1 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: The Cardinals end twenty twenty three with a win thirty 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: five thirty one in Philly over the Eagles. An exciting win, 3 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: so exciting that here on this final touchdown by running 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: back James Conner, Owner Michael Bidwell, general manager, many awesome 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: for it, Unable to hold in their excitement, given high fives, 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: hugs all around. Very exciting game. Can't wait to talk 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: about it with you here on Morning Scramble presented by 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: Verizon from the Sea Geek Studios, alongside Jody Jackson and 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: Zach Gershman. I'm Danny Surak. No better way to start 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: off the new year than a victory Monday, after the 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals go toe to toe with a top NFC team, 12 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: come back from a fifteen point deficit, went on the 13 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: road at the link, just the way everyone drew up 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: head coach Jonathananon's return to Philly's. 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: At exactly that was the last thing you needed on 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: the Bengal car took fully Get that. I mean the 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: fact that they went into enemy territory knowing how hostile 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: of an environment it was going to be, and to 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: put on that type of performance they out. 20 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: Phillied in Philly. 21 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: That's what they did to them they out Eagles in Philadelphia. 22 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: It was absolutely incredible and to see how they performed 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: under that sort of adversity. I was talking to Michael Wilson. 24 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: He said, there's two guarantees in life and in football, 25 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: it's gonna be adversity. And the Cardinals pushed through it well. 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 4: And that's a great example, Michael Wilson with you know, 27 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 4: the inability to make that play, the miscommunication and then 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 4: coming back being a huge part of this win with 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 4: a two point conversion and a touchdown. You know, and 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 4: I look at this game. It's a game that'll be 31 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 4: remembered for a very long time and it should be 32 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 4: a signature win. And how sweet must it have been 33 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 4: for Jonathan Gannon to go back in there and dice 34 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 4: up that defense, that defense which clearly misses him. There's 35 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 4: no question about that. But this Cardinals team, even when 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 4: they were down twenty one to six, even in that 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 4: first half, they possessed the ball. 38 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 5: I loved the game plan. 39 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 4: I loved the idea of the keep away from Jalen 40 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 4: Hurts in that offense. The only problem was they made 41 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 4: a couple of big plays to Julio Jones and the 42 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 4: Cardinals weren't able to be mistake free in that first half, 43 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 4: but boy Kyler Murray put on a clinic James Connor 44 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 4: in the running game, the offensive line. You can go 45 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 4: on and on with the heroes in this one, guys, 46 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 4: and it had to be sweet to be there. And again, 47 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 4: it's the kind of a win that, yeah, it's just 48 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 4: the fourth win of the season, but it is a 49 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 4: massive building block for what is going to go on 50 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 4: here in the future, hopefully as soon as next year, 51 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 4: and really under the regime of Monty Austin Fort and 52 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon, a belief system that you can see that 53 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 4: all the players believe in. 54 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: It was sweet to be down there on the field 55 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: when you're hearing Eagles fans boo their team because they're 56 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: having to call a time out because they're not ready. 57 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: And when head Coachohn again it makes his return and 58 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: has a dominating performance the way he did. Yeah, Eagles 59 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: fans were not happy and impress of four hundred and 60 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: forty nine total yards by the Cardinals offense, almost perfectly 61 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: balanced in the run in past four touchdowns, self inflicting 62 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: wounds in the first half, the problems getting stalled in 63 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: the red zone, a pick six in the red zone 64 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: return for a ninety nine yard touchdown, and despite having 65 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: time of possess thirteen more minutes than the Eagles in 66 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: the first half, still down fifteen. However, they turned it 67 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: around in the second half, all four possessions and touchdowns, 68 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: not a single punt all game. Jody how to quarterback 69 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's composure lead the Cardinals back to a victory. 70 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: Well, it was a huge part of this because you 71 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 4: get down, you throw that pick and regardless of whose 72 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 4: fault it was, it was a ninety nine yard interception return. 73 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: And you're right, Danny, this team possessed the ball, and 74 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 4: not only in the first half of the entire game 75 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 4: it was forty to twenty. The offense was able to 76 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: sustain drives. I said going into this game, I want 77 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: to see them sustain drives, finished drives, those. 78 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 5: Gotta have it plays. 79 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray is the reason why they were able to 80 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: convert on a few of those. Also, of course, the 81 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: physicality of James Connor on that final touchdown, that was 82 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 4: a thing of beauty going up against Kevin Bayart, a 83 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 4: two time Pro Bowl safety, standing there at the goal 84 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 4: line and James Connor was not going to be denied. 85 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 4: It was one on one and James Connor won that battle. 86 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 4: But you're right, Kyler Murray, this is another game for him, which, 87 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 4: by the way, he seems to always play pretty well 88 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: against the Eagles. In twenty twenty he had over four 89 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 4: hundred yards against the Eagles and Jalen Hurts in that battle. 