Speaker 1: roster changes, coaching changes and the change this week on

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: today's show, gentlemen, as you can tell the voice a

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: little bit, well, we're about questionable, but we persevere here

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: on this Cardinals Red Sea Report with the ever ey

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Tuesday eleven am throughout this season. But a lot to

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: get into with respect to the NFL. Yes, we'll get

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: into championship Sunday. Yes, the other constant in the NFL

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady making it to the Super Bowl. More

21
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: on that later, but MJ, we do now have some

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: coaching changes that we can officially talk about. It had

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: been rumored, it had been reported, but now official. Sean Coogler,

24
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals offensive line coach, has been added run game

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: coordinator title, Cam Turner promoted to quarterbacks coach, and a

26
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: new name, Sean Jefferson is the new wide receivers coach. Yeah,

27
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: you look at Sean Coogler. I mean, you know, over

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the past two seasons, the Cardinals you know, you know

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: ran for you know, you know, over two thousand yards

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: in twenty touchdowns in twenty two touchdowns in twenty twenty.

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: And he's always had a voice, but I think he's

32
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: gonna have a bigger voice when it comes to the

33
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: run game. And we know that James Sex and the

34
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: running backs coach and Steve Heidener involved and I assume

35
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: Cliff will be the passing game coordinator along with the

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: play callers. So you know, I think they wanted to

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: keep everything in the house. So we know that Kugler's

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: got a big say, and you know it's curious to

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: see what that offensive line is. But I do think

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: he's worthy of a promotion. And then Cam Turner, he's

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: been working with the quarterbacks and now he gets another title.

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: If you're not familiar with him, he's the guy that

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: wears the green hat on game day. Yeah here and

44
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray constant communication on Sunday. And he's replacing Tom

45
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Clements who has retired. Jefferson replaced David Rye, who reportedly

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: is on his way to Vanderbilt to be the new

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Batrain, you look at what the coaching changes

48
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: are and right now it strictly is on the offensive

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: end of the football. What do you make of what

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: was announced yesterday? Well, I think Kugler, I think it

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: was well deserved, the fact that the offensive line has

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: been so impressive under his two religion and to put

53
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: him in charge of the run game. I know the

54
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: big fellas up front will be happy with that, and

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: I know coach Coogler will bring that balance to this offense.

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: And let's keep in mind, this offense has been very good.

57
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: It hasn't been great, it hasn't been all world, but

58
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: it's been very good. And I think having an old

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: line coach who can bring that type of experience and

60
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: that type of knowledge to a game plan and put

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: him in charge of the ring game. I think that

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: that's that's exactly what you're doing. Then when you start

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: talking about quarterback coach and wide receiver coach, you look

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: at the quarterback dealing with Kyler. I mean, it's it's

65
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: not going to be as difficult of a job as

66
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: many might think. I know for Kyler, he has definitely

67
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: made an ascension to one of the top quarterbacks in

68
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: the league, and right now you just want to make

69
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: sure that he continues to a sin and and get

70
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: better each and every year. And then receiver coach. Again,

71
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: when you have the opportunity to coach the type of

72
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: player that the Cardinals have at those positions, it makes

73
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: your job that much easier and they make you look

74
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: so much better. So I think it was three great decisions,

75
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: and I really believe that the Cardinal office would be

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: better off for it. You know, it marked the sixth

77
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: time in franchise history since nineteen eighty four where the

78
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals rushed were over two thousand yards or more in

79
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: twenty touchdowns in a single season. Now they did finish

80
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: seventh overall, averaging one hundred and thirty nine yards. I

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: do think they tailed off a little bit maybe in

82
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: those last two games when they were playing the Niners

83
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: and the Rams. And as for Jefferson, I mean a

84
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: former player. His son's a rookie on the Rams van

85
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: and you look where he's been. I mean he was

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: with the Jets. So Robbie Anderson got paid last year.

87
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: He went to Carolina. He spent time with the Dolphins, Lions,

88
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: and Titans, and he was in Detroit and he was

89
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: credited with tutoring a guy like Calvin Johnson, so b

90
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: train and I think it was an important higher he

91
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: wanted a former player. He spent thirteen years in the NFL.

92
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: He played for the Chargers, Patriots, Falcons, and Lions. What's

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: that mean when it comes to that wide receiver room, Well,

94
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: anytime that you can bring experience to the table, it

95
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: definitely gets the attention of the players that are in

96
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: the locker room to have somebody in there that has

97
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: been through it and done it, that holds a certain

98
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: amount of weight, and that holds a certain amount of cache.

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: And I know for DeAndre Hopkins, I really believe that

100
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 1: he's going to buy in because quite frankly, he knows

101
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: the name. The name is familiar to him. It's a

102
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: name a guy that's well respected around the NFL. As

103
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: you've named the different places that he's been, he's been

104
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: a professional everywhere, and the fact that he was productive,

105
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: he definitely can give those receivers a lot of firsthand

106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: knowledge of what it's like to be out there on

107
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: the field. And and for those guys that really want

108
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: to continue to get better, and I know Dee Hoppin

109
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: and Kirk and and all those guys are going to

110
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: really try to better themselves. And what better way to

111
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: do that than learned from a guy who played as

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: long as coach Jefferson did and be as productive as

113
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: he was thirteen years and he also appeared in a

114
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: couple of Super Bowls. Clearly, the Cardinals need more production

115
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: from Andy Isabella, Christian Kirk, Keyshawn Johnson. And you got

116
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: to hope that, you know, having a former player in

117
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: there the respect factor, and I think that's the key.

