Hit the popcorn ready, 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.640 It's gonna be a show, and Ron will fleep. It 0:00:53.800 --> 0:01:01.640 doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far well, well, well, 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:07.960 I think we all know a certain someone who's feeling 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:12.480 the effects of yesterday. Dare I say a certain well 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:17.880 known somebody who's perhaps nursing an extra large hangover today 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:23.000 who might have needed some help? Dare I say Wolf 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:27.200 getting ahold of his sea legs? As are you talking 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:33.039 about or no? I'm talking about the guy who thoroughly 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:38.560 enjoyed his seventh Super Bowl victory celebration. Now that he 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.040 doesn't have a coach who's actually at the podium the 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.600 day or the days after winning a Super Bowl shouting 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.120 no days off right. Instead, it's quite a different celebration. 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.040 And he partook and maybe had a little too much yesterday. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.480 I'm talking about ba's quarterback TB twelve. Yeah, Tom Brady 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.240 right there, Pobably, that was a little disconcerting. I've got 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.280 to tell you that, Polly, especially the shot of him 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.320 throwing the Lombardi Trophy from his boat. Of course, I 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.120 would estimate some twenty feet Palli, some twenty feet in 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.560 the air. And Cameron Bright, of course, is the guy 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.959 that actually brought it down. But Rob Gronkowski also ate 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.440 it a little a little help on that catch right there. 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.320 And you know what the disconcerting part of that was 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:25.480 his nine year old daughter Va saying, no, Daddy, no, 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.840 I mean that was that was a part that got 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.680 by attention, Paul. He didn't hear the voice of reason 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.120 at that moment. No, there was a God. And it 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.720 wasn't necessarily the twenty feet between the boats. I think 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.800 it was the eighty feet worth the depth of the 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.880 Hillsboro River as someone pointed out it was eighty feet deep? 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.360 Is it really, Paul? Somebody said, it's eighty feet deep 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.840 at that point in the river. So that's a dive. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.960 I mean you would have had a broad to divers 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.520 in to actually retrieve the Lombardi. Correct, I mean if 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.000 that would have been an incomplete pass with the Lombardi. Yeah, 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.640 you're absolutely right. Was it like somebody was diving and 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:05.080 jumping overboard. I'll go get it. So, uh, that was 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.520 the very definition of working without a net. Put it 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.720 that way. And so they got it then. And I 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.399 love when when they actually did give Bruce arians the mic. 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.519 How many times did he say we're gonna be back, 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.880 and uh, you know what, We're gonna win it again, 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.079 and all the players is gonna be back despite the 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.600 fact they have over a half dozen big time free agents. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.320 But a lot of bravado with the Mike, the b 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:29.040 NBA standing for bravado that with all right, I said, 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.760 a lot of all rights. You know, I think it's 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.240 a Knick Saban thing. I really do, Paul. Yeah, Nick Saban, 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.320 have you noticed says he happens to say all right 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.080 after he says something right. It's kind of like I say, right, 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.200 you know what he says? All right, Uh, it's it's 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.520 catching God, Paul the Knick Saban thing. I think it's 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.800 catching God with other coaches out there, because I've never 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.720 heard Ba say I as much as he said it. 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.800 I always took that as you're in a position of 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.360 power and you want those who are subordinate to you 0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:00.600 to not according them. That's why you're saying the affirmation. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.760 As you're going about what you're saying, the affirmation, the acknowledgement, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.760 the buy in that I'm in charge. You're listening to me. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.760 I here's the way it's gonna be. So tonight on 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.360 The Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.760 We are Santan for tonight special guest former Cardinals linebacker 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:21.960 Cardinals broadcaster Rob Frederickson. All right, Freddy, Yeah, so look, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.640 he saw every snap of every game. The man has opinions. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.000 We know that. All you have to do is listen 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.600 to the postgame show. So Rob Frederickson, what did he see? 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.039 What does he think needs to happen on both sides 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.679 of the ball? Where exactly is the NFC West? Now? 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.279 Where's it going? We have questions? Do we not Rolf. 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.000 How did he like the boat parade as well? Sure 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.080 it's not like rob is a foreign to celebrations in 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.080 the locker room. As a former raider. I mean, the 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.400 man knows how to party. So that's all coming up 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:03.560 on the Big Red Rage. Freeman wide right, Dick split 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.520 to the left, matched up on Pat p Allen back 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.440 to throw looking for Dickson. Stead steps up, throws deep middle, 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.840 picked off. Peterson got that one. He's in his forty 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.320 yard line, running far side of the forty five and 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.719 down there Pat pat got allan that time. I've done 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.240 all I can to present. You know that I would 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:21.880 love to be here. But at the end of the day, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.400 you know, it's up to them. We just have to 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.720 wait and see what the future brings. After the season's 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:32.039 Patrick Peterson at the conclusion of two twenty year the 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:37.080 interception against Buffalo. Patrick Peterson Now after the conclusion of 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:42.040 a five year, seventy million dollar contract, what is his future? 