1 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Welcome bird Gang. On today's show, ul Calbasi joins me, 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: we look ahead in the Sunday's game against the Raiders. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: The Chandler Jones storyline is obviously a big one bottom 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: line here, though, You've got a pair of teams that 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 1: did not play well in week one and neither wants 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: to wake up Monday morning. Oh and two, First, though, 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: do we feel better about the loss to the Chiefs. 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: It's Cardinals Cover two, episode five ninety one, and it 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two, hit in the 10 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: backfield and Downey goes for a loss. J. J. Watt 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: nailed it. Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hun Day, 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: Visit Acy Cardinals dot com Slash podcasts. He's at the 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: ten half of five. He's in again. So for Harry Magic, whoa, 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: here's Craig Grielou. Well, they say time heels. All wounds 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: were five days removed from the Cardinals loss the Chiefs. 17 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,919 Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, Paul, that was not just a wound. 18 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: That was a gaping wound. Considering what we all saw 19 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Hey, even the head coach 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: that it looked like the preseason, So we only half 21 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: joked that this year's schedule, after all, did include four 22 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: preseason games. It was. It was old school, So it's 23 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: hard not to argue that you better get better from 24 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: week one to week two. That's where historically, or at 25 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: least according to the cliche, that's where the most improvement happens. 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: It better, it better, or could get sideways again before 27 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: we get into Week two, Cardinals at the radios? Do 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: we feel better about that loss considering what we all 29 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: saw Thursday night. Not the initial struggles from the Chiefs, 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: both offense and defense, because that was concerning as you 31 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: look back at what the Cardinals did and did not 32 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: do against the Chiefs, but the fact that the Chiefs 33 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: now are two and firmly in control of their division 34 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: and maybe in the AFC. Patrick Mahomes is definitely on 35 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: a mission. There's no doubt that I think he heard 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: a lot of the headlines, saw a lot of the 37 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: coverage and said, wait a minute, when it comes to 38 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and some of these other quarterbacks, don't forget 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: about the guy who already has a ring and an 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: MVP and is still going into his prime. And so 41 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: the way he looks and his ability to keep his 42 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: eyes down field and evade the rush and the stink 43 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: and arm angles and everything. Let me tell you, Grief 44 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: from the sideline last week, that's one of the most 45 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: impressive performances I've ever witnessed, just to see him put 46 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: the ball into certain windows and escape the rush. Five 47 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: touchdown passes against the Cardinals, five different arm angles. I 48 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: guess they did feel a little better. To finally get 49 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: to your question, I guess they did feel a little 50 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: better about the fact that the Chargers did blitz him 51 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: quite a bit. Right now, I missed the first half 52 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: because we were doing something called the Big Red Rage, 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: the original Thursday Night Football, Thank you ding and so okay. 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: It's interesting because the next Gen stats said that the 55 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: average blitz right against Patrick Mahomes is about twenty four percent, 56 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: and that a dvanced Joseph blitzed him had a fifty 57 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: four percent clip, which is the highest of mahomes career. 58 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: That he faced the blitz, Live by the blitz, Die 59 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: by the blitz, and I think he had four touchdown 60 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: passes against the blitz. So the Cardinals most definitely died 61 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: with the blitz, although was it really the game plan 62 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: in the scheme or was it the failure to execute 63 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: some of those plays. Because talking to guys in the 64 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: locker room on and off the record this week, agree 65 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: that's where it has to get better. It's the missed assignments. 66 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: It's the mental errors, it's the missed alignments, not being 67 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: in the right place at the right time. Probably the 68 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: most telling quote all week was Nick Vigil saying, if 69 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: you're not lined up correctly, you have no chance in 70 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: the FFOL. It's already tough enough to play defense. If 71 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: you're not lined up correctly, then forget about it. Quoting 72 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Vance Joseph, the total operation wasn't good talking about his 73 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: defense and that's got to be corrected a sap now, 74 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: if we can gleam anything from what head coach Cliff 75 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: Kingsbury had to say Friday. Asked about practice, which was 76 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: a topic late last week, called it more focused, intentional. 77 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: But as we say, actions speak louder than words. This 78 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: team needs to show it between the lines. I did 79 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: go around the locker room, ask a few guys, a 80 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: few team leaders. All right, the whole practice thing. We're 81 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: talking about practice man Alan Iverson style. By the way, 82 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: Greg Dortch was wearing an AI T shirt because East 83 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: from Virginia, just like Alan Iverson back in the day. 84 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: There's your random factoid of the week. And I just 85 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: asked about practice and whether that was media speak. Was 86 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: that just you know, trying to cover up for fit 87 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: and they said no, it needed to improve that, especially 88 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: the young guys maybe didn't treat it like they should 89 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: have that back in the day. If you would have 90 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: had a Klais Campbell or a Frosty Rucker or some 91 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: of those guys, they would have just stopped practice a 92 