118
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Nothing against David Ryan, Jerry Sullivan, but I think this

119
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: is what they wanted. A former player that can go

120
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: in there and get the attention to these guys because

121
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: it's a big year for guys like Andy Isabella and

122
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Keishawn Johnson. It's the developments. And then it's this stat

123
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: that I looked up over the weekend. Cardinals receivers averaged

124
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: ten point six yards per catch that ranked twenty fifth

125
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: in the league, tied with the Miami Dolphins. You need

126
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: more out of this passing game be trained, whether it's

127
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: the deep shots or just as we've heard, the intermediate

128
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: passing game needs to be a lot better. And that

129
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: doesn't always fall on the wide receivers. Yes, it's the

130
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: offensive line given time for the quarterback and Kyla Murray

131
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: finding the open receivers. But that number, that ten point six,

132
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: that's got to improve. Yes, he's got to improve. And

133
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: I really believe the tight end that will be the

134
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: position that will really help out these wide receivers. If

135
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: they could get Dan Arnold and allow him to be

136
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: a big factor in the middle of that of that

137
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: that field, it can open up so much on the

138
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: outside for the receivers, for DeAndre Howkins, for Christian Kirk

139
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: because now, if if you have one of those safeties

140
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: that has to account for Dan Arnold or whatever, tight

141
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: end that's in the game as a viable threat. Then

142
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: that that's that that's few guys that you have to

143
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: to lock in on your receivers and take away those

144
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: options that that obviously, uh you know, the quarterback going

145
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: to that Kyla Murray wants to go to. So I

146
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: just see it as if they can start to develop

147
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: that tight end and really make that a focal point

148
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: in a real key weapon in this offense, then I

149
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: really think you could see this this passing game reaches

150
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: full potential. M J. You brought up about the candidates

151
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: in house Sean Google are getting a promotion, Camp Turner

152
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: getting a promotion. So the message stays the same for

153
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: another season. Be trained when you're looking to develop that

154
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: culture within the locker room, not having a lot of

155
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: different voices. You want the message to be the same,

156
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: consistent throughout the offseason, training camp, regular season. What does

157
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: that mean as far as players in the locker room, Well,

158
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: it means that you don't have too many cooks in

159
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: the kitchen. And I think when you start having too

160
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: many voices, you don't know which one the following, and

161
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: then it all becomes a noise, and it all becomes

162
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: background noise. And so you start to tune it out

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: because you're you're constantly hearing different messages and each coach

164
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: is bringing his own fyles and his own way of

165
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: delivering the message, and and if it's not the same

166
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: thing that you've heard before, then there's going to be confusion.

167
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: And that will man affest himself most most importantly on

168
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: the field, and that's the last place that you want

169
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: Discord to manifest himself. So you definitely want coaches one

170
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: that have strong personalities, Guys that can command the rule,

171
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: Guys that will get the attention of the veterans. And

172
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: when the veterans buy in, then the younger guys have

173
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: no choice but to buy in. And I think again,

174
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: with a coach like coach Jefferson, a guy that has

175
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: been there and done that, he's gonna he's gonna get

176
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: that respect right off the top because players recognize other

177
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: players and the fact that he played so long that

178
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: that means that he was able to do a lot

179
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: of things the right way, and that's what guys are

180
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: looking for. So he definitely can add value to this

181
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: receiving corps and they're going to pay a lot of

182
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: attention to him. And with coach Coogler, he already has

183
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: the respect of that offensive line, and of course being

184
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: a run game coordinator, he's going to play right into

185
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: his guy's hands, because you know, the big fellers want

186
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: to go forward. They don't want to have to keep

187
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: dropping backwards trying to hold on and defend those those

188
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: those big time athletes like yours. Truly some time ago

189
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: for more on the importance of building culture. Former Cardinals

190
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: cornerback or is it say safety, Rashaan Johnson, a guest

191
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: last week on The Bigger Red Rage, asked just about that.

192
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: I think you know, culture is the team. You know

193
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: that that's what makes that team be able to ascend

194
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: to the top of the mountain. Different people have different

195
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: ways of how they run their culture. You know, as

196
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: a coach of accountability, culch will discipline a cultural team first,

197
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, and you see guys do that year in

198
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: and year out. So culture is so huge, and the

199
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: individuals you have within your culture is even bigger. You know,

200
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: you look at last year. Every year you're gonna have

201
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: some turnover, some guys get promoted. The Cardinals felt like,

202
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, they let Chris akof co He's at Syracuse

203
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: now high energy guy. But they upgraded with Brinson Buckner.

204
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Nothing against David Ryan Jerry Sullivan, but I believe they're

205
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: going to upgrade at the wide receiver position from the

206
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: coaching staff. So you're always going to have some change,

207
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: but that the fact is that you know Vans, Joseph

208
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: and his staff hopefully will stay in tech. We haven't

209
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: heard anything on that side of the ball. You know,

210
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Billy Davis was the best man in Urban Meyer's wedding

211
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh man, they're gonna call him. And

212
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: obviously you know Billy and Davis is a really good

213
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: linebackers coach here, so you're gonna have turnover. But I

214
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: definitely think they've upgraded on the D line and the

215
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: wide receiver coaching positions. Well, there's also going to be

216
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: a change on special teams. Darius Swinton, assistant special teams

217
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: coach for this past season, now the special teams coordinator

218
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: for the Chargers under new head coach Brandon Staley. We'll

219
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: see if Jeff Rogers decides to add any one as

220
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: an assistant for him in twenty twenty one. But going

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: back to Sean Kugler and I know there was a

222
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: lot of talk about offensive coordinator. Kingsbury needs some help.

