Okay, in Arizona terminology meteorology, 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 5: it's never hot until it's one hundred plus. And in 24 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 5: terms of being a football player, because you have to 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 5: be mentally strong, you have to be the point one percent, right, Kyle, 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 5: Van and Bosch don't have to tell you about it. 27 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 5: It's really not hot until it's one ten plus.

If you're out on that field, I 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 5: could see both of you are reaping the benefits of 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 5: the plasma production, right, goes, Isn't that what we should 32 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 5: be talking about right now? Jonathan Gannon says, if you 33 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 5: are out there a practice, yes, you should have very 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 5: strong plasma. So where can I test? You know? I 35 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 5: mean we went through COVID all, you know, can we 36 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 5: get it? Can I get a plasma test here? Helps 37 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 5: with the oxygen intake? So KVB. 38 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 4: When you're out in the football fields littered this afternoon 39 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 4: with your high school team, make sure you bring that 40 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 4: up because that will inspire them. Just say, hey, it's 41 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 4: good enough for Arizona Cardinals head coach Nathan Gannon, it's 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 4: good enough for you guys. 43 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. Plasma production. That's a new one. 44 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 6: I think he made that up though. 45 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 5: I mean, Kyle still hangs out in a weight room. 46 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 5: As you can tell. I'll put my plasma up against 47 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 5: Kyle's anytime. Let's go, let's go. 48 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 4: We digress here as we talk Arizona Cardinals football here 49 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 4: on this Tuesday. Yes, mandatory mini camp is underway and 50 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 4: by the looks of things, pretty well attended, with the 51 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 4: exception of one player who has a pretty darn good excuse. 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 4: Congratulations to Dennis Gardeck. He and his wife expecting their 53 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 4: first child. So no Dennis Gardeck here during this week. 54 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 4: It is an excuse absence, but yes, good for the gard. 55 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 5: Deck family, one of the longest tenured Cardinal players. Yes, 56 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 5: he's most definitely earned it. And you know what, Dennis 57 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 5: the Barbarian, He's gonna be a heck of a dad. 58 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 5: I'm just calling that right now. He's going to be 59 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 5: an outstanding dad. So congrats to guard all the way around. 60 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 5: And I tell you what, as we've seen for many years, 61 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 5: doesn't matter what the situation. If you're looking for this 62 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 5: sort of intensity that defines a JG and Monty player, 63 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 5: there's a reason why He's one of a handful of 64 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 5: guys still on this roster. He is the epitome of 65 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 5: what this regime is looking for. 66 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 4: Defense, special teams and guard Deck has been here all 67 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 4: off season, with the exception of this week. Another player 68 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 4: who has been here all off season. And it's good 69 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 4: to see because it means he's healthy. And that is 70 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray being out here every single day, even on 71 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: those days in which he does not have to be here. 72 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 4: But it's important, Kyle, when you have your quarterback be 73 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: that person who not only is your leader, but leads 74 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 4: by example as one. I think that's when you talk 75 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 4: about leadership with Kyler Murray, it's more about the lead 76 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 4: by example than the vocal leadership. 77 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 6: Absolutely, you want you know, I've said this over and over, 78 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 6: but you want your best players to be your best lead, 79 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 6: and certainly you want your quarterback to be your hardest worker. 80 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 6: And if your quarterback is as Kyler Murray has been 81 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 6: this offseason, as we've heard from several players, many players, 82 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 6: a first and last out guy, a guy who has 83 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 6: put in countless hours, who has done the so much work, 84 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 6: who has absorbed this offense, who has a complete grasp, 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 6: who has done everything the coaches have asked him to do, 86 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 6: you know, to me and for many players in that 87 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 6: locker room when I played, respect doesn't come from skill. 88 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 6: Respect doesn't come from even necessarily what you do on Sundays. 89 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 6: Respect come from comes from your skin in the game. 90 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 6: It comes from what have you given to this team? 91 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 6: What type of sacrifices have you made? And that again 92 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 6: is not just on Sundays, It is what do you 93 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 6: do for this team in the offseason. What kind of 94 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 6: hours have you spent, what types of injuries have you 95 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 6: played through? What do you do on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 96 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 6: Saturday throughout the season? And you know, by all counts, 97 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 6: Kyler has done that, and he has put in the work, 98 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 6: and that gives you ultimate credibility, and that gives you 99 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 6: the right in the ability to grab a player by 100 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 6: the face mask and say you're not doing enough, you're 101 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 6: not doing your job. And when your quarterback has that ability, 102 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 6: you know your your team can go, you know, as 103 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 6: far as you want it to go. 104 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 5: The commitment is unquestioned every time you look out in 105 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 5: the practice field, and we can see it right now 106 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 5: as we do this show. Throughout the offseason. There have 107 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 5: been four constants. You look out there, you see the 108 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 5: goal pols, you see the blocking slide, you see the 109 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 5: practice bubble, and seemingly you see Kyler Murray. He is 110 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 5: always here. He is always out there. There are three 111 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 5: guys you have never seen before and Kyler Murray. So 112 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 5: it's when he mentioned just this sort of offseason that 113 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 5: he's put in, he's not kidding. And once again we can, 114 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: you know, speculate as to why and what the deal 115 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 5: is and et cetera. Yes, they're a contract incentives. But 116 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 5: when you lose the game like he did in that season, 117 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 5: an injury a year and a half ago, I just 118 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 5: think it renewed his interest. He is all in, he 119 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 5: is all bald. This is his life, and I think 120 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 5: once it was taken away, he just cherishes it that 121 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 5: much more. 122 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: I think he appreciates and they you lose something, you 123 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 4: appreciate it just a little bit more. We had a 124 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 4: chance to hear from Kyler Murray for the first time 125 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 4: since the regular season finale Week eight and against the 126 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks, and he talked about maturing as just the 127 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 4: fact that he is twenty six, will turn twenty seven 128 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 4: in August and just the natural maturation. And that's something 129 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 4: that only did he address with the media, but also 130 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 4: when he shut up on Wolf and Luke. 131 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 7: It's kind of like in the natural maturational life. You know, 132 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 7: you get older, you get wiser, you go through things, 133 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 7: you experience things, you got to adapt and grow. And 134 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 7: I just think that's just natural for anybody. Either you 135 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 7: can be stagnant and you know, be hard headed about 136 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 7: things and stuff like that and not willing to adapt 137 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 7: and grow, or you can take, you know, your experiences 138 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 7: and how do I get better from you know, well, 139 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 7: I'm always trying to get better, you know, I'm