I don't see that happening anytime soon, but 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: now we know why when JG walks in, whether that's 32 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: Monday afternoon or Wednesday morning or Friday morning. The energy 33 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: and big energy that JG brings, and it's probably a 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: large part for that expresso shot. 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 4: You know, we always we always thought it was his personality. 36 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,279 Speaker 4: Now you know part of it. I'm sure it's definitely 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 4: a part of it. You can't fake that.

You got two 56 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: teams here that are both one and what are you 57 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: doing second? On a second? 58 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 4: Last week I got trashed, so I want to make 59 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 4: sure we go back here for a second. 60 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: I don't remember last week. Early bird, Oh early bird. 61 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I deserve my flowers. 62 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: There's a difference between early bird happening at five thirty 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: versus eight thirty. 64 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 4: Once again, context here back for week one, five thirty 65 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 4: in the morning was early bird. I said I'd be awake. 66 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,279 Speaker 4: I was awake, just a few minutes. 67 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Late, forty five minutes late, sure. 68 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: And then for early bird against the La Rams, I 69 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: was up twenty minutes before early bird, So once again 70 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 4: I was the early bird, and this week I will 71 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: once again be the raining early bird. 72 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: By the time I got that text for you on Sunday, 73 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: I'm already halfway out the door headed to State Farm Stadium. 74 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: Well, I always strived to VLA Greigor. 75 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: Oh, let's get to business, all right, bird gang, Just 76 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: make sure you up by eight thirty. Tune into the 77 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals radio network and we'll start setting that stage 78 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: for week three. Yes, we are already into week three, 79 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: the seconds of what is three straight at State Farm Stadium. 80 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: And yet if the Cardinals can do something that I'm 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: not sure many people thought of going into the season. Again, 82 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: this is a Lions team that, despite losing last week 83 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, still has and the expectation 84 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: is that they are going to be one of the 85 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: top teams in the conference and many beliefs should be 86 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: representing the NFC in the Super Bowl. Yeah, they're a 87 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,239 Speaker 1: very solid squad. 88 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 4: They're a Final four squad for a reason last year, 89 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 4: and they have that blueprint that teams only hope to 90 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,559 Speaker 4: replicate just by building within. Having a new head coach 91 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 4: coming in, seeing the players adopt his personality and take 92 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: it into their play style and build from within the 93 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 4: trenches and all these different sort of things that make 94 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 4: the Detroit Lions who the Detroit Lions are and the 95 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 4: Cardinals are following. So it's funny Marvin Harrison Junior, when 96 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 4: he was standing outside his locker and somebody asked him 97 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: about the similar ideologies, he said, it looks like we 98 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: could be playing ourselves in a sense. So that does 99 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 4: help out. So when you do play against a squad 100 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: that might be a little bit more talented based off 101 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: of where they ended last season at, it's gonna be 102 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 4: a good test. And that's something that out in Detroit. 103 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 4: That's the word that they've been using is test. This 104 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 4: is going to be a test between a physical Cardinals offensive, 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 4: violent Cardinals defense, and vice versa. 106 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: For Detroit, A big time test is how JG described 107 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: its earlier this week. The line of scrimmage. Who's able 108 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: to control the line of scrimmage? And speaking of that, 109 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: before we get to Matt Derry again, host of the 110 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: Locked On Lions podcast, something to monitor ahead of kickoff. 111 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: Remember in actives announced ninety minutes before kickoff, which again 112 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: on Sunday is one twenty five. The offensive line. Big 113 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: spotlight on the O line this week because of Lions 114 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: defensive end Aiden Hutchinson and something that popped up on 115 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: the injury report on Thursday. Calvin Beacham, you're starting ride 116 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: tackle limited in practice on Thursday because of a hamstring injury. 117 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: According to JG, he's doing okay. Now what does that 118 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: mean moving forward? He's certainly want to be one hundred 119 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: percent or is close to one hundred percent, especially when 120 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: you're dealing with the physicality of the game, regardless of 121 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: ninety seven being out there for the Lions. But again 122 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: something to monitor because if Beach is unable to go, 123 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: then you've got Jackson Barton on the practice squad who 124 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: was elevated last week actually got in the game for 125 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: a handful of snaps. I believe it was nine, playing 126 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: left tackle, though Parris Johnson Junior was removed from that 127 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: game when it got out of hand. But again you 128 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: monitor it here on Friday, Saturday and then Sunday morning 129 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: when in activists are announced. But knock on Wood and 130 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: you would hope again hamstring, how big of a deal 131 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: is that. Only Calvin Beachan would know that, and right 132 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: now we just don't have an answer. 