1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Good morning, bird Ging and welcome to another episode of 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: The Morning Scramble presented five Rides and why are this 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: time your post FELIPA Jr. Joined by Danny Serek, Craig 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: Grielou and Rolando Dantu. Guys, not the victory Monday we've 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: been accustomed to throughout this entire season as the cardinal 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: spot to the Los Angeles Rams thirty to twenty three 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: on Monday Night football in Week fourteen. Hey, at some point, 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: like these type of losses happen, you gotta deal with it. 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: But the important thing is to you know, adapt and 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: then adjust moving forward. Let's get right into the main dish. 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot to talk about. A lot went on yesterday. 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: It was a pretty you know, interesting and intense game 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: throughout the course of that Monday night football matchup. We'll 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: start with you, Rolando, what was your biggest takeaway? There's 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: a lot of takeaways on both sides of the ball, 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: especially on special teams, but what was your main takeaway. 17 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of errors, mistakes that were done throughout 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: the entire game. But even though that, the difference of 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: the game was seven points. And I think you know 20 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: what the Rams did two takeaways they produced, they will 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: turn those into points, Philippe. And that's what the Cardinals 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: have been doing our entire season. So the last night, 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Monday night at State from Stadium was a little you know, 24 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: preview of what the Cardinals have been doing on the road. 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: And I think for sure seeing the team fight and 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: battle towards the end, that's one of the takes that 27 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: I got from this result. Obviously, the loss hurts a lot. 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: It was it was a game where you know, we 29 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: we would clinch with a win, a playoff birth and 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: that did not happen. So now it's back to the 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: drawing board, Philippe, back to the basics and trying to 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: get this road uh win here next Sunday versus Alliance, Danny. 33 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: I know those two interceptions were costly, but this offense, 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: they weren't necessarily struggling, right Like, throughout the course of 35 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: the game, they were moving the ball. Well, there was 36 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: a couplets instances where they didn't convert on the two 37 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: calamary through interception at the four yard line, things like that, 38 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: but this offense continues to showcase their dominance right absolutely. 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: It was just kind of a rare situation I mean 40 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins broke a twenty three game streak 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: without a dropped pass. Two interceptions, both were intended for 42 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: tight end zach Ertz. I think what really ended up 43 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: costing this offense so ended up being penalties, specifically those 44 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: that last drive, and that's just something that you have 45 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: to prepare for during the week, is right. You have 46 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: to understand who's officiating the game, what they normally call, 47 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: what they don't call. A lot of that too, was 48 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: more so just Aaron Donald absolutely dominating that offensive line. 49 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: He had fourteen pressures and so he drew a couple 50 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: of penalties because it's very difficult to stop him. This 51 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: offense is still great. We've seen them great week after week. 52 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: It was just an off night and they just really struggled. 53 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: They were they were making they really struggled to kind 54 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: of make it worth it essentially there. Kyler Murray didn't 55 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: throw any touchdowns. It was just just seemed like an 56 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: off night for this offense. It just seemed like that 57 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: cherry on top was missing. On top of every like 58 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: good offensive drive, the cherry on top just wasn't there. 59 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: Whether it was a DeAndre Hopkins drop that you mentioned where, 60 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: whether it was an interception where there's a failed conversion 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: on fourth and two towards the end of the game. Just, 62 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean sometimes the cherry just it doesn't go on 63 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: top Craig. I know, on the on the radio postgame show, 64 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: you get a lot of callers that, you know, give 65 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: their input on what should have happened if they were 66 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: the gms, what they should have done. Yeah, I know, 67 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: off air we're talking about how people were mentioning, oh, well, 68 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: if they had Larry fisherald on the sideline, like if 69 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: that makes sense, or they're kind of calling out Cliff Kingsbury. 70 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: But what was your what were your interactions? What was 71 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: your most interesting caller that kind of like threw you 72 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: off in away? It's always an adventure on Cardinal Talk 73 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: after losses. The one big talking points and we got 74 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: into it as well with Mike Dreky and kylev Annenbosch. 