Kingsberry said as head coach of the 14 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals that he told the team, and I loosely quote, 15 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: our best football men is still ahead of us.

Cranberry sauce. Okay, the Cards went into the 20 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: bye as a refresher. Oh, I don't know, with the 21 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: best record in the NFL at nine and two, six 22 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: and Ozo on the road four and oh in the 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: division number one in all the power Poles, although those 24 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: pesky Green Bay Packers are getting a few votes right now. 25 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: Last we saw the Cardinals, the first place Cardinals had 26 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: just left the Seahawks in last place. And I gotta 27 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: be honest with you, Wolf, I had a full blown 28 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: acute case of the bye week blots earlier this week. 29 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: But then I remembered that the Seahawks in last place, 30 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: and that's that really just puts some wind in my sales. 31 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: And I'm ready to finish this week strong. On the 32 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: Big Red Rage Night featuring d Lineman Extraordinary Corey Peters 33 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: presented by Santanfordy. Yeah, cannot wait to talk to Corey Peters, Polly, 34 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: no doubt about that. So you've got Pete Carroll images 35 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: of Pete Carroll dancing through your head. You know what 36 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: you're saying. calBC Consulting does have one bit of free 37 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: advice for twelve million dollar year, Pete Carroll, You're ready, yes, 38 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: Instead of spending about twenty five to thirty minutes before 39 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: every game warming up your arm. You might want to 40 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: go hit some more game film. You might want to 41 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: look at the laminated playsheet one last time. You might 42 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: want to think about a few audibles and adjustments instead 43 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: of warming up your arm before every game. That's just me. 44 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: You know what Polly at us like. Come on, you're 45 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: you're embellishing. Of course you're firing for effect on Pete Carroll. 46 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: Right now, we all know what a great coach Pete 47 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: Carroll has been. There's no doubt about about Polly. I 48 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: gotta tell you. Watching the Arizona Cardinals dismantle the Seattle 49 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks in front of the Twelves, where we heard booze PAUI, 50 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: where we heard booze all I could think of two things. Man, 51 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: this might be it for Russell and it might be 52 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: it for Peak. Yeah. I think your operative words are 53 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: wolf or has been has been. That's what a lot 54 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: of the twelves we're thinking. As the Cardinals left that 55 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: building and left them in last place once again. And 56 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: by the way, I failed to site that. In addition 57 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: to the nine and two record six and on the 58 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: road four and o in the Division. They won two 59 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: of those games without their starting quarterback on the road 60 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: in the division, and now they're tracking to get Kyler 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: Murray and DeAndre Opkins back. In fact, Cliff Kingsbury was 62 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: asked about that this week. That should help to the 63 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: best players in the league. So hopefully they can pick 64 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: right up where they left off, but that's always a 65 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: concern getting adjusted to the speed of the game. Will 66 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: once again have quite a few good on good reps 67 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: this week, so they can feel that speed and hopefully 68 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: and come out and play at a high level. But 69 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: it'll be an adjustment period for them, all right. So 70 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: two teams, Wolf just put the no into November. The 71 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: Suns no losses in November, correct, that's right, And the 72 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals no dhop, no Kyler Murray in November. So when 73 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: the head coach says they hope they can just come 74 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: right back in and pick up where they're left off, 75 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: is that realistic in your estimation? Yeah, that is the 76 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: question right there, Polly. It is a tough one to 77 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: answer as well. It's interesting because Aaron Rodgers he missed 78 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: some time. He came back, he struggled in his first 79 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: game back. Polly and then Russell Wilson did exactly the 80 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: same thing. After missing weeks, he came back and he 81 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: struggled in his first game. And then Dak Prescott as well, 82 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: he went through the same thing. So, you know what, 83 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say about it. Do I 84 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: expect Kyler Murray, if in fact he does play, to 85 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: be a little rusty. Yeah, I think he's probably gonna 86 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: have to knock a little rust off, maybe in that 87 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: first quarter. But you know what, I'm not going to 88 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: put anything past the mighty Kyler Murray. Who knows what 89 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: he might do. He might come back and throw for 90 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: four hundred plus. Yeah. He met the media yesterday and 91 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: towards the end I had a chance to ask him. 92 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: I said, look, Jalen Thompson just told us that he 93 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: got better when he was injured a year ago because 94 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: he learned a lot watching from the sideline. And so 95 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: my question to Kyler was basically the same, Have you 96 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: learned anything missing these three games and watching from the 97 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: front row on the white stripe of the sideline. I 98 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: think you can definitely helpe, you know, watching from the 99 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: sideline kind of kind of relaxing, you know, getting a 100 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: different perspective of the game. You know, I think when 101 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: you're back there playing quarterback, a lot of things, there's 102 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts. You know, things are moving 103 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: faster than you know they may seem. And then you know, 104 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: watching from the sideline, it's just like it's kind of 105 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: everything slowed down and you see it as for what 106 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, I definitely think I got you know, 107 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: I took some away from it, for sure. So there 108 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: was good question, Paul. That was your question. And uh, 109 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: there's disbelief there. You're not you're not believing what I 110 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: just said. That was a good question right there, Paul, 111 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: Well played by you. You know what's amazing about that too, 112 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: the speed of this game, and in particular the speed 113 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: of the Chicago Bears and their pass rush. Now, listen, 114 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: I understand there's no Khalil Mack, but they still have 115 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: good pass rush personnel, Polly, and they still have very 116 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: very good schemes as well. The number one team in 117 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 1: the National Football League in sacks per attempt getting after 118 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback right there. But you know what, they've had 119 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: a hard time covering