1 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: The defense was good, very good. The offense, yeah, not 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: so much. Welcome Bird Gang.

They pitched the shutout in the second half. 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: The offense, however, no run game, no downfield passing game, 8 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: no sustained drives at Cardinals Cover two, Episode seven ninety eight, 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: and it starts now. 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: Welcome to Cardinals Cover two. 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: Bo to Baker, What Heart? 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 3: What rent? 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: This guy's unbelievable. 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hyundai, proud partner of 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcast.

But it's 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: been a long time, Danny since we've seen one another. 32 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 3: Not really. 33 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm being yeah tongue cheek here. 34 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 3: Not really crag. Spend most of my Sundays with you. 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: Actually that was a sigh there. 36 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 3: I didn't appreciate that. 37 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: That was kind of like back with you again. 38 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: No, we have lots of fun in the radio booths, 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: sit next to each other in the press box. 40 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: Yes, not so much fun. What we watched on Sunday 41 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: twenty to thirteen, the Cardinals lose the Detroit Lions at 42 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: State Farm Stadium. Cardinals now one and two on the season. 43 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: There was some good And I think how about we 44 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: start with that on a Monday morning, because the big 45 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: question all off season was the defense. Could they hang 46 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: with teams for the offense to score enough points to 47 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: win ball games? And I think for a large stretch there. 48 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm going back to Week one, decent amount of a 49 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: number of stops to get the offense with opportunities in 50 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: the last five minutes to potential steal that one in Buffalo, 51 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: and then we saw what they did to the Los 52 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, shutting down Matthew Stafford and company to ten points. 53 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: Now that's not realistic, but I do think in this 54 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: day and age, you keep a team an offense to 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty twenty one, twenty two points, that's a very 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: solid outing. And that's what we saw on Sunday, especially 57 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: considering there were no points scored by the Lions in 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: the second half. 59 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: That's what's impressive. Was that really that second half play 60 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 3: by the Cardinals defense. And you're right, looking at the 61 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 3: whole of the first three games, it's been nice to 62 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 3: see what this defense can do. And it's no secret 63 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 3: they don't have any household named superstars, so to be 64 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: able to get the type of play they have the 65 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: first three games is very impressive by the players, by 66 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 3: defensive coordinator Nick Raalis and the rest of that coaching staff. 67 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: You did get run over, I know, I take that back. 68 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 3: I won't say you got run over because the second 69 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: half really was a good performance by the defense, but 70 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: you still allow the Lions to run more than they 71 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: probably would have liked to. They finished with almost two 72 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: hundred rushing yards. One hundred and eighty seven of their 73 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy three total yards came on the ground. Now, 74 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: not as an excuse, but you did have some injuries 75 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 3: on the defensive line during that game. You loss Justin 76 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: Jones with the triceps. Kyrie's tonga is dealing with any 77 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: so especially when you're using a rotation the way this 78 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: defense does, that does come into play a little bit. 79 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: That would be if you're looking for something on the 80 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: defense where you say, okay, if you're looking for something 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: of where you could have really done a little bit 82 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: better in that first half. It would have been stopping 83 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: the run. But the defense as a whole, they limited 84 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: explosives they had. They forced a turnover on downs. You 85 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: forced a turnover with a Dennis Gardak interception. This defense 86 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 3: really did enough. The offense did not pull their weight. 87 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: No points allowed over seven second half possessions, one third 88 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: down converted by the Lions in the second half. Of course, 89 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: it was the one that kept the Lions on the 90 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: field for them to run out the clock, and that 91 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: was that third and eleven Jared Goff to Aman Ross 92 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: Saint Brown. But time in and time again. It's a 93 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: two score deficit going into the second half, and once again, 94 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: defense gets off the field only eight first downs, So 95 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: you're getting Golf and company to the sideline, putting the 96 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: offense back onto the football field for an opportunity to 97 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: close that gap again and again and again, and it 98 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: didn't happen. We'll touch on the offense here momentarily, but 99 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: you brought up the defensive line and the injuries. How 100 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: about a shout out here to Dante Stills. There are 101 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: several shoutouts on the defense, but Dante Stills in particular, 102 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: inactive a week ago, dressed on Sunday, wasn't sure if 103 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: he was going to be a part of that rotation. 