00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 5: off here on the Cardinals Reds Report unless you actually

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 5: played the game.

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 6: Well, you know those guys now in retirement, they work

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 6: less than Congress. Let's be honest. Okay, So the best

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 6: ability is availability, and you know the three of us

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 6: are checking that box here. You know we're your try

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 6: hard hosts here on Cardinals Red Sea Report.

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 5: Welcome as young Zach Gershman to the show.

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 7: Thank you, I appreciate it. I just saw that that

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 7: Lebron James was talking about how he that this is

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 7: the time of year he would rather just spend Christmas

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 7: at home and not have to play the game. It

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 7: seems like Rob and Lorenzo seems like they all took

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 7: that to heart.

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, when you're clearing one hundred million annually,

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 6: you know you might have to work, Chris mess when

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 6: you're an entertainer, and you're I mean, come on, Lebron,

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 6: you should know better at this point.

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 5: Well, we all think Lebron Frederickson zoh, I mean that's

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 5: at the same level, right.

38
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 7: Sure, Lonzo Ball, I mean maybe it sounds the thing.

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 6: In their minds. Ask them, just ask them, they'll equate it.

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 5: Yes, we are here for the next hour to help

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 5: you celebrate the holiday season and perhaps look forward as well.

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: We do have some news and notes concerning a couple

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 5: of pro bowlers for the Arizona Cardinals. But first things first, Zach,

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: you were on duty on Sunday. You wrote the game

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 5: story on Easycardinals dot Com. Cardinals lose the home finale

46
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 5: to the Atlanta Falcons by the score of twenty six

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 5: to nineteen. And yes, it was a little bit of

48
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 5: a different situation because the Cardinals actually came out and

49
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 5: had a two score lead. They won the turnover battle,

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 5: but all that matters is what was on the scoreboard,

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: and the Cardinals did not win that.

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was the perfect start. You get down the field,

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 7: you're putting up points on the scoreboard. You know, your

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 7: defense makes a big time stop in the first drive

55
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 7: of the game, Denzel Burke having that diving interception and

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 7: it was fourth down, but still it's good to see

57
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 7: the rookie make a big time play. And then as

58
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 7: you started getting closer towards the middle of the second quarter,

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 7: things start to shift a little bit. Chad r Island

60
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 7: missed that field goal to go into half, the Cardinals

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 7: would have had the lead, and it just right there,

62
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 7: you kind of felt that something might be happening here.

63
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 7: You're not sure what, but you had to hope that

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 7: this team was going to come out the second half strong.

65
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 7: And the team that did come out of the second

66
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 7: half strong was the Atlanta Falcons. The Cardinals just simply

67
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 7: were not able to put up points on the scoreboard.

68
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 5: Outscore ten to three in the second half, Paul, the

69
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: Cardinals were Yeah.

70
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 6: And you know what, you really were in a position

71
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 6: to still tie and or win the game. You get

72
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 6: the fourth down stop your second turnover on downs in

73
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 6: that fourth quarter. I mean there's Stalvin Tomlinson and Big

74
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 6: Darius Robinson and their balling, and you had the ball,

75
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 6: and you had momentum, and you know, and you're trying

76
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 6: to get the ball to your playmakers, which Atlanta did

77
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 6: a remarkable job defensively. Is if you asked me for

78
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 6: one big takeaway from that game, the fact that Trey McBride,

79
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 6: Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Junior combined for seven catches

80
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 6: combined for seven catches on fourteen targets. Whatever they did,

81
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 6: I'm guessing the Bengals are going to try and replicate

82
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 6: because it is a copycat league.

83
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: Really, the first time all season, Zach, that we have

84
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 5: seen all three of those pasca contained slowed down. Now,

85
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 5: props to Elijah Higgins, he stepped up. But again, and

86
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 5: Paul and I talked about it on Cardinals Cover too.

87
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 5: You want to take one away, that's fine. Two Okay, three, No,

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 5: you can't take You shouldn't be able to take all

89
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 5: three away from an offense.

90
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 7: Well, it's nice to see the run game get going

91
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 7: a little bit.

92
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: That was that too y?

93
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 7: I mean, But the thing is in Paul, you talk

94
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 7: about this all the time, how this is a copycat league.

95
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 7: A lot of teams are gonna see what the Atlanta

96
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 7: Falcons did against Trey McBride and JG talked about it

97
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 7: a little bit and said they played so many different

98
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 7: versions of shell defense that allowed them to limit Trey

99
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 7: McBride's production. Was not able to reach that five catch

100
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 7: limit that he's had so far throughout the throughout the

101
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 7: sixteen games, an NFL streak that he had of at

102
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 7: least five catches in a game by the tight end position.

103
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 7: He wasn't able to reach that milestone to continue on

104
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 7: that streak, which is a shame because it seemed like

105
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 7: that could be one of the streaks that could continue

106
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 7: for years to come. But Atlanta found a way to

107
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 7: do it. And on top of that, you knew that

108
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 7: Marvin Harrison Junior was not one hundred percent healthy. He

109
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 7: even talked about it earlier in the week and said

110
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 7: he's kind of just gonna have to be playing through

111
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 7: this heel injury. You have to expect and hope that

112
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 7: he makes some of those catches. But Elijah Higgins was

113
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 7: able to capitalize Paul on what he was able to

114
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 7: do off of how they were guarding Trey McBride. But

115
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 7: it is a shame to see that. Finally the team

116
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 7: cracked the code into stopping tray.

117
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 6: And you know what, you did have two targets in

118
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 6: the end zone where you came up empty. Trey McBride.

119
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 6: Yes it was a bang bang play. Yes there were

120
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 6: two defenders right in the vicinity. But based on his

121
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 6: reaction when he came back to the bench, she definitely

122
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 6: expected himself to make that catch. Marvin Harrison Junior in

123
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 6: the other end zone and he had an opportunity, and

124
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 6: based on his reaction when he came back to the bench,

125
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 6: he was frustrated with himself. They have high expectations, easily

126
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 6: could have seen either one, if not both, those guys

127
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 6: make both those grabs and it's a different outcome. But

128
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 6: that's the rub. It comes down to one, two, three,

129
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 6: a handful of plays and just like you have lost

130
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 6: seven games by four points or five, you were there

131
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 6: was your eighth one score loss of the season. So

132
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 6: you got to finish drives and that was a big

133
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 6: part of it, right, the red zone huge part of it,

134
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 6: field goals instead of touchdowns. Got to finish drives and

135
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 6: then ultimately with the ball in two o five to play,

136
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 6: you gotta finish games.

137
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 5: Cardinals failed on their two attempts inside the red zone.

138
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 5: The Falcons meanwhile the perfect three of three. Jonathan Gannon

139
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 5: after the loss to the Falcons, thought.

140
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: We battled. I love the resilience. Thought we battled in there.

