Here's Craig Griolou, Mike Jarecki, and 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: three time pro bowler Kyle Vandenbosch. Three weeks in the 13 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: training camp, gentlemen, and I think we've reached the point 14 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: where it's good that there's a preseason game later this week. 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Now we can argue the merits of preseason football by 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: do feel like this helps break up the monotony of camp, 17 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: Although that's just me as the media member. Kyle, you 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: played the game, you endured two a days. It's not 19 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: like it is now, but preseason did not have it 20 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: a year ago, but it is back, and I do 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: think there's a sense of welcome back almost. People are 22 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: looking forward to it. At least I know the young 23 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: players are. I don't know about maybe some of the 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: eight nine ten year vets around the league. Yeah, well, 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: everybody looks forward to it. Any opportunity to break up 26 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: the grind, break up the monotony of training camp. The 27 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: first preseason game always signaled a return to normalcy for 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: the players. You start to get into somewhat normal I 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: mean even though you'll still be in training camp, and 30 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: you come back a somewhat normal game week where you 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: start to break down film of opponents, you start to 32 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: prepare for opponents, and and and you know, probably more 33 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: than anything, you get an opportunity to compete against new people. 34 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: You kind of get tired of going against the same 35 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: guys every day, and you get an opportunity to see 36 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: what you've got against another team. When you look at 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: the roster right now and you know Cliff has an 38 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: announced what the starters are going to be, Well, what 39 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: would you like to see from the offense and defense? 40 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: And you know, if they want a nice long drive, 41 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: maybe get them out of there. But what would you 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: like to see from the starters? Efficiency, especially on offense. UM. 43 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: You want to see them move the ball, you want 44 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: to see them execute, you want to see um, you know, 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: a clean game, not not mistakes, no penalties. On defense, 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm hoping they get a little bit of action against 47 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: that first offense because it's it's a glimpse of what 48 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: this team will see week one in week two, where 49 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: you have a powerful running back and a strong running game, 50 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: and you have a talented receiving corps. So you can see, 51 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, how some of the defenses you might use, 52 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: even though they're probably not going to show everything, but 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: see how some of the things you might use in 54 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: Week one against the Titans or Week two against Minnesota. 55 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: You can see how some of those things will work, 56 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: and you can kind of toy with them a little bit. 57 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: Week part the preseason opener on Friday, the Dallas Cowboys 58 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: the opponents at State Farm Stadium, seven pm is the kickoff, 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals. We'll see the Cowboys later on during 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: the regular season, but a lot of time will have 61 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: passed between this Friday and then Sunday, January second, in 62 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: the regular season, MC Kayle, you brought up the efficiency 63 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: on the offense and then the new faces on that offense, 64 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 1: and specifically the center position Rodney Hudson, which I've maintained 65 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: is the biggest acquisition, whether that's a signing, a trade, 66 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: or a claim that Hudson is going to have perhaps 67 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: the biggest impact on this team, specifically in the offense 68 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: and his relationship with Kyler Murray. But now we get 69 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: to see it, and maybe it is only for a 70 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: drive and it might not be more than that a 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: handful of plays, but that chemistry between quarterback and center 72 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: is vital. It's absolutely vital. You know, it's another set 73 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: of eyes. It's a player that has seen every defense, 74 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: has seen every scheme, different types of personnel packages. So 75 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: Kyler's not back there pre snap trying to figure out 76 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: where the blitz is coming from, trying to figure out 77 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: what he needs to do. You've got a center that knows, 78 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: a center that's smart, and to me, one of the 79 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: big things he's going to bring. Um. I don't know 80 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: if you remember, late in the season, you start to 81 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: see teams take this kind of it's like a bizarre 82 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: pass rush plan, and it was kind of outside of 83 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: the box. New England would just get push up the 84 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: middle and then just get their hands up. Miami came 85 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: here and did the same thing. Where it wasn't it 86 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: was they were not really trying to get in the 87 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 1: backfield and get a sack. There was trying to create 88 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: a wall, get that push up the middle because we're 89 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: not dealing with a quarterback, you know, with all visibility, 90 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: he's not a six six, stand in the pocket type 91 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, so they were trying to get guys in 92 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: his face. Now you've got a center that's not only smart, 93 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: that not only has ability, he's got size too, and 94 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: he's strong. He can keep that rush at the line 95 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: of scrimmage where Kyler can stay in the pocket and 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: deliver the ball, and he's smart. MJ. I mean, we've 97 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: talked a lot about as far as you know, the 98 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, the metric, Pro Football Focus, and how he 99 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: ranks amongst the centers around the league, and then the the 100 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: fact that he was not penalized at all last season 101 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: and has just four penalties over the last three seasons total, 102 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: and penalty something that we talked a lot about. The 103 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: coaches that brought up every single day, got to cut 104 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: down on the number of penalties. Yeah, and when Sean 105 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: Coogler was announced the running game coordinator, that's one of 106 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: the things he addressed with the media. They got to 107 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: get better on the offensive line and in particular the interior. 108 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: And so you know, they went out and tried to 109 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: get a free agent signing and Corey Lindsley and he 110 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: end up signing with the Chargers, and then he thought 111 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: maybe Alex Mack and he went to the Niners. His 112 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: relationship with Kyle Shanahan and so here Cardinals make a 113 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: trade for him and it's like they hit a home 114 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: run sort of speaking. We're going to hear from Sean 115 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Coogler and his thoughts, but I think he's going to 116 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: settle things down that they can create that you and 117 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: they give Kyler a second or two, he can step 118 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: up in the pocket and start making those throws over 119 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Well, you referenced him Sean Cougler, 120 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: the offense of line coordinator or offensive line coach, run 121 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: game coordinator coach coogs on what Hudson brings to the 122 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. You know, he's an outstanding leader. You know, 123 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: he's a football junkie, He's always asking millions of questions. 124 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: Who always wants to watch extra film? He wants to 125 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: have the right answer and everything. He fits right in 126 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: in the room. The guys love him. He's an ultra competitor. 