Speaker 3: who beat Tampa Bay earlier today on a last second

11

Speaker 3: field goal. A reminder that heavy postgame traffic is expected

12

Speaker 3: due to PIRS NASCAR Championship weekend. The Arizona Cardinals encourage

00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,239

Speaker 3: oh one to avoid traffic on eastbound Interstate ten. And also,

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: I want to let people know that the Cardinals Student

Speaker 3: to Azycardinals dot com slash Student Pass. Okay, well, pick

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: one thing today that stood out to you above the rest.

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 4: Oh boy, David on the spot here No, I think

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: I would have to.

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 5: I would have to start with the young guys defensively

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 5: that are really starting to look like players. I think

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 5: Garrett Williams to begin with Star Thomas, Max Melton, those

25
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 5: three guys right there. You said it earlier in the broadcast, David,

26
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 5: but I think you're spot on. Rarely do I ever

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 5: say that. Yet. At the same time, I think those

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 5: three guys are developing where they look like they could

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 5: be part of this secondary four years to come. Do

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 5: they got to get better? Yes, I think they have

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 5: to continue to get better. But I think there is

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 5: something happening on the defensive side of the ball for

33
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals, a jelly, a maturation, if you will, where,

34
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 5: even though they continue to lose starters, No Jalen Thompson

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 5: here today, even though they continue to lose starters, rabbits

36
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 5: stepped up and played really, really well. I'm I think

37
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 5: there's something happening inside that defensive room.

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: Season low two hundred and seven yards surrendered by the

39
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: Cardinals third straight home game. They don't give up a touchdown.

40
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: Mark Dalton just tweeted out nineteen twenty six the last

41
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: time that happened, so pretty remarkable that the defense is

42
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: playing this well here at State Farm Stadium.

43
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers, the legendary future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers,

44
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 5: just threw for one hundred and fifty one yards in

45
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 5: a game that's they.

46
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: Had to throw the ball, and a lot of those

47
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: came in the last drive meaningless.

48
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 5: I am really shocked when I see that. By the way,

49
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 5: it's sound like he doesn't have receivers to throw the

50
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: ball to. Garrett Wilson, I almost said Williams, and I

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 5: haven't said it. Okay, all right, let's got a Paul.

52
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 4: All right, here we go, yelled a Frohult, Cardinals starting

53
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: center whose name got called more than once out in

54
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: space leading the way. And it's not every game that

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: a center gets called out in the play by play

56
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 4: on radio, But there you were. You were very active.

57
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: The old line obviously paved the way in this one.

58
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: Would you like the most about this victory?

59
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: I just love how I was a team win man.

60
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: You know, I think we got it done in the air,

61
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: we got it done on the ground, and all the

62
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: boys just.

63
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 6: Played super hard.

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: It's just awesome to see, you know, when the running

65
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: backs play super hard, run through arm, tackles, do what

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: they need to do.

67
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 6: The boys are down the field blocking, you know, it.

68
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: Just it raises the level of you know, of enthusiasm,

69
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: and everybody's ready to go for the next play and like, hey,

70
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: let's go score again. Let's go score again, let's go

71
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: score again. So the energy and enthusiasm all across the

72
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: boy was just phenomenal.

73
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: I've heard offensive linemen say their favorite running backs and

74
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: running backs that don't go down in first contact. Is

75
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: that true?

76
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 6: I mean, and we got a couple of them back there.

77
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 7: Man.

78
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: They don't want to get they don't want to get tackled.

79
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: They refuse to get tackled. Man, that's just it. It's

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: just awesome to see. You know, we got Trey Young

81
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: Tray in there and he's bawling out.

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 6: You know, taking up on his shoulders.

83
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: So like, hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna show that I

84
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: can freaking run the ball too, and you tas you

85
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: toss the mari in there and bing bang boom, he

86
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: gets another ten yard run and you know, and then

87
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: we got six just running like his hair is on fire.

88
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: So it's just it's phenomenal having all those boys back there.

