Not a single 34 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 4: time in between then was Craig you asking me to 35 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 4: go get food? So bird Gang, don't if you're gonna 36 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 4: listen to him, listen to him about the football stuff. 37 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 3: Because that right there I would not trust. 38 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, Yes, we are here at the Biltmore, 39 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: the MacArthur Ballroom, to be specific. The league does this yearly, 40 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: sometimes in Phoenix, sometimes it's in Florida, but they'll do 41 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: this the annual league meeting or you've got head coaches, 42 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: general managers, owners all coming together and looking ahead to 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: that upcoming season, whether they've got rule changes, some proposals, 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: and then an opportunity, especially with the head coaches, to 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: kind of get to know more about what they're thinking 46 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: going into a season. And I believe that this is 47 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: just the counting the scouting combine. And then today the 48 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: second time since the interactory press conference that we have 49 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: heard from Lafloor at least take Q and A from 50 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: reporters correct our mind will see. 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 4: What we also had when he introduced Nathaniel Hackett and 52 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 4: coach Goby and reintroduced Nick Roulis. But this was at 53 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 4: least the first time in the week in the new 54 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 4: league year, and also the first time since the Cardinals 55 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 4: decided to part ways with Kyler Murray, which is right 56 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 4: where the conversation began with the head coach. 57 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was Look, we have thirty minutes with the 58 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: head coach and it didn't take long. 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 5: In fact, it was the very first question and it 60 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 5: was about Kyler Murray. 61 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: And not to be I wasn't a shock or surprised, 62 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: but now that it is official that the Cardinals have 63 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: decided to move on from Kyler Murray, and Lafleur said 64 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: all the right things, a lot of respects for QB one, 65 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: the former QB one, a lot of respect and wished 66 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: him well now that he's with the Minnesota Vikings. But 67 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: the conversation quickly after that turned to the quarterbacks within 68 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: the room, Jacoby Brissett and Garden Minshew. 69 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 5: And again not a surprise because. 70 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: Lafleour's an offensive minded head coach and quarterback is the 71 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: most important position on the field. 72 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: And coach Lafour is also the one who admitted that 73 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 4: and said, like, look, I get it why this is 74 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 4: the conversation right now. But I asked the Cardinals head 75 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: coach about now having Jacott kind of being the guy. 76 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 4: At least right now, the way that the room stands, 77 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: the Cardinals are likely to go with Jacoby Brissett, and 78 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 4: he talked about how he believes he fits in this 79 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: scheme in a large part because he said when you 80 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 4: see him. 81 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 3: Back there in the pocket. 82 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 4: That was a direct quote from the head coach that 83 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 4: really stood out to me because in Jacoby Brissett's NFL career, 84 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: a few times has he been the guy where he 85 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 4: has been the one in the pocket that he has 86 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 4: looked depart he has looked like the backup or the 87 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 4: person that you want to have in there. And obviously, 88 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 4: with the injury to Kyler Murray and the way that 89 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 4: the season went, the Cardinals opted to have Jacoby Brissett 90 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 4: be the guy. But I think Michael Ford saw enough 91 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 4: from what Jacoby Brissett brought to the table during his 92 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 4: first stint with the Cardinals last year. 93 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: During his first year. 94 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 4: Because he seemed very committed to what Jacoby Brissett can 95 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: bring to the table. I know that there was a 96 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 4: period during this offseason where there were talks about, oh, well, 97 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: are you going to trade Jacoby Brissett, What are you 98 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 4: going to do? 99 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: I don't think that. 100 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 4: I think that after listening to the head coach, that 101 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 4: that now could kind of be shut down a little 102 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 4: bit because he said, Jacoby looks the part back there, 103 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 4: and the quality that he liked the most was that 104 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: he was willing to stand in the pocket and take 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 4: a hit and deliver those passes. And I think when 106 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 4: you speak to guys like Trey McBride and Michael Wilson 107 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 4: and Marvin Harrison Junior, when they see that their quarterback 108 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: is willing to stay in the pocket for that extra 109 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: second just to possibly get them the football in the 110 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 4: right location. The receivers, the tight ends, the running backs, 111 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 4: the lineman, they're gonna love the guy even more. And 112 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 4: I think that's what the respect that Jacoby Brissett earned 113 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 4: in year number one. And I think when Gardner Minshew's case, 114 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 4: it also seems to be something that the head coach 115 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 4: really seemed to be interested in. He talked about how 116 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 4: their days back at the Senior Bowl and a FaceTime call. 117 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: I feel like he talked he tried dating himself a 118 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: little bit, Michael Ford, even though he's a young guy. 119 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 4: But he was talking about how one of the first 120 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 4: FaceTime calls he's ever had was with Gardner Minshew and 121 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: just his character. But now all of them get to 122 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 4: be in a room together and it'll be interesting to 123 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 4: see how that presents itself once the draft comes around 124 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 4: on April twenty third. 