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: week ago and told everybody given them a what for. 93 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: And so, you know, I think that's where like, for example, 94 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: a JJ Watt is going to be big this week. 95 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: We do expect him to play and he's just that 96 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: guy not only on the field but on the sideline 97 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: and the sort of respect he commands, the sort of 98 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: performance he expects out of players. If you're telling me 99 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: that JJ Watt is back on the defensive line to 100 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: solidify things and at Justin Pugh is back at left 101 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: guard to solidify the Cardinals whole line. Okay, now, You're 102 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: much closer. You're getting a true gauge what his team 103 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: can be and should be in week two. And the 104 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: good news is the fact that Jalen Thompson is trending 105 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: to being available after not practicing Wednesday and Thursday. Trey 106 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: von Mullen, the former Raider, you know, he would like 107 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity against his former team. He's been practicing and 108 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: might be given an opportunity this week. And Andy Isabella 109 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: and minus Rondel Moore for the second straight week. What 110 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: does that poor tend Does that mean the Cardinals use 111 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: more tight ends than ever? Does that mean more of 112 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: a commitment to the power run game with the James Conner. 113 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: You know, Josh Jacobs is gonna break it. I mean 114 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna bring it. You know, any sort of arm tackle, 115 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: he'll break those. You better be ready to tackle and 116 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: play defense when they give the ball to Josh Jacobs. 117 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: And you know what, once again in that locker room 118 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: talking to guys, they expect a couple of things. They 119 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: expect Jacobs to get his fair share of handoffspaced in 120 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: the Cardinals inability to stop the run. They expect Darren 121 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Waller to get a lot more targets. He only had 122 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: three targets through three quarters. Bestavante Adams was getting seventeen 123 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: targets from Derek Carr in week one, and they expect 124 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: Hunter Renfrow to be a much bigger part. He had 125 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: zero targets until the third quarter in this season opener 126 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: against the Chargers. Well, guess what Cardinals gave up more 127 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: than one hundred yards receiving to Travis Kelsey. They gave 128 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: up more than one hundred yards receiving two receivers in 129 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: the slot the Kansas City put there. Those were two 130 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: problem areas for the Cardinals defense. And as we all 131 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: know agree everybody now, you will see it until you 132 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: beat it. It was interesting to hear Vance Joseph specifically mentioned, yeah, 133 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs is going to be more involved. He only 134 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: had ten carries, but average nearly six yards on those carries. Wow, 135 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: and you would think after a week and then Derek 136 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: Carr was very public postgame saying, yeah, I got in 137 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: my head as far as looking at Davante Adams's direction 138 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: way too many times. Now, it's easy to do. Targeted 139 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: seventeen times, ten catches, a buck forty one and a touchdown. 140 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: Why not look Adam's direction. But to your point, for 141 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: an offense to be successful, and this goes with the 142 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals as well, you have to be able to spread 143 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: the ball around. Something Kyler Murray brought up Wednesday. He 144 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: would like to get aj Green more involved. He would 145 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: like to get Hollywood Brown more involved. And he needs 146 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: to talking about Kyler Murray because I'm sorry. We all 147 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: love Greg Dortch, and I know he was a guest 148 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage, but he cannot be your 149 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: leading receiver for a second straight week. Didn't Drew stand 150 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: tell you on the Red Sea Report, he called it 151 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: quote alarming when Greg Dortch was the leading receiver. Nothing 152 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: against Dortch, but when you have some big name and 153 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: some big weapons, Hollywood Brown among them, Yeah, that was 154 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: a shocking happening in Week one. But your lead up there, 155 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: I think brings up the two biggest liabilities of this 156 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: Raiders team. Number One, their secondary. If Kyler Murray can 157 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 1: find time enough to go through his progressions and find 158 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: receivers downfield, the Raiders definitely can be had with that 159 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: banged up secondary as good as their front four and 160 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: their front seven is. You know, if the Cardinals can 161 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: handle that, which is a big if, and we'll get 162 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: into that. And then that Raiders offensive line is their 163 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: biggest liability, no doubt. I mean they rotated seven different 164 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: guys and on that offensive line in Week one, they 165 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: were rotating two different guys, a right guard and right tackle. 166 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: You just don't see that in the NFL. And so 167 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have to exploit that. Can they get to 168 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: Derek Carr without bringing numbers, without bringing the blitz because 169 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: again it's so risky going against a veteran quarterback when 170 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: you bring the blitz. And the Chargers at twenty two 171 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: pressures and six sacks on Derek Carr in Week one. Now, yes, 172 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: they have Khalil Mack and they have Joey Bosa. They 173 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: have some all pro pass rushers which the Cardinals currently 174 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: do not have on the roster. So is it realistic 175 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: think the Cardinals can get home something they did not 176 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: do a week ago when they had zero sacks. Derek 177 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: Carr pressured on fifty percent of his snaps in Week one, 178 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: second most among all starting quarterbacks lean when you look 179 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: at the next Gen stats and just over his career 180 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: again since twenty sixteen next Gen stats, the completion