You chose not to come? 48 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: Well, I had another assignment of prior engagement. I was 49 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 3: on assignment, let's put it that way, with our old 50 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 3: radio producer Yoda in the instown of Seattle. So we 51 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: were out there. So how did it go? Let me 52 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 3: just cut to the chase. Was Grayson? 53 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: There? 54 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: Was Grayson there? 55 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: Grayson was there? Okay, copious amounts of sushi as usual. 56 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: For those who don't know whatuld we compare metabolism to 57 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: Last year? I think it was a hummingbird. No, No, 58 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: that can't be right, is it this year? This year, 59 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: I think we're going to compare her metabolism to cocaine bear. 60 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: That would be the twenty twenty three comparison. I mean, 61 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 3: never have you seen someone. 62 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: That better be clipped for Gray defy? 63 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 4: Are you allowed to say that you've never. 64 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: Seen someone defy the scouting report like Grayson? 65 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: I mean, here's a reason her nickname is fat Gray, 66 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: and she doesn't look anything like that. 67 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: It's just the opposite, you know. So anyway, I'm just curious. 68 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 4: Cocaine probably shouldn't. 69 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably shouldn't. 70 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 4: And he's not in the hallways where people can hear you. 71 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: No, we have actual news that we're going to get 72 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 3: to here, right, off the top. Okay, and we'll since 73 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: we're all waiting on Kyler, we'll wait to talk about Kyler. 74 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: Let's deal with front burner right here, right now, zach Ertz, 75 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: I are yes, Okay, did you see that one coming? 76 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: I did not know. That was a little surprising to me. 77 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 4: I don't I wonder at what point he got hurt 78 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: in the game. It's a quad injury that placed him on. 79 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: Ir right, I don't know. I mean, obviously it was 80 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: at some point, but he was playing up until the 81 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: very end, wasn't he. 82 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: I did not see anything on the sideline. In fact, 83 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: the most memorable thing I saw, really, other than football itself, 84 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: for zach Ertz was I really hesitate to mention this 85 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: because I don't want to give any glory or credit 86 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: whatsoever to the sign guy over in the corner. And 87 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: I really ignored the sign guy in Seattle almost the 88 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: entirety of the game. But walking off the field, I 89 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: couldn't help but notice, Okay, I took a quick glance. 90 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: My eyes went over there, and the sign read Taylor 91 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: Swift would never date zach Ertz. 92 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 4: And you know, pregame I was over there when zach 93 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 4: Ertz was running off and he made a comment because 94 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: every sign is intentionally misspelled, there's one word that is wrong, 95 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 4: and that was zach Ertz's punchback at the guy. I 96 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 4: was like, you can't even spell. So I don't know 97 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 4: that he really liked what. 98 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: Actually, you know who did like the sign? 99 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: Juilliards that's good. So okay, there's that. There's Kavon Wallace, 100 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: show a hands again. Who saw that coming? As Kavon 101 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 3: Wallace was released. 102 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, Keavon Wallace had played. Now in the five games 103 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: Buddha missed that, It's understandable. But in the five games 104 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 2: Buddha was out, Keavon Wallace played one hundred percent of 105 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: the defensive snaps, played zero defensive snaps against the Seahawks 106 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: as Buddha came back and now is gone. So that 107 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: was pretty interesting. 108 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: So is that because Jalen Thompson is coming back? 109 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: Dot dot dot? 110 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: We don't know the answer to that. But if is 111 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: that because Garrett Williams is now in the rotation? Is 112 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 3: a nickel slash safety? 113 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: See? That would be unless it's something untoward, which I 114 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 2: don't know. I'm guessing this is strictly football that it 115 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: would be less about Jalen Thompson for me, because Keima 116 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: Wallace was on this roster before Jalen and Buddha got hurt. 117 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: If you're talking about Okay, now Garrett Williams is back 118 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: and he's been working with as Nickel in a safety 119 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: that makes more sense to me. And eventually, although I 120 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: don't think it's this weak, Danny, you'll need a roster 121 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 2: spot for Kyler. 122 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 4: But now there is a roster spot, which I wasn't 123 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 4: going to bring up because Paul said we were gonna 124 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: wait to talk about Kyler Murray. 125 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: Sorry, no, sometimes things flow. 126 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: We're getting there. We're getting there, okay, So all right, 127 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: there's that. And then Blake Whiteheart has been elevated to 128 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: this active roster tight. 129 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: End from the practice squad, which makes sense. They want 130 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: for four tight ends on. 131 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: The roster, regardless of injury or not. Dare we say 132 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 3: Trey McBride is tight end one right now? 133 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: Oh? I don't think there's a right? Yeah? Yeah? Oh 134 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: you say regardless regardless of injury. 135 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: Even if zach Ertz was one hundred percent healthy, Trey 136 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 3: McBride is tight end was thrown into week eight, he's playing. 137 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 4: I think there's a difference. He's playing like it. I 138 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 4: still think you would be starting and starting zach Ertz 139 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 4: and keeping the snaps relatively close. Which is the most 140 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 4: we've seen from Dray McBride, is that maybe he's had 141 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 4: the most apps, it's still been pretty close to zach Ertz. 142 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: It was thirty five to thirty five this past weekend. 143 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 3: Interesting what we say last week and Cardinals Underground that 144 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 3: Trey McBride's the only tight end on this roster who's 145 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 3: not going down on first contact, who's actually breaking tackles 146 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: and then he. 147 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: Or hurdling them. 148 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he ripped off that gallop with complete 149 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 3: with a hurdle. 150 00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: So you know what. 151 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 3: Obviously he's only in year two and his production was 152 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: sporadic in year one. We'll leave it at that, but 153 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: there definitely appears to be upside and Trey McBride's game. 154 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: So without zach Ertz, guess what, flex him out, Get 155 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: him downfield, get him a bunch of targets, Let's see 156 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: what he can do. Get him the ball in space. 157 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: For Pete's sake. He's making dudes miss, he's running guys over. 158 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: That would be one thing, you know, Paully pigskin that 159 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: kelvc consulting over here. I would say, hey, Trey McBride, 160 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: feature more be just stink and throw it to Michael 161 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: Wilson at this point, even if he's covered, he's open, 162 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: he's strong enough with the point of attack, he's big enough. 163 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: Just throw him the dang ball at this point. And 164 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 3: then number three, after watching Hollywood Brown, I didn't watch 165 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: the film, but just field level, I kept half an 166 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 3: eye on Hollywood Brown most of that game, and most 167 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 3: of that game he was schooling Tarik Woollen, who was 168 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: a Pro Bowl cornerback last year. 169 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: I think Hollywood Brown's having a really good season. The 170 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: numbers aren't gonna say it, because, as we've talked about before, 171 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: it asn't necessarily connected with Josh Dobbs enough. But this 172 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: guy is playing good football and big picture for a 173 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: guy that's going to have his contract run out, he's 174 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: going to be expensive if you want to keep him around. 