A game that 16 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: got away from them and what could have been a 17 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: six and two first half.

The Cardinals 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: fall a field goal short of a game against the 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins at State Farm Stadium on Sunday, and we'll 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: be training a lot to discuss. But I mean, I'm 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: I'm open to going for the next hour talking about 25 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: Notre Dame's win over number one Clemson if you just 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: want to completely change this entire show and talk positive. 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: I mean, hey, I'm all about talking about Mama made 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: big wins Saturday, and you know it takes them up 29 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: really well for the playoffs, but you know we got 30 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: bigger fish to Friday. Yeah, we got to talk about 31 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: these Cardinals and this matchup with the Dolphins. The two 32 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: young quarterback two of the better young quarterbacks that you 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: will see in the NFL, and based off of the 34 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: play and what we saw Sunday, the futures off bright 35 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: for the quarterback position in the NFL. A very exciting 36 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: matchup and it's unfortunately we've got to wait four years 37 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: to see these two teams on the same field again. 38 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: But be trained, for you what's going to stand out 39 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: the most as far as why the Cardinals could not 40 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: come away with the win. Missed opportunities. We had opportunities 41 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: to win this game, and unfortunately we just could not 42 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: contain to a tong of val Looa. He was able 43 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: to scramble and extend plays and do some things that 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: he hadn't really shown on film because he had only 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: played one game prior and he didn't do much in 46 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: that game, so there wasn't a lot of of known 47 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: about to And you saw why he was a top 48 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: pick in last year's draft because he came out and 49 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: he did what he needed to do to get his 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: team ultimately to win. Cardinals answered every one of the 51 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: Dolphins scores MJ except the last one in which they 52 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: turned it over on downs and then Jason Sanders kicked 53 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: a fifty yard field goal and that ultimately became the 54 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: game winner. And it's unfortunate, yet here we are. The 55 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: Cardinals had a three game winning streak snapped at home. 56 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: That's now two losses here at home. Yeah, I agree 57 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: with b train. Just missed opportunities, a squanderity, an opportunity 58 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: to get to six and two. But it is the NFL. 59 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: There's no you know, easy week, and I think we're 60 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: going to see them in the second half of the season. 61 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: It's just when you go back and look at the 62 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: game and based on what Cliff Kingsbury has been very aggressive. 63 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: I think if you look at the Identities team, they 64 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: play fast, they're physical, and they're aggressive, and we didn't 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: see the aggressiveness when the Cardinals had an opportunity. Now, 66 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: I still want to go back to that. You know, 67 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: at at third and one from the Miami thirty one 68 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: yard line, you know, you look at Christian Kirk. You know, 69 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: if you go back to Week one last year, he 70 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: caught a two point conversion. On a similar play, Larry 71 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 1: fisheryl had a touchdown, then Kirk had the two point conversion. Unfortunately, 72 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, Kyler Murray couldn't make the throw. I'm sure 73 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: he used to be feeling some pressure. And then obviously 74 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: he's aying Gonzales miss in the forty nine yard or 75 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: so missed opportunities on those two plays where maybe we're 76 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: having a different conversation right now, and a lot of 77 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: people having the conversation about why the decision to kick 78 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: the field goal there as opposed to going forward as 79 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinals had done several times previous in that ball game. 80 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: Before we give our thoughts. Here is the head coach 81 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: on that very decision. I felt good about kicking there. 82 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: Hindsight's twenty question, and if I would have known that, 83 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have made it. How to win for it, 84 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: and that's about how it goes every week. But we 85 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: trust saying he's been great for us and just didn't 86 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: work out this time. Cardinals be Trained are eight of 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: ten going forward on fourth down, and they had been 88 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: two of three before that decision. Chase Edmonds was stopped 89 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: for no gain earlier in the quarter. Yet I certainly 90 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: expected the decision to go forth there, and I think 91 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the fans and I think some of 92 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: the players did as well, based off the reactions during 93 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: and then afterward the ball game. You always want to 94 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: be aggressive, but you want to be smart, and I 95 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: think going forward in times past, I think it made 96 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: a lot of sense to go ahead and try to 97 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: field goal. At that point, you wanted to tie the 98 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: game because you felt like had you gone over time, 99 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: you really had a great advantage because you're playing at home. 100 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: Even though you don't have a huge crowd, you still 101 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: had momentum on your side, and you know, the field 102 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: goal came up just short. I mean, it wasn't as 103 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: if it was wide right or wide left. It was 104 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: right on target, but it just came up just a 105 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: bit short. And so I didn't really have as big 106 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: of a problem with that decision as some would. But 107 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: you know, it didn't work out, and you just have 108 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: to learn the lessons and come back at it again 109 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: this upcoming week, because one thing's for sure, nobody's going 110 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: to feel sorry for you. And you're only a game 111 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: out from having the best record in the entire conference, 112 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: So it's not as if all hope is lost. They 113 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: are still in the thick of it, and they've got 114 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot of football left to play to determine if 115 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: they're going to play extra football. Kingsbury called it a 116 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: misshead and really, MJ didn't sound all that great. It's 117 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: either coming off the foot of Zaying Gonzalez, but your 118 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: thoughts on that decision right there in the immediacy, and 119 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: then obviously, as Kingsbury said, hindsight being twenty twenty, obviously 120 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: you go for it if you know you're gonna miss 121 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: the field goal. Well, I mean again, if Zane makes 122 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: that field goal, or having a different conversation, I mean 123 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: obviously there's still a minute of fifty three. We know 124 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: that their kicker is obviously very effective kicking fifty plus, 125 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: but I thought it would have put him in position. 