Paul for the most part. And 120 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: that's where I think the Arizona Cardinos could exploit the 121 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears defense a little bit, but who knows, Polly, 122 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: who knows what kind of day that's gonna be. You know, 123 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn, remember our old pal from the Rams in 124 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: the division. Man, he's had a he has had a 125 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: big time year again, eleven sacks on the year. He 126 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: is tracking for another Pro Bowl. He's already a two 127 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: time Pro Bowler. So yeah, he's the big guy off 128 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: the edge you gotta worry about. You heard. Cliff Kingsbury 129 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: also tell the media this week that they're going to 130 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: do a lot more good on good in his estimation, 131 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: to try and get de Hoop and Kyler Murray as 132 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: close to game speed and game ready as possible, because 133 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: come on, you know, just to come from watching to 134 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden playing, I don't care how accomplished 135 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: you are, and we're talking about two of the best 136 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: players in the league. You're right, Wolf, I would fully expect, 137 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: especially in that weather, and to get rolling there. You know, 138 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: the whole rust versus rest thing. Half most of the 139 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: team's coming off the rest, and then a couple of 140 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: other guys are dealing with Russ. Well, listen to day. 141 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be a tough, tough thing, a 142 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: tough proposition for Kyler Murray to sit there and throw 143 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: the ball. I think the Arizona Cardinals are gonna have 144 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: to run it if, in fact, the weather reports, if 145 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: they remain true. Polly, you know this better than anybody 146 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: anybody else. I'm sure you've been checking the weather reports. 147 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: But here talking about a forty five degree day in Chicago, 148 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: sixteen mile prour wind and a seventy five percent chance 149 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: of rain. How's that feels so, Polly, They're gonna have 150 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: to run the ball. But I wouldn't put anything passed 151 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and d hop coming back. And by the way, 152 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: I would not underestimate Kyler's ability to throw in the win. 153 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: What people people don't realize in Cleveland, Man, that was 154 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: a fierce wind, especially that one end of the stadium. 155 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: He did a ridiculous job of being efficient and accurate 156 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: with that ball through the win in Cleveland. So I mean, 157 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: if you get away with a sixteen mile par win 158 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: in Chicago, I think you'll be lucky based on what 159 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: we're seeing. A no, well, if I haven't been checking 160 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: the weather forecast of all, because they just updated it 161 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: to an eighty percent chance of rain, So I haven't 162 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: been checking that at all as the side anyway. Here, 163 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: how about Colt McCoy on the Dave Pash Podcast speaking 164 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray. And we know what Colt did. He 165 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: came in and had two fantastic games. One of the 166 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: Niners got to win, the other the Seahawks got the 167 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: win Vance Joseph. He told the media man. In that situation, 168 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: road Division games with a backup quarterback, there are many 169 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: teams that win those games in that situation. Cole McCoy 170 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: did it, but he knows his role and that's mentoring 171 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Yeah, we are in two totally different places, 172 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: but it's very healthy. Funny conversations go on. And he 173 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: never changed the diaper in his life. He doesn't know 174 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. You know. He still goes home 175 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: and plays video games and is still young, right, but 176 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: his maturity and his wisdom in the game is very high. 177 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: And we have lots of great conversations. We've been able 178 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: to talk through things. How do you see this? What 179 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: do you think I should do here? How should I 180 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: handle this? All those things that Again, I just think 181 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: it's been very healthy and productive, and I'll tell you 182 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: see it on the sideline, well if you see it. 183 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes the first guy that Kyler consults with is Cole McCoy, 184 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: other times as Cam Turner. Sometimes it's the head coach, 185 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. But I mean, you tell me, when you 186 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: have a guy your peer, someone you look up to, 187 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: that you were in high school and you watched him 188 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: star four years at Texas, right, You've respected his game 189 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: for about a decade, and now he's your teammate, it's 190 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: just a little different coming from that guy versus maybe 191 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: an assistant coach, no doubt, a bottom bully. And again 192 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: you can see the impact act off Colt McCoy on 193 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray right now. But going back to the changing 194 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: from the diaper thing, let me just say this, it's 195 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: great because we all know that you've got to go 196 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: in hard when you change that diaper. You better go 197 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: in hard or you're gonna be doomed, you know what. Yet, 198 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: that kind of advice, which is so tangible, also applies 199 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: to playing quarterback in the National Football League. You have 200 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: to go hard all the time on and off the field. 201 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: And Colt McCoy is doing a great job teaching Kyler 202 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: Murray that so Ron Wolfley treats BabyCare like he did 203 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: covering a kickoff, So same mentality. Apparently it's true. We'll 204 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: come back with Corey Peters, the Cardinals veteran defensive lineman, 205 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: and we'll get into the thick of this is Simon 206 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: in Chicago. Next on the Big Red Rage presented by 207 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: santan Ford and Gilbert. First down on the thirty two 208 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: of Tennessee. They run Henry off the left side and 209 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: he has swallowed up in the backfield at the thirty 210 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: yard line by Corey Peters. Another negative play, a loss 211 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: of two and man. The Cardinals defensive linemen are whipping 212 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: the Titans offensive. Laurens Cousins under center, takes gives the 213 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: cook up them. It all planted. Cory Peters got off 214 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: the block and stuffed it, and Corey just engulfed Tlvin Cook. 215 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: That was a big third down stop in Week two, 216 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: forcing a Vikings punt led to a Cardinals touchdown on 217 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: the ensuing drive. We, of course, Ron wolf Ley, are 218 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: talking about a guy in its twelfth season. We're talking 219 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: the point zero one percent of all football players in 220 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: the land. Right one of our favorites PAULI indeed, although 221 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: regrettably for him. The last time we saw Corey Peters 222 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: Wolf let me remind you, and Corey himself he joins 223 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: us here in the Big Red Rage presented by santan 224 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: Ford and Gilbert. He was talking himself some serious trash 225 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: in the meal room in La I believe it is. 226 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: Kentucky Wildcats were ranked highly and they had just beatn 227 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: LSU to improve to six at all, and I think 228 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: that was the last win they saw for a month, Corey. 