And maybe I'll cite 15 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: a couple of things that I will not say on 16 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: this edition of Cardinals Underground, present a by Pacific Office Automation. 17 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it's my promise, do you hi? Andy will be 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: one number two. I will miss my cue on Isaiah 19 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: Simmons that probably. In fact, I already have failed to 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: say that each of the last two. So when you're 21 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: talking about things I will not say, I guess you 22 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: do have to include that. We can we pause real quick. 23 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: I can run upstairs to my desk quickly make my 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: bingo car that I forget to do week after weekend, 25 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: though we can restart. Okay, here we go. I mean, 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: it took thirteen seconds for this just to blow up 27 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 1: in my face things I will not be saying Pauly 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 1: podcast As I look at a snarky, laughing Darren Urban 29 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: and a skeptical Danny Serek, I'm not gonna wine or 30 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: gripe or grouse about the weather that we just experience 31 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: in Denver because like, by tomorrow it's going to be 32 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: sub zero, so less than a week after we left 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: Denver hashtag it can always get worse, and it will 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: in a very significant way. So there's that. And be 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: by the way, Danny, you alerted me to the one 36 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: suite from the NFL insider who is who broke down 37 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: the forecasted temperatures for this weekend's games. Think goodness, State 38 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: Farm Stadium has a roof. That's all I gotta say. Oh, 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: that's the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season. 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: Climate control and a roof that you can close at 41 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: state farms. So is it going to be closed on Sunday? 42 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: Are you predicting something? You know? I don't know. That's 43 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: a good point. Even if it's open, it's not going 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: to be as cold as those other games. Actually, you 45 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: know what, opened the stinking roof Because I'll be in 46 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: the booth. I'll be enjoying climate control. So Danny, you're 47 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: gonna be down there. You deal with any and all 48 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: elements in the weather conditions down there. Yeah, So for once, 49 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm in favor actually of just dealing with whatever. You know, 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: the weather this week I think it was no, we're 51 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: going to get into why actually, m the presence of 52 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,839 Speaker 1: yours truly up in the booth is a bad thing 53 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: for everyone involved. I'm going to break that down a 54 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: little bit later. I unfortunately I probably have to own something, 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: but I'm not there quite yet. I saw this trending article. Okay, 56 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: things you should not be saying in the workplace. This 57 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: is the list of the top Wait, I'm sorry, you're 58 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: going to read a list of things you shouldn't be 59 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: saying in the workplace, at your workplace where not things 60 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: that will get your fire determinated Danny, My goodness, okay, 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm ready here, I'm can I finish the list? Yes? Sorry. 62 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: It's the top five passive aggressive phrases that make people 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: respect you less microaggressions. Number one on the list is 64 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: when you say the words just a friendly reminder dot 65 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: dot dot. According to this public speaking expert quote, this 66 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: phrase only camouflages your request and makes the other person 67 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: think you're trying to nag, blame, or be bossy when 68 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: you say a just a friendly reminder, there handrahand in 69 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: sales that dot dot dot. Oh, I know one of 70 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: these is going to be. Then another one is, um, 71 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: why could you say it all the time? Another one 72 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: would be if Darren's no offense but yeah, So if 73 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: Darren said to you, Danny, don't take this the wrong way, 74 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: but I would immediately take it the wrong way, right, Yes, 75 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: Because it's described as lazy and self serving logic from 76 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: the person who does say it, and it almost always 77 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: prefaces something annoying or offensive. I think we agree with that, 78 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: since Darren specializes in the sarcastic at times. There's also 79 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: the two words I don't know what you're talking about. 80 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: The two words got it meaning if Danny said something 81 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: to you, Darren, you said got it as in, you 82 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: know translation, shut it, I heard you, or you're annoying me, 83 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: leave me alone, got it? There's that get off me, right. 84 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: I should be writing these downs so I can yell 85 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: all of them at you over my desk, Paul. And 86 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: then this is one I'm totally guilty of using with 87 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: my teenage punks at home. It goes something like this, 88 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: if that's what you want to do, dot dot dot. 89 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: If that's what you want to do, that's pretty passive aggressive, 90 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,119 Speaker 1: definitely implies disapproval. Put it that way right. Other scenes 91 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: along those lines would be just so you know or 92 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: for future reference. These are all things a parent might 93 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: use with a teenager around the house. I like the 94 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: one in the email where it says per my previous 95 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: email or per my previous request that's actually in the 96 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: list others receiving votes, Yeah, per my last email dot 97 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: dot dot. That's that that qualifies as passive aggressive. When 98 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: we email each other before the show about you know, 99 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: any topics we want to talk about, that's all I'm 100 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: just going to respond from here on out. So maybe 101 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: that's my way of avoiding the first topic on this 102 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: edition of Cardinals under Ground, and that would be what 103 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: Darren terms the quarterback quandary. Yeah, there you go. Okay, 104 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: where where are the Cardinals at right now? Right now 105 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: as we record this. We've got Colt McCoy and concussion protocol. 106 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: We've got Kyler Murray on crutches on crutches, uh, trying 107 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: to get some prehab done in the in the facility 108 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: before he has a surgery. And we have Trace McSorley 109 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: apparently lining up to have his first NFL start Christmas 110 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: Night on national television against Tom Brady unless David Blow 111 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: beats him out. Duravid blows and cow during a couple 112 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: of walkthroughs watching when the forty nine ers played the 113 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: Bucks with Brock Purty his first career start was what 114 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: was that stat? Was it? He was the first player 115 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: to beat Tom Brady start. Yes, things are trending the 116 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: wrong way for Tom Brady. You see the last stat 117 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: that just happened in their most recent loss last week 118 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals, where they led seventeen nothing. Tom 119 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: Brady had been eighty nine and oh in games he 120 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: had led by seventeen points or more and they lost. 121 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: So these are first time happenings in a career that 122 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: spans nearly two dozen years. First time he's lost eight 123 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: games in a season. There you go. So Wolf and 124 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: I talked about this with the coach, Cliff Kingsbury, and 125 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: Cliff didn't want to be part of it. Actually he 126 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: was the part where Cliff was not sitting there as 127 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: a former teammate, and Wolf brought it up. You know, 128 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: if you would have had some GODSI would have brought 129 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: it up when Cliff was actually sitting there. But does 130 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: that is that a sign? Or all these things combined, 131 