Speaker 1: Paul I actually made poly podcast bingo cards, so ohmo,

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Darren and I are all playing with the same words. However,

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: in different orders. Please wait a minute. Dryer might actually

19
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: be on there because this has been a two month

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,840

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: can't show you please, oh yow. Okay. So it took

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: about four seconds for me to realize I'm being bamboozled,

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: flim flammed, and she said she's going to be doing

25
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: this back door. I was not aware of bingo cards

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: where part of it. Do not know bingo cards would

27
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: be part of today's broadcast, or I would have brought

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: my own all. Believe me, we got we got New

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: Year's resolutions at the end. I'm sure you'll have some call.

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: I would have brought a stinking bingo card with each

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: one of your names on it. Danny, Sorry, my goodness, Okay,

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: you're dryer. I'm just thrown by the alacrity with which

33
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: the two of you automatically went for your Bingo card

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: When I said those two words. I kept thinking to myself,

35
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm thrown. He's not gonna get to any We're gonna

36
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: be like halfway through and talking serious thing at booth.

37
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: You just got it right out of the box. Yeah, okay. Anyways,

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: so we're on our fourth if you had the over

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: under fourth dryer, fourth dryer. The first one that showed up,

40
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: we ordered a new dryer. The first one showed up,

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: they took out of the box saying installed, and my

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: wife comes over to look at it, and the control

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: panel was in Spanish. Okay, okay, wait a minute, you're

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: not even saying your fourth dryer. Since you've been married,

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: your fourth dryer, like you've been trying to buy a

46
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: new one and it keeps getting screwed up. Fourth dryer

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: in the last eight weeks. Holy, So the first one

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: was in Spanish, send it back. We had to wait.

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: The next one shows up, it's off the truck. My

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: brother in law was over, he's a former cop in marine,

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: and he noticed that it said refurbished on the side

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: of the box. He said, nope, that's going back. Then

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: they sent us a third one, which we just returned

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: because after about seventeen seconds or so, it would end

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: because the door would become a jar because a door

56
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: win seal. So of course when the door is a

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: jar and a dry or what happens, It turns off.

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: So we couldn't get this thing to go more than

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: twenty seconds at a time. And now they just delivered

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: the fourth one. So let's hope. Let's hope on you

61
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: haven't had a dryer, a working dryer for eight weeks.

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: Well it would work if you actually leaned against the door.

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: So at one point I was getting stuff and just uh,

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, just to have weight against the door, leaning

65
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: it against. But yes, I've gone on over. We brought

66
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: in the laws more than once to do laundry. We

67
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: u we had a light switch issue with our disposal. Okay,

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: that's going been going on, and I we unplugged the disposal.

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: We are having a get under the sink and plug

70
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: it in every time we wanted to use a disposal

71
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: and unplug it because it was one of those things

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: where it's one of those flat switches that eventually like

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: loses its ability to stay where it's supposed to be.

74
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: So we woke up one morning and the disposal have

75
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: been going on all night. And you must be a

76
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: heavy sleeper, and we tried, I try or sleeping off

77
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: a bender. I try to fix the switch the other

78
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: day and when we turned the power on, there was

79
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: a big spark and pop, and I decided I didn't

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: want to burn on the house. So we're getting that fixed.

81
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: But like, we haven't had the dishwasher for like four days,

82
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: and I thought that was bad. I can't imagine not

83
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: having a dryer for eight weeks, especially, you know, if

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: it was the summer, right and it was one hundred

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: and fifteen with dy, then you throw it outside. That's

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: Arizona is the nature's own dryer. That's a good point,

87
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: but this time of year not so much. So let's

88
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: see here, did I have disposal on my bingo cards

89
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: for Darren? I did not. Okay, now, don't feel left out.

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: We just didn't want you to know the words ahead

91
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: of time, right, Yeah, that ruins it. So the number

92
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: is four though, four different starting quarterbacks in four weeks,

93
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: and that's the second time that has happened in the

94
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: NFL since nineteen fifty. And when we shared that stat

95
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: with Cliff Kingsbury and his TV show this week, there

96
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: was sort of a roll into the eyes, like, oh boy,

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: how many year? Said have you been covering the Cardinals

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: at that point? Darren? Nineteen fifty? Wow, one time since

99
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: I've had something like that to meet you with. So

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: Danny's coming out swinging here in twenty twenty three, we

101
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: know her New Year's resolution. At this point, we also

102
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: know who the starting quarterback is going to be. There's

103
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: not going to be the Reindeer games towards the end

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: of the week, So Danny, go ahead your forthcoming. What

105
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: is the current situation at quarterback? One game left. David

106
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: Blow is getting the start, second start in a row

107
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: for him for the Cardinals. Last week Thursday, after practice

108
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: was when Colt McCoy had some concussion symptoms again, so

109
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: David Blow only had one day to really practice as

110
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: a starter last Friday. So Cliff Kingsbury sent his press

111
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: conference Wednesday, he wanted to give Blow the opportunity to

112
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: have a full week practicing as a starter and getting

113
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: that experience and having a chance to lead offense with

114
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: that proper preparation that with them that Trace McSorley had

115
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: when he started Christmas Night game. Again, it's to Tampa

116
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. This is still an evaluation process, Kingsbury said

117
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: in his press conference. You know there's after Kyler Murray

118
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: had his surgery this first week of January that it

119
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: went well, but it's probable that Kyler Murray will not

120
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: be ready to start the season. So if you're going

121
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: to assume that you're going to have Colt McCoy as

122
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback, You're going to need to figure out

123
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: another backup situation. And I think that's what this is is.

