Speaker 2: Here tween go one handed catching a touchdown?

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: Oh baby, how's that film? Here's Craiggriolu, Paul Calvic and

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: two time pro bowler Lorenzo Alexander.

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: Here we are in mid December, and it is strange, gentlemen,

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: that we have a bye week. In our rearview mirror

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: thirteen straight games. I want to include the preseason training camp.

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: This team has been going non stopped, a well deserved break,

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: but now it is back to work. Someone was the

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: last well the latest buy that you can remember that

20
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: you had in your career. I know typically you want it. Yeah,

21
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: in the middle of the season to kind of break

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: it up. But if you're playing well, you don't want

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: that buy to come. If you're not playing well, hey,

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 3: we need a break.

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 4: I don't know what the latest I've ever had a

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: bye I don't know if I've had it won this late,

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: but probably maybe two weeks earlier than this. It's probably

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: the latest I've ever had won in it. Depending on

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 4: how the season is going, it just feels like a

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 4: long time and you do need a break. And for me,

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: by the end of it, I didn't care if he

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: was playing well or not. I needed to get a

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: break and be able to decompress a little bit and

34
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 4: let the body heel up so you can finish the

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 4: season strong, because that's what it's all about at the

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: end of the day, is being able to start fast,

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: put some stuff in the bank, and then obviously winning

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 4: in November, December and even in the January. Now with

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: the extra game is the significant where you really want

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: to be rolling and feeling healthy.

41
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 5: Come on now, Lorenzo Alexander didn't need no stinking bye week.

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 5: You're probably out there on your own hitting the sled

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 5: during the bye week.

44
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 4: Come on now, I was still getting it in, but

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 4: I eat the older I got man, I need it.

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: The young and dumb version of me I didn't need it,

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 4: But you realize that take it, appreciate those times where

48
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: you can let stuff go, because that's the hardest part of.

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 6: The game, is being locked in for so long.

50
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 4: Understanding the intensity of the game, the contentious nature of

51
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 4: the game it can be depending on where you're at

52
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: on that roster spot, and then whether or not how

53
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 4: well the season is going, and to be able to

54
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: get away from that sometimes it allows you to come

55
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: back with a new and refresh mind, really more so

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 4: than your body, so that you can kind of lock

57
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: in and really finish off well.

58
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: So more mental than physical or does that change as

59
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: you as your yours years continue in the league.

60
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: The older you get, it becomes more about For me,

61
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: at least it was. It's it's probably less about the

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 4: body when you're young, probably less about your mind too.

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: To be honest, I think both of those things, because

64
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing for me is obviously I'm

65
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 4: getting older, my body feels bores, so I definitely want

66
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: to get away from it.

67
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 6: But mentally, I think.

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 4: Understanding how hard something is to do right on top

69
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: of my body being hurting. For me, it was good

70
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: to really get away from from it and so I

71
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: can just not think about it or not have to

72
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 4: worry about how I'm gonna feel Sunday morning. I'm gonna

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: do I feel juiced, I got some legs, or I'm

74
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: gonna have to This is gonna be one of the

75
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: grinder games where I gotta have some you know, some

76
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: false enthusiasm on the sideline.

77
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: Back in the day, we used to do a TV bit.

78
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 5: We'd walk around the locker room right before bye week,

79
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: show me your injury, right, and some you could put

80
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 5: on camera and some you couldn't.

81
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: Right.

82
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 5: It was amazing how many multiple things guys were dealing with,

83
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: you know, the guys who would really kind of played

84
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 5: to the camera. But okay, so I got this in

85
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: week three and then they roll up their sleeve. I

86
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 5: had this in week seven, and it was amazing the

87
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 5: variety and amount of injuries the guys would play through

88
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 5: each every season. Didn't matter to the position. Of course,

89
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 5: then even like the long snapper and kicker and punter

90
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 5: would want to step up and flex some sort of

91
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 5: bruise they got, I mean, come on, right, and then

92
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 5: get a hard time, but yeah, it is remarkable what

93
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 5: everyone's dealing with.

94
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and to be you know, full disclosure, I'm dealing

95
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 4: with something now too, So I showed up for you guys.

96
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 6: I had to get my knees rained yesterday, Oh doctor.

97
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: Free Burg, you know, just an old football injury, so

98
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 4: I could sit down without my knee hurting.

99
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 6: I had to get a little awesome c seeds removed

100
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 6: and now I'm feeling good. So we you know, he

101
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 6: always a player.

102
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 5: We did Gananon's TV show yesterday. Wolf's dealing with another

103
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 5: dental ailment. I'm like, did you play ten years in

104
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 5: the NFL or the NHL? I mean, you could got

105
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: more teeth issues and like Gordy Howe back in the day.

106
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 6: They weren't flying out at you though.

107
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 5: Way Oh thank god, my gosh, come on now, Wolf.

108
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: So playing through the pain here on this week's edition

109
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: of the Cardinals Red Sea Report, presented by Seek Your

110
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 3: Ticket to Great Seats. The bye did come at a

111
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: good time. It always does, especially when you're dealing with

112
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: a number of injuries that the Cardinals have been dealing with. Here,

113
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: head coach Jonathan Gannon.

114
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 7: We've been at it for a long time, so you know,

115
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 7: I know they had a little pep in their step.

116
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 7: They needed the break, and it was obviously later than normal,

117
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 7: but pros and cons of having your break where it's

118
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 7: at right now. But I got some guys healthy, hopefully

119
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 7: turning the corner a couple guys.

120
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 5: It was good to see the bonus practice on Monday,

121
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 5: as Gannon calls it, it was good to see a

122
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 5: Michael Wilson back out there running routes. It was good

123
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: to see Antonio Hamilton Starling Thomas. They were so thin

124
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: at cornered the last couple of games. So that's the benefit,

125
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 5: right You got two full weeks off between games and

126
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 5: some of these guys who needed that extra time, and

127
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: the Cardinals definitely need their services. A big receiver Michael

128
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 5: Wilson who had a big game the last time they

129
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: played the forty nine ers.

130
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 6: So that was a welcome sight.

131
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: Still no Hollywood Brown, although Gannon did say on Monday

132
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: that they're encouraged and Brown does feel better, but that

133
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: heel injuries though it's something that he is playing through.

134
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: It's not practicing, but he is showing up on game

135
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: day and you like the see that. At the same time,

136
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: you want to make sure you're getting those reps with

137
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: the quarterback within this offense and not just waiting until

138
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: game day.