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: all these first time occurrences for Tom Brady, does that 132 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: tell him something that this is the end? When these 133 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: things are happening, historic happenings for the first time in 134 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: more than two decades, isn't that a sign? You know 135 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: what the football gods are telling me? This might be 136 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: the end. I'm trying to decide how I want to 137 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: say this. But if if everything that seemed like it 138 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: happened preceding his personal life and his divorce happened to 139 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: come back this season, I don't know why. Now is 140 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: the time, you're gonna walk away from it, right, I mean, 141 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: you pretty much pushed all your chips into being an 142 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: NFL player. I don't think he's gonna want to end 143 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: this way either out It's true, that is true. I'm 144 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: just saying, although Larry Fitzgerald didn't have the greatest ending 145 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: to his career walking off the field and sits at 146 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: the LA RAM, You're right. But I always felt like 147 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: as much as Larry loved the game, and he did, 148 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: there's something about Tom Brady who that guy. That guy 149 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: is almost feels like he's going to fade to nothing 150 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: if he doesn't get to play football, Whereas fitz had 151 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 1: so many other things in his head that he wanted 152 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: to do well. I did ask Cliff during his TV 153 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: show that year you spend in the same quarterback room 154 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady, is there anything that you can pass 155 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: along to your current qbs? And he just said the 156 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: utter commitment that Tom Brady made to football everything every day, virtually, 157 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: every moment all offseason, all committed to being the best 158 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: football player he can be. I just I just read 159 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: a story. I was trying to do some research and 160 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: I saw a story that Cliff brought up a couple 161 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: of years ago on a podcast where they were they 162 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: were a wedding of a friend at some The way 163 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: Cliff described it on the podcast was it was like 164 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: a beach resort that was basically like an adult candyland, 165 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: is what he called it. And many of the people 166 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: the day before the wedding, including Cliff and Tom, apparently 167 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: enjoyed themselves quite a bit. In the evening, it had 168 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: quite a bit to drink. Now, Cliff still got up 169 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: in the morning, but he was kind of like, okay, 170 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: So he decides to grab a golf cart to kind 171 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: of drive around see what's around. And he's driving past 172 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: the beach at like seven thirty in the morning and 173 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is out there with an assistant going through 174 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: a full workout. And when Cliff saw him at seven thirty, 175 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,119 Speaker 1: Tom was already drenched in sweat doing like these resistance 176 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: bands workouts, and they had both been up late and 177 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: do it and it's yeah, I'm like, man's that's committed. 178 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: That's the point zero zero. I know Danny works out 179 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: like that, but the rest of us for going drink 180 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: and it doesn't happen. I mean that's so let me 181 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: ask you when you guys watch Hard Knocks in the 182 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: last episode. It was the last episode right where Cliff's 183 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: driving into work at three something in the morning. Yes, 184 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: and he's lamenting that maybe he didn't put everything he 185 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: had into his playing career and he was certain not 186 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: to make the same mistake twice in what he called 187 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: the second phase of his career, meaning coaching. How much 188 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: of that do you think maybe he gleaned from Tom 189 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: Brady and once his playing career was over he regretted 190 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: it that much more because gus what he had a 191 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: guy as a teammate that he easily could have followed 192 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: his lead in a lot of ways, right. I would 193 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: imagine though that even if you're taking note from somebody 194 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady, nobody can really do it like Tom Brady. 195 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: But that was a really interesting note of I think 196 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: maybe why we had heard stories about how early Cliff 197 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: gets the facility, how late he stays, and it's kind 198 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: it was something we don't really hear from him. A 199 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: lot of kind of opening up as to why that's 200 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: the case. In trying to that this second phase that 201 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: he talked about and not make those same mistakes he 202 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: did as a player. Do you guys, Like in that 203 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: press conference after that episode, when I asked him, I said, 204 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: do you really get here at three fifteen in the 205 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: morning every day? And he kind of smirked and said, 206 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: you want to come here for a week and see 207 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: if I really show up at that time. I do not. 208 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: I take your word for it. The worst, the most 209 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: godly part about that is he doesn't use the snooze alarm. 210 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: That's that's just clinically insane, wathlogical. It goes off at three. 211 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: You don't hit snooze at least one least a minimum twice. 212 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: For me, I sent my alarm earlier knowing that I 213 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: can snooze and get up when I really wanted. What's 214 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: the what's the point of that? Because then I can 215 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: just kind of be in like a lighter sleep and 216 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: it can be easier to get up. I never ever 217 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: ever used the snooze It's funny, darn Darren's on the 218 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: outside of this one, Danny, because I hit it twice 219 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: as well. The first one is denied that it went off, 220 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: and then the second one is you need ten minutes 221 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: to cope, yes, yeah, to actually get your set. That's like, 222 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: that's like people who set their clocks five minutes fast. 223 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: So they got that's what's the same, you know, that's 224 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: what Kyle Deroni in our department, one of our videographers, 225 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: doesn't do his car. He's from New Jersey. His car 226 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: time is still set to East Coast. That way, when 227 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: he gets in his car and he's driving to and 228 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: from work, which is what he likes to talk to 229 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: his family. Okay, he knows what time it is. And 230 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: I said, well, why would you just why would he 231 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: just have the time for where you are and add 232 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: the time difference, And he was like, no, this just 233 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: is easier for me. I will say that I kind 234 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: of understand that a little bit better. But but what 235 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: you understand that better than a snooze alarm? Well, yeah, again, 236 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: I don't understand. You know, I'm starts. We're getting way 237 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: off topic here, but I have a big problem. My 238 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: older son was having issues getting up in the morning 239 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: quite a bit at one point, and he's got three 240 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: alarm set and I'm like, dude, get your ass out 241 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: of bed when they alarm goes off. Just I'm a 242 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: friendly reminder it's time to get out of bed. Don't 243 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: take this the wrong way, son, that's right, So no offense, 244 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: but people who used the snooze alarm, right, So anyway, dumb, Yeah, 245 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. I will say we can get on this, 246 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: Cliff if we go back to the COVID year, Danny, 247 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: I'll save you having to get up at three in 248 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: the morning and be out here