1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: On paper, and as we talk here in June, Yeah,

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are among the most improved teams. Just

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: how improved and better?

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: Yet?

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Where has the team improved? Got Paul Calvicy joining me

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Berg Gang to discuss just that, plus which first year

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: player is predicted to make the All Rookie team. It's

Speaker 2: He's at the ten half of five. He's it again.

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 4: Some more hurry magic.

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: Whow Here's Craigcriolo.

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: So I hesitate to add, but I will anyway because Paul,

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: I know how your day began. So how are you

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: doing on this Monday here June twenty third.

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 4: You know, Craig, I don't need the attitude. I can

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 4: sense an attitude.

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: My attitude.

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm legitimately concerned about your well being.

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: Well, it is late June.

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: I figured I just create something out of nowhere, you know,

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: just concoct something salacious or sensational. You know, we got

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: to do something around here. It's late June, you know,

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: yeah it was. You know, there are tougher situations in

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 4: the world than your battery dying to start the week.

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 4: But I saw it coming over the weekend. In fact,

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 4: I anticipated to the degree that I actually got it.

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 4: Went out there early Monday morning, thinking is this isn't

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: going to start on me or not? And of course

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: it didn't, and then that's set off an odyssey. But

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: I still made the ten am meeting. So by that,

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: by all accounts, that was a dub for years. Truly

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: started started a little bit of adversity, but we overcame.

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: At least it was at home and you weren't stuck

39
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of somewhere else or a parking lot

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: where it's one hundred and ten degrees out in the midday.

41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: Thank on, So at least you got lucky there.

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: By the way, a little shout out Paul pro tip

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 4: PSA here for any newcomer, especially coming from the Midwest.

44
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: Do you think you know losing batteries in Midwest winters?

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: Nothing takes out your car battery like in Arizona summer.

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: I've gone through infinitely more batteries living my thirty years

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: in Arizona than I have anywhere else on this in

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 4: this fine country. So just a little pro tip for

49
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 4: you going forward.

50
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: I'll even add to that the five year warranty that

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: many batteries have when it comes to Arizona. If you

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: are approaching two years, you better be ready and on

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: your toes and figure out, all right, what's plan B,

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: because that's basically the lifespan of a battery car battery

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: in Arizona.

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 4: My wife's original vehicle would go through a battery per year.

57
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: I mean you could set your watch it was right

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: around July fourth. You talk about fireworks, it was her bad.

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: Anyway.

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: Who's going to be the Who's going to be the

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 4: jump starter?

62
00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: The jumper?

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 4: K if you will Craig for this Cardinals team? How

64
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 4: about that for a segue. That's that's that's why you

65
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: are poly professional. Because we do know this, and I

66
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 4: do think we'll get some more information later on this week,

67
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: but we do know that players report for training camp

68
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: July twenty second, both veterans and rookies. First practice will

69
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: be the next day. I think we'll get the complete

70
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: training camp schedule this week at least that's.

71
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: My hope, my belief. But that is a very interesting question, Paul,

72
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: as far as I mean, the obvious one is, I mean,

73
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: do you have to do you have to say Kyler Murray?

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean, or do we take him out of the equation,

75
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: because that's just too easy. If you don't have a quarterback,

76
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: your engine's not starting. Period, You're not getting out of

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: the garage if you don't have a quarterback.

78
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: As we keep up with this metaphor.

79
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: But I mean K one is number one, and you

80
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: know now that you say that, I would have a

81
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: hard time arguing against that. But honestly, I would start

82
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: with the other two team captains that are known right now.

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: I would start with Buddha Baker on the defensive side

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: and James Conner on the offensive side as the jumper cables,

85
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: if you will, bringing life, bringing energy, jolting everyone into

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: you know, great performances on either side of the ball. Now,

87
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 4: those guys are known, including Kyler, So what about newcomers.

88
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: Could Josh Sweat be that guy? Could a young guy

89
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: like Rabbit seek and destroy and you know, flying around

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 4: not unlike Buddha Baker. Could he be that guy? Could

91
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: have Marvin Harrison Junior what he did against the Rams

92
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 4: in Week two? I mean that set that whole building

93
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: a blaze, did it not? Marvin Harrison Junior evoking the

94
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: echoes Hilarry Fitzgerald at State Farm Stadium. If he's able

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: to put some of those games together like he did

96
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 4: against the Rams, and you have a handful of those

97
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: this year, let me tell you that will definitely ignite

98
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: the home building.

99
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up Marvin because of the weekend.

100
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: I saw this article, and I know Paul you love lists,

101
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: Bird Gang. No one enjoys a good list more than

102
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Paul Calvis.

103
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 4: Let me tell you there's one that just dropped an

104
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: NFL dot Com craig and it's the five teams that

105
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: won the off season. Apparently they need to borrow a

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: Rex Ryan Award in the hardware. The Cardinals are not

107
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 4: on this list. No, how can you have five teams

108
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: that won the off season and the Cardinals are not

109
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: on the list. And I know Washington thinks they won

110
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: the off season. But Laramie Tunsel, your new left tackle

111
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 4: set like a career high ind pressures allowed last year

112
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 4: over fifty pressures allowed. So there's a reason why a

113
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 4: team was willing to get rid of their supposed franchise

114
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: left tackle, and that's because, guess what, he's not nearly

115
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: what he used to be. So I'm not buying Washington,

116
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 4: especially ahead of a team like the Cardinals in winning

117
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 4: the off season.

