1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang. On today's show, Paul Calbasi joins me, 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: can't think of a better person to break down Sunday's 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: matchup against As Paul likes to call them the last 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 1: place Seahawks, they aren't playing like a last place team. 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: Not on offense, that's for sure. The Seahawks defense, well, 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: that's a different story. It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode six 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: Z three, and it starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two. 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: Hit in the backfield, and down he goes for a loss. 9 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: J J. Watt Nailed at Cardinals. Cover two is presented 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: by Hun Day, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. Visit acy Cardinals dot com Slash podcasts. 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: He's at the ten half of five. He's in again, 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: so for Harry Magic. WHOA, here's Craig Grielou. So can 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: we actually just you, Paul still call this week's opponent 15 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: the last place Seahawks because technically you're right. Yeah, but 16 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: at two and three they have the exact same record 17 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: as the Cardinals. Yeah. I'd love to, but I do 18 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: fear a little bit disrespecting the Seahawks team, especially based 19 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,639 Speaker 1: on what they're doing on offense right now, and Gino Smith, 20 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: as if Gino Smith needs any further motivation, because this 21 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: dude is bawling right now. So maybe I'll take one 22 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: for the team and I'll suppress my big desire to 23 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: call them continue to call them the last place Seahawks, 24 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: even though that's what they earned a year ago, especially 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: after they lost to the Cardinals at home against Colt 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: McCoy and all the twelves were booing the Seahawks. That 27 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: was probably the low point of their season a year ago. 28 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: All Right, A couple of notes on this matchup here 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: in Week six at louman Field, both teams two and three, 30 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: and as we speak here on this Friday, kickoff at 31 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: one oh five, so pregame coverage begins at eight thirty 32 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network. However, as Paul Calvic 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: and the rest of the Arizona Cardinals traveling party are 34 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: in the air. On Saturday, the Mariners and Houston Astros 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: are playing Game three. If the Astros win, they sweep, 36 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: kickoff remains at one oh five. If the Mariners win 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: force a game four, then kickoff gets moved to two 38 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: thirty and Paul can party a little bit later, sleep 39 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: in and not have to worry about, you know, everything 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: else that goes along with what do you do in Seattle? 41 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: Another ninety minutes to partake in all the free coffee 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: that's up in the press box, which nobody needs, especially 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley. He'll be highly caffeinated, that is for sure. 44 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: So well, look, we'll see what happens. It's already a 45 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: scene down there in that area for every time on 46 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: game day, so now times two with the Mariners playoff game. Yeah, 47 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: and you know what, make way for the Cardinals team buses, 48 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: because that's about the only way you're getting into that 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: stadium at that point is with a police escort. Bloomin 50 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: Field tea mobile park literally across the street from one another. 51 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: So things could be very very busy on Sunday. But 52 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: you brought up Geno Smith. So some trivia for you, 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: Paul here on Cardinals cover two presented by Hounday, proud 54 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Sunday well mark almost four 55 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: thousand days officially three thousand, nine hundred and forty two 56 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: days since the Arizona Cardinals last faced a Seattle starting 57 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: quarterback not named Russell Wilson and bonus points for you. 58 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: Can you name said quarterback and remember the dates of 59 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: what the last time the Cardinals faced a non starting 60 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: quarterback by the name of Russell Wilson. Okay, so they 61 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: signed the big free agent from Green Bay and they 62 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: paid him big money and they never played him. And 63 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what his name was, but it's 64 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: a move point because he never did play because Russell 65 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: supplanted him as If Flynn. That is not the answer, 66 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: by the way, I'll throw out there. Let's see former 67 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: Seahawks quarterbacks for five hundred Tavarus Jackson bingo wow. Regular 68 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: season finale of the twenty eleven season. It was January first, 69 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: twenty twelve, So you rang in the new year facing 70 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: Tavaris Jackson and the Seattle Seahawk. Don't tell my wife, 71 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: I can't remember our wedding anniversary, but I remember Tavaris Jackson. 72 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: That's that's embarrassing. Yeah, that that deserves an embarrassed as 73 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: they say, a double ding. Yeah on Cardinals covered two 74 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: long so almost four thousand days now and Gino Smith 75 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: it's it's literally amazing. And I'll be honest, I have 76 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: not watched every single snap a Geno Smith. But you 77 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: take a look at the numbers of what he has 78 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: been able to do leading the league. Let me said 79 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: that again, leading the league in completion percentage better than 80 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: seventy five percent. He has the league's best passer writing 81 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: at one hundred and thirteen point one. And as Vance 82 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: Joseph said earlier this week, when you watch it, you 83 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: can't say it's not real. It's real. A JJ Watt 84 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: told us at his locker said, it's not like he's 85 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: checked down, Charlie. He is launching the ball. I mean, 86 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: this guy is a a downfield assault machine. He is 87 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: absolutely letting it rip. And you talk to some of 88 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: the Cardinals players as to what exactly is going on here, 89 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: and they'll tell you, We'll look, if you're Gino Smith, 90 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: what's your mindset? Why not go out there and ball? 91 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: What do you have to lose? You were a placeholder? 