104 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, Jones goes out, Tonga 105 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: goes out, and Stills comes up with a big time sack, 106 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: a huge fourth down stop. He and Kaiser White to 107 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: get the lines off the football field. So I appreciate 108 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: because we saw this last year from Stills not sure 109 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: if he's going to play as a seventh round pick 110 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: out of West Virginia. Injuries happen, he gets that tap 111 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: on his shoulder, go in and he was very solid 112 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: last year as a rookie and this year playing behind 113 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: some guys, maybe falling down on the depth chart, but 114 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: you never know. Injuries are a part of this game. 115 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: What do you do when your opportunity arises and Still's 116 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: perform well. 117 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 3: Stills was also dealing with a bit of a shoulder 118 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 3: injury as well. It was impressive the way he was 119 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: able to go in and make the most of his opportunities. 120 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 3: That's what it's about in the NFL at any point 121 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: in your career, but especially as a younger player. Going 122 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 3: into year two, Stills is in a position where he's 123 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: in a veteran heavy defensive line room, which is great 124 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: from a developmental standpoint. I like the fact that he 125 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: was able to go in there. You felt like the 126 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: defensive line didn't miss a beat and he made some 127 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 3: big time plays. And that is truly taking advantage of 128 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: the opportunities. No matter how many snaps you're getting, how 129 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: many times your numbers called out there, you're doing what 130 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 3: you can. 131 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: How that first half ended, and then how the second 132 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: half began. 133 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 3: Are you talking how the first half ended? Are we 134 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 3: talking like two minute one second mark, We're a little 135 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 3: more specific, Cride. 136 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, how about we get a little bit specific 137 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: on that scenario, because that was an emotional swing inside 138 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: that stadium with the fans and thinking that all of 139 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's maybe you're taking the lead fourteen to 140 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: thirteen in the end, now you're trailing twenty to seven 141 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: because the Lions stay on the football field. Mac Wilson 142 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: Senior another sac I think he's stood out an excellent 143 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: free agent signing. But that pick six that was wiped 144 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: off the board finally some pressure on golf to force 145 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: that interception, and then everyone is cheering, no one, here's 146 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: the whistle blow, and you wonder, okay, now you just 147 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: wipe that six points off the board, go to a timeout. 148 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: It was chaotic and in the end, this is probably 149 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: not going to make the Bird gang happy, but the 150 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: correct call was made. 151 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: It's hard because I've seen online screenshots where the ball 152 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: is being snapped and it says to a one on 153 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: the clock, and so the play should have stood. The interception, 154 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: which was kind of wacky. It was the pass was 155 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: about down and fell right into Mack Wilson Senior's hands 156 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: and he took it right to the end zone. And 157 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: then the pool reporter when talking to one of the referees, 158 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: one of the officials postgame, and was told by the 159 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: official that the sideline judge was watching the clock and 160 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 3: as soon as that whistle starts to blow, that's when 161 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: the play is dead, and some of the players, to 162 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: your point, it seems, didn't hear the whistle, and so 163 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: that's why the play was overturned, which is a barmer. 164 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: It's hard to say whether or not that was the 165 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: difference maker, because, as we'll talk about the offense, you 166 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: had the interception in the end zone. I do think 167 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: it was the turning point right before half, and it 168 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 3: just kind of felt like, even though postgame, head coach 169 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon says, that's in uncontrollable and they have to 170 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: be able to control their emotions, and emotions didn't necessarily 171 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: get out of hand, but it was deflating to have 172 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: that called back and then you lose by a touchdown. 173 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: I can absolutely understand why you would want say the 174 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 3: correct call, but I can also absolutely the understand the 175 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 3: fans who were not agreeing and probably yelling at their 176 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 3: TVs that they're watching from home about how that play unfolded. 177 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: Did the Cardinals no favor? I went back and watched 178 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: the TV copy this morning. First of all, why the 179 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: Lions even bothered to snap that ball? I have no idea, 180 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: because based off the play clock, they didn't need to 181 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: run a play before the two minute warning. So there's that, 182 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: and the Lions got away with it. And then in 183 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: real time, yeah, it certainly did look like based off 184 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: the TV game clock at two h one, and that's 185 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: what the replay showed going into the commercial break. Coming 186 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: out of the commercial break, a different sync up, and 187 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's no, the ball was snapped 188 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: at the two minute warning. And you mentioned it. Once 189 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: that side judge blows the whistle, the play is dead. 190 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: It's