118
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: Did not win or was not on that list. But

119
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: there was another list on NFL dot com. Right, of course,

120
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: there was the seven teams who have improved the most

121
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: this offseason, and the Cardinals did make that list, and

122
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: they sided all the defensive improvements, which we can talk about.

123
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: But I'm looking going back to your comments about Marvin

124
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: Harrison Junior. Yes, this defense is going to make the

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals better, at least as we speak here in

126
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: mid June. Everything looks great on paper. The Cardinals defense

127
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: should be vastly improved based on the new additions, whether

128
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: free agency or in the draft. But if this team

129
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: really wants to take that step forward, which is the

130
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: postseason ten wins, eleven wins, it's the offense that has

131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: got to carry this team, at least.

132
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: In my opinion. You can agree to disagree.

133
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: Paul but if I'm looking at players on offense, forget

134
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: the big names. I'm looking at three second year players. Okay,

135
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior, which is and obvious. I don't know

136
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: if there's been a player more talked about this offseason

137
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: than MHJ, whether or how he looks or what we

138
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: all hope he looks like on the football field as

139
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: far as stats and production.

140
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: By the way, if I can disagree with you, I

141
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 4: most definitely will for the record, go ahead, appreciate that.

142
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other two players, Trey Benson, how much more

143
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: involved is he in the offense? What does that mean

144
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: for James Connor? Keeping him healthy and fresher for a

145
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: game for a season. And then I know you'll agree

146
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: with this last second year player because you've been talking

147
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: about him a lot this offseason.

148
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: That's Isaiah Adams.

149
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Is he your starting right guard? And if he is

150
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: for an entire season, and that's the young piece on

151
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: that offensive line.

152
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: Year two.

153
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: You drafted these players for a reason, whether in the

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: first round or on Day two. Can those three, specifically Marvin,

155
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Trey and Isaiah help the offense take that next step

156
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: forward and ultimately improve the Arizona Cardinals from eight wins

157
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: to a playoff team.

158
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 4: It's hard to argue with that. Let me just start

159
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: right there. However, I'll say this, I'll break those into

160
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: two different categories. Of those three, the player I'm most

161
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: confident in breaking out in year two is actually Trey Benson.

162
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 4: But the two players you need to break through in

163
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: year two are Isaiah Adams and Marvin Harrison Junior. In

164
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: that order, you need to slidify the interior of the

165
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 4: offensive line. There's nothing more vital. In fact, the Cardinals

166
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: as we speak have an open roster spot.

167
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: Correct.

168
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: Correct If if some time between now and the start

169
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: of camp there was a veteran offensive guard who was signed,

170
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: and I have no idea who's still out there and

171
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: who's worthwhile and what the price tag might be, I

172
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: would not be shocked If there is one addition to

173
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: this roster.

174
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: I would think that would be the spot.

175
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: We'll see, maybe a veteran receiver. But in terms of

176
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: the need, the importance, in terms of Jonathan Gannon and MANIASA.

177
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 4: Fords sitting in a right camp going home, please please develop,

178
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: please be the answer to this question, I would start

179
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: with Isaiah Adams, Marvin Rison two and then Trey Benson three,

180
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: just because you already have James Connor. However, if you're

181
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 4: to believe that Trey Benson put on seven pounds and

182
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: he's way more explosive, that he's car rushing a lot

183
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 4: of these analytics that track your performance, in your conditioning

184
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 4: and everything else that goes into winning an offseason as

185
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 4: a player, and based on his change in attitude, speaking

186
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 4: of attitude, when he actually stuck his face in the

187
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 4: fan and stoked it north south in those last two

188
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 4: or three games before he lost the rest of his

189
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: year to that ankle injury. And he admits when we

190
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: asked him about, hey, did James Connor his running style

191
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 4: rub off on you a little bit? And he gives

192
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: an absolute and definitive yes. To take his speed and

193
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: his size and his strength and now his conditioning add

194
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: some of the confidence that he said he admits he

195
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: lacked at this time a year ago. He said he

196
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 4: was quote anger, little panicky trade Benson because he'd only

197
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 4: played really two years of college football and now he's

198
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: up with the big boys and wondering if he belonged.

199
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 4: He knows he belongs now. And so with that improved confidence,

200
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: I Honestly, if you made me choose one, then I

201
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 4: think is really in store to bust out and put

202
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: up just great numbers and a performance. I probably start

203
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: with Trey Benson.

204
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: And again I like what you said, the want versus

205
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: the need. You want Trey Benson, you believe maybe you

206
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: have all those three the most confident in yet in

207
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: order for this offense to be what we all think

208
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: the capability is.

209
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: Well, you need that.

210
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: Number one wide receiver, but more importantly, maybe you need

211
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: that offensive line the interior, keep Leonard Williams out of

212
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: the backfield. And we know this is a run first,

213
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: run second offense. They're not gonna go away from that

214
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: no matter who they have at wide receiver. So who's

215
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: opening up those rushing lanes? Who's protecting Kyler Murray back there?

216
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: And that's the big question mark atleast that I have

217
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: when you talk about this offense going into twenty twenty five?

218
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: Is all right?

219
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Isaiah Adams played significant reps towards the end of

220
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: last season. Did the coaching staff see enough? And at

221
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: least right now I think they did because you didn't

222
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: really bring anyone in outside of a Royce Newman. That again,

223
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: not a big household name. Are you okay right now?

