I'll all say this, it 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: was not as loud if you will. The build up 19 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: to this Wednesday March sixteenth. It seems, at least from 20 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: the Cardinal's perspective MJ, it's been a little bit slow 21 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: as far as moves with respect to outside moves, and 22 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: they emit it a priority to resign their own zach Ertz, 23 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: James Connor, Cult McCoy, Dennis Gardeck and now Max Williams, 24 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: which we can get into here momentarily. But Cardinals so far, 25 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: I've only dipped their toes into the waters resigning their 26 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: own free agents. Yeah, and again, I think they're going 27 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: to let their powder dry a little bit and let 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: the market kind of set itself. And there's still some 29 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: good players out there, obviously the top players, and a 30 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: lot of those top players don't get to free agency 31 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: because they got the franchise tag. So I'm sure they 32 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: have a plan in the thing is let the money 33 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: come down that guys like James Conner better on themselves, 34 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: come in here and play well for a year. So 35 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: but but I'm really excited about Max Williams just because 36 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: we know what he meant to this offense the last 37 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: couple of years. You know, he was on the final 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: year of a four year contract, making you know, close 39 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: to four or five million, But I really like it 40 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: from a twelve personnel standpoint. You got the perfect blocker, 41 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: he can release, he can give you an extra blocker 42 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: on the line, and then you got Art's in the 43 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: open field. So I think we're gonna see a lot 44 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: more twelve personnel. And you know that's something I think 45 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: Cliffs going to lean on and you can run the 46 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: ball out of that formation. Also, now that they want 47 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: to drop another guy in the box, that's going to 48 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: run play action on the outside. Two tight ends, twelve 49 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: personnel something the Cardinals have done a lot, but eleven 50 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: personnel with this one tight end on the football field 51 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: fifty six percent of the time last year. We'll see 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: if that number increases or we do see more of 53 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: Max Williams and Zachert's on the field at the same time. 54 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: More on that in a moment, though, because remember last 55 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: offseason it was JJ Watt and in fact, two years 56 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: ago to the day was the first reports of DeAndre 57 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: Hopkins being acquired. It wasn't official until four days later. 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: So I understand if there's a little I don't know 59 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: angst is the right word, but maybe a little impatience 60 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: from the Bird game because we're waiting for that big 61 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: moment that's big signing, and I don't know if it's 62 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: going to come. To be honest with you, well, I 63 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: mean there's teams that have a lot more money than 64 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. You know, as I said that coaches want 65 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: to win this year, like every year, Jim has to 66 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: look ahead. You know, this free Asian class, a lot 67 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: of quality names, but nobody reset the market. And you're 68 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: seeing you know, pass rushers get paid seventeen eighteen million 69 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: a year like Chandler Jones. So again, just Steve done 70 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: a good job. You know, sometimes you'll add alignment and 71 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: maybe after the first offseason workouts just kind of show 72 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: up a certain position. But I think you know, at 73 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: certain positions they are too deep now, but they still 74 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: like to add. But let the market settle. And you 75 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: know what I always tell people, Okay, we are always 76 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: looking for the shiny new toy. Wake up on Christmas. 77 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: I want this toy. Judge the roster in September. But 78 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: we see that's I get that, and we're all guilty 79 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: of it because in the midst of the season, it's 80 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: hard to kind of enjoy where you're out. You're always 81 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: looking for what's next, and you it's you're looking for 82 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: that destination. I always say, well, enjoy the journey, because 83 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: it's the journey that makes it more fun as far 84 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: as reaching your destination. But we're creatures of what's happening 85 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: in the moments. That's how we react as human beings. 86 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more or a well set. What I'm saying 87 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: is we're going to enjoy the process. But it's a 88 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: very fluid situation. You got free agency, and then you 89 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: got the draft, and then you got the undrafted free agents, 90 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: and then there's gonna be some guys they're gonna have 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: to take one year deal. So I just think trust me, 92 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: I'm happy that the NFL season has officially started for 93 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two season. But I'm just saying, you 94 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: can't accomplish everything in five or six days. It takes it. 95 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: But I'm going to enjoy the process. We do play 96 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: by play when it comes to transactions and you know 97 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: who's out there that can help this team. No, I'm 98 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: going to enjoy it. I'm just saying, we got to 99 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: judge his team when they get the training camp and 100 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: see what they continue to add and hopefully no injuries 101 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: where it's a setback. Remember, James Connor was a lates 102 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: or a later free agent addition, so it turned out 103 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: to be one of the best players on offense, one 104 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: of the best signings in the entire season. A year ago. A. J. 105 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: Green was also one of those later signings as well, 106 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: and yes he did not have a great season postseason 107 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: as far as how the season ended, but his numbers 108 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: overall were very, very good. I saw this, and this 109 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: was something that ESPN's Field Yates tweeted late Tuesday. Nine 110 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: teams had not yet agreed to a deal with an 111 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: outside free agent. The Cardinals were one of those nine teams, 112 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: and I believe that's now jown to maybe eight teams 113 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: because the Seahawks no longer qualified. They've added a couple 114 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: of outside free agents. But the Rams made the list, 115 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: the Commanders, Cowboys, Falcons, Packers, Patriots, and Saints. So it 116 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: does seem it's not just an Arizona Cardinals thing. It 117 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: does seem like across the league that there is a 118 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: little bit of a I don't know, it's it's a 119 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: little bit slower than in typical years, but it might 120 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: be to what you had pointed out as far as 121 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: just this free agent class overall, as far as who's available, 122 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: and then did they really want to seek employment elsewhere? 123 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: Did they really want to go somewhere else the Cardinals 124 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: right now, again, you've locked up, you figured out the 125 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: tight end position, You've got your number one running back, 126 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: you figured out the backup quarterback position. But there are 127 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: still three major issues with this roster as we speak 128 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: here mid March. Edge rusher. You brought it up Chandler Jones, 129 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: according to reports on his way to the Las Vegas Raiders, cornerback. 