3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Come on, let's get back to the stadium for analysis

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: and exclusive interviews from the Cardinals locker room. Here's Dave pash,

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, and Paul Calvicy.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: Well and several of the Cardinals losses this season. The

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: offense just has not gotten it done. Only two hundred

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: and ninety eight yards of offense, three of twelve on

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: third down, forty nine rushing yards, and fourteen of those

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: came on a deMercado run at the end of the

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: half that really meant nothing in the second quarter. So

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: it's awfully hard when you scored just six points and

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: again the interception returned for a touchdown. When that's enough

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: to win the game and your offense isn't getting it done,

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: it's a tough one because your defense, despite all the injuries,

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: was not perfect, certainly not in that last eight minute

17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: drive by Seattle, but wolf ultimately they're playing about as

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: well as you could ask.

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: My goodness, there are two things I just am having

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: a hard time wrapping my arms around right now. Number One,

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 3: the fact that Seattle scored sixteen points and won this game.

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: Coming into this game, if you would have told me

23
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: that Seattle was only going to score sixteen points, I

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: would have almost guaranteed you the Arizona Cardinals were going

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: to win this game. I think the defense came out

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: here and really did an excellent job once again. Offensively,

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: the biggest disappointment was the how. It wasn't the what

28
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: that they only scored six points. It was how they

29
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: only scored six points. They could not run the ball

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: against a defensive front. Now, I know, this defensive front

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: for the Seattle Seahawks has actually played so much better

32
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: over the last couple of weeks. Stand that, Yet at

33
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: the same time, man, you could not run the ball

34
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: against this Seattle Seahawks defense. That is number twenty six

35
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 3: and rushing yards per game allowed and number twenty six

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: and rushing yards per play allowed. They're at the bottom third.

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: And it wasn't like they were jamming up the box.

38
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: They were not jamming up the box. Even when the

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals would jump into thirteen personnel, the Arizona Curdles

40
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: could not run the ball because of their offensive line

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: got whipped at the point of attack. And you know what,

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: I would challenge every member of the offensive line to

43
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: tell me that that wasn't the case, and I guarantee

44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: you they would say we got beat. We did not

45
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: do our job at the point of attack. That's why

46
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: everything broke down offensively for the Cardinals. That's the way

47
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: I see it, because they were not able to run

48
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: that ball.

49
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: Final score Seattle sixteen Cardinals six interviews and much more

50
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: you'll hear from coach Jonathan Gannon coming up on the

51
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals Radio network. Season low in points, six first downs, fifteen,

52
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: rushing yards forty nine and first time since Week four

53
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: against Washington, the Cardinals held under three hundred total net yards.

54
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: They finished with two ninety eight. So the Cardinals get

55
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: their first division loss. They're now two to one in

56
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: the division. They're six and five, tied with Seattle. They'll

57
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: play the Seahawks in two weeks. Cardinals are in Minnesota

58
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: next week. The Vikings are nine and two. You'd have

59
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: to think wolf at some point. Again. The Cardinals have

60
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: had great defensive efforts. That's a big reason why they've

61
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: won games. They've had some big first quarters offensively, which

62
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: have helped, but just not enough to day, and at

63
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: some point that pass game is going to have to

64
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: get unlocked. But when you can't run the ball, and

65
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: the Cardinals could not run the ball today, makes it

66
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: awfully hard for that to happen.

67
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, once again the offensive line as well, David.

68
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 3: It wasn't just not being able to run the ball,

69
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: but it was also breaking down in terms of protecting

70
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray as well. And you know, sometimes a quarterback

71
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: can get into a rhythm if you will, I'm going

72
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: to take my drop one, two, and if it's not

73
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: there the primary win, I'm going to start looking for

74
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: the secondary quickly and if that's not there, I'm gone.

