1
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Welcome bird gang. We've reached the end of the week,

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: which means only one thing. It's a football Friday on

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: today's show. Not since twenty fifteen have the Cardinals started

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: a season three and zero. That's what's at stake on Sunday.

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: So what needs to happen? What do the Cardinals need

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: to do to remain undefeated and more importantly, avoid the

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: proverbial trap game. The answers straight ahead. It's Cardinals Cover two,

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Episode four seventy two, and it starts now. Welcome to

00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: dot Com, Slash Podcasts, Going for Hopkins one hand to

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: catch it a muchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's Craig Griolou and Mikereckie.

14
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

15
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: You've heard that same before, right m J. I have,

16
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals right now, I think we want to

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: know have they learned from their own history? That's what

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: we want to find out this week. This team in

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: the exact same position two and oh a year ago,

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: and they lost to a less talented team in Detroit.

21
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Here they are again two and oh, playing a less

22
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: talented team in Jacksonville. I will say this though, it

23
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: seems like they have a great leadership in the locker room,

24
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: and they were given the game last week by a

25
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: missfield goal. Yes, they did play better in the second half,

26
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: but ultimately they came down to the Vikings missing the

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: field goal. So if that didn't get their attention, I

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: don't know what will. And I want to see much

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: more from the defense, especially when it comes to a run.

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: We'll get into some of the details here. But they

31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: learned a lesson, hopefully. You know the way the season ended,

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: and when they got off to a two and old start,

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: beaten the forty nine ers on the road home and

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: beat the Washington football team. They should have won the

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Detroit game, they didn't, and then they went to Carolina

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: and his thought they had a step on the field

37
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: and Teddy Bridgewater beat him. So you've hoped they learned

38
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: a lesson, But it wasn't like they had a walk

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: in the park last week. They got back to basics

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: in practice, you know, staying in your gaps, gap discipline,

41
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, doing your job. So we'll see if it works.

42
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: But you know, on paper, Cardinals should win this game,

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: but we know what's the NFL, and they say any

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: given Sunday, So I'm going to go with that until

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: they get the W And everyone said the exact same

46
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: thing this week with respects to that. As far as

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: trap game with the Rams looming in week four, I

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: liked what Christian Kirk had to say. He mentioned that

49
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: they've got a motto in the wide receiver's room don't

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: take the cheese. In other words, don't buy any of

51
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: the hype or rankings or whatever positives that people are

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: saying about us right now. End quote. And the any

53
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: given Sunday is something that Humphries DJ Humphries brought up

54
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: as well on Friday, and he's exactly right. If you think,

55
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: in his words, you're hot stuff, you get whooped, and

56
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: it happens. It happens every year. There's always a game

57
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: that you look either it's your own team or a

58
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: team you follow, or it's it's it's a game that

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: you're looking at the scores and you see, like you

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: scratch is like, how did that team lose to that team?

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: You just don't want the Cardinals in Week three to

62
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: be that team in which people are scratching there and going,

63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: how do you beat the Titans on the road? How

64
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: do you beat the Vikings? Regardless of how it happened,

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: it's a win. And then travel, yes, clear across country

66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville to play a Jaguars team that is winless.

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: How do you lose that game? For me, m J,

68
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: I totally understand it, but from an outsider's perspective, I

69
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: never put on a uniform. There is zero, I'm going

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: to repeat zero excuse for this Cardinals team to lose

71
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And I don't think the fan base realizes

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: how difficult it is in the NFL to win three

73
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: in a row. And it's worse when you lose three

74
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: in a row. I mean it usually in this case,

75
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: they had to go on the road twice out of

76
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: the first three games. Normally, if you win, you have

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: two of your first three at home, maybe you know

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: you can get off to a good start. But it

79
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: is difficult. And yes, they are playing Jacksonville, and just

80
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: like we said, based on what happened with Tennessee with

81
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: Covid and guys not playing in the preseason. Maybe the

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals are catching the Jaguars at a good time because

83
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: I gotta think by week six, seven and eight, as

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: long as they can keep Trevor Lawrence upright, they're gonna

85
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: be a better football team. Things are gonna start to

86
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: slow down. Urban Meyer is going to get a more

87
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: adjustment to the game. But I'm with you. I mean,

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: you know, again, the game's not played on paper, and

89
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: they need to go in there and be physical, get

90
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: after them, and if you get a lead, you know,

91
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: step on the throat. And that's what good teams do

92
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: when maybe you didn't play your best game. And we're

93
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: still able to win the first quarter, maybe even the

94
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: first possession, first play of the game. As we've seen

95
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: through the first two weeks at the Titans, Chandler Jones

96
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 1: tackle for loss. Last week against the Vikings, Dalvin Cook

97
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: plus eleven yards. That can't happen. We can't have a

98
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: repeat of the first half from the Vikings game. So

99
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: all right, let's get into it here on Cardinals Cover

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: two presented by Honday, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals.

101
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals looking to go three n O. They have not

102
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: started a season three and oh since twenty fifteen, So

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: that's what's on the table here. And also, depending on

104
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: when this game might end on Sunday, perhaps to become

105
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: the second team in the league this year to go

106
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: three and oh after the Carolina Panthers one on Thursday

107
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: Night Football. So Mike Jarecki's three keys for a victory,

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: plus the always popular X factor, and we'll also get

109
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: into some injury items as well. But for you, mj

110
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: number one key for the Cardinals to beat the Jaguars

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Well, I want to go back to what

112
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,119
Speaker 1: they did against the Titans, and you know, Delvin Cook

113
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: and we talked about they were desperate and they didn't

114
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: want to drop the Owen two when they got to

115
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: play the Seahawks and the Browns. So my number one

116
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: key is the front seven contained the Jags running game

117
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: and forced them to be one dimensional. Now, James Robinson,

118
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: he put up big numbers last year, He's only had

119
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: sixteen carries for seventy two yards, averaging four pop. Trevor

120
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence has only ran three for nineteen yards. He's kind

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: of in a you know, he's kind of in a

122
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: box where they want him to check the ball down

123
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: and then they want him to run. Now, they've thrown

124
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: the ball eighty four times compared to thirty two rushes.

