00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: Swam to the ground by Budda Baker like a torpedo.

Speaker 2: He came flying into the backfield Connor to the ten,

00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 3: Here we go, one handed catching a touchdown. Oh baby,

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: I'm that fail.

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: Here's Craiggrioloud, Paul Calvic and nine year NFL veteran Rob Frederickson.

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 4: Well, what a difference a week makes, and not in

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 4: a good way, as we say good morning on this Tuesday,

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 4: two days after the Cardinals lost at State Farm Stadium

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 4: by the score of twenty to thirdeam to the Detroit Lions.

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 4: A lot of like on aw that game started offensively,

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 4: A ton of the like on how that game went

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 4: at the end in the second half for the defense.

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: But bottom line, Rob, this Cardinals team is one and

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 4: two with another home game to come, and we will

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: get into what the Washington Commanders have done and did

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 4: last night to the Cincinnati Bengals. But big picture, it

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 4: for me as far as what looked good and then

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 4: what disappeared offensively in quarters three and four.

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think leading up to this game, it was

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 5: billed as just this physical game between two teams that

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 5: really that that's their identity, right, you know, we're going

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 5: to run the ball and we're going to play tough defense.

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 5: And it lived up to it, especially early. You know,

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 5: there was unfortunately, there was a lot of injuries and

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 5: a lot of physical play out there. Detroit Lions, really,

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 5: you know, you got to tip your hat to them.

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: They did an excellent job up front on both sides

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 5: of the ball. Initially starting the game, they were able

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 5: to run the ball at will, really carving up the

38
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 5: Cardinals defense. And then defensively, you know, Detroit Lions, it's

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 5: been twenty two games since they've allowed a running back

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: to rush for over seventy yards. So they did a

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: great job again of just bottling up the run game

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 5: of the Arizona Cardinals and forcing the Cardinals to be

43
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 5: one dimensional.

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 6: Most physical game i've seen in that building, second most

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 6: since the twenty sixteen.

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: Seattle slug Fest.

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 6: It lived up to the billion we talked about that

48
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 6: pregame and sure enough, yeah, and you saw guys leaving

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 6: the field both sides. So that was testimony to that.

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 6: Talking to some of the players on Monday, they were

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 6: very sore. I'm a little fearful of the physical hangover.

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 6: As for this, you know what will happen come this Sunday.

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 6: We'll see, we'll see. I'm guessing the coaches are going

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 6: to adjust accordingly. But it was a slug fest. The

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 6: moment the Lions came out with six offensive linemen and

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 6: two tight ends, they were sending a message, Okay, we're physical.

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 6: You think you're a goal let's find out.

58
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: And you did.

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 7: For four quarters.

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: Early in that game, the Lions players were dropping like flies.

61
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: And then at the end of the game it was

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: Cardinals players. But to the physicality and rob again, it's

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: it's different from when you played to win now. But

64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: you play a game like that on a Sunday and

65
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 4: then you come into the facility on Monday morning, you

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: have Tuesday off. Wednesday, you're back on the practice field.

67
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: How much, how tough how long does the body need

68
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: to recover. Yes, it's still early in the season. But

69
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: to Paul's point, he was on the sideline watching that,

70
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: hearing it and then seeing the reaction from the players

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: and how slowly they got dressed in the locker room

72
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: postgame to make their way back home.

73
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's interesting. After a physical game like that,

74
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: typically you don't start feeling normal again until Saturday.

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 7: Oh wow, geez.

76
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, legitimately, and I think they've come a long

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 5: way in terms of just recovery and what the technology

78
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 5: and what player can do to get themselves feeling more

79
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 5: normal earlier in the week. But you know, when I

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 5: was playing, you were not feeling normal until the day

81
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 5: before the next game.

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 6: And think about it, at the very end of the game,

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 6: you know, your minus Justin Jones, your minus Kyrie's Tonga.

84
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 6: So you had those four defensive linemen who were they

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 6: were closing out that game and the Lions weren't kidding around.

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 6: The Lions have four first round picks on that offensive line.

87
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 6: They controlled the game at times, the first half of

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 6: the first half in particular, and then you know, by

89
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 6: the time you were done, okay, you know the Cardinals

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 6: defense redeemed itself, but the Cardinals run game did not.

91
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 6: You had to abandon the run. The final eighteen plays

92
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 6: were all pass plays. You had to go into two

93
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 6: minute mode. You were trailing in the game. But anytime

94
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 6: Kyler Murrays you're leading rusher. That's problematic, especially for this offense.

95
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: Game was Todd after the first possession for each team

96
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: Todd going into the second quarter. It was twenty to

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: ten in favor of the Lions. At halftime, and that

98
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: was it. The Lion did not score again. The Cardinals

99
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 4: would add a field goal late, but to your point, Paul,

100
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 4: the offense just could not get into gear despite the

101
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 4: number of different opportunities the defense gave Kyler Murray and company.

102
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: On Monday, the day after, head coach Jonathan Gannon on

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: where he thought his team was after that loss of

104
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: the Alliance.

105
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 8: We're a pissed off team, I know that, but so

106
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 8: is everyone that loss, you know what I mean. So

107
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 8: now it comes down to what do you do about it?

108
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 8: And to make sure that we keep learning and improving.

109
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 8: So that's what I would say we're at right now.

110
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 4: And how long does a loss like that linger? We

111
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: heard from Dennis Gardek on how he processes a loss

112
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: to get ready for the next week.

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 9: For me, it's letting the things that I need to

114
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 9: get better at burn for a little bit. I think

115
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 9: if you put it to bed too soon, the motivation

116
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 9: to get it corrected in a timely and urgent matter

117
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 9: isn't there as much. So I want to let it burn.

118
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 9: I want to feel like I let the guys down

119
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 9: on the plays that I need to get corrected.

120
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: Look, the Cardinals had chances, just like they had chances

121
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 4: Week one on the road in Buffalo, and I think

122
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: that's why the frustration to use Jonathan Ginn. Yeah, it's

123
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: a pissed off team because you let a game potentially

124
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 4: slip out of your fingers, a game that you helped

125
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 4: rob in November and December. You're not looking back saying

126
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: what could have been in twenty twenty four.

