Speaker 2: Here we go one hand to catching a touchdown?

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: Oh baby, how's that fail?

Speaker 1: Rob Frederickson.

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 5: So, once upon a time, gentlemen, this Arizona Cardinals team

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 5: was two and four, and not very many people knew

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 5: what to think about the Cardinals or where they might

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 5: be headed. In twenty twenty four, Fast forward four weeks,

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 5: four straight wins, six wins overall, sole possession of first

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 5: place in the NFC West, half game ahead of the

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 5: forty nine Ers, a game and a half over both

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 5: the Rams and Seahawks, thank you very much the Miami

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 5: Dolphins last night on Monday Night Football. But here we

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 5: are ten weeks into the season, rob and the Cardinals

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 5: have put themselves in a very favorable position the rest.

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 6: Of the way they have and you know, it's it's

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 6: great coming in here after a game and and you know,

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 6: just it's it's difficult to piece together what was most

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 6: impressive from the game Sunday, And really, you know, the

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 6: offense was dialed in, Kyler was dialed in because probably

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 6: one of the best games Kyler's ever played. Defensively, everything

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 6: that they did both against the run and against the

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 6: pass and scoring defense. It's when it's when it's hard

34
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 6: to piece together the best aspect of the game, that's

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 6: when you know you got something going.

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 5: Thirty one to six the final on Sundays, the Cardinals

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 5: ground the Jets and that was an impressive performance. That's

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 5: two straight weeks now, Paul, in which the Cardinals have

39
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 5: gone wire to why are they have not trailed? They

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 5: have blown out the Bears and Jets. This following two

41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 5: end of game scenarios in which the Cardinals needed a

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 5: Chad Rillan field goal to get the victory. So We've

43
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 5: seen a little bit of both, and during this four

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 5: game winning streak.

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 4: You've seen the team approve in so many different ways.

46
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 4: You're seeing a different team now in November than you

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: saw in September. Although you can look at the schedule

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: and you can look at the top ten right of

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: the power rankings, and all four of the teams the

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: Cardinals have lost too are highly rated. Somehow, the Cardinals

51
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: right now are eleventh in the NFL dot Com Power Rankings,

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: behind a Chargers team.

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 6: That they beat.

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: So I'm not really following that one. But you're taking

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: care of the teams that, you know what, uh, you

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: should take care of, like the Bears, the reeling Jets.

57
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 4: You know, I enjoyed after the game, it was Garrett

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: Wilson who said, yeah, the energy is not there because quote,

59
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: we're playing like trash end quote. Well, the Cardinals had

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: a lot to do with that. They schemed it up

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: against Aaron Rodgers and supposedly the guy who's seen everything

62
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: didn't fare so well when, as Jonathan Gannon told us

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: in the postgame radio interview, we threw the bucket at him.

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: And what they were able to dial up and what

65
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: they're capable of doing now with everybody on the same

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: page both sides of the ball, and you're seeing a

67
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: Cardinals team that is certainly getting the most out of

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: its roster, unlike a lot of other teams like, oh,

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, the Jets.

70
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Arizona Cardinals confused, frustrated Aaron Rodgers and that

71
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: Jets offense and the Jets defense as while they had

72
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 5: no answer for Kyler Murray and company. Head coach Jonathan

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 5: Gannon on how well this team is playing right now.

74
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 7: I think the thing that's consistent with our team is

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 7: how we play. I think you got to control yourself first,

76
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 7: and I'm pleased with how we're playing right now. I

77
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 7: talk about that being our motive play, but the effort,

78
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 7: the motor, the finish, the violence, the hitting. I think

79
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 7: there's a way to play this game, and that can

80
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 7: give you a chance to win a bunch of games

81
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 7: if that part is right and everybody's doing it and

82
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 7: all three phases are doing it.

83
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 5: The mistakes this team was making early in the season,

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 5: whether it was penalties or miscommunication because assignments were blown

85
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 5: on one side or the other, those have been corrected

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: and this team is now overcoming some of those mistakes

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 5: when they happen, I e. Penalties because it's hard to

88
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 5: be penalty free. But instead of those penalties rob hurting

89
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: the team and not being able to get past that,

90
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 5: Cardinals are saying, all right, that's okay. Now it's second

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 5: and long. We'll take care of that and keep the

92
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 5: drive going, or defensively get off the field on third down.

93
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think you can go back to the Green

94
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 6: Bay game, right, and the penalties and just everything that

95
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 6: seemed to happen to the Cardinals in that game was

96
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 6: really an anomaly. That's not Cardinals football. What you saw

97
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 6: into display Sunday against the New York Jets, that that

98
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 6: is Cardinals football, where you know you don't give up

99
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 6: a touchdown. They haven't given up a touchdown in three

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 6: of the last four games defensively, and they hold Aaron

101
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 6: Rodgers and Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, they hold them

102
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 6: to three point four yards per attempt. Really, really, Garrett,

103
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 6: Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams were non factors in this game.

104
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 6: And and for the youth, the young cornerbacks, if theirs

105
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 6: on Cards, to me, that's that's the most telling thing.

106
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 6: From this game. To take away from this game is

107
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 6: just the way Garrett Williams and and Starling Thomas, Max Melton,

108
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 6: even Rabbit Taylor Demerson. The way those young guys played

109
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 6: no mistackles. I mean, they may have completed some passes,

110
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 6: but they were right there to make the tackle for

111
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 6: no yards after catch. That to me was was really

112
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 6: one of the most impressive things from that game.

113
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: Because rob true or false, you can't dial it up.

114
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: You can't quote throw the bucket at Aaron Rodgers unless

115
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: your corners are reliable. Your corners are excelling. You can

116
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 4: trust your corners. Once you can trust your corners, then

117
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: you can dial up the other nine guys.

118
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, you can dial up the blitz, but you

119
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 6: got to know that ball is coming out quick and

120
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 6: it did. But again, just the tackling, the sure tackling

121
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 6: capabilities of those young corners and safeties, that to me

122
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 6: was the difference because you juxtapose it with what happened

123
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 6: on the other side of the ball in the New

124
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 6: York Jets secondary and they're tackling or lack of tackling.