229 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if that was karma you tell us, 230 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: but that was sort of the pinnacle of your Kentucky season, 231 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: was it not? Man? You know, we had a tough 232 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: few games, but you know we all right. We're back 233 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: in the top twenty five last I saw, you know, 234 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: so hopefully we'll get a good Bowl game. Corey, Man, 235 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. Really do appreciate it. Here, Um, 236 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: congratulations on playing another year in the National Football League. 237 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: They just continue to pile up for you. Talk a 238 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: little bit about your year this year. Has it been frustrating? 239 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: Where are you encouraged? Talk about this year in general? Yeah, 240 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: it's been It's been quite an interesting year for me, 241 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: just getting back on the team in training camp and 242 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: just being excited about that. And I think the season's 243 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: going really well up until this point. I'm really excited 244 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: about the potential for this team. I think everybody has 245 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: the right mindset and still is working very are week 246 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: to week, just locking in on the task at hand, 247 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's it's been good for us. 248 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: So I'm really excited about the potential opportunity that we 249 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: have in front of us, and you know, hopefully, you know, 250 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: we can keep it going. Look, you're a three time 251 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: team captain with the Cardinals, and from the outset of 252 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: the off season, Steve Kime and Cliff Kingsburg were hell 253 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: being on getting more guys like you more leadership. How 254 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: different is the chemistry in that locker room? Because we 255 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: hear guys talk about how much time they're spending together, 256 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: right that three letter F word fun. Guys are enjoying 257 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: the game and spending time on their own with each other. 258 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: How big a deal is that in this nine and 259 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: two season. Um, I think it's a huge deal. Um. 260 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: You know, I think it's always better when guys you know, 261 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: like each other and you know, I think you can 262 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: really see that with this team, and not just within 263 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: position groups, but you know, there's a lot of guys 264 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: that carry over, a lot of guys that are close 265 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: to each other on offense and defense, and UM, so 266 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: I think when you see that, um, you know, I 267 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: always see de hop overcoming over talking to the defense, 268 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, giving advice and pointers and telling what he sees, 269 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: and then I see guys on defense challenging them the 270 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: same way. So, UM, I think it's been really good. Um. 271 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: And you know, we have a lot of good events 272 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: all across the team, and that that's great because the 273 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: mindset always stays where it needs to be and when 274 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: we you know, when it gets away from that, you know, 275 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: there's different voices always there to kind of get everybody 276 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: back on track. You know, Corey, when I listen to 277 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: you say that about de Hop, um, that is truly 278 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: amazing to me. The accountability that is going on inside 279 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: of that locker room. It seems like every player in 280 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: that locker room has a peer at least one, if 281 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: not multiple beers. Every player inside that locker room has 282 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: got to be accountable to his teammate. I don't if 283 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: I've ever seen anything like that. I know, I certainly 284 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: didn't play on a team in the ten years in 285 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: my National Football League experience that had that kind of accountability. 286 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: How rare is that? Um? I think it is, you know, 287 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: somewhat rare. And I think it starts with just new 288 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: to a respect and guys really knowing that you know, 289 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: if anybody is critiquing you or accounting you, you know 290 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: it's coming from a good place and you know, one 291 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: that wanted team to be better. And so I think 292 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: guys take it with that in mind and really flourish 293 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: with it. And you know what, Wolf to your point, 294 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: we heard it after Week one. We heard that highlight 295 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: Corey against Tennessee. Well after that game, remember Christian Kirk 296 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: was our postgame radio guest, and he said on air, 297 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: We're not letting stuff slide this year. I mean that 298 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: is that a big palpable difference from a year ago? Corey? 299 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: I mean, have you seen multiple examples of that? Because 300 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I do. See it on the 301 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: sideline player to player. It's almost it's like the player 302 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: is the bad cop, and then the assistant coach comes 303 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: in sometimes is the good cop. Yeah, I mean, I 304 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: definitely can see that, you know, the increased I guess 305 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: this year and obviously where we are in the season 306 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: and how good of a year we're having. And I 307 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: think that only continues to increase because you know, everybody 308 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: really truly recognizes the potential that we have, so we 309 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: don't want to let the opportunity pass us by. Corey, 310 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: talk to me, go ahead and finish your I was 311 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: just gonna say, Corey, I was gonna say, talk to 312 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: me about this year twenty twenty one for Corey Peters 313 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: you personally, how is it going right now? Um, It's 314 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: going well, you know, it's just it's just a matter 315 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: of every week. You know, I'm getting older and obviously 316 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: coming out the injury, so just figuring out a routine 317 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: that allows me to be at my best every Sunday. Um, 318 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: and that's just really putting the time in and um, 319 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinal have a great team. I work 320 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: with some great people outside of the Cardinals, and you know, 321 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: it's been it's been good for me. Obviously, just a 322 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: continual grind that the season is. It's important that I 323 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: just continue to stay on top of that and I 324 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: will and you know, I feel pretty good right now. 325 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to say, hey, the Cardinals have 326 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: a top five scoring offense, but hello, the Cardinals have 327 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: a top five scoring defense. And it's been that case 328 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: all season long. What do you like about this year's defense? 