127
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were some opportunities, certainly opportunities for the Cardinals

128
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: to change the dynamic of the game. You look back

129
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 5: to the two minute warning in the first half and

130
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 5: mac Wilson conceivably went for a go ahead touchdown to

131
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 5: go up fourteen thirteen, and it's called back, and then

132
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 5: Detroit was able to march down and get a touchdown.

133
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 5: So all of a sudden, that's a huge swing, not

134
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: only in momentum, but also in your psyche a little bit.

135
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 5: And so you got to kind of brush that off

136
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 5: at halftime, come back out in the second half, and

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: I think the defense did you know, you look at

138
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 5: their second half performance. Detroit didn't get another point in

139
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 5: the second half. Now, they were able to string together

140
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 5: some drives and chew up some clock, and that then

141
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 5: limits the opportunities that the Cardinals offense have. But you know,

142
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 5: the defense did an excellent job in that second half

143
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 5: of bending, but they didn't break, and they got stops

144
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 5: when they needed to and afforded the offense some opportunities.

145
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 6: September is the new August. I think we got more

146
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 6: evidence of that in this game.

147
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 7: I really do.

148
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 6: It was a physical game. Lions earned the win. They

149
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 6: were better in the trenches, but the passing game is

150
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 6: not quite yet in sync. And I'm guessing that a

151
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 6: month from now it's going to be a lot more

152
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: productive regardless of the defense you're going against, especially since

153
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 6: the Lions are playing man quite a bit.

154
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 7: Now.

155
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 6: Cardinals got more zone than they thought, but Lions coming

156
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 6: in typically a play eighty five percent man, so Cardinals

157
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 6: receivers were looking forward to it. And you saw Kyler

158
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 6: rip off some runs in the first half, mainly because

159
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 6: guess what, Lions DB's had their backs turned and then

160
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 6: they went into more of a zone. But you're Jonathan

161
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 6: Gannon also mentioned cryptically without naming names, that final third

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 6: and eleven at the two minute warning in the second

163
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 6: half that sealed the game. Cardinals did not get the

164
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 6: ball back. That was a basic coverage that was not

165
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 6: executed correctly by the Cardinals defensive backfield. A couple of

166
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 6: yards here, a couple of yards there, a couple of

167
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 6: minor adjustments here and there, and I just think this

168
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 6: team's balling but it's not precise yet in a lot

169
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 6: of ways. And you go against a team that was

170
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 6: just in the NFC Championship. That's enough to lose.

171
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: Cardinals ran fifteen fewer plays, were out gained by nearly

172
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,479
Speaker 4: one hundred yards, and trailed in the time of possession

173
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 4: thirty seven to twenty three. Yet they had time and

174
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: time again opportunities in the second half offense, though, just

175
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 4: could not find the ball into the end zone. Kyler

176
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: Murray postgame after the loss to the Lions.

177
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 10: I know what this team is capable of, and that's

178
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 10: the exciting part. I mean, that's that's all it comes

179
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 10: down to. I know we're capable of. I love what

180
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 10: we have in that locker room. Again, we just didn't

181
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 10: make enough plays today and I know, I know those

182
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 10: plays are out there to be made and we will

183
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 10: make them.

184
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 4: Hearing JG Kyler postgame, Hearing JG again on Monday, and

185
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 4: you heard and JG you heard it mentioned enthused on

186
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: what he saw. Kyler Murray a little bit more upbeat

187
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 4: than we've heard from him in years past, coming off

188
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: a loss and a tough loss like that. Is that

189
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 4: year two under Jonathan Gannon? Is that a more mature

190
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray to set the tone for everyone else because

191
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: everyone is looking at those two gentlemen to kind of

192
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: set the stage for the rest of the week, the

193
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 4: rest of the season, because it was you get like, really,

194
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: I mean there's some frustration there, but you didn't hear

195
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: it from the powers it be.

196
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, after a tough loss like that, I think it's

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: the leadership and the coaching staff's job to, you know,

198
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 5: you tear down the guys a little bit in the

199
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 5: film review. But then you've got to build them up.

200
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 5: You got you got to show them what was really

201
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 5: good and show them what what happened out there Sunday

202
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 5: that that is something that we can build on. You know,

203
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 5: when you win a game, it's it's never as good

204
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: as you think when you will look at the film.

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 5: And then when you lose a game, it's never as

206
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 5: bad as you think. It really isn't. Every game, it

207
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 5: seems like in this league, comes down to three or

208
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 5: four plays, just a handful of plays that that really

209
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 5: changed the entire dynamic of the game. And so, you know,

210
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,239
Speaker 5: the car obviously you make the corrections, but the Cardinals

211
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 5: need to, you know, realize that, you know what, there's

212
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 5: a there's a lot we can build on from this

213
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 5: and and scrap it, forget about it and move on

214
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 5: to Washington.

215
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 6: I think a lot of it does have to do

216
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 6: with the opponent. Yeah, I mean if you had just

217
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 6: lost to Carolina, would you hear that sort of positivity

218
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 6: like like the Raiders, oh boy, right, And especially now

219
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 6: after Buffalo absolutely just thrash Jacksonville all of a sudden

220
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 6: that game, you're a little more bullish about that. So

221
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 6: you know, you played three really tough opponents to start well.

222
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 6: The Rams are ultra banged up, but you dominated them.

223
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 6: And now you have a high flying Washington team in

224
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 6: so you still have that opportunity to go to and

225
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 6: two to start the first month of the season, stay

226
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 6: right in the thick of the playoff race. Obviously this

227
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 6: week is critical, but that Lion's team has a two

228
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 6: year head start on the rebuild. They have two more

229
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 6: draft classes under their belt. And I also think because

230
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 6: the Cardinals are so young, so many players from last

231
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 6: two draft classes, that's another reason why Kyler and the

232
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 6: head coach wanted to keep it positive.

233
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 4: As we speak here on this Tuesday, nothing definitive, No

234
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: further updates on a handful of players who did get

235
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 4: hurt on Sunday, Justin Jones with a triceps, Kyrie's Tonga

236
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 4: a knee, Jackson Barton, who played real well at right tackle,

237
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: did not finish the game because of a toe injury.

238
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: And I think the one that's really concerning because of

239
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: the violence and the collision, was Trey McBride being evaluated

240
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 4: for concussion. But that was a scary part, a scary

241
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: moment on the football field.

