00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang. On today's show, Cliff Kingsberry Ware's shorts.

00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: I know it's a look we have not seen before,

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: but we have the picture to prove it. More on

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: what's happening at the annual League meeting in Florida. First though,

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: there is a new right guard and maybe a new

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: starting right guard. Welcome Will Hernandez. It's Cardinals cover two,

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: Episode five forty eight, and it starts now. Welcome to

Speaker 1: dot Com, Slash Podcasts. Going for Hopkins one hand to

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: Catchet a touchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's Craig Griolu and Mike Jarecki. Well,

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: we got a new name added to the roster. Everyone

14
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: likes those, as you like to say, MJ. Shiny new toys.

15
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have a new toy. It's a big toy. Fact.

16
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: Six foot three, three hundred thirty two pounds. Will Hernandez

17
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, specifically guard and the Cardinals do have a

18
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: need at that position, but that signing made official on Monday,

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: So welcome Will Hernandez the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, I remember

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: when he was coming out. He was a high second

21
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: round pick, matter of fact, thirty fourth overall. He spent

22
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: the last four years with the Giants. He was at

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: U Tap and obviously you know you look at you

24
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: tap and Sean Coogler, the Cardinals offensive running game coordinator

25
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: and offensive line coach, was the head coach there, So

26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: there's a relationship that matters. You know. I think he'd

27
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: be the first attean. Maybe he needs to play a

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: little bit better than the previous year, but you look

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: at a guy he's played in sixty two games, fifteen starts.

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: He started all seventeen games a year ago at right guard,

31
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: and he gives you, obviously a chance to start. Now

32
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: we know at the end of the day, Sean Kugler

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: is going to start the best five players. There's a

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: big difference between Hernandez and Josh Jacobs. Hernandez is more

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: like he looks like a revenge Jones Josh Schoen, Sorry, yeah,

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: Josh Jones. He looks like a refrigerator, where Josh Jones

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: is more athletic, and we know he's gone through his

38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: struggles and then justin Murray, so you know, you all

39
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: whos want to have depth, and I think they're looking

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: to go too deep there. But I think it's a

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: good signing. You know how I feel about twenty six,

42
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: twenty seven year old guys, and he's gonna be twenty

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: seven when the seasons start. Normally these guys don't reach

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: free agency. Obviously, when you're bringing a new general manager,

45
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: a new head coach with the New York Giants, they

46
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: want to maybe change the roster, get some more different

47
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: players in there. So really it was a good sign

48
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals. And I do like the age, and

49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: I like the fact that working with Kugler, he does

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: have a relationship with a couple of players on the team.

51
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: The only guy he doesn't know his DJ Humphrey. So

52
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: the fact that they got him at this point and

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: free agency, it's a really good signing. By the way,

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: speaking of hump by the time Bird Gang, you have

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: a chance to listen to this edition of Cardinals covered

56
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: to presented by Honday, probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals.

57
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a stab a wild guess that

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: those two will have connected via text, brief phone call,

59
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: because if there's anyone in that offensive line room that

60
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: is easy to connect with and get to know, it's

61
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: DJ Humphreys. There's no doubt about it. And that's what

62
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: you do when another player comes in because it's really

63
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: a fraternity at the end of the day, in the

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: off season, they're all in the same fraternity being an

65
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: offensive line And you know, Hernandez is flying out on

66
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: a Monday afternoon, he's head it back to Dallas. He's

67
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: working out with an offensive line coaches, our offensive line technician.

68
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: So he made a comment to Rolando Canto that he's

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: already missed one day and the guy who says, you

70
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: better be back here tomorrow. So that's good news because

71
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to come into offseason workouts with a

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: new team out of shape. And I'm not saying he's

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: gonna be out of shape. So I really think it

74
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: settles things down. You know, you got you got you

75
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: got your veterans there guys that are at thirty plus

76
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: and then you've got a couple of young guys in

77
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: hump and hopefully when you look at Hernandez, a couple

78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: of different angles here, and we keep bringing up Sean Kugler,

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: and I want to start there because it was Coogs

80
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: who coached Hernandez at uteph And while they were together.

81
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: In fact, Hernandez was a second team AP All American

82
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: about twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen with Kugler as the

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: head coach. Now they're reunited, and that does mean something

84
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: because now for the second time in what three seasons

85
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: four seasons, we've heard an offensive linement specifically mentioned. I'm

86
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: here in large part because of Sean Coogler, not because

87
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: of the head coach, not because of the general manager,

88
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: not because of the location. Yeah, maybe money as a factor,

89
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: but because of who I get to work with on

90
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: a daily basis once the season begins. About Sean Kugler quote,

91
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: I feel like he's one of the main reasons why

92
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: even made it in the NFL in the first place.

93
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Me and him have a very strong connection, very good relationship.

94
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: That was well her Nandez earlier on Monday. We always

95
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: talk about relationships and when a player becomes available in

96
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: free agency or going back to the draft, is there

97
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: a connection did they cross pass before meeting up here

98
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals. And you could just tell listening

99
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: to Hernandez just how much of an influence and an

100
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: impact Sean Kugler has made on his not only career,

101
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: but probably even bigger than that, his life. Well, that

102
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: was one of the first questions just about his relationship,

103
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: and he basically was quite Frankie said, I wouldn't be

104
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: in the NFL without him, And there's a trust factor.

105
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Now you don't want to let him down. So he

106
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: comes in here, and you know, I like the fact

107
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: that you know, it wasn't like they signed a guy

108
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: that only has five starts and you look at his upside.

109
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: This guy was a high pick and everyone's going to

110
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: go look at Pro Football Focus. Again, it's a tool.

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: It's not the Bible. But I can't tell you he

112
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: went through forwarded front offensive line coaches. They fired an

113
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and Jason Garrett during the season, Daniel Jones,

114
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: he was running for his life half the time. Se

115
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley he was playing on one leg and a kickstand.

