Two things have rocked the NFL 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:12.119 this week. Number one, the Card's big dub against Big 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:17.040 d turning that Cowboys defense into all hat no cattle 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:22.720 we done reckon. And number two the Taylor Swift Effect. 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.360 How Travis Kelsey Wolf is now added five hundred thousand 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.440 IG followers and his merch sales are up over four 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:37.319 hundred percent. By the way, Patrick Mahomes confirming yesterday that 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.880 he has now officially met Taylor Swift. If you're wondering, 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.480 and I know you are, Wolf Kelsey and Taylor Swift 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.040 the escaped Arrowhead Stadium in a secret getaway car after 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:52.440 the game, and Kelsey now reports that he has spotted 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.200 paparazzi in his front yard. 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.920 That is unbelievable, Pully, It is the Taylor Swift of 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.400 it is. And I know you know all about that 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:03.400 being the swift you. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.560 Are, by the way. You beat me to that joke. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.040 By the way, the first Sunday night football game for 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.960 the Jets since twenty eleven, they're at home to Kansas City. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.800 Taylor Swift will be in attendance, and all the Jets, 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.919 all the Jets glory will be you served by the chiefs, 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.119 Patrick Mahomes and of course Taylor Swift. So good luck 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.480 to the Jets, because quote, it can always get worse, 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.320 it will on Sunday Night. Welcome into the Big Red Rage. 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.640 Ron Dale Moore is our feature guest tonight, all presented 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.519 by Santan Ford and Gilbert. We are Santan Ford, Paul 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.600 Kelvic here, Ron Wolfley. 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.359 There, PAULI who said I was joking when I said 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.120 that about being a swifty That's right. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.040 I am intrigued. I am intrigued as to how sideways 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.240 it gets. What a complete side show it'll be on 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.679 Sunday Night Football. I mean, are you kidding me? They're 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.320 the national TV audience. By the way, the Arizona Cardinals 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.280 had the most watched television program of any kind in 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.280 the Phoenix metro market for this past week, a TV 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.679 rating of sixteen point nine and a share of fifty two. 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.240 So big numbers, big, big numbers for the TV side 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.800 after a big win against Big d and wolf would 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.440 you like the most? By the way, coming off that 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:11.400 win against Dallas? 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.639 You know what Paully going into that game right there, 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.880 It was the fact the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Dallas 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.480 Cowboys in the fundamentals of the game of football. You know, 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.240 it's been around for a long long time, Paulie. But 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.359 they had to do three things, and I was talking 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.400 about this last week. If they were even going to 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.959 be competitive in this game, they had to do three things. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.600 They had to run the ball. Did they run the ball. Okay, 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.680 PAULI in this game, did they do it? Okay? 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.520 Dang seven point four yards of carry. They ran the ball. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.800 They ran the ball very very well, and a lot 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.480 of those runs were in a norsal fashion right at 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.280 Michael Parsons as well. They ran the ball extremely well, 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.960 controlled the line of scrimmage, they protected the ball. How 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.400 many turnovers did the Arizona Cardinals have? 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.160 Well, Josh Dobbs says, you have to throw an innerce 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:01.480 for example. 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.960 That's right, Paul, like a big fat zero. So you 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.480 take those two right there, and then the red zone. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.320 How important it is to score touchdowns when you're in 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.560 the red zone, when you're given the opportunity to actually 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.640 get it in and hit Peydart. The Arizona Cardinals were 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.720 two of two, two possessions they got into the red zone, 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:25.440 and two touchdowns. They converted those possessions into where the 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.839 Dallas Cowboys were one of five. Those numbers right there 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.720 tell the whole story, and. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.159 Of course the word of the week finish because in 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.240 the first two games you had fourth quarter leads they vanished. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.640 This time you closed it out and you've vanquished the 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.320 Dallas Cowboys. Here's Jonathan Gannon on the win against Dallas. 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.960 They fought and they played hard, and that's what we've 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.839 been doing for two weeks. I told them right there. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.000 The difference of the game was we didn't beat ourselves 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.400 and we made some place. You know, execution was good. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.599 There obviously a lot of things that clean up, but 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.479 some guys stepped up ma big time plays. But we 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.000 didn't beat ourselves and we made the plays that we 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:04.640 needed to make. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.960 Honestly, Dallas looked like the Cardinals from last year. A 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.880 slow start, plenty of flags, struggles in the red zone, right, 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.240 self inflicted stuff. That's what Dallas looked like. And because 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.520 that's what the Cardinals did to them, they came out 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.400 they were the more aggressive, more physical team. I reported Wolf, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.159 you know during the broadcast that what Jonathan Gannon said 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.760 at halftime, faster team wins. And he wasn't just talking 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.440 about team speed, he was talking about how you react, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.039 how you implement just that football IQ. And to me, 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.839 you look at this Cardinals team this year, especially Kaiser 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.479 White with his fourteen tackles and the game ceiling pick 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.400 at the end, it's a Cardinals defense that, even minus 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.520 Buddha Baker is a fast defense for those reasons I 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.600 just cited him correct. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.400 Yes, no doubt, Paly, it really is. And the other 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.599 thing I like about the Arizona Cardinals and what we're 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.920 seeing with this version of the Arizona Cardinals through three 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.560 games right now, and it's still a small sample size, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.480 but three games right now, I love what Drew Petsing 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.960 is doing with this offense. Paul. To me, it's fascinating. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.520 We use eleven personnel an awful lot of the time 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.520 in rundown situation first and ten second, one to six, 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.280 one back, one tight end, three wide receivers. We use 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.120 it a lot. What's interesting about that when we get 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.000 into eleven personnel, the Arizona Cardinals are running the ball 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.720 more than they're throwing the ball in that rundown And 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.680 it's just the opposite. The second personnel group that we 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.200 use a lot in rundown situation is twelve personnel, one back, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.000 two tight ends. Of course, but when we get into 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:44.080 twelve personnel under Drew Petsing, granted through three games, the 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.240 Arizona Cardinals are more likely to throw the ball than 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.520 run the ball. Very interesting what Drew Petsing is doing 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.120 right now and I love it. I love the blending 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:56.560 of the old and the new, and he's doing a 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:57.400 great job at it. 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.600 Think about this offense, and we talked about it all 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.640 lost during the preseason, the whole Kramitt vertical, right, I mean, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.880 right now, they're number two in yards per carry, their 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.600 number five and overall rushing yards. Most rushing yards with 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.520 the Cardinals as a team since Wolf you were the 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.480 lead fullback in nineteen eighty eight, No way, Yes, and d. 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.800 Through the first three games, they have one hundred and 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.760 sixty nine yards rushing, the most since nineteen eighty eight, 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.840 and a big part of that the explosives. They have 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.560 eight runs of twenty or more yards. Do you know 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.280 all of last season the Cardinals had nine twenty plus 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:35.040 runs all season long. So there's that there's a quarterback 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.440 who can run. We saw his forty four yard keeper. 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.760 And here's Jonathan Gannon on the development of Josh Dobbs. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.600 I think he's played winning football for since he's been here. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.640 But yeah, I think you guys will continue to see 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.280 his improvement and as he gets more and more comfortable. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.240 But I mean you could ask him, he's pretty comfortable 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.160 right now. He's making a bunch of plays for us. 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.640 He's got good command in the huddle. He's doing a 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:57.040 good job. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.520 So we knew Josh Dobbs could run, we didn't quite 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.120 expect the forty four yarder where he hit nineteen point 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.080 eight miles an hour, even faster in the next gen 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.080 stats than our guest tonight, Ronde More. We'll get into 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.640 that a little bit later with Ronde. But Wolf, if 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:14.240 you're telling me he can run an offense, what do 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.600 the Cardinals have here in Josh Dobbs? 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.920 Yeah, Wow, Polly, I don't know. They've got a guy 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.120 that I think is going to be here long terms 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.560 in terms of being a backup quarterback. I think I 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.680 could see that now. Again, they signed him to a really, 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.840 really manageable one year contract this year, but I could 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.360 see him at some point in time being the backup 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.880 quarterback here. The way we all thought Colt McCoy was 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.880 going to be the backup quarterback and was for three years. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.160 I could see that happening with Josh Dobbs here going forward. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:48.720 Could you absolutely? 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:49.000 Now? 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.840 The question is who throws how much money at him? 