1
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: Welcome bird Gang on today's show. Now we know the win.

2
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: That's right. The schedule is out. How many primetime games?

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: When is the bye week? What's the toughest stretch of games?

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode five sixty five and it

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with Craig Griolu

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: and Mike Jarecki. Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hyundai,

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,800

8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: Visit asy Cardinals dot com, Slash podcasts. Going for Hopkins

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: one hand to catch in a touchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: Craig Griolou and Mike Jarecki. So what do you think

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: seventeen games over eighteen weeks. Give me your biggest takeaway

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: after having some time now to scan this twenty two

13
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: regular season schedule. Well's just looking at the first three

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: games coming out of the shoot and then the fact

15
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: they they're going to be on primetime, four different opportunities,

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: starting against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: that will be on prime video. Obviously locally you'll be

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: able to get it over the local airways and then

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna go to Mexico, as we've talked about in

20
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: the past, playing the San Francisco forty nine Ers, and

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: then the Cardinals got a bye week after the Chargers,

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 1: and then they eventually play on Monday Night Football against

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: the Patriots and then obviously Christmas Night against Tom Brady

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So, you know, I thought

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: it would be three and a half. But you know,

26
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: last year this team did not farewell on primetime. But

27
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: I do think what they were able to do, you know,

28
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: being seven to zero and ten and two, they were

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: exciting to watch, and I think that's why they're getting

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: some more primetime games than a year ago. The four

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: primetime games the most the Cardinals have had since twenty sixteen,

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: when they had four as well. So this ties a

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: franchise record. Three of the four prime time games at home.

34
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: The only one that's on the road is in Mexico

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: City in Week eleven. Of course, we always look, all right,

36
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: what do we say, how many primetime games? When is

37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: the bye week? The bye week is Week thirteen, a

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: week later then last season. But you kind of like

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: those later bye weeks, maybe not so much in the

40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: month of December, because that just seems a little bit later.

41
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: If you will a bye week in December, December fourth,

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: that Sunday Cardinals will be home, resting for a final

43
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: stretch of five games. Yeah, it's as you mentioned, and

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: you know it's not later in December. You know, I'm

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: assuming between week thirteen and fourteen is the cutoff for

46
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: the bye weeks. But you still have five games to play.

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: You have to play the Patriots on December twelfth, eighteenth,

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: you got to go to Denver and play Russell Wilson.

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: The twenty fifth, you're hosting the Buccaneers, and then the

50
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: Cardinals will be on the road in week seventeen and eighteen.

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: They got to travel to Atlanta, and then they'll finish

52
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: out playing the forty nine ers on the road. Based

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals playing a home game or neutral site

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: when they go to Mexico City, those last two games

55
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: the only time the Cardinals will have back to back

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: road games this season. They do not have back to

57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: back home games. They do have home games going into

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: and coming out of the bye week. The other thing

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: before we kind of go week by week, one ten

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: am kickoff, one eleven am kickoff, now I don't Back

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: in the day, if you will, Burg Gang, that was

62
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: a huge deal. How many times the Cardinals would kickoff

63
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: at ten am aero Zona time because for whatever reason,

64
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: Cardinals going from west to east, the body clock just

65
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: would not translates. And this team was awful in the

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: East coast one in PM time zone. That no longer

67
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: is the case. But you still don't like to have

68
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: a lot. But I'm okay with I'm gonna say one

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: and a half because ones at ten am, the other

70
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: ones at eleven am. Well, it's not like you're traveling

71
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: to Boston or in New York. You're going to Minnesota,

72
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: but that would be October thirty ten am on Fox.

73
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: And then you as you mentioned Atlanta, based on the

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: time difference, they will be eleven am. So and we

75
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: know the Cardinals have definitely improved, just based on their

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: road record a year ago. They practice early in the morning,

77
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: so that's not an issue. It's not like they're leaving

78
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: on a Friday for a Sunday game. They feel good

79
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: about that. So usually it comes down the execution, you know,

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: not you know, turn the ball over little things. Don't

81
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: beat yourself, But you look at the other teams in

82
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: the division. When it comes to early starts, you know,

83
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: it looks like the San Francisco forty nine ers will

84
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: have at least two, the Los Angeles Rams will have

85
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: at least two, and the Seattle Seahawks will have three.

86
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: So it's kind of even even across the board. But

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: the Seahawks because of a fourth place schedule, you know,

88
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go to Detroit two New Orleans

89
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: and then they'll have to go to Kansas City and

90
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: they'll be on Christmas Eve. So that would be a

91
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: ten ams start on Christmas Eve. Well that's although I'll

92
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: say this ten am Christmas Eve Day. You're back at

93
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: home for Christmas Eve and then all day for Christmas.

94
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: So that's that's not too bad, all right, that's okay,

95
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: I can handle that. By the way, burd gang the

96
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: entire schedule on asy cardinals dot com plus tickets as

97

Speaker 1: any of the eight home games, and of course if

99
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: you want to travel as well. But a great home schedule.

100
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: Let's start and look at how this season begins for

101
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Again, it's it's fascinating MJA. We talk

102
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: about the opponents. We knew the opponents right at the

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 1: end of the regular season, playing the NFC South, playing

104
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: the AFC West, You're playing a like finished second place

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: opponent in the NFC East and NFC North. And then

106
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: the seventeenth game a like finished opponent in the AFC East,

107
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: which happens to be the Patriots. So we knew the teams,

108
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: we knew the locations. We just didn't know how at

109
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: all stacked up. So let's talk about how it stacks up.