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: Three straight games. During this winning streak, the Cardinals offense

90
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: has a mass twenty eight or more points. What is

91
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: the difference now versus maybe the first month of the

92
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: season in this offense.

93
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly what to tell you.

94
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I think every week's a new week, and

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: I think every week we just try to do everything

96
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: we can to get the most out of it. So

97
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: we walked into this week, you know, we got to

98
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: take care of the Jets, and we did so.

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 6: I'm happy with all the boys.

100
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: I think k one balled out, although line took it

101
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: upon ourselves say hey, we gotta keep running the ball

102
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: even though that's a really tough runt. I gotta give

103
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: credits to those guys, like, yeah, we have to success.

104
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: But that front seven is hard, that's really hard to block.

105
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: So I think all our guys were just dialed in

106
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: this week and ready to take on a really hard challenge.

107
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: That just defense is top ten in a lot of categories.

108
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: When they had the blind side free hit on Kyler

109
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: and his helmet popped off, what sort of threshold moment

110
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: was that to finish that drive the way this offense did.

111
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they schemed us up we didn't really

112
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: see it coming, so we went opposite and they got

113
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: a hit on him, and you know, he went right

114
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: back up, just put his handling on. Here was like, hey,

115
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: let's go score again. So you know, it's good to

116
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: see Kyler just screw it. Let's get up there, let's

117
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 2: go score. And I don't care we just lost however

118
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: many yards, we're gonna go converted. We're gonna go score.

119
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: So that was a lot of jews there because that

120
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: could have been easily a turning point.

121
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 6: But everybody was like, hey, it doesn't matter.

122
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: We might be back seven eight yards, but might as

123
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: well just get into some points.

124
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: So what do you have to say about your offensive

125
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: coordinator in the play? Can look looked like the Jets

126
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: were on their heels quite a bit today.

127
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I gotta give it to Drew. Drew

128
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 6: was just on fire today.

129
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: I think he knew exactly what the game plan was

130
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 2: going in and he had a good feel for what

131
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: the Jets wanted to do, and he just you know,

132
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: that's what we do with our offense. We give multiple

133
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 2: looks and run everything out of multiple looks. So I

134
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: think you gotta give the hands off to Drew and

135
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: Drew Petzing and just just call it a great game.

136
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 6: So put us in position to win.

137
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: The boys still gotta, you know, make sure we get

138
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: our blocks done and gotta get all you know, gotta

139
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: do our assignment winner one on ones. But if we're

140
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: in a good position to do so, then it makes

141
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: it a lot easier.

142
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 5: Yoll.

143
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: The four straight wins. How locked in is this team

144
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 4: right now? And where's the team confidence level at right now?

145
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: You know, it's easy to sit here and be like, hey,

146
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: want a four game win streak, we're ahead of it, whatever,

147
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: but we're taking one to take a one week at

148
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: a time.

149
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 6: It's a great win to go up into bye week, gets.

150
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: A lot of enthusiasm, a lot of juice, you know,

151
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: not sitting here with a loss on you in the

152
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: back of your head like, oh no, we gotta come

153
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: back and do our best and whatever.

154
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 6: So I'm happy with what the guys are doing.

155
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: You know, we're taking one week at a time, even

156
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: when we got the early losses in the season, just

157
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: next game mentality. So it's gonna be the same thing

158
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: when we head in there in a couple of weeks.

159
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks we come back and next game mentality.

160
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 4: What are you gonna enjoy the most about your buye?

161
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,040

Speaker 2: just gonna well, there's nicely in Arizona right now, so

163
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: get a lot of sun, chill outside and just hang

Speaker 2: and sir, thank you so much, appreciate you.

166
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: Congrats The Aldafrojo guys back up to you.

167
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: How about Wolf what he said about when Kyler Murray

168
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: lost his helmet?

169
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 5: Right, Okay, that jacked me out. There's no doubt about it.

170
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 5: And you know it jacked me out because honestly, just

171
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 5: watching how Kyler responded to that, Wow, that was really encouraging.

172
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 5: His helmet got knocked off. Where it rolled? David? Am

173
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 5: I exaggerating? It rolled ten yards?

