Here's Craig Griolu and three time 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: pro bowler Kyle Vandenbosch. And then there was one as 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: in one preseason game remaining before Week one, that is 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: always a good feeling and even better feeling Kyle, However, 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: will be one week from right now when there are 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: no more preseason games and we can start to really 18 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: dissect and look ahead to that Week one matchup against 19 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. By then there'll be a week 20 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: and a half left to go, but there is a 21 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: brief lights at the end of this very long tunnel. Yeah, 22 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: it's funny how it changes, like you so excited for 23 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: football again. Training camp started, You're so fired up for 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: the first preseason game, and then it's just you cannot 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: wait for it to get over. As a player, you know, 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: it was kind of the same feeling. You know, it 27 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: was obviously a grind in training camp, but I just 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: could not wait. Obviously, you hate to see players you've 29 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: played with, players you've sweated with and worked You hate 30 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: to see them walk out the door. Cut day is 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: a rough day for everybody in the organization, but you're 32 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: excited to find out the guys you're going to move 33 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: forward with, and that day is coming. It is coming soon, 34 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: and you know it's again. You know, I look forward 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: and look at the value of the way preseason has evolved. 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: There is a lot of you know, young players really 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: making a name for themselves. Some kids, some guys are 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: are stepping up giving themselves an opportunity not only to 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: make this squad, but if they don't remain on this roster, 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: hopefully they'll end up somewhere else. And this is a 41 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: very busy day for the Arizona Cardinals. You mentioned roster cuts. 42 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: The team needs to get down to eighty players by 43 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: one pm, so that is going on. Plus, the team 44 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: is heading to Nashville for one joint practice with the 45 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, which we will get into a little bit 46 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: later on here on the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented 47 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: by Sekie get your seats in a seats Plus, there 48 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: was a practice earlier on Tuesday. Very humid out there 49 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: as the team has relocated from State Farm Stadium to 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: here at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center, and 51 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: good to see a number of players back at practice. 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: Still missing quite a few, specifically along the offensive line, 53 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: and that leads us to the news of the day. 54 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: It happened on Monday, the Cardinals announced that they had 55 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: acquired offensive lineman Cody Ford, the former Buffalo Bill's second 56 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: round pick the Cardinals, giving the Bills a fifth round 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: selection in the twenty twenty three NFL Draft. And yes, 58 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: Cody Ford, the former Oklahoma Sooner. Yes, former teammates with 59 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Mark keys Brown. But we learned on Tuesday, 60 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: Kyle that not only was it a depth move, but 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: there is a number of offensive lineman banged up. Will 62 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: Hernandez dealing with an ankle, Marky's Hayes a need. It's 63 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: going to be a week or two before he returns. 64 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: According to head coach Cliff Kingsbury, Danny is Adora is 65 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: going to miss a few more weeks. Justin Pew was 66 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: not at practice on Tuesday dealing with the stinger. So 67 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here comes Cody Ford, that trade 68 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: pending a passing of the physical and all of a sudden, Yeah, 69 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: it is depth, but right now it's a need because 70 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: do you dare put them out there this Saturday for 71 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: that final preseason game because right now there's a limited 72 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: number of offensive linemen. You need at least five and 73 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 1: the team only dressed seven on Sunday against the Ravens. Yeah, 74 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: I mean you could tell in the game against the Ravens. 75 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: Um you know, they were missing guys and it was 76 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: it was rough for the five. They were moving spots 77 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: just to kind of fill roles. They just didn't have 78 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: enough bodies. You know, you can there's a lot you 79 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: can read into transactions. Sometimes you can read between the 80 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: lines and it signals something more than just a simple transaction. 81 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: You know at this point in the preseason. Uh, sometimes 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: a guy is just brought in. I hate this phrase, 83 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: but as a camp body, um, this last preseason game, 84 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: like you said, we need more offensive linemen to get 85 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: through a preseason game. However, you know this is a 86 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: former second round pick and the fact that the Cardinals 87 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: were willing to give up a fifth rounder it shows 88 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: that they see the value there. And this is also 89 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: somebody who has experienced at both guard and tackle, which 90 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: provides tremendous value to a team throughout a season, and 91 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: has twenty nine starts, so he's got a lot of 92 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: experience as well. Twenty five years old, he'll turn twenty 93 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: six in December, thirty eight games over the past three 94 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: seasons with the Buffalo Bills, it just seemed like maybe 95 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: both sides needed to go in opposite directions. And you 96 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: look at now Cody Ford as an interior alignment, specifically 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: at guard. Justin pew underground track for this season, but 98 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: a free agent at season's end. Will Hernandez a free 99 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: agent at season's end, So potentially, once again, will Hernandez 100 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: not up there in age. She believe he's twenty six 101 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: years old, so if something pans out for Will Hernandez 102 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: this season, maybe you got your solution at right guard 103 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: Cody Ford. You see what is he still has left 104 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: in the tank. Still very long, young, but potentially now 105 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: you're looking at this season and next season and years beyond, 106 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: because that's what front office have to do. It's the 107 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: now and it's also later on. Yeah, and I'm you 108 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: have to think that this is also looking back. I'm 109 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: sure the Cardinals had him high on their draft board, 110 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: somebody that they they've always kept an eye on that 111 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: if the opportunity arose to bring him in, they'd still 112 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: be interested. And he was