Speaker 2: Here we go, one handed catching a touchdown. Oh baby,

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: I'm that fail.

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: Here's Craig Grioloud, Paul Calvic and nine year NFL veteran

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: Rob Frederickson.

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 4: So you really got to hand it to the NFL

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: to make sure they stay top of mind. And yes,

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: it is Super Bowl week, but the news of the

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: weekend and the National Basketball Association certainly hopped everyone's thought

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: process still to this day. Yet what happened on Monday morning?

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 4: Oh yes, the NFL says we'll raise the stakes a

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: little bit. Miles Garrett, I want out of Cleveland. And

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: then right before Super Bowl Monday nights, Cooper Cup posts

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 4: on social media, Hey I just have been informed I'm

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: going to be traded. So yes, it is all about

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 4: the movement and making sure you are our top story

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: above the fold, as they like to say for those

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: that still read newspapers. Rob But again, it's all about

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 4: making sure you are the story of the day, maybe

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: now more of the story of the hour, because things

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 4: happen so fast in the sports world.

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 5: The NFL does not want to allow the NBA to

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 5: have their day in the sunshine and all the attention.

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 5: Of course, it's got to be about the NFL and

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett, Cooper Cup. Those are big names. Two big

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 5: names right there that are either requesting a trade or

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 5: informed that they're going to be traded. So yeah, there's

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 5: there's a lot of things starting and brewing in the NFL,

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 5: and as we enter into kind of the free agency

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 5: period and the push for the draft, it'll be it'll

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: be exciting and interesting to see what goes forward.

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 6: I mean, we went into February and all of a sudden,

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 6: it's trade wars everywhere. It's not just the NBA, it's

43
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 6: the NFL, it's the world economy. It's Mexico, it's Canada,

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 6: it's China. I mean, pretty soon you're gonna be NFL

45
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 6: and NBA owners throwing tariffs on guys. I mean it's

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 6: they're trade wars everywhere.

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: When you played rob, I mean, this is this is

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 4: kind of relatively new as far as first happened in

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: the NBA with that player empowerment. Hey I want to

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 4: I want more of a say on where I play,

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: where I live. But this is again there's a there's

52
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: a fine line on on how you do it and

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: then whether it stays private or it goes public. But

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: this is, this is unheard of because guys, back when

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: you were played, even going ten years ago, you just

56
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: you got drafted and you stayed there until you were

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 4: told we don't want you anymore.

58
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how it was. And and look, social media

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 5: has changed so much, right we we didn't have that.

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 5: If you wanted to get something out, you had to

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: get some reporter to come into the top room, tell

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 5: me some Paul KELVC type guy, and hey, I want

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 5: to be traded now. It just didn't happen back then.

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 5: You're right, And even with college like college, you you

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 5: picked a college, you went to that college you stayed

66
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 5: at that college, that's all changed now. So yeah, there

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 5: is certainly an element to that where the players are

68
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 5: more empowered now, uh to really to dictate or try

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 5: to where they go, what what the terms are, and

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 5: and uh, you know it's it could be good and bad.

71
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 5: I can see it both ways. And and you think

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: about college, right, I see that that it's important for

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: the players to have some ability to to kind of

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: mark their future and to establish their future. And then

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: in the pros, obviously, yeah, if coaches can go anywhere

76
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 5: they want, you know, there's got to be something there

77
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 5: for the players too.

78
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 6: I mean, Cleveland GM Andrew Berry can stand there at

79
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 6: the Senior Bowl and say, we are not trading Miles Garrett.

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 6: I won't even take two first round picks for him.

81
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 6: And then Miles Garrett says, hey, you're not the boss

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 6: of me, and I'm going to release my own statement

83
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 6: and I'm going to force my own way out. And

84
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 6: then twenty four hours later, NFL dot Com runs a

85
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 6: story nine best fits for Miles Garrett. So you know,

86
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 6: there he is speaking it into existence. And oh, by

87
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 6: the way, Cardinals are on that list. Yes, they are

88
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 6: just saying they are tops, not tops, but they are

89
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 6: among the top half on that list. So it's going

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 6: to be interesting to pay attention to. But it is

91
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 6: the one thing in the National Football League that is constant,

92
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 6: and that is change, whether coaching changes or player changes.

93
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 6: The Cardinals, though for the first time under head coach

94
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 6: Johnathan again and Paul, are going to have some changes

95
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 6: to the coaching staff. Two that we know for sure,

96
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 6: Clayton Adam is moving on the offensive line coach going

97
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 6: to the Dallas Cowboys to be their OC, and inside

98
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 6: linebackers coach Sam sifkaz get into promotion on the college ranks,

99
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 6: becoming a defensive coordinator at Virginia Tech. So those are

100
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 6: the two that we know. Everything else is just kind

101
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 6: of reported. We'll wait for the official announcements. We can

102
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 6: touch on some of the names, but that's not what

103
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 6: we saw a year ago. At this time, the coaching

104
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 6: staff remained intact. Year two under JG however, you're gonna

105
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 6: have maybe up to a half dozen new faces on

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 6: the staff, all right, So two takeaways. One, it's extremely

107
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 6: rare not to have any turnover on a coaching staff

108
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 6: from one season to the next, especially when you have

109
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 6: nearly two dozen guys on an NFL coaching staff these days.

110
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 6: So last year was definitely the exception. But guess what.

111
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 6: When you show market improvement from one year to the next,

112
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 6: then guess what, a lot of your coaches are going

113
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 6: to be in demand. So you're seeing guys getting elevated.

114
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 6: You're seeing guys taking promotions. At Clayton Adams now all

115
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 6: of a sudden, he's going to be a coordinator. Even

116
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 6: the report today Spencer Whipball going from past game specialists

117
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 6: to the Jags QB coach according to multiple reports. So

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 6: that's what happens. And JG hinted as much in his

119
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 6: final media availability that, yeah, we have guys who are talented.

