I think it's gonna be a great week, Johnny. 28 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: I don't think they're prepared for the fund that we have. 29 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: You know, they probably think it's like standard, but you know, 30 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: we like to loosen things up, right, we do, we do? 31 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: And I think number one is how excited are we 32 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: all just to have it be game week finally. I 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: mean it's been building, Philip A and now it's here 34 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: and we're previewing the matchup. But you know, like you said, 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: every Monday, we're gonna be with everybody talking about what 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: we saw. But I think right now today we're gonna go. 37 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: We're excited to kind of we're six days away from 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: actually seeing what's going on here or five days so 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: five days right, Yeah, it can't come any sooner. But 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: like we started off, every show, we start off with 41 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: the main dish, but obviously we're not recapping the game, 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: so we can't recap will final score, wellnot, but since 43 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: we are paving the twenty twenty one season, Jodie, I 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: started off with you for our main dish, what is 45 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: your favorite Arizona Cardinal twenty twenty one storyline heading into 46 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: the season. Well, there are so many, and I know 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna give us yours as well, but 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna zoom in kind of dial in 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: on one particular player that I think is I don't 50 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: think he's flying under the radar really, but we didn't 51 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: see you know, we didn't see him in preseason. So 52 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: it's Aj Green, a ten year veteran of the league, 53 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: a seven time pro bowler, and I think in addition 54 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: that is going to be great to this arsenal of 55 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: weapons that Kyler Murray now has, um Steve Kim has 56 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: added more weapons, and Aj Green, I mean, he had 57 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: a down year last year. I know that, I know 58 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: the numbers were not pretty, but you guys saw him 59 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: at camp. We all saw how invigorated he looked out there. 60 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: He's a big body, six four, he is thirty three 61 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: years old, like he turned thirty three just last month. 62 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: We're in July, I believe it was. But he looked fresh, guys, 63 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see what he can do stretching 64 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: the field. So you know, Craig, I'll ask you though, 65 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there are so many storylines this season. What 66 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: stands out to you? Well, the one main storyline that 67 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: each one of our individual thoughts is the end result 68 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: is this team needs to get into the postseason, and 69 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: they missed the playoffs by one game. And I don't 70 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: know if it's too early in the morning here on 71 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: morning scramble to throw out a bunch of numbers, but 72 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals last season played nine one score games, the 73 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: only one four of those games, and the three of 74 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 1: the five losses were by a field goal. So I'm 75 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: going with one of the new faces, like Jody picking 76 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: aj Green. I'm looking at Matt Prador to give this 77 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: team an extra win too, maybe even three this season 78 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: just by his results kicking in the fourth quarter or 79 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: if needed, in overtime. Matt Prador one of the best 80 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: to do it in the entire history of the National 81 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: Football League. And I think with his addition, yes and 82 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: special teams, but hey, it does count for a third 83 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: of the game. So my main storyline is what Matt 84 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: Prator can do for this entire team, and that's elevate 85 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: the Cardinals into the twenty twenty one postseason. Rolando, what 86 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: about you, Well, you guys already chose players well into 87 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: their mid thirties, right, So I have to keep on 88 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: the trend guys here in the morning scram But I'm 89 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: gonna go with Chander Jones. I mean, we know what 90 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: Chander Jones means to this organization when once he's in there, 91 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: his presence is a big princess on the defensive line, 92 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 1: especially when when you see him produce those double digit 93 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: sacks and when you see him in faces against the 94 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: rival quarterbacks. So I think this year Chander Jones from 95 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: for my storyline has to be him. Is he back? 96 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: You know, he went through his old offseason, he went 97 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: through last here with the injury. He rehabbed. It will 98 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: But in your thought process, once you're a veteran, you 99 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: think about who, Okay, did I do the right thing? 