Speaker 1: it is time to get back to work after the

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: bye week, and time to focus on these five remaining

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: games in the regular season, beginning Monday against the New

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: England Patriots. Who do we want to see step up

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: on both offense and defense over these last five games? First, though,

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Danny comes clean. It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode six twenty two,

Speaker 1: and it starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two, Hitting

00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: the backfield and Donny goes for a loss. J J.

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts.

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: Visit Easy Cardinals dot com Slash podcasts. He's at the

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: ten half of five. He's in again, so for Harry Magic. Whoa,

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: here's Craig Grieloup, so right off the top tier on

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: this Wednesday one week ago. Danny, you'll lied, but for

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: good reason. I'm sorry, Craig. I lied for my dad,

17
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: if that makes it any better. My dad had a

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: big birthday last week, and so I was going home

19
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: to surprise him for the bye weekend to celebrate with

20
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: him in my family. And so when you asked me

21
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: what I was doing for the bye week, if I

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: was going home, I couldn't say that I was going

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: home when we recorded on Wednesday because my dad is

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: a loving, supporting father who listens and watches all of

25
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: our content, and I didn't want him to listen to

26
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: the podcast before I got home Friday night and ruined

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: the surprise. Now, it wasn't much of a surprise to

28
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: begin with, but that's another story. But that is why

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: I lied to you. It was with good intent. I

30
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: apologized as soon as we got off air. I apologized

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: on Cardinal's Underground with Darren Urban and Paul CALVICI. So

32
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: I hope that you can forgive me perfectly acceptable and yeah, forgiven,

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: that's that's without question. But I'm just I'm pleased that

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: amongst the many bird Gang fans out there that we

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: can claim mister Srek. Oh. Of course he's an avid listener. Sha. Yeah,

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: that's good. So it was a good weekend away. It

37
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: was a good weekend away. It was quick. It was

38
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: nice to be home, got to see my family, got

39
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: to see my friends, my nephew, who like is at

40
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: the point where the fact that I hadn't seen him

41
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: in five months. He's about a year and a half now,

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: so he was like a completely different child and the

43
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: last time I saw him. So I'm really glad I

44
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: got to go home and relax. Did you get to

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: do the same, did not do much. It was a

46
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: good break, if you will, mental break, because you know,

47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: physical break that's for players to coach. There's no physical

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: break for us. Look, we don't we don't do anything

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: that's any of exercise. It's more of a mental break.

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: But as I mentioned to you one week ago, was okay,

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: let's how much can I clean out of the DVR?

52
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: And that was basically what Friday, Saturday and Sunday was

53
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: into a certain extent Monday as well. But yes it

54
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: is back to work and no Hard Knocks episode this

55
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: week coming off the bye week, so a little bit

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: early edition of Cardinals Covered two presented by Hounday, probably

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals. We will resume the reaction

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: next Wednesday, coming off the hopeful win against New England

59
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Patriots on Monday Night Football. Because, as we've explained in detail,

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: much more enjoyable watching Hard Knocks in season when you

61
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: know that the team won on either that Sunday or Monday. Yeah,

62
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: that was what was so hard coming off that last

63
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: episode against the Chargers. You know, a game that the

64
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals really had. It was just you know, a few

65
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: mistakes at the end that really cost them on offense,

66
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: on in those last couple of first downs defense that

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: two point conversion to lose by one point. So hopefully

68
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals can get this win to have those better

69
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks episodes. And also, you know, it's crazy at

70
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: foreign A Mathematically they're not eliminated from the playoffs, yet

71
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: the chances are slim, yes, very slim. However, with how

72
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: wacky the rest of the NFC still looks now, some

73
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: teams are starting to create separation, but some of the

74
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: other spots, I mean, it's pretty crazy how it still looks.

75
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: So if they went out and they have a couple

76
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: of things happen and these other teams start losing, and

77
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: the fact that the forty nine Ers lost Jimmy Gee

78
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: for well not for the season, but has that foot injury,

79
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: it's crazy to say that anything is still possible. And

80
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: when you look at the remaining five teams on the

81
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals schedule, that rings true. You got the Patriots on Monday,

82
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: a road trip to Denver, home, do the Buccaneers on

83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Christmas Night, and then back to back road trips at

84
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta and at San Francisco. Kyler Mourne DeAndre Hopkins both

85
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: brought that up. Look, we're not eliminated. Yes, we're in

86
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: a must win situation, but they each brought up this.

