1
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: Welcome third Gang on today's show. All right, who's it

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna be, Jimmy g or the rookie? That's the big

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: question this weekend. If your advanced, Joseph, what do you

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: do prepare for Jimmy Garoppolo or prepare for Drey Lance

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: or and probably the smart strategy prepare for both. We

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: get into that as well as how the Cardinals defense

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: matches up against the entire forty nine ers offense. But first, yes,

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: the first injury or report of the week was long,

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: very long. Still, there should not be anything to worry about.

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: As I cross my fingers. It's Cardinals Cover two, episode

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: four seventy eight and it starts now. Welcome to Cardinals

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: Cover two with Craig Grigolu and Mike Jarecki. Cardinals Cover

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: two is presented by Hyundai, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals,

Speaker 1: and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. Visit Easy Cardinals dot com

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Slash podcasts. Going for Hopkins one hand to catch in

16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's Craig Griolu and Mike Jarecki.

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: The number was ten. Ten players did not practice on Wednesday,

18
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: but before anyone gets worried. Five of those ten players

19
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: who didn't practice were either not injury related or personal,

20
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: and all five MJ returned to practice on Thursday. We

21
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: are trending up towards Sunday. Yeah, and you know, I

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: understand there's a reason why they put the injury report out,

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, obviously from gamesmanship and other you know, fantasy

24
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: football and in this case probably gambling. But I you know,

25
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: I've learned over the years, don't freak out on a Wednesday,

26
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: and they have to list everyone because if he now,

27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: some guys could get hurt in practicing and then you

28
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: got to add him. But you know, clearly guys are

29
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: getting treatment and we're that you know, we're getting to

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: the second quarter of the season, so you know, the

31
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: week one was great to have a single guy on there.

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: And again it's nice to see Kelvin Beecham out there

33
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: because I think that will settle the right side down.

34
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: Even though Josh Jones did play well, I think he's

35
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: probably better inside. You can hide him a little bit.

36
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: So and Hopkins was out there. That's always good. And

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: get the timing with the quarterbacks and a wide receiver,

38
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: so yeah, we'll know more tomorrow and then we'll just

39
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: kind of figure out who the top eight are going

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: to be. When it comes to the offensive line. It

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: was a little jarring though at first look when you

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: see the list, because it is a lengthy list. But

43
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: I like what you said on Wednesday. You don't freak out. Now.

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: If you've got fifteen guys listed on a Friday, well

45
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: then you can start freaking out. There are two players, however,

46
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: that we do I think need to monitor, keep an

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: eye on, maybe monitors not the perfect word. One is

48
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy, who once again on Thursday, was not spotted

49
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: during the open portion of practice. He's dealing with a

50
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: rib injury. Although game Sunday he was asked about it

51
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: and kind of dismissed and said, I'll be fine, so

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: hopefully knock on wood. This is just more of a

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: rest slash pain tolerance, and by Sunday he'll be good

54
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: to go. The other one is Chase Edmonds, who once

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: again was not practicing on Wednesday, not even seen on Wednesday,

56
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: but on Thursday it was working out on the side.

57
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: He's dealing with a shoulder injury, something that everyone saw

58
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: that he was dealing with because post game Sunday, he

59
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: showed up in the media room and he had a

60
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: nice large ice pack on his right shoulder. He as

61
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: well as Murphy, said oh yeah, I'll be fine, no

62
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: questions asked. And I do think he'll be fine, because

63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: once you transition from we don't see you two on

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: the side, the next step is typically being on the field,

65
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: and hopefully we do see Chase Edmonds and Byron Murphy

66
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: on the field on Friday. Well, you know, you even

67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: go back to a week ago when you know Marco

68
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: Wilson and Byron Murphy were missing time and then we

69
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: got a chance to see him on Friday, and you

70
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: know that's probably you know again, Marco Wilson's a little

71
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: bit different being a rookie. Clearly he's been in the

72
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: meetings and he knows the game plan. Murphy's he's a

73
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: little more more physical. So I would anticipate Murphy would

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: like to get out there, and you know, again, we'll

75
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: have to wait till Sunday, but I think everything's trending

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: in the right direction. And again the all hands on

77
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: deck and coming up on Sunday back in black Cardinals

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: wearing their black jerseys at State Farm Stadium one twenty

79
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: five kickoff. I did see that via the airs in

80
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: a Cardinals social media channel that yes, black uniforms, which

81
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: is always a nice change of pace, look if you will.

82
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: And it comes on just the second home game of

83
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: the regular season, the Cardinals playing their first three or

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: four on the road. One item, actually two notes with

85
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: regards to the roster MJ one and this kind of

86
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: flew on nder the radar, But running back Tavy and

87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Feaster is back with the team. He was with the

88
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: Cardinals during the preseason. He's been signed of the practice

89
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: squad this week, and that just might be some more

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: in case of an emergency break glass situation, considering Chase

91
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: Edmonds is a little banged up, you know, Benjamin's a

92
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: little banged up. But Davian Feaster is back now. The

93
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: one player that I'm not expecting to see on Sunday

94
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: Durrell Daniels, the tight end placed on the reserve COVID

95
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: nineteen list. He's played in all four games this season,

96
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have a single catch, but he is someone that

97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: is certainly good and useful in the run game and

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: on special team. So the Cardinals are without Darrell Daniels,

99
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: it does open up a roster spot. What do they

100
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: do with that roster spot. They do have Ross Travis

101
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, another tight end, more of a

102
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: pass catching tight end than Daniels. Travis six six to

103
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: forty eight. He has got that big target, large frame,

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: So we'll have to wait and see on that. But

105
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: do you even maybe not even have an additional tie

106
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: then this week? Can you just get away with two

107
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: and maybe go heavy some more else? Those are all

108
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: discussions that are happening, I'm sure upstairs in the front office,

109
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: in the coaching offices, but it is something that we've

110
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: discussed COVID nineteen. It's not going anywhere. Hopefully that's something

111
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: that can be eradicated sooner rather than later. But for

112
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: right now, this is something that every team has to

113
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: deal with, and right now the Cardinals have been hit. Yeah,

114
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate and we'll just have to wait and see,

115
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: you know, because they can protect up to four players,

116
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: and you know, Ross Travis would be an option and

117
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: he's more of a pass catching tight end. They will

118
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: dress eight linemen on game days, so if you're trying

119
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: to get that extra blocker out there, of course, to

120
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Metrius Harris, is more of a wide receiver, but he

121
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: can be asked to block and he can block and

122
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: then actually flex out a little bit, So there's options there.