100 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: Am I ready to go Week one? And I think 101 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: Chandra Jones is definitely ready the way I saw him 102 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: in training camp, is incredible. His body is reacting great 103 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: to this, and I think at the end of the day, 104 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, there's it's a it's a veteran present. It's 105 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: a veteran defensive unit that we have here and it 106 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: starts with with Chandra Jones. So I'm excited about that storyline. Hey, Jody, 107 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you know, as Craig being one of 108 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: the rookies, it was a pretty gutsy fan, which he's 109 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: a kicker, you know, hey, you know he really laid 110 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: it out though, you're right, and you remember Phelipe, there 111 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: were some mornings that we had a little heartburn on 112 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: the morning scramble after kicking troubles. Okay, we came in 113 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: onto the show without eating anything because we're so disappointed 114 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: or heartbroken or whatnot from from the weeks before due 115 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: to a miss field those or whatnot. But yeah, and 116 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: it was tough because you know, yeah, I didn't want 117 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: to win those games, those close ones. There was the 118 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: loss to the Lions, there was the loss the Dolphins. 119 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: There was a loss the Patriots, all by a field goal, 120 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: and that loss to Detroit. It was Matt Prador who 121 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals. So again, yes, it's a kicker, but hey, 122 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: they're on the field for a reason and that's skidded. 123 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: W Yeah. I mean we all you know Zane Gonzalez 124 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: Asu and we were all rooting for him. Great guy 125 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: and you know, but unfortunately it is a business in 126 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: the world of sports and in the NFL, and you 127 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: have to make those kicks. And Craig's right, Matt Prador, 128 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: he is a pro. You know. You look it up 129 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: and is there's a picture of Matt Prador. We saw 130 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: it also during training camp. It was fun, you know, 131 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: watching the skinny goal post and the whole thing. And 132 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: he's got his methods and they work and he's got 133 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: a great I mean, I was just it was crazy 134 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: how big the leg is. Just seeing him kick, Um, 135 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean I've seen him kick for years on TV, 136 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: but just seeing him there at State from Stadium in 137 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: the Cardinals UNI. So yeah, Phelipe, he's a light the 138 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: pick Craig and Rolando too, going with chan So this 139 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: is how we have. We debate and sometimes we don't 140 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: always agree, but that's okay. But right now we're previewing, 141 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: so anything's up for grounds. I'm just teasing rookie hazing 142 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: even though I'm technically the rookie of the whole group. 143 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: But I'll wrap it up for you guys. You know, 144 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: you guys talk to about some key players of AJ Green, 145 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: Matt Praterer, don't forget J J. Watt, Chanlela Jones, so 146 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: many new key pieces to this Arizona Cardinals team that 147 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: with an improved roster comes expectations. You know, there's no 148 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: more old they're young, there's no more preaching patients, none 149 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: of that. I mean, you're you improve your roster for 150 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: a reason. You drafted guys like Xavin Collins and Marco 151 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: Wilson for a reason. I think the time is now 152 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: for the for this Arizona Cardinals team to to make 153 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: the postseason. You know, Kyler Murray's coming off a Pro 154 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: Bowl year. You know, you have the pieces on offense, 155 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: you have the pieces on defense. You have an experienced 156 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: coach to experienced coaches, so you know the expectation is 157 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: gonna come with the team. So hopefully they pushed through 158 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: this season and actually make the postseason, whether it's by 159 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: winning the division or you know, getting in through the 160 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: wild cards. So with an improved roster comes expectations. Guys, 161 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: So we'll move on to our next segment. And usually 162 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: after a game, there's always that player that you know, 163 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: shows out, the rising shine player that we like to 164 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: talk about. But again, since we're prieving in the show, 165 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about a player that has the 166 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: most to prove coming into the twenty one season. Jody, 167 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: who's your player with the most maybe not the most expectation, 168 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: but you know they're feeling the pressure a little bit well, 169 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: And I want to qualify this because this young man, 170 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: he didn't put himself in this spot. It sort of happened. 