Here's Craig Griolou, three time Pro bowler Kyle Vandenbosch, 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: and thirteen year NFL veteran Drew Stanton. Well, it is 13 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: game week, gentlemen. The regular season has finally arrived. That 14 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: means be to bring everyone together twenty five years of 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: playing experience. Oh yeah, and then there's me, which I 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: have no experience whatsoever between the white lines. But watching 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: the two of you do what you do best, I 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: think I'm somewhat capable of handling the next sixty minutes. 19 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: But it is good to have everyone back and Drew, 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: it is just good to have the regular season here. 21 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: No more preseason talk. Oh, speculation is over. Time to 22 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: show up and play that. I mean, this is a 23 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: speculation never ends. Yeah, I mean, this feels like the 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: longest offseason of my life and career, just talking about 25 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: a team and expectations about moving pieces, about how they're 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: going to fill gaps and all this stuff. But now 27 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: is when we get answers, and now is when the 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: fun begins and you see the beginning of what this 29 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: team looks like. And then you will get a systematic 30 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: approach of how they're going to try and navigate these 31 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: waters as they're presenting with different challenges. And one of 32 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: the challenges is going to be what does Kyler Murray 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: do to take this offense, this team, this organization to 34 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: the next level. Kyler Murray, the contract, how this team 35 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: finishes seasons, the home record and the lack of success 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: at home going back to last season, all of that 37 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: we've talked about upgrades, losses, additions. But to jews point, Kyle, now, 38 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, let's see what this team has in 39 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: store for us. Yeah, it's showtime. I mean, On top 40 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: of that, there's the narrative of how you approach the preseason. 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City approached the preseason completely different than the Cardinals did, 42 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: and nobody has the answers about how this is gonna look, 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: what is best. A lot of people think they know 44 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, but until the ball is snapped for 45 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: the first play on Sunday, we won't get any true answers. 46 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: And that you know, it has been a long offseason, 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: but I don't recall an offseason that kind of kept 48 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: us engaged with so many different storylines and so many 49 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: different things popping up. And so it'll be interesting to 50 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: see how coach Kingsbury and this staff pieces it all 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: together and what type of game plan and how they 52 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: approach this first game against Kansas City. And not always 53 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: positive as far as the off season, but as we say, 54 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: the off season in the National Football League doesn't really exist. 55 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: It's just different parts of what has become a full 56 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: calendar year sport. And credit the NFL for doing that. 57 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: But to your point, this is a team. Now we 58 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: get to see what they are made of. But the 59 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: Week one opponent Kansas City, and I'll go back to 60 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: last season, because we all had the same questions wondering 61 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: you're on the road at Tennessee, a Titans team with 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, you had Julio Jones, a J. Brown, what 63 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: were they going to do? And then of course it 64 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: was a one sided contest in the Cardinals favor It 65 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: was a huge surprise. Cardinals rolled into that into a 66 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: seven and tenant to start as well, and then the backslide. 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: So I think, Kyle, we are looking at the same 68 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: questions with the Kansas City Chiefs at home and Patrick 69 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Mahomes and all their offensive weapons. Yeah. Absolutely. Since Patrick 70 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: Mahomes has taken over as a starting quarterback, they finished 71 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: top six in the league at least top six every year. 72 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: So what you can expect is the same high powered offense. 73 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: You know, they have some questions as well. They've got 74 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: some new receivers their offense, they're plugging in new guys 75 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: and so it's a challenge knowing what how they're going 76 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: to approach this game, what their offense is going to 77 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: look like. But when Patrick Mahomes is under center, it's 78 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: always a challenge. And so you know, vance Joseph again, 79 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, I'm always impressed with 80 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: his game plans and how he mixes things up and 81 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: gives different looks. And there's no challenge like this one. 82 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: But you can, like you said, you can rewind look 83 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: at last year, look at the Tennessee Titans. Look what 84 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: the Titans did to you know, most other teams that 85 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: they played in the regular season schedule, and feel good 86 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: at least about the approach and the defensive game plan 87 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: that they'll have going into this one. Saying that, you know, 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: I think that the perception and at least what I 89 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: expect is this to be a high scoring game. I 90 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: believe not mistaken. The Titans finished as the number one 91 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: seed in the AFC despite losing to the Cardinal in 92 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: Week one, Drew, do you like this Week one matchup 93 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: as far as not easing into the season, although maybe 94 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: at this point there is no such thing as easing 95 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: in colleges. You can do those the first two or 96 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: three games non conference before the regular season or the 97 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: conference season begins, but I don't know if that happens 98 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Your humility is flattering. You 99 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: knew that they were the number one seed. You are 100 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: correct in saying it didn't have it written down. I 101 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: wish it was just kind of off the top of 102 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: my head well and saying that, No, I would love 103 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: to ease in with an easier game, you know, as 104 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: opposed to happen to have it be a shootout, like 105 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: Kyle said. But the thing that's interesting, right when you're 106 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: dealing with really good coaches or a good culture or 107 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: a good organization, they don't know their identity yet because 108 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: as you add pieces, you subtract, you add people on. 109 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: They're trying to figure that out. What you do know 110 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: is you're dealing with an extremely aggressive defensive cordiner and 111 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: Steve Spagnola what he's going to do, He's not afraid 112 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: to bring it all out pressure. So right away you're 113 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: going to be tested and for can you run the football? 