all week. The COVID 249 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: year when I was doing morning radio and I had 250 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: to be at the station at five am ish, so 251 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: I would get here around four twenty four thirty ish, 252 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: and Cliff was here. He was already here is I 253 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: don't know what time he gets in, but he's in 254 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: there working out. And there was one car in the 255 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: entire parking lot, the entire facility, and it was his rig. 256 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: Put it that way. Wait a minute, why were you here? 257 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: Because I did I had to do early testing. Remember 258 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: we're doing testing on a daily basis twenty the COVID year, 259 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: and i'd have to come that. I forgot. I'd do 260 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: that first out out of my memory before I went in. 261 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: I forgot about the test. Not cool. So uh, anyway, 262 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: getting back to the whole quarterback dynamic, here's yeah, where's 263 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: here's my fear. Here's my fear before I actually take 264 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: blame for the quarterback situation that we're going to see 265 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: on Sunday night, on Christmas Night. My fear is that, Okay, 266 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: if you have Kyler, let's go, let's ball, let's play. 267 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: If you have Coult McCoy, hey in twelve, we trust. 268 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: I believe that's the sentiment in that locker room. I 269 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: think you guys agree there's a lot of confidence belief 270 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: in Colt McCoy. What is the belief level the other 271 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: fifty two guys on that roster in the current quarterback situation? 272 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: And to me, that becomes an X factor, that becomes 273 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: a wild card on Sunday night in this game because 274 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: in some ways it hearkens back to where the Cardinals 275 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: were between Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer and 276 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. We're urcoy knew what you were going to 277 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: get from the rest of the team, because there has 278 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: to be that underlying confidence and belief that you have 279 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback to lead the team. And then the subset 280 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: out of that is if you get down by ten 281 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: points or more, do the guys strug their shoulder pads 282 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: and say, you know what, that's it. We're done. This 283 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: is interesting because of course when you talk to players 284 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: and coaches, they're going to tell you they have confidence 285 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: in Trace McSorley, and that's all you really can't have 286 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: at this point, as you're trusting that he's doing the 287 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: work and he's going to be as prepared as he can. 288 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: What's hard is that I really don't think you know 289 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: what you have in him, even just from practices or 290 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: preseason games. I mean, we saw how different the team 291 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: looks from preseason to win that first game against the Chiefs, like, 292 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: and that was so long ago. I think it's so 293 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: hard to know what you really have in Trace. I 294 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: think you know that it's very different than Kyler Murray 295 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: and Colt McCoy, not only the physical attributes of Kyler 296 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: in the arm and the legs, but when it looks 297 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: at when you look at what coulp rings, the knowledge 298 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: and the understanding and the patience and being quick and decisive, 299 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: and I just it's possible. I mean you look around 300 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: the league. Brock Party is a great example of somebody 301 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: who you probably didn't expect to come out him play 302 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: the way he has when it was time for him 303 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: to step up. So there's a chance that Trace could 304 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: come in. I don't know how much of the second 305 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: half against the Bronchos was just on Trace McSorley or 306 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: just the fact that the Cardinals weren't having a good 307 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: game to begin with, even with Colt McCoy. But I 308 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: think that it's going to be very interesting. I don't 309 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: think you can expect to have like that true leadership 310 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: or anything like that, just because I think he's going 311 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: to be focused on so many other things in his 312 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: first career start that other players, other veterans are really 313 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: going to have to step up and make sure everybody 314 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: is maintaining their composure and confidence in each other. I 315 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: don't want to. I mean, Trace McSorley is a guy 316 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: that I'm kind of excited to see what he would 317 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: look like with a week of practice, But he's a 318 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: third string quarterback. We've been through this before, Paul. We 319 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: have seen what happens. We just did a folk tales 320 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: on Jay Feely when he beat the Bronchos and that 321 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: was John Skelton's first start, and uh, they won that game, 322 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: probably in spite of kind of how John Skelton played, 323 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: you know, and or Ryan Linley playing down the stretch 324 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. I mean, there's a reason these guys 325 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: are third string quarterbacks. And I'm not you know, everybody's 326 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: got a role to play, but that's that's where we are. 327 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: And and I just I don't, I don't know what 328 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: you I think a lot gets put on the defense 329 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: in that regard. And you know, playing a Buccaneers team 330 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: that is desperate, that's a that's a tough that's a 331 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: tough ask. You know, you're gonna have a Trace McSorley 332 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: game plan in Okay, You're gonna game plan accordingly for 333 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: his skill set in the style of quarterback he is. 334 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: Would you say there's a bigger difference in quarterbacks style 335 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: and skill set going from Colt to Trace McSorley versus 336 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: going from Kyler to Colt, because Trace and Cole are 337 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: two vastly different quarterbacks. To Danny's point, just the experience 338 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: alone and the ability to read and react and make 339 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: decisive quick please see what you're saying, And the fact 340 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: that he really is more of an athletic running quarterback. 341 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: That's what he was at Penn State, that dual threat. 342 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: He's not the guy who's you can expect to sit 343 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: in the pocket and diagnose a defense and go through 344 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: his reads. Right. Well, I mean it's gonna First of all, 345 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: you're you're hoping, yeah, I mean it's gonna be different. 346 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: You're hoping he can do some of those things. I mean, 347 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: he's been in the league a couple three years. I mean, 348 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: you're you're hoping you can be at that point. But again, 349 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: all that gets put into why a guy is a 350 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: third string quarterback and why he was on the practice 351 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: squad for part of this year, and why he was 352 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: on the practice squad of the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, 353 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: if he was doing some of those other things, then 354 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: maybe he would have moved up. And I am curious 355 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: to know how it will play out. And again, with 356 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: a third string quarterback, do you want him running as much? Well, 357 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: I will say this, the play call on third and 358 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: one at your thirty four or Colt got in jured, 359 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: that was a that was a trace mcslorley play call 360 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: to me. I mean, do you guys, Look, it was 361 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: after the game. But after processing that whole moment down 362 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: in the field, I'll be honest with that came back 363 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: to the question, why has Colt put in that situation? 