125
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 6: What the Arizona Cardinals were able to do in terms

126
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 6: of yards after contact yards after catch. That really was

127
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 6: the difference in the game.

128
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: Think about it. The game before for the Jets, you

129
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 4: had Garrett Wilson and DeVante Adams. They combined for sixteen catches,

130
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 4: a buck eighty one and three touchdowns into Rob's point.

131
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 4: Against the Cardinals, DeVonta Adams had six catch for thirty

132
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: one yards, non factor. Garrett Wilson five catches for forty

133
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: one yards, no touchdowns. So what you see is a

134
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 4: coaching staff that identifies what we have to do to

135
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: beat you. Both offensively, what we're gonna run based on

136
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: what you're showing us, and then defensively, okay, how are

137
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: they beating teams. We're gonna take away what they do

138
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: best and force them to play left handed, and the

139
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: Cardinals have been really effective doing that lately.

140
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 5: And it's because of that that this team is now

141
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 5: won four in a row. They have earned a much

142
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 5: deserved bye week. But at the same time, you don't

143
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 5: want to, as Jonathan Gannon said on Monday, detach from

144
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 5: the game. Here's Kyler Murray on the team heading into

145
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 5: the bye week.

146
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 8: Now satisfied, I think again, I told y'all what last week.

147
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 8: I feel like our record could be better than this.

148
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 8: I feel like I expected to be here. I feel

149
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 8: like the team expected to be here. So we just

150
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 8: got to keep going.

151
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 5: The only people, Paul that might be surprised by the

152
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals right now through ten games are everyone outside

153
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: of this belt because more and more attention is now

154
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 5: being placed on this team, not locally about them, talking

155
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: nationally in the talking heads and the national columnists and

156
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 5: the TV shows. The Cardinals put themselves again. When you

157
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: are leading the division ten games into the season, it

158
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 5: doesn't matter if it's a one game lead or a

159
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 5: five game lead. You are atop the division, meaning you

160
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: are guaranteed a home game for the first round of

161
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 5: the playoffs. And right now the Cardinals are the four

162
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 5: seed and would host the Minnesota Vikings.

163
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 4: You know, after the Bears win, we asked Omaro deMercado

164
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: postgame radio just about the winning streak and the turnaround

165
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: and the confidence level, and he sighted the locker room,

166
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: and then Mac Wilson Senior after the game said, and

167
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 4: I quote, I've never been on a team like this

168
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 4: besides college where everybody is just dialed in. So this

169
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 4: team is most definitely greater than the sum of the

170
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: hole is greater than the parts, and it just is

171
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: one of those teams where he sees so many other

172
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 4: teams splintering and just getting destroyed from the inside out.

173
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: The Cardinals are just the opposite. And I think one

174
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: of the driving force this is just me, is that

175
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 4: when you realize that you have an elite quarterback, everybody

176
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 4: is that much more dialed in and on board because

177
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: you need that guy, and you don't need the best

178
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 4: roster in the league if you have that guy at

179
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 4: that position. And the way Kyler's been playing, to go

180
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: twenty to or twenty four and to beat teams with

181
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 4: his arm and his legs and now with his mind,

182
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 4: I think that just brings further juice to that locker

183
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: room knowing, Okay, we have the quarterback who can lead

184
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 4: us into the postseason.

185
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 5: Everyone is uplifted by Kyler's performance because it begins and

186
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: it ends with your starting quarterback. You have a quarterback,

187
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 5: you have a chance. You don't have a quarterback, you

188
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 5: don't have a chance. And Kyler has put this team

189
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 5: in more favorable chances so far this season.

190
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 6: Well he has, and you know, only throwing the ball

191
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 6: twenty four times. That to me is impressive. It means that, yeah,

192
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 6: you know, everyone's galvanized around Kyler because you know, he

193
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 6: is the franchise quarterback. He is the star of the team.

194
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 6: But we don't need him to be awesome every game

195
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 6: in order for this team to win. They've found other

196
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 6: ways to win, other ways to play winning football, running

197
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 6: the football with James Connor and Benson and just everything

198
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 6: they're able to do on the ground game and the

199
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 6: play action game that comes off of it, and to

200
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 6: Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Junior. Everybody is really picking

201
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 6: up and elevating their game so the Kyler doesn't have

202
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 6: to throw it forty fifty times a game in order

203
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 6: for the Cardinals to win.

204
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: It is a very confident football team heading to the

205
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 5: bye week. Trey McBride on where this team is at

206
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 5: right now.

207
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 9: I feel like we're one play away from beating the Bills.

208
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 9: You know, week one, we had a couple really close

209
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 9: games early on, and you know, we had a couple

210
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 9: mishaps as well. So I feel like we're really close

211
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 9: early on and we were just missing it by a

212
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 9: little bit. And then now, you know, we kind of

213
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 9: get rolling a little bit. You know, now we're winning

214
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 9: three four in a row, and just continue and expect

215
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 9: that to happen and continue to happen because the work

216
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 9: we put in in the process that we have has

217
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 9: been very effective.

218
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 5: You look at two of those four losses, Paul, and

219
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 5: again you don't want to discount what happened against the

220
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 5: Commanders and the Packers, but that seems more like the

221
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: exception rather than norm. But again Week one in Buffalo,

222
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 5: late fourth quarter, defense got off the field twice. It

223
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 5: was a one score deficit, offense not able to get

224
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 5: the job done. And then a tight game against the

225
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 5: Detroit Lions. You might have had one of the better

226
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 5: performances against the Lions this season. Now, was a very

227
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 5: physical matchup, but it was a close contest and you

228
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 5: were right there, stride for stride and just not able

229
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: to overcome the Lions talent.

230
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, that Lions game was one of four times this

231
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: year the Cardinals defense has pitched a shutout in the

232
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: second half.

233
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 6: Think about that.

