00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: all things Cardinals, and right now talking about a win.

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Not just any win though, Be train. This was a

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: road win, this was a division win. This was a

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: conference win against a very good San Francisco forty nine

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: ers club twenty four to twenty the final for you,

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: be trained as a player. What stood out the thing

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: that stood out to me is one you have Kyler

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: Murray has found a new best friend and DeAndre Hopkins.

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: That's one. Two. I think the defense stood up when

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: they needed to stand up the most, which was in

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter and with that last drive doing what

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: they needed to do in order to contain Jimmy g

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: and that offense. It was an impressive win all the

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: way around. And the fact that they were almost on

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: the ropes at the beginning of the game, but then

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: you get the blog punt to get everything back to normal.

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: I just thought this team showed a lot of grid,

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: a lot of heart, and one thing you failed to mention.

33
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: On top of division and on top of conference, you're

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: talking about a win against the defending NFC champions. That

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: is what's most impressive. And the fact that it's done

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: on the road. That is a great, great win for

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: the Show football team. Yeah, a lot to like on Sunday,

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: and we'll get into Murray's new best friend. But for you,

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: m J, as you look, because there was so much

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: to like, where do your eyes go as far as

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: what stood out on this first win of twenty twenty,

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: Because we're talking about all offseason on paper now, finally

43
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: on the grass. Well, besides the league's hottest quarterback wide

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: receiver combo right now, it's got to be the hottest

45
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: right Defensively, you know, we thought going in and they're

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: gonna have you know, three to four new starters, have

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: good rotation in the inside linebacker spot, and we thought

48
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: the offense was much further along. They trailed ten nothing,

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: but as b Train pointed out, they made plays in

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. And you know, Cliff alltted to this

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: after the game. He said, maybe last year they would

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: have lost that football game. So I think when they

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: take the field now they're expecting to win. Maybe last

54
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: year as they were hoping to keep it close to

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But that's a quality win against a

56
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: quality opponent. It's only one game, and I think it's

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: easier to correct the mistakes when you win versus when

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: you lose. Yeah, it certainly beats the alternative. Before we

59
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: get into Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins that relationship, let's

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: take you inside the Cardinals locker room. Head coach Cliff

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: Kingsbury exclusively on asy Cardinals dot Com giving the game

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: ball to two else number ten. We face diversity as

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: big as you can face. Y'all kept going, all right,

64
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: that's a hell of a job by an way to win.

65
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: We built something today, all right, and we gotta keep

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: building each week. Is they come out? Y'all felt how

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: soft it was? Y'all tell how tired we are now

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: we just get better and better. But it couldn't be

69
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: more proud of the effort and guys sticking together. I

70
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: want your game ball to a new member of our team.

71
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Have four team catches on from the moment I want

72
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: in this building. Man, I feel something special about this team.

73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: I know we got what it's taken to get what

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: we won't. But it's one day that By the way,

75
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: for those who have not seen the video, I strongly

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: encourage you to check it out on Aisy, cardinals dot

77
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: com and the Cardinals social media platforms. Because we talk

78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: about Hopkins's hands and Jay he had great hands in

79
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: the locker room, because for a minute there I thought

80
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: he was going to drop the football, but he was

81
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: able to get it, had had it kind of corraled

82
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: in the back of his head. But certainly a great

83
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: first impression for DeAndre Hopkins. Oh, there's no doubt about it.

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: And you watch him from Afar, and you know how

85
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: talented he was. And you know, the Cardinals needed a

86
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver and they went out and made

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: the trade. And you know, I was watching the game

88
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: on Thursday night and Chris collins was after David Johnson

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: had a really good first half, he said, well, people

90
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: are gonna be breaking down the trade. No, mister Collinsworth,

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals definitely got the advantage there. And

92
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: you can just see how he's well liked in the

93
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: locker room. You know, obviously he's embracing the organization, he's

94
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: embracing the valley, so a win win situation, and he

95
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: recently got a contract extension. Yeah, and show up on

96
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: Sunday after getting paid targeted sixteen times, be Trained caught

97
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: fourteen of those past attempts for one hundred and fifty

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: one yards, did not score, came close, but certainly that relationship.

99
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think we can sit here and

100
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: expect fourteen catches weekend and week out, but it was

101
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: certainly something that the Cardinals exploited because of forty hundred

102
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: let's put it honestly. They didn't make any adjustments, No,

103
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: they didn't make any adjustments. And I think you always

104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives you, and this was a

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: very good defense. So I was really surprised at how

106
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: much they gave their is on the Cardinals from an

107
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: offensive standpoint, But you don't know what to expect. This

108
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: was one of those off seasons where you didn't have

109
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: a chance to really lock in on DeAndre. You hadn't

110
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: seen him on film with this offense, so they weren't

111
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: quite sure how they were going to use DeAndre, where

112
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: they're going to try to use them as a decoy,

113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: where they're gonna focus on him. It just seemed as

114
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: if they were playing from behind and saying ketchup all

115
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: game long. And that was to the Cardinal's life, into

116
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: their to their strength, and they took full advantage. And

117
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: that's what you do when you have a shiny new toy,

118
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: You play with at the most and and you see

119
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: what you got. And uh, I don't think there will

120
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: be any buyers. Were more as any time soon coming

121
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: from the valley. Yeah, right out of the gate. The

122
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: first offensive play, Kyler Murray throwing a three yard pass

123
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: of DeAndre Hopkins, and they just kept going to it

124
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: time in and time out. In fact, after the ball game.