126 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: But again, to me, it's hindsight. He obviously they have 127 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: more analytics when it comes to that kind of stuff 128 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: than we do, and so you just hope that Zane 129 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: and now you look at you know, his uh, you know, 130 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: since he's been with the Cardinals ten for sixteen between 131 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: forty and forty nine yards and I know they're not 132 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: chip shots, and b Train pointed, I wasn't lie wide 133 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: left or right, it was just short and I'd have 134 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: to go back, you know, with the long snapper and 135 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: Brewer in the hold. I don't think that was an issue. Otherwise, 136 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: I think somebody would have pointed that out. But again, 137 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. And Zane's gonna be in some pressure kicks 138 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: in the second half of the season and hopefully they're 139 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: on the other end of his stick. This season, Gonzalez 140 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: five of eights on kicks between forty and forty nine yards. 141 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: There was a lot of frustration after the ball game. 142 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: You could see it, you could hear it on the 143 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: face of Kyle the Murray. He certainly sounded like he 144 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: wanted to be on the field as opposed to watching 145 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: that kick fall shorts Murray after the ball game? How 146 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: do you process this and how do you move forward 147 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: from here? Hold on? Yeah? Should I be better? Very 148 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: uncomfortable listening to that B train watching it as well. 149 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: I know there are two sides as far as while 150 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: you're the face of the franchise, you're the quarterback, you 151 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: should be able to answer those questions immediately after the 152 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: ball game. I'm gonna take a different take. He's very young, 153 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: he's in his second year. And sometimes maybe if you 154 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: don't really have anything good to say, maybe you swallow 155 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: your tongue and so you don't avoid saying something you 156 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: regret later. And I think that's a sign of maturity. 157 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: I think he could have gone off, he could have 158 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: said something that he would have regretted, but I thought 159 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: that showed tremendous maturity. And and yes, you would love 160 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: to have the face of your franchise have every single 161 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: answer every single time, but either human being and I 162 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: knew in those situations, I may not have had a 163 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: lot to say. And when you put so much effort 164 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: into a game every single week to come up short 165 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: just that much. It's frustrated, and they know they loved 166 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: a lot of points on that field, just passed uns, 167 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: and they should feel the way that they do. But 168 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: the great thing about it is you have another week 169 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: to go out and correct those in the states and 170 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: get better. So I don't want my guy to be 171 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: so polished every single time. I want him to feel 172 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: the pain of losing. I wanted to hurt a little bit, 173 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: because you don't want to ever get used to losing. 174 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: You don't ever want that could be a feeling that 175 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: you are comfortable with it and you could just go 176 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: up there and answer every question like nothing just happened. 177 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: So a little emotional amount of bad thing. I think 178 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: the way that he was able to control these emotions 179 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: and not fly off, he really could have. Again, that's 180 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: to see from a guy that's mature and also a 181 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: guy that understands everything that he says and does will 182 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: be scrutinized. You know, the NFL has a rule a 183 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: cooling off period, whether it's ten or fifteen minutes, but 184 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, you can seems like that they were having 185 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: conversations in that locker room and then he's got to 186 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: go up there and meet the media, and he didn't 187 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: want to say anything. And you know that's that's because 188 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: they care and they wanted to win that game like 189 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: they do every week, and they felt like it's supped away. 190 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: So there were some conversations in that locker room before 191 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: he came out and talked to the media. The ball 192 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: was taken out of his hands, and I think that's 193 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: what upset him the most. That's just how I read 194 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: things and how I saw things immediately on Sunday. Let's 195 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: flip it though, as far as the defense, as I mentioned, 196 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: they were never able to stop the Dolphins after the 197 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: Cardinals were able to score, and certainly something that we 198 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: saw in the Seattle Seahawks game be trained as far 199 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: as what flipped from the first half to the second half, 200 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: was that the Seahawks were in a lot more third 201 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: down situations in the second half of the ballgame. Advance 202 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: Joseph said, yeah, you can. You're able to do a 203 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: lot more when you went on first and second downs 204 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: to get into third down, and it just didn't seem 205 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: considering the Dolphins only had eight third downs that converted, 206 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: half of those on Sunday again. When you look at 207 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: this game, it's not like the Seahawks, who you see 208 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 1: twice a year every single year. You know that the 209 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: personnel pretty much backwards and forwards. You know what they're 210 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna do, you know what their tendency us are, and 211 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: you feel good about your game plan. For the most part. 212 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: Going into that game with the Miami Dolphins, it was 213 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: almost a complete unknown. You didn't know much about to it. 214 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: He hadn't played for much. This isn't an opponent that 215 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: you see every year. As you said at the beginning 216 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: of the show, you see this team once every four years, 217 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: so you're not gonna know how to necessarily approach this team. 218 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: And then when you talk about a quarterback that's a 219 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: rookie and left handed, pretty much goes against every single 220 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: thing that you've been accustomed to. So there was going 221 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: to be that adjust appear, and you just took your 222 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: hat too. In the Miami Dolphins, they made their plays. 223 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: They made enough to win the game, and so you 224 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: win something, you lose something, but you shake their hand 225 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: and it's all said and done, and you just try 226 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: to go back and be better than next time. And 227 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't a surprise. I mean they targeted Kevin Peterson. 228 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: Unfortunately he suffered a concussion. They were going at him obviously. 