242
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 6: This has nothing to do with anything other than just

243
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 6: anecdotal information. He sprinted from the sideline into the locker

244
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 6: room when he came out of the blue medical tent.

245
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 6: So I think as sort of a just play, you know,

246
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 6: sort of the thumbs up, like I'm good and I'm

247
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 6: going to show it. He ran into that locker room.

248
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 7: Go to the right locker room. Yes he did. Okay,

249
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 7: that's a good sign.

250
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 4: He appeared to be fully cognitive.

251
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 7: He did.

252
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, that's uppeared. That's good news. And I think

253
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: now you hope that there is good news for Tustin Jones.

254
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: Remember a year ago at this time, it was the

255
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: defensive line and the biceps injuries to LJ. Collier, Carlos Watkins.

256
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: Later in the season it was Kaiser White. So now

257
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: it's triceps. But you hear muscle injury with the defensive

258
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 4: lineman and all of a sudden, okay, this is this

259
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 4: is problematic.

260
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 6: Potentially, look at Javon Hargrave. He's done partially torn triceps.

261
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 6: So yes, Craig, you are hoping for the best. But

262
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 6: there is a pattern historically where it's not good news

263
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 6: with that injury.

264
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, typically with the tricep injury. That's it's it's

265
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 5: not good bicep injury. You know, if you tear one

266
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 5: of the biceps, you can you can still work, you

267
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: can still play, But the tricep injury is tough. So

268
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 5: we'll see where that goes. But I gotta say real quick,

269
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: Dante Stills has really done a good job. And I

270
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 5: know we'll probably get into it, but he's really done

271
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 5: a good job when he's had opportunities, and he showed

272
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 5: up on Sunday.

273
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 6: The thing is on the sideline. I'm looking at Darius

274
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 6: Robinson in sweats, just going home man.

275
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 7: When you're gonna get d rog man.

276
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 6: I mean that he would have been really helpful in

277
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 6: that game. That was a game for Darius Robinson and

278
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 6: you want big picture, thanks for asking, Craig. At the

279
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 6: end of that game, I'm thinking, you know what, Lion's

280
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 6: the number two seed, Cardinals number seven seed. You might

281
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 6: see this team again playoff opener in the d the

282
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 6: three to one three in mid January poll predictor here.

283
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 6: That's see just sort of had that vibe at the

284
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 6: end of the game, Cardinals team that would love a

285
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 6: rematch with Allions.

286
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: Cardinals looking to get back contract this Sunday against the

287

00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 4: happen in the second half Offensively. This is the Arizona

292
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 4: Cardinals radio.

293
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: Network snapped to Murray Bakes the handoff boot to the left,

294
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: backing up the lobbs at left corner of the end zone,

295
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: put by Harrison shuz Um touchdown Cardinals. Harvin Harrison Junior

296
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: with his third touchdown already?

297
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: Are you not entertained? Are you kidding me? Do you

298
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: light up? Harvin Harrison Junior. He's one on one against

299
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: a corner. You bring a safety over the top. He

300
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: runs all the way across the field and Kyler Murray

301
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: fathers the ball in there.

302
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 7: Awesome.

303
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: Just a great response by the Cardinals offensively. After the

304
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: Lions on the first possession of the game, march downfield

305
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: running the football to take a seven tozzing lead. Cardinals

306
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: needed just over five minutes to tie the at seven.

307
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior for the third time

308
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 4: this season. By the way, Kyler on that drive four

309
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 4: four thirty eight yards passing, two carries, thirty four yards rushing,

310
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: and that was a sign of things to come, because

311
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: outside of Kyler Murray running, didn't see a whole luck,

312
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 4: hell whole heck of a lot of anyone else running

313
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 4: with the football. But first things first, the Marvin Harrison

314
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: Junior highlight. That was one of the few highlights in

315
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 4: the passing game rob as far as MHJ is concerned,

316
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: targeted eleven times, five catches, sixty four yards and the

317
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 4: touchdown big interception. Kyler admitted postgame that he probably shouldn't

318
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: have made that decision trying to force it in there.

319
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: At the same time, what were we talking about after

320
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: week one? You got to force the ball at eighteen.

321
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 4: Kyler did, and it backfielded.

322
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,119
Speaker 5: I mean, Kyler did what we've been we've been advocating

323
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 5: for is to just throw it up and let Marvin

324
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 5: Harrison Junior make a play. And and you know, you'd

325
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 5: love to have that back. Kyler wishes he had that

326
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 5: pass back, but you know, it's encouraging to see that

327
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 5: he is making an effort to get the ball to

328
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison Junior, and and somebody that's been really quiet

329
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 5: first couple of weeks but really kind of showed up

330
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: as Michael Wilson, you know, with eight eight perceptions on

331
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: nine targets.

332
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 7: For sixty four yards.

333
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 5: So that's encouraging, you know, if you can if you're

334
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: looking for something to be encouraged about in this passing game,

335
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 5: you know, I think involving Michael Wilson because he brings

336
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 5: so much to this offense and what he can do,

337
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 5: I think that's a that's a you know, something that

338
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 5: you can look forward to now. One for nine on

339
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 5: third downs though you know that that's tough, and I

340
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 5: think Greg Dortch has been a big target on third

341
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 5: downs and that that really wasn't the case yesterday.

342
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 6: You know, the Michael Wilson production makes sense in hindsight,

343
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 6: just because he's so good at the contested.

344
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 4: Catch, right.

345
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 6: He was good out of the gate last year. Remember

346
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 6: his breakout game Week four against the forty nine ers.

347
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 6: Every catch, every chunk throw was a contested one. He's

348
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 6: got a dude, get off me, and he's ripping the

349
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 6: ball away and he's he's very physical and very strong

350
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 6: in that way. I think that's one area Marvin Harrison

351
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 6: Junior can get a little better, a little bit on

352
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 6: the interception, maybe a little late. Yeah, in terms of

353
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 6: getting that. Obviously it was short the throw itself, and

354
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 6: the phrasing Kyler used postgame was maybe not the right

355
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 6: time to throw that. It's second and four, you're at

356
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 6: the Lions thirty seven, you're driving, you know, is there

357
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 6: an underneath route? It's second and manageable just to get

358
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 6: the first down, extend the drive instead of going for

359
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 6: it all in that moment. So maybe that was a

360
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 6: learning moment even for Kyler within the framework.

