00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Strap on the boots and scrape up the knuckles. Oh

Speaker 1: what ahead, he got jacked. This is the Big Red

Speaker 1: Rain presented by Santanford in Gilbert. Mary's gonna score touchdown?

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: Slam to the ground by Buddha Baker Like a torpedo.

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,880

Speaker 1: doesn't get any better than that. Unleash the far. Week

13
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: seven for the Arizona Cardinals is about more than just

14
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: saving the season, Ron Wolfley, It's about saving the nation

15
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: from Thursday night football. Oh no, this country has a

16
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: lot of problems as we speak here in twenty twenty two,

17
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: and right up there we say we proclaim bad ball

18
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday nights. Somebody has to step up and save

19
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: this nation from bad football on Thursday nights. How about

20
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: last Thursday night you had Washington beat in Chicago twelve seven,

21
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: as the Bears were the first team in twenty three

22
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: years to have at least three Goldi goal drives in

23
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: a game and score on none of them. And when

24
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: they dig a forty yard score late in the game,

25
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: it snapped a stretch of over one hundred seven minutes

26
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: of game action on consecutive Thursday night football games without

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Think about that, Because we all watched the

28
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Colts and Broncos foil around in Week five, and that

29
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: twelve nine overtime win by the Colts were Broncos fans

30
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: left in a tie game right before overtime. That was

31
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: absolutely brutal, Paul or brutalfal. If you're a purist, Paully, listen,

32
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: can I tell you right now the thing that's got

33
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: me all jacked up about this Thursday night matchup tomorrow

34
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: is just the fact that Arizona Cardinals finally have met

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: another team that has an injury report as bad as

36
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: their man. Okay, finally they are playing another team that

37
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: has an injury report as bad as Arizona Cardinals. It

38
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: is the big Red rage presented by santan Ford and

39
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: Gilbert We are santan Ford, Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley, soon

40
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: to be joined by Cardinals insider Darren Urban. Twas the

41
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: night before Thursday Night Football, and already the Saints have

42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: declared out Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, their top cover corner,

43
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: one of the best in the game, Marshawn Lattimore. They're

44
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: starting left guard andrews Pete and their starting tight end

45
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: Adam Troutman Jamis Winston not expected to play, and Dalton

46
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: expected to be the quarterback. He's not one hundred percent

47
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: he'll make his four straight start. So, yes, the Saints

48
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: are banged up El Grande and you know what, hey,

49
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals at this point at two and four, they'll take it,

50
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: will they not? Yeah, Paul, you know, honestly, today they

51
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: actually made the announcements on some of the guys that

52
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: were out for the Saints, and I broke a Wolfley rule.

53
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: I did. I broke a role. I actually was like, yes,

54
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: cheering for the fact that you're gonna have Marshawn Lattimore out,

55
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Jarvis Landry out and Michael Thomas out.

56
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: And I literally cheered for that, and I felt like

57
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: I was an inch tall after that right there, as

58
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: a former player, PAULI you want that, man, you know,

59
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: give me the other guy's best. Don't worry about it. Yeah,

60
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be unless it's Lawrence Taylor that you worry

61
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: about it. But you know what, give me the other

62
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: team's best guys and we're gonna go out there and

63
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna beat him. I don't want to beat a

64
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: team because they were assimated by injury. Well, you know what, Paul,

65
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: what changes all that is being two and four right

66
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: now and playing the way the Cardinals have played. Man,

67
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: I'll take any break that Cardinals can get right now

68
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: because they have been decimated by injuries as well. And

69
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: they'll definitely take the return of DeAndre Hopkins the D

70
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: and D hops standing for debut. He is back and

71
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: just in time because they just lost Hollywood Brown for

72
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: at least a month's That's just part of the Cardinals

73
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: injury report. They also lost Justin Pugh in a game

74
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: they lost at Seattle and Wolf you heard it after

75
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: the game in our postgame radio interview. I'm here to

76
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: tell you, as a first media member into that locker

77
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: room guys were not happy. They were not happy after

78
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: a nineteen nine loss at Seattle, where you had won

79
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: five of your last seven. Your offense went out there,

80
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: managed three points against the worst defense in the league,

81
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: at least statistically, and even though there were certain guys

82
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: who played really well, like Zaven Collins, the mood was

83
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: not joyous at all. In fact, here's your middle linebacker

84
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: after the game. I think a lot of guys are

85
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: just pissed off because we lost. You know, we got

86
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: to see how we're practicing too, what we're doing, and

87
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: go fix it. Something's got to change, you know. If

88
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: we do the same thing over and over again and

89
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: then he expects a different outcome, it's gonna it's what's

90
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: called insanity. You're not gonna get anything from it. You

91
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: care to speculate what needs to change? Doctor Wolfley, how

92
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: do you diagnose this? Two and four records so far? Yeah, Polly,

93
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: and I'll get to that momentarily. I just want to say,

94
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm so glad to hear Zavan Collins say that they

95
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: were poled. I'm so glad to hear that he was

96
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: saying guys were really really upset, and guys were angry.

