1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: So the fifteen of the ten mers gonna score touchdown.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Cardinals Red Sea Report. Slim to the

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: ground by Buda Baker like a torpedo, he came flying

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: into the backfield one hand to catch in a touchdown

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals Red Sea Report is brought to

Speaker 1: Slash podcast. Here we go. This is this caught by

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Kurt kat the twenty at the ten touchdown. Oh baby field.

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: Here's Craig Briolou, Mike Jarecki and three time Pro bowler

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Vandenbosch. Gentlemen, we've made it. Welcome to week one.

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: September twelfth is the dates. The Titans are the opponents.

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee is the location, and right off the top, we

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: have to address the elephant in the room here, MJ.

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: And that is we need to question the allegiance of

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: our co host Kyle Vanenbosch, who spent a considerable amount

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: of time in Tennessee plane for the Titans. In fact,

17
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, your three Pro Bowl selections were

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: with with the Titans. So I have to ask have

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: to worry about you this week. No, not this week,

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: it's this week. It's all Cardinals. I mean you can

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: judge my allegiance by what my closet looks like. And

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: I got about probably a dozen Cardinals shirts and I

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: still only have one Titans. So yeah, that's that's where

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: my allegiance is right now. But I mean on other weeks,

25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: I'll stay interesting, all right, So that is clear, So

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: we can just focus on how to beat the Tennessee Titans.

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: We'll get into that a little bit later on in

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: the show, because I think it is not only just

29
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a first test, but it is a great challenge facing

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one Arason of Cardinals. But big picture

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: it here because we now know MJ who The twenty

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: twenty one Arizona Cardinals are fifty three players, twenty five

33
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: on offense, twenty five on defense, and three special teamers.

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: It was ninety men entering State Farm Stadium for training camp.

35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Fifty three is what we are left with. And I

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: think we're all in agreement here that the team in

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: the offseason upgraded a lot of different positions. Now, how

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: long is it going to take to come together as

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: an unit? Clearly on offense, you're gonna have a couple

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: of new starters on the offensive line, you got a

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: new wide out, a couple of new wideouts, and then

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: defensively adding J. J. Watt. You know, you look at it,

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: you know some of the other positions drafting a guy

44
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: like Xavin Collins and Isaiah Simmons. So I'm curious to

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: see which side of the ball we'll have to carry

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: this football team for the first couple of weeks of

47
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: the season. And that is something that I can see

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: where it's the offense, and I can see where it's

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: the defense, especially Kyle, because you look at that defense

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: and it's the third year for defensivecording to advance Joseph,

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: and yes, I understand it's the third year for the

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: offense as well, but it just seems that defensively, maybe

53
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: early on, I don't do you buy in that maybe

54
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: there is one side of the ball that is ahead

55
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: of the other early in a season. Yeah, I mean,

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, typical what people usually say is the defense

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: is ahead. But it's really hard to tell. I mean,

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: every year in training camp, you have all these questions,

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: and there's things you know, there's things you think you know,

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: and then there's things you have no idea about, and

61
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: I feel like that last category is the biggest. Based

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: on this preseason, you know, it's it's time to see

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: and that's what's exciting about this week. You you make

64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: a lot of guesses about what this team's gonna look

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: like based on a practice performance or how they looked

66
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: in a preseason game, but you really have no idea,

67
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: and this will be a good test. I mean it's,

68
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, on paper, this matchup. I think a lot

69
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: of people who aren't Cardinals fans, who aren't Titans fans,

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: are gonna be tuned in to see what this game

71
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: looks like and what this matchup looks like. I think

72
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: there might be more questions on the defensive side of

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: the ball. The expectations, though, are higher offensively with Cliff Kingsbury,

74
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and a number of weapons that he has.

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: Talking about Murray, whether it's handing the ball off or

76
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: throwing to a wide receiver or a tight end, Kingsbury

77
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: early this week talked about the expectations on what he

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: believes this offense might look like. I felt good about

79
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: it since you know, training camp. I like the way

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: they've worked and it's you know, Ronnie Hudson's been a

81
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: big piece of that. I think brings a lot of

82
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: poison maturity and he's tough inside there. And then some

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: of those weapons that we've added. It can be a

84
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: good group. We gotta go exec but they work hard

85
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: and it's a no nonsense type unit. I think the

86
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: biggest edition offensively as far as an offensive skill sets

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: is AJ Green m J. And you look at what

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: he's accomplished over his career, and then of course what

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: did not happen last year with the Cincinnati Bengals, and

90
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: can he regain some of that explosiveness and productivity that

91
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: he had early in his career and a new pair

92
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: them with the DeAndre Hopkins. And if you give Kyler

93
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: Murray enough time in the pocket to throw to find

94
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: those ride receivers, then yes, this offense should be able

95
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: to move the ball up and down. Yeah. You know,

96
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was really the first one to say people

97
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: are falling asleep or you know, sleeping on Aj Green.

98
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: And he got a chance to work out with him

99
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: in daw and then I think it carried over to

100
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: training camp, and you know, I was told recently that

101
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 1: he's fully healthy. He's been dealing with toe foot ankle

102
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: injuries the last couple of years, playing on turf, obviously

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: playing in cold weather. So he's hitting the reset button.

104
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: But it wasn't a fluke what he did in training camp.

105
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: He was getting separation, he was catching the ball, and

106
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: he's going to be a big part of this offense. Well,

107
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: you heard Kingsbury reference Rodney Hudson, and I think that

108
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: might be the best edition, whether it's in free agency

109
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: and acquisition or a draft pick Kyle that this team

110
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: made in the offseason, just because of what he has

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: accomplished in his career and now being the one, the

112
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: only player who will touch the football every single snap.

