13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: the season we've got free agency of the drafts and

14
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: then what started from me over the weekend and maybe

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: for some of you allergy season Ni to lie. I

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: got hit hard Saturday and Sunday, So bear with me

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: everyone else. Though, good Drew, it's been a little while

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: since we've had the fortunate pleasure of you here on

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red Sea Report, presented by Seat geek, get

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: your seats in a seat. Yeah, it's good to be back.

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know that cactus pollen was a real thing

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: until I'm moved out here to the valley, but apparently

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: it is. It's affecting some of us. Basically, anything that

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: grows out of the ground I'm allergic to. Okay, so

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: when it blooms, you know, april flowers bring Yeah that

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: it's allergy sea basically all year round. But it really

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: got me hard over the valley. I think it's more

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: the pollen. Yeah, it's everywhere, especially when the wind blows. Yeah,

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: all right, No one really wants to hear about our problems.

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: It's been still somewhat quiet on the free agent front.

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: Team did add a tight end Steven Anderson, which will

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: get into later, but there is a growing sense of

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: normalcy when we talk about the draft. There will be

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: a Cardinals Draft party at State Farm Stadium on Thursday,

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: April twenty eighth, from four to nine, presented by Arizona

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: four Dealers, So there is some semblance of NORMALCYMJ admission

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: and parking are both free. It's gonna have a lot

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: of fun out there, and gotasy Cardinals dot Com for

39
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: more information. But here we are three weeks before the

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL Draft, and the last time, if

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, was the Kyler Murray Draft. And obviously

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals had the first pick on the draft. Here

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be twenty third whether they move up or down,

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: so you know, get there early, watch the draft unfold,

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: see a lot of players come off the board, and

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: hopefully the Cardinals have a you know, an idea what

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: they want to do, whether you know they're picking at

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: twenty three, move up a few spots, or move down

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: to acquire another third round pick, considering they don't have

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: a fourth and a fifth. So yeah, it's gonna be

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: a good time out there. And obviously, you know, just

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: the build up, it's different than having the eighth picking

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: overall in the sixteenth pick. Now it's twenty third and

54
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: that means you're a playoff team a year ago, and

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to predict what the team the options might

56
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: be at pick number twenty. And you talked about no

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: fourth round pick because that was part of the deal

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: to move up to select Marco Wilson. No fifth round

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: selection because that went to Philadelphia in exchange for tidend

60
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: zach Ertz. So that looks good on paper, more normal seat.

61
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: We've got off season dates, Drew, and I don't know

62
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: as a veteran how you feel about this, but the

63
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: offseason strength and conditioning program begins April nineteen for the

64
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and then ten days of OTA's three days

65
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: of mini camp, which we haven't seen over the last

66
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: couple of off seasons. Yeah, I think that's instrumental to

67
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: getting these young guys back in the building, getting them

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: acclimated to what's going on, because they had an entire

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: year to digest everything that was thrown at them, and

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: sometimes it's a lot, or for most of the guys

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: it is a lot, so you get a chance to

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: kind of pull back. I mean, this is the first

73
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: time that these young guys really get a sense of

74
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: what's going on, and then they come back in the

75
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: building and this strength and conditioning program is as good

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: it gets anywhere any facet, you know, with Buddy Morris

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: and his team, what he put there, the sports science

78
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: behind everything that they do. I mean, I wouldn't go

79
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: anywhere else. I would come here year round because to

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: be able to have Buddy Morris, who was the Strength

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year at your disposal that you can

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: walk into this building, you can do everything you need

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: to do within the confines of the rules. It's pretty spectacular.

84
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: And then you get into mining camp and you kind

85
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: of start to crawl before you walk, walk before you run.

86
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: That whole process of the build up the training camp

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: for a lot of these guys because they haven't had

88
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: that luxury. And now you can sit there and you

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: can ask questions, you can be able to dive deeper

90
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: into what's going on. But for some of these young

91
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be counted on to take

92
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: you instrumental steps for us to be where we want

93
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: to be next year, they can sit there and see

94
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: themselves on film. Why did you do this? You can

95
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: diagnose things. So it's such a valuable asset and tool

96
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: if you approach it that way. If you just come

97
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: in and say, Okay, well I'm here to work out,

98
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: and then I'm here to you know, get my little

99
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: bit of money that I get and then I'm going

100
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: to go hit the golf course. Well then you're missing

101
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the boat and you're going to be in a really

102
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: tough position. Come training camp, because this is going to

103
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: be a difficult roster to make. It is voluntary outside

104
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: of the three day mini camp, which is mandatory. But

105
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: to the point that you just made the approach, that

106
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: you make individual approach on how you deal with this offseason.

107
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: And I'll go back to someone that you're very familiar with,

108
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. We heard from him leading into the Super

109
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Bowl and in post Super Bowl the amount of work

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: that he put in on his own and then the

111
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: work with Cooper Cup. Much of that work and the

112
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: success during the regular season happened in the offseason, happened

113
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: during these months right now. He didn't have to do it,

114
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: but he chose to, and obviously we saw what the

115
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: end result was exactly with expectation becomes preparation and you

116
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: realize these things and there's lofty goals that everybody has.

