00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: Swam to the ground by Pooda Baker like a torpedo,

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: he came flying into the backfield. Hey Sack, it's halais Hamble.

Speaker 3: to catch it a touchdown, Here's Craiggrayelou All Calvic and

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: Danny Sireg.

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: So something really big needs to happen for us to

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: move this show off its traditional Tuesday eleven AM spot.

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: And something did happen on Tuesday, something big, something maybe

17
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: perhaps season franchise changing, Maybe Michae Lafleur officially introduced as

18
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: the Cardinals new head coach. That happened on Tuesday, and

19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: that's why Paul we are here on Wednesday. Plus it

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: gives us a reason to bring in Danny sirek here

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: on the Red Sea report.

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 4: Well, that's reason enough right there. Just we fit around

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: Danny's schedule, So that might have been one aspect of it.

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 5: I'm confused why I'm taking shots when I'm actually filling

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 5: in and helping you out.

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying that it's worth the wait if you're

27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: available on Wednesday. Or maybe it was more of a

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: case that this Tuesday was so productive because Craig everybodys

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 4: have established the most productive day of the week is

30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: always Tuesday. That's been verified by science in the workplace.

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: It was so productive that actually bumped the Red Sea

32
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: report twenty four hours.

33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: So that's why the press conference was held on Tuesday.

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 6: That's right.

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: Look it was you hope it's franchise changing. You hope

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 4: it's franchised defining. You hope you get similar results to Oh,

37
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 4: I don't know the last four head coaches who have

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: worked under Sean McVeigh, because if you're going to name drop,

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: it's Matt Lafleur and Kevin O'Connell, even Zach Taylor out

40
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 4: of Cincinnati, Liam Cohen this last year who knocked it

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: out of the park year one with Jacksonville. So you

42
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: hope Mike Laflor is the next and a long line

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: of successful head coaches.

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: Everyone wants to analyze these press conferences, these introductory press conferences.

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: Did you win the press conference? Did you lose the

46
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: press conference? What's the first impression. I'll say this first impressions. Yes,

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: Michae Laflor very solid in his introductory press conference. Now

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: what does that mean moving forward? Who knows? We won't

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: know until games are being played, but a solid first step.

50
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 5: Introductory press conferences are interesting because you can only ask

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 5: so many questions because as the head coach, only has

52
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 5: so many answers, especially considering Laflour doesn't have a staff

53
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 5: right now put together. But I will say I appreciated

54
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 5: the authenticity of his answers. It was not cookie clutter,

55
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 5: cookie cutter, cliche answers that we hear from many coaches

56
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: around the league. And he even got detailed in some

57
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 5: of his answers. You know one in particular of what

58
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 5: he learned from Sean McVay as a play caller when

59
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 5: McVeigh was calling the plays in LA despite Lafleur being

60
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 5: the offensive coordinator, He's seemed very authentic. He commanded the room.

61
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 5: He had confidence, and for someone who's never been a

62
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 5: head coach before now has done media as an offensive

63
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 5: coordinator both in LA and New York with the Jets,

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: to command the room that first big press conference says

65
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 5: a lot of how he will likely command the locker

66
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 5: room with these players.

67
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Two years facing the New York media, we were nothing

68
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: the Phoenix media, not even.

69
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: Close to what he faced.

70
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Especially, you know, think about it that second year they

71
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: had a Jets there was seven and four and then

72
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: all of a sudden the bottom fell out and it

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: wasn't totally unlike what happened with the Cardinals season in

74
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, how things got sideways with a lot

75
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: of injuries, injuries to quarterbacks, offensive line in particular. Matt

76
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: Laflorin will get into this a little bit later, cited

77
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: those two years where he was OC as the Jets

78
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: and said, you know what, those who know the game

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: watched the film and were really impressed by what he

80
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: schemed up, really impressed. He had He used four different quarterbacks.

81
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 4: Ye had, He got four different quarterbacks including Joe Flaggo

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 4: and Zach Wilson and Mike White to throw for three

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: hundred yards at one point or the other. So to

84
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: Danny's point, yeah, I thought he looked the role. He

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: sounded like an NFL head coach. He was humble enough

86
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: at one point said hey, I hope you got the

87
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: right guy. There weren't any proclamations, there weren't any predictions,

88
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 4: There wasn't anything scripted. It was sincere, It was ernest.

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: There was a lot of gratitude for the opportunity and

90
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 4: the position. And you know, if you were in that room,

91
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: and there were almost two dozen players who were I

92
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: think everyone would agree. You can see him being a

93
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: leader of a team.

94
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: His first words I speak from the heart, and I

95
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: think we heard that during the thirty plus minute press conference,

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: including post press conference, Paul, you and I had the

97
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: chance to sit down with the new Cardinals head coach,

98
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: which we will hear coming up here on the Cardinals

99
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: Red Seat Report. Danny, you had a chance to go

100
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: one on one with the head coach in the TV studio. So, yeah,

101
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: we are getting to know this new person in charge

102
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: of football. But first things first, why was it Mike Laflor.

103
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: The press conference began with owner Michael Bidwell explaining just that.

104
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 7: As we went through the interview process, the clear winner

105
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 7: was Mike Lafleur. He's ready for this. He's innovative, he's smart,

106
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 7: He's been training under the brightest offensive coaches in the

107
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 7: NFC West and arguably in the NFL, and we're super

108
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 7: excited about all the things that he's going to bring.

109
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: The background of Lafloora was mentioned right off the top,

110
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: as far as Robert Sala, Sean McVay. Those names mentioned

111
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: several times both by Michael and also by Mike Laflora

112
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: as well. So that background again Danny, where there is

113
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: twelve years of coaching experience as an assistant as an

114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. Again, we now need to see what he

115
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: does as a first time head coach. But you can't

116
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 2: get a better tutoring than from Shanahan and McVeigh.

117
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 5: There's a reason we talk about the McVeigh and the

118
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: Shanahan coaching trees. There's a reason, as Paul mentioned off

119
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 5: the top of the show, so many coaches go on

120
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 5: to have success after learning from Sean McVay. He's very innovative,

121
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 5: he's adaptable, and he makes changes mid game to create success.

