Here's Craig Griolou, Mike Jarecki, and three 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: time pro bowler Kyle Van Deenbasch. First impressions are important, gentlemen, 13 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: and I'd say the Cardinals first impression very very good 14 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: the preseason opener last Friday night against the Dallas cow Boys. 15 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: First thing, First, it was a win nineteen sixteen, but 16 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: the results don't matter. It's what happened between the lines 17 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: for those sixty minutes on Friday night, offense, defense and 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: special teams. And this that is where we're going to 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: begin this week's Cardinals Red Sea Report Craig Riel Loud, 20 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: Mike Drecki, and Kyle Van and Bosh going to kind 21 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: of take this at least off the top as far 22 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: as dividing that game into offense and defense, And apologies 23 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: to Mike Drecky because well, you didn't play either offense 24 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: or defense. We're gonna lean a little bit more on 25 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: Kyle over here, because, as the man said, he is 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: a three time Pro Bowler. So between the three of us, 27 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: we have three Pro Bowl appearances in our NFL career, 28 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: So I'm very excited about that. But Kyle, looking back 29 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: at Friday's game defensively, what stood out to you seeing 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: the starters for a limited amount of time and then 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: some of those key backups. Yeah, what stood out to 32 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: me was our coverage was good. Some of the younger 33 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: players Um specifically Marco Wilson take Owen Um did a 34 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: good job and man coverage look like they can hold 35 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: their own out there up front. You know, we were 36 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: we had guys that we had just signed, guys that 37 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: hadn't been with the team for long for a good 38 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: portion of the game. You know, I would like to 39 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: see them generate more pressure upfront, but they did control 40 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, did a good job against the 41 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: run game. So you know, there's some good things to 42 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: take away. You know, specifically, you wanted to see your 43 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: draft picks and your rookies play well, and I think 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: they did in the game. When you look at Collins, 45 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: everyone's going to talk about that second play of the game. 46 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: But you also told me a little bit earlier today 47 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: that Jordan Hicks made a similar play. Obviously not the 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: first round pick like Collins. Yeah, I was impressed with 49 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Davian Collins. I think he passed his first test. I 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: think he showed what we all expected. He's instinctive, he 51 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: is physical. I mean when he gets in on the tackles, 52 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: he's bringing some weight behind that tackle. He's fast, he's smart, 53 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: and he looked like he had a good control of 54 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: the defense. But yeah, I thought, you know, we had 55 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 1: talked about this before. There's a place for Jordan Hicks 56 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: on this defense, and it's not on the bench. He 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: will you know, he's he's shown over his career that 58 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: he can help this team, and not just from a 59 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: playmaking standpoint, but from a leadership standpoint. So, um, it'll 60 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they use those three inside 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: linebackers going into this game. MJ. I think all lies 62 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: were on Zavan Collins. I mean we talked about it 63 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: during the days leading up to that preseason opener. You 64 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: always focus on your first round draft pick, and yeah, 65 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: it's an inside linebacker. They don't get a lot of attention. 66 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: But this is a different situation. This is an inside 67 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: linebacker who's going to be the quarterback of the defense. 68 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: He's the one that's directing for everyone else on that field, 69 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: all tenant of the guys as far as where they're at, 70 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: so from that standpoint, and he spoke about it on 71 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: Friday as well as far as things went smoothly at 72 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: least from our vantage points. And then you brought up 73 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: the play. Second play of the ball game, Tony Pollard 74 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: hit for a two yard loss, and it was good 75 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: to see Collins show that athleticism and then the knowledge 76 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: of what he's been asked to do. All seemed to 77 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: come to fruition on that particular play. I you know, 78 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: as Kyle pointed out, I mean he's physical, he's fast. 79 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: You know that he's able to read his keys, and 80 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: it's all important with the eyes and you know, it's 81 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: it's you didn't have Buddha Baker out there, you didn't 82 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 1: have Chandler Jones, you didn't have j. J. Watt where 83 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: you know clearly you know Chandler and you know Marcus 84 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: Golden had been in the system. So you know, they're 85 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,559 Speaker 1: playing a bunch of guys that just got here. And again, 86 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: I thought they did a decent job against the rush 87 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. But yeah, I mean that's all you 88 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: can ask for it, and there's going to be growing pains. 89 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: But once you get some of these other players back 90 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: in the week one, that's how we're going to see 91 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: this defense explode. From a standpoint, there's a personality you've 92 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: added in the offseason. Collins was on the field for 93 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: twenty three snaps plus won on special teams. After the 94 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: ball game, Hey, coach Cliff Kingsbury specifically about Collins being 95 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: that starting mike linebacker. It's a work in progress, there's 96 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: no doubt, but he's once again, he's a guy who 97 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 1: works at it. You know, he's asking for extra meeting 98 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: time with coach Davis, coach Joseph premed major there at Tulsa, 99 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: so he has the IQ to get it done, and 100 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: he's been been grinding on it for the last three 101 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: months and we'll have our ups and downs there. That's 102 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: a tough position to play, but we like where it's heading. Yeah, 103 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: And one thing I really liked once he came out 104 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: of the game, he had the year piece in and 105 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: he sat or stood next to Billy Davis the entire 106 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: game and so now he you know, I believe Evan 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: Weaver was making the calls at that point, but he's 108 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: now seeing how the defense is supposed to line up. 109 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: Clearly different players. They may not be here in a 110 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: few weeks, but I like the fact that not only 111 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: a student of the game, but he also wants to 112 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: see what the defense looks like when he's not out there. 