3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Cardinals starting quarterback, his backup quote McCoy

00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: why he is and his words fired up about resigning

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: first though another day, another trade. It's Cardinals Cover two,

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: in a touchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's Craig Griolou and Mike Jarecki.

12
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: What do we always say, MJA. Things happen in the

13
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: National Football League, and in the case of Wednesday, March

14
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: twenty third, very fast, the latest Tyreek Hill reportedly on

15
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: the trade block contract Discussions on an extension had stalled

16
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: between the wide receiver and the Kansas City Chiefs, and

17
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 1: in a blink of an eye like that, at least

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: in real time for the public consumption, Tyreek Hill now

19
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: is a Miami Dolphin. According to reports Fast and Furious,

20
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 1: it's never you know, you wake up and you're figuring,

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: all right, you know, maybe his second third wave of

22
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,639
Speaker 1: free agency, and then all of a sudden, the Chiefs

23
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: don't want to pay Tyreek Hill. And I think the

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Jets were used because Drew Rosenhous is his agent and

25
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: he lives in Florida. That's where he spends his offseason.

26
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: No state tax there, so I never thought he was

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: going to the Jets now and his first option was Miami,

28
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins ponied up, according to reports, five draft

29
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: picks three this year, a number one, a number two,

30
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: and a number four, and then two picks in twenty

31
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: twenty three. On top of that, poor DeVante Adams, who

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: only had the title of highest paid wide receiver for

33
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: what less than a week because again, according to reports,

34
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: tyreek hill four year extension was seventy two plus million

35
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed. I don't want you to use the word

36
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: poor Adams. Please. Very hard for me to feel sorry

37
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: for millionaires. It is it's it's just it's just fascinating,

38
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: And why bird Gang are we focused on Tyreek Hill? Well,

39
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: there's a very good reason. Well, and this is a

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: football show. True, yes, but we like to connect the

41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: dots and kind of bring it. Look, how does it

42
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: affect Well, we don't have to worry about covering Tyreek

43
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Hill exactly. The Kansas City Chiefs not a schedule. Way

44
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: when we talk about just a couple of days ago,

45
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: on an earlier edition of Cardinals Covered two presented by

46
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Hunday probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals, Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill,

47
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, Hey, they just added Jujuice Misuster. What are

48
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: the Cardinals going to do? What is any team gonna

49
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: do against the Kansas City offense? Well, you just draw

50
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: that line right across Tyreek Hill's name. And now he's

51
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: a Miami Dolphin, who, by the way, their offense looks great.

52
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: And Chase Edmonds, as I got my computer over to

53
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: my left, MJ is tweeting up a storm because the

54
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: brand new Miami Dolphin, the former Cardinal running back, is

55
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: all smiles on Twitter. And he got a response from

56
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: his ex teammates, Kyler Murray responding to Chase Edmonds and

57
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: this is pretty good back and forth quote, you've been

58
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: a Dolphin for ten days. So k one throwing some

59
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: shade on Chase. Chase is learning what it's like to

60
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: be a dolphin, and he's learning how to do fins up.

61
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: It's basically you put your your hand up above your head.

62
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: And so the guy's trying to show him. And one

63
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: of the things he really likes about Miami's the culture,

64
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: he said, and he said, by the end of the season,

65
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be speaking bilingual. Okay, hey, it's good to

66
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: have goals. So Chase Edmonds now with Raheem Moster, now

67
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: with Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle, Cedric Wilson, DeVante Parker, and

68
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: oh yeah, they also have a pretty good tight end

69
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: in Mike Asiki. So that Miami Dolphins offense all of

70
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, Mike McDaniel walking into a very good situation,

71
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: the first year head coach, former forty nine ers offensive coordinator.

72
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: The good news is mj Dolphins are nowhere on the

73
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: schedule in twenty twenty two. Now the Cardinals will play

74
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots because that was the extra game last year

75
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: was Cleveland. So he maybe we'll see him sooner rather

76
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: than later. If you look at Tuah, he had Jerry Judy,

77
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, Davonte Smith, Henry Ruggs at wide receiver. So

78
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: in nine games he had thirty three touchdowns, three interceptions,

79
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: average three hundred and fifteen yards. Now the addition of

80
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in that offense with Jaylen Waddle and all

81
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: the guys you mentioned and listen, they're going to run

82
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: the football and if you want to stack the line

83
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: that they're gonna throw it. And you know, maybe two

84
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: throws the ball more than any other quarterback between the numbers,

85
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: but now he's gonna be able to throw the ball

86
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: down the field. I'm a little confused on why the Chiefs,

87
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: what's their benefits? Why do this from their standpoint, because

88
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: you just gave up, and I use air quotes and

89
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: gave up. They got something in return. But that's a

90
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: dynamic weapon within that offense that made it lethal over

91
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and all of a sudden

92
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: you're taking that away. They still have Travis Kelcey. I

93
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: get it. They still are very very good, but let

94
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: me tell you they didn't want to pay him. Brett

95
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: Veach knows everything that's going on in the division. Teams

96
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: are mortgaging their futures. So some are zigging and zagging

97
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: and he's and listen, it wouldn't surprise me if they

98
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: have a backup plan. You know, the backup plan would

99
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: be the wide receiver from the Green Bay Packers. Don't

100
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: tell me that Marquez Valadi is Scandling is going to

101
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City. I hope not. I think he's going there.

102
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: And you're talking about seven to ten million a year. See,

103
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: that's and that's the other thing that what we've said here.

104
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: You got Brett Veach again, he's ahead of the game here.