224
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: And then you see when the pads come on and

225
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: there's more friction, as Jonathan Gannon talked about before everyone

226
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: broke for the summer, and then all right, yeah, Isaiah

227
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: can't handle a Kalais Campbell. He can handle a Josh

228
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: schweedt or Dalvin Tomlinson coming at him. We're good at

229
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: right guard.

230
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: And don't think for a minute that one of the

231
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 4: reasons there's going to be more friction at this year's

232
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 4: Cardinals camp is because they need to find out if

233
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 4: Isaiah Adams can handle it. They need to find out

234
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 4: who exactly is the seven defensive lineman out of eight

235
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: that are sticking. If you're indeed cutting one, you need

236
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 4: to find out who can handle that physicality. You need

237
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 4: to find out and figure out who's the best football

238
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: player on your fifty three. This time a year ago,

239
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: this time two years ago, you pretty much knew at

240
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 4: least fifty of the fifty three and there were maybe

241
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: three spots up for grabs.

242
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: Now not so easy.

243
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: So if you're gonna make some really significant roster moves

244
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: come late August, you better know and guess what preseason

245
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: games a are risky enough. You don't want to put

246
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: veterans in there, be they'll always give you a true

247
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: story because you're getting vanilla schemes and you're going against

248
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 4: backups to start with. So if you really want to

249
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: get a sense of what you have on your own roster,

250
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: you better let it rip in camp and you better

251
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: go good on good and see you couldn't compete. You know,

252
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: the one player we're probably leaving off your list right

253
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: there would be Max Melton. And I thought Max Melton

254
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: in the last three games or so did take a jump.

255
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's gonna be a little hard to tell if

256
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: you're not getting targeted a lot as a corner and

257
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 4: I'll leave a lot of that up to the coaches,

258
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: But I do hear good things about Max Melton, and

259
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 4: guess what, he's gonna be really motivated. Considering they went

260
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: after Will Johnson and Denzel Burke. There's gonna be a

261
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 4: lot of competition in that room coming into camp, and

262
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: Max Melton did not nail down a starting spot going forward.

263
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: It's wide open right now. I mean who's cornerback one,

264
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 4: who's cornerback two. That's to be decided. And I would

265
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 4: say you know, if if two months from out, Craig

266
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 4: we had this discussion again and Max Melton should have

267
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: been included.

268
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised by that either.

269
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: Now based off how he's listed on the roster. CB

270
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: one is Garrett Williams although you're a slot corner and

271
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't put in I've said this repeatedly

272
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: here on Cardinals cover too when we have this cornerback discussion.

273
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: I don't include Garrett Williams.

274
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: He's going to be on the field, we know that,

275
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: but we're talking about the outside corner and until we

276
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: until we see Garrett play outside, which he can. Then

277
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: the discussion, to your point, is all right, who's CB

278
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: one and going into camp? Is it Max going into

279
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: year two? Is it Will Johnson going into year one?

280
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: Because the coaches believe they've got a first round talents

281
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: in the second round and whatever concerns people on the

282
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: outside had about well, there are no concerns within this

283
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: building talking about the Cardinals facility about Will Johnson. Is

284
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: he CB one with Max Mountain on the other side,

285
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: Starling Thomas can.

286
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: Fight for reps?

287
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, okay, what do you do

288
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: as far as a number game, a numbers game at

289
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: that position.

290
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 4: And you're right, we should clarify when I talk about

291
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 4: CB one, CB two, I already have Garrett Williams in

292
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: the class of a Buddha Baker. Yes, meaning he's an

293
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: absolute that's that's rock solid. You put that name down

294
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: in ink. So okay, what are the outside corners? And yes,

295
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: Starling Thomas said right in this student within the last month,

296
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: and you could just see how much more confident he

297
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: is as a player, how he knows he belongs, how

298
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: he knows the scheme cold. And let's not forget how

299
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: critical that is. Teams that are doing anything and everything

300
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 4: they can on offense to try and confuse a defense,

301
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 4: and all you need is one mental breakdown and a

302
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: receiver gets free, and that can be the difference in

303
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: the game. So the coaches have to really trust every

304
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: single corner because there are a lot more adjustments. What

305
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon say at one point this offseason, he didn't

306
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: used to consider corner a thinking man's position because you say, okay,

307
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: just go out on an island and check that guy.

308
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: That's not how teams play anymore. That's not how the

309
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 4: Cardinals play Will Johnson is considered a quote perfect scheme

310
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: fit something else, Jonathan Gann has said multiple times because

311
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: of the manner in which the Cardinals run their defense.

312
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: And guess what Drew Stanton said in here not too

313
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 4: long ago, and said Wink Martindale, former NFL longtime defensive

314
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: coordinator in the league, who is Michigan's defensive coordinator, runs

315
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: a really complex, advanced system. And if Will Johnson can

316
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 4: master that in a year, he can certainly come in

317
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 4: and do the same without having to be a student anymore.

318
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: He's a full time football player.

