8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: That defender is in multiple pieces.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 4: All that was nasty right there?

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: Rights the latest news and notes from the insiders who

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: cover the teams.

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: Drilled by Simmons. Isaiah Simmons is balling, breaking on breaking

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: on swim to the ground by Budda Baker Like a torpedo.

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 3: He came flying into the backfield. I ain't scarting nobody.

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: Here's Paul Calvc.

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: I used to be fond of saying that the easiest

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: way to a million dollars was off the backs of

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: pet owners. No expense is ever spared for Fido, right,

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, people lose their mind spending on

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: their pet. But if we want to make some serious cash,

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: like a billion, it's weight loss. And I'm thinking the

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: new rage across the country when it comes to weight loss,

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: just take a couple of joint practices and the heating

24
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: next of one fourteen and then call the doctor in

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: the morning. Because Zach Pascal had it waight, I wrote

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: it down. He estimated he lost twelve pounds by the

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: end of that joint practice.

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: It was guestimating, though Paul guestimating. It was gestimating.

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: Now he's gonna put that right back on. Like Josh

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: Wood said, I've lost eight or nine pounds, which means

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna drink eight or nine waters and or gatorades

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: and then by the time I'm done, oh, put the

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: weight back on. But you know, maybe there's something there.

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: I should give it a shot.

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 5: It was.

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: It was pretty pretty warm at a Wednesday's joint practice.

37
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: I wasn't naming names, Darren. I wasn't looking at you

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: when I was talking about weight loss.

39
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: We all know where that that was going. You weren't looking.

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 5: Wow, Well he knows better than that.

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: Ron Wolfley's in the room.

42
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: That's true.

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: Thankfully. He doesn't have a micro right now.

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: So he's eating a salad, so we name drop.

45
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: Him as he's eating a salad. So maybe that might

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: have been the inspiration. There you go here on Cardinals Underground,

47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: brought to you by Pacific Office Automation. Yes, we are

48
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: fresh off a joint practice. Number one. Cardinals and Vikings.

49
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: Enjoy your shower, pol I say, yeah, you're welcome both

50
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,279
Speaker 2: of you for showering before this, because in the power.

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: Pole showers, I think the last time I needed to

52
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: shower that bad was probably high school two a day

53
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: football practices. That was. I mean, it just shows you

54
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: what any elite athlete is all about. YEA, when I

55
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: was almost heat exhausted just standing there working a cell

56
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: phone and these guys are playing full speed, full contact football.

57
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: You were working very hard though capturing video on that

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: cell phone, poll.

59
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 5: Would tell yourself short, I wish.

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 3: I had more highlights from the offense though. Yeah, we'll

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: get into that in a little bit, a little bit,

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: a little bit, a little bit. I did enjoy watching

63
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 3: the cameras, speaking to the cameras. There's expert camera work

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: which you'll get on Cardinal's flight plan. There's really poor

65
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 3: camera work which you'll get off my Twitter account and

66
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: my cell phone. See I'm making I make I make

67
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: everyone else appreciate the Emmy Award winning effort. It is

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: Cardinal's flight plan. I wasn't bad.

69
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 4: I wasn't going to bring up the video of Buddha

70
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: Baker breaking up the play where you don't really see

71
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: him breaking up the play. But but you know, as

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 4: long as you're bringing.

73
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: The sun is on my screen and I can't even

74
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: see what I'm shooting. I'm just guestimating it's brutal. And

75
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: then I'm left with do I tweet this out and

76
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: incurl the wrath of Darren Urban or do I just

77
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: sit on it. It's a tough deal there.

78
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 4: I mean, I will say this, the benefit of Twitter

79
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 4: when you're when you're sitting there and you're watching a

80
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: joint practice, you can't possibly see everything that's going on

81
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 4: at once clearly because there's your your one team's offense

82
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: is going against the other team's defense, and there's two

83
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: different fields. And and then today with Larry Fitzgerald's out there,

84
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: so I ended up spending some time talking to him,

85
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: so you're not seeing everything. So the benefit of Twitter,

86
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: I will say, was I got to see a couple

87
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: of plays that I hadn't seen that were you either

88
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: tweeted out by a media member or even somebody a

89
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: fan from you know who was watching that had come

90
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: out to watch the Viking, so that was kind of nice.

91
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: And there were a handful of plays that could catch

92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 4: your eye. But I think going back to what you're saying, Paul,

93
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: and it was kind of underscored by what the players

94
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: said afterwards, where I think ultimately they wish today the

95
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: initial practice, the ones they practice that we're recording after,

96
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: would have gone a little bit better. But that's why

97
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 4: you're doing these things is to get better. And the

98
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: one thing I did get out of this, and this

99
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: kind of goes back to the heat and the humanity

100
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 4: and doing all this. If they have today's practice and

101
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 4: then they do that again Thursday, I'm I'm really curious

102
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: to know who actually plays Saturday, because I don't know

103
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: how much they're gonna want to run out. I mean,

104
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: even last week Michael Wilson was saying, these are this

105
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: is gonna be the two the only two times they've

106
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 4: done high days back to back, and they're going to

107
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: do that again tomorrow and the heat's not going to

108
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: be that much better. Do you do you wind back

109
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: some of these guys, some of these veterans in the game, Well.

110
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 2: The plan might already be before all this, such that

111
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: a lot of those veteran starters who played more even

112
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: in the second preseason game compared to the first, might

113
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: the plan all along might have been they're not going

114
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: to touch the field for the final game.

115
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: Well quote after the KC game, I asked Josh Woods

116
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: postgame radio, what do you expect it with the joint practices?

117
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: What do you tell some of the rookies who haven't

118
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: been through it? He said, well, there's going to be

119
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: a game filed by another game filed by the game,

120
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: meaning game like intensity for each of the joint practices,

121
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: and then whoever's playing obviously four quarters against the Vikings

122
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: on Saturday. To your point, Darren, are you saying that

123
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: if the caliber play doesn't pick up, the guys are

124
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: more apt to play?

