00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: All right.

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: So it was a few years ago. It's hard to

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: remember exactly, but I got ripped, I mean ripped on

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: social media and it went something along the lines of

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: yours truly using the old standby line that sports is

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: the original reality TV, and some random response was that

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: was my saying, you ripped me off. Of course I

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: have no idea who this person was, but they were

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: accusing yours truly of some sort of plagiarism. Okay, I'm

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: sure it was polyplagiarism, because I'm sure I ripped it

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 2: off from someone else. But this is my intro, Danny,

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: to put it to you. Is this season, more than

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: any other in recent memory, basically an addition of Survivor?

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: Isn't that like your all time favorite show Survivor? Is

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: it still on the air? Do you still watch it?

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: Well, all those questions have different answers. Yes, it is

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: still Yes, it is still on the air. Yes, I

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 4: watch it. No, it's not my favorite show. I do

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: enjoy it. I actually did start watching until like two

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: or three years ago, when I had a friend and

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: a former coworker on, and then when I moved out here,

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: it was all around the same time, and I had

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: friends who watched, so I kind of got into it.

39
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: Then you knew someone who's actually in the show.

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 3: Oh, I did too. One one of the seasons I knew.

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: So if we had worked at the Tribute and she

42
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: ended up going on the show, that's the one season

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: I watched. That's not my friend, no, because that's way

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: that's probably when you were in like first grade.

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: There are probably way more episodes than I have any

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: idea about. If you both know people who have been

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: in the show.

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: Well, the show's been on for like twenty five years.

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

50
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Danny McCrae, a former Cowboys player who now worked

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 4: for the Cowboys, was on Survivor a couple of years ago.

52
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: Okay, former NFL player. I'm guessing he fared pretty well.

53
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to spoil it. If you want to

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 4: go binge.

55
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: No, there's there's Look, there's a couple of things that

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: will never happen. I'm never gonna be able to dunk

57
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: a basketball and I will never ever go binge watch Survivors,

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: So lay it on me.

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 4: He did pretty well. Okay, he did not win it all,

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: but he did pretty well. I want to get back

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 4: and went on to other reality TV shows.

62
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: I want to get back to your original point, which

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: was the plagiarism. Polyplagiarism. The Great Dave McGinnis used to

64
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: say that it's it's not copying somebody, it's a research

65
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: that's good.

66
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: That's well, it all depends if there's attribution or not.

67
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: You should you too, should know that.

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: I've had enough people plagiaries off of me. You know,

69
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: you know, you know, you know what I'm going with this.

70
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: Little angel on your shoulder.

71
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: Disappointed, a little disappointed and Adam Schefter got to be honest.

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: I know Adam a little bit. But if you go

73
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: back and look at his Marvin Harrison tweet from Friday,

74
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: was Friday, right Friday, Darren, and you go and you

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: go look with the great Zach Gershman wrote at the

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: beginning of our injury report on the website right before

77
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: that tweet.

78
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, well you know there was a he did

79
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: add a comma somewhere, so.

80
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: You know comed my English teacher wife said, shouldn't have

81
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: been in there in the first place.

82
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Just throwing a rando comma.

83
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: Look, Adam's making millions of dollars a year to do

84
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: what he does. He'll he'll live with a little bit

85
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: of criticism.

86
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't tweet his own stuff. He's got people that

87
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: do that for him, right, I mean, let's be honest,

88
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: either that or AI at this point, come on, now.

89
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: Greeleer tweets for me. Did you know that? No, I

90
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: have to approve everything.

91
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look into that. Wow. Really Okay, okay, what

92
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: is Greelow's rate. I'm going to hire him as well.

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: Can I see? That's the best part. I've made it

94
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: part of his job description.

95
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: You never got me a rate on pest control from

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: last week, That's true. You never got me on that.

97
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: And over the weekend, I just discovered some termites at

98
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: our place. So do you handle.

99
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: That's outsourced?

100
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: You're a past control professional.

101
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: I will say this apropos of nothing other than I

102
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: need to include this for Paul. All right, we had

103
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: we have a longtime fan apparently reached out on Twitter

104
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: to Paul and myself said he was coming to the

105
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: game this weekend and he was hoping to meet us.

106
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: It was his it was his dream to meet the

107
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: two of us. I told him. I said, look, Paul

108
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: is a busy busy I mean, you have no idea

109
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: the amount of work Paul Calvisy does on game days unbelievable. However,

110
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: I I do have the time to come down to

111
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: meet you. So I went and met Cole, a former

112
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 3: service person, so thank you for your service. But I

113
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: met Cole and said hello, and we took a picture together,

114
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: and he couldn't have been more complimentary. Of what we

115
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: do here and wishing, of course that he could have

116
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: fulfilled his dream of meeting Paul Calvis. But it didn't.

117
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: No disrespect to Cole, Yeah name, dream bigger, No disrespect

118
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: to the two of you, but yeah, dream bigger, exciting, exciting,

119
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: we love, we love a long time valued listener and

120
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: expressing that then and.

121
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: Then he said, I think that was double barrel diss

122
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: to all involved.

123
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: He messaged, he messaged me this morning just to say

124
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: that he had a great time. Obviously the Cardinals one

125
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: and his wife bought season tickets for next year.

126
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: So about that, did you did you wave your feet?

127
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: Because I was going to respond, and then it totally

128
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: slipped my mind. I was gonna, you know, Darren normally

129
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: charges for autographs, so I didn't know if that was

130
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 2: actually part of the Okay, so the gig, the clock

131
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: hits triple zero, and on the radio side, Ron wolfully exclaims,

132
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: the Cardinals season is still alive. Sensational, salacious, hyperbolic or accurate?

133
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: Was that a season saving win by the Arizona Cardinals.

134
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: I am going to say it's yes or no, Darren, Yes,

135
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 3: it was a season saving win. Okay, Danny I'm not

136
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: talking the rest.

137
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 4: Of the podcast barely, I'll agree. I think that was

138
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 4: considered a season saving win. You put yourself in a

139
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: situation where you're three and four, you are one game

140
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: back from Seattle in the division, second place in the

141
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 4: NFC West. Because the Cardinals have won every divisional game.

142
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: There were also some game saving plays early on. It's

143
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: a very different situation had the Cardinals not won that

144
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 4: game and you are sitting at two and five, that

145
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: is a very very deep hole to dig yourself out

146
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: of to have any sort of hope of playoff contention

147
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: later in the season once other teams also start rolling.

148
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: I do think that's fair to say it was a

149
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: season saving win.

150
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: Especially when you start talking about the fact that they

151
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: got to go on a two day trip to Miami.

152
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: Who's going to get to back this week? I mean,

153
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: you got a chance to do some things now, But

154
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: if you were, if you were sitting there at two

155
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: and five and making this cross country, that's a tough

156
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: road to hoe.

157
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: I mean, what are the odds, you know, Cardinals can't

158
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: get Skyler Thompson or Tim Boyle or Tyler Huntley. You know,

159
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: the NFL's lowest scoring offense the past month minus to us.

160
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: So okay, that's cool. You know you want their best shot.