223
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: He's not going to give up play calling, and Kugler

224
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: does not have offensive coordinator to his title. MJ. But

225
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: you talk about a bigger voice, what are you anticipating.

226
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: Obviously we're not gonna help for certain until we get

227
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: a chance to hear from the head coach. Well, I

228
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: just think they're gonna try to lean on running the

229
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: football and that's going to set up the play action,

230
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: and that's gonna set up you know, Murray being that

231
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: dual threat. Obviously they cut the sacks in half. Now

232
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: it's a matter of, you know, who are the starting

233
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: five guys? I think Humphries is you know, he had

234
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: coming off his best year. He's peaking. What do they

235
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: do at left guard? You know, Justin Pugh's got a

236
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: high cap number. Obviously he's a guy that's you know,

237
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: he's been healthy. The center position will see what happens

238
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: to Mason Cole. Then right guard is it going to

239
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: be you know, a guy like Justin Murray who signed

240
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: an extension last year, and then you got Marcus Gilbert

241
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: who opted out and he's under contract, and then what

242
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: do you do with Josh Jones? I mean, he's a guy.

243
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: Is he ready to play? He got his feet wet

244
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: last year, So I'm curious to see. And I always

245
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: believe that Google will play the best five guys, regardless

246
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: of where their draft and how much money they're making.

247
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: And now it's just a matter of you know, I

248
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: know what he was trying to do, because Sweezy is

249
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: a free agent, and I think that obvious. See the

250
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Cardinals want to get younger and more athletic at that position.

251
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: But I wasn't a fan of mixing and matching. But again,

252
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Sweezy was wearing down a little bit. I thought Calvin Beecham,

253
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: who's a free agent, he did a really good job.

254
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see how that line's gonna shake out.

255
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: I'll throw out another name, Max Garcia, whoever you haven't

256
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: seen a lot of, but he does have history with

257
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Sean Coogler and he also do to become an unrestricted

258
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: free agents. More on that topic coming up when we

259
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: talk about the future of one Patrick Peterson. Bert Gang

260
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: updates to the latest version of the Cardinals mobile app today.

261
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: The app features an all new redesign homescreen experience. Is

262
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: at easy Cardinals dot com. And slash app four more

263
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: more coming up here on the Arizona Cardinals radio network.

264
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: Freeman wide right did split to the left, matched up

265
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: on Pat p Allen, back to throw, looking for Dickson's

266
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: dead steps, up throws deep middle, picked off Peters and

267
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: got that one. He's at his forty yard line, rubbing

268
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: far side of the forty five and down there at

269
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: B got all in that time. I've done all I

270
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: can to present. You know that I would love to

271
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: be here, But at the end of the day, you

272
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: know it's up to them. I would just have to

273
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: wait and see what the future brings after the season.

274
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the number one question facing

275
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: the Cardinals this offseason, but it is certainly up there.

276
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Maybe one b maybe it is number one, and that

277
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: is Patrick Peterson. What do the Cardinals do because right now,

278
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: m J and you look at what this cornerback position

279
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: looks like going into twenty twenty one, Patrick Peterson, Kevin Peterson,

280
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: Drake Kirkpatrick, Jonathan Joseph all due to become unrestricted free agents.

281
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: That leaves Byron Murphy as the loan holdover from last season. Well,

282
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: the good news they don't play this Sunday, so they'll

283
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: they'll figure it out. They always bring it, you know,

284
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: cornerback in. You know, Patrick Peterson obviously a free agent.

285
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: So you know, this is what I think. And I

286
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: haven't talked to anybody. I'm just connecting the dots. I

287
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: think at this point they do have the option with

288
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: the tag, but you also have other free agents like

289
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: a Sun Reddick and you're throwing Marcus Golden and we

290
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: can go through the list. But in the perfect world,

291
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: maybe they'll let him go out and see what he's worth. Now,

292
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he's going to come back here, because

293
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: you know he's going to go into the last year

294
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: of his contract, our one year deal. But you know,

295
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: and Patrick's kind of made it clear over the last

296
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: couple of months that you know, with these teams going

297
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: three and four wide, he doesn't have the same foot

298
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: speed to go man to man and when you look

299
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: at those crossing routes and you look at those slants,

300
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: I think he's prefers to play in a zone type

301
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: defense and that would be the Steelers. Now, the Steelers

302
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: gonna win next year. I don't know about it all

303
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: that stuff, But in the perfect world, if he's willing

304
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: to give the Cardinals a chance to match, just like

305
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: you know Clais Campbell and b Train was. You know

306
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: he was. He was well aware of what was going

307
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: on there with Clais Campbell. You know, Tom Condon called

308
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: back and they said, hey, we wish him luck. So

309
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: i'll see what We'll see how it plans out worst

310
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: case scenarios. You're going to compense story pick But is

311
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: he looking for a two or three year deal or

312
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: is he looking for somewhere to kind of resurrect his

313
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: career so to speak, because he's not the same guy

314
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: when it comes to covering true but betray and you

315
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: look at what the Cardinals have. He is right now

316
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: the best at that position currently. So if you do

317
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: let Peterson walk, you better have a plan B, C, D,

318
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: E and F. And right now, I just don't know

319
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: what that plan might be. Yeah, I don't know what

320
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: the plan is either, but I know what a Patrick Peterson.

321
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: I know he gives you a chance to win. And

322
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: he's been a very good cornerback for a very long

323
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: time since he's been drafted here with herizone the Cardinals

324
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: And to think that for years we talked about who

325
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: is going to be the cornerback opposite him, And now

326
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: we're at a point where there's talk where he may

327
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: not actually be here anymore. I don't want to think

328
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,119
Speaker 1: about a season without Patrick Peterson. He's been that important

329
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: to this organization and he's been such a consummate professional.