113 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: No JJ Watt, no Richard Lawrence, Jordan Phillips, Chandler Jones, 114 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: Budda Baker, all sitting for one reason or another, Kyle. 115 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: And then when those players are back then I think 116 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: as far as calling the defense will become a little 117 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: bit easier. But Collins does have to be the main voice, 118 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: the singular voice, at least for a particular play, and 119 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: if there's something that needs to be corrected, that's got 120 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: to happen on the sideline. Yeah, absolutely, And again I 121 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: think maybe the most impressive thing was his poise. At 122 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: no point did the game look like it was too 123 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: big for him. He looked like he's ready for this stage. 124 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: You know, looking at that play specifically, everybody wants to 125 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: focus on the one play and you know, let's all 126 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: plug the preseason disclaimer, Like, you know, he's going against 127 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: guys that might not be on the other team. He's 128 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: playing with guys that might not be on the team 129 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: down the road. But it was an inside zone play, right, 130 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: and the way that starts as you start by doubling 131 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: your bigs and then you come off on the linebacker. 132 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: He hit it so fast, came downhill so fast that 133 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: you can see what this is going to do for 134 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: the defensive line as well, not just him specifically. Teams 135 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: will no, look, we cannot hold these double teams. We 136 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: have to climb to the linebackers much quicker. We have 137 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: to come off, and so that gives the guys up 138 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: front an opportunity to make more plays and be more disruptive. 139 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: But disruptive as well if you have linebackers that are 140 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: just sitting there and they pause and they wait to 141 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: hit it. Then an offense has an opportunity because they 142 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: can move the bigs off the line of scrimmage and 143 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: they can climb to the linebackers. But he will take 144 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: that double team off of his defensive lineman real quick 145 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: if he's flowing downhill that fast. Now, Collins's fellow draft 146 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: defensive teammates were brought up. Marco Wilson four tackles to 147 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: pass his defense, Victor d Mucajee recovered a fumble, and 148 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: Tay Gallant, who spent a lot of time in the 149 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: second half, held his own account because he was targeted 150 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: I think five different times, but platform very very well. 151 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: Now we need to see it for a second time, 152 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: and that second time comes up this Friday against the 153 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. More on that in a moment. All right, 154 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: let's flip it over to the offensive side of the ball. 155 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: Where do you go, MJ When you look at the 156 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: offense production again, Kyler Murray did not play. Sat this 157 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: one out. He got a good week of practice, so 158 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: they didn't want to risk anything on Friday night against 159 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. But offensively, what stood out to you Ron 160 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: Delmore and the way Kingsbury used him I mean he 161 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: lined up in the slot the majority of the snaps, 162 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: and he was also involved in some jet sweeps or 163 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, impossibly a quick throw. And then Eno Benjamin. 164 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: I maybe I think we've all been waiting for this, 165 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: but Ron Delmore and Eno Benjamin. You know, ENO's fighting 166 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: for a roster spot at this point. You think he's 167 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: one of the top four with Jonathan Ward and Connor 168 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: and Edmonds. But I think, you know, Benjamin looks the 169 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: partner's a reason why the Cardinals draft him in the 170 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: seventh round. Life Eno Benjamin had fifty rushing yards and 171 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He also returned three kicks for a combined 172 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: eighty four yards. But Ron del Moore Kyle five touches, 173 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: thirty nine total yards. He had two carries, three catches. 174 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: We saw Jeff sweep, We saw a little flip from 175 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy, kind of a misdirection if you will, a 176 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: lot of different ways you can use that Cardinal's second 177 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: round draft pick how to Purdue. That I think has 178 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: people excited about what's to come once the regular season hits. Yeah, 179 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: I think everybody should be excited about you know, just 180 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: the small dose we saw of him. He appears to 181 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: be like the Swiss army knife, Like you can really 182 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: do just about anything with him. You can hand the 183 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: ball off to him and he can get the corner. 184 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: You can throw a bubble screen and he can take 185 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: it for a big gain. I think specifically with this offense, 186 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: in the direction of this offense will go this season 187 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: is you have two down the field threats with your 188 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: number one and your number two receivers. So it looks 189 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: like we may have found our guy to find those 190 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: zones underneath to the guy that when they're covered down 191 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: the field, you throw him at three yard pass and 192 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna get you twelve yards. And it's exciting to see. 193 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: You know, I'm surprised that they showed that much with him. 194 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: You know, it'd be nice to kind of have NBA 195 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: surprise and teams have to adjust to him and at 196 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: halftime early in the season. But you know, he looks 197 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: like he has the ability to do just about anything 198 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: that they ask of him in this offense. Yeah, that offense, specifically, 199 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: that second drive of the ball game was anything but vanilla. 