124
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I thought that David Blow played well in Atlanta, especially

125
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 1: given the pieces that were not there on the offense

126
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, and so this is another chance to

127
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: see what he can really do in Something we've heard

128
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: from Kingsbury at his press conference, we heard it in

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: this week's Hard Knocks episode is how sharp he thinks

130
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: David Blow is and how he sees the game. So

131
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: he wants to give him another opportunity with a full

132
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: week of preparation. And we'll get into David Blouse some

133
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: more here, but the latest time Kyler Murray, because there

134
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: is news this week on Kyler Murray. If you saw

135
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: his Twitter account, boom, where was he? Dare he was

136
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: in the hospital smiling, yes, smiling after surgery, which I

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: I guess, as multiple people have pointed out to me

138
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: in which I've heard, it's kind of the cliche when

139
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: we hear Cliff Kingsbury say the surgery went well, it

140
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: better have gone well. I mean well. The word Kyler

141
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: used was successful, right, what successful surgery that was not successful? Well?

142
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Actually that I have usual not in the NFL. I

143
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: have heard of surgeries that are not successful, and I

144
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: usually end up in lawsuits. I just it's a step

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: that we all knew was going to happen. But now

146
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: that you you you officially start that rehab timeline once

147
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: the surgery happens, it can't start until then. Um and

148
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's not going to do anything

149
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: except rest probably for a few weeks. But I just

150
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: want to say, in terms of the surgery went well,

151
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: to me, I take that as was it what you

152
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: were expecting, Whether that was a clean ACL tear, was

153
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: there any sort of little meniscus damage. I don't know

154
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: the specifics, but to me, I think of surgery can

155
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: go well, and then I can think of the situation

156
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: with Max Williams and his knee of it was a

157
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: lot worse than I think maybe they expected, and he

158
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: had to have multiple surgeries and knowing where he that

159
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: that to me is what I take as did surgery

160
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: go well in terms of was it what you were expecting?

161
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: Was it clean enough to where you pretty much know

162
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: what the rehab process is going to look like barring

163
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: any setback. So it's you're not dead. I mean, yes,

164
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: that would in my eyes mean surgery did not go well,

165
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: did not go as planned. That would be a setback,

166
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: There's no doubt, pretty far back. Yes. The NFL network

167
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: did add, though, to the Kyler's surgery that they quote

168
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: stitched up the meniscus. Okay, I'm not a doctor. I

169
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: don't even play one here on Cardinal's Underground brought to

170
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: you by Pacific Office Automation, but it sounds like that

171
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: could mean some added time in the recovering rehab. The

172
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: thing is is, I don't know exactly what that would mean.

173
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: You know, I too, am not a doctor. I don't

174
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: know if that would actually be something I mean for me.

175
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Like again, I don't know every particulars of all the

176
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: ACL things, but it seems which seemed odd to me

177
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: that you would tear your ACL and not have any

178
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: meniscus damage. But who knows, I don't know what. But

179
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: it further illustrates why the Cardinals are making the move

180
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: with Cole McCoy to air on the side of caution

181
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: a coming off the concussion and be in the name

182
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: of next year that they're shutting him down now just

183
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: in case you don't want some sort of injury in

184
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the final game of the year, because he could be

185
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: your guy and fill in the blank X number of

186
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: games to start next year. You know who knows. I mean,

187
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: it could be Halloween before you see Kyler Murray and

188
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: a Cardinals uniform in a regular season game. Again, we

189
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: don't know. It isn't unknown. So with that in mind,

190
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: I was part of the reason irrationale that the Arizona

191
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals are gonna go with David Blow And and you

192
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: know what, for a guy who looked didn't make every

193
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: throw and I was talking to Craig Griolu about this

194
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: cover two didn't make every throw, not every catch was made, obviously,

195
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: but Manna looked like he was decisive. It looked like

196
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: he was going through his reads. He was able to

197
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: scan and survey and assess the defense to figure out

198
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: And that's what he said after the game in his locker,

199
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: didn't he Yeah, I mean that he wanted to demonstrate

200
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: that he knew where to go with the ball and

201
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: make the right decisions. He looked, with all due respect

202
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: to Trace McSorley, he looked more comfortable for the Cardinals

203
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: in that offense than Trace McSorley did, and David Blow

204
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: had only been there three weeks when he did it.

205
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: He just looks the part. Now does he look the

206
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: part of a starting quarterback in this league? That could

207
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: be kind of a stretch, and I thought it was interesting,

208
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: and he could maybe start for this forty nine ers team,

209
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: considering that you have a number one defense, top ranked

210
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: Russian game. Honestly, but go ahead, you're he's not going

211
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: to carry a team. It was interesting, I thought on

212
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks because here's a guy who's now been on

213
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: both versions of Hard Knocks this year. He was with

214
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: the Lions and training camp in preseason and then obviously

215
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: came here and he was talking on Hard Knocks about

216
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: how for him, in a perfect world, he would have

217
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: been with a Lion all year, is the backup to

218
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, and he would have been okay, not playing,

219
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: he just would have been the backup there, and I

220
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: thought that was kind of interesting. And then after the game,

221
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: where he was standing with family, he explained to them

222
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: and maybe it was for the purposes of the cameras

223
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: and if any other decision makers around the NFL were

224
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: listening that he truly, sincerely, genuinely feels that he's a

225
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: lot better than he was in twenty nineteen when he

226
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: had five starts at the end of his rookie year

227
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: for the Lions as an undrafted rookie out of Perdue

228
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: that he feels like he's so much better and that's

229
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: what he wanted to show. And guess what, now he's

230
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: going to get a chance against the number one ranked

231
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: defense standing. Yeah, it's gonna be That's That's the thing

232
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: is playing this forty nine Ers team is going to

233
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: be different than playing the Falcons team that the Cardinals

234
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: played last week. But David Blouse said that he felt comfortable,

235
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: he didn't feel nervous. He knows he could play even

236
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: better than he did. It's just, you know that we're

237
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: at the point in the season where it makes sense

238
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: to make this decision. Even if Colt McCoy didn't have

239
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: concussion symptoms, I'm sure he want to play. I think

240
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: there's a chance they probably would still sit him from

241
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: an evaluation standpoint. I think that's other players that are injured.