just 140 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 7: I just want to win, man, I just want to win. 141 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 4: We forget this is year six for Kyler Murray. And 142 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: when he first got here, Kyle, he was handed the keys. 143 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 4: This is your franchise, all right, go win a ball game. 144 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 4: And it was a struggle, and there was that one 145 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 4: season getting into the playoffs. But and you hear him 146 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 4: talk about the natural maturation, and then you also hear 147 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: him talk about how he's been supported on the field 148 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 4: off the field, and a year ago, at this time, 149 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 4: it's the rehab, it's the coaching change and all of 150 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 4: a sudden, Not so much the rehab still got to 151 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 4: figure out and deal with that knee, making sure that 152 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 4: he's ready when he steps on the football field. But 153 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: that coaching change I think was a big part of 154 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 4: where Kyler is at this point, not only on the field, 155 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 4: but off the field as a person as well. 156 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 6: Absolutely, I think there's a couple of things that have 157 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 6: really springboarded his maturation process really in the last year. 158 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 8: Right. 159 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 6: One of them is Jonathan Gannon. I think he has 160 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 6: pushed all the right button since he's gotten here. He 161 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 6: has done everything he could do to support Kyler Murray, 162 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 6: you know, both scheme wise, but just with his words 163 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 6: and just support and saying you are our guy and 164 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 6: we're gonna do everything we can to build this team 165 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 6: around you and your talents and your abilities, and just 166 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 6: their relationship, you know, and you hear it over and over, 167 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 6: and we heard it last week with Jonathan Gannon talk 168 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 6: about how they exchanged text messages and how he loves 169 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 6: and appreciates Kyler and doesn't necessarily know if it's reciprocated, 170 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 6: but they do have that type of relationship where they 171 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 6: do communicate and they talk about football constantly, and they 172 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 6: both like to compete. They're kind of wired the same way, 173 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 6: that same type of competitor. So I think that's one 174 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 6: is just the relationship of the head coaching quarterback, which 175 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 6: is vitally important in the NFL's that type of open 176 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 6: relationship and that type of open communication. And I think 177 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 6: the other thing that really helped him with his maturation 178 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 6: process helped me in my career. Look, Kyler was the 179 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 6: best athlete at every level he's ever been at. When 180 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 6: he set foot on the football field, he could just dominate. 181 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 6: He could go out there and do things that nobody 182 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 6: else could do on the football field. And then he 183 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 6: had this injury. And when you are staring sometimes at 184 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 6: what could potentially be your football mortality, when you're staring 185 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 6: at your teammate's going out there playing the game you 186 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 6: love without you, When the game is you've played it 187 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 6: your whole life, and suddenly it's taken away and you're 188 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 6: not able to do the things that you've done your 189 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 6: whole life, and you've just got to watch and you've 190 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 6: got to work your way back to that game and 191 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 6: things that you've taken for granted. You know, you at 192 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 6: times hate practice. Practice sucks, and it hurts and it's hard, 193 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 6: and you don't always love it, but when you are 194 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 6: watching it and you're on the outside looking in, you 195 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 6: miss it and you realize how special it is, no 196 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 6: matter how hard the practices are in the summer, no 197 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 6: matter how hard it is in August, and these many 198 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 6: can't practices and training camp practices, and how repetitive things are, 199 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 6: and how hard it is to walk back into a 200 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 6: locker room after a loss. You missed those moments and 201 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 6: you miss your teammates. And I think just that going 202 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 6: through that process and that struggle of the rehab and 203 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 6: working his way back and working his way back into 204 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 6: the locker room and earning re earning the respect of 205 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 6: all his teammates, I think that also helped with his 206 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 6: maturation process. 207 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 5: And I agree coaching staff found the right formula with Kyler, 208 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 5: their equal parts encouraging and demanding. And you've seen the 209 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 5: benefit of that. You've seen him evolve his game. You've 210 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 5: seen his change his game get under center. There were 211 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 5: certain times last year where they had him actually, you know, 212 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 5: work on selling the fake a little bit more so. 213 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 5: He's been responsive. He has taken the coaching. 214 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 4: Plus you look at what this offseason has done for 215 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 4: Kyler as far as the personnel, whether that's on defense 216 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 4: and and of course the addition of Marvin Harrison Junr. 217 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: Once upon a time Kyler Murray had to be Superman 218 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 4: doesn't really have to be that guy anymore. He's got 219 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 4: offensive pieces around him that help can help this team 220 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: get w's On Sunday. Here's more from Kyler talking about 221 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 4: just that on Wolf. 222 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 7: And look, we were in every game, you know, and 223 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 7: you you look at around around the league and how 224 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 7: they talk about the Cardinals. Uh, it flipped from you know, 225 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,599 Speaker 7: maybe a talented team that doesn't play harder, doesn't you know, 226 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 7: isn't well coached, or it doesn't play smart, to oh, 227 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 7: these guys, you know, they might not be as talented, 228 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 7: but they you know, nobody wants to play the because 229 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 7: they play hard as hell. And it did narrative kind 230 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 7: of flipped, you know. And then when I got back 231 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 7: man just being able to when you can be yourself 232 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 7: and not have to be Superman all the time, you know, 233 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 7: let the let the freaky stuff happen on accident. You know, 234 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 7: that's I don't want to be out there forcing and 235 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 7: and feeling like I have to make a play for 236 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 7: us to win the game. You know what I mean, 237 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 7: that's just not it's not sustainable. And that's just what 238 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 7: that's kind of how it was, you know, for for 239 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 7: me when it came to the first four or five years. 240 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: You've got a run game in James Connor, you've got 241 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 4: to tie it end and Trey McBride and mentioned m 242 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 4: HJ and the rest of the wideers receivers. But there 243 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 4: are options. Yes, Kyler is dynamic. He can extend plays, 244 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: he can make something happen out of nothing. But he's 245 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 4: always said this, Paul. He wants to get the ball 246 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 4: into the hands of his playmakers and let them do 247 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: the work. 248 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 5: Let it be organic. When he takes off running, he 249 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 5: wants it to be organic. Doesn't necessarily want his number 250 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 5: called unless maybe you're in the red zone or it's 251 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 5: fourth and two. Otherwise, you know what, Just let him 252 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 5: be that elite athlete when needed, when it's available. But 253 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 5: if there are three components to winning, play hard well coached. 