1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Cardinals Locker Room Show, presented by Sam 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: dan Ford in Gill, home of the Tim Hoping Satisfaction Guarantee. 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 2: Come man, come. 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: On, Let's get back to the stadium for analysis and 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: exclusive interviews from the Cardinals locker room. Here's Dave fash A, 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: two Shipley and all Calvison. 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 3: But the Arizona Cardinals defense did a decent job today. 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 3: They were up ten to three. Bijon Robinson was kept 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 3: in check early on, but he had a big catch 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 3: on a short drivery. Was the guy that touched the 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 3: ball on three plays, all the three plays of a 12 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 3: scoring drive that kind of unlocked him and the Atlanta offense. 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 3: They eventually scored twenty six points. They were held to 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 3: about three hundred and fifty yards of offense, and nineteen 15 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 3: of their thirty two rushes went for three or fewer yards. 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: We saw Darius Robinson have a great game. Dalvin Tomlinson 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: was in there. I Meanwhile, the offense struggled just nineteen 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 3: points for the Cardinals. Person had a pick, had a 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: touchdown pass Not enough Michael Wilson, Trey McBride or Marvin Harrison. 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: They combined for seven catches between the three. Michael Carter 21 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: had sixty five rushing yards, most of those in the 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 3: first half, and Kinner did a good job when he 23 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 3: was in there. We didn't see him in the second half, 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: so him in there for a possession early in the game, 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: got thirty two rushing yards. But the Cardinals end up 26 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 3: losing twenty six to nineteen, and they're now three and twelve. 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: They have two games left at Cincinnati at the Rams AQ. 28 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: As you look big picture of what we saw here today, 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: what we were your takeaways from this game. 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing is if you look from 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 4: a week ago, Kyle Pitts dominated the game. I think 32 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins looked great. He threw for a bunch of 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 4: yards last week. And they get Drake London back today. 34 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 4: He's been a pretty electric football player in this league 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 4: for his entire time in the NFL. Now, and you 36 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 4: get all those guys back, and we did a good 37 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 4: job on defense limiting all of them, I think, limiting 38 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 4: all of them. But the big thing was was once 39 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 4: they got into the red zone, they scored touchdowns when 40 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 4: it mattered most Obviously the past to Kyle Pitts on 41 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 4: the little crossing route you get the touchdown down here 42 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 4: on the run on the quarterback sneak. There's just too 43 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 4: many times where they get one more touchdown, and we 44 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: had plenty of opportunities getting down into the red zone. 45 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 4: You think back on the missed field goals, You think 46 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: back on just some of the plays that we missed 47 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 4: out on today on offense, and then what they did 48 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 4: to capitalize on their end. 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was thirteen to three. They took the lead. 50 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 3: But missed an extra point, so it's actually tied sixteen 51 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 3: sixteen at half. The Cardinals don't score after that. Elijah 52 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 3: Higgins had a big day in defeat, and he's standing 53 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 3: by with Paul. 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: Seven grabs for ninety one yards career highs. We'll get 55 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: to that in a moment. Very quiet locker room right now. 56 00:02:53,520 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: What sticks with you the most, Elijah. 57 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 6: Just the pain in the locker rooms hurt. We work 58 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 6: our tails off every week and we go into the 59 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 6: game with a lot of belief that we're gonna win, 60 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 6: and it sucks when and obviously that doesn't happen one 61 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 6: thing about our team. I know that we're gonna stick 62 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 6: together and continue to battle the next two weeks. 63 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: And guys talk about that confidence. What gives this roster 64 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: confidence at this point in the season. 65 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 6: I think just the way that we approach work, the 66 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 6: way we approach our craft. Guys are working at Harvard, 67 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 6: competing every week and just sticking to the process, tweaking 68 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 6: the process. It's trying to do better every week, and 69 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 6: I think that's that's how you go into games with confidence. 70 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: Would you like about how this offense was able to 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: move the ball, especially in the first half. 72 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 5: I think I think we did a good job. 73 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 6: Obviously we didn't put enough points on the board, but 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 6: it was cool to see our run game get going. 75 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 6: And obviously we have to make explicit passes in the game. 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 6: So yeah, just not still not enough to get it done. 77 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, halftime, the Cardinals run game was averaging nearly six 78 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: yards of carry. 