242
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's gonna be a determining factor as well.

243
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Some of the players that aren't on ir but have

244
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: been dealing with nagging injuries and haven't played the last

245
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Just where you are at the season

246
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: at this point with no playoffs to play for see

247
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: for me, and I know a lot of people are

248
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: talking about the draft pick and all that stuff. For me,

249
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: and I wrote this last week it once Cole cleared

250
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: concussion protocols, I would have started him again once he

251
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: had a setback and had more symptoms than he was done.

252
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: For me, I like, there's no way I'm putting him

253
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: back out there anytime soon. It's not worth it. It's

254
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: not worth it. And if to you know, we had

255
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: heard in a press conference before he had the concussion

256
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: that somebody brought up that he had an MRI on

257
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: his head before that, and Cliff and Cole both responded

258
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: to it and said, I was okay, but like you were,

259
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: you were doing that. Then he had a concussion, then

260
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: he had symptoms. There's no way I'm putting him back

261
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: out there. So it makes and to me, David Blow

262
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: earned that right against the forty nine ers. And again,

263
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have DeAndre Hopkins. There's a good chance

264
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have James Connor. You know, it's it's

265
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: not it's it's a piecemeal kind of offense to go

266
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: against the defense like that. And by the way, if

267
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: t Hop would have been in there in this last

268
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: game out Atlanta, I bet you he would have had

269
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: a good game. I agree, it wouldn't have been like

270
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: the trace McSorley experienced one catch on ten targets. I

271
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: agree with that. So yeah, and now for David Blow,

272
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: he's going against the Niners defense. Here you go number

273
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: one in scoring, allowing just sixteen point five points per game,

274
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: Number two in total d number one in rushing defense,

275
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: number four in takeaways. Instead of an Atlanta defense that

276
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: came into that game with nineteen total sacks, You're going

277
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,359
Speaker 1: against Nick Bosa who has seventeen and a half right now. Yikes.

278
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's gonna be a challenge. He's going after

279
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: the Niners franchise record of nineteen and a half sacks.

280
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: That's the old time Niners record. And he leads the

281
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: NFL with seventy one quarterback pressures in forty seven quarterback hits.

282
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: He's the only player with more than thirty five quarterback hits.

283
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: He leads that category he's saying, David Blow is probably

284
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: gonna get hit by Nick Bosa. Ya Bakers doesn't put

285
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: it this way. There's only one player with more quarterback

286
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: hits in a season since they start tracking this. In

287
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: OH six, I saw this stat. Guess who J J.

288
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: Watt fifty one and fifty and two of his NFL

289
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. This is not just an

290
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: evaluation game last week, in this week for the quarterback

291
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: situation of what your backup is going to look like

292
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: next year. I think the offensive line as well. You

293
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of players, a lot of starters on

294
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: that O line that are either hurt that are going

295
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: to have to make a decision on if they want

296
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: to come back and play or if they want to retire.

297
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: And you have starters who are pending free agents. If

298
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: some of them are all the above, yes, that's the

299
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: third option is all the above. So when you're going

300
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: against Nick Bosa, that to me is an evaluation as

301
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: you probably don't need to evaluate your right tackle Calvin Beachum,

302
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: you know what he brings. But you've got Josh Jones

303
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: who's been playing left tackle, but you just signed DJ Humphrey,

304
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: so is Josh Jones playing well enough to where that's

305
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: going to be your future at right tackle. Are you

306
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: going to keep Josh Jones elsewhere? How are you liking

307
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: Billy Price? If you're going to need a new center

308
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: next year, Will Hernandez, There's a lot of questions. So

309
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: going up against a Nick Bosa, I think that this

310
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: is still an evaluation process for that offensive line because

311
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: you're going to have a lot of decisions that have

312
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: to be made this offseason. Beach said, once upon a time,

313
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: he started a game at tight end in the NFL

314
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen and finished at center. We could put

315
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: him at center next year. Look, I'm open to anything.

316
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to make this easy for

317
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: purposes of effective immediately through the offseason. They have one

318
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: starting offensive lineman under contract as t J. Humphries, Right,

319
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: you see, the only offensive lineman under contract Hernandez one year.

320
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Hernandez was one year. Rodney Hudson's on her contract next year. Yeah, well,

321
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: can we all agree that we're not counting on Ronnie.

322
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: It's not on the Bengo car, But we can all agree.

323
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: And I would also say, um, I know it's my

324
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: story will come out next week, but I mean you can.

325
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: You could take this whole roster and throw a dart

326
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: and you know, a good chunk of the time you're

327
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: going to hit a free agent somewhere. That could be

328
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: a fun game thirty two free agents a dartboard in

329
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: the podcast studio, Danny's gonna put that into one of

330
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: pect What's what's your piece of content with the games?

331
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: What is it? I'm sorry? Game on there you go.

332
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Don't don't give her any ideas. Darts is going to

333
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: be the next one you could You could put different

334
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: categories up on the dartboard. A great idea. Actually, nobody

335
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: steal that from me. We won't, so it'll just between

336
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: the three of them. So look at this offensive line,

337
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: because you're going to see, based on what I'm in hold,

338
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa goes up and down the Niners defensive line.