125 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: Lafloura hasn't worked with either Jacoby or Gardener as far 126 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: as on the NFL level day to day getting ready 127 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: for a week one, but you brought it up. You 128 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: could certainly sense the respect from Afarge. Kobe's got one 129 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: hundred plus games in his career, Gardner's got sixty plus 130 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: games in his career, so they've seen a lot as 131 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: far as the successes the failures, learn from those failures 132 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: to be better at their craft. So it's going to 133 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: be an interesting dynamic when you have all of those, 134 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: and don't forget about Keyton Slovis, do they add. 135 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 5: A quarterback in the room. 136 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: That was a question posed to Laflora, and he said, Hey, 137 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: we want to improve every single position room, not just 138 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: the quarterback room. But if there's a guy that they like, 139 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: maybe they do decide to add one meeting another quarterback, 140 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: which again brings up the draft. But the toughness part 141 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: of Jacoby and Gardner something that when Danny Sirek had 142 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: a chance to sit down with before way back when 143 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: when he was hired, and she brought up, what are 144 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: some traits, some characteristics that you look for in a quarterback, 145 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: And at that point everyone wanted to know what was 146 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: happening with that quarterback position. But before mentioned toughness, and 147 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: he brought it up again today talking about that's the 148 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: one train, that's the one trait that translate from college 149 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: to the NFL. Successful quarterbacks in the NFL have that toughness, 150 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: meaning they will stand in the pocket, they are comfortable 151 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: when that pocket decides to break down or there's issues, 152 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: there's trouble, you can dissect what is happening around you 153 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: and then figure out what's the best way to get 154 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: that playoff or live for the next down. And I 155 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: think with both Jacoby and Gardner, those two have exhibited 156 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: toughness in the pocket, being able to hand the pressure, 157 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: being able to handle the hits. We saw that a 158 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: lot with Jacoby, how many times he took those hits 159 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: trying to make a play. So whether or not it's 160 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: successful on game day, we'll have to wait and see. 161 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: But the respect that Lafloor has for the guys he inherited, 162 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: and then going out and bringing Gardner into the room, 163 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: I think puts that position at a at a good 164 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: starting point. When you're looking at here we are into March, 165 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: going into that first phase of the offseason program. 166 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: Well, I think we'll floor respected the toughness. 167 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: But once you are no longer on the opposing sideline 168 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: and now that's your quarterback, you will get it a 169 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 4: little bit differently, because, yes, Jacoby Brissette got pretty beat 170 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 4: up all throughout the year, and in large part that's 171 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: one of the reason why the Cardinals have focused heavily 172 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: on bringing in tons of depth on that offensive line 173 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 4: to make sure that the trenches are shored up a 174 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 4: little bit. But when it's your quarterback that's going to 175 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 4: be taking the hits, you can respect the toughness, but 176 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 4: you're also going to be fearful the results of what 177 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 4: it could potentially be if your quarterback is going to 178 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: be in the pocket for as long as Jacoby Brissett was. 179 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: But just while you were talking about it, I'm not 180 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: sure why I haven't thought of this beforehand, But when 181 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: you think about the quarterbacks, he has worked with matt 182 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 4: Ryan Matthew Stafford, two pocket passers that had no problems, 183 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 4: you know, taking that extra hit or staying in that 184 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 4: pocket for the extra second. 