113
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: Now only get his four linemates ready, but also looking

114
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: at what the defense is going to do to get

115
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: the offense ready to attack. Yeah, I mean, you can

116
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: add a lot of skill players to a team, but

117
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: I believe if you want to be a consistent team

118
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: week in week out, you build from the inside out

119
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: and it all starts with the center. You got to

120
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: have a good center and that can recognize defenses and

121
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: recognize Blitzes can get you in the right protections can

122
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: get you in the right blocking schemes and not only that,

123
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 1: get the job done himself. And that is something Rodney

124
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: Huntson has done every single year throughout his career. And

125
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: again when I talk about consistency, his availability, and the

126
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: way he goes out there every Sunday and gets the

127
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: job done at a high level. You know, I think

128
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: you know we've talked about before. I think this offensive

129
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: line unit is definitely gonna be one of the strengths

130
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: of this team. Well, let's go back to the offseason.

131
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Once the Cardinals rolled up their sleeves, they made some

132
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: adjustments to the coaching staff. They gave the title to

133
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: a running game coordinator, Sean Cooler, quarterbacks coach Cam Turner,

134
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: and at this point, you know, Kingsbury's more of a

135
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: head coach. But to me, they were a top ten

136
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: rushing offense last year. They tailed off towards the end

137
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: of the season, and I think they're going to be

138
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: more committed with James Connor and Chase Edmons, depending on

139
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: where Eno and Jonathan Ward are. And then we need

140
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: to see Kyler Murray makes some throws down the field.

141
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: So I think offensively they're a better team. In the

142
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: offensive line should better than a year ago, still don't

143
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: know who is going to be the starting right guard?

144
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: Is it Josh Jones who saw considerable time with that

145
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: first team offense in training camp because Justin Murray and

146
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Brian Winters weren't healthy. They are now back practicing, So

147
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: which guy do you go with? And of course the

148
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: other two become great backups in the event that you

149
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: need that. Defensively, though, a lot of additions have been

150
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: made in the biggest one being JJ Watt, But there

151
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: are question marks. How does this team gel together from

152
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: a defensive standpoint, whether it's the defensive line, the linebackers

153
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: with two young inside linebackers and a secondary that has

154
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks considering that you're going in

155
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: with one less corner than you thought because of Malcolm

156
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: Butler on the reserve retired list, So I think more

157
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: questions Kyle. For me anyway, with respects to the defense,

158
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: I like how it looks on paper, but a little

159
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: bit more question marks as far as how things are

160
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: going to look in real time. Yeah. Absolutely. You know,

161
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: it's a good combination of established veterans, players who've been

162
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: to a lot of Pro Bowls, players who are leaders,

163
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: and then you know, young players, young players that are

164
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: up and coming, young players that have shown it, especially

165
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: through this preseason, that they can play at a high level. So,

166
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: like you said, it just comes down to how well

167
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: do they execute, how well do they adjust throughout a game,

168
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: and really, you know, like you said, it all works together.

169
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Is it going to be the pass rush that really

170
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: helps out the defensive backs or the defensive backs going

171
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: to be really good at coverage to help out the

172
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: pass rush. And these are things you don't know until

173
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: you get those those live bullets of week one and

174
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: you go against a quality opponent. You know, here were

175
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: nine ten minutes into the show, we haven't even mentioned

176
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones or Buddha Baker. And to me, if you

177
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: get a healthy Chandler Jones and he came in in shape,

178
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: he's motivated, obviously playing for a contract. And Buddha Baker,

179
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't even think he reached his peak. He's scratching

180
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: the surface. I believe he'll become the face of the

181
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: defense regardless of the position he plays. So you know,

182
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: they got playmakers. Now it's a matter of what happens

183
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: with that front seven. Can they get pressure, take the

184
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: quarterback off his spot and help out that secondary at

185
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: least the first couple of weeks till they kind of

186
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: figure it out. And I think that's going to be

187
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: key more than Zavian Collins handling being the mic backer.

188
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: But if you can get consistent pressure on a quarterback,

189
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you're not asking a young

190
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson to do a lot Robert Offord who haven't

191
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: seen on the field in two seasons, and of course

192
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Bido Murphy continues to impress. But if you have consistent

193
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback or the ball carrier, then all

194
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's you don't need you know, one

195
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: A and one B as far as in the back

196
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: end with the respects of the cornerback position. And that's

197
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: the way I see it. I mean, and you know, well,

198
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: obviously breakdown, you know the different elements of this game.

199
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: But I do like the Cardinals on paper when it

200
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: comes to that defensive rotation. Clearly you like to have

201
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips out there. But if Zach Allen, Corey Peters

202
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: and JJ Water your starters, now all of a sudden

203
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: you got Shard Lawrence and Lucky Foe too, And we'll

204
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: see if Michael Dogbi's active, But again I don't know

205
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: how much you know. JJ Watt probably is. Kyle pointed

206
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: out a couple of weeks ago, maybe the every third

207
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: fourth possession you take him out, clearly you want him

208
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: to be fresh in the fourth quarter. It is a

209
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: seventeen game season over eighteen weeks, and obviously the goal

210
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: for every team is to play into January. In fact,

211
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: maybe even into February as well. Under Michael Bidwell recently

212
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: on the Day Hash podcast laid out what his goals

213
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: are for this upcoming season. Well, I think every year

214
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: the goal is to win the division and then to

215
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: stay hot through January and get yourself to the Super Bowl.

216
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: And we've done that once before we came shorten twenty fifteen.

