Pays it again 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: some more hurry magic. 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: Whow Here's Craigcriolo. 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: So last I checked. The job of an offensive alignment 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: is to protect protect the most valuable player on the field, 19 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: and of course this would be at the quarterback. It's 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: also the job in offensiveligneman to protect the in house 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: talent the Arizona Cardinals insiders. There was a by the way, 22 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: welcome to Cards camp here on this Friday in his 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: day eight and welcome to Danny. It was. It was 24 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: a padded practice on Friday. It wasn't the most exciting 25 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: padded practice, at least compared to Monday and Tuesday. But 26 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: there was a play, Danny, that you were involved with 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: sort of and I was kind of in the background. 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: You're laughing, Why are you laughing? 29 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: Involved as a strong fair enough. Paul was more involved 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 3: than I was. 31 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: Yes, Dave past was involved, Zach. 32 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 3: It was a Clayton tune. 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Team eleven on eleven. He rolled out through the ball 34 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: away smart decision. No one was open but Nick LeVert, 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman, was walking up the sideline. The pass 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: was almost to him in his direction. He jogged to 37 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: get out of the way. Yet let the four of 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: you exposed, and you guys just scattered, like I. 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: Think it bounced off of ricocheted off of Paul, maybe 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: his leg or he turned in his back or something. 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: I don't know. It kind of ricochet bounced to me 42 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: and I put my hand out down by the side 43 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 3: and I kind of like patted the ball down so 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 3: it didn't hit me. It could have been a lot worse. 45 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 3: I'll tell you that we probably should have moved out 46 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: of the way a little faster. Thankfully, We're all good. 47 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: If there's any film of this, and I know there is, 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: because there's always film of everything, no, not of that, 49 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: please include it in the next episode of bird Watch. 50 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm already putting Paul and Blast with his 51 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: inability to make smores. I can't just continue to dog 52 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: on him. 53 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: Why not, that's the whole point, part of the whole 54 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: point of Birdwatch. 55 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: No, I guess I can't fully argue that. 56 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: By the way, that's how I wouldn't say how practice 57 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: in it the practice in though with again Clayton tune. 58 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: But this was a deep ball at the Tejon Palmer 59 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: hurry up. It was two minutes. It was like they 60 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: were working on two minute drill hurry up offense, and 61 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: each quarterback had to turn and it was a deep 62 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: ball close to the goal line. I don't know if 63 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: he scored. It was on the opposite corner of where 64 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: I was standing at that point. The horn went off, 65 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, okay, practice is over, because 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: the first team offense was prepared to go back out 67 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 1: there for another rep and JG said, Hey, we're gonna 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: end it on a high note Clayton Tune with a 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: deep ball and a pass completion. 70 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 3: That's what's interesting about camp is you have really good 71 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: plays like that, but then you start to thinking, where 72 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: do you find roster spots for all these players who 73 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: are having good performances in camp, and the roster configuration 74 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: is slowly creeping up on us. Not us in the 75 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: sense that we are building a roster, thank goodness, because 76 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: that is some stress levels that I don't think I 77 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: could manage on my own. But that's the tough part, 78 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: is Okay, when you see Clayton tune and he looked good, 79 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: he looks calm, composed, The accuracy, the power, right, There's 80 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: a lot of things that go into it. But yeah, 81 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: it was nice to see some players that are working 82 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 3: with the third team still go out there and have 83 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 3: some nice raps. 84 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: We heard from assistant general manager Dave Sears post practice 85 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: on Friday about the roster construction, and yeah, right now 86 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be a whole lot for the front 87 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: office to do, at least from the outside, but they 88 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: are dissecting training camp film, they're looking at other players 89 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: across the league, because, as you mentioned, we are less 90 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: than a month away from final roster cuts, and there 91 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: are going to be players released from this Arizona Cardinals 92 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: team that are going to be claimed by other teams 93 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: because of the depth at a number of different positions. 94 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: I know jg earlier this week said I'm not in 95 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: the business of cutting good players, but then he followed 96 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 1: that up with we might be cutting good players because 97 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: the roster is where it's at. A credit to Monty 98 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: austin Ford and his front office people, it's a blessing. 