120
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 6: We have guys who are forging a reputation for themselves

121
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 6: around the league. Other teams know. They watch film, they

122
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 6: see they see a Cardinals defense where a lot of

123
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 6: the schemes the Cardinals were running. We're starting to be replicated,

124
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 6: dare we say plagarized by other teams. The best compliment

125
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 6: is is when someone adopts your scheme and starts running it.

126
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 6: So towards November December, at Cardinals players saying, you know what,

127
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 6: we watch film now we're seeing our schemes being run

128
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 6: by other teams, and guess what that leads to the

129
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 6: coaches who are drawing up those schemes.

130
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 4: It's good for those individuals, especially when you get a promotion,

131
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 4: get on the flip side of Robison like, Okay, well,

132
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, there's a hole in that room,

133
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: in a position room. That's a large loud voice because

134
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 4: they are with those particular player groups more than anyone else.

135
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 4: As far as a coordinator or a head coach.

136
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 5: Well, they are. But typically if you keep the same

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 5: coordinators both offensively and defensively, the position coaches are going

138
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 5: to kind of fall in line. But you know, in

139
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 5: terms of what they're being taught, you know, the techniques

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: may change. Individual coaches may have different techniques and different

141
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 5: individual periods that they want to implement for the players,

142
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: but overall the scheme will remain the same, and the

143
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: overall just the overall scheme of the defense of the offense,

144
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 5: that won't change. As long as you have position changes,

145
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 5: that's something that is easily navigable by the players.

146
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: Now, don't forget Drew Petsing was among the candidates that

147
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: was interviewed for the Chicago Bears opening, and then all

148
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: of a sudden you get word that is a wolf work.

149
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 4: The Cardinals quarterbacks coach was talked to for the Bears

150
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: oc job, but those two are going to be back now.

151
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: The new names that are being reported out there. As

152
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: far as the Cardinals new offensive line coach, Justin Fry

153
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: out of Ohio State, Yes, he did coach Paris Johnson

154
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: junior and previously when he was at UCLA coach John

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: Gains the second so there is some tie in within

156
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: that offensive line room. A couple of the new names defensively, again,

157
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: these are all reported, not officially announced by the Arizona

158
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: Cardinals as of yet. Defensive line coach. According to reports,

159
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: the team is moving on from Derek Leblon and they

160
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: have signed again out of the college ranks from the

161
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: University of Minnesota, Winston de Ladi Boudair, who was teammates

162
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: with Nick Rollis once upon a time at Minnesota. Another

163
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: new name inside linebacker coach Christian Garcia, former Dallas assistant

164
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: dB coach last season. He's replacing Sam Sifkis. So those

165
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 4: are the names, Paul, that we have to familiarize ourselves.

166
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: Get to know, because it's a good point by rob

167
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: the fact that the head coach is the same and

168
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: your coordinators on both sides of the ball are the same.

169
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: That now again you're just looking for guys to kind

170
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 4: of take that message from the OC and the DC

171
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 4: and translate.

172
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: It to the players.

173
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 6: Players, no players, coaches, no coaches. You see the connection

174
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 6: between existing coaches and some of the incoming coaches. Some

175
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 6: really young coaches, guys who are on the up, who

176
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 6: are on the rise, They are ascending, and so it's

177
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 6: interesting to see who they have identified. Look, the vibe

178
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 6: I get from the college game. In the college game

179
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 6: pays well, but the non stop, relentless recruiting and everything

180
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 6: else involved in the chaos at nil, NFL coaching jobs

181
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 6: are more coveted and desired than ever. It's more, it's

182
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 6: as competitive as ever to get some of these gigs.

183
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 6: So I'm guessing some of these names you just read

184
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 6: off that are coming in, those are guys who have

185
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 6: targeted the NFL. Some are coming from the college game,

186
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 6: and from all accounts, they have proven themselves and forged

187
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 6: quite a reputation based on their resumes coming in.

188
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 4: And then you look at what's going on across the

189
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: league as far as coaches like a Chip Kelly who's

190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: been in the NFL college now back in the NFL

191
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: as the Raiders offensive coordinator tripled his salary, have no

192
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 4: idea who he's going to quarterback that Raiders offense. But

193
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: I do think rob when you see some of the

194
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: names with this Cardinals coaching staff, it is and has

195
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: been a young coaching staff, and whether that is a

196
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: belief that there is a better tie in or you

197
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: can relate better to a younger player, but then these

198
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: are players that or coaches that have perhaps been more

199
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 4: familiar with the players that are coming into the league.

200
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: And then you know, obviously if JG is sticking around

201
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: for ten plus years, that changes a little bit, But

202
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: at least from the onset, there's good knowledge for some

203
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 4: of these prospects that are in their first year in

204
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 4: the National Football League or now as you get ready

205
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: for the draft looking at these seniors and juniors in

206
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: the college ranks.

207
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's a young team too, so that you

208
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 5: know you want to match those young players with coaches

209
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 5: that are young as well. And just back to Paul's point,

210
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 5: which I think is a great one, why would anyone

211
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 5: want to coach in college? Honestly, with the NIL, with

212
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 5: the transfer portal, you don't know what player you're gonna

213
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 5: have year to year, week to week almost and and

214
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 5: what's NIL going to do them? Are they are they

215
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 5: going to be all of a sudden empowered and and

216
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: not as receptive to coaching. So I agree with that

217
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 5: shift to the NFL coaching And always, you know, I've

218
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 5: always considered the NFL coaching to be the the really

219
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 5: the pinnacle. And when you think about it, it's it's

220
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 5: more of a collaborative relationship between coach and player. In

221
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 5: the NFL, it's not it's you know, it's first name,

222
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 5: it's you know what if we try this, let's do this?

223
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 5: Would this work? Do you like this? Whereas in college

224
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 5: it's more do this, get over here? What are you doing?

225
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 5: Get on the line? You know, it's it's uh, you know,

226
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 5: more seniority based in college, whereas in the pros it's

227
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 5: it's more collaborative. And I think that's a healthier relationship.

228
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 5: And to have young coaches come in that that are

229
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 5: more in tune with the young players of this team,

230
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: I think I think that makes for a healthy coaching

231
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 5: player relationship.

