Here on the Cardinals 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: Red Sea Report, presented by See Your Ticket to Great 19 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: seats certainly not greats. Overall, this team now three games 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: under five hundred and oh and three within the NFC West. Yes, 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: there is still time, but they are quickly running out 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: of time. Kyle. When you look back at Sunday's game 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: getting swept by the Seahawks, what stood out just the 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: number of mistakes, crucial mistakes in critical moments. So the game, 25 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, it was bad snaps, drops, penalties, mised interceptions, sacks, 26 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: giving up. I mean, one of the biggest things with 27 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: this offense, the way the way teams are playing them 28 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: and making them drive, drive the field and making them 29 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: execute play after play. It's the pre snap penalties that 30 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: get them behind the sticks that are killing drives. You know, 31 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: there's just so many things to clean up, and you know, 32 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: in spite of all of the critical mistakes, this team 33 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: still has opportunities late in the game. So if they 34 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: can clean up. You know, it's impossible to play a 35 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: completely clean football game, but to eliminate a number of 36 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: those mistakes gives this team an opportunity to win. So 37 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: you know, coach Kingsbury alluded to it this week. This 38 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: team plays hard. This team is fighting on the football field, 39 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of not shooting the seals in 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: the foot and really beating themselves because they played a 41 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 1: good football team, a good football team that didn't make 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: the same mistakes they made, and they still had an 43 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: opportunity late in that game, only trailed by three going 44 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter, so they had they were in 45 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: position to tie the game or win the game, and 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals did not again thirty one twenty one. But I 47 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: mentioned the better start drew because for the first time 48 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: this season a first quarter touchdown. They led at the 49 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: end of the first quarter, retook the lead early in 50 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: the third quarter. But it's all that stuff in between, 51 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: the inability of the offense to sustain drives, stay on 52 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: the football field. Yeah, it's the ebbs and flows right, 53 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: and unfortunately when it goes down, it goes down how quickly. 54 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: And this was a team that looks like they were 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: about to turn the corner. That first drive was great. 56 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: You go down and get a touchdown. They are in rhythm, 57 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: They're pushing the envelope tempo wise. That's who Cliff wants 58 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: to be. If you're gonna say anything about this offense, 59 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: if this was they ad any it is a matter 60 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: of getting up there and making the defense uncomfortable, trying 61 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: to execute at a high level, get the ball out quick, 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: get it on the perimeter, do all these things. But 63 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: when it doesn't go well, what's your plan B. And 64 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: that's what we see sometimes when this offense sputters is 65 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: three and out, three and out. Even you know that 66 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: drive they had a two minute drive was great. They 67 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: were going down there, a great effort played by the 68 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: corner to get there and just punch the ball out 69 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: and those are points off the board. I mean, it's 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: a different mindset going into halftime, right that all being said, 71 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: it's weathering these storms. It's taking the good and the 72 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: bad and putting it all together. And we saw a 73 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: football team on the other side of the ball, on 74 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: the other sideline that would adversity hit. They answered the 75 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: bell as soon as that pick six happen, right Gino 76 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: Smith trots back out their thirteen play drive, touchdown again, 77 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: thirteen touchdown, and it just took the air out of 78 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: the stadium. It took the air out of the sidelines 79 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: because you saw a team that, even though they were 80 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: only down ten points, it felt like it was an 81 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: insurmountable lead and that's something that can't happen because every 82 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: week's going to come down to a handful of plays. 83 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: We know that, but every week's also going to come 84 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: down to a one score game. We've had more one 85 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: score games than ever in this league. So you have 86 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: to keep fighting and fighting and fighting, and that's a mentality, 87 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: that's a leadership type of thing that you have to 88 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: be able to take accountability for. And then that's something 89 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: that when you look at the sidelines, you can't be 90 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: able to tell what the score is right now, when 91 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: you look at that sidelines, you can tell if we're up, 92 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: if we're down, if people are you know, not going 93 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: well or selfish or all of these things. That's the 94 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: sign of a football team that's still trying to find 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: our identity part way through the season, and that's usually 96 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: what results as losses. Plenty of blame to go around. 97 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: Head coach Cliff Kingsbury, though said point to blame at him. Yeah, 98 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: it starts with me. There's no doubt. I got to 99 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: find a way to make sure, you know, we're practicing 100 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: at a higher level and then holding ourselves to different 101 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: standards because it's just hasn't been good enough. And when 102 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: you do it against teams like this, they're gonna take 103 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: advantage of it. And they did that today. It's different 104 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: players each week. Penalties, turnovers, dropped passes, dropped interceptions, the 105 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: bad snap. Kyler Murray asked postgame why the same things 106 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: keep happening to this team this year? I don't know, stress, uh, 107 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: you know heat the moment, I don't. I couldn't tell you. 108 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: I just saw stuff that can't happen is happening. Wish 109 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: I had answer for you know what I'm saying. Try, 110 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: it's hard to continue to, you know, put up, push 111 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: ourselves back and try to make up for those yards 112 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: against teams that are just you know, playing Benbodon bridges, 113 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, with third and fifteen, third and sixteen. It's tough. 