18
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: with the Arizona Cardinals.

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 5: Fulcome back Zoe, Yeah, yeah, I actually it was there

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 5: I think seven years one was a practice squadicle.

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 4: That's why it did not show up on.

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, Yeah, yeah, it was a long time in Washington.

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 5: So I had a great time there that I came

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 5: directly from here after there when Bruce arians first year here.

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: Question is what position was he playing? That's true, a

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: list right was playing offense or defense? He playing that

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: or this? I mean my right did in Washington? You

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: went through a whole iteration of positions.

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was all over the place.

30
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 5: You know, you talk about the versatility of guys these days,

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 5: you know, you know, to your point, in one game,

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 5: I played tackle, offensive tackle, offensive guard, defensive tackle, defensive end, right,

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 5: special teams, line up at fullback and like that big

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 5: tight end X tight end.

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 6: And that was it.

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 5: I think the New York Giants we played them in

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 5: New York in two thousand and.

38
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 6: Seven, I believe. So, yeah, I was all over the place.

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 4: So we made a big deal Paul about the preseason

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: finale Jesse Leuketta playing offense, defensive, special teams. Yeah, Zoeover says, yeah,

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: hold my.

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 6: Water right regular season game too.

43
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: What was the heaviest you ever were when you were

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: guard in your old lineman days? How have you? Were

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: you three fifteen?

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 7: Really?

47
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 6: Yeah?

48
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 5: I was three fifteen, and by the end I was

49
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 5: probably around two thirty five two forty. Oh my god,

50
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 5: you know, you just do what you People always make

51
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 5: a big deal out of it, and I guess it

52
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 5: is to be able to lose that amount of weight,

53
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 5: because it is hard to lose weight. But for me

54
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 5: it was it was out of necessity. I wanted to

55
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 5: achieve my dream and that was just a part of it.

56
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 5: You know, what do you need me to do? Or

57
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 5: I'll do this and I maybe have to lose ten

58
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 5: to fifteen pounds over course of probably three or four

59
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 5: years as I move further further with from the ball.

60
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: By the way, speaking of losing things, as we paint

61
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: the picture here on the Cardinals Red Sea report, since

62
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: this is audio, Paul calvic As promised the mustache. Didn't

63
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 4: that make the final cutout?

64
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: I told you it wasn't gonna make the final cuts now.

65
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: It made it through the initial wave, but then when

66
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: the waiver claims showed up, we had to get rid

67
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: of it. You know, it's just not winning behavior, especially

68
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: now with the race regular season here. It just didn't

69
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 3: didn't check that box, so boom, it's additioned by subtraction.

70
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: I believe I would have got a chance to see

71
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever seen you with a stash, Paul,

72
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 5: he probably looked really weird.

73
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: See in my mind it was Andrew Chafin, the Dbacks

74
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: reliever with his big old cowboy sque handlebar mustache. It

75
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: just didn't quite ever grow into that I needed performance enhancers,

76
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: which obviously, now the regular season here they start testing.

77
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: So I didn't want to test positive because I really

78
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: didn't need the PDS for the mustache.

79
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: So the mustache did not make the initial or final

80
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: fifty three man roster. But it's really not ever final.

81
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: But we have fifty three players, seventeen on the practice squad,

82
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: and that does include Bernard Psychowitz, but Paul, of those

83
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: fifty three players, twenty seven are brand new to the

84
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals organization, including eleven kind of eleven rookies.

85
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: No roster has more turnover from one year to the

86
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: next than the Arizona Cardinals.

87
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Zo.

88
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: We've been joking, and these guys thought I was joking.

89
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: I wasn't, ye. This whole offseason has been the sixth

90
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: version of the Purge movie. Okay, there are five Perge movies.

91
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: This has been the sixth. That's how much turnover there

92
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: has been and even DJ Humphreys said yesterday right that

93
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: a year ago guys were joking about or was Zavi

94
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: and Collins a year ago guys are joking The locker

95
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: room was like the retirement home. There were so many

96
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: old guys. Not anymore. It is a totally different look

97
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: as they have tried to recreate a different culture. Think

98
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: about last year and how we talked about in September

99
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: it's the new August. How the Cardinals just sort of

100
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: ease their way into last season. You saw a lot

101
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: of preseason esque mistakes last year in September. You know, okay,

102
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: as long as we're good by December. That is not

103
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: going to be the approach this year. That is not

104
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: going to be the culture or the mindset from this

105
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: head coach and the way they're coaching out there. And

106
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: they're not going to be the most talented team. We

107
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: get that, but I don't expect to see all those

108
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: mistakes we saw last September when they finally kick it.

109
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 6: Off right and now to give you opportunity to win.

110
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 5: I think when you factor in right the older guys

111
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 5: moving on and then a new coaching staff coming in

112
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 5: and wanting to make this their team, and their image, right,

113
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: you typically have a lot of guys turning over, especially

114
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 5: when you think about the coach. And I went through

115
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 5: this in Buffalo and when Sean McDermott came in, significant

116
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 5: amount of turnover, got rid of guys that were first

117
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: round pick, Sammy Walks, Marcel Darius. Right, people thought we

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 5: were punting on the season, right cause I think that

119
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: next year had a ton of quarterbacks in it, much

120
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: like what people are talking about right now, right, and

121
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 5: we had I think we end up getting Josh that

122
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 5: next year, but we made the playoffs. We broke the drought,

123
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 5: seventeen year playoff drought, and a lot of that to

124
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 5: what you're talking about with the new coaching staff was

125
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 5: the culture. We had a lot of blue collar, blue

126
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: guys that nobody really wanted who was that, but we

127
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 5: galvanized around each other. We had a lot of young

128
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 5: guys that they had brought in right, that weren't used

129
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 5: to losing. We created a culture of winning and how

130
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: do you become a professional and accountability and really use

131
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 5: that the springboard which you see now as Buffalo being

132
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 5: a perennial playoff team, right, And so when you take

133
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 5: that that type of model and applied to hear that.

134
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 5: That's what it reminds me of what JG and MANI

135
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: are doing and the guys that they're bringing in. Because

136
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 5: I had a chance to work out or not work out.

137
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 5: We did a camp with all the rookies, and typically

138
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 5: you can look around and you talk to a couple

139
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 5: of guys and how they're interacting and kind of they

140
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 5: vibing and say, oh, this guy isn't gonna make it.