139
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's definitely important.

140
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: I mean anytime that you're working with the quarterback that

141
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: hasn't been able to be been out there and was

142
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 4: dealing with his own injury issues earlier on in this season,

143
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: so hopefully.

144
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 6: You kind of get back right.

145
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: But at this point you're trying to just make sure

146
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: that you're healthy and feeling good on game day, and

147
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 4: so you just have to kind of play and deal

148
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: with those type of things. I think another thing as

149
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: we talk about the buye what's given you? You know,

150
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 4: Kyler was able to get four games in right, So

151
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: we really been able to sit back now and assess

152
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: what that four game package look like for him.

153
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 6: Where can he grow, where can he improve? Where this

154
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 6: offense right?

155
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: The coordinator getting to understand, okay, maybe we can do

156
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: some of these things as well.

157
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 6: I think it's a good time for that.

158
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: Because four games is normally a pretty good sample size

159
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: where you can kind of get a good flow of

160
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 4: what you're doing and who you are, and where we

161
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: can grow and be different and maybe even add in

162
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: some you know, different wrinkles as we move forward.

163
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 3: Over those games Kyler Murray two and two. More from

164
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: the head coach, Jonathan Gannon, what he has seen from

165
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: Kyler from that first game to most recently in Pittsburgh.

166
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 7: You know, operationally, make sure we're doing a good job

167
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 7: in and out of the huddle. Can guys you know,

168
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 7: situated getting us in the right checks and calls and

169
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 7: then playing at a high level, which he's done. So

170
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 7: excited for him for this week to go against a

171
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 7: really good football team at home, see if we can

172
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 7: put our best foot forward.

173
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that really good football team is the San Francisco

174
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers coming to State Farm Stadium on Sunday

175
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: two oh five. Is the kickoff for that one. The

176
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers ten and three, number one seed in

177
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: the NFC right now based off all the tie breakers,

178
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: and of course they lead the NFC West Cardinals, though

179
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: looking more at themselves, Paul and specifically Kyler Murray. To

180
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: Zoe's point earlier, a nice breakup of these eight games

181
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: for Kyler, and it was interesting to hear Kyler talk about, Yeah,

182
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: my preseason is now kind of done four games and

183
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: now these final four games moving into the offseason.

184
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 5: I really wonder if the Cardinals offense found a new

185
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 5: identity in that Pittsburgh game. Was that a one off,

186
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 5: Was that a game plan against the Steelers, or was

187
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 5: that a new identity? Was that Kyler having a bit

188
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: of an epiphany? Perhaps you saw it against the Rams

189
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 5: didn't work so well the week before when he was

190
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 5: what under center only five times three times? On the

191
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 5: it was eight times five times in the opening drive.

192
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 5: But then look at this game against Pittsburgh, twenty four

193
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 5: times under center, they ran it thirty eight times. He

194
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 5: targeted tight ends, win in doubt, go to the tight end.

195
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: It was just a new identity in so many different ways.

196
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 5: And I wonder if finally, ultimately you're going to see

197
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 5: the Drew Petsen offense that we all anticipated come in

198
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: into this season, which is under the Kevin Stefanski tree

199
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 5: what you see in Cleveland. Did we not finally see

200
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 5: that against the Steelers?

201
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: And that was the thought I had after I watched

202
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: that game last week as well. And was it more

203
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: about gameplay, because if I remember right, majority of those

204
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: under the center snaps came in the second half. If

205
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: I rewatched the game and I'm remembering the way the

206
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 4: game played out, and so did some of it have

207
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 4: to do it weather?

208
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 8: Right?

209
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: Did some of it have to do with the score,

210
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: and then just the game flow of where they were at,

211
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: and so where they sprinkle those things in even in

212
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 4: like normal game play, because I don't feel I feel

213
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: like the first half was closer towards that RAMS game

214
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: and then they kind of gravitated to more under the

215
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: center in the second half, and so all you know,

216
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: the weather, all these other factors sometimes playing at the score,

217
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: how you playing that day, and then obviously the weather

218
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 4: was significant, pieces so was that more why they're under.

219
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 6: Center, why they're running the ball more?

220
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: And just want to see because I think it should

221
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 4: be more evenly spread out throughout a game as you

222
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 4: see like the forty nine ers do a lot of right,

223
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: a lot of under center stuff, and then they come

224
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 4: out and shotgun kind of throughout the game and not

225
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: like spurts of it where they're like lumped together and

226
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: then you don't see it for a while and then

227
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: it spurts together and then you don't see it for

228
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: a while. I think that's what I want to see.

229
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 4: How the evolution after this bye week is like, oh, Hey,

230
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 4: I think you're comfortable. We just had a ton of

231
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: reps of it right in his last game. Let's see

232
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: if we can work it in throughout the totality of

233
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 4: the game versus in moments.

234
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 5: The other thing, Craig, is that And I asked Kyler

235
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 5: about this after the game in Pittsburgh. You started zero

236
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: for four and third down, then ripped off nine of

237
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 5: your next eleven. What was the difference? And Kyler admitted

238
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 5: that he was playing a little too fast in particular footwork.

239
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 5: And Jonathan Gannon agreed with that after the game and

240
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 5: said Kyler came to him. They had a conversation after

241
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 5: the third possession of Kyler said, you know what, I

242
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 5: got this. I just self corrected myself. I'm just too

243
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 5: fast with the footwork. It's and I'm and I'm not

244
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 5: in sync with the receivers.

245
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 6: That's great.

246
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 5: And so that game, whether it was the scheme or

247
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 5: whether it was the quarterback and some of the mechanics,

248
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 5: I just think it was a huge step forward. Yeah,

249
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 5: and really an epiphany in some ways. And I'm really

250
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 5: curious how this plays out now the final four games.

251
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 4: And I didn't hear that that that clip from Kyler.

252
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: But to your point, I noticed that he missed a

253
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: couple of throws early on and he was sped up.

254
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 6: That is great self awareness.

255
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: To be able to have that ability to feel that

256
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: you are working too fast. A lot of people don't

257
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: have that, and even on the highest levels you would

258
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 4: be amazed, like I did that, Yeah, you did it.

259
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: But to be able to feel in the moment while

260
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: things are on the line, go to his coach when

261
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: they're having a conversation and be able to say, yeah,

262
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 4: that's just on me. I got to slow down and

263
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 4: then make the correction.