114 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: We heard a lot of players postgame talk, Kyle talk 115 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: about that this is not happening in practice. The day's 116 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: leading up to game day, and for whatever reason, the 117 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: lights go on and then every thing just kind of 118 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: falls apart and they're not as clean, they're not as efficients, 119 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: whether an offense or defense. So everyone's wondering what's going on. 120 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: Because you're you're more than halfway through this season and 121 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: the goal is still to get to the postseason, even 122 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: though that seems, you know, seems rather far fretched at 123 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, to me, Look, the game is different 124 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: than when even Drew and I played. You you don't 125 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: practice like you used to, but you have to find 126 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: ways to make practice as close to a game type 127 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: situation as possible. Whether you need a play clock out there, 128 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: whether you need to hire some high school reff to 129 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: come in and watch practice. You know, it's it's again 130 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: this team with you take away throughout all the struggles 131 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: through the early part of the season, penalties were not 132 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: an issue. Penalties have really popped up these last two weeks, 133 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: and that's a concern because you take away the presnap 134 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: penalties in this game, and the Cardinals have the ability 135 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: to move the chains, the Cardinals have the ability to 136 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: score more points. It's it's killing their drives. And again, 137 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: the way teams are playing them, you put yourself in 138 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: first and fifteen, you put yourself in second and twelve, 139 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: it's going to become a lot more difficult to move 140 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. You have to execute over 141 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: and over and over. So the only way to you know, 142 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: work on that at practice is to try to create competition, 143 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: try to create a game type environment. You know, I 144 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: realize it's not full pads, it's not banging. You don't 145 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: work on tackling and practice, but you can try to simulate, 146 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, with the play clock, with the referee spot 147 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: in the ball, with a defense coming after you inside, 148 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: and and then you know that will hopefully correlate to 149 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: a much cleaner game. On Sundays, Cardinals finished with a 150 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: season low two hundred and sixty two yards of total offense. 151 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: There was a point there in the second quarter. Again 152 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: still a relatively close game, only down three at that point, 153 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: ten to seven. But hey, coach Cliff Kingsbury got the 154 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: entire offense together on the sideline post game. He was 155 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: asked about it, just talking through Hey, I like, what 156 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: you know we're seeing out there. We have things that 157 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: we can do. We just got to stop hurting ourselves. 158 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: That was one of the message. Those things were showing 159 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: up early, and I felt like we could move the 160 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: ball and sustained drives if we just cleaned some of 161 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: that stuff up. Unfortunately, you know, weren't able to do that. 162 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: You look at that first drive drew eighty three yards, 163 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: the next seven drives totaled seventy three yards, and sixty 164 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: six were on the drive right before halftime. It's just 165 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: when you put this team in difficult situations behind the 166 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: sticks or third and long, and as I mentioned post 167 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: game on Sunday, fourteen third down attempts six or at 168 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: least third and eight or more. Yeah, I mean, it's 169 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: difficult to be able to overcome that. And that's what 170 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: I've talked about before is situational football is impairative at 171 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: this level, and it starts and stops with understanding that. 172 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: It starts and stops with understanding the situation that you're in. 173 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean to even take that a step further than 174 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: yards you're talking about, right, they were under two hundred 175 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: total yards until the fourth quarter when they went and 176 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: scored that touchdown around midfield or wherever they had the ball, right, 177 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: It just it was a lull of a game for 178 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: the offense, but they were still in it right where 179 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: they were still had an opportunity because the defense was 180 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: the defense was dog tired, Right, You've got to find 181 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: ways to make a play when you need to. They 182 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: were just out there for so long, So it's hard 183 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: when you put the defense at that kind of a tilt. 184 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: It's saying that right why they were doing so well 185 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: in the past. This defense has become a right spot 186 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: for this team until as of late now, they've given 187 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: up over thirty points in the last three games with 188 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: an offense that's not scoring. So again, it's situational football. 189 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: It's understanding that and it's one guy at a time, 190 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: one of eleven that's not doing their job right. It's 191 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: a snap over the head here, it's a false start there. 192 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: Somebody needs to not be okay with making these mistakes. 193 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: Allowed message needs to be sent by the leaders on 194 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: this offense, by the leaders on this team that if 195 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: you're going to make these mistakes and consistently make the 196 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: same mistakes, I'd rather play with somebody else, a lesser 197 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: talent that I can rely on, because all it comes 198 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: down to is trusting the guy next to you with 199 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: this sport. And if you can't trust the guy to 200 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: go out and do his job, then you're not going 201 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: to be able to do at the highest level. And 202 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: this offense has shown at times when they are on 203 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: the same page, they can be fantastic. They can do 204 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: all these things. DeAndre Hopkins is as good as anybody 205 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: in this league. And when he came back, he was 206 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: an unbelievable shot in the arm with a number of 207 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: targets he was getting. And then he disappeared after the 208 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 1: first drive. Yeah, he was only targeted, to believe, a 209 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: couple of times after that first drive. The defense, though, Kyle, again, 210 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: you had the opportunity late in the game to get 211 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: off the field, give your opportunity to the offense another time. Yeah, 212 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: you're asked to be on that field a lot. I 213 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: believe the time of possession was plus nine in favor 214 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: of the Seahawks. But that's the job of the defense. 215 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: That's what they said post game. Hey, ever, many times 216 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: we're asked to stop at an opponent. We got to 217 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: stop him, and they didn't those final three drives. Yeah, 218 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: to me, you know what the defense is missing right 219 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: now is finding that consistent pass rusher that's getting back 220 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: there and getting that consistent heat. You know, JJ Watt 221 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: has been good the last few weeks. Outside of him, 222 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, they're just not getting consistent pressure, and that's 223 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: what you need. I mean, you know, that's why cornerbacks 224 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: and pass rushers are paid the way they're paid in 225 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: this league. Is getting off the field on third down. 226 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: And when a team is consistently converting in third down, 227 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's a problem, and it's it's 228 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: this defense when it needed to couldn't get that big 229 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: stop on third down. And again, you know, a lot 230 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: like against the Minnesota Vikings, a lot of the issues 231 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: are the first and second down defense, with Seattle having 232 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: success Kenneth Walker the third being able to move the 233 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: ball on the ground. They were in third manageable for 234 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: a good part of that game, and it allowed the 235 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: Seahawks to convert and the Cardinals couldn't get off the field. 236 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: Seahawks converted their last seven third down attempts. There was 237 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: not even a third down. They didn't get to third 238 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: down on that final scoring drive and with Kenneth Walker 239 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: scored from five yards out to make it thirty one 240 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: twenty one, which turned out to be the final score, 241 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals lose. They are three and six on the season. 242 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: Hey Episode forty nine of the Day Pash Podcast featuring 243 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: legendary broadcaster Jim Nance, will premiere this week.

