Speaker 1: It's gonna be a show, and Ron will fleep. It
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that. Horsh unleash the far.
Speaker 1: We know one thing, maybe the only thing about this season.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be easy. It can't be. It's
Speaker 1: two thy twenty where nothing is easy. Ron Wolfley the
Speaker 1: Cardinals going to Carolina. We know what happened. We also
Speaker 1: know there's a second certainty right now and Larry for
Speaker 1: cheryld will answer the question a little bit later, is
Speaker 1: it or is it not? A must win? Going week
Speaker 1: five into the New York Jets. You don't have that
Speaker 1: cut ready, do you, Paul, You're not going to play
Speaker 1: that your answer a little bit later, We're gonna hear
Speaker 1: from Larry if you listen to me right now. I
Speaker 1: want to listen to you in your response yet consider
Speaker 1: of course, it's not a must win. It's not a
Speaker 1: must win. But I'm just saying answer. I know, and
Speaker 1: I understand that, But I think this is honestly the
Speaker 1: situation where if you're a player, you gotta believe you
Speaker 1: can win every game. I don't care what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: You have to believe that you can go out onto
Speaker 1: that field, no matter who you're playing, under what auspices,
Speaker 1: under one day, what kind of conditions, you gotta believe
Speaker 1: you can go out there and win a football game.
Speaker 1: And if you don't, you're you're really playing the wrong sport.
Speaker 1: You really are, You're in the wrong profession ball because
Speaker 1: you have to feel that way. Now again, do you
Speaker 1: have a lot of games left? You got eleven games
Speaker 1: after this game right here? Does it feel like the
Speaker 1: downside for the Arizona Cardinals if they lost this game
Speaker 1: would be massive? Yes? To answer your question, yes, and
Speaker 1: that will agree. Is there upside to winning this game? No,
Speaker 1: not a lot, because you're highly expected, no to win
Speaker 1: this game. But the downside, you're right, is steep. It
Speaker 1: is vast. It's the Grand Canyon of downsides. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about that. Which leads us to this question Wolf,
Speaker 1: because it seems incomprehensible that the Cardinals would go and
Speaker 1: fall to an own four jets team that is now
Speaker 1: miss and it's starting quarterback. But when you think about
Speaker 1: the fact that the Lions loss was supposed to be
Speaker 1: the wake up call, what do we now make of
Speaker 1: the loss at Carolina? Yeah? And how concerning is what?
Speaker 1: How fixable? How concerning is what you saw in those
Speaker 1: four quarters at Carolina? Well, that's a great thing about it, Paulli.
Speaker 1: I think it is fixable. First of all, it's kind
Speaker 1: of like your kids, Paul. You've got kids, right, of
Speaker 1: course you do, right, do you have some kids? And
Speaker 1: I've got kids as well, And sometimes you tell them
Speaker 1: you don't do this, don't do this, and what do
Speaker 1: they do? They do it? Right? They do it? And
Speaker 1: many times do you have to tell him twice? Paul?
Speaker 1: Sometimes do you have to tell him twice? Maybe? Even
Speaker 1: three times, yes you do before they actually get it.
Speaker 1: And I just think honestly that this team, with some
Speaker 1: of the young leaders that they have on this team,
Speaker 1: and there are guys like Kyler Murray who's developing as
Speaker 1: a quarterback, a franchise quarterback who's still developing his leadership skills,
Speaker 1: I do believe that they've got some leadership that probably
Speaker 1: are going to play up to their competition and down
Speaker 1: to their competition for a while. This is still a
Speaker 1: team that is figuring out who they are. They're a
Speaker 1: team in transition, as Dave Pash likes to say, and
Speaker 1: a team that, guess what the opposition has been transitioning.
Speaker 1: They've been seeing some different defensive schemes. Now the Cardinals
Speaker 1: have to counter. They have to CounterPunch what they've gotten
Speaker 1: in terms of game plans against them the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. So we'll see about that. And yes, as
Speaker 1: we've been saying for a while now, it's byoe, bring
Speaker 1: your own energy, And there's just something about going to
Speaker 1: New York in the Big Apple, even minus the fans.
Speaker 1: We know how Chase Edmunds excelled a year ago. You're
Speaker 1: just waiting to see who will be that guy who
Speaker 1: will have that big game in the Big Apple. Maybe
Speaker 1: it'll be Byron Murphy because he's our special guest. Tonight
Speaker 1: on the Big Red Rage All presented by santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert we Are, santan Ford snaffed the Bridgewater four
Speaker 1: man rush for Arizona. Bridgewater steps up, runs lap, fifteen
Speaker 1: cuts right, picks up the first down ten five touchdown
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater, Redgewater showing his athletic ability on third down
Speaker 1: and eight broke tackles and got into the end zone
Speaker 1: for the touchdown. At least we didn't typle well. The
Speaker 1: third downs for atrocious, and the red zones were even worse,
Speaker 1: you know, And that's that's a big issue for our defense.
Speaker 1: But any defense, if you're not playing well on third downs,
Speaker 1: which leads to more plays, which leads to more red
Speaker 1: zone steps, now you're bad in red zone, which leads
Speaker 1: to points. And what was really confounding for all of us,
Speaker 1: no one more so than the defensive coordinator Vance Joseph
Speaker 1: we heard from today and you heard right there on
Speaker 1: the Big Red Rage presented by santan Ford and Gilbert
Speaker 1: we Are santan Ford, is that the Arizona Cardinals defense
Speaker 1: came into the Carolina game in Week four number one
Speaker 1: in the NFL in third down defense, they came in
Speaker 1: number two and red zone defense, Ron Wolf, I don't
Speaker 1: have to tell you. And the final numbers were not
Speaker 1: kind seven of eleven on third down Carolina, you want
Speaker 1: to throw on fourth down conversions, they were eight out
Speaker 1: of twelve and in red zone four out of five. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So whether that had to do with the intensity or
Speaker 1: the failure to match their intensity, as Cliff Kingsbury said
Speaker 1: after the game, whether I do a scheme, I'm not
Speaker 1: exactly sure. I mean, in hindsight, Now, Wolf, how would
Speaker 1: you diagnose some of the issues on defense? Well, Polly,
Speaker 1: it's interesting because just not on defense. I can't just
Speaker 1: talk about defense. I have to talk about the entire
Speaker 1: state of the team being ready to play that game.