99 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: It is. It's a blessing and a curse, right of 100 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: that's just how it goes. That means you are drafting well, 101 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 3: you are bringing in the right free agents, the right 102 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 3: type of players, the right type of people. You've got 103 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: coaches that are able to get the most out of 104 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: their players. You can only keep so many. And again 105 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 3: we've talked about it's not just a competition within your 106 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 3: room for a role. It's a numbers game of every 107 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: other position. Of if there's seven defensive linemen that they 108 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: cannot justify not having on the final roster, how does 109 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: that affect the numbers in the wide receivers room? Right? 110 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 3: So everything is connected, and that's a tough position to 111 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 3: be in. I do think that this front office has 112 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: shown though that they have got a good eye for talent. 113 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 3: And when you're talking about possibly bringing in players after 114 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: those initial roster cuts around the league, cornerback Starling Thomas 115 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 3: is a player that comes to mind. He was undrafted, 116 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 3: He starts in Detroit, Detroit cut him. He came to 117 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 3: the Cardinals after a handful of practices, earned his way 118 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 3: on to the field on game day, and then shortly 119 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 3: after that earned himself a starting role. And unfortunately Thomas 120 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: is going to be out this season with a reported 121 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: knee injury reported to our an ACL. So but that 122 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 3: is a good example of you can still find players 123 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: who fit in your system. So it's I don't want 124 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 3: to say exciting, right but it's intriguing when you think 125 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: about the fact that there's still a chance that somebody 126 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 3: who's not even here in Arizona right now will end 127 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: up an Arizona cardinal. 128 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: Elijah Higgins is another name two years ago claimed and 129 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: now a significant role within this team, within this offense. 130 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: But where this roster is right now, at least how 131 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: I look at it, I don't want to speak for you, 132 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: Danny and even Dave Sears brought it up. He didn't 133 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: think they might be as active post cuts as they 134 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: have in the past just because of where the rosters 135 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: hands right now. It doesn't mean they're not looking because 136 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: those players forty eight to fifty three. You're always churning 137 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: that roster, as they like to say, because you have 138 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: no idea. Even if you can get just a little 139 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: bit better, you're gonna make that. You're gonna make that signing. 140 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: Not just that, I mean not to be a Debbie downer. 141 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: What of worst case scenario, A big time pillar of 142 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: your team goes down, right, you need to be prepared. 143 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: You cannot wait until that moment to say, oh, shoot, 144 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: we're in a pickle. Now we're really in a bune. 145 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: Let's go see what else is out there, because by 146 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: that point you're behind the eight ball. So it is 147 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: your due diligence to be ahead of the curve and 148 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: always just kind of keeping your eye on what your 149 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: options are. 150 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this transition, but I don't want to 151 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: panic anyone. Because you mentioned a pillar of the team going. 152 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: Down, I'm panicking. 153 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: Friday, we did not see Marvin Harrison Junior for the 154 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: second straight practice again, dealing with some knee soreness. We'll 155 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: see if he's out there on Saturday for the Red 156 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: and White practice. And then near the end of practice, 157 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: we saw Michael Wilson get shaken up and leave the 158 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: field with the assistance of a training staff and Buddha Baker. 159 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: I believe there's film out on Twitter he and Buddha 160 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: Baker Colyde. It looked like you had a better advantage 161 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: point from my side of the field, but again it 162 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: was both players got up. Buddha wanted to come back. 163 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: Nick Rawl is like, no, you're okay. But to see 164 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: Michael Wilson go back into the locker room again, not 165 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: to panic anyone, but you talk about a position that 166 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: was deep and then all of a sudden, noam HJ. 167 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: Michael goes down and now you're looking perhaps, I mean, 168 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: that's you know, weeks. 169 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: Down the road, right, not panicam Gannon was emphatic that 170 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: Harrison will be okay, it's just some niece soreness and 171 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 3: being smart with him and his health. It was in 172 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 3: eleven on eleven team drills. It appeared on a route 173 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: that as Wilson went for a diving catch and Bake 174 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 3: came across from the middle that Baker's knee or some 175 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 3: part of his leg hit Wilson's head like his helmet 176 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 3: as he went down, and Baker just kind of was 177 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: a little gingerly towards it at first and then seemed okay, 178 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: and Wilson was when I say done on the field, 179 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 3: it was. It was so quick. It was not a 180 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 3: situation where the players around him were were on their knees. 