Here's Dave Pash 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: and Aq Shipley. 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 3: If you have not been around a radio or television 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 3: for the last two and a half hours and turned 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 3: the game off and it was twenty one to three. 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 3: The finals twenty two to twenty one. The Titans win, 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 3: and the Cardinals led thanks to Marvin Harrison Junior with 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 3: a great catch on the opening drive of forty three 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 3: yard pass play that set up Michael Carter for a 14 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,959 Speaker 3: one yard run. Kyler Murray and Bam Knight each had 15 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 3: rushing touchdowns. Joey Slide a field goal with eight minutes 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 3: to go, and it was twenty one six and nobody 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: scored again until ten minutes to go in the fourth quarter. 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 3: Imari Demercato was about to score with twelve minutes and 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 3: fifty one seconds to go, but he dropped the ball 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: purposefully before he crossed the goal line, thinking that he 21 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: was already in the end zone. The ball went through 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 3: the end zone for a touchback, no score, Tennessee ball. 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: The Titans go down and score. Because it's twenty one 24 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: to six with an extra point, it's a one possession game. 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 3: They missed the extra point, so it's still a two 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 3: possession game. Twenty one to twelve. Tennessee gets the ball 27 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 3: back and they get inside the thirty and cam Ward 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 3: throws an interception. It's picked off by Rabbit at the 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: five yard line. He goes to the ground basically to 30 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: give himself up, but he's not touched. He fumbles the 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: ball into the end zone. Tyler Lockett recovers twenty one 32 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: to nineteen, and the Cardinals go quickly with about four 33 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: minutes to go. I think they got one first down, 34 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: then they punted. With two minutes to go, cam Ward 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: leads them down the field the big play to Ridley 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: to set them up for the game winning field goal 37 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: twenty two to twenty one. The final score. Three straight 38 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: losses for the Cardinals. Now, I don't even have to 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 3: ask you a Q. I had all these questions. I 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 3: have all these questions for JG. I don't really even 41 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: know what to say. I have been doing this twenty 42 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: four years. You've played in the league a long time. 43 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: You've been around this organization for a long time. It 44 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: to me, rivals what happened in two thousand and six 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: against the Bears. Different stakes, Monday night football, against the 46 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: team that would eventually go to the Super Bowl. This 47 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 3: is an zero to four Titan team that's about to 48 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: fire their coach. Completely different circumstances, but the blunders to 49 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: basically give a game away. It's been a long time 50 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: since I've witnessed something like this. 51 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 4: I agree, and I think the biggest thing that I 52 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 4: come away from this game. I always look for themes, right, 53 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 4: and the theme is finish. The theme is finished. It's 54 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 4: not just finish the game. It's finish the drive. When 55 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 4: you're down here on the twenty yard line and you 56 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 4: snap it early and it's finish the run by de 57 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 4: Mericado into the endzone. It's finished the first half. And 58 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 4: that has been the theme all season long. We've watched 59 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 4: this team have these leads and they don't put it away, 60 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: they don't keep their foot on the gas, they go 61 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: into conservative mode and they don't finish. So I think 62 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 4: if we're taking a theme not only for the season, 63 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 4: but specifically this game, it was all about finish the play, 64 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 4: finish the series, finish the half, finish the game, and 65 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 4: they didn't do any of it. 66 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 3: He had the snap that hit Kyler's face mask when 67 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 3: clearly he was not expecting the snap. The ball was 68 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: recovered by Tennessee. That was in the red zone. That 69 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: would have been more points. The Cardinals had opportunities, and 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: usually you say that that you have opportunities and it's 71 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 3: you struggle to finish the game. We'll get back to 72 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: that said, let's bring in Zae and Collins, Zave and 73 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: Dave pasch Aq Shipley. I don't know where to start 74 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: in terms of a question to ask you other than 75 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: what's thes and the reaction of the guys in the 76 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: locker room right now. 77 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the emotion as a wholes frustration. You know, 78 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: this is kind of is the third game where they 79 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: kick off the last couple of seconds have been a 80 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: walk off field goal. You know, I think I can't 81 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: I can't speak for the offense, but I can speak 82 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: for the defense. And just like we got to, you know, 83 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: execute the OLB room, the inside the D line room, 84 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: everyone as a defense as a hole, just execute a 85 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: little bit better on certain downs. We gave up some stuff, 86 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: you know, just minor things that compile into large things 87 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: that allow points on the board. You know, if they 88 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: don't score, they don't win. So it's one of those 89 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: type of deals that just compiling late late in drives 90 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: late in the game. And that's kind of what you 91 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: get is the scenario that just happened, Zavian. 