after he was fired as offensive coordinator in Denver Los Angeles Chargers Womens T-Shirt , McCoy is on shaky ground as offensive coordinator of the punchless Arizona Cardinals.First-year head coach Steve Wilks said Monday that everyone's job, including his, will be on the line if the team doesn't start winning.But the target seems biggest on McCoy, since the Cardinals (1-5) rank last or next to last in the NFL in just about every offensive category."We're preparing like any other week," McCoy said Tuesday when asked if he felt his job is in jeopardy. "Our objective every week is to go out and win the next game that you're playing. That's our focus."Coincidentally, Arizona's next opponent is Denver, the team that fired McCoy 10 games into last season. It was McCoy's second stint with the Broncos. He was offensive coordinator there from 2009 to 2012. With Peyton Manning at quarterback, that 2012 team went 13-3 and McCoy became a hot property, hired as head coach of the San Diego Chargers.He was fired after four seasons with the Chargers and returned to work as offensive coordinator for new Denver head coach Vance Joseph, who had kind words for McCoy in a conference call Tuesday. Joseph said coaches understand the pressure inherent in the profession."Mike's a great man," Joseph said of the coach he fired last November. "Mike, as a coordinator, he understands being a head coach, and it's a production business. He understands that. We're all in the same business, so we all get it. If we don't produce, and we don't win, then we can't keep our jobs. Mike understands that. I understand that, and coach Wilks understands that."It's the same for every coach in the National Football League. We're all coaching and playing for our jobs every single week. It's no different this week."McCoy said he has "great respect for the entire (Bronco) organization.""I was very fortunate to be a part of their organization two different times with some great players and some great people from Mr. Bowlen (owner Pat Bowlen) all the way down," he said. "I've got so much respect for the organization, how they run the business from day to day."McCoy was entrusted with the Arizona offense by Wilks, the defensive coordinator in Carolina and a coach with an entirely defensive background before he was hired to replace Bruce Arians after last season.But the Cardinals stumbled from the start and haven't shown much improvement from game to game.Rookie Josh Rosen replaced Sam Bradford as quarterback in the third week of the season and has had some impressive moments but the Cardinals ground game, expected to be a strength with the return of running back David Johnson Los Angeles Chargers Hats , has been mostly awful. The offensive line, predicted to be the team's strength by Wilks, has lost most of its battles in the trenches and is battered by injuries going into Thursday night's game.The Cardinals average 220 yards per game, worst in the NFL. They are 31st (out of 32 teams) at 156.5 passing yards per game and dead last at 64 yards per game on the ground. Their 82 points, including a handful of defensive touchdowns, are next-to-last in the league.And Arizona was 0-for-10 on third down (0-for-2 on fourth down) in last Sunday's 27-17 loss at Minnesota.So it's easy to see why McCoy should be feeling the pressure. But he said he ignores the critics."No offense, but I don't watch a lot of TV," he said. "I don't read papers. I don't get on the internet. I'm too busy doing other things, putting plans together. When my family's in town, I spend every minute I can with them, or talking to them at night when they're in San Diego, things like that. I've been in this long enough."The Broncos have the worst run defense in the NFL. It would seem to be an opportunity, maybe McCoy's last in Arizona."We're focused on this week," he said. "That's all you do in this business. You try to be 1-0 at the end of every week. That's all that we're focused on." Sam Darnold's final numbers looked every bit like those of a rookie quarterback who struggled through adversity all over the field.Bad decisions, receivers' slippery fingers, a cold, blustery wind and a swarming defense all contributed to the worst game of the Darnold's young career. Still, the face of the New York Jets franchise refused to be flustered."Obviously, I learned a lot from that game," Darnold said Monday, "and learned a lot from just watching tape."Darnold was 17 of 42 for 206 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions in New York's 37-17 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.After going 6 of 9 for 87 yards and a touchdown with a 135.0 quarterback rating in the opening quarter, Darnold finished with a dismal 34.4 rating. The second and third quarters were the worst Los Angeles Chargers Womens Hoodie , when Darnold was a combined 2 of 13 for minus-1 yard.New York was 2 of 13 in third-down situations, and the running game 鈥?which lost Bilal Powell to a neck injury early 鈥?couldn't get off the ground while finishing with 71 yards."It's not just Sam," coach Todd Bowles said. "It's the offense, defense and special teams. Our team has to do better, it's not about just Sam. It's about us coaching better. It's about us playing better in all three phases."Through the first seven games of his NFL career, Darnold's overall statistics are hardly eye-popping. And, really, they're barely mediocre.He has thrown for 1,552 yards with 10 touchdowns and an NFL-high 10 interceptions. Darnold's 56.1 completion percentage is near the bottom of the league, with fellow rookies Josh Rosen of Arizona (55.0) and Josh Allen of Buffalo (54.0) the only QBs with at least 100 attempts lower than his. His 74.3 quarterback rating is also among the worst.But there's no panic in Darnold or the Jets , particularly because the No. 3 overall pick in the draft is getting a crash course in life as an NFL quarterback."On the positive side, I thought I was on time with a lot of the routes I was throwing," Darnold said of his performance against the Vikings. "On the two touchdown drives, I thought we played really well. I thought I was able to hit the open guy."The negative, I think just continuing to really lock in on my progressions and really stick on one side of the field and understand what the safeties are doing and what the defense is doing a little bit better. So, just really continuing to grow that way."Darnold insisted the conditions at MetLife Stadium 鈥?46 degrees at kickoff, swirling 16 mph winds and a wind chill of 39 鈥?weren't a factor in his performance. The California kid from USC will have to get used to days like this in the Northeast, though, especially because the only other game in which he played below 50 degrees was at Utah in 2016 when it was 45.And, by the way, Darnold's numbers Sunday were much better when he had the wind at his back."I think that might have been just a coincidence," he said. "I feel like I threw the ball really well in the wind Womens Customized Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys , whether we were going against it or with it. I didn't really feel like that was much of an issue at all."Drops, however, were. The Jets had five against the Vikings. The last of Darnold's interceptions came late in the fourth quarter when his perfectly placed pass went off the hands of Charone Peake and right to Minnesota's Trae Waynes."Whether I throw it to the right guy or whether I made the wrong read," Darnold said, "every single ball I throw I've got to throw it with confidence, and if I do that I think we'll have a better chance."The Jets were also short-handed at receiver, something the team might need to address in the next few days.Quincy Enunwa is out for a few weeks with a sprained ankle, and Terrelle Pryor was cut over the weekend while dealing with a groin injury. That left Jermaine Kearse, Robby Anderson and Andre Roberts 鈥?primarily a returner 鈥?as the only experienced players at the position, with Peake and just-promoted Deontay Burnett the others.Kearse, who led the team in receptions last season, finished with none on Sunday and had only two balls thrown his way."Credit to them, they did a great job scheming and their players did an outstanding job executing their scheme," Darnold said of the Vikings. "I think from that aspect, they got us. They did a great job of playing Jermaine and having a plan for him."We will be better. We will learn from it and grow from it."NOTES: The Jets fear S Doug Middleton has a torn pectoral muscle and could miss the rest of the season, as first reported by the New York Daily News.
