1 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: Well that felt good, Actually, it felt awesome. Welcome Bird Gang. 2 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: There's nothing quite like beating the Seahawks, especially at home. 3 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: Given how rare has been on today's show, Game Balls, 4 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: there were four handed out last night by head coach 5 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingbury. We've got a couple more players that certainly 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: deserved the attention. Also, it was a very physical game. 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: The bye week is coming at the perfect time. It's 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two, Episode three thirty nine, and it starts now. 9 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with Craig Griga lew and 10 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki.

Murray rolls to 13 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: the right, throws near sight of Fritz Bob. He's into 14 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: the ends after the touchdown. Here's Craig Grielou and Mike Jarecki. 15 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: So much to like, MJ. Where do you begin in 16 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: a game like that where sixty minutes is not enough? 17 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: You ride the roller coaster. First half not good, second 18 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: app very good. At end of the day, Cardinals finally 19 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: get that monkey off their shoulders beating the Seahawks at home. Well, 20 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: I'll start with, you know, Russell Wilson, because let's be honest, 21 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been he's been in the throne the side, 22 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: at least in State Farm Stadium over the years. And 23 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: then you look at his numbers going into the game. 24 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: Nineteen touchdowns and only three interceptions. I mean, we're talking 25 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: a nice little sample there, even though they're coming off 26 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: a byway. And the fact that he made some mistakes, 27 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: and we'll go through some of the particulars and on 28 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: paper you could say Kyler Murray, I'll played him at 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: the end, they got the victory, and that's impressive. But 30 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: just the fact that he made some mistakes. He normally 31 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: don't see that from Russell Wilson. And then just all 32 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: the ebbs and flows of the game, you know, just 33 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals falling behind, and then you know, obviously they made 34 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: some adjustments at halftime according to Kingsbury, And the fact is, 35 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinals held them to seven points, and 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: that's really impressive considering they were down by ten seven 37 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: points and less than two hundred yards in the second 38 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: half and overtime combined. Considering the Seahawks had three hundred 39 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: and seventy seven yards and twenty seven points at halftime. 40 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: But to your points about Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson, 41 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: Murray out Wilson Russell Wilson in that contest, and there 42 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: are so many different numbers here, bird Gang, but a 43 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: couple I do want to point out just on how 44 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: how unique Sunday Night football was for the Arizona Cardinals 45 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: and really any NFL team won. Prior to last night, 46 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: NFL teams trailing by ten or more points with under 47 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: three minutes left in regulation had lost two hundred and 48 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: fifty five straight games, and the Cardinals trailed thirty four 49 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: twenty four in that contest and certainly did not look good. 50 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: And yet here they are with their first win of 51 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: the season against the Seahawks at home, and then with Wilson, 52 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: he had been thirty and oh when leading by ten 53 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: or more points at halftime and the regular season now 54 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: thirty and one. Yeah, I mean, like I said, that 55 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: was the biggest surprise for me. But again, you got 56 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: to give the Cardinals credit. I mean, Vans, Joseph, you know, 57 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people and a lot of 58 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: wasted hot air was spoken and I get it. I mean, 59 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: you're only judged on what you do in the field, 60 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: but you know the fact is they have better personnel, 61 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: they're winning games. Craig, you don't how I feel about 62 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: going on losing streams. You know how hard it is 63 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: to win in the NFL three in a row because 64 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: normally you don't host three in a row. And the 65 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: fact that the Cardinals went to New York, Okay, then 66 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: they went to Dallas, and now they're hosting Seattle. So 67 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: two of those three wins were on the road, and 68 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: this team has been more successful on the road than 69 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: they've been in the previous years. The conference. They got 70 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: four wins. They're two and on in the division, which 71 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: is remarkable. Even if you go four and two, I 72 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: still think you're so yeah, I mean, it's it's just 73 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: it's interesting, and I thought it was a signature win. 74 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, when you look at this 75 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,119 Speaker 1: offense and we keep hearing they're leaving plays on the field, 76 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: it's good to see that the national media now is 77 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: going to have to talk about the Cardinals. We always say, well, 78 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: they don't they don't get the best broadcasting crews. Well, 79 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: they had the number one crew in the last two weeks. Now, 80 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: circumstances dictated that, but they showed up and give those 81 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: twelve a few Seahawk fans, but that was the biggest 82 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: difference for me. We didn't have that Seahawk crowd because 83 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: momentum shifts in the way they played in the stadium 84 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: there they benefited from those fans where you know, the 85 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: Cardinal fans were losing, so it's hard to cheer your 86 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: team on. There were a few Seahawk fans, not a lot, 87 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: but there was a small percentage and that was to 88 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: be expected. But let's go back to what we discussed 89 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: last week, and I believe it was your phrasing force 90 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: everyone's hand as far as getting the national media to 91 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: talk about this team. And last week it was, oh, 92 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: what's wrong with the Dallas Cowboys and you couldn't have 93 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: any discussion about the Cardinals. That's not the case here 94 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: on this Monday, October twenty sixth. The talk is what 95 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray did with Vance Joseph did defensively and the 96 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: problems that the Cardinals provided to the Seahawks and now 97 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: five and two, penning that first loss on Seattle Hey 98 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: their second place in the division things look very very 99 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: good right now, five and two at the bye week, 100 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: and with more wins on the road than at home 101 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: through these first seven games. Yeah, and we pointed out 102 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: last night on the postgame show, they've already reached their 103 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: win total and that didn't happen until late December when 104 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: they beat the Seahawks. So it's it's just kind of 105 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: an irony or whatever. But yeah, I mean it's you know, 106 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't mean to be redundant, but you know how 107 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: I feel, it's like, scratch out at least five home wins. Now, 108 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: I'd love to see here and say go eight, No, 109 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: but that's not realistic. Other teams come in with momentum, 110 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: et cetera, better teams, and then I say, scratch out 111 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: some road wins and make sure you take care of 112 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: business in your division, in your conference. And unfortunately we're 113 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: going to look back into the Lions and Panthers, but 114 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinals right now are would be a 115 