92 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 4: You guys kept cam Ward in check for the first 93 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: three quarters and he was really not able to do 94 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 4: much of anything, and then all of a sudden he 95 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 4: explodes in the fourth quarter. 96 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: What changed? 97 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 4: What did he do differently? Did you guys do differently? 98 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: What happened? 99 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I had to look at the tape, 100 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: you know, I think, Uh, I'm not sure. I don't. 101 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: It's it's kind of a hard thing when you haven't 102 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: seen this hate yet. But uh, I think they were 103 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: just able to convert on some plays, make some catches. 104 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: You know, we were weren't getting to him as a 105 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: pass rush group affected me as much as we were. 106 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 2: That's all of us, included all of them men on 107 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: the field. That's that's really what it comes down to. 108 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: And then just being you know, your your brother's holding 109 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: you reliable out there, so you got to be able 110 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: to work for him, and DB's relying on us as 111 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: we are them, and it's kind of just back and forth. 112 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 2: We got to keep that throughout the game. 113 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: Savan. What was JG's message to you guys, What did 114 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: he have to say after the game? 115 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: You know, just we got to just keep going, keep 116 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: grinding and keep going, keep grinding and keep going. We 117 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 2: have to We have twelve weeks left or however many, 118 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: and we we got to just keep going. Get better tomorrow. 119 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 2: I'll learn from the tape, but there was definitely frustration. 120 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 3: Well not easy to talk about this and appreciate you 121 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: spending some time with us. I know probably the last 122 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: thing you want to do is talk about what you 123 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 3: just witness, but we appreciate your time, Davian, I appreciate 124 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: you guys. Thank you all right, Zavian Collins. Cardinals lose 125 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: twenty two to twenty one, and his reaction very understandable. 126 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: He's probably not the only one. AQ. I don't know 127 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: if you've ever been in a game like this where 128 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: you've been on the losing end. I'm sure you've been 129 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: in games at a point in the season where you're 130 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: getting booed like we saw here today and people are 131 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: counting you out. So what's the recipe to try to 132 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: keep things together? 133 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 4: I think there's so many cliche things you can say, 134 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 4: and coach is going to say exactly what he should say, 135 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: But it really comes down to the players. I think 136 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: it comes down to the players. I think it comes 137 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 4: down the coaches can only do so much for you. 138 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 4: They can only give you so much information, and then 139 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 4: it becomes about going out there and executing. And when 140 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 4: things like this happen over and over and over over 141 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 4: the last three weeks, I think everybody has to look 142 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 4: themselves in the mirror and then you have to polish 143 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 4: your rooms. I know that was a big thing of 144 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 4: all the coaches I played for. It's like, hey, if 145 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: you're a leader in the O line room, get your 146 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 4: group right. If you're a receiver room, get your group right. 147 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 4: And so if each group collectively by one person takes 148 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 4: hold of it and gets better and makes that group better, 149 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 4: and then you become better as a team, and I 150 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: think that's the biggest thing. And again that probably sounds 151 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 4: a little cliche, but it's the truth. 152 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: Look, this is a crossroads here for this season. You're 153 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: two and three, you just lost the game you had 154 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 3: in the bag, So now how do you handle it? 155 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: And how the Cardinals handle this week may determine how 156 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: the rest of the season goes, because you have two 157 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: right now playoff teams on your schedule before you go 158 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: to the buy. The Colts are four and one. Daniel 159 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 3: Jones has revived his career, they have a dominant run game, 160 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: they have a great back with Jonathan Taylor, and then 161 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: you have Jordan Love and Green Bay coming here. So 162 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 3: you go and you've got injuries as well, and more injuries. 163 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: Tip Ryman got her, Kyler Murray got hurt, went back 164 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: in the game. We still don't know exactly the deal 165 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: there with the foot, So I'm really curious how this 166 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: week of practice goes. This is where the leadership is tested. 