Speaker 1: Oh Baby Holmetfield. Here's Craig Griolou, Mike Jarecki, and three

12

Speaker 1: time pro bowler Kyle Van Deenbosch. The Arizona Cardinals remain

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: unbeaten after beating the Houston Texans thirty one five Sunday

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: afternoon from State Farm Stadium. The first time since nineteen

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: seven four, the Cardinals have started a season with a

16
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: seven and oh record. Welcome into the Cardinals Red Sea Report.

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: With Mike drecking Kyle Van Debosh, I'm Danny Serek filling

18
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: him for Craig Grilou. Houston is now one and six.

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: They haven't won a game since their season opener. They

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: were clearly struggling going into that game, but we still

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: have to give the Cardinals offense and they sorry, Rather

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: they gave the Cardinals offense trouble early on, but Arizona

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: managed to settle down and create some explosive plays and

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: still get the job done, and the Cardinals defense ended

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: up completely shutting down Houston. Kyle, overall, what impressed you

26
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: most about Sunday's win. Yeah, It's been a common theme

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: in some of the games, is just lapses for short

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: periods of time. But this team makes great in game

29
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: adjustments usually, I mean always rights the ship and finds

30
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: a way and it's usually a big play or two,

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: either from Kyler Murray or a big play in this defense.

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: That is the turnaround point in the game. You know.

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: The thing that's encouraging to me is over the last

34
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: couple of years, it felt like if this offense early

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: on gets behind the sticks, um, it's they can't get

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: going on offense. And that's exactly what happened with a

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: couple of mistakes on the offensive line, a miss block,

38
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: a bad snap and the game kind of starts off

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: about as poorly as possible, but they were able to

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, fix it and make the adjustments and really

41
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: a lot like some of the games where they struggled

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: early this year, dominate the second half. You know, I

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: give Lovey Smith a lot of credit because clearly, you know,

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: they're just playing for pride right now, they get paid.

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: And they came out and I thought both defenses controlled

46
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: the temple and that and that first quarter. Matter of fact,

47
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals only had thirteen yards. They had one hundred

48
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: and ninety three in the second quarter. And you know,

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Josh Jones has moved inside and he got beat a

50
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 1: few times, but as Kyle pointed out that it really

51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: didn't affect him in the long run. But you go

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: against a team like the Green Bay Packers, you cannot

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: start like that and they know that. And again, you know,

54
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Cliff was he was notified at six thirty am on Sunday,

55
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you know he's got the

56
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: he got the playset and usually when it comes to Kingsbury, Wednesday,

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday are there installed days, and that's where

58
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: he gets an idea where he's going to try to

59
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: attack the other team, and you know, going into the

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland game, he was there all week. This time it

61
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: was more just waking up so a little you know,

62
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: they weren't on the same page. Kyle mentioned at the game,

63
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: when you're not out in the practice field, it's a

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: little bit more difficult. So it should be much better

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: coming up on Thursday night. There were thirty one unanswered points.

66
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Fun In fact, though, this was the first NFL game

67
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: to ever end in a thirty one five score. Pretty crazy.

68
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: I think it was like the it's something called score Gami,

69
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: which I didn't realize till our account tweeted out. I

70
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: think it was like the one thousand, sixty eight YEP

71
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: score outcome or something crazy like that. This was the

72
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: sixth game with thirty or more points put up by

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: this Cardinals offense. And what it wasn't always pretty right

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: their first three possessions punt punt safety. They found a

75
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: way to get it done. But here's what Kyler Murray

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: had to say postgame about that slow start. No, I

77
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: wasn't too concerned. It was I don't know why, you know,

78
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: maybe came out with the lex. You know, I can't

79
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: really speak on it. I just know, got to be better,

80
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, faster, because get beat. You know, if you

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: if you come out too slow, sometimes you may not

82
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: be able to catch up. So for the most well, offensively,

83
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we can be a lot better. Kyle,

84
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: you were touching on it briefly a minute ago. But

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: from your experience, what is the difficulty level of mentally

86
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: not getting down yourself if you are having a slow start,

87
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: to find a way to bounce back. It's really the

88
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: makeup of the locker room. Some you know, especially if

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: it's a locker room made up of young players, they

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: ride that roller coaster where if things go bad, they

91
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: get down, they you know, hang their heads and they

92
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: get frustrated. But this is a locker room with veteran leaderships,

93
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: not only the veterans that have been on this team,

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: but the veterans we've brought in in the off season,

95
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: and they've seen it all, they've played through it all.

96
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: They know that this is how games go, um, you know,

97
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: at different points in the game. Um. And that's you know,

98
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: that's probably one of the most encouraging things about this

99
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: team is just the balance and the complimentary football is

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: when the offense is struggling, which isn't often. The defense

101
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: steps up and the defense plays a shutdown type of defense.

102
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: And when the when the defense is struggling, the offense

103
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: is able to roll and be explosive and make plays. UM.

104
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: So that's that's what's been encouraging, is um. You know there,

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: it's not like, you know, the offense is carrying this

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: team through all of these victories. The offense does struggle,

107
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: but the defense has the ability to step up. Right,

108
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: true complimentary football. Arizona did get their head coach, Cliff

109
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: Kingsbury back. You were mentioned it. Mikey cleared protocols early

110
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: Sunday morning after missing the Cleveland game, so he was

111
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: virtual and practice all week, and then he got to

112
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: show up at the game. So it was completely vice

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: versa from the week prior, and this team probably could

114
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: have managed without him again based on what we saw

115
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: against Cleveland, but you always want to get your head

116
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: coach back. Everyone was very excited. I was on the

117
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: sideline free game and I can't even tell you how

118
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: big his smile was when he ran out out of

119
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: the tunnel onto the field and it was the first

120
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: time he met zach Ertz. They've been texting, you know,

121
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: back and forth, and you know that's the first time

122
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: and so you know, it was just interesting. I'm sure

123
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: he I wish we had a GoPro at his house

124
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: as you're running around. Yes, I've been cleared. I gotta

125
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: think he was still crazy that for those two weeks,

126
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: and clearly he put the game plan together for Cleveland,

127
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: for the Texans, and now I'm sure he has a

128
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: good idea going into the Packers game. Yeah, he was

129
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: pretty excited. Here's what he had to say about getting

130
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: back out there with this team. It just felt funky.