161
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: We'll get to the Dolphins in a minute. By the way,

162
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: I updated the stat because I know you guys want

163
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: to hear it. The Cardinals' four losses are against opponents

164
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: who now have twenty wins combined five win Buffalo, Detroit, Washington,

165
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: and Green Bay. And I bring that up because like

166
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: a team like Chicago that has four wins have come

167
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: against opponents who have six wins combined. So you know what.

168
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 2: The other way in which this win saves your season

169
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: is guess what, the second half of your schedule. The

170
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: rest of your schedule is unlike the first part of

171
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: your schedule, So at least it keeps you in the

172
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: mix once again. Survivor. You survive the week, and then

173
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: you go ahead, you regroup, you regame plan. Hopefully you

174
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 2: reload Darius Robinson. We'll see at some point and then boom,

175
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: you play it from there because every week has its

176
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: own challenges. Just like I'm guessing a survivor never seen it.

177
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna presume, and then all of a sudden,

178
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: you got to recalibrate, and here you go.

179
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: You what, Paul, I think you should watch Survivor because

180
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: Jeff Probes is a really great host. He's actually pretty

181
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: funny and engaging. And when the contestants are doing these

182
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: challenges and like they're not eating, they're not sleeping, and

183
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: they are like drowning in the water, they can't Like

184
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: he's in their face telling them, essentially they need to

185
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: pick it up.

186
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: It's good.

187
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: I was like, are you going to this?

188
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: He's like a drill sergeant.

189
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: Okay, I think you'd enjoy him as a host.

190
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: I was just enjoying it. I say, I thought you

191
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: were going down the road like Jeff Props is really good. Paul,

192
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: you should learn some things. That's what I really felt.

193
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Sho, I think you could relate.

194
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: The thought bubble was said best practices, Paul, you know,

195
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: tune in and try and learn something. That's what she

196
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: was really Let me ask.

197
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: You a question. Does the schedule really get easier? I mean,

198
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: are the Dolphins? What are the Dolphins now?

199
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: It can't be any harder than the way it started.

200
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: Well, maybe, but like they're not going to be a

201
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: typical under five hundred team. If Tua is back and.

202
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 4: Dolphins are two and four because they've already had a buy.

203
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: Week two and four.

204
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: So look, all I know is uh, you know, And

205
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: we're going to get into this the Cardinals passing game.

206
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: Somehow jal and Waddle and Tyreek Kill had one catch

207
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: apiece for like twenty yards combined.

208
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: You think they're a little anxious to get somebody out

209
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: there who can throw the.

210
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: Ball complete non factors, which brings us And We're gonna

211
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: get to James Connor here in a minute, but let's

212
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: just get the whole passing attack out of the way

213
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna update this one as well. So after

214
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: your receiver crew had five catches on a dozen targets

215
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: against Green Bay, what happened against the Chargers They had

216
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: the exact same five catches on a dozen targets. Go

217
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: ahead and assess the state of the pass game. How

218
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: close is it to clicking? Because I think we all agree,

219
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: and there might be only one thing we agree on

220
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: this entire edition of Cardinals Underground, brought to you by

221
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: Pacific Office Automation, that if and when the Cardinals pass

222
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: game really does click, look out right, I mean it's

223
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: it is a glaring omission in this offense right now,

224
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: and your inability to keep a defense truly honest and

225
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: compliment the Kyler and James Conner run game. You know,

226
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: it is what's holding this team back.

227
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 4: This Cardinals offense still has a ways to go to

228
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 4: be truly balanced. Their run game top notch, the passing

229
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 4: game still is not there through six weeks postgame, running

230
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: back James Connor said in terms of the run game

231
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 4: doesn't really click, it's a process. This is a process

232
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: driven team. So it's week after week putting in the work,

233
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 4: trusting that work in the process, and that's how things

234
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: start to click. That's taking a lot longer in the

235
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 4: passing game, and it's a combination of things. There were

236
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 4: multiple dropped passes on good throws by the receivers and

237
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: Sunday's win against the Chargers, they're also a handful of

238
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 4: throws that were short or overhead and not in the

239
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 4: right spot. That's not only execution, that's also communication and

240
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: making sure everybody's on the same page. You got to

241
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 4: find a way to get the job done with your receivers.

242
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 4: It's great that tight end Trey McBride continues to show

243
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: up when his number is called and be reliable and dependable.

244
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: It's great to have a any back like James Connor

245
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: who can also catch the ball as a receiver. You

246
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: need more from your receivers. Otherwise you're just going to

247
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: be one dimensional and defenses are going to know how

248
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: to contain you, and that's going to make life really difficult,

249
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 4: as we've already seen a handful of times this year

250
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: when the Cardinals can't run the ball.

251
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: I mean, James Connor is so good. How good is he?

252
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: How good is he that he actually did the unthinkable

253
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: and got the LA Chargers out of shell coverage. That's

254
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: according to Jonathan Gannon, right. So at that point, because

255
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: that's what you've been striving for for X number of weeks,

256
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: you got to get the opposition out of shell coverage

257
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: Hole two hi safety, keep everything in front of him

258
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: once that goes away, because they out of necessity, they

259
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: have to put that extra safety in the box. You know,

260
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: at that point on paper release. Theoretically, that's where you

261
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: hit them with the chunk pass game, right, the downfield

262
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: passing attack. And that's what I mean that if and

263
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: when that finally clicks, that's when you're going to see

264
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: this offense at its best. But right now, there seems

265
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: to be this this limitter on the offense. You know,

266
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: I know you're a big NASCAR guy, Darren. They put

267
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 2: these limitters on, you know, some of these restrictor plate

268
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: they see. I knew that you knew the correct terminology.

269
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: Don't sandbag over here.

270
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 3: I grew up in the South Pod. I don't know

271
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: if you mean it. Here's here's the thing. I do think.

272
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: I do think, and I think we saw it last

273
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 3: year in part because Kyler came back. But you can't

274
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: improve as the year goes on. At the same time,

275
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: we are now seven games in, like we're we're right

276
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: near the midway point of the season. At what point

277
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: do you start saying, Okay, this is what they're going

278
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: to be. And you know, I again, you try and

279
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: fix it. But if you have the same people and

280
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: you have the same coaches, I don't I don't know

281
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 3: how much different it can be. And you know, again,

282
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: if we if we look at something that is a

283
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: a microcosm of what we're talking about, it's the Marvin

284
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: Harrison Junior and what's going on there like that, Yes,

285
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: they got bailed out by that the flag at the

286
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: end of the game, but before he got hit and

287
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: it was a penalty. It should have been a penalty.

288
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: In my opinion, he dropped that pass for and I

289
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: don't understand why, and it it just nothing seems to

290
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: be going the way people thought it was going to

291
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: go with him. And that includes him, That includes Kyler,

292
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: that includes the coaching staff, that includes all of us

293
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: who covered this team, and includes the fan base.

294
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: I mean everybody who just figured and factored him in

295
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: for the next Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase truly. Uh yeah.

296
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: It's a reminder there is no absolute when it comes

297
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: to the NFL Draft. There is no surefire plug and play.

298
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: Everyone has their own timeline and learning curve. I will

299
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: go back to the four c's that we introduced last week.

300
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: Actually, so we introduced a lot more than four climate Copper.

301
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: Oh wait, when you when.