117
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: All thirty two teams that are sitting around the league

118
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: right now aren't saying I'm gonna we're only gonna win

119
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: four games. If you look at any of these teams

120
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: that aren't great, they're optimistic. And that's really what you're

121
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: leaning into because you're trying to come together as a

122
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: unit and you're trying to weather different storms. But the

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: only way to be able to do that authentically is

124
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: by spending time together with one another. I mean when

125
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I first got in the NFL, we started in the

126
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: beginning of March, and it felt like forever just to

127
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: get the training camp. And then training camp was more

128
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: brutal because you didn't have, you know, the luxuries that

129
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: you have now all that's gone by the wayside, so

130
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: you have to get familiar with one of each other

131
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: very quickly. So yes, as a professional, it's going to

132
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: take time away from this facility to be able to

133
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: do that if you want to be as good as

134
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: you want to be and as good as you say

135
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: you want to be. And Matthew Stafford, Cooper cup those

136
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: are the type of guys that you see put the

137
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: work in. And the guys even here that are all

138
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: capable of doing those type of things. The makeup of

139
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: this roster will lead you to believe they'll be the

140
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: exact same way. Yeah, according to the story, they were

141
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: meeting at six am, you know, having coffee, watching film

142
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: and then obviously go out there on the field. And

143
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson does a lot of this with his guys

144
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: in the offseason. So if we fast forward to OTA's

145
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: you know which players in which position groups, Well, clearly

146
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: they've got to figure out what they have in Zavian

147
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: Collins and Isaiah Simmons. And then you know, another year

148
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: with Ron del Moore, in another year with Marco Wilson.

149
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: So to me, it's it's the young players that you know,

150
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: maybe scratch the surface last year, but they're going to

151
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: be counted on more this year, including the guys I mentioned.

152
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: And we see guys make a jump from year one

153
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: to two. Sometimes it takes you from a year two

154
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: to three. I think we see the upside in Jalen

155
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: Thompson and Byron Murphy, but I look at Murphy's gotta

156
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: be more consistent. And this is with the time you

157
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: put the work in, you're running at what half speed,

158
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe even less than half speed. So if you're an

159
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: offensive lineman or a defensive lineman, it's more about the

160
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: footwork and the technique. There is no hitting involved. But

161
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: then I always go back to the relationship or the chemistry.

162
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: Quarterback pass catcher, whether it's a wide receiver, whether it's

163
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: a tight end, a running back, figuring out, especially if

164
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: it's a new player, and then figuring out where I

165
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: like the football, where I'm going to place the football.

166
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: I like it over my outside shoulder. I preferred over

167
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: my inside shoulder. That all is stuff that can be

168
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: done on air and T shirts and shorts exactly, you know.

169
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: And I think the thing that really my biggest point

170
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: emphasis is always communication, right, getting on the same page

171
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: with everybody. There's a foundation that's been built here now

172
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: with Cliff and with Kyler and with Vans. Really, so

173
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: how can you take that foundation and make it even firmer?

174
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: How can you take that foundation and build on it?

175
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's through communication to your point, you know,

176
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: offensive linement. Yes it's not as physical, but as opposed

177
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: to center making the call and Rodney Hudson being on

178
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the same page and then trying to tell everybody what's

179
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: going on. You get all five guys on the same page,

180
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: so they're seeing the same thing, they're talking the same language,

181
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: and it's not a matter of communicating it. It's just boom.

182
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: It happens at the push of a button. Everybody knows

183
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: what they're doing. To your point, with the wide receiver

184
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: and a quarterback or a you know, a quarterback and

185
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: a tight end. All of those things really do matter,

186
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: right because it's it's great. Certain guys that I worked with,

187
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: they run routes, even it might be the same route,

188
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: but how they run it on the right side is

189
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: vastly different than how they run on the left side.

190
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: If they break down, when they drop their weight, how

191
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: they come out of their cut? You know, is this

192
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: a speed cut? Is this a breakdown and come out

193
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: of the cut? Is this the right angle that you're at?

194
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: Is this the right coverage we're seeing? So yes, this

195
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: allows you to do those things. Much like on the

196
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, that secondary has to work

197
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: in unison, they're disguising of coverages. How much do we

198
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: do and how active we are at the line of

199
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: scrimmage with our safeties rocking and rolling them, trying to

200
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: hold it the last second. All of that can play

201
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: off of each other because as a quarterback, in a

202
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: well studied quarterback that watches a lot of film in

203
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: this league, like most guys are nowadays, you have to

204
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: be able to see if one guy's out of position,

205
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: you know he's going to be wrong, But if the

206
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: whole picture looks the same, and then it shifts post snap,

207
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: it becomes much more difficult. So there's all of those

208
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: little things and nuances that you can hone in on

209
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: right now, because to your point, it is half speed.

210
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: It gets ramped up, but it's more about the teaching

211
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: and the education than anything else. Well, I think we've

212
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: talked about this just bringing back Zach Ertz and James

213
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: Connor with it. You know, obviously Connor had in a

214
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: full offseason, Butts was, you know, a midseason trade. But

215
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: you look at Steven Anderson, look at Jeff Gladney, Will Hernandez, Jalen,

216
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: Samuel So and Nick Virgil. They have a lot of

217
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: guys that have been in this system. So obviously some

218
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: new guys are gonna have to catch up, and you're

219
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: curious to see what they install and everything else. But

220
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: it's not like you're you're gonna have to reteach twenty

221
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: new guys what it's like the practice and everything else.

222
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: And again, they'll add more players, but at least it's

223
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: not complete turnover. Year four. There should be a lot

224
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: more familiarity. You can go in and maybe jump in

225
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: with both feet as far as backpedaling and figure out

226
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: what you need to work on. We talk about the

227
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: on field chemistry, how about the off field chemistry Guys

228
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: getting to know each other away from the game and

229
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: hanging out. Well, that hasn't happened just yet. But speaking

230
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: of hanging out in the community, JJ Watt on Saturday

231
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: put the message out on social media, Hey, come join

232
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: me at coach House in Scottsdale for a couple of hours.