125
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. What I'm saying is is with the

126
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: I'm saying with the intensity of both days, and you

127
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: combine it with the whether you're playing in You know, Danny,

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 4: maybe right it already made have been set in stone.

129
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 4: But if it wasn't, you know, maybe that changes some

130
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: things in terms of who you might want to put

131
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: out there. Although again you're trying to figure out who

132
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: your roster is gonna be. This team has to be

133
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 4: cut down on the day we're gonna record next underground

134
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: next Tuesday. So you know, that's one of those things

135
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 4: where you got to see the guys, you got to

136
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: see in order to make those decisions. And as Jonathan

137
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: Gannon keeps saying, that's an ongoing process.

138
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: I'll give you two proclamations that came to the conclusion

139
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: of after today's practice. You ready for this talking about

140
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 3: the roster. I'm not even looking at you out, Darren. Okay,

141
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna proceed, Number one, yelled to Froholt absolutely

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: nailed down the starting center job today by not being

143
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: here and how discombobulated the Cardinals old line looked at times.

144
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: It's sort of like when Steve Nash won the first

145
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: of his two MVPs for the Suns. He really clinched

146
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: the MVP Awards streak when he didn't show up when

147
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: he was injured for six games and they looked like

148
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: they were a twenty win team. Yes, so same deal

149
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: with the elder Frohold. I don't know if that was

150
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: what was wrong, but there were a lot of false starts.

151
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: There were a lot of unaccounted for rushers coming up

152
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: through the interior of the old line. So, and the

153
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: other thing I'll throw out there, col McCoy hasn't done

154
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: anything to nail down the job between the Kansas City

155
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: preseason game and the first joint practice. I'm not saying

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: that the fifth round rookie is going to start week one.

157
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that col McCoy hasn't slammed the door shut.

158
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: Danny, Danny, He's gonna say, I'm I'm gonna tout for

159
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 4: tune it's coming. That's that's gonna be his name?

160
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: Is that the same, No, that the headline is going

161
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: to be Will JG name that tune? It's starter week one.

162
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: That's where we're trying.

163
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: I apologize for bringing this up.

164
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: Sorry, I was trying to get there eventually, but you know,

165
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: Darren of course had.

166
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 5: To cut to the chase.

167
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: You know, he's a patient that way.

168
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: No, it's it's interesting you bring up those points because

169
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: that was just kind of what sood out to me

170
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: as well when looking at the offense and Wednesday's practice,

171
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: and we should say, yell to for a whole wasn't

172
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: at practice Wednesday because he and both left tackle DJ

173
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: Humphries welcomed children into the world, which.

174
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: Is very right.

175
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if this is the first child

176
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: for for a hole, but this is I believe number

177
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: three for the Humphries family, but very exciting. So that's

178
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: why they weren't there again and said that they will

179
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: join the team later in the week. But with Colt McCoy,

180
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: I agree, it's very interesting that it doesn't seem like

181
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: he's doing anything to build that case, maybe more so

182
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: than he did when training camp started. It just felt

183
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: like some of the decisions were questionable at practice, or

184
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: they weren't good throws, the receivers were dropping passes. It

185
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: just the offense just it looked slow. And I don't

186
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: know if that is weather related of like it was

187
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 2: so incredibly humid and if they just felt more tired

188
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: practicing at that point outside. I don't really know, but

189
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: looking at the Vikings defense in comparison, the Cardinals offense.

190
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 5: Just looked flat.

191
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 4: I do also think that like Jonathan Gannon's had a

192
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 4: couple of chances to wipe that out, whether it's saying

193
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: Colt's gonna be my guy or Clayton tomb probably isn't

194
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: going to be that guy, and he's not saying those things.

195
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: So I know what you're I know how you're looking

196
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: because he's he's doing that with everybody. It's like the

197
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: question today once again from cam Cox, who are is

198
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 4: there anybody in particularly you're looking at in these practices

199
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 4: or is it all ninety which you probably didn't need

200
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: to ask. Oh, it's all ninety, Cam, it's all ninety. Well.

201
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 3: I did try and get to the root of the

202
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: whole quarterback thing in a roundabout wait before the practice,

203
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: I asked Jonathan Gannon, what would you like to see

204
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: out of your rookie quarterback? What boxes are left to check?

205
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 3: And his answer was continue to play fast. That was

206
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: the quote end quote. And then cam did fallow up,

207
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: is there any chance that the fifth round rookie could

208
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 3: start Week one? And you're right, Darren, because the head

209
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: coach said, we'll see. We're evaluating that every day. So look,

210
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: is he named anyone necessarily now an absolute starter?

211
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 4: And that's kind of where Danny's rolling of the eyes

212
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 4: came from, because he's not not that you're rolling in

213
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: the eye. You're rolling the eyes at me. Let me

214
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: make that clear. You're rolling the eyes at me, because

215
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 4: that's the deal is he doesn't he's not going to say.

216
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: In fact, what was it the other day when he

217
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: was like you'll know, you'll know when.

218
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 5: They're out there in the media, Kyler Murray.

219
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: And Garrett Williams like, oh, you'll know when they're out there. Okay.

220
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: You know what though, I I do, even though clearly

221
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 2: rolling my eyes, I right like that that is kind

222
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: of expected. I feel like at this point when we're

223
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: not getting official injury reports and you have so many players,

224
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: but truly, I do think that there is an actual

225
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: quarterback battle happening.

226
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: Like I, I.