90 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 5: But this one felt different. 91 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 4: This felt like a young man who he's talked about 92 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: the fact that through the injury, has become more resilient 93 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: and he's become stronger and more mature in a lot 94 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: of ways. And we saw that on the field. He 95 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 4: was trusting everyone around him. He was trusting what he 96 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 4: was seeing to be able to make some crucial throws 97 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 4: to win this game. 98 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: The Murray magic, especially in the James Connor you know, 99 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: touchdown reception, the fact that he was able to swing 100 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: the rock around and it wasn't just to Trey McBride. 101 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: It was to Greg Dorchell, to Rondell Morriles, to the 102 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: running backs, the offense as a whole. They were clicking 103 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: in so many ways in the run game, especially to 104 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: put up those four hundred and forty nine yards total 105 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: net yards against the Philadelphia Eagles is not by mistake. 106 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: I understand that the Philadelphia Eagles defense has been struggling. 107 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: They have taken a step back compared to last season 108 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: when John Thagana was the defensive coordinator, But that's no excuse. 109 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: You got to give the Cardinal the credit where it's due. 110 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: The two hundred and twenty eight pass yards, the two 111 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one rush yards right there, the four 112 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: touchdowns in all different facets of it. And you could 113 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 2: go back to that miscommunication between Michael Wilson and Kyler 114 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: Murray and say that that could have been the dagger 115 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: the link. If there was a roof, it would have exploded. 116 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: That's how loud it got there. But this team did 117 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: not back down, not one bit. And the fact that 118 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: that resiliency, that adversity, how you're able to push through it, 119 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: that is what ultimately pushed the Cardinals to victory in 120 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: This also. 121 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: Shows Murray's leadership, trusting his receivers despite mistakes earlier in 122 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: the game. Second half, Murray went thirteen of fourteen, one 123 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three passing yards, three touchdowns. Oh and 124 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: that was with missing two days of practice this week 125 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: because he was sick. No big deal, No big deal. 126 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: Murray was poised under pressure. He led this team to 127 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: a comeback win and when the two minute warning went 128 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: off the second half, head coach Sean the Gannon said 129 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: that in his headset, he looked into Kyler Murray's eyes 130 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: told the coaches we're gonna win this. And Murray said 131 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: he just has that killer instinct, which is what you 132 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: need to have those type of comeback wins. Murray said 133 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: this season has been tough, disappointing losses. Zach said he 134 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: wanted to finish strong, finish the right way. That's what 135 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: they're doing this they are. 136 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 2: JG told k one, he said, go win it one, 137 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: and Kyler said, you don't even need to tell me that. 138 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: That's obviously going to be the intention and the plan 139 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: and for them to put it out in this way 140 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 2: and to have all the season that the Cardinals have 141 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: had so many games where they've been so close and 142 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: they haven't been able to push through it. And I 143 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: know so many times throughout morning scram but we've talked 144 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: about how this is not a team that plays like 145 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: their record. Yes, your record is what it is, but 146 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: they don't play like that. They don't play like a 147 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: team that just picked up their fourth win and were struggling, 148 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: because a team that was fighting for you know, was 149 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 2: towards the bottom half, was looking already potentially towards next year. 150 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 2: They would have laid down at twenty one six and 151 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: would not have done anything about it. But the fact 152 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: that they were able to push through it obviously meant 153 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: something to JG. And the players in the locker room 154 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: love Jonathan Gannon and that's why they wanted to do 155 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 2: it for him, do it for Nick Rollinson, a lot 156 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: of the other guys in the locker room that returned 157 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: to Philadelphia, but from the top down, from the general 158 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: manager of Monte Austin, for Mike bid While we saw 159 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: it in the video there, this was a win and 160 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: a moment that they all really needed and fortunately they 161 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: got it. 162 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that it just shows and we 163 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 4: talked about all week long, you know, doing it for JG. 164 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 4: And he downplayed it, which is not surprising, but I 165 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 4: think the players truly felt that way, and James Connor 166 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 4: said so after the game. I mean, this is a 167 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 4: guy that has done everything right. He had glowing reviews 168 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 4: from the players in Philadelphia and Yeah, when you leave 169 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 4: to take a head coaching job, people are going to 170 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: be upset, There's no question about that. But I sense 171 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: that from the players that they wanted to get this 172 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 4: for him, but they wanted to get it for again. 173 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 5: What is building here? 174 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 4: Because we saw all the things that Jonathan Gannon talked 175 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 4: about when he took the job here, the violence in particular. 