127 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: And to have a guy of that caliber at the 128 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: center position, you know, with Kyler behind him, I think 129 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: is really going to be a next step for our team. 130 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: And Googler MJ made it very clear from the beginning 131 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: of the off season and then brought it up recently 132 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: over this past weekend that they wanted to upgrade the 133 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: center position and that was something that they looked at, 134 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: and then to a certain extent, the Hudson acquisition kind 135 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: of fell into their lap because you know, he was 136 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,239 Speaker 1: an Oakland Raider, he was there prod there on their team, 137 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the thought that you know, 138 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: the news that he was gonna get released in there like, 139 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: wait a second, let's see what we can do to 140 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: get this guy on our team. Yeah, within twenty four hours, 141 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: the Cardinals were on the phone, and you know, the 142 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs had some interest, and Steve knew that 143 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: this was a priority. When you talk about physicality and 144 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: leadership and it's a huge upgrade. Nothing against Mason Cole. 145 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: I did think they misstake who Shipley, who was kind 146 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: of the glue of the defense, and I think it 147 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: was important did the Kyler start off with the veteran center, 148 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: but they're hoping that Cole would hold up and that 149 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: wasn't the case. So yeah, I mean they definitely upgraded that. 150 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: And now you're seeing Josh Jones get some reps to 151 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: right right guard. Couple and Beacham started all sixteen games 152 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: last year, and then you look at Justin Pugh and 153 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: then Dj Humphries. They feel good about their top eight 154 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: or nine guys and going into the preseason. More on 155 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: the Hudson acquisition. Here's the head coach, Click Lingsbury. We 156 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: did not expect him to become available going into it, 157 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: and when he was, we were thrilled with his experience. 158 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: Having a young quarterback. To have a veteran center like 159 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: that who's playing the games he's played, played at the 160 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: level he's played at, we thought it was a home 161 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: run for us. Kyle, you brought up the rush that 162 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was experience seen in the back half of 163 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: the last season, and there was just a lot of 164 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: pressure in his face. But if you have that interior 165 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: the offensive line, beginning with the center position and then 166 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: on either side or left guard, right guard, and to 167 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: what MJ was talking about, being able to step up 168 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: in the pocket and maintain control of the football, maybe 169 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: give the wide receivers a little bit more time to 170 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: get open. I think that might be something that we 171 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: didn't see a lot of this year, but hopefully this season. Yeah, absolutely, 172 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: having a clean pocket for Kyler would be it would 173 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: be a huge asset to this team. And not only 174 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, having that room up the middle on pass protection. 175 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: You know, just from what I've seen from the limited 176 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: amount of practice I've seen, this offense is running the 177 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: ball well in between the tackles. Last year, really over 178 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, you know, it's been a 179 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of sweeps, a lot of jet sweeps, 180 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: and that's been a big part of the run game. 181 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: But to have the ability to have some runs hit 182 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: north south to pick up three yards when you need 183 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: three yards, that's another thing that he's going to help 184 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: bring to this offense. You'll see a change in the 185 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: type of run plays that this offense can run. Now 186 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: you get a chance to watch practice today, and you 187 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: like their run game approach when they came in an 188 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: individual drills and some seven out nine on seven or 189 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven. Yeah, they looked I thought the offense, 190 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: especially early on in practice, looked really sharp. Broke some runs, 191 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: some runs that you know, maybe might not look great 192 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: to the fans that we're here today, but you know, 193 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: those three, four or five yard runs, especially early in 194 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: a game, those accumulate and take their toll on the 195 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: defense and really just keeps you on schedules. So you're 196 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: not in second and nine and you don't get in 197 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: third and six. You kind of just stay on schedule. 198 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: If you can get in second five, second six, you 199 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: have the whole playbook available for you. And then if 200 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: some of those run plays early on the game don't 201 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: amount too much, you go back to them in the 202 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: second half, fourth quarter because maybe you've made an adjustment 203 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: or you're looking to set something up. And that's again 204 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: something the fans don't understand all the time. It's like, oh, 205 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: why you keep running that play? Well, hey, attention to 206 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter because of a running this to set 207 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: up that. Yeah, exactly, And I think you know, again 208 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: perhaps with this team has lacked at times over the 209 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Is a really effective four minute 210 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: offense when you you're trying to protect the lead with 211 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: two three minutes left in the game and you just 212 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: need to get the chains moving. You don't need that 213 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: home run hitter. You don't need, you know, to pick 214 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: up fifteen yards. You just need to pick up the 215 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: first down and keep the clock running and try to 216 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: walk away with the win. So physicality and leadership a 217 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: couple of things that general manager Steve come touched on 218 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: were was his emphasis this offseason as far as to 219 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: improve the team. While they certainly have that with Hudson 220 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: as the center and in the leadership as well, he 221 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: does not say much, at least to us, but he 222 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: is a common influence in that offensive line room and 223 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: on the football field. Here's justin Pugh going through the offseason. 224 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: He hanging out and just getting to know what type 225 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: of man he is. He's he's awesome. We all know 226 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: what he can do on the football field, but the 227 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: intech it's almost like he's gonna get mad at me. 228 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: For a Chris Paul type of addition, where you bringing 229 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: a guy with that veteran leadership who knows how to 230 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: do things right off the field and it you know, 231 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: trickles onto the field. Well, if the Arizona Cardinals can 232 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: do what the Phoenix Suns did in one year's time 233 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: with the addition of one single player, M jam sure, everyone, 234 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: we'll take that here with the Arizona Cardinals in twenty 235 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: twenty one. Well, I mean, I think he's you know, 236 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: obviously using the parallel there, and we know how much 237 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: Chris Paul meant to the Suns and along those lines, 238 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think JJ Walker had the same impact 239 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: hunting off the field. But the you know, Pugh said 240 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: it and I agree with it where you know, you 241 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: see the instant leadership, Like you said, he doesn't say 242 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: a whole lot, and he's physical the point of attack 243 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: and that's something that Cardinal