125
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: That's all anyone wanted to talk about. Hopkins on his

126
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: number getting called so often in his first game. I knew,

127
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: you know, probably early in the game that there were

128
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: gonna be some things that we're gonna have to fight through.

129
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: But Kyler Kelp giving me the ball, kel feeding me,

130
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: and we kept making plays. No one panic Cliff kel

131
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: giving me the ball, Kelp calling my number. But Kyler,

132
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: for sure, I knew that once we got going and

133
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: things that start heating up. You know, the difference really

134
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: was because Richard Sherman plays sides. The Cardinals had, you know,

135
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: Hopkins lineup on the left side, and you know, obviously

136
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: there's time are gonna be bunches. But you know the

137
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: fact that Richard Sherman, who obviously is still playing at

138
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 1: a high level, has a ton of interceptions. He didn't

139
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: reach the end zone, but that thirty three yard catching

140
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: run where he got to the one foot line, what

141
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: a great call there. They kind of ran a mesh.

142
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Larry was able to take out a guy, you know

143
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, but you know, Kingsbury and met him

144
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: maybe in the early part of the game. You know,

145
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: they ran a lot of pass plays. We know this

146
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: team wants to run the football, and at the end

147
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: of the day, the obviously were able to run it.

148
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: But the fact that you know he's the yards apps

149
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: are catch and it's not like they took some shots

150
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: in the second half. I think fans were a little

151
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: curious in the first of us why were they dinking

152
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: and duncan and basically they were saying, hey, we're not

153
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: going to let the deep ball get past us. Well,

154
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: that thirty three yard catch and run might have been

155
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: the easiest catch for Hopkins because he was left wide open.

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: The fourteen catches a career high for Hopkins in the

157
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: most Enfranchise history and a season tied for the second

158
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: highest single game total Enfranchise history. And as they say,

159
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: be train. If it's not broke, don't fix it. And

160
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: until defenses show that they're going to concentrate on Hopkins,

161
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see Kyler Murray look his

162
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: direction a lot next week well, without question, and I

163
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: know for sure the Cardinals next upon it, who will

164
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: be focused in on number ten. They will know where

165
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: he is at all times because you just saw him

166
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: basically take apart a secondary that a lot of people

167
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: thought was one of the better secondary in the National

168
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Football League, and with that defense as a whole, one

169
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: of the better defenses. So the fact that they were

170
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: able to have success and the way that they have success,

171
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: I think you go forward. Now, if you're Washington, you

172
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: you definitely are like, Okay, we know that he's not

173
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: just going to be a decoy. They plan on really

174
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: showcasing him. So we're going to roll coverage to where

175
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: he is and find out where he is at all

176
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: times and really try to a way to slow him down.

177
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: You're never gonna totally stop but DeAndre Hopkins, but you

178
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: can try to slow him down through coverage, through scheme,

179
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: through physicality, all those different things. But he's over his career.

180
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Many people have tried and many people have filled. He

181
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: caught seven passes in the first half, seven more and

182
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: the second half. There was one that looked to be

183
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: a miscommunication in which Hopkins kept running and the ball

184
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: was thrown behind him. But outside of that, these two

185
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: were on the same page. Kyler Murray on what he

186
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: hopes he and Hopkins can accomplish, not only this season

187
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: but long term. I think we can be great. Um,

188
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, I know we both have aspirations of being

189
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: the best to do it um, you know. So that's

190
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: that's where I hope to take this thing. You know,

191
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: there's there's no we don't step into the building every

192
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: day and try to get worse. We try to be

193
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: the best that we can be. You know, I'm glad

194
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: that he's on our team. Now, if you look at

195
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: the numbers as far as pass receiving MJ with Hopkins

196
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: taking so much of the attention, that left little for

197
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: everyone else. Larry Fitzgerald only four catches, Chase Edmonds had three,

198
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold two, Kenyan Drake two, and Christian Kirk with one,

199
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: though he was targeted five times. You have now, and

200
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: what we've talked about a number of weapons on this offense,

201
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: that if a team is going to try to take

202
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: something away, that's going to leave something open. And you

203
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: would think that teams would try to take away Hopkins.

204
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: That wasn't the case in week one, but moving forward,

205
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: if that becomes the focus, then I think fans will

206
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: get excited that fitz is going to start getting his

207
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: number called and Christian Kirk won't be held to just

208
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: one catch for no yards. Well, I mean, you got

209
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: to think Kyler Murray ran the ball eleven times, and

210
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: you would think if you just cut that in half,

211
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: that's possibly five more passing attempts. But again, he was

212
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: not going to force things. They were openings for him

213
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: and he was able to stand plays. Unfortunately, the first

214
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: couple of possessions they went three and out as they

215
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: were behind the sticks. You got to avoid the third

216
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: and lungs. They were much better in the red zone.

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: They are much better on third down efficiencies, so those

218
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: are pluses. But again you started looking at the running

219
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: game and how many times they were in the football.

220
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna win whatever whatever it takes. You'd like to

221
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: have balance. You know, sometimes it's gonna be sixty forty,

222
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: but if you take away some of those eleven runs,

223
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: that could be passes. And you know, Larry Fitzgerald, if

224
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: teams want to, you know, put a safety over the

225
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: top and they want to go underneath, he's crafty enough

226
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: and savvy enough that he'll find the sticks. Christ and

227
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: Kurt they try to throw the ball down the field

228
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: to him a couple of times, but again, this team

229
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: is not just gonna dinking dunk once you want. Once

230
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: you face a seven eight man box, they're gonna extend

231
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: it down the field. The Cardinals in the first half,

232
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: they were looking at a lot of six man boxes,

233
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: in other word, six defensive players, and that's gonna lead

234
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: to play action, the zone read, and they actually ran

235
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: the wishbone offense. The offense pretty balanced, two hundred and

236
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: thirty yards passing, one hundred and eighty yards rushing, and

237
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: Hopkins after the ball game, noticed how well this team

238
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: was clicking after a little bit of a slow start.

