Here's Craig Griolou, Mike Jarecki and three 12 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: time pro bowler Kyle Vandenbosch. It's always good to have 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: a plan. In fact, I would recommend having a plan, 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: but sometimes those plans can change, and he needed a 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: plan B, Plan C A lots has changed and continues 16 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: to change with the Arizona Cardinals. As we work our 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: way towards one PM, that is the deadline around the 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: National Football League in which teams have to reduce their 19 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: rosters to a maximum of fifty three players, we will 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: get into that, because some cuts have already been announced, 21 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: but there are some other changes going on, some unforeseen. 22 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: A big change happened on Friday, and the fact that 23 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: the Cardinals game at New Orleans had to be canceled 24 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: because of Hurricane Ida the right decision, if you ask me. 25 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: But off the top here, gentleman one, it is good 26 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: to see everyone here and back inside the Dignity Health 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Training Center, a place that we were informed 28 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: Kyle before the show that this little studio did not 29 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: exist back when you played No This used to be 30 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: my favorite room though, because this is where I would 31 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: come pick up my paycheck. But it looks quite a 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: bit different now. It's a nice little set up you 33 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: guys have here. Well are we welcome you here to 34 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: this radio studio. And before we get into what happened 35 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: over the weekend, MJ the news late Monday afternoon that 36 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: we don't have any clarity on as head coach Cliff 37 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: Kingsbury said moments ago. Quote remains to be seen Malcolm 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: Butler and his future with this organization. The report from 39 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: the NFL network is that he is contemplating retirements. The 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: timing of this seems a little odd considering we are 41 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: inside of two weeks before the start of the regular season. Butts, 42 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: as we heard from Devon Kannard and Christian Kirk, teammates 43 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler, you just want the best for the player 44 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: of the person, and right now we are just waiting 45 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: to figure out what is going to happen. You look 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: at Malcolm Butler, I think we are all were excited 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: when they made the signing, considering, you know, his credentials 48 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: and what he was able to do in New England 49 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years in Tennessee, and you're thinking, 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: all right, and on paper, you know, you look at 51 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: him maybe as a quarterback two. I think Byron Murphy's 52 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: quarterback one, and then you're throwing Alford and then marcol Wilson. 53 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, you hope the best for him, you know. 54 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: But at the same time, though I agree with you 55 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: about the timing. You know, was he thinking about this 56 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: here in training camp? When did it? Because usually you 57 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: guys go to training camp in the first week and 58 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: they tap out. He went through the entire training camp 59 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: and decided right now that he's got to know obviously 60 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: make a decision, and the Cardinals could put him on 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: a reserve list where they would own his rights if 62 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: he wants to play at some point this year or 63 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: next year. Try to get a lead pick for that. 64 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: But I think a lot of people in the building 65 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: were surprised to hear the news that he's leaning with 66 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: possibly retiring as a player. Kyle, the feeling within that 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: locker room when news like this hits. And I'm sure 68 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler doesn't go and talk to every single player, 69 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: but within that cornerbacks room or just within that defensive room, 70 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: how do you handle this situation when this happens with 71 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: a player. Wasn't that long ago? Offensive lineman Gerald vel 72 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: Deer contemplated retirement, took a couple of days off during 73 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: training camp, ended up returning. But these things do happen. 74 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: There is real life situation outside of what we see 75 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: on the football field. Yeah. Obviously, as a player, you're 76 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: invested in the team and you worry about what the 77 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: team's going to look like. Um, you want the best 78 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: for the team. You're always focused on what can I 79 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: do to help this team get a win? Um, But 80 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: you become close with your teammates and you have a 81 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: love when you when you share a field, and you know, 82 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: you you all sweat the same sweat, bleed the same blood. 83 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: On that practice field. You become really close and you know, 84 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: something that we didn't talk about when I played UM, 85 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: not very many people talked about five years ago or 86 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: even a year ago, is just the mental health. And 87 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: as a professional athlete. UM. You know, some big time 88 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: athletes have come out within the last you know, six 89 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: months and talked about how hard it is and the 90 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: mental struggles that you go through and the personal problems 91 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: that you have to deal with away from the field 92 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: that also sometimes make it difficult to perform at a 93 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: high level on the field. And again it's I don't 94 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: want to speculate, it doesn't matter to me what he's 95 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: going through. But as as a teammate, you just want 96 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: what's best for him and whatever his decision is and 97 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: whatever he can live with and whatever he needs to 98 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: do to take care of whatever he's dealing with. That's 99 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: what you want for him, and you want in the 100 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: end for him when his career is over, whether it 101 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: be now or whether it be in two years, you 102 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: want him to live a long and happy life. And 103 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to look in the mirror and say 104 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: you know what, this is a job, but I need 105 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: to take care of my personal life and I need 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: to make sure all of that is taken care of. 107 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: Well said. Now, if you want to look on the 108 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: football aspect, you know, during the twelve open practices that 109 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: are fans, we do get a chance to see Marco 110 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: Wilson running with the ones, and there were times that 111 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: Butler wasn't practicing or he was on the sidelines. Clearly, 112 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: Murphy's your number one corner. Robert Alford you would see 113 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: would I would think Butler would have been two, and 114 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: then all for three and then Marco Wilson. But Marco Wilson, 115 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: they're really excited about this pick, and he was running 116 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: with the ones, and so you look at that, and 117 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: they look at the depth and yeah, they're gonna have 118 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: to try to find go out and get somebody else. 119 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was interesting to where a fourth round 120 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: pick who they moved up to get flashed that much. 121 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 1: He was running with the ones. Yeah, as Kingsbury said 122 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: earlier on Tuesday, the moment is not too big for 123 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: him talking about Marco Wilson again, it is a very 124 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: fluid situation with Malcolm Butler and will continue to monitor 125 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: it here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. The other 126 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: thing that has happened since our most recent show one 127 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: week ago was what I touched on at the top 128 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: and the fact that the game against the Saints on 129 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: Saturday was canceled and that's the last opportunity to make 130 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: an impression, get some good tape on there, especially for 131 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: some of these younger players. Hey Couch Cliff Kingsbury on 132 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: the fact that that did not happen so great for 133 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: the young guys obviously, particularly first and second year players. 