10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: catch by Kirk in the end zone for a touchdown.

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: Oh field. Here's Craig Griolu, Mike Jarecki, and thirteen year

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: NFL veteran Drew Stanton. So I don't know about either

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: of you, but I am feeling a heck of a

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: lot better today than I was yesterday. And yes, it

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: has everything to do with the outcome of Monday night

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: football cap to the San Francisco forty nine ers. Is

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals once again with a one one and a

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: half game lead in the division on the Rams. More

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: on that in the moments, but we do have to

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: talk about what happened on Sunday, or maybe better said,

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: what didn't happen. We have seen this though throughout the league,

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: where teams, good teams have games like this, Drew, I

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: don't need you to answer why this happens, but is

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: there again, what is the reason why things like this

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 1: tend to happen? Because it's not just a Cardinals issue,

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: but the Buccaneers, the Bills, the Titans, the Cowboys, I

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: mean across the board. There's always at least one of

28
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: these games every year. Yeah, well it happens to each

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: and every week. Right, You see this because they go

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: out there on a team that's hungrier, or they dictate

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game based on the flow of

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: the game. And that's what exactly what Carolina came in

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: here and did and we're able to dablish everything that

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: they wanted to and just it was a dominating performance.

35
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: But again it was one performance. And I think it's

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: keeping that in perspective, much like we've tried to do

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: it and the mentality of that locker room. You talk

38
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: about it, and those guys are very well aware of it.

39
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Of how you know, right wrong or indifferent win or

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: loss or a tie like we saw in Detroit. You

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: move on from it and you build from it and

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: you correct the mistakes. And I think that's really what

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: everybody is talking about, how over jockeying for position in

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs and all that stuff. This is a wake

45
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: up call that it is a weekly business that you

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: go out there and you have to put your best

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: foot forward or us you're going to get beat. Are

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: we to a point in the year, though, we shouldn't

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: pay attention to the records because you know, on paper,

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: all the Cardinals should have beat the Panthers. Obviously, you know,

51
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: McCaffrey missed five games, the quarterback was struggling, but they

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, bringing in Cam and p J. Walker.

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just say, you know, even though

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: the records don't look as good as the teams are playing,

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: I throw out the records at this point in the

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: year because they're trying to get back in the race

57
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: and right now they could be the seventh seed and

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals would play them in the first round in two

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: verses seven. Getting ahead of myself, but it's just interesting

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: we get to this point in year and you know,

61
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: it's just seeing teams are like focusing more on running

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: the football, keeping the Cardinals on the sideline. So it's

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: that that point in the year where throughout the records

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: just play football. Yeah. No, I think that's a great point,

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: and that's really what you're looking at and seeing it.

66
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: And we're all outsiders looking in at this point, right

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: the seventeenth game. What does that mean? Do you rest

68
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: the guy to try and make sure that he's capable

69
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: of going and being available in December? You know, that's

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: what we're wondering with Kyler at this point. When can

71
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: he go out there and play. But at the same time,

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, these guys are making a

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: paycheck and these young guys that get opportunities, you can't

74
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: take them for granted. And that defense is salty. They've

75
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: been very good all year. They just haven't been able

76
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: to put up points. But that defense gets after the quarterback.

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: They do a lot of things, you know, and they're

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: very multiple in a lot of different ways that create

79
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, mishaps for defenses and kind

80
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: of play into your hand. And they we were able

81
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: to put it together. You know, obviously with Cam coming

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: back that shot in the arm and everybody saw his

83
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, welcome back, I'm back statements that he was making.

84
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: But that's what you have to go up against each

85
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: and every week because you have to see the demeanor

86
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: of the team. And like you said, those points, you're

87
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: getting Christian McCaffrey back, who's as good as it gets

88
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: in this league, and when he has that many catches,

89
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long day for you. And you

90
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: look at the stats within the stats, and we can

91
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: twist them and we can make them out to what

92
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: we want to be with wins and losses. But what

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: it ultimately comes down to is what kind of momentum

94
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: does that team have coming in? What kind of swag

95
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: are they playing with at that point? And you see

96
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: that and it can change overnight. We saw a team

97
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: completely flat with San Francisco and then they come out

98
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football in front of everybody and just

99
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: straight up smack the Los Angeles Rams in the mouth

100
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: when everybody's talking about all of these pieces they've added.

101
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: The final on Sunday at State Farm Stadium, thirty four

102
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: to ten really wasn't even that close. The Panthers jumped

103
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: out to a seventeen nothing lead after the first fifteen minutes.

104
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: It was twenty three nothing at halftime. The head coach,

105
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, what happened during those sixty minutes on the field.

106
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: You gotta give them a lot of credit. I thought

107
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: they coached and played with a real sense of urgency

108
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: that we didn't have. They played with the motion and

109
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: really got after us. So we got to figure it

110
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: out quick. Got a big division game next week in

111
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: the road, and we got a flush fist and get better.

112
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: Kingsbury also added Drew that he would think at that

113
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: point this was post game on Sunday, they would watch

114
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: the film together as a coaching staff, but they might

115
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: not watch it together as a player. Maybe within the

116
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: position groups, but not as an entire team. When you

117
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: have a game like that, is it better to look

118
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: at the film and look at where you can make

119
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: mistakes or just say, hey, we know what happened. We

120
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: don't need to revisit what happened. Well, I think it

121
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: depends on the mistakes, right, Like, this is a team

122
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: that effort has been a given for the first course

123
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: of the season, and you see these guys flying around

124
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 1: on defense, they're doing all these things, and you almost

125
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: took it for granted, and I was highlighting it and

126
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: emphasizing those things because those are well allows you to

127
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: go out there and play together as a unit defensively,

128
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: what allows you to go out there and not worry

129
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: about stats? And that wasn't there. That's what was alarming

130
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: to me. And it was almost like they exhaled where

131
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: they had been pressing the envelope and talking about things

132
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: and had to deal with adversity. And sometimes when your

133
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: backs against the wall, it's a lot easier to circle

134
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: the wagons and say, hey, guys, we gotta go out

135
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: and do this, We gotta go out and do this

136
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: and do this. But when the battle cry kind of

137
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: falls by the wayside and you said, okay, well, we

138
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: got a Carolina team that's coming in and they just

139
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: signed Cam off the street this week, and who knows

140
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: if Christian's going to be healthy or blah blah blah,

141
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: all of these things, and we just went out and

142
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: be a team on the road. Now we're home, there's

143
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: a tendency to relax, and that's what Cliff alluded to

144
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: and was talking about, and that starts at the top

145
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: and comes down from there. So it's been addressed. I

146
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: think it's great to go watch it as a team.