239
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: It's hard to stop this team once get going. We

240
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: practice the way we play, fast tempo. Everyone's in shape,

241
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: and we knew coming out once we started clicking and

242
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: it would be hard to stop us. We saw some

243
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: things on family we could take advantage of. You know,

244
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: you gotta give a lot of credit to Cliff for

245
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: calling it at the right moment. Those big plays. It

246
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: did not look good early be trained. In fact, the

247
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: first nine plays were all through the air. The first

248
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: time Kenyan Drake or any running back touched the football

249
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: was the tenth play of the ball game. Kingsbury, though

250
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: admitted after the ball game that he was a little

251
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: bit rusty, and I think maybe all this nine month

252
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: time and talking about what the excitement level is for

253
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: this team in week one, it can sometimes get into

254
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: your head, what our question? They can get in your

255
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: head and when you haven't done it for a while,

256
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: and you hadn't had the practice ref like you do

257
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: with preseason games in years past, Yeah, there's going to

258
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: be that that adjustment period and time to figure out

259
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: and get your bearings. And look, you don't expect perfection,

260
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: but you expect progress. And I thought that's what we

261
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: saw throughout the course of that game. We saw progress

262
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: from a team, from a coach, from a quarterback, from

263
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: a receiver, core, from running backs, old line dealer, the

264
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: entire team. We saw this team progressively get better as

265
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: the game went on. And I think that's a recipe

266
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: for a recipe for success. And think about this. You

267
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: think about coach Hemsbury and his second year. I go

268
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and eight. There was a coach

269
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: in his second year and there wasn't a whole lot

270
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: expected of them, but they were able to get an

271
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: opening season game in San Francisco and things kind of

272
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: turned out pretty well for this organization. So I'm just

273
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: going to throw that out there. I'll just keep that

274
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: in the mix all season long, and we'll see what happens. Well,

275
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: at the risk of outing your beach, and I'll just

276
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: tell Cardinal fans to Google two thousand and eights and

277
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: then go from there if you're not exactly sure what

278
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Beatran is referring to. But let's hope history repeats itself here.

279
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one quick news item with regard to

280
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: the offense, we did see Chris Streveler active and Brett

281
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: Huntley inactive. I was by design and according to Kingsbury

282
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: on Monday, Streveler is going to be the backup quarterback

283
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. Quote. We just feel like strev

284
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: gives us an edge end quote. It's not that anything

285
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Brett Huntley did rights or wrong, but certainly they like

286
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: that versatility of Chris Streveler as the backup. And we

287
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: didn't see him on the field twice, one on special

288
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: teams and then one on that quarterback Sneak updates to

289
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: the latest version of the Cardinals mobile app today. The

Speaker 1: Cardinals dot Com slash app. For more, Well, we touched

292
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: on the run game. We'll get into that more because

293
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: we saw a lot more of Kyler Murray running the football,

294
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: maybe more than we all anticipated. It is the Cardinals

295
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: Red Sea report here on the Arizona Cardinals right you

296
00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: on Network. Second and nine to twenty three of San

297
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Francisco shotgun formation snapped to Murray in trouble, steps up

298
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: and runs to his right at the twenty, cuts back

299
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: to the left of the ten, breaks the tackle to

300
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: the five, running right for the end zone touchdown. Kyler

301
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: Murray with a touchdown run. Arizona has the lead in

302
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco sixteen to thirteen with ten twenty six to go.

303
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go after him, you better get him.

304
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: If you get picked up like the forty nine ers

305
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: were picked up, that's what you're gonna see. Great run

306
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: by Kyler Murray he did in time, in and time

307
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: again against the forty nine ers on Sunday eleven rushing attempts.

308
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: The official status sheet shows thirteen. But don't forget the

309
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: two kneel downs at the end of the ball game,

310
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: which negated nine yards, so instead of finishing with one hundred,

311
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: he only finished with ninety one. But to hey, a

312
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: win is a win. Twenty four twenty the final in

313
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco as the Cardinals are one and oh and

314
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: we talk about it. He or on the Cardinals Red

315
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: Sea were pork right, rail La, Mike Drecky and Bertram

316
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: Barry and certainly impressive. We had talked about Kyler Murray's

317
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: running ability and how much we might see him run

318
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: throughout the offseason MJ and I think sometimes you take

319
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: what the defense gives you, and that might have been

320
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: the case against the forty nine ers, but eleven rushing attempts,

321
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: that's a lot. Yeah, and there were five quarterbacks ready

322
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: for this that led their team in rushing in all

323
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: five to one, and that would have been Murray, Newton,

324
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson. Now, obviously that's

325
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: not going to continue throughout the season. You know, listen,

326
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: there's a reason why you look at him. He's a

327
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: dual threat. And besides Lamar Jackson, there's Kyler Murray and

328
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: then there's dual quarterbacks. Because this guy looks like a

329
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He's got a four three speed out there.

330
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, you can have a mobile quarterback, but he's different.

