12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton. The goal of every team is to make

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Cardinals have checked that box. Now they just

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: need to be playing like a playoff team. Three straight

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: losses of three and five record after a seven and

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: oh starts more questions about this team than perhaps at

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: any other time this season, and that is not good,

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: especially as we close out the month of December and

19
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: no longer do we talk about December football, and all

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden spot January football with the eighteen game

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: regular season schedule. But you look at what happened on

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: Christmas Night, Cardinals lose in Ananapolis cold twenty two to sixteen.

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: Everyone is up in arms. Drew Stanton, you as a

24
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: former player, we bring you in because while you're kind

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: of the calm and soothing voice here on the Cardinals

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Red Sea Report, because you don't panic, even in good

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: times or bad times. So where are we right now

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: after sixteen weeks of the regular season, which is two

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: games to go before the postseason begins. That's a very

30
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: kind lead in. I like that. Yeah, I think this

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: game is emotional, right, and you play with your emotions

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday And there's a lot of question marks with

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: this team, but those answers only come on day So

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: what are they doing from now until game day to

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: get ready? And that's the biggest thing you want to see.

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: I think the emotions are involved. They have to be involved.

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: And I loved the way the defense played. You could

38
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: see them passionate, flying around doing all the things that

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: we were accustomed to, not letting Jonathan Taylor even get

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: started behind the line of scrimmage. I talked about it

41
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: last week besides that first run where they had some

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: leakage and he got out and he looked, what you know,

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: as good as he ever did that first run. They

44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: bottle them up. But I think you go back and

45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: you remove the emotions post game after the twenty four

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: hour rule, quote unquote, like that's why that is in place,

47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: because then it becomes just though, hey, did you do

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: your assignment and alignment on this job. You're identifying why

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: it is And if you look at the last three

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: losses and really you talk about it from a player's perspective,

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose a game. It's just inevitable. In this league.

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: You might lose back to back games. You never want

53
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: to lose three in a row because that puts you

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball. And that's when the questions really

55
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: started rising. They've lost three different ways. If you look

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: at turn overs against the Rams, if you look at

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: just a complacent team that was unprepared to play. I

58
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: thought they could just show up and just beat a

59
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: team that was inferior. That was a lesson to be learned.

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: Last week, they played a really good football team that

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: was forcing turnovers. They didn't give them anything. They just

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: lost a close football game and didn't make enough plays.

63
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: Why didn't they make those plays? Everybody kind of took

64
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: their turn. In my opinion, they were looking around waiting

65
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: for somebody else to make a play. And when you're

66
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: doing that, that kind of lets you know the demeanor

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: of the team isn't being as aggressive as you need

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: to be. And that's where the leadership component steps up

69
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: and says, hey, guys, I'm gonna make a play. Here,

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna make a play. You know, the onset of

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: the game at the very beginning, when Christian Kirk drops

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: that ball, that Kyler makes an unbelievable throw, that's unsettling.

73
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you start moving around, you jump

74
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: off sides, you do these little things, and it's not

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: necessarily showing up in the stat column. Right, it's not

76
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: a yards per carrier or any of these things. It's

77
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: just a little bit out of sync here or there.

78
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Kyler's feeder off on a throw and he leaves it short.

79
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: You know, all of these little things and they add up.

80
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: And because the margin of arab gets smaller and smaller

81
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: as we move into January football, that's why they can

82
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: put their finger on it and and say we just need

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: to make sure that we're doing every little thing possible

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: as we get ready and make a playoff push. Yeah,

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: I agree with the rush defense. I mean they had

86
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: ten tackle for losses. But the past defense they made

87
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz look like a pro bowler. And give him credit,

88
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: he stood in the pocket, he made a lot of

89
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: good throws. I thought for three quarters they had pressure.

90
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: It was I was anticipating possibly getting a turn over

91
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: there and then when he did in the fourth quarter,

92
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: but he was eighteen for twenty eight two twenty five,

93
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and it's just four plays over twenty more yards.

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: And the strength that his team was a secondary. Now.

95
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: I was telling Craig watching the game binoculars, there were

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: times that Carson would go to the line and he

97
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: would see single coverage with Pittman on Marco Wilson. He

98
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: would check out of that play, and we talked about

99
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: stacking the line and you're gonna have to rely on

100
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: your outside guys. Now, they didn't have Robert All, who's

101
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: more of a physical guy. Bibron Murphy's kind of tailed

102
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: off a little bit. We know the safety's having played

103
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: as well as before, but again it's it's it's the

104
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: front seven getting pressure and then the back end trying

105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: to cover. And again the cis pass defense. Over the

106
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: less three weeks, they have been attacked. Look at Matthew

107
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: Stafford twenty three or thirty two, eighty seven three touchdowns,

108
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: Jerikoff twenty one to twenty six only two sixteen three touchdowns.

109
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's happening with the secondary because

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: that was a strength going into the season. And Marco

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Wilson's on the shelf right now. Robert Offord can't come

112
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: back for another week, so it's going to be interesting,

113
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: and then you've got to face the Cowboys, which we'll

114
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: get into the last segment. But I couldn't agree more

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: about Jonathan Taylor after that first run, all this MVP talk,

116
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: he's going to run for two hundred yards now and again,

117
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: twenty of twenty seven carries were less than three yards,

118
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: and Greed pointed out to me four yard carries plus

119
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: a seven yard and they run average two point yards

120
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: carry f that at forty three yard runs. So rush

121
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: defense was great, which has been an issue the past.

122
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: Defense is now an issue, and the offense overall not

123
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: scoring enough points sixteen points on Saturday of the week

124
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: prior twelve points. You got to be able to score

125
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: more than that. Defense was solid, not outstanding, but did

126
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: well enough to win on Saturday, just didn't happen. Everyone

127
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: wants to know why now during this three game losing streak,

128
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: what has happened from the first part of the season

129
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: to now Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. We continue to

130
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: find ways to lose games instead instead of winning, and

131
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: we got to get that flipped early on in the season.