232
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: The other news item of the week is what we

233
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 4: saw on Sunday the Pro Bowl better than fifty four

234
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: thousand watching the NFC beat the AFC. And yes, Trey

245
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 5: NFC came out on top.

Speaker 2: Man, has so much fun. Thanks for everyone to.

Speaker 2: Oh no, Buddha with a house golf.

250
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 6: And they're the Cardinals celebrating.

251
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 9: Hey, that is our rack, Go cars, nfcs got to day.

252
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 10: How'd you see that?

253
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: Bro Blis went right?

254
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: Bude Baker having fun his seventh trip to the Pro

255
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 4: Bowl for Trey, his first, the third straight year in

256
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: which under this new format that the NFC has won.

257
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 4: And I got a little bone to pick with what

258
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: Eli Manning made the decision, I believe as far as

259
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 4: defensive MVP, he went with Byron Murphy four marows on

260
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: a cardinal. He had a pick six, Budda Baker had

261
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: a pick six. So how do you differentiate which pick

262
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: six was better? There were three total by the NFC.

263
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 4: But come on, Budda Baker is a veteran. Byron Murphy

264
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: is he's a young cat.

265
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 6: I mean, one guy's in his seventh Pro Bowl, the

266
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 6: other guy's in his first, you know. And Buddha he

267
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 6: actually played in the full contact way back when I

268
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 6: use that loosely full tackle full by the way, After

269
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 6: the game, Buddha's saying, I like this format more meaning

270
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 6: flag because it gives fans a chance to see our

271
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 6: faces and just kind of see who we are off

272
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 6: the field as well. And he said, we compete, but

273
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 6: we keep it civil. I was wondering, you know, I'm

274
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 6: watching the game a little bit up on the screens

275
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 6: of the gym because rob of course I live at

276
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 6: the gym, and there I was, and I'm like, wait

277
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 6: a minute, is there still a winner share and a

278
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 6: loser share? The answer is yes. The winning team got

279
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 6: ninety two thousand per player. The losing team got forty

280
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 6: six thousand per player. So especially when the second half

281
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 6: hits and the fourth quarter hits, yeah, the intensity rises

282
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 6: a little bit.

283
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: Well, look, I'll tell you flag football is competitive. It's

284
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 5: very competitive, you know. You and I we've seen it

285
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: with the girls flag football in high school and boys

286
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 5: flag football is going to be an Olympic sport. Flag

287
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 5: football is the way to really get with the youth

288
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: and grow this sport. And you know, I like it.

289
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 5: I like where they're going.

290
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 6: Goodell said to the media yesterday the NFL is considering

291
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 6: a pro flag football league, and a lot of people

292
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 6: think it's coming after the twenty eight Olympics because that'll

293
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 6: be the platform that launches it.

294
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans on Saturday quoted as saying, Hey,

295
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: this Pro Bowl quote good practice for me. In the Olympics.

296
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 4: There are a lot of NFL players that have their

297
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: eye on the Olympics and an Olympic medal in Los Angeles.

298
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: So again, a lot of moving parts within the National

299
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: Football League. We'll keep it current, We'll keep it local

300
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 4: here with the Arizona Cardinals. Kurt Warner his thoughts on

301
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 4: K one and MHJ next on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

302
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: Shot gunna snap Murray to throw a fade right side

303
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: of the end zone.

304
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: I'm the money to Marvin Harrison Junior. Touchdown. What a

305
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: throw by Murray.

306
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: That's his fourth touchdown pass, tying a career high.

307
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 8: You can see that coming a mile away, Marvin Harrison

308
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 8: Junior one on one against the corner, and he went

309
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 8: ahead and ran the fade, and sure enough, Kyler Murray

310
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 8: put it out there and Marvin Harrison Junior went and

311
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 8: got it.

312
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: Tex Fitz and let him know that Marvin Harrison Junior

313
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: just tied his rookie record. That's eight touch down catches,

314
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: tying in with An Kwon, Bolden and Larry for most

315
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: touchdown catches by a rookie and team.

316
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: Hisstery. Pretty good company right there, by the way.

317
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: If you're gonna text Fitch, you should also text An

318
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 4: Kwan as well. Although Fitz was in the building for

319
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: that Week eighteen win of the San Francisco forty nine ers,

320
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: and I still believe hash Wolf and you, Paul, you're

321
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 4: still waiting for that text message back from Number eleven.

322
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 6: Well, last time I texted Number eleven, it was to

323
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 6: appear on one of our radio shows, and he asked

324
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 6: in return that we attend Brophy football games to see

325
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 6: his son, and then he sent me the schedule. So

326
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, well, I'll look at the schedule. I'm

327
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 6: not going to sell Point because that's in Tucson, Larry,

328
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 6: but yeah, I'll take that under review. So yeah, that

329
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 6: Dave was having fun with that, because Larry likes to

330
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 6: have fun with us.

331
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: It was a quite the way to end a rookie

332
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: season for Marvin Harrison Junior his eighth touchdown reception as

333
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 4: the Cardinals beat the forty nine ers that day. Yeah,

334
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray with four touchdown reception or say four touchdown

335
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 4: tosses in that game. As we look at that connection,

336
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: if you will, between quarterback and wide receiver rob something

337
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: that we were looking forward to in twenty twenty four.

338
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: It was the talk of the offseason. It maintained the

339
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: talk of the season because we didn't really see it

340
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 4: on a consistent basis. That were flashes against the rams

341
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 4: against the forty nine ers in Miami. But that impact

342
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 4: that you were perhaps hoping for MHJ just wasn't there.

343
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: Statistically solid season, but I don't think just looking back

344
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 4: big picture, that there were enough impact moments within the season.

345
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's where statistics can lead you. Astray, Right,

346
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 5: You look at his statistics are very similar to what

347
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 5: Larry Fitzgerald did as a rookie, and it looks great.

348
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 5: But with the eye test, you see things that clearly

349
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 5: can be improved upon. And I think that the good

350
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 5: news is there's a lot of room for improvement for

351
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison June you're and for Kyler Murray and that

352
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 5: relationship between the two, you know, and and you saw

353
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 5: it work when it when it did work, it was electric.