174
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: Oh?

175
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: No, you're not exaggerating. I don't know that I've seen

176
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: on a quarterback sack a helmet go that far?

177
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: Okay? Feel and that kid got up with a smile

178
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 5: on his face and threw a touchdown pass that was

179
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 5: dropping a dime three plays later, and it was a

180
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: huge pass to Marvin Harrison Junior, a huge pendulum swing

181
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 5: in this game. After that kind of hit, I don't know.

182
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 5: It's kind of like of those situations where you're like, Okay,

183
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: what's the worst thing that could happen to me? Well,

184
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 5: you know what, we don't pick up a blind side

185
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 5: blitz and I don't know, we're picked up on the

186
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 5: blind side and I get waylaid a massive hit on

187
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 5: the backs that were my helmet, pops off and rolls

188
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 5: ten yards. Hey, you know what what can I do

189
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 5: after that? Nothing? So why don't we just go out

190
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 5: and play some football? It just his reaction to that

191
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 5: was awesome, and I think it inspired some guys around him.

192
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: And if you listen to Yelda it did.

193
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: Murray ends up with two rushing touchdowns, a passing touchdown,

194
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: just two incompletions, a quarterback rating of one twenty six

195
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: point seven. James Connor a handful of catches for eighty yards,

196
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: Trey McBride four catches for seventy one, Marvin Harrison five

197
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: for fifty four in a touchdown, And how about you

198
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: know how many targets you had on five catches five

199
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: coming in? It was about fifty percent of his targets

200
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: he would have ca So the only players targeted where

201
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: there weren't catches. Was one to Michael Wilson, one to

202
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: Trey McBride, and off the top of my head, I

203
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: can't remember if either of those two were drops. I

204
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: think the McBride one might have been if I recall

205
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: it was close.

206
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 5: Again.

207
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: Would love when you only have two incompletions and you

208
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 3: can't remember them because they were so insignificant.

209
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: That's a good thing, David. When you look at the

210
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 5: last four teams ear Zonad Cardinals have played a game

211
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 5: against and won those games, they have defeated four really

212
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 5: really good defenses. You can say whatever you want about

213
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 5: the New York Jets, but the New York Jets number

214
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 5: ten in points allowed, only giving up twenty point three

215
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 5: points per game, Number ten in points allowed defensive quarterback

216
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 5: rating again, another team that is in the top ten. Okay, Now,

217
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 5: they already went through the Chicago Bears, who were the

218
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 5: number one team and defensive quarterback rating, and then all

219
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,359
Speaker 5: of a sudden they did the same thing going through Miami,

220
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 5: who was number three in defensive quarterback rating. Now they

221
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 5: just played the number seventeen in the national seventh team

222
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 5: in the National Football League. David, with a defensive quarterback

223
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 5: rating of eighty point seven. They are rolling through some

224
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 5: of the best pass defenses in the league, and they've

225
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,359
Speaker 5: won four in a row now against four really good defenses.

226
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 5: It's truly amazing.

227
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: And you look at how they're playing at home. Four

228
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: home wins already this year. They had two all of

229
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: last year. One in twenty twenty two. How about the

230
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: year they went to the playoffs, they only had three

231
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: home wins. Remember, they were unbelievable on the road, they

232
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: just couldn't win at home. They had four home wins

233
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: back in twenty twenty And you've got six games left,

234
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 3: You're six and four, you have the bye week, You're

235
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: at Seattle, at Minnesota, home to home to New England,

236
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: at Carolina at the Rams home to San Francisco. The

237
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: way this is trending depending obviously on what happens against Seattle,

238
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: but and the Seahawks two and how they do so

239
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: not just the Cardinals, but also what Seattle does against

240
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 3: other teams. But those two games, at the end of

241
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: the year, we could be playing for a lot at

242
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 3: that point, and it's nice to be in this position.

243
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: It's felt like a long three years. Some people like, wow,

244
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: the Cardinals are in the playoffs in twenty twenty one.