Good starts but did not score until the 252 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. What happens in between? This is the Arizona 253 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals radio network. This is gonna be a pass play. 254 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Murray setting up now he's in trouble backing up Rost 255 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: complete near side the Hopkins up the fis turn right 256 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: ten five in the tip of the touchsdown Grant patient 257 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: by Kyler Murray with pressure in his face. He waited 258 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: follow DeAndre hop who did the rest, and the Cardinals 259 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: getting a first quarter touchdown for the first time in 260 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: a long time. This house is clean. Oh my goodness. 261 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks played as Ron Karlin Murray saw it. 262 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: Put it on te Hobbin Nuke notes what to do 263 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: in that case? Touchdown opening drive, opening offensive drive for 264 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Nine plays, eighty three yards and on 265 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: third and two, DeAndre Hopkins coming across the middle, catches 266 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: the ball, takes it the rest of the way for 267 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: the twenty two yard catch and run for the score. 268 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: And at that point the Cardinals had a lead seven 269 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: to three, was six seventeen to go in the first quarter. 270 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: The offense, however, would not score again until the three 271 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: and a half mark of the fourth quarter. And by 272 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: the way, Dre I did look it up, So we 273 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: are official here on the Cardinals Red seat report presented 274 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: by a SIKATR ticket to Great Seats. DeAndre Hopkins was 275 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: targeted only three times after the first drive, so he 276 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: disappeared to your point, why does that happen when the 277 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: previous two games he had been targeted at least ten times. Yeah, 278 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: I mean obviously he was targeted on the touchdown with 279 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: the false start, which would have been really nice too. 280 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: So I mean that's taken the consideration. Again, that's a 281 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: guy that you should have a special category on your 282 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: call sheet of saying, how can I get the ball 283 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: in this guy's hands? How can I do it? And again, 284 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: I think Cliff does a tremendous job with his opening script. 285 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: If you look at what they did, they try to 286 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: get everybody inserted into the game. They try to show 287 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: different looks and different formations. They showed some new wrinkles. 288 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: They're setting stuff up, They're being able to do that. 289 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: Having James connorback was huge, I think just for the 290 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: psyche of that offense, for the mentality of how they 291 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: go about it, being able to utilize those weapons. Do 292 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: you want to try and make sure everybody touches the 293 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: football in that first drive? They did a great job 294 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: on third down of being able to sustain drives even 295 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: that third down touchdown, right, they try to run a 296 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: matchup zone. They get the ball running in DeAndre Hopkins 297 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: hands and he does the rest. And the playmakers and 298 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: the individual talent on this offense are disputable. Right that. 299 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: You see what they have on paper, and it's tremendous. 300 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: How it all fits together is still a little bit 301 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: of a work in progress for a multitude of reasons. 302 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: Part of that is you were at Deandres without DeAndre 303 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: for six weeks, and how he fits back into the 304 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: mold on that kind of an absence. I mean, that's 305 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: an eternity in an NFL season. Six weeks. I mean, 306 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: this is a week to week business, and when you 307 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: don't have somebody like that. You're trying to find ways, 308 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: and again it is this cat and mouse game because 309 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: teams are playing software, they're doing all of these things. 310 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: You've got to manufacture ways to get the ball in 311 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: his hands, getting the ball in Rondel Moore's hands when 312 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: he's running, Zach Ertz, James Connor, all of these guys 313 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: have to be able to be getting you know, five 314 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: plus touches for shirt and targets and all these things. 315 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: So it's a concerted effort to make sure that they're involved. 316 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: That opening drive nine plays, there are four first downs, 317 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: but then the next three offensive possessions, no drive longer 318 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: than five yards and only one total first down over 319 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: those next three possessions. That's the inconsistency here, Kyle, of 320 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: this offense. Because as much as we've been talking about 321 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: the inability to score touchdown in the first quarter, that's 322 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: now wiped away. But you gotta be able to build 323 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: upon that, and they were not able to do that 324 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Yeah, it seems like they're unable to capitalize 325 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: on momentum, you know, a big play on offense and 326 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: then and then the defense gives up one or a 327 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: defense scores a touchdown and then the offense can't capitalize 328 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: on that. It's it's it's you know what you want 329 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: to avoid when you're going through struggles, when you have 330 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: mistakes that keep popping up, you want to avoid that 331 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: here we go again moment. And it came pretty early 332 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: when Billy Price snapped that ball over Kyler's head. It 333 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: just felt like, here we go again. You know. It 334 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: was the team was off to a fast start, offense 335 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: was playing well, defense was playing well, and then boom, 336 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: it felt like we're going to fall back into this 337 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: trap of of shooting ourselves in the foot. And sure 338 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: enough that that's what came to be true. And in 339 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: those moments, what you need is you need somebody to 340 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: step up. You need your your key players, your leaders, 341 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: your playmakers, your DeAndre Hopkins. I mean, to me, that's 342 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: the biggest mystery of this game is why he disappeared 343 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 1: and why he wasn't target I mean, he is your 344 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: cheat code. He is your um in case of emergency 345 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: breake glass Like we can't get anything going on offense, 346 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: just throw it to d hop he will. You know, 347 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: I heard it talked about this week, but you know, 348 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: when the offense struggled in the past when Larry Fitzgerald 349 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: was here. You just throw him a you know, a 350 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: five yard pass and the crowd goes wild. If you 351 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: can get the ball in DeAndre Hopkins hands, get the 352 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: crowd back into it, get your sidelines back fired up. 353 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: You know that To me, that could have been the 354 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: key to get the offense going again. Hopkins said, two 355 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: catches on that first drop of that and that's and 356 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: wonder if that now becomes d hop you just even 357 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: if it's a quick short pass to get everyone involved. 