75 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: Was the decision to go for it with five twenty 76 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: seven to go, you're down two scores. Do you kick 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: a field goal at that point or do you decide 78 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: to keep that drive going. James Connor was stalled and 79 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: that wasn't because of the play call, but the play execution, 80 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: the Rams blew up that play, but the decision to 81 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: go for rather than kick a field goal, And I 82 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: understand both sides, But if you like the aggressive nature 83 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: of Cliff Kingsbury all season long, not just last night, 84 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: but all season long, then you have to accept that's 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: what he's going to do, even in that situation. Yes, 86 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: you're down two scores. I understand what the Monday Night 87 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: crew was saying on ESPN, but you have to live 88 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: and die with those decisions that are being made in 89 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: the Cardinals on fourth down this season or twelve of nineteen. 90 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: It did not work on Monday Night football, but his 91 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: work all season long. So I'm going to stand behind 92 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: the head coach on the decision to go for it 93 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: there rather than kick a field goal. Plus, now all 94 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: of a sudden felipe, you're asking Matt Prador to kick 95 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: another fifty plus yard or fifty four fifty five yards, 96 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: not saying he can't do it, but are the odds 97 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: that a snap hold and kick are going to be 98 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: successful or gaining one yard? And if you can't gain 99 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: one yard to keep that drive going, then you don't 100 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: deserve to win. And the Cardinals didn't play well enough 101 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: on offense or defense to earn a victory last night, Orlando. 102 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: Before we move over to our rise and shine, we 103 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: love to interact with our fans right on social media, 104 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: specifically on Twitter where this show's being streamed, and someone 105 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: mentioned the game that Aaron Donald had against that offensive line. 106 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: Believe it was like three sacks, eleven quarterback carries, a 107 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: pass deflection that resulted in that interception. What did you 108 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: see from the offensive line compared to Week four? Because 109 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: in week or instagrams that offensive line neutralized Aaron Donald, right, 110 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: he had one of his worst performances this season, and 111 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: then same thing happened with Cooper Cup they both went off. 112 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: What happened? What did you see from that offensive line? Well, 113 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: Donald was on the mission, yes, last night. I mean 114 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: this guy was lining up in the interior position and 115 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: three technique for technique all over the place, and he 116 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: was giving different looks. I think his aggressiveness to kind 117 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: of just blow up any combo blocker, even one on one. 118 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: The first drive Mexico, he had kind of struggled with 119 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: the bull rush. That kind of set the tone because 120 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: in the first game they were they were Week four, 121 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: they were running towards him really aggressive, and that kind 122 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: of got him thinking a little bit like, Hey, do 123 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: I stay and contain? Do I stay in my gap 124 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: or do I gotta just go forward? So I think 125 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: in this time around, he was definitely on point. The 126 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: explosiveness was there. He got in a little rhythm where 127 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: he was timing the punch of the offensive lineman. Once 128 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: you time that punch and you knocked those hands down 129 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: and you kind of just go blow right back to him, 130 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean, anything can happened. He actually blew right past 131 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: James Conner a couple of times in the backfield and 132 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: just kind of touched them. So those would have been 133 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: tackles for losses and they would have helped that RAMS 134 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: defense a little bit more. But for sure, I think 135 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 1: his aggressiveness was there. Von Miller on the flip side, 136 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: was you know, also a concern for this offensive line, Philippe. 137 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: So there's there's big names and excellent athletes on that 138 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: offensive line. So I think everybody knew what was in 139 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: front of them. We just kind of, you know, I 140 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: think they were just thinking too much in regards to 141 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: kind of the execution of the plays on the cardinal 142 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: side and at the end of the day, it's a 143 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: battle man. You line up, you put your fingers down, 144 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: and you gotta go. You gotta make sure you reestablished 145 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: that line of scrimmage in the run game and be 146 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: you know, flawless in the past set. So that didn't 147 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: happen most of the time. You know, Donald was kind 148 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: of pressuring collapsing that interior pocket. You know, there were 149 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: scrambles on the Kayler's side to both sides. You know, 150 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: primarily they would kind of flush them to the left 151 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: side because that's that's a difficult throw, even though Kayler 152 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: has made it in the past. But for sure it 153 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: was it was they were ready. The plan was there 154 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: on the ram shode on the line, and you know, 155 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: things like that is gonna happen. Let's not forget, guys 156 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: that Aaron Donald is one of the best three techniques 157 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: that are out there in the NFL, if not the 158 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: best one, right, So this guy is the pros pro. 159 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: He's definitely one of the guys that you have to 160 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: establish quickly where he's at and kind of game plan 161 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: towards him. That didn't happen. He got in the rhythm 162 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: that's very difficult to deal with. It was a difficult 163 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: performance all around. For there was an o Cardos, but hey, 164 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: that's just one game. There's still you know, one of 165 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: the three teams or ten wins a third in the NFC, 166 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: so things, you know, there's reason that remain optimistic though. 