171 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: But it's Marco Wilson, the cornerback out of Florida, who 172 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: was obviously a draft pick for the Cardinals this year. 173 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: From my hometown of Fort Lauderdale. Actually I'm from Hollywood, 174 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: but American Heritage School that a lot of my you know, 175 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: I knew a lot of people that went to that 176 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: school growing up. So Marco Wilson, Florida kid. But here's 177 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: why we all know, Malcolm Butler retired and so it's 178 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: created this situation where we liked what we saw in 179 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: the preseason from Marco Wilson. In fact, I saw him 180 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: not that he had a fifty percent forced and completion 181 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: a rate in the preseason, which was a very small sample. Okay, 182 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: that is a pro football focus, I believe was the 183 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: source on that. And what we saw was a kid 184 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: coming in and not being afraid and it looked like 185 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: he was right in there. Even if there was a 186 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: catch on him, he was right there. So you're seeing 187 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: a guy that has talent, has ability, and I think 188 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: the big question is and why I say he has 189 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: to prove it is because he's got to prove it 190 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: in the regular season and on a consistent basis. How 191 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: he's going to be used. We don't exactly know. We 192 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: know Byron Murphy is holding it down on one side. 193 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: We know Robert Alford hasn't played in a while, but 194 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna give it all he's got. And we know 195 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: Marco Wilson will get his opportunities. But you hear the 196 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: coaches talk about him, and you know they have to 197 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: feel comfortable, but you feel like it's it's very sincere 198 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: and genuine because of the talent there. So it's I 199 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: guess I'm qualifying just that you know, prove what does 200 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: he have to prove? I mean, he's a rookie, so 201 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: It's not like he put himself in a you know, 202 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: it's not like he's got this track record and maybe 203 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: had a down year last year and he's got to 204 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: come out and prove something this year. But it is 205 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: a spot where he can easily prove that he can 206 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: be in this league and be someone that can be 207 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: trusted out there. He can do it Week one against 208 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: the Titans. So we're gonna have all eyes on Marco Wilson, Craig. 209 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: How about you Rise and Shine player? Who are you 210 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: looking at? Well? By the way, is a Miami Hurricane 211 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: allowed to pick a Florida Gator as far as a 212 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: rise and Shine player? I mean, is there are rules 213 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: against this? Well, you know, growing up for me, the 214 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: Gators in Miami, I don't. I think the Gators really 215 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: never wanted to play the Miami Hurricanes once they rose 216 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: to power. Which, yes, I'm living in the past. Okay, 217 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: I did it hurt me the Alabama game, But in 218 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: my years there, okay, we were national championships at least 219 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: in it almost every other year, So yeah, it does 220 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: hurt a little bit, But it's weird. I have this 221 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: other thing with Florida State where it's like I respect them. 222 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: I was respected Bobby Bowden. I has loved how he 223 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: ran his program in Earthly so it's kind of like, 224 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: I don't hate those teams. But right now I'm all 225 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: in on Marco Wilson. Cardinals need him. You're just a 226 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: fan of the entire state of Florida. Yeah, you could 227 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: say that, Yeah, I'm gonna go same position, and you 228 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: brought him up, and that is Robert Alford. I am 229 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: so excited that we are finally in a game week 230 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: in which in just a few days we actually get 231 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: to see Alford in a Cardinals uniform. He has not 232 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: played each of the past two seasons, but if you 233 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: look back at those seasons going in training camp, he 234 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: was the best cornerback in twenty nineteen, He was the 235 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: best cornerback in twenty twenty and just freak injuries prevented 236 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: him from getting on the football field. And if he 237 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: is Robert Olford, that player that the Cardinals signed back 238 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, then I think that will mean so 239 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: much to this entire defense because now you're not asking 240 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: a lot of Marco Wilson, and because of the perceived 241 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: lack of depth at that cornerback position. If Robert Alford 242 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: can rise and shine and be that other corner opposite 243 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: of Byron Murphy, maybe get some help with the pass rush. 244 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: I do think it's going to be a big help 245 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: for this defense overall. So I'm because I'm a fan. 246 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Robert Alford to see what we've hoped 247 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: to have seen the previous two seasons, but finally get 248 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: to here in twenty twenty one, Rolando, what about you? Well, 249 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: here we go, rise and shine and prove it from 250 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: the get goal. For me, it's got to be Zavian Collins. 