Why is my back 33 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: to the doorframe? I should I should have planned this 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: out a little bit better. Fully trying to get you. 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: We're trying to get you whacked, Paul. And as a 36 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: rookie of this of this group, I asked producer Jim 37 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: if where I should sit, and he I have nothing 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: to do with that decision. Well, Holmes is in on 39 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: it too, he knows, he knows before you know. So 40 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: I don't try to say he's kind. Jim is the 41 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: godfather of the radio scale. I don't. I don't trust 42 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 1: anything over there. They say, we're only on a need 43 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: to know basis. Around here, our Cardinals Underground, brought to 44 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: you by Pacific Office Automation, proud partner of the Arison, 45 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: our Cardinals. All right, so there you go around the horn, 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: we go big takeaways from the news. We were sitting 47 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: around with our game faces on. Everyone's getting a little tense, 48 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: a little anxious. There we were well past the one 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: o'clock deadline, who exactly is going to make the team. 50 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: And then of course there was the big headline regarding 51 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: a guy who going into camp we had pretty much 52 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: not even penciled in as a starter. I mean, we 53 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: were using permanent ink, were we not. Darren Rman, go ahead, 54 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: reveal the big reveal regarding cornerback. Well, I mean, at 55 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: this point, Malcolm Butler is apparently contemplating retirement and the 56 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 1: Cardinals put him on the reserve retired list, And yeah, 57 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: that kind of came out of left field in a 58 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: lot of ways, because you're right, I mean, when you 59 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: talk about him being a starter, I mean I think 60 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: we had gotten to the point where we were assuming 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: they're going to have three cornerbacks on the field most 62 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: of the time, which is what most teams do. That 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: would be Murphy, Alford and Malcolm Butler. And I did 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: notice that it seemed like there were times in camp 65 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: when Robert Alford wasn't on the COVID list, that when 66 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: it was just two guys on the field, it was 67 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: Alfred and Murphy. Okay, not that big of a deal, 68 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: I don't think, but I something not having Malcolm Butler 69 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: now at least is one while we're taping this, and 70 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: as of this point, he hasn't been a practice, so 71 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: I assume he's not going to be a practice all 72 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: week this week. I mean, does he come back next week? Ironically, 73 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: when they practice they're getting ready for his former team, 74 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Does he come back? Or is this 75 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: a real thing? Is he really going to walk away 76 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: from three plus million dollars? This is just kind of 77 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: stunning to me. I'm not sure exactly what it is, 78 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: but I mean, this is kind of where we sit, 79 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: and I hope when Cliff Kingsbury says that rookie Marco 80 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: Wilson is more than capable of starting and playing a 81 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: lot that that's truly the field. I mean when I 82 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: think of Marco Wilson, I kind of think of myself, 83 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: you know, someone departed from a specific role and then 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: that's a big jump there. You slide in and try 85 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: to make the most out of the opportunity. But Kingsbury said, 86 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: you know, if there's someone on that in that group 87 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: that's ready for this moment and isn't going to shy 88 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: away from it, it's Marco Wilson. You know. Hey, Look, 89 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: you guys can agree or disagree, and I know you 90 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: will when I watched and I was there for every 91 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: single practice in camp like you guys were as well. 92 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 1: If you ask me who was the best corner in camp? 93 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: Forget the names in the back of the jerseys. There 94 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: are no names and backs of jerseys in camp. So 95 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: just who was the best corner in camp? Byron Murphy 96 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: Junior would be my answer. Would you guys concur with that? 97 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: I would agree with now degree the second best corner 98 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: in camp in camp, not in his career, na, no resume, 99 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: no preconceived notions. The second best corner in Cardinals camp 100 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: three plus weeks. Marco Wilson. Nice, that's just me. Look, 101 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: and of course you know my qualifications as a four 102 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: year dB at Leland High School and a guy who 103 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: stood next to premiere cornerbacks for a good twenty plus 104 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: years on the cardinal sideline. I do feel qualified to 105 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: make that. I do feel qualified to make that statement. 106 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: But beyond that, I did talk to a lot of people, said, 107 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: you know what, you know who had the most consistent 108 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: camp at cornerback, Marco Wilson. And what did Christian Kirk 109 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: tell us in the Big Red Rage not less than 110 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: a week ago that when it came to Marco Wilson, 111 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: he didn't get roasted once, he didn't get burnt once. Normally, 112 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: if you're a rookie, especially you lose, you can lose 113 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: badly at times. And every single rep for Marco Wilson 114 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: turned out to be a contested catch. Now, do you 115 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: prevent every catch, Absolutely not. But he was right there 116 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: in the hip pocket of every receiver seemingly every single snap. 117 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: And you think about the receivers that he's going up against. 118 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: And King's very mentioned an espressor today that he never 119 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: shied away from the competition of the DeAndre Hopkins at 120 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: aj Green's a Christian Kurks. He lined up against every 121 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: single receiver and coming from the college that he comes 122 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: back comes from, you know, facing some of the top 123 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: receivers at LSU, the bam Is, etc. Etc. So you 124 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: know he has experiences. He's finally in rhythm I field, 125 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: coming off that knee injury that he had two years ago. 126 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: I feel like that's why he kind of dropped in 127 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: the draft, right, because he was coming off that knee injury. 128 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: Teams didn't necessarily know, you know, the type of performance 129 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: he would put on the field. But I think he's 130 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: two years removed from that. I think he's prepared for 131 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: this opportunity and like myself, he's gonna make the most 132 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: out of it. You know. It's funny. And by the way, 133 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: the dropping the draft was also had something to do 134 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: with the old Austin Powers who throws a shoe? That's true, right, 135 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: where's Mike McCarthy from the mojo moment. I'm happy to 136 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: know that I understood that reference, Paul, but I better 137 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: than the Cowboys room because Mike McCarthy's little motivational mojo 138 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: went over like a lead balloon to start Cowboys camp 139 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: on hard knocks. My guess though, is that you know, 140 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: if one of your top guys is throwing a shoe, 141 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: no one's gonna really care. I mean, that's that's the thing. Hey, man, 142 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: if you're checking a J. Brown and Julio Jones, you 143 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: can throw the whole shoe department in norths We care 144 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: as long as you lock him down. It's funny when 145 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: the news came out, and especially the idea that Marco 146 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: Wilson might be the guy that's trying to take these 147 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: reps from from Butler if he's not around, and you know, 148 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: people want to bring up Brandon Williams and this is 149 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: a whole different deal. I mean, Brandon Williams was a 150 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: third round pick, yes, but it was a stretch. He 151 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: was a converted money he was a converted running back. 152 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: Would play what one year of corner I think, Um, 153 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: this is a whole different deal. Marco Wilson is a 154 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: natural cornerback. It's he's a better player. M I s 155 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: from a cornerback family, yeah, I mean, his older brother 156 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: is a dB. His father coaches cornerbacks for a living. 157 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: I mean, and that doesn't automatically mean you're going to 158 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: be successful in the NFL. But this is not a 159 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: Brandon Williams situation. It's just not. I mean, you got 160 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: a guy who walked in at eighteen years of age 161 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: and was a starter as a true freshman at Florida, 162 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: started all four years. So look, I'm not crowning him. 163 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm not proclaiming him. I'm just telling you what we 164 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: saw in camp. Now, whether our boxers should start bunging 165 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: in Week one when you got a rookie out there 166 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: against a Julio Jones and in AJ Brown. Okay, but 167 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: guess what. Julio Jones got virtually no reps in camp. 168 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: A J. Brown has been banged up in Titans camp. 169 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill didn't play a single snap in the preseason. Yea, 170 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks on the COVID list, they head coaches on 171 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: the COVID list, So there's gonna be a lot of 172 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: stuff flying around in all directions week one. It see 173 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: to me when we talk about Butler and we talk 174 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: about Marco Wilson, I think you can have a conversation. 