1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: You know, guys, I woke up this morning and you know,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: the weather's starting to change, right, It was a little cooler.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: There's not as hot anymore. Yesterday, after the Cardinals twenty

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: three to thirteen victory in Week eleven over the Seattle Seahawks,

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I sat down, I watched some of the Sun's game.

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: They ended up winning their twelfth straight game, the Coyote's one,

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: and it's just a good vibe in the valley, right

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: all these sports teams winning on a Sunday, the Cardinals

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: traveling to Seattle, coming out with that victory, with their

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: backup with no Deandrew Hopkins. It was just a good

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: feeling waking up on this victory Monday. It's a little

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: bit more special because we also have a bye week

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: coming up, so we can all take a rest right

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: here on the On the Morning Scramble presented by Verizon Wireless,

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: Jody Jackson, Craig Relou, Rolando KNTU, and myself Felippe Jr. Guys,

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: how we're feeling, Like I said, everybody in the valley

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: seemed to win yesterday. Jody Jackson, Roland, I just you

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: got me so hyped there. I was like the vines

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: are so good. Rolando or Filippe, you take it. I

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: just had to happy. Everybody looks happy today here on Twitter,

Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm happy, man, because it's gonna

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: be the bye week. You don't want us to overstock

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: your fridge and have grocery spoil. But I have a

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: bag like this, Felipe, You're gonna remember your your your

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: childhood days because these are Mexican pastry. It's coyotas. Once

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: the bag is like this, you know they're gonna be

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: really good. No scrambled eggs today, guys. No bagels, no pancakes,

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: just coffee and coyotas. And you know what, it's a

29
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: bye week. We gotta make sure we enjoy this one

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: nine and two. Um, a lot of people did not

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: expect this. We did, but hey, you know what, things

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: are going well for the Cardinals. Good morning, Dirty I says.

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to start off with Orlando because I know

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna present us these coyotas and that's like, you know,

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: you wake up, it's a little chilly outside of a

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: coffee and you have that PASTI it's just as a

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: different elements to your morning when you don't just have coffee,

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: you also have something to like, give you a little

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: bit of that sweet taste. That's the only reason why

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: I wanted to live to start off. But the Cardinals,

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean performer Russell Wilson, how did you feel about

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: that offense yesterday? To Jody Wow? I mean they started

43
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: off the game just you know, you talk about marching

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: down the field, I mean long drive to start the game,

45
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: touchdown earths did it again? I mean the time of

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: possession ended up being ridiculous too forty to twenty. Essentially,

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: I think the only reason this was close near the

48
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: end was just not finishing a couple of drives, a

49
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: couple missed field goals. But you know, I was a

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: little it was a little tense near the end there,

51
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: but the offense came up huge and in those moments

52
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking on the defense has to has to

53
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: make this happen, and they did. Um how many guys

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: said complimentary football after the game, Did you guys hear that?

55
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: I love it. I mean, because it's a true it

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: was a true team effort. Again, you think the score

57
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: would have been a little bit different. It still was

58
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: a ten point win, still double digits, but a lot

59
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: of guys came up big in this game. I kind

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: of tweeted after the game. You know, of course, how

61
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: many of you back in September, I thought that the

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: offensive MVPs in November would be Colt McCoy, Zach Ertz,

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: who wasn't even on the team, and you know Ron

64
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: del Moore was right in there, James Connor. I mean,

65
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: all these guys came up huge for McCoy who led

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: the way, and so Philippe was just just a great win.

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: It's always great to win up in Seattle. Russell Wilson

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: doesn't look like himself. I heard a lot of talking

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: about that yesterday in the pregame and with Craig in fact,

70
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: and you know, they took advantage of that, and they

71
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: didn't let them back in because he still didn't manage

72
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: to make that big play to lock it and and

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown, but they held him down Philippe,

74
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: which is all that mattered. Craig. Last week, you were

75
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: very very passionate, right it kind of you know, I

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: got passionate throughout the week. I was a little down

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: after the loss last week, but you know you brought

78
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: that passion. Let me see someone that passion right now.