141
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 4: Ultimately fell up a little short, you know, I thought

142
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 4: kind of the key component of the game. We had

143
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: some scoring drives, we moved it, but we had to

144
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 4: sell for some field goals and they converted some touchdowns.

145
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 4: So hats off to them. We're going to come back

146
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: to keep batling and we'll be on to Cincinnati.

147
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 5: Cardinals head to Cincinnati on Sunday. The question is Paul

148
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 5: now who joins the Cardinals in Cincinnati, because as we

149
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 5: saw in that game, Josh Sweat hurt on the second

150
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 5: defensive play, injured his ankle, returned, and then finally ruled

151
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 5: out in the second half. Garrett Williams carted off with

152
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 5: an achilles injury, yelled A frolt hurt his elbow, able

153
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 5: to return finish the game. Walter Nolan hurt his knee,

154
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: carted off, Buddha Baker Rabbit, Taylor Demerson, both exiting the game,

155
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 5: both returning to the game, finishing the game. But the

156
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 5: big ones are Walter and Garrett, and as Jonathan Gannon

157
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 5: announced earlier in the week, both are headed to injured reserve.

158
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: They are done for the season.

159
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 6: As you read all those names, I mean, he just wins.

160
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 6: It's like, can I can I get someone to spike

161
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 6: my eggnog at this point, I mean, I need something,

162
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 6: an adult eggnog. All those injuries and it just keeps coming.

163
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 6: And there are no replacements for Josh Sweat, your best

164
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 6: age rusher, Pro Bowl altermant, no replacement for Walter Nolan,

165
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 6: your disruptive three technique, Garrett Williams everything he does in

166
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 6: that secondary in the football IQ, yelled to fro Holt. Yeah,

167
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 6: I mean seventeen games in twenty twenty three, seventeen games

168
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four, all sixteen games he started this year.

169
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 6: Then he had to leave for a handful of snaps.

170
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 6: That was strange not to see big seventy two year

171
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 6: team captain at center. And then Rabbit the way he

172
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 6: throws himself around. I'm game plan this week talking about Rabbit,

173
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 6: and I equated just his want to the willingness to

174
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 6: run into the darkness like we say about Buddha Baker

175
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 6: and Jonathan Gannon agreed. He said, look, when guys are

176
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 6: coming out of the draft, you identify him a dB

177
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 6: as either a tackler or a hitter, and Rabbit is

178
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 6: definitely a hitter. And you know those are the kind

179
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 6: of guys who set a tone. Every one of those

180
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 6: guys sets a tone into game. So talk about things

181
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 6: getting more difficult, Yeah, you're looking at that prospect going

182
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 6: into Cincinnati.

183
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 5: Players are replaceable talent though harder to replace, and I

184
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 5: think that's what this Cardinals team is right now, Zach.

185
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 5: As far as trying to replace the talent that is

186
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 5: on the sideline.

187
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 7: What's that saying? Hard work beats talent and talent doesn't

188
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 7: work hard. The thing is, though, this this Cardinals team

189
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 7: is working hard, but you need hard work and talent

190
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 7: in order to get victories in this league. And that's

191
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 7: been the toughest part about all of this. It's funny

192
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 7: hearing what Paul just said there about JG describing Rabbit

193
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 7: Taylor Demerson as a hitter. The Cardinals have needed tacklers

194
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 7: as of late, and they struggled to do that a

195
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 7: lot with Bjeon Robinson, which attributed to the loss, especially

196
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 7: that one drive where he touched the ball all three times,

197
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 7: the forty plus yard reception that he had, and the

198
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 7: thirteen yard touchdown that he had, eleven yard scramble or

199
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 7: the eleven yard rush rather that he was able to

200
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 7: do that ultimately set up that thirteen yard reception. That's

201
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 7: been the toughest part about it. But you still have

202
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 7: to love and respect when you see so many different

203
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 7: guys just throwing their body out there. I understand that

204
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 7: the season is not what many people expected for it

205
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 7: to be, but a lot of these guys are playing

206
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 7: for jobs and they're playing for legacies at this point,

207
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 7: and that's something that comes down to. Especially for a

208
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 7: young guy like Rabbit Taylor Demerson, who missed the last

209
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 7: five games, it was good to see him back out there.

210
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: Seeing two more players carted off the field, that's got

211
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 5: to have an effect on the players on the sideline

212
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 5: and the locker room. Kalais Campbell addressed that following the

213
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 5: loss to the Falcons, I mean you're.

214
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 8: Trying to tell yourself next mane up, you know. But

215
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 8: I mean, if you're being realistic and then he was

216
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 8: a range, you're losing guys that you depend on, what

217
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 8: you know, that you prepare with and go to Warwick,

218
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 8: that you get to book confidence with. And so you know,

219
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 8: there's a lot of diffaces in this locker room, you know.

220
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 8: I mean, well we're gonna you know, go through uh,

221
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 8: you know, the week and go through practice. It's like, man, like,

222
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 8: I'm seeing so many new faces. It's like, wow, I

223
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 8: don't even know who, probably like five or six guys

224
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 8: where you know. I mean, I'm just learning at that

225
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 8: for the first time, you know. And that's just like

226
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 8: going to meet their basis that sings like so it

227
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 8: just it sucks. But this part of the game, you know,

228
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 8: that is what it is.

229
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: You forget that those players are human beings, Zach and

230
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 5: seeing your player, your teammate, not just get helped off,

231
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 5: but cart it off and then be told okay, let's

232
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 5: continue on, and then to have it happen again, yes,

233
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 5: you got to be mentally strong, mentally tough, but at

234
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 5: some point it's like, okay, enough is enough. And not

235
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: that this Cardinals team is tapped out, but it becomes

236
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 5: more difficult each and every play when all of a

237
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 5: sudden there's a stoppage because someone is being attended to

238
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 5: by the training staff.

239
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 7: It's very easy in today's day and ash and to

240
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 7: look at these guys as numbers and stats and see

241
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 7: what they're able to do and forget that their people.

242
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 7: But that's the truth. And a guy like Waltern Olan

243
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 7: the third who looks up to Darius Robinson what he's

244
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 7: been able to do so far in his eighteen years,

245
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 7: and that was something that that we we with Kalayis Campbell,

246
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 7: rather that we that we talked a lot about with

247
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 7: Darius Robinson Walton on the third, how they looked up

248
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 7: to Kalayis And I think back to Week four when

249
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 7: the Cardinals hosted the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night football,

250
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 7: the Rivalries game, and Kalais Campbell was out on the

251
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 7: field and when you cool guys were up in the

252
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 7: radio booth, I was down on the field just watching

253
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 7: a lot of these guys warming up, and I saw

254
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 7: waltern Onan the third go out there and just stand

255
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 7: near Kalais as he was warming up. Kalaius was the

256
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 7: only guy out there, and it was at that moment

257
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 7: I realized, like, Walt has it. You know, he has

258
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 7: the want to want to be out there. For all

259
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 7: the talk that was there about pre draft us, he

260
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 7: actually loved football. You start to see it there. And

261
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 7: then when he got out on the field, Paul, you

262
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 7: saw how much he loved it, and then the emotion afterwards.