percentage 181 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: without pressuring Derek Carr is fourteen points higher. He has 182 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: one hundred nineteen touchdowns without pressure, only twenty three with it, 183 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: and a passer rating of one hundred with no pressure 184 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: seventy four when he is pressured. But to your point, Paul, 185 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: can the Cardinals get pressure on Derek Carr? Would just four? 186 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: Do they have that capability? Another week for Marcus Golden 187 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: to get his conditioning football conditioning up to speed. Do 188 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: we see more of Devon Konnard elevated off the practice 189 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: squad of the active rosh What about Dennis Cardack. There 190 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: were not a lot of pass rush snaps amongst those 191 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: three last week. Yeah, and then you have Chandler Jones 192 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: on the other side, so there's gonna be the inevitable 193 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: compare and contrast. What did the Cardinals have, what did 194 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: they lose? And not resigning Chandler Jones? And to your point, 195 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: if they can get to Derek Carr like the Chargers did. 196 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: The numbers were not kind. Yeah, he almost threw for 197 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: three hundred yards, but he had three interceptions. He underthrew 198 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: Davante Adams on a deep pass early in the game 199 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: that resulted in one of those picks he had. He 200 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: had a potential touchdown pass to Darren Waller on their 201 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: very first drive. He missed them. He fumbled two times. 202 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: So Derek Carr as a quarterback who can get rattled. 203 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: If you ask any Raider fan, and we both grew 204 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: up with a lot of them, you ask any Raider fan, 205 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: they'll say, you know what, Derek Carr is pretty good, 206 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 1: but can he be great? Can he really get you 207 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: to that next level? He got him to the playoffs 208 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: last year for the second time in nineteen seasons. The 209 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: Raiders went to the playoffs and then they flamed out 210 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: in their first game against the Cincinnati Bengals. So Mark 211 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: Davis went all in and he brought in a lot 212 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: of weapons of Davante Adams, a Chandler Jones. They're trying 213 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: to take that next step. They brought in a new 214 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: head coach and a new GM. Do they need a 215 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: new quarterback? And so the Cardinals have to go in 216 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: and they have to try and make him look like 217 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: Week one Derek Carr instead of the Derek Carr who 218 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: at times has been a Pro Bowl quarterback. He has 219 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: that on his resume. So which guy are the Cardinals 220 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: going to see and that comes down to the Cardinals defense. 221 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: They have to be able to force the issue. It 222 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: can be done against Derek Carr. And one more note 223 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: on that offensive line. They're starting center Andre James suffered 224 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: a concussion in that week one game, played every snap, 225 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: but is not at what has not been on the 226 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: practice field. Wow, and all of a sudden, Okay, you're 227 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: rotating at right guard, right tackle and you're without your center. 228 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: This Cardinals team, and I think the emphasis has to 229 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: be on that defensive line, not just on Marcus Golden, 230 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: Davan Konard and Dennis Cardick, but JJ Watt to your point, 231 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: having him healthy as Zach Allen, can he get home, 232 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: whether it's with four, with five or someone from the outside, 233 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: you have to be able to get pressure on Derek Carr. 234 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: The Cardinals a little bit got some pressure on Patrick Mahomes, 235 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: not much, although how much it was out of credit 236 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: to Mahomes just being able to escape, step up in 237 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: the procket and find guys. But I do think if 238 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are going to come away with a win 239 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: on the road, it's going to be because that defense 240 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: slows down Derek Carr and Davante Attis and then hit 241 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: zoom out to the front seven. I think the other 242 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: big question obviously would be those two first round linebackers, 243 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons, you didn't play much linebacker, and then Zavian Collins, who, 244 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: according to Nick Vigil, played aggressive, played decisive, played pretty 245 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: good football. According to the veteran Nick Vigil, who I 246 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: gonna guess we're gonna see a lot more of this week. 247 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: We'll see. You know, Isaiah Simmons obviously has had better games. 248 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: He was cited by both Cliff Kingsbury and Vance Joseph 249 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: as needing to clean up quite a bit. The communication 250 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: was cited repeated by the coaches, and that was the 251 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: responsibility of an Isaiah Simmons wearing the green dot. Okay, 252 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: what does that mean when Vance Joseph sites fourteen or 253 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: fifteen plays quote unquote that were not fit correctly where 254 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: they were misaligned. But it is way too many. You 255 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: better be able to count those on one hand. In 256 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: NFL games that inevitably come down to one, two or 257 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: three plays, and there's more than a dozen plays that 258 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: were misfit or misaligned. That's a serious issue. And I thought, 259 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: you know, Vance Joseph was very blunt to the media 260 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: when he said, we just didn't play fast. We couldn't 261 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: get lined up, the calls were coming out slow, we 262 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: didn't play clean enough, and they did quote end quote, 263 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: and so that better improved. See, that's correctable when you say, 264 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: you look at the game film and the Cardinals did 265 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, and all you do is go around the 266 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: locker room, and I did and ask guys what was 267 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: that film session like? And guy's eyes would open wide 268 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: and they say, yeah, it was pretty blunt. I mean, 269 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: if the coaches