217
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: But I feel like we've really strengthened that defense, we've

218
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: strengthened the offense, and a lot of it is about

219
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: staying healthy, making sure we manage ourselves through the pandemic

220
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: because we're still in it. We know they're going to

221
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: be additional infections this year, but again we'll be testing

222
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: and isolating and we've got everybody vaccinated. Only one players

223
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: not vaccinated with us. But I think We've got a

224
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: really good plan going forward. Now we got to go

225
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: out and execute and stay healthy. There is no question

226
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Kyle that this team offensively, defensively, and special teams on

227
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: paper is much improved. But to Michael's points, the unknown

228
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: in all of this, for every single team across the

229
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: league COVID nineteen, how do you deal with it? One,

230
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: you'd be vaccinated, but even then guys are testing positive

231
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: and the unknown of what happens perhaps on a positive

232
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: test on a Saturday or a Sunday, and what do

233
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: we say? The best ability is availability, but I might

234
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: might not be injuries this season, it might be something

235
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: else that you know, you do everything right and you

236
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: still might test positive. Yeah, you know, in a normal season,

237
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: it really comes down to crossing your fingers and hoping

238
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: you get lucky and stay healthy. And then you have

239
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: a season like this where you can do everything right,

240
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: you can stay healthy, and you know, guys either test

241
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: positive or COVID or have been exposed to somebody who

242
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: has COVID. You know, That's where I think it's important

243
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: that guys that we have on the practice squad, the

244
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: guys who are known commodities for the most part, guys

245
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: that have been in the system, guys that showed playmaking

246
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: ability in this preseason that when you lose a guy

247
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: or two unexpectedly, especially late in a week, you can

248
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: plug and play and put them in immediately and they

249
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: can make an impact and there's not a huge drop off.

250
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you don't want to lose starters, but

251
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: the depth of this team, it's not just the starters

252
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: on paper that's impressive. I think you know, all the

253
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: way to fifty three and even into the practice squad

254
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: of this team has great depth and guys that have

255
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: played in this system and guys that can't step in

256
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: and help you immediately. I couldn't agree more with Michael

257
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to the division. Last year they get

258
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: off to a two and oz start and they finished

259
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: two and four. I mean, you'd like to go three

260
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: and three, four and two, and then you got to

261
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: win conference games. Last year, you look at the Detroit

262
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: and Carolina game that can back to haunt them late

263
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: in the season. Third Gang, make sure you subscribe to

Speaker 1: twelfth in Tennessee five thirty am. The pregame coverage begins

271
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. One of the

272
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: new faces, one of the players were most excited to see.

273
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: We'll talk about him next. That him being Rondel Moore.

274
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: This is the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, Edmondson Motion. Now

275
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: Here he comes on an end a round, Rondale Moore

276
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: as he comes across the twenty with a head of

277
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: steam making men miss, and you're reminded of that comment

278
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: by Drew Grison, the director of player Personnel, where he says,

279
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: this kid doesn't just move, he teleports. You see a

280
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: fearlessness too. That's the thing that I was looking for.

281
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: You see him hit that gear and he's not worried

282
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: about getting hit or where he's gonna make his next cut,

283
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: is going one hundred miles an hour trying to get

284
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: this ball man zone. I didn't know Rondell before, you

285
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: know he got here, but you know, I knew he wasn't,

286
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, no moment it was really too big for him.

287
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: I knew he was gonna be fine. And he made

288
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: a couple of players you don't, got the ball a

289
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: couple of times, and it looked, you know, it looked

290
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: easy for him. You know, I think for a lot

291
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: of guys, a rookies, there's always it's gonna be a

292
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: wall at some point, you know, where he gets hard,

293
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: some earlier later than others. But I think he'll be fine.

294
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: Looks very, very comfortable on an NFL field, and that

295
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: is a great compliment to rondel Moore. You heard the

296
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: voice of Kyler Murray before that, Paul Calvc and Drew

297
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Stanton on the preseason broadcast. I believe it was three

298
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: touches for rondel Moore in the first quarter, four total

299
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: touches against the Dallas Cowboys, and he was used in

300
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: a number of different ways. Then later on against the

301
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, we saw him on special teams, returning kicks,

302
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: returning punts. MG. I think rondel Moore can be a

303
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: jack of all trades kind of thing as far as

304
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: you insert him offensively. Special teams and maybe a little

305
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: combination of both. Right away, I'm going to talk about

306
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: the person first of all, for his demeanor. I mean,

307
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: the maturity in his mental focus reminds me of a

308
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: young and Quam Bolda. Not comparing obviously, he's a lot

309
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: faster and Quan was a little bit thicker, but just

310
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: the way they approached training camp as rookies. There's no

311
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: cliches from Rondel Moore, and I know the Cardinals were

312
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: thrilled that he was on the board and just watching

313
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: him in training camp. They couldn't cover it initially. And

314
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, as Kyler said, he's going to hit the

315
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: wall at some point, but he can really change this

316
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: offense just having him on the field. And you know,

317
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: I really believe it's the first time that Cliff can

318
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: roll out four or five wide receivers depending on Andy Isabella,

319
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: and he's going to do so much in the return game,

320
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: and that was a priority going into the offseason. Yes,

321
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: teams may not start kicking to him eventually, but or

322
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: they'll kick it shorter. But if you can get to

323
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: the thirty thirty five yard line all of a sudden,

324
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen yards you're at midfield and that should

325
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: change fuel position. So I'm looking forward to see him

326
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver, but also in the return game,

327
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: and that's Kyle. Where I want to see rondel Moore

328
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: first and foremost is returning kicks, whether that's kickoffs or punts,

329
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: because it has been an area of the last several

330
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: seasons it just hasn't been up to par. Jeff Rogers

331
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: does a great job as special teams coordinator as far

332
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: as the coverage units are concerned, but he would even

333
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: say that he would like to see better punt returns,

334
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: better kickoff returns, just to put that offense in better

335
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: field position. I do think, especially at home, it can

336
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: really elevate the crowd and elevate everyone else. So for me,

337
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: it's special teams where I think rondel Moore might have

338
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: a more immediate impact. Yeah, that's the hidden yardage, right.

339
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: You know, we want to talk about this offensive uniton

340
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: defensive hunan, but if you can you know, steal fifty

341
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: yards on special teams either, you know, by having good

342
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: coverage on both punt and kickoff, but having that returner

343
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: that can make the first person miss and run through

344
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: the second guy and get an extra five yards. And

345
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: that's that's the type of athlete he is. You know,

346
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: he's got this, he's got the quickness, but he's got

347
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: so much power in his lower body that he's going

348
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: to be hard to bring down in the open field.

