Unleash the far So. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:04.880 I ran into an assistant coach today of the Arizona Cardinals, 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:09.480 Ron Wolfley sighted the packers situation right now, they're situation, 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.920 and I said, you know what, how about your takeaway 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.440 on Green Bay? And he he paused, And you know what, 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.440 these assistant coaches and you're about twenty four hours from kickoff, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.360 you never quite know what sort of mood or mindset 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.840 they're in and I braced as he paused, and he said, 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.360 and I quote loosely, that I coached in that division 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.320 for a number of years and I don't care who 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.160 they have on the field as long as they have 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:41.880 number twelve. Lookout, yep. And I'll tell you what. You know, 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.120 here's the thing. As much as Aaron Rodgers might think 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.840 he owns the Chicago Bears, and having one, what now, 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.440 twenty three of the last twenty eight against the Chicago Bears, 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.120 he can shout it out and you know what he 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.720 told them, Yeah, I own you. I still own you. 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.880 And then he you know, he made the way emphatically, Baul, Yes, 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:08.040 he did. Well. Do the Arizona Cardinals not own Aaron 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.799 Rodgers at State Farm Stadium in games that matter? True 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.360 or false? Um? Yeah, Paul, I think we'd have to 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.800 say true on that one right there, although there there 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.240 have been some great games over at State Farm Stadium 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:24.200 that included Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in fact, in fact, 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.000 if you're wondering about the absence of Davante Adams and 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.520 Alan Lazard and who he's gonna have, you know, Marcus 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.799 Valdis Scaldine and all this and just remember what he 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.760 did for the career of Jeff Janis. Remember what he 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.240 turned Jeff Janis into the last time we saw him 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.520 in a game that mattered, the twenty fifteen epic playoff 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.680 game that went over time. What's your point, though, Paul, 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.000 The point is that the coach is right. He's absolutely right. 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.360 As long as you have Aaron Rodgers, doesn't matter if 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.720 you've never heard of any of the other guys, You're 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.560 gonna get a game, and you're getting an epic game. 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.720 In fact, the best combined win percentage for a Thursday 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.600 night game this late in the Sea season. Ever, Ron 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.440 will if we the seven and oh Arizona Cardinals trying 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.240 for the best start in team history, if they're going 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.280 to prove to eight no, a team that goes back 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.639 to eighteen ninety eight against the Green Bay Packers tomorrow night, 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.160 the roof is going to be open, so you know 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.160 what the game plan, open up a can. Yeah, Paully, 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.960 no doubt about it. This is gonna be a good game. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.320 I really do believe that. I'm feeling I'm very very 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.519 confident the Arizona Cardinals are going to win the game. 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.120 I really am in Paul I'm just telling you right now, 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.160 I'm not making a prediction or anything else. I'm looking 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.160 at some cold, hard facts in front of me right now. Yes, 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.240 Aaron Rodgers has no doubt about it. He still has 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.920 Randall Cobb to throw the ball. He still has his 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.640 tight end Robert tunyin right to throw the ball too. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.240 He still has Aaron Jones, the leading receiver that is 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.720 left right now, when you take away Davante Adams, he 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.440 still has Aaron Jones to not only throw the ball, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.200 but hand the ball off to. Obviously, I think the 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:00.880 Packers are going to come out. I think they're going 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.280 to give the Arizona Cardinals everything they got. I just 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:09.040 don't think, Paul, it's enough. I don't interesting. Interesting. Okay, Well, 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.080 you were the interview after the win against Houston with 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.000 Isaiah Simmons and I started asking him about this matchup 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.360 on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers, 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.520 and he literally cut me off mid question, probably because 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.039 I was long winded. I deserved it, and he said 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.920 the words were juiced, and then he repeated it were juiced. 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.520 So you figured the Cardinals are going to come out 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.760 as such, unlike how they came out against Houston. And 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.359 that was the question to Kyler Murray this week on 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.120 that slow start where after one quarter you trailed to 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.599 nothing against the Texans. No, I wasn't too concerned. It 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.400 was I don't know why, you know, maybe came out 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.479 of the lex You know, I can't really speak on it. 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.800 I just know got to be better, you know, faster, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.800 because get beat. You know, if you if you come 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.680 out too slow, sometimes you may not be able to 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.360 catch up. So for the most well offensively, I think 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.800 you know we can you love better. Christian Kirk said 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.800 the same thing this week to the media that you 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.200 know and yeah, maybe the intensity, the urgency wasn't quite there, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.159 the energy out of the gate. I don't think that's 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.880 gonna be a problem tomorrow night in primetime. No, I 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.640 think you're right on that. Polly. By the way, you 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.280 know you do NFL research from time to time, isn't 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.200 that right, Paul? You did, and from time to time. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.360 Of course I'm being set up. Let me just tell 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.800 you right now, Polly, I did a little NFL research myself. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.479 Can this is a big FLA Kyler Murray is the 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.960 fourth quarterback since the nineteen seventy merger to start and 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.479 win each of his team's first seven games of a 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.240 season and have a seventy plus completion percentage over the 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.320 course of those seven games. The fourth ever, So the 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:48.400 fourth Paul as super Bowl? About that? Okay? Since nineteen seventy, 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.359 since the merger of each of these previous quarterbacks. You 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:55.240 want to guess who the three were before him, Paul, Well, 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.719 I'm just gonna tell you, Tom Brady, Paul Peyton Manning 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.279 and Aaron Rodgers. Hello, there's a lot of MVP awards 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.560 between those three guys. You've got to be kidding me 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.200 right now. Kyler Murray is doing something right now that 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.760 those three quarterbacks did at is big time. The fact 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.280 that Wolf is that prepped up. I mean, you did 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.320 defy the doubters. Wolf. You were ready to go for 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.440 the Thursday night broadcast. A lot of people didn't think 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.800 you could do it on a short week. Obviously, the 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.839 research is already there. That Hey is in the barn 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.800 the Arizona Cardinals. I hope he is prepared as you 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.320 probably are You ready for something else about Kyler Murray. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.920 You're the one that played the Kyler Murray cut right there, 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.280 right you were playing Kyler Murray. How about this, Paul, 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.960 this is a next gen stat. Here's the next gen 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.240 stat of the game from last week. Who they played 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.440 last week? Bally, Well, if you've been out like three 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.440 days with COVID, is that how you were able to 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.240 do all this research, you get all this features, you've 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.000 got a prop when your carry they played the Texas, 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:59.320 of course, Polly Sunday was Kyler Murray's first career game 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:04.359 and which he threw three touchdown passes off of play 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:10.440 action fakes. Oh, Paul, lady, well, we tell you right 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.640 now that might be a little foreshadowing as to what 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.040 we may talk about when the Arizona Cardinals have the ball. Paul, 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.960 there are two players that the Arizona Cardinals and only 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.920 two players they cannot afford to lose. So for everyone 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.920 who's not there and who's coming and look, the good 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.240 news is Chandler Jones is coming back. We'll get into that. 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.160 Zach Allen is coming back. That's part of the news 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.320 of the week. We'll see about Corey Peters. You know, 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.560 he was declared out on game day in Cleveland. Maybe 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.200 he'll show up on game day tomorrow night against Green Bay. 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.160 I don't know, but the two players you can't afford 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.760 to lose in this game, in particular obviously Kyler Murray, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.400 your quarterback number two would be Jordan Hicks because it's 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.680 Jordan Hicks against Aaron Rodgers. Oh boy, every time Green 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.280 Bay has the ball. And look, we've talked about it 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.800 for a couple of weeks now on this show. Well, 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.640 if you can take the powers in the NFC, and 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.880 what separates them is the Cardinals defense, which right now 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.040 is the number one scoring defense in the NFL, and 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.920 the national media types who were in town right now. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.000 Although Steve Weisch is always on it, we've had him 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.640 on The Big Red Rage before, but there are other 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.360 network types who are here and there's gonna be a 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.640 lot of buzz and they're sort of learning about the Cardinals. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.200 Maybe throw us Moses and maybe a delayed reaction to 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.320 some of what the Cardinals have been doing. Here's what 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.400 stands out to Steve White about the Cardinals and their 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.840 balance after what this defense continues to do, this might 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.920 be the most balanced team in the NFL record aside 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.080 the way that they are playing, and then adding a 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.120 piece like Urge to it. I think this Arizona team 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.480 is built for the long haul because the offensive weapons, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.880 the schemes and Advanced Joseph and that defense is doing 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.079 and people better start talking about Marcus Gold and the 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.160 other outside linebacker edge rusher. He is getting it done 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.719 for defense is loaded with talent. Well, second straight game 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.600 they pitched to shut out in the second half. Here's 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.440 the thing Wolf, Okay, Dalvin Cook. We remember what Dalvin 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.880 Cook did against Arizona Cardinals. In particular, he had seven 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.400 runs of ten yards. Are more those two words that 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.600 really equate to a four letter word in the Cardinals 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:09.600 defensive meeting rooms gap integrity. Now, when you look at 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.560 this team, Vance Joseph the first person he brought up 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.439 when talking about Aaron Jones in the run game, Dalvin Cook. 