Speaker 1: I think, Polly, you were there. I would agree you
Speaker 1: were there. On the sideline or lack thereof, I would
Speaker 1: agree with that. It's myopic to actually start and say, well,
Speaker 1: the defense, what was the problem with the defense? It
Speaker 1: was the team in all three phases, if you ask me,
Speaker 1: it was the team that was not ready to play
Speaker 1: that game. And if you want to look to see
Speaker 1: if an offensive unit is ready to play. You go
Speaker 1: ahead and you look at the line of scrimmage, and
Speaker 1: you watch how the big guys come off the ball.
Speaker 1: You watch how they come off the ball if you
Speaker 1: want to watch how a defense plays and if they're
Speaker 1: redder to actually start a football game. You watched the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and you watched tackling, and oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: the tackling was horrific. In a word, at least a
Speaker 1: dozen miss tackles, you would say, yeah, at least listener.
Speaker 1: We counted more like fifteen sixteen somewhere in their ball. Well,
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty eight yards rushing for a Carolina
Speaker 1: team minus Christian McCaffrey. Heard the highlight Teddy Bridgewater going
Speaker 1: eighteen yards. That's his first rushing touchdowns since he suffered
Speaker 1: the horrific in near career ending knee injury summer at
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. He also threw twenty six to thirty seven
Speaker 1: two seventy six two touchdowns. He did have the pick,
Speaker 1: and so all that being said, on both sides of
Speaker 1: the balls you mentioned Wolf Kyler Murray was asked this
Speaker 1: week about what he thought that Carolina tape revealed gotta
Speaker 1: be more physical. They were, you know, they really just
Speaker 1: they were more physical than us. And when he came
Speaker 1: down to it, they played harder than us. You know,
Speaker 1: they flew around better than us, and ultimately, at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, they wanted more than us. And
Speaker 1: you know, I think that was pretty evident on Sunday week.
Speaker 1: That was the bad news a week for the good
Speaker 1: news is once again it's fixable. You can attrust it, right, Yeah, absolutely, Polly,
Speaker 1: But this is so important that you get your leader,
Speaker 1: You get Kyler Murray up in front of everybody, up
Speaker 1: in front of the world, saying this is what happened.
Speaker 1: We got out physical, right, they they beat us, they
Speaker 1: played harder than we did. That is so important, Paul,
Speaker 1: It really is, because listen, there are many things that
Speaker 1: will beset you in life. There are many obstacles that
Speaker 1: you have to get over in life. But Paul, if
Speaker 1: you don't identify those obstacles, if you don't acknowledge those obstacles,
Speaker 1: you're never gonna get over it. You'll never get better.
Speaker 1: And this is the reason why it's so important that
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is not only a de fact team leader,
Speaker 1: but also a guy that is pointing it out, saying
Speaker 1: this was the issue, and the issue was they played
Speaker 1: harder than we did and they were more physical. And
Speaker 1: he's telling the truth, and that is so important for
Speaker 1: every guy that's in that locker room to hear what
Speaker 1: he's saying, absorb it, and then do something about it.
Speaker 1: And look, we've all seen athletes and teams in any
Speaker 1: sport that can accept the loss to some degree. I
Speaker 1: have seen none of that this week. Kyler Murray was
Speaker 1: not in a good mood. He didn't appreciate some of
Speaker 1: the pointed questions about how the offense wasn't very vertical
Speaker 1: and was more horizontal. Patrick Peterson knew want to hear
Speaker 1: a lot about some of the passing yards today. Larry
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald was very blunt. So I'm guessing Wolf that the
Speaker 1: film sessions and I mean some of what's going on
Speaker 1: behind the scenes that we're not privy to, have not
Speaker 1: been pleasant this week. That's my guests, Paully. That is
Speaker 1: really a cellient observation from you, and I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to even rip you this time that I mean that
Speaker 1: really is they might be on edge because of what
Speaker 1: they heard in that film role Oh, there's a really
Speaker 1: good possibility ball. Maybe they did get lit up. I mean,
Speaker 1: do you want me to go through some of the
Speaker 1: numbers if you're the defense. Carolina went on scoring drives
Speaker 1: of thirteen, nine, ten, eight, and fifteen plays, four drives
Speaker 1: of seventy five or more yards, time of possession thirty
Speaker 1: seven plus to twenty three. There was a key drive
Speaker 1: you gave up in the end of the game. They
Speaker 1: ended the third to the fourth quarter where they took
Speaker 1: eight and a half minutes off the clock and then
Speaker 1: they had the field goal made it a three possession game. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we know about the lack of a run game, and
Speaker 1: you couldn't get Kenyan Drake going two point seven yards
Speaker 1: per carry only fifty five plays run on offense. There
Speaker 1: is room for everyone to be salty after that game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But this is a different NFL
Speaker 1: Pauli today. It really is. Right. It's not just where
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals as well the Bruce Arians of the
Speaker 1: league are dinosaurs. The most part. There's the coaching hard
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna scream atch you and rip you up
Speaker 1: hard and stud that just as gone by the wayside
Speaker 1: in the game of football, and I think it had
Speaker 1: to based on the dynamics of the game today. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if they got lit up the way
Speaker 1: they would have been nineteen eighty five. But something tells
Speaker 1: me somebody got the red butt and started yelling. Heck,
Speaker 1: even ten years ago, what would Ken Wizzen Hunt to
Speaker 1: after a game like that? He would run a full practice, knockdown,
Speaker 1: drag out practice on a Wednesday. He would put you
Speaker 1: in full pads, full contact, and they would go, that's
Speaker 1: unheard up these days. Hey, Paulie. I had a coach
Speaker 1: that put the red dot on you on the film
Speaker 1: and said, always remember, guys, the better man wins. Think
Speaker 1: about that. And sometimes you got your face kited in
Speaker 1: with the red dot Byron Murphy next to the big
Speaker 1: red rage presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert pass over
Speaker 1: the middle on by Sims at the forty five and
Speaker 1: dumped immediately by Murphy. Job right there by Murphy and
Speaker 1: man cover Ylan Murphy really throwing throws it end zone
Speaker 1: near side, broken up by Murphy. Was there against Taylor
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy one on one in the back of the
Speaker 1: end zone, made a play on the ball. Here it
Speaker 1: is fourth and five of the Niners. On the sixteen