349
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: And you know that's if we can as a team

350
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: get that hidden yards it you know it'll win you

351
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: two or three extra games throughout the season by getting

352
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: those yards on special teams. Well, you look last season,

353
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals ranked twenty ninth in yards per punt return,

354
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: tied for sixteenth in yards per kick return. And then

355
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: of course you brought it MJ. The offensive ability of

356
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: rondel Moore as a slot receiver, whether he's the number

357
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: three receiver or the number four receiver, and a four

358
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: receiver set and a good compliment when you have two

359
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: really big targets in DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Green on

360
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: the outside and in Christian Kirk and or rondel Moore

361
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: on the inside. It does allow Kyler Murray, if given

362
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: time to scan the field, a number of different options

363
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: in which to the football too. Yeah, and in Christian Kirk,

364
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: I know he can play on the inside and outside,

365
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: but he's playing his natural position, which is the h

366
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit different than rondel Moore. And

367
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: there's really no comparisons with rondel Moore and Andy Usabella.

368
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: Obviously they both have speed, and I'm curious to see

369
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: how they're gonna use Hopkins. Last year he lined up

370
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: eighty two percent of the time on the left side.

371
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: When the offense got kind of bogged down, they started

372
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: moving around a little bit. Initially they were throwing that

373
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: bubble screen. He was breaking tackles, burning down the sideline.

374
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: So I hope to see them flip sides at times

375
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: between AJ Green and DeAndre Hopkins, and then of course

376
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: the other player in that wide receiver room, Andy Isabella,

377
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: what can he offer to this team as well? But

378
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: rondel Moore on what to expect here in year one.

379
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: He was asked earlier this week as far as if

380
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: he was anxious nervous about his first NFL action this week,

381
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm anxious. I think there's a difference. Nerves come from

382
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: being unprepared, So you know, I think I'm surrounded by

383
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: a great group of guys who've given me tons of knowledge.

384
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: I think my coaches did a great job of showing

385
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: the film and just show me different nuances while I'm

386
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: on the field to be comfortable, so anxious, excited, all

387
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: those and that MJ is what you said earlier as

388
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: far as the person, the no nonsense answers that he gives.

389
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: And Kyle, this was the first time that I had

390
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: heard anyone explain anxiousness versus nervousness. And nerves are the

391
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: product of not being prepared. And Rondel Moore is prepared

392
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: for a week one. Now what happens once you get

393
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: into the NFL, but he is going in prepared. Yeah,

394
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: there is a big difference. I mean, anxious means you

395
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: know what you're doing, you're confident in your ability, but

396
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: you're just excited to get out there. You know, you

397
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: want to get out there and get going. And demonstrated

398
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: on the field and he showed that. I mean he

399
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: looked even in the preseason game, which you know preseason

400
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: is not regular season, looks like he's been a part

401
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: of this offense for a long time. Looked comfortable, didn't

402
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: hesitate when he got the ball in his hands, was

403
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: looking to get up field and get the yards. So

404
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: and even you know used in like you said, he

405
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: was using different roles throughout the preseason, and at no

406
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: time did he look like he was nervous out there.

407
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: He's the type of athlete that puts in the work

408
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: both on the practice field, in the weight room, and

409
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: in the film room. And so you know, first game,

410
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: you are excited. You're not necessarily nervous, You're just excited

411
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: to get going. And I really think, you know, having

412
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: Sean Jefferson and a new wide receivers coach, former player

413
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: he played in the league, has two Super Bowls. I mean,

414
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: his son plays for the Rams. I think he's coming

415
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: here and done a nice job with some of these

416
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: younger receivers, maybe guys on the practice squad. But obviously

417
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk had a really good camp. Andy Isabella missed

418
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: two preseason games, but he had a really good camp.

419
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: And Hopkins practice more than he probably has in the

420
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: pass and AJ Green was really exceeded expectations. And now

421
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: we'll see when the regular season comes around. All right,

422
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: who else, whether it's a draft pick or a player

423
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: returning or a new face. And I know all everyone's

424
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: going to point to Zavian Collins as the inside linebacker.

425
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: We'll get into him a little bit later on here

426
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report. But Kylie, is there's

427
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: someone else that you're anxious to see, excited to see

428
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: play their first game here in twenty twenty one either

429
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Yeah, it's you know, since the

430
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: day they signed JJ Watt, I was excited to see

431
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: what he's going to bring to this defensive line, what

432
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: he's going to bring to this defense. Didn't get to

433
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of him, especially early in the camp.

434
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, this this unit can be a dominant unit.

435
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: You know, you've got some young players that are no

436
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: longer considered young players. They're they're becoming veterans. And you've

437
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: got Chandler Jones, And you know, you've got the talent

438
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: on this defensive front with the defensive lineman and the

439
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: outside linebackers to really take over games and dominate, especially

440
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: later in games, late in a half when they get

441
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: to just pin their ears back and get after the quarterback.

442
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see how that unit as a whole,

443
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: especially with the addition of JJ Watt, who with he

444
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: and Chandler Jones have been two of the most dominant

445
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: pass rushers in this league over the last decade. I'm

446
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: excited to see how they do, particularly on third down

447
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: and getting pressure on the quarterback. It would be nice

448
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: to see Chandler and JJ Watt lineup next to each

449
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: other and have Marcus Golden on the other side, or

450
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: is Aya Simmons rushing the passer. I'm looking forward to

451
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: a one two punch which Chase Simmons and James Conner.