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.160 That sort of back who can hit the whole in 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.600 an instant, just a micro blurer. He's slippery, he gets 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.200 to that second level. He's a cutback runner, he's not 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.080 a power runner. And listening to Vance Joseph this week, 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.079 those are the kind of running backs that give the 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:34.120 Cardinals defense more poems than any And I wonder, I wonder, okay, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.880 how equipped are the Cardinals with their gap integrity? How improved, 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.240 are they versus Week two because that was a problem 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.720 Dalvin Cook. Yeah, there's no doubt about it, Paulie. But 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.000 at the same time, you know, it's amazing because the 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.400 Arizona Cardinals, the one weakness I see from top to 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.760 bottom is their rush defense from time to time. Speaking 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.240 of that Minnesota game with Dalvin Cook, that first half 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.000 was absolutely brutal to watch, and we've seen it from 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.880 time to time. Is oh, where that box just is 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:06.040 not stuffing the run. It's just not doing it, unless, 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.280 of course, you're the Tennessee Titans in the Cleveland Browns, 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.360 which happened to be two of the best teams running 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.800 the football in the football universe, and they shut those 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.880 two teams down. Listen, here's the great thing about this 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.360 so far, the best trend going forward collectively for the 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.880 Arizona Cardinals is the fact that their offense has always 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.680 been super Bowl caliber. Would you agree with that, Bob, 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.400 totally agree that we always knew they were going to 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.800 be super Bowl caliber because of the talent that is 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.960 on that offense right there. But what makes them a 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:44.080 super Bowl contender in my opinion, is their defense and 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.720 how well that defense is playing that's what makes them 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.240 a contender. Well, one of the leading tacklers on that defense, 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.840 and some of his play has been breathtaking Isaiah Simmons, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.560 And we talked to him after the win against the 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:02.000 Houston Texans. He cited defensive coordinator, these calls that he's 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.319 given us. He's putting us in phenomenal position, you know, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.280 allowing our playmakers to flourish and make the plays that 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.280 they should be making. And you know that that's just great, 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.200 just being able to let different players with different type 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.800 of skill sets shine in this defense. You see it 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.760 all over Vans. He's doing a great job. We gotta 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.079 give all. We gotta have to give our credits in 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.959 becoming one of my favorite players. I'm just telling you, right, well, 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.120 what were you going to say, You were going to 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.240 say something, Well, you know, on Isaiah Simmons, You're absolutely right. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.040 He will look you right in the eye. He will 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.640 answer your questions thoughtfully in a very intelligent manner. I mean, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.520 he's every bit as good an interview almost as he 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.440 is a player. But as far as vance Joseph goes, 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.040 remember what he told us on the game plan two 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.360 weeks ago when he filled in for Cliff Kingsbury, who 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.679 was on the COVID list right, remember what he said 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.240 about after the Cleveland game. You never would have known 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.360 the Cardinals won that game based on the reaction of 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.319 the defensive assistance and the way they went up players, 0:11:55.640 --> 0:12:00.920 the way they microscopically analyze the film. Then remember what 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.320 Cliff Kingsbury told us this week on his TV show 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.079 that he was a bear to deal with while I 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.520 was out with COVID because he was looking at the 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.520 practice film last week and he was unloading on the 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.240 assistant sound No, no, this is not what I want. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.280 And then to hear Jordan Hicks saying, you know what, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.160 we play to our standard and there's certain things that 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.560 might look good to you, not to us. We corrected 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.240 in the locker room. It's that accountability that you keep 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.920 hearing from both the coaches and the team leaders that 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.560 is such a remarkable difference from last year. There's no 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.800 doubt about it. Polly, did you get all your notes out? 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.880 Did you get your notes out right there? Paul, did 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.280 you get your statements out that you wanted to say? 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:41.160 I'm just telling you right now that this team the 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:46.160 best thing about it, this is no fluke This is 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.560 a team that has led by a bunch of veteran players. 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.680 The leadership that is going on inside of that locker room, 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:58.160 the accountability that is happening inside that locker room. It's 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.440 not only the talent that the Arizona Cardinals have ball, 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:06.640 it's the toughness by the way. Game plan airs six 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.880 thirty tonight on twelve News. And speaking of Cardinals content, 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.559 Episode five of Cardinals Folk Tales entitled The Coin that 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.360 Didn't Flip, premieres tonight seven o'clock on the Cardinals YouTube channel. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.400 That's YouTube dot com slash Acy Cardinals. That's a look 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.640 at the twenty fifteen NFL Divisional game against Aaron Rodgers 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.959 and the Packers. Also an original podcast, Wherever You Year 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:33.200 podcast debuts tonight. We continue with a big red rage 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.079 burst down on the forty seven dropped back the throat 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.920 lobs at parside parts with the catch to the thirty 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.439 clues of the twenty part side fifteen ten five putdown. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:50.720 Zach Ertz forty seven yards becomes the first player ever 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:57.640 to have touchdown catches in consecutive games for two different teams. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.760 The newest member of the Cardinals man just put this 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.760 one out of eight twenty three to five. Boy, that 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:08.319 is a big time explosive play by the newest member 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.600 of the Arizona Cardinals. Wow, Passion Wolf, They're all over 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.720 it Wolf, just with his mind bending stats to start 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.440 this edition of The Big Red Rage presented by santan 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.080 Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford and I didn't realize, 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:23.720 I guess in the excitement of the moment, all the 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.440 crowd noise, I didn't catch him. My headset down on 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.480 the sideline that Dave Pash in the moment nailed the 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.800 historic stat that came with that touchdown catch forty seven 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.320 yards by zach Ertz. How about that. You guys are 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.080 really on it. I mean, my goodness, okay, well done. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.160 You know our staff I think Bolli was on it 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.200 as well. Can I just tell you that right now. 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.960 It's good you guys were on it, whereas yours truly 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.000 was an epic fail. After the game. You know what 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.520 I failed to realize when I was interviewing zach Ertz 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.160 after the Cardinals win thirty one to five against Houston. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.640 By the way, an NFL game regular season game had 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.480 never ever finished with that score thirty one to five, 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.320 so a singular final score. Yeah, where did your fault again? Paul? 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.760 It was National tight End Day and I failed to 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.680 remember that in the moment. So Dave nailed it into 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.240 the moment you faced me off the top of this show, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.720 and now I I it reminds me of how I 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.800 failed with the National tight End Day. I should have 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.840 mentioned that I'm interviewing the Star tight end after the game. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.200 How do they have National tight End Day and they 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:23.320 don't have National Fullback Day? How well, obviously your fullback 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.840 club doesn't have the same lobbying power in Congress that 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.200 the tight end call. There is not even a tight 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.360 end club. What's your point? I don't you want to 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.040 be the guy to break that into zach Ertz because 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.280 there we were talking about how wide open he was 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.680 on that forty seven yard catcher run by the way 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:42.440 eight career long touchdown catch for the Cardinals brand new 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.760 tight end. Yeah. I don't think I've ever seen as 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.600 much green grass in the middle of the field as 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.160 I have today. You know, there's just so much talent 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.800 in the skull position. Players DeAndre Hopkins to AJ Green 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.400 are your outside guys. The defense has to account for 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.560 those guys each and every play. And so my job 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.080 is to just always just be in the middle of 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:00.600 the field and be where I'm supposed to be when 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.200 I'm supposed to be there. Mc Kayler's job easy. Three 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.320 touchdown passes to three different receivers and Ron Wolfley, you 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.240 tell me that's not going to change. The tight end 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.760 getting single coverage and more often than not finding a 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.080 lot more room to work than he probably ever did 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.920 with a group of Philadelphia receivers he was teammates win. Oh, 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.160 you're right about that, paul A. Mean, this is just 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.800 a matchup nightmare, and the National Football League right now 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:29.920 is really a matchup game. This is a defensive coordinator's nightmare. 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.200 There's no doubt about that. Because of these matchups right now, 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.160 and this to me, you know, we're talking about the 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.640 Cardinals and the Cardinals having the ball and what they 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.520 might do against that Green Bay Packers defense. Can I 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.440 just tell you right now, it starts with Joe Berry 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.080 and the fact that Joe Berry is not going to 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.640 be calling this game for the Green Bay Packers, the 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:55.040 defensive coordinator. That's right, he is on the COVID list. 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.680 He's been ruled out. Jerry Gray, who is the DB's 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.280 coach and has been a full or two time defensive 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.640 coordinator in the league with two other teams. He's going 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.679 to be the play caller. He'll share the duties with 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.200 another assistant coach. Not don't like what happened to the 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.880 Arizona Cardinals on the offensive side of the ball in Cleveland. 