Speaker 1: catch by Kirk in the ends over a touchdown, Oh

00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: baby Hufield. Here's Craig Griolu, Mike Jarecki and thirteen year

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: NFL veteran Drew Stanton. Good start on Sunday, Actually it

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: was a great start. I'm not sure the Cardinals could

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: have asked for a better start to week one. But

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: before we get into what happened on Sunday into and

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: to see in the thirty eighth thirteen win, you heard

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: it off the top. That's right, we have to officially

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: walk them in. Drew Stanton his first ever appearance on

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red Sea Reports, and maybe his first ever

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: appearance in this room. It's amazing how many guys that

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: come through the Arizona Cardinals just don't know that this

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: area exists. Did you know that this place existed? I

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: didn't know this place existed. I've been over you know

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: where they do the press conferences and stuff like this,

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: But this tucked in this little corns It's it's nice

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: A long time ago as a mail room where older

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: players would get their paychecks. That's what I heard. Yeah,

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean luckily we have correct deposit. Yeah, you're a

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: lot younger. We don't need to get into that. But

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: all right, let's not waste any more time. We'll get

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: into Chandler Jones, Kyler Murray, but let's go around the room.

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Drew will start with you. What stood out to you

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: your number one takeaway from the week one performance thirty

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: eight thirteen, Just a fast start. I mean, that's what

35
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: it takes that you have to take the fight to

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: teams like that when you go on the road, and

37
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: you know when you travel and you're going to the

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: East Coast to be able to come out and win.

39
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: Situational football and I talked about it on Sunday before

40
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: the game if they can be really good in that area,

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: because that's really what the NFL comes down to, and

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: they did that. The two things that stuck out to

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: me most obviously backed up football. Chandler getting that sacked

44
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: to start the tempo was huge. But then the one

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: that really probably went undocumented or unseen was that unbelievable

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: catch by DeAndre in the back of the end zone

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: because right there, if you don't get that, you're settling

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: for a field goal. And every time that they tried

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: to CounterPunch, Arizona came back and was able to keep

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: that lead extended, and that's very uncomfortable for that style

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: of an offense. Seventeen nothing and the Cardinals MJ never

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: looked back. Yeah, I'm gonna say physicality. You know the

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: fact that they were willing to defer the ball and

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: put the Titans offense on the field, and the way

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: they set the tone on both sides of the ball. Physicality,

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: and that's something they talked about the entire offseason. Yeah,

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: it was two things that GM Steve Khan talked about,

58
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: leadership and being more physical and on both sides of

59
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: the ball offensive line defensive line, more physical than the

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: Titans which I think MJ surprised a lot of people.

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it certainly surprised me. Well, you know, we've

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: talked about it in the last couple of days, and

63
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: I think drewid agree. Anytime you go in the game,

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: you hope to contain a guy like Derrick Henry and

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: then you hope to slow down a J. Brown and

66
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. And to me, that was a surprise. They

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: shut all three of those guys down. Yeah, they were

68
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: a big non factor. We'll get into that, but first up,

69
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: we go back to Sunday. In the Cardinals locker room,

70
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury addressed in the team a few

71
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: standout performances. So I re number fifty five tying the

72
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: franchise record with five sacks tailors, Hey, number ten doing

73
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: his stay tour city. Today's beyond another two testsound receptions

74
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: doing it look just like track. And then number one

75
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: all right with five total touchdown. With that, with that,

76
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: everybody's getting game ball. Hey, let's not be satisfied. We

77
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: just win. Expect this is the start of something big. Now,

78
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do it. We're gonna do it

79
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: together together. On three that is Chandler Jones breaking the

80
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: team down in the locker room. The other voice you

81
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: heard towards the end of there was J. J. Watts

82
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: saying it was expected. And that's what he said Drew

83
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: coming off the field. The cameras caught him saying, this

84
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: was not a surprise, this was expected. And I don't

85
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: know if anyone outside that locker room expected a performance

86
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: like that. I think we expected a high scoring game,

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: maybe back and forth, but just shutting down. As NJ

88
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: said earlier, No Derrick Henry, no Julio Jones, no AJ Brown,

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Tinnel. They were just basically registered non factors. Yeah,

90
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: it was a great job. I mean you could sense

91
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: that within this organization with Vance Joseph and and the

92
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: versatility of this team right now, that's what is most

93
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: exciting moving forward. You look at guys, especially linebacker play

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons to be able to have an effect not

95
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: only at the line of scrimmage but also in the

96
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: back end to get an interception. He was all over

97
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: the field. And yes, Chandler and his five sacks were tremendous,

98
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: and that as much as anything is going to shut

99
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: down Julio Jones and aj Brown from getting a chance

100
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: to even get started because you know that it's on

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback so fast that he doesn't have a chance

102
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: to even get the ball in their hands. You know,

103
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: excuse me. Cliff talked about you know, every time he

104
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: even walked by Vance's office during the offseason, he was

105
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: watching Titans film, and obviously when they acquitted Julio, but

106
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: he went back two or three years. And so for

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: these guys in the coaching staff, I don't think they

108
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: were surprised now again to shut those three guys down.

109
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: And Ryan Tannehill, you know, he's been a really good,

110
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: underrated quarterback, but he did not deal with the pressure

111
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, he was pressured. I believe seventeen

112
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: of forty one drop backs according to next Gen Stats.

113
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: It was better than forty one percent. But that pressure,

114
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: though Drew was just sometimes just four guys, five guys.

115
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't like there was a ton there was an

116
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: extra player coming in into the backfield, which is huge.