233
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Really hadn't been able to engage the fan base since

234
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: he arrived because the pandemic. And I thought some of

235
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: the pictures and video that we saw he had a

236
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: good time. He had to make sure he was back

237
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: home with his wife to make sure he watched UNC

238
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and Duke in the Final four. But it's getting out

239
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: and about and I know you do a lot of

240
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: stuff and still continue to do stuff, Drew. But as

241
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: far as hanging out with Drew Stanton, whether it was

242
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: an East Lancing when you're at Michigan State or here

243
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: in Arizona or the number of places that you played,

244
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: it is parts of trying to figure out all, right,

245
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: if you're going to immerse yourself with the team, you

246
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,359
Speaker 1: should also immerse yourself with the community as well. Oh,

247
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: I think they go hand in hand. I mean I

248
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: was very conscious of the fact that this fan base,

249
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: especially how much they embraced us when we got here.

250
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: You know, I came in with a new regime and

251
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: there was some influx and all those things. But getting

252
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: involved with a community as part of who we are

253
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: as professional athletes because the reach that we have from

254
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: doing hospital visits, going to different charity events, and the

255
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: Cardinals charity has do such a good job. I've kind

256
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: of setting the table for you. I mean, they do

257
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: a fantastic job to be able to put different opportunities

258
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: in front of you so then you can go serve

259
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: this community. Because this community allows us to do what

260
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: we do. It allows us to feed our family, and

261
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: that was never lost on me. So getting involved and

262
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: having kids and a lot of stuff. Anything involved with kids,

263
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: I always said yes to. I mean anything golf. Outing's

264
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: thought nearly as much because you know, I don't like

265
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: to golf in Five hours on a golf course sometimes

266
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: can be a little long for me. But I still

267
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: do it because I know again how important it is

268
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: to this brand and the community that supports us. Yeah,

269
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: he does a great job in greeting himself. You know,

270
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: whether it was Wisconsin. Obviously in Houston, reason over four

271
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: or billion dollars, and now he's doing it here. And

272
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: because of the pandemic, you know, a lot of these

273
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: guys haven't been able to go out and about, but

274
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: it was nice to see him reach out to the fans.

275
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm sure we're going to see more

276
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: of this and we'll see a lot of Cardinals players

277
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: at the Sun's playoff games. So it's gonna be a

278
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: good time in the offseason where you can get back

279
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: to some normalcy. Subscribe to Arizona Cardinals podcas casts on

Speaker 1: got Anderson of the goal line touchdown. He's done a

292
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: lot of the dirty work for this Charger team, a

293
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: lot of blocky. He's played some fullback. He's lined up

294
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: at fullback on this one. Great play baked by Justin

295
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,720

307
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: Steven Anderson, MJ. But again, you're adding a tight end

Speaker 1: zach Ertz, bringing back Max Williams. You've got three other

310
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: tight ends as well. Does seem seven tight ends versus

311
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: six wide receivers on this roster at the moment, maybe

312
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: more tight end emphasis within the offense. Yeah, you know,

313
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: you're bringing in some more experience. Obviously you had Demetrius

314
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: Harris and Terrell Daniels, and those guys are free agents.

315
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: We know how deep the draft is. I don't want

316
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: to anticipate they would take a tight end in the

317
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: first couple of rounds, considering you have zach Ertz on

318
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: the contract. But you know, I think we're all kind

319
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: of intrigued with this twelve personnel. And I was listening

320
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: to Wolf recently and he thinks, you know, possibly that

321
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: they were going to run more twelve personnel. Maybe we

322
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: could see Kyler Murray under center. He said, he's just

323
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: kind of connecting the dots, so to speak. I don't

324
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: want to put words in his mouth, and that would

325
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: be more of a deep dive why this team has

326
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: struggled down the stretch, don't I don't think it's just

327
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: one thing. Obviously, you got to be healthy at certain positions.

328
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: But I think they'll bring six tight ends to camp,

329
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: and obviously they'll they'll take the top three. It is

330
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: April Drew. We've got five plus months before the regular season.

331
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: But to MJ's point, as far as connecting the dots,

332
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: what have they done in the offseason to this point

333
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: to help Kyler Murray and this offense. It has been

334
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: an emphasis on the tight end less so on the

335
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Yeah. Well, I think there's a couple of

336
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: reasons for that. Right when you look at a tight

337
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: end and we just classified as one position, but they

338
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: can be broken up a lot of different ways. There

339
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: can be a Y tight end, there could be an

340
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: F tight end where and F is more of in

341
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: the backfield, more athletic type of a guy that's a

342
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: pass catcher, something along those lines, versus a true traditional

343
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: Y tight end, per se, like a Max Williams step

344
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: of a guy that can run and block and do

345
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: all this stuff. So you can move them around, but

346
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: they're just kind of encapsulated in one position of tight

347
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: end when you throw a blanket on all of it,

348
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: So you know, a little bit different of a body type. Again,

349
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: and when you're trying to structure stuff in the offseason,

350
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: you look back and you see what you did well

351
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: what you need to improve and everything in between that,

352
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: and so in saying that when you have to run

353
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: the football, can you run the football? They were doing

354
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: that earlier in the year. They were imposing their will

355
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: at the end of games to close games out. They

356
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: couldn't established the run when they wanted to in the

357
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: second half of the season, even when they made an

358
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: emphasis of saying, hey, we can't get Kyler head as much.

359
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: We can't do all these things, So how do you

360
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: do that? You give yourself flexibility within personnel group means

361
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: to say, hey, we gain an advantage here because we

362
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: really like the fact that we can get him on

363
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: the field versus him, or we want this type of

364
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: defensive personnel on the field because they're gonna match. They're

365
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: gonna stay in nickel even if we're in twelve personnel,

366
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: so they gain an advantage there, or they stay in

367
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: base or whatever it is. So we gained him passive advantage.