not like the play clock where the back judge 191 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: kind of looks and sees double zero, then looks down 192 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: and sometimes you get that split second where the play 193 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: can come off because the ball has been hiked. There 194 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: are officials that allow that different story. When you're talking 195 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: about the two minute warning, it is dead stop at 196 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: two minutes, And yeah, it was loud in there on 197 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: both sides thinking that, well, one there was a score 198 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: and then a turnover and no one heard it, and 199 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: you're supposed to play the play until you kind of 200 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: get that motion that no, we're blowing it dead. And 201 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: I don't think any of the defenders for the Cardinals 202 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: saw that. 203 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's an unfortunate part of the game, is 204 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: really what it is. And I will say, you know, postgame, 205 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 3: it didn't seem like Scannon or players were moping about it, 206 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: which I mean you shouldn't be again because you're talking 207 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 3: about if you weren't talk about your down by you 208 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 3: lose by seven. Okay, Well you can also attribute that 209 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 3: to the end zone interception. 210 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: And how do you respond when you have a play 211 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: like that? And this is where as well as the 212 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: defense played in the second half, as you start to 213 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: look at certain points of the game, Yeah, you want 214 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: to get stops, but when are you getting stops? And 215 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: a third and twelve in which the lines at that 216 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: point are just trying to run out the clock, get 217 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: into the locker room and Jamira Gibbs on a draw 218 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: play gets fourteen yards, keeps the drive going, and all 219 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: of a sudden the lines are like, hey, maybe we 220 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: can score here, and then you have that hooking ladder 221 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: play and it's twenty to seven. Now, the Cardinals did 222 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: have a decent response to in the first half getting 223 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: Matt Prater on the field for a field goal. So 224 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: now you're down just ten points at halftime. But yeah, 225 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: defense was solid, But there are points in that game 226 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: in which but you could have gotten off the field. 227 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: But you could have gotten off the field. And that 228 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: I think, knowing this defensive coaching staff and this head coach, 229 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: that's what Nick Rolis will talk to his players about 230 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: on Monday morning and throughout the week. Every single time 231 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: the defense is asked to get off the field, that's 232 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: their job, no matter how many times it happens. And 233 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: that's what they did in the second half, but not 234 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: at the end of the game, and not at the 235 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: end of the first half. 236 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, the timing of all of that matters. I mean, 237 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: is it wrong to though that trick play was really fun? 238 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: Now I shouldn't say fun, really well executed like it was. 239 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: It was very well drawn. And I'm trying to think 240 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: if I had seen that, I had seen that in 241 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: that in State Farm Stadium before, and I'm dating myself here, 242 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: the Fest of bal Boise State beating Oklahoma, one of 243 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: the more famous plays run inside State Farm Stadium, Boise 244 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: State pulls off a massive upset in large part because 245 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: of the hook and ladder. I don't know Dan, if 246 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: I've ever seen that play in the NFL, though, And 247 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: a gutsy call because if that talk about the decision, 248 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: the play call, and the play execution, those plays not 249 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: easy to execute, especially when you speed things up down 250 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: near the goal line and you have defenders flying all 251 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: over the place. But catch was made excellent pitch and 252 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: then running into the end zone. 253 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 3: The timing and the distance has to be perfectly executed 254 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 3: by all players involved. On that there's really no room 255 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 3: for air, which is unfortunate for the Cardinals defense. But 256 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: I don't Oh, that's a hard one to defend. 257 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think. Again, it hadn't been on film 258 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: at least to my knowledge. I didn't see the lines 259 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: run that at all. And just that's why, and I 260 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: should have said this off the top, but that's why 261 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: this is a week to week league, because the emotions 262 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: how we all felt this time a week ago versus 263 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: how we all feel now night and day difference. I 264 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: mean You're coming off one of the better performances offense 265 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: and defense against your Indivision rival, and now all of 266 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: a sudden, you feel like you can't you can't ever lose. 267 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: And now here we are on a Monday morning going 268 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: uh one and two Commanders coming to town and after 269 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: a loss, it's will we ever win a ballgame again? 