Speaker 4: The first things first, everyone enjoy the Labor Day weekend,

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 4: maybe the final weekend of Well, looking at you, Zoe,

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 4: You've like yep, Nope, didn't have any time off. Got

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: stuff going on every single day for me though, I mean,

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 4: this is the first two days in a row that

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: I got off, well, probably until February.

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 5: Well, I was gonna say something quite different, because I

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 5: can take any time I want to take it. I'm retired,

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 5: you know, so if I want to take next week off,

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 5: I'll just stop working to take next week off. I

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 5: don't have any real commitments, but you know, coaching, I'm

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 5: always doing something with the kids. We actually went over

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 5: to the Wigwam and hung out a little bit over there.

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 5: My son had to get some treatment, so we wanted

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 5: to stay local, but got a chance to play a

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: little golf, getting the pool, hang out, relax, watch Cow

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: beat down Oregon State. So I was.

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, Syracuse, syracuseten uphold the the acc.

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: For sure didn't didn't show up a little bit of

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: a struggle in Atlanta against Tennessee.

37
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 6: But it's good to be your own boss, is what

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 6: Zoe says. It's good to be your own boss, you know,

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 6: except when there's an alignment are in week one, like

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 6: we just had mental air by yours truly, I was

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 6: in the wrong spot and so you know, we had

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 6: to call a timeout and we had to burn a

43
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 6: time out in the first half out of the gate.

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 6: Not good, but those kind of mistakes happened in week one.

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 6: Better to happen before the regular season begins for all

46
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 6: than you know, it's darn tute, and you know this

47
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 6: is the week to make it happen, because you know,

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 6: I'm not really feeling the Saints this year. We'll see,

49
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 6: We'll see what the Superdome is all about. We get it,

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 6: it's loud, there's gonna be communication issues. But a young quarterback,

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 6: Pinnacle High School's own Spencer Rattler against this defense and

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 6: the scheme itself, I'm curious to see how that plays

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 6: out on paper.

54
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it certainly sounds it certainly looks like the Cardinals

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 4: have every advantage. But Week one overall zoo for players

56
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: and the excitement level because it's the only time in

57
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: which you're focused on one game for an extended period

58
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: of time. No one likes to look ahead to two, three, four,

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: But Week one has been on that been on that

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: calendar for a while. And now out here you are.

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: You were on the practice field, Cardinals were on the

62
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 4: practice field a bonus practice day on Mondays. So here

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 4: we are a little extra time to prep for Week one.

64
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's it's kind of a double edged short

65
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 5: when you think about it, because a lot of the

66
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: starters and the coordinators.

67
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 7: Especially when you go.

68
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 5: Into that last preseason game, they're not even watching any

69
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 5: film or doing anything that pertains to that game at all.

70
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 5: They're actually on to the New Orleans Saints probably a

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 5: week and a half ago. And so sometimes you know,

72
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: you know, you can overanalyze stuff, do too much work.

73
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: I think I heard JG kind of talk about that, right, Hey, man,

74
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 5: get your work done. Don't try to go back, you know,

75
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: four or five years of what the Saints did, right,

76
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 5: because you can get lost in the sauce with all

77
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 5: that stuff and paralysis by analysis.

78
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 7: But you are excited.

79
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 5: You get to kind of cut the fat out of

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: the playbook and really study what they do and attack

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 5: their weaknesses. And so I'm really interested in that, especially

82
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: when you think about an old line that has a

83
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 5: lot of tanle, lot of first rounders, but they are

84
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 5: you know, kind of unproven in a lot of ways.

85
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: And so you know Nick Rollis and his defensive line

86
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 5: being able to really take advantage of them and really

87
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 5: quiet that Super Dome early. I think it is going

88
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 5: to be really advantaged in his Cardinals team.

89
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 6: On his TV show this week, I mentioned how the

90
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 6: schedule came out in early May and that Gannon's staff

91
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 6: had probably been game planning ever since. And I kind

92
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 6: of smiled like it was a joke, and Gannon just

93
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 6: dead stared me. He's like, so, I'm guessing they have been.

94
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 6: They've been game planning since probably May for this thing

95
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 6: for sure.

96
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 5: I mean, you just have so much timing coaches. That's

97
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: a coach move. That's just what they do. They can't

98
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 5: help themselves as much as they want to.

99
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 6: And they know Kellen Moore, they know his system. Gannon

100
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 6: knows him real well. He was a DC in Dallas

101
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 6: when Kellen Moore was in Philly, when Kellen Moore was

102
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 6: in Dallas. He knows Brandon Staley from his Chargers days

103
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 6: and before that that one year with the Rams. So

104
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 6: there's plenty of film. There's a lot of these aren't unknowns,

105
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 6: even their new coaches and new coordinators, new play callers.

106
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 6: There's lots to go on, and I'm sure Cardinals coaches

107
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 6: have been doing it for months now.

108
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: Well, speaking the Cardinals head coach Jonathan Again, let's hear

109
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: from Jag on this first week and the mindset going

110
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 4: into the regular season opener.

111
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 8: You know, we got to take care of us. You know,

112
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 8: it's the team that typically makes the least amount of

113
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 8: mistakes wins week one. A lot of known unknowns, and

114
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 8: we just got to handle us good coaching staff, they

115
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 8: have good players, so we got to be on top

116
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 8: of it.

117
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 4: A lot of weird stuff happens in week one, especially

118
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: with teams maybe that don't play a lot in the preseason,

119
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: because now, all of a sudden, players are getting tackled

120
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: to the ground for the first time, they're really getting hits,

121
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: and sometimes you have that overreaction Monday, Hey you lost

122
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: or you won big, and then all of a sudden,

123
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: that's kind of an outlier for what the rest of

124
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: the regular season tells you.

125
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's because generally speaking, the first four weeks

126
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 5: comes down to fundamentals. That's always the core of winning footballs,

127
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 5: but more so football games more but more so in

128
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 5: the first four weeks is blocking, tackling, execution right, and

129
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 5: not beating yourself with penalties in turnover, those type of

130
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 5: things because you don't really have you have an idea

131
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 5: what people like to run historically what they like to do,

132
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 5: but obviously over the course of a season, offensive lines progress,

133
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 5: defensive players step up, quarterbacks play better or less than

134
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 5: what you think about. Right, you start getting the idea

135
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: of really what a coordinator is going to be for

136
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: that particular season based on their personnel, and then you

137
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 5: really get to start dialing in schematically, like how I'm

138
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 5: going to attack a team on third down or in

139
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 5: the red zone on the green zone. But the first

140
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 5: four weeks it's all about the fundamentals of the game

141
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 5: and making sure that you play the longest or the hardest,

142
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 5: the longest and the smartest throughout the four quarters, and

143
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 5: that typically what's gonna be the tipping scales in the game.