364 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: In the first place. Okay, I'm glad you're bringing that up. 365 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about that. Let's talk about that. I 366 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: understand the people that have an issue with that play call. 367 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: I suppose Cliff Kingsbury. I asked Cliff Kingsbury about that. 368 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,479 Speaker 1: He said the idea was to give it to James Connor. 369 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: Now watching the playback, if he gives it to James Connor, 370 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: he's probably tackled for like a one yard loss because 371 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: that linebacker crashed because he wasn't expecting Cold to run either. 372 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: I get that. I understand that, And maybe you could 373 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: call a different running play where it was straight James Connor. 374 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: I understand that part. But for that play, okay, it worked. 375 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: And I guess I'm a little confus used why you 376 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: think you would run that for Trace McSorley but not 377 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: for Colt McCoy, that particular play trying to get one yard, Well, 378 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: that's not about that's not about getting an open space 379 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: and going a new place twofold. I mean, Trace is 380 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: an experienced running quarterback who is accustomed to taking hits. 381 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: But and this is a tough thing to say the 382 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: value of a Trace McSorley is far below that of 383 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: a Cole McCoy. It's one thing to go from Kyler 384 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: to Colt. It's another thing when cold is in and 385 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: then the drop off and the next quarterback or two 386 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: on your roster is severe. I guess at that point 387 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: the risk reward is so lopsided towards the danger factor. 388 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: To me, I just I'm like, why risk twelve in 389 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: that situation? Colt McCoy, I get now to your point. 390 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: You're right, it was a fluke and the way it happened, 391 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: and I just don't think we're having any of these 392 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: conversations if he hadn't gotten hurt on their play. And 393 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: that's the thing that bothers me once again. It's that 394 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: risk reward factor on it that just makes me wonder. 395 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: And you know, but look, that's that's either here nor 396 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: there for now. Are we're gonna see Cole McCoy this week? 397 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: Based on what the Broncos did with Russell Wilson, I'm 398 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: guessing not even if he does pass concussion protocol, you 399 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: are on the side of caution, a phrase that Cliff 400 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: Kingsbury is already used. And you saw what the Broncos 401 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: did with Russell Wilson. We'll see if that's indeed the 402 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: case with Cole McCoy. If not, it's David Blow is right, 403 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: is the other quarterback now behind Trace McSorley. I've yet 404 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: to do my requisite prep on David Blow. How about you, Danny? 405 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: What do we know? Not much, at least for me. 406 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: I mean, he was in Detroit, he was on Hard Knocks, 407 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: he was one of the starlines. Wasn't that his wife? 408 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: His wife then for Columbia, right, I believe so that 409 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: was a cool video. That was great video. Right, she 410 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: qualified for the Olympics meeting room and he's jumping up 411 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: and down like he's running the race himself. That was 412 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: really good stuff. I mean, Cliff Cliff Kingsbury said that 413 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: he remember him from when Cliff was at Tech, and 414 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: even then he was a smart quarterback. And I think 415 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: at this point it's just kind of what's available. I've 416 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: said this a million times, and this even included once 417 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: Kyler went down. If you don't have your starting quart 418 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: first of all, not every team has a good starting quarterback. 419 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: Even if you have a good starting quarterback, once you 420 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: go to your backup for most teams, that's a huge 421 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: red flag. And we are now down to number three 422 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: and we're talking right now about number four. That's who's 423 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 1: been on the team for a week less than at 424 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: this point, less than a week, alright, so motivation. Then 425 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: James Connor was asked that question. It was something longline, 426 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: so the media members said what can be gained over 427 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: these final three games? And James Conner pause and I 428 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: liked his response, quote some respect end quote. I liked 429 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: hearing that. You know, look, it's it's it's not just 430 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: about going out there and fulfilling your contract or earning 431 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: that next incentive. JJ Watt Hell all, we'll get to 432 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: that in a minute. You know, Yeah, it's about trying 433 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: to earn some respect. Just win your own battles out 434 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: on that field. Especially when it's going to be on 435 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: national TV. You're gonna have a captive viewing audience. I'm 436 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: going to presume a huge viewing audience based on last 437 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: year and the Cardinals game against the Colts. That were big, 438 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: big numbers. People sitting around on Christmas night watching football. 439 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: So guess what you go out there, You try and 440 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: represent if nothing else, you know, in the name on 441 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: the back of your jersey, since the name on the 442 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: front's been eliminated from the playoffs, and we'll see what happens. 443 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: You know, based on based on where the Buccaneers left 444 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: off in their last game against the Bengals, where they 445 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: blew that lead and in the second half Tom Brady 446 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: went pick fumble, fumble, pick four straight possessions with four 447 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: straight turnovers, and the Buccaneers ended up losing a miserable 448 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: game at home against the Bengals. Thirty four twenty three. 449 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: There's six and eight and they have a one game 450 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: lead in the division. In the NFC South over all, 451 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: three of the other teams, Atlanta, New Orleans and Carolina 452 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: all five and eight. And by the way, the Cardinals 453 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: finished the season actually second last game at Atlanta then 454 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. So yeah, I mean there's obviously 455 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: a disparity in motivation because the Buccaneers right now have 456 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: a one game lead to win the division and host 457 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: a playoff game. Can you match that if you're the Cardinals. 458 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: It's unfortunate the situation the Cardinals find themselves in for 459 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: the final three games. I think if you had a 460 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: healthy team, I do think that motivation could be there. 461 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: And maybe I'm wrong, maybe because you don't have so 462 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: many of your starters out there, and you have second 463 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: and third string players out there, maybe they do have 464 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: more motivation to show what they can really do. James 465 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: Connor has been very vocal we've seen on Hard Knocks 466 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: in the locker room talking about how it's about being 467 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: the type of man that you want to be. It's 468 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: about being a professional, and you can't do anything about 469 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: the situation you're in at this point. You have to 470 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: go out and you have to play, and you really 471 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: have to play for your job because it's not just 472 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: you know, everyone's watching your film, whether you're going to 473 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: be a Cardinal next year or not. Everyone is playing 474 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 1: and coaching for their jobs. So there is still something 475 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: to play for, even if it might feel little more selfish. 