92 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: Most people figured they trade away Russell Wilson a man, 93 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: what an absolute grand theft quarterback? Trade? Does that look 94 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: like in favor of Seattle? Right now? You got two 95 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: first round picks, two second round picks, you got Noah Fan, 96 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: you got your backup quarterback and Drew Locke and you 97 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: got rid of forty million plus per year. And Russell 98 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: Wilson the new contract he wanted and received from Denver, 99 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: and it's been additioned by subtraction putting Gino Smith in there. 100 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: I think scheduled with incentives is going to make around 101 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: four million dollars. So it's an absolute grand slam for 102 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: John Schneider and Pete Carroll. And we don't say that easily, 103 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: but you got to give him props on this one. 104 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: And as for Gino Smith, he goes out there, he's like, well, 105 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: if I'm just a placeholder and or you think you're 106 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: gonna play me because you want a tank, not tank, 107 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: well I got your tank right here. I'm just gonna 108 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: start on leashing this ball to two Pro Bowl caliber receivers. 109 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: I mean, look at last week, where is it against 110 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. You had Gino Smith with a 111 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: fifty yard touchdown to DK Metcalf and a thirty five 112 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: and forty yard touchdown to Tyler Lockett. Think about that greed. 113 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: Think about the fact that Cardinals have one play that 114 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: has gone thirty yards all year, and that was Kyler 115 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: Murray breaking the pocket just before halftime. Against the Rams 116 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: and on the run throwing what I thought what I 117 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: consider his best pass of the year in between layers 118 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: of coverage downfield hating Greg Dortch on the money who 119 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: toe taps a sidelite, takes a massive submarine hit to 120 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: his lower body, gets up, somehow plays the rest of 121 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: that game. But look, the Seahawks and Geno Smith have 122 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: been all about the explosives and the Cardinals have been 123 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: dead lastingly in that category. We'll just look at what 124 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: the Seahawks did Sunday against these Saints, losing thirty nine 125 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: thirty two. But you mentioned three touchdown passes it better 126 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: than thirty five yards. They also had a touchdown run 127 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: of sixty nine yards by Kenneth Walker. More on him 128 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: in a moment, But those are four scoring plays of 129 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: better than thirty five yards this season. The longest scoring 130 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: play for the Cardinals in twenty twenty two twenty five yards, 131 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: and that was Murray to Hollywood Brown just last week 132 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: for that twenty five yard touchdown catch and run. And 133 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: we all know about the Cardinals slow starts as well. 134 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: So look, there's plenty to look at it Over the 135 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: block wall into your neighbor's backyards. We'd like to say, 136 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: when you have an NFC West game, how can you 137 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: not look at Seattle's offense right now and look at 138 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: it with envy? Everything they're able to do, and it's 139 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: not for a lack of putting the ball in the air. 140 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray leads the NFL in pass attempts, leads the 141 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: NFL in completions. Here's the problem. They're thirty first in 142 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: yards per attempt at five point eight and Seattle here's 143 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: where the rub is. Seattle's defense is given up the 144 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: highest per completion and nearly nine yards per so, as 145 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: they like to say in the broadcast business, the proverbial 146 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: something's got to give. Either this Seahawks defense which is 147 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: dead last against the Cardinals offense that has been struggling 148 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: for chunk plays in big yardage, and then Gino Smith 149 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: not to get too far off topic here, Gino Smith 150 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: and his ability to go big play, where the Cardinals 151 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: defense has been top three in the NFL against the 152 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: big play correct, they have done a great job the 153 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: last several weeks as far as taking away the opponent's 154 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: best offensive weapon. And you can look at the Raiders, 155 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: they had a number of different offensive weapons. The ram's 156 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: the same thing Eagles as well. You look at this 157 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: Seahawks team and the best offensive weapon, and you can 158 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: make an argument for a Tyler Lockett a DK Metcalf 159 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: is it's potentially Kenneth Walker just because it's now he 160 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: is now RB one with Rashad Penny breaking his ankle 161 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: and being done for the season. But my guess is, 162 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: because last week it was a Brown, My guests, it's 163 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: gonna be either Locket or Metcalf that vanch Joseph says, 164 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: you're not beating us today, and you know what history 165 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: would say, it should be Locket because if you look 166 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: at recent games between the card in fact, the last 167 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: six games and looking at it right now, DK Metcalf 168 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: over the last six games against the Cardinals fifteen catches 169 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: for a buck sixty four and a touchdown. Tyler Lockett 170 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: in the last six games thirty eight catches, five hundred 171 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: forty three yards receiving, and six touchdowns. So Lockett has 172 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: been much more of a Cardinals killer than DK Metcalf 173 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: ever has. Then again, getting back to what we're talking 174 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: about and the Cardinals defense, there's been good, there's been bad. 175 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: There's been mostly good. Ever, since the first six quarters 176 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: of this season, which was bad the game against the 177 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs to start and then the first half against the Raiders, 178 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have dialed it in and they've only allowed 179 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: two deep passes twenty plus air yards, only two allowed 180 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: all year by a Cardinals defense, and that is fewest 181 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So once again, something's gotta give when 182 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: you look at the scoutter reports and what each team 183 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: comes in having accomplished so far this year. I like 184 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: how Byron Murphy has played and in coach Joseph's own words, 185 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: playing at a high level. He did a great job 186 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: of the last several weeks. It was Marco Wilson, though 187 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: on a J Brown initially and then with some help 188 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: from his friends, able to shut down Brown the rest 189 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: of the way last week when the Cardinals played the Eagles. 190 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: But you have Byron Murphy and Marco Wilson, does one 191 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: or do you do a combination against Lockett's DK Metcalf. 192 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: Don't forget about well Disley. Now Isaiah Simmons, what's his 193 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: role this week? He has played more each of the 194 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: past two weeks to where maybe your eight whatever happened 195 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: after Week one, those issues, maybe that quote unquote punishment 196 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: if you will, for not playing well Week one against 197 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. He has overcome that and now become parts 198 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: a larger part of this defense. And for Isaiah Simmons, 199 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: it was never the execution in terms of his athletic ability. 200 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: It was just wasn't in the right spot at the 201 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: right time. Was he understanding the finer points, the small 202 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: things that will get you beat For example, Travis Kelsey 203 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: was a problem. That's the one game this year where 204 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals identified the other team's major weapon and failed 205 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: at stopping was Travis Kelsey. And if you read between 206 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: the lines a lot of what was said Vance Joseph 207 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: and others, it was a small thing. So it was 208 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: the leverage on the wrong side of Travis Kelsey, trying 209 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: to send him to areas where you had help over 210 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: the top, and Kelsey is such a master at reading 211 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: that at Mahomes nose and win, his tight end is 212 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: going to get free and be able to find space. 213 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: And it absolutely killed The Cardinals just killed him in 214 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: that game, So they've dialed that down. Part of that 215 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: was the fact that the next two games Isaiah Simmons 216 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: got fifteen and sixteen snaps. He had to earn it back. 217 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: It was the practice habits. It was that attention to detail. 218 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: You listened to guys in that locker room and they'll 219 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: tell you that has been a big difference. And that's 220 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: all the great quarterbacks in this NFL need to beat you, 221 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: to carve you up the mahomes, even Jalen Hurts. Look 222 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: at the adjustment they made an A. J. Brown. He 223 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: had three catches right off the bat and that first 224 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: possession and he got one target the rest of the game. 225 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: What happened there, Well, what happened was the Cardinals are 226 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: given him too much cushion and Jalen Hurts got up 227 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, goes, oh A J. Brown cushion. 228 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: A J. Brown and Deebo Samuel in space. I'll take 229 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: those odds right. Those are the two best in the 230 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: league at yards after catch because they're so tough to tackle. 231 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: And jale Hurts did a great job putting in that 232 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: ball where only A J. Brown could catch it. So 233 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: what did the Cardinals do they adjust to when they 234 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: came to the sideline and they started pressing him, They 235 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: started getting up and space a lot more stopped giving 236 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: them all that room to work and a J. Brown 237 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: and you look at the results. So can you do 238 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: that with a DK Metcalf who's even more physical, even 239 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: bigger Tyler Lockett, who's so slippery, such a great route runner, 240 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: has that elite burst, an explosion to get behind a secondary. 241 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: You do have Antonio Hamilton back this week. You know 242 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: what do you get? Fifteen snaps or so last fifteen 243 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: sixteen and he even admitted afterwards he was he was 244 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: feeling it, but a game under his battle you get 245 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: the rust off. I would expect to see more that 246 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: three corner look. And he's got good size for a corner, 247 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: so okay, you know, and then of course you got 248 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: the best pair of safeties in the league. Two guys 249 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: are good, really fired up in Seattle. I mean, you 250 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: want to see Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson at their 251 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: best take two halves against the Seahawks in Seattle and 252 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: call the football doctor on a Monday morning, because those 253 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: guys come ready to ball. By and Murphy as well, 254 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: anyone those players in that locker room that have Washington 255 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: style ties. Washington, you know, the University of Washington, Washington State. 