12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: came flying into the backfield, pink skirt and nobody. Here's

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: Paul caldc all right, So I got my head on

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: a swivel. Here. I'm still looking for the person who

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: perpetrated the hit and run job at my desk, Danny,

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, Darren, not so much because you're

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: on a different floor. But it did happen while I

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: was away. Somebody managed to dump a bunch of Halloween

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: candy on my desk, as if I don't have the

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: self discipline to ignore that Halloween candy. I mean, you

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: really think I'm just going to devour that immediately? Am

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I that week? Wait? Did this happen on Monday? On Halloween?

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: You know what? That's so interesting because it wasn't me. However,

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: somebody who also works in our office, Sam, who's one

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: of our videographer editors. When I was walking past your

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: desk to go to mine yesterday afternoon, I said, oh

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: my gosh, Paul has so much Halloween candy on his desk.

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: It wasn't me, but I didn't notice and make a comment.

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Kenny ended up with all that candy and how cool

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: didn't make it to the third floor. Maybe we should

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: start putting cameras in our room. I'm building a case here,

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: so we ever might already be there. I'm building a

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: case and a timeline, so I have Danny Serekt lined

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: up as an eyewitness of sorts, so Hard knockes full

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: goes this week, so there might already be cameras. That's

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: right there. Check the video from Hard Knocks. Nobody wants

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: to see what we're doing during the day. Oh so

38
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: you think how scared are the two of you that

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: you're going to be part of Hard Knocks. I was scared.

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: I'll be disappointed if I'm not look at that. I

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: was scared Monday on Halloween that being the only person

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: in any sort of costume in the press conference room

43
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: that I was wiped out every time it took our

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: hat off. Well, that's because I had to feel the vibes.

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: First of all, somebody came a little early, so I

46
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: had to sneak in late, and I felt weird first

47
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: of all, coming in late and then coming in with

48
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: a big straw hat dress as a farmer. So I

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: took my hat off for that one and then for

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: the other two. I just had to feel the vibes.

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: And I was in overalls and tennis shoes and a

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: bandana and a straw hat, and nobody else dressed up.

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: I was trying to win the costume contest at work.

54
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, I did not, and so I did take

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: my hat off because I was sitting in the front row.

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: I was just fielding the vibes, and after the way

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: the team lost, it just wasn't really feeling the big

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: straw hat. Well, you'll at least be a cutaway. I

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: think if they show that press conference, you'll at least

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: be a cutaway, because how do you avoid the media

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: member and the farmer outfit? Right, And by that point,

62
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: without my straight head on, I just looked like someone

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: in braided pigtails in an overalls on a normal line.

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: You weren't hitting the dress code. It just that's all, Darren.

65
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you're seeking this camera time

66
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: so desperately, why didn't you have the costume on? Good question.

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I'm seeking the camera time, I

68
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: would like it to be within context. It's not like

69
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to go like doing like the gritty behind

70
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: somebody talking on them. You know what the gritty is,

71
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: So I work with it. My first job, I don't

72
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: like you anymore, Danny. My first job, i'd like to

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: begin with. It's true, first actual paying job in media,

74
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: I should say, and I made all of seventeen thousand,

75
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a year in Medford, Oregon as a

76
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: weekend sports anchor. I can beat that. The sports director

77
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: used to have a saying, he said, Paul, you're one

78
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: of two kinds of people in this business, because there

79
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: are only two kinds, those who want to be in

80
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: TV and those who want to be on TV. Yes, so, Darren,

81
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: former or the ladder. First of all, I just want

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: to want to trump you right away. My first full

83
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: time job was in flagstaff at the Arizona Daily Sun,

84
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: which was probably after you started in the business, and

85
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: I was making a little bit. I was making fifteen thousand,

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars for my first salary. My favorite story

87
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: of that one as I was complaining a little bit

88
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: to my father and he goes, that's not that bad.

89
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: My first salary was twelve thousand dollars. I'm like, that

90
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: was like thirty five years ago. Where's the CPI the

91
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: consumer price Index? We gotta adjust for inflation. Come on now,

92
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: all right, so look, head on a swivel here for

93
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: another reason, the trade deadline just came and went. As

94
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: of this recording to Cardinals Underground. The fact Darren's here

95
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: and not writing a big story tells us that the

96
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: Cardinals were not active right before the deadline. That is true,

97
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 1: they did. They did not execute a trade on trade

98
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: deadline day. Many other teams did, but the Cardinals did not.

99
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: Nick what shob goes to the Dolphins. Do you think

100
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: there was any chance Nick Chubb might have been reunited

101
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: with his former head coach and Denver Vans Joseph and

102
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defensive coordinator. Do you think anybody, I mean,

103
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: was that just a pipe dream all along? Probably? I don't.

104
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: When you look at what the Cardinals needed, I like,

105
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: I just don't know what you'd be willing to get into.

106
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: You know. It's when you're when like, yeah, what are

107
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: you willing to give? And players that are you know,

108
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: got a contract year next year and age. There's so

109
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: much that goes into it. And I'll build a case.

110
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll build a case for Nick Chub. Don't

111
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: make me and look not to take a page out

112
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: of Darren's book and be a complete pessimist. And I'm

113
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: not saying that the season is completely done for. But

114
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: when you're looking at teams like Philly and Buffalo who

115
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: are have been making trades and have been doing well,

116
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: you know, those are the teams that they're they're feeling

117
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: very confident and making a push already. And at three

118
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: and five, you have to think about just where you're at,

119
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: what you're going to need the next couple of years,

120
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: not not to be a complete where your roster is.

121
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you you still got I'm assuming you're gonna

122
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: want to extend Zach Allen. I'm assuming you definitely want

123
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: to extend Bayern Murphy, and you know you're gonna bring

124
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: in a guy that you're automatically gonna have to extend immediately.