131
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: I mean, I usually I've called those plays over and

132
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: over throughout the week. Kyler and I've had the dialogue.

133
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: That was the first time, you know, we'd even gone

134
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: over him was out there. So it just didn't feel

135
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: like the same type of rhythm, the same type of

136
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: comfort level. I just set more on edge than I

137
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 1: normally do after you know, six days of preparation. This

138
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: offensive line didn't have their cleanest game, and that was

139
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: a big part of some of the struggles early on.

140
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was sacked four times for thirty six yards,

141
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: the most in a game this season of all weeks.

142
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Is it a little extra concerning Mike that Kyler was

143
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: getting banged up pretty bad on a short week before

144
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: hosting the Packers Thursday. You know, obviously I believe as

145
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: long as he can stay up right, the Cardinals are

146
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: going to go. As far as Kyler Murray not not

147
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: saying if you know, he has to miss a game

148
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: here and then I think Colke McCoy is definitely a

149
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: manageable backup quarterback. But again, I just give the Texans credit.

150
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Lovey Smith had those guys ready to play.

151
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: They were physical, and you know, they got to clean

152
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: things up. And I think, you know, eventually Rodney Hudson

153
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: is going to come back. And now all of a sudden,

154
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: who's the starting right guard? And it could be Justine Murray,

155
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: could be Josh Jones, could be Max garcia Um. He

156
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: also had some you know snaps that you want to

157
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: see a little bit better. So the good news is

158
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: after that first quarter, no issues. They were. They were

159
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: able to run the football, They are able to throw

160
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. They you know, six different

161
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: guys called passes. So it was just that first quarter

162
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: to where they had to make sure and if you

163
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: watch the game from a television standpoint, there were a

164
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: lot of times that Kogler was over there with Kingsbury

165
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: coming up with a run plays and run protections, and

166
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: that happened after the first quarter. YEP, and Kingsbury praise

167
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: his quarterbacks ability to create those opportunities after that slow

168
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: start in the first quarter and find ways to get

169
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: this team win even if they're not at their best.

170
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: We didn't protect as well as we would have liked,

171
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: but he had a good look in his eye of

172
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: the entire game, kept stepping up and making plays and

173
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: ran around and um definitely some adverse conditions that he

174
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: battled through, and I think that's just a part of

175
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: this progression we've seen it this year. When things aren't

176
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: going great, he steps up and finds a way seven

177
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: to zero these Arizona Cardinals. And yet from some outside

178
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: or national media still getting told that it's based on

179
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: luck or based on teams that they're beating, that maybe

180
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: they're not that great, even though the Cardinals aren't just

181
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: beating teams, they are dominating them. Someone from national media,

182
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: Steve White with the NFL Network, did give some praise

183
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: to this team though earlier in the week, and here's

184
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: what he had to say about the Arizona Cardinals. After

185
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: what this defense continues to do, this might be the

186
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: most balanced team in the NFL record aside the way

187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: that they are playing and then adding a piece like

188
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: Urge to it. I think this Arizona team is built

189
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: for the long haul because the offensive weapons, the schemes

190
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: and advanced Joseph and that defense is doing. And people

191
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: better start talking about Marcus Gold and the other outside

192
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: linebacker edge rusher. He is getting it done for defense

193
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: is loaded with talent. Kyle, is this a statement game

194
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals to silence the doubters? I don't know

195
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: that they care inside that locker room about the doubters.

196
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: If anything, When I played, I preferred people to discount

197
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: us or not credit us for how good we were.

198
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: But I think yes from a national perspective, you know,

199
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: for people that don't get to see Cardinals games weekend

200
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: and week out, going against uh, you know, Green Bay Packers,

201
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: a storied franchise with the reigning MVP at quarterback, this

202
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: would be huge. This would be huge. And I agree

203
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: with everything Wie said there. This is a balanced team.

204
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: On top of the things he said, I think we

205
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: should recognize the depth because we've had injuries and we've

206
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: had people sit out for COVID and that's a credit

207
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: not only to Steve Kim and the players he has

208
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: on this team, that's a credit to the coaches, so

209
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: that when players have to step in and pick up

210
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: a role, there's really no letdown. And that's been one

211
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: of the most impressive things. You know, you lose a coach,

212
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: you lose a player, it doesn't matter. I mean, everybody says,

213
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: next man dump, but there's typically a weakness and there's

214
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: a void at that position and that hasn't happened with

215
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: this team this year. Yeah, I mean, go back to

216
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: the kind of Sea game. You know, Cardinals dominated that game.

217
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: They go to Seattle the next week and Derrick Henry

218
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: has one hundred and sixty yards three touchdowns. Okay, they

219
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: they basically dominated the Rams game. They dominated the Browns game.

220
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: And going into the season that the Titans are you know,

221
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: expected to make a run. The Browns were projected to

222
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: get to the Super Bowl, which is you know, obviously

223
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, a goal for every team, and then the Rams.

224
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, so they've played quality opponents and it's not

225
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: the Cardinal's fault that the Minnesota Vikings kicker missed the

226
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: field goal. So listen, you know every game is not

227
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: going to be a blowout. But but I agree with

228
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Kyle and Steve weish this team is well balanced and

229
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: the fact that they rep everything in practice and training camp.