79
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this team really outperformed expectations in all phases

80
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: of the game. What you got for me, Craig, Come on, Well,

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: we wanted to see how this team was going to

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: respond after a disappointing, embarrassing performance at home, and they

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: performed very, very well. They responded very well, just like

84
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: they did following the loss to the Green Bay Packers,

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: winning on the road at San Francisco. They did it again,

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: winning another road game against the division opponent. With Colton

87
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: McCoy at the quarterback spot, three games for him as

88
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: the starter, two and one record, guys, he has left

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: this team. Provided Kyler Murray does come back after the

90
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: bye week, he has left this team in better position

91
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: than when he took over. At worst, this team is

92
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: the number two seed and a game or two game

93
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: lead on the division in the Rams next week when

94
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: everyone reconvenes on Monday. At worst, it's the number one

95
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: seed and a one game lead over the Rams in

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: the division. So I don't know, I think you could

97
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: have asked for anything better from Colt McCoy in those

98
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: three games with Kyle the Murray sideline, And just a

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: little note Phelipe, because we don't want to disappoint anyone

100
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: in the entire state of Arizona. But don't forget Arizona basketball.

101
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: You have a on Sunday also with a big win

102
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: beating number four Michigan. So it was a complete Sunday

103
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: for the entire states of Arizona. I don't mention right there, Yeah,

104
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I intentionally didn't even mention Arizona. I'm an

105
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: ac along, so when it comes to Arizona, I referred

106
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: to him as that team down down south, right, you know.

107
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: But Orlando, before I get to you, we do want

108
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: to hear from coach, because he did. He did give

109
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: away a couple of game balls, and one of tight

110
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: ends actually got the first game ball as an Arizona Cardinals.

111
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: Let's hear from coach. Let's see what he had to

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: He had to say, positive vibes in the locker room,

113
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm assuming, so coach take it away. Hey, congratulations from

114
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: great Hey give me In the week, we talked about

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: how are we gonna respond right when our bye week,

116
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: what we say we could do, best record in football,

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: which we got, all right, and undefeated in the division,

118
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: all right, Max up, all right? Game balls. Number eighty

119
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: six two touchdowns all right, number fifty five or two

120
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: and a half sacks, all right. And then this cat

121
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: came up here to last year when he was with

122
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the Giants beat Seattle, comes up here this year in

123
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: bat Seattle when thirty five forty four two touchdown all right,

124
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: last one. This guy stepped up big. He had some

125
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: huge catches when we needed him. Number eighteen. AJ Green

126
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: He love, love, love winning games. Right, you don't ever

127
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: know when your opportunities gonna get called. I appreciate you, guys.

128
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: I love being on this team. It's all about winning.

129
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: So let's keep rolling. Went on three one three quote McCole,

130
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: He's accurates challenge Jones, A J. Green, A lot of

131
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: well deserving game balls. By Cliff King's ray, he should

132
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: have honestly given himself fun. But you know that's a

133
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: conversation for another day. Orlando Cole McCoy was one of

134
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: the guys that got a game ball. It's kind of

135
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: odd to say that he outperformed Russell Wilson. I'm in

136
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer, a pop bowler, a Super

137
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Bowl champ. But Coo McCoy with three hundred and eighteen

138
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: passing yard, Russell Wilson only had one hundred and eighty.

139
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Obviously it's a little band up from that from that finger.

140
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: But what did you see from Coole McCoy. What did

141
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: you see from that offensive line that helped co McCoy yesterday?

142
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: I saw effort in control. Man. Once you have a quarterback,

143
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: the backup, the guax into your you know your mix

144
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: in and you know you try and leverage what you

145
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: can and do what you can. To be honest with you,

146
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: in two three weeks, let's be honest the NFC, I

147
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: mean we're we're we gave him a head. We actually

148
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: gave him, you know, ground to cover. Man. We were

149
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: up there. We're number one in the in the NFL.

150
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: And now with having Cole McCoy performed that he did

151
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: in Carolina and then having him come back and do

152
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: what he did in Seattle, Phelippe, this is this is legit.