has been lacking at that 244 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: center position. Humphrey's brought up something from the Red and 245 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: White practice Kyle on and it was two minute situation 246 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: and things got a little hectic, and it was Hudson 247 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: who kind of guided everyone back in a straight line 248 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: and focused everyone on what they were able to do, 249 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: and he brought up the recall of a Rodney Hudson 250 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: as far as what he's able to get out of 251 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: the team. And I think that's another aspect that is 252 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: going to help the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, just the more 253 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: veteran leadership that can steady this ship in times like that. 254 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: And you know, one other thing we haven't really touched 255 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: on is throughout his career he's shown durability and availability 256 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: and when he is that guy, you know, God forbid 257 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: something would happen to be out of the lineup, it 258 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: would be difficult to replace. But he has shown he 259 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: is available and will be there on Sundays every week. 260 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: That might be the most important thing. Right there. We 261 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: continue as the Cardinals Red Sea report. Tight End Max 262 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: Williams will join us on the other side as we 263 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: come to you from State Farm Stadium, Cardinals training camp. 264 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: Howard by Cox right here on the Aroos on a 265 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: Cardinals radio network. First and goal to four, too tight 266 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: end to the right, snap to Murray and he pulls 267 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: it back cross to the left of Max Williams plot 268 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: and he's into the end zone for a touchdown. Welcome back, 269 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: Max Williams. Such a key guy for this Cardinal team 270 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: in the passing game and in the run game and 271 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: the Cardinals after that great run by Carler Murray a 272 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: third and nine get into the end zone Week nine 273 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. Max Williams, Yes, it was good 274 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: to have him back on the field a year ago, 275 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: and he is back with the Arizona Cardinals here in 276 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and joins us right now here on 277 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: the Cardinals reds Here Report. Max, appreciate you joining us 278 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes today. Thanks for having me. Guys, 279 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: Before we get into what Pass was alluding to on 280 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: that highlight call, as far as the impact that you 281 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: have on this offense, the most important question that we 282 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: have for you is the mustache. Is it's still in effect? 283 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: And how does it look? I actually just cleaned it 284 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: up our last out there. I got home. I had 285 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: to make a business decision, so I shaved it down, 286 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: got the mustache right, and might even go for the 287 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: twirl on one of these preseason games. I don't know. 288 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm still feeling it out all right, little handlebar action. 289 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: You think you know? I'm thinking the twirly twirl. Always 290 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: feeling up old school style. I love it. You're really 291 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: diving into this now. Has it gone over well at home? 292 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: With the family and the friends. Oh yeah, everyone's loving it. 293 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: It's one of those things. The tight end room, we 294 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: talked about it and said, hey, it's camp, it's a 295 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: new year, let's have some fun and let's change it 296 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: up a little bit. All right, Well, new year for you, 297 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: your third season with the Cardinals. But just what we 298 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: alluded to off the top, as far as the impact 299 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: you and this tight end specifically can have on this offense, 300 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: how much of a factor do you think you guys 301 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: can have with Kyler Murray and company. You know, I'm 302 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: gonna say the same thing I've been same all along. 303 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: We're just gonna be problem solvers. Whatever coach asks us 304 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: every day to do, we're gonna go out there and 305 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: do it to our best ability. Obviously, I got almost 306 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: common confidence in myself in my room to go out 307 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: there and execute whatever Kyler wants us to do and 308 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: Coach puts us in that situation. So we're gonna go 309 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: out there every day, work hard, and be problem solvers. 310 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: You know, I look at the loving personnel. I think 311 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: you're the perfect tight end for there. We always refer 312 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: to as a meet and potatoes guy. But you can 313 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: go on the team and make the catch, and it 314 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: allows Kyler to obviously go through his reads and then 315 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: twelve personnel. I think that was a second base offense 316 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: you guys had last year. What's it like when you 317 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: got double tight ends out there, or the fact that 318 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: when they go eleven personnel you have an option to 319 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: make that catch down the seam. You know, it's it's 320 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: one of those things. Whatever they're asking us to do again, 321 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: I'll say so it's it's obviously nice to get out 322 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: there in the past game and try to make plays 323 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: and being out there trying to help the team win. 324 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: But ultimately, I know my job. I know my role 325 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: at this team. So I'm gonna do my job and 326 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: when my numbers called upon, I'm gonna do my best 327 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: to make the plays. Now, when it comes to the offense, 328 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, Clip's been here three years now, when you 329 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: look at the offense, how much further you guys along 330 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: than you were a year ago. Now you're gonna have 331 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: preseason games you had a quote normal offseason for the 332 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: most part. How much better is his team on paper? 333 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: You know? I think I think we'll find out for 334 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: sure on Friday. I mean, it's hard to judge because 335 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: obviously we're just doing praxes and I think get the 336 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: true field that when you get to games. But I 337 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: think it all starts with number one over there taking 338 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: control of the offense. And I think it's really shown 339 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: this year. I know a lot of us have talked 340 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: about how much of a leader he's being and how 341 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: fun he is out there, And I think when I 342 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: have a quarterback that's out there having fun making plays, 343 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: it really helps the team rally behind it. And we're 344 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: excited to go that with this this year, and we're 345 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: all in with K one. We all believe in them, 346 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: and we're excited to see where the season goes. Speaking 347 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray, Max as we're joined by Cardinals tighten 348 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: Max Williams here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report. There 349 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: was a moment during the red and White practice on Saturday, 350 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: the connection was not there from Kyler Murray to you guys, missfired, 351 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: but you came right back to it later on and 352 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: practice during eleven on eleven, And I think it's that 353 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: play that can really open things up this offense. Is 354 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: that is the titan, whether it's you or someone else 355 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: down the middle. Are we seeing that more around the league, 356 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: just because everyone wants to spread out and all of 357 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: a sudden that middle becomes a little bit more open. 358 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: You know. I think it's just building chemistry and getting opportunities. 