230
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: That's the reason why when they go to their second unit,

231
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: it's not a huge drop off. And so that's they

232
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: got a great coaching staff. These coaches do a great

233
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: job during the practice during the week. Carl Is there's

234
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: some part like mentally of from this Cardinals seem me think, oh,

235
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: we haven't lost a game, maybe there's more pressure to

236
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: keep this going. I think it's the opposite. I was

237
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: in this situation with the Titans and we started to

238
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: ten to and it just felt like, no matter what happened,

239
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: we're gonna win. We're gonna find a way to win.

240
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: If we're down in the second half, if something happens

241
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, we always figure it out. And

242
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: we kind of have the same set of circumstances where

243
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: other teams had things wrong with them or people hurt,

244
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter. A win is a win. Red

254
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: What a year Marcus Golden is having and the Cardinals

255
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: force a fun There is the duckyard dog. After throw goes,

256
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: Mill steps up, gets hit and he fumbles the balls.

257
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: He gets sacked at midfield. Marcus Golden chopped it out.

258
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: It is Cardinal ball. Marcus Golden comes out of there

259
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: with it and he was a guy that forced the

260
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: fumble as well. While that is a beautiful play right there,

261
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden once again with another sack. Consecutive weeks. Outside

262
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: linebacker Marcus Golden has reported two sacks and forced to fumble,

263
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: and he recovered it this week against the Texans. Welcome

264
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: back into the Cardinal's Red Sea Report with Mike Jarecki

265
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: and Kyle Vanbosh. I'm Danny Serek. Marcus Golden continues to

266
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: be disruptive, especially with Chandler Jones who's been out for

267
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: those last two weeks. He's been elevated now activated off

268
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: the covidist, but Golden's really been stepping up. Kyle, what

269
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: do you think is his most valuable quality to this team?

270
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: I think it's his energy. He's relentless. You watch him,

271
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: he just brings it, brings it every play and gives

272
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: everything he has. I mean, he's the kind of player

273
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: you always know which you have in him. It's all

274
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: out effort and that's really sums up you know, his impact,

275
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: not only in these last couple of games. You know,

276
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: when things are going aren't going great, there's a little

277
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: adversity in the game. He's the kind of guy you

278
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: can always count on. He's the kind of guy that's

279
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: going to continue to bring it and lead some of

280
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: the younger guys and show them that this is what

281
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: it takes. It takes constant effort play after play in

282
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: order to get the results that you want. Just like

283
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, when Chandler Jones went down Steve Kime didn't wait.

284
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: He made the trade for Mark School and give up

285
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: a six, very similar to when Max Wayne went down.

286
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Didn't wait brought in Zach Ertz. I mean, Golden is

287
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: the only player in the NFL this season with at

288
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: least six sacks and forced fumbles. He leads the team

289
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: in sacks, forced fumbles, and fumble recoveries. So I think

290
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: he's the glue of the defense. I eventually Buddha Baker.

291
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: I believe he's the face of the defense. Obviously got Chandler,

292
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: he got some other young guys and Isaiah Simmons, But

293
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: I think Mark Marcus Golden's the glue of this defense.

294
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: And I couldn't agree more about the passion and the energy,

295
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: and it's every day. It's on the practice field, it's

296
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: in the locker room. I mean, you just watch this guy,

297
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, on the sidelines. I mean the fact that

298
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: everybody was so excited when Zach Hertz caught that touchdown.

299
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: It was again, this team is really close. You could

300
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: see the body and they trust each other. So I'm

301
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: a big Marcus Golden fan. Marcus Golden recovered the football

302
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: at the bottom of that pile after the strip sack,

303
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: and it's hard to see when you've got a big pile.

304
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: What's going on? Marcus came out with the ball with

305
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: his helmet off as he was running down to the end.

306
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Got what's the craziest thing. I'm not gonna ask that

307
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: you've done, but maybe that you know of someone who's

308
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: done at the bottom of a pile. Uh, I don't know.

309
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I know guys have grabbed things that you

310
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't grab. Guys are pinching and scratching. I was known

311
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: as a as a guy that would just lay on

312
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: top of people. I would lay on top of whoever

313
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: I tackled until they peeled me off, and mostly I

314
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: got criticized for it, and I just said, I'm tired.

315
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: This is It was like I needed that extra three

316
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: four seconds before somebody peeled me off that pile to

317
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: catch my breath. So it u But there is some

318
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: crazy stuff that happens. I think it's a lot more

319
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: difficult to get away with it now with all the

320
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: camera angles and things like that. But yeah, it's it's

321
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of a free for all under there. Here's

322
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: how a golden knew he could get the ball on

323
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: that strip sack on David's mills. I read it pretty good.

324
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: I felt the tackle. I knew he was gonna slide

325
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: down because his eyes was looking inside and once he

326
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: went down to tight end was coming back, but he

327
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't coming as fast as to come when he's a

328
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: run play. So I knew I can get him in

329
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: the inside with an inside step, and the quarterback was

330
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: right there. And of course if I get to the quarterback,

331
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get the ball out, so who was

332
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: at to get the ball out? And then I was

333
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: able to recover it too, So that's a special one man,

334
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: when you get the sack in get the recovery. The

335
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Houston game was a year and a day since the

336
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals traded with the Giants to bring Marcus Golden back

337
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: to this team. I'm not sure there's anyone on this

338
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: team who loves being a Cardinal more than him. And

339
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: I got a chance to talk with him after the game,

340
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: and I just asked him, YEA, what is it about

341
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: this organization that holds such a special place in your heart?

