00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang. On today's show, the Finals Show before

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: the Cardinals play the Lions at Stave Farm Stadium on Sunday,

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: the injury report, what's the status of Christian Kirk. We've

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: got MJ's three Keys to Victory and Devon Kinnard, three

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: games into his Cardinal's career, faces his former team. And

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: that's a storyline that pops up quite a bit this season.

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode three nineteen, and it starts now.

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with Craig Grigolu and Mike Jarecki.

00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hun Day, proud partner

12
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: throws near sight of Fritz bark He he's into the ends.

13
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: After the touchdown, here's Craig Grielu and Mike Jarecki. Well, yes,

14
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: it is a fits Friday. I'm sorry, a hashtag fits Friday,

15
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: hashtag football Friday. And you brought it up at the

16
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: start of this regular season. Now that we're going five

17
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: days a week here on Cardinals Cover two, we talk

18
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: about what Larry says on Thursday. We don't wait until Friday,

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: but we'll see. We'll still keep the hashtags going for

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: the bird gag. Yeah, I mean personally for me. You know,

21
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: when we're talking football Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, preparing for Sunday,

22
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: it football's every day for us. Well, and then on

23
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Saturday you got college football. Yeah, not covering it, but

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: watching it, you know, being a fan. So yeah, but

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: we can come out and say it's it's a football Monday,

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: football Tuesday. I mean, just because the game's not going on. Well,

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: let's hope we've got five days a week and seven

28
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: days a week all the way through January, not going

29
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: on wood maybe even into end of February. Well, we'll

30
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: see what happens. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

31
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are already counting as

32
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: a five n O start. But first things first, you

33
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: got to get past the Detroit Lions this Sunday. Yeah,

34
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you started mentioning December and January and February football. Wow,

35
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: you're usually kind of I know, we can all listen.

36
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: Our job is to look ahead, speculate, in the fans.

37
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: Obviously the team's not doing that, but kind of surprised

38
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: me there credit that you're talking about deep into January

39
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: and possibly February, unless I find out directly or indirectly

40
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: from the general manager, the head coach, or any of

41
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: the team captains that they are avid listeners to Cardinals

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Cover two and they do not like what we are

43
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: saying as far as looking ahead. But then I'll stop

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: until I get a text or a call from Larry Fitzgerald. Heck,

45
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: we can't even get him on this podcast, m J.

46
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: You know, hey, before he retires, I can promise you're

47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna get him mine. And then once he retires, we're

48
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna have him on once a week because he'll have

49
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: still this free time and hey, fitz you know what

50
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: are you doing today? What did you do this week?

51
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: You know he'll love it. Yeah, right, I'll be texting

52
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: him when he retires and he'll tell you I'm in

53
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: Italy right now, and you know, no disrespect, Mike. I'll

54
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: talk to you a few months. Yeah, they're to dream

55
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: here on Cardinal Free all right. Before we get into

56
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: your three Keys to Victory, we do need to update

57
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: the burd Gang on the injury reports and specifically wide

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: receiver Christian Kirk. He showed up on the injury report

59
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: on Wednesday with a growing injury, did not practice Wednesday,

60
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: did not practice Thursday, did not practice Friday, and officially

61
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: ruled out. It's unfortunate for him because there were all

62
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: kinds of expectations on him this third season. But with

63
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: him not playing, that certainly sounds like next man up,

64
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella, Keith, Shawn Johnson and maybe Trent Sherfield was

65
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: some opportunity to play a little bit more offense. He

66
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: was on the field for a couple of snaps late

67
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: in that game last week because Kirk was on the

68
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: sidelines trying to work through them tightness as according to Kingsbury,

69
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, for Christian Kirk, you know, Darren Locker clean

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: out last year. He told us he was playing through

71
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: some injuries, in particular, probably the lower extremities. He's missed

72
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: seven games going into this season. The team really benefited

73
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: from him, you know, obviously seeing out a few games,

74
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: not that that was the plan, but they also incorporated

75
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: eleven and twelve personnel, So you know, I'm sure it's

76
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: fasting for him because eventually he's going to approach a

77
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: contract here, and availability and durability are huge in this.

78
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: But again, I can't tell you how hard he worked

79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: in the offseason that they all did, not that everyone

80
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: was posted on social media. I just know from talking

81
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: to people how hard. And one of the reasons why

82
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: he to get more toned, whether it was running in

83
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: the sand in California, was because he wanted to withstand

84
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: some injuries. And you know when you talk about a

85
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: growing injury, a hamstring injury, a high ankle spring, those

86
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: things can linger. And you know, according to Kingsbury, it's

87
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: going to be week to week. Cardinals don't have a

88
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: bye week for a while. They haven't put him on

89
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: the ir to return, meaning possibly missing three weeks now.