329 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: What stands out to you? Well, I think it's just, uh, 330 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: it's kind of on those same lines, a lot of 331 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: guys that are putting their hands in the pot. We 332 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: kind of run a lot of different things. Guys have 333 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: to step up at times, guys have to step back 334 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: at times, and so you know, everybody's really brought into 335 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: the team defense and really stepping in being a star 336 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: in the road that they're signed and regardless of what 337 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: that is, no egos, just putting your best foot forward 338 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: and to get it done for the team. UM And 339 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: I think that's been, you know, really helpful and it 340 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: allows us to go from game the game with um 341 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,959 Speaker 1: whatever playing that DJ and the rest of the staff. 342 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: I think we can be successful with Corey. Can you 343 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the defensive line room, some 344 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: of the younger guys and how they're developing in that room. 345 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: Can you talk a little bit about that. Yeah, I think, um, 346 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, Zach is having a really good year for 347 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: us and um, you know, really flashing and showing some 348 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: good things. Um, all of those guys worked really hard 349 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: this offseason. I mean they're hard workers in general, but um, 350 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: they really came back this this year, changed their bodies 351 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: and you know, a visible difference when you when you 352 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: look at them that I think you can see that 353 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: monkey he's coming along well, Uh, he's coming along well. Also, Um, 354 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: you know, obviously playing inside, it's a lot of technical 355 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: things that guys can improve on. But you know, I 356 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: think you're you're seeing that continue will growth between all 357 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: of them. And then Dogby is doing great as well, 358 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: showing up as well, making a lot of plays for us. 359 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm glad to see those guys continue 360 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: to grow, you know. Isaiah Simmons said this week, we're 361 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: on board with Corey Peters, Cardinal's defensive lineman. Isaiah Simmons 362 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: said that he values his defensive line like a quarterback 363 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: values his offensive line because it keeps him clean and 364 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: he can make plays. Right. And I wanted to ask him, 365 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: but I didn't have the guts. Isaiah, You thinking about 366 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: getting your d lineman a Christmas gift, you know, sort 367 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: of like a quarterback we get something for me, you know, 368 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: should that become a staple in the NFL, those inside 369 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 1: linebackers maybe getting a little something something for the d lineman. 370 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: I think so. I think it should be mandatory. And 371 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: now that I know that you said that, you know, 372 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna be asking him about it tomorrow. It's 373 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: on record in his press conference he did say that. 374 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: So that's by the way, here's Vance Joseph speaking of 375 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: press conferences, just talking about you know what he's been 376 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: talking about all year basically, and that is, Hey, if 377 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: you can win first down and or second down and 378 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: force that third and long, that really is all important 379 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: for that Cardinals defense. Here's your decordinator for our defense, 380 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: winning first down, winning second down, and keeping the third 381 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: downs longer to allow a chance to rush, to allow 382 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: you know, jump to rush. That's the key for our defense. 383 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: You know, we have to always win first down and 384 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: win second down so we can dictate third downs. All right, 385 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: So it's easy to say, but what's the key when 386 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: it happens. What are you guys doing as a defensive front. 387 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: I think we're all just on the same page, everybody 388 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: kind of working as a unit. I'm attacking the line 389 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: of scrimmage as a front and you know, linebackers being 390 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: able to clean up everything else. And you know, I 391 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: think when we do it right, we have a lot 392 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: of success. And you know, when we have lapses in 393 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,479 Speaker 1: technique or in all process, then that's when we have 394 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, issues. But um, you know, I'm looking forward 395 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: to continueing to have those opportunities to improve our run 396 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: defense and to show that, you know, we are capable. 397 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: You know Corey obviously, Zavian Collins hasn't gotten a lot 398 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: of reps yet. At the same time, I know that 399 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: he is developing. And Isaiah Simmons as well. Can you 400 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: talk about those two young guys in particular and what 401 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: you see from them when given the opportunity. I think 402 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: both of them are studs. You know obviously physically, you know, 403 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: they're big, tall guys and you know, fast, can run, 404 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: can move, everything you will want from a linebacker. Isaiah's 405 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: really starting to flash. The thing that's been most impressive 406 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: to me about him is his ability to create turnovers 407 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: and getting the ball out. He seems to have a 408 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 1: knack for that. And then zavan you know, obviously he 409 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: just needs to continue to get more reps, and I 410 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: think his biggest challenge is probably a mental one at 411 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: this point. And so as a as a middle linebacker, 412 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, like you we were just talking about with Isaiah, 413 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: it is akin two quarterback in the sense that you know, 414 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: you are the brain of the decense. You have to 415 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: make all the calls. So being able to physically do 416 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: something is one thing, but being able but having to 417 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, line a D lineup, get the secondary calls 418 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: and doing all that in a short amount of time. 419 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: Process and offensive formation and sets and making adjustments and 420 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: all those sorts of things. It's a process for everybody. 421 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: So um, he just needs to continue to work on 422 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: that and improve with that. How good is your safety combination? 