114 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: All the questions that you want to do football comes 115 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: down to blocking, tackling and being able to do those 116 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: things extremely well. And so Kyle's point, the camps were 117 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: two very drastic different camps as far as quarterback exposure 118 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: of what they're doing all of these things. But I 119 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: saw stat Patrick Mahomes in his four career week one starts, 120 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns, no interceptions. That's scary that's a guy that 121 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: again has put the time and effort in the off 122 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: season to be able to do that. And though there 123 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: are different guys in different places, and you know Tyreek 124 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: Hill's gone, he still has his security blanket. He still 125 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: has the ability of a play caller that he's comfortable with. 126 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: He even gets Matt Naggie back, So Patrick is going 127 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: to be in complete control. This can't be a back 128 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: and forth match of scoreboard watching. It's got to be Okay, 129 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: let's just protect the football. Let's be smart, have Kyler 130 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: go out, because again, he is going to be without 131 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. We know that, but we made a concerted 132 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: effort in the off season to be able to mitigate 133 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: all of those factors of knowing what we happened last year, 134 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: of saying, we have all this talent around him. Now 135 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: we even bolstered the offensive line. We have all these guys. 136 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: So again, they're going to be able to go down 137 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: a lot of different paths because do you get more 138 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: tight ends on the field, do you get more running 139 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: backs on the field. How can you do this? Where 140 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: do you gain an advantage against this defense? And that's 141 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: where Kyler's going to be able to take that next 142 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: step in his progression as far as a professional. The 143 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,119 Speaker 1: big storyline this week, obviously, with Mahomes coming to town, 144 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: his college head coach, Cliff Kingsbury will be on the 145 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: opposite sideline, and yes, Kingsbury is well aware, oh Mahomes 146 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: can do with the football in his hands, and when 147 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: you look at what the Cardinals have, especially in the secondary, 148 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: this might not be a great situation Week one for 149 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals facing Mahomes and company. Here is Cliff Kingsbury 150 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: and that ideal, that's for sure. That's a pretty good offense. 151 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: But obviously we've had some stuff out of our control. 152 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: That's that's happened over the last six months and doesn't 153 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: make it easy. But we're trying to do some things 154 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: to fix that over the next few weeks. So we'll 155 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: see see how it plays out. But you'd like to 156 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: have a little more depth and experience. I think I'm 157 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: going to this one, but that's everybody's dealing with something 158 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: this time of year, the unforeseen situation, especially at the 159 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: cornerback position. Obviously, you go back early in the offseason, 160 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: the Cardinals did address the cornerback position, and then you 161 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: have the tragic passing of Jeff Gladney, you bring in 162 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: or bring back Antonio Hamilton and he has an unfortunate 163 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: incident at home and he is on or he is 164 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: on the shelf now for at least the first four games. 165 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: So you're going in cornerback wise with Byron Murphy, Marco Wilson, 166 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: Trayvon Mullen who was just added to the team, Javelin 167 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: Guidry who was just added to the team, and your 168 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: seventh round draft pick Christian mccaffe or Christian Matthew. Excuse me, 169 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: certainly not ideal to use Kingsbury's Choice awards, but this 170 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: is what you have and you have to figure out 171 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: a way to get past this week. Yeah. Well, you 172 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: can protect those corners. You can be able to do 173 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: different things in the structure and framework of Vance Joseph's defense. 174 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: These guys are gonna get a full game week prep. Again, 175 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: some guys play better and man, some guys are better 176 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: in zone. You can do stuff to help them out, 177 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: especially when you have two elite safeties like we have, 178 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: we have a luxury of being able to kind of 179 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: help them out. They can communicate, they can over communicate 180 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: to these guys on what's going on, and again we 181 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: have the capability within the structure of this offense or 182 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: defense to be able to see what Marco Wilson can do. 183 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: We're just waiting for him to flip the switch. Everybody's 184 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: sitting there waiting to see, Okay, step up to the challenge, 185 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: be that guy that we know you can be. And 186 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: if he does that and answers that bell, it kind 187 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: of helps everybody just take a deep exhale, especially on defense, 188 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: of feeling good about working within the framework of that defense. 189 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: And again, it takes all three levels on defense to 190 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: be able to do that. It has to be a 191 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: concerted effort. Guys have to plaster, they have to be 192 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: able to stick to guys because Patrick will turn this 193 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: into a broken play into a touchdown and a heartbeat. 194 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: Mullin will be paying attention to this week because he 195 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: was working out on the side during Monday's practice and 196 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: we're all pointing to Wednesday's first practice of game week 197 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: and then the first injury report. It's been pretty consistent 198 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: this entire offseason about giving just enough information when it 199 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: comes to injuries. But when you don't see a Marcus 200 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: Golden on the field of Zach Ertz on the field. 201 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: JJ Watt's still recovering from COVID. Those are some key 202 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: pieces that we're still not quite sure will be available 203 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Yeah. On top of that, there's a lot 204 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: of you know, key players that have missed time during 205 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: training camp, so you don't know where they're at. I mean, ideally, 206 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: you go into that first game everybody's one hundred percent 207 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: and healthy, and then you start to lose players from there. 208 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: You know, I think that there's several players that you 209 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: didn't even mention that are are battling injuries that could 210 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: be potential game time decisions. So you know, we'll see, 211 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: we'll see who's available. And going back to you know 212 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: what Drew was talking about preparing for Patrick Mahomes, even 213 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: if we had you know, two three elite corners and 214 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: quality depth at the cornerback position. To me, the key 215 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: of the game is going to be the outside linebacker position. 216 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: The guys of the defensive tackle to be able to 217 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: get pressure but keep him in the power because that's 218 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: how Patrick Mahomes beat you. It's the off schedule plays, 219 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: the plays you don't prepare for, the plays that I 220 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: mean you can memorize, you could they can hand us 221 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: the playbook and we can know exactly the plays they're 222 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: gonna run. But how he runs them is so different 223 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: than most quarterbacks in the league. He doesn't stay in 224 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: the pocket. He does buy time. He will scramble for 225 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: first downs when you have everybody covered, but you can 226 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: cover for three four seconds. But his ability to roll 227 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: out to buy time for his receivers to get separation, 228 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: for Travis Kelsey to find an open spot in his 229 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: own coverage, that's what usually beats teams on the injury 230 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: in front. Some good news. Ron del Moore was on 231 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: the practice field, Jonathan Ward close to being one hundred 232 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: percent you you will have all five running backs of 233 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: vail Will at your disposal on Sunday. Still question marks 234 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: at the tight end position, and then who are your 235 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: starting guards? Justin but dealing with a stinger? Does Cody 236 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: Ford become that starting left guard with Will Hernandez as 237 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: you're starting right guard? Still questions to be answered, But hey, 238 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: at least we've got a game at the end of 239 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: this week that will count.

