One week ago today, gentlemen, 13 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: we were in this very studio on the heels of 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: owner Michael Bidwell announcing that head coach Cliff Kingsbury had 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: been fired and general manager Steve come was no longer 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: a part of the organization. Fast forward seven days and 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: we have a new general manager, forty four year old 18 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: Monty Austin Fort just introduced officially to the local media 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: about thirty minutes to go and we will discuss what 20 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: he had to say and where this team goes from here. 21 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: As we heard from Michael a week ago, the preference 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: was to get the general manager hired first and then 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: look at the head coach. And we have a general 24 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: manager Drew Monty austin Ford, first time GM, but he 25 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: has been in the National Football League for better than 26 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: twenty years, previously with the Titans and then fifteen seasons 27 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: working his way up the ladder with the New England Patriots. Yeah, 28 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: it's an impressive resume and you look at it, and 29 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: he was even interviewing last year right for jobs and 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: he was up for some GM jobs and I know 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: people within the building were extremely impressed by him. Obviously 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: that's why he got the job, and that's what needed 33 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: to happen. You need to hire a general manager and 34 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: play first before you go out and get a head coach. 35 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: There has to be a pecking order. And as he 36 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, the ego is such a big 37 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: thing when success shows up, so as long as you 38 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: have strong leadership and it starts with the general manager 39 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: and the trickle down effect of that, right, and we 40 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: saw that with what Michael was talking about of who 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: he wanted to take charge, who he wanted lead, And 42 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: this seems like such a good fit. And that was 43 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: the luxury of being the only one that was really 44 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: had a GM open spot right now, right if I'm 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: not mistaken as well. So within the building, Yeah, they 46 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: have a head coaching place though, so then that becomes different. 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: Those dynamics are different. The intrigue of getting someplace to 48 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: be able to show up and have control of over 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: what's going on, have saying who the head coach is 50 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: going to be, to be able to put your blueprinour 51 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: organization that has a lot of great pieces in place already. 52 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: This is an exciting time and I think it's a 53 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: natural fit for somebody like This press conference was thirty 54 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: four minutes, very impressive as far as the first impression. 55 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: And Kyle, I guess that's all we have right now 56 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: because he is talking about Monty a little bit of 57 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: an unknown. Yeah. Three seasons with the Tennessee Titans as 58 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: director of player personnel and then before that, fifteen seasons 59 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: with the Patriots, worked his way up from scouts to 60 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: director of college scouting on four Super Bowls with the Patriots. 61 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: So you talk about an organization to cut your teeth 62 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: with Patriots and Bill Belichick, not too bad of a 63 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: way to get involved in the National Football League. Yeah, 64 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: to me, that's That's one of the big things with 65 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: him is one of the things he talked about was, Look, 66 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: we're not looking for a quick fix. We're not looking for, 67 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, somebody to come in and start things up. 68 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: We're looking for sustainability and to get everybody pointed in 69 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: the same direction, to have a unified plan. And you know, 70 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: the wheels of the NFL turned so quickly, and like 71 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: you said, it's so much has change in just a 72 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: week and now here we are. You know, to me, 73 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 1: this whole process makes sense and tremendous credit to Michael Bidwell, 74 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, to have seven interviews to make this decision 75 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: as quickly as he did, so that this team can 76 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: continue to move forward, So that he and monte asen 77 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: Fort can work together to interview a head coach, so 78 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: that they all have their visions aligned, and you can 79 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: take this off season and have the arrow pointed the 80 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: same direction for everybody involved. Let's hear from Cardinals owner 81 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: Michael Bidwell on why the decision to go with Austin 82 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: Ford as the general manager. As we went through the 83 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: process and the whole process, it became clear that Monte 84 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: Austin Ford had the combination of a well defined vision, 85 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: a work ethic character, the background and experience and being 86 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: with two great organizations, the New England Patriots as well 87 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: as the Tennessee Titans in evolving roles, and it became 88 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: apparent that all of the combination of those things that 89 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: Monty was going to be the best fit for us. 90 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: Of those seven candidates interviewed to be general manager, three 91 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: were internal, but this now becomes an external higher which 92 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: this organization has not seen apart from when Buddy Ryan 93 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: was both head coach and general manager. This is the 94 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: first Cardinals GM to be hired from outside the organization 95 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: since the seventies. And I think that was the perspective. 96 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: I think Michael was looking for a different set of eyes, 97 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: perhaps to see what is working and then obviously, coming 98 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: off a four and thirteen season, what's not working to 99 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: where this team gets back into the postseason. Yeah, And 100 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: it's no disrespect to the guys that are here saying 101 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: they know they were just weren't the best fit for 102 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: right now. I think both those guys that come to 103 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: mind as far as Quinnon Harris and you look at 104 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: you know, a dub of what they bring to the table. 105 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: They just might not be ready at a certain point. 106 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: And you go out and you get fresh blood. You 107 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: want to infuse what's going on, because again, I remember 108 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: when I was in Detroit, we went Owen sixteen and 109 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: the next year they fired Matt Millen and they just 110 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 1: promoted Martin Mayhew and everybody's like we were just owing sixteen. Wow. 111 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: You need to bring in new blood. You need to 112 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: bring in a fresh set of eyes to be able 113 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: to shake things up. You have to do that to 114 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: reinvigorate the fan base. They've got to be excited about that. 115 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: And you look, as Michael alluded to the two places 116 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: that he's been before this, the success that they've had. 117 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: You bring a portion of that with you. You bring 118 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: that mindset, you bring that culture, you bring all of 119 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: those things with you of a certain way of doing things, 120 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: and then you collaborate, You rely on the people in place. 