Speaker 3: He came flying into the backfield.

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,160

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Here we go one handed catch to a touchdown?

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Oh baby, how's that film? Here's Ganny Surrek, Paul Calvic,

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: and three time pro bowler Kyle Vandenbosch.

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: Free Agency Frenzy is officially upon us alongside Coyle, Vandabash

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 4: and Paul Calvic. I'm Danny Suraq. Lots to talk about

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 4: with the Cardinals and the reports that have come out

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 4: because as of Monday, March eleventh, teams could start speaking

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 4: to outside free agents. However, nothing can be official until Wednesday,

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 4: March thirteenth, one pm Arizona time. So a lot of

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 4: reports to talk about, one official name that The Cardinals

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: did bring back defensive tackle LJ. Collier on a one

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 4: year deal. We will go into more details about that.

23
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: Some names reportedly that are going to be coming to

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 4: the Cardinals. Lots of players on defense, which is good news.

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: Cornerback Sean Murphy, Bunting, defensive tackle Belon Nichols, defensive tackle

26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 4: Justin Jones, linebacker Mac Wilson, offensive lineman Tristan Cologne, linebacker

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: Chris Barnes, punter Blake Gillikan, and very recently reportedly announced

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: running back DJ Dallas staying in the NFC West. Paul

29
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: Gotta imagine that defensive coriner Nick Rollis is very happy.

30
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: You know, if these players pass their physicals and these become.

31
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: Real deals, you know, I'm guessing he went in and

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: he's having the talk with Jonathan Gannon and Manias and

33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: Fort and they said, all right, so last year you

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: had LJ. Collier and Carlos Watkins, who were really good

35
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 3: for one game. So they said, let's go the opposite.

36
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: Let's bring in a guy, oh, I don't know who

37
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: started all seventeen games the last two seasons by the

38
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: name of Justin Jones out of Chicago. Let's bring in

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: another defensive lineman by the name of Blal Nichols, who

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: started all seventeen games once again the last two years

41
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: and hasn't missed a game since twenty nineteen. Everybody now

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: knock on wood. So you bring in a couple of

43
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: really reliable defensive lineman because what didn't you have last

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 3: year consistency, availability, durability along the defensive line. So I'm

45
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: guessing there was a rhyme and or reason to exactly

46
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: the sort of player they brought in.

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: Seems like they're going to be able to get that rotation, Kyle,

48
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: that was part of the vision they just weren't able

49
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: to have last year on the d line because of

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: so many injuries.

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 5: No, you're exactly right, and I think that that was

52
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 5: probably a priority. I mean, you look at this team

53
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 5: the last two years and just the number of injuries.

54
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 5: It was two years ago, it was the offensive line.

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 5: It was a revolving door, a different starting line up

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 5: every week, and then this past year it was the

57
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 5: defensive line. New guys guys with you know had that

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: had been in the building for less than a week.

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 5: That we're getting quality playing time on Sundays, and you

60
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: know what you want particularly as a defensive coordinator. You

61
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: want some stability. You want to know what guys you have,

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 5: which guys are available every week, and to bring in

63
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 5: guys off the street or elevate guys off the practice

64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 5: squad that weren't necessarily getting the reps that don't know

65
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 5: your system. You have to pare down what you're doing.

66
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 5: You have to simplify things just because of the number

67
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 5: of injuries and the number of guys that were that

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 5: were relied upon on that defensive front. So what you

69
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: do is you've brought in stability and and just one

70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 5: other thing. I know we're gonna touch on d line later.

71
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 5: It's it's probably the area of this team that needs

72
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: the biggest upgrade because they finished last in the league

73
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: in rush defense, and you know they also need to

74
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: increase their pass rush. I'm not sure any of these

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 5: moves are gonna, you know, necessarily help in the pass

76
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 5: rush area. But if you cannot stop the run, just

77
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 5: the run rate. Teams ran the ball more against the

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals last year than any other team in any

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 5: other team in the league. So they need to put

80
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 5: an end to that and then you can start to

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 5: build the other areas, upgrade your pass rush and your

82
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 5: covers and all the other things.

83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 4: Right, the game is won and loss at the trenches,

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 4: right where it all starts. We will go into more

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: deeper discussions about these reports and how they help the

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: Cardinals and all those position rooms. I do want to

87
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: get your thoughts on league reports and deals that are

88
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: supposedly coming as of Wednesday, because it has been a

89
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: lot to keep up with. It seems like it's just

90
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: a revolving door for quarterbacks, for running backs, especially Kyle.

91
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: What are one or two moves that have surprised you,

92
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: Whether that's you're shocked that that's where they're landing, or

93
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: it might be a good fit.

94
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of the shell game, right, I mean

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 5: shocked somehow Kirk Cousins continues to get paid, and I

96
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 5: don't know how. Look, he's a good quarterback, but he's

97
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 5: got one playoff win in his career and he continues

98
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 5: to get paid like an elite quarterback. And I really

99
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 5: respect him. I think you know what you've got. I

100
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 5: think you're gonna get consistency. But the contracts he's gotten

101
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 5: are contracts that you give a quarterback that you think

102
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 5: is going to elevate your team and get your team

103
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 5: to the super Bowl or at least a deep playoff run.

104
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: I think the perfect fit came down today, Derrick Henry

105
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 5: to the Ravens. Look, you know they've been a contrarian

106
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 5: offense for a number of years now in a league

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 5: that spreads everybody out, wants you to have to make

108
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 5: you cover every blade of grass. They continue to just

109
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 5: be physical and try to pound it at you. And

110
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 5: there's no back that does it better than Derrick Henry.

111
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 5: I expect him to have a lot of success there

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 5: in Baltimore.

113
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: You know, Kyle spent many years in Tennessee, right, big

114
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: country music guy Luke Colmes, I mean big fan of

115
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: Luke Colmes. You see, he's a Carolina Panthers fan. And

116
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: he tweeted out, what are we doing after they got

117
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: rid of Brian Burns and they only got a second

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: and a fifth and return when reportedly they could have

119
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: traded him last season for a pair of first round picks.

120
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: So he went on and just bashed Carolina. We didn't

121
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: get a first round pick for Christian McCaffrey, we don't

122
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 3: get a first round pick for Brian Burns, So you

123
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: can really see the teams that know what they're doing

124
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: and they have a plan, and some teams who are

125
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: reacting to the moment. If you're the Bears right now,

126
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: what exactly are you doing with Justin Fields? And how

127
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 3: much return are you getting for Justin Fields? If New

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: England traded away Mac Jones and only got a six

129
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: round pick, what is the market value for Justin Fields

130
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: when everybody knows you're taking Caleb Williams.