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals Garoppolo. The pass throws to the right side,
Speaker 1: then complete, Murphy steps in front of the receiver and
Speaker 1: knocks the ball down. The Cardinals takeover on downs with
Speaker 1: thirty three seconds ago. Byron Murphy makes a play on
Speaker 1: the pig. All that is big time. What a play
Speaker 1: by Byron Murphy, Cardinals starter, first pick, second round twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: One of only four rookie defenders a year ago to
Speaker 1: start all sixteen games. He led the team with ten
Speaker 1: passes defense. Ron Willfully A year a go and if
Speaker 1: you want to keep going back in the hot tub
Speaker 1: time machine, Scottsdale Zone, your Arizona Cardinals high school player
Speaker 1: of the year's circa two fifteen. Local boy makes good
Speaker 1: And if you remember in two fourteen, I love these
Speaker 1: high school stats. I love to go back in time
Speaker 1: and look at NFL guys and what they did in
Speaker 1: high school. Twenty fourteen, when he was a teammate with
Speaker 1: Christian kirk all Right at Swarow High School, they went
Speaker 1: fourteen to oz with a state title, and they combined
Speaker 1: for fifty seven total touchdowns. That's just stupid. But a
Speaker 1: couple of high round picks on there to Bump, There
Speaker 1: you go Byron Murphy joins us on the Big Red
Speaker 1: Rage Scottsdale Zone. Byron, how we doing tonight, man, I'm
Speaker 1: doing good. How you guys doing. We're doing great, buddy,
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Really appreciate it. How many times
Speaker 1: when you're out and about, how many times do you
Speaker 1: run in to be I know it's tough here in
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty with a pandemic, but just in general,
Speaker 1: when you're out and about, especially when you first arrived
Speaker 1: a year ago, you run into people maybe you went
Speaker 1: against in high school or at least claim to have
Speaker 1: played against you in high school or in youth leagues,
Speaker 1: and then they sort of they share their anecdotes of
Speaker 1: how dominating you guys were throughout the youth leagues around Arizona.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, youth league around Arizona. You know, you always
Speaker 1: got guys that you know, you grew up playing with,
Speaker 1: our other teams you have friends with. So it's just
Speaker 1: great to be, you know, back home and you know,
Speaker 1: get to talk about you guys as depths that you
Speaker 1: guys you know, we always have plan and me being
Speaker 1: able to talk to them guys about being at the
Speaker 1: next level of a good journey for me. But like
Speaker 1: I said, having the youth teams in Arizona is always competitive.
Speaker 1: Announced this day, we're always yeah, still thinking up with
Speaker 1: friends to the vent. So Byron. I grew up in
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, New York, the village that actually has the
Speaker 1: Bill Stadium in it, right, Orchard Park, New York, a
Speaker 1: suburb of Buffalo, and I always thought to myself, Man,
Speaker 1: I wanted the Bills to draft me. That would have
Speaker 1: been awesome to play in front of my hometown right
Speaker 1: so to speak. Yet at the same time, there would
Speaker 1: have been an awful lot of pressure you to go out.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? How does it feel
Speaker 1: to be drafted by your hometown team? Is it more
Speaker 1: pressure than anything else? I did think that really a
Speaker 1: dream come true. You know, I grew up a Cardinals
Speaker 1: fan here from Arizona. You know that was the biggest question.
Speaker 1: A lot of people say he's gonna have pressure staying
Speaker 1: at home, But I just think it's a blessed guy
Speaker 1: of all my family here. So I'm not really going
Speaker 1: it's not going anywhere far anything like that. I'm comfortable
Speaker 1: where I'm at, So I think it was a good fit.
Speaker 1: And then, like I said, it was a blessed feeling
Speaker 1: to stay home. You're around my family as well. Well.
Speaker 1: I cite you, guys. I had a fourteen year old
Speaker 1: here and when it's over one hundred degrees doesn't want
Speaker 1: to go to practice. I said, you know what, Byron
Speaker 1: Murphy and Christian Kirk and d J. Foster all dealt
Speaker 1: with it when they were growing up. So you get
Speaker 1: out there and get to practice. So I hope you
Speaker 1: don't mind. I used you. I used you guys as
Speaker 1: a barometer. Okay, oh yes, sir, definitely, youth practices are
Speaker 1: very high. So, Byron, how are you feeling your four
Speaker 1: games into this season right now? Year two, how are
Speaker 1: you feeling. I'm feeling great right now, you know. I
Speaker 1: just I just games going on. When you got down
Speaker 1: the first quarter, now on to the next. So body's
Speaker 1: feeling good. Mindsets feeling good, just ready to keep working.
Speaker 1: I just think this team has suthing very special in me.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we got to keep working agetting to it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, overall, just everything's great. Right now. Here's Patrick
Speaker 1: Peterson this week talking about you and what he sees
Speaker 1: in your future. Byron. He's always been a grinder, you know,
Speaker 1: ever since he's gotten here last year. You know, the
Speaker 1: game means a lot to Byron. You know, he wants
Speaker 1: to make sure that he's in the best musician possible
Speaker 1: to be successful. And it's only gonna get better for
Speaker 1: him because the game is going to continue to slow
Speaker 1: down for him. And I tell him that, you know,
Speaker 1: each and every time we have an opportunity to talk,
Speaker 1: you know, the skuy's a limit for Byron Um. You know,
Speaker 1: he has all the physical attributes, you know all you know,
Speaker 1: every athletic ability in the world that a cornerback needs
Speaker 1: to be successful, you know, not just on him to
Speaker 1: tap in into that and be consistent. So we know
Speaker 1: you have the skill set. It sounds like you have
Speaker 1: the work. I think what has been the biggest transition
Speaker 1: for you into the NFL the past year and a half.
Speaker 1: I think I think P two said, you know, the
Speaker 1: game kind of slowing down for me. I thought it
Speaker 1: was very fast at the beginning, getting into my Playbock,
Speaker 1: but going the biggest things, just watching film, getting those
Speaker 1: small details together. But and again working with Pat p
Speaker 1: you know, he's telling my game a lot. I was
Speaker 1: just asking a question, You're gonna answer it, you know,
Speaker 1: answer the right way. For me, even when we're in film,
Speaker 1: I just watched the footwork, like I said, all the
Speaker 1: small details and just get that knowledge from a fat
Speaker 1: like that. You know, it's a great, great fun to
Speaker 1: have him in the room. Someone like that you can
Speaker 1: learn from as well. But I just think he had
Speaker 1: the game just slowed down for me this year, and
Speaker 1: I just think that's the biggest thing I had about games.