130 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: This team needs another starter and number two wide receiver 131 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: who is going to be a j green in this 132 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: offense this coming season. That is what is still needed 133 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: in this Cardinals offense and defense. Well, you look at 134 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. They spent two hundred and sixty million, one 135 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six million in guaranteed money. Now, clearly 136 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,559 Speaker 1: they're a team that has a lot of money and 137 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: they need players. So the teams have a lot of money, 138 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna win the off season. The Patriots 139 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: last year went out and spent a ton of money, 140 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: and yes they didn't get into the playoffs. But you 141 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: can win. You can win the off season. This is 142 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: not an overhaul some of these teams. It's an overhaul, 143 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: and some of these teams will just wait for the 144 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: market to dry up and then guys will take a 145 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: one year. So this is March just adding more talent 146 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: to the roster. But this is not an overhaul like 147 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: some of the other teams we're seeing because a they 148 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: want to sell tickets, they want to win. But the 149 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals to me are one of the top four or 150 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: five teams in the conference and they're going to continue 151 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: to add to this roster, and the whole idea is 152 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: to win more games and to finish the season much 153 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: stronger than I have in the past. It's a good 154 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: point because spending does not equal wins. On Sunday last year, 155 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: the Jaguars where I think the top five most active 156 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: and doling out money in the off season a year ago, 157 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: and they've over the last seven eight years have been 158 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: one of those teams that spend a lot of money 159 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: and then just they haven't done much. And yeah, two 160 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty million dollars for seven players, including Christian Kirk, 161 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: congratulations to him, But that's you hope. If you're that franchise. Yeah, 162 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: win the off season, but when in the off season 163 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: is not the regular season? Do you want that trophy 164 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: in March, April and May or do you want that 165 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: trophy in February? And everyone would say I want it 166 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: in February. So yes, Prisoner of the moments, Things are 167 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: a little slow around Cardinals, HQ if you will. But 168 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: I do think the Cardinals and the Cardinal fans should 169 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: be happy with who is going to be in a 170 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals uniform next season as far as ERT's, Connor McCoy, 171 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: Guardeck and Max Williams getting those players back. We think 172 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: our key now is at the end all No, it's not, 173 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: but those are key And we brought this up earlier 174 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: in the week here on Cardinals Covered two presented by Hyunday, 175 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. When we discussed zach 176 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: Ertz agreeing to terms, we noted that Max Williams had 177 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: tweeted tagging arts with three straight big eye emojis, does 178 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: this mean we are going to have to run it 179 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: back together? And with a bunch of question marks exclamation points? 180 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: He was. He went all out on the punctuation. On Monday, 181 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: What did Max Williams know that we did not Mike 182 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: direct you because Max Williams has made an official on 183 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: this Wednesday, March sixteenth, he has resigned for the Arizona 184 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals a one year contracts and very excited about that. Yeah, 185 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: and Maxwell's in the building today, continues to rehab. I'm 186 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: sure he's much ahead a process and we'll just have 187 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: to wait and see how much he does. But yeah, 188 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: I think there's a plan all along. And you know, 189 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: we know this team had has taken care of players 190 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,599 Speaker 1: that I have an ACL injuries in the past, a 191 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: Q Shipley, Corey Peters, and so you know, once you 192 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: you know you're run this respect in the building, they're 193 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: willing to take care of you. And he wasn't looking 194 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: to break the bank. I'm sure, you know, after zach 195 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: Ertz Is off the board and some of these other Titans, 196 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: and maybe his phone was ringing and we always say 197 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: the grass isn't green around the other side. The injury 198 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: though to Max Williams, remember he was having his best 199 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: start to his career, one of his better years of 200 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: his career before or that season. In the knee injury 201 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: in Week five that game happened early in the season. 202 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: Is he going to be ready for the start of 203 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: this upcoming season. You would think based off of what 204 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: people have done as far as rehabbing previous ACL injuries, 205 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: but every player, every person is different. You hope that 206 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: he is ready week one. You would think based off 207 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: the timeline he would be ready. But let's kind of 208 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: pump the brakes until we won here from him and 209 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: then to see him on the football field, Yeah, hopefully, 210 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: And the Colonels do a good job once he you know, 211 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: sign players, whether it's their own players or bring someone 212 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: in depending on their value, they should make them available. 213 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: But you know he's if he's still rehabbing, and you know, 214 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: like you said, everyone's different. But I don't know how 215 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: much we're going to see an offseason workouts maybe you know, 216 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not assuming he's going to be on 217 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: pup but just kind of like hops, just put them 218 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: in a bubble till we get to Layton training camp. 219 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: I would not want to see him playing in any 220 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: preseason games. But he's got to get into football shape 221 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: and he takes care of his body. And you know, 222 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: Brett Fresher does a great job. If these guys are 223 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: not able to get to the facility. He has a facility. 224 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: He works for the team, so there's options out there. 225 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: And Chad Cook, who obviously was part of the Dennis 226 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: Gardeck rehab. He's with these guys daily. And you know, 227 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: Buddy Morris obviously worked in the weight room to see 228 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: how much he can do. The good news is that 229 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: you know he's post surgery and now he's on his 230 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: rotary recovery. Let's kind of forecast and play head coach 231 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: if you will, as far as what this offense potentially 232 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: could look with not just one tight end but two. 233 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know you've covered this team a number 234 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: of years having one tight end, let alone two tight ends. 235 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: That the quarterback, whether that was Carson Palmer, whether that 236 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: was Kurt Warner, whether that was Jake Plummer. How far 237 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: back do you want to go, like Drecky, when this 238 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: team had a legitimate star studded tight end room not 239 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: just one, but two or two capable players within an offense. 