As 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:05.360 there ever been a better big red rage to hear 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:10.840 from a kicker Brown Wolfley. Did you watch the NFL 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.720 playoffs last weekend? As a matter of fact, I did, Paulie. 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:19.920 The special teams were found wanting. So you saw the 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.480 clutch kicks l Grande. You saw how three of the 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.760 four games ended on a walkoff win with a kicker 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.200 delivering the dagger. You saw the Niners and Robbie Gold 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.440 at Green Bay in the snow. You saw the rookie 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:39.160 Evan McPherson knock out the number one seed Tennessee. You 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:43.560 witnessed the Rams and Matt Gay at Tampa Bay. Yes, 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.520 I did. But there's a lot more to special teams ball. 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.080 There's a lot more to a football game than just 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.840 the kicker hitting a walkoff football. Now, Wolf, now I 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.200 have to transition. Has there ever been a worse time 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.639 for you to make that statement with our guest tonight, 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.840 Jay Feeling for Cardinals kicking great our special guest tonight 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.640 on the Big Red Race, And Jay's going to be 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.920 the first one to tell you that right now, there's 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.600 a lot more to it, Paul, than just the kicker 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.840 kicking the ball and walking off, Just like there's a 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.960 lot more to it than just a coin toss, Paul, 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:21.839 did you not see Harrison Butker's forty nine yard that's 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.680 sent the Chiefs nightcap against Buffalo into overtime? The game 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.000 that Jay Feeley works So well, we'll get into this 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.320 with Jay feel. I saw it, Polly. I also saw 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.679 the sea on his jersey. I see you you're maybe 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.120 a little haughty, a little haughty with your four Pro 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.440 Bowls on special teams. I get it, I get it. 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.280 You're just you're just not willing to give the crick 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.360 the credit in this one. You might also be a 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.679 little bit bitter, a little bit over the fact that 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.240 Jay Feely went from his playing career immediately to network 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.080 And we're in the CBS Blazer right on the sideline, 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.239 baub Where are you going with all of this, Polly, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.280 That's what I want to know. Well, it's our intro 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.560 to the original Thursday Night Football. It is the Big 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.160 Red Rage presented by Santa Forward in Gilbert. We are 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.919 Satan Forward, Paul KELBC, Ron Wolfley, and what a weekend 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.280 it was, Oh boy, I mean, you had serious drama 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.519 on the field in the playoffs and then you add 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.440 a Super Bowl press conference, Ron Wolfley, super Bowl fifty 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:20.600 seven next year is located where right here, Paul, right 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.160 here in the AC Thanks for working with me. Because 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.760 during that press conference or thereafter, the owner of the Cardinals, 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.320 Michael Bidwell, had a few things to say and an 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.799 Accentral dot Com among others, there was the use of 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.240 the word disappointing Ron Wolfley to sum up the Cardinals 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.760 finish to the season, and a couple of quotes along 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.960 the lines of and I do quote anytime you see 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.720 your direct competitors in the playoffs, it should bother any 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:50.320 football fan, and it certainly bothers this one. And you 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.040 didn't bother you, Paul, It's bothering me right now. Although 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.760 in retro's back to um. Yeah, the NFC, the NFC 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.040 West is the beating heart of the football universe. It 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.760 is the beating heart. We said this going into the season. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.400 It's been this way over the last two seasons, in particular, 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.920 it's been the best division in the game of football. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.880 And unfortunately right now for the Arizona Cardinals, they're not 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.080 in the NFC Championship game. But you know what two 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.640 NFC West teams are. We said it all season. If 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.760 you can get through the NFC West and get into 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.400 the playoffs, you're playoff ready. And guess what the Rams 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.880 and the forty nine ers have looked the part. Obviously, 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.000 the Cardinals do not at the La Rams. So you're 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.919 looking at the fact that old boy, you know, you 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.640 were able to able to slug it out and lead 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.880 the division for much of the year. You won three 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.480 out of four against these two teams in the regular seasons. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.320 So yes, anybody looks at the NFC Championship game, the 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:55.920 NFC best represented in the Cardinals division, and you wonder, man, okay, 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.200 you know what exactly happened and why it couldn't have 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.880 been us? You know what, Paul, honestly right now too, 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.120 I just gotta tell you this. You know, I was 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.880 really upset by this. I the Cardinals. All they had 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.120 to do was beat the Seattle Seahawks at home at 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.040 that State Farm Stadium. There they were, there were six 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.520 and ten the Seattle Seahawks. All they had to do 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.760 is go out and beat them at home, and they 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:23.320 would beat the NFC West champions. Now again in retrospect, 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.360 we can look back at it, and everyone was like, hey, 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.440 you know what, don't worry about it, because they're a 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.840 great road team. They're going to travel to so far 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.920 they've already won their once. And you know that's all true, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.080 there's no doubt about that. But man, it's the reason 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.960 why I was so greedy. I wanted that ball. I 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.640 wanted that badly to win the NFC West, knowing it 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.000 was the best division in football, and here it is 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.320 being proved out by virtue of the NFC Championship game. Yeah, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.160 and we can cite all the numbers you want from 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.760 that loss in Week eighteen or the loss against the 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.080 Rams in the playoffs, but it's comments like Cliff Kingsbury 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.120 after that loss at him to the Seahawks when the 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.640 division title ended up being on the line, when he 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:08.400 said an I quote, they wanted it more. And that's 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.520 what resonates to me. So as you go into the offseason, 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.960 you're trying to diagnose what happened at the end of 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.760 this past regular season, where with the playoff loss, you 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.400 lost five out of your final six and and then 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.920 you have to look at your roster and you got 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.680 to figure all right, who's part of the solution, who's 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.880 part of the problem. And here's Cliff Kingsbury before the 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.320 Cardinals departed on the offseason, just about roster planning. That's 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.520 an ongoing process and Steve does a great job of 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.599 getting right into it, and there'll be some tough decisions 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.160 to make and we got to figure some things out. Well, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.719 don't don't. Don't the decisions go beyond just the game film. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:49.080 Oh yeah, you got to figure out right the chemistry 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.600 and makeup of this team, and obviously that that can 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.440 be a hard that can be a moving target, that 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.200 can be really subjective. And so to me, this offseason 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.400 is as difficult as any, just for different reason. Then 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.000 perhaps when you were three and thirteen, No, Paul, you're 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.640 right about the man you really are, because once again, 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.400 it starts with a thought, Paul, it starts with a philosophy. 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.320 What is the Arizona Cardinals philosophy? That's what they'll do. 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.679 They'll sit around the big rectangle. It'll be Steve Kim, 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.240 it'll be Cliff Kingsbury, the coaches. They'll sit around that 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.280 big rectangle and say where do we want to go 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.680 as a football team, because you have to answer that 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.280 question before you go and get pieces that fit. Kind 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.400 of like going into last offseason, stop and think about it. 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.120 Steve Kim had two goals, get more physical and bring 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.920 better leadership into the locker room. He went out and 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.240 he did that in the off season. It starts with 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:47.200 a thought, it starts with a plan. And although the plan, 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.680 the best laid plans of mice and men off go awry, 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.480 and it did last year I think due to injury 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.040 with J. J. Watt d hop going down as well, 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.320 those two right there, Paul. The more I look back 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.160 on at Paul, the more I think those two losses 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:11.760 changed everything. Yeah, it changed the Cardinals offense. Obviously the 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.360 only legitimate number one wide receiver, and then he were 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.760 left wondering if you had a legitimate number two receiver. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.160 At times, You're right, there was a massive trickle down effect. 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.720 And then you know, there were two guys who weren't 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.840 just playmakers, they were mentalities. JJ Watt was one of them. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.560 The other one was James Connor to me. And then 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.920 when James Connor was banged up, especially in the playoff game, 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.200 and he's wearing the rib protection, he just wasn't the same. Yeah, 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.200 And you know, and then you wonder, at least I 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.720 did based on the reaction from guys on the bench 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.720 and just the vibe on the sideline. Was it akin 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.440 to when the Cardinals were between quarterbacks, when they were 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.680 between Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer, Carson Palmer and Kyler Murray. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.120 And once the team got down, the rest of the 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.120 team looked into at the quarterback or looked at that 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.360 they said, you know what, we don't have any chance 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.959 to get back into this game, and I think there 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.800 was a bit of that perhaps and why I have 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.520 no idea, that's just utter speculation. You talk about making 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.920 the decision and the decision makers. You know new multiple 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:12.240 reports out today Adrian Wilson might be a prime candidate 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.480 to be a GM in Jacksonville, along with potential head 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.040 coach Byron Leftwich right, and Paul, you know what, honest say. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.120 I don't mean to interrupt you here, but I want 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.040 to talk about that. But I think it's so important 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:30.400 you continue on the track of what the players need 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.760 to do and what the coaches need to do, what 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.560 the organization needs to do. The first thing, PAULI is 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.400 you gotta tell the truth. You gotta tell the truth 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:43.040 about what you saw. Forget about any type of agendas 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.480 that might sway you one way or the other. You 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.880 have to tell the cold, hard truth. It was one 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.360 of the reasons why when I heard JJ watsay it 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.800 was a massive failure, it filled me with hope, hope. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:59.720 It actually encouraged me to hear somebody like that character 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.760 and calling it exactly what it ultimately was. In light 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.800 of how well they had played over twelve weeks of 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.679 the season. I'm talking about three months of the season 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.360 the Cardinals had played ten and two. You have to 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.320 call it exactly what it is, so you tell the truth. 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.760 Everybody tries to be accountable to each other and accountable 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.680 for what happened in the second half of the season 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.920 again and how they played. And that starts with Kyler Murray. 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.640 It does. And then you can start trying to fix 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.080 things via the positions that you might actually bring in. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.320 And while he's still on the rookie contract, you have 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.280 to make some expenditures and you have to figure out, Okay, 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.800 once again, who's stand who's going. Guys like zach ERTs, 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.440 you gotta figure they're gonna go down swing and trying 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.560 to bring back the big tight end. And here he 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.560 is on the potential of continuing his career with the Cardinals. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.880 I've loved my time here in Arizona. I would love 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.600 the opportunity to continue here. There's a lot of things 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.439 out of my control. You got a lot of good 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.040 players at our free agents as well, so it may 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.480 not be even up to me, but it's been a 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.120 blessed thing to be able to be here. I've truly 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.440 loved it. My wife has obviously loved it. Obviously it 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.280 didn't end where we wanted it too, But I still 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.079 feel like we have unfinished business as a team. I 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.640 would love to be a part of it. We're gonna 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.040 get into some of these guys with Jay Feely, whether 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.160 it's the two tight end Zach Ertz and Max Williams, 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.360 whether it's Chandler Jones and James Connor, Aj Green, Christian Kirk, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.880 Chase Edmonds, you know, I mean, you know a Jordan 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.360 Phillips type, Colt McCoy, you know, even Robert Alfred who 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.800 went into the offseason injured. I mean there's almost thirty 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.440 guys where you have to make a decision on their 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.760 football future. Wolf and so you know there there's gonna 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.040 be an evolution to this roster. There's no doubt about it. 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.839 I think it will be telling asked to who gets 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.040 the contract offers and who does not. There's no doubt 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.120 about that, Paulie. And again, it starts with a plot, 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.960 starts with the philosophy, then you start playing in the pieces. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.440 Jay Feeley was on the sideline for Buffalo Kansas City. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.520 Was it the greatest game he ever witnessed? And he's 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.560 gonna be there for the AFC Championship game this weekend 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.920 as well. The former Cardinals kicker and CBS analyst up 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.760 next on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:26.640 in Gilbert fey Renny Zacidi to hold a sixty one 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.920 yard try ball is down to kick from Pheeley is up. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:35.640 It has the lag and it has Jay Feeley from 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:41.839 sixty one pig the k sixty one yard field goal 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.840 by j Peeley. The gotta be kinning me twenty three 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.320 yard attemp now by Jay Feeley, snap and it's a fake. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.200 They pitched the Feeley He's hunting like Peeley cup highlot 0:12:55.840 --> 0:13:02.280 fake field count down and Jay Feely with a University 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:07.480 of Phoenix stadium leaf that your offensive struggling? What's your 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.959 kicker has? I guess that's why Feely wears gloves as 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:17.839 a kicker. You know, the Denver Post stole day Pash's 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.800 line right there, because earlier today I went to verify 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.280 that game in some of the stats and in the 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.440 Google search first came up this Denver and that was 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.479 the lead line in the Denver Post story. So that's 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.600 why Jay Feely wears gloves. Polly, let me just tell 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.400 you right now. The reason why he wore gloves is 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.280 so he could jack you in the face if you 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.600 only kick her ever to want to jack you in 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.640 the face. Well, you heard two signature moments right there 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.040 from Jay's Cardinal's career, a career best and at the 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.040 time team record sixty one yard fuel goal against the Bills. 