141
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 5: I didn't get that sense with anybody. Everybody had a

142
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 5: professionalism about themselves, really related well, spoke well, integrated with

143
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: the kids one another. And also what I found out

144
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 5: is that one of the guys wasn't kind of falling

145
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 5: in line with that and he got released, right And

146
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: so they're holding guys account If you don't fit in,

147
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 5: we're moving on. We don't have time to wait and

148
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 5: try to see because we have a vision of what

149
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 5: we want this football doing. You have to be really

150
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 5: strong and stringent early on in that process because you're

151
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 5: really trying to establish who you are and what you

152
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 5: want to do. And so I say all that to say,

153
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 5: I like what the organization's doing from accountability standpoint, and

154
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 5: the guys that they're in and it's gonna be a progress.

155
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 5: We'll see what happens this year. But I wouldn't count

156
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 5: them out. You know, it's four and a half wins,

157
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 5: the is the over under. I would take the over

158
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 5: just because of what I see and what it reminds

159
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: me of in my experience.

160
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: The roster turnover to be expected with a new front office,

161
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: new coaching staff, and coming off a four and thirteen season.

162
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: But as I mentioned, eleven rookies, that's lots of players

163
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: that you're gonna be counting on this season. So how

164
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: do you get them ready for Week one? Here's head

165
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: coach Jonathan Gannon.

166
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 8: It's their first time. I tell them week one is

167
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 8: different than what they've ever felt before. You know what

168
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 8: I mean. But you gotta be emotionally stable. You gotta

169
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 8: be able to focus in on what you have to

170
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 8: do with each call. Lock in, do your job. You

171
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 8: know you're gonna make some good plays, You're gonna make

172
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 8: some bad plays. You gotta play the next snap. You

173
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 8: got to fit into the team and what we're trying

174
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 8: to get done. I'm excited for him.

175
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: This coming up on Sunday, though, is really the fourth

176
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: phase for at least in my opinion, for these rookies.

177
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: There's the off season. There's one type of speed, and

178
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: then there's training camp up a little bit, and then

179
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: there's preseason games, and then you have this gigantic leap

180
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: from preseason tempo and play to regular season tempo and

181
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: play that eleven players ai a Paris Johnson on the

182
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: right side of that, whoever he's blocking this Sunday, and

183
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: you'll get a different sense of the speed of the

184
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 4: game and how physical the game is versus what they

185
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: had experienced earlier.

186
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know what, the game itself, Guys don't

187
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 5: like all of a sudden run faster right than what

188
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 5: you saw. You Typically there's more stuff that's going in,

189
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 5: more game planning, more plays, more skin schematics, how I'm

190
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 5: going to attack you, and so you have to remember

191
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 5: a lot. And then on top of that the anxiety

192
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 5: of now these games actually matter, right, And that's often

193
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: the individual's ability to process all that, to control all

194
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 5: that stuff that's going inside of them as they're competing,

195
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: allows the game to either slow down or it seems like, man,

196
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 5: this game is just way too fast. But this dude

197
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 5: is so athletic. What is happening because he's not able

198
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 5: to process and handle the emotion. Is the mentality of

199
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: the game, the all of the adjustments and checks, and

200
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 5: so yeah, it's going to speed up. That's why each

201
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 5: one is a next step because you get a little

202
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 5: bit more mental stuff. The coach get a little bit more.

203
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 5: Now when we come to sideline, we got to adjust

204
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 5: everything we did in practice all week. Throw it out

205
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 5: because it's not working. We need to make an adjustment.

206
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 5: Can you handle that?

207
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 6: Right?

208
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 5: And so that's what you want to see these young

209
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 5: guys doing. A guy like paars U, he's like a

210
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: pros post. He's one of those guys where you see,

211
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 5: as a young guy, you walk up to him, Oh man,

212
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: this dude's gonna be in the league for a long time.

213
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 5: So I'm not worried about a guy like him. It's

214
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 5: gonna see how all those other guys kind of handle

215
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 5: those adjustments and being able to take advantage of special

216
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 5: teams and then they're smaller roles and then grow into

217
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 5: whatever player they're going to be.

218
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: Not a rookie obviously, Buddha Baker and I think really

219
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 4: the heart and soul of this team, maybe even the

220
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: face of the team right now, especially with Kyler Murray

221
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: on the sideline watching and not participating. He was a

222
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: guest recently on the day Patch podcast as far as

223
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 4: what he sees with this current Cardinals organization and look

224
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 4: into twenty twenty.

225
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 9: Three discipline, accountability, a team that's just going to play

226
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 9: very fast, a team that doesn't care about what anybody

227
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 9: else thinks. Everybody that's in that circle, everybody that's in

228
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 9: that huddle, those are the only ones that matter, and

229
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 9: we're just going to play football at a high level.

230
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 9: I definitely believe that one hundred percent.

231
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: I like the comparison that Zoe made to Sean McDermott

232
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: year one in Buffalo, we started camp. We had Josh

233
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: Woods in the big red rage linebacker came over from

234
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: the Lions and I said, did you do you see

235
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: similarities between what Dan Campbell did? And he cut me off.

236
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: He said, absolutely I do, and I have the quote

237
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: right here. He said, there's a lot of no nonsense

238
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: with this JG coaching staff. Without micromanaging, they're putting the

239
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: responsibility on the players, which creates accountability. He said, it's

240
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: also equal opportunity, no smoke in mirrors, right you're building

241
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 3: trust with the players, and when the players trust you

242
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: as a staff, it's easy to play for them. So

243
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: that's sort of the culture that I think they established

244
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: in August, and now we'll see what it looks like

245
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: in September. But once again, I don't think there's gonna

246
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: be all the mistakes we saw to start last season.

247
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 3: I also think there's gonna be another layer of physicality

248
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: that we just didn't see at all last year except

249
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: for a handful of different guys. I think it's gonna

250
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: be more team wide. That's sort of mentality, that edge

251
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: with this team, and that.

252
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 6: Leads to wins.

253
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 5: Right, that's gonna give you, you know, two or three

254
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 5: additional wins. When we think about the New England Patriots,

255
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 5: for example, and why they won all those years they

256
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 5: didn't when you played them, it wasn't like, man, these

257
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 5: guys are just so much better than us. They played good, sound,

258
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: discipline football and everyone was held accountable from Tom Brady

259
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 5: on down. If you didn't play up Bill, you knew

260
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 5: he was gonna hear from Bill Belichick. And that's the

261
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 5: culture that you have to be able to create. Right,

262
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 5: God's gonna make mistakes, but how are you responding?

263
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 6: Is this who you are?

264
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 5: This was one mistake and Bill would call you out.

265
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 5: And so that's what I'm feeling when you hear about discipline, accountability.

266
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 5: Those things matter. Yes, town is a part of this,

267
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 5: and you want talented guys, but if you lack those things,

268
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 5: you're not.

269
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 6: Going to win.