97
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Right now, Polly, I can tell you I've got a

98
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: PhD in losing, as you well know, a decade of

99
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: course of futility. I've been on a lot of football

100
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: teams that were bad, a lot of football teams that

101
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: went out and lost games, and guys would come in

102
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: and guess what, they weren't poed, they weren't mad, they

103
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: weren't ready to rank anything. So much of the time

104
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: I did not feel comfortable ever being in that type

105
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: of situation. Yet I was in it over and over

106
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: and over again. So let me just first acknowledge the

107
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: fact that I'm glad there are guys that are willing

108
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: to chuck their helmet from time to time. I'm glad

109
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: there are guys where the veins sticks out of the

110
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: side of their neck from time to time and start

111
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: screaming things. I'm really glad. There are guys that look

112
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: at two and four and think this is ridiculous, this

113
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: is not who we are. I'm glad there are guys

114
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: that are upset by that. Having said that, PAULI and

115
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: it's really bid is more difficult. It's been the last

116
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: two games too. Let me just say there was some

117
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: passion after the Laws at home against the Eagles. It

118
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: was audible, it was visible, it was visceral, it was palpable,

119
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: all the above. So it's not for a lack of

120
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: effort or want to. But again, and sorry it's already intrude,

121
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, what do you do? Where do you channel

122
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: all that frustration? Yeah, it's a great question, man, But honestly,

123
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: let it be channeled on the line of scrimmage because

124
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: this isn't going to be news to anybody. I just

125
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: will continue to say this over and over and over again.

126
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: I do believe the Arizona Cardinals needs to do a

127
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: better job of attacking the line of scrimmage in a

128
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: north south way offensively. I think this will help their team.

129
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: This will help their team become less predictable, even though

130
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: you are actually becoming more predictable if you put your

131
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: quarterback under center. I think Kyler has got to accept this.

132
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't know who is dragging their feet on it.

133
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: To me, this is just my opinion. It doesn't make

134
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: me right. It's just my opinion. I think they've got

135
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: to do that. They've got to expand their offense and

136
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: be a little bit more diverse. I think of the

137
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. I don't know if you've seen the Atlanta

138
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: Falcons play football at all, but I love the fact

139
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: they'll take Marcus Mariota, guy that is a dual thread

140
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and not the quarterback that Kyler Murray is, and

141
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: they'll stick him under center for a third of the

142
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: snaps and then the shotgun and then the pistol. All

143
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: of that comes together, I think to make your offense

144
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: more diverse. And that's what this offense needs, in my opinion,

145
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: is diversity. They have to be more diverse in the

146
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: schemes that they use. And if you do that and

147
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: run the ball in a more north south way, I

148
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: think it will clear things up for Kyler, especially knowing

149
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. It's going to be back tomorrow night. It

150
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: was interesting Vance Joseph in his weekly meeting with the

151
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: media was just asked about offenses in general and I

152
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: egos about game planning, and he said, I always start

153
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: with the offensive line of the opponent, because he said,

154
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: that's how you can dictate a game. He said, if

155
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: you can run the ball, you can play action pass,

156
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: you can get four yards per run. It allows you

157
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: to dictate the game. This is Vance Joseph. I almost

158
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: wondered if it was reverse psychology and perhaps sending a

159
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: message just talking about everything that an offense could and

160
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: should do what he sees in New Orleans, for example,

161
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: and he said, if you can't block up front, you

162
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: can't play offense in this league. It was interesting what

163
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: he had to say about that. And then of course

164
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: you has asked about this short week and how you

165
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: get a defense ready. Here's a defensive coordinator, Vance Joseph.

166
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: On a short week like this, your system has to

167
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: take over. We install some things about him a week

168
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: ago that we put in for this game. You know,

169
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: so the guy's been running a little bit in practice

170
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: and not running in the game. So as far as

171
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: putting in new schemes, that adn't happen in this week, right,

172
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: So the things that you've been good at, you you've

173
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: pushed those things out in to meet advantage this defense

174
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: because obviously it's on our terms we can bring pressure,

175
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: we cannot bring pressure. So to me, it's an advantage

176
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: for defense to play any short weeks. Interesting in a

177
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: couple of accounts. Number one, that the ball is in

178
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: his court and you know how aggressive he likes to

179
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: be and how he tries to dictate a game based

180
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: on his calls. And then number two, they start putting

181
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: stuff in last week getting ready for New Orleans. And

182
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: this offense, which has been run heavy, has it not, Wolf,

183
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: I mean, been one of the best rushing offenses in

184
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, No, they are. I think they are

185
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: an elite team in terms of running the ball. Number

186
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: seven in rushing yards per game and number three and

187
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: rushing yards per play, Pauli. The New Orleans Saints know

188
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: how to run the ball, and they do it not

189
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: only on the perimeter, but also in a north south

190
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: kind of way. Yeah. Just listening to Vance Joseph right there.

191
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: As soon as he said, you know, putting in new schemes,

192
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: We're never gonna put in news games. That's when I

193
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: think a coach is gonna put in gamesmanship. That's what

194
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Paully. You never, never, whenever I hear a coach,

195
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: especially one who is as bright as Vance Joseph, what

196
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: I hear say, Well, you know who's crazy? People put

197
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: in schemes during a Thursday night week attention to New Orleans.

198
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: Everything you see on film, that's all you're gonna see.

199
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: That's all you're gonna get. That's all we have. Yeah,

200
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: I'm not buying that either. I totally agree. And look,

201
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: just because they have a lot of guys banged doesn't

202
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: mean New Orleans doesn't have weapons. Doesn't mean they haven't

203
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: been putting points on the board. They just beat the

204
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks two weeks ago thirty nine thirty two. They put

205
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: twenty six on the board. Against the Bengals. They led

206
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: that whole game basically fifty eight to sixty minutes, and

207
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: then they collapsed at the very end. Obviously, they have

208
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: an Alvin Kamara who's at one hundred and sixty yards

209
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: from scrimmage each the last two games on average. Crystal

210
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: lave is back the eleventh pick overall. So they got dudes,

211
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: and then the Tayson mill has been very effective. We'll

212
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: get into all that. What else the Cardinals have to

213
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: worry about? What Darren urban next? Join us at the

Speaker 1: a bad left side of the end zone and in

231
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: his cord for a touchdown. Fight the hop the hops fought.