147
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: I would prefer to watch it as an offensive unit because,

148
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: to me, the most important thing in this league on

149
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: a week to week basis is communication. And when things

150
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: get lost in translation, when you're in a separate room

151
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: or you're doing something differently, you're not communicating with the

152
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I mean, we would always watch it with

153
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: the wide receivers because a quarterback and wide receiver, that

154
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: relationship is the utmost importance. But then you're also hearing

155
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: what the offensive line is talking about. You're sitting there

156
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: and you're kind of saying, Okay, where did we lose

157
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: this here? Or do we not make the right mic call?

158
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: Do we not why weren't we on the same page

159
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: with the over route that happened here, or why we

160
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: threw a pick or any of these things that kind

161
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: of transpired. And you're hearing it right from the horse's mouth,

162
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: as opposed to saying, well, you know, this is what

163
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: he should have done and this is what his coach

164
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: should have done. When you take that accountability, I think

165
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: that really helps you to take more ownership of this

166
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: entire offense. So, yes, there was a little bit of okay,

167
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: deviating from what they wanted to do. How do we

168
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: get back on course and go in and try and

169
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: we're in in a really really tough environment up in Seattle. Now, no,

170
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: when you were excuse me, as long as you've been

171
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: in the league, how many times would you watch film

172
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: with the entire team versus position? Very rarely do you

173
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: watch it with the entire team, I think with this yesterday, Yeah, yeah,

174
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean that doesn't happen unless you're trying to have

175
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: a call out session, which those are uncomfortable anyways of

176
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: like hey, like you didn't give effort here, and they

177
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: highlight it. That's usually a Belichicken way of doing things

178
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: because they want everybody to be almost to the point

179
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: of like man like looking over your shoulder, and there's

180
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 1: a different mentality I think offensively, when you can watch

181
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: that as an entire group, and most of the time

182
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: we would just watch it as a skill group, right,

183
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: like the offensive alignment. What they're doing and they're looking

184
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: at tight copies. They don't care about anything going on

185
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: besides what's inside the box. But when you can watch

186
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: as an entire you know, you get the tight ends

187
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: in there because they're really important to be able to

188
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: control that middle portion from the field, you get the

189
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers and their running backs. You want to be

190
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: able to communicate all of these things because again, like

191
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: I said, that the skill group guys, that core group

192
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: of guys that need to be all speaking the exact

193
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: same language at a very high level, and it has

194
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: to happen quickly. The margin of error is so small

195
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: in this league, and things happen so quickly that you

196
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you're flushing out anything that

197
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: might have created hesitation or a cause for Paul, or

198
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: anything that led to mistakes that weren't allowing all eleven

199
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: guys to be on the same page. Had not seen

200
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: a performance like that out of the Cardinals in any

201
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: of the first nine games of the season. More from

202
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Sunday postgame Devon Knard talking with Paul Calvici. They came

203
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: out playing harder than us from the jump, you know,

204
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: punched us in the mouth, and I don't think we

205
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: ever all the way responded offensively, defensively and probably special teams.

206
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: We didn't. Just we didn't play well enough. Again, No

207
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, no DeAndre Hopkins, justin Peugh, Max Garcia did

208
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: not play. There are four starters right there. There is

209
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: no definitive updates on Murray, though Kingsbury on Monday said, quote,

210
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: it's going to be close as far as his availability

211
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: this week. Colt McCoy dealing with a chest injury. He's

212
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: listed day to day. And I joke with you before

213
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: the show began, Drew, but your phone did not ring.

214
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals were not on the other end or

215
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: anything like that for this week emergency. Yeah. There was

216
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: though reports from Es Gainsfield Yates this morning that the

217
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: Cardinals tried to sign Shane Bouchell off the Chiefs practice

218
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: squad and the chief said no, we'll add him to

219
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the active roster. Yeah, and they have Chad Henny as

220
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: the backup. Obviously something happens in Mahomes. But just watching

221
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: the preseason, I was thoroughly impressed the way he was

222
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: throwing the football. He's a big, tall guy. He can

223
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: make all the throws. And again, if somebody's gonna try

224
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: to poach him off your your practice squad, then he

225
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: has to make a decision. And he's been in that system,

226
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: so it's in here. We probably wouldn't have been short lived,

227
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: even though you've got to keep on the roster for

228
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: three weeks. But obviously they're trying to look at some

229
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: other options. So we'll have to wait and see what

230
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: happens with practice on Wednesday. Will we see Kyle the

231
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: Murray at practice at some point this week? If not,

232
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: hopefully knock on wood, it will be Colt McCoy because

233
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: we saw him do it against San Francisco. We just

234
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: didn't see him do it against the Carolina Panthers. Yeah,

235
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: and again he got to give the Panthers a lot

236
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: of Carter. We talked about their defense all week and

237
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: the game plan was, you know, keep p J. Walker

238
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: in the pocket. He was getting rid of the ball

239
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: about two point one second, so that I think you're seeing.