358 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: I would like to see that a little bit more 359 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: because I don't know if that doesn't have the same 360 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: the same chance, but it would have the same maybe 361 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: sense within the building and on the sideline, Hey we're 362 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: rolling again, DeAndre Hopkins. Guy's got the football for sure. 363 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: That's why I think that the you know, hopefully on 364 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: Cliff's call sheet, there is that box that says, Okay, 365 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: this is how I know I can put him in 366 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: the slot. I can do this. These are the coverage 367 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: on first and second down. We're anticipated and see third 368 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: downs a crap shoot because you don't really know and 369 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: it's too late at that point. But to Kyle's point 370 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: as well. Right, Like, there was multiple times that if 371 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: just one thing I'd gone a little bit differently because 372 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: they had it wasn't like they were third and unmanageable 373 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: and those drives that they didn't convert. It was third 374 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: and short and they just weren't able to do it. 375 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: One of them was negated because of defensive holding, which 376 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: that was lucky about. DeAndre has to have everything go 377 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: through him. That's just the what is going to happen 378 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: for this team to be able to find a way win. 379 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: Much like this week, right, I would imagine Jalen Ramsey's 380 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: going to go on him because he travels to the slott, 381 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: he does all these things, but he is susceptible and 382 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: he is good enough with a catch radius as big 383 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: as anybody in this league that he can go out 384 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: there and do that. And Kyler's got to be able 385 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: to have him as the primary way more than what 386 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: we saw on that second half, because it is infectious. 387 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: It infuses life into an offense that could just be 388 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,239 Speaker 1: kind of going through the motions. But the same can 389 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: be said with the other playmakers. I think that when 390 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: this offense is at its best, they're pushing the envelope. 391 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: They're pushing the tempo up and down the field, and 392 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: it's just hard to do when you continually go three 393 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: and out and can't really establish the solid run game either. Again, 394 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: a great start that opening drive, but then there was 395 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: nothing on offense until late in the fourth quarter. Kyler 396 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: Murray on the offensive issues on Sunday. For sure, I was, 397 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: you know, easy all the time on schedule. Obviously, you know, 398 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: I had to make a couple of plays, you know, 399 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: with their d line being pretty good, escape and use 400 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: my legs. But you know, ended up in the end, Zoe, 401 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: I'm in that second drive, third and one, you know, 402 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: and kind of the story of the day. I feel 403 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: like it was just, you know, I couldn't I couldn't 404 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: give you the answer for what, why or what We 405 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: just you know, kep kept shooting ourselves in the foot. 406 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: Gotta be able to secure secure the football on that fumble, 407 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: because yeah, you were in the position at worst to 408 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: kick a field goal and tie the game up going 409 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: into halftime. Doesn't happen that way. And then you come 410 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: out of the locker room with back to back three 411 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: and outs for your offense. Head coach Cliff Kingsbury on 412 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: what happened on the offense. It was good to see 413 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: Kyler made a nice play with his legs. I'm turned 414 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: down and then obviously how did a good job finishing 415 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: that one off. But after that just you know, disjointed. 416 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: The penalties, you know, the fumble, a couple of big 417 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: drops and we just the little things continue to kill us, 418 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: and we got to put that together. The penalties, we 419 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: talked about it eight pre snap penalties. There were five 420 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: full false start penalties, Kyle, and you're playing at home, 421 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: but there were five on Sunday. Yeah, those aren't little things. 422 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: I mean again, when you are going with tempo and 423 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: you're trying to move the ball, penalties kill that. It 424 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: kills your momentum, It kills you catching the defense by prize, 425 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: it kills you preventing them from substituting. And when a team, 426 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, when a team is trying to 427 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: keep everything in front, defense is trying to keep everything 428 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: in front, trying to make you dink and dunk your 429 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: way down the field. That's what you have to do. 430 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: You have to be able to execute, You have to 431 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: be able to convert, you know, short passes, short third downs. 432 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: You have to be able to run the ball and 433 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: get those safeties to creep up. I mean, if you 434 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: can put together this team has shown early in the season, 435 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: there's so many times they put together at twelve, fourteen, 436 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: fifteen play drives and look, I know that at some 437 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: point if you can do that throughout the course of 438 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: a half, if you can do that two or three 439 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: straight series, they're gonna have to play their defense differently. 440 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play you more, honestly, if you're 441 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: able to execute over and over and over again. And 442 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: that's been the achilles heel of this team, where they 443 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: are able to execute for a short period of time. 444 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're able to put a couple of first downs together, 445 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: and then you know, those mistakes and for whatever reason, 446 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: these penalties are new things, and it's got to be 447 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: cleaned up because if this team is going to be efficient, 448 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: if this team is going to put drives together and 449 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: move the ball down the field, they can't make those 450 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: mistakes that put them behind the sticks and make it 451 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: much more difficult to continue to convert third downs and 452 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: get the chains moving. Defense called for three pre snap penalties, 453 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: so it wasn't all on the offense. But twelve, that's 454 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: a number where we have not seen a lot of 455 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: It was actually tied what happened in Las Vegas against 456 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: the Raiders. So a season high time twelve penalties, And 457 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: it's not always the number, Drew I always say, sometimes 458 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: it's what kind of penalty? When did the penalties occur? 459 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Because a first and ten becomes a first and fifteen 460 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: or a third and two, there's a penalty, and all 461 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's an automatic first down for your opponent. 