— There were a lot of people wondering what the locker room was like this week. NFL players are pretty resilient. When they say they move on by Wednesday, they usually do. They have to.

“We’re playing hard on defense, we have missing pieces, and we are filling in with what we’ve got,” safety Rabbit Taylor-Demerson said, emphasizing he could only speak for his side of the ball. “Defense, the energy is high in the building, no reason to be down on ourselves. We still have a lot of ball. We get to come in and live the dream and play football every single day.”

— Calais Campbell has made some huge plays already this season at age 39, and his big role this week has been as the wise elder speaking to a team that needs to find a way to finish a victory (and a big one, if they were to get one on the road at Indianapolis.)

But I also asked him, with the high level at which he has played, if it has surprised him at all given his age. Campbell, honest as always, didn’t hold back.

“I don’t feel great if we are being honest, but I feel good enough,” he said. “When the offseason is here and I am training and pushing myself to the limit, part of me has doubt, ‘Can I still take over a game? Can I still make those game-changing plays?’ The answer is usually ‘I don’t know.’ Then you go through camp and the positions you are putting yourself in are not the same as a game because it isn’t an actual game. You get to the game it’s like, ‘OK, I love it and I want to put myself in position to make plays, and I’m just not sure if I’m going to have it.’ Your legs feel a little off, a little bit tired.

“I tell myself, ‘Do it with heavy legs, do it tired.’ I find a burst of energy at the right time and make a couple of plays. It feels good. But yes, I surprise myself. When I was 28, 29, 30, even 33, I felt so much better than I do today. At the same time, once you have some success, I’m like, ‘I still got it.’ That confidence is huge. I still have enough juice.”

— Rookie cornerback Will Johnson (the top-rated cornerback on Pro Football Focus, for what that is worth) already has five passes defensed this season, leading rookies and eighth overall. And that’s missing two of Arizona’s five games.

— Terrell was asked of his analysis of wide receiver Michael Wilson’s season, who only has eight catches for 52 yards and a touchdown.

“Dog. Watch him play,” Terrell said. “I don’t care what any of his numbers look like. Watch (No.) 14 play football on a consistent basis. (It’s) good.”

— Punter Blake Gillikin is having an excellent season, with three punts last week of at least 60 yards. He is the only punter in the league in the top five in gross punting (51.7 yards) and net punting (45.4 yards). Unfortunately, his back injury is bad enough that the Cardinals signed Pat O’Donnell on Friday, so there may be a fill-in at least for the Colts game.

— The last word goes to Campbell, who was reflecting on the harsh loss to the Titans as the Cardinals move forward.

“You can’t let a game like that beat you twice.”