134 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: The second year players didn't have a preseason last year, 135 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: and then to lose a game this year was was 136 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: a tough break. So you hate that for them. A 137 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: lot of guys are gonna get a lot of reps 138 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: and not just to try and make this team and 139 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: to make teams around the league. But we were always 140 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: in an air on the side of caution, and we 141 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: made the right decision to turn around and come back. 142 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: You know, listen that the NFL didn't make the right decisions. 143 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: It's a no brainer. You know, health and safety come first. 144 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: Thing is I wanted to see Eno, Benjamin and Jonathan 145 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: Moore a little more. Eno has only had eight carries 146 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: in the preseason, and we know what he did when 147 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: he's returned the kicks. You know, even Zavin Collins, I 148 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: don't know how much they would have played Azaiah Simmons. 149 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: You know, you look at some of these second year guys, 150 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 1: but I wanted to see some of the young guys 151 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: put more tape out there. And if you're a fringe 152 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: guys really hurts you where you couldn't make a play. 153 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: Now they do put a lot of study and investment 154 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: and what you do in practice, and I think that's 155 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: where Andy Isabella is right now, how well he's looked 156 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: in practice, and some other guys. But yeah, I was 157 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: I was hoping, And Kingsbury mentioned Chris strevel who were 158 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: started the entire game. It would have been interesting to 159 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: see because do they keep two or three quarterbacks. I 160 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: think Struffer has shown enough to where would he be 161 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: active on game day? Could he play on special teams? 162 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: So I for certain guys I wanted to see more. Yeah, 163 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: Straveler would have started the game. You know, Benjamin would 164 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: have started the game as well and played a lot. 165 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: Those two things we know of. According to Kingsbury, we 166 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: just didn't get a chance to see. And I remember 167 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: our conversation regarding Andy Isabella last week, Kyle about how 168 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: big of a week it was for him, and Saturday 169 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: would have been his first preseason game, his only preseason action, 170 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: and he perhaps needed to show what he showed during practice. 171 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: Now he could do it when the lights were on 172 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: against a different opponent. He didn't get that opportunity. He's 173 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: not alone, but that is again another lost opportunity for 174 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: a lot of these young players trying to make a roster, 175 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: whether it's the Cardinals or whether they get claimed by 176 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: someone else. Yeah, that last part I think is probably 177 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: more the more important factor. I have a hard time 178 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: believing that the hard decisions weren't made prior to that game. 179 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: You know, what you do as a professional athlete is 180 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: to become a good player. Ninety nine percent of it 181 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: happens off of the game field. It's how you prepare 182 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,479 Speaker 1: in meetings. It's how you prepare your body in the offseason. 183 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: It's how you practice, how you correct your mistakes and 184 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: don't repeat them. And coaches look at that and they 185 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: take note of that, and they've already made up their mind. 186 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if there's a guy who's lazy he's late 187 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: all the time, he doesn't pay attention in meetings and 188 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: keeps messing up, but keeps showing out on the game field. 189 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: He's not going to make that football team. And I 190 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: don't think that no matter how some of these players 191 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: that are, you know, at the back end of the roster, 192 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: trying to make this team, how they performed in a 193 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: potential third preseason game, I don't think it was going 194 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: to make a difference in the evaluation process. But like 195 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: you said that last part, you know, you hope the 196 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: best for everybody that makes the team, and the players 197 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: that worked hard to make this team and didn't make it, 198 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: it would have been nice for them to get some 199 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: of those splash plays for other teams to see, because 200 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, these other thirty one teams aren't seeing how 201 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: you practice, they aren't seeing what you're doing in the 202 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: meeting room, they aren't seeing your leadership ability, they aren't 203 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: seeing your commitment to the game. So it would have 204 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: been nice to get that extra film so that you 205 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: can get picked up on another squad. And you know, 206 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: everything's you know on film, and the sky and the 207 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: sky doesn't light, and I think you know, for a 208 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: lot of these guys, we've heard over yesterday and possibly 209 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: today they want to bring back on the practice squad, 210 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: so that would have give them another opportunity to watch film. 211 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: But again, they put a lot of stock in what 212 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: they do in practice. Of course, when you have your 213 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: number one offense going against your number one defense and 214 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: padded practice, you can evaluation there. But yeah, like I said, 215 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, if you know, Benjamin and Jonathan more are 216 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to play at some point. We know injuries occur. 217 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Seventeen game schedule this year. I just wanted more time 218 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: to see them getting more comfortable in the offense. The 219 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: other change that has happened and it's going on as 220 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: we speak, is this week. This typically is the fourth 221 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: and final preseason game, most likely on a Friday, excuse me, 222 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: on a Thursday, sum on a Friday, but then this 223 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: is the final opportunity. Well we know, no fourth preseason game, 224 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: just three, so that has left this open week if 225 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: you will, and a mini bye week. The coaching staff 226 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: the players both adjusting to both of those situations. Here's 227 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury. It's first time for everybody going 228 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: through this, but you know, we have a mature team 229 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: Our players got to handle those days off, take care 230 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: of their bodies and see it as as really a 231 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: gift from the league to refresh, recharge and then try 232 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: to put your best foot forward going in a game 233 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: week now Kingsbury out of They are treating this week 234 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: as a mock game week. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday would 235 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday heading into a game on Sunday. 236 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: That's how they're treating this. Now, that's the coaching staff 237 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: a chance for them to get ahead a little bit. 238 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: How are the players dealing with this four day weekend? 239 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: If you will, here's DJ Humphreys. Use those four days 240 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: there's like a resting recovery, not so much just lounging around. 241 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: Genuinely get my body prepared to go on Monday. I 242 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: don't see myself taking this as acabbo vacation. Like you know, Matt, 243 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm past that step. My wife knows. We're past that 244 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: point of the year. Like we're locked in at this 245 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: point the furthest week you can get out of me 246 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: at this point of Sedona And I don't even think 247 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to Sedona right now. Everyone loves Sedona. It's 248 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: very cool in Sedona, the Red Rocks. So but again, 249 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: this is it's much different Kyle, when you're dealing with 250 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: a bye week, you know, week eight, week nine, middle 251 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: of the season, as opposed to a bye week at 252 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: the end of training camp. How do you think you 253 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: might have handled this or mentally affected, even physically affected. 254 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: Then you try, you train, and you practice so hard 255 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: for four weeks of training camp, and then all of 256 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's a four day break right in the 257 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: middle before you start the regular season. Yeah, four days 258 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: at this point, after you've been in training camp, and 259 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: really at any point during the season, four consecutive days 260 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: off feels like a month. Like I mean, even if 261 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: you have an afternoon offer, a morning off, it feels 262 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: like you have so much time and you don't know 263 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: what to do with yourself. You know, like DJ Humphrey said, 264 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: I think it's important, you know, adding an extra game, 265 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. It's a big deal on your bodies. 266 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: Trying to get prepared for a sixteen game season. It's tough. 267 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: A seventeen game season is even tougher. And at this 268 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: point in training camp, everybody as bumps and bruises. Several 269 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: players have some you know tissue, some soft tissue injuries 270 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: that they can take care of. It's important that whatever 271 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: you're dealing with, you take care of it now. I mean, 272 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: you want to get massage, you want to, but you 273 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: don't want to do nothing, like DJ Humphrey says, you 274 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: want to keep your body moving and get ready for 275 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: this stretch run because it's important to capitalize on, you know, 276 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: your first few games, because that sets the tone for 277 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: your season, and you don't want to get behind. So 278 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: you want to be ramped up. You want to be 279 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: ready to go, and you know the fact that they've 280 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 1: already started to get into game planning and started to 281 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: get into a game type week. You're just ready. You're ready, 282 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: You're you're focused on your opponent. So you know, I 283 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: would think for especially a lot of the veterans that 284 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: have been around this game for a while, four days 285 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: is tough because by day two I've done it before. 286 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: I've tried to take a trip, even during a regular 287 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: bye week. I've gone away and I've caught an early 288 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: flight back because i just can't rest. You can't relax. 289 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: You know that you've got these games coming up, and 290 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: you just want to get back to work. And they 291 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: were in full pads today. You know, everyone thinks training 292 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: camp server. They were in full pads and they'll be 293 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: in full pads during the season. I think you're allowed 294 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: eleven in the first fourteen weeks. I think that rules 295 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: still up to data there. But yeah, there are full 296 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: pads to day and that's good because they're not playing 297 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: this weekend. Yeah, that regular season opener is right around 298 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: the corner, and as Christian Kirk said, it's important to 299 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: stay in condition and make sure you keep your legs fresh. 300 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: That goes for everyone around the lake. Thursday, Friday, Saturday 301 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: Sunday a four day mini bye week for the Arizona Cardinals. 302 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: Subscribe Arizona Cardinals podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, 303 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: and Stitcher.

Boy Back to Throw sends a 310 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: pass across the middle it's caught at the thirty yard line, 311 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: running room for Johnson at the forty getting the first down. 312 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: I'll past the forty five and about the forty seventy 313 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: yard line. So good play there by Keishawn Johnson. I'm 314 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: a catch and run to get the first down. We 315 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: know when you're playing this league, there's a tough competition 316 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: in that room, and there's some other guys that that 317 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: stepped up and just become a numbers game. Yeah, those 318 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: last two words uttered by head coach Cliff Kingsbury. Numbers game. 319 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear a lot throughout the National Football League 320 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: here on this day as teams get down to the 321 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: fifty three man limits ahead of Week one. As we 322 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: walking me back to the Cardinals Red team report greg 323 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: Ria Lukovanibosh and Mike Jarecki team, the Arizona Cardinals team 324 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: made several roster moves already still more to come, but 325 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: the team initially on Monday, MJ announced that they had 326 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: released ten players. And they're are always surprises. You always 327 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: see someone that you weren't expected to see on that list, 328 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: sometimes veteran, sometimes it's a younger player. And in the 329 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: case of Keishawn Johnson. Yeah, has been around since twenty nineteen. 330 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: But it was a surprise because how many times have 331 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: we talked about that wide receiver position and the depth 332 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: and have always listed Keishawan Johnson number five or number six, 333 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: but he was always in the mix. Not once do 334 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: I think anyone had talked about Keishawan Johnson not being 335 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: part of the wide receivers. No. I mean, the fact 336 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: is he got an opportunity to play on special teams 337 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: this year. I mean I thought he caught the ball 338 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: pretty well, but I was also he was up and 339 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: down some mental mistakes, and they gave him every opportunity 340 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: to make the roster. So you know, maybe he gets 341 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: ahead of the I agree he can play in the league, 342 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: but he's probably going to be struggling for that fourth, fifth, 343 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: sixth roster spot and he doesn't have the background playing 344 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: on special teams. And there were a lot of wide 345 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: receivers that we're running out on a roster last year 346 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: that flashed