105
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: They didn't want to pay him. They use the Jets

106
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: and they're going to bring in another receiver and only

107
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: pay him seven to ten million a year. But if

108
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: you're if you're Scandling, stay in Green Bay where you

109
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: need a number one wide receiver. If the Packers aren't

110
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: willing to pay number one wide receiver money, then that's

111
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: a whole different discussion. Well, at the end of the day, okay,

112
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: maybe they're gonna put Chris Jones on the trading block,

113
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: maybe they don't want to pay him. At the end

114
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: of the day, they have Patrick Mahomes, that's true, and

115
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: his contract is going to eat up a lot of

116
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: that salary cap, but at the same time, the salary

117
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: cap is going up too. So and as we've learned

118
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: here this offseason, if you want a player, you can

119
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: figure out a way to get that player and their

120
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: contracts under the salary cap for that particular season, and

121
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: then you worry about next season when you have to Now,

122
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: the CAP's gonna go up next year, but the following

123
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: year is going to go up. I mean, the cap

124
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: could be three hundred million, and it's yeah, I can

125
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: see that next year the TV but the following year

126
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: it could be three hundred next year it could be

127
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: two twenty five, and then after that it could be

128
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: four hundred million. The wide share. Aware of this the

129
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver market, and props to Christian Kirk if you

130
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: want to say he set the market or reset the

131
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: market with what he is making on an average yearly basis,

132
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: props to Kirk. But number one wide receiver, yeah, you're

133
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: gonna get paid. But that number two wide receiver, that

134
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: second playmaker. Now you're talking ten, twelve, thirteen million for

135
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: a number two wide receiver. I think that's where this

136
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: market is headed. Much like we've seen the explosion and

137
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: salaries for quarterbacks. Now it's wide receivers that are getting

138
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: the money. Well, how about slot receivers. Christian Kirk's a

139
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: slot receiver. He's gonna he's gonna make thirty six million

140
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: the first two years, slot receiver. And the Cardinals still

141
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: they need a number two wide receiver. And if you're

142
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: general manager Steve come, you're looking at one who's left

143
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: on the board as far as available free agents, and

144
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: then what it might cost. And if you're a free

145
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: agent out there, you might wait a little longer just

146
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: because as you see these dollar figures out there, and

147
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna now at some point you say, all right,

148
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: I just need to get into camp. I need to play.

149
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Give me whatever you got. But you know, the market,

150
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver market, it's it's growing, it's its exponentially growing. Well,

151
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: like you said, it's you know, a couple of weeks ago,

152
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: we get a signing, then you get Dfhante Adams, and

153
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: then you get Tyreek Hill today. So and we know

154
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: that it's a passing league, I mean, and you've got

155
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: guys that have the ability to take off the top

156
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: on the defense. Yeah, So you know, I give Beach

157
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: a lot of credit because it seems like he's changing

158
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: gears to focus on the future, while the other AFC

159
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: West teams are mortgage in their future. So he's zigging

160
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: when everyone else is zagging. Now, this Tyreek Hill trade

161
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: came down very very quick. Now, we thought that Matt

162
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: Ryan trade came down fast, and we kind of touched

163
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: on it in our most recent chat here on Cardinals

164
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: cover two presented by Hunday, probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals.

165
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: That one went from rumor to report to reality in

166
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: a matter of hours. And again, bird Gang, why do

167
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: we care about Matt Ryan being dealt to the Colts. Well,

168
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about Matt Ryan. The Cardinals

169
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: are going to play at the Falcons this season. And

170
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: now not Matt Ryan, but Marcus Mariota and the talent,

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback talent continues to shift from the NFC to

172
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: the AFC. Matt Ryan now out of the picture. With

173
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: respect to the Arizona Cardinal, Yeah, I'll take our chances

174
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: against Marcus Mariota, which when you look at the numbers,

175
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: it's really a one year d Yeah, I heard that.

176
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: It's I can't remember what the guarantee was, but they

177
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: structured it. This is this is a bridge stopcat whatever

178
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: it is. They the Falcons need to figure out what

179
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: they're doing at the quarterback position into the future. It's

180
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: not Mariota, right, And I think they were only what

181
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: two had coaches at Malik Willis's workout yesterday. Mike Tomlin

182
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: was one and was and I can't remember who the

183
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: other one was. Panthers. No, I don't know if Matt

184
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: Roll was there or not, but I do know Tomlin

185
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: was there because I saw pictures of him. So if

186
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: you're the Falcons here, I mean they got some picks

187
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: right from trading Matt so eventually they're gonna have to

188
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: check that box. And I don't know what the quarterback

189
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: class looks like next year. I haven't looked that far

190
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: ahead either. And you talk about quarterbacks and you know

191
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: the raw evolving door, the carousel of rotating quarterbacks. And

192
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: now you're left as far as what the Cardinals have

193
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: on their schedule the one team, actually there are two teams,

194
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: I'll take that back, and maybe even three. But I

195
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: do want to focus on the Panthers because right now,

196
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, P. J. Walker, I mean is that I

197
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: know Carolina is interested apparently not interested in Baker Mayfield,

198
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: who remains on the market. Seahawks, Drew Locke, Jacob Eeson.

199
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: Those are the quarterbacks that they have on the roster,

200
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: and they're going to resign Gino Smith, according to Pete Carroll.

201
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, so he says that he knows the system,

202
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: so he can go in as a starter and then

203
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: they'll let Locke compete. Yeah. If I'm a Seattle Seahawks

204
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: fan from a Cardinals perspective, fine, but from a Seattle

205
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: Seahawks fan that now you're you're Seattle, you're looking in

206
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: the draft to get one of those quarterbacks this year

207
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: out they're picking ninth right, correct, they have the Broncos pick. Yes,

208
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: I would, I would take a pass rusher or get alignment.

209
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean I would roll the dice, you wonder, because

210
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: they that offensive line that hasn't ever been great. So

211
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: no matter who's back there, I mean, there's a lot

212
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: of tackles out there, and then there's pass rushers. They

213
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: can take the kid from Oregon, the pass rusher, oh Um, Thibodeau. Tibodaux. Yeah,

214
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean right there in their backyard, so to speak.

215
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: But they need they need to either the pass rusher

216
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: or a tackle at number nine. And they have picks,

217
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: that's true, so they can they can maneuver. You know,

218
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: maybe the kid m is it Matt Carroll? Carroll? Yeah,

219
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: I mean there's other quarterbacks out there. Reader. Well look,

220
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have number nine, and then they have two

221
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: picks in the second round, including number forty, which they

222
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: also got from the Broncos. So and that's we're another

223
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: quarterback maybe a reader. Okay, I could see maybe looking back.

