Speaker 1: Kyle Vandenbosch.

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 5: So it is good, very good to be talking here

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 5: on a Tuesday morning following a win. Because, gentlemen, it

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 5: has been a little while, almost a full calendar month

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 5: since we have come here on the Cardinals Red Seaerport

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 5: and talked about a Cardinals win. And that's exactly what

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 5: happened on Sunday. Cardinals doing what they needed to do,

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 5: and that has been a very well, let's just say,

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 5: not a very great New England Patriots team by the

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 5: score of thirty to seventeen at State Farm Stadium. But

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 5: before we get into that, how about some praise here,

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 5: because for the first time in a long time, Paul

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 5: I saw a van in Bosch jersey on the field

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 5: and it wasn't Kyle van in Bosch's jersey. It was

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 5: his son's own jersey. So congratulations to Arizona Cardinals high

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 5: School Player of the Week for Week two, Bashion, van

30
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 5: and Bosch for being honored along with the other high

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 5: school winners and coaches this season.

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 6: Wow, that's a double ding right there. Okay, so what

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 6: was part of the package. You got to go to

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 6: the game. You got to go down in the field, right,

35
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 6: you get to rub elbows with some of the luminaries.

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 6: So I'm guessing a good time was had by all.

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was the Cardinals do things right. I mean,

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 7: they did a fantastic job, not only with high school sports,

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 7: boys football and you guys know, covering young ladies flag

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 7: football and really putting it on the platform that it deserves.

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 7: So very appreciative. You know, it's having two highly successful

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 7: twin sons. Had a busy weekend with award ceremonies to

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 7: kind of wrap up the season.

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: Very proud. Also.

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 5: That was in addition to being a part of the

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals pregame huddle.

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: I mean, let's be honest, that's.

48
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 7: The biggest prize right there.

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: That's right.

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 6: He knew he wasn't missing the pregame huddle. I mean

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 6: his priority are in line, Okay, So he was a

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 6: proud dad from the booth while he was working. That's

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 6: the way we got the grind on around here.

54
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 5: Speaking of priorities, how about some breaking news here on

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 5: the Cardinals Red Sea Report talking about Week seventeen. I'm

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 5: trying to get to week fifteen and talk about the

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: win over the Patriots, But how about Week seventeen Cardinals

58
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 5: at the Rams. We now have a day and we

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: have a time. Remember when the schedule was released, it

60
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: was either Saturday of the twenty eighth or Sunday of

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 5: the twenty ninth. The NFL has announced that the Cardinals

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 5: Rams game will be part of a triple header on Saturday,

63
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 5: December twenty eighth at six fifteen Arizona time on the

64
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 5: NFL Network. So a game that we all hope is

65
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: very meaningful for the Arizona Cardinals in two weeks time.

66
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 5: So Cardinals ram Paul that is on Saturday, December twenty eighth.

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 5: Then I it's gonna be a busy day for everyone.

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 6: And you know what if the Cardinals, because we're taking

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 6: a one week at a time, can take care of Carolina,

70
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 6: that will be a momentous game because think about the

71
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 6: fact the Cardinals already beat the Rams in week two,

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 6: so even though they would be at worst a game

73
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 6: behind the Rams, they would own the tiebreaker with a

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 6: win at the Rams Saturday night primetime Week seventeen. We

75
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 6: all know Seattle loss. Seattle lost Gino Smith for how

76
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 6: long we don't know. Maybe he'll be back this week,

77
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 6: not exactly sure, but will get really intriguing. Even though

78
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 6: you lose the tiebreaker obviously to Seattle, as the Seahawks

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 6: had the season sweep. If you get into these three

80
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 6: way ties atop the division, the Cardinals have a decent

81
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 6: chance based on the math, as long as they can

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 6: win these next two games.

83
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, head to head, and then what did you do

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: within the division? And the Cardinals right now potentially could

85
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 5: finish four and two in the NFC West, and that

86
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 5: would be better than both the Seahawks and Rams. But again,

87
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 5: we don't like to get too far ahead of ourselves,

88
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 5: but I did want to pass along that notes as

89
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 5: far as what happens in week seventeen. All right, let's

90
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: talk about Week fifteen. As I mentioned, the Cardinals beat

91
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 5: the Patriots thirty to seventeen. Kyle, the Cardinals led wire

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 5: to wire. It was a pretty dominant performance. Under the

93
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: final score is not indicative of how well the Cardinals

94
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 5: played and how much in hand that game was when

95
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: it was thirty to ten with three and a half

96
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 5: minutes to go in the ballgame. But the offense click

97
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 5: got the run game going, the defense had a very

98
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 5: solid outing and again it was a must have win

99
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 5: and what they needed to do.

100
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's to me it was as much as what

101
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 7: it looked like as as to the result. I mean,

102
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 7: obviously they needed the win. They went out and took

103
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 7: care of what they needed to take care of against

104
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 7: the New England team. But it was like they got

105
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 7: back to their identity. I think the offensive line played

106
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 7: really well. You know, after giving up eight sacks in

107
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 7: the previous three games, they gave up no sacks. Really,

108
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 7: Kyler had a lot of time to throw James Connor

109
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 7: got going on the on the ground. You know, they

110
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 7: paved the way for one hundred and sixty three yards rushing.

111
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 7: Their third down was fantastic. Their red zone they were

112
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 7: two for two scoring touchdowns. So it's a lot like

113
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 7: the team we saw in the middle of the season.

114
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 7: And as you mentioned, the defense, you know picked up

115
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 7: where it did after the buye where they had a

116
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 7: couple of really, really good performances.

117
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 5: The win snapped a three game losing streak. As we

118
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: mentioned the first win post bye week. How about we

119
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 5: head back to Sunday postgame, the head coach Jonathan Gann.

120
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 8: They earned the right to win today because of how

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 8: they practice this week, which I was proud of their

122
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 8: response coming off of the last round there and they

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 8: bit down on their mouthpiece and practiced the right way

124
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 8: and won the game.

125
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 5: And we've heard that a lot from JG this season

126
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 5: and even last season, Paul, how you play is based

127
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 5: off how you practiced, and it does seem that there

128
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 5: was maybe a little bit more focus attention to detail

129
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 5: on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday going into Sunday.