254 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 5: Have talent. Cardinals check the first two boxes last year. 255 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 5: Now you add more talent, and I think that's where 256 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 5: you hear the intrigue, right, That's where you hear in 257 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 5: the enthusiasm and the encouragement from Kyler Murray. So, Okay, 258 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 5: now that we're well coach and we know we play hard, 259 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 5: what happens we go out there and we can match 260 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 5: another team's talent level. That's where you have aspirations of 261 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 5: winning and maybe even aiming for the postseason. 262 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 4: Real quick, Kyle, there's certainly every reason to be excited 263 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 4: if you're Kyler Murray, if you're a fan of the 264 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals going into this this season. 265 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, And to Kyler's point, look in the past, it 266 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 6: almost felt like when the game was on the line, 267 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 6: Kyler had to do special. 268 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 5: Things to win. 269 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 6: And that's not just Kyler feeling that, that's us feeling 270 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 6: that too. Think Buffalo Bill's the Hail Mary. Think Las 271 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 6: Vegas Raiders at the end of the game when Kyler 272 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 6: had to extend plays with his legs. Now, there's just 273 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 6: so many ways we can win ball games on the ground, 274 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 6: through the air with our tight end. And you know, 275 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 6: I'm just excited about all the options, like Kyler is. 276 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 4: If you want to see Kyler Murray in action this season, 277 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 4: single game tickets on sale is a Azycardinals dot Com 278 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 4: forward slash buy tickets to secure your seats today.

Justin Jones 302 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 4: below Nichols, a pair of former fifth round draft picks, 303 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 4: both six ' three Jones three h nine Nichols three thirteen. 304 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 4: Part of that early movement in free agency of the Cardinals, 305 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 4: making defensive line a priority this offseason with those two editions, 306 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 4: the re signing of LJ. Collier, also the edition of 307 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 4: Kiris Tonga as well a brand new defensive line room. 308 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 4: For the most part, as we say, welcome back, it 309 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 4: is the car red Sea Report, Craig Rayelupaul Galvic and 310 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 4: Kyle Vanenbosch. And let's talk about that D line Kyle 311 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 4: and the fact that, yes, I keep bringing it up 312 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 4: because I think it's a fascinating observation, stat whatever you 313 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 4: want to call it. But the three starting D lineman 314 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 4: a year ago that ended the regular season Week eighteen, 315 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 4: those three players were not even on the roster to 316 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 4: begin the season in twenty twenty three. Knock on wood. 317 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 4: This offseason or this season ahead, the D lion stays healthy. 318 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 4: And it's because of Jones, Nickels, Collier, Dante Stills, Roy Lopez, 319 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 4: Darius Robinson, guys that you can count on and have 320 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 4: that rotation of six or seven each and every week. 321 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 6: Right, and you've got that history, You've got guys that 322 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 6: have played a lot of games, guys that have shown 323 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 6: that type of durability, so you know, at least you 324 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 6: can have that in the bank. You know, you know 325 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 6: that they're available most of the time. They've been available 326 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 6: in the past. They've played a lot of games, so 327 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 6: you've you've got some durability there. And you know, look 328 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 6: on the defensive side of the ball, you can fix 329 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 6: so many problems when you have guys up front that 330 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 6: are big, that are strong, and are disruptive. You know, 331 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 6: the quickest way to affect an offense is these big 332 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 6: guys that are closest to the quarterback when they are 333 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 6: in his face, when they are knocking guards back two, three, 334 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 6: four yards back into the backfield, when they are stuffing 335 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 6: the run. I mean this, this defensive line, it was 336 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 6: patchwork through no fault of their own. You know, it 337 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 6: seemed like a different starting lineup every week, the rash 338 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 6: of injuries, plugging guys in, signing guys off the street, 339 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 6: playing them on Sundays. But you know, finishing thirtieth in 340 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 6: sacks the pass rush seemed to disappear late in the 341 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 6: season's that's a big deal in the National Football League. 342 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 6: Finishing thirty second in rush defense, you know, it had 343 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 6: to be a priority, and it was addressed in free agency. 344 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 6: It was addressed in the draft, and these guys are 345 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 6: gonna be big difference make and you can expect that 346 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 6: Nick Rollis will have a lot more freedom to do 347 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 6: some more creative things on the defensive side of the 348 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 6: ball because of these guys he has up front. You know, 349 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 6: you are limited as a play caller on the things 350 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 6: you can do when you can't stop the run, when 351 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 6: you've got to add extra guys to the run front, 352 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 6: when you've got to bring a safety up, you know 353 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 6: it's you're you're gambling and you're rolling the dice a 354 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 6: lot of the times. So at the very least, these 355 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 6: these guys are our mammas, and they are big and 356 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 6: strong and nasty, and they will do a great job 357 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 6: of controlling that line of scrimmage on first and second. 358 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 4: Down for free Paul. It doesn't matter the sack numbers 359 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 4: for those two talking about Jones and Nichols, it's what 360 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 4: Kyle mentioned, stopping the run, or at least slowing down 361 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 4: the run so that ball care is not getting to 362 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 4: the second and third level untouched or with very little. 363 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 5: Resistance, or an offense getting to second and manageable. And 364 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 5: now the whole playbook's open. And that happened way too 365 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 5: often a year ago. It's way too tough for Nick 366 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 5: Rowss to take calculated guesses and chances when the opponent 367 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 5: is always in second and three, second and four, even 368 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 5: second and five. Now all of a sudden, look out 369 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 5: here it comes. You don't know what's coming. There is 370 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 5: no position group on this field. And you guys know 371 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 5: during the offseason being out there where you look and go, wow, 372 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 5: this is before and after based on how they ended 373 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 5: last season, how they're projected to start this season. And honestly, 374 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 5: I think the rest of the team knows it. Players 375 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 5: no players. Players know in the locker room. If you've 376 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 5: got a chance, and there were games they went into 377 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 5: last year. It's a forty nine ers team, one of 378 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 5: the top run teams in the league. I mean, you 379 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 5: have the Pro Bowl, you have the All Pro number 380 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 5: one running back Christian McCaffery. You have second team All 381 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 5: Pro running back Karen Williams in your division. Both those 382 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 5: guys were major league headaches. You had to do something 383 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 5: about those two, and the Cardinals did. Based on what 384 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 5: they've acquired in the offseason. 385 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 4: Five new names, and that defensive line room, none bigger, none, 386 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 4: maybe more important than justin Jones and Balal Nichols. Hear 387 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 4: from those two on the attitude that they are bringing 388 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 4: to this Arizona Cardinals team in twenty twenty three. 