256 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: They always like and even even listening to Buddha Baker talk. 257 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: When you bring up Seattle, as we did earlier this week, 258 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: the the eyes go big, he starts to smile because 259 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: everyone likes to play, and for Buddha Baker, you play 260 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: in your hometown. So I do think this matchup for 261 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense much different than a week ago because 262 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: the difference, and it's a big difference between a Jalen 263 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: Hurts and Gino Smith. You don't have to worry about 264 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: Smith escaping the pocket scrambling. Maybe more QB snakes, but 265 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: he is not elusive, just turned thirty two years old, 266 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: and I don't think the Cardinals have to worry about 267 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: his scrambling ability like they did and got burned a 268 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: couple of times with Jalen Hurts. They did, and look 269 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: talking to some of the guys. I mean, Gino will 270 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: tuck it and run it. But to your point, he 271 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have the same athleticism as a Jalen Hurts. He 272 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: almost glides, you know, That's the way Jalen Hurts glides, 273 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: whereas Kyler Murray when he runs more quick twitch and explosive. 274 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: That way, Gino has pulled it and run it I'm 275 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: not gonna say he's gone quarterback power like a like 276 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: a Cam Newton in his heyday. But if he sees 277 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity and the DBS have their backs to the 278 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, he will take off. But he is 279 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: a pocket first quarterback right now. He has been making 280 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: great decisions. Nine touchdowns only two picks. Once again, his 281 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: accuracy has been remarkable. All you have to do is 282 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: watch a montage of some of his big plays this year. 283 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: He's throwing into traffic, he's throwing on the money, he 284 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: doesn't hesitate to launch. He's putting a writer over the 285 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: shoulder of his talented receivers. And but look to your 286 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: point about you know, the guys going to Seattle and 287 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: getting energized. That's what Eno Smith told us in the 288 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: Big Red Rage this week. A big theme, especially for 289 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: the offense, has been an I quote, create our own energy. 290 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: They're the only team in the NFL everybody now without 291 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: a point in the first quarter. They've been outscored thirty 292 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: eight nothing in the first quarter. And it hasn't just 293 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: been the offense. Once again, the Eagles got off to 294 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: a fourteen nothing lead. They're in Week five, so it's 295 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Thing is, when you go 296 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: into Seattle, it's just it's self contained. It's you against 297 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: the world. The twelves are unloading on you right behind 298 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: your bench. It's so noisy. It always guarantees the Cardinals 299 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: at least will play with energy and physicality, and I 300 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: think it's one of the big reasons why they have 301 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: won five of the last seven, six of the last 302 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: nine in Seattle. One more quick note on the Seahawks 303 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: and their offense. I brought up Kenneth Walker, their second 304 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: round pick out of Michigan States, and he looked pretty 305 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: good last week, eighty eight yards his first career touchdown. 306 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: So you're gonna see a lot of a new running 307 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: because of the injury to Penny, and that's gonna be 308 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of a different wrinkle. But to me, 309 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: it's okay. Make sure Gino Smith and I can't believe 310 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying this, Paul, make sure Gino Smith does not 311 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: beat you. Because going into this season, everyone was all right, yeah, Seahawks, 312 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: last place, you got Gino Smith as your quarterback, you're 313 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: not gonna win a lot of games. And yeah, they're 314 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: just two and three, but it's how he's performed at 315 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: the expense of what the defense has done, which we 316 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: can get into. But Gino Smith has looked outstanding so 317 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: far this season. It's how he's played, it's how they've 318 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: won games. That defies the peak Carroll formula. He wants 319 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: to play great defense and have a run game. They 320 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: definitely haven't played great defense. They're among the worst in 321 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: the NFL, if not dead, lasting virtually every category that matters. 322 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: As for offense, yeah, they've had a running game, but 323 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: it's with Rashad Penny, who's now done for the season. 324 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: He fractured his lower leg he's having he had season 325 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: ending surgery. He was having a great I mean, he 326 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: had a great game against the Cardinals in the season 327 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: finale week eight year ago with one hundred and ninety 328 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: rushing yards. In fact, his last five games he had 329 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: a buck thirty five plus in every single game or 330 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: shot Penny, so he had really been rolling. Now. As 331 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: for Kenneth Walker, there he was forty first pick overall 332 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: high round two pick. He realized last year in Michigan 333 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: State he led all D one running backs in miss 334 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: tackles and yards after contact. Think about that, that's a 335 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: great combination. You're making guys missing the open field, but 336 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: you're also breaking tackles and getting yards after contact. So 337 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: guys will tell you he's in complete back. What's his 338 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: conditioning like if they're giving him twenty plus touches, we'll see. 339 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: He had the big sixty nine yard touchdown run, not 340 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: much in his other seven carries against the Saints. They 341 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: had a pretty good job containing him other than that 342 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: one big play. But yeah, you know, ideally, you know 343 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: the Seahawks would come out with much better defense and 344 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: much more of a commitment to the run game, which 345 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: is something you haven't seen out of Seattle. One of 346 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: the other big reasons it's been so confounding. It does 347 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: go beyond just Geno Smith. Seahawks also had a d J. Dallas, 348 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: and they claimed Tony Jones off waivers from the Saints. 