264
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 7: Uh.

265
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 6: He's definitely moving in the right direction. That's huge.

266
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: Speaking of k One, here's his thoughts on those first

267
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: four games. He's talked post game after the Steelers win.

268
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 8: Man, every time I touch the field, I expect to win.

269
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 8: So obviously, you know, still frustrated with the two losses

270
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 8: that you know, me playing, you know, and dealing with

271
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 8: those losses. But I was talking to Is and just

272
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 8: you know, this is technically you know, preseason for me.

273
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 8: Four weeks in the season. Yeah, I told him, you know,

274
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 8: starting to slow down for me and getting more comfortable,

275
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 8: and I could, you know, I just feel better out

276
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 8: there right now, so hopefully we can keep, you know,

277
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 8: keep getting better and keep continue to grow.

278
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: Overall, Kyler's numbers after four games almost sixty one percent

279
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: completion percentage, three touchdowns, two interceptions, but ninety one pass

280
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: attempts without an interception. That is the run that he

281
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: is on. And going back to that conversation, it did

282
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: show Sunday in Pittsburgh that Kyler doesn't have to do

283
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 3: it all by himself. And if you have that offense

284
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: working and clicking and everyone is on the same page,

285
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: you can hand the ball off to James Connor, you

286
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: can give Trey McBride a number of different targets. It

287
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 3: doesn't just have to be Kyler himself. And I think

288
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 3: too many times over those first four years for Kyler

289
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: he felt like he had to do it and if

290
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: he had an off game there was no chance of

291
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: the team winning.

292
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that just goes with putting more talent around

293
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: you and then growing as a player understanding that I

294
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: can spread this out. I mean, if you look at

295
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 4: all the great ones that have ever played it, whether

296
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 4: it's Tom Brady, Air and Rodgers, whether it's Pat Mahomes,

297
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, right, they have guys around him that are

298
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 4: able to make plays. Yes, he's the orchestrator of it,

299
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: but you have to be able to trust your running

300
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 4: game in certain certain times. You have to trust your

301
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 4: tight end of receivers that you're going to put a

302
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: ball somewhere and even when it's not perfect, they're gonna

303
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 4: go up and make it play for you. Right, And

304
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: so this is the you know, the conundrum of being quarterback.

305
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: They get so much pressure, but they're the most dependent

306
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: player on that field, the offensive line, you know, being

307
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: able to block for you. I thought the offensive line

308
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 4: was really off versus the Rams. You know, they didn't

309
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: play well, so that impacts Kyler's ability to be effective.

310
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: So all those things, right, I think Kyler is learning

311
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: that I can take some of this pressure off running

312
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 4: the ball. Being under center helps that. So when I

313
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: am in drop back or I am doing some other

314
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: things where I'm booting can incentuate my athleticism. It's gonna

315
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: make the game that much easier for you. And I

316
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 4: think he's starting to really figure that out and learn

317
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: about that and to your point, being able to spread

318
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 4: and lean on some other guys because it's only gonna

319
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: allow his start to get bigger, because now I got

320
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 4: to worry about other guys before just worrying about Kyler Murray.

321
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 5: I mean, how's it going this season for Patrick Mahomes,

322
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: the greatest in the game minus some of his receivers

323
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 5: he could count on in the past, right now going so, well,

324
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 5: look what Brock Purdy is doing. He's getting the ball

325
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 5: to Debo Samuel and George Kittle and Brandon Ayuk and

326
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 5: handing it off to Christian McCaffery and throwing it to

327
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 5: him as well. Look at those weapons, the way they're

328
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 5: able to deploy those guys. Look at the numbers. It's

329
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 5: that sort of winning football by the quarterback. Did Kyler

330
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 5: have great passing numbers? No, I don't care. He was

331
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 5: ten to seventeen on third down really tennis sixteen if

332
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: you don't count the heel down three of three in

333
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 5: the red zone. Didn't turn the ball over against the

334
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 5: top five takeaway defense. So a lot of the winning

335
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 5: stats I thought Kyler excelled at.

336
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, that's all you

337
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: care about is did you win the game on Sunday?

338
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: I mean, he won Rookie of the Year. He's been to

339
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 5: two Pro Bowls. He wants to win, he needs to win.

340
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: That's the stat that matters right now.

345
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: in year two. That's ahead here on the Arizona Cardinals

346
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: radio network.

347
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: Minute forty seven ago in a half, the game tight

348
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: at three apiece, snap to Murray, five step drop, steps up,

349
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: grows high over the middle but want to catch inside

350
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: the thirty yard line by McBride for a first down

351
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: at the twenty seven where he's tackled. But that was

352
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: an incredible grab. That was a high pass that McBride

353
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: went up the ladder and pulled in. Snapped to Murray.

354
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: He'll throw book's lapt fire's lapt in the end zone.

355
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: It is caught by mcfride. Hey, it's a touchdown, Tyler.

356
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: Murray engineers a ninety nine yard touchdown drive and the

357
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: Cardinals take a ninety three lead in Pittsburgh.

358
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 8: Yeahs confidence to the roof, you know He's become a

359
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 8: match of nightmare for you know, whoever's on him. You

360
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 8: know they're gonna put a safety on the stuff for

361
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 8: safety's guard him. Sue Breath let it Sky's Alina for Trade.

362
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: The voice of Kyler Murray talking about his second year

363
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: tight end Trey McBride, who, by the way, on Monday,

364
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: he met the media and was still bothered the fact

365
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: that he had to catch a touchdown pass twice in

366
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: order for it to count. He still laments the fact

367
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: that he was not ruled a successful catch, but they

368
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: went back to him. Scored against the Steelers and the

369
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: Cardinals win in Pittsburgh twenty four to ten. As we say,

370
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: welcome back, it is the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented

371
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: by Seat Geek, your ticket, the great seats, Craig Reialou,

372
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: Paul Calvic and Lorenzo Alexander. And we put the spotlights

373
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: on right now, Zoe, you're leading receiver for the Arizona Cardinals,

374
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: Trey McBride in catches and receiving yards.

375
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 6: He's been dominant all year. You know, obviously a very.

376
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 4: A player that had surprised us all in a lot

377
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: of ways, right being injured last year and just hearing

378
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: that clip again. He was an integral part of that

379
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 4: ninety nine yard drive, which was significant.

380
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 6: You almost forget. I mean that felt like I feel

381
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 6: like two years ago, like man, that was this happened.