110
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Week one out of the Gate home opener, Great September

111
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: eleventh against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, one

112
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: twenty five on CBS, second straight year opening against a

113
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: strong AFC team. A lot of people MG gonna look

114
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs and say, well, not a great way

115
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: to start. We had this conversation a year ago at

116
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: this time, going to Tennessee playing the Titans, Ryan Tannehill,

117
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: Derek Henry of the wide receivers, and it was like,

118
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: what are the Cardinals going to do? Well? They ran

119
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: them right out of their own stadium. Not gonna say

120
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen this year, but just food for thought

121
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: if you will, Well, I tell you the NFL, they're

122
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: creative and the first thing you see when this matchup

123
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: is Patrick Mahomes, Cliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray. I mean

124
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: this is you know, I mean, selfishly, I wish all

125
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: these games were after Week six, but that's it is

126
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: what it is. We'll get to why those six games

127
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: are important. So maybe it's like the Titans, maybe it's

128
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 1: it's better that you're playing them early. You know, clearly,

129
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: you know they have a ready made team. They are

130
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: going to miss Tyreek, but they went out and got

131
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: some receivers and it's gonna come down to you, you know,

132
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: how well the offensive line can protect. But you know

133
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: Vans Joseph I think he had three or four months

134
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: to prepare for the Titans. So you know, I'm I'm

135
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: actually encouraged Giimmi in Week one because you know, they're

136
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: a team that can put out thirty or forty points

137
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: and you know, if the Cardinals can get some pressure,

138
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I have plenty of time to talk

139
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: about the breakdown, but I don't know if I want

140
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: to tell you this though, Kansas City has won eight

141
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: consecutive openers, all right, I'll counter that, however, Kingsbury unbeaten

142
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: and season openers two oh and one, So there, something's

143
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: gotta give. Oh that over time first game against the

144
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, that might be the game that everyone remembers

145
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: the most underhead coach clip. So then let me see

146
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: if I can recall then San Francisco Week one, Yes,

147
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: and then Tennessee last year. Yes. Okay, yeah, again, we

148
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: know the Rams were the hammer and the Cardinals were

149
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: the nail and all week. I'm like, I'm not going

150
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: to worry about that anymore. And of course it didn't finish,

151
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, after the first game. So I don't think

152
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: it's a bad thing that we're playing them early in

153
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: the season, because you know, it takes like you know,

154
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: I always say the quarter pool, but you know, four

155
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: games you kind of get an idea where you are

156
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: and then you know, obviously you know it's a long season.

157
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: You gotta stay healthy. But I again, I'm I'm glad

158
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it didn't go to Mexico, and I'm

159
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: glad that we play them early and hopefully we can

160
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: come out there and because this offense could be exciting.

161
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of you know how things come together,

162
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: and I think we're going to see a little bit

163
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: different personnel when it comes to the first six games.

164
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, sime yea for the Chiefs game, I'm looking

165
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: forward to it. It is certainly an eye opener. With

166
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. We talked about the head coach,

167
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: quarterback Kingsbury Mahomes, the two quarterbacks, Kyler Mahomes. How about

168
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: the tie in matchup Zach Ertz Travis Kelsey and then

169
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: no Tyreek Hill but Marquez Valden's scandaling Jujuice Miss Schuster. Defensively,

170
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: that offensive line is going to do with Chris Jones

171
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: and Frank Clark. So if you're looking for not motivation,

172
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: but a little bit of a carrot at the end

173
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: of the stick, if you will, as far as there's

174
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: no easing into the schedule last year, same way, if

175
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: you're advanced, Joseph, how to defend the Tennessee Titans, Well

176
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: here now it's all right, offensively, how do you deal

177
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: with Chris Jones and Frank Clark and in defensively all right,

178
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and all his weapons minus Tyreek Hill. I

179
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: think it's great, and you got a number of months,

180
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: literally months to bear four. Week one, Yeah, I would

181
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: think the key going into that game is, you know,

182
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: because we know that Mahomes is a guy that can

183
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: make offset throws and he can get out of the pocket,

184
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: I would think Travis Kelsey's going to be a big

185
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: target there. And then you know, it would be the

186
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: first time besides them having going through preseason games at

187
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: you've got two new receivers that you know, this first

188
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: time they're playing in a regular season game. But I

189
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: would think Travis Kelsey and who draws that assignment? Is

190
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: that going to be Isaiah Simmons? Is that going to

191
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: be a guy like Buddha Baker or Jalen Thompson. So

192
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: you may have to bracket him because if you can

193
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: slow him down, not shut him down, you can slow

194
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: him down, then I think that increases maybe them getting

195
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: off the field on third down. So Week one at home,

196
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Week two on the road, another AFC wis opponents September

197
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: eighteenth at the Raiders, one twenty five again on CBS,

198
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: So you're getting that late window on Sunday, Cardinals first

199
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: ever appearance at Allegiant Stadium. And yes, the storyline here

200
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: all week long and we already kind of saw a

201
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: little bit of it on social media, Calvin Beecham reaching

202
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: out to Chandler Jones. But yes, Chandler Jones against his

203
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: former team. Why wait week two, let's see what you

204
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: got Chandler. Well, once again, you got a new coaching

205
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: staff there, and the Cardinals are going to go against

206
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: I think five new coaches. I'd rather get him early. Um,

207
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Josh McDaniels is established, but you know

208
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: he's there. It's only going to be their second game. Now,

209
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: they definitely have some weapons. Obviously going out and getting

210
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, you got to deal with Chandler Jones. Chandler

211
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: Jones said he was keeping his mouth shut, mouth clothes,

212
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: go to work. But you know he's gonna be looking

213
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: his chops going into that game. It's just you know,

214
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: maybe he you know, went against Murray enough to where

215
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: he feels like you can get to him. And but

216
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: it's not only Chandler Jones, it's Crosby. I mean, they

217
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: got some really good players. So but I do look

218
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: forward to that matchup. It's the first time that the

219
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: Cardinals will play in Allegiance Stadium. Um, it's a great atmosphere,

220
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: almost like a nightclub, and I'm sure Cardinal fans are

221
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: gonna go there for the trip. And then, of course

222
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: you look at the Raiders offense, Derek carrd Davante Adams,

223
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: you would think that they'd be able to pick up

224
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: where they left off, even though it was a long

225
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: time ago State. But now all of a sudden, all right,