132
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: We're doing a great job of not committing kind of

133
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: those crucial penalties and mistakes that hurt us, and we

134
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: continue to do that in this three game losing streak.

135
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Penalties are the big thing that stand out to me.

136
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Eleven of them a season high eleven for eighty five yards.

137
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Not always the number though, it's what kind when do

138
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: they happen? Pre snap penalty? These five of the eleven

139
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: drew were before the snap. Three fault starts and in

140
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: two on the defense neutral zone or off sides. That

141
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: can't happen, especially at home. Yeah, I mean, that's a

142
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: discipline issue at that point, that's a focus issue at

143
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: that point where you've got to be able to dial in,

144
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone offensive line, you can't be

145
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: moving backwards right like with the way the feel of

146
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: the game was going with the missed extra point and

147
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: then the missfield goal, all of those things, all of

148
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: those yards are so important, and what the offense was

149
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: doing so well at the first portion front of the

150
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: year was they were converting those into touchdowns. There was

151
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: no settling for field goals. They were in attack mode,

152
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: they were running the ball, they were doing all of

153
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: these things that you needed to do to put six

154
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: points up on the board and not settling for field

155
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: goals or not settling for miss field goals. And when

156
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: you start to feel that, you start to press a

157
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: little bit more. And this is a long season. As

158
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: we talked about, you got out to a fast start,

159
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: you were the leader of the pack, you were doing

160
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: great things and everything was clicking. Keeping that is just

161
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: as hard as getting it going again. And we're seeing

162
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: that right now with this offense. It's not to say

163
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: that they can't be done, but you have to get

164
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: more creative because what you're dealing with with the injuries,

165
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: with COVID, with all of these unknowns, and they've done

166
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: a great job of dealing with a different variable as

167
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the year, But right now they

168
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: can't quite put their finger on why they're so out

169
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: of sync. And now was not the time to press.

170
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: Now was not the time to do more or anything else.

171
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: But the habits that you've set up throughout the course

172
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: of this year, the preparation that you've put in that

173
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: got you to feeling good to where that is, maybe

174
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: you need to take an honest assessment and say, hey,

175
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: am I doing all of those same things now? Am

176
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: I showing up? Am I getting in the cold tub

177
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: of nobody's healthy right now? Nobody's body feels good. You know,

178
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: that's just not the way it is. We don't play

179
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: a sport that anybody's feeling good at this point. So

180
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to overcome some of these things.

181
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: And really it's about pulling everybody along with you, right

182
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: whether it's Kylier doing it with the young wide receivers,

183
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: or instilling confidence, whether it's getting Rodney Hudson back. I

184
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: think that's going to be a huge thing. And we

185
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: talk about it at nauseum about having a pro Bowl center. Yes,

186
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: he is a centerpiece that's much needed. James Connor. Not

187
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: having him out there, I think that affects this offense

188
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: because he has that mentality of, Hey, I'm going to

189
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: get in the dog fight. I'll go into an alley

190
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: with anybody, and I'm going to come out victorious. You

191
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: can't teach that. It's an infectious personality that just it

192
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: permeates throughout the entire offense. So getting those two guys back,

193
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: I think you'll see that switch, you know, flipped a

194
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: little bit. Because Chase is a tremendous running back. I

195
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: would still love to see them on the field together

196
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: because how do you defend that? Who do you put

197
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: out there? And those are the mismatches that you really

198
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: have to hone in on because you don't have a

199
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: very simple mismatch of hey, put DeAndre out there one

200
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: on one, we get it, take it. No, we don't

201
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: have that anymore. So how can create advantages and how

202
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: can we be innovative with the hand that we've been dealt?

203
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: And that's really what they're probably trying to do and

204
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: all the work that goes into the first portion of

205
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: this week. When this team was winning games there, you know,

206
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: they won a few games when they only had like

207
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven carries. This team has eight wins when they

208
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: run the ball thirty or more to right. And again,

209
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: a lot of those games came down to the fourth quarter.

210
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: Cardinals had a lead, so they can run the clock

211
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: out and perfect back as James Conner. In the last

212
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: three games, Cardinals have thrown the ball forty nine times

213
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: against the Rams, fifty against the Lions someone that was

214
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy and the mob up duty, and then forty

215
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: three last week. Over those three games, they ran the

216
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: ball twenty two, twenty one and twenty one. They're throwing

217
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: the ball in these last three games seventy five percent.

218
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: And they're not getting touchdowns from their wide receivers. Now.

219
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: Connor obviously takes a lot of those short yardage. Zach

220
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: Hurts has a couple of touchdowns in their Christian Kirk

221
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: and just based on Kyler's completion percentage over the last

222
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: couple of games. And I know every team has injuries,

223
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: just having DeAndre Hopkins on the field, just having the

224
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: presence of him, like we're hoping JJ wat can do it,

225
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: it makes a difference. Yeah, Well, I think you look

226
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: at that and you say those numbers versus the three

227
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks of the opposing team that have won and

228
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight passes twenty six. That's the happy medium, right,

229
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about twenty five to thirty five

230
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: passes where you're mixing those two in. And then the

231
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: other key component is explosive plays. You talk about explosive

232
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: plays that we haven't necessarily gotten versus the other teams.

233
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: Of Matthew Stafford throwing the ball deep. We saw a

234
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: little bit of Carson being able to do that and

235
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: create the things that we didn't see from him in

236
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: the past. But he's still a the top first overall pick,

237
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: second overall pick for a reason. Right. He's shown these

238
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: capabilities and Jared goffs the same way. They're getting chunk

239
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: plays and being efficient of the balance where we've been

240
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: completely unbalanced. Well, Craig had a great stat about halfway,

241
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: maybe even three or four weeks ago, forty eight percent rushing,

242
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: fifty two percent passing. It's flipped right now. They're getting

243
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: away from what got them here to ten wins. Run

244
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: the ball opens up play action easier said than done,

245
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: it is, and it would help if this team doesn't

246
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: shoot themselves in the foot like we heard from head

247
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury. Here's Kyle the Murray on the critical

248
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: mistakes this team is making right now. Good teams don't

249
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: do that, you know, and we weren't doing that early

250
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: on in the season, and now you see it's killing

251
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: us and crucial moments were not scoring touchdowns because of

252
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: it or vice versa. On the other side of the ball.