382
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 5: But and by the way, that was in the driving

383
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 5: rain at that point. Yes, he's making a lot of

384
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 5: those catches in the rain, so that.

385
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 4: Was impressive as well. And he's just risen confidence, right.

386
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 4: I think breeze production is a huge part of that.

387
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 4: And then you have Kyler now that's making throws and

388
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: making it really and being really intentional about giving him

389
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: the ball, and he like a lot of these new

390
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: age tight ends are like these hybrids where if you

391
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: put a safety, most safeties aren't athletic enough, linebackers aren't

392
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: athletic enough, corners are typically too small, and so he's

393
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 4: a matchup nightmare. And that's what the game of football,

394
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: especially at this level, becomes. It becomes less about the

395
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: X and o's. But let me place a guy where

396
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 4: I'm going to create a matchup issue for him, and

397
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 4: most people don't have that type of personnel to line

398
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 4: up and guard a guy like that. So he's going

399
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: to continue to grow, continue to be impactful. He just

400
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: needs to make sure that he continues to work on

401
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 4: the little things. Not worry about, you know, too much.

402
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 4: Just worry about this game, worry about this week. And

403
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: I think if there's any place that he can continue

404
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 4: to grow, it's just blocking, you know, things like that,

405
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: being more physical, being more consistent there. But the dude

406
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 4: is he's going to be considered, you know, one of

407
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 4: the top tier tight ends as he continues to consistently

408
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: be able to put up numbers like this week in

409
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: and week.

410
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: Out, and listening to him speak Paul on Monday, when

411
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: he was asked about what's next, he didn't talk about

412
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 3: catching the ball. It was helping in the run game,

413
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 3: helping in the pass game. Going back to what Zoe said,

414
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 3: it's the blocking that he thinks he can improve upon.

415
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, well said he heard that, and he got up

416
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: out of his chair and thrust his fist into the air. Okay, right,

417
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 5: so all right, and that's great, and yes, it is vital,

418
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 5: there's no doubt. And if he's tracking to be a

419
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 5: George Kittle knock on wood, then great, really stouted the

420
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 5: point of attack, an aggressive blocker and then able to

421
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 5: make plays downfield and the pass catching game. But to me,

422
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: he really took off after zach Ertz went away with injury,

423
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 5: and I just think a he was more the primary

424
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 5: target obviously without zach Ertz there, b they flexed him

425
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 5: out a little bit more used him in the passing game.

426
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 5: See maybe the shadow of a three time Roll Bowl

427
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 5: tight end was no longer hindering his progress and perhaps

428
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 5: even his confidence. I think once he got out there,

429
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 5: he not only proved did everyone watching, he proved it

430
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: to himself that he could make plays at this level

431
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: and he could make plays with extra attention. In the

432
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 5: last two games, he's gotten extra attention over the top.

433
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 5: I talked to him about that. He said, you know what,

434
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 5: I'm used to it for my college days. It doesn't

435
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 5: deter him from still going up and making some big

436
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 5: grabs in traffic. Really athletic catches. That one down the

437
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 5: seam where he skied up into the air from field

438
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 5: level just remarkable. He's able to snatch that out of

439
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 5: the air with a defender all over him, so it's

440
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 5: really impressive. And he told us in the Big Read

441
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 5: Rage a couple of weeks ago that a coach early

442
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 5: in his college career told him. You should never go

443
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 5: down on first contact. It always takes multiple guys to

444
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 5: bring him down.

445
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that is the difference between being

446
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 4: a good player and a great player. When people start

447
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 4: gang planning you and giving you extra attention and you

448
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 4: can still find ways. You know, when you think about

449
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 4: kel Her Kittles or some of the other great tight

450
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: ends in our game's history. When people start doubling you

451
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 4: and you're still getting open, still putting up ninety plus yards,

452
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 4: you know you're and you're being active and getting better

453
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 4: each and every single week. That's when you can say, okay,

454
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 4: man is something to this young man. He has something

455
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 4: great to him if he can consistently continue to do that.

456
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 4: I'm really excited to see what this happens, especially as

457
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: we think a little further in the draft and you

458
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: start putting some big time pieces on the outside. It

459
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 4: only makes this offense that much more dynamic. And then

460
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 4: go back to the blocking thing too, Right, he doesn't

461
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: have to knock a guy ten fifteen yards off the ball, right.

462
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 4: I think if I'll played against a guy named Jason Witten,

463
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: one of the greatest pass catchers at tight end, he

464
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: wasn't an I'm gonna knock you off the ball type dude.

465
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 4: But he had just had great technique of how to

466
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 4: shield guys and make it really hard for you to

467
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: get off and get to your blockers, and had the

468
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: attitude of I'm going to help, and so that's all

469
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 4: you really need, right. I don't even look like because

470
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 4: Kittle is another beast. I just need you to be

471
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: able to be effective and efficient and make it hard

472
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 4: for outside backers or dns to get off your block

473
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: and allow your athletes, right, James gond, It don't need much,

474
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 4: you know, if you just hold a do it up

475
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 4: a little bit as an arm tackle, that's a great block.

476
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 4: You don't have to be knocking guys ten to fifteen

477
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 4: yards off the ball right now.

478
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 3: As far as catching the ball, Trey McBride top ten

479
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 3: among tight ends in the league as far as receptions

480
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: and receiving yards. So the question was asked, does he

481
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: feel like he belongs in that category of a George

482
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: Kittle or Travis Kelcey.

483
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 9: You know, we all do things differently, but I feel

484
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 9: like I can, you know, do it with the best

485
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 9: of them. You know, I feel like I can catch

486
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 9: the ball well, I can run the block, you know. Well,

487
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 9: so you know, i'd love to, you know, continue to

488
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 9: build this and hopefully you know, have my name in

489
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 9: the conversation with some of those guys too.

490
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: And we really haven't seen a full season of Trey McBride.

491
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: A year ago, he was behind zach Ertz. The start

492
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 3: of this season, again behind zach Ertz. So now these

493
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 3: last what since Week eight, it's been Trey McBride, and

494
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 3: then you have a full offseason within this offense, very

495
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: little changing Kyler Murray healthy this offseason. So really year three, Paul,

496
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 3: I think for McBride will kind of get a sense

497
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 3: of where he can what he can do within this offense.

498
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 5: You see it even on the sideline just being down there.