hardly highly regarded when he 113 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: was coming out in the draft. He's known for being 114 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: a physical offensive lineman. He's a real asset in the 115 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: run game, and it's you know, that's something that the 116 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals have been continually trying to improve at as being 117 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: physical and being able to move people off the line 118 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: of scrimmage in the run game. Well, there was video 119 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: that the Arizona Cardinals social media team reposted on Monday 120 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: of that draft night in twenty nineteen. Kyle Murray the 121 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: number one overall pick, and he's making his way out 122 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: to shake the hands of Commissioner Roger Goodell. He passes 123 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown, he passes Cody Ford. Now all three are 124 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: together again with the Arizona Cardinals. Another video that resurfaced 125 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: on Monday after the trade is Kyler Murray and Couldy 126 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: Ford meeting on the field after the hail. Murray as 127 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: NFL films and inside the NFL tells us, right, I 128 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: just never felt everyone's gonna low. Was I gonna no, y'all? 129 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: We can't, y'all? Now we were not, and we were no. Bro. 130 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: We said, we checked three field goals exactly. No, no, 131 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: don't do you'll do two d y'all? Had you had accident? 132 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Who do you think she won a game? We said 133 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: the ward? Maybe, we said the Ward. Good friends now 134 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: teammates here with the Arizona Cardinals, flashing back to that 135 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: memorable game at State Farm Stadium. At that time, cudy 136 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: Ford was not playing, but Kyler Murray certainly with one 137 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: of the highlights and one of the big highlights for 138 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: him early on in his career. So when and if 139 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: we will see cudy Ford in a Cardinals uniform? Is 140 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: it this week or maybe later on in week one? 141 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: But the Cardinals do have one more preseason game. Their 142 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: most recent action on the field came Sunday Nights against 143 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens twenty four seventeen. The final got close 144 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: late in the game. Two fourth quarter touchdowns pulled the 145 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals to within one score had coached Cliff Kingsbury postcame, 146 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, we'd like to play better the turnovers anytime 147 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: you lose the turnover margin two oh not great. Too 148 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: many misstackles. But I liked how the guys played at 149 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: the end, and I found a way to come back 150 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: and keep a senate not nearly as clean as the 151 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Still five penalties, but it 152 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: just wasn't as crisp. And then something that you pointed 153 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: out on Cardinal Talk Sunday, Kyle, is this the line 154 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. The offensive line defensive line of the Cardinals 155 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: did not dictate as they had the week earlier. Yeah, 156 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: that was the big takeaway from the game. You know, 157 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: I was really impressed with how well offensive line and 158 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: defensive line played and honestly physically dominated the Cincinnati Bengals 159 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: in the preseason opener. And it was a different story, 160 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: you know, When I go back and watch, one of 161 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: the things I like to do is just kind of 162 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: zoom out and just look at the line of scrimmage, 163 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: and it was different from week one to week two. 164 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's something they're talking about. I mean, you know, 165 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: consistency in this league is one of your best assets, 166 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: and to you, you can't be a physical team one 167 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: week and then get out physical the next week. So 168 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's something they talked about in meetings and 169 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: something that they're going to address and and honestly, it's 170 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: it's you know, if there's a takeaway, it's you know, 171 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you say, well some of these guys won't be 172 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: here in a couple of weeks. It's you know, we're 173 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: going forward with different players. But it does make you 174 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: take an examination about how you're doing things, what the 175 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: approach was, like, is there anything we can adjust, because 176 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 1: it's it's in these players. They've done it. They did 177 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: it the week before. It just wasn't quite the same 178 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: in Week two, twenty four to three. At then the 179 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: third quarter, Kyler Murray took over play calling for those 180 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: final three offensive series and two of those drives ended 181 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: in touchdowns. So yeah, that's certainly got a lot of buzz, 182 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: a lot of national attention. But we've now seen Kyler 183 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: Murray put on the headset, pick up the play sheet 184 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: now twice here in the preseason. Kingsbury explains why for 185 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: him to see it from that perspective, the macro perspective, 186 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: and I understand from that view of their coverages and 187 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: the protections and where the back has to go. And 188 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: then I really like him talking to Trace and giving 189 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: them tips and then you know him and Cole talking 190 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: about plays. I mean, it's there's a leadership aspect as well, 191 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: So it was fun to watch them interacting. It's new, 192 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: it's different. That's why it's captured a lot of people's attention. 193 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: But then you think, okay, what's the benefit as you 194 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: hear the head coach explain it, and then you wonder 195 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: why other teams haven't done this with their own young 196 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: quarterbacks as far as seeing it from a different side 197 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: on the sideline and then familiarize themselves with that playsheet 198 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: to where maybe they can go out there on the 199 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: field and now if they see something, they're quicker to 200 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: make that adjustments and that check at the line of scrimmage. Yeah, 201 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: My favorite tweet that I read yesterday, the tweet of 202 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: the day was Kyle Odegard said, Kyler's casually becoming the 203 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: first player slash coach slash GM in sports history with 204 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: the teams still bringing back more of his former teammates. 205 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: But you know, this is what a franchise quarterback looks like. 206 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it is kind of astounding that this has 207 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: never been done before, because I think it makes total sense. 208 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: But once you've become that franchise quarterback, Kyler is not 209 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: a quarterback running plays that the offensive coordinator calls. He 210 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: now takes ownership. This is his offense. It is built 211 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: around him, it runs through him, and you hear coach 212 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: Kingsbury talk about over and over about this open dialogue. 