1 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang. Just three days now before we see 2 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: this Cardinals team take the field at State Farm Stadium. Yeah, 3 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: there won't be fans, but it's still the home opener. 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: The opponent, Washington, presents some unique challenges to the Cardinals defense, 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: which played high school football on one play, according to 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Banch Joseph against the forty nine ers. We'll 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: talk about it. We'll also talk about Isaiah Simmons's first 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: game and maybe it wasn't all that bad, though it 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: did look bad at times. It's Cardinals Cover two, episode 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: three thirteen, and it starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover 11 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: two with Craig Grigolu and Mike Jarecki. Cardinals Cover two 12 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: is presented by Hyundai, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, 13 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. Visit asy Cardinals dot com 14 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: slash pod casts. Murray rolls to the right, throws near 15 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: side of Fred's pot. He's into the ends off to 16 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: the touchdown. Here's Craig Grielou and Mike Jarecki. So the 17 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: subject of Jerseys came up during Advanced Joseph's video conference 18 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: call earlier. MJ and I'm gonna put you on the spot. 19 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: If you were to choose a jersey, regardless of sport, 20 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: regardless of team, what would you wear. Well, I'm a 21 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: football and nut. I'd probably wear number eleven. Oh that's 22 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: the easy way out. I could say Murray, but I 23 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: don't have a Murray jersey. I have two jersey in 24 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: my closets if you want me to pull them out. 25 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: One number twenty eight, not for any particular player, it's 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: my favorite number. And then I have a Frank Sanders 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: eighty one jersey, and I would like to have hand 28 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: qua bold jersey, so I'll go Bolden just old low 29 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: hanging fruit here, fair enough, full disclosure. I've got a 30 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: fifty five jersey. In fact, got it for my daughter. 31 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: Her choice, her decision, the fact that Chandler Jones went 32 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: to Syracuse paid no reasoning behind it. But she rocks 33 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: the number fifty five on Sundays. Oh that's a good decision. Yes, 34 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: she's she's she's taking at Syracuse angle and she's making 35 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: her her dad very happy too. To that or you know, 36 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: sixty seven for Justin Pugh, but you know, yeah, fifty 37 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: five looks better. Yeah, exactly, all right, head into the 38 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: show here too, and we're gonna start with a roster move. 39 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: This was announced prior to practice. Where are we going 40 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: with this? The advanced Joseph mentioned about his kids. Oh yeah, 41 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: that's right. You know what we should bring up? That's right, 42 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: Bury in the lead here, all right, bands Joseph, because 43 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: the subject came up because you know, families usually go 44 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: to games, and now it's the questions. People want to know, 45 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: what are you doing on game day if you can't 46 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: go to the stadium. So the question was asked to 47 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: coach Joseph and he says, it's son's got a number 48 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: of jerseys, including fifty five because Chandler Jones is a neighbor, 49 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: also Kyler Murray. But how about his daughter? Where's forty three? 50 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: For Hassan Reddick? I thought that was pretty cool, really cool. 51 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: And you know, obviously Vance is a big fan of 52 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: Hassan and vice versa, and they believe in this guy. 53 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: And you know, again, I'm rooting for him. You know, 54 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: our Nassal's route. But I like what he does hunting 55 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: off the field, and I think he's a true professional, 56 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: and you know, I hope he has a good year. 57 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: And you asked me the other day, and I said, 58 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: they need him right now. The way the roster's constructed. 59 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: He's got experience, and I think he's settling to his role. 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: So it's nice to see that she recognizes that Vance's 61 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: daughter does too. Yeah, And Coach was very complimentary of 62 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: Reddick because even though inside linebacker wasn't a great spot 63 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: for him, never complained, tried to make it work and 64 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: that's what you want from your players. And if it 65 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: doesn't work out, then you find something else. And the 66 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals hope that they have found something at least they 67 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: did for one game at outside linebacker because he played very, 68 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: very well. Yeah, and you know, you look at guys 69 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: like Ezekiel Turner and Chris Banjo and Hassan Reddick. You 70 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: look at some of these guys that are rotation players. 71 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: You know, Patrick mentioned during his media that, you know, 72 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: your five star players have got to show up. But 73 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 1: it's nice to see different names. We weren't talking about 74 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips last year. We weren't talking about Dave Andre Campbell, 75 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, black black Son, I mean, and then you 76 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: throw out in Knard and you know, these guys have 77 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: made a difference. So it's nice to see that. You know, 78 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: obviously we're not just talking about starters, and usually you're 79 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: only as good as your backups, and we know that's 80 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: next man up, but sometimes that positions it could be difficult. Well, 81 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: those four players that you mentioned specifically on defense, those 82 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: new faces have kind of brought a different dimension, if 83 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: you will, on and off the field with respect to 84 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: the defense. Yeah, I've been I've been asking around and 85 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, I asked Vans about it today and mentioned 86 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: that the guys I mentioned, Phillips, Kennard, Blacks, and Campbell, 87 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: