1 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Red see what's up. The vibes are back in the valley. 2 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: The vibes are back here at the Cardinals headquarters in 3 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: TMP after that thirty one to seventeen victory over the 4 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Hey, what can we say? All the vibes, 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: all the all the positivity, it's all back after you know, 6 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: not having Kylie, not having Dhob. But what a better 7 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: way to end Week nine with their eighth victory of 8 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: the season and they're back at the top of the 9 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: NFL standings. You know what better way to start off 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: This Morning Scramming presented by Verizon, joined by Jody Jackson, 11 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: Danny Shry Craig Griliu. I'm your host Felipe Jr. Then 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: to talk about a team that you know, record wise, 13 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: are the best in the NFL. Jody, what'd you like yesterday? 14 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: Oh man, there was a lot to like, right guys. 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you go into this game, you don't have 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and I was watching reports from yourself, Philippe 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: and Darren Urban and Paul KELVC on the scene and 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, he's not coming out for warm up. 19 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure he brought his pads or any 20 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: of the stuff he uses to actually play on the field. 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was not going in this game. No DeAndre Hopkins, 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: no aj Green. We saw Justin Pugh weave early. We 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: saw Chase Edmonds leave early in this game. And again 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: it was a case of everyone stepping up. It's like 25 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: they did not miss a beat, and you try to 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: look at why, how does that happen? Every team would 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: love that to happen, right because it's the curveballs in 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: the season that send teams reeling, and so this team 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: has been throwing a lot of curveballs. They were without 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: their head coach in Cleveland. You know, there's been all 31 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: of these things that have happened, and I just think 32 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: it's a credit to Steve Kay. I'm building this the 33 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: way that they're built, with the depth that they have, 34 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: and Cliff Kingsbury coaching this team all the little details. 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: It's for me. I was watching meeting, coaching, meeting, execution 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: at the highest levels. So Philippe, it was it was 37 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: just all to watch and James Connor with a big 38 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: day and then we're gonna go through a lot of it. 39 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: But um, just a team that was completely ready and 40 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: prepared for this moment, and you talked about Cliff Kingsbury 41 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: obviously had he had I think his best coaching day yesterday, 42 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: given that he didn't have Kylie Murray. But let's use 43 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: that to segue into our main dish, because usually kind 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: of have an idea of who he's going to give 45 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: his game balls too right after, you know, after the game, 46 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: during his victory speech. But I was surprised at some 47 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: of the game balls that he gave it, that he 48 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: gave away. I'm a proud as a lum. I know 49 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna see, you know, an ac alum get his 50 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: flowers after the game during that victory speech. But let's 51 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: hear from coach. Let's see what he got to say. 52 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: Great effort from the start, had great week of practice, 53 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: we got back in the process. I knew we're gonna 54 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: play well. You played drafts off hey, game balls all right? 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: With two fun more recoveries number fifty eight, Jordan Hicks 56 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: two rushing tits, one receiving, and now the NFL's leader 57 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: in touchdowns James Conner number twenty six, eno which a 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: career high three sacks, number forty four Up. This dude 59 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: shows up every day grinds, works his ass off. He 60 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: told me all right when we signed him, I'll start, Hey, 61 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: you could be a great mentor do all this, and 62 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: he's like, hey, man, I can still play cold McCoy 63 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: grid Hey, last, but not least, it's a big one, fellas. 64 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: Now the all time sack leader in the history. There's 65 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: going to call me. Listen. That feels great. That feels good. 66 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: How good that feels rolling? Now, I don't know what 67 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: we're gonna do, is we do it together together? On three? 