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: six seed, and you know, and they, you know, would 116 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: have to go on the road to a division to 117 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: a team that won the division. Getting ahead of myself, 118 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying it's so important to stack wins 119 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: avoid losing streaks and take care of business at home 120 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: and scratch out some road wins, and the fact that 121 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: they already have three is really impressive. Thirty seven thirty 122 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: four the final and overtime. By the way, that's the 123 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: only time last night that the Cardinals had a lead, 124 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: and when Zane Gonzalez had that ball go between the 125 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: uprights as time expired, So literally the Cardinals never led 126 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: until there were zeros on the clocks. That's the hole 127 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: that they dug themselves, being down ten nothing with six 128 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: minutes to go in the first quarter, and they kept 129 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: climbing and climbing, sometimes falling back, climbing and climbing until 130 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: they finally get over the edge and completely outs and 131 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: now able to celebrate a victory. You know, normally during 132 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: the game, I'll go to my app and I'll go 133 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: to ESPN gamecast and at the bottom of it, it it 134 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: shows you win probabbility and when they're and it's different. 135 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: I'll do it for other games, just you know, like 136 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: I did it for the Chargers last week. You know, 137 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: it's just kind of like because you know, I'm learning 138 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: more about analytics. But the fact is that when it 139 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: was twenty seven to seventeen in less than three minutes 140 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: ago in the game, it was almost like ninety seven percent. 141 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: And last week this guy put out a meme with 142 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: a guy running like a little emoji on the win 143 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 1: probability and just fell off the cliff. It's crazy, really, 144 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just something when they play this team. 145 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: What was the word that you know, the Arizona media, 146 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: you use it a lot. It's just weird. That's the 147 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: only way to explain this. Whether it's at State Farm 148 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: Stadium or essentially length field, these two teams, we know 149 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: home field advantage doesn't exist with or without fans, and 150 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: it just seems like they bring out the best in 151 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: each other. And sometimes the weirdness of it all because, 152 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, listening to Dave Patch and Ron Willfully that 153 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: entire first half, the Cardinals had no business even being 154 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: in the game, trailing by his only thirteen points and 155 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: that's only two scores, that's two possessions, two drives, Yet 156 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: it felt so much bigger as far as a deficit, 157 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: and Pash kept saying, hey, you know, you score here, 158 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: You're right back into it. And little by little, especially 159 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: in that third quarter, you get that touchdown run, you 160 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: pulled it within three and then you fall back by ten. 161 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: But the Cardinals were never out of it. It didn't 162 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: always feel that way, but they put themselves in position 163 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: to pull out a very improbable when if you look 164 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: at the totality of the entire contest, yet at the 165 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: end of the day, you know there's a couple of 166 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: plays here or there they go the other way. What 167 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: are we talking about here on this Monday. It's not 168 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: a victory Monday. We're dissecting the Monday and going, oh, 169 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: why did Cliff do this on fourth down? And what 170 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: are you doing icing your own kicker for a game 171 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: when you field goal? Those conversations there's still apart, but 172 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: they're a lot quieter here today we're gonna be talking 173 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: about a miss opportunity. You know, you knew what was 174 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: at stake. Yess are coming off of buye so they 175 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: people say they had two weeks to prepare. You're never 176 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: gonna get the game plan two weeks ahead. It gets 177 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: stay out. It's like the Super Bowl, you know. And 178 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: according to CBA rules, you have to look the players 179 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: off for four days Thursday through Sunday. I'm sure they 180 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: had a bonus day, but they they've had injuries, and 181 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: you wonder if Jamal Adams was on the field, just 182 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: like if you wonder if Chandler Jones is on the field, 183 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: is there a different outcome? So that that's how close 184 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: these teams played to the vest. But yeah, we would 185 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: have talked about big you know, you got to take 186 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: care of division games, you got to take care of 187 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: home games. It would have been the whole song and 188 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: dance about is this team ready to compete at a 189 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: high level? And I think they answered the bell. It 190 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: is a victory. Monday here on Cardinals cover two presented 191 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: by Honday probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Before we 192 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: kind of go back and really look at this game 193 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: as far as maybe some of the unsung heroes of 194 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 1: what happened on Sunday Night football, we do want to 195 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: update everyone with respect to the injuries that were certainly 196 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: a lot of them had coached. Cliff Kingsbury on more 197 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: than one occasion last night and then again today called 198 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: it a very physical matchup and then added, we're glad 199 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: that the bye week is happening now. Now off the top, 200 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: there are no updates as we speak here officially from 201 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: the head coach with respects to how many players got 202 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: hurt and what is the latest on those players? In particular, 203 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: Number one is running back Kenyan Drake, who left the 204 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: contest with four twelve to go, had to be carted 205 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: off into the locker room, suffered an ankle injury. But 206 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: right now we don't know how serious that ankle injury is. 207 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: We're only left with the visual and that is Drake, 208 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: very emotional crying and then a towel over his head 209 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: as he exited the field and down the ramp into 210 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: the locker room. Yeah, he was just you know, starting 211 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: to find his stride. And you know, I think we're 212 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: all in agreement, everyone listening, and we all think, Chase Edmins, 213 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: there's there's more opportunities, but there's a big difference in 214 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: getting the ball, you know, twelve to fifteen times a 215 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: game versus taking that pounding on eighteen rushes. And I'll 216 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: give our colleague Kyle Odegard because Cliff wasn't going to 217 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: get into the injuries. And again they're winning for the 218 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: MRI results and then you gotta make a decision. But 219 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: you look at the depth chart, Chase Edmonds, you wonder 220 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: Jonathan Ward, but he's a rookie undraft the free agent, 221 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: and then he got DJ Foster, who's, you know, kind 222 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: of a skill set like Chase. He can catch the 223 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: ball back a Philly plays on teams, and then you 224 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: know Benjamin on but he's kind of like Chase. So 225 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting if that's the case. But 226 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: we'll just wait and see. But one thing that we 