153
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you need his services, there's a game

154
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: plan that can function under Cole McCoy. We saw it

155
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: in San Franz. We saw it against two divisional appoint

156
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: opponent and I'm comfortable, man, I think with those long

157
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: drives that we saw you know, ten twelve plays per series.

158
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: That is control. And let's be honest, when we see

159
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: the running game, you know, kind of take that lead,

160
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: for say with Cole McCoy and then having him not

161
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: really struggle with the vertical game, but those interior passes,

162
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: those small dump passes and make sure he gets in

163
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: the groups. He's unstoppable. We saw Cole McCoy function. I'm

164
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: really happy for him. He's a proven veteran. I really

165
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: like the guy and everything he does on and off

166
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: the field. He prepares like if he's gonna play that week,

167
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: And for me, number one thing Philippe was seeing him

168
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: bounce back from the Carolina game. I think we're ready

169
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: to go in case the team needs him after Blae

170
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: bye week, and that was I'm not gonna forget that.

171
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: Craig was, you know, pounding on his table. That means

172
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: when you hear those stumps, yeah, all the Red Sea.

173
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: When when you hear the stumps from Craig, that means

174
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: he's passionate. That's how I wanted him to bring that heat.

175
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: Craig quickly before we move on to our favorite player

176
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: of the game, would you say that Cliff Kingsbury is

177
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: the front runner for the Coach of the Year. I

178
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question about it, considering where this

179
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: team was last year to where they are right now.

180
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean, name me another coach out there that has

181
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: the best record in all of football. There isn't one.

182
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: It's Cliff Kingsburn. He's winning with Kyler Murray. He's winning

183
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: without Kyler Murray. He's winning with DeAndre Hopkins. He's winning

184
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: without DeAndre Hopkins. Don't forget no Justin Pugh, no Chase Edmonds.

185
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a defensive part of this as well.

186
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: But when you're the head coach, you get a lot

187
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,119
Speaker 1: of the praise, you get a lot of the criticism.

188
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: But right now he deserves all of the praise. Jody,

189
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: just the top off this main dish five and oh

190
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: on the road? I mean, is that the fix? And oh?

191
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: The oh six and oh on the road? Is that

192
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: a prototype like Super Bowl contender? Am I not? Am

193
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: I getting to ahead of myself? No? Absolutely, It's a

194
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: mark of a winning team for many years. You know,

195
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: this team struggled with that. A lot of teams in

196
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: the NFL do. But the fact that you can go

197
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: into enemy territory, so to speak, and also deal with elements,

198
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: whether it be you know, a little bit of cold yesterday.

199
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't the frozen tundra or anything. But

200
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, those are all good things. Those

201
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: are That's a mark of a veteran team. Also, I

202
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: think that's another byproduct of having guys you know, the

203
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: coaches can lean on. You've got your team leaders on

204
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: the field, coaches on the field so to speak, and

205
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: keeping everything in check. But yeah, six and on the

206
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: road incredible. It's it's to say these numbers. It's like

207
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: Rolando mentioned, you know, nine and two going into the

208
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: bye six and on the road. Took a long time

209
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: to get to the buy. But now hopefully these guys

210
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: can run. Yeah. I mean, I think AJ Green was

211
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: saying it, you know, the longest in his career to

212
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: get here, and it hasn't been easy. It has not

213
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: been a smooth road, and they've handled it. And that

214
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: road record is part of it. Philip's excellent. It's good

215
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: that that at the top of the NFL standing is

216
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: the last thing that I want is to travel at

217
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: a Green Bay in January for a playoff game of

218
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: any source. So good thing. Hopefully they control their own destiny.

219
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: That's another similar situation compared to last year and compared

220
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: to earlier weeks of this season. So they're now in

221
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: control their own territory. Let's transition over to our favorite

222
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: play of the game. And obviously, Jody, you always get

223
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: the head starts, so come on, shoot me, shoot me

224
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: your favorite play of the game. Well, you guys might

225
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: laugh at this one because it wasn't how it was

226
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: drawn up and it wasn't actually pretty at all. But

227
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: for me, there was a little symbolism with Colt McCoy

228
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: his second touchdown of the game the past to zach

229
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Ertz and it's because he dropped the ball and then

230
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: he managed to stay calm and just get that ball