I thought they brought some grit and physicality to that game. 88 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: Now granted it didn't start off when they're down ten nothing, 89 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: but over the course of the four quarters, I thought 90 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: they looked like a different defense. And you know, that 91 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: was the idea in the offseason to kind of upgrade 92 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: certain positions. You know, some of those guys I mentioned 93 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: are starters, but I really like where they are now, 94 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, just because lack of preseason. And we'll get 95 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: into with Vans at about you know, Isaiah Simmons and 96 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: how many snaps that he obviously missed. But I think 97 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: it's going to take twenty five percent of the season 98 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: for this, you know, there's things to build on. Obviously, 99 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: you want to win week to week, but I think 100 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: when we get past the first four games, Craig, we'll 101 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: start to see the defense gail together. And we thought 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: that going in based on the starters. Now, the offense, 103 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, they had a slow start, but they they 104 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: made plays when they had to in the second half. Yeah, 105 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: it was really, at least for me, that the defense 106 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: became the store. I know everyone talked about DeAndre Hopkins, 107 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: and they should because of the fourteen catches, but that 108 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: game was one with the defense on the field late 109 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: in that ball game. And Peterson brought that up as 110 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: well a year ago at San Francisco and we discussed it. 111 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: They couldn't get that end of game stop and as 112 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: you pointed out, I mean when you get a block punt, 113 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: that's on the defense. And then the Cardinals were able 114 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: to score right away, and that's you talk about momentum. 115 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: And then obviously the goal line stance, and that was 116 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: Canard and Campbell. I mean, Canard usually lines up on 117 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: the light side, usually go north and the south. You 118 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: don't try to get cute and go to the pylon. 119 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: But again I like what they've done, and clearly they 120 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: had an idea when they went out and signed those guys, 121 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: and you know, and we'll get into the latest on 122 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson with Chris Banjo, because there's gonna be a 123 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: little bit of drop off, but I do like the 124 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: fact that one has experienced. Oh Banjo played fifty eight 125 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: of the sixty two snaps in Week one because Thompson, 126 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: as you'd mentioned, went out very early in that contest 127 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: and earlier today as we finally get to the roster 128 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: move placed on injured reserve because of an ankle injury. 129 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: Now IR this season means that he is going to 130 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: miss at least three games and he can come back 131 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: at any points after those three games, and that goes 132 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: for any player this season that is placed on injured reserve. 133 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: One you have to miss three games and two you 134 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: can come back. Previously it was eight games you had 135 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: to miss and you can only designate two guys to 136 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: come back. So a little bit different, which is nice 137 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: for teams because you're not losing a roster spot or 138 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: feel like you're losing a player for a significant chunk 139 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: of the season. We saw Richard Sherman placed on IR 140 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: by the forty nine ers. Typically that would mean while 141 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: he's going to miss half the season, Well, if you 142 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: have an injury that you know is going to be 143 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: out two to three weeks, well you know what, put 144 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: him on IR. Let him get rested, get rehab, and 145 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: then bring someone in that can take that spot and 146 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: be on the field while the other guy is in 147 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: the back, you know, making sure that he can eventually 148 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: get back on the field. Well, it was put it 149 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: in for COVID. I mean if you had some position 150 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: group or you know, a couple of guys on the 151 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: team and you know they had to be quarantine for 152 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: fourteen days and then they get back, you know, based 153 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: on testing. So it was really put in for COVID. 154 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: But again, I think it's a good luxury, and you 155 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: know a lot of times you've got to make that 156 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: decision because you can only bring certain amount of guys back. 157 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: This year, it's a little bit different, and I think 158 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: the league is aware of if they do have positive tests, 159 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: But this is a little bit different. This is an 160 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: injury and I'm sure he's gonna get treatment around the clock, 161 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,599 Speaker 1: because you know, the good news is he's going to 162 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 1: be able to play at least twelve twelve games we 163 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: get to October, so they need him. He's obviously a 164 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: starter for a reason. Yeah, and taking his spot on 165 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: the roster. Another safety, Curtis signed off the Steelers practice squad. 