253
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's as a collective group offensively and defensively,

254
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: like it's just with the mental mistakes that you just

255
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: can't keep can't keep making. Post game Saturday on with

256
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: Paul Calbisi and Ron Wolfley, Kingsbury kept bringing up the

257
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: word a disconnect between what is happening during the week

258
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: of practice and it not translating over onto the field

259
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: on game day. Here's more from the head coach on

260
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: just that and where the focus needs to be. Tuesday

261
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: through Saturday. Obviously haven't played as well as we were liked,

262
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: and we just talked about being able to treat each practice,

263
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: replay a game rep. You know, don't let things slide.

264
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: Don't say, hey, coach, I would have got it right

265
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We're way too far into this deal to

266
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: be falling back in any habits like that, and so

267
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: that that's what we got to do. It starts on

268
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: the practice and it's got to be able to carry

269
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: over the game day. And we got a lot of

270
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: work to do this week. Do you play how you

271
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: practice correct or the week? Making too much to that?

272
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm reading in between the lines there, and

273
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot more to that than just saying, Hey,

274
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: it's it's how we prepare. It's preparation, right, it is preparation,

275
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: and you've got to feel good going into a game

276
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: and you do practice how you play, but your practice

277
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: habitts should be established at this point. If what was

278
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: Cliff was saying, and this is the first time I've

279
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: heard this in my mind, it's guys saying, oh I

280
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: made a mistake. And BA used to call it finger popping.

281
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: You know, snap your fingers. Oh man, you snap your

282
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: fingers on the practice field, you line up, and you

283
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: do it again. You get it correct. That's the mentality

284
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: you have to have. You can't accept mistakes. You can't

285
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: accept people running the wrong route. You can't accept missing

286
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: a hot or missing a block or doing any of

287
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: those things, because that's what carries over. Are you going

288
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: to have to correct things. Yes, that's the XS and

289
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: the others, but the attitude and the effort those must

290
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: be givens at this point. And it was taken for

291
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: granted in Detroit. It cost them a victory because they

292
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: looked placing out there. So whether or not that transpires

293
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: on the practice field and is okay with some of

294
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: these guys, and whether Rodney Hudson's not out there and

295
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: now he's going to be back out there and he's

296
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: grabbing guys by the face mask. I don't know him personally.

297
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't know the demeanor of this team. But the

298
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: leaders of this team, if they allow little things to happen,

299
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: those little things become big things. And that's what I

300
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: think people don't necessarily understand. But we won't get a

301
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: field for that because we're not in that inner circle.

302
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: On top of okay, who are the leaders? Are they

303
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: doing all of these things? And again, I think that

304
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: it's easy to dissect some of these things, and it's

305
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: harder because there's underlying issues that we might not even

306
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: know about from the standpoint as far as you know,

307
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: usually you can divide things into three things. Right, there's

308
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: an offense and the offense should only care about themselves,

309
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: and the defense is the defense, and they got to

310
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: care about themselves. But ultimately playing that complimentary football, they

311
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: have not done that completely. And you add special teams

312
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: in the component, which we never talk about on the

313
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: show unless it's a weakness, which it was last week.

314
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: So all three of these things could melt it together

315
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: in on a Sunday or Saturday as it was last week,

316
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: and that's what we're judging and basing everything off of

317
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: of those sixty minutes. But the lead up time to

318
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: that is really what they need to again have a

319
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: true identity of what they're going and the accountability that

320
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: goes into that is really you know, maybe in question

321
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: at this point. Well, and you know this is an excuse,

322
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: but when you play on a Monday night and a Saturday,

323
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: you don't have the same practice time. And at this

324
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: point in the year, I mean, he puts a lot

325
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: of emphasis how the practice goes. Now it can you

326
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: only go eighty percent? A lot of these are walk

327
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: through practices. At this point in the year, you're trying

328
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: and I think he's trying to do the right thing

329
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: to keep his team healthy for the stretch run. Here,

330
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: So again no excuses. This team competes every day in practice.

331
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: At least we see the open portion, there's energy, there's temple.

332
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: But now it needs to carry over to game day,

333
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: back to back short weeks as far as preparation correct

334
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: going into the Lions game and going into the Old game.

335
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: We'll see if that changes here this week heading into

336
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys contest. Subscribe to Arizona Cardinals podcast on

Speaker 1: radio network. Tyler seven and nine passing to start the

341
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: game four and a half to play in the first quarter.

342
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna pull it, tucks in and runs it

343
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: up the middle into Colts territory at the forty five

344
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: forty these three at the thirty, Kenny Housing at the

345
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: ten five, tackle by the ankles at the two yard line.

346
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: Hyler HiT's the nightdress and nearly takes that apple length

347
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: of the field. Kyler under center with Chase Edmonds behind him,

348
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: takes the game off the left side into the end.

349
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Sult On touch. Cardinals counter with a touchdown and they're

350
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: an extra point away from tying this game. What a

351
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: huge response, five big run, Great job of the fort

352
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: to attack. Jase Edmonds watshit a seven play ninety yard

353
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: drive highlighted by Kyler's career long fifty seven yard run,

354
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: and then Chase Edmonds punches it in from two yards

355
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: out and yeah, great response. But then the air led

356
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: out of the balloon as the pat was wide left,

357
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: so instead of a tie ball game, Cardinals trailed seven

358
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: to six with three minutes to go in the first

359
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: quarter and they were playing catchup for the rest of

360
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: the first half, did take an early lead and the

361
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: third quarter, but ultimately lost twenty two to sixteen. As

362
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: we continue here on the Cardinals Red Seat Report, Craig Rail,

363
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton, and Mike Drecki a ten and five team,

364
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: but three straight losses, including that game against the Colts

365
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: on Christmas Night, and specifically looking at the offense first

366
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: game this season, Drew I was looking it up during

367
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: the break that the Cardinals did not have their starting center,

368
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver, and the one two punch minus James Connors,

369
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: so three key pieces missing on Saturday nights and yes,

370
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: the Colts were minus a lot of players, The Lions

371
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: have been a lot of players, the Rams have been

372
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: minus a lot of players. But for this offense to work,

373
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: you need to have those pieces back. And the Cardinals

374
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: are getting James Connor hopefully back this week. They are

375
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: going to get Rodney Hudson back this week, but we

376
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: know DeAndre Hopkins is gone at least into a late January.