125
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: So to me and urban Meyer maintained this week they

126
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: would like to be fifty fifty, but when you're trailing behind,

127
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: that's going to be the case. So you know Lawrence's

128
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's had four touchdowns and five interceptions in

129
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: two games. He was fourteen to thirty two. So to me,

130
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: put the onus on the quarterback. But you have to

131
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: stop the game. And last week we know that they

132
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: weren't disciplined enough upfront. Yes, in the second half they

133
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: made changes, but I don't think he wanted to see

134
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: this team hang around. You and defensive coordinator Vans Joseph

135
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: very similar and you're thinking because wall for coach Joseph,

136
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: it's every week is stop the run. But he was

137
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: adamant on Thursday when he addressed the media that that

138
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: is the focus, that is the emphasis. This week. He

139
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: was not pleased with how the defense came out in

140
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: the first half against the Vikings and got run over.

141
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: Things changed and the second half and you hope that

142
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: those adjustments or whatever was done don't need to be

143
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: made this week, that you go into the game with

144
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: the correct game plan and everyone knowing what their assignment is,

145
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: what their role is, and then you're able to get

146
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: this Jaguars offense one dimensional. Yeah, and next week it

147
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: could be the key is going to be stopping Aaron

148
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: Donald or Jalen Ramsey. It could be, you know, getting

149
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford off a spot because they do have a

150
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: run game, but we know they're so prolific throwing the football,

151
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: so changes every week. It's just going into the season.

152
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: These is the first two games I thought really good

153
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: running backs. And then you know, obviously when you look

154
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: at this situation with Robinson, he's very capable of getting

155
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: to the second layer and they haven't done that yet.

156
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: So again, just stay in your gaps, everyone play as

157
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: a group and try to force them on first and

158
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: second down to a passing down on third down, and

159
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: that's where they probably possibly could tee off at. Again,

160
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: we can't expect Chandler Jones to get five sacks every game.

161
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. Be realistic. If this team

162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: can get four or five sacks I think that will

163
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: go a long way. Gotta be honest, I've not seen

164
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: a lot of James Robinson just looking at some of

165
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: the numbers, and it's very good. I mean for a

166
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent a year ago to put up some

167
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: numbers like he did and then coming into this game

168
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: averaging four and a half yards a pop. It's his

169
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: ability to catch the ball out of the backfield as well.

170
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Did not see that so much last week with Dalvin

171
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: Cook and obviously Derek Henry is more run up between

172
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: the tackles, But pay attention to where Robinson is because

173
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: if you get too aggressive and you're out of your lanes,

174
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: if you will, and then all of a sudden, Robinson

175
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: might be able to slip out of the backfield and

176
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: put up some nice numbers because he is that dual

177
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: threat if you And maybe amongst these three first running

178
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: backs that the Cardinals have faced, the one that is

179
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: that dual threat. Yeah, so that's what I think. Again,

180
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: the front seven contained the Jags running game and forcing

181
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: them to be one dimensional. Now Number two for me

182
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: is the Cardinals rushing attack needs to be on point

183
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: if they want to utilize the play action against the Jags.

184
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: Front seven. Now, the Jags held the Texans to three

185
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: point two four yards per carry in Week one, they

186
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: held Denver's running backs to three point six five, So

187
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: they done had a really good job keeping, you know,

188
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: maybe Denver into passing situations. We'll get into some of

189
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: the numbers what Teddy Bridgewater was able to do, but

190
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty stout. And you know their defensive coordinator, he

191
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: used to be in Baltimore, so I'm sure they're trying

192
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: to find a way to shut Kyler Murray down or

193
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: at least put a spy at him. So to me,

194
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: I think Miles Jack number forty four will draw that assignment.

195
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,479
Speaker 1: Listening to Urban Meyer, they play on Thursday against Cincinnati,

196
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: so he doesn't know how much time they're going to

197
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: be able to focus on that. Jack has nine tackles,

198
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: one tackle for law, zero quarterback hits, but he seems

199
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: like he's the guy in the middle there, so they

200
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: could try to put a spy. But I think the

201
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: Cardinals need to be on point when it comes to

202
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: running the football and then it will utilize the play

203
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: action and I think that's where Kyler Murray can attack

204
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: that secondary. Would love to see Chase Edmonds or James

205
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: Conner really have a solid game on Sunday. We've seen

206
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: them both have their moments. Through the first two games.

207
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: It's been more about the passing attack. But you look

208
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: at what this team has been able to do running

209
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: the football over four yards a Kerry and Edmonds at

210
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: five and a half yards every time he touches the football.

211
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: I'd love to be able to see this team establish

212
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: the run early in the game. It goes a little

213
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: bit against what they tipically. Do you throw early, get

214
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: a lead, and then you can run out the clock

215
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: as they did in Week one. But let's see what

216
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds is made up. Can he get that fifteen

217
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: twenty carry game and then run it like he wants

218
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: to and get a little bit of a lather to

219
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: where he's better as the game goes on. Yeah, And

220
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you look at James Conner three

221
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: three point three. You know he carried the ball thirteen

222
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: times in that fourth quarter against the Titans, So you know,

223
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: maybe his average per carry may not be high, but

224
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to short yard situation, he has the

225
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: ability to break to the second layer and you got

226
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: probably utilize him if you're somewhere on the red zone,

227
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: even though you know Cliff went a little trickery with

228
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Lucky Foe two and J. J. Watton and Murray just

229
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: walked into the end zone. So yeah, I mean it's

230
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: I like the one two punch and then the wild

231
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Cards Kyle of Murray and we know that he can run,

232
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: and whether it's a design run or just trying to

233
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: get out of traffic, and you know, Love, it's gonna

234
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: have to do with Hopkins being on the field, and

235
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: we think he's both both of us think he's gonna

236
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: play a j Green to me, still learning the offense,

237
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: but he's capable stretching the field. And then all of

238
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: a sudden you got the two inside guys. So I'd

239
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals offense as a whole, but I just

240
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: want them to see be a little bit more consistent

241
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: across the board. You are always quick to bring up

242
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: Kyler when it comes to the run game, and it's

243
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: fair because I'll not that I forget, but you look

244
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: at the running back position and you kind of forget that.