90
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: Earlier in a week, just based on when heard Keyshawn Johnson,

91
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, the way he performed in training camp and

92
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: the way he's looked in practice. Now unfortunately missed the

93
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: time for the COVID thing, but I was thinking earlier

94
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: in the week it's possible Cardinals could dress six wide receivers,

95
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, and we know now with Kirk obviously listed

96
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: as out, I do think Andy Isabella will be your

97
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: third wide receiver, and he can play this slot even

98
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: though they want to keep on the outside. And then

99
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, Keishawn Johnson, a good route runner, needs to

100
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: come back for the ball, focus, get off press coverage.

101
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: And then as you mentioned Trent Sherfield, it's just seems

102
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: like he's been regulated to special teams. But if again Larry,

103
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: because Kirk was playing a good majority at the time,

104
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: so somebody has to take those reps, whether they run

105
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: the ball or throw the ball. So yeah, this opens

106
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: the door for Isabella, and I would say Johnson, and

107
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully for Sherfield, because I know, you know

108
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be pigeonholed just a special teams player.

109
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: Now that's keeping him in the NFL. But if you're

110
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna go for wide, I have no issue with him

111
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: being out there. You brought up Isabella as a slot receiver,

112
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: I could certainly see him playing both inside and outside.

113
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: But if you move Larry Fitzgerald inside, and then we

114
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: saw there was at least one time that I know

115
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: that it was DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald lined up

116
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: right next to each other, and that's certainly I mean,

117
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: if you just take a snapshot of that, and you

118
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: talk about all time great wide receivers, but that certainly

119
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: complicates things, certainly for Lions defense that has a very

120
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: young secondary in jeff A. Kuda, that cornerback. This will

121
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: only be his second game played and now all of

122
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, is he matched up against a legend if

123
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: you will, and Larry Fitzgerald. That would be interesting. Yeah,

124
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: you know that's going to be one of my keys.

125
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: And there they've been decimated in with injuries. Kuda he

126
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: got picked on, you know, kind of like Isaiah Simmons

127
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: did in his first game. He's going against Aaron Rodgers.

128
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: He was trying to cover Davantae Adams. That that's a

129
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: lethal combination. I mean, you could say one of the

130
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: best in football, even though I think the best new

131
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: combo is Kyler, Murray and Hopkins. But you know, they

132
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: got guys in ir they got guys missing practice time,

133
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: you know. But obviously all starts off front. But I

134
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: do think that's the way you can attack that secondary night.

135
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: You can't be in third and long. You got to

136
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: be in manage roll downs. We know the Cardinals, you know,

137
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: in the league, has a tendency to throw on for

138
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: a second, and we'll get into Kenny and Drake, because

139
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, he did talk about his numbers, and you know,

140
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: anybody also talked about, you know, getting in rhythm, so

141
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: it'd be interesting. But yeah, I agree with you when

142
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: you want to spread those guys out. This maybe I

143
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't say a huge advantage, but clearly an advantage going

144
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: into the game. Two other injury items for those that

145
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: might have missed it earlier. On Friday, general manager Steve

146
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: come on with Doug and Wolf on ninety eight seven

147
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: FM Arizona Sports station. He was asked about Max Williams,

148
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: and according to Kim, Williams is not expected back until

149
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. Is that week seven, week eight,

150
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: week nine? We know he's on injured reserve. He'll have

151
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: to miss at least three games, but it certainly sounds

152
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: like it's going to be much longer than that. Although

153
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: Kim was very complimentary of Durrell Daniels as far as

154
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: that blocking. Now you've got Dan Arnold who is adept

155
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: at catching the ball. Some way you can combine the

156
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: two of them. That's what you have in a MAXs

157
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: and that's what the Cardinals are missing without him on

158
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: the field. Well, that tells me that they don't have

159
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: to change their personnel if they still want to go

160
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: too tight ends. You know, Max Williams is the meat

161
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: and potatoes guy. I think Daniels knows his role. He

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: plays on teams, he's active on game day, and then

163
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: we'll see if they just Thomas as a third one

164
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: tight ends just for injury. But they don't have to

165
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: change with their identity. Is going to eleven and twelve personnel,

166
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, twelve personnel, be two tight eleven and be one. Clearly,

167
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: Dan Arrow is the you know, he's kind of the

168
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: X factor because I think Kyler has missed him a

169
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: few times within the last couple of weeks and flat

170
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: out he can catch the football and so he's going

171
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: to be a matchup issue. Really hasn't had that breakout

172
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: game yet. You know, he's flashed last year late in

173
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: the year with X amount of catches and a couple

174
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: of touchdowns and average per catches pretty good. So that's

175
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: that's good to know that Steve said that, because you know,

176
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: if you were relying on Dan Arnold to block and Daniels,

177
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: let's see, he wasn't up to part as set pointed,

178
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: out then kind of has changed your play calling a

179
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: little bit, but they're not going to change your play calling.

180
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: And when Max gets back, he's only going to help

181
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: this offense. The other injury note before we get to

182
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: MJ's three keys to victory, this concerns the Lions and

183
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: wide receiver Kenny Golladay if you're going to go in

184
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: depth on him later and your keys to victory. But

185
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: as far as how he is, he's going to give

186
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: it a go. He told reporters in Detroit, quote, definitely

187
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: feeling a lot better. Wouldn't say it's one hundred percent.