462 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: Those are the penalties that are glaring. But there were 463 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: too many of those twelve penalties that were glaring to me. Yeah, 464 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think that Cliff and Kyler say 465 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: all the right things to the media, hopefully behind closed 466 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: doors there's some serious conversation being had, because I think 467 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: it's great right everybody knows that snap went over their 468 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: head in a critical moment on third and one. But 469 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: if you're going to let that be okay to try 470 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: and do somebody, it's got to Hopefully it's uncomfortable in 471 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: that locker room right now, because, as you alluded to, 472 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: twelve penalties, you're beating yourself. It's hard enough to go 473 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: out and beat a good football team. But when you 474 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: beat yourself and put yourself behind the eight ball, you're 475 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: not going to have any chance of coming back or 476 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: trying to stay you neck and neck with somebody like that. 477 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: And you have to be able to assess all of 478 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: these things. It's not physical, right, It's hard enough. Our 479 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: physical mistakes are going to happen throughout the course of 480 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: this league and any game. There's going to be physical 481 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: things that just don't go your way. You make the play, 482 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: and sometimes it's extraordinary. Other things physical components are going 483 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: to happen. Mental things cannot happen. To beat yourself, mental 484 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: situations and lapses like that. Once you do it, you 485 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: know once or twice or three times, you shouldn't be 486 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: on the field at this level at home. It's inexcusable 487 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: to be able to accept something like that because that's 488 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: a direct reflection of why this team is not winning. 489 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: Heights of the twelve penalties again pre snap here, said 490 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury. No, not against that team. We knew 491 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: what they do. You get a second long, they're gonna 492 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: be in the too high shell and make you check 493 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: it down underneath and keep things in front of them. 494 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: And with those interior pieces down, you know, the run 495 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: game was a little tough, but we got to find 496 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: a way to stay on the field. We're back to 497 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: back fall star penalties by Cody Ford and Lucida Smith 498 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: and Kyle Again. That just kind of sucks the life 499 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: out of everyone in the stadium. The roof was opened 500 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: and so there's somewhere for that noise and air to 501 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: go and it went right up the top and it 502 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: just it gets you get that feeling once again. It's like, 503 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, here we go again, and you're in 504 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: this is the second quarter of when those back to 505 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: back fall star penalties. You're only down three, right, But 506 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: when it happens, when you're on a football field and 507 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: those mistakes happen and you get that here we go 508 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: again feeling, it feels like you can't overcome it. And 509 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: again all it took was a big play. All it 510 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: took was putting a drive together. All it took was 511 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, the Zaven Collins interception. It felt like watching 512 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: that game, it felt like this was the moment. It 513 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: felt like New Orleans again. It felt like here was 514 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: the play we needed, this was our spring board. Hopefully 515 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: the offense can come out now, get us some points, 516 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: a defense get a couple stops, and it was, you know, 517 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: it was the opposite. The offense didn't you know, did 518 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: get a score, but the defense couldn't get any stops 519 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: after that. And and like you talked about, it's not 520 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: just the penalties, it's when they happen, it's the mistakes 521 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: when they're happening. Seemed to come at all of the 522 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: worst times, and it seems deflating. I mean, I know, 523 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: you know, we can't really get a feel for what's 524 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: going on on that sideline, what's going on when Cliff 525 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: Kingsbury brings the entire offense together. But it feels like 526 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: some of those mistakes are just too difficult to overcome, 527 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: and it just sucks the life out of that sideline. 528 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: Pre snap penalty, the snap over the head of Kyler Murray, 529 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: which perhaps who knows, on that second possession on third 530 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: and one, maybe that drive you take it down field, 531 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: maybe maybe not. And then of course the fumble, greats 532 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: play by Kyler Murray to avoid the sack, get the 533 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: first down on fourth and fourth, yet once again running 534 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: an open field and is not securing the football and 535 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: it gets punched out from behind, and again you go 536 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: into the locker room with your heads down as opposed 537 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: to perhaps feeling good about yourself going into the second half. 538 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: We have hit halftime here on the Cardinals Red Seat 539 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: Report presented by Seat Get your Ticket to Great Seats. 540 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: As we continue breaking down what happened in Week nine 541 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals loss of the Seahawks will touch on 542 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: the defense, the good and the bad on that side 543 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: of the ball. We do it every Tuesday eleven AM 544 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: Craig Rayelu, Drew Stanton and Calvin Abosch Here on the 545 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Geno Smith and the pistol behind 546 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: him as Kenneth Walker snapped the Smith He's gonna throw 547 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: and try to talk about it. Picked up of the 548 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: thirty on your tip and down running it back fund 549 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: of the twenty times. Tuck that off Saban Collins, great awareness. 550 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: That was a checkdown of the rights and Saban Collins 551 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: read it. He picked it off and then he returned 552 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: it to get the Cardinals to lead thirteen to ten. 553 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: Saban with a wood what I found pick and then 554 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: shows off that speed that is a big man running 555 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: taking it all the way back for a pick six Paby, 556 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: and you thought perhaps one of those game changing plays. 557 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: It was a game changing play in the fact that 558 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: it changed the score, putting the Cardinals in front fourteen 559 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: to ten. Unfortunately, it did not change the outcome. Cardinals 560 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: go on to lose thirty one twenty one, falling to 561 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: three and six. As we walk me back here to 562 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented by Seat Get Your 563 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: Ticket to Great Seats rayel Le, Drew Stanton, and kylev Intebosch. 564 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: And that Zaven Collins pick six the fifth defensive or 565 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: special teams touchdown this season, most in the NFL. And 566 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: Zaven looked like Kyle a little bit on that play, 567 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: showing the athleticism stepping in front of the passing lane, 568 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: making sure the ball was secured, and then running thirty yards. 569 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: No one was going to catch him. How many career 570 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: touchdowns he get one? But which Kyle? We're talking about this? 571 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: It's not me obviously. Now, it was a great play. 572 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: You know he each week, well you know, he's been 573 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: playing solid football now for four or five weeks straight. 