245
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, by the way, you also have a third

246
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: running back in that backfield. Really, because Kyler Murray can

247
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: make you pay although I'll say this, he's only carried

248
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: the ball ten times five in each game. I'm a

249
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: big fan of those low numbers because he's running when

250
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: he has to or, in the case of the design

251
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: run that scored the touchdown against the Vikings, when he

252
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: sees something or the offense sees something that they can

253
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: exploit defensively. But if this Jaguars team tries to do

254
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: their best to cover everyone as far as the weapons

255
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: are concerned, there might be some openings for Kyler Mury

256
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: do get some yards, maybe not just any yards, but

257
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: some chunk yards with his feet. Yeah. Well, if you

258
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: go back to the Titans game in the fourth quarter,

259
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean James Conner had thirteen in those carries. If

260
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: they were trailing or it was a tight game, maybe

261
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: Murray gets some more runs. You pointed out correctly that

262
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: he had three negated runs. I want to say twelve, fifteen,

263
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: and maybe eighteen, so that those numbers would go up.

264
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: Last game. He had to do them a little bit

265
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: of both. But in the fourth quarter when they had

266
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: that big lead, he wasn't going to run. That's probably

267
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: a smart decision on the coaching staff. Yeah. Just look, well,

268
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: he'd like to see Kyler Murray turned the hand the

269
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: ball off, whether that's under center, out of the shotgun.

270
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: He's got two very capable running backs with Edmonds and

271
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: Connor Quick. As we bring up this run game, let's

272
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: touch on some of these injuries that we do need

273
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: to pay attention to. One is right tackle Calvin Beecham.

274
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: Now he did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He was

275
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: on the field on Friday. Kingsbury says he's a game

276
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: day decision. And really, when you're dealing with a rib

277
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: injury in according to DJ Humphreys, it's a fractured rib

278
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: or fractured ribs and Beacham really toughed it out last

279
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: week against the Vikings and then had to tap out

280
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: at halftime, and we saw Justin Murray play the balance

281
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: of the game. So it seems to me, MJ. When

282
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about a rib injury and again don't know

283
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: you know how many broken ribs or what exactly it is,

284
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: just based off what Humphreys had to say on Friday,

285
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: probably more of a pain tolerance than anything else. And

286
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: I've never had a rib injury, but just from hearing people,

287
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: it's not so much that you can't run or move

288
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: around it. It hurts to breathe, and that becomes once

289
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: again going back to the pain tolers, how much can

290
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: you handle? And when you're an offensive lineman and you're

291
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: pushing and you're having someone push you back in your chest,

292
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: literally in the rib cage, that can be very difficult.

293
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: So props to Beacham for hanging in as much as

294
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: you can, but it is something to pay attention to.

295
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: If the Cardinals have to switch and go with Justin

296
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: Murray at right tackle. Yeah, and we've seen Brian Winner's play.

297
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: We've seen Justin Murray play Xcar Sire hasn't really gotten

298
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: out there. We've seen a couple of extra tight ends

299
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: at times. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if there's

300
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: something else they can put on the rib you know,

301
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: clearly the jerseys so tight because they don't want the

302
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: defensor players to grab the jersey, you know, to pain

303
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: tolerance thing. You know, I don't know if guys take medicine.

304
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming if he feels like he can go,

305
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: then we'll just have to wait and see. But they're

306
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: a better team when he's out there, just based on experience,

307
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: the chemistry he has you know now at right guard

308
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: with Josh Jones. They pretty much were there the entire

309
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: training camp. So we'll just have to wait and see.

310
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think all hands on deck if

311
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: he can't play all four quarters. I do give him

312
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: credit for obviously trying to go out there and do it.

313
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: At some point they may have to say, let's just

314
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: shut him down, but I don't think they're at that

315
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: point right now, all right. And then the other injury

316
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: that you referenced, DeAndre Hopkins, he too dealing with rib injuries.

317
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: He was not spotted on the practice field at all

318
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: this week. For me, not a concern. All go on

319
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: record saying I'd be more surprise stunned if number ten

320
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: was not in uniform versus if he was in uniform.

321
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: Last year, we got very familiar with DeAndre Hopkins taking

322
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: Wednesday off as far as a Veterans day or just

323
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: something that he does because he knows his body. And

324
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: I believe there was at least one week he did

325
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: not practice at all, and I don't remember what the

326
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: week was one or what the injury was too. But

327
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: he always shows up on game day. He is always

328
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: available on Sunday. That's your best ability availability. So I

329
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: do think DeAndre Hopkins plays this week. Kingsbury again called

330
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: him a game day decision. Wouldn't deviate anything more than

331
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: nets and we you said what A. J. Green had

332
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: to say as far as de hop don't miss games.

333
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: So I'm not expecting de Hoop to miss a game. Yeah,

334
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: and you know this is a long flight. They're leaving

335
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: on a Friday afternoon. So if it was more of

336
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: like an ankle injury or you know, maybe something that

337
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: can swell up, I mean, I don't know how much

338
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: the ribs would be able to swell up versus you know,

339
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: if you have like a a growing injury to where

340
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: you really can't move. He should be at a walk

341
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. So again, I'm not concerned

342
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: with the flight, and he'll probably go out there and

343
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: work out, but you know, tomorrow I'll likely have a walkthrough,

344
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: and you know, he knows that he knows the game plan,

345
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: and they'll obviously feeding stuff that he needs to know

346
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: before going in the game. But I anticipate him being

347
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: out there. This guy, you know, he's one of the

348
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: best players in the league. He's only missed two games

349
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: in his career and one was only for injury, so

350
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. And listen, the Cardinals got

351
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: three tough games coming up after this, but they gotta

352
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: win this one first. All right. If it is a

353
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: big if, but let's play the one if game here

354
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: for a moment here on Cardinals Cover two, presented by

355
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: Hunday Proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. If Hopkins is unavailable,

356
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: if he is deemed inactive ninety minutes before kickoff, you

357
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: got a J. Green, you got Christian Kirk, you got

358
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: Ron del Moore. What do you do with those pieces?