185 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: It's not necessarily what you always want. And I think 186 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 3: to the micd. 187 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 4: Up clip of Matthew Stafford when he was in Detroit 188 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: where he had the injury and he still stayed out 189 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 4: there on the field for the next play and threw 190 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 4: the touchdown. It was some sort of upper body injury 191 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 4: that he had, And like that's the sort of toughness 192 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: that Michael for has surrounded himself with in terms of 193 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 4: who's going to be your signal caller, who's going to 194 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 4: be your field general, the team captain that's going to 195 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 4: help weed everybody out there and kind of take control 196 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 4: of that huddle. In terms of respect, the guys have 197 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 4: that for Jacoby Brissett, and he earned that all throughout 198 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 4: the year last year. When you look towards the future 199 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 4: though of what that might mean, you talked about it, Craig, 200 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 4: there's a chance that the Cardinals to could target a 201 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: quarterback when it comes to the draft. I'm putting together 202 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 4: the mock draft tracker what's gonna which is going to 203 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 4: go out on Tuesday, and there's a lot of experts 204 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 4: that are predicting that the Cardinals make a trade to 205 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: try to select Ty Simpson. He's a guy that stood 206 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 4: in the pocket plate through injury. Now he doesn't have 207 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: all the career starts that you kind of would want 208 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 4: from the guy, considering he's only has the fifteen, but 209 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: you at least had a sample size to realize that 210 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 4: the toughness is there, and you have to hope that 211 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 4: it translates over into the NFL, regardless if that is 212 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 4: Ty Simpson as an Arizona Cardinal or somewhere else. 213 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: You just kind of have to hope for the best 214 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 3: for the guy in his future. But time will tell. 215 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 3: There will be who. 216 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 4: Time will tell to see who's going to be the 217 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 4: one that trots the Cardinals out there week one, whenever 218 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 4: that whoever that opponent is against, to see who's going 219 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 4: to be the Cardinals quarterback. 220 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: Another quarterback in that room that I think needs to 221 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: get brought up, and that is the quarterbacks coach Matt 222 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: Shopp who played the position for. 223 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 5: A number of years very successful. 224 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: And Lafloor once again bringing up and he did it 225 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: at the scouting combine as well. But how fortunate they 226 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: are he is to have Matt Schob make that transition 227 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: from player to coach and be someone that I think, 228 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: whether you're Jacoby or Gardner or Keton or if there's 229 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: another one added in the draft or post draft, that 230 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: when you have a position coach that played the position, 231 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot more relatability because they've been 232 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: in the fire, so to speak. They know what's how 233 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: difficult it is, especially in the NFL, how difficult it 234 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: is to be successful. And now you've got someone that 235 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: can kind of teach and then help those guys within 236 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: this offensive system, which we will get into momentarily. But 237 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: the Matt Shob higher on staff, I think is something 238 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: that is really interesting when it comes to Lafore putting 239 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: together his first ever coaching staff. 240 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 4: And Jake Moreland was another coach that has playing experience 241 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 4: in the NFL, and I asked the Cardinals head coach 242 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: Michael Floor about what sort of value do you get 243 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: from kind of having these coaches that have played in 244 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 4: the league. When you look at the Cardinal staff from 245 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 4: John at aganat Eric, you didn't really have as many 246 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 4: guys that actually played in the NFL, So it's a 247 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 4: different approach. And coach belafore said that he believes he 248 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 4: nailed it with the perfect staff. That's at least what 249 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 4: you kind of have to hope for when you're starting 250 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 4: to piece together who you want out there. But I 251 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 4: think in Matt Job's case, it's a very interesting person 252 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 4: to bring into the room. Now, this is going to 253 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 4: be his first time in a role like this, so 254 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 4: I'm interested to see how he leads the room. But 255 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 4: a guy like that, I look at him as trying 256 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 4: to help the quarterbacks with their footwork, with their timing, 257 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 4: you know, potentially looking at different reads. It's the ways 258 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 4: that you might not necessarily go into expecting like the 259 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 4: biggest name out there, he's a backup quarterback. 260 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 3: It's Matt Job. It's somebody that who. 261 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 4: Didn't really have tons of success in the league, but 262 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 4: he had tons of success in his role. And Michael 263 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 4: Ford talked about that a little bit with Matt Ryan 264 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 4: into their time in Atlanta, how crucial and how integral 265 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 4: Shab was to Matt Ryan's development in that MVP season. 