The Arizona Cardinals wrapped up their shortest training camp in recent memory Wednesday with a workout at University of Phoenix Stadium.The Cardinals reported on July 27 for their first camp under new coach Steve Wilks and scattered a handful of outdoor practices in the desert heat with workouts inside the air conditioned stadium."I thought we really came down here and accomplished a lot http://www.saintsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-terron-armstead-jersey ," Wilks said, "most importantly trying to emphasize and focus on the fundamentals and techniques of the game, trying to create that mindset, the physicality and most importantly the effort that's going to sustain us throughout the year."Arizona plays its second preseason game at New Orleans on Friday night and will resume practices Sunday on the other side of suburban Phoenix at the Cardinals practice facility in Tempe.The camp lasted less than three weeks."My mindset is to try to frontload on the front end," Wilks said. "I want to get back to Tempe so I can get these guys into a routine of how it's going to be during the season and really starting to get their mind right and most importantly get their legs back underneath them."Rookie quarterback Josh Rosen, who figures to get some time with the first unit against the Saints, said he learned a lot in the camp and he's looking forward to getting a chance to play with the starters."It's awesome I get to run with really good players," he said, "hopefully complete a ball to Larry (Fitzgerald) and keep playing whether it's ones, twos or threes."Wilks said Rosen had a good practice Wednesday.He "looked real good today and I'm hoping that can translate over to the game on Friday," Wilks said. "He's still learning, he's still growing. He's a rookie and he's going to have some bumps here and there. But the guy has a short-term memory, which is great, and he's a great competitor."Sam Bradford still has a firm hold on the starting quarterback job and figures to get more snaps than he did in the preseason opener, when he played one series and threw just one pass — a 6-yard completion — in Arizona's 24-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.The Cardinals Cameron Jordan Jersey , under what has become known as "the plan," have brought Bradford along slowly as he comes back from his latest knee injury. Bradford had regular days off during the camp."Like you guys have heard me talk about a million times," Bradford said, "just the plan that we had kind of put together when I got here in the spring and then at the end of the spring talked about training camp and having that plan in place and really sticking to that plan. I think my knee feels really good right now. I think my body's in a great place and so I think that those days off have come at the right time and kept my body where it is."Notes: Wilks said WR Brice Butler probably would miss the Saints game with a foot injury sustained during practice earlier this week. ... The Cardinals re-signed S Harlan Miller and waived/injured CB Lou Young III. Miller played in seven games for Arizona the past two seasons. With an extra week to reflect on a Monday night shootout in which the Los Angeles Rams allowed 51 points and 546 yards to the Kansas City Chiefs, defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was focused on the positives.The Rams had three interceptions, recovered two fumbles, scored two defensive touchdowns and were able to add one more win to their record."Yeah, we want the five turnovers," Phillips said Thursday. "We don't want all the other stuff. But that's what we're working towards."After a sterling start to the season that included six consecutive scoreless quarters and allowing Arizona to run one play in Rams' territory in a dominant 34-0 win, Los Angeles has allowed 31 or more points in five of its past eight games. That total includes each of its past three games, but Phillips remains upbeat about the trajectory of his defense.The main source of that optimism comes from the Rams' ability to generate takeaways against the Chiefs. The defense did not have an interception in its three previous games against Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Russell Wilson, and it forced only two fumbles in those three games against Green Bay, New Orleans and Seattle, but was able to turn up the pressure against the Chiefs.Phillips was especially pleased with the interceptions by cornerback Marcus Peters and safety Lamarcus Joyner in the final minutes when the Chiefs had chances to tie or win the game. The ability to make plays in critical moments Authentic Vonn Bell Jersey , Phillips said, has been one of the defense's best attributes."The good thing about this team, defensively, is they have been resilient in key situations," Phillips said. "How many times in the last two minutes have they come through and made plays where they cause a turnover? The last game, they have a great offense and they have already scored 50 points, they get the ball with two minutes left and another time with two minutes left and we get two turnovers."However, Phillips would like to see improvement in other areas start this week against the Detroit Lions when the Rams (10-1) can clinch the NFC West with a win.It could come with cornerback Aqib Talib on track to play for the first time since sustaining a high ankle sprain that required surgery against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.Rams coach Sean McVay said Talib made it through practice Wednesday without any setbacks and expected the veteran defensive back to play against the Lions.McVay called Talib's impending return a "big boost to our football team," but said the exact nature of his participation would be determined later in the week."What does that mean in terms of snap count, what exactly that role is, really it is something that we're going to continue to evaluate based on the way his ankle responds," McVay said. "If things go the way we anticipate, we hope and what we expect, then I think you can expect to see him play."Getting Talib back could make a major difference in how the Rams perform, as the defense is allowing nearly a full yard per play more without him. The Rams have allowed 6.43 yards per play in the eight games without Talib Youth Thomas Morstead Jersey , compared to 5.59 yards per play in the three games Talib started.Slot corner Nickell Robey-Coleman said Talib's presence means more than being able to play the press coverage Phillips prefers."For him to be back on the field, I think it only makes everybody better. Listening to a veteran call things out 鈥?'Watch out for this, watch out for that' 鈥?he's real good at things like that," Robey-Coleman said. "When we got him back, it's like all our confidence came back in a sense."The Rams should also have outside linebacker Matt Longacre back in the lineup against the Lions. Longacre was a surprise inactive against the Chiefs, which McVay said was solely because of the game plan for that week and not because of performance. Longacre has appeared in 10 games this season, making seven starts, with 15 tackles and one tackle for loss."It wasn't anything Matt did or didn't do," McVay said. "He's been a very good player for us, but he didn't do anything that was like, 'OK, he's not playing at a certain level.' It was just specific to the game plan."NOTES: Defensive tackle Ethan Westbrooks participated in Thursday's walk-through after not practicing Wednesday because of illness. With LT Andrew Whitworth and C John Sullivan were both full participants Thursday after getting a day off to rest, every player on the Rams roster was available. Custom Arizona Cardinals Jerseys