167 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: This is where the coaching staff is tested. And this 168 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: is where you can't have and I know it's cliche, 169 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 3: but you can't have finger pointing and there are leaders 170 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 3: and this is where I'm sure Kalais Campbell is going 171 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: to be really vocal. But is this one where you 172 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: watch the tape? Do you spend time on what happened 173 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 3: here on the fourth quarter? Is this where you're saying, look, 174 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: this is where we made our mistakes. This is where 175 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: we got to be better. I mean, because some of 176 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: the mistakes were not oh we misaligned here on this 177 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: play or you ran the wrong route. No, it's a 178 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 3: guy dropping the ball at the one yard line because 179 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: he thinks he's in the end zone. It's another guy 180 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 3: not protecting the ball when he goes down to the 181 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 3: ground to give himself up. So how do you handle 182 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: that in terms of actually watching the film as a team? 183 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if this was week eleven or week twelve, 184 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 4: I think you throw the tape out and you just 185 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 4: keep it moving. I think. But because it's so early 186 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 4: in the season and these things are starting to show 187 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 4: up and pop up on tape over the last couple 188 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 4: of weeks, I think there's some teachable moments. I think 189 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 4: there is definitely a teachable moment on hey, let's secure 190 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 4: the ball and run through the end zone. Let's finish. 191 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 4: I think there's clearly that. But I think one of 192 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 4: the things that coach Cannon keeps emphasizing and keeps talking 193 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: about is the communication, right, Like whether it's quarterback receiver 194 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 4: on the same page, whether it's center quarterback on the 195 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 4: same page, whether it's centered down the line in the 196 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 4: run game, on the same page. You have to keep 197 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 4: hammering that until they stop showing up on tape. 198 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 3: I'm not going to name any names, but there are 199 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: teams that when something like this happens, a team will 200 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 3: release a player or do something to try to shake 201 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: it up, to show that they're not going to stand 202 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 3: for this. Would you be surprised if something like that 203 00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: happened this week. 204 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 4: No, I think all cards are on the table at 205 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 4: this point. I think, uh, you know the result. It's 206 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 4: a result driven business, and I think the results speak 207 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 4: for themselves over the last couple of weeks. I think 208 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 4: you look at it and you're two and oh, and 209 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: you feel pretty good about yourselves, and you didn't play 210 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 4: your best football through those two games, and then you 211 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 4: get through the next two and two really good teams 212 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: in the division, and you're two plays away from being 213 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: four and oh. But now the fact is it's results 214 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 4: driven and you're two and three. That's the reality. There's 215 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 4: no sugarcoat in that. And now you just lost to 216 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 4: the worst team in the National Football League, who hasn't 217 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 4: done anything against anybody all year. They were on the 218 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 4: verge of quitting. If you end up making that game 219 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 4: twenty eight to three, they probably roll over and lay 220 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: down for you and it ends up being a fifty 221 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 4: six to three game. 222 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: You're right. De Mercado scores or anybody scores before that. 223 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 3: It's all she wrote. That's how it felt, it's how 224 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: it looked. Even when it was fourteen to three in 225 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 3: the first quarter, it just did not look like Tennessee 226 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: wanted to be here. But it all changed, and who 227 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: knows where they go from here? And with a card 228 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 3: go from here. The Cardinals Locker Room Show is presented 229 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 3: by Tim Hoviog, santan Ford, and Gilbert right on the Price, 230 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 3: right on the corner of the santan two to two 231 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: Freeway and val Vista. So you look at the fourth quarter, 232 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 3: the Cardinals had ninety nine yards. Tennessee had two twelve. 233 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 3: They had thirteen first downs in the fourth quarter. The 234 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: Cardinals had just too As good as the defense was, 235 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 3: it wasn't in the fourth quarter. There were some positives, 236 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 3: and I know fans don't want to talk about that 237 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: right now, but we got a long way to go. 238 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 3: We got twelve games left. The run game. What did 239 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: you think about the Cardinals run game here today? 