224
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: But if I'm them, I gotta I gotta build the

225
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: line or get a you know, a pass arsher. Because

226
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, they brought in Clowney, They've had they brought

227
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: in um uh Lawson, Carl Lawson, and you know, they've

228
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: kind of just brought an older guys to kind of

229
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: go in there with Jared Reid who who actually was

230
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: a good free agent out there, he signed with the Packers.

231
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: I liked him. Um good defensive lineman. So yeah, it's

232
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts. Well, you look, they also

233
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: released Carlos Dunlap. Yeah, Carlos Dunlap, sorry, Benson Mayowa all

234
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: released those Those are those are three defensive linemen right

235
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: there that the Seahawks just flat out said, you know,

236
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: we don't want you anymore. Yeah, so I think they're waving.

237
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: But again, if you can get one of those left tackles,

238
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: you're such Now. Dwayne Brown wants to return, but he

239
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: wants more money and he's getting up there, and so

240
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: question mark still with Seattle potentially as far as quarterback,

241
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: but maybe maybe for the twenty twenty two. Yeah, it's

242
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: either gonna be Geno Smith if and Whinnie resigns, and

243
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: or Drew Locke. Yeah, I think just based on not

244
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: having Russell Wilson and Carol maintains in Steinder maintain this

245
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: is not a reboot, it's just kind of reload. I

246
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: think everyone's going to pick them the finishing fourth in

247
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: the West. All right, So the other NFC West team

248
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a question mark at quarterback

249
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: or the forty nine ers Trey Lance is there now,

250
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo remains on the roster, and the number of

251
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: teams looking for a quarterback, even for one year, that

252
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: market is getting smaller and smaller. And don't forget Baker

253
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: Mayfield is out there as well. There is a sentiment

254
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: that perhaps Garoppolo remains on the forty nine ers roster.

255
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: They pay him and he's either the starter or he's

256
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: the veteran backup. You know, you talked about earlier you

257
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: felt poor Davante Adams and I was being tongue in cheek.

258
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean when you talk about snake bit, the fact

259
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: that he had to have surgery, and I think that

260
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: scared team's off. Now, technically he's going to be ready

261
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: for training camp, but you'd like to have him in

262
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: there learning a brand new offense in the offseason workouts,

263
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: working with the receivers. You'd like to have that. But

264
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: that's that's not the situation. So it wouldn't surprise me

265
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: if he returns, and maybe they'll put packages in there

266
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: for Trey Lance. I mean, you know, maybe they'll let

267
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: him play in the preseason to get Jimmy right. But

268
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: in Baker Mayfield, if if they release him, which I

269
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: don't know if they will or won't, there's some talk

270
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: he could stay in the division, go to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

271
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: There's a report out there that perhaps if released, because

272
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: if he's released, then you don't assume that contract because yeah,

273
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: but if you acquire him, now all of a sudden

274
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: you're paying him plus given up a draft pick, and

275
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: at this point in the game, maybe you just call

276
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: the bluff of the Cleveland Brown and say, all right, well,

277
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: you've got two quarterbacks. Now. The Shaun Watson's salary for

278
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: this year is such that you could pay Watson and

279
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: Mayfield and still be under twenty million dollars as far

280
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: as base salary is concerned. So yeah, that's a fascinating

281
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: part of this. As far as what happens with Baker Mayfield,

282
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: he's on the block, he wants out, but might he

283
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: be released. The other note on the forty nine ers,

284
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: by the way, and I forgot about this, MJ, but

285
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: Nate Sudfeld is on the roster. He resigned and reports

286
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: have him receiving a fully guaranteed, one year, two million

287
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: dollar contract. So you've got Trey Lance, Nate Sudfeld, and

288
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Now the question is, I mean, we all

289
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: saw and heard the press conference at the end of

290
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: the season for the forty nine Ers. Garoppolo basically said

291
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: his goodbyes and it was a foregone conclusion, and then

292
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the shoulder surgery. Now that kind of,

293
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, maybe made teams Larry about acquiring Jimmy g

294
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: But there are two quarterbacks out there, Garoppolo and Mayfield

295
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: that are kind of in no man's land at the moment.

296
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah to me, side Field, this knows the system. I mean,

297
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: two point five is not a lot of money. If

298
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: somebody goes down, and if Trey Land starts and he

299
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: would be the backup. And now you're talking about not

300
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: a ton of experience, you know, when we know that

301
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: they had C. J. Bethard, Kyle Shanahan does a really

302
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: good job with his quarterback. So I mean, but they're

303
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: gonna have to make a decision. But it wouldn't surprise

304
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: me if Garoppolo does come back. At some point, things

305
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: are going to slow down. Burkeang as far as the

306
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: amounts of roster movement, as far as trades are concerned.

307
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: But I'll say this and I read and I listened

308
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: to Peter King, and he has never seen this type

309
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: of roster movement with respects to trades. These Pro Bowl

310
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: caliber players. It's the craziest off season. Quarterbacks, wide receivers,

311
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: pass rushers. This is the craziest offense I've ever covered,

312
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: not even close. And now all of a sudden you

313
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: have to you literally have to kind of take a

314
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: step back and all right, who do the Cardinals have?

315
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: Who do the Packers have? And you just kind of

316
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: go down the line to familiarize yourself because some of

317
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: these trades, you know, you forget about, like Carson Wentz,

318
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: Say what you want about him, but that was still

319
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: a huge deal at the time, playing now for Washington.

320
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: But when you stack up the amounts of trades and

321
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: names that have been traded, Carson Wentz might be at

322
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: the bottom of that list. I think when a cell

323
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: is said and done, and they might not be over

324
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: with by the way too right, Oh yeah, definitely. I

325
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: mean you could see teams are all going all in there.

326
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: There's they're sacrifice and draft picks for the for the

327
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: known commodity. What this reminds me of is we always

328
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: hear what is the hottest item or what worked most recently,

329
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: and everyone looks at the Los Angeles Rams, they won

330
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? What did they do well? They went

331
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: all in and figured out, we don't care about twenty three, four,

332
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: twenty five, We're just gonna focus on twenty twenty one,

333
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: and it worked. I think teams are kind of looking

334
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: at that and say, how do we become the Los

335
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams in twenty twenty two? Well, I think it's

336
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: back to back years Buccaneers and the Rams. What I

337
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: was getting at. You know, Russell Wilson obviously season upgrade,

338
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: but that division is tough. I think when we look

339
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: back at all these quarterback moves, I think Matt Ryan's

340
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: going to be the best offseason move when it comes

341
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: to changing teams and going to a really ready made

342
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: playoff team. Great running game, good defense, the Frank Rights

343
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: a really good coach. Obviously the owner was disappointed and

344
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to hold back. So I think when

345
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: it's all of a sudden and done. Now they're in

346
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: another division that obviously is you got the Titans. Jaguars

347
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: are still kind of trying to find there. They're footing,

348
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: if you will, where they fit in. But alright, you

349
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: look at you. I like your comment about Matt Ryan.