389 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 9: I want us to be known as a very physical 390 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 9: defensive line stopped to run a mindset just like we 391 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 9: the baddest more fools walking, point blank period and nobody 392 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 9: out physicals us. 393 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 3: You gotta be a me and that's ob That's what 394 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 3: it is. You know, it's just a man's game. Like 395 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 3: you know we're on that field. You gotta understand it's 396 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 3: people out there with kids and you know, wives and 397 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: momly taken care of and family, all types of stuff. 398 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 3: So when we on that field, like either I eat 399 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 3: or or you eat, and I'm not going hungry today. 400 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 4: You can only imagine Kyle that you hear that first 401 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 4: from Blal, then from Justin that you echo those comments 402 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 4: and you would love to be teammates with those two players. 403 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 6: Absolutely absolutely. I love that mindset and it was a 404 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 6: mindset for a lot of the d lines that I 405 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 6: was a part of. You know, we when we had 406 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 6: training camp fights, it was if you fought one of us, 407 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 6: you fought all of us. It was a complete melee 408 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 6: like we were a tight knit group, you know, and 409 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 6: nobody we took pride. And it wasn't always being the 410 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 6: most you know, getting the most sacks in the league. 411 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 6: What it wasn't always having you know, the least yards 412 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 6: per rush against us in the league. It was we 413 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 6: were gonna be the toughest, like we were gonna take 414 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 6: the fight to you as a defensive front. And I remember, 415 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 6: you know, one year in Tennessee, like our strength as 416 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 6: a defensive front was our defensive line, and we just 417 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 6: took pride in being so physical and we went thirteen 418 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 6: and three in the regular season that year. But to me, 419 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 6: the most impressive stat was the next week our opponents 420 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 6: were two and fourteen after playing us, and it just 421 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 6: showed how physical we were upfront as a defense. We 422 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 6: beat teams up and that type of attitude. And to 423 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 6: hear that attitude in the offseason to set the tone now, 424 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 6: to talk about those things, to speak them into assistance 425 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 6: in OTAs in mini camp. You know, you love that 426 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 6: from the veterans, from the leaders in your position group, 427 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 6: to say this is who we are, this is who 428 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 6: we're gonna be. We're gonna set the tone. We're not 429 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 6: gonna sit there and play on our heels and try 430 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 6: to figure out what offenses are gonna do to us. 431 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 6: We're gonna set the tone of the game and physically 432 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 6: dominate the line of scrimmage and whatever else happens, you know, 433 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 6: we'll sort it out, but we're gonna physically dominate and 434 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 6: take the fight to the offense. 435 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 4: Watching those two during the open portion of practices here 436 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 4: this offseason, Paul Justin Jones and Balon Nichols. They didn't 437 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 4: come in and say, hey, we're the guy, but they 438 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 4: earned the respect of their teammates. And then it's the 439 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 4: coaching that they're doing on the field as well, and 440 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 4: taking a Darius Robinson to the tie to the side, 441 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 4: doing a little bit extra work, encouraging the other guys. Again, 442 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 4: there's eleven players, not all eleven are gonna make this team, 443 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 4: but uplifting their level of play, or at least they're 444 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: giving them confidence to maybe show something. If it's not 445 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 4: for the Cardinals, then one of the other thirty one teams. 446 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 5: I'm watching it. You know, been around long enough to 447 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 5: remember Koalas Campbell and Darnell Dockett, and I'm thinking, when's 448 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 5: the last time the Cardinals had a one to two 449 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 5: punch like this in the trenches along the D line. 450 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 5: Remember when the forty nine ers were sort of chasing 451 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 5: what the Cardinals had. They drafted to Forrest Buckner and 452 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 5: Eric Armstead and consecutive drafts. We need a six foot 453 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 5: eight guy. They kept hunting for that sort of defensive lineman. 454 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 5: And then to have a Darius Robinson and to have 455 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 5: him be so far advanced in terms of the mentals 456 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 5: and the playbook, and so if you can truly get 457 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 5: that rotation going like Nick Ross says has long wanted, 458 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 5: and these guys are gonna have fresh legs in the 459 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 5: fourth quarter because you are so deep, going all the 460 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 5: way down to Roy Lopez, You're at least a half 461 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 5: dozen guys deep. That's what's intriguing to me, what the 462 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 5: Cardinals did on offense and just exerting their physicality in 463 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 5: the run game in the fourth quarter last year, and 464 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 5: you saw it especially in December and January. I think 465 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 5: the Cardinals might have that ability on the defensive line 466 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 5: this year, and that's really compelling. 467 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 4: And if they can be that physical defensively on that 468 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, control the line of scrimmage, what's that 469 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 4: going to mean for the outside guys, the guys that 470 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 4: are rushing the quarterback. Becausez Avon Collins a blond Nichols, 471 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 4: all right, you should say bj Jalari Zavon Collins last 472 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 4: week asked just that what the d line could do 473 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 4: for this defense this year. 474 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 8: It does a lot of things. It does a lot 475 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 8: of things for the entire defense, for the linebackers, for 476 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 8: the safeties that are spinning down in the box. You know, 477 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 8: it helps the entire team, not just the edge, but 478 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 8: obviously it creates one on one matchups and being able 479 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 8: to put edges in the position to get Winna a place. 480 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 5: And the reason poly Pensilinnak asked that question what Kyle 481 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 5: Vannenbosch said a couple of weeks ago, right when you 482 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 5: had your Pro Bowl seasons. Who were your defensive tackles 483 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 5: Albert Hainsworth and Dominican Sue. You know it was it 484 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 5: does it frees up the edge rushers. They've got to 485 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 5: account for the As a quarterback and we all know this, 486 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 5: you hate inside quick pressure, so you got to take 487 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 5: care of that. 488 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 4: First goes back to maybe the conversations that we kept 489 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 4: having this offseason. Okay, you have to increase the pass rush. 490 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 4: You've got to go out and find somebody. They didn't. 491 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 4: The only move that this team made was in the 492 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 4: draft as far as addressing the outside linebacker position, but 493 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 4: maybe looking further ahead, you see, all right, let's improve 494 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 4: defensive line and that can help increase the number of 495 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 4: sacks this team had from last season. 496 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 5: Well into what Kyle was talking about earlier, Guys like 497 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 5: Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford, Gino Smith really good at climbing 498 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 5: the pocket, buying that extra step, buying time, you know, 499 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 5: getting away from the edge rush. Well, now if they 500 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 5: don't have that ability to go forward, they gotta go 501 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 5: side to side. 502 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 4: Boom. 503 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 5: That's where the edge rushers come into play. 504 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 4: Bird Gang flight Plan is back.