226
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: Arin Murphy, Marco Wilson, Jeff Gladney, who you got? Is

227
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: it a rotation to defend one of the premier wide

228
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL and they're gonna go against another

229
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: great tight end. And Darren Waller, I mean he's he's

230
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: a difference maker. I mean him and Carr have been

231
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: on the same page, and there's a lot of chatter

232
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: he may have getting been traded. But so first couple

233
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: of weeks, tight end is going to be an option

234
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: besides the wide receivers. So first two against the AFC West,

235
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: then Week three back at home, first division game, and

236
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: you have the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams

237
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: at State Farm Stadium, one twenty five on Fox. Cardinals

238
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: have not beaten Sean McVay and the Rams at home,

239
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: but these first three games could be the most difficult

240
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: stretch of this entire seventeen game slates. But hey, maybe

241
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: you get teams early and who knows what happens. Remember

242
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: it was Week four last season going to LA and

243
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: the Cardinals beat up on the Rams. Yeah, that was

244
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: a statement game and they ran the ball forty two

245
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: times for two hundred and twelve yards. Now, the Rams

246
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: open up the season being the Super Bowl champions against

247
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. They will be September eighth at five twenty,

248
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: and then they're hosting the Atlanta Falcons in Week two,

249
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: and then they were on the role to play the Cardinals.

250
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: They played a forty nine ers on Monday Night Football

251
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, And I think we know the Rams now.

252
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: You know, I just based on them being the Super

253
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: Bowl champions and you know Matthew Stafford. But I do

254
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: think they haven't been able to retain a lot of

255
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: their players, and so I do think there's some holes.

256
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: They lost an offensive lineman, obviously, if Staffords getting rid

257
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: of the ball less than two point five seconds and

258
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: they couldn't bring Von Miller back. They did bring back

259
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: Troy Hills cornerback. You still have Leonard Floyd to have

260
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, So I mean, but I do think if

261
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: they get injuries at certain positions. I know you'd probably

262
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: say this for this every team, but they loaded up

263
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: and give them credit because they won the Super Bowl,

264
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: but I do think there's some holes in this Rams

265
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: team and they're gonna have to stay healthy throughout the

266
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: course season just like any other club. Though Rams lost

267
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: nine key pieces off of last year's Super Bowl championship team,

268
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: they had two big additions, Alan Robinson and Bobby Wagner,

269
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: but the coaching staff also took a little bit of

270
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: a hit. Eight new assistants plus six coaches who will

271
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: have new roles this season. So goes back to the

272
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Wraiters discussion. Maybe it is better to get

273
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: some of these teams early in the season, But that

274
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: three week stretch, not that it's due or die, but

275
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: we know that's record or the history of starting off.

276
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh and two sometimes most times it's a death knew

277
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: seventeen game regular season schedule of interests and see how

278
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: that works out. But you do not want to get

279
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: off to a slow starts, and those three opponents. I

280
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: can see a lot of people believe in that the

281
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals will get off to a slow start. Well, to me,

282
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: the way I look at it, Craig is trying to

283
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: split between the Chiefs and the Raiders. So you go

284
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: one in one and then if you happen to lose

285
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: to the Rams, now you're one in two. And to me,

286
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: this is where the Cardinals got to get fat. Weeks four, five,

287
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: and six, and possibly weeks seven, they got to go

288
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: to Carolina. I know they've had their number, but you know,

289
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: hopefully it's been a different coaching staff, it's been different personnel,

290
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: so they got to figure it out. So that's that's

291
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: Week four, October seconds, one oh five on Fox. Even

292
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: though it's on the road. It's an afternoon game for

293
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, third straight season facing the Panthers. And yeah,

294
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you as far as these next four games.

295
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: You have to get happy on the farm, if you will.

296
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: But the Panthers have been a thorn in the side

297
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals. They have lost sixth straight to Carolina,

298
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: including their last four visits to the Panthers. Well, and

299
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: if you want to start talking about tiebreakers, I mean

300
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: this comes down the conference wins. It comes down to

301
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: common opponents and obviously the division is playing that division,

302
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: so this is where they got to get fat and happy.

303
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: And then they're hosting the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, Jalen Hurts,

304
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: he's been the guy I'm assuming, you know, I think

305
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: they had a good roster. I think they're going to

306
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: compete with the Dallas Cowboys. They've made it, went out

307
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: and got some you know, skill position players in the draft.

308
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: But again it's Jalen Hurts almost beat the Cardinals when

309
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: he was here a couple of years ago. You know,

310
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: ta did that. So it's a home game in again,

311
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: they got to play better at home. Let's let's point

312
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: that out. And so to me, that's these are winnable games.

313
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: Now again it's about execution and protecting the ball. That's

314
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: Week five, October ninth, against the Eagles, one twenty five

315
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: on Fox. The storyline here zach Ertz facing his former team.

316
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: Now it's at home versus going back to Philly. But

317
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: zach Ertz is gonna be a popular spokesperson if you will,

318
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: that week leading up to the game against the Eagles. Well,

319
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: maybe he can tell of Cardinals defense a little bit

320
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: about their offense because he was in that offense. With

321
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and they really have the same head coach

322
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: and all that, So sometimes you can give too much information. Obviously,

323
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: Vans is gonna do what he's gonna do. And we

324
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: talk about another tight end, Dallas Goddard. He's a really

325
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: good player, so and they gave him a lot of money.

326
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: So that's another matchup for the Cardinals when it comes

327
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: to a tight end. And then week six, October sixteenth,

328
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: at the Seahawks one oh five on Fox. First look

329
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: at a Russell Wilson less Seattle team. Of course, on

330
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: the road, you get to go on that road trip

331
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: in Seattle early in the season as opposed to historically

332
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: it's always been late, saying you worry about weather. But

333
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: we know the history of the Cardinals five and two

334
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: in their last seven visits to the Pacific Northwest. Yeah,

335
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people think that the Seahawks

336
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: are hitting the reboot button. I think it's more well, rebuild,

337
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: but they're gonna play hard. I mean, Pete Carroll seventy

338
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: years old. I thought they had a really good draft.