We'll get 246 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: to that next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, 247 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: pass away over the middle and a diving interception by Thompson. 248 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: He gets up of the twenty five runs left of 249 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: the thirty and knocked down there. Jayalen Thompson with the pick. 250 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: Thompson with a big time pick, throws near side. It's 251 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: high and picked off at the thirty yard line by 252 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: Jayalen Thompson. He's run out of bounds. The ball batted 253 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: into the air and there was Jaalen Thomps with Johnny 254 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: on the spot upon off to your side, Penna ticked 255 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: off on the thirty by Thompson running it back to 256 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: your side. Fifteen ten to five nine on the pylon. 257 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: He's on the phone then side and ten of the 258 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: five yard line. But what a huge play by Jalen Thompson. 259 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: A career year for Jalen Thompson in twenty twenty one, 260 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: led the team in tackles that career highs and interceptions passes, 261 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: defense started twelve of seventeen games and earlier actually late 262 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: last week, rewarded with a three year contract extension signed 263 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: through twenty twenty five. As we welcome back here the 264 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Seeking Your Ticket to 265 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: Great Seats greg oryl Drew Stanton and Kyle Vanenbosch, and 266 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: the story of Jalen Thompson Drew not just a fifth 267 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: round draft pick, but fifth round and the supplemental draft 268 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, and the progress that he has made 269 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: from then being basically thrown into the fire. He had 270 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: no offseason whatsoever. He was meeting his teammates, his coaches 271 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: during training camp that offseason and then now here he is, 272 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: along with Buddha Baker, one of the best safety tandems 273 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, I mean, he's been remarkable. You 274 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: look and think back to last year and those guys 275 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: were so good at the point of attack. They didn't 276 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: miss tackles. You know, they were coming up and filling gaps. 277 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: And again, in this scheme, you need to be able 278 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: to do that. And Buddha, with all the accolades he 279 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: has of being essentially a first round pick and getting 280 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: the contract extension and being in the leader of that 281 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: defense has kind of allowed Jalen to just go about 282 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: his business and being a fifth round supplemental pick. I 283 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: remember talking to one of the guys in the organization 284 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: in the front office, and I was like, man, this 285 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: kid is so good. Does he realize how good he 286 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: is and he goes. I don't know if he does, 287 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: but his Asian does. And obviously the contract that he 288 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: was rewarded with speaks to that. Again, you talk about 289 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: Lee and leading the team in tackles, being able to 290 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: be around the football. Everything he does. They play so 291 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: well together and it's an infectious type of personality that 292 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: he has to just go about his business. I mean 293 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: is flying around it and everywhere he goes. They do 294 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: it really well. Is put in the field in half 295 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: between the two of them, one of the better open 296 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: field tacklers, not just on this team, Kyle, but in 297 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: the league itself. There is no fear with Jayalen Thompson. Now, 298 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: between he and Buddha, they're like the Erasers back there. 299 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: Anybody gets through, they're not scoring, They're gonna go. They're 300 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: gonna go to the ground. I watched the cut up 301 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: that Brian Baldegger did and it was about Buddha Baker 302 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: and Jalen Thompson. And you know, the thing that stands 303 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: out as the tackling is particularly the open field tackling, 304 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: which is a lost art in the NFL. It's so 305 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: hard to get receivers running backs down in the open fielding. 306 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: And they never miss between the two of them. But 307 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: he went through their tackling, their coverage, their ability to blitz, 308 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: and probably their best asset between the two of them. Um, 309 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: I know we're talking specifically about Jalen Thompson now, is 310 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: just how quickly they recognize plays and diagnosing and are able. 311 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: While it looks like they're playing at a different speed 312 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: than just about anybody else on the field, that's not 313 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: because of their athletic abilities, because of their knowledge of 314 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: this defense and their knowledge of what the offense is 315 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: trying to do. And between the two of them, they're 316 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: big problem solvers because they're not just sitting deep taking 317 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: away the deep threat. They're up in the box a lot, 318 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: making tackles either at the line of scrimmage or for 319 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: one or two yard gains. And while those things don't 320 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: always show up. You know, everybody's looking at who's got sacks, 321 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: who's got interceptions, who's making the big pass breakups that 322 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: helped this defense to a large degree last year. Their 323 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: ability to come up in the box and make plays 324 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: and get guys on the ground. Year six upcoming four Buddha, 325 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: Year four for Jalon, and they might be asked to 326 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: do just a little bit more as far as on 327 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: the back end, maybe even closer to the line of 328 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: scrimmage and maybe covering some wide receivers, some running backs, 329 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: maybe even a tight end as well, because, as we discussed, 330 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: there is a little bit of a question mark or 331 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: a big question mark at the cornerback position. Here's head 332 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury on the prospects of Buddha and Jalen 333 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: maybe up near the line of scrimmage. Definitely big to 334 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: have guys like that that we feel like we can 335 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: cover in the slot if need be. Emergency type backup plans, 336 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: but we gotta get more depth there soon and we're 337 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: working on that. It certainly sounds like the emergency might 338 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: be this week based off of the head coach's comments. 