116
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, so there are factors, and you know the

117
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: fact that he can play both guard spots is and

118
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: appealing to me. Now it is a one year deal.

119
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: It's probably one year proved deal, and he knows what's

120
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: at stake and he said, if I play well, I'm

121
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna be here. In other words, you would look at

122
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: the guy twenty six. He obviouslyees from Vegas, so you

123
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: know he's a West Coast guy. So there's a lot

124
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: of the fact that he was able to pick where

125
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: he wanted to go, and it makes sense based on

126
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: the relationship. This is a win win for both parties. Now,

127
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: all that being said, we've been here before. Craig Brian

128
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Winters last year, good signing. He played with Calvin Beach

129
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: and with the Jets fifty five starts and then you know,

130
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: obviously he decided he was going to step away from football.

131
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: So I don't want to temper it because to me,

132
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: this guy could be a starter, but we need to

133
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: see it during the season. Looks great on paper right

134
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: now and that's all we can judge it on. But

135
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: you look back at last season and right guard was

136
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: a revolving door. Josh Jones nine stars, Max Garcia seven stars.

137
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: Justin Murray started one game Week three and then went

138
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: down with a back injury. You look at those three names,

139
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: Max Garcia, by the way, according reports, is maybe for

140
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: all intents and purposes, replacing Hernandez because Garcia is now

141
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: a New York Giants and her Nandez going back four

142
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: years ago his first time with the Giants, replaced Justin Pugh.

143
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: So now Hernandez and pure teammates here in Arizona. But

144
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: just try to get some continuity along that offensive line

145
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: with DJ Humphries, Justin Pugh, Rodney Hudson, Will Hernandez, and

146
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: Kelvin Beacham. If you can have those five guys and

147
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: the sum total being greater than the individual parts individual pieces,

148
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: and have some continuities, you're not having different offensive line

149
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: combinations like this team was going through a year ago,

150
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: specifically at right guard. He's got to win the job.

151
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Talking about Will Hernandez, but I do like the fact

152
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: that he has experience at right guard and recently at

153
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: right guard, starting all seventeen games last season. Yeah, well said,

154
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: that's a that's a valid point. Now, this is no

155
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: disrespect to Max Garcia, because you know he kind of

156
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: bailed his team out. Initially, he was going to be

157
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: a backup. He's never played center before. Out of necessity

158
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: he played center. I give us a lot of credits

159
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: to Seanna Harlowe. But there were times when you know

160
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: Max was playing right guard and he was just getting beat.

161
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: And again, you're going against Aaron Donald and you play

162
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: in the NFC West, You're going against these really good

163
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: front sevens, and so no disrespect. But Will Hernandez is

164
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: an upgrade over Max Garcia body wise and age wise.

165
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: And again credit to Max Urc. He's carved in a

166
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: nice career for him, a great guy in the locker room.

167
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: He's battle injuries. So hopefully he gets an opportunity to

168
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: play with the Giants younger than Garcia. Hernandez twenty six

169
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: will be twenty seven when the season begins. And then

170
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: there's just a size sixty three, three hundred thirty two pounds.

171
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean this, he is massive. Had a chance to

172
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: meet him earlier, and you shake hands with the man

173
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: and his hand just envelopes your right hand, and you know,

174
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: nice guy, and it certainly sounds like he has one

175
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: of those switches, like you know, very respectful, well mannered

176
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: polites off the field, and then when the game kicks off,

177
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: it's like a different mentality and I'm ready to go

178
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: to work and I don't care who you are lining

179
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: up against me, I am going to beat you. And

180
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: that is just the mentality that you have to have

181
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: that winning those one on one battles man, you're on

182
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: point today. That's a good observation because I just talked

183
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: to A Scott before I came down here. He told

184
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: me he has violent hands. Violent hands. Well, they were

185
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: soft when he shook my hand, but you don't want

186
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: to be but their meat hooks, Yes they are. He

187
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: does have short arms, and that's okay. Playing inside. You

188
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: want to have thirty three inch arms when you're playing

189
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: on the outside because as a left tackle, you can

190
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: get in your in your pro set and you can

191
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: utilize it inside. Sometimes small or shorter hands are better

192
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: or you don't let the guy get inside of you.

193
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: But I think if you had a project, I would

194
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: think he's probably more of a run blocker. He's a maler.

195
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: He's got the size to maul you and you run

196
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: behind him, and then eventually he's gonna have to figure

197
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: out Kyler Murray. And he was excited to say playing

198
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray. But we know it takes a little

199
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: bit of adjustment. Even for Rodney Hudson D Hump or

200
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: humphreeze because you just don't know he's gonna take off.

201
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: You got to you gotta hold your set or if

202
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: it's pass prol you gotta make sure you protect so

203
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, that that's exact. He's got violent hands. By

204
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: the way, I tell a Q Shipley about short arms,

205
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: that was to knock on Aq. They'd always try to

206
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: bring in something, you know what. He wanted him out

207
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: and he just kept winning. He was an under overachiever.

208
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: He looked like a bowling ball and he didn't take

209
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: crap from anybody. He was very determined and he would

210
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: go after Aaron Donald. He may have lost, but I

211
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: guarantee Aaron Donald after that game said, you know what,

212
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: you gave me a fight, even though you may not

213
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: won five out of ten times. And you keep bringing

214
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: up Pro Football Focus and I know there's a love

215
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: hate relationship with offensive lineman and it might be more

216
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: hate when you talk about that with Justin Pugh in

217
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: the locker room, but yeah, it's all his His Pro

218
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: Football Focus grade was not great last season. Now, I

219
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: just gave a lot of different reasons why you're transpired. Yeah,

220
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: and then you're like, okay, well, what as you're watching

221
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: the game. You don't know what the individual assignment is

222
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: you pection exactly, so it's very it's very difficult to

223
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: kind of know all of a sudden grade good player,

224
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: bad player. Listen, analytics a big part of the game.