So Sea looks. 514 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 8: He's a little silence ally out there. He didn't really 515 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 8: say much. 516 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 9: He's just going out there locking dude down. 517 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 5: But now he's been very. 518 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 11: Cool, communicating with him, super chill, excited having on a team. 519 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 10: I'll be easy.

As we say, welcome back, 529 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 4: it is the Cardinals Red Sea Report. Here on a Tuesday, 530 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 4: Greg Rya, lu Paul Calvici and Kyle Vanderbosch. I mentioned 531 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 4: at the top gentleman that this is the final week 532 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 4: of work for coaches and players. We're getting word as 533 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 4: the practice has ended. Head coach Jonathan Gannon announcing to 534 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 4: the media that Tuesday today the only on field practice 535 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 4: of mandatory mini camp. There will be meetings on Wednesday, 536 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 4: and then that's it. See you until the end of 537 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 4: July for the starts of training camp. But based again, 538 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 4: as I've said, Paul, you look at the number of 539 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 4: cars in the parking lot, and yes, this has all 540 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 4: been voluntary up until this week, but it certainly looks 541 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 4: like there has been ninety five to darn near one 542 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 4: hundred percent attendance from this offseason schedule that began in 543 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 4: middle of April. 544 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, they've seen what they need to see at this point, 545 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 5: and they've tasked all the players with what they need 546 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 5: to do over the next five weeks. You know, guys 547 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 5: like Darius Robinson, some of the rookies, they're unsure. They 548 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 5: haven't had this sort of respite from the game of football. 549 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 5: He said. In fact, I'm so leary about not having 550 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 5: that edge coming into camp. I'm going to Missouri for 551 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 5: the next five weeks just to train with my old 552 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 5: college team, just to hang in the weight room and 553 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 5: make sure I'm ready to go for camp. But at 554 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 5: this point and considering how sharp the team is in 555 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 5: year two of the playbook and how far ahead they 556 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 5: are and talking to guys and it's sort of, you know, 557 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 5: we use the analogy that one of the Browns assistant 558 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 5: coaches used in year two of a system. You know what, 559 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 5: everyone knows the fastball. Now you're working on another pitches 560 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 5: in the repertoire, and the Cardinals most definitely are at 561 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 5: that point in terms of installing the scheme. 562 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 4: A year ago we were talking about installing a brand 563 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 4: new offense, brand new defense. Well, it's your two, Kyle, 564 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden, players know what the 565 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 4: expectation is. Now there's some tweaks and some different things, 566 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 4: but for the most part, you're not spending time on 567 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 4: the install You're spending on time on two minute, four minute. 568 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 4: There was hell Mary practice earlier during the open portion 569 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 4: of Tuesday's mini mandatory mini camp practice. So you're you're 570 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 4: further ahead than you were a year ago this time. 571 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, and yeah, we've talked about that. It's it's 572 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 6: you're adding to, you're changing, you're tweaking. You've you've figured 573 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: out what your personnel does best, You've already experimented with 574 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 6: some things. You You've added some things to your playbook. 575 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 6: You're starting to iron some of those things out, and 576 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 6: I mean look, for the most part, you know, your 577 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 6: installation is probably about seventy five percent complete. Now. It's 578 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 6: on just a week to week basis. It's it's based 579 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 6: upon your opponent what you're going to run and what 580 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 6: you're going to install for that week. And you know, 581 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 6: so it doesn't really necessarily help to run some of 582 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 6: those things now. And you know, just from you know, 583 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 6: I got here and I'm glint just glancing out the window. 584 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 6: The tempo at practice and the execution and just the 585 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 6: sharpness of practice, it's it's really impressive for this point 586 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 6: of the off season. I'm I'm really impressed. And so 587 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 6: you know, if if they are that far along in 588 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 6: the off season at this point, you know what, what 589 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 6: you're trying to get accomplished with what they did today 590 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 6: at mini camp. You're trying to show, Okay, this is 591 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 6: what a day of training camp looks like, so that 592 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 6: your vets, so that your rookies understand what a day involves, 593 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 6: so that their minds can be ready, so that they 594 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 6: can prepare their bodies properly for training camp. And then 595 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 6: they could just come ready to roll when training camp 596 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 6: rolls around. 597 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 4: And one of the bigger questions going into training camp, 598 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 4: at least we thought it was going to be a 599 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 4: big question, is Okay, what does this offensive line look 600 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 4: like left to right and what do they do at 601 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 4: the tackles. We'll all usually heard from Jonathan Gannon his 602 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 4: voice coming into this segment. Yeah, we're going to have 603 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 4: Paris Johnson Junior play left tackle and Jonah Williams play 604 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 4: right tackle. Newcomer from the off season as far as 605 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 4: a free agent addition, but already has become vital for 606 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 4: this offensive line and an offensive line that a year 607 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 4: ago was very solid, especially in the run game, top 608 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 4: five overall, number two as far as rushing yards per play. 609 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 4: But you hear from these guys, and we'll hear from 610 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 4: Paris Johnson Junior, because yes, there is a belief in 611 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 4: that o line room that the run game can be 612 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 4: my much much better. 613 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 12: I think it can a lot. I mean, I think 614 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 12: James he made a lot of stuff. He made a 615 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 12: lot of stuff happened himself on film. You know, he 616 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 12: had the most yards after contact I think out of 617 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 12: all running backs in the league, and that's amazing. On 618 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 12: his part, but I want to see how many yards 619 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 12: before first contact. I think that's a stat that the 620 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 12: offensive line room this year has on a whiteboard. 