68 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: There you go for all you proud as a lump, 69 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin with the game ball, Chandler Jones at 70 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: the end. You know, when you talk about vibes, that's 71 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: the type of locker room that you want to have 72 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: when your team is eight and one. Obviously, winning really 73 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: cares everything or really fixes everything. That sets that tone 74 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: for that locker room. And you add the editions of 75 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: all the veterans that Steve Kim added this offseason, just 76 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: you know, I would want to be in that locker room. 77 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: But you know, kings Ray obviously couldn't necessarily give himself 78 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: a game ball. If I was kings Ray, I think 79 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm out of like slid one, you know, under my 80 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: armpit or something like that, after the coaching day that 81 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: he had yesterday. And you know, we love our fans 82 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: here at the Arizona Cardinals, and we always want to 83 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: hear from our fans. And one of the questions that 84 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: someone asked on Twitter was, you know, in the game 85 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: they would have been forgiven for losing because of injuries, 86 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: because not having K one and having d High. Obviously 87 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: you lost enemies in Jessic Pugue early on in the game. 88 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: Should people be giving him more credit? Craig Reluke Absolutely. 89 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about it at this point. 90 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: It's year three now. I still think the best win 91 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: this season was at the Rams. But for Kingsbury, his 92 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: best win personally, and I don't know if he'll ever 93 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: admit it was Sunday at San Francisco to show that 94 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: he can win without Kyler Murray, he can win without 95 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: your top two wide receivers. And then, as Jody mentioned, 96 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: no Justin Pugh, no Chase Evans. That's five offensive starters 97 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: that were not on the field for the bulk of 98 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: that game. There were some end game adjustments and a 99 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: great coaching plan set up ahead of the matchup to 100 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: allow the Cardinals not only just win, but win convincingly. 101 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: So I do think for Cliff Kingsbury to kind of 102 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: get that separation just a little bit. Quarterback and head coach. 103 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: They're always tied together, but just to show that, hey, 104 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm still able to do what I want to do 105 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: from an offensive standpoint, even if I don't have k one. Hey, 106 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: Danny on this main dissegment with you, I want to 107 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: strike a little bit of a little debate here. You 108 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: know you hear you heard Craig talk about how you 109 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: know the Rams was Kingsbury's best victory. I tweeted this 110 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: morning that Tennessee, given that now they're at the top 111 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: of the AFC, where does where does this victory rinka 112 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: among the Kingsbury resume in twenty twenty one? Would I 113 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: would have to agree. I think if it's not the first, 114 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: it's probably the second biggest win of the season in 115 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: terms of the team. I think Cleveland, but we all 116 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: know Cliff Kingsbury didn't even travel because he's on the 117 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: covid L. I still think he gets credit for that game, 118 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: the way he prepared his team and his coaching staff. 119 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: But this was a huge win. And I think to 120 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: carry off of what Craig was saying, it's not just 121 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: the game he called or the in game adjustments he made. 122 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: This again goes back to the preparation that he put 123 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: upon his team all week in the mentality of understanding 124 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: that just because we might not have our starting quarterback 125 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: or our top two receivers, you know, that doesn't mean 126 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: that they're out of it. It doesn't mean they don't 127 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: have enough depth to carry this team and find a 128 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: way to win. And I think that all starts with 129 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: practice in the week. So while this was a great 130 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: game coached by Cliff Kingsbury, I also think you have 131 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 1: to go back to the way he prepared this team 132 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: this week, and I think that played a large role 133 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: in their victory and their ability to adjust to adversity, 134 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: not just at the start of the game, but throughout 135 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: the game when they were dealing with more injuries. I mean, 136 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: I'll have to disagree with with Danny and Craig to 137 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: end the semi segment. I still think that Tennessee victory 138 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: stands out just given you know, they beat the Bills, 139 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: they beat the Rams on the road without Derrick Henry. 