122
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 5: Something that I respect about Kyle Shanahan and the rest

123
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 5: of his staff is how prepared they are and how

124
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 5: prepared their team is, because regardless of personnel who was

125
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 5: on the field for San Francisco every single week, they

126
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 5: are dominant and they are giving themselves a chance in games.

127
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 5: And that's impressive because injuries happen to every team, so

128
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: that's an important aspect. What I liked about Lafloora calling

129
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: out in particular about what he learned from Sean McVay

130
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 5: calling plays in LA was the worst kind of play

131
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: call you could have is a late play call and

132
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 5: understanding the mechanics and having clean, clear communication with the quarterback,

133
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 5: which is a reason laflor confirmed he is going to

134
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 5: call play something he misses, something that he liked to do,

135
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 5: and that tone with the quarterback is important to him.

136
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: There are intangibles you can learn from coaches like McVeigh

137
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 5: and Shanahan that can create success when given the opportunity

138
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: to be in charge, and I'm intrigued to see how

139
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: Laflora uses those here.

140
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was encouraged by the fact he said

141
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 4: repeatedly that it's going to be organic, that the scheme

142
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: isn't going to be a complete replication of what McVeigh

143
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: or shanahan does, it is going to be patterned after

144
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: the player, and Lafloor has talked in the past about look,

145
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: if you look at shanahan and McVeigh, and you look

146
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: at Mike McDaniel's off that tree and even his big

147
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: brother Matt Lafleur, who calls the plays.

148
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 6: In Green Bay.

149
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: Yes, the schemes all have similar nuts and bolts, but

150
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: each guy's a little different in his style and each

151
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: offense is a little different based on the weapons. Mac

152
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: Wilson Senior talked about that with the media a little bit,

153
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: how shannan and McVeigh are really adept at putting a

154
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: Puka Nikooh wait a minute, he's in the backfield, whising

155
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: in the backfield all because now it's a tell you

156
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: have to show who's on him, who's covering him, little

157
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: things like that, And so Mike lafour was really insistent

158
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: upon not giving you any sort of insight into what

159
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: sort offense he's gonna run. And I think it was

160
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 4: genuine as to the why not. He doesn't know what

161
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: he has yet and that's what the offense is going

162
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: to revolve around.

163
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: Mike talked about quote foundational aspects, but the system will

164
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: be built around the players. For example, the Rams last

165
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: season led the league in thirteen personnel. That wasn't by

166
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: going into the season. That was something that they had

167
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: to adapt based off their personnel and what they needed

168
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: to be successful.

169
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 4: And guess what the first meeting, it's a Cardinals. Cardinals

170
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 4: came out in a dime look, and all of a sudden,

171
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 4: Matthew staffers started one of four passing and they said,

172
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 4: wait a minute, they got six DB's out there. Guess

173
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: what they're light. We're gonna go heavy. And then they

174
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: went thirteen personnel forty snaps in that game.

175
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: Let's hear from the Cardinals new head coach Michael Laflora

176
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: on why he chose the Arizona Cardinals.

177
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 6: All you want is ownership to want to win and

178
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 6: win it and the worst way. And that was very

179
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 6: apparent when I met Michael last year, how much he

180
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 6: loves this organization and then just going through that process,

181
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 6: like why wouldn't you you know? So that was first

182
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 6: and foremost being it with ownership that loves it. Then

183
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 6: you get to meet Mani and all the other people

184
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 6: in this building and everyone's got the same vision. And

185
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 6: then you think about this division. It's a tough division.

186
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 6: I mean, if it were easy, it wouldn't be worth it,

187
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 6: you know. And so we know what the work that

188
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 6: we got in front of us in that back right there,

189
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 6: they know that. But those are the reasons I want

190
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 6: to be the head coach here.

191
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: And that last part referencing the some twenty or so

192
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: players in the press conference sitting in the back listening

193
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: to their new head coach, and Danny used the word

194
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: authenticity to talk about Michae Laflora. There's also a lot

195
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: of self awareness. You heard it there in that bites

196
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: specifically when coming into this situation when you are looking

197
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: up literally up at the forty nine Ers, the Seahawks

198
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: and the Rams and the toughest division in the NFL.

199
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 5: And I love the fact that given how tough this

200
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 5: division is, Cardinals brought someone in who is part of

201
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 5: the reason why this division is as tough as it is.

202
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: And having an understanding of the types of people and

203
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 5: coaches that Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay are are not

204
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 5: going to automatically make Laflora and the Cardinals the most

205
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 5: successful team in the NFC West. It's still going to

206
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: be tough, but he does have an understanding not just

207
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 5: of how they coach, but he's learned what tweaks they've

208
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 5: had to make and how they have prepared in a

209
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 5: way to make them successful year after year after year.

210
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: It's been fun to least listen to Michael Floor. Also,

211
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: in addition to shanahan and McVeigh, dan Quinn got a

212
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: shout out, Robert Salah got a shout out. So at

213
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: that thirty five plus minute press conference, there was a

214
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: chunk a little over ten minutes in which Laflour basically

215
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: gave his background and also thanking everyone that got him

216
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: to this point.

217
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 4: And it's not just the ability to know the schemes

218
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 4: or the x's and o's, it's how they went about

219
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 4: formulating the foundation of a turnaround. He's been there, he's

220
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: been at the front lines what Sean McVay and Kyle

221
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 4: shannan have done. Most recently, he mentioned when he showed

222
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 4: up with Sean McVay after those two years with the

223
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: Jets and their first walk through, He's like, man, that's

224
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 4: the best walkthrough I've ever been a part of. You know,

225
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: what is Sean McVeigh doing maybe a little bit differently.

226
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: And then on top of all that, he said one

227
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: thing he learned, especially from McVeigh was the ability to

228
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 4: have fun. You know, there's got to be that enthusias

229
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: him and I think we'd all agree he checks that box.

230
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 4: You can tell he's all ball. He has that sort

231
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: of you know, love for the game. His older brother,

232
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 4: Matt talked about that he played D two football. You know,

233
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 4: Michael Laford played D three football. You're only playing that

234
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 4: because you love the game of football, and it really does.

235
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: It's evident from the moment you talk to him that,

236
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: guess what, this is not only his livelihood, it's his passion.

237
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: Son of a coach, and he referenced what else would

238
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: I be doing if it wasn't football, whether playing or coaching?