213 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: He talks with Kyler about what place he likes, to 214 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: a place he doesn't like, what things he thinks will work, 215 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,359 Speaker 1: and this is just him seeing it from another perspective 216 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: and him getting a firsthand view about Okay, I called 217 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: this play in this situation, Maybe that wasn't the best idea, 218 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: or I wish I would have called this instead. So 219 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's taking complete ownership of this offense and 220 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: the joy that we see Kyler have when plays are successful, 221 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: something Kingsbury has noted. And the comparison is when you 222 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: have a young son or young daughter perform, whether it's 223 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: on the athletic field or in another aspects. My daughter 224 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: does theater and you see their perform so well, and 225 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: it makes you feel good. You get excited and happy 226 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: for their success. More so if it was you in 227 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: their position. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And another comparison is, 228 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, now I do some coaching, and not just 229 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: coaching of my own sons, but when I see a 230 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: player that I coach, I see what I'm doing getting 231 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: through to him and see him have that type of success. 232 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: It's a different sort of happiness and pride that you have. 233 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: You feel like, you know, instead of inward everything is 234 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: about me and what am I doing and how am 235 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: I contributing to this team? You take ownership in other 236 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: people's performance and their successes and you celebrate that with 237 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: them as well. Are we going to see it's this 238 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: week against the Titans. I would expect so perhaps in 239 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Now that's the only way we'll see 240 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: it is in the preseason. This is not going to 241 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: happen in the regular season. But too, you know, but 242 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: it goes back to Kyler, you know, on a drive 243 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: two minutes or whatever, gets to call in maybe see sudden, 244 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to check out of it, which a number 245 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks have done. And who's to say Kyler hasn't 246 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: already done that before in the past based off what 247 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: he sees when he breaks the huddle. Yeah, and you're right, 248 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: and not just a two minute drill. I mean you 249 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: see quarterbacks as they mature and they've been in the 250 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: system for a long time, they can almost anticipate what 251 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator is going to call. They sat in 252 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: meetings all week, they've been through this, and now that 253 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, there's such stability in this franchise between the 254 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: coaching staff and the players, especially particularly with coach Kingsbury. Kyler, 255 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: he gets a feel for how things are gonna go 256 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: and what's gonna be called, and sometimes he could probably 257 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: just call the plays on his own. Cliff did mention 258 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: earlier on Tuesday that Kyler has not said anything about 259 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: his play calling success versus the head coach's success, given 260 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: the two touchdowns there lates in Sunday's game and when 261 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: Cliff had the place sheet while there was only the 262 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: field goal scored by the Cardinals in that twenty four 263 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: seventeen loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

On the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. 270 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: Kyle Ben didn't bo yeah drop by Kyle band D 271 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: got it at Kyle, you knew it was gonna happen 272 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: at some point this week, and we might not have 273 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: heard the last Kyle Van and Bosch montage when he 274 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: was with the Tennessee Titans. Mike Keith on the Titans 275 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: Radio Network props to our producer Jim I'm a hundred. 276 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: By the way, Kyle, do you not have that montage 277 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: on your phone when people call you that you have 278 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: Mike Keith saying that, Yeah, that was actually my phone. 279 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: That's my I'm sorry to go I forgot to silence 280 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: my phone coming back from the break. That was the 281 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: emphasis on Sack. I mean, that's you gotta have that 282 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: blaring on your phone, your kids at home. You know, 283 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: I would think you'd have that played around the clock. Yeah, 284 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Between Dave Pash and Mike Keith, 285 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: they're two of the best. I mean, there's only one 286 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: Mike Keith. He's excellent. So cars again on Tuesday, as 287 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: we broadcast here the Cardinals read Sea Report presented by 288 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: Siki Your Ticket to Great Seats headed to Nashville later 289 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: on this afternoon for what was scheduled to be joint 290 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: practices on Wednesday and Thursday. And I've been very open 291 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: on all of our platforms here with the Arizona Cardinals 292 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: broadcast team and content team that I thought those were 293 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: going to be the two most important days of work 294 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals in this run up to the 295 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: regular season. I still believe that it's just not two days, 296 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: it's one day. As head coach Cliff Kingsbury announced earlier 297 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, or confirmed something that Mike Rabel had mentioned 298 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: on Monday, But it was Cliff's decision. He asked for 299 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: only one joint practice based off of availability of players, 300 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: injury concern and I'm sure maybe in the back maybe 301 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: both coaches minds college just the number of fights and 302 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: legit fights that we have seen and heard about this 303 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: entire preseason and in these joint practices across the league. Yeah, 304 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: specifically the Titans. They just went through joint practices last 305 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: week with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and there was multiple fights. 306 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: So it's not hard to imagine that if the Cardinals 307 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: were a full go against the Titans, that fights would 308 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: also occur in these practices. And I think, you know, 309 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: at this point in training camp, it's the last thing 310 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: that either one of these coaches want. And I actually 311 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: I love this. I think what shows cliss maturity and 312 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: how his approach is changing. A good coach adjust to 313 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: the situation. He's not pushing through going through the two 314 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: days as planned just because it's what they had talked about. 