227 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: learned in Cliff Kingsbury's offense, you need a bell coll 228 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: he realizes on the bell call last year. Go back 229 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: to Zack Center and Alfred Morris when they had injuries, 230 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: they won by committee. Now a C. Center was more 231 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: of a third down back, you know, Morris was more 232 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: of an inside the tackle run guy. But you and 233 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: I were talking before the show here and I think 234 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. Depending on the flow of the game 235 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: down in distance, you know, and you're not tipping your hand. 236 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: What you're gonna do, even though they don't throw the 237 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: ball to Drake in the open field, is ride the 238 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: hot hand. Once you start to figure things out, now 239 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: running backs are gonna tie. I need my touches to 240 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: get into rhythm. But I think we know what Chase 241 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: can do. Now, it's what those other guys can provide, 242 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: but hopefully Drake is going to be you know enough 243 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: to know heal a little bit here in the next 244 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: two weeks and then we'll go from there based on 245 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: the results. On the other side. Defensively, this team lost 246 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: three key players. Zach Allen got hurt rolled an ankle 247 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: and the first quarter came back, got called for a 248 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: penalty and then had to leave the contest. Jordan Phillips 249 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: hurt his hamstring, and then Jordan Hicks was not on 250 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: the field the final three possessions of the Seahawks, the 251 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: last one in the fourth quarter and then both of them, 252 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: and over time he was standing but without his helmets. 253 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: Kingsbury earlier today acknowledge that yes, Kicks was injured, but 254 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: didn't specify to what extent or even what the injury was. 255 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: But that is too defensive lineman plus your number one 256 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: inside linebacker, your quarterback of the defense. And without those 257 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: three players, this team was still able to get enough 258 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: plays made defensively and get the job done. So we're 259 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: waiting all of this as far as what's next for 260 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: this team. And also do want to mention that Isaiah 261 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: Irving had to be carted off and was actually put 262 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: on the board to be very careful with him as 263 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: far as the neck injury that he suffered late in 264 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: the first half. So keeping our fingers crossed right here, 265 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: and then once we know, then we can get into 266 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: the discussion of Okay, well, next man up, what does 267 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: this team do? Certainly, as we discussed the bye, we 268 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: could not have come at a better time considering the 269 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: number of injuries and just who got hurt in Sunday 270 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: Night football. Well, it was fascinating when Zach Allen got hurt. 271 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: Initially he was non contact and that's scary, and then 272 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: he started looking at the lower extremities achilles ankle, and 273 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: then he was checked out and he came back in 274 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: the game, and you know, you know they need him. 275 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: I think he's more physical. I watched him in some 276 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: of the drills before practice. He's got a great acceleration 277 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: off the ball. He could punch. I think he could 278 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: be a stand up linebacker in certain situations if you 279 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: don't want to put his hand to dirt. So yeah, 280 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's not ideal. Now, we always talk 281 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: about the bye week and Cardinals have been lucky over 282 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: the last few years. Usually was between week nine or 283 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: eight and ten, which is kind of the middle of 284 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: the season. I think the bye week starting four and 285 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: end in week ten. But Christian Kirk did so I 286 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: want to keep playing here, you know, when you win 287 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: three in a row. But when we look at the 288 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: roster and the injuries, you know, those team has been 289 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: just like any other team. They've been grinding and so 290 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, they do wear pads in practice. You're of 291 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: x amount of padded practices up until you know, at 292 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: the end of the season. So, I mean it does 293 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: come at a good time. But I know Kyle doesn't 294 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: believe in momentum. But this team, you know, if if 295 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: they're exactly what were watching in the last couple of games, 296 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: they should have no problem coming out of bye week 297 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, Kyle legarda AC Cardinals dot Com. 298 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: Do not ask him about momentum, Do not ask him 299 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: about clutch. He's very all about the numbers and what 300 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: they say on paper. But yeah, there are you can 301 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: always go back and forth. But to your point, you know, 302 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: when you're feeling good and you got that rhythm going, 303 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: you certainly don't want anything to disrupt it. Yet at 304 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: the same time, if you're missing a lot of these players, 305 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: these horses that got you this far, and all of 306 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: a sudden you gotta keep moving without them, that's when 307 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, we need to take a step back 308 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: and kind of collect ourselves and get healthy. And I 309 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: think that's why this week here comes at a great time. Yeah, 310 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: And you know, once they get off the bye week, 311 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll talk about, you know, over the 312 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: next couple of days for the Cardinals obviously get off 313 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: with their bye week, but you know, I'm sure that 314 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: the staff will self evaluate, they look at the roster, 315 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: where can we improve, what are areas of concern moving forward? 316 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: Because now after this it's a long haul, and we 317 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: know when you start to get to late November and December, 318 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: football gets a little bit different, more physical. Maybe the 319 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: defense start catching up. But they're in a good spot. 320 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: I think the offense can carry their water and the 321 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: defense can make plays like they have in the last 322 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: three games.

There were four game 329 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 1: balls handed out, Kyler Murray, Larry Fitzgerald, Isaiah Simmons, and 330 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Zaying Gonzalez. Now, honestly, MJ, you could have given a 331 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: game ball to basically everyone who suited up for that contest, 332 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: and even to the coaching staff as well, But for me, 333 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: just didn't seem enough. There were a couple more players 334 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: that I think we need to discuss because everyone knows 335 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: what Kyler Murray did. Everyone knows that Larry Fitzgerald hit 336 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: that fourteen hundred yard mark once again, helped spot the 337 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: football late in the first half or excuse me, the 338 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: second half, so he keeps doing all the little things, 339 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: and Isaiah Simmons coming up with a big interception perhaps 340 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: to the defensive play of the game, and then Zaying 341 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: Gonzalez with the game winner at Tony for his mistake 342 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: missing the forty one yard field goal in overtime. But 343 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: I've got a couple Maybe you agree or maybe you disagree, 344 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: but the first guy that I want to single out 345 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: is Chase Edmonds because