Speaker 1: Just make sure, you know, just let's not overthink a
Speaker 1: lot of things. Listen, Byron, I know you're a year
Speaker 1: two and you're coming into the league, But do you
Speaker 1: ever look ahead down the road and say, man, I'd
Speaker 1: love to play ten years, I'd love to play twelve years,
Speaker 1: I'd love to play fourteen years. I mean, do you
Speaker 1: allow yourself to ever think this is the way I'd
Speaker 1: like to go, this is the direction I'd like to go,
Speaker 1: this is the kind a career I'd like to have.
Speaker 1: Do you ever allow yourself to ruminate about that? You know,
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me is I just know I
Speaker 1: just can't see myself without football, So I hope it's forever,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I hope it's forever, but
Speaker 1: I know that when that day comes, you know, when
Speaker 1: it's over. Hopefully it is fifteen years. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: to play as long as I can, but as the
Speaker 1: day you know, I'm never looking for me to come
Speaker 1: out to that field, so I'll be there for thirty years.
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe coaching as well, Byron? Coaching is that something? Coaching? Yes,
Speaker 1: definitely coaching as well. After I'm surprised, well, twenty games
Speaker 1: into his career, you're already asking if he wants to
Speaker 1: be a coach, But he does, so you know, he
Speaker 1: saved your keystar on that question, right, But you know
Speaker 1: what it's because Byron loves football. He loves football. Listen
Speaker 1: to what he just said right there, right Byron, I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't imagine that I'll have a son so kind
Speaker 1: of right now to teach him some stuff as well,
Speaker 1: get him some tips. Love that. Nice congratulations Byron Murphy,
Speaker 1: Cardinals Cornerback on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan
Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert. All Right, so we'ls looking at the
Speaker 1: horizon I'm looking at this week. Take us into the
Speaker 1: meeting rooms. We speculated earlier that based on advance Joseph
Speaker 1: and his well, his demeanor. I'm guessing there were some
Speaker 1: unpleasant film sessions of sort this week. You tell us
Speaker 1: in paints a picture, what it's been like the climate
Speaker 1: around Cardinals facility. You know, the climate it's been the same.
Speaker 1: You know obviously obviously you know the losses that we
Speaker 1: have to take. We are all how to take this
Speaker 1: man take out of the chain. But you know, nothing
Speaker 1: really changed as much. You just know, look at looking
Speaker 1: at itself, each other in the mirror, or look at
Speaker 1: yourself in the mirror, I mean, and just you know,
Speaker 1: just get back to work. You know, everything happens for
Speaker 1: a reason, So I just think you got to go
Speaker 1: on to the next game. Everybody has to be accountable
Speaker 1: for hold every single person accountable on the team, and
Speaker 1: like I said, the most important things, just be back
Speaker 1: to work. Like I said, this team, you know, it's
Speaker 1: a very special team. So I just know what we
Speaker 1: can do. And you know it's just don't take everyone.
Speaker 1: So everyone in the facility as well, So you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to just keep grinding. And like I said, you
Speaker 1: got a film room as well, but kind of you know,
Speaker 1: take it under the chain and get your mistakes I
Speaker 1: have the way learn from it and and move on. So
Speaker 1: that's a bigger picture. Just keep moving on and just
Speaker 1: working every day at Packers and getting better. Byron, as
Speaker 1: you were watching the tape, how did you think you
Speaker 1: played in this game? Obviously could have got my feet
Speaker 1: down that pick, still holding out against myself because I
Speaker 1: know I can make that play. Overall, I just think,
Speaker 1: you know, my game could have been better at certain plays.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm trying to learn from every
Speaker 1: single day. So I'm getting my feeling. I'm just not
Speaker 1: running every single thing down, just listening to my coach.
Speaker 1: But I just as overagers think, as a team, you
Speaker 1: just gotta like I said, a lot until a small
Speaker 1: detail and get the done next time. So we're just
Speaker 1: getting back to work and I was just gonna keep
Speaker 1: looking forward to each and every game every week. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been doing sidelines for fifteen plus years. It is
Speaker 1: staggering when you go on the road. Now there is
Speaker 1: zero atmosphere. And I know historically Cardinals teams will feed
Speaker 1: off the opposing fans and it's you against the world.
Speaker 1: Well that doesn't exist, So has that been a challenge
Speaker 1: is here to try and get that intensity up, because
Speaker 1: that's the first thing that coach Kingsbury cited after the
Speaker 1: loss in Carolina. Oh yeah, you know that energy is
Speaker 1: a big that's a big difference in the football game.
Speaker 1: You know, you watch your sidelines, so I always have
Speaker 1: great energy no matter how the game is going. So,
Speaker 1: you know, not having fans it's kind of you know,
Speaker 1: it's a weird thing for us. We never you know,
Speaker 1: never played football with no fans. So you know, that's
Speaker 1: the type of thing you gotta look look forward to
Speaker 1: when you get into the away game, especially it's just
Speaker 1: not being you know, you're not home, so it's going
Speaker 1: to somebody else's house with no fans. So shataho. You know,
Speaker 1: your teammates make sure everyone energies level great whenever it goes.
Speaker 1: When everything's going good, dame energy wheneverything's going bad. So
Speaker 1: as you just need the whole team to have great
Speaker 1: edging throughout the whole game because it's so quiet. So well,
Speaker 1: this week they're gonna get Joe Flackowolf, as you know,
Speaker 1: as Sam Darnold has been ruled out with that shoulder sprain.
Speaker 1: So it'll be very interesting to see what sort of
Speaker 1: challenge Joe Flacco presents the Cardinals past defense thirty five
Speaker 1: years of age, Super Bowl MVP twenty thirteen. About as
Speaker 1: traditional as stand up and upright quarterback as you're gonna
Speaker 1: get right. Well, you got that right, Pauline. Not only that,
Speaker 1: love Bell is a possibility to come back and play interesting.

Speaker 1: Byron Murphy is our guest All presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: in Gilbert Guests who else is back a Pro bowler
Speaker 1: out of the Cardinals secondary. We'll talk Buddha when we
Speaker 1: come back on the Big Red Rage presented by Santan
Speaker 1: Ford in Gilbert. Budda Baker is right there. There's Bruda
Speaker 1: Baker coming over the top. Bouda made the play that
Speaker 1: is big five Parson off the right side and Buda
Speaker 1: Baker makes a nice backside tackle. Least going to the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl as a safety. Buda Baker like a dark
Speaker 1: cloud coming out of the secondary. What a great job
Speaker 1: by Buddha Baker right there coming up to make that play.