200 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: And the man directing that offense and that drive, he 201 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: was on the field for three series. Colton McCoy getting 202 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: the start. His numbers MJ six to seven, sixty nine yards. 203 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: But it's how he handled himself. Remember this is a 204 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: brand new offense for him. He's still learning that part, 205 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: but I thought he acquitted himself very well for his 206 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: first time out. Yeah, I know that, you know, we 207 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: don't really focus on the backup quarterback, but I think 208 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: they've been very consistent throughout the offseason. This is a 209 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: home run to bring in a guy that's not looking 210 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: over the shoulder of Kyla Murray. They have a great 211 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: relationship and Murray's now, you know, teaching him the offense 212 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: and so you know, hopefully, you know, Murray can stay 213 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: healthy for all seventeen games, but Colton McCoy, the offense 214 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: really doesn't change. He may go under center a little 215 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: bit more, but for the most part, I mean he's steady. 216 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: And the fact is, you know, you're comfortable with that position, 217 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: where last year with Chris Streveler in Week seventeen, you're 218 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: thinking they got to upgrade that position. So in perfect world, 219 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't see the field, but in the preseason, you 220 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: know he's gonna, you know, show his upside, and I 221 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: think he passed the eye test. Let's hear from the 222 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: head coach, Cliff Kingsbury and how he thought Colt McCoy 223 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: did against the Cowboys. Yeah, I thought he did a 224 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: nice job handling the system first time ever really playing 225 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: in a game situation on our offense and operationally was 226 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: was really smooth and made good decisions and so I 227 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: thought under dress at times he handled himself well. And 228 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: then listening to McCoy postgame, Kyle, was what happened once 229 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: McCoy was off the field and standing a lot with 230 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray as far as discussing, all right, what do 231 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: we do here? What would you do? This is what 232 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: I thought I saw, And I think that more than anything, 233 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: the relationship between Kyler Murray and Colt McCoy off the 234 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: field is going to be huge, a benefit that I 235 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: don't think Kyler has had in his first two seasons 236 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: in the NFL. And that's nothing against Brett Huntley, but 237 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: you're talking about someone who's got experience at a lot 238 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: of it, and then certainly a cabable of more than 239 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: cable college quarterback back in the day at Texas. Yeah, 240 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: he's seen everything, and it's that extra set of eyes 241 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: for Kyler when he comes to the sideline during the game, 242 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: he's you know, what I saw from him in the 243 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: game when he was on the field was poison leadership. 244 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: And on top of that, he showed real good accuracy 245 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: him and he threw threw a dime to Christian Kirk 246 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: on the sidelines and it was a great pass. And 247 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: in the face of pressure a couple of times he 248 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: had guys in his face and he was able to 249 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: excuse me, he was able to step up and deliver. 250 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: And another guy when he got to the sidelines, he 251 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: was wearing the earpiece, standing right next to you know, 252 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: Cam Turner or Kingsbury obviously, you know, not getting in 253 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: the way. But again he's still learning the offense, and 254 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: Straveler has been in the offense for a second year, 255 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: so he did have the earpiece too, and I'd like 256 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: to see Kyler possibly do that. He's not going to 257 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: play in these preseason games. Colt McCoy again, three series 258 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: six to seven, sixty nine yards, Chris Stravelers seven series 259 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: twelve or twenty four one hundred and seven yards and 260 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: then ten carries for fifty five yards, and of course 261 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: he was on the field directing that four minute offense 262 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: for a game time field goal, and then a two 263 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: minute offense to give Matt Prador in position to kick 264 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: the game winning field goal, a forty seven yarder as 265 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: time expired. Prador four of four on field goals. So 266 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: when Kyle showed up today, and you know, I was 267 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: trying to get his thoughts on the game, and he 268 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: has notes and all that. One of the first things 269 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: he said, if Matt Prator was here last year the 270 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals were in the postseason, yeah, I would echo that's 271 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: as well. When we come back, well here and speak 272 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: with Eno Benjamin, the Cardinals running back. Right here on 273 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals rightio network, Eno Benjamin takes a line 274 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: drive kick three yards deep in his own then zone 275 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: out across the numbers of ten to twenty. He's got 276 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: a lane at the thirty and then's tackled at a 277 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: thirty three yard by Eno Benjamin. Nice vision and a 278 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: first Eno Benjamin to run up the mental. He's got 279 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: room across the forty of the fifty. He's in the 280 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: near sideline at the forty trying to turn on the 281 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: jets at the thirty inside that's twenty five and Eno Benjamin, 282 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: how about that for the former a se running back 283 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: first and goal from the six to give his Dino 284 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: Benjamin off the left side. He's got plenty of room 285 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: to run and he faults into the end zone untouched. 