452
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: I know this team wants to run the football, Kyler

453
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: wants to make throw more throws from inside the pocket,

454
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: but you gotta win at the line of scrimmage and

455
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: play action will go a long way if you get

456
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: the running game going and James Connor get a short

457
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: yardage guy. Again, They're not going to touch the ball

458
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty five times each game, but if they can get

459
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: the running game going, that will open up things on

460
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: the outside. Well. Another player on the offensive side that

461
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: might not get a lot of attention, a lot of targets,

462
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: but if healthy. What kind of Max Williams due to

463
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: this offense, especially when everyone is focused on the outside receivers.

464
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: What happens down the middle of the field. We've seen

465
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: it time end and time again. MJA. What teams do

466
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: with the tight end against the Cardinals how about we

467
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: flipped the script here in twenty twenty one. Well, I

468
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: mean you're right, if they're going eleven personnel, then who

469
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: you double and who you're rolling coverage over. You got

470
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: to stop the run first of all, and Kyler and

471
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: Max Williams have you know, down the seam and you're

472
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna take a big shot. And I think Dan Arnold

473
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: was the guy last year. Now Max Williams, but again

474
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: eleven personality. He's probably gonna block a little bit. But

475
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: if he releases, based on the weapons they have on

476
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: the outside in the backfield, he should be open. And

477
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: I think they have some little bit of a connection

478
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: in training camp throwing down the scene. Covering a tight

479
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: end Kyle, and that is something that I think the

480
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals did a much better job last season versus twenty nineteen.

481
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: But there are teams that are looking more and more

482
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: at the tight end. Maybe not as the safety valve

483
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: or the last option, but when everyone is focused on

484
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: the number one receiver and the number one running back,

485
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: sometimes you get that second player or the third guy

486
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: covering a tight end. And there's very few players defensively

487
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: that can hang with the tight end as far as

488
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: size and speed are concerned. Yeah, that's the matchup problem

489
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: that tight end presents. Right, if you have a talented

490
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: tight end, a tight end that could run, a tight

491
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: end that has good hands, you know, they're too big

492
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: and physical for most safeties. And then you know most

493
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: a lot of linebackers a hard time staying with the

494
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: tight end. So if you have that reliable tight end,

495
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: the tight end that runs good routes, can find the

496
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: open areas in the middle of the field, it's definitely

497
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: a weapon. And it's something I mean, like you said,

498
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: you can see now tight ends are. They're a premium

499
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: and free agency. A lot of teams are trying to

500
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: add those different maker type tight ends and you know,

501
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: particularly in this offense, like you said, it doesn't get

502
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: talked about a lot, but it's you know, they present

503
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: matchup problems for defenses. And the tight end is a

504
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: guy that's you know, gonna get opportunities, especially you know,

505
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: when the outside receivers are working down the field, there's

506
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: just a lot of space in the middle of the

507
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: field for a tight ends. He catch balls depending on

508
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: how many they address. I got to assume three. Demetrius

509
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: Harris is a guy that can catch the football. You

510
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: can line him as you can go twelve personnel and

511
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: then move him out because he's look he looks like

512
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, but he plays tight end. Number of

513

Speaker 1: different options for what head coach Cliff Kingsbury wants to

522
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: Second half action. Well, we'll talk about that cornerback position,

523
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest question mark defensively. Look into that next

526
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: over the middle of a short task put by Jones,

527
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: ball pops up into the air. Jones lost the ball.

528
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: It's really interesting. Man cover being played underneath Byron Murphy

529
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: going with Julio Jones and as We've seen Byron Murphy

530
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: doing David from time to time. He is physical on

531
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: his tackles, Jarred the big loose dude. Julio Jones is

532
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: a big cat and very drawing. I mean, that's a

533
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: that's a great play by Murphy. Flashback Byri Murphy's rookie

534
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: season twenty nineteen, thrown into the fire. Remember no Patrick Peterson,

535
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: no Robert Alford and oh, by the way, Murphy, you've

536
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: gotta cover Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons. And well,

537
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: now another opportunity for Byron Murphy to cover Julio Jones

538
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: as the Cardinals play at the Tennessee Titans this Sunday.

539
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back, It is the Cardinals Red Sea Report. Craig Riolu,

540
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki, and Kyle Vannibosh talking about that cornerback position

541
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: and specifically MJA talking about Murphy from his rookie season

542
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: now to year three. There is no question we have

543
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: seen his improvements and perhaps it was a blessing in

544
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: disguise getting thrown in right away his rookie season and

545
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: facing some of the top wide receivers in the game. Yeah.

546
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: I like his tenacity, I like how he's physical. I

547
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: like his competitiveness. He can clearly see he's made strides

548
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. In that game, Julio

549
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: is targeted nine times, eight catches, one hundred and eight yards.

550
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: Cardinals did win that game over the Falcons thirty four

551
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: thirty three. I want to say, so, you know, going

552
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: back to the offseason, you know we're talking about you know,

553
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: at the time Malcolm Butler coming in here and then

554
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: drafted Marco Wilson, and then you look at albur Robert

555
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: Alford and the first name being mentioned is Byron Murphy.

556
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: And that's how much they think about him. And on paper,

557
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: usually your number one corners playing on the outside, but

558
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: he also can play inside. Yeah, that versatility is key, Kyle.

559
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: And you look and sometimes it can go into two ways.

560
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: When players are handed the keys, if you will day one,

561
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: you can either excel you're ready for the moment, or

562
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: you can get lost and disappear. And Byron Murphy is

563
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: the former. And the fact that he has excelled and

564
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: become the number one cornerback on this team. Yeah, and

565
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: it's it's been talked about a lot um just the

566
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: jump he's made even from year two to year three,

567
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: and UM watching him in action, UM, the little action

568
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: he got in the in the preseason games. His ability

569
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: to cover, his ability to stick his foot in the

570
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: ground and drive on a play. UM. You know, we're

571
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: all familiar with how physical he is. And the question

572
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: was does he have the quickness and foot speed to

573
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: stay with some of these receivers and UM, you know,

574
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: particularly the Chiefs game, UM, he had he was he

575
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: was blanketing um with his coverage, and UM, you know

576
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: he's going to be tested because it's it's it's another

577
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: level this week with the size and speed and the

578
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: physicalness of the Titans receivers. UM. But I expect him

579
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: to hold up well in those matchups. I can think

580
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: of a couple of times last year where he had

581
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: a pass breakup and obviously held the Cardinals to get

582
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: a victory, including in Week one late in the fourth

583
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: quarter against the Niners. So yeah, he's probably gonna I mean,

584
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: who's gonna cover Julio? I mean, is it Robert Alford?