349 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: Good news for the Cardinals is Richard Lawrence is expected 350 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: to give this Cardinals defense a boost after missing the 351 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: past couple of games with a hand injury. So he's 352 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: always been very good as far as stopping the run, 353 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: being that middle guy along that defensive line, all right, 354 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: So that's kind of what the Seahawks offense looks like 355 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: in defense, this should be at least on paper, and 356 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: we know the game is not played on paper, but 357 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: this should be a get right game for the Arizona 358 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals based off what the Seahawks defense has not been 359 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: able to do for the first five weeks, and that 360 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: is stop anyone from getting into the end zone, from 361 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: gaining yards, whether it's throwing yards or rushing yards. This 362 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: is horrible defense from Pete Carroll's squad. It is. And 363 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know where you want to start. 364 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: I'll start with the rush defense because that's seemingly where 365 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: every player in the locker room starts. We got to 366 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: stop the run, and they're doing anything, but they're allowing 367 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy yards per game on the ground. 368 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: I mean New Orleans just ran it for two hundred 369 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: thirty five yards. They didn't even have Michael Thomas and 370 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, so there was no threat of having to 371 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: defend two of the better receivers in the NFL. As 372 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll said after the game about the Saints, quote, 373 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: they ran it down our throat and that was unacceptable. 374 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: And you know who he ran it with quite a 375 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: bit was Taysom Hill. You know, he had three touchdown 376 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: runs in the game. He had a sixty yard touchdown run. Now, 377 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: he was almost chased down from behind by Tarik Woolen, 378 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: who's the four two six guy, the round five cornerback 379 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: they took to Texas San Antonio, who looks like an 380 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: absolute steal for the Seahawks. He has a pick in 381 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: each of his last three games. He's an absolute burner, 382 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: elite speed. In fact, I Asino Benjamin about Tarik Woolen 383 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage. I said, if you get 384 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: into the open field and you bust one, you know, 385 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: it's sort of like Buddha Baker looking for DK Metcalfe. 386 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: And and you know's response was, that's all right, I 387 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: got a stiff arm for him. So we'll see the 388 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: guy six foot four, he's got reach on he you know, 389 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. But if Taysom Hill can 390 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: run like that, what do you think of Kyler Murray 391 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: could accomplish against the Seahawks defense. I find that really intriguing. Now, 392 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray in this last game, what ran it a 393 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: dozen times and up until that point, and it was 394 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: a Carolina he had run it a dozen times, and 395 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: going into Carolina he had a dozen carries. Now, they 396 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: dialed back the rushing this last week against the Eagles 397 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: until the very end of the game when they truly 398 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: needed it. So how did they start this game? How 399 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: do they read what Taysom Hill did as a dual 400 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: threat quarterback against the Seahawks and does that make its 401 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: way into Cliff Kingsbury's play calling. Well, how about changing 402 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: things up. We have not seen Kyler Murray use his 403 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: legs early end games. It's been the second half when 404 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: he'd decided to kind of call his own number or 405 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: at least utilize that element of his skill set. Do 406 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: we see Kyler Murray a little bit more apt to 407 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: run either his own decision or it's called from the sideline. Remember, 408 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: you know Benjamin is RB one keyanta ingram likely to 409 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: be active for the first time in his early career, 410 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: So maybe by default you need Kyler Murray. Again, it's 411 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: not the number of rushing yards. It's usually the number 412 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: of rushing attempts, just to make it parts of the 413 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: offense to keep that defense on its toes to whether 414 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: they're expecting everything, and that you become a little bit 415 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: too one dimensional. Yeah, Alvin Kamara, now look, he's an 416 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: All Pro. We get it. He had one hundred and 417 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: three yards rushing and ninety one yards were receiving out 418 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: of the backfield for the Saints. Does he know Benjamin 419 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: have that ability to catch the ball? Sure? Absolute Keyanta 420 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: Ingram did a really good job in August for folks 421 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: who are actually working nine to five, and you can 422 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: get a chance to see into the Cardinals practices. Take 423 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: it from us. We saw every practice County. Ingram can 424 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: catch the ball. He can make people miss in the 425 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: open field. He can also lower the shoulder, and he's 426 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: a bigger, heavier back. Once about a time he was 427 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty pounds of Texas they had a 428 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: more of a fullback blocking back type role. Now he's 429 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: closer to two twenty five. Is somewhere between two twenty 430 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: five and two thirty if you talk to count to Ingram, 431 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: but you know, and he definitely has the power to 432 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: be able to run over on one. And you have 433 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: a Seahawks defense that might be missing their big menacing 434 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: defensive tackle Al Woods been dealing with a knee injury 435 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: all week, so they could be further compromised The guy 436 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: to look out for in Seattle's defense is Jordan Brooks, 437 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: the linebacker, and it's one of the reasons they didn't 438 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: bring back Bobby Wagner. And Jordan Brooks was learning under 439 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner effect to the point where Heino Benjamin says, 440 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: you watch the way he plays linebacker. He called it 441 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: a slow read. He sort of takes his time to 442 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: read the play and then burst and reacts. He said, 443 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: that's a Bobby Wagner trait. That's Becuzino studies these linebacker, 444 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: says to how to set him up with his eyes, 445 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: and he hangs out with the old line. They try 446 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: and figure these guys out. So Jordan Brooks at twenty tackles, 447 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: I think in Week eighteen against the Cardinals twenty high, well, 448 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: guess what he played for, Cliff Kingsbury of Texas Tech. 449 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: So when he goes against the Cardinals, he gets fired 450 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 1: up looking at his former college coach on the other sideline. 