359 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: And obviously, you say around the lead, I think one 360 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: of the best at running those kind of routes is 361 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews in Baltimore. I think he's really showing that 362 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: what he can do across the middle. And obviously you 363 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: got the guys like Kittle, Kelsey, Gronk. I've been doing 364 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: it for how long and it's really kind of a 365 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: season the opportunity. Like you guys said, everyone like spraying 366 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: it out so much. It does give that tight end 367 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: the freedom to try to make plays down the middle, 368 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: and it's all about building that chemistry and getting that 369 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: trust with k one back there to know that we're 370 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: gonna be out there and making plays when we have 371 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: the opportunity to talk to us about the rest of 372 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: those guys in that tight ends room. We know about yourself, 373 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: Durell Daniels, but who else in that room has impressed 374 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: you or has really come along so far in camp? 375 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think everyone in that room has. Obviously, 376 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: you got a cycle coming over first time playing big 377 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: time ball over here, just from where he was day 378 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: one to the strides he's made. Then you got Carry 379 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: coming in and he's starting to throw his body around, 380 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: really showing that he's starting to figure out the offense. 381 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: Ross is that guy that's out there making plays. Obviously 382 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: you guys seen him run. I mean he's moving. Me 383 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: and Durell got that chemistry. We're trying to keep going. 384 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: And then Ian really making strides from not having preseason 385 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: last year. I think he was with Indian camp and 386 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: then coming in this year, so I know he's made 387 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: some good strides. So it's gonna be exciting to get 388 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: all those guys out there on Friday and see what 389 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: we can do when we're actually going against an opponent. Yeah, 390 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: I've been really impressed by Ross. Travis number forty eight. 391 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: Burt Gang, if you've been had a bill to get 392 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: out here to State Farm Stadium and Cardinals training camp 393 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: powered by Cox, but another opportunity to coming up on 394 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: Friday when the Dallas Cowboys come here to State Farm Stadium. 395 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: You brought up Psychovitz. Excuse me, Psycho, but Bernhard Psychovitz 396 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: officially part of the league's International Player Pathway program. How 397 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: is his adjustment and how have you guys been able 398 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: to maybe indoctrinate him in the US and the American culture. 399 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: You know, I've been very impressed on just how well 400 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: he picked up the offense since terminology and how much 401 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: he understands what football is. Obviously, he was coming over 402 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: from was at Austria, so he has never played that 403 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: big time football, so it's going to be him learning 404 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: what it's like to be out there at the NFL speed. 405 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: But mentally it's just been it's been impressive of what 406 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: he's done. And for the United States stuff. We're talking 407 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: first first time we get we're gonna watch Taddagan Knights 408 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,239 Speaker 1: with him. He has never seen it. So we've been 409 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: in tight end meetings quoting a lot of Ricky Bobby 410 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: and Tall Daggan nights just to get them ready, to 411 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: show them what it's all about. All Right, you've been 412 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: in the league long enough. Don't know how much you're 413 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: gonna play in these preseason games. Obviously you like to, 414 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, get down the timing with Kyler, But what's 415 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: your advice is some of these young guys first preseason 416 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: game lights are bright, and we know that when you're 417 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: thinking you can't react. What will be your advice? As 418 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: some of these younger guys, all I can speak for 419 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: is what we talked about in the tight end room, 420 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: and I keep telling them every day it's like, it's 421 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: a try out. No matter what it is, there's gonna 422 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: be thirty two teams watching this film. So it doesn't 423 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: matter what's going on with our team or any other team. 424 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: You put good film out there, someone's gonna want you 425 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: to play for him. And that's why I'm telling all 426 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: my rookies and young guys it doesn't matter if it's 427 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: special teams, if it's offense, go out there and make 428 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: yourself known, have an impact, play fast, and good things 429 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: will come with it. You're the leader in that tight 430 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: ends room. But when you were a rookie, flashback, who 431 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: did you lean on? Who did you learn from that 432 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: You have taken something now to where all right, I'm 433 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: going to has it along to someone else. You know, 434 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: when I was first draft in Baltimore, we actually had 435 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: a pretty young room. I think Crockey Gilmour was in 436 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: the second year, Me and Nick Boyle or rookies, and 437 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: then Dennis Pittter was the oldest guy and he was 438 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: just coming off as hip. So really it was one 439 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: of those rooms we got together and look, we were like, hey, 440 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: we got something to prove or a young crew. So 441 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: we kind of looked at all the other older guys 442 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: in the offense with like Steve Smith, Senior Flacco and 443 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: all those guys that have been around, been Super Bowl 444 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: playoffs and really learned what it meant to work hard 445 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: and really step up, do your job, do what to 446 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: ask for you and when you're tired, that's when you 447 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: have to make a play. So that's what I kind 448 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: of brought to hear when I'm in that room. Now, 449 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: the tight ends is, hey, we might get tired, we 450 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: might not be doing something we want, but we're gonna 451 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: do our job the best viability and we're gonna have 452 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: fundoing it. Max should talk about eleven towards twelve person 453 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: you're an extension from the offensive line, and we know 454 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: going out and getting Rodney Hudson and obviously you know 455 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: the way Josh Shalens is playing in Calvin Beecham and 456 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: Ugh and Hump talk about that unit because I on paper, 457 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: I mean this unit could be special. I know when 458 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: they want to run the ball play action. But what 459 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: do you think of the offensive line as a whole. 460 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you have anything complain about 461 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: when you look at our offensive line, even if you're 462 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: saying the guys that aren't repping right now, I think 463 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: we have so much depth this year, so much opportunity 464 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: to really do something special. And I mean you guys 465 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: see when you guys come around team see it practices 466 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: all the fantasye how well the old line gets along. 