263
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 7: Sure there was pain as he was riding away on

264
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 7: that cart, but there was also just a frustration of

265
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 7: what this rookie season has been.

266
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 6: Guys down in that field after Nolan got hurt, you

267
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: could hear it before you could see it. You could

268
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 6: hear his screams of pain. It was It was heartbreaking,

269
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 6: It was excruciating. If you were in the front row,

270
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 6: you could hear how much pain he was in. Jonathan

271
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 6: Gannon referenced that after a game, So you can't tell

272
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 6: me that doesn't take a mental toll. Everyone on that

273
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 6: sideline when the sideline empties out, not once but twice

274
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 6: for Garrett Williams and Walter Nolan, the third when they're

275
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 6: going out to midfield to pay their respects. I mean,

276
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 6: you got to mentally reset and get ready to go

277
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 6: play some football again. And that's not easy, and especially

278
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 6: where the Cardinals are in this season, where they are

279
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 6: in the standings the win loss record, it's not easy.

280
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 6: Yet Yet the mode of play has not lacked. That

281
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 6: has to me. That has not been a problem. Have

282
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 6: there been other seasons where the Cardinal's been mathematically and

283
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 6: made plenty of other teams been out of the race

284
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden the effort wines. I

285
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 6: have not seen that as of yet with this team.

286
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 7: This is the most amount of teams that have been

287
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 7: eliminated going to this part of the season in NFL history.

288
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 7: But Tayo Mackie a code to quote from Michael Wilson

289
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 7: talking about the injuries, and he said, if we were

290
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 7: on an amusement ride together and we saw somebody getting

291
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 7: carted away, we're not going on that ride. But the

292
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 7: way that the NFL is, you have to get right

293
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 7: back on the field and get it after it.

294
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 5: Season continues this week, in fact, two more games at

295
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 5: Cincinnati at the Los Angeles Rams to close out twenty

296
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,720

00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: Sea Report. When we come back how the game started

303
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 5: but then finished offensively. We'll touch on that next here

304
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 5: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

305
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: For sett taking a shotgun snap, seventh step, drop, looking deep,

306
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: earing it out farside inside the ten yard line, and

307
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: it is caught. Now they're saying incomplete. Michael Wilson couldn't

308
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: hang on. I don't know how that's not a touchdown.

309
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: That is a touchdown.

310
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 9: After seeing the replay and Michael Wilson doing what Michael

311
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 9: Wilson does, going up and making a play on a

312
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 9: fifty to fifty ball, that ball never touches the ground

313
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 9: and he never touches out of bounce.

314
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: After reviewing the play, they really needs touchdown.

315
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: Oh you hear the roar of the crowd, and that's

316
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: because the call has been overturned.

317
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 7: It is a touchdown and just an.

318
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 5: Incredible catch ruled incomplete, challenged, and then ultimately after review, reversed.

319
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 5: Michael Wilson with his fifth touchdown of the season, setting

320
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 5: a canw career high. And Paul, you shared this on

321
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 5: Cover two, but I think it's worth sharing again here

322
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 5: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report because you were on

323
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: the sideline when that announcement was made. Some of us

324
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 5: might have seen it on television, but Michael Wilson's reaction

325
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 5: once he knew that, yeah, that was touchdown number.

326
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 6: Five, Yeah, he was dubious himself, right, I mean, he

327
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 6: doubted it, and he sets what he said after the game,

328
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 6: and he did have a little look of uncertainty, like,

329
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 6: you know, there are guys who are confident, like, okay,

330
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 6: here comes a replay. I know it, you know it

331
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 6: is this I'm getting You're sort of like, well, I

332
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 6: don't know. And then all of a sudden, boom, they

333
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 6: declared it a touchdown and he just emoted, he just reacted,

334
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 6: sprinted down the white stripe the length of the Cardinals sideline,

335
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 6: went and jumped up on Izzy wolf Fork, the quarterbacks coach,

336
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 6: tapped up a bunch of guys. So you know when

337
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 6: you put in that much hard work and it pays

338
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 6: off in the form of a touchdown, a circus catch.

339
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 6: They just had this montage wrestling moves over here from WWE.

340
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 6: That's basically what it looked like.

341
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 7: Aw be close.

342
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 6: Okay, you know the Christmas collision they're calling it whatever

343
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 6: that is. I don't even know what it is, but

344
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 6: you know that's what that touchdown catch was a Christmas

345
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 6: collision in the end zone. And that's the name of

346
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 6: the game. If you want to be an elite receiver,

347
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 6: I must make the contested catch.

348
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: Even if you don't catch it until you're on your

349
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 5: back in the end zone.

350
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 7: Without your hands.

351
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 6: I mean, don't quibble, guys. You know he secured the ball.

352
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 5: It catches a cat.

353
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 6: Nobody says I have to use your hands to secure

354
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 6: the ball. Just secure the football.

355
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 8: Well, simme.

356
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 7: Fejoko tweeted out saying, that's ping pong.

357
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 6: Mike, there you go, that is true. Come on, Mike,

358
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 6: we need to get the video cameras over to Casa

359
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 6: Wilson and we got to get some of you guys

360
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 6: a lot of playing ping pong. Let's make it happen Hello.

361
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 5: It all comes back to ping pong and Michael Wilson

362
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 5: swearing by the fact that his hand eye coordination is

363
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 5: because of his ability and success at the ping pong table.

364
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 7: There's another thing that he does pregame that only Michael

365
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 7: Wilson does, and he has these glasses that he wears,

366
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 7: and Holly Road did a feature about it. Alabama is

367
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 7: starting to incorporate it with all their wide receivers. So

368
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 7: far in Arizona, Michael Wilson's only one that does it.

369
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 7: It's these glasses that when you turn them on, it's

370
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 7: kind of like a strobe light, and it helps your

371
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 7: eyes focus in on the football, so that when you

372
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 7: take off those glasses, the football looks a lot bigger.

373
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 7: So he gave it. He let me try him on

374
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 7: in the locker room, and man, they're dark. It's always

375
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 7: just flickering every single couple of milliseconds. It's pretty impressive.

376
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 7: And he also swears by that too, and so that

377
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 7: it really does help him out. He said it might

378
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 7: be a little bit of a foo foo kind of

379
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 7: thing and might not actually be real, but he's bought

380
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 7: into it.

381
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 6: So does it make it more difficult to track the

382
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 6: ball than when you're not wearing the glasses. All of

383
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 6: a sudden, the regular catch seems that much.

384
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 7: Easier, Yes, because the ball seems so much bigger and

385
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 7: you're able to see it into your hands. A lot

386
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 7: quicker we know Michael Wilson, except for in this catch,

387
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 7: because he was able to somehow secure it with his legs.