were that blunt with the media, can 270 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: you imagine them during the film session. And so that's 271 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: what they mean when correctable. And we get back to 272 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: that Nick vigil quote. If you're not even lined up correctly, 273 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: it's tough enough to play defense in the NFL in 274 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: the current environment. You know, you have no chance if 275 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: you got a misaligned I thought it was interesting when 276 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: asked to Vance Joseph about those two inside linebackers. How 277 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: did Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons look very complimentary on 278 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: Zaven Collins, not so much on Isaiah Simmons. Quote had 279 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: plays that hurt us and I just think and we 280 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: talked about it on Monday here on Cardinals Covered two 281 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: presented by Hounday Probab, partner of the Arizona Cardinals. How 282 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: many times we saw number nine trailing, whether it was 283 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey or someone else in coverage the backs of 284 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: so many of those jerseys in the Cardinals defense. That 285 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: can't happen. And I think Simmons is so good as 286 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,119 Speaker 1: far as his athleticism, his speed, and I think sometimes 287 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: he gets ahead of himself to where all of a sudden, 288 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: now he's out of position, where if he just slowed 289 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: down a little bit, Because I do think he knows 290 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: this defense and knows where he's supposed to be, I 291 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: think sometimes he's just there too quickly, too fast. He 292 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: just needs to dial it down a little bit. Yeah, 293 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: there were certainly some plays where Travis Kelsey ran a 294 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: route and he shook Isaiah Simmons and there was a 295 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: lot of separation there. There were some really easy completions 296 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: from Mahomes to Kelsey. There were a couple that were 297 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: right on the money where Simmons was in Kelsey's hip 298 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: pocket and he still wasn't able to make the play 299 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: just because the accuracy of a Patrick Mahomes. But you 300 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: know Craig on the sideline, there was there was a 301 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: lot of discussion as to what was going on the 302 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: xs and o's among the defense. So when everyone said 303 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,239 Speaker 1: afterwards a communication was an issue, I was not surprised. 304 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: There there were constant huddles on the sideline as to 305 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: where exactly, you know, the calls were coming from and 306 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: how they were being executed. So I'm very curious against 307 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: the Raiders how they're going to address that. If it's 308 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: gonna change, does that mean they're gonna put the green 309 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: dot on a Buddha Baker or Jalen Thompson. Is Nick 310 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: Vigil gonna get more of a role in this thing 311 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: to get things aligned and fit correctly. Does Zaven Collins 312 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: have more put on his plate and to be that 313 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: guy He's playing the position that typically would have the 314 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: green dot and would call out the plays. So I'm 315 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: curious what it means on game day week two and 316 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: what sort of adjustments of Anne Joseph may or may 317 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: not make snap counts week one, Simmons sixty one out 318 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: of a seventy possibility. You look at Nick Vigil only 319 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: thirty six. He played just over fifty percent of the 320 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: defensive snaps when we saw a lot of Ezekiel Turner 321 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: sixteen defensive snaps. Do those numbers adjust and if they do, 322 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: adjusting to your point about the green dot that needs 323 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: to be on someone that is on the football field 324 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: ninety eight to one hundred percent of the time, and 325 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: last week that was Barren Murphy, Jalen Thompson, Marco Wilson 326 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: ninety six percent of the time. But those guys are 327 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: in the secondary. And I know Jalen Thompson kind of 328 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: mentioned it during training camp that a lot of different 329 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: players were kind of experimenting that as far as getting 330 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: the play from the sideline to the rest of the defense, 331 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: I just don't know if it's feasible when things are 332 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: happening so fast that it's someone on the third level. 333 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: You need to be closer to the line of scrimmage. 334 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: And you know what, honestly, that's where practice comes in. 335 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: We're all so easy to dismiss practice. But according to 336 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury on our TV show, and I'm quoting here, 337 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: when Wolf ASTIMYZAA. Simmons, he said, well he could have 338 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: been better. Look it's week one, but you know, we 339 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: add a bunch of practice together. That's what the walkthroughs 340 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: are for. Talking about any sort of mental errors or 341 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: missed assignments. That's where he's supposed to get it ironed out, 342 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: the walkthroughs, the practices. You know, he said, offensively, we 343 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: had pre snap penalties. That's on the offense, and that's 344 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: something that should not happen, right, didn't they have their 345 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: first snap of the game on off Yes, was what 346 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: a legal procedure, legal shift, a legal shift, so that 347 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: portended bad things. And then Cliff Kingsbury saying defensively, you know, 348 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: the mist assignments and alignments, You've got to get that 349 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: ironed out. That's where practice matters. And so we'll see 350 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: what it looks like here in week two against the Raiders, 351 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: because once again they're going to target all the same 352 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: areas the Chiefs did, whether it's out of the slot, 353 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: whether it's the tight end. You know, Darren Waller is 354 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: going to get a huge part of this game plan. 355 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: And then Josh Jacobs looked the best way to keep 356 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: Derek car clean is established that run game, and as 357 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: poor as the Raiders offensive line is, they still able 358 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: to come off the ball much better than they pass protect. 