270
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: You'll be a perennial, you know, five hundred team, and

271
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 5: when you don't have great talent.

272
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 6: You'll be lower.

273
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 5: But if you have those things and have less talented guys,

274
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 5: you can find your way into the playoffs and being

275
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 5: a better football team than what most people expect.

276
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: Well, was it three years ago Cardinals went to New England.

277
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: That was the Cam Newton year? Remember that relate in

278
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: the season, Cam Newton's passer rating was like eighteen. He

279
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: was awful, and the Patriots won a close game at

280
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 3: the end. They walked a punt, they made some plays,

281
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: they made great defense, They did everything without without any

282
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: production from the quarterback. They still stole a win against

283
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: a talented Cardinals team that year. To your point, you

284
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: could do all these other things that go into a

285
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: winning formula, and I think that's part of what's being

286
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: established right now.

287
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 4: You always like to say, Paul, little things become big things.

288
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 4: Well the reverse as well as far as little things,

289
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: you want to make sure these mistakes don't become gigantic

290
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: mistakes or you just do the little things to where

291
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: all of a sudden at and a big thing is

292
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 4: a win on Sunday, and let's hope that's the case

293
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 4: for the Arizona Cardinals when they play the Washington Commanders

294
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: at ten a m.

295
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: Five point thirty.

296
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 4: Pregame coverage begins here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

297
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 4: As we continue on the Cardinals red seat report.

00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,800

299
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 10: the end zone for the touchdown.

300
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 6: DJ Humphrey's got a nice block.

301
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: DJ Humphrey's pumping his chest and his fist under pressure.

302
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: Top Fantasy falls.

303
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 2: It was deflected by ty Ziel White edits a peck

304
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: six sack by gar Deck.

305
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, what a move by Dennis Gardak the

306
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: bar period.

Speaker 2: Boot a Baker with the sack stripped the ball recovered

Speaker 2: let the five and into the end zone for the touchdown.

311
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 11: Nasty is as nasty does, and we all know other

312
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 11: Kyler Murray is nasty.

313
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray, James Connor, dj Humphreys, Buddha Baker, Kaizier Whites,

314
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 4: and Dennis Gardak. Those are your six captains for the

315
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals here this season, as announced by head coach

316
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon on Monday, And really not a surprise for

317
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: a lot of those names for Kyler for Connor, Connor's

318
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 4: second straight year as team captain, fourth straight for Kyler, Humphreys,

319
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 4: Buddha Baker, and Dennis Gardek. And we also have a

320
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: captain amongst ourselves here on the Cardinals Red Seat Report

321
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 4: presented by seat Geek your ticket to great seats now,

322
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 4: not myself or Paul calBC, but Lorenzo Alexander, a multiple

323
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 4: time team captain.

324
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: How big of a deal is this?

325
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 5: In the NFL, It's significant, and you know they did

326
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 5: a little bit different here. You know, it always meant

327
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 5: more to me, at least when my guys voted me in.

328
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 5: And sometimes I understand what happens with that. You know,

329
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 5: sometimes guys vote for the highest paid player who they

330
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 5: think the best player is, and kind of to get

331
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 5: about all of the essential things that going to be

332
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 5: a leader. And so sometimes you'll have a head coach

333
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 5: that been and get with the coaching staff and maybe

334
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: some of the other veterans and kind of pick a

335
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 5: guy or pick several guys. But for me, when the

336
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 5: when the guys pitched you, if it just felt different.

337
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 5: You know, Okay, these guys respect me. They they my

338
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 5: game as a person, and for me that meant something

339
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 5: more so because I was undrafted, right, and so I'm

340
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 5: trying to get respect from everybody, always trying to prove myself,

341
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 5: and that was one of the ways. Okay, we've we're

342
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 5: validating you, right, because you can't just be a great person,

343
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 5: you also got to play well. Right then that always

344
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: takes your game to the next level and people see

345
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 5: you as a captain. Okay, I'm leading on the field

346
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 5: and off the field. So it was always a real

347
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: cool experience. And obviously with that came a lot of

348
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 5: responsibility and the older I got, you know, I learned

349
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 5: how to handle it or do it do it more intentional? Right,

350
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 5: I think first of all, you're trying to lead by example.

351
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 5: How do I work out? How do I train? How

352
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 5: do I prepare, prep for games? How do I show

353
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 5: up in games? How do I respond to my teammates

354
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: around me throughout the week?

355
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 9: Right?

356
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 5: And then as I got older and could handle a

357
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 5: little bit more, then I would start intentionally, Hey, when

358
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 5: we drafting guys, I'm reaching out and calling you right away.

359
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 5: Hey when you come in town, Hey man, let's go

360
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 5: to dinner or come over to my house and hang

361
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 5: out with my family. Let's create this atmosphere of welcoming

362
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: guys in to help streamline that process of awkwardness of

363
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 5: like do.

364
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 6: I belong here?

365
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 9: You know?

366
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Who are you?

367
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 5: And all these things and really get to know who

368
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 5: they are. And so when I was able to speak

369
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 5: to them, I spoke to them from a place of

370
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 5: a relationship, and it actually worked a lot better, especially

371
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 5: when I got older. I'm thirty five and I got

372
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 5: a young Tremaine Edmans who's twenty. Right, there's a big

373
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 5: gap there, and it had to be more intentional about

374
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 5: how to feel and relate and connect with players.

375
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: Having that see on your chest, Paul, you could tell

376
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: how much, as we heard from Humphreys on Monday, how

377
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 4: much it meant or means to him as now he's

378
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: one of those older guys in the room with a

379
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 4: lot of the players, the veterans no longer in the building. Yeah,

380
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: you Gotkelvin Beachum in there. But DJ Humphrey is the

381
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 4: longest tenured Arizona Cardinal, regardless of offense, defense, or special teams,

382
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 4: and it meant something to him to once again be

383
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 4: named a team captain. He called it one of the

384
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: accolades he's most proud of. That symbolizes he's the leader

385
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: of men that in college, it's one thing. You know,

386
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 4: you're a senior, you're a starter.

387
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 3: Okay, you're probably going to be named a captain if

388
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: you're one of the team leaders, but that's more based

389
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: on maybe your playing ability. But at this level, to

390
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: be a four time team captain in a locker room

391
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 3: where guys are forging a living right, these are grown men,

392
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 3: So it had that significance to him. I also think

393
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 3: it had more significance that Cardinals aren't one of those

394
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 3: teams where they named like a dozen team captains okay,

395
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: where half the starters are named a team captain. In

396
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: this case, less is more, and I think that maye

397
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: be more meaningful as well, that you do not need

398
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 3: two hands or more to count all the team captains.