388
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 7: It's his ability to snag the football with his hands.

389
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 7: He's one of the best pass catching wide receivers with

390
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 7: his hands that a is out there, and he said

391
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 7: that it's because of these glasses that he wears he's

392
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 7: done it since his rookie season. It allows the football

393
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 7: to look a lot bigger.

394
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 6: One hundred years ago, baseball and football players you used

395
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 6: to put pieces of ten in their shoes and walk

396
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 6: around in the off season and run and then take

397
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 6: you know, so then their feet felt lighter, or they'd

398
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 6: build up the muscles in their legs. So you know,

399
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 6: it's just the same thing, just much more advanced technology

400
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 6: these days.

401
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: Whatever advantage you can get, whether a real advantage or

402
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 5: maybe more of a mental advantage, whatever gets you to

403
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 5: play better on the football field. That touchdown catch one

404
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 5: of only two receptions for Michael Wilson on Sunday. There

405
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 5: were only sixteen completions overall for Jacoby Brissett, who finished

406
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 5: with two hundred and three passing yards. Certainly not a

407
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 5: passing attack that we have seen in recent weeks from

408
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 5: Jacoby and this Cardinals offense. Cardinals, yes, able to move

409
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 5: the football in the first half, get off to a

410
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 5: two score lead, sick second half, it was a much

411
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 5: different story. Elijah Higgins on the Cardinals Locker Room Show

412
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 5: discussed why they were having success in the first two quarters.

413
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 6: Think we did a good job.

414
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 8: Obviously we didn't put enough points on the board, but

415
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 8: it was cool to see a run game get going,

416
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 8: and obviously we had some explusive passes in the game.

417
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 8: So yeah, just still not enough to get it done.

418
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 5: You mentioned it earlier, is ac the run game getting

419
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 5: going and for the second straight week, Michael Carter sets

420
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 5: a season high in rushing yards. And you just need

421
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 5: to figure out away with these final two games. Can

422
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 5: you get the run game and the pass game. Can

423
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 5: you have that balance like you saw in the win

424
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 5: at Dallas, Because the run game did give you a

425
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 5: little bit more of a balance, but the passes just

426
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 5: there were attempts, just not a lot of completions, and

427
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 5: it's good to see that the offensive line has been

428
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 5: able to create a couple of different holes that was

429
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 5: allowed for Michael Carter to get back out there. Mari

430
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 5: Demercato came in for a few different snaps and had

431
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 5: some very important rushes. I think the one of the

432
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 5: most important rushes in It's unfortunate and turned to points

433
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 5: was with just a few seconds left in the first

434
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 5: half of Mario Demercatto was able to bring the Cardinals

435
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 5: to the other side of the fifty and it kind

436
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 5: of gave me shades of that rush that he had,

437
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 5: the fifty plus yard rush that he had against the

438
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 5: Chicago Bears. When you're not necessarily expecting for the Cardinals

439
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 5: to be running the football, you expect for them to

440
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 5: pass it downfield to have a better field goal opportunity. Unfortunately,

441
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: Chad Ryland hit off the top upright, which was unfortunate.

442
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 5: But it's stuff like that that the Cardinals have not

443
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 5: been able to do a ton of throughout this season.

444
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 5: Is creating some of those holes, creating some of those

445
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 5: trunk runs out that are out there. You just have

446
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 5: to hope that you're able to marry it together. But

447
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 5: every single time, Paul that Michael Carter's out there, he delivers.

448
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 6: And you know him and Elijah Higgins had more success

449
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 6: than anyone at creating their own holes, their own running room,

450
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 6: bouncing off tacklers, requiring two and three guys to bring

451
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 6: him down. I think Michael Carter the last two games

452
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 6: I've written down to my notebook a few times pinball.

453
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 6: I mean, he's just bouncing off guys and staying on

454
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 6: his feet. The contact balance has been really good, especially

455
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 6: for a guy his size. And then what Elijah Higgins

456
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 6: is doing, you know the whole You know that tight

457
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 6: end moniker we put on tip ryman who wants them.

458
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 6: It goes for the entire tight end room right now.

459
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 6: I mean Trey McBride obviously he's a bowl to bring down.

460
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 6: Elijah Higgins seems like he's channeling a lot of that

461
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 6: and you better come ready to tackle because eighty four man,

462
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 6: he is going through you and getting those extra leaky

463
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 6: yards that proved critical and a lot of the situational

464
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 6: football we saw on Sunday.

465
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 5: Sixty eight of the ninety one receiving yards from Elijah

466
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 5: Higgins came after the catch. So again to your point,

467
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 5: that's in dang learning and figuring out a way. Okay,

468
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 5: it's not just making the catch and dropping down, but

469
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: you're making the catch and doing something with the football.

470
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 5: Cardinals with the football in the first half ninety five

471
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 5: rushing yards. They finished with one hundred and thirty two.

472
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 5: Not enough in the run game in the second half.

473
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: We take it back to Sunday. Jonathan Gannon on what

474
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 5: happened in the second half against the Falcons.

475
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 4: He had some chances, you know, to throw the ball

476
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 4: in from the high red or the red, had some

477
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 4: chances to play field go was on the board, didn't happen,

478
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 4: and in the last drive you'd like to get it

479
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 4: down into a scoring position to see what could happen,

480
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 4: you know, And unfortunately I think that was on first down,

481
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 4: they took the ball away and ended the game. So

482
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: let's got to do a better job.

483
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 5: Execution two Zho five left, one time out. You got

484
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 5: the ball at the forty yard line. There was a

485
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 5: false star penalty on Josh Fryer that sets you back,

486
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: but on third and eleven, Elijah Higgins with a nineteen

487
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 5: yard reception keeps the drive going. Zach next play was

488
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 5: the interception, So it's se can you keep that momentum

489
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 5: going some positivity, and then all of a sudden, there's

490
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 5: the interception. Now, great play by CJ. Henderson with the

491
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 5: diving catch on that to get the Cardinals off the

492
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 5: football field, but it looked like it felt like in

493
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 5: real time that Okay, you're driving for the potential game winning,

494
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 5: game time score and potentially game winning score if you

495
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 5: go for two.

496
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 7: So there's been one of the themes this year, and

497
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 7: it's been something that Jacobe Burssett has talked a lot about,

498
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 7: is that it's not the play calls, it's the execution.

