Speaker 5: Well, we have reached the end and unfortunately there is

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 5: no postseason football. As we say, Welcome Cardinals Red Sea Report.

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 5: We do it each and every Tuesday. Yes, the season

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 5: has ended, but we are with you year round. Now

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 5: talking about the offseason. Craig Gria, Lupal Calvic and Rob

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 5: Fredericks are joining us here on this Tuesday, following Week

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 5: eighteen in which the Cardinals not only beat the forty

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 5: nine ers, but swept the season series forty seven to

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 5: twenty four. Always good Rob to end on a high notes,

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: even though there is still disappointments considering the playoffs are

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 5: not being met.

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, and even though head coach Jonathan Gannon doesn't believe

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 6: in momentum, there is some good feelings going into the offseason. Now,

28
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 6: coming off of this victory against the forty nine ers

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 6: division opponent and the way the Cardinals played, I think

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 6: really can carry on into the offseason and propel this team.

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 7: Well, at least you know now right you went into

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 7: last offseason you didn't have a division win, So I

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 7: don't know what that means for confidence, but there should

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 7: be no question. Now you went three and three in

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 7: the division and you were a ricochet away from sweeping LA,

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 7: just like you swept the forty nine Ers. Those Seahawks

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 7: games weren't and yes there was a lot of self

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 7: inflicted against Seattle. You want a piece of Seattle asap?

39
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 7: How about a season opener against Seattle? Anybody with me

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 7: on that one? Show a hands, I'll take that in

41
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 7: Seattle anywhere September. You know what potential rain in the

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 7: parking lot outside Rob's of State, whatever, I mean, we'll

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 7: play him there. Actually it's a cobblestone driveway anyway, you know,

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 7: so I at least with that in mind, does momentum

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 7: carry over. No, but the confidence, and you know, maybe

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 7: just in the knowledge, I would say, of what you need. Now,

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 7: you know, after the first year, okay, you got used

48
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 7: to your own roster. Now maybe after year two, not

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 7: only do you know your roster that much better, but

50
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 7: I think you truly know your wants and your needs

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 7: and you probably know thy opposition really really well.

52
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: At this point, confidence has been the word that we've

53
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 5: heard a lot from coaches from players, because, yeah, this team,

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 5: those fifty three players, they're not all coming back. This

55
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 5: roster in twenty twenty four is going to look different,

56
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: maybe much different in twenty twenty five. But those individuals

57
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 5: rob that are going to still be wearing that Arizona

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: Cardinals uniform this upcoming season. How they finished that good

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 5: taste in their mouth based off their performance not only

60
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 5: on Sunday, but maybe they had a good year all

61
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 5: season long. That does carry over.

62
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 6: To your point, it does, and you know, is there

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 6: really an off season anymore? With the way the players

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 6: can get together on their own and develop that chemistry

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 6: and build on the chemistry is something that's going to

66
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 6: be vital, and you need to look no further than

67
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 6: the relationship the chemistry between Marvin Harrison Junior and Kyler Murray.

68
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 6: That's something that's often been talked about this season and

69
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 6: it's something that you know, I know they're going to

70
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 6: work very hard in the off season to build on.

71
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 7: And you saw it in the last two games, once

72
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 7: each at least against the Rams and then the forty

73
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 7: nine ers to wrap up the season. You saw the

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 7: sideline deep shot back shoulder connection, something we'd been waiting

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 7: for the majority of the year. So you did see

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 7: some aspects of their chemistry come to fruition, things that

77
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 7: you had been working on and waiting to develop and

78
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 7: take place in a game. And really the game is

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 7: the only way, the only place you can truly.

80
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 4: Practice that sort of stuff.

81
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 7: And we talked to Jonathan Gannon on his TV show

82
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 7: about that and he's like, look, in today's world, I

83
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 7: can't have my number one receiver going against my number

84
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 7: one corner monoi mono, full physicality, full contact football in practice.

85
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 7: The risk reward isn't there. And so some of that

86
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 7: stuff you have to learn on the job on game day.

87
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: Speaking of jag Let's flash back to Sunday postgame, his

88
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 5: thoughts not only on the game, a win over the

89
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 5: forty nine ers and finishing eight and nine.

90
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 8: Then acomplish what we wanted to accomplish this year, and

91
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 8: that stings. But I'm proud of them, I really am.

92
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 8: They fought, they battled, We had a lot of guys

93
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 8: in the lineup, roles are changing, you know. To put

94
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 8: that kind of effort against the San Francisco forty nine Ers,

95
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 8: a well coached, tough, physical team, I thought that was

96
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 8: pretty cool to see. So I'm proud of them and

97
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 8: I thank them for that. You know, It's good to

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 8: see us close out this year at home with a win.

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 5: Overall eight wins, doubling what they finished a year ago

100
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 5: six home wins, which is the most since twenty fifteen,

101
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 5: and as Paul you mentioned, three and three in the

102
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 5: NFC West after not winning a single division game in

103
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon's first season. Kyler Murray talking about what meant

104
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 5: or what it meant to win on Sunday.

105
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 9: I want to be playing next week. Didn't reach that,

106
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 9: didn't reach our goals, But you know, I know we're

107
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 9: I know we're heading right direction.

108
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 10: I know that.

109
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 9: Yes, it's unfortunate, but you know it's good to good

110
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 9: to play. Come out here and play the right way

111
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 9: to pride and how we play in Kamar and win.

112
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 5: That's also what we heard not only postgame on Sunday,

113
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 5: but even Monday morning as players cleaned out their locker.

114
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 5: It was a consistent message like where this team is headed,

115
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: the direction the foundation laid on twenty twenty three. In

116
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four, you build maybe that first level now

117
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 5: here in twenty twenty five, maybe it's the second and

118
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 5: third level to get into the postseason.

119
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 10: Yeah.

120
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 6: And one of the things I think this offseason the

121
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 6: coaching staff wants to identify is, you know, how did

122
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 6: we win four games in a row in the middle

123
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 6: of the season, get to the by at six and four,

124
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 6: and then you know, the wheels kind of came off

125
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 6: right two and five to end the season. What what

126
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 6: did we do different? What was different in that span?