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.560 That is one of the biggest questions for the Big 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.800 Red here in the off season. It is the Big 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.480 Red Rage presented by Satan Ford and Gilbert Paul calvc 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.919 Ron Wolfley. The season is over, so you know what 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.080 we continue though with Thursday Night Football, do we not? 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.920 And the big talk right now, if you're a Cardinals fan, 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.839 what exactly is the future of Patrick Peterson Ron Wolfley? 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.599 Do you have a gut feeling of forecast? What do 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.760 you think at this point? Yeah, Polly, you know what, honestly, 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.920 right now, I would love to see Pat Pe come 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.280 back with the Arizona Cardinals. I just don't know if 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.839 that's going to be the case. You covet what you 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.440 don't have, Polly, and the grass is greener on the 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.640 other side. You take those two axioms that have been 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.680 around for a long long time, and I think what's 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.400 going to happen is there's going to be a team 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.240 out there that is going to pay Patrick Peterson something 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.359 that Steve Kiman, the Arizona Cardinals, would not pay. That's 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.800 my gut feeling on that. I hope I'm dead wrong 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.280 on that, Polly. I hope that Pat Pe comes back. 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.039 I still think he's got real value. He's he's maybe 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.960 not that shut down corner that he once was, but 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.520 he's still a very good corner in this league. Well, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.680 he did shut down something else here this week, and 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.040 that was a report from a fan site that apparently, 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.520 according to this report, and we use that loosely, that 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.919 he and the Cardinals are quote parting Way's barring a 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.360 significant change and stances end quote over a new contract. Now, 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.200 Pat p went on his podcast and he shot that 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.080 down something fierce. In fact, he called a quote a 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.080 dirty rumor, which is why I think it made virtually 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:18.000 every single national platform, including the New York Post, because 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.000 they're obligated to run anything that has the words dirty 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.640 rumor in it. But that was his words, and he said, 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.680 me and the team haven't talked about contracts. We haven't 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.200 talked about partying ways. And at the end he said, geez, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.240 give me a break. The offseason just started and we're 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.640 nowhere near in March seventeenth, the official start of the 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.320 league year. I'm with you to a certain degree. Wolf. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.760 I don't think there's gonna be sort of big offer 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.720 from the Cardinals come the start of the league. Yeah. 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.680 I do wonder what the rest of the league thinks. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.520 I think if there's one team out there that's gonna 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.880 blow the doors off someone, I get the sense it's 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.520 gonna be Hassan Reddick. I actually fear that more than 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.520 losing Patrick Peterson to another team via a big offer. 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.800 I just wonder where Hassan Reddick is his age and 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.160 the need for pass rush. Sure not that he cornerback 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.160 is in a position that's most importance in the NFL, 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.160 but it's where he is in his career and what 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.360 we've seen in the past, the guys like Olivier Vernon 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.560 and so forth has gotten those big numbers. I actually 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.520 worry more about his son, Reddick, although I don't discount 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.960 the fact that somebody out there covets Patrick Peterson. Yeah, no, Polly, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.120 I'm with you on that. Listen. I think Pat he 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.360 is still a guy that can line up press man. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.240 He can line up and play man off. As a 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.560 matter of fact, I don't think his instincts are really 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.400 really great when you play zone cover. A guy like 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.080 Richard German. Stop and think about Richard Dermott right now. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.680 He has built his entire career based on the fact 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.600 that he's going to play that deep third, cover three three, 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.240 deep zone four underneath. He's going to play that deep 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:46.199 third about as well as anybody has ever played that 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:50.240 deep third, And especially when you're talking about a corner Now, 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.360 Richard Sherman is also a guy that I think at 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.640 some point we'll make that move, and maybe it's the 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.920 next year too. Safety. I think he's that good of 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.760 a tackler open field, you could actually move him to safety. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.440 We've seen many corners do that over the course of 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.920 their career. I don't think Pat p is in that 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.000 boat right there, Pat, he is still a guy that 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.920 can line up and play man. Now, you get an 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.360 awful lot of man beaters out there. You get teams 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.199 that are running a lot of man beat or routes, 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.560 which makes it very, very difficult. But that's who Vans 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.520 Joseph truly is. Well, if you're talking about crossers, as 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.600 Patrick Pete calls him, he talked about that and he 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.640 admitted he needs to get better in that area. You know, 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.920 just have to go back in and watch the film 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.320 and just continue watching how teams are attacking me and 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:39.360 which is you know, covering drags and crossers running through traffic. 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.000 So I have to find a way doing this offseason 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.920 of maneuvering better through things like that. It was obviously 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.680 it was a big problem Week four against Carolina, we 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.280 know that, but it was a persistent problem at times. 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.360 So the rest of the season as well, wasn't it. Yes, 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.520 And the reason being is because of Vans. Joseph of course, 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:01.000 a defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals. He is Wade 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.360 Phillips disciple to some degree, and that's exactly what he 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.960 loves to play. He loves to play cover one, which 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.800 is man, free man across the board with a free 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.960 safety high in the middle of the field. Right, This 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.520 is what the Arizona Cardinals love. They love to go 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.520 with a lot of man, a lot of complex pressure 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.960 packages as well. You'll see that on third and obvious 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.000 pass situations. But the Cardinals love to run man. And 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.000 you know, anytime you do that, guess what the other 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.800 team is looking at tape on you and they're saying, Okay, 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.360 what do we need to do? Well, what do you 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.040 say we get into a bunch formation, a trips formation 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.120 to one side of the field, and we run a 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.320 bunch of crossers. What do you say we get in 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.920 two by two and we run the scissors play right, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.120 we run a bunch of crossing routes and drags. As 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.320 you heard Pat Pe talking about right there, they know 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.600 what to run against the Arizona Cardinals they're called man 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:57.199 beater route combinations, and it's tough. It's one of the 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.559 hardest routes for any corner to cover. I'm talking about historically, 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.319 Dion Sanders had a hard time on a drag route, 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.240 a quick drag right off the snap of the ball, 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.920 not gaining any depth upfield, but immediately running across because 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.520 of the speed that you're talking about a lot of 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.480 these receivers having. So it's a difficult proposition for any 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.160 corner and the Cardinals do need to get better on that. 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.880 But there's not much you can do. When a team 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.480 lines up and knows you're gonna be in man cover, 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.040 that's what they're gonna run, and when they don't do 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.600 a lot of that. Look at how he performed against 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:40.000 a dk Metcalf twice. Yes, he really did Shutdowncalf. So yeah, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.480 that that definitely has been the third rail and has 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.760 been a vexing problem for Patrick Peterson. Here's the other 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.200 problem for the Arizona Cardinals. Who's better right now in 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.520 the depth chart? So you know, I've been talking about 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.320 it since basically mid season. I think the Cardinals are 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.400 going round one cornerback. But if that guy isn't there 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.360 and somebody takes that guy before the Cardinals draft. Viously, 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.000 you know they might have to come up with another 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.320 plane at corner. And if he does get a big 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.480 offer from someone else, as you mentioned, then look out 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.160 they're really thin at outside corner. We'll talk to Rob 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.440 Frederickson about this at both the offense and the defense. 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.720 He's our special guests as we roll on a big 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:24.640 red rage presented by satan Ford in Gilbert Murray and 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.960 shotgun has the football short set, throws a default left 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.079 side single coverage and it is pulled in by DeAndre 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.800 Hopkins and he's got a touchdown. What a throw by 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:39.800 Kyler Murray and what a catch. Great throw by Kyler Murray, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.760 but an even better retouchdown snapped to Murray and he 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.520 keeps it himself running left, got a defender with him 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.520 at the five breaks a tackle dives, ball comes out, 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:53.840 but he crossed the plane. Touchdown. Kyler Murray. Somehow subway 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:59.320 found a way to get that pig across pater big 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:05.480 time by Kyler Murray. Well that was four shadowing there, 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.920 because Kyler Murray soon after was named the NFC Offensive 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.839 Player of the Week. That was that big win Week seven, 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.000 at Seattle thirty seven thirty four, actually at home Sunday 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.920 Night football as they got to win. That was the 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.080 game where they trailed ten nothing twenty seven fourteen thirty four, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.600 twenty four. And then between Kyler and d hop we 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.839 heard there the thirty five yard touchdown, the one where 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.360 they all looked at the sideline and then Kyler cracked 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.040 the smile and threw the touchdown to a d Hops. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.040 So all part of that win. In the five and 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.800 two start, budd the Cardinals end up losing five of 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.800 the last seven, and so we're trying to assess and 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.320 diagnose that. Ron Wolfley yours truly, Paul Calvisi and joined 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:47.080 by former Cardinals linebacker Cardinals broadcaster Rob Frederickson here on 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.960 the Big Red Raging Rob. Earlier we remembered how Wolf's 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.480 been a part of many a boot parade. Have you 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.200 ever been in a boat parade just for you know, 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.199 for facts off the top? Well, I grew up in Michigan. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.120 We have a lot of boat parades, Polly right, that's 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:08.040 right on Lake Michigan, Lake Michigan, Bear Lake, Saint Joe River, 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.160 wherever you want there on Friday, somewhere you can find 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.240 it in Michigan tru Friday. You didn't answer the question, though, 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:21.240 I mean, honestly, how many boot parades have you been in? Zero? Zero? Oh? 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.520 Here's the question. I don't believe that on campus at 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.880 Michigan State. Here's the question. Come coming off, coming up? Okay, 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.520 between Michigan State East Lansing and then coming off the 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.720 Phoenix Open and then as a member of the Raiders 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.040 who had the best parties? Was it in college? Was 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.240 it the Phoenix Open or wasn't when you were a Raider? 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.440 You know, I'm gonna plead the fifth, but I will say, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:48.720 you know at Michigan State is educational institution of order. Okay, sure, 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.080 get out of Yeah. When you guys are burning furniture 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.720 on the front porch for warmth during frat parties, okay, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.960 burn the couch, PA, that's right, that's right. Well, it's 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.320 all about you. Presented by santan Ford and gild We're 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.440 talking to Rob Frederickson, former Cardinals linebacker, and we're talking 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.040 offense in this segment. So Rob, to you, what was 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.200 the difference between the Cardinals, the high flying Cardinals offense 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.480 that started five and two and then as we just 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.840 documented the team the lost five is last seven and 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.160 struggled more often than not down the stretch. Yeah. I 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.000 love how you come to the linebacker former linebacker for 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:28.160 offensive diagnosis. But you know, honestly, PAULI I saw some 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.080 things with the Cardinals offense this year that obviously there 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.840 were some difficulties, but I think I saw some things 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.200 that they can really build on. And what I really 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:39.840 liked what they did kind of in the middle of 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.640 the season and then maybe they got away from it 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.080 a little, but they started moving d Hop around a 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.480 little instead of just standing him over to the left 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.280 side stagnant and running three or four routes, starting to 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.080 move him around, get him into the slot, motion him 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:59.320 a little bit, do some crossing routes. Those are things 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.320 I think they to build on offensively next season. And 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.320 another thing that Wolf and you and I have talked 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.480 about this a lot that I saw a little little 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.720 bit of glimpses of, but not enough as Kyler under center. Yes, 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.800 you know, you know, get him under center. That opens 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.000 up the offense so much in terms of the running game. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.600 You know, it allows that Kenyan Drake or Chase Edmonds 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:27.800 to really get downhill and get into those zone reads. 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.560 But it also opens up that play action pass and 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.080 those bootlegs, and and it allows Kyler Murray to really 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.600 do what he's best at, and that's utilize time and space. 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.400 And those are things I think that they can do 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.880 going forward and maybe become a bigger part of the 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:49.520 offensive game plan that I really m has me looking 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.680 forward to twenty twenty one. You know what's interesting about this, 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.560 I think the Arizona Cardinals have to pull back and 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.840 parachute in from thirty thousand feet on this one. When 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.640 you speak offensive and you've got to come up with 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.120 a philosophy, what are you offensively? What are you going 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.159 to be? I think there was on a Cardinals to 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.320 some degree got predictable in the second half of the 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.360 season with all the things they do. Predictable to your 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.879 point about lining up DeAndre Hopkins on one side of 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.520 the field for the most part, Yeah, they started moving 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.400 him around the same thing with Kyler Murray just being 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.320 too predictable where he's gonna be. Why not expand the 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.960 football universe and move Kyler Murray under center? Why not 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.120 put him in the gun, put him in the pistol 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.080 and use these formations more and move him around. I 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.800 think they became too predictable in the second half of 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:43.080 