229 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: You know, two was a guy that you know, I 230 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: was concerned with the bootlegs, the waggle plays, and he 231 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: was able to get to the edge, and you know, 232 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: I think he throws a really tight spiral on those 233 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: slant passes. But you know, the cardinal secondary they were hampered. 234 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: No excuse, next man up, but clearly, you know, luckily 235 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson returned and Buddha Baker was out there, and 236 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, I thought we'd see maybe Dean take Thompson 237 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more, but Isaiah Simmons got more playing time. 238 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: So it wasn't ideal. And hopefully they get healthy because 239 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: they need that secondary to create that coverage where the 240 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: front sepping get to the quarterback. Dolphins had nine possessions. 241 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: The defense forced three punts and two fifty plus yard 242 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: field goals, but it was the stops late in the 243 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: game that the defense was unable to get. Here's linebacker 244 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks. We practice all these calls throughout the week. 245 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: We know what we have. It's honestly to me, it's 246 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: it's focused. It's and and here's the thing, it's it's everybody. 247 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: It's not just one person. It's not just two people. 248 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: You know, at some point there was everybody's saying my bad, 249 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: and when you have too many my bads from that 250 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: many different people, it's gonna look the way it did. 251 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: We've heard that before. We heard it a year ago, 252 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: we heard it the year prior to that. And I 253 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: think a lot of that MJ is maybe it's one 254 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: game because of the difference shuffling in and out. No 255 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: Byron Murphy and no Devon Kannard, Draker Patrick out injured. 256 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: It's not an excuse, that's just the way it is. 257 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: So the guys that are on the field have to perform. 258 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: We've heard Buddha Baker talk about it. The standard is 259 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: the standard. Whoever starts, they're the starter. Yeah, and Buddha 260 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: also spoke to the media earlier and one of the 261 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: things he said is, you know, we got to get 262 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: the communication down. I mean, because there were guys running 263 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: wide open and that's well you're able to see last 264 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: year again, when the Cardinals were on that three game 265 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: winning streak, they were playing complimentary football. We just didn't 266 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: see that on Sunday. Cardinals fall thirty four to thirty one. 267 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: Certainly a very disappointing contest on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. 268 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: And at the same time we go back, it's five 269 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: and three here at the first half of the season, 270 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: and Betran, this team still controls its own destiny. They 271 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: are the only team in the NFC West that can 272 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: say they are two n O within the division. And 273 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: that's what you wanted. That's where you want to be 274 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: in You're positioning yourself for that run here late in 275 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: November and December. This is where you start to really 276 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: stack those wins, and you find yourself lamenting over games 277 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: like this later on, because when you start to see 278 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: the final tally and you start to see the final record, 279 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: and then these tiebreakers and all these other things start 280 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: to come in, you say to yourself, Man, if we'd 281 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: got that game against Miami at home, that that could 282 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: definitely change our fortune here in the postseason. Maybe we're 283 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: hosting a playoff game as opposed to having going on 284 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: the road. But this team still is in the driver's seat. 285 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: Everything is still in front of them as far as 286 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: what they want to accomplish. So yes, this was a setback. Yes, 287 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: it was disappointing, but you still can go out there 288 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: and accomplish everything that you set out to do in 289 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And you know, over the last you know, 290 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: last week and the last couple of weeks for the Seahawks, 291 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: I mean, when the NFC West is considered the best 292 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: division in football. But now we're going to get into 293 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: division play. You know. Obviously after the Cardinals play the 294 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: Bills a short week, they got to go to Seattle 295 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: on Thursday. Nay football, so curious to see, you know how, 296 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: jockeying for position. But the Cardinals, you know, if they 297 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: can win five more in the second a half, obviously 298 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: win some division games, conference games, they could be in 299 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: the conversation for the NFC West.

On the 305 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: other side, the offense, specifically Christian Kirk, who has really 306 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: stepped up his game of the last several games. We'll 307 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: talk about that next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. 308 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: Third and seven for the Cardinals on their forty four 309 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: snap to Kyler Murray, drops back to throw, steps up, 310 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: throws a deep ball middle of the field. He's got Kirk, 311 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: the balls on the money and the tout down. Want 312 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: to strike filer very to Christian Kirk and the Cardinals 313 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: with a task to tie the game. Boy, it doesn't 314 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: get much better than that, right there, Kyler Murray. Christian 315 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: Kirk lined up to the right of Kyler Murray and 316 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: ran the post, the safety bed in the middle of 317 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: the field, squatted, dare I say, and here comes Christian 318 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: Kurtin over the top for a touchdown. That was an 319 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: absolutely perfect throw by Kyler Murray, one of three touchdowns 320 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: thrown by Kyler Murray. As we continue here on the 321 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea Report, Craig Gray, lu Mike Darecky, and 322 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: Bertram Berry looking back at Sunday's contest at the or 323 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: against I should say the Miami Dolphins thirty four thirty one, 324 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: the final Cardinals on the wrong end of that results. 325 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, however, mj that touchdown his sixth of the 326 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: season or as many as he had in his first 327 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: two seasons combined. He has really improved his play. Oh 328 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: there's no doubt. And what a beautiful throw and a 329 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: beautiful catch obviously Kyler Murray and Christian Kirk. You know, 330 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: you look at Kirk's career, He's got five touchdowns of 331 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: fifty plus yards and again too small, too slow, but 332 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: he gets you know, he gives his team an option. 333 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: We know that Hopkins is more of a possession guy. 334 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: He leads a team in first downs. Larry's kind of 335 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: a chains guy where you find a crease and they're 336 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: throwing the ball to him more. But I just think 337 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: when Christian Kirk's out there, there's more balance in the offense. 