he had five rushes in this contest, 346 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 1: all five after Drake left the game because of an 347 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: injury and still finished with almost sixty yards rushing, and 348 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 1: then you factor in what he was able to do 349 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: and the receiving game. Here's someone that has been a 350 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: dual threat as a running back and now, because as 351 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: we talked about with Drake's injury, goold where they'll be 352 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: the featured back with this team. Yeah, I mean, I 353 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: don't want to start forecasting or foreshadowing, but you know, 354 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: depending on the contract situation with Drake, it wouldn't surprise 355 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: me if the Cardinals feel like, you know, Chase Edmonds 356 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: could be part of the future, and you know, you 357 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: know how I feel. I mean, you're watching the game. 358 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: And again I want to be fair to the process though, 359 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: because you know, Drake, he was averaging seventeen five touches 360 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: per game carries actually carries because he's not really being 361 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: targeted into passing game. And when he gets twenty carries 362 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: per game, the team has a successful records. So he 363 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: got I mean, he was he was turning in the 364 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: right direction, and he was treading to where he was 365 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: he was getting to that second level and making these 366 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: big runs. But again, I just I agree with you. 367 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: Chase stuff definitely is kind of a I think somebody 368 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: called the postgame show last night, and I think he'd 369 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: better hit it right in the head. He said, he's 370 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: a spark plug of this offense. He had twelve total 371 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: touches in last night's contest, ten though in second half 372 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: and overtime. And in those ten total touches, five rushes, 373 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: five receptions, one hundred and twenty four yards. Of those 374 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: ten touches, seven went for first downs and six covered 375 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: at least ten yards. That is a playmaker, no god. 376 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: And you know, as he mentioned last time, he worked 377 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: so hard in the offseason and they all do. And 378 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: again I do follow a lot of these Cardinal players 379 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: on social media, whether they're on the beach, whether it 380 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: was in Florida, running the same and just getting stronger. 381 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: Guys that made makeshift workouts in their in their garage 382 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: or maybe their office. M Pipate Murphy's in that same conversation. 383 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: But you know, these young guys, they stick together. Murray, 384 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: Chase Sherfield, Murphy. You know, Patrick is more the elder statesman, 385 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: and he's married and has kids. Those guys are a 386 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: little bit different, but it's just when you put the 387 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: work in, you get rewarded. And you know, he's a 388 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: guy that I just think he's really fluid. Sometimes I 389 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: don't think that they can see him behind the line, 390 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: and he's really effective in the passing game. And you know, 391 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: we see teams weekly run that crossing routes and those 392 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: drag routes, and I wish the Cardinals would incorporate that 393 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more because to me, it's it's a 394 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: high percentage throw. Once you face the defensive back, meaning 395 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: you run in front of him, it's almost if you 396 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: got to catch it. Unfortunately, Darrell Daniels didn't catch it. 397 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: He had a bad night, But you know, I'd like 398 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: to see that. But I just think Chase is versatile 399 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: and he can bring a lot to the table. So 400 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: he's got a bright future in the NFL. He had 401 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: eight targets, which was the same number as DeAndre Hopkins. 402 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: Both those players led the team in number of targets, 403 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: and Edmonds after the ball game quote, you work like 404 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: that for opportunities like this, because as much as we've 405 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: talked on this show about Edmonds getting more time, more 406 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: opportunity more touches. I think we've done it now twice 407 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: through the first seven games this season, and every time 408 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: it's because of what he's done. Yet, if you're giving 409 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: him more touches, you're taking those touches away from mc 410 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: kenyan Drake, who certainly operates when he has more touches. 411 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: When you get to those ten eleven, twelve touch range, 412 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: those kind of running backs, they get better as the 413 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: game goes on. He's an unbelievable talent. And you think, 414 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: now with or without Kenyan Drake, moving forward, this team 415 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: needs to find a way to get Chase Edmonds on 416 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: the field, whether that's in the backfield or lined up 417 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. You know, Craig Yield Chicken versus 418 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: the AGA analogy year Quite frankly, the way this offensive 419 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: line is blocking in past protection and run protection and 420 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, we have to include him as part of 421 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: the rushing attack. I don't want to say it doesn't 422 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: matter because we watched David Johnson, you know, run into 423 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: piles and he wasn't breaking tackles. He was he wasn't 424 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: a deciphive, decisive in his route run. And well, he's 425 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: really good and route running, but his runs. But I mean, 426 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you can put anybody back there, but 427 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: half the battles obviously learning the system and then letting 428 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: the offensive line do their work. And you know the 429 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: fact that they're really good and pass protection, but they 430 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: have vastly improved in the run game. So you know, 431 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to devalue these guys because 432 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: it takes to tangle on that. It's it's really you 433 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: got to be in sync, but you gotta let your 434 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: line get out in block for you. So you've got 435 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: some holes. But what Sean Kugler's done, it's really plug 436 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: and play. I mean, they've had different backs here. You know, 437 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: again David Johnson didn't fit their running style and he's 438 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: running the same way probably in Houston, which is unfortunate. 439 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: But we're focusing on the Cardinals here. But I just 440 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: wonder if they can plug and play a guy they're 441 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: all a little bit different though. Obviously want to relying 442 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: guys that have experienced and they're consistent when they get 443 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: on the football field. Way to lead me into my 444 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: next set of players, And if I can have a 445 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: football and divide it into five that's the offensive line, 446 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: because it's been the last couple of weeks, but none 447 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: more than last night's forty eight pass attempts by Kyler Murray. 