339
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna be over Calvin Beecham, He's gonna be over

340
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Josh Jones. By the way, the last we saw Nick Bosa,

341
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: you know what he was doing. He was basically winning

342
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: the game against the Raiders and Ot by shoving Colton

343
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: Miller bull rushing the Raiders left tackle Indo Jarrett's Stidham.

344
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: It affected, his throw was picked off, returned fifty plus yards,

345
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: game winning field goal, game over, and there was Nick

346
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: Bosa with his arms in the air like and pounding

347
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: his chest, goes yeah, he basically decided the game. We

348
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: remember those six seconds when Nick Bosa was going to

349
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: be a cardinal. You know what? You know what Cliff

350
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: told us on his weekly TV show. He said that

351
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: Bosa still holds it against him for not taking Bosa

352
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: number one overall. Okay, half jokingly, but but and and

353
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: for that reason, I guess Bosa will talk a lot

354
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: of noise towards Cliff during the game. And then Cliffs

355
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: response always as well, you can keep talking and I'm

356
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna keep chipping you. And so that's what Cliff tells him.

357
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna chip your rear while you bark at me.

358
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: And this is how we're gonna go here for four quarters.

359
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: So it's kind of a funny type of dynamic between

360
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: those two. The the motivation that guys get on some

361
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: stuff or the ones that they create for themselves, you know,

362
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: real or imagine, is just it's amazing. By the way, Um,

363
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: you have Nick Bosa going against Josh Jones in this

364
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: game and I mean, that's gonna be pretty telling. Here's

365
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: the thing, this might be the biggest question to me

366
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. What do you do with Josh

367
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: Jones who has said repeatedly he's so much more comfortable

368
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: at left tackle. And I know we have the off

369
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: season to talk about this. We do, and I think

370
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: he's been playing well these last couple of weeks. By

371
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: the way, I'm gonna throw it in. I'm gonna throw

372
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: this out there. If he's so much more comfortable on

373
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: the left side, could he be your left guard next

374
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: year next to DJ Humphreys. So that's that. Actually, that's

375
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: interesting if you guys run into Josh Jones, somebody needs

376
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: to asking that question before he bolts for the off season.

377
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: So I throw that out there as a model. That's interesting.

378
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, this Niners defense is I mean, they've won

379
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: nine in a row as a team. The first eight

380
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: in that winning streak, they allowed twenty points twenty points

381
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: or fewer every game. So it's gonna be a challenge.

382
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. How about CALVCI Consulting. Is

383
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: CALVCI Consulting on your BINGO card? Because CALVC Consulting says

384
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals need to adapt and adopt the whole Tom

385
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: Brady passing game that just get the ball out in

386
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: two seconds or less, basically against Nick Boson this night,

387
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: this week, this week, week Cardinals need David Blow needs

388
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: to watch some film of Tom Brady on Christmas Night

389
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals where he didn't get sacked once because

390
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: he just instantly got rid of the ball. That's what

391
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: coult tried to do against the forty Niners of Mexico City,

392
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: and they held with it for a while until the

393
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: defense kind of fell apart, and then then you had

394
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: to and then Nick Boson that game had one sack,

395
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: four quarterback hits. And then you have the Gilbert Product

396
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: Brock party starting for the San Francisco twenty nine ers.

397
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what stat you want on this, here's

398
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: one for you that there's some ridiculous stuff on Brock.

399
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Pretty you realize, no rookie quarterback drafted outside the first

400
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: five rounds has started a playoff game in the NFL

401
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: since once again nineteen fifty. So if they're tracks saying

402
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: that again, no rookie quarterback, no rookie quarterback drafted outside

403
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: the first five rounds on it has started a playoff

404
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: game in the modern era of the NFL. It is

405
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: pretty crazy, I thought. I don't, is it, though, Like,

406
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a very you know, if you're

407
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: if you're using a rookie quarterback that's drafted in the

408
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: fifth round, you're probably not going to be a very

409
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: good team. So there's probably not even that many chances

410
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: of a playoff team, you know. And by the way,

411
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: he leads the NFL and passer ratings since he became

412
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: a starter in Week four. Team pretty good, I mean.

413
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: And this Niners team, here's one for you. If the

414
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: Niners beat the Cardinals and they finished the season with

415
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: ten straight wins, will be the thirteen team to do that,

416
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: to finish the regular season on a ten plus game

417
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: winning streak. How many of the previous twelve do you

418
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: think went on to win the Super Bowl? Eight Darren

419
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: won three as a correct answer, two lost in the

420
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but six of the twelve lost in the

421
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: divisional round didn't even make it to the championship. The

422
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: teams there, I do not. I was just curious, like,

423
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: is one of them that the Panthers that the Cardinals

424
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: beat in two thousand and eight? I would be curious

425
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: about that. That's a good guess. It's a good guess.

426
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: I know one of the two to loose in the

427
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl was at undefeated Patriots team, obviously, so but yeah,

428
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: job So it's it's a Niners team that can clinch

429
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: the number two seed with a win, can still clench

430
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: the number one overall seed with a loss by Minnesota.

431
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yes, yeah, the Eagles, And so how apparent

432
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: do you think that's going to be out on that

433
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: field because it has not been a problem so far,

434
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: the Cardinal's lack of energy, intensity, urgency, despite the fact

435
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: that they're out of the playoff race, And honestly, I'm

436
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: surprised to a certain degree because we saw games last

437
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: year where the Cardinals were da at Detroit Carolina at home.