476 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: But as a team, you want to try and finish 477 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: strong and that that goes to the respect that he 478 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: was talking about motivation. I mean, the Bucks, I would 479 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: say have more motivation because they are trying to secure 480 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: that number one spot in their division. But it doesn't 481 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: necessarily mean that, even though it looks different, the Cardinals 482 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: have nothing to play for. It's just not the playoffs. Yeah, 483 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: I mean, can you eliminate these these mental errors and 484 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: when I say mental errors, you had yet another illegal shift. 485 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: You had illegal formation at Denver. You know, the turnover 486 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: ratio has not been good over the last four games. 487 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: Cardinals have been negative six over the last four games, 488 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: when the first ten games of the year they were 489 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: plus five and they've had what three turnovers overturned? Yeah, yeah, 490 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean they don't count. But I'm just saying if 491 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: Craig Grigolew was here, he'd have the answer to that, 492 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 1: but he's not. All I know is the Cardinals on 493 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: those negative six, they've lost that turnover battle thirty five 494 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: to six the opponent, and so they've outscored him in 495 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: that categor So, yeah, that's south. Cliff Kingsbury can rightfully 496 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: after the games start with losing the turnover battle and 497 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: then cite some of the MS. And I think he 498 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: has a conversation last week and you've been having a 499 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: week after week and once again it's a first system problem. 500 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: What do you do about that? Look, there will be 501 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: blood to some degree, there's gonna be roster turnover. You 502 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: have no idea if there's going to be a coaching 503 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: turnover at this point, but that obviously has to be addressed. 504 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: In the off season. Does it come back to accountability 505 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: something that Cliff brought up himself and hard knocks after 506 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: the New England game on Monday night in his postgame 507 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: message to the team. I don't know, but it keeps 508 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: on occurring, and it really is whack a mole and 509 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: a lot of things. It's different guys at different times 510 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: making different errors, and so it's impossible to just go 511 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: ahead and precisely target one thing or one person or 512 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: one group of players because it's different things at different times. 513 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: But then you get back to the injuries, and this 514 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: is what makes it difficult, at least to me to 515 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: diagnose and discern, is when you're up to nearly eighty 516 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: different players and you're probably looking at your eleventh different 517 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: starting offensive line. And Billy Price was talking in the 518 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: media and it was pretty blunt, honest and saying, yeah, 519 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: when I have different guards on either side of me, 520 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: and the difference in making a block or not is 521 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: a few inches of getting leverage on a guy and 522 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: getting to the spot and beating them there. But you're 523 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: kind of going in slow motion or in some cases 524 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: when your fellow alignment steps on your foot for a 525 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: millisecond and now that this is all things that are 526 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: hashed out in camp and you're getting you don't have 527 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: any of that when you're literally playing and you go 528 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: into a game like coming off the New England game 529 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: in Monday night, and you had two glorified walkthroughs in 530 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: a Friday practice, So how are you supposed to rep 531 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: any full pads that's not happening in December. All of 532 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: that is true, and all of that is right. And again, 533 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: if you had built yourself a five and two record 534 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: before that started happening, then maybe you have some arguments. 535 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: But the problem is that this season has never really 536 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: gotten off the ground, even before all the injuries started 537 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 1: piling up. And I know there was a lot of 538 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: stuff involved there, but look, this has been a rough year. 539 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: I've been covering this team full time since two thousand. 540 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: I've never been around anything like it. They I've been 541 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: around some bad teams. I don't think this team is 542 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: roster wise as bad as a couple of the ones 543 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: that I covered. I've been around some bad seasons. There 544 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: have been worse on field seasons, believe it or not. 545 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: But but again, when you add in everything else, when 546 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: you add in all the off field stuff when you 547 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: add in some of the things that should have happened, 548 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: and you add in what was expected, you know, and 549 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: that and that's part of the problem, you know. I 550 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: heard on Arizona Sports there was some conversation of whether 551 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: this was the most disappointing season. I forget which one 552 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: that they had come up with, but I keep coming 553 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: back to twenty sixteen. I would agree the year after 554 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship, where Sports Illustrated picked them to win 555 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and then they were under five hundred. 556 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: And that's what it feels like. And this obviously is 557 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: much worse. But in terms of what you're expecting, I 558 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: feel like that's that's where it kind of lands. Here's 559 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: the question you mentioned, the five letter S word stuff, 560 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: everything that's been happening in twenty twenty two and basically 561 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: since the start of January. Yeah, that's what I was 562 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: thinking in my head, is the timeline of It's not 563 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: just football stuff. There's plenty of teams around the league 564 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: that I've been dealing with football drama, drama, and Vance 565 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: Joseph's cited four to six weeks ago one of his 566 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: press conferences, just everything that happened the offseason and he 567 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: sort of let it trail off. And here's the question 568 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: I asked Cliff Kingsbury on his TV show this week. 569 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: You tell me if there's a fair question or not, 570 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: I said. Coach James Conner was asked about the steady 571 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: stream and non football headlines all year long. How much 572 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: can they off the field stuff impact the on field product? 573 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean it's a factor. It's got to be absolutely, 574 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: got to be a factor, the amount of stuff that 575 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: they have dealt with. Absolutely, And he had a great answer. 576 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: He looked at Wolf and he said, Wolf, you've played 577 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: for Belichick before. What does he despise the most? And 578 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: in unison they both said distractions. So just the steady 579 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: stream of stuff which becomes distracting to a team. And 580 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: maybe their focus is that, in some reason the foundation 581 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: of all the different issues and on field, you know, 582 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: the mental airs, the penalties. Then I don't know. I 583 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: don't know is the team not properly locked in and focused. 