133 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 4: During the open portion of practice, we saw as David 134 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 4: Collins lining up against from Jackson Barton on the right 135 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 4: side of the line, so we know that he has 136 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 4: the ability to swing both ways left tackle and right tackle. 137 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 4: That's the challenge of having Christian Jones on injured reserve 138 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 4: right now because this is the moment where you would 139 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 4: hope that the young rookie is able to jump in 140 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 4: and have his moment, and unfortunately that won't be happening 141 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 4: for at least the next two games at minimum, so 142 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: it'll be interesting for that. That'll also be something to 143 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 4: monitor as we keep moving forward because that backup a 144 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 4: tackle position is very important, and right now you're using 145 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 4: your backup tackle in Kelvin beacham on the right side 146 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: of the line with Joda Williams on injured reserve. So yeah, 147 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 4: we don't know the severity of Beach's injury. You hope 148 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 4: it's nothing too serious, JG said. We'll see in regards 149 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: to him playing in the game on Sunday, But as 150 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 4: we talked about in our conversation with Matt, and we 151 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: highlight why it's so important for Kelvin Beacham to be 152 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: out there because we know the success that Aiden Hutchinson 153 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 4: number ninety seven has had lining up against the right tackles. 154 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: Now, sometimes you can kind of get a hints on 155 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: what potentially might happen based off the moves on Saturday. 156 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: But remember Barton was elevated on Saturday last week because 157 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: you needed a backup. Cardinals will elevate Jackson Barton. That's 158 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: my assumption. Probably shouldn't assume, but again that's the expectation 159 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: I have, regardless of Beach's health for this week, but 160 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: something that the Cardinals want to make sure that they 161 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: have settled because yes, this is a big time test, 162 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: and no bigger test than as far as dealing with 163 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson. We got into that. As Zach mentioned, we 164 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: had a chance to speak with Matt Daria, a good 165 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: friend college classmates. 166 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 4: We really should have asked him about some of Craig 167 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 4: Rielou College. 168 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we don't need to worry about any of 169 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: that right now. Though. Matt, the host of the Locked 170 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: Onlines podcast, for his preview, his thoughts on the matchup 171 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: on Sunday. So I'll ask you the question many of 172 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: us here have about the Cardinals, though just reverse it 173 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: for the Lions. Which team shows up on Sunday the 174 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: week one or Week two Lions. 175 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: It's funny, Craig, because they did win in Week one 176 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: and they actually at times did not look good, and 177 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: then in week two there were times in the loss 178 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: that they looked better and Dan can't believe in after 179 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: week two we thought we made some improvements, yet obviously 180 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 3: the result was not there. But look, the expectations here 181 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 3: in Detroit are so high that when you lose a 182 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: football game, especially at home with that rocous crowded Ford Field, 183 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 3: everybody surprised. But you know you're hopeful to see Jared Goff, 184 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty three version. That's the biggest issue. We 185 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: could talk about weeks one, week two, Saint Brown having 186 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: a great game in week two, not so much in 187 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: Week one. But we have not seen the Jared Goff 188 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 3: of last year. We're even parts of twenty twenty two 189 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 3: yet here in twenty twenty four. So I think hopefully 190 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: with the run game kind of they figured out they 191 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: passed the ball way too much last week fifty five attempts. 192 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 3: You should not be throwing fifty five times in a 193 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 3: game when you when you're the Lions and you have 194 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: that balance. So I think they're gonna go back to 195 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 3: running the football, hopefully for the for the Lions, kind 196 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: of jamming it down the Cardinals' throats, and then that 197 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: will open things up for Golf and he'll play better 198 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 3: than he has the first two weeks. 199 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: The one stat that really stood out to me about 200 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: last week's game one of seven the red zone. I mean, 201 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: if you're getting seven trips inside the twenty yard line 202 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: but coming away with just one touchdown, I mean that 203 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: that would scare any opponent just because you're getting down there, 204 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: you're just not able to convert, exactly, Craig And. 205 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 3: I mean last year this team was very good in 206 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: the red zone because you have an Aman Ross Saint Brown. 207 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 3: You've got a big target like Sam Laporta, who's been 208 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 3: fantastic for this team obviously and as great as a rookie. 