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.959 He's making one point five this year. That is looking 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.200 to be the steal of the year in a league 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.160 where Jacoby Brissec got ten million for one year from 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.959 Washington eight million guaranteed. Yes, what exactly is going to 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.920 be his value in the offseason, We've got a long 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.400 time to answer that question. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.600 Well, Paully, I'll tell you right now. If he's going 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.480 to continue to play at a quarterback rating of ninety 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.640 eight point one, and that's what he is playing right now, 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.360 he's he might blow Jacoby Brossett out of the water 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.640 in terms of backup money. So he's really performing well. 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.040 Just watching Josh Dobbs again, and it's got to be 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.600 so comforting for and Drew Petsing of course, and Jag 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.720 and the entire staff really to have a guy that 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.440 understands the offense, knows the offense and is going out 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.920 there and executing it, it's got to be very encouraging 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:43.800 to them. 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.680 So the Cardinals win against Dallas twenty eight to sixteen. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.920 They never trailed. They finished this game. They held onto 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.720 the fourth quarter lead. And here is speaking of holding 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.080 onto things, here's Josh dobbson just keeping that momentum going. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:00.600 Complacency is always the enemy of progress. So many times 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.319 you know when you've had success you can come complacent. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.480 He'd be like, Okay, like we've done in the past, 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.280 we'll do it well. The only way to do that 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.240 is keep doing what you've done in the past and 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.240 preparing to go out, start those games fast, locking on 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.160 the game plan, executing just little things and walk through 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.080 because it all translates to Sunday. So you know, for 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.000 me as quarterback, you know I signed the leader of 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.200 the ship. Just staying on my guys, the team and 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.040 continually locking into those little details because they help us 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:26.480 on Sundays. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:27.960 All right, if I need to pump the brakes and 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.360 you tell me Wolf. But here's my thinking on Josh Dobbs. 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.079 He had never started a game until the end of 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.320 last season, year six. He started week seventeen Week eighteen, 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.520 made a big improvement from one game to the next. 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.839 He comes into this year, didn't get many reps in 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.240 the preseason, comes to the Cardinals eight days notice, starts 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.280 game one. He is a passer rating of eighty. Game 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.800 two a passer rating to one hundred, Game three a 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.360 passer rating of one twenty. He had never started three 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.839 games in a row. He's never started four games in 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.920 a row. Obviously, that's what's happening this week? So if 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.480 you talk about the guy with the aerospace engineering degree 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.680 and who does internships in NASA to what degree? Is 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:09.959 Josh Dobbs the UFO unidentified unknown finally getting an opportunity. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.000 A dude who had to sit behind Big Ben after 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.840 he was drafted. He's finally getting playing time. They finally 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.400 gained the keys to an offense for an extended period 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.800 of time. Are we finding out what he's been about 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:23.080 all this time? 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.600 Yeah, Polly, you know, it's still one of the things 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.480 you got to remember too that Cardinals have done a 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.480 great job of keeping Josh Dobbs in a balanced offense, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.120 only had twenty one attempts, only had twenty one attempts, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.000 and that's because you didn't have to have him go 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.800 out and have forty one attempts in this game, so 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.280 to me keep them in that balanced offense. 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.400 And of course now he gets the Niners defense in 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.520 their front seven, and he might not have Hollywood Brown. 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.920 We'll see a thumb injury showing up on the injury 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.920 report today. It's the big red rage ron Dale Moore 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.560 coming up a little later. All presented by Santan Ford 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.720 and Gilbert we are santan Ford. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:04.839 You're gonna send Cooks out to the left and two 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.760 receivers to the right, shotgun formation, where Dak Prescott follered 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:12.559 to his left. Prescott the pass straight drop Fiers middle 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.000 of the end zone, pickoff, Kaizer White with the interception. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.560 Man that might do in Dallas. Wow, Kaizier White in 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.480 the middle of the end zone. I don't know that 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.520 Prescott ever saw him. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:31.360 Shock the world. Kaizer shock the world. What a great 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:38.360 job dropping off into coverage. Dak Prescott trying to hit 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.600 Brandon Cooks over the middle of the field and Kaizer 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:42.559 White picked it. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.640 How about that the quarterback of the defense, Kaizer White. 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.600 We talked a lot about the quarterback of the offense, 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.760 Josh Dobbs. They had one thing in common. After the game. 