240 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 4: I thought it looked better. I thought it looked better 241 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 4: early on. I thought they got back to doing what 242 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: they were good at doing last year and it finally 243 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 4: showed up. I think they got back to running the 244 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 4: counters and the thirteen personnel and the twelve personnel. I 245 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,719 Speaker 4: thought Bam Knight showed some showed some juice in the 246 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 4: run game. I thought, down on the goal line, you know, 247 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 4: going big personnel and running some ISOs and scoring running 248 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 4: the football. Here's another thing we can talk about. They 249 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 4: scored on the opening possession. We haven't had that. I 250 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 4: think there's a positive you can take of this right 251 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: and when you look at some of those positives, you 252 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 4: have to take those positives. But you also, like I 253 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 4: said earlier, you got to look yourself in the mirror 254 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 4: and you've got to be very critical, overly critical moving forward. 255 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 4: I think I think that's the biggest thing. The other 256 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 4: thing we really can take a nice hard look at 257 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 4: is Marvin Harrison Junior. He's starting to show up. He's 258 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 4: starting to catch the ball. He goes up and high 259 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 4: points the ball, makes a big play using his hands. 260 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 4: Doesn't look like he's unsure of himself and trying to 261 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: catch with his body as much anymore. And you can 262 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 4: see that the guy that they drafted is in there 263 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 4: and he's starting to come out a little bit more 264 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 4: and more. 265 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 3: Finished with four catches ninety eight yards, but most of 266 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 3: that came in the first quarter. Had that forty three 267 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: yard catch, then you had the back shoulder for twenty yards, 268 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 3: a sixteen yard catch, and a nineteen in the fourth 269 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: or in the second half, so all catches over fifteen yards. 270 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 3: Did you notice because the Cardinals didn't really target him 271 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 3: much in the second half, did you notice if I 272 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 3: know you're watching everything, but could you see if Tennessee 273 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 3: was doing anything differently defending him or to the Cardinals 274 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: just not whether it's the play call or Kyler Murray 275 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: going through his progression, just not looking that way. 276 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 4: I think they went into pure shutdown mode. I think 277 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 4: they went into just being conservative and you know, running 278 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 4: the ball, running the ball, running the ball, and then 279 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 4: try and hit like something short or a wide receiver 280 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 4: screen or try and pick it up that way and 281 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 4: just kind of keep the clock moving, which they were 282 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 4: doing a good job of until they weren't right. And 283 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 4: then you know, even when we were talking about it, 284 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: when the Titans got the ball, how slow they were 285 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 4: getting to the ball whenever there was six minutes left 286 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 4: and they were still down two scores, and it just 287 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 4: worked out to perfection for them. Everything kind of worked 288 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 4: their way, and so I think the Cardinals just went into, Hey, 289 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 4: we're just going to kind of control the clock. We're 290 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: gonna do this. We're gonna do this, and if we 291 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 4: have to, we punt it and we play defense. But 292 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 4: then the mistakes happened, The penalties happened, the early snap happens, 293 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 4: the fumbled ball into the end right, all the things 294 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 4: just started compound. You can't even make the stuff up 295 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 4: that happened. If I told anybody on the street what 296 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 4: happened in the second half, there's no way they'd even 297 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 4: believe me. 298 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 3: It's true. That's why I compared it. And jim O Mahandro, 299 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: producer mentioned and he was there for it as well. 300 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 3: It felt like two thousand and six against the Bears 301 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 3: on Monday Night football. I think, Aq, you were still 302 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 3: at Penn State at that point, weren't you. I was 303 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: you might have even been like a freshman or a sophomore, 304 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 3: But I don't mean if you remember watching that game 305 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 3: on Monday Night football, but just the blunders. At least 306 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 3: that game, there were forced errors in that game. These 307 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: were unforced again the de Mercado won the rabbit turnover. Remarkable. 308 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 3: Never seeing I don't think ever in a long time 309 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 3: doing this, ever seen any kind of meltdown like this 310 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 3: where it was just unforced errors by the Cardinals that 311 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 3: led to touchdowns and eventually a lost twenty two to 312 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: twenty one is the final score. Tennessee sends the Cardinals 313 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: to two and three, and now you got the Colts. 