319
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: And it's why again going back to lists NFL dot

320
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Com and it's all Rookie team prediction, they have Will

321
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: Johnson making the All Rookie team based off of what

322
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,479
Speaker 1: they wrote projects as a day one starter in Arizona

323
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: and his instinctive ball howking feels like a perfect fits

324
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals' zone heavy defense. Again, that's right off

325
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: the page of NFL dot Com. But why was Will

326
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: Johnson targeted in the second round? And yes, Jonathan Gannon

327
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: has said repeatedly we want him. He fits everything we

328
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: want to do. And you hear ball hocking and Paul,

329
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: you and I have been around long enough, and the

330
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: first name that pops into my head when I hear

331
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: that say it Tyron Matthew. Yes, that's exactly what I

332
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: thought as well. And we don't say that lightly, and

333
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: you shouldn't say that lightning, because there have been few

334
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: better in Cardinal's history, using their instincts and playing with

335
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: feel and being a guy who ran a four or

336
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: five but played like he ran a four to three

337
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: like Tyron Matthew, especially a young honey Badger who when

338
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: he came onto the scene right away, all the veterans knew, oh,

339
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: this kid can play, this kid will play, this kid

340
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: will have an impact, and he most definitely did so. Now,

341
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: if you have someone with those sort of instincts, except

342
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: in this case, he's nearly six' to two and he

343
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: has all that, athleticism he has all the ball, skills

344
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: and by the, Way Tyron matthew had fantastic ball. Skills

345
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: and now you improved the pass rush because you can't

346
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: be a ball hawking corner unless you have what a

347
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: quarterback who's under, pressure a quarterback who's, affected a quarterback

348
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: who's getting hit and harassed and sped up and all

349
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden that ball comes out when the quarterback

350
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily want it to come. Out and that's where

351
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: the interceptions. Happened like we were doing predictions on one

352
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: of The cardinals undergrounds AND i, SAID i don't know,

353
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: much BUT i know this much IF i have to

354
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: make a. Prediction whatever The cardinals interception total was last,

355
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: year AND i honestly don't, know double. It based on

356
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: the improved pass, rush based on the improved cornerback, PLAY

357
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: i think you're gonna get this.

358
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: Year but just the pass rush, ALONE i think we'll

359
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: put balls in. Jeopardy guys Like Buddha, Baker Will, Johnson

360
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 4: Max melton and. COMPANY i think they'll get into those passing.

361
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: Lanes they'll Be and if you're only rushing for and

362
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 4: you have more guys who can take away some of

363
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 4: the deep, responsibilities then you have more guys underneath who

364
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: can take chances Like Tyron matthew was able to do,

365
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 4: right he Had Rashad johnson And Patrick. Peaz he's one on,

366
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 4: one So Tyron matthew was onlocked to be able to

367
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 4: take a lot of those. CHANCES i would not be

368
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 4: shocked If Nick ross Used Will johnson in a similar.

369
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: Manner the number is, nine by the, way nine nine

370
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: interceptions last. SEASON i feel good about my, prediction which

371
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: is which was bottom third in the. League there you,

372
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: go so again not have enough hands on. Footballs and

373
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: the secondary, nine by the way is also the number

374
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: of interceptions That Well johnson had in his career At.

375
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: Michigan and the stat that blows me away is he

376
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: had more pick sixes than touchdowns. Allowed so that Was

377
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: that's someone who always seemed to be around the football

378
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: within That michigan. Defense again not, comparing just making everyone

379
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: aware That Tyron, matthew even year, one always seemed to

380
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: be around the, football even though he wasn't the, strongest the,

381
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: biggest the, fastest or the.

382
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: Quickest but.

383
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Instincts do you know where you're supposed to, be and

384
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: all of a sudden that gives you a split, second

385
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: a half, step you're there quicker as opposed to someone

386
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: who maybe is, taller, bigger, stronger, faster but they're thinking

387
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more and all of a sudden before

388
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: they make a.

389
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: Move AM i supposed to be?

390
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: There tyron didn't have to do. That we have to

391
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: wait and see If will's at that. Point but again

392
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: everything we're. Hearing it's hard not to make that.

393
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: Comparison and, look there have.

394
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: Been rookies in the last couple of, years to the

395
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 4: moment they were, drafted they were, Starters Paris johnson, Junior

396
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: Marvin harrison. JUNIOR i saw there's one of these, lists you,

397
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: know some of these breakout. Players you Decided Will, Johnson,

398
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 4: Well Derek harmon is on that, list number twenty one

399
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 4: pick overall On oregon went to The Pittsburgh, Steelers AND

400
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: i saw within that article the d line coach when

401
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 4: he met the media, Said Derek harmon is a starting

402
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 4: defensive tackle on This steelers defensive. Front you can write that.

403
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: Down that was his.

404
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 4: Quote SO i Think Will johnson will be given every

405
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: single opportunity to win a starting. Job Despite Max, melton

406
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 4: despite Starling Thomas Denzel, BURKE i think will make some

407
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 4: noise in. Camp it's gonna be a really tough decision

408
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 4: For Mantias sport And Jonathan. Gannon but, again you combine

409
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 4: the elevated corner play with a much improved defensive front

410
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 4: and pass, rush and, YEAH i think you're gonna See

411
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 4: you're gonna see a lot more football is going the other.

412
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 4: Way you'll see a lot more pass. Deflections and that's

413
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: what you. Want that's What Nick ross And Jonathan gannon.