175 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, now we're assuming Robert Alford comes back 176 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: in condition after missing two weeks. But Cliff Kingsbury seems 177 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: to think that's going to happen. But you know, again, 178 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: I think we're in a position now where it's not 179 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: so much can Marco Wilson play because we've talked about 180 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: what he's done in training camp and I think I 181 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: think he can give you some stuff and if you 182 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: have a top three of Murphy and Alford and Wilson, 183 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: you can make that work. The problem right now is, Okay, 184 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: what happens if somebody gets hurt? You know, are you 185 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: are you going with Luke Barku. I think Tay Gowan 186 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: is a guy to me after watching him in camping games, Um, 187 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: he feels like a guy that that could end up 188 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: being this year's Eno Benjamin where you don't want to 189 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: cut him because somebody's gonna grab him. But I don't 190 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: know if he's ready to play, and maybe you have 191 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: him inactive much of the time so he can learn 192 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: how to play this game. And that that's why I'm 193 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: concerned right now is of the of the depth at 194 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: that position without Malcolm Butler. Do you guys think that 195 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: you know what roster's being cut down, that a veteran 196 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: cornerback is going to be made available in the next 197 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: coming days. I mean, I guess Marcus Truf, Marcus Juvon 198 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: who's missed almost all a camp because he's been away 199 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: from a team. You know, here's the thing, I'm not 200 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: ruling anything out. Are you going to find somebody better than, 201 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: for instance, Darryl Worley, who this team just cut. Maybe 202 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: maybe not. You know who's still out there, Drake Kirkpatrick. 203 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if Drey's coming back. Um. 204 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: You know again, if you think Marco Wilson's the guy, 205 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: you want somebody who can step in and see I 206 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: think Drake er Patrick is a guy you bring in 207 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: if you need somebody to play right away, and if 208 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: they're not going to play him right away, you need 209 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: a guy that would potentially be you know, potentially be 210 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: on special teams. And if you really think, oh, Luke 211 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: Bark who can play a little bit, then maybe you 212 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: just you're you're getting him ready to be that guy, 213 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: because at first you're not going to need him because 214 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: with the way they're set up, you're gonna have you 215 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: have those top three corners, you have Buddha Baker and 216 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson, and you're gonna use I think Isaiah Simmons 217 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: back there a little bit here and there, So I 218 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: don't think you need somebody if people are healthy. Always. 219 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: I always think back to Byron Murphy though, because I 220 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: remember his rookie season he kind of got thrown into 221 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: the fire and then look at him now. I think 222 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: these reps would be valuable to someone like Marco Wilson 223 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: once he looked down down the road and you see 224 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: his growth throughout throughout the season, similar to Byron Murphy. 225 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: Here's the rub is that Byron Murphy ideally is a 226 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: slot corner that you would have a Marco Wilson and 227 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: a Malcolm Butler on the outside. That Byron Murphy at 228 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: his best is on the inside. So now if all 229 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: of a sudden he's forced to play outside, that's where 230 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: the trickle down of losing a Malcolm Butler seemingly would 231 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: hit this Cardinals defense, at least as originally scripted and envisioned, 232 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: I guess. But long before Malcolm Butler ended up on 233 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: the reserve retired list, Byron Murphy has been playing outside 234 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: a lot. Yes, when when there's only two cornerbacks on 235 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: the field, he's out there, so they can't feel that 236 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: uncomfortable with him on the outside. So the question becomes, 237 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: all right, when the running three corners out there, which 238 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: in the past has been quite a bit, now, whether 239 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: you're going to do that against Tennessee and if they're 240 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: going to go power personnel with Derrick Henry, maybe maybe 241 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are spared in week one and maybe even 242 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: week two based on the fact that you have a 243 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: pair of teams with premier running backs, big time straight 244 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: ahead run games, and two letting big time legit receivers, 245 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: both the Titans and the Vikings. So maybe you're not 246 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: going three corners as much because to your point, if 247 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons is a guy now all of a sudden, 248 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: they're going to push off into the slot at times. 249 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: And look are a number of safeties who lost their 250 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: jobs and you can't tell me speaking of trickle down effects, 251 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: that wasn't due to Isaiah Simmons' ability to play in 252 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: the slot. And some of this is special team stuff 253 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: and where guys can fit in. I mean, people are 254 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: going to talk about Keishaw Johnson. Part of the Keishawn 255 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: Johnson thing was he wasn't going to give you anything 256 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: besides being receiver. He just wasn't He wasn't fitting in 257 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: he wasn't Trent Sherfield as a special team nurse, so 258 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: it didn't make a lot of sense where Andy Isabella 259 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: can potentially do some of those things. As much as 260 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: fans are frustrated to hear that, when you talk about 261 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: I was gonna just say, when you talk about the 262 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: cornerback stuff, I mean, I think Bayern Murphy's still your slot. 263 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: If your top three guys are healthy, you're two outside 264 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: guys are offered to Marco Wilson. Okay, that's what I 265 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: think is going to happen. Yeah, and you know it's 266 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: after that. It's to your point. I mean, yeah, that's true. 267 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: I have a roster here from the twenty third. I 268 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: have a flip card here from the twenty fourth of August. 269 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: Luke Barku's not in either one of these. I had 270 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: to go to my Saints flip card, which I don't 271 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: know why I even still have, consider we were in 272 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: mid air and we turned around heading back to Phoenix. 273 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, that's a that's got to be 274 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: some kind of collectible, isn't it. Maybe I can frame it. 275 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: I'll get Luke Barku to sign this thing, and then 276 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: I'll frame it. Up there. We're gonna talk about our 277 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: experiences in the air. We're gonna make this a folk tales. 278 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: By the way, you know, there was one guy in 279 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: the plane who knew before anyone officially knew that the 280 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: plane had turned around? Do you realize who that was? 281 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: I heard you guys talking about Wallallas. I gotta be honest. 282 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything. I only knew because almost pointed 283 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: it out to me on the I Felipe. If I 284 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: say vulture thirteen, do you know who that is? Of 285 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: course not. That's wald ellis longtime radio engineers. It's longtime 286 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: radio engineer, former Vietnam helicopter pilot, and recipient of a 287 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: purple heart. So is that why he was able to 288 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: tell when the plane made a sudden move based somehow 289 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: on the elevation and the altitude, based on whether it 290 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: was even or odd numbers, you can tell if the 291 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: plane is going west or eastways some crazy formala. And 292 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: so he walked back and he said, yeah, I was 293 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: wondering how long it take you guys to figure it out? 294 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: Because if you would have looked at the altitude, you 295 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: would have known we were going in the opposite direction. Well, 296 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: I'd always bosting all that, so anyway, it was it 297 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: was quite the moment where Walt knew long about soon 298 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: after the pilots knew, and I don't think anybody else knew. 299 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: And so there we were, were somewhere between Waco and Houston, 300 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: if I had it right on the map, somewhere so 301 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: somewhere two hours out or so, two hours away from Phoenix, 302 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: an hour about or so, why we're normless way for sure, 303 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: and uh, and they had already moved the kickoff earlier, 304 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: so it'd have been a more early morning for most 305 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: of us getting up and going over to the game. 306 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: And then news broke, and it obviously made a lot 307 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: of sense when you're evacuating the city all of a sudden, 308 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: not only does a preseason game become more meaningless than ever, 309 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: but those folks who are having to work the preseason 310 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: game in the New Orleans metro area had a lot 311 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: far bigger concerns to deal with, like as in, how 312 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: do we evacuate our own families? And the players were 313 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: in that boat as well. Yeah, It's just it was 314 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: just so strange, and because we don't have internet on 315 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: that particular plane, you know, I was joking with people that, 316 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, my family, which is true. After I talk 317 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: my family knew that I was coming back before I did, 318 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: because you know that once the game is canceled, they 319 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: realize I'm probably going to come back. And we didn't 320 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: know the game was canceled, you know. So you had 321 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: your birthday celebrations that that weekend. That's basically what happened. Yeah, 322 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: so it became a forty eight hour bender recording Larry 323 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald's birthday and Darren Urban's birthdays. Slight yourself, Darren, come 324 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: on now, say do you guys? You come on? You guys. 325 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: Traded a text message, just like Christian Kirk traded a 326 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: text message with teared it at him. I noticed he 327 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: did not get back to me. I wasn't going to 328 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: bother him with a text one. He's done with his 329 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: thirty six holes, so we'll get around to getting back 330 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: to you on that. So, so, by the way, Philippe Adia, 331 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: consider the fact that the Cardinals only had two preseason 332 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: games compared to the fact that Titans had three preseason 333 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: games and they had a week long joint practice with 334 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the defending Super Bowl champions factor 335 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: or not a factor real or not real as you 336 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: try and decide whether that's is that's an advantage or 337 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: not Week one at Tennessee. UM, I would say no, 338 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: just because obviously Ryan tannehillst on the COVID list, so 339 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: he hasn't been practicing. AJ Green has been banged up, 340 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: Julio Jones hasn't seen the field out throughout preseason, and 341 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: so that's not an advantage. I think the cardinal team 342 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: is between the two, they have the advantage, you know, 343 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: because for the most part, they've all been intact, you know, 344 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: from on both sides of the ball. Obviously, JJ Watt 345 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: returned later on in training camps. So I did feel 346 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: for guys like Greg Dortsch and the you know, Benjamin's 347 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: obviously made the roster and the Jonathan Awards and all that, 348 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: because I feel like that preseason game that last the 349 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: preseason finale against the Saints, what's gonna be pretty pivotal 350 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: for guys like that, and so I always, always, my 351 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: mind always goes back to those type of players. But 352 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: in terms of whoever's gonna have an advantage, I mean, 353 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: both teams have a four day weekend mandatory weekend. You know, 354 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: they all have a clean slate, so those guys are 355 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: gonna be able to return from the COVID list, guys 356 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: are gonna be able to get healthy again. So there's 357 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: no advantage that I don't want to hear that, you know, 358 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: come week one, I don't want to hear people be like, oh, well, 359 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: the Titans gonna have so and so and so forth, like, no, 360 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: it's a clean slate. It's it's week one. The NFL 361 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: season is here, so I'm pretty hype. And look, it 362 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: was gonna be third and four stringers playing at New 363 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: Orleans anyway, and Cliff Kingsbury confirmed it would have been 364 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: Chris struvel or four quarters of Chris Streveler, with Colton 365 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: McCoy dressed just in case in an emergency capacity. And 366 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: by the way, one of my big takeaways, even though 367 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: Cliff kings very hinted heavily, is that they stayed with 368 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: three quarterbacks. Yeah, Chris Streveler barely saw the field a 369 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: year ago, obviously, and then when he got in in 370 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: week seventeen, it didn't go so well. And yet he's 371 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: still on the roster. As much as we love Streb 372 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: and mandatory Streveler. It is surprising to me that they 373 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: kept a coveted roster spot for that number three quarterback. 374 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: Here's why it does not surprise me as much is 375 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: because of COVID And I know you could probably get 376 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: him onto the practice squad and then he'd be around 377 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: and you could bring him up. But I think the 378 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: reality is with how quick everything can happen and how 379 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: you could lose a guy immediately. I mean, if you 380 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: wake up on a Sunday, which you at that point 381 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: you can't pull a guy up from the practice squad 382 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray god forbid, or Colton McCoy has tested 383 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: positive and can't play, you're gonna really hope you have 384 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: that extra quarterback on the roster. And considering the quarterbacks 385 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: hang out in the same room and spend lots of 386 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: hours together, all of a sudden you could be the 387 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos reprised right where the Denver Broncos were without 388 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: three or four quarterbacks and they're forced to use a 389 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: former college quarterback who was like a four string receiver 390 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: in a game last year, and maybe the game used 391 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds as an emergency quarterback, as we saw in 392 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: the latest episode of Flight Plan. You never know anything 393 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: can happen. By the way, with no game on Saturday, JAT, 394 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: I was catching up on episodes of Cardinals Flight Plan, 395 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: the last two in particular. And the sister in law 396 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: who knows not up her sports, and I'll tweet about 397 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: some of her comments occasionally. And she was over and 398 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: she asked a series of questions, including the following I 399 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: want you guys to answer the following question from the sister. 400 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: And that's fine. You know she doesn't know a football 401 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: from a foosball. Doesn't matter. Okay, that's great, no worries. 402 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: But here was her question. I really didn't know how 403 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: to answer this. Hey, Paul, what's the most dangerous position 404 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: in football? The most dangerous position in football? Most dangerous? 405 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: That's a great question. I mean nose tackle. See, I 406 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't say I wouldn't say most dangerous. See. I don't 407 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: see that as dangerous. I mean, I think you could 408 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: get hurt when you're in the trenches more often because 409 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: of where your knees are and everything. But when you 410 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: talk about dangerous, like when I think of dangerous, I 411 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: think of like severe injury, severe injury, and I would 412 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: think I am thinking wide receiver a lot of time, 413 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: because you can get your head torn off at any moment, 414 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: you know. And that's I went that initially, and then 415 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: I said, kick returner, how about kick returner? No, not anymore, No, 416 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: not anymore, not anymore. Maybe there's no kick returns. What's 417 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: it take to take a knee? Is that what you're saying? 418 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: Touchbacks are not dangerous? Can do this all day, That's right. 419 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 1: They'll give you life insurance all day, every day if 420 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: you're just gonna have a touchback and just take a 421 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: knee in the end zone. I would say the kicker, though, 422 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: because you know when they kick it off and you 423 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: try to go tackle the kicker turner and blindsighted year 424 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: old moost Matt Prater the pencil neck. He's a serious 425 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: risk trying to make an open field tackle. I love you, Matt. 426 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: The most dangerous the most dangerous position in football is 427 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: is only viewed through the prism of whoever that guy's parents. 