359
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: And then obviously you're gonna need someone else active or able. Remember,

360
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: Antoine Wesley is available. He was activated off the reserve

361
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen lists this week. He is available. And you

362
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: look at the depth chart. He is Hopkins's backup. The

363
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: less pieces you can move around, perhaps the better. Is

364
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: it simply Wesley becomes that one wide receiver on the left,

365
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: AJ Green on the right, and then everything just settles

366
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: into place, or do you elevate Green to the left

367
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: side because that's quote unquote the number one wide receiver

368
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: and then perhaps maybe Christian Kirk back outside. He's been

369
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: very good MJ though playing inside again, a lot of

370
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: moving parts. If that's the decision the Cardinals choose to go,

371
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: there's one option and then there's a second option. Well,

372
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: he didn't mention Andy Isabella. Now, I mean if they

373
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: go heavy at wide receiver, if they dress six, then

374
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: that clearly there is some concern that Cop can't finish.

375
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: But usually you address five and Wesley he's just coming back.

376
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we know how much you know

377
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella mis those two preseason games. But I mean

378
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: Isabella does have the speed. He obviously he's not the

379
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: same route runners hop and maybe you can move aj

380
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: Green at around a little bit. But you know that's

381
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: maybe where they go more twelve personnel. You know, try

382
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: to get big and run the football and you utilize

383
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: the play action, try to get the tight ends involved.

384
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: But I just have to wait and see. I guess

385
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: if they make a roster move, but you know, we'll

386
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: see if they dress five or six. But I would

387
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: think Isabella is the guy just based on he can

388
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: play on the outside and he could take the top off,

389
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: he can move around. I'm not moving Christian Kirk and

390
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: Ron Delmore. Just let those guys settle into their spots

391
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: because I think we see the upside. So you'd slide

392
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: either Isabella to the left side or the right side

393
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: as an outside wide receiver and keep more And I

394
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: like that, keep more Kirk where they're successful or we've

395
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: seen them be successful so far. Even though Kirk has

396
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: the ability to do both, I'm sure Ron del Moore

397
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: has the ability to do both. In fact, we've seen

398
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: these guys line up in different spots left side, right side, inside, outside,

399
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: so they're interchangeable to a certain extent. But where are

400
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: you most successful? Where do you more talented? Where do

401
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: you have the matchups that's to your to your advantage.

402
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: And I do think the less you can change, the

403
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: better this offense will. Yeah, and along those lines, I mean,

404
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: we know that Kirk, you know, is playing his natural position,

405
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's going to be based on the formation.

406
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: You know, the coverage and you know, I'm sure he

407
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: can slide out in a pinch. But the idea thing

408
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: is is to kind of keep those guys where they are,

409
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: and because now they're on film and teams have to

410
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: defend them. Now if you know, if he moves around them,

411
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: maybe even more difficult. But the whole key years. If

412
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: Hopkins plays, everything will be settled with the wide receiver position.

413
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: And I like your note about the time, and maybe

414
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: utilize them more. Maybe Demitrius Harris, who is that big

415
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: target and almost looks like a tall wide receiver who

416
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: has the ability to block. So and Max's coming off

417
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: a great game and maybe they're going to defend him

418
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: a little bit different. You know, Kyler's made it a

419
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: priority to try to get better from eleven th nineteen yards. Yes,

420
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: we like the splash plays, but sometimes you got to

421
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: just grind it out if you don't have your number

422
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: one wide receiver. All right, So just again it's it's

423
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 1: a big if berg gang not expecting it, but it's

424
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: worth discussing here as we do on the Football Friday

425
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday proud partner of the

426
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. All right, didn't mean to get sidetracked there,

427
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: but let's go back three keys for victory. Number one,

428
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: front seven against the Jaguars run and just getting pressure

429
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: on one the running back and then getting pressure on

430
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and then making him one dimension exactly key

431
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: number two the Cardinals run game. All right, so that's

432
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: one and two. What's number three? And the reason why

433
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned the run game is just how well they

434
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: played against you know, and Denver's got some backs. I mean,

435
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Denver's got a lot of speed on the outside. The

436
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: other one would be a I want to get pressure

437
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: on Lawrence. Now, when you look at it last week,

438
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, they kind of struggled. You know,

439
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: maybe Chubb wasn't in there for every down, but you know,

440
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: last week I thought the Vikings, which they weren't known

441
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: for their offensive line, I think, you know, I want

442
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: to see more from J. J. Watt. I know it's

443
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: only a couple of games, and I don't really pay

444
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: attention to the pro football focus because you know, when

445
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: you're in the fifties and all that. My eyes tell

446
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: me he's still making plays. But I want to see

447
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: more impact plays. Now. Again, it's only the third game.

448
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: But if he's not getting double's team as much, and

449
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: you know teams are gonna double Chandler, somebody else has

450
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: come up and make a play. It could be Buddha Baker,

451
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: it could be Isaiah Simmons, it could be Zaving Collins.

452
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: So I just feel like you know, with the young

453
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: quarterback and still kind of finding his way around make

454
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: him uncomfortable. But we need other guys to step up

455
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: besides Chandler Jones because if they want to double, that

456
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: means somebody else's free. So and Zach Allen, you know

457
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: he I thought maybe he didn't felt the stat sheet

458
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: in week one, but he did play well last week.

459
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: I thought he got pushed back a little bit. Maybe

460
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: it was just he was in the wrong area in

461
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: the gap. So I mean, again, you rely on your

462
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: five star players, but I like to see somebody else

463
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: make some impact plays to like what they had in

464
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: week one, and not just a normal Chandler Jones and

465
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: the Baker have somebody I want to see more from

466
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. Seven sacks for the Cardinals defense, five though

467
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: belong to Chandler Jones, Marcus Golden has the other, Michael

468
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: Dogby has one as well. What Chandler Jones did in

469
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: week one was phenomenal. We don't expect him to repeat that,

470
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: but we do expect him to get a sixth sack,

471
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: a seventh sack. We expect him to get those sacks

472
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: into double digits and maybe upper double digits. But to

473
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: your points about everyone else, and JJ Watt is, if

474
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: you're going to concentrate on fifty five and ninety nine,

475
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: that's fine, then someone else has to step up given

476
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: that opportunity. Can they get to the quarterback, Can they

477
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: get to the into the backfield and really make things

478
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: miserable for the Jaguars offensively, And again, it doesn't have

479
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: to be like five splash plays. I mean Corey Peters

480
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: the way he looks enough, he looks a lot slimmer

481
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: than he was a year ago. And Lucky only played

482
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: three snaps and I gotta think he may play more

483
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: just because they and try to run the ball, and

484
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: then you got Richard Lawrence, who they're really excited about.