315 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: The team is banged up, the team is tired. They're 316 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: going to still get good work against each other, but 317 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: they've just adjusted it a little bit to protect his 318 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: players and to ensure that this team is ready for 319 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: a week. One something is better than nothing, and even 320 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: with one day, Kingsbury believes it's important for the Cardinals 321 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: and this joint practice against the Titans were banged up. Obviously, 322 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: I definitely want to see our first line of guys 323 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: go against theirs and feel that speed from another team, 324 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: and I think it'll be good work. And you hope 325 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: that this is good work, and that work is not 326 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: limited by the extracurricular stuff. As we documented on Cardinal Talk, 327 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: I want you to share here on the Cardinal's Red 328 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: Sea Report, the one and only time you did a 329 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: joint practice with the Tennessee Titans. The Rams came in 330 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: and well, things got a little out of hand. Yeah. 331 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: The night before the Rams came in, Jeff Fisher told 332 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: the team he's like, look, we gotta get some work. 333 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: We don't want any fights in practice, but take crap 334 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: from nobody. So it was kind of a wink nod, like, hey, 335 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: we better step it up and defend our turf. And 336 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: that's exactly how we took it. We talked about as players, 337 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: nobody's coming in here and out physicaling us. And so 338 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: first snap, there's a fight, they break it up. Second 339 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: play there's a fight, goes a little bit longer, involves 340 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: more people. They break it up. Third play, there's there's 341 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: a fight. Um, multiple players, So the coaches just blow 342 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: the whistle, stop practice, get everybody up. Basically just yelled 343 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: at ask for about ten minutes and said, we've got 344 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: to get some good work here. Um, let's get go 345 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: back to practice. We don't want any more fights the 346 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: next play fight. So they just stop practice and we 347 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: ended up just practicing on adjacent fields and didn't go 348 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: against each other anymore. We did manage to go through 349 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: three more practices against the Rams, and yeah, I told 350 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: you this after the game. We were terrible. We were 351 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: completely exhausted because we poured everything we had into those 352 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: joint practices. We'll see what the Cardinals decided to do. 353 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: There is good competition and no one wants to get beat, 354 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: something that Devon Kahnard mentioned on Sunday after the Cardinals 355 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: Ravens game. Don't get caught slipping, you get you know 356 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: how I say, joint practice is a different team. You 357 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: don't know how hard they're going. I'd rather be going 358 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: harder and be told to slow down than the other 359 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: way around. So that's why I'm gonna tell the rookies, 360 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: and that's how I'm approaching it. This will be a 361 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: new experience for a lot of the Cardinal players, James 362 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: Connor addressed the media on Tuesday. He's only been a 363 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: part of one other joint practice, so some familiarity of 364 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: what to expect, but again without knowing how competitive as 365 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: far as eleven on eleven, seven on seven. What I 366 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: do think is important is that one on one individual 367 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver versus cornerbacks, offensive line versus defensive line, blitz protection, 368 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: pass protection, and little things like that, because as we've 369 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: seen through four weeks at State Farm Stadium, you kind 370 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: of get you kind of get a familiarity of what 371 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: your teammate does on the other side of the line 372 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and you're getting tired of that white jersey 373 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: on defense or that red jersey on offense, and it 374 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: will be good to get a different color out there 375 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. No, you're exactly right, and you know, in 376 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: training camp you get used to so like when I 377 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: was with the Lions, I always passed rushed in one 378 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: of the ones against Jeff backus. He figured out what 379 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: I did well, I figured out what he did well. 380 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: I figured out how I could beat him. He figured 381 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: out how he could block me. And it's basically at 382 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: some point throughout the season, you're banging your head against 383 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: the wall because you're pass rushing the same guy over 384 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: and over and over. You're not developing your game, you're 385 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: not improving. And it's the same thing with wide receivers 386 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: and dbs. It's the same thing with offensive line defensive line. 387 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: You just get used to guys. You know their tendencies, 388 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: you know their strengths and weaknesses, and it's good to 389 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: go against a new face. And you know, one of 390 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: the things I like is, for the majority of last season, 391 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: this is the best team in the AFC against the 392 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: best team in the NFC, and so this is a 393 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: talented roster. You're not going to be pass rushing or 394 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: working against you know, somebody's that's not a good player. 395 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Both teams have a lot of talent up and down 396 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: their roster, and so you're able to get some good 397 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: work against some of the best. How much do you 398 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: think maybe on the Titans side, is discussing Week one 399 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, the thirty eight to thirteen beat 400 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: down the Cardinals gave the Titans, which was a surprise 401 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: to everyone to begin the regular season. Yeah, I'm sure 402 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: they're talking about it if you ask them. Other than 403 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: their playoff loss. That was probably their biggest embarrassment of 404 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: the season. Game opener at home, our season opener. I'm 405 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: sorry at home. Everybody's excited. This Tennessee Titans team had 406 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: really high expectations and they fulfilled that for the most 407 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: part for the rest of the season. But they got 408 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: embarrassed for the most part. I mean really every facet 409 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: of the game offensively, defensively, and special teams. The Cardinals 410 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: were more prepared, they were more physical, they showed more 411 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: playmaking ability. So I'm sure they haven't forgot that game. 412 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals leaving today, The game on Saturday, four o'clock twelve 413 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: thirty pm. Pregame coverage begins here on the Arizona Cardinals 414 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: Radio Network. One joint practice on Wednesday, then more of 415 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: a walk through on Thursday and Friday. Kingsbury, though, did 416 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: acknowledge that this they are treating this not so much 417 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: like a road trip, but they are going to be 418 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: some is he just called them some team events, whether 419 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: that's around town, certainly we know nash Vegas. But this 420 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: is a good way to know your teammates, get that bonding, 421 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: the camaraderie ahead of the regular season. Yeah, and that's 422 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: another thing. At this point in training camp teams, do 423 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 1: you'll hear teams going on a bowling outing or teams. 