585
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: Is it is it Iron Murphy? I mean, I wouldn't

586
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: put the rookie on him. I think you can maybe

587
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: hide Marco Wilson inside. Even though we know slot receivers

588
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: are very effective. They got Josh Reynolds from the Rams.

589
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: He's our third receiver there. They lose their top tight end,

590
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: but we know they're going to try to run the ball,

591
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: so be interesting to see how Vance comes up with

592
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: different packages so where they can try to slow. My

593
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: biggest concern in this case is chunk plays. You got

594
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: to eliminate the big plays. You can't give up over

595
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: the top plays. You can't let Derrick Henry get to

596
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: the second layer where all of a sudden, a ten

597
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: yard run becomes a forty yard run because he'll stiff

598
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: arm you. Well, you brought up vanch Joseph, the Cardinals

599
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Here is his take on Byron Murphy when

600
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: talking about the cornerback position. I think it starts with Murphy,

601
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he's been the main stay for

602
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: three years, but he's played a lot of snaps and

603
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: you can see its growth. He's so much more comfortable.

604
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: He's going into his body, he's working, he knows the system.

605
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: He can be a special player for us, and he

606
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: can be one of our better players on defense. Murphy

607
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: had a team high eight past his defense last season,

608
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: including the game winner. You mentioned it at San Francisco

609
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: Mgan in a home game against the Eagles, and his

610
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: coverage grade, his defensive run grades have all jumped if

611
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: you believe in those metrics provided by Pro Football Focus,

612
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: So that is number one. Then you got Robert Alford

613
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: and knock on Wood. We are so close, gentlemen, we

614
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: are so close. Robert Alford in a Cardinals uniform for

615
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: the first time in three seasons. I'm really excited. I

616
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: feel like the only one that is more excited is

617
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: Alford himself. God, because he's been chomping at the bid.

618
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: He's been the best cornerback in training camp those first

619
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: two seasons. Just freak injuries prevented him to be on

620
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: the field during the regular season. Yeah, I'm excited for him.

621
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: Being a player myself that went through injuries and setbacks,

622
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: and you know, for him to get this opportunity, for

623
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 1: him to come into a season healthy with an ability

624
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: to start to contribute. I'm excited about this opportunity for him.

625
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: You know, one thing I want to add is, you know,

626
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: perhaps one of the most impressive aspects of what this defense,

627
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: what we saw from this defense in the preseason, is

628
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks ability to tackle, and that will need to

629
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: show itself on Sunday. You know, Mike just talked about

630
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and his stiff arm. I mean, you can

631
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: ask Josh Norman who got shot put about ten yards.

632
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: These corners are gonna have to come up. They'll find

633
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: a way to get Derrick Henry on a corner and

634
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to come up and make this tackle.

635
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: And sometimes you're not gonna have help. And that's encouraging

636
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: against especially the matchup this week and the matchup next week,

637
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: because you need physical cornerbacks. They're gonna come up and

638
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: get a running back down in the open field. Well,

639
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: the other physical cornerback in that room, Marco Wilson, a

640
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: little bit of an unknown, but he is certainly impressed.

641
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: Take this from Christian Kirk, a guest this offseason on

642
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: The Big Red Rage. You know one thing that sticks

643
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: out for me with Marco is you know he's never

644
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: out of position. You know, he's always in a position

645
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: to make a play on the ball. And I think

646
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: that's one thing encouraging. You know, when you look at

647
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: a young corners, you know he's not getting beat bad

648
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: and you know he's not, you know, getting tons of

649
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: catches you know, caught on him, you know where they're

650
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: wide open. You know, he's always making them contested, you

651
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: know catches, And I think that's that's uh, you know,

652
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: really important. And it seems like he's picking up the scheme. Well,

653
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: so we're all, you know, really excited about his development,

654
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: how he's playing so far. MJ. This was not the plan.

655
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson a Day three pick, fourth round selection. He

656
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: was not expected to play a lot right away. He

657
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: played himself based off his performance in training camp to

658
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: be in this position to where now it's Byron Murphy,

659
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: Robert Alford and Marco Wilson. And he is talking about

660
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: Wilson even as a rookie, I expect to see him

661
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: on the field a lot. Yeah, And because he's gonna

662
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: play on special teams, I mean, he's he's obviously going

663
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: to be active every week. And you know, I'm just

664
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: concerned that after Marco Wilson, where does it look like.

665
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: Rossal Douglas is a guy that I'm gonna, you know,

666
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: curious to see how he practices, because I don't think

667
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: he can go in there with Tay Gowan and Marco

668
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: Wilson's that's not the idea, And we'll see what happens.

669
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: We know teams make roster moves on the weekend, so

670
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: we'll see how these corners look on the practice squad.

671
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: We won't get a chance to see it, but I'm

672
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: curious to see because Marco Wilson can play inside and outside.

673
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: But after that, what do you have? While you mentioned

674
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: Douglas a four year veteran, the other player the Cardinals

675
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: signed to the practice squad Antonio Hamilton, five years experience

676
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: and both of those corners Kyle Douglas six two Hamilton's

677
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: six feats. But it's the experience that they have, which

678
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: is after Marco Wilson, which you lack with a Ta Gallen,

679
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: and which you lack with a Luke Barku who did

680
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: have three games last season with Jacksonville, but nowhere near

681
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: the run of a Douglas or a Hamilton. Now, the

682
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: question is can they pick up this defense to where

683
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: if there is an elevation on Saturday or Sunday to

684
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: the active roster, can they contribute this week this soon? Yeah?