338 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: He's become a deep ball threat be train and not 339 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: only is a beautifully thrown ball, but the way Kirk 340 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: catches the football as far as making sure he waits 341 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: until the last moment to put his hands out front, 342 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: to make sure that he stays upright so you can 343 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: catch it in stride and then take it to the house. 344 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: It was reminiscent of the reception in Dallas where he 345 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: just ran up under the ball. It was perfectly thrown. 346 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: Once again by Kyler Murray, and he's able to just 347 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: run underneath and catch it and make his way to 348 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: the end zone. And when you have a deep threat 349 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: like that, it makes everything else on the offense that 350 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: much easier because you have to commit certain parts of 351 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: your secondary to that deep threat. That in the Christian coach, 352 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: so he's supporting that he's on the field, and there 353 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: were times during his career with injuries where he just 354 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: were not able to be out there. But we're starting 355 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: to see him coming too his own, get that confidence 356 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: and really take advantage of what defenses are putting out 357 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: there to try to stop him. And he's just out 358 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: there making plays. And he and Kyler have a great 359 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: working relationship right now. And I think Kyler with all 360 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: of his receivers have that energy and he's the one 361 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: that is the big play guy that's gonna take the 362 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: top off here in India's develotum when he gets his opportunities. 363 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: And so it's a middleful team to watch. I'm happy 364 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: for him he's healthy and when he's healthy, he's definitely 365 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: making contributions to this offense. You know, Hopkins has sixty 366 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: catches fits thirty three. Chase seven twenty nine. Christian Kirk 367 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: obviously missed a few games. Twenty three catches, four and 368 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: right Hart's averaging seventeen point four per catch. Now, obviously 369 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: when you get those deep balls. But six touchdowns, yeah, 370 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: that's the most on the team. It's three more than 371 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins has at this point here through week nine. 372 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: Yet it came in a loss, and certainly it's a 373 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: little bit harder and maybe impossible to take onus and 374 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 1: appreciate that after a ball game. Here's Christian Kirk on 375 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: losing to the Dolphins and how they're not overcoming their 376 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: own mistakes. It's heartbreaking for sure. You never want to 377 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: obviously lose a game like that, you know was in 378 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: our hands and was in our reach to to to 379 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: walk home with. And you know, Miami was a great 380 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: team defensively, you know, but it's just it's a it's 381 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: a tough pill to swallow when you know that, you know, 382 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: we shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times 383 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: and just didn't make the plays when when they were 384 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: needed to walk away with the win mentioned Hopkins b 385 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: Tran and not only it was only targeted three times 386 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: on Sunday, although there were four targets that resulted in 387 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: pass interference penalties, three that were accepted. How much do 388 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: you think Kirk's success, especially since coming back from that 389 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: injury you missed week three, how much of that is 390 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: because teams are keen on a Hopkins or Larry Fitzgerald. Oh. 391 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: I think it has a direct correlation. And I think 392 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: that's the beauty of having a de Andrews Hopkins and 393 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: a Laric Fizgerald because it allows the other guy to 394 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: really blossom and get that one on one coverage, and 395 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: if you make a mistake, it's not only going to 396 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: be a first down. We're ultimately going to talk about testdowns. 397 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: And I think the healthier this team can be, and 398 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: the more that they can have all of these weapons 399 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: on the field at the same time, the more dangerous 400 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: this offense is. Because obviously, when you have the dual 401 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: threat of a Kyler Murray that presents his own problems. 402 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: But when you have capable pass catchers on the outside 403 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: and put your poison, who are you gonna rotate the 404 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: coverage too? You're gonna rotate it towards the Andrea Okay, 405 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: that's gonna free up a Christian crick and Larry Fitzgerald. 406 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: Are you're gonna do it towards Larry? Okay, that's gonna 407 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: free up de Andrew Hopkins and a Christian. So there 408 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: are so many different ways that this offense can attack you. 409 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: I love the fact that these players are playing at 410 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: a very high level and it's only going to get bay. 411 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: They still have yet to have that game where everybody's 412 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: just coming at the same level at one hundred percent. 413 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: And when they have that game, watch out because the 414 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: scoreboard is gonna light up even brighter than when it 415 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: already has. You know, I noticed with Max Williams back 416 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: and obviously he had a touchdown, which is nice, and 417 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: then Darrell Daniels give him a ton of credit because 418 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: that was a great throw. But he had a really 419 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: fight for the ball and he was able to stay 420 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: and bound. So they got two touchdowns from their tight 421 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: ends and Max, I thought they you know, he's a 422 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: meeting potatoes guy. But even Dan Arnolds made a few 423 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: catches in the last couple of games, So you know 424 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: the way the tight ends look at it, Hey, when 425 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: our numbers called, they're going to catch the ball. But obviously, 426 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, you got to look at the blocking standpoint 427 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: from Max Williams. But I definitely think, you know, we're 428 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: gonna see more eleven and twelve personnel. And as b 429 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: Train pointed out, you know you gotta you gotta be 430 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: worried about Murray because he can take off and run. 431 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: But I do think the tight ends will be more 432 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: involved in the offense. Again, there's only one ball to 433 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: goal around though. Well with Williams, that's the one aspect 434 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: of his game that separates him from a Dan Arnold 435 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: or a Darrell Daniels, and that's his ability to block. 436 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: And the Cardinals on Sunday finished with a one hundred 437 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: and seventy eight rushing yards, which was their second best 438 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: total of the season. Two of the three highest totals 439 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: this year have come with Max Williams on the field. 