377
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: But this offense certainly is different when you don't have

378
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: number ten on the football field. It's completely different. I mean,

379
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: you take that piece of the puzzle out of there

380
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: and it becomes a little bit different from the standpoint

381
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: of how not only you're going to attack teams, but

382
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: how teams are trying to play you. Right. I mean,

383
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: Kyler has really taken that step forward this year of

384
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: saying I'm not going to force the ball to him

385
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna wait for my one on one and

386
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: when they come, I know he's going to make the play.

387
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: Not having that security blanket is extremely difficult. But again,

388
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: I think that you have to make a concerted effort

389
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: as a quarterback to say okay, that means it's going

390
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: to require me to be even more dialed into this

391
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: game plan. I'm going to know exactly where I'm going

392
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: with my reads, my progressions, with getting out of runs

393
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: and checking the passes and short intermediate passes and being patient. Right,

394
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: you have to be patient and you have to be

395
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: really smart with the football. And he did that, I

396
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: thought for the most part in the first half, and

397
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: then the second half you go out and now you

398
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: adapt a game plan to what you need to do

399
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: to win that football game. The last thirty minutes is okay,

400
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: this is how they're defending us. They're playing more zone.

401
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: They're gonna man pressure us, they're gonna zone pressure us.

402
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to drop it out. And the blueprint for

403
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: what teams think they can do to stop Kyler it's

404
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: a moving target. And I think that's where you look

405
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: at these quarterbacks that are franchise quarterbacks, established quarterbacks over

406
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: the duration of a time period. It's not a one

407
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: year or two year thing. They've been able to survive

408
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: the test of time. And Kyler's kind of a crossroad

409
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: right now. Right people have kind of figured out, let's

410
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: make them be patient, let's play more zone, Let's not

411
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: give him these plays. How does he change? How does

412
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: he change with Cliff in conjunction to those two working

413
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: together and being on the same page. And I think

414
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 1: that's where the disconnect seems like it exists a little bit.

415
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Right now, Okay, we need to stay ahead of the sticks,

416
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: We need to stay ahead of the chains and being

417
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: manageable down in distance, and again that comes through running

418
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: the football, that comes through setting up all these passes.

419
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: And now is the time to throw caution to the

420
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: win as far as you don't need to protect Kyler

421
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: Coller has got to go out and win some football games.

422
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: And we saw him scrambling and we saw him using

423
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: his legs more. As of late, he should be pretty fresh.

424
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: He had a couple of games off. He shouldn't be

425
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: in too much pain to be able to go out there.

426
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: He was rolling on the long run. That's set up

427
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown. These are all added dimensions that they really

428
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: need to tap into more when you're missing a centerpiece

429
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: of an entire offense like DeAndre Hopkins. Now you know

430
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: Hopkins eight touchdowns and one was from the twenty yard line.

431
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: According to Craig, that doesn't cut in the red zones,

432
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: but seven of his other touchdowns were in the red zone,

433
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: and he did have a drop going in when he

434
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: was on the field. The thing is, though, these other receivers,

435
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: they got to get separation if we want to look

436
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: at it. Over the last two games since Hop's been out,

437
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: Urge has been targeted us. He's got twenty nine targets,

438
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: fourteen catches for one hundred and twenty eight yards. Kirk's

439
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: been targeted twenty one times, sixteen catches one hundred and

440
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: forty two yards touchdown. AJ Green has five catches ninety

441
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: seven yards. Wesley had a touchdown last week. It looks like,

442
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, those guys are getting their reps. Let me

443
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: ask you though, when it came to the low snaps,

444
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: and you know, Maxcarcy is playing out a position. He's

445
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: learned this position, and you gotta give him credit because

446
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: you know he's the best, next best option. Nothing against

447
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: Sean Harlow. But when in that situation, Craig maybe thought

448
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: he can catch it to me, I thought it would

449
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: be difficult. Obviously he did the best thing. Maybe he

450
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: just kick it out the end zone, take the safety.

451
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: But his demeanor going to the sidelines, I mean, if

452
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm him, I'm going to Max Garcy and I put

453
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: my arm around him saying listen, I know you're playing

454
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: out a position, but we believe. I just didn't like

455
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: the body language. Going to the silent Max Garcia probably

456
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,479
Speaker 1: felt the worst of anybody in the stadium. What are

457
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that stuff? I mean, that's a case

458
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: by case scenario. I think that that goes into playing

459
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: this position though. That's something. Look, I was not the

460
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: most talented. I knew that I was a backup. I

461
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: had to make up for what I lacked in talent

462
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: by being charismatic, by earning people's trust, by earning people's respect,

463
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of different ways to do that.

464
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: You have to have people believe in you, and Kyler

465
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: has always had people believe in him because he's been

466
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: the best, most talented guy on the field. Playing this

467
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: position at this level is much more difficult than just

468
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 1: being the best guy on the field. And those are

469
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: the little things, those little nuances that we don't see

470
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: of the body language. And I don't know what happened

471
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: in that Green Bay game, but when Kyler didn't call

472
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: out h Green like he maybe could over should have,

473
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, he's maturing, He's doing all these things.

474
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: But we keep talking about body language, and if it's

475
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: readily evident to us, then it's even more apparent to

476
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: everybody on that side lines, and that becomes an issue.