245
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: It just feels like it's been so long, and I

246
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: think that was anti climactic because of the way they

247
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: finished the year. They struggled down the stretch, got beat

248
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: easily by the Rams in the playoff, and it just

249
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: feels different this year. And it's good to see that

250
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 3: they've got this thing point in the right direction when

251
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: they're starting to get healthy again too.

252
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 5: After the buy. Yeah, it does. I love the fact

253
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 5: you said that right there. It does feel good right now.

254
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 5: You can feel something is being built here, something special.

255
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: You mentioned the home victories. Oh my goodness. The home

256
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 5: victory has been very, very hard to come by for

257
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals here and now all of a sudden,

258
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: they're starting to establish something here at home. And David,

259
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 5: you know, when you talk about seeing a lot of

260
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 5: other fans from other teams that are here, you want

261
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 5: to get the Red Sea in here win games, and

262
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 5: in particular, I would say win games at home. And

263
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 5: if that trend continues right there, not only are the

264
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals going to get into the postseason at some

265
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 5: point in time, but man, it's going to build up

266
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 5: that fan base once again to where it needs to be.

267
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: The defense, well, you know, Dante Stills was a guy

268
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 3: that you know, we called his name so often, we

269
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: didn't really call his name. Today you had Luketta with

270
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: a sack, Savior Thomas had that strip sack, and you

271
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: also had a sack from Buddha Baker. The way Buddha

272
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: Baker is playing right now, it feels like the last

273
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: month in particular, he's taking it to a new level.

274
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: He has And once again, is there a better example

275
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 5: of a football player and how the game of football

276
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 5: should be played than Buddha Baker. I don't think there is.

277
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 5: I've talked about this before. I don't know if I've

278
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 5: seen a better football player than Buddha Baker. There are

279
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 5: others that are as good as Buddha, but I don't

280
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 5: know if I've seen a better player who captures the

281
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: essence of the game than Buddha Baker.

282
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 3: David and it just feels like he's rubbing off on

283
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: the rest of the team. Yes, it's just watching that defense,

284
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 3: it just doesn't seem to matter who's out there, and

285
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: the way the young players in the secondary are playing

286
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 3: as well. Max Melton Star Thomas Garrett Williams's it shows

287
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: you that the Cardinal are developing these guys too. All right,

288
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 3: to coach Gannon standing by.

289
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: With Paul, let's just start with one of the big

290
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 4: game keys to the game that you cited coach before

291
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 4: the game that was red zone. Cardinals went four or

292
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 4: five Jets zero for three. How pivotal was that today

293
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 4: and what was behind that?

294
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 8: Well, it sounds like I'm a profit now, Paul.

295
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 4: No, No, it came to be.

296
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 5: Came to be. Huh Yeah.

297
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 8: I thought the offense was awesome down there, you know,

298
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 8: executed at a high level. I thought the defense, I

299
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 8: thought Nick did a really good job of mixing some

300
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 8: calls when to pressure, when to play zone. I thought

301
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 8: they execute the rushing coverage very well. And those hues

302
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 8: to keep you know, the first two possessions to keep

303
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 8: you know, that from being fourteen it was six, you

304
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 8: know what I mean. So, you know, and then I

305
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 8: think that's just a testament to those guys. When you

306
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 8: get down there, it's probably not going great, you know,

307
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 8: but you have the advantage with the twelfth defender and

308
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 8: you got to keep points off the board.

309
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 6: And that's what we're doing.

310
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: You know Aaron Rodgers as well as anyone. You said it,

311
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: You're not going to trick him. He's seeing everything. So

312
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: what was the coach to try and affect Aaron Rodgers today?

313
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

314
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 8: We did everything. Man threw the We threw the bucket

315
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 8: at him, and I thought they just did a really

316
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 8: good I thought Nick did a good job of keeping

317
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 8: them off balance when picking and choosing his spots. Different looks,

318
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 8: you know, but the players play, man, it's it's give

319
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 8: credit to the players. I thought we rushed well. I

320
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 8: thought the back end was on those guys. They got

321
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 8: two elite receivers that you know, really didn't impact the

322
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 8: game like they have been. When you do that, you know,

323
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 8: and you take away those kind of three guys, you're

324
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 8: gonna have a chance to win. And that's what we did.