240
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: Why didn't Chandler Jones get to the quarterback. He didn't

241
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: throw the ball over twenty years down the field, So

242
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: everything was kind of dink and dunk, and obviously I

243
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: thought I was Zaia struggle trying to cover Christian McCaffrey

244
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: in the open field. The Panthers did what the Cardinals

245
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: have been doing to teams this season, jump on you early,

246
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: make you one dimensional, and then all of a sudden

247
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: you walk away with a better contest, or at least

248
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: a game in which you were certainly much better as

249
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: far as the statistics were concerned. Yeah, well you make

250
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: them deviate from Plan A and you go to Plan

251
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: B or see, just you have to find a way

252
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: to overcome that. And unfortunately that wasn't the case this

253
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: weekend at home. And you can point out a lot

254
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: of different things, and you can say, well, Colt didn't

255
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: play as well as he played last week, or you know,

256
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: they're missing DeAndre, or they didn't establish the run. You know,

257
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: it was just a lot of guys not on the

258
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: same page. That's really what I kind of I mean,

259
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: you see the touchdown, even you know when Byron Murphy's

260
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: are sitting trying to communicate because they didn't get the

261
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: right coverage or communicate the in and out. So a

262
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: lot of little things that can just be cleaned up.

263
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: But the beauty of it is it's one game, you know,

264
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: and you can move on from that, and you know,

265
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: you pick up the pieces and now you're trying to

266
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: get a good taste back in your mouth going into

267
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: the bye. What I didn't like is that it happened

268
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: at home, and it was a conference game. You don't

269
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: pick and choose when you have these games, but when

270
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: we're at this point in the season, you start looking

271
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: at it, seatings and tiebreakers. It's the game that might

272
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: come back to the Cardinals, hopefully not again. Week eleven,

273
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: the Cardinals in Seattle. We'll touch on the Seahawks a

274

282
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: things Eric Arizona Cardinals football. When we come back, guess

283
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: we'll touch specifically on what did not happen offensively on

284
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. This is the Arizona Cardinals

285
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: Radio Network. First down at the thirty one of Carolina

286
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: mccoin to center bunch formation, who is right, takes the snap,

287
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: turns play action, now boots to the near side, right

288
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: throws back across the middle and it is picked off,

289
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: intercepted by Jackson at the twenty. He gets up and

290
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: runs at the thirty and he's dumped by Rondale Moore

291
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: at the thirty two. Colt McCoy tried to throw it

292
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: back to the middle of the field. It was way

293
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: over the head of the intended receiver. More than one

294
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: on their forty two under center is McCoy. It's a

295
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: quarterback sneak. Oh boy, he did not get it. He

296
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: did not get it. In fact, he may have even

297
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: lost a yard there. The Panthers stuff McCoy and the

298
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers take over in Cardinal territory for the second

299
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: time here in five minutes. Not a good start, Not

300
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: a good start at home, not a good start against

301
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: the team coming in struggling. Before Sunday, the Panthers had

302
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: lost five of six, and they beat the Cardinals thirty

303
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: four to ten. As we continue here on the Cardinals

304
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: Red sewer Port, Gregory lu Drew Stanton, and Mike Jarecki.

305
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: The play call there, the decision by Colt mccoydter third

306
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: the interception. He even acknowledges afterwards that that was not

307
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: a smart decision. I did not have a problem with

308
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: the decision to go forward on fourth down. Kingsbury historically

309
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: has been very, very aggressive. Did not like the decision

310
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: on third and one with Eno Benjamin on the field

311
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: and the quarterback sneak. I think that's just more execution

312
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: than play call. But that's that's just me. I mean

313
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: in third and one, James Connor was getting the rock.

314
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Nothing against Eno Benjamin. I mean to me, it's and

315
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: again the quarterback. I understand fourth and one. The problem

316
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: is the Panthers scored on the and then that on

317
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: their drive there because they had great field position. It

318
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: was a direct snap to McCaffrey, got down to a

319
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: two yard line and then Cameron and in Um, there's

320
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: there's a couple options there. Give it to Conner on

321
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: third down. UM obviously punt forced them to go to

322
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: length of the field, considering you already gave up you know,

323
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: seven points early sound Roddick the third play of the game. Now,

324
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I didn't know they're gonna be down twenty three nothing

325
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: at the half. You just kind of like let them

326
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: go to the length of the field with a young quarterback.

327
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you could force a turnover, but their game

328
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: plan was we're gonna run it and give McCaffrey some options,

329
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: and obviously worked. Play calling drew very subjective. You could

330
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: have the best play call and it's just not executed

331
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: very well. And then the opposite, you call a poor

332
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: play call, but it's for whatever reason, there's a slip

333
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: up or whatever, and all of a sudden it's the

334
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: ten fifteen yard game. I was like, oh, what a

335
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: great call. It's like, well, no, this guy didn't do

336
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: his job. That I didn't do his job, but no

337
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: one knows any of that. Yeah, It's like when Kyler

338
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: scrambled for that touchdown and threw the Rondel morn he

339
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: ran six yards down the silind it's unbelievable, and was like, yeah,

340
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: he made a miss and you know he sure have

341
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: gotten the ball out. But in saying all that, right, like,

342
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: you want to have a plan and you want to

343
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: have an idea going into that. So if you know

344
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: you're going forward on fourth down in your territory and

345
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: then you just get this sense of desperation going for it,

346
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: you would like to see potentially a complimentary play on

347
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: fourth and one as opposed to just a quarterback sneak

348
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: of saying Okay, well, if you know you're gonna go

349
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down, then why not sneaking on

350
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: third down if that's the case, or or you can

351
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: play off of it. Like you said, it's a game

352
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: of feeling that And that's where I think a lot

353
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: of people miss the boat with analytics is because there's

354
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: no emotion involved with analytics, and you see that, and

355
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: as a play caller, you've got to be really good

356
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: on how you feel the flow of the game is going.