368
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: So it becomes one of these things where you just

369
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: give yourself freedom to go down different paths when the

370
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: time comes. Now, we've always been talking about under center

371
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: and everything else, and we know that they were in

372
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: a lot of r po's pistol zone rates. How will

373
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: that affect his skill set if he has to go

374
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: under center where you're basically, when you're in the gun,

375
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: you can see the entire field, but when you're under center,

376
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: you got to turn your back a little bit. Talk

377
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: about that for us Layman's out there. Yeah, well, I

378
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: think part of it's just the requirement of the play right,

379
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: and I don't believe it's very hard to go under center,

380
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: especially if you're putting in a point of emphasis on

381
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: it right now and you know, we don't have access

382
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: to know what they're thinking. But at the same time,

383
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: the pistol is very much like being under center, right,

384
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: and it gets the back back in the home position

385
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: as we call it, so he's not offset. And there's

386
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: different keys, especially within this offense, that you can do,

387
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: or different game planning things of the blitz the back,

388
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: different ways on defense, or there'll slant the defensive linement

389
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: a certain way, so there's a lot of keys. When

390
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: he's balanced, you're not giving up that. So whether it

391
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: isn't the pistol or under center, it allows you the

392
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: freedom to be able to do that and then then

393
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: then becomes a number game in the run game, and

394
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: you're completely balanced, much like the Indianapolis Colts used to

395
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: be with Peyton Manning. It's you're finding the numbers. Okay,

396
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: so if the safety's dropping down here, do we want

397
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: to run to leverage or we run outside zone? All

398
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: of these little things. It gives you the opportunity to

399
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: have the pencil last because then it puts in the

400
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks lap and he can switch what side he's going to.

401
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: It allows inside zones that then hit cutbacks, and James

402
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: Connor has the ability to do all these things as

403
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: we've seen him do, so there's a lot of freedom

404
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: and being under center. From the standpoint, it creates more balance,

405
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: but it's not a necessity by any means. Anderson, again

406
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: six three two thirty, spent the past three seasons with

407
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers. He's as far as waits is concern. He's

408
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: more likely to Demetrius Harris, but not as tall. Daniels

409
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: and Harris both unrestricted free agents mentioned Max Williams still

410
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: coming off that knee injury. Don't know how healthy he's

411
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: going to be, so some depth at the tight end

412
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: position with the addition of Steven Anderson. The other move

413
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: that was made recently that we haven't had a chance

414
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: to hear from you, Strew. Is the addition of penciled

415
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: in right guard Will Hernandez, who comes over from the

416
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: New York Giants, comes in great history with Sean Coogler,

417
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden a need at right guard

418
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: has been filled. If if nothing else, and pencil that

419
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: you've got someone that you can plug in and now

420
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: solidified from left to right, your tackle, your guard, and

421
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: your center. That's huge. I mean, I think that was

422
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: definitely a point of emphasis and when you go get

423
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: a guy you're familiar with, but also that started a

424
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: handful of I means, however many games he's had, he's

425
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: been not only in the league for a while, but

426
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: he's played in a ton of games. He's started again

427
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of games, and he's seen a ton of football.

428
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: On top of that, knowing him, just the perception of

429
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: him throughout the NFL, he's got a main streak to him.

430
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: He's got a demeanor to him, which I think is

431
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: so important for offense allowment to have because he shows

432
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: up and he plays football and he protects his quarterback.

433
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: And when you have guys like that that are in

434
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: front of you, everybody around kind of harries that torch

435
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more. They have that demeanor about him

436
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: where they play with this edge. Nothing against the guys

437
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: that were here in the past, nothing against what it is,

438
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: but he's known as a guy that's more feisty. He's

439
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna mix it up. If you get near his quarterback,

440
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: he's not gonna like it. So those are guys that

441
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: I love to play with because you knew that they

442
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: had your back no matter what. He did admit that

443
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: he's going to have to figure out to learn to

444
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: deal with a mobile quarterback behind him, and he was

445
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: opening on It's like, look, it's a challenge. I'm up

446
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: for the challenge. And he's gonna have to hold his

447
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: block for a little bit longer. And that's something that

448
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: again going back to the offseason, that you kind of

449
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: figure out a little bit. All right, maybe it's one

450
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: and a half seconds. Now it's an additional split second

451
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: or full second, maybe even three seconds with Kyle Murray

452
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Well, I think more than that is

453
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: you just never give up. Right, any offensive linem would

454
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: love to be able to block for four seconds. That's

455
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: just a matter of actually being able to do it

456
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: so and saying that, I think the mindset is is

457
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: you never give up on a play because sometimes okay,

458
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: balls out here or you know certain tags if it's

459
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: a quick game, you know that as an offensive linement,

460
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: so you can cut or you can do different things.

461
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: Anything is fair game. With Kyler back there, that's what

462
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: makes him so special and so dynamic. So it is

463
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: a mindset. It is a practice type of mentality that

464
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: you have of you stick with your block, you stick

465
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: with your guy until you know that the ball has gone.

