Speaker 1: and it was not a good start to the week.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: We learned DJ Humphries is done for the season and

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: likely a good chunk of next season. What does that

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: mean moving forward? Speaking of moving forward, the Cardinals are

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: moving forward with Kyler Murray not a surprise and Michael

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Carter and Greg Dortch. They're showing their worth moving forward

00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,400

00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,440

00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: So far yay. Here's Craig Griolud.

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: A lot of news to catch up on, not all

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: of it good news, But help me with this, Danny.

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: When does it become too late to say Happy New Year?

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: I hadn't really thought about this until I saw it

24
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: online and I saw online. Apparently it's January third, which

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: is Wednesday, the day we are recording this, So I

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: guess in that sense, Happy new Year, Craig, Happy new Year,

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: Happy Year Cardinals fans.

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Happy new Year to all the bird Gang. And I

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: guess later in the week, we just don't have to

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: worry about it. It's just don't want twenty four.

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: Don't say it to me. Start starting January fourth, I

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: want to hear it. Okay, Well, I I will say,

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 3: I do you think it's funny when you know, normal

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: nine to five city or desk business jobs. A lot

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: of people go back to work on the second and

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: seeing all these tweets online about oh, circling back, right

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: since around Thanksgiving the holiday, circling back has like come

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: to bite you in the butt. I think I completely

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: forget that that's even a thing, because we haven't We've

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: been here every day. So I thought it was funny

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: on seeing online everybody like, well, firstday back at work,

42
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: nobody email me. I'm not circling back. I'm just gonna

43
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: look at my computer screen all day. I thought that

44
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: was funny. So if that's been if that's your listening,

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: and that's true, my apologies to you. I hope you

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: made it through your first day back at work.

47
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: There are certain professions. Ours is one in which Thanksgiving, Christmas,

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: New Year's you're working. That's just the nature of the job,

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: and other jobs as well. So yeah, you don't have

50
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: that two week break or that long weekend to spend

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: with family and friends around the holidays. It's again not complaining.

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: That's just what we signed up for, so all right.

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: What we also signed up for, unfortunately, is dealing with

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: some bad news. On Wednesday, by the way, I was

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: feeling good, still relishing the wind coming off of Sunday's

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: performance in Philadelphia, our first chance to really talk about it,

57
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: and then Jonathan Gannon sat in front of the microphone

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: to address the media ten am Wednesday morning, as he

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: does each and every week, sometimes he begins with a

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: question and sometimes he'll just sit down and hey, I

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: want to start with this, and that was the case

62
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: on Wednesday as he began the press conference with some

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: unfortunate news, not that DJ Humphreys was headed to IR.

64
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: I think we all maybe anticipated that that Humphreys was

65
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: going to miss the Week eighteen game against the Seahawks

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: a knee injury late in the game on Sunday, not

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: much to play for. Don't push it, just let someone

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: else do it and go into the offseason. Well, not

69
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: only is Humphrey's going to miss this game, but Danny

70
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance, in fact, I'll say one

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: hundred percent chance that he is going to miss a

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: good chunk of next season. After Humphreys terrors his ACL

73
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, this is a.

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: Big blow for the Cardinals. Humphreys had only missed one

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: other game this year. He's a pillar on this offense.

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: He's a team captain for a reason. Gannon has said

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: multiple times stepping since stepping foot in this building that

78
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: Humphries is the exact type of person and player you

79
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: want to build a team round, and that Gannon goes

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: to him to ask him questions. Not having that type

81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: of leadership on the field, even though it's just for

82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: one game, but more so into next year, that's a

83
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: big blow. And you're right, it's not so much of

84
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: the concern of Humphreys missing the final game of this year,

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: it's how much time is he gonna miss next year.

86
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: You look around the league, you look at players on

87
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: this team that have come back from ACL surgeries, Kyler,

88
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: Murray zach Ertz when he was here. Garrett Williams, it's

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: on average right nine to ten months typically assuming surgery

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: and everything goes well before we really see the player

91
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: even have a chance at starting a game. So to

92
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: Terry or Acl this late is it's rough when you

93
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: think about that, and Gannon said, it's a tough pill

94
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: to swallow. Beacham's going to go out to your left

95
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: tackle spot. He's in a nice job filling in against Eagles.