342
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: And he said, the best day of my life was

343
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: the day this team drafted me, and the second best

344
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: day was when they brought me back. And if that's

345
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: not the kind of guy you want to build your

346
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: team around on the field, but in the locker room

347
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: and the culture they're trying to build, I mean, he's

348
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: the perfect guy you want on your defense. Yeah. Absolutely,

349
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: And I understand that completely what he's saying. Honestly, as

350
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: a player, you want to play for an organization that

351
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: believes in you, and then you feel empowered. You feel like, yeah,

352
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: they've got my back. They wanted me. They wanted me

353
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: so much that they drafted me. But they wanted me

354
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: so much that they went back and got me and

355
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: brought me back because they know my value and so

356
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: it gives you that little extra incentive to provide that

357
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: value every day, Like you know, being the guy that

358
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: brings energy at practice every day's exhausting. Even when the

359
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: days you don't have it, you've got to because you

360
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: know that's your role and you know that's the type

361
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: of player they brought you back to be. This was

362
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: the sixth game the Cardinals have allowed twenty or fewer points.

363
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: Not a single Houston possession reached the red zone, and

364
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals haven't given up a touchdown since the Cleveland

365
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: hail Mary at the end of the first half. It's

366
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: been dominant, it's been cohesive, and it's been different players

367
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: making big plays out on the field. And that's something

368
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: linebacker Isaiah Simmons credits to defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. These

369
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: calls that he's given us. He's putting us in a

370
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: phenomenal position, you know, allowing our playmakers to flourish and

371
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: make the plays that they should be making. And you

372
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: know that that's just great, just being able to let

373
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: different players with different type of skill sets shine in

374
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: this defense. Arm you see it all over. Vance, He's

375
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: doing a great job. We gotta give all. We gotta

376
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: have to give our credits in I couldn't agree more.

377
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean some of the you know when the Cardinals

378
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: had to play Chase Whitaker and you know guys were out,

379
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: Robert Alford and Antonio Hamilton. I mean, yeah, they used

380
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: to play a lot of man to man. Now they're

381
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: playing more zone. But every week it's a different game plan.

382
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: He'll get he'll get more Nicolin Dame out there, and

383
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: Kyle was the first one to mention this, how well

384
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: this team tackles in the secondary. And I think now

385
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: people are starting to notice Buddha and Jalen Thompson is

386
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: probably one of the better tandems when it comes to tackling,

387
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: and tackling is something they work on in practice. But

388
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm really impressed with Vans. I mean, every week comes

389
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: up with a good different game plan and this is

390
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: going to probably be the you know, the first quarterback

391
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: to where um, you know, the nothing against Stafford and

392
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: Ryan tann Hill. But Aaron Rodgers can make plays from

393
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: inside and outside the pocket. So I'm curious to see

394
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: what kind of game planning he's going to come up with.

395
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: And Isaiah Simmons, we always talk about a guy needs

396
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: an entire offseason and you know, obviously a couple you know,

397
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: preseason games, and Zaven had that this year. But Jordan Hicks,

398
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: I'll played him in training camp. Isaiah Simmons, I mean

399
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: he's around the ball, he's physical, his football IQ and

400
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: presses me. He could play four different positions, So sky's

401
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: the limit for Isaiah Simmons. I really think, you know,

402
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: he's a big party. Maybe we don't mention him like

403
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: JJ Watton, Chandler and Buddha, but what they're doing defensively,

404
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: it allows Vans to move him around and it creates

405
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: mismatches for the other team. Something else that stood out

406
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: recently with Vans, Joseph and the media has been this

407
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: team's ability to stop four down attempts. They have stopped

408
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: twelve of their last sixteen. They've had to go up

409
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: against the most attempts in the league because nobody wants

410
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: to let Kyler Murray back on the field. Carle. Do

411
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: you think at this point Arizona almost wants teams to

412
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: go for it on four down because they just feel

413
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: so confident though they can stop them. Yeah, based on

414
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: the percentages, they should invite teams to do it, because

415
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: you get those stops. It's a huge difference in field position.

416
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: Had they decided to punt and it keeps points off

417
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: the board, have they had they decided to kick a

418
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: long field goal? So um yeah, I'm I'm thinking, well,

419
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: obviously they're confident in their ability to get the stops.

420
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: So I'm sure they're telling teams to bring it on

421
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: and go for it because we got your number. Well,

422
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: Vance has made it very clear, go for it. I

423
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: got more, I got more tools in my box. What

424
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? You're gonna fourth and one you're

425
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: probably gonna try to run it, or A you're gonna

426
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: try to use the outside zone. He's like he prefers

427
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: that because he said, I got more options in my

428
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: toolbox than then. It's amazing the Cardinals in the in

429
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: the in the fourth quarter overall, they only you know,

430
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: since the season started, ninety seven points, five touchdowns, two

431
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: field goals in the second half. Teams are only averaging

432
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: five point seven year point per half. And you've got

433
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: to go back to the San Francisco game, and in

434
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: the Rams game they had a late touchdown in garbage time,

435
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: so that obviously affects the numbers, but in the fourth

436
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: quarter they've only given up a touchdown in two field

437
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: goals throughout the entire season fourth quarter. That's incredible too.

438
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are too mere. Nonetheless, I think

439
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: it's a lot what the Cardinals had the lead and

440
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: they could bleed the clock with James Connor, you know.

441
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: But I do think teams are going for fourth down

442
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: because of analytics. But I also agree that they want

443
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: to keep Kyle Murray on the sidelines, right And I'm

444
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: just curious as we kind of inched closer towards that

445
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: halfway point. Real quick, what you think what part of

446
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: this defense has improved the most or what is standing

447
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: out to you most behind this success. Well, there's a

448
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: number of things. I think. On the back end, we're

449
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: playing far better than anybody anticipated. I mean, our guys

450
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: have been tremendous in coverage. Our linebacking corps, I mean

451
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: is playing about as good as we could have hoped for.

