Speaker 4: talking about a Cardinals win for only the second time

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 4: this season. Twenty five I have twenty three Sunday over

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Falcons and walk off fashion Zoe. It's been

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: a long time coming. Six weeks since wins, but eleven

21
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 4: months since seene number one on a football field.

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was exciting. I didn't get to see

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 5: the game live, but obviously keeping up the score, and

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 5: I just got finished watching it back on on my

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 5: iPad in All twenty two, and I was very impressed

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 5: with k one with it being his first game back,

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 5: having a long layoff, and how well he operated. It

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 5: might this might have been the first time where I

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 5: really noticed him, And maybe this is because I just

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 5: had biased eyes where him like working through his progressions.

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 6: And going from one side all the way to the

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 6: other side.

33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 5: And you know, maybe some of that's because de Hop

34
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 5: is not out there now he's surveying the whole field.

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: But was on time, you know, very efficient. You know,

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 5: he had a couple of bad throws, like the interception,

37
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 5: but other than that, I mean the way he ran

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 5: around and I think the tailtale signed even when he

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 5: threw that pick, he went and made the tackle right.

40
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 5: So that just tells you that he's very confident where

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: he's at health wise. And it was just really cool

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 5: to see him out there making plays with his legs

43
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: and extending plays and really gave them which ultimately gave

44
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 5: them an opportunity to win the game at the end.

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 7: There there were two types of players on that sideline.

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 7: Those who knew and those who found out what Kyler

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 7: Murray is all about. You saw some of that in

48
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 7: the sights and sounds, And if you haven't watched it yet,

49
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 7: go to social media. Go to Asycardinals dot com. Definitely

50
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 7: worth your watch. Behind the scenes, all access, look a

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 7: recap of the win, all the video, all the sound.

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 7: You heard Jalen Thompson towards the end after Kyler ripped

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 7: off the thirteen yard officially a thirteen yard run on

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 7: a scramble that covered sixty nine yards according to next

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 7: Gen Stats, and you hear Jalen Thompson yell at Starling Thomas, newcomer,

56
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 7: undrafted rookie. I told you, I told you he's something serious.

57
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 7: And so there are a lot of guys who saw

58
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 7: it in person for the first time down there, and

59
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 7: you realize why franchise quarterback is the most important position

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 7: in all the sports. Don't give me hockey goalie, don't

61
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 7: give me starting pitcher, any of this kind of stuff.

62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 7: It is franchise quarterback. If you don't have one, you

63
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 7: spend your entirety of your existence as an NFL franchise

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 7: seeking one. And you see the difference. You see what

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 7: he does, and he was the rising tide that lifted

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 7: all players on that sideline, and Jonathan Gannon said as

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 7: much afterwards. He admitted, look, it was a jolt of energy.

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 7: It was a jolt of belief, of confidence of knowing

69
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 7: you're going into a game with a franchise quarterback, a

70
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 7: guy who can give you a chance to win despite

71
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 7: the circumstance.

72
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: And again mentioned that that started in practice and maybe

73
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: even started though when Kyler first took the practice field

74
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: some four weeks ago, that all of a sudden is okay,

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: this is week one. How many more weeks does Kyler

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 4: need to get practice and then get game ready? But

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: the expectations, because that was a big talking point, was okay,

78
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: what do we expect after eleven months ten months post surgery?

79
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: And certainly exceeded all expectations that I had. Yeah, for

80
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: a first.

81
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 5: Game, he's efficient. You didn't see any second guessing or like,

82
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 5: oh do I want to do this? You know, even

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: running the football, you know, down the red zone. You

84
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: could see that they had some design runs for him,

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 5: and he doesn't didn't hesitate at all, made a very

86
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 5: quick decisive decisions and I think when a guy's out

87
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: there doing those type of things when you haven't played

88
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 5: football in the amount of time he's missed. First game back,

89
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 5: everybody's at like mid season form, and it doesn't seem

90
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 5: like he's missed any time. Doesn't really miss a beat.

91
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 5: And it's really that k One that we saw, you know,

92
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 5: when they were in that playoff hunt. Maybe a super

93
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 5: Bowl challenger and he's a dark horse. MVP was really exciting.

94
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 5: I mean to watch me, I was like, oh okay,

95
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 5: all right, K One, I like it. Like the demeanor

96
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 5: now for me, now right, you set the foundation. We

97
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 5: all had maybe a lower expectations coming to come off

98
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 5: the off the injury. Now we want to see for

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 5: me And this was even me last week. The progression

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 5: of time as people understand what this offense looks like

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 5: with him at the helm, what does he like to do?

102
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 5: And then as people you know, game four right and

103
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 5: they built his book on him K one and this

104
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 5: new offense, how does he then progress? But I thought

105
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 5: yesterday was an A plus effort. He was very resilient, adapted,

106
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: overcame adversity and ultimately gave his team a chance to

107
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 5: win that football game. What they did with the field goal.

108
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: At the end of the game, two hundred and forty

109
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: nine passing yards, thirty three rushing yards, and a touchdown

110
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: accounted for two hundred and eighty two total yards of

111
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: the Cardinals three point fifty two.

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: The question to k one and he nervous before that game.

113
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 8: Calm cool, you know, collected. As it got closer, wake

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 8: up early, go home, have a lot of time at

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 8: the house before you know, driving to the stadium that

116
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 8: you know, and your chest starts to build up, and like,

117
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 8: I'm trying to calm it down because you know, obviously

118
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 8: we got to play a game. Can't be too amped up.

119
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 8: But it was kind of inevitable. But I thought I

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 8: did a good job of, you know, not really letting

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 8: the emotions and everything get to me throughout this week.

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 8: Obviously it'd been a big week, but at the end

123
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 8: of the day, man just trying to come out here

124
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 8: and get a win.

125
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: Kyler tried to downplay the emotions during the week. Paul

126
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: said he was kind of emotionless. But as you get

127
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: closer to game time and as you heard him right there, yeah,

128
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: some butterflies. Not really knowing what to expect. It's been

129
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: almost a full year before since he has played in

130
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: front of anybody outside of his own teammates. So yeah,

131
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 4: you can understand that, but again didn't show when he

132
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: took the field.

133
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 7: Hey, his sideline reporter was nervous. I mean, I'm like, okay,

134
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 7: wait a minute, you sure you want to try that moves.

135
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 7: You're gonna try that spin move, You're gonna stoke it

136
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 7: in there, and you're gonna run that ball at this

137
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 7: point and you're gonna I mean, I was, I was impressed.

138
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 7: I was surprised. I did not expect to see the

139
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 7: four to three I did. I mean that third and

140
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 7: ten scramble where I was on the sideline, I got lost.