330
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Of course, he's had his frustrations, and you have to

331
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: think about where he is in his career, and he's

332
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to ask himself some serious questions. What does

333
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: he feels like the Cardinals give him the best chance

334
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl? Because you want your legacy

335
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: to have that championship attached to it. And and he's

336
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to decide, does the Cardinals give me the

337
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: best chance to go pursue the Super Bowl going forward?

338
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: And if he feels that's the case, then I don't

339
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: think there's any question that he's gonna want to come back.

340
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: And I think under the right circumstances, I allow the

341
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: right price. I think the Cardinals would love to have

342
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson back, but it's got to make sense for

343
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: both sides. Yeah, I think you're right, and Patrick's maintained

344
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: that he would like to be here. I mean, he's

345
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: raising his family, you know, his wife's you know, a doctor,

346
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there's other places for that kind of stuff,

347
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: but he's maintained that he would like to be here. Now,

348
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: it always comes down to fit and asking price, and

349
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: it's always the latter as far as what players look at,

350
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: as far as the what's this number on that check

351
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: that you're gonna give me this sign and return if

352
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: you're Patrick Peterson for another season. Although Peterson has set

353
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: he wants to play another three, four, maybe even five seasons,

354
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: his former teammate Rashad Johnson again last week on The

355
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage asked for his opinion on the perhaps

356
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: the future of P two. It's all going to come

357
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: down to, you know, the value that they see that

358
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: that Patrick still holds within the organization as a you know,

359
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: a lockdown corner and you know the number and what

360
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: they're looking at. Patrick, you know, has has played you

361
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: know well this season. We all saw some ups and

362
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: downs through it all. I think that, you know, he's

363
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: a guy that is solid though, man. I mean he's

364
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: been solid in his career here and just building younger

365
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: guys up. Um. So I think this is gonna come

366
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: down and can we find someone that we think you

367
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: know values out better than Patrick at this time, and

368
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: can these numbers agree because I think you know they

369
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: both value each other. It only takes one team b trained.

370
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: But you're the perfect person to talk to about this.

371
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: Once upon a time you were a free agents. You

372
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: chose to come to the Arizona Cardinals. Free agency is

373
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: something a lot of players look forward to. For you,

374
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 1: what was the determining factor as far as where you

375
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: decided to call your career the next step in your career? Well,

376
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: the thing for me was I wanted to be somewhere

377
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: where I was thought of as a leader. I wanted

378
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: to have a defense kind of built around the skill

379
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: sets that I possessed, and I felt like I could

380
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: bring a lot to the table and learning a lot.

381
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: And I also give you the perspective of an aging

382
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: veteran back in two thousand and eight, where I decided

383
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: to take a pay because to stay with the arison

384
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and I felt like with the Cardinals it

385
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: was a good enough team where we can make a run,

386
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: and fortunate enough for me, things worked out and we

387
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: were able to make that run that very same year.

388
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: And so with Pat p I don't know if he's

389
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: at that stage at where he's got to take a

390
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: pay cut to stay with the Cardinals. I don't know

391
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: where his mind is as far as as where he

392
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: wants to further his career, and winning a championship overrides

393
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: the bottom line and making every single dollar. That's that's

394
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: up to the individual. And I don't think that there's

395
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: a wrong answer, But for a cornerback like Patrick where

396
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: he is in his career, I really feel like he

397
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: wants to look long term and put himself in a

398
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: position to get that ring, because really that's the only

399
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: thing that's left off of his resume. He's got a

400
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career already, and if he can add

401
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl ring to that impressive resume, then I

402
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: think that would be one of those those those those

403
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: big things that he can scratch off the list and

404
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: he can say, hey, I've achieved just about everything that

405
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: I can achieve, and and and bringing a Lombardi home

406
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: and and putting a ring on my finger that that

407
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: is the final piece in my career. Now I can

408
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: I can ride off into the sunset whenever that is,

409
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: knowing that I accomplished all of those that I set

410
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: out for myself. Now, as for Byron Murphy, I mean,

411
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: based on what he did last year comparing to the

412
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: first year, I would think that you still want him

413
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: in the slot. And again we know teams are going

414
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: three and four wide. That slot receivers very important with

415
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: the crossing routes in the slants. You know, you look

416
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: at it and you know Cardinals have the sixteenth overall

417
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. I mean, corner could be an option,

418
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: but he's going to be a rookie and it takes time.

419
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, these guys depending on what conference

420
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: you're playing in, and you know, different different talent. Obviously

421
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: the SEC you got good corners and wide receivers. So

422
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: but I do think if if Patrick Peterson's not on

423
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: the roster, a corner is gonna have to be a priority.

424
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: And if you're not, if you're gonna go into free agency,

425
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a second tier guy, and that's Drayker

426
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Patrick and that's some of the other guys they brought in,

427
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph and stuff like that. So I think corners

428
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: a viable option in the earlier rounds if they don't

429
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: retain Patrick Peterson. But again you're you're talking about a

430
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: team that wants to make the playoffs let next year,

431
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: and I would say, even if Peterson is bad, I'd

432
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: certainly make corner. I think that's where I already just

433
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: given the number. Now you're even better, though, exactly, and

434
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: then you can bring along that young guy a lot easier,

435
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: a lot slower, because you don't have to force freedom

436
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals did with Byron Murphy a year ago.