331
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, in his shows, he's able to find little

332
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: pockets in the defense, he runs out of bounds again,

333
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: jam and Lamar Jackson. You can give me Deshaun Watson

334
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes. They're not even close to how fast

335
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: Murray is. Ten rushing attests for eighty one yards in

336
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: the second half alone, Betray, And you're surprised by how

337
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: much Murray took off, Man, I'm not really surprised, because, again,

338
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: as we talked about in the first segment, you just

339
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives you him. They were willing

340
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: to give him room to run, and he was really

341
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: just trying to keep the sticks moving. And in the

342
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: first game, you just do what you need to do

343
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: in order to get to win. And really that's the

344
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: formula for every game. But when there's so much unknown

345
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: about what each other is going to do to try

346
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: to attach the other one, even though these are division opponents,

347
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: you still have to have that mentality of Okay, if

348
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna force me to run the football, I'm gonna run,

349
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna run with caution in mind. I'm not

350
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna put myself in harm's way. I'm not gonna do

351
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: anything to get myself hurt seriously or in position to

352
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: take a big shot. So I thought he ran I

353
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: thought he ran it smart this game, and I thought

354
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: he did a lot of things that the San Francisco

355
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers just were not ready for it, which

356
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: is kind of surprising, but at the same time, look,

357
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Kyler is a tremendous athlete,

358
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: and if you've give him opportunities, he's going to take it.

359
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: And it worked out in our favor this week. The

360
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: ninety one rushing yards the fourth best single game total

361
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: and franchise history by a quarterback. Let's hear from the quarterback,

362
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, on why he was able to run so much.

363
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: The opportunities just just kind of came. Um, you know,

364
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: when I have an opportunity to take off, that's just

365
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. I mean, you know, I can't really control,

366
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, I just take what they give me, and

367
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: if I have a lane to get out, you know,

368
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: it happens. I think I saw one design run MJ.

369
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: Maybe there was a second or third, but there weren't many.

370
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: To the point, as Murray just made that you're dropping back,

371
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: you're looking at the defense, and if the offense spreads

372
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: the defense, out, then there's a huge hole up the middle,

373
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what you take. Yeah, and during the

374
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: week last week, you know, Bosa said they went back

375
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: and watched a ton of film and they kind of

376
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: figured out the way he likes to run. Nick Bosa

377
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: is still waiting to get his first sack against the

378
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals in three games. He's gonna be a great player.

379
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: But it looked like Kyler was staying more in the pocket.

380
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I think last year, you know, obviously, I

381
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: think the games slowed down for him. So sometimes you

382
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: go through your first progression, then you improvise. I think

383
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: he was able to sit in the pocket a little

384
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: bit more. Obviously roll out and if guys were covered,

385
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: he's not going to force him, so he's able to

386
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: find little seams and you know, pockets. So Hey, like

387
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: Mertrand said that if teams are gonna play six in

388
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: the box, you can run the ball, or you can

389
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: obviously have him in the zone reader RPOs where you've

390
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: got three different options. Now, typically betray and you don't

391
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: like to see your quarterback run that much. But Murray

392
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: does a very good job of avoiding contact. He'll either

393
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: consider himself down or run out of bounds, and that's

394
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: one of those areas that that's hard to teach. That's

395
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: just something that he has a natural instinct for and

396
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: it might serve him well down the line. So where

397
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: he can survive running that much well. Question one, he's

398
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback, and every time he takes all the

399
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: entire franchise holds their breath collectively because they all know

400
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: that the success of this team is going to rest

401
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: on his feet and his arm and his mind. So

402
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: they want to make sure that he is in position

403
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: to be on the field as many times as that

404
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: offense is on the field, and the fact that he's

405
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: making business decisions out there. We use that term a lot,

406
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: but I think for Tyler it really applies because he

407
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: understands how important he is to this team, and he

408
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: understands that he's not the biggest guy in the world.

409
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: He's a tough guy, but he's not the biggest guy,

410
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: and so if he's going to take a full on shot,

411
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: that's probably not going to be in his best interest,

412
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: in the team's best interest. So you see him running

413
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: in a way that he's not gonna lend himself to

414
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: that big hit, and I think that's the smart approach.

415
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 1: And as long as he takes at him and however

416
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: many times he chooses to run the ball, I think

417
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: would be okay as long as we're moving those down

418
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, he's just different as a runner.

419
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean, you look around the league and people are

420
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: going to compare in Russell Wilson away. Russell Wilson played

421
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: early in his career, probably does it the same. And

422
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: then you know Steve Young. Obviously, he just runs different

423
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: and I do think his baseball background has a lot

424
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: to do with it. He can slide and to that point,

425
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah on the NFL Network tweeted this out after

426
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: watching the film, talking about Kyle the Murray. He slid

427
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: or went out of bounds or scored on twelve of

428
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: the thirteen runs. He was only tackled one time. According

429
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: to Jeremiah quote talking about Kyle Murray, He's mastered the

430
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: ability to protect himself on the move. It's teachable tape

431
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: for athletic quarterbacks. End of tweets. More on that subject.

432
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: It was part of a discussion on Good Morning Football

433
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: on the NFL and Network, Peter Strieger bringing up Murray's

434
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: ability to protect himself. Kyler had twelve runs on Sunday,

435
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: do you know be times he was actually hit tackled once,

436
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: meaning he got out of bounds where he slid and

437
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: he avoided contact. That's an art that is something that

438
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: you can do over time that is not just picked up.