209 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 3: You got the dual threat with Montgomery and Gibbs in 210 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: the backfield, like guy like Montgomery, they really can carry 211 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 3: tacklers in the end zone. You rarely worry about the 212 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 3: field goal situation. That's why the Lion's really under Brad Holmes, 213 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: their general manager, who's done will of a job. Kicker 214 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: has not exactly been a real priority. They've had a 215 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: handful of them over the last four years, but now 216 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 3: having to settle for field goals, having to use Jake Bates, 217 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: the rookie, they don't want to do that. They want 218 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 3: to be putting it in, putting in the end zone 219 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: and settling for three nearly cost them in the week 220 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: one and then, like you said, cost them in the 221 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 3: week two. 222 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: At what point do you think the balance is going 223 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 4: to start to click? Because you mentioned the differences in 224 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 4: the past game late in the game, and then we 225 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 4: talked about the red zone. At what point do you 226 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 4: think it is all going to click and they are 227 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 4: going to start looking like that twenty twenty three squad 228 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 4: that was a Final four team. 229 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: You know, Zach, I mean you know the overtime in 230 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 3: Week one where they beat the Rams. They ran eight plays, 231 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: seven were on the ground and culminated in the Montgomery 232 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: one yard touchdown runs. So you're like, all right, Lions 233 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: went back to who they are, the identity of round 234 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: and pound run, the football. Use your offensive line, which 235 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: is clearly their best unit, led by a couple of 236 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: Pro bowlers, and Frank Ragnow and Penney Seel use those 237 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 3: guys like, yes, we know about Saint Brown, Laporta and 238 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: Jamis and Williams and Golf is really good, but no 239 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 3: man run the football. And they kind of went away 240 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 3: from that last week. And I know Tampa Bay shows 241 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: different things, and Todd Bowles the heck of a defensive coach, 242 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: and they were kind of daring Golf to throw the 243 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 3: football and made some mistakes through the two picks. But 244 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 3: I think this week is the week they say we're 245 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 3: going on the road, flying out west. We're facing the 246 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: Cardinals team that is not great against the run, as 247 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 3: you guys know. Although man A Buddhah Baker's running off 248 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 3: in that safety spot, you got to account for that. 249 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 3: But run the ball and you can get back to 250 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 3: doing what you do best, which is utilizing that offensive line. 251 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: And I think they're going to try that this week. 252 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 4: I know Graham Glasgow is on the injury report and 253 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 4: a handful of other players are as well. Just because 254 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 4: we're talking about the offensive line there a little bit. 255 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 4: Is there any concern with some of the guys that 256 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: are on the injury report, whether it is Alex or 257 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 4: Terry on Arnold or anybody. 258 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: Saint Brown and Arnold should be fine. I think anytime 259 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 3: you see an offensive lineman kind of show up on 260 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 3: the injury report when you don't know much about it. 261 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: With Graham Glascout, you're concerned. B Lion's O line is 262 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: really good. The starters are really good. The question has 263 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: been who are the backups going to be. They've they've 264 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: had issues the last couple of years with depth along 265 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 3: the offensive line. The other one, like you said, is Alexnzeloni. 266 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 3: Not a name that a lot of Cardinal fans or 267 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: your listeners are gonna know, but he flies around. He's 268 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: a defensive captain. They have a very deep linebacker group, 269 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: so that's good. But Angeloni is a guy, especially in 270 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: a game like this against Kyler Murray, you got to 271 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: have him on the field because he can run Kyler down. Look, 272 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: no one can run Kyler down, but you know, at 273 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: least chase him down and make it interesting. He really 274 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: has a good notes for a football veteran player on 275 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 3: a very young team. And so if you don't have 276 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 3: Angeloni out there. That is a loss, and like I said, 277 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: it's still in concussion protocol as we record this. 278 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 1: You brought up and I want to stay with the 279 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: offensive line and the tackles, whether that's Taylor Decker or 280 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: Pine sul What the Cardinals did last week against a 281 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: very banged up Rams offensive line, especially at the tackle position, 282 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: but five sacks, nine quarterback hits. What do you get 283 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: the sense from coaches players about what the Cardinals pass 284 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: rush might look like this week. 285 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: I'm not going to sit here and tell you that 286 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 3: the Lions are up three four in the morning, very 287 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 3: overly concerned about it because it doesn't matter who they play. 288 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: They're facing the Steelers and TJ. Watt those guys, they're 289 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: in facing the Browns and it's Miles Garrett. They have 290 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 3: so much confidence in Taylor Decker who's now been here 291 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: eleven years and got extended, Penney Sewell, who they feel 292 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 3: is the best right tackle in football, and a guy 293 