176 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 4: I mean, you saw James Connor running with that reckless 177 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 4: abandon you saw this line, you saw Trey McBride springing 178 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 4: Connor and Carter and the running backs in the running game. 179 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 4: I mean, this was really the kind of a win. 180 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 4: The way that they won this game, to me, shows 181 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 4: also what kind of football they want to play each 182 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 4: and every week. Danny and I think, again, we're gonna 183 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 4: get another chance here, one more game, but again going 184 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 4: into next year with a retold roster. And by the way, 185 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 4: this game goes a long way to showing who's gonna 186 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 4: be here, and we saw a lot of Hey, we 187 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 4: know there are some guys that are part of this, right, 188 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 4: They're cemented in this because of the way they played 189 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 4: this game, and they just need to continue to show 190 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 4: it time and time again. 191 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: One of those players cemented in the future of this organization. 192 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: Running back James Connor one hundred and twenty eight rushing 193 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: yards on twenty six carries, one receiving one rushing touchdown, 194 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: an incredible one handed touchdown catch after Kyler Murray escaped 195 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: the sack, got out of the pocket and found James Connor. 196 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: Your true workhorse was also with some help by running 197 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: back Michael Carter, who is more slippery than a stick 198 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: of butter. Carter with some crucial carries, Zach, what do 199 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have in a one to two punch with 200 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: Connor and Carter? 201 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: They have exactly that. 202 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: It could be one of the better running back duos 203 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: in the NFL, especially to have that power back in 204 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: James Connor than to have that slippery you can saw 205 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 2: he juked out Ali Rix. He was like, yeah, it 206 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: was that's the type of move you haven't maddened, but 207 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: like you have to put like the type of skill 208 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: in the boost to have a player to even do that. 209 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: The fact that Michael Carter just did that like that 210 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: and made sure that to get that extra couple of 211 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: yards out there was absolutely incredible. And to have that 212 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: knowing that James Connor, you're gonna give him the rock 213 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: plenty of different times, knowing that you could have him 214 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: go to the sideline, catches brat a little bit and 215 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: put a dynamic, shifty running back like Michael Carter in there, 216 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: and you have the pass protection from Amario de Mercado 217 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: as your third the running back duo and honestly, the 218 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 2: running back trio could be one of the better ones 219 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: in the NFL. 220 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Michael Carter has been such a big 221 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 4: part of this last few weeks. And then definitely it's 222 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 4: funny they go high on him for the tackle and 223 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: can't quite he just slips right out of it. 224 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 5: It's just a lot of fun to watch. 225 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 4: And again I think that you know when you see 226 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 4: he and James Connor, and James Connor was the first 227 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 4: one there when he scored that touchdown to be happy 228 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 4: for him. It's a really it's a really good room 229 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 4: as it is, so again another one of those positions 230 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 4: where you say, you know, yes, we're building for the future, 231 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 4: Yes there are going to be changes, but you see 232 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: some massive building blocks in that running back room. 233 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 5: But yeah, James Connor, what can you say about him? 234 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: He plays the game the way that you would want 235 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 4: to see every football play football player play the game, 236 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 4: and you know, it was quite a battle that I 237 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift was incredibly physical too, leading with his head a. 238 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 5: Lot of the time where Connor uses the arm. 239 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 4: But quite a battle Royale there with Swift and Buddha 240 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 4: Baker a couple of times. But to see James Connor 241 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 4: help this team get that emotional lift that they needed 242 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 4: to get over the top was huge, one of. 243 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: Those emotional leaders. It was balanced for the Cardinals in 244 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: the run. In the past, we haven't seen a lot 245 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: of production from the wide receivers as of late. That changed. 246 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: Greg Dortch seven catches on seven targets eighty two yards, 247 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: Michael Wilson four catches for thirty five yards, a touchdown 248 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: and that two point conversion. Jody, what was different this 249 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: week from the wide receivers that we haven't seen as 250 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: of late to have that production, well, it. 251 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 4: Just it was all coming together. They were really connecting. 252 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 4: I felt like Kyler Murray was trusting where they were 253 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 4: going to be. And again it's after that horrible miscommunication 254 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 4: and ninety nine yard interception return, and I think everyone 255 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 4: was just watching that thinking, oh boy, you know, every 256 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: time the Cardinals, Kyler Murray tries to go to a 257 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 4: wide out, something bad happens or it's an incompletion, and 258 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: to come back to that and be able to hit 259 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 4: Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, you know, those were the key 260 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 4: guys in the receiving game as far as you know. 261 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: You looked at Trey McBride early. He had some catches, 262 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 4: but they were clearly trying to take away Trey McBride. 