350
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: All Right, all you have to do is, all right,

351
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: are the Colts better than the reigning division winners and

352
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: the Titans? I would take Matt Ryan over Ryan Tannehill.

353
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: I would too, and I would probably take the running

354
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: game from the Titans. But Jonathan Taylor's no, he's no slouch,

355
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you got Michael Pittman. And

356
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: you compare that to the AFC West, where you have

357
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: legit four teams that are kind of jockeying for position

358
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: as opposed to just the Colts and the Titans. Now

359
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: that's the AFC, and then in the NFC. We can

360
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: keep talking about what the Cardinals need and what they

361
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: have to do, but you just look at where they

362
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: stack up within the division and within the conference. I

363
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: made this comment on the Red Sea Report this week.

364
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: Within the conference, they're the second best team as we

365
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: speak here in late March, only behind the Los Angeles

366
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: Rames in my opinion in the division. In the division, okay,

367
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: I thought Rams Cardinals. Okay, yeah, now that's in the division.

368
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: Now within the conference, that's a different store. I was

369
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: gonna say fourth or fifth, because then you've got the Rams,

370
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: the Packers, the Buccaneers, and then if you want to

371
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: throw in the Dallas Cowboys in there. And now all

372
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's okay, who has the better quarterback?

373
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: And I do believe Kyler Murray's a top five quarterback

374
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: within the conference? Good agree more the only thing is

375
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be talking about this. Cardinals, just like

376
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: the NFC West, have a very difficult schedule. I mean,

377
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about playing the AFC West, but

378
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: you'll also have the um the Patriots coming in here,

379
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: you have the Buccaneers coming in here. I mean, the

380
00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: schedule is very difficult, very difficult. Nine games against playoff opponents,

381
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: and that includes two games against the Rams and the

382
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, so seven teams, but nine games against

383
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: teams that made the playoffs last year, eight games against

384
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: teams that finished with double digit wins a year ago,

385
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: and strength of schedule, I want to say the Rams

386
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: or the forty nine Ers are at the top. So

387
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: based on the previous season teams records, the Cardinals had

388
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: the second toughest schedule going into the season. Now, a

389
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of that change is based on quarterbacks injuries on

390
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: both sides, whether it's the Cardinals or another team. So

391
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: the schedule is something we're really gonna have to chew

392
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: on this year because you know, a couple of years

393
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: ago they feasted on the NFC East, they went four

394
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: and oh, and they faced it a lot of backup quarterbacks.

395
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: This is gonna be night and day. I mean, there's

396
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be you know, one of those games where

397
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: you say, I like to you know, we look at matchups,

398
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: but every game is gonna be week to week position.

399
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no game where you go, oh, the

400
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals are going to go on a three game winning streak.

401
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. And then you get to

402
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: that week and you're right, who's healthy who's not? When

403
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: are you facing X team? Is that quarterback, is that

404
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver, is that star defender healthy? Or are they

405
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: out for a period of time? So when you play

406
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: these teams might factor in as well. But getting to

407
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: eleven wins and this might go for a lot of

408
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: teams that won eleven, twelve, thirteen games last year. Based

409
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: off what we've seen in the National Football League this offseason,

410
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: you know, teams are going to be you know, ten wins,

411
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: nine wins, and all of a sudden, it's all right, tiebreakers?

412
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 1: How do you how do you determine the tiebreaker? Because

413
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: some team in twenty twenty two, whether it's NFC or AFC,

414
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: is going to be left out. A talented team is

415
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: going to get left out. And that's the reason why

416
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: you have twelve games in your conference. Now there could

417
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: be thirteen based on you know, the seventeen game schedule.

418
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: So that comes down to obviously, you want to win

419
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: your division. That's the goal because you're hosting a playoff game,

420
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: But then it comes down to conference games and then

421
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: it comes to common opponents and strength the schedule. I mean,

422
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: so clearly, just try to win the division. But clearly

423
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: the Rams are going to be the favorite when it

424
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: comes to the national meetian rightfully. So it's look, I'll

425
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: say it again, we're at the end of March. We

426
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: have six months to go before the regular season begins,

427
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: and this league, the National Football League, dominating the day, days,

428
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: weeks months with respect to what is happening as far

429
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: as players signing, players getting traded. It's look, everyone take

430
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: a deep breath at some point this offseason and you

431
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: kind of kind of reset what is going on within

432
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: your team and then who you're playing as far as

433
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: the opponents are concerned. All right days until annual league meetings.

434
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: Here in four days, we could see some rule changes

435
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: true when it comes to the overtime. Offseason workouts start

436
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: in twelve days April eighteenth, NFL Draft thirty seven days away.

437
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: Preseason one hundred and thirty four days away, Regular season

438
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty nine days away. It will be

439
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: here before you know it. Would you say yesterday, six months?

440
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: Six months? It's a little less than six months. Just

441
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: let's not rush it, no way? All right? Well, all right,

442
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: we're preaching kind of patience, but it's it's hard to

443
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: be patient. And I'll I'll let everyone in and in

444
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: on this because Bird Gang, you're not the only fan

445
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: base that is a little concerned right now about what

446
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals look like on paper. I found this tweet amusing,

447
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: if you will. Bob Condata covers the Seahawks for the

448
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: Seattle Times tweets on Tuesday. Quote, with the free agent

449
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: signing period now more than a week old, it's still

450
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: hard to figure out what the Seahawks are doing at

451
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: offensive tackle end of tweet, And then there was a

452
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: story attached to it. Cardinal fans, you can make the

453
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: same question about the Cardinals with respect to edge rusher,

454
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: maybe even cornerback, and certainly a number two wide receiver.