130
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 6: Well, you heard it from the head coach and the

131
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator going into the game, and you heard it

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 6: really for the first time ever in the Jonathan Gannon era,

133
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 6: where they cited to the media modeve play slash motor,

134
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 6: needed to pick up, needed to improve. At times, the

135
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 6: Cardinals practiced a little differently than some teams this time

136
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 6: of year. On Thursday, it's all go. I mean, it's

137
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 6: as close as you're going to get to full go

138
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 6: football on a Thursday. And he wants to see it

139
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 6: and he believes it carries over and in this game

140
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 6: it certainly did. You had the run game, You had

141
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 6: a dominant defense most of the game till things got

142
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 6: a little loose in the fourth quarter. That might have

143
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: been one of Jonathan Gannon's only laments, having hosted his

144
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 6: TV show already this week. You know, but what's not

145
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 6: to like?

146
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: Right?

147
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 6: You played your style of ball, which he was adding

148
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 6: about returning to the Cardinals brand of ball. It was

149
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 6: a run first offense over five yards of carry. You know,

150
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 6: he had sound tackling. You affected the quarterback. The quarterback

151
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: didn't run four carries for fourteen yards. That was a

152
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 6: huge deal. That was a big box to check on

153
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 6: your defensive game plan. You got different guys involved at

154
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 6: different times, both sides of the ball. Two guys got

155
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 6: their first sack as Cardinals, Darius Robinson, Baron Browning. Still

156
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 6: trying to figure out that Browning sack dance. Maybe Kyle

157
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 6: Vannibosch himself can help us out with that a little

158
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 6: bit later. And then you got a big man touchdown.

159
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 6: So what's not to like with that victory?

160
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, the big man touchdown Jonah Williams, Yeah, that was

161
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 5: a lot of funny Johnny on the spot. The second

162
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 5: time we've seen a fumble recovery in the end zone

163
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 5: because of a fumble near the goal line. Again, the

164
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 5: ball bounced the Cardinals way a number of different times

165
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: in that contest, including an interception that wasn't Kyle the

166
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 5: murray by the way, postgame, talking about getting back in

167
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 5: the win column.

168
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 9: Just playing better football. That's you know, that was the

169
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 9: main focus is come out here and execute and do

170
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 9: our job, and offensively we could be better, but you know,

171
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 9: it definitely feels good to come out a win, you know,

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 9: especially a win that we felt like we should come

173
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 9: here and do what we're supposed to do, and to

174
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 9: come out here and do it, it feels good.

175
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 5: And that's always key, Kyle, Right, as far as you know,

176
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 5: on paper, you're a better team, you have more talent,

177
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: but you also have to go out there and execute.

178
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 5: And we saw and we talked about it leading up

179
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 5: to this game. A year ago, the Cardinals were in

180
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 5: the position of the New England Patriots went on the

181
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: road beat, the Steelers went on the road beat the Eagles. Cardinals, though,

182
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: handle their own business on Sunday.

183
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, they absolutely did. And again, you know, some of

184
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 7: the things that they did well in this game will

185
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 7: serve them well going forward and hopefully they can continue that.

186
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 7: I mean, we've seen a recent struggle on third down

187
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 7: and this team went ten for fifteen and they held

188
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 7: New England to oh and oh for six on third down.

189
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 7: And a big reason, and we talk about this over

190
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 7: and over, is getting the run game going. And it's

191
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 7: what you do on first and second down. And you know,

192
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 7: Arizona averaged third and four and a half on third down,

193
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 7: whereas New England averaged third and nine. So I mean,

194
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 7: you keep doing that defensively and offensively. And to me,

195
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 7: the big reason for that was the dominant dominance in

196
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 7: the trenches. I think the offensive line. You know, they

197
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 7: did a really good job with their their gap scheme,

198
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 7: pulling a lot of players, but when a lot of

199
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 7: times it was just strictly a zone blocking scheme and

200
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 7: they were just moving guys off the line of scrimmage.

201
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 7: Our defensive line was backing up their offensive line into

202
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 7: the backfield on you know, play after play on first

203
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 7: and second down, and then what you get, you know,

204
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 7: third and long for them, and you get third in

205
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 7: manageable for us. And I think that that's gonna be

206
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 7: the recipe for success for this team for the rest

207
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 7: of the season.

208
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 5: First time this season in which the offensive line did

209
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 5: not allow a sack and did not allow a quarterback hit,

210
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: so they kept Kyler Murray upright in the pocket. Again,

211
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 5: I know what happened as far as certain penalties that

212
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 5: negated things, but again on the stat sheet, that's what

213
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 5: it looks like. A goose egg in both categories. We

214
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 5: also saw something for the first time in a long

215
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 5: time and only the second time this season, but the

216
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 5: offense scoring a touchdown after a defensive takeaway. The Sean

217
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 5: Murphy bunting interception led to the first of two James

218
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: Connor rushing touchdowns. That is complimentary football. Trey McBride postgame

219
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: talked about just that.

220
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 10: Just to get a win in this league is as important,

221
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 10: and I'm excited for the guys. I thought we played

222
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 10: complimentary football. Thought the defense played really well. Got a

223
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 10: turnover there, got an interception by SMB. We also got

224
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 10: a turnover on downs in the red zone. Man, I'm

225
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 10: just happy of the way we played a complimentary football.

226
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 5: Again, there are certain things that can be improved, like

227
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 5: the downfield passing game and the connection between quarterback and

228
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 5: wide receiver talking about Kyler Urn. But bottom line is, Paul,

229
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 5: this team needed a win, desperate to get a win

230
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 5: as far as making sure that they, as Jonathan Gannon

231
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 5: told you postgame, stay relevant in the playoff hunt. And

232
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 5: that's exactly where this team is. One game back up

233
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 5: at the Rams and Seahawks.

234
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 6: And when this team runs the ball and they stop

235
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 6: the run, they win most of the time. It just

236
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 6: is the identity of this team. It goes through James Connor,

237
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 6: it goes through the run game. Yes, you wanted a

238
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 6: passing touchdown. That was the one thing missing on the

239
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 6: box score. There's no doubt about it. I think we're

240
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,119
Speaker 6: still waiting to answer that question. What does this Cardinals

241
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 6: offense look like if you can get consistent production from

242
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 6: wide receiver. One, We've seen a breakout quarter against the Rams.

243
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 6: You've seen a breakout half, second half against Miami by

244
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison Junior and Kyler Murray because it is a combination.