175 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 3: I mean, if I'm a GM, you're getting towards trade 176 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: deadline Halloween October thirty first, if I'm a GM and 177 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: you're looking at Hollywood Brown's numbers so far this year, like, okay, 178 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: watch the film. He's consistently open, he's consistently beating some 179 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 3: of the better corners in the game. He's getting separation, 180 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: he's getting behind secondaries. So when you're talking about a 181 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 3: Cardinals offense that over the last ten quarters has scored 182 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: just twenty five points, as we purposely let that hang 183 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 3: in the air, if you can somehow just get some 184 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: chemistry with Hollywood Brown and somehow make that connection work, man, 185 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: with that go a long way towards benefiting this offense. 186 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 4: I'm wondering at this point, when Hollywood Brown is deep 187 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 4: and he's creating enough space, is the problem chemistry or 188 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: is it accuracy? Are we seeing what we can see 189 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 4: of Josh Dobbs. It's not necessarily try to knock on him, right, 190 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: but the speed and the distance that Hollywood Brown has 191 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 4: somebody like Kyler where we've seen that long, accurate deep ball, 192 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 4: that connection has been there before. Maybe it's not so 193 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 4: much just about chemistry, and maybe just about the connection 194 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 4: and what you can truly get out of the connection 195 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 4: with Dobbs and Brown. 196 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: Well, you didn't even include protection, which I think that's 197 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 2: a major problem right now. It's going to be tough 198 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: to throw ball twenty yards downfield to any receiver if 199 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: you don't have time to do it. Now. I know, 200 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: I thought Josh Dobbs looked off at the beginning of 201 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: the game. He had some accuracy issues, but he was 202 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: absolutely running for his life most of the game too. 203 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 3: I mean, look, there are two ways you can shut 204 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 3: down an offense that might have a ton of weapons. 205 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 3: Number one, poor o line play. Right, your offense is 206 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: going nowhere. I don't care if you have three Pro 207 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 3: Bowl receivers in a Pro Bowl running back. If you 208 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 3: got a bad offensive line, it's not going to work. 209 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 3: And then number two, an inaccurate quarterback. If you have 210 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 3: a quarterback who can't connect with all these weapons, then 211 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: that obviously is going to be too much of a 212 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 3: barrier to overcome. Although in some regards, and look, I 213 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 3: only have a finite amount of questions at the end 214 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 3: of the game in the radio interview, and I'll write 215 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: down questions of my notebook over the course of the game. 216 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 3: The first question I wrote down was in the first quarter, 217 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: and I put a zo dash confusion question mark, and 218 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: then I put in there receivers breaking the huddle, going 219 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: to the wrong side of the formation, scrambling. Oh wait, 220 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: their left. No, you're supposed to be on the right. 221 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: And then even Kyle Vandenbosch brought it up. He went 222 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 3: back and watched the game. Two receivers five yards from 223 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: each other. What was the grouping, what was the the 224 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 3: route structures? It just seemed like some things were off 225 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: in a world where the quarterback gets too much of 226 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: the credit, takes too much of the blame. I'd love 227 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 3: to get Josh Dobbs in a trust tree and find 228 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 3: out was everyone in the right place at the right time. 229 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 4: I wrote that down to I know exactly what play 230 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: you're talking about. Was Hollywood Brown who wasn't lined up 231 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 4: where he was needing to be because it was Michael 232 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 4: Wilson that was yelling at him telling him to get outside. 233 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 4: How many illegal shift penalties did the Cardinals have? It 234 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 4: was a problem on Sunday. 235 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 3: We haven't seen a lot of that this year, not 236 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: at all. 237 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: No, you overall. I mean, I can't think of any 238 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 2: part of the pass game that I'm like, okay, that 239 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 2: was okay, unless we're going to go back to Trey McBride. 240 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: A couple of times he caught the ball, but like 241 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: the protection wasn't really there. Josh Dobbs wasn't really there. 242 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 2: You mentioned the receivers having some troubles, and this is 243 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: why you're sitting here with what thirty points in the 244 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: second half and seven points in the fourth quarter all season. 245 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, my big takeaway from that game was ultimately 246 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: we can talk about the run game, and I think 247 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: their run game has been better than I expected this year, 248 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 2: and it was pretty decent on Sunday, all things considered, 249 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: when you add in what Ronelle Moore can do and 250 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: what Josh Dobbs can do. But to me, and I'm 251 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 2: not coming off of this, yes you need a defense, 252 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: Yes you need a run game. If you can't pass 253 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: in this league, you're not winning Jack And that was 254 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: they took a step back pass wise against Seattle, and 255 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: some of that was Seattle and some of that was 256 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: not Seattle. 257 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: Well, the longest Josh Dobbs completion in that Seattle lost 258 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: twenty to ten was twenty one yards and it was 259 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 3: on the final possession. Whereas the next gen stats say 260 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 3: Gino Smith, who didn't have a great game, but on 261 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 3: his past attempts of twenty or more yards, he was 262 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: five or six for a buck twenty nine and two touchdowns. 263 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 2: But again that took that took a miracle well that 264 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if it was twenty yards in the air, 265 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: but the touchdown to. 266 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 3: Bobo, they counted that as just you know, because he's 267 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 3: throwing it from deep in the pocket. 268 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 2: That's a freaking miracle catch. And then he had a 269 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: twenty plus yard touchdown pass to a guy that the 270 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: Cardinals decided not to cover at all. Yep, So it's 271 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: kind of easier to complete passes. 272 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: But to your point earlier, but you found that humorous there. 273 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 3: Damn about the second half woes on offense. Yes, they 274 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: have been outscored this season one oh four to thirty 275 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 3: in the second half. So and in this four game 276 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 3: losing streak, it's fifty seven to twelve. 277 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: So it's even worse in the fourth quarter. 278 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, sixty seven to seven this season in the fourth quarter. 279 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: So is that talent eventually deciding things in the NFL? 280 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 3: And by the time you get to the second half 281 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 3: and the fourth quarter, guess what talent eventually ultimately wins out? 282 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: Is that just attrition? You know, the Cardinals roster as 283 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: constructed coming out of camp, the first string on both 284 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 3: sides of the ball. Okay, pretty competitive once you start 285 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 3: getting into the second and third string because of injuries, 286 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: not so much. 287 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: Doesn't it feel though, when you're seven games in that 288 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 2: you would almost fall bast awkwards into more than seven 289 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter. 290 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 4: You said that so smoothly, Thank you very much. 291 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: Yes, you would think that, you know, somehow. 292 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: We want to remain pech here on YouTube. 293 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, So look, I mean, so what's realistic now? Before Kyler? 