339 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: We're working on that. They're trying to figure out the 340 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: best way with this week one matchup against the Chiefs, 341 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: how to attack what Mahomes has as far as pass 342 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: catchers are concerned. Yeah, And like Kyle said, right, we're 343 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: being able to recognize what's going on, understanding the framework 344 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: of that offense and going up against the best title 345 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: in the league, right, I mean, one of those guys 346 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: is going to give you the best opportunity and if 347 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: you feel good about putting one on them or trying 348 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: to bracken them or do something like that, that will 349 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: help this team be in a position to win when 350 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: the time comes. And another thing that Jaalen and Buddha 351 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: do so well as they work in tandem from a 352 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: quarterbacks perspective, right, if one safety moves before the other, 353 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: or guy's dropping down to the box, or he flies 354 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: off the hash or anything like that, there's such a 355 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: tip or a key to a coverage a quarterback we'll 356 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: get because the quarterback always starts or should start from 357 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: going from the boundary safety to the field safety because 358 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: you'll find out everything you need to know. And these 359 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: two guys do such a good job of disguising holding 360 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: it and again playing off of each other, rocking and 361 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: rolling as the terminology that you hear a lot from 362 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: the back end of these guys, and they do it 363 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: extremely well, so being able to disguise coverage to be 364 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: able to do all these things and again red react 365 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: and get downhill fast. And again we'll probably see them 366 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: in coverage more than you would think, but they have 367 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: the capability of doing that. And it's not just one 368 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: guy because usually there's a strong safety in a free safety. 369 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: These guys are interchangeable and that's such a huge asset 370 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: to be able to have. We've seen both near the 371 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, whether it's rushing in the quarterback or 372 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: covering a pass catch or the Cardinals, as we mentioned, 373 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: did address the cornerback position, acquiring trayvon Mullen from the Raiders, 374 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: claiming Javelin guidury for off waivers from the Jets, So 375 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: there are options. We just don't know how well they'll 376 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: do within this scheme. Kingsbury, though, does like what he's 377 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: seen so far. Limited out of trayvon Mullin, we'd like 378 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: to take I mean, big athletic corner that can run, 379 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: play physical, I mean a lot of things that fit 380 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: what we do and want to do. And so I'm 381 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: very glad that we were able to acquire him when 382 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: we did. Has good size, six two two hundred pounds, 383 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: thirty seven games, thirty one starts. I love the size, Kyle, 384 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: just because you don't typically see corners that are six 385 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: feet or taller. Cardinals now have a couple now Christian 386 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: Matthew is still green, but low. You've got someone that 387 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: is capable with some experience, maybe a fresh start going 388 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: from Las Vegas to Arizona. Yeah, he's definitely got the measurables. 389 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: Every NFL team is looking for the tall corner that 390 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: can also cover. You. Just like the size, because wide 391 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 1: receivers in this league particularly that a lot of the 392 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: really really good ones are you know, six three six, 393 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: four six five, and you can have the best coverage 394 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: in the league. But when you know receivers have that 395 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: type of catch radius, you would need that link that 396 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: corner as well. So you know, you hope he can 397 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: get up to speed quickly. You hope he's ready to 398 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: step in and cover some of these Kansas City receivers 399 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: week one. But you know, we'll see It's it's a 400 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: tough problem to have, and you understand why teams particularly 401 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: coach Kingsbury. But a lot of teams in the league 402 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: are so secretive during the off season about status and 403 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: injuries and trying to you know, everybody's asking every day 404 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: about updates. Well, you know, if you're a team that's 405 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: in dire need, then other teams kind of have you, 406 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: so you don't necessarily want to give away that information. 407 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: You know, hopefully they were able to find a diamond 408 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: here that you know that Oakland overlooked and got rid 409 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: of before they should have. Certainly did not sound like 410 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: Trayvon was a part of the Raiders plans, and the 411 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals say, maybe it's an opportunity here in Arizona. We 412 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: had a chance to hear from Trayvon Mullen earlier this week. 413 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not too much different. I've played in 414 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: it before two years, so it's kind of good that 415 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: I got a chance to come here and fit right in, 416 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: learning the terminology, learn the scheme, and learn the players 417 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: and learn how we communicate. Given his size, Drew, there's 418 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: at least from my thought part process looking from outside 419 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: looking in with his size, and you add a Marco 420 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: Wilson who's better as an outside corner, and we know 421 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: this team likes what Buyer Murphy does inside. Maybe now 422 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: you have your top three corners and utilizing Buyer Murphy 423 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: where he's best suited and that's inside versus forced to 424 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: play outside. Yeah, well, I think again, as he alluded to, 425 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: he's been in the structure of this defense. He understands 426 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: what it is. Sometimes it's just tweaking things here there 427 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: to understand the communication. Again, going back to previously, when 428 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: you have the safeties that can tell you what to do. Look, 429 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: you play quarters coverage a certain way, you have different 430 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: things that you can do, or you even divide it 431 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: up and say, okay, we're only going to have you 432 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: out there in nickel search situations, right like you're going 433 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: to be the third corner. You're gonna go to the 434 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: outside when they have eleven person on the field, or 435 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: it dictates a base passing game. We're not going to 436 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: trouble you with that. We just want to be able 437 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: to do it because there's different game plans and structures 438 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: within coverages that you'll see that will dictate what's going 439 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: to be on the field. So there's a way to 440 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: slowly eat him into this. If you feel like you 441 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: don't want to overwhelm him and maximize his talents right 442 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: away and kind of slowly build and build and build 443 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: until you just unleash him and say, okay, now you're 444 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: going out there. Javelin Goodrey by the way, five nine one, 445 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: he's a speed demon, maybe more or so on special teams, 446 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: but at that size, probably more of an inside corner. 