232
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: It looks right. Throws a deep ball right side in

233
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: the end zone, pen it's caught, hits a touchdown, touchdown

234
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. How many times have we said recently, DeAndre

235
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: Hopkins ain't walking through that door. Well, not only has

236
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: he walked through that door, he's in that locker room

237
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: and he'll be on that field Thursday night football. It's

238
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: Week seven on the Big Red Rage presented by santan

239
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: Ford in Gilbert, we are santan Ford, Paul Kelv c

240
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley and joined by Cardinals insider Darren Urban. Darren,

241
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: you can confirm the sighting of one DeAndre Hopkins not

242
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: only in the locker room, but on the practice field. Correct,

243
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: that is correct. He's been on the practice field that actually,

244
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean technically, Paul, he's been in the locker room

245
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: for a number of weeks. Now, I'm surprised you haven't

246
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier. Well, you know, when I say walk

247
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: through that door, I want to make sure that he

248
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: can actually walk through the door that leads to the

249
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: game field before I bring it up. That's a fair point.

250
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: And Wolf, we all know his value everybody. Now, Over

251
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, the Cardinals wit de hop

252
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: are eight and two in averaging more than thirty points

253
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: per game. Yeah, you know, Paul. Once again, it's not

254
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: just his tangibles as well. We all know about DeAndre Hopkins.

255
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: We all know about his ability to catch the football,

256
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: does it extremely well. His ability to run routes. It's

257
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: not like he's a great route runner. It's an amazing

258
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: thing to See, it's not like he's a great route runner.

259
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: All he does is get open. That's all he does

260
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: is get open. And then when you throw him the ball,

261
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: even a contested catch of fifty fifty ball is really

262
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: an eighty twenty hop ball at that point in time.

263
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: There's so many tangibles that he brings to the field.

264
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: But you know what, guys, he also loads up that

265
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: swag bag. And that's what I love. He brings a

266
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: lot of swag to this offense. And guess what, I

267
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: think this offense needs that, especially tomorrow. I mean, last

268
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: time we saw him, think about it, he was losing

269
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the swag in the Tennessee joint practice when he told

270
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Aj Green, I'm gonna go out here and start clowning

271
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: guys with one hand in grabs, and that's exactly what

272
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: he did to Titans dbs. He's that kind of guy. Look,

273
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: we all know what DeAndre Hopkins is and we all

274
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: know what he brings to the table. And no, he's

275
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: not the miracle cures as Kyler was saying earlier in

276
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: the week, and he's not the savior, as Cliff Kingsbury

277
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: said today, But he goes a long way towards those things,

278
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: I would think, and I do think he's going to

279
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: make a rather large difference in the offense. Now. They

280
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: have struggled to the point where I mean, if he

281
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: would have come back last week after the Philly game,

282
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: I would have been a little bit more like, Okay,

283
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: this he could turn the corner. They took a step

284
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: back last week in Seattle that just seemed very weird.

285
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was the timing or

286
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: or what exactly it was why they played the way

287
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: they did. But there obviously are things offensively that they

288
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: need to fix beyond hop, but having hop is definitely

289
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: a good start. And look, this is the ultimate intangible.

290
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: But remember at a Q Shipley on the Big Red

291
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: Rage not too long ago, guys, and he said the

292
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: thing about Tom Brady and winning a ring with Tampa

293
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: was that nobody wanted to disappoint Tom Brady, that he

294
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: raised the level of expectations. A Kurd Warner did that

295
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: around here once upon the time. Carson Palmer did that

296
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: around here running a Friday practice himself on a game week.

297
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: So I thought it was interesting when Cliff Kingsbury told

298
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: the media earlier today, he said everyone picks up their level.

299
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Knowing the expectation that hop has for himself and for

300
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: this team, is hop that guy wolf could hut? Usually

301
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: it's the quarterback, but in this case, could Hop be

302
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: that guy? A much needed guy who expects more out

303
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: of everyone. Right now? Well, first of all, I do

304
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: believe DeAndre Hopkins is a future Hall of Famer. Okay,

305
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: that's that's my take on that. I don't know you

306
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: guys feel on that. But once again, just like JJ Watt,

307
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: who walks out onto the field and every time he

308
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: takes the field, um, he's one game closer to actually

309
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: being in the Hall of Fame. As far as I'm concerned,

310
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: everyone knows that. All his teammates know that. I know

311
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: what it's like. I played guys with with Kevin Mack,

312
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you guys hold him in

313
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: regard the way that I do. You probably don't. But

314
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: having said that, Kevin Mack was a great, great football player,

315
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: and just playing in blocking with him, Jerome Bettis blocking

316
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: for Jerome Bettis. Let me tell you right now, you

317
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: you hit that hole. And I never needed anyone else

318
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: to try to motivate me and get me ready to play.

319
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: Yet I will admit that the presence of Jerome Bennis

320
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 1: and Kevin Mack and blocking for them totally took me

321
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: to a level I didn't even know I was capable of.