467 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: I mean, that's one big crew that's always in a 468 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: good mood. They're never complaining. They show up every day, 469 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: they work, they have fun, and they're always smiling. Along 470 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: the same lines with the offensive line. And to tie 471 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: it in as far as Chase Edmonds and James Connor 472 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: and how much of a how much we might see 473 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more running the rushing attack because the 474 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: theme this offseason from Genlem manager Steve com was leadership 475 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: and get more physical. So how much do you think 476 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: we might see Connor and Edmunds and just the entire 477 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: offense kind of using that running game more. You know, 478 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: I think we're just gonna take it day by day. 479 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's hard for Dick I can't 480 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: speak for coach. Obviously, I'm not the one calling the plays, 481 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 1: but I know that whole room. I know everyone's preparing 482 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: for whatever we can do to win. I think that's 483 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: gonna be the biggest thing is here is we have 484 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: to win those games that are close. So I don't 485 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: know if that's getting the ball more to spread out 486 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: more not as much. It's we're gonna do whatever coach 487 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: believes is the best way to win. We're gonna buy 488 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: in fully, go behind our leader in K one, and 489 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna go out there and do our job. Well, 490 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: you talked about Steve Hyden. You know, we talk about coops, 491 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: and you know James Sex and a running backs coach, 492 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 1: and he also had Jim and Dre. I mean, how 493 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: much do you get a coaching from a guy like 494 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: Steve Hyden. Well, it's great having Steve in the room. 495 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: Obviously a Minnesota guy, gott in close with him, but 496 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: he's also a coach that was a player for a 497 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: long time in this league, so he understands what it's 498 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: like to be out there. So he's never asking us 499 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: something that he knows won't work. He's out there from 500 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: his experience coaching us on what he did to have 501 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: such a successful career, and we've really bought into that. 502 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: And me personally, I can say Steve's really helped truly 503 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: shape my career for what I'm doing on the line 504 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and that's been from day one. He said, Hey, 505 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: you guys, buy into what I'm saying. It works. I've 506 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: done it and that's why that's really what we've done. 507 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: So having him in the room, just him having that 508 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: experience being a mentor to all of us has been 509 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: unbelievably great. Speaking with Cardinals tied in Max Williams here 510 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Reds, he reports, let's kind of look 511 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: at what you've seen from the other side of the ball, 512 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: specifically at inside linebacker Zaven Collins, Isaiah Simmons, those guys 513 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: that are gonna be asked to cover the opposing tied 514 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: in a lot of the time this season. What have 515 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: you The first impression of Zaven and in a full 516 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: offseason are under Simmons is belt on how much he's 517 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: improved from year one to year two. I mean, yeah, 518 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: Zaven obviously is getting called upon to have a big role, 519 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: obviously being an a first round pick, being in the 520 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: middle there, and from what I've seen, what we've watched, 521 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they both have really stepped up their game 522 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: and elevated. They know what's at stake for us this season, 523 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: and they know what's going to be asked to them, 524 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: and they're really season the opportunity. It shows they both 525 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: worked well. Isaiah showed he worked very hard this offseason. 526 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: He came back ready to play, and they do have 527 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: a great rate leadership. Obviously, Jordan's been in the league 528 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: a long time, so he's over there. They got a 529 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: great mentor in Jordan who's truly been a great start 530 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: in this league as well, So they do have that 531 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: guy to look to, you know, and they have advice 532 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: and they're really starting to mesh over there. Max's always 533 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: good to talk with you. Best to luck this entire 534 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: season and have some fun on Friday.

We continue here. We have reached hap time. 539 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: We'll continue this to Cardinals Red Sea Report right here 540 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network ass over the middle 541 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: pot to buy sims at the forty five and dumped 542 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: immediately by Murphy. Job right there, Murphy and cover Irland 543 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: Murphy ruly growing throws it and z near side broken 544 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: up by Murphy. Was there against Taylor I mur Murphy 545 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: one on one in the back of the end zone. 546 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: Made a play on the ball. Here it is fourth 547 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: and five of the nine ers on the sixteen of 548 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals Garoppolo the pass, throw us to the right 549 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: side and complete it's Murphy steps in front of the 550 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: receiver and knocks the ball down. The Cardinals takeover on 551 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: downs with thirty three seconds ago. Byron Murphy makes a 552 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: play on the pig. All that is big time. What 553 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: a play by Byron Murphy. And a couple of game 554 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: winning passes defense last season talking about Byron Murphy the 555 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: longest tenured arrows on a Cardinal cornerback that are nine 556 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: in the room and Murphy entering year three with the 557 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: arrows and the Cardinals and we'll go back to January ninth. 558 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Vans. Shows have asked about the cornerbacks quote. 559 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: It starts with Murphy as we welcome you back here 560 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals Red Sea report, Craig Griel, Mike Trecki 561 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: and Kyle and and Bosch talking about that back line 562 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: of the defense corner back and Byron Murphy in there 563 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: with Robert Alford, Malcolm Butler. Those are your top three MJ. 564 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: And then there's I guess a bit of a question 565 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,239 Speaker 1: Mark Marco Wilson has flashed here in training camp. You've 566 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: got a couple of veterans and dark was Denard and 567 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: Daryl Worley, Tay Gowan the other cornerbacks selected, and the 568 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: draftback in April, So there is a great deal of 569 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: numbers you're just wondering about as far as experience and 570 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: guys who are capable of playing on Sundays. Yeah, and 571 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: you know that a lot of teams run eleven personnel, 572 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: three wide, one tight, one back about sixty seven to 573 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: seventy percent of the time. But what happens when teams 574 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: come out with two wide receivers and two tight ends. 575 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: I gotta think it's going to be Byron Murphy and 576 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler and Robert Alford would be here more Nickel 577 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: and dime guy. Yeah, and coach Joseph Kyle has made 578 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: that clear that Byron Murphy is going to be on 579 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: the field. It's either going to be an outside corner 580 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: or inside when you've got multiple wide receivers. And I 581 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: think just one two shows to the versatility of Murphy 582 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: and then just how far he's come, because remember as 583 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: a rookie Week one, you know, there's no Patrick Peterson, 584 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: Robert Alford's hurt, and then all of a sudden, it's 585 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: Murphy as your number one cornerback, just fresh out of college. Yeah, 586 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: and it's not only the team's confidence in him. You 587 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: can see the way he carries himself at practice. He's 588 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: developed confidence in a hurry. I don't know, just watching him, 589 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a player that has more 590 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: fun out there at practice with the music going and 591 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: dancing and hopping around out on the field, and you know, 592 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: that type of energy is infectious. And you know, and 593 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: it's not just that you can see him with his 594 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: coverage skills and with a grasp of his