354
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 5: But there's just it was just too few and far

355
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 5: between those plays of those those impactful plays for my liking.

356
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 5: And you know, it's it's something that I know is

357
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 5: going to get better. I know that relationship, that chemistry

358
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 5: is going to improve in the off season. In year two,

359
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 5: that's when you typically see the biggest jump in terms

360
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 5: of players and the light turning on for them and

361
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 5: saying Okay, I got this and let me do my

362
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 5: thing and and the quarterback being on the same page

363
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 5: with him. That's when you typically see these things happen.

364
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 5: And so maybe you look around the league and maybe

365
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: there were some other rookie receivers that that statistically were

366
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 5: just going off the charts, and you wonder, well, you know,

367
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: why isn't Marvin Why, why why isn't Marvin Harrison Junior

368
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 5: doing that? Well, it's going to come. Everybody. Everybody advances,

369
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: everybody grows, everybody learns at a different pace, and I

370
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 5: think the time for Marvin Harrison Junior is coming in

371
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 5: this sophomore season.

372
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 6: A couple of weeks ago, Big Red Rage, we had

373
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 6: Frank Sanders as our guest. In longtime Cardinals fans will remember,

374
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: the former second round pick had a heck of a

375
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: rookie year. In fact, he's number three all time in

376
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 6: Cardinals franchise history receiving yards as a rookie. And he said,

377
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 6: one luxury I had one luxury fits had as we

378
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 6: had another bona fide legit receiver next to us. I

379
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 6: had Rob Moore's wide receiver. One Larry had Ankwon Bolden.

380
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 6: Coming off a ridiculous rookie season, they took a lot

381
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 6: of the attention away from coverages and Marvin Harrison Junior

382
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 6: did not have that and we saw that all year long.

383
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 6: He got Jalen Ramsey and every other name corner in

384
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 6: the league. And so it was a process and like

385
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 6: any rookie, it was a roller coaster ride. But Frank

386
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 6: was very bullish that you're quote going to see a

387
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 6: different player end quote in year two, that he really

388
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: is going to ascend his second year now that he

389
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 6: has a good handle on Okay, what is the challenge

390
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 6: playing in the NFL.

391
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 4: Well, the good news is is Marvin's going to put

392
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 4: in the work. That's we all know because he We've

393
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 4: seen it and he has said as much. And I

394
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 4: think he was really satisfied with his year. And you

395
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: can make the same case k for Kyler Murray as

396
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: well as far as his game this season twenty one

397
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 4: passing touchdowns, but for those in Week eighteen. So again

398
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 4: the numbers get skewed, but it's not always about the statistics.

399
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 4: When you want to ask someone about the quarterback play, well,

400
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: can't go much better than Kurt Warner, who was very

401
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: good in a Cardinals uniform recently on the Big Red

402
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: Rage talked about K one going into twenty twenty five.

403
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 10: I still believe that the best offenses in the league

404
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 10: are those teams that can consistently make those kind of

405
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 10: mid range chunk throws to make the game easier. So

406
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 10: you don't have to make tenants won't play drives to

407
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 10: be successful. So his ability to kind of have the

408
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 10: patience and timing to get from one to two and

409
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 10: make more of those number two type throws down the

410
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 10: field is where I believe they have to improve. Where

411
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 10: Kyler has to improve because he does a number of

412
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 10: things right with number one and getting to his checkdowns.

413
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: Talent Wise, there is no debate Kyler Murray is extremely talented.

414
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 4: Now what is keeping him? What is keeping this team

415
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 4: from the next step? Ie playoffs, postseason run, super Bowl.

416
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray, you ask him about his goals, he doesn't

417
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 4: mention super Bowl. He makes it super Bowls, he makes

418
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 4: it plural. But there was something this season that kept

419
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 4: this offense Robin I think more specifically this passing offense.

420
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 4: I don't know if it was held in check, but

421
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 4: there was just something missing. And the only thing I

422
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: can come up with is just the consistency of a

423
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 4: downfield passing offense and making those drives not nine, ten, eleven,

424
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 4: twelve plays, but more on that four or five sixty

425
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: seven play range.

426
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 5: Yeah. So to have those big chunk plays, those those

427
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 5: big deep in cuts over the middle or down the sidelines,

428
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 5: you need the entire team to really be focusing on

429
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 5: the on the same thing and and to all be

430
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 5: doing their jobs. That starts with the offensive line. It

431
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 5: starts with the running backs either helping out and blocking

432
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 5: or or getting out into the checkdowns. And and it

433
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 5: comes down to the wide receivers and getting off of

434
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 5: coverage and and getting some separation. And that's that's one

435
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 5: area where I think has to be improved, the separation

436
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 5: for the for the wide receivers. You know, Trey McBride,

437
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 5: I don't know how much you can improve there. Interesting

438
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 5: you know, every time he had ten or more receptions

439
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 5: last season, the Cardinals lost. So, I I don't know

440
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 5: what that says, but you know, it's hard to improve

441
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 5: anything that that that man does. But there's room for

442
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 5: improvement across the across the line really in terms of

443
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 5: the yearson the Cardinals offense, UH, in order to get

444
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 5: those plays downfield, because it takes a little extra time.

445
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 5: It takes an extra second, second and a half for

446
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 5: those plays to develop downfield, and and so you know

447
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 5: there's there's enough accountability to go really from wide receiver

448
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 5: all the way down to the offensive line on those plays.

449
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 6: It's not surprising Kurt talks quite often about winning from

450
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: the pocket as a quarterback. That's the sort of quarterback

451
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 6: he was. Obviously, he was going to beat you with

452
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 6: his brain. He was going to beat you with his accuracy,

453
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 6: his anticipation. He was going to find the guy that

454
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 6: was open. He loved it when you blitz because he's like, Okay,

455
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 6: now I'm going to find the stress point in your

456
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 6: defense where you're not. And that is something that the

457
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 6: Cardinals need to improve as a unit as a passing game,

458
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 6: because what are defensive coordinators hellbent on doing making sure

459
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray doesn't extend the play or break the pocket.