188
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't even put a percentage on it. I

189
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: just know I'm not one hundred percent. I'm going to

190
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: do everything I can and hopefully I showed enough that

191
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I can be out there. It's a hamstring injury MJ

192
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: that has kept him off the field the first two

193
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: weeks of the regular season. That's a big part of

194
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: what the Lions do, but it is something that the

195
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: Cardinals are aware of. Yes, he changes what they do offensively.

196
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: Nice weapon, maybe the weapon for Matthew Stafford, but he

197
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: certainly might not see him a lot come Sunday. Well,

198
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: and just from an outsider's perspective, you gotta wonder, you know,

199
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: use the detroits at three and a half for our flight,

200
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: does he get any swelling in their inflammation? And then

201
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: that's one of those deals where I think, you know,

202
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: we get you get to the statement earlier than I do.

203
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: But you're going to see him go out there and

204
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: work out, and you'll see the head coach and you'll

205
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: see the trainer and you know at some point though,

206
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to give it a go, like instead

207
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: of going ten miles an hour, he's gonna to try

208
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: to go fifteen to twenty. Now the Cardinals are aware

209
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: of this. I think everyone's looking for Patrick Peterson and

210
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: cunning Galla Day based on him only probably you know,

211
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: advanced speculated, you know, limited staffs. Maybe that's twenty twenty five,

212
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: depending on I'll be offensive place. But the Cardinals feel like,

213
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, if they could play a shell defense, meaning

214
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: they're not gonna play man, he won't be at him

215
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: the whole time. But Marvin Jones is a guy that

216
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: can take the top off the defense. Danny A. Mendola

217
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: a very savvy slot receiver, um t J. Hockinson, I

218
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: mean he really showed up in Week one, was injured

219
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: throughout the season, didn't play as well as he did

220
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals game. So you know, those are factors

221
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: um when you start looking at you know their offense,

222
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: and and then you know, obviously Matthew Stafford. I mean

223
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: he's a quality quarterback and you know he's when healthy,

224
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: he's very productive and he can sling it. You know,

225
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: there's a reason why he was the first overall pick.

226
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: All Peterson would say about the plan for Galladay is quote,

227
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: we have a plan. You have a plan until you

228
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: get you know, punched in the mouth. But again, you know,

229
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: I like the Cardinals chances is a very winnable game,

230
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: and but you got to go out there, you know,

231
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: play sixty minutes of football, and they haven't done that,

232
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: and maybe that will happen in October. Just kind of

233
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: knocking off the ross preseason, lack of offseason workouts, lack

234
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: of hitting in training camp. It's for every team, though,

235
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, but I think this team, when they step

236
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: on the field, they're confident in their ability and they

237
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: feel like they should would be winning these football games.

Speaker 1: Friday Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday, proud partner of

243
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. All right, two days away now from

244
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: week three kicking off for the Cardinals. One twenty five

245
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: is the start time Cardinals and Lions. Cardinals two and

246
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: O Lions and two. My question to you, m J,

247
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: how the Cardinals get to three and OZ and send

248
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: the Lions back to their home Oh and three? Okay,

249
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: So we start this going into week one, and I

250
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: want to add something because I really think an any

251
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: football game, you know, there's really three keys, and there's

252
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: an X factor. So I want to go three. What

253
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: I think would be number one is Kyler Murray versus

254
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: the Detroit linebackers. Now they have Jamie Collins, they have

255
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: Davis in there. Do they put a spy on him?

256
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean, according to Cliff, he's gonna see some exotic

257
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: stuff out of Matt Patricia. Now, Kyler obviously struggle for

258
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: the first three quarters, played well in the fourth quarters.

259
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: Numbers were remarkable through for three passing yards, two touchdowns.

260
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: He did have an interception. Now he only ran for

261
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: thirteen yards and he was sacked five times. So I

262
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: think it's Kyler Murray versus not the front four. But

263
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: they're linebackers. So I think if Kyler Murray can, I'm

264
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna have to run for a hundred yards.

265
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: I'll take forty or fifty, pick up some third downs,

266
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, move the chain, so to speak. But I

267
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: do think he's going to run more, and hopefully the

268
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals can cut down on some of those sacks. Well

269
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: to that point, three of those facts were by Devon

270
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: Kennard and a fourth was Murray running out of bounds.

271
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: So maybe just one sack of Kyler Murray, as we

272
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: do some revisionist history here on Cardinal's cover too, but

273
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: it's a good point. I don't think Murray was looking

274
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: to run when he first started in the National Football League,

275
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: and as he said repeatedly during these first couple of

276
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: weeks and even brought it up late last season, he

277
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: was more feeling out the league, the speed of the game,

278
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: and just what he could get away with. I think

279
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: not only we hear it more comfortable, I just think

280
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: he's more aware of what opposing defenses are capable of

281
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: doing here at this level. So if he takes off

282
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: and runs, that's it's a good part of what this

283
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: offense is about, at least this point in the season.