428 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: Is if if you if your mom and you and 429 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: your son's playing kicker, it's kicker. If your mom and 430 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: your son's playing tight end, it's tight end. Long snapper 431 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Brewer, No, and not long snapper By the way, 432 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: I love Aaron Brewer. I consider him a friend. He's 433 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: a really good dude. But when he's when he's in 434 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: training camp and long snappers and he comes around, he's 435 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: got that mustache he wears, and he comes in early 436 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: in the morning, and sometimes he got the sunglasses on, 437 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: and the hair is a little bit out of place, 438 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,479 Speaker 1: and where's those Hawaiian shirt? So I'm like, dude, you 439 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: you like you walk straight out of a TV series 440 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,959 Speaker 1: of the the the PI that has passed his prime 441 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: and went out drinking too late last night and now 442 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: you're you're trying to figure out what to do the 443 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: next morning. I swear to God every time I need 444 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: to tell him that, because every time I see him, 445 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 1: I'm like, you totally like right out of a TV series. 446 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: It's funny that you mentioned that because my brothers and 447 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: I we always, you know, kid around and we ask 448 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: each other if you were a player in the NFL, 449 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: what position would you play? And I think your story 450 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: just validated my answer. I would be a long snapp 451 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: rick because one I get paid, well, I don't get 452 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: that injured. I'm not in risk of getting injured. So 453 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: thank you, Darren for shure if if if he got 454 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: some flow going out the back of his helmet, he'd 455 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: be a dead ringer for Big Lebowski. Is that what 456 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: you're saying? Sort of the you know, the seggression could 457 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: but he's not. I don't. I don't see him as 458 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: being that super laid back, although Aaron is pretty laid back. 459 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: I just see him as like that guy. Like, Okay, 460 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, the woman just came into my office yesterday. 461 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: I gotta get pictures of her husband at the motel 462 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: with her his side piece. I don't know. You give 463 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: him a white Russian. It could be the dude. We'll 464 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: have to see about that. So you have the I'm saying, 465 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: So Ryan Winslow didn't make it all right? The specialists 466 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: were never in danger, No, they were not. There was 467 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: round and I know there was a lot of chatter, 468 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: even talking internally with some of the personnel people, Hey, 469 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: we might go with five receivers, we might just do it. 470 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: Believe that. I never believe that. For there was a 471 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: hot moment though, when after Keishawn Johnson was released and 472 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: you're wondering five or is that extra receiver slot for 473 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: a guy named Larry Fitzgerald there was a lot of 474 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: that chatter out there. We won't dignify that. We'll move 475 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: on today. As good as Greg Dorche looked in this camp, 476 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: and I think we're all in agreement, right, are we 477 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: all nodding? Of course? Yeah? Uh? They needed the size, 478 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: did they not? Felipe? I mean, you know, fine, diminutive 479 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: American Greg Dorche over there. I mean, I love him, 480 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: you know, but when you have a six foot three, 481 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: six foot four option in Antoine Wesley, I'm guessing that 482 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: was the difference, the size difference. Are we going to 483 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: forget that? I called this last week? You guys, didn't 484 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: he when he made it? I did start to think 485 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: to myself, I was pretty hard on Wesley not making 486 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: the team in Philippe were but well, le hey, this 487 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: is gonna post and and we're gonna have it on record, 488 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: and we'll, you know, we'll see what happens when they 489 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: bring back Pew and Alford. Who the person is that 490 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: isn't And I'm not saying it's going to be Wesley, 491 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: because I do think he's done a lot of really 492 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: good things and that he deserves it. But he is 493 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: one of those guys that I'm thinking Okay, when you 494 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: start talking about who's that extra person or two. If 495 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: you pick up somebody on waivers, it might be Antoine 496 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: could be the third tight end, Demetrius Harris. Are you 497 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: saying he could be in the crosshairs? Could it be 498 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: that last corner, the rookie Tay Gawen. Are you saying, 499 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: I see, I don't think it's gonna be gown because again, 500 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: whenever he gets cut, I'm afraid he was somebody, which 501 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: is what which is why they never did anything like 502 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: that with Benjamin last year. I'm thinking, you know, maybe 503 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: Michael Dogbee, who's probably the seventh defensive lineman, although with 504 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips just trying to get back into it, I 505 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: don't know about that. Um, you know, I'm trying to 506 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: think of some of the other people. Wesley might be somebody. 507 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: I have to look at the lineman, but I think 508 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: didn they end up only going with with eight eight 509 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: lines only eight eight and Sean Harlow did not make it, okay, 510 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: so then it's not going to be a lineman obviously. 511 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's we're probably we're probably honing in pretty 512 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: hard on who the possibilities are, whether it would be 513 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: Harris or Dogbe or Wesley. I don't. I don't think 514 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: it would be Bark who uh not with your situation 515 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: now at cornerback and where they got four safeties. Now 516 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: they do have four safeties, yep. And but one of 517 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: them is Washington, who's a special teams guy. So I 518 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: think we've probably nailed down like who these possibilities or 519 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: maybe Jonathan Ward maybe if you want to. One of 520 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: the questions that you know, I was thinking about, is 521 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: you know, Antoine Wesley only played one preseason game. He 522 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: was hurt for about a week during camp. He obviously 523 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: didn't play in that preseason finale. What did he show that, 524 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: you know, regardless of how much he played or missing 525 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: a week in camp, what did he show for Kings 526 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: ready to say, you know what, we're gonna keep you 527 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: on for now. I mean one of the things that 528 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: one of the things Wesley did was when aj Green 529 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: went down early in camp, he was one of the 530 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: first people to step in and he got a lot 531 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: of snaps and I thought he looked pretty good doing that. 532 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: He had the near catch in the one preseason game, 533 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: couldn't quite hold on to it, but the play itself 534 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: was pretty nice, and again I think goes back to 535 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: what Paul said, Well, there's two things. One, he gives 536 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: you size, and this is that's something that this team needs. 537 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: And if something happens to Hopkins and or Green, you 538 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: don't want to have a bunch of smaller receivers. And 539 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: once you decide Keyshaw's not your guy, then obviously Wesley 540 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: moves ahead of him. The other thing, which I don't 541 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: think you can push aside too hard. This is a 542 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: guy Cliff Kingsbury knows well. He played at Texas Tech. 543 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: They're close. I remember talking to Antoine Wesley at the Combine, 544 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: not knowing he was eventually going to come to the Cardinals. 545 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: But I was doing a big piece on Cliff Kingsbury 546 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, and nobody was talking to Antoine Wesley 547 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: when he came in through the interview, so I was 548 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: able to get off some questions. And he talked about 549 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: when he got hurt in college, and I'm trying to 550 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: remember what it was. I can't remember if it was 551 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: a leg injury or abdomen injury. There was something where 552 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: he ended up in the hospital and he was talking 553 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: about how much it meant to him when Cliff Kingsbury 554 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: showed up at the hospital while he was going through 555 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: this and saying, you know, don't worry about anything. You're 556 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. And when you come back, your spots 557 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: there and all this stuff, and you know, he is 558 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: a big Cliff Kingsbury fan, as he told me at 559 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: the time. And I just feel like that also plays 560 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: into it. Here's a guy who Cliff knows and is 561 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: confident in and when he starts making plays that that's 562 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: one way you end up on a team. And it 563 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: helps that well, if you guys didn't know, he was 564 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: staying with Kyler Murray at the beginning of camp, like 565 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks, So if you have your quarterbacks, 566 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: you know confidence well and it's leisure coach. I think 567 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: that that says a lot about the talent. That it's 568 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: funny that you say that too, because a lot of 569 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: people thought one of the things that Keishan had going 570 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: from was that he was close with Kyler, which he was. 571 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: They were part of that same draft class. But you know, 572 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: if Kyler has gotten a relationship with Wesley, that can't hurt. 573 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: By the way I look at Wesley and I see 574 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: that as evidence that practice does matter. That when Cliff 575 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: Kingsbury says that Kyler Murray is ready to go, that's 576 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: based on what he has seeing in practice, not the 577 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: nine snats, not the trio of three and outs and 578 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: the negative one total yards. It's what he's seen at 579 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: practice and in practice. Antoine Wesley made a lot of 580 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: plays and he was a dog. I mean, he's supposedly 581 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: a really good guy off the field. You guys know 582 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: him probably a lot better than I do off the field. 