451 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: So keep an eyelet form number fifty six. Jordan Brooks 452 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: to me, he's the guy you got to worry about, 453 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: rorry about on that Seahawks defense. Brooks eleven tackles last week, 454 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 1: Cody Barton twelve tackles last week, another linebacker to keep 455 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: an eye on. And we talk about being able to 456 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: run against this Seahawks defense, you should also be able 457 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: to throw against this Seahawks defense. Because not only are 458 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: the numbers just such as far as being dead last 459 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: and passing yards allowed per play twenty sixth overall. But 460 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: you look and you brought up to Rrik Woolan. Kobe 461 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: Bryant is a rookie in that secondary. Ryan Neil last 462 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: week made his first start of the season. Played well, 463 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: but remember you go back to Week one. Jamal Adams 464 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: no longer available for that secondary, suffering a season ending injury. 465 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: So perhaps that passing game, which we've talked about a lot, 466 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: just hasn't quite gotten on track. As far as the 467 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: deep shots, is it kingsbar? All right? Do we try 468 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: to run or do we come out of the gates 469 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: and just try to air it out against a suspect 470 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: secondary and if he does air it out, I mean 471 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: there example reason to do so. That Seattle defense is 472 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: allowing the highest yards per attempt in the NFL. They're 473 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: allowing the second highest passer rating one oh six point six. 474 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: Think about it because Kyler Murray right now has the 475 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: lowest passer rating of his career at eighty four point three. 476 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: So use the term get right game, not just for 477 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense, ideally for the Cardinals, for their quarterback 478 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: Kyla Murray has missed some throws, He's missed receivers down field, 479 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: and so if you're gonna get right, it would be 480 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: this game. This team. Don't forget a year ago Cardinals 481 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: went up there. They had a balanced offense with Cole 482 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: McCoy as or quarterback. I think he went thirty five 483 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: or forty four if I remember right. I took a 484 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: look at it earlier this week. What I do remember 485 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: is the Cardinals ran seventy nine plays. They dominated the football, 486 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: They dominated the clock. They had more than forty minutes 487 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: time of possession, more than double Seattle in that game. 488 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: They absolutely silenced the Twelves. It was eerie. It was 489 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: so silent because the Cardinals just sat on the ball, 490 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: had long drives. Until then the Twelves, unloaded started booing 491 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: the home team. Kyler mentioned this past week Paul about 492 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: playing at Looman Field. He really hasn't had that full experience. 493 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: First time. He didn't finish the game, he got hurts, 494 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: but Hunley had to come in and finish off that game. 495 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: Second time around was the Brett Hunley game where he 496 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: took a bow. By the way, he actually led a 497 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: touchdown drive and then he had a couple of big runs. 498 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: Actually pulled it and run it and ran it and 499 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: then they cash it in and he turned to the 500 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: sideline took a bow and everyone just erupted. It was hilarious. 501 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: Second time for Kyler Murray in Seattle, well COVID there 502 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: were no fans in the stands. And then last year 503 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: you referenced it Kyler Murray was hurt. It was Colt McCoy. 504 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: So Kyler Murray hasn't really had that full twelves experience, 505 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: and maybe this is the week for him to kind 506 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: of eliminate these stats. Thirty first and yards per past attempt, 507 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: thirtieth in average pass length, thirty first in average pass 508 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: length completion, and the overall passing game five point four 509 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: yards per play. Those numbers are just startling when it 510 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: comes to Kyler Murray in year four and Cliff Kingsbury 511 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: in year four. That one it's not sustainable. It's gonna change. 512 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: Small sample size if you want to think five games, 513 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: it's a small sample size. It's just alarming when you 514 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: talk about the offense not being able to get on tracked, 515 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: and it's because of the passing game. After the Eagles game, 516 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury used the word anemic at least to describe 517 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense in that first half. So it's a problem, 518 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: it really is. And DeAndre Hopkins ain't walking through that 519 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: door until next week, until Thursday night against the Saints, 520 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: so you have one more game to go. Is it 521 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: realistic though? Is it realistic to think he's going to 522 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: solve all your problems? Well, it'll go a long way. 523 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: It'll dictate a lot of coverage. We know Kyler, when 524 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: he has DeAndre Hopkins out there and they're a double 525 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: team in him or put his safety over top, it 526 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: tends to trickle down to other receivers and he seems 527 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: to go through his reads a lot better when you 528 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: have a d Hop on the field. Now, the Cardinals 529 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: find a little bit of a formula in the second 530 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: half against Philadelphia. They hit Rondel More downfield, actually got 531 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: a chunk throat to Rondale More in that second half. 532 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: More of that, please, you know, there's no doubt the 533 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: bubble screens irk the Cardinals fan base and the Red Sea, 534 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: the eyre the red Sea. I mean I even threw 535 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: out on Twitter at Paul KELVC throughout a quick little 536 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: clip of Laquon Treadwell, the newest Cardinals receiver, former first 537 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: round pick out of Old Miss, and there it was. 538 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: It was just a drill. People. They're just flipping him 539 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: the ball so he can run and have the DBS 540 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: trying size him up in a no contact tackling drill. 