0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Arizona Cardinals that he told the team, and I loosely quote,

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>our best football men is still ahead of us. If so,

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>if true, look out, I mean you talk about tick

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>bye week bender fueled by trip to Finn and hitting

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the sauce. Cranberry sauce. Okay, the Cards went into the

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>bye as a refresher. Oh, I don't know, with the

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>best record in the NFL at nine and two, six

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and Ozo on the road four and oh in the

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>division number one in all the power Poles, although those

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>pesky Green Bay Packers are getting a few votes right now.

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Last we saw the Cardinals, the first place Cardinals had

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>just left the Seahawks in last place. And I gotta

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, Wolf, I had a full blown

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>acute case of the bye week blots earlier this week.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>But then I remembered that the Seahawks in last place,

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and that's that really just puts some wind in my sales.

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>And I'm ready to finish this week strong. On the

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Big Red Rage Night featuring d Lineman Extraordinary Corey Peters

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>presented by Santanfordy. Yeah, cannot wait to talk to Corey Peters, Polly,

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>no doubt about that. So you've got Pete Carroll images

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>of Pete Carroll dancing through your head. You know what

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>you're saying. calBC Consulting does have one bit of free

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 1>advice for twelve million dollar year, Pete Carroll, You're ready, yes,

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Instead of spending about twenty five to thirty minutes before

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>every game warming up your arm. You might want to

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>go hit some more game film. You might want to

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>look at the laminated playsheet one last time. You might

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>want to think about a few audibles and adjustments instead

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>of warming up your arm before every game. That's just me.

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>You know what Polly at us like. Come on, you're

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>you're embellishing. Of course you're firing for effect on Pete Carroll.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Right now, we all know what a great coach Pete

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Carroll has been. There's no doubt about about Polly. I

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you. Watching the Arizona Cardinals dismantle the Seattle

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks in front of the Twelves, where we heard booze PAUI,

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>where we heard booze all I could think of two things. Man,

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>this might be it for Russell and it might be

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>it for Peak. Yeah. I think your operative words are

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>wolf or has been has been. That's what a lot

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>of the twelves we're thinking. As the Cardinals left that

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>building and left them in last place once again. And

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I failed to site that. In addition

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to the nine and two record six and on the

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>road four and o in the Division. They won two

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>of those games without their starting quarterback on the road

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>in the division, and now they're tracking to get Kyler

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Murray and DeAndre Opkins back. In fact, Cliff Kingsbury was

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>asked about that this week. That should help to the

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>best players in the league. So hopefully they can pick

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>right up where they left off, but that's always a

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>concern getting adjusted to the speed of the game. Will

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>once again have quite a few good on good reps

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>this week, so they can feel that speed and hopefully

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and come out and play at a high level. But

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>it'll be an adjustment period for them, all right. So

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>two teams, Wolf just put the no into November. The

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Suns no losses in November, correct, that's right, And the

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals no dhop, no Kyler Murray in November. So when

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the head coach says they hope they can just come

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>right back in and pick up where they're left off,

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>is that realistic in your estimation? Yeah, that is the

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>question right there, Polly. It is a tough one to

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>answer as well. It's interesting because Aaron Rodgers he missed

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>some time. He came back, he struggled in his first

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>game back. Polly and then Russell Wilson did exactly the

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>same thing. After missing weeks, he came back and he

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>struggled in his first game. And then Dak Prescott as well,

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>he went through the same thing. So, you know what,

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to say about it. Do I

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>expect Kyler Murray, if in fact he does play, to

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>be a little rusty. Yeah, I think he's probably gonna

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>have to knock a little rust off, maybe in that

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>first quarter. But you know what, I'm not going to

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>put anything past the mighty Kyler Murray. Who knows what

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>he might do. He might come back and throw for

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>four hundred plus. Yeah. He met the media yesterday and

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>towards the end I had a chance to ask him.

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I said, look, Jalen Thompson just told us that he

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>got better when he was injured a year ago because

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>he learned a lot watching from the sideline. And so

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>my question to Kyler was basically the same, Have you

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 1>learned anything missing these three games and watching from the

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 1>front row on the white stripe of the sideline. I

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>think you can definitely helpe, you know, watching from the

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>sideline kind of kind of relaxing, you know, getting a

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>different perspective of the game. You know, I think when

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you're back there playing quarterback, a lot of things, there's

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of moving parts. You know, things are moving

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>faster than you know they may seem. And then you know,

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.600
<v Speaker 1>watching from the sideline, it's just like it's kind of

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>everything slowed down and you see it as for what

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>it is. Yeah, I definitely think I got you know,

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>I took some away from it, for sure. So there

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>was good question, Paul. That was your question. And uh,

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>there's disbelief there. You're not you're not believing what I

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>just said. That was a good question right there, Paul,

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Well played by you. You know what's amazing about that too,

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the speed of this game, and in particular the speed

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Chicago Bears and their pass rush. Now, listen,

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I understand there's no Khalil Mack, but they still have

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>good pass rush personnel, Polly, and they still have very

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 1>very good schemes as well. The number one team in

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.239
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League in sacks per attempt getting after

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback right there. But you know what, they've had

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a hard time covering Paul for the most part. And

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that's where I think the Arizona Cardinos could exploit the

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Bears defense a little bit, but who knows, Polly,

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>who knows what kind of day that's gonna be. You know,

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 1>Robert Quinn, remember our old pal from the Rams in

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the division. Man, he's had a he has had a

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>big time year again, eleven sacks on the year. He

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>is tracking for another Pro Bowl. He's already a two

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>time Pro Bowler. So yeah, he's the big guy off

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the edge you gotta worry about. You heard. Cliff Kingsbury

0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>also tell the media this week that they're going to

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>do a lot more good on good in his estimation,

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to try and get de Hoop and Kyler Murray as

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>close to game speed and game ready as possible, because

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>come on, you know, just to come from watching to

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden playing, I don't care how accomplished

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>you are, and we're talking about two of the best

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>players in the league. You're right, Wolf, I would fully expect,

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>especially in that weather, and to get rolling there. You know,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the whole rust versus rest thing. Half most of the

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>team's coming off the rest, and then a couple of

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>other guys are dealing with Russ. Well, listen to day.