485
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: So I just want to see other guys get their

486
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: hand in the pile, just because if they're going to

487
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: double certain players, that freeze everyone else up. And I think,

488
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: you know Vans will come up with a good game

489
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: plan to create pressure to get him off his spot,

490
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: but he'd like to see these guys win one on

491
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: one matchups where they don't have the blitz as much.

492
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: Quoting Marcus Golden from earlier in the week, Sometimes it's

493
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: about pressure getting them off their spot making sure he

494
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: ain't just sitting back there throwing through a clear path

495
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 1: end quote. As far as being disruptive without getting the

496
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: benefit of his sack, Yeah, we all focus on the sack,

497
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: but it's the quarterback hits. It's the pressures, the knockdowns,

498
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: the hurries, everything else that sometimes doesn't show up on

499
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: the stat sheet. And then you kind of get into

500
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: the metrics and after the fact, how well did the

501
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense get after that particular week's quarterback. And I

502
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: do think you will see Vance Joseph dial it up

503
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: and show a number of difference looks because you have

504
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback who has only seen two defenses so far

505
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: in two games. Now does what else can you show him?

506
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: Because I'm sure as much film as you watch, it's

507
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: much different when you get out on the football field

508
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden things are happening a lot

509
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: quicker and you're in the face of it because it's live,

510
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: immediate in front of you. Yeah, and the two quarterbacks

511
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: they faced in Week one and two, these are veteran guys.

512
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: You know. We always talk about Ryan Tinnell underrated, and

513
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: the Cardinals did a great job, you know, putting him

514
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: in third and long, and then we knew Kirk Cousins

515
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: can throw the ball, and you know, obviously three first

516
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: half touchdowns, So you're not getting the same experience there.

517
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: You're getting a guy that's still trying to find his vote.

518
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: So again, I think it's a good time that Cardinals

519
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: are catching the Jags, and I just you know, you

520
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: reference that the Jaguars offensive line did a very good

521
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: job against Von Miller and Bradley Chubb last week, but

522
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: can they do it again, because this is an offensive

523
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: line that a year ago was one of the worst.

524
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: They allowed forty four Saxon. All five Staughters are back

525
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: this season. Left tackle Cam Robinson, left guard Andrew Norwell,

526
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: center Brandon Linger, Linda, right guard Aj Cannon, right tackle

527
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: Jawan Taylor. Now Linda is dealing with a back injury,

528
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: can a hamstring issue, So they are less than one

529
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: hundred percent just three weeks into this regular season. And

530
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: that's a disappointing thing for me is they really didn't

531
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: address the offensive line. Now. I want to say, two

532
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: of those guys are coming off of injury from a

533
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: year ago, and they really didn't get a whole lot

534
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: of playing time in the preseason. So you know, when

535
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: you draft the quarterback first overall and then you draft

536
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Travis and etn in the late first round, I mean,

537
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: that's where you start building it. But we all know

538
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: this game is one of the trenches. And if Trevor

539
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: Lawrence is ever going to be successful, they have to

540
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: address you now. Norwell was one of the best guards

541
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: in football a couple of years ago. Again, he's not

542
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: as good as maybe he was in Carolina cam Robinson.

543
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: He's got all the talent in the world there, it's

544
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: just a matter of that. But they didn't get a

545
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: chance to play together as much as they need it.

546
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: And two of those guys, so I'm surprised. And they

547
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: could have drafted alignment and I think you mentioned one

548
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: the other day, but he's not ready to play right now.

549
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: So that's probably something that they're gonna have to try

550
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: to invest in, whether it's loading up in free agency,

551
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: but that you can't do that right now. Yeah, they

552
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: drafted Walker Little in the second round, although he's currently

553
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: on the reserve COVID nineteen lists, so not available. And

554
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: right tackle Joan Taylor last year allowed more pressures than

555
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: any other offensive tackle. And to your point, did they

556
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 1: do enough to address it. I don't think so, at

557
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: least on paper. Although again you look at last week

558
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: they held up very well and you know, a lot

559
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: better than they did Week one well. And the thing

560
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: is interesting is that must tells me because they're Broncos

561
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: secondary is really good. I mean, besides their pass rushers,

562
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: I mean their secondary, justin Simmons and the guys they

563
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: have back there. This is what Fangio wants. He did

564
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: the same thing in Chicago when he was a DC there.

565
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a matter of is Lawrence getting

566
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: rid of the ball quicker? They want him to check

567
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: it down more. I mean, it's kind of feast or

568
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: famine with him. They want on the run more. He

569
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: only ran three times for nineteen yards, and Isaiah said,

570
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: he can run. He's a big he's a big body.

571
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's just he's got to pick his spots.

572
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just these I just want to see

573
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: other guys step up. And again, it's not doesn't have

574
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: to be huge splash plays that you know, do your

575
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: part and it could be different guys on different downs. Obviously,

576
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: you're relying on your best players and hopefully you know

577
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: they can get that across the board, because I believe

578
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: they know that they put some bad tape out last

579
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: week and they want to improve. You mentioned Lawrence and

580
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: his ability to run. Simmons did call or he felt

581
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: he considered Trevor Lawrence a dual threats quarterback. I don't

582
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: know if I would go that far. I need to

583
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: see a little bit more. I mean, yeah, he's he's

584
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: all legs out there sometimes, and I just don't know

585
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: how how his mobility, how his quickness, which was very

586
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: good in college, stacks up in the NFL. Because case

587
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: in point, Kyler Murray thought he was very good as

588
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: far as an elusive quarterback his first two years, and

589
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: he realized very quickly those defensive ends, those outside linebackers,

590
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: they can chase you down. Yeah, I would think, you know,

591
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: because of his size. I don't know if he would

592
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: try to slide in the midfield, because that's a big body.

593
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: I would think that he's going to try to get

594
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: out of bounds. Buy sometime and just try to get

595
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: out of bounds. Now, if he is in the open field,

596
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: then now a DB's going to have to try to

597
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: tackle him. And again, you don't want him to put

598
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: himselves in Harm's way. It's a little bit different. When

599
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: Murray can get out of traffic. Murray can get out

600
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: of a phone booth. Okay, So I would think if

601
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: he's going to run, it's going to be to the

602
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: sidelines where it's a high percentage play instead of you

603
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: taking the sack or you know. I would think they

604
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: wanted to check it down first, and if that's not there,

605
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: then I obviously just run out of bounds. But I

606
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to run in the middle of field.