Speaker 1: He dumps it off near side, caught by Homer at
Speaker 1: the thirty. He gets tattooed at the thirty two by Baker.
Speaker 1: Bouda Baker. Budda Baker came up to make that tackle
Speaker 1: and I mean finish stat tackle. People asked me last week, Hey,
Speaker 1: you miss Passion Wolf on their own, I said, no,
Speaker 1: I miss Bouda Baker. That's how I really missed last week.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. He After three games this year, he led
Speaker 1: the NFL in tackles for defensive backs. He had twenty
Speaker 1: eight missed last week. In Man, the world a lot
Speaker 1: of miss tackles, and there seems to be a cause
Speaker 1: and effect minus Buddha Baker, who no big deal just
Speaker 1: a year ago had a hundred and forty seven tackles
Speaker 1: most of any defensive back in the NFL. It is
Speaker 1: the Big It is the Big Red Race presented by
Speaker 1: Santan Ford and Gilbert Ron Wolfe. There, Paul Kelvey's here,
Speaker 1: and we continue to be joined by Byron Murphy, who
Speaker 1: goes back to the your You Dub days with Buddha Baker.
Speaker 1: So if someone is about to see Buddha play a
Speaker 1: game for the first time, Byron, what would you tell him?
Speaker 1: What kind of advanced scatter report would you give someone
Speaker 1: who's never seen Buddha play before. Oh, I'll just say
Speaker 1: he's a playmaker. Buddha's gonna fly to the ball every
Speaker 1: single play. He's gonna come at full speed. The boy
Speaker 1: don't break down. But great playmaker. Like I said, someone
Speaker 1: who's smart plays great football. It comes up to the ball,
Speaker 1: like I said, at full speed and coming up to
Speaker 1: really hit you. Sold. I was just saying, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously known him since you dub one of my brothers,
Speaker 1: someone who know kind of taught me as well. But
Speaker 1: I'll just say he's a dog overall. Yeah, he is
Speaker 1: a dog. There's no doubt about it. Byron. You know
Speaker 1: What's it's interesting because as well as he tackles, I
Speaker 1: am really impressed the way you tackle as a corner.
Speaker 1: Is that something you take brighton? Oh? You know, that's
Speaker 1: always been That's always been a little chick of my
Speaker 1: shout up people's sounds the smallest, you know, that just
Speaker 1: kind of made me go out there show him, you know,
Speaker 1: sizes on me none to go out there and put
Speaker 1: the path on the hand to shout you said, I
Speaker 1: was just my mindset man bringing up that heat. So
Speaker 1: I tell you though those you dup defenses. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna play, especially for Jimmy Lake in that
Speaker 1: secondary he's now the head coach, I'm guessing you better
Speaker 1: tackle right. Oh yeah, that coach way is gonna get
Speaker 1: on you if you don't tackle. That's one thing we
Speaker 1: always practice as well. And then in the field room
Speaker 1: he will get on you. So in a corner at you,
Speaker 1: you meant you have to make sure you don't attack it.
Speaker 1: So when you have Buddha Baker back, do you think
Speaker 1: communication in the secondary will improve? Oh yeah, definitely. You
Speaker 1: know that he's been he's been a leader of our defense. Uh.
Speaker 1: He's someone who we always can go up to and
Speaker 1: ask questions as well. Even on the field, he's just
Speaker 1: making sure every single thing is going right. Even if
Speaker 1: there's a motion, you're gonna recall it. So know having
Speaker 1: that leader back there and're gonna have us help us
Speaker 1: out a lot more. You looked at the Carolina film
Speaker 1: and where Teddy Bridgewater had success in the passing game.
Speaker 1: I know Pat mentioned a lot of crossing routes, rub routes,
Speaker 1: dare we say picks tell us about their approach and
Speaker 1: and what you guys found during the course of that
Speaker 1: game as to their game plan. Oh yeah, just like
Speaker 1: you said that running man beats crossing the routes over routes,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of just kind of mess with our eyes.
Speaker 1: But I was going to think, you know, we talked
Speaker 1: about doing the whole week. Like you said, Teddy was
Speaker 1: making plays as well. Um, you know, shouts out to
Speaker 1: them that they made the plays that we h You know,
Speaker 1: you kind of wish we could get back, but that's
Speaker 1: just something like I said, go back in the film
Speaker 1: run be a fit. You know, Byron, I have three
Speaker 1: keys to this game. I won't tell y' all three
Speaker 1: of them, but the third key is get off the
Speaker 1: field on third down. This is something you guys were
Speaker 1: doing so well right through the first three games of
Speaker 1: the season. You were doing so well in terms of
Speaker 1: getting off off the field on third down. How do
Speaker 1: you get back to that? You know, that's the big
Speaker 1: emphasy we talked about in the film room as well,
Speaker 1: even at prizing. We have a third down period. He's
Speaker 1: got to make sure we're making those plays no matter
Speaker 1: you know, the situation, the balls, and they're just making
Speaker 1: sure we're coming down with it on every single snap.
Speaker 1: So them third down plays, like you said, under the
Speaker 1: biggest kids of the game, you gotta keep driving to
Speaker 1: get off the field. You know. That's just just like
Speaker 1: I said, all has getting to the ball. The small
Speaker 1: details is doing our job. So that's you's gonna be
Speaker 1: the biggest thing accounts to film a third down on Sunday,
Speaker 1: Bayern Murphy. He joins us here on the Big Red
Speaker 1: Race presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. You mentioned Buddha
Speaker 1: flying around, not breaking down, just just bringing the heat
Speaker 1: and and and we know how he gets fired up
Speaker 1: to play in his home area of Seattle. Here's a
Speaker 1: wire clip he was miked up for the game last
Speaker 1: year at Seattle and the number was too the number
Speaker 1: of running backs he knocked out of the game. Seahawks
Speaker 1: run the ball off the right side and they were
Speaker 1: big hit by Buddha Acre at the twenty six yard line.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have been much more physical than Seattle. Was
Speaker 1: crazy boy, you crushed speed. How do you do that?