defense. He's 595 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: he's really turned into an elite type of player. When 596 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 1: you look at the you know, the cornerback position. You know, 597 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: I think Marco Wilson, he's getting a lot of chances 598 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: to play on special teams Gunner, we know about the 599 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: speed there. Do they keep five because I think he 600 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, he take owen to me, We're gonna have 601 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: to see something in the preseason. But Darkus Denard he 602 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: can play inside and outside. He's got his hands on 603 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: a few football So the top four guys do have experience, 604 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: but you'd like to get that athleticism from a guy 605 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: like Marco Wilson. So do they keep five corners and 606 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: four safeties? Do they keep ten? Back there? Five and five? 607 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: And clearly they all won't be active on game day? No. 608 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: And of course you got to be able to play 609 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: on special teams as well. We've seen Murphy do that 610 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: a handful of times, whether that's back to return punts 611 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: or any other special teams areas. But Kyle, you brought 612 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: up Murphy's confidence, and there is that fine line between 613 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: confidence and just having a big head and thinking more 614 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: of yourself. But you walk that fine line some players do. 615 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: But with Murphy, you know, there is a belief not 616 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: only in himself but just in his ability. And I 617 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: think that's what we see on the field, is it 618 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: just kind of carries over from what he thinks to 619 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: what he's actually showing on the football field. Yeah, you're 620 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: exactly right. And he has a type of confidence that's contagious, 621 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: especially for the players around him. And you know you 622 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: can you can earn that type of confidence with I 623 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: mean with the receivers you go against in practice every day. 624 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: We're talking about a potentially elite group of wide receivers, 625 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: and he's doing a good job and holding his own 626 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: in practice. He has the ability to play, as we mentioned, 627 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: either inside or outside, and I loved his response. He 628 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: was a guest recently on The Big Red Rage Ron 629 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: Wilfley asking Byron Murphy where he would like to be 630 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: if given the choice on that defense, do you ever 631 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: preference as to where you'd like to play? Inside or all? 632 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: My thing is put me wherever the best receiver is. 633 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's inside or outside. I'm just 634 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: trying to go out there and compete. I could play wherever. 635 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: I could see a big difference, bigger steps in my game, 636 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 1: you know, seeing route, seeing combinations, more quicker and faster 637 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: and get to you know, letting my linebacker know a 638 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: you gotta scoot over top of him and go low 639 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: because I know a crossing the route Mester I was coming. 640 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: So I'm glad I got to experience how many plays 641 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: in my rookie year. You know, year two is still 642 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: the same thing. I'm so thankful I was able to, 643 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: you know, go out there and play. I'm any snaps 644 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: because now you know, I'm seeing things clear. I could 645 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: help out the guys. You know, all right, Kyle week one, 646 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: A J Brown, Julio Jones. Is that the assignment? Yeah, 647 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how you defend that quite honestly. I 648 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: mean it's you've got on top of that, you're trying 649 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: to load up the box against the one of the 650 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: best running attacks and running backs in the league. You know, 651 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're gonna have to go a healthy dose 652 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: of one on one versus either one or both of 653 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: those receivers so that you're not getting killed in the 654 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: run game. So you know, we're gonna find out real 655 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: quick where we stand coverage wise with this defensive backfield 656 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: and how they can hold up against some of the 657 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: best in the game. Well, the wildcard in that room 658 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: is Robert Alford. We know he has the talent, it's 659 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: just the inability to be healthy. Now two seasons in 660 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: a row. He hasn't made it to Week one, and 661 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: I've joked that maybe it's just time to put him 662 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: in bubble wrapping. We don't need to see him in 663 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: any preseason game or even in practice, but I'll say this, Kyle, 664 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: he does look very good in training camp. This is 665 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: the third year in a row in which he has been, 666 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: if not the best, one of the best defensive players 667 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: in the secondary. And that's good to see, you know, personally, 668 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: being a player that's struggled with injuries and oftentimes and 669 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: they're in back to back seasons. For him to be 670 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: able to bounce back and look as good as he 671 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: looks and have the ability at the potential to return 672 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: to his old form, you know, that's just a huge 673 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: plus for the Cardinals to have the options that they 674 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: have on the outside because if he's if he can 675 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: get into the season and play the way we all 676 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: see him playing and the way we expect him to play, 677 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: it really opens things up for this defense. Now, it's 678 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: one thing for us on the sidelines to notice Robert Alford, 679 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: what about his teammates? DeAndre Hopkins asked about what he 680 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: goes up against each and every day, with Alford on 681 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: the other side. Yeah, I love it. I think like 682 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: one up against me. Also just because they know they 683 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: have to, you know, strap up. Rob is obviously somebody 684 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: that I knew before I got into the NFL. Him 685 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: and I trained together for the combine. So Rob and 686 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: I'll go back. Rob know how I you. I know 687 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: how Rob is, and we're trying to get each other 688 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: better out there. It's not personal. Watching Alford on the 689 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: practice field, MJ. Every single rep is like the most 690 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: important play that particular day, and as he practices, let's 691 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: hope that's how he plays. We haven't seen it, but 692 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: just knowing his background, what he did before arriving with 693 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, that's who he is. I mean, he's gonna 694 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: give one hundred percent Monday through Friday getting in or 695 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: why should say Monday through Saturday getting ready for the game, 696 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: and then of course on Sunday. I think we can 697 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: make the case when you look at Malcolm Butler, Byron 698 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: Murphy and then you're throwing a guy like Alford physicality, 699 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: they're going to press up the line of scrimmage. All 700 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: three like to tackle, and that hasn't been the case 701 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years. So if teams want to go 702 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: eleven personnel, utilize your skill set those cornerbacks. But really 703 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: the run game, attacking the edge and physically at the 704 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, you're not going to see 705 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: guys get off press coverage initially like you maybe see 706 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: on a couple less clear And that's something that defensive 707 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: coordinat Advanced Joseph brought up when he addressed the media. 