607
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. They could call draw for someone

608
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: and just right up because everyone's so focused on the

609
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: outside and the running game, so you never know. But

610
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think that he's going to run like Lamar Jackson,

611
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: even Patrick Mahomes or even Kyler Murray. Yeah, don't be surprised.

612
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: You're not expecting it. But as a defense, you have

613
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: to be prepared for if they over pursue. That's gonna

614
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: play right into their hand like a draw play because

615
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: they know they're coming. And it could be the running back.

616
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't think the quarterback, because again, I don't think

617
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: he wants to run in the middle of the field.

618
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: All right, Mike Drek he's three keys for a victory.

619
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: One make the Jaguars offense, one dimensional, shut the run

620
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: game down, number two Cardinals rushing game, and number three

621
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: pressure on Trevor Lawrence, which leads me to this MJ.

622
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: Because you get pressure on Trevor Lawrence who doesn't have

623
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: as much time in the pocket, you're not asking your

624
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: corners in that secondary to cover as much. Which brings

625
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: us to the other aspects of the injury reports, and

626
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: that is Byron Murphy and Marco Wilson, both dealing with

627
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: ankle injuries, both considered game day decisions. In the words

628
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: of Cliff Kingsbury, although he added about Murphy quote, I

629
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: feel good about him end quote. So that's very good

630
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: news because he is your number one corner. Marco Wilson

631
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: has been out on the practice field as well, limited

632
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: on Thursday, so I do like where they're ats. And

633
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: then there was this item and Kingsbury asked about Robert

634
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: Alford how he's looked through two games, and Kingsbury, I

635
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: think very honest that Alford is still trying to catch

636
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: up to the speed of the game, still playing well

637
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: a physical corner. The covered skills are there, but it's

638
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 1: two years off of game action on a Sunday, and

639
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: I think things will begin to slow down for him

640
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: or he'll catch up to the speed. Maybe that's this weeker.

641
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: Maybe it's something that happens, you know, slowly through the

642
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: first month of the regular season. But if you can

643
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: get some pressure on Lawrence, then all of a sudden,

644
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: you're not asking Alford to do as much or Wilson

645
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: or Murphy, especially considering their ankle injuries. Yeah, and you

646
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: look at Antonio Hamilton, I would think that you know,

647
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: he's You're gonna have to have four corners up depending

648
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: on if you know Wilson he was practicing, Byron Murphy

649
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: was out there on Friday, so that looks good on paper.

650
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I do think they'll have four corners

651
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: in this game, and I think Hamilton will be the fourth. Now,

652
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: maybe if they feel like they got to protect themselves,

653
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: it could be somebody else. But you know, Barco is

654
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: still on the roster, correct because he's been an act

655
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: of the last couple of games they didn't protect Ross

656
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: Suel Douglas. He's got some experience, so they have more

657
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: information than we do. So I anticipate they'll start they'll

658
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: trust four corners and then the wild card there would

659
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: be Isaiah Simmons. He can play a little bit in

660
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: the slot and you know, sometimes you want your safeties

661
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: to cover the tight end, but we know he can

662
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: do both of that. Yeah, Antonio Hamilton, I would expect

663
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: him to be elevated from the practice squad once again,

664
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: you do have take Gallan and Luke Barku, but I

665
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: just don't know if those guys already just yet. And

666
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: it's a good mentioned by you Isaiah Simmons, his ability

667
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: to cover wide receivers in the slot and also cover

668
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: the tight end. Maybe Zavian Collins as well, we know

669
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: his athleticism versus some of these Jaguar skillmakers. Maybe maybe

670
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: some more snaps for Collins in the I wouldn't say,

671
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, in a different role, but just the that

672
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: ability to adjust if needed depending on how the game

673
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: plays out, especially if Murphia Wilson tweak that ankle, and

674
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: especially you know, traveling across country, right, it's a lot

675
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: of time in the air on Friday and then you

676
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: got to walk through on Saturday and then game day

677
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So some different options for Vance Joseph to

678
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: work with. Yeah, and you know, usually teams kind of

679
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: dread going to Florida in the month of September just

680
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: because of the humidity in the heat, and you see

681
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: guys cramp more in week one or two. So I checked.

682
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: The weather shouldn't be as warm as it was in Tennessee.

683
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals will be wearing the red jerseys, of course, and

684
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: every time you go to Florida, they make you wear

685
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: your dark colors, but they are wearing the red jersey.

686
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: So again, I don't think the weather will be a factor.

687
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: And when it comes to cramping and all that, this

688
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: team is in really good shape. They run from drill

689
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 1: and drill in practice. You can see how fast they

690
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: are on the field. Of course, it's a long year

691
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: and we'll see how they look in the month of December.

692
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I don't I don't think

693
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: that the you know, the humidity is going to be

694
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: a factor for them, all right, So whether or not

695
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: a factor, But what is your X factor here? In

696
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: Week three? X factors Kyla Murray against the Jaguars secondary

697
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: based on Teddy Bridgewater going twenty six of thirty six

698
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty eight yards two touchdowns. He had

699
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: a fifty five yard touchdown his quarterback rating one twenty

700
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: five point six. So they may not have been able

701
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: to run the football, but Bridgewater was very efficient and

702
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: again he had two touchdowns in his quarterback rating twenty

703
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: six or thirty six. And the fact is that they

704
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: were able to throw all the ball down the field

705
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: on that secondary and that may coincide where they can't

706
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: get pressure on the quarterback even though you know they

707
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: do a really good job stopping the run. And as

708
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: we documented on Thursday edition Cardinals Cover two presented by

709
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: Hunday probab partner, the Arizona Cardinals teams are attacking this

710
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense deep and that bodes well for Kyler Murray.

711
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: Here's the stat once again, Kyler five of six. This

712
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: is last week, five of six on attempts beyond twenty

713
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: yards for one hundred and eighty one yards and two touchdowns.