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 3: And it never was a situation where Kyler Murray looked

76
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: comfortable in the pocket to me today, And I think

77
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 3: a lot of that has got to do with the

78
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 3: fact that they were not able to run the ball

79
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: and use the play action that we've seen in the

80
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: past effectively. Man, that is one of the I can't

81
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 3: get it out of my head, David. What a disappointment

82
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: it truly is that the Cardinals could not run the ball.

83
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: Actually in between the tackles, when we talk about cramming

84
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: it north, that opens up so much of the passing

85
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: game using that play action, and they were never able

86
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: to get that really going here today because they were

87
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: never able to actually run the ball in between the tackles.

88
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: With Jonah Williams back too, right, you expected now that

89
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: you're getting healthier on the offensive line, you know will Hernandez.

90
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Of course he's done for the year, but you thought

91
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: maybe you'd have a better performance from that group with

92
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 2: him back.

93
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it. And yet again, it was

94
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: not just the offense. It was also the defense out

95
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: there not being able to come up with the stop

96
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: when they needed to come up with a stop. But

97
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 3: it's hard to criticize them at all when you give

98
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: up sixteen points to the Seattle Seahawks. Look at the

99
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 3: Seahawks coming into this game. They were number fifteen as

100
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, right in the middle of the

101
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: league in points giving up twenty are allowed or score

102
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: twenty three point three, number fifteen in the league.

103
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: Ten points a lot by the defense. Because again, to

104
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: have the defensive touchdown.

105
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 4: Let's go to Paul all right, we have Michael Wilson

106
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: alongside of the Cardinals visiting locker room.

107
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 5: Just tell me about that game.

108
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 4: And how and where you think it turned today.

109
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 5: I know you're in the moment.

110
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: It's tough, your moment's removed from the field, But I mean, overall,

111
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 4: what sort of game?

112
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 5: How would you describe it?

113
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: Yeah?

114
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 6: I feel like our offense. I think the defense played

115
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 6: a tremendous game. I mean they only gave up outside

116
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 6: of the pick six, they gave up ten points.

117
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: Yep.

118
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 6: I really think that the game comes down to a

119
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 6: couple tight games like that. Difference makers are a couple

120
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 6: of plays here and there, and I think offensively, we

121
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 6: just didn't do a good enough job of converting on

122
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 6: that fourth down, and I feel like that's kind of

123
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 6: what changed it. Off the top of my head, that's

124
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 6: the play that I keep going back to, is that

125
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 6: just didn't do a good enough job executing offensively. I

126
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 6: mean the touchdown we got called back that was another

127
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 6: big play, but comes down to a bunch of the

128
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 6: little things. I don't think we did a good enough

129
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 6: job of executing on offense doing the little things right.

130
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 5: Did you see a variety of looks?

131
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald's known for disguising a lot of coverages.

132
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: He's being very multiple.

133
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Yeah, they're known to ROLLODECKX A lot of calls

134
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 6: at seems like at random times, got cover six, got

135
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 6: cover one, Cover three, Cover four, I mean pretty much

136
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 6: every coverage in the book we got thrown at us

137
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 6: this week, and at a variation of downs and distances,

138
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 6: which I think is difficult at times because you kind

139
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 6: of don't really know what you what you're gonna get,

140
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 6: except I think on third down there that was probably

141
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 6: their most consistently. They've played a lot of a lot

142
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 6: of man on third down. But yeah, they did a

143
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 6: good job of mixing up coverages and giving us different

144
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 6: looks to digest.

145
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: What does that mean for a receiver? I mean it

146
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: just you have to be obviously on the same page

147
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: with the quarterback and you have to read it exactly

148
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: the same way.

149
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 5: Correct.

150
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Yeah, I think it's at times it can be

151
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 6: it can present challenges because you might think you have

152
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 6: to beat man on display and then it turns into

153
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 6: zone or vice versa. You might think, okay, based off

154
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 6: the show of the defense, looks like I'm getting zone,

155
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 6: and then they it's man, and so the mindset kind

156
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 6: of changes a little bit. But like I said, we're

157
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 6: trained enough to be all different types of coverages from

158
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 6: every single position on the field, and we just as

159
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 6: it collectively wouldn't do enough job.