448 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: He was not sacked, he was not even hit. You 449 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: have to go all the way back to two thousand 450 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: and seven, December twenty third, two thousand and seven, Kurt 451 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: Warner was the back fifty two pass attempts. That was 452 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: the last time the Cardinals allowed no sacks and a 453 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: game that had at least forty five pass attempts. Now, 454 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: next Gen Stats win a little deeper into the numbers 455 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: with respects to the offensive line protecting number one, Kyler 456 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: Murray was pressured on only one of the forty eight 457 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: dropbacks two point one percent. It's the lowest rate against 458 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: any quarterback and a game with at least fourteen pass attempts, 459 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: And according to Next Gen Stats, Murray has been the 460 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 1: least pressured quarterback in the NFL this season at just 461 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: over ten percent. That's an unbelievable job by the offensive line. 462 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: Plus you have to give credit to Murray for his escapability, 463 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: his mobility to elude the rush, elude the pressure. Yet, 464 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: and we talked about it on Friday justin Peught and 465 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: had a big fan of the analytics and all these 466 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: people that aren't in the rooms with these offensive line. 467 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: And yet this is incredible what these five players have done. 468 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: Not world beaters, but collectively as a unit. Justin Murray 469 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: filling in for j R. Sweezy, this is a solid, 470 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: solid offensive line. You know, let's take a thirty thousand 471 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: view here. If you were at to ask a let's 472 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: go a medium member. Because if you're covering a team, 473 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 1: you usually covering the league because you do play. You know, 474 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: obviously certain teams every single year. When you think about 475 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: the Colonel offense, do you think it's still the air 476 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: raid offense because they like to go four wide and 477 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: that's and that really is misleading this team. If they 478 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: had their choice, they would run the ball sixty percent 479 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: of the time and throw at forty percent. Now, obviously, 480 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: if you're trailing, you can't do that. But for us 481 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: to follow the team and watch the team closely, there 482 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: first a running football team. You know how I feel 483 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: passing league, but the run sets up the pass. They 484 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: have the number two rushing offense and the league, I'm 485 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna say it again, they have the number two rushing 486 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: offense and the league which goes against everything. When Cliff 487 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: Kingsbury first arrived on the scene, that it was going 488 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: to be four wide, five wide, We're just gonna throw 489 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: the ball every single down, no matter what the distance 490 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: is or where we are on the field. And that's 491 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: not been the case since Week five of last season. Yeah, 492 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know what Sean Coogler's making, but I'm 493 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: sure he's one of the highest paid offensive line coaches 494 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: in football. What a great hire. And you know, I 495 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: trust fans Joseph, but again, you know he's putting players 496 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: in position to make plays. Last night, putting tenor Ofvalho 497 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: in there, and Cliffs said, tener vlahoesn't get a lot 498 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: of reps in practice. He's just he's that steady guy. 499 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: Not gonna really philp a statuet. But Cliffs said today 500 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: that if he doesn't make that stop, the game's over. 501 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: And so I don't know where you're going next, but 502 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the guys on defense. Then 503 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: you're doing great here on this victory Monday. You're giving 504 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,239 Speaker 1: me one assist after another because Tanner Vallejo and the 505 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: defense is where I was headed next and specifically Vallejo 506 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: the playing question. You're mentioning third and two at the 507 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: Seattle thirty four Carlos Hide. This is fourth quarter Carlos 508 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: Hide stopped gain by Tanner Vallejo, who had three tackles 509 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: on that drive, and that's because Jordan Hicks was not 510 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: in the contest. Vallejo finished with three tackles, playing eighteen snaps. 511 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: So you're talking about next man up, someone that we 512 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: haven't talked a lot about, someone who's more known for 513 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: his special teams play. Did get a run at inside 514 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: linebacker late last season because Hassan Reddick just was not 515 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: able to handle that position. And here he comes at 516 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: a moment's note and all of a sudden, all you know, 517 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: Valeo gets to tap on the shoulder, Hey, get out there. 518 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: The biggest point of the ball game, you can argue 519 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: right there, and he comes up with the huge stop 520 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,239 Speaker 1: to get Seattle to punt. The football Cardinals takeover at 521 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: their own twenty with fifty two seconds left, no timeouts, 522 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: and Kyle Murray does the rest to put Zane Gonzalez 523 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: in position to kick the game time field goal. You know, 524 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: I can't remember. It may have been Seth Joyner when 525 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: he was playing here, and he was a guy you 526 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: better make sure you knew you're asking him when he 527 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: went to his locker, because it was like Buddy Ryan 528 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: West Coast and they love Buddy. I get it. Clyde Simmons, 529 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: Andre Waters, Terry Hoage, but he said, sometimes when you 530 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: look at a team, you're only as good as your backups. 531 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: Now we always talk about next man up. We know 532 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: that you're not going to replace Chandler Jones, but they're 533 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: doing that by committee. And Laho really smart football player, 534 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: I'm tough. You gotta see the way he practice is 535 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: in the open portion, hitting the bags. He could see it. Again, 536 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't get a lot of reps. So I tend 537 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: to agree with that. You know you're only as good 538 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: as your backups, because we know it's a physical sport 539 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: and it's a lot of guys are not even one 540 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: hundred percent right now, let alone going through some Nixon 541 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: and bruises and maybe something or more severe. So this 542 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: is what Steve Kimon, And you've got to get the 543 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: coaching staff because again the staff goes to the scouts 544 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: in the front office and said, this is our wish list, 545 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: this is who you think can play in our system, 546 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: and then they bring him in and now you've got 547 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: to coach him up. You know, this is what you wanted. 548 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: Maybe and maybe player A or B or C that 549 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: they get, but this is what you want it, and 550 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: so coaching matters. I mean, David ry and Jerry Sullivan, 551 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: we don't talk about them enough. I mean, I don't 552 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: want to see him Andy Zabella drop a ball like that. 553 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: It's it seems like he was making progress. But now 554 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: when they throw it to him, like he better catch it, 555 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: you know, because he's part of that, they go for wide. 556 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: And obviously I think Christian Kirk brings a different element 557 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: to this team. But yeah, I mean I think sometimes 558 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: you're only as good as your backups. And Justin Murray's 559 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: a prime example. And Josh Jones is getting a little 560 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: run there. When you look at Vallejo and not the 561 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: most athletic, he certainly doesn't measure up to, and as 562 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons, who certainly is a specimen. But Kingsbury used 563 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: the word instinctive when talking about Vallejo, and that's just 564 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: a matter of study, that's a matter of experience and 565 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: knowing where you're supposed to be because you've watched the 566 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: other team's offense. You know their plays, maybe better than 567 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: they know them themselves, and you can be in position 568 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: to make the tackle as he was able to do 569 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: on that third and two stops. Sometimes instincts and that's 570 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: hard to measure. What do we hear from Steve come 571 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: when he's trying to evaluate players. You don't know what's 572 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: in their head, and he don't know what's in their heart. 