181 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: They didn't stop the music. It was he quickly got up, 182 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 3: walked off on his own accord with the trainers. They 183 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: checked him out. I'm not sure what body part it was, 184 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 3: and then Wilson walked off again on his on accord 185 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: with a trainer to the locker room. That was also 186 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 3: at the end of practice, so that might play a 187 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: role in it as well. It didn't appear like it 188 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: would be something that would keep him out for quite 189 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 3: some time, but that's not something we'll know. We'll hear 190 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: from the head coach Saturday before Red and White practice, 191 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 3: so should get an answer by then. This is an 192 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: opportunity though, of what do you have in your depth 193 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: in the wide receiver's room. What do you have if 194 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 3: Zay Jones is your number one receiver and then you're 195 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: working your way down with a Greg Dortch, Tejon Palmer, 196 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: Xavier Weaver. Right this this is the opportunity to get 197 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: some reps. 198 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: It was Weaver who came onto the field to finish 199 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: that drill that rep when Michael Wilson went off, you 200 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: bring up Zay Jones, and I do think we're always 201 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: winning at who the wide receivers are behind Marvin, behind 202 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: Michael and that third wide receiver is it Jay Jones? 203 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: Is it Greg Dortch, And would appear based off these 204 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: past two practices without Marvin on the field, that Jay 205 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: Jones might be ahead of Dorsch at least in the 206 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: pecking order because it was Michael Wilson opposite Zay Jones 207 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: for a lot of these reps. Again, they do different 208 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: things as far as Zay and Dorsch, But the one 209 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: thing we've heard from JG is Za Jones is a 210 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: multiple position wide receiver and he has the size six 211 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: to two hundred pounds. He's he's darned near the same 212 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: size as Michael Wilson. And then you compare that to 213 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: a great Dorch who's not as big but has the 214 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: shiftiness and the elusiveness and is very quick, certainly over 215 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: the middle. It's a different dynamic when you're talking about 216 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: wide receivers and comparing who best fits that third wide 217 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: receiver within this offensive scheme. 218 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: Depends what you want. When you look at the draft 219 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 3: picks and the acquisitions. This staff seemingly likes tall, long 220 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 3: outside receivers and that's not Doorgs. So that's not to 221 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 3: say he can't play outside. We've just mostly seen doors 222 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 3: with inside roles in this scheme. I will say Zay 223 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: Jones says looks good at camp, and I'm not trying 224 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 3: to put, you know, get too far ahead of things. 225 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: Right of it's camp. There's a lot of drills where, 226 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 3: even with the pads are on, you're limited in contact, 227 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: limited in pressure. I understand those things, but on one 228 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 3: on one drills on Friday, Jay Jones, nobody, nobody was 229 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: stopping him. Again, that is a drill when you've got 230 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: wide receivers and dbs. I know that it benefits the 231 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: offense that's who it favors. But his speed, his space, 232 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: he was creating his catch radius, he was extending to 233 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 3: make catches. He looked good, he looked fast. That's also 234 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 3: how he has looked in team Gurls. I'm intrigued. We 235 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 3: did not see a lot of Zay Jones last season, 236 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: even when he was able to come back, He just 237 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 3: he wasn't utilized a whole lot. So I'm very curious 238 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 3: to see how that changes this year of having more 239 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 3: reps in this system and more chemistry and easier communication, 240 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: because that is a name who we talked about wanting 241 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: to see Michael Wilson show up on the stat sheet 242 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 3: a little more right, Zay Jones could do some damage 243 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 3: for this Cardinals offense as well. 244 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: Darren's got a great article up on asycardinals dot com. 245 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: He spoke was say earlier this week and the subject 246 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: of all right wide receiver? Who's that third wide receiver? 