Green looks for ways to rev up Cardinals

TEMPE, ARIZONA - The winless Cardinals, who play at Atlanta on Sunday, have scored two touchdowns and 22 points overall in losses at St. Louis and to New England.<br> <br> ``We are going to look at everything,&#39;&#39; Green said Monday. ``There&#39;s not one area we won&#39;t take a look at.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> The obvious areas of concern are the offensive line and quarterback.<br> <br> Josh McCown was running for his life against the New England pass rush in Sunday&#39;s 23-12 loss. When New England blitzed, at least one of the pass rushers came through untouched.<br> <br> ``It&#39;s probably miscommunication for the most part,&#39;&#39; Green said, ``and also application of the system.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> He said McCown needs to know when to change the play at the line of scrimmage, based on what he sees the defense doing.<br> <br> ``I think we are not using our audible system as much as we should,&#39;&#39; Green said. ``I personally like teams that blitz against you. It&#39;s just part of my makeup, part of the success we&#39;ve had in San Francisco and Minnesota, when people give you single coverage, or try to blitz, that you hurt people.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> He said to remember that this was just the second game of the season.<br> <br> ``That may not be just a young quarterback, but a newness to a system that has more answers than we are applying right now,&#39;&#39; Green said.<br> <br> In addition to having a third-year quarterback who has made just five NFL starts, the Cardinals have rookie Alex Stepanovich at center. The team unexpectedly cut veteran Pete Kendall early in training camp. But the youngsters weren&#39;t the only ones having problems Sunday.<br> <br> Tackle Anthony Clement said after the game the line was mixed up.<br> <br> ``We were supposed to be protecting one way and we were protecting it backwards,&#39;&#39; Clement said. ``Things were just happening. As an offensive line, we screwed up.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Green downplayed the possibility the team might make a trade or other personnel moves.<br> <br> ``It&#39;s hard to make moves right now,&#39;&#39; he said. ``Always discussions are taking place, but right now my mind-set is that we have to do a lot better with what we have right now.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> McCown was 13-of-29 for 117 yards with two interceptions Sunday. He has yet to throw a touchdown pass. Even when the defense made plays to give the offense opportunities, the team couldn&#39;t move the ball. Neil Rackers&#39; field goals Sunday were from 51 and 52 yards.<br> <br> But Green cautioned against overreacting to early struggles.<br> <br> ``There are things you can do but you also have to keep in mind you put a lot of work and effort into developing something,&#39;&#39; he said. ``If we are going to find a solution, we will find it. Hopefully, the solution does not require doing things that I would say are along the lines of being desperate. That&#39;s not a smart thing.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Green was much less severe in his criticism of the offense Monday than he was immediately after the game, when he questioned the players&#39; intensity and desire.<br> <br> On Monday, he attributed the struggles to ``growing pains and a tough schedule.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> ``Not many teams win in St. Louis, and at least 16 teams before us haven&#39;t beaten New England,&#39;&#39; Green said.
