TEMPE http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-trevon-wesco-jersey , Ariz. — One thing rookie Josh Rosen will certainly bring to his first start as an NFL quarterback is confidence. He has that in abundance.“I think a lot of times, an attitude and confidence and persistence, I think that’s good in times when things aren’t going too great, like this,” he said Wednesday. “At least fake it until you make it.”Off to an 0-3 start under new coach Steve Wilks, the Cardinals are in dire need of a shot of adrenaline going into Sunday’s home game against Seattle, and Wilks believes Rosen can provide it.“I think he has a lot of confidence, and you saw that when he went into the game this past week,” Wilks said after the team’s first practice with Rosen as the starter. “You see it each and every day when he’s out there, particularly today. The guy does a tremendous job commanding the huddle. Guys respect him. You can tell they’re feeding off his energy. So, I just want him to go in there Clelin Ferrell Jersey , relax and have fun. It’s still football.”Wilks benched starter Sam Bradford late in Sunday’s 16-14 loss to Chicago and gave Rosen his first NFL experience. Rosen completed 4 of 7 passes for 36 yards in his brief time on the field and was intercepted. He had another interception run back for a touchdown but it was nullified by an offside penalty against the Bears.Still, Wilks saw enough to give Rosen the start for the sputtering offense, which ranks last in the NFL in most statistical categories.Now all four of the first four quarterbacks chosen in this year’s draft are starting. Rosen was reminded of his well-traveled statement that he’d show those who picked quarterbacks ahead of him what a big mistake they had made. Rosen went at No. 10 overall.“We’ll see how it all turns out,” Rosen said Wednesday, “but right now I’m just really excited to be playing this week. Hopefully, I can back up all of what I said.”Rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk has known Rosen since high school. He was asked what kind of guy Rosen is.“He’s different. He’s one of a kind,” Kirk said. “But he’s competitive. He competes at everything he does. Even when he was taking reps on the scout team, he was out there making plays and just competing, just having fun with football.”The problems for the offense certainly go far beyond quarterback play. The offensive line has been weak and the running game virtually nonexistent.Running back David Johnson, the NFL leader in yards from scrimmage two seasons ago, has 116 yards in 34 carries over three games http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-josh-jacobs-jersey , an average of 3.4 yards per carry. He’s caught another 10 passes for 63 yards. Johnson has scored two of the offense’s three touchdowns this season but has not had any of the dynamic big plays that were his trademark before he injured his wrist in last year’s opener and missed the rest of the season.Only two wide receivers — Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald — have caught a pass. They have 12 apiece.Arizona is averaging 190 yards per game, last in the NFL.So on comes the 21-year-old Rosen to try to turn things around and prevent what would be the Cardinals’ first 0-4 start since 1986, two years before the franchise moved from St. Louis to Arizona.“It’s still football,” Rosen said. “Regardless of how much everyone is getting paid around you, it’s still football, just wearing different jerseys, and that was probably the most relieving thing about getting on the field (last week) was just completing a ball and sort of understanding it’s still the same game I’ve been playing since third grade.”Rosen was asked when he decided he was going to be an NFL quarterback.“I don’t know if it was ever a decision,” he said. “It was always just kind of a dream. Every step from high school to my first scholarship to a couple games in college when you realize it’s a possibility. It’s more of a dream that gets realized slowly over time that, ‘I actually have a shot at this thing.'” TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hope they’re finally getting it right on defense.After selecting linebacker Devin White in Thursday’s first round, the Bucs reiterated their commitment to improving on defense by selecting Central Michigan cornerback Sean Bunting in the second round and Auburn cornerback Jamel Dean and Kentucky safety Mike Edwards in the third round on Friday night.The Bucs were one of the NFL’s most productive teams on offense last year but missed the playoffs for the 11th consecutive season because of an inconsistent pass rush and an inability to keep opponents out of the end zone.New coach Bruce Arians and general manager Jason Licht are determined to change that Johnathan Abram Jersey , bringing in three potential starters in free agency and using the club’s first four picks in this week’s draft to bolster a unit that ranked 24th in total defense while allowing 29 points per game — second-most in the league in 2018.“When Bruce came in … we knew we had to address that side of the ball,” said Licht, who’s leading his sixth draft as Bucs GM.The pass rush and a leaky secondary have been liabilities throughout the GM’s tenure.Including the three players added Friday, the Bucs have drafted six defensive backs since 2016, though Licht said that’s not necessarily “an indictment on the players who are here.”“You’re always trying to get better,” he said, adding that a lack of depth in the secondary was a problem last season, when the Bucs finished 5-11 for the second straight year.“Competition is a beautiful thing in this league,” said the GM, who lured Arians out of retirement and back to the sideline in January.Bunting was the seventh player taken in the second round, 39th overall. Dean and Edwards were selected 94th and 99th http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-trayvon-mullen-jersey , respectively, with picks obtained when Tampa Bay traded No. 70 overall to the Los Angeles Rams.Bunting is the first cornerback drafted out of the Mid-American Conference school in 34 years and the highest drafted player from Central Michigan since offensive lineman Eric Fisher was the No. 1 overall pick in 2013.“It was just a blessing, honestly. I couldn’t process the moment when it happened,” Bunting said of getting the call from the Bucs. “I could only kind of smile and stare at the TV screen.”In Tampa Bay, he’ll join White, Dean and Edwards as part of a potential fix for one of the NFL’s worst defenses.White, an inside linebacker out of LSU, was the fifth pick of the opening round. The Bucs selected him even though Josh Allen, the top-rated edge pass rusher in the draft, was still available.Arians and Licht said the 6-foot, 237-pound White fits everything they were looking for in a leader and versatile defender.“The tape speaks for itself Maxx Crosby Jersey ,” Arians said. “People say: ‘You need a pass-rusher.’ He’s pretty good at that and we do like to blitz up the middle — quarterbacks don’t like pressure up the middle. He fits everything that we want as a human being and as a football player. I really couldn’t be any more ecstatic.”White and Bunting, who had nine career interceptions in college, will get an opportunity to compete for starting jobs as rookies in the new 3-4 scheme being installed by Bucs defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.“I would say my best attribute is being able to take the ball out of the air,” Bunting said. “I’m a ball hawk. I consider myself a receiving defensive back. That something I take pride in, taking the ball away and giving it back to the offense.”