294 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 3: And before we talk about Kyler, what is realistic with 295 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 3: Josh Dobbs at quarterback? Because from weeks two through four, 296 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: and we've gone through it every single week ever since, 297 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 3: he was pretty dang effective, and he was getting better, 298 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 3: and there was a passer rating around one hundred, and 299 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: he was finding receivers and the completion percentage was good 300 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: enough to keep you in the game and even win 301 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: a game against Dallas. But the last three games of 302 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: passer rating against Cincinnati fifty seven point six, against the 303 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: Rams fifty eight point five, and against Seattle sixty eight 304 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 3: point five. 305 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: And from what I. 306 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: Could tell, especially in the second half, Seattle just stopped 307 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: blitzing him. They said, why, dude can run, he can 308 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 3: make guys miss. He's not going out of bounds, he 309 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: doesn't hesitate to try and break arm tackles. He saw 310 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: all the above on the twenty five yard touchdown run, 311 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: So why blitz of Josh Dobbs. We're going to rush 312 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: three or four and drop seven or eight and let's 313 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 3: see if he can get that ball into tight windows. 314 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 4: I feel like some of the mistakes from Dobbs have 315 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 4: been it seems like he's trying to force things. It 316 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 4: feels like the interception, I know, the one in the 317 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 4: end zone was negated because of a roughing the passer 318 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 4: penalty in Seattle, so they lucked out there. In a 319 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 4: wild turn of events of DJ Humphreys getting disqualified from 320 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 4: the game, the Cardinals turned around and scored with the 321 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 4: twenty five yard touchdown run by Dobbs. But I feel 322 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 4: like a lot of the mistakes just seem like Dobbs 323 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 4: is trying to force it. Whether that is the passes 324 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 4: are being thrown behind his receiver or he's throwing clearly 325 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 4: into trouble, or there have been multiple times the last 326 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 4: two games where you can see two receivers running similar routes, 327 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 4: but you know ten or so yards in between them 328 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 4: and the balls ending up in the middle of them. 329 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 4: You can't even tell who Dobbs is targeting. And then 330 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: when you have those troubles, paired with a lack of 331 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 4: production in the run game, not having James Connor, that's 332 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: not going to have a lot of success. When you 333 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 4: look at the number, Sure, the numbers might not seem 334 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 4: like a heavy drop off of this running backs by 335 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 4: committee approach compared to why you have James Conner. The 336 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: production is not the same. The run game is Joe, 337 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 4: It's not the same without Connor. And there's a reason 338 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 4: that Josh Dobbs is the only person finding the end 339 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 4: zone with his legs. There was a reason that your 340 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 4: second leading rusher behind a Mario dumercarter this week was 341 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 4: Josh Shapps. You're a third leading rusher, rondel Moore. 342 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: He's kind of a running back. 343 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 4: Which I don't have a problem with rondel Moore or 344 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 4: Josh Shapps using their legs and getting you yards. I 345 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 4: have a problem with the fact that the rest of 346 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 4: your running backs room is not even competing to I 347 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: shouldn't say competing, it's not even close to having those 348 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 4: types of numbers. 349 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: The thing I noticed, like the twenty five yard touchdown run. 350 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: That was a pass that he just scrambled on and 351 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: ran on the field. It feels like the last two 352 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 2: to three games, and you guys can disagree if you think, 353 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 2: but I feel like the play action game is not 354 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: fooling people nearly as much as it was, especially either 355 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: the read option or the But I feel like teams 356 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: are staying home a lot more on Josh Dobbs than 357 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: they were the first month of the season, and you 358 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: can kind of tell, and I think that is hurt 359 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: a little bit. 360 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: Or are they not respecting the play action game as much? 361 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 3: Minus James Connor, could that be it? Are the linebackers 362 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 3: less apt to suck up and actually respect it? 363 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 2: And honest questions, I don't know these. I also think 364 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 2: some of this is just they're making sure that there's 365 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: one guy's eyes on Dobbs, knowing that he could keep 366 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: the ball and we can't get Michael Parson. 367 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 3: He said he said against Cincinnati there was a spy 368 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 3: on him at times. Remember he talked about that, and 369 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: then we asked him, how easy is that to determine 370 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 3: to discern if there's a spy on you? He said, yeah, 371 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 3: if there's one guy just standing there in the middle 372 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 3: of the field staring at you like Michael Myers on Halloween. 373 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: Was his quote not ours? He said, it's a good quote. 374 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 3: It's pretty obvious. I mean, he is a good quote, 375 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: there's no doubt about it. But if you don't have 376 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 3: it James Connor out there, then of course the play 377 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 3: action isn't going to be as effective. In fact, I 378 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 3: don't think it's even been used nearly as much. Cardinals 379 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: were number one in play action percentage through the first 380 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 3: five weeks of the season, and they've fallen off quite 381 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 3: a bit each of the last two games. So you know, 382 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 3: not only do you lose a two time Pro Bowl 383 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 3: running back, but you kind of lose the identity of 384 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 3: your offense in some ways minus James Connor. And so 385 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 3: as that trickle down effect really impacted Josh Dobbs more 386 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 3: than we ever anticipated. You can put a Mari de 387 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 3: Mercato in there and guess what for an undrafted rookie. Okay, 388 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 3: I mean, he's a patient runner. He's waiting for his 389 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 3: blocks to develop, he's stoking it. He's not apt to 390 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 3: try and extend a run and try and make something happen. 391 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 3: Then it's not there and take a loss. He'll take 392 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: his three to five yards and be content with that. 393 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,479 Speaker 3: And it makes sure you stay ahead of the chains. 394 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 3: But it's all those other things that don't show up 395 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: in the box score that maybe the Cardinals are really 396 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: missing James Connor. 397 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll be similar to the Buddha Baker return 398 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 4: in the sense that when Kyler Murray returns, they can 399 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 4: help take away a lot of the problems. It's not 400 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 4: going to completely fix everything. That's what I would imagine 401 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray's return will have. You'll see a fix in 402 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 4: a lot of these aspects of the offense, probably a 403 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 4: few weeks into Murray being back and playing of really 404 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 4: getting comfortable with this scheme. But it's not gonna fix everything. 405 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 4: It's not gonna fix the protection, it's not gonna fix 406 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 4: the receivers aren't getting open. 407 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 3: Danny's trying to segue again to Kyler and again. 408 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 4: We're saying, or to Buddha, We're gonna so, yeah. 409 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 3: Let's take the Buddha segue. We on Big Red Rage. 410 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 3: Kanty Ingram told us Thursday night he knew Buddha was 411 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: back when he laid a big hit on Corey Clement 412 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 3: in practice. I think it was that Thursday last week. 413 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 3: He just came up and laid the lumber on Corey Clement, 414 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 3: maybe just sort of to test drive things in terms 415 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 3: of a full contact let's hit the scout team running back. 416 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: I don't know. 417 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 3: I wanted to run into Corey and ask him, like, Okay, 418 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 3: what was that all about? But I guess that's probably 419 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 3: life as a scout team running back, right. I don't know, 420 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 3: but yeah, Buddha played every single step right. 