144
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,679
Speaker 6: I just Scannon or is there anything specific to Week

145
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 6: one that always concerns a head coach. The first thing

146
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 6: you mentioned was tackling, Like you just said right there.

147
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 6: I mean, historically, how many times did we come out

148
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 6: a Week one said, man, the tackling was atrocious, the

149
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 6: open field tackling. But based on the preseason though, I

150
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 6: would say we didn't really talk about it a lot.

151
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 6: There weren't a lot of times where we cited poor tackling. Now,

152
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 6: you know the Buddha Bakers and Jalen Thompson's in the world,

153
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 6: they can fall out of bed and they can make

154
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 6: an open field tackle, but maybe some of the younger guys,

155
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 6: I don't know.

156
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it comes down the angle. Sometimes you may

157
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 5: it may not count as a mistackle because you never

158
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: touch a guy right, but you may take poor angles.

159
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 5: And I saw that from some of the young guys.

160
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 5: And that's the biggest difference. And also, now you're playing

161
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: the top tier. You're playing the starter sort of running

162
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 5: back right. You're not just playing all right, You're not

163
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: just playing the regular guy trying to make the team.

164
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: You're playing an all pro player. Which that's the biggest

165
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 5: difference in the talent level and the speed of the game.

166
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 5: And now you're thinking, now it means something. All these

167
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 5: other factors come into play, and now you have to

168
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 5: now be physical with typically wanes when you're thinking too much.

169
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 4: Calender says it's week one. Another indication that week one

170
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: is here well when the captains get announced and JG

171
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: on Monday announced that there are seven team captains compared

172
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: to four last season. Here they are on offense, Kyler Murray,

173
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 4: James Conner, yell At A Froholt, defense, Booda Baker, Kaleis Campbell,

174
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 4: Mac Wilson, senior special teams, Joey Blunt getting the nods,

175
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: so sixth straight year for Kyler and James, sixth time

176
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: in Kalais's career that he gets the C on his jersey.

177
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: Speaking of Kallas, but we hear from the eighteen year

178
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: veteran on being a named a team captain.

179
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 9: I was surprised, you know, I just didn't expect it,

180
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 9: you know, but very grateful. I was able to earn

181
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 9: the respect of my parents for the devoting captain, you know,

182
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 9: and then then it was just like, I gotta live

183
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 9: up to it. I gotta be worthy, you know. And

184
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 9: that's that's the most important part, you know, It's being

185
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 9: a captain every day and representing, you know, this team

186
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 9: at the highest level and making sure that we are

187
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 9: you know, we're doing what we're supposed to do them.

188
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: See. I would have been surprised if Kalais wasn't raamed

189
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: a Sea captain exactly.

190
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's a that's a what is what

191
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 7: is wolf say? Talking? Medium right class? Knew he's gonna

192
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 7: be a captain.

193
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 5: Man, He'd been the league too long not to be,

194
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: I mean, and guys already grabbed to him. It wasn't

195
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 5: a shock or surprise to anybody, but maybe maybe him

196
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: because he's a humble guy.

197
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 7: But you know, it's a lot.

198
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 5: That's a lot of guys, seven guys, and I guess

199
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 5: probably it comes down to ties the way coaches doing

200
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: and you want those guys out there. But every one

201
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 5: of those guys are dudes that you want to be

202
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 5: able to follow into a game. And we used to

203
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 5: always say this, you know, before we voted, at least

204
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: I used to make sure, Ay, this is not a

205
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: popularity contest, right, It's not who gets paid the most,

206
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 5: it's not necessarily even your best player. You as a coach,

207
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: you want those guys that get paid the most, your

208
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: best players right to be your captains because you want

209
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: them to embody the culture. But it comes down to, ay,

210
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 5: how do you show up every day? That's Kalay has mentioned, right?

211
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 7: Are you? Are you working hard? You selfless? Are you grinding?

212
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 10: Right?

213
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 5: Are you out there being a key contributor to what

214
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: we're trying to do. And obviously Class has done that

215
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 5: a very long time, and other guys on that as well,

216
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 5: And so I'm excited to see what this leadership brings

217
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 5: and how they sustain that throughout the entire season.

218
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 6: It was amazing to her. Darius Robinson last week say

219
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 6: that Kalayis is already the best teammate he's ever had

220
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 6: and he's only been here a few months. That I mean,

221
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 6: that's just evidence of the leadership. And he also added, yeah,

222
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 6: when we watch film, Kalais is also brutally honest. I'll

223
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 6: come up with a theory or an observation and Clais say, no,

224
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 6: that's wrong, and let me tell you why.

225
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 7: Right right, right, yeah, yeah, And that's what you want.

226
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 5: I mean, a guy that's dropping knowledge and not making

227
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 5: the excuses, being accountable and going to hold everybody else

228
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 5: to that same standard and probably hisself more than others.

229
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 5: And that's that's that's the leader. And Klais happens to

230
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 5: be one of their best players. And I don't know

231
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: what his contract is, but traditionally, over the course of

232
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 5: his career is also one of the guys that gets

233
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 5: paid the most. And that's what you want as a coach.

234
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 5: That's Oh, I want that guy on my team because

235
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 5: he's a force multiplier. Outside of what he brings, he

236
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 5: makes everybody else around us better as well.

237
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: Great article on easy Cardinals dot Com, written by Darren

238
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: urban On kalais the full circle moments for him coming

239
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: back into this building after being gone for several years.

240
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 4: But his career began here, maybe it ends here this

241
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 4: season next season. He's been talking about retirement for the

242
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: last several seasons, so who knows how long we'll see

243
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: number ninety three on the football field.

244
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 6: By the way, trivia question, how many team captains can

245
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 6: you send out for the coin toss before the game?

246
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 6: Six that's the max, and you can send up to six,

247
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 6: so there will be one guy out man out every week.

248
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: You're gonna keep track of that.

Speaker 3: He got a touchdown.

262
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: What a catch, Marvin Harrison Junior, big time?

263
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 11: Oh my goodness, there it is the explosive from eighteen.

264
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: Wide receiver screen over the middle.

265
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: Cluck By George in the twenty got the first out

266
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: of the ten and the five fit of the ends

267
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: up in the touchdown. Greg George to catch and run

268
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: on burd and long a twenty three yard scar.