251 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: I'm a fan of his since he talked on the 252 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: phone and we all saw that conversation with Steve Kind. 253 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: He came in barking, guys. So if you're gonna bout, 254 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: if you're gonna show up in the pro scene like that, 255 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: you better make sure you know your teams are crossed 256 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: and you're ready to go. And I think with what 257 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: I saw Zaven this training camp and what I saw 258 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: him on the field actually in the preseason, is he's ready. 259 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: He's ready to go. This guy is a natural his position. 260 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: He's a natural linebacker. He's a big guy, six four, 261 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: two sixty. I think he's, you know, ready to rock 262 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: the scene because he demands it. He's one of those 263 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: guys that needs a contact, he needs to be in there, 264 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: and yes, there's gonna be growing pains, and yes, once 265 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: in a while maybe we'll call him out on the 266 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: radio and say, hey, well this guy didn't make his 267 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: adjustment or he didn't make the play. He didn't he 268 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: missed the tackle. But eventually, Zaven Colin has to prove 269 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: it and he's got to rise to the occasion. He's 270 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: got to shine, and he's got to make sure he 271 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: does it the right way. I think at the end 272 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: of the day, Zaven is in a unique position because 273 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: he has he has a great partner with Isaiah Simmons, 274 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: and those two guys can actually grow together and can 275 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: actually matched. And once that happens, this defense, knowing that 276 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: we have a Chandler Jones, knowing that we have a 277 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: JJ Watt, knowing that we have a Robert Alfred the 278 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: reason that have done it before in the past, I 279 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: think he's in a great spot. And so for me, Craig, 280 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: Jody and Philippe is definitely U this year the rising 281 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: shame player. I have to pick Xavian Collins. I want 282 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: to give you an applause to Lando because you managed 283 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: to you know, sprinkle in the rise and the shine 284 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: within yours. Okay, you have explaining who your rising shine 285 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: player is. So that's that's a very veteran move. On 286 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: the morning scrambled Jody, so he's had three cups of coffee, 287 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: so he's good. Yea, guys, I'm like Xavin right now, 288 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: ready for that big hit against Derek Henry. Once that 289 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: happens this week one, you guys better believe the thing. 290 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: This defense is gonna be hyped up. If he does 291 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: a tackle like he did in the preseason, you know, 292 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: solo tackle in the backfield puts him down. Believe me, 293 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: veterans will look at him and will instantly respect them 294 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: and respect his game. So hopefully that happens for him. 295 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: I feel like all three players that you guys chose 296 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: have will have a good wake up calling week one 297 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: because I mean, if you talk about the cornerbacks you're 298 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: going up against, you know a j Brown and Julia Jones, 299 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: And if you're Avon Collins, you're gonna try to stop 300 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: the run against, if not the top running back in 301 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: the NFL. So I think they should have the three 302 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: comes of coffee come Sunday in the morning. So you know, 303 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: I'll wrap it up because you guys shows defense. You know, 304 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: I gotta go against the grain, and I'm gonna go 305 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: against the grain twice because I'm gonna choose offense and 306 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna choose a coach because there you go, we 307 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: need some variety. We didn't want to go all defense exactly. 308 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: I feel like he has is just going too much 309 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: on the bring some of the sweetness to it. But 310 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Clip Kingsbury. You know, year three, 311 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: he has all the pieces on offense that he's been 312 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: wanting since he got here. You know, he got his 313 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: speeks through it in Rondo or he finally has someone 314 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: to go opposite of DeAndre Hopkins. I mentioned that how 315 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is going into year three of his career 316 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: coming off a Pro Bowl season. So I feel like 317 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: there's not much you can say about why this offense 318 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: isn't gonna excel this season. I mean, you have a 319 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: dual a dual threat in the in the running backs 320 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: and Chase Edimons and James Connor and the veteran and 321 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: a more versatile back and Chase Edmons. So I feel 322 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: like Cookings Urray finally has the pieces an he needs. 