227
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: Really feel that there's a good chance this coaching staff

228
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: where we stand right now, in this very moment, doesn't

229
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: know who they're starting quarterback for Week one, and Washington

230
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: is going to be I'm sure they're leaning towards one way,

231
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: and you have pros and cons of both Colt McCoy

232
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: or Clayton Tune. So it'll be interesting to see how

233
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: the philosophies mesh up. You know, this isn't just a

234
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: Jonathan Gannon decision, right, You have to obviously incorporate your pensing,

235
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: your offensive coordinator and talk to your quarterbacks coach and

236
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: Iszi wolferg that's there's gonna be a lot of people

237
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: who have a hand in that decision. But because McCoy

238
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: hasn't done anything to truly show that he is so

239
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: much further ahead than Clayton Tune. That's not to say

240
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: Claytonton is on McCoy's level, right, McCoy is what fourteen

241
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: fifteen years of experience. I just think that we saw

242
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 2: in the second preseason game, the athleticism with Tune's footwork

243
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 2: and being able to run and the power in his arm.

244
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 2: Given there's still things that need to be worked on

245
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: with some of those high passes in the footwork that

246
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 2: too mentioned postgame, But I wouldn't be surprised if Jonathan

247
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: Gannon is being truthfully honest to say that they don't

248
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: know who the starter is week one at this point.

249
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 3: Well, look, there's what we can see and then there's

250
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: what Cole McCoy just brings inherently, right, So what we

251
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: can see is absolutely the athleticism. Asked Jonathan Gannon after

252
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: the Kansas City game, Hey, the O line only gave

253
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: a one sack and that was the very end where

254
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: David Bile held onto the ball forever. He said, yeah,

255
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: but the rookie also had some great escapability, made the

256
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: old line look good and sort of save they're bacon

257
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: a few times. But then there's what we can't see

258
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 3: in these sort of settings is that that is all

259
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: the experience that Cole McCoy has when Ron Rivera's dialing

260
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 3: something up week one and you're going against Montese Sweat

261
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: and Deron Payne and Jonathan Allen and Chase Young and

262
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: so you're seeing all these looks that you can't possibly

263
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 3: simulate in the preseason or a rookie. So with that

264
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: in mind, you know that's going to factor big obviously

265
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: into the decision.

266
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: Oh, on top of it, let's say, y' all, the

267
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: fro Holtz, you're starting center, and he's got a number

268
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 4: of years in this league, well, obviously a lot more

269
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: than rookie John Gaines, but yell, the frot Hold has

270
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: only started four games at center. So are you good

271
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 4: with a center with four games of experience? With a

272
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: rookie quarterback? I mean, that's again, all this stuff has

273
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 4: got to go into the blender, as it will will

274
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 4: and figure out how that that all susses out and

275
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 4: and what makes the most sense, and and the question

276
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: then becomes, are you are you going to have a

277
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 4: good enough sense of that come Sunday morning after the

278
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: Vikings game, because there are no more games, and there's

279
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 4: only I mean, next week's practices. I don't even know

280
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: how many practices are going to be. I think they

281
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: automatically get all four days of the week of the

282
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 4: well three days of the labor day week, and I

283
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 4: think they're off Friday. So like you've only got after

284
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: this game, so much left of being able to make

285
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 4: their choices. I would think that by dime you get

286
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 4: to Saturday's game, you're gonna have to know a pretty

287
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: good of who your team is gonna be.

288
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: And then you're waiting to see the cuts around the league.

289
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a whole different ball game as well.

290
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,239
Speaker 2: That's gonna play a role in all these decisions.

291
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: Here's what you do. You give Clayton tune three quarters

292
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: of the final preseason game, and then you follow our

293
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: next marketing mantra. You ready for this one, Danny, let

294
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: the rook cook.

295
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,359
Speaker 5: Darren be nice.

296
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: I'm serious.

297
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: You go into preseason game number three years, let the

298
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: rook Cook and then then you see where it stands

299
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: after that.

300
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: First of all, why don't you tweet that? And I'll

301
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 5: retweet you.

302
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 4: And I understand that not these things don't have to

303
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 4: necessarily be separate things. But on one hand, I agree

304
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: with Paul, like you gotta let Tune play as much

305
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 4: as you can. But also it feels so hard not

306
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: to sit here and say, Paul's just looking for something

307
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 4: to be able to talk about during this game, something

308
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 4: something to rhyme. Yes, that actually is something like I said.

309
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: And I said this three months ago. I have no

310
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: problem fanning the flames of a quarterback competition slash controversy

311
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: in August.

312
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: I have no problem doing that. You've been very consistent.

313
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: Yes, I've been very vocal about that. It gets us

314
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: through training camp like you wouldn't believe now all of

315
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: a sudden, though it might have actually come to fruition.

316
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: It might be legit to some degree. Here's what we

317
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: don't know. Let's get back to the joint practice. How

318
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: did Clayton tune grade out today? Because Brian Flores is

319
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: known as a very aggressive defensive coordinator. What sort of

320
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: looks was he getting in that joint practice. How did

321
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: he react? Did he get the Cardinals into the right

322
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: checks and calls? Did he go to the right spot

323
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: with the football? We're going to find out in flight plan,

324
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: I think to a large degree, because Drew Petson was

325
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: miked up, Nick Rowlis was miked up to former Vikings

326
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: assistants who are now the Cardinals coordinators. So there they

327
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: were back coaching against the team that they came up with,

328
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: and both were calling their schemes. And I think we're

329
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: going to find out what sort of mastery did the

330
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback have? Could it be sufficient enough to make

331
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: a go of it in week one? Because what will

332
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: the coaches tell you? And as of the Kansas City game,

333
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: ninety percent of the playbook was in on either side

334
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: of the ball. That was our understanding. Yet you're not

335
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: going to use the entire playbook in a game. You're

336
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: just going to take out one chapter, one section, So

337
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: you don't have to be a master of all, just

338
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: a master of that week's game plan, which is just

339
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: a small percentage of what you've installed to that point.

340
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: Is Clayton Tune capable of pulling that off?

341
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 4: Thankfully, I don't have to make those decisions because I

342
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 4: don't think I don't think it's an easy decision for

343
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: all the reasons we've already been talking about. And I

344
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: understand the skepticism of people talking about putting a fifth

345
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 4: round rookie out there. I mean, heck you, you're there.