414
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 4: Want they want to be a disruptive. Defense and don't

415
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 4: you give number zero TO cb? ONE i, MEAN i

416
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 4: don't know the. Backstory it was asked To will and

417
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 4: he didn't want to get into. Details he did appreciate

418
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 4: having single digit, number but having whether you want to

419
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 4: say agent zero or it means zero, catches zero receiving

420
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 4: yards or not on my, why whatever it is that

421
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 4: comes with a spotlight and one that you have to

422
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: be ready for and. Accepting and he was At michigan

423
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: because he wore number two out of respect For Charles.

424
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 4: Woodson so here's someone who's got that quiet confidence already

425
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: when he's on the football.

426
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: Field that's. JUICY i like.

427
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 4: It it's, sensational, Lacious it checks every single. Box, Craig

428
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 4: so are you, saying AND i put it to, you

429
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,439

430
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: LOSE i don't know job to.

431
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: Lose, okay here we, go because and this is not

432
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: what we have not seen this but position, drills how

433
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: they line up wide receiver. Drills we were all paying

434
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: attention last offseason who was number one in? Line because

435
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: it was Always Larry fitzgerald number one in. Line last, Offseason, hey,

436
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: Look marvin's first in. Line so those cornerback, drills who's

437
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: first in, line because that will tell you who IS

438
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: cb one before either one of us tells. Anyone BUT

439
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: i do think did we actually track that this?

440
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: Year you know? What now THAT i think about, IT

441
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: i don't. Know dang We why DIDN'T i look at

442
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: that more?

443
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: Close corners were, okay, well we had the defensive lineman

444
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: right in front of, us which was, wonderful but corners

445
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: were on the other side of the, field and the

446
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: way they were broken, up it Didn't it.

447
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 4: Can be hard to, see just you, know in our

448
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 4: own defense, listeners it can be hard to see you

449
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 4: when you're Like kalais And Dalvin tomlinson And Big Darius.

450
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: Robinson can you guys kind of move to the. LEFT

451
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 4: i can't see anything beyond, you. Guys but, okay If

452
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 4: Will johnson's first in, line you need. Too SO i

453
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 4: do think amongst the Three, Will max And, starr you've

454
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 4: got three and, out who who gets that starting? Nod and,

455
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 4: then more, importantly how many snaps are you getting and

456
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 4: we'll all go through That monday. Morning you get that.

457
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 4: Snapcount are you on the field as a corner ninety

458
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 4: percent of the time seventy five percent of the time

459
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 4: the coaches trust you that much to where you're not

460
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: leaving the field Like buddha Or Jalen. Thompson that's gonna

461
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 4: be interesting to figure. Out and by the, Way i'm

462
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 4: looking at last year's breakdown of The week one, roster

463
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 4: there were six corners on the roster going Into week

464
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: one twenty twenty, four and there were four. SAFETIES i

465
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: have a hard time believing your breaking camp was six

466
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 4: corners considering how you fortify the defensive. Front, MAYBE i,

467
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 4: mean you certainly Have denzel burg beyond the three you just,

468
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 4: well the four you, NAMED i, mean Because Garrett williams

469
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 4: is a, default then you Have Will, Johnson, Starling Thomas Max.

470
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 4: Melton beyond That Denzel, BURKE i, Mean cardinals consider him

471
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 4: a steal in round. Five and then after, THAT i

472
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 4: tell you it was hard not you talk about watching mini.

473
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 4: CAMP mi kept going To Elijah, jones number twenty, eight

474
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 4: just because we haven't seen much of. Him, YEAH i

475
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: hadn't seen. Him there's a reason why they took him

476
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 4: in round three year. Ago he's highly experienced out Of Boston,

477
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 4: college played a lot of college, football got a lot of,

478
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 4: starts got his hands on a lot of. Footballs he's

479
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: nearly six to. Two he moves really. Well he ran

480
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 4: a four to. Four he has really good ball. Skills he's.

481
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 4: Mature so if you're looking for someone to come out

482
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: of nowhere and actually make a little bit of noise

483
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: In cardinals, CAMP i would say it could Be Elijah

484
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: jones and Or Denzel.

485
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: Burke and then Does Kee Trell clark make a Move

486
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: Jaden davis another late round. Draft, Hi you've got a

487
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: veteran In Darren hall who does great things on special,

488
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: teams and that becomes, where, Hey jeff talking About Jeff,

489
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: rogers who is excelling on all those.

490
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: Phases because they.

491
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: Might not have top four cornerback, status but if you've

492
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: got top two status on special, teams now all of a,

493
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: sudden you've got a jersey on game day and become

494
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: more valuable than say that fourth or fifth.

495
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 4: Corner And i'm guessing based on what they've seen so.

496
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 4: Far Keaton, crawford this seventh rounder on A nevada formerly

497
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 4: Of texas' first four. YEARS i, mean he's ALREADY i,

498
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 4: think made a big positive impression on his special teams.

499
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: COACH i, mean there's a reason why they targeted him

500
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 4: in round. Seven and so there's a guy when you

501
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 4: talk about keeping four, safeties you know he look it's.

502
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 4: This this roster is more loaded than it's been the

503
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 4: last two years. Combined when it comes to roster competition

504
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: in the fight for fifty, three it's going to be really.

505
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: Intriguing And, craig the few People i've talked to about

506
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 4: the last couple of days of mini camp where The

507
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 4: cardinals went won eleven on. Eleven the defense balled, out,

508
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: defense showed. Up, defense let the offense know they weren't

509
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 4: the same defense from the last two. Years they were,

510
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: balling they were, chirping and so not only is it

511
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 4: going to be competitive to get yourself a spot in

512
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 4: the final fifty, three it's going to be competitive eleven

513
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 4: on eleven offense against defense Throughout cardinals.