231
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: out quick to zach Ertz once again. And I think

232
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: there's a symbolism in he did not want to drop

233
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: the ball in this game, losing this game. He wanted

234
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: to be able to come back and bounced back from Carolina,

235
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: like you guys mentioned, and you know, a symbolism that

236
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: things are not always easy. And look, yeah, there were

237
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: some passes that he made in this game that did

238
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: look simple and easy and well executed, but there were

239
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: times he was also running for his life, he was

240
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: extending the play, he was doing all of that that

241
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: he needed to do. I mean, it was it wasn't

242
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: simply even though the Seattle team, you know, didn't have

243
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: the pressure that Carolina did. But he managed to find

244
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: a way. And I think that's what he knew that

245
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: he had to do in this game, and he managed

246
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: to rack up a ton of yardage. But that was

247
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: one of my favorite plays for sure. I like the

248
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: fact that he stayed composed there and I just wanted

249
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: to throw that one at you. So Craig, and what

250
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: about you, what was your favorite play? Well, you know,

251
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: I like to go a little bit outside the box

252
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: or a way outside the box. So I'm going to

253
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: go with the play that actually was ultimately ruled and incompletion,

254
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: it's the interception that was not an interception. And props

255
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: to the replay officials for reviewing that play and overturning

256
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: the call on the field as Colt McCoy looking for

257
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: a j green and the play read perfectly by the

258
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: Seattle defense in Sydney Jones. But you look at that

259
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: play and if you believe in momentum or not, I

260
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: happen to believe in momentum that returned by Jones down

261
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals eleven yard line. You're in the red zone.

262
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: You kick a field goal at worst to get a touchdown.

263
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: At that point in the game, the Cardinals had a

264
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: ten point lead, sixteen to six, but you get put

265
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: the Seahawks in position right there to kick a field

266
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: goal or a touchdown. Now, look, the Cardinals ended up

267
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: punting the ball away. The Seahawks didn't do anything on

268
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: the ensuing possession either, But just those plays. Sometimes you

269
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: need to be lucky. You need to catch breaks during

270
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: the course of a game and a course of a season,

271
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals have been on the receiving end of

272
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: several breaks this year. And I thought one break that

273
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: was stood out above the rest on Sunday was that

274
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: interception that well, it wasn't an interest option. It goes

275
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: down as an incompletion and a third down stop. But

276
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: for me, it was one of those plays that I

277
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: think needs to be talked about here on the morning Scramble. So, Rolando,

278
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: what about you, You know what good thing you brought up?

279
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: Brought up that point, Craig, because I was blocking that

280
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: out man when that happened. I was like, oh my god,

281
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: here we go again, and Seattle is Russell Wilson and

282
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a day jabu. But no, we won that.

283
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: We needed luck. We need luck in the NFL. I'm

284
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: gonna go with Chander Jones first sack and let mena

285
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: tell you why. He lined up right in front of

286
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: the right tackle, Brandon Cell and just beat him, straight

287
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: out beat him. He was already measuring them his kick slide.

288
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he just that's what kicked off the defensive

289
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: pressure effort in with Marcus Golden, with Dennis Gardick, with

290
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: the big boys in the interior line, even Zach Allen

291
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: was in there. They bothered the entire game Russell Wilson

292
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: and that's where we wanted to see. Ben's Joseph again

293
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: called an excellent game plan in regards to the defense

294
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: and kind of put Chander in that position. We Chander

295
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: was due. Let's be honest here. I mean, he came

296
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: back from from the COVID list and it was like, Okay,

297
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: is this week gonna happen? Is he gonna make it

298
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: this week? He's gonna get those multiple sacks? Well he did,

299
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: and that first stack really meant a lot for this defense.

300
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: It dictated what they wanted to do, and you could

301
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: just see it on those offensive linement from the Seahawks there,

302
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: they were like, oh my god, here we go. How

303
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: are we gonna stop this? I mean, Russell's not that mobile.

304
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: Russell's trying to, you know, run for his life. And

305
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: once you have Russell, you know, rolling out under pressure.