247 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: It might not have been as much of a top 248 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: topic as defensive line in cornerback this offseason, but there 249 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that expected the Cardinals to 250 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: either go out and free agency and bring in a 251 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver or draft a wide receiver. And Darren makes 252 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: the point of the articles. Technically, the Cardinals and free 253 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: agency did go out and get a wide receiver. It 254 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: was Za Jones. They brought him back, and no, we 255 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: did not see a lot of Jay on the field 256 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: last season. He missed the first six games, and then 257 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: when he did return, he wasn't targeted a whole lot, 258 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: didn't see a lot of the field. And again those 259 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: six games, that month and a half, two months of 260 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: him not being around and then all of a sudden, 261 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: all right, jump back into it. That's difficult to do, 262 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: and I don't think he was able to catch up. 263 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: Now he's got a full offseason, full training camp, he's 264 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: going to be here. And the fact that he was 265 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: brought back despite not a great statistical season, I think 266 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: tells you exactly what the coaches and his front office 267 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: field about Jay Jones within this offensive scheme, because he 268 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: fits what they want to do within this offense. 269 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 3: I mean, big picture, it would have been hard to, 270 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: I think, justify if this front office how to use 271 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 3: the first round pick on a receiver when you use 272 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: the fourth overall pick the year prior a fourth overall 273 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 3: pick of Marvin Harrison Junior, who had a very good 274 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 3: ROOKI year, has a very high ceiling, has shown growth physically, 275 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 3: and the eleven added pounds of muscle and mentally in 276 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 3: all of those things. So it makes sense that if 277 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 3: you're going to want a receiver to go with more 278 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: of that veteran approach and someone like Zay Jones who 279 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: is more familiar than bringing in a new face, and 280 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: then you're thinking, Okay, can somebody out there for what 281 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 3: we're looking for from not only as a catching receiver, 282 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 3: right as a blocking receiver. Can somebody comment and do 283 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 3: more than what we're already getting from Jones? What about financially? Right, 284 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 3: So if he's the best option, that absolutely makes the 285 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: most sense, and that's what this front office felt, and 286 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: honestly that benefits everybody having that consistency and that chemistry 287 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 3: carry over. 288 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: The keyword you said is blocking because if you're not 289 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: blocking the and you're not a part of this offensive system, 290 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: because if you're just one dimensional, not only is it 291 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: a tel for the defense, but it's just this coaching staff, 292 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: whether it's offense or defense, they like the versatility. They 293 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: just don't want someone who can only do one thing. 294 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: And that goes on both sides of the line of scrimmage. 295 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: I stand by what I said. I mean, look, things 296 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: have obviously changed, but in the middle of the off season, 297 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 3: where I said, if you get someone who is so 298 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 3: good and so fast and really stretches the field. That 299 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 3: could probably be a little bit of a different story, 300 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 3: but it makes sense the moves that the Cardinals made 301 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 3: for the scheme they like to run offensively. 302 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: Any similarity and I did this just hit me with 303 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: last year LJ. Collier being brought back in the offseason 304 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: after getting hurt earlier in the year. Brought back. They 305 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: obviously saw something in him, felt he could still be 306 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: a part of this defense, and he rewarded them last 307 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: season with a solid year. Different circumstances, I get it. 308 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: But if you you go out scout a player, hey, 309 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: we think they fit with they what we want to do. 310 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: Good person first of all, good player, good locker room 311 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: guy on and off the field. You get hurt or 312 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: something happens and you're unavailable, but you're brought back, and 313 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: I think, and again I invite everyone to go to 314 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: Azycardinals dot com and read the article that Darren wrote, 315 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: because there is an appreciation from Zay on what the 316 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals did in the offseason as far as bringing 317 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: him back and showing him that they wanted him back 318 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: and that there would going to be a role for him. 319 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: Despite the fact that I just came off an eight catch, 320 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: eleven target season. Why would I want to come back 321 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: when you showed me in eleven games I wasn't really 322 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: part of this offense. That's not the case. I mean, 323 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: stats don't always tell the story of that sit down, 324 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: have a conversation. Didn't work out last year, but we 325 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: have not lost faith in you as a person or 326 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: as a player. Let's try to run it back. 327 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great a great story. And I like 328 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 3: the comparison with LJ. Collier or something similar, who tore 329 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 3: his trice apps right the first game of the season 330 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: two years ago and there were all these hopes as 331 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 3: a former first round pick to Seattle and you bring 332 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 3: him in. It is really similar to Jones. And that's 333 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 3: what you want is you want the players to feel valued. 