79 00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 5: What does that do for the past game? 80 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 6: I think it Obviously it opens it up. You're getting 81 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 6: to load the box up a little bit and you're 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 6: able to stretch the feel a little bit more. But obviously, 83 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 6: like I said earlier, we we didn't do enough to 84 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 6: get it done. 85 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: Did you have an inkling coming in that you might 86 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: get all these targets, all these opportunities seven grabs ninety 87 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: one yards receiving. Do you ever have a gut feel 88 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: going into a game like this? 89 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 6: No, I try to approach every game the same. Tried 90 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 6: to stick to my process, my routine and just trusting 91 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 6: that and just just continue to stay ready for the 92 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 6: opportunity and just make the most of it when I can. 93 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: What's your mentality once you catch the ball? You had 94 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 2: a lot of yards after catch, like for example last week, 95 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: Trey had ninety seven of his one hundred and thirty 96 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: four after the catch. What are you telling yourself once 97 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 2: you get the ball in your mits? 98 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 6: The first thing is protect the ball, obviously, that's the 99 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 6: most important thing, and then after that, just trying not 100 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 6: to get tackled by the first guy and just trying 101 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 6: to run hard, just play physical. 102 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jacoby Brissett told the media this week. You can 103 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: sense he can hear literally here the defense shouting out 104 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: eighty five all the time. Obviously, you know they're giving 105 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: him a lot of attention. Then give Michael Wilson a 106 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: lot of attention. What does that do to a defense? 107 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: And you know, what's the opportunities that create for other guys? 108 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 5: And we have a lot of dudes. 109 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 6: A lot of skilled players on our team, Marv, Mike, Weave, 110 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 6: guys that got injured, Zay, we have We have plethoro 111 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 6: of guys that you know, can make plays all over 112 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 6: the field. And obviously when you double certain guys on 113 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 6: the team, it allows opportunities for everybody else. And if 114 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 6: you make the most opportunities you can, you know you can, 115 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 6: you can do well for yourself. 116 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: So I'd also mentioned how often you come back to 117 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: the side and I look at the tablet and say, 118 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: you know what, that had nothing to do with the 119 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: defense that was on us. To what degree, is this 120 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: one of those games where you feel like, man, there 121 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 2: were opportunities out there. 122 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's every game, right, That's every game. 123 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 6: I wish I would have broke a few more tackles. 124 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 6: There was a couple of plays that I had where 125 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 6: I felt like I could have scored, and obviously that 126 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 6: would have changed the game around. But I guess for 127 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 6: every player, I mean, there's all You're never gonna play 128 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 6: a perfect game, and you just have to try to minimize, 129 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 6: you know, minimize the mistakes. 130 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 5: And just you know, decrease the margins. For Martin late. 131 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: Third quarter, though you had the third and eight, Cardinals 132 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: had the ball at the fifty, you had the twenty 133 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: five yard or take us through that play call? Do 134 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: you remember that in particular and what enable that to 135 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: go for big yards? 136 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 6: I think everybody's just doing their job, all eleven guys 137 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 6: on the field doing their job and you know, just 138 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 6: executing the play. 139 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 5: And I think that's that's what it comes down to. 140 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: Last question for Elijah Higgins. So many injuries. Cardinals lead 141 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 2: the NFL in virtually every category, and you're watching guys 142 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: get carted off. I think a lot of fans wonder 143 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 2: how tough is that mentally? You know the cost of 144 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: potentially can come with playing this game, but how tough 145 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 2: is that to mentally cope within the moment. 146 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 6: I mean, it's emotional for sure, especially when you see 147 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 6: your brothers go down, and it's tough. 