266 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting to see what he's able to 267 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: bring out of Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew, two veterans, 268 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 4: and then obviously Keith and Slovas gain to learn the 269 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 4: ropes as well. It's going to be very interesting to 270 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 4: see what he's able to bring out a two decade 271 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 4: long veterans and how he's able to help them potentially 272 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 4: reach that new level. If you do bring a young 273 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 4: quarterback to the mix, let's say it is a Ty 274 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 4: Simpson or Drew Aller, Garret Nussmyrak Carson Beack, any of 275 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 4: those type of players, He's going to be the type 276 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 4: of quarterback that I believe, the type of quarterbacks coach 277 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 4: that I believe could help elevate some of these guys 278 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 4: and make that transition from being that college quarterback to 279 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 4: being the NFL quarterback a bit smoother because he knows 280 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 4: what it's like to potentially be standing on the sidelines 281 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 4: at any moment, you get that tap on the shoulder 282 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 4: and hey, Bud, you're going it is, this is your time. 283 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 4: And I think that's one of the reasons why backup 284 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 4: quarterback is one of the most challenging positions. It's something 285 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: Jacoby Brissette has talked about because at any given moment, 286 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: you might get thrown into the fire. That shop has 287 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 4: tons of experience, and he's in a room and he's 288 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 4: going to be leadier room Bowl players who'll understand that 289 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 4: experience in Gardner, in Jacoby and potentially in the future. 290 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 4: It'll be interesting to see who the Cardinals do end 291 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 4: up adding, if they end up adding anybody. 292 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: Now the question becomes, Zach, what kind of offense is 293 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: the quarterback whomever is going to be what offense are 294 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: they running? And I honestly don't think we've gotten a 295 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: definitive answer. It's been a lot of Hey, the talent 296 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: we have already on the roster, or maybe we need 297 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: to go out and add what do they do well 298 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: and we'll build around that. 299 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 5: So as far as oh, it's going to. 300 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: Be a run first, or we're going to pass first, 301 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: or you're going to see two backs, three tight ends, 302 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't get a sense that there is a predominant 303 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: style that Lafloora wants to run. 304 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 5: He does have success. 305 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: With multiple tight ends, so the carryover you would think 306 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: would happen with the Cardinals. And he did find it 307 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: interesting because the question was asked about skilled position players 308 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: Marvin Michael Trey, and the first name that Lafore brought 309 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: up was Tip Ryman and how he might be able 310 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: to fit within the offensive scheme along the line of scrimmage. 311 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 5: Where does he line up as a y tight end. 312 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: So maybe that was a little bit of a hint 313 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: as far as a possible direction where this offense might go. 314 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: But other than that, I think we're going to have 315 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: to wait and see whether that's OTA's mini camp or 316 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: training camp to really kind of definitive get what this 317 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: offense is going. 318 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 4: To look like under Michael Floor or that first preseason game, 319 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame game. That'll be when you're really 320 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 4: able to tell. But I think you kind of hinted 321 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 4: to there there there's a tell he brought up Tip 322 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 4: Ryman that right there at Tip Bryman also coming. 323 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 3: Off a gruesome leg injury, so. 324 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: To hear that he's looking forward to incorporating and hopefully 325 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 4: that's a tell towards Tip Bryman's recovery. And you obviously 326 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 4: hope that the big guys back out there. But think 327 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 4: about it, Craig, the investments throughout the throughout free agency. 328 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 4: Tyler Algier, a physical, dominant runner that kind of has 329 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 4: a similar style to what James Connor brings to the table. 330 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 4: A guy who does not go down after first contact, 331 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 4: always runs through people, doesn't give up the football. 332 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: You will get Isaac. 333 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: Samalo, who's a mauler in the run game, and you 334 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 4: start to see some of the other investments. You bring 335 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 4: in Elijah Wilkinson, a seventeen game starter at right tackle. 