314 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: So while we wait for JG who is now meeting 315 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: the media, I know you're watching all these teams. Give 316 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: me your thought some what you've seen from Indy so 317 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: far this year. Very good football team. 318 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 4: I mean that's a place where I played and really 319 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 4: got my start in the NFL. So I still pay 320 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 4: attention to those those guys in that city quite a bit. 321 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 4: I spent a lot of time there with the McAfee show. 322 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 4: I spent a lot of time watching them. I like 323 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 4: their group up front. I think they're a very good 324 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 4: offensive line. I think Daniel Daniel Jones has said quite 325 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 4: the resurgence, and I think Jonathan Taylor's is good of 326 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 4: a back and as good of a home run threat 327 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: as there is in this league. If he gets a 328 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 4: hole and he's got a chance to get to the 329 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 4: second level, there's a chance that goes fifty or sixty. 330 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 4: And you know when you look at that, and then 331 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 4: you take a look at Tyler Warren to do everything guy, 332 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 4: the rookie out of Penn State, he's been fantastic and 333 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 4: not only is he a tight end, he'll come in 334 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: and he'll take snaps under quarterback, he'll play full back, 335 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 4: he'll kind of do everything. Oh and let's flip over 336 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 4: to the other side of the ball. They got Grover Stewart, 337 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 4: who's one of the strongest nose guards I've ever played against. 338 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 4: And they got DeForest Buckner, who was a monster in 339 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 4: San Francisco on a mega deal out in Indianapolis. So 340 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: they got guys everywhere. That is a very good football team. 341 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 4: And if you do not show up on your a game, 342 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 4: what happened today can't happen. 343 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 3: Forty to six, And that again is going to be 344 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: This is a critical week, challenging the leadership, coaches and 345 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: players on how you respond because you're gonna have an 346 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 3: early game. It is a ten am body clock kick 347 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 3: in Indianapolis. You've played in those. I'm sure that it's 348 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 3: not fun waking up that early and trying to go 349 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 3: play football, but that's the reality. But yeah, if you 350 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 3: get down early, you could get boat raced. And that's 351 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 3: why this week again, Jonathan Gannon has shown that he's 352 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 3: a very good leader and that is going to be 353 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 3: challenged because you've got to get buy in and you've 354 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 3: got to have players that are all in too, and this 355 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: is really going to test the locker room. It is. 356 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 3: It's a crossroads that we haven't seen in a few years. Here. 357 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 4: You know who else is on that on that defensive 358 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 4: staff over there's James Betcher, which I always look at staffs, right, 359 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 4: I look at guys who used to coach places, and 360 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 4: will that game mean a little bit more? Former Cardinals 361 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: defensive course coordinator playing against his former team, Right. I 362 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 4: always look at those little storylines, and you know, they've 363 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 4: gotten really good. They got a ton of talent receiver. 364 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 4: That's a good football team that this Cardinals team's gonna 365 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 4: have to go play on the road. 366 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 3: You asked the question to Zavin. He didn't seem to 367 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 3: have an answer understandably. I mean, he's in the middle 368 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 3: of the game. He's not probably a time seeing the 369 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 3: ball being thrown down the field. To Ridley, He's worried 370 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 3: about his job, so he kept saying to go to 371 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 3: go back and watch the tape. You had a bird's 372 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 3: eye view of it. What changed defensively there for the 373 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 3: Cardinals in the fourth quarter. 374 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 4: Honestly nothing. It's just the fact that cam Ward, instead 375 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 4: of being inaccurate, decided to make some plays, and I 376 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 4: think they opened the run game up a little bit more. 377 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 4: I think when you're down and you're behind twenty one 378 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 4: to six and even twenty one to three, you abandon 379 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 4: that run game. Now you start getting into throwing the 380 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 4: ball almost every down. Teams can tee off on you, 381 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 4: and if you're not accurate, now it ends up being 382 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 4: three and out, three and out, three and out. And 383 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 4: that's what you That's what you saw in the third quarter, 384 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 4: in the second quarter, right and then they start opening 385 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 4: the run game because some of these penalties that kept 386 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 4: them in it, and they feel like, hey, we still 387 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 4: got a chance here. There's only a two possession game. 388 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 4: Two possession game with twelve minutes left in the game 389 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 4: is an eternity you got all the time in the 390 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 4: world with your whole playbook. They start hitting some runs, 391 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 4: they start hitting some short passes. Then he hits the 392 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 4: big one to Ridley, confidence right, and then he goes completion, completion, completion, 393 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 4: and then now we got a chance again. After another mistaker, 394 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 4: they punished the ball back and then he drops the 395 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,479 Speaker 4: ball in a bucket, and now we're back in it, 396 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 4: and we got everything in front of us. 397 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 3: There are a couple throws that looked like his arm 398 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: was partially hit, maybe even just slightly, and the ball 399 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 3: still found the receiver's hands. The one to Gunner Helm 400 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 3: ball looked like a punt, and I don't know how. 401 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: We would love to get a replay that they didn't 402 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: show us. One would love to see exactly what happened. 