148 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 5: It's tough, but. 149 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 6: I think that's opportunity to reflect and just and just 150 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 6: you know, be thankful for the opportunity to play the game. 151 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 6: You never know, obviously, you never know what the future holds, 152 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 6: and you just had to take every play like at 153 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 6: your last and just enjoy them mom with with your guys, 154 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 6: because obviously things can happen, and it's tough. It's the 155 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 6: nature of the game. We know we signed up for. 156 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 6: But yeah, we called your name a lot. Thank you 157 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 6: for the time and insight appreciate it. 158 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 5: There, I thank you so much. There you go, Elijah Higgins. Guys. 159 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, seven catches ninety one yards a career highs longest 160 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: was twenty five The Cardinal's Locker Room Show, presented by 161 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: Tim Hovik, Santan Forward and Gilbert Right on the Price, 162 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: right on the corner of the Santan two to two 163 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: Freeway and val Vista. How much of the getting that 164 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: Elijah Higgins had had to do with what the defense 165 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: was doing to Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison, and Michael Wilson. 166 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 4: Well, the funny thing is a lot of his big 167 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 4: plays today came on big blitzes by Atlanta, So they 168 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 4: made it look like he was staying in the block, 169 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 4: which he does. He shows like he's gonna block and 170 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 4: then boom once the blitz triggers, you chip, you get out, 171 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: you leak out, and they lose them in coverage. And 172 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: that was probably a big part of the game plan. 173 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 7: Today. 174 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 4: They know that they blitz a lot. Hey, let's make 175 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 4: it look like we're gonna go seven man protection, but 176 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 4: then we're gonna leak this guy out. 177 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: He had a great day and unfortunately the Cardinals didn't 178 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: have enough again. They were up thirteen to three at 179 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 3: one point, then they trailed twenty six to sixteen. They 180 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: got a field goal late, they had a chance down 181 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: seven with possession two minutes to go, bought a great 182 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: play by Henderson intercepting Jacoby Brissett for all intents and purposes, 183 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: ends the game. The Cardinals lose twenty six to nineteen. 184 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: In terms of what Paul talked about with Elijah Higgins 185 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: at the end, there the injuries Garrett Williams, Walter Nolan. 186 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: Don't know that we're going to know anything more from 187 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon because we know that both guys were carded off, 188 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 3: one with an achilles that's Williams and then Walter Nolan 189 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: with a knee injury. As a player. This again was 190 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 3: just as I'm thinking about it, watching how devastated these 191 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 3: guys are. Does it when you're hurt this late in 192 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: the season, does that add to the devastation knowing it 193 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: could cost you next year? 194 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 7: Absolutely? 195 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 4: I mean I remember specifically it was the Red and 196 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: White scrimmage in August whenever I tore my knee, and 197 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 4: I remember being devastated. I mean, I knew my knee 198 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 4: was done. I knew my season was over. And I 199 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 4: remember getting a phone call from Carson Palmer. On the 200 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 4: drive home my wife, she couldn't say anything right on 201 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 4: that way home. I was so mad. The world was ending, 202 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 4: the walls were closing in on me. And Carson talked 203 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 4: to me, who'd been through some injuries, and he was like, 204 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: you have to take every silver lining that comes with 205 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: this injury. Hey, what leg is it? It's my left leg? Okay, well, 206 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 4: at least you'll be able to drive with your right leg. 207 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 4: And then it was like, hey, it happened in August, 208 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 4: you'll be back next September, like for the season. So 209 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: there's all these silver linings you have to try and find. 210 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 4: When it happens in December like this, it's either one 211 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: of two things. You're just mentally coming to grips with 212 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 4: the fact that it's gonna be December November before you 213 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 4: can even start even wrapping your head around playing again, 214 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 4: or you to tell yourself that I'm going to be 215 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 4: the most motivated person and be the first person to 216 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 4: come back in seven months or six months. 217 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 3: And if not, and again it could depending on how 218 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: next scene his season is going come down to an 219 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: organizational decision if those are And again I know we're 220 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: not supposed to speculate on injuries, but just based on 221 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 3: the back two guys are carted off it is December 222 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: twenty first that if it's something where it's late in 223 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 3: the year, it is an injury that is something that 224 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 3: takes that long to come back from, and if things 225 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 3: aren't going well, the organization may make the decision, hey, 226 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: it's not worth it at this point. And that's something 227 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 3: as a player I got to imagine you got to 228 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: live with because it's not just all about that it does. 229 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: There is the fact, you know, outside factors in terms of, 230 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 3: you know, medically, what did the doctor say, but also 231 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 3: what does the organization think? And unfortunately for Walter Nolan, 232 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 3: that one. I think of all the things that have 233 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 3: happened the last two months of the year, that one 234 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 3: may rival the fact that they're losing. Just the losses. 