286 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: Cardinal's touchdown is a calf to drive after the takeaway 287 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: by the defense, Eno Benjamin cashes it in for six. 288 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: Just some of the big time plays Eno Benjamin made 289 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: on Friday Nights against the Dallas Cowboys. One hundred and 290 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: thirty four total yards, whether it was rushing the football 291 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: or returning kicks, and of course that six yard touchdown 292 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: run they made it ten three in the second quarter. Eno, 293 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us here on the Red Sea Reports, 294 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: and let's just start there with the touchdown run. Everyone 295 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: talks about the length and certainly what you were able 296 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: to do with the vision that you had certainly on 297 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: the touchdown and then your big carry of thirt eight yards. 298 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: Walk us through those two plays. Really it starts with 299 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: the offensive line first and kind of just knowing their 300 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: schemes and how they're blocking it and kind of have 301 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: an idea of where the ball is going before the 302 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: balls even snapped. And so the offensive line they did 303 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: a really good job as far as making their calls, 304 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: they made it easy for me to read, and from 305 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: there it's just instinctual. After that, You've been a huge 306 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: bright spot during training camp and of course locally here 307 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: having played at Arizona State. Everyone wanted to talk to 308 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: you after that ball game. I'm gonna try to take 309 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: a different angle to what happened on Friday night. Did 310 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: you have family and friends in attendance at State Farm 311 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: Stadium watching you perform? Oh? Yeah, I had my first 312 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: cousins who actually live out here who came to their game. Um, 313 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: I think she brought her kids and her husband as well, 314 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: so they had the opportunity and the chance to see 315 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: me play. You know, when I look at you, know 316 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: the way you looked in the offseason workouts leading over 317 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: to OTAs and the mandatory mini camp, two swords come 318 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: to me. You look confident and comfortable. Talk about how 319 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: comfortable you are now being in the system your second year, 320 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: really just having a better understanding of what's going on, 321 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: and not only that, what's expected. And so I've had 322 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: conversations with Com and Com says he believes in me, 323 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: and so from there, um, it's just kind of letting 324 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: the game come to me. I'm and doing whatever I'm 325 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: asked to do to the best of my ability. As 326 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: you know, last year, you know we would get a 327 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: question every single week when you know Benjamin going to 328 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: be active, and I'm sure your family was asking you 329 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: the same question. They said, well, he's got to play 330 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: on special teams. You are playing on special teams. To 331 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: talk about that role, as you know, being a backup, 332 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: that is very important to be active on game day, Yes, sir, 333 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: that is what brings you up as a backup, is 334 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: playing on special teams. It was unfortunate last year, Um, 335 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: I didn't get that opportunity as far as making that happen. 336 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: But I think this offseason was just a way for 337 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: me to get mentally ready to come back and take 338 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: on that challenge. I went to Arizona Stadium, and with 339 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: being game there, I wasn't asked to do much of 340 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: special teams. It was more just running the ball. So 341 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: kind of just took a whole year to kind of 342 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: learn what's expected on those phases and get it done. 343 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: And two guys you mentioned who obviously have been really 344 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: good special teams player, Trent Sherfield and Dennis Cardeck what 345 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: kind of pointers or advice have they given you? Well? Really, um, 346 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: just learning from Trent. I'm visually I was behind him, 347 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: and a lot of the stuff I'm as far as 348 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: practice and so just kind of just seeing the way 349 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: he worked, seeing the way he handled himself, and then 350 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: outside of the building as well as one of those things. 351 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the guard deck has just been giving me 352 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: pointers at m putting return um, stuff that I should 353 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: be looking for and stuff that I could do to 354 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: get an advantage on my getting advantage on the opposition. 355 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: You had three long kickoff returns, thirty five, twenty four 356 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: and twenty five other special teams roles. What else does 357 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: Jeff Rogers have you as far as return units or 358 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: coverage units? Uh? He has me as a off coverage guy. 359 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: I'm an L two on there. I'm a gunner on 360 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: punt as well as a punt return and kickoff return. 361 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: How is the gunner position? Because I can get very 362 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: physical sometimes maybe one on two and you're the one 363 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: trying to go against two guys. Yeah? Um, what's so? 364 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: Then with that, you've got Chuck Washington, who who's there. 365 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: He's a veteran guy who's done it quite a bit, 366 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: so I'm after practice, I stay with him. Um some 367 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: days and we just get extra work. Um. Like you 368 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: said two verses one that that is a disadvantage. UM, 369 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: So you've got to win and be able to make plays. 370 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: You know last year when you were inactive and you're 371 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: in sweats, Well, what was it like that? I mean, 372 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: were you you were watching everything just hoping for that opportunity. 373 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: I mean, how difficult was it knowing that you weren't 374 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: going to be able to play on a Sunday or 375 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: a Monday night football. I mean it was really difficult. 