302
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: You bought by the way, I went and looked it up.

303
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: So it's cut collar, clarity, carrot. That's the whole diamond

304
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: ring thing I was.

305
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: I was doing the five seas of Arizona. No, no,

306
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: I'm talking about Arizona.

307
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: It's good though, which I did. If I need a

308
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: fist sea, then I'll evoke Arizona but right now, I'm

309
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: using the whole diamond ring analogy. But the four seas

310
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: as of last week, you all you checked the box

311
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: of concussion. That was one and then it was comfortable.

312
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: How comfortable is he in the offense?

313
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 3: Doesn't?

314
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: Okay?

315
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 4: Uh?

316
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: Contested? How many contested catches did he ever have at

317
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: Ohio State? This appears to be a process.

318
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: I off off the top of my head. The one

319
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 4: that stands out would be that touchdown catch at home

320
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: against the Rams when that defender's arm was in his

321
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 4: face the back of the goal line and still made

322
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: that catch for that touchdown.

323
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: That seems like four years ago. Yeah.

324
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: The lesson learned here is that virtually every catch in

325
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: the NFL is contested, right and then the last one

326
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: was confident? Where is it? Where is confidence right now?

327
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: And to answer your question, you know, does that same

328
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: throw in that same situation at the end of the

329
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: first quarter against the Rams is at a catch because

330
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: he's rolling and he's confident. But now four games later

331
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: and coming out of concussion protocol, and here comes a big,

332
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: bad defensive back with a head of steam. All of

333
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: a sudden, maybe your eyes and hands are or elsewhere.

334
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: The confidence and the comfortability go hand in hand. If

335
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: you're not feeling comfortable, then you're not going to feel confident.

336
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: What you have to figure out is how do you

337
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: get to that point? Is it a situation where this

338
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: offense is going to side? We're going to keep feeding

339
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison Junior the ball, not necessarily forcing it if

340
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: it's not there, and it's not the smart call. But

341
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: are we going to continue to feed him the ball

342
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 4: so he's getting those reps? Or is the right call

343
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 4: to not do that and to get Harrison running maybe

344
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: different routes, shorter routes, more into the middle of the field,

345
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: plays that aren't going to be those chunk explosives, game

346
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: changing plays, and more of those smaller yardage to move

347
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 4: the chains and build that confidence and that comfortability that way.

348
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: I mean one thing, And I don't know what it

349
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: looks like from the press box. Sometimes it can be

350
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes the sideline is the best and or

351
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: the worst at the same time. But is he still

352
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: getting extra attention do you guys when you're up in

353
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: the press box or you're keeping half an eye on

354
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: eighteen and is he still drawing that gravitational pull the

355
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: defense towards it.

356
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 4: There are times that Greg George touchdown if you looked

357
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: on the other side of the field, they had another

358
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 4: high high safety waiting in the end up racket coverage there.

359
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 3: Okay, but again, are we going to start? It goes

360
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: back to that same thing where it's like, are are

361
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: we gonna say he's out of the mix if they're

362
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: going to give him attention? And the other problem right

363
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 3: now is even if he is and you're going other places,

364
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: you're not getting the production there either. It was weird yesterday.

365
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: Danny already kind of mentioned it because of the up

366
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: and down, but like early in the game, it felt

367
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 3: like everybody, multiple guys were dropping the ball. Yeah, and

368
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 3: then up until that last hair drop, it felt like

369
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: all of a sudden for a stretch there in the

370
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: second half, Kyler was having trouble getting it to where

371
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: he needed it to be. There was this a Jay

372
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 3: Jones got one target yesterday and he was open and

373
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: Kyler just threw it behind him.

374
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: Unless is Jay Jones supposed to settle in this all.

375
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: That, and there was I think there was a Michael

376
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: Wilson play like that.

377
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 4: Too, The Michael Wilson play where he drew the DPI

378
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: was short.

379
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 2: So like when you hear to me, when you hear

380
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: coaches and players say details, that's code for uh mental error,

381
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: for dial it in, that's fair focus. And are those

382
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: two plays we just cited an example of that, you know?

383
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: For look, I think one thing the Cardinals has seen

384
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 2: most every week except for the Rams game, where they

385
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: decided just to play man and you know, then they

386
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: paid the price and they came out of it by

387
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: the middle of the second quarter. Otherwise, what they've seen

388
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: is a lot of the two high safety, the shell coverage.

389
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: But more importantly, I think is disguising coverage's pre snap

390
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: post snap. So it was showing thing pre snap, boom

391
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 2: the ball snapped and all of a sudden, it's totally different. Now,

392
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: how much of that do you get in college? I

393
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: did a little poll some of the receivers in the room,

394
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 2: and DB's not a lot. So there's another aspect of

395
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 2: the learning curve if you're a young receiver, is the

396
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: disguising a coverage is because if you're running choice routes

397
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: and option routes and you have to be on the

398
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 2: same page as Kyler and you have to read it

399
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: like a quarterback and now all of a sudden, the

400
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: receivers are translating it differently than Kyler. That's how you're

401
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 2: not on the same page. And ostensibly that's what happened

402
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: the first half of twenty thirteen, right with Carson Palmer

403
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: and the Cardinals receivers. Now it finally clicked and they

404
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: got it in gear. But it was actually even worse

405
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: under Carson Palmer. There was a whole rash of interceptions

406
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: thrown by him back in the day.

407
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that wasn't a good time.

408
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 4: Marvin Ayrrison Junior as a rookie is going to need

409
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 4: time to get comfortable with the speed of the game,

410
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: with the offense, all of those things that come into play.

411
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: Even if you're a fourth overall pick. What's concerning is

412
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 4: the other wide receivers and not being able to make

413
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: those big time plays. Even before Harrison was on the

414
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 4: team last year, when the Cardinals were without a number

415
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 4: one receiver when Hollywood Brown got hurt, there were problems

416
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 4: in the passing game and the receivers were not able

417
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 4: to step up. You were relying on tight end Trey McBride,

418
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 4: you were relying on Connor out of the backfield. That's

419
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 4: what it feels like now. It feels similar, feels similar

420
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 4: in that sense of the rest of your receivers aren't

421
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 4: stepping up the way you need to in the rest

422
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 4: of that room with the depth I know we only

423
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 4: have a one game sample size for Jay Jones as

424
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: a receiver, so that's not necessarily the main talking point here.

425
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 4: You still need more from the rest of your receivers.

426
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: You can give your fair share of criticism or frustration

427
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 4: to Harrison with those dropped passes. If there is miscommunication

428
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: on his end of where he needs to be lined

429
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: up or where his route needs to break, you still

430
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 4: need to give him a little grace and fairly criticize

431
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: the rest of that room. I feel you.

432
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: Mentioned last season, and you are correct, Danny, as I

433
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: always am. Last week, maybe it was two weeks ago,

434
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: I said to Craig Griela, I said, wasn't there that

435
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: stretch of the season, the end of last year, And

436
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: you know, come on, Greed, get off your rear, figure

437
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: it out. And yes, indeed, the three games before the

438
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 2: Philly win at Pittsburgh, San Francisco, at home at Chicago Cardinals,

439
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: receivers had ten catches on thirty three targets over that

440
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: three game span. There was that similar drought, if you will.