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 3: He has plenty of experience there. So again it's not

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: so much concern for the final game. It's more looking

98
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: ahead to twenty twenty four.

99
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Ertz was back in ten months. Kyler was back in

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: eleven months, ten months though, post surgery. So that's the

101
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: question now becomes when does Humphries undergo surgery? And then

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: you kind of count down the months because it's not

103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: going to be September. It's likely not going to be October,

104
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: but it might be November for DJ Humphreys to return

105
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: and then okay, we speculate here on January third he

106
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: returns position is he returning to.

107
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: That's a good question. And in terms of getting surgery schedule,

108
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we don't have that information. It's likely that

109
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: the staff here doesn't have that information yet because you

110
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: have to wait for the swelling to go down before

111
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: you can make those decisions. It was going to be

112
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: a topic in the off season more so of rookie

113
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: right tackle Parishawns, and Junior's been playing well left tackle?

114
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: Is his natural spot? Is it a consideration to move

115
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: him over? That was you know, gonna come up at

116
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: some point as a talks but now that you're likely

117
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 3: not going to have Humphries, what happens at that position?

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: Is that something that the staff wants Johnson to move

119
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: over to the left at some point and this is

120
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: the opportune time for him to go out there and

121
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: get those reps. Is that a position that maybe they

122
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: see Colvin Beacham holding in the future. Is that a

123
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: position that's going to be addressed in the draft or

124
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: free agency? There's it is You're right, it's so early

125
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 3: because it's so fresh when you're talking about all of

126
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: the options. But I guess if you're looking for a

127
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: silver lining, and not to say that Humphries isn't still

128
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: an option to work his way back and fight for

129
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: a spot, but Cardinals are going to have a lot

130
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 3: of decisions to make in a lot of different options

131
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 3: when it comes to filling that role.

132
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: And this is the cruel nature of professional I.

133
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: Mean, he's the one of the best people in that

134
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: locker room. It doesn't bring me us are talking about

135
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: his replacement at all.

136
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: But what is the first reaction? It's you hate it

137
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: for the player, the person, and then it's like, Okay, well,

138
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: the season doesn't stop or wait for you. You have

139
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: to continue, you have to move on. Here are our options.

140
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: What do we do? And you can keep Kelvin Beacham

141
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: as your left tackle next season. He's under contract. Paris

142
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Johnson's played well on the right side and has seen

143
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot of quality edge rushers and that whole blind

144
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: side left tackle is more important than the right tackle.

145
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case anymore because a lot

146
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: of those edge rushers a Montes Sweat and Nick Bosa, TJ. Watt,

147
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: they'll go on either side of the line of scrimmage

148
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: because they try to find either the weak link quote unquote,

149
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: or they're trying to mix and match you, maybe catch

150
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: you off card So, yeah, the left tackle has always

151
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: been the premiere position on the offensive line, but I

152
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: don't think that's the case anymore because of the athleticism

153
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: and a talent that's on the other side of the

154
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So, okay, keep Paris Johnson as your

155
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: right tackle. Figure out what you're gonna do on the

156
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: left side. Is that Beacham? Is that a draft pick

157
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: someone in the first round? I don't know. And you

158
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: hate it because next season would have been Humphreys on

159
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: the left and Paris on the right, And at some

160
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: point maybe Humphreys is no longer here and Paris can

161
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 1: move over to the left side, and then you figure

162
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: out what you want to do on the right side.

163
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: You would imagine, especially with the draft capitol and the

164
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: expected area of where the Cardinals will have their own

165
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: first round draft pick. It's not set yet, it'll probably

166
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: be anywhere between three to seven three to eight range,

167
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: depending on how the last week of the regular season

168
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: obviously pans out. You would imagine that having a prime

169
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: spot tackle would be something that was already on their

170
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: list the trenches, both sides of the ball. How much

171
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: does this change the strategy behind I won't say scouting,

172
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: but I guess the decisions there right of We obviously

173
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: won't know the answer, and to a certain degree, I'm

174
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: not sure that general manager Money Austin for we know

175
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: the answer, because it's all hypothetical and the season is

176
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: still happening. Let's say that the Cardinals were likely to

177
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: trade down. Are you less likely now that you might

178
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: see a premier tackle that you want that you don't

179
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: want to miss out on knowing that Humphreys will miss

180
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: a portion of next season, And is this the time

181
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: you start to really move forward? There's again it's early.