477
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: You talk about some of the stuff, and again, I

478
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: don't like to signal out certain people because I think

479
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: it's really hard. But when you play a position of

480
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: that nature, or if you're a cornerback, confidence is really important.

481
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: But you see, like Byron Murphy is just always kind

482
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: of pointing fingers at somebody else. That becomes also one

483
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: of these things that you it's a slippery slope because

484
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you didn't do your job. You're

485
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: pointing me out. And I hate to go down that

486
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: road because that tight knit locker room that we saw

487
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the year when Chandler was going

488
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: back and forth and you know, making fun of Kyler,

489
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: all that seems like it's in the rear view mirror

490
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: and it's so far behind us because nothing's fun about

491
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: losing three in a row, and Kyler just expects certain

492
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: things and guys have played to that level. There's reserve

493
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: type guys like Max Garcia that's doing the best he

494
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: can and people don't understand playing center. It's hard enough

495
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: to block everybody and some of these guys that are

496
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: over your face that are hard enough on the en tier,

497
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: but to snap the ball and then get your hands

498
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: and do all these it's really hard. And that was

499
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: one thing that I have always told young quarterbacks that

500
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: come into this league. If there's a bad snap in practice,

501
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: if there is a fumbled snap in practice, you raise

502
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: your hand and you take that bullet. You put the

503
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: responsibility and you put the onus on yourself and say hey,

504
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: it's bad. And I used to get cussed out, but

505
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: the amount of stress it took off of that offensive lineman,

506
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: like I can't tell you the number of guys that

507
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: came over to me and like, oh my gosh, thank god.

508
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: The same thing with the drop past and practice, say

509
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: my bad. B I used to turn around be like,

510
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: shut up, you didn't throw that ball bad. And I

511
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: was like, no, it was my fault. And I remember

512
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: Jim Drake came up to me one time. He goes,

513
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: I've never had a quarterback stick up for me like that,

514
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: and he goes, you have no idea what that means

515
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: to me, And I was like, man, the ability to

516
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: have that and to have it because again, as a quarterback,

517
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: you have to be confident and you have to be assured,

518
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: but you also have to everybody else's back, which again

519
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not saying that Kyler's not doing that,

520
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: but it's something that maybe you know that those are

521
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: the little things that you can kind of tie up

522
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: or get better at well. And I mean, I don't

523
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: know if this is an excuse, but he is still

524
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: learning the position. I mean, clearly they've made strides in

525
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: the third year. We got a chance to see that

526
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: in camp. And I know, you know, people an say,

527
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: well it was training camp, but he's you know, the

528
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: way they were playing. He was eight and one as

529
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback before he got hurt and near and

530
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: putting up thirty points a game over four hundred yards.

531
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: My thing is, I think he's pressing and the MVP

532
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: conversation is over. I just hope he's he's he's running

533
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: the offense. They want him to run versus freelancing a

534
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: little bit. And again I don't know that, but it

535
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: just seems like he's not the same quarterback that he was,

536
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of months ago, at least a

537
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: month ago. Yeah, I mean, I think just by watching

538
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: him play right, his feet seem off, and I've talked

539
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: about it here before, like he's not hitting guys in stride,

540
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: he's missing a little high low. And part of that's

541
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: standing in there and saying, okay, you have to have

542
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: the mental fortitude to overcome some of those early pressures

543
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: or hits or anything that comes with playing this position.

544
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean, guys that I've been around almost probably stood

545
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: in there too much. Andrew Luck would stay in there

546
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: and get a beating. And but you have to overcome

547
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: some of those things to be able to make the

548
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: throw when it counts. And Kyler has done a good

549
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: job of that. You know, it's just a matter of

550
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: doing it because assistantly and being able to set it

551
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: up again. It's an imperfect science of how you overcome

552
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: that and how you establish that relationship with Cliff because

553
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: they've done a really good job of it. But again,

554
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: it's adapting because people are always kind of trying to

555
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: find ways how to stop you well and quickly here

556
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: because Craig's here and I want to make sure go ahead.

557
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it. On the other side, you look

558
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: at Murray's overall numbers, from Saturday, over three hundred yards.

559
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: He accounted for twenty seven forty three one passing touchdown.

560
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: We know about that seventy four yards on the ground.

561
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: As far as rushing, he's running for me too many times.

562
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: As far as within this offense, he doesn't need to

563
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: run this much unless something is wrong. And I think

564
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: that's what we're seeing in the last couple of weeks.

565
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: Something's wrong with this offense. Here's head coach Cliff kingsburyan

566
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: what he saw out of his starting quarterback on Saturday.

567
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: You know, I thought he did some good things, battled,

568
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, had had some nice plays with his feet.

569
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: But overall, offensively, we just have to be more consistent. Me.

570
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: We gotta be able to score touch ends in the

571
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: red zone. We keep coming up short down there, and

572
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: you can't continue to kick field goals in this league.

573
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: And you brought that up earlier, Drew, And you look

574
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: over the last three games. These three games, all losses

575
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: five of ten inside the red zone, and that Yeah,

576
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: that's good in some areas, but not when you're inside

577
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: the twenty yard line. Yeah. No, I'm not a huge

578
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: stats guy, but that's there's cause for a concern. There that,

579
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: and you you match that up with an opportune penalties

580
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: at the wrong time, as you talked about earlier in

581
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: the show, and it's hard to overcome good football teams

582
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: at this point because good football teams are scoring in

583
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: the red zone. Good teams are not shooting themselves in

584
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, if you look at the Colts,

585
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: I think they're one of the best, if not the best,

586
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: as far as penalties per game. The other thing that

587
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: the stat that we were talking about, and this is

588
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: one stat that I do think there's a lot of

589
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: merit in is it's the yards per attempt. And now

590
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: if you go back and you look at that. I

591
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: remember talking to a defensive coordiner when I was young

592
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and Gunther Cunningham told me would get

593
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: on the bus and he would say, I always go

594
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: look at that stat first, because that stat is so

595
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: telling what we did on defense and what we gave

596
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: the offense. So yards per attempt, I think is something

597
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: from an efficiency standpoint, whether you're getting the chunk players,

598
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: how much you actually have to throw it, all of

599
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: those things. And we can manipulate stats to make us

600
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: feel good or make us feel bad to justify right,

601
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 1: wrong and different any of those things. But yards per

602
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: attempt was one that I always kind of peaked at

603
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 1: after a game on if we gave up a lot

604
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: of points or if we scored a lot of points

605
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: and said, okay, that leads us to believe we had success.