440 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: He's only played two games, so yeah, they like to 441 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: be able to run the football, especially when Williams is 442 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, and you know, Kyler Murray had 443 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: a lot of those yards. That's true. We'll get into 444 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray hand a moment because he continues to rewrite 445 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: not only the franchise record books, but the NFL record 446 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: books as well. All of this good news with respect 447 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: to the offense, going thirty plus points for a fourth 448 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: straight game, still not enough as the Cardinals fall short 449 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: to the defense thirty four thirty one. Here's more from 450 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. We all know how talented and how good 451 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: we can be, and you know, it's just it's tough, 452 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: and it's frustrating when we don't do it, and it's 453 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: just one of those things where we gotta we gotta 454 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: check ourselves once again, you know, similar to Carolina. You know, 455 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: we went back and we checked ourselves, and you know, 456 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: we came out and played really good football in the 457 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: next three games. And so I think this is another 458 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: one of those where we can really look ourselves in 459 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: the mirror and decide, you know, where we want to 460 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: go with this thing. Let's hope that's the case Cardinals. 461 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: As Kirk mentioned, after that loss the Panthers on October fourth, 462 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: they went to New York beat the Jets, went to 463 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: Dallas beat the Cowboys, and then defeated the Seattle Seahawks 464 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: on Sunday Night football. So perhaps a reset is necessary. 465 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: Although it is the frustrating part about this team be 466 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: train because every time you think that they can take 467 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: that next step and they had the opportunity on Sunday 468 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: because of the Seahawks loss earlier in the day. You 469 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: win that contest, your first place in the NFC West, 470 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: and it's an opportunity that slips by. Now we'll have 471 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: to wait and see how the rest of the season 472 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: plays out. Yet I think people and I think the 473 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: team does as well, sees where this twenty twenty Arizona 474 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals team has the potential of being without question, and 475 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: this team can go as far as it really wants 476 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: to go. And it's just a matter of everybody making 477 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: it up in their mind that they're going to do 478 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: their job. They're going to contribute when their numbers called, 479 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: and if they do that, this team has a chance 480 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: to do something special. Nobody saw this team being this 481 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: successful this early. And yeah, they had the weapons and 482 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: when we got to de Andrew Haskins trade, it was great. 483 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: But to think that they would have had the number 484 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: one seed in the NFCEED in Week eight, I don't 485 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: think anybody saw it being that good that fast. And 486 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: the fact that they had a chance to do that 487 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: and came up short, yeah, you're disappointed, but the fact 488 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: that they had the chance, now you have totally different 489 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: expectations going into the second half of the season, Whereas 490 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: now it's not just about being competitive and trying to 491 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: win a few games. Now, we want to go out 492 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: and potentially win every single game because we know that 493 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: from a competition standpoint, we can hang with anybody in 494 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: the league. And yes, the Miami Dolphins were considered one 495 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: of the top teams, but they should be. And you 496 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: have to let the season play out because there's always 497 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: going to be those surprises, especially those teams that kind 498 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: of come out of nowhere that the surprised people in 499 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: and Miami is definitely one of them. In again, tip 500 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: your hat to them. But to have a three point 501 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: loss to a team like that, I think that's going 502 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: to prove to be a tough one and one that 503 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: they wish they had, but one that they look at 504 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: and say, Okay, yeah, we lost, but we did lose 505 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: to a good football team well, and they made the mistakes. 506 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: It was the one turnover in the ball game, Kyle 507 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: Murray fumbling and Shack Lawson taking it to the house, 508 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: and five minutes into that contest, the Cardinals trailed seventh 509 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: to nothing. The last two weeks, the Cardinals have had 510 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: to come from behind. They were able to do it 511 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: against the Seahawks, unable to do it against the Dolphins. 512 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: Eliminate those turnovers and certainly you put yourself in better 513 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: position to come away with a victory.

This is the Arizona Cardinals Radio network. First 522 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: and ten on the twelve bunch set to Murray's right, 523 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: Hopkins split left, Edmonds in the backfield with Kyler all 524 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: in motion right to leftist current, Snap to Murray, He's 525 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: gonna keep it running left. He's at the ten. Murray's 526 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: break to the five, and Kyler Murray has a touchdown, 527 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: his fourth of the day. First on the ground. What 528 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: a show by Kyler Murray here at State Farm Stadium. 529 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: Arizona has to lead thirty to twenty four. Man that 530 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: is sown read all the way with Max Williams leading 531 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: off through with a great flock by Christian Kirk and 532 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: Max Williams. That's the reason why Kyler Murray walked in. Baby. 533 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray accounted for almost four hundred yards of offense 534 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: three eighty nine to be specific, and four total touchdowns, 535 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: three passing and one rushing, which you heard right there, 536 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: de Pash and Ron Wilfully the twelve yard touchdown run 537 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: as the Cardinals at that point took a thirty one 538 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: twenty four lead over the Dolphins. Unfortunately, they came up short, 539 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: falling thirty four to thirty one. As we continue here 540 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: second half of the Cardinals Red Sea Report, Craig Riya, 541 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: Loup Bertrand Berry and Mike Jarecki looking at what Kyler 542 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: Murray was able to do on Sunday b training, not 543 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: exactly sure what more he could have done. Yes, you 544 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: always strive for perfection. He was started close to that 545 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: on Sunday, Yes he was, and he did everything that 546 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: he could to help this team win. And this is 547 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: when you realize it as a complete team sport. It 548 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: takes a half fifty three and the forty six that 549 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: are actually dressing to go out and make it happen. 