361
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: BUTOD on the.

362
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 6: Other hand, how many times had he heard in the

363
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 6: last two three weeks, right, oh, just throw it up

364
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 6: for eighteen even when he's covered. He's not covered, So okay,

365
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 6: But the Lions they have very aggressive defensive secondary and

366
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 6: obviously there was safety help over the top Kirby Joseph

367
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 6: with the pick.

368
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 4: And to your point, Rob about the third downs. Cardinals

369
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: converted their first one and then missed on each of

370
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 4: their next eight, and half of those were nine or

371
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 4: more yards. So it goes back to what are you

372
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: doing on first and second down to make that third

373
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: down a little bit more manageable, so you have the

374
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 4: entire playbook at your disposal.

375
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, they just there was no running game at that point.

376
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 5: There was no running game for the Arizona Cardinals. So

377
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 5: everything was relying on the on the pass pass play.

378
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 5: And so Kyler was under some pressure, you know he did.

379
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 5: He was under some duress during that game. And and

380
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 5: certainly that's you know, with a backup to the backup

381
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 5: at right tackle, there's there's gonna be that. But you know,

382
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 5: you got to find a way to be more efficient

383
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 5: on first and second down.

384
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 4: Well, let's hear from Kyler Murray on the lack of

385
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 4: production from the offense on Sunday.

386
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 10: We just didn't make place. You know, last week we executed.

387
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 10: This week, we didn't execute when when it was when

388
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 10: it was needed. Came on first drive, executed and then

389
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 10: you know, obviously turn the ball over trying to give

390
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 10: more of a chance to go up and get a

391
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 10: jump ball. Probably not the right time to be doing it,

392
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 10: but you know it is what is. I trust my guys,

393
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 10: you know we got we just gotta be better next week.

394
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 10: Like again, that's a that's a great team over there.

395
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 10: Credit to them.

396
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: And the Lions made the Cardinals one dimensional. As you

397
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 4: mentioned earlier, Paul, the last eighteen plays were pass plays

398
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 4: or not a single rushing attempt in the fourth quarter

399
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 4: seventy seven rushing yards. That is a season low. In

400
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: the fact that James Connor was held too is worth

401
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 4: worst production in a Cardinal's uniform, only nine carries for him,

402
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 4: and it was you got to keep trying, and at

403
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: some point, I think Drew Peessing just said, all right,

404
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 4: this is just not working and we'll just keep it

405
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 4: in the air.

406
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 6: And obviously the Lions were loading the box. They went

407
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 6: with five d linemen quite a bit. They were all out,

408
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 6: selling all out to stop James Connor.

409
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 4: I get it.

410
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 6: Try and make the Cardinals one dimensional, make Kyler beat him.

411
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 6: Here's I think the game within the game. One thing

412
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 6: that hampered the passing game is Kyler didn't have as

413
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 6: many targets out in patterns because you had to keep

414
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 6: extra pass protection in too often you had to go

415
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 6: max protect because he had a backupright tackle, a third

416
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 6: stringer who fared pretty dang well most of the game.

417
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 6: When he did get beat, at least he didn't get

418
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: beat instantly. He gave Tyler a couple of seconds. But

419
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 6: more importantly, I think you had to keep so many

420
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 6: tight ends in to chip Aiden Hutchinson. It just gave

421
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 6: Kyler fewer options out in space to get the ball out.

422
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 6: And I think that was sort of the story behind

423
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 6: the one for nine on third down. Is Kyler really

424
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 6: only had a couple of targets out in pass routes.

425
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about that lack of a run game.

426
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: Let's hear from the head coach, Jonathan Gannon on just

427
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: seventy seven rushing yards.

428
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 8: We knew coming in that's a good defense, and they

429
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 8: stopped the run well, you know, but it's just we

430
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 8: never got that one explosive.

431
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 3: You know.

432
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 8: I know Kyler had the one, but I don't think

433
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 8: we had any explosives in the run game, and you know,

434
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 8: you're waiting for one of them to pop. We knew

435
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 8: it was going to be dirty two three yards, you know,

436
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 8: but you're kind of waiting for that one to pop.

437
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 8: And give hats off to them.

438
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 7: They did a good job.

439
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 4: Look, this is a run first offense and it's predicated

440
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 4: on your running backs, not your quarterback, to get those

441
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 4: rushing yards. And Kyler Murray is your leading rusher. That

442
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: is not a recipe for success. Maybe a couple of times,

443
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: but not season long and forty five yards including a

444
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 4: twenty one yard or you need whether that's Connor Benson,

445
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: de Mercado got to find a way to be able

446
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 4: to run the football to establish that pass because that

447
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 4: didn't happen, especially in the second half.

448
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, And a byproduct of not being able to run

449
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: the football is it takes away the play action pass

450
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 5: and that to me in this offense is so vital,

451
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 5: especially Kyler under center and just his ability to boot

452
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 5: leg out and get into some open field. And what

453
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 5: happens when you get into a play action pass scenario

454
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 5: like that, a bootleg or something a play like that

455
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 5: is all the defensive coverages, you know, we talk about

456
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 5: defensive backfields now in the NFL, playing that shell coverage,

457
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 5: playing that you know, keep it in front of you,

458
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 5: keep keep the check downs and come up and tackle. Well,

459
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 5: that all goes away when you run a play action pass.

460
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 5: It converts in demand demand coverage based on the route concept.

461
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 5: And so if you don't have the ability to run

462
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 5: a football all you now you can't run play action pass.

463
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 5: And you don't you lose that ability to get guys

464
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 5: in man de man situations.

465
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 6: Conversely, Jared Goff had that at his disposal. I can't

466
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 6: tell you how many defensive guys going into the game

467
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 6: told me we got to stop the run. A to

468
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 6: stop the run B because you got to take away

469
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 6: the Jared Goff boot game, the play action game, that's.

470
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: Where he's at his best. Sure Enough, he.