141
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 7: He lost me behind the line of scrimmage, right, just

142
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 7: a massive humanity. When he reappeared, He's thirty yards behind

143
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage. I'm like, oh my gosh, he's

144
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 7: this and then here he comes. It was a lot

145
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 7: like twenty twenty one.

146
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really was.

147
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 6: He got this scooting around.

148
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 5: I think I'm not want to where knee brace was

149
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 5: a big sign, And tell tell how comfortable he was

150
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 5: with it, cause that knee brace does kind of mess

151
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 5: with your gate and how you want to run properly

152
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 5: and actually can maybe even lead to some injuries because

153
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: you got to kind of adapt to it. So even

154
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 5: him making that decision, I think said how confident he

155
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 5: was as far as getting out there running around.

156
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 7: I vividly remember when Tyron Matthew came back and he

157
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 7: had that knee brace sign. For the first month or two,

158
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 7: most of the coaches didn't believe he was back until

159
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 7: he got ridd in the knee brace, because like, you

160
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 7: can't be all the way back until you trust that

161
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 7: knee And as long as you have the knee brace

162
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 7: on as a skill player, we're not buying it. And

163
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 7: it was and it was true. As soon as he

164
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 7: shed that knee brace, he was Tyron Matthew again.

165
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: Right.

166
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a big thing because you can always feel

167
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 5: it's moving around and shifty, like, man, I can't run away,

168
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: I want to. So again, having that confidence in your

169
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 5: body and yourself, I think helped calm his nerves a

170
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: little bit. You're gonna always have nerves when you come

171
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 5: to the game and when you're coming back off an

172
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: injury like that, when you're uberly confident in your preparation.

173
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: What he's done with the training staff and the strength

174
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: coaches and having probably done some of these cuts in practice,

175
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: it just tells you a lot about his confidence level

176
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 5: when the shit that knee brace and get out there

177
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: and you saw it and he didn't have any hesitation,

178
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 5: and when you have hesitation as aultimate when you make

179
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 5: some of those poor decisions, and he didn't see that

180
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 5: at all.

181
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 6: Yesterday.

182
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 7: It was interesting the pregame warm up because he was

183
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 7: one of the first players on the field, just him

184
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 7: and Buddy Morris going through this battery of stretching exercises

185
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 7: that you never seen him do before.

186
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: So okay, real quick, real quick, I don't want to

187
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: cut you off, but Buddy Morris, where I think he's

188
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 5: a gem that's in this building that is probably not

189
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 5: praise enough. And obviously, if you know Buddy, he doesn't

190
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 5: want it. But he is probably one of the top

191
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 5: tier guys I've ever been around as far as strength

192
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: staff and getting guys ready.

193
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 7: And I'm glad you said that because think of everything

194
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 7: Kyler was capable of doing, and not only was it

195
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 7: the grind Kyler put in, but all the expert help

196
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 7: he received right and the plan he was on. So yes, Buddy,

197
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 7: Morris and company deserve a lot of credit for Kyler

198
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 7: looking like Kyler right in his return eleven months to

199
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 7: the day, but his final play of team session before

200
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 7: they went to the locker room, right before kickoff, he

201
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 7: ripped off a fifty yard run. He just took it

202
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 7: and ran it down the Cardinals sideline, just to test it.

203
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 7: And that was interesting. When we saw that, We're like, okay,

204
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 7: all right, and sure enough he looked like Kyler again.

205
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 7: Darren Dervan made a great point. If you take that

206
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 7: film from this game and you go back to twenty

207
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 7: or twenty one, there's no difference. You can't tell if

208
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 7: you take the date off that game film, he looks

209
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 7: like the same player.

210
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: A lot of similarities from plays that we have seen before.

211
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 4: The touchdown run from Kyler Murray on how basically he

212
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: walked into the end zone untouched. The throws, the touch

213
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 4: that he had on some of those deep balls. Now,

214
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: some of the accuracy that can take maybe a little

215
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 4: bit more time with some reps, but other than that,

216
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: Kyler was right there on point.

217
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 6: I wouldn't even say that. I mean maybe two or

218
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 6: three throw maybe.

219
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously the interception and the underthrown one that

220
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 5: McBride came back and got. I mean it's really hard

221
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 5: to find, like, oh okay, that's a little russ. He

222
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 5: was gonna knock that off.

223
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 6: I mean he was.

224
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 5: I was shocked, and maybe because my expectations was more like, okay,

225
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 5: he's coming back from injury. But really impressed the way

226
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 5: he got the bott of his hands progressions and then

227
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: let that thing go and and he'll hit some guys.

228
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: And he had a couple of drop balls in there

229
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 5: as well.

230
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: Oh that's right.

231
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, if Higgins catches that, right, what does that do

232
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 7: for his passer rating?

233
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 3: Some of his yards totals? Right?

234
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 7: I know, Roy jetsting Green was like that first incompletion

235
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 7: his first patsy, he just damped up. That's just adrenaline

236
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 7: right there. His first pass attempt in eleven months. You know,

237
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 7: he skyes the receiver. But otherwise, yeah, I was impressed

238
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 7: by the accuracy as well. We'll get into a little

239
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 7: bit more. I can definitely tell you he was able

240
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 7: to go through his reads and to me, that might

241
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 7: be the biggest takeaway for me for Kyler was what

242
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 7: he looked like in that offense, in the scheme.

243
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 4: And some credit to the offensive line to allow Kyler

244
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: to go from one read to the next. But the

245
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 4: biggest thing that Kyler did was what he did for

246
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: everyone else on that football field. Here's head coach Jonathan Gennon.

247
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 9: He in ject's energy, He and Jack's belief. He injects,

248
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 9: you know, obviously the playmaking and you know, and he's

249
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 9: the ultimate team guy, all to make competitor. The guys

250
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 9: know that, and they rally around that, and then you know,

251
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 9: he goes out there and takes us all the way

252
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 9: down the field to win the Game's that's why he

253
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 9: is who he is.

254
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: Seventy yards on eleven plays to help set up Matt

255
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 4: Prater's twenty three yard walk off field goal twenty five

256
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: twenty three the final and yes, Kyler Murray. The numbers

257
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 4: were outstanding, but the numbers from his teammates A. James

258
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 4: Connor seventy three rushing yards, Trey McBride one hundred and

259
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: thirty one receiving yards. Speaking of the Cardinals tight end postgame,

260
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: McBride talking about what having Kyler Mentz being back on

261
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: the field meant for everyone else.

262
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 10: The energy this week, you know, we had JC back,

263
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 10: we had Kyler back, the energy, the vibe, everything was good.