452
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: And um that I mean that includes the outside linebackers

453
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: and really, honestly, over the last two or three weeks, UM,

454
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: the big guys in the middle, UM are playing much

455
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: better and being more impactful and having a bigger impact

456
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: on the game. UM. So I mean it's I guess

457
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm on the fence because um, there is really on

458
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: this defense. And we talked about this. It's with Vance Joseph.

459
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: It's his ability to make in game adjustments because they

460
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: will show weaknesses or they will give up a play. Um,

461
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: but it doesn't get repeated, it gets stopped. And you know,

462
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: particularly struggles against the run game. You know, it happened

463
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the Minnesota game, but since then

464
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: it showed up in spurts and and we fix it.

465
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: And it's it's just been tremendous. His ability to adjust

466
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: not only to how what his personnel does best, but

467
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: to cater the defense to his players and their availability

468
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: and their abilities. You know, rush defense. Uh, you know,

469
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: obviously you know the gone against some really good backs,

470
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: but there's usually one or two drives in the game,

471
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden, when it comes to the

472
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: second half, they're able to shut those teams down and

473
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: they're scoring points. So teams got to play catch up.

474
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean they're ranked first and a lot of different categories,

475
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: points allowed, you look at third downs, I mean FOURK downs,

476
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: fumble recoveries. I mean, they're ranked number one in a

477
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: lot of different categories. And it's not a fluke. They're

478
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: doing it weekend and week out. The Dave Pass Podcast

Speaker 1: one on a REA twenty three to five. Boy, that

494
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: is a big time explosive play by the newest member

495
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals. First touchdown as a Cardinal in

496
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: his first game as a Cardinal. Not bad for tight

497
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: end zach Ertz. You heard Dave Passion Ron Wolfley on

498
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: the call. A history breaking a touchdown, zach Ertz became

499
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: the first NFL player to have receiving touchdowns and back

501
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: He had a touchdown in his final game as a

502
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagle on the Thursday night before and then of course,

503
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: forty seven yard touchdown career long for him in his

504
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: first game as an Arizona Cardinal. Welcome back into the

505
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: Cardinal's Red Sea Report with Mike Jaaki Kyle Van Debosh.

506
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm Danny Siak. Mike, did you expect zach Hertz to

507
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: come out of the gun that fast in this offense? Well,

508
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: yes and no, just from a standpoint that when you're

509
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: putting the game plan together, the Texans struggled. They were

510
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: in thirty first covering tight ends. They gave up the

511
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: most yards and most touchdowns. Now a small sample, and

512
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: we know that. You know, he obviously is a target

513
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 1: in the passing game. So I thought that would be

514
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: one of the key matchups going into that game, just

515
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: based on how they had a hard time covering the

516
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: tight end. I didn't know how many numbers are. I

517
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: didn't think he could a forty seven yard or because

518
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: he kind of he got chipped coming out of that

519
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: route and then all of a sudden he's running down

520
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: the field. But yeah, I mean, you talk about a

521
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: plug and play guy, and I mean he's so thrilled

522
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: to be here, and you know, obviously you know his

523
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: teammates and staying with usin Pugh just working on the playbook.

524
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: But I'm sure he's looking for a Friday to kind

525
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: of you know, settle down for a couple of day.

526
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: He's just because he's you know, going to Cleveland and

527
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: obviously trying to learn the playbooks, you know, sitting with

528
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: Kyler on the plane. But yeah, I mean this is

529
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: a great trade for Steve Kim And again he's he's

530
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: not as durable when it comes to blocking, but you

531
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: see the effort from him. He tries versus just be

532
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: a matador. Let the guy go around you. There's always

533
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: that the teams are going to make a push, right,

534
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: There's never gonna be a year where team's going to say, oh,

535
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, like not off to a great star. You know,

536
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: this is just not our year. We're not going to

537
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: make a push. But as a player, when the front

538
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: office makes a move like this, after Max Williams has

539
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: that season ending knee injury to bring in Zach Ertz,

540
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl champion, veteran Pro bowler, dual threat as a player,

541
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: what does that tell you? Kyle? You know that how

542
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: much does that tell you? I guess the front office

543
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: really believes and sees where this season is going. Yeah. Absolutely,

544
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: it shows that. You know, sometimes in the locker room

545
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 1: you're always all in. But to get that kind of

546
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 1: feeling from your front office, like, yeah, they believe in us,

547
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: they believe we're that team. This is our year, and

548
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: to continually try to upgrade the roster and bring in

549
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: real players, real players that can impact the outcome of games.

550
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: It feels great in the locker room because I, like

551
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: you said, having played twelve years, I've been on both

552
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: sides of it. There's years where we were all in,

553
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: we were trying to make a push, it didn't matter

554
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: what point of the season, we were trying to upgrade

555
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: the roster. And then I've been where you know, you're

556
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: just like, we're just gonna sit tight and see how

557
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: this rolls out, and you feel like the front office

558
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: is disconnected from the same goals that you have. But

559
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: here it seems like, you know, they're getting every indication

560
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: from Steve Kime, from mister Bidwell that hey, we're going

561
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: to give you all the resources you need to win

562
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: it all this year. Here's what Earths had to say

563
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: about his Cardinals debut from the podium after Sunday's game.

564
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: Winning football games is fun and that's why I came

565
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: here to be a part of this culture, of being

566
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: part of this environment and just hope anyway I can. Obviously,

567
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: the team has been rolling, and so I didn't want

568
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: to come in here and kind of mess it up.