455
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: Bottom line, you're not on an island. There are several teams,

456
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: a handful of teams. If you will that still have

457
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: big questions at big positions that need to be addressed,

458
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: and for my sake, preferably before the draft, because you

459
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: cannot answer these questions in my opinion, as far as

460
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: finding starters at edge rusher, cornerback, and wide receiver and

461
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: the draft, those are questions for me, MJ. That have

462
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: to be answered prior to the Cardinals being on the

463
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: clock at pick number twenty three. Okay, I'm going to

464
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: go back to last year's wide receiver class because I

465
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: think you know, I read a story today that Belichick

466
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: was looking for a number one wide receiver obviously help

467
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: Max show Mac Jones out, but he's leary about overspending,

468
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: which I think every team is, including the Cardinals. So

469
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: last year Kenny first of all eleven teams acquired free

470
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers on deal's averaging at least five million per year.

471
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: Last offseason, none of the eleven receivers signed it on

472
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: pace for one thousand yards despite adding a seventeenth game.

473
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: AJ Green had the most yards among them, eight hundred

474
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: and twenty five. Kenny Galladay, he made eighteen million a year.

475
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: He caught thirty four passes. Corey Davis made twelve million

476
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: a year. He caught thirty four passes. Chris Curtis, Samuel

477
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: who was injured, he made eleven five He caught six passes.

478
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Nelson Aguilar eleven million, thirty six passes. Will Fuller he

479
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: made ten six four catches. I mean, that's why teams deleary.

480
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: But then when you get a guy like Davante Adams

481
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: and Tyree Hill, you're gonna have to give up picks.

482
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: That's where it's at. And they have extensive resumes. And

483
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: these guys were unrestricted free agents, the ones I just mentioned.

484
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: And look you we talked about the number of wide

485
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: receivers that are still on the market, Jarvis Andrey, will Fuller,

486
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Marquees Baldi, Is Scandling, Jamison Crowder. I believe

487
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: he's now off the market. I can't remember off the

488
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: top of my head, but I believe I saw him

489
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: resign with somebody, Emmanuel Sanders, Sammy walk In. So there

490
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: are guys out there, but at what costs and at

491
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: what costs do they think they're worth, whether it's a

492
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: one or two year deal, especially with a position to

493
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: need with respect to the Cardinals. So I'm fascinating to

494
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: know at the end, like we all, I always say,

495
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: the journey is more fun than the destination. But I'm

496
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: getting to the point now where I want to know

497
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: where this finishes, what this roster looks like, because right

498
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 1: now there are enough holes in this roster that I've

499
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: got big concerns about the Arizona Cardinals, even though I

500
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: said they are still the second best team in the division. Well,

501
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo is saying, Jamison Crowder, all right, thank you. I

502
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: appreciate that they also had Duke Johnson. I mean, Brandon

503
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: Beam's going all in, all in because they know that

504
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: they got to deal with the AFC West and they're

505
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna in the Ravens. The Ravens are bringing in a

506
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: couple of pass rushers today. My guy is still out there,

507
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: Art and Key. I wonder what he's asking for, it's

508
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: like at this point in time, but he's still out there.

509
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: Only twenty six too, I know, and he played for

510
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders and he had six and a half sacks

511
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, obviously he's not going to get

512
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: the pub when it comes to their defense, Bosa and

513
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But you know, I don't know this

514
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: for sure, but I'm wondering come June first, the Cardinals

515
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: are gonna have a lot more money. Correct where um

516
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: Phillips comes off, Well, it's just the June first designation.

517
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: It's I think they're able to spread it out. But

518
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: right now you have to carry that on the contract, correct,

519
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 1: then it goes away, So they'll they should have some

520
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: more money after June first, and there could be I mean,

521
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: the problem is the market's gonna it's going to dry up,

522
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: but then you have your draft and then you could

523
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: fill your holes. But I'll double check on that, but

524
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: I do think some money could free up. And one

525
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: thing we also have to talk about. We always talk

526
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray. I mean, if I'm the Cardinals and

527
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 1: Steve Kaine mentioned this, or maybe it was Cliff at

528
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: the combine, I'm definitely extending Jalen Thompson and I can

529
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: do this during the season. I know Byron Murphy was

530
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: the second round pick. I want to see more, but

531
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: I could see he's part of the future. Zach Allen.

532
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are going to be free agents

533
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: next year. They've been in the league four years now,

534
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: and we've seen in training camp those extensions. I e.

535
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker come out around training camp when you kind

536
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: of have a little bit of a moment to all right, now,

537
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: we're looking ahead at our own guys, locking those young

538
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: players up so they don't hit the market, right because

539
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: you know somebody will pay zach out. I would never

540
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: let Jayleen Thompson hit the market. I'm not putting a

541
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: tag on him, but I'm not letting hit in the market.

542
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: So and those guys, you can go to them and say, hey, listen,

543
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: you're a starter, you like being here, We're gonna pay you,

544
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: and you give you give him mark the market rates

545
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: you're not like for a hometown discount. But then all

546
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: of a so when free agency comes up next year,

547
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: you've already retained you guys that would have been unrestricted

548
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: free agents and at market value, and say August September

549
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: might be different than market rates in March, right, because

550
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: what we're seeing right now exactly and it's again, it's

551
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: it's head spinning stuff. And we're still in the month

552
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: of March. Here on Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday,

00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: the mix and Nick Vigil. I want to let Cardinal fans, no,

557
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: specifically in the Lake have Asu area, those Cardinal fans

Speaker 1: Golden is headed to your town on Friday. This coming Friday,

Speaker 1: places around the States as a way to say thank

562
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: you community engagement, fan engagement. Cardinals have done this a

563
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: number of years, haven't been able to do it the

564
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: past couple of offseasons, but you can go to asy

565
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot com slash Caravans for more information. But Marcus

566
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: Golden on Friday headed to Lake Havesu for meat and

567
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: great and if you want to talk about players, that's

568
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: bleed Cardinal Red. Marcus Golden, despite the fact that this

569
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: is his second stint on the team, he's made no

570
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: secret MJ about his love of the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah,

571
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: I can tell you that the first couple of guys,

572
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: they're fan favorites, they love giving back to the community,

573
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: and they'll be Dennis Gardick and Marcus Golden and will

574
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: continue to let you know if they're coming to a

575
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: proximity close to you. Another Cardinals player that is is ecstatic.