160
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: All right, So the last field goal drive by the

161
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: Cardinals in the fourth quarter, it's third and four at

162
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 4: the forty and the balls in the air, and I

163
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: literally from the sideline said, oh man, that's impossible, and

164
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 4: then you came down with it. So tell me about

165
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 4: that over the shoulder catch and at what point did

166
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 4: you even pick it up in the air.

167
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, that's one of those plays that probably was

168
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 6: the best catch in my career so far. And guys

169
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 6: that are in that position know it's actually a lot

170
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 6: harder because I'm literally looking vertical on the ground. But

171
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 6: I think it just comes down to trust with Kyler

172
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 6: and all you can ask for his receiver's opportunity. And

173
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 6: I was I was a little distraught about the fourth

174
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 6: down pick sick because I know, next time the ball

175
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 6: is coming by the way, I'm coming down with it.

176
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 6: I don't care what it looks like. And in that moment,

177
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 6: I just decided in my mind there's no way I'm

178
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 6: letting this football touch the ground and just trust my training.

179
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 6: That's why we catch a thousand balls a week on

180
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 6: the drugs just for opportunities like that. So just happy

181
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 6: the preparation is paying off.

182
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 4: And is there a moment where you actually lost the

183
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 4: ball in the air because you had to adjust right?

184
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 5: Absolutely?

185
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had.

186
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 6: I was running a corner route and I took it

187
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 6: high because a dB was playing on my back hit

188
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 6: and Kyler kind of laid the ball and floated it.

189
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 6: And originally I had to turn over on my other

190
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 6: shoulder because I thought it was gonna hit on my

191
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 6: on my on my inside shoulder.

192
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 5: That wasn't right.

193
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 6: I had to turn back again. But like I said,

194
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 6: a lot of times in games, is just trusting your training.

195
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 6: That's the reason why the week of preparation is so important,

196
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 6: because it gives you the confidence and the muscle memory.

197
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 6: When your brain shuts off, your body knows exactly what

198
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 6: to do.

199
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 4: So you get another shot at these guys in a

200
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 4: couple of weeks.

201
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 5: How much do you look forward to the rematch? Can't wait.

202
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 6: I'm not thinking too far ahead. We obviously out in

203
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 6: Minnesota next week. But they're a good football team and

204
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 6: they outplayed us today, so I know everyone in the

205
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 6: building is not going to let that happen.

206
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 5: Again in two weeks. Michael, thank you, thank you, Michael Wilson.

207
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 2: Guys, Yeah, that was just an amazing play. His back

208
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: at his head were bent back as he's trying to

209
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: see the ball looking up into the sky, and then

210
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: the thing just comes down and he adjusted to make

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: the catch. Unfortunate the Cardinals couldn't get into the end zone,

212
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: and obviously the eight minute drive by Seattle after that

213
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: really didn't matter because they just weren't going to have

214
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: a real possession at that point. But still, just an

215
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: incredible catch. Just not enough of those in this game.

216
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what it was? The say, hey kid,

217
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: it was Willie Mays. That's what it was. Catch right over.

218
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: I mean it's the hardest catch that a wide receiver

219
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: can actually make on a football field to be looking

220
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: for the ball, and it wasn't like he was looking

221
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: one over one shoulder or the other. He was looking

222
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: straight over his head for that ball to come down.

223
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: Incredible throw and an incredible catch by Michael Wilson, and

224
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: a disappointing outcome from that point forward.

225
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: Cardinals are now six and five, Seattle is six and five.

226
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: San Francisco lost now five and six, and the Rams

227
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: are about to play Philadelphia. Minnesota moves to nine and two.

228
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: They beat the Bears today in overtime, Sam Darnold three

229
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty yards and two touchdowns. It's been an

230
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: incredible story. They drafted a quarterback in the first round

231
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: last year. Donald just bounced around people won when he

232
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 2: was called upon that lot of people thought Minnesota is

233
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: going to be a four win team this year, and

234
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: here they are wolf one of the better teams in

235
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 2: the league.