460
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 6: They're doing anything and everything they can to keep him

461
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 6: in the pocket. And that's where the receivers have to

462
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 6: be on the same page, at the right place, at

463
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 6: the right time. And I still believe the first half

464
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 6: of this past season there wasn't enough of that. There's

465
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 6: a reason why Trey McBride had a record breaking season.

466
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 6: He's the guy in year three with the quarterback. Their

467
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 6: chemistry is to the point where they're beating any and

468
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 6: all coverages no matter. You can put Fred Warner on

469
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 6: him and he's beating them like a drum. And you

470
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 6: saw that in the season finale. That's how good they

471
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 6: are together. That's where the other receivers have to do

472
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 6: get on the same level with Kyler Murray.

473
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 4: And that might be why, to your point, Rob, that

474
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 4: Trey McBride was targeted so much, had so many receptions

475
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 4: because he's got a little bit more history with Kyler Murray.

476
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: It also helps that the tight end is certainly more

477
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 4: open underneath. And again for those shorter pass completions. But

478
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 4: again it goes back to that conversation, all right, yeah,

479
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: you can throw it to Trey McBride ten times, but

480
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: you might only gain fifty yards. A couple of deep

481
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 4: throws down field, and all of a sudden, you've got

482
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: eighty ninety yards on a scoring drive.

483
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I also think it comes down to play

484
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 5: calling and looking at the play calling from last season

485
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 5: and what worked for Marvin Harrison Junior specifically, we're talking

486
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 5: about him in my mind, when he was at its best,

487
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 5: at his best, and when Kyler was at his best

488
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 5: with Marvin Harrison Junior, it was those deep crossing routes

489
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 5: came off of play action and those are the type

490
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 5: of routes where Marvin was able to get some separation

491
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 5: and able to use his athletic ability. And so do

492
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 5: we incorporate more of those? You know, those are things

493
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 5: I think that need to be looked at in this

494
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 5: offseason and really, you know, kind of tailor the game

495
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 5: plan to get these guys to really get in a

496
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 5: position where we can exercise and take advantage of their strengths.

497
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 6: And to Rob's point, coming off the week seventeen game

498
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 6: at the Rams, Marvin Harrison Junior said he was afforded

499
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 6: the ability to run some different routes, telling the media, Yeah,

500
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 6: there was a little bit of a change or an

501
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 6: evolution or an expansion of his route tree and what

502
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: he's able to show, and it worked. It caught the

503
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 6: Rams by surprise a few times. He had a couple

504
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 6: of chunk catches, I know, coming out of the By

505
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 6: Jonathan Ganatolos in his TV show, he did want to

506
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 6: see some improvement from Marvin Harrison Junior and Kyler Murray

507
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 6: specifically outside the numbers. That's where he thought there was

508
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 6: room for improvement, and I think they did in December

509
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 6: and January. I think you did see that part of

510
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 6: their game get better.

511
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 4: We heard from Kurt on Kyle Er Murray. How about

512
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 4: one more from Kurt Warner before we take a time out.

513
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 4: What he saw from Marvin Harrison Junior in year one.

514
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 10: The biggest thing you always want to see with young

515
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 10: guys is growth, and to me, I saw that with

516
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 10: Marvin Harrison Junior throughout the year. Is that I saw

517
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 10: the growth from week one to where he was at

518
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 10: the end of the season. You saw him improved in

519
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 10: some of those areas that he struggled early on. So

520
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 10: that has to excite anybody in the organization or Cardinals

521
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 10: fans that hey, he's just learning it. And you know,

522
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 10: we often say the biggest drives for any players are

523
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 10: made between their first and second year.

524
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 4: Always good to hear Kurt Warner in a great conversation

525
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: if you missed the good Asycardinals dot com for the

526
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 4: full conversation on the Big Red Rage. But it goes

527
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 4: back to again, the numbers suggest that that relationship Paul

528
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 4: can be better because sixty two catches, one hundred and

529
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: sixteen targets, fifty three percent catch percentage. That's got to

530
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 4: be in the sixty five to seventy if you really

531
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 4: want that number one wide receiver Moniker and right now,

532
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 4: yes it's Marvin because he's the guy, but he's not

533
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 4: giving you the numbers of a number one wide receiver.

534
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 4: And it's a process.

535
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 6: Not only did he get number one corners the whole season,

536
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 6: but there's very physical play that he had to deal

537
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 6: with that he didn't get a whole bunch of. And

538
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 6: Kurt Warner mentioned that you didn't see a lot of

539
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 6: that Ohio State. He's always wide opener. They're giving him

540
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 6: a huge cushion. A lot of teams went the opposite.

541
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 6: They came up pressman cover, and you got to dictate

542
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 6: what did drew Therell say the Cardinals passing game coordinator

543
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 6: wide receivers coach late in the year, meeting the media set,

544
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 6: I tell all my receivers, guess what they're trying to

545
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 6: defend us. It sounds really simple, but we dictate to

546
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 6: the defense. And I think that was a challenge at

547
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 6: times for not only Marvin Erson Junior, but any rookie

548
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 6: getting used to that physicality. But as the season went on,

549
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 6: you saw a little better, getting some more separation top routes.

550
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 6: And some of that is because you know what, he

551
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 6: was returning fire and he was competing and in the

552
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 6: U have to do that in this league because they're

553
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 6: going to test you physically too many times.

554
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 4: I think we always heard, okay, we're taking what the

555
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 4: defense gives us. Into Paul's point, Roberts, Okay, well, how

556
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 4: about how about the Cardinals start dictating to defenses. This

557
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 4: is what we want to do, even though it might

558
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 4: not be successful early on, but keep pushing that envelope

559
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 4: and making sure that all right, at some point it's

560
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 4: going to click.