269
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: That was so nasty right there to Greg George.

270
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: Now a lop near side. Poor mccride in the corner

271
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: mixed the catch for the touchdown.

272
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 11: Ah, that was greasy good right there from Kyler Burray.

273
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: So in year three, what is this offense going to

274
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: look like? Petsing the offensive coordinator Kyler Murray together. Third

275
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: year Kyler's seventh year overall, coming off one of his

276
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: bets seasons as far as numbers in his career, almost

277
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: sixty nine percent completion percentage, twenty one touchdown passes. But

278
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: what we hear all off season though, is doing on

279
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 4: a consistent basis and doing the boring on a consistent basis,

280
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 4: and it's okay not to be Superman every single week.

281
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's what's gonna come down to. I think

282
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 5: they're gonna take another step forward, you know, the way

283
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 5: I've been looking at this since you know, Kyler has

284
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 5: made that shifts and coming back from the injury, really

285
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 5: having a full season last year under this Drew Pensing offense,

286
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 5: and really getting the continuity together, right, having some new

287
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 5: pieces last year. Now coming into this season having matured

288
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 5: in a lot of ways, as he's going forward, I'm

289
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 5: thinking that he's gonna take that next step. And that

290
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 5: next step isn't more yards or more touchdowns. The next

291
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: step is being decisive and making the best decision for

292
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 5: the moment. Right when we think about some of those

293
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 5: games last year where this offense may have sputtered out

294
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 5: and came down to maybe a critical turnover or poor

295
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 5: decision or not the best decision, right, and it happened

296
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 5: so fast, and so that's where I want to see

297
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 5: this happen. And then we saw a little, at least

298
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 5: one glimpse of MHJ catching the rock right with his

299
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 5: hands over the middle bringing it back into his body.

300
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 5: If that happens this this office is gonna be real

301
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 5: scary because I'm not worried about the run game. Connors Benson, right,

302
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: de Mercardo, those guys are going to carry the load

303
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 5: and really lead from the front in that aspect play action.

304
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 5: We know what Trey McBride is gonna bring. He's gonna

305
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 5: score way more touchdowns this year, guaranteed. Right, We're not

306
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: gonna be waiting a week. I don't know what wee

307
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 5: cold happen, right, right man? When is it gonna happen?

308
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 5: That's that's an outlier type season, and so MSJ coming on.

309
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: I really think this offense has the ability to really

310
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 5: be h consistent throughout the whole entire season. But it's

311
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: really gonna come down to you know, k one really

312
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: making those decisions and the critical moments.

313
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 7: That's going to be the difference maker.

314
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 6: I mean, think about it. The chemistry between Kyler and

315
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 6: Trey McBride. We all witnessed it. We don't need numbers

316
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 6: to back it up, but I'm gonna give you one anyway,

317
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 6: because next Gen Stats said last season they had this

318
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 6: six best completion percentage quarterback to target in the NFL

319
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 6: seventy five percent. If all of a sudden, Kyler and

320
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 6: Marvin Irrison Junior can get anywhere near that can just

321
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 6: elevate last season. What does that do for this offense?

322
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 6: What does Trey McBride getting in the end zone via

323
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 6: the pass, not just recovering a fumble or a touchdown run?

324
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 6: All right? What does that do for this offense? I

325
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 6: think there are some easy areas where they can get

326
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 6: a lot better. They can put a lot more points

327
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 6: on the board. And it involves Trey McBride in the

328
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 6: red zone, and it involves Marvin Irrison Junior, who led

329
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 6: the NFL last year in tight window targets. So if

330
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 6: you can a get more separation, b get his hands

331
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 6: away from his body, make those contested catches with more regularity,

332
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 6: and you know you have the run game and it

333
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 6: might be better than ever if it's a one to

334
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 6: two punch with James Connor and Trey Benson. To me,

335
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 6: that's the key. Can you do that with Marvin Arison Junior?

336
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 6: And then what does that do for this offense?

337
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 4: It comes down to it sounds simple, but the passing game.

338
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: Can the passing game take the next step because you

339
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 4: mentioned it though we know this team can run. Now

340
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: it's can you throw on a consistent basis? Can you

341
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: have some more explosive plays, shorter scoring drives so you're

342
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: making fewer mistakes, fewer takeaways, fewer giveaways. And then all

343
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: of a sudden, now you've you're getting into the end

344
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 4: zone just a little bit more. So, your points per

345
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: game increases, touchdown passes increases, maybe from twenty one to

346
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: maybe twenty eight, twenty nine, you get close to that

347
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: thirty mark, and all of a sudden, Okay, now this

348
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: offense is humming, both on the ground and through the air.

349
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they have that ability, you know.

350
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 5: Obviously got to see what some of the young guys

351
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 5: we have in the offensive line them stepping in and

352
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 5: think about Adams, how they hold up as well, and

353
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 5: being consistent there, because that's the driver for all of this,

354
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: being having having healthy guys throughout the throughout the year.

355
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 5: Obviously losing a guy like Will hern Andez in the

356
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 5: middle of the year last year hurt, right, and so

357
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 5: we can have continuity there, then it allows everything else

358
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 5: to thrive, right, starting with the running game to play action,

359
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 5: and I really believe in Marve. I don't and I

360
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 5: don't necessarily even think he has to create more separation.

361
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 5: It's really hard, you know, in these next year and stats,

362
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: the separation is crazy.

363
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 7: When you actually look at him, it's you know, two.

364
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 5: Point two yards or two point three yards, right, And

365
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 5: in the grand scheme of things, I really can't tell

366
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 5: the difference when we're playing at a full.

367
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 7: Speed but making those catches.

368
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 5: I think with the bigger size, bigger body, the confidence

369
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 5: right now, playing faster because he's not thinking about what

370
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 5: he does, and by the end of it, he's mentally drank.

371
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 5: So now he's maybe dropping a ball or short arm

372
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 5: of the ball, He's going to be able to finish

373
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 5: those plays off, and I think that's going to be

374
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: the biggest difference, especially with that bigger size. It is

375
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: going to be really harder for guys to yank them

376
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 5: arms down, and he's going to be able to play

377
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 5: through contact better.

378
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 4: Leading the offense. Kyler Murray year three, within this offense,

379
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: year seven overall, where has he evolved the most as

380
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 4: a quarterback?

