Speaker 1: Yeah. Today. I don't know except how much he'll do today,
Speaker 1: but he should be. Uh feel like, are be good
Speaker 1: to go this week? What was Kang did Jordan will
Speaker 1: be out there today? Yeah, they'll be out there today.
Speaker 1: We're never just banged up a little bit from the game.
Speaker 1: He studied quarterbacks who who came up as Carson, Well,
Speaker 1: he hadn't come off the injury yet, so yeah, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: we looked at all guys that had, you know, been
Speaker 1: through things. I mean it really it was really a
Speaker 1: lot with our doctors. Was really we didn't study just quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: We studied acl injuries with our doctors. Ship Earlier in
Speaker 1: the season, you know, people were questioning Sam Bradford he
Speaker 1: was struggling and struggling a little bit. Do you feel
Speaker 1: like he's in a rhythm now where this is what
Speaker 1: you envisioned from? So no, I think it's Sam's as Again,
Speaker 1: I've seenk Sam progress as a season went along, and
Speaker 1: I don't think Sam or anybody in this building is
Speaker 1: concerned what other people's outside this building thought. Talking about
Speaker 1: Cards of Palmer is a building at the lint of
Speaker 1: scrimmage to checking several detections and the value of that.
Speaker 1: Do you see your system of evolving over time work
Speaker 1: to include more of that, or do we do that now?
Speaker 1: So that's a big misconception. Sam. Sam does a lot
Speaker 1: of things for us at the lint of scrimmage, does
Speaker 1: change it does a lot of layer everything at the
Speaker 1: lint of scrimmage. Yet, Yeah, relative to the rest of
Speaker 1: the league, I don't know what the rest of the
Speaker 1: league does. I know what we do know. All four
Speaker 1: backs at a carry last hard to do. I guess
Speaker 1: there's something that is there a game plan going game
Speaker 1: that we want to get so many by the field. Again,
Speaker 1: how it goes a lot of it depends, Yeah, how
Speaker 1: the game goes, you know, how where are you? You know,
Speaker 1: are you down? Are you throwing a lot more? Are
Speaker 1: you up? Are you running the ball a lot more?
Speaker 1: But you know, we had planned on going into last
Speaker 1: week's game of playing all four of those guys, and
Speaker 1: thus did a good job of getting those guys in season,
Speaker 1: very fury being part of it the last three games
Speaker 1: and having a big role. I mean, I don't we
Speaker 1: don't have any prediction. I'm not if you're asking me
Speaker 1: to predict for fantasy owners out there, what I think
Speaker 1: zach Ertz's production in the last three games are going
Speaker 1: to be I don't I mean really depends on people
Speaker 1: play him. If they want to double him and try
Speaker 1: to take him away, then that means the quarterback's got
Speaker 1: to go to somebody else. So well, he was hurt
Speaker 1: to start the year. You know, he had a core
Speaker 1: muscle injury that he had surgery on during camp, so
Speaker 1: I think that really kind of set him back in
Speaker 1: terms of where he was, um, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: coming to had a real good offseason program and we're excited,
Speaker 1: but you know, for him to have the production he
Speaker 1: has coming off of that injury in that surgery, I
Speaker 1: think it is pretty good. JIP is Arizona blitzeeing as
Speaker 1: much as they did last year, Yeah? More? Actually they
Speaker 1: lead the National Football League john in blitzing. You know,
Speaker 1: they blitz the most. I think they're at right at
Speaker 1: about fifty percent. So one out every two snaps somebody's
Speaker 1: coming um and they bring him from all different areas.
Speaker 1: So it's you know, they've continued what Todd was doing
Speaker 1: there and actually are doing it a little bit more.
Speaker 1: So it's something you know, we we had a high
Speaker 1: blitz number going into the Bills game, Um, and really
Speaker 1: had to prepare for that. You always have to prepare
Speaker 1: for blitz but you know, these last two opponents, the
Speaker 1: Bills and the Cardinals, are teams that really are going
Speaker 1: to come after you, and uh, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: big part of our preparation this week is trying to
Speaker 1: handle those those blitzes and how we're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to pick them up. He blitzed a lot of the
Speaker 1: edge were you just gotta have someone assigned him and
Speaker 1: kind of know where he is and then look at
Speaker 1: the coverage and see when he's coming. How good How
Speaker 1: good has he been playing this year? And how do
Speaker 1: they utilize the He's been playing very well. He plays
Speaker 1: safety and plays nickel for them. You guys have been
Speaker 1: this year. I think our guys have done a good job.