245
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 6: They obviously, you know, tested Christian Gonzalez several times in

246
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 6: this game, but over these last three games, if you

247
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 6: can dow that in everything else that is working on

248
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 6: this offense, including the guy we just heard from, tre

249
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 6: McBride nine for eighty seven. It's remarkable that only three

250
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 6: tight ends in NFL history have had more catches in

251
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 6: their first three seasons right now than Trey McBride. We're

252
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 6: talking George Kittle, Jimmy Graham, Kellen Winslow. Let that hang

253
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 6: in the air for a minute, considering he did not

254
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 6: have a remarkable rookie season, and he didn't have a

255
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 6: lot of production the first half of his second season

256
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 6: being behind Zach Ertz.

257
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: So really it's it's.

258
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 6: Been a season and a half and he's fourth and

259
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 6: he could end up easily third in NFL history for

260
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 6: most catches over first three years of a tight ends.

261
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 5: Career, and more importantly, it's when those catches are happening. No,

262
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 5: he doesn't have a receiving touchdown, but on third down

263
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 5: when you need to convert, more times than not, Kyler

264
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 5: is looking at Trey's direction. Three of those nine receptions

265
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 5: on Sunday converted on third down. Not only is he

266
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: your number one target, but right now he's your number

267
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 5: one pass catcher.

268
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, on third down, and you know one of them

269
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 7: was on third and eleven hit him on kind of

270
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 7: a tight end fade, which you know, all the good

271
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 7: things this team does on offense, they struggle on third

272
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 7: and long so to find an answer, and and he

273
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 7: seems to be the answer for most of your problems

274
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 7: on offense when when you're getting bogged down, when you

275
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 7: just need a catch, when you need to pick up

276
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 7: some yardage. You know, his catch per target is you know,

277
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 7: really high. You can be certain that if it's in

278
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 7: his area, he's gonna come down with it. I mean

279
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 7: he tripped, was on the ground and still almost had

280
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 7: a reception on a play in that ball game. So

281
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 7: you know he's he's obviously, you know, your most reliable target,

282
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 7: and he is dangerous with the ball in his hands.

283
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 7: So it's it's going to continue that the ball. You know,

284
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 7: obviously this offense goes through James Connor, but Trey McBride

285
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 7: is close behind that.

286
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 3: And he's a catalyst. He's a spark plug.

287
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 6: Remember the fits factor, guys, you know, especially the latter

288
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 6: part of Layer's career we talk about all right, if

289
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 6: things are a little dormant, you know, a little you know,

290
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 6: things need to pick up in the building, Just find

291
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 6: Larry because his energy would be palpable, not only to

292
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 6: the side line, but the crowd. The red Sea would

293
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 6: come alive. That's Traymon Bright in a lot of ways.

294
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 6: Maybe not to the level Larry was, but I mean

295
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 6: just the way the sideline reacts. He'll get up, he'll flex,

296
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 6: He's so competitive. It's a it's just a big component

297
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 6: in terms of the energy of the offense if you

298
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 6: can get him involved. And it's a big reason why

299
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 6: the week before I think they fell against Seattle. He

300
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 6: did not have a catch in that game until midway

301
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 6: through the third quarter. Eleven catches sixty two yards away

302
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 6: from one hundred receptions and one thousand receiving yards again

303
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 6: as a tie.

304
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: It end.

305
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 5: Now, some things to keep an eye on this week

306
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 5: Heading into Carolina Week, is the health and status of

307
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 5: Mac Wilson Senior, Jesse Luketta, Trey Benson, the one, the

308
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 5: one that looked real scary from your vantage point, at

309
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 5: least I'm sure did. Paul was seeing mac Wilson Senior

310
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 5: on the fourth play of the game, go in untouched,

311
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 5: Blitz picked up and it looked like he got hit

312
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 5: somewhere in the head neck area. Immediately went down and

313
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 5: the response from both sides, both sides realized the magnitude. Okay,

314
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 5: this is a little bit more serious. He was rolled

315
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: out immediately with the concussion and now we wait and

316
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: see whether and win he'll be available.

317
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: That was a major league collision.

318
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 6: Nobody was more amped up before the game than mac

319
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 6: Wilson Senior going against his former team. And when he

320
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 6: came on that that blitz and then the Blitz pick up,

321
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 6: that was a big boy collision and all the best

322
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 6: Mac Wilson. Now, he did walk off the field under

323
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 6: his own power, and you know saw him briefly after

324
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 6: the game. What his status is going forward, don't know.

325
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 6: Jonathan Gannon gave an upbeat and positive update on Monday,

326
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 6: but as for his status, no idea at this point,

327
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 6: and they're going to air on the on the side

328
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 6: of being extra cautious with those sorts of situations and

329
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 6: the concussion, But think about losing two starters at your

330
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 6: linebacker positions in the first five.

331
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 3: Plays of the game.

332
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 6: And as Jonathan Gannon told us after the game, Nick

333
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 6: Ross stayed calm, staying cool, collected, and just called a

334
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 6: game accordingly, and they were able to have the depth

335
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 6: to withstand that sort of an injury situation from the

336
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 6: get go because mac Wilson is such a chess piece.

337
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 6: You move around in so many different places. It's not

338
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 6: just the player, but it's the role he plays and

339
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 6: so many different packages that it was a big deal

340
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 6: at least on the laminade of play sheet. Okay, where

341
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 6: do we go from here? Minus one of our defensive leaders.

342
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 5: And as a player, Kyle seeing that in real time

343
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 5: and then trying to refocus, and then all of a sudden,

344
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 5: next play, Jesse Lukett goes down. You're like, Okay, well,

345
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 5: game's not gonna stop. We need to keep going.

346
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's tough, And you heard it from players post game.

347
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 7: They wanted this game for mac Wilson. I mean every

348
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 7: game is important when you're a player, but when you're

349
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 7: playing your former team and you want to show them

350
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 7: they had an oversight by letting you walk out that door.

351
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 7: They wanted it for him as well, which says a

352
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 7: lot about this locker room, says a lot about Mac

353
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 7: Wilson and how much they care for him.

354
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 6: By the way, sources report that Chad Ryland very much

355
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 6: enjoyed the win cut by the Patriots last year. Three

356
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 6: for three on field goals, three for three on patscha

357
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 6: Ryland double thumbs up after that.

358
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 5: W Michael Pollardi, the Cardinals new punter as well, a

359
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 5: former New England Patriots. So special teams getting in on

360
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 5: the acts as well. Offense, though, yeah, we know it.

361
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 5: It all revolves around the running back and James Kenner.

362
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 5: We'll talk about that next here on the Arizona Cardinals

363
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: Radio network.