131
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: Number one, Mac Jones being traded and Atlanta's signing Kirk Cousle,

132
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: which is I'm right there with you, Kyle thirty five

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: years old coming off a season ending achilles injury. The

134
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: fact that Cousins got a four year deal is shocking

135
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 4: to me. My mind started spinning of what does this

136
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 4: mean for the Cardinals with the fourth overall pick in

137
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: the draft? If of these quarterbacks right because trading away

138
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 4: Mac Jones, think, okay, New England, that's set in a quarterback.

139
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 4: We were kind of talking though on Cardinals Underground Paul

140
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: about maybe Lanta wanted to trade up for a quarterback,

141
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: but now they've got Cousins, what does that mean for

142
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: other teams? And also what does that mean for Chicago

143
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: and they're playing with justin fields.

144
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 3: You gotta hope, maybe, just maybe the Giants are thinking

145
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: of coming from six to four. Maybe, but they just

146
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: gave up assets obviously to get Brian Burns. I think

147
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: your eye immediately goes to the middle of the first

148
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: round once again. Minnesota with the eleventh pick overall. They

149
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: just signed Sam Darnold one year, ten million. They need

150
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: a future at quarterback. Denver, what are they doing to

151
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: They really sticking with Jared Stidham. What is Denver doing

152
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: at twelve? I know the Raiders went out and gave

153
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: two years twenty five million of Gardner Minshew, but they

154
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: can get out for far less than that, and that's

155
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 3: really backup money. So are the Raiders thinking of maybe

156
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: coming up to spend all that money on Christian Wilkins?

157
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: Makes you think that the Raiders think they're one player away?

158
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: Do they view themselves as a true contender? So I

159
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: still think if there's a fourth quarter back in play,

160
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: that there are teams so desperate, so needy. Manias SiPort

161
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: does get a phone call Manti.

162
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: Asin for It has made it clear his philosophy when

163
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: it comes to building a roster through the draft and

164
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: free agency. I had a chance to sit down with

165
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: him and talk a little bit more about that at

166
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: this Scott and Combine in Indianapolis, and here's what the

167
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: general manager had to say.

168
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 6: One thing about free agency is I don't think it's

169
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 6: a cure all. You know, I don't think a team

170
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 6: that's the great place to be roster building and forming

171
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 6: the nucleus of a team. I think that has to

172
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 6: happen through the draft. And so free agency is a

173
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 6: great tool. It's a supplemental tool and one that we're

174
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 6: going to investigate every single aspect that we can to

175
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 6: build our team, and then really once we get to

176
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 6: the draft, then that's where the core of our team

177
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 6: is going to be built.

178
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: Kyle. That's what we saw from the draft last year,

179
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: the moves that Austin fort made his first year as

180
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 4: general manager here in Arizona, and with these reports of

181
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: free agents seems to be the same idea.

182
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's checking boxes. These look these aren't

183
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 5: flashy signings. You know, you're not going to get talked

184
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 5: about a lot on NFL Network or ESPN about how

185
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 5: great we did in free agency. But you look at

186
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 5: the history of free agency, particularly recently, teams that spin

187
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: big in free agency. It does not work out when

188
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 5: you're trying to these splashes in And we talked about

189
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 5: this last week, how fortunate we are that we aren't

190
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 5: one of these teams that are searching for a quarterback,

191
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 5: because if you are a quarterback that has had any

192
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 5: level of success in the NFL, you are going to

193
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 5: get overpaid in free agency.

194
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 7: And that's just the nature of free agency.

195
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 5: If you're a player willing to take the risk and

196
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: bet on yourself and play it out all the way

197
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 5: to free agency, you're gonna get overpaid, paid more than

198
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 5: what your production says you should get paid. But yeah,

199
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I love this philosophy. And again with two

200
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 5: D tackles, two strong physical dtackles, you know, reportedly joining

201
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 5: the Cardinals. You know, it's also part of his philosophy.

202
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 5: You build inside out. You don't overpay in free agency.

203
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 5: You try to check boxes. And we had talked about

204
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: this before. You know, you just want to plug in two, three,

205
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 5: potentially hopefully four starters out of free agency, and then

206
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 5: you know exactly what you need in the draft. You've

207
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 5: answered some questions, you've filled some positions, and then you

208
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: can try to really hit home runs with your draft picks.

209
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 5: And lastly, you know, one of the things that I

210
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: am hopeful for based on what I saw last year,

211
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 5: this coaching staff knows how to develop players. That includes

212
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 5: vets and rookies. So these vets that you haven't necessarily

213
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 5: reached their full potential, that haven't necessarily put up huge numbers,

214
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 5: I think that you're going to get the best out

215
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: of them.

216
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 7: Here at the Arizona Cardinals, I.

217
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: Think it's interesting to see what they did not pursue.

218
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: No offensive lineman yet, no wide receivers yet. Why the

219
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: draft is absolutely loaded in both categories. Now Edge rusher Okay, Cardinals,

220
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: everybody now at one sack in the last six games.

221
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: Is when Justin Field stepped out of bounds, what do

222
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: you do. It's hard not to look at what's left

223
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 3: on the market and see Daniil Hunter out there, age

224
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: twenty nine. Yes it would be a splash signing, Yes

225
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: it would be big money, but as he scared off

226
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: a lot of teams. I saw Tom pelliserro NFL Network

227
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: report that he's looking for around twenty five million per year.

228
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: It's not going to happen, not at his age, not

229
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: with his injury history, had a great season last year,

230
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: sixteen and a half. Sacks had a ton of quarterback pressures.

231
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: You know, at eighty retackles off the edge, he would

232
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: be a really nice addition. And the longer he lasts

233
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: on the open market, the more I wonder, maybe, just maybe,

234
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: because where are you going in this draft unless you're

235
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 3: going after Dallas Turner or maybe Jared Versa out of

236
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 3: Florida State. But that's gonna take a top of the

237
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: first half of the first round sort of pick. Are

238
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: the Cardinals gonna go there with that first pick? It

239
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: just makes me wonder. I know it's a wish list,

240
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 3: but you know we can't right now. You can all

241
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: dream until the league year starts tomorrow.

242
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: I still think there are certain positions offensive lineman, wide receiver.

243
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: If the Cardinals do bring a veteran maybe on an

244
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 4: affordable one two year deal, doesn't necessarily tell me, oh,

245
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: they're not going to address that position in the draft.

246
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 4: The Cardinals have eleven picks, They're gonna have plenty of

247
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 4: needs and plenty of draft capital to address those needs

248
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: in the draft.