140 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: You know, that that Titans victory is looking I love 141 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: juicy for there was a Cardinals. Well, hey, a victory's 142 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: a victory. The team is eight and one at the 143 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: top of the NFL standing, so none of us can 144 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: really complain. So okay, Philippe, you know what I mean. 145 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: I think they're just better. In the words of j J, 146 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: They're just better. And isn't that why everyone is a 147 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: Cardinal fan out there is so happy today because your 148 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: leadership for your NFL team has built something where it's 149 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: like you can overcome adversity. Yeah, and by the way, 150 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: just a note on Cliff Kingsbury. I agree, called a 151 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: great game, saw some amazing plays and was not afraid 152 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: to feed James Connor. But you know, again, having a quarterback, 153 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: this was part of the reason for selecting him as 154 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: the head coach Michael Bidwell and and Steve Kin because 155 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: it matters, you know, the bond he has with Kyler Murray, 156 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: the bond he has with Colton McCoy. He has a 157 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: quarterback mentality when he's preparing these games. And we all 158 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: know the quarterback leads the way. If you don't have 159 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: trust in that guy, uh, the others will not follow. 160 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: And you know, I know defensively they're a different unit 161 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: and that they've got Vance Joseph over there. So that 162 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: was another, you know, great move to build the staff. 163 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: But I love that Kingsbury in these moments. You know, 164 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: you see the fact that he's thinking like a quarterback 165 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: and he knew, you know, if they could hit on 166 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: those big plays and get out. Obviously the turnovers helped 167 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: U with the Niners with the two lost fumbles. You know, 168 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: you can you you hit on a couple of those 169 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: big plays and you do exactly what they did yesterday, 170 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: which was staying in control of the game. Philippe's the way, 171 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: can't Philipe, I can't let you have the last word 172 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: on this. Even though the host of this, yeah, I 173 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: even though there's some disagreement, you saw what I did that, Craig, 174 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: I try to use my you know, my host status 175 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: to kind of rep it up and be like, you know, 176 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: y'all are wrong, I'm right. Well, we'll go ahead to Craig. 177 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: The best win is the next win. I'm gonna go 178 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: with the Buddha Baker and the one and O mentality 179 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: because these games become more and more important as we 180 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: get into to late November, December and into January. So 181 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: the best win is the next win. Craig, Craig Craig. 182 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: So you sound like a player, and I win. I 183 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: win the last word, move on. I'll summarize it with 184 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: this Jordan Phillips tweet. They can't stop the run, they 185 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: can't rush the pastor d line needs help. Bring somebody in. 186 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: Just shut up and watch the tape eight in one 187 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: hashtag right up. Hey, you heard it from Jordan Phillips. 188 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: That's your main dish. Let's move over to our favorite 189 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: moment of the game. Are that's so my jam Jody, 190 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: what you got? Oh you're gonna like this one, Philip 191 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: ag and it has a stunt double vibe. You know, 192 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: Benjamin gets the chance, gets his first NFL touchdown, and 193 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, I think we've all been a fan of 194 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: the way this young anna has worked and you know, 195 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: created this opportunity for himself because I think Cliff Kingsbury 196 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: said it after the game, you know, wasn't sure if 197 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: he would make it. I mean, he came in as 198 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: a as a guy that was just signed rookie free agent, 199 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: and you know it's just a situation where he made 200 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: a spot and you know, you don't want Chase Edmonds 201 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: to go down. You never want to see injury. But 202 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: he was able to carry a little bit of the 203 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: load in this game and just ran over Drake Kirkpatrick. 204 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: That was a thing of beauty. You talked about nasty 205 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: football in this game. You had to love that. So 206 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: eno Benjamin's touchdown a little bit icing on the cake there, 207 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: and that was my jam. Craig, what was your jam 208 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: in this game? It was not a play And there's 209 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: a lot of Cliff Kingsbury love here. So I'm going 210 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: to go with the verbal exchange between coach and Josh Norman, 211 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: or as Kingsbury noted postgame, the friendly banter and just 212 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: the emotion from the head coach. We've seen that more 213 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: and more this season out and I might just be 214 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: because cameras are catching it and we didn't see that 215 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: in year one or year two. But then also