125
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's probably gonna cost you some other people

126
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: if you make that move and you're giving up your

127
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: first round pick, which I understand there's gonna be arguments

128
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: to do something like that to get a pass rusher

129
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: like Bradley Chubb. But yeah, either way, you have to

130
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: fill that spot. Right, you're going to the offseason. Your

131
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: biggest need this offseason is still going to be your

132
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: biggest need next offseason, an edge rusher someone that that's true,

133
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: the opposing offensive coordinator has to account for. You're in

134
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: the same spot before you had Chandler Jones, correct, And

135
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: what did they do to fill that spot? Trade for

136
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: a guy who's in a very similar point in his

137
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: career as a Bradley Chubb. Correct, You're I will I

138
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: will give you that. That's that is that is a

139
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: fair parallel. I mean, if you're going for a thirty

140
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: something pass Rusher. No, no, okay, I get it. But

141
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: a guy in his prime, right, Okay? You know, and

142
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: you were just paying twenty million a year for Chandler Jones. Anyway,

143
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: I guess you know. The props to Paul. No, I'm

144
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: just saying it might. But it did take more than

145
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: just a first round pick from Miami, including Chase Edmonds,

146
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: the former Cardinal was part of that, and there was

147
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: another pick involved, etc. So but all right, you know

148
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: it's Look, those two teams are in a different spot

149
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,119
Speaker 1: in the standings than the Arizona Cardinals right now. That's

150
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: a fact. Buffalo is the odds on favor to win

151
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, at least the top three. Miami now,

152
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: with this move to fill their biggest hole on their roster,

153
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: they're right in the mix in the AFC. The Arizona

154
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals at three and five, just confounding, not sure what

155
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: to think. Well, it'll be interesting because I personally feel

156
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: like with three straight divisional games on deck, this will

157
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: arguably be the most pivotal point of the season. The

158
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: Cardinals are two games back from Seattle and first in

159
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: the NFC West, which is who they host this week.

160
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: If you don't come out with wins, you're in trouble.

161
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: That to me feels like you might be in a

162
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: hole that you've dug that is too deep for you

163
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: to dig yourself out of. If they can come away

164
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: with two, maybe three wins these next couple of weeks,

165
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: then you're you're still in the mix for the NFC

166
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: West and you know, get some momentum and you get

167
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: things rolling. But when we record this in a month

168
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: after these next three games, I personally feel like it's

169
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: going to be one end of the spectrum and not

170
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: in the middle. They got, I mean to me, with everything,

171
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: they have to win at least two of these games.

172
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: If this is the conversation that they want to have,

173
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really think that that's that out

174
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: of touch to say. I mean, even Cliff Kingsbury said

175
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: this week, guy, as he said, you know, we've talked

176
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: about how important this three game stretches. So it's your

177
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: mid term exam. You started the class slow, here comes

178
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: the mid term. You're aiming to still be viable by

179
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: the final exam, but you might have to drop the

180
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: class after this mid term. The way this thing plays

181
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: out was Seattle at home an oh boy, just a

182
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: reminder everyone, Hello, the Seahawks in Arizona have gone seven

183
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: one and one in the last nine games in the

184
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: az Of course, I was with Russell Wilson. They've up

185
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: upgraded a quarterback, by the way, we'll get into that

186
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: a little bit later. And then you have a Rams

187
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: team that has always vexining that Sean McVay offense obviously,

188
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: and then of course you're going to Mexico City against

189
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: a forty nine Ers team that has bolstered its offense

190
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: with Christian McCaffrey the rushing, the receiving, and the throwing

191
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: touchdown in his second game with the forty nine Ers.

192
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: But that's like so far away. We're talking about a

193
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks team that, look, none of those opponents are going

194
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: to mean anything to the Cardinals if they can't conquer themselves.

195
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: What it's that old saying the biggest battle is against oneself?

196
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: Isn't that really where this Cardinals team stands right now? Darren?

197
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: You keep hearing the words self inflicted. It's like me yesterday,

198
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: I walked out to the parking lot, all the way

199
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: to the side lot, any like a shuttle ride to

200
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: get to my car. Right, I walk all the way

201
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: out there to grab something out of my car. No, no,

202
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: I forgot my car keys. Self inflicted. That's the kind

203
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: of stuff you can't have happened, that's true. Yeah, I

204
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: mean I can understand that walk back to the office

205
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: would be hard in shame, head down. Well, you know,

206
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: the earlier you get here, Paul, the big more parking

207
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: lot spots of I would say, it can always get worse.

208
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're right. Although I mean we've we've

209
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: all been covering this league for a while, Paul, you

210
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: and I for more many years, more years than we

211
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: probably want to admit, it feels like, I mean, when

212
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: teams start getting into the self inflicted, I mean, what

213
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: else is there? It's it's the whole you know, I

214
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: know they're self inflicted because if you're rarely do teams

215
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: come out of games and then they lose and they

216
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: feel like, well, they we played the best game we

217
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: ever have. We just got beat by a better team.

218
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: No one's ever willing to say that. I will agree

219
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: that nine times out of ten, self inflicted usually evolves

220
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: or morse into we're not very good, Yeah, well we're

221
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: hundred or it's a it's a subtle like, you know,

222
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: it's a euphemism for what yet, here's the only caveat.

223
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: I'll throw to that and you tell me if I

224
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: have any ground to stand on. Doesn't it feel like

225
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: speaking of the vibes over there, Danny speaking to the vibes.

226
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Doesn't it feel like this team has sort of taken

227
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: it upon itself to ease their way into the season.

228
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: They certainly ease their way into games. They've yet to

229
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: score a touchdown in the first quarter all season long,

230
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: which is mind boggling, but just sort of what happened

231
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: the last two years was nobody was better earlier in

232
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: the season, especially last year seven and oh, ten and two. Okay,

233
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: you know what we get for that? Absolutely nothing. So

234
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: now they came into this season saying we're gonna be

235
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: poised and ready and we're going to strike. When when

236
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: the calendar turns to November, well, guess what it is November.

237
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: There's not a chill in the air because we're in Arizona,

238
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: but there's some meaningful football hanging out there, and this

239
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: stretch of games that you know what, especially with Hard

240
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: Knox now debuting a come full circle of Hard Knocks again,

241
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: guess what, it's all right here. If you don't get

242
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: the best effort and you get air free football. If

243
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen now, it never will. I disagree. I

244
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: don't think that this team was necessarily slowly making their

245
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: way into the season because they didn't look good. It's

246
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: not to me like it's I don't see this as

247
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're preparing for a marathon and not

248
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: a sprint. I just feel like they were just so

249
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: lost and unable to really communicate through those first couple

250
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: of games. And we've seen it a little better the

251
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, but you're right, we haven't even

252
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: seen a full game of complimentary football. And not to

253
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: necessarily point fingers, I know that it truly does stem

254
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: from all three phases of the game. It's been the offense,

255
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: and that's really not a secret. That the defense, for

256
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: the most part, has done its job week after week.