240 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: This is the first time for me. You know, they 241 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: had Robert A. Walton, they had Jane Novachik, and those 242 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: guys moved on. You know, I did like the signing 243 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: of Freddie Jones. They drafted Johnny McWilliams from USC. He 244 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: held out, kind of got behind the eight ball. They 245 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: brought in John Carlson. But for the most part, it's 246 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: just in Arian's offense. They really weren't targeted a lot. 247 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: They're asked to us more blockers, Wizzen Hunt. You know, 248 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: Steven Spock had a great catch. Who had a great 249 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: catch and they broke his leg, I want to say, 250 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: but he made that huge third down play. So no, 251 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: if you want to talk too deep, this is the 252 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: best we have covered since they've been here. And you 253 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: would think now that you have Art's six foot five, 254 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty pounds, Max Williams six foot four, 255 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty two pounds, and let's again, let's 256 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: assume that Max Williams is one hundred percent ready to 257 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: go Week one against whomever that is home or away. 258 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: I would expect and maybe more Zach Ertz than Max Williams. 259 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: But I would like to see both of those players 260 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: on the field at the same time more times than not, 261 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: because I do think ERTs they're similar. Yet I think 262 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: their differences are so unique because ERTs is more the 263 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: pass catcher, especially if you want to line them up 264 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: in the slot, come across the middle. Max Williams three, 265 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: put his hand in the dirt a little bit, block 266 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: and then release, and then all of a sudden, you've 267 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: got another offensive weapon to maybe that number two wide receiver. 268 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: You can be a little bit more patient here in 269 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: free agency or if nothing materializes, you gain that wide 270 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: receiver and the draft, and you've got two young players 271 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: along with DeAndre Hopkins. Probably not ideal, but just focusing 272 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: on the tight end position, on what this offense could 273 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: look like with Cliff, with Cliff Kingsbury now having a 274 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: full offseason, knowing that he's got both to these tight ends. Yeah, 275 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: and and and I would say that you know, eleven personnel. 276 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: I think it's prevalent maybe seventy percent in the league 277 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: where three wide and they're looking to obviously target your 278 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: second and third corner. But you know, I still think 279 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: if Cliff they can get another wide receiver, whereas in 280 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: the draft or free agency, you know, a toller receiver 281 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: that can take the top off the defense. He's still 282 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: gonna go and run four wide, and then you have 283 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: the option of putting you know, Connor in the backfield 284 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: and splitting him out or see pass protection safety net, 285 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: you know, throw the little screen pass to the right 286 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: or left. But yeah, Cliff's gonna have his options. I 287 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna have to look down his call 288 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: sheet and go, Okay, we can't run the ball. They're 289 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: they're putting pressure on collar. I think he's gonna have 290 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: his options. Eleven, twelve and ten personnel, spread them out, 291 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: or let's play big boy football. Two tight ends. And 292 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you can't run out of that. Like 293 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: I said, you can have Max's kind of an eye 294 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: candy where you have to defend him, but line up 295 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: and run the football. Remember those first four games with 296 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: a healthy Max Williams, thirty plus points, four hundred plus 297 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: yards of offense and wins over to the Titans, Vikings, 298 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: Jaguars and Rams and the offense yet it's still was 299 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: able to move up and down the field, but not 300 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: like we saw in those first four weeks of the season. 301 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: And it did not get talked enough about the loss 302 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: of Max Williams because we all look at the stats. 303 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: What did you do, how many catches, how many targets 304 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: did you score a touchdown? And the loss of Max 305 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: Williams is something that doesn't always show up in the 306 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: stat sheet, but when you watch the film, you realize 307 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: that this offense took a step back even with zach 308 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: Ertz on the football field. Now, some of that second 309 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: half of the season was because of no d hop 310 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: on the other side, but Max Williams was a key 311 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: part of this offense just because you could keep him 312 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: on the field for every single snap. And they're gonna 313 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: have the luxury where are they? You know, these guys 314 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: are not going to wear down because you and you 315 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: know how well I do think they're gonna draft the 316 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: tight end. I think I've been redundant being a dead horse, 317 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: how deep it is. You know that guy normally they 318 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: address three on game day and usually that guy's gonna 319 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: have to play on special teams. But you know they'll 320 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: bring in six guys to camp and so you have 321 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: they'll have plenty of time to kind of give his 322 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: act and Max Williams some veteran days off. Not so 323 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: much during the regular season, but in training camp. This 324 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: is see what you find on a young tight end. 325 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: And again we'll see if they bring Darell Daniels back 326 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: or to meet your's hairs, but you know the tight 327 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: end position. Larry told me a couple of years ago, 328 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: would the NFL has become it's become running backs on 329 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: linebackers and has become tight ends on linebackers and safety, 330 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: And he said, it's hard to cover in the open 331 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: field if you get a guy that can stretch the 332 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: field and go down the seam. Larry said, that's the 333 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: biggest difference when he's been in the league to where 334 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: it's about matchups and want to spread teams out. And 335 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: again you also want to, you know, draw that third 336 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: or fourth corner because you'll like to take your chances there. Well, 337 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: you line up zach Ertz in the slot. Now all 338 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden, is at your second corner or is 339 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: that your third corner? And then do you have a 340 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: corner that can body up a zach Ertz. I'm gonna 341 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: say no, there is not a corner out there that 342 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: is going to be able to handle zach Ertz in 343 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: the open field. As far as his height, his strength, 344 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: and then his ability to run after the catch. We 345 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: saw that in that first game against the Houston Texans 346 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: as we caught the ball coming across the middle and 347 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: then down the left sideline for the touchdown. I think 348 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot more that's and maybe 349 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: Max Williams more underneath. You use Zach Ertz as someone 350 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: that can stretch the field, Max Williams a little bit 351 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: more underneath. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. And again 352 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: I think they want to play, you know, big boy football. 353 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: I mean I know that the analytics say, you know, 354 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: the bottle set of the past, but they're gonna have 355 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: options here. I mean, they could just play big boy 356 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: football and you know, we're going to run the ball 357 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: and if you want to put seven or eight guys 358 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: in a box, we're going to take advantage of these 359 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: matchups in the secondary, whether it's a third or fourth corner. Again, 360 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: this is all a projection, hoping that Williams at least 361 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: we have a small sample. Yes, a loving games and 362 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: we watched Max for the last couple of years, so 363 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: to me plug and play guys. And to answer your question, 364 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: this is probably the best one two punch they've had 365 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty when they moved here. I think that 366 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: speaks volumes and how it's up to the coaching staff 367 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: to put those pieces in place to be the most 368 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: successful on the football field. Now we do know this. 369 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: With the return of Max Williams, the social media game 370 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: has increased because what Max was able to do when 371 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: he was not playing from this living room or wherever 372 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: he was the tweets on game day and then how 373 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: about this tweets And this was from Tuesday night, Max 374 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: Williams in the midst of the Legal Team bring period 375 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: and hours before the starts the official starts of free agency. 376 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: His tweets quote, everyone is so worried about who is 377 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: signing with who and who is getting paid what I'm 378 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: locked in with hashtag Bachelor Nation trying to see if 379 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: my man Clayton finds love. Best of luck tonight man 380 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: and any tagged Clayton etcherd tagged Bachelor ABC one. It's 381 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: a solid tweet, solid post two. Did not know Max 382 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: Williams was such a fan of The Bachelor. How much 383 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: of that was the influence of his wife? Who knows, 384 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: but I'm going to say more of the latter as well. 385 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I used to watch that show and then 386 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: it's just really yeah, you know, and when you have 387 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, a friend over and you know you're dating 388 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: her and all that other stuff. I mean, you have 389 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: to commit that just can't watch football at the time, 390 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: and so I would just sit there and I watched 391 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: Big Brother, but I haven't watched Goodness, this is like 392 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: reality television, and we're getting breaking news here on football. 393 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: Football is the best reality show out there, though sports 394 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: sports are because you think you know and you don't know. 395 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: It looks good on paper, but the game is not playing. 396 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: That's why they play the game on paper. So maybe 397 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get you and Max Williams in 398 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: the same room and you can break down the back. 399 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: I haven't watched that. I would I wouldn't know what 400 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. The truth comes out here on Cardinal's 401 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: cover two. All right, So I guess we got to 402 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: mention Chandler Jones. What a great Cardinal's career. I mean, 403 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: you can't say enough about the guys. I think he's 404 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: a great person off the field, obviously a great locker 405 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: room guy. And I think Dennis Cardick hit on it. 406 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: Like what he said is you know, there were times 407 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: when he cracked jokes, but there were times when he 408 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: would say, Hey, we all got a job to do it. 409 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: Let's go out there and do it. It is going 410 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: to be a loss in that locker room. To your 411 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: point about what Dennis Gardek discussed about Chandler Jones when 412 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: he addressed the media earlier on Wednesday, as far as 413 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones being that guy that could really lighten the 414 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: mood and keep things kind of even keel we needed. 415 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: And then once the game kicks off, then you've got 416 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: work to do. And Gardek was quick to point out 417 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: that it was Chandler Jones and the unfortunate injury to 418 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: Jones in New York against the Jets. He tears his 419 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: bicep and all of a sudden, it's like, all right, 420 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do. Let's try this special team's 421 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: player and see what he can do. And Dennis Gardeck 422 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: went out there, got two sacks, and the first person, 423 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: or among the first people to really congratulate Gardek, according 424 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: to Gardek, Chandler Jones, wow deal, knowing that he's going 425 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: to be out for this season. So it was a 426 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: great opportunity. And that's what you like. When someone goes down, 427 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: You want someone to step up, and then what do 428 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: they do when they step up? And Dennis Gardeck was 429 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: able to do that. But that was twenty twenty. Now 430 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, Gardek had zero sacks. He said 431 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: the ACL injury was not a factor, and he did 432 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: acknowledge that it was something that he thought about playing 433 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: on that your knee or that rehab knee. But it 434 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: is another addition in that outside linebackers rooms more specifically 435 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: for special teams. But we'll see just how much more 436 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: we see, maybe Guardac Plane, some edge rusher, but losing 437 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, who accordinated reports, is on his way to 438 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, that is going to be a 439 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: huge hole. I was kind of out on an island 440 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: MJ that I wanted him back, and I do think 441 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: that if the reports are accurate, seventeen million a season, 442 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: that's acceptable to me, even though Jones is going to 443 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: be thirty two when the season begins now, in fact, 444 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: he's already thirty two, just celebrated at birthday a couple 445 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: of weeks ago February. So is it a three or 446 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: four year deal? Three year deal, fifty one million total 447 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: if it was afforded. I don't know if he would 448 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: see that kind of like Claius Campbell four years, sixty million, 449 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: thirty guarantee to be interesting with the bonus was you know, 450 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: I thought the further the process went, Cardinals had an opportunity. 