87
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: The focus is on what we can control, and that

88
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: is performing on Monday or on Sunday the rest the

89
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: regular season, because that's all that they can control. When

90
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: you leave it up to everyone else, then it becomes

91
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: much more difficult. And I remember a conversation we had

92
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: earlier this season. You don't want more dominoes or more

93
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: hurdles put in front of you that you have to

94
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: knock down. And that's where the Cardinals are at this point.

95
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: That's why that lost the Chargers because you had that game,

96
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: you had it right there in your hands, and you

97
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: let it slip away. And that could be one of

98
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: the games. And there might be several games that you

99
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: look back on and say, what if if this had

100
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 1: gone the other way? Then, yeah, the Cardinals are playing

101
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: in mid January. I see that. You know when the

102
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: season comes to a closure, it's going to be a

103
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: lot of what ifs. This to me feels like that

104
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: kind of season of hindsight of We talked a lot

105
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: about training camp and the workload at training camp and preseason,

106
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: the starters not getting any preseason snaps and how that

107
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: seemed to effect that Kansas City game quite significantly, especially

108
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: on defense. The what if of all the injuries that

109
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: this team has faced. You have one offensive starter, knock

110
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: On Wood, who has not missed a game, which is

111
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: your right tackle Kelvin Beecham. There has just been a lot,

112
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: and I feel like we're going to get to a

113
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: point of it's all the what ifs. But it's unfortunate

114
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals find themselves in a spot that you

115
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: don't want to be, which is one and must win

116
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: every game from here on out, and two, you're going

117
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: to have to start relying on other teams to pull

118
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: through for you. And that's just never a situation you

119
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: want to be into where you're having to scoreboard watch

120
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: or you're having to rely on certain teams to do

121
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: certain things and have outcomes that that's not in your control.

122
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: So I get what they're saying is all we can

123
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: do is focus on what we can control, because everything

124
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: else is out of our hands at this point. And

125
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: the focus this week, Week fourteen the New England Patriots

126
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football six fifteen is the kickoff two

127
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: thirty pre game, And for those that are headed to

128
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: the game, make sure you bring a unwrapped toy. New

129
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: unwrapped toy. The Cardinals are participating in a toy drive

130
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: presented by a Desert Financial Credit Union. You can go

131
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: bring a new unwrapped toy to the game, drop it

132
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: off at any location outside the stadium, and the toy

133
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: drive benefits Arizona Helping Hands, So it's gonna be a

134
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: good crowd. Look, the Patriots are in a similar situation

135
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: at six and six. They're still alive in the postseason.

136
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: And you talk about the Patriots and it's Bill Belichick.

137
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: It's amazing because if you bring up any other team,

138
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: I think in the National Football League, you always focus

139
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: either on a quarterback or maybe a star offensive skilled

140
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: player or a defensive player. But anytime you bring up

141
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots, it's one name. It's Bill Belichick. Third winning

142
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: is coach in NFL history. I got a chance to

143
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: talk with Calvin Beacham this week on the Sideline Exchange

144
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: interview I had, and I asked him about that of

145
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: the challenges going up against a coach like Bill Belichick

146
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: because he constantly has his team in the game. And

147
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: that's what Calvin said was, no matter where he's played

148
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: in his career, every time he's gone against the Patriots,

149
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: no matter how much you might be up by what

150
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: the situation is, you can't count them out, not just

151
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: because of the players, but because of the coach and

152
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: the way that he has his team prepared every week

153
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: and what he has up his sleeve. And it is

154
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: really interesting to hear that. You know, this is one

155
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: of those unique situations where a lot of the talk

156
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: is about the coach and also his relationship with Cardinals

157
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury. It was Bill Belichick in two

158
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: thousand and one, I believe that or two thousand that

159
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: drafted Cliff Kingsbury out of Texas Tech in the sixth round.