569
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: So I'm glad we came out here and found a

570
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: way to win the first one. Obviously, I still got

571
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things to improve on to clean up

572
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: with Kyler, but overa I thought it was a great

573
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: way to start. Ertz finished with sixty six receiving yards

574
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: on three receptions in that touchdown. This is a team

575
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: that has a pretty long history of not necessarily utilizing

576
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: the tight end in the passing game as much. They

577
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: were starting to do that more so with Max Williams,

578
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: who was having a great season. Now you bring in

579
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz, who's an incredible dual threat who can not

580
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: only block but really be a threat to you in

581
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: the passing game. How do you expect them to utilize

582
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: ERTs moving forward throughout the season? Mike, Well, I'm a

583
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: big eleven personnel guy, and that's what I thought. Max Williams,

584
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, really was a difference maker because he can

585
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: block and then release, and Kyler, you know, his numbers

586
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: are much better from eleven in the nineteen yards and

587
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: he can throw that ball down the seam, and so

588
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a situation where you got so

589
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: many weapons on the outside, you got the running game

590
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: between the one two punch with Edmund and Connor, it's like, okay,

591
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: who do you double? We're not seeing teams roll cover

592
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: John at Hopkins now, so I think he's going to

593
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: be a big part of the offense. If teams right

594
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: now it seems like tight ends and running backs. It's

595
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: all about late linebackers and safeties. And I think that's

596
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: the league's has changed, where if you see you got

597
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: a matchup problem, then you throw the ball. But Kyler,

598
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: he trusts him, he catches the ball. So I think

599
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: he's you know, again, I don't know how many targets

600
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: are gonna give to each game, but if he's open,

601
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: and you know, Kyler's not forcing it, he's gonna get

602
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: his touches and targets. It almost feels like an embarrassment

603
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: of rich is the number of explosive offensive weapons this

604
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: offense as or it's realized pretty quickly in his first game,

605
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: how much those weapons can affect his game. Yeah, I

606
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen as much green grass in

607
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: the middle of the field as I have today. You know,

608
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: there's just so much talent in the skull position players

609
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Green or your outside guys. The

610
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: defense has to account for those guys each and every play.

611
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: And so my job is just always just be in

612
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, be where I'm supposed to

613
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: be when I'm supposed to be there. Make Kyler's job easy.

614
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: Kyle is a former defensive end. If you're a defensive coordinator,

615
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: how do you decide which area of this Cardinals offense

616
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: to shift your priority to? You don't I actually had

617
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: just written that down. You know when Kyler's two biggest

618
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: plays this game, and Kyler and Dave Pash says it

619
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, like there's only one person on the

620
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: planet that can make that play. Well, Kyler had two

621
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: of them. The one was the pass on a rope

622
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: to AJ Green in between two defenders with his toes

623
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: on the sideline. The other one was Kyler scrambling around

624
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: for about eight seconds hitting d hop on the other sideline.

625
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: So you think about the amount of green Grass in

626
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: between those two routes, like you've got two dynamic receivers

627
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: on the outside. And then you have, like zach Ertz

628
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: had all of this green grass in between, and that's

629
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: where Christian Kirk makes his hey, that's where Rondel Moore

630
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: gets his action. And when you have a tight end

631
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: that can find those open spaces in a zone, and

632
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: that's where zach Ertz will get his opportunity. So there

633
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: really is no way. You know, as ad coordinator, you

634
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: gotta pick your poison. You gotta be like, Okay, you

635
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: know what is our biggest threat? Um, So I guess

636
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: you determined that. But at this point, with so many weapons,

637
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: so many proven receivers, and so many guys that have

638
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: stepped up at different points this year, it is just

639
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: there's just so many riches on this offense. You know,

640
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: I was impressed with Kyler going back to Christian Kirk

641
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: after he dropped that ball, and then Aj Green. I

642
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: mean that he does is a ball dropping the bucket,

643
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: and I watched that play and replay and Aj Green's

644
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: just running down the field at the last second, he

645
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: puts his arms up last second, so maybe the dB

646
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: wasn't paying attention, but it was a great throw and

647
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: then he goes back to Kirk for the touchdown and

648
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: they've been together they you know obviously, you know, going

649
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: back to the college days and they're really close, but

650
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: not that he didn't have any trust him. But I'm

651
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: glad he went back to him because after the game

652
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: he said, I want to make sure I got Kirk

653
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown today. The effect of not having these reliable

654
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: weapons also really affects Kyler Murrays. He's not having to

655
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: run the ball as much, and that's what this organization wants.

656
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: They don't want him having to rely on his leads

657
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: as much as he has in the past. You want

658
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: to keep him safe, and so the fact that he

659
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: can't extend plays and he has so many reliable players

660
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: to either hand the ball off to or find down

661
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: the field is helping his game as well. We've seen

662
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: running back James Connor shut games down these last couple

663
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: of weeks in the fourth quarter, just running the ball down,

664
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: defensive throat, gritty, angry runs. We saw some Chase Edmonds

665
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: and that role this week too, though. Chase Edmonds to me,

666
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean everyone was wondering, you know, can he carry

667
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: the load? He was never going to be the bell cow.

668
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: There's only a few bell cows in the NFL that

669
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: carry the ball twenty five times a game. Chase Edmins

670
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: is really good from the twenty to twenty, but now

671
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, based on last year, you know Kyler wasn't

672
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: under center. You know Kendon Drake Rosen hitting the whole.