359 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 1: And then Josh Jacobs is a guy who's gonna make 360 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: you tackle. He will test whether you are regular season 361 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: ready with your tackling because he is that stout of 362 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: a running back they have. Talking about the Raiders offense, 363 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: they have a number of playmakers in the backfield, wide receiver, 364 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: tight end. That way I go back to, Okay, get 365 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: the ball out of their hands. Make sure they don't 366 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: become involved outside of Josh Jacobs to you the hand 367 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: of the ball up. But as far as passing the ball, 368 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: if you can't make things difficult for Derek Carr so 369 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: he doesn't target a Davante Adams, a Hunter, renfro At, 370 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: Darren Waller. You know what Adams did in Week one 371 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: was scary. It was you know, I asked um as 372 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: some of the defensive coaches, Davante Adams a top three 373 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: route runner in the NFL. Yes, okay, So that was 374 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: a follow up what Advanced Joseph said about him and 375 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: Stefan Dick's being atop of the league. And here's the thing, 376 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: He's not just an outside receiver. They will move him 377 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: all over Davante Adams. It's gonna be interesting. Do you 378 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: put a Byron Murphy on him. Do you shadow at 379 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: Davanta Adams with a Byron Murphy? I wish I had 380 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: the answer to that question. I don't know. We saw 381 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: that at times a year ago. We used to see 382 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: it all the time when Patrick Peterson was in his prime. 383 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: Do the Cardinals have that ability to do that? You know, 384 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: if a Trayvon Mullen is available, that gives the Cardinals 385 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: more options at the other cornerback positions along with Marco 386 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: Wilson to maybe put a Byron Murphy junior on advanta him. 387 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: But they will move them all around. And you got 388 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: to know that Josh McDaniels to Cliff Kingsbury knows very well, 389 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: going all the way back to their Patriots days when 390 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: Cliff was a young quarterback and McDaniels is an even 391 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: younger assistant coach and assistant to the assistant at that point. 392 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta figure McDaniels looking at that game 393 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: film from last week and he's going to test and 394 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: stress every area that Andy Reid targeted. It's going to 395 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: be fascinating. Again. The kickoff on Sunday one, twenty five, 396 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: eight thirty, the pregame coverage begins, and again the first 397 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: road test of the regular season Allegied Stadium, Las Vegas. 398 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: So we hope that calvc not that he needs a 399 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: curfew bird gang, but we hope that he is well 400 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: aware of his surroundings. Forget the curfew back in the day, 401 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: when you go play the Raiders, you need a personal 402 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: protector on the sideline the black Hole. Yeah, I mean, 403 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: this will be your first experience dealing with the black 404 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: Hole and a different venue. Supposedly they turned the black 405 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: Hole into a nightclub. That's what I heard. Somebody told 406 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: me they turned the black Hole. Is no moss, that 407 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: the black Hole is like a swanky, velvet role pointing nightclub. 408 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, do you see the quote from Davante Adams. 409 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: He said that now he's one of the big reasons 410 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: he came to play for the Raiders, not just Derek Carr, 411 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: but the proximity he grew up in California, went to 412 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: Fresno State. Is now his grandparents, for example, can see 413 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: him play in person for the first time as an 414 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: NFL player, and that he has so many family members 415 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: that want to come to the games now and make 416 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: the trip to Vegas. That he went and bought a 417 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: suite for five hundred thousand dollars. That's what it cost. 418 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: Avanta Adams's half a million dollars for a season suite 419 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: and he's getting the player discount, I would presume. So yeah, 420 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of desire to 421 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: go to these Raider games, and it's obviously a destination 422 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: trip for opposing fans. I'm going to be very curious 423 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: how the Red Sea travels. Curious if there is a 424 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: black hole because once again they turned into a nightclub. 425 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: And then they know how many how much a CDC 426 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: are they're going to play, because usually every other song 427 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: at a Raiders game in Oakland was a CDC. That's 428 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: the overunder I gotta figure out. But Green told me 429 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: Pauli Propett here, as long as we're going to Vegas, 430 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 1: what is the overrunder on sacks by Chandler Jones. Because 431 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: when we've seen Chandler Jones motivated, we have seen epic 432 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame caliber games, most recently Week one against 433 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee where he had the five sacks and he about 434 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: five hundred pressures and he absolutely schooled Taylor Lawan. Now 435 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: DJ Humphrey is going to be much more equipped to 436 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: go against Chandler Jones. But remember they flip Chandler Jones 437 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: and Max Crosby. Yeah, from the guys I talked to 438 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: DJ humphreyes should expect at least ten or fifteen reps 439 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: against Max Crosby. That Chandler Jones will be going against 440 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: Calvin Beecham enough that Kyler Murray is gonna have to 441 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: be aware that it won't always be from his left side. 442 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: That Chandler Jones could be coming off the right side. 443 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: We did see fifty five with the Cardinals move both 444 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: from left to right on occasion. So it bothered me 445 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: that Chandler Jones did not record a sack week one. 446 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: And it bothered me not because the Alma mater connection. 