714
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: So very successful last week and this Cardinals team very

715
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: good as far as the deep shots are concerned. Already

716
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: through two games, eleven pass plays of twenty or more yards,

717
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: So it is an area in which I think offensively

718
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: this Cardinals team can exploit. Yeah, and it's all predicated

719
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: as you said they've got to be able to run

720
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: the football, and just based on the two appointments they have,

721
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: teams have an average over four yards of carry. So

722
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, if they can protect Murray

723
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: and let him do his thing and you have all

724
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: your top wide receivers and your running backs in there,

725
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: I believe the Cardinals will put some points on the

726
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: board and some Jaguars injury news and it's in that

727
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: secondary cornerback c J. Henderson and cornerback Trey Herndon questionable

728
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: for this week, Henderson dealing with a growing injury in

729
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: Herndon a knee. In fact, Herndon missed the first two

730
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: games because he was dealing with the knee issue. And

731
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: Henderson someone that there was a lot of expected on

732
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: the former first round draft pick in twenty twenty, but

733
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: he's only played in ten of eighteen games, and there's

734
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: a sense in Jacksonville that, you know, there's you know,

735
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: when you're a first round draft pick, there's an expectation

736
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: not just to play, but to play well. And I

737
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: think people are running out of patience, but they expect

738
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more out of c. J. Henderson, and

739
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: so far just hasn't happened, and that's mainly because of

740
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: his lack of ability and not lack of availability, not

741
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: ability lack of availability. Yeah, they made some trades in

742
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: the training camp, and there was people that I thought

743
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: maybe they could they would trade him, but you know,

744
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: Trent Belku's going to make that decision because he's the

745
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: one that drafted him. He's been the general manager when

746
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: Doug Morone was there, So yeah, it's not ideal. But

747
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: at the same time, though, you got to be on

748
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: the field, and that's beauty when you're drafted that high

749
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: and you get that nice fat check. They need you

750
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: and there's a reason why they felt he was worthy

751
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: or draft thing weren't need where he was Now they're

752
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: the best cornerback is Shaquille Griffin and so he is

753
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: still out there. But it's hard to be just one guy,

754
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: especially against this Cardinals offense. Yeah, I mean again, it's

755
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: all going to come down to you know, Miles jack

756
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: is heitherre like is gonna be either Eric Kendricks where

757
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: he's making tackles all over the field. Again, he doesn't

758
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: have a ton of tackles, so he may drop back

759
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: into coverage. But I just feel like this team with

760
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: full arsenal, and you know if they can protect Murray

761
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,479
Speaker 1: like any other game, and then you run the ball,

762
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: set up the play action. I think the Cardinals can

763
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: put up points. So again to recap quickly, here on

764
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday proud partner of the

765
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. MJ's three keys for a victory. Make the

766
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars one dimensional, Make Trevor Lawrence throw the football. Number

767
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: two the Cardinals run game, and number three back to

768
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Get pressure on that Jaguars rookie quarterback and

769
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: make him make mistakes. Let him throw that football. He

770
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: does have more interceptions than touchdowns. And the X factor

771
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: Kyle the Murray against that Jaguars secondary. I like how

772
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: it sets up MG. Again, I'll repeat myself earlier in

773
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 1: the show in case you missed it her or thought

774
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: I was miss quoted, if you will, or or maybe

775
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: a little bit off my rocker. But there are zero excuses, zero,

776
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: not whether not travel, not start time, not injuries, nothing,

777
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: zero excuses for the Cardinals to come away with a

778
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: victory this week. Now, intangible, I don't think it's going

779
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: to come down to this, but you know, Josh Lambo,

780
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: he's over three this year, He's missed a forty eight

781
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: yard and a fifty two yard and a second quarter

782
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: of misses against Denver and they really can't get points away.

783
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: So if if the Cardinals need to kick some long

784
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: field goals, I trust Matt Prador. I prefer them to

785
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: get better in the red zone, so I have to

786
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: rely in it. But I don't think it's going to

787
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: come down to that. But I know that if if

788
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: he kicks a couple of fifty yarders, then you know

789
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: they're getting points and so, but I just don't think

790
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: that's it's going to come down to that. But their

791
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: kicker is struggling right now, and the fact that he's

792
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: over three, he missed two in the last game, I

793
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: want to say the fifty eight to fifty two. So

794
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to come down to that.

795
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: But I like our chances to win. Matt praydor if

796
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: it happens to be, you know, kicking field goals instead

797
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: of getting touchdowns. And Lambo has been darned near automatic

798
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: the four seasons prior for the Jaguars. It's just something

799
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 1: has happened here this season, and there are people questioning

800
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: urban Meyer's decision to stick with Josh Lambo at the moment,

801
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: but missing from forty to forty nine once and then

802
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: two misses from beyond fifty yards, so really they're not

803
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: doing him any favors yet. It is something that you

804
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: if you're the Jaguars, you don't want it to become consistent.

805
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: But I'm hoping that we don't see Matt Prador kick

806
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: any field goals. That the only time he's on the

807
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: field extra points, kickoffs. Yeah, I know I could have

808
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: picked someone else, you know, I could have got a

809
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: Buddha Bakers. He's going to be the intangible. I just

810
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: know that Boodha is gonna show up in play. So again,

811
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna come down to that, but

812
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: I trust Matt Prador to where last year going into

813
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: Week three they lost because they couldn't kick a field goal.

814
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: So we're not going to have that issue if that

815
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: has to be the case. I don't believe that's going

816
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: to be the case though. All Right, So the Cardinals

817
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville on Sunday again ten am is the kickoff

818
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: five thirty am. The pregame coverage begins on the Arizona

819
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals Radio network before we head on out of here

820
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: on this edition of Cardinals Cover two, presented by Unday,

821
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Let's look at how

822
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the NFC West sets up here in

823
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: Week three. There are seven undefeated teams remaining and three

824
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: are in this division Cardinals, Rams, and forty nine Ers.

825
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: Now the Seahawks, let's touch on them for a moment.

826
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: They're the other team that is on the road this

827
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: week in the NFC West. They play at Minnesota Seahawks

828
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: coming off a home loss the Titans thirty three thirty.