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.080 Here's the whole thing about it that makes it interesting 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.359 to me is just the in game adjustments that are made, 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.200 I mean offensively and defensively, Polly. They don't sit around 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:24.040 and wait for the second or for the second half 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.480 to actually come around. They don't wait for that anymore, Polly. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.520 They go out there and they're busting it out on 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.479 the sideline. This was something Bill Belichick did with us 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.000 when I went to Cleveland all the time. Sometimes you'd 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.080 be two series, two series into the game and I'd 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.160 hear him over there talking to the defense saying, Okay, listen, 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.239 everything we practice all week, we're not gonna do it. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:49.000 Here's what we're gonna do. You know. The adjustments, of course, 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:53.640 are so critical, these in game adjustments, and it's gonna 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:57.880 be a little convoluted without Joe Barry, no doubt, and Look, 0:17:58.320 --> 0:17:59.959 we talked a little bit of advanced Joseph the other 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.680 point I was gonna make, but maybe maybe you're telling 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.160 me I'm wrong, But it reminds me of Todd Bowles, 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.560 and Todd Bowles went from defensive coordinator the Arizona Cardinals 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.640 to the head coach and the New York Jets. What 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:14.280 was his calling card? What was this signature element? We 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.879 always is adjustments, and especially halftime adjustments. So when you 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:20.520 look at the last two weeks and there have been 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.400 shutouts pitched each of the last two weeks, I mean 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.959 something's happened in a halftime. Obviously there's a lot of yelling, 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:31.040 Paul that happens at halftime. Okay, So look, the national 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.399 media types and a lot of fans around the league 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.719 are going to see the Cardinals in primetime tomorrow night, 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.879 and they're gonna realize, a the Cardinals have the number 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.760 one scoring defense in the NFL. Hello, right, So they're 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.240 gonna learn about that. They're also going to learn that 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:49.119 the Cardinals have a stout rushing attack. Yes they're top 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.720 five in rushing. That they have run for two hundred 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.199 or more yards six times under Cliff Kingsbury and in 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.439 the fifteen years prior to Cliff Kingsbury, they had run 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:02.920 for two hundred or more yards six times. No air raid, yes, Polly, 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:06.840 no air raid whatsoever. Right, The pretty boy football is 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:12.199 ridiculously not accurate whatsoever. Listen the Cardinals. This is the 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.240 best thing about their offense, I think, and this is 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.080 something that the Green Bay Packers, I believe, are going 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.240 to learn. The Cardinals can beat you in a number 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.240 of different ways. I mean, Polly, if they want to 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.359 chuck it, they can chuck it. They'll throw it, Isn't 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.440 that right, Minnesota Bikekings. Think of the Vike gings right there, 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.840 thirty six attempts from Kyler Murray for three hundred and 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.720 seventeen yards. Let them up. If they need to beat 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.480 you by running the ball and bloodying your nose, that's 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.119 exactly what they can do. They'll run the ball. And 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.000 if you don't believe me, just ask Aaron Donald in 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:48.600 the Rams two hundred and sixteen yards rushing against the 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:53.520 Rams on forty carries. Paul, I mean you have James 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.399 Conner and Chase Edmonds combined. Those two guys had one 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.440 hundred and seventy yards rushing against Rams. And if they 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.640 need balance, Paullie. They need to run it and throw it. 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.120 They can do that as well. And if you don't 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:12.080 believe me, look at the Cleveland Browns statbox. Thirty seven 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.800 attempts rushing for one hundred and forty four yards, thirty 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.960 passing attempts for two hundred and eight yards. They can 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:23.080 beat you a number of different ways, Paul. And then 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:27.200 another thirty seven rushing attempts against Houston, thirty seven for 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.840 a buck seventy two four point six to carry, even 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:31.600 including the Neil downs and all that at the very 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:33.879 end of the game. Think about it from the first 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:38.240 preseason twenty nineteen and the Raiders defender accusing the Cardinals 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:42.080 of playing pretty boy football. Yeah right to now what 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:48.040 James Conner calls bullyball. It's been an evolution, and Kyler 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:52.200 Murray knows how important that run game and balance really is. 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.919 Kyler Nolan has been you know, they'd't been blocking their 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.400 ass off running backs. We've got two great backs right now, 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.520 And I mean it's just it's it's offense is so 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.199 much more versatile. When we can do that opens up 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.960 a lot more things. Obviously. I mean, like I said 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:07.800 it before, any in any level of football. If you 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.840 can run the ball, it'll be pretty good. So, um, 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.600 I think you know something. We gotta keep going. This 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.520