424 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: When we were in Tennessee, Coach Fisher, we were supposed 425 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: to have practice, The buses pulled up, we all got 426 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: on not knowing where we were going. We went to 427 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: some lake and everybody went fishing for the afternoon and 428 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: it was it's great. You know, everything is so dialed 429 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: in and focused and it's all football, football, football, And 430 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: at this point, you know, obviously you can practice football 431 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: all day long, every day and you can always get better, 432 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: but at this point, guys they just need a break, 433 00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, they need a little bit of relief and hope. 434 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, the guys will get there, they'll get their 435 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: good work in, but they'll spend some of those bonding 436 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 1: opportunities and get to know each other and come closer 437 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: as a team. I wonder if one of those bonding 438 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: opportunities might have to deal with Blake Shelton Quinn Stefani. 439 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: That was a question asked to the head coach earlier 440 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Does he expects Cardinal fan and Big Country 441 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: Nashville star Blake Shelton to make an appearance, either at 442 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: the game or one of these practices. It might. I 443 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: just wouldn't encourage a guy to go stay on Broadway. 444 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: There's there's plenty of places to get yourself into trouble 445 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: on Broadway. Some advice from Kyle Then and bys Year 446 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Siki Your 447 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: Ticket too great seats. We've hit halftime here on this 448 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: week's show, and we come back. We look back at 449 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: that game against the Baltimore Ravens, who stood out and 450 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: maybe what still needs to happen, Plus a number of 451 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: players banged up. So yeah, wondering who's going to be 452 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: available for this Saturday preseason finality. This is the Arizona 453 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: Cardinals Radio Network. Third and two on the twenty six 454 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: Mcsorler to throw a white open on the far side. 455 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: He's got a man. It's part of the thirtieth Ward 456 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: out of the back build of the forties. He's across 457 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: midfield and finally brought down far side at the forty 458 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: seven yard line. So that's a gain of twenty seven 459 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: yards for Jonathan Ward on third down. A great job 460 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: right there, I see j Ward. He just keeps getting 461 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: better and better. Since the moment he's stepped foot in 462 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: this locker room. I mean, he really earned his way 463 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: through special teams and then as a back, the receiving 464 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: aspect of it has really gotten gotten good him. He 465 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: can run around side receiver now and so that's that's 466 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: a credit to him in his work ethic. One of 467 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: the many players, one of the many young players on 468 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: this team that you have seen grow up right before 469 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: your eyes. As you heard head coach Cliff Kingsbury there 470 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: talk about Jonathan Ward from special teams A to now 471 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: getting more real work when the running back as far 472 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: as being able to catch the ball out of the 473 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: backfield and run between the tackles. He has certainly looked 474 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: good through the first two games of the preseason. As 475 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: we say, welcome back here on the Cardinals Red Seat 476 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: Report presented by Seek Your Ticket to Great Seats Craig 477 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: Rayel Lou and Kyle Vanibosh. One negative though, is Jonathan 478 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: Ward hurt his shoulder in that game on Sunday not 479 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: considered serious. He was not at practice at least during 480 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: the open portion. Maybe not available this week against the Titans, 481 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: but someone when we talk about the running back position, 482 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: Kyle now you've got five on the roster, you're probably 483 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: not going to keep five. Who is the odd man out? 484 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: And the more you can do, and Jonathan Ward can 485 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: certainly do a lot more. Yeah, you're right, and he's 486 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: shown it. It's not you know, based on last years, 487 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: he looks like he's even improved. He runs hard, he 488 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: catches the ball well out of the backfield, like you said, 489 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: had a big catch in the game. And you know, 490 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: he's a special team's ace, So you know, I think 491 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: he checks every box. That for a guy who might 492 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: be a little bit further down the depth chart, but 493 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: a guy that you can count on, and a guy 494 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: that's versus Hyland, a guy that adds value not just 495 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 1: on the offense but also on special teams. Another player 496 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: who certainly has done more than just flash on offense. 497 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: Andy Isabella nine catches through two games. He leads the 498 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: team in receptions and receiving yards, and you just wonder 499 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: about his position on this team as far as where 500 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: he stands in that wide receiver room. Before we discuss that, 501 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: how about we hear from the head coach on Andy Isabella. 502 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: I couldn't be more impressed with the way he's attacked 503 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: this camp. I mean, he's practiced every single day, doesn't 504 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: missary rep. You know, can play inside outside, and he 505 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: continues to run by people out here in these preseason 506 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: games and has had some huge fast in afference calls 507 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: and made some big catches on third down. So I 508 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: gotta give him a ton of credit for how he's 509 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: worked and we'll see how it all shakes out. One 510 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: his his health, he's available. He was not always available 511 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: last preseason. He missed some time with either injury or COVID, 512 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden he is making plays. 