437
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: Complicating matters this offseason is because the salary cap is

438
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: going down and perhaps considerably lower than what teams usually

439
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: face on a given season. That has to play a

440
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: fact or something. Patrick Peterson, when he last addressed the media,

441
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: fully understood it's going to be a difficult offseason for

442
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: upstairs management and it's gonna be it's gonna come down

443
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: to guys making some tough decisions. So we'll have to see,

444
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, how this offseason is going to play out.

445
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: We know it's going to be different. He got a

446
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: lot of key guys that's that's going to be free agents.

447
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: But you also got teams that's not going to be

448
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: able to spend the money like they have previously. So

449
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very, very interesting and We can't wait

450
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: to see what happens. It looks like the floor could

451
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: be one seventy five, which is eleven point seven percent

452
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: down from a year ago. Now there's reports out there

453
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: it could go to one eighty. The Cardinals did carry

454
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: over five million from this year's previous year's cap, so,

455
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: but I guarantee US veterans are gonna get squeezed here

456
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: and a guy like a Son Reddick. Is somebody gonna

457
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: offer from one year eight million or do the Cardinals?

458
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: You know, technically the Cardinals could put the tag on.

459
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to trade him. Now again, I'm getting

460
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: ahead of myself. They only have five draft picks, so

461
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. But I'm I can guarantee you

462
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: some veteran guys are gonna get squeezed. And we know Beatry.

463
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: And that's the difficult part about this because the top

464
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: tier guys, they're gonna get paid, and then there's guys

465
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: that are gonna come in and take some jobs, and

466
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: how do you maintain Hey, I feel I'm worth this,

467
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: yet if I don't get this, then I might not

468
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: be playing at all in twenty twenty one. This is

469
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: the last year that the Cardinals will have the luxury

470
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: of having Colin Murray's contract what it is, because once

471
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: you get into that fourth season and he starts to

472
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: really assert himself and and be that guy where they

473
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: can offer him another deal, then he's going to command

474
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: a lot of that salary cap. And when it goes down,

475
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what happens next year, Uh, there's

476
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: going to be even more veteran squeeze. So I think

477
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: this is the year that that Steve Kim and company

478
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: are really looking to make some moves to really make

479
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: that push to get into the postseason. And if they're

480
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna do that, then they're gonna need veteran They're gonna

481
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: need as many veteran players as possible to get that done.

482
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to go into this NFC climate the

483
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: way that it is right now, with the teams as

484
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: strong as they are at the top, with rookies playing

485
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of key positions. So you want a lot

486
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: of veterans on this team. And the only way that

487
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: you can get veterans on this team is to cut

488
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: the check. You gotta be able to pay those guys,

489
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: and that there's going to be a lot of decisions

490
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: made and will will know when we come out of

491
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: free agency and the draft. Just where the Cardinals want

492
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: to be in twenty twenty one. As far as championship contention, well,

493
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: and you know, usually prioritize your free agents. I mean

494
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones going to the final years contract, you know,

495
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: close to twenty million, fifteen to base, you know, the

496
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: based on the signing bonies coming off a tricep injury

497
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: which is not an ecl you know, and again Claius

498
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: Campbell's thirty one years old. They had to make a

499
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: decision there. Obviously different players. One place was just hand

500
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: the dirt, but they both can rush the quarterback. So

501
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: curious to see what they do with Chandler Jones moving forward.

502
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: Peterson is one of twenty eight unrestricted free agents for

503
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. There are thirty two total free agents

504
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: here this upcoming offseason. Yes, it's going to be busy,

505
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: and yes there are a lot of tough decisions that

506
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: need to be made. We have had halftime here on

507
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: this Tuesday edition to the Cardinals Red Sea Report. When

508
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: we come back Championships Sunday and straight ahead here on

509
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, Radiound the Center, Spin a

510
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: second zeros on the club, the fucking a beating the Packers.

511
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has beaten Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady will

512
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: take the Fucking Ears to the super Bowl for the

513
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: first time in eighteen years. This is the tenth Super

514
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Bowl in Tom Brady's Hall of Fame career and the

515
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: final is in Fucking Ears thirty one the Packers twenty six.

516
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: That hang for just a moment, Kevin Harland on Westwood One.

517
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady Beatrain about to participates, starts his tenth Super Bowl. You, sir,

518
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: played twelve seasons in the league. That just is amazing.

519
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: Let alone for the fact that it's a brand new conference,

520
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: a brand new team facing a new offense and new teammates.

521
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: He was literally the one huge addition to that Tampa

522
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Bay team offensively and defensively. Yet some things Beatrain never changed.

523
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady playing in the final game once again, He's

524
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: the winner. He's the best ever. There is no debate.

525
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: Now you put him in the same class with Jordan

526
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: and gret Ski and Babe Rus and those type of guys.

527
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: He has ascended himself to the very very top of

528
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: the sports that shown and there is no doubt now

529
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: that he is the best quarterback. He's the best football

530
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: player in my opinion, because his resume speaks for itself.

531
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: When you have as many NFC championships as Aaron Rodgers

532
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: currently after one year being in the conference, that that

533
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: that's unheard of, and that's the posters, that's ridiculous. And

534
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: for him to have started his tenth Super Bowl now

535
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: and been in his fourth Peace Conference championship game, those

536
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: numbers are numbers that I'm not sure will ever be matched.

537
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: And and he's done it by sheer grit. He's done

538
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: it by being petty, and he's tried to prove people wrong.