339
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: They you know, started going out and getting some offensive

340
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: lineman in defensive lineman. You know, they did draft the

341
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: kennethan Walker from Michigan State. You know, they do have

342
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny, they have, you know, some wideouts, they have

343
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: some weapons, So I think they're gonna be a tough out.

344
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: But if you're telling me I got Kyler Murray on

345
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: one side and as Drew Locke on the other, I

346
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: like my chances is it Drew Locke, Is it Jacob

347
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Eeson or Gino Smith who's been the backup the last

348
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: couple of years and who might be already ahead of

349
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: the pack if you will, just because of the familiarity

350
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: with the offense or someone else you're thinking, well, at

351
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: door number four, they Pete Carroll's been consistent, but you

352
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: never know. I mean, you know, you gotta go through

353
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: the offseason workouts and you know Baker mayfields out there.

354
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't think the Niners would trade Jimmy Garoppolo inside

355
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: of the division because Peers they're going to move on

356
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: from him and roll with Trey Lands. So but again,

357
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: if Drew locks the quarterback in the they're going to

358
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: ask him just to manage the game, don't make mistakes,

359
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: and you know it's okay to punt, but they're gonna

360
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: rely on their weapons, and they're gonna rely on some

361
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: of their defense. But I don't think that, you know,

362
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a tough out just because

363
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: of a familiarity with both franchises. It's the cardinals earliest

364
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: visit to Seattle since twenty eleven, when they played at

365
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Seattle in Week three. So let's pause here for a moment.

366
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: Bird Gang here on Cardinals. Covered two presented by Hunday,

367
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals first six games, Chiefs, Raiders, Rams, Panthers, Eagles,

368
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks first six games. Remember no DeAndre Hopkins for those

369
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: six games. He will miss two division games, one at home,

370
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: one on the road, and he is missing maybe the

371
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: toughest stretch, toughest three games stretch Chiefs, Raiders and Rams.

372
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: So he'll be able to come back for the Saints

373
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: game correct correct, week seven. The Saints they promote if

374
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: they're introim defense, hold before before you get to the Saints.

375
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean those six games that Hopkins is going to miss,

376
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: I mean, could you find six other games? I'm just

377
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: your how do you feel about those six games minus

378
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: your best offensive weapon? Knowing that a year ago without

379
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: number ten this offense was well, let's just say less

380
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: than stellar. Well we know that Week eighteen, it's all

381
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: division games. Now I would like to have him play

382
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: in Division games, but he's still gonna have four other opportunities. Um,

383
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: you know. Again, it's it's not ideal, but I preferred

384
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: him to play in all six division games, but based

385
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: on how it's spread out, and you talked about them

386
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: not being on the road from you know, back to

387
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: back weeks, etc. So it is what it is. But yeah,

388
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's important. You know, if if I

389
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: told you the Cardinals were three and three after six,

390
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: I'd be perfectly fine with that. I would aim for

391
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: four and two. But three and three if you can

392
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: come out of that five hundred, you didn't five hundred.

393
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: You hit the reset button, correct, and now you got,

394
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you got eleven games left, and

395
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: try to try to win the majority of those games.

396
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: Twelve twelve games. Try to win the majority of those games.

397
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: So DeAndre Hopkins eligible to return Week seven, and it's

398
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: a short week everyone but Hopkins. Cardinals play in Seattle

399
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: on the sixteenth. They'll host the Saints on the twentieth

400
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football five, fifteen Amazon Prime Video. There'll be

401
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about that first time on Amazon

402
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: Prime Video. Yes, Cardinal fans, if you live in the

403
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: state of Arizona, you will be able to watch that

404
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: on your local television. If you're outside of the market, however, sorry,

405
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Video. And that goes for every game on

406
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: Thursday Night. But Saints new look Saints team no Sean Payton,

407
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: no Drew Brees, Dennis Allen, and Jamis Winston are now

408
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: the head coach quarterback combination. Yeah, and Ain't got a

409
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: really good defense and I think, you know, just keeping

410
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: some stability in that building. I think their defense is underrated. Also,

411
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: Tyrn Matthew now plays for the New Orleans Saints, so

412
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: he's coming back on a short week for the Cardinals.

413
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: But you know Jameis Winston obviously, you know, he was

414
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, struggled and then he got

415
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: Lasik surgery. Now he's coming off an a cl injury.

416
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: And they have weapons. You know, they went out and

417
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: got some receivers, Chris Olave from Ohio State and Michael

418
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: Thomas's special back, and you got Alvin Kamara. So that's

419
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: going to be a tough game. On a short week

420
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals, so they do get that mini

421
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: buy week if you will. Post Week seven and Week eight,

422
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: Cardinals will hit the road October thirtieth at the Minnesota Vikings.

423
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: This is that one ten am kickoff on Fox. We

424
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: know the Cardinals last season against the Vikings thirty four

425
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: thirty three Cardinals fortunate to come away with the win

426
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: as a miss pat at the gun or a miss

427
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: field goal at the gun, and all of a sudden,

428
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals walk off the field winners. And now it's another

429
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: new head coach. So back to back weeks here facing

430
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: a new head coach, Kevin O'Connell, former Rams offense according

431
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: to you wonder MJ. And all of a sudden, you'll

432
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: have seven games worth of film. But do you look

433
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: back and say, all right, what a coach will kind

434
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: of like to do with the Rams? Obviously different personnel,

435
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: but you don't you don't deviate from what you're from

436
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: the norm when you're a head coach, offensive coordinator, get

437
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: promoted to the head coach. Yeah, and he's never called

438
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: plays before, and he's gonna call plays there now. You

439
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: know they still have you know, Adam Feeling and justin Jefferson,

440
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: and they do have um Delvin Cook defensively, obviously Patrick

441
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: Peterson resigned there. You know this is gonna be a

442
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: tough game just because you know, you just look at

443
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: it from a standpoint, there is some familiarity. Even though

444
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: you got a new head coach. They seem like they've

445
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: played this team when Mike Zimmo was there a few

446
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: different times over the last few years, whether it was

447
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: here or there. So again, you know it's going to

448
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: come down to Kirk Cousins in that offense and what

449
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: can the Cardinals force him to make some turnovers because

450
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: he does hold up all a little bit more than

451
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: maybe some other quarterbacks. And don't forget Jordan Hicks, Jordan

452
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: now on the Minnesota Vikings, and he'll be motivated and

453
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: you get to see your former inside linebacker team captain

454
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: quarterback of the defense, so anxious to see how he plays.