225
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to sit here and just throw dirt

226
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: on pro foot. They listen. They always told they watch

227
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: film diligently. The problem is that they know what they're

228
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: watching and they should hire former head coaches or coordinators.

229
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: And they tried and gun. Their cutting had passed away.

230
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: Bruce Katkowski was there. He's a quarterback. You take a

231
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: former defensive coordinack Wade Phillips and put him in there.

232
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: He knows how to watch film. But again, it's a tool.

233
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: All thirty two teams use it and they cross track

234
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: the coaches film with their films. It's not the Bible, though,

235
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: It's a tool. Guy like that term tool. It's much

236
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: like when you're talking about the NFL draft and how

237
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: much information can you get. It is the combine. It

238
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: is your pro day, but the biggest tool is your

239
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: game film. What you did on Saturday or Friday or

240
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: Thursday night on the college ranks. So all parts of

241
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how you can best utilize Will

242
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: Hernandez within this offense. And as large as he is,

243
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: I do think he's fairly movable as far as athleticism,

244
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: and he understands with Kyler Murray back there, you're gonna

245
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: have to be a little bit more mobile than you

246
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: were last season with Daniel Jones or even Colton McCoy.

247
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: And that's another thing the connection. Twenty Hernandez and Colt

248
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: McCoy teammates had another teammate, Marcus Golden. They spent a

249
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: season and a half together with the Giants. So here's

250
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: someone that is new to the team, but he already

251
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: knows when he walks into the locker room there will

252
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: be familiar faces looking back at him. So where it's

253
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: not the transition is going to be overwhelming. He's gonna

254
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: know one what is expected and two and he's actually

255
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: bring up from Las Vegas. He mentioned during his Zoom

256
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: press conference he visited Phoenix quite a bit, had family

257
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: growing up that lived in Arizona, Sea, is familiar with

258
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: the roundings. So I don't think the transition is going

259
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: to be a big deal whatsoever. No, and and the

260
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: fact that he wanted to be here. Now. He did

261
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: say that, you know, the Giants sounded like with a

262
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: new regime, new head coach and a new general manager,

263
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: they really probably didn't kick the tires and they got

264
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: they had the same scouts and ability, and they say, listen,

265
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. His rookue contract expired. But

266
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: he did say if possibly, if if they would have offered,

267
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: he would have considered it. But it worked out this way.

268
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: And sometimes you know, I would say the grass isn't

269
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: a greener, but here there's a relationship and he could

270
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: win the starting job, and I think that's the plan,

271
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: but he's got to earn it first. All right, let's

272
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: touch on that because right now, I think the offensive

273
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: line and you're starting five is sets. And if you

274
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: want some question marks, that's fine, because you maybe put

275
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: a question market right guard. And I know there's some

276
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: thought process that Josh Jones. Is he a guard? Is

277
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: he a tackle? If you move him to tackle? Can

278
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: he beat out Kelvin Beacham this upcoming season that is

279
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say the wild card, but what this team

280
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: decides to do with Josh Jones, former third round pick,

281
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: this is a huge offseason and a huge season ahead

282
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: for one Josh Jones. Cliff Kingsbury at the end of

283
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: the season asked about Jones, quote, we need him next

284
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: year to really step up end quote question is though

285
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: at what position? Can he be? Starting guard? Can he

286
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: be starting tackle? You got to figure it out sooner

287
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: rather than later, because there might be another offensive lineman

288
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: drafted or several offensive lineman drafted and the next month

289
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: or so, well, he's not going to beat Calvin Beachham out.

290
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: I think Beacham was one of their better offensive lineman

291
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: last year. And going back to Pro Football focus came

292
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: the Rodney Hudson. There were some low snaps. He's playing

293
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: with broken ribs, but look at how many pressures he

294
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: gave up. And he doesn't have the greatest grade, but

295
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: look at the pressures he gave There was the U

296
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: in the pocket. Unfortunately towards the end, when you're shuffling

297
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: the line nine different times, there's going to be pressure

298
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: and they're coming up the middle and they're coming off

299
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: the edge. So yeah, to me, I would have him

300
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: compete at right guard with Hernandez and then if he

301
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: doesn't win the job, then you have you know the

302
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: address eight on game day, he could play right guard,

303
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: he could play right tackle. But the Cardinals also if

304
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: if they want to bring Justin Murray back, he could

305
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: play four different positions. We don't talk about Josh Mouse.

306
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean last year beat him got a chance to

307
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: start when Hump was out in the Cowboys game and

308
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: he held the Marcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory shut him out.

309
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean, so Justin Murray's kind of well. But I

310
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: would think when camps, when it really when they put

311
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: the pads on, you're gonna see Hernandez line up. But

312
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: they could alternate, rotate, and then Josh Jones should get

313
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: a ton of time in the preseason, a ton of

314
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: time at both positions, or you just early on that decision.

315
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: All right, we don't see him as a guard, he's

316
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: a tackle. No, I would if he's well, something happens

317
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: to Hernandez, he's the first guy in then unless Justin Murray.

318
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna play him at guard in

319
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: the first half and then in the second half if

320
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: Josh Miles as backup left tackle, and I'm gonna play

321
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: him at right tackle, just to get him experience because

322
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: once the season starts you're one play away. You also

323
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: have Danny Azidora and Kulda Martin on the roster as

324
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: far as guard play now tackles, Josh Miles, the seventh

325
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: round pick in twenty nineteen, and then Justin Murray who

326
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: played some right tackle for the Cardinals in twenty nineteen

327
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: as well, and Josh Jones. So you do have enough bodies,

328
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: just just a matter of trying to figure out all right,

329
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: well future wise after this season, and we don't like

330
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: to look too far ahead, but as we talk about,

331
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: the only offensive lineman that is under contract past this

332
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: season is Rodney Hudson. So you're gonna have a hole

333
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: at left tackle, gonna have a little hole at right tackle,