381
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 10: Earlier in this you know your years, the game's obviously

382
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 10: moving a little faster. I've said it, you know, I

383
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 10: think now for me seeing damn near every defense I

384
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 10: could possibly see. You know, the game's just slowed down

385
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 10: for me. Obviously, this is year three in the system

386
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 10: with Drew, so I know what he wants, he knows

387
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 10: what I like, vice versa. And then we got, like

388
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 10: I said, we got the guys, trade Mar Grortsch, Mike All,

389
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 10: He's got JC. All these guys have been here. So

390
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 10: that's just something we got to keep building a.

391
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 4: Pung one thing to say it, another thing to actually

392
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: go out and do it. And I think that's why

393
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: there's been excitement for week one, Paul, just because now

394
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 4: you find out and you're not going to make conclusions

395
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: over one game, maybe not even over one month, but

396
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 4: you better see a difference at least as far as

397
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 4: what it looks like early in the season, because there's

398
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 4: an expectation here this year.

399
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 6: Remember our original marketing mantra for Kyler, Come for the arms,

400
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 6: stay for the legs. I think we're all curious to

401
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 6: see how much more often he's apt to run the

402
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 6: ball this year, mainly because he's the one who brought

403
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 6: it up, He's the one who talked about it in

404
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 6: the offseason. He's the one who seemingly watched the AFC

405
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 6: playoffs and saw what Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson did

406
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 6: top defenses honest in key moments. Just how lethal that

407
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 6: can be. He was that dude, especially in twenty twenty

408
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 6: when he had over eight hundred rushing yards, when he

409
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 6: had eleven rushing touchdowns. There's another area, and we talked

410
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 6: about getting Trey McBride in the end zone, getting just

411
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 6: more catches period. And Marvin Harrison Junior, what about Kyler's

412
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 6: run game. You know, if he can minimize the interceptions

413
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 6: and we all know the stat he had three interceptions

414
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 6: thrown at the by and then the final seven games

415
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 6: he had eight eight picks. Minimize those interceptions, win in doubt,

416
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 6: don't maybe run the ball and if you got to

417
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 6: get down, great or he throw it out of bounds.

418
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 6: But I mean, with this defense in this run game,

419
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 6: that's not a bad play.

420
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: Seventy eight rushing attempts for Kyler last season, one hundred

421
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: and thirty three in twenty twenty. So again, how much

422
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: do those numbers increase as far as rushing attempts. And

423
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 4: then you brought it up Zoe the offensive line, what

424
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 4: is that going to look like the new piece added,

425
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: at least as far as Week one is concerned, although

426
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: he did start the final five games at right guard

427
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 4: last season. Isaiah Adams going into the year two, he

428
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 4: was asked this offseason what advice he would give to

429
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: his rookie self.

430
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 12: You belong here, man, Like you're drafted in the third

431
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 12: round for a reason. The guys you know your talented player,

432
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 12: So I think, you know, just act like you belong here.

433
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 12: Don't get that imposter syndrome that I had last year,

434
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 12: and you know, just realize that, like you know, this

435
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 12: is your spot and this is your you know, opportunity

436
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 12: for sure.

437
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: And that's the one big question mark that I think

438
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 4: a lot of people had about this offense overall, not

439
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: just the offensive line, but that young piece at right guard.

440
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 4: Although if you look at it, you've got a veteran

441
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: to his left and yelled the fold, a veteran to

442
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 4: his right in Jena Williams. So you're plugging in a

443
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: little bit of an unknown at least as far as

444
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 4: body of work is.

445
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 5: Concerned, right, And it definitely helps to have veterans around you, right,

446
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 5: because it's constant communication and you really can't hear the

447
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 5: old line communicate, but you know, making the mic call,

448
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 5: making little calls where they're going to be doubling or

449
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 5: scooping or who they're climbing to or pass protection stuff.

450
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: When you have veteran around you makes you more confident

451
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 5: as a rookie to speak because you have a relationship

452
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 5: and then they can also correct you as you kind

453
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 5: of go through the game. But you know, kind of

454
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 5: talking to him, you know, if he was to hear

455
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 5: this right, that imposterism. It's a real thing for young

456
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 5: guys because even though you get drafted, how you still

457
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 5: don't know.

458
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 7: Until you know. And that's why experience is so important.

459
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 5: So having those five games last year, getting out there

460
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 5: and playing and going through the ups and downs and

461
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 5: competing with guys, it confirms that you belong here. And

462
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 5: I think that's the most important thing is you walk

463
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 5: into this. And that's why he kept the spot. Right,

464
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 5: you got Will Hernandez back. He's not they're gonna start

465
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: Will or what's gonna happen. No, he's earned that spot

466
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 5: and through training camp, through last year and what he's

467
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 5: done through preseason, that's why they're going with this young

468
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: guy because they see a lot of promise in him,

469
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 5: and so hopefully he's seen that as well, because that

470
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 5: you know, coaches they get in the offensive line, they

471
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 5: want guys in there that they can trust. And so

472
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 5: he's earned the trust of the officer coordinator, his teammates,

473
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: and so I'm really happy to see what he's gonna

474
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 5: be able to go out there and play well.

475
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 6: It's really interesting. I had not heard that just the

476
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 6: brutal honesty imposter syndrome in something he wondered as a

477
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 6: rookie last year. I mean, let's let's be brutally honest

478
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 6: ourselves in training camp. Last year he got put on

479
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 6: skates a lot, just wasn't physically strong enough to contend.

480
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 6: That wasn't the case this year. So I hear players

481
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 6: talk about they have to prove it to themselves first

482
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 6: and foremost before they prove it to the coaches or

483
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 6: anyone else. I think he did prove it to himself

484
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 6: in this training camp, in particular when he's matching up

485
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 6: against Dalvin Tomlinson and Kalis Campbell and Dante Stills and

486
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 6: they're giving him their best, and by the end of

487
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 6: training camp, the final I have it on film, the

488
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 6: final O line D line not only was he holding

489
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 6: up in the blox, he was finishing him off. It's

490
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 6: sort of shoving a guy away, like get out of here.

491
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 6: Like there was a little bit of attitude tacked on

492
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 6: to the end. I'm like, man, that is night and

493
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 6: day from a year ago, Isaiah Adams.

494
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 4: Those one on one drills, Paul, there was a lot

495
00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: of attention front office coaches, and I think Isaiah answered

496
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: a lot of questions now with Will Hernandez, that first

497
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 4: injury report comes out on Wednesday? Is he limited? Is

498
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 4: he full go? Is he active on game day? You

499
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 4: also have that guy on this iseline now. Jonathangannon has

500
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 4: said Evan Brown's my left guard, ISAA Adams is my

501
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 4: right guard. But Will Hernandez is lurking.