264
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 10: You know, we were coming in this game with a

265
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 10: lot of confidence. We knew this was a good game

266
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 10: for us. Kyler's coming back. We're playing at home, We're

267
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 10: all juiced up, excited, and we wanted to, you know,

268
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 10: play good for him. You know, he's been out for

269
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 10: a year, he's been grinding, working hard to get back,

270
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 10: and we just wanted to play hard for him. You know,

271
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 10: he deserves it. He's a franchise guy here, so we

272
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 10: wanted to play hard for him, and I think we

273
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 10: did exactly that.

274
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just the offense. The defense.

275
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 4: Though they didn't have a takeaway, they kept coming up

276
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 4: with stops, throwing out turnover on down, special teams, Prayed

277
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 4: are perfect, kicking Greg doors with the punt return. Everyone

278
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 4: kind of fed off the energy that Kyler Murray brought

279
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,359
Speaker 4: on Sunday.

280
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 6: Most definitely, and they needed it.

281
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 5: I think if there was one thing that we could

282
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 5: say was maybe a little bit of a drawback was

283
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 5: the office not getting in the end zone as much.

284
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 6: Right, they had a couple of.

285
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 5: Drive their stall due to penalties, a lack of execution

286
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: that could then turn into obviously fourteen points instead of

287
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 5: six points.

288
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 6: But we were glad that we got.

289
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 5: Prayer on our team that was very accurate yesterday and

290
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: he fishing and then obviously putting the team in special teams.

291
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 5: You know, everybody doesn't care about special teams until they

292
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 5: give you a big play or something bad happens, and

293
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 5: so it was really good to see that yesterday with

294
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 5: the complimentary football of a big time sack backed up,

295
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: kicked the ball to Dorsch and then him finding a

296
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 5: way to make a play, you know, gets pretty much

297
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 5: crushed between two dudes, stays on his feet and then

298
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 5: it's down the sideline to put him in scoring position,

299
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: which I thought was really cool to watch.

300
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 7: Special teams like your bills last night with.

301
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 6: Oh wow, so we bringing up getting personal. I'm recent example.

302
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 7: I'm just citing the most recent example of the importance

303
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 7: of special team kind.

304
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: Of hits close to home over here, Paul, can.

305
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: You count what's going on?

306
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 5: An administration thing? It was not an execution thing. That

307
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 5: was a pre snap penalty.

308
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 6: Get off the field. What are we doing? I don't

309
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 6: even know who that was on.

310
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 7: You knew someone was getting fired this morning. It wasn't

311
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 7: the special teams guys. It was the offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.

312
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 7: How difficult is it to count to twelve? I mean really, yeah,

313

Speaker 2: Hurry back to throw lobs it from your side and

320
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: what a beautiful grand by McBride.

321
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray just flicked a p into a.

322
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: Thimble looking deep, firing far side and it's caught inside

323
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: the forty by Brown down to the thirty. Great throw

324
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: by Kyler Murray. Just drop the dime snapped to Murray

325
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: and he's gonna keep it running left. He's at the

326
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: five pennies into the end zone. Before the touchdown, Kyler

327
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: Murray is packed.

328
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: Come mighty.

329
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray restep drop in trouble, moving to his left

330
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: and he spins away from a defender running to the

331
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: right at the twenty five, at the thirty at the

332
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: forty at the fifty head dies to the forty five

333
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: yard line in Falcon territory, a first down gate of thirteen.

334
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: That's the Kyler Murray we remember.

335
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: Better than five yards of carry, almost eight yards a pass.

336
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 4: A tense Kyler Murray in game one after eleven months off.

337
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: When I say off, meaning off a football field, he

338
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 4: was rehabbing for ten months surgery in January, on a

339
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: football field in November and helping the Cardinals to a

340
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 4: win on Sunday twenty five, twenty three over the Atlanta Falcons.

341
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: As we say welcome back, it is the Cardinals Red

342
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: Sea Report, presented by a seat geek your ticket to

343
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: great Seats, Craigraiol, Lupaul CALVC and Lorenzo Alexander. And yes,

344
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 4: talking more about Kyler Murray, but in the context though

345
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: of what the offense looked like with number one back

346
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: on the football field. Saw some under center, saw some shotgun,

347
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: some play action, and as we discussed earlier, the ability

348
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: to go from your first read to your second to

349
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: your third, having time in.

350
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: The pocket to be able to do all those things.

351
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought it was very efficient and effective, you know,

352
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 5: outside of you know, a couple of miscues here and

353
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 5: a couple of penalties holding calls which someone was like,

354
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, but you know they made the call.

355
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 5: So just cleaning up some of those things. But I

356
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 5: like to play call. I like the development where I can,

357
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: as you see the game unfold, you understand, like why

358
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 5: they are running certain plays, so like the counter trap

359
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: that they were running, and then they come back later

360
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 5: with the quarterback keep after giving it to James Connor

361
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: a couple of times. And so I really like the

362
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: way these offenses evolving, how they're attacking, how they are

363
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: painting this picture so that they have plays that they

364
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 5: can go to the third and fourth quarter to be

365
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 5: easy because they make things look the same but now

366
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: they're different. And then obviously with the young guy stepping

367
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 5: up McBride, you know, in the passing game, Wilson doing

368
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: his thing. I really love these guys catching the ball,

369
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 5: run after the catch, and that's what we want to

370
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: continue to be able to see, you know, these different

371
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 5: guys getting part of the ball. And I love that

372
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 5: Kyler spreading it out in a lot of ways. Hopkins

373
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 5: no longer being here helps him to be able to

374
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 5: do that because I think a lot of times he

375
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 5: looked at him way too often, too much, and now

376
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 5: he's being able to spread the ball to everyone.

377
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 4: To that point, Paul Murray's first twelve pass attempts six

378
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: different receiver targeted, and that's wide receivers, that's tight ends.

379
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 4: In fact, the tight end was targeted thirteen times total

380
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: and the game no targets though to a running back,

381
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 4: and I wonder if that might change as the games progress.

382
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 7: I mean, you knew it right away. Cardinals had more

383
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 7: net yards on their first drive than they did the

384
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 7: entire game at Cleveland, So let that hang in the air.

385
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 7: You saw the difference right away. And it's not just

386
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 7: what Kyler can do for this team. I firmly believe

387
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 7: it's what this scheme can do for Kyler. The only

388
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 7: other time we talked about this at nauseum, but it's

389
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 7: worth citing again. The only time in his career where

390
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 7: he had a top ten rushing attack was the first

391
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 7: half of twenty twenty one when James Connor was having

392
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 7: his Pro Bowl season and the Cardinals went seven to zero,

393
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 7: ten and two. Because they were dynamic as an offense,

394
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 7: they were not predictable, and defenses adjusted that year, Cardinals

395
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 7: never adjusted to the adjustment as an offense, the scheme

396
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 7: or the philosophy, and it was.