182
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: There's a lot of questions, and the Cardinals have a

183
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: lot of options at their disposal.

184
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: It's a good point because as you evaluate what you

185
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: want to do free agency or the draft. Okay, we

186
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: have this high draft pick, and we value the line

187
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, offensive line, defensive line, edge rusher, wide receiver

188
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: obviously for obvious reasons. But because of the news on Wednesday,

189
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: does all of a sudden offensive line already a high priority?

190
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: But does it become higher because you're lost Humphreys for

191
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: half the season and maybe again, yeah, you're under contract,

192
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: But again, the cruel nature of this business, is Humphreys

193
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: even a part of this team in twenty twenty four,

194
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: and if he is, maybe it's just twenty twenty four

195
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: and not twenty twenty five. The big picture, when you

196
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: look at the draft and a front office, that's what

197
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: they have to pay attention to and discuss, and it's

198
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: the bad part of this business when you talk about

199
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: the players in the locker room.

200
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: It's the nature of the beast. I do think that

201
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: even if Humphreys finished the season healthy, I think it

202
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: still would have been a discussion about his future here

203
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: and whether or not it is time if again, we

204
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: don't know if this staff wants to move Johnson over

205
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: from the right to the left. Maybe they don't, Maybe

206
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: Johnson's been playing so well that they want him. Maybe

207
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: Johnson is really comfortable there. We haven't had a chance

208
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: to have those conversations quite yet, but even still, I

209
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: think it still would have been at least a discussion

210
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: of when you have the draft capital and the prime

211
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: spot for that first round pick. I do think tackles

212
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: still would have come up in our conversation of not

213
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: even necessarily replacing Humphries as early as twenty twenty four,

214
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: but also that depth in planning long term of how

215
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: great would it be to have an offensive line when

216
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: you've got two premiere tackles for quarterback Kyler Murray. So

217
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: I do think to a certain extent, it obviously would

218
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: have been a different conversation. I do still think tackle

219
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: would have been a conversation around needs when you're talking

220
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: about this offensive line for building for the future of this.

221
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: Offseason and as well as Humphries's play next season is

222
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: year ten and now all of a sudden, age becomes

223
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: a factor. Even though yes, he's still very young, younger

224
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: than me older.

225
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: I mean you though slightly, but it still matters.

226
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: Yes it does. And that offensive line overall has been

227
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: very solid and I think un underrated aspects of this team,

228
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: whether that's the offense, defense, or special teams. Because the

229
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: questions going into the season was, all right, you're starting center,

230
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: your left guard, and then okay, Comparis Johnson handled the

231
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: right side of the offensive line. And I think the

232
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: answers to all those questions. Left guard's been more of

233
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: a rotation than I think maybe Clayton Adams, the offensive

234
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: line coach, would prefer. But by and large, you have

235
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: seven eight guys in that room that have played exceptionally well.

236
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: They've kept the quarterback clean for the most part, and

237
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: more importantly, as far as what offensive linemen like to do,

238
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: they like to come off the ball and block defensive

239
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: linemens put them on their heels. As far as opening

240
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: up those rushing lanes for the running backs.

241
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: We've talked throughout the season when we saw the sparks

242
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: for the first half the season about the pass rush

243
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: surprising us or the defensive line. I think that's a

244
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: good point. I'm not sure we've really given the love

245
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: that this offensive line deserves. When Cenery yelled of fro

246
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: Hoole signed with the Cardinals in the offseason and he

247
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 3: had I think I had four career starts at center

248
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: in his time, and we're thinking, oh my gosh, you

249
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 3: just got to like he has absolutely surpassed the expectations there.

250
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: It has been good communication, it has been good snaps,

251
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: it's been good blocking. You're right, the offensive line when

252
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: you're talking about the rotation of we've seen Elijah Wilkinson,

253
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: Carter O'Donnell, Dennis Day as your left guards, and a

254
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: whole other list of players dealing with adversity. They have

255
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 3: truly done a nice job of adjusting to that and

256
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: really not seeing any major differences when you're having to

257
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 3: plug different players. And now there have been times, yes,

258
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 3: where they've been going up against some stout defensive lines

259
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: and may have who may have gotten the better of

260
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: this offensive line. When you look at the season as

261
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: a whole and the pass rushers and d lines they've

262
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: been going up against, especially, I really think that this

263
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: offensive line has done a nice job protecting the pocket

264
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: and giving the quarterback some time to have have some options.