621 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 4: I think that's impressive Paul to hear that that an 622 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 4: offensive line wants the running back to be even better 623 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 4: than he was a year ago. And a year ago 624 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 4: James Connor had his best season of his career. But 625 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 4: you listen to Paris and it's well, that was mostly 626 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 4: James doing the hard work. How about we make it 627 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 4: easier for him this season? 628 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 5: You ask any offensive lineman who's their favorite running back. 629 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 5: The running back who does not go down in first 630 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 5: contact makes them look good, gets the dirty yards, gets 631 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 5: the yards after contact. James Connor is one of the 632 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 5: best in the business of doing that, but he had 633 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 5: to do it far too often last year. He's really effective, 634 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 5: But yeah, aaving get a little more head of steam, 635 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 5: especially when Kyler's under center and he's got seven yards right, 636 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 5: a little head start and then boom, all of a sudden, 637 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 5: he can get to that second level look out because 638 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 5: he already led the league in chunk runs, give him 639 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 5: a little more room to run. Jonah Williams excels in 640 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 5: the run blocking. He heard the comment off the top. 641 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 5: And we're gonna talk to Jonah Williams this week on 642 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 5: the Big Red Rage. We'll get into that. And it's 643 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 5: just interesting you look at the offensive line left to right. 644 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 5: I just jotted down the left guard competition. I have 645 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 5: eight names or viably you're ready for this. Kyle Vannerbosh, 646 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 5: here we go, Evan Brown, Elijah Wilkinson, Isaiah Adams, the rookie, 647 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,719 Speaker 5: Dennis Daley who started last year at Tristan Clone, who 648 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 5: started last year, Big Moe Marquis Hey's our guy, Carter 649 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 5: O'Donnell and Keith Ismail. 650 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 4: Where's John Gaines? 651 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 5: John gains makes nine? You're right? Absolutely, see this is 652 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 5: why I write this stuff down there we go. Okay, 653 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 5: so nine, I have nine guys at left guard. If 654 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 5: there is one position group that speaks to the depth 655 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 5: that's been added in year two, yes, D line is deep. 656 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 5: O line is deeper. 657 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 4: And I think that bowes well for a run game, 658 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 4: because we've heard more times than not, Yeah, you've got 659 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 4: offensive weapons you can throw to. But what Drew PETSI 660 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 4: wants to do is your offensive Cordner run first and 661 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,719 Speaker 4: stick with the run. As we saw every week, even 662 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 4: even if you're down a couple of scores last year. 663 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 6: Here's my advice. When the training camp schedule comes out, 664 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 6: figure out which day the Cardinals are going to put 665 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 6: pads on and do a nine on seven, which is 666 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 6: you get rid of the receivers. It's a run drill. 667 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 6: It's offensive line versus defensive line. We just got talking 668 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 6: about the defensive line, the additions, their mindset about how 669 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 6: physical they're going to be, how they're not going to 670 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 6: give up the run this year. And then we hear 671 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 6: Paris Johnson. We know about Will Hernandez, we know about 672 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 6: yell Defroholt, we know about Evan Brown, how strong they are. 673 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 6: This is the true unstoppable for us versus the immovable object. 674 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 6: I mean, this is going to be a true training 675 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 6: camp battle against you know, this offensive line versus this 676 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 6: defensive line. And I'm just excited to see how that 677 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 6: shakes out. You know, it's to me this could potentially 678 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 6: be the strength should be the strength on both sides 679 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 6: of the football, and it will. It will be a 680 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 6: fun training camp battle to see which side of the 681 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 6: ball is better against the defensive line against the run 682 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 6: or the offensive line running the ball in training camp. 683 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 4: And who benefits the most from a run game or 684 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 4: the quarterback Kyler Murray. He spoke about the importance of 685 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 4: a successful run game in twenty twenty four. 686 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 7: I think we're all striving to get better. You know, 687 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 7: I think we ran it really well. But this is 688 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 7: a new season. You know, you restart from everyone once 689 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 7: the season's over. Is whatever happened happening before is over. 690 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 7: We got to go do it again. 691 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 4: Look at the numbers, the run game numbers with Kyler Murray. Overall, 692 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 4: the run game was outstanding, But the eight games Kyler 693 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 4: Murray was your quarterback, the Cardinals average better than five 694 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 4: point two yards a kerry and better than fifty two 695 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 4: yards per game, number one in the league and number 696 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 4: two in the league, respectively. And it goes back to 697 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,959 Speaker 4: what we were talking about earlier, Kyle with Kyler, and 698 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 4: that is, let me get the ball to James Connor 699 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,720 Speaker 4: or someone else and let them do the work. 700 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, and Drew Petsing does a fantastic job of sprinkling in. Look, 701 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 6: we don't need a heavy dose of Kyler Murray running 702 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 6: the ball, but he has such a gift of picking 703 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 6: up ten yards in a heartbeat. In the blink of 704 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 6: an eye. If you do have that zone read, if 705 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 6: you do have that naked bootleg, if you do have 706 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 6: that built into your offense. No, you do not need 707 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 6: to run that ten times a game and have Kyler 708 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 6: Murray take those hits. But yes, you do need to 709 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 6: put that on film and have a defender account for it. 710 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 6: It opens up so many scenes for James Connor, It 711 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 6: opens up things in the passing game when you have 712 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 6: to have that defender always account for Kyler Murray, even 713 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 6: if you're not going to run it, even if it's 714 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 6: not a part of your game plan, you do need 715 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 6: to have it because Kyler Murray's legs are a threat. Again, 716 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,919 Speaker 6: I'm not saying it needs to be ten times a game, 717 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 6: but if you do it two, three, four times a 718 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 6: game and you pick up ten yards, twelve yards, fifteen yards, 719 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 6: I mean we've seen it over and over and over 720 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 6: how quickly Kyler picks up those yards in a heartbeat. 