127
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 6: Is there anything we can do to change that? What

128
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 6: we have to identify what it is that that happened

129
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 6: at the end of the season so that we can

130
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 6: get that corrected and get it so that we don't

131
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 6: have those those end of the year skids where you know,

132
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 6: for whatever reason, this team just just comes out flat

133
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 6: and is not able to come away with victories.

134
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 5: It was interesting though, because Jonathan Gannon brought that up

135
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 5: on Monday Paul about the bye week, and he understands

136
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 5: why everyone points to that as a pivot point in

137
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 5: the season, yet coaches it's week to week. He did

138
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: acknowledge though, that he will look back at how they

139
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 5: handled things daily and then Okay, the bye week happens.

140
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 4: What do you do?

141
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 5: I think. I think it's easy for everyone to point

142
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 5: to the bye week, yet at the same time, something happened,

143
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 5: maybe not immediately during that bye week, but limping into

144
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 5: the finish line. That's that's the bad taste that people

145
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 5: still have.

146
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

147
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 7: JG hinted heavily recently a couple of weeks ago on

148
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 7: his weekly TV show Game Plan, that they would look

149
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 7: into that in the off season. They're going to examine

150
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 7: them before and after pre and post by and I

151
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 7: asked Calvin Beacham before the Jonathan Gannon press conference. I

152
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 7: asked beach after his thirteenth year in the league, right, basically,

153
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 7: the CEO of the locker room and we'll be a

154
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 7: future business CEO at some point and or governor. And

155
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 7: we just said, okay, you know what's behind the pre

156
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 7: post by win loss record, and he sort of rolled

157
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 7: his eyes and he said, that's the NFL one score

158
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 7: games execution. We won some of those one score games

159
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 7: before the bye, we did not win them after the bye.

160
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: And I think if you.

161
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 7: Drill down a little bit deeper, it's somewhat captain obvious.

162
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 7: But the two games you won after the bye were

163
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 7: the two games you won the turnover battle against New

164
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 7: England against the forty nine ers. At the very end,

165
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 7: forty nine ers racked up yards all day long. They

166
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 7: had four hundred something totally yards.

167
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: You know what.

168
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 7: Else, They had two interceptions in a fumble by Josh Dobbs.

169
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 7: And if you look at Kyler, he had three interceptions

170
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 7: before the buye.

171
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: And he had eight after the bye.

172
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 7: So if you don't protect thy football, guess what you

173
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 7: put yourself in jeopardy of losing games. And I brought

174
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 7: up a you know you have a top five youngest

175
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 7: roster and then beat them. Officially rolled his eyes at

176
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 7: that one, said that has nothing to do with anything.

177
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 7: You know, other teams have young rosters. It's just can

178
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 7: you get the job done, especially in those money moments.

179
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 5: The value of the ball. We hear that a lot

180
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 5: from Jonathan Gannon, and then just playing with a little

181
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 5: bit more consistency. It's a handful of plays. Rob you

182
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 5: know this.

183
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 4: You played in the league.

184
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 5: Games are won and lost. You can point to five

185
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 5: or six plays a game. Hey, that's why. No, maybe

186
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 5: that's why. And I think if you limit those points

187
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 5: at the end of a game where you say, all right,

188
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 5: we were on the short end because of X, Y

189
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: and Z, if you can limit that now all of

190
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 5: a sudden, maybe you come out ahead more times than not.

191
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, the talent disparity is so minimal in this league

192
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 6: from team to team that you're right, And it really

193
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 6: comes down every game to four or five plays here

194
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 6: or there that are monumental in terms of the outcome

195
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 6: of that game. And Paul, you hit, You hit the

196
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: nail on the head. It's turnovers. The Cardinals defense had

197
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 6: not been getting any turnovers, not been causing any turnovers,

198
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 6: and someday you saw it. You know, you get two

199
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 6: interseven in a fumble recovery. Those are things that really

200
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 6: have a big impact on wins and losses. You got

201
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 6: the fake punt the first down. Now that didn't have

202
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 6: any direct correlation to the score, but special teams plays

203
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 6: can be huge in the outcomes of games. So all

204
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 6: these little things kind of add up and that goes

205
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 6: a long way to determining wins and losses.

206
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 7: Yeah, when you look at the turnover ratio, it's not

207
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 7: just the offense turning the ball over, it's the defense

208
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 7: not taking it away. To your point, and all you

209
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 7: have to do is go back to week seventeen at

210
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 7: the Rams, Buddha Baker had a ball hit him both hands.

211
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 7: Garrett Williams phenomenal play to flip the hips and get

212
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 7: his hands on a ball, but he had both hands

213
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 7: on that ball could have been an interception. So there

214
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 7: were opportunities where the defense. And going into that last game,

215
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 7: they had only fourteen takeaways all season long, which was

216
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 7: bottom three in the NFL.

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 5: And then you talk about complimentary football, what do you

218
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 5: do when you take the football away? The Cardinals only

219
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 5: finished with four touchdowns off of seven team takeaway So again,

220
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: are you doing on both ends of the line of

221
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 5: scrimmage offense and defense one final message to the team.

222
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: Head coach, Jonathan Gannon, when he addressed reporters on Monday,

223
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 5: told us what he would tell the team.

224
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 8: I told him today, you know, I'm disappointed we're not

225
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 8: playing right now, and that's you know, falls on me first,

226
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 8: and it's our own doing. And I also told them

227
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 8: the game's fair. You know, we shouldn't be playing right now.

228
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 8: You know, it's tough to take on the chin, but

229
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 8: I think when you can take it on a chin

230
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 8: like that, you should improve and grow and learn and

231
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 8: become better. So that's what we all have to do

232
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 8: from it.

233
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: You want to make the playoffs, it's very simple with

234
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 5: more games, I mean, eight is not going to cut it.

235
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 5: And then at the end of the season, where we

236
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 5: were talking about, okay, hey you're still alive. If you

237
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 5: get some help, no control your own destiny, take it

238
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 5: out of everyone else's hands, and put yourself in the postseason.