438
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen yet. Do you expect it to happen

439
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: Week Eighteam, No, I don't. I don't think because we've

440
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: seen it all year, and this isn't the first game

441
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals will be playing knowing they're not making

442
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or not having a significant amount of starters

443
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: or any of that. So I would not expect the

444
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: fight that we have seen from the team up until

445
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: the very end all season to drop off this week.

446
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers are going to have plenty to

447
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: play for. They're going to have that motivation, They're going

448
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: to play their starters. This is still a divisional game,

449
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: and I know that every game is important and you

450
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: want to beat every team, but there's still a little

451
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: more when you're playing a division rival, and I would

452
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: imagine the Cardinals would want to prevent the forty nine

453
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: ers from having that bye week the first round of

454
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think I don't worry about the energy

455
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: to start with. What I worry about is if it

456
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: starts getting off the rails like Mexico. I mean, the

457
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals were in that game at halftime, and then they

458
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: weren't at the beginning of the third quarter, and then

459
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: the wheels came off. And that's what I would be

460
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: concerned about, is the wheels coming off if it really

461
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: started getting sideways. I think as long as I think,

462
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: they'll play hard early, but there's going to be a

463
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: significant gap in talent between the two teams, and that's

464
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: still what ultimately decides most of these games. And if

465
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: you're in the Niners, why don't you just pick up

466
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: where you left off. Your halftime adjustment in Mexico City

467
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: was we're running the ball straight ahead, We're coming off

468
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: the ball. Can you stop us? Will you stop us?

469
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: Here comes a power run game. I was talking to

470
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: Matt Mioko of NBC Sports Bay Area and he's covered

471
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers for longer than I've covered the Cardinals,

472
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: and he said, I really don't think they overlooked the Cardinals.

473
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: I think because of what they have to play for

474
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: and what's on the line and it being a division thing.

475
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: He goes, I really don't think they're going to overlook it.

476
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not you know, I think back

477
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 1: and I know this is a long time ago, but

478
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: like the Vikings had a chance to get into the

479
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: playoffs in two thousand and three against the really bad

480
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals team, and they slept walk through that count, they

481
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: ended up biting them. I just don't see that happening.

482
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: There's true, that's true, and look, all they have to

483
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: do is look at recent history. Cardinals went to Santa

484
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: Clara last year or the backup quarterback Cole McCoy and

485
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: pounded on the forty nine ers. They ran for almost

486
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: two hundred yards in that game. Now they're not. You know,

487
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: they might not have James Connor this week. We'll see

488
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: about that. And he had a big game at the

489
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. But and since they opened Levi Stadium,

490
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have won six out of eight in Santa Clara.

491
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: In fact, when we you know, back in May, when

492
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: the schedule came out, I marked this down as a

493
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: home game. I actually said, well, you know what, they're

494
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: playing the forty nine ers in Mexico City, giving up

495
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: a home game, but they're playing whatever they play the

496
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: Niners in Santa Clara. That is a Cardinals hold game.

497
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: So it's a wash, and it's a home game for

498
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: you too, right, technically technically, well, see, that's why it's

499
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: a home game. Really, we'll see what the weather is like,

500
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: and Danny, it could be ugly down there. But it's

501
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: my first time at Levi Stadium. I've only been I've

502
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: been to San Francisco once and it was in August

503
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: and it was freezing. Again, we're not in San Francisco.

504
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: We're way far away. Okay, okay. It is quite a

505
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: different climate in San Jose, Santa clars. If the sun

506
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: was out, you could be upset because it would be

507
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: hotter than I'm not going to say any but yeah,

508
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: to be hot. It's rain is in the forecast every

509
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: single day. They're having epic rains as it is in

510
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: the forecast for Sunday. Yes, we'll see if it'll be

511
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: a sloppy track. Oh yeah, I got the boots, the

512
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: rains gear, I got the whole deal going. At least

513
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: it's a native. It doesn't matter, you know what. Look

514
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: as someone you're right, Darren, as someone who used to

515
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: sling the San Jose Mercury News Pauly paper boy back

516
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: in the day. I'd ride that stinking route bike right

517
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 1: through the rain every morning, over one hundred papers. Yo

518
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: on my on my on my paper rout boom, right

519
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: through the rain. The old man would not get up

520
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: and drive me when it was raining, just just a

521
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: driving northern California rain, and and the old man would

522
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: not get out of bed at four thirty. Actually I

523
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't either for the sixteen year old punk currently, so

524
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't hold that against him, actually, but yes, I

525
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: am accustomed to that sort of rain. There's no question

526
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,120
Speaker 1: I remember paper boys. My dad was a paper boy.

527
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: Did you just an accident on purpose, thought over one

528
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: hundred papers? Yell, did you just do that? Of course

529
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: we had to flex the over one hundred papers on

530
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: the route. You know, that's how I need shoulder surgery

531
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: for the third time in the last two years, because

532
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: throwing all those newspapers. Forget the baseball, it was throwing

533
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: those newspapers all those days. So as for who's going

534
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: to play for the forty nine ers in terms of

535
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: their skill positions, Deebo Samuel's missed the last three games,

536
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayut the a su guy. He's what forty four

537
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: yards away from a thousand yard receiving season. George Kildo

538
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: has already hit a career highwood nine receptions, nine receiving

539
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns so far this year. As for the Cardinals, yeah,

540
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: we'll see you. David Blow has at his disposal Hollywood Brown.

541
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: I'll have Hollywood Brown. He should, right, I mean, that's

542
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: Holly Brown's supposed to play all Yeah, you know what.