539
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: He kept that chip on his shoulder from being that

540
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: six pick, sixth round pick in one hundred ninety nine

541
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: players selected in his draft class, and he has parlaid

542
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: that into a career that will be a match that

543
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: we've seen in football. And you have to give him

544
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: all the credit in the world. He went to that

545
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: team and a team that was seven to nine and

546
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: nowhere nearest Super Bowl last year and to have turned

547
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: it around that fast is nothing short of remarkable. Bratty

548
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: has played in more conference championship games than twenty six

549
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: NFL franchises. Only the forty nine Ers, Steelers, Cowboys, and

550
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Patriots have played him more. He's tied with the Packers

551
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: and Raiders. That's remarkable. Now, if you want to dig

552
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper, though, the defense won that game

553
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: for the Buccaneers. I mean, he had three interceptions and

554
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: nearly they couldn't capitalize. We can get into what happened

555
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: at the end, but give Todd Bowls and you know,

556
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: obviously you know five or and Leftwitch and that staff.

557
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: But I thought the defense carried that football team. You're

558
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: that beatrain. Uh. Yeah, it's one of those very familiar

559
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: to me. Defense wins championships. And when you got a

560
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: front four that's led by Shack Barrett and and and

561
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul. Uh, it's it's not a it's not

562
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: a not a difficult formula. It's very easy. If you

563
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: can get after the quarterback and you can stop the one,

564
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of success. And the one

565
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: thing that Todd Bowls has done, he's brought timely pressure,

566
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: but he's allowed those those those playmakers up front to

567
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: go and eat and and they ate a lot during

568
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: that game against Aaron Rodgers and tune U be least

569
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: five sacks and a ton of other knock downs and

570
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: and uh, to me, that's how you win championships. When

571
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: you can get after the other team's quarterback and you

572
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: can limit his ability to get the ball down the field,

573
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a lot more games than that. Look,

574
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: everyone is very complimentary of Tom Brady, and he is

575
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: well deserved. Yet the three interceptions I think speak to

576
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: your point, beatra MJ. That what the Packers did not

577
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: do with those three takeaways only two field goals, and

578
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: that speaks to Todd Bowles and that defense making sure

579
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: that there were not touchdowns scored against them. Yes, the

580
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: offense is going to get a lot of the attention,

581
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: but I think it was, as you said, the defense

582
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: that ultimately secured Tampa Bay spot. Well, you know, all

583
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: those three turnovers, he only scored one in the next

584
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: two turnovers. They went three and out, three and out.

585
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: They had every opportunity and then we can talk about

586
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: what happened at the end. But you know, people don't

587
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: want to mention this, and again I respect Tom Birdie.

588
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a heck of a story. He's completing

589
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of his passes in the postseason. Now,

590
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: I will give them a ton of credit. They had

591
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: to go on the road for all three games, and

592
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: that's not easy to do. I don't care about home

593
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: field advantage. They knew they were gonna have to play

594
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: the Packers at some point. They're able to take business

595
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: in their division. Against the Saints, they be to Washington

596
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: football team. But fifty five percent, that's going to have

597
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: to be a lot better. Going against Patrick Mahons, which

598
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: you'll get into next week. He had the play of

599
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: the game, I think, and that was no touchdown throw

600
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: to Scottie Miller who ran past Kevin King at the

601
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: end of the first half. But the second half be

602
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: trained three interceptions. And let's get into the fourth down

603
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: decision to kick a field goal. You're down eight, so

604
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: you need a touchdown plus the two point conversion. The

605
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 1: decision on the Packers part is to go for the

606
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: field goal. Pulled within five, you still need a touchdown.

607
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: But the thinking is is now you're driving for the

608
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: game winning scores opposed to the game tying score. But

609
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: one you're taking the ball out of Aaron Rodgers's hands

610
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: and you're putting it back in the hands of who

611
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: you called the greatest quarterback to ever play the game,

612
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, And I'm sorry, that's just not a

613
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: position that me personally I would like to be in. No,

614
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: I didn't like to call it all in, and I

615
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: thought he played scared with that call, and scared money

616
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: don't make any in championship type games. And of course

617
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has been well Docerman and after the game,

618
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: he was he was puzzled by the decision. He didn't

619
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: like it. And I don't think a lot of the

620
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: players in that locker room really liked that decision. But

621
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: that's why they paid coach Lafleur to make those plays

622
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: or make those calls. It is difficult, and I understand

623
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: what he was what he was thinking. You had four

624
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: opportunities to stop the clock, and you felt like you

625
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: could get a stop and get the ball back to

626
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: your to your MVP quarterback. But when you've got Tom

627
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: Brady on the other side, you're not getting that ball back.

628
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't care what you do. And Tom Brady's been

629
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: there too many times, like you said, fourteen Tonference championship games.

630
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: He knows exactly how to close those type of games out,

631
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: and it was just not the best decision in that situation.

632
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: But when you start thinking about Tom Brady, yeah, he

633
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: hasn't performed as great as you would have liked. But

634
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: when you think about what he could pull off this year,

635
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: in his twenty first season as a quarterback in the

636
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: NFL and his ten Super Bowl, if he's win this one,

637
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: he would have gone through Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and

638
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahone all on the way to a second Super

639
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: Bowl title. I mean, just just stop it. That that

640
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: that's just forget about it. It's over it. He's the

641
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: best ever. We don't even need to think about it anymore.

642
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: Well said. And you know, let's go back to that

643
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: played before halftime. You know there's what was it six seconds?

644
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: Then they put eight seconds on there. They added two

645
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: more seconds, two more seconds. And when I watched Scotty

646
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: Miller run, why can't they be in the isabella? I'm serious.