DJ Humphreys, 216 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: the protector of the blindside to the quarterback, also the 217 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: protector of the head coach coming over to get in 218 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: the face of Josh Norman. So there is a lot 219 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: of respects for players and coaches on both sides, but 220 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: in the heat of the battle it was good to see. 221 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: Now at the end results of that, it was still 222 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: a field goal, but it did prolong the play and 223 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: the Cardinals were able to benefit from that and two 224 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: penalties that happened after the fact. So I liked that 225 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: as my jam in that game. What about you, Danny, 226 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with running back James Connor's third touchdown 227 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: three guys. First career game where he had three touchdowns, 228 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: he was simply on another level Sunday Afternoon ninety six rushing, 229 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: seventy seven receiving yards, two rushing, one receiving touchdown. He 230 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: was all over the place, which is exactly what they 231 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: needed from him, especially when you have your guard Justin 232 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: pughgo out, running back Chase Edmonds go out with injuries. 233 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: We mentioned they were without Kyler Murray, their top two 234 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: receivers and DeAndre Hopkins and aj Green. This is why 235 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: they brought in James Connor and so to have that 236 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: third touchdown, it was a short pass to go for 237 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: forty five yards. He outram four or five defenders. We've 238 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: seen it every game this season of James Connor really 239 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: putting the nail on the coffin to secure these wins. 240 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: And usually it's him grinding it out in the fourth quarter, 241 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: but this was in the third quarter. I mean, he 242 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: was just phenomenal. Nobody could touch. I mean now leads 243 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: the league with eleven touchdowns. Just a great performance by 244 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: James Connor. That was. That third touchdown was really the 245 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: the icing, you know, the icing on the cake. Danny. 246 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: But Craig, if I if I ever get in some 247 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: dispute like that, are you are you gonna be my 248 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: DJ Humphreys much despite the fact that you were wrong 249 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: earlier in the show, I will be your personal protector, 250 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: Philae They no question cute I want. I can picture 251 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw when when Kingsbury 252 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: was talking to Norman and to the reff or whatnot, 253 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and in the back was like ready, he 254 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: was waiting for his moment. I see either Danny or 255 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: Jody as my DeAndre Hopkins if I'm ever in that scenario. 256 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: So kind of the backup to the backup, right, like 257 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: the backup to the backup. So if I ever get 258 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: in any dispute, I know I have you guys to 259 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: back me up. So I appreciate that is just as 260 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: intimidating as DJ Humphreys, right, Greig, Oh yeah, we're at 261 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: the same level. All wrap it up. Bout talking about 262 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: that Christian Kirk forty was it a forty thirty three 263 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: yard completion to Anton Wesley? Talk about another guy that 264 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: stepped up. Anton Wesley had a very quiet, productive game 265 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: as well. But Christian Kirk, I think we have a 266 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: graphic he That thirty yard completion and fifty yard reception 267 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: at San Francisco makes him the first player in Cardinals 268 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: history with a completion of thirty yards thirty plus yards 269 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: and the reception of fifty plus yards in the same game. 270 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: I tweeted before the game too, like, you know, with 271 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: all these people missing, you guys have to start him 272 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: in your fantasy teams, at least at a flex position 273 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: or whatever. I hate to say. I told you so. 274 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: You guys know I love being right. I'm right, you 275 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: know ninety nine percent of the time I'm right. And 276 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: that was another scenario where I just happened to be right. Yeah, 277 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: if y'all didn't start Christian Kirk, shame on you. I 278 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: told you guys to start him. And just like the 279 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: versatility that Christian brought to the table. Given that there 280 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: was no Green, there was no DeAndre Hopkins. Obviously, Chase 281 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: Heedmans went out. He was that guy that that depended on. 282 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: And you know, I paid dividends, especially for those that 283 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: listen to me and started him in your game fantasy lineup. 