334
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: and potentially a hole at left guard and right guard

335
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: this time a year from now. And you know just

336
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: and so that's why I bring up Josh Jones. You

337
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: have to figure out what you have, otherwise you need

338
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: to cut bait and go in another different direction. I

339
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: would think they would try to extend Humphries. He's the

340
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: perfect age. We knew this was going to happen. He's

341
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: got to play better. He didn't play as well as

342
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: he had in previous years, and you needed to have

343
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: COVID and you know, obviously he didn't have his right

344
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: hand man and Justin Pugh out there every week, so

345
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: that that's in a factor because now you're trying to

346
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: cover for someone. This could be Justin Pugh's last year,

347
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: just based on his contract and possibly you know, just

348
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: getting up there in age. I think he would still

349
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: like to play and finish his career in Arizona. I

350
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: don't know for sure. I think if Hernandez plays well,

351
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: he's definitely a guy you would like to extend. I

352
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna try to go out there and

353
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, break the bank. And Calvin Beecham, he's got

354
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot going on off the field. He's still playing

355
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: at a high level. I would try to retain him.

356
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: But again, when you look at twenty three, people are

357
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: and say, well, if you've got a draft a guy

358
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: at twenty three better play, right, Well, there's a lot

359
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: of good offering tackles, so you'd be set up if

360
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Beecham decides to retire. But I think you can get

361
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: a tackle. It's so deep at offensive tackle. I think

362
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: you can a tackle on a third or fourth round.

363
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: But you're right, you gotta start planning for the future.

364
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: It's interesting you bring up offensive lineman, offensive guard, or

365
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: even offensive tackle at number twenty three because you know,

366
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: when you look at this year versus years down the road,

367
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: this is the last year we think of that quote

368
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: unquote cheap contract salary for Kyler Murray to where now

369
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: is the time if you want to really make some

370
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: moves as you get closer to free excuse me, closer

371
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: to training camp, or something should happen in your need

372
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: to acquire somebody during the season, you can fit them

373
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: under the salary cap. Because Kyler Murray's not making what

374
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: we anticipate him to be making in a year or

375
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: two from now. So that first round pick play Week one,

376
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: wide receiver, cornerback, pass rusher, pass rusher, or is it

377
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: someone drops to you and you've got an offensive guard

378
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: or an offensive tackle that you're like, our grades are

379
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: so high, we need to take him. And if it

380
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: means that we've got DJ Humphries all over again to

381
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: where we don't see him on the football field at

382
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: all in twenty twenty two, it's gonna be a pr

383
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: hit and you're gonna take some slings and arrows. But

384
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: the hope is that that person becomes your starter for

385
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: the next seven eight years after this season. Now, that's

386
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: that's what they talk about now and will up until

387
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: draft day, and those as Bron Whippley likes to say,

388
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: the long rectangle table. Again, though they've drafted two guys

389
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: in the first round over the last couple of years,

390
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: you got to hit on these guys. So again, I

391
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: think you can find Lyneman in the second, third, or

392
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: fourth round. I think if you don't get a number

393
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: two receiver, and even if they sign ag green receivers

394
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: on the board, there could be eight receivers off the board.

395
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: Cornerbacks there could be six or seven. I guess when

396
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: you look at the wide receivers, edge rushers. So again,

397
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: I understand, but I this guy better be like Jonathan Ogden,

398
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna get him at twenty three. But

399
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: there are really Now, I like the green guy from

400
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. I mean, he would be the

401
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: perfect fit. But I just think by signing Hernandez, it

402
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: gives you a little flexibility. I still want the Cardinals

403
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: to draft someone, but I don't know if I want

404
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: that to be alignment in the first round. Well, so

405
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: far as we look at mock drafts, and everyone has

406
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: a mock draft. I paid attention to four. Really, at

407
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: least for me, you're a smart man. Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks,

408
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: mel Kiper Junior, and Todd McShay. I mean, those are

409
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the four that I look at, and I know there's

410
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: like forty four, fifty four, sixty whatever. I'll throw in

411
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: Dane Brugler, okay, because he actually he's a smart guy

412
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: and he found a former coach that showed him how

413
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: to watch film, so he's really done a nice job

414
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: with the athletic I got a chance to sit down

415
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: with him at the combine watching the forty times. So

416
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: he's a guy up and coming. Obviously he's not on

417
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: the network or he's not on NFL dot com. But again,

418
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to go that what I'm saying, he's

419
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: he's actually like Jeremiah, he studies film, Jeremiah was a

420
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: former scout. Kuyper obviously studies film, Mshay obviously talks to

421
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: gms and personnel guys. But yeah, I would agree with

422
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: that with those four. So far, with these mocks that

423
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: I follow, offensive Lineman has not been mocked to the

424
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals it's been a wide receiver, edge rusher, cornerback, defensive end,

425
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. So offensive lineman is not something that many

426
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: out there. Again, you're kind of doing this. What does

427
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: a team need? Who's available? So offensive line? Right now,

428
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: amongst those four names, have not put an offensive lineman

429
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: next to the aarro was on a cardinal's name. Okay,

430
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: so let's say hypothetically they were able to retain aj

431
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Green and Robert Alford. Now, Alfred shouldn't affect your your

432
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: or Green affect your status in the future. So on

433
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: the offense, they basically need probably another offensive line, which

434
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: you can get in the mid rounds, and then they

435
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: need a wide receiver, whether he's three or two or

436
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: three or four. Right, Okay, defense, d lineman, edge rush,

437
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: your corner. So they're probably gonna go heavy on defense

438
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: in the early rounds of this draft. It wouldn't surprise

439
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: me if they took a running back. They wouldn't surprive anything.