514
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: Camp and it's that defense why people are pointing to

515
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: The cardinals as one of those most improved teams in

516
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: the offseason because of the amount of bodies and financial

517
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: resources and even draft capital that went on that side

518
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: of the. Ball when you're talking About Josh, Sweat Dalvin,

519
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: Tomlinson Kalais, Campbell Walter, nolan, Third Will, Johnson Cody, simon

520
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: not to Mention Jordan. Birch so there's a reason why

521
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: people are noticing The cardinals specifically about that. Defense by the,

522
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: way the the just so you since we finished off

523
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: the tea's, Here, paul these six other teams AT nfl

524
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: dot com listed is most? Improved great for the teams

525
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: you can go? Nowhere butt up The raiders And patriots

526
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: for win teams a year. Ago The bears And jets

527
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: they won five games last, year SO i, mean are you?

528
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: Really are you?

529
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Really there's a lot of work to be done, there

530
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: so anything is an, improvement.

531
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 4: Right The bears And jets were so. Disfunctional just getting

532
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 4: some competent leadership and management elevates them so they're. Automatically

533
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 4: and then when The patriots came to town last, YEAR

534
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 4: i mean they Had Christian gonzales And Drake may's promising

535
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: and a lot of. NOTHING i mean that that roster

536
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 4: was so bereft of any talent it was borderline. Shocking

537
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 4: and then The, raiders you never quite sure what to,

538
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 4: think but they do Have Geno, smith a lot of

539
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: respect for What Geno smith did against The cardinals in

540
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 4: his three. Years and then you Know Pete carroll more

541
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 4: motivated than. Ever there's coach double rainbow bringing it in the.

542
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 4: Desert we'll see them in the. Preseason so, okay all,

543
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 4: right you Know i'll buy those those entrants right. There of,

544
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 4: course then if you believe everyone In San, francisco right

545
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 4: in The Bay, area they like to think The niners

546
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 4: are on the, rebound so based on last year's last

547
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 4: place finish and this year's last play, schedule and you,

548
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 4: know apparently they're just shrugging off the loss Of Drake

549
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 4: greenlawn To HELENOAH. Hafannga and you know That jankee offensive

550
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: line other Than Trent. Williams you KNOW cmc is. BACK

551
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 4: i guess all stay. Healthy, yeah all is, GOOD i,

552
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,560

553
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,520

Speaker 4: George kittle last week In niners mini camp where he

558
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 4: said About Robert, salah who's their defensive, coordinator said the

559
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: violence is. Back so now they're using the word violence

560
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 4: with the forty nine ers and then The Robert salad.

561
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 4: Defense so because they were a disaster last year and

572
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: targets he got last year and how many official catches

573
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: he got last. YEAR i don't mean to put you

574
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 4: on the, spot but you know there's room for improvement

575
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: in that.

576
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 2: CATEGORY i get.

577
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 4: It he's basically at his size six five two, eighty you,

578
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: know ridiculous in terms of his you, know strength and

579
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: ability to. Block he's a block first tight. End but

580
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 4: he can catch the, ball he can. Move he had

581
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 4: a really good At letticism score coming out Of. Illinois

582
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 4: here's a guy if you can at least get him

583
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: a couple dozen catches this year to keep a defense.

584
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 4: Honest and you know What i've been saying now for

585
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 4: almost a year IS i don't Want if there's ever

586
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: such a thing as a suggestion box outside the office

587
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 4: Of Drew, Petsing i'm gonna put that little slip of

588
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 4: paper in, there and it's gonna be at least one

589
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 4: tight end screen every game To Tip, ryman and the

590
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: name of the play is gonna be who wants? Them

591
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 4: because here it comes six catches for thirty seven yards

592
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 4: to your, Point, yet can those numbers? INCREASE i don't

593
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 4: even know if you need them to. INCREASE i didn't

594
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 4: include him on the list of second year players, because,

595
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 4: yeah he might not have shown up in the stat,

596
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 4: sheet but he was on the field a good amount

597
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: of time because you're playing with two and three tight,

598
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 4: ends and oftentimes it Was tip as your second tight

599
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: end because he's a better blocker Than elijah is or

600
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 4: anyone else in that, room Including. Trey WOULD i would

601
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 4: Put Tip ryman's blocking ahead Of trey, McBride and that's

602
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: something That trey is working. On but there was a

603
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 4: reason why you invested a third round, pick and Tip

604
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 4: riman might not have made sense when you look at

605
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 4: why you draft in a tight. End but within this

606
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: offensive scheme What Drew petsen wants to, do it's a no.

607
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: Brainer and it doesn't matter where you're, selected are you

608
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 4: going to be? Used and he tip was used extensively

609
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: last season and as often as The cardinals used multiple

610
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: tight end formations in personnel groups twelve and thirteen. Personnel

611
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 4: When Tip ryman And trey McBride execute their, block look

612
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 4: out and the most prime example of that last season

613
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 4: Was kyler's fifty yard touchdown run at the forty nine

614
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: ers second play from scrimmage for The. Cardinals the key

615
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 4: to that Play Tip ryman And trey McBride executed flawless,

616
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 4: blocks sealed their guy And kyler had an open lane

617
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 4: fifty yards worth finger up as he got to the second.