160
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: Did not see a lot of time, spend a lot

161
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: of that season on injured reserve. But you even talk

162
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: with Cliff to this date about that time and how

163
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: much he learned from just watching, not only how Belichick

164
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: and his staff at the time organizes practice, but just

165
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: the preparation to be prepared for anything and everything that

166
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: may come up in a game. And I've heard players

167
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: talk about it who have played for the Patriots. Nothing

168
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: is left because even on a Friday, maybe it's the

169
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: last thing you do and you're thinking, why are we

170
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: going over this situation? And wouldn't you know it, either

171
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: that week or a week coming up, they're in that

172
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: situation where it's late game or a special team situation,

173
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: or a certain rule that Belichick knows that maybe not

174
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: everyone else does. And then the next thing you know,

175
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: that's the difference between a win and a loss, and

176
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: you gotta respect it. The thing with this Patriots team, though,

177
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: is the offense is their weak spot. That that's what's

178
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: been inconsistent. The defense has been playing much better than

179
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the offense, and they've got the third most sacks in

180
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: the league. Linebacker Matthew Judon spearheads that with thirteen. So

181
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: when you've got an offense now the offensive line will

182
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: likely see their ninth starting combination this week. But I

183
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: do think that the last couple of weeks they have

184
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: looked pretty good, considering four of the five starters are

185
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: on ir Considering you have one game where your former

186
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: tight ends coach now your offensive line coach and run

187
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: game coordinator Steve Hayden was at the helm. So I

188
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: think all things consider that. This backup offensive line. I

189
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: know Pauca Vias, he likes to calm. I think he's

190
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: going with Beach and the boys. Beach him and the

191
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: boys is what he's calling that backups. I think each

192
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: in the backups is that what he decided on. He's

193
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: very alliterative when it comes to nicknames. If you haven't

194
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: noticed yet, but it's it's going to be a challenge

195
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: for that group going up against this defense. You brought

196
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: it up the likely ninth different offensive line combination. That's

197
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: because we found out earlier on Wednesday. Rashad Coward is

198
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: dealing with a peck strain. He has started each of

199
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: the past two games at right guard and if that

200
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: happens again, excuse me, at left guard, and if he

201
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: misses this week, then now of a sun Okay, is

202
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: it Cody Ford who started weeks eight and nine? Do

203
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: you move Lucida Smith from right guard to left guard?

204
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: I would think that would be unlikely, But if Coward

205
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: is unable to go, and Clip didn't seem very optimistic

206
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: that we might see Cody Ford back in there at

207
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: right guard, excuse me, at left guard, and then Max

208
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: Garcia in at right guard. Yes, just crazy, crazy what

209
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: that group has gone through. But you know, I asked

210
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: that to Kelvin in the interview when he was saying,

211
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's because that group, everything they've gone

212
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: through there, they're really playing for each other and everybody

213
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: wants to go out there and put their best foot forward.

214
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: And so that's been one of the reasons they've been

215
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: able to have as much cohesiveness as they've had because

216
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: this isn't just a line of backups. This has been

217
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: a revolving door of you're a perfect example of what

218
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: could probably happen this week of you're swapping out a

219
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: guard here or tackle here, you're moving this guard from

220
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: right to left, or you've got Josh Jones at left tackle.

221
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: Now that Dj Humphries is on I R and won't

222
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: come back this season with a back injury, it hasn't

223
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: been easy. And then to have the coaching change that

224
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: they had, but they're coming off a game against the Chargers.

225
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: I'll be at a Chargers defense who does not stop

226
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: the run well, where the Cardinals had one hundred and

227
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: eighty one rushing yards and a touchdown, James Connor had

228
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards, the first time he'd surpassed

229
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: one hundred rushing yards as a Cardinal. So they're coming

230
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: off a game where despite a loss, they have that

231
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: confidence knowing that they can do it. Now it's just

232
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: a matter of stream that together. Two different left tackles,

233
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: five different left guards, three different centers, three different right guards,

234
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, one Kelvin Beecham, who, as Josh Jones joked

235
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, Danny at thirty three years old,

236
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: the oldest guy in that room. Yet he is the

237
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: only one who hasn't missed a game, and they're all

238
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: looking going, what are you doing that we aren't doing.

239
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: I think a lot of this is it's just luck,

240
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: and this offensive line has been very unlucky. It's not

241
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: a question of talents or lack of depth. When you

242
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: are missing that many players, that many starters, it is

243
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: just bad luck. And that doesn't include missing your starting

244
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: quarterback for two games. You're starting tight end, your wide

245
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: receivers who you know Hot missed the first six games

246
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: of the suspension, and then Hollywood Brown was hurt. Rondo

247
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: Moore has been in and out of the lineup with injuries.

248
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: There's been a lot going on. And we learned from

249
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: a couple of Hard Knocks episodes ago that Calvin Beecham

250
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: almost missed a game because he was having health problems.