439
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: That means that he has been fully trained and has

440
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: been practicing away to avoid contact, get out of bounds,

441
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: get down and try to avoid getting hit. If Kyler

442
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: goes unscathed and can still run the ball twelve times

443
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: with Cliff calling the shots and DeAndre Hopkinson fourteen catches

444
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: huge deal not just for Kyler Murray but for the

445
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: entire NFL this season. And we saw that last year

446
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: MJ that he would be able to give himself up

447
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: if you will, to avoid the big hit. He was

448
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: sacked twice on Sunday, though one of those he ran

449
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage, which goes

450
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: as a sack. So really he was not touched a

451
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot. Yeah, And when you get

452
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: said big hit, the thing is, though he's so much

453
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: in the shotgun, you know obviously you know the other

454
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: team gets paid so somebody comes off the edges on

455
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: the blind side. I mean it's possible it's the NFL.

456
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: But the way he's just able to get out of

457
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, either shuffling right or left. He's not going

458
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: to take the big hit. It only takes one big

459
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: hit though, but he definitely protects his body and I

460
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: think there's a reason why he had a little bulk

461
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: in the upper in the offseason in his upper body. Overall,

462
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: this Cardinals offense rushed for one hundred and eighty yards.

463
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: They averaged five yards carry. They had a better running

464
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: game betrayed than the forty nine ers and the forty

465
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: nine ers a year ago had the second best rushing offense.

466
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: Beat him at their own game. And when you are

467
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: familiar with your opponent, you find ways to use their

468
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: strengths against them. And when you talk about running the

469
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: football and controlling the time of possession, Jimmy g and

470
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: at offense didn't have a lot of opportunities throughout the

471
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: course of that game. Now, granted George Kittle's going down

472
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: in that first half, that was a tremendous blowing him

473
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: not getting any receptions in the second half, But from

474
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: what the Cardinals were able to do establishing the run

475
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: and playing solid defense. That was the San Francisco forty

476
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: nine ers recipe for success in getting all the way

477
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl last year. And so anytime that

478
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: you can use that strategy strategy against the team that

479
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: they use as their bread and butter, then I think

480
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: that's going to definitely be a plus. Ing to go

481
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: into their house and get that win on game on

482
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: Day one. I think that was huge for this team.

483
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: Only the Patriots had a better rushing offense than the Cardinals.

484
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: New England two hundred and seventeen yards on the ground.

485
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: Head coach Cliff Kingsbury talking about the run game and

486
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: being balanced, but also give you some praise for praises

487
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: due that's the offensive line. We want to be a

488
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: balanced attack. We feel like we have dynamic backs, we

489
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: have dynamic receivers. Kyler's dynamic in himself, so we want

490
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: to be able to run it and throw it, and

491
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: our offensive line at a tremendous job. Same deal. I mean,

492
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: that is a great front for the most part, kept

493
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: his clean to a couple of sacks probably could have avoided,

494
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: but those guys battled. Now this offensive line could I

495
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: say could look different coming up this Sunday against Washington.

496
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: Mason Cole left Sunday's game early in the third quarter

497
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury. Kingsbury did not have an update

498
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: when he met the media on Monday. Lamont Gilliard filled

499
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: in and played very well m Jay, So if the

500
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals have to make a change, at least Gilliard has

501
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: gotten some experience under his belt ahead of now perhaps

502
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: getting his first ever NFL start. Yeah, you know, in

503
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: the you know, the open portion of practice, you know,

504
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: when the ruins some of the drills, he was the

505
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: backup center. I think Max Garcia is a guy that

506
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: he's active on game day. He's your interior backup guy.

507
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: But Gilliard he didn't get a chance to play last year.

508
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: But you could see, you know, playing at Georgia, who's

509
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: he played in a great conference. A lot of defensive

510
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: linement that come out of that conference, and so you know,

511
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: obviously you like to have experience in there. I'm sure

512
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: you get a little help on the line calls, but

513
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: I didn't see the difference between when Cole was in

514
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: there or Gilliard. And you know, obviously got justin Murray.

515
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: If something happens with hump again. We'll just have to

516
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: wait for the injury report to come on on Wednesday. Yeah,

517
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: Humphrey has left that game for one snap and we

518
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: saw some shuffling, but knock on wood, DJ, Humphreys should

519
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,119

525

Speaker 1: here on the Cardinals Red Sea Reports. A lot of

526
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: offensive talk. B Train has been waiting to talk about

527
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: the defense. We'll do that in the second half. Some

528
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: huge plates by the defense, and at least for me,

529
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: the real story of week one this by what Hopkins

530
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: and Murray were able to do Cardinals one and oh

531
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: they beat the forty nine ers up next Washington. This

532
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: is the Arizona Cardinals radio networking and will snap it

533
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: from the thirty six with Snowski stands at his twenty

534
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: two yard line and the pun is blocked. It was

535
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: blocked by Ezekiel turner recovered by Guardak who gets up

536
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: and runs at the fifteen and he's tackled at the ten,

537
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: fourth and five of the Niners. On the sixteen of

538
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, Garoppolo the path, throws to the right side

539
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: and complete. Murphy steps in front of the receiver and

540
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: knocks the ball down. The Cardinals takeover on down with

541
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: thirty three seconds to go, leaving San Francisco twenty four

542
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: to twenty Byron Murphy takes some play on the big,

543
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: great special teams and some great defensive plays in this contest,

544
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: helping the Cardinals beat the forty Niners in San Francisco

545
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty. As we walcome into the second

546
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: half of the Cardinals red see report Craig Rayel and

547
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: Mike Dreckie and Bertram Berry and all right, b train,

548
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 1: we've waited this long. The defense, let me hear it.