265
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: Just look at some of the rushing numbers. Number six

266
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: in the league, number two as far as yards per attempt,

267
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: just under five yards a carry is what this team

268
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: is averaging. Only once in franchise history has a Cardinals

269
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: team finished with five or better rushing yards per attempt.

270
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: That was twenty nineteen at five point oh three. Cardinals

271
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: right now are at four point nine to nine. You

272
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,359
Speaker 1: round up, it's five.

273
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: And that's what James Connor missing four games.

274
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a revolving door at times at running back.

275
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: And how about this. Let's talk about it because I

276
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: know you had a chance to speak with Michael Carter

277
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: on sideline exchange, but there's another pleasant surprise mid season.

278
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Wasn't sure what you were getting when you added him

279
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: late in the year. And oh, by the way, not

280
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: only is Michael Carter producing, he's under contract for next season.

281
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: What a nice surprise. As a one to two punch,

282
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: I guess I should say one two three because the

283
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: Mario de Mercado has also been doing nice things when

284
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: he's got the opportunity. It took a couple of weeks

285
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: to get Michael Carter involved and really kind of see

286
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: what he can do. To finish with sixty one rushing

287
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: yards seven carries against the Eagles, a receiving touchdown, which

288
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: he told me in sidelining Shange. Yes, it was his

289
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: first career receiving touchdown. It was his one hundredth career catch,

290
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: which is pretty cool. But I feel like the skill

291
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: set of Carter and Connor really compliments each other. It

292
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 3: reminds me of an elevated version of when it was

293
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: Connor and Chase Edmonds, of Connor being that big, heavy,

294
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 3: bulldozing running back that is going to run through players

295
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: and Carter being more of that agile, shifty player who

296
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: is so slippery. He is juking out defenders, he is

297
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: running through tackles, he's shaken off defenders. He seems like

298
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: he has good hands, and as a receiver, it's really

299
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: been a nice surprise, really nice addition for that running

300
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: backs room and allowing Connor to have a break and

301
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: having a running back go in and you're not missing

302
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: a When I was talking to Carter for Sideline Exchange

303
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: this week for my interview, I was asking about how

304
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: their skill sets compliment each other, and I thought it

305
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: was interesting that Carter told me that they actually have

306
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: the same skill sets. It's just that James is much

307
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: bigger than him, which I thought was interesting. It's true,

308
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: but it's interesting that at times it looks different, but

309
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: in his eyes, it's really similar. In how they run

310
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: the ball. I just think that they feed off each

311
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,239
Speaker 3: other really well.

312
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: And when given the opportunity. Carter hasn't had a lot

313
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: of opportunities, but he's making the most of them. In

314
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: five games, he's averaging better than seven yards a carry.

315
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: And I don't care if you're only getting the ball

316
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: two or three times, or you're getting the ball thirty times.

317
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Seven yards a pop is a lot, and that's in

318
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: a number of different ways. Yeah, he can run between

319
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: the tackles, he can get to the edge, use his speed,

320
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: and it's not like he avoids the contact. I think

321
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: James Connor likes and maybe initiates some of that contact

322
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: because he feeds off of it actually if he can

323
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: get a defender back on their heels or knock them

324
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: down on the ground. But similar styles of running. It's

325
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: just how physical and their body makeup allows them to

326
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: do a little bit different things. But what I do

327
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: like with that comparison because Connor and Edmonds both great

328
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: out of the backfield catching the football and you have

329
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: to be able to have the hands to do that

330
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: and then know when you do catch the ball how

331
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: to make most of those yards after the catch and

332
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: his juke putting that defender on his heels. It's a

333
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: video that I hope I wouldn't say go viral, but

334
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: that he appreciates because it does say what Carter can

335
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: do as an athlete in space.