257
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: We've seen some pretty big special teams plays with a

258
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: fake punt, you know the in Seattle that blocks punt

259
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: which Chris Banjo took in the end zone lucky photos

260
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: facemask blocking. He only touchdown to the game, by the way,

261
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: last time he played Seattle for the Cardinals, right, But

262
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: I don't see this as it was necessarily. I can't

263
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: imagine this team of, oh, look at how hot we've

264
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: started the last couple of years and it hasn't panned out, Like,

265
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: let's mentally just try and mosey our way into the season,

266
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, as the water, you know, warms up. No.

267
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: I see this as the team wasn't ready. First of all,

268
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: Danny never hesitates pointing fingers when it has to do

269
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: with pointing at me. I just want to make that clear.

270
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing. She only disagreed with me so far.

271
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: I feel like when you're making that point about easing

272
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: into the season again, I hate to maybe this is

273
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: just too many years of hearing some of this stuff.

274
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: We never hear we're going to ease into the season

275
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: ahead of time. It's always after the fact that hey,

276
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: and that comes across if it gets brought up. Now,

277
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're bringing this up. This is kind

278
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: of how we're interpreting it. But I mean, that's that

279
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: nobody in the right mind be easing into the season.

280
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: So if you are doing that, it just feels like, Okay,

281
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: we got to come up with a reason why we're

282
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: why why it happened. Here's the other reason to bring

283
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: that up is because after the game, in the postgame

284
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: radio interview with Rondale Moore, he had mentioned that the

285
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: message from Cliff Kingsbury and some of the team leaders

286
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: in that locker room and Darren you you heard it

287
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: in the press room, right, I mean there was some

288
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: well I didn't. Let's I want to make this very

289
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: clear because I brought it up a couple of times. Okay,

290
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,479
Speaker 1: I heard you here. I heard like one off explatives.

291
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: It's not like I heard like this stream of yelling

292
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: and people yelling at each other. That's not what I heard.

293
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: I heard. I heard explatives, which is what you would

294
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: expect after some very angry people lost a close game.

295
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: So after that, okay, after the cool down period, after

296
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: the head coach spoke, some team leaders spoke. According to

297
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore, part of the message sent in that locker

298
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: room was that the urgency has to get better, not

299
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: necessarily on game day, but leading up to the game.

300
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: And if you had rewind it two weeks ago advanced

301
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: Joseph I thought, had a somewhat telling comment. Now he

302
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: was talking in general about just NL life in the

303
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: NFL and young guys. But his comment was that the

304
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: process of winning is harder than winning on game day,

305
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: meaning the process the Monday through Saturday. That process is

306
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: harder than the actual process of four quarters on game day.

307
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: And that's what the young guys in particular have to learn.

308
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: And I wonder if this team has learned that yet.

309
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: And I wonder if that wasn't part of the message

310
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: after the loss here this past week in Minnesota that

311
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: guess what the sense of urgency? Because Cliff Kingsburys in

312
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: the press conference, he said it on his TV show

313
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: this week, you know what, you just can't kind of

314
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: go through the motions during practice to say I'll get

315
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: it right come game day. And I think there has

316
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: been too much of that. We've been hearing that since

317
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: week two. After the Week one loss of the Chiefs,

318
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: we were automatically hearing we need better practice habits, we

319
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: need a better sense of urgency. We need to have

320
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: guys ready. Wasn't what is happening during the week And

321
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: if the issue is practice habits, okay, sure, like coaching

322
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: staff takes some responsibility there. If it's a sense of urgency.

323
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: What is this coaching staff supposed to do to inject

324
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: a sense of urgency into these professional athletes? That to

325
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: me is on the players. Why don't you have any

326
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: sense of urgency? If that's what the case is, And

327
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: just to play along and to maybe try and answer

328
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: that question, because I'm not inside that locker room, I

329
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: would say two things. One, guess what you're looking at?

330
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: A failure of a season at three and five with

331
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: three division games straight ahead, so the time is now.

332
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: Once again, I use the whole mid term analogy. You're

333
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: going to funk this class if you don't ace the

334
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: mid term. And then number two, guess what Hard Knocks

335
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: is in town? Your name and face is going to

336
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: be on it. So you can come out and you

337
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: can look at what happened to the Colts a year ago,

338
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: their turnaround and the run they made down the stretch

339
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: before a heinous, miserable loss in the final game the

340
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: year at Jacksonville. They actually went on a run and

341
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: it coincided with the arrival of Hard Knocks. Yes, that's true,

342
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: so as the team's sort of been waiting for this moment,

343
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: that's my only question. Where the Colts three and six,

344
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: real close to very close. It was I don't know,

345
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: it's they, it's no, and it's a it's a fascinating concept.

346
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: I just like to stay for the record. Danny Paul

347
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: says he doesn't want to be on camera, but he's

348
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: like down on the sideline where they're going to get

349
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: the bulk of their stuff, and like, if we don't

350
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: wear where's waldo him? At least a couple of times

351
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: will be stunned. Paul's gonna have on his hand that

352
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: isn't holding the microphone. He's gonna write in the palm

353
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: of his hand, HI Mom. And he's just gonna wait

354
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: about the cameras, right, I'm behind the cameras. I'm jockeying

355
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: for position with the camera people. That's the problem. I'm

356
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: not in front of the lands. I'm actually getting hit

357
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: by the back of the camera down there is what's happening,

358
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: you know. I The Hard Knocks thing is fascinating to

359
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: me because no matter what direction this season goes, right,

360
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be captured and we're going to the three

361
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: of us who were embedded with this team basically, right,

362
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: but we don't get to see most of this stuff.