421 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: And guess what. 422 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 3: The communication is always better when Buddha is out there, 423 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: and they seem much more buttoned up, and it just 424 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 3: didn't seem like they were chasing the play as much. 425 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,479 Speaker 3: What a nick say, going into the game, one thing 426 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 3: that had to be better on defense was we had 427 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 3: to stay ahead of the motions that the Bengals and 428 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 3: the Rams had gotten the Cardinals secondary on some of 429 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 3: the motions and those cheat motions and whatever else you 430 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: want to throw out there. It's the whole Sean McVay tree. 431 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 3: You go from Zach Taylor to Shane Waldrup right and 432 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 3: Waldron and Seattle, it's all part of the same tree. 433 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: They all coached with Sean McVay. So, but it seemed 434 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 3: like this week they were much better in just the 435 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 3: alignment and assignment of the secondary, and I'm guessing a 436 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 3: lot of that had to do with Baker. 437 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: Well, I don't disagree with that. It was interesting that 438 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: I think they had a season nine five guys play 439 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 2: all one hundred percent of the defensive snaps and Josh 440 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 2: Woods only missed like ten maybe eight, so he was 441 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 2: in there almost the entire time too. And when you've 442 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 2: take into account that three of those they're using defensive 443 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: linemen and outside linebackers who they rotate all the time, 444 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: you're basically you're keeping the same unit on there. You're 445 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 2: not having you're not moving guys in and out. So 446 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 2: it's I mean, that just kind of tells me, Okay, 447 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 2: do you want to get more into a settled place 448 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: where both your cornerbacks are playing all the time and 449 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 2: both your safeties are playing all the time, and if 450 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 2: you bring in a nickel guy, it's Garrett williams now 451 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: and you just keep it more settled rather than trying 452 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: to get multiple people in there. 453 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 4: Before the game. Rallis called Buddha Baker last week an eliminator. 454 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 4: He doesn't just do his job. Having him out on 455 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 4: the field eliminates a lot of the other problems for 456 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 4: the defense really in the secondary because of how much 457 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 4: ground Baker covers. We saw that there was there was 458 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 4: a tackle I think it was early on maybe the 459 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 4: first quarter, where there was a guy running out close, 460 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 4: close to being out of bounds, and Buddha just shut 461 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 4: up out of nowhere and he was the one to 462 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 4: tackle him and take him out of bounds. And that's 463 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 4: what you have from Buddha and talking to Garrett Williams 464 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 4: after the game, talking to Kaiser White this week of 465 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 4: hearing their perspectives of how having Buddha out there really 466 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 4: does impact their game, and Kaiser said, I know that 467 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 4: if I miss a tackle, they're not getting much further 468 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 4: because Buddah is going to be right there to wrap 469 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 4: him up. 470 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 3: Well, I've told Buddha and Jelle and Thompson one thing 471 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 3: I always take away from August from preseason games or 472 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 3: what it looks like when those two are not out there. Unfortunately, 473 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 3: Cardinals had to play regular season games without those two guys. 474 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: Multiple regular season games on them. 475 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the first time. I didn't know this 476 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 3: either until last week and it might have been you 477 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 3: on easy. Cardinals dot Com pointed at this first time 478 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 3: he's ever been on ir Buddha Baker in his career. 479 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: I mean, well, he never missed. 480 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 3: Just think about it. He didn't miss any games until 481 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 3: he missed the last two last year. Well, he missed 482 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 3: that one game Week four at Carolina a couple of 483 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 3: years ago. 484 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: And the defense missed game. 485 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 3: Yes, it was discombobulated, the old thing. So did the 486 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: defense play well enough for the Cardinals to beat Seattle? 487 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 2: Yes? 488 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 4: Yes, right then will you win the turnover battle three 489 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 4: to nothing? 490 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 2: That's my other favorite start of the week that I 491 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: looked up. 492 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 4: You get three points off three ton over. 493 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 2: Since nineteen seventy the merger, the famous merger but Danny 494 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 2: doesn't really know about because that was so far before my. 495 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 4: Parents were It was way before my parents even knew each. 496 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: Other, insisted, nineteen seventy merger AFL NFL. So this is 497 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 2: where we're going back to there there. I don't know 498 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: if this includes last week, last week's games two, nine 499 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: and twenty five NFL games where one team has had 500 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 2: a plus three or better turnover ratio, Okay, the teams 501 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 2: with a plus three had won ninety one point three 502 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: percent of the time. 503 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, Wow, Darren said that. By the way, 504 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 3: you can tell once again on camera, you can tell 505 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 3: he has no notes as opposed to me where I 506 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: got stuff everywhere. So you know that separates. That's next 507 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 3: level by Darren right there coming up with that's. 508 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna humble brag that, but I appreciate you 509 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: throwing that. 510 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 3: Out, you know, and you can violate our role no 511 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 3: math anytime when you're bringing knowledge like that. Ninety one 512 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: percent of the games teams have been plus three in 513 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 3: the turnover category since nineteen seventy. They have won those games. 514 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: Out of twenty nine hundred games, twenty nine to twenty five. 515 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a small sample size. 516 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 3: Okay, So let's ask the tough question between now and 517 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 3: when Kyler gets back, and we'll get to it. Danny 518 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 3: Isler Murray, do you worry about the defense? Do you 519 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 3: worry about everyone who's not an offense? Because we've seen 520 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 3: teams divided in years past. If one side of the 521 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: ball is strugglane and the other side feels like they're 522 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 3: carrying an in order to amount of the weight, I would. 523 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 4: Say no, because it feels like everybody truly is on 524 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 4: the same page with the culture that's being set in 525 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 4: this new staff and in the first year. If you 526 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 4: had asked me this, maybe last year when the team 527 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 4: was made up of longtime veterans, it didn't really feel 528 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 4: like you were having to prove yourself in the same 529 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 4: way of whether that's the staff that was here or 530 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 4: having so many veterans here and so much of the 531 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 4: turnover from that team having success recently, I would say, yeah, 532 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 4: that would probably be a concern. I don't see that now. 533 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 4: It doesn't feel like we're getting a bunch of bolognay. 534 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 4: When the players are talking at the podium or in 535 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 4: front of their locker talking about morale has not dropped. 536 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 4: It really does seem genuine. It really does seem genuine 537 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 4: that people have bought in to what this staff is 538 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 4: giving them. And I think too, there have been times 539 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 4: where the offense has played well enough to win and 540 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 4: it's been on the defense more so earlier on in 541 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 4: the year. This isn't a situation where the defense is 542 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 4: balling out and it's the offense just completely dropping the ball. 543 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 4: I mean, the defense is playing well enough, but it's 544 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 4: not so completely lopsided in my mind to where you 545 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 4: would have any sort of riff in the locker room. 546 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: I was going to be a little more succinct than that. 547 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: Go ahead. 