239
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 5: And those fourteen teams that are playing twelve this weekend,

240
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 5: plus the Chiefs and the Lions, now all of a sudden, yeah,

241
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 5: that's that's the goal, and that's what everyone is going

242
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 5: to talk about here this offseason.

243
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: Pointing to twenty twenty five.

244
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 6: Well, that is the goal. And the off season started yesterday,

245
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 6: and you know it's different for every player. Some guys

246
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 6: need a little time to decompress, to you know, kind

247
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 6: of recharge their batteries and get away from football for

248
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 6: a little bit. But you'll see other guys in there

249
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 6: in the weight room getting after it already. So but

250
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 6: I imagine that there's going to be an active and

251
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 6: full participation in the offseason program. This team. I can

252
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 6: tell culturally they are united and they want to get

253
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 6: into the playoffs next year.

254
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 5: There are several cards in that player's lot right now

255
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 5: as we speak here. So yeah, to your point, Rob,

256
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 5: the offseason it began yesterday morning and continues here on

257

Speaker 2: Shot gun Snap Murray to throw a fade right side

263
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: of the end zone on the money to Marvin Harrison

264
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: Junior touchdown. What a throw by Murray. That's his sport

265
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: touchdown pass, tying a career high.

266
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 10: You can see that coming a mile away, Marvin Harrison

267
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 10: Junior one on one against the corner, and he went

268
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 10: ahead and ran the fade, and sure enough, Kyler Murray

269
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 10: put it out there, and Marvin Harrison Junior went and

270
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 10: got it.

271
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: Tex Fitz and let him know that Marvin Harrison Junior

272
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: just tied his rookie record. That's eight touchdown catches, tying

273
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: in with Ank Kwon Bolden and Larry for most touchdown

274
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: catches by rookie and team.

275
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 10: Hisstery pretty good company right there.

276
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: By the way.

277
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 5: Fits in attendance for the regular season finale on Sunday,

278
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 5: watching the Cardinals beat the forty nine Ers forty seven

279
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 5: twenty four. But he did not visit the broadcast booth.

280
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 5: And I'm guessing, Paul, based off your facial expression right now,

281
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 5: he did not come down to the sideline to say

282
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 5: hello to you.

283
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 7: You know, he was down on the sideline. He did

284
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 7: not say hello to Polly Pencilneck. You know, I mean,

285
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 7: he's a busy guy.

286
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: You know.

287
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 7: I didn't want to go up to him, make it

288
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 7: look like I was trying to get camera time because

289
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 7: they had him on the jumbo tron.

290
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: You know, I don't want to be that guy.

291
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 7: Dave was a little salty because I guess Larry hadn't

292
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 7: returned a few recent text messages and so, but it

293
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 7: was good to see Larry and to spell any notions

294
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 7: or rumors out there that he had let himself go

295
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 7: and had a beer.

296
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 6: Gut.

297
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 8: No.

298
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 7: He looks great. He's still in game shape. So I

299
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 7: just want to refute that he would.

300
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 6: He didn't tackle you or attempt to tackle you on

301
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 6: the sidehinds Paul.

302
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 7: It's too easy for me. Actually, he can't get down

303
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 7: that low anymore. WHOA, So it's a you know, I

304
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 7: make him on, you know, I mean the flexibility, the

305
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 7: dexterity isn't quite there in his advanced age, his post

306
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 7: playing day, so you know, just be go easy on

307
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 7: your back, Larry.

308
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: Larry I fits in attendance watching Marvin Harrison Junior not

309
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 5: only tie the franchise rookie record for touchdown receptions, but

310
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: also finished with the second most receptions and receiving yards

311
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 5: by a rookie and franchise history. Good season, solid season,

312
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: Maybe not the season we anticipated or thought he was

313
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: going to have as a first year player, the fourth

314
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 5: overall pick, number one wide receiver. But those numbers rob

315
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 5: look very good.

316
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the thing with statistics, right, you look at

317
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 6: him and you say, wow, he had a really good

318
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 6: rookie season, But when you match it with expectations going

319
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 6: into the season, I just don't think that they matched

320
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 6: in terms of the results. So it was a good

321
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 6: season for Marvin Harrison junior. You know, you look at

322
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 6: it as fourteen point three yards per reception, eight touchdowns,

323
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,479
Speaker 6: So he did some good things and I think especially

324
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 6: at the end the last couple of games especially, you know,

325
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 6: he's ending on a high note in terms of his

326
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 6: relationship and chemistry with Kyler Murray. A lot to work

327
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 6: on in the offseason still, you know, I think there's

328
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 6: things that he can work on in terms of route running,

329
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 6: in terms of separation, getting off the jams and and

330
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 6: really you know, working that route development. But a good

331
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 6: a good season. But you look at some games. You know,

332
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 6: the most receptions he had in a game were six

333
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 6: receptions in two games, and he had seven games where

334
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 6: he had either zero, one, two or three receptions. So

335
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 6: you got to you'd like to see that volume get

336
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 6: up there in terms of not only just targets, but receptions,

337
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 6: and that's something that they have to work on next season.

338
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 5: I think that's a fair assessment, and I think it's

339
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 5: an assessment that Marvin would agree with because we've heard

340
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 5: from him each and every week this season, Paul talking about, Yeah,

341
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 5: I can be better, I need to be better.

342
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

343
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 7: The catch to target ratio, you know, it improved as

344
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 7: the season went along, and it needed to. To Rob's point,

345
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 7: I mean there were games where he had quite a

346
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 7: few targets, you know, two catches on seven targets. Now,

347
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 7: was it always him and making plays on the football,

348
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 7: not necessarily? You heard Kyler say it in his final

349
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 7: press briefing, that is the downfield passing attack improved in

350
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 7: week seventeen. In Week eighteen to a certain degree. It

351
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 7: had to do with receivers being in the right place

352
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 7: at the right time. So there's no doubt that A.

353
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 7: He had to get his confidence. B he had to

354
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 7: learn how to read coverage. Remember we had our four

355
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 7: c's earlier in the year. Right, confidence, you know catching,

356
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 7: you know coverage. You got to read those coverages. You

357
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 7: got to be in the same page as your quarterback.