561
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

562
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 5: You see from Arizona Cardinals a lot of times personnel wise,

563
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 5: they'll have multiple tight end sets and so that kind

564
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 5: of dictates to the defense what personnel group they have

565
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 5: to be in. From there, now, the Cardinals want to

566
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 5: dictate what the plays are and what the routes are

567
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 5: going to be run. What's up to Marvin Harrison Junior

568
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 5: and Kyler Murray To really build on that relationship going

569
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 5: into the second season.

570
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 4: You want to see Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Junior and

571
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,760

576
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 3: Snap to Daniels play action my step drop throws deep

577
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 3: middle and it is intercepted at the eighteen yard line

578
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: by Garrett Williams. He's tackled there picking off Jaydon Daniels.

579
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, what a play by Garrett Williams. Ill

580
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 8: located with one hand, his right hand went out and

581
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 8: batted it down to himself.

582
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 3: Snapped to Herbert, preached up straight, drop, looks over the

583
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: middle side, arms it in complete at the six yard line.

584
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: Garrett Williams knocking the ball down. It was intended for

585
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: Disley and it's fourth down.

586
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 8: What a great play by Garrett Williams getting that right

587
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 8: hand across and knocking the pig out.

588
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 4: So would my bias show if I said the following,

589
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 4: Garrett Williams the best cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals in

590
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, would you be okay with that.

591
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 6: Paul or okay, considering the Alma Mater connection, the Syracuse connection,

592
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 6: I really want to disagree with that. I'm not I'm

593
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 6: gonna have a full disclosure. I really want to blow

594
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 6: your take out of the water, and I'm having a

595
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 6: hard time doing that, especially when Pro Football Focus ranked

596
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 6: him as the second best cover corner in the league.

597
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 6: Did I see that ranking that analytic correct.

598
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 4: Behi patser Tan.

599
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 6: I mean when the list starts with pats or Tan

600
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 6: and then that's the only guy ahead of you in

601
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 6: any cornerback ranking. Yeah, maybe he had a better season

602
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 6: than everyone realizes. You're truly included, and it.

603
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: Was just his first full season in the league year one.

604
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: Remember he made his debut halfway through the twenty twenty

605
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 4: three campaign. As we say welcome back, it is the

606
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: Cardinals Red Sea report Craig Realu, Paul Calvic, and Rob Friderckson,

607
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 4: as we put the spotlight on a cornerback group that's

608
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 4: unbeknownst to me until our executive producer pointed out Jimal Mahundro.

609
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 4: No pending free agents on the roster, so technically everyone

610
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 4: we assume, of course, you know what happens when you

611
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: assume rob But right now that cornerback room, most likely

612
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 4: there'll be some tweaks, but maybe not a major overall.

613
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 4: But hey, what do I know as we speak here

614
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: in early February.

615
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 5: It's a young group, athletic group. You look at like Starlink, Thomas,

616
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 5: Garrett Williams, Control Clark, Max Melton, Yeah, and John Murphy Bunting,

617
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 5: so that you know it's a young group, right, And

618
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 5: I feel like they've really come on and they've really

619
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 5: last year they started to kind of galvanize around each

620
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: other and really develop into a solid personnel group. And

621
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 5: Garrett Williams a second best in terms of coverage from

622
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 5: Pro Football Focus. Well, just imagine, guys, if the Arizona

623
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 5: Cardinals had a consistent pass rush, that alone makes cornerbacks better, right.

624
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 5: You know, if you have a consistent pass rush as somebody,

625
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 5: the group of guys that can get to the quarterback

626
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 5: and really affect the timing of routes and the timing

627
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 5: of delivery, that really helps out the cornerbacks. And I

628
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 5: don't think the Cardinals have had that. So this group

629
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 5: has really had to dig in and cover guys for

630
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 5: three to five seconds. At times, and that's tough to do.

631
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 5: I don't care who you are, so I'd like this group.

632
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 5: I like kind of where they're at and in terms

633
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 5: of their development, in terms of growing, and you know,

634
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 5: I see a really good future for them.

635
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 4: Two interceptions this season for Garrett Williams. At the end

636
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 4: of the season, he was asked in the locker room

637
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 4: what type of players he would like to see added

638
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 4: or needed within that locker room in order for the

639
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 4: Cardinals to win.

640
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 7: Guys who love ball, high character guys, but it's also

641
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 7: the thing of in his game time, guys who can

642
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 7: turn it on as well. And I think they've done

643
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 7: a really good job of bringing guys in like that,

644
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 7: and only more people are gonna come in. I think

645
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 7: the goals of Super Bowl and I think we're really

646
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 7: building towards that.

647
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 4: You look at some of the numbers as far as

648
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 4: the set secondary in terms of interceptions, the Cardinals finished

649
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: in the bottom third passes defense. They were among the

650
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 4: bottom third as far as the total numbers are concerned.

651
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 4: And again it goes back to all right, does a

652
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 4: better pass rush or more consistent pass rush help with

653
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: those numbers or do you need more? Do you need

654
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 4: better quarterback play to get your hands on more football. Look,

655
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 4: if the.

656
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 6: Cardinals ad via the draft of the corner room, I

657
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 6: wouldn't be shocked. I do not expect it on the

658
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 6: first or maybe even the second day. I think they're

659
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 6: still building from the inside out. I think you saw

660
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 6: a couple of players beyond Garrett Williams, you know, on

661
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 6: the ascension towards the end of the year, in particular,

662
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 6: Max Melton, I thought, really got into his own and

663
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 6: got a lot of praise from the coaches, especially Jonathan

664
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 6: Gannon the final month month and a half on his

665
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 6: TV show, and that's his area of expertise that he

666
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 6: has coached the longest. He had a lot of positive

667
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 6: things to say about the progress that Max Melton made.