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's gonna be a tough, tough thing, a

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>tough proposition for Kyler Murray to sit there and throw

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball. I think the Arizona Cardinals are gonna have

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to run it if, in fact, the weather reports, if

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>they remain true. Polly, you know this better than anybody

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>anybody else. I'm sure you've been checking the weather reports.

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>But here talking about a forty five degree day in Chicago,

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>sixteen mile prour wind and a seventy five percent chance

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>of rain. How's that feels so, Polly, They're gonna have

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to run the ball. But I wouldn't put anything passed

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray and d hop coming back. And by the way,

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I would not underestimate Kyler's ability to throw in the win.

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>What people people don't realize in Cleveland, Man, that was

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a fierce wind, especially that one end of the stadium.

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>He did a ridiculous job of being efficient and accurate

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>with that ball through the win in Cleveland. So I mean,

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 1>if you get away with a sixteen mile par win

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago, I think you'll be lucky based on what

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing. A no, well, if I haven't been checking

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the weather forecast of all, because they just updated it

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to an eighty percent chance of rain, So I haven't

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 1>been checking that at all as the side anyway. Here,

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>how about Colt McCoy on the Dave Pash Podcast speaking

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>of Kyler Murray. And we know what Colt did. He

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>came in and had two fantastic games. One of the

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Niners got to win, the other the Seahawks got the

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>win Vance Joseph. He told the media man. In that situation,

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>road Division games with a backup quarterback, there are many

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>teams that win those games in that situation. Cole McCoy

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>did it, but he knows his role and that's mentoring

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray. Yeah, we are in two totally different places,

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's very healthy. Funny conversations go on. And he

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 1>never changed the diaper in his life. He doesn't know

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 1>what I'm talking about. You know. He still goes home

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and plays video games and is still young, right, but

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>his maturity and his wisdom in the game is very high.

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>And we have lots of great conversations. We've been able

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to talk through things. How do you see this? What

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 1>do you think I should do here? How should I

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>handle this? All those things that Again, I just think

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it's been very healthy and productive, and I'll tell you

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 1>see it on the sideline, well if you see it.

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes the first guy that Kyler consults with is Cole McCoy,

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>other times as Cam Turner. Sometimes it's the head coach,

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Cliff Kingsbury. But I mean, you tell me, when you

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>have a guy your peer, someone you look up to,

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that you were in high school and you watched him

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>star four years at Texas, right, You've respected his game

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>for about a decade, and now he's your teammate, it's

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 1>just a little different coming from that guy versus maybe

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>an assistant coach, no doubt, a bottom bully. And again

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you can see the impact act off Colt McCoy on

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.959
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray right now. But going back to the changing

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>from the diaper thing, let me just say this, it's

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>great because we all know that you've got to go

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 1>in hard when you change that diaper. You better go

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>in hard or you're gonna be doomed, you know what. Yet,

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that kind of advice, which is so tangible, also applies

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.199
<v Speaker 1>to playing quarterback in the National Football League. You have

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 1>to go hard all the time on and off the field.

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>And Colt McCoy is doing a great job teaching Kyler

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Murray that so Ron Wolfley treats BabyCare like he did

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>covering a kickoff, So same mentality. Apparently it's true. We'll

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>come back with Corey Peters, the Cardinals veteran defensive lineman,

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>and we'll get into the thick of this is Simon

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago. Next on the Big Red Rage presented by

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:52.720
<v Speaker 1>santan Ford and Gilbert. First down on the thirty two

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 1>of Tennessee. They run Henry off the left side and

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>he has swallowed up in the backfield at the thirty

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>yard line by Corey Peters. Another negative play, a loss

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.559
<v Speaker 1>of two and man. The Cardinals defensive linemen are whipping

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the Titans offensive. Laurens Cousins under center, takes gives the

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>cook up them. It all planted. Cory Peters got off

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the block and stuffed it, and Corey just engulfed Tlvin Cook.

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>That was a big third down stop in Week two,

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>forcing a Vikings punt led to a Cardinals touchdown on

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the ensuing drive. We, of course, Ron wolf Ley, are

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 1>talking about a guy in its twelfth season. We're talking

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the point zero one percent of all football players in

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the land. Right one of our favorites PAULI indeed, although

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>regrettably for him. The last time we saw Corey Peters

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Wolf let me remind you, and Corey himself he joins

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>us here in the Big Red Rage presented by santan

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Ford and Gilbert. He was talking himself some serious trash

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>in the meal room in La I believe it is.

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky Wildcats were ranked highly and they had just beatn

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>LSU to improve to six at all, and I think

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that was the last win they saw for a month, Corey.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not sure if that was karma you tell us,

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>but that was sort of the pinnacle of your Kentucky season,

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 1>was it not? Man? You know, we had a tough

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 1>few games, but you know we all right. We're back

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>in the top twenty five last I saw, you know,

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>so hopefully we'll get a good Bowl game. Corey, Man,

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for joining us. Really do appreciate it. Here, Um,

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>congratulations on playing another year in the National Football League.

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>They just continue to pile up for you. Talk a

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit about your year this year. Has it been frustrating?

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Where are you encouraged? Talk about this year in general? Yeah,

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it's been It's been quite an interesting year for me,

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>just getting back on the team in training camp and

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 1>just being excited about that. And I think the season's

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>going really well up until this point. I'm really excited

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>about the potential for this team. I think everybody has

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the right mindset and still is working very are week

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to week, just locking in on the task at hand,

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I think it's it's been good for us.