363
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: We Ultimately, we can talk to people, but this group

364
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: is pretty buttoned up. I've been around a lot of

365
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: different teams, a lot of different coaches, a lot of

366
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: different players. The players don't say a whole lot, the

367
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: coaches don't say a whole lot. I mean, and we're

368
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: gonna have some stuff revealed to us. I would think

369
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: if you saw the trailer that was just put out

370
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: effective today, there was a little clip, a snippet in

371
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: there that no one had seen. And it was Buddha

372
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: Baker after the Eagles loss at home, basically given a

373
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: very passionate, passionate postgame speech. Everybody on a knee and

374
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker's standing their team captain, basically yelling, I'm sick

375
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: and tired of losing at home. And then, of course

376
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: the Cardinals did something about that and they ended the

377
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: home losing streak. But there have been a couple referrals

378
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: to that by the head coach, by a couple other

379
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: players of Buddha had something to say after the Eagles loss.

380
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: And you saw it, You saw there, and man was

381
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: he animated? And that was something I heard. You might

382
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: have heard it too. Sent in the front row in

383
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: the pressing room, which is very close to where those

384
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: lockers are at State Farm Stadium, and so we were waiting,

385
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: at least I heard. I couldn't hear specifically what was

386
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: being said, but waiting in the front row for those

387
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: doors to open to go into locker room postgame, you

388
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: could hear somebody was yelling passionately, and so that's what

389
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: that was. It's amazing how thin the walls can be

390
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: in some of these stadiums when guys get animated heard it.

391
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: Although I will say old school stories back in sun

392
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: Devil Stadium after a particular loss and we're all waiting,

393
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: and the way it used to work at sun Deville stadiums,

394
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: you were literally waiting in a hallway literally right outside

395
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: the doors of the Cardinals locker room where they would be,

396
00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: and Raynock Thompson was yelling so loudly that A we

397
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: totally knew it was Ray Knock Thompson, and be we

398
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: could make out what he was yelling, and it ended

399
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: up in everybody's story the next day. I mean, we

400
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: weren't in the locker room, but we might as well

401
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: have been because the doors didn't contain it. That's good stuff.

402
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: I remember back in those days. I'm trying to remember.

403
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: Did the head coach actually have his own little press conference?

404
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: There was a second there was a press conference room

405
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: right across, and they would bring the coach in there,

406
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: and they once in a while they'd bring other guys,

407
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: but most of the time you'd be going a locker

408
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: room and it was separated a little bit better. And

409
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: I just want to stay. For anybody who's seen Jerry McGuire,

410
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: I know you probably haven't, Danny, but I have. Actually

411
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: really yeah, I saw it for the first time a

412
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: little more than a year ago. Okay, there you go.

413
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really old right now. The scene at the

414
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: end just drives me up the wall at Sundevil Stadium

415
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: where Cuba Gooding comes out of the locker room and

416
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: all the all the people are waiting to talk about

417
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: That's not how it happened. God, I hated that ever

418
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: since it came out. Why wouldn't we have gone in

419
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: the locker room, Why wouldn't even come into the room whatever.

420
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: By the way, I covered Super Bowl thirty in that

421
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: in that stadium, all my goodness was at a nightmare.

422
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: You talked about a crush of media members and not

423
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: being able to move any room, I mean no room whatsoever.

424
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys beat the Steelers and it was the

425
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: height of their popularity with eight minutes Emmet and Michael Irvin.

426
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: I was the biggest disaster ever. I need one of

427
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: those NFL films Boom mics Ago about twenty feet in

428
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: length just to get my mic in there. I was absurd.

429
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: So here's my other theory. All right, there are predictions

430
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: all around. By the way, Pat Peace prediction didn't work

431
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: out a little bit later, if you're lucky, I'll tell

432
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: you how my prediction of a JJ Watt two sack

433
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: game did work out. But I have a new prediction

434
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: right now. You realize the Seahawks after this Cardinals game

435
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: have to go to Munich to fly to Germany. Are

436
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: you jealous? You don't have to ask me twice for

437
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: road That would be really cool. That'd be really cool.

438
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering maybe they're a little distracted coming into

439
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: this game a little bit. I'm trying to remember when

440
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals had a game in London when they who

441
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: do they playing Munich? They played Tampa. Yeah, so I

442
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: mean there's gonna be a lot of fanfare, obviously, I

443
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: read a story in the Sports Business Journal when they

444
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: put those tickets for sale in Germany that at one

445
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: point on Ticketmaster online, there were over a million people

446
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: in q what trying to buy tickets for that game.

447
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: So if you don't think the NFL didn't notice that,

448
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: and the NFL isn't doesn't have designs on more games

449
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: in Germany, it wasn't all German people though, right, No,

450
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: it was. It was open because the Brady factor, the

451
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: Seahawks traveling factor. I'm sure all play. I mean, if

452
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: you're a Seahawks fan, just like when when the Cardinals

453
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: went to London, if you have a chance to travel

454
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: to London, go to London for a week when you

455
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: maybe you've never been there, and go see your favorite

456
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: team play, that's that's million across, but a million people.

457
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: That's And the first ever NFL regular season game in Germany,

458
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's historic. The Cardinals. There's gonna

459
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: be over one hundred thousand people at the forty nine

460
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: ers Cardinals game in a couple of weeks in Mexico City.

461
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: We've seen that once already. So the question is, well,

462
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals still be in contention, so you have a Seahawks. Look,

463
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: we can talk all about the Seahawks we want just

464
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: played him. That's great. Geno's balling, okay, you know number

465
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: one in completion percentage, he's top four and passer rating.

466
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: You know, Kenneth Walker is legit. We get it. They

467
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: fix the defense. They've been really good basically ever since

468
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals game. That's great, that's the opponent. Aren't there

469
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: enough issues for the Cardinals. Shouldn't all the focus really

470
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: be on this team right here, right now? And when

471
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: I say self inflicted, and we can get into that,

472
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: and you know, we can be dubious on that assessment

473
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: or what have you bought? What is the confidence level

474
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: that you think enough of these can be corrected that

475
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: the Cardinals can change the course of their season. I mean,

476
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: what is the confidence level and that day? I mean,

477
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: because they are correctable, let's face it, they really truly

478
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: are self inflicted, is it gonna change? I think the

479
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: self inflicted wounds when you look at penalties, burning timeouts

480
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: to avoid delay of game penalties, that kind of stuff

481
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: can be fixed. When I'm thinking about the self inflicting

482
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: wounds on offense and the pieces you have which for

483
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: a good portion are a lot of the pieces you

484
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: had last year. The clear miscommunication on routes, passes being underthrown,

485
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: the blocking, not having holes for your running backs to

486
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: go through. I can't believe I am sounding like Darren

487
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: twice in one podcast. How fixable are these? I truly

488
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what if it were that easy,

489
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: wouldn't they have made those changes by now? It's so

490
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: much more than just saying you didn't have de Hoop

491
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: for six weeks and then you don't have Hollywood Brown.