574 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: And you know, quite honestly, between he and Isaiah Simmons, 575 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: they continually show up and make big plays for this defense, 576 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: and I mean they have two sacks each and they've 577 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: become a part of the pass rush as well, both 578 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: showing the ability to get to the quarterback. So you know, 579 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: it's just been this type of stretch where it feels 580 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: like the defense is the side of the ball that 581 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: not only needs to get stops, but needs to make 582 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: game changing type plays. And when you know, when you 583 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: could put the ball in the end zone and you're 584 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: on defense, it's such a huge momentum swing for your team. 585 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: It was just unfortunate again that the Cardinals were not 586 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: able to capitalize on that play. Marco Wilson, Isaiah Simmons 587 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: also with pick sixes Byra Murphy, a fumble return for 588 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: a score, and then Chris Banjo with the special teams 589 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: recovering the fumble and the end zone. Five total touchdowns 590 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: on the defense and or special teams. David Collins, let's 591 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: hear from him on his pick six, it was just 592 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: in a type of pressure and read it. I saw 593 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: the backflare and figured he was gonna try an next 594 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: to him, it'scause we got a zone behind it. And 595 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: then I saw him flinch that way and I just 596 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: jumped and got my hands on the ball, and that 597 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: drew was the last mistake Geno Smith would make for 598 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: the game, because after that play he comes back out 599 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: of the field orchestrates a thirteen play scoring drive, then 600 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: other thirteen play scoring drive, and then a five play 601 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: scoring drive. He was ten of twelve for one hundred 602 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: and thirty eight yards in a touchdown after the pick six. Yeah, 603 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's very impressive to be able to have 604 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: that kind of resiliency and then come out, But it 605 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: also matches up with who they are, right, It matches 606 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: up with the identity of that team. They established the run. 607 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker looked great. They had a great call in 608 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: their four minute offense to come out with a little 609 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: play action knowing that you're probably gonna get run blitz 610 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: and then you know, they flipped the entire field by 611 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: having no offense go off. However many yards it was, 612 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: and they ended up on the thirty yard line. Kenneth 613 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: Walker does a nice job of dancing around. Again, there 614 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: was another self inflicted women there of a defensive offside, 615 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,239 Speaker 1: So you've got to be able to do that. And 616 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: this is an offense. This is a culture that exists 617 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: right now in Seattle that when they when something bad happens, 618 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: they don't blink, and there's something to be said knowing 619 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: you're going up against that kind of an opponent, you 620 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: can't give them anything. Tremendous play by Zavan Collins talked 621 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: about it before too. Antonio Hamilton was close to doing 622 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: the exact same thing right before halftime. Right, I mean 623 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: these gameplay, these game changing type plays that we're seeing 624 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: from this defense weekend and week got to have five 625 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: scores at this point is very impressive. The thing that 626 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 1: is becoming more of an issue though, right is you 627 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: see these teams that are good with veteran quarterbacks, they're 628 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: converting on third down in the red zone, right A 629 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,479 Speaker 1: red zone has been Red zone defense has become an 630 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: issue as of late. When you have, you know, the 631 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: last three games, when you're giving up over thirty points 632 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: a game, it's really hard. When they weren't they were 633 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: a fishing in the red zone. They were doing a 634 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: great job on third down. The last two weeks is 635 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: at nine for nine touchdowns when they entered the red zone. 636 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: That's a hard thing to be able to overcome, to 637 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: be able to do that, and when you do pressure. 638 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: When you try and put pressure on the quarterback, you've 639 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: got to make sure you get home because if you don't, 640 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in this league will pick you apart. And 641 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: that's what we've seen unfortunately the last couple of weeks, 642 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals defensively struggling in the red zone, struggling on third 643 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: down as well getting opponents off the field. Is again 644 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen on third down, where the Seahawks, including 645 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: converting their last seven. Here's Kingsbury on why the defense struggled. Yeah, 646 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: I think they just got worn down. I thought they 647 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: played hard, played tough. Zaven obviously had a great play 648 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: on the interception, and they're on the field too much. 649 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: We put them in tough situation offensively, a bunch of 650 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: three and outs, and we got to be better than that. 651 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,719 Speaker 1: Cardinals defense on the field for nine more minutes than 652 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: their counterparts with Seattle, and as we touched on nine 653 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: for nine in the red zone our opponents the last 654 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: two weeks. Something also that garnered the attention of the 655 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: head coach. We got to get better in that area. 656 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: There's no question that's a big part of this league. 657 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: When you look weekend and week out at that stat 658 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: it's a big contribution if you win the game or not. 659 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: We've heard advanced Joseph talk a lot Kyle about red 660 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: zone defense, third down defense. Yes, there were four hundred 661 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: and twenty one total yards allowed, but going from the 662 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty defensive coordinators are okay with that. It's 663 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: what you do those last twenty yards and the last 664 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: two weeks defensive League Cardinals have not been able to 665 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: stop anybody. Yeah, it's the story of most games is 666 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: how you play on third down, both offensively and defensively, 667 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: and what you can do in the red zone. And 668 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: you know, Drew talked about how you know quarterbacks are 669 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: do a good job executing in the red zone these 670 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: last two weeks. But to me, the biggest concern is 671 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: is the run game in the red zone. You know, 672 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to stop the run when 673 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: it gets down close. And you know, going back to 674 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: the Vikings game again, Dalvin Cook ran one right up 675 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: the middle, Alexander Madison ran one right up the middle, 676 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,479 Speaker 1: and then Kenneth Walker the third with the way he 677 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: runs in his physical style was a problem for the 678 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals when the ball got down there, he ran through tackles, 679 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: and really just kept his legs churning and was able 680 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: to get into the end zone. So you know, four 681 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: of those nine red zone drives that were touchdowns. We're 682 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: running the football and that's a problem. And it's again 683 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: something that has been an issue as of late, even 684 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: going back to the Saints game. Alvin Kamara came out 685 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: and ran the ball well early. They had to get 686 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: away from it later in the game. And then this 687 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: defense has struggled the last two weeks stopping the run consistently, 688 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: and particularly down in the red zone. If you can't 689 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: stop the run, that's gonna be a problem. Walker a 690 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: one yard run, a five yard run and where did 691 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: he go to school? Drew Michigan State. That's why I 692 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: just want to make sure you get that in there. 