548 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 4: Is that necessary? 549 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. It was mean. 550 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 4: Actually, So now we're back on YouTube and all of 551 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 4: a sudden, Darren's just we're back. 552 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 2: We were never on YouTube. 553 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 4: Sorry, so now we're on YouTube and all of a sudden, Darren's. 554 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: Just does not earn a trophy for that. I would 555 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: just say, if I'm if I'm on the offense, I'm 556 00:25:53,880 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 2: like the Giants game, the forty nine Ers game. Like true, Oh, 557 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 2: I don't think there's a riff just because of the 558 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: last part of what Danny said. Mostly I agree. I 559 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: agree that I think this team is built better to 560 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: withstand that. But I also believe, like there's been plenty 561 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 2: of issues with the defense at different times, that there's 562 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 2: no way you can you could take the moral high 563 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: ground at this point. 564 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 3: Can I also say there would be zero tolerance for 565 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 3: that sort of dynamic, And that's also true a number 566 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 3: of players where you've wondered, man, why is that guy 567 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 3: no longer a part of the Arizona Cardinals roster and 568 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 3: no longer an uniformer in the locker room. Well, maybe 569 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 3: look beyond just the football performance aspect, because they're building 570 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 3: something that goes beyond the field. And if you don't 571 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 3: fit the mold of what they're looking for in the 572 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 3: locker room, then you won't be around very long. And 573 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 3: to answer that, to fill in the blank, I think 574 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 3: they're just looking for players who are deadly serious about 575 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 3: the game of football. 576 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 4: Not only that, every team will tell you they are 577 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 4: looking for high character plays. Does every team mean that 578 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 4: in the sense that they truly value that and that 579 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 4: is a high priority for them. No, that's that's fine, 580 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 4: That's not the case here. It truly is a high 581 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 4: priority to have the right type of person, the right 582 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 4: type of player. And I don't mean that in the 583 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 4: sense of your technique on the field. Rather, what you're saying, Paul, 584 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 4: is that passion to play the game and play it 585 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 4: with a team mentality. 586 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 2: What about what about in this podcast room? Is this 587 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 2: is are we just paying lip service to high cary? 588 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 4: You don't, I mean, truly, you were just putting on 589 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 4: a show for the cameras. My goodness, Look. 590 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 3: As soon as the red light goes on Darren brings it, 591 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 3: so who cares what he does the other six days 592 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: of the week as long as the performance is there 593 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 3: on game day. 594 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 2: This has nothing to do with cameras, because I would 595 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: say similar things every other podcast. 596 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 3: Fine, I think he's a little triggered because he doesn't 597 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 3: have his own camera. Any that could be it, that 598 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 3: could be it? You do and I do you know, 599 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 3: I can tell you right now. He writes down these 600 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: notes and I don't know if there's so much show 601 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 3: notes as demand. I think their demands. I think one 602 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 3: of the if he really got into his phone and 603 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 3: there'd be one. I need my own camera, and that's 604 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 3: going to be taking up with Jim Moundre at the 605 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 3: end of this edition of Cardinals Underground. We'll see about that. 606 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 3: We'll see if there's one here next week. Then you know, 607 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 3: I'm right. 608 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 4: Which sidebar did you notice on the bus ride? Because 609 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 4: Omo pointed this out to me to the stadium. There 610 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 4: was a building and it on the top of it, 611 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 4: the letter I said, Pacific Office Automation and points to 612 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 4: me to look across the bus out the window, and 613 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 4: I was like, oh my. 614 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 2: Goodness, Settle, yeah, okay, there you go. 615 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 3: You guys will do a road trip. Why do you 616 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 3: guys bury the leader? You know you should use that 617 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: as the as the sponsor mentioned right off the top. 618 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 3: So okay, uh, here we go, Kyler Murray in three two. 619 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 4: Let me roll up my sleeves. 620 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: You know how I know that Kyler is close to being. 621 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 4: Back because I said so, Because I did. 622 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 3: As I did an interview with Michael Wilson last week 623 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 3: on the TV side, and he said at the end 624 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 3: of the interview that Kyler had recently walked over to 625 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 3: the receivers and said, when he's healthy, he's gonna smoke 626 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 3: almost all the receivers in a foot race. So that's 627 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 3: how you know Kyler is back. And the bravado and 628 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 3: the confidence because he's right. Other than Hollywood Brown, maybe 629 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 3: Rondel Moore, he's probably the third fastest guy. 630 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 2: Okay, wait a minute, that's only that's like half of 631 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 2: the receiver front. 632 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 3: You know what, I take back to Rondell Moore because 633 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 3: Rondelle Moore lost to Josh Dobbs on the next Gen 634 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 3: stats up on the up on the big board, he 635 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: ran nineteen point two and Josh Dobbs ran nineteen point 636 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 3: eight eight. In the Giants game. I think it was. So, 637 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 3: you know, I take that. 638 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 2: When the cocaine bear is chasing and you're gonna run fastest, right, 639 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 2: don't let Grayson into the race. 640 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 3: So Kyler interesting to see, you know, for example, And 641 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: I thought this was an apt question by a media 642 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 3: member earlier today. With Kyler Murray running the twos against 643 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 3: the ones, isn't that a great look for your starting 644 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 3: defense with Lamar Jackson coming to town? That if Kyler Murray, Now, 645 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 3: if we're to believe what Jonathan Gannon tells the media 646 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 3: that he's quote full go, then why not dial up 647 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 3: some Lamar Jackson s plays? Because if there's one quarterback 648 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: in the NFL who can match the athleticism of Lamar Jackson, 649 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 3: it is Kyler Murray. 650 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 4: This is very different, a very different challenge from the 651 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 4: other mobile quarterbacks that this Cardinals defense has faced this year. 652 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 4: There's just there's very few quarterbacks like Lamar in the league, 653 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 4: and I would say that Kyler is one of them. 654 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 4: When you look at the rest of the Ravens offense 655 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 4: pretty stacked, and when you have a quarterback like Lamar 656 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 4: who can beat you in almost every way. And I'm 657 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 4: not just saying beat you as in the Cardinals, but 658 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 4: every defense of he's got the arm strength, he's got 659 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 4: the accuracy, he can get outside the pocket and extend 660 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 4: plays he can run. I mean, this is going to 661 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 4: be a challenge for a Cardinals defense that, whether it's 662 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 4: in the run or whether it's in the past, it 663 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 4: feels like one aspect of their defense has been picked 664 00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 4: on week after week. 665 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson is what we talked about Kyler Murray, and 666 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 3: the reason he was the number one pick in the 667 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 3: draft is because Lamar Jackson is now and I realized 668 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 3: he was a twenty nineteen MVP. But he is truly, 669 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 3: genuinely a passing quarterback who can run, not a running 670 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 3: quarterback who can pass. If that was the case with 671 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray, he would not have been the number one 672 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 3: pick in the draft. But he was a passing quarterback 673 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 3: who happens to run. Of four to three, that's Lamar 674 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 3: Jackson right now. That's what John Harbaugh has told the 675 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 3: media recently that that's why he was so effective against 676 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 3: Detroit where they started that game leading twenty eight to nothing. 