440
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: They drafted a quarterback in the seventh round. Really, oh

441
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: boy boy, that'll be an interesting story. Are you gonna

442
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: have three on the roster and some teams do take

443
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: four to camps? Well, and if they have a rookie

444
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: Mini Camp. I mean, I don't know the situation with

445
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: Trace McSorley, but I know that they worked out or

446
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: talked to a couple. There are guys they You'd have

447
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 1: to be a scout to know who they are. By

448
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 1: the way, as we speak here on Cardinals Covered two

449
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: presented by Honday, probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals, it

450
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: is Monday, March twenty eighth. We are exactly one month

451
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: away from the twenty twenty two NFL Draft in Las Vegas. Yeah,

452
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: we were walking through the lobby and they had the

453
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and I'm like, that was so long ago. Okay,

454
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: NFL network needs content, just like they got the owner's meetings.

455
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: That's true. We'll get to that in a moment. But

456
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: also on the draft, if you're planning ahead, again, it's April,

457
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: the end of April, but if you really want to

458
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: get ahead of yourself, MJ next year's draft, Kansas City,

459
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: April twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty ninth, two years from now.

460
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: The NFL at the annual League Meeting in Florida, announcing

461
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: that the twenty twenty four NFL Draft will be in Detroit.

462
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: No dates given yet, but if you're looking and you

463
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: plan to follow along, Detroit biggas Kansas City, Detroit are

464
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: the Detroit outbid Washington. Yeah, I can't remember how many

465
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: teams were interested, but this has become a thing, much

466
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: like the super Bowl. It's gonna it's gonna rote it.

467
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think the Draft, though, is gonna

468
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: be more not too much like the super Bowl to

469
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, ten eleven cities because you

470
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: want warm weather. I do think they'll be more open

471
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: and free moving. I think every team is getting an

472
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: opportunity if they want to host the NFL. Well, I mean,

473
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: if you just said that the combines in Detroit, which

474
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the difference of Indianapolis, it's it's I mean,

475
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: let's I know, Detroit's a blue collar town and they're

476
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna be on hard knocks, yes, and I'm looking forward

477
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 1: to Dan Campbell. They're gonna break any kneecaps anyways. They

478
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: can showcase it. I mean it's a motor city. I

479
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot, they have a lot of nice

480
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: things there. People just look at Detroit because it's gloomy.

481
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: But I'm happy for Detroit because that's a franchise that

482
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: obviously hasn't won a lot of games, but hopefully they're

483
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: heading in the right direction. So that was a now earlier.

484
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: The annual league meeting going on through Wednesday in Palm Beach, Florida.

485
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: Really a tough gig if you could make your way.

486
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: Some of the screenshots, some of the pictures leaders. Yet

487
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: it's not but this way, there are worse places to

488
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: be than Palm Beach, Florida, if you are it's not

489
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: the biltmore. It is not. Though that was a lot

490
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: of fun. A couple of years back. They'll be back.

491
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: What was that? How long ago was that the last?

492
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: That was the last time that everyone gathered together? Correct?

493
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen been Kingsbury's first year. Kingsbury's first year, that's right.

494
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: Remember he had breakfast with us? Yes, did he eat?

495
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: I don't think he did. I think there was just

496
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: a play of food next to him and it just

497
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: sat there for an hour as he uh as he

498
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: answered questions for an hour. Speaking of Cliff Kingsbury, did

499
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: you happen to catch the head coaches group photo? Yeah,

500
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm always fascinating with this. Not every head coach photographed.

501
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh front and center, as to be expect sunglasses.

502
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: You win the Super Bowl season that the tallest guy. No,

503
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: well yeah, but okay because a height or because he

504
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Well look look at the guy

505
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: standing in the back. They're taller. Well, Cliff in the

506
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: back next to Pete Carroll, Well he's not very tall.

507
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: But Cliff wearing shorts. First time I've ever seen the

508
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Cardinals head coach wearing shorts. I didn't notice it. I

509
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: noticed he was wearing sunglasses. So he's always rocking sunglasses.

510
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: You see Belichick was wearing shorts today, but we've seen

511
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: Belichick in shorts. BA used to wear shorts in practice. Kingsbury, No,

512
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: it's always long sleeve. You know. That's right. He's always

513
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: got those h's always covered. He's always got those tight

514
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: pants on. I mean it was I mean even walking

515
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: around the facility, Kingsbury, You're right, we don't see him.

516
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: He's always got sweats on. I don't know. You know,

517
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: they say you do a self scouting the end of

518
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: the season. Maybe this is part of his self Was

519
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: he wearing because he doesn't wear socks? Right? I did

520
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: not could not see that. But yeah, he doesn't typically

521
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: wear a socks. Now, this is by far the most

522
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: we've ever talked about Cliff Kingsbury's wardrobe here on Cardinals Coups. Well, okay,

523
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: so two thousand and seventeen, right, I posted on Facebook

524
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: so I could always get these memories. So I looked

525
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: at it in twenty seventeen, the picture twenty coaches are

526
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: no longer head coaches in the National Football League. They

527
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: were only twelve. And in that picture there was no

528
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, Belichick and Pete Carroll. And I thought to myself,

529
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: all three of those guys won Super Bowl. They need

530
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: to show up an arian, Yeah, an Arians, but yeah,

531
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: Craig twenty. I mean that was to Steve Wilkeshire. Yes,

532
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean he Doug Morone and Pat Shermer and Anthony Lynn.

533
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, And that's that's only four years go.

534
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: Twenty coaches aren't a longer head coaches in the league.

535
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: And then you got Andy Reid and all these guys

536
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: that are lessed for a long Sean McDermott. Now you know,

537
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: you look at Mike Tomlinka, the NFL stands for not

538
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: for long exactly. All I have to dude, is look

539
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: at that group photo of head coaches at the annual

540
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: league meeting and go, okay, well a lot of changes there, uh.

541
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of head coaches, the AFC head coaches met the

542
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: media on Monday. My guess is the NFC will meet

543
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: the media on Tuesday. We'll see if anything comes out

544
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: of that. But there is actually some breaking Cardinals news

545
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: as announced by an AFC head coach, Titans head coach

546
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel telling reporters that the Buccaneers and the Cardinals

547
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: will be holding joint practices the third week of training camp.