336
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: We got a chance to talk to Paris Johnson in

337
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: the locker room this week, and I had asked him,

338
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 3: when you're seeing James run through players, when you're seeing

339
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: Michael juke out these defenders and have these big runs,

340
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: and say, what goes through your mind? And he goes

341
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: I just look up and I think, don't go down.

342
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: Don't go down, he said. But you know, I'll jog

343
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 3: behind him. I'll put my hand in the air, cheering

344
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: him on. You know, Kyler and I are usually the

345
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: last two in the back watching him. He goes, But

346
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 3: as soon as they go down, I'm sprinting to go

347
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: to the next flay. But he said, you know, until

348
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: that point, I'm just waving. I'm cheering them on and thinking,

349
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: please don't go down, Please don't go down. But he said,

350
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 3: it's very cool and exciting to see them have the

351
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 3: type of runs and plays they've had as of late.

352
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: I need to catch my breath, just show a couple

353
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: more yards and then we exactly reset for the next play.

354
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: But you know this, this is a great opportunity for

355
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 3: the Cardinals offense. The run game, we're at a point

356
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: in the season it has consistently been dominant. It's how

357
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 3: they are finding success and creating rhythm. The Seattle run

358
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: defense not great. In fact, they are bottom third in

359
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: yards after contact, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns allowed. That

360
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 3: is a great wheat spot against the Cardinals hot spot.

361
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Six straight opponents have rushed for at least one hundred

362
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: and thirty five yards, and over those six games, it's

363
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy yard per game average. Keep in mind,

364
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: James Connor one hundred and ten rushing yards away from

365
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: his first career one thousand yard season. Without knowing anything, Danny,

366
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: my guess, My hope is that Connor gets fed a

367
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: lot twenty six carries last week against the Eagles, if

368
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: he needs twenty six, if he needs thirty.

369
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: Six to get Yeah, it's not your body cares, but

370
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: for him as.

371
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: A player and what he means not on to the offense,

372
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: but the team overall. You would love to see James

373
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: Connor eclipse that one thousand yard mark. And you know

374
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: that the offensive line would love to see it. And

375
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyone in that locker room, any

376
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: one of that coaches, out front office, the fan base

377
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: would love to see James Connor get one thousand yards.

378
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 3: Connor plays with the heart and the passion that you

379
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 3: would want an entire team to be made out of.

380
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: He is truly selfless. It is team first. When Connor

381
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 3: signed his extension, the way with most running backs right,

382
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: one of the discussions is health. Is that worth the money?

383
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: If he has a hard time staying healthy. Connor missed

384
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: four games this year with a hamstring injury. He missed

385
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 3: the second half of that Bengals game, so really four

386
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 3: and a half games. The fact that he is still

387
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: having the year, he's having the impact he has had.

388
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 3: It's been quite noticeable when the Cardinals have moved away

389
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: from the run game and the lack of success they've had.

390
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: He has absolutely earned the respect and earned that contract

391
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: he had, And I think that's what's impressive is despite

392
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: missing time in the middle of the year, you come

393
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: back and you're not only not missing a beat, you're

394
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 3: playing better than you were before. And I think that

395
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 3: is hard to do, and that's impressive what the numbers

396
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: and production Connor has put up despite missing four games

397
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: this year.

398
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: And it's different because back in the day, you would

399
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: have that one running back that you would consistently give

400
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: thirty carries a game. That just doesn't happen anymore. But

401
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: Connor is one of those old school backs who needs

402
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: those touches. He gets better as the game goes into

403
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: that second half, into the fourth quarter, to where maybe

404
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: that first quarter two yard run not a big deal,

405
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: but it leads to something in the third quarter to

406
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: where that two yards becomes six or sixteen or twenty six.

407
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: You tire out the defense because you keep doing it.

408
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: You hear Ron willfully talk about it a lot on

409
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: the broadcast. Okay, didn't work, no gain, not a big deal,

410
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: but keep doing it. Don't be discouraged by that particular

411
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: play because if you're setting up for something later on

412
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: in the game.

413
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and that was something we discussed after the Rams

414
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: game when the Cardinals scored on that opening drive and

415
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: Connor had four carries and then two more carries the

416
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 3: rest of the game, Drew petsing the offensive coordinator is

417
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: in a nice job with the play calling and sticking

418
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: with the run, and then that all goes back to

419
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: the players on the field of sticking with the run

420
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: and not letting yourself get down if it's not working

421
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the game. Because you're right, it

422
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 3: does seem like once Connor, you know, gets hit a

423
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 3: couple of times, hits the ground a couple times, he

424
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: really gets going.