117
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: When you can get pressure with four, when you can

118
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: get home with four, it makes everybody else feel better

119
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: about what you're doing. Then you can drop guys back

120
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: into his own You can do all these things, and

121
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: if the quarterbacks are not completely accurate with this throw,

122
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: that's where you get those tip picks. You get those

123
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: things where you can kind of shut it down and

124
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: you're staying ahead of the chains. And Vance called a

125
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: tremendous game. And again they played hand in hand because

126
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: he looked offensively at what they were able to do

127
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: with the equal distribution across the board was remarkable. If

128
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: you can keep those levels of targets and catches for everybody,

129
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: it's going to be fantastic. What did you think of

130
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson? I mean, I thought he held his own.

131
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy probably could have had two picks. I mean,

132
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: the fact is that, you know, the Cardinals were really

133
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: excited about Byron Murphy, and obviously Marco Wilson stood out

134
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: in the FCC. I was thoroughly impressed with his debut. Yeah.

135
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: I saw him right off the bat that first game

136
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: in the preseason, even the way he carried himself, the

137
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: way he went out there, and it would never seemed

138
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: too big for him. Some guys have their eyes wide

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: open any of those things, and even talking with him postgame,

140
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: you could see he has that level of professionalism, that leadership,

141
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: quality already, where hey, he doesn't need to go out

142
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: there and talk about it. He's just going to back

143
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 1: it up with the way that he plays. And again

144
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: he made some great tackles. Because it's not a secret

145
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's going to run at corners. He's going to

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: be able to do that. They want to get the

147
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: edge and I think for those guys to answer the belt,

148
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: and like you said, they were close to having a

149
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: couple of picks. Byron Murphy very easily could have two interceptions,

150
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: one of which would ended up in a touchdown. So

151
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: it was a very excitable level of play across the

152
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: board for everybody. And it's kind of ironic that one

153
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: of the guys that's probably one of the best players

154
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: on defense, Buddha Baker, still had a good day but

155
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: wasn't a centerpiece as you would think. He had two

156
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: half tackles on Derrick Henry. In fact, that secondary only

157
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: had two tackles at all. And Isaiah Simmons this week

158
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: m Jay mentioned that, Hey, to contain Derek Henry, he

159
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: needs to stay off the secondary, and they did exactly

160
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: that well. I mean to the late in the game

161
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: where he was basically patting his stats. The fact is

162
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: that he everyone was concerned about his stiff arm, and

163
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: he gets to the second layer of four yard game

164
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: becomes a twenty yard game that did not happen, And

165
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: I think that was surprising. And again, you know, I

166
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: know there was a lot of hype about the Titans

167
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: based on what they did last year, going out and

168
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: getting Julio. But you start to look at Bud Dupree

169
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: coming off an acl generas Jenkins according to the rabel

170
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: his foot water course, I'm great there. I thought Fulton

171
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: played better than him. So I don't know how good

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: they're going to be in They gotta go to Seattle

173
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: this week and play Russell Wilson out on the road.

174
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: It might have been a good thing for the Cardinals

175
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: to get this Titans team in Week one as opposed

176
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: to later on, because you don't know when Derrick Henry

177
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: is gonna get rolling seventeen carries for fifty eight yards.

178
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: Ten of those seventeen Russian attempts though for two or

179
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: fewer yards. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury and what the

180
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: defense was able to do against King Henry. Those guys

181
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: got at him early, and they weren't able to get

182
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: into their play acction stuff because they couldn't establish the run,

183
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: and that was I think the key to most of

184
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: the game. It started from play number one, Drew. You

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: talked about setting the tone and Chandler Jones beating Taylor

186
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: Luan for the TfL on. Henry would have his way

187
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: with Luan throughout the entire game. But those early tackle

188
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: for losses, whether it was Corey Peters or J. J.

189
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: Watt and Derrick Henry, I think it was surprised because

190
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to get to the line of scrimmage

191
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: or even pass the line of scrimmage early on. Yeah,

192
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, I think that if you look at the

193
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: blueprint and it's a copycat league, right, you look at

194
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: what happened last year in the playoffs, you see that, Okay,

195
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: how can you stop this NFL leading rusher from getting going.

196
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: You don't want to get him comfortable, you don't want

197
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: to get him in his own and like MJ was

198
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: talking about a little bit of the yards that he

199
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: was getting, it was when they were playing soft coverage.

200
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: They were keeping everything in front of them, So those

201
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: statistics are a little bit tricky to even give him

202
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: that much credit for because he truly never got going downhill.

203
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: And again it's just a testament to the game plan,

204
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: but also those guys going out and executing it. Everybody

205
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: played their role at JJ that if a phenomenal job

206
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: of getting out there as Patton swim move being in

207
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: the backfield just wreaking havoc. And again that's infectious. You

208
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: play with emotion. That's how defenses need to come out

209
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: to be able to do that, especially on the road,

210
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: to take the crowd out of it. Henry's longest run

211
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: nineteen yards, it didn't happen until the third quarter. You

212
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: subtract those nineteen yards and MJ. Henry finishes sixteen carries

213
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: for thirty nine yards two point four yards per carry.

214
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: It's no different than what the Ravens were able to

215
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: do in last year's playoff game. And that's why the

216
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: Titans went one and done last season. Yeah, like I said,

217
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: I figured one of those guys would put up a

218
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: hundred yards whether it was rushing or receiving. And Julio

219
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: got a really bone had penalty he was going out

220
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: with Murphy didn't make Vrabel very happy, but Raybe will

221
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: announce after the game that they didn't prepare the team,

222
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: just certain formations that Cardinals were going to run, and

223
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: they didn't realize, you know, what the defense was going

224
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: to look. I think going into the game, we all

225
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: thought it's going to be a shootout based on the secondary,

226
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: the uncertainty with both secondaries. Caleb Farley didn't play a

227
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: high draft pick Molden, who they drafted in the third round,

228
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, so they I thought it would be a

229
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: high scoring gew but I thought one guy would kind

230
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: of try to carry them, but that did not happen.

231
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Thirty eight thirteen, the final, JJ Watton miked up. You

232
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: can go to the Arizona Cardinals official YouTube channel to

233
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: see some of that, and he was quoted as saying,

234
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: this is not a surprise. This is the expectation end quotes.