167 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: The world isn't isn't ending necessarily, So let's move on 168 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: to Rise and Shine. Let's start off with Danny. You know, 169 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: with the absence of Jayden Ramsey, there was some optimism 170 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: in that passing game, and I think this specific player 171 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: really outperformed his expectation. Yeah, it was Aj Green for me, 172 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: and this I think was the biggest game Green has had. 173 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: With kay Tyler Murray, we saw him as a reliable 174 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: receiver when it was Cult McCoy filling in. But this 175 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: was a huge game for Aj Green. I think that 176 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: he was reliable, he was making those great catches. He 177 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: surpassed a hundred receiving yards, and he became just the 178 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: fifth active player in the league to now hit ten 179 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: thousand career receiving yards, which is a huge milestone. Obviously, 180 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to lose a game like that, 181 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: but to still find the good in that I think 182 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: is huge. But that's important that That's why Steve Kind 183 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: brought in AJ Green because teams are going to target 184 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and you need to have other receivers that 185 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: can make those down the field catches and still be 186 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: threats and those difficult passes to catch him. I think 187 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: that it was important to see AJ Green really shine 188 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: in this game because Deandrew Hopkins was I mean, he 189 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: just didn't have his best game, and so I think 190 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: that was important that we got to see Green connect 191 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray as many times as he did about you. 192 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go despite what the numbers say, and they 193 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: weren't great and typically don't highlight someone who throws two interceptions, 194 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: But for me, my rise and shine player is Kyler Murray. Yes, 195 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: the decision on both of those interceptions you are questionable. 196 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: Great play by Aaron Donald tipping the ball. Great play 197 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: by Leonard Floyd getting the hand up to where zach 198 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: Ertz couldn't get the ball in his vicinity. But Kyler 199 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: Murray does a great job. And I'll go back to 200 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: what Rolando was talking about with that offensive line. I 201 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: believe the stat from Pro Football Focus was Aaron Donald 202 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: fourteen pressures the entire Cardinals defense ten Kyler Murray had 203 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: to run, had to scramble for his life, still had 204 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: this team in position to get this game into overtime. 205 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's gonna run you into a lot of plays. 206 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: He's going to make mistakes, He's gonna be aggressive, maybe 207 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: too aggressive for some people. But when the chips are 208 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: down and you need someone to step up, Kyler Murray 209 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: is there consistently and again one drive from putting this 210 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: game into overtime, and then who knows what happens in 211 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: those next ten minutes. But the numbers aren't great. Forty 212 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: nine pass attempts too many for my liking. Could have 213 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: been more considering the lack of depth in the secondary 214 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: against the Rams. But Kyler Murray put this position, put 215 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: the team on his back, in position to win despite 216 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: the mistakes that were made. So for me, he is 217 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: my rise and shine player of the game. A little bit, 218 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: a little bit out of the box, phillipea. But you 219 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: know that's what you've come to expect here from me 220 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: on morning scramble. Yeah, you give me these audibles like 221 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: super late. You know you started off with Zach Gillen, 222 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: which you know he had a pretty decent game. You know, 223 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: he's having a curious season, but then you switch it 224 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: up to Kyler Murray. But I don't blame you, man. 225 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: There was specific passes yesterday. I think it was the 226 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: one that Aj Green where he was just running full 227 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: steam out to his right and just launches it and 228 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: it was an amazing catch by a J. Green. But 229 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: it just had me thinking, like, and I know we 230 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: mentioned it so much. He's like a Madden creative player 231 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: to an extent, and those are the type of players 232 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: that if I'm playing with Klin muron Madden, I'll be 233 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: making those types of plays. But just to see him 234 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: person who was just to just take it to another level, 235 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: like they say, there's levels to this, and Kyli Maury 236 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: keeps proving. Obviously he has to clean up the interceptions, 237 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: but like you mentioned, if you if you take away 238 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: one of those interceptions, now we're talking about a thirty 239 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: thirty game heading into overtime. So that's what gets me 240 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: optimistic because I feel like the team beat themselves. We 241 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: hear that a lot, you know, two interceptions and penalty 242 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: to felt conversion on specific four downs, so they're still optimist. 