441
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: So here's the fifth se I'm throwing into. Okay, we

442
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: have a comfortable confidence contested concussion no longer effect correctible?

443
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: Is the fifth c correctable? How correctable is it?

444
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: Is?

445
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: It a matter of time? It was last season down

446
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: this stretch they did figure it out and it was

447
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: much more productive. But uh, I'd say I'm probably captain

448
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: obvious if I go with the following. If I'm the

449
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: Miami defensive staff, I'm going to put a spy on Kyler.

450
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: I'm going to even put a run spy on James Connor,

451
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna make you throw it to beat us.

452
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: And until you prove you can guess what, you're gonna

453
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 2: get tested. That's just And if you look at the duble,

454
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: you guys remember my double barrel run game. It was

455
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: roll out the double Barrel run game. I won't go

456
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: through all of it, but when you get James Connor

457
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: and Kyler reference to Green Bay, it was yes, because

458
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: that's stinking roll out the barrel thing they played to

459
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: start the fourth quarter was still you know, stuck in

460
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 2: my head. And so anyway, you look at it, the

461
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: games where one or the other was taken away, the

462
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: opponent wins. James Connor against Detroit nine for seventeen, Detroit wins.

463
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: Kyler against Washington one carry for three yards. I was

464
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 2: early in the first quarter. Obviously a big win there.

465
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: Now you go to the latest, what happens James Connor

466
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 2: over one hundred yards rushing, Kyler six for sixty four.

467
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: Cardinals win. If you can get both of those guys

468
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: rushing the ball effectively, Cardinals win. So if I'm an

469
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: opposing defensive coordinator, I think it's pretty obvious right now

470
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: where you're devoting a lot of your assets.

471
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 4: The Dolphins have the number one passing defense. They're allowing

472
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 4: an average of just one hundred and fifty five passing

473
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 4: yards per game, So that would be a pretty good

474
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: game plan for them.

475
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I wouldn't doubt that. I mean, but I

476
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 3: would think that that's I'm a little surprised that's not

477
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: what happened. I think the Chargers actually would I don't

478
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 3: know about the Kyler part, but I think they were

479
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 3: They wanted to make sure that Connor didn't go anywhere.

480
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: They've been doing a good job against the run. I

481
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: just think Connor out connored them.

482
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: True, you're right. Well, we'll get into James Connor in

483
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: a minute. The question is should I change my game

484
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: plan going into wise Guy trivia? Can I adjust to

485
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: the adjustment or is it just the Woebegone season where

486
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm tracking to be the own sixteen Lions. Let's find out.

487
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: Hips time for the wise Guy the world's Bestest Growing

488
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals quiz show. The stakes are low, the.

489
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: Winner gets absolutely nothing.

490
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: Here's your hostess with the mostess Denny's sir, right, let

491
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: me think.

492
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 4: About who won last week to decide to receive or defer.

493
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 4: I think it was Darren.

494
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: It was I'm going to defer this week, Danny.

495
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 4: Very kind of you.

496
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: Just think of who won every other week and then

497
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: that would be your answer. And don't say in the

498
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: intro that the winner or the loser gets nothing. I mean,

499
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm wearing the scarlet letter L right now. That's backwards

500
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: Paull season scarlet letter L. This season, I thought maybe

501
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: it'd be reversed on camera. See I'm already out of

502
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: the gates.

503
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 4: Owen one, Here we go, Paul, pick a number one

504
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: through four for your.

505
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: Question obviously too.

506
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 4: Okay, here we go. In twenty nineteen, the Cardinals traded

507
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 4: for this Dolphins player who would go on to score

508
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 4: eighteen touchdowns in twenty three games with the.

509
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 2: Cardinals, Kenyon Drake.

510
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: He didn.

511
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 4: Paul on the process.

512
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 2: Here we go out of the gates. This is uh.

513
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: I know, I just feel that. Yep, the winds are

514
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: a changeing. I can feel them.

515
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: Darren, pick a number.

516
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with for Denny.

517
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: You know, we don't know how Darren reacts when he's trailings.

518
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: Can he come from behind? We don't know it. He

519
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: hasn't been testing.

520
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: Let's find out. At the end of the two thousand

521
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 4: and eight season, the Cardinals played in Super Bowl forty three.

522
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 4: Two members of that team became Miami Dolphins later in

523
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 4: their careers. Name them.

524
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Carlos Dansby and Kalais Campbell.

525
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 4: Correct.

526
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: Wow, that's pretty good.

527
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

528
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: I was going to answer Bruce Springsteen. How about a

529
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: halftime question?

530
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: Come on, Klais is there right now? Right? I think

531
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 3: he's there right now?

532
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 4: Yes? And Carlos Dansby was twenty to twenty twelve.

533
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 2: We're going to see the Big Man on Sunday, they

534
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: are all camps.

535
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 4: For those of you that also watched Love Island, and

536
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 4: we're going to see Cordell's brother. No idea Odell Beckham Junior.

537
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: Come on, well, Jalen.

538
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: Is that next to Survivor Island?

539
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: No?

540
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 4: Very different shows? Very well, we'll discuss off air.

541
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: At least Tyree Kill and Jalen wattall had one catch.

542
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: Odell put the O in Odell? He had Jack Here

543
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: we go?

544
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: Question one or three oh three? In nineteen eighty four,

545
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 4: Dan Marino through forty eight touchdown passes to help propel

546
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 4: the Dolphins to the Super Bowl. His top two targets

547
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 4: had a lot in common. Both had over thirteen hundred

548
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: yards receiving, both made the Pro Bowl, and both had

549
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: the first name Mark. Can you name that.

550
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: Gave up the first names? You should have made him

551
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: figure those out.

552
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: I already had Duper and Clayton I had it correct.

553
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: Was the forty nine ers, Jack Stam, Danny Marino and

554
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: Super Bowl nineteen eighty four?

555
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 4: Are we gonna have to go to a tie breaker?

556
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 2: Darren isn't getting this one show. He's gripping. I can tell.

557
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: In the nineteen ninety four comedy ace Ventura pet detective.

558
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 4: Oh no, Jim Carrey's car.

559
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: Is such an amo question?

560
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: This is right in my wheelhouse.

561
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: Jim Carrey's character ace Ventura was hired to rescue the

562
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: kidnapped Miami Dolphins mascot. What was the name of the

563
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 4: bottlenose dolphin who was taken from his tank at the stadium?

564
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: The hell? Would I better?

565
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 4: You better really think, because if not, Paul's going to

566
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: get his first one of the seasons.

567
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: I understand, but I don't know the name of the

568
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 3: damned I don't know.

569
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 4: Squeaky A bad guess.

570
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what question was that number one?

571
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah? So like whoever picked number one was going to

572
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 3: lose this week?

573
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 4: Can you steal?

574
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: Can I steal the dolphins name from ace Ventura?

575
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 4: No idea, snowflake flake? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the unthinkable

576
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 4: has happened. Paul has one, wise guy. Let's do the

577
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: tiebreaker just for fun. Let's do it just for fun,

578
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: since we don't write the I knew you could do it.

579
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 4: Let's see who can get closest to this number.