403 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: But somehow that ended up being a great catch by 404 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 3: helm which led to a touchdown. You mentioned the run game, 405 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: Pollot ended up with the average in about five yards 406 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 3: of carry fourteen attempts, sixty seven yards in a touchdown. 407 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley finishes with five catches for one hundred and 408 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 3: thirty one yards. He was quiet because cam Ward couldn't 409 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: complete a pass, but he was quiet for three and 410 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 3: a half quarters. And you look at the stats, you 411 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 3: see five grabs for one thirty one. 412 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, and Oconquo ended up coming alive in the second 413 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 4: half too. And I think the one thing I thought 414 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 4: was going to be the strength going into this game 415 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 4: for them was their offensive line, and I think they were. 416 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 4: I think for the most part, they did a really 417 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 4: good job against the Cardinals pass rush whenever they only 418 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 4: rushed four. And it starts with Scarronsky, it starts with 419 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 4: Kevin Zeitler, it starts with Cushion Berry, who they bring 420 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 4: over as a center from Denver. And they've paid everybody 421 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 4: right the JC Latham, the right tackle was out today. 422 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,239 Speaker 4: He's another first rounder, Dan Moore, they've paid, So that 423 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 4: entire offensive line is an investment to that team. They're 424 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 4: all paid and they're all first rounders, and so I 425 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 4: think they they leaned on those guys today when things 426 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 4: got muddy, and I think in the end they held 427 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 4: up in protection for the most part. 428 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: Final score twenty t two twenty one Tennessee beats Arizona. 429 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 3: Jeffrey Simmons had a sack and a half and one 430 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 3: of the things that he was good even on those 431 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 3: first two drives, he made a couple of plays, but 432 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: it really felt like one of the reasons the Cardinals 433 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 3: offense just got stuck was because we kept calling his name, 434 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 3: either in the run or with pressure on Kyler Murray. 435 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 4: He's one of those guys, and to me, it's different 436 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 4: because he plays on the inside to the guy I'm 437 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 4: gonna compare him to. But at Jadeveon Clowney right, like 438 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 4: he's a guy. If you look at Jadeveon Clowney over 439 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 4: the course of his career, when Jadevion was in his prime, 440 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 4: he was not getting fifteen sacks a year, but he 441 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 4: was disrupting every play. And that's what Jeffrey Simmons does. 442 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 4: He's strong at the point of attack, he's making one 443 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 4: arm tackles. In the backfield, he's beating up your guards, 444 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 4: and then whenever it comes to the pass game, he's 445 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 4: causing pressure on every single play, even if it's not 446 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 4: crazy statistical game. If he doesn't have three sacks, if 447 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 4: he only has a half a sack and three ten 448 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 4: it's Chris Jones right, He's disrupting the entire game. 449 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 3: He's spectacular and I'll be curious to see what Tennessee 450 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 3: does from here. Is this a game that propels them 451 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 3: to bigger things? They still got a long ways to go. 452 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: Cam Ward's got obviously played better, but to win a 453 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 3: game like this where it looked like not only the 454 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 3: game was over early, but maybe their season, for all 455 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 3: intents and purposes, was over early, and maybe the coaching 456 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 3: tenure of Brian Callahan is over. If this gets ugly, 457 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 3: it all may have just changed. We're gonna hear from 458 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 3: JG shortly. He just stepped away from meeting with the medium. 459 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 3: We'll get him in here to break down what we 460 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 3: just witnessed. But final score Tennessee twenty two, Arizona twenty one. 461 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 3: Cardinals lose their third straight game and a walk off 462 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 3: field goal, and now we'll have to try to find 463 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: a way to regroup and rebound from this game before 464 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 3: or they hit the road for Indie against a very 465 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: good Colts team. Then it's the Packers at home in 466 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: two weeks before the bye, and the Cardinals had the lead. 467 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 3: It was twenty one to three early in the second quarter. 