270 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 3: Are you talking from a fans perspective or Okay, I 271 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: don't feel like the players were like that. 272 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: Now players can get over very very quick. Right, It's 273 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: much different for fans. 274 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: Right, And yeah, it is hard. I mean week to 275 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: week things change around the league so drastically. I think 276 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: that when you're looking at the Rams win, it was 277 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 3: so fun and so exciting for so many reasons. That's 278 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: not a realistic, sustainable way to win a game every week. 279 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: It's just not realistic, and especially when you're looking at 280 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 3: the Rams personnel at the moment. I do think that 281 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: there are positives to still take away from this Lion's loss, 282 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: just given how physical Detroit is and how balanced they are. 283 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 3: I think that the Cardinals are proving both with the 284 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: Lions and the Bills. There are two losses that they're 285 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 3: still not only being competitive but they're holding their own 286 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 3: and with the exception of a few misplays, they're they're 287 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: hanging in there and have the opportunity to win these games. 288 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: To that point, two losses, both one score losses, and 289 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: two teams that very well going into this season. Bills 290 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: represent in the AFC, Lions representing the NFC potential Super 291 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: Bowl teams, and the Cardinals hung tough with an opportunity 292 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: in Buffalo to perhaps win it late and certainly with 293 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: an opportunity several opportunities in the second half to certainly 294 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: win a second straight home game on Sunday, and that 295 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: didn't happen. And let's transition to talk about why it 296 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: didn't happen, because as well as this team has now begun, 297 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: as far as the offense is concerned, in all three games, 298 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: the offense has scored on its first possession, and that's 299 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: one great preparation. As far as that call sheet, the 300 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: first scripted plays, how many is at ten, fifteen, twenty, 301 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: and then the execution by the players, and we've seen 302 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: that and it looks so good, and all of a sudden, 303 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: you're seven to seven, five minutes remaining in the first quarter, 304 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: You're like, okay, defense. Yeah, it's gonna be difficult against 305 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: the Lions, but the offense picking up where they left off, 306 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: and then that was it, Danny. There was nothing else 307 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: after that touchdown. 308 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: Well mentioned by you on scoring on your first drive 309 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 3: of the last three games, that's a major improvement from 310 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,359 Speaker 3: last year. Circumstances are very different when you're talking about personnel, 311 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 3: mainly your quarterback and Kyler Murray being out there to 312 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 3: start this season, that is an improvement. It was peculiar 313 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 3: because I would say the offensive line play was better 314 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: than I expected, just going up against a game wrecker 315 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 3: in Aiden Hutchinson, and the fact that you started the 316 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: game on your third right tackle of the season and 317 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 3: Jackson Barton because Calvin Beacham didn't play because of the 318 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: hamstring he showed up on the injury report on Thursday, 319 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 3: and then later in the game Barton left with a 320 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 3: toe injury and Charlie Heck entered the game. So now 321 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 3: you're on your fourth right tackle of the season. And 322 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 3: I won't say that Hutchinson wasn't a factor. He was 323 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: entering that game coming off a four and a half 324 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 3: sack game and he finished with one on one sack. 325 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 3: So in that sense. The offensive line did a nice 326 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 3: job with the pressure, and it was part of the 327 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: game plan for Murray to get the ball out quickly, 328 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 3: just with that pass rush. What's peculiar is not being 329 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 3: able to run the ball and not being able to 330 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 3: create gaps and outside of Hutchinson, the rest of that 331 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 3: front seven and what Detroit was able to do to 332 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 3: combat the Cardinals run game. You finished with just seventy 333 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 3: seven rushing yards. Forty five of those came from your quarterback, 334 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: who was your leading rusher. That this offense is built 335 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 3: around being able to run the ball consistently, early, often, 336 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 3: and in a dominating fashion. They weren't able to do that. 337 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 3: They were forced to become one dimensional by Detroit, and 338 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: so then you're playing from behind and you're having to 339 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 3: just continuously pass the ball to the point you're not 340 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 3: even able to run the ball in the fourth quarter. 341 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 3: The Cardinals were just not able to create any rhythm 342 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: offensively early on. Despite scoring on that first drive. You 343 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 3: really couldn't continue that afterwards, and then you start seeing 344 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 3: and it wasn't necessarily forced, but as a team, you're 345 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 3: forced to have to make up some points and some 346 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: yardage and throw the ball and now you're starting to 347 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 3: see some incomplete if the play really isn't there. It 348 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 3: was just and it really all starts from not being 349 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 3: able to run the ball. 350 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: Couldn't sustain drives. Only one third down converted. It was 351 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: the first one of the game, a third and two, 352 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: and Michael Wilson with a five yard catch on that 353 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: first possession, which the Cardinals went eight plays seventy yards, 354 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray Marvin Harrison Junior were able to hook 355 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: up for the third time this season. But after that, 356 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: oh of eight on third down, and it wasn't a 357 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: lot of manageable third downs. Four of the nine third 358 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: downs were of nine or more yards. So now all 359 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're not doing enough on first and 360 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: second down, which means, to your point, couldn't run the football. 