499
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 5: He's so much more loose now, you could tell. And

500
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 5: zach Ertz made a comment about like he was really

501
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 5: hard on himself as a rookie, trying to do everything

502
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 5: just perfect, and you know, and then he ended up

503
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 5: maybe overthinking things a little too much. Now on the sideline,

504
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 5: it's like he's back in his college days or high

505
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 5: school days. He's laughing, he's messing around, he's ultra confident,

506
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: yet he's demanding of himself. When he doesn't make some

507
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 5: ridiculously difficult catches and hasn't happened a lot, he'll come

508
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 5: to the sideline he had. His expectations of himself, right

509
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 5: are immense.

510
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you gotta find that balance as a player, Right,

511
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 4: Where does it meet where I understand what the defense

512
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 4: is doing. I have my tips, I know how I

513
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 4: want to operate. But that doesn't take away from your

514
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: instinct and joy of the game.

515
00:22:59,640 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 6: Right.

516
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 4: You know, we called that paralysis by analysis, and sometimes

517
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 4: it's really hard, especially when you're getting fed what a

518
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 4: water holes and you're taking all this information in and

519
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 4: you professional and I gotta be X y Z and

520
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: you put all this additional pressure on yourself.

521
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 6: It slows you down a little bit.

522
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 4: And I think that's sometimes that learning curve that rookies

523
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 4: have to go through to kind of figure out where's

524
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 4: that good mix for me? And as I grow as

525
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 4: a football player, I can take on more. So it's

526
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 4: good to see him doing that. In addition with him

527
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 4: moving forward. When you want to be mentioned with the greats,

528
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 4: it's all about consistency, right, because we all can jump in. Right.

529
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 6: I had a year where I had twelve and a

530
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 6: half secks.

531
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 4: I'm not an all time great because I wasn't consistently

532
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 4: doing that. The guys that are able to consistently produce

533
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 4: the way he's doing this year consider all time greats,

534
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 4: and so it sounds like he's more like this, right,

535
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 4: But most of the time you have a sophomore slump.

536
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 4: I know this's gonna be his third year, but he

537
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 4: really didn't play his rookie year, going in there and

538
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 4: really being intentional on not getting comfortable and relaxing based on.

539
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 6: What you did.

540
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 4: That's typically the different guys consistently growing in that off season,

541
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: especially going to that year two of being a starter

542
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 4: where you don't see that drop off. And so hearing

543
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 4: you guys speak about him, hearing other people speak about him,

544
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 4: I think he's more of the former where he's going

545
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: to be locked in where I can grow and really

546
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: come back even better next year.

547
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: He also added talking about Trey McBride on the difference

548
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: the person off the field versus the player on the

549
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 3: field and how emotional he is when the game is

550
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 3: going on.

551
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 9: I'm just an animated player. I'm an emotional guy. I

552
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 9: love this game, and when I'm out there, you know

553
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 9: I make a big play. Sometimes I can't control myself.

554
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 9: I just freaking geek out. I don't know what the heck.

555
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 9: I just go crazy sometimes. So I don't know what

556
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 9: goes on in my head. Sometimes I just start going crazy.

557
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 9: Even Kyler's like, dude, you gotta chill out some. You know,

558
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 9: He's telling me the huddle like Tray, come on, man,

559
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 9: settle down some. But I just love having fun. Man.

560
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 9: And when I'm out there making plays energy, you know,

561
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 9: that juice. You know, some of the guys tell me

562
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 9: how how fired up they get seeing me like that.

563
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: There are a number of players though, that are when

564
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: they cross those white lines. And again, you have to

565
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: maintain your composure and be in control, but you also

566
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: have that release, especially when there is a big play made,

567
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: whether it goes for you or goes against you, and

568
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: your emotions do rise.

569
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but again, if that's who you are, right, as

570
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: long as it doesn't take you out of being able

571
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 4: to execute your job. I want you to thrive on

572
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 4: that because there's also some guys who try to bottle

573
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 4: that up and not express themselves. Your emotions are a

574
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 4: strong thing we are on the football field. That typically

575
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 4: is what's taking a guy to another level. Right, I

576
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 4: think about and this happens. It's a lot of guys

577
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 4: like this, But the one that pops in my mind

578
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 4: every time we talk about emotions is Steve Smith Senior, Right,

579
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 4: And that was a guy where you wanted him to

580
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 4: just go out there and just play a football game. Hey, guys,

581
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 4: don't say nothing to him. Just let him do his thing.

582
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: He catches a ball, Okay, congratulations, great job, great catch.

583
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 4: But the immediate time that you say something that he

584
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 4: can take the wrong way and he then becomes angry,

585
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 4: it is a whole nother monster. So maybe a ninety

586
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 4: five yard game turns into a two hundred and ten

587
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 4: yard game because now he's thriving on his angry emotion.

588
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 6: What he's what he's known for. Right.

589
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: So I would say the same thing with with to

590
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 4: Trey right, embrace that, right, if you use that emotion,

591
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 4: just be able to be able to come back and

592
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 4: be able to execute, but thrive on that. If that's

593
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 4: who you want, it comes natural to you.

594
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: I laugh because Patrick Peterson's first NFL regular season game

595
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 5: was against Steve Smith, and you talk about a welcome

596
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 5: to the NFL moment. Yeah, that that first quarter where

597
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 5: Steve Smith was just barked because they'd come to the

598
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 5: nearest sideline, right they can so, so you I was

599
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 5: only five yards away and you could hear some of

600
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 5: the stuff that I can't repeat. Steve Smith was yelling

601
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 5: at the highly towed rookie Pat Pete and the look

602
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,239
Speaker 5: on his face like is this the NFL? No, it's not,

603
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 5: because Steve Smith, pound for pound, is part of the

604
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 5: angriest dude I've ever seen on a football field. Maybe

605
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 5: James Harrison was in there. Two dudes just played ultra angry, right, so,

606
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 5: but but Steve Smith had to it his size. Yeah,

607
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 5: that's that's how he would win.

608
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 4: I'll played with him MC Carolina and against him on

609
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: several other teams. But that's when you talk about crossing

610
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 4: the field and hitting the switch, right, whether that's joy

611
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: or anger, whatever that is for you, it has to

612
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 4: be unique for you or authentic to you and and

613
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: thrive on those things because that takes your game typically

614
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: to another level.

615
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 9: All right.