346
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: There is a very real possibility that the first overall

347
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: pick is going to struggle, uh and Bryce Young when

348
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: he's put out there. I mean, Kyler Murray struggled quite

349
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 4: a bit in his rookie year, and he was the

350
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 4: first overall pick. So now you're talking about somebody who's

351
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 4: a lot of teams passed on, and there were many

352
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: quarterbacks that were taken in front of him, and and

353
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 4: is that going to work out? And and again for me,

354
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: when we start talking about Kyler or not Kyler Murray,

355
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 4: Clayton Tune or Colt McCoy, it all comes back to

356
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 4: it's all under that super huge umbrella of the big

357
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 4: story of the season, which is when does Kyler Murray

358
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 4: come back? Because that maybe maybe that also plays a

359
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 4: part into it, is like if we think Kyler comes

360
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 4: back X, then it makes more sense to go with

361
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: Clayton Tune as opposed to Colt McCoy or vice versa.

362
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: Guess who's starting for Washington week one, a fifth round

363
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 3: quarterback two years ago with one career start under his

364
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: belt in Sam Howell. Just think about that for one minute.

365
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: That's all. I'm just throwing that out there.

366
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 4: There's all about the storylines for you, Paul, there's And.

367
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: To your point, Darren, you're right because I was half

368
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: joking with Drew stan about this on the broadcast. Bryce

369
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: Young has definitely looked like a rookie. C. J. Stroud,

370
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson. Those are three of the top four picks

371
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: in the draft. As Drew said, the only surefire rookie

372
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 3: quarterback we've seen so far in the NFL is late

373
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 3: fourth round out of Purdue Aidan O'Connell, who had that

374
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: great one half for the Raiders and everyone put him

375
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame already. Okay, so that was

376
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: sort of an eye roll, some good snark from true Stanton.

377
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: But look, there's another player I'm gonna get to a

378
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 3: little bit later who I think should play three quarters

379
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: of this game on Saturday. Probably won't. We'll throw it

380
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: out there, we'll get your reaction. But just in terms

381
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: of what you saw, out there today for the joint practice.

382
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: Any other takeaways? What else did you write down, Danny,

383
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: What else did you tweet about? What else stood out

384
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: to you?

385
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: Cardinals and Vikings, Michael Wilson still looked good in one

386
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: on one, able to create space and make some of

387
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: those contested catches. Offense wise, that that was probably one

388
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: of the brighter spots from looking it just kind of

389
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: felt like the Vikings defense was down their throat a lot,

390
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: but on defense looked like they were holding their own

391
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: a little more. Kee Trall Clark was going up against

392
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson.

393
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: A lot some hits and there right.

394
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: There was a one on one that Clark ended up

395
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: getting the best of Jefferson, which is good. Buddha Baker

396
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: had a nice pass breakup in the red zone, so good.

397
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: Good to take away. I thought that the defense overall,

398
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: from what I was seeing moving from field to field,

399
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: looked better than.

400
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 5: The offense as a whole.

401
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, key troll Clark getting reps against Justin Jefferson,

402
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: one of the best in the biz, and then also

403
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 3: Jordan Addison, a first round receiver out of USC that's

404
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 3: invaluable to me right there, that's worth the price of

405
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: admission alone when you come out to a joint practice.

406
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: So I thought that was big. I thought, in turn,

407
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 3: those young dbs go against Kirk Cousins talking to Budda

408
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 3: Baker about that. You know, he was making checks and

409
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: calls and audibling during the team session based on where

410
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 3: Buddha was. Kirk Cousin was reacting accordingly, so that I

411
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 3: thought that was a big no question about it. As

412
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: far as Michael Wilson goes, the fact he hasn't played

413
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 3: a whole bunch in the preseason, I think tells us

414
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: everything we need to know. They already trust him. Yeah,

415
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: they've already seen enough.

416
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. I feel like that was kind of trending the

417
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 4: whole way. I mean, it's funny you bring up Key

418
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 4: Truck Clark because I also feel and I know Marco

419
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 4: Wilson is hurt right now, so automatically, Key Truck Clark

420
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 4: was probably gonna get more reps higher up the depth chart.

421
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 4: But you know, I saw a couple of two straight

422
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 4: eleven on eleven reps where Justin Jefferson easily got the

423
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 4: best of Key Truck Clark, and that's gonna happen. But

424
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 4: he did get him in that one one on one.

425
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 4: I don't know if I would have done the gritty

426
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: on Justin Jefferson after a pass breakup just because.

427
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 3: I did not see that.

428
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 4: Yeah did he really? Yeah? It's and it's the reason

429
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 4: I know because it's on video by many people. Cam

430
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 4: Cox had it, but there was also a guy in

431
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 4: the stands who recorded it, so that that was that

432
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: was interesting. But he also made another play later on,

433
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: and I forget who the receiver was, but I think

434
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 4: he's going to have a chance. I really believe he's

435
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: going to have a chance to start when all is

436
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 4: sudden done, or at least get significant playing time. I

437
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: thought Greg Dortsch made a couple of plays out there today,

438
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 4: which he continues to do. And how they sort out

439
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 4: the wide receiver Corps is going to be fascinating to

440
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: me in terms of who gets playing time and when.

441
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 4: Like you've already said, Michael Wilson, you know where does

442
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 4: that leave some other people? I mean, if you have

443
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 4: Michael Wilson, and let's say you do decide to let

444
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 4: Greg Dortch do some things and we'll see what happens.

445
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you still have Rondelle Moore, you still have

446
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 4: Hollywood Brown, you still have Zach Pascal, Like, where where

447
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: do the other people fit? Well?

448
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: How many receivers? Are you even keeping six tops?