323 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I want him. I want to see a 324 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: lot more ten personal now that he has Ronda Moore 325 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: and aj Green mixing in with DeAndre Hopkins and Christian Kirk. 326 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: I want to see, you know, Kyler Murray stay in 327 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: the pocket a little bit more now that he now 328 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: that they have that center and Ronnie Hudson that can 329 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: hold that pocket a little bit more for Kyler Murray 330 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: and he and they're in a tough division if not. 331 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think any of you guys can 332 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: disagree with me when we say the NFC West is 333 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: probably the toughest division in football, right, there's no question 334 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: it's up there, Yeah, for sure, equation, So I think 335 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: it's to prove it here. I mean, do you want 336 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: to outperform the likes of Russell Wilson. Do you want 337 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: to finally get over that hump against Sean McVay. You 338 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: know he's oh and seven against the Los Angeles Rams, 339 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: And of course the forty nine ers suffer suffering that 340 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: brutal heat last year towards the end of the season 341 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: that could have got him into the postseason. So I 342 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: feel like Cooking's very has a lot to prove and hopefully, 343 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, they exceed expectations. And now we'll wrap it 344 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: up with one of my favorite segments because we put 345 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: someone in the spotlight. We're bringing home the bacon and Rolando. 346 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: What kind of bacon is Jody bringing home on this 347 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: specific segment, Well, Jody's a season vent. I mean she's 348 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: got to bring in the thick cut, marble bacon for 349 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: a week one. Right there we go. I actually I'm 350 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: not I got bacon, Jody, bring it home for me? 351 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: You know what, what, I gotta tell you that this 352 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: is actually not the cut. It's not the cut crunchy 353 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: though it's nice and cuny. This this is this. I'm 354 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: throwing a flag here. This is this is this is 355 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: not fair. If you don't have enough for everyone, you 356 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: cannot bring it some more. This this is not good. 357 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: I'll be down there shortly, guys, I'll be down I 358 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: can come down to the facility home for Rlando. You're 359 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: on your own though. Um yeah, I just had to. 360 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: I had to come out strong with some bacon. But 361 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: I will tell you I will share something and this 362 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: kind of ties in with my point and to bring 363 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: home the bacon first of all, my honor to bring 364 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: home the bacon. Every week, someone different will bring home 365 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: the bacon. But thank you Felipe for choosing me for 366 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: week one. Um, when you first make bacon, you guys 367 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: made bacon. Oh yeah, if you make bacon, it can 368 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: be it can be messy, it can be a little 369 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: bit of a disaster if you don't have some experience 370 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: in making the bacon. So you get you know, you 371 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: get older and wiser. You either figure out you know 372 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: how to contain this splatter or maybe you go do 373 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: like I do and go down to the grocery store 374 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 1: and the Delhi and you get just some bacon and 375 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: then you don't even have to cook it. Oh wow, 376 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: three for dollar ninety nine. Baby, the bacon is the 377 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: spell that for me, it's the entire kitchen and the 378 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: rest of the house. That's true. It's true. But you know, 379 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: again it's a veteran move. And where I'm going with 380 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: this is the theme again is going to be a 381 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: little bit of leadership and experience. So you've got guys 382 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: now that you know the little pro tips, you know, 383 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: they know what happens in crunch time. And I'll name 384 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: the names we've been talking about. It's it's JJ Watt, 385 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: it's Rodney Hudson, it's AJ Green. You don't have Larry Fitzgerald, 386 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: so you have another you have these veteran voices. My 387 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: bring home the Bacon is about and it really points 388 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: to what Phelipe was talking about. How do you get 389 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: to the postseason? How do you get over the hump? 390 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: And I also want to preview a little bit of 391 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: this Titans game. Look, football, I've been covering football for 392 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: twenty five years. A lot of times, you guys all know, 393 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: it's taking care of the ball. It's run and stop 394 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: the run, it's limiting big plays. Those are all basic things. 