397
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: Never the same.

398
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, and so Kyler, I think at this point give

399
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 7: him a complete offense. To your point, great point, not

400
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 7: locked in on one receiver. He's got his running game back.

401
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 7: Kudos in a shout out to the left side of

402
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 7: the offensive line backups Kelvin Beacham and Carter O'Donnell. Those

403
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 7: guys did well, dang well considering Atlanta did not hesitate

404
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 7: to heat him up and bring the blaze.

405
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 5: Rh Yeah, Beacham is not a backup, but yeah, I

406
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 5: get it. I'm just talking.

407
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 6: He played really well. I was gonna give him a

408
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 6: shout out too. Played really well.

409
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 5: Maybe one play where the blitz he kind of got

410
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: confused with two guys, but over the course of the

411
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 5: game did really well. And to your points to the offense,

412
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 5: I really like the way they are moving Kyler out

413
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 5: of the pocket.

414
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 6: It's not just bootlegs. It's more like a waggle.

415
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 5: And just kind of like half rolls where he's getting

416
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 5: out of the pocket but setting up and he still

417
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 5: has both sides of the football available. So a couple

418
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 5: of times in the game they would boot out or

419
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 5: waggle out to one way like a half roll. He

420
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 5: was set up and the defense would over pursue to

421
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: the side that he was rolling out, and he still

422
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 5: had the ability to throw back kind of a cross

423
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 5: field to hit a couple of guys a couple of times.

424
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 5: And so I really like the way they're using him

425
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 5: moving the pocket because obviously he had a couple of

426
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 5: batty balls in there. Sometimes being in the pocket may

427
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 5: hurt him, but moving the pocket at times, so people

428
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 5: can't necessarily say it's always back or drop back, or

429
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 5: it's going to be run. But we gotta do waggle now,

430
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 5: we got to do boot now, we have to do

431
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 5: also drop back. So those are three dimensions of an

432
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 5: offense that creates a little bit of doubt in the

433
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 5: defense that stills allow that allowed Kyler to be effective

434
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: as well.

435
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 4: Kyler was also very comfortable in the pocket with a

436
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 4: number of bodies near his legs and all of a sudden, okay,

437
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 4: what do you do if that pocket collapses or you

438
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 4: feel some pressure. Is your initial instinct to go out

439
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: and run? And Kyler for the most part, stayed in

440
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 4: that pocket was only hit two times sacked twice as well,

441
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: but that happened in the second half. He did a lot.

442
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 4: The ability to move in that pocket is what separates

443
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: Kyler from a lot of different quarterbacks. But he stayed

444
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: in there, even knowing that maybe he would get hit

445
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 4: after the.

446
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: Throw was taken.

447
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 7: And you know what, the big scramble play. What we liked,

448
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 7: and we talked about this with Wolf was the fact

449
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 7: that he actually he actually dove forward as opposed to

450
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 7: slide how many times, and he did it earlier in

451
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 7: the game where he slid, and it was smart of him,

452
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 7: it was the right play, but he end up just

453
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 7: a little bit shy of the first down marker in

454
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 7: this case. And it's funny because I was talking to

455
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 7: some of the coaches just yesterday and they were saying

456
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 7: that they would actually prefer the quarterbacks to dive forward

457
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 7: course other than slide, because the rule give it to him.

458
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 5: Ain't nobody gonna hit him as a defender. I coming up,

459
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 5: I'm about to hit, I'm slowing down, So why wouldn't

460
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 5: you dive?

461
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 7: That's one aspect Number two according to the coaches, agree

462
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 7: or disagree with this. If you're sliding as a quarterback,

463
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 7: your head is where up and it's more prone to

464
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 7: getting hit. And you see quarterbacks at times who do

465
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 7: slide that they can get cleaned up that way right

466
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 7: with a shoulder pad or you know, even worse. And

467
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 7: so if you're diving forward, you're actually taking your head

468
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 7: out of the equation and you're less apt to suffer

469
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 7: a head injury.

470
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 5: Well, your head is still leading your body. So if

471
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 5: I was to come at you head up and I'm

472
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 5: running a head on, you dived to me and I

473
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 5: diven get a concussion. But as a defender the rule,

474
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: this is what they really mean. That's that's like, oh,

475
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 5: let me give you all the smoking mirrors the rules.

476
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 5: As we saw with the barbarian tapping Ridder, pushing him

477
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 5: down and getting a flag.

478
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 6: And now everybody's protected in the NFL.

479
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: It's no longer just the Peyton Mannings and the guys

480
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 5: that are top tier. They want all these quarterbacks to

481
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 5: live a long life in the NFL. And so yeah, dive,

482
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 5: dive because you're gonna shut any big time hitter is

483
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 5: coming in.

484
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 6: Okay, dive.

485
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 5: Why why wouldn't you use a rule to your advantage

486
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 5: because nobody's gonna hit you and if they do, you

487
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 5: may get a penalty.

488
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 6: You just never know. I may hit you too hard?

489
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 6: Are you once kind of sliding? Throw the flag?

490
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 8: That the rule.

491
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 7: We said this for a few years now. If thou

492
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 7: hits the quarterback too hard, thou shalt be flagged on.

493
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 3: That's really the rule.

494
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 11: Man.

495
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 4: Even when you do get credited for a sac sometimes

496
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 4: that penalty will still get thrown out of that pocket

497
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 4: of the official. But you bring up the scramble play

498
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: and officially thirteen yards, although according to next Gen stats,

499
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: Kyler covered almost sixty nine yards on that scramble. The

500
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage was the forty two. Kyler backpedaled all

501
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 4: the way inside the twenty before crossing midfield. Speaking of

502
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: that play, here is k One talking about what he

503
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: was thinking during that play.

504
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 8: Well, I knew I was, you know, I was probably

505
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 8: like twenty yards back or fifteen yards back from the

506
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 8: line of scrimmage, and I knew it was third and ten,

507
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 8: So you know, you do the math. I had to

508
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 8: at that point. If I gotta tell you hit, I

509
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 8: gotta tell you hit. But we gotta win the game,

510
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So that was kind of

511
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 8: mindset obviously when you're running a you know, running like that,

512
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 8: it's everything's kind of blurry, and you know, for me,

513
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 8: it was just, you know, do whatever it's necessary to win.

514
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 4: And that's that signature Kyler Murray play that we've seen

515
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 4: several times and now the first time post surgery, which

516
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: is good to see. Now that final drive, you don't

517
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: get that scramble play, then you don't have happened after that,

518
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 4: and that is the thirty three yard completion to Trey McBride,

519
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 4: which so put McBride over one hundred receiving yards. Yeah,

520
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 4: first Cardinals tight end in thirty four years to hit

521
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 4: that one hundred yard mark. But Trey McBride one of

522
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 4: those players that Kyler uplifted his best game as a

523
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 4: Cardinal player.