284
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: I was thrilled when he told us that he's able

285
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: to recognize defense pre snap, and that means you went

286
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: back and watched a lot of film. Now, from a

287
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: coaching standpoint, you know, usually when they're waiting between the

288
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: combine and the draft or offseason workouts, they do self scouting,

289
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: so they'll look at every single opponent, they'll break it down,

290
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: and then usually you do four games of cutups. We

291
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: don't have four on paper right now, and a lot

292
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: of times there's a lot of crossover because teams are

293
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: playing the same division for the most part, fourteen to

294
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: sixteen games, at least in the West. But the fact

295
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: is because last year I think he was guessing and

296
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to prove I can be a

297
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: pocket passer. You know, the O RG three thing. He's

298
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: not close to RG three, So when you can recognize it,

299
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: and Kurt he had a polar idea. He knew exactly

300
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: what he wanted to go. When we know that Cardinals

301
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers routes are based on coverage, and I think,

302
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Hopkins is new to that, but for

303
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: the most part, these guys have been here now. So

304
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to Kyler, you know, it's just one

305
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: of those situations where I was that was because Patrick Mahomes. No,

306
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: he didn't start his first year. He played Week seventeen

307
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: that year. He said he didn't start recognizing defense until

308
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: his third year, so you're you're ahead of the game.

309
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: And I was thrilled to hear that. Now there's gonna

310
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: be defenses, they're gonna disguise and you know they're gonna

311
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: put a spy. But the fact is that he is

312
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: recognizing and that comes with the game slowing down, playing

313
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: faster versus thinking interacting, and I think he's willing to

314
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: make a mistake. He's not going to force it. But

315
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: for I think he was trying to play perfect football,

316
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: and that's easy to do when you're the first pick

317
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: in the draft and expectations are very high. All right,

318
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Number two, DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald against the Lions secondary.

319
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: So we got Murray against their linebackers, and then we

320
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: got Hopkins and Fitzgerald, and I'll put in Isabella and keyshot.

321
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: Davante Adams went off last week. Jeff Acota is really

322
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: their nickel or dine corner. And then you know they

323
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: have a guy Coleman. He went on. He remains on

324
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: ir so Darryl Roberts, Tony McRae, Desmond Truefon's been absence.

325
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: So I think the Cardinals, and I know that Murray

326
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: wants to make some of those tight throws. I think

327
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals can expose that secondary, and it's going to

328
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: start with Hopkins and fitzger Well, and if the Lion's

329
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: key on Hopkins, just because of what he's shown here

330
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: for the first two games, if they double him or

331
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: put a safety over a top, then obviously that's going

332
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 1: to leave someone in one on one coverage or a

333
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: little bit more free or especially if you come across

334
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: the middle. And that was what the Cardinals anticipated when

335
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: you add a true number one wide receiver, and a

336
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: lot of the times what we've seen is hop just

337
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: lined up by himself, split far wide left or right,

338
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: and then a bunch set to the other side of

339
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: the field. So you'll know if your Murray right away,

340
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: all right, is it single coverage DeAndre Hopkins? In that case,

341
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to look at his direction because I feel

342
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 1: completely confident and Hopkins beating whomever he's lined up against.

343
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: And if there's a second player over there, or if

344
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: the safety roles of that direction, then you start looking

345
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: to the opposite side. And then of course it also

346
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: opens up the rushing attack as well, because these defenders

347
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: are so focused on the number of weapons as far

348
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: as pass catchers are concerned. You know, again, small sample,

349
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: but you know there's trends in the NFL. I don't

350
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: understand why, but he's open so much. Like I told you,

351
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: I asked somebody. You know, he didn't get sixteen targets. Again,

352
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: he goes, well, if they don't cover me, will I mean,

353
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: I guess the theory is, you know, if we can

354
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: contain Hopkins, in other words, don't give him three touchdowns,

355
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, force him maybe one, and then we shut

356
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: down or contain Kyler Murray, try to throw him some interception.

357
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: I guess that could advanced. Joseph has that theory going

358
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: into the games. There's only so many guys you can

359
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: shut down. But you're talking about one of the top

360
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: three receivers in football. He's put up the same down

361
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: amount of numbers. Maybe Larry has more touchdowns. When it

362
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: comes to yards and receptions their first eight years or

363
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: seven years or eight years in the league, they're identical.

364
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: So I'm just surprised that he's that wide open and

365
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: I think obviously using the later grass in other words,

366
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: the entire field. Um, this is why this this spread

367
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: offense is working. So yeah, it's I'm just I'm surprised.

