A dropped pass by running back David Johnson hurt. An unnecessary roughness penalty against Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham cost 15 yards and stopped the game clock. On the next play, Johnson ran 57 yards for what was sure to be the clinching score, only to have the play called back on a holding call against tight end Ricky Seals-Jones.Two plays later Josh Rosen Jersey 2019 , the Cardinals punted. The Raiders drove 63 yards against a modified prevent defense and won as the clock expired on Daniel Carlson's 35-yard field goal."It was just a dumb play by me," Gresham, a nine-year veteran, said after the game. "I turned around and saw my guy on the ground. We're not coached to that. We're not taught that. They didn't bring me in here to do that, and it was stupid. I cost us the game."Not entirely, but he helped.The Chargers had plenty of culprits, too. Their six-game winning string ended when a conservative defense couldn't prevent Denver from going 86 yards in 1:51 for Brandon McManus‘ winning 34-yard field goal as time expired.Los Angeles made mistakes throughout, hardly looking like a wild-card front-runner. Philip Rivers threw two interceptions and on a third-down play on LA's final drive, he seemed to panic and threw the ball at a receiver's feet. That led to a punt, but also gave Denver more time for its final drive than it should have gotten.The Chargers committed 14 penalties, including 10 in the first half. Mike Badgley, who made three field goals, also missed an extra point. Denver won 23-22."The crucial mistakes that we've been able to stay away from, we didn't today," Rivers said.Championship candidates avoid those, especially against a weaker opponent.Atlanta has had plenty of reasons to struggle Deionte Thompson Arizona Cardinals Jersey , particularly a slew of early-season injuries that have worn on a good roster. But the Falcons had won three straight before a poor performance in Cleveland, and they exacerbated their issues with a difficult-to-watch showing late in a 22-19 loss to Dallas on Sunday.Four of the team's six losses have come either on the opponent's final possession or with the Falcons denied on their final opportunity. Simply put, the Falcons have folded under pressure."It's aggravating at the end of the day," said cornerback Robert Alford. "… We did do some good things today. We can't just hold our heads down. But at the end of the day we've got to learn to finish games."This time, the Cowboys had little difficulty moving 51 yards to Brett Maher's winning 42-yard kick.If your team is going to lose late, at least do it the way Carolina did — going for it, not backing off or making egregious errors."When you make some errors we made today in critical moments, you open yourselves up to get beat, and that's what happened today," Rivers said. "We had every opportunity to close it out, and we just didn't get it done."