284 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: See but a way to and what a way to 285 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: end segments, right, I just top it off by saying, 286 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: I'm right, listen to Philippe. I will say this, and 287 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't think you wait on this. Philippe weight in 288 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: on it. But rondel Moore, a lot of people were 289 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: predicting a big game, and you know it just I think, 290 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's got to get a little bit of confidents. 291 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: Back ball security has been a little bit of an issue. 292 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: So but this team's got so many weapons that you're right, 293 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk was kind of a no brainer. I want 294 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: to on Eno, I feel like I knew it right 295 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: when I said it. I misspoke a seventh round pick 296 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: by the Cardinals. But again, Eno, Benjamin, you never think 297 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: that that's gonna maybe happen him getting a touchdown, but 298 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: when Chase went down. But yeah, Phelippe, we like the 299 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: little fantasy tips early in the day. You know on 300 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: a Sunday, it can't hurt. You know, I'm no fantasy 301 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: here expert. I just take the facts, you know, no 302 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: key players, and then I just tweet out you know 303 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: what'll come to my mind. You know that's that's the 304 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: way my brain works here. So that's it flour all right, 305 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: that's my jam. Let's transition over to our Rise and Shine. 306 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: A lot of worthy players to talk about. There's gonna 307 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: be some some honorable mentions that we might not necessarily 308 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: get to, but these four players really stepped up on Sunday. Jody, 309 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: you go first, What's what happens when I'm able to 310 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: respond on the group text? First? I picked James Connor, Right, Yeah, 311 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: this one is sort of a no brainer as the 312 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: player of the game because again he really stood out 313 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: carried the load. As Danny talked about a little bit, 314 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: just what he was able to do in the passing game. 315 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: What a beautiful play call right there in Colton McCoy 316 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: having that veteran patience a little bit to beat the 317 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: blitz find Connor and then he just did the rest. 318 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: And I think he's proving to a lot of people 319 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: that maybe didn't know he's just this power back. He's 320 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: a guy that was going to be a compliment to 321 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: Chase Edmunds. He's capable of doing a little bit of everything. 322 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: And honestly, when the Cardinals miked him up earlier in 323 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: the season, I had a whole new view of James Connor, 324 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: what he does for the sideline, what he does for 325 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: the team. And as he was getting the ball more 326 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: and more, and we know he is physical. He can 327 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: you know, he can run inside, he can run outside. 328 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: But he loves the stiff arm. He loves to run 329 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: over people. And then he brings that pre game, during 330 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: the game and just all of that energy. I actually 331 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: I like to see a feature maybe on his I 332 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: think he's like a gymnast in his spare time. I 333 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: mean I've seen him do like like a little um 334 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: like cool like jumps and things in the pre game. 335 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's like the energizer bunny out there. So 336 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: I think he's James Connor a man of many talents. 337 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: We saw a lot of them yesterday. He was able 338 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: to do in the run game, pass game. He was 339 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: up to the task, and again the whole team I 340 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: think fed off of that. So James Connor is my 341 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: Risin shoon player, Craig, what about you? Really surprised the 342 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers allowed James Connor to get away and the 343 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals getting him middle of free agency A really great signing, Jody. 344 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: I like that. I'm going to go on the opposite 345 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: side defense and Marcus Golden, who filled up the stat sheet. 346 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: I gotta read this off otherwise because I can't remember 347 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: all of it, but five tackles, three tackles for loss, 348 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: three sacks, and three quarterback hits and he did all 349 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: that in less than fifty percent of the defensive snaps. 