573 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: You can look at film and know, this guy runs 574 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: this forty, this guy benches this much weight, Yet what 575 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,959 Speaker 1: Tanner Ballejo? And there are a lot of players across 576 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: the league that have survived with less than five star talent, 577 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: if you will, and have made a great living at 578 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: this game that we love. Look look at Zeke Turner. 579 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: When I look at his physical attributes, I'm surprised that 580 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't get a little run there. But again day 581 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: he went out and spend good money on Campbell. He's 582 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: played well, he's he's had some mistackles, but it happens. 583 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: Hicks has had some mistackles. But I look at Zeke 584 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: Turner and look what he's carving out. And they go 585 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: back to Valejo. The Cardinals claimed him last year when 586 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: they had that first waiver or claim. And you know, 587 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: besides Jonathan Buller, who I noticed on the Seahawks side 588 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: last night, Charles Washington go to Chuck. You look at 589 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: Kevin Peterson, Tarner of lajo so and again the Cardinals 590 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: had Valejo in before and they brought him back. So 591 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: it's nice to see some guys get some success. But 592 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: I definitely think he deserved a game ball, and I 593 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: know Isaiah that's probably more of a confidence thing, but 594 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: he didn't make an athletic play. Quite frankly, the receivers 595 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: didn't had any idea that Russell Wilson was being pressured. 596 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: Usually when that happens, you have a hot rot. In 597 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: other words, you just cut off your route and turn around. 598 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: Nobody had their head turned around to see the ball coming. 599 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: But he made the play and that's the beauty of 600 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: being in the right spot at the right time. I 601 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: thought his eyes were perfect, and the fact that he 602 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: was able to possess the ball and then try to 603 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: get a couple of yards, So that's something he can 604 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: definitely build from. Quick note on Simmons getting the game ball, 605 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: and if folks haven't seen the video, getasy Cardinals dot 606 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: com because I think it shows just how much his 607 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: teammates appreciate Isaiah Simmons and the work that maybe we 608 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: don't know about off hours, off the field, learning, trying 609 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: to work his way out onto the field, and yet 610 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: really hasn't found a home. He only played five defensive 611 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: snaps and number five was that interception that he had 612 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: last night. But the joy and everyone sharing and laughing, 613 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: they were so happy for Simmons to finally show up. 614 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: If you will, they see it. But now they understand 615 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: that the fans can recognize the work and the talents 616 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: of an Isaiah Simmons. Yeah, and you know, I know players, 617 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: they're going to give the player the benefit of the 618 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: doubt when you ask questions about them, and a lot 619 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: of times are better off asking the head coach because 620 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: you know, we all see what's going on. But every 621 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: time we ask about him, whether it was Hicks or Campbell, 622 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: they said, he's a guy that's willing to learn, like 623 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: he's putting the time in. And then Patrick's I guess 624 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: i We're gonna quote from Patrick. He said to him, Hey, 625 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: just be ready for your opportunity. Just be ready, And 626 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: here he was ready, and if Hicks is in the 627 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: game and the wave of Lajo was playing, maybe maybe 628 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: Simmons isn't at the game because the game is on 629 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: the line. But I think when you look at it, 630 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: that's got to be a huge confidence boost for him 631 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: saying I can make plays. I may not make every play, 632 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: and I may not get the opportunities, but I always say, 633 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: when you get your opportunity, you better make that bell ring. 634 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: And he was able to ring that bell last night. 635 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: Kingsbury on Simmons quote, you saw tonight the ability he 636 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: has and to make that play and that situation was huge. 637 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: It will do wonders for him moving forward. End quote. 638 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: And I think that speaks a lot. One more player 639 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: I want to single out, and we always talk about 640 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: five star players showing up, and this is a five 641 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: star player did not get a game ball. But we 642 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: talk about Patrick Peterson and there's maybe Bay in a 643 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a love hate relationship with number twenty 644 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 1: one of the last couple of seasons. I'm just as 645 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: guilty as the fan base because you get frustrated sometimes 646 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,919 Speaker 1: with Peterson on what he does, what he says. Yet 647 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: he has shown up now in each of the past 648 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: two weeks Money Night Football and Sunday Night Football what 649 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: he was able to do to the Cowboys wide receiver corps, 650 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: whether it was Amari Cooper or Ceedee Lamb. And then 651 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: last night, how many times did we talk about DK 652 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: Metcalf and this the explosiveness that he has when he 653 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: catches the ball. It's the deep shots, it's the run 654 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: after the catch. Twenty two and a half yards he 655 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,919 Speaker 1: averaged per reception, which was tops in the NFL. Yet 656 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 1: he only had two catches on five targets for twenty 657 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: three yards. And I'll reference next Gen stats one more time. 658 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: They accounted for Patrick Peterson shadowing Metcalf on forty two 659 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: of forty nine routes and Peterson allowed one catch for 660 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: six yards with an interception on four targets. Yeah, going 661 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 1: into the game, Hopkins was averaging like one hundred point 662 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: two yards per game and he was at ninety nine. 663 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: He's been their go to guy. I mean, I don't 664 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: know if they win that previous game without him him. Um, 665 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: he did have a big drop. I think Lockett had 666 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: a big drop at the end of the game previously 667 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: against the Vikings. I want to say, but yeah, it's 668 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just I mean, like I said, I 669 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 1: I just like and I asked Cliff and he didn't 670 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: really elaborate, But it just seems like from week one, 671 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 1: different guys step up that we don't talk about. But 672 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson obviously he's got to shut down that number 673 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: one guy every time. But I'm glad you brought up 674 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: the last couple of games. And you know they've only 675 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: given up two one hundred yard games to wide receivers 676 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 1: this year. That continues. They now, Locket did give up 677 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: a quarterback over three hundred yards and that wasn't gonna 678 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: last forever. And I thought going in, once you get 679 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: to bigger competition, and he's talking about the MVP of 680 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: the league, and in Lockett's probably one of the most 681 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: underrated players in the league. I mean what he does. 682 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Doug Baldwins was a bad man when he 683 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,720 Speaker 1: was there, and Lockett's kind of taken at the time, tough, 684 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: runs great routes and probably there the guy they trust 685 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: the most besides Metcalf along down the lines. But yeah, 686 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: I give Patrick Peterson credit. He's motivated. U. I know 687 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: this is the revenge tour, but I like the fact 688 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: that he's stacked, you know, really gained I would say 689 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: the last three games, and I want to say it 690 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: was Crowder got some some receptions, but at that point 691 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: it was junk time and they were just trying to 692 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, pad Joe Flacco stats. They weren't even trying 693 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: to run the ball. They were throwing it. So yeah, 694 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: and they were much better team, not stating the obvious. 