447 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: And by the way, if you see Chandler Jones telling him, 448 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: I said hello, it was the fact that, to your point, 449 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: a motivated Chandler Jones held sackless week one after the 450 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: big free agent signing. Now you've got his former team 451 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: coming into the building, and you know he never was 452 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: able to get his hands on Kyler Murray during his 453 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: entire time with the Cardinals, and you and now all 454 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: of a sudden fair game. There is the proverbial red 455 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: Jersey that no contact. If Chandler Jones can get in 456 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: the backfield, he'll sat Kyler Murray and have something to 457 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: say about it as well. So here's yeah, the motivation 458 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: is very, very real for Chandler Jones. So we asked 459 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: Wolf ask Greg Dortch on the Big Red rage about 460 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: Raiders game film and the Raiders defense and what stood out. 461 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: Dortch immediately said an, I quote, his eyes got big, 462 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: and I can't even share the emphasis with which he 463 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: said it. Chandler Jones is a problem quote unquote Greg Dortch, 464 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: just watching the film. So the stats belie the performance 465 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: of those two Raiders pass rushers. They didn't get a 466 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: single sack on Justin Herbert, which was credited to Justin 467 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: Herbert because he was able to get the ball away 468 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: and at six foot six, he's able to hang in 469 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: there sort of Big Ben style, which might be a 470 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: problem for Justin Herbert going forward. We saw he got 471 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: banged up against Kansas City, obviously with the rib or 472 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: midsection injury of some sort, but it wasn't it wasn't 473 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: for a lack of pressure on Justin Herbert that he 474 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: didn't get sacked. Max Crosby and Chandler Jones were a 475 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 1: big problem in that game. And once again we'll just 476 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: go full circle here. That's where it starts for me. 477 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: If Justin Pugh, who knows Chandler Jones as well as 478 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: anyone including DJ Humpreys because they go back to their 479 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: Syracuse days. If you're telling me that DJ humpreyes and 480 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: Justin Pure on the left side, okay, you feel a 481 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: lot better about that, just their familiarity with fifty five. 482 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: And then Max Crosby, who has the best motor in 483 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: the game. You talk to guys in the locker room. 484 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: Nobody has a better motor in the NFL than Max Crosby. 485 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter he is still bringing. It was 486 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: that ferocity and velocity that he can just wear out 487 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: an offensive line, and so that that I'm real curious 488 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: toe what Cliff Kingsbury has in mind, because remember the 489 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: text he sent Chandler Jones supposedly was, hey, don't tell 490 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: hold it against me when we chip you the entire game. 491 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: And that's probably not just jokingly. That's probably what's going 492 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: to happen on Sunday because you have to slow him 493 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: down with the tight end or a running back in 494 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: the backfield. But yeah, even if you're not getting home. 495 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: And Chandler Jones and Max Crosby again held sacklists, but 496 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: Crosby ten tackles as a defensive lineman. I mean, we 497 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: make big deals. When there's the fifteen plus tackles by 498 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: someone in the secondary, you're talking about double digit tackles 499 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: by someone at the line of scrimmage. He's making plays. 500 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: Maybe he's not getting home, but he's making plays around 501 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. So he had the ten tackles, 502 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: which was a career high, and he had eight run stops, 503 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: which shows you how stout he is against a run. 504 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: He's just not some sort of athletic pass rusher. And 505 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: then there's this stat that over the last three seasons 506 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: there are three players and only three players with forty 507 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: plus tackles for loss, Aaron Donald, T. J. Watt, and 508 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: Max Crosby. So it's a league company and it'll be 509 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: interesting to see how they use them, because a couple 510 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: of guys in there told me that he will freelance. 511 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: They sort of let him line up where he feels 512 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: like based on how an offense comes out and breaks 513 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: the huddle their formation. He will line up sort of 514 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: as he sees fit. That the last guy they saw 515 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: do that was like a Turell Suggs in his prime. 516 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: That he's just gonna go okay, you know, he'll move 517 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: over a defensive lineman, he'll get in there, he'll get 518 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: into like a five technique or no, he's gonna come 519 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: off the edge this time, he'll go wide nine. He'll 520 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: be you know. And so I'm curious to see as 521 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: often as we're watching fifty five ninety eight is going 522 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: to be a show to himself based on the motor 523 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 1: and where he lines up and just the way he 524 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: plays the game. I've never seen it before in person. 525 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: Max Crosby, I'm real curious to witness that. All he 526 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: has to do is watch the film of last week's 527 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: game and how much pressure up the middle that Kyler 528 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: Murray face because of the issues and the interior. So 529 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: if you're Max Crosby, yeah, you might be as an 530 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: edge rusher or defensive enage Chandler Jones as well, But 531 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: what is the quickest way to get to the quarterback. 