Since the Arizona Cardinals started the season 4-0, things just haven't been going their way.

Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has the tough task of getting a team that has lost five straight games back on track.

He spoke with Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Monday and seems confident that his squad will return to winning form.

"We are going to look at making some changes if we have to do that so we can cut out some of these little mistakes that are keeping us from winning a game," Whisenhunt told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Monday. "We are going to get back to winning."

With such a late bye week, Whisenhunt feels that he has a big enough sample size to diagnose the Cardinals' ailments.

"I think that when you look at the nine games that we have played, you now have a set of plays or a set of enough games that you can evaluate where your team is and look at what you can do to correct it," Whisenhunt said.

Last week, Whisenhunt replaced starting left tackle D'Anthony Batiste with rookie Nate Potter, and it appears as if he will be moving forward with that decision. The move might be a sign of many more things to come as he re-evaluates his team this week.

"I think we are going to use this week to really look hard at what we are doing and how we are doing it and the guys we are doing it with," Whisenhunt said. "We are going to look to put the best team on the field moving forward."

    You better do something if you plan on being employed at the end of the year. Think I would start by getting Skelton off the field.

    Very Predictable Team
    The Cardinals are beating themselves with their own mistakes and poor play. On offense, they are a very predictable team and often one dimensional when they fall behind. An opposing team will have little difficulty to scheme against the Cardinals. The Cards coaching staff should know this and adjust...shouldn't have taken this long after a five game losing streak to figure this out and make changes and adjustments.

    The thing about being a head coach is when you're winning everything you say sounds genius, but when you're losing everything you say sounds moronic. I'm starting to lose faith in this coaching staff. They are running out of time and saying that "we are going to look at making changes" or "we just need to get better" is not very reassuring.

    Something New
    I want to hear Whiz fired up! I am tired of his same old talks about how we've done some positive things & have to improve; well no S hit! Save those talks for the 7 or 8 year old Pop Warner kids Whiz, these are grown me!

    Here's what I would do
    Fire Mike Miller, the offense became too predictable. I could probably call a sound defensive game plan against this team at this point, and that's sad. Start Potter, it was night and day with him in there. Then I would start Lindley, let him run first string during the bye. The only bad part is they go into undefeated Atlanta, so that may make them just stand pat.

    Back to winning?
    Whiz, a 4 game winning streak against mostly average competition not very impressive. The only team we’ve handled thus far an inept Eagles squad. This staff has maybe 1 year to correct mistakes, play your younger talent and at a minimum determine the strength and weaknesses of this team moving forward, this season clearly lost. This team could easily be 1-8, I’ve lost all confidence in this staff and GM! Football 101, you need a QB, 102 you need to protect the QB this isn’t rocket science!

    Re-building process
    Our best player WR, but we have no chance of getting him the ball on a consistent basis. This is like trying to drive a car without a steering wheel! A coach is responsible to put his best players in position to excel, this staff has clearly failed in that regard. So glad we drafted another WR we can’t get the rock too. Quality QB’s and Tackles are like gold, never available during their prime no NFL team willing to part with a necessary commodity! Start building this team through the DRAFT!