695 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: When Patrick Peterson's playing at a high level, and you 696 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: know what's even better physicality. He went down and had 697 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: a couple of tackles and normally, you know, a lout 698 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: DBS maybe it starts with dion U and Nias. At 699 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: times they had a manador defense. They just wanted to 700 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,439 Speaker 1: kind of slow you down. But he put his nose 701 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: in there and he made some good tackles last night. 702 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: So that's really encouraging the fact that again every one 703 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: has to put their hand in the pile. And you're 704 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 1: starting to see that because when you're winning, you feel 705 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: like you're contributing four tackles, an interception, and two passes 706 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: defense for Peterson last night, and I colast the Peterson 707 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: haters are going to point to the first play of 708 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: the ball game Tyler Lockett beats Peterson for a thirty 709 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: four yard reception, and then there was the second Lockett 710 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: touchdown against Peterson forty seven yards. But if you really 711 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: want to look at that play and really examine and 712 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: take an unbiased view, one Peterson had great coverage. Two 713 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: unbelievable catch by Lockett, three and even greater throw by Wilson. 714 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: And I don't know how many quarterbacks in the league 715 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: that would even attempt that throw knowing that twenty one 716 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: is covering their best wide receiver. Yeah, and I don't 717 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: know what covers you are in. I really don't, you know. Again, 718 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: I don't like when guys point to another player. I mean, 719 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: Carrie Roads did that, and that didn't go well in 720 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: the locker room. You don't want that. I mean, didn't 721 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: show up a player on the field. You can do 722 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: it on the sidelines, you know, out of sight, out 723 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: of mind, so to speak. But yeah, like I said, 724 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: I just know how motivated he is. And again we 725 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: didn't even say Jellen Thompson, but that secondary you get 726 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: Banjo out there in Buddha, Deonte Thompson. He's another guy 727 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: that's vastly improved, not afraid to tackle, you know, there's 728 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: times he's going to give up some players, but hopefully 729 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: everything's in front of him. But you know, I really 730 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: like that secondary. They're settling down and you've got to 731 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: give Marcus Robertson and Greg Williams credit back there because 732 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 1: it's all about technique. We listened to Byron Murphy and 733 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, Kirkpatrick, he got picked on last night and 734 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: he's been dealing with some injuries. He's missed a little 735 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: bit of practice time. But I like the way he plays. 736 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: He's physical, he's got some swag to him. He's not 737 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: going to back down from any matchup, and I think 738 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: that's contagious with those guys in the secondary well, as 739 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: we hear from bench Joseph all the time, and it 740 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: was all of last year when we kept harping on 741 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: the tight end and he looked to be like, look, 742 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: you can't stop everyone. Yet what the Cardinals did last 743 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: night is you held the Seahawks ground game in check 744 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,479 Speaker 1: outside of Russell Wilson. But how many of those runs 745 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: were because he had no one to throw too, and 746 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 1: he was trying to make something out of nothing. Dk 747 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: Metcalf was a non factor, So you look, all right, well, 748 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: that leaves Tyler Lockett certainly did go off fifteen catches 749 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: for two hundred yards and three touchdowns. But this is 750 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: the number one scoring offense with arguably the best quarterback 751 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: in the league. Right now, I didn't expect this defense 752 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: to shut out Seattle or hold them to ten points 753 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: or even twenty points. This was going to be a 754 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: shootout and it was. The Cardinals defense allowed Seattle to 755 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: score on five of the first six drives, five of 756 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: the first six. They only had one touchdown one score 757 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: on their last six drives of the game last night. 758 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: So you talk about it the two halves, that's your 759 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: tail right there. Well, we are hoping for a shootout 760 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: in Dallas, and obviously the Cardinals held up to their 761 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: in the bargain and we pointed out, you're gonna have 762 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: to be able to run the football, protect the ball, 763 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: and try to eliminate some of those chunk plays. But um, 764 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: when you look at it overall, I mean, the fact 765 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: is that you know when you when you win the 766 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: turnover battle, I mean in the way that the Cardinals 767 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: were moving the ball. Um, that that to me is 768 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,479 Speaker 1: and we we've been on the other side this year 769 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: when you when you turn the ball over, you're probably 770 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: not gonna win. And the history says if you're minus three, 771 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: um probably got to maybe a ten twenty fifteen percent 772 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: chance of winning. So turnovers and they come in bunches, 773 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: and his team over the last couple of weeks they 774 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 1: have their first and turnovers Bird Gang.