455
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: And in the course, on the other side, you got

456
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: Nick Vigil. They basically swapped spots as far as inside linebackers,

457
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: and he knows this Cardinals offense, yes, I mean he's

458
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: and he can help as far as the Vikings offense

459
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals defense. That's correct. I mean just because

460
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: he's seen everything. Now, if they run a lot more

461
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: twelve personnel, well he may have to cover a tight

462
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: end and I'll take that matchup. Maybe maybe don't we

463
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 1: don't travel, I'm not expecting travel, but maybe we can

464
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: get someone to stick a microphone and Hicks's phase post

465
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: game and ask about you know, hey, tight end, zach Ertz,

466
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: Max Williams, Trey McBride, what do you think? Just just

467
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: for old times six, but he is one of the

468
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: better dudes in that locker room for the years that

469
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: he was here. And it is going to be a

470
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: miss not seeing him around the facility. But all right,

471
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: that takes us through week eight. Typically that's the halfway point.

472
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: You've got a seventeen game regular season schedules, and not

473
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: quite halfway. But Hopkins, you will have him week seven

474
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: and week eight and then week nine, Hopkins will see

475
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Miss is the first meeting, but now a

476
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: home game against the Seahawks October sixteenth, one oh five

477
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: pm on Fox. Cardinals. Though as successful as they are

478
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: in Seattle, Seahawks just as successful here in Arizona, seven

479
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: one and one over their last nine visits. Although this

480
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: is a much different Seattle team. I don't know if

481
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: you want me to pick this scap, but can you

482
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: imagine if the Cardinals would have beat the Seahawks, they

483
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: would would want the division and hosted a playoff game,

484
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: And some people think they would have been a little

485
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: bit different playing at home even though they didn't have

486
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: the great record. Again, I hate to pick that scap.

487
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: You're playing them twice in four weeks. You know, if

488
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: you beat them the first time, now you get to

489
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: get greedy if you lose to them. You don't want

490
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: to get swept by the Seahawks, a team that's gonna,

491
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, likely be projected to finish in fourth place.

492
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: So to me, those are two winnable games, whether it's

493
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: on the road or at home. Again, it comes down

494
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: to the simple things. But the fact that they're going

495
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: to play him twice in four weeks, there'll be a

496
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: lot of familiar and possibly a lot of carry over

497
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: from the first outing. So you're home to the Seahawks

498
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: in week nine, you're on the road Week ten at

499
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: the Rams to twenty five pm on Fox. So you

500
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: are done with the Seahawks. You are done with the Rams.

501
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: Buy no thirteenth Cardinals. Remember, play the Rams in week three.

502
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: Now they get them in week ten. Well and again

503
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: if the Cardinals or two and one or one and

504
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: two after the first three, they could go on a

505
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: winning streak. You know, you got Seahawks twice, you got

506
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: the Saints at home. You're on the road against the Vikings.

507
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: So if you're losing the Rams the first time, you

508
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: have to take care of business at home the second time.

509
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: So you can't be owing two against the Rams. Tiebreakers,

510
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to strength of schedule conference wins.

511
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: So if you happen to lose in that first game,

512
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: you have to take care of business. But you'd like

513
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: to split with the Rams, take care of the business

514
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, and then figure it out. If you

515
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: win the first game with the Niners, you get a

516
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: chance to play them in week eighteen. Forty nine Ers

517
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: are the third straight division opponents, so it goes Seahawks

518
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: Rams forty nine Ers in week eleven, November twelve, excuse me,

519
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: November twenty. First, that is six to fifteen ESPN Monday

520
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: Night football in Mexico City. We've known that was the

521
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: one game that everyone knew about, but again a stretch

522
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: of three straight division games. Good news is you have

523
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: d hop and hopefully everyone is playing well because that's

524
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: literally the middle of the regular season schedule. And you

525
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: know the fact is that you know, the Cardinals, um,

526
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, feel like they match up with the Niners,

527
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: and you know, the last couple of years, you know,

528
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: the Cardinals were able to take care of business so

529
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: to speak. You know, obviously we go back to the

530
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. It didn't well end well with CJ. Bethard.

531
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: So again, if you win that first game, the worst

532
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: case scenario is, Craig, you sweep the Seahawks and you

533
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: split with the Rams and forty nine ers, So now

534
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: you're at four and two again. I mean, I love

535
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: to sit here and see again, if you win that

536
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: first game, get gritty and try to get the second one,

537
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: because it's going to mean something when it comes to

538
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Very likely that's Trey Lance

539
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in the forty nine ers, and you'll see in

540
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: and he'll have plenty of time. Yes, you know, it's

541
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: not like you're playing him, and like the Cardinals got

542
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: him in early in the season, so I mean, you

543
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: know he can play these teams so many times. But yeah,

544
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna look a little bit different. But you know,

545
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan runs the offense. We know they got Deebo Samuel,

546
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: we know they got George Kittle. Do they hit Deebo Samuel? Yeah,

547
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: he's still there, still there. Yeah, he's just not going

548
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: to run the ball. And they got George Kittle, And

549
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter who the running back is in that offense.