693 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: Eleven carries for sixty two yards and two touchdowns in 694 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter for Walker, who finished with one hundred 695 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: and nine yards on the ground. The defense overall, yeah, 696 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: some good, but mostly bad there in the final fifteen minutes. 697 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: Zaven Collins on his message about the defense, Hey, we 698 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: just gotta keep say together, keep our heads up and 699 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: just keep flying the footballs of defense and you know, 700 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: get better in practice and you know, keep competing with 701 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: each other. We're here once again, get better in practice, 702 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: but it's making sure that fingers don't get pointed one 703 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: direction or the other. The offense, the defense, defense, the offense. 704 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: We saw some of that with the Rams this past 705 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: week in Tampa Bay. You don't want that to get 706 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: into the locker room, do you, Drew? No, it's hard. 707 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to find that balance, right, But 708 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: I would also say some of this young talent that 709 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: is performing, they need to step up and be vocal. Right, 710 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: just because you're a rookie or you're a second yer 711 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: guy does not mean that you can't be a leader. Right. 712 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: The best teams I've been on, they almost had a 713 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: veteran presence or a leader within that position group. Right 714 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: right now, those guys need to step up and the 715 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 1: onus has to be on them within their specific position 716 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: group of saying this is not okay, this is not 717 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: tolerated anymore, and then that will lead to a better 718 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: hole on defense, a better hole on offense of what's 719 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: going on. And like I said, it's what happens sometimes 720 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: when you're not prepared or you feel like you're not 721 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: doing this, you can't hold somebody else accountable. All of 722 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: these guys that are making plays, that are doing these things, 723 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: they need to step up because the nucleus is there. 724 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: The nucleus has been there. It's just a matter of 725 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: converting what you take from the practice field and putting 726 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: that on Sundays. And there's many reasons why that might 727 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: not be happening, but that is an individual basis of 728 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: what you can do on a week to week basis 729 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: for yourself to put yourself in a position to win 730 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: and the team in the best light. One of those 731 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: veterans in the locker room might not be available this week, 732 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 1: at least according to Ian Rapp Report of the NFL Network. 733 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: For a Baker a high ankle's praying he's expected to 734 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: be out two to three weeks. And again going into 735 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: the Rams this week, you want to make sure you 736 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: have all your pieces available, and that is a gigantic 737 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: piece that now does not seem likely that he will 738 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: be on the field this Sunday. We will touch on 739 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and Rams coming up on Sunday Week ten. 740 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: As we continue here on the Cardinals, read report presented 741 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: by Sege Your Ticket too Great Seats A reminder Arizona Cardinals. 742 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 1: Single game tickets are available now god Asy cardinals dot 743 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: com slash tickets for more information. Cardinals lost of the 744 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: Rams earlier this season. This is game two of a 745 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: three game stretch within the NFC West. Cardinals cannot afford 746 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: to drop to oz and four within the division. This 747 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: is the Arizona Cardinals Radio network takes the snap. Another 748 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: play faked and asked to step up in the pocket, 749 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: looking deep, fires left side open. It's John Brown, tipstone, 750 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: Arizona takes a man, but a grandmother rock. If you 751 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 1: get a mess with the bird, you're gonna get the beach. 752 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: Drew Stand with a perfect row right over the top. 753 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: I gotta go on the way back machine all the 754 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: way at a twenty fourteen John Brown forty eight yard 755 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: touchdown catch shop the right arm of one. Drew Stand. 756 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: Remember everything about that play? No, I remember the police 757 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: escort afterwards because I thought my wife was going into labor. 758 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: So that's what I remember about that game. On top 759 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: of twenty fourteen, it's almost a decade ago. It makes 760 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: you feel old. Then I realized Kyle's holder than me, 761 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: so I still feel better about myself. I did not 762 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: know that story about the police escort. Maybe we haven't 763 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: need another folk Tales episode. We already stretched one folk tale. 764 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: Let don't do another. Don't you always get a police 765 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: ask score? Well, that just depends. Yeah, usually to the game, 766 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: not after. It's actually one of the few times the 767 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals beat the then Saint Louis Rams. It has 768 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: been a while Cardinals have lost eleven of twelve to 769 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: the Rams, all since Sean McVay was hired in twenty seventeen. 770 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: And once you know what the Cardinals play at the 771 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: Rams this Sunday to twenty five is the kickoff nine 772 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 1: thirty am. Pregame coverage begins and when you look at 773 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: the Rams, Kyle, it's always that defense A number ninety 774 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: nine Aaron Donald, even more so this week considering the 775 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals aren't quite sure who might the starting center bee 776 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,479 Speaker 1: or who the starting right guard might be. Yeah, it's tough. 777 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: It's a it's a tough week to be to have 778 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: injuries inside, to be shuffling players around in a look. 779 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: In spite of the Rams struggles, Aaron Donald is still 780 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. He's got five sacks on the season, shows 781 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: up play after play consistently dominates regardless of who he's 782 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 1: lined up against. Has had a lot of success against 783 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, especially recently, so you know they're gonna have 784 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: to have a game plan for dealing with him. You 785 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: know in the past, you know, going back to the 786 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: first matchup last year when the Cardinals won, they ran 787 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: it right at him. They tried to take it to him, 788 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: tried to wear him out. You know that that might 789 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: be a little bit more difficult when you're dealing with 790 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: injuries on the interior of your offensive line. The updates 791 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: as far as center and right guard, Rodney Hudson not 792 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: expected to play, Billy Price likely your center again, this 793 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 1: is all from head coach Cliff Kingsbury earlier in the week. Well, 794 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: Hernandez will not play this week, and the question is 795 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: who will be the right guard, perhaps Lucida Smith. They 796 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: want to keep Sean Harlowe at the center spot. And 797 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: again another offensive line combination. This will be the seventh 798 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 1: and fourth in as many weeks. Here's the head coach 799 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: on dealing what they depleted. Oh line, Yeah, that's tough, 800 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 1: but we got to find a way to be better 801 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: on sustained drives. We continued to have the self inflicted 802 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: stuff that we can't have against a good team and 803 