234
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 4: The Lions just beat Houston after throwing five interceptions. So

235
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 4: what you did to the Lions, many teams, if any,

236
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 4: of this year, have been able to accomplish. Here's the

237
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 4: thing about the Cardinals two in the offense, right and

238
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 4: it's such a stark difference from week one, and you

239
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: talk about that Bill's where the Cardinals offense is now,

240
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon telling the media yesterday, Yeah, we're trying to

241
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: figure out where the miscommunication came in one of our

242
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: two incompletions, you went twenty two or twenty four. And

243
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 4: the perfectionist that is Jonathan Gannon, he was a little

244
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 4: ticked by the fact that, you know what we should

245
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: it should have been twenty three or twenty four because

246
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: we had a miscommunication and we're gonna figure that out.

247
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: We're going to get that correct. And meanwhile, other teams

248
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 4: like Chicago has gone twenty three straight drives without a touchdown.

249
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 4: So you just see the stark difference in coaching and

250
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 4: how far along the Cardinals are. Then a lot of

251
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 4: teams in the NFL right.

252
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 5: Now, and it's a head coach rob that will hold

253
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 5: everyone accountable himself, his fellow coaches, and then everyone in

254
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 5: that locker room, regardless of what your name or salary

255
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 5: might be.

256
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 6: That's the standard that he set. That's the culture. And

257
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 6: when you go into those film reviews on Monday, you

258
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 6: already know what's going to happen if if there was

259
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 6: a play and players do this, they recount every play

260
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 6: at the game. You go through it and you already

261
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 6: know the next play. I kind of loafed her. I

262
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 6: kind of let off a little bit. He's got Jonathan

263
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 6: Gannon's gonna hold you accountable. He is going to let

264
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 6: everybody know and put the little red dot on you.

265
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,960

00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 5: We'll discuss Kyler Murray next on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

270
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 3: Urray under center takes his play action at boot to

271
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: the left and Burry gonna keep it. He walks into

272
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 3: the end zone for a touchdown. Tyler Murray with maybe

273
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: the easiest touchdown run of his career. Snap to Murray,

274
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: drop straight back a fade right corner of the end zone.

275
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: Harrison hol want a catch for a touchdown. Carbn Harrison

276
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: Junior holes it in the cord, just dropping the bucket

277
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: by Murray.

278
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: Spin the pig.

279
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 6: Kyler the dime being dropped into the buckets right over

280
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 6: the shoulder of Marvin Harrison Junior.

281
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: Snap to Murray and he's gonna keep it running right

282
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: to the outside.

283
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: Ten stays in bounds with the five and into the

284
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: end zone for a second touchdown, but he takes the

285
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: football and hoists it into the casino. Kyler Murray a

286
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: dominant performance here today and it's thirty to six Arizona.

287
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 5: Three total touchdowns by Kyler Murray, one passing, two rushing.

288
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: That second one you heard Dave Pash on the play

289
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: by play, that twelve yard run in which Kyler kind

290
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 5: of really dialed it back down at about what the

291
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: five yard line and kind of just coasted over those

292
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 5: last four yards into the end zone. Final score on Sunday,

293
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 5: Cardinals thirty one Jets six says we continue here on

294
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 5: the Cardinals Red Seat Report, Craig Reiolupaul Calvici, and Rod

295
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 5: Frederickson talk looking about what the offense did rob against

296
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 5: a Jets defense that look going into the game, according

297
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 5: to head coach Jonathan Gannon had star at each stars

298
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 5: at all three levels, and there was, yes, what are

299
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,359
Speaker 5: you gonna do with that pass rush? And that secondary.

300
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 5: Yet what does Kyler do two hundred and sixty six

301
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 5: yards only two incompletions, four hundred plus total yards of offense,

302
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 5: and you didn't have a lot of James Connor running

303
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 5: the football. It was Trey Benson getting most of those carries.

304
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, and one of the weaknesses of the New York

305
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 6: Jets defense coming into the game was maybe their rush defense.

306
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 6: They were kind of not really living up to expectations

307
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 6: as far as as that component, and the Cardinals were

308
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 6: able to take advantage of that. They were able to

309
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 6: rip off some long runs. And look, you run the

310
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 6: ball thirty two times in a game for one hundred

311
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 6: and forty seven yards, you know that sets up Kyler

312
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 6: Murray in this offense to do other things. You only

313
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 6: passed twenty four times, but yet you know, the play

314
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 6: action pass was again humming, just very effective and efficient.

315
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 6: And Trey Benson, you know, it is really good to

316
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 6: see him get some more reps and and really show

317
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 6: what he can do because James Connor, look, he's gonna

318
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 6: need some time where where, some series where he needs

319
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 6: a rest, you know, and he needs to maybe, you know,

320
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 6: just sit on the sidelines and allow Trey Benson to

321
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: do his thing and and it's it's it's it's encouraging

322
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 6: to see a guy like Trey Benson get more confident

323
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 6: and have some success.

324
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 5: And I know, Paul, I want you to mention what

325
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: happened on the sideline during what Trey Benson was doing.

326
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 5: But postgame, asked about Trey Benson, James Connor, his face

327
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: lit up. He is so excited for this young player

328
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: who maybe one day takes his job. Yet at the

329
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 5: same time, I think James understands that having two running

330
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: backs is most beneficial for this team in the long run.

331
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 5: And then, Paul, you had the great view on the

332
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 5: sideline watching behind James Connor, watching Trey Benson do his stuff.

333
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: It was like a dad in the stands at a

334
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: little game.

335
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: Really.