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 3: like Jared Golf who recognizes it. Yes, I'm gonna get 294 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: rid of the football. I am not Kyler Murray, i 295 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: am not Lamar Jackson. I'm not going to be running 296 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 3: around a lot. The Lions have been able to neutralize 297 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 3: some of the better edge rushers in the game over 298 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: the last few years because of that offensive line, the 299 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: communication that's there and Rag now kind of seeing what's 300 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: going on at the center position. Zeitler is a former 301 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: Pro bowler at right guard. You mentioned Glasgow. It's a 302 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: good group, it really is. And yes, I think last 303 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: week we saw the Rams obviously, just like you guys 304 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 3: did a Week one with all those injuries along the 305 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: offensive line, and that's a good offensive line when they're healthy. 306 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: But what you guys did last week should not surprise 307 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 3: anybody against that Rams one line. But I don't think 308 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 3: the Cardinals will have this same type of success this 309 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: week against the tackles in what ways? 310 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 4: We talked about the physicality along that offensive line, and 311 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: we know the sort of personality that Dan Campbell has. 312 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 4: In what ways has the offense and in the trenches specifically, 313 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: have they embraced Dan Campbell's personality in their play? 314 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 3: Oh totally. I mean he loves this. When they first 315 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: drafted Sewel, I mean they went ballistic in that draft room. 316 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: They were so excited and the next year they get Hutchinson, 317 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: So you're building along the front. Brad Holmes, the general manager, 318 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: is not very notoriously. I'm not going to say cheap, 319 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 3: but the Lions are not going to spend a lot 320 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: of money and make splashy signings and free agency. That's 321 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: not what they do. They've gone out and gotten Brian Burns. 322 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: Would he have helped, Yes, but that would have involved 323 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 3: a lot of money and a lot of draft capital. 324 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: And that's you know, that's the Giants. How that's working 325 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 3: out two weeks in not converting them into in any victories. 326 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: I So the Lions, though, felt like all right, an 327 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 3: under the radar signing will be DJ Reader five days 328 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 3: in the free agency coming off of a quad injury. 329 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: But at thirteen million dollars is an affordable deal. Marcus 330 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 3: Davenport on a one year flyer, Kevin Zeidler on a 331 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 3: one year flyer. Glasgow re signs for three years less 332 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: money than Jonah Jackson got with the Rams leaving Detroit 333 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: to go to LA. They didn't overspend on Jonah. They 334 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: bring Graham Graham back and put him at left guard. 335 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 3: So they've been very economical about it. They've been smart. 336 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 3: They want good culture guys, but it does start up front, 337 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: you know, Dan Campbell loves the blocking tight end. Got 338 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: a guy like Rock right that goes with Sam Laporta, 339 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 3: and they want to put pressure on people and clogged 340 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: the middle with Ali McNeil and Reeder and a guy 341 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 3: in Levi Ownserrique who who's improved. That'll get a lot 342 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 3: of snaps this week. It's kind of you, right, how 343 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: they are built, and that's how Campbell likes it. 344 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: All right, we've gone more than five minutes and we've 345 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: yet to bring him up. I'll bring him up right now. 346 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson. We see the numbers, you see him up close. 347 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: Just how dominant has he been through these first two games. 348 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 3: Well, Craig gets crazy. You know what you're gonna get 349 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 3: from from from hutch and how good he is. The 350 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 3: sack numbers have not been meteoric to the point where 351 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 3: PFF oh, PFF usually loves him, but others say, well, 352 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 3: none are the sack numbers that the son Reddick has 353 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 3: or TJ Watt has. Well, this year what's been ironic 354 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: and it will continue this week. The Lions will be 355 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 3: facing their third straight back up right tackle. Rams, of course, 356 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 3: didn't have Alaric Jackson last week. Luke Getticky was out 357 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 3: for Tampa, and so Hutchinson's has been eating and now 358 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 3: this week Kelvin Beacham's there, as you guys know. So 359 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 3: that's three straight weeks and the next week will be four. 360 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 3: Is the Seahawks right tackles are hurt that Hutchinson will 361 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: line up on that right side and on the left 362 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 3: side of the Lions d line the right side of 363 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 3: the old line and do his business. And he's just 364 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 3: the thing about him is you look at the snap 365 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: counts and you go, wait a minute, does he come 366 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 3: out of the game. Max Crosby's the only guy that 367 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: I will watch that I've seen that does not come out, 368 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 3: Andson's right there. I mean an occasional maybe a second 369 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 3: and fourteen. He does his rush pass rushing things. He 370 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 3: needs a breather on third down, but other than that, 371 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 3: he's out there and his motor is unbelievable and he 372 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 3: epitomizes the city. He's from here, he went to Michigan, 373 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: so it's just been a perfect marriage. And yeah, it 374 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: could be a long day for Beacham because Hutchinson's got 375 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 3: that spin move, He's got great dip around the edge. 376 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 3: And now that you got reader, next to him and 377 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 3: the McNeil next to him, that should open some things 378 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: up for him. 379 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 4: Even more outside of Harbaugh. I'm not sure if there 380 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 4: is more of a Michigan man than Aden Hutchinson out there. 