in training camp. I mean some got hurt 347 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: and obviously missed some time. But you know, you look 348 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: at it right now, I mean they're gonna I think 349 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: they'll keep six and who's that fifth guy is I mean, 350 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: it's possibly one of these guys that stood out during 351 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: training camp. Andre Bechelli, Greg dortsch ant One Wesley some 352 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: names that certainly flashed the are out training camp and 353 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: even in some of the preseason games as well. And 354 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: you're always looking for an opportunity, Kyle, and what do 355 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: you do with that opportunity, and specifically with ant One Wesley, 356 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: Kingsbury said, he took advantage of every opportunity that he 357 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: was given and he offers something specifically to this team 358 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: that they don't really have a lot of, and that 359 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: is a large target. He's got the size, he's six 360 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: foot four. He's right there with and aj Green in 361 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: that aspect. So perhaps that is the direction this team 362 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: will go. But to the roster decisions that need to 363 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: be made, a lot more goes into it than what 364 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: we see at practice and what we read for those 365 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: that who are at practice. Yeah, and I remember having 366 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: a conversation with my defensive line coach. I sat with 367 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: him for hours during the week, just sitting and talking. 368 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: And you know, they put an arrow on a player 369 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: as his arrow up, as his arrow like even or 370 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: as his arrow going down, and um, all the good stuff. 371 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: You heard about Keishan Johnson runs good routes, has good hands. Um, 372 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, I tend to think we pretty much saw 373 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: him and what his ceiling was. Whereas some of these 374 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: younger players, Um, you know, they have the potential and 375 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: they've they've flashed and they've shown that they have a 376 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: higher ceiling. And as much as Keishan tried to be 377 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: a part of special teams, if you I mean having 378 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: lost Trent Shirtfield, who was a special team's ace, I 379 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: think you're looking for that next Trent Shotfield. Where you're 380 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: not going to get a ton of snaps at the 381 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: wide receiver position, probably only in an emergency type situation, 382 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: but you kind of need a guy that can that 383 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: you can rely on, that can be consistent, can get 384 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: the job done, and can even be a playmaker on 385 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: special teams. And that's something that shown hasn't shown in 386 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: his early part of his career. Speaking of Wesley, I mean, 387 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: he got hurt a daring camp, but he was catching 388 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: everything and he played for Cliff Or He's at Texas Tech, 389 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: so I mean he didn't have to learn the offense 390 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: like some of these other guys have had over the 391 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: last couple of years he mentioned six four clearly and 392 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: outside receiver. Curious to see what his role would be 393 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,239 Speaker 1: on special teams because if he's gonna dress on game day, 394 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be involved. I don't know if 395 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: he has a lot of history there. And you know 396 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: Isabella right now, I would say is six just based 397 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: on the camp piece had and normally you only dressed 398 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: five wide receivers on game day. Now that is the 399 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: numbers game as they like to see how many at 400 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: each position? Do you keep? Two or three quarterbacks, three 401 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: or four running backs, five or six wide receivers, and 402 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: you look on the defensive side, six or seven defensive lineman, 403 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: five cornerbacks, five safeties more or less. It's all a 404 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: part of the process. And again I love having a 405 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: former player here on the Cardinals Red Sea report because 406 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: of days like today. Were MJ. You and I we 407 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: just talk about what we see. What were you read? Kyle, 408 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: You were involved in it this day, in particular, seeing 409 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: your teammates come and go and realizing that some of 410 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: those you will never see again on a football field, 411 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: their dreams are done for you early in your career too, 412 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: later in your career. What was this day like when 413 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: that final fifty three man roster had to be submitted. Well, 414 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: I loved it and I hated it. When I was 415 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: in Tennessee, you could jump the fence and there was 416 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: a little lake on the other side, and on cut 417 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: day they make you sit there the whole day. They 418 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: have like kind of a fake practice to kind of 419 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: keep everybody there so that they can bring people in 420 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: and talk to them. I would jump that finch, grab 421 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: a fishing pole, and fish the entire day. I hated goodbyes. 422 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: You know, I loved my teammates, but I hated goodbyes. 423 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: That's the part I hated. I hated seeing people's dreams crush. 424 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: I hated somebody getting that tap on the shoulder and 425 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: seeing that look of disappointment in their face. But I 426 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: loved knowing now, this is the team we have going forward. 427 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of everybody's working together in training 428 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: camp and you're all working toward the same thing. But 429 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: you want to know who you're going to battle with. 430 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: You want to say, Okay, now this is the Arizona 431 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: Cardinals team that we're going into the season with, and 432 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: you have that sense of excitement and it's like signals. Okay, 433 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: now it's go time. All of the practice, all of 434 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: this evaluation stuff is over. It's go time, and this 435 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: is the crew that we're going to battle with. You 436 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: come in with ninety individuals and you work your way 437 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: down to fifty three. But those fifty three mj become 438 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: your team. Now that there might be changes throughout the 439 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: course of the season, but those fifty three, to Kyle's point, 440 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, that's the signal the regular 441 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: season is upon us. True, but the Cardinals are they're 442 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: going to put any waiver claims in, so they'll announce 443 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster and then we'll I'll officially 444 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: find out who's been released, and then you try to 445 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: get these guys back on the press practice squad. But 446 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: if they put a waiver claim in, when they get 447 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: back next week, you may see a different player on 448 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: the roster where a guy initially thought he made the roster. Well, 449 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: that might change here today or tomorrow the next day. 450 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: Because you've got Robert Alford and you've got Justin Pugh 451 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: still on the reserve COVID nineteen less. They don't count 452 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: towards that fifty three number. So when they are activated, 453 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: like Jordan Phillips was yesterday, a corresponding move has to 454 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: be made. Well. And listen, there's corners out there. What 455 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: are you looking for. They got obviously some young corners 456 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: and Tay Gown and Marco Wilson. I mean there's there's 457 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: guys that you know. Some teams will cut them in 458 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: and bring them back in week two, so they're guarant 459 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: their contacts contracts not guaranteed. So um yeah, I mean 460 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: it's it's a fluid situation. That's why you shouldn't get 461 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: comfortable when you see your name on the first fifty three. 