548
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: Now I don't know if he meant like all three

549
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: teams like, but the third week of training camp going

550
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: into that third game Titans, Buccaneers and Cardinals. Now, I

551
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: know this is something that you've long want to see

552
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: and it's just not feasible here in Arizona based off

553
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: of weather and then space. But the Cardinals to be

554
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: able to do what they did back in twenty sixteen

555
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: practice with the Chargers, and I'll get to the last

556
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: time that they were in Nashville for joint practices in

557
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: a moment because some history there as well. But the

558
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: fact that this team is going to hold joint practices.

559
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't going to happen in Cliffs first year, but

560
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: after that first year, it has been on this team's

561
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: radar because I do think it gives you a better

562
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: gauge and you can get better in a joint practice

563
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: than you can during the preseason game. Yeah. I think

564
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: it was because the pandemic too. Even though you know

565
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: the Rams and Cowboys they're proximite Dallas Is and Ox

566
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: and Art and then now and the Chargers. You know

567
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: obviously they train in southern California. Yeah, this is ideal

568
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: for me because you got to assume it's going to

569
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: be the second or third preseason game. Last year, the

570
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals played the Cowboys in Chiefs and then the Saints

571
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: game got canceled because obviously the weather and the plane

572
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: had to turn around. So you but to me, I

573
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: always mentioned this, I can put my number one receiver

574
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: against your number one corner. I can think there's individual

575
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: drills where your pass rusher against goal against the left

576
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: tackle d lineman. You can you can just line up

577
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: your ear go seven out of seven where you can

578
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: just have your receivers and running backs going against their

579
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: their their seven seven out of seven. So and you

580
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: won't get that in the preseason game. Normally that you

581
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: don't see starters playing that third preseason game. They may

582
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: play a series. We know that Kyler Murray last year

583
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: and as a whole, played eleven snaps against the Chiefs

584
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: and it caused a you know, people were yelling flare

585
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: and why didn't we analyze those eleven snaps for weeks

586
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: on end three and out and all that other stuff.

587
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: And we can talk about the drop, but Christian Kirk,

588
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know why I remember this stuff. But anyways, yeah,

589
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: I think it's good. And you know, in fairness, you

590
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: really couldn't do it on clips first year. He was

591
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: installing a new offense. But it's always good. And when

592
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: those actice has happened. Now you can scout the other

593
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: team when those guys become free agents, because they will

594
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: not play the Titans that share more information. As we

595
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: talk about, it's all about information gathering. You don't think

596
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: Belichick schedules two or three every year. Now, he had

597
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: a relationship with Matt Patricia, so he would do the Lions. Now,

598
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: some of those there's a gentleman's agreement no fighting, although

599
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: there was a fight that did impact one of those

600
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: joint practices last year between the Buccaneers and Titans. So well,

601
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: things do get a little bit well. At first, everyone's

602
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: excited because you know the old saying, I want to

603
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: look at another jersey in the helmet and logo and

604
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: see another face and I want to go up against

605
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: that guy because he's so postly one of the top

606
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: corners in football. It's just the second day you start

607
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: to get under somebody's skin and then you know, and

608
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: there's referees out there, and what you want don't want

609
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: to do is you don't want anybody to throw a

610
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: punch and break his bak, his wristers, his hand. But

611
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: then you also want to you don't want to have

612
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 1: anybody on the ground because that's where guys could take

613
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: angled up. So it's going to be a gentleman's agreement

614
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, let's put the work

615
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: in and hopefully nobody gets injured. Now full disclosure, the

616
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: Cardinals haven't confirmed any of this, but if one head

617
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: coach says it's going to happen, perhaps maybe the other

618
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,239
Speaker 1: head coach I e. Cliff Kingsbury will acknowledge it at

619
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: some point sooner rather than later. It's just a matter

620
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: of the timing of this. Do the Cardinals play at

621
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: the Titans in that second preseason game and just stay

622
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: there for some joint practices or is it joint practices

623
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: leading into that third preseason game? And the Cardinals will

624
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: have two road games in the preseason, just one home game.

625
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: Last year it was the opposite. Two home games, one

626
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: road game, And that's something that the league is going

627
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: to alternate back and forth. Some years you'll get two

628
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: and then the next year you'll get one. Yeah, and

629
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: we mentioned Cowboys in Chiefs and then they got the game.

630
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: Can normally it happens before the game, So depending on

631
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: the schedule, do they do they play on a Friday, Saturday,

632
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: or Sunday. You'll go in there at least two or

633
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: three days early. Usually that first day you're kind of

634
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: just getting set up and then you'll probably get in

635
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: three to four or five practices against the Titans or

636
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: the opponent. Here's what Mike Rabel had to say. Quote,

637
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw what Arizona did us the first

638
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: week of the season. This is a talented team, a

639
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: fast team. End quote. Ye also had some nice things

640
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: to say about the Buccaneers as well. But it's Mike

641
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: Rabel looking at his team and looking all right, how

642
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: can we get better. Let's go for a son former

643
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion team in Tampa Bay. Let's look at

644
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: the Cardinals who beat us thirty eight to thirteen in

645
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: Week one. We obviously talking about the Tans. Weren't ready.