502
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 6: Remember how the Lions opened Week three with six offensive linemen. Hmmm,

503
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 6: is there a moment in the first quarter where six

504
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 6: offensive linemen on third and one? Who wants some Let's

00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,960

00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 14: I love it, appreciate it. All I'm saying is, I

530
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 14: know there's a lot of athletes that try to rap,

531
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 14: and some of it is bad. You know, let's just

532
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,239

00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:48,960

Speaker 4: Schedule lease seal an approval of seal of approval there

536
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 4: from Adrian Wilson and Joe, how about you thumbs up?

537
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, here we go.

538
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 5: I love it, got a little swag to it, and

539
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 5: a dub is not wrong when he says a lot

540
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 5: of guys try to rap man. The first person that

541
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 5: came to mind when we talked about that was Fred

542
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 5: smoot O dB I was with in Washington every day.

543
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 5: He was rapping on in our corner that we sat horrible,

544
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 5: horrible in the city.

545
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: Did he know? And he just did it?

546
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 13: No?

547
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 7: You know, he's a dB to the core.

548
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 5: Now, he thought he was giving you some nice bars

549
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 5: and we just all be laughing at him.

550
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 7: But you know, Smooth was always wanting to make you laugh.

551
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 7: But nah, he couldn't rap.

552
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 6: I just can't believe Adrian Wilson stole my line. And

553
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 6: that's exactly what I was thinking about how it slaps,

554
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, That's what I was thinking exactly,

555
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 6: and he stole my line.

556
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 7: You know what? What's slapping?

557
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 13: Man?

558
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 9: You know what?

559
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: That?

560
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 7: Don't explain it?

561
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 4: Correct?

562
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 6: Next question? Next question.

563
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 4: I'll let it hang there. I would love an explanation

564
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 4: here from uh from Paul here, give me a defense question?

565
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 4: All right, defense? Right? Well, we heard the rapping ability

566
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 4: of Mac Wilson sr. Now ability of Mac Wilson Senior

567
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 4: this year a little bit different. He's gonna have the

568
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 4: green dot, so he's in charge of the defense, getting

569
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 4: that play from Nick Rollison, relaying it to ten teammates.

570
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 4: But it does sound like it was something that the

571
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: coaching staff thought about, went to Mac in the offseason

572
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 4: and said he said, yeah, sure, no problem, And it

573
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 4: didn't seem like there was an issue at all, whether

574
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 4: it was practice or the limited reps in preseason.

575
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 5: Right now, I mean, he has a lot of experience

576
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 5: playing the game and just adding that that aspect or

577
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 5: layer to it for some guys is not a big deal.

578
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 5: All you doing is just regurgitating it. And then obviously

579
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 5: he's starting it. The clothes call, the back end communication

580
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 5: did really well, and he's actually since he's joined this roster,

581
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 5: he's been one of the one of my favorite players

582
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 5: to watch and see how it physically plays. And so

583
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 5: I know he's gonna be playing, you know, the mic

584
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 5: traditionally off the ball, but I can't wait to see

585
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 5: how they still use all of his abilities because he

586
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 5: blitted a couple of times.

587
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 7: I think it was the first or.

588
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 5: Second game, I can't remember blitz thrown the guard out

589
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 5: of the club.

590
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 7: So he's a real physical player.

591
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 5: You know, he can line up and rush as well,

592
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 5: and so some of the third down packages that they're

593
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 5: gonna come up with. So yeah, he's gonna have the

594
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: green dock calling it, but he's still gonna be moving around, blitzing,

595
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 5: running sideline the sideline, rushing to pass it from the end.

596
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 5: And that's why I love it. His flexibility, his leadership,

597
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 5: his physicality that he brings to this team makes everybody

598
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 5: rise up, much like a Boodha baker. Right when he's

599
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: on the field, you got to rise up. And so

600
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 5: that's why I really think mac Wilson's gonna do a

601
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 5: good job and hasn't slowed down at all.

602
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: To that point. The first potted practice of cards Camp,

603
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: I believe it was the first snap of eleven on

604
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: eleven and there was mac Wilson Senior batting down a

605
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 4: pass in the flat. So it wasn't he wasn't lined

606
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 4: up over the middle, but he was actually near the edge.

607
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 4: So I don't think you're gonna see number two just

608
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: kind of hanging in the middle of the defense.

609
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 6: Craig if you want to see it. I tweeted it

610
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 6: out earlier with a comment from Kalais Campbell that we're

611
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 6: gonna hear momentarily. So, yes, he was all over the

612
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 6: field and coming into camp. I mean how much me

613
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 6: first informed, almost how much noise was made about Oh geez,

614
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 6: the biggest question a camp is who's your middle linebacker?

615
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 6: And he answered that basically day one a camp. It

616
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 6: really wasn't a question. They gave him the green dot.

617
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 6: He excelled. He was totally natural. He wanted it and

618
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 6: as JG has said more than one season athletic thumper,

619
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 6: he can come downhill to your point, Zo, he can

620
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 6: come off the edge with pass rush skills, but he

621
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 6: can also go sideline to sideline because he could run,

622
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 6: and you know, he was a special team's demon first

623
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 6: four years of his career. He's used to playing in

624
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 6: space like that. So, especially if this defensive front keeps

625
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 6: him clean with all the beef they added up front,

626
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 6: I mean, he could be seeking destroy. He'll get to

627
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 6: one hundred tackles by week ten at this. You know,

628
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 6: if he plays the way we think he can.

629
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 4: You brought up Kalais Campbell, let's hear from Klais now

630
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: some context here because Mack was voted a team captain

631
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 4: for the first time in his career. So Khalais was

632
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: asked about the team captains and then turned his attention

633
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: to unprompted about what to expect this year.

634
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 9: Mac Wilson is a guy that you're gonna hear a

635
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 9: lot about this year. You know, he's a lead player,

636
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 9: and you know he's gonna be you know, mission with

637
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 9: the greats will soon as long as guy will he

638
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 9: stays healthy, and that's in God's hands, you know. But

639
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 9: he's gonna have a big year, you know, just to

640
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 9: wake him. I love waiting practices. I love how smart

641
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 9: he is. He's back to play at Mike, which he

642
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 9: really hasn't played a lot in an NFL. But I mean,

643
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 9: you know, he's he's a start and you know, very

644
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 9: worthy of being the captain, a great leader.

645
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: Here ere max numbers from last season seventy five tackles,

646
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 4: four tackles for lost, three sacks, seven quarterback hits, five

647
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: passes defense, an interception, and a fumble recovery. So that

648
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 4: doesn't scream to me, Hey, you're gonna be in the middle.