451 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: But you know, when you start connecting dots and when 452 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: you look at Randy Gregory going to Denver and some 453 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: Kalomac going to the Chargers, all of a sudden, it 454 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: sounds like the Colts, Jets, Bills, and obviously the bit 455 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: Raiders had interest. So he played it smart. Um, you 456 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: don't want to take the first offer, and I don't 457 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: think he ever considered taking a one year deal to 458 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: prove himself. So they had to come with, you know, 459 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: with cash. And again you look at that division. I 460 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: think we're gonna see a ton of primetime games. But 461 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: it's just they got they got the quarterbacks in that division, 462 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: but now and they got the wide outs and the 463 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: skill position players and the offensive lines. But man, they 464 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: got some pass rushers and corners and linebackers. I mean, 465 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: you would think it's going to be a shootout, but 466 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be one of those situations where if 467 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: you don't turn the ball over, you're probably gonna win. 468 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be interesting. And Chandler Jones, he has 469 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: what nineteen How many how many sacks does he have 470 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: he has sacked? I know where you're going. He has 471 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: sacked Russell Wilson more than any other as far as 472 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that he has brought down. I can't remember the 473 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: number off the top of the other other guy is UMH. 474 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: Camber and Hayward. I think he's sacked him nineteen times. 475 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: Camber and Hayward sacked Ah, he has twenty three on 476 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: one particular quarterback. Yeah, that's it's incredible. I like what 477 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 1: our former colleague, once upon a time, Kylo Regard, had 478 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: a tweet just when Russell Wilson thought he was done 479 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: with Chandler Jones, think again, because that AFC West quarterbacks, 480 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: wide receivers, edge rushers. That's gonna be a fun division 481 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: to watch. And while we're excited and happy for Chandler Jones, 482 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: one glad he's not in the conference if he's not 483 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: wearing a Cardinals uniform, certainly glad he's not in the division. 484 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: But the Cardinals will see him. He did Cardinals will 485 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: see him. He did mention to forty nine ers. Yeah, 486 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: that would not have been good Seahawks forty nine ers 487 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: or rams he had that would that would not have been. 488 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: This is interesting because you know Cardinals are going to 489 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: play against some of the guys they had on the roster. 490 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals will play at the Raiders. Cardinals will also play 491 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: at the Vikings. Jordan Hicks, according to reports, agreeing to 492 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: terms on a two year deal. So congratulations to him, 493 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, happy for these guys that get an opportunity 494 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: to continue their careers. Certainly, you'd like to be able 495 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: to retain everybody, but it's just not feasible. But when 496 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: you talk about good guys, Chandler Jones, Jordan Hicks, Christian Kirk, 497 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, good guys as far as success on the 498 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: field and off the field, as well being accountable, being 499 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: available as far as to us in the media and 500 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: also to fans as well. But if Chandler Jones is 501 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: not going to wear a Cardinals uniform, then by all 502 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: means where a uniform that's in the FC And maybe 503 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: we only see him once every so often as opposed 504 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: to twice a season or maybe once every year. Ring 505 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: of honor. Absolutely, I don't think there's any question he 506 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: is the all time sacks leader in franchise history six seasons. 507 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more five of those seasons double digit sacks. 508 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a not a long tenure, but I 509 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: do think in this day and age, there are the 510 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: days of you know, eight, nine, ten, eleven year careers 511 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: from the same uniform that's becoming more less frequent because 512 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: the number of dollars that these players are making the 513 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: where they don't need to keep going. Yeah, I just 514 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: wonder because I think an Kuon Bolden's worthy. I know 515 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: Larry Centers is trying to make amends on some of 516 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: his comments he made when he went to Washington, and 517 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: then you know Chandler Jones, So I mean, I know 518 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: it's as prestigious and you have to obviously have you know, 519 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 1: a great career with the Cardinals, and all three of them, 520 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: those guys fit the profile. But I think maybe Q 521 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: could be next. Now Carlos Stansby's still waiting. Yeah, you 522 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: could also throw in Darnell Dockett as far as you know, 523 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: you look at that run that that draft class had 524 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: and just under Dennis Green and then the strides that 525 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: they made in reaching the Super Bowl. Klais Campbell at 526 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: at some point I would think would be someone that 527 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: you could put into the ring of Honor. Now they're 528 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: not going to be in the Ring of Honor while 529 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: they're still active players, but as far as you know, 530 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: when you're looking again, we like to project here on 531 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: Cardinals cover too, presented by Hunday, probably partner of the 532 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. We did it with the tight end position. 533 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: We can deal it with the Ring of Honor as well, 534 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: and maybe there is an addition coming up this twenty 535 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: twenty two season. We'll have to wait and see some 536 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: of the roster moves with the Cardinals here as the 537 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: new league year is underway. The team did release defensive 538 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: lineman Jordan Phillips, which I don't think is a surprise 539 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: to anybody. It's a four million dollar plus savings but 540 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: nine million plus and money dead money on the salary camp. 541 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: But here I remember it because we discussed it a 542 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: lot that offseason. But a huge free agent signing three 543 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: years ago, or I should say a couple of years ago, 544 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: and just never handed out. He wasn't healthy, only played 545 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: nine games this past season. In fact, he's only totaled 546 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: five sacks in two seasons with the Cardinals compared to 547 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: that twenty ninth scene season with the Bills. Nine and 548 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: a half sacks, and that's what we pointed to, that 549 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,239 Speaker 1: nine and a half number. Another potentially Aaron Donald as 550 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: far as being a game wrecker in the middle, and 551 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: he wasn't healthy and just couldn't stay on the football field, 552 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,239 Speaker 1: and when he was on the football field, just was 553 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: not productive and didn't live up to that twenty nineteen 554 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: season with the Bills and didn't live up to the 555 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: contract that he received from the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, and 556 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: you know, Vanish chose I went to bad for him. 557 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: Brinson Buckner was a D line coach and he thought 558 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: he can get him going. It just didn't happen. And 559 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: obviously it's gonna fall on Steve Kime. But the good 560 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: news is they got out of the contract. Yes, nine million, 561 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: and there's teams that have thirty to forty million in 562 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: dead money. At least he's getting off the books. I'll 563 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: just say it was a huge disappointment, and there were 564 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: times I really didn't care for and I don't make 565 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: it personal, but there was just times I don't didn't 566 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: feel like he was engaged like he needed to be. Now, 567 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: when he did come back, I thought he did a 568 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: good job getting the crowd in the game, deflected balls. 