399
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's really cool because I was here when

400
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 5: DJ was drafted and to know where he's started and

401
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 5: then see where he's at now. Right, it's just one

402
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 5: of those problems, like, man, that dude grew up and

403
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 5: really understands and now he's seen as a team captain

404
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: because we all know when he first was here.

405
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 6: He was far from that.

406
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 5: He was out in the back house, in the dog house,

407
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 5: in the corner somewhere with BA. But right, he was resilient, right,

408
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 5: and so he has an experience. So that's a thing

409
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 5: that people can recognize when guys come in. It's like,

410
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 5: I know I was drafted high, but it wasn't always

411
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 5: easy for me. And that's a great connection point just

412
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 5: to help young guys to speak into their lives when

413
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 5: things aren't going right. Stay of course, young bro, keep

414
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 5: working and you can continue and then you can see, hey,

415
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 5: look at me, man, I'm been in the league.

416
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 6: How long is it? Eight years? Eight years?

417
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 5: Right, I'm a team captain now. Those things, those experiences

418
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 5: are invaluable. So it's really cool to see who DJ

419
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 5: has become and obviously has solidified himself as a leader

420
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 5: of men over the last half of his career.

421
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 4: Now, when Gannon named his team captains, there was a

422
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: follow up because there was a question on why Kyler

423
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: Murray was named a team captain despite the fact that

424
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 4: Murray is going to miss at least the first four

425
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 4: weeks of the regular season.

426
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 8: Here's jg He's a franchise quarterback and everything that I

427
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 8: want to for our captains to be, he demonstrates.

428
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: It was not a surprise to me, paul On, maybe

429
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 4: for either of you guys that all of a sudden

430
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 4: that that became a little bit of a story that

431
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: here's someone, Yeah he's on pump, but he's your franchise quarterback.

432
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 4: He's your starting quarterback whenever he comes back. And yet

433
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: why was he named a team I didn't get it.

434
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 4: But again, a lot of the national narrative with the

435
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals, I just don't get.

436
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: Look, Buddha Baker's the heartbeat of the defense. Kyler Murray,

437
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 3: let's not forget, is the heartbeat of this offense. For

438
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: everything on offense. Where the Cardinals struggled a year ago,

439
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: when they were clicking, when they were winning games. The

440
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: games they did win, it was Kyler Murray playing really well,

441
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: he is the rising tide that will lift all boats

442
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: on this team to where you want to go. So

443
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: for that alone, that alone, beyond what he demonstrated in

444
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: this offseason to everyone, and I Humphreys talked about that,

445
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: and we'll get to that. But I think there's been

446
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 3: a renewed respect for Kyler Murray, who has also grown

447
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: up himself. I believe exponentially this offseason that growth you

448
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: saw at d J. Humphries from when he was drafted

449
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 3: age twenty and now is still only twenty eight. In

450
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 3: his eighth year, he came in, you know zone, he

451
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 3: had more of a teenager mentality he had age twenty.

452
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray, I think, in so many ways is so

453
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: much more about the team than he was maybe a

454
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, because he was always the best

455
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: player by far. It only took him one year of

456
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 3: full time starting to win the Heisman. And so but

457
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: at this point and what this coaching staff has charged

458
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: him with, guess what, It's been mandated that he is

459
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: that leader. And so I think for all those reasons

460
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: and more, he gets to see.

461
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: You reference DJ Humphries, let's hear from the Cardinals starting

462
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 4: left tackle on why Kyler Murray is a team captain.

463
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's a reflection of how Kyler's handled

464
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 7: this whole process. But I got to see him all

465
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 7: summer training, lifting, running, like none of the fun stuff,

466
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, And that, like for me,

467
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 7: it put me in a different view of him because

468
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 7: you get to see someone grind through something really hard

469
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 7: and that was bid for me. Watching him do that

470
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 7: this summer was like really impressive. So it didn't surprise

471
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 7: me at all when I knowing that he was down,

472
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 7: but we still named him a captain. He's earned that

473
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,239
Speaker 7: the work that he put in the summer that we

474
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 7: all got to watch it, It's gonna work come out

475
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 7: ten fold when we get him back on that field.

476
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 4: Now again, we will see and judge Kyler Murray as

477
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 4: we judge all these players what they do on game day.

478
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: But to hear Humphreys just kind of detail what was

479
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 4: done in the offseason and just what Kyler went through

480
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 4: and to show this new coaching staff, I think that

481
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 4: more than anything though, to me, is why Kyler Murray

482
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 4: was named a team captain. Yeah.

483
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 5: I would agree with that as well, And like I mentioned, earlier.

484
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 5: Playing is only one component of being the leader. You

485
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 5: got a lot of leaders in the locker room that

486
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 5: may not even get to play a lot of snats,

487
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 5: maybe on special teams, but that doesn't not make you

488
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 5: a leader. It's the way you show up to work

489
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 5: every single day. What type of guy are you? How

490
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 5: are you working, how are you training? How are you

491
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 5: preparing for games? How are you feeding the other guys?

492
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: Right?

493
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 5: And so right now, Kyle is not obviously not playing

494
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 5: the first four weeks. One thing that we don't get

495
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 5: to see, and I know I don't. I didn't come

496
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 5: to a lot of practices and national media doesn't. But

497
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 5: how is he engaging those quarterbacks?

498
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 4: Right?

499
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 5: Some guys when they know they're not gonna play, when

500
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 5: you figure it out on your own. But I'm pretty sure,

501
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 5: right he's helping guys as he's helping himself and getting ready,

502
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 5: but he's also helping guys understand, Hey, this is what

503
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 5: you do, this is my perspective, this is what I'm seeing. Right,

504
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 5: All those things matter, right, and when he comes back,

505
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 5: the playing is just going to validate everything what we

506
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 5: just heard DJ Humphries talked about, right, and that just

507
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: supercharges who he is every single day by when he

508
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 5: comes out and plays.

509
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: I think he's also really connected with Jonathan Gannon. You know,

510
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: training camp, not only did you see him with the

511
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: other quarterbacks, Lorenzo, but you saw him and Jonathan Gannon

512
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 3: standing behind the defense a lot and Kyler asking jg okay, now,

513
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 3: why would you guys dial this up on defense? Trying

514
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: to understand a defensive coordinator's mentality. And so I think

515
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 3: the two of those guys have hit it off. We've

516
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 3: seen him around the building quite a bit. And you

517
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 3: know what, if there was a set of Kyler rules

518
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: by the previous coaching staff, those have been eliminated. He's

519
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 3: one of fifty three. He's always gonna be the franchise quarterback.