499
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 7: And what we've been able to do. The theme has

500
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 7: felt like two steps back, one step forward, two steps

501
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 7: back again, and that sort of drive right there, you

502
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 7: have the Josh Fryer fall start that brings you back

503
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 7: down to third and eleven. Then you have the Elijah

504
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 7: Higgins nineteen yard reception. You're like, okay, we're back here

505
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 7: we go. We took that step forward, and then the

506
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 7: interceptions the dagger there. The Cardinals known passing situations as

507
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 7: much as they have has certainly changed the leak's perception

508
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 7: of Jacoby Brissett not necessarily throwing as many interceptions because

509
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 7: of how often he has had to drop back and

510
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: lay it out deep. It has forced him to throw

511
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 7: into a lot of these tight passing lanes. Now, you

512
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 7: would love to see a little bit more from Michael Wilson.

513
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 7: That's something that he was talking about after the game.

514
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 7: He said that he kind of misjudged it a tiny

515
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 7: bit over there. But at the end of the day,

516
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 7: when you get into these red zone opportunities, when you

517
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 7: go zero for two in the red zone, that's not acceptable.

518
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 7: That's what John Degannon talked about there. You need to

519
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 7: turn those three points into six points. The missfield goals

520
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 7: hurt you. The missed opportunities in the red zone hurt you.

521
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 7: But at the end of the day, you can't afford

522
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 7: to take two steps back one step forward because Paul,

523
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 7: I'm not good at math, but that's still one step.

524
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 6: Back, and we'll confirm that we'll waive our role. No

525
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: math around here, even during the holidays where less is more. Look,

526
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 6: there was no lack of accountability. Jacoby Brissett said, I

527
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 6: got to throw a better ball quote end quote. Michael Wilson,

528
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 6: to Zach's point, took responsibility for it, adding the I

529
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 6: didn't realize how close the defender was, and you know

530
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 6: the defender was behind him, so he probably naturally understandably

531
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 6: lost track of him a little bit and was a

532
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 6: ridiculous catch. You know, most TV's aren't making a catch

533
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 6: like that. That's why they're dbs. But if there's one

534
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 6: thing in these last two games, a break the skin

535
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 6: get a win. But if you could get a win

536
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 6: with a game winning drive at the end where you

537
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 6: could put it together, you could go the length of

538
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 6: the field, get everyone incorporated, run and pass and involve

539
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 6: all your weapons, and you know, the offensive line gives

540
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 6: Jacoby Reset the protection he needs and he's slicing and

541
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,719
Speaker 6: dicing and executing the two minute offense, and you end

542
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 6: up in a win column here. Heck, why not each

543
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 6: of the next two weeks. That's the kind of thing

544
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 6: that might have a little confidence to give you into

545
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 6: the offseason because so many of these games have been

546
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 6: so close, and until you start winning the games, you

547
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 6: might be close on the scoreboard, you're not close to

548
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 6: the win lost standings. That's how it works. In the NFL.

549
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 5: The notes is five times the Cardinals have had the

550
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 5: ball with the chance to tire or take the lead late,

551
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 5: and they've lost all five times, which Jacoby Brissett as

552
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 5: the quarterback. So yeah, Zach, to your point, it's they

553
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 5: are being put in position to be successful. The plays

554
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 5: are there to be made, comes down to the execution

555
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 5: or lack thereof, and all of a sudden, this Cardinals

556
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 5: team is walking off the field after a loss.

557
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 7: This goes all back to the quote JG said earlier

558
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 7: on in the season when they were starting to go

559
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 7: through a lot of this adversity. This team knows how

560
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 7: to compete, they don't know yet how to win, and

561
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 7: that's what this team is going to need to be

562
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 7: able to figure out. Maybe you're able to figure out

563
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 7: in the fire against Cincinnati or against Los Angeles, but

564
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 7: that's something that they need to solve.

565
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,240

569
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 5: halftime here on the Cardinals Red Seat Report. When we

570
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 5: come back. Darius Robinson, year two as he found something.

571
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 5: He certainly did. On Sunday, we discussed d rob next

572
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 5: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

573
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: Fourth and one, they line up Kirk Cousins under center.

574
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: He's got Algier and Warner behind him in the backfield.

575
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: It's a handoff Algier off the middle. Darius Robinson stuffs

576
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: up at the line of scrimmage. He definitely did not

577
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: get it, and the Cardinals will take over on downs

578
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 2: with two zero five to go.

579
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 9: Great pushback.

580
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 10: Darius Robins ends up being the first guy on.

581
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 11: But it starts with Mustafer, It starts with Dalvin Tommlinson,

582
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 11: the two big three hundred pounders. Clay Campbell's in there,

583
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 11: Robinson's in there, Simon's in there. They knew they needed

584
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 11: to make a play. All of the big boys come

585
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 11: to make a play on that time. Right there, you

586
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 11: get a stop, huge play.

587
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: You love to see it on Sunday. Love to hear it.

588
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 6: Right there.

589
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 5: Dave pash A Shipley with the fourth down stop. It

590
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 5: was fourth and one at the Cardinals forty yard line

591
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: and Tyler Algier goes nowhere. Darius Robinson and Dalvin Tomlinson

592
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: officially credited.

593
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 6: With the tackle.

594
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 5: Even though it took a lot more than that Zach

595
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 5: as far as stopping Algier for no gain to give

596
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 5: the Cardinals offense another opportunity. But that that's where you

597
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 5: hope that if you can take something away from not

598
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: only Sunday but for these next two games. Is that

599
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 5: defensive line and being able to win up front.

600
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 8: Yeah.

601
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 7: You when you know that they just need that one yard,

602
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 7: you want to try to be able to stuff them.

603
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 7: Kirk Cousins had one QB sneak and was able to

604
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 7: be successful if I'm not mistaken, But the Falcons were

605
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 7: two of for five if I'm not mistaken on fourth

606
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 7: down conversion. So you have to try to make these

607
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 7: stops that are out there. And the big boys up front,

608
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 7: Dalvin Tomlinson, I thought, had one of his better games.

609
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 7: He was able to get to the quarterback, something that

610
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 7: we have not seen a ton of his doing so

611
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 7: far in passing situations. He had eleven percent percentage rate

612
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 7: coming into the and that is now dipped down to

613
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 7: like four or five percent from this past season. So

614
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 7: it was good to see big number ninety four get

615
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 7: in front of Kirk Cousins there. But it all comes

616
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 7: down to who makes the stop and Darius Robinson was

617
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 7: credited as part of that. And for a guy's confidence,

618
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 7: like we know d rob needs to continue to build

619
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 7: in something he has talked a ton about, Paul.

620
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 6: It was encouraging to see earlier this year there was

621
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 6: a tendency by opponents when Dalvin Thomlinson was in the game.

622
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 6: They would run outside literally And so when it's fourth

623
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 6: and you got to have it running at three hundred

624
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 6: and fifty plus pound Dalvin Thomlinson probably not your best idea,

625
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 6: especially when he's flanked by Kalais Campbell, who we know

626
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 6: always has something in his bag. On those guy to

627
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 6: have it moments he's gonna win somehow, someway and then

628
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 6: Darius Robinson joining right joining the Reindeer games, I mean, boom,

629
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, all look, Dalvin Thomason and Daris Robinson.