121 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll bring some other new guys in with 122 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: him that he can trust and rely upon, and then 123 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: you try to build that winning culture. You try to 124 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: build that mindset of Okay, this is what this is 125 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: going to look like, because all thirty two different teams 126 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: operate differently, and far as the coaches are concerned, as 127 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: far as the front office is concerned, the structure that 128 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 1: is there, and he's going to put his own stamp 129 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: on this thing. So to go out and get somebody 130 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: like this, I think it was a great move. I 131 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: think it was the right move to get somebody, especially 132 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: after you know all of the things that have kind 133 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: of been up in the air over the past couple 134 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 1: of years. Here, well, let's hear from the new Cardinals 135 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: general manager. Names on Monday and officially introduced about thirty 136 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: minutes to go here at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals 137 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: Training Center. We're going to focus on a completely unified 138 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: message across the general manager, the head coach, and ownership 139 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: to what exactly we want to be as a football organization. 140 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: We're going to institute a thorough and exhaustive scouting process. 141 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: We are going to turn over every stone to find 142 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: the right players for this team. We are not just 143 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: collecting talent. We're going to build a team. We're going 144 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: to look for the right type of players. Ego will 145 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: not be tolerated in this organization. We are going to 146 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: look for focused, driven and people that are willing to 147 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: put the team first at every step of the way. 148 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: Let me take parts of that. Thirty sets, thirty seven 149 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: sound bites out of that, and it's ego will not 150 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: be tolerated in this organization. Something that stood out to 151 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: me in real time and continues to stand out based 152 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: off we heard from Michael a week ago, Kyle, and 153 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: that was accountability this team, this organization, there needs to 154 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: be more accountability. And I think and Michael alluded to it. 155 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: That quote, the ego quote was a direct reflection of 156 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: what Michael is looking for to get this thing turned around. Yeah, 157 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: And the question was asked to Michael Bidwell, you know, 158 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: was this a part of the player input, because he 159 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: had talked about going around to the leaders getting their input, 160 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: not necessarily about a name or a head coach, but 161 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: what things need to change, What are we looking for 162 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: in this organization, what things are we missing and why 163 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: did things go south this season? And it wasn't necessarily ego, 164 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: but he said, players mentioned accountability and that's what makes 165 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: a team look You can be good in the short run. 166 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: You can you do things your own way. You can 167 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: have a locker room full of egos with talent, but 168 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: eventually it's going to catch up to you. I mean again, 169 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: you look at the playoffs just this weekend. Every game 170 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: was within one score. And that's that's about discipline, accountability, 171 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: figuring out ways to execute and and and it's it 172 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: doesn't just come from game plan. It comes from your 173 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: entire organization and the people you bring in and how 174 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: things are taught. And you know, again, a big thing 175 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: that that Monti Asenford talked about was we want to 176 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: find a head coach. He didn't he didn't mention gurus. 177 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: He didn't mention, you know, offensive coordinators that are putting 178 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: up a ton of points. He didn't mention defensive coordinators 179 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: that are UM you know, coaching shutdown defenses. He talked 180 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: about developing talent. And to me, UM, that's one of 181 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: the things that this organization could get better at is 182 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: having a coaching staff that UM not only evaluates UM 183 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: not only having a front office that drafts well and 184 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: brings in the right type of players, but developing the 185 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: talent that you have in house. By the way, before 186 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: we head to a time out here on the Cardinals 187 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: Red Seat Report presented by seat Geek, Your Ticket to 188 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: Great Seats. Your connection indirectly with monti A I think 189 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: is phenomenal because he talked about how he grew up 190 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: in a small town in Minnesota with two stoplights, and 191 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: it is not very far from where you grew up. Yeah, 192 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: he grew up in a metropolis compared to where I 193 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: grew up. That's two more stoplights and I had my hometown. 194 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, I just thought it was a huge coincidence. 195 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: He grew up in Laverne, Minnesota, which is, you know, 196 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: less than thirty minutes from my hometown, same age, forty 197 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: four years old. He played quarterback, but we never crossed 198 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: paths even though we grew up in the same little pocket. 199 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: You know, I was in the northwest corner of Iowa 200 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: and he was in the southwest corner of Minnesota. So well, 201 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: you can use this connection. We're probably going to lose 202 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: you here, although you do have a deal that if 203 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: either one of you front office or coach, you're still 204 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: doing this show every Tuesday. Yeah, I'm not too worried 205 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: about that. No, it's I don't think I'll be getting 206 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: that calling, Drew. You're the one that we got to 207 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: worry about, right. Nope, he's got the mind. The general 208 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: manager is in place, next the head coach. We know 209 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: one name for certain, and that would be Cardinals defensive 210 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: coordinator vanch Joseph. That interview will take place sooner rather 211 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: than later. There are other names that have been attached 212 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: to this job, all according to reports, will get into 213 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: those some of those names. But that is the next step, 214 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: perhaps the first step for new Cardinals general manager Monty 215 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: Osenford as he begins his tenure as Cardinals general manager. 216 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: It is the Cardinals Read Seat report presented by a 217 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: seat Geek, your ticket of great seats here on the 218 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