668
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 6: So that's big time there. Starling Thomas. I, you know,

669
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 6: I did not realize until he came on the Big

670
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 6: Red Rage late in the season. He ran a sub

671
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 6: four three forty at his pro day. He was not

672
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 6: invited to the combine. He ran a four to two

673
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 6: eight is pro day UAB So he has talent, and

674
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 6: he has the speed, and he's been smart enough to

675
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 6: attach himself almost literally to the hip of Buddha Baker,

676
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 6: he's been improving a lot. But once again, if you

677
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 6: can and look at the Eagles this year in the

678
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 6: Super Bowl with two rookie corners and Quinny and Mitchell

679
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 6: and Cooper de jene. So you know what, I think

680
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 6: the Cardinals are set at this position group. If they

681
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 6: don't put a high draft pick, I'm perfectly fine. If

682
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 6: they want to go elsewhere in this draft, I think,

683
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 6: you know what, there's a lot of justification for that.

684
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 4: You bring up Max Maltain. How about we hear from

685
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 4: someone who knows about the position, knows about the secondary.

686
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 4: Buddha Baker on what he saw from Max in year one.

687
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 9: I've seen him grow a lot, the knowledge of the game.

688
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 9: Played man a lot in college. So just understanding the

689
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 9: different type of zones that you know, we play with,

690
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 9: and I'm understanding Man as well, different techniques he can do,

691
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 9: but also getting that football knowledge. He's done a great job.

692
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 9: He's asking questions in the meetings, you know, just getting better.

693
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 4: You brought up the youth in that room, Rob And

694
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 4: there's another name that we did not see this season,

695
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 4: Elijah Jones third round pick. So there's a reason that's

696
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 4: an investment in a player at a position that always

697
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 4: you're looking for more cornerbacks, but with Jones, it's the

698
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 4: height six foot one. Do you need maybe a little

699
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 4: bit more of a taller, more physical cornerback against some

700
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 4: of the wide receivers that you're facing on a weekend,

701
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 4: week out basis, don't know. I haven't seen him on

702
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 4: the football field. But when you have Garrett Williams, when

703
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 4: you have Starlininge Thomas, when you have Max Melton, and

704
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 4: then you had a veteran in Sean Murphy, Bunny, that's

705
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 4: a solid group. Now it's okay, where do those younger players,

706
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 4: what steps do they take moving forward, whether that's year

707
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: two or year three, year four.

708
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of these guys. You obviously cut your

709
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 5: teeth on special teams your rookie season and maybe even

710
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 5: your second season, maybe get some play here or there,

711
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 5: but yeah, your development is important. And you mentioned the height.

712
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 5: If you if you have the benefit of being over

713
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 5: six feet tall at a cornerback and you can still

714
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 5: cover and run and you have the quickness, that's that's

715
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 5: a plus, right because those fifty to fifty balls against

716
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 5: six foot four, six foot five wide receivers, you need

717
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 5: some height, you need some some size to you. But again,

718
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 5: I just keep going back to, you know, the athleticism

719
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 5: of this group and what they've been able to accomplish

720
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 5: without a consistent pass rush. To me, I'm with Paul,

721
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 5: and I've said this before. If if in terms of

722
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 5: just the draft and where where your head, where my

723
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 5: head's at in terms of the draft is you know,

724
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 5: if you if your hand's not in the dirt, I'm

725
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 5: not drafting you. This team needs to build from the

726
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 5: inside out on both sides of the ball. And and

727
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 5: you know, skill positions you can you can always find

728
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 5: some guys you can always supplement in free agency and

729
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 5: later in the draft, But for right now, my focus

730
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 5: would primarily be on the interior offensive line and the

731
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 5: defensive line, including edge.

732
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 6: Elijah Jones has to win the offseason. There's no doubt

733
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 6: about it. He's behind. He's behind. He not only lost

734
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 6: all his game reps, he lost valuable practice reps because

735
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 6: of injury, so he needed to put on a little weight.

736
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 6: But he has great size, he has unbelievable athleticism and instincts.

737
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 6: He's a really bright guy. So they're still upside there.

738
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 6: Elijah Jones I would say, get ready to kill the

739
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 6: offseason and then play a lot in the preseason games.

740
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 6: You're going to play two or three quarters of every

741
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 6: preseason game, try and catch up.

742
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 4: And then again we'll keep our eyes on free agency

743
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 4: in the draft. As far as all right, is there

744
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 4: improvements to that front seven that maybe help that secondary

745
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 4: a little bit so they have the time to get

746
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 4: some hands on some footballs. Only nine interceptions last season

747
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 4: by that secondary by the Cardinals in general, the goal

748
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 4: of every team the Super Bowl. Will take a look

749
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 4: at the big game coming up on Sunday. Next here

750
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 4: on the Arizona cardin Oles Radio Network.

751
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 11: Zero of the Clark the players fly skyward at the Eagles,

752
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 11: not just beat but Annihiley, the Washington Commanders. Fifty five

753
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 11: to twenty three.

754
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: What a day? Want to win? One a crown? What

755
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: a team? What a season? But it's not over yet.

756
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 4: One more snap puts the Lamar Hunt Trophy right back

757
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 4: into the Kansas City Trophy case going to a knee.

758
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: You can't doubt the Chiefs.

759
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 8: You can dislike the Chiefs, you can disrespect the Chiefs.

760
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 8: You're gonna have to deal with the Chiefs being the

761
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 8: first team.

762
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: In National Football League history to win back to back Super.

763
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 8: Bowls and go to the Super Bowl for a chance

764
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 8: for a three pet.

765
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 4: And then run began right in our own backyard, State

766
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 4: Farm Stadium two years ago, Chiefs beating the Eagles for

767
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 4: their first of what they hope will be a three peak.

773
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 4: gentleman to my right that has Chiefs fatigue. But these

774
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 4: are the two best teams in the National Football League,

775
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 4: are they nuts?

776
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 6: I mean, if Chiefs Radio says I can dislike the Chiefs,

777
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 6: then then I will. I'll take you up on that offer.

778
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 6: That's my stance.

779
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 5: Hot take here, Americans. We as Americans, we do not

780
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 5: like success. Okay, hot take here. Now. Look, we like

781
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 5: the comeback story, all right, we like the theg We

782
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 5: like the underdogs to get there, we knock them down,

783
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 5: sustain success. We loathe. We do not like it. I

784
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 5: think we get tired of it, we get bored of it.