583 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: But on the field he competed. I mean he was 584 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: trading a lot of trash talk with Robert Alfred, he 585 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: was hand fighting guys, he was making catches in the 586 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: red zone. The size was a factor, and when you 587 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: have a lot of smaller guys out there, there's no 588 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: doubt that moved the meter with all the coaches. And 589 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a big difference with this Cardinals offense 590 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: this year when they get into the red zone and 591 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: they have the addition of a Rondale more smaller guy, 592 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: but you have a six foot four a j Green 593 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: who has looked superb in camp. You have a James 594 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: Conner two thirty plus. It's just a different Cardinals offense 595 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: in the red zone. And then if you're able, if 596 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna go ten personnel in the red zone, Antoine Wesley, 597 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: I BET's going to be out there in Cliff Kingsbury's 598 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: one of those rare coaches who will who will spread 599 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: it out in the red zone in the NFL. And 600 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: I remember Cliff Kingsbury's first year with the Cardinals, he 601 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: was running a lot of ten perconnel in the first 602 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of the season and he didn't necessarily 603 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: have the roster to execute that at a high level, 604 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: so he went away from that. Last year he ran 605 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: a lot of twelve personnel. But I think this year, 606 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: more than any of any of his other seasons, he 607 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: finally has a talent to run a ten personnel because 608 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: you have Round, the more you have Christian Kirk, obviously, 609 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: AJ Green and Dehab So when when when it comes 610 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: to the red zone, man, this offense has the potential 611 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: to be one of the top five offenses offenses in 612 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: the red zone with But here's here's my question. And 613 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: because I know long before you joined us, Felipe, you know, 614 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: back when Paul and Kyle would throw down, um, you know, 615 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: I think Paul was leaning more, especially once they signed 616 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: James Connor, that maybe they'd get a little bit more 617 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,239 Speaker 1: physical with their offense and that kind of stuff and 618 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: maybe get away from ten personnel. Kyle was very much like, 619 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: I think they're going to move back towards ten personnel 620 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: because they have the people. I lean a little bit 621 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: more towards that. The question is is when you get 622 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: into that red zone, when you get inside the ten 623 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: yard line, are you running still a bunch of shotgun 624 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: with four wide receivers. That's there's there's a lot of 625 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: people out there that get really leery about that because 626 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: it is harder to convert in that smaller area, and 627 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, guys are coming in and you know, I 628 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: am to know how that unfolds. And we don't really 629 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: know exactly how it's going to be used this year 630 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: because we didn't see much in the preseason. And I'm 631 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: not saying I'm in favor of it. I'm just saying 632 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: that the head coach might be apt to use it, 633 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: and if he does, he is definitely better equipped than 634 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. To your point, Phelipe a win Week two 635 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: of Baltimore. Three times they got inside the five and 636 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: they're denied every time they will settle for fuel goals 637 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of that spreads stuff at the time 638 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: just wasn't effective, especially against a hard hitting, physical Baltimore 639 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: Ravens defense that was man handling receivers off the line, 640 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: and not just the Ravens, I mean last year against 641 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Do you guys remember when Kenyan Drake failed 642 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: to score on the at the one year half. Yeah, 643 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: exactly so. And I always when they drafted Rondo Moore, 644 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: the question always popped up in my head, Well, they 645 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: use a lot of prestap motion, would they you know, 646 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: presnap motion combined with some play action with the read option, 647 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: Now that they have someone like rondel More, sure, absolutely, yeah. No. 648 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: I as the most staggering stat from a year ago 649 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: is the Cardinals were dead last in the NFL in 650 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: pre snap motion. It's astounding, isn't it When you think 651 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: of Cliff Kingsbury and his sort of offense, but with 652 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: Andy Isabella not being or a liable component of that offense, 653 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: it took away a lot of the pre snap motion. 654 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: I would presume Kyle Shanahan and Niners were number one 655 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: in that category. That's not a surprise. But the Cardinals 656 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: being dead last, that's a shocker to me, and I 657 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: do not expect that to happen again this year, not 658 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: at all. As I, for whatever reason just turned off 659 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: my mike as I reached because I reached for my 660 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: phone and somehow turned off my mic. So there that's 661 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: the last. See, that's the last. It's the August, right, 662 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: that's the last August mistake that's gonna be permitted around here. 663 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: It's like, once again, it's the perch. It's the perch. 664 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: So I can just throw that out. That's all those 665 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: things and can just be discounted because the preseason, once 666 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: we get September is officially done with. As I segue 667 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: to the all in question and try and save my 668 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: own keyster which is blown in the wind. Right, the 669 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: player you are most excited to see in a game 670 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: that counts that was not here in twenty twenty Darren Rman. 671 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: A player who was not here last year, whether it's 672 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: a rookie of veteran, a newcomer you are most excited 673 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: and eager to see in a game is I'm gonna 674 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: go with a low hanging fruit. I'm sorry, but JJ Watt, 675 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: you know now now that he's back healthy. M'm I'm 676 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: dying to know, not only to see him play, but 677 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: how they deploy him. I think there's is a team 678 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: that I want to see more push in the pocket. 679 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: But I do think that JJ is gonna get some 680 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: snaps from coming from the outside, and I think they're 681 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: gonna move him around a little bit, just like he 682 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: always has in his career. And I'm I'm really exciting there. 683 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: There's a there's a long list there, but I know 684 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: you two have to take your turns, and I guess 685 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to let you do that. So I'm 686 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: gonna go JJ Watt and let everybody else for you. Guys, 687 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: there you go, There you go. You're up, Felipe, What 688 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: do you think? I kind of such sne it already, 689 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with Rondell More because, like I said, 690 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury finally has the roster and the talent in 691 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: that wide receiver group to run some ten perconnel. But 692 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: when you have Aj Green talking about how more catches 693 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: passes like he's a six four wide receiver on the outside, 694 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: you know that gives me confidence. I mean, he led 695 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: perduing in receptions per game last year. So and to 696 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: your point, last year, when the Cardinals ran some pre 697 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: snap motions combined with play action, which was only fifteen 698 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: fifty nine attempts, they had a fifty four percent success rate. 699 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: So that goes to tell you that now that he 700 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 1: has the pieces on the offensive offensive side, Cliff Kingsbury, 701 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: you might see a lot of a lot more ten 702 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: perconnel now that you have guys like aj Green, Rondo Moore. 