447 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: But you talk about what this team has in the 448 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: secondary versus what they're going to see on Sunday, it's 449 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: going to be a challenge for every one that is 450 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: asked to cover a pass catcher. Yeah, you know you 451 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: ideally you do love to bring them along slowly, especially 452 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: since they just got here. You know. The hard part is, 453 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: you know one of the big stories of the offseason 454 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: was the arms race in the AFC West. Well, we 455 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: open up with two teams from the a FC West 456 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: that have good quarterbacks, have talented receiver corps. So you know, 457 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: there's no challenge like not only week one, but going 458 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: into Week two and even week three against the Rams. 459 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: So these guys are going to be tested. Um, you know, 460 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: I think they're sitting in their meetings right now looking 461 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: at the roster makeup of the Arizona Cardinals and they're 462 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: looking at opportunity. So it's an opportunity for these new 463 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: players and the players that are that had been on 464 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: this roster to step up and show what they can do, 465 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: because you don't you know, you know, you're not facing 466 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: a Baltimore team that you know is a run first 467 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: team and you know you can possibly get away with 468 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: in experience or bringing new guys into the roster. You're 469 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: going against a high powered offense and offensive coordinator like 470 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: Andy Reid that changes things up with personnel and motions 471 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: and shifts so much before the play even starts. So 472 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: they will be tested right from the get go. And 473 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: this is where you hope that Marcus Golden is healthy. 474 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: But Dennis Gardak is that player from two years ago, 475 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: and maybe you found something in a Victor McCage to 476 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: affect Patrick Mahomes. So where those guys in the back 477 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: end aren't covering four an extra second or two exactly. 478 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: I think the pressure that the Cardinals are able to 479 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: get up front, whether it be with their outside linebackers, 480 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: with how different their interior defensive lineman looked, the way 481 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: they got in the backfield in the preseason. The guys 482 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: that we got to see you know, I think that's 483 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: the story of the game. If they can get Patrick 484 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: mahomes Is particularly, get hits on him early, get him 485 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: on the ground early, keep him in the pocket, and 486 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: make him have to send the pocket and make his reads. 487 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: I think that will be the story of the game. 488 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals and Chiefs kickoff at one twenty five on Sunday. 489 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: We continue here.

Everyone's gonna focus 505 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: on Patrick Mahomes, which we've discussed and we will again 506 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: later on. But you look at what this Cardinal offense 507 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: has with Kyler Murray, and even without a DeAndre Hopkins Drew, 508 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: you still have enough pass catchers in that wide receiver room, 509 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: and top of the list is we're anxious to see 510 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: what Hollywood can do back with his former Oklahoma teammate. 511 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: How excited is Jim one hundred to not have to 512 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: play the twenty eighteen clip of them and everybody in 513 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinal fan base to hear that because we 514 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: expect that. Again, he was a first round pick, a 515 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: guy that wanted to come here, wanted to be reunited 516 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray and what he brings to the table. 517 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: I think the speed that he has on the outside 518 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: and what he can add to that. Again, there's so 519 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: many guys that have the ability to step up, and 520 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: Kyle alluded to the lead in who's going to do it? 521 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: Who's going to take the bull by the horns because 522 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 1: he has the capability to do it. AJ's in year 523 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: or two. He's got the capability to do it. Ron 524 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: Da Moore. I mean guys like Andy Azabella, Gregtorche, they 525 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: might be the ones that answered the bell. The availability 526 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: of zach Ertz will tell a lot. I remember Cliff 527 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: talked about in training camp. He was like, Hey, it's 528 00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: kind of fun when we were down on tight ends. 529 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: We've got four wide receivers out on the field. Again, 530 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: where can you gain an advantage? And against Steve Spagnoll 531 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: in this defense, he's going to bring pressure. Yes, the 532 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: honey Badger is not there anymore. Tyrann Matthew Leaves goes 533 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: back home. But they got Justin Reid. In my opinion, 534 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: he's one of the most underrated safeties in this league. 535 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: He is a veteran presence that will get guys lined up. 536 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: He will be very good because Steve's going to bring pressure. 537 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: We know that what is the answer when you bring pressure. 538 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: He's going to bring cover zero, all out blitz. The 539 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: ball has to get out of the quarterback hands. Does 540 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: he check to a screen, does he try and block 541 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: it up and say, hey, I'm going to beat the 542 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: extra ad on Blitzer. All of these things they'll prepare 543 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: throughout the course of the week. Can they stick to 544 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: that game plan? Can they be able to do that 545 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: and get the ball out in the perimeter because there 546 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: is so much talent out there, and it's not just 547 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: the wide receivers, it's also the tight ends that we have. 548 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: But the running back group has showed that they can 549 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: catch the ball and be difference makers as well. Hollywood Brown, 550 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: AJ Green, Rondel Moore, Greg Doorge, Andy Isabella, those of 551 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: your five wide receivers. Remember no d hop Antoine Wesley 552 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: is on andured reserve. So it's a matter of getting 553 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: the ball out to your playmakers regardless of what the 554 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: Chiefs do on defense. But we talked all preseason, Kyle 555 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: about the preseason of Greg Dortche and Andy Isabella. Was 556 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: there enough room within that wide receiver room to have 557 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: those two make the team one or the other, maybe both. 558 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: But injuries and the suspension to DeAndre Hopkins has opened 559 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: up the door for both of them. And now given 560 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: Antoine Wesley's injury, you're gonna see Greg Dortche and Andy 561 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: Isabella on the field on Sunday yeah, you hope that 562 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: they're able to take advantage of this opportunity the refs 563 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: that they get. You know, they're both just itching to 564 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: make a contribution to this team, to show the playmaking 565 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: ability that they showed in the preseason. You know, the 566 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: story of our preseason was that wide receiver position and 567 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: how consistently through those three preseason games they stepped up, 568 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: made plays and proved that they belong not only in 569 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, but they belong on this roster with a 570 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: talented position group. You know, you got to think that, 571 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, we just got through thirty minutes of talking 572 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: about how are we going to cover? How are we 573 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: going to play against the Kansas City offense with all 574 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: these weapons. They're probably in Kansas City doing the same thing, 575 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: both media and in their their their meeting rooms, talking about, look, 576 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of weapons. They've got dudes that 577 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: can flat out fly. They got guys that are a 578 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: real threat to take it to the house anytime they 579 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: get their ball in their hands. So you know they've 580 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: got a challenge as well. That's why, you know, just 581 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: taking a view from Afar, you think that this is 582 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: just gonna be score after score and you know which 583 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: team has the ball last? You know, you hope not. 584 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: You know, while we here have a lot of confidence 585 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: advanced Joseph and how he uses his pieces, it may 586 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: come down to that. It may come down to which 587 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: team has the ball last. Because there is so many 588 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: talented weapons on both of these rosters. And you brought 589 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: it up, Kyle, the amount of speed in that wide 590 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: receiver room. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. We got to 591 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: find a way to use it. There's a lot of 592 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: playmakers in there. There's no doubt. Even with Hot who's 593 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, one of the all time greats, being out 594 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: first part of the season, I'm excited to watch some 595 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: of the young guys get their opportunity. Aj looks great, 596 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: has been back and healthy and gives us some size 597 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: out there. And then those those little guys can all 598 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: really run. So we're gonna have a good plan find 599 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: a way to maximize all their talents and excited to 600 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: see how we can stretch the field with him. Of course, 601 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: Kyler's got to have time to wait for those little guys, 602 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: if you will, to use Cliffs words to get downfield 603 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: and have more of a vertical passing game. As opposed 604 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: to the horizontal passing game. I think we saw too 605 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: much of that last season at times. But Kyle Murray 606 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: does have the ability to look and look at that second, third, 607 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: fourth option no matter how many different wide receivers might 608 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: be on the field. Yeah, exactly, But I think you 609 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: also look at, you know, the quarterback matchups intrigue game 610 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: because there's a similar style of play to both of them. 611 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: They have the ability to extend players like Kylo saying 612 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: the biggest thing for us as an Arizona Cardinals organizations, 613 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: but can when you get Patrick Mahomes to the ground 614 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: because he keeps plays alive. The same thing can be 615 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: said for Kyler Murray. He does it so well. He 616 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: remains a pastor to the last possible second, and being 617 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: able to do that allows him to find things because 618 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: it's just slow to him when he gets outside the pocket. 619 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: His scrambled drills are what allows the offense to have 620 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: big plays and create big plays. And it's not just 621 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: one or two guys that he's looking for. He sees 622 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: the bigger picture. So his spatial awareness is really something 623 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: that plays into your hand. They're not going to play 624 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: man against us. They can't they don't match up. You 625 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: look at what they do, you look at the structure 626 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: of that defense. If they do that, it will be 627 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: a high scoring affair because they're gonna try and force 628 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: Kyler into mistakes. But at the same time, and the 629 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: m of Cliff Kingsbury in this offense is to press 630 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: on with tempo and push on, to be able to 631 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: put a defense on their heels, to be the aggressor. 632 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: He wants to do all those things, and this is 633 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: the perfect way to do it. You just have to 634 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: make sure that everybody's on the same page and dialed in. 635 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: Last season, the Chiefs ranked twenty seventh against the pass 636 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: and finished in the bottom five in sacks. Now, most 637 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: of that doesn't translate to this season, but again question 638 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: marks on that Chiefs defense. We talked about the Cardinals 639 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: wide receivers. What about the Cardinals running backs five and 640 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: that room led by James Connor. Question is, what about 641 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin Jonathan or Darryl Williams. Can't to ingram here. 642 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: It's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. I mean, James is gonna 643 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: play and we're gonna be smart with him and not 644 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: wear them out. But those other guys have earned playing 645 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: time as well, and we'll see where a Ward fits 646 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: in coming off that injury. But you know, and Darryl 647 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: done a nice job this camp, and the Key had 648 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: a great preseason and we're excited about his future. A 649 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: lot of talent in that running back room. It was 650 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: a topic of conversation all preseason Kyle about how many 651 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: do you keep? Can you keep all of them? They 652 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: chose to keep all of them. Now was there a 653 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: reason to do it? Because right now you've got as 654 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: many running backs as wide receivers. Cliff likes to throw 655 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,239 Speaker 1: the football, so how many running backs are actually going 656 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: to get to touch the ball, whether in the backfield 657 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: or as a wide receiver. That's another big question entering 658 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: this first game. What is the offense going to look like? 659 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: We just got done talking about all the speed and 660 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: all the weapons we have on the outside, but it's 661 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: hard to ignore two of the deepest positions on this 662 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: team are the running back room in the tight end room, 663 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: and do you keep those weapons off the field. I mean, 664 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: James Connor did some great things last year, but I 665 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: think you know, one of the things that Cliff just 666 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: talked about was is I think it will be valuable 667 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: to try to limit his reps, particularly early in the season, 668 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: but you do have other really talented running backs behind 669 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: him that can get the job done. They've proven it 670 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: either in the past or they've proved it in the preseason. 671 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: So you know, this may start out differently than we anticipate. 672 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: It may start out, as you know, a lot of 673 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: twelve personnel trying to pound them early, try to wear 674 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: out their defense, and then go over the top late. 675 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: So you know, again, this offense can start and evolve 676 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,239 Speaker 1: so many different ways with the weapons we have, not 677 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: just at the receiver position, not just with the quarterback. 678 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: But you know, and we we added beef at guard. 