306
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: Primarily throughout his entire career, guys, he's been able to

307
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: really connect with his receivers. Not now. His fingers still

308
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: is not there. We saw that the accuracy is going

309
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: to be an issue for him going forward. But I

310
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: love Chander Jones. I love what he represents for this defense,

311
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: and for sure that first sack really just kind of

312
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: kicked off things for our defense. I think it's funny

313
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: that he tweeted. I don't know if it was this

314
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: morning or last night, but he tweeted that he actually

315
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: wore the same shoes that he wore when he had

316
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: his fourth sack game a couple of years ago in Seattle,

317
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: and he wear those same shoes yesterday. How do you

318
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: keep those shoes around? I mean in the locker room,

319
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: there's like twenty five pairs of shoes. You mix them up, right, Jody.

320
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: I mean we all been there. It's like, okay, how

321
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: do you just you write the number down? Like hey,

322
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: versus Seattle back in twenty eighteen, I think he has

323
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: twelve and a half sacks in six games in that building,

324
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: which is you know, I guess he might have done

325
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: just that, Rolando. He might have taken those Seattle shoes

326
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: aside because they've worked pretty well. Yeah, he probably has

327
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: them stashed away in a specific box. This is the

328
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: Seattle box. These are where my shoes go when I

329
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: have multiple sad games in the NFL at looming Field.

330
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not no fortune teller. You know,

331
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: I just want to get that out the way. But

332
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: I did tweet before the game to the Red Sea

333
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: that the key to the game was for Challenge Jones

334
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: to have a big game. And you know, surely enough,

335
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: he started off the game with the sack, and you

336
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: know he set the tone for that defense. So, you know,

337
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: I have a lot of roles here on the morning

338
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: Scramble on the hose. I can be an analyst or

339
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: some sort, but I just kind of labeled myself a

340
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: fortune teller. So that's that. Uh, you know, he had

341
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: to you know, Roland was ready, he had he was

342
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: kind to do. So there was something. Now, if you

343
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: get any lottery numbers or anything, okay, oh I will.

344
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna keep that to myself, you know,

345
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: if it's the lottery, I'm gonna keep that to myself.

346
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: But I'll wrap it up talking about Connor. Connor's touchdown

347
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: obviously that was a cherry on top of that offense

348
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: seal the game. But I'm a big fantasy guy. You know,

349
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm in multiple leagues. I keep you know, in touch

350
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: with other deeper running back stats. And he actually tied

351
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: his season high in targets with five. The last time

352
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: he had five was against the Niners, and he was

353
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: leading running back in fantasy in that specific week, and

354
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: he had ninety yard yards from scrimmage. Yesterday he had

355
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Uh, He's just everything that steep time wanted

356
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: in a running back in a train. I like to

357
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: call him a train because anytime he's within five yards

358
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: of scoring, he's automatic for the most part. And his

359
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: touchdown really helped seal the win. Obviously, if it wasn't

360
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: for Colt McCoy really, you know, taking control that offense

361
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: I believe it was like a ten place sixty two

362
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: yards scoring drive just to top it off. So that

363
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: was impressive. James Connor and RB one for those asking,

364
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: I have a lot of homies in my fantasy leagues

365
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: trying to trade for him, asking if they if they

366
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: should trade for him. He should have picked him up

367
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: in like week two of the NFL season. If you haven't,

368
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: well you're a little too late. So that was it

369
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: for our favorite moments of the game. Where that's my jam.

370
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about players at exceeded expectations. Jody, who

371
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: you got for me? Well, I think you know we've

372
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: already touched on a little bit. But Colt McCoy just

373
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: picking up where he left off with the Niners flushing

374
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: that game against Carolina, and again, as we've all mentioned

375
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: here how important it is, he went two and one

376
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: while Kyler was down, and we assume the Kyler will

377
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: be back. But Nan, you know, you signed this guy

378
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: and if everything goes smooth, maybe he doesn't even play.

379
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: He was also signed for his role in the quarterback room,

380
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: on the field, in the locker room, just in general.