166 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: Here's someone who's got some decent size, six feet two 167 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: hundred and three pounds his sixth NFL season, but could 168 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: not find a home with the Steelers as far as 169 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: the active roster is concerned. But forty three games nineteen 170 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: starts over a period of time with the Raiders, Giants, 171 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: and then three seasons with the Titans. Undrafted rookie free 172 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: agent in twenty fifteen out of Fresno State, So we 173 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: might see a new player in that secondary Curtis Riley 174 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: wearing number thirty five for the Cardinals. Yeah, and we 175 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: look at, you know, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense. I mean, 176 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: it's hard to gauge against the Giants with the new 177 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: coaching staff. Saquon Barkley couldn't get out of his own way, 178 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: But you know, you just look at it from you know, 179 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: everyone talks about t J. Watton or linebackers, but Mika Fitzpatrick, 180 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: I think I think they're solid at all. Three levels, 181 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: So it's not a surprise that he couldn't find a spot, 182 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: but obviously comes in with that Pittsburgh mentality when it 183 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: comes to playing physical football. A couple of other items 184 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: as far as injuries. Once again, for the second straight day, 185 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: Ted and Max Williams did not practice because of an 186 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: ankle injury. That's something to pay attention to. We get 187 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: more into that on Friday when the final injury report 188 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: is released. The other one is Mason Cole hamstring injury. 189 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: He did not practice for a second straight day. So 190 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: if you put two and two together, I'm certainly leaning 191 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: towards seeing Lamont Gilliard as you're starting center of this 192 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: coming week. If for no other reason, I'll give you 193 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: two reasons. One Mason Cole hasn't practiced and two, as 194 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: luck would have it, Gilliard addressed the media after practice today, 195 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: So I would think we will see him make his 196 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: first NFL start after his first NFL action in week one. Yeah, 197 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: what an oppressive young man. I mean, you talk about 198 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: a guy that played in a ton of games at Georgia. 199 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: We talk about how many defensivelignment come out of that conference, 200 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: and you know last year he didn't get a single snap, 201 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: and so I mean being in the system, it couldn't 202 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: be easy for a guy that was, you know, a 203 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: draft pick and you know, he played in a great 204 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: conference and he's been the captain, and he's been the centers, 205 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: has been his natural position. He did play a little guard, 206 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's a huge drop off. I mean, 207 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: obviously experience wise, because Mason played all sixteen games over 208 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: a thousand snaps. But I think Gilliard is a little 209 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: more athletic and a little bit stronger in the anchor. 210 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: Not to say Cole hasn't gained weight. Obviously Cole has 211 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: his experienced They're comfortable with both guys. So once again, 212 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: it's good to have depth on the team. And the 213 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: fact is, you know, even though he didn't play last year, 214 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: he's been in the system for two years, and he 215 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: spoke very highly of Sean Coogler, which his job is 216 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: to get these guys ready. It was interesting to Healer 217 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: Gilliard talk about his rookie season. Much like DJ Humphries, 218 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Humphries was inactive all season long. Gailliard was 219 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: inactive for fourteen games games, dressed twice, but didn't see 220 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: the field, and he was very open and honest when 221 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: asked about that sitting and watching after you get used 222 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: to playing all the time. Quote, it was very stressful 223 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: at first, and then he added unknowing as well, and 224 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: I can only imagine when you are accustomed to being 225 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: on the field and then told, hey, you know what, 226 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: it's not your turn right now, and that for a 227 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: lot of players is a blow to the ego. And 228 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: you can go one of two ways. You can do 229 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: what Lamont Gilliard did or DJ Humphries sit back, watch, learn, 230 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: put in the work, or you developed this attitude like 231 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? I should be on the 232 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: field and then all of a sudden you're lost and 233 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: the team will discard you. I applaud Gilliard for his 234 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: attitude and his work ethic and it's now paying off. Yeah, 235 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: and the aussiotone Ko said your day will come. He 236 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: can't predict. It could have happened mid season, it could 237 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: have happened, you know, in December. But he said, just 238 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: just be patient. Your time will come. And you know, 239 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: obviously you got to put the work in because everything's filmed, 240 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: the good own break down the practices. You don't want 241 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: to have mental ayres and you know, it sounds like 242 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: he made gets some assistance on some of the line calls, 243 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: but Kyler Murray was very confident with him being in there. 244 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: So again, it's good to have depth. It's nice to 245 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: see some of these draft picks kind of pan out, 246 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: whether their starters or rotation guys. And remember what Justin 247 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Pwood said earlier in the week, He called Gilliard the 248 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: MVP when he walked into that huddle, and Gilliard basically said, 249 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: all right, let's keep this going. And he was on 250 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: the field for those big fourth quarter drives and ultimately 251 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: win the ballgame for the Cardinals. And it's certainly gonna 252 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: be a tough task this week because once again you're 253 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,119 Speaker 1: facing a great fronts and Washington, which we addressed yesterday. 