Speaker 1: How do you do that? No fear, no fear. I
Speaker 1: ain't scared of nobody. I love. I love how Chandler
Speaker 1: Jones goes from pass rushing maniac to media interviewer. He's
Speaker 1: like interviewing, you know there between players. I love that.
Speaker 1: I mean your reaction to that, Byron. You get to
Speaker 1: enjoy that every game. Oh man, I'm ala asked. That
Speaker 1: was just I was just laughing a hard time, especially Chandler.
Speaker 1: Chandler said, how did you do that? That was a
Speaker 1: funny part. You know when Buddha said that year nine,
Speaker 1: it was that kind of no motivational clip because you know,
Speaker 1: he really came in and made that play. It was
Speaker 1: a special play. But what Chandler came in and said,
Speaker 1: I just think it was funny. Byron, how about you personally?
Speaker 1: If you had to pick one technique, press man, man
Speaker 1: off or playing his own room, what would you pick?
Speaker 1: I have to go with press man? Press man? Why
Speaker 1: why press man? Walking up over the receiver, putting your
Speaker 1: hands on a due Yeah. If I'm a physical guy,
Speaker 1: like working at the line of scrimmage, getting hands on guys,
Speaker 1: uh really could play anything. But that's just my special Uh.
Speaker 1: Like I said, get on that line of scrimmage is
Speaker 1: making it hard for the receivers. Getting getting too his ground.
Speaker 1: What's the danger of that? What is the danger for
Speaker 1: anyone that is listening right now? Why is press man?
Speaker 1: What are the what are the ins and outs of
Speaker 1: playing that technique? You know the ins and outs taking
Speaker 1: a chance your technique, hats would be great at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Uh, I just think your feet can't
Speaker 1: be dead. You gotta always keep your feet moving because
Speaker 1: you know the receivers these days, they'd like to do
Speaker 1: a lot of moves at the line. So just making
Speaker 1: sure your patient and you know, just having that confidence,
Speaker 1: making sure that you think you're gonna make the play
Speaker 1: even though the ball to be thought on, that you
Speaker 1: think the boss coming to your all times. You don't
Speaker 1: have to ask Pat p that twice either, right, that's
Speaker 1: his preference to play the press man correct? Oh, yes, definitely.
Speaker 1: And so when you guys look at this Jets team
Speaker 1: and and how do you figure Joe Flacco he's gonna
Speaker 1: be making his first start of the year, and their
Speaker 1: weapons and that offense what jumps out to you right
Speaker 1: now about the Jets? I just think Alba is a
Speaker 1: team we just can't take them lightly. You know, the
Speaker 1: record doesn't mean anything in this league. But Minimu, I
Speaker 1: think is a big thing, and anything in the league
Speaker 1: as well, but some that just jumps out, you know
Speaker 1: that got playmakers, uh, you know every single week, so
Speaker 1: they're gonna have playmakers in there in the game. So
Speaker 1: joy to make sure we approached like every single Sunday.
Speaker 1: Don't look at them any type of a different way
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Uh. And then like I said,
Speaker 1: stick to the game plan, yeah, and just play er
Speaker 1: two because you can't go into any game just knowing
Speaker 1: knowing type of certain little small things. And I just
Speaker 1: think that's all the biggest things for all of us,
Speaker 1: just coming to this games on, you know, playing with
Speaker 1: that confidence and knowing we can get this w And
Speaker 1: of course you're going into New York and we've talked
Speaker 1: about this wolf. You know, you come in as a
Speaker 1: team and not only you're trying to get the win obviously,
Speaker 1: and you're trying to get the taste out of your
Speaker 1: mouth the last week, but you go in and this
Speaker 1: is where you can make a bit of a name
Speaker 1: for yourself and really trying to establish some legitimacy as
Speaker 1: a playoff contender for all the media and the attention
Speaker 1: and all the eyes are gonna be on you. I
Speaker 1: mean you used to go into New York every year
Speaker 1: when you were in the NFC East with the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: There is a different vibe, isn't there. Yeah, No, there
Speaker 1: really is, Paully, There's no doubt about that. You're talking
Speaker 1: about the media capital of maybe the globe for the
Speaker 1: most part. But I can tell you right now, man,
Speaker 1: I am jacked up for the Arizona Cardinals. I want
Speaker 1: to see their intensity. I want to see them breathe
Speaker 1: life back into their offense and their defense. We continue
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy with us here on the Big Red Rage
Speaker 1: presented by Santan Ford in Gilbertson snapped the jamis back
Speaker 1: to pass, looks on your side, floats it, and it
Speaker 1: is picked off at the thirty five yard line by Murphy,
Speaker 1: his first career interception. What a great job by Byron
Speaker 1: Murphy turning around and getting his eyes on the fall,
Speaker 1: locating the pick and coming down with a pick two
Speaker 1: picks in that game by the Arizona Cardinals. The first
Speaker 1: career interception by Byron Murphy in that game a year
Speaker 1: ago as a rookie. He is our special guest to
Speaker 1: night in the Big Red Rage presented by Santan Ford
Speaker 1: and Gilbert Paul Kalbec, Ron Wolfley and Byron Murphy and
Speaker 1: Byron we had Andy zabell On and he had the
Speaker 1: big catch and run touchdown his first the eighty eight
Speaker 1: yard or a year ago against the Niners. And then
Speaker 1: he told us he used the football for training purposes
Speaker 1: in the off season. It was the only fall he
Speaker 1: had and he'd take it out on the field and
Speaker 1: he wasn't a souvenir or a commemorative thing at all.
Speaker 1: How about you with your first career pick whatever ended
Speaker 1: up with that football? My mom taking from me, good
Speaker 1: move for me, and she's framed and she put it
Speaker 1: up and she told me you will never get it back.
Speaker 1: She kept that ball, thought her it was for her anyway,
Speaker 1: So she got it right now to the day at
Speaker 1: her house. So Byron, here you go another ten am
Speaker 1: starred body clockwise right. How much does that mess with you? Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of a little, it's a little adjustment.
Speaker 1: But my thing is wherever you know, time places, wherever
Speaker 1: we're playing, you gotta be ready for the game. So
Speaker 1: I wake up, you know, probably be a little tired,
Speaker 1: but you know that game. That feeling just kind of
Speaker 1: that energy levels kind of different. So and as we mentioned,
Speaker 1: Cardinals went in last week with the number one defense
Speaker 1: on third down Vance Joseph talking today about what happened
Speaker 1: then and what needs to be fixed, It came down
Speaker 1: to tackling. It came down to third downs. We won
Speaker 1: the first and second down, Okay, we spent most of
Speaker 1: our third downs eight nine, ten, twelve, fourteen. So that's
Speaker 1: a clear indication. Dad. We won first and second down
Speaker 1: and we lost the down which were the longs. Okay.