325
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: You mentioned you always watch a quarterback when they hit

326
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: their back foot. Is the ball coming out? Is it

327
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 4: color on color? Did that play out today?

328
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: It did? You know?

329
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 8: There's a couple of times where he he spun it

330
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 8: out there pretty quick on a couple of third downs.

331
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 8: But uh, and then I think Nick got to some

332
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 8: other calls and that was good. You know, we when

333
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 8: rushing coverage got there, the rush got to them, and

334
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 8: we're playing coverage. But anytime you want to try to

335
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 8: take the ball out of his hands, I thought we

336
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 8: did a good job with it.

337
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: Think of the receivers in the last three games that

338
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: this secondary has had to go against, right and and

339
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers had a season low one hundred fifty one

340
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 4: yards passing. How much is your cornerback room in particular

341
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 4: developed in a ball.

342
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're gonna have their challenge cutout for him next week.

343
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 8: They got three good ones in Seattle, but they really

344
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 8: have they they're you know, they're taking Smithy's doing an

345
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 8: excellent job pt doing an excellent job with those guys

346
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 8: of the details, really knowing their opponent and then understanding,

347
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 8: you know, the strength and the stress of East coverage,

348
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 8: you know, and those guys continue to improve their games

349
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 8: in practice. I watch them in practice more than the game,

350
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 8: and they they're doing it in practice, man. So it's

351
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 8: good to see because they're making a lot of plays.

352
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 8: That's it's one of a huge it's a huge reason

353
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 8: why we're playing good defense right now.

354
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 4: And what look look at the sack production. Three sacks today,

355
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: nine in the last two games, last three home games,

356
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 4: zero touchdowns allowed. Big picture on the defense, what are

357
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 4: you liking the most there?

358
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, that the scores down. You know, when you keep

359
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 8: the score down and our offense is rolling, we're gonna

360
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 8: be hard to beat. So but we got to reset.

361
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 8: Each week's a new week, you know what I mean.

362
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 8: But I think you know, as I just said that,

363
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 8: Paul doing a pretty good job in the run game,

364
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 8: maximizing our opportunities when it's known pass on second down,

365
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 8: then getting off on third down, and then when we

366
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 8: do get in the red zone, you know, kind of

367
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 8: tightening up there and keeping points off the board.

368
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 5: You're you're gonna win a lot of games doing that.

369
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 4: Let's talk about Kyler seventeen straight completions, a new team record.

370
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 4: How locked in? How dialed in was he to do?

371
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 8: Yeah?

372
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 5: I thought he was.

373
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 8: You know, I haven't seen all the other games, but

374
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 8: if there is a better player on the planet, you

375
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 8: better show me, because I thought he was the best

376
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 8: player on the planet today.

377
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: The blind side sack, yelled afro hole. We just talked

378
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 4: to him. Said that kind of triggered everyone a little bit. Right,

379
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 4: there was a free runner and then think about it

380
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 4: on that on that drive, he was eight of eight

381
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 4: and his reaction after the touchdown fade to Marvin Arson Junior,

382
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 4: you could tell he was fired up.

383
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 8: He should have been fired up, but yeah, I didn't

384
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 8: like to see his helmet fly off ten yards getting

385
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 8: hit in the back of the head like that. But

386
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 8: just shows his competitive stamina that that guy has, Like,

387
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 8: give me the next play, I'll make it work, you

388
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 8: know where behind the sticks at that point there he

389
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 8: got us out of it, made some big time plays

390
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 8: that that was a tough sound past to Marv.

391
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 6: Unbelievable.

392
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 4: You know, we talk about this four game win streak

393
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 4: and how much of it can you attribute to these

394
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: first and second year players improving, evolving like a Trey

395
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 4: Benson for example, right, not going down, not going out

396
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 4: of bound.