358
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 7: You have to read it like a quarterback, and so

359
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 7: I think that was part of the process. You didn't

360
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 7: see all these exotic disguises in college. That just didn't happen,

361
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 7: all the pre and post snap sort of antics that

362
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 7: the NFL is all about with disguises these days. So

363
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 7: that was something. And then the physicality of corner I

364
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 7: think that was the four seat cornerbacks. It's just a

365
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 7: different style. And guess what, sometimes you got to return fire.

366
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 7: You've got to be physical with these guys, especially at

367
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 7: the top of routes, to separate and they get yourself

368
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 7: between the dB and the football.

369
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 5: A solid first season. Now, what is the head coach,

370
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon think about Marvin's first year?

371
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 8: He was a premier player for US. He's going to

372
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 8: continue to be a premier player for US, and he

373
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 8: hasn't hit his ceiling yet. Now I look forward to

374
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 8: the offseason that he's about to go through. I look

375
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 8: forward to him getting back into building and playing to

376
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 8: the level that I want him to play, that you

377
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 8: guys want him to play, and that he wants to

378
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 8: play most importantly, and I know he's going to get there.

379
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 5: That's good to hear because a first offseason really a

380
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 5: first offseason with a team not coming off a college

381
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 5: year where you're basically going non stop. So that's going

382
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 5: to be good for Marvin Harrison Junior. You know about

383
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 5: Trey McBride, you know about James Connor. Okay, now, the

384
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 5: head of the offense is your quarterback. Kyle Murray just

385
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 5: completed his sixth season going into year seven. He's not

386
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 5: going anywhere. JG made that very very clear on Monday,

387
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 5: both to the media and on with Burns and Gambo.

388
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 5: K one is our quarterback in twenty twenty five. With

389
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 5: that said, and Kyler knows this because he said it

390
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 5: several times. He needs to be better in order for

391
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: this team to be better.

392
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 8: He's a top level franchise quarterback. And uh, he's played

393
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 8: like that. He's shown that. You know, he was in

394
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 8: there talking to me today. You know, we're kind of

395
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 8: going through some things this and that, and you know,

396
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 8: I think the best teams win, you know, so we

397
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 8: got to make sure we have the best team. And

398
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 8: he understands how he fits into that.

399
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 5: Hey, coach Jonathan Gannon talking about a conversation that he

400
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 5: had with Kyler earlier on Monday.

401
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 6: Yeah's similar to a conversation Craig, you and I had

402
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 6: off air before before this show, where you know, you

403
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 6: look at quarterbacks, you look at the top quarterbacks in

404
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 6: this league. You know, the five or six quarterbacks that

405
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 6: you can kind of identify as as the elite quarterbacks.

406
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 6: They're all in the playoffs, and they're all on really

407
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 6: good teams. So there's a strong team built around those quarterbacks.

408
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 6: And you know, I think that's that's where the Arizona

409
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 6: Cardinals want to go and are planning on going in

410
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 6: terms of just building up this roster around Kyler Murray,

411
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 6: because you know, the from a talent standpoint, he's he's special.

412
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 6: He can do some special things, especially when he runs

413
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 6: the football, and you haven't seen as much running from

414
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray this year, but when he does that, that

415
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 6: really allows him to open up and and to do

416
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 6: some special things. So it's you know, it's it's a

417
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: it's a process that they're gonna have to go through

418
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 6: obviously in the offseason free agency and the draft, to

419
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 6: continuously turn over this roster, build this roster, make it

420
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 6: a better team. And I you know, I think I

421
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 6: think Kyler the way he ended this season is on

422
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 6: a high note and and it's got to feel good

423
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 6: about the team, has to feel good about where he's

424
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 6: at and where this team can go. Especially with Marvin

425
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 6: Harrison Junior going into second season. You get you get

426
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 6: everybody healthy. You know, there's some there's some good things

427
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 6: that can happen, especially going into next year.

428
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 7: When it comes to building a team around a quarterback,

429
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 7: I'll use Joe Burrow as an example.

430
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 4: This year.

431
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 7: What forty plus touchdown passes. I mean, he's right there.

432
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 7: If you want to talk about MVP's or most outstanding

433
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 7: player in terms of quarterback play, it is Josh Allen,

434
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 7: Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow is right there. Yet they

435
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 7: had a terrible defense. Luan Rumo just got fired. The

436
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 7: old line was porous and banged up. They really didn't

437
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 7: have much of a run game. And guess what, they

438
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 7: just missed the playoffs, not don't like the Arizona Cardinals.

439
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 7: And seven of their eight losses were by a single score,

440
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 7: not nunlike the Arizona Cardinals.

441
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 4: So does Kyler have to be better? Yes?

442
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: Does the entire team have to elevate? Absolutely, the defense,

443
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 7: you build the offensive line from the inside out. You know,

444
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 7: you do have a top seven rush game and you're

445
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 7: a number two in yards per carry as an offense.

446
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 7: So the run game is there. Now it's trying to

447
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 7: fill in a few of the other blanks and really

448
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 7: improving as you go into year three.

449
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 5: It's year two, though, full season for Kyler Murray within

450
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 5: this offense. I mean, you got eight games a year

451
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 5: ago and with Sir, I think trying to figure out

452
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 5: what Drew Petsing wanted and what Kyler wanted within this offense.

453
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 5: And now we'll see what happens with Petsing. According to reports,

454
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 5: he is among the candidates to be available or to

455
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 5: speak with the Chicago Bears for their opening a head coach.

456
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 5: But now if Petsing is back and he doesn't get

457
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 5: a head coaching job, if he doesn't get the Bears

458
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 5: job or another job, he's coming back to b euroc

459
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 5: for a second full season and a second full offseason

460
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 5: to figure out, all right, this is what I envision.

461
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 5: What do you like, Kyler? What do we need to

462
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 5: work on to where we get more of a little

463
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 5: bit more of a balance in that PAS run game.