123
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: But Daniels, you know, I thought he was inconsistent and

124
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the first week of the season, but you know,

125
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: he has a role on this team, and I think that,

126
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, just having him out there, there's a sense

127
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: of security that he can hold up in the blocking game. Yeah,

128
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: maybe they go a little bit heavier at the wide

129
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: receiver position. Maybe Andy Isabella is active, maybe they go

130
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: heavier as far as a defensive player. Considering what we

131
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: will get into here momentarily with respects to the forty

132
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: nine ers and their offense, also with respects to the

133
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: practice and not just this week, but apparently throughout this

134
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: entire season, and something that started late last year under

135
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: the direction of head coach Cliff Kingsbury. And this was

136
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: something that aj Green brought up when he addressed the

137
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: media earlier in the week, and he mentioned that every

138
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: practice during the week is very competitive, as we all

139
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: anticipate and expect it. But he brought up something that

140
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: I was not aware of. We see it in training camp,

141
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: but typically in the NFL after training camp, you never

142
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 1: see it again, and that is ones versus ones, first

143
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: team offense versus first team defense. Some teams do it.

144
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: AJ Green said, dude, with the Bengals, he had not

145
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: done it. JJ Watt earlier on Thursday said, yeah, sometimes

146
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans did. But it is something that I'm

147
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: I totally understand why you don't because you don't want

148
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: your starters hurt. Yet the flip side is the benefit

149
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: of going up against the best within your own team.

150
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: Good on good, as they like to say, I think

151
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: the benefits certainly outweighed the risk, and it certainly seems

152
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: like through four games it's been a real benefit for

153
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: this team for Kyla Murray to face Chandler Jones, Buddha Baker.

154
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: Now there's no tackling involved, but the talent is what

155
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: you're going up against. Yeah, and the Colonels do a

156
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: really good job with you know, energy in practice, they

157
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: run to each drills, they have nice temple out there.

158
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: It is competitive and that's one of the things I

159
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: appreciated in training can how much they competed every day.

160
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: And you know, if Trey Lance happens to be the quarterback,

161
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: well they go against Kyler Murray in practice, again, you

162
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: can't get around him. But the whole idea is staying

163
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: your technique, stay within the frame of the defense what

164
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: they want are asking you to do, and then make

165
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: sure in the right spot and then it translates to

166
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: game day. So but that's interesting because usually you would

167
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: have your second team, like colpe McCoy when they played

168
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: the Rams, he was wearing the number nine jersey obviously emulate,

169
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, a guy like Matthew Stafford, but usually in

170
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: straveling would have a role, maybe when you're playing an

171
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: option quarterback so they can alternate. But usually coulpe McCoy

172
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: has been getting those reps and then you know your

173
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: second team would go against the first and then vice versa.

174
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: But that's interesting that, you know some places haven't done that,

175
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: but I think it just creates competition and everyone's getting

176
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: reps and that's the beauty of practice. You know, they

177
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: try to they do all these different drills. We're able

178
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: to be out there and stuff ives never seen and

179
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: we see him maybe in offseason workouts, but they're they

180
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: really put a emphasis on tackling technique and I think

181
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: that's why we see how will they play on special teams,

182
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: and you got to really give credit to the secondary

183
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: because these guys they come down in the run support

184
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: game and they tackle. Quoting defensive coordinator Vance Joseph about

185
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: ones versus ones, quote, it's been good for us to

186
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: keep our competitive nature end quote. And then he brought

187
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: up the fact that especially in the secondary, the defensive backs,

188
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: that's where the benefit has really come because you've got

189
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: a young Byron Murphy, a young Marco Wilson, and then

190
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: some veterans and Robert Alford and Antonio Hamilton that are

191
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: going up against every day, not a lot, but about

192
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: twenty snaps per week, which is about ten percent of

193
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: the practice time according to Vance Joseph. But they're lining

194
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: up opposite one on one DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green, Christian Kirk,

195
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore, and that is something that's you know, each

196
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: week there is a number one wide receiver. Now the

197
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: Cardinals you can argue have maybe one A, one B

198
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: and a very good, very capable number three wide receiver

199
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: and elevation his game talking about Christian Kirk to that

200
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: number two status based off his production now not last week,

201
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: but as we said, a lot of different weapons on

202
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: this offense, which makes it difficult for opposing defenses and

203
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: certainly something that coach Joseph enjoys because it gets him

204
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: ready for Sunday. Speaking of coach Joseph and getting ready

205
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: as we continue here on Cardinals cover too presented by Honday,

206
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals who is vants Joseph

207
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: defending this week. As far as the forty nine ers

208
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: quarterback is concerned, Jimmy Garoppolo did not practice on Wednesday,

209
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: was not seen on Thursday. He did, however, MJA speak

210
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: to reporters on Wednesday. Typically you're starting quarterback speaks once

211
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: a week, but if they're hurts, they don't speak. And

212
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is dealing with a calf injury, although he said, quote,

213
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: it's nothing too serious. I tweaked the muscle, whatever word

214
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: you want to use for it. I strained it a

215
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: little bit. Just taking it day by day at this

216
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: point and based off how things are trending, my guests,

217
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: and it's just a guess that we see Trey Lance

218
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: make his first regular season start. I think that's where

219
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: it's trending in that direction. You know, clearly they're going

220
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: to prepare for both. Obviously, you have more tape on

221
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: a guy like Jimmy Garoppolo, considering he's been in the

222
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: division for the last couple of years. Unfortunately for Trey Lance,

223
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: I mean, you have the second half, and he actually

224
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: played particularly well in that small little sample. And then

225
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, you go back to college. He only played

226
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: one game before he declared for the draft, and so

227
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of tape out there, but you know,

228
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of motion. We're gonna see

229
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: some bootlegs. I'm sure they're gonna try to get him

230
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: on the edge. And you know one thing that you

231
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: pointed out and and I didn't really think about it,

232
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: but Cardinals did go against a couple of rookie quarterbacks

233
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: last year and Tua and Jalen Hurts and Jalen Hurts

234
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: had a really good game. Cardinals won one and lost

235
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: the other. So even though he's a rookie, you know

236
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: you would think to sit here and go, oh, they're

237
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna throw the kitchen sink at him. And then the

238
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: way Deebo Samuel's playing and George Kittle, you know, he's

239
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: kind of banged up, but he gives him a huge

240
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: target and Kyle Uschek, he's kind of like the guy

241
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: now whether he plays on third down, So a lot

242
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: of factors, but I think you got to prepare for both.