685
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: I think what you want in an emergency situation, you

686
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: want a corner like you said, who has experience, who's

687
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: played in some games, who started a lot of games.

688
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: And that's important because in a pinch, you can just

689
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: go with what you call it cat covers. Just you

690
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: got that cat right, and then everybody else just adjust.

691
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: And when you have guys that have done it, have

692
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: shown an ability to you know, win one on one

693
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: matchups in lockdown guys, those are the type of players

694
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna plug in, whereas if it's a younger player without

695
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: that type of experience, you don't know what you're gonna

696
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: get when you say, okay, I just want you to

697
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: cover him wherever he goes, man to man. So it

698
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: is nice having that type of experience on the back

699
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: burner in case you need it. And the good news

700
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: is these guys have been in training camp. You know,

701
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: Josh Norman signs he's been on the street and so

702
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: he you know, you look at Douglas, played in sixty games,

703
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: a lot on special teams, started twenty nine for Philadelphia.

704
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: He was part of that team that won the Super Bowl.

705
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: So I like to size and again, we'll just have

706
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: to wait and see what transpires over the next couple

707
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: of days, including going him to Sunday the other cornerback

708
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: on the roster on the practice squad, Jace Whittaker, who

709
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: was protected fourteen excuse me twelve times times last season,

710
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: did see action in four games. But again, a young

711
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: player doesn't have the experience, and when you get into

712
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: the regular season, especially against a veteran team like Tennessee,

713
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: well you want some experience on that defensive side. Speaking

714
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: of the Titans, when we come back, what to expect

715
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans here in Week one, that's all

716
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: straight ahead. It is the Cardinals Red Sea Report right

717
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network at the one

718
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 1: the Titans gift to Henry. Henry bounces it outside five

719
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: ten fifteen stiff bar twenty twenty five thirty forty stiff

720
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: barb fifty forty thirty He's on his feet fIF chase

721
00:35:50,920 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen ten five TUSA Titans water run derecks Henry.

722
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. That was chrome man run

723
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: right there. He was not going down that step. Arm

724
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: was as beast of boost as I've seen in the

725
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: open field. So here's what the Cardinals can expect on

726
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: Sunday with Derrick Henry. Last season, ten games with at

727
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: least one hundred rushing yards, three games with two hundred

728
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: plus rushing yards, and he finished with over two thousand

729
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: yards on the ground, the eighth member of that exclusive club.

730
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: And yeah, how do you stop Derek Henry? As we

731
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: welcome me back here to the Cardinals Red Sea Report

732
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: Craig Reel to Mike Jarecki and KYLEV Nibosch the voices

733
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: of Mike Keith and coach Mack Dave McGinnis on the

734
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: Titans Radio network, And yes, I think that is where

735
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: we are all focused on Kyle. As far as you

736
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: always hear defensive players say, it starts with stopping the run.

737
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: You have to contain the run. You have to stop

738
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: the run. But Derrick Henry's a difference kind of a

739
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: running back. He's down hill between the tackles, very powerful,

740
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: very physical. So I don't think you stop a Derrick Henry.

741
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: You just don't want him. As we heard on the

742
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: play call go for ninety nine yards on a single play. Yeah,

743
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the story of this game.

744
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: Is UM either team UM with the explosive plays, and

745
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: particularly with Derek Henry, I mean it's he'll break off

746
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: those long runs. Um. I was watching a video today

747
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: and they spend a good portion of their time and

748
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: running back drills working on a stiff arm. They have

749
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: a stick with a helmet on it that he practices

750
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,479
Speaker 1: stiff army. And then they have other running backs diving

751
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: at his knees and he works on his stiff arm

752
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: and he's got, you know, the best stiff arm in

753
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: football right now, and he will embarrass you, but he,

754
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he is just such a physical runner. He

755
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: runs behind his pads and has such powerful legs and

756
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: gets gets his legs churning. So um, it always is.

757
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's job number one to stop the run. Um.

758
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, if you give up some passes, you know

759
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. But if we can't stop the run

760
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: on Sunday, if we can't limit what Derrick Henry does

761
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: on the ground, you know, it's it's it's gonna be

762
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: a shootout and it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be

763
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: tough sledding. So um, you know, And I'm sure I

764
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: don't know what the plan is because you know, it's

765
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: it's way above my pay grade and I have no

766
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: idea how how we're gonna try to match up against

767
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: this offense. But you know, I would think they're sitting

768
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: in their meeting rooms, uh, figuring out a plan to

769
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: limit what Derrick Henry can do on the ground. Well,

770
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: they better bring their hir hut okay, and along that.

771
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: You know, you always say stop the run, get the

772
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: quarterback off the spot. But then they got Julio Jones

773
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: and A J. Brown and you know, so pick your poison.

774
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: You're not going to shut him down. You hope to

775
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: contain him, and then you hope you can maybe you know,

776
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: a three yard game versus a five and six. We're

777
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: now they're in third and fourth, and then Tannehill is

778
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw the ball very accurate. I don't.

779
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: I think he's probably one of the most underrated quarterbacks

780
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: since he's left Miami. Obviously Arthur Smith was a big

781
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: part of that. But they're often the line. They're trying

782
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: to figure out who's going to be the right tackle.

783
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: They got a new play caller, so it's going to

784
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: be interesting. But if you can get Tannehill off a spot.

785
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: He doesn't make a lot of mistakes though, so that's

786
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, Van scoring against them. From a

787
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: standpoint of pressure, pressure, pressure, be careful. Last season Henry

788
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: was only quote unquote contained one game, one game with

789
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: fewer than sixty rushing yards, and that was Week five

790
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills. He finished with fifty seven. It

791
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: is certainly something that we all looked at when the

792
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: schedule came out Week one, Tennessee on the road, Derrick Henry,

793
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: what do you do well? That question was asked of

794
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons earlier this week. I'd probably say the biggest

795
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: key is just, you know, keep him off of our secondary.