368
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're he's gonna go against you know,

369
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: good corners eventually, you know Tredavious White and Buffalo, he

370
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: was really good player Gilmore and in New England. So

371
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: I just it's just funny that again, I know you

372
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: can't shut him down, but limit his targets, like make

373
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: it make him have a long day, like I don't

374
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: know if he gets frustrated, but jaming. I was watching

375
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: him in a Friday workout, dirty open portion. He is

376
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: skinny and he doesn't take the big hits. Referring to Hopkins.

377
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: I just wonder because it's early in the season and

378
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: there might be a little bit more of a feeling

379
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: out process when opposing defenses look at the Cardinals offense

380
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: that Hopkins is getting targeted a lot because they're playing

381
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: off of him. There hasn't been as many and I again,

382
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: without the benefit of breaking down every single target, that

383
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: maybe instead of getting right up to the line of

384
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: scrimmage and pushing him a little bit and making it

385
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more physical, that they're playing off because

386
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: if you look at the number of catches he has

387
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: in twenty two, which is a lot, but it's only

388
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 1: a ten yard average. So that leads me to believe

389
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: and we've seen him in the numbers. It's a short

390
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: passing game so far to where it's just a quick

391
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: screen pass or a quick slant and then hopefully you

392
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: let Hopkins do what he does best. But there might

393
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: be a concern at least initially to not let Hopkins

394
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: get behind defenses. Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella, whomever

395
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: it is, but that is what defenses are worried about

396
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: right now with the Cardinals. Yeah, that's a good point.

397
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: It's not like he's got four or three speed or

398
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: four or four speed. It's just you know, based on

399
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: him getting off press coverage and when you watch him

400
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: and I know, watching the game on television, they followed

401
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: the ball, but he's he's getting targeted. Just watch how

402
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: he gets separation to the outside. And I think the

403
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: defenders saying, all right, I got I got you, and

404
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: next to me, I'm gonna use the outside out of

405
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: bounce as another defender to just kind of pinch him

406
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: out there. He gets separation and then if you want to,

407
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: you want to push him outside, he's gonna go in

408
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: and he's going to run a slant pass. And I

409
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: thought what was interesting is I always thought it's yards

410
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: after catch, but it's run after catch. Who was starting

411
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: you know, you use the word rap instead of yak.

412
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: And that's something Advance talked about against the Niners game

413
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: and also McLaren last week. Yeah, like I said, it's

414
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: it's it's it's interesting, But I just don't think they

415
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: have the manpower over there. And plus they don't want

416
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: to get into a shootout. Are they gonna go no

417
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: huddle just to kind of because the Cardinals got some

418
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: beefy guys on defense, you know, Corey Peters and you know,

419
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: throwing Jordan Phillips and some of those d tackles. I mean,

420
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: they want to wear them down. Now, you go back

421
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: to lest year, even though the Cardinals were trilling going

422
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: into fourth cour they wear it down, you know, Snax

423
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: Harrison and you know some other players, and that's what

424
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: they want to do. They want to keep you on

425
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: your heels versus your toes. All right, So we've got

426
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray against the Lions linebackers, d hop and fits

427
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: against that Cardinals excume the Lions secondary. Number three key

428
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: from Mike Jarecki is what t J. Hockinson against the

429
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals secondary. Now, I should probably put it in their

430
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: campbell m Bruddha Baker Byron Murphy. You know, if Papa

431
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: Chick's playing more snaps, and we got a chance to

432
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: see that last week, they're base defensive teams are gonna

433
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: go two tight ends. They'll likely obviously have two corners.

434
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: But you can bring in Murphy if you want so.

435
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: I just think Hockinson. You know, he had some good

436
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: film last year. Again, he got hurt in week two.

437
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: You know you started looking at he had one hundred

438
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: and thirty one yards in a score lives year. So

439
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: so far in two games this year, he's got a

440
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen yards and a touchdown. So what

441
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: I was reading in the Newstroity Free presses they think

442
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: this is going to be his breakout game based on

443
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: what he did last year. We got to throw that

444
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: out the window. We know that Campbell can cover, we

445
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: know that Buddha Baker can cover, we know that Murphy

446
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: can cover. So t J. Hockinson against the Cardinals secondary.

447
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: And the reason why I didn't go Gallo ay just

448
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: because he hasn't played and I don't think he's going

449
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: to play the entire game. Well, I've got Galla Day

450
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: and Patrick Henderson has lined up against Tim and then

451
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: you've got Campbell covering in Hawkinson. That leaves Danny Amidala,

452
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: who's got over one hundred receiving yards as wall and

453
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: that can be either Kirkpatrick or Murphy depending on how

454
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals decide to go. So you have the manpower,

455
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: you have the ability to match up one on one

456
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: with every single one of the Lions. Different weapons that

457
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford can throw too. All right, X factor. I

458
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: haven't talked about him today yet, and I think he's

459
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: the best player on the Lions. You know, they went

460
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: out and spent a ton of money on with him.

461
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: They got him from the New England Patriots. Obviously Matt

462
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: Patricia had some intel there before he became the head coach.