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>So I'm really excited about the potential opportunity that we

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>have in front of us, and you know, hopefully, you know,

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 1>we can keep it going. Look, you're a three time

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>team captain with the Cardinals, and from the outset of

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the off season, Steve Kime and Cliff Kingsburg were hell

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>being on getting more guys like you more leadership. How

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>different is the chemistry in that locker room? Because we

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 1>hear guys talk about how much time they're spending together,

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 1>right that three letter F word fun. Guys are enjoying

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the game and spending time on their own with each other.

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>How big a deal is that in this nine and

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>two season. Um, I think it's a huge deal. Um.

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think it's always better when guys you know,

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>like each other and you know, I think you can

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>really see that with this team, and not just within

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>position groups, but you know, there's a lot of guys

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 1>that carry over, a lot of guys that are close

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to each other on offense and defense, and UM, so

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.439
<v Speaker 1>I think when you see that, um, you know, I

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>always see de hop overcoming over talking to the defense,

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, giving advice and pointers and telling what he sees,

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and then I see guys on defense challenging them the

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>same way. So, UM, I think it's been really good. Um.

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we have a lot of good events

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>all across the team, and that that's great because the

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 1>mindset always stays where it needs to be and when

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>we you know, when it gets away from that, you know,

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>there's different voices always there to kind of get everybody

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>back on track. You know, Corey, when I listen to

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you say that about de Hop, um, that is truly

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>amazing to me. The accountability that is going on inside

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>of that locker room. It seems like every player in

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that locker room has a peer at least one, if

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 1>not multiple beers. Every player inside that locker room has

0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>got to be accountable to his teammate. I don't if

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen anything like that. I know, I certainly

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't play on a team in the ten years in

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>my National Football League experience that had that kind of accountability.

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>How rare is that? Um? I think it is, you know,

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>somewhat rare. And I think it starts with just new

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>to a respect and guys really knowing that you know,

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>if anybody is critiquing you or accounting you, you know

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>it's coming from a good place and you know, one

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that wanted team to be better. And so I think

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 1>guys take it with that in mind and really flourish

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>with it. And you know what, Wolf to your point,

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>we heard it after Week one. We heard that highlight

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Corey against Tennessee. Well after that game, remember Christian Kirk

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>was our postgame radio guest, and he said on air,

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>We're not letting stuff slide this year. I mean that

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>is that a big palpable difference from a year ago? Corey?

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, have you seen multiple examples of that? Because

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what I do. See it on the

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>sideline player to player. It's almost it's like the player

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>is the bad cop, and then the assistant coach comes

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>in sometimes is the good cop. Yeah, I mean, I

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>definitely can see that, you know, the increased I guess

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>this year and obviously where we are in the season

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and how good of a year we're having. And I

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>think that only continues to increase because you know, everybody

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>really truly recognizes the potential that we have, so we

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>don't want to let the opportunity pass us by. Corey,

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to me, go ahead and finish your I was

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>just gonna say, Corey, I was gonna say, talk to

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>me about this year twenty twenty one for Corey Peters

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you personally, how is it going right now? Um, It's

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>going well, you know, it's just it's just a matter

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>of every week. You know, I'm getting older and obviously

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>coming out the injury, so just figuring out a routine

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>that allows me to be at my best every Sunday. Um,

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and that's just really putting the time in and um,

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Cardinal have a great team. I work

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>with some great people outside of the Cardinals, and you know,

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 1>it's been it's been good for me. Obviously, just a

0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>continual grind that the season is. It's important that I

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 1>just continue to stay on top of that and I

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 1>will and you know, I feel pretty good right now.

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's easy to say, hey, the Cardinals have

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>a top five scoring offense, but hello, the Cardinals have

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.680
<v Speaker 1>a top five scoring defense. And it's been that case

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 1>all season long. What do you like about this year's defense?

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 1>What stands out to you? Well, I think it's just, uh,

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.119
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of on those same lines, a lot of

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.639
<v Speaker 1>guys that are putting their hands in the pot. We

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of run a lot of different things. Guys have

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to step up at times, guys have to step back

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 1>at times, and so you know, everybody's really brought into

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the team defense and really stepping in being a star

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 1>in the road that they're signed and regardless of what

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that is, no egos, just putting your best foot forward

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and to get it done for the team. UM And

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's been, you know, really helpful and it

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 1>allows us to go from game the game with um

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.959
<v Speaker 1>whatever playing that DJ and the rest of the staff.

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I think we can be successful with Corey. Can you

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit about the defensive line room, some

0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.040
<v Speaker 1>of the younger guys and how they're developing in that room.

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Can you talk a little bit about that. Yeah, I think, um,

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Zach is having a really good year for

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.679
<v Speaker 1>us and um, you know, really flashing and showing some

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 1>good things. Um, all of those guys worked really hard

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 1>this offseason. I mean they're hard workers in general, but um,

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 1>they really came back this this year, changed their bodies

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, a visible difference when you when you

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>look at them that I think you can see that

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>monkey he's coming along well, Uh, he's coming along well. Also, Um,

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously playing inside, it's a lot of technical

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 1>things that guys can improve on. But you know, I

0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 1>think you're you're seeing that continue will growth between all

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 1>of them. And then Dogby is doing great as well,

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.879
<v Speaker 1>showing up as well, making a lot of plays for us.

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm glad to see those guys continue

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.920
<v Speaker 1>to grow, you know. Isaiah Simmons said this week, we're

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 1>on board with Corey Peters, Cardinal's defensive lineman. Isaiah Simmons

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 1>said that he values his defensive line like a quarterback

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.879
<v Speaker 1>values his offensive line because it keeps him clean and

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 1>he can make plays. Right. And I wanted to ask him,

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.880
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't have the guts. Isaiah, You thinking about

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.080
<v Speaker 1>getting your d lineman a Christmas gift, you know, sort

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:32.919
<v Speaker 1>of like a quarterback we get something for me, you know,

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>should that become a staple in the NFL, those inside

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.479
<v Speaker 1>linebackers maybe getting a little something something for the d lineman.