249
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 5: I think that's what you're gonna see. And with a

250
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 5: lot of the rest of the free agents out there,

251
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 5: they didn't get what they wanted to. There's not a

252
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 5: big bidding warn a lot of these players, and maybe

253
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 5: one year prove it deals where you get a good

254
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 5: player on a one year deal.

255
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 4: Free agency is another check. Getting closer to the regular

262
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 8: It's intercept of the thirty down the sideline to the

Speaker 9: Heineke has it deflected and it looks like it's intercepted.

267
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 9: Sean Murphy Bunting got the hands down there and accepted

268
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 9: by the Bucks. It's Murphy Bunting down the sideline line.

269
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 9: Brush going down the middle and it was intercepted on

270
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 9: a falling dumb look. Sean Murphy Bunting has just picked

271
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 9: off the passive.

272
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers bumbles with all the far side and it

273
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 8: scoops up.

274
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: It's picked up by Murphy Bunting running white till left

275
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: at the thirty.

276
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,199

Speaker 7: Sean Murphy Bunting.

280
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: And boring his hit lost the ball. The Tights had

281
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: picked it up and falling on an inside the twenty

282
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: is Murphy Bunning. He ripped it out. Sean Murphy Bunting

283
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: has made the play.

284
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 4: Nothing can be official until Wednesday one pm Arizona time. However,

285
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 4: reportedly cornerback Sean Murphy Bunting is leaving Tennessee coming out

286
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 4: to Arizona. Welcome back into the Cardinals Red Seat Report

287
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 4: with Kyle Van de Abosch and Paul Calvic. I'm Danny Shreck.

288
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: Paul.

289
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: This one excites you.

290
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: I can tell you know what you needed to fill

291
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 3: the room. Obviously, you get a guy who's been there

292
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: and done that. He has a ring, won a Super Bowl,

293
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: a guy who really is a self made starter in

294
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: the NFL. Saw an interview with him. He was a

295
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: zero star recruit coming out of high school. How does

296
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 3: that happen? Well, he was a three sports star. He

297
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: wasn't full time football, so he didn't go a lot

298
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: of the camps. He didn't get a lot of recognition.

299
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: He was a really good baseball player, etc. Went to

300
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: Central Michigan, ends up being a second round pick, So

301
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: pretty amazing that ascension to elevate his game. And he

302
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: was a big cog and Todd Bowles defense. Anybody around

303
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: here for a long in any length of time, respects

304
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles and the way he runs a defense. So

305
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: I consider that a good fit with Jonathan Gannon.

306
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 7: But in an.

307
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: Ideal world, he's really cornerback two. You get a franchise

308
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: corner perhaps in the draft in round one we'll see

309
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: dot dot Dodd. But he's that sort of guy who

310
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: I think he put his cornerback two in a really

311
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 3: stout defensive backfield, and he's willing to tackle. He's a

312
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: grinder and that fits the JGMO.

313
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 4: Twenty nineteen second round draft pick out of Central Michigan

314
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: to Tampa where he won that ring. Six foot one

315
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: ninety five will be twenty seven in June, Kyle, not

316
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: to throw you under the bus, pall, but to bring

317
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: him in and say, already he's going to be cornerback

318
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: number two. I mean, I don't know that the Cardinals

319
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 4: have that luxury. If he is cornerback one. You would

320
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: think the Cardinals probably feel more confident a veteran like

321
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: this when the rest of their roster is pretty much rookies.

322
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 7: Yeah.

323
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, the big thing is the veteran presence. You

324
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 5: do need some age, you need some experience in that room.

325
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: At times in his career, and particularly as Pauli talked about,

326
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 5: when he played for Todd Bowles, he played more slot

327
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 5: nickel on the inside. He does have some versatility, played

328
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: more on the outside last year, appears to play better

329
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 5: in zone, which the Cardinals defense does a little bit

330
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: more than man coverage. But in points of his career

331
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 5: he did look like potentially maybe a number one corner.

332
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 5: Last year maybe not so much, but he does have

333
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 5: that potential in him. He's got the length, he's got

334
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: the size, and he's willing, you know, and you know

335
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 5: he did struggle with some injuries last year, so you're

336
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: hoping they've done the due diligence. They know that now

337
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 5: he's he's put the injuries behind him, he can't step in,

338
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 5: and you know, in a best case scenario, he is,

339
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 5: You're number one. But the way I see it, you know,

340
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 5: looking at the teams that need cornerbacks, there is many teams,

341
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: well you can never have enough cornerbacks. Particularly there is

342
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 5: you know, of the thirty two teams, there is maybe

343
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 5: twenty real number one cornerbacks in this league. So this

344
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 5: move had to be made. And it's not even you know,

345
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 5: a well regarded cornerback draft for the most part, So

346
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 5: there may be one or two or potentially three really

347
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 5: good corners in this draft, but it's not really deep.

348
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 7: So you needed to add a body. You need to

349
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 7: add experience.

350
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 5: You need to add somebody that does have that veteran

351
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 5: playoff experience. Hopefully he can, you know, with the work

352
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 5: of with Jonathan Gannon Nick rollis this defense and the

353
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 5: coaches you know, develop and push to be that number

354
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 5: one cornerback. But you know, just based on what he

355
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: did last year, I kind of agree with PAULI, he

356
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 5: may slide in at your number two, and hopefully you

357
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 5: can find that number one yet.

358
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be the ideal scenario, the ideal depth chart.

359
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: So four years with Tampa. He showed up in Tennessee

360
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: last year and they asked him why he signed a

361
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: one year proven deal with the Titans, and he said,

362
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: in part because they're going to allow lay outside. So

363
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: to Kyle's point, he played a lot of slot corner

364
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 3: with Tampa. I think he enjoys being the outside corner,

365
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: at least that's what he said previously. And I'm guessing

366
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: that was a big part of the attraction coming to

367
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: the Cardinals because you have your slot corner right now

368
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: in Garrett Williams.

369
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 4: The Cardinals were able to get by with what they

370
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: had and the lack of experience or right having a

371
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: veteran presence could be a big jump. Murphy Bunting in

372
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 4: twenty twenty that Super Bowl year with Tampa had three interceptions.

373
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty three with the Titans, he finished with fifty

374
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 4: seven tackles, three tackles for lost, two interceptions, and eight PBUs.

375
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 4: Let's look at the rest of the cornerbacks room for

376
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 4: the Cardinals pending free agents. Antonio Hamilton, who was your

377
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 4: starter and Bobby Price, And when you're looking at the

378
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 4: rest of the room, who was set here, Key Trell

379
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: Clark starling Thomas Garrett Williams. Key Trell Clark is interesting.