703 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: Hopefully Andy Isabella is a little bit more acclimated to 704 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: that offense. So Rondo Moore is my pick. See, the 705 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 1: consultants would say, never agree, always go a different direction, trying, 706 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, keep the same going. But honestly, in the 707 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: trust try I would go with Condale Moore as well. 708 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: And here's why. Here's why, because the players are talking 709 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: about Rondale Moore. I was talking with a veteran and 710 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,439 Speaker 1: this is the person you want to see the most. 711 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: And it's because the players are talking about I'm not 712 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: saying who you want to see because I am the 713 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: most intrigued by Rondale Moore. Based on the buzz among players, 714 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: because we all know the hashtag. Players know players and 715 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: they're talking about Rondale Moore. One guy said, hey, that 716 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 1: kid's only scratching the surface. A week later, I'm talking 717 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: to a veteran player and he walked by Rondale Moore 718 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: and he literally stopped what he was saying, and once 719 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: Rondale Moore walked past it, that kid's gonna be good. 720 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: And so he has the other players. Now, if you 721 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: in terms of sheer impact and who's going to be 722 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: the most vital to the Arizona Cardinals in Week one, 723 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any denying Zaven Collins is that guy. 724 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: But again, the question is who do you want to see, 725 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: not who the most impactful is want to see? Paul, 726 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 1: I'm trying to put this on your plate, and you're 727 00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 1: like going on this other tangent just sheer seeing someone. 728 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,240 Speaker 1: But if you want to see the importance, it depends 729 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: how you define No, no, no, it depends on how 730 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: Paul Calvc defines it, because it's who Paul wants to see. Right, 731 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: So you're it's okay if you say Rondel Moore, but 732 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: don't have all these you know, I'll just say this 733 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: is who I want to see. Rondell Moore is my guy. 734 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: All right, but that's just from a sheer highlight. They 735 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: can the offense can get by without him. The defense 736 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: can't get by without Zaven Colline. It doesn't matter Zaven. 737 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: College doesn't count because you already picked. And Paul going 738 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: to your point that when you that you stand on 739 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: the sideline, so that goes to your credentials. Sure, so 740 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: when you stand next to Rondell Moore, do you guys 741 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: see eye to eye or you know, it's pretty close. 742 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: I'd rather stand next to Greg Dortch. That's more of 743 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: a that's that set's more. I'd be really certain about 744 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: Greg Dortche. Rondel Moore might be a little close. As 745 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: for the guy you're most excited to see in a game, 746 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna let Darren cool down a little bit 747 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: here for the base So I'm going to you first. Uh, 748 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: the guy you're most excited to see in a game 749 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: that counts that was here last year, Chris. That guy 750 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk for me, I mean he was the second 751 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: most targeted player last year, led the team in receiving 752 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: touchdowns with six. Yes, he led the team and receiving 753 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: touchdowns with six. DeAndre Hopkins only at five he had 754 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: the second most red zone targets. You know, he's in 755 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: a contract here, he has a chip in his shoulder, 756 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: in his shoulder on his shoulder, I should say, And 757 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: he's a hometown guy. You know, he talked about it 758 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: today in his press conference that you know, there's some 759 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: territory that comes with being the hometown guy. And he's again, 760 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: he's in his contract gear. You know, he's improved every 761 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: single season. Hopefully he stays healthy because if he stays 762 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: healthy and you have guys like AJ Green, Ronda Moore, 763 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins in that same receiver group, then that 764 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: just opens up so much more opportunity for someone like 765 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. So hopefully he capitalizes on the fact that 766 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: maybe Fitzgerald doesn't come back, so that means, you know, 767 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: more opportunity for him and having the flect that versatility 768 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: in that wide receiver group. So Christian Kirk is my guy. 769 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: All Right, your next Paul, I mean, I'm you need 770 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: a little more time in the cooling offer. I'm just 771 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: saying I want you to. But again, okay, so you 772 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: want Paul Calbisi, who is Paul Calbies want to see 773 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones Okay, I'm going Chandler Jones. He looks great, 774 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: the weight is down. He's obviously got to be motivated. 775 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: Sources close to Chandler say that he feels quote unstoppable 776 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: right now. Okay, not exactly sure why he was out 777 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 1: for an extended period of time? What was Was Was there 778 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 1: anything given as to why? None? Zero? Although it's funny 779 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: when you say instoppable because you hear him saying that 780 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: all the time. So are you saying so? Did you 781 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: just overhear him saying that? Source is very close to 782 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. You can take that. I can hear where 783 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: you want in my head. That's a good investigative reporter there, 784 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 1: Darren taking a little deeper with a follow up question 785 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: as to ascertain the nature of the source exactly So 786 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, Yes, very intrigued, especially now that he has 787 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,919 Speaker 1: company along that defensive front. To your point about ninety nine, 788 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: what exactly is that going to look like? And how 789 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: will it benefit those guys going after the quarterback? I 790 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,760 Speaker 1: like that one, Chandler Jones, and he is very intriguing, 791 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: you know. I know it's easy to say, but with 792 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: everything that's happened in camp, I'm going to go with 793 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback because there's been so much said about Kyler 794 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: Murray and should he be playing in the preseason and 795 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: what kind of camp did he really have and how 796 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: did he look? And he did look like he to me. 797 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 1: He started out a little slower but got and got better, 798 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 1: which is kind of what camps for. Like. I don't 799 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: have a problem with him having a slow start to 800 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 1: camp because that's the whole point. You haven't been practicing 801 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: all offseason for the most part, and then you come 802 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: into camp. You should be slower at first comparatively if 803 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: you're really good at the beginning. I'm wondering a little 804 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: and so but him talking about how he didn't really 805 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: want preseason games and he only had the three series 806 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: and they didn't go well. I don't think ultimately that 807 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: there's a straight line between him not playing well against 808 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and what happens the first week. But the 809 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: spotlight is going to be intense on him when they 810 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: opened the season in Tennessee, because we all know if 811 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,320 Speaker 1: he struggles or this offense struggles, everybody's going to say, see, 812 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: you should have played the full all three preseason games. 813 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: And even once they canceled New Orleans. You should have 814 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: played the Saints on your own because you should have 815 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: those snaps. We all know that that's what the argument's 816 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: going to be, So I think I think there's a 817 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: little bit of pressure there as he comes in and 818 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: he is in his third year and this team does 819 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: rely so much on not only what he does because 820 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: he's the quarterback, but on what they're going to need 821 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: from him to make the kind of push that you 822 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: know he's expected to play. I heard DeAndre Hopkins yelling 823 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: at me and Mike Jarecki today as we came off 824 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: the practice field. He goes, how many how many? What 825 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: are you guys predicting? How many wins are we going 826 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: to get? And that's that's a great question, because I 827 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: think a lot of it will go back to the 828 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: quarterback and how well he really plays, and whether getting 829 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: all these weapons and getting Cliff Kingsbury into his third 830 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: year of play calling, how much of that makes a difference. 831 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 1: You know, if you're to recap what we heard about 832 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray over the course of August, we had a 833 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: couple of players going on the record saying he has 834 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: better arm strength, better zip, better velocity on the football. 835 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: We heard that on the record. I think it was 836 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker in the pash Pot, or maybe it was 837 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds and maybe both. And then Christian Kirk confirmed 838 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: that on the Big Red Rage about the arm strength. 