0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I think so. I think it should be mandatory. And

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:43.880
<v Speaker 1>now that I know that you said that, you know,

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely gonna be asking him about it tomorrow. It's

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>on record in his press conference he did say that.

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>So that's by the way, here's Vance Joseph speaking of

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.120
<v Speaker 1>press conferences, just talking about you know what he's been

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about all year basically, and that is, Hey, if

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you can win first down and or second down and

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:05.440
<v Speaker 1>force that third and long, that really is all important

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 1>for that Cardinals defense. Here's your decordinator for our defense,

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 1>winning first down, winning second down, and keeping the third

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 1>downs longer to allow a chance to rush, to allow

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, jump to rush. That's the key for our defense.

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, we have to always win first down and

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.399
<v Speaker 1>win second down so we can dictate third downs. All right,

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's easy to say, but what's the key when

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 1>it happens. What are you guys doing as a defensive front.

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I think we're all just on the same page, everybody

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:35.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of working as a unit. I'm attacking the line

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of scrimmage as a front and you know, linebackers being

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>able to clean up everything else. And you know, I

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 1>think when we do it right, we have a lot

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of success. And you know, when we have lapses in

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.479
<v Speaker 1>technique or in all process, then that's when we have

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, issues. But um, you know, I'm looking forward

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>to continueing to have those opportunities to improve our run

0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 1>defense and to show that, you know, we are capable.

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>You know Corey obviously, Zavian Collins hasn't gotten a lot

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:07.439
<v Speaker 1>of reps yet. At the same time, I know that

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>he is developing. And Isaiah Simmons as well. Can you

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about those two young guys in particular and what

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you see from them when given the opportunity. I think

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 1>both of them are studs. You know obviously physically, you know,

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:26.920
<v Speaker 1>they're big, tall guys and you know, fast, can run,

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>can move, everything you will want from a linebacker. Isaiah's

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.119
<v Speaker 1>really starting to flash. The thing that's been most impressive

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to me about him is his ability to create turnovers

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and getting the ball out. He seems to have a

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.479
<v Speaker 1>knack for that. And then zavan you know, obviously he

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 1>just needs to continue to get more reps, and I

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>think his biggest challenge is probably a mental one at

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:53.520
<v Speaker 1>this point. And so as a as a middle linebacker,

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you we were just talking about with Isaiah,

0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 1>it is akin two quarterback in the sense that you know,

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.159
<v Speaker 1>you are the brain of the decense. You have to

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 1>make all the calls. So being able to physically do

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:08.199
<v Speaker 1>something is one thing, but being able but having to

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, line a D lineup, get the secondary calls

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and doing all that in a short amount of time.

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Process and offensive formation and sets and making adjustments and

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 1>all those sorts of things. It's a process for everybody.

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 1>So um, he just needs to continue to work on

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 1>that and improve with that. How good is your safety combination?

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, give us a quick word on those two guys,

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>Brudha Baker and Jalen Thompson. You know, I think everybody

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>knows what Bouddha brings to the table. Obviously pro bowler

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and the league player, but I think

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Jayleen Jalen has really shown himself to be, you know,

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 1>really that type of player as well. Obviously coming up

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and showing the physicality from the second level. Lots of

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:56.240
<v Speaker 1>big hit this year, lots of key tackles, and you

0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>know his feet, he has really good seat for say,

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's almost like he had some cornerback qualities physically,

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>so and you know what, you know he played he

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>played corner in high school and that's the transition he made.

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:14.400
<v Speaker 1>And we'll talk more about that when we come back,

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna hear what it might have sounded like

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:20.199
<v Speaker 1>if you might have scored in Tennessee, Corey Peters. We

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>continue on the big red rage, Tanny Hill changing things

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>up under center. Second and eleven of the nineteen Tanny

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Hill takes fakes. The running trouble gets Taydler Jones forces

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a fumble, it's picked up by Corey Peters, pennies into

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the end zone in a touchdown. Tandler Jones is all

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>over the field and the big guy, Corey Peters scoops

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 1>him up and scores and the Cardinals lead at nine. Nothing.

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll let that hang just a little bit because eventually,

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:58.360
<v Speaker 1>ultimately it was overturned and we don't have to tell

0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Wolf our guests that Corey Peter or he is our guest,

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:04.399
<v Speaker 1>And uh, that's brutal, Paul, I can't believe you played

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that I'm not the producer of the show, but we

0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>thought maybe we'd let you bask in the glow of

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 1>that touchdown return there, even though you had an outstanding

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>game in your first game back from the knee injury,

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 1>had two tackles, you had two tackles for loss, and

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>that one fumble recovery that Corey Peters was this close

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:29.439
<v Speaker 1>to being a touchdown memories, But but you were. You

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed it for a good what sixty to ninety seconds

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>before they eventually overturned it. Right, Oh, for sure, I

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 1>thought I was in. For sure. We thought it was

0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:39.919
<v Speaker 1>no way, but I saw it on TV, and I

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 1>think I was at a little short Yeah, now, Corey, listen,

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to get into obviously the Chicago Bears here momentarily,

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and we'll do that. But Vance Joseph. Talk to me

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:56.360
<v Speaker 1>about Vance Joseph as a defensive coordinator and your thoughts

0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:59.880
<v Speaker 1>on him becoming at some point in time again had

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 1>coach in the NF phone. Yeah, I love DJ. I

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 1>think he's a great candidate, obvious, an excellent communicator, and

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 1>he does a good job of getting everybody on the

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 1>same page, you know, making sure that we understand the

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 1>plan and you know that we can function properly and

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>put and play fast. Most importantly, before you get to

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the Bears, let's talk about the road because the arison

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 1>our Cardinals are six and oh and every single win

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 1>has been by double digits, and the last team to

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>do that was in nineteen sixty eight. And even Cliff

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Kingsbury has said, you know what, I'd love to bottle

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>up what we've done on the road and bring it home.