569 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got he's got the body, But what's 570 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: burning inside? Do you want to be good or do 571 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: you want to be great? And there's there's a big difference. 572 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: What's the motivation? Yes, isn't the money? Perhaps maybe he 573 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: got paid and then took his foot off the gas 574 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: a little bit, And again that's the prerogative, and Cardinals 575 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: rolled the dice there. You're not always going to pan out, 576 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: but I'm just glad that they were able to cut 577 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: ties with him and we'll see where he ends up. 578 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: So that leaves seven defensive linemen on the roster at 579 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: the moments. It is a position that I do think 580 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: this team will address, probably in free agency, definitely in 581 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: the draft as far as finding someone would get their 582 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: hand in the dirt and then really kind of be 583 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: that run stuff for if you will some help in 584 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: the middle along with the Rashard Lawrence and a JJ Watt. 585 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 1: The other move is the Cardinals added a young cornerback, 586 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: twenty five year old Jeff Gladney, former first round pick 587 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: of the Vikings in twenty twenty. He signs a two 588 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: year contract. Now did not play last season, so I 589 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: would not count this as a major move, more of 590 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: a depth move. He was a starter with the Vikings 591 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, but in twenty twenty one arrested in 592 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: April for allegedly assaulting his former girlfriend. In August, he 593 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: was indicted and then released by the Vikings. Last week, 594 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: he was found not guilty on a felony assault charge, 595 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: and again as Mention, did not play. He was out 596 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: of the game last season, but getting a second chance 597 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: here with the Cardinals. Curious interested five ten a buck 598 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: ninety one, but certainly to me does not answer any 599 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: of the questions as far as starting cornerback. I'd certainly 600 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: like to see what he's able to do on the 601 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: football field after not playing any football last season. Yeah, 602 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, you're at lunch and we got a chance 603 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: to see him today. He's got good size. Um, he 604 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: was outside eating with Clars Craig and I were eating inside. Again, 605 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: I would just flow the position. I know everyone's looking 606 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: for a number one corner and you need a starting corner, 607 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: I know, right, But I'm just saying he could play 608 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: inside and outside. And Cliff always says, we you know, 609 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: we want to move Murphy around, and you know you know, 610 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: based on Marco Wilson, this young man may have more 611 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: upside than Marco Wilson in the long run. I mean 612 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: we don't know, but hopefully they We retained Robert Alford. 613 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: But for the most part, U just flow the position 614 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: and he could play inside and outside. So if they want, 615 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: if Murphy's yours slot corner, he will be your backup. 616 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: I mean that's an upgrade over what they had as 617 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: far as backing up Murphy as a slot corner between 618 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton and Chase Whittaker. And it was guy's named 619 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: bartleson Boarders Beyond Boarders. I mean he's he again, he 620 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have the experience, but I just think he attacks 621 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: the ball. He's not afraid to tackle in the open field. 622 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: Very similar. I would say a scouting report to Malcolm 623 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: Butler will stick his nose in the fan on some 624 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: of the run plays. So just death just fled the position. 625 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: And you know I talked about it. I was kind 626 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: of being tongue in cheek. There's two things they gotta do. 627 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: They gotta get, you know, another wide receiver or two 628 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: so they can run that eleven or twelve personnel or 629 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: ten personnel and then they got to get some some 630 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: um some corners to cover this Rams receivers, so that 631 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: that's what they need to do. Is to me that 632 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: the Rams are going to be the team to beat. Now, 633 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna play seventeen games, but I would think 634 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: if you want to beat the team that won the 635 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year, the two areas you gotta get. 636 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: You got to make sure you have enough receivers and 637 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: you've got to make sure you have enough corners to 638 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: cover them. Because we know that, you know, you know, 639 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: Stafford is going to be able to exploit your weaknesses, 640 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: and I think that showed in the last two games 641 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. I'm gonna take a wild guess that 642 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: Gladnee is very motivated and hopefully appreciative of a second opportunity, 643 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: a second chance, which kind of leads me to what 644 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: we heard from James Connor earlier in the week when 645 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: he addressed the media and asked, as I was a 646 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: legit question as far as motivation, now that you've been paid, 647 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: what's your motivation? And he had an answer that I 648 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: don't think anyone else in the National Football League has. 649 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: What motivates me is my second chance regarding being a 650 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: cancer survivor. My motivation is doing it for everybody who 651 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: can't do it. I'd like to be that hope for them. 652 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: End quote. James Conner, we talk a lot about that mentality, 653 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: that toughness that this team was missing prior to him arriving. Yes, 654 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: he's tough on the football field, but what he went 655 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: through off the football field, and as he mentioned in 656 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 1: that press conference, still reminded of that battle. He's got 657 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: scars in the front of his neck. So I do 658 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: not think money will change James Connor and you hope again, 659 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: what do you do with that second chance? What do 660 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: you do with that opportunity, whether it's a second opportunity 661 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: or a third opportunity, what do you do? And James 662 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: Connor knocked down that door and then got rewarded for it. 663 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: What does Jeff Gladney now do with this opportunity that 664 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have presented him? Yeah, I mean when when 665 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: he was exonerated, Um, I know the Cardinal's got on 666 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: the phone and I thought they'd be a bigger market 667 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: out there for him, but you know they had I'd 668 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: be curious to see what kind of grade they had 669 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: on him when he was twenty twenty. Yeah, just you know, 670 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: because he was a first round He's played in fifteen games, 671 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: so I mean there is some experience. But I just 672 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: like his upside. Looks like he's got good size. But 673 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. And you know, I don't know 674 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: all the details, but it just sounds like somebody put 675 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: him through the ringer. I mean, and I'm glad that 676 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: the judicial system found him exonerated from there. But yeah, 677 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: now he's got to look at football and that should 678 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: be