254 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: How about today, MJ. We talked about this Washington offense 255 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: go a little bit more in depth, because on the surface, 256 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: it's not a great offense. Yeah, they scored twenty seven points, 257 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: but those touchdown drives, as we mentioned earlier, forty five, 258 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: twenty and forty eight yards. But when you hear Cardinal 259 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: players talk about Washington or banch Joseph, two things. One, 260 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: they're young two, very very fast when you're talking about quarterback, 261 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: running back and wide receivers. Yeah, and you know, I 262 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: go back to when Patrick Peterson returned last year and 263 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: they played the Giants, and you know, Daniel Jones is 264 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: more of a pocket passer. You know, a lot of 265 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: these guys can run like Josh Allen has and some 266 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks are a little bit taller. But you know, 267 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: Haskins according to story I read earlier in the week, 268 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he's getting rid of the ball quickly. He's 269 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: got the arm strength, he's got some new weapons on offense. 270 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: But you know a lot of times they're having going 271 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: a three and a five and seven step drop and 272 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: he's putting that backfoot in the ground and he's making 273 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: the throw. So he's got a really strong arm. And 274 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: what I thought, Patrick said, you know, I asked him 275 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: to you because if he's going on a three to 276 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: five and seven, you gotta hope get pressure and a 277 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: lot of times secondary has to kind of plaster their coverage. 278 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: And Patrick said, if we can have tight coverage force 279 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: him to throwing tight windows, they believe they can get 280 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: some turnovers based on that. But easier said than done. Quote, 281 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: we want to make it as tough as possible. This 282 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: is Patrick Peterson earlier today. As far as Haskins completing passes, 283 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: and we know he's certainly going to look in the 284 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: direction of his college teammate at Ohio State, Terry McLaurin, 285 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: who last year as a rookie, huge first season, almost 286 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: a thousand yards receiving and seven touchdowns. So now you've 287 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: got a quarterback and a wide receiver growing together, much 288 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins. But Haskins is one 289 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: of those quarterbacks in year two MJ that we don't 290 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: hear a lot about. Maybe we're just on our own 291 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: little bubble here and focused on Kyler Murray, but when 292 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: you talk about young quarterbacks, he's not top of mine. 293 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's because of his struggles 294 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: in his first year or just because of everything else 295 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: that has been going on with Washington, mainly off the field, 296 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: that it has kind of affected things on the field. 297 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: As far as when people bring up Washington, well, I 298 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: think you know, based on hireing Ron Rivera, and you know, 299 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: obviously they fired Jay Gruden last year, who's now in Jacksonville. 300 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: As you'll see, you know, I think they're in the 301 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: reset button, the rebuilt button, and they could have went 302 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: with Alex Smith. Now, I mean, playing and being on 303 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: the fifty three Madden roster is a big difference. And 304 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you know they were concerned about Smith, 305 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: but it's a great story. But yeah, it's a small sample. Um. 306 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: You know, the thing is is the game slowing down 307 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: for him? Is he able to read defenses? Because in college, 308 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys just but the hash marks. They 309 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: just throw the ball. I mean and and a lot 310 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: of times though their athletes are much superior than some 311 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: of the teams they are playing. But you know, I 312 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: think it was the right choice. You're looking at the vision. 313 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: You know, he got some young quarterbacks in there between 314 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and Wentz, and they throw him in there 315 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: and then Jack Prescott, So I think they kind of 316 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: want to have that young quarterback for the future. And 317 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: again they're really young, they have talent, they have really 318 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: good running backs to have speed. But I don't know 319 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: if they're ready to compete right away. I think they 320 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: want to show improvement weekend and week out. Well, certainly 321 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: they showed when you give them a short field they'll 322 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: be able to take advantage of that, and that's what 323 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: you want any offense to do. But I think that's 324 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: the defense's job for Washington this season to make it 325 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: as easy as possible for Dwayne Haskins and company. Don't 326 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on them. And you're the 327 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals defensively if you can get into a shootout, and 328 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that will happen because I just don't 329 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: think this Washington offense is capable of putting up twenty 330 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: five plus points, especially if they've got to go you know, 331 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: eighty ninety yards the length of the field to score well. 332 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at a Ron Rivera type team, 333 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: we know his defensive backgrounds of four to three. Jack 334 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: Real is the defensive coordinator, so I'm assuming he's making 335 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: the calls based on the game plan during the week. 336 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: But you know, round Rivera with different players, he had 337 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: the Cardinals number, I mean, Luke Keikley, Thomas Davis, you 338 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: look at Kawan Short, but they're playing a similar defense. 