357
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: So if he felt like they needed a shot an

358
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: arm and his own territory, then you know you're going

359
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: forward on fourth down, So the third down call could

360
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: be different. Now I don't know that, I can't speak

361
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: for Cliff, but if you feel like, hey, this is

362
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: a football team that we're better then and we just

363
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: need to kind of find our rhythm because we turn

364
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: the ball over early, then you punt the ball away

365
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: and you live to do that and you play the

366
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: field position game. So I mean, I've kind of outlined

367
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: my thoughts and how I would proceed as a play

368
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: caller or how I like to operate within the confines

369
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: of the game, because that first half turnovers are precious

370
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to turn the ball over as a quarterback,

371
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: and I was very cognizant of that, tried not to

372
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. But again, those those split second

373
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: decisions when you get outside the pocket and you know,

374
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: quarterback one on one says he never throw across your body,

375
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: but you do. And you can also sense that momentum

376
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: as a quarterback because you want to take control and

377
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: take charge of what's going on. So you know, that's

378
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: the fine line, and the marginal era is so small

379
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: within this league. As I had talked about earlier that

380
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: when you do that, you sit and go. Man, that

381
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: was stupid. Nobody needs to point it out to you. Now.

382
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: The way they started the game, short pass, it hurts

383
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: one yard past the AJ green for four yards and

384
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: then there's sign read. I was surprising they come out

385
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: and try to run the football a little bit. Again,

386
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: it's subjective if if obviously, if they protect McCoy, he

387
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: doesn't turn the ball over. So it's it's a trip

388
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: downward trickle effect. But again the little things that you know, again,

389
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: what it was disappointing to me is to me, energy

390
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: and passion that should be their every game, every game.

391
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's it should be in your DNA. But

392
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: they did come out for a little flat and they

393
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: did not match their intensity, and that was a disappointing thing. Again,

394
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: it's only one loss. Looking big pictures, you're still eight

395
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: in two. The sun came up today. You got to

396
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: get through this next game and then get to all

397
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: these guys back after the bye week, go into Chicago.

398
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: But again, you just don't know which one net game

399
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: is going to happen, and it clearly happened on Sunday.

400
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: The numbers don't look good from an offensive perspective. Cardinals

401
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: season load total points, total yards, net, passing yards, net,

402
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: rushing yards, and first downs. Here's quarterback Colt McCoy first

403
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: and foremost. I've got to play better. But anytime you

404
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: get in the whole fourteen points, it's tough to dig

405
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: out against the defense like that. We had some things,

406
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: we just didn't capitalize on them. You know, one guy

407
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: made a mistake here, one guy made a mistake here.

408
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: I made a mistake throwing them back across my body.

409
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: I just I can't do that. That's I know way

410
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: better than that. But all those small little things kind

411
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: of compiled on us, and we just we just dug

412
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: ourselves a giant hole we couldn't get out of again.

413
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: Seventeen nothing at the end of the first quarter, twenty

414
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: three nothing at halftime. Now on the flip side, defensively,

415
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense allowed three hundred and forty one yards

416
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: to a Panther's team that had been again struggling. They

417
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: had only scored one touchdown in their past three games

418
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: heading into Sunday's contest. And yet what they do. They

419
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: added Cam Newton his first two offensive snaps touchdown, touchdown pass.

420
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: Carolina certainly was able to do whatever it wanted against

421
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense. Here's Devon Knard. I don't make excuses

422
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: for this defense because we're a talented group and we've

423
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: been in those hard situations in place before and it

424
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: came out with stops and we didn't do it today.

425
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: We could. We could have paid it played better. We've

426
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: we've been in the red zone and gotten stops before.

427
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: We let them score too easily, and uh, you know, obviously,

428
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: playing a good team, you never want to be in

429
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: those positions, but you're going to be at times and

430
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: it's all about how you respond. And I think we

431
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: could have done a better job. You mentioned lack of touchdowns.

432
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: McCaffrey missed five games, okay, and the fact is that

433
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: he was targeted in in the you know, obviously in

434
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: the passing game. But to me, somebody else has a

435
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: step up besides Christian Kirk. I don't know if ron

436
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: del Morris hit the rookie wall, uh, Marco Wilson, he's

437
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: got to turn around for the ball. I mean, that's

438
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: their rookies. You know, normally they're getting ready for a

439
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: bowl game or conference camp championship game. AJ Green. I

440
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: want to see some other guys step up to help.

441
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: Quote McCoy out, I would think, you know, Zaccurtz is

442
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: a target, especially if you can get to the red zone.

443
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: But they just couldn't run the football and they put

444
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: them behind the sticks and obviously not good on third down.

445
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: Once again, time of possession total plays was overwhelming with

446
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Cardinals ran for just sixty five yards the

447
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Panthers one hundred and sixty six. And as much as

448
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: the addition of Cam Newton is going to be talked about,

449
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: and deservedly so, Drew, it's Christian McCaffrey who returned a

450
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: week ago, But really got his legs under him, I

451
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: think on Sunday and had between his rushing and receiving

452
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty one total yards from scrimmage. Yeah.

453
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: I mean, there's only a handful of complete backs in

454
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: this league and he's one of them. And when he's healthy,

455
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: he changed the dynamic of that offense, of that organization,

456
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: and that's why you invest in the guy like that.

457
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: That's why he knows a single digit pick as a

458
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: running back, because there's not that many of those guys.

459
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: And the effect that he had on that game was

460
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: huge because you see him coming out of the back,

461
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: feel you can split him out and how do you

462
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: cover him in that cat and mouse game that you

463
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: talk about. But I want to go back to what

464
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: MJ was talking about too. The ability to set up

465
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: your opening fifteen plays or whatever it is is really

466
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: really crucial, and you want to have that balance with

467
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: the run in the past. You want to get into

468
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: different formations, you want to get different personnel groups because

469
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: you can kind of flow feel a flow of how

470
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: the game's going to go from there. And when you

471
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: get you know, in the course of that and it

472
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: doesn't go the way you want to, you kind of

473
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: started sitting there and you hit the panic button a

474
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: little bit too early. And I think within that, when

475
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: you're also missing a guy like Chase Edmonds, a guy

476
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: that's charismatic, that gets everybody else around him to play better.