721 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 6: It opens up so many things for your offense. 722 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 4: You listed the depth chart As far as left guard 723 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 4: is concerned in that competition, Well, we know James Connor 724 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 4: is RB one who's the backup running back for the Cardinals. 725 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 5: This season, Trey Benson going to be given every single opportunity. 726 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 5: I firmly believe that is a third round pick. As 727 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 5: a guy with the size and the speed, he's got 728 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 5: to prove that he's capable in pass protection. If you're 729 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 5: looking at last year, the offensive coordinator Drew Petsing, he 730 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 5: firmly believes in having a third down back give James 731 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 5: Connor a little bit of a blow. Amaro de Mercatto 732 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 5: is that guy last year. But Amaro de Murcatto is 733 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 5: fighting for a spot on the final fifty three. Considering 734 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 5: that Michael Carter is a change up sort of running 735 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 5: back who I think has a role on this team. 736 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 4: Berg Gang learned more about the Arizona Cardinals season tickets, 737 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 4: single game tickets, seeding group tickets in the all new 738 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 4: Luxury Field Seating Experiences Today.

Just a 748 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 13: third pick thrown by Stroud and a huge takeaway for 749 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 13: the defense. Late bake setting up a Stroud gets hit 750 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 13: and sacked. Wow, he got absolutely humbled by Jalen Thompson. 751 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 13: As big a hit as we've seen all year. And 752 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 13: it comes from Jalen Thompson on C. J. 753 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 2: Stroud. Stafford short set looking left now, throwing down to 754 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 2: the middle and it's picked off by Jalen Thompson at. 755 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 14: The forty field straight drop, no pressure, He's gonna lob 756 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 14: one towards the end zone. Pecked off, picked off by 757 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 14: Jalen Thompson. Run into the ball over the shoulder, graft 758 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 14: two handed snag, takes the knee in the end zone. 759 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, what a great play by Jalen Thompson. 760 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 4: I recognize that second to last voice Dave Pash, followed 761 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 4: by yours truly, Paul Calvisi, and then Ron Wofully there. 762 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 4: But the little polly play by play there snuck in. 763 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 5: Somebody had to set up wolf there, you know what 764 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 5: I mean, somebody has to step in, Polly pinch it, 765 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 5: or every once in a while make everyone appreciate. 766 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 4: Dave Pash by the way, Jalen Thompson four interceptions, a 767 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 4: career high. Cardinals as a team eleven, So that number 768 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,399 Speaker 4: we hope increases in twenty twenty four. Maybe that's why 769 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 4: the Cardinals went out drafted four defensive backs, added Sean 770 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 4: Murphy Bunting in free agency. Yes, as we talked about 771 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 4: earlier here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report, a better 772 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 4: pass rush, a stronger defensive line certainly would help the 773 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 4: secondary as well. But you look at the number of 774 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 4: players in this dB room right now, eleven corners, six 775 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 4: safeties collin this is a position that well, as they say, 776 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 4: and it's become cliche, but it's very true. You can 777 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 4: never have enough at that position. 778 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 6: Oh that's absolutely right. And in today's NFL, I mean, 779 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 6: with the number of talented receivers, and you look at 780 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 6: the teams in our division, I mean just looking specifically 781 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 6: at the Niners with all of their receiving talent, you 782 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 6: got to find a way to cover. And you know 783 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 6: that's always you know, we talked about it with our 784 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 6: run front. You know, with these running backs in our division, 785 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 6: your job number one as a GM, as a head coach, 786 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 6: as an offensive coordinator, devisive coordinator, you got to find 787 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 6: a way to win your division and stopping the run. 788 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 6: Stopping these running backs is one. 789 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 5: Two. 790 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 6: We got to find a way to cover all of 791 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 6: these receiver receiving weapons, particularly that the Niners have. I mean, 792 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 6: they're sitting at the top of the division. They've they're 793 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,919 Speaker 6: you know, they've had the most talent, and we've got 794 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 6: to find a way to cover them all. And you know, 795 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 6: we've I'm encouraged by the talent that we've brought in, 796 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 6: and more importantly, the competition I think is going to 797 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 6: bring the best out of not just the guys that 798 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 6: we you know, not just the free agent we brought in, 799 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 6: not just the rookies we brought in, but the guys 800 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 6: that we we drafted last year. It's going to elevate 801 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 6: their level. And you know, it's hopefully not only do 802 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 6: we will some of these players raise their level of 803 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 6: play and step up, and we will have, you know, 804 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 6: talented players on the field, but we're going to have depth, 805 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 6: I think for the first time in a number of 806 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 6: years in the defensive backfield. 807 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,439 Speaker 5: It's a great point about the division. We talk about 808 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 5: the running backs and the run games, but each division 809 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 5: opponent has two receivers apiece Pro Bowl caliber or Pro 810 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 5: Bowls on the resume, Cooper Cup and Poka Nakua and 811 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 5: Seattle's DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett. They added the first round 812 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 5: pick Jackson Smith and Jigba last year, and then the 813 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,919 Speaker 5: course of forty nine ers Deebo, Samuel Brandon Ayuk who's 814 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 5: been a holdout. He's looking to get paid. They had 815 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 5: a Ricky Piersoll obviously early in the draft. Juan Jennings 816 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 5: got paid. So absolutely. The good news is that I 817 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 5: was talking with some of the offensive skill players for 818 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 5: the Cardinals last week and I said, all right, guys, 819 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 5: who do you like so far on the rookie class 820 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 5: on defense? And immediately two of the guys piped up 821 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 5: and said, Max Melton, legit, based on what they've seen 822 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 5: so far, really attentive, really buttoned up mentally in the scheme. 