339 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 1: They just don't have the personnel. So we'll see if 340 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: del Real puts a spy on Murray, does he try 341 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: to keep in the pocket because that could be dangerous 342 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: and they roll coverage on Hopkins because I gotta think 343 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: Fitz is going to be more involved. I gotta think 344 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk's more involved. We talked about Annie Isabella maybe 345 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: getting his opportunities again, they're not going to force it, 346 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: and then then Dan Arnold and then you know when no, 347 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: Chase is going to get more opportunities in Kenyan and 348 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: Drake probably more in the running game. So yeah, but 349 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: it's you know, the thing is is that I think 350 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: they feel like, you know, if this if this group 351 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: can stay together because they've invested with so many picks 352 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: there that they could be you know, in the upper 353 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 1: rusche line when it comes to, you know, stopping the run. 354 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if they have enough guys to get 355 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: those sacks. I know it was you know, three or 356 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: four different guys, but that's very impressive in the NFL. 357 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: They have eight sacks and it all starts with Ryan Carrigan, 358 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: very underrated player, and then obviously Chase Young. Yeah. Defense 359 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: first mentality with Washington quick note though on the offensive side, 360 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: and it was interesting to hear Vansh Joseph talk about 361 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: Washington as a whole and he went through everyone. It 362 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: seemed like but a couple of things. In fact, one 363 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: was he was surprised when he watched the tape on 364 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: just the speed of this Washington offense. And he admitted 365 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: that he doesn't has not watched any Washington tape since 366 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: he was in Denver, and Alex Smith was the quarterback. 367 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: Smith now listed as third string with Kyle Allen as 368 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: the backup. But he specifically brought up j. D. Mckissic, 369 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: the starting running back who was a little bit quiet. 370 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: Last week. It was Peyton Barber who had the two touchdowns. 371 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: But according to Joseph Kissick quote scarer me end quote, 372 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: and then he alluded to how successful the forty nine 373 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: ers running backs were, especially out of the backfield. So 374 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: it's not the tied end, it's not the tight end 375 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: so far, it's the running backs. So maybe we see 376 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: that short up here in week two. Yeah, because you know, 377 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: you just look at their offense and mckissic's a guy 378 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: that has speed. But you know, the Cardinals defense held 379 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: the Niners to four receptions from their wide receivers. Now 380 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: granted they didn't have you know, Deebo, Samuel or Brandon 381 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: I you but obviously you know how I feel when 382 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: it comes to tight ends and running backs, it's a 383 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: mismatch for linebackers, so they got to do tighten things 384 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: up where you don't let those guys run off to 385 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: the races like you know what happened last week with 386 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: San Francisco. So I would assume that's a point of 387 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: emphasis going into this game. But again, if the Cardinals 388 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: can can kind of copy what they did last week, 389 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I want to say, the Niners one for 390 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: four in the red zone, the Cardinals got him off 391 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: the field on third down, Cardinals converted on third down 392 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: on offense. It'd be nice to first of all, just 393 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: get the W. But it'd be nice if this team 394 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: can have a lead in the fourth quarter where you know, 395 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: maybe you could not call off the dogs but be 396 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: able to run the football and win at the line 397 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Yeah, and as Vans pointed out, when teams 398 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: start to fall behind that I was asked to Larry, 399 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: how can Chandler Jones break the record? And he said, 400 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: if we can play with the lead in the fourth 401 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: quarter and we automatically teams got to throw the football, 402 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: that's going to possibly put him in that twenty two range. 403 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: So I thought it was a good observation from Larry 404 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: on the subject of the sixty seven yard touchdown by 405 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. That was the one thing that 406 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: I think really stuck out to coach Joseph because he 407 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: mentioned it a couple of times and then he added, 408 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: that's high school football, meaning NFL defense is if you're good, 409 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: don't allow that to happen. And I'm sure that was, 410 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: if not the first play on film, at least one 411 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: of the top two or three plays on the film, 412 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: because that will drive a coach mad on the sidelines. Yeah, 413 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: and it happened early, so I'm sure that was part 414 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: of the film session when they started. And as we 415 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: pointed out throughout the course of the week, maybe more 416 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: on Monday. When you win, it's a little bit easier 417 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: to correct stuff when you lose. And if you're on 418 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: a losing the streak, now guys start thinking, all right, 419 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: I did my job, but the guy next to me 420 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: didn't do a job. And that's not the case here. 421 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: But you can correct your mistakes win or lose. But 422 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: when you win, you're like, okay, we can be better 423 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: than this. You know, if we put out you know, 424 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: clin up on the tackling, you know, don't have you know, 425 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,479 Speaker 1: horse collar penalties. I know he was trying to make 426 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: a tackle. Then this team could be better overall. So 427 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: that's something to look for in the first month of 428 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: the season. And it was Isaiah Simmons in coverage on 429 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: that sixty seven yard touchdown by right He most certainly 430 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: one of those plays that stands out. It would have 431 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: stood out even more if this team had lost. But 432 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: now we're talking about a first round draft pick and 433 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: Simmons who in Week one certainly not as advertised. He struggled. 