471
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 6: Had David Montgomery near five yards of carry, Jamier Gibbs

472
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 6: over five yards of carry, and Jared Goff was very

473
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 6: efficient eighteen of twenty three and two touchdowns passing. And

474
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 6: when the run game was firing for the Lions, so

475
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 6: was Jared Goff. He then had time to throw and

476
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 6: you saw the result. And to Rob's point that I

477
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 6: thought was the difference in the two offenses.

478
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 4: Completed his first fourteen passes attempts. As far as Jared Goff. Now,

479
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 4: we talked about the injuries to the offensive line. Nol

480
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 4: Kelvin beacham inactive because of a hamstring injury. So all

481
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: of a sudden practice squad elevation, both Jackson Barton and

482
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: Charlie Heck elevated on Saturday, Barton getting his first career

483
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 4: start actually played very very well as far as just

484
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 4: two pressures on twenty seven pass blocks according to Next

485
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 4: Gen Stats. Next man Up is the mentality across the league,

486
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 4: especially along the offensive line. Here's Will Hernandez.

487
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 11: You know, as part of the game there, if you

488
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 11: go into season thinking you're going to be one hundred percent,

489
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 11: you know, it's very one foolish and two not realistic.

490
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 11: So we got to just find a way to navigate

491
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 11: through these things. We've got to make sure the guys

492
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 11: are ready in case when these things happen, and we

493
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 11: got to make sure that we play as best as

494
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 11: we can even when we have these things.

495
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 4: Now, it's one thing to deal with injuries at a

496
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 4: position or a position group throughout the season. It's another

497
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 4: rob where we are looking potentially at your fourth different

498
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 4: starting right tackle in Week four, and that's just hard

499
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 4: to maintain the chemistry and the continuity that you would

500
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 4: like with those five guys up front.

501
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 5: Well, it is, and you're right, you know, these players

502
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 5: that are on the practice squad and players that are

503
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 5: brought in, you know, they need to create some cohesion,

504
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 5: some chemistry with the other offensive lines and knowing the

505
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 5: playbook as well and knowing the blocking concepts, So there

506
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 5: is a learning curve there, but you know there's an

507
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 5: expectation as well when when you're out on the on

508
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 5: the field and when you're out in the game, you're

509
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 5: expected to do your job and we're going to give

510
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 5: you some help, right We're gonna we're gonna keep some

511
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 5: tight ends in there, maybe some running backs chipping and

512
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 5: helping you out as needed. But for the most part,

513
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: you know, when you're out there and you're your number

514
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 5: is called, you're expected to go out and perform.

515
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 6: It was a rare recent game where the Cardinals offense

516
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 6: didn't wear down the opposing defense. Three of the four

517
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 6: final games last year, they ran for over two hundred

518
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 6: yards over two hundred yards rushing against the Rams in

519
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 6: that victory. One of the few times in recent memory

520
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 6: the Cardinals offensive line the Cardinals offense didn't wear down

521
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 6: a defense. Kudos to the Lions, very physical game. They're

522
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 6: very deep, especially in that front seven. They suffered some casualties.

523
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 6: It's a couple of season ending injuries to the Lions

524
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 6: and that one was a very physical game. But to

525
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 6: hold James Connor to seventeen yards rushing on nine carries

526
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 6: and As Jonathan Gannon said after the game, we just

527
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 6: never got that one run to pop close a few times,

528
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 6: but some sure tackling by the Lions, you just couldn't

529
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 6: get that chunk run.

530
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 5: Is it just me or do I notice a lot

531
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: of James Connor runs are bouncing to the outside and

532
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 5: maybe they're trying to run outside, maybe they're trying to

533
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 5: get a get the edge, but it just doesn't seem

534
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 5: to me like vintage James. James Connor to me, is downhill.

535
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 5: When he's most effective, he's hitting it downhill. And I

536
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 5: think a lot of it, to some extent might be

537
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 5: the offset running back out of the shotgun and he's

538
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 5: kind of gotta gotta go at that angle. But I'd

539
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 5: love to see them kinda and I know a lot

540
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 5: of it depends on game plan as well, but I'd

541
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 5: love to see them just get James Connor going downhill,

542
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 5: cram it vertical as we talked about.

543
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 6: And if he is running off the edges of the

544
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 6: offensive line, then it's in't coming upon the tight ends

545
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 6: to do their job blocking right, And I think that

546
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: was part of the issue in Buffalo.

547
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 7: And the wide receivers. Yeah, yep, a.

548
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: Lot more horizontal runs from James Connor. Least that's what

549
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 4: it appears to be again three games in. We'll see

550
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 4: what it looks like on Sunday, and you can run

551
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 4: against this Washington Commander's team. At least so far this season,

552
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: Bengals were able to just not enough to get the

553
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,680

564
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 2: pass setting up quick throw, picked off across the middle

565
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: by Gardak at the forty and he's tackled at the thirty.

566
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 7: Three.

567
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: Oh brother Dennis Gardak comes up with a pick. It

568
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: sets the Cardinals up midway through the third quarter. Gonna

569
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: have the ball in plus territory.

570
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: What might youhge play by Dennis Gardak dropping back into

571
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 3: his own room and making the pick. Oh, that is

572
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 3: big time by the Barbarian. What is good Dennis Gardak?

573
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 4: By the way, Dennis Kardak having a heck of a

574
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 4: start to the twenty twenty four regular season his second

575
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 4: career interception on Sunday, and fortunately though the Cardinals is

576
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 4: not able to capitalize on that turnover, as they turned

577
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: it over on downs their midway through the third quarters.

578
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 4: We say welcome back. It is the Cardinals, Red seaer Port,

579
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 4: Craig Reiolu, Paul Calvici and Rod Frederickson turning our attention

580
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: rob to the side of the ball that you dominated

581
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 4: for so many years, and that is the defense and

582
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 4: the fact that the defense in the second half, What

583
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 4: are you smiling about? What he's murring about?

584
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 7: He crushed it.

585
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 4: Man, Gotta give you your promise because you won't, so

586
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 4: I'll dude for you. Cardinals. Though in that second half

587
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: they pitched a shutout, no points over seven possessions, only

588
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: eight first downs, one third down convert, and of course

589
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 4: it was the last third down converted that kept the

590
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: Lions on the football field. But I digress, but just

591
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 4: what that defense in the third and fourth quarters were

592
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: able to do to give the offense opportunity upon opportunity

593
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 4: upon opportunity.