The 228 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: report by NFL Networks Ian Rappaports on Monday of the 229 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: news made official in the afternoon, and here on Tuesday morning, 230 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: Monte austen Fort officially formally introduced to the assembled media 231 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: here at the Dignity Arizona Cardinals Training Center about thirty 232 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: minutes before we hit the air here on the Cardinals 233 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: Red Seat Report presented by seat Geek your ticket to 234 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: Great Seats, and we are discussing what Monty had to say, 235 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: Craig Reelu kav Nibosh Andrew Stanton here and you look 236 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: now at the next order of business, and that is 237 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: looking for a head coach, Drew priority number one. Obviously, 238 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: there are a million things that Monty needs to figure out, 239 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: none of which or is he saying, maybe the top 240 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: of the list is figured out, as he joked about 241 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: in his way to his new office here at the 242 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center. But finding that head 243 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: coach and whether he looks at people that he knows of, 244 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: or connections maybe second Dairy connections, to try to get 245 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: that job filled as soon as possible. Yeah, well, I 246 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: think it starts with the philosophy, right, Like he was 247 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: talking about, you have to have a vision of what 248 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: that looks like, and then you go through the interview 249 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: process and you see who fits that vision. I'm sure 250 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: they have an idea. When he was going through the 251 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: view process himself with saying, Okay, well, these are the 252 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: guys that I envisioned as head coaches and this is why, right, 253 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: is it a strong leader of men? Is it a 254 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: play caller? Is it? Whatever it is? And Kyle kind 255 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: of alluded to in the last segment. He didn't talk 256 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: about any of that. He talked about leadership. He talked 257 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: about these things, and I think that's why it's so 258 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: important to go get that piece in place, because then 259 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: the players know who's going to be leading them. They 260 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: understand who that's going to be, and then mony can 261 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: asss the different coaches that are currently on the staff 262 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: to try and be fair to them, but he can 263 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: also assess the people that are currently in the front 264 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: office roles. Do I keep this status quo? Do I 265 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: keep everybody in those roles because there's not much time 266 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: to waste. You have to get right to work. You've 267 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: got to be able to do this. And yes, there's 268 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: other teams that are playing, but you're trying to revamp 269 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: everything around here. Get ready for the combine, get ready 270 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: for all of these things that are going to happen 271 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: through the draft, through free agency, and you've got to 272 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: hit the ground running, and you've got to make sure 273 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: you've got a strong support staff in place. So he 274 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: has a lot to do. He'll find his office pretty easily. 275 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: I can show it to him if he needs me to. 276 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: I know where that's at. But in saying that, Monty 277 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: can also speed this up because he probably hasn't a 278 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: good idea of who he wants to do this with. 279 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: Right there is a partnership that's going to have to 280 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: take place, and that continuity as equally as important. That 281 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: relationship is as important as anything in this building between 282 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: GM and head coach. I would argue it's just as 283 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: important as the on field production of a quarterback and 284 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. All of those things matter. You have 285 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: to be an extension of each other. You have to 286 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: speak the same language. You have to do all these things, 287 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: and you've got to hold each other accountable. And that's 288 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: something that we haven't seen here unfortunately in the past. 289 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: And that working relationship between generalmanager and head coach. You 290 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: just look back at his prior relationships with head coaches again, 291 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Mike Rabel, two family run organizations, no different 292 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: than the Arizona Cardinals. But now looking for that working relationship, 293 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: that connection between front office, head coach and coaching staff. Yeah, 294 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously finding the next head coach, it becomes 295 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: priority number one because as he talked about it, and 296 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: one of the impressive things is he's been hired. He's 297 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: been on this job for less than twenty four hours, 298 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: and he said he's already broken down the pending free agents. 299 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: He's watched some film, he's trying to evaluate that. But 300 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: even with that process, which is vitally important at this 301 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: point in the offseason, you have to share that vision 302 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: with your coach. You don't necessarily know exactly what type 303 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: of offensive system you're gonna run. You don't know what 304 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: type of defensive system you're gonna run. You don't want 305 00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: to begin to resign or negotiate with your own free agents, 306 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: if the head if they don't fit your head coach's vision, 307 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: if they're not going to fit your defensive coordinator's vision. 308 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: So um, you know you've got to take each step 309 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: as it comes into me. Again, it's going to be, 310 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, finding the right head coach that fits his process, 311 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: that fits his plan, that that they can work well together, 312 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: and then they could begin to evaluate what type of 313 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: talent do we need to continue to fill out this roster. 314 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: And he talked about you know there there is building blocks. 315 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: There is key core pieces on this roster right now 316 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: to build around. Um, but you don't want to start 317 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: filling in the other pieces until you find out you 318 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: know who your head coach is and what type of 319 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: system you're going to run, and then you move forward together. 320 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's hear from the new Cardinals general manager 321 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: what is Monte Austin Fort looking for and a head coach? 322 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: I think the key is that we find the head 323 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: coach that is right for this team. There's there's many 324 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: ways of doing things, and I think finding a head 325 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: coach that aligns with the way I see building a 326 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: team the way Michael seems building an organization, and then 327 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: I think there's the specifics in terms of leadership in 328 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: developing players and coaches, in being a teacher of fundamentals, details, 329 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: and techniques. We're trying to build a sustainable program here. 330 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: This is not a short term fix. So we want 331 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: a coach that sees the big picture and understands that 332 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: we're not happy, which is the results of twenty twenty three. 