Speaker 1: So if we can fix that part, that's going to
Speaker 1: fix the defense. Yeah, give us your diagnosis when it
Speaker 1: comes to the miss tackles, because we had really not
Speaker 1: seen that the first three weeks. What does tackling come
Speaker 1: down to in your estimation, Byron, give us a definition
Speaker 1: of what makes a good tackling. What needs to happen
Speaker 1: this week at New York. You know how I look
Speaker 1: at tackling just on one, it doesn't matter when it,
Speaker 1: let's find as long as you get the runner down.
Speaker 1: But tackling, you know, like I said, all hats got
Speaker 1: to get to the ball. Everyone on the defense gotta
Speaker 1: run to the ball every single play. And this this
Speaker 1: like this Sunday that you gotta make sure we'll fix that.
Speaker 1: Everyone getting to the ball, wrapping up, just making sure
Speaker 1: everyone's flying to the ball, because everyone flies, you know,
Speaker 1: eleven eleven hats on the field, so everyone someone's gonna
Speaker 1: get them down. So just you know, that effort and
Speaker 1: you want they're willing to tackle. That's what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. You know, the intensity seem to be lacking
Speaker 1: a little bit Byron just looking at the start of
Speaker 1: that game. The offense, of course, not being able to
Speaker 1: move the ball, had to punt it. Then there was
Speaker 1: a block punt and then all of a sudden, now
Speaker 1: here you go, right the defense comes out there and
Speaker 1: gives up a long drive for a touchdown. You guys
Speaker 1: really started slowly. What do you do about that? Do
Speaker 1: you guys talk about that, about bringing me intensity right
Speaker 1: from the first snap? You talk to each other about this.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we always got to come out with that fire,
Speaker 1: you know, playing at one speed and that's fast. That's
Speaker 1: something we say every single day. And I think starting
Speaker 1: off slow like that, you know, you just gotta make
Speaker 1: sure everyone stays locked in. Everyone, you know, keep each
Speaker 1: other up and no point of the thing is because
Speaker 1: of the team. You know, it's a whole, it's everyone,
Speaker 1: not individuals. So we start out slows, you know, the
Speaker 1: next person, you know, defense gotta go out there and
Speaker 1: make a play. Obviously we came like you said, we
Speaker 1: got to touchdown, score mass. We gotta just going to
Speaker 1: the next player on the next drive. You know, offense
Speaker 1: coming out whatever, you know, they score. If they don't score,
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, it's next next drive. So
Speaker 1: I just having that mindset. I just keep trying to
Speaker 1: get us trying to make it play every single every
Speaker 1: single down. That's the biggest thing. And like you said,
Speaker 1: gett have to feel on third down. You know, I
Speaker 1: just think that kind of helps in that confidence of
Speaker 1: which just reaches even higher every time. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: just keep keep our nose in the keep working and
Speaker 1: keep grunding it. And then obviously we're going to make
Speaker 1: those plays happen. And once again, you know it's worth reiterating,
Speaker 1: Budda Baker is back. He tweeted out those words, I'm back.
Speaker 1: We know he's one of those heartbeats on the team.
Speaker 1: And here's here's Larry today. When asked about Buddha, nobody
Speaker 1: means more of this football team than Budda Baker. You
Speaker 1: can take that to the bank. I mean, the guy
Speaker 1: plays the game, you know, the right way. He works
Speaker 1: at it. He's humble, he's level headed, and he plays
Speaker 1: the injury. He plays the game of football like he's
Speaker 1: six foot four, two hundred and eighty pounds. The way
Speaker 1: he flies around, and how selfless he is. If he's
Speaker 1: asked the cover, he's asked the blitz, he asked to
Speaker 1: do whatever, play different positions, he knows it all. I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy's the best of the best. I remember when
Speaker 1: he was a rookie and when he was at you
Speaker 1: Dub he said Byron that in the off season, because
Speaker 1: he's a Seattle guy, he would work out with the
Speaker 1: Legion of Boom with Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas and
Speaker 1: Cam Chancellor on those guys. Did you ever have a
Speaker 1: chance when you were in college to interact with any
Speaker 1: of those guys with the Seahawks at the time. Um, Actually,
Speaker 1: we got the facility Tracy Ford and Billy Washington. That's
Speaker 1: where everyone trains, and a couple of those guys's trained
Speaker 1: there for a little bit in the off season, but
Speaker 1: came back to Arizona, so I didn't really have that
Speaker 1: much time up there, got a couple of workouts, got
Speaker 1: some knowledge from Tracy Ford and those guys, and then
Speaker 1: came back to Arizona. Hey, Byron Man, just totally totally
Speaker 1: want to thank you for coming on and talking to
Speaker 1: us tonight. I'm spending as much time as you have.
Speaker 1: Really do appreciate it, big guy. Thank you, appreciate it. Byron,
Speaker 1: Thank thank you. Guys. That is Byron Murphy at one
Speaker 1: of your starting cornerbacks. And I tell you this Cardinals defense,
Speaker 1: I'm expecting them to hit the reset button. Bull and
Speaker 1: what we saw those first couple of weeks, really the
Speaker 1: first three weeks in a lot of ways, real curious
Speaker 1: how they take out this last performance on the New
Speaker 1: York Jets, Adam Gays in his scheme, Joe Flacco and
Speaker 1: that offensive line. All I know is when Chandler Jones
Speaker 1: goes into New York usually has a big game. So
Speaker 1: we'll see what's in store as we come back and
Speaker 1: wrap up this edition of the Big Red Rage presented
Speaker 1: by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are. Santan Ford back
Speaker 1: to past, Bridgewater grows deep right side overthrown it picked
Speaker 1: off by Patrick Peterson a lot in the sideline. He's
Speaker 1: out of bounds near the thirty one yard line and
Speaker 1: there it is, just like San Francisco, a potential momentum
Speaker 1: shift with the takeaway the first interception by Arizona in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty second down and goal from the three yard line,
Speaker 1: snapped to Murray back to throw pomps right and looks
Speaker 1: back to the middle, fires into the end zone, caught
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Thomas with a touchdown his first as Kyler.