322
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: I honestly think the same thing appliance J. J. Watt

323
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: has this impact on the players around him. DeAndre Hopkins

324
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: has that impact on the players around him. And every

325
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: great player that isn't a jerk, and I mean that sincerely,

326
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: every great player that steps onto the field that isn't

327
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: a jerk has the same type of impact on his teammates. Well,

328
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: hop did say he felt bad about letting his teammates

329
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: down the sixth game suspension for performance enhancers. He does

330
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: still maintain his innocence to a large degree, and does

331
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: still maintain that more will come out after the end

332
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: of the season. But for now, Here's de hop When

333
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: he was asked just about his mood and whether he

334
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: got down during the suspension. I've been through, you know,

335
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: a lot of hard things in life, man, a lot

336
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: of mishaps. So you know, football is obviously a game

337
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: that I love his heart to play it, but when

338
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: you deal with real life, you know, growing up, you know,

339
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: obviously I felt like I let my team down. But

340
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't something that I was gonna, you know, let

341
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: myself mentally get down, knowing that we have eleven games

342
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: to play when I get back. Let's keep it real

343
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: de I mean, what do you expect? What's a realistic expectation?

344
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: You know, one day and you're like, man, this guy's

345
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: coming into week seven. He didn't you have a real

346
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: practice week. I mean even Cliff Kingsbury said he hasn't

347
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: played real ball, live ball against a corner in a

348
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: full contact, full football situation in nearly a year. So

349
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: what's realistic? Well, I mean it is football. When we

350
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: say what's realistic? Ultimately, to me that means what is

351
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: what are you comfortable letting him do? What is Buddy

352
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: Morris and the strength and conditioning coaches comfortable letting him

353
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: do in a football scenario? What are the is the

354
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: coaching staff comfortable? What? I mean? It's realistic for him

355
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: to play the whole game. Why wouldn't it. He's healthy

356
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: and he's been working out. Now, whether he's super effective

357
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: in a football setting doing that is a different question.

358
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: It's you know, are you going to be able to

359
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: get him open? Is he going to be ready to

360
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: create that separation as much as he can, or is he,

361
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: as he was pointing out this week how much he

362
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: did this early in twenty twenty one before he started

363
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: getting hurt. Is he I don't want to call him

364
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: a decoy, but is he more of a drawing the

365
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: rest of the defense so that other guys are making plays,

366
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: which he did very well last year. So you know,

367
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: he could have a huge impact and play a lot

368
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: and still not have giant statistical numbers. That all said,

369
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: it's a short week, Thursday night games overall in the

370
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: NFL that usually do not lead to giant offensive games,

371
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: especially recently. We've already documented out. You know, I don't

372
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I don't know exactly what to

373
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: expect the way Kyler is playing right now, dropping him

374
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: in there, whether Robbie Anderson plays role, but I'll be stunned,

375
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: quite frankly, if he doesn't have eight targets, at least

376
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: eight targets. All right, Well, speaking to Kyler, here you go,

377
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: Wolf here he is. Of course, he was asked about

378
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins this week, and Kyler said, hey, yeah, we're

379
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: very familiar. He's one of the best ever play so

380
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean that that that that speaks for himself. Everybody

381
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: loves him, you know, respects him, understands what he brings

382
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: to the team. When he's out there. You gotta account

383
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: for him, so we we'll get him going. I'll say

384
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: this much. If there is one player in the NFL

385
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: who can play without practicing, DeAndre Hopkins has been that guy.

386
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: I'll just say that much, paul he can. I just

387
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: jump in here and say, why would this be a

388
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: surprise to anybody? Honestly, I will be surprised if DeAndre

389
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: Hopkins goes out there and shows any worse for wear

390
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: that he hasn't been playing the game of football. Because

391
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: the one thing DeAndre Hopkins is is a football player.

392
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: And not enough people really record guys that in him.

393
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: His attitude and the fact that again he brings so

394
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: much swag with him, and the accountability that he has

395
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: walking up to his teammates and telling his teammates what for, Paulie,

396
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: You've seen that yourself on the sideline. This guy, this

397
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: guy is a football player. He's gonna be rested if

398
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: anything else. He knows how to catch the football, doesn't

399
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: have any problem catching the ball. He knows how to

400
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: get open. I expect we're going to see DeAndre Hopkins.

401
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: I will be shocked if we don't see that. Well,

402
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: I have jokingly asked JJ Water earlier today, I said,

403
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute, if Thursday night football means everyone has

404
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: heavy legs and hop has the ultimate fresh legs coming

405
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: into this one, then what could that poor ten, what

406
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 1: could that mean? Right? And to Darren's point, it's not

407
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: all about you know, de Hop lighting up the box score.

408
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: He has other value. And you know who knows that,

409
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins himself, And he pointed that out to the media. Obviously,

410
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: one person can go out there and winning game, but

411
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: it does help having someone like myself out there who

412
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: can dictate a lot and you know, dictate how defense is,

413
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, playoffs. As he said a little bit later,

414
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: he said, you know what, there's a lot more to

415
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: football than just fantasy stats. I'm here to help create mismatches.

416
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: So how much do you think just the presence of

417
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: de hop creates a trickle down for the rest of

418
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense? Well, I mean, I think ultimately that's

419
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: that's what you're hoping all along, That's what you're talking

420
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: about possibly having and that's what you're you're counting on.

421
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: There's some trickle down, and again we don't know what

422
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: form that takes, whether it is the giant statistical game

423
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: like he did against San Francisco to open the twenty

424
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: twenty season, his first game where he and Kyler didn't

425
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of time because of COVID, and

426
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: then DeAndre Bareley practicing training camp, and then he had

427
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: what fourteen catches for one hundred and fifty yards, like

428
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: sixteen targets. So I mean, it could be that, and

429
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: or it could just be, hey, we're wrong, people away

430
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: from ron Dale Moore or Zach Ertz or maybe Robbie Anderson.

431
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what form it's going to take. I'm

432
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: curious to see what the Saints have out there. They

433
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: do have a solid defense, but they're going to be

434
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: missing their best cornerback. And you know, does Kyler have

435
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: time to be looking for DeAndre Hopkins with all the

436
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: injuries that the Cardinals have up front? And here's the

437
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: other thing, Well, we all know when he's covered, he's open.