524
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he's been effective.

525
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 5: I mean I think he got close when we had

526
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 5: Dobbs at the quarterback position right a couple of weeks ago,

527
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 5: we had like ninety to ninety five. So he's been

528
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 5: an the merging guy I think this year in this offense,

529
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 5: and just want to see that consistency week to week

530
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 5: to week because he I mean, he's matched up against

531
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 5: dbs and linebackers and he's finding ways to get open.

532
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 5: He's being able to sit in zones, beat one on ones,

533
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 5: make plays in tight coverage. Right and if he continues

534
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 5: on this track, I think I've talked to Wolf about

535
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 5: this too. I think one thing I want to see

536
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: from him as he continues to grow is to be

537
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 5: a more I don't want to say willing blocker, but

538
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 5: it may be a little bit more physical blocker, because

539
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 5: I think he throws it in there, but being more

540
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 5: physical and maybe that's not him, but that would be

541
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 5: a great thing to add to himself in his game

542
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 5: because right now, if I was watching the Cardinals play,

543
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 5: outside of him being a really good receiver, I would say, okay,

544
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 5: anytime he's in the game, most of the time runs

545
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 5: are going away from him. And then when he's out

546
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 5: of the game and he put the other two tight

547
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 5: ends in the game, you know, it's more of a

548
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 5: type of mentality. And so I think for him to

549
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 5: continue to grow as a football player and go where

550
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 5: he wants to go, I think being able to be

551
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 5: the point of attack as well as playing the backside,

552
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 5: which he does really well right now, I think it's

553
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 5: just gonna make him better and putting more in that

554
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 5: elk of like a kittles, But right now in the

555
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 5: past game, can't nobody really holding one on one, whether

556
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 5: it's a dB, he'll body you up or a linebacker's

557
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 5: just too athletic. And then he's catching everything and fighting

558
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 5: for the ball. That's seventh route. I think people don't

559
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 5: realize how hard it is. He's running a seven route

560
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 5: away from Kyler towards the sideline. Kyler underthrows it, he

561
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 5: has a dB in front of him, he swims, he

562
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 5: stops his momentum, pushes the dB by somebody else is coming,

563
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 5: and he comes back and catches that football. That's a

564
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 5: really athletic move and a really big time play. So

565
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 5: this dude, I think has a lot of capacity to

566
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 5: really impact this game. It's really gonna be fun to

567
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 5: see how that chemistry continues to grow and how he

568
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 5: continues to really impact the game for Kyler in this

569
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 5: offense from a passing perspective.

570
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of that chemistry between quarterback and tight end,

571
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 4: here is k one on what he's seen out of

572
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: Trey McBride.

573
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 8: Good matchups. You know, I don't think not many safeties

574
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 8: in the league that can probably guard him, and he's

575
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 8: you know, he's getting the rolling, he's getting his confidence up.

576
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 8: He's got all the ability in the world. So I'm

577
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 8: happy to see him do what he's doing.

578
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 4: Targeted nine times, eight catches, one hundred and thirty one

579
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 4: yards and we're not just seeing that tight end coming

580
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 4: across the middle, Paul or sitting in zones. It's the

581
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 4: deep shots with the tight end, and that's a little

582
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: bit unusual, especially within this offense.

583
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: No doubt.

584
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 7: And you know what, I think the best thing that

585
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 7: happened to Trey McBride was zach Ertz going on ir

586
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 7: because now they figured, you know what, he's tight end one.

587
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 7: We're gonna feature a more in the past game. We're

588
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 7: gonna flex him out, We're gonna get him downfield more.

589
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 7: He's certainly gonna get more targets. I haven't seen a

590
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 7: guy's confidence grow this quickly over the course of a season.

591
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: In a long time.

592
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 7: He is having a lot of fun down on the

593
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 7: Cardinals sideline. He's smiling, he's confident, he wants the ball.

594
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 7: There was a sequence where the Cardinals went up Tempa.

595
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 7: I was talking to someone about this yesterday, and the

596
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 7: coaching staff, Kyler and the Cardinals offense went up tempo

597
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 7: and they didn't allow Atlanta to sub and Kyler was

598
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 7: really smart about looking and out. Now he's got all

599
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 7: the time in the world on the play clock to

600
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 7: assess diagnose who do they have in for personnel. And

601
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 7: if you go back to the play by play, they

602
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 7: hit Trey McBride two or three times because McBride, as

603
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 7: Kyler was scanning the defense, was matched up either on

604
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 7: a linebacker or on a safety. He wasn't known for

605
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 7: his coverage skills and that was really smart of Petsen

606
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 7: and Kyler Murray and they took advantage of that Atlanta

607
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 7: defense because everybody now it's all about the matchups and

608
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 7: Trey McBride has been winning his.

609
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's great. I mean, I think that's what football

610
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: is kind of being. You know, everybody has talent, everybody

611
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 5: has a great officer, coordinator, defensive scheme, right, but can

612
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 5: I beat that guy that is in front of me?

613
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 5: And anytime you can find a fish, you know, like

614
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: for me, when I was past rushing.

615
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 6: Who is that guard or tackle that is trash?

616
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 5: Let me line up on him, right, And that's what

617
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 5: you started seeing in the NFL as far as Aaron

618
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 5: Donald no longer just being like a left or interior guy,

619
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 5: or like a JJ Watt being an interior guy. But

620
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 5: they're trying to find the weakest guy, and offenses do

621
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 5: the same thing. Man, where's Lorenzo Alexander. Let me put

622
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 5: my best receiver on him if he's in coverage on

623
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 5: this quarters and let me work him because that's not

624
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 5: his strength, right, And so when you're able to do

625
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 5: that at a high rep and that's very intelligent, great

626
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 5: football IQ, Hey, let's beat it up. Because they're in

627
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: a personnel that we love. We will run the same

628
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 5: play over and over and over because I know my

629
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 5: guy's gonna win this one on one matchup. And if

630
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 5: they've evolved to that, if Kyler's evolved to that level,

631
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 5: and then also have the ability to check out if

632
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 5: they do change or do something that may be a

633
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 5: little bit different from a cover standpoint, the sky is

634
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 5: a limit because I mean k one is is looking

635
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 5: really good and McBride is looking like he can be

636
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 5: that guy as well.

637
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 4: First offensive drive for the Cardinals in the second half,

638
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 4: McBride eleven yards, ten yards, fifteen yards, three catches on

639
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 4: that drive, which which resulted in a Matt Prater field goal.