263 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 4: So this team needed to go to the guys they 264 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 4: had out there. I think there was a mentality this week. 265 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 4: Of course I wasn't in the meeting rooms, but I 266 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 4: think it was, Look, we don't have Hollywood Brown. He's 267 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 4: not even going to try to start this game. He's 268 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 4: on IR. I think you have to trust the guys 269 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: that are out there. You have to play with the 270 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: wide receivers that are out there. And I think those 271 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 4: wide receivers knew that as well. They knew this was 272 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 4: an opportunity, and for Greg Dortch, it's just been a 273 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 4: progression of what we've seen. For Michael Wilson, though, it 274 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 4: was really reassuring because you know, we know what his 275 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 4: potential could beef. 276 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 5: But Dorsch you know, we've talked about him the last 277 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 5: few years. 278 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 4: When he gets a chance, you always see something in 279 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 4: him that you I go back to the old days here, 280 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 4: I'm gonna date myself. 281 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 5: Dave McGinnis. 282 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 4: The juju, right, He's got the juju and he always 283 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: tries to make something happen, whether it's in the kick 284 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 4: return game or or as a wide receiver. But you know, 285 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: he's playing for a job all always, and I think 286 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 4: you know what he's trying to do is going to 287 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 4: be noticed by the coaches. 288 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: Well, that's a good point. He's every single play, Zach, 289 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: he's playing as if it's his last. He is hard 290 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: to bring down, especially for a smaller receiver. He's not 291 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: an easy tackle. 292 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, the size, it's not the matter of the size 293 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: of the dog, but it's the fight and the dog, 294 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: whatever the saying is. 295 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: I mean, he's got that dog mentality. 296 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: To Greg Dortch, he is and it doesn't matter which 297 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: facet of the game because he does have that special 298 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 2: teams component of it too, kick return, putt return. He 299 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: is dynamic in a lot of different ways, and he 300 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: is tough to bring down. He's a physical runner and 301 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: when he is brought down. You see him pop right 302 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: back up. No matter what, He's not going to show 303 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 2: any signs of hurt. But I think as a whole 304 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: with this wide receiver room. When I was talking to 305 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: Michael Wilson, he said, we heard the noise, we heard 306 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 2: what everyone. 307 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: Was saying about us. 308 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: But if you watch the tape, it's not a matter 309 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 2: of it being Kyler's fault or the receiver's fault. Kyler 310 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: Murray's missed majority of the season. He didn't participate in 311 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: OTAs he started working with Michael Wilson getting ready for 312 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens in Week eight. And that's that's the 313 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: type of situation that obviously you don't really want to 314 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 2: take into account. You want the chemistry to just click 315 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 2: right away. But you could even see with Hollywood Brown 316 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: the chemistry was not fully there with him and Kyler Murray, 317 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: and it takes time. That's why off seasons are as 318 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 2: valuable as they are. 319 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: That's why OTA's. 320 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: Training camp, preseason, all these type of moments throughout the 321 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: season that lead to the regular season, that's why they're 322 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: so important. But in this one, they heard the noise 323 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 2: and they wanted to silence the Dowters. They silenced the 324 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 2: Dowters in a lot of different ways. Nobody had the 325 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: Cardinals beating the Philadelphia Eagles in this one. So the 326 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: wide receiver stepped up and the Cardinals all fifty three 327 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: because it did take all fifty three stepped up in 328 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: this one. 329 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 1: Impressive performance by the Cardinals defense. Their defense held the 330 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: Eagles to just two hundred and seventy five total yards 331 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: enter the game. Arizona had the worst run defense in 332 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: the league, held the Eagles to less than one hundred 333 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: rushing yards. They kept quarterback Jalen Hurts in the pocket, 334 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: put some pressure on hurt something we haven't seen a 335 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: lot from this pass rush unit the last couple of weeks. 336 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: The Eagles boast one of the most potent wide receivers 337 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: Duo and aj Brown and DeVante Smith zero touchdowns combined 338 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: eighty three receiving yards for those two. Last week against 339 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: the Bears, the Cardinals struggled in stopping containing a mobile 340 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: quarterback in justin fields. Not the case this week against 341 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: Jalen hurt Zach What was the difference maker? 342 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: That was an emphasis going into this week. 343 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: They saw the fact that justin fields hurts you with 344 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: his legs and the ability to extend. 