785
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 5: You know, we want something different, we want something new.

786
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 5: And this is where the country is right now.

787
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you go from hero to villain, there's no doubt

788
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 6: about it. But you know, there's also the ad nauseum factor.

789
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 6: I'll just throw it out there.

790
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 10: You know.

791
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 6: It's the repeated incessant commercials starring all members of the Chiefs,

792
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 6: and it's just the uh, you know, the celebrity aspect,

793
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 6: you know. I mean, I'm pulling for Bradley Cooper, you know,

794
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 6: just against Taylor Swift. You know, give me a new

795
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 6: celebrity out there. You know, Bradley Cooper has some musical chops.

796
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 6: Just go watch Stars Born, watch the movie. So you know,

797
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 6: it's just different things all of a sudden. Once again,

798
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 6: I'm not consuming any of the hoopla, none of the

799
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 6: previews stuff, Craig. I'll be there for kickoff. And I

800
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 6: mean the fact that the Chiefs have turned me into

801
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 6: an Eagles fan, a Philadelphia fan, is absolutely remarkable.

802
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 4: Hey, to the victors go the spoils, and the Chiefs

803
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 4: have enjoyed their success off the field because they win.

804
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 4: What they also do and what both these teams do

805
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 4: is place all the defense and whether or not that's

806
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 4: a factor on Sunday, but which quarterback can beat the

807
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 4: other team's defense? And then, once upon a time, that

808
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 4: one Super Bowl that Patrick Mahomes did not win against

809
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay, that Bucks defense harassed Mahomes. He had no

810
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 4: time to throw in the pocket. And that's how you

811
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 4: beat most quarterbacks. Although it's been few and far between

812
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 4: that we've seen Patrick Mahomes struggle against another team's defense.

813
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 5: This has been a really interesting season for the Kansas

814
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 5: City Chiefs with no real star power at the wide

815
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 5: receiver position. Obviously Travis Kelsey still have him at tight end,

816
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 5: but he's aging. He didn't have a great regular season.

817
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 5: But come playoff time, he shows up and pen Patrick

818
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 5: Mahomes gets it done. And this Chiefs offense just finds

819
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 5: a way to get it done. And you're right, their

820
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 5: defense gets overlooked. The Chiefs defense, they really do. They

821
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 5: get overlooked and they can ball and they've been playing

822
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 5: some really good defense, especially in the playoffs. So you're

823
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 5: right defensively, because the Eagles have a great defense themselves.

824
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 5: I'm looking at, really what Saquon Barkley how does he

825
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 5: fit into this game? Are the Chiefs defensively able to

826
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 5: stemy him? Are they able to slow him down? Because

827
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 5: Saquon has been running and having a season like no other,

828
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 5: and and to really to see him, uh, the way

829
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 5: he's performed in the playoffs. If this, uh, if this

830
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 5: Chiefs defense can corral him, I think the Chiefs got

831
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 5: a chance.

832
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: Does it reminded even one I just thought about it,

833
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 4: Larry Fitzgerald's postseason run. I mean, as far as yards,

834
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 4: touchdowns impact on games, it's very similar to what Saquon

835
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 4: is doing for the Eagles.

836
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 6: No matter what the defensive strategy, their commitment assets against

837
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 6: a certain player unstoppable that's been Saquon Barkley. I think

838
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 6: it's a referendum of sorts on the Arizona Cardinals and

839
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 6: every other team that's a run first offense that wants

840
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 6: to cram a vertical. There's only one Patrick Mahomes. How

841
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 6: do you beat him? He's got another decade in this league.

842
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 6: Can you run the ball, play that physical style of

843
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 6: ball and be a world champion? And then going back

844
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 6: to the defense, I would agree with you guys. The

845
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 6: two low key MVPs of this game would be Chris

846
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 6: Jones and Jalen Carter. And right now, Jalen Carter, if

847
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 6: you're moving Joe Tooney out of the interior O line

848
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 6: to left tackle out of necessity, can Jalen Carter be

849
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 6: that wrecking ball the interior O line of the Chiefs.

850
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 6: Is that the liability that gets Patrick Mahomes hit and

851
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 6: harassed and is the key to the Eagles winning this game.

852
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 4: Goes back to your conversation Rob about the interior of

853
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 4: the defensive line and getting some pressure, whether that's up

854
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 4: the middle or stopping the run. But if you have

855
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 4: that three technique, as Ron Woofley likes to say, an

856
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 4: Aaron Donald type or someone in that category, and all

857
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 4: of a sudden, it makes everyone else defensively behind you

858
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 4: much better.

859
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 5: And an attention magnet, right, somebody that really just draws

860
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 5: the attention, draws the offensive line to turn their protection

861
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 5: towards you and have an idea of where you are

862
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 5: in every snap. That's I mean, we're talking about theres

863
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 5: On Cardinals. That's what the Arizona Cardinals don't have, right,

864
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 5: they don't have that player and maybe they maybe they

865
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 5: do have it on their roster, but it hasn't. It

866
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 5: hasn't revealed itself yet.

867
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 4: Can I get you to like the Chiefs, Paul? If

868
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 4: it means that DeAndre Hopkins, Hollywood Brown, DJ Humphreys, Yeah,

869
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 4: that's true potent, especially hump I mean, come on, yeah, No,

870
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 4: you're right, You're right.

871
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 6: Absolutely. Those are all really good guys and former Cardinals.

872
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 6: I would like to see that happen. And you know what,

873
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 6: they have a good chance considering Patrick Mahlomes's career of

874
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 6: playoff record is seventeen and three and he's won nine

875
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 6: straight playoff games. Wow, and seventeen straight one possession games.

876
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 6: What crazy?

877
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 8: Yeah?

878
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 4: The Chiefs the first team with five Super Bowl appearances

879
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 4: in a six season span. They excuse me. They went

880
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 4: on Sunday and they will accomplish something that has never

881
00:44:55,560 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 4: been done before, and that is a three peats National

882
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 4: Football League. We'll see what happens on Sunday and then

883
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 4: talk about it in one week's time. Here on the