823 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 5: I love the way he competes. He's got some nasty 824 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 5: he's experienced, four year starter at Rutgers, and he definitely 825 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 5: has the athleticism. One of the most athletic corners in 826 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 5: the draft ran a. 827 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 4: Four three nine forty five eleven point eighty seven, the 828 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 4: forty third overall pick. Let's hear from Max Melton, going 829 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 4: back to the day that he was drafted second round 830 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 4: his conference call. 831 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 15: I'm a lockdown corner. I can lock down anybody. I 832 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 15: ran four to three to nine. I can jump out 833 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 15: of the gym, I can jump bar and I'm a real athlete, 834 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,800 Speaker 15: so you know I can play inside outside of versatility 835 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 15: on own special teams. I'm a willing special teams player. 836 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 15: I don't just go out there and just play seasons 837 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 15: and play it. I can't wait to help my team 838 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 15: win in any type of form of fashion. 839 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 4: You love the confidence, and now you got to be 840 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 4: able to back it up. 841 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 5: But yeah, you. 842 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 4: Hear him say lockdown corner and coming from Rutgers, Okay, 843 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 4: well who did he face? Well, he faced Marvin Harrison 844 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 4: Junior several times during his college career. And well, you're 845 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 4: playing big ten opponents, You're gonna play those wide receivers 846 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 4: each in every week. 847 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 5: He goes back to Garrett Wilson and Chris Olabe at 848 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 5: Ohio State. Jackson Smith and Jigma. The year is freshman year. 849 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 5: Jamison Williams was on that Ohio state team then went 850 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 5: to Alabama and was a first round pick. My question, 851 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 5: and I'm gonna pose this to Kyle because we hash 852 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 5: this out on Cardinal's Underground with Danny Sirek and Darren Urban, 853 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 5: I contend that Mania as support has a few agents 854 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 5: on speed dial, and if he doesn't like what he 855 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 5: sees the first week of camp, then maybe he might 856 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 5: bring in a veteran corner What do you think about that? 857 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,439 Speaker 6: I think, yeah, it's plausible. I think if there's any 858 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 6: position group where you want a steady hand, where you 859 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:11,879 Speaker 6: want somebody that has seen everything, that has experience, it's 860 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:12,800 Speaker 6: it's cornerback. 861 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 7: You know. 862 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 6: Obviously, at times, depending on your scheme, it can be 863 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,879 Speaker 6: a plug and play position. If you've got a really 864 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 6: athletic kid, you could say, you know, go cover that guy, 865 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,919 Speaker 6: and potentially he can do it. But if you want 866 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 6: to complicate your scheme, you know, you there's so many 867 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 6: different things with your hands and with your feet and 868 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 6: with your eyes that you have to be able to do, 869 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 6: and you have to be able to adjust, and you 870 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 6: have to you know, offensive coordinators and receivers. They will 871 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 6: do so many things to try to confuse defensive backs 872 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 6: with their route combinations, with their footwork, with their you know, 873 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 6: head and foot fakes, with all of those things. So 874 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 6: experience definitely helps it all positions. It certainly helps on 875 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,439 Speaker 6: the on the back end of your defense if you've 876 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 6: seen it over and over and over and if you've 877 00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 6: been in this league for a number of years. 878 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 4: Sean Murphy Bunting is the only just the cornerbacks that 879 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 4: has legit experience beyond just a season or two, because 880 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 4: otherwise you're looking at Garrett Williams, Key, Trell Clark, Starlinge 881 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 4: Thomas who was unclaimed but played very very well last season, 882 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 4: and another coaches are high in him going into this year. 883 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 4: So can you get away with a veteran on one 884 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 4: side of the ball or one side of the field, 885 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 4: and then maybe going a little bit younger on the 886 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 4: other side, knowing that you do have Buddha Baker and 887 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 4: Jalen Thompson as your last line of defense. 888 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 5: I'm just saying it has to be in the line 889 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,359 Speaker 5: of thinking based on what you see the first week 890 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 5: of camp and how these corners compete, and you also 891 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 5: have the fourth most salary cap room available right now. 892 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 5: Cardinals do have the funds if they so choose. Also 893 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 5: throw out there that Garrett Williams for everything that the 894 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 5: Cardinals have seen in that second year, for example of 895 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 5: Michael Wilson, how good he has looked, and the Garrett 896 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 5: Williams has really taken a step from a lot of 897 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 5: people are really placed with a Garrettlliams looks like And 898 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 5: there's no doubt he is a starting Sloughter Nickel corner 899 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 5: right now. 900 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 4: I think he could be rotated a lot more than 901 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 4: he was a year ago. They found a home for 902 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 4: him inside, but I could see him playing all over. 903 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 4: He's consistently working with the safety group, but do we 904 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 4: see him maybe a little bit outside more than we 905 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 4: did a year ago. 906 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 6: And he's on the same timeline as Kyler Murray. I 907 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 6: mean it's his second year after Nacy el tear. You know, physically, 908 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 6: he should be like years ahead of where he was 909 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 6: last year. So his confidence and and he you know, 910 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 6: he got that valuable experience last year, so he's he 911 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,800 Speaker 6: should be much better and a much bigger contributor this 912 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 6: year to the defense. 913 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 5: And his football IQ is off the charts. Kard Williams, 914 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 5: he is already so bored with a college game. He 915 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 5: jokes about that. I mean he really enjoys the challenge 916 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 5: of the schemes of the NFL. 917 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 4: Really, would you expect anything less from someone who comes 918 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 4: from the fine. 919 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 5: Well, the other higher level. Maybe the Syracuse scheme is 920 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 5: so simple. Maybe that's why with. 921 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 4: It walked right into that one.