251
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? And then they said, you know,

252
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: popcorn itis, but I think it was they thought like

253
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: an appendix at one point, so he even got close

254
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: to missing a game. If you're looking for some sort

255
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: of positive, I do think you can be happy with

256
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: how this offensive line has improved the last couple of weeks.

257
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: With all the backups. There were some shaky moments, some

258
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: arrant snaps, misscommunication, too many penalties, and it does seem

259
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: like that the last couple of weeks they have improved

260
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: in those self inflifting wounds. Some other better news as

261
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: far as the health of this team. Byron Murphy was

262
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: back on the field on Wednesday, participating during the open portion.

263
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: He's missed the past three games with a back end jury,

264
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: and it does certainly sound I know Cliff is very

265
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: big on day to day, but when you are dealing

266
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: with a back issue, and Murphy's missed the past three

267
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: weeks or three games. It does certainly sound like it

268
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: is day to day that if Murphy wakes up Monday,

269
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: drives to State Farm Stadium and hits the field, Okay,

270
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go, he'll go. I do think it

271
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: was telling that when the team put DJ Humphreys on

272
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: IR with a back injury, they didn't do it with Byron,

273
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: so that had you hopeful that he was on the

274
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: right track. But you're right, it is so tricky. That's

275
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: not you know, like an injury where you might have

276
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: like a high angle sprain or something like that, where

277
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: you can pretty much go through you have a good

278
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: idea of how long the recovery process will look like.

279
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: But to have a back can be so different every

280
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: single day. But it is really nice that he's out

281
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: there that first practice coming off the bye week. That

282
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: would be so much needed help to a secondary It'll

283
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: be interesting to see though, what other players are able

284
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: to come back as Greg Dortch able to come back,

285
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: although it probably wouldn't be in the full capacity in

286
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: terms of special teams and working as a returner. Rondel

287
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Moore was not out on the practice field. So is

288
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: that something that because it's a Monday night game, he

289
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: can miss that Wednesday practice and come down later in

290
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: the week, or is that make it look like it's

291
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: pretty unlikely he's going to be able to play. Dortch

292
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: dealing with a thumb, and that would mean perhaps maybe

293
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: if he does play, you're not able to feel kickoffs

294
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: and punts and Rondel dealing with a growing and again

295
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: he did not play against the Chargers. First official injury

296
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: or report doesn't come out until Thursday. But it was

297
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: good to see. Okay, seventy seven different players have suited

298
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: up and play for the Cardinals this season. But I'll

299
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: say this, watching practice on a Wednesday did seem like

300
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: it was more players out there, more name players that

301
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,119
Speaker 1: they weren't a lot of missing piece who are eligible

302
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: to be on the practice field. No, that days, everyone

303
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: was present and accounted for outside of a Rondel Moore

304
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: and a Rashod Coward. I think, two, you're coming off

305
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: the bye week, You've had that extra time to rest up.

306
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: Now the players were still being active. It's not like

307
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: they all just did nothing besides the couch potatoes. Like

308
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: you and I probably were more me than you probably. Now,

309
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Sunday being on the couch, dozing

310
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: in and out of a nap, just going football game

311
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: to football game was I love my job, and I

312
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: love being able to work on NFL game days, but

313
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: being able to spend a Sunday that way that was

314
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: pretty great. So you're saying you spent some quality family

315
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: time with you just sitting on the couch watching Well,

316
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: the rest of my family was in the living room

317
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: and they were also physically there, so conversing with the

318
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: family while when I was awake. Yes, my point being though,

319
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: that they've had that extra time to rest and recover

320
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals players have, so you know, I would not

321
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: expect of that day. I would not expect a walk

322
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: through the way that they've had the last couple of

323
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: practice weeks leading up to games to try and get healthy.

324
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: At that point has come now with this late by,

325
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: you want to share with everyone what you said to

326
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: me as we walked out to Wednesday's practice. I don't know,

327
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: I say a lot of things, do you true? You do?

328
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: How different and I can't remember the correct phrasing, but

329
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: just how odd it was to be outside because this

330
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: was the first I went back, how to look at it,

331
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: who was the first practice since the day after Thanksgiving?

332
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: It almost felt like the off season, like the like

333
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: OTAs or minicamp or something of like I was thinking,

334
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: when was the last time we were out here? It

335
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: just felt like so long since we have seen a practice,

336
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: and I guess I was right. Well in that practice

337
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: the day after Thanksgiving followed two days of walkthroughs, So

338
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: this team just has not had a lot of practice time,

339
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: either because of not enough bodies or just the way

340
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: the schedule played out. I mean, coming off the Mexico

341
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: City game, that was a short week and was really

342
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: short because the team and yourself included, didn't arrive back

343
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: until five am on Tuesday, and yeah, Tuesday became a

344
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: workday for the coaches and the players didn't return until Wednesday.