334 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: Doesn't necessarily mean it's a quality when you're looking at 335 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: the stats of the targets, but you want them to 336 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 3: feel valued. And I think that it's fair to say 337 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 3: this staff in front office does a very good job 338 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 3: of doing that and the players understanding their role and 339 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 3: how they play a piece of a bigger picture. And 340 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 3: it truly is team over themselves. 341 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: Staying on the wide receiver topic. As we're promoting Easycardinals 342 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: dot Com, we can also promote the Arizona Cardinals official 343 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: YouTube page. Your sit down interview with Marvin Harrison Junior 344 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: full interview up on YouTube. I found it interesting because 345 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: no matter what setting Marvin is in podium, locker room, 346 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: sit down, public, private, he always comes back with somewhat 347 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: of the same answer when we ask about stats goals. 348 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: I want to win. Tell me what it takes for 349 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: us to win, what you need for me to do, 350 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: and I will do it. And I think, especially for 351 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: a young player and someone who's got the resume, the lineage, 352 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: the expectations to always come back to team first. Another 353 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: reason why this coaching staff, this front office made Marvin 354 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: Harrison Junior the fourth overall pick. 355 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 3: There's a reason Harrison always answers questions like that of 356 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 3: I was brought here to help win games. That's his mindset. 357 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 3: That is the mindset of the team that drafted him. 358 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 3: So it is a nice pairing. Is it is what 359 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 3: you want to hear from a receiver, from any player, 360 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 3: right is the goal is to win games that do 361 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 3: what you can do your part to help contribute to that. 362 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: Do people wish that Harrison would say, yes, I want 363 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 3: to have a twelve hundred yard season, I want to 364 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 3: have twelve touchdowns. I want to have this, this and this. 365 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 3: After seeing what players one, two, and three across the league, 366 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 3: the attention they got nationally. Sure you could wish he 367 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: would say that, but I think we've learned he's not 368 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 3: going to say that now. Does he feel that way internally? 369 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 3: Maybe really privately maybe, but I don't think something at 370 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: this point that's ever going to be shared and doesn't 371 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 3: mean I don't believe him when he says his goal 372 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 3: is to help win games and that is what's most 373 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 3: important is team wins. 374 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of players, and sometimes it 375 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: takes a little while they understand that with wins comes 376 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: the attention, comes the postseason experience, come the accolades, and 377 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: with that, if you're winning, well, obviously my numbers, if 378 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm a focal point of the offensive defense, if we're winning, 379 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: that means my numbers have to be good to great 380 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: because I'm a vital part of what's going on. 381 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 3: With Harrison specifically might not even be numbers. It's one 382 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 3: of two things. One his play and his numbers are 383 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 3: going to be so good that yes, that is what's 384 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 3: really going to move the needle or two. His play 385 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 3: is so good, he is going to garner so much 386 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 3: attention from defenses that that will allow the rest of 387 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 3: your offensive weapons to go do all the dirty work. 388 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 3: It's a win win. 389 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: By the way, I appreciated the uh seemed like Marvin 390 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: was taken aback when you asked him or you presented 391 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: the fact that this offense, the explosive plays and the 392 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: lack thereof from last season. I mean when you toss 393 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: out numbers when you say seventh fewest in the league, 394 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: forty three overall, tied with the Titans and the Panthers. Again, 395 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: players sometimes don't know those numbers, but it does indicate 396 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: where this offense where we think it needs to go, 397 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: as far as, hey, where are those chunk throws? And 398 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: not even the chunk throws, but that ten eleven twelve 399 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: yard pass play yards after catch, and all of a 400 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: sudden you do get those twenty plus pass plays. 401 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: Shout out to you, Craig. The stat was that the 402 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 3: Cardinals had these seven fewest pass plays of twenty more 403 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 3: yards last season. Those explosive plays absolutely make a difference. 