606
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: Of course, the only stat that matters right now for

607
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: the Cardinals is a three game losing streat Kyle the

608
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: murray on where this team is at here late December.

609
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is get in, you know, that's

610
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: all you gotta do. But at the end of the day,

611
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: you don't want you know, we don't. We don't want

612
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: to get in playing the way we're playing. You know,

613
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: it's we want to go in play and feeling good

614
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: about ourselves and what we're doing. The thing about it

615
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: is it's fixable. You know. We just got to look

616
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: ourselves in the mirror, stopped making these you do these mistakes. Um,

617
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: you know right now we're not We're not We're not

618
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: doing what we need to do. It may not matter

619
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: how you get in, but it definitely matters how you're

620
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: playing going in to the postseason. Teams do not struggle,

621
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: do not limp into the postseason and win Super Bowls.

622
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: That's just not what happens historically. Cardinals, though, as we mentioned,

623
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: are getting Rodney Hudson back. He's been activated off the reserve.

624
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen lists how big is that. Here's the head coach.

625
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Rodney has been huge for us. When you look at

626
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: the games that he's played in, We've played really well offensively,

627
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: and he's the security blanket for all of us, really,

628
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, in the line, the skill position players.

629
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's kind of the glue that's made it

630
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: all sick together. So it's a big deal to get

631
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: him back, and we'll ease him back in the next

632
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: few days, trying to get his conditioning going, make sure

633
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: he feels up to speed, and hopefully by game day

634
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: he's ready to roll. Hudson has missed five games this season,

635
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: the last two on the reserve. COVID nineteen lists the

636
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals record two and three, same record when the five

637
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: games that DeAndre Hopkins has missed. But I think Hudsons

638
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: is a bigger loss than DeAndre Hopkins. Is odd? Is

639
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: that sound at least for me personally? No, I wouldn't disagree,

640
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: just because we know that Kyler has been getting pressured.

641
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: They haven't been able on the football. He helps him

642
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: out with the calls. I mean, to me, he is

643
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: a security planket and he's been a great addition, and

644
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: even when we don't get a chance to hear what

645
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: he says on the sidelines. But really I don't disagree.

646
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: Even though you know, we know Hopp was one of

647
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: the top three or four receivers in football, but this

648
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: they need him right now and hopefully get Andy Lee back.

649
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: We don't know about his status because that holding. I mean,

650
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: that was a big issue in that game. And I

651
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: feel for Matt Prador. He told us, even though they

652
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: wanted Seattle, that was his worst game, and they kept

653
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: showing him on the sidelines, and I was just like,

654
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: it's got to be frustrating knowing that we this guy

655
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: can make those kicks in his sleep. So but I

656
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: will say this, it's just it's just to a point

657
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: where this team needs to get off to a good start.

658
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: And the problem is when you're throwing the ball forty

659
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: or forty three times, you're trailing, and all of a sudden,

660
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: the play actions. You can't run the ball. So it's

661
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: important even if it's three points or seven points. They

662
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: can't be trailing after their first quarter down ten nothing,

663
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: seventeen nothing in Detroit. Getting off to a good start

664
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: I think would alleviate some of this pressure in the

665
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: defense can come in and play complimentary football, stay on schedule,

666
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: and that goes to what the offense wants to do

667
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: as far as not playing from behind the sticks and

668
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: then also playing with the lead opens up everything and

669
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: it makes the allows the defense to be a little

670
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: bit more aggressive as well. The Day Pash Podcast Episode

677

Speaker 1: comes Booter racing or trying to corral Carson Way from behind.

678
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: He tracks him and backs him, Hag ties him from behind.

679

680
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: How about that, beasts Joseph flashing a little covered zero zero. Bring.

681
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: Everybody hunts over the wall. Kyler is looking left, hats it,

682
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: throws it towards the far sideline and there's the touchdown.

683
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: Antslan Wesley the big target on the far sideline, and

684
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: that fast was right on the money. Kyler drops it

685
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: in the bucket for six. Oh. That is big time

686
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: right there by Kyler Murray. The only time the Cardinals

687
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: took a lead on Christmas Night. The Antoine Wesley touchdown

688
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: catch made it thirteen to twelve. Complimentary football. We heard

689
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker with the sack on third down. Get the

690
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: Colts off the field. Kyle the Murray company come on

691
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: the field and a quick three play forty two yard

692
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: drive to make it thirteen to twelve. Buddha Baker one

693
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: of the few bright spots in that game on Saturday,

694
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: a game high twelve tackles, one sack, twelve excuse me,

695
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: two tackles were lost, two quarterback hits, and a pass defense.

696
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: He wears that see on his chest for a reason.

697
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Here is the Buddha Baker after the game. You know,

698
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: I definitely feel like it was it was a hard

699
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: fought game. I definitely felt like the defense, Uh, you know,

700
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: we made our place here and there of course his

701
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: self inflicted wounds, the penalties, the refine passers, the pis,

702
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: the you know, the false starts early in the game.

703
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: So you know, I kind of forgot your question. But

704
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of kind of, kind of angry,

705
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: mild mannered Buddha Baker unless he's between the lines, and

706
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: then the I'm kind of angry. Yet he's soft spoken

707
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: and he was very stoic up there, but you could

708
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: tell it it's bothering him. But he's trying not to

709
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: show it outwardly, trying to be that leader to where

710
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: everyone looks to him for strength, and yet he's he's

711
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: just as frustrated as everyone else. Oh, it's tremendous though.