513 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: The question is with Isabella has always been can you 514 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: make those plays in a game? Well, the pushback would 515 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 1: be all right, Well, give him the opportunity. And you 516 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: just wonder about the opportunity here with the Cardinals giving 517 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: the number of wide receivers ahead of him on the 518 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: depth chart. Yeah, and it's so good to see and 519 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: to listen to his perspective. You know, he talks about 520 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: how much he's grown, how hard he's worked. He took 521 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: a good hard look at himself and the things that 522 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: he could improve on this offseason. Look, you know, speaking 523 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: personally and from experience, everybody's got a different learning curve. 524 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: You know, just because you can run fast or or 525 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: you have all of these, you know, measurables does not 526 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: necessarily translate to the football field always, and it takes time. 527 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't even a good player in this league. 528 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: It wasn't a consistent star until year five. And he 529 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: looks like he's turning that corner. And it's been a slow, 530 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: gradual process. But I mean, just visually, you can see 531 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: he looks different. He's he's playing the game with confidence. 532 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: He feels good about himself, and honestly, I'm impressed with 533 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: his attitude and his mental approach to the game. He said, 534 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna be on a team. It might 535 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: not be here, it might be too late here, but 536 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: he knows that he's working for an opportunity to get 537 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: a chance somewhere. Because you know, it's unfortunate that his 538 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: learning curve was you know, gradual for him, because his opportunity, 539 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: like you said, might not be here. And that's not 540 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: a reflection of him, it's a reflection of the depth 541 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: and the talent at the wide receiver position on this roster. 542 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: The one thing Isabella has that you cannot teach, it 543 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: said a lot. He has the speed and how many 544 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: times now believe it's twice we have seen him draw 545 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: that penalty on a dB whether the ball is underthrown 546 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: or it's going to be a big play and the 547 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: DB's like and we just can't have him catch the football. 548 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,239 Speaker 1: He has that speed, that breakaway speed that not a 549 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: lot of wide receivers have. Now you have to be 550 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: able to catch the ball as well. It's not just 551 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: about how fast you are. But to your point, he 552 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: is going to be on a roster in my opinion, 553 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: is Kyle, He is going to be on that fifty 554 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: three man roster for the Arizona Cardinals because you do 555 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: not have DeAndre Hopkins for those first six games, and 556 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: if you keep six wide receivers, Isabella becomes that fifth 557 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: or six receiver. Yeah, you can never have too many 558 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: fast guys on the football field. And again he has 559 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: shown his value. You know, this is what preseason is 560 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: for in twenty twenty two. It's four guys like Andy 561 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: Isabella to show their skills, to show their growth, to 562 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: show their value to an offense. And you know, I understand. 563 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: You know, Greg Dortche has played well, Victor Bolden Jr. 564 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: Has played well. John Tay Kirkland had a great catch 565 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: in the game. So there's talent all over this roster. 566 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: But it would be hard to think that you couldn't 567 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: find a role for Andy Isabelle in any offense. And 568 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: because he's a former second round draft pick, that's why 569 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: there's this larger spotlight, much brighter spotlight on him. Where 570 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: you are drafted, much the same with Zaven Collins. You're 571 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: a first round draft pick. There is an expectation and 572 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: he did not meet those expectations in year one. We 573 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: hope to see it here in year two. He had 574 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: one tackle, one tackle for loss over sixteen snaps on 575 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. How did he look? Here's 576 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. He continues to improve. The game's definitely slow 577 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: down for him from last year. And when he fires 578 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: and he's not thinking, you can see that, you know, 579 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: athletic ability in that size really on display. And then 580 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: he just has to keep doing that. We watch him 581 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: against the Bengals, we watched him against the Ravens, and 582 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: what continued to stand out Kyle is the inability or 583 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: the struggle to get off blocks. He'll engage and then 584 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: be able to separate. You have to be able to 585 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: do that, and too many times he's not been able 586 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: to separate himself from that offensive lineman or if it's 587 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: a running back to get the ball carrier. Yeah, I 588 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: think so. There's two things that I think he needs 589 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: to continue to improve on, and that's one of them. Yeah, 590 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,239 Speaker 1: taking on engaging blockers and getting off of blockers. Just 591 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: because you're in your gap and you're playing the block, 592 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily doing your job. You know, good linebackers, 593 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: you know they get blocked, but they don't stay blocked, 594 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: and at times he has a hard time separating from blockers. 595 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: The second thing is just and you know, if you 596 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: read between the lines of what coach Kingsbury was saying, 597 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: he said, when he fires and he's not thinking, he's 598 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: able to show his ability. At times, it looks like 599 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: he's looking at too much. You know, you got to 600 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: make the main thing the main thing. But then when 601 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: the ball declares and you recognize what's happening, he's just 602 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: got to be able to react and shoot his gun. 603 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: And that only comes from experience. No matter how much 604 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: tape you watch, no matter how many reps you get 605 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: in practice. No matter how many walkthroughs you do, those 606 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: things don't improve until you see it live and you're 607 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: able to react so much quicker because the NFL game, 608 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, it is so fast, but game day speed 609 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: is different than any other speed you ever see. And 610 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: he needs to continue to get those reps. Now, I 611 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: realize again, because of his draft position and his value 612 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: in the hopes and the expectations of his ascent this year, 613 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: you know you might not want to play him in 614 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: this third preseason game, but he does need to continue 615 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: to get live reps so that he can react much quicker. 