543
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: The chemistry obviously was different between Blow and Dortch versus

544
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: Trace McSorley and Dortch. So Blow likes tight end Trey

545
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: McBride though, yes he does absolutely, And Hollywood had a

546
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: great game six catches for six yards and a forty

547
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: yard pass interference drawn. So and uh, we're sort of

548
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: bearing the lead in some ways once again. JJ Watt

549
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: his last game, his last game, the last venue he

550
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: will cross off his list. He's never played a game

551
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: at Levi Stadium? Is this a big deal? I've heard

552
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: that stat now a couple of times. Is that a

553
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: big deal? Too? Years? However, I've been to all the stadium,

554
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I don't think it's that big

555
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: of a deal. Darren's just shrugging that off, you know whatever.

556
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: It's Uh, that's his flex. Yours was the hundred papers.

557
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: That's right. That's right, so you know everyone can judge

558
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: for themselves, which is the more important flex right there?

559
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: As for j J Watt, how can you not watch

560
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: the most recent episode of Hard Knocks and not think

561
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: the man has a future in media. Well, basically the

562
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: entire episode revolved around him, just him being miked up

563
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: and and just being snarky and cutting off and being

564
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, wise cracks and having a good time and

565
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: commentary and you know, pontifications with jj Watt, his thoughts

566
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: on Whife, interacting with teammates. You can't tell me he

567
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have a game plan. Where is going to end

568
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: up on somebody's network, TV airwaves real soon, I'd bet

569
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: every penny I have. I don't know that it would

570
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: be this year. I don't know that it would be

571
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: this year. It'll be interesting because JJ someone who takes

572
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: literally days off and I mean like very few days

573
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: off a year. So now he's going to have a

574
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: lot of days to fill his time. And we know

575
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: he's excited about spending more time with his family and

576
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 1: finding other hobbies. But I wouldn't be surprised if he

577
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: doesn't go into media at least like football wise for

578
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: a year or two. I think, just one taking that

579
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: time away of he's given so much almost every day

580
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: for twelve years, taking that time to mentally just kind

581
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: of figure out who you are outside of football. And

582
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: not only that, but I mean, I just feel like

583
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: from what we have heard from players wherever, whatever team

584
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: the three of us have covered of players who have retired,

585
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: is you almost have to force yourself to completely step

586
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: away for that first season because otherwise it's very difficult

587
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: in terms of watching or you know, being involved with

588
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: a team because you're not doing it anymore. And while yes,

589
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be in football shape because you're not working

590
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: out every day, you know, it can be hard, of

591
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: I know that I can still do it, and now

592
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. So I would imagine he takes

593
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: at least a year to really step away, create some space,

594
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: and then figure out what he wants to do until

595
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: somebody comes with him with an eight figure offer per year.

596
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I would tend to agree with you in

597
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: a vacuum, but if somebody really wants them, it's going

598
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: to be tough for him to Although if somebody's willing

599
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: to offer him eight figures in twenty twenty three, somebody

600
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: will be willing to offer him eight figures in twenty

601
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: twenty four. So maybe does work out, you know, however

602
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: that goes. But I do think he'd be really good.

603
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: But but we'll have to see how it plays out.

604
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: And because he's in the last year of his contract,

605
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: he would be an unrestricted free agent, absolutely right. I mean,

606
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: he'd be able to sign with if he if he

607
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: decides to come back, Yes, he'll be he could sign

608
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: anywhere anywhere. Yeah, Okay, So I did a Wolf's podcast

609
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: with his two brothers. One of whom his older brother Craig,

610
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: who's the Steelers radio analyst, And so there was speculation

611
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: there that JJ is gonna go join his two brothers

612
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: with the Pittsburgh Steelers at some point. Although it is

613
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: interesting the news came out before we did this that

614
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: the Cardinals did a little bit of paperwork with his

615
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 1: contract to help with the salary cap. And then I

616
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: saw another salary cap person go beyond that, and that

617
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: explanation was they they essentially turned next year a void year,

618
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: into a real contract here. If that's true, then technically

619
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: isn't a free agent anymore. Uh huh, So okay, so

620
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: that they can it has to do with being able

621
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 1: to work out because there's gonna be dead money from

622
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: JJ Watt's capit. So maybe he wouldn't go, But I

623
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: don't that's cool if you want to sign JJ Watt

624
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: second round pick the other thirty one teams second round pick.

625
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: I never he No, he doesn't strike me as somebody

626
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: who is going to go back on, especially since this

627
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: isn't like a spur of the moment. I mean, he

628
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: he's now he keeps talking about how like on hard knocks.

629
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: Now he's like I've known for a few months. I'm

630
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: beginning to think that if if the heart thing didn't

631
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: automatically change it, I'm beginning to think he went into

632
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: this season thinking this was going to be his last year. Maybe,

633
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, anybody watch Monday night football if

634
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: that didn't reinforce how important you know your health is,

635
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: how fortunate you are to play that game and come

636
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: away with your health at the end of your career,

637
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin. And by the way, going into this podcast,

638
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: there was an update from Buffalo Bill City had shown

639
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: quote remarkable improvement end quote. So let's hope it keeps

640
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: tracking that way. Obviously, three words that have been trending

641
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: all week long, not just across the NFL, but across

642
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: our country. Praying for Hammeling, Pray for Damar. And I

643
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: tell you, I don't know what your your reaction, guys

644
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: was when you saw it, and I did see it live,

645
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: and I thought of a couple of different things in

646
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Cardinal's history. I thought, when you saw the player's reactions

647
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: and those reactions or unlike anything I've seen. But the

648
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: closest that I've seen was at the Jets two thousand

649
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: and eight. That was the game where Brett Farve had

650
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: like five touchdown passes in the first half, six six total. Yeah,

651
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: and at the very end of the game, guess who's

652
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: still playing like it's a Super Bowl. A kuon Bolden.