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.240 And then there was once upon a time when Jay 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.760 Feely scored twenty five points in the Cardinals game and 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.960 not the Cardinals, Jay Feely scored twenty five points with 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.400 five fuel goals and a touchdown run on the fake 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.719 fuel goal. And he's still gloves except now as an 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.080 analyst for CBS on the sideline of all these playoff games, Jay, 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.640 how are we doing? If you Steve frosted yet? It 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.640 wasn't too bad. It was kind of warm. I mean 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.319 for Kansas City in the middle of you know, January, 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.720 late January, it was pretty it was pretty warm on 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.640 the sidelines. And by the way, like doing that game 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:24.120 right there, it's the greatest game I've ever seen in 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:28.120 my entire life. Come on, really far by far, I mean, 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.600 if dandy on the sidelines, I've never done a game, Paul, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.560 you do a lot of games as well on the sidelines. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.120 I have never done a game where I'm working a 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.400 game and I'm literally screaming and yelling like a fan 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.320 on the sideline, you know, like just random people who 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:48.560 if I'm like, well, yeah, after play, after playing, it 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.760 was unbelievable. I've never seen a game. In fact, in 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.800 NFL history, there's never been a game thirty one points 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.840 scored after the two minute warning? Are you kidding me? Right? 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:03.040 It was ridiculous. Yeah, it was just high level plays. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:07.000 I mean it was just unbelievable play after play. Quarterbacks 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.120 putting them all in the right spot, guys making the catches, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.400 Tyreek Hill exploding on the sidelines. I mean, it was 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.040 just it was just the show. And you know, that's 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.880 one of those games where you're like, man, I get 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.080 paid to stand on the sideline and do that. That's 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.320 pretty cool. Jay. How about the entire weekend though? How 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.479 about that entire divisional playoff weekend? Who it was unbelievable, 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.120 was it not. It's the best weekend of NFL football ever. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.760 I mean, you can there's no way that weekend always 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.080 is the best weekend of the year. The division round 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.640 is the best weekend of football. Every single year. I 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.000 can't wait for that round because it's the best teams, 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.360 it's the best matchups, and to have all four games 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.640 come down to the last play of the game, Uh, 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.920 you know, it's just spectacular. And you know there was 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:54.120 there was great play, there was terrible special teams play. Yes, 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:58.560 you know, just agregious coaching. Um just but it was fascinating. 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.600 The whole weekend was fascinating, all right. And we're going 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.120 to get into the conference championship games in depth in 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.840 the next segment. But you mentioned Tyreek Hill. I'm just 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.840 gonna launch our Cardinal's discussion with a following question, And 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.480 this is a genuine question that I've posed before. Is 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.720 there any way Rondale Moore can be a poor man's 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.800 Tyreek Hill? Can the Cardinals deploy Rondale Moore in as 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:24.360 similar fashion as Tyreek Hill? Or on I off my rocker, J. 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.520 I don't think they're the same kind of player, you know. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.240 I just I don't think he's as explosive, you know, 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.280 as a Tyreek Hill. But I love the kind of 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.320 player that he is, and I love what he brought 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.520 to the team this year, and I think they can 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.520 continue to use him in so many ways, and if 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.520 you're creative enough and get the right matchups. Ron, you 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.480 know this, The NFL is about matchups. You know, if 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.600 you're gonna win in the NFL, you have to create 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.440 the right matchups and then your quarterback has to leverage 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.000 those matchups. That's what the Chiefs do better than anybody, 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:01.240 and they find great ways to to put Kelsey and 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:06.840 Tyree Hill in the right matchups, using formations, tendencies, motion, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.199 and using the defense against them to get them in 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:14.120 a position where Patrick Mahomes can exploit it. I think 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.520 you can do that if you if you do a 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.760 good job. You know, as an offensive coordinator with Cliff Kingsbury, 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.320 he can do a good job and he can use 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.439 Ronde more that way. I don't know that they're the 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.679 same kind of player though, Right, Jay, go ahead and 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.000 look at the Arizona Cardinals and just to your general 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.320 opinion on what happened the last couple of years in 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.960 the second half of the season and how you might 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:40.560 go about fixing it this offseason. Well, Ron, I was 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:44.040 listening to you the first ten minutes and you said 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:48.000 something that I know you know I agree with, but 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.280 you hit it on the head and that they have 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.960 to be honest with themselves. Yeah. And when I say 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:57.600 they and you you as well. You mean players looking 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.280 at themselves, yes, and being honest about where their deficiencies 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.280 are and how to how to get better. Coaches looking 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.160 at themselves and say where did I struggle? Where didn't 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.160 I do a great job? Why why do we continue 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.159 to not do well in the second half of the season. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.040 And I'll just point out that Sean McVay struggles in 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:17.840 the same way. He's had a lot of the same 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.199 struggles with his offense that Cliff Kingsbury has had. You 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.760 know that after they've gone through half a season, that 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.760 defense coordinators start understanding what they're trying to do and 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.159 how they're trying to do it, and they don't have 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.840 near as much success. Um, you know. So it's not 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.720 it's not something that is just Cliff Kingsbury when it 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.560 comes to that, Um, you know. But I think you're right. 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:41.760 I think it starts at the quarterback position. To me, 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.520 I think, um it was. It was very evident last 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.840 weekend when you watch Josh Allen, how how good he is. 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.000 You go back to his his rookie year, and people 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.800 were absolutely calling him a bust and saying that the 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.840 Bills made a very poor decision by moving up in 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.959 the draft to go get him and to make him 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.480 their quarterback. And I think what separates Josh Allen from 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.960 some other guys in the league is that he had 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:12.800 the humility to look at himself and to objectively look 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.760 at where his weaknesses were as then be proactive and 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.960 going out and getting somebody like a Jordan Palmer who 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.840 could help him to address those weaknesses, and then be 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.879 committed in the offseason, not to going and spending his 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.680 time having fun traveling, did all these things to say, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.560 now I'm going to spend three months out in California 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.119 with you, Jordan Palmer, and I'm gonna let you help 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.320 me get better as a quarterback and learn the game 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.560 and understand it from a mental perspective and understand it 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.640 from a physical perspective. And he did that every year 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.399 three years in a row. I think that's why you 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.080 saw how good he was on the field on Sunday. 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.160 And I don't believe he would have been that good 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.159 had he not taken those steps every off season. And 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:57.280 I think if you want to get to a championship level, 0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.480 that's what you have to do. And he was good. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.440 Statwells and the two playoff games, on the sixteen possessions 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.560 that he was on the field, the Bill score touchdowns 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.800 on twelve of the sixteen possessions. Think about that's unreal. Yeah, 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.960 And his first playoff game was pretty miserable. Lamar Jackson's 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.800 first playoff game was even worse. So these are I mean, 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.400 if nothing else, JA, what you're saying is Kyler needs 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.600 to be honest with himself based on that playoff performance 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:29.440 at LA and make improvements accordingly. I believe that's where 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.320 it starts. I think both the two most important people 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:36.560 in the organization are Cliff Kingsberry and Kyler Murray, and 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.879 obviously Steve kim Is as well Michael Bidwell. But I'm 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.680 just saying, from an on the field perspective, your head coach, 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.280 who's your play caller, and your quarterback are going to 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:49.320 dictate how far you go in each season and whether 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:51.000 or not you win in the playoffs, and they both 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.000 have to look at themselves and be honest and figure 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.840 out how. I get that. I think Cliff Kingsberry did 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.000 a pretty good job this year. I was impressed with 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.200 him is the most impressed I've been with him. And 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.879 I think back to Culte McCoy when he started for 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.600 those three games and how well they functioned offensively, and 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.040 what he was able to do to take his offense 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.119 and more fit and allow Culte McCoy to succeed. I 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.399 think he did a really good job and I think 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.040 they need to continue to build around that philosophy and 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.200 I think it can be successful. And you know, obviously 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:20.439 they're gonna have to go out and you have to 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:24.280 try to figure out the linebacker position. You know, you 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.600 got two first round picks and they have to get 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.160 on the field and they have to play, and they 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.640 have to be successful. You know, you need those two 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.720 guys out there playing helping your team, you know, And 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.199 that's something that has to be addressed this offseason. They 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.800 need they need a corner. They need to shut down corner. 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.199 I thyn get it. You need a number two receiver. 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.560 I think, um, you know, if you bring hot back 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.880 and you try to get a number two receiver. I mean, 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.719 obviously Christian took strides this year when they moved him 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.000