243
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: But I do agree with you and you know, trying

244
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: to make it uncomfortable for the young Fellow coach Kyle

245
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: Shanahan was asked by the forty nine Ers media about,

246
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, a little gamesmanship and you keep that quarterback

247
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: secrets for as long as possible, and Shanahan did acknowledge Yeah.

248
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if the doctors rule out

249
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, I will rule out Jimmy Garoppolo. And it

250
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: sounds like, you know, they'll take it maybe all the

251
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: way until the weekend and maybe there is an announcement

252
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: Friday or even Saturday before game time. It just seems

253
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: it's very odd because you go back to post games

254
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: Sunday after the forty nine Ers lost the Seahawks, and

255
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: Garoppolo basically said I'm gonna be out for two to

256
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: three weeks, and then the next day there's an MRI.

257
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you know, we got some good news,

258
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: and maybe there's a chance that that was the phrasing

259
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: of coach Shannon a chance that Jimmy g plays this week,

260
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: and then it does factor in, as you know, coach

261
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: Joseph and the players, what do you do. I'll say

262
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: this though, because what the forty nine ers showed in

263
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: the preseason, showing Trey Lance on the field, even splitting

264
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: time with Jimmy g that if I was vanish Joseph,

265
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: even before knowing the outcome of Garoppolo and hurting his calf,

266
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm getting everyone ready for both quarterbacks because at any moments,

267
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: first quarter, first half, second half, you could see Jimmy

268
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: garoppolo for a series, and in the very next series,

269
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: or even during a series, you might see the young

270
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: rookie come in for a play or an entire series. Well,

271
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's not playing, you only got two

272
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the rock, they're gonna they're gonna have to

273
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: bring up Nate Sutfield. And because you can't risk if

274
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: Lance gets hurt and Jimmy's not one hundred percent and

275
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy realizes what's at stake right here, he's probably gonna

276
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: get Waldy pipped. It was just a matter of time.

277
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: And listen, people don't give him credit. This is the

278
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: first offseason where he didn't have to rehab anything. His

279
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: overall record as a starter's twenty six and ten. Okay,

280
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: twenty four and ten. There he had two wins with

281
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Of course, he was a quarterback that beat

282
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals on that first game. So his win loss

283
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: record is impressive. And he knows the offense and Trey Lance.

284
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: He's more athletic. He's probably got a stronger arm, you know.

285
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: But again he's young, and we watch all these quarterbacks,

286
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, Mac Jones in a different situation. But you know,

287
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is now going to get a chance to play.

288
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: It was, you know what they did to him the

289
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: first goal around. He showed some improvement. We know Trevor

290
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: Lawrence is making improvement, but we went through this with

291
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. It's it's not a walk in the park.

292
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: And so you know, I'm assuming just like last week,

293
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: Vans changed it up a little bit, didn't go with

294
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: the three to four, brought in a lot of more

295
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: nickel and dime, you know, and he's gonna try to

296
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: use the entire field though, and he's a guy that

297
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: can take off and run and when you do that,

298
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: you put yourselves in Harm's way. I liked how Cliff

299
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: Kingsbury answered the question. And he was asked early on

300
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: I believe it was on Monday, about the prospects of

301
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: seeing Trey Lanson. He immediately and you brought it up already.

302
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: He immediately pointed to last season and the two games

303
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: both at home against two Atonavaloa and the Dolphins, and

304
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: then Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, and both of those

305
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks played well. Now, Cardinals fortunate probably in beating

306
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, excuse me, fortunate to beat the Eagles, and

307
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: they lost to the Dolphins a game that they should

308
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: have won if not for a field goal that was

309
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: missed that would have tied it and sent the game

310
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: in it overtime. Yeah, and if I'm not mistaken, they

311
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: lost to a third string quarterback in Week sixteen because

312
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins and C. J. Bethert were going back and forth. Now,

313
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: the story behind that he had lost his brother in

314
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: the offseason and that was kind of like his Super Bowl,

315
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously they played well for him. Of course,

316
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson was off to the races. There was some

317
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: big plays in that game, but Cardinals did not respond there,

318
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: so that was a third string quarterback. So again there's

319
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: a reason why they mortgaged the future. And to me,

320
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this because you know, whatever happens

321
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: in Seattle, we know Russell Wilson gave him a handful

322
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: of teams, and if they get back to the playoffs,

323
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: but they don't have anybody behind them, and then we

324
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: know that Stafford's going to be the quarterback for at

325
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: least the next couple of years. But this, this Trey

326
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: Lance and Kyla Murray, this is this is gonna be

327
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years if everything goes according to plan.

328
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting just the back and

329
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: forth and how they developed. But the good news for

330
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: us is Kyla Murray is in his third year and

331
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: Lance is making his first NFL start if that happens

332
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: to be the case on Sunday. And I do think

333
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: that Cardinals defensively might be better prepared to face a

334
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: Trey Lance because, as we discussed, they face Kyler Murray

335
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: every single week in practice. Different quarterbacks, but when you

336
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: talk about a dual threat, you're trying to find a

337
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: comparison and Trey Lance, we don't know much about him.

338
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people have watched a lot

339
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: of North Dakota State film out there, and you brought

340
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: it up. He only played in one game last season.

341
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: Then I was by design as far as trying to

342
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: get him some film for the scouts. But you go

343
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen, twenty eight touchdowns, no interceptions, so

344
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: he's able to protect the football. But that's f CS,

345
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: that's not FBS. That's a little bit as far as

346
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: a lower tier versus what we're used to seeing on Saturdays.

347
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: But I do think that the Cardinals are in good

348
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: position because one they've been here before as far as

349
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: facing the rookie quarterback this season, last season, and there

350
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: are in no position to sit in here and say, oh,

351
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: we've got the backup quarterback, because that backup quarterback might

352
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: very well be the future of the San Francisco forty

353
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: nine Ars for the next ten fifteen years. There's no

354
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: doubt about it. And you know, I go back and

355
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: look at Kyler Murray. You know, he played eight games

356
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: at Texas A and M seven at Oklahoma fourteen in

357
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma in twenty eighteen, and so you want to go

358
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: back to snaps, I mean, Kyler has probably over a

359
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: thousand snaps. When we look at Lance, I think he's

360
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: at three fifty total snaps in college. Now again, Kyle

361
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: Shanahan just like McVeigh and hopefully we're Kingsbury's in this conversation.