239
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 5: Two coaches, by the way, Mom and Dad.

240
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: Right, true, and now they've got two sons as head

241
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: coaches in the National Football League. Matt Laflor good to

242
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: see him at the press conference as well. We'll get

243
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: more in depth into that. The number of family members

244
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 2: and attendance, the number of players and attendance. What did

245
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: Michae Laflor think about that? We will hear more from

246
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: the Cardinals head coach as we continue. It's the Cardinals

247
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: Red Sea Reports Special edition on a Wednesday, the day

248
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: after the Cardinals introduced their new head coach. More with

249
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: the newest head coach of the Arizona Cardinals coming up,

250
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: It's the Cardinals Red Sea Report here on the Arizona

251
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: Cardinals Radio Network.

252
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 7: I am so pleased to introduce our head coach, Mike Lafleur.

253
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 7: Please get me a warm welcome.

254
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 6: I'm honored to be the head football coach here of

255
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals. I know it's been a thorough, in

256
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 6: detailed process that you guys have had to go through,

257
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 6: but you guys did it the right way. And I

258
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 6: promise you when I said this, and I've told a

259
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 6: few people this the way you guys did it, just

260
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 6: show me you guys want to get this thing right.

261
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 6: MANI thank you so much that first call I got

262
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 6: from you, the first zoom to last week, and then

263
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 6: obviously getting that call a couple of days ago. I

264
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 6: couldn't be more thrilled. And Michael Bidwell, he loves this place,

265
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 6: he loves this organization, he loves this city. All he

266
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 6: wants is a winner for this building and for the

267
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 6: people in this room, right here in the Arizona fan base.

268
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 6: And that's what we plan on giving right there.

269
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: A thorough process, no doubt, to find the next head

270
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: coach of the Arizona Cardinals. Reportedly sixteen different names linked

271
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: to the position and maybe a handful receiving seconds in

272
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: person interviews. Michae Laflor certainly one of those and named

273
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: on Sunday, introduced on Tuesday, formally introduced on Tuesday to

274
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: the local media and the national audience as well as

275
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals now and Barkedanny on a brand new era.

276
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: Certainly there's a lot of excitements within the building and

277
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: within the fan base because hey, new is good now,

278
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: we just needn't see it on the football field.

279
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 5: I did like one little anecdote that Michael Floor shared

280
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 5: at the podium before he sat down with general manager

281
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: Monty alsoin Fort saying he got a phone call from

282
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 5: an unknown number that said Phoenix, Arizona and he didn't

283
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 5: answer it because he thought it was a media member.

284
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 5: He probably thought it was one of YouTube. And then

285
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: he got a text saying, Hey, it's Michael Bidwell, give

286
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 5: me a call when you see this, and he immediately

287
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 5: called back.

288
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: Look, what's encouraging? I think? And he does have a

289
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: good sense of humor, and you know you're going to

290
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 4: hear some of that in a little bit here. But

291
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: what's really encouraging is when he's cited how close games

292
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: can be in the NFL. Now, just because you're close

293
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: on the scoreboard doesn't mean you're going to be close

294
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: in the win lost standings, And unfortunately the Cardinals found

295
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: that out the hard way this year. There were seven

296
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: games decided by four points or fewer. Everybody knows that

297
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: you have three in a row decided by a walk

298
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: off field goal. It's those little things, though, And when

299
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 4: he talked about you know what those little edges, what

300
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 4: do we need to do? And he didn't profess to

301
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: have all the answers, But if we can work a

302
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: little harder, if we can be a little cleaner, if

303
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 4: we can eliminate some of the self inflicted how far

304
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 4: would that go? People forget, Yes, yes, the NFC West

305
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 4: is an absolute monster, but your first two games the

306
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: NFC West, you led was seconds to go and lost

307
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 4: on a walk off field goal against both the forty

308
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 4: nine ers and Seahawks, and that's when you are much

309
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: closer to full health. So what is the gap and

310
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 4: can you close that gap? And nobody knows the division

311
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 4: better at least in terms of eligible candidates available for

312
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 4: higher this offseason than Mike Lafleur.

313
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 6: And to that.

314
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: Point, Paul Mike was very complimentary when he was asked

315
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: about this Cardinals roster and the players already in the building.

316
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: As far as there's talent, now, how do you get

317
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: that talent to perform better in those crucial situations, those

318
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: late game situations. Gotta have it plays that separates whether

319
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: you win or lose.

320
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: And it's not just his opinion. He told the anecdote

321
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 4: of Matthew Stafford walking into his office before the Week

322
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: fourteen game, And at that point, the Rams are going

323
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 4: one direction and the Cardinals are going the other. So

324
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 4: it might be easy to dismiss the Cardinals at that

325
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: point already eliminated from playoff contention, but Stafford walked into

326
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 4: his office, according to the floor, and said, hey, these

327
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 4: guys can play now. Let's not forget about that. Because

328
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: they were this close the year before to sweeping the Rams.

329
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 4: And Stafford has talked repeatedly just about some of the

330
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 4: Cardinals talent on defense and how some of the looks

331
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: have been really hard to decipher at times. So you

332
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 4: know they have a good understanding that that look. You know,

333
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 4: you make a few tweaks here or there, and you

334
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 4: have a foundation of talent that the Cardinals have, you'll

335
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: be competitive. You mentioned it earlier, Danny. People want answers now.

336
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 4: They want to know what this roster is going to

337
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 4: look like yesterday. That's not realistic, but it is good

338
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: to know you brought it up already that Okay, it's.

339
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: Not someone that is from the outside. It's someone that

340
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: has seen this Cardinals team twice each of the past

341
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: three seasons, whether he's calling plays or not, or trying

342
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: to defend something or not. But he's familiar looking at

343
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: film what these players are capable of doing.

344
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 5: He knows what the foundation that's been set is is

345
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 5: how relentless this team has played and the fight that

346
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 5: the Cardinals played with up until the final whistle, regardless

347
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 5: of what the score was. If they were behind, they

348
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 5: were behind by a lot. That's encouraging for a new

349
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: head coach to come in and know that the foundation

350
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 5: not just with the play on the field, but the

351
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 5: culture as well, and that's something that's really been in

352
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 5: emphasis the last couple of years. That wasn't just with

353
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon, but also Mani awsome Ford, who is still

354
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 5: in the building. Having team first players, that's the mentality

355
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 5: that's huge for a new head coach. If you're not

356
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 5: having to make sure everybody's on the same page in

357
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 5: that area, you can really just focus on what's going

358
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 5: on on the field.