333 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: We're building this for extended championship teams as we move forward. Again, 334 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: no preference as an offensive head coach or a defensive 335 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: head coach. But it's that buzzword leadership, Kyle, that we 336 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: keep coming back to. Whether it was a week ago 337 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: when Michael was talking about looking for a general manager 338 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: and then a head coach that was the order, that 339 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: was a preferred order, finding the GM first, but an 340 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: overall leader and then maybe a little bit more delegation 341 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: as far as the head coach is concerned. A leader 342 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: of men is what a lot of people discuss when 343 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: you're looking for that NFL head coach. And again going 344 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: back to what we talked about earlier, Um to me 345 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: and obviously to Michael Bidwell, and now you can hear 346 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: the same things from Monty As and fort Um. This 347 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: this organization needs accountability and that begins with a head coach. Um, 348 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: it begins with his system. It begins with him, um, 349 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: having a system for keeping players accountable, and that will 350 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: be a big step in where this team goes in 351 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: the next season. Um. You know there's just you know, 352 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: not too harp on last season, but um, you know, 353 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: just even at the the average fan watching Cardinals games, UM, 354 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, you could use more discipline, you can use 355 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: more accountability, and that all begins and ends with the 356 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: head coach. Let's hear more from Austin Ford as far 357 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: as that collaborative approach between the front office and the 358 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: head coach and his coaching staff. I look forward to 359 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: working alongside Michael, and as he mentioned, a big step 360 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: in that is is finding our new head coach, And 361 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: together with with Michael and myself and the new head 362 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: coach and every one else in this organization, we're going 363 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: to strive to find a collaborative environment where we are 364 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: completely aligned in the football structure that we're going to 365 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: put before this organization. One name we know for certain, 366 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: In fact, Michael Bidwell announced it earlier on Tuesday. Defensive 367 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: coordinator Vance Joseph will interview to be the next head coach. 368 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: Other candidates, according to reports, forty nine Ers defensive coordinator 369 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's, former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, and 370 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: then Sean Payton, the big fish out there, all have 371 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: been linked according to reports, for this job. Again, not 372 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: necessarily an offensive mind or a defensive mind, but you're 373 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: looking for someone who can come in and have that 374 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: relationship with the general manager and then helped spread the 375 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: message throughout not only the players, but as we heard, 376 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: throughout the entire building. Yeah, I mean, look, the collaboration 377 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: thing sounds great, right, Leadership sounds great. It's about application, 378 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: It's about being able to put the right people in place. 379 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: And I think the easiest of leadership, of how do 380 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: you describe leadership is followship. If you're not a leader 381 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: unless people are following you, and you need to hire 382 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: a head coach that people want to follow. You need 383 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,719 Speaker 1: to hire a head coach that people are going to follow. 384 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: And that takes a lot of sifting through different things. 385 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: That getting down to the core of what you believe 386 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: in your values and being able to say the same 387 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: things differently when something's not working. You've got to be 388 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: able to pivot and be able to get hold of 389 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: that locker room and keep hold of that locker room. 390 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: When I think that has to coincide with the belief 391 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: of the general manager. The general manager is going to 392 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: hire the next head coach here, and in saying that, 393 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: that head coach has to be able to go to 394 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: the general manager. And they've got to hold each other accountable. 395 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: It's got to be a little uncomfortable at times. They've 396 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: got to be able to step on each other's toes. 397 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: There's got to be able to have things when errors 398 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: are made, to correct those errors, to take ownership of 399 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: those errors, and to be able to move forward collectively 400 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: of saying, you know what, we're going to put these 401 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: egos aside and we're going to do what's best for 402 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: the card We're going to do everything in our power 403 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: to make the Cardinals sustainable brand and logo. In the 404 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: NFL and the NFC West, for a long period of time, 405 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: you've seen the organizations that do that, they continue to 406 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: have success. The ones that go up and down in 407 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: its roller coaster and are very fickle are the ones 408 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: that ego gets involved, where pride gets involved, where people 409 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: don't want to hear about their mistakes. They brush stuff 410 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: front of the rug that can't be done when you 411 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: are held accountable. That's where you're going to see growth 412 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: and that's what needs to happen here. You want that 413 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: back and forth between whether it's general manager and head 414 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: coach or whatever company you have. You don't want the 415 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: quote unquote yes man in there because then you don't 416 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: get that disagreement or the different set of ideas to 417 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: push your organization your company forward. Yeah, and that conversation 418 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: came up when a question was asked about diversity, and 419 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 1: he said, you know, not just race, but we want 420 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: different ideas. And you love that. He doesn't come in 421 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: with it's my way or the highway. He said, we have. 422 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: He has a very specific process that he uses in 423 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: doing his job, but he welcomes different voices, different opinions, 424 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: and that's that is I mean too, as Drew said, 425 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: that's how good organizations are run. Um. You know, it's 426 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: not one view, not one voice. Obviously, there's somebody at 427 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: the head that's steering the ship. But at the same time, 428 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: you bring in as many different voices, as much different 429 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: experience from different places and different backgrounds as you can Now, 430 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: how long does this process take. It took a week 431 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: before the general manager who was hired. Is it going 432 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: to take another week, two weeks? It doesn't. It doesn't 433 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: matter how long drew as long as you find the 434 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: right head coach. And the perfect example is Bruce Arians. 