616 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: For me, where I've seen the biggest improvement and Zavin 617 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: is his ability to cover whether it's the running back 618 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: or the tight end and space. And we know he's 619 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: got the athletics, him, the size and speed to do that. 620 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: It just seems when things are closer to the line 621 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, when there's more bodies around him, that's when 622 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 1: his struggles. And you go back to the quote unquote 623 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: bad habits, if you will, and getting lost in the 624 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: shuffle and he gets locked up with the player and 625 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 1: then cannot disengage and get to the play. And that's 626 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: just to your point more reps, more game experience. Yet 627 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: it's difficult because you're a first round draft pick and 628 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: people expect that yesterday, not in the future. Yeah, and 629 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's dependent on role. So like Isaiah 630 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: Simmons now has been moved into a position where they 631 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: want him in space, they want him out there, and 632 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: like you said, Zavian Collins looks like he does well 633 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: in space, covering backs out of the backfield, covering a 634 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 1: tight end that's trying to leak out into the flat 635 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: because of his athleticism, but he needs to, you know, 636 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: get better at playing in the phone booth because if 637 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: this defense, and we saw this and over and over 638 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: and over last year, if this defense cannot stop the 639 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: run in between the tackles, that is a huge liability 640 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: and it will cost this team games. And it reared 641 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 1: its ugly. Had many times last offseason where or last season, 642 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: where we'd be talking about a game, we'd say, yeah, 643 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: the defense played really well except their run defense, and 644 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: a big part of that falls on the interior defensive line. 645 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: But you know that's also on his shoulders. I think 646 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: more people would have hoped to have had the stat 647 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: line or zaven Collins that Chandler Wooten had six tackles, 648 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: two tackles for loss and interception past defense. Now, Wooten's 649 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: going against third string, but a former first round draft 650 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: pick going up against backups, you'd expect more of an impact. 651 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 1: And I don't think we've seen enough of an impact 652 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: out of Zaven Collins in these two preseason games. Yeah, 653 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 1: you don't see the flash play, but you're not also 654 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: not seeing the common play, like oh man, he's stuffed 655 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: that fullback in the A gap and was able to 656 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: bottle every thing up. You know, you're not really either 657 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: seeing consistency on either of those.

You know, the people at 664 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 1: jack We're worried to see if Wilfley was coming back today, 665 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: to see if he was gonna eat him out of the 666 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: the house at home. That Adrian, that was just agregious 667 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: of gratuitous. Wilfley is really taken advantage of this whole 668 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: thing rome. You know, you act like a Roman when 669 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: in Nashville, go on down and get you some marbecue. 670 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: Not only did he order the combo plate, which might 671 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: as well have been the family platter, he then got 672 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 1: a side of the pulled pork. I mean, this guy 673 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: is a definition of a car versus disposal. I mean 674 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: he's ever doing inside. So Ron Wolfley is spending four 675 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: nights in Nashville, Kyle again, the team leaves Tuesday. The 676 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: game is on Saturday. So you got Dave passed, Ron Wolfley, 677 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: Paul Calvci, the entire crew. But Ron will Flee specifically 678 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: is that was a flashback to the Big Red Rage 679 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 1: with Adrian Wilson. This is, by the way, the second 680 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: time the Cardinals and Titans have held a joint preseason practice. 681 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: Last time was in twenty ten. So Ron Wilflee advice. 682 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: Do you need to make a phone call or call 683 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 1: people to warn them that wolf is on his way 684 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: to Nashville. Well, there's at least fifty different barbecue joints. 685 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: He'll probably only be able to hit half that twenty 686 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: five ish, But I'm told wolf Lee's prepared. He packed 687 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: a suitcase of just wet naps for all the barbecue 688 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna eat. I wonder if any of the dry ice, 689 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 1: if he brought any of that, so you can bring 690 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 1: leftovers back for the rest of us. Now, I don't 691 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: think he likes to share, that is true, but there 692 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: is work to be done. Ron will flee. In fact, 693 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: he will be on the television broadcast on Saturday. He 694 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,280 Speaker 1: and Dave Pass with Danny Serek on the sideline CALVC. 695 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Stanton will have the radio call again. Four o'clock 696 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: is the kickoff on Saturday twelve thirty. Pregame coverage begins 697 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network before we get 698 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: our thoughts, but we get the thoughts of the head coach, 699 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, when asked how many roster spots are still 700 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: up for grabs. There's quite a few. There's some good 701 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: position battles and I know corner, like we've talked about 702 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: all the long, We're going to see how that shakes out. 703 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: And you know, running back, it's the deep ram you 704 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: can see although he has are making plays, so's there's 705 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: some good battles going on. We will not see Kyler 706 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: Murray or Colt McCoy. In fact, this preseason game is 707 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: going to be treated like the first two preseason games. 708 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: Your starters, your regulars aren't going to see anytime outside 709 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: of maybe a handful and if they are on the field, 710 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: it is only for maybe a drive or two. So 711 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: another opportunity for those young players. And you hear the 712 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: head coach bring up the running back room cornerback. How 713 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: many edge rushers does this team keep? Right now? You've 714 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: got seven on the roster, including your three draft picks. 715 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: Can you keep all seven? Is there a surprise release? 716 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: Is there a veteran? Seems like there's always a veteran 717 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: in the National Football League that is a surprise to somebody. 