520
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 3: But in terms of adhering to what's expected, he is

521
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: one of the guys. He is not an island onto

522
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 3: himself anymore.

523
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 4: Expectations are the same for every single player in that

524
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 4: locker room. That's what you get the sense with this

525
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,760

00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 11: Shut Gut tops third and six steps up, throws at

530
00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 11: three cuck down.

531
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: From Toms.

532
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 10: Great shot by Joshua Dobbs being able to deliver the

533
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 10: football to the outside.

534
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: For McMath to be able to ful to the turf

535
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: as he's catching the Paul.

536
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 11: Dobbs deep trump, he'll throw it at the near side.

537
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 6: Catch man, not turn it up, put a touchdown.

538
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 11: Joshua doms con time and delivers for the score. It

539
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 11: is the first NFL touchdown for Joshua Dobbs.

540
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 4: QB one perhaps for a week one for the Arizona Cardinals.

541
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 4: Is that going to be Joshua Dobbs or Clayton toon?

542
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 4: There are your two options for the Cardinals right now,

543
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 4: as we discussed earlier here on the Cardinals Red Seat

544
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 4: Report presented by a seat Geek your ticket to great Seats.

545
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray on the physically unable to perform list, So

546
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 4: he is out at least the first four weeks. And

547
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 4: the thinking, the belief is Paul that yes Dobbs will

548
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: be the guy. He has the experience more so than

549
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: the Clayton tune. And it just seems you make that

550
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 4: move giving up a fifth round pick. Yes, it was late,

551
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 4: it was five. It was at the end of preseason

552
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 4: or that Thursday before the preseason finale. You don't make

553
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: that move with not the intention of starting a Josh Dobbs.

554
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: Speaking of first, it's got to be the first time

555
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: if he indeed is your starter Week one this Sunday

556
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 3: at Washington, the first time in Cardinals history, which spans

557
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: more than a century where the starting quarterback didn't take

558
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: a single snap in the preseason with the team, wasn't

559
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: there for any of training camp. He basically has two

560
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 3: weeks to come in learn the offense. Now he has

561
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 3: a head start on that, and that's one of the

562
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 3: reasons I think they went after him and gave up

563
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 3: the fifth round pick. I think there's another reason they

564
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 3: went after him, and that's because if you listen to

565
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannett, how many times has he said when he

566
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 3: talks about Clayton Tune and now Josh Dobbs. I love

567
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 3: the fact that they're able to make plays inside and

568
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: outside the pocket. I think he values that a lot.

569
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 3: We were able to talk to him on his TV show.

570
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: He went into why exactly you know today's defense is

571
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 3: so athletic. Just the ability to extend to play and

572
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: keep your eyes downfield, and how many plays happen when

573
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 3: a quarterback is able to do exactly that. And let's

574
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: face it, it's soon to be thirty seven years of age.

575
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: Colt McCoy did not have that aspect in his game.

576
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 3: So I think that's one of those underlying, maybe unnoticed

577
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 3: reasons why they indeed made the move. And for anyone

578
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: who was up in Washington in Minnesota and watch those

579
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: two joint practices where you got a much better regular

580
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 3: season read to Colt McCoy than you ever would in

581
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: a preseason game. Aight, you were going against the Viking starters.

582
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: B Brian Flores was really dying it up, dialing it up.

583
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 3: He was really ultra aggressive. And you know what, the

584
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 3: production was not there from Colt McCoy in those two practices.

585
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: And to me, it's not a fluke that a few

586
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: hours after the second practice, boom they called Cleveland and

587
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 3: the deal was done.

588
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: Dobb's two career starts last season week seventeen and eighteen

589
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: for the Tennessee Titans, where Manti austin Ford is from

590
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 4: and now Dobbs is here running an offense that he's

591
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 4: familiar with, going back to when he began last season

592
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 4: with the Cleveland Browns, because Drew Petsing was a quarterbacks coach.

593
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 4: Now he's the OC connect the dots here, and it

594
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 4: makes it just make so much sense.

595
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 5: That's the NFL business, right, you know, typically you get

596
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 5: a surplus of players wherever the head coach or GM

597
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 5: has come from or they've crossed over relationships. Because I

598
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 5: had a in Danny Smith, he's the special teams coach

599
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 5: of the Pittsburgh Steelers right now, and he kind of

600
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 5: raised me up in his league. And he always used

601
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 5: to say, right, the best players don't play on Sunday,

602
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 5: the ones that I trust because at the end of

603
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 5: the day, my job is on the line based.

604
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 6: On you doing your job right.

605
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: And so if I'm gonna go down, I'm gonna go

606
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 5: with somebody that I trust and know have built a

607
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 5: relationship and a rapport with because I know they have

608
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 5: my best interest, Then they're gonna be a professional. They're

609
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 5: going to obviously prepare and do the best job they

610
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 5: can to secure my security, my job moving forward by

611
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 5: their production, right. And so that's what you want to

612
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 5: see and that's why you have a guy like Dobbs

613
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 5: coming in. I'm gonna put a guy out there. I

614
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 5: know how he prepares. We know he's uberly smart. We

615
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 5: know he has the ability to play quarterback. He hasn't

616
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 5: had a ton of reps, but we know he has,

617
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 5: based on what he didn't Tennessee, the ability to be

618
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 5: I don't want to say a game manager, but he's

619
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 5: not going to be the reason why you lose a game, right,

620
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: And so it hurts that he doesn't have any game experience,

621
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 5: but these two weeks with his mind, his ability.

622
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 6: To get in here.

623
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 5: He has a great personality, so relating and connected with

624
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 5: the guys won't be an issue. But it's no different

625
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 5: than somebody being hurt and you have to call somebody

626
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 5: in and then stepping up and having to play. He's

627
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 5: been in that, he's done that. He's been on multiple teams,

628
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 5: so this experience isn't unfamiliar to him. And so if

629
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 5: he has this job, having this two week window, it's

630
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 5: icing on the cake for him. He's probably used to

631
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: having two days getting in there and then let me

632
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: figure it out.

633
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 6: So I'm excited to see what he.

634
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 4: Can do well. Last season. He was signed on December

635
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 4: twenty first. Eight days later he's starting for the Tennessee Titans,

636
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: So really this two week window is double than what

637
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 4: he usually has. To your points, though, but what are

638
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 4: his teammates talking about saying about Dobbs. Dj Humphries on

639
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 4: what he has seen in limited action with Dobbs.

640
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 7: You can tell he already knows the offense's that's That's

641
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 7: kind of the first thing that kind of struck me

642
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 7: was like, Oh, Okay, we're not coaching him up on anything.