362
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: You know, they know how to bring the best out

363
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: in these young quarterbacks, and that's the reason why they

364
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: mortgage the future. So I don't know if it's going

365
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: to happen overnight, but I was intrigue. I didn't know

366
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 1: if they're gonna take mac Jones. I didn't know if

367
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna take Justin Fields that kept everything under wrapping here.

368
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: You know, they took him third overall, so I mean,

369
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: and he had two quarterbacks go back to back with

370
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson. So but I'm just looking

371
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: forward to the history now with these two quarterbacks. You know,

372
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: you know, for a while there we had Carson and

373
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: then Kurt Warner, and we never really got a chance

374
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: to go against Joe Montana when he was in Kansas

375
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: City and guys. But for the most part, I look

376
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: at this division and there's a reason why it's about

377
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and then the pass rushers. Has Kyli pointed out,

378
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot the wide receivers in this division.

379
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: I mean it's loaded, and there's a reason why, you know,

380
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: three or four teams could represent the conference when it

381
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: comes to the division. Before he played the second half

382
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks on Sunday, Trey Lance, it only had

383
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: seven snaps through the first two games, and a lot

384
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: of that was gadget stuff. So to your point, snaps

385
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, there's not a lot as

386
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: far as what this Cardinals defense can look at. As

387
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: far as plays, there's just not a lot. Now you

388
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: look at what Lance did last Sunday, nine of eighteen,

389
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty seven yards two touchdowns, also rushed

390
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: forty one yards on seven carries, and he did execute

391
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: a nice two minute drive late in the game to

392
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: try to close that gap up. So they've got basically

393
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: one half of football to look at if you want

394
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: to know what Trey Lance can and cannot do. Although

395
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: the flip side is is he was forced into that

396
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: situation because of an injury, and Shanahan brought it up.

397
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: We didn't game plan. We didn't have Trey Lance in

398
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: mind for a lot of what we wanted to do

399
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: and we had to adjust on the fly. So some

400
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: things you can look in and say, all right, this

401
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: is what we know he's good at and capable of doing.

402
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: Other of his like, well, he might have been running

403
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: stuff that was designed for Jimmy Gee's skill set and

404
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: that just won't be happening this week if he is starting. Yeah,

405
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: I would have thought they would have a package for him,

406
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, just to kind of change it up. And

407
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, though, Garoppolo got hurt early in

408
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: that game, but he stayed in there until halftime. Correct,

409
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: it was the he said Garoppolo said had happened on

410
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: the game's opening series, Wow, and he just kept playing.

411
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: He was six to six for seventy yards and a touchdown,

412
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: and then after that opening series eight to seventeen ninety

413
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: five yards and an interception. Probably probably he's probably going

414
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: with adrenaline and then it's hard to throw that ball off.

415
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's left or right or calf,

416
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: left calf or right calf, but that you could see

417
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: the numbers just based on that when you when your

418
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: feet's not and you don't feel the strength from your

419
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: hips to throw it now from a Niner standpoint, Lance

420
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: is going to get all the reps this week, correct,

421
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: so Garoppolo according to the reports, he hasn't practiced in

422
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: the last two days, and so I gotta think Nate

423
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: Sutfeld is going to get the call up if that happens.

424
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: In the case, he's running the scout team, so that's

425
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: going to help them. But we know that practices eighty percent.

426
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: You can't go one hundred percent. And you know, I

427
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with Brandon I yuk. It

428
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: seems like he Kyle Shannon according what I heard that

429
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: he plays mind games with these receivers. Deevil Samuel's a

430
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: really good player. They took him the first round. They

431
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: had him ranked. There's a number one wide receiver in

432
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: that draft. That's what John Lynch told Herm Edwards. And

433
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: then all this this chatter about Trent Sherfield, and I'm

434
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: a big Sherfield fan. I thought he should have had

435
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to catch the ball here more of a

436
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: special teams player, and you know him and Trey Lance,

437
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: they hooked up in the preseason and looked good. Sherfield

438
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: has three catches and he's a special teams player. But

439
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: they did tell him because the Cardinals did not tender him,

440
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: they did tell him, we're going to give you an

441
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to be one of the top four receivers. That's

442
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: really what he is. But he's got three catches. So

443
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: it's just interesting. And you know, it really doesn't matter

444
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: who they put in the backfield because it's been he

445
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: more Sert Jeff Wilson. I mean, it's been different backs

446
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: and Keevin Coleman, I want to say, and they kind

447
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: of had their way at certain times. I remember the

448
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: Wilson play last year in Glendale, and then in Week one,

449
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: I think they had a big play even though the

450
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals won that game a year ago. So I mean,

451
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter who the back is. I hate

452
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: to say that, but it's just more the scheme and

453
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: the system. They run a lot of shifting and we'll

454
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: find out about Trent Williams, one of the better left

455
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: tackles in football. They went out and invested on Mike mcclinchy,

456
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: so it'd be interesting to see. But I don't know

457
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: what's in the water up there. But they're always hurt.

458
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't you know, you can never prepare

459
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: for injuries. But man, they've been hit by the injury bug.

460
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the talents surrounding the quarterback position,

461
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: whether it's Jimmy g or Trey A. Lance as we

462
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: continue here on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hyundai, proud

463
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals. You want to start in

464
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: the backfield or do you want to start with the

465
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: past catchers? As far as what the Cardinals are up

466
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: against this week, Let's start with the backfield, because that's

467
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: where it all starts. Clearly, the Cardinals want to do

468
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: a much better job staying in their gaps and forcing

469
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: them to be one dimensional, especially with a guy that's

470
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: making his first starts. All right, let's start with the

471
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: the running back position. You brought it up where he mostert,

472
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: he's done full of the season, Jeff Wilson on injured reserve.