235
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: The bar has been sets. We know what this team

236
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: is capable of doing, and we'll get into what we

237
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,800

245
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red Sea Report on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

246
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Panni Hill takes fix the running trouble, gets hit, Chandler

247
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Jones forces a fumble, It's picked up by Corey Peter, hit,

248
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: run behind by Jones and sack. They cannot flock fifty five.

249
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: Here comes Chandler Jones. Another sack. Chandler Jones is abliterating

250
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: Taylor Lawan. A hit by Jones, fumbles the ball, HiT's

251
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: loose and recovered by the Cardinals. Another sack. Chandler Jones's

252
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: sport tying a career high handing Hill on fourth down

253
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: hit and sacked. Chandler Jones. Five sacks on the day

254
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: for fifty five. Right now, you could not find one

255
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: hair on Ryan Tanner Hill's back because it has been

256
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: thoroughly waxed. The professor who's got the PhD at backwackx.

257
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, with his fifth sack, spent more time in

258
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: the Titans backfield than Derrick Henry might have. Chandler Jones,

259
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: in addition to those career high five sacks, also had

260
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: six tackles, two forced fumbles, six quarterback hits, and four

261
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: tackles four loss And as we talked about it in

262
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: the opening segment here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report,

263
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: it was from play number one, Chandler Jones tackling Henry

264
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: for a three yard loss, and it just continued that

265
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: entire first quarter three sacks. Sack number three, by the way,

266
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: the one hundredth of Jones's career. Now he just needs

267
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: one more sack and he becomes the Cardinals all time

268
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: franchise sack leader. Chandler Jones a man on a mission,

269
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: Drew and well, from your perspective as a quarterback in

270
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: this league, when you have someone like that, are you

271
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: doing anything? Are you telling anything to the coaches, to

272
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: the tackles to try to figure out how to stop

273
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: fifty five from coming in and getting in my face?

274
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: You have to I think that starts throughout the course

275
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: of the week, though, And it was hard because there

276
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: wasn't much tape to go off of right then unless

277
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: their last preseason game. You didn't know where Chandler was

278
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: at and it's documented around here that he wanted a

279
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: new contract and he was going to go out there

280
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: and prove it. And so I think there's definitely ways

281
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: throught the course of this week for the Vikings to

282
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: prepare for that, whether they chip with a back where

283
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: they keep it tight ending, they try and just interrupt

284
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: and disrupt those passlines for him. But he's so good,

285
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, contorting his body in different ways of doing things.

286
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: He's so savvy when he's out there, and you have

287
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: to pick your poison because there's a lot of guys

288
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: up front that can hurt you. It is week one, MJ.

289
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: But Jones looked quicker. We've talked about how he's looked

290
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: in training camp. He's lost weight, he looks leaner, but

291
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,119
Speaker 1: getting off the ball, getting off the line of scrimmage,

292
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: and he had a step, sometimes a step and a

293
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: half before anyone realized where he was going, and they

294
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: were trying to run slide protection and he still was

295
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: getting there. And that's basically trying to say, we're gonna

296
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: make sure where he is. And I agree with Drew.

297
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be a little bit different. But

298
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: now that it's on tape. You have to defend it.

299
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: And there's other guys on that defense that can rush

300
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: the passer, Marcus Golden, you throw in a guy like

301
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons. I think Kennard did a really good job

302
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: set in the edge, and really it all started with

303
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: with the d line, whether they're getting a little pressure

304
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: and obviously fortunate then to throw the ball. But yeah,

305
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: he's motivated. He's betting on himself, and you know, we'll

306
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: see what happens. You know, it's one game. Last year

307
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: he came into camp out of shape. I think it

308
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: led to his injury. He was over over playing. He

309
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: had one SAC in five games. So listen, he's betting

310
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: on himself. But I mean you and I were talking.

311
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, what he did in that game a premier

312
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: pass rusher, that'd be a month's worth of work. Yeah, no,

313
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's remarkable. Do you look at that

314
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: and he's well on pace and everything, but you can

315
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: see just he's always been a technician and he was

316
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: a great teammate, being able to play with him when

317
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: he was here, But to see him take that step,

318
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, and he is playing with that chip on

319
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: his shoulder and you only need, you know, two or

320
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: three of those a game that can change the outcome.

321
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: He did it consistently five times, it was close to

322
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: a couple more. And the two strip sacks the two

323
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: forced fumbles. The Cardinals were able to score touchdowns off

324
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: of both of those turnovers. Head coach Cliff Kingsbury on

325
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: his defensive end slash outside linebacker, as good as I've

326
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: seen since I've been here. There's no doubt. I mean,

327
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: he was dominant. He's been unblockable in practice at times

328
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: where it's almost like I'm like, do we tell him

329
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: and go sit out a few series? Who we can

330
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: get a pass off? So I knew he was going

331
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: to impact the game. I didn't know he's gonna have

332
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: five sacks, but he's been playing an extremely high level.

333
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: There were question marks MG about Chandler Jones going into

334
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: this season, forget the contract, just because last year you

335
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: referenced it a torn biceps injury, only played five games,

336
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: he got hurt at New York against the Jets, and

337
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: just how was he going to be And it's a

338
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: arm injury versus a leg or a knee or an ankle,

339
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: but he certainly has worked hard to and even last

340
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean one sack in five games. He did not

341
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: get off to a good start a year ago, and

342
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: that's the difference this season. Yeah, and I'm sure that

343
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: when he went back to Luck at the film he

344
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: probably thought I wouldn't heavy. I just know I follow

345
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: him on social media. He was working out around the clock.

346
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, he may have not been here for everything

347
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: when it came to off season of stuff. But they

348
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: had a conversation on media day, him and the general manager.