336 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 4: You bring in Matt Pryor from the Philadelphia Eagles who 337 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 4: has tons of experience at right guard. Tons of investments 338 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 4: have been made into that offensive line and into that 339 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 4: running backs room. You also brought back Bam Knight, you 340 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 4: signed him to another one year deal. To me, I 341 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: think that's a good amount of a tell. Now at 342 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 4: the end of the day, though you still have a 343 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 4: three headed monster Mike Wilson, Marvin and Trey McBride, you 344 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 4: will be throwing the football a lot because those guys 345 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 4: need to get those touches. Needs to get their touches 346 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 4: because that's the success to that's the key to success 347 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 4: to winning some football games is making sure that they 348 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 4: get theirs. But the reason why the Cardinals offense struggled 349 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 4: the last year is they didn't have that balance. Now, 350 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 4: with the way that they've been investing, it started to 351 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 4: collect that ballance started to come to. 352 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 3: Be a little bit more. 353 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 5: You brought up. 354 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: New players Saamalo prior, and that was another question asked 355 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: to laflor as far as where he sees the offensive 356 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: line right now. Everything right now is on paper, so 357 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: you're not going to know too much how successful it 358 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: might be. But Lafleur did mention that they've done enough 359 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: so far here in the offseason with free agency bringing 360 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: guys back, whether on offense or defense, that come the draft, 361 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: they don't need, in Laflora's words, to reach. They don't 362 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: need to go out and say we need X player 363 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: or exposition. Now there might be a hierarchy. Yes, right 364 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: tackle certainly seems like a need. Edge rusher seems like 365 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: a need. Quarterback of the future seems like a need. 366 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: But as far as a need Week one and Paul 367 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: and I were talking about this recently on Cardinals Cover two, 368 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: that you can feeld a team right now. 369 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 5: If the Cardinals needed to play someone this weekend. 370 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: They could eleven on offense, eleven on defense, special teams. 371 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 5: They are set now. 372 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: You're always looking to build forward and look into the future, 373 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: but they have done enough to where all right on paper, 374 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: put in pencil. Here's your starting offensive line, here's your 375 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: starting defensive line, linebackers, secondary, Let's go play a ballgame. 376 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 3: Now. 377 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 4: There's about only one other team though, that I would 378 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 4: say is not set ready to play a game. That's 379 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 4: probably the Vegas Raiders because they don't have a quarterback 380 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 4: in the building. 381 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: But I see your point. 382 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 4: I understand your point, and I think that that's kind 383 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 4: of what it's going to come down to. 384 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you could feel the team, but Michael. 385 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 4: Four said, we're trying to find places to add to 386 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 4: every single room, and that's where they're going to be 387 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 4: at right now. Is there confidence in Elijah Wilkinson at 388 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 4: the right tackle position, Sure there is, because I don't 389 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 4: think that many Austin fort would assigned him if they 390 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 4: didn't feel confident in what he's able to bring. But 391 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 4: would you rather have Elijah Wilkinson or Francis Maui Nello? 392 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 4: Would you rather have Xavin Collins and Baron Browning off 393 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 4: the edge or find a way to incorporate a guy 394 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 4: like David Bailey or Rvel Reese who r vel rees 395 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 4: just started actually working with a pass rush specialist that 396 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 4: works with a lot of the top guys B. T. 397 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: Jordan, who's done to work with Walter Oll in the third. 398 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 4: So I think that that's going to be something that 399 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: will be interesting to see how he starts to develop 400 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 4: as this draft process goes along. He's kind of been 401 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 4: riding that roller coaster of he could be going as 402 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 4: high as number two or sliding as well as number nine. 403 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 4: And the Cardinals have been mocked or r he has 404 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 4: been mocked to the Cardinals a handful of time. So 405 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 4: it'll it'll be fascinated to see in what direction they 406 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 4: do go. I do have an anecdote just because you 407 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 4: mentioned Paul and you mentioned the last time you guys 408 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 4: had a podcast, and I know the last time you 409 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 4: guys had a podcast, you were talking about me and 410 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 4: you mentioned the CSI Gershman thing, which I appreciated. We 411 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 4: talked about Isaac Samaoo. What a little fun fact, Craig 412 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 4: of just how much about ball Isaac Samowo is this 413 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 4: guy did not even have a smartphone until twenty twenty one. 414 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 4: He had a flip phone and the only number he 415 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 4: had saved was the Philadelphia Taxi Cab Company two and 416 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 4: five three three three three three through three. It's all 417 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 4: trade threes. But he was so about bald, like that's 418 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 4: all he cared about. He didn't need the distractions. So 419 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 4: it was up until twenty twenty one, and like that's 420 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 4: the type of guy around. Like you start to think about, 421 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 4: how are some of these guys going to mesh in 422 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 4: to the offense, especially that offensive line where you have 423 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 4: to move all was one. All five guys have to 424 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 4: move as one. There's anybody I don't have a doubt 425 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 4: or concern about. It's Isa Samaou because hopefully that story 426 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 4: right there kind of proves he's all about ball, and 427 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 4: I think that the Cardinals might have gotten something really 428 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 4: strong for the future. 