473
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, you're looking at who's

474
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: next in that forty nine ers backfield. Eliza, excuse me,

475
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell, who is a sixth round draft pick and

476
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: Trey Sherman, a third round draft pick. As far as

477
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: the depth chart is concerned, those are the two that

478
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: are listed one A and one B if you will,

479
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: this forty nine ers offense has the twelfth best rushing

480
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: attack through four games. And when you come to running

481
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: the football, that is the major weakness, if you want

482
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: to call it a weakness, and it is even though

483
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: this team is four and oh, but the Cardinals defense

484
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: is not good when it comes to stopping the run.

485
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: And we've discussed it and vance Joseph gets asked about it.

486
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: He was asked about it again on Thursday, and this

487
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: team is not proud of its run defense. Right now,

488
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: they are aware of the issue, which is always the

489
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: first step to solving a problem. Now it's how do

490
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: you solve the problem? How do you get it fixed?

491
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: And fixed a sap well, you know we you and

492
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: I got a chance to do that. Are debate this

493
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: and it was interesting because we're thinking, Okay, how do

494
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: they get more pressure on the quarterback? And then he

495
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: kind of find out that maybe teams are going with

496
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: mass protection, so all of a sudden, you're not going

497
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: to get there. But clearly they know that they got

498
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: to get better in that area. But again, they use

499
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: different backs and you know, it'd be interesting to see

500
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: if Trent Williams doesn't play because he's a huge edition

501
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: they I mean, I thought last year he looked a

502
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: little heavy to me, but according to Pro Football Focus,

503
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: he gets these grades eighty to ninety every week, So

504
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: clearly he's an upgrade with what they had and obviously

505
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: Joe Stilly was there forever. But yeah, they gotta do

506
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: much better job just containing the run. Can't give up

507
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: these big runs where teams are getting to that second layer,

508
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: and that's what Jacksonville tried to do in that second

509
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: half and they got pretty successful with Robinson there. So yeah,

510
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: I mean, in you look at Trace Sermons, he's a

511
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: big he's a big back, you know, Mitchell, as you

512
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: pointed out, sixth round pick from Louisiana, he was dealing

513
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury maybe a couple of weeks ago.

514
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: So again we'll see how many running backs they dressed.

515
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: But but Sherman or Sermon, excuse me, he's a big

516
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: back averaging as you pointing out, four to three one touchdown,

517
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: remember him in Ohio State, and they got him in

518
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: the third round, so they feel like they can go

519
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: running back by committee. But I do think if somebody

520
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: gets the hot hand, they're going to roll with him.

521
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: The Cardinals need to put the hammer down, if you will,

522
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: as far as stopping running backs getting to that second

523
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: and third level. Right now, they rank in the bottom

524
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: third as far as rushing yard per game, and they

525
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: are second to last and rushing yards per play. And

526
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: this is a number that is scary to me. Better

527
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: than five yards almost five and a half yards a

528
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: kerry every single time an opposing offense hands the ball

529
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: to a running back. That's a number, even though that

530
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: this team is four and on him, Jay, that's a

531
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: number that cannot be sustained and continue to win ball games.

532
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: If you force this team to throw the football, then yeah,

533
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: they have to abandon the run. But if I'm averaging

534
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: five and a half yards a carry, it's five point

535
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: three eight. I'm rounding up, Okay, five four. But if

536
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: that's what I'm averaging every time I hand the ball off,

537
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm not abandoning the run, even if I am down

538
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: a score or two. Yeah, I'm looking at Sherman, sermon,

539
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: excuse me, six feet two fifteen, So he's he's you know,

540
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: we look at Chase and James Conner. Connor's obviously six

541
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: two and about two thirty three. He doesn't look at

542
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: in street clothes, but he plays like it when he's

543
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: in a uniform. Again, get him third and long. I mean,

544
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: these are these are the games where and it'd be

545
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: nice to get a lead again because now it's going

546
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: to force them to kind of maybe come out of

547
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: their offense a little bit. But I still think they're

548
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna run Shanahan's offense. I mean, he's been there the

549
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: entire offseason. As you pointed out correctly, he did get

550
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: a chance to play in the preseason. It's a very

551
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: complex offense. But a lot of times you know you're

552
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: not gonna put him on an overload. You're gonna have

553
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: certain plays that you think he can run, and then

554
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: certain plays at the team as a whole, like and

555
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to get the ball down the field

556
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: just to loosen it up, because we know how difficult

557
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: is just for any quarterback to Guana ten twelve play

558
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: drive here. They want to get some yards, so all

559
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden he can maybe get an opportunity to

560
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: get in the open field and run. So they definitely

561
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: got to be in their p's and q's because we

562
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: just don't have a lot of film on him. The

563
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: wild card out of the backfield is fullback Kyle Uschek.

564
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: He's only carried the ball six times, but MJ he's

565
00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: got nineteen catches. He is the second leading receiver the team.

566
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: Full disclosure, I haven't watched every single one of his

567
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: nineteen catches. I wonder how much he's lining up versus

568
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: how much he's catching the ball out of the backfield.

569
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: But when you can have that quote unquote safety valve,

570
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: and if it is Trey Lance that gets the start,

571
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals need to account for the full back position. Yeah,

572
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: and by using him in that situation, a lot of

573
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: times he'll be there for blitz pick up and then

574
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: he'll release out. They put him on the sidelines sometimes,

575
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: but it also opens things up for George Kittle because

576
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: he's a really good blocker. He to me he's more

577
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: of a third down back, but that doesn't mean he

578
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: won't play at first and second down. And you're probably

579
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: not going to see him rush from your much. He's

580
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: more of a hammer if maybe it's a short yards situation,

581
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: but sermons two hundred and fifteen pounds, Yeah, it's it's

582
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: but they do pass the ball to him and he's

583
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: been in that offense forever and they were really thrilled

584
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: to bring him back on a two or three year deal.

585
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's a guy that you better you better

586
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: bring your heart hat because he's gonna hit you. Yeah.

587
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: Is someone that is a veteran of that forty nine

588
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: ers offense as we continue here on Cardinals cover to

589
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: present to buy Hunday. Probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals.

590
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: Another veteran on that offense, tight end George Kittle. He's

591
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: banged up as well. Like Jimmy g He's dealing with

592
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: a calf injury. He played through that injury against the

593
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: Seahawks and did not practice a lot during the week,

594
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: so he was ready for Sunday and it certainly sounds

595
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: like that's the case this week. But how healthy is

596
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: George Kittle? We know he's a weapon, he's a threat.