640
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 4: There was that Elijah Higgins drop on that drive as well,

641
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 4: But to your point, Paul, that was the drive where

642
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 4: you're targeting the tight end against the Falcons defense and

643
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 4: they had no answer on McBride and what he accomplished

644
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: on Sunday. The trust that the quarterback had in the

645
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 4: tight end was big for Trey.

646
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: Felt really good.

647
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,479
Speaker 10: I felt good about this game plan, I felt good

648
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 10: about the matchup I was in, and I felt like

649
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 10: Kelly trusted me, and that's a big thing. I've had

650
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 10: that trust with Kyler. He gave me a couple opportunities

651
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 10: and I'm just thankful that he kept coming back to me.

652
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 10: I was very exciting, and I'm just excited to keep

653
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 10: building on this. This is a special team and I'm

654
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 10: excited to keep going.

655
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 7: So that was from our postgame radio interview, and I

656
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 7: asked him about the big catch at the very end

657
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 7: thirty three yard or He said he went to Kyler

658
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 7: earlier in that drive and said, I've been beating this

659
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 7: guy man all game long. If you see him over me,

660
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 7: please give me a chance throw.

661
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: The ball up.

662
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 7: And that's exactly what Kyler did, and McBride was like, Hey,

663
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 7: at the very least, I'll draw a PI. Well, he

664
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 7: did better than that. He came back to the ball's

665
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 7: a bit underthrown. He made the grab, and he expects

666
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 7: himself to make every single catch. You're absolutely right about

667
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 7: that sideline catch earlier in the game. I mean the

668
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 7: whole sideline reactor there. You can tell when guys are

669
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 7: impressed generally play right. The degree of difficulty on that

670
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 7: catch and what two games ago at home, he had

671
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 7: missed one that there was a high degree of difficulty,

672
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 7: but he thought he should have had it. He came

673
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 7: to the sideline, slammed his helmet, was more upset than

674
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 7: I've ever seen him by far, Like he expects himself

675
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 7: to make every single grab, like he's an elite wide receiver,

676
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 7: even though he's a dual tight end.

677
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray's best play, though, of the day, might have

678
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 4: been what he said postgame and taking the responsibility for

679
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 4: that interception, something that they haven't worked on. He expected

680
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: talking about Kyler expected Trey McBride to sit down in

681
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 4: the middle. McBride just felt like he should just keep running,

682
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: but Murray took the blame. Quote he was right to

683
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 4: keep running that was my fault, and then mentioned that

684
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: I was something that they needed to work on, but

685
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 4: I haven't had a chance to. So that's one of

686
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 4: those mistakes that you look at and say, all right,

687
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 4: you correct it for the following seven games that these

688
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: two teams or these players have this season.

689
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 7: If you're the franchise quarterback and you're the highest paid guy,

690
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 7: you take the blame, whether it's your fault or not.

691
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 7: Kurt Warner did it, Carson Palmer did it. That's the

692
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 7: next step in the evolution of Kyler.

693
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 6: Murray exactly, and that's called growth.

694
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: Yes, it is The Cardinals Red Seat Report presented by

698
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: back at the nine yard line. Jo Jolari having a

699
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: break up game with his second sack, forcing a punt

700
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: backing up his door and she's gonna field it at

701
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: the thirty and he's got a lot of green in

702
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: front of him, straight ahead forty forty five and breaks

703
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: a tackle.

704
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: Still going spinning away from a defender, breaks.

705
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: A tackle your side forty thirty five to thirty, cuts

706
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: it back to the right pet that twenty five and

707
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: tackle that it's twenty one.

708
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: What a great return by Greg Georch and it puts

709
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: the Cardinals in business.

710
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: Late in the third Tune takes the snap, they shove

711
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: him from behind, the first career touchdown for Clayton too.

712
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 4: The sec the punt return, the touchdown run five plays

713
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 4: late in the third quarter. You talk about complimentary football, defense,

714
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 4: special teams and offense contributing on that scoring drive and

715
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 4: contributing to a Cardinals win twenty five to twenty three

716
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 4: on Sunday, as they improve the Cardinals due to two

717
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 4: and eight on the season, as we say, welcome back.

718
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: It is the Cardinals Red seaw Report presented by Seat Geek,

719
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 4: your ticket to great Seats, Craigraia, Lupaul Calvic and Lorenzo Alexander.

720
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: And you touch on that particular sequence of plays though

721
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 4: five plays when everyone has a hand, and you say

722
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: it takes all eleven, Well, sometimes it takes.

723
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: More than eleven. Offense, defense and special teams.

724
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's each phase doing their job when they're

725
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 5: on the field. And I and I it's you know,

726
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 5: you say complimentary football Wolf has kind of scarred me

727
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 5: because when I initially bring this up to him, he

728
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 5: kind of attacked me because he always felt like it

729
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 5: meant I'm only gonna do my job if somebody else's

730
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 5: do their job when you say complimentary, right, But complimentary

731
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 5: football is when you do your job, when everybody does

732
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 5: their job collectively right the off the defense, right, we

733
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 5: saw a Jalai go out there big time, sack back

734
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 5: them up right there and you know, their own territory.

735
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 5: Then they're forced to punt the football.

736
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 6: Then we have guys on.

737
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 5: Special teams, the punt return team doing their job right,

738
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 5: regardless of what happened before. They're doing their job at

739
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 5: a high level, creating space for doors to catch the ball.

740
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 5: Dorsch makes a magnificent play, stays on his feet after

741
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 5: getting kind of crunched between two defenders, great balance, and

742
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 5: then finds its way down the sideline and putting them

743
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 5: pretty much in the red zone right somewhere right in

744
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 5: their red zone green zone area. And then the offense

745
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 5: does their job by finishing that series off by scoring

746
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 5: a touchdown.

747
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: Right.

748
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 5: And that's what happens when you play great complimentary football.

749
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: And if you watch some of the historical teams that

750
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 5: play really good football year in a year out, like

751
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 5: the Steelers or the Ravens or the forty nine ers,

752
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 5: they do this better than anybody consistently because everybody's doing

753
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 5: their job, and collectively, when we do that, you become

754
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 5: greater than some of your parts. And that's why talent

755
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 5: isn't always an issue. Right because you watch the Buffalo

756
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 5: Bills last night, probably a more talented roster, right, oh yeah,

757
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 5: but a lack of execution in every single phase for

758
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 5: the most part. Defense that there's but special teams giving

759
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 5: up big returns, offense, turn the ball over. More talent,

760
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 5: but they can't get a result because they're not playing

761
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 5: complimentary football. Then you come over to the Cardinals, probably

762
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 5: a lesser roster on paper, right, but they're executing which

763
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 5: element face their game and their ability to win games

764
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 5: and put themselves in a position to win at the end,

765
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 5: doing your job, right, I'm wearing his hat one to eleventh,

766
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 5: become greater than in some of your parts, especially when

767
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 5: all three phases are working together. And that's how you

768
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 5: win football games because you make the game easy.