395 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: Those are all things though that will play in this 396 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: week because we all know the Titans can run. They 397 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 1: have a powerful running game, and yet they have weapons 398 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: on the outside. They have a j Around and Julio Jones, 399 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: So limiting big plays. I do want to come out 400 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: and say, similar to what Philippe I said, I believe 401 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: the offense can be a juggernaut. I really do. I 402 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: don't feel like there are as many questions on offense 403 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: as there are on defense, and I feel like this 404 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: offense can reach new levels. Now. I think there's a 405 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: lot of questions because we didn't see in the preseason 406 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: the short stint for the starters. It was not good 407 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: at all. But you can tell that this team was 408 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: not going to reveal anything. They did talk about, you know, 409 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: going out and running their stuff this year, but they 410 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: were not worried about the outing that was. You know, 411 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: would it end up in a one, one or two 412 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: yards of offense and in the possessions, Yeah, I'm I'm 413 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: not concerned with it. Okay. So when I say that, 414 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: you look at what they have now and the weapons 415 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: that they have, and we've mentioned a lot of them. 416 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: We haven't even mentioned DeAndre Hopkins on the show yet, 417 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: and he had an amazing year last year. Okay, so 418 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: you got you got d hop You've got Aja Green, 419 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: You've got Rondel Moore, you know, and guys like the 420 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: other thing is Zaven Collins, Marco Wilson, Rondel Moore. These 421 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: guys hopefully are not going to have to win games 422 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: for the Cardinals. One of you guys made that point earlier. 423 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: It's going to be the veterans. The veterans are going 424 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: to lead the way hopefully put this team in the 425 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: right spot. And will those guys be in big spots. 426 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: They will, They'll be in big spots and they'll be 427 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: expected to make plays. But hopefully, you know, there's enough 428 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: leadership and experience that they're not winning the game. And 429 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: I want to mention one quick edition, which is cult McCoy. 430 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: I really think he's gonna help Kyler Murray. I really 431 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: think the whole dynamic is going to be good for 432 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: the offense. Having Colton McCoy there, We've already seen it 433 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: in training camp, so you know, Matt Prador, Colt McCoy, 434 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: these are under the radar pickups. So I kind of 435 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: I've been all over this morning with this guys. Pardon me, 436 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: but I'm just excited about the season. I think the 437 00:21:53,960 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: offense is going to really click in this year. They 438 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of questions. If they execute like 439 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: they we know that they can, they're gonna be fine. 440 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: And I think the defense has some question marks, and 441 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: yet I think fans Joseph we have a lot of 442 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: trust in what he can do with you know, whatever 443 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: weaknesses they may have, trying to compensate for those. So 444 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't felipe. I'm ready to go. I got bacon, 445 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: I got coffee. It's a little bit disappointed, Jody. You 446 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: pulled the veteran move and went to the deli to 447 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: get bacon. That's all. As we were talking on like 448 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: she really went to buy the bacon, I thought you may. Yeah, 449 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: I know. I'm sorry. Everyone out there is really disappointed. 450 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's probably like, man, Jody, you can't even 451 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: make your own bacon. I do make my own bacon, 452 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: but if it's just like a quick, short stint and 453 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: I might be running out to get coffee like I 454 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: did this morning, I'm grabbing the bacon. I just want 455 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: to make a quick point. I remember last year in 456 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: Week one, they came out firing against the forty nine 457 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: ers without a preseason. So, you know, for those that 458 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: we're freaking out, you know on social media about the 459 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: offense not getting enough front, hey, it's gonna be fine. 460 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: We saw last year it's not necessarily how you start, 461 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: that's how you finish, hey well, And that's a big 462 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 1: key felim it because look, they didn't finish well. I mean, 463 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: and they didn't score in the red zone enough. We 464 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: know that we know, we know those things. That's where 465 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: they have to take that next step. You can you 466 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: can move the ball between the twenties and in the 467 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: middle of the field, and they did that. I think 468 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: the key is what are they going to do now 469 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: to be able to finish more often? All right, guys, Well, 470 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season is here. But before we 471 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: get into the nitting grits of week one, let's get 472 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: into this season hype video that you know, I got 473 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: my goosewums up a little bit. The regular season. Enter 474 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: the gun like where fields become ancient battle browners, the 475 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, the trenches. To win the fight, we 476 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: must play like we have nothing to loose. It is 477 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: some claim a king, but history shows what kings are 478 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: made troubles. Kings are destronged. Our objectives are similar, picked off, 479 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: protect the nests, become a road. Builders got burn the morning, 480 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: burning with the Red Sea behind us. Anything, It's possible. 