708 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: Asked about the corners, Kyle was the tackling ability, and 709 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: there are some corners out there, number one corners that 710 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 1: just don't like to tackle. Yet according to coach Joseph, 711 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: the corners they have on the roster right now are 712 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: not afraid of getting their nose bent a little bit. 713 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 1: Now that's huge. It's huge because, uh, you know, coordinators 714 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: will find a way to attack players that don't want 715 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 1: to tackle and they will get to the edge. And 716 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: when you have corners that are going to step up 717 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: and at least um take on a blocker and send 718 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: it back, it shrinks the field. You know, when when 719 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: you have corners that are you know, seem to find 720 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: a back pedal when the runs come in their way 721 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: or take these mysterious angles to try to tackle the 722 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: ball carrier um all of a sudden the field. You know, 723 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: there in every blade of grass on that field that 724 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: they can the offense is but if you can shrink 725 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: it to even you know, keep the run game between 726 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: the hashes, then you have an opportunity to get everybody 727 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: else involved in and it really helps your defense out. 728 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: Well it's not even just that, but on a catch, Okay, 729 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: it's a five yard game, but that's it. There's no 730 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: yards after the catch. I mean, you're coverage, but maybe 731 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: it's just a better throw, but you're not afraid to 732 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: stop the guy, and all of a sudden, that five 733 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: yard game turns into fifteen, twenty twenty five yards and 734 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: you're looking at your back. Yeah, especially on third and eighth. 735 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of teams will hit that five 736 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: yard route and expect that receiver to get the first down. 737 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 1: But if if you have good tacklers, guys that aren't 738 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: afraid to throw, and guys that are able to bring 739 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: that receiver down, that's that's huge because you know, it's 740 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: a lot harder for the quarterback with your coverages to 741 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, pick up those third and longs. It's it's 742 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: a lot easier to throw that check down if you 743 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: have a good receiver that can make a defender miss 744 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: and get that first down. I know it's going to 745 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: be dictated an opponent, you know, facing a different offense 746 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: or defense. But do you think this defense is more 747 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: built for man demand press or sometimes they're gonna have 748 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: to play his own. I think they're built for man 749 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: demand quite honestly. You know, again with the ability, especially 750 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: the guys on the outside, to be physical to disrupt routes. 751 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: Because when you have potentially the type of pass rush 752 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,479 Speaker 1: that this defense is going to have, the quarterback doesn't 753 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: have all day. He doesn't have time for the receiver 754 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: to break open off of that man demand press. So 755 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: if you can get physical Vigan jam I got the 756 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,919 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, mess up their timing, hopefully the pass 757 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: rush will get home before that receiver has an opportunity 758 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: to get any sort of separation. One other note on 759 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: the cornerback position, MJ. We've talked about Wilson and how 760 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: well he's played, and then there is that you know, 761 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: he is a Day three pick, but coming out of 762 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: the SEC and Florida, the confidence because he's matched up 763 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: against elite receivers on Saturdays, so he might be a 764 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: little bit better prepared for Sundays. And I like the 765 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: way the Cardinals do some of their drills. I mean, yes, 766 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: you want to have eleven on eleven first versus first, 767 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: but in some of their drills he's been covering DeAndre 768 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: Hopkins and at certain times AJ Green. That's only going 769 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: to get you better comparing for these preseason games coming up. 770 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: Bird Gang.

We'll get 775 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: to that next Here on the Arizona Cardinals where Idio Network, 776 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: we're the sixteenth pick the Arizona Cardinals select Zavin Shack. 777 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: You better have a number twenty three. Davon Gallins. That 778 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: dude's an Animals six three, two sixty linebacker, one of 779 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: the best linebackers in all of college football. What I 780 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: liked about him was everything football acumen, instincts, coverability. This 781 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: guy's gotten rare and unusual lument skills for a guy 782 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: who's only six foot five, two and sixty five. I 783 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: only dream of Arizona and being in that organization, in 784 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: that community with everything there to something that I've dreamed of. 785 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: And we call thinking about the preseason opener coming up 786 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: on Friday here at State Farm Stadium the Dallas Cowboys 787 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: in town. Seven pm is the kickoff. Three thirty pm 788 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: pregame coverage begins on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. For me, gentlemen, 789 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: it is very easy what I want to see, and 790 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: that would be Zavian Collins, not just because Kyle. He's 791 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: the first round draft pick. He's the new piece, He's 792 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: the new toy. Now he's your quarterback of the defense. 793 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: He's making the calls or at least being that middleman 794 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: between Vance Joseph to the players, and it is a 795 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: huge responsibility, you know, more than either one of us. 796 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: But I think the more we see Zaman Collins in 797 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: the preseason, the better this team will become the regular season. Yeah, 798 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'm excited, curious just anticipating what 799 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: it's going to look like with him out there. And 800 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: I've been on teams before where we've drafted a mic backer, 801 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: and we put him in as a starter, but we 802 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: would have a will linebacker called the defense. We would 803 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: have the will linebacker, you know, call the huddle, would 804 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: call the strength and just to take some off of 805 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: his plate. But they're just giving it all to him, 806 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: and they're you know, I can't imagine, you know, again 807 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: looking back to my rookie year and you're in a 808 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 1: huddle with guys that you used to watch on Sundays 809 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: going against guys used to watch on Sundays, and it's just, 810 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, my head is spending and it's a bit overwhelming, 811 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: and this kid seems to be able to take it 812 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: all in stride and seems ready for this moment. You know. 813 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: Billy Davis was on Dugan Wolf this morning on UM 814 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: and he mentioned that, you know, sometimes you want to 815 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: stack back to back. He's, you know, where you're productive, 816 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: but also the details. Talk about the details. They're both 817 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: him and Simmons are facing against you know, a Cowboys offense. Yeah, 818 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean there's just so much um. You know, where 819 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: you are when the ball is snapped is not where 820 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: you need to be on your first step, and then 821 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: your third step needs to be another direction. It's just 822 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: all about your keys. It's about adjustments. I mean a 823 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 1: lot of these teams in the NFL, especially when they 824 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: know you have two young inside linebackers, is they're just 825 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: going to try to confuse you with the looks, with 826 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: the alignments, with the shifts, with the motions and and 827 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: that's the type of stuff hopefully he sees in the preseason. 