425
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: So not good news on Wednesday about DJ Humphries. But

426
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: as we discuss here on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hundai,

427
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Pleasant surprise, offensive line.

428
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: Pleasant surprise, Michael Carter. How about another pleasant surprise, and

429
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: maybe not so much of a surprise, but just the

430
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: fact that he is getting his best, his most consistent

431
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: playing time of his career, and that is Greg Dortch.

432
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: And the fact that with this playing time, all of

433
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: a sudden he has and we've talked a lot about

434
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: the sub six foot wide receivers on this roster, Hollywood Brown, Ronde,

435
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: Greg Dortch, Well, Hollywood's a free agent to be does

436
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: he return Rondel Moore? Yes, he's under contract, but he

437
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: hasn't been very productive this season. He's been healthy, I'll

438
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: give him that. And then here's Greg Dortch, who always

439
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: is ready at a moment's notice, run the ball, catch

440
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: the ball, and special teams. He's having one of his

441
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: better careers as a kickoff and a punt return specialist.

442
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: And I believe George is an exclusive rights free agent.

443
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: Which he's not going anywhere as long as the Cardinals

444
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: want him around.

445
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: Right George, We say this whole time. It's so impressive.

446
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: He answers every time his number is called upon. He

447
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: plays every down like it as his last he had

448
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: that first catch against Philly right by the sideline. That

449
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 3: was it was underthrown, it was low, and he extended

450
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: and made a great grab. He had seven receptions on

451
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 3: seven targets, and honestly, one of the most important was

452
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: late in the game when he had that catch, juked

453
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: out a defender, stayed and bound, shook off more defenders

454
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 3: and put the Cardinals deep in the red zone which

455
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: set up a touchdown. He has just continued to perform,

456
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 3: and I know that it might not have been as

457
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 3: consistent as fans would have liked over the years, including

458
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: a little bit this year. It took him some time.

459
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: It's just he was lower on the totem pole, and

460
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: he has done a nice job on special teams, earning

461
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: his role there week after week. It has been a

462
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: really nice pleasure watching Dorts those shine on the offense.

463
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: Somebody that when we get a chance to talk to,

464
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 3: he went undrafted. He bounced around to a couple different teams,

465
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: and so it's nice to see a player like that

466
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: with that kind of commitment and dedication and passion really

467
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: get the opportunity and making the most of that one

468
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: and shining on the field when it's his time.

469
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: All players want an opportunity, but what do you do

470
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: when you do get that opportunity? And since Week eleven,

471
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: Dertsch has had twenty one of his twenty two receptions

472
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: and two hundred and sixty four of his two hundred

473
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: and sixty six receiving yards in the past six games,

474
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: playing at least sixty five percent of the snap So,

475
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: whatever I wanna say, issues, but what was ever keeping

476
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Dortsch off the field a year ago under the previous

477
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: coaching staff and earlier this season it was always the consistency.

478
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: Is he doing what he's supposed to be doing on

479
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: a consistent basis? Does he have the trust of the

480
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff? And I think based off the increase playing

481
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: time of the last couple of weeks, yeah, Dorsch has

482
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: earned the trust and the confidence in the coaching staff,

483
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: maybe more importantly, Kyler Murray to be on the football

484
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: field in key moments.

485
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 3: I do think all of that is true. I also

486
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 3: think part of the reason we've seen such an increase

487
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: in his snapcount is because Hollywood Brown has been dealing

488
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: with the nagging heel injury which has now placed him

489
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: on ir so Brown hasn't been playing. I do think

490
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 3: that's part of the reason again of the totem bawl. Now,

491
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: when you have Hollywood Brown entering free agency and you

492
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 3: have decisions to be made around your wide receivers, I

493
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: do think that's a different conversation in the way that

494
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: Dorch has showed up. And I don't want to take

495
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 3: away of saying, well, he is only playing because Brown

496
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: is hurt. That's not true, but I do think that's

497
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: a large part as to why you're seeing an increase

498
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: in his snapcounts. But again, you're seeing that from Greg

499
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: Dortch and you're not seeing that from Rondo more and

500
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 3: that's because Doorsch has been producing at a really high level.