481 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: Are you ready? All right? Guys? Like I mentioned, the 482 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: goose bumps are there, especially after watching that specific video. 483 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: But Week one, the Tennessee Titans and explosive offense. Jody, 484 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: Let's let's start with you once again. You know when 485 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: you when you talk about Derrick Henry, what is this 486 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: defensing to do to contain someone of his stetch? Well, 487 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's it's it's about tackling. It's 488 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: about you know, being ready, and you know when you 489 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: make I think they're going to come out and they're 490 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: going to try to run the ball. I mean, that's 491 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: that's how it goes, and then they'll take their shots. 492 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: But if you can run and you can demoralize a team, 493 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: and if you can control the clock. That's the other 494 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: thing that we saw frankly early last year with the 495 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: Cardinals that they had more of a quick strike offense going. 496 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: And that's great, but you have to be able to 497 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: get the other team off the field or else you're 498 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: you're going to be in that position where you know 499 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: you might not be able to get that final score. 500 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: So can't let them control the ball. I think it 501 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: is all about tackling, swarming. Rolando hit it on the 502 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: head of Zavin Collins can make a huge difference in 503 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: the run game. You know, you've got some guys up front. 504 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: We haven't seen this defense altogether, you know, just like 505 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: we haven't truly seen the offense. So I'm excited to 506 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: see it. I think they I think you know, obviously 507 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: you wanted Jordan Phillips to be in there, he's not. 508 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: But they have some depth there and I think they 509 00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: can be up to the task. But they're going to 510 00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: be focused on it and that's going to be number one. 511 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: And then you hope they can limit any big plays 512 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: on the outside. But number one priority for Vance Joseph 513 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: and this defense, You're right, it's stopping Derrick Henry. Great. 514 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: Let me just add that real quick, because Jody brought 515 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: up the tackling, and I think it's important to keep 516 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: in mind, it's not just one guy. There has to 517 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: be eleven players surrounding the ballcare in this particular case 518 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: Derek Henry, because it's not gonna be one player that 519 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: brings him down. It's going to be multiple guys. So 520 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: if you can eliminate the amount of broken tackles or 521 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: yards after contact with Derek Henry, you're not gonna stop him. 522 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: You just hope to maybe he just gets two, three, 523 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: four yards but doesn't have that big fourteen yard run, 524 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: especially when it's third and short, because as Jody said, 525 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: if you can get the you get off the field. 526 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: On third down, especially on a third and four, that's 527 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: gonna swing momentum to the offensive side. So it's it's 528 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: not gonna be just one tackler, but multiple tacklers. And 529 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna hear that from Vance Joseph later 530 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: this week, that gang tackling Philippe if that happens early 531 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: in the game, first, second quarter, first half, believe me, 532 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: has a psychological effect. And the person who was running 533 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: the ball in this case, Henry could because if you're 534 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: getting hit most of the time, you know, lower body, 535 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: somebody's gang tackling on top, and you know three or 536 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: four bodies are piling up on you every single time, 537 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: it kind of you know, at the end of the day, 538 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: it's okay, this is the first game of the season, right, 539 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: so how how physical, I mean, how beat up do 540 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: you want to come out of this one? Right? Because 541 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's that they're in 542 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: there for the long haul, and I think Zaven is 543 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: going to be a big component of that. I also 544 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: think whoever's in the rotation the interior D line that 545 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: we have has to have that presence. You know, they 546 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: have to hold their point of attack, they have to 547 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: control the gap. They have to make sure they're putting 548 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: the right spot in order for that to happen. And 549 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: when that happens, I think it'll start that party, and 550 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: it'll start that aggressive that we need on the defensive siety. 