643
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 12: He knows.

644
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 7: He's telling me what I should.

645
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 13: You know what I mean.

646
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 7: So I think that's the first thing I knows about

647
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 7: him is that he's very poised. He's very cheer, and

648
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 7: you could tell he knows this is his first time

649
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 7: being in his offense and is shows you could do.

650
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: It's only been a handful of practices. So that's the

651
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: offensive perspective on new quarterback Josh Dobbs. What about the

652
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: defensive perspective? Zavin Collins on what he has seen looking

653
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 4: across the line of scrimmage at QB one.

654
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 7: I know that he's very smart dude from all this stuff.

655
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 7: He was out there checking plays, so you can kind

656
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 7: of see that where he sees things, where he's looking

657
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 7: past just what's you know, he understands what the concept

658
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 7: of the defense is trying to do.

659
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 8: He's checking plays and they're audible and all kinds of stuff.

660
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 4: It does not sound like someone that is con fused

661
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: or learning this offense.

662
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 6: Pall No.

663
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: I mean, look, he has the degree in aerospace engineering

664
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: from Tennessee. He's done internships with NASA all right in

665
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: his spare time during his playing career. All of a sudden,

666
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: the Stanford guys in this roster are the second smartest

667
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: guys in the room. So there's that, but there's also

668
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 3: he has seen every sort of defense that's out there.

669
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a ton of starting experience, obviously, but

670
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: his second start was a lot better than his first

671
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: start for Tennessee, and that was a brand new offense.

672
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: And let's face it, he had zero weapons around him

673
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: in those two final games for Tennessee. They had the

674
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: worst receiver room in the league. They had to go

675
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: after DeAndre Hopkins. So you take all that, and you

676
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: take the fact that when you get into the regular season,

677
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: you know this. So they're not taking the entire playbook.

678
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: They're taking a chapter, they're taking a slice whatever they're

679
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 3: gonna use and design for that week's opponent. So he

680
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 3: really has two weeks to master just a fraction of

681
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: the playbook. And then when you saw Clayton Tune and

682
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: he's up there against the Vikings and what happened to

683
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 3: the five yard line when Brian Flores sent the safety

684
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: blitz from his right and he was caught looking left,

685
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 3: never recognized what was in front of him, and you

686
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: had the strip, sack and the fumble of his own

687
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 3: five yard line. You realize that Clayton Tune is still

688
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: learning on the job. And at least this is the

689
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 3: seventh season for Josh Dobbs, and that's why the moment

690
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 3: they traded for him, I figured it was his job

691
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 3: to lose.

692
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 4: It goes back to what you were saying, So who

693
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 4: do you trust week one? Because you're gonna be facing

694
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: the defense and the regular season is different than a

695
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 4: preseason game or a joint practice. Can you recognize and

696
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 4: be that quick as far as your decision making?

697
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 6: Right? Yeah?

698
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 5: And to you guys, well, he doesn't have a ton

699
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 5: of endgame experience, but he has a ton.

700
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 6: Of practice preseason.

701
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 5: He's seen a lot, watched a ton of film, a

702
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 5: lot of preparation that's going on, right, and the quarterback's

703
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 5: mind is a lot of that is just film and watching,

704
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 5: and we know he has a great mind and so

705
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 5: being able to see some of those things right. He

706
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 5: may not have the pedigree quite yet, but he has

707
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 5: the acumen in his mind to process it and at

708
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 5: least get the ball out, right, Because again, a strip

709
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 5: or getting sacked strip plumb on your own five yard line,

710
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 5: that is death to winning a game, right you pretty

711
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 5: much is pretty much that's one of the reasons how

712
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 5: you lose. And so if you can just minimize those things,

713
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 5: so right, even if Dobbs was in there, he notices this,

714
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 5: I get the ball out. Maybe he's incomplete, but I

715
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 5: live to fight another day, right, And so that's why

716
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 5: you want to go with guys who you know have

717
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 5: a great understanding of the offense, has seen a lot

718
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 5: of things, and because they can make quicker decisions that

719
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 5: may not be this world beater decisions, but they're going

720
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 5: to minimize mistakes that we saw from a guy that

721
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 5: doesn't have that much experience in the NFL.

722
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: And then there's the style of offense, right, we figure

723
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: this year's version of the Arizona offense is going to

724
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: be a lot more balanced than the last four years.

725
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: You're gonna see a lot more James Connor. You're going

726
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 3: to see a lot more of the run game. This

727
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: isn't gonna be like Trace McSorley getting the start on

728
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 3: Christmas Night and being tasked to throw at forty five times. No,

729
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 3: you know you're gonna get a healthy dose of the

730
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: run game.

731
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 5: That's gonna be significant. I mean, you just look at

732
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 5: how the Eagles played last year. Just physical right, offensive line,

733
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 5: defensive line, just physical, bloody you up. I'm gonna dominate

734
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 5: you the entire game, right, and bringing that over with

735
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 5: JG to this mentality playing a lot of twelve twenty two. Right,

736
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 5: we're gonna hit you in the mouth, We're gonna run

737
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 5: the ball, we're gonna establish the line of scrimmage. Then

738
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 5: we're gonna play action off of that and take shots.

739
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 6: Right.

740
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 5: That is you know, if you listen to wrong Wolf

741
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 5: for it all this, he's in heaven right now waiting

742
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 5: to see this.

743
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 6: Right now.

744
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 5: He's probably sweating right now, just can't in anticipation of

745
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 5: seeing this. So just right, being physical right. People always

746
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 5: want to see the sexy things on the outside and

747
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 5: all that. The game is won in the trenches. And

748
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 5: so if we can get physical play right, consistent physical

749
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 5: play on both sides of the line of scrimming, specially with

750
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 5: the offensive line, with James counter pounding the ball, you

751
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 5: take a lot of pressure off of the quarterback because

752
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 5: now that play action, you don't have people breathing down

753
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 5: your neck, right, they're playing the run. Then you come up,

754
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 5: you hit a guy over the middle, tight end, maybe

755
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 5: a deep over making some of these easy your throws

756
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 5: where I don't have to read the whole field at once.

757
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 5: And so that's gonna be a significant part of the

758
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 5: Cardinal success early on.

759
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 3: Hot take Cardinals fourth and one, they go for it.

760
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: You're not gonna see Josh Doabbs in the gun, and

761
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 3: you're not gonna see Josh Dobbs throw a bubble screen

762
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 3: on fourth and one. I wouldn't be Kramitt vertical.

763
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Jalen hurstyle, Yeah, I would not expect something

764
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 4: like that. As we've seen previously. We heard from Humphreys

765
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 4: earlier about the player Josh Dobbs. What about the person

766
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 4: Josh Dopps.