828 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: Now saying that, you know, a lot of teams, a 829 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: lot of offenses, especially they don't care about, you know, 830 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: beating the Cardinals in the preseason, and they are going 831 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: to try to keep it vanilla. Um. But hopefully he 832 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 1: gets a little dose of that, gets get some motion, 833 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: gets some different looks, and um, you know, I think 834 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. No, we've talked a lot 835 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: about Zavian Collins. Let's hear from the Cardinals first round 836 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: draft pick. In this locker room are great, you know. 837 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: Of course, being the young guy on the team, guys 838 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: have been on me before. Guys have come up to 839 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 1: me and and yelled at me, done stuff like that because 840 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: they have a passion for the game. I have a 841 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: passion for a game as well. I have no experience 842 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: right now, but pretty soon to do or die, you 843 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: have to do it, and those guys are pushing me 844 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 1: every day to be in that position. So it's a 845 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: very friendly environment and it does make a difference. Whenever 846 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: you're close to your team, there is going to be 847 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: a learning curve, Kyle, and there are going to be 848 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: mistakes made a lot of mistakes. Just don't make the 849 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: same mistake twice. But what I've noticed, and I don't 850 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 1: know if this is just to get reps, but we're 851 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of three inside linebackers on the field 852 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: with Zavan Collins, Isaiah Simmons and Jordan Hicks. And you 853 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: wonder if that's by design because of the opponents that 854 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: they might face, or also with Hicks as the veteran, 855 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: maybe he could help both young players Collins and Simmons 856 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: along a little bits got him by the hand. Yeah, 857 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a little both. And it's also you know, 858 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: it's what good coordinators do. You take advantage of your personnel. 859 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,720 Speaker 1: And if Jordan Hicks is having a good camp, it'd 860 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: be unfortunate if you could use him on the field 861 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: and use his veteran leadership like he said, but also 862 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 1: use his playmaking ability. And we've seen that in the past, 863 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: So you know you want to you want your players 864 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: on the field. You want your difference makers on the field. 865 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: And the more difference makers that the Cardinals can have 866 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 1: on the field at one time, the better off they're 867 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 1: going to be. Anything else. MJ. You're looking forward to 868 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: seeing Friday. I mean, whether it's offense, defense, or even 869 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: special teams. As far as what might happen in the 870 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: return game, I'm always curious about new guys and then 871 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: the rookie class. You know, we'll see how many make 872 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,959 Speaker 1: the roster. But getting back to Collins or he can't 873 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: go one hundred miles an all right, he's gonna be 874 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: seventy five or eighty. Otherwise you're over pursuing. Yeah, I mean, 875 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: especially inside backers usually, But it just depends what they're 876 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: asking of him. I mean, if you know some three 877 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: four type defenses, Look, you're big guys, are your space 878 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: eaters and your linebackers get to go wherever they want, 879 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: whether it's over pursue or not. Like ray Lewis used 880 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: to do. I mean he was clean a lot of plays, 881 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: but he could flow and read plays and diagnose. But 882 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, I don't see that that's the way that 883 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: this defense is built, you know, because you have playmakers 884 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: up front and you have other guys that have the 885 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: ability to make those plays as well, So you know, 886 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of what they're asking him to 887 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: do well. We altually interesting to see and maybe it's 888 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: not so much on Friday, but as the preseason progresses, 889 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: where does Simmons go. You know, he's going to start 890 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: as an inside linebacker, but then from there, depending on 891 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: what the offense shows, is he moving into coverage, is 892 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: he dropping back? Is he moving forward as a blitz? 893 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: Because I think that is something that we were all 894 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: anticipating a year ago and that was kind of poop 895 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 1: pooed a little bit. But we did see Simmons in 896 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 1: a number of different positions last year. I think he's 897 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: gonna have four or five different positions. And you talked 898 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: about getting the three inside linebackers on the field together. 899 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: That allows Chandler Jones to be on the outside and 900 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,720 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons on the other side, rotating with either Kannard 901 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 1: or Marcus Golden. Offensively, I don't know how much we'll 902 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: see DeAndre Hopkins, probably not any of aj Green. Rondel 903 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: Moore returned to practice today and suddenly I loved to 904 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: see him catch a few balls or at least catch 905 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: a few punts or even kickoffs. Yeah, I'll say this, 906 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: This is a big you know, three games for guys 907 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: like Andy Isabella and Keishawn Johnson and some of these 908 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: undrafted free agents. You know, guys like Joe Joe Ward 909 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: who was on the practice squad last year, so golden opportunities. 910 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: You know, aj Green hasn't returned to practice, so like 911 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: see this because Isabella has flashed Keyshawn Johnson is now 912 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: playing more on special teams as a gunner. And you 913 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: told me he asked for more reps today, which is 914 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 1: a good thing. So he knows if you're going to 915 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: be that fifth receiver, you have to play on teams 916 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: and the running back position Chase Edmonds, James Connor. But 917 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: who is that third running back? Maybe do they keep four? 918 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: Jonathan Ward? Edo Benjamin certainly have looked good. And this 919 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: is what the preseason is about, Kyle, Right, you're evaluating 920 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: who can be your depth. It's not so much about 921 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: the ters, it's the guys that you might be called 922 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: upon to play week six, week fifteen. Now, you're exactly right. 923 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, with most teams, there's forty some 924 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: players that you know already made the team prior to 925 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: training camp. It's those back half of the guys, the 926 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 1: back part of the lineup, of the back part of 927 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: the roster, I'm sorry that are really going to make 928 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 1: the difference in wins and losses because you know, so 929 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: many games in this league come down to just that 930 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,320 Speaker 1: one or two plays, and you're going to lean on 931 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 1: these players either for depth or for special teams play, 932 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,720 Speaker 1: and so you need to find those players that really 933 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 1: really shore up the back end of your roster. It's 934 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: Friday night State Farm Stadium. The Cardinals host the Dallas Cowboys, 935 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: the preseason opener for the Cardinals. The Cowboys played in 936 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame game, so we'll see maybe how 937 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: much some of those Cowboys starters play because it's their 938 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: second preseason game, but against seven pm, three thirty. The 939 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: pregame coverage begins on Theo's and the Cardinals Radio Network, 940 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: and then in one week's time, we'll talk about what 941 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: we saw on Friday nights.