438
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: If he's single covered, throw him the ball. It's one

439
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: of those rare guys like a Larry Fitzgerald, the quarterback,

440
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: has to keep that in mind. Yeah, Polly, but once again,

441
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: his impact on this team, it's it's not just throw

442
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: him the ball again, that's great, he will catch it.

443
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: But for me, Polly, it's the fact that he makes

444
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: the coverage very very clear to Kyler Murray. He simplifies

445
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's reads to a point where Kyler can spread

446
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: the ball all over the place. That was the one

447
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: thing he did well, you know the first seven games

448
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: when the Cardinals were seven and oh of course in rolling,

449
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: he cleared up secondaries for Kyler Murray. And that's what

450
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: I expect him to do, and I think Kyler will

451
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: spread the ball because of it. So we mentioned the

452
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: last couple of years with de Hoop, they've averaged thirty

453
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: plus a game. Without de Hoop, they've averaged nineteen point

454
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: four points per game. That is a huge difference in

455
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. We continue with a big red rage presented

456
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: by Santan four in Gilbert snapped a Smith drops back

457
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: to throw pressure in his face. He's in trouble and

458
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: he goes down. He's sacked back at the twenty one

459
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: yard line. Cam Thomas, the rookie first career sacked for

460
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas. Shotgun snapped Smith deep drop looking steps up

461
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: hit sack back at the thirteen yard line by Zaban Collins.

462
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: First career sack for Zavan Collins in trouble and it's

463
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: by J. Sanders back there for the sack taking down

464
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: Geno Smith. Great speed for by J. Sanders, the rookie

465
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati off the edge getting his first NFL sack.

466
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Back to past goes Smith. There comes my J. Sanders.

467
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: Smith gets out of there though he's running far side.

468
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: Then Zaven Collins sacks him at the twenty. Good pursued

469
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: by Savan Collins. About Savan Collins the two sacks, I

470
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: mean he just loaded up the stat sheet. He had

471
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: nine tackles the team. I had two tackles for Laws,

472
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: two quarterback hits, a past defense and then you're heard

473
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: the first career sacks for the two round three rookies

474
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: and Cameron Thomas, my J. Sanders. What did a Cliff

475
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: Kingsbury called my J. Sanders this week? The prototype wolf?

476
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: That could be a nickname in you know, work on

477
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: that wolf. I can't do everything around here. There would

478
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: be a potential nickname for you on the big Red

479
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 1: Rage presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert Paul kelvc Ron

480
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: wolf Lee, Darren Urban and a Cardinals defense that Darren

481
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: you tell us, I mean, they've allowed twenty points or

482
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: fewer each of the last four games. That's winning football

483
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: in today's NFL? Is it not? It really should be,

484
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: shouldn't it? Yeah? I mean look, I mean if you

485
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: would have told anybody for this season, quite frankly, if

486
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: this defense was going to be giving up twenty points

487
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: a game or fewer, I mean, you would have thought

488
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: that this team was going to win a lot of games.

489
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: And the fact that they've done it in four straight

490
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: games and gotten one win out of it is stunning

491
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. And and it's it's kind

492
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: of where we are. I mean, you nobody, nobody thought

493
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: this defense was the kind of defense that was going

494
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: to be holding teams to sixteen points a game or anything.

495
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: And I don't even know if that's necessarily possible in

496
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: today's NFL. But the job they're doing now and who

497
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: they're doing it with, and we you know, we heard

498
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: the my J Sanders stuff in the rejoin and Zaven

499
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: Collins played well last week and they're starting to get

500
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: some production out of these younger players. The secondary of

501
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks have held up pretty well. Yeah, and they've

502
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: done an excellent job against the top receivers on other teams.

503
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: So again, this this is why I think, Look, there

504
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: would be a lot of concern and teeth gnashing over

505
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: this offense anyways, but I think it's just compounded by

506
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: the fact you see what the job the defense has

507
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: done and know that quite frankly, the Cardinals have missed

508
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: out on some opportunities. If their offense was just middle

509
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: of the road at this point, they'd be in much

510
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: better shape. I mean, you talk about receivers and non factors.

511
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: About dk metcalf Wolf and Tyler Lockett combined for four

512
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: catches on fifty one yards on twelve targets. Once again,

513
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: Man's Joseph taken away the other team's best weapon. Yeah,

514
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, that is something he's done a very

515
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: very good job of. Here in Byron Murphy as well.

516
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy is having a Pro Bowl season right now. Now,

517
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: I realize it's only through six games, and I think

518
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy, I remember talking about Byron Murphy in the

519
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: first two thirds of last season as maybe the most

520
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: improved player on the team, and he kind of tailed

521
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: off at the end. I get that that he wasn't

522
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: alone in that regard. There were a lot of players

523
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: doing it. But this year, right now, the defense, to me,

524
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: what a surprise, What a pleasant surprise it is, and

525
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: it is filled guys with a bunch of young guys

526
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: that are making plays. Derby were talking about it a

527
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: little bit, but Zaven Collins gets me excited. He gets

528
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: me excited because his arrow is pointing way up. There

529
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: were a couple of games, in a couple of plays

530
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: in the Rams game that I was really disappointed in

531
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: Zaven Collins. And yet I will tell you right now,

532
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: Zaven Collins has responded to that challenge of a couple

533
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: of bad plays and gone on to play much more

534
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: consistently from that point forward. And I love listening to

535
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: him as well, guys, because you can just hear the

536
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: maturity in his voice. He's getting on top of these

537
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: schemes and that's giving him a lot of confidence. You know,

538
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: Zach Allen told us a couple of weeks ago here

539
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: in the Big Red Rage. When it comes to Zaven Collins,

540
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: the NFL is a long way from the AAC and

541
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: we're Tulsa plays football. It's a vastly different brand of football,

542
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: and for that reason, it takes some guys longer to

543
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: get acclimated, especially when you're in a thinking position like

544
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: mic linebacker and calling the defense. In fact, Van's Joseph

545
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: tried to explain that to the media this week. They've

546
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: got to play to get better, obviously, but you know,

547
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: the question for a coach is, you know, is it

548
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: is it worth those four or five places they want

549
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: to lose the game? Obviously that's a balancing knight for

550
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: a coach. You know, some guys get it quicker than others.