616
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 3: Now McBride has taken his game to another level, has

617
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: played playing with a lot more fun, and I think

618
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 3: the game is slowing down for him in year two.

619
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 3: More on McBride. Here's the head coach, Jonathan Gannon on

620
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: what the next steps are for McBride.

621
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 7: Just what he does from the running pass game, how

622
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 7: Drew deploys. I think that he's taken steps to becoming

623
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 7: a more consistent, better playmaker as we've as we've played

624
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 7: more games here. He's only in his second year, you know,

625
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 7: and I think sky's the limits for him. But obviously

626
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 7: he's a huge piece to our offense and he's done

627
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 7: a really good job.

628
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 10: All right.

629
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 5: Kelby's consulting the poly Pickskin Division, and may I surmise

630
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 5: that Trey McBride should get at least two tight end

631
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 5: screens every single game? At least two. He's so good

632
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 5: with a ball in his hands. Give him a few blockers,

633
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 5: he breaks, arm tackles, get him out in space. I'm

634
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 5: it's just at least a minimum of eight yards every

635
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: time you get him a tight end screen. That should

636
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 5: be an absolute, vital and consistent part of the offense

637
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: until defenses prove they can stop it. Because he is

638
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 5: really good with a ball in his hands.

639
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: Well, we've seen him come across the middle. We've even

640
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: seen deep shots, and that's typically something you for most

641
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: tight ends, you're not running down the sideline for a

642
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: thirty to thirty five yard game. But we've seen pretty

643
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 3: much all of that from McBride, especially this season, and

644
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: now the question is, Okay, what do we see next?

645
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: Because it's about consistency. You heard that from the head coach.

646
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: McBride needs to be consistent each and every week, and

647
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 3: this week it's a date with the San Francisco forty

661
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: down the road, and he comes up big here late

662
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,360

668
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: Two touchdowns part of a career day for rookie Michael Wilson.

669
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: Seven catches on seven targets for seventy six yards. The

670
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: first time the Cardinals played the forty nine Ers all

671
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: the way back in Week four. As we say welcome

672
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 3: back here to the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by

673
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: a seat Geek your ticket to great seats Craig Raya,

674
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 3: Lupaul Calvic and Lorenzo Alexander. The rematch coming up against

675
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers this Sunday two oh five from

676
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: State Farm Stadium is the kickoff, and we hope Paul

677
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: we anticipate because he was seen during the open portion

678
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: of Monday's bonus practice, but number fourteen after missing some

679
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 3: time with a shoulder injury, I would think returns this week.

680
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: Put it this way, personally, I wanted to see him

681
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: on the football field because I know how good he is.

682
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: Plus he needs these four games going into an important offseason.

683
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Niners game Week four. By the way, he

684
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 5: was the third Arizona Cardinals rookie in the last twenty

685
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 5: years to have multiple touchdown catches in a game as

686
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 5: a rookie. Fits and John Brown were the other guys

687
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 5: to do that. So that was a big time And

688
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 5: I would be surprised if he doesn't play. I am

689
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 5: fully expecting him and I understand he is tracking to play.

690
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 5: So that's good not only in the past game, but

691
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 5: to think about it, I mean, think about what the

692
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 5: Cardinals did running the ball, especially in that fourth quarter

693
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 5: without their two best blocking wide receivers at Pittsburgh. No

694
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 5: Zach Pascal, no Michael Wilson. I mean that's a big deal,

695
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 5: isn't it. Z I mean, you look out there, you

696
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 5: don't have those guys downfield paving the way.

697
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 6: It's significant.

698
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 4: And when you look at like a team like the

699
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: forty nine ers or any top tier running teams, typically

700
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 4: the wide receivers are are significant part of that. And

701
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 4: he Michael Wilson is a willing and capable blocker, and

702
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 4: that was one of the first things that I saw

703
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 4: when he was getting some run early in the season.

704
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 6: Now he's in there.

705
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: Throwing his body around, holding on for dear life, just

706
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 4: anything to where his guy isn't going to be on

707
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 4: the play on the tackle, and that just sends a message,

708
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 4: I think to everybody, especially when you're playing a physical

709
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 4: team like the forty nine, you want those guys that

710
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 4: are going to be harassing that DP just knowing their personality.

711
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: You gotta have guys gonna stand up, stand out, and

712
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 4: be willing to engage for four quarters.

713
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 3: The offense looks different when you have a Michael Wilson

714
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: on the football field, when you have a receiver with

715
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: some height that you can utilize as well. Head coach

716
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon four games left. What he wants to see,

717
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 3: not just specifically about Michael Wilson, but the offense.

718
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 7: Overall continue to always is protect the football and generate explosives,

719
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, and then play the game

720
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 7: that we need to play on a week to week

721
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 7: basis that gives us a chance to win.

722
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: Cardinals have done a good job since the return of

723
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray in protecting the football and this idea and

724
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 3: tell me if I'm wrong, though, because there are sometimes

725
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 3: I do believe in it, there's other times I don't.

726
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: Momentum from one week to the next, from one season

727
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 3: to the next, or is it more an individual thing?

728
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: How much these four games offensively can help Kyler Murray,

729
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: Michael Wilson, Trey McBride, those key pieces going into next season.

730
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 6: I think it's a factor. It matters.

731
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 4: But for example, I can be as confident as I

732
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 4: want to be, but if I'm going up against Trip

733
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: Williams that week, I know that it's going to be

734
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 4: a fight, and I may not have two or three sacks, right,

735
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 4: I know I may have zero because of who I'm

736
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 4: going against. So it is a factor in your production

737
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 4: and your ability to play well individually and collectively.

738
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 6: But at some.

739
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 4: Point talent does matter, and who you're going against does

740
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 4: matter as well, and also your ability to execute when

741
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 4: you play these teams. So it's just one part of

742
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 4: being successful as far as having momentum having some success,

743
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 4: because then when you have belief in hoping something that

744
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 4: just increases your chances to be successful doesn't guarantee that

745
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 4: you will be successful. So I think that's more of

746
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 4: how people should think about it when you're talking about

747
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 4: momentum and what you've done in the past and how

748
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: that's going to help you predict future results.

749
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know as much momentum as it is confidence.