646
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: Let's get ready for the start of the season. Yeah,

647
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good tune up because you know,

648
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: people going into that game, people thought they were gonna

649
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: be in the Super Bowl contention, and they were in

650
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: a number one seed. Unfortunately, they just turn the ball

651
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: over three times. And if they don't turn it over,

652
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: maybe they're playing it in the AFC Championship game. It

653
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: would have been tough probably to beat the Bengals, well

654
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: they would have knocked him out, but maybe the Chiefs

655
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: or the Bills. But yeah, yeah, I mean, and again

656
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: they after that game, Derrick Henry ran wild. So you

657
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: got to give the Cardinals a ton of credit because

658
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: they planned for that for about three to four months

659
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: and that was the goal. Acquiring J. J. Watt and

660
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: obviously having a health they ran their Jones and Marcus

661
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: Cold and everyone else that they wanted to go in

662
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: there and send a message that was the biggest two

663
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: things with leadership and physicality this year that more filling

664
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: out retain their own players because they have those guys

665
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: on the roster. Now, I did mention this is will

666
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: not be the first time that the Cardinals have held

667
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: joint practices with the Titans in Nashville. I know you're

668
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: familiar with this, MJ. You've got a rock solid memory

669
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: when it comes the Arizona Cardinals. But twenty ten, the

670
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals held a week of training camp practices in Nashville

671
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: against the Titans. Twenty ten. That was also the time

672
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: in which Matt Leinert Well, he was benched in a

673
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: preseason game prior to that, and he would ultimately get

674
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: released a few weeks later. He was not happy about

675
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: getting replaced by Derek Anderson. There was some was an

676
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: impromptu press conference by a tree in Nashville. I know

677
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: Paul Paul Calvci was out there, but that's something that

678
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: that joint practice is remembered for the end of the

679
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: Matt Linered era and to a lesser extent, at the

680
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: beginning of the Derek Anderson era. Yeah, I guess you know.

681
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the first day, but

682
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: maybe it was the second day. The Titan players were

683
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: calling him out, calling him mister checkdown. He would not

684
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field. That's when you try it. Yeah,

685
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: he was the chances in. Dave Brown always told me.

686
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: He always told his young quarterbacks, when you come in,

687
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: you see a guy open, throw it to him. Don't

688
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: worry about it. Well, here's a tenth overall pick in

689
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: the draft. I don't want to see it a nood alarm,

690
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: but a lot of times his ball would float. It's

691
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: a little bit different coming out of the left hand,

692
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: but he would. He would not. At that point, he

693
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: was playing scared, to be honest with you, because he

694
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: didn't want to lose his job, and he's just like,

695
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: I just want to get through these practices. No, take

696
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: some chances. That's the only way you're going to get better.

697
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: I could guarantee one thing again, if this does happen,

698
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: and there's no reason to discount what Mike Rabel is saying,

699
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: I am willing to wager that the Cardinals will not

700
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: have any quarterback controversy come out of that joint practice.

701
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is not going to be losing a job,

702
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: not gonna get benched, and that's gonna hold some press

703
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: conference and speak up, speak out, speak against. So I

704
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: think the things will be like smoother, Craig if Rabel

705
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: come out with this. Don't you think there's some planning

706
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: involved here? Oh? I'm sure, right, but just nothing confirmed

707
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals. But I mean, who knows. Sounds like

708
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: they're playing the Titans in the preseason. Can we say that? Oh? Yeah,

709
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying it's a trip to Nashville

710
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: at some point, and you don't play him during the season.

711
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: Usually he started dre Geographically, they played the Cowboys and

712
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs usually always end up with the Broncos. There's been

713
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: times they've gone cross country. It would have been New Orleans,

714
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: would have been I guess, you know, the South. But yeah,

715
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: that's an interesting because you try to keep teams close

716
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: because of travel. But in this case it makes total sense.

717
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: Cardinals do play the Buccaneers though, And I don't think

718
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: this is three again. I don't know, maybe maybe I'm

719
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: miss speaking here, but I don't think it's three teams. No,

720
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: you can't practice, No, No, it's it's one week against

721
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and then one week against the Cardinals. This

722
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: isn't matter of the timing asks. Yes, and maybe they

723
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: play the Bucks in the first or second preseason game,

724
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: or the card to play the Cardinals, but the Bucks

725
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: are coming to State Farm Stadium. Yes, Tom Brady will

726
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: have a regular season game final State Farm Stadium for

727
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: the first time, only because he came out of retirement. Hey,

728
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: one last note on the annual league meeting, because there's

729
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: not expected to be a lot of news when it

730
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: comes to the competition committee and rules and everything, but

731
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: it does sound and again, maybe there's nothing that happens

732
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 1: with overtime, but it is certainly a hot button issue

733
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: and a talking point this week that there are teams

734
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: Colts and Eagles have both submitted proposals of changing so

735
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: we don't get another one and done, meaning you win

736
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: the coin toss, you get the possession, you score touchdown

737
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: games over and the other team never gets an opportunity

738
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: to touch the football. There's a good segment out there.

739
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's twenty four owners that will

740
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: vote to change that, but there is a sentiment that

741
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: we are getting closer and closer to where overtime will

742
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: be tweaked. Maybe not this year, but eventually. Yeah. Well

743
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: was the Chiefs game. If they would have went down

744
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: and scored, then people would have went nuts. Yeah. I

745
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: was listening to Belichick today and he's like, they're asking

746
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: him and he was in mid season. For him, it

747
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: was Jara Bell from the USA Today who was covered

748
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: the league for a long time. He goes, what are

749
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the Well, we talked about it yesterday.

750
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? He goes on, I haven't changed

751
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: my thoughts, And he said, well, what are your like

752
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: if you haven't changed your thoughts, what are your thoughts?

753
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: And he's he wouldn't answer them. So it sounds like

754
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: Belichick's old school. Now there is one two both teams

755
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: touched the ball. The Colts and Eagles would like to

756
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: see both teams possessed the ball, and then the Titans

757
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: also would like to see both teams possessed the ball

758
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: unless the team with the first possession scores a touchdown

759
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: and a successful two point try. So those are the

760
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: two proposals that are being discussed, and maybe there's something

761
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: that comes out that it is completely different than those.

762
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: Those are the two proposals that are out there. Yeah,

763
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: the competition committee meets throughout the year. Those the owners

764
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: can come up with their own if they choose to. True. Right,

765
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: but you were thought we'd hear something by now. True.

766
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: The by laws are these. This is what they're the

767
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: twenty four votes you need seventy five out of one hundred.