550 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: But looking at the quarterback position and what Kyler was 551 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: able to accomplish, Yes, he had some some thrills. Maybe 552 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: he'd like to have back, and maybe your run or 553 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: two he'd maybe like to have back. Certainly he'd like 554 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: to have that fumble back. But you can't fall him 555 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: and say he was a huge reason why we lost 556 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: because he did just about everything that you want from 557 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: your starting quarterbacks. Got the ballins the end zone four 558 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,239 Speaker 1: separate occasions. He had a career high rushing as far 559 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: as rush yards and score with the touchdown and on 560 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: the ground. So I mean, what else can you said? Hey, 561 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: you just spope that everybody can come up and support 562 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: him and make sure that they eliminate those mistakes and 563 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: collectively as a team try to go wide and do 564 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: better than what they did. Is past slimmen. You bring 565 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: up his rushing totals one hundred and six yards on 566 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: the ground on eleven carries. In fact, he's been nominated 567 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week. Go to 568 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash FedEx two votes for Kyler Murray 569 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: though MJ twenty one to twenty six, two hundred and 570 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: eighty three yards passing one hundred and six yards rushing. 571 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: The first career double triple for Kyle the Murray. When 572 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: which you reach triple digits in two different yardage categories, 573 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't know. Maybe there are more of 574 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: those in his future. And considering how many times, not 575 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: how many times he's running but one he does run, 576 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: how many yards he's gating? Well, last year he had 577 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: five hundred and forty four yards. He's got five hundred 578 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: and fifty three forty three, So obviously he's getting more 579 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: touches than he did a year ago. Put some press 580 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: of though, over the last couple of games three touchdown passes, 581 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: three touchdown passes two and he's really only in the 582 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: last five games he's only thrown two interceptions. He's taken 583 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: care of the football with the exception of that lost 584 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: fumble and the first quarter on the opening possession, but 585 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: Away historically first player to have both a rushing and 586 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns seven times in the first eight games of 587 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: his season, first player on the Super Bowl era with 588 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: at least eight rushing touchdowns to the first eight games 589 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: of a season and over five hundred rushing yards. The 590 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: fourth quarterback to rush for five hundred or more yards 591 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: in each of his first two seasons, Lamar Jackson, Cam Newton, 592 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen the other three. Certainly this is why beatran. 593 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: The Cardinals went out and drafted a quarterback with the 594 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: number one overall pick when they already had a quarterback 595 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: on their roster. It was very clear that Kyler was 596 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: going to be very special. It was very clear that 597 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: coach Keithbury when he was hired, sought out Kyler Murray 598 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: to be the guy to lead it. Often. He had 599 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: a plan and he knew who could perfectly leave this 600 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: plan of his and thus hard You've seen all of 601 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: this come to fruition. And it's hard to argue because 602 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: looking at Kyler Murray, Kyler Murray could be running back 603 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: right now with his numbers and the fact that needs 604 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and he's throwing the ball the way that 605 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: he's throwing it down the field and getting it to 606 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: the weapons and running the ball efficiently and effectively, it's 607 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: we're starting to see what the future of the quarterback 608 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: position is gonna look like. You throw in him and 609 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: all the other quarterbacks that you mentioned. Of course, two 610 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: of that was on the other side of the State 611 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: Farm Stadium field last last Sunday. This is what we're 612 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: starting to see as as the prototype quarterbacking, and you're 613 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: starting to see host those big, tall guys that stand 614 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: in the pocket, they're starting to fall by the wayside 615 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: and now you're looking at mobile quarterbacks that can not 616 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: only get the ball down the field, but can use 617 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: their legs to help their team. Yeah, I would agree 618 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL, be more in the AFC because we've 619 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: got some older quarterbacks in the NFC. But Joe Burrow, 620 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys they're not only able to sit 621 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: in the pocket, but they can run. They're able to, 622 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: you know, extend plays. You know, Craig could go back 623 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: to the combine. Kyler Murray was too short, yep, because 624 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden everything changed when those what 625 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: was it five ten and one eighth was what was 626 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: announced and then as we know what happened, the Cardinals 627 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: went out and drafted him number one. Overall. Certainly, it's 628 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: been impressive through twenty four games watching Kyler Murray, yet 629 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: all he is concerned about is winning and that did 630 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: not happen on Sunday. Here is the Cardinals quarterback. I 631 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: wasn't really worried about a first place in the division. 632 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody should be worried about that. Um. 633 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: You know, uh, we came out here and lay in 634 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: the egg. UM, I don't know. We gotta be better again. 635 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: He did all he could do. He had nine different 636 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: receipts verse catch a pass and at one point he 637 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: completed eight straight pass attempts three eighty nine yards of 638 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: the cardinals four hundred and forty two total that they 639 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: put up on Sunday. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury on 640 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: his quarterback. He's a competitor and he wants to win 641 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: first and foremost. And you know he was frustrated to 642 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: psyche all of us where I thought he played his 643 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: heart out. You know, he was diving for first downs, 644 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: going ahead first, taking shots, doing all those things that 645 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: you want that leader to do. And we'll be better 646 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: for moving forward. So I'm lawyer's shoulder, b train and 647 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: take a defender head on which I think kind of 648 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: gave pause to the head coach as far as what 649 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: was going to happen next. But I think you'd like 650 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: to see that because you can earn a lot of 651 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: respect of your teammates when you go out there and 652 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: put your body on the line. Total respect for in 653 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: your teammates when your quarterback has the same mentality of 654 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: the defense and he's not afraid to do whatever it 655 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: takes to win a game, and that's the sign of 656 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: a true leader. And Tyler has definitely won this locker 657 