435 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 1: He was the last head coach hired that year, and 436 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: we know what happened when he was here with the Cardinals. Yeah. Well, 437 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things too, right, that 438 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 1: you want to get out in front of it if 439 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: you can. But there's also going to be a time 440 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: where you have to look over across and say, Okay, Michael, 441 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: is this who you think is the next head coach? 442 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: They'll know. I truly believe when you get that person 443 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: in the room, when you get that leader that you 444 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: are looking for, Michael and Monty will both understand that. 445 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: They'll be on the same page because they've outlined what 446 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: that's going to look like, and until you get them 447 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: in person, you can identify that. Now it's much different. 448 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: This is a different type of race. Before we're looking 449 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: for a GM and there was only one other opening, 450 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: as you talked about, with already head coach in place. 451 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: Now there's multiple head coaching openings, But as Monty alluded 452 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: to in his press conference, all thirty two jobs are 453 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: completely different. The requirement of what that looks like the 454 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: job in Denver versus the job in in Indianapolis versus 455 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: the job that's here. Those are three different qualifications of 456 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: what you're looking for as far as what's already in 457 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: place and what you need as far as the roster 458 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: and the ownership in you know, the location and the 459 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: division that you play in, all of those things are 460 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: vastly different. They're all high draft picks, which is nice, 461 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: and gms like that and head coaches like that. But 462 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: in saying that, right, you've got to find the right 463 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: mixture of what you're looking for, and they are starting 464 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: to identify that checklist of what every head coach that 465 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: they're going to interview has to have and find someone 466 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: Kyle that's committed, because as we heard Mandy say, this 467 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: is not something that's short term. We're looking for long 468 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: term to where you're not turning over the head coach 469 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: every four or five years, which is the norm in 470 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Yeah, I mean it's been said 471 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: many times before, but there's no quick fixes in the NFL. 472 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously a lot of teams go from worst 473 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: to first. Teams not in the playoffs go to playoffs 474 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: the next year. But what they're looking for is stability 475 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: in this organization and not having to be back in 476 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: this situation, not having a high draft pick again in 477 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: the near future. You know, those are all things that 478 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: are encouraging. They're not necessarily looking for the slam dunk 479 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: that's going to get his ten wins this year. It's 480 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: you know which head coach will still be here in 481 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: four years, and the Cardinals are still winning the division 482 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: of four years. By the way, Kingsbury the longest tenured 483 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: head coach when he was fired again. Constant turnover in 484 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: the NFL. This is the Arizona Cardinals radio network. All right, 485 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,239 Speaker 1: let's start it out with Robert Downey Junior. All right, 486 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: so here's the empty set. Now from Murray, three receivers right, 487 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: of course, it is snapped to Kyler looking right now 488 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: back in the middle. Now runs to the right, a 489 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: lot of right here. Three right turns brings you back 490 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: to the same place, I believe, all right, to Morgan Freeman. 491 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: Then from here on out, looking still dancing around, pointing, 492 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: still holding the ball like a street ball in the backyard. 493 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: He's still got it. Runs right to the ten, cuts 494 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: left to the five, and he's gonna score, all right, 495 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: dude de Niro. Now, oh my goodness, Shah Kayler murray 496 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: on that play. On a play that took about a minute, 497 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: somehow get to the ends off at two points. This 498 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: is the entertainment capital of the world.

Now. 522 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: We just need him to work on a Drew Stanton 523 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: and a Kyle of Animal. Yeah, child, I would love 524 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: to hear him impersonate Kyle. I heard Drew do a 525 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: cal VC earlier, so maybe he could get into the 526 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: Bolly pencil neck yep the two point conversion Week two 527 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: at the Las Vegas Raiders. Yeah, one of the many 528 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: plays of Kyler Murray and what was a shortened season 529 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. But why are we talking k one 530 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: here when the new general manager was just introduced only 531 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: about an hour ago. Well, Kyler Murray is going to 532 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: play a large role in this organization. This year whenever 533 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: that begins, and then years moving forward. But it is 534 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on Kyle because right now 535 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: we don't know when we will see Kyler back on 536 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: the football field under one ACL surgery the first week 537 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: of January and likely going to miss part of the 538 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: upcoming season. That's the expectation. Certainly, don't want to rush 539 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: him back when he is the face of your franchise. Oh, 540 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: you're right, you know a lot of the conversation we've 541 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: had already is about getting the general manager, the owner, 542 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: the head coach, everybody in this organization with the same 543 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: vision pointing in the same direction. And a big piece 544 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: of that is Kyler Murray. Um, you know we he 545 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: is this franchise's quarterback and he will take this team 546 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: as far as it can go. But you need to 547 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: continue building around him. Um. You need to have an 548 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: offense that you know can display his skill sets, that 549 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: can that he can not only execute, but be the 550 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: dynamic player he has shown that he can be on 551 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: a consistent basis. And and so a lot of the 552 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: decisions from this point forward are you know, a like 553 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: they said, how do we get him healthy? Make sure 554 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: he's healthy, Make sure he's ready for this upcoming season, 555 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: but how do we build around him, how do we 556 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: get the most out of him, and how do we 557 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: continue to develop him into being this franchise's quarterback. Getting 558 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray healthy something that was asked new gentlemanager Monte 559 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: Austin for earlier on Tuesday. I think the first order 560 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: of business there is Kyler's got to get healthy, and 561 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: we want to do everything in our power to help 562 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: him get healthy. We want to see him out on 563 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: the field. I've seen what a healthy Kyler can do. 564 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: I did a lot of work on Kyler coming out 565 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: of Oklahoma. I know that he is extremely talented, but 566 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: with both his legs and his arm, and so yeah, 567 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: that does represent a challenge for us. We'll be ready 568 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: for it. But the first order of business is getting 569 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: Kyler healthy and helping him in whatever manner that is possible. 