679 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: Right We've got two big road graders that we brought in, 680 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: So you have to think that that's potentially for a 681 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: reason as well. They're they're not guys that you brought into, 682 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, be in pass protection sixty seventy times a game. 683 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: They're guys that you brought in that can move a 684 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: nose tow la defensive tackle off the ball. So you 685 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: got to expect that they're going to lean on the 686 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: run game at times, and maybe early in this game, 687 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: maybe throughout the game. If they have success, so you know, 688 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: you hope that you roster spots are so valuable, so 689 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: you had to anticipate that they are going to use 690 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: all of these or at least most of these running backs, 691 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: and they have a vision about how they want to 692 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 1: use them, not just in this first game, but throughout 693 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: the season to try to keep players fresh. Well, one 694 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: motivated player in that running back room, Darrell Williams. You've 695 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: sent the past four seasons where in that chief's uniform, 696 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: you know he's going to be anxious to get on 697 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: the field and contribute to a win. Yeah. Absolutely, I 698 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: mean speaking from a personal standpoint, and Drew's probably the same. 699 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: You always want to play your best. You always have 700 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: a little bit of extra fire when you take the 701 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: field against a former team and you try to show 702 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,959 Speaker 1: that while you're happy where you're at, you're a little 703 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: bit upset that they didn't do more to try to 704 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: keep you didn't even offer him a contract. Yeah, well, 705 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: it's a fellow on the camp. When they go at 706 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: the w bacting forty Russian attempts with the magic number 707 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: last season was always that thirty more. Founder right then, 708 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: should have just asked us we had agreed Arizona Cardinals. 709 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: Single game tickets are available now.

Again week one, right 711 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: around the corner, Cardinals and Chiefs will break down what 712 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense needs to do next. Here on the 713 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals where you doing network first and roll in 714 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: the eight mall Holmes gets the shotgun, snap pumps, throws 715 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: for the end zone to Kelsey. A justing thanks to 716 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: catch talks down Travis Kelsey with a touchdown in the 717 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: back right corner of the end zone. Kansas City wins 718 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: it forty two thirty six and over time, and the 719 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: Chiefs will host the fourth straight a FC Championship game. 720 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: Just let that sink in for a moment. It's one 721 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: thing to advance the championship game for four straight seasons, 722 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: but to host the game for four straight seasons. Of course, 723 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs last year lost the Bengals in that AFC 724 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: title game. The Mahomes to Kelsey touchdown Westwood won. Kevin 725 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: Coogler on the call, and yes, Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelsey 726 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: will be at State Farm Stadium on Sunday one twenty 727 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: five is the kickoff Cardinals and Chiefs as we talk 728 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: about it here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented 729 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: by Siky Your Ticket to Great Seats And as much 730 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: as the loss of Tyreek Hill will affect things offensively, 731 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: they still do. Talking about the Chiefs here, Kyle have 732 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, if not the best tight end, one of 733 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: the best tight ends in the game, and he is 734 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: a difference maker and a problem for many defenses. Cardinals, though, 735 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: might have someone that they can think hang with a 736 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, and that would be Isaiah Simmons. Yeah. You know, 737 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: the big mystery throughout the preseason, one of the big 738 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: mistress is they talk about the star backer and what 739 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: that means and what his role will be a well, 740 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: you got to think his role this week will be 741 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: to try to limit what Travis Kelsey can do, because, yeah, 742 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: he it's amazing when you watch the Kansas City Chiefs 743 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: play and how often you say, how is Travis Kelsey open? 744 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: Like his ability to find the open spot in his 745 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: own his ability to you know, he's the guy that 746 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: when Patrick Mahoons is scrambling, other than just chuck it 747 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: deep and let Tyreek run under it, it's Travis Kelsey 748 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: that breaks your back every single time, and third and 749 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: long he gets to the sticks and gets the first down. 750 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: So if Isaiah Simmons can limit his productivity, limit the 751 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: amount of times that he's able to pick up those 752 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: third and medium to third and long and get the 753 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: first down, that'll be a huge factor in this game 754 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: because he you know, you keep thinking, well, he can't, 755 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: he can't keep doing that week after week, and Travis 756 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 1: Kelsey does week after week. He's very productive and makes 757 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: the big play when the Kansas City Chiefs offense needs it. 758 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: Does not have the experience of a Travis Kelcey, but 759 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: Simmons does have the size the speed that if he's 760 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: not lined up opposite Travis Kelsey ninety percent of the 761 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: time on Sunday, I'd be surprised. Yeah, well, I think 762 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: there's different ways to do it as well. Right, Like 763 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,959 Speaker 1: you want to be able to have him just say okay, 764 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: go over there and you're gonna cover him. That's not 765 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: going to be the case because as soon as Patrick 766 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: figures that out, they're so good. They have such good 767 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: chemistry between the two of them, and from quarterback to 768 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: tight end, you have the whole field at your disposal 769 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: because you're starting out in the middle, so you can 770 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: go in, you can go out, you can go high, 771 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: you can go low. So I would think Vance would 772 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: actually try and craft up some different things, show them 773 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: some cloud corners, being able to change the lookup pre 774 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: versus posting that for them, because he sees that Travis 775 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: does so good through the eyes of the quarterback. He's 776 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: able to, you know, create space. He's crafty at the 777 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: top of his route. He makes a lot of things 778 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: look very similar. So you know, not saying that Isaiah 779 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: Simmons can't cover him, I just don't want to see 780 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: it every single time in and out, because again, you're 781 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: then putting somebody on him that you are able to 782 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: identify time and time again, they'll they'll draw something up 783 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: in the sand and be able to do it because 784 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: they've been together for so long and he is the 785 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: biggest problem. But you have some of these pieces that 786 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: left that offense. They did a really good job of 787 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: finding different guys that fit within that scheme of filling 788 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: certain roles. You go out and get a speed guy 789 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 1: to be able to come in here and still take 790 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: the top off of coverages because again that's the tight 791 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: end's best friend and to the point that everybody has 792 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: already touched on. Patrick Mahomes is always going to keep 793 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: plays alive and be able to extend plays, and that's 794 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: where you see him and Travis Kelsey at their best. Yeah, no, 795 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, but they did add Juju Smith, Schuster, Marquez Valding, Scandling, 796 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: and drafted Scott Moore with a second round pick. So 797 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: there are a number of options outside of Tyreek Hill 798 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey, but always goes back to the quarterback, 799 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and how the Cardinals team deals with Patrick Mahomes. 