449
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: Six tops? But I keep wandering to see you're keeping

450
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 4: four tight Ends' that's the that's the thing is is

451
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: if you're if you want to use tight ends, two

452
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: tight ends a lot, and you're gonna have tight ends

453
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: on the roster, then usually you're you're only with five receivers.

454
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: But I don't, I don't, I don't know. It'll it'll

455
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: depend on and who's that six guy? And how much

456
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 4: special teams? I mean, that's the one good thing about

457
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 4: Zach Pascal is he's really good on special teams. So

458
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 4: that's a guy who could give you stuff offensively, but

459
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 4: also you can trust on special teams in a number

460
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: of ways. And I think that's going to be very important.

461
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 4: And then in terms of their roster makeup.

462
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: What else did I miss? Man? Because you're right, you

463
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: can only see so much in these joint practices. I

464
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: thought I had a game plan. I was out between

465
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 3: the two main fields in the end zone. I was

466
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: standing right between so I was literally going from one team,

467
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 3: you know, drill to.

468
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 4: This is that why you ignored fits because you had

469
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 4: too much other stuff to do.

470
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: I got word Fits was over there, Larry can wait? Okay,

471
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 3: maybe tomorrow Larry come on out for the second joint practice.

472
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: All right, I'm sure. I'm sure. Larry was like, geez,

473
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: where's Paul. No, not exactly, you.

474
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: Don't know that. Just had some very kind things to

475
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 4: say as far as you know exactly.

476
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 3: What's his name again, my silent reporter for fourteen years?

477
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: What pencil neck?

478
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 4: What?

479
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: What's his name? That's that's what. That's the response I

480
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 3: got out of Larry. Can we hold him accountable for

481
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 3: the heat? By the way, what is going on?

482
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 4: He actually explanation about that. He actually apologized that it

483
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: was so warm now that we came up here. I

484
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 4: was gonna, if I'm him, I'm a little disappointed. I

485
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: come up here for the summer to get out of

486
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 4: the pace, and then you walk right and this is.

487
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 5: The hottest day of the year so far where we are.

488
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 5: Is that correct?

489
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: If it gets buz, I'm being we're getting a headshake

490
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 4: from Tim Delaney.

491
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: If it gets above ninety eight degrees, it doesn't look

492
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: happy about it.

493
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 3: If it gets above ninety eight degrees, it will be

494
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: the hottest day of the year, because I saw graphic

495
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: yesterday that the coldest day of the year was in

496
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: February one, thirteen and it was ninety eight the day

497
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: the Cardinals arrived. So that's a temperature swing eleven degrees.

498
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 4: It was one hundred and thirteen and the coldest day.

499
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 3: It's thirteen low.

500
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 4: No wonder.

501
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 3: Danny looked at me, that's a goldest day, as I

502
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 3: get ahead of myself on that one. So yeah, we're

503
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 3: all dying coldest. By the way, Josh Wood said, because

504
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: I wrote it down, I'll take the one ten in

505
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 3: Arizona any day over.

506
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty human.

507
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 3: There's dry heat and there's a swampy heat.

508
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: I just think it's fun to just kind of see

509
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: the different energy of a joint practice and not just

510
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 2: going up against you know, Cardinals and Cardinals. And it's

511
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 2: even more fun when players are walking out practice or

512
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: when you're having those seven on seven, those one on

513
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: one drills, getting to see your offense, your receivers go

514
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: up against their former teammates, and linebacker Jordan Hicks and

515
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 2: cornerback Buyer Murphy who are both now with the Vikings,

516
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: and I know that after practice, Murphy, I'd asked him,

517
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 2: you know who the Cardinals receivers were biggest trash talkers

518
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: to you? And he said rondel More got a little

519
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: chippy in a good way. And he said Hollywood Brown too.

520
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 4: Well, we know how much you trash talk with Rondale,

521
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 4: so that doesn't surprise me.

522
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 3: Still mixing it up, Well, but what about the coordinators

523
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 3: going again? For example, a Nick rollis going against Kevin O'Connell. Right,

524
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: that's intriguing to me as well, because they seemingly had

525
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: most everything at their disposal. Now were they tackling to

526
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 3: the ground. No, And he heard a million times all

527
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: the coaches screaming stay up, stay up, stay off the ground.

528
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: Didn't stop Isaiah Simmons from drilling a couple of guys

529
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: to the turf. He went out there with a bit

530
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 3: of an edge. Anybody else, show hands, anybody else happened

531
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 3: to notice Isaiah Simmons because he was making people take

532
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: notice that he was knocking bodies around the field.

533
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think just after the last performance against the Chiefs,

534
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 2: I would expect that that's what you'd want to see

535
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: is come out and make a.

536
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: Splash in practice.

537
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: I mean I'll give you this prediction for day two.

538
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: If there's going to be a fight, it'll be started

539
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 3: by either Isaiah Simmons finishing some of those hits and

540
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: tackles and not keeping guys up, or maybe a Marquise

541
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 3: Hayes who got out. What about like a willhard Will Hernandez.

542
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll see.

543
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 4: I mean, given the weather and everything, and I could

544
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 4: see nerves being frayed by the time we get to

545
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 4: middle of the practice on Thursday, we'll see you.

546
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 5: We'll get on our sideline too.

547
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if I stand next to darn too

548
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 2: long in the heat.

549
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 3: The thing is that Vikings offense was so prolific a

550
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: year ago. It was their defense that was a complete liability.

551
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: That's why they fired the defensive coordinated brought in Brian Flores.

552
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: They were bottom three in both scoring defense and total

553
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: yards allowed. But that Vikings offense is really good, and

554
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: it got better in the offseason. So I think that

555
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: was a really good test for the Cardinals defense. Just

556
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 3: the scheme itself. You're in a brand new scheme. Buddha

557
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: talked about that.