477
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: That's a guy that we haven't even mentioned today because

478
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: like James Connor is a lead back and he did

479
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: so good. But this has been all year at tandem,

480
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: and when you insert just one guy and you're worried

481
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: about overloading him or you want, you know, out there,

482
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: or all this stuff, it becomes a different dynamic if

483
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: the communication isn't there, because Chase can do a lot

484
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: of different things for you and multiple within that. And

485
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: you see the effect of the running back position because

486
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: you can't take that for granted. That's one thing that

487
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: I think has got brushed aside a little bit. And yes,

488
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: the demeanor of the team was completely different, but how

489
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: they want about attacking them, you know that they didn't

490
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: ever find that flow because they deviated right from the onset.

491
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: Unfortunately Edmunds he's gonna miss at least two more games

492
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. And then of course you watch what

493
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: Chase Edmans is capable of doing. And that's what Christian

494
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: McCaffrey was able to do with the run and the receiving.

495
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury on the Panthers running back.

496
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a tremendous player. We knew we'd get

497
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: a heavy dose of him in both the run game

498
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: and pass game. And you got to give them credit.

499
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: They had a good plan the next year at a

500
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: high level. It was fun to watch if you weren't

501
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: a Cardinals fan. Yeah, so if you got to go

502
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: back to the two previous games, he was about thirty

503
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: percent of snap count forty nine. In this game over

504
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: sixty percent, and they knew right away. They knew all

505
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: day on Sunday that they were going to run the

506
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: football or run the football and then utilized play action

507
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: and get him in the passing game. Cardinals defensively allowed

508
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: the Panthers to convert seven of fifteen on third down,

509
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: but there were not a lot of third and long situations.

510
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: In other words, Chandler Jones, Marcus Golden, Devon Kannard, could

511
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: they get after a PJ. Walker or Cam knew? And

512
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: more times than not, the answer was no, here's Gnard.

513
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 1: You know we're playing behind the eight ball, so they

514
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: did they didn't have to pass the ball very much,

515
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: and when they did it was quick passes, quick passes

516
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: to the running backs to the you know, quick slants.

517
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: So there wasn't there wasn't an awful lot of time

518
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: to to get their one. And then they're running the ball.

519
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: So you know, we weren't stopping the run well enough,

520
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: so they're they're running it down our throat and to

521
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: be able to to you know, one thing, VJ always

522
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: talks about his win first down, and you know, I

523
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: don't think we won enough of those. They got us

524
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: speaking of VJ, vanch Joseph winning on first down and

525
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: went through the numbers this morning, drew The Cardinals defense

526
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: allowed five point four yards first down. There were thirty

527
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: one plays run for a total of one hundred and

528
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards. Seventeen of the thirty one plays went

529
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: for four or more yards. So third and short or

530
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: even second and short, and all of a sudden, you

531
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: can't do what you want and be aggressive defensively. Yeah,

532
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: the playbook is wide open offensively, and that's what has

533
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: made Cam Newton his career good. When you know on

534
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: the teams that I was on here against him, as

535
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: when you're in second five, second six, there's wide open,

536
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: it's passed, run whatever you want, because it's going to

537
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: be third and manageable regardless of what you're doing. And

538
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: when they had de'angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, it's the

539
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: same type of blueprint. Right, you have a mobile quarterback

540
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: that can do that. But anytime a running back average

541
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: is almost seven and a half yards to carry, it's

542
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: going to be a long day. And the longest run

543
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: that he had was fifteen yards. Sitting here and look

544
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: at it. So you marry those two up and you see, Okay,

545
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: they weren't successful on first down, as the mine was

546
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: talking about, but then through the running backs fourteen catches

547
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: by running backs, let's you know, they weren't pushing the

548
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: ball down the field. There were no chunk plays. They

549
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: were just meticulously moving the ball down the field and eventually,

550
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, you wear out. PJ. Walker completed just under

551
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of his passes for one hundred and

552
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards, did not throw the ball beyond twenty

553
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: yards down the field. It's average per throw two point

554
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: one second. Then when people want to know why they

555
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: can't get to the quarterback. They're getting rid of the

556
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: ball quicker, they're chipping Chandler. Clearly, you know you gotta

557
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: win some one on one matchups, but it's easier said

558
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: than done. And it's not always sacks, hits, pressures, knockdowns

559
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: where it can lead to turnover. So a lot of

560
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: people are on why is and Channeler's stepping up. Well,

561
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: when they're getting rid of the ball that fast, it's

562
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: difficult to get to them, and you want that quarterback

563
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: to be standing in the pocket on second and long

564
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: or third and long, and the Panthers just didn't have

565
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: many of those opportunities on Sunday. But that was week ten.

566
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Week eleven right around the corner as we focus in

567
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,639

00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,840

Speaker 1: Drew Stanton, and Mike Drecky the Cardinals Red Sea Report

575
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Murray and Shotgun

576
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: has the football short set, throws a deep ball left side,

577
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: single coverage and it is pulled in by DeAndre Hopkins

578
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Man he's got a touchdown. Just want to throw by

579
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I want to catch by new to put

580
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals on the board with two thirty nine to

581
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: go on the first duke was one on one, great

582
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: throw by Kyler Murray, but an even better read touchdown.

583
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: We said it's gonna be Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray.

584
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: Whoever plays better, That's who's gonna win this game. Snaps

585
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: the Murray and he keeps it himself running left, got

586
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: a defender with him at the five breaks, the tackle dives,

587
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: ball comes out, but he crossed the plane. Touchdown Kyler Murray.