434 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: There was the horse caller tackle that you mentioned on 435 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: George Kittle, and then that busted coverage or just didn't 436 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: have the right stance. And you know, you can fault 437 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: everyone on the field, but certainly when you're the guy 438 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: in coverage, you're going to get the bulk of the attention, 439 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: bulk of the blame, and that certainly is what happened 440 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: right now to Simmons. Well, he took a bad angle 441 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: and it's never a good thing when you're chaneling the 442 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: play and you could just see that, you know, most 443 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: sort he was able to kind of read it and 444 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: it was open field to me. You hope it doesn't happen. 445 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: But again, he's not going to have the same angles 446 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: he had in college. These guys are a lot faster, 447 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: they're stronger, they're physical. But again, when he watches the film, 448 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: he'll learn. And it sounds like just listening to Vans 449 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: Joseph that you know, aside from those two plays, and 450 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: I know you can't disregard those two plays, but that's 451 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: what people that's what fans are focused on. But coach 452 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: Joseph's made it sound like Simmons actually played better or 453 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: a little bit more like they anticipated him from the 454 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: gate as the game progressed, because according to coach Joseph, 455 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: Simmons did make quote three or four nice tackles when 456 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: covering George Kittle, who according to Joseph, had one catch 457 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: when Simmons was in coverage seven or eight times. And 458 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: I think that is something that's that got lost because 459 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: we're not paying attention to that. It's just what are 460 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: the glaring mistakes as opposed to, Hey, you know what, 461 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: at least he got better, He improved as the game 462 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: went on, and all of a sudden, maybe they do 463 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: have something in Simmons as far as him being able 464 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: to cover the tight end position. Yeah, that's encouraging. Well, 465 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: we always look at the end result. You know, nobody 466 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: wants to know the objects, how they got down there 467 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: and stuff. And one other thing he pointed out, and 468 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: you can make the case for every team that first 469 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: round picks, is he missed twelve hundred snaps in the offseason, 470 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: you know, between OTA's mandatory mini camp and then training camp, 471 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: where I think it's more in the offseason because he 472 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: was getting reps in training camp. But twelve hundred refs, 473 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: that's a lot. I mean, I listened to Bruce Harrians 474 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: last night. He said Brady probably only had five hundred 475 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: refs and there in their offseason stuff. So again that's 476 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: why I think it's going to take time for these 477 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: teams to come together. Quoting Joseph On Simmons, I knew 478 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: it was going to be a learning curve for Isaiah 479 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: end quote, because you know, as you mentioned, he missed 480 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: so much time and it just you know, twelve hundred 481 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: snaps that's a lot. But you're talking about rookie mini camp. 482 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: You're talking about OTAs and many stamp and the other 483 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: two weeks that rookies are allowed to stay after the 484 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: veterans leave, and then of course, as you brought up, 485 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: no preseason, So twelve hundred sounds like a lot, but 486 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: maybe if you really break it down, it's a drop 487 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: in the bucket. That's every player before you get to 488 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: week one has had probably over a thousand snaps physical 489 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: snaps on a football field. And here's what Simmons missed 490 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: as rest of the entire twenty twenty draft class. Yeah, 491 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: and again that's why I think we need to temper 492 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: the expectations. You know, I'm curious as everyone else about 493 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: you know, his stamp count, but listen, in sub packages, 494 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: he's one of their better players. Now. It's just a 495 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: matter of him getting comfortable and more confident, and you 496 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: know he'll start to see things because your eyes are 497 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: big when you're a lineback, your eyes got to be 498 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: in the right spot if you want to take different angles. 499 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: And you know, listening to Campbell and Hicks, they've been 500 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: thoroughly impressed with him with his approach is football like you. 501 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's questioned to player. It's just him 502 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: kind of falling into the guy that they drafted. And 503 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: again not so much in the secondary, but more in 504 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: the front seven well, and the words of Aunt Joseph 505 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: Simmons quotes, just needs more time on the job end quote. 506 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: And then the fact that you're not able to simulate 507 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: in training camp the physicality and the speed of an 508 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: NFL game. And Simmons got knocked around. And I don't 509 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: think that was to be expected just because how big 510 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: he is. But in college, you're the biggest man on 511 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: your team, the biggest man on the field. In the NFL, 512 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: you're amongst there are so many guys like you or bigger, 513 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: stronger than you, and that's you know, you go from 514 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 1: college to the pro. That's a big leap, even at 515 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: a big time school like Clemson. Yeah, and the thing 516 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: is with him, we got a chance to the open 517 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: portion of training camp and some of the practices when 518 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: they're doing their drills, you could see he needs to 519 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: get stronger. Now. I think he'd be an issue for 520 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: a possibly a right or left tackle because of his 521 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: arm length. I think it'd be difficult to get inside 522 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: of him. But they can also just shut a block 523 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: and throw them all aside. But watching some of the drills, 524 