423 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: I mean, give us a quick word on those two guys, 424 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: Brudha Baker and Jalen Thompson. You know, I think everybody 425 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: knows what Bouddha brings to the table. Obviously pro bowler 426 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: and you know, and the league player, but I think 427 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: Jayleen Jalen has really shown himself to be, you know, 428 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: really that type of player as well. Obviously coming up 429 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: and showing the physicality from the second level. Lots of 430 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: big hit this year, lots of key tackles, and you 431 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: know his feet, he has really good seat for say, 432 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like he had some cornerback qualities physically, 433 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: so and you know what, you know he played he 434 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: played corner in high school and that's the transition he made. 435 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: And we'll talk more about that when we come back, 436 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: and you're gonna hear what it might have sounded like 437 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: if you might have scored in Tennessee, Corey Peters. We 438 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: continue on the big red rage, Tanny Hill changing things 439 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: up under center. Second and eleven of the nineteen Tanny 440 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: Hill takes fakes. The running trouble gets Taydler Jones forces 441 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: a fumble, it's picked up by Corey Peters, pennies into 442 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: the end zone in a touchdown. Tandler Jones is all 443 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: over the field and the big guy, Corey Peters scoops 444 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: him up and scores and the Cardinals lead at nine. Nothing. 445 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: We'll let that hang just a little bit because eventually, 446 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: ultimately it was overturned and we don't have to tell 447 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: Wolf our guests that Corey Peter or he is our guest, 448 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: And uh, that's brutal, Paul, I can't believe you played 449 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: that I'm not the producer of the show, but we 450 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: thought maybe we'd let you bask in the glow of 451 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: that touchdown return there, even though you had an outstanding 452 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: game in your first game back from the knee injury, 453 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: had two tackles, you had two tackles for loss, and 454 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: that one fumble recovery that Corey Peters was this close 455 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: to being a touchdown memories, But but you were. You 456 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: enjoyed it for a good what sixty to ninety seconds 457 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: before they eventually overturned it. Right, Oh, for sure, I 458 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: thought I was in. For sure. We thought it was 459 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: no way, but I saw it on TV, and I 460 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: think I was at a little short Yeah, now, Corey, listen, 461 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: I want to get into obviously the Chicago Bears here momentarily, 462 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: and we'll do that. But Vance Joseph. Talk to me 463 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: about Vance Joseph as a defensive coordinator and your thoughts 464 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: on him becoming at some point in time again had 465 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: coach in the NF phone. Yeah, I love DJ. I 466 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: think he's a great candidate, obvious, an excellent communicator, and 467 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: he does a good job of getting everybody on the 468 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: same page, you know, making sure that we understand the 469 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: plan and you know that we can function properly and 470 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: put and play fast. Most importantly, before you get to 471 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: the Bears, let's talk about the road because the arison 472 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: our Cardinals are six and oh and every single win 473 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: has been by double digits, and the last team to 474 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: do that was in nineteen sixty eight. And even Cliff 475 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: Kingsbury has said, you know what, I'd love to bottle 476 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: up what we've done on the road and bring it home. 477 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: What is it about this team when you guys go 478 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: away from the AC Now, I have no idea really 479 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: what the difference is. I just you know, on the road, 480 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: I like playing on the road because you know, when 481 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: you travel with the team, he step on the field 482 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: is very clear that it's us against you know, everybody here. 483 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: So it's just I guess it's something to rally behind 484 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: and being on enemy territory. Um, you know, you really 485 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: want to get after it and get off two quick starts, 486 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: and I think we've been able to do that. Talk 487 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: about the Chicago Bears in their offense and what you 488 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: see on tape, well, I think the Bets are a 489 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: really good offensive line and a running game. Obviously, the 490 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: quarterback situation justin fields. Being a rookie, you can see 491 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: the talent every time you watch him play US elite 492 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: speed and he's able to you know, extend plays and 493 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: pick up yards with his seat. You can make all 494 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: the throws as well, you know, But he is a rookie, 495 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: So you know, if we get him or Andy Dalton, 496 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,239 Speaker 1: you know, which I think is still a little bit 497 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: up in the air. Whose event, And you know, we 498 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: played against him, we played against him last year in Dallas. 499 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: But obviously a veteran quarterback smart be able to get 500 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: them in the right plays and make the throws as well. 501 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a big challenge for us playing 502 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: on the road up there at the legendary stadium. So 503 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: I'm excited about that, you know. But the Bands are 504 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: good challenge for us. I mean they're four and what seven, 505 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: but they're only a game out of the playoff chase, 506 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: and they made a run at the end of last 507 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: year and got into the playoffs set final wildcard spot. 508 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: And they do feature David Montgomery and Wolf We've talked 509 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: about that and Corey. You know, there have been some 510 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: powerbacks who have given the Cardinals problems when you guys 511 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: have been stouting your run defense versus times when you haven't. 512 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: What has been the difference? I think it's just about consistency, 513 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: Guys doing what they're supposed to do every play and 514 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: playing as a unit, trusting one another and not trying 515 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: to do somebody else's job, just checking your own box. So, 516 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's definitely been a focus of rising. Montgomery 517 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: is a great NFL running back. You know, he's going 518 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: to get the yards that he's supposed to do. We 519 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: got to do a good job of mixing up the 520 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: fronts and giving him different looks and making sure there's 521 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: multiple guys that are get him down Corey. Are they 522 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: more power scheme than zone scheme or do they mix 523 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: it up pretty well? I'm the more zone scheme, but 524 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: you know they have some big guys and um some 525 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: strong guys, so you know, I would say that although 526 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: they running his own plays, they like to get downhill 527 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: and obviously the running back is a sturdy guy and 528 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: can can really you know, break tackles as