673
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds is a guy from the twenty to twenty,

674
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: and he's also really effective in the passing game. But

675
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: when you get the short yardage situation and the goal

676
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 1: line is James Conner and Chase doesn't have a touchdown

677
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: this year, but he's averaging eighty four point one yards

678
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: per game again rushing and receiving. So he's a big

679
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: part of their offense. And I think they both complimented

680
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: each other very well. Senator Ronnie Hudson is still on

681
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: IR with ReBs and shoulder injury. Backup Max Garcia is

682
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: now day to day. He popped up on the injury

683
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: report list with an achilles injury. So I'm curious the

684
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: confidence level Kyle and Sean Harlowe if Max Garcia doesn't

685
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: play Thursday. I've got ultimate confidence, I mean, and it's

686
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: based on what's already happened this year, shuffling guys, in

687
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: moving guys around. It's the confidence in coach Coogler and

688
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: what he does with his players and how he gets

689
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: them ready and how you know, they come up with

690
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: different schemes weekend and week out. And it's just the

691
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: confidence in the play calling with Cliff and Kyler, the

692
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: way he's running this offense. He's seeing the whole field.

693
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: You know, if there was one concern, my biggest concern

694
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: coming out of this game, it was how much Kyler

695
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: got hit. He took more big hits this game than

696
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: than I can remember, and that needs to stop that.

697
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: But that can be some offensive line. It can be

698
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: receivers not recognizing the blitz. It can be Kyler holding

699
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: on to the ball too long. But whatever they got

700
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: to do to get that fixed, you know, that's you know,

701
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: really the the only thing that can sidetrack this season

702
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: from from what I see, is if something happens to

703
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Now, getting Hudson back will settle things down.

704
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: And Josh Jones, I mean he's showing flashes obviously. You

705
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: know Garcia can play both guard and tackle. But getting

706
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: Hudson back, do you think they will help a guy

707
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: like Josh Jones where he's not feeling most pressures just

708
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: having him next to him, a kind of a sense

709
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: of security. Yeah, absolutely, in a center that blocks well,

710
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: he helps out both of his guards in a lot

711
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: of protections. Every week Kyler Murray makes at least one

712
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: play that makes your jaw drop and wonder how on

713
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: earth did he pull that off. We're on time about

714
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: one of those plays. And also look ahead at Thursday

715
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: night's game against the Green Bay Packers in just over

716
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Not an easy task preparing to face

717
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and on a short week, no less. Episode

718
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: five of Cardinals Folk Tales, entitled The Coin That Didn't

721
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen NFC Divisional game between the Cardinals and Packers

722
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: that included a do over on the overtime coin toss.

723
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Cardinals Red Sea Report on the

724
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Job gun snapped to Kyler Murray

725
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: drops back to throw, standing in the pocket, now throws

726
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: a deep ball near side in traffic. It's caught by

727
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: a j Green at the five, and he's knocked out

728
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: of pounds at the four yard line. What a throw

729
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: by Kyler Murray a third and twenty four They picked

730
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: up forty two yards. No way did that just happen.

731
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: He was covered too, just trying to secret took the

732
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: near safety Aj you know, told him the whole ass

733
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: of sideline just because you know, put him in a

734
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: bun and safety. He turned towards t kirk so at

735
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: that point and I just had to let it go.

736
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: He made a good catch, Just an unbelievable throw by

737
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray to perfectly lay the ball between two defenders

738
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: to find wide receiver AJ Green along the sideline on

739
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: third and long. Welcome back into the Cardinals Rights Report

740
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: with Mike Drecki and Kyle Van de Bosham Danny Siak

741
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: another week, another jaw dropping play. You guys even surprised though,

742
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: when Kyler makes throws like that. No, I'm actually surprised.

743
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: Early in the game he overthrew d Hop wide opening

744
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: the end zone. Those are the ones that surprised me.

745
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: Like it's almost like you expect Kyler to throw the

746
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: perfect pass where it can only get to his receiver

747
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: and defenders don't have a shot at it. Um you

748
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: get real surprised and it's happened a couple of times

749
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: throws to d Hot for touchdowns where you're like, man,

750
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: how did he miss that throw? It's it's almost like

751
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: when it's easy for him, then he then he sails

752
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: it or throws it in the dirt, But when it's

753
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: a really tough throw, he puts it on a rope

754
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: and puts in the exact right spot. What's refreshing to

755
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: me is he's recognized his defenses and when he starts

756
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: talking about where the safety was and again I mean

757
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: no Rodney Hudson in there. I think, you know, one

758
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: of the things when they made the trade is he's

759
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: going to help with the calls. But the game has

760
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: slowed down for him obviously, you know, he can recognize coverage.

761
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: He's not looking at one guy and then improvising. He's

762
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: staying in the pocket, going through his progression. So that

763
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: is a major, major advancement over the last couple of years.

764
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: And again I thought we got a chance to see

765
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: that in the first, you know, first month of the season,

766
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: and now it's carrying on to the second month of

767
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: the season. It's a short week, quick turnaround. After Sunday's

768
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: game against Houston before hosting the Green Bay Packers Thursday

769
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: night from State Farm Stadium. Here's how Kyler Murray is

770
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: approaching these next few days. I mean, I just think

771
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: you just gotta be ready. You gotta prepare for him quick.

772
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, everything's quicker, you know. I think whoever handles

773
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: the week better, you know, usually tends to play a

774
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: little bit better. So you know, hopefully, hopefully, you know,

775
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: we we understand when the task at hand and we

776
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: come ready to play. Kyl, you've had a few weeks yourself,

777
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: those short weeks getting ready from your experience, what's physically

778
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: or mentally the toughest part when you've got a Sunday

779
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: in a Thursday game. Yeah, it's the recovery. I mean,

780
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: for the most part, it's all mental preparation this week. Um,

781
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: you'll get some walkthroughs, possibly even jog throughs, but they

782
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: try to get you off your feet. They try to

783
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: get you to recover. And a Thursday game when I

784
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: was twenty three is far different than a Thursday game

785
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: when I was in my thirties, because you know, when

786
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: you're twenty three, you can bounce back by Wednesday like

787
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: nothing happened. And when you're in your thirties. I remember

788
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: playing on you know, Thanksgiving games, and you just don't

789
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: have it, you don't have that spring in your step.