492
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they can't figure it out

493
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: when you're looking at finding that rhythm offensively and scoring touchdowns.

494
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't I know. It's not easy. It can't be easy,

495
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: because easy easy. If it were easy, we would be

496
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: out there doing it. We wouldn't be sitting here in

497
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: a podcasting you're talking about it's right. Well, I will

498
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: say this for the first time maybe all season. I

499
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: did look at the Cardinals offense and say it's a

500
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: personnel issue. When you were missing three or five starters

501
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: on the offensive offensive line, thing doesn't help. I don't think. Yeah,

502
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: otherwise you can say, okay, you know what in terms

503
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: of matching up talent for talent, Cardinals have had enough

504
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: to win every single game. But in this game against Minnesota,

505
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: against the Darius Smith and Daniel Hunter and Josh Jones,

506
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: your left tackle, and Cody Ford is still getting up

507
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: to speed, and Billy Price obviously at moments where he struggled.

508
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: And so to go from DJ Humphrey's Justin Petered Rodney Hudson,

509
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: who are three legitimate Pro Bowl caliber type players with

510
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: a lot of smarts and a lot of experience. Between

511
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: those three, you know that obviously was a big liability.

512
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: All told, Kyler still was only sacked four times, twice

513
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: on the final two plays of the game. I get it,

514
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: but he was hit and he was harassed. And we

515
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: know when Kyler's under duress, he has a tendency to

516
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: get some of those happy feet, and already he's had

517
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: accuracy issues, especially downfield, and that certainly didn't help. While

518
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: the long interception was not in this, I mean, he

519
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: just got collapsed upon and he shouldn't have thrown the ball.

520
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: That's on him, But I mean he never really had

521
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: a chance. So but even like the AJ Green where

522
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: he missed AJ Green on the first possession, it should

523
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: have been six against Pat. Pat pe was celebrating like

524
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: he had made some great plan. I'm like, you just

525
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: got that hand delivered. By the way, you're close with

526
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, Paul, what's going on there? What? Why? Why?

527
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: Why did he not bring some of this stuff up,

528
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: you know last year or when he left? And more importantly,

529
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: were you leaving things on his stool? Don't you think? Okay,

530
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: let's let's take that in reverse order. Let's take that

531
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: in reverse order. You know Pat p as well as

532
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: I do. Yes, yes, yes, I've him seen a number

533
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 1: of his charity events, and I've got to know him

534
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: and his wife and and the lovely people. Really I've

535
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: always liked Patrick. Yes, but when it comes to some

536
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: of his dealings with the media, there can be an

537
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: awareness issue. I'll just leave it at that. Um there

538
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: just is. Uh. But Pat is pretty obviously is a

539
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: pretty open book. So if something like that had happened,

540
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: I just tend to believe we would have known about

541
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: it off the record through back channels. He would think

542
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: we would have known about it. He would think he's

543
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: not one to really keep the silence, as we just witnessed.

544
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: That's what I always thought, Or when it happened, it

545
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: didn't bother him nearly as much, and now he has

546
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: the ability to use it as some kind of now

547
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: now why he went off to such a degree, because

548
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: he was by far the most animated and demonstra player

549
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: on that field. He was there. You go, that's a

550
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 1: great that is a great theory. You're absolut right, you

551
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: know what, we could just end it right there. You're right.

552
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: He wasn't miked up in Week two or twenty twenty one.

553
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: He was miked up in this edition. So that could

554
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: he played better this year too, and he certainly didn't

555
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: play it. And look, we said it on a sideline

556
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: during the game. If he would have been that aggressive

557
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: and that physical his last couple of years with the Cardinals,

558
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: he might still be a Cardinal because we didn't see

559
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: any of that sort of physicality towards the end in

560
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: his career with the Cardinals. And quite honestly, and I

561
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: don't mind saying this, that when your highest paid player

562
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: on defense isn't giving it as all or willing to

563
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: put his body on the line, then that gets contagious.

564
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: The rest of the defense says, well, that guy's not

565
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: going to try and make the open field tackle and

566
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: throw his shoulder pads into it. Then I'm not yeah,

567
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: I would, and I'll say this, I just I felt

568
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: like it got so personal, and not just the Steve

569
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: Kime stuff, but like you know, if you're mocking Kyler

570
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: with the video game stuff, I'm like, yeah, that that

571
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: was that. It was all that's all ways for other

572
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: than it was all towards Look, I obviously wasn't here

573
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: when Patrick Peterson was here. It was from what it

574
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: sounds like with the podcast and the gaming celebration and

575
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: you know Kyler Murray's touchdown celebration that Pat p did

576
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: in the end zone, it all seemed directed just towards Kyler.

577
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: And then at the end of the game he was

578
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: going off on general manager Steve Kin, But it was

579
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: all about Kyler. It's it's it's just a whole. But

580
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean again, and I look, I understand I said

581
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: this in the mailback. I understand why a guy would

582
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: be mad at the organization or the general manager if

583
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: you felt like he left you hanging or or they

584
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: he discarded you, which is essentially what they did. I

585
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: get that, um, but I don't I didn't hear anybody

586
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: saying anything last year about the Cardinals making the wrong decision.

587
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: You know, Patrick was okay last year. I don't think

588
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: he did anything next level. And you know, you let

589
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: chaydler Jones go this year and he's got fifteen tackles

590
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: and a half a sack so far. And the other

591
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: thing when it comes to past, I mean, Patrick's been

592
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: mad at this team for a long time. He asked

593
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: for the trade in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. He

594
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: was salty at the team for not redoing his contract

595
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: because once he got suspended for the Peeds, he was

596
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: mad that the team wouldn't redo his contracts so he'd

597
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: get more money. Allah what the Browns did with Deshaun Watson,

598
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: and which I don't understand why. I understand why you'd ask.

599
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you'd be angry if they didn't

600
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: do it. Once again, he just he conveniently forgets that

601
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: he demanded a trade in the middle of the twenty

602
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: eighteen season and then he was the one who got

603
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: suspended for six games. It just you know, and look

604
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, I was sort of

605
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: half and half half the people ignored Pat. Half the

606
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: people went over and shook his hand from the Cardinals.