381 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 4: Do you expect him to solely stay on that right 382 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 4: side of the line then, or do you anticipate them 383 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 4: moving him around a little bit because we know he 384 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 4: has the versatility and the ability to do so. Or 385 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 4: is he just going to capitalize on the fact that 386 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 4: anytime he looks at the scouting report he sees a 387 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 4: backup in there. 388 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's interesting. I think that 389 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks they've they've not used him. 390 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 3: Last year they lined him up inside sometimes on third 391 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 3: downs you saw him over the over the center of 392 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: the guard. He'll go back and forth. But I think 393 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 3: just because you know that it's a back upright tackle 394 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 3: and he's going to spend a lot of time there. 395 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: I mean, he just absolutely destroyed poor Justin's school of 396 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 3: the Bucks last week to the point where it's like, 397 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 3: why move him? This is working, Let's just keep him there. 398 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 3: So and when the Rams had our Curry the third 399 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: string left tackle going in that game two weeks ago, 400 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 3: hutch went to the left side so the Lions know 401 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: where to put him, and so you know, I think, 402 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: but for now I think he'll start the game against 403 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 3: Beacham for sure. 404 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: No question. It is the matchup to watch on Sunday 405 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: of the Cardinals host the Lions coming up at one 406 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: twenty five at State Farm Stadium, MD. Always a pleasure, 407 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: good information and always great to catch up with. 408 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 3: You you two, Craig, thanks Fellows, and you know anytime 409 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 3: you need me. But should be a fun game. I'm 410 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 3: excited to see what the Red Seas all about again. 411 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 3: And man Kyler Murray and what he did last week. 412 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: That's that's gonna be a concern for the Lions. They've 413 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 3: got to contain them. 414 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, containing Kyler Murray easier said than done. Just asked 415 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: the Rams appreciate Matt giving us a couple of minutes 416 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: this week, And let's kind of go off of that 417 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: last part before we get into the Aiden Hutchinson conversation 418 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: with what Matt said about Kyler Murray and containing him. 419 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: We heard this was a couple of weeks back Kyle 420 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: Vanderbascher on the Red Sea Report when talking about Josh 421 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: Allen the cage concept that defenses used for mobile quarterbacks. 422 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: You want to keep them in the pocket. And that's 423 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: gonna be the guess of a lot of teams going 424 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: up against the Arizona Cardinals keeping Kyler Murray in the pocket. 425 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: That was not the case last week. He was able 426 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: to escape the pocket and make the Rams look silly 427 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: on a handful of occasions. Curious now what the line 428 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: due to make sure that they maintain Kyler in the 429 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: pocket based off of watching film against the Lions against 430 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: the Rams. 431 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 4: And it'll be interesting when it comes to their linebacker. 432 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 4: At alex Angeloni, we talked about who on Thursday was 433 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 4: what was I guess lifted off the concussion protocol. At 434 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 4: least he returned to practice for them. He would be 435 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 4: one of those linebackers to try to contain k one. 436 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 4: But you can you can only contain Kyler Murray so 437 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 4: much when he has the ability. He's I don't want 438 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 4: to use the term another running back out there, but 439 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 4: he has the ability to Their designed runs for Kyler 440 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 4: in Drew Petsing's playbook, so we know that he has 441 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 4: the ability to get going in the ground game. But 442 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 4: if he does stay in the pocket, great gives him 443 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: more time to throw the rock around and that's what 444 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 4: you're hoping you saw there that he has the ability 445 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 4: to move to the right side and to find Marvin 446 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 4: Harrison Junior in that sixty yard touchdown. But when you 447 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 4: also see how he's able to stay in the pocket 448 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 4: and throw that flyer out, how he was able to 449 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 4: just go down downfield and for Marvin's first touchdown. He's 450 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 4: a great pocket passer as well. You just know what 451 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 4: he can do with his legs. 452 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 1: Well, Kyler have the time to throw from the pocket 453 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: this week, And as we detailed off the top as 454 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: far as Calvin Beacham's his status, and then talking with 455 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: Matt about this is the third straight week in safe 456 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: in which Aiden Hutchinson will be facing a backup right tackle. 