376 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: But the way that I went into it in practice 377 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: or the next week after the game was any day 378 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: might be my chance. So um, continue to get better 379 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: and continue to be ready. UM and so UM, I 380 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: remember just being on the sidelines and Sacks telling me 381 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: to remember that feeling. UM. So I was kind of 382 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: just taking it all in and knowing what I was 383 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: going to get myself into next year and so I'd 384 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: be ready and more prepared. Speaking a running backs coach, 385 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: James Saxon's he really likes this room, and maybe the 386 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: top four in yourself and Jonathan ward an't he and 387 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds and James Connor, So talk about the chemistry 388 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: you guys have it because it seems like they're all 389 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: rooting for each other. Oh yeah, definitely. M We are 390 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: all just doing what we're asked to do, and how 391 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: it shakes out or how it plays out, its gonna 392 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: play out. Jonathan Ward's actually one of my best friends 393 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: on the team. We talk all the time and we 394 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: hang out quite a bit. And so I men, just 395 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: like I said, just trying to compete against each other 396 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: and hoping for the best that comes within that. You know, 397 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: that's interesting. You've got in that running back room a 398 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: lot of competition and there's a lot of people believe that, 399 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, three running backs maybe potentially four running backs kept. 400 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: But then to hear you say, you and Jonathan Ward 401 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: are good friends, best friends, and perhaps maybe you're coming 402 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: down to the front office looking at between one of 403 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: you guys making this roster. Is that something thing talked 404 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: about or is that just something that you guys can't 405 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: really pay much attention to. I feel like it's something 406 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: that we don't pay attention to because at the end 407 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: of the day, it's out of our control, and so 408 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: there's no need to speak or worry about things like that. 409 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: You know, you you tapped out of the bull game 410 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: and for right reasons, And I wanted to say, you 411 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: went to the senior ball. How much weight did you 412 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: put it on going to the combine? I think it 413 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: was around twelve pounds. I want to say, I kind 414 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: of was just taking a step back and just kind 415 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: of reshaping my body. I was changing the way I 416 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: was eating as far as meats, I was going straight 417 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: fish and straight off, just really straight healthy food. And 418 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: I was able to shed a lot of weight and 419 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: then I'll put it back on headed towards the combine. 420 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: Now did you meet with the Cardinals and James Sex 421 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: in there? I did. I had conversations with them. What 422 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: was that like? I mean, thinking, man, I could play 423 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: it seems states as I played college football. What was 424 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: those conversations like? Really? I guess just going through that, 425 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: I never really thought, um, the Cardinals would be the 426 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: team that wouldn't get me, honestly. You know Benjamin joining 427 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: us here on the Cardinals. Red Sea reports, of course, 428 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: we know you a Benjamin from his time at Arizona 429 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: States November thirtieth, twenty nineteen that before Friday Night, your 430 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: most recent time in a game and now putting on 431 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: a Cardinals uniform. As our producer Jim I'm one hundred 432 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: pointed out during the broadcast that time on Friday night, 433 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: your first opportunity to put a Cardinals uniform on outside 434 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: of media day. Did did you have a moment just 435 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: to kind of soak everything in, either before the game 436 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: or during the game when you stepped on the field 437 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: for the first time I'm coming out for pregame when 438 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: the returners came out, it was that's when I guess 439 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: it was hitting me as like, Okay, this is this 440 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: is the time now that we were waiting for, and 441 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: just to have the fans back cheering and making a 442 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: lot of sound, it just it brought that that great 443 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: feeling back of this is real football for me. Five 444 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: carries for fifty yards and a touchdown. So the mindset 445 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: going in this week with the Kansas City Chiefs in town. 446 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how or how much has been discussed 447 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: as far as playing time or what the snap count's 448 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: going to be, But how do you view this game 449 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: coming up on Friday? M My view, this game is 450 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: just another opportunity to go out there and show that 451 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm capable of doing whatever I'm asked on the field 452 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: to the best of my ability. Can't let you get 453 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: away without asking about your alma mater. How much are 454 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: you paying attention to what's going on literally down the 455 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: street when you guys are back in Tempe as far 456 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: as what the sun doubles and the expectations for this 457 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: team coming into twenty twenty one. UM, I know that 458 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: they've got I want to say, twenty of twenty two 459 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: starters coming back. Um. So this is a big year 460 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of things going on there that 461 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying not to focus on. UM. I know the 462 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: team is not focusing on it as well. UM. I 463 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: think they're Their thing is just to stay focused on 464 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: the main thing in which is winning the PAC twelfth 465 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: South and also winning the Pack twelve and I'm getting 466 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: to the Rose Bowl, um. And so I believe in 467 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: those guys and I know that they can do it. 468 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: They've got a good veteran lead squad, especially on defense 469 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: coming back, and then you've got Jaden Daniels who's a playmaker. 470 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: So I am definitely looking forward to seeing big things 471 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: from them. Now. When when you look at the program 472 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: as itself, though, I mean it's I guess if you 473 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: look on paper and you mentioned all the guys coming back, 474 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: I think over the next couple of years, you guys 475 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: are gonna have a lot more draft picks than you've 476 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: had over the last couple of years. Would you agree 477 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: with that? I do agree with that, and that's a 478 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: testament to what Herm and those guys are doing in 479 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: the building. They're making it all a competitive and bringing 480 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: in guys who are able to compete and play at 481 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: the at the next level as well.

