TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals seem to be undergoing something of a personality change.The big-play passing offense that propelled them to a 13-3 record a year ago is giving way to a ground game centered on dynamic running back David Johnson.Coach Bruce Arians said the philosophy hasnt changed but the running game has.Weve always wanted to run it, Arians said after practice Wednesday. We havent always been able to. With the running back situation, were able to run the football and that makes it a whole lot easier, especially on the quarterback. But, no, our philosophy hasnt changed. Were still how we are.Quarterback Carson Palmer agreed.Its what we want to do. I think its what everybody wants to do, he said. You run the ball and you go play-action and take our shots. There hasnt been a ton of it (in the past). I think the main thing is weve gotten so much better in the run game. Were doing such a good job up front, regardless of whos kind of filtered in with injuries. But weve improved our running game dramatically.The Cardinals have rushed for at least 170 yards in consecutive games for the first time since 1988, the teams first season in Arizona, in wins that evened the teams record at 3-3.But there have been hardly any of those big passing plays that have been so common in the past. Perhaps its because defenses have adjusted to take those away or receivers havent been able to get separation or Palmer has underthrown them. The lone long pass for a touchdown this season was a 51-yarder from Palmer to Jaron Brown in Week 2s 40-7 victory over Tampa Bay.Palmer was 23 for 34 for 213 yards and a touchdown in Monday nights 28-3 victory over the New York Jets but the longest pass play was 14 yards.Everybody loves the home run ball, Palmer said, but completions are completions. Whether its a two-yard or 12-yard or five-yard, when defenders have to run and tackle somebody it wears you out defensively. Its demoralizing when you get lots of completions, and theres the ability to miss tackles, which is something we really do well.The running game did produce Johnsons 58-yard touchdown.Two of the other TDs against the Jets came on 14-play drives, one consuming 7 minutes, 37 seconds of the third quarter, the other 7:26 of the fourth. Arizona also had a 17-play touchdown drive against Buffalo, making the Cardinals the only team in the league with three touchdown drives of at least 14 plays this season.The longer you go, the more tired the defense gets, Palmer said, and you could tell on some of Daves touchdown runs, once we did get down there. He just kind of walked right in, especially on one of them.Johnson rushed for 111 yards against the Jets. He had a pair of two-yard scoring runs up the middle along with his 58-yard play.Hes loving the load hes being asked to carry.Just continue to pound the rock, he said. Thats receivers and tight ends blocking down the field, helping me string out those long runs. I get tired but obviously its a good thing.Earl Watford, who moved in at right guard last week after Evan Mathis went down with a season-ending ankle injury, was far downfield on Johnsons long run. He doesnt know how many people he blocked on the play.Run blocking is fun. Im not going to lie, Watford said. Thats probably the best thing about football, just running the ball.Its great motivation for the line to block for a runner of Johnsons ability.You know you give him a little bit, hes going to get a lot, Watford said.Arians gave the entire offensive front a game ball, including the tight ends.One-hundred seventy-one yards (rushing) and no sacks, he said. Thats worthy of a game ball for a blocking unit.The Cardinals split the offense evenly against New York -- 35 running plays, 35 passing plays.Next up is a Seattle defense thats one of the NFLs best, especially against the run.The Cardinals wont change their approach.Were going to come out and try to run the ball, Palmer said.Game notes Palmer got a scheduled day off. ... wide receivers Jaron Brown (knee) and John Brown (hamstring) did not practice. ... guard Mike Iupati, who missed the Jets game with a sprained ankle, practiced and looked good, Arians said.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Randy Jones Jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. San Diego Padres Jerseys .

Dale Steyn underwent a successful shoulder surgery on Thursday in Cape Town to repair the fracture he suffered during the first Test against Australia in Perth, Cricket South Africa said in a release. The fast bowler will have to undergo a six-month rehabilitation before gradually returning to bowling.Steyn suffered the injury on the second day in Perth and told Channel Nine that he felt a thud in his shoulder and a lot of pain while bowling. He had bowled only 12.4 overs in the match, and had dismissed David Warner before walking off the field.I felt this pop or like a thud in my shoulder. There was a lot of pain, Steyn said. I had to go off the field and have an MRI. I did something very similar against England in December in a similar area but it wasnt as bad. That was a stress reaction, which is like a very hairline little crack. This time its more like a fracture. Its kind of broken the whole bone.Dr Mohammed Moosajee, South Africas team manager, said Steyn would begin his rehabilitation programme after a few weeks, once the bone had healed.Dale had successful surgery on Thursday where the fracture in the right shoulder blade was fixated with the placement of a screw, Moosajee was quoted as saying in a press release. We expect a minimum six-month rehabilitation period before he can start any form of bowling. It is crucial to give the injury enough time to heal and to make sure tthat he is completely pain-free before he starts bowling again.dddddddddddd. He will begin with his rehabilitation programme once the satisfactory bony healing has taken place; this is expected to be in a few weeks.We are positive that he will make a successful return to international cricket. He will be provided with the best possible support and guidance led by our physiotherapist, Brandon Jackson, and Cricket South Africas medical committee, which will give him the best opportunity to make a successful return to full fitness.Steyn had suffered a similar injury late last year, and broke down during the Boxing Day Test against England. He was subsequently ruled out of the remaining matches of that series.Steyn made a comeback from that injury at the World T20 in March, featuring in two of South Africas four matches. He was then left out of the Caribbean triangular series in June - officially rested but unofficially dropped - and was allowed to play in the NatWest T20 Blast to regain form. He returned for South Africas Tests against New Zealand and seemed back to his best with eight wickets in the Centurion win. He also played in four of the five ODIs against Australia and was occasionally seen holding the shoulder but did not need treatment at any stage.