466
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: So that is something that I think he can work on,

467
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: if that's what he's alluding to more than anything else. Recently,

468
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: Will Hernandez on The Big Red Rage with Paul Calves

469
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: and mentioned the PF grades Pro Football Focus as far

470
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: as what they were last season versus what they were

471
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: and Hernandez's first season coming off that time at UTAP

472
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: with Sean Coogler, Your PF grades were the best as

473
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: a rookie of your NFL career. Could that be a

474
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: correlation to coming off all that time with Sean Coogler

475
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: and entering the league. Yeah, I definitely think there is

476
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: correlation there, and not only looking at the PF grades

477
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: but how I felt playing how I looked at my

478
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: cellf on film. You know, there was a lot of

479
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: Kugler on the tape, as you could say, and uh yeah,

480
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: and as you know, as the years went by and stuff,

481
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, uh Coogler thing was always there, but you

482
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: know it wasn't as repetitive and you didn't see it

483
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: every day as I did when I was back at

484
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: UTAP So, but yeah, Foe some correlation there, you know,

485
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: you look at it. And he mentioned also with the

486
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage that he went through four offensive line coaches.

487
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: They fired the coordinator and Jason Garrett, they fired the

488
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: head coach at the end of the year. I mean,

489
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: so obviously Daniel Jones been turned the ball over. They

490
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: can't run the football with Sacan Barkley. So there's a

491
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: lot that goes into it. But the fact that he

492
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: has started at right and left guard, that can go

493
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 1: a long way, and to me, the sweet spot when

494
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: you're signing free agencies twenty six right now, he'll be

495
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven when the season starts, and that's what you

496
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: want to get. It's a one year deal. He knows

497
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: he has to prove himself, but I'm looking forward to

498
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: see him because he's gonna mall guys in the run game. Well,

499
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: we always talk about relationships, and you look at the

500
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: relationship between James Saxon and James Connor Connors before last season.

501
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: His best year, his Pro Bowl year was with Saxon

502
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: with the Steelers. You come here on a one year,

503
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: prove a deal, if you will. Will Hernandez same thing,

504
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: one year prove a deal, and you're back to familiar personnel,

505
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: if you will, Maybe that familiar surroundings, but you understand

506
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: what you're walking into with a position coach that you're

507
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: familiar with and got the best out of you. Yeah,

508
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: and we all know at the end of the day,

509
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: Cooler is going to play the best five guys and

510
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with Josh Jones Justin Murray. You know,

511
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: we'll see Josh Jones, obviously guy that they had a

512
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: lot of high hopes for it and he didn't pan out.

513
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're giving up on him. He's going

514
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: to provide depth. Max Garcias signed with the Giants, and

515
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: then we'll see what happens with Justin Murray. You know,

516
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: he's making two million. He could play four different positions,

517
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: so you gotta have some depth there. But the key

518
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: is and you can't predict it. They just gotta stay

519
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: healthy and Hump did not play very well last year

520
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: and hopefully has a bounce back. Here nine different offensive

521
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: line combinations last season the year prior just four. Stay

522
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: healthy and maybe you have a little bit better end

523
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,200

527
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: Seat Report presented by SeatGeek. Get your seats in a

528
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: seats as we continue. Yes, it is April. Yes, the

529
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: draft is just three weeks away. There are some positions

530
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: of need, especially with that first round pick. This is

531
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Hands it off, no running room,

532
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: off the right side and back of loss up two

533
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: on the play, Saban Collins the first guy there, and

534
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: that is a big man coming down from the weak side,

535
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: shooting the gap. Saban Collins again throws over the middle,

536
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: tipped into the air and in complained he was going

537
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: for his tight end path was off the mark. Xavan

538
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: Collins at coverage that time, and it's fourth down. Saban

539
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: Collins bats that fall into the air with all of

540
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: that great length, use check in motion. It is a

541
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: quarterback drop the middle Lance's head drives the legs forward close.

542
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers are short. Saban Collins with the tackle.

543
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: Saban Collins, the rookie at two sixty playing downhill, came

544
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: in and laid some lumber. Baby didn't see a lot

545
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: of that out of Zavan Collins in twenty twenty one.

546
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: The hope is we see more of that in twenty

547
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: twenty two. That jumped from year one to year two.

548
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: As we walking back here to the Cardinals Red Sea

549
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: Report presented by seat Geek get your seats in a seat,

550
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: Craig Reel and Drew Stanton and Mike Jarecki. Zavan Collins

551
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: last year's number one overall pick the year prior, Isaiah

552
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: Simmons the number one overall pick as far as the

553
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals first round selections back to back years. Now, MG,

554
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: you're going inside linebacker Isaiah Simmons. We did see that

555
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: jump last season, but I think now with a full

556
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: offseason that even Isaiah Simmons hasn't had you get these

557
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: guys in this building and they are able to figure

558
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: out right what we did right, what we did wrong,

559
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: and really be that two beautiful trees, as Steve COmON

560
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury describe them together on the field, because we

561
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: didn't see a lot last year. Yeah, and you know,

562
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: I wonder I think it was you had the stat

563
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: a pro football Focus had in blinding up at five

564
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: different positions. I get the impression maybe that should maybe

565
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: go down in the three and I think they I

566
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: don't know if he'll ever rush the pastor but they

567
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: want him on the edge or he can cover in

568
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: the flat and make tackles in the open field. And

569
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: then Zaven Collins is gonna have to be here thumper

570
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: when it comes to the run game. So it'd be

571
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: curious to see how And then what do they do

572
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: with Nigel Earl Nick Figiel excuse me? Yeah, what do

573
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: they do with him and see more of a rotation

574
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: guy or is he gonna be on the field because

575
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: I think if you look at Isaiah Simmons slot corner

576
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: inside and then he can possibly cover tight ends, So

577
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: I would think they would maybe tail back a little bit.

578
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: Maybe that's so much on his plate. Isaiah sim Is,

579
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: according to Pro Football Focus, five different positions inside outside linebacker,

580
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: slot corner, outside corner, free safety. Zaven Collins last season

581
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: did see a lot of time late in the year

582
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: at outside linebacker. Drew is it at that point now

583
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: with two young kids that you all right narrowed down

584
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: the focus so they just figure out, all right, this

585
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: is what I This is not my full soul job,

586
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: but at least not try to throw so much at them.