796
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: Of course, we see a monster, a stiff arm he has,

797
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: so trying to keep him off of our smaller guys

798
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: as much as we possibly can. Easier said than done.

799
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: But here is where we all anticipate the baptism under

800
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: fire or the welcome to the NFL moment for Zavan

801
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: Collins Kyle, because as an inside linebacker, yeah, you're calling

802
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: the defense, but you're right there looking dead on into

803
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: the backfield at Derrick Henry, trying to figure out, all right,

804
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: what do I do because he's coming at me and

805
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: I need to make sure I hold my ground and

806
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: help and ask for help as far as tackling, because

807
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just one on one. It's gonna

808
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: take three, four or five guys surrounding the ball carrier

809
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Yeah, it always does, especially with a back

810
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: like this. But I'll say one of the most impressive

811
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: things to me about Zavan Collins through the preseason is

812
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: just the physical way he plays, how explosive he is,

813
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: how quick he is but powerful. I mean, he packs

814
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: a punch when he comes, so that will be to me,

815
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: that will be an interesting matchup when he gets Derrick

816
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: Henry in the hole, to see how that goes. But

817
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm confident in Zamon Cotlins. You know that's it's one

818
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons why he was drafted so high. It's

819
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: just how big and how physical he is. So I

820
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: think he'll be finding that matchup. And you look at

821
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the Titans offense and Tannehill. We've already

822
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: discussed Julio Jones and A. J. Brown. They are right

823
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: now minus two of their five starting offensive lineman and

824
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: right garden Nate Davis and center Ben Jones currently on

825
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID nineteen list. And this is an offense

826
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: much like the Arizona Cardinals in the preseason. MJ that

827
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: Cardinals did have Kyle the Murray on the field, but

828
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: not a lot of time on the field. As far

829
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: as preseason snaps, Tannehill didn't play, Jones didn't play, Brown

830
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: didn't play, Henry didn't play. So this is kind of

831
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: new for them as well as far as game experience.

832
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: If you believe what you see in the preseason can

833
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: materialize in the regular season. Well, and how much should

834
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill miss of training camps based on being on COVID.

835
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: Now you can work out on the side, and you know,

836
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: guys like Isabella, you know, find a jugs machine or

837
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: have somebody throw it to you. But because he gonna

838
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: find wide receivers are Julio Jones and A J. Brown. No,

839
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: so you wonder I'm not saying he's gonna be russy again.

840
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: They do have a new play caller, but they got

841
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: the same personnel. They're still trying to figure out who's

842
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: going to be their starting right tackle. I I assume

843
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: the game plan is going to be to try to

844
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: front the football and take some shots down the field.

845
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: Kyd of loosen up that Cardinals defense on the flip side.

846
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: You look at the Titans defense, and I don't think

847
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: he gets talked a lot about just because everyone focuses

848
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: on the offensive side and it becomes scoring points. But

849
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: you look at what they have MJ and but Duprie

850
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: is kind of a little a bit of an unknown

851
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: because towards ACL late last season, but he has told

852
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: the media in Tennessee that he expects to be on

853
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: the field here this week. Well, I think Jeffrey Simmons

854
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: is their best player, and you've got to make sure

855
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: you put a hat on him. Now, their secondary kind

856
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: of struggle last year, even though Malcolm Butler was at

857
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: her best corner, they went out and got generas Jenkins

858
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: Jack Rabbit. He's going to settle things down there. But

859
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: I think if there's a weakness on that team, I

860
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: think it's their secondary and that could play in the

861
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: hands of the Cardinals. You know, obviously in passing situations,

862
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: but you still have to establish quad. You just can't

863
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: throw at forty times against the Titans. And it goes

864
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: back to what we discussed earlier, Kyle. You give Kyler

865
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: Murray time in the pocket and hopefully he's able to

866
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: step up in that pocket, not drift backwards, but that

867
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: upside down you get shaped, get formed, especially along the interior,

868
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: and he has maybe an extra half second or full

869
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: second to whether if Hopkins is covered, you look to

870
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: Aj Green all right, no one there, all right, Christian

871
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: Kirk is the guy, or maybe it's Max Williams, or

872
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's the running back out of the backfield. Yeah,

873
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: I Mike just talked about. You know, one of their

874
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: weaknesses was their defensive backs last year and their coverage.

875
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: But a lot of that is because they had such

876
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: a bad pass rush. They had an inability to not

877
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 1: only sack the quarterback, but get consistent pressure pressure, and

878
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: it's the reason they you know, they signed Bud Dupree

879
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: in the off season try to get a premier pass rusher.

880
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: But like you said, we don't know what he looks like.

881
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: He's been very limited in practice and whether he's you know,

882
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: at full strength off of that acl So, you know,

883
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: again with our offensive line being one of the strengths

884
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: of our team with their pass rush, you know, being

885
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: what it was last year, unless they've made big improvements

886
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: across that front with their ability, I expect Kyler to

887
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: have some time and expect him to be able to,

888
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, deliver the ball down the field and take

889
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: some shots. He's exactly right. There are twenty ninth in

890
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: sacks and that's the reason why Malcolm Butler had a

891
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: hundred tackles in foreign interceptions. So are we anticipating a

892
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: high scoring affair on Sunday? I am? I mean again,

893
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: both teams, regardless of how good the defenses are. Just

894
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: the weapons that are on the field and the ability

895
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: and the talent, you know, there's going to be some

896
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: point scored. And it's really which defense gets the most stops.

897
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: All the Cardinals need is one more points than the

898
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: Titans and walk off that field in Tennessee with a

899
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: w and then we'll course talk about it next week

900
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,320