541 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: And everyone's like, oh, look at that. It's a horizontal 542 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: bubble screen. Of course it is. Well, yeah, we get it, 543 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: we get it. With the whole Rondale More thing. He 544 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: gets it. He wants the ball downfield. Maybe think about it. Though. 545 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: On third and sixteen he did get a bubble screen 546 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: and go seventeen yards, So that did hit whatever the 547 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: Eagles were doing with their bubble screens, by the way, 548 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: it worked. Yeah. I don't know if they're getting more 549 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: people out blocking in front of the receiver, but they 550 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: were able to find lanes that Cardinals receivers have not 551 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: been able to do for the most part this year. 552 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: When it comes to the horizontal game, so everyone steals 553 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: from everyone. I would look at some of that Eagles 554 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: game film. By the way, you need to let everyone know, 555 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: Paul exactly the number of that treadwell is wearing. And 556 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: if we are now adopting a brand new marketing slogan 557 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: from CALVISI Consulting because the Kwan treadwell, where's seventeen? Moment 558 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: of silence for I Andy. Now remember the Ravens practice 559 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: squad at least to my knowledge at last check, so 560 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: didn't work. Now he's a totally different body type. He's 561 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: six two two fifteen, so maybe he's a little better 562 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: in space or at least out on the perimeter. I'm 563 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: not sure, but we'll see if he factors in. I mean, 564 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: there's no way he's gonna play right as if we record. 565 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: We're recording this, I don't have to be elevated and 566 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: that would come on Saturday. So I'll pay attention to 567 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: those roster moves. And one last note here when we 568 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: talk about the Cardinals as far as a get right 569 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: game with the offense, whether it's rushing or throwing the ball, 570 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: a nod to the offensive line. Last week against the Eagles, 571 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: one sack allowed two quarterback hits and that was without 572 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson. Now, the good news he was on the 573 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: practice field on Friday dealing with a knee injury. I 574 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: certainly would like to see Rodney Hudson on the field, 575 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: But Sean Harlow might have had his best game of 576 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: his career wearing an Arizona Cardinals uniform because there was 577 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: very very little pressure, especially up the middle, and we 578 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: know what interior pressure does to Kyler Murray. But that 579 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: entire offensive line I thought played very well against a 580 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: stout Eagles front. I totally agree. If Rodney Hudson isn't 581 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: close to full health, If Rodney Hudson is not right, 582 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: don't play Sean Harlow a played well enough. He deserves 583 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: another start, and be Rodney Hudson is valuable enough, get 584 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: him right, don't risk it, especially against the worst run 585 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: defense and the first defensive front and in the NFL. 586 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: If Sean Harlow was able to do that against the 587 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: Fletcher Coxes of the world and that loaded Philadelphia defense line, 588 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: then okay, you know, and look here's the other thing 589 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: about that Cardinals offensive line. You gotta go with the 590 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: center who can execute the silent count because that's always 591 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: a factor. That's almost the entirety of the game. Now, 592 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: the good news bad news is you got experienced last 593 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: minute at home with all the Eagles fans, which is 594 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: one reason my own working theory why I think justin 595 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: f he was a little salty after the game, will 596 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: Bit was because he's the guy who has to look 597 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: back at Kyler Murray and then tap the hip of 598 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: the center and that's sort of their cadence in there, 599 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: how they coordinate the silent count, and I think he 600 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: was a little irked he had to do that at 601 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: home to that sort of frequency. But at least you 602 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: got reps at it as an offensive line, and I 603 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: agree with you they are underrated. We've seen some teams 604 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: with some bad offensive lines this year. It hasn't been 605 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. I mean even the Rams right now. Joe 606 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: Nope Boom is getting absolutely torched as their left hack. 607 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: We're at placing Hendrew with Whitworth. They have a problem 608 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: with the Rams right now, and it's called their offensive line. 609 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: And guess what, you can have all the talent weapons 610 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: in the world if you're line is a liability and 611 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: your quarterback has turned into a crash test dummy like 612 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford has been, then you have no chance and 613 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: that has been a real issue for LA. Next gen 614 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: stats for the Arizona Cardinals their old line allowing the 615 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: fourth lowest pressure rate among all thirty two teams, something 616 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: that we have not talked a lot