364
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: James Conner passed the twenty five thirty thirty five forty

365
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: forty five to fifty. Connor breaks a tack with thirty

366
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: five thirty and finally run out of bounce inside the

367
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: thirty yard line at about the twenty eight. That'll go

368
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: for fifty two yards for James Connor. Donnor running the left,

369
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: trying to get the edgy dusk at the fifteen, at

370
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: the ten, at the five, and Connor hit at the

371
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: one and down the hair. It'll be first in goal

372
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: from the one yard line.

373
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 4: James Connor bounces that outside and then just stiff arms

374
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 4: his words.

375
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: They run it up the middle, touchdown James Conner. But

376
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: card does blow a hole in the Patriot deffense in

377
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: formation and conn scores from her yard out.

378
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 4: You give me a ground powder at three dirt wickers

379
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 4: and moved it in every time.

380
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: Snap Murray has a handoff Connor straight ahead touchdown. James

381
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: Connor two touchdowns here on the fourth Cardinals extend they're

382
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: lead to twenty nine to ten with three twenty seven.

383
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 5: A go, need to make a play fine number six

384
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 5: on the ground. James Connor one hundred and ten rushing yards.

385
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 5: Fifth time this season he goes for one hundred yards

386
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 5: on the ground. He averaged almost seven yards of carry.

387
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 5: By the way with his performance. Now as you heard

388
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 5: day passion, Ron Wolfley talk about it as we say

389
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 5: welcome back here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report. The

390
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 5: rushing yards and rushing touchdowns James Connor is now fifth

391
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 5: all time on the Cardinals franchise list as far as

392
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 5: rushing yards are concerned, third all time as far as

393
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 5: rushing touchdowns, and he's only played fifty five games in

394
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: a Cardinals uniform, and that, to me, Kyle speaks to

395
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 5: the not only the production, but just the dominance in

396
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 5: which James Connor has run the football since being acquired

397
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 5: by the Cardinals or signed by the Cardinals. I guess

398
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 5: I should say I'm guessing that's one of those moves

399
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 5: that as well as the Steelers are run and as

400
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 5: well as Mike Tomlin is coached and respected, that's one

401
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 5: that they let go out the door.

402
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we're not gonna make that mistake. I mean,

403
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 7: we did the right thing and extended him a couple

404
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 7: of weeks ago, and he's just the guy. He's you

405
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 7: know what you get every single Sunday. And I've played with,

406
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 7: you know, running backs, I've played with other players that

407
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 7: it's kind of a week to week roller coaster whether

408
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 7: they're gonna a show up, be be productive and do

409
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 7: some of the things they did. But he just consistently

410
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 7: goes out there and does these special things with the

411
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 7: football that I think, honestly, we're kind of starting to

412
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 7: take for granted just how good he is. I mean,

413
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 7: catching the ball in the flat and the defender has

414
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 7: him dead to rights and he jukes and picks up

415
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 7: an extra four yards. I mean, he his his ability

416
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 7: to make people miss in both both the open field

417
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 7: and in tight spaces is is incredible. And I don't know,

418
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 7: you know, there are some really talented backs in this league,

419
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 7: and I'm not gonna crown him the best running back,

420
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 7: but he's got to be one of the toughest tackles

421
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 7: in the National Football League. Just guys constantly, you know,

422
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 7: grasping at air when he sticks his foot in the

423
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 7: ground and makes a jump cut. So you know, just, uh,

424
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 7: he is the total package. The way he runs the ball,

425
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 7: the way he can get yardage after the catch, how

426
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 7: how good his hands are, all of all of those things.

427
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's pretty apparent that he is the

428
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 7: key to this offense.

429
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: And he's been.

430
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 6: Among the league leaders, if not leading the league in mistackles,

431
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 6: force and just breaking tackles and the ability to make guys.

432
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 6: If you can get him ahead of steam and get

433
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 6: him to the second level, just get him through the

434
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 6: offensive line, look out, it's gonna take multiple defenders to

435
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 6: bring him down. A few weeks ago, I had a

436
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 6: chance to talk to him a little bit at his locker,

437
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 6: and I just asked him about his vision and whether

438
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 6: that's a gift or if that's learned, because the ability

439
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 6: to be patient and set up blocks and then stoke

440
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 6: it and go off an offensive lineman's backside and everything.

441
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 6: And he sort of smiled, and you don't give many

442
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 6: smiles out of James Connor, because he said, you know what,

443
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 6: that's something I've prided myself on for a long time.

444
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 6: And he said, yeah, some of it is just innate,

445
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 6: but it's also developed over years and just having a

446
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 6: feel for the game, and I think that's an underrated

447
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 6: part of his game. The pass catching, which Kyle mentioned,

448
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 6: and then also just his ability to be patient as

449
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 6: a running back. That's really when a few years ago

450
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 6: David Johnson took off because he learned that from Chris Johnson.

451
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 6: And Chris Johnson who was one of the fastest guys

452
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 6: in the league, but he was very good at waiting

453
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 6: and then stoking, you know, hesitate and accelerate, wait for

454
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 6: the blocks to set and then find that that lane

455
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 6: that little Crease, and I think James Connor he's underrated

456
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 6: in the ability to see where he's going and take

457
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 6: what's available. One hundred and thirty eight total yards from

458
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 6: scrimmage for James Connor, and the Cardinals are now six

459
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 6: and two when he has more than one hundred yards

460
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 6: from scrimmage this season. Kyle the Murray postgame talking about

461
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 6: is number one running back.

462
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 9: He's a horse, you know. Obviously it's hard to stop

463
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 9: once he gets going. I thought he was going to

464
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 9: Cribb the one. You know, I might be the fastest,

465
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 9: so I've probably seen him running a long time. But no,

466
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 9: it's great to see him get going.

467
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 4: You know.

468
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 9: I know it's hard to get everybody in the ball

469
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 9: and everybody wants to play great and have great performances.

470
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 9: But that's part of this game, you know, unselfish group

471
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 9: and sometimes you know, at somebody else's day and somebody

472
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 9: else's day this day. So I was happy for him.

473
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 5: And this is what we've seen now since James has arrived,

474
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 5: especially late in games when the Cardinals, especially when the

475
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 5: Cardinals have the league, they are going to rely on

476
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 5: James Connor. You look at those final two scoring drives,

477
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 5: seven of his sixteen rushing attempts and nine of his

478
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 5: twenty one total touches came on those final two drives. Yeah,

479
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 5: we would all like to see Trey McBride get into

480
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 5: the end zone. We would all like to see Marvin

481
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 5: Harrison Junior catch a back shoulder fade. But the goal

482
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 5: is Kyle to win the game. And right now the

483
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 5: Cardinals are winning because of that ground game overall led

484
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 5: by James Connor.