468 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 3: Tennessee kicked a field goal with eight minutes to go 469 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: to make a twenty one six and nobody scored again 470 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 3: until the fourth quarter, and that's when it all went 471 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 3: wrong and coach Ganner's with us Dave pash a Q 472 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 3: Shipley JG. I had a bunch of questions to ask you, 473 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: and a lot of it changed in the fourth as 474 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: you've kind of been able to think through all that 475 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 3: went wrong. Where do you think it started for your team? 476 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah? 477 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I mean, you know, the we 478 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 5: just you know, in the second half there we were 479 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 5: rolling pretty good all three phases. In the second half, 480 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 5: it was just kind of a you know, it's just 481 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 5: bad coaching and playing. I mean, that's what it comes 482 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 5: down to. Sloppy mistakes. And give them credit, they made 483 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 5: more plays than us, but you know, our guys know, like, 484 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 5: you got to execute through sixty minutes and make plays, 485 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 5: and we did not do that tonight. 486 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 4: Coach, with the fumble out the back of the end 487 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 4: zone and some of the other things, whether it's communication 488 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 4: to the penalties, is there a way to work on 489 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 4: avoiding those? 490 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 491 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 5: I mean we we definitely, I feel like we're shooting 492 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 5: ourselves in the foot too much right now. So you know, 493 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 5: whether I gotta you know, we got to look at 494 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 5: a couple different ways to your right, AQ, like we 495 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 5: have to clean those up because you know, aside from play, 496 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 5: making plays and and and doing those things within a 497 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 5: game to put games away, we're just not focused in 498 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 5: like we need to be for sixty minutes and we're 499 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 5: shooting literally we're shooting ourselves in the foot. And you're 500 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 5: not going to win a game if you do that. 501 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 3: JJ, what did you tell the team after the game 502 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 3: in the locker room? 503 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 5: It's never about one play, but we need to we 504 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 5: we have to when we come back to work tomorrow, 505 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 5: maximize every every second that we're in there, uh, and 506 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 5: make sure we're on the d details of everything that's 507 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 5: being asked and we're coaching the details right and putting 508 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 5: together a performance of four quarters collectively to win a game, 509 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 5: because we have not done that. And you know, I 510 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 5: know what the record is, but in my mind, we 511 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 5: haven't done that through five weeks. So we you know, 512 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 5: we got to look at that, like, you know, you're 513 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 5: not going to win if you play a good quarter, 514 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 5: a good half, good three quarters, Like you have to 515 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 5: be able to put games away and execute and make 516 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 5: plays when when the time comes. 517 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 4: You just said it about three quarters basically, right, cam 518 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 4: Ward was held in check for the whole first three 519 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 4: quarters and then kind of explodes in the fourth quarter. 520 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 4: What did he do differently or did you guys do 521 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 4: anything differently? What did you see there? 522 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you know, I felt 523 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 5: like we're affecting him pretty good there early, and then 524 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 5: you know, we're playing a couple of different structures that 525 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 5: he found some soft spots to hit a couple explosive plays. 526 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 3: You know. 527 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 5: Again, it's just kind of like the same thing, like 528 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 5: we got to make sure that for four quarters we 529 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 5: apply pressure to the quarterback, affect him as I would say, 530 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 5: make sure we're covering the right way, defending the right way, 531 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 5: you know. And even the last drive there, it's like 532 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 5: we know where the line was, and you know, we 533 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 5: give up kind of in my mind, a little bit 534 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 5: of a cheap one for Chaprs to get a first 535 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 5: down and then they hit an explosive and the game's over. 536 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 5: So we just got to do a better job of 537 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 5: rushing cover and in those situations. 538 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 3: Coach, on the positive side, the offense looks really good 539 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 3: early on. What went right for you guys offensively in 540 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 3: the first time. 541 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just told the media that pass. I agree, Like, 542 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 5: were running the ball pretty good, We're generating explosive plays, 543 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 5: We're staying on the field, dirt down, we weren't fouling, 544 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 5: not giving up sacks, you know, and we're you know 545 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 5: that leads to being able to score points. 546 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 2: You know. 547 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 5: I thought the one, the one kind of the back 548 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 5: and forth with the takeaway on defense, and then we 549 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 5: punched that in for seven, like it was going pretty 550 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 5: good there and then we just we didn't do enough 551 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 5: after that to put any more points on the board. 552 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 3: Marvin Anderson Junior gets off to a great start, only 553 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 3: one catch in the second half. Did Tennessee do anything 554 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 3: different defensively to take that away? 555 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 5: And you know he's they started playing a little more shell. 