349
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: I was walking down the hall and I walked out

350
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: with chanlad to that day, so clearly they had a

351
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: conversation as to you know, where they're at. I don't

352
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: know the information there, but the fact is that, you know,

353
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: he's a guy that feels like, you know, he deserves

354
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: a new contract and we'll just have to let a

355
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: play out. You know. Technically, the Cardinals do have the

356
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: franchise tagging back to back years. I don't think anybody

357
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: wins there, but they do have that in their back pocket. Now,

358
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: JJ Watt was held without a sack, but he still

359
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: was a presence along in that defensive line. Drew and

360
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: how much do you think his presence and the fact

361
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: that his history against the Tennessee Titans and all of

362
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: a sudden that they forgot about Chandler Jones. But it's

363
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: hard to block everyone when you have a Chandler Jones

364
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: and a JJ Watt, whether they're on opposite sides or together. Well,

365
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: I think all of those pieces add to the puzzle.

366
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: Right when you're a game plan and you go in

367
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: and you look at and you say, okay, who can

368
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: wreck a game for us? And we start there and

369
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: then like the Minnesota Vikings will do this week, how

370
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: can we stop Chandler Jones And then Isaiah Simmons, we

371
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: need to be able to put him in check. So

372
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: week one, when you don't know these variables and you've

373
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: got to go across the board and you look at

374
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: these guys that you mentioned, JJ Watts one of them.

375
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: But part of the reason why Steve Kyme and these

376
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: guys went out and got people like this was for

377
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: this very instance, much even like in the beginning of

378
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: the season last year, to go get Marcus Golden back here,

379
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: to be able to put pressure on the quarterback, because

380
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: that's where it all begins. When you can do that

381
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: and you have one guy you can key in on.

382
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: It's much easier than multiple guys across the front or

383
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: these different exotic packages that you're gonna be able to

384
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: get to with Isaiah Simmons, different guys rushing the passer.

385
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: It just creates problems in just another element to prepare for.

386
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Tennessee Schame Paul Calves catching up

387
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: with Christian Kirk and obviously everyone wanted to know what

388
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: was it like from their perspective on the sidelines watching

389
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones perform. You know, Chandler Jones might have put

390
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: on the best football performers I've ever seen in my life.

391
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean I saw it all offseason, you know, working

392
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: out and just seeing his mindset, the way he approached it,

393
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: and especially during during you know practice, you know, leading

394
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: up to this week. It's not surprising. And all those

395
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: guys all eleven over there, you know, they played their

396
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: hearts out. You know, I wasn't an easy task whatsoever.

397
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: And they came out and made a statement. Six total

398
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: sacks by the Cardinals. Michael Dogby had number six. There

399
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: were nine quarterback hits. But you brought up something Drew

400
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: about having a Marcus Golden, a Devon Kanard, Isaiah Simmons

401
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: and in a rotation along that defensive line where you

402
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: can't key on one guy, and that defensive line as

403
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: a whole, I thought did a great job of setting

404
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: the tone at the line of scrimmage and making sure

405
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: that Chandler Jones had those easy lanes into the backfield. Yeah,

406
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: they were very disruptive across the board, and as soon

407
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: as that doubt starts creeping and in the office of

408
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: line and they feel like they're getting pushed back, whether

409
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: it's one guy or two guys, you know, you can

410
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: taste that on a defensive line. And as far as

411
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: Chandler getting paid, like, everybody wants to see that. Within

412
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: that locker room, everybody's got each other's back, and that's

413
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: the beauty of this sport is even you know, in

414
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh it was talking about t J. Watt getting paid.

415
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: Guys want to see their teammates getting taken care of,

416
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: and so everybody was a cheerleader. I mean, you could

417
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: see how that affected everybody on the sidelines, even offensive guys,

418
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: because it's well noted and documented. A player of his caliber,

419
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: if you can get the most out of him, it

420
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: just makes everything else so much easier. By the way, Drew,

421
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: have you ever had Lebron James tweet about you during

422
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: the course of a ball game, not once, but twice?

423
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think no, not not in

424
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: any regard right, wrong or indifferent. That was something that

425
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, you get five sacks m J. And that's

426
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna open up a lot of people's eyes. And now

427
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: it's not that we expect this each in every week,

428
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: but Chandler owns he think. I think he has that

429
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: possibility of getting to that twenty mark and maybe even

430
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: beyond if things continue the way they are. Yeah, I mean,

431
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: I think if we get to the through the month

432
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: of September and where is he at, I mean I think,

433
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, if he's up to nine or ten, which

434
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe won the next couple of games or

435
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: a couple, I mean, now you're gonna start talking about

436
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: the record. I mean, I think it's feasible. Now again,

437
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: one game, I don't know if he's going to be

438
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: able to do that. Last year, Hassan Reddick had five

439
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: sacks against the Giants, and so again, I just think

440
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to do that weekend and week out, especially

441
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: now when they're going to put a target on you. Well,

442
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: and that's the thing. Now it's on film, and how

443
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: do you adjust. And maybe this does open it up

444
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: now for a Marcus Golden on the other side, or

445
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: JJ Watt to get loose, or someone else that would

446
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: have not maybe this kind of a day Drew, but

447
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: someone that could cause some headaches for that Vikings offense. Exactly,

448
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: it opens the door for a Hassan Reddick type of

449
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: performance because everybody was keyed on Chandler last year, and

450
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: I think you feel good going into it when you

451
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: have a high paid left tackle like Taylor, the one,

452
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league, and Chandler can

453
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: abuse him like he did there a time and time again.