well. How 529 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: does that affect you? How does that How does that 530 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: change your job? If you've got an offensive line that 531 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: is more zone as opposed to an offensive line that 532 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: is more gap scheme. How does that change your job 533 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: if at all? Well, I mean, it just depends. Um. 534 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: Most of the time, it's just the way I choose 535 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: to align based on um what I think we're gonna get. So, 536 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: if we're playing zone teams, um, depending on the speed 537 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: of the zone or how quickly the offensive line zone block, 538 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: I'll play wider um. But if they's slower, I may 539 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 1: play thicker because I you know, you don't think that 540 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: this guy's quick enough to really, you know, take off 541 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: on me. So you know, it just depends. And then 542 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: with gap scheme teams, you want to really recognize the 543 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: angles and eliminate them more never possible. So sometimes it'll 544 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: be a shade, sometimes it'll be a two eye Cardinals 545 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: d Lineman Corey Peters on board. You mentioned Vans Joseph earlier, 546 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: and he mentioned after the Seattle went that he thought 547 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: the defense did a great job of showing pre snap 548 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: looks then taking it away post snap. How multiple is 549 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: Vans and how often are you guys changing fronts and 550 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: coverages and giving offenses something to think about. Yeah, I 551 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: think this year we've we've played quite a bit of 552 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: different fronts. We use a lot of different personnel groups, 553 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: and you know, I think it does a good job 554 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: of keeping teams off balance. They don't really know or 555 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: it's hard to say, for share what we're gonna be 556 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: in UM. And then it also helps us because it 557 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: puts guys in situations where they can be successful, allow 558 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: them to of the things that they do well. Corey, 559 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: how much does the offense change with Andy Dalton under 560 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: center and Justin Fields when he's playing? How much does 561 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: it change? I mean, immediately, I think there'd be zone reads, 562 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: there'd be a lot more RPOs. But what are you 563 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: seeing on tape? I don't think the offense changes much. 564 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: I just think that you know, Justin Fields is a 565 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: much more dynamic runner. So you know, obviously when he's 566 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: in there and the play breaks down or look he's 567 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: not quite what they want. You know, his ability to 568 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: just take off and you know the yardage is really impressive. 569 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: I hadn't seen much of him before, you know, really 570 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: starting to prepare for this game, so you know, I 571 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: didn't really know that he was fast like that, but 572 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, he really has a lead speed. We've seen 573 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: Kyler were our defensive fronts, right, is that when you're 574 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: glad like if you end up chasing justin fields all 575 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: over the place. On the say, when you're glad you 576 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: have a deep D line room in a rotation going 577 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: oh absolutely, one hundred percent. I'm very appreciative of, you know, 578 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: our ability to roll guys and to keep guys fresh. 579 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: So Corey, here you are, you've got to buy. You're 580 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: coming off at by late. Do you think that favors 581 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: good football teams having to buy late? Um? You know, 582 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: I like it. Um, you know, obviously the first half 583 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: before the buy is a is a grind. But you know, 584 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: now we have six games less before playoffs, so you're 585 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: able to get a little break and refocus and um, 586 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: you know for the home stretch and try to finish 587 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: strong for the seating purposes and um, you know, going 588 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: to the playoffs ride and high peaking at the right time. 589 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: It's coming off to buy a challenge. The last two 590 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: years it hasn't been very pretty coming out of the buy. 591 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it can be a challenge. You know, 592 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: it's certainly something Cliff addressed this week, you know, But 593 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: like I said, I think we have a good group, 594 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: a very focused group. So you know, I'm expecting us 595 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: to come out and um have a good performance on Sunday. 596 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: And then the last factor Wolf while you're up in 597 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: the booth and the climate control, there's an eighty percent 598 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: chance of rain or so winds and cold and the 599 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: whole thing. In fact, here's Devon Kennard. I'd having to 600 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: break out a jacket recently. I guess he started packing 601 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: early for Chicago. Here's Canard. I know it'll be a 602 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: lot colder than here, and I know as soon as 603 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: the game's over, we're coming right back. So last night 604 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: I had to break out like a little cold like. 605 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, I haven't I've been worn this in years. 606 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: I had to go get it dry clean. They had 607 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: like dust and it's all wrinkled. I'm like, man, that's 608 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: that's an Arizona guy. Corey right there, that that's you know, 609 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: when you when you haven't even contemplated wearing a jacket 610 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: in over a year. I know it's really nice, you know, 611 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: good for it. I don't mind a cold weather. You know, 612 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know it was supposed to rain, but yeah, 613 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: you know that is gonna be miserable. Corey right there, 614 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: your Hammys are gonna get all tight now because instead 615 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: of rain. It's gonna be a freezing rain, and supposedly, Corey, 616 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a sixteen mile per hour wind 617 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: as well. And you know up there that can get nasty, 618 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: can it. Yeah, that's gonna be brutal, you know, But 619 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: everybody's playing in the same condition. So you know, I'm 620 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: looking forward to the challenge, and I'm sure we'll be 621 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: ready to go. I'm interested to see how some of 622 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: the guys handling it, because this will be the first, 623 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, real cold game we've had in a while. 624 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: Last question for me Rodney Hudson. Guys rave about Rodney Hudson, 625 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals center, and what he's brought to the offense 626 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: and the team this year. I mean, you go against 627 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: centers for a living. You tell us what makes him 628 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: so good? You know. It's funny, we were talking about 629 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: this the other day. You know, Rodney's a really strong 630 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: guy first and foremost, but he's also really smart. You know, 631 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: he's play center in the NFL for a long time. 632 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: He's um, he has all the savvy, you know, so 633 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: he's rarely out of position, you know, So anything that 634 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: you do to him to try to attack him and 635 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: beat him you're gonna have to truly create it, So 636 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to either run him over and knock 637 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: him out of the way or really, uh, you know, 638 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: make some big movements to you know, beat his hands. 