243 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: Optimism Orlando, Who's your right. Sorry, real quick, Sorry, Philipid interrupts, 244 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: sorry to cut you off, Land Craig, I have like 245 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: a follow up question that because you talk about, you 246 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: know what, one drive away from forcing overtime or winning 247 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: the game, and that's not the second time, because it 248 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: was the same situation against the Packers at home. So 249 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: what is this team missing that they haven't been able 250 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: to capitalize in those situations. I think it's just experience 251 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: this team together as young, as far as playing as 252 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: a team doesn't mean youth can't win, but getting into 253 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: these same situations and learning from mistakes. And also specifically 254 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: with the Packers game, Danny and the Rams game, you're 255 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: talking about two of the better teams not just in 256 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: the NFC but the entire NFL. And you know, as 257 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: everyone likes to say, they get paid too, but you 258 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: have to play clean football. And the Cardinals on Monday 259 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: night did not play clean football. But I'd still rather 260 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: be in that situation for a chance for the tying score, 261 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: or case of the Packers game, the go ahead score, 262 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: than to be sitting there and just having the game 263 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: as the clock just run out and focus on the 264 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: next week. So as frustrating and as nerve racking and 265 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,479 Speaker 1: as heartbreaking, and it is put me in that situation 266 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: as opposed to the Panthers game where you had no 267 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: chance whatsoever after the first half. Orlando, Yeah, excellent. You 268 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: know what, do you guys hit it? I love your 269 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: risenshein players. Danny aj had a great game also, Kyler Murray. 270 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: You know what, at the end of the game, at 271 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: the end of the day, we're still there. It's not 272 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: the end of the world, guys. I mean our record 273 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: is ten and three, and Kyler did excellent plays. I 274 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: mean he extended drives where you know, for if you 275 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: were another quarterback in the NFL, that would have been 276 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: a sack, automatic sack and you would have had an awful, 277 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: awful day in that category. But not to say, I 278 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna give a little love to special teams. 279 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: Matt Prador our kicker. Starting off the drive, I mean 280 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: it was it was a great drive for the Cardinals, 281 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: moving the ball in control and then you know what, 282 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: things kind of you know, went to a standstill and 283 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: fifty three yards went in. And then again towards halftime, 284 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, an excellent heads up played by Kyler Murray 285 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: to kind of extend to three more yards, put him 286 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: in in field goal position, and another fifty three yard er. 287 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, guys, it's really hard to nail fifty three 288 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: yarders in the NFL consistently, and Matt Prator has shown 289 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: that every single week. Like this guy is a proven veteran. 290 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: And at the end of the game, yes, we took 291 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: the three points, and with the philosophy of you know what, 292 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: we're forced to kind of kick an on site kick 293 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: right to kind of do it and execute it to perfection, 294 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: he did that right down the middle. Zavian Collins over 295 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: the defenders kind of just grabbed the ball. I mean, 296 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: the touch was it's like a soccer touch, Craig, and 297 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: then it's just like I gotta tap and make sure 298 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: it go it hits, it hits somebody at the at 299 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: the ten yard line, and it did so for me, 300 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: Matt Prator is my rising shigne. We're gonna need the 301 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: kicking game. These these teams that we're gonna face in 302 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs will be tight scores and you're gonna have 303 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: to rely on a kicker and a veteran kicker, and 304 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: we have that this year, Matt Prator. So that's my 305 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: rising shign I think for moving forward, I mean, this 306 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: week is a focus week. We have to make sure 307 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: things get right versus the Lions, and that's gonna be 308 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: a big concern. How this team bounces back, but not 309 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: only bounces back on Sunday, how they prepped the entire week, 310 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: Phalipit is gonna be key so they can continue their efforts. 311 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: You know in the month of December, you know, the 312 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: perk of working alongside the next NFL player like Orlando. 313 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: Right before that onside kick, he looked at me. He 314 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: took his head set off because he's on radio and 315 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: he's like, Hey, this is gonna go down the middle 316 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: of Matt Prater's gonna go for it. He went fair, 317 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: but obviously David Collins recovered it. So he's seen a 318 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: lot of things. He kind of you know that the 319 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: eight ball and the magic eight ball and he and 320 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: he guesses. So perhaps to Rolando, you know, it's not 321 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: a lot that. It's not a lot of times I 322 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: get props on my show. You know, I'd like to 323 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: give myself props, but you deserve it off. So I'll 324 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: top it off with James Connor use my Rise and 325 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: Shine two. Rushing touchdowns yesterday makes them puts them in 326 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: second as the all time