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>What is it about this team when you guys go

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 1>away from the AC Now, I have no idea really

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>what the difference is. I just you know, on the road,

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I like playing on the road because you know, when

0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.679
<v Speaker 1>you travel with the team, he step on the field

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 1>is very clear that it's us against you know, everybody here.

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's just I guess it's something to rally behind

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and being on enemy territory. Um, you know, you really

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 1>want to get after it and get off two quick starts,

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and I think we've been able to do that. Talk

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:11.919
<v Speaker 1>about the Chicago Bears in their offense and what you

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 1>see on tape, well, I think the Bets are a

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:19.240
<v Speaker 1>really good offensive line and a running game. Obviously, the

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback situation justin fields. Being a rookie, you can see

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the talent every time you watch him play US elite

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:30.679
<v Speaker 1>speed and he's able to you know, extend plays and

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:33.880
<v Speaker 1>pick up yards with his seat. You can make all

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the throws as well, you know, But he is a rookie,

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:40.879
<v Speaker 1>So you know, if we get him or Andy Dalton,

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, which I think is still a little bit

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:46.159
<v Speaker 1>up in the air. Whose event, And you know, we

0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 1>played against him, we played against him last year in Dallas.

0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But obviously a veteran quarterback smart be able to get

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>them in the right plays and make the throws as well.

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be a big challenge for us playing

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:02.800
<v Speaker 1>on the road up there at the legendary stadium. So

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited about that, you know. But the Bands are

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 1>good challenge for us. I mean they're four and what seven,

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 1>but they're only a game out of the playoff chase,

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and they made a run at the end of last

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:18.919
<v Speaker 1>year and got into the playoffs set final wildcard spot.

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:21.920
<v Speaker 1>And they do feature David Montgomery and Wolf We've talked

0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:24.200
<v Speaker 1>about that and Corey. You know, there have been some

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 1>powerbacks who have given the Cardinals problems when you guys

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>have been stouting your run defense versus times when you haven't.

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>What has been the difference? I think it's just about consistency,

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:37.919
<v Speaker 1>Guys doing what they're supposed to do every play and

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 1>playing as a unit, trusting one another and not trying

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to do somebody else's job, just checking your own box. So,

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's definitely been a focus of rising. Montgomery

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:50.720
<v Speaker 1>is a great NFL running back. You know, he's going

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to get the yards that he's supposed to do. We

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 1>got to do a good job of mixing up the

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 1>fronts and giving him different looks and making sure there's

0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 1>multiple guys that are get him down Corey. Are they

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 1>more power scheme than zone scheme or do they mix

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:08.360
<v Speaker 1>it up pretty well? I'm the more zone scheme, but

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you know they have some big guys and um some

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:13.680
<v Speaker 1>strong guys, so you know, I would say that although

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.919
<v Speaker 1>they running his own plays, they like to get downhill

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and obviously the running back is a sturdy guy and

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:24.400
<v Speaker 1>can can really you know, break tackles as well. How

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:26.359
<v Speaker 1>does that affect you? How does that How does that

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:30.119
<v Speaker 1>change your job? If you've got an offensive line that

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 1>is more zone as opposed to an offensive line that

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.160
<v Speaker 1>is more gap scheme. How does that change your job

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>if at all? Well, I mean, it just depends. Um.

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Most of the time, it's just the way I choose

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to align based on um what I think we're gonna get. So,

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 1>if we're playing zone teams, um, depending on the speed

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:53.320
<v Speaker 1>of the zone or how quickly the offensive line zone block,

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll play wider um. But if they's slower, I may

0:28:57.560 --> 0:29:00.959
<v Speaker 1>play thicker because I you know, you don't think that

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>this guy's quick enough to really, you know, take off

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 1>on me. So you know, it just depends. And then

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 1>with gap scheme teams, you want to really recognize the

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 1>angles and eliminate them more never possible. So sometimes it'll

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>be a shade, sometimes it'll be a two eye Cardinals

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 1>d Lineman Corey Peters on board. You mentioned Vans Joseph earlier,

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and he mentioned after the Seattle went that he thought

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the defense did a great job of showing pre snap

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>looks then taking it away post snap. How multiple is

0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Vans and how often are you guys changing fronts and

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>coverages and giving offenses something to think about. Yeah, I

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 1>think this year we've we've played quite a bit of

0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 1>different fronts. We use a lot of different personnel groups,

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I think it does a good job

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 1>of keeping teams off balance. They don't really know or

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to say, for share what we're gonna be

0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 1>in UM. And then it also helps us because it

0:29:56.240 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>puts guys in situations where they can be successful, allow

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 1>them to of the things that they do well. Corey,

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 1>how much does the offense change with Andy Dalton under

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>center and Justin Fields when he's playing? How much does

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it change? I mean, immediately, I think there'd be zone reads,

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>there'd be a lot more RPOs. But what are you

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 1>seeing on tape? I don't think the offense changes much.

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I just think that you know, Justin Fields is a

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>much more dynamic runner. So you know, obviously when he's

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 1>in there and the play breaks down or look he's

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 1>not quite what they want. You know, his ability to

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>just take off and you know the yardage is really impressive.