361 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden you're forced to pass 362 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: on second and long, third and long. The Lions know it, 363 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: everyone in the stands know it, everyone watching knows it, 364 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: and it becomes much more difficult as an offense win. 365 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: Half your playbook has been taken away because you who 366 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: are forced to throw the football in order to move 367 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: the chains, and the Cardinals just were not able to 368 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: do that enough. And it got frustrating watching that because 369 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: it was three and out, four and out, five and out, 370 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: very minimal drives as far as plays, and you're continuously 371 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: putting the defense back on the field to see if 372 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: they could get a stop. They did, and every time 373 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: the Cardinals didn't never had an answer offensively, You just. 374 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: You didn't have the explosive plays on the ground that 375 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 3: you need. Only two first downs came on the ground 376 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 3: for the Cardinals. Just again, the way that this offense 377 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 3: is built and how they really get going and being 378 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 3: able to utilize every other aspect of this offense stems 379 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: from running the ball. So when you can't do that, 380 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 3: it makes life very difficult. 381 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: James Connor had his worst production and a Cardinals uniform 382 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: and his fewest rushing yards in his career a minimum 383 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: of nine carries, And you brought it up, Kyler Murray. 384 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: You never want your quarterback to be your leading rusher 385 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: forty five yards and plitting a little run of twenty one. 386 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: But you're running backs combined for thirty two rushing yards 387 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: on thirteen carries, and for whatever reason, yeah, that's a 388 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: solid front seven by the Lions. But whether it was 389 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: Connor or Benson or de Mercado. There was nothing in 390 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: the middle. They tried to stretch it out and there 391 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: was nothing. They weren't able to get to the edge. 392 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, you credit the defense. Yet at the same time, 393 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: now it's okay, well, why was this team successful running 394 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: the ball earlier in the season and got stopped in 395 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: Week three? What are the adjustments? And it doesn't all 396 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: fall on the offensive line, because I thought they played 397 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: well pass protection. Now maybe that are run blocking wasn't great, 398 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: but I don't think that falls on who the who 399 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: was or who wasn't the right tackle. I think that's 400 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: more on the interior than it might be on the outside. 401 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: No, I agree with that completely. I don't. I don't. 402 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 3: If anything, I think you can say Jackson Barton did 403 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 3: a very good job filling in. I don't know how 404 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: last minute it was. I mean, and I'm sure the 405 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 3: fact that Beacham didn't even practice Friday, that's got to 406 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: be starting to get into his head a little bit. 407 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: You tweeted out a stat about Barton. 408 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: Though Next Gen stats, and this was Barton's first career 409 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: start allowed just two pressures on twenty seven pass blocks. 410 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: That's seven point four percent as we do math. We 411 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: do math here on Cardinals Cover two, just not in 412 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: the NFL Kickoff show. But and I watched the first 413 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: play from scrimmage for the Cardinals offense was a run 414 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: play away from ninety seven. They were very deliberate. James 415 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: Connor went to the left and Aiden Hutchinson was lined 416 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: up to the right. The second play, Barton got beat 417 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: on an inside move. Kyler felt the pressure got rid 418 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: of the football. Outside of that, Barton held his own. 419 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: He did get some help, whether it was Benson or 420 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: de Mercado, Tip Rieman in there as well. And the 421 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: only sack that Hutchinson had was a tremendous spin move, 422 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: but it was against Paris Johnson Junior on the left side. 423 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: So as much to talk as we had going into 424 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 1: this game about Hutchinson's just lining up opposite the right tackle, 425 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: I think there was some frustration, whether it was by 426 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: Aiden or some of those lines. The defensive coaches like, 427 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: all right, it's not working over here. Let's try the 428 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: other side and see if we can't get something going. 429 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: Because five and a half sacks going into this game, 430 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: and your number one sack artist. As far as getting 431 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: too the opposing quarterback, and Hutchinson's name was not called 432 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: by Dave Passion Ron Wofully a lot. Even getting a 433 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: hand in the face of Kyler Murray. 434 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 3: Still credit to the rest of that line's defense. Entering 435 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 3: Sunday's game against the Cardinals, they were top five and 436 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 3: a handful of categories, not just sacks but quarterback hits, pressures. 437 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 3: I mean that defense as a whole, even around Hutchinson, 438 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 3: is a very stout, formidable defense. 