485
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's to me, it's a testament to the offensive

486
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 7: line and to James Connor. But when when a team

487
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 7: is trying to run the ball to eat up clock

488
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 7: and the defense knows that's exactly what you're gonna do,

489
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 7: and they have eight to nine guys in the box

490
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 7: and you are still able to move them off the line,

491
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 7: create gaps and running back, fight for extra yards and

492
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 7: pick up first downs and and get those very valuable

493
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 7: first downs to keep the clock going. That's a testament

494
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 7: to a phenomenal run game. And again, I think the

495
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 7: offensive line had a fantastic game. I think they really

496
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 7: did a good job. I mean that long run by

497
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 7: James Connor was blocked perfectly. They pulled Froholt and Jonah Williams,

498
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 7: which you don't typically see backside tackles pulling very often.

499
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 7: They both picked up their blocks and he was off

500
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 7: to the races. And and also, you know, I'd like

501
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 7: to say Drew Petsing, I think called a really good

502
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 7: game and just mixing up the runs, whether it be

503
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 7: whether it be a gap scheme where you know, at

504
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 7: times they will pull a center, they'll pull a guard,

505
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 7: they can pull a tackle, they can have tight ends

506
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 7: pulling as well. You just don't get a key on

507
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 7: you know what run is coming. You know the run

508
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 7: is coming, but you don't know what's coming, who's pulling,

509
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 7: who's gonna block you, because they're hitting you from all

510
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 7: angles and it really keeps a defense on their heels.

511
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 5: And without Amari Garmricado on ir with a back injury

512
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 5: and then losing Trey Benson late in that game, James

513
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: Connor played fifty snaps in back to back games for

514
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 5: the first time this season, so relying once again on

515
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 5: James Connor, who earned the praise of head coach Jonathan

516
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 5: Gannon on Monday.

517
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 8: We have some different variety, you know, I like to say,

518
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 8: different variety in the run game. And he can really

519
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 8: do it all. He can run wide zone, he can

520
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 8: run inside zone, he can run gap schemes. He can

521
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 8: do it from gone, from under, from pistol. You know,

522
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 8: he's got a skill set that warrens to be able

523
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 8: to call those certain runs, all of the different ones.

524
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 8: He doesn't do any of those bad. You know, he's

525
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 8: a premier player.

526
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 5: And it's very fortunate that the Cardinals did lock him

527
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 5: up when they did, signing him to a two year

528
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 5: contract extension.

529
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 6: Think about it, it's the seventh time this year the

530
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 6: Cardinals offense has rushed for one fifty plus. Only two

531
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 6: teams have more one hundred and fifty yard rushing games.

532
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 6: It would be Baltimore in Philadelphia. Think about Derrick Henry

533
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,239
Speaker 6: and Saquon Barkley, Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. That's the

534
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 6: identity of the Cardinals offense. When James Connor is firing,

535
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 6: so are the Cardinals. They're putting thirty points on the scoreboard.

536
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 6: It is cause and effect. And what's intriguing is Kyler

537
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 6: really has not run the ball in the last month plus.

538
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 6: If you can get Kyler back into being that effective runner,

539
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: it doesn't have to be a Lamar Jackson, but Jalen

540
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: Hurts still holding those defenses honest in a lot of ways.

541
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 6: So you know, for everything that James Connor is doing,

542
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: I still think there's some untapped potential that with Kyler

543
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 6: both in the run game Kyler to Marvin Arrison Junior

544
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 6: and when you're running it like you are, and by

545
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 6: the way, the offensive line shoutout, definitely warned it and

546
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 6: you know you expected from Yell to frohold Paris Johnson.

547
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 6: My understanding is Jonah Williams now is finally back in

548
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 6: regular season shape and form. He's playing really well. Here's

549
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 6: the unknown X factor is talking to some of the coaches.

550
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 6: Isaiah Adams played his best game. He played really well,

551
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 6: and he is an ascending player, the third round rookie.

552
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 6: So if you're undering, okay, can this Cardinals offense continue

553
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 6: to improve? There's another reason why. Young guy like Isaiah

554
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 6: Adams who just gets better with every rep.

555
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 5: Well, you brought up JOHNA. Williams the fumble recovery for

556
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 5: a touchdown. As I mentioned earlier, how things kind of

557
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 5: bounced the Cardinals way on Sunday literally following on that

558
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 5: football for the touchdown. He joined you, Paul on the

559
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 5: Cardinals locker room show, talking about that first career touchdown

560
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: all the way since back when he was in sixth grade.

561
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: It was sort of just like seaball, get ball.

562
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: You know.

563
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 11: I was running out there and it's you know, that's

564
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 11: something JG talks about a lot. It's just like MODI

565
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 11: play and finish and so just solve balls sprained. There's

566
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 11: another guy coming with me, So it just kind of

567
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 11: dove and I didn't really know what happened until about

568
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 11: forty five seconds later and people explained it to me.

569
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 11: I was like, oh, that is I don't know how

570
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 11: that works.

571
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 6: So you don't have any performance incentives or bonuses for

572
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 6: touchdowns to year contract, do you No?

573
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 11: And it's actually going to be a fine in the

574
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 11: O line room. So it's actually sort of a negative,

575
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 11: but it's worth it. It's worth it for the glory.

576
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 5: A fine for doing something positive and then speaking to

577
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 5: the media. Do We've heard this for years with the

578
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 5: offensive line, anything that they can get dinged on as

579
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 5: far as anything positive, positive press, their name showing up

580
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 5: in prints back when you know people like actually read newspapers.

581
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 5: But Kyle, this is this is something that is just

582
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 5: kind of unique to the offensive line, is it not?

583
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 7: Yes, unique to offensive line, but universal. You know, they're

584
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 7: a weird bunch and and they do strange things. They

585
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 7: make up weird games, they watch weird shows together. They

586
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 7: have a different sense of humor. But it's a thing

587
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 7: that I appreciated. They don't let anybody in except for

588
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 7: maybe the quarterback, into their group and to some of

589
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 7: their games and some of their traditions, and but it's, uh,

590
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 7: it's it's always one of the most lively fun groups.