MJ. 780 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: We covered a lot of ground, yet I only think 781 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: we scratched the surface. With respect to last night's contest, 782 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: one more stat because you brought it up and it 783 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 1: reminded me. With respect to the takeaways. Russell Wilson three 784 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: interceptions through five games, three interceptions last night alone. He 785 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: had attempted two hundred and fifty one consecutive past attempts 786 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: without an interception against the Cardinals at State Farm Stadium 787 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: before he was picked off by Buddha Baker and the 788 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: second quarter. Yeah, like I said, it's kind of like 789 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: the Rams and Cardinals since Sean mcvazer. Somebody's been the 790 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: hammer and somebody's been the nail. Hopefully that changes. But 791 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks and is the forty nine ers 792 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: are playing soon here, so you know correct, Yeah, I 793 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: mean it's yeah. I just think when you're able to 794 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 1: control certain areas of the game, it's really going to help. 795 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 1: But I'm just amazed, like how well this team runs 796 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, I really am Craig. But we'll 797 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 1: stay on focus here. But there were so many little 798 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,879 Speaker 1: ebbs and flows of that game. Now Glennsburry is taking 799 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 1: responsibility for the time out. What were your thoughts? Do 800 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 1: you think they should have went forward? Or do you 801 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 1: put points on the board and then taking points off 802 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: the board down? I thought and listen Passion wolf Ley 803 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: and listening to Passion on local radio today on ninety 804 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: eight seven some of his highlights. He's fantastic. But I 805 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 1: thought wolf bought up a really good point instead of 806 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 1: settling for the field goal. It's harder to get a touchdown, 807 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: and that is an excellent point because they're like, you 808 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: take the points because the touchdown you gotta go you 809 00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: gotta go to length of the field. At least on 810 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: a field goal, you can probably try to get forty 811 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: eight yard or like they did. Um so that that 812 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: I mean again, I think play calling is a little 813 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: misleading if if we know the end, we know the results. 814 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 1: It's hindsight, but it's all about an execution. But there 815 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: were a couple, you know plays, You're thinking, all right, 816 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: what are they thinking here in certain situations based on 817 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: down and distance? What were your thoughts? It's hard to 818 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: take points off the board. But I agree with Ron 819 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 1: Wolfley in that case that you want to try to 820 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: get the touchdown first and foremost. Because you can kick 821 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 1: along field goal, you don't need as much time as 822 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: much yardage. Now, if you were saying about the time 823 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: out situation and over time it was second and fifteen, 824 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: you had still over three minutes left to go, I 825 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: get kicking the field goal early, especially if there's a 826 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: bad snap. You yes, this was second and fifteen, you 827 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: sertainly be able to run another play. Now. I think 828 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: there was some panic on the sidelines because the play 829 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: clock had expired, so they want to get a time 830 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: out as opposed to pushing the zame Gonzalez back from 831 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 1: a forty one yard or to a forty six yard 832 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: or yet maybe you do accept the penalty, or you 833 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: do accept it and then run a play. At the 834 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: same time, there's got to be some fault to the 835 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 1: holder as well, because his eyes are on the play clock, 836 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: he's signaling to the snapper, get me the ball. So 837 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: there was a lot of blame to go around. Luckily 838 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: we're not dissecting that for an entire show here on 839 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two. As Kingsbury mentioned again here today a 840 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: learning experience and it won't happen again. Yeah, I mean, 841 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, Zame Gonzalez has shown that he can make 842 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 1: those long kicks. Now, no kicker in the NFL's perfect, 843 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,839 Speaker 1: you know, forty one and forty six. I mean when 844 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: they're rushing you. Yeah, I mean those aren't chip shots. 845 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, again, you live and learn. But I also 846 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 1: think you know one thing about Kingsbury, he is consistent 847 00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 1: when it comes to going for that on fourth down. 848 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: You're never going to roll snake eyes. I mean, if 849 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: we're sitting here at the end of the season, they're 850 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: seventy five on fourth down, that's really good. He's an 851 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: aggressive play caller. And if you don't like it, I'm sorry, 852 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 1: bird Gang. Just just who he is. That's who your 853 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,479 Speaker 1: head coach is right now. You better get used to it. Yeah, 854 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 1: and there were certain points in the game where I 855 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 1: thought he had the advantage over Ken Norton. And you 856 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 1: know the Cardinals when they go to that hurry up 857 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 1: offense or up tempo, not necessarily you know, getting on 858 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 1: the ball. Now, there are times they'll do that because 859 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: you don't want to obviously substitute, you don't want to 860 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: bring in different personnel. They're getting winded at the end 861 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: of the game. Just we've seen it now numerous times, 862 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,320 Speaker 1: just based and the Cardinals ran a ton of offensive plays, 863 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: a ton of them. Cardinals ran eighty one plays the 864 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 1: Seahawks eighty two. Yeah, and that and that's what happens 865 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 1: when you play seventy minutes, you know. I mean, it's 866 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,919 Speaker 1: not an extra quarter, but it's a couple of extra 867 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: processions on both sides of the ball. So yeah, I'm 868 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,399 Speaker 1: sure those guys are not feeling really well, but when 869 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,040 Speaker 1: that eight comes up, they're going to say he won 870 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 1: the game. Well, we're feeling great here on Cardinals cover too, 871 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: because we're talking about a win heading into a bye week, 872 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: and that certainly beats the alternative, because otherwise it would 873 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 1: have been a long week, two weeks heading into that 874 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 1: Miami contest in week nine. Well, it's just you want 875 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: to you want to show your players in the locker 876 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 1: room that hey, they can compete with any team. And 877 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, I know the Niners were banged up. Look 878 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: how the Niners are playing. They don't look like they're 879 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: missing to beat all those injuries. They went on a 880 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 1: road and beat them in Week one, and then to 881 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: get a quality went at home against a very conteam, 882 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: the only young beaten team in the NFC going into 883 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,720 Speaker 1: that game, and they are you know, he's probably the MVP. 884 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 1: You know, we'll wait and see, because you don't win 885 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 1: the MVP in September and October, you win in November 886 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 1: and December. And I think Carson Palmer attists to that. 887 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: And Cam Newton was having that great year. So but yeah, 888 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: I mean again, if you'd told me he was going 889 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 1: to turn the ball over three times, I would have 890 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: said when, I would have said, you're talking about both 891 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: games combined, one here and two up there or vice versa. 892 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: I did not see that coming and to me, he 893 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 1: made some mistakes we normally don't see from Hoodini and 894 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: the Cardinals capitalized and right now they are two and 895 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: oh inside the NFCUS, without question, the toughest division in 896 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: all of football. And on that note, we will put 897 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 1: a lid on this edition of Cardinals Cover two, presented 898 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 1: by Hunday, proud partner of the Eros on the Cardinals. 899 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: We will certainly have a lot more to say throughout 900 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 1: the week about this contest and of course about the 901 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: division itself through Week seven, heading into Week eight special 902 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 1: Thanks to our executive producer Jim I'm a Hundre or 903 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki. I'm Greg rail Loup. We'll talk to you 904 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: next time they're on Cardinals Cover two