607
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: From the Cardinals, and I would have gone. If I

608
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: was out there on the field, I would have gone

609
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: and said hide, and I did. I said, you know,

610
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: and so I did. And then I went back behind

611
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: the bench to grab my bag. And everyone had left

612
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: the sideline at this point to go to midfield. And

613
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: his whole Steve kind thing actually started with yours truly, man,

614
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: because as I grabbed my bag, I come back out

615
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: around the bench and he's looking at it because he

616
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: had just the last guy he had talked to was

617
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy. Murph leaves to go to midfield, and Pat

618
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: now is looking to me and me only, Hey, PAULI,

619
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: where's Steve Gime? Where's Gime? Where is it you? The

620
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: old thing? Well, cam Cox or here's it? Comes over

621
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: with a camera, puts it in Pat's face and he

622
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: repeats the whole line, this time on camera fault. And

623
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: then he did it. He did it to the reporters

624
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: in a locker into You're right, he did in front

625
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: of his locker, and so I wasn't giving it up,

626
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: but it was enough anyway. It was palpable. It was

627
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: all game, and he was barking and uh, you know,

628
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: and and okay, uh and he made some plays, but

629
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: there were two under throws where Cardinals had opportunities and

630
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: it just wasn't there. And aren't there some analytics as

631
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: a segue into Kyler just real quick, aren't there some

632
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: analytics that his deep ball accuracy is indeed way down?

633
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: I have not seen that. I think it's Next Gen's

634
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: stats if you look at it, and they document. But

635
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: he was the best eat ball thrower in the league

636
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: last year. Yes. And on the other side of that,

637
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: I was looking at his pass chart on next gens stats.

638
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: He threw forty four passes. Twenty four of them were

639
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: within five yards of the line of scrimmage, thirteen of

640
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: them were at the line of scrimmage or behind it. Wow.

641
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Wow. Yeah, when we talk about the

642
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: downfield passing game is definitely missing this year, that's evidence

643
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: thereof obviously. But again, when we started talking about this

644
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: last game in particular, how much of that was the

645
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: offensive line and being concerned that he wasn't going to

646
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: get the protection he needed. Yeah, against those pass rush absolutely,

647
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: Yet Yeah, d Hop had twelve grabs or a buck

648
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: fifty nine on thirteen targets, and then Rondale Moore with

649
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: those two big downfield targets later in the game. Ended

650
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: up was seven receptions for ninety four yards. So you

651
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: saw the talent at receiver obviously, if Robbie Anderson can

652
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: get worked into this thing somehow, some way, and you

653
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: saw his ability to separate. The throws weren't on the money.

654
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: But to your point, Danny, there was zero run game.

655
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: The Cardinals got out rushed in the game one seventy

656
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: three to seventy eight, and the Vikings at six yards

657
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: of carry, that's a big deal. I don't think it

658
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: would have looked much different had James Connor been healthy

659
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: enough to play, who's been dealing with a ribs injury.

660
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that play was on you know, Benjamin

661
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: meaning there weren't many runney lanes, no, and you know

662
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: has played well. Kyler Murray was your leading rusher. He

663
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: had what I think thirty six rushing yards and you

664
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: know had twenty two or twenty eight. I just don't

665
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: think it would have looked much different if you had

666
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: your number one running back out on the field. It

667
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: just wasn't there for the Cardinals on Sunday, So we'll

668
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: see if they can run it against a Seattle defense

669
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: that if you saw shut down se Quon Barkley, the

670
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: NFL's leader in scrimmage yards and the number two overall

671
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: rushing offense in New York Giants, and they just held

672
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: him to a season law. The Seahawks run defense absolutely

673
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: contained se Quon Barkley. I will say though, that for

674
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: all the problems the Cardinals have had this season, there's

675
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: no way the Cardinals passing game isn't better than the

676
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: passing game, especially right now with the Giant's lack of receivers.

677
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: So the problem is is I don't want to get

678
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: ahead of my skis. And when the Cardinals played the

679
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: Seahawks the first time, the Seahawks had had horrific defense

680
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do anything. Now, that happened to be

681
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of this stretch, as you mentioned, but I

682
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: don't know well. And look, the turnovers were the killer,

683
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: yes so, and that's something that had not played the

684
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals until a week eight. They were tied for

685
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: second fewest turnovers in the NFL. And then along comes

686
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings game and the two picks and the muff

687
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: punt and boom, there you go. It's like I was

688
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: talking about with Craig Griolou uncovered too, the little things

689
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: are big things in the NFL, and then the big

690
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: things are game changers. And those turnovers were such that

691
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: it was too much to overcome, especially on the road.

692
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: So now, guess what you're going against a Seahawks team,

693
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: and you wonder what's the other thing that's interesting about

694
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: this offense was the fact that they were indeed huddling more.

695
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: And because of the huddle, Kyler Murray is wearing that wristband,

696
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: the laminated playsheet on the wristband, and apparently the two

697
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: go hand in hand. They're SYNCD up because when in

698
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: the huddle, he gives him greater ability to communicate some

699
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: of these plays that are coming in. According to Cliff Kingsbury,

700
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: we didn't get a real definitive statement as to why

701
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: exactly he's wearing the wristband, but it does have something

702
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: to do with the huddle and trying to improve communication.

703
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's fun. I'm gonna I want to

704
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: work on a story on this this week because I

705
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are talking about the whole situation,

706
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: the whole play calling and all that stuff. And you know,

707
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: it makes some sense to me if you send in

708
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: a single number and all he has to do is

709
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: look at it and then rattle it off as he

710
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: reads it to the people in the huddle, where as

711
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: opposed to you can't really they do that at the

712
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage if everybody's out right, um so or

713
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: Cliff reciting the entire play in the headset instead of

714
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: just calling out a number. But I'll have to say,

715
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, Cliff said, we're working out some of the

716
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: kinks because we've never really done that before. But I

717
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: would just think it would be really simple. If all

718
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: Cliff is doing a saying call play seven, right, and

719
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: then you're in the huddle, and then all Kyler is

720
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: doing is reading it off, You would think that would

721
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: quicken things up quite a bit, because how much time

722
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: do you when when the when the speaker goes off

723
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: in the helmet and the play clost it's at the

724
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: fifteen second mark. Yet how often are the Cardinals breaking

725
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: the huddle with less than fifteen seconds on the flat?