839 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,399 Speaker 1: So there's that. And then it was Christian Kirk who 840 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 1: just recently shared with the media that Kyler is more 841 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: app to send video clips from some of the film work, 842 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: a specific video clips to specific receivers and weapons on 843 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: the team and say, hey, you know what, think about 844 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: doing it this way or this looks good or why 845 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: don't we try this? So that seems to be encouraging 846 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: that this evolution of Kyler as a team leader. How 847 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: many times, as Cliff Kingsbury said this offseason and during 848 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: this Cardinals camp, that it's his team now, he feels 849 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: like it's his team, whether that's because he's in year 850 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: three and or because of the departure of an absolute 851 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,760 Speaker 1: team leader like a Larry Fitzgerald. There's no question whose 852 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: offense and whose team it is now. So these are 853 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: all factors that go beyond just the talent, beyond just 854 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,439 Speaker 1: the marketing moniker we threw out there. Come for the arms, 855 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: stay for legs, these are all the other elements that 856 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: make you a franchise quarterback, that make you a winning quarterback. 857 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 1: When I hear Kyler say in that interview, I think 858 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: it was with the ESPN that we started feeling ourselves 859 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: after that six and three start, and guess what, maybe 860 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: some of the attention to detail waned. It sounds like 861 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 1: it sounds like there was a lesson learned last year. 862 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,720 Speaker 1: So to me, that's encouraging if you're in that locker 863 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 1: room that, starting with a quarterback, everybody has learned. Okay, 864 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: every single rep of every regular season game matters. This 865 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: is in the NBA where you can have an off 866 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: night and it doesn't matter. I feel like the reason 867 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: that this team underperformed sort of speak in the second 868 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: half of the regular season last year was because there 869 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: might have been a lack of leadership. I feel like 870 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: Kyler mary self evaluated over the offseason and told himself, 871 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: you know what, for this team to be successful successful 872 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: in the second half of the season, I am going 873 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: to have to be a leader. I am going to 874 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: have to take those steps and take control of the 875 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,320 Speaker 1: team because I mean, you guys know better than anyone 876 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: covering the NFL for years and years and decades and decades, 877 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: and right that to be successful and towards the end 878 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: of the season and into the postseason, you have to 879 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 1: have good leadership. And I feel like Kyler Mary's taken 880 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: a step into that direction. Hopefully he maintains it throughout 881 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: the entire season, but you know, it's it's a positive 882 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,720 Speaker 1: step for the Horizonal Cardinals. Well, if it's not Kyler, 883 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: obviously it could be Cam Newton. Did you see when 884 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 1: Cam Newton was released? How many of these I don't 885 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,720 Speaker 1: even know what you call them. They're not national publications. 886 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're blogs, But there was at 887 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 1: least a half dozen do a ten outlets NFL outlets 888 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 1: that had the Cardinals as a top five or top 889 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: three destination for Cam Newton. I mean, no, no, and 890 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: more no, are you kidding me? Not to mentioned, the 891 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 1: Cardinals got a firsthand look at Cam Newton a year 892 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: ago with his sub thirty passer rating in New England. 893 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: He was horrific last year. Even though the Cardinals figured 894 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: out a way to lose that game, which was probably 895 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: the most vaccine aspect of that loss in New England 896 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: is that Cam Newton was terrible. Yeah, you know it. Look, 897 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,919 Speaker 1: the reality is is that Cam Newton is not vaccinated 898 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: and a lot of people think that that's a possible 899 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 1: reason that he's no longer in New England. And it's 900 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: going to be tough for him just to get back 901 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 1: into a building because he's got to have a five 902 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: day waiting period just to get to any places. And 903 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, I know, I read one Dallas writer who 904 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,760 Speaker 1: said Cam Newton would be a great backup for Dak Prescott. 905 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: But there's no way you can take that risk with 906 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 1: him unvaccinated right now. So I mean, that's that's a reality. 907 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: But there are Vegas odds out as to the likelihood 908 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: of where he might go. Pittsburgh is number one the 909 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: most likely. The Cardinals are eighth according to official Vegas odds. 910 00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: You can wager on where Cam Newton is watched him Yeah, yeah, 911 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 1: always wash. What are the teams that had him? I 912 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: do not have one through eight, I'm sorry, I do 913 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: not have one through Dallas is number two, though Dallas 914 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 1: is tied for number two. Okay, I'm just they're just curious. 915 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,919 Speaker 1: But you know, the Cam Newton thing is really really interesting. Now. 916 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: It may have nothing to do with vaccinations. It may 917 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: have everything to do with all right, we are we 918 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: have Brian Hoyer, although I think they officially cut Brian Hoyer, 919 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 1: but they're gonna bring him right back because he's not 920 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,240 Speaker 1: going anywhere else. They know they can have a handshake 921 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 1: deal into the table and then this way they can 922 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: get a guy who's hurt onto the regular roster and 923 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: then put him on IR in two days and then 924 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 1: bring back Howyers. So they're gonna have Brian Hoyer as 925 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: their backup. Okay, So you just feel like, Okay, we're 926 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: gonna move on. We're gonna have Brian Hoyer, the the 927 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: the guy who knows how to be a backup as 928 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 1: our backup. And then you don't have any pressure on 929 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 1: Mac Jones in terms of, okay, now that he's got 930 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: the job, we're not going to have this. You know 931 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: in your face that there's a guy in the bench 932 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 1: that if things go bad, we're gonna throw him out there. 933 00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: And I in a lot of ways, I do like 934 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,839 Speaker 1: that idea because it's it's it's tough for a young 935 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: quarterback knowing that it's over the shoulder a little bit 936 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: in my opinion, and besides, yeah, you can't have a 937 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 1: Cam Newton in the risk of that locker room being 938 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: divided into factions between those who want the rookie quarterback 939 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,280 Speaker 1: and those who want that's what I wished former MVP. 940 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: You just, yeah, that's that's what I would think. It 941 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: makes no sense here for the Cardinals, though, I mean, 942 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,400 Speaker 1: I think I think it's been proven that Colt McCoy. 943 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: First of all, Coulte McCoy has been better in Camp 944 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: Felippe then I thought he was going to be. So 945 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: I've been impressed with him, and he's like the perfect 946 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: backup guy, and you know, Cam Newton is not coming 947 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: into be a third guy. I feel like they just 948 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: mentioned Cam Newton because of the similar play styles between 949 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: Kylert Cam Newton, and I feel like that's typical, you know, 950 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 1: like to your point, that is pretty lazy. But I 951 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't be shocked if he goes back, well, 952 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 1: goes back to his coach, Ron Rivera from his time 953 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 1: with the Panthers. Except with my first thought, and again 954 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to turn this into a COVID thing, 955 00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: but Ron Rivera has had cancer. Any talk, he gets 956 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: mad at his players that don't get vaccinated. He's not 957 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: bringing in no matter how much he loves. Maybe that 958 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 1: convinces Cam Maybe maybe hasn't Mike Zimmer hasn't convinced Kirk 959 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 1: Cousins yet they're not that close, you know. Yeah, So 960 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: what's left here? Is there a concern You're gonna go 961 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna go into the labor Day weekend and okay, 962 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: and you know, mandatory four days off and you got 963 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: your barbecues lined up. Maybe an out of town trip, 964 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,759 Speaker 1: maybe it's a staycation, none of the above, whatever, But 965 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: there's gonna be something perhaps that keeps you up at night, 966 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:33,919 Speaker 1: you wake up at three in the morning, there's something 967 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: on your mind with this team. What would that be? 968 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,240 Speaker 1: What's the biggest concern? What do you think has Cliff 969 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: Kingsbury getting up even earlier than his typical three forty 970 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: five wake up call and wondering about this team? What 971 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: do I think would keep Cliff up or what do 972 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 1: I think. Let's think of it through the eyes of 973 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,439 Speaker 1: the head coach. What should be most potentially vaccine right 974 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: now or concerning between now in September twelfth, if you're 975 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,319 Speaker 1: the head coach, beyond just another COVID outbreak, which is 976 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: totally beyond his realm. I mean, honestly, if I'm thinking that, 977 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: and I don't know the man that well because you 978 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 1: just don't get inside his head real easily, but I 979 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: would think it would be can my two young inside 980 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,319 Speaker 1: linebackers hold up? And a defense, especially now that we're 981 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: we just got a little younger at cornerback, can they 982 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,399 Speaker 1: hold up? You know, I think I got a pretty 983 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 1: decent defensive line. I think my secondary can be okay, 984 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,359 Speaker 1: can those guys hold up? That's what I would think. 