336
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: I mean, he's up and he's on the white strike,

337
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 4: nobody's in front of him, and he's got a full view,

338
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: and he's been over with his hands on his knees,

339
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 4: and he's sort of moving as Trey Benson's moving, and

340
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 4: he's sort of living every single cut. And then when

341
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 4: Trey Benson's feeding it to guys and refusing to go

342
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: down and refusing to go out of bounds, He's just

343
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 4: pumping his fist and yelling, and you realize, wow, I mean,

344
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 4: just how vested he is in the rookie running back

345
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 4: living vicariously through him and join every single yard. And

346
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: it was interesting to hear Jeff Olbrik, the interim head

347
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 4: coach and defensive coordinator of the Jets, say later after

348
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 4: the game that they did a whole tackling presentation quote

349
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: unquote on James Connor on Friday before the game. So

350
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 4: when you saw Kyler in the touchdown run on the

351
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 4: zone read where he pulled it because the entire defense

352
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 4: crashed on James Connor, I mean he is getting the

353
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 4: full attention of all eleven dudes on that side of

354
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: the ball. Yes, he only had a dozen carries for

355
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 4: thirty three yards, but the Card use that against the

356
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 4: Jets on the touchdown run. They use it against the

357
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 4: Jets in a lot of the pass plays, play action,

358
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 4: Drew Pets and Kyler Murray doing a really good job

359
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: of using that attend defensive assets and attention put against

360
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 4: James Connor against that defense and making them pay in

361
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 4: other ways.

362
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 5: Connor led the team in receiving yards with eighty one

363
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 5: hundred and thirteen yards from scrimmage for James Connor and

364
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 5: again that passing game, Kyler Murray twenty two of twenty

365
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 5: four for two hundred and sixty six yards and one touchdown,

366
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: which went to Marvin Harrison Junior K one postgame, talking

367
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 5: about the success of the passing game.

368
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 8: Guys did a hell of the job upfront. My job

369
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 8: just put the ball in their hands and let them

370
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 8: do what they do, you know, and try to get completions.

371
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 8: You know, that's what I did today. I'll try to

372
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 8: just keep it as simple as possible. And the guys,

373
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 8: you know, they made plays that made plays for me

374
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 8: all day. And it's great to go out there and

375
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 8: feel the way we felt today, you know, to be

376
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 8: able to execute. We had a good day today offensively.

377
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 5: By the way, it needs to be mentioned as well,

378
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 5: Rob that that was going into the week, the Jets

379
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 5: were ranked number two against the pass, and you wouldn't

380
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 5: have known that watching what Kyler Murray was able to

381
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 5: do on Sunday afternoon.

382
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, And you know, it's interesting about the Cardinals offense

383
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 6: and maybe just their overall philosophy offensively personnel wise. A

384
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 6: lot of multiple tight end sets, right, and so there's

385
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 6: going to be limited opportunities for targets for some of

386
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 6: these receivers on this team, Michael Wilson and Greg George specifically.

387
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 6: You kind of think of those guys because you know,

388
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison Junior, and Trey McBride and James Connor. You know,

389
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 6: in the screen game we got to talk about that

390
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 6: he was the leading receiver, but that screen game was

391
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 6: really on point Sunday. But those guys are going to

392
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 6: get the lion's share of the targets of the reps.

393
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 6: And so for these other guys when they have very

394
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 6: limited targets, for them to be effective and successful is important,

395
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 6: and it's important to keep them in the game mentally.

396
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 6: But I don't see any cracks because I see a

397
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 6: selflessness to this team overall, and that's part of the

398
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 6: culture where, you know what, they're just as happy to

399
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 6: spring a big block for James Connor even though they

400
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 6: might not be really featured in the passing game. Just

401
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 6: the selflessness of these skilled position players on offense for

402
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 6: the Cardinals. Is it to me? Is it much to

403
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 6: do with the success as anything?

404
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 4: So are we saying Kyler Murray is a game manager?

405
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: Is that what Kyler said, can we I mean, what

406
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 4: do we at this point? Just get the ball out,

407
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 4: Get the ball to your playmakers, your difference makers, let

408
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 4: them run with it. I mean, the Cardinals put this out.

409
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 4: All four of Trey McBride's catches came in either second

410
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: or third and long second and eight. He went for

411
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 4: eighteen third and seven, he went for seventeen third and ten,

412
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 4: he went for thirteen second and eight, he went for

413
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 4: twenty three yards. So there's different options at different times

414
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 4: to keep the defense honest. And then you know just

415
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 4: just the tenacity and velocity with which the Cardinals are playing.

416
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 4: I asked Jonathan Inannan after the game physicality, what'd you think?

417
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 4: And he was adamant, Yeah, we won, we won. We

418
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 4: checked that box. We won in physicality. And then after

419
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: the game when Jeff Oulbrick said we had a quote

420
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 4: an egregious criminal amount of mistackles, well that had every

421
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: bit as much to do with how hard the Cardinals

422
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 4: were playing as to how poor the tackling was by

423
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 4: the Jets defense. I believe the stat from next Gen

424
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 4: Stats was twenty yes tackles by the Jets on Sunday afternoon,

425
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 4: So that is again You're not gonna win a lot

426
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 4: of games, if any, when you're missing that many tackles.

427
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 4: And maybe the most egregious was the sauce gardener on

428
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 4: Trey McBride five yards before the sticks. McBride get off

429
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 4: me exactly and then hurdles a defender and all of

430
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 4: a sudden, the drive continues and that's when Marvin gets

431
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: the touchdown reception from Kyler Murray. So yeah, it's not

432
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: going down on first contact.

433
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, Trey McBride just another hurdle. Hey, this

434
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 6: guy's like Edwin Moses in the LA Olympics. Paul, you

435
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 6: remember that, Actually, sadly I do. I just, I mean,

436
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 6: he's so explosive, Trey McBride, and he's just his ability

437
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: with yards after catch is amazing. But it was team wide, right,

438
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 6: you mentioned it, twenty miss tackles. That's not just poor

439
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 6: tackling by the New York Jets. That's the Arizona Cardinals

440
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 6: having that effect on them by you know, either running

441
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 6: over guys or juking them and making them miss at

442
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 6: ball placement has a lot to do with it. Two,

443
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 6: I saw a few plays where Kyler Murray, you know,

444
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 6: maybe it looked like he threw behind receiver. No, he's

445
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 6: throwing them to purposefully turn that way to avoid the

446
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 6: zone defender. That's about ready to lay lay out the receiver.