397
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean he's you know, the it's really a

398
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 8: testing to money with the acquisition period. What I love

399
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 8: about all those guys that could talk about all of them,

400
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 8: but here's the one consistent with all of them is

401
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 8: their good dudes and their team first. So when you

402
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 8: build the team like that, because we got a lot

403
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 8: of those guys playing, you're gonna be in You're going

404
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 8: to be in the fight. You're going to stay in

405
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 8: the fight with those guys because they believe and they're

406
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 8: going to keep swinging, and honestly, it makes the job fun.

407
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 8: From my seat, what do you think of physicality today? Yeah,

408
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 8: I thought it was on display right from the jump, man.

409
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 8: I thought we overwhelmed them with our motive play, the violence,

410
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 8: the hitting, the effort was there, and uh, you know

411
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 8: that's that's what it was.

412
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 4: Where's the team confidence right now?

413
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 6: With this unit?

414
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 5: I think it's high, you know what I mean?

415
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 8: But they know that that doesn't mean, you know, is

416
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 8: they're gonna get a little bit of a break right now.

417
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 8: I just told them today when I just broke them down,

418
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 8: I said, the season you guys, you know, especially some

419
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 8: of these younger guys really don't know. Season starts right now.

420
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 8: So we're gonna put all our energy and focus in

421
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 8: the Seattle. When we get a little bit of rest here,

422
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 8: put all our energy focus in the Seattle and try

423
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 8: to go win round eleven.

424
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: Coach, enjoy your bye, Thank you guys, you too there

425
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 4: you go to the head coach John In Againner.

426
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 3: All right, we'll continue with the Cardinals locker room show

427
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 3: after Cardinals thirty one to six win over the New

428
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: York Jets. After this and the eroson the Cardinals Radio network,

429
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: Cardinals win thirty one to six to go to six

430
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 3: and four on the season. We already listed the remaining

431
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: schedule for the Cardinals and four of those games, four

432
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: of those six are against division opponents. The Cardinals are

433
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: two to zero in the division already with the win

434
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: here over the Rams and the win at San Francisco.

435
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 3: You got the two games with the Seahawks coming up.

436
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: They have a bye this week. The Rams play tomorrow

437
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: against the Dolphins, the Niners one earlier today. So the

438
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: other thing too, wolf with getting these wins and we're

439
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: sitting here talking about the division, but the more wins

440
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: you get, it helps you in case you don't win

441
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: the division and you need to get in via wild card.

442
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: The Cardinals have put themselves in a position with six

443
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: games remaining to be in that discussion.

444
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, Once again, it's so encouraging to

445
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 5: see what is happening with the Arizona Cardinals. Not only

446
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 5: that they've gone ahead in won four games in a

447
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 5: row right now, that is stacking wins, but also the

448
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 5: fact that they are on top of the NFC West,

449
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 5: and this is November now, the old football saying, the

450
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 5: old axiom coaching axiom that said you win games in

451
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 5: November to make a run in December. And right now

452
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 5: it looks like the Arizona Cardinals are winning games in

453
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 5: November to set themselves up for a run in December.

454
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 5: And I know November is not over, of course, but

455
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 5: going into the by if you would have told me, David,

456
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 5: at the start of the season the Arizona Cardinals were

457
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 5: going to be six and four going into the bye week,

458
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 5: I would have said sold in a heartbeat. And it's

459
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 5: so encouraging to see the team play. It's not just

460
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 5: the what in other words, winning four games in a row.

461
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 5: It's not just how they're doing it. It's just the

462
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 5: personality that is starting to form on this team offensively

463
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 5: and defensively. David, if you tell me we're going to

464
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 5: be a run first team, and we're gonna line up

465
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 5: and we're gonna run the football, and Kyler Murray's going

466
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 5: to use the power of play action to throw the ball,

467
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 5: and we're going to be a defense that can rally

468
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 5: around the fact that, yeah, we might give up some

469
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 5: yards on the open field. We might actually do that

470
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 5: in between the twenties, but once you get in the

471
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 5: inside the twenty that's when we're a different defense. And

472
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 5: they're doing that right now. They came into the game

473
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 5: this game, number eleven in the National Football League in

474
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 5: red zone defense, number eleven. David, Now, all of a sudden,

475
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 5: what they do today? Well, for three, oh for three,

476
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 5: as a matter of fact, that's what the New York

477
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 5: Jets went in the red zone today. That's only going

478
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 5: to improve their standing. They're going to be top ten

479
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 5: after this weekend.