712
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you can hear the passion in a voice,

713
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: you can hear any processing. He's trying to identify the

714
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: things and he's searching for answers. And sometimes you can

715
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: do all the things right and it just doesn't go

716
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: your way. And he's been doing those things right. I mean,

717
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: they've only forced what one turnover in the last three games.

718
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: Is that where we're at, like this is a turnovers

719
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: comes to come in bunches and they have not been

720
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: coming very ragularly, but it's not for lack of effort

721
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: last week. And I think Buddha is a tremendous safety.

722
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: He's a Pro Bowl or for a reason. He does

723
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: all of these things and eventually that hopefully they get

724
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: the scales to tip back in their favor. And Buddha's

725
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: is doing all those things. He's saying those things and

726
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: all those things are correctable, right, It's technique. It's it's

727
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's just being a little

728
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: bit smarter and more disciplined of of doing these things.

729
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: So when you do get a fumble or a recovery,

730
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: or you don't have an illegal contact that takes it

731
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: away or all of those things, have a late hit

732
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: on a quarterback when channel i mean channeler could have

733
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: pulled up on that frustration on the part of Chandler

734
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 1: Jones on that one as a team captain, as a leader,

735
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker post game asked if it's up to him

736
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: to maybe he start in the words of the question,

737
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: barking at guys. We're still a family. There's been times

738
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: where guys are barking and you know that's just not

739
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: the way to go. We definitely got to understand the

740
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: things that guys are messing up on. And do you

741
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: continue to mess up on the same thing the same person.

742
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: Of course you're gonna get barked at. But you know,

743
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: we preach where a family, we got to stick together,

744
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: and if we can stick together, we know that the

745
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: good things are going to happen. You need to be

746
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: held accountable, and I think players are in that locker room,

747
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean you have to go up and

748
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: yell in someone's face. Yeah, I mean, like you said,

749
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of things we don't see behind

750
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: the scenes. I mean, I mean, football is a very

751
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: passionate and emotional game, and I couldn't imagine when it's

752
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: like to be in that locker room knowing that you

753
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance to a clinch of that game

754
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: against the against the Colts. But I'll say this though,

755
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: at least he didn't just talk about the penalties on defense.

756
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: To me, he's a captain and I think he's the

757
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: face of the defense. But he also talked about the

758
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: false star arts and so as a captain he's able

759
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: to do that. But I do like what he's saying

760
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: and Honestly, I've been impressed with Kyler after games. I mean,

761
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: he he knows that this team, you know, like Drew

762
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: said earlier, you go on a three game losing street,

763
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: people are going to start questioning things, whether that's right

764
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: or wrong, and it really comes down to execution and

765
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: this team. You know, again, you know, I've been hard

766
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: on Kylar just I want to see more from him.

767
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: But in that first half, he was dropping dimes. He

768
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: was loving for fifteen and for seventy nine yards if

769
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk catches that ball. And then the second half

770
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: he got a little word away from it. It just

771
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: because they were trailing and he's trying to make plays.

772
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: But I like the way he started that game. He

773
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: was very efficient throwing the football. Unfortunately didn't last for

774
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: four quarters. Well, even on that first possession of the

775
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: second half, the touchdown toss to Antoine Wesley, it looked

776
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: like he was throwing the football to DeAndre Hopkins, just

777
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: placed it perfectly and West he made a great catch.

778
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: Yet at the end of the day, Cardinals lose twenty

779
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: two to sixteen, three straight losses. So what is missing

780
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: from right now? From earlier in the year, here's Chase Edmonds.

781
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: What we were doing on our wednes Street We were

782
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: playing very well complimentary football. You know, if a defense

783
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: will get to turn it over, we usually turn it

784
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: into points or offensive gets it's a score seven, defense

785
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: gets it three. And note right now we're not playing

786
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: complimentary football right now. So that's one thing that we

787
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: got to work on that solves a lot of problems.

788
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: You brought it up earlier in the show, Drew as

789
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: far as the offense piggybacking off the defense and vice versa,

790
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: and right now it just seems out of sync as

791
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: far as what's going on with everyone trying to figure

792
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: out what they can do to get this team back

793
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: in the wind call. Yeah, and you see guys starting

794
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: to press. Like you said, you start to feel like

795
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: it's slipping away and you're trying to hold on to

796
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: it for dear life. And Kyler said it in the

797
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 1: press conference right reading between the lines of what he said,

798
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: we want to be playing good football going into the playoffs.

799
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: It's all fixable. Ie, they're not playing good football right now.

800
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: He knows it. So they're grabbing at straws and sometimes

801
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: it's a matter of just dialing in a little bit

802
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: more and continuing to just say, hey, we know it's

803
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Stick to the plan. Maybe it happens. Hopefully

804
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: it happens this week in Dallas against a very very

805
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: good Dallas Cowboys team. Will touch on that matchup coming

806
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: up as we continue here. It is the Cardinals Red

807
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: Sea Reports yearly all year round, every Tuesday morning at

808
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: eleven am right here on the Arizona Cardinals Rightio network,

809
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: first and ten on the Cardinal twenty snapped to Murray

810
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: drops back to throw, looking deep, airing it out middle

811
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: of the field. He's got Kirk. It's caught up the forty.

812
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: Kirk in the thirty with twenty fifteen ten five touchdown,

813
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: an eighty yards strike Kyler Murray to Christian Kirk. Two

814
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Kirk now in the game. Oh maybe that

815
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: was huge. Right there, Kyler Murray saw Christian Kirk and

816
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: he just ran the go rob what a great throw.

817
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray waited out there at Christian Kirk. What got it?

818
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: Last season Cardinals had little trouble with the Cowboys at

819
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: AT and T Stadium, But that was last season. Christian

820
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: Kirk with the eighty yard catch and run. This season.