587
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: That's interesting, the five different positions of inside corner and

588
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: outside corner of like this man to man, so he's

589
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: just found as guy. But Pro Football Focus has something

590
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: figured out because they're doing a good job of getting

591
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: everybody to buy into that. So, yeah, I think you

592
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: let those two guys. They're so freakishly athletic, right is.

593
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: I think it's hard and we'll talk about a little

594
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: bit later, but those that's a hard position to step

595
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: into as a young guy because there's so much think

596
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: and processing that you have to do and then also communicating.

597
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: So not only are you diagnosing with the offense is doing,

598
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: you're communicating and you're adjusting, you're adapting on the fly

599
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: and when anytime you're not up to speed. It allows

600
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: you to have to slow down to process it and

601
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: then you can't play to your athletic ability. So hopefully

602
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: they can simplify things. Yes, I mean you look at

603
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: somebody like Savan Collins and being in a later first

604
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: round pick, the thumper type of the mentality that you

605
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: want a middle linebacker. He's got to be able to

606
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: make those calls for you because he's the one that's

607
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: on the field. If he is not as stout in

608
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: the pass game as you want him to be because

609
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: he can't guard tight ends are doing this, then it changes.

610
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: But you have the luxury and the versatility of somebody

611
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: like Isaiah Simmons, and he can do all those things.

612
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,479
Speaker 1: He can line up and he can do all these

613
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: things in a base type of defense. Nick Vigil's been

614
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: in this offense or defense before. He's been with Vance Joseph,

615
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: so he knows how to do it, and maybe he's

616
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: the one calling it and they try and play and

617
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: do this stuff around. You can get creative with those

618
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: three guys on the field. If you don't have a

619
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: pass rusher, if you don't go out get somebody to

620
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: rush the passion on the edge because both those guys,

621
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: those two young guys can then be athletic and they

622
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: don't have to think. They don't have to do anything

623
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: except for go, okay, beat that one the guy across

624
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: from you and inside outside. As long as you find

625
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: your gap, it's going to give you more freedom to

626
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: do that. So the versatility that potentially exists there is

627
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: what you want, because those guys have to be on

628
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: the field. They weren't on the field and the latter

629
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: part of the year together, which is when you're talking

630
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: about back to back first round picks, investing that much

631
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: draft capital, it's a must moving forward. Yeah, you don't

632
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: want that investment on the sideline. So they need to

633
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: be on the football field. So the question is, all right,

634
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: how do they get on the field more often? Rob Frederickson,

635
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: a guest of The Big Red Rage, recently on what

636
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: he thinks could help Collins and Simmons the interior defensive

637
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: line because the Cardinals were getting gashed last year. Let's

638
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: let's be honest in the run game, that would benefit

639
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: these two guys immensely. To get just a run plug

640
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: and stuff and into your defensive linemen in there. That

641
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: is consistent that can stay healthy. That would free up

642
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: the athletic ability of a Zavan Collins Isaiah Simmons and

643
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: allow them to run and to fill those gaps and

644
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: to not have these big offensive linemen in their face

645
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: the whole time. Defensive line is at an option for

646
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals at pick number twenty three, or if not

647
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: in the first round and the second or a third round.

648
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: It's certainly a position of need. You brought up edge

649
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: rusher in the fact that right now this team doesn't

650
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: have that prototypical edge rusher outside of Marcus Golden. But

651
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: when you look at first round needs and someone who

652
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: can come in right away, start Week one and be consistent,

653
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: we didn't see that the past two years with a

654
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: first round draft pick. Is there a position that makes

655
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: more sense for the Cardinals that the Cardinals can count

656
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: on to be that guy for seventeen straight games? Yeah? Well,

657
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: I think you know. It's very well documented how Steve

658
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: Kim approaches the draft with all of his guys on board,

659
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: right if they do all of his different simulations, is

660
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: going to come out in different every single time because

661
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: it's always best available, which he truly buys into and

662
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: believes in, saying that if that aligns with where you

663
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: see in need. And Rob did a great job of

664
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of outlining that defensive line is something that it's

665
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: not sexy. So you draft this guy in the first round,

666
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna sit there and say, oh, I know

667
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: that guy from Mississippi State. But if he does his job,

668
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: it allows everybody else around you to be better at

669
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: third job. And when you've invested that much and the

670
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: second line of defense, if you will at linebacker, you

671
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: want to make sure that first line of defense is

672
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: as stout as possible and those guys are grab and

673
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: you guys that are there and taking the ability for

674
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: guys to come downhill and run downhill at the linebacker

675
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: position in the run game, being able to diagnose things

676
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: because they don't have to worry about it. Those defensive

677
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: linemen are crafty, they know how to do it. And again,

678
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: the edge rushers, all of those guys, you've got to

679
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: be smart, especially in this how much guys are dropping

680
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: out and doing different stuff. You can't just plug and

681
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: play a guy. So the middle to late round picks

682
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: of the first round get kind of tricky because where

683
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: do they fit into what you want to do? Because

684
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: the first round pick is the first round pick. You

685
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: don't want to miss on those. You want to be

686
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: able to put those guys in and be able to

687
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: benefit from having them right away. And that's not always

688
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: the case, but a defensive lineman can do that, and

689
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: hopefully that's the case come this April. You know, I

690
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: think when you start looking at how you build a roster,

691
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: obviously they start with quarterback, left tackle, pass rusher, and

692
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: then corner. But the impression I get from Steve is

693
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: they want to be better up the middle. Okay, and

694
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: so you look at you know, DeVante Wyatt from Georgia.