769
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 7: Here's a quick example the Pittsburgh Steelers. This year, have

770
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 7: been outgained offensively, outgained in every single contest. This year

771
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 7: they're six and three. How why it's the first time

772
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 7: in NFL history it's ever happened that a team nine

773
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 7: games into a season has been outgained in every single game,

774
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 7: yet they still have a winning record. So is that

775
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 7: the Mike Tomlin effect? This is just complimentary football. They

776
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 7: have an offense that is struggling in a lot, but

777
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 7: they still find ways to win because not every game,

778
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 7: every unit's going to have their best game. So when

779
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 7: it's different guys, different units at different times, that is

780
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 7: the formula you want, That is the culture you want.

781
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 7: That So any team in any sport ends up going

782
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 7: a long way when you have different dudes in different

783
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 7: ways to win at different times. Takes all three phases.

784
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: And that's what we saw on Sundays, what the head coach,

785
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon saw and talked about postgame.

786
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 9: You know, you look at the game, I think all

787
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 9: three phases. As always, we can clean things up on

788
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 9: all three phases, but all three phases did things, made

789
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 9: enough plays in there to win the game. It was

790
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 9: complimentary football. I thought we did some things situationally that

791
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 9: were extremely smart. Our guys executed those. That's what it

792
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 9: takes to be the playoff caliber team.

793
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 4: And I know a lot of the discussion coming off

794
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 4: of Sundays win is Kyleler Murray, but let's not forget

795
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 4: Zoe about the defense and what they were able to do.

796
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 4: We heard the Ojilari sack. He had two sacks in

797
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 4: the game. He referenced Dennis Gardak with the unnecessary roughness penalty,

798
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 4: but he also had a sack in the game. And

799
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 4: this is a defense now that has gone three straight

800
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 4: games without a takeaway. But they did in that third

801
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 4: quarter not allow a first down. There were three to

802
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 4: three and outs and then a three play field goal drive.

803
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 4: So they are doing enough to allow the offense either

804
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: to get back into the game or take the lead.

805
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 6: Correct, But they do need to get a turn.

806
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I think Marco Wilson or maybe on the

807
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 5: first and second drive ball right right, Yeah, So at

808
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 5: some point you got to capitalize on those just to

809
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 5: give your team and put them in better position. But

810
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 5: nonetheless they didn't get it. But they're still playing great

811
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 5: sound football. I thought the run game, the Fox was

812
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 5: trying to run the ball all day, and up front

813
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 5: the linebacker. Plague was doing an excellent job. I think

814
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 5: Zaya White was doing was doing great. I think he

815
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 5: had like what fourteen.

816
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 7: Tackles twelve tackles, had some ridiculous tackles in space.

817
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 5: Robinson saving Collins did a great job setting the edge. Obviously,

818
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 5: o Ja Larry when he had his opportunities on some

819
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 5: of the play acts and stuff, was able to get

820
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 5: to the quarterback. The second one, it was just an

821
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 5: effort sack, really fighting through a double team and coming

822
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 5: out straining and getting another sack. The Barbarian always plays

823
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 5: with his hair on fire, so he's always going to

824
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 5: be where he needs to be. I think the biggest

825
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 5: thing that I've seen since Buddha and Jalen has come

826
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 5: back is just the stickiness that you see in the

827
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 5: secondary where it's not like these guys it's just running

828
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 5: free every single play that it almost felt like they're

829
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 5: for a little bit where it's just nobody covering anybody.

830
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 5: So I think they've really shored up the back end,

831
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 5: understanding what they're being asked to do and doing it.

832
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 6: At a high level.

833
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 5: And then you have a lot of these young guys

834
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 5: starting to pop up making more plays making more plays

835
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 5: and they're coming along really well, and.

836
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 6: It's it's fun to watch.

837
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 5: It's fun to see when you have all eleven guys

838
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 5: on a string playing together, collectively, executing and being physical.

839
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 5: And that's that's what this gives you opportunity to win

840
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 5: football games because you're holding people the field goals and

841
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 5: not giving up touchdowns.

842
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 4: Kase, they're wide eleven tackles, but Baker ten tackles. Third

843
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 4: on the team in tackles was bj Ojalari, including those

844
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 4: two sacks. On the defense overall against the Falcons.

845
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 11: I feel like we're a very resilient defense. No matter

846
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 11: the circumstance, we're gonna play and we're gonna fight to

847
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 11: the end. And that's just how we're coached. Uh that's

848
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 11: saying with the coaches, they're going to coach all the

849
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 11: way down to the last second, and that's how we played.

850
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 11: That's our philosophy. More violence for the whole game.

851
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 4: And specifically about Ojalari, here's someone who did not have

852
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: much of an offseason because of a knee injury and

853
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 4: was slow played at the start of the season, but

854
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 4: has increased his snap count in recent weeks and has

855
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 4: taken advantage of those reps. With production head coach Jonathan

856
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 4: Gannon on what he has seen out of the rookie

857
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 4: out of LSU.

858
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 9: He's been doing a good job for us. You know,

859
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 9: just like all our rookies. You know, the more snaps

860
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 9: that they get, the more they see things, you know,

861
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 9: the different going against different guys. What we're asking him

862
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 9: to do on a week to week basis BJ two.

863
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 9: You know, he missed all of spring. I thought he

864
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 9: played violent, physical, He rushed pretty well. He's playing the

865
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 9: run pretty good too, So that's what I'm excited about.

866
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 4: So you look at this rookie class, Paris Johnson, Michael Wilson,

867
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 4: big O Jilari, Dante Stills. I mean, guys that are

868
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 4: contributing on both sides of the ball.

869
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 7: Let the rooks cook. It's been every single game, it's

870
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 7: been up and down the draft class. Literally every guy

871
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 7: has had his moment. Undrafted guys like Amri de Mercado

872
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 7: and by the way, I interviewed b Joe July right

873
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 7: after the game again yesterday, those eight tackles, that's as

874
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 7: big as anything, because that was a knock on him

875
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 7: coming out of LSU was run defense. They said he

876
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 7: was a first round pass rusher. Could he hold up

877
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 7: against the run. That's what the coaches have tasked him with,

878
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 7: pad level violence off the edge, being that stout dude

879
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 7: at the point of attack.