359
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: Let's hear from the Cardinals new head coach michae Lflores

360
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: mentioned off the top. Paul and I had a chance

361
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: to go one on one with the new head coach

362
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, just mere moments after his introductory press conference.

363
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: So we are here speaking with you just moments after

364
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: you left the podium. And Paul and I have seen

365
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: a number of these press conference it is rare when

366
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: the entire first row is family, and not just family

367
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: and friends, but true family, extended family as well. What

368
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: did it mean when you're up there speaking to everyone

369
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 2: and looking at that first row and it's immediate family,

370
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: mom and dad, brother showed up as well.

371
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, he he showed up because he's going to waste management.

372
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 6: Let's be real right there. But he just so happened

373
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 6: to be that we're in the same town right now.

374
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 6: But no, it's Family's everything to me. Family and these players,

375
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 6: and like I can't fake that. I mean, it's it's

376
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 6: It was obviously really special looking down. It was long

377
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 6: enough that you did kind of think it was your

378
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 6: wedding there for a minute, because you had a he

379
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 6: had enough of the family up there. But you know,

380
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 6: my wife and kids, my parents, my wife's parents who

381
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 6: mean the world to me as well, and then obviously

382
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 6: Matt Breen and their kids. So we're not a huge family,

383
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 6: but we're a tight family and you know, we stick

384
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 6: with each other.

385
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: What was the first call you made it became official

386
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 4: you accepted the job. Just tell us about the moment.

387
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 4: How gratifying was it to you and who did you

388
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 4: start calling?

389
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 6: So obviously my wife was at home, so she she knew.

390
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 6: Now there's you know, there's a little bit of a

391
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 6: process to get to the point where you know it's

392
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 6: gonna get really you just don't know, right, I mean,

393
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 6: there's there's some contracts, there's all that kind of stuff,

394
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 6: and so the agents are a little bit you know,

395
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 6: nervous and stuff like that hey, don't tell too many

396
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 6: people or whatnot. But things moved really quickly. I mean,

397
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 6: it's just a credit to again Arizona and all that,

398
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 6: and they made it very seamless, so it was easy

399
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 6: to make a call, probably within ten minutes. And surprise

400
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 6: was Matt, you know. And so I told Matt, I said,

401
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 6: you can't tell mom and dad yet, and he he

402
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 6: was obviously pretty excited and said, when when you tell

403
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 6: mom and dad, make sure we get a little three

404
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 6: way FaceTime going. So I did not do that. I

405
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 6: said I'll handle mom and dad and kind of went

406
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 6: from there. So it's you know, things happen quick, man.

407
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 6: I mean, it was just forty eight hours ago that

408
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 6: this went down, and it somewhat feels like it was

409
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 6: two months ago in terms of the amount of stuff

410
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 6: that's happened in the last forty eight hours, and then

411
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 6: it also feels like it was fifteen minutes ago at

412
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 6: the same time, you know. So, uh, just excited really

413
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 6: to get back to work now and do it now.

414
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: The Packers are not on the schedule this season, but

415
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: you have competed against your brother. What is that like

416
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: or what do you expect? Perhaps it might feel like

417
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: when you look across the field and there is Matt again.

418
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've competed against each other nine times. I know

419
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 6: I'll probably get fact checked on this, but I believe

420
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 6: we're five and four, So you know, it's it's a

421
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 6: it's a it's a fun experience. But again, for that

422
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: three and a half hour window, you forget. I mean,

423
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 6: this game is about these players, and so when the

424
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 6: Rams are playing the Packers, it was about the Rams

425
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 6: versus the Packers. I had nothing to do with anything else,

426
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 6: you know. So it's probably the only thing different that

427
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 6: week is we do speak probably a little bit less, right,

428
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: I mean, for obvious reasons. I mean there's naturally, you know,

429
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 6: questions come up about you know, our game plans and

430
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 6: stuff like that when we're going against different opponents, because

431
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 6: we all know each other, you know, we know we

432
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 6: know these coordinators, and you know there's usually care over

433
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 6: So that week it's a little bit less. You get

434
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 6: the you get the big hug out there at midfield

435
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 6: an hour before the game, and you keep it moving.

436
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: When it comes to what comprises your culture, you probably

437
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 4: spend an hour on it, but just sort of the thumbnail,

438
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 4: are there a couple of non negotiables. Where do you

439
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 4: start what's most important?

440
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna be focused on the process

441
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 6: day to day period, you know. And I want these

442
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 6: guys to understand us as a coaching staff, us as

443
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 6: me as a head coach, but but them as well.

444
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 6: Just great daily urgency, great great daily enjoyment. Like when

445
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 6: they walk in the building, I want them to want

446
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 6: to walk in the building, like understand that we are

447
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 6: going to go press and this is going to be hard,

448
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 6: but want to be in here and h And that's

449
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 6: us as coaches to make sure that we're giving them

450
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 6: the tools to say, hey, I can't wait to come

451
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 6: to work tomorrow, you know. And in daily improvement, you know,

452
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 6: we're not going to be sitting here talking about Super

453
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 6: Bowls and end of c each. I don't believe in that.

454
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 6: I believe in every single day working to be as

455
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 6: good as you can, competing against yourself when it's time

456
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 6: to go compete against each other in OTAs and training camp,

457
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 6: we'll do that to armor ourselves to put ourselves in

458
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 6: a position to go play whoever Week one ends up being.

459
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 6: I don't know who we're playing in Week one don't

460
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 6: really care right now. I just want us to be

461
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 6: as prepared as possible to get to that point by

462
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 6: the daily improvement.

463
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: There were about a dozen, maybe more than a dozen

464
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: players at the press conference. You referenced them several different times.

465
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: But it's the off season. Here we are in February.

466
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: Everyone's got their own lives. But to see that number

467
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 2: of players on the roster and some that who knows

468
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 2: what their future holds, but to see them in the

469
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: back of the room, how did that make you fair?