597
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: He's got nineteen catches for two hundred and twenty seven yards,

598
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, and as well as he's played, his numbers

599
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: are pedestrian if you will. Against the Cardinals, and I

600
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: remember vividly Week one a year ago, Buddha Baker covering

601
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: Kittle and with a surefire clean hit and knock Kittle

602
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: out of the game and an injury that he had

603
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: to deal with the rest of the regular season. And

604
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: that's a matchup I don't know we'll get to see

605
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: this season because you've got Isaiah Simmons, who can cover

606
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: the tight end. Has shown more versatility as far as

607
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: his ability to cover receivers or cover the tight end.

608
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: So George Kittle, you don't want the tight end to

609
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: get away from you, which we've seen in the past.

610
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: But George Kittle is someone, as we've discussed, is the

611
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: tight end who can be that quarterback's best Brian, especially

612
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: if it's a rookie quarterback. Yeah, Kittle's played in seven

613
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: games against the Cardinals, and I'm looking at his numbers

614
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: right here. He averages five point nine targets, four point

615
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: one reception's fifties nine yards, and he does have a touchdown,

616
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: but it's not like he's getting two or three a game.

617
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: So he's definitely gonna be targeted. But he's played in

618
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: seven games ever since he's been with the Niners. But

619
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure you put a hat on him.

620
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: But I'm comfortable, and that issue was two years ago.

621
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: I thought deveanre Campbell did a really good job last year.

622
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: Let him give up two tight end touchdowns, and then

623
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: you've got Isaiah Simmons and me that j Thompson's playing,

624
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: I think he can cover him also, and that allows

625
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals to have Isaiah Simmons room in the front

626
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: seven or if he's got to cover a guy like Deebo,

627
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: Samuel or Yuke in the slot. So I anticipated Cardinals

628
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: will still have their top four corners out there and

629
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: then Isaiah could be their racer. Jalen Thompson was talked

630
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: a lot by coach Joseph earlier on Thursday and in

631
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: glowing terms, and I kind of forgot about this that,

632
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, we referenced that the first time we had

633
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: a chance to speak with Jalen Thompson was during training

634
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: camp up in the press box, very informal, and Joseph

635
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: brought up that the first time that they met Thompson

636
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: the coaching staff was day one a training camp because

637
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: he was such a late addition and there was no

638
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: offseason and all of a sudden you get drafted and

639
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: boom and the supplemental draft and here you go, all right,

640
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: let's go kid. But he is someone that I don't

641
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: think gets talked enough about as far as his improvements,

642
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: his development, because we've seen one. He's healthy, which is

643
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: first and foremost with Jalen, but his physicality and tackling

644
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: in the open field. You might catch a ball in

645
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: front of him, but you're not getting past him. The

646
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: thing is, though, we and rightfully so, because you know

647
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: how I feel about Buddha. He's really the face of

648
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: the defense. I think the glue of the defense is

649
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Colan, but I think Buddha. You know, I know

650
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: chandlers here Patrick, they moved down from Patrick, but I

651
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: think and then you got the Ie Candy with Marco

652
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: Wilson and Byron Murphy so on the pecking order. But

653
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: I like this tannem and you know, he's actually he's

654
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: gotten a lot stronger. He's more physical in the running game,

655
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: he's better in coverage, and you could see that he

656
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: knows his opportunity. We're not talking about Deontay Thompson, who

657
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals also drafted. You know, went to different schools.

658
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: He went to Alabama. This young man went to Washington State.

659
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: I want to say, right, Washington State, Washington. Oh, that's right,

660
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: it was Washington said, you're right, because that was Mike Leiche.

661
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah so, but again he's fitting

662
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: in perfect what they're asking him to do. I've been

663
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: thoroughly impressed. But it's more about his football IQ taking

664
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: good angles, eyes in his physicality and you could see

665
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: an upper body. He's gotten bigger. He was asked about

666
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: his hard hits from Sunday against the Rams and being

667
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: in a tone setter, and he brought up Chandler Jones,

668
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, JJ Watt as tone setters based off what

669
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: they do early in games, and he added quote, I'm

670
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: trying to become one of those tone setters as well.

671
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: He is based off of his play, especially on Sunday,

672
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: which I think opened up a lot of Cardinals fans eyes.

673
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: Everyone just focuses on Buddha Baker. Don't forget about number

674
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: thirty four. Jalen Thompson might hit just as hard, if

675
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: not harder, than Buddha Baker. He lit up, Cooper Cup

676
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: lit him up, Legal play correct lit him up, and

677
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: you could see after that he was and running these

678
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: kind of same routes and he got hit. H Cooper

679
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: Cup also got hit in the open field. I want

680
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: to say it was Buddha. So yeah, I mean you

681
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: put that on tape. Guys going to be aware of it.

682
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday Probab partner of the

683
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. We've touched on the forty nine ers backfield,

684
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: the tied end position. Now let's get into the wide receivers.

685
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: We've already briefly touched on Deebu Samuel and Brandon Ayuk

686
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: which ay that one I don't quite understand. He had

687
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: an outstanding first season, drafted first round out of Arizona State,

688
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: but this year just six catches for fifty eight yards

689
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,479
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. But it's Deebo Samuel who has really

690
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: come into his own here in twenty twenty one MJ.

691
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: He leads the league in receiving yards, tied for fifth

692
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: in receptions seventeen and a half yards per catch that

693
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: ranks fourth, has the most yards after the catch according

694
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: to Next Gen Stats, and has touchdown catches of seventy

695
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: nine and seventy six yards this season. He is their

696
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. He is the number one player

697
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: that the secondary has to pay attention to. Whether that

698
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: is Buyer Murphy, whether that is Marco Wilson, Robert Alford,

699
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton, whomever it is. You have to be aware

700
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: of Deebo Samuel this week against the forty nine ers.

701
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: He reminds me of Bolden clearly a little bit faster

702
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: and size wise, but he catches the ball great in traffic.

703
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: He's not afraid to go over the middle. You know,

704
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: he's a guy that can block. He was a second

705
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: round pick back in twenty nineteen, so he's a physical guy.

706
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: And when I go back to Brandon Aiyuk, he's kind

707
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: of like they drafted him be kind of like rondel Moore.

708
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: He also returns punts, and the Cardinals got Rondel Moore

709
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: in the second round and he obviously he's excelled, you

710
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: know when it comes to a short passing game and

711
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: his acceleration when he gets the ball in his hands

712
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: and he's right now returning kicks in punts. So yeah,

713
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: it's interesting. I didn't know this, but Kyle Shanahan is

714
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: really hard on his wide receivers and a lot of

715
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: it's probably predicated on the route running and everything else.