549
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: What did you like from that side? I love the

550
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: fact that they were able to get after Jimmy ge

551
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: he was never able to get comfortable in the pocket.

552
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: We saw Chandler Jones Chandler Jonesy doing what he does,

553
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: and I saw young guys on that defensive line stepping up,

554
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: making plays really making it uncomfortable for the running game

555
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: and the passing game. They were never able to get

556
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: into rhythm and and you saw that secondary really come

557
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: up big when they needed to. It was. It was

558
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing to see and to be led by

559
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: that defense they kept them in And then of course

560
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: as we heard with that sound the special team that

561
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: I considered that an expension of the defense and for

562
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: them to get that that block punt to after a

563
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: good defensive stands uh that that was. That was a

564
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. And when you're on the road, you gotta

565
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: bring your defense and you gotta bring your special teams.

566
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: And I thought both sides of the ball really showed

567
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: up in a big way this past Sunday. Be honest

568
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: with me, b Train, the first sack of the twenty

569
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: twenty cardinal season. I'm guessing you did not have Angela

570
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: Blackson in your pool. No, I didn't have Angela black

571
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: I didn't have mister Blackson. But you know the fact

572
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: that we got it and it was a big play

573
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: we needed it at the time. It really doesn't matter.

574
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: And the fact that it just shows that the depth

575
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: of this defensive line and the fact that you can

576
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: plug in guys that can come in and make plays

577
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: and be an integral part of what this defense is

578
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: trying to do. Look, you win and you lose collectively,

579
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: and it's to be just Chandler Jones is not gonna

580
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: be just Katcha Peterson's not gonna be just Buddha Baker.

581
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be all eleven guys want to feel doing

582
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: their job to get those sacks or to make big

583
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: plays to help this team win. Blackson signed a week

584
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: ago today. Five days later on Sunday, two tackles, a sack,

585
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: a tackle for lost, two quarterback hits, the fourth full

586
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: sack of his career in one of three that the

587
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals had against Jimmy Garoppolo. But of course that doesn't

588
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: matter if what happens at the end of the season,

589
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: the sequence of the past breakups do not occur. Patrick

590
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: Peterson and the course two from Byron Murphy none bigger

591
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: than that fourth and five getting into the passing lane

592
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: Trent Taylor and knocking that ball loose. Yeah, I mean

593
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,479
Speaker 1: that was fantastic. I mean three consecutive bat at balls

594
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, and starting with Patrick Peterson,

595
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: ball hit him in the helmet and then Byron Murphy,

596
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: would he win through last year being targeted? You could set,

597
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: You could tell he really hit the weight room in

598
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: the off season. Just the mental reps he went through

599
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: last year. He's going to be a much better football player.

600
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: And it was nice to see him have some success

601
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: on those back to back plays. And you know, if

602
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: you look at the San Francisco receivers, they managed four

603
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: catches for forty one yards on eleven targets. Now, obviously,

604
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: you know George could have had four receptions in the

605
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: first half. He was shut on the second half. I

606
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: don't know if he was a decoy, But the Cardinals

607
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: did a good job n claren. Granted they didn't have

608
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: their two top receivers, but that's on them. But I

609
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: thought the Cardinals defense really with the story of this game, Well,

610
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: let's hear from Byron Murphy, the local product out of

611
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: Saro High School, on that game ceiling pass breakup last play.

612
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: I just knew there was going to be a passing down.

613
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: So once we got to call, you just had to

614
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: log into your keys. Everyone on, Like I said, everyone

615
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: on the defense had to play their levers and the

616
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 1: ball came and just made a play, So just exciting

617
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: and be able to make that play when the ball came.

618
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: If you remember last year, the second meeting against the

619
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: forty nine ers MJ, also at Levi's Stadium, the Cardinals

620
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: defense unable to get an end of game stop and

621
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: ultimately lost. As Kyler Murray pointed out, he kind of

622
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: felt like deja vu all over again. But this time

623
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: the defense did get that stopped well, and again the

624
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: mindsets a little bit and they have better personnel. I

625
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: mean the fact that Drake Kirkpatrick only played thirty snaps

626
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: and so Murphy, you know, his natural positions playing in

627
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: the slot. You know, obviously Kirkpatrick's got to get into

628
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: football condition, but he definitely provides size and length over there. Um, yeah,

629
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: it's you know, the fact is that you know when

630
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: when Murphy's gonna be targeted, and he's a guy that's

631
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: kind of I'm sure he was relieved after the game

632
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: because he knows he can play at the sevel. There

633
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: was a reason why they took him with the first

634
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: pick in the second round. Um, I just think sky's

635
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: a limit for him. But you know, having Patrick on

636
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: the other side, and uh, you know, obviously Buddha Baker

637
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: and you know, even Chris Bangel played well, you know,

638
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't get a lot of credit out of household

639
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: name because when Jalen Thompson went down, and then what

640
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: can you say about you know, Campbell and Hicks. So

641
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: I think it all starts in the front seven. But um,

642
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: these guys need to get more opportunities this year because

643
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: they simplified things on defense and they're getting more of

644
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: a pressure upfront. Certainly a much improved defense from twenty nineteen.

645
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: Something head coach Cliff Kingsbury acknowled after the ball game.

646
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: Just finding ways to make those big stops, whether it's

647
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: a third down or a fourth down. Felt like last

648
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: year we gave some of those up and this year

649
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: they made them today and we got to continue to build.

650
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's a unit that will continue to build.