550
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: They just run the football. And you know, give de

551
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: Meco Ryan's credit, I do think he's going to be

552
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: a head coach next year. He did take his name

553
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: out of the running with the Minnesota Vikings, and so

554
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, they did lose the running game corner and

555
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: Mike McNally, McDaniel, so you know, but they lose coaches.

556
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: You know, they lose their defensive corner, Robert Sala. He

557
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: goes to the Jets's head coach. But Kyle Shanahan, he

558
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: knows how to call plays and he'll do a lot

559
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: of motion. It's just what kind of quarterback is training.

560
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: And so they're gonna put the handcuffs on, are gonna

561
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: let him do what he needs to do. So Week

562
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: eleven in Mexico, City Monday Night football. So a short week,

563
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: week twelve, your home against the Chargers on November twenty seventh,

564
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: that is Thanksgiving weekend, if you will, if you want

565
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: to extend it out two h five on CBS, facing

566
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and that entire Chargers offense again, another AFC

567
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: West opponents Mike Williams, Kennan Allen and then defensively Joey Bosa,

568
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. They added J. C. Jackson in the secondary.

569
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: So the AFC West, the NFC West to the toughest

570
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: divisions in football, and the Cardinals will face the AFC

571
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: West in the first look at the Chargers and this

572
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: little nugget, the last two AP offensive rookies of the

573
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: year from the quarterback position, as far as Kyler Murray

574
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert, they're they're a really good team. You know,

575
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: I think when you look at Brandon and Staley, he's

576
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: going to get criticized because he went for a fourth

577
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: down four different times, but you know that's the way

578
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna play. He's big, polytics and he's more of

579
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: a defensive minded head coach. They got Ecker the running back.

580
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: They they got a good team. They invested in the

581
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: offensive line. It wouldn't surprise me if if they're competing

582
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs for the division title and you've got

583
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: a pocket passer that sits in there and you can

584
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: make all of the throws. So look forward to watching

585
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: him and Kyler Murray go added two different quarterbacks. But

586
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: he will put the ball. He could put the ball

587
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: and go on the run. He's a big guy, but

588
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: he normally runs out of balance where Kyler is trying

589
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: to run out around you. So that is the final

590
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: game before the bye week in Week thirteen, which comes

591
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: on December fourth. But I want to touch on these

592
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: four games going into the bye because to me, maybe

593
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: not the toughest four game stretch, but I think the

594
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: most important four game stretch of the season because three

595
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: consecutive division games, one at home, one on the road,

596
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: one in Mexico City, and then a very good Chargers team.

597
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: Say what you want about the Seahawks, maybe the forty

598
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: nine Ers at that point mid season don't really know

599
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: what they have in Trey Lands. But because it's three

600
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: straight division opponents, you've got to come away with at

601
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: least two wins there and then okay, we'll see how

602
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals stack up against the Chargers. But that four

603
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: games going into the bye week all kinds of motivation momentum.

604
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: You don't want to be limping into the bye week. Yeah,

605
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: and again you're hosting the Seahawks and then you got

606
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: to go to Los Angeles and then the course the

607
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: game is in Mexico City, and then you come back

608
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: and host the Chargers. So it's not like three out

609
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: of the four are technically on the road. Yes, it's

610
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: you're it's split two home, two on the road. The

611
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: Mexico City game. Yes, it's a neutral site, but you're

612
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: still traveling. Correct, you're not going to London, You're not

613
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: going to Germany. It's probably it's probably the same distance

614
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: they're flying to San Francisco three three hours. San Francisco

615
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: a little bit shorter than that because to your point,

616
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: it's not five hour flights. Seven hour flights, right, And

617
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 1: you know, both teams will we'll see how they deal

618
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: with the the altitude and you know, just you know

619
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: when team, both teams get there, because it's going to

620
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: be an adjustment lease in that first quarter. All right,

621
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: So the bye week December fourth, it is a late

622
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: bye week, but This sets up a five game sprint

623
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: to the finish line beginning week fourteen, December twelfth, against

624
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots, another primetime game, the third of the season

625
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: at this point, but the seconds on Monday Nights six

626
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: to fifteen ESPN. Kingsbury Belichick, I wonder if we can

627
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: get Bill to talk a little bit about Kingsbury the

628
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: player in addition to Kingsbury the coach, because Kingsbury drafted

629
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: by the Patriots in two thousand and three. How how

630
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: much can we get Bill to speak as you just

631
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: call him Belichick and it's more respectful, But can we

632
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: get him to elaborate on Cliff Kingsbury? What are the

633
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: odds of that? You know what he's gonna say. I've

634
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: already dressed that we played him recently, the Cardinals played

635
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: the Cam Newton and Patriots. They should have won that game.

636
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: Obviously he had the Isaiah Simmons hit. But he's been

637
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: asked about Kingsbury in the past, seas if that was

638
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Okay, okay, I mean what you're

639
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: right though, that's exactly what we're gonna say. Like it's

640
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: not it's not new. I mean, we can go back

641
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: to the archives I mean, sure they'll lastt Hey, how

642
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: do you think the Cliff's doing last year? He thought

643
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: he was the coach of the year. Yeah, and then

644
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: Cliff was asked and he said, Belichick's the coach of

645
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: the Year every year. Yeah, should rename the AWARDA But

646
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: it's interesting though, because Cardinals are on a bye week, okay,

647
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: and usually you would play that following Sunday. It's one

648
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 1: more day, I know, but I'm saying that it's because

649
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: it's a game. It's a nice little break for them.

650
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: And listen, I think in the perfect scenario, you would

651
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: like the bye week in the middle of the season,

652
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: whether that's eight or nine, when they're seventeen game schedule, um,

653
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: and it's all based on injuries. But if this team,

654
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, is able to get to that point and

655
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: there's in the bye week, hell something, you get an

656
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: extra day, you've got to make a run in those

657
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: final five crackers three around the road, Yeah, beginning with

658
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: a trip to Denver week fifteen, December eighteenth. This potentially

659
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: could be that cold weather game. Is there snow is

660
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: it snowing? So you lates game two oh five GM

661
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: window on Fox and you finally get to see Russell Wilson. No,

662
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: you do not avoid him, even though you don't play

663
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 1: or he's no longer on the Seattle Seahawks, but another

664
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: new head coach, Nathaniel Hackett, former Packers OC. But it's

665
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: late in the season, so you will have known what

666
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: Denver likes to do versus what you're perhaps predicting that

667
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: they do. Yeah, I think Nick Fanjo did a good job.