235 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 3: I think the Nolan injuries right there, because it looked 236 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 3: like he got something with him. 237 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: He looks to be special, but I mean, this is 238 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 4: just another setback, right, Like we were sitting there and 239 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 4: all we kept hearing was how great this kid was 240 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: gonna be. Right, and then he gets his first game 241 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 4: against Dallas and he showed exactly what we had heard. 242 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 4: And then he gets a setback and he pulls some 243 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 4: games back where he's injured and misses some games. But 244 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: then he comes back and it's like, oh, there he 245 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 4: is again. He shows up again, and then he shows 246 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 4: up again in the next game, and then the next game, 247 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden this happens and you 248 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 4: start to wonder and it's like, Okay, well, you know, 249 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: you basically lost most of this season, and if God 250 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 4: forbid and he ends up losing next season, now you 251 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: don't see him until year three. And this is supposed 252 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 4: to be a generational type talent. 253 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 7: It just you hate to see it. 254 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett played well. He was under duress for a 255 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: good part of the game. Again, the interception hard to 256 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 3: say that's on him. It's not like it was a 257 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: bad read and it wasn't a great throw, but it 258 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 3: was just a great play. But overall, assess what you 259 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 3: saw from Brissette today. 260 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 5: You didn't get to see much of them. 261 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 4: I mean, I remember during the broadcast, I remember you saying, oh, 262 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 4: he's only throwing the ball ten times at some point 263 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 4: in the second half, And it was partly because the 264 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 4: run game got going today. And I think that's one 265 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 4: thing that we can take a positive from this game. 266 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 4: I thought the run game looked pretty good against a young, 267 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 4: talented defense, and there was some big holes, there were 268 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 4: some big runs. There was we generated some explosives in 269 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 4: the run game, which we really haven't seen very much 270 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 4: this year. But having said that, I think they leaned 271 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: a little too much on that run game today. I 272 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 4: think they kept going back to it and again, if 273 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 4: you go there, you go there, you go there, and 274 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 4: then you're stuck at third and seven. Well then you 275 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 4: don't get it. Now, all of a sudden, you're either 276 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 4: kicking a field goal which we missed, or you're putting 277 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 4: the ball. And you know, far too often we were 278 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 4: sitting there looking at the scoreboard saying, oh, it's another 279 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 4: one score game, and it's you know, I think I 280 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 4: think far too much with this offense leans on you know, 281 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 4: just hanging around, hanging around, hanging around and hoping to 282 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 4: win it at the end of the game as opposed 283 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 4: to being the aggressor and going out and taking the game. 284 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 3: Chad Ryland missed a couple of field goals. He did 285 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 3: make a thirty four yard or late, but at the 286 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 3: rate that he's been missing field goals as a guy 287 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 3: that was once a high draft pick that got released 288 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: because he was having trouble with accuracy, you start to 289 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: wonder about what's going on in his head. And it 290 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: may not matter for the next two games, but it 291 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 3: does matter for next year as you're trying to figure out, Okay, 292 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 3: we believed in him enough after what we saw last 293 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: year to make him our kicker this year. Have we 294 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 3: seen enough at the end of this year to keep 295 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 3: him next year? That will be a decision the Cardinals 296 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 3: have to make. 297 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. 298 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 4: I think kicker is one of the most finicky positions 299 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 4: on a roster because you look at a guy like 300 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 4: Jake Moody, who was another guy was drafted super high 301 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 4: out in San Francisco, and then eventually it became time 302 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: where Okay, we got to pull the plug at some 303 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 4: point because this is this isn't going to work. And 304 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 4: kickers the most equatable position to a golfer, and it's 305 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 4: all between your ears. 306 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 5: It's all mental, right. 