Two receivers to the near side 500 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: and out of the gun, three step drop, plenty of time. 501 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: Rifles went over the middle, and there's Marco Wilson and 502 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 1: coverage with a past breakup step first step with the 503 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: intended receiver. Very impressive showing by the young Cardinal defenders, 504 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: obviously led by Zavan Collins. Two tackles, one tackle for loss, 505 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: one quarterback hits. He and Isaiah Simmons on the field 506 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: together for three defensive series. And then it was mainly 507 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: those backups and reserve players that hopefully will make a 508 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 1: name for themselves either with the Arizona Cardinals or showcase 509 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: their talents for the other thirty one teams around the 510 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: National Football League. We talked gentlemen about Zavian Collins earlier 511 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,239 Speaker 1: here on the Cardinals Red see report. Craig Rayolu, Mike 512 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: Drecky and Colvin and Bosch spoke us a little bit 513 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: more on Marco Wilson and Tay Gowan in that secondary Kyle, 514 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: because I think if the Cardinals want to know what 515 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: they have, yeah, you want to be able to see 516 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: these guys in game action and show something. You don't 517 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: need to be perfect all the time. But Marco Wilson 518 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: certainly did impress. And right now you look at the 519 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: cornerback room Byra Murphy, Robert Alford, Malcolm Butther and Marco 520 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: Wilson right now, I think might have the leg up 521 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: as far as being that number four corner. Yeah, really, 522 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: both of the rookies showed well. I thought, you know, 523 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: what you want to see is them. While it may 524 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: not be what you do, um primarily during the regular season, 525 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: you want to see them in one on one situation, 526 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: see them um try to lock down a man on 527 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: the outside, and um, you know both show that ability. 528 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: You know, specifically Marco Wilson and UM, you know it's 529 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: it's a crowded cornerback room, it's you know, there's there's 530 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: still a lot of gray area there on who's going 531 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: to be filling those seats. Once the regular season rolls around, 532 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: and who's gonna see the field during the regular season, 533 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: And um that's primarily what preseason football has turned into. 534 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: It's it's filling out the back half of your roster. 535 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: And you know we've talked about before. Um, I could 536 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: ask Mike Jarecki, Hey, who do you think is going 537 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: to make this team? And he could probably be right 538 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: on fifty of him. It's just those last few spots 539 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: right now that guys are trying to earn. And what 540 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: separates the last few guys is how they perform when 541 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: the bright lights come on, how they perform against other 542 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: teams in that competitive environment. The thing is, I don't 543 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals would continue to look for another 544 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: veteran corner because dark ques Denard, he hasn't been on 545 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: the field. And so right now, you know, a fourth 546 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: round pick who played in the SEC. He's going to 547 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: be active on game day, He's going to play on 548 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: teams And now he gives you a little luxury. And 549 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: I thought he should have had an interception and Galland 550 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: was targeted five times. And you know he's showing up 551 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: in training camp, you know, getting his hands on a 552 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: couple of different footballs. So I mean, I think Glan 553 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: may be a practice squad guy, but who knows. That's 554 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: what the preseason for. But Marco Wilson's going to be 555 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: active on game day and he's got the size six 556 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: feet one hundred ninety one pounds Tay Gallon six foot one. 557 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: So you've got some tall corners, young tall corners for 558 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: the Cardinals right now in that cornerback's room is nine 559 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: deep at the moment. We'll see how that fluctuates as 560 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: we get closer and closer to the regular season. Back 561 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: to Marco Wilson, he was made available to media on 562 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: Sunday and again first real action since the end of 563 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: his college career. Asked about his mentality heading into that 564 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: first preseason game. The mentality was just just go out 565 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: there and have fun. Honestly, that was that was my 566 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: main focus. And just make sure I know what I 567 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: was doing playbook wise, make sure I knew my defensive 568 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: calls and I could play full speed. And that's what 569 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: I felt like. I went out there and did that. 570 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: We talk about winning your one on one matchups, MJ, 571 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: and yeah, you play amongst a group of eleven players, 572 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: but in preseason there's very little game planning, if any 573 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: at all. You're hardly and maybe you don't even watch 574 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: film of the opponent. But your job is to figure 575 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: out who's in front of you. And if I'm an 576 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: offensive player, I need to beat you. If I'm a 577 