551 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the focus that has been 552 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: on Derrick Henry, but you know, with everything happening with 553 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler, my eyes are on that and that wide 554 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: receiver group for the Titans. I mean, the talent that's 555 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: that's there and the A. J. Brown and the Julio Jones. 556 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about how how will the defensive line help 557 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: out that secondary? And Marco Wilson and Robert Alfred does 558 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: making his debut basically for the Arizona Cardinals in the 559 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: regular season. That's that's my focus. Who's gonna have to 560 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: help them out in the secondary? Being that they are, 561 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: you know, basically new, you still have byber Murphy's going 562 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: into his third year. He's not necessarily the veteran, and 563 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: he said it himself, he's not necessarily necessarily a veteran. 564 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: So Orlando, who's gonna help out that secondary against that 565 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver group for the Titans. I think it starts 566 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: Philippin with Buddha Baker, Boody. Buddha's gotta make sure he 567 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: has everybody in check. He has got everybody well positioned 568 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: in in the in the secondary so that so they 569 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: can function right because we know, you know that the 570 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: veteran mix and the and the inexperience is there for 571 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: the defensive side on the cardinal ball, right, So for me, 572 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: it's got to be Buddha Baker. He's got to be aggressive. 573 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: If he comes down into the box and he makes 574 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: a big tackle against the run game, against the Titans 575 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: run game, I think that'll definitely, you know, show up 576 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: in how everybody kind of just says, okay, let's do 577 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: this right. And then once they're back there against the 578 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: you know, the the Julios and the Browns, that's when 579 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: it's got to count. That deep ball, that deep threat, 580 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: which finally Ryan Tannehill has is going to be a concern. 581 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: So it Buddha's up there and he's the one in 582 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: charge when when those shots are taken down the field. 583 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: If he wins you know, seventy percent of him, I 584 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: think we'll be fine. I think Craig mentioned it too though. 585 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: The pass rush, you've got to help out your corners. 586 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: You've got to help out the secondary with that pass rush. 587 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: And we didn't see it all the time last year 588 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: and we know that Champ. When Chandler Jones went down, 589 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: everything changed. Um. But but again Van's Joseph did a 590 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: nice job compensating there. But yeah, you got you gotta 591 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: get pressure on Tannehill and that's going to make all 592 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: the difference in the world. Wrap it up for me quickly, 593 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: what do we expect from this matchup in Week one? 594 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: Is it? You know, does one team has to outscore 595 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: the other? Is there going to be a defensive game? 596 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: Talk to me. I think you could go either way. 597 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: And with week one you really don't know. You can 598 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: expect to high scoring affairness the defenses are ahead of 599 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: the offense or vice versa. But you know, I want 600 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: to go back to something that we did not see 601 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: in the preseason, and that was this offense getting on track. Well, 602 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: let's not forget the Titans fan base. No Ryan Tannehill, 603 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: no Derrick Henry, no Julio Jones, no AJ Brown. There 604 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: without two of their five offensive lineman, they played zero 605 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: snaps together in the preseason, So you're going in a 606 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: little bit blind, I think on both sides because what 607 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: you saw in training camp you hope translates to week one. 608 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: But once the lights come on and once you start 609 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: playing for real with full speed contact, how do these 610 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: teams react? And specifically how the rookies that the Cardinals 611 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: are counting on, someone that we talked about already with 612 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: Mark Wilson and Zavian Collins, how do they perform when 613 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: that game is kicked off on Sunday? All right, guys, 614 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: Week one can't come any sooner than Arizona. Cardinals visit 615 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans.