677 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 3: They had four touchdowns before the Lions had a single 678 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 3: first down. The total yards at one point was three 679 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 3: twenty five to thirteen. 680 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 2: Is that bad? 681 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 3: I mean, Lamar Jackson came out well. He ended the 682 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: game with a passer rating one fifty five point eight. 683 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 3: Oh so he wasn't perfect, right and so and here 684 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 3: was the Mark Andrews quote, Scottsdale guy quote today was 685 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 3: lights out. Those two guys were elite. He meant Lamar 686 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 3: Jackson and the new OC Todd Monkin, who apparently the 687 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 3: play calling the rest of the players said was just exceptional. 688 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 3: And obviously the Lions got the brun of that. They 689 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 3: lost thirty eight to six. 690 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 2: It's always been interesting every time this team has played 691 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, and I'm trying to They played him in 692 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 2: what twenty seventeen or twenty twenty. 693 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 3: It was week two of Kyler's rookie year twenty nineteen twenty. 694 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 3: Remember that they were it's had a huge game, yet 695 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 3: they were inside the five three times in the kickfield 696 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: goals and field goals every time. 697 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 2: And then after that Cliff went for fourth down all 698 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 2: the time. Yeah that's true. But every time I watched them, 699 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 2: I think to myself, Okay, this guy is going to 700 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: crush them, and trust me, he played well. That day. 701 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 2: But they were in that game. Oh yeah, the Cardinals 702 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 2: had the ball with a chance to tie the game 703 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, couldn't get anything going, but they 704 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 2: were in that game. And it takes me all the 705 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 2: way back, not that they're the exact same kind of player, 706 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 2: but it takes me back to the times that the 707 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 2: Cardinals played Michael Vick Falcons and you know, shutting that 708 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 2: down to a certain extent. It's weird because mon Can 709 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 2: clearly has put the passing game more at the forefront 710 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 2: of what the Ravens are doing. Last week and the 711 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 2: Lions basically dared Jackson to beat them with his arm, 712 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 2: and he said, okay, and he did. 713 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, John Harball was saying that he obviously has 714 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 3: crazy escapability, but instead of taking off and running, he's 715 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 3: now extending the play keeping his eyes downfield. So as 716 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 3: he extends the play five six, seven, eight seconds, it's 717 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 3: impossible to cover that long. And now ex accuracy is 718 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 3: such that in six of seven games this year, he'st 719 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 3: completed seventy plus percent of his passes. And since the merger, 720 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 3: once again, since I'm nineteen seventy, Danny only drew Brees 721 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen and Kirk Cousins in twenty nineteen have 722 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 3: started a season with that sort of accuracy that Lamar 723 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 3: Jackson is showing right now. So again, you combine the 724 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 3: athleticism that sort of accuracy, and it's elite, the one 725 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 3: two punch. It's the exact reason why Kyler Murray was 726 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 3: the number one pick in the draft, why he went 727 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 3: to a Pro Bowl twice Offensive Rookie of the Year. 728 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 3: And I do remember that twenty nineteen matchup Darrek. We 729 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 3: went into how many times did we go into that game? 730 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 3: Because it was Kyler's second game ever in the NFL. 731 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 3: We're like, okay, this is the future of the NFL. 732 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 2: Yes, we did. 733 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson Kyler Murray. So obviously it would be great 734 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 3: to see both of them on the field at the 735 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 3: same time, won't Well. 736 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. 737 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 3: You're right, we don't know for sure. 738 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 2: Danny is not letting go because she's so desperately wants to. 739 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 4: Releasing Kevon Wallace gives you a roster spot, does it not? 740 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: It does? That is true. 741 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 3: See, there's the way that sounded, and then there's this 742 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 3: skeptical look on Darren's face that you can see on video, 743 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 3: so's there's two ways of trees. 744 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 2: You didn't get to hear us on the radio pregame 745 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 2: on Sunday, Paul, But there might be some potential leverage 746 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 2: that Danny has over myself and Craig grilu. 747 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 4: Is and Paul. 748 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 3: Oh, hell, if. 749 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 2: Kyler comes back this week, he's kind of lord it. 750 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 4: Over us forever and ever and ever. Is this classified 751 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 4: info or that just that I think that there's a 752 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 4: chance that Kyler comes back this week against the Ravens. Wow, Okay, right, 753 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 4: So then Craig said that I'm optimist. That's the title 754 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 4: that I just. I think it's possible. I do. I 755 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 4: think if he is physically healthy enough. 756 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 3: But wait, he is, the coach says, it'll. 757 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 4: Check great mentally if he feels like he can trust 758 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 4: that knee and he can't trust what he needs to do, 759 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 4: why would you hold him If he feels ready and 760 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 4: you have enough of the playbook at his disposal, even 761 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 4: though we're not going to be told because they don't 762 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 4: want to give us give out any sort of competitive advantage. Realistically, 763 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 4: when you're talking about a learning curve, the things that 764 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 4: are going to be new for Kyler Murray in his career, 765 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 4: the scheme obviously different types of plays, more play action, 766 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 4: playing under center. You are likely going to have to 767 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 4: ease those aspects into his game. Even if Kyler had 768 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 4: started the year healthy, Right, there's a chance that the 769 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,959 Speaker 4: plays at his disposal in week three or four would 770 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 4: have been different from weeks one and two. Just getting comfortable. 771 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 4: If that's going to be the game plan, why, if 772 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 4: he's ready, would you not play him now and just 773 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 4: maybe have him in the shotgun a little bit more right, 774 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 4: Maybe don't have as many design run plays as you 775 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 4: might in a few weeks and get him comfortable. I 776 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 4: truly maybe maybe I'm delusional. Maybe it's the delusion kicking 777 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 4: in because I kind of feel a little crazy that 778 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 4: nobody else thinks it's even remotely possible that with all 779 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 4: this going on, assuming that physically Kyler, his body and 780 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 4: the soreness is doing okay, and he feels ready, why 781 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 4: am I the crazy one that to think that Kyler 782 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 4: Murray could play at State Farm Stadium this week? Look, 783 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 4: conversation and let's just keep let's just keep about me being. 784 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 2: My My question is this and I and I I 785 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 2: brought this. I think I brought this up on the 786 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 2: air Sunday. I'm not I don't remember exactly, but like 787 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 2: my question becomes like, look, Josh Dobbs is a guy. 788 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 2: We were just talking about him running the ball, right, 789 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 2: he runs the ball completely different than Kyler does in 790 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 2: a way that's positive for the Cardinals, and with all 791 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 2: due respect to Kyler, even before he suffered a major 792 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 2: knee injury. Like, how many of the yards as Josh 793 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 2: Dobbs picked up that Kyler would not have picked up 794 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 2: because he would have gone down at first chance. 