345 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 3: Plays, and that was what they said. They said, yes, 346 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: it does help. 347 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: Budda Baker spoke a little bit about it over the 348 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: fact that you did just play against a mobile quarterback, 349 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: and I know you asked Buddha if he likes playing 350 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: against mobile quarterbacks and. 351 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: He said, I don't think you like that. She did 352 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: not very fun. 353 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 3: He was not thrilled about it. 354 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: And then you were able to I see in the 355 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 2: game why they didn't enjoy it as much. And Justin 356 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: Fields beat the Cardinals using his legs and through play extension. 357 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: They went into this one knowing what Jalen Hurts and 358 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: his ability to have Justin Fields is a good player. 359 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is even better. He led the Eagles to 360 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: the super Bowl last season. In this game, though, Jalen 361 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: Hurts had his moments and he had it flashes, but 362 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: they were able to put pressure on him, and the touchdowns. 363 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 3: Weren't based off of play extension. 364 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 2: When he scrambled out to the right side found Dallas 365 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: godd It there for the touchdown. The different place to 366 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: Julio Jones. The fact that this was Julio Jones two 367 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: touchdowns in this one. He was not the type of 368 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: wide receiver you were expecting to have the type of 369 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: performance that he has, because you mentioned DeVonta Smith and 370 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: AJ Brown and those are the type of players that 371 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: you expect to have those big type of games. It 372 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: was Julio Jones, But I think in general with this defense, 373 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: they go there's no I know that there's zero sacks 374 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: on the board there, but they put pressure on him 375 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: in a way that we have not seen from this 376 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: Cardinals pass rush in quite some time. 377 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 4: I feel like, you know, for me, it was they 378 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 4: hung in there, This defense hung in there, you know, 379 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 4: and there was a key you know, situation in the 380 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 4: third quarter right after Carter scores that touchdown and then 381 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 4: you know they had to punt and they were going 382 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 4: to match the Cardinal you know, it was the Cardinals 383 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 4: had to match them in coming back from that twenty 384 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 4: one to six deficit, and then all of a sudden, 385 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 4: you're like, this is going to be a shootout. And 386 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 4: I felt that way going in. I felt like the 387 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 4: offense would have to match what the Eagles were doing. 388 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 4: And the great news is they absolutely did. They not 389 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 4: only matched it, but they really surpassed it because they 390 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 4: possessed the. 391 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 5: Ball for forty minutes in this game. 392 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 4: But that particular possession when I look at it, you know, 393 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 4: it actually ended on a deep pass that went through 394 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 4: Demonta Smith's hands, So that was big, you know, and 395 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 4: I think when I say hung in there, it was 396 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 4: just providing that resistance to not give up too many 397 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 4: big plays. And Jalen Hurts, credit to him. Even later 398 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 4: in that third quarter, or actually was the start of 399 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. You know, Hurts was trying to run 400 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 4: and there was one play where Buddha Baker was there. 401 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 4: He was chased down on the second and two, but 402 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 4: then on third and four, you know, credit to Hurts, 403 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 4: he still found Goddard for that touchdown, and that was 404 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: where you're thinking, this is going to be. This is 405 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 4: gonna be that shootout that we kind of thought about. 406 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 4: But credit to the defense again for hanging in there, 407 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 4: just continuing to play despite even injuries during the game. 408 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 5: Dante Stills I believe, left. 409 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: The game in that fourth quarter and really just complimentary 410 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 4: football in the finest way because you knew how this 411 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 4: game was shaping up. You felt like it was going 412 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 4: to be Hurtz and Murray going after. 413 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: It and the irony of it is the fact that 414 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: we talk about Jonathangan's return. 415 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: A big part of it is his. 416 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 2: Familiarity with that Philadelphia Eagles offense going against them at 417 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 2: practice every single day for the previous two seasons. 418 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 3: And that's something that Jalen Hurts brought up postgame. He said, 419 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon. 420 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 2: Knew kind of how I like to play. He said, 421 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 2: I've sat in these meeting rooms with JG. I've spoken 422 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: to him about what I like, what I don't like, 423 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: and you were able to see them implement it into 424 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: this game plan. And Nick Sirianni brought up a game 425 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 2: from last season when Jonathangan it was the defensive coordinator 426 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 2: in the structure when they played the Washington Commanders, and 427 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders controlled time of possession and they did 428 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: not want to give the Philadelphia Eagles offense the ball back, 429 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 2: and the Washington Commanders won that game in another shootout. 430 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 3: So that's what I think Jonathan Gannon and Nick Sirianni. 431 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: Nick Sirianni mentioned that that could have been the game plan. 432 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: That's what he's expecting was the game plan because they 433 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 2: saw how Washington was able to come away with the win. 434 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 3: Last season and this one the Cardinals. They were able 435 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 3: to do it. 436 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: Cardinals defense on the field for a season low forty 437 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: nine snaps. Scannon made his return to Philly, where he 438 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: was the defensive coordinator of the previous two years, coached 439 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: a top ten defense, boasted both years. Seventy sacks last 440 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: season led them to a Super Bowl. Not victory, but 441 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: so the Super Bowl game. And that's the problem because 442 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: that's where the Eagles fans were not very happy when 443 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: Gannon left Philly and took the job here with the Cardinals. 