404 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 3: That is what's also going to help with momentum. Right, 405 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 3: that's what's really going to juice a team up. Just 406 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: because you have the fifth most explosive plays does not 407 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 3: necessarily mean you were able to capitalize on all of them. 408 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 3: So there is a balance there. This wide receivers room, 409 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 3: the quarterback, the coaches. They were pretty clear though at 410 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 3: the end of last season that that was an area 411 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 3: they wanted the passing game to improve. I highly doubt 412 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 3: that they have a statistical number they are trying to reach, right, 413 00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 3: It's going to be a lot of the feel for 414 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 3: thee and how things shake out. The question is, okay, 415 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 3: you don't bring in a lot of new pieces offensively, right, 416 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: So they clearly feel confident and what this group, this 417 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 3: personnel is able to accomplish. You have to make sure 418 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 3: that that consistency, that chemistry, that communication, all this quote 419 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 3: unquote sauce we have heard is being added into this 420 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 3: offense because you have such a leg up from where 421 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 3: you were last year with this scheme, because of everybody's 422 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 3: starting point. Now you need to be able to start 423 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 3: making sure that is paying dividends. You need to make 424 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 3: sure that that is really going to make a difference 425 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: in how effective you are and being able to be 426 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 3: a threat in that deep game. 427 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: You know it would help a deep ball passing game. 428 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 3: You're setting up for something, and I'm last I'm. 429 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: Setting you up for the next topic of conversation. If 430 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: you have good offensive line play, good pass protection, you've 431 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: got more time as a quarterback. I Eke Kyla Murray 432 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: in the pocket to allow those playmakers to go down. 433 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 3: Are we transitioning to the part where you tell me 434 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 3: I'm right again, Colliers? 435 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: This is where off This is where Danny is right 436 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: and Greig was wrong. Dramatic pause to allow for Cody 437 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: to clip that. 438 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 3: I'm gonna make that my ring tone? Do that? Can 439 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 3: you make customized ring tones these days? 440 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: On these I thought you could once upon a time. 441 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: I don't know anymore based off all the updates growing up. 442 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 3: You have to wait. You had to wait for your 443 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 3: favorite song to play on the radio and then record 444 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: the exact spot you wanted for your ring tone. 445 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: Okay, I remember doing that. I just figured you were 446 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: too young, dude. 447 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 3: No, I still had to do that. 448 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: Okay. 449 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 3: Anyway, carry let's get back to the part where you 450 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 3: said I was right. 451 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: Crying conversation for a while now about right guard and 452 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah Adams. Danny has always maintained that it was Isaiah 453 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: Adams's job to lose, of Hampden had thought maybe it 454 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: was more of an open competition written in pen I mean, 455 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: excuse me, written in pencil. Not only is it Isaiah 456 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: Adams's job to lose, I'm gonna say this here on Friday, 457 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: August first, it's his job period this week, and my mind, 458 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: Isaiah won the job. 459 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 3: Was it when you saw Adams go toe to toe 460 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 3: with Kaleis Campbell in one on one reps? 461 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: It's also when he went one on one with Darius Robinson? Yeah, 462 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: he has. And then of course the kicker is, well, 463 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: if the head coach is going to praise an individual, 464 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: and a head coach who typically doesn't like to single 465 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: out certain individuals. But when Jay g says Isaiah quote 466 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: probably won the day, referring to Tuesday's padded practice, adding 467 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 1: he was the all star of the day. Yeah, I 468 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: sit up and take notice. And then all right, you 469 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: did it on Monday, you did it on Tuesday. Can 470 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: you do it in the next padded practic? Just on Friday? 471 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: I e today and darn it, Isaiah Adams did it again. 472 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: He won the first rep against Klayis, and probably it 473 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: was more of a push, but Kalayis didn't beat him 474 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: in the second rep, and it was basically two guys 475 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: locking horns and standing their ground. Definitely a win for 476 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: Isaiah in the first rep and probably advantage Isaiah in 477 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: the second rep. But that's been a strong battle this 478 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: week in camp, those two going toe to toe. 479 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 3: The previous two times Adams and Gambell went toe to toe, 480 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 3: Adams held his own as well. He had talked about, 481 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 3: you've got the weights in front of you. Don't know 482 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: how far back your your rosters go with the weight change. 483 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: I'd be curious to know how much weight Adams was 484 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 3: able to put on in the off season. But he 485 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 3: talked about really mentally wanting to be prepared enough for 486 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 3: the game to have slown down, and I asked him 487 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 3: if he felt that way. He'd said that to the 488 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 3: media around Mini Camp OTA's part of the off season, 489 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 3: and I'd asked, now the pads have come on, do 490 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: you feel that way? He said, oh, absolutely, way more 491 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 3: than it did at that point in the offseason. That's 492 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 3: what you want. He has talked about wanting to be reliable. 493 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: Adams wants to know once his teammates know that when 494 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 3: he's on the field, he is doing everything in his 495 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 3: power to keep his quarterback upright, have a clean pocket, 496 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 3: create gaps for the runs, and he really prays center. 