457 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: Maybe that's why he leads the league in both sacks 458 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: and tackles for lost rats to say, in sacks and 459 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: quarterback hits, but four and a half sacks last week, 460 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: three of them in the first quarter, again primarily lining 461 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: up on the left side, which is the right tackle 462 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: side for the offense, and that again you talk about 463 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: a key to this week. It's making sure ninety seven 464 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: doesn't wreck the offense of the Cardinals. 465 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 4: And in a division like the Cardinals have where you 466 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 4: have to go up against a guy like Nick Bosa 467 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 4: who has that versatility to go all across the defensive line, 468 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 4: and we saw it with Aaron Donald. 469 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: Over all those years. 470 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 4: They're familiarity when it comes to lining up across from 471 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 4: a solid defensive end that as Drew Patsinsen is probably 472 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 4: one of the best in the NFL at the moment, 473 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 4: So we know what Aiden Hutchinson brings to the table. 474 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 4: If Kelvin Beachum is healthy enough to be playing in 475 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 4: the game on Sunday, I don't necessarily I don't view 476 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 4: Kelvin Beachum like a backup per se. He's a thirteen 477 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 4: year of VET had his one hundred and fiftieth career 478 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 4: start against the Los Angeles Rams last weekend. He's not 479 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 4: no scrub like. That's the way I look at it. 480 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 4: Calvin Beacham is a really solid offensive lineman that has 481 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 4: the experience and the versatility, so I wouldn't be too 482 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 4: fearful of it. I don't view him like your typical 483 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 4: backup tackle. But with the letter of the land, if 484 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 4: you're gonna look at it, to its core. Then yeah, 485 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 4: he is going up against another backup right tackle, which 486 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 4: is so incredible that that's happened. Then potentially next week 487 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 4: with the Seahawks as well, I believe is there next opponent. 488 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 4: So good for Aden Hutchinson if it does. If it 489 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 4: ain't broke, don't fix it type thing. 490 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: Hey, it's not his fault. It's you play who you're 491 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: playing that particular week and injuries aside. I mean, it's 492 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: it's part of the game. And he and then the 493 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: thing is, Okay, you might be down or facing backups, 494 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: but then you got to take advantage of it, and 495 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: that's what Hutchinson has done. Wonder if the Cardinals do 496 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: what we saw last week there was a lot of 497 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: multiple tight end personnels, whether that was twelve or thirteen personnel. 498 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: How much do we see more of that lining up 499 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: on the right side as opposed to next to Paris 500 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Johnson just to chip a little bit before a Tip 501 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: Ryman or an Elijah Higgins or Train McBride flash out 502 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: and line up or go out on a route, or 503 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: they just stay in and act as a sixth offensive lineman, 504 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: depending on how well Hutchinson is right off the top. 505 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: Because if there is a three sack performance in the 506 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: first quarter, Yeah, there will be a lot of help 507 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: on either side wherever Hutchinson is lined. 508 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 4: Up, And you would not want I wouldn't even want 509 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 4: to be a fly on the wall in that locker 510 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 4: room at halftime because I can't even imagine what it 511 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 4: would be if Aiden Hutchinson is able to have that 512 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 4: type of performance. But I do think for a guy 513 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 4: with Jackson barn even though if you were to be 514 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 4: out there, and this is all speculation on Sunday, Kelvin 515 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 4: Beacham goes out there, then ten minutes out of cover 516 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 4: two was for nothing. But I do think that, you know, 517 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 4: Jackson Barrn is a quality NFL player, and when the 518 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 4: Cardinals had the opportunity to decide who they want to 519 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 4: keep in this building, they decided to keep him in 520 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 4: this building last year and this year. So he has 521 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,719 Speaker 4: shown them enough that they feel confident enough to potentially 522 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 4: have him out there if needed. But once again, it 523 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 4: really depends on the guys that you have there and 524 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 4: with when it comes to twelve personnel and thirteen personnel. 525 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 4: The Cardinals have been getting tons of praise in the 526 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 4: national media, which is always refreshing. But to see dan 527 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 4: Orrolawski go on ESPN and talk about how they are 528 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 4: the best thirteen personnel team in the NFL because of 529 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 4: their violence, their explosiveness, what they're able to do, just 530 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 4: the play calls that Drew Petsing has has designed. When 531 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 4: you have that sort of respect, that's something that Detroit 532 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 4: is going to be heavily aware of going into this game, 533 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 4: because the Cardinals have been doing a really solid job. 534 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 4: And that's why you draft a guy like Tip Ryman 535 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 4: in the third round, because he has the ability to 536 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 4: be a presence in the passing game, although we haven't 537 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 4: really seen it yet, but as a boker as well, 538 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 4: that's his passion and he's doing a really solid job 539 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 4: at that so far. 540 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: An extra tight end or two extra tight ends sometimes 541 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: most of the time that to tell that it's going 542 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: to be a run play. But we saw how both 543 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: those touchdowns to Marvin Harrison Junior those were with three 544 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: tight ends on the football field. So the Cardinals the 545 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: ability to throw out of that certainly now makes defenses 546 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: think twice. But going back to the line of scrimmage, 547 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: the other key, at least for me, is outside of 548 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: the mint one major key, and that is containing Aiden Hutchinson. 