576
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: And that's not a word that I use a lot,

577
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: but just his excitements in his voice and addressing the

578
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: media earlier this week, Colt McCoy wanted to be back

579
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: here in Arizona. Likes being a part of the Arizona Cardinals,

580
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: likes Cliff Kingsbury, likes the offense, his family likes Arizona.

581
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: He used the word grateful, thankful, and then a couple

582
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: of times added this MJ fired up to be back

583
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: and what this team is headed towards as far as

584
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and signed for twenty twenty three. Yeah,

585
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's I think if people have listened to

586
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: the show, we know how valuable he is. And he's

587
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: very honest. You know, he's he talks to Kyler. He

588
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have any concerns. Kyler is working out in Texas.

589
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: He's working out, that's what he normally does and hopefully

590
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: he'll be here so there's not going to be any

591
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: issues there, but just another year within the system. You

592
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: know him, he said, he thinks like Cliff when it

593
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: comes to the offense and that can only help Kyler

594
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: Murray in the future. But you know, if need be,

595
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: he's a guy then come in and playing a pinch,

596
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: and I think he showed that last year, so I'm

597
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: excited for him that he gives a two year contract

598
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: two and one as a starter. And you remember a

599
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: year ago, at this time, I was adamant that this

600
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: team needed to bring in a veteran quarterback, a backup

601
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: who had experience. I had a bunch of names, no

602
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: specific name atop that list, but this team needed a

603
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Cult McCoy or someone like Cult McCoy to come in

604
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: and be that second voice, that extra voice next to

605
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. And then also if needed, and hopefully we

606
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: don't see Colt McCoy ever again on the football field

607
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: in a game, but if needed two games, three games,

608
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: four games, anything more than a month worth of action,

609
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's like, all right, you

610
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: know you've lost your starting quarterback. It might be start

611
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: time to think about next season. But small sample size,

612
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: and we got a small sample size from Colte McCoy

613
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: last season, and I think it was imperative that he'd

614
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: be brought back. Whether that was now, or you waited

615
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: until you know later in April or at the end

616
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 1: of the draft. But Colton McCoy needed to be back

617
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: on this football team in twenty twenty two. And listen,

618
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is the franchise quarterback. You know, he's one

619
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: of the top quarterbacks in the league. You can make

620
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: make the case maybe he's in the top eight or ten.

621
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: But I think this offense can still hume with Colte

622
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: McCoy if if Kyler gets hurt and he's out again,

623
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: it's more about the players around him. You know, he

624
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: doesn't make a ton of mistakes. Now again, I'm not

625
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: saying I want him in there. I'm just saying he can't.

626
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 1: He doesn't make the same throws that Kyler Murray can make.

627
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: He's not as dynamic as Kyler Murray. But the offense

628
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: is predicated on air raid concepts, but winning at the

629
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So, yeah, you may not score thirty

630
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: points a game. He may have four hundred yards, but

631
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: I think he's capable of running this offense. I really do. Now,

632
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: I don't want that to happen, but I say that

633
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: the season's over. Yeah, you could say that anytime a

634
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: starting quarterback goes down, but we've seen teams recover when

635
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: you got talent around them. The big difference between Kyle

636
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: the Murray and Colt McCoy is the off schedule throws

637
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: off schedule place, or what happens when the pocket breaks down.

638
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: Kyle the Murray can buy your time, make something happen.

639
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy not that type of quarterback. More of a

640
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: traditional in the pocket if needed though you little sneaky quickness,

641
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: elusive agility. But he is not going to be that

642
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: guy that I e against the Rams in Los Angeles

643
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: on what third and seventeen scrambles and runs for eighteen

644
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: yards to keep the drive going. That's not Coult McCoy.

645
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: But he's also not going to be the guy that's

646
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: gonna be pressured in the end zone and throw a

647
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: pick six. True field awareness, game awareness, because he's been

648
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: in those situations. Kyle to be the starting quarterbacks for

649
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: all seventeen, but I'm saying, if something happened, I feel

650
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: comfortable because of the talent. Now they got to get

651
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: another receiver. You know, obviously we talked about twelfth personnel,

652
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: We talked about the running game. So a lot of

653
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: It's a lot that goes into it, but obviously Kyler

654
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: gives them the best chance to win. I want to

655
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: make that very clear. COOLEE. McCoy asked a lot of

656
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: different questions about Kyler Murray, but this I thought was

657
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: that what stood out to me Bird Gang as far

658
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: as Colee McCoy's assessments of Kyler Murray said, Murray's quote

659
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: arrow is pointing up, and then he added this, I

660
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: know how hard it was for me my first three

661
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: years in the NFL to handle all the things that

662
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: come with being a franchise quarterback and being in the NFL,

663
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: and I think Kyler has handled it tremendously end quote.

664
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: Now we can debate a little bit of that with

665
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: what's happened in this offseason, but there is a lot

666
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: on someone's shoulders when you are a franchise quarterback, regardless

667
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: of when you are handed those keys. But sometimes we

668
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: forget that Kyle Murray was handed those those keys immediately

669
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: after he was announced as the selection by Commissioner Roger Goodell,

670
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: and it might might have been a little bit too

671
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: much for him. I mean as far as not talent wise,

672
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: but everything else that comes with it. Yeah, I always

673
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: use the reference point or that. As soon as he

674
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: touched down at the tarmac and got off the plane,

675
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: they handed the keys to the car from him to

676
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: the franchise. And you know, he was on Michael's plane.

677
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: And like I said, he didn't have the benefit of sitting.

678
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you drafted first overall. Well, Baker Mayfield didn't

679
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: start from week one, Josh Allen didn't start from week one.

680
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes set for the first fifteen games. You got

681
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 1: a chance to play in the last game with Alex Smith.

682
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: So and I don't I don't think people put that

683
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: in consideration where yeah, they won five games, and they

684
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: won eight games, and now they won eleven games. So

685
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: it's it can't be easy. And I know he's human,

686
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: he loved football. He says he doesn't feel the pressure.