651
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: Guys are still figuring it out. Drake or Patrick, you know,

652
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: just got here, talk about Jordan Phillips, talked about dev

653
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: Andre talking about Isaiah being a young guy, it's the

654
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: game will slow down for him. So I think as

655
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: we go, we're hoping those guys will get a better

656
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: feel for our defense and what we're trying to accomplish,

657
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: and of course Petray, we got to acknowledge the goal

658
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: line stand as well. Davandre Campbell and Devon Knard combining

659
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: on the stop of Raheem Mostert, good call. I have

660
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: no problem with the forty nine ers going forward, but

661
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: the defense right there stepping up big time to keep

662
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: it just a three point deficit without question. And that

663
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: goal line stand is the equivalent of a turnover. And

664
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: anytime that you can give the ball back here offense

665
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: and give them opportunities and take it away from me

666
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: oppose them offense, that's going to those Those things cumulate

667
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: over time and they build it up, and those are

668
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: the hidden plays and the hidden moments that are winning

669
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: football and would give your team a chance to win.

670
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: And of course, having Divine come over as a free agent,

671
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: you see him paying off already in week one, and

672
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: and you're seeing gun guys that are signed already paying off.

673
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: That that's the thing that gives you so much confidence

674
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: and knowing that these guys have already proven that if

675
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: you give them the opportunity to make plays, they're going

676
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: to do just that. And this was only game one.

677
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to see what the rest of the

678
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: season has in store for these young guys, and then

679
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: the defensive team will all Now. The first highlight we

680
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: heard from Dave Pash coming into this segment was the

681
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: block punts Ezekiel Turner getting in there Dennis Gardack with

682
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: recovery and help set up the Cardinals first touchdown of

683
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Turner after the ball game talked about the play. Yeah,

684
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: we knew we wanted to pursure this team early. We

685
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: know what we have on our special teams unit, and

686
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: we just knew we had to do something to help

687
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: the team. Just brought it, got the look we wanted,

688
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: and came out with a play to help the team.

689
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: It was my first block punt of my career, so

690
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: it was huge, But I'm more happy that it could

691
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: help the team put the offense in a great position

692
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: to score touchdown. So that's that's what more I was

693
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: looking at. But yeah, it was definitely a big play.

694
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: Hard to say that a play or a turning point

695
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 1: during the course of a game comes in the first quarter, MJ.

696
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: But you could argue that that sequence there, the block punt,

697
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: the touchdown certainly tilted momentum if you will. In the

698
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: Cardinal's favor. He may I'm not alluded to it. I

699
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: mean you had the one cut there, but that tells

700
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: me that assistant head coach special teams coordinator Jeff Rogers

701
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: was able to see something on film because the very

702
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: next punt they didn't bring any pressure. They were dropping

703
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: back for a return. So and right now, the Cardinals,

704
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: I want to say their fifth and special teams. Obviously

705
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: you want to get more production on his Zame Gonzales,

706
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: but that's been the case in week one, So yeah,

707
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: to me, that's you gotta flip field position. Sometimes you

708
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: got to earn a different more possessions, and I think

709
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: they were able to do that overall, special teams and

710
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: the defense. You look at third down conversions the forty

711
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: nine ers just two of eleven, just one of four

712
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns inside the red zone. Corey Peters, the veteran

713
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball, talking about how the

714
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: well the defense performed. It felt great, you know. And

715
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: one thing we've talked about is just being a new year,

716
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: us coming out and trying to set an identity for

717
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: this new team. And I think we still have a

718
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: long ways to go. There were lots of mistakes today,

719
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: and I think that was to be expected. But it's

720
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: a lot easier to make the corrections after a win.

721
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: So we'll be hard about the tape and try to

722
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: get better for next week. For one game sample size

723
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: be trained. Yes, the additions this offseason, the drafting of

724
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons, Lucky Foe to Rochard Lawrence, all the ephesis

725
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: that was put in to improve the defensive side of

726
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: the ball came to fruition on Sunday. Yes he did.

727
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: And now it's just a matter of making sure that

728
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: they can tinue to get better, that they continue to

729
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: do their part, because teams are gonna see the taper

730
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: of what happened between them and San Francisco, and they're

731
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna make adjustments, and they're gonna do things

732
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: to maybe put them in a not to advantageous situation,

733
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: and we will see how these young guys perform, perform

734
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: through adversity. And I think the first test was in

735
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: a I give them flying colors and that first, that

736
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: first test. But it's a long season. There's fifteen games

737
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: left and you have to you can't get too up

738
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: when things are good. You can't get too down when

739
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: things about you just got to be even killed. And

740
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: I know the defensive line. I know Coach Buckler is

741
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 1: gonna do a great job keeping those guys level headed

742
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: and making sure that they just go in and when

743
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: their numbers called, that they just do their job and

744
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: do what's act and not try to do too much

745
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: and put the rest of the defense in harm's way.

746
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: Gott to bring up Buddha Baker as well, picking up

747
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: or he left the last season with a team best

748
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: fifteen tackles, so certainly getting himself and the mix right away.