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: put us in those second or long, third and long 804 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: situations which against that defense in that front, you can't 805 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: live like that. And again with Aaron Donald Drew, it's 806 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,919 Speaker 1: always that interior pressure that seems to bother Kyler Murray 807 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 1: the most and one of the best interior defensive lineman 808 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: in the game period is number ninety nine Cardinals had 809 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: a hit or miss as far as being able to 810 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 1: contain him throughout his career. Yeah, I mean, look, sometimes 811 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 1: it's the veteran guys that get more nervous because they've 812 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: seen him and seen that. Okay, I like las see 813 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: the Smith. I'd love to see him line up and 814 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 1: go right like with a mindset that he's going to 815 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: have of going out there. And you've heard how he 816 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: likes to play the game even in training camp, right 817 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: Like there's a nastiness to him, like Will Hernandez that 818 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: you just love to see it. And as a quarterback, 819 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: from my perspective, I'd be going there and try and 820 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,439 Speaker 1: instill as much confidence impossible. If something happens, if something 821 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: goes on, go to the next play it, just keep 822 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: playing the next play and that's really the message of 823 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: this team of like, Okay, if we get behind the 824 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 1: ap off, something goes wrong and we get off schedule, 825 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: let's try to get back on schedule, but let's do 826 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: it at a detriment to ourselves for this team, and 827 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,919 Speaker 1: where it can really become a small mistake that leads 828 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: into a bigger mistake. And that's what this team really 829 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: needs to find a way to do is nip something 830 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,800 Speaker 1: in the butt before it all of a sudden starts spiraling. 831 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: And I think that again is going to be the 832 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: leadership on offense to be able to do that. It's 833 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: a collective effort, but the offensive line is what it is. 834 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 1: You know what. Everybody is sitting there saying, how can 835 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: you stop Aaron Donald. I love the idea of running 836 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: right at him, trying to wear him down, get bodies 837 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 1: on him, lean on him, and do all this. But 838 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: at the same time, we've also seen this defense give 839 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: up big plays, they've had miscommunication, they've been able to 840 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: be more susceptible even you know, Jalen Ramsey as good 841 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: and as athletic as he is, They've got to be 842 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,439 Speaker 1: able to communicate as well. Because that crowd noise that's 843 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: going to exist. You know, in so far that's also 844 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: the defense that they have to handle being able to 845 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: do that. So this is not the Super Bowl team 846 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 1: with everything swinging in their momentum that we've seen in 847 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,919 Speaker 1: the past. They have their own issues on the offensive line. 848 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: It's going to be another again, another game of can 849 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: you as dablish the run. Everything in any NFL offense 850 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: always starts with the run and getting James connerback, hopefully 851 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: a larger workload, and you know, Benjamin's done a great job, 852 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: but getting just the presence of James Conner on the 853 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,399 Speaker 1: field I think is a huge asset for everybody else 854 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: because he is that leader that you need. Rams have 855 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,439 Speaker 1: been good against the run, fourth in yards per game, 856 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,479 Speaker 1: fifth in yards per play. But again it comes back 857 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 1: to can you run behind this offensive line and whatever 858 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: iteration it's going to be. Injury is a part of 859 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: the game, and for head coach Cliff Kingsbury, you just 860 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: have to adjust. It's something everybody deals with in the NFL, 861 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 1: and so you got to be able to adjust and 862 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: adapt and hold the standard high and make sure whoever 863 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: steps in there as accountable and can get it done. 864 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: And as coaches we get to do a better job 865 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: making sure those guys are ready to go and can 866 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: function at a high level. And you know, it's a 867 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: group effort. Cardinals have lost four of five. Rams have 868 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: lost four of five since beating the Cardinals in Week 869 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: three twenty to twelve. Rams coming off a loss at 870 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay sixteen to thirteen. Again, this is not the 871 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: same team that won the Super Bowl a year ago, Kyle. 872 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: It's an offense that did not look great eight three 873 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,240 Speaker 1: and outs last week against the Buccaneers, and then offense 874 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: that is a outside of Cooper Cup, trying to redefine themselves. Yeah, 875 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: they've got like you guys already talked about, they've got 876 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,479 Speaker 1: their own problems. They're having difficult time running the ball. 877 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: You know, last week they had a bunch of drops 878 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: on offense that they are looking for an identity as well, 879 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: which is, you know, kind of absurd when you try 880 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: to run it back with a lot of the same players. 881 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, outside of like you said, Cooper Cup, 882 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: they just really can't get much going, not much continuity. 883 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: They're dealing with their own injuries, like Drew talked about. 884 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: And you know, one thing you can feel good about is. 885 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: You know, in spite of even the defenses problems against 886 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, they held their two premier receivers. While they 887 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: both had touchdowns, they only had five catches each. And 888 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: it's a consistent theme. Consistently this team is taking the 889 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: number one receivers out of games. Going back to the 890 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: last time they played, they held Cooper Cup to four catches, 891 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,879 Speaker 1: which nobody seems to be able to do. So if 892 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,280 Speaker 1: they can find that formula and limit how effective Cooper 893 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: Cup is in this game, it'll be difficult for the 894 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: Rams to move the ball. Cardinals trailed early in that 895 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: first meeting, they got down thirteen to nothing, did have 896 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity lates in the game to make it a game, 897 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: but in the end on the wrong end of a 898 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: twenty to twelve decision. But now you're looking Drew for 899 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: the split. You're looking to keep your season alive with 900 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: respects to the potential of being a playoff team. Can't 901 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: go to oz and four within your division though, Yeah, 902 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, look, the wild card is going to be 903 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: hard to try and chase your best chances to win 904 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 1: the division, and that's going to be one game at 905 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 1: a time. I know that locker room is not thinking 906 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: about the forty nine ers next week. Their whole effort 907 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: is we just need one more point than the Los 908 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. That's it. Two twenty five is a kickoff 909 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: on Sunday nine thirty am. Pregame coverage begins, and then 910 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: of course we'll talk about it one week from today 911 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,959 Speaker 1: here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report, presented by Seek 912 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: Your Ticket.