588
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: Somehow Someway found a way to get that pig across

589
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: paid big time play Kyler Murray. Last season, at home,

590
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals beat the Seahawks thirty seven to thirty four.

591
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: They would lose on the road in Seattle split in

592
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: the season series for the second straight year, but now

593
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: first time this season, the Cardinals will see Russell Wilson

594
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: and company. Coming up on Sunday to twenty five is

595
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: the kickoff from Lubin Field nine thirty am. Pregame coverage

596
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: begins here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network as we

597
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: walk me back to the Cardinals, Red Sea reports as

598
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: we look at the Seahawks team coming off a loss

599
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: to the Green Bay Packers seventeen to nothing. They have

600
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: lost four of five. Russell Wilson did return drew though

601
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: he did not play well. He said his finger was

602
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: not an issue. But maybe that was the game to

603
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: knock the rust off. And now this week, especially at home,

604
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: is the game we see Russell Wilson. Let's hope not.

605
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Seattle defense is always going

606
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: to be great as long as Bobby Wagner is in

607
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: the middle. I mean, he is infectious the way that

608
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: he plays. He gets everybody in the right call. They

609
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: do a lot of things. This team is different though

610
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: offensively and what they're trying to do. I think Chris

611
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: Carson not being healthy really hurts them. That guy is

612
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: an underrated back. He doesn't self familiar he doesn't get

613
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: talked about. He's just a hard nosed runner, you know.

614
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: And they're trying to transition into more of that ram

615
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: style of offense because that's who their play caller is,

616
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that really fits what Russell does.

617
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Russell wants to cook, right, and he's not

618
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: able to cook in that offense. So within what they're

619
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: trying to do, and some of the spectacular plays that

620
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: we've seen from Russ over the years, those are just

621
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: because he makes so many people missing scrambled drills. He's

622
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: so good. The game is so slow to him when

623
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: he's out of the pocket and finding guys open down

624
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: the field and doing all these things. And it seems

625
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: like Debo are not dk metcalf is continually getting personal

626
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: file penalties, he's getting thrown out of games. Like when

627
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: you have a marquee player like that and you can't

628
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: get him to consistencily play, it's really hard to establish

629
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: things on offense, and they're trying to find their running game.

630
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: They're trying to do all that much like everybody else

631
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: in this league. So you know, you want to limit

632
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: the amount of exposure you have from your quarterback. Because

633
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: you want Russ to be in their plane, much like

634
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: why you want to limit how much Kyler is running.

635
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: So it's the finding the balance within all that distributing

636
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, I think that Tyler Lockett is

637
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: a tremendously underrated player, and they are going to try

638
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: and push the ball down the field. They're going to

639
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: try and get big plays. I'm like Carolina, what their

640
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: mo is. They want to push the ball down the

641
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: field and get big plays, and they've been able to

642
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: do that in the past. Wilson twelve or forty one

643
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one yards. He who sacked three times,

644
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: two interceptions. First time. He's been shut out in one

645
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six games throughout his career, including the playoffs.

646
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: He said he's healthy. You watch the game, did you

647
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: see any difference in We know you obviously he's a

648
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: guy that can extend plays, but did you see anything

649
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: different where maybe he didn't have the same touch on

650
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: his ball. Well, I think it's just a feel for it, right,

651
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: It's one thing in practice, and there's a heightened sense

652
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: of awareness when you get out of that field and

653
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: the margin of arrogain is small. I feel like that's

654
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: my tagline for the week. But within that, when you

655
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: when you have a game like that, it is knocking

656
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: the rust off. It is doing that because you've got

657
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: to find that. It's it's a foreign feeling of like, man,

658
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: this finger and there's such pressure and where you place

659
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: pressure with your thumb and your forefinger, and how the

660
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: ball comes out when you're when you've got to put

661
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: more touch on it, or you put it in an

662
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: area or let it rip. All of these things can't

663
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: be replicated in practice. They can't because the timing isn't there,

664
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: the sense of urgency isn't there, and there's not guys

665
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: running at you live trying to hit you. Like all

666
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: of these things add up and against a Green Bay

667
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: defense that we saw a couple of weeks ago, it's

668
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: starting to play at a really high level. So a

669
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: lot of that, I think you just put it in

670
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: that box for that one week and you expect him

671
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: to come out because he's an MVP caliber of a

672
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: player that can put a team on his back as

673
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: he has in the past and go out there and

674
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: win a football game. Seahawks three and six, just one

675
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: and three at home, and the Cardinal's success on the

676
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: road in Seattle documented four and two over the last

677
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: six visits. What is it about playing in Seattle and

678
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: maybe even specifically the Cardinals going to Seattle because it

679
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: was you, Carson Bruce Arians that's kind of when things

680
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: clicked for the Cardinals going into Seattle. Well, I think

681
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: it's that mentality of us against the world, right, you

682
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: go into that hostile environment and that idiots holding this

683
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 1: sign out trying to make you feel like, you know,

684
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: my daughter's a better quarterback than you are. You guys,

685
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, have a safe flight home. There's that sense

686
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: of hey, we're going to go into this place and

687
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: the noise is going to be cranking, it is going

688
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: to be on top of you. It's gonna be so loud,

689
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: and they take pride in that twelfth Man. But when

690
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: you can go in there and as a group of men,

691
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: can go out there and put your best foot forward

692
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: and they got after. I mean, I can just remember

693
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: for all of the defensive linemen living in the backfield

694
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: with Russ and you know, Calais Campbell and all of

695
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: these guys. So there's a recipe to that. Much like

696
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: why I think there was a little bit of a

697
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: deep breath taken last week against Carolina, There's going to

698
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: be a heightened sense of urgency for a lot of

699
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: different reasons. But understanding, okay, well throw records out the window.