429 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 3: He's obviously got a three year deal. 430 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 4: But in Isa Saamau, I think that you always have 431 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 4: the left side of your line, you know, fully locked 432 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 4: down with Paris Johnson Junior and Isaac. 433 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: To get an invite if you will, into that Cardinals 434 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: locker room, one you need to be tough and two 435 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: you need to love ball. Have passion for the game, 436 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: I think already, and we're what three months in, going 437 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: into month four of Michael four as the Cardinals head coach. 438 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 5: But maybe a little bit of a hint here. 439 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: And there as far as what kind of players they 440 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: want in the locker room and on the football field, 441 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: an update because a lot of people want to know 442 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: about James Connor, Trey Benson, Walter Nolan, how they are 443 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: doing here this offseason. 444 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 5: Are they going to be ready weak one. I'll just 445 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 5: say this. 446 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: In the words of Mike lafore quote, they're trending well. 447 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: And that's basically all we got as far as an 448 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: update with respects to their injuries. So when we see 449 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: them on the football field, that's when we will see 450 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: them on the football field. But Laflour wasn't going to 451 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: get into specifics as far as timetable or even when 452 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: it was asked specifically about Walter, what exactly happened to 453 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: the knee. 454 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 5: And they're trending well, so we go by what the 455 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 5: head coach says. Hopefully we see them sooner rather than later. 456 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 4: And I think that looking towards the twenty twenty six season, 457 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 4: that's kind of potentially another tell as to how Michael 458 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 4: Ford is going to handle injuries. I know the fan 459 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 4: base is always very invested and passionate and wants to 460 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 4: know what the actual injury is. But for the sake 461 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 4: of competitive advantage in a lot of different ways, Michael 462 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 4: Ford seems to be pretty height lipped about that. It's 463 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 4: kind of been a theme over the last few years 464 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 4: and in this case, Yeah, we don't really have much 465 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 4: clarity about a lot of these guys and their their direction, 466 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 4: their recovery, their rehab. But I do believe that, you know, 467 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 4: James Connor just posted a clip on social media a 468 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 4: few days ago of him running awesome. You know, that's 469 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 4: the type of stuff that you definitely do want to 470 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 4: see When it comes to the other guys, though, time 471 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 4: will time will tell, Time will tell. But with Walter 472 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 4: Nolan the thirds case, I know, I saw another video 473 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 4: on social media. Somebody came up to him at the 474 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 4: mall and was just asking questions and you know, what 475 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 4: do you do to be successful and all those kind 476 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 4: of mantled the street stuff and what look good moving around. 477 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 4: So obviously I'm not a doctor and I'm not going 478 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 4: to judge somebody through walking on the outside of Fashion Square. 479 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: But he looked good, so it'll be it'll we have 480 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 4: strength and conditioning program will begin on April seventh. Uh, 481 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 4: that's when the programs will begin, and those are voluntary 482 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 4: to start off, and we'll see, you know, ultimately what it. 483 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 3: Ends up looking like with a lot of these guys 484 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 3: in their recovery. 485 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: A couple of Mouther items here from this morning's meet 486 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: and greet with Michael, because I know it's a busy 487 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: Monday here at the Annual League meeting.

Yes, that's a tease. 490 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 5: Can't get any for more any more information than that. 491 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: We mentioned Matt shab and how well Lafleur spoke about him, 492 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: the one player, and I believe it was a question 493 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: you asked a couple of follow ups, but the one 494 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: player that Laflour really did dive into and seemed to 495 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: be excited to talk about. 496 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 5: What's Kendrick Borne. 497 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it has to go 498 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: with their history, going back to their three years they 499 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: spent together in San Francisco the first three years of 500 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: Bourne's NFL career. The floor was his position coach, and 501 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: you could just tell. 502 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 5: One their deep respect. 