584 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: I think we'd all agree and say yes to a 585 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 1: certain degree, especially at certain times. How much of that 586 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: has to do can you attribute to the off the 587 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: field stuff? I would think it's fair to say that 588 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: that would probably play a large role in that. I 589 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: think even going back to the beginning of the season, 590 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: after the Chiefs game, when we were already hearing about 591 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: needing better practice habits, and by that point there had 592 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: already been so much that have been happening in the headlines, yes, 593 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: since the started the calendar year, but even in the 594 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: prior month leading up to that. I don't know how 595 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: much I really fault the players. Now it is their 596 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: job to tune that out into focus and do your job, 597 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: and I understand that. And we don't need to go 598 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,479 Speaker 1: through the timeline, because if you're listening to this episode 599 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: of Cardinals on the Ground, chances are you, yes, chances 600 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: are you've been listening to this podcast since everything started 601 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: happening in January February, with contracts and extensions and off 602 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: the field issues and suspensions, And I just think at 603 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: some point, like these players are people, and not only 604 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: being distracted from maybe what you're seeing on TV or 605 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: online or in the paper, but seeing the guys around 606 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: you and locker room not be there or in and 607 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: out with injuries or coaches that you have been working 608 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: with no longer in the building. I mean, those are 609 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: things that no matter how professional you are, no matter 610 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: how many years you've been in the league, still going 611 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: to affect you and going to affect your day to 612 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: day process. Well, And I would also argue too, because 613 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: I know sometimes it's like, well, why is the media 614 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: talking so much about this or that? And the problem 615 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: is is ultimately those on the inside already know all 616 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 1: of this. So if it's going to be a distract, 617 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a distraction just because they get 618 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: asked about it or it's already there. Like the coach thing, 619 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: even if that had never gone out that people and 620 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: people talked about missing coaches. That's going to impact your team, no, 621 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: And you know what, in those roles, you're supposed to 622 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: be a leader. It's in your job description. So when 623 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: the older, more accomplished employees right who are supposed to 624 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: be leaders of the younger generation are failing in that regard, 625 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: I think it becomes even more problematic and distracting. Perhaps 626 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: and or maybe even some of the players resent the 627 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: fact that maybe they're buttoned up in their job and 628 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: those leading them are not. That's possible. So look, that's 629 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: the off the field stuff. As we had zoom out 630 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: and look back at this season on the field. You know, 631 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: I think there are two big mistakes that I find confounding, 632 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: especially about this roster, and I'll just throw them out there. 633 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: You guys can agree or disagree, and I know you will. 634 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: Number one, edge rusher, you obviously obviously should have had 635 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: a proven edge rusher on this roster, at least beyond 636 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: what's currently or was on the roster to start the season. 637 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: And then number two. I would say, in hindsight, the 638 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: center position I think easily could have known at the 639 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: very least Ronnie Hutson was a legitimate, serious, significant question 640 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: mark this year or whatever reason, a multitude of reasons. 641 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: And you know, in hindsight, I think that that center position. 642 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: It's funny when we start going down the list, and 643 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: unfortunately there's been so many things that have happened that 644 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: every once in a while, like at some point I 645 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: can't remember if I was talking to you, Danny, or 646 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: if it was Crag or it was the three of 647 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: us or whatever we were having some conversation, or somebody 648 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,919 Speaker 1: had brought up the list. I had completely forgot about 649 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: JJ Watt's heart situation. That was a big one. The 650 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: Hudson thing is just striking. I mean, like that happened 651 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: long enough ago that I'm like, you forget about it. 652 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: But that was a huge deal because it changed a 653 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: lot of what happened in the offseason. And obviously that 654 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: that did not turn out the way the Cardinals had hoped, 655 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 1: clearly because I don't he was in there so little 656 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: and got so little practice time that it just it 657 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: didn't work out. And obviously he's not coming back this season. 658 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: So look, there's all that. We'll see where the team 659 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: goes from here. I mean, am I missing anything? You know? 660 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: In hindsight, so much of this you couldn't forecast, and 661 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: it's difficult to prepare. Like you said, Darren, you're lucky 662 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: if you have a backup quarterback, much less a third 663 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: string quarterback. You've gone through more than a dozen offensive linemen. 664 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you can only be so deep. But there 665 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: are a couple areas that you saw on the horizon 666 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: once again, that probably should have been short up before 667 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 1: this season ever began. Edge rusher, center, ay, missing anything else. Corner. 668 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: As it turned out, wasn't nearly the liability. I think 669 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: we all thought it would be at least win healthy. 670 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: What you had on paper was definitely capable. That wasn't 671 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: as big a liability as you thought going into the year. 672 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: So back, I don't even think it's that if you 673 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: get Byron Murphy on a contract, I don't think it's 674 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: nearly as big a need as three or four other 675 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: areas when you go into the draft in the offseason. No, 676 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: I agree, and I know we're gonna have plenty of 677 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: shows to go into that. I do think that cornerback, 678 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: I think your only problem is maybe depth from what 679 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: you've seen with players not being healthy. But I think 680 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: despite not having that pass rush, I think you have 681 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 1: seen what you needed to see out of JJ Watt 682 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: and Zach Allen to kind of counter that and to 683 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: have at least somewhat I don't know if an attack, 684 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: but you know, I feel like they've put up good 685 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: numbers when it comes to quarterback hits or pressures or 686 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: things of that nature. It's just unfortunate that they've got 687 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: more of those than you're outside linebackers, and your most 688 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: productive outside linebacker, if you're going to look at the numbers, 689 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: which it's obviously more than just a number, it's has 690 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: been what Maji Sanders, your rookie who was an actor 691 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: for the first four or five games of the season. Yeah, 692 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: it's it's funny that you bring I mean, I agree. 693 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: I think j JJ Watts played fantastic this season, and 694 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: he had an at least in unbelievable first half in 695 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,240 Speaker 1: Denver before Denver started running every play. And Zach Allen's 696 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: been great. And you're talking about two guys that you 697 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to be on the team 698 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: next year because they're free agents to be And you know, 699 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: I think I think you mentioned Bayern Murphy get him 700 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: on a contract. I think you need to get j. J. 701 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: Watt under contract or Zach Allen I'm sorry, Zach Allen 702 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: under contract. And I think that's really important. And you know, 703 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: the JJ thing is an interesting thing. He's having a 704 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: great year. He's finally healthy, he's got nine and a 705 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: half sacks. I think he's driving because he knows he 706 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: can get maybe one more big contract somewhere. He said. 707 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: I loved what he said in the locker room and 708 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: Denver and you were there, Paul. I think actually you 709 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: were there too, Danny when he was talking about how 710 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: you know it sucks, but I you know the reality 711 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: and I told all these guys. Is you're playing for 712 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: what you mentioned before. You're playing for jobs, you're playing 713 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: for pride, you're playing for professionalism, even if you're not 714 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: playing for games that will where wins would actually mean 715 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: something in the standings. But again, if you're JJ Watt 716 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: and you're whatever you are, thirty three, I forget how 717 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: old he is right now? You know, are you gonna 718 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: want to be in a situation where you're starting over 719 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: with a new coach potentially or at least rebuilding this roster. 