350 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: He has really come on over the last several games 351 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: and really stepping up. Because everyone focused on JJ Watter 352 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: earlier in the season, then it was Chandler Jones, people 353 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: kind of lose sight of what Marcus Golden has done defensively, 354 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: and I think he's been able to take advantage of 355 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: the attention on others and really get into the back 356 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: field and make things difficult for opposing offenses. And I 357 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: like what Golden had to say post game. I'm always hunting, 358 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: regardless of who's playing, who's not, what the game is, 359 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: what it matters, what the stakes are. He brings it 360 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: each and every week, and I don't know if there's 361 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: a player in that Cardinal's locker room that enjoys being 362 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinals player more than Marcus Golden. So that's 363 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: my rise and shine player of Sunday's contest. Danny Europe. Guys, 364 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: we can't go this whole time without talking about Colt McCoy, 365 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: who stepped up, and Kyler Murray's absence. Kyler Murray missed 366 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: the first game of his career with an ankle injury, 367 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: so it was backup Cult McCoy. He went twenty two 368 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: of twenty six two hundred and fifty yards a touchdown. 369 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: While we all knew that Colt McCoy has these skills 370 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: as a backup quarterback to filling when needed, he's only 371 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: started six games in the last six years. He was composed, 372 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: he was accurate, and we heard from his teammates leading 373 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: up to this game all last week that they trusted 374 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: Cult McCoy when his leadership in the huddle, of his 375 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 1: ability to read defenses. But he just truly stepped up. 376 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: This offense did not miss a beat with him, and 377 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: this is what you hope for when you bring in 378 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. Is you hope you never have to 379 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: use them, but if you do, you're not going to 380 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: have to really change the game plan or how you're 381 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: utilizing your offensive weapons. And I think they really took 382 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: advantage of what Culte McCoy brought to this team. He 383 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: stepped up, led the offense to another win. Great performance, 384 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: really great job stepping up when this team needed him. 385 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: And Danny turnover free football on the road by Coot 386 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: McCoy is going to get you your fifth road victory. 387 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: The cars are five and oh on the road. And 388 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: you know that fifth victory comes at a clutch sign 389 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: from from cult So yeah, you got to give him 390 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: his love. You know, he doesn't really get his love. 391 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: I always feel bad, you know, I see so humble 392 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: and to himself and out of the swatlight. So hey, 393 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: here's your love, Culte McCoy, here your flowers. So I'll 394 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: wrap it up by talking about Hey, Chandler Jones all 395 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: time leader, all time franchise leader in sacks after getting 396 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: his first SAC since week one yesterday, sixty seven sacks, 397 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: the most in Cardinals franchise history. A lot of people, 398 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: you know, been getting on Chandler lately talking about his sacks. 399 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: How he hasn't you know, had one since week one. 400 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: He always says, you know, there's a multitude of ways 401 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 1: to impact the game. Harry's pressure's quarterback, kids. You know, 402 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: he alleviates some pressure from from Marcus Golden. And you 403 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: see at you see the level that Marcus Golden is playing, 404 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: and you know a lot of it has to do 405 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: with his own talent, but I'm pretty sure he benefits 406 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: from the tension that Chandler Jones receives. So Chandler Jones, 407 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: here your flowers, congrats some being the all time leader 408 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: in sacks and Arizona Cardinals history a much deserve. And 409 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: hopefully in these next couple of weeks, his sacks come 410 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: in bunches and people can stop getting on him. I 411 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: saw a tweet that they're making fun of his hairline too, 412 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: like stat Muse tweeted a picture of of how he 413 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: became the all time leader in sacks and they actually 414 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: gave him my hairline. And if you guys know, Chandler, 415 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: he's bothered right now. And he actually made a joke 416 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: about it and he was like, hey, that's my natural hairline. 417 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: You know, someone said it looked like an iPhone it 418 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: had me a week, you know, I saw that. I 419 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: gotta say Felipe though, and Danny and Craig, I know 420 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: y'all saw it as well. How cool was that he 421 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: had the shirt with Freddie Joe Nunn, who had played 422 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: for the Cardinals from eighty five to ninety three, recently 423 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: passed away, and he said Marcus Golden actually said I 424 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: think in the press conference that he and Chandler have 425 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: been watching video of him and I just thought that 426 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: was a really great tribute appreciating the past and the 427 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: history of the organization. And uh yeah, well deserved to Chandler. Congrats. 