444 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: They did not have nice things to say about Gannon, 445 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: although he said going into this game it was just 446 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: another game, the next game on the schedule for him, 447 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: it was all about competing. Post game, we heard from 448 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: the players, even if Gannon didn't want to say he 449 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: wanted this win a little more, Zach, the players definitely 450 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: wanted this win a little more for their head coach. 451 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 2: The players heard everything that was being said when Jonathananna 452 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: was announced as the Cardinals head coach, and they've kind 453 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 2: of kept their receipts a little bit. When the schedule 454 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: was released and they saw that this was a matchup 455 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 2: and that they were going to Philly on New Year's Eve. 456 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 2: They knew that that's what it was gonna need to be. 457 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 2: I mean, you could see Trey McBride's tweet right there. 458 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 3: That was fun. This team had a lot of fun 459 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 3: doing it. 460 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: It's a brotherhood in that locker room, and the support 461 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: that they have and the way that they rallied behind 462 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 2: their head coach and their defensive coordinator truly shows in 463 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: the gritty, not pretty mindset that they played in this one, 464 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: and it it turned out in a victory in the 465 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 2: most perfect poetic way possible. 466 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 3: To go down drive all the way down the field. 467 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 3: They had that on side kick that was very strategically. 468 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: Planned in order to give the Philadelphia Eagles the ball 469 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: so that you had enough time if they did score, 470 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 2: and it came out with the Cardinals win. 471 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: Very exciting for Gan and very excited for these players. 472 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown was on IRA with a heel injury, was 473 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: tweeting watching the game, which was pretty fun to watch 474 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: him do. Kind of our job from watching at home. 475 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: Lots of players on Twitter. Very exciting win for them. 476 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: Let's pull out the white board for our players of 477 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: the game. 478 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 5: Lots to choose from this week. It's just awesome, Zach. 479 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: Could he have this? 480 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: In my opinion, this was a pretty easy no brainer 481 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 2: with this. 482 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 3: One with Greg Dortch. 483 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: The way that Greg Dortch played, and we talked a 484 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: little bit about it, anytime he gets the. 485 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: Chance to produce, he produces on the field. 486 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: To have the seven receptions for the eighty something yards 487 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty five all purpose yards in this one, 488 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: and of course the thirty six yard reception that brought 489 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: the Cardinals down to the five yard line for that 490 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: game winning touchdown with James Connor, the way that he 491 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: was able to get around defenders. He has brought such 492 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 2: a spark to this offense when you've been looking for 493 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 2: wide receiver production. Although it hasn't fully been there, Greg 494 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: Dortch has been the one player that's consistently been able 495 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: to put up And you see. 496 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 3: Right there the support in that wide receiver room. 497 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: Gotta light the Dortsch in the fourth Well, they did 498 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 2: exactly that and lighting the Dortch and giving. 499 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 3: Greg Dortch that opportunity to make a play. 500 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 2: He said, anytime you give me the rock, I'm gonna 501 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 2: make something happen with it. 502 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 3: Well, it turned into a Cardinal's victory on that thirty 503 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 3: six yard reception. 504 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then on I mean, you're right that play. 505 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: Connor had the touchdown, but he just wouldn't go down 506 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 4: as this typical Greg Dortch to get down down there 507 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 4: near the end zone. 508 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: So light the Dortch as they say, that's right, got Dorch, 509 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: He got Dortsch. Who's your player of the game. 510 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 4: Well, this is another one that I think is a 511 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 4: little bit of a no brainer, I guess because he 512 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 4: orchestrated this victory hitting all the targets with Greg Dortch 513 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 4: and James Connor and Michael Carter and Michael Wilson. It's 514 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray and Kyler Murray in that second half in particular. 515 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 4: Let's look at those numbers once again. Danny mentioned them earlier, 516 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 4: thirteen to fourteen, one hundred and thirty three yards and 517 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 4: three touchdowns, one hundred and forty five point eight passer rating. 