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: room board even before that, but the fact that he 658 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: was willing to go out there and put it all 659 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: out there to win that game, it shows that they 660 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: love him. They want to do everything that they can 661 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: to help Tyler and this offense and this whole team win. 662 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: And you know, you score thirty one points, you have 663 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: to be able to get that home and it it 664 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: was disappointing that they weren't able to do it, but 665 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: sometimes it requires you to go above and beyond, and 666 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: unfortunately they just there was too many opportunities and too 667 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: many yards, too many points left on the field Saturday 668 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: afternoon or sun packing. I'm sorry for them to get 669 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: that done. So you have to go back to the 670 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: drawing board, find out ways to be even better, and 671 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: hopefully next week when the Buffalo teams was in here. 672 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: They're ready to go out and and and play a 673 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: complete football game for sixteen minutes. Yeah, and we'll find 674 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: out more trill the course of the week because it 675 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: sounds Kenyan Drake. I guess we'll wait for the injury report, 676 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: but that will really help because I was looking forward 677 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: to Chase getting his opportunities. You know, obviously, Drake's more 678 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: of a downhill runner. You know, I think Chase is 679 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: really effective in the open field. He can catch up 680 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: all the backfield. But I think when you get Drake 681 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 1: back all of a sudden, now he got a really 682 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: good one two three combo, and he all do something 683 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: a little bit different. Murray leads the team and rushing. 684 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: In fact, he leads the league as far as yards 685 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: per carry at seven point one, and his five hundred 686 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 1: and forty three rushing yards eighth best not just among 687 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks but among all ball carriers. His teammates they're fans 688 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: as well. Here's Jordan Hicks. You see him make amazing 689 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: plays all the time, so it shouldn't surprise you. But 690 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: when you see him do it over and over again 691 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: for some reason, you know, it's it is surprising and 692 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: you watch him hold the ball out here and mix guys, 693 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: and you know, constantly it's over and over and over 694 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: again throughout the year, and it's big time guys. It's 695 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: not it's not guys who are you know, this is 696 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: their first game starting. It's guys who have who have 697 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: been out there, played a lot of football in this league. 698 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: So special guy, you know. And it's fun to watch, 699 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 1: hard to defend, and the Cardinals don't have to worry 700 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: about that. The one aspect of Murray's game bat trand 701 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: that it does not get talked a lot about, though, 702 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: is the number of sacks he's had this season, only ten, 703 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: which is second fewest, and he's only lost fifty seven 704 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: yards on those ten sacks, which is number two in 705 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. So he's making smarter decisions here in his 706 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: second year again, just twenty four games under his belt. 707 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: Number twenty five comes next week Sunday, once again another 708 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: home game, and then an opportunity to play an AFC 709 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: East opponents, in fact, the number one team in that division, 710 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills, will get beat trains. Thoughts on another 711 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, maybe not as mobile, but Josh Allen certainly 712 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: very very good will continue the Cardinals Red Sea report. 713 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: Craig Rayel Loop, Mike Tarecki and Bertram Berry all right 714 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: here on the Arizona Cardinals radio network. Josh let's to 715 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: throw it again. Bloats up fires downfield. Got a man 716 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: open cat touchdown. I Damn McKenzie touchdown, Buffalo bakes the handoff, 717 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: Josh gonna throw it, looks into the end zone. Got 718 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: a man open down in the back of the end 719 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: zone in his cat touchdown. Touchdown Buffalo. Tyler Crapp opened 720 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: for the touchdown. Josh Allen, let's to throw fires in 721 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: the zone. Cart touchdown. Gabriel Davia's touchdown, Buffalo. Big can't 722 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: be stopped? Why can't be stopped? Josh Allen in the gun, 723 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: takes the sam gonna keep it himself, runs to his right, 724 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: gets inside the five feet of the end zone. Touchdown, Buffalo. 725 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: Three Josh Allen touchdown passes in the first half. As 726 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawks lost in Buffalo forty four thirty four. The 727 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: Bills led twenty four seven with four minutes to go 728 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: in the second quarter, and then they just cruised onto 729 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: a win. Josh Allen thirty one to thirty eight for 730 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifteen yards, three touchdowns. He was sacked 731 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: seven times, but he got the job done. Buffalo Bills 732 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: Radio Network. On the play by play there is Josh 733 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 1: Allen and the Bills come to State Farm Stadium this Sunday, 734 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: two h five is the kickoff. That means nine thirty am. 735 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: The pregame coverage begins on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. 736 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: The Bills seven and two, the Cardinals five and three. 737 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: We'll be looking to get back in the win column. 738 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: Here's linebacker Jordan Hicks. We've got to bounce back. We 739 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: can't let one turn into two. We've got to have 740 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: total execution, total focus at practice this week, and you 741 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 1: know we got lock in. We got to bounce back. 742 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: We have no choice at this point. This is a 743 00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: very very good Bills team be trained, especially on the offense. 744 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: So then and that defense, Hicks included, it's going to 745 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: be asked to come up with a little bit more 746 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: stops than they show it against the Limey Dolphins, no question, 747 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: and it all starts with their quarterbacks. Josh Allen, another young, 748 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: good quarterback, and as I said at the top of 749 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: the show, the future of the quarterback position in the 750 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: NFL has in really good hands. And it's because of 751 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that we're going to be facing here comes Sunday 752 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 1: or quarterbacks like we're going to be facing here comes Sunday. 753 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: And then Josh Allen and he's a bigger version of 754 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: what you see with Kyler Murray and Lamar Jackson and 755 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: all these different mobile quarterbacks. He's going to be a load. 756 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: They're they're going to definitely accentuate him in the running game. 757 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: They're going to give him opportunities to run the football 758 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: as well as pass the footballs. And the course they 759 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: acquire Stefan dig so he's going to create some problems. 