549 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: But which run game is able to get going? On Sunday? 550 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: You got two top ten rushing attacks against small sample size, 551 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: just two games worth. But the rams I should said 552 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: the Lions better than five yards a carry and the 553 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals are at five and a half yards carry? So 554 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: who is it? Is it James Connor gets going or 555 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: is it David Montgomery and Jamiir Gibbs get going for 556 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: the Lions this week? Or is it both? Possibly? And 557 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden we got a real short game. 558 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: You thought last week was quick, This would be even 559 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: quick last week did feel quick? That's not that bad. No, 560 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: that's not that bad at all. 561 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 4: Look when it comes to the running game, you know 562 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 4: the two ed of Monster, we talked about it with 563 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 4: Matt a little bit, between Jamiir Gibbs and David Montgomery. 564 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 4: It's finding that balance in the past game, in the 565 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 4: run game for Detroit. You know that the Cardinals are 566 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 4: going to pound the ball, especially in that first quarter. 567 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: They're going to have no. 568 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 4: Problem rushing and getting James Connor loose as the as 569 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 4: the afternoon goes on. So and there were moments where 570 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 4: you saw Amario Demurcatta when he came into the game, 571 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 4: he had a really big time run. You want to 572 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 4: get Trey Benson going a little bit more. Although, as 573 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 4: we talked about with James Connor and with Drew Petsing, 574 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 4: we when asked about Trey Betts. With Trey Benson, they 575 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 4: said that, hey, even though he was kind of going 576 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 4: east and west and didn't really look like he was 577 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,479 Speaker 4: making much happen, he was still able to get back 578 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 4: to the line of scrimmage, and that's a plus. In 579 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 4: some cases, you chalk that up as an incompletion and 580 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 4: not a loss. So which running game gets going, You 581 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 4: hope it's the Cardinals run game, And you hope that 582 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 4: the that they that the Cardinals run defense is able 583 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 4: to limit Jamior Gibbs and David Montgomery like they were 584 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 4: able to limit Kyen Williams in a way that I 585 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 4: don't think any of us truly expected. It was one 586 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 4: of the best run defense performances we've seen in recent 587 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 4: memory from the Cardinals. So you hope that if there 588 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 4: is a run game that's going, it's it's number six JC. 589 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: And then you make the Lions one dimensional and force 590 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: Jared Goff to throw the football, which is what he 591 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: has done a lot this season. He has the most attempts, 592 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: third most completion's, fourth most yards passing yards, but he 593 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: ranks twenty second in completion percentage. That's been the something 594 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: that the Lions on their end have talked about to 595 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: get Jared Goff unlocked, because he is a much more 596 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: accurate passier than what he has shown through the first 597 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: two weeks. He at the same time, the Lions have 598 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: forced to throw the ball a lot more than I 599 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: think they wanted to outside of that overtime period in 600 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: which every play but one was a rushing player and 601 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: they were able to beat the Rams without even the 602 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: Rams touching the football in those last ten minutes are 603 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: the extra ten minute sessions. So again, line of scrimmage. 604 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: We talk about it seemingly every week, but that's perfect 605 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: and specifically because of these two teams on how well 606 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: they run the ball, and then with the running backs 607 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: that they have and hopefully again James Connor Amari Democcado, 608 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: can you get Trey Benson going a little bit? He's 609 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: averaging one point six yards a carry. It's not great, 610 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: but you got to remember he's still getting his feet 611 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: wet in this league. 612 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 4: I give a prediction. Prediction Trey Benson scores his first 613 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 4: touchdown this week. 614 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: Wow, you're that's okay. 615 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 4: I don't know why I'm feeling it now. See I 616 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 4: think it's a right. I think it's very similar to 617 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 4: James Connor's rushing touchdown in that Now, why would you 618 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 4: have Trey Benson in the end zone as opposed to 619 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 4: James Connor when you need only a few yards. Probably 620 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 4: not gonna happen. But I have a hunch. I have 621 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 4: a hunch Craig, that Trey Benson's gonna score his first touchdown. 