380
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: The Cardinals relied on him as a starter to start

381
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 4: last season, and then as the season went on, ended

382
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: up losing his starting spot because Thomas was practicing in

383
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 4: an end up playing well and that became your starter. Kyle,

384
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 4: what do you think the Cardinals have in Clark going

385
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: into year two?

386
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 5: Well, you know, there was a lot of positives about

387
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 5: him coming out of training camp last year that he

388
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 5: was really competitive, he was a student of the game,

389
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 5: He was well prepared, and I think he showed well,

390
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 5: particularly early last year. But as the season wore on.

391
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 5: You know, I think that's difficult for a lot of rookies.

392
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 5: The NFL is a grind. It becomes difficult each week.

393
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 5: You have a tremendous challenge in front of you. You

394
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 5: don't You never have an easy coverage week. You never

395
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 5: have a guy you line up across from that, Hey,

396
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 5: you know, I don't have to be on my a

397
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 5: game this week because this guy isn't isn't going to

398
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 5: hurt me and I think he learned that last year.

399
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 5: You know, so many of these rookies that were relied

400
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 5: upon last year, some of them were in and out

401
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 5: of the lineup with this team. The coaches move players around,

402
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 5: They relied on different players at different points in the season.

403
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 5: But that experience is extremely valuable and you can expect

404
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 5: a big jump for not only him, but the other

405
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 5: young cornerbacks in the room. And again, I think having

406
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 5: a vet to ask questions on that's been somewhere else,

407
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 5: has been with a couple of other teams that has,

408
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: you know, made runs in the playoffs. I think that's

409
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 5: gonna help some of these younger players. And you've got

410
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 5: to think that, you know, just based on how this

411
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 5: team operates, how Mantia Saft looks for players, that that

412
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: Sean Murphy Bunting is a quality person, a person of character,

413
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 5: and somebody that's going to bring leadership. That's probably the

414
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: biggest box they wanted to check. I mean, obviously you

415
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: do want that number one corner, but if you bring

416
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 5: a vet in, you want somebody that's gonna help leave

417
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 5: these rookies or the second year players or whatever rookies

418
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 5: we sign this year and help them with their maturation process.

419
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 3: There's some big names at a free agency in corner.

420
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 3: You know these Xaviing Howard's of the world, Darius Williams,

421
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 3: J C. Jackson, Tradevius White, you got Stefan Gilmour out there,

422
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: Steven Nelson, Chidobia Zuzi, you know, Kello Witherspoon, Kenny Moore.

423
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: I mean, so as this drags on a little bit,

424
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: and maybe there's a veteran proof corner out on that

425
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: market who's looking for a one year, proved deal, I

426
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: would not be shocked to see yet another free agent

427
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 3: addition to that room. As far as Kee Troll Clark goes,

428
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: you know, he was installed as a starter early with

429
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, and maybe that backfired in some ways. Who knows,

430
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: because his play did regress as you got into the

431
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: regular season. I had a conversation with him at the

432
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 3: end of the year and he said, you know what,

433
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: some rookies take the elevator to the top and some

434
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: take the stairs. In other words, I still plan on

435
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 3: getting to the top, just might take me a little

436
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 3: bit longer. So what do you need as a corner.

437
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 3: You need supreme confidence and Keith Trall Clark still has it.

438
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 3: And he's proven himself before coming off injury at Louisville,

439
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: so I'm real curious to see how he responds in

440
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: year two.

441
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: We know this coaching staff likes youth and players and

442
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 4: Sean Murphy Bunting, who's twenty six right now. Antonio Hamilton

443
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 4: is thirty one. So bringing in Murphy Bunting brings you

444
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 4: a veteran presence while getting a little younger. If the

445
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: Cardinals decided not to re sign Antonio Hamilton, Cardinals owner

446
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: Michael Bidwell was on the Cardinals flagship with Bickley and

447
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: prior to free agency starting, let's hear his thoughts on

448
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 4: how the Cardinals are going to move in free agency.

449
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 10: MANI knows he has the resources to go out there

450
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 10: and get the job done, and so we've talked about

451
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 10: that at length. He's going to be smart about it.

452
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 10: But we know we're close, and we also know that

453
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 10: there have been some changes in the NFC West and

454
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 10: it's time for us to really take advantage of this opportunity.

455
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: Taking advantage of the transition phase. Paul that the Cardinals

456
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 4: have been in and we've heard awesome for it, say

457
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 4: that when it comes to free agency, it's really two part.

458
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 4: It's player evaluation of how they played at where they

459
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 4: were most recently, paired with how would they fit in

460
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: here with the Cardinal's scheme and in the locker room.

461
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 4: So it's player valuation along with the market valuation and

462
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 4: those two coming together. But it seems like when it

463
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: comes to bidwell, awesome for it. Head coach Jonathan Gannon,

464
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 4: everybody's on the same page at how the Cardinals want

465
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: to address free agency.

466
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: You know what, I think they spent much of last

467
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: year try and ascertain what you have exactly, who are

468
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: we what sort of on this roster, and then once

469
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 3: you can identify that, you can go out and seek

470
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: to fill some needs. So I think it's worth noting

471
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 3: that Sean Murphy, Bunny, Justin Jones, Billal Nichols all reportedly

472
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: got three year deals, Mac Davis, the linebacker New England.

473
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: We'll get into that, but a three year deal now

474
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 3: from here is a more one and two year deals

475
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: to fill a couple of holes as you continue to

476
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: go with the draft the next couple of years. Eleven

477
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: picks this year, so there is definitely a plan in place.

478
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 3: Is that marquee pass rusher still out there? Probably doubtful.

479
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: But the longer some of these guys last on the market,

480
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown, I think it's good news for the Cardinals,

481
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 3: at least so far. Knock on Wood, he did not

482
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: get big money right out of the gate. Again, it's

483
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 3: such a loaded drafted receiver that I just don't think

484
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown's gonna break the bank. And does that make

485
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 3: him more apt to rejoin his best friend Kyler Murray.

486
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 4: Especially Hollywoo Brown coming off two years where he was

487
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 4: dealing with injuries. That's an interesting point you bring up

488
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 4: of seeing these deals reportedly being for three years, Kyle.

489
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 4: Last year it was a lot of one or two

490
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 4: year deals the Cardinals were signing a free agency.