532 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: It's a straight line up the middle, and the Cardinals 533 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: need to be able to control that middle pressure because again, 534 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: you look back at last week, Kyler Murray with a 535 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: hand in his face did not look comfortable. And that's 536 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: not my word. That was Kurt Warner in the NFL 537 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: Network looking at the film. Kyler Murray under pressure looked 538 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: uncomfortable and we haven't seen well, obviously we saw it 539 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: in the playoff loss to Los Angeles Rams, but up 540 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: until that point he had been pretty good at escaping 541 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: that pressure, handling that pressure. But in the last two 542 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: games he has not. You know, I would throw in 543 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: the Week fourteen against the Rams. Last year when Aaron 544 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: Donald had fourteen pressures in a single game, you had 545 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: a whole season worth the pressures in a single game, 546 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: and the predominant majority of those came through the right 547 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: guard spot. Right guard was to last year what left 548 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: guard was to Week one. That liability that can rattle 549 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback. That's what we meant, and we talked about 550 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: it last week, that you don't want to pick up 551 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: where you left off in that playoff loss. No, nothing 552 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: from last season, even the postseason, carries over to this season. 553 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm talking about how the Rams rattled a Kyler Murray. 554 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: Is that the Cardinals had a liability at one spot 555 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: in the offensive line and it costs them. It was 556 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: the gift that kept on giving that right guard spot 557 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: in the playoff loss, well against Kansas City was the 558 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: left guard. You know, the Pro Football Focus grades were 559 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: not kind to the third stringer Sean Harlow filling in. 560 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: So once again we come full circle. If you can 561 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: get Justin Pew to solidify that spot, JJ Watch to 562 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: solidify the defensive line alongside Zach Allen, who played very 563 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: well my understanding. You know, there are five guys from 564 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: that game really that I thought really brought at. Zach 565 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: Allen was one of them. At Dennis Gardeck was another, 566 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, a Buddha baker who had thirteen tackles in 567 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: the game. There were just guys who stood out based 568 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: on effort, in intensity, and urgency. Zach Allen was one 569 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: of those guys. So now if you get JJ Watt back, Okay, now, 570 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: now you can get a true gauge to me on 571 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: what this Cardinal team is going to be all about. 572 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: After a week two game against the Raiders, you always 573 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: have the best seat in the house on the sidelines 574 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: as far as being able to see and also here, 575 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: but how does this game start for the Cardinals offense. 576 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: Third snap of the game last week, Kyler Murray was 577 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: sacked and all of a sudden, this team, this offense, 578 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: it's really the offense. If they don't get something clicking 579 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: early in the game, first possession, second possession, they have 580 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: a hard time regrouping and getting back, especially if they're 581 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: trailing by a touchdown or two touchdowns. And it goes 582 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: back to the pressure. You get pressure on Derek Carr, 583 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't handle it well. Get pressure on Kyler Murray 584 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,959 Speaker 1: last week three of eight for twenty three yards when 585 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: he was under duress, and we know that. Yeah, everyone's 586 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: gonna be focusing on Chandler Jones, but don't forget about 587 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: Max Crosby and those two. It's gonna come. It always 588 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: comes down to the line of scrimmage. Who controls the 589 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. But to me, it's it's all about 590 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: pressure in the other team's quarterback. This week, and it 591 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: was a lethal combination against Kansas City. You were going 592 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: three and out and then Patrick Mahomes was going the 593 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: length of the field with three touchdown drives, three touchdown 594 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: passes in their first three possessions. You know he's the 595 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: second quarterback to do that since nineteen ninety one, to 596 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: start a game with three touchdown passes in the first 597 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: three drives. The other was Aaron Rodgers twenty eleven, which 598 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: is so ironical, if you will, because that's exactly what 599 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: I said on the broadcast, that the way he was 600 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: throwing the ball and just flicking it so easily from 601 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: different arm angles, and just the touch, the velocity, getting 602 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: it into windows, putting it on the money and befuddling defenders. 603 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: It reminded me of a young Aaron Rodgers what Patrick 604 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: Mahomes was doing down there. It was breathtaking at times, 605 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: just how good Mahomes was in that week one. And 606 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: then after his four touchdown pass, he flashed a fourd 607 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals sideline. I'm guessing an honor of his 608 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: longtime college head coach, Cliff Kingsbury. I know one defender 609 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: told me after the game that, you know, they got 610 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: some hits on him. He got the pass away. There 611 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: was no sacks by the Cardinals defense, obviously, but they 612 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: hit him pretty hard. I know it was after the second, 613 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: third or four touchdown pass. I can't keep track, but 614 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: after one of those touchdown passes they hit him hard. 615 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: And they sort of rubbed it in a little bit 616 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,239 Speaker 1: and Mahomes jumped up. He said, all right, good, hey, 617 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: good hit, but that's a touchdown boys, and he ran 618 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: off the field. He's ultra uber competitive, Patrick Mahomes. I 619 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: hope one day, and it might not be this month, 620 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: it might not having me this season. But the center 621 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: midfield exchange between Cliff Kingsbury and Patrick Mahomes, what was 622 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: said by one or the other, maybe more so by 623 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: the player versus the head coach, and then obviously the 624 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: text messages back and forth throughout the entire season. Because 625 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: again now as we go full circle, it's once again 626 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: not just the Cardinals the Chiefs victimized. Excume the Chargers 627 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: victimized as well. Mahomes has seven touchdowns and no interceptions 628 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: in two games. Wow, And I tried. I asked Cliff 629 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: Kingsbury about what they might have said to each other 630 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: after the game, and he said, I'll keep that to myself. 