503 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: For the individual and then the player himself as far 504 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: as what Kendrick had to go through in order to 505 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: become the player that he is entering year ten and 506 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: the potential of a Kendrick Bourne a veteran on what 507 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: he might be able to teach either directly or indirectly 508 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: with the rest of not just the wide receivers, but 509 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: I think everyone on the offensive side. 510 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: And a thirty minute press conference which with about I 511 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 4: would say maybe twenty something questions that were throwing out 512 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: the head coach. He spent five minutes talking about Kendrick Bourne, 513 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 4: which is a lot. You know, it's a lot to 514 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 4: hear a coach break down. And I asked him when 515 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 4: did it click that Kendrick Bourne could could kind of 516 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 4: be that guy and what was it about him? He 517 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 4: obviously talked about his personality, which our Cardinals Cover two 518 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 4: listeners were able to see and hear and hopefully feel 519 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 4: through there wherever they were listening from because that's just 520 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 4: the type of guy that Kendrick Bourne is. But I 521 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 4: asked him about it and he said it goes back 522 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 4: to their time when they were coming out of college 523 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 4: and that Eastern Washington team with Cooper Cup and Kendrick 524 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 4: Bourne in Cooper Cup and he sat down with him 525 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 4: and he said, you know, Michael Ford sat down with 526 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 4: him and said, hey, Coop, out of you guys, who's 527 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 4: the best? 528 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 3: And Cooper Cups said I'm the best. 529 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 4: And then Michael four went over to Kendrick Bourne and said, Kendrick, 530 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 4: between you and Cooper, who's the best? And he goes, oh, 531 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 4: Coop's the man. And I think that that set and 532 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 4: that stood out to coach be four because that said 533 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 4: a lot about his character. It didn't mean that Kendrick 534 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 4: Bord was a confident in himself. The two spent an 535 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 4: hour before every single game sitting down with one another 536 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 4: and working on different game plan stuff and making sure 537 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 4: that they were locked in. That is something that is 538 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 4: very rare. Like Craig, we see some of these coaches 539 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 4: before games. They're pretty locked in, you know, they're focused 540 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 4: on the task at hand. There's obviously a structure when 541 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 4: it comes to these guys going out to the field 542 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 4: and warming up and working out and getting themselves ready 543 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 4: for Sundays. 544 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 3: And the fact that Michaelfore. 545 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 4: Sat down with Kendrick Bourne for an hour before every 546 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 4: single game. I thought was really telling, and I thought 547 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 4: it was actually really important because some guys it depends, especially. 548 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: In this league, it's a business. At the end of 549 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 3: the day. 550 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 4: Players take coaching very differently, and that's something coach before 551 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 4: talked about how that's something he's still learning. Some guys 552 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 4: you need to throw an arm around them. Some guys 553 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 4: you kind of got to kick them in the rear. 554 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 4: Some guys are more of the motivational type. And Kendrick 555 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 4: Bourne's case, he just wanted to be coached hard. And 556 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 4: the two sat down and I think that if other 557 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 4: players start to follow the same formula that Kendrick Bourne did, 558 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 4: they could be the good graces of the head coach. 559 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 4: And I know Kendrick Bourne already liked the fact that 560 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: Michael Ford talked about it because he retweeted my tweet 561 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 4: about it, so Kendrick Bourne is very excited. 562 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 5: I did notice that as well. 563 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: I'll leave it to Zach Gershman to be the social 564 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: media star, if you will, this offseason when it comes 565 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: to the Heros and the Cardinals. 566 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 3: I try the work. 567 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: That Kendrick Though put in from day one, even going 568 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: back before he arrived in the NFL. I think it's 569 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: a great example of the work you put in Monday 570 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: through Saturday shows up on Sunday, and I think more 571 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: times than not. Sometimes for a lot of players in college, 572 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: the talented ones, the uber talented ones, if it becomes 573 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 1: too easy for them, some of that might lack. And 574 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: I think you have to put in the work every 575 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: single day. And how many times have we heard Michael 576 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: Wilson say, extra passes on the drugs machine after practice 577 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: every day day, no questions asked, because you have no 578 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: idea when that that work, whether it's Thursday or Friday 579 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: or Saturday morning, shows up for one particular play and 580 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: a key situation on game day. That's the difference between 581 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: a win and a loss. So again, some players lead 582 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: by example, some will lead by the vocal tones. 