second and franchise history with 327 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: fourteen rush touchdowns. Only David Johnson has more with sixteen, 328 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: and I think, you know that's James Connor is more 329 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: than capable of reaching that or possibly even breaking it. 330 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: But I'm a fantasy football guy, you know, I'm I 331 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: just qualified for the playoffs. Round of applies for myself 332 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of the reason why it was James 333 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: Conner right, two Russian touchdowns, But what he did in 334 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: the passing game, Like who would who would ever think 335 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: that James Connor is gonna catch five plus passes out 336 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: of the back road, especially like one hand with one hand, 337 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: I think his longest catch was eighteen yards. I mean, like, 338 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: who would have thought that James Connor still had that 339 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: in the bag. So when when it comes to fantasy football, 340 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: that dude was a cheek code. I believe he gave 341 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: people like thirty plus fantasy points and he was believe 342 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: it was second. I'm on running backs in fantasy this week. 343 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: So for your fantasy owners, thank James Connor if you 344 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: have a chance on social media. But on top of that, 345 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: just everything that he provides for this team. Every week. 346 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: I always think to myself, like, who's he gonna run 347 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: over this week? And I believe he shed it off 348 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: a tackle from his homeboard Aaron Donald. For if I'm 349 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: not mistaking his first when he was in a wildcat formation? 350 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: Did he share that Aaron Donald tackle off things like that. 351 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: He's just running over people constantly, and I feel like 352 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: those players in that locker room always tend to listen 353 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: to James Connor. He's a leader. They brought him here 354 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: for a reason, and I think people are finally seen 355 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: like James Connor still has a lot on the tank 356 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: and he's continuously proving it. So that'll do it for 357 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: our rise and shine. Let's move over too, are bringing 358 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: home the bacon. And I don't have a topic necessarily, 359 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: Craig for you. I just like after losses, I tend 360 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: to go to you because you have a certain passion 361 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give you the floor because he's got 362 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: the post game experience with all the collars with other 363 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: callers and everything like that that you know it's their 364 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: venting session. Let's call it what it is. So I'm 365 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: gonna give you the floor. This is your venting session. 366 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: You're free to do and say whatever you want, just 367 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: to be don't be too pessimistic, you know. I try 368 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: to be optimist stick this morning because I like what 369 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: Rolando had to say. As far as look, you're ten 370 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: and three, you're still atop of the NFC West and 371 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: one of the top four teams in the NFC. But 372 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look ahead. And Rolando might not like this 373 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: because the player mentality is one to know this week. 374 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: And I'm not dismissing the Detroit Lions, but this team 375 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: needs to figure out not why it's struggling at home, 376 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: but how to overcome it and correct it. I know 377 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: exactly why this team is struggling at home, slow starts 378 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: and turnovers. They've committed eleven turnovers at home, two on 379 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: the road. Got to be able to protect the football. 380 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: But two more opportunities to figure this out, including on 381 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: Christmas Day when the Indianapolis Colts come to town. If 382 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: this team wants a successful run in the postseason, wants 383 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: to host playoff games, you got to figure out home 384 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: field advantage. Otherwise, as Kingsbury joke postgame, maybe they just 385 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: lose the rest of their home games and go on 386 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: the road. It worked for Tampa Bay last year, It's 387 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: worked for other teams, but that's you want the path 388 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: of least resistance. And right now the Cardinals they're making 389 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: it difficult on themselves, losing three straight home games because 390 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: they cannot protect the football. Too many mistakes, guys trying 391 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: to do too much. So now you have to figure 392 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: out not the why. I gave you the why, but 393 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: now to figure out how to correct it, make sure 394 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: it stops happening, because it's been an issue now for 395 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: three straight games. So again Philippia, and not dismissing to 396 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, but I'm looking ahead to the next game 397 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: at State Farm Stadium where we will really know where 398 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: this Arizona Cardinals team is headed. In twenty twenty one, 399 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: Danny Craig touched on the turnovers, and I feel like 400 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, Kyler Marion. These last two primetime home games, 401 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: he has a combined of four interceptions and he hasn't 402 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 1: necessarily thrown a touchdown, which is surprising. Right he's been 403 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: dominating last season. Is it a matter of him just 404 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: fixing those mistakes, liking in the mirror and just owning 405 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: it and improving moving forward. I think That's the only 406 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: way you can get over it is you have to 407 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: watch the film and you have to figure