381
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: But he's shown that he can really play. There's no

382
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: question about it, and it was interesting some stats. First

383
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: time he started three games since the twenty fourteen season

384
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: with Washington, first time having two wins in a season

385
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: since twenty eleven with Cleveland. And you know, he's playing

386
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: a great role on this team. I mean, we talked

387
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: about at the two long drives. I love by the way,

388
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: I didn't pick it as my favorite play, but near

389
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: the end, when you know he's running the ball designed

390
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: runs for Colt McCoy. There was a little bit of

391
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: room in the middle, a little bit on the left side,

392
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: and I think he ran for eleven yards on one

393
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: and he just kind of created that extra dimension. You know.

394
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: Now they had to think about that that you know,

395
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: he's not Kyler Murray, but they had to think about

396
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: Colt mcoy run in that fourth quarter, which is you know,

397
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: like you said, the Connor touchdown was icing on the cake,

398
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: so to speak. But you never know if Seattle had

399
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: gotten that ball back. You know, there was pressure on

400
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy to keep that drive alive and to protect

401
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: the ball, which he actually did thanks to Craig's You know, Craig,

402
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: I do have a little issue that was a violation.

403
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: It wasn't actually a play I don't think, but it's right.

404
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: It goes as an incompletion. You're right. So that was

405
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: key because then it kept him in that category of hey,

406
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: he protected the ball, so um. One other quick thing

407
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, who was always fun to hear from after

408
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: the game, he told a little story about Colt this week,

409
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: coming up to him. I believe it was on the

410
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: practice field or in the locker room or something, and

411
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: he was talking about how Chandler's always doing his moves

412
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: and practicing and scheming for the week ahead, and he

413
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: kind of told him something along the lines of, hey,

414
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: just stopped thinking so much. You're the best player in

415
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: the NFL when it comes to pass rushing. You're one

416
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: of the best players in the league, you know. And

417
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: Colt was kind of surprised that Chandler brought that up

418
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: because then reporters asked Colt about it. But you know,

419
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: he's coltson encourager. He's a guy that cares about the

420
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: team and this team winning and guess what if this

421
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: team goes as far as some of us think they

422
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: can go, Colon McCoy is a big part of that.

423
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: And so you know, he was my player of the

424
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: Game in this one. I didn't even reel off the

425
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: stats at three hundred forty six yards. Yeah, like that's

426
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: easy to do in the NFL. But yeah, so a

427
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: lot of reasons why I love what Colton McCoy did

428
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: in that game. Craig, how about you, Well, it's already

429
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: been mentioned a couple of times, Chandler Jones, but I

430
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: gotta represent the alma mater here. It's the only thing

431
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: Chandler and I Sharon common is that we went to

432
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: Syracuse University. But Rise and Shine. Player of the game

433
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: for me is number fifty five. Yeah, he had two sacks,

434
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: three quarterback hits, but he was also in that backfield

435
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: quite a bit. He blew up a run play as well.

436
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: And I think this was to be expected because as

437
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: elusive as Russell Wilson has been throughout his entire career,

438
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, Chandler Jones has no problems sacking Russell

439
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Wilson and Jody, you brought it up earlier. Twelve and

440
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: a half sacks in six career games at Louman Field.

441
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: That puts Chandler Jones tied for tenth all time as

442
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: far as sacks in that building. And Chandler Jones doesn't

443
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: play for the Seattle Seahawks. He rarely plays where. He

444
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: doesn't play much in that building. But Chandler Jones and

445
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: that defense getting after Russell Wilson, providing that pressure making

446
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: him uncomfortable, and then obviously with that finger, he just

447
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: wasn't himself. A lot of those balls were sailing on him.

448
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: But I like what Chandler Jones did filling up that

449
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: stat sheet and delivering in key moments throughout that game.

450
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: On Sunday, so I went defense for Orlando. Where are

451
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: you looking for your rise and shine player of the game.

452
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of them, but I gotta give it

453
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: to Saccaria zach ertzmar tight end. This guy just had

454
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: a date. Eight receptions, eighty eight yards. His average was eleven.