462 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: When they line up next week, you're going to see 463 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: possibly a couple more guys. And now you've got to 464 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: think a corner's got to be an option. I think 465 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: tight ends an option. I would say safety, and then 466 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: you can never have enough offensive line. Not saying they're 467 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: gonna put four claims in, but those are four airs 468 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: where I think they want to show up at that 469 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: back end of the roster. Christen kurt Kirk all that 470 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: the most unfortunate parts of the business. Here's DJ Humphrey's 471 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: talking about that final cutdown. I hate this part of 472 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: the year, though, because this is you know, cuts are 473 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: happening right now, so you kind of get to see 474 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: that happened. I don't care how long you've been in 475 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: the league. It never gets easy watching guys that look 476 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: on guy's faces kind of as they they head out 477 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: and realize that they're getting cut. So that's always tougher 478 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: this week. And you hope MJ that there are several 479 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: of these players that do clear waivers and are back 480 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: to the practice squad. In a reminder, bird Gang, that 481 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: is a sixteen player practice squad with up to six 482 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: of those spots reserved for veterans like last year, but 483 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: that was because of COVID and we are still in 484 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: the midst of a pandemic if you ask me, so, 485 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: I think that was a lot of the thinking on 486 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: letting that practice squad once again be sixteen players, because 487 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: who knows, you might have a need for a lot 488 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: of those players to be called up on Friday or Saturday. 489 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how they stack this practice squad 490 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: because you know, last year you had to have an 491 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: extra punter or maybe a long snapper because you didn't 492 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: want the whole room to have COVID, and so they 493 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: couldn't play. I would think, you know, with the positions 494 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: where they're thin at, that's where we're going to go deep. 495 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: And I think D line, whole line. I think, you know, corner, safety, 496 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: tight end. And I do think the majority of these 497 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: guys that got cut today, I don't know if it's 498 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: all sixteen, but I would say probably ten or eleven, 499 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: twelve wouldn't surprise me if they came back because they 500 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: know what they can do versus the unknown. Watching film 501 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: and his Kyle pointed out, you don't know his practice habits, 502 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: you don't know what it's like in a meeting room, 503 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: you don't know how he acts off the field. They 504 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: have intel on these players. Yeah, you're always concerned, Kyle, 505 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: about releasing a player because they might get claimed. While 506 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: you claim a player or they're on your active roster 507 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: for three weeks, they have to be on that fifty 508 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: three man roster for the first three weeks of the 509 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: regular season, so that takes you know, you have to 510 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: know that player. And to your point, how do they practice, 511 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: What do they do when they're not on the football field, 512 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: when they're not being filmed. And that's why I think 513 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: every team is going through this, you're concerned about losing 514 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: certain guys, but you know who you have and you 515 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: know who you want to bring back. Yeah, definitely, you'd 516 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: always go with the guy you're more familiar with, especially 517 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: if you know he's diligent with what with his profession, 518 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: how hard he works, how hard he practices. It's not 519 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: like evaluating a college kid where you talk to his 520 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: coach and you talk to his trainer, and you talk 521 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: to a strength coach, and you could talk to some 522 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: of his professors, you can get a full background. These 523 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: gms hold their information pretty close to the vest. They're 524 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: not sharing with other gms. Yeah, this is a great player. 525 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: He would he would be great on your team, and 526 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: you know he's great in meetings and at some point 527 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: he's he's going to be a dynamic player. You you 528 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: I mean, part of this kind of cat and mouse 529 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: game is if there's a player you really like and 530 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: you want him on your practice squad, you kind of 531 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: hope he doesn't show out in the preseason games so 532 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: that you can keep him because you do see a 533 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: future in him. And so it is definitely that's why 534 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: you don't see a large amount of claims unless your 535 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: roster is just devoid of any talent. But that's not 536 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: the situation with what we have here in Arizona. You know, 537 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: it's interesting you say that, because when Max Hall was 538 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: in training camp, I thought about that as well. Go ahead, 539 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: we were told he's picked up the offense just like 540 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner. And I'm thinking, and they say, don't see 541 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: anything on the radio. We don't want anybody to know. Yeah, 542 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: that was Max Hall supposed to be the big secret. 543 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: And make sure that Max Hall would not be claimed 544 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: by anyone or talked a lot about. Yeah, as they say, paranoia. Hey, 545 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: make sure you follow the Day Pash podcast.

Fought a bang bot a boom great 553 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: protection for Kyler Murray. The pocket has been really, really sound. 554 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: This is where you gotta feed the butt guts. Now, baby, 555 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: you gotta let those butt guts line off and eat 556 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: get a little greasy. They like it greasy. You had 557 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: the butt guts come off the ball, get movement at 558 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: the point. Baby. Only Ron Wolfley can make plain offensive line. Oh, 559 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's just there's only one 560 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: Ron WOLFLEI basically, and yes, a little bit of a 561 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: montage about the butt guts. In other words, the offensive line. 562 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 1: As we welcome you here the second half of the 563 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Tier Port Craig Riel, lukav Innibosh and Mike Jarecki. 