829
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 1: And it was not an anomaly Bird Gang the Cardinals

830
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: what they did to Derrick Henry. Yes, believe it, because

831
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry last week against the Seahawks one hundred and

832
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: eighty two rushing yards and three touchdowns. So as much

833
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: as we are appreciative of the Titans, we are now

834
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: rooting for the Vikings. Let them get their first win

835
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: and at home their home opener after two straight on

836
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: the road. So Vikings and Seahawks is the other road

837
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: game in the NFC West. Yeah, you know, the funny

838
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: thing is going to last night, there were seven unbeaten

839
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: teams and two from the AFC, Browncos and Raiders, and

840
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: then you had five from the NFC of course, the Panthers,

841
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, and three or in the West and that

842
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: would be the Cardinals, Rams of forty nine Ers. So yeah,

843
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: I guess we're rooting for the Bucks, and then we're

844
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: rooting for the Packers, and then I'm also rooting for

845
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: the Viking. So again, and the Cardinals do play the

846
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: Rams next week, we'll obviously focus on a division game,

847
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: a road game. Three out of the first four on

848
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: the road, it'd be very impressive they come back here

849
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: with the win and then try to tee it up

850
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: with the Rams next week. So we're rooting for the

851
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: opponents playing the NFC West. Yeah, the forty nine Ers

852
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: at the Packers on Sunday Night Football. The Rams host

853
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and that's going to be one of those

854
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: games to watch and maybe the best game of the

855
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: week as far as Week three is concerned, although with

856
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: the Rams and something we'll I'm sure talk more about.

857
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: Running back Darrel Henderson suffered a rip Cardinals energury injury

858
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: last week, and you wonder just how healthy, he'll be

859
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: this week. But yeah, Rams and Buccaneer is something to

860
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: pay attention to this week in the NFC West real quick.

861
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: And this does affect the Cardinals offensive line. The Cardinals

862
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: have ruled out both offensive lineman Josh Miles and Brian Winters.

863
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: Miles hurt his ankle and practice this week, and Winters

864
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: is dealing with a personal issue, so neither one of

865
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: those players will be available. So that now all of

866
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: a sudden, hurts the depth at the offensive line position.

867
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: And you wonder if we might see someone get elevated

868
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: from the practice squad if you're an offensive lineman. Sean Marlow,

869
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: Sean excuse me, Sean Harlow, one of the four players

870
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals protected this week is on the practice squad,

871
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: one of those that can play guard, so he might

872
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: be one of those that gets the call tapped on

873
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: the shoulders say hey, we need you this week. I

874
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: hope they can roll out five or six guys. I

875
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: mean clearly, you know, justin Murray and then you got

876
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, Max Garcia, I mean you'd like to dress Hey,

877
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: obviously Winners was that guy in the equation. But we'll

878
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: have to wait and see but you know Harlow, to me,

879
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: he struggled in the preseason, and that to me is

880
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: just more for depth if somebody gets hurt. All right, Alida,

881
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: got one more thing for you, MJ. And I know

882
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: you as a football guy, and I know how much

883
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: you enjoyed Super wild Card Weekend. There is a little

884
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 1: bits of an adjustments this coming year. Yes, they'll still

885
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: be six games, but the league earlier on Friday announced

886
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: two games on Saturday, not three, three games on Sunday,

887
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: and now a game on Monday nights. I like it.

888
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: I understand why they're doing it because it means more

889
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: money in everyone's pockets. But I gotta say I thoroughly

890
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: enjoyed the weekend last year. With three games on Saturday,

891
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: three on Sunday. It was not burned out at all. Heck,

892
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: it's what I do on Saturdays during college football. Games

893
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: start at nine then go until midnight. So I enjoyed

894
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: Super wild Card Weekend in twenty twenty. I look forward

895
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty xcoose me in twenty twenty one. I

896
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: look forward in twenty twenty two, and hopefully the Cardinals

897
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: are one of those teams playing in Super wild Card weekend. Well, Craig,

898
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: I mean, just get the number one seed, just a

899
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: skip wildcard weekend. I don't know if I like it.

900
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,479
Speaker 1: And it sounds like the Monday night game, you're probably

901
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: gonna end up playing the Sunday night late game, yes,

902
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: because I mean usually the time. Yeah, usually if you

903
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: played on a Saturday or Sunday, you know, normally they

904
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: want to give you at least seven days off. But

905
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: I get it. I'll watch it. I mean, I'm not

906
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and say I won't watch it. But

907
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: that's how important that number one set is though. I mean,

908
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: I know only one team gets it, and you get

909
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: that first round by and you're at home the entire playoffs,

910
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: and I know that's far fetch right now, just based

911
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: on the teams that possibly could be ahead of them,

912
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks, will you know, we'll see how they prepare

913
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: this weekend. You know, obviously the teams in the division.

914
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: We'll see if the Packers emerged as a contender, which

915
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: you would think on paper with the quarterback. But yeah,

916
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: I prefer there's just but I get it. I just

917
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure I knew that that team

918
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: playing on Monday night was not playing on Saturday, so

919
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like that would be the late game on Sunday.

920
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: To me, it's fair spread it out. We know eventually

921
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: it's going to go to an eight team game schedule.

922
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll go to more playoff teams

923
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: and then reduce the preseason possibly to two games. Well,

924
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: and then you get the extra day day and a

925
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: half to prepare going into that game if you're playing

926
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: on Monday night, and then yeah, a little bit less

927
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: time on the back end, but you're playing on Monday

928
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: night football during the regular season, and you play on Sunday.

929
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's in the morning, sometimes it's in the afternoon.

930
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 1: And when I say morning, I'm talking about a West

931
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: Coast team, but so's it wouldn't be new, but you

932
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: certainly want a level playing field when you hit the playoffs. Well,

933
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: and if you're the traveling team, it's a little bit

934
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: more difficult, but hey, that's all that's all teams want

935
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: is to get in the playoffs and make a run.

936
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't ask for anything more. You they'll

937
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: tell you if you play at Saturday at ten am,

938
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: you'll show up. They play at Sunday at ten am.

939
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: You're gonna show up so they know what they're doing.

940
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: And based on the ratings last year, they were over

941
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: the top. Because I know, we gotta get going. I

942
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: always thought the division around was the you know, when

943
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: you get to the meat and potatoes, you get some

944
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: wildcard teams that are hot, and you know that make

945
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs and maybe that's one and done. I really

946
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. But now they're gonna stretch it out three days.

947
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: Sign me up absolutely, And again, let's make sure the

948
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: Cardinals are one of those teams or is MJ pointed out,

949
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: hey just skip it all together because you're the number

950
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: one seed. We can all hope that is the case.

951
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: And on that note, let's put a lid on this