551
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: It takes some guys longer, but once they get it,

552
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: they get it and they play well. But I think

553
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 1: with Cam and Zaven and Isaiah and Sanders, it's been

554
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: a good timeline. It's been on their terms, I should say,

555
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's what he wanted a coach.

556
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: I read into that, just the whole risk reward thing, right, Darren.

557
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: You know, they're never going to be completely ready. They're

558
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to learn on the job, just some degree.

559
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: But they can't be such a liability that they're directly

560
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: responsible for losing you a game. Well, and that's that's

561
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: with every I mean, it doesn't have to be a

562
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: young player. That's that's the measurement of any player. Is

563
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: it worth having them out there for whatever reason? And

564
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of where they were, and you know, they

565
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: they let Devon Knard go and I think in part

566
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: because it was time to start getting these guys a

567
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: little bit more playing time. And I think it's going

568
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: to make a big difference now. As JJ Watt made

569
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: the point at his locker this week, you know, they're

570
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: not putting them out there for twenty snaps. They're putting

571
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: them out there just enough. And these players know, Okay,

572
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm out here for this limited amount of time. Let's

573
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: make the most of what I'm doing out here. And

574
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: in Seattle, that absolutely happened. I mean, if you would

575
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: have told me after the game that my J Sanders

576
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: had played less intense snaps, I would have been surprised

577
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: because it felt like he played more because I thought

578
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: he made enough of an impact. Enough things happened that

579
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: I noticed, you know, Cam Thomas to a lesser extent,

580
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: and certainly Zavan Collins, who is now playing one hundred

581
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: percent the snaps every week and he has been. He's

582
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: definitely I go back to him for a minute, and

583
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: I just think to myself. The narrative at the beginning

584
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: of the season was, especially right before the season, was

585
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: Zaven Collins, What what is this team doing? Why did

586
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: they let Jordan Hicks go? Why are they letting Zaven

587
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: Collins play? And obviously the first week didn't go all

588
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: that great for anybody on the defense, but that's completely disappeared,

589
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: and it's disappeared for Zaven Collins in a big way.

590
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: Not because people are talking about the offense or whatever.

591
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: It's disappeared because he's doing a solid job right now.

592
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: And there you can't talk about that because it's not

593
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: a thing. I mean, think about it. The Seahawks plin

594
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: nineteen points on the board after they had just scored

595
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: thirty nine on New Orleans and forty eight against Detroit, right,

596
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean they you know it was thirty two against

597
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: New Orleans actually, and Gino Smith under two hundred yards

598
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: passing zero touchdown passes. So look overall, obviously the Cardinals

599
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: defense is dialed it in, and that's what JJ Watt

600
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: was talking about today. We've been doing a good job

601
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: of just trying to put ourselves in situations for success.

602
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: I think our dbs have done a great job of

603
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: taking away number one receivers. I think that the d

604
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: line has had a good job against the run. Last week,

605
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: we had a couple of big ones that we'd like back,

606
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: But for the most part, we've done a good job.

607
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 1: But I think that we can always do more. And

608
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: I think that in this league, I control what you

609
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: can control, and I think that as a defense, we've

610
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: got to find a way to keep him even less points.

611
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we've held you know, twenty one

612
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: points or less for a few weeks now, and we've

613
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: got to try and do a better job of keeping

614
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: it even lower. What else will I what sort of

615
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: challenge this week against New Orleans, especially with that sort

616
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: of rushing attack. Yeah, you know, it's going to be

617
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: really really interesting right now because we don't even know

618
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is going to be. It looks like

619
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton as it stands. We'll probably see that at

620
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: some point in time, Andy Dalton going out there, but

621
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: he's all banged up with a back. Jamis Winston, of course,

622
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: was a possibility. I don't know if he's been rolled

623
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: out as of right now, but I think we're going

624
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: to get an awful lot of Taysom Hill. That's what

625
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see. And that's where the Saints

626
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: become a little bit of a question mark. You don't know.

627
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: They run the ball extremely well in between the tackles

628
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: when the Hill is out there, but he can also

629
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: throw the ball and I expect to see him a

630
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: lot more actually than Andy Dalton. That quarterback. He has

631
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: four rushing touchdowns, which is like tied for fourth in

632
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, and he's averaging better than ten yards of carry.

633
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, who they list is a tight end, but

634
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: they play him all over and we've seen him throw

635
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. You saw him rip off a sixty yard

636
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: or against Seattle a couple of weeks ago, and so

637
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: it'll be an interesting dynamic. Then of course they have

638
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: christ O Lobby, who is coming back the eleventh pick overall,

639
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: and once again, you figure, because we've seen quite a

640
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: bit of this d is Byron Murphy probably locking up

641
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: against christ O Lobby because they are minus Michael Thomas

642
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: and Jarvis Landry. What's funny is is Taysom Hill is

643
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: listed is a tight end and he doesn't. He's not,

644
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: but he he's only played I think I think my

645
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: number it was he's got thirty five snaps a quarterback,

646
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: and he's got thirty three snaps other places, so he's

647
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: already I mean, I understand when he's at quarterback it's

648
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: a wildcat kind of situation. Although he's he's he's throwing

649
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: a handful of passes. But the fact that they don't

650
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: have either their top two quarterbacks and they still have

651
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: a guy who's got significant playing time at the position

652
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: in this league is a huge deal for the Saints.