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't seen much of him before, you know, really

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 1>starting to prepare for this game, so you know, I

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't really know that he was fast like that, but

0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, he really has a lead speed. We've seen

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Kyler were our defensive fronts, right, is that when you're

0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>glad like if you end up chasing justin fields all

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:01.080
<v Speaker 1>over the place. On the say, when you're glad you

0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 1>have a deep D line room in a rotation going

0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 1>oh absolutely, one hundred percent. I'm very appreciative of, you know,

0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 1>our ability to roll guys and to keep guys fresh.

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:14.680
<v Speaker 1>So Corey, here you are, you've got to buy. You're

0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 1>coming off at by late. Do you think that favors

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>good football teams having to buy late? Um? You know,

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I like it. Um, you know, obviously the first half

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>before the buy is a is a grind. But you know,

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 1>now we have six games less before playoffs, so you're

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 1>able to get a little break and refocus and um,

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you know for the home stretch and try to finish

0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>strong for the seating purposes and um, you know, going

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to the playoffs ride and high peaking at the right time.

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 1>It's coming off to buy a challenge. The last two

0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>years it hasn't been very pretty coming out of the buy.

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it can be a challenge. You know,

0:31:56.200 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly something Cliff addressed this week, you know, But

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I think we have a good group,

0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a very focused group. So you know, I'm expecting us

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to come out and um have a good performance on Sunday.

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 1>And then the last factor Wolf while you're up in

0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the booth and the climate control, there's an eighty percent

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.120
<v Speaker 1>chance of rain or so winds and cold and the

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. In fact, here's Devon Kennard. I'd having to

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:24.480
<v Speaker 1>break out a jacket recently. I guess he started packing

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 1>early for Chicago. Here's Canard. I know it'll be a

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:29.000
<v Speaker 1>lot colder than here, and I know as soon as

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the game's over, we're coming right back. So last night

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I had to break out like a little cold like.

0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I haven't I've been worn this in years.

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I had to go get it dry clean. They had

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 1>like dust and it's all wrinkled. I'm like, man, that's

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that's an Arizona guy. Corey right there, that that's you know,

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 1>when you when you haven't even contemplated wearing a jacket

0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 1>in over a year. I know it's really nice, you know,

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 1>good for it. I don't mind a cold weather. You know,

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know it was supposed to rain, but yeah,

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you know that is gonna be miserable. Corey right there,

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>your Hammys are gonna get all tight now because instead

0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>of rain. It's gonna be a freezing rain, and supposedly, Corey,

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>it's supposed to be a sixteen mile per hour wind

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 1>as well. And you know up there that can get nasty,

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:22.560
<v Speaker 1>can it. Yeah, that's gonna be brutal, you know, But

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody's playing in the same condition. So you know, I'm

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:28.280
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to the challenge, and I'm sure we'll be

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:30.080
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. I'm interested to see how some of

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the guys handling it, because this will be the first,

0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, real cold game we've had in a while.

0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Last question for me Rodney Hudson. Guys rave about Rodney Hudson,

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals center, and what he's brought to the offense

0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and the team this year. I mean, you go against

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:49.400
<v Speaker 1>centers for a living. You tell us what makes him

0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 1>so good? You know. It's funny, we were talking about

0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 1>this the other day. You know, Rodney's a really strong

0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 1>guy first and foremost, but he's also really smart. You know,

0:33:59.720 --> 0:34:02.120
<v Speaker 1>he's play center in the NFL for a long time.

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 1>He's um, he has all the savvy, you know, so

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:09.840
<v Speaker 1>he's rarely out of position, you know, So anything that

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you do to him to try to attack him and

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 1>beat him you're gonna have to truly create it, So

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:16.839
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to either run him over and knock

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 1>him out of the way or really, uh, you know,

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>make some big movements to you know, beat his hands.

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 1>But in that case, you know, he's a center, so

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 1>there's a guard there, and you know it's not a

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:30.839
<v Speaker 1>lot of space there. But um, you know, I think

0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:36.000
<v Speaker 1>his brain is probably his most uh you know, important tool.

0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess. I guess it's true for all of us.

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:40.480
<v Speaker 1>But you know, he's a really smart player. And the

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 1>communication the thing that he does best for our offensive line,

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:47.320
<v Speaker 1>it's getting everybody on the same page and the leadership

0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:51.799
<v Speaker 1>that he brings with that. Well, someday, Corey, we're gonna

0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 1>get the real story on how you ended up getting

0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Larry Fitzgerald once upon a time in a wrestling headlock

0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>on the weight room floor. I have intuition that I'm thinking, Okay,

0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Truck probably tried to take you down and accomplished high

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 1>school wrestler sort of like he took Wolf down. What

0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 1>three times Wolf Larry tackled you back in the day,

0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:14.400
<v Speaker 1>And unlike Wolf, Larry paid for it with Corey Peters

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:16.399
<v Speaker 1>and he got the worst out of that he ended

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 1>up a pretzel on the floor, but we'll save that

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 1>for the next time. Corey. We appreciate your time tonight.

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, thank you, thank you. Corey. There you go

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:27.959
<v Speaker 1>as I tell you, Hey, BALI let me just say,

0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Corey Peters and that defensive line is going to be

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:34.239
<v Speaker 1>instrumental if the Arizona Cardinals are gonna win a game,

0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:36.360
<v Speaker 1>no doubt. We'll talk more about that game and a

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:39.839
<v Speaker 1>reminder at the Day Pash podcast featuring Cardinals QB. Colt

0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:42.480
<v Speaker 1>McCoy is up. Get it where you get all your podcasts.

0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:45.000
<v Speaker 1>We continue with a big Red Rage presented by Santan

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 1>four in Gilbert gave Pash alongside of heavily caffeinated Ron Wolfley.

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Here at Soldier Field, right now is time to drop

0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the hammer. There's playing with great intensity, and then there's

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 1>playing with great intensity. That he was running, He was

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:06.759
<v Speaker 1>running and then he got hit by spot Day. Never

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:08.279
<v Speaker 1>been in a fight where you were bloody in the

0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:11.240
<v Speaker 1>other guy's face and it was just so easy slapping

0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 1>them around. I think that was you and me last

0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:18.319
<v Speaker 1>week got little like a man taser at a trailer park.