985 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 1: Now if if if you were saying, what do I 986 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 1: think he should? I mean, my first thought would be, Hey, 987 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 1: this offense better freaking click. But I don't think he's 988 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 1: going to think like that. I think he's pretty confident 989 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,879 Speaker 1: in the offense. And you know what, us have had 990 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: the whole offseason to figure out a way how to 991 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: exploit a rookie middle linebacker and an inexperienced fellow inside linebacker. 992 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,960 Speaker 1: And for that reason, I expect to see a lot 993 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 1: of Jordan Hicks in Tennessee. I really do. And now, 994 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: especially with maybe your number of situations in a corner 995 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 1: and Isaiah Simmons better suited, you know, into the slot, perhaps, 996 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 1: but yeah, if I'm a head coach, I'm wondering, oh boy, 997 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 1: what are the Titans have in store for my two 998 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: young inside linebackers. I would agree with you on that. Yeah, 999 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 1: what would keep me up at night if I was 1000 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: Philippe Kingsbury. Um, I thought you were Philippe Collins. I 1001 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:24,479 Speaker 1: mean Philippa Wilson now Marco Wilson. Anyway, if I'm thinking 1002 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 1: about that Week one matchup, and I'm obviously they have 1003 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,479 Speaker 1: the top, if not the top, the best running back 1004 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL and Derrick Henry, I'm thinking about how 1005 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: that defensive line is going to be looking come Week 1006 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: one because they haven't necessarily been on the field at 1007 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: the same time Caps Jordan Phillips obviously, CHALLEA Jones has 1008 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: missed a missed a good chunk of training camp along 1009 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 1: with j J. Watts. So the cohesive, simeness, the cohesiveness 1010 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: of that defensive line would keep me up because you're 1011 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,440 Speaker 1: facing the top running back in the NFL and you 1012 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 1: have in your defensive line hasn't seen the field at 1013 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,239 Speaker 1: the same time. So here's my question. Guys, we just 1014 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,320 Speaker 1: got through sitting here saying we both because me and 1015 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 1: Paul are on the same thing, and you stayed on 1016 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. So that's the question. 1017 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 1: Maybe it's something I got to ask Cliff Kingsbury at 1018 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 1: some point in a press conference because I'm curious, like, 1019 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: as a guy with an offensive background, does he worry 1020 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 1: more about the offense because he's around it more and 1021 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 1: he knows all the intricate details, or does he worry 1022 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,839 Speaker 1: more about the defense because he doesn't have control over it. 1023 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: That's a great question. I think I'm gonna ask that 1024 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: question behind you. Make sure you ask that. If you forget, 1025 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: I'll make But it is a defense that finished in 1026 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 1: the bottom third in rund yeah, a year ago, so 1027 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 1: to fleet based point, Absolutely, the risk is real of 1028 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: being exploited by Derek Hunter Henry and that that run game, 1029 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,560 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. On the other hand, your 1030 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 1: your standout left tackle Taylor Luwan is coming off a 1031 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 1: torn acl and you only had a few snaps. So 1032 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,799 Speaker 1: good luck with Chandler Jones, especially if J. J. Watt 1033 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: has lined up next to him. I just want to 1034 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: point out that Paul has agreed with me twice on 1035 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,799 Speaker 1: this segment on this podcast, because Darren got a little 1036 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: snippy earlier, So ganging a darn for those just can't listen, 1037 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 1: for those for those that can't see right now, there's 1038 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 1: a lot of tension going on between Darren and Paul. 1039 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: They're sitting right next to each other. I got half 1040 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 1: an eye on Darren because I'm not sure what's coming. 1041 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: And then I got half an eye on the doorway 1042 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 1: in case the turk comes in here asking for my headset. 1043 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 1: So you know, you never know what's around the corner. 1044 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: I will say that on paper, on paper now. The 1045 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 1: d line J. J. Watt, Zach Allen, Jordan Phillips, Lucky 1046 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,240 Speaker 1: Foe too or Shard Lawrence, Corey Peters, and Vance Joseph 1047 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 1: is a guy called Michael Dogbe. Absolutely And by the way, 1048 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,800 Speaker 1: if Dogby does get cut, it will he will sign 1049 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 1: to somebody's fifty three in an instant think, Oh, I think, so, 1050 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 1: I really do. And so I'm a big fan of 1051 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,960 Speaker 1: Michael Dogby and a lot of guys. He's the guy 1052 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: who's been under the radar and really had a great 1053 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 1: offseason and has been much better this year in so 1054 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: far in camp. So I'm not surprised at all that 1055 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: he actually made this team. Now, whether he dresses on 1056 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 1: game day, we'll see what. I do. Expect our six 1057 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 1: defensive linement out there, at least five and they're gonna 1058 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 1: be coming in waves. And if jj Watt is not 1059 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,759 Speaker 1: playing over a thousand snaps like he did last year, 1060 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: guess what. I think. We're all intrigued to see that them. 1061 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: And he admitted it might be tough. You might have 1062 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 1: to tell him, okay, guess what you're sitting out this 1063 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 1: series and he might not like it, but long term 1064 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 1: it's best for him and it might turn in him 1065 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 1: into a really productive guy against the run. We'll see, Yeah, 1066 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:41,399 Speaker 1: you know so point. I'm just glad nobody came through 1067 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: the door and whack TV Ye. That's true. That's true. Okay, 1068 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: Well what is the real quick? Where do they go 1069 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 1: from here? In terms of the procedures and the processes. 1070 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: They can start signing guys to the practice squad effective Wednesday, 1071 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,480 Speaker 1: September first. Is that how that works? We're gonna they're 1072 00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,120 Speaker 1: gonna have their practice squad. I mean, I am hoping 1073 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 1: that all you people out there grab this up Tuesday 1074 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: afternoon as soon as it's posted and listened to it 1075 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 1: right away. But there's a very good possibility. You could 1076 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 1: be listening to it and they already have a practice squad. 1077 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,359 Speaker 1: So but yeah, they'll they'll have the one cool thing 1078 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 1: about how there's no fourth preseason game this year and 1079 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: that they can kind of adjust everything. I mean, in 1080 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 1: the past, you'd have that last preseason game on a Thursday, 1081 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: you'd have final cuts, do Saturday, they'd have to do 1082 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:28,200 Speaker 1: practice squad Sunday, and Monday's was still a big scramble. 1083 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 1: Right now, these teams will be done with I mean, 1084 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 1: the Cardinals will be finished practice Wednesday morning, and then 1085 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 1: they'll have put their practice squad together, so by the 1086 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: time they get their bonus practice on Labor Day, they'll 1087 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,399 Speaker 1: have their they'll have their entire roster together. So that'll 1088 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 1: be good. Because there was a moment in there when 1089 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 1: the Cardinal said five receivers after releasing Keyshawn Johnson before 1090 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,839 Speaker 1: the final fifty three came out and there was all 1091 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 1: this Larry fish Gerald content coming out on NFL dot 1092 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 1: com and at the NFL Twitter handle. I'm like, wait 1093 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: a minute, what do they know? Is this foreshadow in here? 1094 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: What exact And then I realized it's Larry and Darren's birthday. 1095 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,800 Speaker 1: And that was that was the cause and effect, right, So, Philippe, 1096 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 1: I think you joined me and wishing Darren a very 1097 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 1: happy birthday. Happy birthday, Darren, thank you, Happy thirtieth birthday, 1098 00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: Darren Rvan, thank you so much.

I'm not sure it was you know, 1102 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 1: the manners around here, you know, yeah, exactly. That'll do 1103 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 1: it for this edition of Cardinals Underground, brought to you 1104 00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 1: by Pacific Office Automation, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals.