491
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again so Paully's point, I think it was

492
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 5: a lot of just figuring out what we had and

493
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 5: who's gonna fit. But yeah, that you know going into

494
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 5: the twenty five seasons, So two seasons from now, there's

495
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 5: only there Before this weekend, there's only going to be

496
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 5: eighteen players under contract, and only three of those were

497
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 5: non rookie deals.

498
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 7: So this team needs some continuity.

499
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 5: Once you identify the players that are gonna fit, once

500
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 5: you find guys that are reliable, dependable, good character guys.

501
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 7: You want them in.

502
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 5: Your building for a number of years because you don't

503
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 5: want to be chasing free agency every year. You want

504
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 5: to be able to not only check the box for

505
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 5: this upcoming season leading into this draft, so you know

506
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 5: what you getting targeted in the draft, you want to

507
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 5: check boxes for a number of years. And I think

508
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 5: that's the big difference is now you know mantiasa fort.

509
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 5: He understands what we have on this roster. He understands

510
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 5: what we need on this roster. And one of the

511
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 5: biggest things we need, and we talk about this along

512
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 5: with injuries, but you need continuity. You need guys you

513
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 5: can depend on, guys that are reliable and guys that

514
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 5: can stay on the field. And that's exactly what we

515
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 5: got with these four outside potential signings. Are I guess

516
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 5: there's five now.

517
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 4: Kyle, you were talking about this might not be the

518
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 4: most deep cornerbacks draft class. How does this rebarded signing

519
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 4: will soon to be signing of Sean Murphy Bunting affect

520
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: the way the Cardinals might prioritize a cornerback in the draft.

521
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 4: Does it significantly drop that priority?

522
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 5: I don't think so. I think a cornerback is always

523
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 5: a priority. But you look at what this draft is.

524
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 5: It's probably the most talented wide receiver draft that we've

525
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 5: seen in the number of years. It's probably the most

526
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: talented offensive tackle draft we've seen in a number of years.

527
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 7: And you always.

528
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 5: Want to draft best player available if possible. So what

529
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 5: this did is it check boxes on the defensive side

530
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 5: of the ball. I understand a lot of the talk

531
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 5: is we go best receiver at number four, we go

532
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 5: best offensive tackle with our second pick in the first round.

533
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 5: But to me, I just felt like that's not quite

534
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 5: right because all of our holes are on defense, So

535
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 5: why do we keep adding to the offense. Now we

536
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 5: filled some of these holes at least with guys that

537
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 5: we can depend on on the defensive side of the ball.

538
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 7: It gives us the ability to two pick the.

539
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 5: Best player available and not have tremendous holes on the

540
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: defensive side of the ball, and we can address whatever

541
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 5: is left at talent and hopefully check more boxes later

542
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 5: in the drafts with defensive players.

543
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: Are you going cornerback at number four? No, But if

544
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: you trade down with someone, I could see corner a

545
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 3: Terry on Arnold, A Quinnan Mitchell middle of the first round.

546
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 3: As you get later in the first round, number twenty seven,

547
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 3: even top a round two with thirty fifth pick. Overall,

548
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 3: there's Nate Wiggins who ran a sub four to three

549
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 3: out of Clemson East, Tall Cooper de Gene out of Iowa,

550
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: and it's Rakestraw, your guy out of missou kool Aid

551
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 3: mckinstrey started opposite Terryan Arnold. I think there's six legit

552
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: starting corners day one in this draft, and I would

553
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: not be shocked if the Cardinals got one of those

554
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: guys with one of the first three picks.

555
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 4: I know the Texans rather didn't do the Cardinals any

556
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: favors by having that pick B twenty seven. That still

557
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 4: gives opportunity for the Cardinals for that other first round

558
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 4: pick or to maybe move on up. Reminder to join

Speaker 4: the Cardinals season ticket priority list Azycardinals dot Com slash

560
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 4: priority list. Today looking ahead, we're talking about the defensive line.

561
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 4: Stay with us.

562
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 3: Look at this cars on the ground picked up by

563
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: the Raiders.

564
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: They have a touchdowns with Nichols.

565
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 7: The Raiders pick it up and rumble in the end zone.

566
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 10: Blal Nichols just grabbed it from right on the turf.

567
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: Snap back to pass pressure.

568
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: Again off the edge.

569
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 9: Patter sucks for the safety Nichols.

570
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 2: In zone school sit of the turf. Have the Raiders defense.

571
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 4: Have that safety's blond Nichols along with defensive lineman Justin Jones,

572
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 4: both reportedly coming to the Arizona Cardinals. Welcome back into

573
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 4: the Red Cardinals Red Sea report with Paul Calvic and

574
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 4: Kyle Van Derbash. I'm Danny Surak. Cardinals struggled with the

575
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 4: defensive line staying healthy, stopping the run, worst run defense

576
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 4: in the league. The big move, first big move that's

577
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 4: official though. The Cardinals re signed their own defensive lineman LJ.

578
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 4: Collier six two two ninety one, who's not going to

579
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 4: be twenty nine until September. He had a good offseason,

580
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 4: good training camp, and a good first game of the

581
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: season Paul. He started in Washington, he had three tackles.

582
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 4: Then he suffered a season ending biceps injury and his

583
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 4: year was done.

584
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: He was one of the The first memorable moment from LJ.

585
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: Collier was about a week into camp and he got

586
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: tossed for fighting for a little skirmish right, a little

587
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: kerfuffle after the play and Jonathan Gannon lived up to

588
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: what he told the meeting and he told the team

589
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: zero tolerance, get off the field. You know, that was

590
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 3: a good sign. He was feisty and he performed in

591
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: the preseason. We called his name a lot, and he

592
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 3: was good in Week one and then he had the

593
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: biceps injury and he was done. But I'll tell you what,

594
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 3: based on how the Seahawks have been flailing around, and

595
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: I mean, they lose Jordan Brooks and everyone thinks they're

596
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: getting Patrick Queen, and now Patrick Queen goes and signs

597
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 3: with the Steelers reportedly, So what exactly the Seahawks doing.

598
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: He was a first round pick in Seattle and he

599
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: joined us on an edition of The Big Red Rage

600
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: and Elgae Collier said, just wasn't a good fit up

601
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 3: there for multiple reasons, including me in their scheme. And

602
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 3: I think the Cardinals identified his skill set, and man,

603
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 3: I would have loved everyone would have loved to have

604
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: seen him over the entirety of last season because it

605
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: started so well.

606
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 4: Cardinals clearly liked enough of what they saw from Collier

607
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 4: through last offseason and that first game to bring him back.

608
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 7: Kyle.