695
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's he's a really good player, Jordan

696
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: Davis from Georgia. So I mean, depending on if they

697
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: don't get if they don't resign a G Green or

698
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: another wide receiver, then I would think wide receiver would

699
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: be in play. And then do they go for a

700
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: pass rusher, corner Daniel Jeremiah. There are twenty deep, so

701
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: do you find one in the second round. So it's

702
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: going to be interesting who's on the board in what

703
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: direction they go at twenty three. But they gotta get

704
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: they gotta get a big run stopper. In the middle.

705
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: And I think we all focus on the pass ruship,

706
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: but teams were running right up the middle on this team,

707
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: and you know, Zavin Collins is going to have to

708
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: go through a lot of trials and errors because Jordan

709
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: Hicks was making those tackles five or six years down

710
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Yeah, that's a great point because

711
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: they made a point of emphasis last year to solidify

712
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: the middle for Kyler right on offense. And they also

713
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: made a point of emphasis to get the middle right

714
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: between the safeties and the linebackers. So the next piece

715
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: of that would be the interior defensive lineman. And look,

716
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: you're in a league where there's three teams. They are

717
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: run first, they are trying to run the football. They

718
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: stick with the run game. You've got to be able

719
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: to do that because even in that Rams game, you

720
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: know they started kind of breaking off these chunk type

721
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: of runs. If you have a guy that allows you

722
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: to get downhill and puts them behind the chains, you're

723
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna put yourself in a better position. So whether or

724
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: not that guy's out there, I'm not that well studied

725
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: to be able to tell you the defensive lineman that

726
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: exists out there because maybe you can get them in

727
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: the second round, maybe you can get them in the

728
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: third round. These space eaters that have the ability to

729
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: do that, because if you feel good about maybe a

730
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: corner or maybe somebody like that, where guys aren't going

731
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: to have to think as much and be able to

732
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: play and rely on that athletic ability, it's better. But

733
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: as far as wide receiver, that's another tough position to

734
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: come into because you have to be able to identify

735
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: coverage and cliff system, you have to be able to

736
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: identify hots and sights and all these different aspects that

737
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: we've seen some of these guys that we've drafted high

738
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: in the past not be able to make that jump

739
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: right away, and some of them are still on the roster.

740
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: So rondel Moore, you're looking for more from him. Andy

741
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: Isabella is still on the roster right now. Guys that

742
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: you would love to see kind of step up to

743
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: the plate because it is hard. It's something that's asked

744
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: of you, and it's a thinking portion of it, but

745
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: then there's the physical portion of it. And then when

746
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: those don't allow a line correctly, you're going to struggle.

747
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: And then your conference starts the waiver. No, I think

748
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: you bring up a valid point because in a receiver

749
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: in this offense, you've got to be in a recognized

750
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: coverage because you've got to change your route in the

751
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: quarterback is going to trust you when you look at

752
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: a plug and play guy, edge rusher or defense line

753
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to exactly. Yeah, that's I mean,

754
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: that's how I see it in my eyes, and the

755
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: proofs in the pudding from what we've seen the last

756
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: couple of years here. So hopefully that can change and

757
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: those guys that are on the roster can step up

758
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: because there's open There are a number of needs, just

759
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: a matter of how you address that. With respect to

760
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: the draft, first round, second round, or third round, Cardinals

761
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: don't pick again after round number three until the sixth

762
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: round and the two hundred and fifteenth overall selection, at

763
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,799

00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: at the middle of the field in the end zone.

770
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: It is, oh my goodness, it's called he's caught her

771
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 1: in touchdown. You can't be serious. Time downe for green bang.

772
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, there are no words. It was like

773
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. So at the end of the end

774
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: of the regulation, you're like, two hill, Mary's right too,

775
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: Hell marry about the what are you doing on the

776
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: first round? I knocked that ball down on the second one,

777
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: so like you're just so dejected. And Aaron just did this.

778
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: So I'm going out to the coin toss. I'm like, please, Lord,

779
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 1: just let us win this coin toss because we can't

780
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: go into overtime one defense after he just did that,

781
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: and so we got fortunate we able to win the

782
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: coin toss and b a Cam right over to me

783
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: was I look there, it is what we want to run.

784
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: I was like, cool coats, bless, run for it. And

785
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: I started running and like nobody whip me. I was

786
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 1: like you, that's cool. I liked it fits us. White

787
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: open one of the thirty five mos. There he's in

788
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: the morning of the fifty turns the field of the

789
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: forty five from the morning thirty five The runs thirty

790
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: twenty five twenty fits in the near side down to

791
00:37:54,600 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: the farm tackle. There a course of ball, so Larry

792
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald on the other side of the field and threw

793
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: it while moving on the run. And Larry Fitzgerald the

794
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: legend to a gober and did the rest. I told

795
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: Wolf I actually phoned up to the to the bond

796
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: right when overtime I was starting. I told him listening,

797
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the left, I'm gonna break a

798
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: few times. I'm in contempler to five. So get what

799
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, prepared and so you so you look

800
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: good and the sound bite can live on forever. And

801
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: he took the advice and ran with it. Snapped the

802
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: Palmer rolls off head. It's a pitch defits running training.

803
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: He hit the ends down the shovel past in a

804
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: touchdown of the wind. But Cardinals and Dance to the

805
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game on a shovel pass, of all things,

806
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: and one of the craziest games ever fits on the

807
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: shovel pass Stars and the Cardinals winning it overtime twenty

808
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: six to twenty eight. Larry Fitzgerald is only Larry Fitzgerald

809
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: ken walking us through the ending of the twenty fifteen

810
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: Divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers, from his

811
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: subtle jab of Justin Bethel to another suttle jab of

812
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley. But a moments well, you had the best

813
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: of you, drew of anyone sidelines for that one watching

814
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer perhaps make the most athletic move of his career,

815
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: knocking into his own offensive lineman, spinning away and then

816
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: finding a wide open Larry Fitzgerald. We bring this all

817
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: up because that can no longer happen in the National

818
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: Football League, at least in the postseason. Based off new

819
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: overtime rules, each team now gets a possession like it.