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.480 They were both holding on too game balls. Josh Dobbs 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.680 took his to the podium. Kaizer White didn't let go 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.600 of the interception all the way to this sideline and 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.960 then into the locker room, and after the game we 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.560 had a chance to talk to him. He said, you 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.120 know what, that was especially meaningful, not only his second 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.280 career pick, but because he'd been working on that exact 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.640 play call that drop and he said, according to him, 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:14.760 he'd been messing it up all week in practice, finally 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.440 got it right and then Boom obviously nailed it in 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.480 the game to seal the game and a win for 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.959 the Cardinals, who, by the way, are seven points away 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.440 from being three and oh dot dot dot. It's the 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.760 big red rage. Rondel Moore right around the corner, Paul, 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.720 calvic Ron, Wolfley and wolf What is Kaizer White done 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:33.640 for this defense in your estimation? 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.640 Yeah, PAULI you know he's given him another coach on 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.440 the field right now. Kaiser White understands the defense that 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.360 Nick Rowlis wants to run. He understands this defense. He 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.800 understands what JG wants. This is a guy that make 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.160 sure everyone is on the same page. Ball. What I 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.920 love the most about what I'm saying from Kaizer as well, 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.160 this is a man who does not want to come 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.920 off the field, Paul. Every snap he was in this game, 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.560 every snap, does not want to come off the field. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.600 A guy that is equally as physical as he is athletic, 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.120 a guy that can hammer at the point of attack, 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.559 get off a block and make a tackle, and at 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.000 the same time a guy that can drop into coverage, 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.400 read the eyes of the quarterback. That's what he did 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:22.240 against Dak Prescott. Read the eyes of the quarterback and 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.000 drop off and then suddenly finish the play and make 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:30.120 a play. That play was absolutely huge, and Paul it 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.800 was no accident that he was where he was. His 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:38.040 brain told him, here comes Brandon Cooks. He's coming across 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.600 the middle. I'm looking at Dak Prescott, He's looking at him. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:46.600 He dropped off because his brain told him to drop 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.760 off into coverage and he was in the perfect spot 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.680 to make that pick. I honestly don't think Dak Prescott 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.880 thought once once he squatted and stopped, I don't think 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.960 Dak Prescott ever thought of him. Again. 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.720 Remember what Kaiser White told us last week on the 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:03.480 Big Red Rage. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:03.680 Right. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:07.720 As a former safety in junior college, he has been 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:12.480 known as a coverage linebacker. But the physicality, the downhill 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.560 style that he brings, the ability to go sideline to sideline, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.720 I mean he has been the complete package. To come 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.120 full circle to what you said, he has been a 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.440 three down inside linebacker. And now look at this Cardinals 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:27.000 defense that despite quite a few injuries right their numberze, 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.640 they have eleven sacks. That's top five in the league. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:34.160 Yet they have the lowest NFL blitz rate of any team, 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.000 which is remarkable to me. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.600 If the fans in Philly are freaking out over that still, Paul. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.680 So there's all that, and then of course there's the 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.880 red zone defense, and that might have been the difference 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.120 in the game. Look, Dallas as an offense was one 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.360 of five in the red zone. I know after the game, 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.960 Dak Prescott, he was railing and whining and griping and 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.320 grousing and saying, quote, we moved the ball up and 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.400 down the field, we just couldn't score. Well, that's the 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.560 object of the game. You couldn't get in the end zone. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:06.000 And here's Nick Rollis, the Cardinals defensive coordinator on that. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:11.000 After a week of preparation and our preparation going into Dallas, 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.400 like we executed better in the red zone. That was huge, 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.160 you know. You know, honestly, the first two weeks it 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.600 wasn't really what you want to be in the red zone. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.120 So I was played with the guy with the players 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.720 and US coaches maybe coaching a little bit better, had 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.240 a little bit better plan. But the red zone defense 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.280 was obviously improved from week one and week two. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.760 And once again that's about Buddha Baker. They're missing two 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.440 of their top defensive linemen and LJ. Colliy or Carlos Watkins. 