236
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: You know, It's one of the things I love about competing,

237
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: and one of the things I love about the National

238
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: Football League is, well, David, just the fact that if listen,

239
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: if you're in the NFL, you're talented. You've got a

240
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: lot of talent. How many upsets did we actually see

241
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: today as well? They're out there, There's no doubt about it.

242
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: How many contested games we saw. They're out there. And

243
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: the reason being again is the fact that everyone in

244
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 3: the National Football League is capable the old any given Sunday.

245
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: It's been around for a long time, but it's been

246
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: around for a long time because it's truth any given Sunday.

247
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: Once again, it just blows my mind how competitive this

248
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: league is and it's not because of parody. It's such

249
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: a negative word for me, David. It's because there are

250
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 3: good football players on every team, and because of that,

251
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: they're able.

252
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: To compete defensively. I don't know again, how much more

253
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: you can ask for offensively. I'd be curious to see

254
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: what kind of adjustments what the Cardinals do offensively next

255
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: week on the road again against Minnesota, if they can

256
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: find a way to run the ball. It just wasn't

257
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 2: happening today. James Connor really never got going, never got

258
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: unlocked there, and for the longest time, their longest run

259
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: was that De Mercato fourteen yard run. Connor finished with

260
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: eight yards on seven carries.

261
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 3: Leonard Williams, That's what I think of right there. Leonard

262
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: Williams had himself a day. He destroyed, single handedly destroyed

263
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals' ability to run the football today, and

264
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: that was really really disappointing. Once again, this is a

265
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 3: strength for the Arizona Cardinals to be able to line

266
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: up in twelve personnel, line up in thirteen personnel and

267
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: run the ball and do it in a very cram

268
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: ad vertical kind of way. That is who they are,

269
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: and to come out here and get shut down the

270
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 3: way that they did at the point of attack, getting whipped.

271
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 3: We just haven't seen a lot of that. We have not,

272
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: and I'd be very curious to hear the offensive line

273
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: talk about that and be accountable as to why they

274
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: were not able to actually do what they have been

275
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: doing all season long. You know a lot of things too, David,

276
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: whom who knows maybe it's coming off the by I

277
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: did not expect this team to have a down game

278
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: coming off the bye. And you know what, I think,

279
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to go home and take a look

280
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: at this on tape and watch it, because once again,

281
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: the defense came out here and competed. Yeah, they only

282
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: gave up ten points. But if you told me, David,

283
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 3: that they gave up sixteen points to the Seattle Seahawks,

284
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: I would have said, the Arizona Cardinals win this game

285
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: hands down, without even blinking an eye. And yet the

286
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: defense only did give up ten points and the Cardinals

287
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: still lost offensively. It was all because they couldn't run

288
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: the ball.

289
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: Two and a half sacks for Leonard Williams. He got

290
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: a game ball for good reason. The ten year pro

291
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: out of USC and that Seattle defensive line they along

292
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: Obviously Leonard Williams was the centerpiece, but that d line

293
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: was awesome today. Gave the Cardinals fits. It was hard

294
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: to protect Kyler Murray. It's hard to run the ball.

295
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: And again I think that just with Jonah Williams back,

296
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: maybe it took some time for that group to gel again.

297
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: They weren't sure if he was going to play. It's

298
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: his first game back coming off the buy. Maybe that's

299
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: what it was. But again, the Cardinals will get back

300
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: to work and they'll go home tonight and get ready

301
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: for Minnesota next weekend before Seattle comes calling, and then

302
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: they'll play the Patriots. They have an interesting stretch where

303
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: they have two games against teams with bad records, New

304
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: England and Carolina, although Caroline is playing much better, and

305
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: then wrap up the season with the Rams and the Niners.

306
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: All right, JG is ready, here's Paul.

307
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 4: All right, the head coach, Johnny and the Gannon coach. We

308
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: just talked to Michael Wilson. He praised the defense, say collectively,

309
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: as an offense, we just didn't do enough.