his number one focus. So like did thirty first 679 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: overall in twenty twenty, all Big ten first team selection 680 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: as a senior at TCU in twenty nineteen. So again, 681 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, they're really quote unquote first move outside as 682 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: far as bringing an outside face to the organization. But 683 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see what happens when this 684 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: team gets on the football field. By the way, this 685 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: notes on James Connor. He will be a guest of 686 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage this week and depending on when 687 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: you catch this episode of the Cardinals covered two presented 688 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: by Hunda Probab partner of the Arizona Cardinals, I invite 689 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: you to go back into the archives and check out 690 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: the podcast of this week because a sneak peak and 691 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: I did not know this. Mike Dreck he probably you 692 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: did you know everything? Did you know? Connor played defense 693 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: at the University of Pittsburgh. Now I did not know that. 694 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,280 Speaker 1: Apparently it was just for one game against Bowling Green 695 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: and the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl in twenty thirteen. And 696 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: there's some YouTube clips that are producer Jim one hundred found. 697 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: But James Connor and Aaron Donald lining up on the 698 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: same side of the line of scrimmage that was a site. 699 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: It's I did not know that, we knew that they 700 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: were teammates. But the fact that at one time, and 701 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 1: at least for this one game, James Connor and Aaron 702 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: Donald defensive lineman rushing the quarterback, well, I think together. 703 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: I think he made the right decision. Yes, I do 704 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: think so too, and Aaron Donald did as well. By 705 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: the way, The Big Red Rage on Thursday six pm 706 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: on ninety eight seven FM, Arizona Sports Station.

As we 710 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: continue here on Cardinals cover two presented by Hunday, proud 711 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Some other nuggets as far 712 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: as the Cardinals are concerned. Comp pics have been announced. 713 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals gained an extra sixth and two sevenths, so now 714 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: eight total picks, one in each of the first three rounds, 715 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: plus two in the sixth and three in the seventh round, 716 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: but not the last pick of the seventh round. Forty 717 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: nine ers have mister irrelevant, thank you. And the Cardinals 718 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: got back to back picks two fifty six and two 719 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: fifty seven, so not too far off from that two 720 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: sixty two. And they're not going to trade down that 721 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: they traded two fifty seven for two sixty two. They 722 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: could trade up, Yes, you could package those and move up, 723 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: just to move up. Maybe you had a sixth round 724 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: grade on the guy and he's there in the seventh round. 725 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: So and curious to see what happens next year with 726 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk signed nice contract and Chandler Jones. I mean 727 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: you would assume their third round compensatory picks, so you 728 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: have your first thirty two picks and then it falls 729 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: into this formula. The Ravens have been killing it Belichick's 730 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,919 Speaker 1: done a really good job. I thought they would get 731 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: more from Patrick Peterson, but a lot of it's the 732 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: formula based on who you lose how much money they make. 733 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: So I'm hoping for two threes. But I was reading 734 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: it's possible Chandler could be a five five, and I don't. 735 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't understand the formula there, so I'm gonna follow up. 736 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: I'll check out the with the over the cap guys are. 737 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: They're really helpful when you send them a message, so 738 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: I'll find out. But I'm hoping for two threes. It's 739 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: the one thing, you know, the salary cap can be 740 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 1: confusing for a lot of people. And I'll throw myself 741 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: right there because I still don't know all the ins 742 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: and outs. But this compensatory pick formula one, it's secret. 743 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: No one really knows exactly, but its Belichick weighs the 744 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: number of players lost via free agency versus the number 745 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: of free agents sign plus taken into account players salary, 746 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: playing time, how successful they were, and according to the 747 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: National Football League, here is who the Cardinal This is. 748 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 1: The comp picks were based on the following For the Cardinals, 749 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: who they lost, Dan Arnold, Angela Blackson, Kenyan, Drake, Patrick Peterson, 750 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 1: and Hassan Reddick. They lost more than that, but those 751 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,439 Speaker 1: were the five players focused in on this formula. Who 752 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals gained A. J. Greene and Matt Prater. And remember, 753 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: if you sign someone that wasn't a free agent i e. J. J. 754 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: Watt doesn't counts in this formula. You acquire a player 755 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 1: via trade doesn't factor into this formula. So bottom line, 756 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: just do what I do, MJ. And just waits for 757 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: the announcement, the official announcement that the Cardinals have gained 758 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: X number of picks, and the Cardinals now with eight, 759 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: as do the Rams, as do the forty nine ers. 760 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: The Seahawks. Excuse me, Seahawks have eight forty nine ers. 761 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: Seahawks have eight. Rams have eight forty nine ers with 762 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: nine overall draft picks. Okay, we get that straight. I 763 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: want to say that there's one team that has six 764 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: compense story picks, but I think the Rams in the Niners, 765 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: because of their losing their coaches, they're gonna get a 766 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: couple more. The Rams received a total I believe five 767 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: compensatory picks based off who they lost and then the 768 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: fact that you lose coordinator or minority candidate becomes a 769 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: head coach, or minority front office member becomes a general manager. 770 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: So that's another way you can get rewarded by an 771 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: extra draft pick come April. So now you've got these picks, 772 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: You've got these eight selections. What do you do with them? 773 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: Picks numbers twenty three, fifty five, eighty seven. Those are 774 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: rounds one, two and three, and then the Cardinals do 775 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: not pick again in two to fifteen. It's gonna be 776 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: a long well. Now, if there's a pass rush are 777 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: on there because they're expecting seven, if there's a corner 778 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: on there, if there's a wide receiver. But it wouldn't 779 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: surprise me if Steve come traded down to try to 780 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: get a third or fourth round pick, you know, depending 781 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: who's on there now, because usually when you're on the clock, 782 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: they have least three or four names, and then teams 783 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: are calling, hey, we like this guy. So then all 784 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: of a sudden, I wouldn't go down too far because 785 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: you definitely want to. You definitely want to that fifth 786 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: year option, you know, because if the player pans out, 787 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: then you definitely want him to be part of your future. 