591
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 7: If if you could spend fifteen minutes in an offensive

592
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 7: line meeting room, you would you would just be rolling

593
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 7: on the floor. And you got a little bit of

594
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 7: a glimpse of that when the cameras went inside the

595
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 7: offensive line meeting room during during the hard knocks that

596
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 7: the n season hard knocks of the Arizona Cardinals. But yeah,

597
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 7: I mean they from from early on, even in college,

598
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 7: they're like that. And I never really understood it. I

599
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 7: don't try to, but it works for them.

600
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 6: Just the fine system is intriguing. Okay, what you get

601
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 6: fined for in your ass, A lot of it is

602
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 6: when you meet the media that shall be fined.

603
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 11: Uh.

604
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 6: There was one earlier this year where Will Hernettaz couldn't

605
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 6: get to his locker because Paris Johnson Junior was doing

606
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 6: the media scrums. So Will declare that was triple the

607
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 6: fine because he actually couldn't get to his locker.

608
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 3: I'd love to know what the tote.

609
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 6: Board says right now in the old line room, because

610
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 6: it's just a few dollars at a time, and then

611
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 6: they put it towards a good cause at the very end.

612
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 6: I just love to know what the actual total, the

613
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 6: collective total is at this point because seemingly, when in doubt,

614
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 6: there's a fine and guys finding each other, some self

615
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 6: imposed fines for certain infractions, and then some are worth it,

616
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 6: like the glory of getting a touchdown.

617
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 5: Maybe that's an assignment for you, Paul this week is

618
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: to figure out who's actually leading, because that would be

619
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 5: a badge of glory as well. Okay I'm leading, No,

620
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 5: it's me, and then get fined for talking to you.

621
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 5: To figure out who's in the lead.

622
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 6: For finals, you know what, we need an ITAM investigation.

623
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: I like that.

624
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 6: We're gonna go behind the scenes, so we're gonna try

625
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 6: and figure out what is the total, who is the

626
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 6: team leader? You know where does it all stand? And

627
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 6: that's good. Yeah, we're gonna get on.

628
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 4: That all right.

629
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 5: That's the assignment for Paul calvec bird Gang your assignment.

636
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 5: second half of the show. Kyle's side of the ball,

637
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 5: the defense and how effective they were against the Patriots.

638
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 3: We'll discuss that next.

639
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 5: This is the Cardinals Red Sea Report on the Arizona

640
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 5: Cardinals Radio Network.

641
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: He takes the snap Cardinals rush four back to pass

642
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: in troubling sack by drowning back at the twenty yard line.

643
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: Coming from the blind side, getting the.

644
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 2: Little Drake May Grease May setting up now steps up

645
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: middle of the field, He's hit at the forty breaks

646
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: the tackle though, and dives close to the first down

647
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: because he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage. It's

648
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: a sack. I'm that third down play and it went

649
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: to Darius Robinson his first NFL SAT fourth and one

650
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: at the Cardinal four may under center Stevenson. The tailback

651
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: gets to carry running to the left and it's going

652
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: to be close. Hi's here, White and L J. Collier

653
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: on the tap is short and the Cardinals takeover on

654
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: downs at their four yard line. Pass over the middle,

655
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: pulled in and then intercept that it was redirected into

656
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: the arms of Murphy Bunting. He's tackled in the forty

657
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: five and the Cardinals get a takeaway.

658
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 5: Can't say enough about the defense and how well they

659
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 5: played against the Patriots. Yeah, they were a couple of

660
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 5: touchdowns scored against them late, but I think at that

661
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 5: point it's more window dressing than anything else. The game

662
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 5: had been decided. But as we talked about earlier, this

663
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 5: was a defense that lost two starters within the first

664
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 5: five plays of the game. And what you saw on

665
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 5: that goal line stand was Chris Barnes, who maybe we

666
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 5: don't see on the field because of the Mac Wilson

667
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 5: senior injury, but was a part of both the third

668
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 5: down stop and fourth down stop and then the takeaway

669
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 5: by Sean Murphy Bunting which led to a Cardinals touchdown.

670
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, let's give the defense some credit. But Paul,

671
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 5: we've been doing that basically all season long. Continue to

672
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 5: exceed expectations.

673
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 6: And just like the offense, it starts up front right,

674
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 6: starts in the trenches. In fact, here's a question I

675
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 6: thought of on the fly during JG's TV show this week,

676
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 6: and then we ran out of time, But maybe for

677
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 6: the better, because maybe I should not have asked this.

678
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 6: So I'm going to test drive this question on our own.

679
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 6: Kyle Vannenbosch, Okay, twelve years in the league, how often

680
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 6: did you ever win a game while losing the line

681
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 6: of scrimmage? How often? How many times did it happen

682
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 6: where you went into game, your team lost the line

683
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 6: of scrimmage, but you still won the game.

684
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 7: I don't recall that happening. I mean, I don't. It's

685
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 7: extremely difficult to do. I mean because if you're getting

686
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 7: whooped up front, it's offensively, you can't get anything going. Defensively,

687
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 7: you're not able to stop the run. Offense can do

688
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 7: whatever they want. So to me, you know, there's a

689
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 7: lot of metrics and a lot of things turnover ratio

690
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 7: and time of possession that can point to wins losses,

691
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 7: you know, and it's difficult to measure, but if you

692
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 7: just kind of zoom out and watch the line of scrimmage,

693
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 7: most of the time, the team that's winning the line

694
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 7: of scrimmage is winning that ball game.

695
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: And we saw that on Sunday. The Cardinals won both

696
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 5: lines of scrimmage, both on the offensive side and on

697
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 5: the defensive side. Post game, Kaizier White, who finished with

698
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 5: once again double digit tackles. He's now over one hundred

699
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 5: and four of the season for the first time since

700
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two. He talked with you Paul on the

701
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 5: Cardinals Locker Room Show about that defensive performance.

702
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 12: Feels real good, you know, it was always hard. Getting

703
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 12: and winning the NFL feel great, But I still feel

704
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 12: like we could be a lot better, man, for sure,

705
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 12: all across all the way across the board. I feel

706
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 12: like we could hold that team, no disrespect to zero points.

707
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 12: So I mean, yeah, feel good to get the win,

708
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 12: but I feel like we could be a lot better.

709
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 5: Well, it's hard to be better than what the Cardinals

710
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 5: were on third down zero of six. They did not

711
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 5: allow a third down. They have not done that in

712
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 5: a game since twenty eighteen and they kept Drake May

713
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 5: in the pocket fourteen rushing yards on four attempts. That

714
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 5: was a big key going into that game based off

715
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 5: how well May is on scram plays and play extension.

716
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon, having reviewed the film, met the media on Monday,

717
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 5: asked about the defense.