470
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 6: That meant the world to me. And it's one of

471
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 6: those things that you don't really know until you're in

472
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 6: that moment. But when I got the list of who

473
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 6: was coming, it shook me a little bit because again,

474
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 6: it did mean a lot, and it makes me just

475
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 6: want to work even harder for these guys. To put

476
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 6: them in positions to go do is great things. You know.

477
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 6: When I got that call that Sunday, and you know,

478
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 6: kind of got it Matt, my parents and everyone out

479
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 6: of the way right there. Then I was able to,

480
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 6: you know, talk to some of the other guys and

481
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 6: you know, Trey McBride in Buddha, who are up at

482
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 6: the Pro Bowl right now, who obviously couldn't be here,

483
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 6: and I'm glad they're not here because they're there, you know,

484
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 6: and talking to guys like Mac Wilson. I mean, it

485
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 6: was like the look in their eyes, it was yes,

486
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 6: I made the right decision times one hundred. I couldn't

487
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 6: wait to just get to start to know these guys

488
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 6: and get working for them. So met the world and

489
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 6: now the work starts.

490
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: Look, it was impressive to see that many players in

491
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: the back of the room. And I don't want to

492
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: get into who was who wasn't here as I mentioned

493
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: there and talking with Mike and we'll hear more from

494
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: him in our next segment, but it does say something

495
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: to you as a person at that stage when you

496
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: look up and see so many of your now coworkers

497
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: that you're not sure if they're going to be there

498
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: or not and what they've got going on. But and

499
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't just run the mill p either, Paul. It

500
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: was some star power in that back of the room

501
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: as well that we're looking back and anxious to hear

502
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: what Michae Laflor had to say.

503
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: Some team captains that you know, are dogs. I mean,

504
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 4: I think we might know a little more than the

505
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 4: head coach does. Right now, just how good he has

506
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 4: it with some of these guys. A Buddha Baker, A

507
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 4: Trey McBride, probably two most competitive guys in the team

508
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: on each side of the ball, leading the way of

509
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 4: Mac Wilson Sr. James Connor. Are you kidding me? I

510
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 4: mean these guys who are come to play soon. You

511
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: built from the inside out. It's not just in the trenches,

512
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 4: in the line of scrimmage, inside out, meaning the locker room.

513
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 4: And I think the Cardinals obviously are way ahead of

514
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: where they were three years ago under Jonathan Gannion.

515
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 5: Says a lot that even though the season's over, Mac

516
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 5: Wilson seniors taking that team captain role. Seriously, He's been

517
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 5: in Houston this offseason and as soon as he found

518
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 5: out the night before that the press conference was going

519
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 5: to happen Tuesday, he booked a flight and he was

520
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 5: going to make sure he was out there as a

521
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 5: team leader.

522
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: Well here for Mac a little bit later on coming

523
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: up next, Part two of our conversation with Micha Lefflor's

524
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: coming up next. It's the Cardinals Red Sea Report. You're

525
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

526
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 8: Everything about his experience, everything about the people that he's

527
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 8: been around. Mike's had experience as a play caller, He's

528
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 8: experienced with multiple different offensive schemes, He's been around multiple

529
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 8: successful programs, and then just his overall intelligence, his presence,

530
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 8: the way that he came in and laid out his

531
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 8: vision for how he sees running a program. You know, really,

532
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 8: I can't point to one thing, because it is never

533
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 8: one thing with these It's the totality of the person,

534
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 8: totality of the belief and how he wants to put

535
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 8: together the program, and ultimately that led us to making

536
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 8: sure that he wanted him to be our guy moving forward.

537
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: What set Mike Lapore apart from the other top candidates

538
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: General Manager Monty Austin Ford answering there wasn't just one thing,

539
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 2: but a whole bunch of different things that led the

540
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals to the conclusion, as Michael Bidwell mentioned, the

541
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: clear winner to become the cardinals new head coach. As

542
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: we say, welcome back, it is the Cardinals Red Sea

543
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: Report Craig Riolu, Paul Calvic and Danny Sirek and before

544
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: we hear more from Mike are Part two conversation. That

545
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: is what you like to hear, Danny, because you're not

546
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: pigeonholed as an individual as far as what this might

547
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 2: look like. You have an idea of what you want

548
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: to do when you become a head coach. But Mike

549
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: scatthered things from Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Robert Sala, Dan Quinn,

550
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: a number of different people, including his own family, as

551
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 2: far as how you best run a franchise.

552
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 5: And it's going to be different. Even if you have

553
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 5: all the advice in the world from people who have

554
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 5: had success elsewhere, it's different. It's different for every organization.

555
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 5: It's different with who is in the front office, it's

556
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 5: different with the players in the locker room. Every year,

557
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: even if you keep majority of the personnel, which we

558
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 5: saw with this Cardinals team last year from the year before,

559
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 5: that doesn't guarantee success. I mean, two years ago the

560
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 5: Cardinals had one of the best offensive run games in

561
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 5: the league, and despite keeping majority of that same personnel,

562
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 5: did not have the same success this past year. It's

563
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 5: important to make sure that you are learning at different

564
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 5: points in the career, and something that I think stands

565
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 5: out with New York in particular is that's one of

566
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 5: the stops where I feel like I've seen the most discourse,

567
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 5: so to say, online of well, that's where he last

568
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 5: called plays, and it was the Jets and this was

569
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 5: their final record, and all of those things which Paul

570
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 5: touched on a little earlier. I'm pretty sure at one

571
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 5: point they have four quarterbacks playing in a season. I mean,

572
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 5: he had Garrett Wilson have a thousand yards receiving his

573
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 5: rookie year. There were still success and I think at

574
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 5: certain points in anyone's career, not just in football, sometimes

575
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 5: you learn the most from tough situations. And so that

576
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: does not, quote unquote scare me. I think that you

577
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 5: know exactly what Austin Fort and Michael Bidwell touched on

578
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 5: Tuesday of Mike Laflor has a lot of experience, a

579
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 5: lot of different types of players. He has been around

580
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 5: and coached in different position rooms. He's learned from different

581
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 5: kinds of coaches, and I think that is really intriguing and.

582
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: He's really looking forward to calling plays.

583
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: That was clear.