518 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 4: You know, for those that like numbers, it doesn't always 519 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 4: tell the story the passer rating, but I think it 520 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 4: really does there. He was lights out and it was 521 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 4: awesome to see the fact that he was making plays 522 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 4: from the pocket, which is something that we all know 523 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 4: He's done it in the past, it's just he doesn't 524 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 4: do it as consistently and you love to see that. Again, 525 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 4: he was getting pretty good protection and his vision of 526 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 4: the field was pretty good and that was evidenced by 527 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 4: just being able to hit all of the different targets 528 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 4: and he had composure. I mean, of course, there was 529 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 4: the one scramble that he had to get out of 530 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 4: there to get the ball to James Connor for the touchdown, 531 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 4: and that was another example of yeah, he can do that. 532 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 4: There are a couple designed runs as well, so that 533 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 4: threat was there, which is another element to the game 534 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 4: that is always great to establish for this team because 535 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 4: you know that defenses have to account for stopping Kyler Murray. 536 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 4: You know, one was the draw play, which was, you know, 537 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 4: a great call right there, and it has to be 538 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 4: really part of it is when do you unleash these 539 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 4: certain calls too, and Drew Petsing's done a nice job 540 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 4: of that. And so again for Kyler Murray. As much 541 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 4: as this team, I talked about it being a signature win, guys, 542 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 4: I think that for Kyler Murray it certainly is because. 543 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 5: Coming back off the knee injury. 544 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 4: You know, now this team is three and four with Kyler, 545 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 4: and you know that's something that you look at and say, 546 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 4: pretty good considering it's a four and twelve team, and 547 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 4: three of those wins have come with Kyler at the helm. 548 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has proven he has the characteristics of a 549 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback to lead this organization in the long term. 550 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: My player of the game was running back James Connor. 551 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. Yes, that is a crown 552 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: for my king, James, not Lebron James Connor. Thank you, 553 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: Zach putting the crown on his head. Connor refuses to 554 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: be denied. He continues to put this team on his back. 555 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: Twenty six carries, two touchdowns, a threat in the run, 556 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: and the pass game continues to find lanees. Just turn 557 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: that ball downfield, plays with the heart, the mentality, the 558 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: strength that you want every player to have on your team. 559 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: Week after week, James Connor continues to deliver as that 560 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: workhorse out of the backfield. He did it once again 561 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: against the Eagles. No surprise there at this point. 562 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 2: Not a surprise. 563 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 3: And it's the Keystone State. 564 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 2: Something about being back in Pennsylvania just always seems to 565 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 2: get James Connor running like a madman down on that 566 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 2: grid iron. 567 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: That's why he sent me postgame. He comes up to 568 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: me before the interviews, said, this what we do in PA, 569 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: coming from the Steelers to what we. 570 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: Do, and yeah, it's been it's been really solid to 571 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: seeing the fact that they were able to go to Pittsburgh, 572 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: make two cross country trips, yeah, and make the most 573 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: of it going back to the valley with wins. 574 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 3: There's nothing better than that. Now. 575 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: Impress of James Connor one handed touchdown grab Kyler Murray 576 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: escapes the pocket in the third quarter. Jody, that was 577 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: your turning point in the game. 578 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 4: Why, well, there were a lot of, you know, possible 579 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 4: turning points in this one. Part of me wanted to 580 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 4: say halftime, right, because everything seemed to turn at that point. 581 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 4: You had the sense this team was gonna fight. But 582 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 4: for me, it was the ability of Connor, I should say, 583 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray to use that escapability to get the ball 584 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 4: to James Connor. We seen James Connor make terrific one 585 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 4: handed catches before and then the two point conversion. Really 586 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 4: it's the whole play for me, the entire sequence there 587 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 4: two plays, because you know, the conversion to Michael Wilson 588 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 4: was a thing of beauty as well. So seeing Kyler 589 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 4: Murray have all of his talents on display, for me, 590 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 4: that was really the turning point here because it showed 591 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 4: a belief in himself to be able to do that, 592 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 4: and the whole team was constantly as this game was evolving, 593 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 4: I feel like they were getting stronger in their belief 594 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 4: that they could pull this off. And so, you know, 595 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 4: there were a lot of I had a lot of 596 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 4: different moments. Holding the Eagles to a field goal that 597 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 4: was also a big moment here in the shootout, being 598 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 4: able to limit those points. 599 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 5: But yeah, ultimately going to go with that one. 600 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of those games where you could 601 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 2: see Kyler Murray was just everything that he was doing, 602 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 2: especially in that second half. To go thirteen for fourteen 603 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: in that second half and put up those type of 604 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 2: numbers and continue to develop that camaraderie and that trust 605 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 2: with the wide receiver corps. It's something that obviously you 606 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: wish that the season did it end next week, but 607 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 2: you know that going into next season, this is going 608 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: to be an ongoing process and you could only just 609 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: imagine what it could potentially be like with Michael Wilson 610 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 2: and your potential other wide receivers. 611 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: And Kyla walked into the stadium and a Pittsburgh Penguins 612 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: jersey a few blocks away from where the Flyers play. 613 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: You know, he was gonna go off being. 614 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: A Philadelphia kid, the one kid I have, the one 615 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 2: person I've always disliked has been Sidney Crosby, the kid. 616 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 3: But he went into it going knowing that that was 617 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 3: going to be the case. And even though he told 618 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 3: me afterwards. 619 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: We were on the plane, he said, I didn't even realize, 620 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 2: but k one, you knew exactly what was exactly what 621 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: you're doing. 622 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: It was a clutch movie. It was a baller move. 623 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: Whyboards out one more time for songbirds. I'm curious to 624 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: see Jody. We're coming off for a week where we 625 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: were on the same the same song.