768
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: I still think you got to play defense. I'm an

769
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: old school I guess. I mean, it's just I understand

770
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: if you don't win the coin toss, it's I mean,

771
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: I get it, but you gotta play defense. I mean

772
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: it's special teams. I don't know. I mean, you kick

773
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: a field goal, then they get an opportunity to get

774
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: on to score. I get it. But it's above my

775
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: pay grade. And those are like champagne problems. Mike Tomlin,

776
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: the Steeler's head coach, likes to what you said. He

777
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: likes the current format. This is what he told reporters

778
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: on Monday. Quote, I don't fear sudden death. I don't know.

779
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he's talking about just life in general. I don't know.

780
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: But the reason why this is so up in arms

781
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: is because it's not what happens in the regular season.

782
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: It's what happens in the postseason, and I found this

783
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: interest in the NFL research and there have been one

784
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three games including the plasts, but there

785
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: have only been eleven playoff games that have gone into

786
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: overtime under this current system. Eleven games. Well. Ten of

787
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: those eleven games, the team that won the coin toss

788
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: won the game, meaning they do well. Ten teams that

789
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: won the coin toss won the game. Seven of those

790
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: ten teams scored a touchdown on the opening drive. So

791
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: that's you're looking when you're looking at the percentages, and

792
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: it's a small sample size, and that's what they want.

793
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: They don't want another Chiefs Bill's moments where you see

794
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the sideline, didn't even get a chance,

795
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, you forced overtime, lose the coin toss, or

796
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Patriot Storm all the way back against the

797
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: Falcons won the coin toss and Matt Ryan sitting there

798
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: on the bench going, what the heck? Play defense? All right?

799
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this regular season no overtime. I

800
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: like that, and I can't remember who mentioned it, but

801
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: I would have you're fine with ties because there's seventeen games.

802
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: If you have, if you have, if you you can't.

803
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: You can't have ties in the postseason. No, And if

804
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: you if you're worried about players safety, then just and

805
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was, just play the regular

806
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: season as is, end of regulation, the games tied, it's

807
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: a tie. Okay, to tie, get to the postseason. End

808
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 1: of regulation, it's a tie. Ten minutes on the clock.

809
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: You play a full quarter, play a fifth quarter for

810
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: a full ten minutes, and if it's still tied after that,

811
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: then you play a sixth quarter. Even if I go

812
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: down and score correct, I want I will sell ten minutes.

813
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: You're asking these guys to play seventy minutes in January.

814
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean their bodies. Oh, I get it. I mean

815
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: they put it this way. There is no easy solutions

816
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: to us where everyone is going to be happy. I

817
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: mean it's but it's not like we have like ten

818
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: teams coming up with these rule change. I mean they've

819
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: changed rules every single year. Yeah, it's always you know,

820
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: it's all geared towards offense. You can't touch the guy,

821
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: can't hit the quarterback anymore. It's okay that they want scoring,

822
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: and I get it. We'll see, but you still got

823
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: to play defense. Yeah, defense wins championships, right, we think

824
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl, Yes, s S Joe Burrow. So

825
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: we'll see if something transpires this week. Again, they are

826
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: meeting through Wednesday. But the only real news we think,

827
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe there's a surprise would be over time

828
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: and whether there's a tweak to that. Yeah, and I'm

829
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: curious to see. Um. I think they may have a

830
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: fourteen man practice squadron of if it's going to be

831
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: sixteen again, it could be fourteen, but that's good because

832
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: usually that was for COVID, So that allows you to

833
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: have your fifty three man roster. And then I think

834
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: you have four evaluations where if you've been in the

835
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: league forever you can still play. So two things here.

836
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: You can go to easy Cardinals dot Com and our

837
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: social platforms. They do have the Draft day hats out.

838
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: I did see that. That's nice and nice looking at

839
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: very nice. Every year they kind of changed up a

840
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: little bit. And then also if you're somebody that stud

841
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: as analytics and you want to take a shot, the

842
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals are offering season tickets. You can go to easy

843
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot Com and there's a simulator and you have

844
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: to project the schedule. I'm gonna say good luck. You

845
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: gotta pick your bye week. You gotta pick. You gotta

846
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: pick every single game, homer away, all seventeen games plus

847
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: the bye week. If you are perfect, you win season tickets. Yes, okay,

848
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: I hope somebody wins. I posted on Facebook and I

849
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: had a couple of guys and it looked it looked normal,

850
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 1: like starting off on a m against a division of poem.

851
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: Maybe it is the Monday night Lake game. Um, they

852
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: had the bye week. In week ten, they had his

853
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: finishing um um against the Rams. It was interesting, but

854
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: they did. They do this like four hundred million times,

855
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: so you know when they figure it out. It's like

856
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: the mock draft thirty two picks, and how many are

857
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: actually correct, whether it's the prospect and the right slot

858
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: or the right team is like less than thirty. Yeah,

859
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: it's less than twenty. And the interesting thing is we

860
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: know over the next couple of years which teams or

861
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals are gonna be playing except for three right, yes,

862
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: the ninth game and then a team that finishes in

863
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: the same same standing as you in a different conference.

864
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: And we know we know home and away, yeah, things

865
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: to the order. We don't know the dates most difficult

866
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,439
Speaker 1: part is the order. Yeah, so that'll be fun asy

867
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot com. See if you can't win some season tickets,

868
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's something that maybe that's an exercise that you

869
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: and I should try. I was gonna I was gonna

870
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: say we try it. We'll try and see how see

871
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: how accurate we are. What do you think the over

872
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: and under? Like three? Yeah? Probably see seventeen. Yeah, well

873
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: I shoot for four. Well we got six division games,

874
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: so I shoot for every more and more every fourth

875
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: week scheduled a division game. Bird Gang, try a hand

876
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: and let us know how it all shapes that when

877
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: that schedule gets released sometime in May. And on that note,

878
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,400