767
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 7: Josh he's quite dude, as he says, what it seems

768
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 7: like anyway from me. He went to Tennessee, though, so

769
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 7: it could he could just be a weird dude, you

770
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 7: know what. That could be the case. So I haven't

771
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 7: really quite figured him out yet, but I'm I'm you

772
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 7: know what I mean, He's he's on my team. So

773
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 7: I'm gonna find out. I'll let you know sooner or

774
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 7: later whether now he's a cool dude or not. But

775
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 7: U t starting out. Ah, gotta watch him, gotta watch

776
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 7: them for sure.

777
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: All right.

778
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 4: We do need to let everyone know that DJ Humphreyes

779
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 4: is a Florida Gator, So there is where that dig

780
00:34:58,520 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 4: comes from.

781
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: That's the sec. It's sort of like a couple of

782
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: cow guys sitting here and now all of a sudden,

783
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 3: we got to really hang with Syracuse guys starting next year,

784
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 3: that we have to lower ourselves to join the ACC

785
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: and actually rub shoulders with Syracuse guys like Green and

786
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: Dave Pash? Are you kidding me? I still haven't mentally

787
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: processed that the.

788
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 4: Door is open. We welcome. Everyone can always get worse.

789
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 4: We threw you a lifeline, though, we threw you a lifeline.

790
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: That's what that was.

791
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 5: But they talking about being in Dallas is going to

792
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 5: be the Neutra site for everything.

793
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 3: Not only are we remember of the acc though, but

794
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 3: we're only getting a thirty cut of the TV money

795
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: for the first seven years.

796
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I blame that on our leadership. Oh, it held

797
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 5: everybody accountable at the top.

798
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 4: Champagne problems. Speaking of problems, Cardinals and commanders, what's the

799
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 4: problem that needs to be solved for Arizona to get

800
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 4: the w that's next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

801
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 13: Franks will work from the shotgun right now, three wide receivers.

802
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 13: Cardinals back out of what they're showing as a blitz

803
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 13: sent four after banks, all kinds of time passes intercepted,

804
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 13: heading down the far sideline as Adrian Wilson to the thirty,

805
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 13: to the twenty, to the ten, to the five, he scores.

806
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: One of my favorite players, Adrian Wilson.

807
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: This defense, young defense, is stepping up to the.

808
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 4: Plate, taking your way back all the way back to

809
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 4: two thousand and one, when the Cardinals Radio network team

810
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 4: then was Tom Dylan and John Missler. The first career

811
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: picked six for a young Adrian Wilson in two thousand

812
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 4: and one. As we say, welcome back. It is the

813
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 4: Cardinals Red Seat Report presented by Sekik Your ticket to

814
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 4: great seats. Cardinals going back to our nation's capital on

815
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 4: Sunday ten am. Is the kickoff five thirty am pregame

816
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 4: coverage begins and Paul, the Cardinals have not won in

817
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 4: Washington since nineteen ninety eight.

818
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: Wow, I did not know that. That game. By the way,

819
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 3: Adrian Wilson's first career pick six was also the final

820
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: NFL game that Pat Tillman ever played. Four or five

821
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: months later he joined the Army. So how about the

822
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 3: significance of that? How about the fact that Washington is

823
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: gonna start at seventh different season opening quarterback in seven years.

824
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 3: And Sam Howe they got to figure that out. They

825
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 3: gotta figure this out. And with a new owner and

826
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: he has designs on this franchise, you gotta figure that

827
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: if Sam Howell isn't the guy, and they just paid

828
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett a ton of money ten million, eight million

829
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 3: guaranteed to be the backup, he came in with designs

830
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 3: on beating out. Sam Howell had one start last year

831
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 3: after being a fifth round pick that didn't happen. So look,

832
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 3: it's now or never for these two quarterbacks on this roster. Otherwise,

833
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: I fully expect, I think most people do, they're gonna

834
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 3: hit the reset button on the franchise quarterback in the offseason.

835
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 4: Sam Howell started Week eighteen last season beating the Cowboys

836
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 4: with a touchdown and interception. He was sacked three times,

837
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 4: and you brought it up, Paul the former fifth round

838
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 4: draft picks. Oh, before we get your thoughts on the

839
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 4: Commanders this season, how about Ron Rivera, the car the

840
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: Commander's head coach. On his young quarterback, I'm.

841
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 12: Really pleased with his overall growth in development. I mean,

842
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 12: his command of the offense really has come along very nicely.

843
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 12: His decision making is probably one of the really good

844
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 12: things that he's done. You know, he protects the ball

845
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 12: from the most part. He understands how important just protect

846
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 12: the ball. One thing that I know I talked about

847
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 12: his footwork, and I think his footwork has come a

848
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 12: long way.

849
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 6: I really do.

850
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 12: I think he understands the importance of proper timing in

851
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 12: your footwork. You know, he's got a terrific arm and

852
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 12: he knows how to use it.

853
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 4: And samhow now is with a new offensive coordinator and

854
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 4: Eric b Enemy who comes over after a decade with

855
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 4: the Chiefs the last five as the offensive coordinator. So

856
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 4: not only is oh it is a new quarterback, but

857
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 4: a new offensive coordinator, new play color, and a new

858
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 4: offense for Washington.

859
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the teams are similar in some ways

860
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 5: when you think about developing a culture of winning, especially

861
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 5: on the offensive side of the ball. You know, you

862
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 5: heard a lot of noise during training camp that a

863
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 5: lot of players in Washington were upset with way Eric

864
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 5: Ebad come over AND's coaching them right, trying to hold

865
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 5: him to a higher standard. And so I think you're

866
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 5: going to see a very tough, physical team come out

867
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 5: with that mindset because they're trying to do the same

868
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 5: thing that Arizona Cardinals are doing here as far as

869
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 5: establishing more physical culture and not beating yourself. But they

870
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 5: have a lot of great athletes over there. You know,

871
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 5: I'm familiar with them obviously, I played there for a while,

872
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 5: and it's going to be I think one of those

873
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 5: good solid matchups from start to finish.

874
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 4: Got some question marks though at wide receiver with Terry

875
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 4: McLaurin dealing with that toe injury. And then on the

876
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 4: other side with Chase Young, he's got a stinger and

877
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 4: then he's got knee issues on top of that. So

878
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 4: two big pieces on offense and defense. If you're the Cardinals,

879
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 4: you're not quite sure if they'll be available.

880
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, Chase Young might be your fourth best

881
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 3: defensive lineman. Honestly, they have three other first round picks

882
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 3: on that roster. This Cardinals O line is going to

883
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 3: get a massive test out of the gate.