570 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: It was two years ago drew Week one in Tennessee, 571 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray four touchdown passes in a thirty eight thirteen 572 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: win over what was Monty's previous team, the Tennessee Titans. 573 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: And that was that seven and oh run ten and 574 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: two starts. So yeah, Kyler Murray. Now the question is 575 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: how do you get him to where he can do that? 576 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: Once again, well, you need like ten sacks like the 577 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: head too, So we get Chandler back to have four 578 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: sacks in that game, that'd be a nice start as well. 579 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: Oh no, but look again, it's one thing. You look 580 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: at the pieces that are in place here and you 581 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: look at Buddha Baker. He is a perennial pro bowler, 582 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: all pro type of guy. He is not going to 583 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: be one of those guys that's going to change his 584 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: game based off of who they hired his head coach. 585 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna go out and play his game. He's gonna 586 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: play with whatever structure of a defense is required of 587 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: a safety. Who you hire as a head coach is 588 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: going to have an extreme impact on Kyler Murray. Whether 589 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: or not he is an offensive guy or a defensive guy, 590 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because who the head coach is hired 591 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: as is going to bring an offensive coordinator to follow 592 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: a belief system, and that belief system has to be 593 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: bought in with by Kyler Murray. That relationship that was 594 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: talked about the past, that there was some turmoil between 595 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: Kyler and Cliff and there's not much continuity all these 596 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: things has to change. That relationship is so imperative, and 597 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: Michael talked about like before of saying that Kylie is 598 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: going to have some input and Kyleer's not the only one. 599 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: The leaders on this team are going to have input 600 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: at Once they dwindle that list down, I would imagine 601 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: some of these guys would have dinner with them, or 602 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: to have a phone conversation or any of these things, 603 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: because that relationship, that communication is so imperative, and everybody 604 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: wants to see Kylie return to the form that he was, 605 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: that Pro Bowl caliber player being able to do everything 606 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: that he can do on a football field. It's such 607 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: unique skill set. He has to be healthy in order 608 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: to do that. He has to buy into what the 609 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: brand of the Arizona Cardinals is going to be moving forward. 610 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: That's why the vision is so important. That's why being 611 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: here for an entire offseason and being a presence within 612 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: this locker room, on and off the field, being a 613 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: presence in the community, embracing what that means to be 614 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback in every facet is the step that 615 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: Kyler needs to take. And some of that, yeah, is 616 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: when you have hiccups, when there are trials along the way, 617 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: and you're recovering from rehab of being a presence here, 618 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: being a voice for this organization and getting guys. You 619 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: got to go out and recruit guys to come here. 620 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: The good quarterbacks are doing all these things behind the 621 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: scenes of trying to get guys to come in here. 622 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: And there's going to be many moving pieces. There's talks 623 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: of trades or guys retiring of all these things, and 624 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: no two teams are ever the same from year to 625 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: year with an organization, but the main stays within this organization. 626 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: They need to step up as this regime change is 627 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: taking place and take ownership of what it's going to 628 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: look like. If the Arizona Cardinals are going to have 629 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: success for this next window of time, getting Kyla Murray 630 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: to be that MVP candidate that he was in twenty 631 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: twenty one halfway through that regular season, that needs to 632 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: be the focused points of whomever the head coach is. 633 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: But Kyle Murray, yeah, he will be a part of 634 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: that coaching search, whether it's an input or you mentioned Drew, 635 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: just having a conversation with whatever candidate that might be 636 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: in line. But Monty again discussed how much of a 637 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Murray will have on dictating that coaching search. Listen, 638 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: we're looking for a head coach that can lead this 639 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: entire organization. We're looking for a head coach that can 640 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: develop all the players, and Kyler being a big part 641 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: of that. We want the right coach, and whether that's 642 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: an offensive coach or a defensive coach, frankly, doesn't matter. 643 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: We want the best coach when we have a plan 644 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: for what we are going to be as an organization. 645 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: We're going to develop our players and we're going to 646 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: put him in the best position to make us successful 647 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: and ultimately win. The other player that was brought up 648 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: in this was brought up by Monty himself, Kyle, and 649 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: that was him running into Buddha Baker earlier on Tuesday 650 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: prior to the press conference. Brief conversation, but it reminded 651 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,239 Speaker 1: Monty of scouting Buddha Baker coming out of Washington and 652 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: then the interview at the scouting combine and the big 653 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: takeaway from me, and We've heard this from a number 654 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: of different people within the organization with a front office 655 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: or coaching staff, but in the words of Monty quote 656 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker represents everything we want this organization to be. 657 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: We've advanced to talk about Buddha Baker. If I could 658 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: have eleven Buddha Bakers on defense, all go every single 659 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: week with whomever it is, and I like our chances, 660 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: And I think that's what you want that head coach. Yeah, 661 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: be able to not only bring the best out of 662 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: a Kyla Mury and a Boodh Baker, but everyone, so 663 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,959 Speaker 1: you can be on that same level as a Kyler 664 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: Murray and a Buddha Baker. Yeah. I love that he 665 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: brought up Buddha