788 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: So they're gonna have some options. There's gonna be a 789 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 1: lot of time between now and April to kind of 790 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: really dive into these draft prospects. But again, what happens 791 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: in free agency will dictates a little or a lot 792 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: of what this team does in the draft. Specifically at 793 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: number twenty three, I still think they're gonna double up 794 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: on a receiver, hopefully in free agency of veteran, maybe 795 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: a twenty seven year old, twenty eight year old. They're 796 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: gonna double up possibly you know, maybe a mid arrangement 797 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: tier pass rusher. So I would think wide receiver, edge rusher, 798 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: and corner, and then maybe an interior offensive linement. But 799 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna double up based on eight draft 800 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,720 Speaker 1: picks and then what you do and then undrafted free instance. 801 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: So I think based on what they do over the 802 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks that will dictate. But there I 803 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: think they'll going to double up on certain positions and 804 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: then perhaps focus on running back in the draft. Maybe 805 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: you select a running back in the draft and tight 806 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: end and the draft, maybe those are positions that you 807 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: don't try to double up between now and the draft. 808 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: That yeah, in free agency, you're done it. Running back, 809 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 1: you're done it. Tight end. Couldn't agree more. Let you're 810 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: bringing back your own guy the tight end. I think 811 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: they're set at running back. They'll bring six to camp. 812 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: Maybe I would take a flyer and a guy on 813 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: the third day and then looks some undrafted free agents. 814 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: Maybe guys didn't get a chance to play, or they 815 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,399 Speaker 1: weren't invited to the combine, but they have a good 816 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 1: pro day. Yeah, but I'm doubling up at certain positions. 817 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: Now day one the new League year here as we 818 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 1: broadcast on Cardinals cover two presented by Hunday probab partner 819 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals, Russell Wilson, because he had a 820 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: press conference in Denver making all of the headlines. But 821 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 1: I'll argue this, Yes, Aaron Rodgers is back in Green Bay, 822 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady back in Tampa Bay, Russell Wilson now in Denver. 823 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: But the biggest move a free agency in twenty twenty 824 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:29,840 Speaker 1: two two names Joe Buck Troy Aikman. They are officially 825 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: the new Monday Night Football Booth broadcast booth for ESPN 826 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: that was made official earlier here on the New League Year, 827 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 1: now sixteen. Now Aikman, he was the first pick in 828 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: the draft, but I mean the salary cap wasn't what 829 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: it is now. He's making more money doing what he 830 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 1: does now than he when he played. Yeah, he made 831 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 1: fifty five million in his career. I'm sure he's made 832 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: good money. I think he's doubled that just on this team. Well, 833 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 1: between the both of them. Yeah, and their first the 834 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: duel will be on September twelfth. Correct could see a 835 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: doubleheader of that game. Usually they try to go East coast, 836 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: West coast, but they're saying Al Michael is going to 837 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: make two million per game for Amazon. Yeah, well there's 838 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 1: an opening now at Fox. The shuffling and so TV 839 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: booth has been phenomenal. You think they'll go for Sean 840 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,839 Speaker 1: Payton or you think Greg Olsen or because I think 841 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: Kevin Burkhart does a good job. I An Eagle does 842 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 1: a great job. He's on CBS. It'd be interesting. I 843 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: just hope that Monday night football now becomes what we 844 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,760 Speaker 1: all grew up with. As far as being the game 845 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: of the week, it was appointment viewing for me. It 846 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: was six pm on the West coast, East coast nine pm. 847 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: You had to make sure you were in front of 848 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,879 Speaker 1: your television because for a lot of us way back 849 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: when as we date ourselves, that was maybe one of 850 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: two games that you got to see that week because 851 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: there was a game on NBC or there was a 852 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 1: game on CBS, and then he had to wait until 853 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: Monday for Monday Night Football. So I hope that the 854 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 1: Monday night schedule is good because you've got arguably the 855 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: best broadcast duo in football with Joe Buck and Troy 856 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: Aikman now in that booth. Now they over the years 857 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 1: they've gone with a three man booth. Correct, So you 858 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 1: leave he's out, then he's out. Brian Greasy's now with 859 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, is their quarterbacks go with Critick? 860 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,280 Speaker 1: He is not in it two man booth with Lisassaulters 861 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 1: on the sidelines. That makes total sense. So that makes 862 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 1: total sense. Yeah, it's fascinating how much money he's Uh, 863 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: it all started with Tony Romo, right, Yeah, he broke 864 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: the bank and then everyone else try to think he 865 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: gets a million per game, like seventeen million, But he's 866 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 1: he's got a long term deal. Have you ever watched 867 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 1: a game based off of who was calling the game? No? No, 868 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: see neither of I I can't tell you, Like when 869 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: I if I tweet out who the crew is, Oh, 870 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,839 Speaker 1: I'm turning and I and I say, well, you can 871 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,720 Speaker 1: listen to radio and then all of a sudden delay 872 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. But when I tweet out, um, 873 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: Gus Johnson and keep to leave, man, they love it, 874 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: and you know it's a different style. I get it, so, 875 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's I I never turned in for the announcers. 876 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: It's more the game, but it adds to it. I 877 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: do like, you know, these top guys, and I like 878 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: I an eagle. I loved you know, um, the different 879 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: analysts on different stations. Mark Laris done a really good job. 880 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, you know, it's 881 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,399 Speaker 1: part of the broadcast, absolutely, and the excitement. As far 882 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,479 Speaker 1: as when you have that number one crew, it does 883 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 1: ramp it up a little bit. But I'm like you, 884 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,359 Speaker 1: it's about the matchup. Who are you watching on that 885 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: football field, whether it's the home team or the visiting team. 886 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,479 Speaker 1: And then of course it's just the National Football League. 887 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: Everyone loves what is going on on Sundays and of 888 00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: course now Mondays as well. So Day one still a 889 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 1: little bit quiet around Cardinals HQ. We'll see how that 890 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: perhaps changes or maybe doesn't change over the next couple 891 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: of days and then into the weeks to come. Here 892 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: in mid March, and on that note, we put a 893 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,400 Speaker 1: lid on this edition of Cardinals Cover two, presented by Hunday, 894 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. As always, special thanks 895 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: to our executive producer Jim Amandro for Mike Jarecki, I pray, 896 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: Riel Loup. We'll talk to you next time here on 897 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:27,399 Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two.