800 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: Here's Jaylon Thompson. He's a playmaker. He you know, extends plays, 801 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: he can do all the little stuff. So you know, 802 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: going against a guy like Kyler is big in this 803 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: week right here. So I just gotta when we see 804 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: our ones this week, we gotta stay on our toes 805 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: and make sure that we're doing the right stuff so 806 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: that we're ready for this week against Mahomes. How big 807 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: of an advantage is that, Kyle, when you're a defense 808 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: and your own team, when you're going against them every 809 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: single day in practice, that there is some similarity. Whether 810 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: it's the quarterback position, running back, or a wide receiver 811 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: that that week's opponent does something similar to where an 812 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the defense is feels a little 813 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: bit better about going into that matchup. It's it's an 814 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: advantage for sure. Um. You know, if you have a 815 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,919 Speaker 1: quarterback that you're practicing against in training camp that never 816 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: breaks the pocket, that sits in there, doesn't have the 817 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: ability to scramble, and then all of a sudden, you're 818 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: facing an opponent with a quarterback that does extend play 819 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: and buy time with his legs. Um, it's tough. You know, 820 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,280 Speaker 1: looking back at UM, there was times when we would 821 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: take a practice squad running back and put a green 822 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: hat on him and he was the quarterback for the 823 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: week because we had to have we had to find 824 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: ways with our rush pattern to keep him in the pocket. 825 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: Everybody to stay in their rush lanes, and everybody had 826 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: to stay alive to make sure that he wasn't breaking 827 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,720 Speaker 1: the pocket and killing our dbs because you're just putting 828 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: him in such a bind when he buys time like that. 829 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: So um, you know, the Cardinals see it, and you 830 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: know the good thing is is, you know Tracey McSorley 831 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: has that ability too, and he did some of those 832 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: things in practice, so you're not for the first time 833 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: seeing a quarterback that's going to pull it down when 834 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: everybody's covered and pick up whatever yard ch he can get. UM. 835 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: So I think there is a real advantage and and 836 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: quite frankly, I mean, you know, Kyler. Kyler is a 837 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: better athlete. Kyler is more dangerous with his legs than 838 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is so um to a degree, it's it's 839 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: it might be a little different. The other way might 840 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: be a little easier because with Kyler, he will I mean, 841 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: you can't take the right angles on him because he's 842 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: so fast, Whereas Patrick Mahomes he's always looking to just 843 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: try to get that one last split second so he 844 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: can give his guys a second to get open. Perhaps 845 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: no one knows Mahomes better than Cardinal's head coach, Cliff Kingsbury, 846 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,800 Speaker 1: his coach at Texas Tech. Here is Kingsbury on Mahomes, 847 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: just really proud of the person. You know, more than anything, 848 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: just watching how he's grown up, the leadership qualities he 849 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: shows on and off the field. I mean, anytime you 850 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: watch him in any of those arenas, just how socially 851 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: responsible is how he leads, how he treats people the 852 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: stuff he does in the community of charities, and you know, 853 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: he runs the gamut of what you want a sports 854 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: start to be like and carry himself. And so that's 855 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 1: that's been really special to watch that development. Cliff did 856 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 1: mention on Monday Drew that he and Mahomes still communicate. 857 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: They're part of a text chain text messages mostly about 858 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,280 Speaker 1: as tech stuff. But it is, as Kingsbury mentioned as well, 859 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: a little surreal to be going against him in the 860 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: National Football League. I'm sure it is right because this 861 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 1: is again that you saw mature and become, you know, 862 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: a young man and grows up and becomes a grown 863 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,359 Speaker 1: man and a leader of a franchise and and one 864 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: of the faces of the NFL, if we're being completely honest. 865 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,919 Speaker 1: I mean, he signed that mega deal and now people 866 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: have followed. He's been to you know, four in a 867 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: row home AFC championship games, He's won Super Bowl as 868 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: a Super Bow m VP. I mean, he has ascended 869 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: to the elite of the elite and done it in 870 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: a manner as Cliff alluded to as well of saying, yes, 871 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: he's tremendous on the field, but he is that guy 872 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: off the field that people gravitate towards. He does all 873 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: of those things that you need to do, and you 874 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: feel good about writing a check and signing a check 875 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: for a guy like that because you know he's not 876 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: going to change as soon as that money gets into 877 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: his hands, because he's gone out there and he's proven 878 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: a weekend, week out by the way that he goes 879 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 1: out there and plays and makes everybody else better around him. 880 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a testament to him. That's how you 881 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: play this game and why you play this position, because 882 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: you're trying to not only affect the ten other guys 883 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 1: in the huddle next to you, but everybody on that 884 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,359 Speaker 1: sideline to feel like you're never out of a game, 885 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: and with Patrick Mahomes as your quarterback, you are never 886 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: out of the game. So how do you try to 887 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 1: negate that You keep him off the field? Right? How 888 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: do you try and stop Kyler Murray? You keep them 889 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: off the field. And that's by having a good offense. 890 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 1: That's by limiting the amount of possessions that he has 891 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: and not try and turn the ball over. It is 892 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: a full task of sixteen minutes you're gonna have, but 893 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,760 Speaker 1: it's doable. So more ball control. You think maybe based 894 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: off the running backs that to Drew's point, Kyle, that 895 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: the best defense might be this Cardinals offense. Well, yeah, 896 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: quite honestly. And when you're playing a high powered offense, 897 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: a lot of times you talk about it's okay if 898 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 1: they score, but they're going to score threes in that 899 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,799 Speaker 1: sevens and you want you know, this is the one 900 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: game where time and possession I think will be a 901 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: big factor just keeping offenses off the field. Again. Cardinals 902 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 1: and Chiefs Week one, one twenty five is the kickoff 903 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: eight thirty am.