Baker. I mean because when he talks about, 666 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, no egos and team first players, there's no player, 667 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: not only just with the Cardinals, but in the National 668 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: Football League that represents that more than Buddha Baker. I mean, 669 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: playing through an ankle injury, playing through a broken shoulder, 670 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: throwing his body around, just the way he plays and 671 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: hustles is the ultimate team first, selfless thing that you 672 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: can do. So he's the type of guy that you know, 673 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: particularly on the defensive side of the ball, that you 674 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,959 Speaker 1: want to continue to build around and try to get 675 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: more players around him. When you draft a guy, you say, 676 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: watch this guy, Watch how he prepares, watch how he 677 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: he plays the game, and that does just wonders for 678 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: your organization when you have that guy in house, and 679 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: you know that's one of the things. Look, there's gonna 680 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: be a lot of turnover on this roster, but we 681 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: talked about and Monte asa for it, talked about we 682 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: have the pieces, we have core players to build around. 683 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: And when you already have that guy in your locker 684 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: room and you're not searching for that guy that can 685 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: bring you the type of leadership that can be that 686 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: team first type of guy, that's huge. He's you know, 687 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: Buddha's going to continue to be a huge asset for 688 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: this organization because he will be the way he plays, 689 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: the way he prepares, his past success. He will be 690 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: a steadying force in an organization again that's going to 691 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: have a lot of turnover. Mentioned earlier, the fifteen seasons 692 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: that Monty spent with the Patriots started as a scout, 693 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: worked his way up to become the team's director of 694 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: college scouting, a part of four Super Bowl wins with 695 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and the lessons that he learned in New 696 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,280 Speaker 1: England every day going to work was a masterclass education 697 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: of how to build a football roster and how to 698 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: build a winning organization. There are core beliefs that I 699 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: believe that I will take from there, as I will 700 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: take from every step along my way that I plan 701 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: to bring here and put my own spin on it 702 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 1: and make it the card in a way. He talked 703 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,720 Speaker 1: about not going in and watching and repeating what he learned, 704 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: whether it was in New England or Tennessee, but putting 705 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: taking a little bit from each stop drew and then 706 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: putting what he thinks is the best way to put 707 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: it all together in one nice collaboration exactly. I mean, 708 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: you have to use a product of your experiences and 709 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to put that all together. 710 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: You learn from the mistakes, that you learn from the success. 711 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 1: You take all of that and you apply it to 712 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: this situation, which is vastly different. If you try to 713 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: implement the same thing over and over again a different 714 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: set of circumstances, it's not going to work itself out. 715 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: You'll be unsuccessful in your final stuff out of a job. 716 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: So he's got to take everything, put it all together, 717 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 1: and he's got to find a support system that he 718 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: can trust, because there are going to be bumps in 719 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,439 Speaker 1: the road. You just have to stay the course or gang. 720 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: Make sure joined the season ticket priority list and select 721 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 1: your seats before the general public.

This is 725 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network thirty six yarder from the 726 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: right hash to win the game Logan Cooko put it down, 727 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: Riley Patterson cook puts it down. Pattersons kick it up. 728 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 1: The field goal is good, good, good, But Jaguars ever wanted? 729 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: But Jaguars ever wanted. They have come back from twenty 730 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: seven nothing to win the game and move on. How 731 00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: good is that? That's what I'm talking about? Early, How 732 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: does that happen? Seriously, you're up twenty seven nothing with 733 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: two minutes to go in the first half and you 734 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: lose the game. Thirty one thirty Jaguars advanced Chargers home 735 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,919 Speaker 1: and cleaning house within their coaching staff, not the head coach, 736 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 1: but some assistants let go. Earlier on Tuesday, that final call, 737 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: Riley Patterson's game winning field goal, this time expired courtesy 738 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network, So Jacksonville gets the honor of 739 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: playing at Kansas City on Saturday afternoon in the divisional round. 740 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: But certainly, if you're the Chargers right now, Drew, you 741 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: lose thirty one thirty when you had a twenty seven 742 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 1: nothing league. Although we've seen large leads evaporate in the 743 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 1: National Football League, and I don't want to say it's 744 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: become more commonplace, but we see leads evaporate in the NBA, 745 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: NHL and Major League Baseball, but it's much more difficult 746 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, usually not in the playoffs and 747 00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: that type of circumstances. I mean, that's a rough off season. 748 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you're a player in that 749 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: Chargers locker room and you go there and again, in 750 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: order for you to give up a twenty seven point lead, 751 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: it's got to just be bad in every single facet. 752 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: And it was right. You watch that game, you see 753 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,760 Speaker 1: it transpired, and you see it get closer and closer, 754 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you know, they don't convert here, 755 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 1: they miss a field goal there, All of those things 756 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: start snowballing and they just never found their footing. And 757 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: it's really hard because that Los Angeles Chargers team was 758 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: very talented. I mean, they jumped out and they were 759 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: getting after. They were a lot of people's sneak a 760 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: sleeper team because they were getting healthy at the right time. 761 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: They were doing all these things. They have a young 762 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: quarterback that is so dynamic, they have playmakers, all of 763 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: these things, and then Jacksonville just finds a way to 764 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: win again. I think this could be a small snippet 765 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: of what the Arizona Cardinals could be next year. Is 766 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars if they find the right leader. Because 767 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: this team, though it got overhauled a little bit. The 768 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: man lead eating the charge. Doug Peterson of what he 769 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: brings to the table versus Urban Meyer, has shifted that 770 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,399 Speaker 1: whole organization as a trajectory that it's on now. And 771 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: that's the type of person that you're looking for when 772 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: you make this next higher Here in Arizona, worst to 773 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: first to tap, and I believe in eighteen of the 774 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: last twenty seasons. So perhaps maybe the Arizona Cardinals can 775 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: be that next team. But again, Jacksonville at the Chiefs 776 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon. Kyle the other divisional game next weekend 777 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati at Buffalo. The Bengals beat the Ravens twenty four seventeen. 