630
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 6: Pash and a Q Shipley called their name more than

631
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 6: I can remember all season, especially in the same game.

632
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 6: Those guys played really well in the interior of that

633
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 6: d line.

634
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 5: A career high seven tackles for Darius Robinson also had

635
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 5: a fumble recovery as well on a previous fourth down

636
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 5: stop in the second half. After watching the film, head

637
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: coach Jonathan Gannon on what he saw from his second

638
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 5: year defensive tackle.

639
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 4: Violent played with good technique, good mode to play. Thought

640
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: he was super productive. Yeah, it was one of his

641
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 4: better games. I thought he's been on a trend up

642
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 4: here this last month or so. And like I said,

643
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 4: even if he doesn't show up in a box score,

644
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 4: I think he's playing the right way right now and

645
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 4: doing his job at a pretty high level.

646
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 5: And that's what we've heard Zach from not only JG

647
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 5: but Nick Rolis. Even though Darius hasn't shown up consistently

648
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: in the stat sheet, what they are seeing on film

649
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 5: is that he is occupying defenders or offensive lineman, allowing

650
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 5: maybe someone else to make a play. But when you

651
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 5: are a first round pick, there's a little bit bright

652
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 5: up a spotlight on.

653
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 6: You to where you do need to show up in

654
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 6: the statueet.

655
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 7: Because that goes back to my earlier point of the

656
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 7: fact that so many people just look at the stats

657
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 7: at the end of the game and they go or

658
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 7: they listen to the broadcast and they go, why didn't

659
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 7: we hear this guy's name a lot? But Paul it

660
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 7: to your point, teams have been game planning for the

661
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 7: guys up the middle and the way that they've been

662
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 7: trying to attack this Cardinals team. They've been going to

663
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 7: the outside a ton and that has put a lot

664
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 7: of the onus on a lot of the defensive backs

665
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 7: the secondary to tackle better at the line of scrimmage,

666
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 7: try to contain them because that yards after contact is

667
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 7: something that a lot of opposing offenses have been able

668
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 7: to do. It's good that Darius is starting to see

669
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 7: the stats start to add up a little bit. That's

670
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 7: important for him and for everybody in the fan base

671
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 7: that wants to see production from the defensive lineman from

672
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 7: your first rounder. But he is generating a lot of

673
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 7: attention defense. I mean, opposing offenses are wondering where Darius

674
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 7: is on the defensive line.

675
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 6: You know, a Q Shipley. We've talked about this on

676
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 6: the air. Like Week two against Carolina, Derek Brown was

677
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 6: the most disruptive dude on the field, the Carolina three technique,

678
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 6: former top ten pick once upon a time, I think

679
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 6: the same draft as Isaiah Simmons right before so and

680
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 6: you know, he didn't end up all over the box score,

681
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 6: but he was the most problematic dude on that Carolina

682
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 6: defense by far. So if you can have that guy,

683
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 6: he can be so disruptive he can throw your entire

684
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 6: offense out of whack. How many times you know, have

685
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 6: you seen Walter Nolan, you know, disrupt the flow of

686
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 6: an offense. So if Darius Robinson can now become that guy,

687
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 6: and there's one key at least you talk to the

688
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 6: coaches and they'll tell you the one key for Darius

689
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 6: Robinson get off blocks. And I thought he was separating

690
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 6: a lot better in this game. He was getting on

691
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 6: getting guys in arm away and then able to come

692
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 6: off that block and either go left or right and

693
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 6: impact the ball carrier or get into the backfield get

694
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 6: some pressures coming into the game. He had one quarterback

695
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 6: pressure all year, So there was room for improvement to

696
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 6: Zach's point in the box score in the stat department,

697
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 6: But beyond that, just how many times do you call

698
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 6: his name as being at the epicenter of a play

699
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 6: and forcing them to go the other way.

700
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 5: It's encouraging, it also disappointing because you look at next season,

701
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 5: you're gonna have Darius Rominson, But at the start of

702
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 5: the season, do you have Walter Nolan? Do you have

703
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 5: those two guys on the defensive line that you invested

704
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 5: first round draft pecks in because we're not quite sure.

705
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: All we know right now is Walter's got a knee issue.

706
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 5: Is it a serious knee issue as far as it's

707
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 5: going to bleed into next season? And then how much

708
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 5: does he miss without an offseason? Now all of a

709
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 5: sudden that year one, maybe you're starting all over again.

710
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 6: Is it gonna be two straight years to start his

711
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 6: NFL career without an NFL training camp? Probably? And that's tough.

712
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 6: It's really tough. I mean, it's it's testament to his

713
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 6: talent that he's able to be as good as he

714
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 6: has been. Just to show up mid season without a

715
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 6: single practice and pads in the NFL ever since his draft.

716
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 6: It really so Yes, that's tough. These last two games

717
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 6: would be very beneficial for him him. He's so raw.

718
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 6: Kalaias Campbell's winning with football IQ right now and savvinge

719
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 6: experience and yes, he can still play, but he'd tell you,

720
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 6: you know, there's so many times he just wins with

721
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 6: his football mind. Walter Nolan's the opposite. He's just winning

722
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 6: with sheer talent in a lot of ways, and so

723
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 6: it'd be so nice to get him some of that seasoning.

724
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 6: And yeah, it's gonna be an uphill climb next year

725
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 6: as well. Game reps.

726
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 5: Nothing more important than game reps. And that's what Walter

727
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 5: is going to miss here at these last two games.

728
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 5: Darius Robinson though, two more games to kind of get better,

729
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 5: more confident in his own ability. Cardinals last week against

730
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 5: the Falcons struggled containing John Robinson not only on the

731
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 5: ground but through the airror as far as what he

732
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 5: was able to do rushing the ball, catching the ball

733
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 5: twenty three total touches, one hundred and sixty eight total

734
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 5: yards from scrimmage. Cardinals' locker room show, Jonathan Gannon addressed

735
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 5: b John Robinson.

736
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 4: You know there are some one on ones there. He

737
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 4: had some chances to get it down a little quicker.

738
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 4: He's a good player, man, He's he hasn't gotten really

739
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 4: bottled up a year. I thought the one run kicked

740
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: out the backside, we had a pressure on. We got

741
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 4: to do a better job of making sure that we

742
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 4: keep the ball on our inside pad. But he's a

743
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 4: tough player. The one drive that I was down about,

744
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: he touched it three times. And they scored. He had

745
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 4: like the explosive maybe two explosives and scored. That was

746
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 4: a quick drive there, his tough players, good player.