497 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 3: Yelled to Froholt and right tackle Jonah Williams and having 498 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 3: helped him throughout his rookie year. Last year, when Adams 499 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 3: his first his first look at the NFL was against 500 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: Leonard Williams right, so that that's pretty tough to begin with. 501 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 3: Adams has looked good in camp. You can't make too 502 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 3: much of who's getting reps with the first team, second team, 503 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 3: third team. You can look at the pattern and Adams 504 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 3: is consistently getting reps at right guard with his first team. 505 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: What's been interesting is seeing at Friday's practice rookie Hayden Connor, 506 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 3: who has spent a lot of time on the left 507 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: side of the field, was not only working on the 508 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: right side his right guard. It was with second team. 509 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 3: So that's something. Again, nothing is set in stone, but 510 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 3: you bring in a veteran like Roy Suman, who's got 511 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: roughly fifty games under his belt in about four years 512 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 3: in the league, it's not necessarily a bad thing to 513 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 3: see your young players developing to get to that level. 514 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 3: I have been impressed with Isaiah Adams and the growth 515 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 3: that we have seen from where he ended his rookie 516 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 3: year to how comfortable and confident and strong he has 517 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 3: looked in training camp. Going into your two. 518 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: Momentum doesn't carry over from season to season, but I 519 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: strongly believe confidence does, especially individual confidence. And those five 520 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: games that Adams started last season, the last five, yeah, 521 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: there were some struggles, but there was enough there that 522 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: Adams felts I think personally that, Okay, one, I know 523 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: what I need to do to make sure I'm better 524 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: prepared and in two, yeah, I belong here. And he 525 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: has taken those final five games into this offseason. By 526 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: the way, the weights he's still listed at three point 527 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: fifteen as he was last season. 528 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 3: Oh okay, so maybe that hasn't drastically changed or maybe added. 529 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 3: I don't know. 530 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it could have been a different but 531 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: yet he has admitted he's a lot stronger. But I 532 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: think his footwork has certainly improved and his technique, the balance, 533 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: the hand placement to where he's not getting caught or 534 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: pushed around anymore. Now again you're going up against your 535 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: own team. We'll see how he handles the joint practice 536 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: preseason action. If he does see any preseason action. I 537 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: hope the starters offense and defense do see preseason action 538 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: as opposed to what we saw the first two years 539 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: under JG. But it does at least for me, it 540 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: answers a question that I had coming into training camp 541 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: as far as what do you do at right guard 542 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: or what's the plan? Is it Isaiah is at Royce? 543 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: Is it someone else? Will Hernandez is still on the 544 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: street fan favorite. Anytime anyone brings up right guard, hey 545 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: go sign Will Hernandez. I don't think that's a realistic possibility, 546 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: more based off what we've seen. And again these weren't 547 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: just a week's worth of practices. These were three padded practices. 548 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: I mean back to back Monday and Tuesday. Again on Friday. 549 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: We'll see paddeds on on Saturday as well, So four 550 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: padded practices. And if, as if Adams can continue to 551 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: stack good days, not only does he build trust in himself, 552 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: his teammates around him, and more importantly, justin Fry and 553 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: the coaching staff. Yeah, he is our right guard. Plus, 554 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, you got a veteran at center, you 555 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: got a veteran at right tackle that can help him 556 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: and keep that confidence high. 557 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely, there's still consistency on this offensive line. Is it 558 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 3: the exact same as your starter's Week one No. By 559 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 3: one position, and that's right guard, and it's someone who 560 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: played in fifteen games and had five starts last year. 561 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: That still matters. So that's important to have that consistency 562 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 3: along that front there. I do think it deserves praise 563 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 3: what offensive line coach Justin Fry has done in his 564 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 3: short time here with the Cardinals because you look, and 565 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that as oh, what can you really 566 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 3: see in a couple of padded practices, but I think 567 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 3: it holds a lot of meaning when you're starting left 568 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: tackle in Paris. Johnson Junior makes a comment to the 569 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 3: media that the drills these linemen are doing in individual 570 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: periods is instantaneously translating into the team drills that they're doing, 571 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 3: and that's important that you are being efficient with your time, 572 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 3: You're getting the most out of your