594
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that was really the game within

595
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 5: the game. The halftime adjustments by rollis to come out

596
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 5: in that second half defensively and really shut down Detroit.

597
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 5: They scored twenty points in the first half, didn't score

598
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 5: another point in the second half. And you think in

599
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 5: this league, if you hold a team to twenty points,

600
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 5: you should win that game. And the Cardinals did have opportunities.

601
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 5: The defense in the second half afforded the Arizona Cardinals

602
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 5: offense offense to really have those opportunities. And you highlighted

603
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 5: the guard deck interception. You know, he continues to make plays.

604
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 5: He always does. The linebacking crew, I mean, Kaizer White,

605
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 5: Mack Wilson, those guys flash, those guys are everywhere. Buddha Baker,

606
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 5: I mean, he's playing with his hair on fire this year,

607
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 5: lights out. So you know there's some there's some good

608
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 5: positive takeaways defensively when you look back at this film

609
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 5: and look back at this game. So moving moving on

610
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 5: to Washington, another high powered offense that's coming in here,

611
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 5: they're going to have their hands full, but you gotta

612
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 5: you gotta feel good about where the defense is right now.

613
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, no one will say it, but I still think

614
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 6: it's my theory. I contend that Buddha Baker has been

615
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 6: unlocked this year. They're using them more in a Troy

616
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 6: Polamalo role than ever before. We'll see, we'll get to

617
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 6: the bottom of this for you. Craig over here, Okay,

618
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 6: the IT team, we got an investigation out there, but

619
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 6: I think he's using his instincts more than ever. Speaking

620
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 6: of Dennis Gardak, who just turned thirty, he had a

621
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 6: great explanation on Friday going into the game that over

622
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 6: the course of his career he's not at the point

623
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 6: where he has a tool belt instead of a tool box.

624
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 6: In his explanation, right, he tries to go football one

625
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 6: oh one for us media simpletons over there, Rob And

626
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 6: here was his explanation that earlier in his career he

627
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 6: had certain skill sets, different tools, but he'd have to

628
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 6: use him one at a time, so they were in

629
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 6: a tool box maybe on the sideline. He'd come back

630
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 6: makes some adjustments. Now he has all his tools on

631
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 6: the belt, so if he's on a pass rush and

632
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 6: the on line shuts down one. He reaches for the

633
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 6: next tool and he uses a different so he's got

634
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 6: different things that he can now go to on the fly,

635
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 6: and it makes them more of a barbarian than ever.

636
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 5: Well, if he's batman with all with his tool belt,

637
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 5: you must be robbing, Paul.

638
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 4: Okay, that's it, that's it. You know what I'm done.

639
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 4: I'm done here. That was well played there, rob Yeah,

640
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 4: the two belt versus the tool box the Cardinals in

641
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: that second half, I'll tell you who's the tool around.

642
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 4: I was gonna open up that door and I was like,

643
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: you know, I'll just let it slide you. You walked

644
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 4: in very well, Paul. The second half. What the head

645
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 4: coach liked about his defense?

646
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 8: I thought they battled and gave us a chance, you

647
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 8: know what I mean, And that game could have got

648
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 8: out of hand if they're not psychologically prepped the right way,

649
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 8: and I think they had showed me that they were

650
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 8: that first time we've been down at half, right, and okay,

651
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 8: what are you gonna do about it?

652
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 7: You know?

653
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 8: I thought that we made some adjustments, which they executed

654
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 8: the adjustments, and then we had guys make a bunch

655
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 8: of plays, you know what I mean. So that was

656
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 8: really good to see. That was one of the things

657
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 8: I was enthusia about last night watching it was we

658
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 8: responded the right way. That's typically the sign of a

659
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 8: good unit.

660
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: And that's a good Lions team as far as the

661
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 4: ability to move the football and get into the end zone.

662
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: And it's a bit of a little bit of a

663
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 4: slow start for the Lions as far as scoring points.

664
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: But they've got they've got playmakers, quarterback, running back, wide receiver,

665
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 4: tied end. Although Sam Laporter carted off that carted off

666
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 4: the field in the first half in that game. But

667
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 4: this is a I think we've gotten now answers in

668
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 4: each of the last two weeks, rob about the questions

669
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 4: we had about this defense. Could they stop teams, could

670
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 4: they get to the quarterback? Could they give the offense

671
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: opportunities to win games? In the last two weeks they.

672
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 7: Did, Yeah they did.

673
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 5: And you know, you look at look back to Buffalo game, right,

674
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 5: there's a really good offensive line and last week against Detroit,

675
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 5: really good offensive line, and the Cardinals struggled defensively up

676
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 5: front to stop that run. They really did, and and

677
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 5: so that's something moving forward that we're gonna have to

678
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 5: keep an eye on and and see where that goes.

679
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 5: But you know, the Rams were beat up offensive offensive line,

680
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 5: and the Cardinals showed up and did a good job.

681
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 5: But against these good offensive lines right now, the Arizona

682
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 5: Cardinals defensive line is is kind of kind of struggling

683
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 5: a little bit, you know, staying stuck on blocks and

684
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 5: you're getting pushed a little bit back. You know, it's

685
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 5: it's it's certainly an area of concern. But outside of that, again,

686
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 5: you know, they they bent, but they didn't break, especially

687
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 5: in that second half.

688
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 6: And you heard Jonathan Gannon what he said at halftime.

689
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 6: He basically challenged the team, first time you've been trailing

690
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 6: at the half, All right, what are you going to

691
00:32:58,760 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 6: do about it?

692
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: Defense?

693
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 6: Us responded in that second half, right, I mean in

694
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 6: that second half the Lions went punt interception, you turn

695
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 6: over the ball and downs punt, punt, punt, end of

696
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 6: the game. So they came out. Dante Stills, for example,

697
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 6: he was sort of the embodiment of that. He was

698
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 6: deactivated the week before, came out. He bawled out in

699
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 6: that game at a sack at a big stop on

700
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 6: a third down. So okay, you know, I think this

701
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 6: coach staff does a real good job of not only

702
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 6: motivating these players, but then giving them the tools, giving

703
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 6: them the analysis off their film and how to get

704
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 6: better and how to get more playing time.