726
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: I think it's the other way around. How often are

727
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: they breaking the huddle before with more than fifteen seconds,

728
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: because I hardly I don't. I don't think. I mean,

729
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if they ever are Wait say it again.

730
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying when you when they break the huddle. What

731
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying is you're saying, okay, y, yeah, I get it. No,

732
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you have Polly simple No, Polly Simpleton over here. No.

733
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: I realize it's a constant just like trying to get

734
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: me to ascertain things, it's a constant challenge trying to

735
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: beat the play clock. It shouldn't be this difficult. It's

736
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals against the play clock. Two out of

737
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: every three snaps that that could be one of the

738
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: self inflicting wounds. Yes, so why that is? And I

739
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: get it. You have three new offensive linemen, you have

740
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: a brand new receiver was in there not as often

741
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: as you would have thought, a Robbie Anderson. And then

742
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: you have other chemistry issues. I mean, Kyler has never

743
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: been in sync with aj Green, and he doesn't look

744
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: like he's all that in sync with zach Ertz either. Yeah,

745
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: that was that's confounding, especially since zach Ertz was supposed

746
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: to be the big answer against that zone coverage by

747
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings right, zach Ertz the master of finding space

748
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: in a zone, and it just you just feel like

749
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: Kyler zach Ertz are leaving so many yards out in

750
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: that field game after game, and especially this game where

751
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: tight ends have had a lot of success against this

752
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: Seattle defense. If you look at some of the numbers,

753
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: you would think, Okay, here's another big game potentially for

754
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: zach Ertz. They have some young corners out there. Seattle does,

755
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: although they have a real steal in the draft, the

756
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: round five six four corner Terrik Woollan, who has four

757
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: interceptions on the air. He's the guy who intercepted the

758
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: ball against Hollywood Brown at the end of the Week six,

759
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: and he was right there step for step, stride for

760
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: stride with Hollywood because he is a burner and he's tall,

761
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: and that's going to be a really interesting matchup against

762
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins if they decide to man him up and

763
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: that's a matchup zone of sorts or whatever they do.

764
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's I just want you're putting the huddle

765
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: in at this point in the season, Okay, what else

766
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: is coming the way in terms of adjustments? Alterations? Are they?

767
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: Are they at that point it goes beyond fine tuning

768
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: well to actually some pretty major change. Because if you

769
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: ever would have thought that Cliff Kingsbury was going to

770
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: adopt the huddle in the middle of a season, I

771
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: almost think like we're under playing this significance of that.

772
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: And that's kind of why I want to do a

773
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: story and I'm gonna say this, there's a lot of

774
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: I feel like there's some people are like, what you know,

775
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: how how are you not doing this or what? And

776
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: I feel like saying, isn't this what everybody wanted? Everybody's

777
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: saying why aren't you changing? Why aren't you doing something different? Well,

778
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: if they're trying something different and there's gonna be some

779
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: bumpyiness to it, if they're going to try something significantly different,

780
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't sit there and say they're they're

781
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: not doing it right. They should completely they need to

782
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: change something. And then when they change something, you say,

783
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: why are you changing things? That's how I felt when

784
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: they did their first walk through, which I believe is

785
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: the plan for this Wednesday, correct, you mean the closed

786
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: walk right on Wednesday? Yes, And the first time they

787
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: did that was was that before Seattle. The first time

788
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: might have been. But yes, the this week's this week

789
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday practice is just going to be a walkthrough. And

790
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: but that I'm agree with your point of if you're

791
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: gonna shout from the rooftops, make some changes, something's not working,

792
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: and then this team starts to make you can't yell

793
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: at them for trying to make changes and figure out

794
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: what's well. You can they can yell at whatever they want. Here,

795
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask the question that everybody's wondering. You're way

796
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: too excited about that, You are not excited enough. If

797
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: the team is talking about how practice isn't good enough,

798
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: about how there needs to be more urgency and practice,

799
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: then why is there a walkthrough on a Wednesday? Is

800
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: it because of the injury situation? And I bring that

801
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: up because I did want a reference. What was the

802
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: tweet you sent out as some sort of analytics analysis

803
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: who's the most injured? What was that? It was some

804
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: kind of rating on who has impacted the most on

805
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: because of injuries, and so it wasn't just sheer number

806
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: of injuries like it was like the impact if you

807
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: feel like if you read it like it was like

808
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: the closer you were to one hundred, the better off

809
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: you were, you weren't affected as much, bets because the

810
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: Eagles were over ninety. I think they were the only

811
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: ninety team and impacted the least on injuries or something.

812
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: And the Cardinals were last in a league. And that's

813
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: what's truly ironical, is I create a word about this season,

814
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,479
Speaker 1: is that if the Cardinals were indeed easing their way

815
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: into this season, if they were indeed running a marshmallow

816
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: camp in August and trying to make sure everyone stays

817
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: healthy for the stretch run November December, in January, oh boy,

818
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: anything but has materialized. Well, Rodney Hudson's never been healthy,

819
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: Like he essentially came into camp unhealthy. And I'm you know,

820
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: he said originally one of the reasons he considered retirements

821
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: so heavily was because he wasn't sure if his body

822
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: could still do it. And I think it's becoming clear

823
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: that it's his body can't still do it. What is

824
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 1: the listed injury knee? Yes, and there's no clarity. Would

825
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: you even care to just irresponsibly speculate on the future

826
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: of Ronnie Hudson. I'll take anything at this point. I mean,

827
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: we're sitting here on a Tuesday morning, Cliff Kingsbury already

828
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: ruled him out for the Seattle game on Monday. So,

829
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and when you see him on the sidelines

830
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: during games, he's there, but you're down there more than me, Paul,

831
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: but it looks like he's limping still. He does have

832
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: a hitch in the giddy up, There's no doubt about it. So,

833
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I don't know how much you

834
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: can necessarily count on that, Okay, I feel like I

835
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: just ruined his day. Well, and the unfortunate The unfortunate

836
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: part is, and this isn't necessarily on Billy Price or

837
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: Max Garcia last year, per se or a little bit