447
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 6: So this is this is clicking on all cylinders right now. Offensively,

448
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 6: it's fun to watch.

449
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: And for the head coach postgame with you Paul some

450
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 5: high praise for his starting quarterback.

451
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 10: I haven't seen all the others, but if there is

452
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 10: a better player on the planet, you better show me,

453
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 10: because I thought he was the best player on the

454
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 10: planet today.

455
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 5: Well, on Sunday, Kyler Murray did something no player in

456
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 5: NFL history had ever done. Complete at least eighty five

457
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 5: percent of his passes with two hundred and fifty passing

458
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 5: yards and two rushing touchdowns. And maybe the best stat

459
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 5: of the afternoon Rob was the fact that Kyler Murray

460
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 5: had as many rushing touchdowns as he had incompletions.

461
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 6: In that game. Oh that's impressive. And you know, Kyler

462
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 6: wasn't really featured as a runner. There weren't a ton

463
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 6: of designed run plays for Kyler, but they had the

464
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: option right and as Paul mentioned, the Jets were so focused,

465
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 6: so focused on James Connor and not allowing him to

466
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 6: really have any success that they were selling out, they

467
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 6: were crashing down the defensive ends. Kyler, Kyler saw that

468
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 6: and you know, made the most out of those plays.

469
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 6: And Kyler's really good at knowing when to get down.

470
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 6: He did get hit pretty hard in this game, and well,

471
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 6: I'm sure we'll talk about that, but he's pretty good

472
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 6: at self preservation and he did that again Sunday.

473
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I want to go all Ron Wolfley basin onions,

474
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 4: here's what I want you to do. I want you

475
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: to go out into your local crosswalk, okay, and I

476
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: want your neighbor to get their suv going at about

477
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 4: twenty five miles an hour, And that's what it looked

478
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 4: like when he got hit, and maybe even fifty miles

479
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 4: an hour.

480
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 7: That was.

481
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 4: That is one of the most hillatious and frightening hits

482
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 4: I've seen field level ever. And the entire sideline, the

483
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 4: entire stadium, you guys know, went silent until he got up,

484
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 4: shook it off, had that wry smile in his face like, Okay,

485
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 4: everyone connect sale now because wow, was at a hilash.

486
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 6: So did he hang onder the ball? That's what I

487
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 6: don't understand.

488
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 4: Well, he did lose it momentarily, and to his account,

489
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 4: as he's fallen and he kind of got his senses back,

490
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 4: he reached for the football and covered it back up again.

491
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: But yeah, how he kept the ball, but the helmet

492
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 4: went flying. It was quite the paradigm there.

493
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 5: The toughness Kyler showed on that play. Specifically, Rob you

494
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 5: played in the game that locker room, A play like that,

495
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 5: A response like that again, you lead a touchdown drive

496
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 5: after that hit, You get up, all right, all good,

497
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 5: let's go.

498
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 6: What does that mean?

499
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 5: What does that say to everyone else in the locker room?

500
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 6: I think they already know it. They know that that

501
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 6: Kyler's a baller. They know that, you know, he's their

502
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 6: guy and he's a dog, and so that play kind

503
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 6: of just codified it solidified it that you know, this

504
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 6: is this is our dude, and uh, you know Kyler

505
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 6: to get up and and kind of shake it off

506
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 6: and smile and you know, chat a little bit with

507
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 6: the ref there. I saw it. You know, it's just

508
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 6: amazing number one, because that that hit was huge and

509
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 6: that that could have really done some damage. And you know,

510
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 6: Kyler's lucky in that respect, but tough, tough as nails.

511
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: And you saw James Connor the very next play. He

512
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: ran it for seven yards, and he ran it hard.

513
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 4: He stoked it. You could tell he was a little

514
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 4: extra fired up after his quarterback got jack stomped, and

515
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 4: that that was the only run on the entire drive.

516
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 4: Kyler went back to throwing dimes and that drive ended

517
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 4: with the Marvin Harrison Junior touchdown fade right on the money, right.

518
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 5: Over the shoulder.

519
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 4: I mean, played a really good game. And again, I

520
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 4: just think when you see the quarterback balling like that,

521
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 4: you see the offense ascending like that. Kyler telling the

522
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 4: media after the game there wasn't anything that the Jets

523
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 4: could bring that he didn't feel confident against. If he's

524
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 4: seeing the field like that and reading defenses and coverage

525
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 4: like that combined with his skill set, look out.

526
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 5: Kyler on that drive, the third scoring drive of the game,

527
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 5: eight of eight for seventy yards, and we know he

528
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 5: finished without a completion an incompletion seventeen straight completions to

529
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 5: finish the game. That is a franchise record, one more

530
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 5: than Carson Palmer had over two games. So we'll see

531
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 5: when the Cardinals are next in action how much further

532
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 5: that Kyler can extend that run. But again, Kyler Murray

533
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 5: is playing some very good football. Here's his tight end,

534
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 5: Trey McBride.

535
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 9: Elite man. The guy is zoned in, he's locked in.

536
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 9: You know, you can just tell he's got that look

537
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 9: in his eye. And when he's in that mode, he's unstoppable.

538
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 9: You know, I'm kind of irritated I dropped that ball

539
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 9: in the end zone. He could have had a you know,

540
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 9: almost a dang perfect game besides that first play. So

541
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 9: that makes me sick that I dropped that ball for him.

542
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 9: But he's playing at a really high level right now.

543
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 9: I'm excited for him, and I'm excited to continue to

544
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 9: grow with him again.

545
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 5: Two incompletions. The one the first play from scrimmage called

546
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 5: deep shot to Michael Wilson in which it was overthrown

547
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 5: to your point, Paul, some miscommunication, and then Trey talking

548
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 5: about the touchdown would be touchdown in the first quarter

549
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 5: where it was off his fingertips, And that goes back

550
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 5: to all right, Okay, two incompletions, pretty good day. Let's

551
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 5: figure out what didn't work well on those two incompletions

552
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 5: to improve for next week.