345
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, that was and that felt like a long

346
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: week just because of everything that happened, more off the

347
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: field than on the field. Yeah, that's sure. That was.

348
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: That honestly feels like forever ago, much longer than it

349
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: actually has been. So it was good to kind of

350
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: get back into this routine and even still the routine

351
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: this week is thrown off a little bit with a

352
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: Monday night game. I know, I was walking around on

353
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: Tuesday and I was talking to someone in the press

354
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: conference room about how it was Monday and the timing

355
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: everything was like wait a second, And even Kelvin was

356
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: saying to me today after practice, like I am just

357
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: so thrown off, Like one day makes such a difference

358
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: in these schedules. And the team will practice Wednesday, Thursday,

359
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: nothing scheduled as far as media availability on Friday, but

360
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: a Saturday practice off Sunday or walk through Sunday in

361
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: the game on Monday. So yeah, this has been certainly

362
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: and when your routine based, as NFL players are, I

363
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: mean you can mark it down on your calendar once

364
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: the season begins, that you know what you're gonna do

365
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: every single day, and for it to throw you off

366
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: just one single day and all of a sudden you're like, Okay,

367
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: I have no idea what day it is, first of all,

368
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: and in two what are we doing on this day?

369
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: And that was something that if I'm remembering correctly from

370
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: the Hard Knocks episode, it might have been the most

371
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: recent one when they were at Antonio Hamilton's house and

372
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: they were looking at the schedule. I think they were

373
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: looking around the time between the Mexico City game and

374
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: then the Chargers game, and how he normally had like

375
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: a massage or a chiropractor on one day and then

376
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: he forgot that he had to change it because the

377
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: week was different, Like it's one day makes all the difference.

378
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: By the way, congratulations to Antonio Hamilton. His baby boy

379
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: was born during the bye week. And as our colleague

380
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: Darren Urban pointed out on social media, Cardinal players are

381
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: three for three for having kids without missing a game.

382
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: You know what, they're their wives there? Why three for three?

383
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: Jay watt zach Ertz and Antonio Hamilton. Yes, yes, So

384
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: the timing has been good. Now the question is can

385
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: the timing be good for this Cardinals team to finish strong?

386
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: And that's been the knock on these teams under head

387
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury. How do you finish now It's only

388
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: a five game sample size, but five games with the

389
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: chance to go above five hundred and at least at

390
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: least look better than you have over these first twelve games.

391
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: And I think people are waiting, and we hear it

392
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: each and every week, and Cliff is absolutely correct, although

393
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: I know it falls on deaf air. Sometimes they still

394
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: have not played their best football. Maybe a series or two,

395
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: a quarter a half, but not a full four quarters.

396
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: And that's simply not good enough. But that is a

397
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: good point you bring up, Crag that not performing well

398
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: down the stretch has been a problem for this team.

399
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: I really should say for the organization, I guess because

400
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: it's been the last couple of years, not just this

401
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: team this year specifically. And you know, even if you're

402
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: mathematically out of the playoffs, what you put on film matters.

403
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: How this team decides to finish these final five games

404
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: matters every player, every coach. Every week, you are playing

405
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: and coaching for your job. And I think that's been

406
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: proven with what's been going on around the league the

407
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: last couple of days. Really is is seeing that, And

408
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: so I do think it's important that this team finishes strong.

409
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: I think you need to prove that you can break

410
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: that cycle of finishing strong in the regular season these

411
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: last couple of home games. Getting those wins at State

412
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: Farm Stadium, I think is huge, especially for the fans.

413
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: And I also just think that you know, they have

414
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: to think about, you know, what type of player do

415
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: I want to be what type of teammate? How do

416
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: I want to finish the season that way that the

417
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: person that I'm sitting next to in the locker room,

418
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't want them to think that I'm not giving

419
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: my all, and so what's the point of them going

420
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: out there and giving my all? Like you have to

421
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: be a good teammate, you have to finish strong physically

422
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: and mentally. And I do think that's probably the biggest

423
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: hurdle for this team, and especially looking at the team

424
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: that they're playing the last five weeks, is the mental

425
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: side of things and not tripping over yourself and getting

426
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: caught up in the what ifs and all these scenarios.