820
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: Don't like it? How do you feel about now? All

821
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: of a sudden we got to play fair? Josh Allen

822
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: camp Be on the sidelines. Each team must get the ball. Well,

823
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: first of all, we told Larry just score and then

824
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: went after the shovel pass. I mean, the younger Larry

825
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald scores there, right, But he the showman that he is,

826
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: he just wanted to hear the Larry Larry. But that's

827
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: the loudest I've ever heard of stadium in my life.

828
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I still got chills listening into that lead

829
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: in now because I put myself back in there, and yes,

830
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: I had a great seat. Thank you for that reminder,

831
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: And that's all I was thinking in my mind, as

832
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: like Carson's the one that made the play. Larry was

833
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: just wide open, you know. So it yeah, oh for sure,

834
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: completely biased. But I personally don't like this rule. I

835
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: don't like the change. I think that looking at the

836
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: Competition committee, and I get why they did it, right,

837
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: I understand that, But at the same time, there is

838
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: a certain way to play this game, and that's just

839
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: how it goes. Right. You look at Cincinnati Bengals. They

840
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: stopped Kansas City the very next week and they went

841
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: on to win a football game. But ratings in the

842
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: NFL matter, people being in the viewership the intention of

843
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: doing that. So I get all of those components and

844
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: that goes into the decision making process of it. Because

845
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen never got a chance. At the same time,

846
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: the defense stops him to get a chance. So I

847
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: think that it's tough. It really is, because you played

848
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: an entire regular season and it comes down to that

849
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: and that football game in general. That is why we're changing.

850
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: This rule was so tremendous and I loved every second

851
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: of it. Unfortunately it came down the way that it

852
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 1: came down because Kansas City was playing so well that

853
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: that didn't allow them a chance to do it. Craig,

854
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: somebody probably won't have one overtime game in the playoffs

855
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: next year. All this talk about trying to make it fair,

856
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: there will not be a single game that goes into

857
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 1: overtime next year in the oppostseason. Regular season rules stayed

858
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: the same as far as overtime, right. Let me ask

859
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: you this, So if you win the coin toss, you

860
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: take the ball or for in the other team scores

861
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: are touched on. Do you go for two on the

862
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: other end? How do you think the analytics you're a

863
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: big fan of that. Yeah, well no, I mean that's

864
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: all going to go into play of it, right. You

865
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: might have the percentages already, but no, I do think

866
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: that's it. My mindset being an offensive players, I want

867
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: the ball to regardless. It does not matter to me

868
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden you put them on their

869
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: heels and comes a different mindset. There's the flow of

870
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: the game you take into consideration. At the same time,

871
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: and depending on the structure of the team, if you

872
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: have a great defense that you want to roll back

873
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: out there, like Larry said, like we didn't want to

874
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: throw that defense back out there. You know, Justin did

875
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: everything he possibly could, but just didn't make those plays

876
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: and some of those guys are gassed. All of that

877
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: is taking a consideration. So you can't just sit there

878
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: and say it's cut and dry. But I would want

879
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: the ball in my quarterbacks hands, leading down the field,

880
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: doing all of these things on the onset because I

881
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: want to be the aggressor. I mean, even in the

882
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: regular season football game, if I won the coin toss,

883
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: that would never defer. That was the big news coming

884
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: out of the annual league meeting. Now a couple of

885
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: days after that, there was perhaps even bigger news. Again,

886
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: it's great that we can have Drew Stanton here on

887
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented by sik get your

888
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: seats in a seats, But it's your former head coach

889
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: Bruce arians announcing that he was going to step down

890
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: step into the front office with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

891
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: and Todd Bowles is out the head coach. The Buccaneers

892
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: surprised or do you know things that maybe the rest

893
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: of us don't know. No. I was completely surprised. How

894
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: much time do we have here to make sure I

895
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: don't go over it? Because I had a complete blunder

896
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: of like why you don't text in a hurry? And

897
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay sharing this because obviously BA and are close,

898
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: but I had no idea and I'm walking out the

899
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: door and I missed a call from Aq Shipley and

900
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: I texted back. I was like, Hey, what's going on

901
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: in Tampa? I was like, I'm headed to my son's

902
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,479
Speaker 1: baseball game. I saw BA retired. I was like, Tom

903
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: didn't force this, did he? And I go to the

904
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: baseball game. After the game, I get a text from

905
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: BA and he said, hey kid, it's me Now. He

906
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: didn't force it. He's like I just wanted to do

907
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: in my own terms. And I was like, oh, man,

908
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: you talk about day blunder. I said, b A and

909
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 1: text on retirement, saying did Tom force you to retire?

910
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: And he was like no, I didn't. But having that

911
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: relationship with BA, I think a lot of people were

912
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: really surprised, but that was kind of his whole objective anyways, right,

913
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: He is all about creating a culture, creating a nucleus,

914
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: and he's so good of taking care of everybody, all

915
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: of the assistant coaches, making sure that everything was in place.

916
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: And Todd Bowles is going to do a tremendous job,

917
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: right you look at what he is and having been

918
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: in that locker room, been around Todd, how people gravitate

919
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: towards him, what the players are saying about him. BA

920
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: just felt like now was the time to step away,

921
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,320