310
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 5: What do you start in assessing the O?

311
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know, we gotta we gotta protect

312
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 7: the football. I thought that was a big play, you know,

313
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 7: on the pick six there, and then we just gotta look,

314
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 7: we got to take a good hard look. I thought,

315
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 7: you know, give credit to those guys, they played extremely well.

316
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 7: I thought Leonard kind of wrecked the game a little

317
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 7: bit in the running pass game. But we got to

318
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 7: have just answers everywhere, you know, first and second down,

319
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 7: run game, pass game. We got to protect a little

320
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 7: bit better, we got to get open quicker. We just

321
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 7: got to collectively play a little bit better.

322
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 5: But we will. What'd you think of the old line overall?

323
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 4: Was it that interior, you know, pressure and penetration that

324
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 4: was the most problematic. What'd you think of the old line?

325
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

326
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 7: I thought that, you know, they started the game pressure

327
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 7: and a bunch and then they calm that down, and

328
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 7: I just feel like, you know, it seemed like he

329
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 7: was a little Kyler was a little under duress for

330
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 7: a lot of that game. So we got to take

331
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 7: a look at it and make sure we're protecting better.

332
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 7: Buds just told the media it's not just the old line,

333
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 7: it's the backs, it's the tight ends, it's the receivers,

334
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 7: you know, getting open at the right appropriate amount of time.

335
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 7: So collectively, we got to play better in the past game.

336
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald's known for, you know, a variety of looks

337
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: and disguising a lot of stuff.

338
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 5: Did did you get a little bit of everything today? Yeah?

339
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 5: We did. We did.

340
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 7: They do a really good job. I mean, he's he's

341
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 7: a head coach for a reason. You know, he's a

342
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 7: he's a really good defensive mind. I thought he mixed

343
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 7: in some different looks, some different packages. Like I said,

344
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 7: give credit to them. They played better than us today

345
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 7: and we'll learn from it and be a better football

346
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 7: team when we play next.

347
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 4: Ended up being a season lowe rushing yards. How does

348
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 4: that trickle down? And does that you know, impact Kyler

349
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 4: as well when you're not balanced.

350
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you know that.

351
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 7: I would say, like the fourth quarter kind of was

352
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 7: a little bit of a different game because where the

353
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 7: score was at. But I think when you don't get

354
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 7: the run game quite going like we wanted two or

355
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 7: what we have been doing, you know, we're in some

356
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 7: longer third downs, which makes it hard when it's loud

357
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 7: and you're on the road and versus a really good

358
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 7: third down defense. So we'll get back into lap.

359
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 4: You know, Michael also said, and you mentioned a little

360
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 4: bit too, it's just one of those games that seems

361
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 4: to come down to two, three or four big plays.

362
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 4: Obviously the pick six on the pick six, was that

363
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 4: just an overthrow basically college.

364
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think he's just missed them. I liked the decision.

365
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 7: I think he just kind of missed them there. But

366
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 7: you know, again, give them credit because they the one

367
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 7: kid played with his responsibility and that's kind of a

368
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 7: run pass option there.

369
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 5: But it was good play by.

370
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 4: Them late first half, the Jackson Smith and Jigma the

371
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 4: quick wide receiver screen middle screen that went for forty

372
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 4: six yards. In a lot of those situations, you were

373
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 4: bringing pressure and dialing things up right in those key

374
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: passing downs.

375
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're a good screen team. I mean, they caught

376
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 7: us in a zero there. That's it's my fault on

377
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 7: second and long. But yeah, I think, like you know,

378
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 7: we did a good job pressure in a quarterback. They're

379
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 7: a huge screen team. I thought we made some plays

380
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 7: on some screens. They made some plays too. They made

381
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 7: some Hey, that one obviously hurt because it gave up

382
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 7: points there at the end of the half. But you know,

383
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 7: I think, you know, just as a whole. I thought

384
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 7: we put good pressure on Gino. We got to make

385
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 7: sure we're doing a good job with four man rushing

386
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 7: coverage because I thought some of his plays that he extended.