584
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the one question that I ducked into

585
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: the press commerce my one little contribution there, and I

586
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 4: didn't finish the question. It was long lines up. How

587
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: much do you look forward to calling the plays again?

588
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: And he is all about it and he just really

589
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 4: enjoys that. That's you know, the Division III player in him, right,

590
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 4: that's the adrenaline rush. You can just surmise, you can

591
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 4: see it in him where he's able to talk through

592
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 4: the headset to the quarterback and dial up the next play.

593
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 4: And I tell you if he's anything along the lines

594
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 4: of Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay and his brother. Two years ago,

595
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: the Cardinals went to Green Bay and Matt Lafleur put

596
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: on a clinic in play calling. The Cardinals got really

597
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: aggressive with a lot of exotic schemes and seeming Lafleur

598
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: was in his bag as the kids say, and at

599
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 4: every great play call ready and so okay, if Mike

600
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 4: can be anything like Matt based on what he learned

601
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 4: is two years call and plays. When he's filled in

602
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 4: a couple of times for Sean McVay as well, it's

603
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 4: been very impressive. And so that's all part of this,

604
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 4: you know. And then you talk about we heard from

605
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 4: Ania Saford. There's that alignment word that was so popular

606
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: with the Suns, and you know they got maligned a

607
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 4: little bit for it. Well, guess what it's been beneficial

608
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: And Michae lafor cited the dynamic where look less need

609
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 4: and Sean McVay just got contract extensions of the Rams.

610
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: And we know how well Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch

611
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 4: have worked with the forty nine ers. So if you

612
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 4: can get that same one plus one equals three between

613
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 4: the head coach and the GM in Arizona, all the better.

614
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 4: Let's hear more from michae lafor part two of our

615
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 4: conversation with the new Cardinals head coach. How much of

616
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 4: your scheme is going to be dictated by the existing

617
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 4: roster and then how much will this roster need to

618
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 4: adapt to your scheme?

619
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's there's foundational aspects of this, right,

620
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 6: I mean it's you know, we're going to have a

621
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 6: marriage of the run and pass game. You know what

622
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 6: personnel we're going to be and what we're going to

623
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 6: live in. Well, we got to figure out what our

624
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 6: roster looks like, you know, but foundational speaking, you know,

625
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 6: like core concepts are coming over. We're gonna have the

626
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 6: wide zone, we're gonna have the inside zone, we're gonna

627
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 6: have our duos. We're gonna have our play acts. We're

628
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 6: gonna have our boots off of you know, our wide zone,

629
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 6: We're gonna have our quick completion plays. We're gonna go

630
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 6: across the board with our dropbacker. Like that's similar to

631
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 6: all the systems that I've been a part of. That's

632
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 6: no different. But what makes every system unique is, well,

633
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 6: what players do you have? You know, the players that

634
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 6: we have here, it's gonna be different than obviously LA

635
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 6: and San Francisco has different players than than obviously the RAMS.

636
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 6: So everyone tweaks it to what they got, but there'll

637
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 6: be the foundational aspects for sure.

638
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: Two big influences Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay. Biggest lesson learned,

639
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway from each of them.

640
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 6: Honestly, it's urgency, Like this league doesn't wait, you know,

641
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 6: Like we urgently but thoroughly have to go build the

642
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 6: best staff we can. And then we urgently and thoroughly

643
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 6: have to go build the best roster we can. And

644
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 6: then Clement said schemes and then go practice with that

645
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 6: same urgency to press each other to get better, you know.

646
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 6: So there's so many great qualities of both of those guys.

647
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 6: Again I've referenced it. They're better people than they are

648
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 6: actually coaches. You know, sometimes you don't get to see

649
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 6: what truly goes behind the scenes and how they are

650
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 6: as leaders. But when you walk in those doors at

651
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 6: both those places, you're ready to get to work. And

652
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 6: that's a cool feeling, Like you want to feel that way.

653
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 6: And I want these guys staff included, to come in

654
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 6: and say, we're about to get better today and it's

655
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 6: not gonna be easy, but it'll be worth it.

656
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 4: Three of the four final teams in the NFC, obviously

657
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 4: from the NFC West. How tall is the task? How

658
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 4: much respect do you have for this division?

659
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 6: It's the heavy hitters, and no doubt, you know, like

660
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 6: you just said, I mean three or four were up there.

661
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 6: It was never easy. And guess what, it wasn't easy

662
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 6: playing the Arizona Cardinals for years, you know, So each

663
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 6: year it's a little bit different. Not really worried about

664
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 6: those three teams. Yeah, you double up with them, obviously,

665
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 6: you play them six of your seventeen games. But again,

666
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 6: we're worried right now about building the right people, the

667
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 6: right staff, all right, the right roster to go compete

668
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 6: for week one. Whoever that happens to be.

669
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: You're coaching staff priority number one. As a first time

670
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: head coach, do you want or would you do you

671
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: need a veteran presence on that staff, someone that's been there,

672
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 2: done that that you can lean on or do you

673
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: already have that within your own family?

674
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's we're going to build the best

675
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 6: staff we can and so if that person's out there

676
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 6: that we feel is going to fit for what we're

677
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 6: looking for from a staff, great but great character, guys

678
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 6: that have great capacity period. Anytime you have a guy

679
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 6: that's gone through experience, there's nothing like experiences, you know,

680
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 6: God rest his soul, but great Nap had him in

681
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 6: New York in twenty twenty one and I didn't know

682
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 6: Greg before that, but after the first six months before

683
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 6: you know, tragically he had that accident. You would have

684
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 6: thought we had known each other for twenty years. And

685
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 6: what really drew me to him. He was a great person,

686
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 6: he's a great connector, he's a great coach, but was

687
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 6: just experiences to be able to lean on that, you know.

688
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 6: So if we can find something like that, great, I

689
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 6: mean they're out there. But again, we got a piece

690
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 6: together what we feel is the best for us, and

691
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 6: we'll keep it moving from there.

692
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 4: So much talk about Shanahan and McVeigh, rightfully so, but

693
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 4: your two years with the Jets as OC, what was

694
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 4: your biggest takeaway? What was most important to you or

695
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 4: would you gain the most in those years?