705
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 4: So what did we learn about the defense not only

706
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 4: on Sunday, but so far through three weeks. Here's Dennis Gardek.

707
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 9: We've shown that we're competitors regardless of anything else. We're

708
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 9: gonna fight with you to the very end. We've kind

709
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 9: of put our calling card as our our motive play.

710
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 9: JG always talks about we're fast, physical, we're smart football players.

711
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 9: So I think that's what we're going to hang our

712
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 9: hat on and that's what's going to carry us for

713
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 9: the season.

714
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: And now you just hope that there's some good news

715
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 4: with Justin Jones Kyrie's Tonga. Going back to your point,

716
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 4: Rob about the defensive line and how maybe they get

717
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 4: pushed back against solid offensive line fronts. Buffalo, Detroit, Washington

718
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 4: has shown that they are capable of running the football

719
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: at least through three weeks. But that is where that's

720
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 4: where this defense. I think that's the next step as

721
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 4: far as being a little bit more consistent stopping the run.

722
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 4: Did it against the Rams, but to your point, they

723
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 4: were banged up. Can you do it against a healthy

724
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 4: offensive front?

725
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 7: Yeah?

726
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 5: And as Gardex said, you know, you know you're always

727
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 5: going to get effort from this team, from this defense

728
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 5: in particular, and you can go back to last year,

729
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 5: there was always effort given by this defense. The question,

730
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 5: you know, really where they're at now though relative to

731
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: last year is I think there's there's it's a better roster,

732
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 5: there's more talent on the defensive side. Again though the

733
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 5: defensive line, that's the area where the improvement has to

734
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 5: come if they're going to be on the other side

735
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 5: of these heavyweight bouts.

736
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 6: And there were two big third downs third and twelve

737
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 6: after the two minute tobaccle where the official screwed that up,

738
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 6: where Jamar Gibbs had a fourteen yard run on third

739
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 6: and twelve at the end of the half which led

740
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 6: to that final hooking ladder touchdown. And then there was

741
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 6: the third and eleven Cardinals trying to get the ball

742
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 6: back at the two minute warning in the second half

743
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 6: and the big completion I'm on Ross Saint Brown where

744
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 6: Jared Goff had plenty of time and maybe there was

745
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 6: a coverage breakdown right there. So those were two big plays.

746
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 6: I think we're learning moments for the Cardinals defense as

747
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 6: well as the defense played.

748
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 4: There's but and it's the end of the first half

749
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 4: and how the game ended. Defense not able to get

750
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 4: off the football field, and that is something that will

751
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: be worked on this week. Offensive coordinator Drew Petsing. He

752
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,239

00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 4: Gonna put off the upset.

765
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 3: They played an exceptional football game.

766
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 12: Fredrickson got a fingertip on that ball, John and that's

767
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 12: what knocked it away from Connell.

768
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: That's all she wrote.

769
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 4: So now we know why State Farm Stadium exists. It's

770
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 4: because of you, Rob Fredrickson. That's right, Okay, I just

771
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 4: want to make sure I take full credit.

772
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 7: I got that stadium bill. I take full credit for that.

773
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 6: Do you have like a lifetime black Amex card that

774
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 6: gets you access to any and all events wherever you

775
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 6: want to go? I mean, you know, anybody should have

776
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 6: all access. It should be the guy responsible for the building.

777
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 7: I think they can find me to the press box.

778
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 7: They don't. They don't want me to strumming around.

779
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 4: That is in the wayback machine. November fifth, two thousand

780
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 4: Cardinals beating Washington sixteen to fifteen. And yes, as you

781
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 4: heard Tom Dylan say, two days later, voters approving Prop

782
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 4: three to zero two, which led to the way for

783
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 4: State Farm Stadium to be built. So again, congratulations. We

784
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 4: owe everything to Rob Frederickson.

785
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 6: So when there's climate control, okay, this Sunday, all right,

786
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 6: it's over one hundred degrees and we have ac you know, Rob,

787
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 6: thank you. I think it's the first time in the

788
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 6: history of show up actually said thank you and appreciate it.

789
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 6: And I even look past the slight the insult earlier

790
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 6: moments ago, and I still offer a debt of gratitude.

791
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 5: Oh you know what, It's okay, Paul, you know, I

792
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 5: do what I can do.

793
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 7: For the people.

794
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 4: That's right, the people. For the people. Yes, yeah, you know.

795
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 7: I want to give them a good environ to watch

796
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 7: the Cardinals. Sunday.

797
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 4: Rob is all about the people. Speaking of Sunday, Washington

798
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 4: back in town State Farm Stadium, the house that Rob built.

799
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 4: One oh five is the kickoff eight thirty Pregame coverage

Speaker 4: team two and one, coming off a big time win

802
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 4: on Monday Night football, a road win at Cincinnati thirty

803
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 4: eight to thirty three, head coach Dan Quinn making the

804
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 4: news or making the announcement after the game that they

805
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 4: are going to be headed to Arizona after that. So

806
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 4: they're already here, going to practice in temp at Arizona State.

807
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 4: So plenty of homecomings this week, including for quarterback Jadon Daniels,

808
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 4: who got his college start at ASU before heading to

809
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 4: LSU or he won the Heisman Trophy and Daniels last

810
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 4: night twenty one of twenty three for two hundred and

811
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 4: fifty four yards two touchdowns plus a rushing touchdown set

812
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 4: the single game rookie completion mark ninety one percent. Daniels

813
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 4: postgame last night.

814
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 13: I mean yeah, yes and no. Yes, because obviously it's

815
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 13: something new to me as I continue to join my

816
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 13: rookie year, but also just knowing the aspect, No, I

817
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 13: put in the work and was done in the dark,

818
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 13: Whilay's coming to light. So I just know I'm prepared

819
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 13: for these moments week in and week out. I'm just

820
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 13: gonna go out there and play football.

821
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: I sq Commanders are two and one with offensive coordinator

822
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 4: Cliff Kingsbury running that offense.