622 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: Now could be what we saw in Buffalo when it 623 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: was all Benson and all of a sudden it was 624 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: James Connor could finish off the drive. Maybe they just 625 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: swap rolls for that particular. 626 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 4: All I'm gonna say is this week one before Buffalo, 627 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 4: I said, don't be surprised if you don't see the 628 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 4: connection between Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior. Floorish right away? 629 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 4: Fair to say that that happened. You said that I did, 630 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 4: I did go. We could run back on the tape 631 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 4: because I was also I was playing both sides, and 632 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 4: I'll say, or he could just go off and he's 633 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison Junior that we expected in week two, I said, 634 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 4: for fantasy reasons, you hope that Marvin goes off, and 635 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 4: that's exactly what happened. So are those considered predictions for 636 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 4: the sake of this argument, Yes they are. So I'm 637 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 4: two for two on prediction, three for three with Trey 638 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 4: Benson scoring touchdown? 639 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: Can Cody clip it? So we're aware? Can we get 640 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: another prediction from you? 641 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 4: Another prediction? 642 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you the question, then you 643 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: predict what happens. Okay, all right? Can the defense do 644 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: it again? Can the defense shut down? All right? That's 645 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,719 Speaker 1: not fair because that's a that's an expectation that is 646 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: too high. You're forty one to ten ballgames shutting down 647 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: an offense, and the National Football League you can't do 648 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 1: that on a weekend a week out basis. But do 649 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: we see some pressure, some sex, maybe an interception out 650 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: of this defense because of the pressure that the Cardinals 651 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: are getting from the front seven? 652 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 4: So uh, you want my entire stat line? Just when 653 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 4: you when you said prediction defense, I don't believe that 654 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 4: you're gonna limit them to fifty three rushing yards. I 655 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 4: think you'll probably limit them combined to one ten. That's 656 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 4: probably right around what I would say about one hundred 657 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 4: and ten yards total. And that's putting both Jamier Gibbs 658 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 4: and David Montgomery in because your run defense will have 659 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 4: to really good last week. And I'm they based off 660 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 4: of the press conferences and what I've heard coming out 661 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 4: of Detroit, they are heavily focused on Buddha Baker in 662 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 4: the secondary because they know he's able to fly out, 663 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 4: just explode out of a cannon ball or out of 664 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 4: a cannon just with that burst of speed and physicality 665 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 4: as I wrote about on asycardinals dot com, and just 666 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 4: the style of play that he plays with. When you 667 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 4: are so focused about a guy in the secondary, you 668 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 4: might lose sight about what's happening up front. And I 669 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 4: do think that the Cardinals defense is going to look 670 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 4: really solid and hopefully rattle Jared Goff a turnover. 671 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: That'd be nice. 672 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 4: They've already had two force fumbles in both games back 673 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,479 Speaker 4: to back. I'm not sure where that ranks as the 674 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 4: across the NFL. With the two force fumbles that they've had. 675 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 4: A third put it in the books. 676 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: So the Cardinals on Sunday. 677 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 4: They're gonna have a force fumble. Whether that means it's 678 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 4: recovered or not, I don't know, but I think that 679 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 4: they're gonna have a force fumble. Cardinals have yet to 680 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 4: have an interception through two games, but there's no better 681 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 4: quarterback to do it, because out of the three, I 682 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 4: kind of expect Jared Goff to be slinging the rock 683 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 4: a little bit more than Matthew Stafford because we thought 684 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 4: he might be heavily relying on the run game. But 685 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 4: once you are down twenty one nothing, you have to 686 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 4: start getting something going. 687 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: So two big predictions. 688 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 4: A force fumble, a few three predictions, Trey Benson touchdown, 689 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 4: a force fumble, and one hundred and ten around one 690 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 4: hundred and ten If it's one hundred and seventeen, don't 691 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 4: get mad at me. Rushing yards for the rushing guards 692 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 4: for the Lions. 693 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: Okay, combine, all right, we'll see if the predictions. 694 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 4: Watch a big ninety yard explosit. 695 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: I do remember, as I'm going to give you your props here, 696 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: because there was another prediction in the preseason the preseason opener, 697 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: was there not something about Xavier Thomas My breakfast order. 698 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 4: My breakfast order was number fifty four, and I said, 699 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 4: Xavier Thomas is going to have a sack and he 700 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 4: had his ver a sac Wow, I'm on one. 701 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: So I just gave you that one because you forgot 702 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: about that.