653
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: He gets sandwiched in the end zone and somebody's helmet

654
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: came up under his mask and jacked his jaw and

655
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: he hits He's knocked out upon contact, goes to the

656
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: turf in the end zone, limp, and Larry took one

657
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: look at him. What Larry described later his blood just

658
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: gurgling out of ant Kuombolden's mouth because he had his

659
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: jaw broken, and Larry screaming into the sideline and waving frantically,

660
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: and right there you knew that was beyond the football injuries,

661
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: just Larry's reaction. And then you saw Q's mom and

662
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: girlfriend and or wife I forget at the time, come

663
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: down out of the stands at the Jets. So I

664
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: was reminded of that. And honestly, the ambulance on the

665
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: field is not a first in the NFL. Mike you

666
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Potty Seattle. It was funny. Kent Summers said, this is

667
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: he tweeted out, this is the first time I remember

668
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: seeing an ambulance on the field and I DMed him

669
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: and I said, no, Seattle, it came out from Mike

670
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: you potty, Yeah, and so and that was that was

671
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: a long delay in the game. There was a lot

672
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: of uncertainty with you potty. They strapped him too a backboard.

673
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: Well you know, he did have a neck injury. What

674
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: no one really knew, at least no none, those of

675
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: us on the sidelines didn't know. And you had to

676
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: get that game back on track. And that was a

677
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: itanic game as well. Twenty fifteen Stanton Dance. So, um, yeah,

678
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: it's uh, I tell you, it's see to me, there's

679
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: always that prospect injury. Right. How many times are your

680
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: players saying your next play could be your last play?

681
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: But that's in terms of your career, you know, when

682
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: it comes to life and death, when you're saying this

683
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: could be my last breath, and then that's I think

684
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: what rattled so many people. Yeah, and that on Monday

685
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: night football. So we'll see. Um, but the games are

686
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: all scheduled a week eighteen. It's going down as as planned.

687
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: Week eighteen is going as planned. And while as we

688
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: record this, there has not been any official resolution on

689
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: the Bills Bengals game, it seems like it's moving towards

690
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: they're just gonna call it a no contest or a tie.

691
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it'll be no contest. You just wouldn't count

692
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: it in the standings. And then one of the things

693
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: the NFL is apparently considering is giving the number one

694
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: seed the option of either having a buy or having

695
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: home field advantage, and then the number two seed would

696
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: end up with the choice that that team didn't take

697
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 1: interesting or you could also play the championship game on

698
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: a neutral field, which is something else they had talked about.

699
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see. All right, So going

700
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: full circle here on Cardinals Underground, back to your stinking

701
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: bingo cards, and the reason those came up was ostensibly

702
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: it was because of the New Year's Resolutions? Is that correct, Danny?

703
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: Is that where this talking about doing this longer than? Okay? Yeah, Well,

704
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: this was just something I've been saying, I feel like

705
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: for a couple months of whenever you bring up certain

706
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: things and I'm like, shoot, I should make a bingo card,

707
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: and I can't. I don't want to give specific examples

708
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: because some of those things may or may not be

709
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: on said Bingo card right now? Got but yes, we

710
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: This was one of my own New Year's resolutions, was

711
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: to follow through and actually make the Bingo card that

712
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: I kept talking about. There you go. Okay, all right,

713
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: so New Year's Resolutions twenty twenty three. Now these are

714
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: aren't your own because no, but you know, come on,

715
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: nobody cares a big resolution ary right to be honest,

716
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: who's going to get the ball rolling with offering resolutions

717
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: for others? I'm going to make a resolution for Danny.

718
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that she can get some of her I

719
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: hope that all of her game day outfits can be

720
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: her own and she doesn't have to rent them. That's

721
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: what I'm hoping for. She's you're employing that like she

722
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: goes to like a costume shop and rents it. Work? Hello,

723
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what is this rent own? What are we

724
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: talking about? It? Make it seemed like I I'm just

725
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: if I want it, if I wanted to buy my own,

726
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: I know, by the ways to take me explaining this. No,

727
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: the look on her face when you brought it up,

728
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean literally, her jaw just hit the hit the table.

729
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: I use a rental subscription service because being on camera

730
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: on game days and multiple times during the week for

731
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: all these other interviews. I want to avoid repeating outfits,

732
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: which might sound silly. As a guy who could wear

733
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: the same polo or same suit every week and nobody

734
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: would know the difference, it's not really the same as

735
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 1: a female in front of the camera. So it makes

736
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: more sense financially instead of spending all this money, I'm

737
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: buying all these clothes to repeat throughout the season. I

738
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: have staples that I wear. I do this rental clothing.

739
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: It's fair subscription and that allows me to rotate in

740
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: different clothing items to wear, so I'm not repeating things.

741
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: And that's what I typically wear on game day. And

742
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: for some reason Darren and Craigley, that's funny that like,

743
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a dress and then I'll send it back

744
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: and I'll get something else for next week. The sweater

745
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: that I did my Sideline Exchange interview this week was

746
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: Zach Allen was a rented sweater. It's not weird, they say,

747
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: I just it was a resolution that you could have

748
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: to thank you. They dry clean it before they send

749
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: it to you, and it's all It's a great idea.

750
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, what every great business does. Want it fills

751
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: a need, that fills a need. And now that she

752
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: mentioned it's funny, I've had this discussion with my wife.

753
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: My wife's like, I can't wear this. Why can't you

754
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: wear it? Well, I wore it like two weeks ago.