821
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: A different story that Alice Cowboys eleven and four, four

822
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: straight wins in the Talk post game on Sunday night

823
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: was yeah, the slump is overall, though Dak Prescott took

824
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: a little bit of an exception to those questions from

825
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: the media. But we've seen the Cowboys, Buccaneers, Chargers. Every

826
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: team goes through these lulls, if you will, here's Cardinals

827
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury. As far as you know, having

828
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: a tough stretch, I mean, everybody in the league goes

829
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: through it at some point. Unfortunately it lee we're doing

830
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: it right now. But when you look at you know,

831
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and there were three and four in the

832
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: Rams lost snarl, I mean a lot of the tow

833
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: teams hepped out with it. We just gotta find a

834
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: way to fight our way out of it and continue

835
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: to improve and try to build some momentum as we

836
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: wrap up this season. You just don't want these lulls

837
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: in the month of December, Drew. So it does matter

838
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: when these lolls happen, because in September it's early. You

839
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: got plenty of time. Now it's you got two games

840
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: and this season could end quickly. Yeah, you gotta nip

841
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: it in the butt, and you got to find out why,

842
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: identify those problems. And I think those things are correctable. Now,

843
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: I will say this. I think in that game, right

844
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: if you see just by stats and you take out

845
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: all the other things, and you get a sense of

846
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,959
Speaker 1: Kyler played good enough to win the game. He didn't

847
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: lose the game where you know that might have been

848
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: said where with turnovers or anything like that. He was

849
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: smart with the football. You can build from that. That's

850
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: not what people want to hear. That's not you know,

851
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna make you feel better about losing. But he's

852
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: a lot closer to play in winning football in that

853
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: game than he did versus those red zone turnovers that

854
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: he had against the Rams. But you know, there's something

855
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: to be said. You look at everything from the outside,

856
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: looking in from from a bird's eye view. He's going

857
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: back home to Texas. He played really well there last year.

858
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: Jared Goff played really well against You know, guys just

859
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: feel comfortable in different settings. In certain situations, Jared Goff

860
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: feels very comfortable going against the Cardinals defense. He's going

861
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: to put on a show. I've just got a feeling

862
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: and I thought he played a good game, Like you said,

863
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: that first half he played well. But you start to

864
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: press when guys don't catch a football, you don't know,

865
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: you miss these opportunities and you start trying to force

866
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: them where you just got to be patient, and that

867
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: comes through getting a good running game going, get in

868
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: everything established. But I think Kyle is going to be

869
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: just fine and he's going up. This can't be one

870
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: of the things. And that's if I was cold, I

871
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: would be telling him on going into the week, we

872
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: don't have to get into a shootout. We've just got

873
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: to take care of ourselves, make our possessions count. We

874
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: don't have to sit there and worry about the scoreboard.

875
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: Don't look at the scoreboard, don't worry about trying to

876
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: be the best quarterback on the field. Be the best

877
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: version of yourself. Kyler on what we need to do

878
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: to win a football game. Because Dak Prescott in that

879
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: offense right now, they're rolling well. I think their defense

880
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: is better than our offense. I mean, I mean, these

881
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: guys are huge and obviously digs. I mean, I mean

882
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a front four like that. I mean,

883
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: they're huge across the board and they're making plays and

884
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: out of the offense. I mean they they they have

885
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: scored over one hundred points in every single quarter. Yeah,

886
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean and Cardinals. Cardinals have ninety six and eighty

887
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: three in the first and fourth quarter, Dallas one twenty one, nineteen,

888
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: one oh three, one oh nine. And now Dak Prescott.

889
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper comes out and said, I'm not getting the ball,

890
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: and he gets the ball. Schwartz, Schultz. He's got six touchdowns.

891
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: I mean this, dan Quinn has done a great job

892
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: with that defense. And Cardinals better bring their hard, hard hat.

893
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: And I'm encouraged when you get Rodney Hudson back. But

894
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 1: this Cowboys team, they're they're peeking r at the right time.

895
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 1: Scored on offense, defense, and special teams. And Dak Prescott

896
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw a

897
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to a running back, wide receiver, tight end,

898
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: and offensive lineman. Yeah, we had a lot of those

899
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: this week, right with the offensive lineman catching the ball.

900
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: It's hard score on the red zone. You got to

901
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: find ways to be creative. But to your point, dan

902
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: Quinn is the leader of this defense. Right, They've set

903
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: up a Seattle type of defense. Where they expect to

904
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: get pressure with their front four and they're doing it

905
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: and their linebackers are fast. I mean, Michael Parsons, he's

906
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: making this game look really easy for a rookie right

907
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: now because he doesn't look like a rookie and they've

908
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: got big play capability at every single level. Like I

909
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: was talking about last week on the show, right like

910
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: the d wash type of plays that we were used

911
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: to seeing here or all of a sudden, he would

912
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: change the outset of the game because of it. Michael

913
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: Parsons making those plays, trapelon Diggs making those plays for

914
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, the list goes on and on. Well, I

915
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: think I think Diggs is making those plays because they're

916
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: a pressure. I mean, the Cardinals didn't. Michael Parsons. Now

917
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: you used to take out the equation four three three four.

918
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: He's perfect what they're doing. But he's rushing the pasture though. Yeah,

919
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean this guy and I know they're going to

920
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: compare him to LT and let we'll slow down there.

921
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: But the fact that they're getting a pass rush that's

922
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: leading through a secondary. I mean, the Cowboys have scored

923
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: fifty four touchdowns this year, fifty four Cardinals have four seven.

924
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: But they when it comes to their defense, I mean

925
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: they're they're of coursing a ton of turnovers and you

926
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: talk about complimentary football. It's gonna be a tough matchup.

927
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: But it's a road game, we know, besides the Lions game.

928
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: The Cardinals feel like it's a business trip. But you know, receiving,

929
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: they got thirty two touchdowns and only have thirteen rushing touchdowns.

930
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: But again they're doing in different ways well. Number one

931
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: in takeaways the thirty three takeaways and fourteen of which

932
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: have come during this four game winning streak. The matchup

933
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: two twenty five on Sunday nine thirty am. Pregame coverage begins.

934
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals looking to snap a three game losing streak get

935
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: that eleventh win of the season. They know they're in

936
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: the postseason now. They just need to be playing like

937
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 1: a playoff team. And we'll talk about it in one