480
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: Okay, just let's look at the big picture here. So

481
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: we mentioned the Cardinals are six and four, the Niners

482
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: five and four, of the Rams four and four, Seattle

483
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 3: four and five, the six wins right now, six and

484
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 3: fourths the same record Atlanta has. Atlanta's winning its division.

485
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 3: You've got Detroit, Minnesota, green Bay. The Cardinals are a

486
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: half game back at green Bay. Green Bay's got one

487
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: fewer loss, but the Cardinals lost that head to head.

488
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: You got Minnesota seven in Detroit to Detroit seven and one.

489
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: So the game against Minnesota is big again.

490
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 5: Big picture.

491
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, In a couple of weeks in the NFC East,

492
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: Washington seven and three, you lose that tiebreaker Philly seven

493
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 3: and two. The Cardinals don't play Philly. So again looking

494
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: at outside the division, and for some reason you don't

495
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: win the NFC West. You lose several of those tiebreakers,

496
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: and you have a big one coming up with the

497
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 3: Vikings on the road to kick off December. It's fun

498
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: Wolf again to be here talking about these scenarios when

499
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 3: it's not Thanksgiving, and to look at the schedule and

500
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: kind of tease what's ahead as hopefully the Cardinals get

501
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: at some point Jonah Williams at right tackle and Darius

502
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: Robinson on the d line. Man, if they could get

503
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: those guys back. You made the point about Kelvin Beacham,

504
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 3: how well he's played, and the Cardinals were so inconsistent

505
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: for a while. They found consistency again in the NFL.

506
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: It's hard to do that over more than three or

507
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: four games, but the Cardinals are at four straight wins.

508
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: Let's go to Paul all right, here we go, Jesse

509
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: Luketta right on cue, a sack and two straight games,

510
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 4: a season low two hundred and seven total yards allowed

511
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 4: by this Cardinals defense.

512
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 7: Where do you start, Hey, it goes back to our

513
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 7: you know how much our motor violence, we're able to

514
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 7: go out there, play for each other and put on

515
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 7: a great showing.

516
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 4: Defensively, I asked JJ about physicality. He said, there's no

517
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 4: doubt Cardinals won that category. What about that enables this

518
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 4: team to execute that sort of motor and balance? And

519
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 4: then what does that do.

520
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 6: To a team? Sess the tone?

521
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 7: We pride ourselves in that we want to make sure

522
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 7: we're able to do that for one another because one,

523
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 7: you know, we're firm believers that you know, energy is infectious,

524
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 7: and you know you play with violence, it's infectious for

525
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 7: the next membside of you. And that's how we kind

526
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 7: of we want to set the tone for all four quarters.

527
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 4: JG likes to use a rotation. Does that allow you

528
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 4: guys to keep that energy up throughout the game.

529
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 6: Absolutely, that's what we want.

530
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 7: If you feel like you need to, you know, take

531
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 7: a top, then we're gonna put some money fresh and

532
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 7: make sure they go out there and keep the standard

533
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 7: and keep it rolling.

534
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 4: I heard it said a lot of teams psyched themselves

535
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 4: out of blitzing Aaron Rodgers because he's seen everything obviously,

536
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 4: but that was not the case today. You guys doaled

537
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 4: it up.

538
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, you know, it doesn't matter who it is.

539
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 7: You know, he's extremely talented player. He's been doing it

540
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 7: for such a long time. But you know he he

541
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 7: belives the same way we believe. Laces shoes, shoes up

542
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 7: the same way we lace up barshego, so we don't

543
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 7: fear nobody.