668
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: They're already made defense. Yes, I know they traded von Miller,

669
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: but they got a really good secondary. You know, Russell Wilson,

670
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: he's hugely a upgrade. He's probably the best quarter of

671
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: the back they've had since Peyton Mann. And they have weapons.

672
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: We'll see the latest on Jerry Judy. I mean the

673
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: legal process figure that had out. They can run the ball.

674
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: He's an instant upgrade, and you know they're competing in

675
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: that division, so it'd be interesting how they kind of

676
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: beat each other up. But you know, Cardinals have fared

677
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: well against Russell Wilson. But now you're talking about different personnel.

678
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: How much of an upgrade is the offensive line in Denver,

679
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: whether what he had in Seattle. But obviously he's a

680
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: guy that you have to you know, account for because

681
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: he can make throws from inside the pocket, he can

682
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: roll out and you know he won't be dealing with

683
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: that thumb injury like he was the previous season. You

684
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: hope that that is completely healed and it's not something

685
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: that's permanent to where he's always have to deal with

686
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: nerve damage and stuff like that. But you know him,

687
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's probably training like fifteen hours a day.

688
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: So from week fifteen to week sixteen, December twenty fifth, Yes,

689
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. For the second straight season, Cardinals play on

690
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: Christmas Night, this time on NBC Sunday Night Football six

691
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: fifteen kickoff against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. By the way,

692
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: this is the regular season home finale on Christmas Day.

693
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady back in Arizona and the regular season for

694
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: the first time since two thousand and four. No Bruce Arians,

695
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: but you do have Todd Bowls on the side. I

696
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: am surprised considering the Cardinals played on Christmas last year.

697
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: It was the only game against the Colts. This year,

698
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: they're going with a triple header. It is Sunday. I

699
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: know that's gonna you know, interfere with the NBA. That's

700
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: kind of their day, new jerseys, and the NFL's moving

701
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: into that territory. I know. But it's a Sunday. It's

702
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: not like they're you know, that's true. That's their day

703
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: of the week they play, and it just happens Christmas

704
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: had Although there's only three games on Christmas Day, right,

705
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals are the final game, correct, But I'm saying usually

706
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: the NBA has five or five games at least. Um,

707
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating. You know, Bruce arians is not

708
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: the head coach, but he'll be part of the staff.

709
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: He'll make the trip. He'll probably sit in the suite

710
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: with Jason Light, Todd Bowles. I'm a big fan of that.

711
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna see a lot of the former Cardinal coaches.

712
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: You know, Larry Foote is a co defensive coordinary, Kevin

713
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: Garb wide receivers coach. I mean he got you know, um,

714
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: Harold good ones On, Harold good Ones on the staff.

715
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: Um was capone, the secondary cop he used to be.

716
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: He's a really intelligent guy. And I'm sure I'm missing

717
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: some guys, but um, yeah, there's gonna be a lot

718
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: of familiarity. Even though Aaron's not gonna be on the sidelines.

719
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: But Todd Bowles been nice to see him, and obviously

720
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: the cachet is Kyler Murray going against the goat. It's

721
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a great storyline going into that contest. And

722
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: I am in agreement with you. Surprised that it's another

723
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: Christmas Day game for the Cardinals and back to back seasons,

724
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: back to back seasons at home. I mean that I

725
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: would have you know, bett money didn't can't, but I

726
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: would have bet money that the Cardinals would not have played.

727
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: They would not have been one of those six teams

728
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: to play on Christmas Day in twenty twenty. I think

729
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: you and I were reserved to you know, what are

730
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: they going to be on Christmas Eve? Because there's gonna

731
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: be thirteen games on Christmas Eve, and where they going

732
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: to be on the road at home? Well we know

733
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: now they're gonna be playing on Christmas Night, and you

734
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: and I will be back at the stadium for another

735
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: Christmas I was they played the Cowboys on Christmas. It's interesting,

736
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: not a surprise that they're the night game though, West

737
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: Coast just based on exactly so that you have games

738
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: early in the morning, mid afternoon the nightcap, so that

739
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: is the last game of twenty twenty two. Calendar year

740
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, final two games plus at home, Yes,

741
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: final two games on the road. Week seventeen January First,

742
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. Everyone in Atlanta facing the Falcons eleven am.

743
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: That is the early kick, the second early kick for

744
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, who have not fared well in Atlanta since

745
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three. That's the last time they won in Atlanta.

746
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: They don't play there a lot, but nine games in

747
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: a row they have lost in Atlanta. Well, do you

748
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: think we'll see Desmond Ritter by that point? I mean,

749
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: good question. Arthur Smith is a good coach. They went

750
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: out and got a big, physical receiver. They got Kylie Pitts.

751
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna want to run the football. Maybe their defense,

752
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, steps up. But this is a very winnable

753
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: game before they start getting a lot better. But Marcus

754
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: Mariota is the starting quarterback going in. He did have

755
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: him in Tennessee. But I think if you're looking at

756
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: the future based on their record, we could see a

757
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: young quarterback in that game. And hopefully he's on some

758
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: films so the Cards can kind of figure it out.

759
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: So the Cardinals travel to Atlanta and then they'll travel

760
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers in Week eighteen. Right now

761
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: scheduled for Sunday, January eighth, That is a weekend in

762
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: which it could be moved to Saturday the seventh. Don't

763
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: have a time yet that will be determined because playoff

764
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: implications some of these games, they want all to be

765
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: kicking off at about the same time. But the forty

766
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: nine ers are the opponents on the road to close

767
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 1: out the twenty twenty two regular season. Yeah, and we'll see.