307 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 4: I mean, all these guys can kick in a mile, 308 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 4: they can all they all have the talent. They were 309 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 4: drafted or they weren't drafted, and they get into a 310 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 4: camp and prove that they should be here. But the 311 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 4: minute that you start to question just a little bit. 312 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 4: It's no different than getting the yips in golf. And 313 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 4: you know, you hope that's not the case. But when 314 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 4: you start to see more misses than you see makes 315 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 4: at some point, now you start to question yourself. And 316 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 4: once you question yourself as a kicker, and you lose 317 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 4: your confidence. It's a wrap three different holders this year. 318 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 4: You wonder if that was impactful at all off for 319 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 4: Chad Ryland. But now that's again something the Cardinals will 320 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 4: have to address in the offseason, along with the obvious 321 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: the quarterback, and you mentioned Jacoby Brissett. Given the situation, 322 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 4: the circumstances, the overall context, hard to ask much more 323 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 4: from Jacoby Brissett. What we've seen from Brissett is what 324 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 4: the Colts saw, it's what the Patriots. He's been the 325 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 4: same guy. He's a very valuable backup. The question is 326 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 4: will he continue to be the backup once next season starts. 327 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 4: And if that's the case, who's the starter? Is a 328 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray? Is it somebody else? You got two more 329 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 4: games to get a look at Jacoby Brissett. I would 330 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 4: imagine that he will continue to be the quarterback. I 331 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: don't think they need to see Keaton Slovas. I think 332 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 4: they know what they have there. My guess as Brissette 333 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: plays the final two games and then that's again an 334 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 4: organizational discussion about the next step. But in terms of 335 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 4: the worth of Jacoby Brissett and what he's provided to 336 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 4: this team, he's been everything that the Cardinals thought he 337 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 4: would be. And it's nice to have that because there 338 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 4: are a lot of players on this roster that I 339 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 4: think the Cardinals thought they had one thing and maybe 340 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 4: they found out they had something else, not the case 341 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 4: with Persett. It's always great to have a borderline fringe starter, 342 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 4: if you will, and I think that's what Jacoby Brissett is. 343 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 4: I think he's capable of winning games and being a 344 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 4: starting quarterback in this league. I'm not so sure he's 345 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 4: capable of being your franchise leader. And that is part 346 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 4: of the reason why he is who he is and 347 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 4: why he's been where he's at his entire career. He's 348 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 4: just been kind of slotted in this role of he's 349 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 4: better than most backups, if not all backups, but is 350 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 4: he good enough to be your everyday starter? And he's 351 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 4: been very good. They're the reason they're losing games is 352 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 4: certainly not falling on his shoulders. But and it's great 353 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 4: to have this problem. It's great to have that guy 354 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 4: that whenever you need him, he can step in and 355 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 4: win you games. But you know, I think the reality 356 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 4: is this. The reality is what this team has put 357 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 4: on tape from top to bottom has not been good 358 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 4: enough this year, and they're clearly going to need to 359 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 4: make some moves this offseason. And the reality is is 360 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 4: you got to find a way to go get your 361 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 4: guy who's going to be your guy for the next 362 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: ten to fifteen, twenty years, because those are the teams 363 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 4: that have stability, they have consistency. You look at Josh Allen, 364 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 4: he's lost four or five different coordinators over his time, 365 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 4: but he's that talented and he continues and with guys 366 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 4: that aren't maybe as good around them to hold that 367 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 4: team together, right, And you know, same with Mahomes. Maybe 368 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 4: not the most talented team every year, but you got 369 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 4: that guy, and so that stability and that consistency you 370 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 4: got to find and start there, and then you got 371 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 4: to build the team around it. You got to build 372 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 4: an offensive line, you got to build the defensive line, 373 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 4: Start with the most important spots, and go build a team, 374 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 4: because this team's got a lot of holes right now 375 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 4: and they're gonna need to find a way to fix them. 376 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 3: You mentioned in the pregame show you really liked what 377 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: you saw from John Gains last week. I'm sure watching 378 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 3: the film you'll be able to learn more. But what 379 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 3: did you think about him and the other young offensive 380 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: linemen in this game. 381 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 4: I thought the group up front played pretty well today, 382 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 