454
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Now again, the structure of the game, how it played out,

455
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: all of those things add into that. But if you

456
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: can just get one or two of those a game

457
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: and pile those on, then yes, you are talking logistically

458
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: about being very close to the record, which at this

459
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: point in time after a week one where you sit,

460
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: there's no reason to believe that it's not attainable. And

461
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: then there are other plays in which Chandler did get

462
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: close or someone else would get close, and that pocket

463
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: was not alive for very long for Ryan Tannehill to

464
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: where I think a lot of those throws he rushed

465
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 1: just to avoid getting hit. Oh yeah, I mean, it

466
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who you are when you're a quarterback and

467
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: you're sitting back there and you feel like the time

468
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: clock speeding up and speeding up and speeding up. The

469
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: greatest quarterbacks in this league when you start getting pressure

470
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: on them, you feel that around your feet, you start

471
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: hurrying and throws. You look at that, You look at

472
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in the Super Bowl against the Giant. It

473
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who you are. Once you start feeling that,

474
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: hearing that, especially on your blind side, that clock speeds

475
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: up and you rush throws, you miss throws. That there's

476
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: a level of comfort that goes away as soon as

477
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: that happens. And that happened right off the bat. You know,

478
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: from the very beginning for the Cardinals. Now, when it

479
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: comes to playing the quarterback position, you played in thirteen

480
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: years in the NFL, I always talk about Saxon and

481
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: a guy plays sixty five snaps a game. He may

482
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: get one or two, but the hurries, pressures knocked down

483
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: to get you off your spot. How effective it is

484
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: that for any defense, it's huge. I think especially guys

485
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 1: that are comfortable getting off the spots the biggest thing,

486
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: because that's where the mistakes occur, when you're not being

487
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: able to throw from a platform, when you're not being

488
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: able to throw consistently, and the vast majority of guys

489
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: in this league, it should be able to take a

490
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: three step drop, being rhythm hit their guy when they

491
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: have a clean pocket. Now there's the other component that

492
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist very often, especially with defensive coordinators getting

493
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: creative with different line games, with different pressures. Blitz is

494
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: all of those things. So then it becomes this cat

495
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: and mouse game of how can you keep it up front?

496
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: And you look at a guy that comes to mind

497
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: that always had a very solid pocket in the interior,

498
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. He was very comfortable, even though he was short.

499
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: He always had that clean feet so he could be

500
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: able to keep his wide base, stay very unbalanced and

501
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: be able to deliver the ball accurately. When you start

502
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: messing with that, when you start feeling uncomfortable, or you know,

503
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: you have hands in front of your face, or any

504
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: of these things, and you feel that internal push, it

505
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: becomes extremely difficult to continue within a play action passing game.

506
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: The timing of all of those things of the Julio

507
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: Joneses and AJ Browns, everything gets a little bit helter

508
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: skelter and it flows from there. Ryan Tannehill just twenty

509
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: one of thirty five for two hundred and twelve yards.

510
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: Julio Jones three catches, A J. Brown four catches, so

511
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: seven catches combined on fourteen targets. And there were was

512
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: a lot of misfiring by Ryan Tannehill, and we'll get

513
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: into that as the show continues here. As we have

514

527
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: talk about that next here on the Arizona Cardinals radio network.

528
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Snaps Murray straight dropbacks, feeling pressure blushed out of the

00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: pocket of the right now throws back across the middle

530
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: and it's caught in the back of the end zone

531
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: by Hopkins. Penny guy us feet down for the touchdown.

532
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: Quick throw over the middle, Hopkins has a catch of

533
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: the ten, turns to his lapt at the five head

534
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: hit payd touchdown. DeAndre Hopkins run Murray to the right,

535
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: sticks the ball out, walks into the end zone, pitches

536
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: it to the official, hits a two yard touchdown run

537
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: that's JJ Watt eye candy on the left side of

538
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: a fade deep right side over the shoulder, catched by

539
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,479

Speaker 1: yards through the air, just twenty yards on the ground,

546

Speaker 1: fo two on the field. As we walking me back

548
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: here to the Cardinals Red Sea Report, Craig Riel, Drew Stanton,

549
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: and Mike Drecki here talking at the cardinals thirty eight

550
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: to thirteen win in Week one over a very good

551
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans team, a team many people believe could be

552
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: potential Super Bowl contender here in twenty twenty one. Obviously

553
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: they were not looking like that in Week one. But Drew,

554
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: it's great to have you here on this particular day,

555
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: giving your background at the quarterback position. For what you

556
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: saw on Sunday, Was there a particular touchdown throw or

557
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: the touchdown run or maybe there was something else Kyle

558
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: the Murray's game that really stood out to you. Well,

559
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: I think he talked about even in the offseason about

560
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: not wanting to run too much, staying healthy, and that's

561
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: a key element, right There's going to be designed runs

562
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: that happen on the goal on keeping people honest and

563
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: and making them defend all eleven players in every aspect.

564
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: When you get in the red zone against situational football,

565
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: how you can you make sure that you're getting touchdowns

566
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: as opposed to kicking field goals. And I think he

567
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: did a great job of delivering the ball to everybody.

568
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: I mean, even though aj Green only had two catches,

569
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: I think he got targeted six times everybody across the ball.

570
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: Row though Moore was catching the ball, he did a

571
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: great job of utilizing his backs. So anytime you get

572
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: that and you can convert that. But really, to me

573
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: and everybody around here in Arizona is known at Christian Kirk.

574
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: If he can just stay healthy and I said this

575
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: in the broadcast before, he can be an X factor

576
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: for you because you look at that the over the

577
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: shoulder catch, you know, the Willie Mays catch that he

578
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 1: made for the touchdown was tremendous. And being able to

579
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: handle pressure, to show that you can handle pressure as

580
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback, that's not just for week one. That's an

581
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: entire thing that carries on because everybody's watching that film

582
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: and you show that you can beat pressure and you

583
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: can handle it, you're not going to see it because

584
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators are terrified by that. All right, let me

585
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: ask you this. I found out that Christian Kirk's playing

586
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: in the H position, which a lot of people tell

587
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: me that's natural position. What's the difference between X, Y

588
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: and Z and H. You know what, I don't know

589
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: if I've heard of H F. I assume in the

590
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: same the same thing. And for me, being on the

591
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: inside and being comfortable within that role, I think is

592
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: great for him because he is dynamic. You look at

593
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: that of what a traditional guy than Andy Isabella or

594
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: rondelmore putting him in the slot, but Christian can do

595
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: all of those things, and he can stretch the field

596
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: for you, even from the slot position, and being able

597
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: to get those matchups because sometimes when you're going up

598
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: against slot corners, guys that like to guess more, guys

599
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: that like to undercut routes, and when you have the

600
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: speed to beat that vertically down the field like he

601
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: did on that touchdown in a tremendous job, and being

602
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: able to do that multiple times and set that is

603
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: just going to be able to expand the field even more.