553
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 6: I mean, if you're really gonna micro analyze those two incompletions,

554
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 6: you know something went right on Sunday if that's going

555
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 6: to be your focus in film review. But I get

556
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 6: the point. You know, when you win games, you got

557
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 6: to bring guys down a notch. You got to really

558
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 6: grind them on the small things, the little things, vice versa.

559
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 6: When you lose a game, you got to kind of

560
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 6: pump them up. But you know, two incompletions, that's that's amazing.

561
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 6: And the second one, the would be touchdown to Trade McBride.

562
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 6: That'd some heat on that pass, would have been an

563
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 6: unbelievable catch, but you know it was a catchbaw ball.

564
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 6: So Kyler Murray was in his own there's no doubt

565
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 6: about it. And we've seen a few of those from

566
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 6: him this year, and Sunday was certainly one of those

567
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: games where you know, hundred and twenty seven QBR just

568
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 6: an amazing performance from Kyler Murray. Think about it.

569
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: He's thrown three interceptions all year, correct, Geno Smith threw

570
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 4: three interceptions in the Seahawks last game. That's your next opponent,

571
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 4: and two of those were in the red zone. Kyler's

572
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 4: been playing really quality football, smart football, protecting the football

573
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: and just doing a great job of spreading around seven

574
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 4: different receiving.

575
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 5: Targets in the first half alone.

576
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 4: And so that Kyler's play combined with Drew Petsen, who

577
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 4: got props from yelled to Froholt, he was getting props

578
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 4: from a lot of guys in that locker room for

579
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 4: having a diverse really a variety of play calls and strategies.

580
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 4: Just everything seems to be clicking right now and the

581
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 4: Cardinals ascending as you near December.

582
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 5: So that's the offense defense and what they've done now

583
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 5: for three of the last four games. As we continue

584
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 5: here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report, we put our

585
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 5: attention on the defense. Next here on the Arizona Cardinals

586
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 5: Radio network.

587
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: Rogers backpedaling from the pocket and Rogers is sacked. The

588
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: ball came out Rogers, I ain't got it back. Luketta

589
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: with a sack and that force is a punt. How

590
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: about that surprise, Jesse Lukett.

591
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 3: Rogers drops back in trouble, moving left, gets hit from behind,

592
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: ball plutters, it's loose and recovered by the Cardinals at

593
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 3: the ten savior Thomas hacking it out, recovered by Heizier White.

594
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: The rookie made a plage savior Thomas Rodgers takes the

595
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: snap blitz coming.

596
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 3: Rodgers has no chance, sacked by Fooda Baker for a loss.

597
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 4: Of eight at the forty yard live Fuda Baker came

598
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: off the edge cleave and Aaron Rodgers got his back waxed.

599
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: Been a little while since Boode Baker recorded a sec.

600
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 5: You have to go all the way back to the

601
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one season, the last time that happened. And

602
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 5: by the way that Xavier Thomas strip sack that takeaway,

603
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 5: Cardinals actually did something that never done this season. And

604
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 5: then to score a touchdown after a takeaway after that takeaway,

605
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray a twelve yard touchdown run to put the

606
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 5: finishing touchdown, finishing touches on what was a thirty one

607
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 5: to six win over the New York Jets. On Sundays,

608
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 5: we continue here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report, Greg

609
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 5: Realupaul Calvic and rod Frederickson talking about a defense rob

610
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 5: that on Sunday. Three sacks last two weeks, nine total

611
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 5: sacks different quarterbacks, Caleb Williams versus Aaron Rodgers. But again,

612
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 5: you're getting home, which is a question we had coming

613
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 5: into this season.

614
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, getting home, getting pressure on the quarterback has really

615
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 6: been an area of need for this Arizona Cardinals defense

616
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 6: for the entire season. And you know, when you look

617
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 6: back at the injuries that the Cardinals have had on

618
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 6: the defensive line, you get you know, bj Ojalai to

619
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 6: start the season, and then Justin Jones, Ballal Nichols guard deck,

620
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 6: Dennis guard deck. Yeah, and note Darius Robinson. These are

621
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 6: all starters. Those were all starters. And so now you're

622
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 6: coming at things from a position of depth, and you're

623
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 6: kind of filling the gap, filling in positions, and you're

624
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 6: getting amazing, amazing effort and and you're just some great

625
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 6: productivity from guys. You're starting to see Xavier Thomas. I mean,

626
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 6: he's a guy that just flashes when he's out there,

627
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 6: when he's passed rushing, you can see the get off. Uh,

628
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 6: it's different from everyone else. And and Baron Browning is

629
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 6: it was good to see him in Cardinals uniform.

630
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 7: Uh.

631
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 6: You know again he's got a great get off for

632
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 6: those edge guys. But the guys inside really, you know,

633
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 6: when you think about these kind of these role players,

634
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 6: they're really stepping up and playing well Dante Stills, and

635
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 6: and Luketta and and and l J. Collier, these Xavin

636
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 6: Collins right, a lot of times, you know, you think

637
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 6: of him as being an outside edge rusher. They're moving

638
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 6: him inside a lot now and he's really he's really

639
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 6: been effective, especially when they when they do a game

640
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 6: with with him and and maybe the outside rusher there

641
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 6: and they're bringing things different ways. Nick Rolis is downing

642
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 6: up some blitzes talk about the cornerbacks really having to

643
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 6: hold up. But they're doing some things up front, manufacturing,

644
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 6: scheming their way to getting pressure on the quarterback. And

645
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 6: that's something that, as much as anything, has had a

646
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 6: lot of impact for this defense.