747
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 5: Forty one yard catch, an eleven yard run, thirteen yard

748
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 5: catch for a touchdown. That was that three play drive

749
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 5: in the second quarter to where I think kind of

750
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 5: turned things a little bit towards the Falcons favorite because

751
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 5: they were finally able to get Bijon Robinson going. But

752
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 5: you brought it up earlier, Zach, as far as not

753
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 5: just with Bjhon Robbins, but for any ball carrier tackling

754
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 5: and are you taking the proper angle? Do you have

755
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 5: the proper technique to where, okay, maybe you can't stop

756
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 5: a Bjon Robinson, but he doesn't have to go three

757
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 5: yards and all of a sudden have thirteen because he

758
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 5: broke a tackle.

759
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 7: We all were in there for the press conference when

760
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 7: John again and invited us to his ted talk to

761
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 7: talk about what's been going on in the NFL program

762
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 7: with and how much you're able to actually do in

763
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 7: practices Craig at the end of the day, though I

764
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 7: don't think Jonathan Gannon was complaining, these are just the

765
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 7: rules and JG's not one of those type of guys

766
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 7: that's going to start to have a problem with the rules.

767
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 7: He's going to try to follow by the rules and

768
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 7: try to maximize the opportunities that this team is able

769
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 7: to have. But at the end of the day, and

770
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 7: we talk about it with Walter and on the third

771
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 7: getting out on the field, Darius Robinson getting out of

772
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 7: the field, the only way you're able to learn is

773
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 7: by doing it really in the game. That's the best

774
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 7: teach tape out there, is what you're able to do

775
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 7: against another opponent who's trying to get around you. And

776
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 7: the Cardinals have faced Christian McCaffrey a ton and he

777
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 7: has proven very difficult to tackle. You haven't been able

778
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 7: to see a ton of Bjon Robinson, But now that

779
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 7: he was out there, he reminded you why he's one

780
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 7: of the best backs in the league and just how

781
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 7: important it is what this Cardinals team is going to

782
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 7: need to do in the offseason. They're going to really

783
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 7: need a differentiate to our earlier point, the difference between

784
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 7: being a hitter and being a tackler and what you're

785
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 7: able to do technique fundamentals, alignment assignmon key technique in

786
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 7: details like jg always says Craig that you're going to

787
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 7: need to figure out because Dave allowed too many yards

788
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 7: after contact, broken tackles that has allowed offenses to generate

789
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 7: those explosives. The challenge Sunday is Chase Brown. He's not

790
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 7: Bijon Robinson, he's not Christian McCaffrey, but he is very

791
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 7: good running and catching the football out of the backfield.

792
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 6: And JAG on his weekly TV show he brought up

793
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 6: Chase Brown on his own how good he looked on film,

794
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 6: especially in this last game, a three touchdown game over

795
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 6: one hundred yards combined from scrimmage, a la Bijon Robinson.

796
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 6: In fact, he's done that in seven games this year,

797
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 6: which tops aj greens mark all the way from twenty thirteen.

798
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 6: So it's amazing. We have two premier receivers and Joe

799
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 6: Burrow as a passer rating a one forty six. All

800
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 6: of a sudden, there is a lot of room to

801
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 6: run and catch the ball out of the backfield.

802
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 5: Bengals put up a season best forty five points in

803
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 5: their win over Miami. Cardinals head to Cincinnati on Sunday,

804
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 5: and they head there with two Pro bowlers. We discussed

805
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 5: who is headed to the Pro Bowl in twenty twenty six.

806
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 5: That's next here on the air on a Cardinals radio network.

807
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: Looks right, rose right, pat, I'm a goal line touchdown,

808
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: Tray McBride.

809
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 11: When you need a touchdown, go to your best player.

810
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 11: Tray McBride. Huge play Lawrence back to pass.

811
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: Hey throws another interception, a diving peck made by Foota

812
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: Baker on the near side.

813
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 6: Unbelievable play by Buddha.

814
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: Baker looks left, throws left, put mccride at the five.

815
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 2: He's hitting the one, but he bounces off of the fender,

816
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: hitting the ends up for the cardinal touchdown.

817
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 11: That drive's Dray McBride again.

818
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 7: He's been an absolute monster.

819
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 6: Arizona shows Blitz.

820
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 4: Here they come.

821
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: Lawrence in trouble and he sat back at the thirty

822
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: four yards line by Buddha.

823
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 7: Baker looks right, rows right in the ends.

824
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: I'll come for a touchdown by Trey McBride.

825
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 9: Heck of a play by the all world tight end

826
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 9: Tray McBride.

827
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 5: Congratulations in order to tight end. Trey McBride and safety

828
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 5: Buddha Baker both named to the Pro Bowl for it's

829
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 5: his second straight trip. Buddha going to his eighth Pro Bowl,

830
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 5: seventh in a row as a safety. So those Cardinals

831
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 5: players headed to the Pro Bowl. Josh Sweat named an alternate.

832
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 5: So we'll see if the Cardinals get a third player,

833
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 5: but certainly well deserving for both players. And I don't

834
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 5: think we're going out on a limb here, Paul, but

835
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 5: I expect Trey's name to be selected yearly in the

836
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 5: Pro Bowl.

837
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I don't know much, but I know this much.

838
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 6: Trey McBride will be a perennial Pro bowler at the

839
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 6: tight end position. There is no doubt about that. Even

840
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 6: though Travis Kelce led the fan voting in the entire

841
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 6: league for the second straight year hashtag swifties. We get it, okay,

842
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 6: But beyond that, players know players, and they know Trey McBride. Sorry,

843
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 6: Brock Bauers, not yet. Trey McBride, you are the best

844
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 6: tight end all around in the league.

845
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 5: Leads the league among tight ends in receptions, receiving yards,

846
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 5: and receiving touchdowns. Among league leaders, he is third reception,

847
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 5: sixth in receiving yards, and tied for third in total touchdowns.

848
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 7: If it wasn't for those swift Travis mean Trey McBride

849
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 7: would have led all tight ends in fan voting. He

850
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 7: finished in second place. It was disappointing the fan voting

851
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 7: came out. Paris Johnson Junior came in second behind Dinell,

852
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 7: right from the Bears. So I know that it doesn't

853
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 7: the The fan vote isn't the entire thing. It's one

854
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 7: third of the selection process. It's one of the reasons

855
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 7: why Buddha Baker was able to make it. Because Buddha

856
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 7: Baker wasn't in the top ten in the fan vote.

857
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 7: But the way that the coaches and the players in

858
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 7: the league respect Buddha as much as they have was

859
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 7: able to give him his seventh straight Pro Bowl nod,

860
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 7: his eighth of his eighth of his NFL career. But

861
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 7: soon enough, I don't even think that this is brock Bowers.

862
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: Not yet.

863
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 7: I don't think Brock Bauers is going to get there,

864
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 7: because I think Trey McBride's going to take over as

865
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 7: the best tight end in the NFL and he's not

866
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 7: going to relinquish that spot for a long long time.

867
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 6: Can I give you one quick rant about Buddha Baker.