439 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: The lack of a run game and being one dimensional, 440 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: and this is something that even we saw last season 441 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: when the Cardinals got down a couple of scores, they 442 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: didn't in the run game, it was still part of 443 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: it to kind of keep the defense honest. That wasn't 444 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: the case on Sunday. There were no rushing attempts in 445 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. The last eighteen plays the offense ran. 446 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: We're all pass plays now. Were the lines that good 447 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: and stopping the run? The numbers would suggest yes, but 448 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: you got away from what is this offense's identity, and 449 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: that is run first. Yet at the same time, I understand, Okay, 450 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: you're running into a brick wall. How many times you're 451 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: going to keep running your head into that big row 452 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: before you stop and say, all right, this isn't working. 453 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 3: That's the point I was gonna make of. It feels 454 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: like a double edged sword, right of Okay, well you're 455 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 3: eliminating your identity. But at the same time, it's been 456 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 3: three quarters and it's not working right. So if it 457 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: were the other way around, what do we be sitting 458 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: here saying you're not making any adjustments if the run 459 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 3: game isn't working, right. I feel like that's a fine. 460 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 1: Line to walk, another fine line to walk. Marvin Harrison 461 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: Junior and how many targets he received after week one? 462 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: What was the conversation? You got to get more and 463 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: more involved. Sometimes you have to force it, just put 464 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: it up and let them go get it. Well, Marvin 465 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: was targeted eleven times, only had five catches for sixty 466 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: four yards and that touchdown on that first possession. And 467 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: then to hear Kyler Murray on the interception to begin 468 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: the second half backpedaling a little bit saying, you know what, 469 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: probably not a smart decision to force it in there. 470 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: So now what do I hear on Cardinal Talk working 471 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: with Ken Summers is number of callers suggesting, oh yeah, 472 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: can't force it there, Kyler, you just can't force it, 473 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: and driving home, it is like, Okay, well that was 474 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: what we all wanted the week before, and all of 475 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: a sudden when you do force it, but it's unsuccessful. Now, 476 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was a bad decision by 477 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. And it wasn't just the interception, and there 478 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: were some other balls either not thrown accurately enough or 479 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: just miscommunication from a number of different pass catchers. 480 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 3: On Sunday, it's interesting when you're playing from behind to 481 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 3: a certain I mean, you don't want to force it, 482 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 3: but you've got to. I mean, at the risk of 483 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 3: contradicting myself, you have to force it a little right, 484 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: Like we're talking about the fact that you're playing from behind, 485 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 3: you have to making up yardage. The run game is 486 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 3: not successful, so you're having to pass the ball, which 487 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 3: Detroit is now expecting at that point. And I do 488 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 3: think we are going to and it's hard to say 489 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 3: this after those incomplete and the end zone interception, I 490 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 3: really do think you're going to get to a point 491 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 3: where Harrison and Murray are going to have that connection 492 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 3: and that chemistry and they're going to know each other 493 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 3: so well that those passes are more times than not 494 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 3: still going to click. It's just it's unfortunate. I like 495 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 3: the fact that you're still targeting him and you're making 496 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 3: sure he's involved in the game as your number one 497 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 3: receiver as you should. I mean, Michael Wilson was also 498 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 3: targeted a lot. Nine times. You had eight receptions on 499 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 3: nine targets. Both he and Harrison finished with sixty four 500 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 3: receiving yards. 501 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: The fact that Michael was able to get going after 502 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: kind of being quiet the first two weeks is a positive, 503 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: and I think that was an adjustment, whether that's Drew 504 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: Petsing or Kyler Murray. All Right, we can't get the 505 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: ball to eighteen. The Lions are doing a good job. 506 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: We don't want to force it anymore. It's just it's 507 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: just whatever reason it's not connecting. So you go back 508 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: to what is maybe a little bit more of a 509 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: known and that is the fact that Michael Wilson didn't 510 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: have a lot of games together with Kyler, but he 511 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: at least has more than Marvin Harrison Junior. Now, the 512 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: unfortunate part, and we don't know right now, probably won't 513 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: know for a couple of more days, is the status 514 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: of Tyler End Trey McBride, who has certainly been quiet 515 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: so far this season, would we had expected him to 516 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: be a little bit more of a focal point within 517 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: this offense because you had two wide outs that would 518 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: take the attention and open up the middle. Haven't seen that. Now. 519 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: The question is do we see Trey this week and 520 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: how long potential he might be out being evaluated for 521 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: a concussion that was a violent hit and a scary 522 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: moment on the field for both teams, and the fact 523 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: that Trey was able to walk off the field but 524 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: then immediately going into the locker room. Again as we 525 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: speak here on this Monday, don't have any further information 526 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: and we probably won't for a few days now. 527 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: You never want to see an injury percussion no less. 528 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 3: I just feel like is just horrible to see and 529 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 3: it goes to show one how violent the game is 530 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 3: as a whole, and then also this specific matchup just 531 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 3: two really intense and well coached, passionate teams. 