Speaker 1: They work extremely hard at it. And you know, you
Speaker 1: haven't had many clean shots at the quarterback. There haven't
Speaker 1: been any missed assignments when we thought somebody was supposed
Speaker 1: to be picked up. Um, you know, when you really
Speaker 1: look at it, them maybe one or two, but there
Speaker 1: aren't very many when you thought someone was supposed to
Speaker 1: be picked up but he wasn't picked up. Because we
Speaker 1: had a misca munication. I think our guys have done
Speaker 1: a good job communicating that up front. Sam and Kelsey
Speaker 1: have done a good job of getting us in the
Speaker 1: right protections and putting us in those situations. The Arizona
Speaker 1: Wide receivers, it seems like they all have different skills.
Speaker 1: He's been our handful of her. Yeah, it's an outstanding group.
Speaker 1: You know, you got a Hall of famer arguably in Fitzgerald.
Speaker 1: Malcolm Ford's playing. I mean, Floyd is playing really well.
Speaker 1: Um Brown is really a speed guy. You know, they
Speaker 1: can take the top off the coverage, can can and
Speaker 1: they'll try to take shots. It's the one thing Bruce
Speaker 1: does is Brussell. Brussell pushed the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: Carson Ken push the ball down the field, and He's
Speaker 1: got some receivers that can get down the field. So
Speaker 1: those three are maybe the best group of three that
Speaker 1: we've seen um so far this year. Impressions put d
Speaker 1: you can in their defense and going into last year's draft,
Speaker 1: was he I mean, how did you view him going
Speaker 1: into that draft as far as a scheme fit for you.
Speaker 1: We looked at Dan as a safety. You know, when
Speaker 1: they're playing him exclusively at inside linebackers. So and he
Speaker 1: may be the lightest inside linebacker in the way he's
Speaker 1: two hundred and eleven pounds, but he's extremely productive. He's
Speaker 1: a leading tackler. You know, it was a good projection
Speaker 1: by them. I don't know if if they thought of
Speaker 1: it that way when they projected him. They brought him
Speaker 1: in last year, he played dime linebacker for him, and
Speaker 1: now they've transitioned him to where he's on the field
Speaker 1: for three downs as an inside linebacker and truly playing
Speaker 1: inside linebacker. And I don't know many teams in the
Speaker 1: league that have someone under two twenty played inside linebacker
Speaker 1: every single snap, but they're getting great production out of him.
Speaker 1: He's a physical football player. He seems like he's got
Speaker 1: real good instincts and knows for the ball in there
Speaker 1: at inside linebacker, which I think when you're projecting, not
Speaker 1: many people project safeties to be inside linebackers in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. But he's transitioned and done a really
Speaker 1: good job of it, and I think he's one of
Speaker 1: their keys to their defense right now. So that, you know,
Speaker 1: gives their scouting staff credit for kind of taking a
Speaker 1: guy that was a college safety and drafting him and
Speaker 1: moving him a linebacker and having wrote a lot of
Speaker 1: production out of him, more of when you viewed him
Speaker 1: more of an in the box safety that really didn't Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a physical, physical not that he didn't fit our scheme.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he can do a lot of
Speaker 1: different things, but he's a real tough heart and those
Speaker 1: physical guy And that's why I think they got him
Speaker 1: closer to the ball the last several weeks. I think
Speaker 1: Math's done a really good job and it's competed really well.
Speaker 1: Zam only has one interception his last four games. As
Speaker 1: well as he's playing. Do you feel like there's still
Speaker 1: another level with Sam that he can get too here?
Speaker 1: I think there's another level for everybody. So I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody has ever arrived at this game. And I
Speaker 1: think Sam would be the first to tell you the
Speaker 1: same thing is that, Um, he's gotten better each week. Um.