428 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he's the guy that I think. You're right, Phelipe, 429 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: I think the sacks are going to start to come 430 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: a little bit more. You know, the game is a funny. 431 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: It's a funny game. You know, sometimes they don't come 432 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: in a little batch of games, and that's what we 433 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: just saw with Chandler. So hopefully he'll continue to be 434 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: disruptive and get on the stat sheet. And Danny, I 435 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: just want to give you a shout out real quick 436 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: because our Rising Shine segment was really you know, it 437 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: kind of it came to mind based on your tweet 438 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot. It was a game of first for 439 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: these Arizona Cardinals. Golden his first three SAG game in 440 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: his career, Chandler obviously, you know the franchise sacked leader 441 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: with sixty seven. James Conner first three touchdown game in 442 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: his career, Eno first career touchdown, A game of first 443 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: for those in the Cardinals props. See you, Danny for 444 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: tweeting that I took it. You know, I'm giving you 445 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: a solid tweets. Linebacker Jordan Hicks first game where he 446 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: had multiple fumble recovery was Christian Kirk's first past completion. 447 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: It also was the first game in Kyler Murray's career 448 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: that he missed with an injury. But I didn't feel 449 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: like that was as exciting of a stat to include 450 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: in that first week. But that was the first positive eves. 451 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: Positive eves. Please in honor of Craig, Jody and myself, 452 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: if you are a rising shine for this episode for 453 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: this morning scramble. So there you go. That's our rising 454 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: shin practice. I'm filling him for Rwanda. I don't have 455 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: to breakfast, but I do appreciate that. All right, that'll 456 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,239 Speaker 1: do it for our rise and shine let's wrap up 457 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: this this episode by bringing home the bacon, and I 458 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: have a lot to get off my chest, So give 459 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: me a minute. Because you know, every week that the 460 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals find a way to win, it's always people talking 461 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: about what the other team didn't do. You know, you 462 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: start talking about, Oh, Jimmy Gee, he's you know, he's 463 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: no longer the quarterback that he used to be, cal 464 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: shining hands on the hot seat. You talk about the 465 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what went wrong with the Rams. People 466 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: talking about the Rams, the Bills, loss of the Jaguarars, 467 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: the Titans beat the Rams on the road without Derek Henry, 468 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: the Cardinals beat the Titans, and it just it stresses 469 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: me out, y'all because I know it's stairs on the Cardinals. 470 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: For the most part, they don't necessarily get the national attention, 471 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: the love that most teams get. I mean, if you 472 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: think about it, if the Bucks are eight and one, 473 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: you're talking about Super Bowl contenders. If the Rams are 474 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: eight and one, you're talking about the same thing. If 475 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: even the package, you know everything that's going on with 476 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: the package, and somehow, some way, people just still find 477 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: a way to discredit the Cardinals. Oh it's because of injuries. 478 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: Oh it's because of this, Because of that. At some point, 479 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,479 Speaker 1: you just got to give the Arizona Cardinals some credit. 480 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: And they're in this unique position once again compared to 481 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: the last you know, last year, they control their own 482 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: destiny and you know, you know how that ended. They 483 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: didn't make the postseason. This year, they're in a similar 484 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: position where they control their own destiny. But this time 485 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: they have a lot of worthy veteran veterans James Connor, 486 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: aj Green, Rodney Hudson, Jordan Phillips finally back. They have 487 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: a complete roster to finally get over that hump. And 488 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: all I want to see is people give them the 489 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: credit that they deserve, not only because obviously this is 490 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: a show on the Arizona Cardinals platform, but at the 491 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: end of the day, the Bills lost to the Jaguars 492 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: nine to six, the Rams lost to the Titans at 493 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: home without Derrick Henry, I mean, come on, and then 494 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: obviously everything that's going on with the Green Bay Packers, 495 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers missing because of COVID and whatnot. They lost 496 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: the Chiefs yesterday. The Cardinals are back on top, and 497 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: they went on the road and they dominated. I mean, 498 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: we mentioned all the cute players that they were missing. 