618
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 2: Level and then There's.

619
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: Elijah higgins who look he has slowly but surely improved his,

620
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 4: game and and Us Ben, steel the tight ends, coach

621
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: he has the will to stick his face in that

622
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 4: fan former receiver At.

623
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: Stanford i'm surprised you praising a kid From.

624
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 4: Stanford at least now you know he's he's got his

625
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 4: hand in the, dirt he's getting, dirty you, know none of,

626
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 4: this you, know pretty boy glamour stuff like you would

627
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 4: typically get out Of stanford.

628
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: Football no.

629
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 4: Easy he's in, there he's in the trenches and he

630
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 4: just keeps getting bigger and stronger and transforming from what

631
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: was once a wide receiver body just two and a

632
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 4: half years.

633
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: Ago and so and.

634
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 4: Look we've seen him make some really nice catches and

635
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 4: some really impressive runs after. Catch so that's one area

636
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 4: Where i'm, like, hmm if they have to save a,

637
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: spot do they end up with only three tight ends

638
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 4: on the final fifty three as opposed to a year

639
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 4: ago when they had.

640
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: Four, well the fourth Was Travis vocalec and he was

641
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: inactive most every single week UNTIL i think the last

642
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: part of the regular. Season but that's where you keep

643
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: because you don't want to be caught if there's an.

644
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: Injury and at tight end there were no injuries ever

645
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: maintained their health and then you just it's like break

646
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: glass in case of an. Emergency there was no emergency

647
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: at tight, end but you want to make sure you

648
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: have A PLAN b if you need A PLAN, b

649
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: AND i Think travis was That PLAN b in the

650
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: tight end. Room it's just can he can he do

651
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: anything this offseason to not be A PLAN b but

652
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: actually have a uniform on game.

653
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 4: Day you, know the, guy the Former cardinal actually had

654
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 4: a nice finish to last. Season he now plays for The.

655
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 4: Browns Blake. Whitehart, yes and he actually had some. Money

656
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 4: catches for The browns and actually.

657
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: Did a really nice.

658
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 4: Job so that's, see that's gonna start happening with more

659
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 4: frequency as The cardinals keep improving the talent level on

660
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 4: this team and everyone. Agrees last, year you, know the

661
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 4: talent level in the tight end room was stellar and

662
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 4: as a result of, that they had to part ways

663
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 4: With Blake.

664
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: Whiteheart, well he catches on with The.

665
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 4: Browns he, developed he was a young guy and really

666
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: he was a blocking tight end And Wake forest never

667
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: really got many targets or. Receptions but you know that's gonna.

668
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 4: Happen and so with that in, MIND i am curious

669
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 4: if they get a week or two into. Camp obviously

670
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 4: you always monitor the thirty one other. Teams if someone

671
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 4: suffers an injury at a position group where The cardinals are,

672
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 4: loaded you, know does money get on that? Phone and

673
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 4: instead of just LETTING, hnd letting guys hit the open

674
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 4: market come Late, august maybe you're maybe you're more proactive

675
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 4: earlier in the month and you're more willing to trade

676
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 4: a guy just you, know you're dealing from from a

677
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 4: position of. Strength and then you start stockpiling some picks

678
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: if nothing, else.

679
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: Especially if it's a sixth round or a seventh round

680
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: or a conditional to where you depending on how many

681
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: games played or snaps, played that pick can move into

682
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: perhaps maybe the fifth. Round because you're, right if you

683
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: have a vast if you have a, surplus, yeah you might,

684
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: release you. Might you might have a team out there

685
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: that they're gonna release however many, Players but where are

686
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: you on that pecking order as far as waiver Claim

687
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: and if all of a, sudden like team like The

688
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City chiefs Or Philadelphia eagles way down that, list

689
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: you pick up the phone and, say, hey we'll give

690
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: you a conditional six for said. Player, okay you're giving

691
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: me something for someone that we just don't have any

692
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: room for love to keep. Them we just can't because

693
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: we're limited to fifty three and there's no way he's

694
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: going to slide through waivers to get him back on

695
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: our practice. Squads so, yeah YOU i do think you might.

696
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: Have now that's, curious like what's the over under on

697
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: potential Late august Early september trades to.

698
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 2: Figure out that.

699
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: Roster but it wouldn't surprise me if there was a

700
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: couple like there were a couple of years ago When

701
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: Isaiah simmons was Delt Josh jones was dealt.

702
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: That Cam thomas last.

703
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: Year if there's no room then, okay well it's not

704
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: that we made a mistake by bringing that player, in

705
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: but we don't have the. Room so how do we

706
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: benefit and giving that player an opportunity?

707
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 4: Elsewhere so for, example let's say you get a sixth

708
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 4: or a seventh rounder in, return like you did For

709
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: Cam thomas a year. Ago well guess what that turned

710
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 4: Into Hayden connor in the sixth. Round that turned Into

711
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 4: Keaton crawford in the seventh. Round so these are things

712
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 4: THAT nfl draft rooms AND nfl general, managers they cover

713
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 4: it and they value that because you can take a

714
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 4: flyer on a guy and you, know a free. Pick,

715
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 4: hey we'll take it as opposed to letting someone just

716
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 4: sign the line that has dotted with another. Team SO

717
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 4: i am, curious AND i do, THINK mani instead of just,

718
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: okay waiting for cut day to roll, around which this

719
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: year is going to Be august twenty, six it's A, tuesday,

720
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 4: INSTEAD i wonder if he starts, identifying for, Example Ben,

721
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 4: stilly who was let go earlier this. OFFSEASON i, mean

722
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 4: there was no chance he was going to crack that

723
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 4: d line room come the final, cut and so you

724
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 4: know what you want to. Do the guy, right and

725
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 4: he's been a great cardinal for a couple of years

726
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 4: and he's given you everything he popped could and he

727
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: was well respecting the locker. Room but he has a

728
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 4: legitimate chance to catch on another team and Forge NIC's.