427
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: And I do think that that's been a big reason

428
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: as to why they've had self inflicting wounds or why

429
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: when you have the lead you can't hold onto it.

430
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: I think that's all mental. Each season is its own season,

431
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: but I do believe that individually you can carry over

432
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 1: from one season to the next and over these five games.

433
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: And I think the number one thing everyone wants to

434
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: see is Kyler Murray become Kyler Murray as we saw

435
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: middle of last season, being the MVP conversation and work

436
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: on that chemistry with DeAndre Hopkins and Hollywood Brown. All

437
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: three of those players are going to be here next season.

438
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: Question is what is surrounding them, what's going to be

439
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: on defense? So as we look at these last five games,

440
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: outside of K one on offense, for you, Danny, who

441
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: is the one player, one position group, position unit that

442
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: you want to see really take a stand and step

443
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: up and then have that good feeling going into what

444
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: is probably going to be an ever evolving offseason for

445
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: this team. Momentum doesn't carry over season to season, but

446
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: confidence does, and I do think that's why it is

447
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: important that Kyler Murray gets back to the Kyler Murray.

448
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: We have seen the accuracy on the deep balls and

449
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: the quick decisiveness because I do think that having that

450
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: confidence is really important as a franchise quarterback, really any

451
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league, but outside of Kyler Murray. I

452
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: don't know if this is an unfair answer, but it

453
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: feels like the easy choice to say rookie tight end

454
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: Trey McBride of meeting more from him, He's in a

455
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: situation that I'm sure he and the coaching staff didn't

456
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: really expect him to be in the season of having

457
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: zach Ertz go down for the year, having Max Williams

458
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: not be as healthy as they probably expected. Who was

459
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: your blocking tight end? So it's really just been Tray

460
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 1: McBride and a little bit of Steven Anderson. And despite having,

461
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, the growing pains of being a rookie at

462
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: this point in the year, second round draft pick, you

463
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: would want to see more than maybe you're getting from

464
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: Trey McBride. And it's concerning to me. While tight ends

465
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: are usually not the positions that have the most depth,

466
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: it's a little concerning if you want to start looking

467
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: into the future. What you've seen was if your one

468
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: tight end and zach Ertz goes down, does that almost

469
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: completely eliminate the threat of that position? And to me,

470
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: that's kind of what it feels like. And I know

471
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: that might sound unfair of the difference of going from

472
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: zach Ertz to Tray McBride, because zach Ertz has been

473
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: in the league for so long and I don't need

474
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: to go over as accolades and what he brings the table.

475
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray even said in the offseason that he didn't

476
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: know the type of security blank at a tight end

477
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: could truly be until zach Ertz joined this team last season,

478
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: So I know that there's obviously going to be a

479
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: discrepancy between those two, But that would be a player

480
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: that I would want to see improvements on these last

481
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: five games to really know what you're working with in

482
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: the future. There is an expectation when you are selected

483
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: in the second round, and that's the same expectation that

484
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: I think Trey McBride has. But to your point, and

485
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: it was the same name I wrote down when I

486
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: looked at this offense. He's in a spot that neither

487
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: he nor the team expected him to be. But how

488
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: does he respond to being that starting tied end, being

489
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: the number one tied end? Because when you have a

490
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins on one side and a Hollywood Brown on

491
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: the other, that middle is wide open and it's perfect

492
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: for the tight end. Cliff Kingsbury has brought up how

493
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: much open space as zach Ertz would have had against

494
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: the Chargers. That needs to be now, Trey McBride to

495
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: be that underneath threat, if you will, that security blanket

496
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: that you brought up for Kyler Murray. Now Kyler has

497
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: asked about Tray McBride earlier said he's got all kinds

498
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: of confidence and Tray McBride, but at the same time, quote,

499
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: we got to get Trey going because they don't have

500
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: zach Ertz the rest of the season. Tray McBride is

501
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: not He's seen a lot of time, just hasn't seen

502
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: a lot of targets eight over the last three games

503
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: because you don't have a zach Ertz. But he needs

504
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: to I think step up, whether that's blocking, whether that

505
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: is receiving, and just being more involved and I think

506
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: being a targets of Kyler Murray. Now need to be

507
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: smart when you target Tray McBride. Because it was to

508
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: go back to the Chargers game, Trey McBride was targeted

509
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: twice in that fourth quarter, d Hop and Hollywood were

510
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: targeted to combine one time. Now that is where we