387
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 7: They converted some third downs where he had a little

388
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 7: bit of time and they extended to play. So hats

389
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 7: off to him. He's a really good player. He can

390
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 7: do that. But we just collectively got to play better

391
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 7: there in those situations.

392
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 4: And obviously they only got sixteen points in the game,

393
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 4: but that final drive, the final field goal drive went

394
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 4: more than eight minutes.

395
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 5: What made it tough to get off the field.

396
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought the run game, we got a little

397
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 7: bit leaky in the run game, and they converted some

398
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 7: third downs, and one third down I think was an

399
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 7: explosive So that hurt. But you know, like I said,

400
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 7: hats off to them and we'll learn from it.

401
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 4: Did you get an explanation on the challenge that failed

402
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: on the Marvin Harrison junior touchdown?

403
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 5: It was in a touchdown? Okay, all right?

404
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: In terms of the rematch here in a couple of weeks,

405
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 4: I'll how much do you look forward to that one?

406
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 5: To anticipate that I won't look forward to that at all.

407
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 7: We're going to look forward to tomorrow and getting better tomorrow,

408
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 7: and we got a really good football team going to

409
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 7: probably a harder place to play in my opinion, to Minnesota,

410
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 7: or it's a really good football team again, so we

411
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 7: won't look forward to Seattle at all. We're going to

412
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 7: put all our energy and focus in tomorrow getting better

413
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 7: and start knocking down to day and make sure we're

414
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 7: winning each day here coming up versus going towards heading

415
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 7: towards Minnesota.

416
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 4: In any particular takeaway you left the team with, if

417
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 4: we can ask just.

418
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 7: Just that urgency and energy to get better from this

419
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 7: tape because we didn't play our a game that that happens,

420
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 7: but we got to make sure it doesn't happen again.

421
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 7: So we got to learn from the tape and get

422
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 7: back to it and then get out of Minnesota.

423
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks for the time, guy, guys, thank you. There

424
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 4: we go, Jonathan Ginna.

425
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: And you heard coach say you're playing the team of

426
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: the second best record of the NFC this week, Minnesota

427
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: nine and two and again a great story with Sam Darnold.

428
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: It's a really good team, very well coached, and the

429
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: Cardinals will look to bounce back. He mentioned the pick

430
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: six and he mentioned mentioned Leonard Williams wrecking the game.

431
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: I mean, those are the that's it in a game

432
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: like this. Those were really the differences totally.

433
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 3: And you know, once again, it's good to see that

434
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 3: the three technique is alive and well in the National

435
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 3: Football League, being able to ruin rushing attacks because you

436
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: cannot block an interior defensive lineman. That is something that's

437
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: been around the NFL for a long long time right there.

438
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: Unfortunately that happened to the years of the Cardinals here today.

439
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: Their interior offensive line really struggled to block Leonard Williams.

440
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: And that guy has a ton of talent, is one

441
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: of the best three techniques in the league when he's

442
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 3: healthy and when he's right, and he proved that here.

443
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 5: Today, all right.

444
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: Our executive producer is jim O Mahundro, our associate producer

Speaker 2: Creative and Brands Or Melendez, Craig grieluku Vandenbosch coming up

448
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: with Cardinal talk after a sixteen to six defeat at

449
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 2: the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, and there's a tie

450
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: for first. Seattle technically as the spot, the number one

451
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: spot because they have the tiebreaker right now in the

452
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: head to head with the Cardinals, but six games to go,

453
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: three more in the division, but one of the better

454
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: teams in all of football up next on the Cardinals schedule,

455
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: maybe better than all the teams the Cardinals will play

456
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: after that, the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona gonna have to

457
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: find a way to get more offensive. It's going to

458
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: win that game. Ron Wolfley Dave Pash saying so long

459
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: from Lumenfield on the Cardinals Radio Network