700
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: As J was talking about, this is a Seattle football

701
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: team that is capable of going out there. They still

702
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: have their superstars, they have a home field advantage, this

703
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: is a division game. There's all of these things that

704
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: if this team says they are who they are and

705
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: who they want to be going into the playoffs, the

706
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are going to put their best foot forward

707
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: and put a complete game together. And despite the record,

708
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: the Seahawks still just a game and a half out

709
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: of that final playoff spot, the seventh seed, which is remarkable.

710
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: But when you add that extra playoff team, more teams

711
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: now able to say, hey, we're still alive, even though

712
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: if you look at the standings MJ, the Seahawks are

713
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: fourteenth of a sixteen team conference. Yeah, I think this

714
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be a difficult game for the Cardinals regardless.

715
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if Kyler Murray was in there, I'd probably

716
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: have a different opinion on it. But Gerald Everett free

717
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: agent signing. He had eight catches for sixty three yards, Metcalf,

718
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: three catches for twenty six yards. Locket two catches for

719
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: twenty three years. He was targeted eight times. And you

720
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: know Collinses that are running back. Danny ran the ball

721
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: for seventy five yards and sixteen carries. So you got

722
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: to think those numbers are going to be increased with

723
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: Russell obviously going the first game under his belt. Those

724
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: are pedestrian numbers for guys like Tyler Locke in DK Metcalf. Yeah,

725
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: Wilson missed three games, so the numbers are kind of skewed.

726
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: You look at the thirtieth best offense, thirtieth best passing attack.

727
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: They're not scoring a ton of points, just a little

728
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: over twenty a game. So a lot of things when

729
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: you look at numbers and then you look at the film.

730
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we could see a very different Seahawks team

731
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: here in week eleven that we've seen the first ten weeks. Yeah,

732
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: much like Carolina, right, who they have who's going to

733
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: be out there playing quarterback for them? What's the structure

734
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: of the game and playing gonna look like can you

735
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: take away what they want to do best? I mean,

736
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: all of these things are going to play into that.

737
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: Dk Metcalf is too talented. He's waiting to kind of

738
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: come back onto the scene because he's faded into the

739
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: abyss and he's capable of doing it. And that's a

740
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a scary matchup whoever you try and

741
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: put on him, because how do you stop him and

742
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: how do you look at that with a guy? Because

743
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: then who's covering Tyler Lockett and Gerald Everett. Again, they

744
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: went out and got a free agent signed him because

745
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: they want to control that middle port from the field.

746
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: So it's all gonna come down to stopping the run game,

747
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: try and make them one dimensional, and then Vance is

748
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: going to try and pressure and heat him up and

749
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: get him to the ground. I'll say this, ever since

750
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: Wilson was out, this defense has played a lot better.

751
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: They're ninth and points allowed twenty point seven. Cardinals are

752
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: fifth eighteen point nine wash. Now they are given a

753
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: four hundred yards a game to get about two seventy

754
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,479
Speaker 1: five in the passing game, one hundred and twenty five

755
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: in the rush. Defense don't really get to the quarterback

756
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: only fifteen sacks. But again, when when he was out,

757
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: they kind of shortened the game a little bit with

758
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: Gino Smith and what was Gino one and two? And

759
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: he had an opportunity maybe to win another game there.

760
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: But the defense really stepped up. I was when I

761
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: looked it up this morning, I'm like, Wow, they're in

762
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: the top ten points allowed, and really that all it

763
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: matters when you're playing defense. No, you still got Russell Wilson,

764
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: you still got Bobby Wagner on defense, and it doesn't

765
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: matter when you talk about division games. Case in point,

766
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. The Rams head and shoulders more talented

767
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: and have been playing better than the forty nine ers.

768
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: Yet what happened? And now again people are gonna say,

769
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: all right, how do you respond now after a loss

770
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: at home to the Carolina Panthers. Yeah a good point.

771
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah again, tell me who's playing. I really think the

772
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals wanted to get through the Seattle game and then

773
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: get the bye week, and I think we'll see any

774
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: more injuries obviously would not be good, but their gear

775
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: not really for after the bye week Chicago, the Monday

776
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: Night game against the Rams. They feel like that's where

777
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to make a run and

778
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: get everyone back hop Kyler. Now we'll see what happens

779
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: this week in practice, but I know that after the

780
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: bye week they feel like they're going to hit the

781
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 1: reboot button and that's where they're going to excel going

782
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: into the postseason again. Question marks with Colet, excuse me

783
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray, Colton McCoy, DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Pugh, Max Garcia.

784
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: So we'll kind of wait and see what happens as

785
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: far as who or who is not on the practice

786
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: field Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There is perhaps some good

787
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: news at running back. Jonathan Ward might be available this

788
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: week because Tavi and Fistrew was signed to the active

789
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: roster has since been released, But no Chase Edmonds once

790
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: again this week. He'll miss at least two more games

791
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: counting this Sunday. Sure, that was pretty impressive. We talked

792
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: an entire segment about the Seattle Seahawks, and not once

793
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: did we bring up a dance the sideline antics of

794
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: one Drew Stanton just type in Drew Stanton twenty fifteen

795
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks in the YouTube machine. They had an ISO on him,

796
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: an IO camera on him, Otherwise we never would have

797
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: seen it. Episode eights of Cardinals Folk Tales entitled Money

804
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: come back, the rest of the NFC West and how

805
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: it shapes up for the Arizona Cardinals. It is fourth

806
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: and five for the Niners. Garoppolo and the guns shotgun Snap.