464
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, and just quickly going back to earlier, we were

465
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 6: talking about Marvin Harrison, junior, and what do we need

466
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 6: to do to improve the downfield connection with him? Some

467
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 6: of that goes to play calling, right you look at

468
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison junior and when he's most successful this year,

469
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 6: when he's been most successful, it's been on those crossing routes,

470
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 6: those deep crossing routes. See more of that, you know,

471
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 6: I think that's that's something that you know, we can

472
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: do as a as a team in terms of play

473
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 6: calling just to help out that connection. But yeah, the

474
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 6: games that the Cardinals were successful this season, that the

475
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 6: the ratio between run and pass it was minimal, I

476
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 6: mean in terms of the disparity and and just so

477
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 6: just that balance is something that this team strives for.

478
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 6: The way this offense is constructed, with the multiple tight

479
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 6: end sets and the play action pass, it really lends

480
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 6: itself to having a balanced attack. And when the running

481
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 6: game is not there and things get kind of out

482
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 6: of whack in terms of the passing attempts, you see,

483
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 6: you can you can you can identify it. The Cardinals

484
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 6: don't win those games when when they're throwing the ball

485
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 6: over to thirty five times a game, they're just they're

486
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 6: just not winning those games.

487
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 7: And would we say that trying to defeat the shell coverage.

488
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 7: Too high safety look is still something that needs to

489
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 7: be worked on by Kyler and the offense, regardless of

490
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 7: whether it's Drew Patsy or Cliff Kingsbury. Cardinals has seen

491
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 7: a lot of that. That seems to be the default

492
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 7: setting by defensive coordinators against Kyler Murray.

493
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 6: Well, it does, but that's kind of a league wide thing, Paul.

494
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 6: It's it's not unique to Arizona Cardinals. Most teams want

495
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 6: to keep two safeties high if they can, if they

496
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 6: can with their guys up front, if they can hold

497
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 6: up against the running attack and leave those safeties back,

498
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 6: they're going to do it. And other teams have navigated

499
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 6: and figured out how to work out successfully the passing

500
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 6: game with that too high safety look. So Arizona Arnolds

501
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 6: are going to continuously work on that in theom season.

502
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, teams have had no issues allowing yards between the twenties.

503
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 5: It's when you get inside the red zone. That's when

504
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 5: everyone buckles down. And I think that's the next step

505
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 5: for this offense get better in.

506
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 4: The red zone.

507
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 5: They were four to four on Sunday against the forty

508
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 5: nine ers, but again going back since the bye week,

509
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 5: less than forty percent inside the twenty yard line as

510
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 5: far as scoring touchdowns, So that's the next step offensively, Yeah.

511
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 7: We know KVB wants that speed receiver to that burner

512
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 7: to really stretch the field.

513
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: As well as far as defense.

514
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 5: Well, how about we touch on that next here on

515
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals Radio.

516
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: Network shotgun snap. Dobbs quarterback draw no running room, so

517
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 2: he cuts it left. Dobbs is taken down of the

518
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 2: ball came out, it's loose and recovered by the Cardinals.

519
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: Jalen Thompson. Taylor Demerson fors the fumble. Jalen Thompson comes

520
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: up with.

521
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 10: It Dandrian Taylor Demerson once again, remember of the name.

522
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 10: That youngster right there has grown so much this year

523
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 10: and all he does is make plays.

524
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 5: I have to go back, but I believe that's the

525
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 5: first game with both Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson healthy

526
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 5: in which Taylor Demerson aka Rabbit played significant snaps in

527
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 5: a game. So they found a way, based off of

528
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 5: what Rabbit was doing earlier in the season, to find

529
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 5: ways to get a young player on the football field.

530
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 5: And that was the one thing Robber As we say,

531
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 5: welcome back here to Cardinals Red Seat Report, Greg Raya,

532
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 5: lupal KELVC and Rob Frederickson. We do each and every

533
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 5: Tuesday eleven am here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

534
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 5: When JG was asked about position groups or players in

535
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 5: which he had a high opinion of or liked some

536
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 5: kind of paraphrase in what he said, but he pointed

537
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 5: to the secondary, whether that was the cornerbacks or the safeties,

538
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 5: the back end of the defense and how well they

539
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 5: played and the development of that unit from week one

540
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 5: to week eighteen.

541
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you start off with boot A Baker, right,

542
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 6: I mean, just absolute awesome season for Buddha Baker individually,

543
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 6: and he just you know, he in terms of tackles

544
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 6: and just where he was on the field and just

545
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 6: his ability to to find the ball wherever. It is

546
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 6: just an unbelievable all all Pro season type season for

547
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 6: for Buddha Baker. But the youth of this secondary and

548
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 6: especially at the cornerback position was really impressive. And just

549
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 6: the way these guys played, you know, Garrett, Garrett Williams

550
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 6: and STARTLINGK Thomas, those guys really played well, you know,

551
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 6: And and Taylor Demerson a rabbit. You know, when you

552
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 6: look at rookies and their impact on this team, I

553
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 6: think you know, when he didn't get a ton of snaps,

554
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 6: he didn't get a ton of opportunities, but when he

555
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 6: was in there, you can you can just tell. You

556
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 6: can tell a football player and what he does and

557
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 6: his impact on the game. And and Rabbit has had

558
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 6: a a huge impact when he's had opportunities this season.

559
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, seek and destroy. I mean every time he's in there,

560
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 7: going back to the preseason. Now, did he make his

561
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 7: share of mental mistakes here and there? If you listen

562
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 7: to the coaches, if you listen to Rabbit, yeah, it's

563
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 7: a very different game. He said that multiple times. I

564
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 7: talked to him one on one couple weeks ago. He

565
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 7: basically said the same thing to the media to start

566
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 7: this week right cleaning out the lockers. It's so different

567
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 7: than the defense that he played at Texas Tech. So

568
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 7: many more responsibilities. But his grandfather told him, when you

569
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 7: show up as a rookie, you need to do a

570
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 7: lot more listening than talking. And he was smart enough

571
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 7: to sit in the front row right next to JT

572
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 7: and Buddha and just listen and try and absorb and

573
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 7: get the football IQ. So you saw his steady improvement

574
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 7: over the course of the year. But he does have

575
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 7: sort of that Buddha esque run into the darkness, no fear.