463
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers. I think Trey Flowers, you know, he could

464
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: be the guy that's going to disrupt things and you know,

465
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: hopefully the Cardinals you know, get protection there. But I

466
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: do think Trey Flowers is one guy you got to

467
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: keep the hat on. And I'm not saying he's going

468
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: to be the Spies. He's tall and lanky, he's got

469
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: long arms, so we haven't seen the bat at balls down.

470
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: And then you know, maybe something else to look for

471
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: is Chandler Jones. I think his Chandler's time to you know,

472
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: have a double did sack game, and he's gonna be

473
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: going against Taylor Decker, their left tackle. He's a high pick,

474
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: but I like Chandler's chances here. So I think Chandler

475
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: is going to get back in the sack column. I

476
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: know he had's one sack in Week one, but I

477
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: can see him having multiple sex in this game, and

478
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna make things difficult for Matthew Stafford. He's only

479
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: got the one sack. Talking about Chandler Jones, but he

480
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: does have quarterback hits, and he has four in that

481
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: game against Washington, so he's he's right there as I

482
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: put my two fingers close together. And sometimes, though you

483
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: like to say, it's not always the sacks, it's the hits.

484
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: The pressure is the knockdown. So you know that a

485
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: quarterback is aware of where fifty five is. He's feeling

486
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: fifty five obviously, and there were a number of times

487
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: in which the Cardinals were just that close from getting

488
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins on his back. So we'll see if that

489
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: changes come this Sunday. Because obviously the goal of the

490
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: single season sack record is still out there. It's early

491
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: in the season, but that's going to take some games

492
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: in which Chandler Jones and j gets multiple sacks. He

493
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: can't just go games without a sack because then at

494
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: that point, you know, that record attempts goes out the window. Yeah,

495
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: and that's why it's important to play with the lead.

496
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: And they've done that. You know, in the fourth quarter

497
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: of the Niners game. They had the lead, and the

498
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: Niners came back and the Cardinals were able to preserve

499
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: and then the defense made a stop. So yeah, I mean,

500
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: there's gonna be weeks he's not gonna get a sack

501
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: like last week, And there's the weeks he's gonna get

502
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: two or three. But that's when you start talling it up.

503
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: Then that's where you start getting to double digits, and

504
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: then fourteen becomes sixteen and sixteen becomes eighteen, and so

505
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: again it's just a prediction. But I like that matchup

506
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: for him, and they could slide him over to the

507
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: right side because they went on and spend a lot

508
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: of money on this guy from the Philadelphi Eagles. I

509
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: don't want to try to pronounce his name. It's like

510
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: he's got twenty letters in his name. I could spell it.

511
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: Let's see if I can do it. And this is

512
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: where Dave Pash is so good at what he does

513
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: as the voice of the Arizona Cardinals. Right tackle number

514
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: seventy two, Haulapuli Vati by tie. Thank you. The last

515
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: name not too bad the first time. The first name, yeah, yeah.

516
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: Well he's injured, so they spent a lot of money,

517
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: so we can see Chandler possibly flipping sides. But I

518
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: like his matchup against deccer, So again, we'll see what

519
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: happens come Sunday. And just An updates on the Lions

520
00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: tackle completely limited all week in practice and officially lists

521
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: did as questionable for Sunday's contest. Yeah, and like I said,

522
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: on both on the right side, they have backups in there. Now,

523
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: I was told as a unit they did okay. But

524
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: if you want to look at matchups and one on

525
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: one matchups, I would think that Brentson, Buckner, fans, Joseph

526
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: see something there. But again, if you get anything out

527
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: of Zach Allen, you know Blackson on the other side,

528
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: possibly then chandlerk will win some one on one matchups.

529
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: But as a whole they're okay. It's just when you

530
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: look at some of the individual matchups. Now, I think

531
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: Vans made it very clear and we kind of touched

532
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: on it earlier in the week, is this is the

533
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: best quarterback they'll they've faced since we since last year,

534
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: just going back so week three is the best quarterback

535
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: they're facing here. And then skill position players if Galloway

536
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: still plays, you know Marvin Jones, you mentioned Danny am

537
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: and Doola Hockinson, Carrie on Johnson, Adrian Peterson. I'm sure

538
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: he's going to be motivated to come in here and

539
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: run hard. Got an arm tackle him, So looking ahead,

540
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: So next week not looking ahead for wins, but next

541
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: week Teddy Bridgewater. Then you got Sam Donald and then

542
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: you got the Cowboys game, and Carlos will go in

543
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: there as an underdog. And you got to give Dak

544
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: Prescott probably the edges because he's won a ton of games,

545
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: even though they haven't gone deep in the postseason. Seattle,

546
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: I'll give them the edge. The Dolphins, Ryan Fitzpatrick obviously streaky,

547
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: but I would take Murray, and then you got Josh Allen.

548
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: Then you go back to Russell Wilson, then Cam Newton.