564 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: The five guys, and I really think Kyle, there are 565 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: more than just five guys. Knock on wood. That's all 566 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: we see this season. But you have to have depth, 567 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: and as we've been discussing all offseason, on paper, I 568 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: do like the depth of this offensive line. You got 569 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: five starters, and then I do think you've got capable 570 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: backups who at a pinch could come in and start 571 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: if needed. Yeah you can. Well, First of all, the 572 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: starters are important, and I think across the board, regardless 573 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: of who settles at that spot at right guard, it 574 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: the starting offensive line is as talented, if not more 575 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: talented than it has been in years. And then the depth, 576 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: you know, guys that can play either tackle, Guys that 577 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: can play tackle or guard. That will come in key 578 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: this season, especially like we said with the extra game. 579 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: You can never have too many offensive line You can 580 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: never have too many swing guys that can jump in 581 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: and a pinch, either in the middle of a game 582 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: or if there's a couple of weeks stretch where we 583 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: have a guy dealing with some injuries. It's important that 584 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: you have that depth on the offensive line, especially with 585 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do with our skill positions, to 586 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: give Kyler Murray more time in the pocket, to keep 587 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: his pocket clean and to be able to deliver the 588 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: ball down the field left to right. MJ. You've got 589 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: DJ Humphreys, Justin Pugh, Rodney Hudson, someone at right guard, 590 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: and Calvin Beecham, and that right guard comes down to 591 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: Josh Jones, Justin Murray and Brian Winters. Any one of 592 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: those can start, and any one of those can be 593 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: capable backups at either inside or outside, especially Josh Jones 594 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: who has experienced playing tackle. Yeah, let's go back to 595 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: They value what happens in practice, especially when you're going 596 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: against the Ones and the Ones and Brian Winters, and 597 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: Justin Murray missed a ton of time, so on paper, 598 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: Jones has taken all those reps. Now those guys have 599 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: returned back to practice, I don't know how much you 600 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: can accomplish again. They were in full pads today. We'll 601 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: see what they are in the next couple of days 602 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: and then next week. Obviously wants your team to be 603 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: fresh going into the season. So let's just say, hypothetically, 604 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: Josh Jones is the starting right guard. Don't know. I'm 605 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: just saying, let's so now look at the depth. You 606 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: got Justin Murray, who can play for different positions. You 607 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: got Max Garcy, you can play guard and center. He's 608 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: the backup center. He got Brian Winters normally you can 609 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: play inside guard and also center. He you know, he's 610 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: got experience at right guard, played with Kelvin Beecham. And 611 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: then you look at some other guys that possibly you know, 612 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: I guess I think they'll keep nine possibly on the 613 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: active roster. You're only gonna address eight on game day, 614 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: and then I gotta think they're gonna try to slide 615 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: a couple on the practice squad. Well, you've got Josh 616 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: Miles as well, who we heard earlier in training camp 617 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: from offensive line coach run game coordinator Sean Coogler was 618 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: the most improved offensive lineman. So there's another guy that 619 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: is in the mix as far as being a swing 620 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: tackle that could back up either the left or the 621 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: right side. But it is all about those five guys. 622 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: The importance of those five individuals. Yeah, one player we 623 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: are all keeping our eye on that is Kyle to 624 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: the Murray. But for an order for him to do 625 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: what he wants to do, those five guys in front 626 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: of him have to do their job. Here's DJ Humphries. 627 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: We got to make sure we're the group that's not 628 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: the reason why there's things in rolling. So I can't 629 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: think I feel like at this point we've kind of 630 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: created that as our mentality, like we're going out here 631 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: putting out best for Afford and everything, every drill everywhere, 632 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: to make sure we're prepared to when we go out 633 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: there in that game with the reason why it is 634 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: going versus the reason why it's not. You don't want 635 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: to be noticed as an offensive lineman, MJ. That means 636 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: don't give up a sack, don't commit a penalty. If 637 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, then we're 638 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: all focusing on the end result, which is how well 639 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: you know Benjamin is running, how well James Conner is running, 640 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, What did DeAndre Hopkins do that particular week, 641 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: instead of saying Kyler Murray didn't have time to throw 642 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 1: the ball or Kyler Murray didn't have time to do 643 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: what he needed to do to move the football up 644 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: and down the field. All right, let's go back to 645 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: once he offseason started. They made promotions to Cam Turner 646 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: became the quarterbacks coach, and they promoted Sean Coogler offense 647 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: game running game coordinator. So I think there's a little 648 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: philosophy when it comes to the offensive staff. They want 649 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: to run the football, they want to utilize play action, 650 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: they want to be a downhill running team, and they 651 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: got the horses to do it. I think their strength 652 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: on offense, besides the Skille position players, is the offensive line, 653 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: and I think their strength on defense is a defensive line. 654 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: And that could go a wall a long way. When 655 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: you're talking about winning games in the trenches, well it 656 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: starts in the trenches, does it not. Colin it always 657 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: begins there where they're talking about the offensive side or 658 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: the defensive side. But we have to say it on 659 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: paper because we have yet to see those five starters 660 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: in action in any game because the uncertainty of what 661 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: happens at right guard. But you've got returners at the 662 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: tackle position, Justin Pugh at the left guard, and then 663 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson, one of the better centers, if not the 664 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: best center in the game, plugging right in the middle 665 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: to be the anchor the offensive line right And sometimes 666 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: you could say on paper, you know, based on size, 667 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: based on forty time for different positions, but this is 668 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: a track record, like we have a good group of 669 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: veterans that have done it in the past and had 670 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: played at a high level and had success on the 671 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: offensive line. And that's that's what I'm excited about. Is 672 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: it's not only you know, on paper, it looks like 673 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: we're going to be good. These guys have been good 674 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: in the past. And if this unit gels and plays 675 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: well together, which I fully anticipate based upon the character 676 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: and the leadership of some of these guys on the 677 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: offensive line and the fact again that they've gotten the 678 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: job done in the past, you know, even if they've 679 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: come from another team, they've played at an extremely high level. 