455
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: He put those touchdowns in the first one I like,

456
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, was that shovel little pass or whatever you

457
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: want to call it that when he's in motion, and

458
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: that just reminded me of Larry Fitzgerald. But anyways, that

459
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: that play works with a big tight end with a

460
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: big body there, and when he actually was going towards

461
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: the end zone in that goal line situation, he his

462
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: presence alone, had Jamal Adams on him the entire time,

463
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: and that kind of opened up other sectors for Colt McCoy.

464
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: So he's becoming an issue for rival defenses. This guy

465
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: is gonna be is gonna take the middle of the

466
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: field and he's gonna own it. And I think zach

467
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Gertz needs will be incorporated more in the game plan

468
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: this game, this game against the Seahawks, I mean, he

469
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: was just there and we saw the emotion right after

470
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: that second touchdowns like let's go, come on, feed me

471
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm ready to go. There was nobody that

472
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: could actually cover him. Bobby Wagoner could not even you know,

473
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: run with him, and Jamal, which was the big thre

474
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: right on this defense, was kind of like, Okay, I

475
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: gotta pay attention to this guy because he's all over

476
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: the place. So for me, zach Ertz had a great

477
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: game in the running game. He also contributed a lot.

478
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's becoming that overall team guy that you

479
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: want at that position. So for me, Rise and Shine,

480
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: I gotta give props to to zach Ertz his best

481
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: game as an errors on the Cardinals today. Obviously he

482
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: hasn't had that many but the fact that he comes

483
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: out with the multi, multi touchdown game. But theriz On Cardinals,

484
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, without DeAndre Hopkins, that's what you want. Aj

485
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: Green also had a pretty decent game, But Rondel Moore

486
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: his stats weren't like flashy. He had eleven receptions fifty

487
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: one receiving yards, but they really utilized them as an

488
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: extension of the run game. I mean, we kind of

489
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: underestimated the absence of Chase Edmins, but Chase Edmans what

490
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: hey to do? You you know, gave him an opportunity

491
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: to create space in the open field in the middle

492
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: of the you know, lateral passes, things like that, catching

493
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: passes out of the backfield, and that's exactly what Rondo

494
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Moore did yesterday. I mean, he's fifth in the NFL

495
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: and yards after catch, but I just want to compare

496
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: him to guys like Cooper Cup, Chris Godwin, DeVante Adams,

497
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel all who are in front of him in

498
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: that category. Randomore has only played one hundred and ninety

499
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: three pass snaps up to week eleven. Those are the

500
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: guys that I mentioned. They've all played more than three

501
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: hundred pass snaps through eleven weeks. That just goes to

502
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: show you that Randomore is really, you know, dominating in

503
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: yards after catch. He averages about nine point three yards

504
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: after catch prayer reception. So the way that Cliff Keensby

505
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: is really utilizing is everything that he's wanted in the speech. Sir,

506
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: you know he drafted Andy Azuela. That hasn't necessarily worked out,

507
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: but Rondo Moore is really what Cliff keen is very

508
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: envisioned when he drafted when he drafted him this past year.

509
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: So Random Moore, you know, he's dominating, he's putting up numbers,

510
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: he's quietly, he's a sneaky guy. He's a quiet guy

511
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: in general. So everything's matching up his play and his personality.

512
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it for our rise and shine. Let's

513
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: bring home the Bacon Orlando heading into the bye nine

514
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: and two at the top of the standings, at the

515
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: top of the NSC West standings. Why was that important?

516
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: Heading into the bye week with this record? It's like

517
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: the perfect scenario you talk about this, I mean, coaches

518
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: win the season, the schedule comes out, they meet and

519
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, so let's go through this. What do

520
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: we need in order for us to get you know,

521
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: our division title. What record is actually viable? Right? And

522
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: you start kind of messing with the numbers, and obviously

523
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: you shoot to win every single game, but it's the NFL, guys,

524
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: You're n gonna win every single game. So to be

525
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: nine and two and going into the bye week, let

526
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: alone that it's Thanksgiving bye week. I mean you're gonna

527
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: have your family over, You're gonna be able to relax,

528
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to taste that turkey even better,

529
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: and to be to say just something here, when you

530
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: start your innful career, your bye week, if it's early enough,

531
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, let me go to Mama Mater. I

532
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: want to be on the sidelines. I want to make