790
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: It's it's it's you're willing yourself to get through that game,

791
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: and it's you can see it on both sidelines. It's

792
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 1: really difficult to bounce back and play in those Thursday games.

793
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: But now the benefit is when you have that extra

794
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: time after that game, it's like an extra buye week,

795
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: and a couple of days off during the season feels

796
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: like a week. And and so if you know, if

797
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: we can exactly like he said, it's all about which

798
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: team prepares better and which team comes you know, does

799
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: the right things in these in this short amount of time.

800
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: But you know, again just going back to the decisions

801
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: and the way this coaching staff has gotten this team

802
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: ready for every other game, with you know, the East

803
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: Coast trips and all of that. I'm confident that the

804
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals will do the right things this week to prepare. Kyle.

805
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: Being the home team, clearly the best team's gonna win

806
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Who will plays the best, But being the

807
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: road team advantage, Yeah, it's definitely advantage being a home team. Um,

808
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: it's such a short week. I mean, it goes by

809
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: so fast and you don't have enough time. I mean, honestly,

810
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: depending on how you did advance scouting. In advanced prep,

811
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: it's usually a pretty pared down game plan and you

812
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: miss extra you know, I'm sure the Cardinals will have

813
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: meeting time. I'm sure the Cardinals will have walked through

814
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: as yet Thursday, and it'll be difficult for Green Bay

815
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: to do those things when they're traveling on a Wednesday.

816
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl MVP, three time NFL MVP. The

817
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: list of accolades go on and on. Head coach Cliff

818
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: Kingsbury understands the challenge ahead of his team this week.

819
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: Defending Aaron Rodgers. It's not fun, I'll tell you that much.

820
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you turn on the tape and watch the

821
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: throws he's able to make, and just the way he

822
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: orchestrates that offense, get him into the right plays, get

823
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: him in the right checks, even when you have a

824
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: cover as all scheduled stuff is as good as anybody

825
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: that's ever played. And so yeah, it's it's some sleepless

826
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: nights when you're watching that film, Kyle, you've played against

827
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. What's the most problematic part of his game.

828
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: This Cardinal's defense is going to have to prepare for.

829
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot of things. He's smart. We always struggled.

830
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: He has, in my opinion, the best hardcount in the NFL.

831
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: He'll get you to jump off sides and then just

832
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: take a deep shot, and we fell for it over

833
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: and over and over. He's he's got he could put

834
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: the ball anywhere. He's got one of the best arms

835
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And he moves well. He still moves

836
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: well in spite of his age. He gets out of

837
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: the pocket, he buys time for his receivers to get

838
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: open scrambles for first downs when necessary. I mean, I

839
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: think he I know I saw one last week, but

840
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: he probably has a two or three rushing touchdowns this

841
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: year because when everybody's covered and they're trying to go

842
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: man on your receivers, m nobody accounts for that quarterback.

843
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: So it's it's a combination of things. But I would

844
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: say the biggest threat it's his arm strength and his intelligence. Yeah,

845
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers mentioned Darren's press conference that they actually

846
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: put in a lot of stuff last week knowing that

847
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: was going to be a short week. And they didn't

848
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: use it in that game, so he thinks there's gonna

849
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: be some carry over here. Now, No Davante Adams, he's

850
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: six and old. When Adams isn't on the field averaging

851
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: thirty four or thirty three points, So who's the I mean,

852
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: clearly he's We've seen the hell Mary's where he makes

853
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: guy's household names. It doesn't really matter, but obviously they're

854
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: going to miss their number one receiver. Oh absolutely. You

855
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: know Alan Lazard is playing well, I don't know that

856
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: he's a number one receiver. And Aaron Jones he's he

857
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: can be and it has shown that he is one

858
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: of the best running back in the NFL. So the

859
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: challenge will be not letting him get anything going early

860
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot. Like you know, most defensive game plans stop

861
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: the run early and at least make them one dimensional.

862
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: I know you don't necessarily want the ball in Aaron

863
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers hands, but Aaron Jones can wreck your game plan

864
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: as well. Green Bay's defensive coordinator Joe Barry also went

865
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. From the Cardinals standpoint, they're going

866
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: to see the return of outside linebacker Chandler Jones. Defensive

867
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: lineman Zach Allen, who have missed the last two games.

868
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: Defensive lineman Corey Peters has not been activated off the

869
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: COVID list, but Jones and Allen will be back. This

870
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: will be their first game in two weeks. So, Kyle,

871
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: do you think that you can just go full in

872
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: after practice or you know, is there going to be

873
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: some sort of snapcout? You think on those two they

874
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: may feel better now than the players that played last week,

875
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: so they might have they might be coming in with

876
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: fresh legs, and it's at a good time. I mean,

877
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, in spite of how well our defense is playing,

878
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, you add a player like Chandler Jones back

879
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: out on the field, and Zach Allen was playing his

880
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: best football prior to being put on the COVID list,

881
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: So you know, those guys will be a huge boost

882
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: to this defense. Six and one Packers going up against

883
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: seven and ozo Cardinals combined thirteen and one record, it'll

884
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: be the best combined win percentage for a Thursday night

885
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: game in October or later in their Super Bowl era

886
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. It's gonna be a great matchup. Mike.

887
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. Usually you get Division games, but give the

888
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 1: schedule makers a lot of credit. This is a great

889
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: match of probably the biggest game thus far in their

890
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: regular season. Seven to oh Arizona Cardinals looking for their

891
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: eight straight win against the six and one Green Bay

892
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: Packers led by Aaron Rodgers. It would be the first

893
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: time ever this franchise would start a season eight No.

894
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: That's Thursday Night from State Farm Stadium with a five