653
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: You know, whether he's the guy who starts out there,

654
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: they try and use Andy Dalton and they split time

655
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: with the hell I'm not sure. I do think this.

656
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: I think that they're hurting on the offensive side of

657
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: the ball, which plays into this defense and again puts

658
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: the onus on this Cardinals offense saying, Okay, I don't

659
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a very high bar in

660
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: terms of points needed to win this game. You better

661
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: get out there and do some of that red zone.

662
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: That's my key to the game. I'm just calling her

663
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: right now. I don't need to wait until moments before kickoff.

664
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: The Saints ran for two twenty eight last week as

665
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: a team, but they were one for five in the

666
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: red zone. They got inside the twenty four times and

667
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: end up with fuel goals. Cardinals who have been three

668
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: of eleven in the red zone in the past four games.

669
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Wolf and we know how bad a look. Basically the

670
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: thirty in against Seattle. It was not good. And so

671
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: we'll see maybe Rodrigo Blankenship the new kicker, might be

672
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: a resolution to some of that. Yeah, you know what

673
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: for me, Paulie, it's the big red zone and that

674
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: includes Marco Wilson, Zavan Collins, Isaiah Simmons, Zach Allen, Richard Lawrence,

675
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson. Now, I mean six young guys that the

676
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals are building around on the defensive side of the ball.

677
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: That's a big red zone. Nice. Hey, you know else

00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: and let him go run underneath him. Yeah, that's a

686
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: good combo speed and size. Robbie Anderson courtesy the Carolina

688
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. Ron Wolfley were wondering, geez, how many

689
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: seventy five plus yard touchdowns does he have in his

690
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: NFL career? The answer would be four. He's in his

691
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: seventh season, former undrafted rookie free agent out of Temple.

692
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: He played with the likes of guys in that locker

693
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: room from that can. Michael Dogby, he played with him.

694
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: I talked a little bit to the Cardinals d Lineman.

695
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: He said, you know, he said he remembered him running

696
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: a four two. While I looked it up. He ran

697
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: a four three six at his pro day. Robbie Anderson

698
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: the newest Arizona Cardinal, and here on the Big Red

701
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: Tech needs the big play, something fierce does it not, Wolf, Yeah, no,

702
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: it does, Polly. And that's why it was so frustrating

703
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: when Hollywood was injured the way that he was. Now

704
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: it's good news, of course that he is going to

705
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: be back, should be back before the end of the season,

706
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: of course, substantially so. But it was just such a

707
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: downer because you wanted to see the speed over the

708
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: top of d Hop, knowing d Hop was going to

709
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: play tomorrow night, and to make this kind of move.

710
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: Some people actually were on Twitter, of course, and it

711
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: called it desperate to make this kind of move. And

712
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: for me, you got that right, ding ding ding. They're

713
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: desperate right now to not change the dynamics of this offense.

714
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: Think about this right here, Polly, just for a second, Okay,

715
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: bear with me on this splitting out Marquise Hollywood Brown wide.

716
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: This courtesy of ESPN stats and information that happens seventy

717
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: one percent of the time. Robbie Anderson actually has been

718
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: split out since twenty nineteen. Now, Robbie Anderson has been

719
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: split out wide seventy two percent of the time, So

720
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: Hollywood seventy one and Robbie Anderson seventy two. Thirty nine

721
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Hollywood ran a deep route thirty

722
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: nine percent of the time. Robbie Anderson thirty eight percent

723
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: of the time. Come on runs they literally pull. They

724
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: went out and got a guy, Steve Kim went out

725
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: and got a guy that does exactly what Hollywood basically does,

726
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: or at least does that theoretically. He's got He's got

727
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: to get a little bit better in terms of catching

728
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: the ball down the field in my opinion. But Robbie

729
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 1: Anderson at this point to get him for a six

730
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: and a seventh a conditional draft picks that to me

731
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: was a slam dunk, and he's gonna cost you just

732
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: under seven hundred grand in the cap. I mean, Caroline

733
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: is the one who's left with a dead cap hit

734
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: of nineteen point four million. Ouch. So I'm with you

735
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: on that one. He's got size, he has speed, He

736
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: fills a definite need right now, and honestly, beyond Hollywood Brown,

737
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: where were you getting production out of your receiver? Core

738
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: consistent production. So I'll be honest with you, regardless of

739
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: the one month or six week injury to Hollywood Brown,

740
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: I'm on board with the acquisition or Robbie Anderson bring

741
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: it on. In fact, here's a Cliff Kingsbury and whether

742
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: we might see him on the short week after he

743
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: just arrived in the a Z. If we get him in,

744
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: we'll limit it, make sure he's confident. I don't want

745
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: his first experience to go out there against a really

746
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: good defense and not feel confident and you know, not

747
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: play up to what he's capable of. So if we

748
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: do it, it'll be very limited and make sure that

749
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: he knows it. So we'll see how it goes over

750
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours. I'm not sure how to

751
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: take that. I'm really not. I mean, it's plausible either way, like, Okay,

752
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: maybe he's not comfortable enough. But then again, Wolf, it

753
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: was a few years ago where we saw Kenyan Drake

754
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: show up on a short week a Thursday night football

755
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: game and he broke the huddle And every time he

756
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 1: broke the huddle or they went up to line of scrimmage,

757
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: he just walk over to Kyler say what's my assignment?