604
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: Because DeAndre Hopkins is going to get his targets, I

605
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: would assume AJ is going to get his targets. But

606
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: if Christian Kirk can be that X factor on the

607
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: inside or the H factor for lack of a better term,

608
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: he can really do some things because that's the comfort,

609
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: that's the security blanket when you find a guy and

610
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: he can win that matchup because the outside corners, those

611
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: are guys getting paid a ton of money. The slot

612
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: corners than Nichols, those are the guys that are a

613
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: little bit more savvy, longer than the twos. Might not

614
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: run as well, but are going to be able to

615
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: do that and not probably make as much money. What

616
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: did you see from Kyler sitting more in the pocket?

617
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: We talked about it in the entire offseason with that

618
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: U shape Rodney Hudson up front. What did you think

619
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: of Murray about stay in the pocket and going through

620
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: his progressions. I think he did a tremendous job of

621
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: just being comfortable right that. You can see that when

622
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: guys get antie Ryan Tannehill, he was not comfortable in

623
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: the pocket. Kyler was very comfortable stepping into his throw,

624
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: is changing arm angles, being able to put different touch

625
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: on the ball when he needed to, or you know,

626
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: let it unleashed because he's got a very strong arm,

627
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: But you don't always need to make that throw you can,

628
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: you know. I think the more air you put under

629
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: the ball, the less accurate you have to be, because

630
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: you give your wide receiver the ability to adjust to

631
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: the ball in the air. And he did that twice

632
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: with Christian Kirk, and Christian caught both of those, which

633
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: was great because both of them were contested, and I

634
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: think that being able to do that have confidence across

635
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: the board with every single target that you're throwing to.

636
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: It's a testament of the offensive line of what they're doing.

637
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: But also the run game. You look at that balanced carry,

638
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: that one A, one B that everybody's talking about too.

639
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: Being able to do that and then rely on Kyler's

640
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: feet just a little bit is really the game plan

641
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: you want moving forward. There was a lot of air

642
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: under that first touchdown throw to Christian Kirk. The bass

643
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: get catch you referencedrom Wooly May's, while Christian Kirk post

644
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: game with Paul Calves brought up Wooly May's as well. Yeah,

645
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: it was kind of my nickname all week because I

646
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: made the same catch in practice, so everybody was saying

647
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: that was a Wily May's catch, you know, all practice

648
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: all week and then you know, I came out here

649
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: and was able to recreate it basically on the same

650
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: play and same throw. So I'm glad, you know, we're

651
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: taking it from practice to the game and being able

652
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: to execute now Kingsbury. On Monday, Drew said that Murray

653
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: checked into that play and a play that they did

654
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: practice during the week. Yet I don't know, we see

655
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: it a lot, but when Kyler Murray throws off his

656
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: back foot, it doesn't look good. It found its way

657
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: into the arms of Christian Kirk. But that play just

658
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: had so much wrong to it. Yet to hear that,

659
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it's a design play. We work on it

660
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: and it was successful in practice and once again successful

661
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Well, I think the playoff started with Rodney

662
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: Hudson and being able to identify pressure and change the

663
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: protection to get it to a max protection to allow him. Okay,

664
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: I see that. I understand that, Yes, he checked it.

665
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: He did everybody good on the outside, but Rodney shirted

666
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: up on the inside and being able to do those

667
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: things communicate. Those were the missing pieces last year where

668
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: Kyler's kind of scrambling or doing all those things even

669
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: where he kind of scrambled a little bit like a

670
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: half roll on the touchdown to DeAndre that he threw

671
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone. Those are the

672
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: things that don't get documented that make all the difference

673
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: for a quarterback to feel comfortable with Rodney saying, Okay, well,

674
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: let's slide everything, let's shore up this pocket, and we

675
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: know then the one guy that you got to negotiate,

676
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: we're going to leave him for you. So it was

677
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: a great play by Kyler knowing that, but I would

678
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: imagine there's a little bit of Hey, thanks a lot

679
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: for getting to that, Rodney, and that right there, MJ

680
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: is why we have players on this show. And it's

681
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: good to have a quarterback perspective because that's the one

682
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: thing that we did not discuss when we discussed that play,

683
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: either a postgame or this week, and that's seeing the

684
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: entire field, not just where the ball is. Oh. I

685
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: can't tell you how excited we were when he found

686
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: out that Drew could be interested. And we've had defensive

687
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: players Kyle Manning, Boss, Rob Frederickson, Bertram Berry and so

688
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: now we get it from the other side of the

689
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: ball and great insight there because a lot of things

690
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: we don't see and we think we know, but we

691
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: always look at the result what could have happened. Now,

692
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: a couple of those runs who were negated by penalties.

693
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: You had a holding penalty by rondel Moore and you

694
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: had a holding penalty by A. J. Green. I think

695
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna miss Larry at least in the blocking there.