4: I really did. I mean, there was a couple of 383 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 4: times where they get stuck in some bad situations in 384 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 4: terms of play action, trying to create chunks and explosives 385 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 4: down the field, which then you know, you try and 386 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 4: limit those opportunities to four or five a game. But 387 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 4: in those four or five moments, you got to hold up, 388 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 4: and you know you're gonna have to hold up just 389 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 4: a little bit longer and fight just a little bit 390 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 4: longer on those plays, but for the most part, the 391 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 4: protection was pretty solid. There was a couple of third 392 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 4: down plays where they got into some jams and maybe 393 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 4: gave up a sack or a pressure a hit, but 394 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 4: the run game was vastly different than it's been all year, 395 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 4: so I think that's a win. Their six to zero 396 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 4: line package has been good in the run game and 397 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 4: in the play action game, so I'll be curious to 398 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 4: see what the film looks like. 399 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 3: Atlanta twenty six, Arizona nineteen. Jonathan Gannon has finished his 400 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 3: press conference. We were standing by for his interview with 401 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 3: Paul Kelvic and he's ready. Let's go to Paul. 402 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 2: All right, coach, Let's start with the very end of 403 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: the game. He get the fourth down, stop right fourth 404 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 2: and one of the thirty nine Cardinals hold, you get 405 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 2: the ball back just over two minutes to go, and 406 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 2: what are you thinking at that point? And you know 407 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: where ultimately do you think he came up short on 408 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 2: that last drive? 409 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 7: Yeah? 410 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 8: I think you know, we're thinking to go score and 411 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 8: tie the game and either go for two to win 412 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 8: the game or tie and go to overtime. Takes all eleven, 413 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 8: you know, they made a play. Hats off to them, 414 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 8: but you know, execution down to stretch there. It takes 415 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 8: eleven guys. 416 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 2: Was there anything in that second half that kept the 417 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: offense from kind of regaining some of the rhythm it 418 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 2: had in the first half. 419 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I don't know. I know, you had 420 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 8: the three and out punt and then we had a 421 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 8: field goal. We had a miss field goal, so we 422 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 8: you know, the one three and out was was tough, 423 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 8: but you know, they weren't on a field a ton. 424 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 8: I thought Atlanta controlled the ball. We didn't get as 425 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 8: many plays off as you'd want there and not as 426 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 8: it was a low possession game, but I thought the 427 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 8: offense battled man. 428 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, in terms of getting the ball to Michael Wilson 429 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 2: and Trey McBride. Is that is that getting tougher week 430 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 2: by week? Was there anything particular they were doing. 431 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 7: Yeah. 432 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 8: They definitely had a good plan for Trey, you know 433 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 8: what I mean, and he you know, didn't have as 434 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 8: many targets and catches as he as he normally does. 435 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 8: But I thought, you know, like when you do that, 436 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 8: then you got space and zones and different people on 437 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 8: you know, our different guys. I thought Higgins stepped up, 438 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 8: played well. You know, I thought he had kind of 439 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 8: a career day. Converted some third downs, had some explosives, 440 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 8: So that was good to see. Teams are going to 441 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 8: be aware of eighty five, there's no doubt. 442 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Elijah Higgins. I mean his yards after catch 443 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 2: really stood out, as. 444 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 8: We all right, good run after catch guy, man, he 445 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 8: battled his butt off today. 446 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: Speaking of the run game, ninety five yards rushing in 447 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 2: the first half, what'd you think of the efficiency overall? 448 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 5: You got some of the explosives you were looking for. 449 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, I liked it. I thought it was good. 450 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 8: You know, some of the stuff that was going to 451 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 8: the perimeter on gap schemes they knocked back a couple 452 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 8: of times. But I thought our downhill run game looked 453 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 8: pretty good. I thought Mike ran it pretty good, Amaro. 454 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 8: At the end of the half, there popped the one. 455 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 8: Now we had a chance to kick a kick a 456 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 8: field goal we ended up missing, but you know, I 457 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 8: thought we did a good job with it. 458 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: In terms of the old line, especially against Atlanta defensive front, 459 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: a lot of guys talked about how multiple they are, right, 460 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 2: and they'll bring a variety of different blitzes. 