696
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 6: It's like anything else, what a great learning experience going

697
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 6: there at thirty two years old, you know, with the

698
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 6: situation that was in front of us, you know, and

699
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 6: there was like MANI kind of said, like I see

700
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 6: it as net positive. There's challenges everywhere that you're at,

701
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 6: and there was challenges there, and we were sitting there

702
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 6: at seven and four in that second year doing what

703
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 6: we had to do to win football games and unfortunately

704
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 6: didn't get it done for those last six and ran

705
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 6: ourselves right out of the playoffs. But great learning lessons

706
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 6: from all that. You know, there was good, there was bad,

707
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 6: and there was everything in between. And those are things

708
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 6: that I believe you just build armor for those next

709
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 6: you know, adventures.

710
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: We know there was a lot of work to do.

711
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: I'll let you get to it, but first welcome his

712
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: second Glad you're a part of this organization and look

713
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: forward to what you can bring and what you can

714
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: do for this team in twenty twenty six and beyond.

715
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 6: I appreciate that. Now I'm looking forward to getting to work.

716
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 6: And like you said, I mean the work needs to start.

717
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 6: It need to start about ten minutes ago. So I

718
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 6: appreciate you guys.

719
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: New staff figure out the roster and yes, the elephant

720
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: in the room what you do at the quarterback position.

721
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: That is what Michael four now is tasked with doing.

722
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: Appreciated him sitting down with Paul and myself here in studio. Danny,

723
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: you had a chance to check in with him as

724
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 2: well on the TV side, an interview that will be

725
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 2: posted or soon to be posted on the Arizona Cardinals

726
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 2: YouTube channel. But your conversation with him and just having

727
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: the chance to get to know certainly the person and

728
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: also maybe a little bit of an insight in what

729
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: kind of a coach he might be.

730
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 5: Relentless was a word he used when talking about the

731
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 5: type of play he wants out of this team. And look,

732
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 5: I mean similar comment conversation of trying to you know,

733
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 5: get to know the person of who michae Lfloor is.

734
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 5: But from a football standpoint, I think two points that

735
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 5: were brought up in the TV interview were about the coordinators.

736
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 5: You know, when Cliff Kingsbury was here as the head

737
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 5: coach calling plays, didn't have an offensive coordinator. I do

738
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 5: not expect that to be the case with Lafloor, and

739
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 5: especially since he was an offensive coordinator in LA where

740
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 5: Sean McVay was still calling plays, and Laflour told me

741
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 5: that it's important to have an offensive coordinator where when

742
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 5: he has to go to head coaching duties and responsibilities,

743
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 5: the wheels aren't going to fall off and there's that

744
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 5: trust there. And I'm sure the fact that Lafleur has

745
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 5: had to call plays in LA when Sean McVay has

746
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 5: been sick is another important reason. Right to have somebody

747
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 5: who understands that aspect of that role and a defensive coordinator.

748
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 5: And it wasn't necessarily these are the personality or you know,

749
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 5: the schematic details I'm looking for and a coordinator. It

750
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 5: was the kind of person and who can get the

751
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 5: most out of the players that are here. I will

752
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 5: be intrigued if you know, a defensive coordinator is hired

753
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 5: who has head coaching experience, and if that's the way

754
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 5: that they want to go about things just having a

755
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 5: first time head coach and not sure there I wanted

756
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 5: to talk about qualities he's looking for in a quarterback.

757
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 5: So you can listen to his full answer on that

758
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 5: interview on the official YouTube channel and Easycardinals dot com.

759
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 5: But you know, look at the quarterbacks that he's worked

760
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 5: with over the years. I mean, Matt Ryan won MVP

761
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 5: when the two were in Atlanta. He's coming from Matthew Stafford.

762
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 5: I think that's a really fair question of the qualities

763
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 5: he wants, the qualities they currently have in that quarterbacks room,

764
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 5: along with the flux of other things that come into

765
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 5: play of the decisions that have to be made. That

766
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 5: is absolutely what once you check off hiring a full staff,

767
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 5: that's the first thing everyone's going to keep an eye on,

768
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 5: is what's the decision at.

769
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 4: Quarterback and in between Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford and

770
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 4: about fifteen different quarterbacks with the Jets when he was

771
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: a thirty two year old offensive coordinator. I forgot about that.

772
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 4: That was a good factoid from Mike Lafleur. He had

773
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 4: Jimmy g with the forty nine ers, Simon Kyle Shanahan.

774
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 6: What they do.

775
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 4: They went to a Super Bowl in the twenty nineteen

776
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 4: season with Jimmy g who, by the way, Dot dot

777
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 4: Dot is tracking to be an unrestricted free agent with

778
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 4: the Rams as Stafford's backup.

779
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be a show, radio, television, or podcast without a

780
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: hot take from one Paul Calvisey.

781
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 4: You just want to make sure you're paying attention, Craig

782
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 4: throwing it out there, and then defensive coordinator Danny's point, Yes,

783
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 4: if they could get advance Joseph. What vance Joseph was

784
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 4: to Cliff Kingsbury, a defensive coordinator who was a former

785
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 4: head coach, that would be ideal.

786
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 2: And what is that defense going to look like? Is

787
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: it going to be somewhat similar or again adapting to

788
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: what the players you have on the roster, or is

789
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: there a different thinking with what you already have on

790
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: the roster.

791
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 4: I just hope this division isn't scaring away defensive coordinator

792
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 4: candidates having to go against McVeigh and Shanahan and Seattle.

793
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: As we mentioned about twenty players and attendance, what did

794
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: they have to say about Mike Laflora. We'll get into

795
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: that next here on the Cardinals Red on the Arizona Cardinals,

796
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: Radio Network.

797
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 6: To the current players. I really appreciate you guys showing up.

798
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 6: When I got the list of how many guys were

799
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 6: coming and who was coming touched me man, and I

800
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 6: cannot wait to start building relationships with you guys. I

801
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 6: can't wait to get to work with you guys. I

802
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 6: promise I'll pour it all for you guys every single day,

803
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 6: and I can't wait to just get this show going.

804
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 6: I told every single one of you, I'll be reaching

805
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 6: out to you, but this is for you, guys, and

806
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 6: the staff that we're going to put together is to

807
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 6: pour into you guys. When I got some of those

808
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 6: facetimes on that Sunday, whether it be for my family,

809
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 6: some friends, the ones that fired me up the most

810
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 6: was coming from you guys, and it got me just

811
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 6: more excited to get going. So I appreciate you guys.