501
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: Michael Wilson's has also been out and that opens up

502
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: a door. But you're right, Okay, there was an opport

503
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: to be there for Rondell Moore to perhaps do more,

504
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: and I think the coaching staff wanted to see him

505
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: do more because he seemed to be more involved in

506
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: the game plan early in games, especially out of the backfield.

507
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: It just hasn't been The production has not been there.

508
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: And again you go back to the conversation about DJ Humphreys.

509
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: This is a cutthroat business. It's what have you done

510
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: for me lately and can you help us win moving forward?

511
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: And right now again on January third, I'd put Greg

512
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: Dortch ahead of those other two as far as the

513
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver position moving forward. I don't make those decisions,

514
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: but that's.

515
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair assessment though. When you're looking

516
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: over at production and skill sets, right how similar are

517
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 3: player skill sets of can they offer you the same thing?

518
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 3: And if that's the case, do you need multiple players

519
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: with that skill set or do you just need one?

520
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 3: In that sense, I do think as we get really

521
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: into the off season, because we're not even there yet,

522
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 3: I do think it could be feasible financially to keep both.

523
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: They don't necessarily think it has to be either or,

524
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: but I do think that Greg dort has really made

525
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: it a case for himself, regardless of the situation with

526
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: Rondel Moore, to stay here next year and.

527
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: One more game for everyone to make a case for

528
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: next season. Cardinals and Seahawks kickoff on Sunday at two

529
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: twenty five nine thirty. Pre game coverage begins on the

530
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, And I don't know if it

531
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: was a pleasant surprise, But I do know that we

532
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: did get an answer, at least from the head coach.

533
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: Now can always change your mind. We haven't heard from

534
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: the general manager, and I think there was an assumption

535
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: about next season and the seasons after that regarding Kyler Murray.

536
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: But now we actually have Gannon publicly saying yes, he's

537
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: my franchise quarterback. I think some of those without saying

538
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: it specifically Gannon has said as much since he's been

539
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: here is have backed that up. But it still has

540
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: been a question that I get a lot on Cardinal

541
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: Talk because there's a section of the fan base that

542
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: no matter what Kyler does, they don't want him around.

543
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: But I think what we've seen over these seven games

544
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: soon to be eight, I think those questions that we

545
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: had going into this season coming off the ACL is

546
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: he the guy? I think Kyler is the guy moving forward.

547
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: I agree. I don't think there's a question about whether

548
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 3: or not Kyler Murray's or franchise quarterback moving forward. He

549
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: seems to fit what this staff wants on the field

550
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 3: in terms of his skill set, and honestly, if you

551
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: didn't have Kyler Murray, you would be looking for the

552
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: same type of attributes in any quarterback, somebody with the

553
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: deep ball, accuracy, with the power, with the ability to

554
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 3: use his legs and scramble and be tough to take down.

555
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: Those are all attributes that Kyler Murray has, So even

556
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: if he weren't your quarterback, you'd be looking for those

557
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: in somebody else. I do think that what you have

558
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: seen from Kyler the last couple of weeks, really this

559
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 3: Eagles game, are the things you want to see from

560
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: your quarterback. The leadership, the trust, the accuracy, all of

561
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: those things. And I think when you're looking this season

562
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: as a whole, even when he was rehabbing a lot

563
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: of the flack that he gets about leadership and things

564
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: like that, it has not looked like that this year.

565
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: And it doesn't seem disingenuous. It seems real. It really

566
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 3: does seem like Kyler has taken that next step. So

567
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: I guess I could understand why people would have a flack,

568
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 3: but like, honestly not really at this point, like he's

569
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 3: doing the things that you would want from your quarterback,

570
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: and you can tell that he is trusting his receivers

571
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: and he is helping them get open more. I just

572
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: think that there's really not a question. I do think too,

573
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: even if you're gung ho on Kyler Murray not being

574
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: your quarterback, he can get you some wins and lead

575
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: you to the playoffs in the next couple of years,

576
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: and you can still you'll build around him or you know,

577
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: build the team in other areas you need. To me,

578
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: quarterback is like the bottom of what you would need

579
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: to dress in the draft or the off season. Like

580
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: I just I personally don't really think there's a question

581
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 3: of whether or not Kyler Murray's your quarterback moving forward.