649
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: You're gonna be everywhere close to the line of scrimmage.

650
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: Away from the line of scrimmage, you might even come

651
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 4: off the side or come off the edge. To your point,

652
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 4: He's someone that his versatility and his athleticism allows Nick

653
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 4: Rawlis say, all right, you're not gonna be pigeonholed into

654
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 4: this one spot. We're gonna he likes you in a

655
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 4: number of different areas.

656
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think that's going to be primarily on

657
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 5: first second down, where he's going to be off the ball,

658
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 5: traditional mike. Whatever their base defense looks that week, whether

659
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 5: it's a traditional four to three or they bring that

660
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 5: three safety and they bring Buddha down in the box

661
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 5: with them or whatever that looks like, that's where he's

662
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 5: going to primarily be. But when you get to third down,

663
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 5: you get to mix some things up. When he's coming

664
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 5: off the edge or maybe walked up into the line

665
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 5: and then dropping out or rushing, that's where you're going

666
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 5: to really see his flexibility and his ability or Nick

667
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 5: Rillis's ability to kind of utilize him in different ways

668
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 5: because he is so versatile and that's what you really love,

669
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 5: and so it creates confusion for the offensive line, especially

670
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 5: when you then you know you have a zavin As

671
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 5: down there. It also has the ability to drop out

672
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 5: of there. Okay, who's coming, Who's going? How do we

673
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 5: count this? So I can account for him just being

674
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 5: able to move around for at least probably two or

675
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 5: three sacks just because of his presence there and the

676
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 5: offensive line maybe letting somebody go.

677
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 6: Mean, I can only imagine on Sunday Spencer Rattler under center,

678
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 6: He's like, wait a minute, why is the Mike linebacker

679
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 6: coming off the end? What's going on here? And all

680
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 6: the possible maneuvers you can employ with Mac Wilson Senior

681
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 6: because of his various skill set, although I will say

682
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 6: he's got to be the one guy in the front

683
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 6: seven who's never gonna come off the field, right, doesn't

684
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 6: matter what sort of personnel package you have out there,

685
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 6: what the call is, He's going to be a constant

686
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 6: him Buddha JT. But then when it's just him as

687
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 6: the only inside linebacker and you have the three safety package,

688
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 6: that's That's been a really interesting look through training camp

689
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 6: in the month August. I just think especially in week one,

690
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 6: Nick Ross is going to use a little bit of everything.

691
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and to Kalaius's point, because Mac is going

692
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 5: to be off the ball first second down, I think

693
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 5: his tackle's gonna shoot way up, and so we can

694
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 5: be looking at him and being, hey, man, this dude's

695
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 5: a pro bowler, all pro type if depending on what

696
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 5: that looks like and how well they play. He has

697
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 5: that ability in him. And just because they moved him

698
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 5: off the ball. Now some of those runs last year

699
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 5: when he was on the edge that ran away from him,

700
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 5: He's going to be in on those tackles making more plays.

701
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 5: And you want guys like that around the ball because

702
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: they typically getting it out, stripping it, getting an interception,

703
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 5: picking up a fumble, scoring right. He has that it

704
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 5: factor that a lot of guys you know, are always

705
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 5: trying to chase.

706
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 7: He just has it.

707
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 4: This defense in twenty twenty five is going to look

708
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 4: a lot different because of the personnel. And number one

709
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 4: on that list is Josh Sweat, the Big Prize free agent. Addition,

710
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 4: he was asked way back when in March on the

711
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 4: Big Red Rage, why after seven seasons in Philadelphia did

712
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 4: he decide to come to Arizona.

713
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 15: I mean, I thought it was the best fit for me.

714
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 15: It was more more than money is a situation man,

715
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 15: and being around Ganning and Ryalis, guys that I've already

716
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 15: you know, been around and you know, have won games

717
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 15: with you, I just knew they would play me in

718
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 15: the right way. So that's what I want.

719
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 4: As much as we talked about Josh Wett all the

720
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 4: way back in March, it does seem, at least to me, Paul,

721
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 4: that once training camp began in the preseason, that here's

722
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 4: someone that kind of flew under the radar. There wasn't

723
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: a lot of talk about him because what we did

724
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 4: see him at all in the preseason and then there

725
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 4: wasn't those splash plays in training camp. Not that I

726
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 4: expected him to do a bunch, but as an outside linebacker,

727
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: you can't touch the quarterback in training camp.

728
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 6: So that cut right there. I asked Josh Sweat to elaborate, Okay,

729
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 6: how did they use you? And he said, well, did

730
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 6: you see the Super Bowl? Yeah? He said. Vic Fangio

731
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 6: started the week the game, week of preparation, said we're

732
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 6: gonna set you free. You're just gonna go. He said,

733
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 6: that's the way Gannon and Rowlis used to employ me

734
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 6: in Philadelphia when he had his two most productive years

735
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 6: and in that Super Bowl that just happened to be

736
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 6: the game plan against the great Patrick Mahomes. We're just

737
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 6: gonna go just you know, unleash and just get after him.

738
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 6: And that's the way I expect the Cardinals for the

739
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 6: most part to use him.

740
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 11: Now.

741
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 6: I did ask on his TV show this week, all right,

742
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 6: you tell us about Josh Sweat. Nobody knows him better

743
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 6: than you, Jonathan Gannon, and he said, the thing he

744
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 6: really likes that people don't realize is how well he

745
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 6: sets the edge. He's sixty five, he's two sixty five.

746
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 6: He plays violent. He's really physical against the run. And

747
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 6: that's why that's another reason they signed him, because he

748
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 6: is a legit three down player.

749
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 4: Nick Rolis mentioned that as well when we had the

750
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 4: chance to first ask him about Josh. What he said,

751
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: violent in the run game. All right, So that answers

752
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 4: that question as far as Okay, paid a lot of

753
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 4: money to a guy gets a lot of sacks, just

754
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 4: go get the quarterback. No, this defense, they ask more

755
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 4: out of their outside linebacker.

756
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 5: Right, you want to be able to set that edge

757
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 5: outside back, and that's your primary job in the system.

758
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 5: And right because you got to earn the right to

759
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 5: rush the pass. So that's what people fail to remember

760
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 5: because if they gash and gashing you defensively, you're never

761
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 5: gonna have those opportunities. And so as guys that understand that, Okay,

762
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go out here, set the edge, be physical,

763
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 5: be disruptive. You make the running back have to make

764
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 5: a cut before they want to, especially in the world

765
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 5: of zone schemes, especially in this division where we're gonna.