631 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: So we went down swinging. We struck out on that one. 632 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: But remember Mahomes quote going into the game, because I 633 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: have it right here, I hope I get the win 634 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: because I'll have bragging rights for the rest of time. 635 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: So hashtag eternity on that one, Patrick Mahomes. So I'll 636 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: tell you what that Charger's Chiefs game on Thursday night? 637 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: Was that not a preview of the AFC Championship at 638 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: easily could be a preview those those two teams are loaded. 639 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: And I'll leave everyone with this Amazon Prime video. This 640 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: was my first experience watching a live game on a 641 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: streaming platform of this magnitude, of the NFL magnitude. I 642 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: don't know about you, Paul, but i'll steal your line 643 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: at Cossa gril Loo. Yeah, there were zero, zero issues 644 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: video or audio, didn't clutch buffering, nothing, no buffering like that. 645 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: I agree. It was clean, it definitely. You know, um, 646 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: I need to pop for the four K one of 647 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: these days, you know, maybe for Christmas. But it was 648 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,719 Speaker 1: clean and uh yeah, I had no issues with it. 649 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: Obviously you had familiar voices on the call, and so 650 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: that's that's. Look, when they're paying a billion dollars per 651 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: season over an eleven year contract, you know, this is 652 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: the NFL vaccimizing their media rights. This is why the 653 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: NFL is the financial juggernaut. It is because they're able 654 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: to leverage these different entities on different platforms. You know, 655 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: now if the Pack twelve network can just figure it 656 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: out for those of us who went to Pack twelve schools, 657 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: just figure it out. Although this week it's great, there's 658 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: bad news for Bertrand Berry because the cow Bears are 659 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: going into South Bend, are going to leave his Notre 660 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: Dame fighting Irish.

Yeah, that's right. This is bragging 668 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: rights for the rest of time. Bertrand Barry, although im 669 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: not gonna go as far as the pashpod and Dave 670 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: passion is bet with Damian Lillard. Dave, you gotta be 671 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: gripping if if you hear Dave as more of a 672 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: homer on the call than ever, if he sounds like, oh, 673 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't know a hawk Harrelson on a Chicago White 674 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: Sox broadcast. That's an old school one look up that 675 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 1: if if Dave Fashions turned into a certified bona fide 676 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: flaming Homer on the call Sunday, that's because he has 677 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: a lot riding on this game with Damian Lillard, does 678 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: he not? Who agrees to that bet? Okay, if the 679 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: Cardinals will and Damian Lillard has to wear a Kyler 680 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: Murray uniform, all right, that's fine, and it won't be 681 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: opening nights. You can go to the patch pod and 682 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: get the full details. It's not maybe not opening night 683 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: but during a home game. But if the Raiders win, 684 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: Pasch has to go all black hole and dress up 685 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: face and everything. There's there's just there's just a small 686 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: part of me, Paul that would love to see that. 687 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: Yet at the same time, of course, I cannot have 688 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 1: a team in Arizona Cardinals team bo and two. Uh yeah, Dave, 689 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: you know you got the raw end of that bet. 690 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: That was a lot side of bet, you know. But 691 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: once again, Damian Lillard is an NBA superstar and he 692 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: was the one who agreed to come on your podcast. 693 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: So as it should be, as it should be. The 694 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: good news is for Dave he won't have to go far, 695 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: I figure because um, you know, his son Zeke is 696 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: a big time Star Wars fan. So if he needs 697 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: any sort of the Darth Vader stuff or you know, 698 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: any you know to look like you truly belong in 699 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,720 Speaker 1: the black hole, I'm sure there's a lot of Halloween 700 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: Costs Him stuff that Dave can put on in addition 701 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: to the black face paint. So there you go. So 702 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: we've got the Chandler Jones storyline. DJ Humphreys and Chandler 703 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: Jones teammates now going against this one another. It's it's 704 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: it's the first road tests and then of course the 705 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: other storyline that might not get much national attention, but 706 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: it's certainly here on our Cardinals platforms. The day pass 707 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,240 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard be. So there you go, Dave. You wanted 708 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: the pashpod. You know, we all retweeted the pashpod, and 709 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: so guess what it might come home to roost. But 710 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 1: it can't be nearly as bad as I tweeted out 711 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: at Paul KELVC. Can't nearly as bad as when you 712 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: were a young broadcaster out of Syracuse a sports update guy. 713 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: Actually make that sportscast delivering finally tune handcrafted sportscast on 714 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: Detroit Sports Radio, and you actually got punched in the 715 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: booth live on the air. That's an all time story 716 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: from Dave Pash. I won't even come close to doing 717 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: that to dignity it deserves. But it can't be that bad, 718 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: right is getting punched live on the air. It can't 719 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: be no will but the pictures that I'm just the 720 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: social that will circulate across social media for eternity, as 721 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: we use that word of the day here.