647
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, saman Collins talked about that on the recent Big

648
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 4: Red Rage. Right, he'll be outside, he'll be playing three technique,

649
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden he's got to get deep

650
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 4: middle and cover center field. They're using them all over

651
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 4: the place. He's definitely an X factor. But you're right,

652
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: it was impressive what they were able to do. You know,

653
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 4: the word on Aaron Rodgers was okay, he's the ultimate

654
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 4: quarterback who likes to control the game. Well, the Cardinals

655
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 4: defense said, you're not the boss of us. Because a

656
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 4: lot of defenses. You talk to guys in the locker room,

657
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 4: they say, you know what, teams scare themselves out of

658
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 4: blitzeeing Aaron Rodgers because he's seen everything right everybody now right,

659
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 4: He's gonna know exactly what's coming. You're not gonna fool

660
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: or trick them, but you can speed them up. And

661
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 4: the Cardinals did that effectively, did they not? And by

662
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 4: the way, on the Xavier Thomas stripsack who flushed Baron Browning,

663
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 4: he got a really got like to your point, he

664
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 4: got off the ball instantly and he created some pressure

665
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 4: in that in that pocket, and then Rogers had a

666
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:09,959
Speaker 4: run for his life.

667
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 6: A couple of.

668
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 5: Pressures from Baron Browning, who played eighteen snaps on Sunday,

669
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 5: part of a defense that held the Jets to a

670
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 5: season low as far as total yards, net, passing yards

671
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 5: and points plus zero of three in the red zone.

672
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 5: Head coach Jonathan Gannon on what he saw from this defense.

673
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 10: When you come into a game like this and you

674
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 10: prepare for a quarterback of that caliber, with the weapons

675
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 10: that they have, you never know how it's kind of

676
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 10: gonna go. I thought they really stepped up. I like

677
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 10: to plan a lot, and it was well executed. And

678
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 10: a bunch of guys are making plays, and I thought

679
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 10: our motive play was on display. Man like, we'll grade

680
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 10: the tape hard, but there's not gonna be a lot

681
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,479
Speaker 10: of loafs our. Guys are humming, they're hitting. The hitting

682
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 10: is on display. When you do that, you'll give yourself

683
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 10: a chance.

684
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 5: Ben, but don't break. We hear it often. But that's

685
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 5: what this Cardinals defense has done the last couple of weeks,

686
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 5: back to back games in which they have allowed fewer

687
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 5: than ten points, and in three of their last four

688
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 5: home games they have not allowed a touchdown. That has

689
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 5: not happened since nineteen twenty six as far as three

690
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 5: straight home games and Arizona Cardinals, or I should say

691
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 5: a Cardinals franchise team has done something like that. Of course,

692
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 5: when you talk about the defense, you got to talk

693
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 5: about Buddha Baker. What has he seen from this defense.

694
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 11: We just control. We can control. We live through the process,

695
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 11: you know, I tell them, you know, separations in the preparation,

696
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 11: how we prepare throughout the week. So and that's when

697
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 11: we know know what to do on Sunday. We have

698
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 11: fun and we control what we can control take one

699
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 11: play at a time alignment as Simon key technique, and

700
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 11: that's what we do. We're tight knit group. We all

701
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 11: love each other and it's definitely special to come out

702
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 11: on the field and play with these guys.

703
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 5: So I think I'm gonna steal that. I like that

704
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 5: saying separation is the preparation as far as what you

705
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 5: do during the week will separate everyone else from what

706
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 5: we accomplish on Sundays, and so far, the Cardinals have

707
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 5: separated themselves from everyone in the NFC West.

708
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what was the biggest separation was the

709
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 6: top four tacklers for the Arizona Cardinals defensively were all

710
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 6: defensive backs. You know, sometimes you're like, oh man, that's

711
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 6: that's that's probably not good. That means they're running the

712
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 6: ball all over us. Now, that's exact opposite. The Jets

713
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 6: couldn't run the ball seventy nine yards. You know, they

714
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 6: started out the game with a couple of good runs,

715
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 6: gashed us a few times, and I'm like, oh boy,

716
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 6: what's this going to be? Like they tightened it up,

717
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 6: and the reason the defensive backs were the top tacklers was,

718
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 6: you know, they had to throw the ball and and

719
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 6: and they were making the tackles right there if it

720
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 6: was a completed pass. These guys were tackling, a great

721
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 6: tackling by the secondary of the Arizona Cardinals. And again,

722
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 6: you know, it's it's the young guys that are stepping

723
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 6: up and really getting comfortable and confident in their play

724
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 6: on that back end. And that to me is you know,

725
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 6: as as much to do with anything with the success

726
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 6: of the Arizona Cardinals defensively.

727
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 4: On his TV show Game Plan, Jonathan Gannon had mentioned

728
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: the key to the game in his opinion, was one

729
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 4: red zone. Okay, and the Cardinals were four or five,

730
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: whereas a Jets row for three. So defensively, Cardinals were

731
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: excelling in the red zone. Then number two, he said,

732
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 4: when it comes to Aaron Rodgers, I always watch what

733
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 4: happens when he hits his back foot. Is the ball

734
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 4: coming out, is the ball coming out in rhythm, is

735
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 4: the ball coming out in sync timing with the receivers,

736
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 4: or when he hits that backfoot on his drop because

737
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 4: he will change his drop based on the pressure. He

738
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 4: knows enough whether three, five or seven, just based on okay,

739
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: is that pocket collapsing or not and is the ball

740
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 4: coming out and if it's not, you know, that's advantage Cardinals.

741
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 4: And really often in that game, the ball did not

742
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 4: come out when he completed his drop, and he's still looking,

743
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 4: he's still searching, he's trying to extend the play. And

744
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 4: to Rob's point, I think a lot of that had

745
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 4: to do with as Jonathan Gannon says, the quarterback was

746
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 4: seeing color on color Cardinals corners, Cardinals dbs were on

747
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 4: the receiving target and taking away that first option.

748
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 5: Thirty five pass attempts for Aaron Rodgers only completed twenty

749
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 5: two of those. No completion was longer than fifteen yards,

750
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 5: and he finished with a season low, his own personal

751
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 5: season low one hundred and fifty one yards through the air.

752
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 5: Post game, Jesse looketa with you, Paul talking about the

753
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 5: defense overall. Has that unit turned a corner?

754
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 6: I think so.