511
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: go back to your point about Kyler Murray in the

512
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: decision making. But I would like to see Trey McBride

513
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: if he is your second round pick in the future

514
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: at that position. Zach Ertz isn't our contract for two

515
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: more years, but there is no guarantee that he is

516
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: here for two years. Trey McBride will be here, and

517
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: I think It's a pretty similar but different mindset for

518
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: me when looking on the defense, because my answer I

519
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: thought about this would probably be Isaiah Simmons. And that's

520
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: because similar to what I was saying about with Kyler Murray,

521
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: I do think that confidence is really important, especially for

522
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: Isaiah who was benched for the first time in his

523
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: career at the start of the season. However, the way

524
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: he handled himself professionally and through practice is how we

525
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: earned back those snaps. But I think it's important to

526
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: see what you get out of him these final five

527
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: games when you're looking to how your defense in the

528
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: future looks. He has that unique skill set to play

529
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: anywhere on the field. Paul cobviously bringing him up again,

530
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: has dubbed him Isaiah Simmons. And he hasn't been working

531
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: as much with the linebackers this year. It was much

532
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: more with the safeties. That's the room he's been working

533
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: and that's the position room, and it's been an adjustment

534
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: to say the least. And I don't think that's because

535
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah doesn't have the skills to be to excel at

536
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: what they are wanting him to do. I just think

537
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: it's taking a little bit longer mentally to know where

538
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: he needs to be, because we heard on the Hard

539
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: Knocks episode when he was talking to DB's coach Marcus

540
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: robertson up saying, you know, he was saying to Isaiah,

541
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: you play so much better when you don't have to

542
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: think about what you're doing when you already know. And

543
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: so I think it's important to know what you have

544
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: in Isaiah Simmons when you're going to start looking to

545
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: the future of the defense of how are you going

546
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: to maybe not build around him, but what kind of

547
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: piece is he going to be for you? So you

548
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: know how you're going to build your DB's room, or

549
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: your linebackers room, or what kind of pass rushers you

550
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: might need. And so I think he plays a pretty

551
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: big role in what the future of this defense is

552
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: going to look like. So that's why it's important to

553
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: me to see consistent play and to see Isaiah really

554
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: continue to step up these final five games. It's a

555
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: good call on your part because it's the consistency that

556
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: this coaching staff has been talking about when it comes

557
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: to Isaiah Simmons. You can make the highlight reel, the

558
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Sports Center play, but are you where you're supposed to

559
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: be in just the routine, play the routine down. And

560
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm curious that conversation that Hard Knocks picked up between

561
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: he and Marcus robertson when that conversation took place. Was

562
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: it early in the season after Isaiah was benched or

563
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: was that more closer to that Hard Knocks episode going

564
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: into the Chargers game, because it was. You know, you're

565
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: drafted as a number one or the first round pick,

566
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: top ten because of your skill set, your success in college,

567
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: and then you come here and you're no longer that

568
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: big fish. You're among many big fish, and it's it

569
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: takes some time to figure out I got here, what

570
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: do I need to do to stay here? What is

571
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: my preparation is? What is my practice habits need to

572
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: be in order to be successful on Sunday? And I

573
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: think for Isaiah Simmons, it's taken him a little bit

574
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: longer than anyone would like. Realistically speaking it again, going

575
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: back to Trey McBride, there's an expectation you're a first

576
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: round draft pick. We should not wait this long, and

577
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: that's just the way we are as a society. No

578
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: faults of Isaiah Simmons, but that's the position you were

579
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: put in, and you're right, because if Isaiah Simmons is

580
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: going to be in that secondary or is he going

581
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: to be on the edge, then that trickle down is, Okay,

582
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: what do we need in the off season, draft free

583
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: agency to compliments the skill set of an Isaiah Simmons.

584
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: And this is going to be the time until May

585
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: if the Cardinals decide whether or not they're going to

586
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: want to pick up Isaiah's fifth year options. So there's

587
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: just there's going to be a lot of decisions based

588
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: around I think you know his player overall, but the

589
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: way he plays his final five games, I think could

590
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: hold a lot of weight. The other two players that

591
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: I wrote down, and I think they're just in sync

592
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: because they're both third round draft picks. They both play

593
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: the edge, and that is Cameron Thomas and my J Sanders.

594
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: They each have two sacks. They are your leading sack masters,

595
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: if you will, from the outside linebacker room, which is

596
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: not good when you have a Marcus Gold and a

597
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: Dennis Gardak who have been here and know this defense.