868
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 6: You know, I hear this noise out there about Cheez

869
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 6: he's not having you know, he's having a down year

870
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 6: Compared last year. He had a hunt hundred and sixty

871
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 6: four tackles. It was number two in the NFL. It

872
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 6: was the most like Cardinals' history, and you got to

873
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 6: go back to like nineteen seventy the year he had

874
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 6: last year. It was insane, but it was also out

875
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 6: of necessity. He was in the box a lot more.

876
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 6: He was a lot closer to the football. Why because

877
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 6: the Cardinals were ridiculously banged up and deficient along the

878
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 6: defensive line. You essentially had to make him another linebacker.

879
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 6: In so many ways. He's being used differently this year.

880
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 6: Some situations, Yes, they're dropping him down into the box,

881
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 6: not nearly the same frequency as a year ago. He

882
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 6: still has one hundred eleven tackles as a safety, and

883
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 6: the players, once again to Zax point, they know, players,

884
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 6: coaches know Buddha Baker is still one of the most irresistible,

885
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 6: unstoppable forces on defense in the NFL.

886
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 7: And with all the injuries in the secondary as well,

887
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 7: you've needed to have Buddha Baker there on the back

888
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 7: end because you need to have that trusty, reliable source

889
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 7: out there. Garrett Williams obviously missed a handful of games

890
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 7: that he did on injured resis or if he missed

891
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 7: five games, so that force Jalen Thompson a slide into

892
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 7: that nickel spot. So you needed Buddha Baker out there.

893
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 7: And he's also been a shoulder to lean on for

894
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 7: guys like Rabbit Tailor Demers and for Keaton Crawford. So

895
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 7: Buddha Baker, I understand that the stats might not be

896
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 7: what they were last year, but at least I don't

897
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 7: think I sound like the way Paul described those people

898
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 7: as sounding. But I do know, and you could hear

899
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 7: the noise, and I'm sure Buddha Baker would even say

900
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 7: to himself he's allowed a lot of different players out there.

901
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 7: But trust me, there's a reason why Buddha Baker is

902
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 7: still regarded as one of the top safeties in the NFL.

903
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 6: One other quick side note, and Jonathan Gannon Nick Ross

904
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 6: will tell you this that there were so many times

905
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 6: where Buddha Baker is actually in the picture where most

906
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 6: safeties wouldn't be anywhere near the ball caryer because it'll

907
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 6: come clear across the field. So he might get marked

908
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 6: down for like a mistackle or a partially mistackle. Well,

909
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 6: most safeties aren't even there to begin with, so he's

910
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 6: in positions that other guys never even get to.

911
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 5: Spotlight will be on Buddha and that Cardinals secondary. Coming

912
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 5: up on Sunday, Cardinals at the Bengals eleven am is

913
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 5: the kickoff six point thirty Pregame covers begin on the

914
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. And when you talk about the Bengals, yes,

915
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 5: it's Joe Burrow, it's Jamar Chase, it's t Higgins, and

916
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 5: that right there, Chase and Higgins do the Cardinals secondary?

917
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 5: How do you handle those two pass catchers? Well, this

918
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 5: week on Cardinals Game Plan, Aq Shipley dove into what

919
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 5: the Cardinals can expect going against those two.

920
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 10: You gotta understand that they're gonna make plays. I think

921
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 10: that's the biggest thing when you play a guy like that,

922
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 10: you have to understand they're gonna make plays. You can't

923
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 10: let your confidence waiver. You can't let your confidence get

924
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 10: down at all. You have to play bend but don't break,

925
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 10: but still be confident in your abilities. And you can't

926
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 10: really take the old Bill Belichick method of hey, we're

927
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 10: gonna bracket their best player because you bracket him and

928
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 10: then all of a sudden you're one on one with

929
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 10: one A on the other side.

930
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase leads the team in receptions and receiving yards.

931
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 5: He's the most targeted player in the league period, second

932
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 5: in receptions, fourth and receiving yards. T Higgins, though, is

933
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 5: the one who has the touchdowns. He's got ten. Jamar

934
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 5: Chase has five. But again to AQ's point, to take

935
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 5: one away Zach Well, then there's someone else on the

936
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 5: other side.

937
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 7: I wrote an article for Acycardinals dot Com about the

938
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 7: Goldfish mindset mentality that a lot of these cornerbacks need

939
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 7: to have, and I wrote about that after the game

940
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 7: against the Los Angeles Rams where Pooka Nakool was able

941
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 7: to go off, and I spoke with Will Johnson and

942
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 7: he said, those plays that I wasn't able to make,

943
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 7: you've seen me make them, so I'm confident in myself.

944
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 7: Denzel Burke as well. You've been able to see Denzel

945
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 7: make tons of different plays. He's the first cornerback since

946
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 7: Patrick Peterson to have three interceptions in a season so

947
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 7: far as a rookie, so it's impressive to see what

948
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 7: he's been able to what he's been able to do.

949
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 7: T Higgins, Jamar Chase, They're gonna get There's Chase Brown,

950
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 7: He's gonna get his. This is a very good Bengals

951
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 7: offense that has not had Joe Burrow for majority of

952
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 7: the season. Now they're starting to click a little bit.

953
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 7: Now for them, it doesn't really matter because the playoffs

954
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 7: are out of the picture. But you that's a team

955
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 7: that wants to build on their confidence and they want

956
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 7: to try to utilize the Cardinals young secondary to give

957
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 7: them that confidence going to the offseason. On the flip side,

958
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 7: that you need Will Johnson, you need Denzel Burke to

959
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 7: have that sort of you know, that aura, that ump

960
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 7: that that's going to help them propel them as they're

961
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 7: going to that year two jump that you hope to

962
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 7: see from these guys.

963
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 6: Aura or riz What would it be?

964
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 4: Would it be?

965
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 7: I think it would be Aura because I don't think

966
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 7: they're trying to hit on any of these guys. Rizz

967
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 7: is typically a way of showing affection. Goal I knew

968
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 7: that culture has taken its new level.

969
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 6: To read here that he just anybody who's not in

970
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 6: the eighteen to thirty four demo. I just thought you

971
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 6: were better equipped to explain it, That's all. Did I

972
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 6: do a good job explaining on Friday? I really don't

973
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 6: know either way. I'll just trust you. On Friday I

974
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 6: asked Johnathangan and what more you want to see out

975
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 6: of Will Johnson? He said, poa point of attack. You

976
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 6: don't hear that very often with corners because to Zax's point,

977
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 6: he was stride for stride with Pool a lot. Bole

978
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 6: won the contested catch battle.

979
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 3: Well.

980
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 6: I thought Will Johnson did a really good job of

981
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 6: battling back and beating Drake London and even Kyle Pitts

982
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 6: at times against Atlanta. A couple of.

983
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 5: Passes defense for Will Johnson defending both Drake London and

984
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 5: Kyle Pitts on Sunday of the Challenge this week again

985
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase and Ti Higgins coming.