758
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: What am I doing? And he got like twenty touches

759
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: in the game, And you've got a carvel for like

760
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: three and a half days. Yes, listen, I fully expect

761
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going out with Cliff Cliff might

762
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: be might be engaging in that gamesmanship. I know one thing.

763
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: Why in the world would you tell your opponent what

764
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: it is you're gonna do exactly? Why would you ever

765
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: do that, whether it's good or bad, whether you don't

766
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: think he's going to play a lot or you do

767
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna play it a lot, why would you

768
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: ever divulge that kind of information. I don't know, so

769
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: I never I never trust a coach in what he

770
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: says publicly. That's just me, okay, But man, you remember

771
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: justin Murray, Paul? Of course he remember justin Murray. Of

772
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: course there's justin Murray. How many how many days before

773
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: he actually started at right tackle? Was it, Paul? I

774
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: think it was three, If I'm not mistaken. I think

775
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: we were counting it in hours actually not days. It

776
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: was incredible, I think Robbie Anderson, especially because yes, you're

777
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna limit his exposure, you'll limit his packages. I get that,

778
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: but man, run deep, Robby, Yes, this is what you're

779
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna do on this play. Right. It's not like suddenly

780
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna give him a lot of stuff. He's gonna

781
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: be in a package, and I expect to see him

782
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: a bit, if not a lot. In his career. He

783
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: has eleven touchdown catches of forty or more yards. So

784
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: he is a big play threat. It is legit. And

785
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: as for whether advance Joseph isn't going to bring anything

786
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: new to this game, whether we're gonna see Robbie Anderson

787
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 1: or not. You know what, the gloves are off. You've

788
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: lost eight in a row at home. The gloves are off.

789
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: Whatever you have to do, you Wolf, I mean cheering

790
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: on the Saints injury report. I mean whatever it takes

791
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: at this point. You need a w and if that

792
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: includes doing whatever we have to do against Taysom Hill,

793
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: which might be the real wildcard when he's running the

794
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: wildcat for the New Orleans Staatets considering all their other

795
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: injuries that JJ Watt was asked about the Saints do

796
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: at all player throwing in addition to running is an

797
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: an extra element, and I mean that's what he brings

798
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: to the table for them. I mean they haven't been

799
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred different packages. He's out there with

800
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 1: another quarterback, he's out there without another quarterback. He's out

801
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: there with multiple their tight ends. He's out there without

802
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, and when they can do that, there's it

803
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: creates a lot of different things that you can do.

804
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: But I think as a defense, that's where it's your

805
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: job to understand the assignment, simplify everything and play good football.

806
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: That's so fascinating right there, PAULI, because once again, you know,

807
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: if he's out there, he could line up anywhere. And

808
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: what does that mean. The personnel packages so much of

809
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: the time they involve tells depending on down in distance

810
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: and area of the field that you're on, and the

811
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: personnel packages a lot of times teams will have tendencies. Well,

812
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: when you've got a guy like Taysom Hill who could

813
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: line up anywhere for the most part, that's really really

814
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: difficult for a lot of defensive coordinators, especially Paul on

815
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: a short week. No doubt. As for that Saints defense,

816
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: everyone will recognize Tyrn Matthew. He has the Saints only

817
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: interception this year, so be out on that field leading

818
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: as he always does in the secondary. And then he

819
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: got local guy Cam Jordan, Cameron Jordan who has at

820
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: least twelve sacks and four of his last five seasons.

821
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: That's a big matchup Wolf. You have Cam Jordan going

822
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: against Kelvin Beecham off that right side of the Cardinals

823
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: old line, and then what is the state of the

824
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals old line? Exactly? What are they doing at center?

825
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: What exactly is a state of left guard now that

826
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: Justin Pugh has done for the year, Because I think

827
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: you pointed out on the broadcast, ever since Justin Peu

828
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: left the game in Seattle, the Cardinals production went right

829
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: down the dream. Yeah, you know what, Justin Pugh is

830
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 1: just one of those guys. He is the ultimate pro.

831
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: He is a guy. Okay, maybe he's not going to

832
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: go to a ton of Pro Bowls, maybe he's not

833
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: going to go into the Hall of Fame. This guy,

834
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is what professional football is all about.

835
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: A pros pro, if ever there was one Justin Pugh.

836
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: He goes out there and he does his job. He's

837
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: a great technician, and not only that, he's super smart

838
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: and helps guys around him do their job better. I

839
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: don't know if we're going to see Rodney Hudson. I

840
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,959
Speaker 1: would not be shocked, honestly, because I don't think Sean

841
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: Harlow grated out real well. Wolf. If they made a

842
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: move with the new guy, Billy Price at center, I'm

843
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on that. I just you know, something

844
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: I think has to change in that interioral line based

845
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: on what went down in Seattle. Yeah, I would agree

846
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: with that, PAULI. And also Cody Ford. Right, Cody Ford

847
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: is a possibility, so we'll see what happens there. He

848
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: has considered a game time decision. Same with James Conner.

849
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: We'll see. That would be big if you could get

850
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: James Connor back, especially if it's gonna be a physical

851
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: slugfest against New Orleans. We'll see. Hopefully they, you know,

852
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and Saints can save us from last two weeks.

853
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 1: We had a twelve seven barn burner with Washington beating

854
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: Chicago and then in overtime ye had the Colts beating

855
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: the Broncos twelve nine. So those of in the last

856
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: two Thursday Night games, well, if I think you're the

857