749
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: And it's going to take all eleven guys and even

750
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: more than that. MJ. When you look at the defense

751
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: as a whole, Justin Thompson, Jalen Thompson, excuse me, the

752
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: starting safety left this ball game early and then all

753
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Chris Banjo steps up. Played well, yeah,

754
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: and he's a veteran guy, you know, more more as

755
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: a niche and special teams. But you know last year,

756
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: you go back to week fourteen and fifteen, because of

757
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: the situation with Deontay Thompson and obviously the injury, they

758
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: decided let's go with him and he retained. They retained

759
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: him in the offseason, So you know, ideally you'd like

760
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 1: to have your starter out there because Jalen Thompson's made

761
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: major strides from being a supplemental pick arriving in camp

762
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: last year in the first day and they really need

763
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: him back there and he's become a really good open

764
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: field tackler. But you know, you got Buddha Baker. You

765
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: can never have enough depth, but some positions that you're

766
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: a little bit thinner than others. Yeah, certainly a good

767
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: start for the Cardinals defensively beating a very good forty

768
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: nine ers team and now they'll host Washington coming up

769
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,080

782
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: here on the Arizona Cardinals radio network. Second of goal

783
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: from the three, Logan Thomas comes in motion across the

784
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: formation right now, back to the left. They hand off

785
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: here to pay the barber with time. Yes, touchdown, touchdown Washington.

786
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: The slow start, the resilience of this team to fight back.

787
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: Go into this locker room, figure out what you need

788
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: to do, make your adjustments, get your turnovers, playing defensive

789
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: to be playing offensively. This is what you want to

790
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: see this team Dodd twenty seven seventeen Washington beats Philadelphia.

791
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: That call courtesy the Washington Football Team Radio Network. As

792
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: Washington spotted the Eagles seventeen points and then storm back

793
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: scored the final twenty seven and all of a sudden.

794
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: This Washington team with an offense led by Dwayne Haskins

795
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: in a very very strong defense much like the Arizona Cardinals.

796
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: Mje and oh. The Cardinals might have had the best

797
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: win of Week one. Washington, you can make an argument

798
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: the most surprising win of Week one and maybe also Jacksonville. Yeah,

799
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: you know, according to the Eagles coaches, they came up

800
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: with a lot of exotic stuff because the Eagles had

801
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: a patch patchwork offensive line. They sacked the quarterback eight

802
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: times in that game. We know they've invested number one

803
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: picks on the D line. Cardinals went against a very

804
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: good D line last week in the forty nine Ers.

805
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're better, but obviously Ron River

806
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: is trying to change the culture there and you can

807
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: start to see the upside with Dwayne Haskins. I watched

808
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: a couple of highlights. You know he's able to take

809
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: a three to five seven step drop, put that foot

810
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: in the ground and get rid of that football and

811
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: it actually was the throw to Logan Thomas, so kind

812
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 1: of going running back by committee. But you know their

813
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: team that's going to, you know, come in here and

814
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: try to steal a win. And can imagine I take

815
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: it off to tune will start. Yeah, that would certainly

816
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: be something betray and this is a another team with

817
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: a strong defensive front, specifically a front forward. Watching some

818
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: of the highlights, Washington was able to get pressure with

819
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: just four, and that certainly absolutely makes things more difficult

820
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: for an offense. Definitely makes it difficult for an offense

821
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 1: anytime you can get pressure with just four, it allows

822
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: you to play coverage and it makes it difficult for

823
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to find alleys to deliver the ball. And so

824
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: you look at what they were able to do. Chase

825
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: Young was able to come in have a really good

826
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: game and one and a half facts, and you know,

827
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: all guys along that defensive line, we're able to come

828
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: in and make contributions. So that's the thing about the NFL.

829
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: There are no there are no homecoming games on your schedule.

830
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: Everybody can come in and can beat you if you

831
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: have a down game. And so, yes, you had a

832
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: good first game against the simpsonsco forty nine ers, but

833
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: you have to go out and do it each and

834
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: every week in order to reach your goals. And the

835
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: Washington football team is not gonna come in feeling any

836
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: less confident than anybody else. They had a win in

837
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: Week one, just like the Cardinals, and they believe they

838
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: have every right to a win just like the Cardinals

839
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 1: do as well. So this is going to be a fight.

840
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: I think this team is going to play hard for

841
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: coach Rivera who's battling cancer, and definitely want to send

842
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers to him because that's that's something that's

843
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: bigger than football. But when you have an emotional team

844
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: that is rallying around their leader they're in coach, those

845
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: are very dangerous teams. So we got to make sure

846
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: that we match their level of intensity. And of course

847
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: they got a young, upstart quarterback, just like YouTube, So

848
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: there are a lot of similarities between these teams and

849
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: and we'll see which team comes in and executes the best,

850
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: because whoever does that is going to come out of

851
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: here with the win. And offensively, MJ. Washington's knock in

852
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: a while, Yeah, Haskins had only one hundred and seventy

853
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: eight yards passing Peyton Barber two touchdowns rushing, but he

854
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: only finished with twenty nine yards on the ground. Terry

855
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: mclaurlin five catches for sixty one yards certainly eye popping.

856
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: So a lot of it, a lot of the attention

857
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: is going to be on that Washington defense. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

858
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: they do have some guys that catch the ball. I

859
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: just don't know if they can get into a shootout.

860
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: And then you mentioned how the Eagles are up seventeen nothing.

861
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz had a couple of turnovers. Obviously they weren't

862
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: able to contain Haskins. But it's a very winnable game

863
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, and if you want to start off

864
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: two and oh, this will go a long way. I'm

865
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna take it one game at a time. But I

866
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: think the Cardinals have to keep that same mindset last week. Yeah,

867
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: they went against a really good defense affront, but again

868
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: I would put them up there behind the Niners. So

869
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: I know they're different teams and they're playing for different stuff,

870
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: but this is an opportunity to get to another win

871
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: in the win column, try to get to two and

872
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: oh for the first time since twenty fifteen. We'll talk

873
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,600