And I know 676 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 5: it's torsty, so you probably have something a little. 677 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: More not none of Pats and ginos, but we well, 678 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: oh wow, two weeks in a row for me to 679 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: have the same song. Dreams and imares were a little 680 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: bit that you were going. 681 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 2: I went with no nightmares though, because there was no 682 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: nightmare for the Arizona Cardinals in this one. 683 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 3: If anything, it was a Philly Nightmare, because that's at 684 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: least how. 685 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: They're reacting right now in the city of brotherly love. 686 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: Panic has set in over there, and here it's jubilation 687 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: because of the fact that you're able to come away 688 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: with this win. And when we went into the locker room, 689 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 2: Dreams and Nightmare was playing, and obviously that's the soundtrack 690 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: for the Philadelphia Eagles in their Super Bowl run and 691 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: it's something that the city as a whole has rallied around. Well, 692 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 2: the Cardinals took that as motivation and that was the 693 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: first song that was playing when we walked into the 694 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: open locker room, So excitement was there and definitely no 695 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 2: nightmares coming in the valley. 696 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 4: I love when we talk about this all the time. 697 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 4: You know, sports is a business, right, It's a huge business, 698 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 4: and these are adults that play the game. But when 699 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 4: you have that, you have that song playing in the 700 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 4: locker room, that is when it is like it is 701 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 4: just emotional and it is the sport you played growing 702 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 4: up and it means something. It is a rivalry, not 703 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 4: not that these teams have a rivalry, but you know, 704 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 4: how about the forty nine ers players watching it on 705 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 4: Michael Silver's phone, who writes for the San Francisco Chronicle. 706 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 5: Now that was pretty. 707 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: Funny because now they have the top scene. 708 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean seeing I think it was Deebo Samuel going. 709 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 5: Come on, Kyler. 710 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how comfortable we are with, you know, 711 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 4: aligning with the forty nine ers subject of you know, 712 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 4: it was it was cool to see and just that 713 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 4: whole vibe when you're able to pull off that kind 714 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 4: of win. You know, everyone in the NFL was watching 715 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 4: yesterday and everyone was saying, Wow, look at the Cardinals 716 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 4: and what they were able to do going in. 717 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 2: I think some of the lyrics as well in the song, 718 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 2: like it's when you have the hold up, wait a minute, 719 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: y'all thought I was finished. That's something that this Cardinals 720 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 2: team has rallied around because they could have been finished 721 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 2: at twenty one six. 722 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 3: They've had other games this year when. 723 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: You're down, but the fight you're not. They don't lose 724 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: any fight. This is a team that's. 725 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 3: Willing to dog it out in whatever way. 726 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: They're gonna have one more chance to dog it out 727 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 2: against the Seattle Seahawks at State Farm Stadium on Sunday. 728 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 2: But I mean that one where you have the music blaring, 729 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 2: and you could really rally behind some of the lyrics 730 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: and you can recognize that this is a team win. 731 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 3: We are not finished. That's something they could definitely rally. 732 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals could have been finished entering this game with just 733 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: three wins now four. However, postgame, Gannon said that's not 734 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: what his players are doing. They're not packing it in. 735 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: They're staying together and they were going to finish the 736 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: season the right way. They have one more chance to 737 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: do that game of the season back home at State 738 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: Farm Stadium Sunday, January seventh, at two twenty five against 739 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. Cardinals have a chance, I think, to 740 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: keep the Seahawks out of the playoffs if they win. 741 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 2: Look, they played spoiler and this one eliminating the Philadelphia 742 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: Eagles from that number one seed to any possible contention there. 743 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: To do it against an NFC West opponent would be 744 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 2: a great way to end twin twenty three, twenty twenty 745 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: four season. 746 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: Pretty pretty big opportunities for the Cardinals to end the 747 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: season on a high note. Cardinals fans, we hope to 748 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: see you out there at State Farm Stadium Sunday. Happy 749 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: to hear from your morning scramble crew for JODI's Jackson 750 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: and Zach Gershman. I'm Danny s Rag.