812
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 6: Can't wait to get to work.

813
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: It's about the players. Michael Laclore made that very clear

814
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 2: during his introductory press conference and look directly at the

815
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 2: twenty or so players standing in the back of the room.

816
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: He talks specifically to them as we say welcome back.

817
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: It is the Cardinals Red Sea Report Greig Rayolu pulk

818
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: Alvic and Danny Surrect talking all things Mike Lafloor the

819
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: introductory press conference on Tuesday, and how about we hear

820
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 2: from some of those players. Mac Wilson Senior and Michael Wilson.

821
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: First up, Mac talking about why it was so important

822
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 2: for the players to be in attendance.

823
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 9: It was important not only just because you know, he's

824
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 9: the new head coach here, just I feel like just

825
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 9: the leader I am on this team. You know, it

826
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 9: just says a lot of you know, how I carried myself.

827
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 9: You know, once I got to text yesterday that he

828
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 9: was having his press conference today, you know, I instantly

829
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 9: booked a flight that night out and you know, came here.

830
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 9: So obviously I care about this team, this organization, and

831
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 9: you know, I just want to win, you know, And

832
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 9: I feel like, you know, having the guys here that

833
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 9: was here today just shows Coach Lafleur like, you know,

834
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 9: we're behind him, and you know, obviously I feel like

835
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 9: you give him a sense of confidence and juice.

836
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 2: I think that's very key there, Danny, to see for

837
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 2: a brand new person coming into the building, just how

838
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: much there was that buy in already with maybe not

839
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 2: even that first team meeting yet, but players that were here,

840
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: players that came in from out of town to first

841
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: meet and then here for the first time their new

842
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 2: head coach.

843
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 5: That's great to see this. This is the reminder that

844
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 5: the NFL, as much fun as it is and as

845
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 5: much of an entertainment piece it is, it's also a business.

846
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 5: And so the players are going to have to show

847
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 5: their value to this new head coach and his staff.

848
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 5: Now it helps that the same front office is here,

849
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 5: right and it's a young team, but that's their boss,

850
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 5: so that that's also part of the business side. Is

851
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 5: you want to show that you're buying in, that you

852
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 5: are supporting. And I think it does help when all

853
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 5: the accolades we've talked, maybe not accolades, but the success

854
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 5: that Lafleor's had right in the type of coach, and

855
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 5: that there is legitimate excitement and hope and intrigue with

856
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 5: this hiring. But it is great to see, you know.

857
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 5: It's one thing to say, oh, yeah, you know, oh

858
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 5: you want players there, and it's understandable that not everyone's

859
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 5: going to be there because it was short notice. This

860
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 5: is the time where players take vacation or they train elsewhere.

861
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 5: But to see the amount of players that were there

862
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 5: is telling of the support that he has from the jump.

863
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: And then hearing from a Mac Wilson senior and a

864
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: Michael Wilson the excitement level and their voices, specifically Michael

865
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 2: talking about what he has seen, what Michae Lafleur has

866
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: done in previous stops, what that might mean for him

867
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 2: here in Arizona.

868
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 10: He talked that this the system is going to be

869
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 10: built organically around the players, but I'm sure he's going

870
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 10: to take and sprinkle in a lot of the McVay

871
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 10: system and the Shanahan system. It seems like all those

872
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 10: guys that play for those organizations play really well and

873
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 10: maximize their playability and their play.

874
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 6: Speed and honestly turn into superstars.

875
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 10: Looking at me, Marvin Trey like, I'm excited to, you know,

876
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 10: get with an offensive guy who hopefully can you know,

877
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 10: maximize all of our skill sets and I'm excited.

878
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 6: It's a work.

879
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 4: You know, who has almost the exact same measurables as

880
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 4: Michael Wilson. Do you know who was compared to Michael

881
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 4: Wilson three years ago in the draft, Pooka Nikoua. You

882
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 4: look at those two guys standing next to each other,

883
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 4: they're listed of the same height and a few pounds

884
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 4: difference between them. Would you say Michael Wilson is physical

885
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 4: when it comes to blocking. We've heard both Sean McVay

886
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 4: and Michael lafor say when they realize the big body

887
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 4: that pookuin naku is this sort of you know, aggressivenessity

888
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 4: plays with, they formulated an offensive plan around that. I

889
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 4: would not be shocked to see Michael Wilson used as

890
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 4: a pooka nikoua light in this Cardinals offense.

891
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,479
Speaker 2: And I think that's why Michael not only you could

892
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 2: hear the excitement in his voice, but if you watched

893
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: the video on Accardinals dot com, there was a smile

894
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: on his face talking about, Hey, I might have shown

895
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: everyone else what I was capable of doing in twenty

896
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 2: twenty five, but I know what I am capable of

897
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: doing now. All of a sudden, I've got a head

898
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 2: coach that maybe can even further my my ability within

899
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: this offense, my impact within this.

900
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 5: Offense during this coaching staff. A point we had all

901
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 5: touched on is the intrigue for a candidate coming here

902
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 5: when you've got Trey McBride Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison Junior

903
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 5: as the focal points of this offense right now. And

904
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 5: the fact that you've got an offensive minded head coach

905
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 5: who has learned from two of the more creative and

906
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 5: successful offensive minded head coaches and play callers in Kyle

907
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 5: Shanahan and John McVay is exciting, to say the least

908
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 5: on on what he can unlock and unleash in those three.

909
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 4: I know, three years ago Cardinals at the Niners and

910
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 4: Kyle Shannan comes out with four count on four fullback

911
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 4: screens to use check on the opening drive like what's

912
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 4: going on here? And then a couple of years ago

913
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: with Cooper Cup all those cheat motions that they innovated.

914
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 4: You can't tell me that Marvin Harrison Junior, who was

915
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 4: in motion his rookie year less than ten times all year,

916
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 4: there won't be a variety of different ways he's used effective. Immediately,

917
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 4: what is it going to look like? What players are

918
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 4: going to be on this team? But before all that,

919
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 4: what's this coaching staff going to look like?

920
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 2: Again? The new era is underway, The Mike Lafleur era

921
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: is underway, and we are here for it each and