461 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 5: Did you see a lot of that today? 462 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean off the top of my head, yeah, 463 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 8: I mean they we like I said they they made 464 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 8: it hard to get the ball to the perimeter. But 465 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 8: I thought we did a good job of moving I'm 466 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 8: interiorly in the inside there and getting some movement and 467 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 8: generating some good runs there. 468 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 5: Mode to play. 469 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 2: What'd you think, especially when it goes fourth quarter you 470 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: get a couple of fourth down stops. 471 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought it was good. Man. They battled all 472 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 7: the way to the end. 473 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 8: You know, we ultimately came up short, and I you know, 474 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 8: you feel terrible and you're down, but we're not defeated. 475 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 5: Man. 476 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 8: We're gonna come back to work and put all our 477 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 8: energy and focus into Cincinnati, go win a game. 478 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 2: B Jeon Robinson in the past game, how problematic is that? 479 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 7: Yeah? 480 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 8: I didn't, you know, I think, you know, we we 481 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 8: had some chances to you know, there are some one 482 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 8: on ones there. He had some chances to get it 483 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 8: down a little quicker. He's a good player, man, He's 484 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 8: he's you know, he's he hasn't gotten really bottled up 485 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 8: all year. I thought the one run kicked out the backside. 486 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 8: We had a pressure on. We got to do a 487 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 8: better job of making sure that we keep the ball 488 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 8: on our inside pad. But he's a tough player. The 489 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 8: one drive that I was down about, he touched it 490 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 8: three times and they scored. He had like the explosive 491 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 8: maybe two explosives and scored. That was a quick drive there. 492 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 8: You know, he's a tough player. He's a good player. 493 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 5: And against Kyle Pitts. 494 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 2: You saw will Johnson against him, obviously, you know Denzel Berg, 495 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 2: you know Garrett Williams before he left. So it's sort 496 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 2: of a variety guys you put on on their tight 497 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: end at times. Or was that just a basis of 498 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: the zone coverage. 499 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 7: Yes, no, it's it's how they deploy him. 500 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 8: So we knew everybody was gonna end up being on 501 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 8: him because they move him around the formation pretty good. 502 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 8: So you know, he had a couple of third down 503 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 8: catches there, which I thought led to some points which 504 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 8: we we got to get off the field a little 505 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 8: better on third down. But he's a good player too. 506 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 2: Darius Robinson, we called his name quite a bit. He 507 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: was in on both of the fourth down stops in 508 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. 509 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 5: Would you see out of fifty six yeah. 510 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 8: I thought he played violin. I thought he played fast, 511 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 8: played with good technique. Mason plays, He was a playmaker 512 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 8: out there. He was disruptive today. 513 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 2: Will Johnson, denzil Burke, Cody Simon are some of the 514 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 2: rookies starting to kind of come into form here late. 515 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 8: Goring, Yeah, I thought Will had a good day. It 516 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 8: seemed like when the you know, it was unfortunate too. 517 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 8: He had the third down stop, but we jumped off side. 518 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 8: I thought he played well. He challenged, got up, challenge guys. 519 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 8: You know, they threw a couple of go balls to him. 520 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 8: He knocked them down. Same thing with Denzel. Those guys 521 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 8: are playing. Those guys are playing well. 522 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 2: And Walter Nolan late second quarter we called his name 523 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 2: on three straight plays. 524 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 5: How tough was it to see his injury? 525 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's tough, man. 526 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 8: You know, we had Sweaty go out of the game, 527 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 8: Garrett go out of the game, Walt go out of 528 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 8: the game. It's just you gotta you gotta reset, and 529 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 8: people got to step up and do their job. But 530 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 8: you know, obviously they just asked me about the media. 531 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 8: How bad do you feel obvious any injury, you feel bad? 532 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 7: You know what I mean? But that's you got to 533 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 7: keep playing. 534 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: How tough is it to not look at the fact 535 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 2: you lead the league in injuries and not you know, 536 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: do you have to. 537 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 5: Account for that in a locker room? 538 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: Do you have to sort of monitor guys in their 539 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 2: mental state considering? 540 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we talk about it with our guys. 541 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 8: That's kind of our health bucket.