720 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: You know, I would think he'd want to go to 721 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: a situation. He picked this situation because he thought this 722 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: team was on the upswing, and they were when he signed, 723 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: and it worked out well for a while there, and 724 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: then he got hurt and everything fell apart, and it's 725 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: just not good right now. I mean, if you're going 726 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 1: to start with a brand new head coach, if that's 727 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: the direction the Cardinals are going, then you could easily 728 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: do that with another team as well. So that's one 729 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: of the great benefits of staying with your current team. 730 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: Obviously you don't have to learn a new playbook. But 731 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: if that's already gonna they're gonna hit the reset button. 732 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: That regard, then all of a sudden, you might just 733 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: open it up to thirty one other teams. Why not 734 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: at that point We'll see, We'll see. I did have 735 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: to shut down a buddy of mine and was like, well, Paul, 736 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: if you're going to rebuild this team or this team 737 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: now is a couple of years away again from contending, 738 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 1: why would you put big money towards, you know, a 739 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: JJ Watt or another older free agent defensive lineman. They 740 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,959 Speaker 1: failed in the past of that. I'm like, whoa hold 741 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: it there, Bob, don't put JJ Watton in the same 742 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: category as a Jordan Phillips. Okay, let's not do that. 743 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: JJ makes everyone better around him, and he is a 744 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: big voice of leadership and reason and motivation in the 745 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: locker room. He benefits more than just himself in that 746 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 1: locker room and does lead by examples. So you know, 747 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: that's something obviously the Cardinals value. It's akin to bringing 748 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: back James Connor. You know they really thought, or Kelvin Beacham. 749 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: There's so much more beyond the scenes a typical fan 750 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: would never see as to their value and benefit to 751 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: a locker room and the team. Yeah. Absolutely, I think 752 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: that's also shown if you didn't already know it through 753 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,919 Speaker 1: hard knocks and seeing how JJ practices and the way 754 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: that he is teaching and motivating not only players on defense, 755 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: but with Rondel Moore when he had that practice and 756 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: he had dropped a ball and Rondale was kind of 757 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: down on himself and JJ went over him and said, 758 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: do you know how many times I haven't kicked on 759 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: my ass? Like? You get back up? You make it 760 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: in practice, don't do it on a Sunday. He brings 761 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: so much more to the table. And I think that's 762 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the veterans that the Cardinals did bring 763 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: back this year. I think you could think that same 764 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: about zach Ertz and in the tight end room. And 765 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: there's definitely going to be decisions at have to be made, 766 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: and from both sides of not just what's best for 767 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: the team, but from a player's perspective of where they 768 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: see their career going, where they feel like the best 769 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: fitness for them to finish out their career. It's look, 770 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: we don't know what's ahead of us, but I can 771 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: guarantee you it will be a very busy offseason. I'm 772 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: about that eventful. I mean, you're not all these people 773 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: are going to have to all these free agents, and 774 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: this team is going to are all gonna have to 775 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: make decisions and moves not knowing what the quarterback situation 776 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: is when that season starts next year, because it's just 777 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: going to be too early in the process. Which, speaking of, sorry, 778 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 1: did you see you want to get a new alert 779 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: while recording that for those curious talking about quarterbacks. Hopefully 780 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't going to come down to this quarterback update, 781 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: dess your WeGo, Danny. The Cardinals announced they have signed 782 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: quarterback James Morgan to the practice squad and released Carson 783 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: strong We barely knew you, Carson strong Man. Okay, Morgan 784 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,839 Speaker 1: was a fourth round pick overall to the Jets in 785 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. So these moves are being made right now? 786 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: Am I correct to presume that these are direct maneuvers 787 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: by Quentin Harris and or Adrian Wilson? Yeah? Who else 788 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,760 Speaker 1: would yeah? I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, okay, 789 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: maybe I'm captain obvious over here, but you know, along 790 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: with Captain Morgan named Captain James Morgan. I'm sorry, no, 791 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. So basically, these two have about a 792 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: month or so to prove themselves. So if there's churning 793 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: of the roster, then this is sort of either a 794 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: on the job training being a decision maker with these 795 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: sort of final roster decisions, and or a bit of 796 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: an audition. Right. Well, here's the thing, we don't know 797 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: the exact process of how this would have worked in 798 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,240 Speaker 1: the first place. I mean, again, we're talking about Adrian Wilson, 799 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: VP of Pro Personnel, Quentin Harris, VP of Player Personnel. 800 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 1: For all we know a move like this, a practice 801 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 1: squad move like this that would have been under their 802 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: purview all of the long and would have gone to 803 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: Steven says, hey, we're switching out these guys on the 804 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: on the practice squad. Okay, I don't know that. But 805 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: by the way, Dan, it's a difference between me and Darren. 806 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to look down at a sheet to 807 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 1: figure out which guy is the VP of Pro Personnel 808 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 1: and which guy is the VP of Player Personnel. See, 809 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: I actually have to refer to my cheat sheet for that. 810 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,720 Speaker 1: But Darren Boom, we just got that at his disposal, 811 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 1: it his own recall right there. It's impressive for those 812 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: who uh you know, aren't aren't privy to be able 813 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: to see that. I can't. I can't remember a bunch 814 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: of names in my family, but I can't remember stuff 815 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I can't remember the neighbor's name every 816 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: time you see him in the mailbox. But hey you yeah, yeah, exactly. 