647
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Scotty Miller is ran four three

648
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: nine at the forty. It could have been a four

649
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: to three five whatever, um, but no risk it, no biscuit, right,

650
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: And that's and he was really playing because Antonio Brown

651
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: was out. He's a slot guy. When you know they

652
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: got weapons, but that that throw was that was on

653
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 1: a diamond, and you just wonder what kind of covers

654
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: they are playing back there. I just think at that

655
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: point that the Packers were thinking, Hey, it's a quick

656
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: throw to the sideline, get out of bounds, get closer

657
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: to the field goal is more within range. Yeah, you

658
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: go for the home run. And you're playing on the road,

659
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: and you know that's that's not a packed lambeau Field,

660
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: but there were still enough fans and attendance to where

661
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: it did feel like there were the road team, and

662
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta take risks. And as you said, no risk,

663
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: no biscuit. What did you think about that called b train?

664
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: I hated it. I hated the call from the Packers

665
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: point to be because one, yes, you gotta think who

666
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: is who is in the game? You you he hadn't

667
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: played a lot during the course of that game. You know,

668
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: he's a speecer. They're not gonna bring him on the

669
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: field to run an out route. They're gonna bring him

670
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: on the field because he runs before three and he's

671
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna try to run and sprit to the end zone.

672
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: And if you're Tom Brady and you're Bruce Arians, who

673
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: are known guys that, as we said, no risk, you know,

674
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: they're chance takers. And in that situation, you have two

675
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna take chances and you have a

676
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: speecer on the outside, what do you think they're gonna do.

677
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: They're not gonna play it safe. That's not how they've

678
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: gotten there, made their name to the NFL. So I

679
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: hated the call to to not being prevent and ultimately

680
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: cost him devin point. And ultimately that's one of the

681
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: defining plays in the game. That that that gave the

682
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers the opportunity to, oh, by the way,

683
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: be the first team in league history to host the

684
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl at their home stadium. That needed another thing

685
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: to to to to add his resume. Excuse me here,

686
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: that passion right there when he was talking about defense.

687
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: Of course, No, he's right, I mean you got to

688
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: play smarter than that. Yeah, I mean, these guys spend

689
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: eighty hours in the office every week, okay, and all

690
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden and when it gets like, you know,

691
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: gut time, it's like, did you guys forget how to

692
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: play football? Thirty one twenty six. The Buccaneers advance. They

693
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: will take on the Kansas City Chiefs and Super Bowl

694
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: fifty five coming up on February seven. When we come back,

695
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: we'll discuss the Chiefs win over the Mike Jarecki Buffalo

696
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: Bills and the Chiefs all they do, all they just

697
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: continue to win and win and win. Should be a

698
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: fun Super Bowl matchup. We'll get that matchup more next

699
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: week coming up next. How the Chiefs defeated the Bills.

700
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 1: That's coming up next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

701
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: Third Down the Homes takes an EE and that is it.

702
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are going back to the Super Bowl. The

703
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: road to repeat for Kansas City will run through Tampa.

704
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: The matchup is set for Super Bowl fifty five. It's

705
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Buccaneers. Kansas City is trying to

706
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: run it back and they get it done in the

707
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game as they knock off the Bills thirty

708
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: eight to twenty four. The voice of Iron Eagle on

709
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: Westwood won. The Chiefs now will try to do something

710
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: that no team has done since the two thousand and

711
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: three two thousand and four Hatreds led, of course by

712
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and that is when back to back Super Bowls,

713
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: the Chiefs looking every bit as the dominant force in

714
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: the AFC. Be trained, you get spotted nine points or

715
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're down at nine, and then

716
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye it's twenty one nine

717
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: in favor of Kansas City. And some questions on the

718
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: Bills side of things as far as decision making when

719
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: it comes to going for field goals as opposed to

720
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: going for touchdowns, and it's just me be trained. But

721
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: I like seven more than I like three. Yeah, I

722
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: always love seven more than I like three. And I

723
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: think for the Kansas City Chiefs, they don't play the

724
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: game the way that a lot of coaches want to

725
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: teach the game. They can turn it on and off

726
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: whenever they want to turn it on. And you think

727
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: about the fact that the Buffalo Bills were the first

728
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: nine points in the last nine points and it still

729
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: was a laugher. It still was not close. And that

730
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: just lets you know that Kansas City, whenever they want

731
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: to turn it on, and when they have patricks at

732
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, they have every chance to win that game.

733
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: And when you have some of the players that they

734
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: have at his disposal and the play calling of Andy

735
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: Reid and Eric b Enemy. It's just not fair. They're

736
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: just a faster, better team than most of the teams

737
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: that we see in the NFL currently. And I look

738
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, They're gonna have their hands

739
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: fool because the last time we saw this matchup earlier

740
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: in the season, Tyreek Hill had a career day. And

741
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you can do anything about that,

742
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: because unless those guys have taken a few tens of

743
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: a second off of their forties, they still run the

744
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: same speed that they did and at that previous matchup.

745
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: But so the Tyreek Hill and when you have Kelsey

746
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: and all those other guys, it's just really really tough

747
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: to defend all that speed all over the field. Well,

748
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: and you know, Sean McDermot addressed the media then he

749
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: talked about you know that they're at fourth and two

750
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: at the City two yard line and they end up

751
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,479
Speaker 1: kicking a field goal that was right before the half,

752
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: and then they're down there again and he kicks another

753
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: field goal, and he said, we need him moral. No,

754
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: when you play the Chiefs, you got to score touchdowns.

755
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: You can't. You know, we're gonna keep this game close.

756
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying they were doing that, but just

757
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: based on fourth and two at the Kansas cy two

758
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: and you're kicking a twenty yard field goal when you

759
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: got Josh Allen in that case, you have to know

760
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: who your opponent is, yeah, and what they're good at,

761
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: and that's marching downfield and scoring within a matter of minutes.