755
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, so, isn't it a different crowd you're

756
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: going in front of? Or if you're wearing it, that's

757
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: why you have clothes. I would guarantee you though, if

758
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: I wore the same outfits three or four times throughout

759
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: the season on interviews, there would be comments about it.

760
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: Not for me on social media. Really, people people are

761
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: keeping scored home on that. Let's let's let's be on

762
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: the people she's a female doing in sports. That would

763
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: probably be some of the more tame stuff she gets

764
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: on social media in terms of comments. Pretty fair, Well,

765
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: I don't dismiss You're right being a guy and not

766
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: having to worry about that. You know that's true. I mean, honestly,

767
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: the fact week ago, Jim Harboff, we want it and

768
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: just wear the same khakis and same I don't want to.

769
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: He's become a little bit of a punchline because of that. Yeah, yeah,

770
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 1: so I have a new year's results. Okay, here we go. Hey,

771
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: this is this is for the maintenance here at the facility.

772
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know we were extending our nearest resolutions that far. Paul.

773
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: It's all a team. This is all one big. Team

774
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: is what it takes, Paul. Team is what it takes.

775
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, at any point, anytime soon, feel free to

776
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: stripe the parking lot. I thought about that today. It's

777
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: fifty two card pickup out in the parking lot, people

778
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: taking up two three spots parking that it's just they're

779
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: not going to though, it was they don't want to

780
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: ruin the aesthetic of the book. So for those of

781
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: you who haven't been to the facility, it's the dark

782
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: red bricks and then it's like gray bricks that line

783
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: the spots. But it's very difficult to see the light gray,

784
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: especially if it's really bright or it's raining. And for

785
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: months when I started last year, I didn't know they existed.

786
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: And I would carpool with Grayson in our video department

787
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: because when I lived in my old apartment and we

788
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: lived by each other, and at one point I drove

789
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: us and I parked and we got out of the

790
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: car and She's like, you've got to be kidding, and

791
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: I was like what. She's like, you didn't even try

792
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: to park in the in the lines, and I thought

793
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: she was I was like, haha, very funny, like there

794
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: aren't lines, and she goes, you're being serious, like you

795
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: you can't see the bricks, And for months I had

796
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: no idea that the bricks were there as the lines.

797
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't see the bricks either. I mean, okay, I'm

798
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: partially color blind. I can still see the great bricks,

799
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: although I will. As Danny said about the Ring, like

800
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: it was pouring the other morning and I came in

801
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: here and I'm like, it's they're disappeared. They've disappeared. The

802
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: water has made every all the bricks one color. I mean,

803
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: are the bricks unlike the Historic Register of Places in

804
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: the America? I mean, this isn't Wrigley Field. Why do

805
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: we care about the aesthetics of the bricks. I'm just

806
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: restripe it. So there's there's my New Year's resolution for

807
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: someone else. That's good. Actually, I'll come out on a Saturday.

808
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: I'll stripe the stinking thing myself and the off season.

809
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: How about that? That's my offer? Be interesting my year's

810
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: resolution for Darren. Yes, what this is actually nice. This

811
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: would benefit you when when you when you actually free advice, yes,

812
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: free advice, when you actually take vacation days this year,

813
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: take vacation days. Don't open up slack, don't open up email,

814
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: don't respond to people on Twitter. Yeah, that's my new

815
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: year's resolution for you. That's a really really good resolution.

816
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: That's a really good one. I don't know if I

817
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: can hold to it, but it's a really good one.

818
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, Danny. You sound exactly like my wife. The

819
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: new year's resolution goes for you as well. See these guys, Danny,

820
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: you have to realize these guys will be the breath

821
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: far of their own retirement. They'll come back, you know,

822
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: three four times. They're not going to go quietly into

823
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: the night when it comes time for retirement. My year's

824
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: resolution for you, Elmo, for next season is to go

825
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: to sleep prior to four in the morning the night

826
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: before a game. Because I know you now know how

827
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: to schedule emails. So I'll never actually know if that's

828
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: true or not, but I can't. I do not like

829
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: waking up early on a game day to an email

830
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: from you about our radio shows. At four in the morning,

831
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: Almot I got. That makes me sad for you. My

832
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: resolution for Almo is that he just lunch at a

833
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: normal time. That too, Omo, You've got plenty resolutions. Take

834
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: a pack. Well. Having the near four year old kind

835
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: of puts me behind schedule sometimes, so I'll blame it

836
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: on her. We just want you to eat and sleep.

837
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: That's all that's true, all right, noted? All right? Any

838
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: other airing a grievances if you will. I have to

839
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: air a grievance, and I'm not going to tell you

840
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: what's on here because I think we should keep these

841
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 1: bingo cards for next week. But surprisingly you only got one.

842
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,959
Speaker 1: I was like these things that you say all the time. Well,

843
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit under the weather, so maybe I'm

844
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: not quite in game shape, you know, I'm not not

845
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: quite Why you why are you under the weather? Hi?

846
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: Don't don't. You're not allowed to do that. You're not

847
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: allowed to to to lead him into anything. We will,

848
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: We will not show you what's on here. We will

849
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: keep these cards for next Cardinal's underground and continue. There's

850
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: nobody who tries to stay healthier than Paul Calvici, and

851
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: there's no one who gets sick. You're right, what is

852
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: going on around here? What is going on? I don't know.

853
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: I am failing in that regard. I mean there's a

854
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of failures we get document, but that is that

855
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: is right there at the top of the tan. The

856
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: man efforts health big time and it just doesn't work.

857
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: What is going on? I don't get it, but I

858
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: do resent Darren trying to speak it into existence and

859
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 1: trying to lead me into something on his bingo card.

860
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: So you know, just for that, we're in in this