760 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,879 Speaker 1: And we've got to get that secondary healthy because they 761 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: can really expose bad secondaries with their ability to push 762 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. So this is yet another 763 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: difficult challenge from an AFC East opponent, and so the 764 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: challenge is going to remain the same. I just hope 765 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: the Cardinals will fare a little bit better this Monday 766 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: as opposed to last Monday. You know, they got out 767 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: to a great start. He threw for one hundred and 768 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: fifty four yards in the first quarter, that's a career high, 769 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: and then he had at a rushing score in the 770 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: fourth quarter basically sealed the deal and the Bills blitz 771 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: heavy Russell Wilson and the CEO Seahawks. Wilson had four turnovers, 772 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,720 Speaker 1: two interceptions, and two fumbles and that led to sixteen 773 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: points for the Bills. Yeah, they had their way with 774 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, if you will, But they did allow four 775 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen yards. But what do you do. You 776 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: can give up a lot of yards, but if you're 777 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 1: forcing turnovers and recording sacks, then you give your offense 778 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: an opportunity to come away with a win. And that's 779 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: what happened on Sunday. Yeah, Josh Allen, He's ran the 780 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 1: ball sixty five times, two hundred and forty one yards. 781 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: He has five rushing touchdowns. He has been sacked twenty 782 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: times this year, seven sacks for the Seahawks, and then 783 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,040 Speaker 1: they sacked Russell Wilson five times in that game. But 784 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, you look at his touchdowns nineteen over five. 785 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,879 Speaker 1: He's complaining sixty nine percent of his passes. A lot 786 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: of people question him coming out of school. Can he 787 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: be accurate? He's that big, physical quarterback and really, when 788 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,760 Speaker 1: you look at their weapons between digs John Brown, Beasley, 789 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,359 Speaker 1: even Andre Roberts is getting a chance to not only 790 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: return kicks and punts, he's getting an opportunity there. So 791 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: they got some weapons, and you know, each game is 792 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,720 Speaker 1: a little bit different. They'll they'll run the ball forty 793 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: times or they'll throw at forty times. So it's all 794 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: based on the matchups and curious to see what they're 795 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: gonna come up with on Sunday. You mentioned a former 796 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: couple of former Cardinals there and Andre Roberts and John 797 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: Brown smoke back at State Farm Stadium coming up on Sunday. Though, 798 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: you get the sense that at least from the Cardinals standpoint, 799 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: it's more about them getting this thing turned around and 800 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: starting the second half on the right notes. Here's head 801 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury. We have great vetter on leadership and 802 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: you can hear them, you know, in the locker room 803 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: post game talking about it. I mean, there's no panic, 804 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 1: there's no sky's falling mentality from this group. They understand 805 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,439 Speaker 1: there's a lot of all up to play and most 806 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: meaningful games are in front of us. And to have 807 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: a group like that that helps you lead from from 808 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: inside the locker room has been great for us as 809 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: the staff. How important is that beatran you've been in 810 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: locker rooms? Leadership? Certainly it gets talked a lot about, 811 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: but just how important is it, especially with what the 812 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals are right now here in twenty twenty Oh, It's paramount. 813 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: It's paramount to have that leadership, especially when you've seen 814 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: how the first half has gone and you can make 815 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: honest assessments of where you are. And now it's up 816 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: to those veterans, those guys that have been there and 817 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: done that, to lead the young guys and show them 818 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: bactly what they need to do in order to be 819 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: in position to play extra football come January. So I 820 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: think it's imperative that you have the Larry FitzGeralds, that 821 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: you have the DeAndre Hopkins who played playoff football, to 822 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: lead the way and show guys that haven't had that 823 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: experience yet exactly what it's going to take and then 824 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: more importantly, to go out and do it. And I 825 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: think the fact that you have the ability to do 826 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: it with your leaders that makes it all the more 827 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 1: bible and all the more effective as far as the 828 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 1: leadership is, because it's one thing to be able to 829 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: tell somebody how to what to do, but then when 830 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,879 Speaker 1: you show people how to do it, then they have 831 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: no choice but to fall in line. Cardinals five and 832 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,720 Speaker 1: three two and oz in the NFCUST, a game behind 833 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,800 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, the number sixth seed in the NFC 834 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 1: if you want to look at playoffs standings, although we 835 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: still got eight games left to go when you get 836 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: back to this contest though, MJ. As far as the 837 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills two and oh against the NFCUST, they beat 838 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: the Rams in Week three and then obviously the Seahawks 839 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: this past Sunday, So looking very strong against arguably the 840 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: biggest or the toughest division in all of football. Yeah, 841 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: and they're two losses. They lost forty two to sixteen 842 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: to the Titans on the road and they lost to 843 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs at home twenty six seventeen. But otherwise from 844 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,400 Speaker 1: that they're putting up thirty thirty five, forty four points. 845 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: So they're a team that can score and they definitely 846 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: like to utilize the digs on the outside. And then 847 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: Trendavius White, he's suffering an ankle injury, but it sounds 848 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: like he's gonna be fine, so that could be a 849 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: key matchup Tredavias White, obviously one of the better corners 850 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: in football, doesn't get the credit, maybe playing in Buffalo, 851 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: but he'll play, probably be guarding a guy like DeAndre Hopkins. 852 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: The Bills have won three straight since those two losses 853 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: in a row. These seven and two start their best 854 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,439 Speaker 1: start since nineteen ninety three. The Cardinals and Bills don't 855 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: play one another often back. This is only the twelve 856 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: all time meeting between the two teams, and the first 857 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: in Arizona since twenty twelve. Are the Bills won that 858 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: game and overtime nineteen to sixteen. B Train keep the 859 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: shoes off until Sunday when they're put back to work, 860 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: and we'll see you at State Farm Stadium for a 861 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,399 Speaker 1: week ten contests against the Buffalo Bills again.