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: defensive player, I need to stop you. And I think 578 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: for the most part, those young players and Marco Wilson 579 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: particularly did just that. Yeah, and there's times when maybe 580 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler wasn't practicing. You know, Robert Alfer has been 581 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,239 Speaker 1: there out there every day and Byron Murphy and they 582 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: do have drills where you're going up against A. J. 583 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: Green and DeAndre Hopkins. And speaking of that, both Take 584 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: Gowan and Marco Wilson mentioned that before the game, DeAndre 585 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: Hopkins went over there and you know, even though A. 586 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: Cooper and Michael Gallup didn't get a lot of run, 587 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: but ceedee lamb and he kind of he came a 588 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: scouting report on what to look for covering these receivers 589 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: and here Hopinson street clothes and put his arm around 590 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: these guys and say, just go out there and play free. 591 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: You don't think it, can overthink it. So that's good 592 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: for to have that knowledge to say I'm going to 593 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: help these young guys because at the end of the day, 594 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: Hopkins wants to win. Both of those young corners did 595 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: mention how much faster the game is, Kyle and take 596 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: outn't even joked yet that a little bit bigger as well. 597 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: But for Marco Wilson coming out of the SEC, there 598 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: is there is certainly a jump from the SEC to 599 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: the NFL, but it's not as big as jump as 600 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: well some other conferences, some other smaller schools. And you're 601 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: facing top wide receivers every single Saturday. Now it's every 602 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: single day, whether it's practice or on Sundays. Yeah, it's 603 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: not you know, every once in a while going up 604 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: against potentially a first round draft pick or an elite receiver. 605 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: Like you said, it's it's every week. But he has 606 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: had that exposure he has going up against some elite 607 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: wide receivers before and and it shows and it helps. 608 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no mystery why. You know, scouts like 609 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: kids from these big colleges that have played against good 610 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: competition because they're ready. It doesn't take time to develop. 611 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: If you take a guy that has all the measurables, 612 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: looks good on tape, but he went to a small school. 613 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: There's still that big question mark about you know, well, 614 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: how is he going to do against elite competition, And 615 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: it takes some time to figure out, and sometimes you 616 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: miss on those type of players. But when you have 617 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: the film and you can see how they did when 618 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: they lined up against some elite receivers in college, then 619 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: then you feel a little more comfortable with that draft pick. Yeah, 620 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: and he was covering guys like Jalen Waddle and Jamar Chase, 621 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: and those guys are first round picks, and you know 622 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: eventually there'll be number one wide receivers and I'm sure 623 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: those teams are drafting them for that. So yeah, I 624 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: just again, as you mentioned with Collins, didn't seem like 625 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: it was too big for them. Now. I'm sure the 626 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: Butterfly's first games cowboys, you know, But the fact that 627 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: he played in that big conference, I think that's going 628 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: to help the process to where he's gonna go through 629 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: some growing pains and once he's on the field, he's 630 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: gonna get targeted, but you know, mental mistakes. If he 631 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,479 Speaker 1: can cut those down and just play free, he's got 632 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: an opportunity to play on special teams and we'll see 633 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: what kind of where he is in the depth chart 634 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: right now, he's fourth Marco Wilson thirty five defensive snaps, 635 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: seven on special teams. Let's get his thoughts on how 636 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: he performed against the Cowboys. I felt pretty good about it. 637 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: Definitely some things I could clean up about my game, 638 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: but overall went out there and felt confident, just have fun. 639 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: So it was it was cool to go out there 640 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: and get my feet wet for the first time in 641 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: the NFL. You look at his teammate, Tay Gowen was 642 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: on the field for thirty four defensive snaps, seven on 643 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: special teams and MJ those two, Marco Wilson and Tay Gawen, 644 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: are you gonna be connected at the help not only 645 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: great friends, but same draft class and certainly same position. 646 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: But you hope that the Cardinals. You know, when you're 647 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: a Day three pick, some question whether you can make 648 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: it in this league. But right now and pressed, especially 649 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: with Marco Wilson, his ability to not only play on 650 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: special teams but certainly get some reps and some game 651 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: action on Sundays as a cornerback. Yeah, I was talking 652 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: to Kyle earlier and he thought Gowan showed up. I mean, 653 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: he was targeted five times, and you're gonna get build 654 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: confidence here. And now the question becomes how many corners 655 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: do you keep? And I still think they're going to 656 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: look at the waiver of a wire to bring in 657 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: a veteran guy, could be for insurance, could put him 658 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: on the practice squad. How many safeties do you keep? 659 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: But right now I think it's safe to say who 660 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: we know the top four corners are the other young defender, 661 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: and we brought him up in our first segment here 662 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: on the Cardinal's Red Sea Report. But Victor D mccagee 663 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: recovered a fumble the outside linebacker out of Duke. He 664 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: obviously wears a good number in number ninety two, Bertram 665 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: Berry's old number, and someone I think Kyle might have 666 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: a option or the ability maybe even make this