that season. And it sounds like you agree with that, Freddie. Well, well, 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:44.800 and not only that, Well, if I don't have a 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.280 problem with the shotgun and there's some good things that 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.560 come out of it, Oh yeah, the RPOs, But to me, 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.919 they were always just rrs. It was always just you know, 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.560 am I going to hand it off or am I 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.840 going to run as Kyler Murray. There was never that 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.440 pass option off of it. And to me, they need 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.840 to expand on that, and you know, utilize Dan Arnold 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.240 over the middle, but really you don't expand on that, 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.480 and you're right, it become a little bit more unpredictable 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:19.760 because we all know and Cardinal fans are probably tired 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.720 and sick to death of the wide receiver screens and 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.440 the jet sweeps and the run plays that bounce out 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:30.000 to the outside. Those are hard to execute in the 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.040 NFL with the speed of defenses and this their ability 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.520 to get off blocks. You have to be able to 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:40.400 mix it up run and pass, play action and keep 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.919 the defenses on their toes. See. I love that, Freddy. 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.880 I love that because sometimes you listen when I talk 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.040 about philosophy. What I'm saying is the Arizona Cardinals, I 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.320 think have to say to themselves, and I'm sure they have. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:54.919 You know what, sometimes we've got to be able to 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.400 line up and just be better than the guy across 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.720 from us. Sometimes we have to just line up and listen. 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.520 The defense knows what's coming. You see this all the time, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.200 the Green Bay Packers. The Green Bay Packers, they're gonna 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.160 run tackle zone. They're gonna run that stretch play. They 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.719 are gonna run that because their offense is built on that, 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.720 very much like the Rams offense was built last year, 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.800 which Eric goff on that offense as well. We're gonna 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.159 run the tackle zone and here it comes. You know 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.760 it's coming. And sometimes you just got to expect your 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.920 guys to go out and execute and be better than 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.800 the guy lined up over them. Yeah, and and well 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.720 if I would, I would just add to that. Sometimes 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.960 it's not even about being better. Um. I was watching 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.880 the Super Bowl with my son and he said, yeah, Dad, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.920 the Kensee Chiefs can't run the ball. They're getting stuffed. 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.520 And I said they need to keep trying, though, because 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.800 that sets up things they don't they don't force those 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.520 safeties to come down and then you can hit the 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.840 play action over it. But they would. They went away 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.959 from it, right, Yeah, absolutely, Freddie, I'm not. I'm not. 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.840 I'm talking about three yards, four yards, that's what it's 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.120 But Bay Buccaneers were doing in Super Bowl fifty five. 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:06.040 They were just running into the pile for the most part. 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.840 And how many times have we seen that that pile 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:13.240 suddenly gives way in the second half, in the third quarter, 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.520 in the fourth it gives way. And you know again, 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.360 I think it starts. It's got to start with a philosophy. 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.000 I think Cliff Kingsbury and his staff, I know that's 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.880 what they're doing this offseason. They're coming up, what are 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.840 we going to be? Where is our identity? Because I 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.480 think identity matters. Rob Predictson our guest, It's all about You, 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.720 presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert and Rob. You brought 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.640 up what I was going to sit and that's those 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.960 two high safeties. Because we talked about it in November 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:47.359 and December on Cardinals broadcast. Adjust to the adjustment, it 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.600 seemed like a lot of game plans against Kyler and 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.119 Company involved the two high safeties. What did Todd Bowles 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.680 do against Patrick Mahomes. I saw John Clayton just wrote 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.159 an article about the Seahawks. That's exactly what defenses are 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.480 doing to stimy Russell Wilson after he got off to 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.160 an MVP start. To me, Rob, they got to figure 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:08.160 out a way to do something about that two high 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:12.120 safety look. And and to me, it's running the football. 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.040 When they were in year the second half of Cliff 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.080 Kingsbury's first year and the first half of his second year, 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:20.280 they were running the ball effectively. Now it's running the 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.760 football and sticking with it. Like I said, even if 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.240 it's not successful, even if it's only for two yards 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.480 or three yards, to me, that's successful, yes, because that 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.520 sets up so much else off the play action, and 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.520 then the middle of the field is wide open. Okay, 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.040 with the two eyes safeties you got, you got a 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:41.399 guy like Dan Arnold, give me a break him against 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:43.760 a middle linebacker that that should be a win every 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.879