680 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: And if they can all reach that level together, I 681 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: agree with you guys completely. This is going to be 682 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: one of the strengths of the team. I'm glad you 683 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: brought that up, Kyle, because it is an important distinction 684 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: that these guys, all five of them, m Jay, regardless 685 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: of who the starting right guard is, they all have 686 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: resumes in this league. Outside of Josh Jones, but he 687 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: was very capable in college, but everyone else along that 688 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: offensive line maybe not a ton of Pro bowlers, but 689 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: guys that are respected and have certainly grated out well 690 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: each and every week. Yeah, and we always talk about 691 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: you know on paper, well we have we have proof 692 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: in the pudding here. We've watched these guys play over 693 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. We see the chemistry up 694 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: front and the fact that Calvin Beecham really is on 695 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: the roster because of Sean Coogler. He's the only guy 696 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: who would play right tackle for him. I'm sure he 697 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: had some interest in the market. And then you know, 698 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: Josh Jones played sixty one snaps last year, maybe as 699 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: an extra blocker, so he's the only guy that doesn't 700 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: have the experience. But it's all going to be led 701 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: by Rodney Hudson. This guy, he's going to help make 702 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: the calls. Hopefully they can protect Kyler where he could 703 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: step up in the pocket, makes some throws down the 704 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: field in the middle. But I like where they're at. 705 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: And again, you don't want to see, you know, the 706 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: five guys anybody go down for a period of time, 707 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: but they do have some luxury with some backups, and 708 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: clearly those guys are backups for a reason. And go 709 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: back to what Humphreys said, don't want to be the group. 710 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: That is the reason why this thing talking about the 711 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: offense isn't rolling. And I think a lot of that 712 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: it was the offensive line that stopped the offense. Talking 713 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: about priest nap penalties. You can't have those number is 714 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 1: stalled drive. It begins and sometimes ends with those five 715 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: guys up front talking about the offensive line and whoever 716 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: might come in as backups if necessary. This season, Bird 717 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: Gang single game tickets are on sale now. VI is 718 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: it easy Cardinals dot com slash game ticks. That's Asy 719 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals dot Com Slash game t i X. When we 720 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: come back. Yeah, the regular season begins in a few 721 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: more days. Any other questions that we might have leading 722 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: up to Week one, and good to see Jordan Phillips 723 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: back on the field. We'll touch on that next here 724 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. To predict the shotgun 725 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: staff three step drop looks right at trouble any sack 726 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: back at the twenty yard line dragged down by Jordan Phillips. 727 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: How about that the big bed Jordan Phillips six six 728 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 1: three hunt five poll grab Bapti Stafford and basically put 729 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: him into the crock pot, Billy Buddy. Great job by 730 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips on nothing but a full rush Jacks three 731 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: quarterback hits, two fourth fumbles, one fumble recovery. Jordan Phillips 732 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: in eight starts. He played in nine last season, and 733 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: we all hope we all anticipated him playing all seventeen 734 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,760 Speaker 1: games here in twenty twenty one. The Cardinals defense needs 735 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips and was good they see Jordan Phillips on 736 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: the practice field earlier on Tuesday. He was out there 737 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: working with his fellow defensive lineman during the open portion 738 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: of practice. Activated off the reserve COVID nineteen list on 739 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: Monday and returning to practice. Have not seen a lot 740 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: of Jordan Phillips since training camp began, Kyle, but it 741 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: is someone that if you throw him in the mix 742 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: with a JJ Watts, a Corey Peters, Zach Allen, certainly 743 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: you like the rotation you have at defensive line, and 744 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: then considering your opponents week one and week two with 745 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: the Titans and Vikings looking to run the ball first, 746 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: you need guys along that defensive line who can stop 747 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: the rush. Yeah, you know, we just got down to 748 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: talk about the depth on the old line. The depth 749 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: on the d line is equally as important. Especially good 750 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: teams in this league find a good rotation because you 751 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: need fresh guys in there that can get the job 752 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: done and get after the quarterback stop the run. And 753 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 1: you know, we also just talked about resumes, right, and 754 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,479 Speaker 1: he has a resume. He's done it in the past. 755 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: He's been a dynamic player and he's he's you know, 756 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: been able to get after the quarterback in you know, 757 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: we talked so much about how Chandler Jones and JJ Watt, 758 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: those two being on the field at the same time 759 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback are going to benefit each other 760 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: the you know, the other guys are the guys that 761 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: are really going to reap the benefits when you know, 762 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,240 Speaker 1: I dare say when Jordan Phillips was, you know, getting 763 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: all these sacks and was, you know, one of the 764 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: better interior rushers in the league, he didn't see a 765 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: lot of one on one blocks. He's gonna see that 766 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: this year. He's going to get an opportunity to either 767 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: line up on a guard or a tackle and get 768 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: a one on one pass rush. And you know, if 769 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: we can see glimpses of the player he was a 770 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: few years ago when he was one of the most 771 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: dynamic inside rushers, you know, this defense is going to 772 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: be really fun to watch. You know, today I looked 773 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: at I was out there and I actually tweeted it out. 774 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: They had seven defensive linemen that were practicing. Zach Allen, 775 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: Michael Dogby, Jordan Phillips, JJ Watt like he Foe two 776 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,760 Speaker 1: or Chard Lawrence, Corey Peters. And I'm thinking that's probably 777 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: the top seven and you're likely going to dress six 778 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: on game day. And I think they could slide a 779 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: couple of guys that are practice Marcus Hunt, possibly Josh Morrell. 780 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: There could be some other guys, but that's the top seven, 781 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: and we didn't get a chance to see these guys 782 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: throughout training camp and basically a couple of preseason games. 