players, and the 573 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 3: drills that you're doing is really going to make a 574 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 3: difference on the field. As a collective unit. 575 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: We also heard post practice from Darius Robinson. He was 576 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: asked about Isaiah Adams and he mentioned Isaiah's quote having 577 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: a fantastic camp. So again, it's not hyperbole when you 578 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: hear us talk about it from the sideline. But this 579 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: is someone Darius, by the way, has had a great camp, 580 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: and I think knock On Woods stays healthy. He is 581 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: going to be a problem this season because of just 582 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: how strong and quick off the line of scrimmage he is. 583 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: But again he's being met by someone equally as strong 584 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: in Isaiah Adams and has held his own against de 585 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: rob But you want to know how someone's doing in camp, Yeah, 586 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: coaches can give you whatever cliche or maybe they don't 587 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: want to share. Talk to the player that's lining up 588 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: against the offensive lineman, defensive line, wide receiver or cornerback 589 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,239 Speaker 1: and get an idea of where a certain player is. 590 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: And especially year two, because everyone points to Marvin in 591 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: year two about Isaiah Adams and the rest of the 592 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four rookie class of him got a lot 593 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: of time as rookies, and I think more is going 594 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: to be on their plate here in twenty twenty five. 595 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 3: Max Melton Rabbit Taylor Demerson, Darius Robinson, Isaiah Adams, Trey Benson. 596 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 3: There's a whole list of players that got significant reps, 597 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 3: looked good and the reps they got as the season 598 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 3: went on and are poised to have large roles this year. 599 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: Tip Ryman is another one. But he, almost as much 600 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: as he played, was already an important piece to this offense. 601 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: And now it's just a matter Okay, we know he's blocking, 602 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: Kenny be involved somewhat in the passing game, but do 603 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: you need him to do exactly his role right now? 604 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: As JG likes to say, you're competing for year role, 605 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: Everyone has a role, and right now, Tip Ryman's role 606 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: as third tied end, at least right now is to pass, protect, run, block, 607 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: and then split out wide, go for a couple of 608 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: routes and maybe he gets a couple of targets. But 609 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: you're right, you got Trey, you got Elijah, Oh, don't 610 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: forget about Marvin Michael, James Connor, Trey Benson. So it's 611 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: it's a luxury that this team has at the tight 612 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: end position right now because of where again, going back 613 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: to original earlier conversation, where this roster is as. 614 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 3: A whole absolutely, and fans have the opportunity to see 615 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 3: the players and padded practice Saturday at the Red and 616 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 3: White practice, and there's some ceremonial stuff going on before practice, 617 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 3: so it should be a fun day. 618 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 1: I believe everything begins at one fifty and again all 619 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: the details information on Azcardinals dot com and also, you know, 620 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: in addition to players and all the other stuff, come 621 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: out and say hello to Danny Surrek. Sure, who's been back, 622 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: who's been Who's been very busy here at cards camp. 623 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: I brought up the Marvin Harrison junior interview that we 624 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: know happened because it's been posted. But how many people 625 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: have you talked to hearing. 626 00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know how many days of 627 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 3: the week we have right now, what day at Camperon. No, 628 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 3: it's been good. I'm very, very grateful that we have 629 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 3: had the access that we have and the people willing 630 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 3: to chat. So I did sit down with Harrison. That 631 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 3: interview has been posted. By the time this podcast is uploaded, 632 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 3: I believe one, maybe two more will have been uploaded, 633 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 3: either on the website or our YouTube channel. I sat 634 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 3: down with coach Debo a new defensive line coach, coach Frith, 635 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 3: new offensive line coach, cornerback Will Johnson, defensive lineman Kalais Campbell. 636 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 3: I honest I think that might be everyone at this point. 637 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 3: I have a few more slated forward next week, which 638 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 3: I am excited about as well. But yeah, I would 639 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 3: love for you guys to check them out. And I 640 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 3: have to say, like talking with the new coaches was 641 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 3: a lot of fun. I think that you get to 642 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 3: learn a lot from both of them and have a 643 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 3: better idea of how they are coaching their players. Coach 644 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 3: debot is he is a unique personality in the best 645 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 3: way possible. 646 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: Is he as energetic as we see him out on 647 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: the football? Okay? 648 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 3: Yes? And everything all right? 649 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: Good?

But yes, Red and 656 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: White practice on Saturday, a fourth padded practice of the week. 657 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: At least that's the plan.