687
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: How do you not wake up every day and go like, oh,

688
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: I have to be the guy that I'm I'm like

689
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: the engine here. You know, we got good tires and

690
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: we got a nice car, but I'm the engine. I

691
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: got to drive the steering wheel here. So but that's

692
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: that's what he signed up for. I mean, and he

693
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: I don't think the moment's too big for him. Yeah,

694
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,959
Speaker 1: but you could argue that perhaps it was in the playoffs, yes,

695
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: because I don't know if he was one hundred percent healthy.

696
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: But after that second Rams game, they got into his head.

697
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: It's no doubt in my mind. And you start looking back,

698
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: he looked rattled. You look at the film, and then

699
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you realize you're playing the Rams

700
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: again in the playoffs on the road, and maybe you

701
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: start flashing back to that earlier meeting in which what

702
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: was it the first snap, All of a sudden, Max

703
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: Garcia is on his heels, Aaron Donald's and Kyle the

704
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: Murray's face and basically the tone was set. And I

705
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: don't think Kyle Murray was able to get out of

706
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: his own way at that point. I think the Monday

707
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: night game that's where it started. I really do cannot

708
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: discount the talent. Now, it's being able to wrap your

709
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: arms around that talent and be good, consistent, not only

710
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: on the field but off the field. Because Week four,

711
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they dominated the Rams, didn't They won't. You

712
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: could see they didn't even want to tackle anymore. They

713
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: were they pushed the reset. We're gonna move on to

714
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: next week. Now when they come here, they treated like

715
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: a playoff game. I wish, I wish the Cardinals would

716
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: have done that, because the Cardinals knew they win that game.

717
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: They didn't clinch anything, but you basically put the Rams

718
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: in the rearview mirror and you, for all intensive purposes,

719
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: had that division wrapped up. Keep in mind the month

720
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: of November, the Rams were all in three, so they

721
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: were reeling a little bit and they were that's when

722
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: to overcome. That's when Stafford had interceptions. Still waiting for

723
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: that Matthew Stafford interception in the playoffs that we talked

724
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: about all week long. You know he's gonna throw you

725
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: a couple. Yeah, that didn't realize. Maybe maybe we use

726
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: that too much because that's more Jimmy Garoppolo Cardinals Covered

727
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: two presented by Day probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals.

728
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of interceptions and Cardinals quarterbacks, if you want to

729
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: know about Nick Vigil, maybe we need to ask Kyler Murray.

730
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: A subtle move by the Arizona Cardinals this week, not

731
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: a major move, not a splash move, but a depth move.

732
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: Nick Vigil, twenty eight year old inside linebacker, will be

733
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 1: twenty nine when the season begins. Former third round pick

734
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: of the Bengals. Last season with the Vikings sixteen games,

735
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: twelve starts, and in Week two had to pick six

736
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: picked off Kyle the Murray and the third quarter Murray

737
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: never saw him looking for Rondel Moore in the flat.

738
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: And then there was Nick Vigil taking it to the

739
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: house for his first and only touchdown in the National

740
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: Football League. And now now Nick Vigil and Kyler Murray

741
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: can reminisce on the practice field just behind you here,

742
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: m J. Yeah, he made a great play. Oh, it's

743
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: a fantastic play. And yeah, I mean considering you know,

744
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: we've seen Cardinal Stansby and you know Jordan Hicks. It's

745
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: the balls coming at you and they're not easy. No,

746
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: it looks easy, it's not easy. But I mean the

747
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: way he had to Torque's body was able to get

748
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: that ball. And I'll say this, I mean he had

749
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: some wheels going down the sidelines. He's twenty seven. You

750
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday on the twenty eight, twenty nine when the

751
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: Sea so twenty nine. Nothing against Jordan Hicks, but he

752
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: had some wheels there. So you know, obviously it's all

753
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: going to rely on and Xavin Collins and Isaiah Simmons,

754
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: but you do need some depth and there'll be times

755
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: he gets an opportunity, and I'm sure he's going to

756
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: be a really good special teams player. He's played in

757
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: eighty two games, fifty one starts. He was in Cincinnati

758
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: two years ago the Cardinals played the Bengals on the road.

759
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: He had thirteen tackles in that game against the Cardinals.

760
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: So a productive player, but not a starter. Let me

761
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: respeat that he is not a starter. Put it this way,

762
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: he best not be starting week one. He was brought

763
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: in to provide some veteran help at insidelnebackers. Avin Collins

764
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: Asimmons are your two starters. But now I do think

765
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: at inside linebacker you're done and no more moves need

766
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 1: to be made. If they got five there right now,

767
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: you got Valleja Walker, Ezekiel Turner who's back in the

768
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: fold again more of a special teams player. But there's

769
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: enough depth at inside linebacker to where you should be

770
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: okay going into this upcoming season, barring you know, a

771
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: series of injuries or anything like that. But Nick Vigil

772
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 1: just the second new face. Jeff Gladney, another former Minnesota

773
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: Viking in the other new face. So the Cardinals, again,

774
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: it's been very very quiet when it comes to outside

775
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: free agents. They've made a priority as far as retaining

776
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: their own unrestricted free agents. But Nick Vigil in the

777
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: building and an Arizona Cardinal. Interesting that, and Darren Urban

778
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: mentioned this on his story up on easy Cardinals dot com.

779
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: Vigil is Hicks's replacement, and Hicks signed with the Vikings

780
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: last week, replacing Vigils. So it's basically a swap of

781
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 1: inside linebackers, Cardinals getting a little younger at the position.

782
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: But what you're losing Hicks is that knowledge of what

783
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: Banch Joseph wants to do. Well, I understand that. But

784
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: Hicks was a starter, right yeah, and I'll might be

785
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: a starter in Minnesota too. No, I'm saying Hicks was

786
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: a starter here. Oh yet just saying that he's hicks replacement, well,

787
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: I think just maybe as far as depth chart, depth chart,

788
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: as far as where you will not even depth chart,

789
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: because your point is that Hicks was a starter, but

790
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: not as a starter as far as being that veteran

791
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: in that inside linebackers room, because you couldn't feel comfortable

792
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: with just falle hill Walker and Turner. You needed someone

793
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: else who had some player experience, Well, I know they

794
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: trust Falle hill more ice Zeke Turner really is more

795
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: of a special teams player. He adds depth. Now Vigil

796
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: he'll play weak side linebacker. Zay will be the mic linebacker,

797
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: Isaiah will be the Sam and Nickel and he can

798
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: also be the weak side inside linebackers. So that's their

799
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: role weak side for Vigil, Mike for saying for Zave.