582
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: I truly believe Jonathan Gannon when he says that.

583
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: It's the easiest path to success or get back into

584
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: the postseason if you're the Cardinals moving forward is build

585
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: around Kyler Murray, not start over from scratch. And that

586
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: was the discussion even before this season. But I think

587
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: at least for me, I needed to see it, and

588
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: that was starting Week ten with the Atlanta Falcons game,

589
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: and then moving forward. Has Kyler changed as a person?

590
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: I think he has. I think we've seen that on

591
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: the field, off the field, addressing the media, how he's

592
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: handled himself. He's much more comfortable, confident in himself and

593
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: then it's okay the production. Don't look at the FN

594
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: twelve three and four the season. I keep saying this.

595
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannat doesn't believe it. But the season began Week

596
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: ten when Kyler Murray stepped into that huddle at State

597
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: Farm Stadium. Since then, three and four not great. But

598
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: you put pieces around him, put more talent around them,

599
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: especially at the wide receiver position. Find some defensive pieces

600
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: I and edge rusher, maybe a quarterback who knows what

601
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: this team can do. And we've already seen Kyler lead

602
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: this team in the postseason once. There's no reason why

603
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: he can't do it again. Just look at the rest

604
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: of the NFC quarterbacks, not AFC, just round the rest

605
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: of the NFC quarterbacks. There are not many quarterbacks that

606
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: you would take over Kyler Murray.

607
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: I agree, one hundred percent. I agree to me like

608
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 3: there is no question he has shown you enough on

609
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 3: and off the field to prove that he is the

610
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 3: quarterback you want to build around. And I also think

611
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: he's the type of quarterback this coaching staff wants in

612
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 3: their system. I do. I think his ability to scramble

613
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: and have designed runs, his ability with the accurate deep Ball.

614
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: I just think he fits what this staff wants.

615
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of quarterbacks, you see who's starting

616
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday against the Bengals. Not

617
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, No Jeff driscoll. Hey couldn't see the field

618
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals. But goes from the practice squad

619
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Browns and now Week eighteen starter and

620
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: maybe even potentially the backup in the postseason.

621
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: You love to see it.

622
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: That's great. By the way, there's another former Cardinals quarterback

623
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: that's going to be seeing his first start of the

624
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: season coming up on Sunday. This is before you arrive

625
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: here in Arizona, Blaine Gabbert oh twenty seventeen with the Cardinals,

626
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: and he is going to start for the Chiefs on

627
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: Sunday as they take on the Chargers. No Patrick Mahomes Rustyeah, okay,

628
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: might be nice. By the way, the Rams forty nine ers,

629
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: it's an all backup quarterback. It's Carson Wentz and Sam Darnold.

630
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: That'll be fun to watch.

631
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: Huh, you can't watch that. We got Cardinals Seahawks at

632
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: the same time. Okay, I missed that. Sorry, I just

633
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: went right over my head. Yeah, no one cares about

634
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: that game right now? All right, I think the Cardinals

635
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: do it on Sunday, get that first division win.

636
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 3: Oh it gets a divisional opponent. Yeah, I think so.

637
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: I think there is a really good chance that they

638
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: could beat up the Seahawks, truly, I do, which would

639
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: in fact keep Seattle out of the playoffs.

640
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: And that's the extra incentive the players have, incentive for

641
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: personal stats, and then there's just the fan base incentive

642
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: and the organization. Yeah, it'd be nice. You know, the

643
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: NFC West three teams in the postseason. No, just knock

644
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks out of the postseason.

645
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 3: Right well, even if the Seahawks win, they still need

646
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 3: the Packers to lose, correct.

647
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: Correct, and they play the Bears who have won four

648
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: or five. They can also get in with some ties

649
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: and all this, But just eliminate all that. Just beat

650
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and go into this go into the off

651
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: season having won two in a row, and the Cardinals

652
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: four and four under Kyler Murray yew.

653
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 3: Twenty five kickoff fun stuff. I'll be there too. You

670
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: end of the season not to say things like that.

671