598
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: But it goes back to what you were saying, do

599
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: you need an edge rusher in the offseason? If Thomas

600
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: and or Sanders can show you here these last five

601
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: games that they can handle that role, that position, because

602
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: it is a need. This team does not have a

603
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: lot of sacks. When J. J. Watt and Zach Allen

604
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: are your number one and number two leaders in sacks,

605
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: good for them where they play with their hand in

606
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: the dirt and that's not good. You need that outside

607
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: pressure to get that quarterback office spot. It hasn't happened

608
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: enough this season. Quarterbacks have been too come against this

609
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense. Yeah, another position that's you know, the future.

610
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: I think they're going to look at these last couple

611
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: of games specifically and make a lot of decisions based

612
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: off that. So I like that three players that really

613
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: actually four Trey McBride on offense, Isaiah Simmons, Cameron Thomas,

614
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: and my J Sanders. Yeah, young players, because that's what

615
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: this league is based on. It's the youth. Unless you

616
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: get to a quarterback that is in their tenth, twelfth

617
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: year and you can play for a long period of time.

618
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: But important five games here, not just for those players

619
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: that we talked about, but I think for a lot

620
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: of players again, are you here next season? Are you

621
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: elsewhere next season? Are you not even in the league?

622
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: Next season. Yeah, a lot of questions. That's why it's

623
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: so important of whether or not the playoff hopes are

624
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: still alive after this week. There's definitely still plenty to

625
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: be playing. Four. I want to go back before we

626
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: close up shop here on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday,

627
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. One reminder support this

628
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: year's drive presented by a Desert Financial Credit Union. Prior

629
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: to the Monday night game against the Patriots, bring a

630
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: new unwrapped toy to the game and drop it off

631
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: at a location point outside State Farm Stadium. There are

632
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: location points all over the stadium and the toy drive

633
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: benefits Arizona Helping Hands. You brought up Kelvin Beacham and

634
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: your sideline exchange, which can be found on asy cardinals

635
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: dot com and all the social platforms as well. I

636
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: cannot say enough good things about Kelvin Beecham and what

637
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: he has done for this organization on and off the field.

638
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: Thirty three years old. Does he want to play next season?

639
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: If he does, what do the Cardinals do in response?

640
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: Given their situation at the tackle spot? But Kelvin Beacham

641
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: to me, I think has really stepped forward in that

642
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: offensive line room and the entire locker room as well,

643
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: based off of what has happened this season being that voice,

644
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: if you will, especially in the old line room, and

645
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: not just leading by example in terms of the locker

646
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: room and that you know, going onto the field, but

647
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: also what he does in the community. He does so

648
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: much work in the community. That's how he spent majority

649
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: of his bye week and you can hear more about

650
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: the projects he's passion about on what he's working on

651
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: in the sideline exchange interview. Cardinals fans, you can also

652
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: vote for Calvin Beecham as well as the other Cardinals

653
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: that are eligible for the Pro Bowl games in Vegas

654
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: and February. You can vote on NFL dot Com or

655
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: you can go on Twitter. You can either tag the

656
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: player or simply type their name along with the hashtag

657
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Vote. The latest voting results released on Wednesday,

658
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker for the second straight week, continues to lead

659
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: all NFC safeties. JJ Watt in the top ten for

660
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: NFC defensive linemen and outside of those two, maybe a

661
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: Calvin Beecham should be a part of that discussion. I

662
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: don't know if there's many more players that are really worthy.

663
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is ineligible based off his suspension to begin

664
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: the season. That are just not a lot of players

665
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: that are having Pro Bowl caliber seasons. And that goes

666
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: back to when you're four and eight, you really don't

667
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 1: have anyone that's played that well, because if they were,

668
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: you had more than you'd be eight and four as

669
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: opposed to four and eight. Yeah, there are still things

670
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: that can happen. Whichever two teams go to the Super

671
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: Bowl don't participate in the Pro Bowl Game, so that

672
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: you have alternates that go in. And the votes come

673
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 1: from players, coaches, and fans all like. So your vote matters.

674
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: And you can also write in Danny Serek if you

675
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: want to as well. Well, I don't know that that

676
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: vote matters, but if you feel that way, go ahead

677
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: and let me know every vote matters. We should all

678
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: know that every vote matters. So yeah, just write in Danny.

679
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: It's by the way, it's d n I make sure