0:36:18.520 --> 0:36:24.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh my goodness, Shoa, whoa whoa wow, wow, wow wow.

0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 1>That was scary, yummy, sloppy. They are bludgeoning the Bears

0:36:28.800 --> 0:36:32.759
<v Speaker 1>right now. The spank oometer is in the red. You know,

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:35.000
<v Speaker 1>we need more spank oometer. Wolf. That should be your

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 1>new Year's resolution. Come on now, you know, especially in

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 1>this game coming out of the by I mean, the

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:43.600
<v Speaker 1>spank factor needs to be high because it hasn't been

0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the last two years out of the by. No. You

0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:49.879
<v Speaker 1>know what. Honestly, Paul had as a great observation right there,

0:36:50.080 --> 0:36:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the spank oometer does need the red line. Here. Listen,

0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 1>the Bears have one way to win this game, in

0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:59.759
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, one way to be in this game later

0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 1>that is to win the line of scrimmage on bull

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:06.400
<v Speaker 1>sides of the ball ball, especially if the weather is

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:10.320
<v Speaker 1>bad in the Carolina loss, would you say the Panthers

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 1>won the line of scrimmage? Yes, And it's amazing how

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.640
<v Speaker 1>when you win the physicality battle right that, all of

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 1>a sudden you end up with takeaways and you win

0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:23.719
<v Speaker 1>the turnover battle. It's funny how that happens when you're

0:37:23.719 --> 0:37:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the harder hitting team. So we'll see. Hey, the Bears

0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:29.280
<v Speaker 1>have won five of the last seven in this series.

0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 1>We know it's the oldest rivalry in the league, going

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 1>all the way back to nineteen twenty. So there's all

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:36.239
<v Speaker 1>this history. But you're also talking about a Bears team

0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:39.600
<v Speaker 1>that has been reeling. They just snapped a five game skid.

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Ron Wolflee, their head coach. There have been two words,

0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 1>fire Naggie. That's been all over Chicago Land. Not just

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 1>chance at games, chance at the United Center during Bulls

0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:52.160
<v Speaker 1>and Blackhawks games. There have been chance at his sons

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 1>high school football games. Despicable and deplorable businesses on their

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:01.840
<v Speaker 1>marquees have fire Naggie displayed out front. It's but he

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:03.759
<v Speaker 1>got to win against the Lions. And here's the stat

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you need to know him, Matt Naggie. He is seven

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and one against the Lions, in sub five hundred against

0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:12.200
<v Speaker 1>every other team in his four years. Yeah, that's that's

0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 1>not good, Paul, that's not good. Right there. It's still

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't get me sidetrack, Pollie. I want

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the Bears. I want to talk about

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they're number three in the league in

0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:25.320
<v Speaker 1>their run rate. Did you know that, Paul did not

0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>know that the Bears with David Montgomery, Of course, and

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that very good offensive line. Corey Peters talking about that

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:34.480
<v Speaker 1>good offensive line. They love to run the ball and

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>they do it very very well. And I would say

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 1>basically in between the tackles is where they specialize. We

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:43.720
<v Speaker 1>have seen from time to time, Palli. We have seen

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the Arizona Cardinals in that front seven struggle to stop

0:38:47.960 --> 0:38:51.719
<v Speaker 1>the run against good running football teams. We've also seen

0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:55.520
<v Speaker 1>them shut it down against good running football teams like

0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the Cleveland Browns and the Tennessee Titans. So what what

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 1>are we going to see from the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday?

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I would say start there because it's one of the

0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 1>things the Bears can do is run the football. And look,

0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:14.640
<v Speaker 1>if they run it with a quarterback, that's going to

0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:17.680
<v Speaker 1>be an added dynamic that Corey Peters cited that if

0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:20.560
<v Speaker 1>indeed Justin Fields goes now, I don't think most people

0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 1>are expecting him, but you're right, you're talking about an

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:27.520
<v Speaker 1>offense that is dead last and passing offense. They are

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:30.200
<v Speaker 1>able to get the run going at times, although ever

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 1>since David Montgomery sprain that knee in Week four, he

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:35.920
<v Speaker 1>hasn't quite been the same or as effective. And then

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 1>if it's a sloppy game and it's limited possessions. Yeah,

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:42.439
<v Speaker 1>it could get sideways, and you've got a Bears team

0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:44.560
<v Speaker 1>that just gotta win. Snap this kid, they're only a

0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:48.160
<v Speaker 1>game out of the playoff race. Incomprehensibly. So if all

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, the crowd gets behind him at home

0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and they get a little momentum, we know all that's happened,

0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and we know what the Cardinals have looked like coming

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:57.200
<v Speaker 1>out of the by the last two years. It's really interesting, Bully,

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:00.600
<v Speaker 1>because in rundown situation once again, and never forget run

0:40:00.640 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 1>down first and ten second and one to six. That's

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 1>who you are as an offense. It's who you are.

0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Never forget that. The Bears they love to be an

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:15.040
<v Speaker 1>eleven personnel fifty six percent of the time and run down.