about. It's always 617 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: been the offensive issues running the ball, Ky they're not 618 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: running enough, the deep ball threat. But the offensive line 619 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: is doing its job. It's the other six players on 620 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: the field. And yeah, we'll give some credit to the 621 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: tight ends as well, you know, Benjamin and others, as 622 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: far as the running backs picking up some of those 623 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: blitz but yeah, the offensive line always better not to 624 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: be talked about because that means you're doing your job. 625 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: And the only time we do talk about the old 626 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: line is when someone misses a block or allows a sack. 627 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: But let's give them some love, especially what they've had 628 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: to deal with to the first five games. And I'll 629 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: leave you with this, you know, Benjamin, it's the never 630 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: ending search for what is going on to start games, 631 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: what is hampering this Cardinal's offense? Why have they not 632 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: scored a single point in the first quarter? And I asked, 633 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: you know, for an answer. I didn't expect to get 634 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: an answer. Nobody seemingly as answers, but you know, did 635 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: give a little tibit I thought was interesting. He said, 636 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: you know what, there's too often, too many guys are 637 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: in the wrong spot and they're clouding windows. That was 638 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: the terminology he used. Too many guys are too close 639 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: to each other, i e. In the wrong spot in 640 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: terms of routes spacing, and it's proving to be a 641 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: problem for Kyler Murray because he's not getting the spacing 642 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: he needs. Like in basketball, you need spacing in the 643 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: entire chord, and that's going to give you more separation. 644 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna make your passes easier. You're seemingly gonna get 645 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: more room to operate. And if guys are messing that up, 646 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: not to the degree and maybe the Raiders at the 647 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: end of that game the other night of Monday night, 648 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: or Davante Adams and Hunter Renfroll ran into each other, 649 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: But if you have wrong guys in the wrong spot, 650 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: are too close to each other, and you're clouding windows, 651 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: then yeah, I feel for the quarterback in that case, 652 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: because it's difficult enough to get a passing game going 653 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: downfield in the NFL without that happening. So if you're 654 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: telling me that's an issue, does that get better with 655 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins everybody knows the role a little bit better. 656 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but it does tell me it's correctable. 657 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: And it's not a matter if you don't have the talent, 658 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: you don't have the skill, you don't have a good 659 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: enough offense. It is correctable. So if you can't improve 660 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: the attention to detail, seemingly there is a solution out there. 661 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: And that's something that we've heard a lot this week, 662 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: the walkthrough on Wednesday, practice, Thursday, and Friday. Attention to 663 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: detail more above the shoulder work this week than the 664 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: physical work because five opening drives this season, three three 665 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: and outs. That cannot continue, especially this week against a 666 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: Seahawks defense and just a Seahawks team that again on paper, 667 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: it's not played on paper, but on paper, you are 668 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: better than the Seattle Seahawks. And look, the Seattle Seahawks 669 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: have allowed in the last three games a total of 670 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: one hundred three points. I'm sorry, they have scored one 671 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: hundred three points in the last three games and they 672 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: lost two out of three. Even Pete Carroll said, and 673 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: I quote I would have thought that would be plenty 674 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: of points to win all those games. So we'll see. 675 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: We'll see. Can the Cardinals be the next team to 676 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: put a lot of points on the board and then 677 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: get ready for your Thursday night home game against the Saints, 678 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: because if they can, if they struggle against this defense, 679 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: this Seattle defense that once again is the thirty first 680 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: scoring defense in the NFL, allowing thirty one points per game, 681 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 1: basically the dead last total defense in the NFL, dead 682 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: last and rushing defense twenty six and passing defense, if 683 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals can't get in gear this game, then maybe 684 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: there is legitimate reason for concern. We'll see. We'll see. 685 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: The track record has always been good in Seattle, and 686 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: you know it, starts have never been an issue against 687 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, just based on the hostility from the crowd 688 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: and how the players react to it. They love it, 689 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: even you know, Benjamin in the Big Red Rage said, 690 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: just love the fact they're booing you, and it just 691 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: becomes okay, I'll show you wrong. That is a mindset 692 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: and you hope that. And look if they you move 693 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: it back to two thirty because of baseball greet, then 694 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: don't tell the Cardinals. That's my other theory. Don't tell 695 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, tell them it still starts at one o'clock, 696 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: so boom. By the time we hit the two thirty mark, 697 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals should be rolling and forget about the first 698 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: quarter of Wolves. Right now, one oh five is the kickoff. 699 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 1: If a game four is necessary between the Astros and Mariners, 700 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: then yeah, kickoff will be moved to two thirty again. 701 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: Keep it lockdaysy cardinals dot com for all the latest 702 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: is the Cardinals look to even their record at three 703 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: and three, and on that note, we will put a 704 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: lid on.