576
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 7: He will come up and he will hit you. And

577
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 7: it is amazing how plays on the field have followed him.

578
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 7: Just his intensity and his zeal for the game, and

579
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 7: he goes all out. And I can see why Mania

580
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 7: Sport targeted him in the fourth round because he is

581
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 7: very similar to JT and Buddhat and just in his

582
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 7: style of.

583
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 5: Play always seems to find a way to be around

584
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 5: the football, and that again goes to the work that

585
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 5: you do during the week as far as film study

586
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 5: and then getting ready for game day. So you have Rabbit,

587
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 5: you have another rookie in Max Melton, and then two

588
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 5: second year corners in Starling Thomas and Garrett Williams. Speaking

589
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 5: of Garrett what he saw from the defense here in

590
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four.

591
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 11: I think it's just everybody just trusting each other, you know.

592
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 11: I think just the coaches, you know, give us the

593
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 11: game plan and everybody just trusting that that guy's going

594
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 11: to be a hit spot. So it allows everybody just

595
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 11: to play their game and not try to be a superhero.

596
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 11: So when everybody just playing as one as a unit,

597
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 11: that's when things start to click a lot more.

598
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 5: You look at this defense robsonce week seven, top five

599
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 5: as far as scoring defense in the league, and if

600
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 5: you again very simple, keep the points down, you score

601
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 5: points going to win. And this is a defense that

602
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: didn't have, outside of Buddha, a major name attached to it.

603
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 5: It was a lot, as Garrett said, by committee shuffling

604
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 5: along the defensive line, outside linebacker, secondary. You saw a

605
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 5: lot of different players contribute this season, some by necessity

606
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 5: because of injuries, and others just because they played their

607
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 5: way out onto the football field. Yeah.

608
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 6: I think anytime you have a defense that's really good

609
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 6: in terms of scoring defense, they're going to be really

610
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 6: good in the red zone. And that's that's where things

611
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 6: tighten up. That's where those throwing lanes tighten up. And

612
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals defensively have done a good job of that.

613
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 10: You Know.

614
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 6: An interesting thing is when you look at the pressure

615
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 6: that's I think even leading into the season that was

616
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 6: a big question mark is where's the pressure going to

617
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 6: come from? Where are the sacks gonna where are the

618
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 6: sacks going to come from? The Airson Cardinals had the

619
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 6: most players with multiple sacks any team. I believe that,

620
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 6: you know, it's just a variety of players that you know. Now,

621
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 6: look it may have been two sacks or three sacks,

622
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 6: but you know, just the plethora of players that were

623
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 6: able to get pressure and had to I think Nick

624
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 6: Rowlands had to kind of scheme some things up, and

625
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 6: it was it was pressure by committee. And that's something

626
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 6: that obviously this offseason Arizona Cardinals are going to have

627
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 6: to address if they want to be more consistent defensively,

628
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 6: and that goes back to turnovers. You know, if you

629
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 6: want to create turnovers, you got to do it with pressure.

630
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 6: And to not have it consistently, to not have somebody

631
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 6: that you can just rely on to get that consistent pressure,

632
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 6: that makes things difficult.

633
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 7: Here's my question to you, because over the final eleven games,

634
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 7: the Cardinals allowed just under twenty points per game, and

635
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 7: when you go back to Week seven, only three teams

636
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 7: allowed fewer points per game. And even buddhas said recently, yeah,

637
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 7: earlier in the season, you know, we had some issues

638
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 7: fitting the run, We had issues affecting and getting to

639
00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 7: the quarterbacks cycling, yes, but in terms of freeing up

640
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 7: players to make plays and to ultimately affect the quarterback

641
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 7: and stop the run, which the Cardinals did a lot

642
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 7: better job in the last two and a half months

643
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 7: of the season. How much do you credit the defensive coordinator,

644
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 7: especially after you lose Justin Jones and Ball Nichols and

645
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 7: Dennis Gardak bgo Jalai. To what degree is Nick Rawlis

646
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 7: getting some sort of award for scheming it up, drawing

647
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 7: it up and figuring out a way to get his

648
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 7: players into position to make plays.

649
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 6: Well, he gets an enormous amount of credit. But you know,

650
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 6: some of those defensive linemen that you know, maybe weren't

651
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 6: getting their reps, weren't getting the snaps earlier in the season,

652
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 6: they showed up, you know, they they did. They Dante Stills,

653
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 6: you know, Roy Lopez, Nae J. Collier, Johns, these guys

654
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 6: you know that were kind of you know, after thoughts.

655
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 6: They came in and they played really well. But to

656
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 6: your point, Paul getting Buddha Baker closer to the line

657
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 6: of scrimmage, I think it was as big as anything

658
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 6: in terms of just the productivity of this defense is

659
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 6: something that he was playing deep middle a lot the

660
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,239
Speaker 6: last few years, and to get him up into the

661
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 6: action I think had a sizable impact in terms of

662
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 6: the effectiveness of the defense.

663
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 7: By the way, and the Cardinals Underground podcast this week,

664
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 7: Rob's gonna want to tune in because we're going to

665
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 7: unveil the final results of nearly a season long Galvisi

666
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 7: Consulting polypigskin It Team investigation. What exactly did they do

667
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 7: to unlock Buddha Baker for a career season number two

668
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 7: in the NFL and tackles man think about that. It's

669
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 7: all linebackers and Buddha Baker.

670
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 4: How why?

671
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 7: What did they do? We got a few tidbits and

672
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 7: the results of our investigation coming up this week.

673
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 5: If that isn't a tease, I don't know what is now.

674
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 5: The person that unlocked Buddha Baker Nick rolis Hey coach

675
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gennon on his defensive coordinator.