817 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: So all right, well, I mean, you know, it's just, uh, 818 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, you know, I don't know how many moves, 819 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,919 Speaker 1: many more moves could be made. Are they being made 820 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 1: for the sake of being may to you know, try 821 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: and see what they can come up with here? And 822 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: it's you know, and look, right now, the Cardinals are 823 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:12,760 Speaker 1: tracking towards a top five draft picky. And the loss 824 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: against the Broncos was something actually the Seahawks hated to 825 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: see because the Seahawks went into that game with the 826 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: number two pick overall because they owned Denver's pick. They 827 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,959 Speaker 1: own their first two picks, first and second round pick, 828 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: and they own their first and second round pick next 829 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: year as well. I believe all from the Russell Wilson training, 830 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 1: it's just an absolute haul. And so right now, the Cardinals, 831 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: depending on how this season plays out, one of those 832 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,320 Speaker 1: things you keep an eye on is are the Cardinals 833 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,359 Speaker 1: going to be ahead or behind a Denver's pick because 834 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: that pick belongs to Seattle. So for example, if you 835 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,839 Speaker 1: end up, oh, I don't know what the number two 836 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. If you figure Bryce Young is 837 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: going one overall, Cardinals could have their selection between a 838 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, the defensive wrecking ball of alignment for Georgia, 839 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 1: or Will Anderson, the outside edge guy for Alabama. So fact, 840 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: Dave Pash, we're tasking you with that. You're calling an 841 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 1: Alabama Bowl game whatever it is, a Sugar Bowl coming up, 842 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,720 Speaker 1: you need to get a scouting report on Will Anderson, 843 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: that edge rusher for Alabama, because he could be the 844 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: number two pick over all of the Arizona Cardinals. Very feasible. 845 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 1: We'll see, Oh goody. Draft talk in December. My favorite, 846 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,439 Speaker 1: Well that's you know that. Don't blame us, Darren. Wait 847 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: a minute, let's go back to the what it's the phraseology. 848 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: You know, no fence. I mean, you know, Darren, if 849 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: that's what you want to do, so I know what 850 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: to say when I talk to Darren. Please, once again, 851 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: it's just a friendly reminder, no avoid that they say, 852 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: don't take this the wrong that. Yeah, and then you know, 853 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 1: if you get the response from someone got it? Okay, 854 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: I can mean any variety of things depending on the 855 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 1: snark and sarcastic factor involved there. And then there's the 856 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 1: the other one, if that's what you want to do. 857 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 1: There's the just so you know, or for future reference 858 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: dot dot dot when you when you read that, when 859 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: you read sorry, I lost my headphones there for a minute, 860 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: when you read that off the first time, almost set 861 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: a text over here saying I use that for future 862 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: reference thing all the time in my email. So Holmes 863 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: that you're just signaling incoming when you're doing that. That's 864 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 1: basically what you're doing over there, all right? Anything else 865 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 1: here in the others receiving vote section of this power 866 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: pole of a. By the way, if you want some 867 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 1: further motivation right now, the NFL power rankings? Oh boy, 868 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: uh not kind? Why are we doing power rankings at 869 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: this I guess you don't want to know? Then? Now 870 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: we don't we already know two and cults are thirty one. 871 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: We won't tell you who's thirty. Great, Okay, that'll do it. Well, 872 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 1: do you guys have Do you guys have all your 873 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: shopping down for Christmas? Absolutely? Not? Y did you do 874 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: any shopping, That's what I thought. I mean, I did 875 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: a little bit, but my wife took care most of it. 876 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: I just had to worry about getting stuff for her, 877 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: which is usually how it works. I outsourced it to 878 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 1: the kids so far, and they'll fail miserably, and then 879 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: forty eight hours out I'll have to take over and 880 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: run the no huddle at the very end, a little 881 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,439 Speaker 1: two minute offense, and we'll get it done right before 882 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,200 Speaker 1: the deadline. Danny, I think that's the way the game 883 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: plan is going to involve. What about you? No, I 884 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 1: mean no, you're not done, or no, you don't have 885 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 1: anything left to do. I'm kind of like when it 886 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: comes like like we celebrate Hanaka and we're just kind 887 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: of at the point where like we don't my siblings 888 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: and I go in and get like gifts from my parents, 889 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: and at this point, one of my sisters and I 890 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: go in for a gift for my nephew, and we 891 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,759 Speaker 1: just kind of don't really like give gifts to each other. 892 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 1: We do birthday gifts and things like that, but it's 893 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 1: not not a big Just being around you and hearing 894 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: from you is gift enough for you. Well, they're not 895 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: around me, so yeah, FaceTime. Yeah, my one brother insisted 896 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 1: on Secret Santa among all the I'm like, okay, so, 897 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: and there's a money limit on Secret Santah. Of course 898 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 1: you're not going to go below. You're gonna mac out 899 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: the money limit on the Secret Center, right, But inevitably 900 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,840 Speaker 1: you end up changing gift cards. So everyone trades a 901 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: gift card and it's a complete wash. And I'm trying 902 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 1: to see the exact point of that, but I guess 903 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 1: it is the thought that Councy actually made the got 904 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 1: again in the holiday spirit. All right, So well, second 905 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 1: straight year on Christmas night, Cardinals will have a game. 906 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see and once again here I promised this, 907 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: and at the very end, Craig Riel, here we go. Um, 908 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: it's the reverse pash factor whenever Paully play by play 909 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: Paul pinchit Ter sits in. Um. There was a two 910 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: twenty weeks sixteen game against CJ. Bethard and the forty 911 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: nine ers at home, which was a miserable loss. And 912 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,760 Speaker 1: then there was the game against the Colts where Carson 913 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: Wentz somehow, some way actually played above its production level 914 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,760 Speaker 1: all season long by a wide margin, and the Colts 915 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 1: pulled that one out that that was Christmas last year 916 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: and now Christmas and then yours truly again because ce 917 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: Pass will be doing ESPN NBA on Christmas Day, hence 918 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: won't be Yeah, where's PASTI gonna be? I think it's 919 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,360 Speaker 1: the Mavericks And I don't know. He didn't get to 920 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 1: do the Suns game. No, he tried. He tried to 921 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: make that happen. So he almost was going to do 922 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 1: the Suns and they take the helicopter over to the 923 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals game, but that didn't work for the NBA schedule, 924 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: so jerks, it was that. So anyway, there you go. 925 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,959 Speaker 1: I'm very excited here Danny on the sidelines, are you no? 926 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: Not really remember Danny, if the plays come in your way, 927 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: get out, get out of the way, if that's what 928 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 1: you want to do, Darren for future reference, Danny, if 929 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 1: you get run over, it's not on me because I 930 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: told you. I warned you. If the plays come in 931 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 1: your way, it gets beyond the hash mark bail, get 932 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: out of the way. And if you have to run 933 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: over one of the team docs to get out of 934 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 1: the way and save yourself, do it. Every man for themselves, yep, 935 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: And that'll do it for this edition of Cardinals on 936 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 1: the Ground. But Christmas everybody, Yes, well said. Brought to 937 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: you by Pacific Office Automation