729
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 4: Career so you let him go earlier in the process

730
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 4: and see if you can find a.

731
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: Home and there could be a couple of players in

732
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: that defensive line room depending on how things go between

733
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: now and cut down, day as far as if everyone stays,

734
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: healthy because that's another loaded room and you're not keeping,

735
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: everyone and who's to say you'll be able to slide

736
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: someone to your practice, squad and, again can you get

737
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: something for someone that you were you had no plans

738
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: for based off a fifty three man, roster.

739
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: And you know what it might.

740
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 4: Be yet another reason Why Jonathan gannon is going with

741
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 4: quote more friction this year in camp because you have

742
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 4: more depth from which to do it, Now as he,

743
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 4: said we're going to do it in a safe. Way

744
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 4: in no way are we going to risk further. Injury

745
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 4: but injuries can. Happen injuries can especially happen when you're

746
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 4: going full, speed full contact. Football but now it's not

747
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 4: nearly knock on wood as devastatingism might have been last

748
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 4: year or the year before when your depth chart was

749
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 4: so much. Thinner now you do have the ability at

750
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 4: least if you want to go a little heavier in

751
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 4: practice and you're on a ramp of the, physicality guess,

752
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 4: what you have the numbers in the depth to be

753
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 4: able to do.

754
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: That from our, perspective And i'll speak for, You, PAUL

755
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: i certainly hope that's the case that we do see

756
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more, physicality whether that's more days in

757
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: pads to use them all up before you break camp

758
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: and come back To tempe or is it just the

759
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: nature and the style of the drills that they're, doing

760
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: and there's more one on one work as opposed to

761
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: seven on seven or eleven on. Eleven but those pass rush,

762
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: drills offensive lineman versus defensive, lineman running backs against, linebackers

763
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: stuff like, that to where all, right let's utilize those

764
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: particular practices or those particular practice sessions a little bit

765
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: more in training camp than maybe we did the first two.

766
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 4: Years it doesn't have to mean just more, pads more,

767
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 4: hitting more overt. Physicality it can just be more compete

768
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 4: more all, right eleven on, eleven here we, go full,

769
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 4: speed full. Go you're not tackling to the ground you

770
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 4: never do in. Camp but there'd just be more of,

771
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: that more sessions that are more competitive than they.

772
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: Were a year.

773
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 4: Ago at the same, time What Rob frederickson, Say you know,

774
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 4: what if there's a few more inside run, drills you

775
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if not every single full padded practice last,

776
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 4: year to my, recollection had AN o LINE d line.

777
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 4: Drill so when you are in full, pads maybe that's an,

778
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 4: ABSOLUTE i, mean that's a. Staple and then you, know

779
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 4: maybe there's some goal line sessions you know where, okay

780
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 4: you know it's kind of a thud, drill but it

781
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 4: really turns into full go football by the time these,

782
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 4: guys you, know the blood starts. Boiling SO i, think

783
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 4: and once Again i've said, this there were two in

784
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 4: the first month of the year where The cardinals do

785
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 4: not win the battle of physicality Against detroit and Against.

786
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 2: Washington washington's d. Line they set a.

787
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 4: Tone and so now you want to be that, team

788
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 4: especially now that you have the depth and you have the,

789
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 4: physicality you have the dudes who can. Deliver and so

790
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 4: what does every coach do in any. Sport you match

791
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 4: your style of play to your. Personnel and The cardinals

792
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 4: are more equipped than ever to play that, physical violent

793
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 4: brand of football THAT jg.

794
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: Seeks there are no night. PRACTICES i don't envision a night.

795
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: Practice Jonathan gannon has not done. That but can we

796
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: get back to that, intensity that feeling when The cardinals

797
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: went up north to Flag staff and that night Practice Lumberjack,

798
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: stadium everyone pointed to that night. Practice you're outdoors and,

799
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: yeah you were in full, pads and a handful of

800
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: times those practices ended early because that were not just,

801
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: exchange but As wolf likes to, say, hey there's nothing

802
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 1: wrong with. Fighting, well there were several skirmishes during those

803
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: practices and flag staff.

804
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 4: And here's the, Thing, craig you, know here's the other,

805
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 4: thing and this kind of comes full. Circle hopefully this isn't.

806
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: Repetitive but you know what else ams up the intensity

807
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 4: is when jobs are on the. Line it's one thing

808
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 4: to be competitive and all, right offense trying to beat the,

809
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 4: defense corners are trying to beat the. Receivers but now

810
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 4: if a number of jobs are legitimately on the, line

811
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 4: and the film from these full, go full contact drills

812
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,479
Speaker 4: are going to be evaluated first and foremost before anything

813
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 4: else you do out in that. Field, well that's where

814
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 4: the intensity gets real close to game.

815
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Day speaking full, circle do you need me to walk

816