718
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 8: The quarterback had a lot to do with how we

719
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 8: played today, And I thought, for the most part, did

720
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 8: a pretty good job and not letting them beat us

721
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 8: with extension. And I thought we were in his face

722
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 8: a little bit, but I thought they played well enough

723
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 8: to win. You know, it was a good job by

724
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 8: the defense.

725
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 5: And the next Gen stats because you know, Kyle, we're

726
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 5: all fans of next gen stats. But it was how

727
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 5: well that Cardinals defense did not allow plays behind him

728
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: over the top.

729
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 3: I mean, it was.

730
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 5: All basically under ten air yards. As far as Drake

731
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 5: May's completion percentage, he was just two of six over

732
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 5: ten air yards for sixty three yards and the interception.

733
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 5: So the things that Drake May had been doing well,

734
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 5: he didn't do well on Sunday.

735
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's that's kind of their offense. That's where

736
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 7: they're at right now without you know, a lot of

737
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 7: weapons at wide receiver. But the defense, once again, and

738
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 7: we've said this so many times this season, came in

739
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 7: with a great game plan, went out there and executed.

740
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 7: I think played with the requisite mode of play energy.

741
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 7: I saw a lot of hustle from the backside. I

742
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 7: saw a lot of guys making plays either at the

743
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 7: line of scrimmage or behind. And you know, I referenced

744
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 7: that they averaged their third down to go was at

745
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 7: nine yards and you know, with two sacks, six tackles

746
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 7: for a loss, those types of things are gonna happen.

747
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 7: And the whole front was disruptive and to me, two

748
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 7: of the biggest, you know, encouraging things to come out

749
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 7: of this games. I thought Baron Browning played a really

750
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 7: good game, looked really explosive, had a good get off

751
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 7: off the edge, had to sack himself with his get off,

752
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 7: and had showed great effort and hustle, and Darius Robinson

753
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 7: getting his first sack, getting more playing time really kind

754
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 7: of rounding into form and being the disruptive type of

755
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 7: player we all envision.

756
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 5: Cardinals don't have that number one sack artist, if you will.

757
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 5: They don't have someone who's gonna get double digits and sacks.

758
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 5: But what they do have, Kyle is maybe sacks by committee.

759
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 5: An NFL high, sixteen different players have at least one

760
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 5: full sack this season. Now, would you all like to

761
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 5: have a number one guy to get double digit?

762
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 3: Sure?

763
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 5: But hearing that stat is that the players on the

764
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 5: field or is that more Nick Rowlis and the defensive

765
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 5: coaches putting players in position to make place?

766
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's a little both. I think Nick

767
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 7: Rollis does a fantastic job of dialing up you know,

768
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 7: some exotic blitzes, some regular blitzer that take advantage of protections.

769
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 7: I will tell you this, an offensive coordinator and an

770
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 7: offense and general offensive line would prefer to face a

771
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 7: team that has one guy that's the closer because you

772
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 7: can game plan for that. You can chip, you can

773
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 7: double team, you can do things to take care of

774
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 7: teams that have guys that are double digit sackers. Now,

775
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 7: when you're facing a team that has, you know, sixteen

776
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 7: guys capable of getting to the quarterback, there's no way

777
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 7: to prepare for that. There's no way to know who's

778
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 7: going to be coming on any given play. So I

779
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 7: think the way this defense is playing now with so

780
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 7: many contributors, so many guys getting after the quarterback and

781
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 7: adding to the front, I think it's extremely difficult for

782
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 7: offenses to prepare for.

783
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 6: I'm intrigued by Baron Browning and what he's got in

784
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 6: these last three games. Not only did he have the sack,

785
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 6: he had two tackles for loss, he had a quarterback hit.

786
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 6: My understanding is he's really comfortable now, he's playing, not

787
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 6: thinking in this system. After the trade from Denver, his

788
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 6: legs feel really good. He finally feels like regular season four. Remember,

789
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 6: he had some injuries he dealt with earlier in the year.

790
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 6: Now that he's getting some more reps. Who knows the

791
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 6: status of Jesse Luketta and Mac Wilson. But if he

792
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 6: can get into a flow, get into a rhythm, I'm

793
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 6: curious if he can be really productive over these last

794
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 6: three games in much more of a featured role, just

795
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 6: out of necessity more than anything else.

796
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 5: He's obviously doing something right because for the first time

797
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 5: since Week two, an outside linebacker not named Xavin Collins

798
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 5: played the most snaps at outside linebacker, and that was

799
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 5: Baron Browning on Sunday. Maybe a lot of that had

800
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 5: to do with the fact that you lost Mac Wilson

801
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 5: and Jesse look at it early in the game, but

802
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 5: we do know that they like that rotation along the

803
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 5: outside linebackers. So, by the way, speaking of Mac and

804
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 5: his injury, let's hear more from Kaizer White postgame on

805
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 5: the Cardinals Locker Room Show about losing his teammates and

806
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 5: the guy that he lines up next to for most

807
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 5: of the defense.

808
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 12: That's my brother, Mats. So you know, to see him

809
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 12: go down like that, it was definitely heartbreaking. But to

810
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 12: see him get back up on his feet and walk off,

811
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 12: you know, I was praying for him heavily. He's he

812
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 12: don't got to see in his chest, but to me,

813
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 12: he's a captain man like he bring everybody together. He

814
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 12: a great vocal guy, great person you want on your team.

815
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 12: So when he went down, we just wanted to rally

816
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 12: behind him.

817
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 5: And then guys stepped up, as I mentioned Chris Barnes

818
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 5: playing well and being part of those goal line stops

819
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 5: on third and fourth down. And now this is something

820
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 5: that you hate to see an injury and hate to

821
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 5: have someone lost this week in Carolina, but that's a

822
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 5: very real possibility because we've seen you suffer a concussion

823
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 5: on Sunday. It's it's gonna take some time. It's gonna

824
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 5: take some I want to say magic, but it's it's

825
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 5: unlikely that you play the following week. At least that's

826
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 5: the track record that that is the precedent that you

827
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 5: typically missed the next game.

828
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 3: Not always. We'll see exactly.

829
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 6: You know, they definitely air on the side of precaution,

830
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 6: you know, not only the next week, but me maybe

831
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 6: even during the game.

832
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: So we'll see exactly. We do know this.