762
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: So you have to and that instant affect your play

763
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: call and your decision. Hey, we can't afford three here,

764
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: we need the full seven. Be trains right. They scored

765
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: nine points, the Chiefs scored twenty one points in the

766
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: second quarter. You know you're playing catch up. And that

767
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: was the first time that I thought Josh Allen felt

768
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: the pressure. You get to see in his face. And

769
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, give the Chiefs credit obviously, Mahomes and Tyree

770
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Hill and Travis Kelsey and again nobody talks about their defense,

771
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: their secondaries really making plays, and then you got that

772
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: front seven. So it's just amazing. You get to that

773
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: point in the year and you get tight and you

774
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: know you got to play to win. Mahomes three hundred

775
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: twenty five passing yards three touchdowns. Two went to Travis Kelsey,

776
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: who finished with one hundred and eighteen receiving yards Tyreek

777
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: Hill one hundred and seventy two receiving yards, but be

778
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: trained all point to this stat Josh Allen sacked four

779
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: times the Bills offense five of fourteen on third down.

780
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: It's just unfair, it really is. It's just unfair because

781
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: you can play as well as you want and it

782
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: still is not going to be enough most of the time.

783
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: And again, the Kansas City Chiefs just have more better

784
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: players than most teams. And the Buffalo Bills were riding high,

785
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: they had a lot of momentum, and Josh Allen and

786
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: Coachman Dermott had done a lot to get them to

787
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: that position, and you tip your hat to them on

788
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: a great season, but it just wasn't enough. And no

789
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: matter what you do, they're going to find those advance

790
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: they're going to find those those chinks in the armor,

791
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: and they're going to exploit them. And until you can

792
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: match up with them speed for speed, whether this first, second,

793
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: third down, it really doesn't matter, whether it's a third

794
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: and long, second and long whatever it is. They have

795
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: the personnel to overcome any situation. It's almost like the

796
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: perfect personnel for the scheme that they're trying to run.

797
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: Beat ran. When you look at the AFC and the

798
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs now and if they went back to back, I

799
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: mean you're looking at, you know, possibly a dynasty. I

800
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: know they got to do it, and it's obviously a

801
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: big game coming up, but you know, I like the

802
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks in the AFC twenty six and younger. You know,

803
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: you look at Mark Jackson and Josh Allen and maybe

804
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: they're in that equation, but do you see them running

805
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: off And I'm not saying when four Super Bowls in

806
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: a row, but what does the next ten years look

807
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: like for Patrick Mahomes in the Chiefs. Well, the thing

808
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: that's going to derail the Chiefs if there is something

809
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: they can it's going to be the contract of Patrick Mahomes.

810
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: And when you start talking about salary cap and being

811
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: able to retain those players, those guys are going to

812
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden demand more money as well. And

813
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: so the business side always catches up to the competitive

814
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: side when you start talking about dynasties and teams that

815
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: are super talented with lots of talent, and yeah, they

816
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: figured out a way to make it somewhat cat friendly

817
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: the record contract that Patrick Mahomes received. But eventually a

818
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: lot of those young players and those guys that are

819
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: are key players, they're gonna want to get compensated for

820
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: their efforts and their part in making this dynasty what

821
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: it is. And they may see greener pastories elsewhere. And

822
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: this is a business first, so you have to wonder

823
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: will guys be willing to make sacrifices for the sake

824
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: of of running it back if you will, And that's

825
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: always a very tough question, and some guys are not

826
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: willing to do it, and they feel like, hey, we've

827
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: gotten the championships, now we're gonna We're gonna keep doing

828
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: the thing. But then you also look at when you

829
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: play that many games, that many seasons, that many seasons

830
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: in a row, then you start to see help play

831
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: an issue. And I look at this game for Super

832
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: Bowl Funday, the two offensive tackles for the Kansas City

833
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs won't be on the field. So that's something to

834
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: really look at, especially with the defensive ends that Tampa

835
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: Bay the throw out there to try to get after

836
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: catching the homes. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up.

837
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: Left tackle Eric Fisher lost to a achilles injury, right

838
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: tackle Mitchell Schwartz is out with a back injury. So

839
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: I mean the book ends and jam that offensive line. Yeah,

840
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is very mobile yet to be Train's point,

841
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: the edge rushers of Tampa Bay, and you know Tyd

842
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: Bowls is going to scheme it up to take advantage

843
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 1: of to and experienced tackles. Yeah, I mean I keep hearing,

844
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: how do you how do you slow down Patrick Mahomes?

845
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: And obviously we'll get into it more next week, but

846
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, Todd's rushing four and then he's bringing pressure,

847
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: and then you know you've got to give a Devin White.

848
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean that number forty five. He's been a difference

849
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: maker and he was fifth over all in the draft,

850
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: And you know, you look at some of the different positions.

851
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: You want to get better in the trenches. But what

852
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: Bowls has and Sue Jpp and Barrett, I mean, those

853
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: guys can win one on one matchups, So you wonder

854
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: in the in the chief secondary, they're one of the

855
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: best when it comes to coverage, so maybe they're gonna

856
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: have to dink and dunk. Obviously, you know, Leonard Fournetts

857
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,479
Speaker 1: had a nice little role for the for the Buccaneers there.

858
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a great matchup looking forward to

859
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: it be the fifth time that Brady and Mahomes meets.

860
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 1: The series is all even at two two. Much more

861
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: on that matchup coming up next week. Speaking up next week,

862
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: we'll dive into not only Super Bowl fifty five, but

863

Speaker 1: also recap a virtual Pro Bowl coming up this Sunday.