676
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 8: You know when I say we got a bunch of

677
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 8: guys in there that are going to be head coaches,

678
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 8: he's one of them. I know that just from a

679
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 8: development standpoint, from a schematic standpoint, about understanding the game,

680
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 8: about understanding defense, about understanding offense, and then he's ascended

681
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 8: extremely quickly. It's it's because he's talented. I'd say this,

682
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 8: I think I'm a hard worker. There's no one that

683
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 8: works harder than this guy, point blank. I mean he's

684
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 8: the hardest worker we got on our staff. And I'll

685
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 8: tell anyone.

686
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 5: That he looks talking about Nick Rolis at the first

687
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 5: what do he say, first eight games of the regular season,

688
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 5: he does that like now. I mean when the schedule

689
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 5: comes out. I mean he gets that far ahead in

690
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 5: his prep time as far as making sure he knows

691
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 5: everything about those individual teams for maybe the first half

692
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 5: of the upcoming season. So yeah, to JG's point, Yeah,

693
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 5: Nick Rollis works hard, works very hard. But does he

694
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 5: need some help? Does he need a player or to

695
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 5: kind of help the defense overall? Rob to take that

696
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 5: next step. It's already very good based off of maybe

697
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 5: more so the coaching than the talent on the f

698
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 5: But what's the next step?

699
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 4: Defensively?

700
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like what PAULI said earlier about building the

701
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 6: team from the ball out. I'm a big believer in that,

702
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 6: both offensively and defensively, So defensive tackles, defensive ends, edge rushers,

703
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 6: I mean I joke, but I say, if your hand's

704
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 6: not in the grass, I'm not drafting you. I mean,

705
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 6: and that goes offensively and defensively. This is going to

706
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 6: be a This is going to be a meat and

707
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 6: potatoes draft for me if I'm general manager. We can

708
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 6: get we can add some pieces here there of wide receivers,

709
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 6: some cornerbacks. We'll do that and we'll we'll sprinkle it

710
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 6: in free agency. But you know, I want to bring

711
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 6: in some ballers on the inside into your offensive line,

712
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 6: defensive line, edge rushers. It has to be addressed. It

713
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 6: has to be this team. If you want to build

714
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 6: a team around Kyler Murray, do it from the inside out.

715
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 7: And the low key big question I think this saw

716
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 7: season on the defensive side of the ball as well.

717
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 7: Is Kaiser White And what's his status? He just completed

718
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 7: a two year deal. He just put on his Instagram page,

719
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 7: thank you Arizona. What does that mean? We know he

720
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 7: is the quarterback of the defense. We know guys rave

721
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 7: about his ability to get the calls out instantly, make

722
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 7: all the checks and adjustments and just be so sound

723
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 7: in that regard. I mean, how often did you see

724
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 7: the Cardinals defense last two years out of position or scrambling.

725
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 7: You know, he saw a bit of that before the

726
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 7: arrival of Kaiser White. Calls getting out late guys, you know,

727
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 7: trying to make up ground to get in a position.

728
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 7: So that's an underrated part of his game. Not to mention,

729
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 7: he had over one hundred tackles this year and was

730
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 7: really reliable. And you know, for all the attention that

731
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 7: Fred Warner gets for example, and rightfully so, I guess

732
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 7: I have my disdain for the forty nine ers and

733
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 7: the division opponents. You know, for everything Fred Warner can do,

734
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 7: here's what we found out again in Week eighteen. He

735
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 7: can't cover Trey McBride. He just can't do it. And

736
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 7: even Trey McBride told us in the postgame radio show,

737
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 7: we got the look we wanted, we got the guy

738
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 7: in coverage we wanted, and we hit him for the

739
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 7: touchdown pass, which was very telling.

740
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, losing Kaiser White, potentially losing Kaiser White, and all

741
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you lose the extension of the defensive

742
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 5: coordinator out on that football field, and sometimes that's hard

743
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 5: to replace, at least initially. But again, as we said,

744
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 5: this roster is going to look different. Maybe completely different.

745
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty five, Garrett Williams on Monday on the

746
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 5: type of players that the Cardinals need to get over

747
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 5: the hump.

748
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 11: Guys who love ball, high character guys, but it's also

749
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 11: the thing of when his game time.

750
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 4: Guys who can turn it on as well.

751
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 11: And I think they've done a really good job of

752
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 11: bringing guys in like that, and only more people are

753
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 11: gonna come in. I think the goals of Super Bowl

754
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 11: and I think we're really building towards that.

755
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 5: Always goes back to team first. Will you put the

756
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 5: team ahead of yourself? And if you don't rob, then

757
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, well there might not be room

758
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 5: for you here.

759
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 4: With the Arizona Cardins, you.

760
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 6: Know, there may have been times where players are out

761
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 6: of position defensively, but it wasn't because they were individuals

762
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 6: and playing as individuals and trying to do something on

763
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 6: their own. I think it was more than anything. It was,

764
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 6: you know, just just technique, technique errors or you know,

765
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 6: the talent maybe wasn't there. But these guys are bought in.

766
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 6: This is team first, and they got the right kind

767
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 6: of guys. They have the chemistry, they have, the culture,

768
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 6: they got to work on the talent, and that's something

769
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 6: that they'll build on in the offseason.

770
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 5: They certainly do have the tied end. Paul brought him up.

771
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 5: We'll discuss more. Trey McBride his year three next on

772
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

773
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 2: First intent of the thirty one of San Francisco Bunch

774
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: set to the right Murray quick throw to the right side,

775
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 2: caught by McBride at the thirty and he goes up

776
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: into the air, hurdles a defender and just about the

777
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 2: nineteen front first down a game at twelve, he tried

778
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 2: to jump over Gi year round. It kind of karate

779
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: kicked him as he did.

780
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 10: Oh my goodness, daniels Son.

781
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 9: Grows strong.

782
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 10: Grasshopper went up into the air and I he used

783
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 10: the right leg. It's a bit of a knee.

784
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: Maybe he's been watching the new season of Copra Kai.

785
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: That's out right now. I mean, that's bound to happen

786
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: when you try to hurdle a guy, right. I mean

787
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: the defenders are they're not falling for it anymore. They're

788
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: kind of backing away. But I guess if you don't

789
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: get jumped, you get knead right in the mouth.

790
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 10: Oh my goodness, gross strong.