766
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 7: See that a lot the zone.

767
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 5: If I can go out there and put the tight

768
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 5: end three or four yards in the backfield or that

769
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 5: guard that's coming out to kick me out and put

770
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 5: him in three four yards and cut the field off

771
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 5: by five yards easier, that makes the running back cut back.

772
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 5: And I got guys running Mac Wilson, the backside, guys

773
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 5: running to make tackles much easier. And you don't get

774
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 5: that square effect where running backs are able to extend it,

775
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 5: extend it and then find that cut back late, so

776
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 5: I can't wait to see what he looks like, that

777
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 5: physical presence, and then on third downs being able to

778
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 5: get after the quarterback.

779
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 6: One of the best things that Cardinals did defensively from

780
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four was stop Kyron Williams. Right,

781
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 6: they figured out, all right, we're gonna stop that Sean

782
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 6: McVay zone run scheme with Kyen RUMs where he had

783
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 6: over three hundred yards rushing in those two games in

784
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three was not nearly the same factor as

785
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 6: the Cardinals easily could have swept the Rams if not

786
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 6: for the deflection in the end zone off the helmet

787
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 6: of Trade McBride in week seventeen, and then the forty

788
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 6: nine ers obviously didn't kill the Cardinals. Now, Zach Charbonay

789
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 6: in the second game against Seattle, he had a big game,

790
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 6: over six yards to carry, So that's something you gotta

791
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 6: work on. Totally difference. Now it's Klint Kubiak, different deal.

792
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 6: But the Seahawks are going to stress the run more

793
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 6: than ever because they had the twenty ninth rate of

794
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 6: rushing in the NFL last year. And that's why that

795
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 6: guy Ryan Grubb was a one year OC in Seattle.

796
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 6: So to your point, so, yeah, you got to figure

797
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 6: out how to stop the run starting in the division.

798
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 4: And can you stop the run with just four now

799
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, If you can do that, now

800
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 4: you've got seven in coverage, and that quarterback not a

801
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 4: lot of time or at least not a lot of

802
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 4: windows to throw to if you've got that many guys

803
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 4: plastered around your wide receiver, tight end, running back.

804
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, it just.

805
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 5: Allows your safeties not to feel like they got to

806
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 5: come down and commit as quick. Right, And so when

807
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 5: you have four defensive linemen and no obviously the two

808
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 5: off the ball backers, that can really so the six

809
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 5: man box.

810
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 7: If those guys, if you feel really.

811
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 5: Comfortable as a as a coordinator or as a safety

812
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 5: behind them, you don't have to show you can actually disguise,

813
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 5: and if it is a pass, you can hope that

814
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 5: disguise that much earlier. A lot of times when you

815
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 5: getting gashed, coordinators like, hey we playing cover three, Hey

816
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 5: I want you to roll down that early because we

817
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 5: got to stop this run.

818
00:36:58,520 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 7: Just get line up in it right then.

819
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 5: And if you're playing against Pat Mahomes or any caliber

820
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 5: type of quarterback, they can check out of it and

821
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 5: then just destroy you all day. So that's why being

822
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 5: violent in the run game, earned the right to pass

823
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 5: rush on third down is so important, And that's why

824
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 5: having this beef. You know, these guys coming in you know,

825
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 5: getting d rob kalayis these big bodies that can go

826
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 5: in here forced to run, and then you don't feel like, man,

827
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 5: I gotta come down as a safety. I gotta I

828
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 5: gotta go here, gotta go quit. Oh it's play action.

829
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 5: Oh no, and I'm getting hit with a deep ball.

830
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 5: So that's I think the game within the game that

831
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 5: we will be able to see with bigger bodies, more

832
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 5: violent hands up front. In the run game, we will

833
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 5: give up less explosive.

834
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 4: Plays and a healthy Darius Robinson knock On Wood. We

835
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 4: only saw a glimpse of him late last season, and

836
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 4: I don't even think he was all the way healthy.

837
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 4: You started him with Kalais Dalvin, Tomlinson, Josh Sweat, Baron

838
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 4: brownings Avin Collins. I mean, that's that's a strong front

839
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 4: seven right there.

840
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 6: I don't think especially the division realizes just how different

841
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 6: it's gonna be when they take on the Niners and

842
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 6: the Seahawks in weeks three and four and they look

843
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 6: at the Cardinals front seven, all the names you just listed,

844
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 6: plus Mac Wilson senior at inside backer, I mean, Kyle Shannan,

845
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 6: Sean McVeigh, you know, and Mike McDonald they'll be like, Wow,

846
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 6: this is a totally different team on that side of

847
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 6: the ball, and it starts with the Saints on Sunday.

Speaker 6: Toble pass throw back to Spencer Rattler.

853
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 3: Rattler not throwing to the ends one at Foster Tomorrow.

854
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 3: Touchdown from Spencer Rattler.

855
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 16: Spencer Ratlers are starting quarterback. Really really excited for him.

856
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 16: He's done awesome job this offseason. He's just been consistent.

857
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 16: He's made some really good decisions throughout this whole entire process,

858
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 16: and you know, his ability to make plays with his

859
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 16: arm and his feet haven't certainly shown up. So I'm

860
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 16: really really excited about Spencer. He's earned this opportunity.

861
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 4: New head coach Kellen Moore, new starting Saints quarterback Spencer Ratler.

862
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 4: Remember Derek Carr retired way back win, so it is

863
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 4: now Spencer's team. The former high school star out of

864
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 4: Pinnacle getting his first first start Week one He did

865
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: start six games last season, lost all six, played in

866
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 4: seven overall. But this is a Saints team again, a

867
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 4: little bit of an unknown going into this season because

868
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 4: of a new head coach, new coordinators on both offense

869
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 4: and defense. Before we discuss and give our thoughts, how

870
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 4: about we get the thoughts of the head coach, Jonathan

871
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 4: Gannon on Spencer Ratler and the Saints offense.

872
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 8: It's a new system, new play caller, new team, you know,

873
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 8: so there would be some known unknowns. But he's a

874
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 8: good player. He's got a live arm, he can move,

875
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 8: makes a quick decisions. So Kellen is a really good

876
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 8: play caller. They can coach us Meyer really good, you know,

877
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 8: design of scheme and coaching the quarterback. And they got

878
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 8: some premier players over there. So we're cut out for.

879
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 4: US ten am kickoff on Sunday five thirty pre game

880
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 4: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network on the road.