532 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: The physical the physical nature of this game, it seemed 533 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: like the Lions felt the brunt of it in the 534 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: first half, and how many injury stoppages that were early 535 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: in the game and then you see Sam Laporta get 536 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: carted off before the end of the first half. Second 537 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: half though, of Cardinal players that were walking off the 538 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: field and either returning, Boudabaker I think was just more 539 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: of a cramp. He came back after missing a couple 540 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: of plays. But other than that, you was a Justin Jones, 541 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: a Kyrie's Toga, Jackson Barton, Trey McBride, I mean not 542 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: household names, but at positions in which you can't afford 543 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: to lose players like that because of the depth issues 544 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: on the defensive line, on the offensive line, and then 545 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: of course you're number one tied end. Again, it was 546 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: late in which Trey wasn't on the football field, but 547 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: that's a big piece to this offensive puzzle. 548 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 3: We don't have information on those players and whether or 549 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 3: not it's short term or long term injuries. Then you 550 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 3: also got to keep in mind you're starting in backup 551 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 3: tackles and Jonah Williams is still on IR with an 552 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 3: E and we don't know the status of Calvin Beacham 553 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: with his hamstring that kept him out of Sunday's game. 554 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 3: So in a quick blink of an eye, things can 555 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 3: really change quickly week to week. 556 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: Can you start four different right tackles in four weeks? 557 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: I mean twenty one, twenty twenty two where it was like, 558 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 3: it wasn't until week eight seventeen eighteen where you had 559 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 3: you're you're starting offensive line with your starting quarterback. I 560 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 3: can't recall which year it was. I think it was 561 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty one season. 562 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that. You it was like I think 563 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: week eleven or twelve, because you were paying attention to 564 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: that as far as you're projected starting offensive line as 565 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: far as how many weeks in which they were healthy 566 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: for back to back weeks, I think it was the 567 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: stat and it wasn't until later in the season, really late, 568 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: and a year ago we were talking about the injuries 569 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: on the defensive line LJ. Collier, and now it's potentially 570 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: the offensive line at least right tackle. But the Justin 571 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: Jones injury again as we speak here on Monday, anytime 572 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: you hear biceps or triceps, that's a concern and arm 573 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: injury for a defensive tackle. Defensive lineman's that's where they 574 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: make their money with their hands, and you have the 575 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: don't have that ability and all of a sudden, how 576 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: long is that going to be out and we don't 577 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: know right now, but that's a big concern if Jones 578 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: is going to be out for any extended period of time. 579 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: Of course, Darius Robinson perhaps coming back after this week, 580 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: that would be the only good news if he's able 581 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: to come back after missing the first four weeks on IR. 582 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 3: That's true, Gotta I mean something. Definitely keep our eye on. 583 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 3: Nearing the end of this week and early into next week. 584 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: Cardinals lose twenty to thirteen, drop to one and two 585 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: on the season. Okay, No, even though we don't have 586 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: Paul with us here on this Monday, and it's more 587 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: preferable to see you on a Monday morning than it 588 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: is to see Paul, we do still have to hand 589 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: out the Angry Bird Award. And that's that bird right 590 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: there as I do the in the mini helmet, Yeah, 591 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: which is awful on audio to actually point, because no 592 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: one can see what I'm doing here. But do we 593 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: have nominees, Do we have a consensus on who is 594 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: there a specific player based off their performance, individual performance 595 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: or a certain that we should highlight here on Monday morning? 596 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 3: I think we got to go defense, and it is 597 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: what we've talked about and linebacker Mac Wilson Senior is 598 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: a name that stands out. Finish the game with eight tackles, sack, 599 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 3: tackle for loss, a quarterback hit, and when the play 600 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 3: we talked about at around the two minute warning and 601 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 3: that was an interception taken back to the end zone 602 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 3: that was overturned. Even without that, Wilson had a nice 603 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 3: game and all season these first three games, you've gotten 604 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 3: a good look at his versatility and what he really 605 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 3: does add to this offense when he's back there with 606 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 3: Kaiser White, and how physical he is and how strong 607 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 3: of a tackler he is, and it's really nice to 608 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: see him get in the backfield. I mean he's quick. 