Speaker 1: Murray and Thomas hook up to get Arizona on the board,
Speaker 1: making the most of that pat be picked rat calls
Speaker 1: and astute observation by our day patch. There Cardinals at
Speaker 1: Carolina and yeah, well it was hard not to think
Speaker 1: of the block punt at the forty nine ers when
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are down ten nothing and then the resulting
Speaker 1: touchdown and the next play Chase Edmonds and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden boom the Cardinals were in. They end up
Speaker 1: winning that game. They were only down fourteen seven at
Speaker 1: that point a Carolina, but there was no repeat thirty
Speaker 1: one twenty one they end up losing. It is a
Speaker 1: big red race presented by Santan Ford in Gilbert Paul
Speaker 1: calvc Ron Wolfley And what I loved about that Jordan
Speaker 1: Thomas touchdown reception was it came out of a three
Speaker 1: tight end set, more of a power goal line type set,
Speaker 1: didn't it. Yeah, no doubt, PAULI right there or that's here,
Speaker 1: all over it and that was good to see. But listen,
Speaker 1: going into this game right now, I have to tell you, Paul,
Speaker 1: was I have three keys, and I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about these three keys. Let's go. But none
Speaker 1: of this, Paul, none of this matters. If they're not
Speaker 1: ready to play. None of this matters, Paul. You know,
Speaker 1: you go back and you think of what we saw
Speaker 1: last week and how slow they started that game. Man,
Speaker 1: if there's a repeat, none of this matters that we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about right now. Well, here's before you
Speaker 1: get to your keys. Here's Larry Fisher old when he
Speaker 1: was asked just to go ahead and illustrate the importance
Speaker 1: the urgency that's on the line here. If this Jets
Speaker 1: game in week five is a must win, I believe so.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the leaders in our division.
Speaker 1: Seattle is foreign oh right now, and they're rolling We
Speaker 1: have to be able to find a way to get
Speaker 1: back on the right track. Another road game. We're calling
Speaker 1: across to you, three time zones to play, and we
Speaker 1: got to find a way to put it four quarters
Speaker 1: of good football together on all three phases. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it is definitely a must win. You're not in the
Speaker 1: NFC least, Okay, you're in the toughest division in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So with that, just that alone, plus you got two
Speaker 1: games that you you arguably should have won the last
Speaker 1: two weeks, so you gotta make up ground. Go ahead. Yeah, no, absolutely, Paul. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that that Leary came out and said that
Speaker 1: because you need that kind of honesty. Number one key
Speaker 1: is to protect Kyler Murray. You have to protect Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: You're talking about a team that leads the National Football
Speaker 1: League and roughing the passer penalties seven. It's not even close.
Speaker 1: The next team has three. Think about that, Paul. Last
Speaker 1: week alone, the Jets had six personal fall penalties on
Speaker 1: the field six. Oh, Raig Williams. Defense is rated R
Speaker 1: for reputation. It stands for reputation. It's good, PAULI I
Speaker 1: love that right there. Yeah, Greg will protect Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: At all costs. Number two, they got to run the ball, Paul.
Speaker 1: They have to be able to run the ball and
Speaker 1: run it in a north south way. They got to
Speaker 1: get Kenyan dry going think back to the second half
Speaker 1: of last season, right, think back when this offense really
Speaker 1: was starting to fire, really was starting to click that
Speaker 1: second half the last eight nine games of the season
Speaker 1: where you had Kenyan Drake, and Kenyan Drake was running
Speaker 1: the football and he was doing it in a north
Speaker 1: south way. The physicality that was brought into this offense
Speaker 1: really mixed well. With eleven personnel, ten personnel, four wide receivers,
Speaker 1: three wide receivers, right, twelve personnel with two tight ends.
Speaker 1: They used all different kinds of personnel groups, and the
Speaker 1: run pass ratio was man I want to say about
Speaker 1: fifty fifty. For the most part. It helped the pass
Speaker 1: game because now they had to respect the play action.
Speaker 1: It's exactly right, PAULI. You've got to be able to
Speaker 1: do it. Run the ball. That's number two, and number
Speaker 1: three is get off the field. They gotta get off
Speaker 1: the field this week on third down, the defense was
Speaker 1: so good through the first even against the Lions. Even
Speaker 1: against the Lions, of defense was thirty three percent on
Speaker 1: third down. I mean that is great. That's championship level
Speaker 1: right there, getting off the field. If you keep the
Speaker 1: opposing offense to thirty three percent on third down, they
Speaker 1: got to get off the field on third down. Get
Speaker 1: back to playing that defense that they were through the
Speaker 1: first three games of the season. Let's see can the
Speaker 1: Cardinals find that identity, especially on offense. Here's Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: this week. We're kind of trying to find ourselves, just
Speaker 1: like every other team through this first month and an
Speaker 1: irregular NFL season, and we haven't hit our stride offensively.
Speaker 1: It's pretty evident we have to do a better job
Speaker 1: coaching and playing, and I think we will as we
Speaker 1: move forward. We want to run the football first and foremost,
Speaker 1: and you know, I haven't been able to be as
Speaker 1: effective as maybe we would have liked. Well we joke about,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a reality. Greg Williams and how they
Speaker 1: played to the echo of the whistle and the reputation
Speaker 1: proceson what sort of defense do they play in terms
Speaker 1: of scheme and what can Cliff Kingsbury expect you? Oh,
Speaker 1: my good as you could expect anything out of this guy.
Speaker 1: Greg Williams is going to play a four or three Paul,
Speaker 1: he might play a four to three or three four
Speaker 1: in the game. Really, I kid you not. Yeah, he'll
Speaker 1: go ahead and he'll mix up all different kind of
Speaker 1: personnel groups. As a matter of fact, if you don't
Speaker 1: believe me, just listen to Greg Williams the next time
Speaker 1: he starts talking about his defense. He says, Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that you're practicing on stuff that
Speaker 1: I'm never even gonna call, but I'm gonna show it
Speaker 1: to you on tape. That's quintessential that Williams. What he's
Speaker 1: trying to do is confuse you and get you to
Speaker 1: work on a lot of different things, a lot of
Speaker 1: different packages that he has that he won't even call.
Speaker 1: Come Sunday, Well, I tell you to me. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you can get a big lead early on this Jets team,
Speaker 1: you're not telling me they're not just gonna fold and
Speaker 1: pack it in. Plus, maybe you can struggler out of