884
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 6: Oh for sure. I mean you're talking about paying Allen Sweat.

885
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 6: Those guys can all go.

886
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 5: And obviously Chase Young is still coming off of eners

887
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 5: and he's still kind of banged up, so it will

888
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 5: be interesting to see how you handle that.

889
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 6: But again, if you can run the ball.

890
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 5: Be physical upfront, play action pass, you can negate a

891
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 5: good defensive line. But you have to win on first

892
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 5: and second down with the run game, with some of

893
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 5: the short passing games, so you're never playing behind the sticks.

894
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 5: But if you're you know, third and long, second and

895
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 5: long and allow these guys to get back and rush.

896
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 5: And they coach really well by a guy named Ryan

897
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 5: Kerrigan who played in the league for a long time.

898
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 5: They're gonna they're gonna eat you up a little bit,

899
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 5: and that's just any that's just playing good football. And

900
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 5: then when we think about the offense of Washington and

901
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 5: how they match up versus the Cardinals defense.

902
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 6: I'm looking at.

903
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 5: One thing that Reeve was really good at and it's

904
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 5: still great at, is his first fifteen. And it's gonna

905
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 5: be really interesting to see how the Washington commanders come

906
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 5: out and attack this Arizona Cardinals defense. And that first

907
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 5: fifteen that's gonna tell you a lot, a lot of motions,

908
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 5: a lot of screens, a lot of this and that, right,

909
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 5: and it is not necessarily about having a great talent.

910
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 5: They just out scheme you and get you all flustered

911
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 5: and then they come back and get settled in and

912
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 5: hit you in the mouth really quick. So it's gonna

913
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 5: be interesting to see how this Cardinals defense response to

914
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 5: that first fifteen, because I'm pretty.

915
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 6: Sure bne Mey has learned a lot from Reid over

916
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 6: those times.

917
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 3: Look what happened last year Week one. Eric Ennemy was

918
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 3: on that sideline at State Farm Stadium when Patrick Mahons

919
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 3: had three touchdown drives on the first three possessions of

920
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 3: the game and that game was over right there early

921
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 3: second quarter. Eric beenemy. He was not the play caller

922
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: and he felt like that was holding him back. He

923
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 3: didn't get those head coaching interviews, obviously, didn't get a

924
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 3: coaching gig. And you know what, if he's got an

925
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 3: edge to him, I wouldn't blame him because of Matt

926
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 3: Naggy and that Doug Peterson were also OC's for Andy

927
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 3: Reid and didn't call plays and they got head coaching gigs.

928
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 3: So the enemy has come in hot from all accounts

929
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: to he's high intensity. Yeah, he's putting in a lot

930
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 3: of accountability on that offense. And guess what, they got

931
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: a brand new owner. You've heard me say it, Greig.

932
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 3: I already think Washington's won to Oh, it's additioned by subtraction.

933
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 3: They got rid of Daniel snyder fan base, so you

934
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 3: know that fan base real well, they've been waiting two

935
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 3: decades to get rid of Daniel Snyder. So I think

936
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 3: that that atmosphere is going to be off the hook.

937
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I like the running back too, Brian Robinson Jr.

938
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 5: He was real physical and again that was an achilles

939
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 5: heel to this Cardinals defense last year. As far as

940
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 5: being able to stop the run consistently, So I want

941
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 5: to see what that looks like as well. We talk

942
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 5: about the physical play, right, we talk about the offensive

943
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 5: defensive line of the Cardinals stepping up and so being

944
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 5: able to control the line of scrimmage is going to

945
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 5: be one of the first things that I'm looking at,

946
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 5: and who's winning in there, especially that early in the game.

947
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 5: Who's going to establish their dominans and then consistently maintain

948
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 5: that throughout the game.

949
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 4: One more from Commander's head coach Ron Rivera looking at

950
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 4: the Cardinals and how Washington now prepares for a lot

951
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 4: of unknowns.

952
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 12: You prepare for what you see through training camp, and

953
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 12: then you prepare for where they're from. You know, knowing

954
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,959
Speaker 12: what they are, knowing who they are defensively from having

955
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 12: been in Philadelphia, knowing where their coordinator is on the

956
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 12: offensive side, you'll prepare for what you know he was

957
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 12: last with. You know, you look at the two quarterbacks

958
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 12: that they have, They're they're similar, but they're different, and

959
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 12: so it's you know, Jack's on top of it. I

960
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 12: know their staff is on top of it. So I

961
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 12: think we'll be ready.

962
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 4: Gannon was asked about that on Mondays though, just how

963
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 4: much maybe there is a bit of an advantage for

964
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 4: the Cardinals because of Gannon and Nick rawlis being with

965
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles. Yet on the other side, like okay,

966
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 4: if you were Washington, like okay, well, let's see what

967
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles did well right now, There's difference and

968
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 4: talents obviously, but that's what you're that's what you kind

969
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 4: of have to do with these first couple of games.

970
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, the first four weeks of the season is really

971
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 5: based off of right doing your job at a high level,

972
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 5: great communication, great tackling or a great block and just

973
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 5: fundamental football because you don't know, you have an idea,

974
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 5: right based on previous seasons and what guys did at

975
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 5: different places. But to your point, great coaches always make

976
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 5: these little incremental changes based on the talent they have

977
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 5: to play to their strengths, and so, yes, there's a

978
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 5: general understanding of it's gonna be a lot of twelve

979
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 5: and twenty two, some physical play, some play action stuff,

980
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 5: but I also have to tackle well, I have to

981
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 5: communicate well and just run my base defenses at a

982
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 5: high level. In reps, and that's what you really feel,

983
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 5: that's what normally wins the first four weeks of the season.

984
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 5: So whoever does that best, I think is gonna come

985
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 5: out victorious here. And then obviously as you continue to

986
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 5: grow and develop and make these incremental changes and making adjustments,

987
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 5: that's a coaches job within the game and players within

988
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 5: the game to win those one on one matchups.

989
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 3: Don't dismiss Sam Howell craig. He ended that Baltimore Ravens

990
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 3: twenty four game preseason winning streak and the preseason finale

991
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: is preseason passer rating was like one twenty two. Look out,

992
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 3: he's misster August. Let's see if you can do it

993
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 3: in September, Sam al preseason momentum? Does it? Is that

994
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 3: even a nothing?

995
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 4: Yeah? That was all snark right there, by the way, Paul,

996
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 4: when you get to Washington, make sure you say hello

997
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 4: to Logan Thomas, the fine Arizona Cardinals quarterback now tied

998
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 4: end number one. That's right, and been that way for