580
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: At least I'm not mathematically eliminated yet.

581
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 4: Oh well, here's go speaking at math Boy. Dolphins defensive

582
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 4: lineman kalay Is Campbell y has collected one hundred and

583
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: seven and a half sacks during his seventeen NFL seasons.

584
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: Seventeen?

585
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: How many sacks did Campbell register in his nine year

586
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 4: career with the Cardinals?

587
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: Okay? Are we writing this down? Are we just blurting

588
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: it out?

589
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 4: Write it down?

590
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: This is this is my seven year career with the Cardinals.

591
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: How many okay, nine year career with the car nine

592
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: year career.

593
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 4: I know, one hundred and seven and a half total sacks?

594
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, I got it right here.

595
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 4: Okay, what's your number?

596
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: Paul?

597
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: Okay, sixty one?

598
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 4: Darren?

599
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 3: I said sixty.

600
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 4: Four fifty six and a half. So Paul would have

601
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 4: gotten the tiebreaker.

602
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: How about that? Okay?

603
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 3: All is the best?

604
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: You know.

605
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: That's why I idolize him.

606
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: It's a decisive win.

607
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 4: Congratulations, It's a confidence building win.

608
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully the sixth se is consistency. I need to carry

609
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: this over to next week, obviously, is what I need

610
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: to do.

611
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 4: I for one am shocked, I'll be honest.

612
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: The uh well, I was just sandbagging, really is what

613
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: I was doing.

614
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: Clearly a Miami fan here.

615
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 2: You know, I just it's sort of like, you know,

616
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: if we went to the pool hall or out to

617
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: the golf course, I would sandbag over the first you know,

618
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: part of the competition, and then you put all your

619
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: listips in.

620
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: Speaking of ace ventur, this is where I pull out

621
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 3: my ace in the hole. This is a good time

622
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: to talk about the picks.

623
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 4: Okay, I thought we were gonna maybe forget it.

624
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: Darren went twelve and two this pass week and take

625
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 3: a one game lead over Paul, who went eleven and three. Okay,

626
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: Danny struggles at seven and seven and she's now ten

627
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 3: games below Darren in the standings.

628
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 4: If anything, this is just validation that I follow the

629
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 4: NFL gambling rules by not gambling, because I clearly don't

630
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 4: know what I'm doing comes to making picks.

631
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: We're not even using the spread here, So.

632
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 2: The fact you're prohibited from gambling saves you a lot

633
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: of money. Yeah, me too.

634
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 4: Rough week for me, seven and seven. Who did I pick?

635
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question. Who were you picking? Well?

636
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: I deserve outside first place for actually picking the Jets

637
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: over coach Tomlin taking.

638
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: I think I picked the Steelers.

639
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: The interim staff about as idiotic as it gets. So

640
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: when I'm out on Aaron Rodgers, then you know, you

641
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 2: know what he's It's an uphill climb for him when

642
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: it comes.

643
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: From I didn't I pick the Jets. I really thought

644
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 4: DeVante Adams was gonna turn things.

645
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: Made a hell of a tackle, Danny, He sure did.

646
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: How about the heck of a pregame speech by James Connor?

647
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: That is my segue. We're speaking of gambling, so to speak.

648
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: He said, push all your chips in. That was his

649
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: message on Sunday night leading into the Monday night game.

650
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: I want to go around the horn and everybody just

651
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: give a thought a reaction something on James Connor that

652
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: you know, you think is compelling that you want to convey.

653
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: Kelvin Beacham, this is a real snapshot of what sort

654
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: of game it was. The postgame radio interview, there was

655
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: an open folding chair over in the corner of the

656
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: locker room and Beach walked over and right before we

657
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: were about to go live with a radio interview, he said,

658
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: can I sit down? Absolutely, thirteen year veteran, and he

659
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: sat down and proceeded to call James Connor quote the

660
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: lifeblood and heartbeat of this team end quote and coming

661
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: from Calvin Beacham, you know, I mean that's a future

662
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: governor slash CEO somewhere, somehow, some way, it's going to happen.

663
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: I just, you know, it really resonates. And then he

664
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: among others, brought up what James Connor had to say,

665
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: and if nothing else, it wasn't necessarily what he said,

666
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: but the fact that he was compelled to speak, right,

667
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 2: I mean, based on the fact, like Kylo and others said,

668
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: you know, he's really a lead by example type of

669
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: team captain. So when he does speak, I mean, you know,

670
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it really does resonate with guys.

671
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think anything was said or we

672
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: saw anything different Monday night about James Connor that we

673
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: already didn't know, but again, to see it out there,

674
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't have the best game in Green Bay,

675
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: he didn't have the best game against the Lions, and

676
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 3: then he's rallied and had these great games to follow up.

677
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: And I just think that one I'm fascinated to see

678
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: what happens with this contract situation because he is going

679
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: to be a free agent after the year, and it

680
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: just becomes more and more clear all the time what

681
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: he does mean to this team. And you don't know

682
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: what's going to happen, and he's going to be thirty

683
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 3: and all these things. But I mean, he's playing the

684
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 3: best football of his career and as much of an

685
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: icon as he was for a short time in Pittsburgh

686
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: because of where he went to college and where he's

687
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: from and all that stuff, he has absolutely been a

688
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: better player as an Arizona Cardinal and you can see

689
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: it all the time on about a thousand different levels.

690
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 4: Connor's a warrior in his personal life, the adversity he's

691
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: battled through, and how he carries that onto the football field.

692
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 4: Nineteen carries for more than one hundred yards. He had

693
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 4: eight mistackles forced, and early on in that game, he

694
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 4: had an incredible game saving play by forcing the fumble.

695
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 4: It was an interception by Murray to a defensive lineman,

696
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 4: and Connor doesn't give up on the play, tracks down

697
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 4: that d lineman from behind, punches the ball and it's

698
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 4: recovered and the Cardinals are able to keep that possession alive.

699
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 4: And that just encapsulates everything that Connor is of giving

700
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: his all every single play. He got you those dirty

701
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 4: runs against a stingy, number one scoring defense in the

702
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 4: league and the Chargers, and he helped keep that game alive.

703
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 4: On that final drive it was a checkdown that catch

704
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 4: that became a thirty three yarder and put the Arnold's

705
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: in position for a winning field goal. He leads by example,

706
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 4: He leads with his words when it's time to do

707
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 4: that as a captain in the locker room. He is

708
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: everything you would want to build an offense around.

709
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: And he doesn't run over Danny on the sideline, which

710
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 3: is a plus.

711
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 4: Very yeah, very kind of him. What you had a

712
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 4: close call, Yes, I tweeted about and if you look

713
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 4: at video, doesn't look close. But you understand, Paul. When

714
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 4: you're down there and there's camera guys and reporters in

715
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 4: front of you, and sometimes the depth perception is a

716
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 4: little off, those players come at you fast. And it

717
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 4: was on that thirty three yard catch where he ran out,

718
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 4: was pushed out of bounds at the sideline, and so

719
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 4: I'm also in like three inch heels, so I kind

720
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 4: of run out of the way with Alex, our camera operator,

721
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 4: and we move out of the way. And then when

722
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 4: Connor walks into the podium for his postgame press conference.

