TEMPE, Ariz. -- Bruce Arians might tailor the game plan to what Ryan Lindley does best and likes to run, but the Arizona Cardinals won’t look any different than the first 14 weeks this season.

“We won’t change,” Arians said Tuesday night on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “We try not to change who we are.

“To me, it’s, ‘Alright, Ryan, here’s the plan. There’s enough stuff here, give me some shots that you really like and are very comfortable with.’ I think for me, putting him in a comfort level is huge. That’s what separates some coaches who would just say, ‘Hey, you got to play this system.’ We’ll fit the system.”

Arians stressed the importance of making Lindley as comfortable as possible. Like he did with Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton earlier this season, Arians will let Lindley script certain plays against Seattle so he's running what he’s comfortable with.

Lindley was “on fire” during Arizona’s bonus practice on Monday, Arians said.

On “Pardon the Interruption” Tuesday afternoon, Arians said the Cardinals’ game plan will be built around Lindley’s strengths. But they won’t ask the third-year quarterback to simply manage the game.

“No, we don’t do any of that game-management stuff,” Arians said on PTI. “We’re going to sling it.”

In addressing any potential timing issues between Lindley and his receivers, Arians said he’s been throwing to them since he was re-signed on Nov. 11. Add in the time spent working with them during offseason workouts and training camp, and Lindley has had plenty of time to build a rapport with this season's receiving corps.

And Thomas has been with the team since getting drafted in May so the receivers have had time to adjust to him.

“They know when Logan’s in there they better get their damn head around because it’s coming hot,” Arians said. “They’ve figured all that stuff out by now, so they should all know each other well enough to adapt to the game plan.”

Arians said on PTI that the Cardinals’ real MVPs are the backups. They’ve been preparing for a chance to start since OTAs, but “you don’t really plan on this many injuries,” Arians said.

Having 18 players miss a combined 90 games because of injury this season dating back to Darnell Dockett going down with an ACL injury during training camp isn’t anything a coach wants to experience.

But Arians has made the most of it.

“It makes it fun as a coach,” he said. “You got to work every week and no one gets bored around here, that’s for sure.

“It’s almost like if we don’t get an injury, everybody’s gonna (be like), ‘Hey, what’s going on?’” Arians said. “They’re expecting it every week and every game. So, each time it happens it just galvanizes this bunch even more.”