778 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 1: The Bills beat the Dolphins thirty four thirty one. Now 779 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: we get that matchup that we were anticipating on Monday night, 780 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: but tomorrow Hamlin situation, and now here we get it 781 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: in the divisional round on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, to me, 782 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: one of the big takeaways from last weekend because you know, 783 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: a lot of our conversation earlier was about Kyler Murray 784 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,919 Speaker 1: and how far he can take this team. The quarterback play, 785 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: I mean, even going to that Jacksonville game, when you 786 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: have a quarterback that throws four in receptions in the 787 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: first half, for him to bounce back the way he 788 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: did in the second half and lead his team back 789 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: to a victory, and then you look at I mean really, 790 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, with the exception of Brock Purty, who's been 791 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: playing beyond his years, beyond his draft position, these are 792 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: all quarterbacks that at one point in time, you know, 793 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: have been dynamic, that have led their teams and looked fantastic, 794 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: and all of them are playing at a really high 795 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: level right now. So you know, Drew talked about. That's 796 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: the big difference ahead coach can make. The continued development 797 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray is a good sign for this organization 798 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,919 Speaker 1: and has to be crucial because you look at particularly 799 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you need that guy behind center unless 800 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: you have an absolutely phenomenal defense. You know, the the 801 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: quarterback play this last weekend was phenomenal. Yeah, can you 802 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: overcome those mistakes? Lawrence four interceptions, finishes with four touchdowns. 803 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen picked off twice, fumbled three times, lost one 804 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 1: of those, but still able to get the job done 805 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: and get Buffalo into the next round. Talk about Brock Purty, 806 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 1: a rook heads yet to taste defeat in the National 807 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: Football League. He finished with four total touchdowns. Is the 808 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers beat the Seahawks forty one twenty three, 809 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: and now we'll take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon. Yeah. 810 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: You know, I think if you look at dak to, 811 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: everybody thought they were dead in the water, and he said, 812 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: you know what, I had to flush week eighteen. And 813 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: that's what good quarterbacks can do. They can compartmentalize, they 814 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: can do this. The one thing that really stuck out 815 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: to me this weekend is you look at quarterback plan 816 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: how important that is, and when you have turnovers in 817 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 1: the red zone, it absolutely kills you. And you look 818 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: at that and you know, quite honestly, from a true 819 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: assessment standpoint, I didn't think brock Party played that well 820 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: in the first half. He was off, he was missing throws, 821 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: he was doing stuff. And Kyle Shanahan does such a 822 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: good job of getting a quarterback comfortable. He did not 823 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: look comfortable, and that game was in the balance. And 824 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 1: then on third down, for whatever reason, Seattle decides to 825 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,919 Speaker 1: go empty and fumbles the ball, turn it over. They're 826 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,959 Speaker 1: out fourteen. They're done. At that point, Seattle is done. 827 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: Same thing last night in that game where you see 828 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: the red zone turnover time that Tom's turned the ball 829 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: over since twenty nineteen. It absolutely kills teams. And then 830 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: when you see the momentum just shift, it never gets 831 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: back in their direction. So Dallas is playing in good 832 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: football now. I think that's the Dallas team we expected 833 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 1: to see. This is going to be a great matchup. Obviously, 834 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about eight teams left in the playoffs, and 835 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: this is a very true test of what you can 836 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: bring to the table. But being able to weather that storm. 837 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,760 Speaker 1: Being able to deal with adversity and then get momentum 838 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: back in your favor is going to be huge because 839 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: everybody's sitting there saying, well, Philly, depending on what they 840 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: bring the table. They've already beaten the Giants two different times. 841 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: That leadership of Brian Dabele, the coach of the Year 842 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: in my opinion, is going to be on display comes 843 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 1: Saturday night because this is a different team that believes 844 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 1: in what they can do. They say it's always difficult 845 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,720 Speaker 1: to beat the same team three times in one season. 846 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: That's what the Eagles will look to do against the Giants. 847 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 1: That is the second game, the nightcap on Saturday, Giants 848 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: at the Eagles, Giants winning in Minnesota thirty one, twenty four. 849 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: We talk about quarterback quarterback play, Kyle, and you look 850 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 1: at Daniel Jones, written off, going to be out of 851 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: New York and maybe out of the league, those for 852 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: three hundred one yards and two touchdowns and has now 853 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 1: new life to where all right, you got a decision 854 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: to make if you're the Giants moving forward. Yeah, I 855 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: don't think they have a decision to make. He's playing 856 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 1: good football, you know, He's not only He's not only 857 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: throwing the ball well, but he's a big part of 858 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: the running game as well, and shows a level of 859 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: toughness that not allowed quarterbacks do in the NFL. So, 860 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited. This has already been such an 861 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: exciting weekend to playoff football, and I'm really looking forward 862 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: to the matchups this coming weekend. Any upsets are we going, chalc, 863 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: what what are we thinking? Real quick here? I don't know. 864 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 1: I like Dallas. I mean again, I think that San 865 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: Francisco just doesn't beat themselves, but if they get behind 866 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,839 Speaker 1: the eight ball, they're going to have a hard time 867 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: of just being a strictly dropped back team. I got chalk. 868 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 1: I really can't pick an upset this week. Kansas City's 869 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: winning it all. In my opinion, I think they're they're 870 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 1: too good. They're on a different level than everybody else. Well, 871 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens during the divisional round and then 872 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it here in one week time.