723
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: Before he even starts, he looks at me. He goes,

724
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 4: I almost ran you over, didn't I. I go, you

725
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 4: sure did, And then he laughed and complimented my agility.

726
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: That's good. I did not see that. That's well, you

727
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: know there's one role down there. Win in doubt, get

728
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 2: out of the way head on. Yeah, there's there's no

729
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: glory in hanging in believe me. Uh but it's interesting.

730
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: I saw on social media what Belichick was on the

731
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: Manning cast and when he had the force fumble from behind.

732
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I was the one who put that out there.

733
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So you want to read the quote or

734
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 2: I have it in front.

735
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 3: Of me, you use it in front of you, because

736
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: I got in front of me.

737
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 2: That guy is a football dude. That guy could play linebacker. Well,

738
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: what's ironical, as I make up a word, is that

739
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: he used to be a defender. He was once upon

740
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: a time in the same d line room with Aaron

741
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: Donald at Pitt So yes, he's been there and done

742
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 2: that before.

743
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a guy that when you talk about mentality

744
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 3: and wanting it to be a certain way if you're

745
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 3: a football coach, I think James Connor was always that guy.

746
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 3: He just happens to be playing running back and.

747
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 4: He reminded the media he was a linebacker at one

748
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 4: that's right.

749
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, well again he's first of all, big guys need

750
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 3: to be smart. I mean, what happened that the Saints

751
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: big guy who made the pick in the end zone

752
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago, Well, he knew what he was doing.

753
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 3: He held it high and tight. Yes, he did that

754
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: dude for the Chargers. He was all over the place. Now,

755
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: I will say this, if there's any check mark against

756
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: James Connor last night, he had just gone through that

757
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: whole thing early in the game, and then later he

758
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 3: let a guy come from behind him and tip it away.

759
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 3: Come on, dude, like you know this is happening.

760
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: By the way, I've heard he had eight missed force

761
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: tackles and I've heard ten, and I've heard eleven. So

762
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 2: there's now three different figures out there. Whatever the deal is,

763
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 2: I wrote.

764
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 3: Eleven, so I must be right.

765
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 2: Whatever the case is, it's in the arizon a Cardinal's

766
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: best interest to be in the game in the fourth

767
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: quarter because he is unstoppable in the fourth quarter. I'd

768
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: love an analytic on how effective he is in the

769
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. How many of those missed force tackles whatever

770
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: they call it, happened in the fourth quarter, because whether

771
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: it's wearing a defense down, whether that's real or imagine,

772
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: I don't know, but whether it's guys are at that

773
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 2: point are tired enough, they're real You're not interested in

774
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: tackling two hundred and thirty plus pound James Connor, but

775
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 2: it just seems like he is the key to victory

776
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 2: if it's a close game in the fourth quarter.

777
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 4: That puts opposing defenses in very difficult situations. Are you

778
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 4: going to prioritize keeping an eye on Connor and allow

779
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray to run the opposite way if he needs to,

780
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 4: or are you going to prioritize the quarterback and allow

781
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 4: Connor to get some extra yards and know that he's

782
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 4: going to break that first contact. It's a tough place

783
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 4: to be if you're a defense going up against the

784
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 4: Cardinals where that run game is rolling.

785
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: So here's the question I asked James Conner two weeks ago.

786
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: I've yet to get it into a broadcast because you know,

787
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 2: passion Wolf won't shut it enough for me to get

788
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 2: it in. But it was a conversation, and it's a

789
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: question I want to ask him for a long time.

790
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 2: And he's a really hard guy to get a hold of,

791
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: you know. I mean he's he's elusive, not only to

792
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: defenses but the media. Yes, and my question was one

793
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 2: question James here it is is vision as a running

794
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: back a god given gift or does it get better

795
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 2: with reps in years of experience? And he actually engaged

796
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 2: the question. I think I got half a smile, I think,

797
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 2: and he said, that is something that I have prided

798
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: myself on for a long time, that if you go

799
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: back and watch my film, that vision is something that

800
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: I think is a part of my skill set that

801
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 2: I do well. And he's sort of then after that,

802
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: he didn't that was as open as he was going

803
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 2: to get about it. But especially when you're down on

804
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: the sideline, you just realize the chaos that is the

805
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. I mean it's easy on all twenty two,

806
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 2: but I mean ask any quarterback right who has guys

807
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 2: bearing down on him. Are they able to see the field?

808
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 3: Well?

809
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: For James Connor, and these guys are flying at him

810
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: and ready to rip his head off. In fact, he's

811
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 2: able to set up blocks and find creases and running

812
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: lanes and move a linebacker with his eyes and then

813
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: go the other way and all these little things that

814
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: running backs do. He's obviously not the fastest or most

815
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 2: elusive guy. He's very physical, very hard to bring down.

816
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 2: But just his vision to me, the more I watch

817
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: and his ability to pick where to run is remarkable.

818
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 4: You don't have to be the fastest or the most

819
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 4: elusive to be successful and to really move the chains

820
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 4: as a running back in this league. Connor proves that.

821
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: He proves that you can still be more of that

822
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 4: old school big bulldozer, hard nosed runner that's going to

823
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 4: go downfield, wants to get tackled, wants that contact to

824
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 4: break through, and gets better the longer the game goes

825
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 4: on and he gets a little warm and he's really

826
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 4: making those defenders miss. He's a great example you don't

827
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 4: have to be small and shifty and elusive to be

828
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 4: one of the best backs these days.

829
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: Then again, you're getting a Dolphin team that is a

830
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: track team right in terms of Tyreek Hill and Jalen

831
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: Waddle and is it eight chan or a chain the

832
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: running back who's a track star as well, and he's

833
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: the leading rusher. And now if you get two a

834
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 2: back and to read between the lines of what Mike

835
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: McDaniel told the media, and he said, yeah, quarterback play

836
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 2: has not been good enough. They've used four different quarterbacks

837
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: this season. They've scored four points total in their last

838
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: four games because they've had miserable quarterback play. And you

839
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 2: hear Mike McDaniel tell it, Two was really the only

840
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: one who scooled up and or equipped enough to run

841
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: what he wants to be a very fast offense in

842
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 2: terms of decision making, footwork, playfakes. You know, the Jets

843
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 2: sweeps all the motions. There's a lot of niners in there,

844
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 2: obviously McDaniel and Kyle Shanahan, just at an even greater speed.

845
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 2: So I'm real curious. It's gonna be a really different

846
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: offense than the Chargers, which is more like bludgeing you right. Yeah,

847
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be a really different test.

848
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 3: A much different test. And it's gonna be completely different

849
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: because Two is in the lineup, because as you mentioned,

850
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 3: they have been nothing without him there. Now you're assuming

851
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: he's gonna come back without any rust, which we will

852
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 3: see what happens. Good point, but I think they're in

853
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: a much better position with him than without him. Uh,

854
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 3: and that's not an easy trip. It's again, and you

855
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 3: go and cross country, you're gonna have to fix your

856
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 3: body clock a little bit. I'm curious to see how

857
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 3: the Cardinals react to this one. They played so well

858
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 3: defensively on Monday night and keeping the Chargers out of

859
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 3: the end zone and not giving up any run plays.