549
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: So that's going to be their their toughest matchers, just

550
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: facing quality franchise quarterbacks. You know, Goss off to a

551
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: good start, Daniel Jones, Carson Wentz, Garoppolo should be back

552
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: by then, and then Jared Goff. So on paper, they're

553
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: not facing Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, but there's still

554
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: quality quarterbacks. No Brady this year, no Drew Brees, so

555
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: to me, I don't know if we focus on that

556
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: as much, and we'll focus on a week to week,

557
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: but I can make the case at twelve of those games,

558
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is the better quarterback going into that game.

559
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about that. The other

560
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: quarterback they missed is Aaron Rodgers, who's certainly off to

561
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: a great start as well this season. So yeah, but

562
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: you said on paper the better quarterback, Now you've got

563
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: to deliver it on the field. Subscribe to Arizona Cardinals

569
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: this week on the Cardinals Lions matchup is the fact

570
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: that Devon Kinnard, just three games into his Cardinal's career,

571
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: will face the team that released him in March and

572
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. So you know there's gonna be some

573
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: motivation there. Not that there's any ill will or bad blood.

574
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: It was just a business decision to use Canard's words.

575
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: Yet no player MJ likes to be told, hey, you

576
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: know what, we just can't either afford you or to

577
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: want you, and this case, that certainly sounded like it

578
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: was more the former than the latter. Yeah, and Patricia,

579
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you knew he was talking to the media,

580
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: whether it's Arizona media or the Detroit media, and just

581
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: thanked him for everything he did there. And it is

582
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: a business, and that's bass at the bottom line. But

583
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm sure he's saying, you know, well, first

584
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 1: of all, he's s thrilled to be home. His family's

585
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna be there, his wife's gonna be there, his brother

586
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: is going to be at the game. So it couldn't

587
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: have worked out better for him. But you know, he

588
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: probably feels like, you know, I was one of the

589
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: better players, is there. I mean, when you lose like that,

590
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: you're going to make changes. So it's funny how everything

591
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: works out for him. And I think he's been a

592
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: good edition. I didn't know how physical he was. He's physical,

593
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: He's got grit, and I do think, you know, they

594
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: want to keep him fresh throughout the year or so,

595
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: don't be surprised if we see Reddick and him rotating

596
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: versus him be the star in one play. I know

597
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals definitely like Reddick is upside, but yeah, it's

598
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: Canard has been a good pickup. Oh, I don't think

599
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: there's any question about that. Quoting Kenard about this matchup

600
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: quote you got to move on seems like a lifetime

601
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: ago end quote, and it does. March seems like three,

602
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: four or ten years from where we are right now

603
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: here in September. But he was very productive with the Lions.

604
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: Seven sacks in each of his two seasons, the Walter

605
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 1: Payton nominee for the Lions, and now here he is

606
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: and off to a great star. Got his first stack

607
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: last week and hopefully another stack or two. Maybe he

608
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: can do to Matthew Stafford what he did a year

609
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: ago to Kyler Murray. You know, I didn't want to

610
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: ask him because sometimes it can get a you know, overplayed.

611
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: But he didn't go and he went against Stafford and

612
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: training camp. You know, practices are a little bit different

613
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 1: during the week during the season. I wonder if he's

614
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: advanced Joseph, Hey, what do they like to do? What's

615
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: their formations, what's their motion? Like Daryl Bevil's there now

616
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: we know that he likes to run the football, except

617
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: when he's on the one yard light in the super

618
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: Bowl that he will never be able to live that down.

619
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: And but I think he's learning in that division, you've

620
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: got to score points. You know, the Bears and the

621
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: Vikings are struggling right now. I'm surprised with the Mike

622
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: Zimmer defense, and we know the Packers can score at

623
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: will with Aaron Jones and Adams. So I think Darryl

624
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: Bebbo's kind of come out of his show a little

625
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: bit where they got to utilize play action. And I

626
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: think both teams that play action. If you sucked those

627
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: linebackers in all of a sudden, you're going to see

628
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the field wide open. So yeah, but yeah,

629
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: it's I just wonder if if he was able to

630
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: tell anything about it, just because he was there and

631
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: they had the same coordinator, so I was assuming the

632
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: offense is similar. You had gall there, he had Marvin

633
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: Jones there, you had carry On Johnson, you had Danny

634
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: a Mendola. Now obviously you had new wrinkles based on

635
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: your personnel, but I also think it comes down to protection.

636
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: And so we'll see if Staffords get really because Matthew

637
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Stafford has a really good arm. He can sling it,

638
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: he can make all the throws, and I just wonder

639
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: if he's going to be on his roller skates this

640
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: week where he wants to get rid of the football quickly.

641
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: It can be something that when a player leaves a

642
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: team and then faces that team, you look for tendencies.