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: you know, and again he will have this conversation next year. 525 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: Year one to two and hopefully everything's going according to 526 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: plan in the offseason and he'll put some weight on 527 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: and he'll get stronger, and he'll get a lot smarter 528 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: from just knowing that. You know, I can't I'm not 529 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: gonna win every play, but I'm going to compete at 530 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: every place. So again, just temper the expectations. But there's 531 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: a reason why this guy is very athletic. He can 532 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: do a lot of different things, and he can help 533 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 1: you one on Sundays. And it's not just coach Joseph 534 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: that noted how well Simmons responded to some early adversity 535 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: to Andre Campbell. When he addressed the media earlier this week, 536 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: mentioned the same thing. Quote that's what the NFL is about. 537 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: Have a short term memory, end quote. So you get 538 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: burned for a couple of plays early in the game, 539 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: you try to shake it off the best you can. 540 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: He was praised. He was told, you know, don't put 541 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: so much pressure on yourself on the sidelines talking about 542 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons and then go back out there, which we 543 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: did see him in the second half, and I think 544 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: he played a little bit better. But grand scheme of things, 545 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: what are we talking about? The sixty seven yard touchdown, 546 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: the horse collar tackle drawn, the penalty. That right now 547 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: is the first impression and for many the last impression 548 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: for Isaiah Simmons in terms of Week one. Yeah, but 549 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: it was encouraging. How a Vans City played in the 550 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: second half and whether George could it was one hundred 551 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: percent or not. You know, he missed the last play 552 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: in the first half and he played whether he was 553 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: a decoy. But again, you can build on that stuff. 554 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: You know, you go and say, I just covered one 555 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: of the best, if not the best right in. Obviously 556 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: look at the salary. That's what the ninders think about him. 557 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: So you can build on that. And again there's gonna 558 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: be ups and downs. It's gonna keep peaks and valleys 559 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: at least his first season in the NFL.

Week two now and only a matter of days. 568 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon, one oh five, the kickoff at State Farm 569 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: Stadium home opener, although without fans the first two straight 570 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: at home. And this is you know, across the league 571 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: there are teams that are playing with no fans and 572 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 1: a tenants bird gang. We'll see if that changes when 573 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: the Cardinals return to State Farm Stadium in October. But 574 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: Week one did not seem to affect either team really, 575 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: but there are some teams that do have fans yet. 576 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: I know there's something that you want to bring up 577 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: as far as how teams held training camp versus what 578 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: the Cardinals did in training camp. Well, Patrick said, you know, 579 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: until they got that block punt and then he scored 580 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: on the next possession. He said, you know, that's when 581 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: they kind of got some momentum on the sidelines, and 582 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, you got to create that. And so I've 583 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: been thinking, and you know, I talked to you about 584 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: it on Aaron You said, in fairness that you said, 585 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: I need to see more in order to come up 586 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: with an educated answer. And then I asked Cliff and 587 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: he kind of said, well, you know, we'll see just 588 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: like you. So you guys were thinking the same way. 589 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: And then Larry was asked today, you know, what was 590 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: it like going there, and he said, we knew there's 591 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: gonna be no fans, but Larry mentioned that practicing twenty 592 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: three times at State Farm Stadium, the Cardinals they don't 593 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: they didn't have any fans this year. Obviously the media 594 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: is only to watch a certain portion of practice, so 595 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: I think they feel comfortable now. For other teams, you know, 596 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: sometimes the stadium is a little bit ways away from 597 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: your facility, very similar to Arizona. But usually they'll go 598 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: there for a scrimmage, or they'll go there for like 599 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: a walkthrough, like trust rehearsal, and for the rookies and 600 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: guys that haven't been on the roster, they get a 601 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: chance to see the stadium. The Cardinals literally practice every 602 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: day in their own stadium with no fans, So I 603 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: do think that's going to help them versus you know, obviously, 604 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, practice and intent being the bubble because it's 605 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: too hot, we'll see. I mean again, I'm not saying 606 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna go on beating at home, but I like 607 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: the fact that this is there. They know every blade 608 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: of grass there, They know, you know, obviously if if 609 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: the roof's open, they know which way the wind's blowing. 610 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: They know, so I feel like it's an advantage, but 611 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's really going to come down to block 612 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: and tackling and forcing turnovers. But I do think they 613 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: have an advantage, and I'm sure other teams are thinking, man, 614 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: we just don't have the capability to go over there, 615 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, every day in practice. So we'll see. Yeah, 616 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: the Cardinals know what it's going to look like, they 617 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: know what it's going to sound like, and I think, 618 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, you might have a point there, and we'll 619 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: see if it works on Sunday and then the following 620 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: week against Detroit. But it is what It's goes back 621 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: to what we hear coaches says, the inability to simulate 622 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: in training camp what week one is going to be 623 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: because without a preseason, coaches took different ways to either 624 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: work on tackling or trying to figure out, you know, 625 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: where rookies first year player is going to be able 626 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: to contribute. How do we get them ready and prepared. 