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.040 They have some young corners like Key Troll Clark who 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.160 got targeted eleven times. He battled, right. I mean, so 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.320 look from what I can tell talking to the guys 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.040 Wolf and you tell me what looks like from up 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:51.120 above and on film. But they're keeping it simple in 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.080 the name of making sure there's no mental mistakes and 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:55.440 the ability to play fast. 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.000 Yeah, that's it, Bali right there, it really is. Yeah, 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.680 you want these guys fast. But it's themes man. I 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:06.359 mean how many times we've had this conversation over the years, Pauly, Bud, 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.320 you cannot suffer mental airs. You just can't do it. 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:14.200 They will get you beat quicker than anything else. Mental 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.080 errors and the breakdown because it all of a sudden 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.760 when it's not just one play where it happens, but 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:22.679 suddenly when you have a mental error and you have 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.919 a breakdown and there's an explosive play that happens because 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.240 of that, it shakes the confidence of all the guys 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.239 that are in that huddle. It shakes the confidence. And 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.520 you know, honestly, there haven't been a lot of ms 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.919 in the last two games. The first game, I think 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.480 there were some mes, but that seems pretty natural for 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.440 the first game of the season. I don't think we've 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.800 seen an awful lot of mental airs the last two games. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.200 But I will tell you right now that the defensive 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.800 quarterback rating for the Arizona Cardinals is very very good. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.040 It's very very good. It's sixteen. It's right in the 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.840 middle of the past eighty six point seven. Paul. It's 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.240 very good because last year it was number thirty one 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.720 in the National Football League. Wow, Dad, Paul, seriously, defensive 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:14.840 quarterback rating. They were number thirty one, ninety eight point two. 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.760 That's how bad it was. This has improved dramatically right now. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.560 And man, you've got to look squarely at jg and. 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.000 Nick Rowlis, and they've been looking at this Niners offense 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.480 for a long time in a lot of different ways. 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.359 You're talking about a forty nine Ers team that is 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.800 three to zero. They've won their last eight division games, 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:38.520 they've won thirteen regular season games in a row, and 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:43.360 they have what the Cardinals defensive coaches consider well, I'll 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.120 let them say it. When it comes to this Kyle 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.480 Shanahan scheme. Here's Jonathan Gannon this week on offense. 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:53.439 They got guys on in every group that are really 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.480 really good with the ball in their hands. The schematics 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.720 of how they play the game, they get the guys 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.160 the ball in space a lot of the times. Obviously 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.359 the scheme is probably the best in the world. 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:09.040 Truthfully, let that hang for a minute. So and look, 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.600 we know the objective of Kyle Shanahan, right, He's gonna 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.240 disguise everything. Yes, he's gonna keep you honest, as the 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.680 players say, try and ungap your defense. He's gonna play 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.080 with your eyes and then take advantage of that. You're 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.120 looking this way, we're going that way, and they're gonna 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.400 break tackles. And here's my biggest concern about this game 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.159 for the Cardinals defense. Well, the tackling last week at 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:34.200 times against Dallas could have been better, no doubt. And 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.879 the Cardinals right now they've allowed two hundred ninety nine 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.679 yards after first contact according to the analytics, that is 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.760 third most in the league. In a course, yes, of 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.560 course they're missing Buddha bakers, so right there, you better 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.160 bring your tackling against the Niners. 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.919 You better, Pully, it really is. I don't know who 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.160 do you want to talk about first? When you start 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.280 talking about the forty nine ers, you know it's amazing 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:59.119 their Their offense is number three, number three in the 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.760 National Football League in yards per game in yards per play, 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.120 and their defense is number four in yards per game 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.040 and yards per play. Think about that ball, A mean, 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:15.080 that's they're playing at an elite level on offense and defense. 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.960 This is a team that is built on the line 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.480 of scrimmage, and yet they have so much talent, so 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:26.200 much versatile talent, especially when you're talking offensively right now, Paul, 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.800 would it blow your mind to know that twenty one 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:33.119 personnel is the number one personnel group and rundown situation 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.480 for the San Francisco forty nine ers. 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.720 Well, when you have Christian McCaffery and Kyle Uscheck, maybe not. 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.119 I guess forty seven percent of the time they're in 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:45.919 twenty one personnel. By the way, sixty seven percent of 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.679 the time, and rundown they're in a power personnel group 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.800