718 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: But it's because you found someone that is either a 719 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: better or b is just as good but cheaper. And 720 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: that's all something that you bring in the coaching staff 721 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: and the front office to try to figure out, all right, 722 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: how do we get these fifty three players? And if 723 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: there's someone you like, can you keep your fingers crossed 724 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 1: and get them back on the practice squad. Yeah, I'd 725 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: hate to be in Steve Kim's shoes right now. You know, 726 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 1: there's typically two situations going into your last preseason game. One, 727 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: you're looking at other people's rosters to see how you 728 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 1: can upgrade the bottom of your roster. I see the 729 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals in a different situation. I think that Steve Kim 730 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: has done a good job of bringing in talent. I 731 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: think that the coaches have done a good job of 732 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: developing talent. So I think the more difficult problem for 733 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals will be they're going to be releasing some 734 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: good players from this football team. There is you know, 735 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: he talked about the position battles, like in the running 736 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: back room, at the back end of the receiver room, 737 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: there's going to be There's a lot of talent in 738 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: the tight ends room. There's talented outside linebacker, young talented 739 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: outside linebacker. There's some defensive tackles that we don't talk 740 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: a lot about. Our inside defensive lineman that played really 741 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: well against Cincinnati, that showed explosion, showed power, showed effort 742 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: down the field. So there will be some you know, 743 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: it is frustrating, it's not frustrating. It's surprising. Some teams 744 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: will make cuts and not a single player will get 745 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,399 Speaker 1: picked up by another team. I think several players from 746 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are going to after those cuts, are going 747 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: to be getting some phone calls very quickly and have 748 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: opportunities at other places. There was a reason why at 749 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: one point these ninety players were brought in to be 750 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals players. You liked one thing or another, or 751 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 1: maybe several things, and you always look for those young 752 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: players to develop. Yet at the same time, you have 753 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: to win games on Sunday, and maybe it's a young 754 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: player that you really like you don't want to lose. 755 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: But at the same time, maybe they're not quite ready 756 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,760 Speaker 1: for Week one. And you look at some of those 757 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: draft picks, and I do think that the majority of 758 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: those draft picks won't make the team. But have we 759 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: seen over the course of training camp and a couple 760 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: of preseason games. Are they ready to make an impact 761 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: week one or is it more like week eight, week nine, 762 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: till you say, all right, maybe a Christian Matthew who 763 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: you really like, but could be someone that needs a 764 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: little bit more development, Lucida Smith. As far as your 765 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: backup or your third string center, you really like them, 766 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: But is there a spot on the fifty three for 767 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,439 Speaker 1: someone that you still think needs some more development. I mean, 768 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: it's tough. Fifty three is not a big number. It's 769 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,839 Speaker 1: it's really hard for teams to justify stashing talents on 770 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,800 Speaker 1: the active roster. And so you know, there's the Cardinals 771 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: will do it. Every team across the league are going 772 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: to cut a couple of players and cross their fingers 773 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: that they're going to clear waivers and they're able to 774 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: bring them back to the practice squad. And you know, 775 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: and I could think again, with the talent at on 776 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,879 Speaker 1: this roster all the way through, you know, I think 777 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: that there's probably several players that the Cardinals don't want 778 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: to cut. They're going to be forced to release them, 779 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: but they are going to hope that they do clear 780 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: waivers and that they will remain Cardinals. And remember, it's 781 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: really we talk about fifty three, but it's more fifty 782 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: because you count your kicker, your punter, you're long snapper. 783 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 1: That gets you to fifty three. So if you've got 784 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: fifty and typically teams like twenty five on offense, twenty 785 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: five on defense, this coaching staff, the head coach predominantly 786 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: offensive minded. Do you go more offensive players, an extra 787 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: wide receiver, an extra offensive lineman, right, Now I could 788 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: see four tight ends on this roster, but Cliff typically 789 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 1: doesn't utilize the tight end that much. But you like 790 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,320 Speaker 1: which you've got in zach Ertz. You brought in Steven Anderson, 791 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: Max Williams, is he healthy? You drafted Trey McBride. Four 792 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: tight ends sounds like a lot, But there's a reason 793 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 1: why you like all of those four. Yeah, these are 794 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 1: these are tough decisions, and you talk about young players 795 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: that are talented that need time to develop. You know, 796 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: I'm looking at that outside linebacker position and I've been 797 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: watching it pretty intently throughout the preseason, and you know, 798 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: you can see talents and you could see ability in 799 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,839 Speaker 1: all three of the players that were drafted, but it 800 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: doesn't look like any of them are quite ready to 801 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,240 Speaker 1: be that guy. I mean, they can contribute in spots, 802 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: but you know, I think we all anticipated it was 803 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 1: an open competition with the rookies for the outside linebacker 804 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: spot outside opposite of Marcus Golden. But Devon Kannard looked 805 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: fantastic in the game this week. His production and his 806 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: limited reps is great, and Dennis Gardeck looks like he's 807 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 1: going to be really good this year. So we may 808 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: have time to let them sit and develop, but they're 809 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to find a role in special teams. And 810 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: I'll add Victor D. McCage as well, who's kind of 811 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 1: surprised people and come out the forgotten outside linebacker, but 812 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: he's maybe been the one that's flashed the most yea 813 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 1: through these two preseason games. Kenny do it for a 814 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: third preseason game again, kickoff Cardinals at the Titans, four 815 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: o'clock on Saturday.