643
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: You might not know the terminology the xs and knows,

644
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: but hey, you know in this situation, Stafford ten to

645
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: stand in the pocket role to his more or hold

646
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: the ball longer when this happens. And that's where you

647
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: can help out. Maybe not so much the coaching staff,

648
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 1: it's certainly your teammates on that side of the ball,

649
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: like a Patrick Peterson or Byron Murphy. Well they went

650
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: out and clean Charles Kunoff last year and then week

651
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: two they cut him, So you know what they say

652
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: about paybacks. Yeah. By the way, this matchup a player

653
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals facing his former team, the first of

654
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: five different instances that this is happening at least for

655
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: the first time obviously Sunday, and then Kenyan Drake playing

656
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, Jordan Phillips against the Bills, Chandler Jones

657
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. His first game in the Cardinals uniform

658
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: was against the Patriots, but this is his first time

659
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: going back to Foxborough. And then Jordan Hicks against the Eagles.

660
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: So it's it's the storyline. Maybe it means more for

661
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: us for fans to talk about it, but certainly there's

662
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: got to be a little bit of emotion, even without

663
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: fans in the stand, to see that team, that color

664
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: that you wore once upon a time and now you're

665
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: on the opposite side. Sometimes the party is mutual, sometimes

666
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: it's not. So we'll see how motivated the extra motivation

667
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: if you will, for Devon Kannard come this weekend. Well,

668
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to break it down and

669
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: bottom line it, the Eagles moved on from Jordan Hicks,

670
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,959
Speaker 1: Miamie Dolphins moved on, and the buff Well Miamie moved

671
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: on from Jordan Phillips. He was a free agent. Yeah,

672
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: Canardie he was cut. So listen, I know b Train

673
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: talks about people being petty. Hey, listen, I've been let

674
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: go of a couple places. I'm not rooting against them,

675
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: but it's personal, right. Yeah. Now, it's it's well said.

676
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: It's it's always in the back of your mind. Put

677
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: it that way. Yeah, I mean, my life is great.

678
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean these opportunities that I've had, and you know,

679
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: sometimes one door closes another one opens. Sometimes there's a

680
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, dark cloud, you know, and all of a

681
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: sudden you see the sun coming out. So but yeah,

682
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean I would go in there with it. And

683
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,479
Speaker 1: she's like, hey, thanks for drafting me, but I'm saying

684
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm extending my career. One twenty five is the kickoff

685
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. That means a pregame of eight thirty am

686
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Spend at your Sunday,

687
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: September twenty seventh with us here on the Arizona Cardinals

688
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Now Craig. Normally, when when it's open for fans,

689
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: usually get a nice little magazine when you walk into

690
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 1: the stadium, and today it's it's virtual and I noticed that. Yeah,

691
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: you've got a couple of stories in there. I like

692
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: your Patrick Peterson and kind of Galladay matchup. I know

693
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: that you have to do that prior the good news

694
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: he's playing. I know there's last year. Maybe you know

695
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: an opportunity where you don't you can't forecast, and then

696
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: you write it. You're about just the matchup itself. So

697
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tweet it out so help people read it.

698
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: I know you like doing that. It allows you to

699
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: kind of figure out the matchups and looking ahead at

700
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: different opponents. So good job. I enjoyed it. Appreciate it.

701
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate the plug as well. The kickoff magazine. Yeah, it's

702
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: all all virtual. It's all digital right now because one

703
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: no fans in the stands. But just the fact that

704
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: this is the touch list if you will everything on

705
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: your own phone, your own computer, your own desktop to

706
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: avoid spreading or getting in a way of COVID nineteen.

707
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: And it's got great graphics. Um you got you got

708
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: depth charts, you got too deep. You got each each

709
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 1: team's roster. So it's really one stop shopping for any

710
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: game this year. But I would definitely recommend it, considering

711
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: you don't have that opportunity to get that magazine as

712
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: you walk into the stadium. Appreciate it. MJ. We look

713
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: forward to Sunday again. One twenty five is the kickoff.

714
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: Can the Cardinals go to three and oh for the

715
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: first time since twenty fifteen. Now, I think we've worked

716
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,959
Speaker 1: long enough where and just happened a few times under

717
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: Wilkes and happened last year. You've got to avoid losing

718
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: streaks in the NFL when you go on a three

719
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: game losing streak. Usually you've lost one game, it could

720
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: be two. Then you lost a road game, and then

721
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: people start to not jump ship, but they start to,

722
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, critique things where if everyone's doing their job.

723
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: When an NFL team goes on a three game winning streaked,

724
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: that means they're a good football team. That means they

725
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: can overcome miscues, they can overcome penalties, and I like that.

726
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: I like where the Cardinals are now. They got to

727
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: clean some things up. They haven't played a perfect game,

728
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know if what they call a perfect

729
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: game unless the quarterback is you know, twenty two for

730
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: twenty two. But if you could win three games in

731
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: the NFL because they had to go on the road

732
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: and they benefited from two home games and back to back,

733
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: they got to go on the road for some road

734
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: games here, I think that tells you that looking ahead,

735
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: this could be a good football team when it's all

736
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: setting done. Let's hope we're talking about that on Monday.

737
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: And on that note, let's put a lid on this

738
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,360