716
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: You know, you look at Samuel, He's five eleven, two

717
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen pounds, so that's very similar to an

718
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: Kuon Bolden size, but I think he's a little bit

719
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: more fluid where he can change and stop on a dime.

720
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: Last week against the Seahawks one hundred and fifty six

721
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: receiving yards twice. Samuel this season already has had over

722
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: one hundred receiving yards. So if you're looking at someone

723
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: to shut down, last week, we were talking about Cooper

724
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: Cup NFC Offensive Player of the Month, how well he

725
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: was performing. Now it's Deebo Samuel and this Cardinals defense

726
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: so far this season has not allowed a wide receiver

727
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: to reach one hundred receiving yards. And they've played some

728
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: darned good wide receivers. Cooper Cup, Robert Woods last week,

729
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and the Jaguars, Justin Jefferson, Adam Feeling against

730
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: the Vikings, aj Brown, Julio Jones Week one against the Titans.

731
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: That's a very solid list of wide receivers, some of

732
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: the best top ten, top twenty in the league. And

733
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: none of those wide receivers has done anything against this

734
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense. Yeah, and you can throw in de Sean Jackson.

735
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: You know clearly Stafford underthrew him, but you gotta give

736
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: Murph credit. He kind of bathed him and he was

737
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 1: able to jump the route and face the receiver. Yeah,

738
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: so it's gonna happen at some point. I mean, if

739
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: he gets one hundred yards and they slow George Kittle

740
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: down less than fifty yards and maybe he gets a

741
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: couple of catches, just don't get beat on the running game.

742
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: You know. Again, you always try to go in there

743
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: and contain. But if they get one wide receiver that

744
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: goes over one hundred yards, I think they can live

745
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,479
Speaker 1: with that. I know the stat is at some point,

746
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully it's not a tight end this weekend,

747
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: because he's capable of doing that. But I think the

748
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: Cardinals know that how they know how to bracket George

749
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Kittle and he's gonna have to make catches in tight,

750
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: tight windows. Defensively, this Cardinals team, we're seeing a little

751
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: bit of that bend. But don't break. They give up

752
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: a lot of yards, but they are making plays. They're

753
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: keeping teams off the field, out of the end zone.

754
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: They are very good on third down. They're third in takeaways,

755
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: and this I think is probably the one stats that

756
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: coach Joseph might like the most as far as because

757
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: you get that takeaway, you're getting that team off the field.

758
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: Nine turnovers nine takeaways, if you will, they are first,

759
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: and forced fumbles tied for first, and fumble recoveries tied

760
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: for seventh, and receptions. But as we saw against the Rams,

761
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: a couple of the turnovers and the offense can take

762
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: advantage of those turnovers, it swings the game in a

763
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: one eighty direction to your side, and that's the defense

764
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: helping the offense. And you know, you get your hand

765
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: on a number of footballs and all of a sudden,

766
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: you're getting that offense back on the football field. Yeah,

767
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: and you know it was important for the Cardinals to

768
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: not turn the ball over, but obviously, you know, get

769
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: some turnovers on their side and then go a long way.

770
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we know the stats. If you're

771
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: minus two or minus three, you probably you have twenty

772
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: five percent chance of winning. And the Cardinals haven't won

773
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: every single game with the turnover margin, but they've been

774
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: able to put up over thirty points and over four

775
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: hundred yards and convert when they're getting in the red zone.

776
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: So there's there's ways to overcome that stuff, but you

777
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: don't want to. You don't want to play with fire

778
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: where you're minus two or minus three when the game's over.

779
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: A Cardinals nine takeaways, forty nine ers just one takeaway,

780
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: and that happened in week one, and you wonder why

781
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are sitting here two and two

782
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals four and Oh. Protect the football. And

783
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: if you've got a defense that's a ball hockey playmaking defense,

784
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Bira Murphy is getting his

785
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: hand on the ball, Marcus Golden is punching a football

786
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: out and it's on the ground, Buddha Baker picks it

787
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: up as he did last week. All of that, it's

788
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: what advanced Joseph reference when he was talking about they

789
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: don't teach their players to hit the quarterback when he

790
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: is running. They teach CPR, which is a term we

791
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: all know means something completely different than what it does

792
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: on a football field, but CPR club punch rip and

793
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: meaning rip the ball when the quarterback takes off and runs,

794
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: or any ball carrier out in space, but specifically that quarterback.

795
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: Because you have to be very careful when the quarterback

796
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: runs and they are becoming, you know, a runner out

797
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: of the pocket, they still get that protection and Trey

798
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: Lance that's what you got to worry about this week

799
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: because he does have the mobility. Yeah, and I don't

800
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: know if he has a baseball background, but he does

801
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: have a hole. So I'm curious to see, you know,

802
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: how he protects himself in the open field as he

803
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: trying to get to the sidelines, so he can you know,

804
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: protect himself and you know, play for the next down.

805
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: But and be interesting to see if how the Cardinals

806
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: defend him to try to keep him in the pocket

807
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: and hopefully he makes some illified throws and they get

808
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: some interceptions or tip balls. But this is gonna it's

809
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting, you know, depending on their offensive line

810
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: of Trent Williams and you know, for the Cardinals, I mean,

811
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna I mean, I'm comfortable with the

812
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: offensive line, especially if Beacham comes back and then you

813
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: put Josh Jones at at right guard and then obviously

814
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: justin Pugh's back. But they can't they can get to

815
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: the quarterback. The Niners. I mean, you look at d

816
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: Ford and Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. I mean this guy,

817
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if he gets the credit

818
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: because you know, he's passing the torch from Navarrel Bowman

819
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: and Patrick Willis. This guy's a tackling machine. You got

820
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: a huge extension, um. You know, and then you in

821
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: Seattle you had Bobby Wagner and kJ Wright you know

822
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: so and then the Rams. You know they've had different linebackers.

823
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: But you know Nick bosa Um went healthy, he could

824
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: be a productive guy. Um. You know what, what do

825
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 1: you have? Four sacks already tied for the fourth most.

826
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: So um yeah, I mean I just when I look

827
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: at their corners, you know a mos you mentioned they

828
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: brought in Drake Kirkpatrick. I think that's an area that

829
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals could definitely target their secondary on the Cardinals defensive side.