860
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: But again, as you said, you have a couple of

861
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 3: superstar receivers that the Chargers most certainly did not have,

862
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 3: and can that change the equation?

863
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: By the way, I didn't realize that Antonio Pierce, the

864
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: head coach of the Raiders, went on the record and

865
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 2: told him to retire. He told the media recently that

866
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: was like right after it happened, right after it hired. Okay,

867
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: I guess I missed that. So yeah and so and

868
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: Tuas said, look, I'm willing to play the odds. Is

869
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: his words. When he met the media recently for the

870
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: end met the media since week two, it.

871
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 3: Was yesterday, it was Monday.

872
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 4: That was in reference also to not wearing a Guardian cap.

873
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 4: That was asked and.

874
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 2: He said, among other things, do I want to be

875
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: known for this No, but that's the cards I've been

876
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 2: dealt and given the history of it. So it is

877
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: what it is. And you know, it's the third concussion

878
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: of his NFL career and he's been medically cleared by

879
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 2: all the experts, according to Tua and the Dolphins, so

880
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 2: we'll see.

881
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 4: It is interesting how much can to a tag of

882
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 4: Iloa come back and be ready. This is when you're

883
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 4: talking about it's not just an eyesight of this Dolphins

884
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 4: offense that struggled their bottom of the league in third down,

885
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 4: fourth down, red zone, goal to goal field goal. I

886
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 4: mean they have struggled offensively across the board. The Cardinals

887
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 4: defense is coming off a strong performance. It's a different

888
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 4: group of receiver sure between the Chargers and the Dolphins,

889
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 4: with the caliber and the skill set there. The Cardinals, though,

890
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 4: their defense is going to have a lot of confidence

891
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: getting a little bit of pressure. You had three sacks,

892
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 4: You were able to stop the run. You were able

893
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 4: to just allow fifty nine rushing yards to that Chargers

894
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 4: offense with JK. Dobbins out of the backfield. That was

895
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 4: not an easy task, especially with the banged up d line.

896
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 4: He's allo some really good play from Arizona's secondary. Max

897
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 4: Melton had a really nice PBu. Garrett Williams had his

898
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 4: hand out there as well for some of them. Starlink

899
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 4: Thomas had that big forced fumble at the start of

900
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 4: the game. You saw some really nice things from a

901
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 4: Cardinals defense that was coming off a rough week in

902
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: Green Bay and they were able to bounce back nicely.

903
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, is the word of the week stack? You know,

904
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 2: a whole sesame Street style. The word of the week

905
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: is stack, as in stack two wins together.

906
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 4: Would that be your key?

907
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: It could be, It could be, I mean, I will say.

908
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: Manias Sipport was on ninety eighty seven with Wolf and

909
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: Luke right and he was asked, what's your biggest concern

910
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: this is going into Monday Night, and his answer was,

911
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 2: it's the overall inconsistency of our club. For us, the

912
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: frustrating part has been the inconsistency. So big picture, hit,

913
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: zoom out, big pick on the big red stack. You

914
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 2: have to get two wins in a row, two solid

915
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 2: performances in a row, and in this case, you're gonna

916
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: have a short week and you're gonna have three time zones.

917
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 2: We get it in the long plane flight the whole

918
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: deal in the early morning kickoff right on the East coast,

919
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 2: right Arizona time.

920
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 3: So will you be ready for that?

921
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: Paul, Well, i'd be ready. Yeah, Well, is that even

922
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: a question, Darren? I'm offended that day even I'm just

923
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 2: assuming I'm based on Green Bay. I wasn't ready saying.

924
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 3: That picture of you know, Miami Beach at night with

925
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 3: all those neon night clubs, and I'm like, Paul Calbici

926
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: gonna be out there? I mean, is he gonna be

927
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 3: ready for an early kickoff?

928
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 2: We vacationed in Miami this before we went on my

929
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 2: wife's family reunion cruise. We spent a couple of days

930
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 2: in Miami. I was not aware they considered that the

931
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: off season late June because of the heat we were

932
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 2: walking around everywhere. It was mid nineties. Yeah, I was humid,

933
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: but it was like one hundred and thirteen when we

934
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: left Phoenix, or like, eh, what's the big deal. We

935
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: walked all over Miami in late June, so you know,

936
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: actually it's a I was mesmerized by the by the cars.

937
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: There was a lot of supercars driving around Miami. There's

938
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 2: a lot of money in Miami.

939
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 4: I've never been this my first time.

940
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 3: Oh boy, I was lucky enough. The final right before

941
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 3: I got hired by the Cardinals. The final Super Bowl

942
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 3: I covered when I was a newspaper writer was in Miami,

943
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 3: and at the time I used to get a little

944
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 3: disappointed when I wouldn't get in the main media hotel

945
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: because I felt like, hey, I've been around all these

946
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 3: guys for a while. I deserved, but I was at

947
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 3: a publication that wasn't considered high rent enough. Well, when

948
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 3: we get to Miami, the convention Center in Miami is

949
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 3: actually only a few blocks from the beach. Nice. The

950
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 3: main media hotel was actually into the city, into the

951
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 3: inland a little bit. So like when you went from

952
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 3: the convention center and you shuttled to the main hotel,

953
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 3: you had to go towards inland. You had to cross

954
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 3: this bridge to get to the to the main media hotel.

955
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 3: The satellite hotels. If you didn't get in the main

956
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 3: media hotel, they were on the beach. So I got

957
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 3: to stay on the beach for a week and it

958
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 3: was awesome.

959
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: I bet. Hey, just the fact the water is warm

960
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: compared to like northern California, right in the Monterey Bay,

961
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 2: Oh boy, yeah, no doubt.

962
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: And as opposed to the last time we're there, Paul,

963
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 3: the forecast is no rain, so we'll keep our fingers lost.

964
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 2: Last time Cardinals were there twenty sixteen, right, eight years ago,

965
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, coming down in sheets the entirety of the game.

966
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 2: Patrick Peterson, who grew up like fifteen minutes from that stadium,

967
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: laughing at all us media pencil necks in the sideline.

968
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 3: Just it was pouring when we got in Friday night.

969
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 3: It was pouring most of Saturday when you wanted to

970
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 3: go do stuff. It was pouring all through the game.

971
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so last thing, as Halloween is around the corner,

972
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 2: more evidence that somehow our nation is consumed by zombies.

973
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 2: I just you know, reality TV is that it's over

974
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 2: and zombies. Like, what is our infatuation as a nation

975
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 2: was zombies? Because there's a new study that reveals which

976
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 2: NFL stadiums are best equipped for a spooky zombie apocalypse.

977
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 4: Somebody spent their time. What does that even mean? How

978
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 4: do you assess that?

979
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: So apparently the analyzed or range of factors at each

980
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 2: NFL stadium to evaluate which ones would best protect against

981
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: a swarm of zombies. Analytics and they were scored all

982
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 2: these factors to give each NFL stadium an overall survival

983
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 2: percentage score out of one hundred.

984
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 4: Me to guess Washington is worse.

985
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: And let's see here number one, enblow, please Darren.

986
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 3: That would be State Farm Stadium is the worst. You know,

987
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 3: it's it's the best, oh, the.