639 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: But in that case, you know, he's a center, so 640 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: there's a guard there, and you know it's not a 641 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: lot of space there. But um, you know, I think 642 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: his brain is probably his most uh you know, important tool. 643 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: I guess. I guess it's true for all of us. 644 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: But you know, he's a really smart player. And the 645 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: communication the thing that he does best for our offensive line, 646 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: it's getting everybody on the same page and the leadership 647 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: that he brings with that. Well, someday, Corey, we're gonna 648 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: get the real story on how you ended up getting 649 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald once upon a time in a wrestling headlock 650 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: on the weight room floor. I have intuition that I'm thinking, Okay, 651 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: Truck probably tried to take you down and accomplished high 652 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: school wrestler sort of like he took Wolf down. What 653 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: three times Wolf Larry tackled you back in the day, 654 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: And unlike Wolf, Larry paid for it with Corey Peters 655 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 1: and he got the worst out of that he ended 656 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: up a pretzel on the floor, but we'll save that 657 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: for the next time. Corey. We appreciate your time tonight. 658 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Corey. There you go 659 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,959 Speaker 1: as I tell you, Hey, BALI let me just say, 660 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: Corey Peters and that defensive line is going to be 661 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: instrumental if the Arizona Cardinals are gonna win a game, 662 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: no doubt. We'll talk more about that game and a 663 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: reminder at the Day Pash podcast featuring Cardinals QB. Colt 664 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: McCoy is up. Get it where you get all your podcasts. 665 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: We continue with a big Red Rage presented by Santan 666 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: four in Gilbert gave Pash alongside of heavily caffeinated Ron Wolfley. 667 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: Here at Soldier Field, right now is time to drop 668 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,760 Speaker 1: the hammer. There's playing with great intensity, and then there's 669 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: playing with great intensity. That he was running, He was 670 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: running and then he got hit by spot Day. Never 671 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: been in a fight where you were bloody in the 672 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: other guy's face and it was just so easy slapping 673 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: them around. I think that was you and me last 674 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: week got little like a man taser at a trailer park. 675 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: Oh oh my goodness, Shoa, whoa whoa wow, wow, wow wow. 676 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: That was scary, yummy, sloppy. They are bludgeoning the Bears 677 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: right now. The spank oometer is in the red. You know, 678 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: we need more spank oometer. Wolf. That should be your 679 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: new Year's resolution. Come on now, you know, especially in 680 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: this game coming out of the by I mean, the 681 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: spank factor needs to be high because it hasn't been 682 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: the last two years out of the by. No. You 683 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: know what. Honestly, Paul had as a great observation right there, 684 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: the spank oometer does need the red line. Here. Listen, 685 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: the Bears have one way to win this game, in 686 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: my opinion, one way to be in this game later 687 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: that is to win the line of scrimmage on bull 688 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: sides of the ball ball, especially if the weather is 689 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: bad in the Carolina loss, would you say the Panthers 690 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: won the line of scrimmage? Yes, And it's amazing how 691 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: when you win the physicality battle right that, all of 692 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: a sudden you end up with takeaways and you win 693 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: the turnover battle. It's funny how that happens when you're 694 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: the harder hitting team. So we'll see. Hey, the Bears 695 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 1: have won five of the last seven in this series. 696 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: We know it's the oldest rivalry in the league, going 697 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: all the way back to nineteen twenty. So there's all 698 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: this history. But you're also talking about a Bears team 699 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: that has been reeling. They just snapped a five game skid. 700 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: Ron Wolflee, their head coach. There have been two words, 701 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: fire Naggie. That's been all over Chicago Land. Not just 702 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: chance at games, chance at the United Center during Bulls 703 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: and Blackhawks games. There have been chance at his sons 704 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: high school football games. Despicable and deplorable businesses on their 705 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 1: marquees have fire Naggie displayed out front. It's but he 706 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: got to win against the Lions. And here's the stat 707 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: you need to know him, Matt Naggie. He is seven 708 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: and one against the Lions, in sub five hundred against 709 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: every other team in his four years. Yeah, that's that's 710 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: not good, Paul, that's not good. Right there. It's still 711 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't get me sidetrack, Pollie. I want 712 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: to talk about the Bears. I want to talk about 713 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: the fact that they're number three in the league in 714 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: their run rate. Did you know that, Paul did not 715 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: know that the Bears with David Montgomery, Of course, and 716 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: that very good offensive line. Corey Peters talking about that 717 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: good offensive line. They love to run the ball and 718 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: they do it very very well. And I would say 719 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: basically in between the tackles is where they specialize. We 720 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 1: have seen from time to time, Palli. We have seen 721 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals in that front seven struggle to stop 722 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: the run against good running football teams. We've also seen 723 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: them shut it down against good running football teams like 724 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and the Tennessee Titans. So what what 725 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: are we going to see from the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday? 726 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 1: I would say start there because it's one of the 727 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: things the Bears can do is run the football. And look, 728 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: if they run it with a quarterback, that's going to 729 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: be an added dynamic that Corey Peters cited that if 730 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: indeed Justin Fields goes now, I don't think most people 731 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: are expecting him, but you're right, you're talking about an 732 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: offense that is dead last and passing offense. They are 733 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: able to get the run going at times, although ever 734 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: since David Montgomery sprain that knee in Week four, he 735 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: hasn't quite been the same or as effective. And then 736 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: if it's a sloppy game and it's limited possessions. Yeah, 737 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,439 Speaker 1: it could get sideways, and you've got a Bears team 738 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: that just gotta win. Snap this kid, they're only a 739 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: game out of the playoff race. Incomprehensibly. So if all 740 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the crowd gets behind him at home 741 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: and they get a little momentum, we know all that's happened, 742 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: and we know what the Cardinals have looked like coming 743 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: out of the by the last two years. It's really interesting, Bully, 744 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: because in rundown situation once again, and never forget run 745 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: down first and ten second and one to six. That's 746 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: who you are as an offense. It's who you are. 747 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: Never forget that. The Bears they love to be an 748 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: eleven personnel fifty six percent of the time and run down. 749 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: So that's one back, one tight end, three wide receivers, 750 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: and they literally split it up fifty fifty. They are 751 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 1: run pass fifty fifty out of eleven personnel. And rundown 752 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: situation when they get into two tights, Paul, when they 753 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,959 Speaker 1: go twelve personnel, which happens twenty nine percent of the time, man, 754 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: that's when all of a sudden, look out, that's when 755 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: they lower the plow and hit the gas. Sixty one 756 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: percent run, thirty nine percent pass. That's what the Cardinals 757 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: are going to have to deal with, I think twelve 758 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: personnel and the fact that they're going to try to 759 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: hammer it. And their number one receiver, Allen Robinson is 760 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: not practice yet this week. So when you say two tights, 761 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: they have two legitimate receiving weapons in Jimmy Graham and 762 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 1: Cole Commet. Both were very good against the Lions. He 763 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: saw Jimmy Graham with a touchdown catch. You saw Cole 764 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: come at eight, grab sixty five yards. So there's that, 765 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: and then there's our producer Jim Almahondro screaming at me 766 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: via tex. Now, wait a minute, what about the Cardinals 767 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: run game, Ron Wolfley, what about a sloppy game and 768 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: you bust out James Conner and you take it to 769 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: a Bears team, Because here's what you need to know 770 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: on the Bears defense. The last four times they have 771 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: given up less than one hundred yards rushing, they won 772 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: all four. The last five times they've given up more 773 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: than one hundred yards rushing, they've lost all five. Yeah, 774 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: there's no doubt. BALI right there, I'm glad you brought 775 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: that up, because the Arizona Cardinals are number five in 776 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: the National Football League in run rate, number five the 777 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: air rate. We were laughing about this last week, but 778 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: now they've dropped a number five. That's still a leak. 779 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: Can you imagine top five and running the football. The 780 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: Bears are number three, the Cardinals are number five, and 781 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,439 Speaker 1: you know, a polly once again, this is exactly why 782 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: you need to be capable of doing anything. This is 783 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 1: exactly why you need to be balanced. Whether you're a 784 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,280 Speaker 1: good pass team or a good running team or both. 785 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: Man you want that balance in your offense so that 786 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: when you go to Soldier Field, you can run the 787 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: ball with the likes of a James Connor and hammer 788 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: the ball. I wouldn't be surprised if James Connor touches 789 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: the ball thirty times in this game. Yeah, and once 790 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: again Cliff Kingsbury and his TV show said, yeah, we 791 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: have to do something about that, right, being top five 792 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: in the in the run rate. Okay, he's stand back 793 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: and he's joking. He's the one call in the plays 794 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: and he was asked big picture coming out of the 795 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: by This is the first of the final six games Hey, 796 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: head coach, what do you want to see? You'd like 797 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: to see improvement in our areas? At times I thought 798 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: we played really good, complimentary football, but at certain games 799 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: we didn't reach the level that we'd like to. And 800 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: I think just consistency over these last six and being 801 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,800 Speaker 1: the best team we can be moving forward. But I 802 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: think our best football is out in front of us. 803 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,399 Speaker 1: I told our team that before he left on the break, 804 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of room for improvement in all areas, 805 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: and that'll be our goal moving forward. Like Aaa Simmons 806 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: said this week, you know what, if anyone's taking the 807 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 1: Bears lightly. If the Cardinals lose this game, then guess what. 808 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: They lose control of their own destiny in the playoff race, 809 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: which brings us full circle back to the hashtag everyone 810 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: should live by no lambeaux because the Packers are right 811 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: on your heels. They're stealing some of your number one 812 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: votes in some of these power polls, and so yes, 813 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: that's why I win against the Bears. Sub five hundred 814 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: Bears is vitally important. And I also think too being 815 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,280 Speaker 1: able to run the ball once again for the Cardinals 816 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,919 Speaker 1: is going to be critical. PAULI and the reason being 817 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,760 Speaker 1: is the Bears are number one in sacks per attempt 818 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, but they're number twenty eight 819 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: in defensive quarterback rating pall And you know this is 820 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: a big metric to me. It really is, because quarterback rating. 821 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals are number one in the National Football 822 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: League in quarterback rating, and quarterback rating is an excellent 823 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: metric as to how a human being is actually playing 824 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback position in the National Football League. Their number 825 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: one with the edition of Colt McCoy playing in three 826 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: games as well. So you know it right now, Paulie, 827 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to run it and they're gonna have 828 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: to throw it because the Bears are number twenty eight 829 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: in defensive quarterback rating in the National Football League. If 830 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: they get to you, they get to you. But if 831 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: they don't get to you, you're completing passes against them. 832 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: Paul Hey, when you think of the Bears, how can 833 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: you not think, oh, well, I don't know.