838
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: of Sean Harlow going back to last year, there is

839
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: a significant difference and how Kyler Murray in this offense

840
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: operates when Ronnie Hudson is not in at center. And

841
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: that's not so much a knock on the other players,

842
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: more so a knot of respect of what Ronnie Hudson

843
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: brings to this team. And we've heard that from coaches

844
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: and his teammates about not just the physical play, but

845
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: how smart he is and how he sees the game

846
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: and sees defenses. In that connection with Kyler Murray. But

847
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: that that's the we're big worrisome for me is there's

848
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: a big difference when Ronnie Hudson is not on the

849
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: field for Kyler Murray. Look, Dalvin Tomlinson was a problem

850
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: until he left the game in the second half. Cardinals

851
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: did not have to go against al Woods. The big

852
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: interior d lineman for Seattle, arguably their best player on

853
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: that front four. So he's going to be a factor

854
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: in this game. It is a big deal. And any

855
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: quarterback the interior pressure, but especially a five foot ten

856
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. So that is one of the first things

857
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: that I always look at is Okay, how's that pocket

858
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: pocket holding up from the inside out? And at times

859
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: he definitely had time against the Vikings. I tell you

860
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: what the Vikings those sending is Darius Smith straight up

861
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: the middle on a few of those te games. That

862
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: was really well done, really well done. That's how he

863
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: got his first two sacks. He ended up with three

864
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: on the game. And you know that's that was a

865
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: nice little move by ed Donna. Tell their their defensive coordinator.

866
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 1: It was effective. And guess what, you're probably gonna see

867
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: it again because how does it work in the NFL.

868
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: You see it until you stop it, so we'll see

869
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: what else is coming their way. But speaking of getting

870
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, how about J J Watt? How about

871
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: those those two sacks. Let's hear your prediction. So there

872
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: I was. It was four hours before kickoff, and it

873
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: was in Minnesota, and I'm out on the field. I'm

874
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: taking the obligatory picture of the field and the venue

875
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: and the whole deal for Twitter, which you know, I

876
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: get zero traction and response out of whatever I go

877
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: down swinging anyway, So boom, as I'm leaving the field,

878
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: JJ Watt is attempting to come onto the field. Now

879
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: what do you mean by attempting. Well, he had a

880
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: cup of hot coffee in his hand, and the yellow

881
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: security jacket guy says, sorry, sir, no beverage is on

882
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: the field. Never really seen that rule before, especially we're

883
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: talking about plane surface that'll have blood and sweat and

884
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: spit on it, but no coffee. I mean, man just

885
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: wants to be alone in his thoughts. That he actually

886
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: smiled and kind of did the old okay, all right,

887
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: and he stopped and he sort of had some of

888
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: his coffees. I walked away, So I just went on

889
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: the air. I needed something to open the broadcast with.

890
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: I said, well, Pat pe can predict two interceptions. I'm

891
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: going to predict predict to JJ Watt Sacks based on

892
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 1: the fact that you just triggered the man, the yellow

893
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: security guy down there, and what happened boom, a couple

894
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: of sacks. Of course, he might have been playing in

895
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: honor of his newborn son a lot more than the coffee.

896
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: But I just you know, it's made for good copy,

897
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: that's all. And see, Paul, that's why you're the best

898
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: at your job. Do you see those things that nobody

899
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: else does. That's what I get for flexing and telling

900
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: my little story. I get it. Just so I'm supporting you.

901
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: The snarky comment, that was not snarky, that was genuine.

902
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: This is what Danny, She's got troubles here because now

903
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: we can't tell the difference between snark and genuine. I mean,

904
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: Jared Allen, Jared Allen rides a horse out under the

905
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: field and the potential for a mess there and he

906
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: can't bring a cup of coffee. Actually, come that you

907
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: didn't say that, just like what happens. And now now

908
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: that you bring it up like that, is a good question,

909
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: like you're bringing a horse out there. And by the way,

910
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: the horse came out with Jared Allen a half to

911
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: It also came out like two or three times pre

912
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: game as they tested him out. The horse has needs.

913
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm just glad the horse was okay with all that noise,

914
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: all those fans at halftime cheering, I'm just surprised he

915
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: was able to make it through all the snow. I'm

916
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: just saying, that's the fake snow coming down. Thank goodness

917
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: we were in the second row and that the press

918
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: box is open, so there's no glass blocking us from

919
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: the top row of the fans, And thank goodness we

920
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: were in the second row, because the journalists that were

921
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: in the front row, probably unbeknowns to them, looked like

922
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: they had some really bad Dan draft because of the

923
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: snow that was falling on top of their heads. Danny

924
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: tried to talk to me about seventeen times during the game,

925
00:46:55,200 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: and she's like, and I can't hear her. Why what?

926
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: What did you say? That's exactly how every conversation went,

927
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: And finally I just gave up. I found out the

928
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: hard way that that stadium has panels, and they opened

929
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: up the panels, so there was a lot of cool

930
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota air in there, and I did not have a jacket.

931
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's I go down pregame and I got

932
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: my suit on and I do something on the on

933
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: the and I'm in the end zone right by where

934
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,760
Speaker 1: the panels are open, and it's chili down there, and

935
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: and Caitlin's cold, and somebody else I think, uh, Kyle

936
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: was cold. O our video and camera people thin blood.

937
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: And I tweet out the video and I said, so

938
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a chill now that the

939
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: panels are open. And some guy who I looked and

940
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: saw that he was a Vikings fan, he goes, where

941
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: are you from the desert? I was gonna say, someplace

942
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: where that's chili. Yeah, Oh my goodness. I think those

943
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: doors up and that's what allowed them to have so

944
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: many fireworks. I was startled the first like three times. No,

945
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: those aren't the door. That's not the doors. They do

946
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: that all the time. All right, Well, we've evolved into uh,

947
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, little side stories about game day. So we

948
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: gotta let Danny go. Yeah, any other permanently just right now,

949
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: anything else, any other bombshells coming, anything else? You expect.

950
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just glad you're still here after the

951
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: trade deadline. Paul. That's a that's right. They could have

952
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: thrown me in trying to make the numbers work. You know,

953
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: some of the salary cap implications. You know, so I'm

954
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: the epitome of a throwing Put it that way, and

955
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,719