783 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: But I think that was planning all along to release 784 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: JJ Watt Jordan Phillips back on the practice field. He 785 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: looks the part. Now he's got to get a football 786 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: shape and to see the improvements with a full offseason 787 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: of Rochard, Lawrence and a Lecky Foe to Lawrence especially 788 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 1: look very good early on in training camp, and then 789 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: he was sidelined with an undisclosed injury, but he has 790 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: since returned. So you have a healthy defensive line going 791 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: into the regular season, which is also good on the 792 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: flip side. On the offensive side, you look at players 793 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: that you're anxious to see and one of those is 794 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. Year four for him, m Jay, it's almost 795 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: like in a blink of an eye, he has become 796 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: a veteran in this league and established in that wide 797 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: receiver's room. He's the most tenured Cardinals wide receiver in 798 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: that position room, which is hard to think about, but 799 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: this is a big year for him to contract here. 800 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: He knows what's at stake. He knows they drafted a 801 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: wide receiver Ron Delmore in the second round. He's watched 802 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,720 Speaker 1: Ron Delmore and Christian Kirk's had a really good training camp, 803 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: and you know, if they really can go four wide, 804 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: you have Kirk and More in the slot and you 805 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 1: can go with AJ Green and DeAndre Hopkins. He knows 806 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: what's going on. But again, he's just got to stay healthy. 807 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: I thought he's had a really good training camp. I 808 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,959 Speaker 1: mean they're moving him around at least in the open 809 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: portions or practice when the fans really he's playing inside, 810 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: he's playing outside. He also is a guy that possibly 811 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,240 Speaker 1: could be a backup by punt return, possibly kick return, 812 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: but he knows it's a contract here for him, and 813 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: whether it's here or somewhere else, I think he's as 814 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: long as he stays healthy, I think he'll put up 815 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: some numbers. And that is exactly what Kirk spoke about 816 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: earlier on Tuesday. There's definitely an extra edge. I have 817 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: an extra edge to myself and I always you know, 818 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: probably myself in my preparation, my recovery. But you know 819 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: I've I've taken it to the next level, and you know, 820 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing everything in my power to make sure, like 821 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: I said, I'm at my best this year, so yeah, 822 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm there's there's definitely a different mentality for myself. Kirk 823 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: has also been around Kyle the Murray for each of 824 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: Murray's first two seasons and now entering year three for 825 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: Kyle the Murray. In fact, they were teammates. They've known 826 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: each other for a long period of time, even going 827 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: back before they were teammates here with Heroes and the Cardinals, 828 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: and Murray added or excuse me, Christian Kirk added this 829 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: about Murray and something that we've talked about a lot 830 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 1: this offseason, at quote, everything starts with him. He sets 831 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: the standard and it's maybe simplifying too many too easily 832 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: on how this twenty twenty one regular season is going 833 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: to go Kyle, But it's very simple that if Kyler 834 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: Murray performs like we all anticipate, he performs, and he 835 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: has grown not only as a player on the field, 836 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: but off the field as well. He's become much more vocal, 837 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: He's become a leader on the field and off. But 838 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: this team only goes as so far as its starting quarterback. Yeah. 839 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,879 Speaker 1: I think that's probably the most obvious statement we've said 840 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: on this show is there's no question, with all of 841 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 1: the talent that this roster has and all of the 842 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 1: playmakers this roster has, if Kyler Murray is not playing 843 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 1: at his best, if he's not doing Kyler Murray type 844 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: things on Sundays to help this team win games, this 845 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: team is going to struggle. This team can you know 846 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: he's shown the ability to put this team on his 847 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: back and make the big plays and and run this 848 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,320 Speaker 1: offense efficiently, but at times, you know, things have stalled 849 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: and for him to take those next steps to you know, 850 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: work more with his receivers, to communicate more with his teammates, 851 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 1: to take that leadership role, knowing that he is the 852 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: face of this franchise and this team, that this team's 853 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: ability to win fully is on his shoulders, and how 854 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: he plays on Sundays. I don't even think it's close. 855 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 1: This is his best training camp. I mean, the first 856 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: couple of years is really about xs and o's and 857 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: how did this how is this going to work? And 858 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna plug in guys here. He knows the offense 859 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 1: like the back of his hand. He practices his heart, 860 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: but he admitted on Acy Cardinals dot Com this is 861 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: the best he felt it's been in the system three years. 862 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: We always hear that third years, second year for some 863 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: players playing a different position. But the way he was 864 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: throwing the football, the way he was told in tight windows, 865 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: it was best campiece had. Now, it's only three years. 866 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: Last year obviously with COVID no preseason games which he 867 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: doesn't play a lot there, but I could say that 868 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: was his best camp and you could see him mature 869 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: and the accountability of calling guys out when it's needed. 870 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: We'll see Kyle the Murray and the Arizona Cardinals first 871 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: Week one against the Tennessee Titans in Tennessee. That as Sunday, 872 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: September twelfth, Hopefuly switched back real quick to the defense 873 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: we talked about at the start of this segment. Mj 874 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,280 Speaker 1: the return to Jordan Phillips on the practice field. Well, Monday, 875 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones returned to the practice field as well. He 876 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: had missed a considerable amount of time with an undisclosed injury. 877 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: But in watching him during the open portion of practice one, 878 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 1: he's always got a smile on his face. He always 879 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: looks like he's having the time of his life. But 880 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: he was moving around great, didn't look like there were 881 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 1: any issues with whatever was going on with him and 882 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: the dark cloud that seems to be hovering over Chandler 883 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: Jones according to everyone outside of Arizona, and the need 884 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: for a desire to have a new contract does not 885 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 1: seem like that's going to be an issue this season. Well, 886 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,760 Speaker 1: you know, once the season starts, you know, the focus 887 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: has to be on winning games. And if he can 888 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 1: get to fifteen or eighteen sacks, I mean, that's going 889 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: to go a long way. But listen, he came into shape, 890 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: he's motivated, he knows he's playing for a new contract. 891 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: The Cardinals do own his rights for the next couple 892 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: of years if they want, but the franchise tagging him. 893 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: But nobody really wins there. But he is motivated, and 894 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 1: he looks good and he's in complete good shape than 895 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,720 Speaker 1: last year. And that's another player, Chandler Jones, who should 896 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,959 Speaker 1: benefit with the edition of JJ Watt along that front. Seven, Kyle, 897 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: you enjoying this radio studio here at the Dignity Hell 898 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: there was on a Cardinals training center, and want you 899 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: to come back as well, if that's okay.