795 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 4: We'll not only that, right, but Dobbs extends plays and 796 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 4: runs forward through the pocket. How many times we've seen 797 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 4: Kyler roll out? 798 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 2: Great example? So I mean, I think I think it 799 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 2: goes beyond maybe knowing some plays. I think it goes 800 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 2: beyond how healthy is I think it also there needs 801 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 2: to be this complete meeting of the mind's over exactly 802 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 2: what's expected when he's on the field and how that's 803 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 2: going to turn out, because I think if you rush 804 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 2: into that too much, I do think that it could 805 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 2: get pretty disastery. 806 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 3: Maybe I'm missing your point, but if you're saying the 807 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,919 Speaker 3: only thing that is missing with Kyler's game versus Josh 808 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 3: Dobbs is the straight ahead run game. 809 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no, I'm not saying that. I'm just 810 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 2: saying like there's different parts to like, okay, and we 811 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 2: can we can debate this. I obviously Kyler is a 812 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 2: better passer, right sure, But are we saying then that 813 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 2: a lot of these runs that Dobbs is doing, those 814 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 2: probably go away, but then you just make up for 815 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 2: that with the passing. I would hope so, I mean, 816 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 2: I would hope so too, but I would. 817 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,919 Speaker 3: Hope that, you know, the passer rating would be way 818 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 3: beyond the fifties. 819 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 2: And so no, no, no, no, no, no, of course that 820 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 2: like I know there's that, But I just mean, in 821 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 2: terms of how you're going to operate this offense, well, 822 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 2: is it going to look drastically different? 823 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 3: Not drastically to Danny's point, I think there will be 824 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 3: more shotgun maybe at least initially perhaps that, but you know, 825 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 3: count to Ingram also told us live on the air 826 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 3: on The Big Red Rage that Kyler, as part of 827 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 3: the practice sessions last Wednesday and Thursday, was checking at 828 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 3: the line, was calling audibles, yelling at guys, get here, 829 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 3: go there. He had to seem to have a real 830 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 3: mastery of the scheme. And let's remember, you don't need 831 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 3: to know the entire playbook. You just need to know 832 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 3: that one chapter that you're applying that week for that 833 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 3: particular opponent. So I don't think it's here's the other thing. 834 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 3: It'd zoom out a little bit. When Jonathan Gannon was 835 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 3: asked last Wednesday upon announcing that Kyler would be back, 836 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 3: he was asked, well, you know, how did you come 837 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 3: up with the decision. He said, well, it wasn't my decision. 838 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 3: Kyler told me. So if Kyler told the team he 839 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 3: was ready to practice, why can't Kyler tell the team 840 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 3: I'm ready to play? 841 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 4: Am I hearing you correctly that you are on the 842 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 4: same side as me that thinking Kyler could play against the. 843 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 3: Ravens because if he's full go physically, because it's just 844 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 3: up to Kyler now mentally if he feels ready to 845 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 3: go or not. 846 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I will answer your question that you just made, 847 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 2: which is why can't he just say I'm ready to play? 848 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 2: Because Jonathan Gannon specifically said after he said that he 849 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 2: told me, I think I was the one who asked, 850 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 2: But somebody asked, like, is the same Is that the 851 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 2: same process for when he's going to play, and then 852 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 2: Jonathan Gannon backed off and said, well, that's an organizational 853 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 2: decision that he obviously he will have a part in that, 854 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 2: a big part in that, but that is an organizational decision. 855 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 2: So no, I don't think there is an option where 856 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 2: Kyler says I want to go play and then it's 857 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 2: that's a done deal. I think there's a lot more 858 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 2: that goes into it. 859 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 3: But do we know where the organization stands? And I agree, 860 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 3: of course, I agree it's an organization. Okay, I'm not 861 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 3: disputing that it's an organizational decision when he actually goes 862 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 3: out on game day, But how do we know the 863 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 3: organization isn't more than ready to see him? If he's 864 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 3: full goal and it's not going to get any better 865 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 3: or there's any other clearances to achieve physically, then why. 866 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 2: Isn't that what we're arguing though, that you guys keep 867 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 2: saying if he's full go, if he's full goal, I'm 868 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 2: not arguing that he's that he's that he isn't physically ready. 869 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 2: The whole point of why you would want more practice 870 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,479 Speaker 2: time is to have more practice time. It's why entire 871 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 2: teams have training camp. So I get it, but you can't. 872 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 2: You can't sit here and say, well, he knows everything. 873 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 2: You don't know that. I don't know that, but that 874 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 2: would be that would be why he wouldn't play it. 875 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 2: But that's my point more practice. 876 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,280 Speaker 4: That's my point is under the assumption he doesn't know everything, 877 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 4: and he doesn't need to know everything right now, is 878 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 4: just what you need to know for this week and 879 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 4: be comfortable with that. And the plays that he was 880 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 4: watching and talking with offensive coordinate Drew Pett sying of 881 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 4: this is what I'm going to feel comfortable with. This 882 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 4: is what I like. Getting to two and a half 883 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 4: weeks a practice of this really is what I do 884 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 4: feel comfortable with. This is what I like. That's my 885 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 4: point is saying, does he understand and have enough at 886 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 4: his disposal of okay, let's make a little bit of 887 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 4: justin right. He won't be under center as much as 888 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs has been, maybe as much as we like 889 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 4: Kyler terre Be in a few weeks. But he understands 890 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 4: and feels comfortable with enough for him to go out 891 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 4: there and put us in a position to win games. 892 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 2: I guess for me, we've got and everybody's different. But 893 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 2: you've got Zach Ertz who had the back half of 894 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 2: training camp, and he had at least three weeks before 895 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 2: he got on the field of practice. You had Garrett Williams, 896 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 2: who you gave three weeks of practice too before you 897 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 2: put him back out on the field. I don't know 898 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 2: why that would be different for Kyler Murray. In fact, 899 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 2: I would think that out of anybody, he would be 900 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 2: more likely to have more practice than a cornerback or 901 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 2: a tight end. And so that would be my argument 902 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 2: right now. 903 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 4: Not a bad argument, I just like mine better. Hmm. 904 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 3: I just I'm presuming though, as part of this process, 905 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 3: and maybe they're going to take it as far as 906 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 3: they can the whole three weeks. But if he looked 907 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 3: really good in practice the first week, and he looked 908 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 3: even better the second week in practice, to the point 909 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 3: where they're looking at each other saying, well, what else 910 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 3: can he get out of this without us removing the 911 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 3: non contact jersey? How much more isy to achieve in practice? Man, 912 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:17,479 Speaker 3: So let's go to the game. 913 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 2: That's fair. But as we record this, he hasn't even 914 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 2: started his second week of practice, So A that we 915 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 2: don't know and B I know we And oh, by 916 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 2: the way, I know everybody keeps saying he had a 917 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 2: great week of practice, but we don't know they're gonna 918 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,720 Speaker 2: say that no matter what. Oh hell, he was terrible. 