881
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 4: Week one. The Superdome, although now we've got to call

882
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 4: it the Caesars super Dome, Paul, make sure you get

883
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 4: the presenting sponsor, so just call it the Superdome with

884
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 4: the dome. It's the Caesars super Dome. CORECT don't give

885
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 4: me the sponsor police stuff over there. Okay, you're not

886
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 4: the boss to me with his sponsor stuff. It's still

887
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 4: a super dome.

888
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 6: Based on what we endured the playoff loss in the

889
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 6: two thousand and nine season, I would say the loudest

890
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 6: road venue I've ever been in that game. Insane, just

891
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 6: how loud that building was during that game. So that's

892
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 6: gonna be advantage New Orleans, there's no doubt about it.

893
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 6: How are the Cardinals communicating on defense? How are the

894
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 6: Cardinals communicating with the silent count up front when they

895
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 6: have the football though, that's gonna be a big deal,

896
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 6: especially in Week one, right out of the gate. So

897
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 6: that's interesting. You know, Spencer Rather, there's a curious stat

898
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 6: about him. He's a fifth QB since nineteen fifty to

899
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 6: finish his rookie season owen six or worse as a starter.

900
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 4: Two of the other.

901
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 6: Guys Jared Goff and Troy Yikman. So they both remounted

902
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 6: in a big way and had some success. And he

903
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 6: has Kellen Moore as an offensive coordinator who knows Jonathan

904
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 6: Gannon and Nick Rolis really well, guess what, he's got

905
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 6: a healthy Alvin Kamara who they say has looked great

906
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 6: in camp. Five time Pro Bowler. He has Chris a

907
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 6: Lobby who we didn't have at the end of last

908
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 6: season when he was starting because of the concussion. So

909
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 6: Chris the Lobby is back. He has two thousand yard

910
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 6: receiving seasons in his first three years in the league,

911
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 6: so he has weapons at his disposal if the on

912
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 6: line can give him some time.

913
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 4: Former fifth round pick and as a defensive players, though,

914
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 4: you go into that first matchup with someone with not

915
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 4: a lot of experience, but you don't know quite what

916
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 4: the offense is gonna look like. You can go back

917
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 4: to Eagles tape or Chargers tape or Cowboys tape, but

918
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 4: different personnel. So how does looking too far back to

919
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 4: what Kellen Moore did as an offensive coordinator translates here

920
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty five.

921
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's gonna have some definitely some some

922
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 5: tendencies that he's like, like that he's enjoyed doing over

923
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 5: the course of his tenure as a play caller. So

924
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 5: you definitely want to get that, get the nuts and boats.

925
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 5: But then I'm really looking at things that impacted Spencer Ratler, right,

926
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 5: because that's who we're really trying to impact.

927
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 7: You know, he can Keller Morgan.

928
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 5: Call whatever he wants, all these things, and if Spencer

929
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 5: Ratler can't adjust to what I'm showing him, then it

930
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 5: doesn't even really matter. So I'm really looking at a

931
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 5: young quarterback and seeing, ay, was it cover two disguises?

932
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 5: Was it fire zone blitzes on third down? Was it rotations?

933
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 9: You know?

934
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 5: Was it cover two? All these different things of how

935
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 5: what made him not go zero and six? Where did

936
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 5: he struggle? And he's gonna have to show me that

937
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 5: he's grown in those areas or that's what I'm gonna

938
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 5: attack first. But the main thing is gonna come out

939
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 5: and stop in Alvin Kamara because you know they're gonna

940
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 5: want to get him the football early and often, and

941
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 5: it's going to show up in a couple of different ways.

942
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 5: Your traditional run game, the screen game. Right, He's one

943
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 5: of the few running backs that actually can line up

944
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 5: at receiver as well, yep, and create some mismatches out there,

945
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 5: and so really taking him away initially and then making

946
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 5: space Ratler go through his progressions and find somebody else.

947
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 6: For example, last year, Kellen Moore had the highest rush

948
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 6: percentages of play caller in the NFL fifty six percent.

949
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 6: But then again, he was the OC for Philly, who

950
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 6: had the best ole line in the league, and they

951
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 6: had Sakuon Barkley. So all right, what's it going to

952
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 6: look like this year for New Orleans? Because until last

953
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 6: season he had never run the ball more than fifty

954
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 6: percent in any of his other five years as in OC.

955
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 6: But again, Nick Rols and Jonathan Ganna I feel like

956
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 6: they know him pretty well and vice versa from their

957
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 6: days in the same division.

958
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 4: We always here stop the run. It's the number one

959
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 4: thing defensive coordinators talk about each and every week. Some

960
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 4: weeks though, and I would put this week among them.

961
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 4: Sometimes it one rings a lot truer than maybe just

962
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 4: coach speak. But to your point, you take away the

963
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 4: run game and you force We just talked about the defense.

964
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 4: You got to earn your right to rush. Can you

965
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 4: rush now on second down because you've stopped the run

966
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 4: or maybe there's a tackle for loss and get into

967
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 4: some third and nine ten plus yards more consistently, and

968
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 4: then you know as a defense that oh, yeah, you're

969
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 4: throwing this ball or you're just gonna try to quick

970
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 4: draw and catch us off guard. But you're gonna have

971
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 4: to go thirteen yards to get a first down.

972
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 5: Right, and in this week when you're playing a young

973
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 5: quarterback too, it means even more right, you know, just traditionally,

974
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 5: no matter who you're playing, Pat Mahomes, Josh Allen, you

975
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 5: want to put them in some third and long opportunities.

976
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 5: They have to hold the football. This week, not only

977
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 5: is he gonna have to hold the football, he's gonna

978
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 5: have to go through his progressions as well, and young

979
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 5: quarterbacks typically struggle with that and having all that pressure

980
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 5: on him. So stopping the run is going to be

981
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 5: a significant part because you're stopping their best player and

982
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 5: putting one of their younger players in a bind as well.

983
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 6: Nobody has shown me the Cardinals defensive game plan, but

984
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 6: if the title is kitchen sink, because you're throwing everything

985
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 6: in the kitchen sink at the young quarterbacks, showing them everything,

986
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be shocked. You're gonna try and make him

987
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 6: think and beat you with his mind.

988
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 4: And good new for you, Paul. It's indoors. Yes, we'll

989
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 4: be saying that a lot this season, but yeah, exactly.

990
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 6: Cardinals lead the NFL most indoor games this year. Though

991
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 6: I know you didn't. You weren't aware of that stat.

992
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 6: That's my favorite stat of the year.

993
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 4: We'll talk about what happened in week one in one