609
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and obviously you know his potential. Being a former

610
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 5: first round pick, you know that he has that potential

611
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 5: in the right system. And you know, looking back in

612
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 5: my career, it was the same. I could just never

613
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 5: get going injury wise, scheme wise, here and then went

614
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 5: somewhere else, got a fresh start, And that's the way

615
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 5: it appeared for him. He was happy being here, had

616
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 5: a good training camp, coaches were excited about him, and

617
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: then the rug got pulled out with the biceps injury.

618
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 7: So let's hope that.

619
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're going to have an injury, he

620
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 5: would be one hundred percent after a biceps injury. It's

621
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 5: not an ankle, it's not a knee, it's not an acl.

622
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 5: It's not going to take him time to return to form.

623
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 5: He should be good to go and be full speed

624
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 5: once training camp hits. And again it's a play that

625
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: feels like he has something to prove, has an opportunity to,

626
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: you know, make himself more money down the road if

627
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 5: he can go out there and have a good season

628
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: next year. And those are exactly the players you want

629
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 5: in your locker room and on your team.

630
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: You know what, it's a beach muscle, right your biceps,

631
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: so boom, he spent all last season in the squad

632
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: rack and the leg press, and he's gonna come back

633
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: and he's gonna have tree trunks and just wait, I'm

634
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 3: just digging to see what his explosion is gonna be

635
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: like off the ball once you get into training camp.

636
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: Come on, Kyle, no excuse not to work the legs.

637
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 7: What do you know about biceps fault?

638
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paul does like that, right, that's right.

639
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: You know, hey, I've been getting in the squad trying

640
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: to win the offseason, getting in the squad rack. Of course,

641
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: the players tell me to go into the child care area.

642
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 7: That's cool. That's cool.

643
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 4: Looking into that Cardinals defensive lineman room pending free agents

644
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 4: Lucky fo two has reportedly going to find himself in

645
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: New York with the Jets and Carlos Watkins, who shortly

646
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 4: after LJ. Collier had his own season ending biceps injury.

647
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 4: There anything to at Paul that the Cardinals re signed LJ.

648
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 4: Collier and we haven't heard anything on Carlos Watkins.

649
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: It's a great question. What is Carlos Watkins looking for exactly?

650
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: We know he got buried on the depth shot in Dallas.

651
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: He was really looking forward to busting out having a

652
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 3: breakout season with the Cardinals. He went down after one

653
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: game as well, so what does that mean. I'm not

654
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: exactly sure what his future might be, but the fact

655
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 3: they went out and they got two other defensive linemen

656
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: who are plug and play, really durable, reliable guys. Okay,

657
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: as there's still room at some point to retain a

658
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: Carlos Watkins Lecky Foto. Obviously he left town based on

659
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: the reports, and he signed with the Jets, So we'll see.

660
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: This draft isn't considered the deepest at defensive line, so

661
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 3: I do think there will be some more free agent additions.

662
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 3: You just need numbers at this point, especially based on

663
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 3: last year. But there were a couple of guys who

664
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: performed throughout the entire day last season. Dante Still's a

665
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: six round rookie, really good rookie season. And Roy Lopez,

666
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: I mean, we called his name a lot. The local

667
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: guy came back, You of a guy spent some time

668
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: in Houston, also said he wasn't a great fit in

669
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: that system, and you really seemed to shine at different

670
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: times with the Cardinals.

671
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 4: Nay Kwon Jones as well Kyle. By the end of

672
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 4: the season, the starting defensive line was composed of players

673
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: who were not even starting or really getting any rotation

674
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 4: if they were here on the roster in Week one.

675
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: That's pretty telling.

676
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 7: It is absolutely.

677
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 5: And look when you one of the things you do

678
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 5: personnel wise in the offseason where you're looking to add

679
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 5: players and looking to improve things, obviously the run defense

680
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 5: has to improve. That has to be job number one

681
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 5: for this defense. You look around our division and probably

682
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 5: our biggest issue last year was Kyron Williams. Game one,

683
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 5: he had twenty carries for one fifty eight. Game two

684
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 5: he had sixteen carries for one to forty three. And

685
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 5: what did the Rams do? They bolstered the interior of

686
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 5: their offensive line. We need size, We need guys on

687
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 5: the interior defensive line that could contend with that. We

688
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 5: all know what the Niners can do in the run game.

689
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 5: We all know that Seattle likes to run the ball.

690
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 5: I guess we don't know, you know, with their new

691
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 5: coaching staff how they're going to approach it. But you know,

692
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 5: the biggest thing with your offseason moves is you've got

693
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 5: to make moves to win your division, to compete, have

694
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 5: an opportunity to win your division games. So you're sitting

695
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 5: in the right spot at the end of the season,

696
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 5: and you cannot win games when you're giving up artists

697
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 5: like that to a young running back like we did

698
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 5: against the Rams, and with what they're doing their offensive line.

699
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 5: So I really love these moves, you know, and we

700
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 5: know how Nick Rolis uses his defensive lineman. He likes

701
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 5: to rotate him and he likes them to be versatile.

702
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 5: And both of these potential signings reported signings, they've played

703
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 5: both defensive end positions. They've played nose tackle, so you

704
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 5: can put them in any spot and if there are injuries,

705
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 5: hopefully we can dodge the injury bug this year. Really

706
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 5: on the entire roster, but particularly on the defensive line.

707
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 5: You can move them around in phill holes. And because

708
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 5: they are so versatile and have played every position across

709
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 5: the front.

710
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 4: When you're talking about the rotation. There was a name

711
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 4: that Cardinals fans online were interested in as a pending

712
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 4: free agent defensive tackle, Christian Wilkins, who ended up in Vegas,

713
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 4: and the reports are saying he got a massive deal.

714
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it makes sense the moves, the difference, and

715
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: the moves the Cardinals are making because they want to

716
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 4: have that rotation. And if you're going to bring a

717
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 4: guy and pay him what the reports are saying that

718
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 4: Wilkins is getting, I don't know that that's the right

719
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 4: fit for what the Cardinals would want financially, with what

720
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 4: you want to do on the field.

721
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 5: Now, he would have to play every single play if

722
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 5: you're paying that much money, and with what his per

723
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 5: year money is, we were able to fill potentially four

724
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 5: holes on the defense with about the same amount of money.

725
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 5: You know, and you know we've talked about this before.

726
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 5: The Cardinals are hopefully on the back end of a rebuild.

727
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 7: We are close.

728
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 5: We're potentially a playoff team this year, but we are

729
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 5: not one dominant defensive tackle away from being that playoff

730
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 5: team away from winning our division. We need to plug

731
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 5: a number of holes, and that's what we were able

732
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 5: to do with the money. I think the investments are wise.