880
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, the young boys are always a difference makers, even

881
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 5: on great teams. Right, you know what your superstars are

882
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 5: going to do, But if you got this insertion of

883
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 5: young talent stepping up that you weren't counting on, that

884
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 5: can normally make your average team good and your good

885
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 5: team great. So it's really cool to see that the

886
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 5: draft class is contributing.

887
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 4: Well, let's see what they do next week against the Texans.

888
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 4: This is the Arizona Cardinals radio network.

889
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 6: Straft picks to get DROs Denico on the slamp.

890
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: Nico Italy had soon touchdown Houston Drose.

891
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 6: Damn Field over the medal, and he's got.

892
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: Am Brown upside, fifty throating upside, Lach fifteenth tab five.

893
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,880

Speaker 2: Buston straup quick row right side paw touchdown.

898
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: Gop Chaltz CJ looking throwing to the end zone.

899
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 2: Yes, sow with the rest up said, rock and roll.

900
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 4: My goodness, are you kidding?

901
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 10: That is the defining moment of the Welcome to Houston, CJ.

902
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 6: Stroud, that is the moment right there.

903
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 4: Five touchdowns two weeks ago against the Buccaneers Texans Radio

904
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 4: on the play by play this past Sunday, two touchdowns,

905
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 4: one passing, one rushing.

906
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: Is CJ.

907
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 4: Stroud number two in passing yards, sixth best passer rating,

908
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 4: fifteen total touchdowns, two interceptions, the fewest among qualified quarterbacks

909
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 4: in the league. And the Houston Texans five and four

910
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 4: on the season, coming off a thirty to twenty seven

911
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 4: win at Cincinnati Paul. They have won two in a row,

912
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 4: three of their last four and this is not good

913
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 4: news for the Cardinals, who have the Texans first round

914
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 4: draft pick.

915
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 7: And right now the Texans are a playoff team, Yes,

916
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 7: maybe the seventh seed in the AFC playoffs. So a

917
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 7: lot of credit to c J. Stroud, who's not just

918
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 7: your slam Dunk Rookie of the Year. He's getting a

919
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 7: lot of love for NFL MVP right now when you

920
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 7: consider the Texans have already surpassed their win total from

921
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 7: last year. When you think about the fact that CJ.

922
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 7: Stroud in that game he set rookie single game records

923
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 7: for passing touchdowns in a game passing yards four to seventy.

924
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 7: The last rookie quarterback Craig to lead the NFL in

925
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 7: passing yards per game was Davey O'Brien in nineteen thirty nine,

926
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 7: and the only quarterbacks to lead the NFL in passing

927
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 7: yards per game in the touchdown interception ratio through the

928
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 7: first ten weeks of a season since the merger nineteen seventy.

929
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 7: Peyton Manning did at one time, Tom Brady did at

930
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 7: one time, Patrick Mahomes did at one time, and now

931
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 7: c J.

932
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 3: Stroud.

933
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 7: He is a rookie mind blow in so many different ways.

934
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 4: Second, overall, pick already three games of three hundred and

935
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 4: more passing yards, including each of the past two weeks.

936
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: When you look at the highlights or just look at

937
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 4: the film, Zoe, what stands out for a rookie quarterback

938
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 4: not just to have success, but success at this kind

939
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 4: of level. To Paul's point to where, yeah, now all

940
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 4: of a sudden you're seeing you're reading Stroud's last.

941
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 5: Name in the MVP conversation, right, I mean I think

942
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 5: the biggest thing you know right is understanding how people

943
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 5: are attacking you, getting the ball out of your hands,

944
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 5: protecting the football, being efficient. I think Demico Rimes has

945
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 5: also done a great job right thinking about him coming

946
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 5: over in the defense that he's bringing from the forty

947
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 5: nine ers, that style, that mentality that he has. This

948
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 5: Houston Texans team now believing right, and they're going out

949
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 5: there and making plays. And I'm pretty sure if we

950
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 5: really kind of got into it, I haven't watched a

951
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,959
Speaker 5: ton of Houston Texans film get into it, but seeing

952
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 5: some of their young guys stepping up, people that we

953
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 5: weren't counting on to produce well, that has put the

954
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 5: and c J. Stroud is one of them, right, a

955
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 5: rookie quarterback, how is he going to perform? Because we

956
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 5: look at the Panthers rookie quarterback and it's the complete

957
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 5: opposite feeling right now right, And so those are oftentimes

958
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 5: the unknown, the way these guys are able to transition

959
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 5: quickly to the NFL, and then how they're able to

960
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 5: adapt week to week and still find ways to win

961
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 5: games and put their team in a position which is

962
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 5: really hard to do at the quarterback position. When you

963
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 5: have new defenses, These defensive coordinators are throwing different things.

964
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 5: You have top tier players coming after your week in

965
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 5: and week out, and he's really been resilient in the

966
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 5: way he has played, which is really catapulted this team.

967
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 5: And I think now they're believing. Demica Ryans has them believing,

968
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 5: and so with that confidence has made them a much

969
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 5: tougher team than we probably thought when we look back

970
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 5: at this in April, like, Okay, maybe we can put

971
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 5: a win right there, put a circle there. You can't

972
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 5: circle to Texas as a gimme win anymore now.

973
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 3: You cannot.

974
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 9: C J.

975
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 4: Stroud has been impressive to watch b Joe Jilauri on

976
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 4: the Texans quarterback.

977
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 11: He's a great playmaker. He's doing a great job for

978
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 11: their team, and I think he's doing a great job

979
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 11: running the system and their offense. So I definitely got

980
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 11: to go look into it. What he does best, you

981
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 11: know how he drops what you know, his tennessees and

982
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 11: stuff like that. But so far, he's doing an amazing job.

983
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 4: Cardinals at the Texans on Sunday eleven am is the

984
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 4: kickoff six thirty. Pre game coverage begins here on the

985
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. The other storyline, Paul, is that

986
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 4: Texans defense Will Anderson the third overall pick. That was

987
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 4: the pick that the Cardinals had once upon a time.

988
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 4: So what could have been perhaps on Sunday for the Cardinals.

989
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 7: And he's had a solid rookie season, not what a

990
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 7: lot of people expected. I don't think the Cardinals regret

991
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 7: that at all at this point. They have a franchise

992
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 7: tackle in Paris Johnson Junior. But Houston has a stout

993
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 7: rush defense, not surprising considering Tamiko Ryans as the head

994
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 7: coach and the leader right now for NFL coach at

995
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 7: the year probably.

996
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 3: And their defensive coordinator.

997
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 4: Former Cardinals def defensive line coach Matt Burke is on

998
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 4: that staff as well. Again, that is the matchup on Sunday,

999
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 4: Cardinals and Texans. We'll talk about it in one week's

1000