807
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: They rush five sets in the pocket, thirst down the middle,

808
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: Cardinal thirty yard man Jenna Brikson tackle twenty on the

809
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: numbers the ten to five. They'll chase him into the

810
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: end zone. Touchdown San Francisco. On fourth and five. They

811
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: take it in and it may be the dagger forty

812
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass Garoppolo to Samuel and it's thirty seven

813
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: manners gut Sea, decision to go forth. Their great execution

814
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: on the pass and completion forty yards Deebo, Samuel, Kevin Harland,

815
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: Westwood won as the forty nine Ers win their fifth

816
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: in a row over the Los Angeles Rams and I

817
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: believe won their first home game in like over a year,

818
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: and that does count the two games that they played

819
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: at State Farm Stadium a year ago. But again, as

820
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,959
Speaker 1: we opened the show here on the Cardinals Red Sea report,

821
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 1: thank you very much San Francisco forty nine ers, because

822
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have a one game lead, and really with

823
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker, it's a two game lead now in the division.

824
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals eight and two, Rams seven and three, but Cardinals

825
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: are three and o in the division, the Rams one

826
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: and two in the division. Yeah, and obviously they were thrilled,

827
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: and I thought it was one of the better offseason

828
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: moves going out and getting me Matthew Stafford. You lose

829
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: Robert Woods though he was missing last night. They gotta

830
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: work Beckham in there. We know Cooper Cup but um yeah,

831
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's in their defense is they're getting gashed.

832
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: They were able to run the ball forty four times

833
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: last night and it wasn't even close. And at some

834
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: point you knew that they couldn't stop at forty four

835
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: Russia's for one hundred and fifty six yards. So yeah,

836
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was a big difference in you know,

837
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh, they're making a lot of mistakes they haven't

838
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: made it before. They have more penalties than they've had

839
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: in the past. So they're not playing complimentary football, and

840
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: that's where they benefited from that defense, and when John

841
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: Fossil was their special team's bones. They're not. They're not

842
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: like playing complimentary football, and it's showing up on the scoreboard.

843
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: The most impressive part of that game last night therew though,

844
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: was watching the first quarter. It's fifteen minutes long. Typically

845
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: what it takes but thirty five forty minutes to go

846
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: through an entire first quarter, and last night that fifteen

847
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: minutes took about maybe twenty minutes because in an eleven

848
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: minute drive, and it was a thing of beauty just

849
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: to watch how effective the forty nine ers offensively were,

850
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: how lost the Rams defensively looked. Oh yeah, I mean

851
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: it was a fifteen play drive? Is fifteen at that

852
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: at the point that it was that I heard, and

853
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: I was like, man, that's demoralizing when you can do that,

854
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: or vice versa. You make somebody go three and out

855
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: or sack wall, all of these things. How you enter

856
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: into the game is imperative, and they were able to

857
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: do that with ease and never look back. So you know,

858
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: you look at this division and you see how talented

859
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 1: it is. But I am a firm believer of team

860
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: chemistry and the Rams don't have it. You look at

861
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: losing a guy that is the heart and soul and

862
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: Robert Woods and what they were talking about. That takes

863
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: a toll. And you can add as much talent in

864
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: Von Miller and Odell Beckham and you can go out

865
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: and make these offseason moves. How is a team sport

866
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: going to be dictated by you know, pro bowlers. It's

867
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: hard because it's all got to mesh. It's all got

868
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: to come together, especially on defense. I mean, we've talked

869
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: at nausea about gap control and playing for each other

870
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: and doing that and that's what this Cardinal defense has

871
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: done so well at such a high level for so long.

872
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: So how can that chemistry mix and how can everybody

873
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: kind of come together because talent isn't just the only

874
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: issue that matters within how you go about playing this

875
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: game and how you go out about winning a division.

876
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: Really then, and that's what you want to see December football.

877
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: Are you playing your best football in December? Because are

878
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: you playing for one another? Cardinals and Seahawks coming up

879
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But when you look at what the rest

880
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: of the division has, the Rams are off this week

881
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: and then play at the Packers, and the forty nine Ers,

882
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: who have won two of three, play at the Jaguars.

883
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: So again, we talked about the Seahawks still being alive

884
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: for that seven seed. The forty nine Ers are certainly

885
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: alive for the seventh seed. Yeah, I'm going back to

886
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: that drive. Obviously, it was an interception, eighteen plays, eighty

887
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: eight yards ninety three and they had seven first downs

888
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: eleven minutes off the clock. Yeah. You talk about setting

889
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: the tone, and they did it the entire game. I

890
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure the Seahawks just want to get

891
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: back in you know, the winners circle gonna up of wins.

892
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: But again they're gonna go as like the Cardinals with

893
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray if Russell Wilson's still not ready, and again

894
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: he's going to be the starting quarterback, but I gotta

895
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be able to put some points on

896
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: the board. And it could come down to the Cardinals

897
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: defense secondary trying to cover these guys down the field,

898
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: because I gotta assume they're gonna try to bring. You know,

899
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: some chunk players loosen things up so they can try

900
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: to run the football. Now, that's the division as far

901
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: as the conference is concerned. The Cardinals the two seed

902
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: because of their head to head loss with the Packers,

903
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: who will be at Minnesota this week. Then you look

904
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys that are on the road at the

905
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: Chiefs go Kansas City. The Buccaneers play the Giants on

906
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. The Saints are at the Eagles, and

907
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: the Panthers, who have the seventh seed, are at home

908
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: to Washington. And yes, we are sitting here getting ready

909
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: for week eleven and we're talking about seedings. And I

910
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: don't know, Drew, maybe that's that's taboo for the player's standpoint,

911
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: but that's what we do when we have six days

912
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: between games. Players, you've got you've got filmed to break down,

913
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: and we're sitting there figuring out, all right, if this

914
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: team loses and that team wins, and what can help

915
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Yeah, I'm over here chuckling as you can see,

916
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: because I've never talked about more jockeying per positions in

917
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: my life of playoffs come now and all that. I

918
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: think as a player, you are aware of Okay, we've

919
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: got an NFC matchup, we've got an AFC matchup. Oh,

920
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: these guys are going here. You can get a little