Speaker 1: I think he's has a better understanding of what's going
Speaker 1: on that you know that kind of the game slows
Speaker 1: down for him. You can see him, you know, getting
Speaker 1: two different things, which puts him in a position where
Speaker 1: you know he can now get to the second, third,
Speaker 1: fourth option on some plays. Um, he's doing a good
Speaker 1: job with a lot of things. We've we've given him
Speaker 1: his hands as a as the season's gone along, we've
Speaker 1: given them more things to do when he's handled them
Speaker 1: extremely well. So. But I don't think he's, you know,
Speaker 1: tapped out by any stretch the imagination. I think he'll
Speaker 1: continue his work at it. Um. He's got a great
Speaker 1: work ethic. You know, he's not a big talker, um,
Speaker 1: but he's a he's a big work and he'll continue
Speaker 1: to work and get better. And that's what we hope
Speaker 1: is we continue to get better as a team, that
Speaker 1: he'll continue to get better as a player with three
Speaker 1: games remaining. When you brought up the guys together this morning,
Speaker 1: what did you see out of them? What did you
Speaker 1: see in their eyes? And what was your message to
Speaker 1: the team going forward to the final three? But I
Speaker 1: didn't bring them together this morning because we met yesterday,
Speaker 1: so you know, we just talked about the highlights of
Speaker 1: what we did well against Buffalo, kind of actually onto that,
Speaker 1: showed a couple of clips like we normally do, and
Speaker 1: then just talked about what the task at the hands,
Speaker 1: and the task at hand is not three games. The
Speaker 1: task at hand is yesterday was just really having a
Speaker 1: good Tuesday, and today it's really having a good Wednesday
Speaker 1: and preparing for, you know, one of the top teams
Speaker 1: in the whole National Football League in terms of how
Speaker 1: well Arizona is playing, and our sole focusing attention is
Speaker 1: on Arizona. It's not on what's going to happen after
Speaker 1: the Arizona game or wherever the other opponents are after
Speaker 1: that game. It's it's to really prepare for these guys.
Speaker 1: And then really what you have to do is just
Speaker 1: turn the tape on. When you look at the tape,
Speaker 1: how well they're playing in all three phases. You look
Speaker 1: at how well Carson's playing, and how well that entire
Speaker 1: defense is playing. You know, that'll catch your attend instead
Speaker 1: of looking down the road that there's three games left
Speaker 1: and we're at this point in time during our season.
Speaker 1: Is we we got one game left in our game
Speaker 1: is the Arizona Cardinals. I think they're in a good spot.
Speaker 1: You know, we got a lot of we got a
Speaker 1: lot of preparation that we have to do, you know,
Speaker 1: because of what they do schematically to attack you. But
Speaker 1: I think our guys are excited about that opportunity to
Speaker 1: to to really have a good week of preparation to
Speaker 1: get ready for this game. The new offensive linement that
Speaker 1: you quote any Um Offuson and bared Um. You know
Speaker 1: how they pushing for any any of those those slots
Speaker 1: interior spots they gets specifically, they're doing a good job
Speaker 1: more continuing and develop those guys. In terms of UM,
Speaker 1: I see the defensie a little bit of yours and
Speaker 1: that they have like a long called defensive line athletic
Speaker 1: inside backers all long corners and see who then contacker
Speaker 1: and covered the slot and if there and if so,
Speaker 1: is there any kind of advantage of attacking them which
Speaker 1: you have familiarity now And I don't see the same
Speaker 1: similarities to be honest with you. I mean Matthew is
Speaker 1: a smaller safety. I think it they've kind of put
Speaker 1: things together and in a linebackers not your prototypical size linebacker.
Speaker 1: They don't have the same the size that but they
Speaker 1: they're really productive players. I think they've done a good
Speaker 1: job of finding guys that fit their system. Um So
Speaker 1: there are there are some similarities in uh in some positions,
Speaker 1: but there are the positions that are kind of skewed
Speaker 1: but I don't look at it as that team looks
Speaker 1: like our team. I mean, their scheme is totally different
Speaker 1: than ours. We're not ah, we don't blitz, we don't
Speaker 1: leave the National Football League and blitz percentage and we're
Speaker 1: so I would say we play what we do a
Speaker 1: little bit different than what they do. So thanks