919 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, you've scored twenty five points 920 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 3: in your last ten quarters and you're thirty second and 921 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,760 Speaker 3: second half scoring and fourth quarter scoring and you know, hey, 922 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 3: in honor of the Ravens. In the most recent Cardinals 923 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 3: folk Tales, why don't you just go with the old 924 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 3: Texas package that they used for Kurt Warner where he 925 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 3: came out and ran the no huddle in relief of 926 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 3: Matt Lionard once upon a time in two thousand and seven. 927 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 2: Create another folk Tales create a package. By the way, 928 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 2: go check out that Folktales Renaissance Man about Kurt Warner. 929 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,839 Speaker 2: And there's a new folk Tales coming out this week, 930 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 2: bird Napped. That's really good. Check that out too. 931 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 3: Follow that that's you know what, that's I saw our 932 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 3: Cardinals underground advice to the coaching staff, because I know, 933 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 3: you know, they're always looking for our advice on how 934 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 3: to run things, uh Paul, And the advice would be 935 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 3: it would be to start Josh Dobbs, but bring Kyler 936 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 3: and off the bench running the no huddle out of 937 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 3: the shotgun, and then if you're trailing going into the 938 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 3: fourth quarter, just like Kurt Warner did once upon a time, 939 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 3: you lead a furious comeback and you're race down the 940 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,959 Speaker 3: field for a couple of scores in the fourth quarter. 941 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 4: Or you could start Josh Dobbs and just bring Kyler 942 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 4: out for a fake punt. Is that an option? 943 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 3: We had a dispute. I'm gonna test you guys on 944 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 3: this one soon the was Blake Gillikin on the field 945 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 3: for that punt or not? Was he was the punter 946 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 3: actually on the field at that. 947 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 2: Point, I would have to go back and look. I 948 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 2: didn't see it. They were doing that. They executed that literally, 949 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 2: like I'm like, okay, this is the last series I'm 950 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,879 Speaker 2: gonna have before I go down to the field. So 951 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 2: they go to go punt and I'm packing everything up 952 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, that happened, and I'm like, 953 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 2: I'm standing up while I'm typing out the tweet about it, 954 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,879 Speaker 2: because I'm like, did I just see what I think 955 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 2: I saw? I do tune through it. That's all I. 956 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,720 Speaker 3: Knew because all I know is that the defense Seattle's defense, 957 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 3: or at least punt cover team was was punt return 958 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 3: team was not thrown at all. It was a defensive look. 959 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 2: They had it totally covered. 960 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 3: Yes, So is that because they identified from the get go? Wait, 961 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 3: there's no punter in the huddle, guys, this is going 962 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 3: to be a regular offensive play. 963 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 2: Michael Wilson told me he was not the first read 964 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 2: on that fake punt. 965 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 3: Gotcha? Okay, all right? 966 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 2: Well, which makes feel better when it was fourth and 967 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 2: nine and he caught a four yard pass. 968 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 3: Although what I thought of it originally when they first 969 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 3: ran that was Remember Jeff Rodgers told us a couple 970 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 3: of weeks ago he's got hundreds of faith punts in 971 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 3: his playbook. Wow, somebody asked him, like, what's in. 972 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 2: His hard to say hundreds. I'm not sure he has hundreds. 973 00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 2: I think Jeff might have been. 974 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 3: So yeah, there we go with that. As for Lamar 975 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 3: Jackson and what he's doing this year, it was interesting 976 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 3: to hear Nick Rolis say that he's never gone against 977 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,879 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson because he's, in his words quote, hiding out 978 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 3: in the NFC. It's a good thing, because Lamar against 979 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 3: the NFC all time is sixteen and one as a 980 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,280 Speaker 3: starting quarterback. So I mean there are some crazy numbers 981 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 3: on what Lamar Jackson has done and is doing. And 982 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 3: by the way, the Baltimore defense as allowed an NFL 983 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 3: low seven touchdowns this year and they lead the NFL 984 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:34,959 Speaker 3: in sacks with twenty nine. 985 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 2: So you want to go back to talk about why 986 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 2: Kyler's and coming back this week? 987 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 3: Don't But you know, once again, what do you do? 988 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 2: You go out? Do you go again? 989 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 3: Do you go against Cleveland's number one ranked defense? I 990 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 3: don't like that, but look at Cleveland this last week. 991 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 3: They gave up thirty eight points to the Colts, right, 992 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 3: they take it to the forty nine ers, but then Cleveland, right, 993 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 3: So you know we can all talk about on jeez, 994 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 3: you know, on paper, get your Bingo card out on paper. 995 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,879 Speaker 3: You know, this team looks like this, but they don't 996 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,479 Speaker 3: always play like that week to week. 997 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 4: And to those listening, if anybody has the thought that Kyler, 998 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 4: as soon as Kyler could be ready to come back, 999 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,280 Speaker 4: would be against Cleveland, and the reason that the Cardinals 1000 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 4: would hold him out is because of Miles Garrett. That's 1001 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 4: not a good enough reason. I can promise you that 1002 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 4: if everything else is ready, they're not going to keep 1003 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 4: Kyler out of a game for the sole fact that 1004 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 4: the Browns have Miles Garrett on the other side of 1005 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage and they might be scared of 1006 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,840 Speaker 4: what he could do to him. That's not going to 1007 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 4: be a factor. 1008 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 3: That's just so dj Humphreys does not get thrown out 1009 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 3: of that game, okay, when Miles Garett is out there, 1010 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 3: because that was costly. There's no doubt to see your 1011 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 3: franchise left tackle leave the field. 1012 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 2: And especially in the day when you're number one rookie 1013 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 2: right tackle play pretty not good. 1014 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was interesting to start the second half. Jesse Lucetta, 1015 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 3: who was not active, who was not dressed, was working 1016 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 3: with Paris Johnson Junior on the bench before the second 1017 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 3: act kickoff, and it looked like he was re enacting 1018 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 3: what Boye Mafe had done the end of the first 1019 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 3: have where we had a pressure in a sack took 1020 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 3: the Cardinals out of field goal range, and Luketa was, 1021 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 3: you know, ostensibly showing him, Look, he's doing this and that, 1022 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 3: and he's coming with this sort of long arms stab 1023 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 3: and you gotta he's trying it, because it did look 1024 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 3: like Paris was off balance quite a bit in that game. 1025 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's probably the first game it's it's looked 1026 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 4: like that. It wasn't. It wasn't a great performance by 1027 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,760 Speaker 4: the offensive line as a whole. It's not just on Paris. 1028 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,720 Speaker 4: And I think that, you know, if you're looking for 1029 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 4: the glass to be half full, the fact that we're 1030 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,839 Speaker 4: getting this far in the season and this first time 1031 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 4: you're talking about a rookie right tackle not having his 1032 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 4: best game compared to what we have seen from him 1033 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 4: all season, the bigger picture, I'm I'm still I'm okay. 1034 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 3: With that, all right? Do we miss anything on this 1035 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 3: edition of Cardinals Own the Ground? Anything else?