755
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 12: You know, a lot of people they try to doubt

756
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 12: us at the beginning of the season, in know regarding

757
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 12: the players that we had, But it doesn't matter. We

758
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 12: know what we have within this room and what we

759
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 12: can do when we play together as one and we

760
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 12: play you know, in unisons and play compromision.

761
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 5: Football goes back to what you were saying at the

762
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 5: start of this segment, Rob as far as the number

763
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 5: of players defensively, this team does not have. So guys

764
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 5: are having to play maybe a little bit more seeing

765
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 5: their roles increase. As Jonathan Gannon likes to say, roles

766
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 5: can change at a moment's notice. And a lot of

767
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: those players' roles have changed because the guys have gotten

768
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 5: hurts and then they're figuring out right, we like you

769
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 5: in this position versus this position, and guy I think

770
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 5: are feeling a little more confident in what they're being

771
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 5: asked to do here in week ten versus maybe at

772
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 5: the start of the season.

773
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, when roles change, it reveals a lot, right, You

774
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 6: find out things about players that you know, yeah you knew,

775
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 6: but maybe you forgot about since preseason, or maybe you

776
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 6: know you see them make a nice play on special teams.

777
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 6: But yeah, okay, but when when that role becomes elevated, now,

778
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, you're like, okay, this player is ready.

779
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 6: And you see that on the Cardinals just you know,

780
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 6: you look at guys like Jesse Luketta and Rabbit Taylor

781
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 6: Demerson and just there's a bunch of guys that you know,

782
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 6: when they get their shot, they're gonna make something happen.

783
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 6: And and that to me is speaks to depth on

784
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 6: this roster that they're they're improving the depth through the draft,

785
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 6: and you know, just the overall just culture of this

786
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 6: team and everybody competes every day.

787
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 4: Nine more tackles for Buddha Baker. That's one hundred and

788
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 4: ten games. Star near some of the chatter now NFL

789
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 4: Defensive Player of the Year. If it was considered NFL

790
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 4: Defensive MVP, he'd win in terms of the most valuable

791
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 4: to a defense. If the Cardinals win the division, go

792
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 4: to the playoffs, because you gotta win to get to

793
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 4: win some of these personal awards.

794
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 5: Buddha would be that guy doesn't have a lot of

795
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 5: splash plays, but you talk to opposing teams, they are

796
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 5: well aware of where Number three lines up each and

797
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 5: every play. Cardinals went on Sunday hit the bye week

798
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 5: six and four. This is the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

799
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 13: After review, the runners butt cheek was down on the

800
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 13: ground and the ball was short of the goal line.

801
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 13: As a result, we're gonna put the ball at the

802
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 13: one foot line first down.

803
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 6: You gotta be kidding big.

804
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 3: So referee John Hussey came out and just sat a

805
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: moment ago that James Connor landed on his butt cheek

806
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 3: that's his words, not mine, at the one yard line,

807
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 3: so no touchdown, but it is first and goal on

808
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: the one. He definitely did not step out on the sideline,

809
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 3: but they were looking to see if the ball crossed

810
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 3: and it did not. When the butt cheek, according to

811
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 3: John Hussey, hit the ground.

812
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: What's it the butt seek that actually was contacted the ground?

813
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: Would you would you said tailbone? Would you've preferred that was?

814
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 3: But just say his butt Second and goal on the one,

815
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: same formation Connor the loan back hurry takes give to

816
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: Connor this time in easily straight ahead for the touchdown.

817
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: Great start to the game for Arizona.

818
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 14: Here's Paul all right, so the leader in the clubhouse

819
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 14: for tweeted the day early in the game, long way

820
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 14: to go. But Darren urbansweet nine and I quote James

821
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 14: Connor and his butt cheeks run it in from the

822
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 14: one yard line and now the Arizona Cardinals are in

823
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 14: the league.

824
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 5: That was That was interesting, very descriptive by the way

825
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 5: by referee John Huss which we all appreciate. Yet it

826
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 5: did take a touchdown off the board for Kyler Murray.

827
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 5: James Connor did run it in as opposed to catch

828
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 5: the ball and run it in. But Paul, that might

829
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: have been your maybe your best sideline hit in your career. No, yes,

830
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, you know, butt cheek isn't exactly

831
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 5: R rated maybe PG. Thirteen.

832
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 4: I just you know, whatever happened to like backside or

833
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 4: you know, posterior maybe landed on his pocketbook or you know,

834
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 4: your rear end, your keyster. I mean, you know, there's

835
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 4: a lot of other synonyms I think would have been

836
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 4: more appropriate for the family programming.

837
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 6: Very oh my goodness.

838
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, that was a moment, no doubt that was

839
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 4: that got our attention. If you weren't paying attention you

840
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 4: were after that call by the official.

841
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 5: Well yeah we were, the Cardinals were. I don't know

842
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 5: if the Jets were paying attention based off the final

843
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 5: result thirty one to six, Cardinals win their fourth in

844
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 5: a row, six and four. Now, Rob, the question everyone

845
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 5: is debating is the Bible Week coming at a good time?

846
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 5: Do you want to keep playing to maintain not the

847
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 5: momentum we don't believe in momentum Jonathan Gannon. But the

848
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 5: confidence in the way this team is playing, or do

849
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 5: they deserve a break mentally and physically?

850
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, two ways to look at this. You know you can.

851
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 6: You can look at it from a from a get well,

852
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 6: get healthy standpoint where you know, we got to got

853
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 6: to get everybody back and ready to go for the

854
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 6: final stretch. And then the other thing is, yeah, you

855
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 6: know we're winning, we want to keep playing. So two

856
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 6: ways to look at it. I'm not sure how the

857
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 6: Cardinals feel, you.

858
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 4: Know, getting healthy, it's not a bad thing. I think

859
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:40,479
Speaker 4: they need a break mentally as well. And then maybe,

860
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 4: just maybe you can get Jonah Williams and Darius Robinson

861
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 4: back because the coach did say he's quote very confident

862
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,879