499 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: You know, they lost Jase Sediments, just some pugue mid game, 500 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: and other guys stepped up. Anytime you have a team 501 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: where the next man that can produce just as much 502 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: as your starter, that means you have a complete team. 503 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: So that's all I wanted to say. I was thinking 504 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: about this on my flight back to Arizona and I'm like, man, 505 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: come on, yeah, I like, why can't why can't Danny, 506 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: Why can't people give us our flyers quickly? You know, 507 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: I don't have an answer, because they haven't just been 508 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: good teams. They completely dominated under adversity almost every week 509 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: this season. But I will safely, but I almost think 510 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: it might be better that this team at this point 511 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: isn't having a lot of national media attention because not 512 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: only the players that were here last year where they 513 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: were off to a good start didn't make the playoffs. 514 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: In general, we see a lot of teams in the 515 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: league who string together a lot of wins, go on 516 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: a hot and you know, they just kind of start 517 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: to smell themselves. They get a little high, and then 518 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: you lose a game, you start to lose focus, and 519 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: then that starts to unravel, and so I think just 520 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: whatever is working for this team that wont in o mentality, 521 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: fighting through the adversity, everybody being ready to step up. 522 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: I don't think they honestly really care about the national 523 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: attention or you know, people patting them on the back 524 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: giving them the praise they deserve, because they know in 525 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: that locker room, those are the people whose opinions matter, 526 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: and you have to work hard and do your best 527 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: every day for those people in that locker room with you. So, 528 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: while I agree with you, I'm not sure why this 529 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: team has not received more attention or praise than they have. 530 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: Everyone does seem to give them excuses. I really don't 531 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: think the players and coaches seem to mind or care 532 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: what anyone else thinks, because they're not focused on any 533 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: of that, which is good. Yeah, Danny, I think it 534 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: is good for this team. I think you hit on 535 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: it because it keeps them grounded. But they're grounded coming in. 536 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: They know Felipa you mentioned last year, and they knew 537 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: they were in a good spot and it just came apart, 538 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: and obviously there was and injured the kayler and some 539 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: guys were banged up, but they're more prepared this year 540 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: to battle that, and it's just you know, I also 541 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: want to give some credit before we wrap up the 542 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: show to the guys on the line of scrimmage. And 543 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: we did talk about, you know, Marcus Golden and Chandler 544 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: Jones a little bit, so you know when you talk 545 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: about what they did on defense, but the offensive line 546 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: defensively also handling that rushing attack thirty nine yards, that 547 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: was all the Niners got I believe if I read 548 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: that correctly in the final stats, I mean, really great 549 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: job physically, And I know Colt McCoy talked about that. 550 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: He said, like I knew I was gonna have to 551 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: get the ball out quick. Their front is very good, 552 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: but those guys held up well, and I think it 553 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: was just a great effort by the coaches on both 554 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: sides too to be able to do what they needed 555 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: to do and a line of scrimmage. So perhaps to 556 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: those guys. We don't want to be all about the 557 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: skill guys here. We want to give some shout out 558 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: to those linemen, especially those that had to fill in. Okay, 559 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: I just want to hear from you quickly, just because 560 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: I want to hear from you. How about this stat 561 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals had thirty rushing attempts forty nine ers finished 562 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: with thirty nine rushing yards. And the way to earn 563 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: national attention and respect just keep winning. Just keep winning. 564 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: It's that simple, because then you can't be denied. Hey, Craig, 565 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: you should be on the King's Ray coaching staff. That's 566 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: why I go to Craig ten. You know, thirty nine 567 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: rushing attempts, thirty nine yards? Like, who else comes up 568 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: with that stack?