544
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 4: What was it like to look across the line of

545
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: scrimmage and there's Aaron Rodgers.

546
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 5: Us time to go get him.

547
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 6: That's that's what it was like.

548
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 4: I tell us about your sack because that ended up,

549
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 4: you know, leading to a Cardinals field goal right before

550
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 4: they have to take us through that play.

551
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 7: Kind of just you know, chose to just go power,

552
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 7: stay on my track. Took a little drift at the

553
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 7: top of the rush, you know, just because you know,

554
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 7: Tim spent is such a talented player. Long arms, go go,

555
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 7: got your arm, So I wanted to just make sure

556
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 7: keep bending and keep moving towards the quarterback. Saw him

557
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 7: still there in the cylinder, and I kind of just

558
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 7: dove for the ankle and I was fortunate enough to

559
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 7: you know, grab it and just pull him down.

560
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 4: What do you think you've shown coaches since you got

561
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: your opportunity after the first month.

562
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 5: Of the year. I think just now consistency.

563
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 7: I'm kind of just trending in the right direction one

564
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 7: week at a time and just continue to try and

565
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 7: do my job to the best of my abilities and

566
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 7: go out there and be the best version of myself

567
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 7: and my teammates.

568
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: Speaking of trending in the right direction, Jesse lukettra, I

569
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 4: guess this Cardinals defense is not allowed a touchdown at

570
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 4: home in the last three home games. What's beyond that?

571
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: What do you like the most and what do you

572
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: think is enabled this team as it turned a corner?

573
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: Has this defense turned a corner? I think so.

574
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of people they try to doubt

575
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 7: us at the beginning of the season, you know, regarding

576
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 7: the players that we had, But it doesn't matter. We

577
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 7: know what we have within this room and what we

578
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 7: can do when we play together as one and we play,

579
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 7: you know, in unison's and play compremision football.

580
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, players, no players tell us about Buddha Baker. I mean,

581
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 4: he had another nine tackles, a sacked today, a tackle

582
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 4: for loss.

583
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 7: It's crazy, you know, I tell Buddha he plays like

584
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 7: he's a Mike linebacker making all these plays. But you

585
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 7: know he's a great leader, you know, even better competitor,

586
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 7: one of the best competitors I've been able to be around.

587
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 7: So you know, having three back there, you know, it's

588
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 7: the game changing and I'm just fortunately we got him

589
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 7: on our side.

590
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: Last question is to go into the buy. Where's the

591
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 4: team confidence at right now?

592
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 7: Shurely high, but you know what, it's the NFL. We're

593
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 7: focused on just getting healthy this week and you know,

594
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 7: shifting our focus for the appointing coming next after the

595
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 7: bye weekend. You know that's that when we feel that

596
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 7: Caesar has been about to start and this one start

597
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 7: turning it up.

598
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 4: Okay, enjoy the bye, Jesse, thank you. There you go

599
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 4: with the Canadian Army knife, Jesse, Luketta.

600
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 6: Good stuff.

601
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: Well, the final thoughts before we get out of.

602
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 5: Here, Yeah, you know, just looking forward to what they

603
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 5: can do after the bye right now. But I love this, David,

604
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 5: that they're going into the by with an ex hel

605
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 5: a big ax hel of saying, you know what, we're

606
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 5: on top in the NFC West and they're going to

607
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 5: be on top in the NFC West going forward when

608
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 5: they come back from the bye and More than that,

609
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 5: it's also how they're doing it, the fact that the

610
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 5: defense is starting to gel. There's an identity that is

611
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 5: forming with the Arizona Cardinals. We're gonna bloody your face

612
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 5: by running the ball. Oh and by the way, we're

613
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 5: going to go ahead and let you matriculate the ball

614
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 5: down the field, but we're going to jump you in

615
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 5: the red zone. It's a red zone defense, a bend

616
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 5: but don't break identity. But I love the fact that

617
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 5: the identity is starting to form with his team.

618
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: Cardinals rolled today thirty one to six over the Jets

619
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: to go to six and four. Our executive producer Jim Omahandro,