out what 408 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: went wrong of what was he seeing, what was he 409 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: not seeing in the defenses. Was there any sort of 410 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: miscommunication on the route running from the wide receiver. You 411 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: have to look at it from all the angles, because 412 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: you can't win games if you keep turning the ball over. 413 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: And you were mentioning I mean the fumble specifically, this team, 414 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: now they've gotten lucky because they've recovered most of their 415 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: own fumbles, but at home, for whatever reason, they are 416 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: just struggling and it's a completely different team when they 417 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: hit the road. And I don't know if that's a 418 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: mentality of being an underdog. This organization is treated like 419 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: an underdog by national media mostly anyway, So I don't 420 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: know if that just kind of fuels them and gives 421 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: them more fire when they hit the road. I mean, 422 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: there were hardly any rans fans at State Farm Stadium, 423 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: so Rede definitely showed up. I don't know what was 424 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: missing for them at the home games, and I think 425 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: that's something that they're really going to have to focus on. 426 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: But also this week specifically, you can't have a mental 427 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: hangover before you go up to Detroit and you face 428 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: the Lions who have one win. I mean, you can't 429 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: just count them out and say, oh, you know what, 430 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: we're gonna go to Detroit, We're gonna get the win 431 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: and work and I have a playoff earth and then 432 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: you know, we can move on from there. You have 433 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: to still prep for this team, for the Lions, like 434 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: you would any other team Rolando. I know we've talked 435 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: about the turnover as the struggles offensively, but man, Cooper 436 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: cup really had a day you touched on that you 437 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: touched on not necessarily overlooking the Detroit Lions. So before 438 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: we wrap up the show, what does this defense have 439 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: to do to you know, improve that secondary? I feel 440 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: like the secondary finally got exposed. You know, let's call 441 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: it what it is, they call it. They got exposed 442 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: a secondary that's been playing well for the for the 443 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: most part this season. Matthew Staffords targeted Marco Wilson. And 444 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: the last quarterback who truly targeted marcol Wilson like that 445 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: was Aaron Rodgers. And I believe I tweeted something out 446 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: like once you get to the playoffs, you're gonna face 447 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: the Tom Brady's, the Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Staffords, the 448 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy G's, elite guys that I feel have enough experience 449 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL that when they see a rookie cornerback, 450 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: they're gonna target him. Oh it was. It was like 451 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: that yesterday Marco Wilson against Cooper Cup. That you know 452 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: that that throw right to the cone right there, man, 453 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: that's you have six inches to put that ball there. 454 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: And Marco made a play. I mean, the kid is 455 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: a rookie. He made the exact cut. He was supposed 456 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: to go towards the ball. He actually I think he 457 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: touched it on the replay. He touched it. It was 458 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: just a hard throw, man, And that's the margin of 459 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: error when you're talking about elite quarterbacks. Philippe, like the Bradies, 460 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: like the Rodgers of the world. You just have to 461 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: do it. And you're right that that secondary did get 462 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: a little exposed. I mean, everybody played against Cooper Cup. 463 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons started, you know, uh in the beginning of 464 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: the game versus Cooper Cup and heat that didn't work out. 465 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: Then you bring in Byron Murphy Jutry. But then Byron 466 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: Murphy has to bounce out. I mean, everybody on the 467 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: rotation kind of hit on Cooper Cup and there was 468 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: no solution. So you're right, uh that he was a playmaker. 469 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: He is a playmaker for the Rams. And and you 470 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: know what the defense needs to do moving forward is 471 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: just kind of settled in their grooves. What Craig mentioned 472 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: is true. You know, we're down to we're down two turnovers, 473 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: we get down on the scoreboard. All those things is 474 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: what the Cards have been doing on the road. Guys. 475 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: We create those turnover reforce bubbles, we intercept the ball, 476 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: and we give Kyler that opportunity. So that's got to 477 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: happen in Detroit. And just to kind of put this 478 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: in parentheses, this game versus the Rams was not a 479 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: trap game, guys. This game was was a legit physical 480 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: you know, NFC Showdown, NFC West Showdown. When we go 481 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: to Detroit, that's gonna be a trap game. That's gonna 482 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: be where you're gonna be tested on your phone. Focus 483 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: on how you prep this week, on how the design 484 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: for the game plan not only offensively but defense is 485 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: said that way, you can kind of just come out 486 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: of there with a victory first of all, and feeling 487 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: good about your work. That's what it's got to happen 488 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: moving forward, because it's gonna get tougher. Guys.