800
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: And so that's how it's gonna look. And you could

801
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: see all three of them on the field at the

802
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: same time. That's where I was going. But now and

803
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: and we say starting, and I've always maintained you start

804
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: the first snap of the ball game, and if you

805
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: don't play the rest of the game, you're credited with

806
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: starting snap counts. Pay attention to how often and when

807
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: Collins is on the field versus Vigil versus Simmons, because

808
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, if he's on the field more talking about

809
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: Nick Vigil and that's that's a concern when you've got

810
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: two stud inside linebackers as far as skill set, and

811
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: if they can't get on the football field, then now

812
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: we've got another discussion. Next offseason. Yeah, so, but I

813
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: think you know, instead of Isaiah and you had to correctly,

814
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus had him playing five different position I

815
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: think based on would if you connect the dots, Isaiah

816
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: would be Sam Nicol and then Nicol a week site

817
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: and inside linebackers. So that's three positions versus five. And

818
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: I believe what after his first year, they were training

819
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: to him at more than five positions. So we've seen

820
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: that number of positions and maybe meetings that he's attending

821
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: dropped down. But yeah, he's played a little inside, i'll outside,

822
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: some corner free safety and you might see some of that,

823
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 1: but I hope not as much. I hope he's more

824
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: near the line of scrimmage and showing his skill set

825
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: as far as being able to run laterally north south

826
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,479
Speaker 1: and you know, get to the ball carrier, even rushed

827
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: the passer if needed. Yeah, I wonder, you know, I

828
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: know they played tutor from positions, but is he going

829
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: to be And we know Kennard has done a good

830
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: job set in the edge, even though he did have

831
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: a hand in that Penny out run. It happens. I mean,

832
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: ten guys are doing the right job, and obviously that

833
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: didn't work out. But I wonder when I look at

834
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: Canard and Visual like what sir snap counts. Because both

835
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: of those guys are backups at those positions and they

836
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 1: both play well, I know they're gonna have to play

837
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: on teams. Yeah, you need depth, and that's first and foremost.

838
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: But people don't like to talk a lot about the depth.

839
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: It's all about the daughters well and the big names

840
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: and the high price names. But this is this was

841
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: a depth move talking about Nick Vigil, no doubt, And

842
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: I think it showed last year. You and I liked

843
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: the roster going in. Obviously, when you're down to your

844
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: third string center or Sean Harlowe and you're down to

845
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, Max Garcia, I think I think they got

846
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: exposed a little bit when it came to depth. And

847
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: that's what Steve wanted to do. Retain your own players.

848
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: You know, they can go too deep at every single position. Now,

849
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: obviously we want another receiver, you know, in another corner.

850
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,439
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if they taken get another back

851
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: in here Um Tighten in his set obviously Lineman at

852
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: Pies Prusher. But that was the idea to go be

853
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: able to go too deep at every single position, and

854
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 1: dogbe don Scar Deck, Jonathan Ward. You look at um,

855
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: which is Wesley's more of a four or five. So

856
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: that was the idea. That's why they haven't been so

857
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: active in free agency. They wanted to keep this group together,

858
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: but obviously you gotta get better in certain positions. Ed

859
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: Rusher still for me is the big question mark, exclamation

860
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: point that needs to be addressed, and who knows, burg Gang.

861
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,959
Speaker 1: Maybe it does get addressed prior to the next time.

862
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: That's we here discuss things. But good talk, MJ. I

863
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of more league wide, but hey,

864
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: when it fits or concerns the Aros and the Cardinals,

865
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about Tyreek Hill, don't have to

866
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: worry about Matt Ryan. So you know what, just all

867
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: the talent go to the AFC. I'll be just fine

868
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: with that. I'm with you now. I'm just looking at this.

869
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: You ready for this? Teams without a first round pick Bears, Browncles, Browns, Dolphins, Colts,

870
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: Raiders for nine Ers Rams. Wow, that list has grown

871
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: because of the number of trades that those teams have released. Smokes,

872
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 1: thank you Tampa, thank you Los Angeles. Who needs draft

873
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: picks exactly. Cardinals have eights. We'll see what they do.

874
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: And as we get closer to that draft, and as

875
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: we get into the month of April, we'll put the

876
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: hard hat on Mike Darek and he can do some

877
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: little do his top fifty prospect count ten as we

878
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: did a year ago at this time, as we kind

879
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: of focus a little bit more once we get closer

880
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: to the month of April about what the Cardinals need

881
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: to do with their eight picks in twenty twenty two,

882
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: and it'll be vastly improved from a standpoint of I

883
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: didn't have the numbers like last year. Like when we

884
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: talk about like wide receivers, how many times you line

885
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: up in his slot? Is he an inside guy outside?

886
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: I can look at the size and say he's a

887
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: slot guy. And then when it comes to like you know,

888
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: like Josh Jones played left tackle, sometimes guys can play

889
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: right tackle and then sometimes you can slide into the guard.

890
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: So it's good to know because the Iowa center center

891
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: he man. I talked to someone recently and they said,

892
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: I said, could he play guard? And he said, no,

893
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: he's a center. Um. But we'll be able to get

894
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: a little more detail about just some of the and

895
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: we'll really focus on when we get to certain names,

896
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: how the affect the Cardinals and possibly be an option.

897
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: Talking about Tyler linderbaum oh Man out of Iowa, who

898
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: is wowing a lot of people with him, I thought,

899
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, if you're Pittsburgh, I thought maybe he'd get

900
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: to twenty. But now you're starting to see him like

901
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: high teens. And you know, Quentin Nelson was a guard,

902
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: but you get a center for the next ten or

903
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: twelve years. You're set. Look forward to the discussion on

904
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: the drafts once we hit the month of April. And

905
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: on that note, we will put a lid on. This