988
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 2: Best, best equipped to ward off a zombie apocalypse. Great,

989
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 2: So if there is a zombie apocalypse, boom head for the.

990
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 3: Nest survival rate percentage of seventy four point seven percent.

991
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 4: I wonder what the factors were that went into.

992
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 2: That marginfairor and that exactly.

993
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 4: So the cotton candy burritos.

994
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: So let's see. Okay. Factors included location such as proximity

995
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 2: to the nearest city center, populational local area UH, stadium

996
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: security features like the number of large and small entry

997
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: points in the number of what sections of whether the

998
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: stadium had a roof or better yet, a retractable roof. Okay,

999
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 2: there's a double ding right there. So, and whether the

1000
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: pitch was suitable for growing crops.

1001
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 3: I guess the capocalypse, Paul, you gotta be able to

1002
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 3: grow crops.

1003
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 2: What's the Mars movie with Matt Damon and he's growing

1004
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 2: crops on Mars Interstellar. I don't know, it's something like that. Yeah, okay,

1005
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 2: so uh and then whether you had proximity to a

1006
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 2: natural water source. I've seen that wasn't good.

1007
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 4: For the az But here's the thing. If that's the

1008
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 4: life you're living, I mean, is it really worth it

1009
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 4: at that point? Do you just become a zombie?

1010
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 3: Would you rather be a zombie? I mean, it's easy

1011
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 3: for you to sit here right now and say you'd

1012
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 3: just rather be a zombie, Danny, But I don't know.

1013
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 3: If you were facing you're right in the.

1014
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 4: Moment, I probably would want to survive. That's carpool if

1015
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 4: that happens. Can we can we agree to carpool?

1016
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm going to carpool with you, Danny and zombie

1017
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 3: save the Environment.

1018
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 2: I'm gonna blame it on the video game generation over

1019
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: the last thirty years or something, because like everything that

1020
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: you shoot, you know, those shoot them up games and

1021
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 2: video games, normally it's a zombie. Right, So then the zombies.

1022
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 2: Some of kids grow up with zombies and all of

1023
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 2: a sudden they're in movies and they're all over popular

1024
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 2: culture and TV shows and you know, all the ali like,

1025
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 2: that's that's that's my theory.

1026
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 3: There's a lot of analogies when it comes to zombies

1027
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 3: in the current culture.

1028
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 4: I would think, okay, question, are there not zombies in

1029
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 4: the Purge?

1030
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. I've never seen age.

1031
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 4: Neither have I.

1032
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 3: There's only been like one Purge movie, So yeah, I.

1033
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 4: Guess that's true.

1034
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 2: Hello, Okay, fact check here at the very end, there's

1035
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 2: been the Purge, Purge, anarchy, Purge election. You're first Purge,

1036
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: forever Purge. And by the way, they are shooting a

1037
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: six Purge movement. They are.

1038
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 4: Are you in it?

1039
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 2: Well, I've been trying to tell you that. You know

1040
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 2: it's it's going to be the big red Purge roster

1041
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 2: reset to twenty four.

1042
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 4: I thought you were being serious for a second.

1043
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: No, they are. They're shooting. No, they're really shooting a

1044
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 2: six to one.

1045
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 3: I mean, they are very popular. If they've reached Paul,

1046
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 3: who won't watch survivor.

1047
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: Mean, if it doesn't work in America.

1048
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 4: We also learned he doesn't watch Family Matters because he

1049
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 4: doesn't watch sitcoms.

1050
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 2: If it doesn't work in America.

1051
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was I was sure. An elevator with Steve

1052
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 4: Verkle pregame and you didn't know that.

1053
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 3: Did you get to talk to Baron Corbyn?

1054
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: I did not know. I wanted to. He was I

Speaker 2: He said, and I buried the lead on a right maybe.

1072
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 3: Maybe almost can get you the sound because it was

1073
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:08,479
Speaker 3: very enjoyable because Greelou when Greelu's eyes lit up when

1074

Speaker 3: former Cardinal came came to the game the other day.

1082

Speaker 3: He I asked him, like it was like a well

1083
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 3: known thing that you were not to be messed with.

1084
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 3: Everybody knew it, even even among the Darnell dockets of

1085
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: the team. Everybody, how did that happen? And he talked

1086
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,160

Speaker 2: And it was known like he was gold gloves boxer,

1090
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 2: he was a black belt, he had extensive mma experience. Right,

1091
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 2: this is what he did, this is who he was.

1092
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 2: Do not mess with him. And then Cody Brown made

1093
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 2: the mistake. Things got a little chippy at the end

1094
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: of a play and then all of a sudden, boom

1095
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 2: boom boom, Cody Brown's helmet was off and it was

1096
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 2: three shots to the chin.

1097
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 3: He said, he's like he was all worried he was

1098
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 3: going to get kicked off the team. And Russ Graham

1099
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 3: came over and gave him a hug and different times.

1100
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 2: That was the era where you know, they'd say, okay,

1101
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 2: wait a minute, this draft prospect got in a bar

1102
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 2: fight and then.

1103
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 3: Bruce Arians would have kicked him all out of practice.

1104
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 2: You know, the response back in the day was what's

1105
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 2: the problem. That's actually this is what we do. That's

1106
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 2: a plus in the Sky report.

1107
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 3: Anyways, We're sorry you missed Baron Corbyn.

1108
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a lot of celebrities at the game.

1109
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure Baron ola and ringside seats.

1110
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 3: One one quick last thing. He came back up to

1111
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 3: the press box. At one point Orlando, our buddy, Orlando,

1112
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 3: was showing him around that thing. He Orlando's like, where

1113
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 3: are you? I said, I'm in the press box. He goes,

1114
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 3: Tom has a question and I'm like, okay, what is it.

1115
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Baron has a question. I wanted to come

1116
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 3: back up. I'm like, okay, what is this? He goes, so,

1117
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 3: what are the rules of the practice squad? And I

1118
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 3: sat there for like five minutes talking to him about

1119
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 3: the practice squad because when he played, he was on

1120
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 3: the practice squad. But it was eight guys and you

1121
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 3: couldn't have more than two years of experience, and you

1122
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 3: certainly couldn't be brought up on game day. You had

1123
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 3: to be put on the roster. And so I was

1124
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,919
Speaker 3: explaining to him all these changes, how many more guys

1125
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 3: they are now Now you can have like up to

1126
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 3: six guys with more than two years and all that,

1127
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 3: and he goes, oh my god, he goes, I would

1128
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 3: have been in the league for ten years if they

1129
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 3: would have had those rules right.

1130
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 2: We should have recreated the ESPN Sports Center commercial where

1131
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 2: Evander Holifield comes in looking for Charlie Steiner number that

1132
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, Charlie, where are you? You're gonna get your

1133
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 2: whooping right? And then Charlie's hiding under a desk. We

1134
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 2: should have done that. Baron was looking for Darren, right,

1135
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 2: and Darren's under his desk in the cubicle, and Baron

1136
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 2: Gorbyn's walking around with some boxing gloves.

1137
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 3: I would not mess with him.

1138
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, just the visual itself is a

1139
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 2: good mic drop here on Cardinals Nderground brought you my