609 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 3: Even if he's not coming off the edge and he's 610 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 3: going through the a gap, he gets back there fast 611 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 3: and he is strong and it is a nice addition 612 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 3: to both the linebackers group and the outside linebackers and 613 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 3: being able to use him in multiple ways. 614 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: And that was a conversation this offseason, where would we 615 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: see number two line up? Yeah, he's an inside linebacker, 616 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: but he showed he could rush the quarterback towards the 617 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: end of last season with the New England Patriots and 618 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you lose a b Joe Jolari, 619 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: all right, there might be more of a need to 620 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: get to the quarterback and to see number two lined 621 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: up on either side, but as an outside linebacker. And 622 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: then seeing how much time he works with Rob Rodriguez 623 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: out here on the practice field behind you, Danny. That 624 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: is something that for offenses you have to pay attention to. Yeah, 625 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: you gotta know where Buddha Baker is, but where is 626 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: Mac Wilson And is at a tell for a defense 627 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: if he's in coverage or if he's close to the 628 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage to rush the quarterback, or maybe for 629 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: a TfL on a running back. But a great find 630 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: three games into the season, well worth the money, well 631 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: worth the years that he was given this off season. 632 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: Is a free agent signing, and I do think he 633 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: fits very well with what Jonathan Gannon and Nick Rowlis 634 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: want to do. And this is just the combination of 635 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: he and Kaiser White and how fast friends they have 636 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: become in a short amount of time. 637 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 3: Wilson fits exactly what they want this staff as a 638 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 3: player and as a person, somebody who really loves ball 639 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 3: and is very passionate about that, and that shows up 640 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 3: in the play in terms of the motor, the violence, 641 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 3: the technique, and the IQ fitting all of that well 642 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 3: with the versatility, and that is important for this team, 643 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 3: for this defense specifically, and that's been made very clear 644 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 3: of again when you're having to get the most out 645 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 3: of a defense. And I don't say that as this 646 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 3: defense doesn't have the personnel or the talent, because it's 647 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 3: very clear they do. When you look around other teams, right, 648 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 3: it's easy, Okay, well you've got this big name here, 649 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 3: You've got this big pass rusher, You've got this big 650 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 3: Pro Bowl defensive lineman, all these things. The Cardinals don't 651 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 3: have that, which makes it all the more pressive of 652 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 3: what they've been able to do. And Mac Wilson Senior 653 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 3: is a prime example of being able to get the 654 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 3: most out of your players and find a way to 655 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 3: put a puzzle together of everybody's best skill sets and 656 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 3: how they work best with each other and work best 657 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 3: for the team, with. 658 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: Some of the parts greater than the individuals. And that's 659 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: something that I think. You don't have big names, but 660 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: what you do have are a bunch of team first 661 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: guys who work well together. They mesh well together, so 662 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: you don't maybe have to go out and spend big moneys. 663 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: You're trying to find the right person, the right player, 664 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: and this is something that I think we'll see a 665 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: lot of on either side of the ball. But yeah, 666 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: mac Wilson Senior, we give him the Angry Bird Award 667 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: and is someone that plays angry. I think that's an 668 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: apt description for mac Wilson Senior. He can be intimidating, 669 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: great guy off the field, but between the white lines 670 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 1: there's a difference. I put Kaiser White in that category. 671 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 3: I think it's clear to see why the two of 672 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 3: them connect so well on and off the field. 673 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: You are glad that they are on your team as 674 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: opposed to facing them each and every week. All right, Uh, 675 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: good job, Danny. 676 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 3: Thank you surprised. 677 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: No, I'm not surprised at all. I'm not the one 678 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: who's sighed at the start of this. 679 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 3: But we're okay. 680 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: You can have Wednesday off now. 681 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 3: Thank you, the whole day, or just cover two. 682 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: I'll leave that up to you and you can discuss 683 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: that with the bosses and the ones that make power decisions. Yeah, 684 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: that are a little bit higher on the food chain 685 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: than I am. And we will regrettably welcome Paul back 686 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: Wednesday and then next. 687 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 3: Wheesh, tough crowd for Paul Calvc. 688 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: Well it's Paul.