696
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: But what about him running out of bounce instead of

697
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: throwing the ball away and taking that sack. Well, that's

698
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: something you just kind of sit back and like, man,

699
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: I wish I wouldn't have done it, And nobody hates

700
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: that more than an offensive line coach. I can tell

701
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: you that from being around this league is you know

702
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: Cooga's probably went up to him or he was griping

703
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: at some point during the week, because you know that

704
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: gets put on their stat sheet and that's where they

705
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: make their hey. But again, it's a learning process. It's

706
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: something that you just talk about and you move on

707
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: and you hope it's not replicated throughout the course of

708
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: the year. And it could be weak one Jit or

709
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: is it could be anything, but again that's small down

710
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: the show. It didn't affect him, Yeah, it didn't affect

711
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: him and again like it was great to not see

712
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: him just put his head down and run and keep

713
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: his eyes up and try and create an extent plays

714
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: because he's so good at doing that. Kyler Murray finished

715
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: with three hundred and nine total yards five total touchdowns.

716
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: Of course, obviously it was good to get the win

717
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: thirty eight to thirteen. Kyle the Murray post game asked

718
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: about how to sustain that opening week's success. How are

719
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: you sustaining You gotta keep working hard, keep the mindset,

720
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: and that's what we'll do. You know, like I said,

721
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: I won't let our offense get him placent. We know

722
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: how good we can be. We know the Scott's the

723
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: limit force. But at the end of the day, penalties, turnovers,

724
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: stuff like that can happen. You know. I was talking

725
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: to somebody earlier today upstairs, and they feel like that

726
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is definitely matured and he's become a better leader.

727
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if a be a great leader just

728
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: because maybe he's not vocal, but he this is his

729
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: football team. What have you seen the growth in the

730
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: last couple of years or from last year to this year. Well,

731
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: I think it's just the maturation process of knowing what

732
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: to expect. And I don't think you have to be

733
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: a vocal leader to be a great leader. I've been

734
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: around some guys that were phenomenal leaders that did it

735
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: in different forms, in different ways. Some people would doubt

736
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: their leadership, even at the quarterback position, because well, he's

737
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: not a raw rock guy. He's not this or not.

738
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean even Carson. Some people would say that. But

739
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: if you knew what Carson would do behind the scenes,

740
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: building relationships and doing all of that, there's so much

741
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: that can be made in that as opposed to sitting

742
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: out there and leading a who ras session before the game.

743
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: If that's not in your temperament, if that's not who

744
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: you are, and everybody have been around at this position,

745
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: younger guys, I was like, you have to be authentic

746
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: with who you are, and then people will gravitate towards them.

747
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: And I think within him, he's still kind of getting comfortable.

748
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: And he came in here, and you know, it took

749
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: some lumps early on to win as many games and

750
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: lost more games than you know, a month, than he

751
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: did ever in his whole life, and through those trials

752
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,479
Speaker 1: is where you get the most growth and I think

753
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: through going through that being honest about the evaluation process

754
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: of where you really need to do and what you

755
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: need to do to take that next step to be

756
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: a playoff team, to get into the dance to get

757
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: a chance to win a ring. Then you started looking

758
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: at Okay, well here's where I can do that. And

759
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big proponent of that room being

760
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: very solid and going out and get in a guy

761
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: like Colt McCoy that's been there, done that and adds

762
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: a level of consistency. Just somebody to bounce the wall,

763
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, bounce the ball off the wall with, and

764
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: just feel comfortable. Create that safe haven for the quarterback

765
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: is so important. Kyler brought that up before the season started,

766
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: about what we see versus what his teammates see in

767
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: that locker room, as far as how vocal he is,

768
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: how much he does speak, because there is a difference

769
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: between being around your teammates versus being around people that

770
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: you're just not familiar with or comfortable around. So, Kyler Murray,

780
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: Some we already have, but we'll get into that as

781
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: we continue here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network, they

782
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: run Henry off the left side and he's dumped immediately

783
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: and it's Isaiah Simmons knifing into the backfield to take

784
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: him down. I want to play by Simmons. You want

785
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: to talk about playing Downhill. Isaiah Simmons coming from the backside,

786
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: the weak side, inside linebacker, making a play on King

787
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: Henry's baby. Tan Hill takes the shotgun, snap backs up

788
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: as time steps up, throws over the middle to flect

789
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: it into the air, and it is intercepted by Isaiah

790
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: Simmons at the forty five yard line. Isaiah Simmons where

791
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: a heads up plague a team high seven excuse me seven?

792
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: Solo tackles, but a team high nine tackles, including that

793
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: interception and a couple of passes defense for Isaiah Simmons.

794
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 1: Five of those tackles on Derek Henry and yes, Isaiah

795
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Simmons in year two, quite the difference from a year

796
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: ago Week one at San Francisco. As we welcome me

797
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: back here to the Cardinals Red Sea Report, Craig Gray, Luke,

798
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton and Mike Dreck you talking about Isaiah Simmons

799
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: and some of the other standouts which we have kind

800
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: of touched on here and there, but MJ, you look

801
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: at Simmons specifically. He was on the postgame show with

802
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: Paul Calves and he said that he probably thought he

803
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: played four different positions, which is kind of probably where

804
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: we're going to see him, but he was wherever that

805
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: football was, there was number nine. Yeah. I mean, now,

806
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: I think if you're an opposing offensive coordinate, besides I

807
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: D and where JJ Watt and Chandler Jones, you've got

808
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: to find out where Isaiah Simmons. He can line up

809
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: in the slot, he can cover tight ends, he can

810
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: rush the passer, and you know last year was a

811
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: struggle early on No. Preseason, no offseason, and I thought

812
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: he would make a huge jump. And he's one of

813
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: the playmakers on defense. I mean the fact that he

814
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: was in position to make that interception. You know, he's

815
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: not as physical as Aaman Collins, but he still likes

816
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: to lay the lumber. So I'm really excited and bullish

817
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: about him in his second year. And I think Drew

818
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: it was not lost on people, but we didn't know

819
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: just how much it means to have an entire offseason,

820
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: an entire preseason, and those reps, especially for young players,

821
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: especially for a rookie. All of a suddenly, the first

822
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: time we see him in uniform is Week one in

823
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco. He gets burned, mighte gets lost in his

824
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: head a little bit. We don't see him until later

825
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: on in the season. Now it's this is what the

826
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals and why they drafted him in the first round. Yeah,

827
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: when you make a top ten pick and you invest

828
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: that in somebody and Steve kind believes in you in

829
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: that way, these are the results you want to see.