830
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we referenced the this will be this perhaps

831
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: will be the second time they face a rookie quarterback,

832
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: same type of game playing you think against a Trevor

833
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 1: Lawrence as you would against a Trey Lance. Trevor Lawrence

834
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: had that running ability and we did see him scramble

835
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 1: for some chunk plays, some big plays, if you will.

836
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: Or because that was just a couple of weeks ago,

837
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: to vanch Joseph feel the need to change it up

838
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: to give a rookie, some different looks. The only the

839
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 1: only thing I'll say is Lawrence had two games under

840
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: his belt and that week they talked about trying to

841
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: get to the second layer and he said, I want

842
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: to run more and the RPO's the pistol and he

843
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: did all that. Unfortunately he threw some interceptions. But this

844
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: is his first start, so yes, I'm gonna try to

845
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: make very confusing for him. Throw everything at him. Bring

846
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: nine if you will. I mean, I'm maybe exaggeration, but

847
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: but just you know, again, they can rush two and

848
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: drop seven and eight guys into coverage and make him

849
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 1: make some tight throws or don't let him get comfortable.

850
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: But the fact that Lawrence had a couple of games

851
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: under his belt at the speed of the game, I

852
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a little bit different. But the

853
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: same time, though, he is getting all first team reps

854
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: this week and that can go a long way. And

855
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: then they'll figure out that their scripted plays and it'll

856
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: be interesting with their fifteen scripted plays are well. And

857
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: then also factor in that it's not only Lance's first

858
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: NFL start, but that first start is coming on the

859
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: road at State Farm Stadium. Bird Gang I mean this

860
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: is this is a call to you as well. When

861
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: you have a young player, a rookie, all of a sudden,

862
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: the noise get loud and maybe I mean that's you know,

863
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: if you want, if you're enjoying this four and oh

864
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: run and hope it's five and oh by the end

865
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: of Sunday, then yeah, be a factor as you've been,

866
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: as we've seen throughout the years. Well in the Cardinals,

867
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean for a long time, it was the twelves

868
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: in Seattle when it came to false starts. I mean,

869
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals updated every single week, especially after a home game.

870
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: And they played in Week two with the Cardinals lead

871
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: the league and opponent's false starts. And that's because of

872
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: a fan base. And listen, let's not get excited from

873
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 1: a standpoint of four nos. Great, but it's a long

874
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: season and these are home game and it's a division game,

875
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: so they got to take care of business. You just

876
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: can't expect to walk on the field. We know what

877
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: happened last year in Week sixteen to a third string quarterback.

878
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 1: One hundred and ninety three opponent false start penalties since

879
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and six. That is the most across the

880
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: national Football League Titan second at one hundred and seventy seven,

881
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: Seahawks at one hundred and seventy four, talking about Nissan

882
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: Stadium and lumin Field respectively. So that is a huge factor,

883
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: I think in this contest because you know, a year

884
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: ago it's empty seats. Now you've got full capacity across

885
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: the league. Again, based on field position. If they're staring,

886
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the first and ten from their ten

887
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: yard line, get loud in the end zones because all

888
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden they're gonna have to go to a

889
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: silent count, and who knows how much they're working on that.

890
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: It's part of what they're gonna have to do. It

891
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: could be at midfield. But when they get down, if

892
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals haven't pinned deep in their territory, that's when

893
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: you get loud because they're gonna get a false start

894
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: and if you get a holding penalty with a quarterback

895
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: in the end zone, that's a safety. And so there's

896
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: different ways, but just be loud, and not just the

897
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: first quarter and then clearly when the offense is on

898
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: the field, just you know, have you have your you know,

899
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: roupier and maybe your hot dog, because we need to

900
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: see the Cardinals go with the Murray up offense, and

901
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: when they're in the Murray up offense, they can score.

902
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: It will yeah, No when to get loud and then no,

903
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: when to be a little quiet or if you will,

904
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: you can chair, but just be a little bit it,

905
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: or when Kyle Murray is out on the field, hey,

906
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: before we go here on this edition of Cardinals Cover

907

00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: One Time in Mexico. It's a game that I have

918
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: vague memories of. I was still kind of new. I

919
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: wasn't new. It's like six years in the market, but

920
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't really covering the Cardinals like I do now.

921
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: But it is always fun to look back at those moments,

922
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: those memories. And sometimes it's not about the action on

923
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: the field. It's the lead up and it's what happens

924
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: before the game and after the game. And that's what

925
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: one time in Mexico shows. Yeah, and Michael Bidwell is

926
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: in there. And I didn't know this, but that was

927
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: the last year at Sundeville Stadium and he recommended to

928
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: commissioner then Paul Taglio, but let's go play a game

929
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: in Mexico. And obviously it was I mean, it's a

930
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: bigger stadium. That was the first time a game had

931
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: been played in Mexico. When it comes to the NFL,

932
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: teams have gone to other places, but that started. That

933
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: was the catalyst for the NFL to say, hey, what,

934
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: you know what, we can go in addition to Mexico,

935
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: we can go into London and perhaps maybe Germany down

936
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: the road. But that was the first game, you know,

937
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: you know, my early prediction is that ninth game next

938
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: year Mexico. Well, they were supposed to go in twenty twenty.

939
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 1: That was canceled because of the pandemic. It wasn't ready

940
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty one to be a part of

941
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: the schedule. So twenty twenty two, if we continue to

942
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: trend in the direction that we are, and that is

943
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: every once day safe, then yeah, I do believe the

944
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: Cardinals will be playing in Mexico City. Cardinals have nine

945
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: road games this year, Cleveland is the one. Next year

946
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: they'll have nine home games and you give one of

947
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: those up and then you have the bird gag travel

948
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: to Mexico. So is this a prediction or is this

949
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: a statement from Mike? Well, it's just a prediction. Okay. Now,

950
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: technically maybe this year was a little different because we

951
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: usually get the schedule in May or April, but sometimes

952
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 1: they announce those games a little bit earlier so people

953
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: can make reservations and then hopefully the borders open and

954
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: everything else where no issues. But I do think considering

955
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: that they are have nine home games next year, that's

956
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: one game I think they would give up to go

957
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: to Mexico and create that fan base like they have

958
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: in the past. Knock on wood, that's exactly what happens again.