750
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 5: And if you can build some confidence, I think that'll

751
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 5: carry over into the offseason. Not only because you're playing

752
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 5: the best team in the NFL right now, a team

753
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 5: that destroyed Dallas took out the Eagles big time, forty

754
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 5: two to nineteen. But you're talking about a team that's

755
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 5: won eleven straight NFC West games. Let that hang in

756
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 5: the air for a minute, and then you went against

757
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 5: the Rams team this year that's now Sean McVay has

758
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 5: won what thirteen out of fifteen, fourteen out of sixteen

759
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 5: against the Cardinals. You need to make a statement against

760
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 5: these division teams. You need to figure this out now.

761
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 5: The first time around in Week four with Josh Dobbs,

762
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 5: you got down twenty one three, but you didn't give up.

763
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 5: You made it a twenty one sixteen game in that

764
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 5: third quarter and then things got away in the fourth.

765
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 5: But if you can stand up to the bully of

766
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 5: the NFC West, they just clinched the playoffs, they will

767
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 5: win away from clinching the division. They just took out

768
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 5: Seattle for the fifth straight time. They usually romp against

769
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 5: the Rams, except for that one playoff loss when the

770
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 5: Rams went to the Super Bowl made that Super Bowl run.

771
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 5: So somebody needs to knock off the Niners at this point,

772
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 5: that's what needs to happen.

773
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one NFC Championship Game is the last time

774
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers lost to division opponent. They lost

775
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 3: the Rams that day twenty to seventeen.

776
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 4: And I think to your point, whether these momentum or confidence,

777
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 4: that's why I say it's just a small piece of it, right,

778
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 4: because the forty nine ers are a better team overall. Right,

779
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 4: But you can go in there play with great confidence,

780
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 4: right and maybe come up with some big plays that

781
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 4: increases and gives yourself a chance to maybe knock off

782
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers. But if everything is playing equal,

783
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 4: if we're just going to be honest, the forty nine

784
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 4: ers are a better team. And for whatever reason, whether

785
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: it's end reason, you're playing with second or third backups, right,

786
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 4: you can't beat elite teams when you're not at full strength,

787
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 4: and this team right now is in the Arizona Cardinals,

788
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 4: aren't that That's why you want to see them play good,

789
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 4: sound football and win in the areas that we talked

790
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 4: about earlier when you talked about Pittsburgh, right what does

791
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: your third down percentage look like? What is this turnover,

792
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 4: red zone? What do those things look like? And when

793
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 4: in those areas? Which is also going to increase your

794
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 4: chance of winning versus necessarily.

795
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 6: Winning the game?

796
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 4: And I know there's no more and that's the thing,

797
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: but when you're looking at just paper, the Niners are

798
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 4: a better football team and everybody will be surprised, even

799
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: some of the coach. They're not gonna say it, and

800
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 4: upstairs players don't think this way. If they go in

801
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 4: there and are able to find a victory, it just

802
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 4: is what it is. But you want to have make

803
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 4: sure that you play at your level of football and

804
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 4: try to put yourself in a position where if they

805
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 4: give you a shot, you can go in there and

806
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 4: take advantage of it.

807
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: And it's not just this Sunday. It's on the road

808
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: in Chicago, on the road in Philadelphia final home game,

809
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 3: Week eighteen against the Seahawks' final four games two against

810
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: the Division but these four games are important. According to

811
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 3: tre McBride.

812
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just want to see our team continue to

813
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 9: get better. You know, I think we've gotten better the

814
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 9: last couple of weeks offensively, we've played well. Really just

815
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 9: want to continue to get better, continue to grow, continue

816
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 9: to develop. You know, Hopefully everyone can keep gelling as

817
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 9: an offense. Hopefully the coaches, you know, keep doing their thing.

818
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 9: But ultimately I just want to keep going. Hopefully you

819
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 9: get a couple of wins, you know, going into the offseason.

820
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 9: You know, have some momentum going in the off season.

821
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 3: And I do think again whether you buy or don't

822
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 3: buy the momentum thing, but seeing what these players can

823
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 3: do that you know are going to be a part

824
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 3: of the future, within this offense, within this defense, what

825
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 3: the coaches would like to do do we have the

826
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 3: pieces to do what we want to do in order

827
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 3: to be successful.

828
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 6: Right and you know, you go in finish strong.

829
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 4: That's why you want to see some of these younger guys,

830
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 4: seeing what they do, how they develop over these last

831
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: four weeks, and it helps you kind of clear your mind,

832
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 4: you know, the draft, free agency, these are things that

833
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 4: we can work on and build on. And these are

834
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 4: guys that we are confident in. But you still got

835
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 4: to put the work in as a player, no matter momentum, confidence, whatever.

836
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 4: If you don't put the work in to match that

837
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 4: momentum and confidence that you're expecting to have the next season,

838
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 4: none of it matters. That's why I say it's always

839
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 4: just a small piece of it, right, but you definitely

840
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 4: want to be more in a space where you have

841
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: some confidence. You felt okay, we finished strong. These are

842
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 4: some things that I can do to grow as a

843
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 4: player and collectively as a team. When we get back together. Hey, hey, fellas,

844
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 4: let's get all this going, we'll have a real shot

845
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 4: right new season, New year, A let's go out win,

846
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: you know, one to zero each week and we can

847
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: maybe find ourselves climbing the ladder, maybe being ahead of

848
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 4: schedule next year.

849
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 5: Look, Niners are really talented. They got Pro bowlers all

850
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 5: three levels of the defense. They got an NFL Defensive

851
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 5: Player of the Year last year in Nick Bosa, best

852
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 5: left tackle in the game. Pro Bowl receivers at least

853
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 5: Kittle and Deebo, Samuel and Brandon I killed the Cardinals

854
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 5: back in Week four. They got the NFL's leading quarterback

855
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 5: in terms of passer rating, yards per attempt, and completion percent.

856
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 3: They're loaded.

857
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 5: But you know what, Cardinals fought with him, and John

858
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 5: Lynch said after that game in Week four he was

859
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 5: really impressed just by the fight at the Cardinals and

860
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 5: there were some fights at the end of that game,

861
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 5: including James Connor going at it with Hafunga after the game.

862
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 6: So this is going to be feisty.

863
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 5: I think Cardinals remember how physical that game was in

864
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 5: Week four, and I think it'll be back on Sunday.

865
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 3: The rematch on Sunday at State Farms Stadium. More on

866

Speaker 1: They pick it up, deep shot, Rock Perdy's going down field.

880
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 10: For deva touchdown, same friend Ciescu Devo Samuel on a

881
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 10: burner post and Rock Birdy just does a great job.

882
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 6: Perdy gonna throw it on the sideline.