533
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: sure I'm at the football game. And then the ears

534
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: start going by, and then it's like okay. Then you

535
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: get hobbies like, oh, let's let's plan the hunting trip guys,

536
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: especially for the offensive linement. The big guys like to

537
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: do that. But then it's like, oh my god, I

538
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: gotta just sit on the couch, get some extra rehab,

539
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: and just make sure I'm good for next Monday. And

540
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: that's what the Arizona Cardinals need at this moment, philipep

541
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: They need to stay focused during the bye week. We

542
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: know COVID is still out there. We know that these

543
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: guys need to take care of their bodies. Obviously, hopefully

544
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: we get back to strong pieces of the of the puzzle,

545
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: which is Kyler, Murray and d Ho for this offense

546
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: coming in for next week. But yeah, it's gonna be

547
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: a great bye week. Once you're in there nine to two,

548
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: everybody relaxes. Coaches that are like, Okay, be smart, guys.

549
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: You have some time off, be with your families, make

550
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: sure you disconnect and kind of just live your regular

551
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: life and not think about too much about football. But

552
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: for the guys that are injured, it's for the guys

553
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: that you know, have a little bruise here and there,

554
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: you have to make sure you wake up and you

555
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: go to rehab and you and you see on top

556
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: of that, because at the end of the day, we

557
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: still have what is it create five six games after

558
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: the bye week. We have games three at home, three

559
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: on the road. I mean six games. Come on, guys,

560
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: it's still there's still a lot of football left. So

561
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: the bye week is going to be an excellent bye

562
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: week for all the Arizona Cardinals leap, I think for sure.

563
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if we would have lost in Seattle, everybody

564
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: would have been Okay, let's just get out, get out

565
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: of the building, go do whatever you gotta do, come

566
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: back and focus. But now the vibe is different, the

567
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: attitude is different, the coaches are a little bit more,

568
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, like, Okay, we have this in the books.

569
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: Let's let's just maintain what we've been doing every single week.

570
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: In order for these guys to come back and have

571
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: a great practice, you got to refocus next week. And

572
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: I think for sure the veterans on this team will

573
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: talk to the younger guys that want to go back

574
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: home and want to take that commercial flight and say, hey,

575
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: there's a big opportunity here, guys, stay home, be safe,

576
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: and let's get this this boat going in the same direction.

577
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: So there's a good, one perfect way to really describe

578
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: the importance of this bye week. Jody Quick thoughts, Yeah,

579
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I mean, I think it's not something

580
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: that anyone will take for granted. On this team, you

581
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: have guys that our veterans, some have played on successful teams,

582
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: some have not, but they are not going to squander

583
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: this chance by you know, you know, doing anything. I

584
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: mean it's not even about doing anything crazy, but you know,

585
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: just trying to stay healthy, trying to stay in the

586
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: right frame of mind during the bye week. I'm happy

587
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: for them. I'm happy for them to get this chance

588
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: to rest a little bit. It has taken a long time.

589
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: Some guys have gutted it out, even with you know, injuries,

590
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: We know the games that they've missed, but then you

591
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: know that they're probably not totally healthy even when they

592
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: come back. That's just the nature of football. I know.

593
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury said he was going to maybe take a

594
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: nap or something, and then AJ Green was like that

595
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: dude doesn't take a nap, like he's just a workaholic

596
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: or overtime worker whatever he was called. And so I

597
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: do wish for that, Cliff Kingsbury, let your brain rest

598
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit. You deserve it. Craig, Craig, Craig,

599
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: I can't wrap up the show without getting to you man,

600
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: any quick thoughts. What are you making for Thanksgiving? A

601
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: little bit of both. I think this team needs to

602
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of disconnect from everything, maybe from one another, just

603
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: from the game of football and as much as it's

604
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: going to help to have the physical rest, the mental

605
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: rest as well and recharge come back and hopefully this

606
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: team is healthier out of the buy rather than how

607
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: they were going into the buy as far as missing

608
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: the number of players on both offense and defense. But

609
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: don't get too ahead of ourselves. You can enjoy it

610
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: on your friends and family, but realize that right now

611
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,400