556 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 5: But we still got to find ways to get the 557 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 5: ball to our playmakers and generate some plays, some efishing 558 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 5: plays in the past game to move the ball down 559 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 5: the field. 560 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 4: We keep talking about finishing, You keep talking about it, right, 561 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 4: Are you seeing anything whenever you guys get these leads 562 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: where you take the foot off the gas or is 563 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 4: it more compounded by mistakes and penalties? 564 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 5: Honestly, a Q. I think we you know, I think 565 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 5: we're they're they're trying. You know, that comes into coaching 566 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 5: to me, that that part of it. We got to 567 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 5: make sure that we're putting them in the right spots. 568 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 5: They're psychologically trained for that, which we've we've talked about that, 569 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 5: but I just got to do a better job to 570 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 5: make sure that everybody understands the mission statement. When we're 571 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 5: up in game, what needs to happen to close out 572 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 5: the game? 573 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: Do you know anything more on Tip Ryman? 574 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 5: And I don't pass. I know he had kind of 575 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 5: an ankle or a knee. Looked like his foot got 576 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 5: stuck in the ground. I don't know what happened there. 577 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 5: Who else were you gonna ask? 578 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: I was gonna ask two about Jalen Thompson went down 579 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 3: there late. 580 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I haven't heard anything about him. I know Cody 581 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 5: Simon went out with a knee, and then Kyler went 582 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 5: out with his foot, but then he returned. So I'm 583 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 5: sure we'll have some bumps and bruises tomorrow. 584 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 3: All right, coach, appreciate it, Okay, thank you guys, Be safe, 585 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 3: all right. Jonathan Gannon, Cardinal's head coach, and understandably frustrated, 586 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 3: and like I'm sure everybody in that room searching for answers, 587 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 3: understandably because some of the stuff that happened today you 588 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 3: see maybe once every season. Rarely do you see it 589 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 3: twice in a game or twice in a quarter. And 590 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 3: I'm speaking specifically about the de Mercado play and then 591 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 3: again what happened with Taylor Demerson intercepting the pass, fumbling 592 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 3: it and then it being recovered for a touch. So 593 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 3: the Cardinal's got a regroup and JG said that. You know, 594 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 3: his message was pretty simple, like we got to stay 595 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 3: with it four quarters. And I don't know what else 596 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 3: he's supposed to say. I mean, I know fans want 597 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 3: to hear more, they want to hear I'm sure they 598 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 3: want to hear players' names being mentioned, but it's not 599 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 3: going to happen. And so I'm sure there were things 600 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 3: being said behind closed doors that are not going to 601 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 3: be repeated by the head coach. And that's not his job. 602 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 3: His job is to protect his team, not lose his team. 603 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 3: There's still twelve games left. 604 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt. I mean, listen, there's still plenty 605 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 4: of time left, and you can still write this ship 606 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 4: there's no question about it. The disheartening thing is the 607 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 4: fact that you lose a game you should have won, 608 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 4: and you were in two others that had every opportunity 609 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 4: to win. This season could very simply look like five 610 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 4: and oh, very simply if you look at every game 611 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 4: so far, and we talk about all the time, you 612 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 4: got to win the games you're supposed to win, you 613 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 4: got to steal some on the road, you got to 614 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 4: win your home games. And today they lost to a 615 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 4: team that they should have beaten, and it was a 616 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 4: home loss. I mean, just two things to kind of 617 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 4: jump up and bite you all, right. 618 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 3: Final score Tennessee twenty two Cardinals twenty one, blowing an 619 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 3: eighteen point lead and losing at home to fall to 620 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 3: two and three. Our executive producer is jim O Mahandro, 621 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 3: Associate producer Cody Fincher, Engineers Walt Ellis and Jason Ellis, 622 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 3: Technical director Ali Narini and Ryan Sikora in the studio 623 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 3: coordinator Jamal Gumo. Our spotter is Miguel Reese, Statistician Kurk Zacher, 624 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 3: Kraik Grierlun Frank Sanders up next with Cardinal Talk. I'm 625 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 3: sure there will be zero phone calls about what was 626 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 3: just witnessed here in the second half. But take it 627 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 3: easy on those guys. They're they're just the messengers. Don't 628 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 3: shoot them. They're just talking about what they saw as well. 629 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 3: But obviously and understandably a lot of Cardinal fans will 630 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 3: be upset over what took place here today, and they're 631 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 3: certainly not alone. Final score twenty two twenty one for 632 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 3: a Q Shipley and Danny Surrect Dave Pash, I'm saying 633 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 3: so long.
