very, very, very low:That is, to use the parlanc

Another blowout loss has left Steve Wilks on even shakier ground as first-year coach of the Arizona Cardinals.The 40-14 defeat in Atlanta to a 4-9 Falcons team left the Cardinals at 3-11.They face the Los Angeles Rams Los Angeles Rams Jerseys 2019 , who beat the Cardinals 34-0 in Week 2, in their final home game. That's followed by the season finale at Seattle.Prospects do not seem good. Arizona could well be headed to a 3-13 season, matching the Cardinals' worst since the franchise moved from St. Louis 30 years ago.With a dissatisfied fan base and a team showing little or no improvement through the season, team President Michael Bidwill 鈥?who takes great pride in making the franchise relevant after years of losing 鈥?could decide that he can't afford to give Wilks a second season to prove his worth."I really don't listen to the outside noise," Wilks said Monday of speculation about his job status. "I wake up every morning blessed, and I come in here with my nose down and just grind away, trying to get these coaches and players all on the same page and looking to try to get a win. That's my focus."The only other time Arizona has lost 13 games came in 2000, when Vince Tobin was fired seven games into the season and replaced by Dave McGinnis.The Cardinals took an early 7-0 lead in Atlanta Infant David Edwards Jersey , then the Falcons scored 40 unanswered points. Wilks mercifully benched rookie quarterback Josh Rosen late in the game and backup Mike Glennon got the team in the end zone.But Wilks reiterated that Rosen would start the final two games, even though he's under constant assault by defenses behind a makeshift offensive line that has lost four starters to injuries and wasn't all that effective to begin with."Yesterday, I felt the need to take him out based off where we were in the game," Wilks said. "He didn't like that. He was disappointed a little bit, wanted to stay in there. Sometimes with great players like that, you have to help them help themselves, but moving forward, we're not going to take a defeated attitude and say that we're going to put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season."Like most of the rest of the team David Edwards Jersey nfl draft , Rosen hasn't seemed to get much better at his job, although there are plenty of reasons beyond his control. Against the Falcons, Rosen completed 13 of 22 passes for 132 yards with two interceptions. For the season, Rosen has thrown 10 touchdown passes and been intercepted 14 times."I always say have zero expectations in life so you're never disappointed," he said after the game. "I don't know about humbling. I didn't really have any expectations coming in. I just wanted to get better every day and play good football. I have good days. I have bad days. I'd like to be a little more consistent on the good days. This was a step back, and we'll climb over the hurdle like we always do."This Cardinals team has crashed into hurdles more often than cleared them.Arizona has eight losses of at least 10 points and four by at least 20. No other team in the NFL has that record of futility.The offense has statistically been the worst in the NFL, but the defense hasn't been so great either. Atlanta, the worst rushing team in the league Tyler Higbee Jersey , ran for 215 yards against Arizona, the most allowed by the Cardinals this season.Wilks served one season as defensive coordinator of the Carolina Panthers and his entire coaching career has been on that side of the ball.The bright spot: The Cardinals are tied with Oakland for worst record in the NFL and they lost to the Raiders.So lose in the final two games 鈥?the Cardinals opened as a 12 1/2-point underdog against the Rams (it was up to 14 on Monday) 鈥?and that No. 1 draft pick is all theirs.Notes: Wilks said OT Joe Barksdale and CB David Amerson were in the concussion protocol after being injured in Atlanta. ... He said he is hopeful that WR Chad Williams (hamstring) would be available against the Rams after missing the last two games.

Shea-USA TODAY SportsThe Los Angeles Rams signed former Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles on Monday to back up QB Jared Goff for the 2019 season.But today, from ESPN’s Field Yates Taylor Rapp Jersey Cheap , we learn that the cost of doing so will be very, very, very low:That is, to use the parlance, an absolute steal.The saga was a bit strange though. Jacksonville signed Bortles to a three-year deal just a year ago. By releasing him after one season in that deal, they had to eat $16.5m of dead money, but it would at least take him off their books for 2020. It was probably the wise move for the Jags, but only because they had put themselves in that position.So with the $6.5m levy incurred this year Taylor Rapp Jersey Womens , Bortles wasn’t in a position to need to really look for full market value. Instead, he could take a team-friendly deal and try to boost his profile in hopes for a career rebound in 2020.Here’s hoping it works out for all involved this year.