583 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 5: I think Kendrick can do both. 584 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: But it's his example by what he has done in 585 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: order to be a ten year VET going into twenty twenty. 586 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 3: Six, and we talk about these guys work ethics. 587 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 4: I think back to last not this past season, but 588 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 4: the year before twenty twenty four, Sean O'Malley came to 589 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 4: visit the Cardinals facility before UFC notch at the sphere 590 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 4: and he was going around and he was meeting all 591 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 4: the different players and it was Barbon Harrison Junior's or 592 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 4: rookie season, and they went into the bubble and they, 593 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 4: you know, Shawn O'Malley, They're trying to do all these 594 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 4: different things, very cool stuff for social media. Kyler was there, 595 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 4: Will Hernandez was there, Train McBride was there, and Marvin 596 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 4: Harrison Junior was there, but he wasn't taking part in 597 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 4: what Sean O'Malley was doing. He was on the field 598 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 4: catching from the drugs machine after practice, totally away from everybody, 599 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 4: and truthfully, if we were not going to shoot this, 600 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 4: none of us would have seen Marvin catching the one 601 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 4: hundred something passes that he did from the drugs machine. 602 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 4: And I remember Sean O'Malley, you know, going up and 603 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 4: introducing himself and Marvin still hadn't the comet on, and 604 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 4: I just shook his hand and was like, hey, I 605 00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 4: know it, and then I went right back to the 606 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 4: drugs miss and Kyler Murray kind of laughed at it 607 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 4: because he was saying, like, look, Marvin's locked in. 608 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 3: And then what happened later that week. 609 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure it was the whole opener against the 610 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 4: Los Angeles Rams, where you went for over one hundred 611 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 4: yards and had the two touchdowns in the first half. 612 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 4: That's the sort of workoutic that a lot of these 613 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 4: players do. That and the Cardinals have started to clear 614 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 4: out the roster a little bit of different players that 615 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 4: they aren't bringing back that might not meet the identity 616 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 4: of what this new team, this new era is supposed 617 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 4: to look like. But with Kendrick Bourne in the building now, 618 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 4: especially in that wide receiver room, with Michael Wilson, with 619 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison Junior, with Simmy Feijoko who they brought back 620 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 4: on a deal as well, you have to assume that 621 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 4: Kendrick Bourn's at least his contagious energy is going to 622 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 4: help uplift the room, and then you have to hope 623 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 4: that the on field production will take another boost as well. 624 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, the energy and urgency is something that lake Fort 625 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: talked about when he talked about Kendrick Born the one 626 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: news item, if you will, for Monday's Q and A 627 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: with Michael four he did confirm joint practices with the 628 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers at some point during the preseason. The 629 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: question is when NFL needs to rubber stamp it. But 630 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: it is going to happen. They just need to cross 631 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: their t's, dot their eyes and make sure everything is 632 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: where it needs to be. But much like Jonathan Gannon, 633 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: Michael Floor likes joint practices because it breaks up training 634 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: camp and you can hit someone else, you can look 635 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: get a look at a different scheme. Even though the 636 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: scheme might be similar to what you run offensively or defensively, 637 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: but it's different players within that scheme that can help 638 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: break up and maybe help you improve going into the 639 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: regular season. 640 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 4: Do we say, much like Jonathan gan it'll be against 641 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 4: Jonathan Cant. 642 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, if that doesn't end up happening. 643 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon, I mean they just couldn't resist. You had 644 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 4: to be at a Cardinal joint practice. But look, it'll 645 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 4: be the storylines will be buddy from there because it'll 646 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 4: also be the little Floors going against each other, and 647 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 4: it'll be it'll be interesting to see, you know, what 648 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 4: the Cardinals have learned at that point of the year. Now, 649 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 4: it depends when they do it, but the Cardinals will 650 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 4: have the Hall of Fame game that will be taking place. 651 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 4: That'll be something that you're obviously going to have that 652 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 4: extra game compared to the other teams. How does that 653 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 4: better suit you to try to take advantage of some 654 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 4: of these joint practices because it likely won't be the 655 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 4: Cardinals first time seeing another opponent, It'll likely be the second, 656 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 4: or the third or the fourth. So it'll the NFL 657 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 4: still has to approve it, but at least it's in 658 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 4: the works to be completed and executed.