791
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 5: Grasshopper, either the Karate Kid or UFC whatever was Trey

792
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 5: McBride with the knee. There was also the uh carrying

793
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 5: of Fred Warner. I believe that was Trey McBride's first

794
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 5: catch on Sunday, where he had Warner on his back right, yes,

795
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 5: for a couple of yards and was not going right.

796
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 5: Fred Warner wasn't gonna be shaking off either. But that

797
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 5: was two interesting highlights for Trey McBride on Sunday.

798
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 7: You know, I went with kick Butt Kowski, which is

799
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 7: an old Disney cartoon from like twenty ten, twenty twelve

800
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 7: when my kids were young. Nobody got that. That was

801
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 7: that was an epic fail. Nobody got the kick butt

802
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 7: Kowski whatsoever. But you know, characters go around and just

803
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 7: you know, sort of kick his way to to be

804
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 7: in a superhero, you know it just anyway Craig gets

805
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 7: all yours.

806
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 6: I don't know where to go with that one.

807
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you're in an island on your own one.

808
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 7: No awareness of kick butt Kowski, now we talk about awareness.

809
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 7: The flying knee did catch the attention of everyone's favorite

810
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 7: good morning football host, Kyle Brandt, who made Trey McBride

811
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 7: well been a lot of accomplishments this season for Trey.

812
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 7: He added one more earlier on Tuesday.

813
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 3: He needs Trey McBride doing nasty things like he has

814
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 3: done all year long. Look out, look out, we have

815
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 3: lift off that is awesome?

816
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 10: Was that rooting?

817
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 3: Who's that? Or hey, muzzby doll, Oh my gosh, give

818
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 3: me a freeze framing McBride, who's not trying to jump

819
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 3: over the forty nine er, he's trying to jump through

820
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 3: them with physics freeze this thing. It looks as if

821
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 3: the tackler is trying to put him in the overhead bin.

822
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: But as you know, items tend to shift to during flight.

823
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 3: That is absolutely a look at his kneecaps all the

824
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: way up by his own ear. Trey McBride has done

825
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 3: awesome things this year. This is a player in the

826
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 3: last week of the season who knows he's not going

827
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 3: to the playoffs and still wants to smash, smash some Niners.

828
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: McBride had a season. He's gotten next. I love Trey McBride.

829
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 3: He makes the Niners his bride and this will look out.

830
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 4: Let's go to the.

831
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 3: Bridezilla, Trey McBride, the scepter you were born to wield

832
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 3: this thing. Trade mcpride, you are currently in the offseason.

833
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're in Tulu right now, God

834
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 3: bless you. If you are, We're gonna have to send

835
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 3: this to whatever tiki hut you're sitting over. You know what,

836
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 3: Tammie Pride's probably in the gym. He's probably getting gains,

837
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: he's probably lifted. What are you doing some declined press?

838
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: Trade you can add this to it. This is your

839
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: barn bell, this is your workout now. Trade McBride the

840
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 3: winner of agri Rons Week eighteen. Agri Ron Boom, Let's go.

841
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 5: Well deserved and well done. Kyle Brants the first career

842
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 5: scepter I believe for Trey McBride, and I think he's

843
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 5: now trailing James Connor by at least two or three

844
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 5: because Jac's got a couple of those. Kyle Brandt loves

845
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 5: the ars on a Cardinals box.

846
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 7: Well, you know what just dawned to me. I should

847
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 7: have asked Trey McBride after the game if he learned

848
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 7: that move from Sugar Shan O'Malley, Because Sugar Sean was

849
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 7: here earlier. I wonder if he taught him like a

850
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 7: kickboxing type move. Is that where all the hurdles came from.

851
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 7: I don't know where the hurdles came from. But nobody

852
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 7: does him better than Tray McBride. I mean, he gets

853
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 7: so high with knee. You're right, Kyle Brandt was right.

854
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 7: It was up by his own ear. It's unbelievable athleticism

855
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 7: from Trey McBride. You've seen it all season. I mean,

856
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 7: one hundred and eleven on the year. To me, you know,

857
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 7: Trey McBride just at a you know, MVP. Yeah, of

858
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 7: the team.

859
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 6: I think so at least he's in a conversation probably

860
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 6: probably three guys that you could you could make an

861
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 6: argument for, but uh, Trey McBride is right up there.

862
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 6: And you think about the the you talk about the

863
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 6: connection with Kyler Murray and Trey McBride seventy five percent

864
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 6: in terms of receptions to targets. That's that's that's a

865
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 6: good connection there. You juxtapose that with Marvin Harrison Junior

866
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 6: and it's like fifty three percent. So you know, there's

867
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 6: there's some things to work on there. But Trey McBride

868
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 6: has just had an unbelievable season. Interesting though the three

869
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 6: games is most productive games individually. The three games where

870
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 6: he's had double digit receptions all Cardinal losses, Wow, all

871
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 6: and all after the bye, and he had he had

872
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 6: twelve receptions in each of them. You know, so I

873
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 6: you know, make of that what you what you will,

874
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 6: But I think it's probably because the Cardinals were throwing

875
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 6: the ball so much. But yeah, when tre McBride has

876
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 6: double digit receptions this year, all three losses.

877
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 5: That's that's interesting and worth a deep dive this offseason

878
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 5: because you would think you want your number one playmaker

879
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 5: to be heavily involved, yet at the same time, maybe

880
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 5: you rely too much on one player. You need a

881
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 5: little bit more balance.

882
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 7: And considering the amount of defensive attention he gets, I

883
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 7: mean talking to him over the course of this year,

884
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 7: you know he lines up, he's feeling eyes on him

885
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 7: from all three levels of the defense. You know, they're

886
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 7: trying to chip him and chunk them. They're trying to

887
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 7: they're trying to you know, he got linebackers on him,

888
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 7: you got guys over the top. So you would think

889
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 7: that next year, more than ever, all the attention he's

890
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 7: going to get after a Pro Bowl campaign, it should

891
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 7: open up a lot more in the passing game for

892
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 7: other guys.

893
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 4: Love that Rob gave us.

894
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,040