558
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: I love the fact that they're going up against the

559
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: Vikings in a number of ways. I actually I think

560
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 4: it's really good. And a couple of guys mentioned this,

561
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 4: that they are doing it in this weather. You know,

562
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 4: I'll be curious to know, Like we've only got a

563
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: couple three weeks, and I haven't looked close enough, but

564
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's very possible you could have a hot

565
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 4: and human day in Washington that opening weekend. So I

566
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 4: like the fact that they're going through some of this stuff,

567
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 4: and I like the fact that there's two of these practices.

568
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 4: I know a couple of players were not thrilled with

569
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 4: maybe how some of this how it played out on

570
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 4: the first day, So I like the fact that they're

571
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 4: going to get a second chance to do this.

572
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: Honestly, I think Josh Woods was talking to the team

573
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 3: as a former team captain of the Lions when he

574
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: told us afterwards, he told the media and I quote,

575
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 3: we let the weather dictate how we were attacking our work. Said,

576
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: we're going to see the film tonight and see how

577
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,239
Speaker 3: our effort can be better maximized was his quote. And

578
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 3: you know how guys talk through the media, I think

579
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: that was Josh Woods honestly sending a message to the

580
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 3: rest of his teammate, especially the younger guys saying, you

581
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: know what, it can be better. Let's see if you

582
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: can make a better day too, because the heat is

583
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 3: going to be back.

584
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: Buddha said that the effort was if he he didn't

585
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 4: use if he he made a sound which I can't

586
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 4: really repeat here.

587
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 3: But he did use the F word fatigue.

588
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: Yeah he did, he did. I mean again, you're coming here.

589
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: It's a long plane flight. You get into this the weather.

590
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 4: I mean, that doesn't excuse it, but it's you'd rather

591
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 4: do it in a practice than a game, I suppose.

592
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 3: And to your point, Aarin, you did three full practices

593
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: in the Arizona heat, follow by two joint practices, and

594
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: the heat and humidity record heat and humidity for Minnesota.

595
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: You are regular season ready when it comes to the

596
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: conditions for a team that primarily in recent past has

597
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: trained only at State Farm Stadium and the climate control.

598
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: This team is going to be ready for Washington and

599
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: then hopefully I have the mental fortitude for whether or

600
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: else you're gonna get it in terms of weather, because

601
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: guess what, you have three potential cold weather games in

602
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: December and January.

603
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 5: Or lower right, Why are you saying potential funny how.

604
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 4: Because he's already worried about it.

605
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 3: I'm hoping for the best, Danny. Okay, I'm hoping for as.

606
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 5: A reporter Philly and Chicago and Pittsburgh.

607
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: I lived two years in Chicago. There could be a

608
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: rogue sixty degree day in December, believe.

609
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 4: Me, an happen, or or or it could be really

610
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: cold and windy and rainy like the last time we

611
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 4: were there.

612
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: Yes, it's good. Thank you, Darren, Thank you thereby illustrating

613
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: glass half full, glass half empty right over there.

614
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 4: Look, I I've never dan, I've never said I was

615
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 4: anything but glass half.

616
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: There's there's another word that's been used recently. Uncomfortable.

617
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. I noticed that.

618
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: Keanty Ingram brought that up when asked about Okay, where

619
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: do you think you stand as RB two after I

620
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: had a heck of a performance against Kansas City and

621
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: he paused, he said, uncomfortable. Guys don't know. Zach Pascal said,

622
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: you know what, that's a good thing, guys being uncomfortable,

623
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: Guys coming in and realizing, you know what, you can

624
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: count the made men, the absolutes on this roster on

625
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: two hands. Beyond that, where exactly do I fit do

626
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 3: the new decision makers consider me the future, which in

627
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: some cases could be good if it's between you and

628
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: a veteran and you're the young guy and you have

629
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: upside guess what I think the future is now? Your

630
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: time to play will be now. But if you're a

631
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: bit of an older guy who can be counted on

632
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 3: for that experience, and you had relied upon the shall

633
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: we say, the equity and the relationship with the previous

634
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: coaching staff that no longer.

635
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: Exists, sounds like it fits pretty well with what we

636
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: hear about the culture that John Dean Gannon is really

637
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: trying to implement a team over me right, not wanting

638
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: to have those egos of making people earn their starting roles,

639
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: even if you were here with the previous coaching staff,

640
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: even if you were a starter with the previous coaching staff,

641
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: making making these players earn their spot on this roster,

642
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: earn a starting role. I think Antonio Hamilton is a

643
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 2: great example of that. This time last year, before he

644
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: had the burn incident with his feet that kept him

645
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: out a couple of games. I mean in training camp

646
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: he was he was one of your starting quarterbacks, and

647
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: now he's getting third team reps at the highest and

648
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: that's just now with the different players you have, with

649
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: the different coaches and philosophy and what they.

650
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 5: Want to see.

651
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it makes sense to me that there is

652
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: such true competition that the players would feel uncomfortable, because

653
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: I think that's what this coaching staff really wants. I

654
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: don't think they want anybody feeling comfortable right now.

655
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 4: I keep thinking to myself, if one of us tweeted

656
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 4: out that quote, would not that JG is on Twitter

657
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 4: or x or whatever we're calling it these days, but

658
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 4: if he saw something like that, he'd want to print

659
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 4: out and put on his wall. If he has players

660
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 4: talking about how uncomfortable it is right now, I don't

661
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: think as a coach, you would want anything. I think

662
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 4: that's it's as good as it gets right there, right at.

663
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: Least leading up to the final fifty three.

664
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

665
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 3: Right.

666
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 4: Even Zach Pascal when you brought it up today, he said,

667
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 4: we're gonna be uncomfortable all season, and we're gonna have

668
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 4: uncomfortable situations. And look, there's a very real possibility that

669
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 4: there are gonna be a lot of uncomfortable situations for

670
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 4: this team this year. Is they go through some growing

671
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 4: pains and they try and reset the roster. So guys

672
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: better be ready for that and better be able to

673
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 4: embrace all that because I think I don't think it's

674
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 4: been announced, but I think that is a foundational tenant

675
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 4: of what Mani asin Fort and JG. Jonathan Ganna want

676
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 4: to do around here.