733
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 5: I think that these are going to be good players,

734
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 5: players that we can depend upon and rely upon on

735
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 5: this defense.

736
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Christian Wilkins reportedly four years, one hundred ten million,

737
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: eighty five million guaranteed from the Raiders. Okay, Yeah, that's

738
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 3: that's at the upper echelon. Obviously, the pace skill right

739
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 3: at the position. As for the Cardinals, totally agree with Kyle.

740
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 3: If there was one offseason initiative, if you're Jonathan Gannon

741
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 3: in company, it's your own division. For the first time

742
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 3: since the NFC West realigned to two thousand and two,

743
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 3: the Cardinals went zero to six in the division. Rams

744
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: made the playoffs. Really good run game, Niners world class

745
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 3: run game. Just ask any of the players in Seattle.

746
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 3: With Kenneth Williams and Zach Charbonay two of the most physical,

747
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: pounding running backs in the league, you've got to figure

748
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: out run defense. And what we've seen so far reportedly

749
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: in free agency addresses just that.

750
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 4: Let's take a closer look at the reported players coming

751
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 4: to Arizona to starting with defensive lineman Ballal Nichols, who

752
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 4: was most recently in Vegas with the Raiders. Six three,

753
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 4: three hundred and thirteen pounds going to be twenty eight

754
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 4: in September. He was a twenty eighteen fifth round draft

755
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 4: pick to Chicago out of Delaware. He's a seventeen game

756
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 4: starter in each of the last two seasons with Vegas.

757
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 4: Paul that is huge news. That tells me he can

758
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 4: stay healthy and be reliable and consistent, and you just.

759
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 3: Plug him right in the interior of that defensive line

760
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: and you let him eet right. Here's a guy, fifth

761
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 3: round pick twenty eighteen, self made guy. You know, he's

762
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 3: a grinder. He has a work ethic, something that these

763
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 3: coaches demand. And then just the track record of availability

764
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: and durability and production. Two years ago in twenty twenty two,

765
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 3: he started all seventeen games and you know, there he

766
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 3: was with forty four tackles, eleven quarterback hits. And so

767
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: it's one of those guys that, look, if you can

768
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 3: occupy the offensive lineman and let guys like Kaizier White

769
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: and Buddha Baker just roam and hit and make tackles,

770
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: and you can take on a double team that goes

771
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 3: a long way.

772
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 4: Take a look at Justin Jones as well, real quick,

773
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: six three hundred and nine pounds, coming from Chicago, where

774
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 4: he was also the Bears Walter Payton Man of the

775
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 4: Year nominee. Little fun fact. There another player that you

776
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 4: should be able to plug and play with. Kyle.

777
00:35:59,120 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 7: Yeah.

778
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know these are dependable players. What you want

779
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 5: as a defensive coordinator is you want to know what

780
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 5: you have every Sunday. So many defensive tackles, defensive ends,

781
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 5: edge rushers. They will have a big game disappear for stretches.

782
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 5: But what you want to do when you're developing a

783
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 5: game plan is be like, I've got this guy in

784
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 5: this spot, and I know exactly what I have. I've

785
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 5: got tough, lunch payal type guys that are consistent on

786
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 5: a weekend and week out basis.

787
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 7: And that's what we've added to our roster.

788
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 4: Justin Jones, a twenty eighteen third round pick out of

789
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 4: NC State to the LA Chargers. Cardinals fan. The Dave

792
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 4: We're talking linebackers next on Cardinals Red Sea Report.

793
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: Streetom of the bad field, offers of luck, run up

794
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: a little like a Gilson comes through like a rocket

795
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: past time and now what iss again?

796
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 7: With a terrific.

797
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 2: Play screen for McKinnon tackle for the absolutely ripped by

798
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: Mac Wilson and it is.

799
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 9: An interception Matt Wilson senior pitch play here as akamand

800
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 9: is buried.

801
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 7: What a play in the backfield by Mac Wilson. What

802
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 7: is a sack.

803
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 8: Mac Wilson fired there on the blitz.

804
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 4: And got Zipa Homes another defender reportedly coming to Arizona.

805
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 4: Welcome back into the Cardinals Red Sea Report with Kyle

806
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 4: Vannabosch and Paul Calvc. I'm Danny Surack linebacker mac Wilson

807
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 4: six one two forty six, twenty six years old. He

808
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: was a twenty nineteen fifth round draft pick to Cleveland

809
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 4: out of Alabama. A little bit of a surprise for

810
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: the Cardinals to address linebacker. I mean, we knew, we've

811
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 4: talked about. It's no surprise to address the defensive line.

812
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 4: The cornerback's room. Surprised at all, Paul about linebackers, you

813
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 4: know a little bit.

814
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: But when Kaiser White went down, you saw the value.

815
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 3: When Kaizer White was no longer available, you saw the

816
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 3: inability to cover the running backs out of the backfield

817
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 3: and the tight end. So you need an inside linebacker

818
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 3: who can run. Although what's intriguing is they really used

819
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: him off the edge as an outside linebacker late in

820
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: the season. If you look at all the reports on

821
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: mac Wilson and so any excelled at times off the edge.

822
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 7: He looked really good.

823
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 3: He had a two sack game against Patrick Mahomes where

824
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 3: he was beating the tackle sort of looked like an

825
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 3: Assan Reddick if you will. Six one two forty six

826
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 3: with good burst. One of the best rated linebackers in

827
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 3: coverage according to Pro Football Focus. But he was really versatile.

828
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 3: So what does that speak to Jonathan Ganna and Nick

829
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: rollis they love their versatility. They love to dial up

830
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 3: guys in different packages in different ways and try and

831
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 3: stay a step ahead of the offense and the blocking schemes.

832
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 3: So for a guy who played at Alabama but was

833
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 3: a round five picks, seems like he's been buried a

834
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 3: little bit. And I'll just say this based on the

835
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: reaction of the Boston media, a lot of them were surprised,

836
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 3: slash frustrated that the Patriots lost mac Wilson. They really

837
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 3: thought he would be back and they couldn't understand a

838
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: lot of media members why they would let him go.

839
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,959
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty three with the Patriots, Wilson had played

840
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 4: seventeen games with one start. He had three PBUs, two

841
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 4: force fulle bowls, three and a half sacks, four tackles

842
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 4: for lost, four quarterback hits. Kyle, where'd he envision mac

843
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 4: Wilson fit in with his defense with Kayzer White.

844
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 7: It's a good question.