823
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know the Commanders coming out to Arizona

824
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 5: after their game to a couple of things. I think

825
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 5: working in the Arizona Cardinals favor on this. First of all,

826
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 5: you get the Commanders on a short week, right, they

827
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 5: get Monday night football, so they don't have enough the

828
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 5: extra day to prepare and to get healthy. And secondly,

829
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 5: anytime you take players out of their routine, out of

830
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 5: the facility where they're used to practicing, where they're used

831
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 5: to getting their their treatments done, where they're used to

832
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 5: just lifting weights and doing all those things, players don't

833
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 5: like that. They don't like being in their routine. And

834
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 5: I'd go so far as to to say that when

835
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 5: you look back at at all the teams that do

836
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 5: these type of things that go travel, Cardinals used to

837
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 5: do that, they used to go to some some resort

838
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 5: in Greenbrier, it doesn't ever seem to work out for

839
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 5: the team that does that. It really doesn't. And so

840
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know, maybe I'm maybe I'm speculating here,

841
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 5: but I just think this bodes well for the Arizona Cardinals.

842
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 6: Here's the other thing I'll throw out there, Dan Quinn,

843
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 6: are you aware of the National Weather Service forecast or Phoenix?

844
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 6: There is a bubble no Wednesday high one eleven, Thursday

845
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 6: one oh nine, Friday one eleven, Saturday one twelve. So yes,

846
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 6: I'm guessing you will be in the bubble. But ASU

847
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 6: was also practicing.

848
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 4: They're actually there's there in the bye week. Also, I

849
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 4: think I think it. I think it works well, okay

850
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: as far as scheduling and facility availabil.

851
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 6: So that means Jane Daniels won't have that awkward moment

852
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 6: when he sees all his former ASU peeps that he

853
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 6: transferred away from so okay, all right, that that works

854
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 6: very well. Then I guess for Washington schedule wise.

855
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, as I mentioned homecomings, Cliff Kingsbury, head coach for

856
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 4: four years, Zach Ertz tight end had a big catch

857
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 4: last night on fourth down. So yeah, this Commander's team

858
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 4: is playing well. Cardinals, well, they've been kind of up

859
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 4: and down. Head coach Jonathan Gannett wants more consistency.

860
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 8: You're just looking for consistency, you know what I mean.

861
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 8: And that's why there's a lot of things that we

862
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 8: have to do a better job of to put us

863
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 8: in better position to win. It's just a couple plays

864
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 8: here and there of consistency. And I know that's why

865
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 8: I'm enthused because I know we can do it.

866
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people Paul going into the

867
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 4: season looked at week four and so, all right, Washington

868
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 4: still kind of relatively young new head coach, although it's

869
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 4: the second time Dan Quinn has been a head coach.

870
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 4: You've got a rookie quarterback. But this Commander's team from

871
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 4: week one to week two to week three, I mean,

872
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 4: it was all Daniels in week one running the football.

873
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 4: They kicked a bunch of field goals, in week two

874
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 4: and then last night exploding for thirty eight point and

875
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, there is a lot of talk,

876
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 4: a lot of buzz with this Washington Commanders team.

877
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 6: They haven't punted in two games, no turnovers. They had

878
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 6: seven field goals and seventh possessions two weeks ago, and

879
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 6: that win against the Giants, and then against Cincinnati last

880
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 6: night four touchdowns, a field goal and another touchdown. So hello, now,

881
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 6: can I be a Tuesday morning quarterback here off Monday

882
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 6: night football? Of course, lou ANORUMO, what are you doing?

883
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 6: What is the kryptonite to Cliff Kingsbury? It's the shell coverage,

884
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 6: the two high safeties. How is Terry McLaurin getting behind

885
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 6: your defense twice in single coverage? What are you doing?

886
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 6: Hasn't it been proven that you have to force a

887
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 6: Cliff Kingsbury offense to deal with that too high shell

888
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,959
Speaker 6: coverage make them go twelve, thirteen to fifteen plays down

889
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 6: the field because they're more apped to go east west

890
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 6: than north south. And so I just thought that was

891
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 6: a critical error by the Bengals defense.

892
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 5: Well, I think the Cardinals this week will be brushing

893
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 5: up on their our wide receiver screen defense just to

894
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 5: be ready for that. I think we might see a

895
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 5: steady dose of that come Sunday.

896
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 4: And think about it.

897
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 6: Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson and Dennis Gardek. I mean,

898
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 6: they know that offense really well. Kyler Murray knows that

899
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 6: offense better than anyone. We joked on the Head Coaches

900
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 6: TV Show this week, Nick Rowlis, you want to bring

901
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 6: Kyler in for an extended coffee, you download some info

902
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 6: there as to the scheme. And then the other thing

903
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 6: is Jaydon Daniels does not hesitate to run it. He

904
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 6: doesn't hesitate to run it straight up the field and

905
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 6: take some hollacious hits. I mean one in the same

906
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 6: name of RG three is going on if you're gonna

907
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 6: subject him to that sort of physical beating.

908
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 4: So far, so good, But how risky is that?

909
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 6: Because he's run it more than any quarterback in the

910
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 6: NFL thirty eight.

911
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 4: Carries for Jayde Daniels. That's better than ten a game

912
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 4: so far this season. Now, defensively for the Commanders, they

913
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 4: are not very good. It's the first year defensive coordinator

914
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 4: for Joe Witt, and this is a team right now

915
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 4: that's twenty nine and scoring they rank near the bottom

916
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 4: and total yards passing yards allowed. Well, you talk about

917
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 4: the Cardinals the ability to run, get that run game going,

918
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 4: This Commander's team allows better than five yards a rushing attempt.

919
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 4: So perhaps this is the week that you can get

920
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 4: that ground game going on a more consistent basis.

921
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you look at the Commander's defensive line and

922
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 5: it's just first rounder after first rounder. I mean, they

923
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 5: must be underachieving because the talent is there, it's just

924
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 5: they just haven't put it together. And so you know,

925
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 5: hopefully the Cardinals take advantage of that.

926
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 6: I mean Deron Paige, Jonathan Allen Cleveland Farrell right, a

927
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 6: former number four pick overall. Dante Fowler Junior. On the

928
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 6: other side, he's a former first round pick. They went

929
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 6: after Jeruson Newton High second round. So to Rob's point,

930
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 6: it figures to be another test for the Cardinals offensive line.

931
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 4: One oh five is the kickoff on Sunday at the

932