830
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: These are the games that you want to grow accustomed to.

831
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: And as he was talking about, when you're playing for

832
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: different positions, that's hard enough to learn one position and

833
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: the keys and the checks within what's going on and

834
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: then be able to go out and play fast. And

835
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: so by having a longer time period in the system,

836
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: being comfortable with all of it, you don't have to

837
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: think as much. You just go out and play in

838
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: its reactionary. There's a confidence level that goes in with that.

839
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: And seeing the way that he was able to affect

840
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: the game at each level in the backfield, at the

841
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, you know, the mid level, and then

842
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: again off of the pick that Michael was talking about, like,

843
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: you get a chance to see how versatile he can

844
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: be when he's comfortable, and it's a really really exciting

845
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: dynamic to add to the game. Well, here's his head coach,

846
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury and what he saw from Simmons. He's a gamer,

847
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. He shows up and he loves to

848
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: play when you get him out there when the lights

849
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: are on. So it was fun to watch. You know,

850
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: he's a guy who we've moved around some and just

851
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: continues to flash and make plays. Talked about Simmons having

852
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: those two passage defense by ra Murphy had three passage

853
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: defense that entire secondary did its job against Julio Jones

854
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: and A. J. Brown And now you look MJ at

855
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: week two. Not a replica, a replication as far as offensively,

856
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: but Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, Adam Feeling. What

857
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: we talk about the Titans good quarterback, good running back,

858
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: two good wide receivers, and the Cardinals defense is going

859
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: to see it again this week. Yeah, I want to

860
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: get Drew's thoughts before we have to sign off. How

861
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: do you think Mike Zimmer is going to attack this

862
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: Cardinal offense? Yeah, well, I think it's well documented how

863
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: he approaches defense. He's very aggressive. He wants to play

864
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: more zone, but he's trying to get you in his

865
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: zone pressure style of play. He's gonna have those linebackers

866
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: up on the line of scrimmage. He doesn't want to

867
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: let you just sit there and try and run the

868
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: ball down your throat. He's going to have a very

869
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: gap sound defense, but then there's a cat and mouse

870
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: game that goes within that. He's going to try and

871
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: break down your protection. He's going to try and attack

872
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: protection and see where he can find that weakest length

873
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: and get the ball out of his hands to make mistakes. Again,

874
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: it comes down to turnover. So being great and situational

875
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: football is where it would start from my standpoint. And

876
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: again you're getting Patrick Peterson back in here, so there's

877
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 1: there's no shortage of drama there. Yeah, there's the other

882
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: Week one MJ. The Vikings lose in overtime on the

883
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: road of the Bengals twenty seven, twenty four, and just

884
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: doing a little reading on what happened in that game

885
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: from the Vikings perspective, they're going back to the twelve

886
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: penalties eleven called against the offense. Yeah, and they had

887
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: more penalties that were negated and literally they were in

888
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: position to win the game Delvin Cook fumbled the football

889
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: they would have got in field goal range. Yes, it

890
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: was overtime and Cousins through for a tony yards, but

891
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: the penalties really hurt them, put them behind the sticks.

892
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: Just undisciplined football team at that point. But they had

893
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: a chance to win if he didn't fumble the ball. Yeah,

894
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: it was not good from the Vikings perspective, Drew, you

895
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: brought up Patrick Peterson if you're the Cardinals. Kingsbury was

896
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: asked specifically about it on Monday. Is that something that

897
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: you would target in your game plan and very pc

898
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: Kingsbury says, No. I'm looking to get my matchups the

899
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: best I can no matter what. But when you have

900
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: a player that returns and is going to be amped

901
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: up probably the biggest game he's circled it on the calendar,

902
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: do you try to exploit that or try to make

903
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: that to your advantage somehow? On the other side, now,

904
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, once you get going and you get rolling again,

905
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: the balance across the board of guys getting the ball

906
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: in their hands from the wide receiver position, you feel

907
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: good about whoever it is. So as a guy like Kyler,

908
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: he's going to go through his read, his progression wherever

909
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: the ball takes you, you you feel confident about it. Now

910
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: you have to be cognizant that Patrick is one of

911
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: the best corners in this league over the last decade,

912
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: but you're also not afraid to go after it like

913
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: this wide receiving corps is as good as it gets

914
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I would take a matchup like that,

915
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: and you have to test the water a little bit. So,

916
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean Patrick, it was a phenomenal teammate, a great

917
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: guy to play with, one of the best corners in

918
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: this league. And so he's going to be fired up.

919
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you have to go out,

920
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: you have to execute your game plan or whatever that

921
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: may be, and quickly here if they're playing zone that

922
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: Kyler's going to be going to go through his progressions,

923
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: be a little bit more accurate. Yeah, I think just

924
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 1: ball placement becomes big and Patrick. Patrick then has eyes

925
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: on the quarterback as opposed to the defender, and so

926
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: he can jump stuff, he can do things. And Patrick

927
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: is very smart. Again, when the ball's in the air,

928
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: he's like a wide receiver, So you have to be

929
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: cognizant of that. Those skills don't diminish. Even though you

930
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: think his speed isn't there. He's going to have every

931
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: ounce of energy and give you everything he has across

932
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: the ball and they have to be prepared for that.

933
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: Off the top of your head, real quick, how many

934
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: times did Patrick, if at all, beat you Friday in

935
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback challenge, getting them his footballs into the garbage can. Oh.

936
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: Every once in a while he got lucky and they'd

937
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: fall in, But most of the time he just paid

938
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: his way out so they didn't have to wear the costume.

939
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: All or nothing, that's all I gotta say. Just go

940
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: some great stuff, Drew, appreciate it. One down and we'll