845
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 5: Look, I think this is the signing with the highest ceiling.

846
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 5: I think he's got tremendous ability when he's lined up

847
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 5: at an off the ball inside linebacker, he really does

848
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 5: play sideline to sideline. He's got good closing speed. He's

849
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 5: a physical linebacker. As Paul talked about, he graded out

850
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 5: really really well, one of the top linebackers in the league.

851
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 5: When he was used in coverage, he graded out really

852
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 5: well in coverage. He looks good in the run front.

853
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 5: You can use him as an edge rusher. So you know,

854
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 5: it just depends where the need is. But you know,

855
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 5: at a minimum, look, this is an affordable contract potentially

856
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 5: that reportedly that we got him for. And we also know,

857
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 5: so I'm talking at the base line, we know how

858
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 5: this team values for face special teamers. He's been a

859
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 5: very good special teams player. He can be a special

860
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 5: team's ace for this team at a minimum. But with

861
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 5: his ability, with his potential, I think he could develop

862
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 5: into a really reliable inside linebacker. And even as Paul

863
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 5: talked about, be used as an edge rusher, I mean

864
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 5: I saw a couple of his rushes as well, and

865
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 5: he's got tremendous get off, tremendous burst, and tremendous bend,

866
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 5: all three things that are assets for edge rushers. So

867
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 5: you can use him in a number of ways. And

868
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 5: I think I'm excited to see what he brings to

869
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 5: this defense next year.

870
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 4: Looking inside the Cardinals linebacker's room pending free agents, Chris Barnes,

871
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 4: although has posted on his own social media supposedly coming

872
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 4: back to the Cardinals and Josh Woods. Is this telling

873
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: possibly the Mac Wilson signing that if Wilson's able to

874
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 4: come in and be your number two or be out

875
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 4: there with Kaiser White? I mean, is this telling on

876
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 4: what we could possibly expect from Josh Woods or not

877
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 4: Josh Woods to return.

878
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 3: Considering we haven't heard anything about Josh Woods, what does

879
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 3: that mean? And if Chris Barnes is coming back according

880
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 3: to his own social media accounts, then yeah, Josh Woods

881
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: might be the guy on the outside looking in. Remember

882
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: you had fifth round rookie Owen Papo got a lot

883
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 3: of time at the end of the year. Did he

884
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 3: prove himself to be part of this depth chart this year?

885
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 3: That would not be surprising whatsoever, you know, do they

886
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: try and find another guy in the draft. So maybe,

887
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 3: just maybe you get past the draft and yet in

888
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: your mini camp and you see what you have and

889
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 3: what you might need. Maybe that's the point in which

890
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: if Josh Woods is still available, he returns.

891
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 6: Right.

892
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 4: Things don't have to be done right now. There's still

893
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 4: plenty of time to add players to this roster.

894
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 5: Kyle, Yeah, absolutely, and you know, not only after the draft,

895
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 5: during training camp, during the season, there will I mean

896
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 5: Mantias support has things set up the way he wants

897
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 5: them set up, and he will continue We saw this

898
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 5: through the course of last offseason or last season. It's

899
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 5: not just off season moves and your roster is what

900
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 5: it is because of injuries, because of potential upgrades to positions.

901
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 5: He will make moves and find players that can even

902
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 5: if it's a little bit of an upgrade, he will

903
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 5: make that change. So this this roster will not only

904
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 5: change a lot, you know, through the rest of free agency,

905
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 5: in the draft, it will continue to be tweaked leading

906
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 5: up to training camp and through training camp in the season.

907
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 5: So it's it's it's fun to follow this team. It's

908
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 5: it's fun, you know, it's fun to be excited about

909
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 5: and trusting in a GM and his evaluation process and

910
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 5: the players he's bringing in that that he's finding the

911
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 5: right guys not only because of their talent and ability

912
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 5: on the field, but because of this culture that is

913
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 5: being established under Jonathan Gannon.

914
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 4: Reminder that these reports on free agency nothing can be

915
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: official until Wednesday, March thirteenth, one pm Arizona time, when

916
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 4: the new League years starts, So stay locked in on

917
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 4: Easycarninals dot com social channels as these reports can start

918
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 4: to become official pending physicals, players actually putting pen to paper,

919
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 4: So just keep that in mind. Looking at though the

920
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 4: reports of what the moves the Cardinals have started to do,

921
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 4: eleven picks in the draft, two in the first round,

922
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 4: where do you think that the main priorities still lie?

923
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 6: Paul?

924
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 7: Definitely? Offensive line?

925
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 3: What are you doing? You know d J Jemfries at

926
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: the very least is not going to be available to

927
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 3: start next season. So offensive line, you got to figure receiver,

928
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 3: what is a future of Hollywood Brown? Even beyond that,

929
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 3: it's so loaded at receiver, cornerback I think is coming.

930
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 3: You have to continue to bolster that room and then

931
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 3: I'll throw a couple other positions in their center. What

932
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 3: about there's a couple of franchise centers who are going

933
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 3: to be available late in the first round, maybe the

934
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 3: top of the second. You know, there's so many good players.

935
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 3: This draft is so loaded. There's an old saying on

936
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 3: Wall Street, right, pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered. I'm

937
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 3: in the danger zone right now because the Cardinals have

938
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: eleven picks and that's an NFL high, and I want

939
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 3: more picks at this point. Here's something else, What are

940
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 3: you doing a backup quarterback? Is there a veteran quarterback

941
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,720
Speaker 3: out there that maybe the Cardinals are eyed Clayton Tune?

942
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 3: Are you going to go to rookie route? Are you

943
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 3: gonna bring someone else in? You know what you saw

944
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 3: in that one game at Cleveland with Clayton Tune? Knock

945
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 3: on wood. If Kyler Murray isn't available, what exactly are

946
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 3: you doing?

947
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 7: So?

948
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 3: Who else is available on the open market right now

949
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 3: that you might trust? I think that's an area to

950
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 3: look at as well. Yeah, I'm sure you neglected, but

951
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 3: you didn't mention edge either. Look, this team blew a

952
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 3: lot of fourth quarter leads last year, had an opportunity

953
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: to win games.

954
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 7: Every team needs to find its closer.

955
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 5: This team has a number of guys that could step

956
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 5: up that are already on this roster, or we need

957
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 5: to find that closer somewhere else, whether you know, we

958
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 5: find that free agent, or we draft a closer, a

959
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 5: guy that can you know, third and long the other

960
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 5: team's trying to come back or at least getting field

961
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 5: goal range, you can seal the deal and in the game.

962
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 7: With that closer.