677
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: Well, if you're the back not around.

678
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 4: Here, I guess we're in Minnesota right now.

679
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 3: But the back end of the fifty three. There's no

680
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: question they're going to turn the back end of this

681
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: roster the entire length of this season. They're gonna have

682
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: weekly tryouts with guys who released from other teams, and

683
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: if there's any prospect of bringing in someone who's more

684
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: talented than someone else at the back end of the

685
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 3: depth chart, yeah, I think there will be blood.

686
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 4: I would argue, though, the difference is because I do

687
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: feel like the Cardinals have done that over the past

688
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 4: few years, to varying degrees depending on the year. But

689
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 4: I feel like that bar when you say the back end,

690
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: I think that bar is a lot higher on the roster,

691
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 4: a lot. There's a lot more numbers that include that.

692
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 4: I mean, this team is going to have the third

693
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 4: waiver claim through the fourth game of the regular season,

694
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 4: which means anybody getting cut not only in final cuts,

695
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: but period for those that first month might be out

696
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 4: there that stuff could happen. And beyond all that, think

697
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 4: how many guys on this team that potentially could make

698
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 4: this team that are gonna be free agents after the

699
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: season anyways. So you might buy yourself time right now,

700
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: but you're still going to have to be in a

701
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 4: place where you've really convinced them by the end of

702
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 4: the season that it's worth going forward because of all

703
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 4: the draft picks that they've compiled and the clearly the

704
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 4: free agents that eventually they're gonna want to sign in

705
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 4: certain areas, Like, you might just be buying yourself a

706
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: year at this point because of where this team might

707
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 4: be going.

708
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we debate who's the third running back. If

709
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 3: it's James counter cant Ingram in that order, that third

710
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: running back might come via waiver claim by the end

711
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: of the month to another team.

712
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: But you're already locking in Ingram.

713
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 3: I'm locking in Ingram based on what I saw. No question,

714
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 3: had they seen a lot in camp leading up to

715
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 3: that game. No, So I think he's a bit of

716
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 3: an unknown to a lot of the coaches, but the

717
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 3: holdover coaches saw enough I think last year, combined with

718
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 3: what you saw in that game, that's a classic case

719
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 3: of you come out and look, you you needed to

720
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 3: take advantage of that moment. You can work the entire offseason. Yeah,

721
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 3: the whole two weeks, first two weeks of camp count

722
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 3: Ingram was nicked up whatever it was, and then that

723
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: was his chance. If he hadn't excelled in in that moment,

724
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, his future would probably be elsewhere. But

725
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: he did. He sees that moment in that touchdown run,

726
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 3: third and goal from the five, that was impressive. Broke

727
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: multiple tackles, he broke arm tackles all night, and we've

728
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 3: seen him catch the ball very well. He's big enough

729
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: to be reliable in pass protection. So right now I

730
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 3: think he's RB two. As for the third running back,

731
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: there's a distinct possibility that's coming from another team.

732
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: I don't think that's wrong. I mean, this team had

733
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 5: signed Marlon Mack when.

734
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: You had still County Ingram, James Connor, Amaro de Mercado,

735
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: Corey Clement. So that's the only thing that's changed is

736
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: now Mac is done for the year. With that Achilles

737
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 2: injury that you know he unfortunately suffered what four days

738
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: after being signed.

739
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 5: So I do think those.

740
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: Are real possibilities you bring in an outside running back

741
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 2: because the running back you brought in is not going

742
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: to be able to contribute the way you had planned on.

743
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: Him being able to swing tackle. Josh Shones against Kelvin Beacham.

744
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 2: That's really interesting to me that that com petition battle.

745
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 2: So today, from what I saw again moving field to field,

746
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: unless you guys saw differently, since Humphreys was not out

747
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: at practice Wednesday, it looked like Calvin Beacham was getting

748
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: a lot of those reps at left tackle with the Ones,

749
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 2: Which is interesting because when DJ Humphries came out of

750
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: the second preseason game, which was the first he played,

751
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: it was Josh Jones who went in at left tackle.

752
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: So again another position where I truly believe when Gannon

753
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: says there is a competition going on, it really does

754
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 2: seem like there is a competition going on. Is there

755
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 2: a chance that both Beacham and Jones are on this

756
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: roster Week one?

757
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 5: I think it's a possibility.

758
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 2: I am equally as convinced that that's not the case.

759
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: That you find hopefully a trade partner and somebody who

760
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: needs a tackle and maybe their interest in in one

761
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: of those two.

762
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 5: But I'm not sure. Maybe again with these cuts, maybe.

763
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 2: With all the coaches that are now here on the

764
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: staff that weren't here last year, maybe there's somebody else

765
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 2: they have their eye on.

766
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 3: That whole twenty twenty draft class. We pointed to it

767
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 3: back in June, and look at it again. Isaiah Simmons,

768
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 3: Josh Jones, now Lucky Fotu has been running first team

769
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 3: Rashard Lawrence, who I thought flashed, especially in the O

770
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: line D line drills. That's where I was focused in

771
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: the first joint practice. That's why I missed some of

772
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 3: the one on ones with the receivers and dbs. I

773
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 3: was looking at the O line, D line or Rashard

774
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: Lawrence made a couple of Vikings offensive linemen look really bad,

775
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 3: and so I think that's key for him. I don't

776
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 3: know how he graded out in the two preseason games,

777
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: but I think his future obviously is in doubt leading

778
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 3: up to the final fifty three and then the back

779
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 3: end of the safety room beyond Jalen Thompson and Buddha

780
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 3: Baker where exactly are the Cardinals and what if what

781
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: if someone is there on the waiver wire at the

782
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: end of the final fifty three cuts around the league

783
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 3: and it's been then the cornerback room depending on where

784
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 3: Marco Wilson is. So I think and if there's one

785
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 3: area that Jonathan Gannon knows exactly what he wants, it's

786
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 3: in the defensive backfield's.