627 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: And one of the ways the Cardinals and they've done 628 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: this for a couple of years now since leaving Flagstaff. 629 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: Is to be able to hold training camp at their 630 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: home stadium and allows them allows some of those new 631 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: faces a little different or maybe an easier way, in 632 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: a quicker way for them to figure out, hey, this 633 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: is my new surroundings now on Sundays. Yeah, and you know, 634 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know they're gonna When they announced the 635 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: team coming out of the tunnel, you know, we saw 636 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: Larry kind of joking around trying to get the crowd going, 637 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: and it was, you know, it was only only there 638 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: was Michael Bidwell and Steve Kime up there. But it 639 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: was kind of funny. But we know the Cardinals have 640 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: used crowd noise throughout training camp. And what the NFL 641 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: did they went back to four years of each team's 642 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: home games and they try to figure out the decimal 643 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: level between seventy and seventy five. I kind of think 644 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: some of those Packer games got to be in there anyways, 645 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: So I just think that there it's like when they like, 646 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: I'm sure there were butterflies. It's the NFL. Some guys 647 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: in they were playing the NFL last week. Here, It's 648 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: like this is where I work at. Now, you still 649 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: got to go out there play the game, but I 650 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: think they're more prepared to take care of business at 651 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: home this year than they had in previous years. And 652 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: bird Gang just to know this. As far as at 653 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: least what happened at Levi's Stadium, our producer Jim M. 654 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: Hunter noted that what was heard at the stadium was 655 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: different than what was heard if you watched it on TV. 656 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: So I don't know. Again, I don't know what it's 657 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: going to sound like in the stadium versus what it's 658 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,399 Speaker 1: going to sound like on Fox. But there were two 659 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: different crowd noises, if you will, with the players here 660 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: and then with the fans here. Because the TV broadcast 661 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: is something that I think some networks are doing a 662 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: little bit different as far as how to bring football 663 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: more to life without the benefit of fans and attendance. 664 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's gonna be the same 665 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: thing at State Farm Stadium. But at Levi's Stadium, Paul 666 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: Calvisi and Darren Urban, who were on location, what they 667 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: heard was different than what you and I Mjhard on 668 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: the broadcast. Well that's going to be interesting because we 669 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 1: do watch the broadcasts and we listen to our broadcasts. 670 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: But being there now, we're in a closed press box, 671 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: so we'll see. But I know what it sounds like, 672 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: and there are times it gets very loud. Absolutely well, 673 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: just how many times it opposing offenses get flagged for 674 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: offsides false starts? I mean, that was one of those 675 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: stats that certainly Seattle and the twelfth Man get a 676 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 1: lot of attention for. But the Cardinals I think might 677 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: even have a higher number of penalties that the Bird Gang. 678 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: The crowded State Farm Stadium has been able to force 679 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 1: since that building open. Yeah, over the last few years, 680 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: you know, even though they haven't won a lot of 681 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: home games, but they do get more false starts. Seattle 682 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: has been opened a little bit longer, but it was 683 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: kind of neck and neck, and I think the Cardinals 684 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: have a few more right now. But we know how 685 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: much home field advantage means to teams like the Seahawks 686 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: and Cardinals. You know, protect the nest. When Larry makes 687 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: it play, everyone goes bonkers. So that's going to be missing, 688 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: and that's the disappointing thing. But as you pointed out, 689 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see more teams once to get 690 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: clearance from the Health Board, and maybe each state's a 691 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: little bit different when it comes to rules and regulations. 692 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: You know, we can't predict anything, but I think October 693 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: we can hear more. But they've already announced weeks two 694 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: and three, there'll be no fans wonderful get a piped 695 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: in Larry Larry Larry chant on Sunday though, that'll be 696 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: fascinating if we do it would and they were even 697 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: thought about that. Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed and 698 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 1: something to pay attention to. And of course, I'm Jay 699 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: you know your homework assignment for tomorrow will preview the 700 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: week two matchup against Washington as the Cardinals look to 701 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: go two and oh for the first time since twenty fifteen, 702 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: and perhaps with a new center snapping the ball to 703 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. On that note, that will put a lid 704 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: on This edition of Cardinals Cover two presented by Hyundai, 705 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals Special Thanks as always 706 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: to our executive producer Joe Mama Andro for Mike Jarecki, 707 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm Craig Riel Lou.