833
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 6: Cardinals were much better against the gap scheme than they

834
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 6: were against Seattle. You know, they did a much better

835
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 6: job against a lot of the polling linemen because New

836
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 6: England tried that at a time they have two very hard

837
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 6: charging running backs. Cardinals did a good job for the

838
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 6: most part in tackling getting those two guys down. And

839
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 6: then there was a little bit of drama after the

840
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 6: game when Gerd Mayo was asked, well, why didn't you

841
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 6: run Drake may on third and one, fourth and one

842
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 6: where the Cardinals stuffed him turnover on downs and his

843
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 6: response to the media guy asking the question, you said it,

844
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 6: I didn't. So then there was a lot of focus

845
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 6: on alex Van Pelt, the offensive coordinator, and whether the

846
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 6: head coach had just thrown him under the bus so

847
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 6: on Monday morning he had to do little damage control.

848
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, walked it back a little bit, did the head

849
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 5: coach on Monday morning? Cardinals? Now with that win behind them,

850
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 5: next week in Carolina always a difficult place to play

851
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 5: for a number of reasons. We'll discuss that as we

852
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 5: continue here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

853
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 2: Kurt Warner takes an ee and the Arizona Cardinals won't

854
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 2: play for the National Football Conference Championship next week. Cardinals fans,

855
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: do you believe this football team? An incredible performance in Charlotte.

856
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 2: They throttle the Panthers thirty three to thirteen. The Arizona

857
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: Cardinals won't play for the right to go to the

858
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.

859
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 5: One of the few good trips to Carolina for the

860
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals the two thousand and eight Divisional game day.

861
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 5: Pash on the call, and yeah, the Cardinals would wind

862
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 5: up in the Super Bowl that year. As we say

863
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 5: welcome back it as the Cardinals Red Sea report, Craig

864
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 5: reyloupl Calvic and ky Van and Bosch talking about a

865
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 5: trip to Carolina coming up this weekend. On Sunday, eleven

866
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 5: am is the kickoff six thirty Pregame coverage begins here

867
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 5: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. It is a two

868
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 5: day trip. The weather, well, let's just say, Paul, you

869
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 5: better bundle up because it is not looking good at

870
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 5: least the forecast here as of Tuesday for Sunday.

871
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 6: All right, lay it on me. I don't look till Friday,

872
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 6: but lay it on me. Forty forty forty.

873
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: We can do that. Forty and sunny.

874
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 5: The sunny part would be better because then you get

875
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 5: a little bit of as long as it's not windy.

876
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 6: Listening to the two thousand and eight highlight their chills,

877
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 6: as the kids would say, and then they'll be chills

878
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 6: this Sunday in a different way.

879
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 3: So there you go.

880
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 6: And that was a remarkable win because the Panthers started

881
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 6: the game, they went six plays down the field, scored immediately,

882
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 6: Oh boy, rough row because you had lost to Carolina

883
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 6: in the regular season. And then the Cardinals scored five

884
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 6: straight touchdowns unanswered, and by the time the game was done,

885
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 6: it was five interceptions by Jake delom and he was

886
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 6: literally apologizing to his teammates in the huddle at the

887
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 6: end of the game.

888
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 3: He was so bad. Wasn't it his birthday?

889
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 6: I think so, I'm not exactly. He was given away gifts.

890
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 6: He was never the same after that as an NFL quarterback.

891
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 6: He was a Pro Bowler that year and not even

892
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 6: close after that game.

893
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 5: And as I mentioned, that was one of the few

894
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 5: good trips to Carolina because the Cardinals before two years ago,

895
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 5: when they played in Carolina in twenty twenty two and one,

896
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 5: the Cardinals had lost seven straight regular season games in Carolina,

897
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 5: whether it's the weather, the early start time. This goes

898
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 5: back a number of years, Kyle, when sometimes there's just

899
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 5: a trip, there's just an opponent that, for whatever reason,

900
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 5: despite the constant roster turnover and coaching changes, you just

901
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 5: don't play well in their building.

902
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, we see things like that all the time in

903
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 7: the National Football Like you can see it in the

904
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 7: Cardinals division, where certain teams have other team's numbers and

905
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 7: it's really no rhyme or reason for it. But you know,

906
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 7: and we talked about this a little bit off the

907
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 7: air when I was an Arizona Cardinal, and you know,

908
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 7: really the history of Arizona, it's just those early games,

909
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 7: the early window. You're not used to getting up that early,

910
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 7: get going. Your body clock is not quite right for

911
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 7: those early games. That seemed to be the biggest struggle.

912
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 7: But you know, again, if there's any man I trust

913
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 7: getting this team ready for those situations, it's Jonathan Gannon.

914
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 7: And you know they're kind of exercising a lot of

915
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 7: demons this season. All of a sudden, they're a very

916
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 7: good home team that they can win games on the road,

917
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 7: they can win games in the early windows. So I

918
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 7: don't expect it to be an issue against the Carolina Panthers.

919
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 5: We'll put it this way, Paul, it shouldn't be an issue.

920
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 5: This is a Panthers team that is three and eleven.

921
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 5: They have lost four in a row.

922
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 3: They did not.

923
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 5: Look good in a thirty to fourteen home loss to

924
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 5: the Cowboys that had been playing well. Bryce Young turned

925
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 5: it over four times, he was sacked six times. They're

926
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 5: not good against the run, defending the run so much

927
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 5: like the Patriots game. Again, Cardinals on paper are a

928
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 5: better team.

929
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 6: So the Cardinals have gone against three rookie quarterbacks this

930
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 6: season that picks one, two, and three. Bryce Young obviously

931
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 6: the number one pick.

932
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: Last year.

933
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 6: His career record as a starter in the NFL right

934
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 6: now is four and twenty one. Let that hang in

935
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 6: the air a little bit, and every single defensive run

936
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 6: defensive metric, they're dead last. They've given up one ninety

937
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 6: plus in terms of rushing yards five of the last

938
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 6: six games. So don't overthink it. Feed James Connor, feed

939
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 6: DJ Dallas. If you have to just run the ball,

940
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 6: come off the ball, and hopefully come home with a

941
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 6: win real quick.

942
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Is.

943
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 5: Those sometimes the more difficult games as a player, when

944
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 5: you see the record and you see the lack of talent.

945
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 7: That can be absolutely and you just never know what

946
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 7: a team's motivation is. I mean, we saw a team

947
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 7: this week that had nothing to play for and it

948
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 7: kind of looked like that. But sometimes you're that team

949
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 7: super Bowl. They feel like they're gonna get some momentum

950
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 7: if they can knock you off. So the team, you know,

951
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 7: the Arizona Cardinals will be.

952
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,640