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:17.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's one back, one tight end, three wide receivers,

0:40:18.080 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and they literally split it up fifty fifty. They are

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:25.360
<v Speaker 1>run pass fifty fifty out of eleven personnel. And rundown

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:28.319
<v Speaker 1>situation when they get into two tights, Paul, when they

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:32.959
<v Speaker 1>go twelve personnel, which happens twenty nine percent of the time, man,

0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 1>that's when all of a sudden, look out, that's when

0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:38.759
<v Speaker 1>they lower the plow and hit the gas. Sixty one

0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:43.520
<v Speaker 1>percent run, thirty nine percent pass. That's what the Cardinals

0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>are going to have to deal with, I think twelve

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.520
<v Speaker 1>personnel and the fact that they're going to try to

0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:51.440
<v Speaker 1>hammer it. And their number one receiver, Allen Robinson is

0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>not practice yet this week. So when you say two tights,

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:58.400
<v Speaker 1>they have two legitimate receiving weapons in Jimmy Graham and

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Cole Commet. Both were very good against the Lions. He

0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>saw Jimmy Graham with a touchdown catch. You saw Cole

0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>come at eight, grab sixty five yards. So there's that,

0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and then there's our producer Jim Almahondro screaming at me

0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:11.160
<v Speaker 1>via tex. Now, wait a minute, what about the Cardinals

0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>run game, Ron Wolfley, what about a sloppy game and

0:41:13.800 --> 0:41:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you bust out James Conner and you take it to

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 1>a Bears team, Because here's what you need to know

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:20.600
<v Speaker 1>on the Bears defense. The last four times they have

0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:23.239
<v Speaker 1>given up less than one hundred yards rushing, they won

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:26.520
<v Speaker 1>all four. The last five times they've given up more

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:29.239
<v Speaker 1>than one hundred yards rushing, they've lost all five. Yeah,

0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:31.560
<v Speaker 1>there's no doubt. BALI right there, I'm glad you brought

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that up, because the Arizona Cardinals are number five in

0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League in run rate, number five the

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:40.880
<v Speaker 1>air rate. We were laughing about this last week, but

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:44.319
<v Speaker 1>now they've dropped a number five. That's still a leak.

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine top five and running the football. The

0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Bears are number three, the Cardinals are number five, and

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:53.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, a polly once again, this is exactly why

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:56.279
<v Speaker 1>you need to be capable of doing anything. This is

0:41:56.320 --> 0:41:59.360
<v Speaker 1>exactly why you need to be balanced. Whether you're a

0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:02.280
<v Speaker 1>good pass team or a good running team or both.

0:42:02.400 --> 0:42:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Man you want that balance in your offense so that

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:09.759
<v Speaker 1>when you go to Soldier Field, you can run the

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:12.520
<v Speaker 1>ball with the likes of a James Connor and hammer

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the ball. I wouldn't be surprised if James Connor touches

0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:19.319
<v Speaker 1>the ball thirty times in this game. Yeah, and once

0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:21.600
<v Speaker 1>again Cliff Kingsbury and his TV show said, yeah, we

0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 1>have to do something about that, right, being top five

0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:25.640
<v Speaker 1>in the in the run rate. Okay, he's stand back

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's joking. He's the one call in the plays

0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and he was asked big picture coming out of the

0:42:29.960 --> 0:42:32.719
<v Speaker 1>by This is the first of the final six games Hey,

0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:35.239
<v Speaker 1>head coach, what do you want to see? You'd like

0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:38.200
<v Speaker 1>to see improvement in our areas? At times I thought

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:42.480
<v Speaker 1>we played really good, complimentary football, but at certain games

0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 1>we didn't reach the level that we'd like to. And

0:42:45.680 --> 0:42:49.719
<v Speaker 1>I think just consistency over these last six and being

0:42:49.719 --> 0:42:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the best team we can be moving forward. But I

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:53.239
<v Speaker 1>think our best football is out in front of us.

0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:55.399
<v Speaker 1>I told our team that before he left on the break,

0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:58.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of room for improvement in all areas,

0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and that'll be our goal moving forward. Like Aaa Simmons

0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:03.400
<v Speaker 1>said this week, you know what, if anyone's taking the

0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Bears lightly. If the Cardinals lose this game, then guess what.

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:09.960
<v Speaker 1>They lose control of their own destiny in the playoff race,

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.160
<v Speaker 1>which brings us full circle back to the hashtag everyone

0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:16.400
<v Speaker 1>should live by no lambeaux because the Packers are right

0:43:16.440 --> 0:43:18.279
<v Speaker 1>on your heels. They're stealing some of your number one

0:43:18.320 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>votes in some of these power polls, and so yes,

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:23.360
<v Speaker 1>that's why I win against the Bears. Sub five hundred

0:43:23.360 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Bears is vitally important. And I also think too being

0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:28.280
<v Speaker 1>able to run the ball once again for the Cardinals

0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:30.919
<v Speaker 1>is going to be critical. PAULI and the reason being

0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:33.760
<v Speaker 1>is the Bears are number one in sacks per attempt

0:43:34.040 --> 0:43:37.319
<v Speaker 1>in the National Football League, but they're number twenty eight

0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:40.440
<v Speaker 1>in defensive quarterback rating pall And you know this is

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:43.759
<v Speaker 1>a big metric to me. It really is, because quarterback rating.

0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 1>The Arizona Cardinals are number one in the National Football

0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:51.000
<v Speaker 1>League in quarterback rating, and quarterback rating is an excellent

0:43:51.160 --> 0:43:54.080
<v Speaker 1>metric as to how a human being is actually playing

0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position in the National Football League. Their number

0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:02.440
<v Speaker 1>one with the edition of Colt McCoy playing in three

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:05.600
<v Speaker 1>games as well. So you know it right now, Paulie,

0:44:06.040 --> 0:44:08.759
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna have to run it and they're gonna have

0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to throw it because the Bears are number twenty eight

0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:16.560
<v Speaker 1>in defensive quarterback rating in the National Football League. If

0:44:16.600 --> 0:44:19.160
<v Speaker 1>they get to you, they get to you. But if

0:44:19.160 --> 0:44:22.040
<v Speaker 1>they don't get to you, you're completing passes against them.

0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Paul Hey, when you think of the Bears, how can

0:44:25.040 --> 0:44:28.200
<v Speaker 1>you not think, oh, well, I don't know. Episode nine