883
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 11: Cantle's got him ten five touchs yea, said Fred Cisco.

884
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 3: When you're ten and three and you rack up five

885
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty seven total yards of offense, and you're

886
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: the voices, the collective voices of the San Francisco forty

887
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 3: nine Ers, Greg Papa and Tim Ryan, you can have

888
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 3: some fun on the broadcast, and the forty nine Ers

889
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: have had a lot of fun this season, including a

890
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: Week four win against the Cardinals. Most recently, though, the

891
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers beating the Seahawks at home. San Francisco

892
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 3: has won five in a row since that three game

893
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 3: losing streak, which so seems so far ago, because at

894
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 3: that point it was what's wrong with the forty nine ers.

895
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: I don't think they can I don't think you think

896
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 3: can advance very far in the postseason. Now they are

897
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 3: the cream of the crop and the number one seed in.

898
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 4: The NFC, right, and we forget that the field goal

899
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 4: kicker missed a last second kick in the first of

900
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 4: those three games, and then dealing with injuries, right, and

901
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 4: so just just crazy how long the NFL season is

902
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 4: and the ebbs and flows. And we thought about Denver

903
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 4: when they they gave up seventy and now they got

904
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 4: you know, six seven wins. It just it's just crazy.

905
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 4: You think about them in a total different light now

906
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 4: and that's just the.

907
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 5: Broncos are a game behind the chief right now in

908
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 5: the division. But there was eight plays of twenty five

909
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 5: or more yards against Seattle and you had, once again

910
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 5: you had Kittle and CMC and you had Ayuk and

911
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 5: Deebo Samuel combined over five hundred scrimmage yards from those

912
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 5: four guys, right, and three of those four had to

913
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 5: play over forty five yards a piece.

914
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 4: And I mean it's one of the play CMC first

915
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 4: played a game, right, setting the tone right from an

916
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 4: offensive standpoint, and what they do really well, just kind

917
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 4: of going back and watching that first half of that game,

918
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 4: is is that they give you a ton of eye candy, right,

919
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 4: So juice is going to be motioning from out at

920
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 4: tight end, getting back in the full back position. Deebo

921
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 4: is gonna be jetting across the line of scrimmage before snap.

922
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 4: Then they'll run the ball right at you. You know,

923
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 4: power scheme, counter scheme, downhill stuff, and then here comes

924
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 4: a jet sweep on the outside. And while they're doing this,

925
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 4: people are also hawking and relaying back behind a line

926
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 4: of scrimmage. And you don't have to know what those

927
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 4: things mean, but it means at the end of the

928
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 4: day that as a linebacker or a safety and run support,

929
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 4: my gap is changing, right and so they get a

930
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 4: lot of these big time runs just getting people out

931
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 4: of their gap, out of their comfort zone because they

932
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 4: lack eye discipline. So that's gonna be one of the

933
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 4: big things this Cardinal's defense is going to have this

934
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 4: week is understanding their run fits, understanding what makes their

935
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 4: run gap change, and then being physical at the point

936
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 4: of attack. Because the offensive line of the forty nine

937
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 4: ers are really great about coming up to the second level,

938
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 4: getting their hands on the linebackers and safeties and pushing

939
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 4: you out of the way. So with those two things,

940
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 4: great eye discipline, great physicality at the point of attack,

941
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 4: and then getting off the blocks to really shut this

942
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 4: run game down.

943
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 3: Now, the big difference between week four or and now

944
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 3: Week fifteen. Offensively, obviously it's Kyler Murray. But to your

945
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 3: point about the defense and the Cardinals defense, Buddha Baker

946
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 3: did not play.

947
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 6: Yeah in that game.

948
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 3: Now that's one player of eleven or.

949
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 4: A year now too, So yeah, trade offs, so yeah,

950
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 4: but I would think that should help a little bit.

951
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 3: And then having seen this team once before, you even

952
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 3: though it has been a couple of months, Yeah, you

953
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,959
Speaker 3: remember certain things about that previous game.

954
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 6: You do that.

955
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 4: I guess My only reservation is is when other teams,

956
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 4: if we think about what the Rams did, and I

957
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 4: think maybe Atlanta, maybe even Houston to some extent, the

958
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 4: zone scheme, especially with the interior D linemen, they've really struggled.

959
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 4: Now if you run, you know, gap scheme downhill right

960
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 4: at them, deuces blocks, trying to base blocks. The D

961
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 4: line has done pretty well of holding the ground, but

962
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 4: when they get loud or running, that's really been the issue.

963
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 4: Hasn't really been the second level or even the stages

964
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 4: as much. It's really been those guys being pushed and running.

965
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 4: So those are the things that I want to see

966
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 4: them correct, especially coming off this break, knowing that they're

967
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 4: going to see the Niners, who are the probably the

968
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: best in the league at the zone scheme, and mix

969
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 4: it in this power scheme as well.

970
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 5: In case in point, the Rams both meetings, second half

971
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 5: of Game one when they ran for a buck seventy

972
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 5: four and the second half Kyaron Williams and Kyen Williams

973
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 5: returned and did it to the Cardinals again to twenty

974
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 5: eight as a team, and a lot of that was

975
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 5: the scheme you just cited that the Cardinals has struggled

976
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 5: at times as a defensive front to fit the gap.

977
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 5: Integrity has been lacking in that sort of scheme. So

978
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 5: here it comes Kyle Shanahan and he's gonna break his

979
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 5: own tendencies. What's amazing is to talk to a lot

980
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,479
Speaker 5: of the defensive players. They rely only use a half dozen,

981
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 5: maybe ten different plays, but they dress it up different

982
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 5: for sale groups. Yeah, different motions. It's gonna look different,

983
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 5: but they're just gonna hammer you with these same plays.

984
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 5: And it's tough.

985
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 3: It's a tough fit.

986
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 5: And then, like we saw in Week four, Brandon Ayuk,

987
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 5: somebody gets loose, somebody gets downfield and you can only

988
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 5: single cover them, and then bam, they test your strength

989
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 5: and your depth at the cornerback position.

990
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 3: Rock Purty only won in completion in that first meeting.

991
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey one hundred and seventy seven scrimmage yards, Brandon

992
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 3: I one hundred and forty eight receiving yards in that

993
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 3: first meeting, and they basically haven't slowed down one bit

994
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 3: since Week four. Cardinals and the forty nine Ers coming