768
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: You know, Trey Lances have made a progress and what

769
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: are they playing for is the case where the Cardinals

770
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: are able to beat them in Mexico City and they

771
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: split with them again. You know, I don't think you

772
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: want to finish three and three in this division. I

773
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: want to think he want to go four and two,

774
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: if not better. And on the other side, the Rams

775
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: and Seahawks are playing on Week eighteen, so that's what

776
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: the NFL likes to do division games that final week.

777
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: But I'll say this about division games. Cardinals over the

778
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: last six games one division game, and it's that last

779
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: one against the forty ninets. I think that's to me,

780
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: that's odd and I don't know how it stacks up

781
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: with the rest of the National Football League, the other divisions.

782
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: But we talk about important games in December and January

783
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: only one division game. Well, but you talked about that stretch, Yes,

784
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: when you got three in a row. I mean, and

785
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 1: they play the Seahawks twice in four weeks. What's interesting

786
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: to meet, Craig is you have the Chargers AFC team,

787
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: and then you have the Broncos, an AFC team, and

788
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: they're part of the final five or six games, and

789
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: then you know, clearly I think because of a festible.

790
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: I think it's December thirty first. That's probably why they're

791
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: on the road against the Falcons. So back to back

792
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: road games, three of their last four on the road.

793
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: Maybe that's better. This team did not end the regular

794
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: season well at home last season. That's going to be

795
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: a storyline all season long. But overall, I'm okay with

796
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: the schedule. Yeah, it's a tough start, it's an interesting finish,

797
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: but no back to back road games, no back to

798
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: back home games. You do have two home games split

799
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: with a bye week, but it does alternates pretty well

800
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: as far as routine, if you will, on the four

801
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: primetime games, a little bit of a surprise, but congratulations

802
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: to the Arizona Cardinals. And really, if you want to

803
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: say five primetime games, because the preseason schedule announced and

804
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, August

805
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: twenty first at five pm, and that game will be

806
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: televised on Fox, so four plus one if you will,

807
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: if you count the preseason, Yeah, it's interesting. And they

808
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: got to go to Cincinnati at Paul Brown Stadium. That

809
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: would be somewhere in week one of the preseason August

810
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: eleven to the fourteenth, And you mentioned the Ravens coming,

811
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna have a joint practice with this

812
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: all reportedly joint practice reportedly Okay, Mike Rabel says it's happening. Okay.

813
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: If Kingsbury has yet to be asked about that, okay, Well,

814
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: I still think that's the expectation. Yes, And so that

815
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: game would be Week three, which would be the finale

816
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: between August twenty fifth and twenty eighth. So yeah, usually

817
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: you think it's proximity. Now you're playing the Raiders in

818
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 1: the regular season, obviously you're I think it does hurt

819
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: that you're playing the AFC West. Yes, because proximity wise,

820
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: and otherwise you would be preseason makes more sense. Go

821
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: to the Raiders, and I would Chargers maybe like Dallas

822
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: or somebody. I would have thought, you're never gonna play

823
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: a team in your division, let alone. You know, all

824
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: three of these are outside the conference. Yeah, and maybe

825
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. You just based on you know,

826
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: a lot of it deals with you know, like I

827
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: was reading, like Elton John is really scoring a lot

828
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: of this up for the league stadium concert tours? Yes,

829
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: this is that the kind is that the big tour?

830
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: That's y. Yeah, Because again, teams will let you know

831
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: if they're they're hosting concerts. And then if you have

832
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: back to back road games sometimes the last league, hey,

833
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: if we got or playing it like the NFC East

834
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: or the AFC East, if we go back there. We

835
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: prefer back to back road games so we don't have

836
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: to travel back and forth, and they they'll ablage. But

837
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's about concerts. Cardinals, according to

838
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: bookies dot Com, travel the eleventh most miles, forty nine ers,

839
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: the eighth most rams, sixteenth most in Seattle. I think

840
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: they are always eating the league as far as covering

841
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: the most miles and crossing those time zones. But that's

842
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: just what happens when you're in the Pacific Northwest. Yeah,

843
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: and don't forget right now. Going into the season, the

844
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: Cardinals have this second hardest schedule behind the Los Angeles

845
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: Rams based off last season's correctponent win percentage. San Francisco's

846
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: tied for fifth, and then the Seattle Seahawks are eleven.

847
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: We went through it. Cardinals will face five teams with

848
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: knew head coaches Todd Bulls, Dennis s Allen, Nathan Hackett,

849
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, and Kevin O'Connell. And I'm glad we're getting

850
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: some of those guys, hopefully sooner rather than later, including

851
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels in Week two. Seven teams nine games against

852
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: opponents who made the playoffs last year, Rams, forty nine, Ers, Buccaneers, Eagles, Chiefs, Patriots,

853
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: and Raiders. It is a tough schedule on paper as

854
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: we speak here in May. What happens when we get

855
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: to September and the start of the regular season again,

856
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: Gang tickets, Asy Cardinals dot Com slash tickets, Asy Cardinals

857
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: dot Com slash tickets. It is out, it is done.

858
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 1: We can now focus on the players and what happens

859
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: on the field, and coming up on Monday, we're gonna

860
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 1: give you a chance to recap what happened on rookie Minicamp.

861
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: We're allowed to be out there thirty minutes and then

862
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: we'll see what stuff of the transpires over the weekend.

863
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: Eight draft picks, twelve undraft at free agents, and then

864
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna have some tryout guys. They will bring in

865
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: a couple of arms because you need a quarterback. Trace

866
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: mcsorty is not eligible to do it, so make sure

867
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: you tune on Monday. We'll have some information and then

868
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: we get closer to OTAs and this is where we

869
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: could the veterans get back and the rookies will start learning.

870
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: So first impressions of those eight draft picks, we'll do

871
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: that next and on that note, we'll put a lid

872
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,160