787
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: That's so an interesting thought. If we don't know what

788
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: Marco Wilson is dealing with. We know that he left

789
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: the game as a Dennis Kardak and they both came

790
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 2: back on the sideline that Week two preseason game against

791
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, but neither of them practiced on Wednesday's joint practice.

792
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 2: So the thought of not having Marco Wilson week one

793
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 2: and having to start with what it would seem like,

794
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: Christian Matthew and Kee Trew Clark.

795
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 5: Would be an interesting one.

796
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 4: Did you know that Terry McLaurin might not play though,

797
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 4: because of turf toe, So they've got that going for him.

798
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 3: I did see that, Yes, they did in the preseason game. Yeah,

799
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 3: why would Terry McLaurin be playing the entire first half

800
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: of that preseason.

801
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 4: Because the Commanders said they didn't care about breaking the streak,

802
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 4: but they did care about breaking the strets.

803
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 3: They did.

804
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 4: Dame Baltimore winning streak.

805
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: It's deln twenty four preseason games in a row, going

806
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: back to twenty fifteen, and John Harball was a little

807
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 3: salty about that.

808
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 4: You know, I heard him talking about that, and I mean, like,

809
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 4: you'll say, it doesn't mean anything, and I'm like, nobody

810
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 4: ever said preseason doesn't mean anything. We said the wins

811
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 4: and losses don't mean anything. And there's a difference, Yes, yes,

812
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 4: there is.

813
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I think this comes all the way

814
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: full circle to the following question. There are two sorts

815
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 3: of people in this world, those who have had a

816
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 3: full body cramp and those who have not.

817
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 5: I'm really glad that I'm on the not me.

818
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 3: Too, Zach Pascal said. When asked afterwards, he said, oh no, no,

819
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 3: I've had one before. He said, I'm on the verge

820
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 3: of yet another one at this moment, not quite yet,

821
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: but I have had a full body cramp before and

822
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 3: had to go to the er.

823
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: You think part of that was he just didn't want

824
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 2: to talk to the media that long in the heat,

825
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: still in his pads.

826
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 3: Paul, maybe maybe I don't know, try to.

827
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 5: Make us feel bad.

828
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 3: What would that be like? By the way, you know,

829
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 3: I don't want to envisia. I don't want to actually

830
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: speak that into existence.

831
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 4: So you've always got tomorrow watching practice in the heat.

832
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 3: It's true.

833
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 5: Just wear that visor again.

834
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a few ted Lasso comments, says you know, Danny,

835
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: was was it?

836
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 5: Was it real cooling?

837
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: The visor? The visor and the and the mustache. Look, yeah, no,

838
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: it's not. The mustache is going to be cut and

839
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: it will not be claimed via waivers. Put it that way.

840
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: There's just no chance that is happening, all right, anything.

841
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 4: Wait, you're not keeping the mustache.

842
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 3: Through this, No, no, no, after.

843
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: The regular season, you should keep the mustache as long

844
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 2: as the Cardinals win the first time through.

845
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 4: No shave November.

846
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 3: It's it's not winning behavior to use a there's no.

847
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 4: Added value to your mustache.

848
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: Mustache not bringing value to anything. You're absolutely right on

849
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 3: that front. In fact, you know, see that's Darren right there.

850
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 3: It's ending on a glass half empty point, the mustache.

851
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: So so, Danny, do you have anything that would be

852
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 3: glass half full? Anything positive you'd like to end on.

853
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 5: I like the mustache and the Paul I really did.

854
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think he's buying it.

855
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: Well, maybe I'll use the mustache to detract from the

856
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 3: frizzy hair from the humidity as I rock the David

857
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 3: Letterman look from nineteen eighty five. Google that up.

858
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: What should we do in our free time out here

859
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: Mall of America? If anyone's listening and you have good recommendations.

860
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 5: I've never been out there.

861
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 4: No, I was thinking about going out there. When when's

862
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 4: our free time? Exactly?

863
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 5: Well, there's no practice Friday. I know we're not going

864
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:27,479
Speaker 5: to have all Friday all.

865
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 4: I was going to say right in the middle of

866
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: the day.

867
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 3: Maybe it's funny how you have the same mentality here

868
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 3: that you do in Arizona in August. Okay, what can

869
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 3: we do? This air conditioned? That's that's really well.

870
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 4: Going to the biggest mall in America, I would think

871
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 4: would be a good answer.

872
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 3: You'll get your steps in.

873
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 4: I might do that bus over to the new hotel

874
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 4: and then Huber to the mall.

875
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 3: Just bring Dave Pash with you. Okay, you'll have the

876
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 3: unlimited funds to go ahead and sustain that shopping spree.

877
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 3: That'll do it. For this edition, I wish I had

878
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: something more positive to say.

879
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 4: Darren, or or interesting the.

880
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 3: Friday day off. The Friday day off was I tried

881
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: to end on the full body cramp.

882
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 4: You did?

883
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 3: I try?

884
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 4: Although that's the rail, that's that's pretty glass half empty.

885
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 4: Let's talk about cramping up completely.

886
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I know what it was the other guy. I

887
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 3: don't want to leave.

888
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, you left everybody.

889
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 3: The other player that should play three quarters?

890
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 5: Are you going to say, as Ama Simmons?

891
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 4: Ye?

892
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 5: Wow, I know you so well.

893
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 3: Fall Do you agree or disagree? Agreer disagree? He should

894
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 3: play a lot in this final preseason game.

895
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 4: I agree, but I don't think you will.

896
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm on that same sentiment.

897
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:41,439
Speaker 4: Kay.

898
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 3: That'll do it for this edition at Cargon's Underground, brought

899
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: to you by Pacific Office Automation. As I defer the

900
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: last word to Danny and Darren