team 667 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,479 Speaker 1: as well. When you look at the outside linebacker position 668 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: with Chandler Jones, Marcus Golden, Devon Kannard, Kylie Fitz and 669 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 1: then you know Dennis Gardack right now is on pup. 670 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: They might look for a young player, especially if you 671 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: could show something here in the next couple of weeks. Yeah, absolutely, 672 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: just needs to show the playmaking ability. I mean physically, 673 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: he looks the part right, He's he's strong, he's stout, 674 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna hold up against the run. But in this defense, 675 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: you need to be able to get after the quarterback 676 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: and put the quarterback on the ground. So I think 677 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: that's something you need to look for him going forward, 678 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: especially these last two preseason games, is just his playmaking ability, 679 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: his ability to get the quarterback off the spot and 680 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: put him under pressure. You look at his measurable six 681 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: two two sixty two, and there's a lot of guys 682 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: in that room that he can lean on. How much 683 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: do you think he's picking the brain of a Chandler, 684 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: a Marcus and even some of the defensive lineman as well, 685 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: especially trying to get after the quarterback. Yeah, it's a 686 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: big deal, and you know, I know it's it's a 687 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: really a point of emphasis for this team. They brought 688 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: in a pass rush specialist to help some of the 689 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: players here in training camp. And you know, in college, 690 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure he was probably the strongest guy in the 691 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: field and could bull rush and dominate a lot of 692 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: offensive tackles. But it's not like that in the NFL. 693 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: And you have to learn and you have to perfect 694 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: and you have to really study offensive linemen and offensive tackles, 695 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: and you know, that's all part of being a rookie, 696 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: especially a rookie defensive end or outside linebacker, is learning 697 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: how to study film, learning how to set up pass rushers, 698 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: so when something's not working in the first quarter, you 699 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: come with something else in the second quarter, and you know, 700 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: just the mental part of it's a It's a big 701 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: part of being a pass rusher. You know, two of 702 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 1: the seventh round pick, you mentioned Demacage, but James Wiggins 703 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: twenty nine snaps well, fourteen snaps on special teams. He 704 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: had two special teams tackles, and I think he's competing 705 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: with Seawan Williams, who obviously came over from Cincinnati more 706 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: of a special teams player. But you know, again, you 707 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: don't see seventh round picks guarantee, but I think he's 708 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: in the mix. Again, how many safeties do you keep? 709 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: I got to think the top four there are Buddha 710 00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: Thompson twins and then Chris Banjo speaking Buddha Baker.

When we come back, we'll 716 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: preview preseason game number two the Kansas City Chiefs at 717 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: State Farm Stadium. That's next here on the Arizona Cardinals 718 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: Radio Network. First down in ten at the Dallas twenty 719 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: eight Edmondson motion now here he comes on an end 720 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: around Rondale Moore. As he comes across the twenty when 721 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: ahead of steam making men miss, and you're reminded of 722 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: that comment by Drew Grigson, the director of Player Personnel, 723 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: where he said, this kid doesn't just move, he teleports. 724 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: And for a couple of strides there you saw the 725 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: expulsiveness you did, and you see a fearlessness too. That's 726 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: the thing that I was looking for. You see him 727 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: hit that gear and he's not worried about getting hit 728 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: or where he's going to make his next cut. He 729 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: is going one hundred miles an hour trying to get 730 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 1: this ball man Zoe. There was a wide receiver screen, 731 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: there was a jet sweep, there was a fake to 732 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: chase Edmons, little undernus underneath tossed to rondel More. The 733 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals used the Cardinals or the second year of wide 734 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: receiver out of Purdue and a number of different ways 735 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: in the preseason opener on Friday. That was the voice 736 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: of Paul Calves and Drew Stanton talking about rondel Moore 737 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: in that nineteen sixteen win last Friday. This week, the 738 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,280 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs are in town five pm on National 739 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: Television ESPN will having an of course, pregame coverage begins 740 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: at one thirty on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network. As 741 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: we kind of turn our attention to that game, obviously, 742 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: Kyle will see more of rondel Moore, maybe not as 743 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: exotic as we did against the Cowboys because now it's 744 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: on film. And I know you expressed some surprise earlier 745 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: in the show that they showed as much as they did, 746 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,479 Speaker 1: and that the question becomes what is the next step 747 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: for rondel Moore preseason game number two? Well, I think 748 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: your next step is showing his ability to get opened 749 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: down the field, um not just uh, you know, motioning 750 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: into the backfield or these um you know, bubble screens 751 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: or checkdown passes. You know, he's he's a burner and 752 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: he has the ability to separate deep and so you know, 753 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm hoping to see a little bit of that this 754 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: game from him, just to show that he really can 755 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: do everything that your offense asked of him. On the 756 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: other side of the coin, though, do you think Kingsburg 757 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: just trying to stuff to see what works. Yeah, well 758 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: that's you know. Preseason is for everybody, right and you're 759 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: trying to see what your players can do and what 760 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: they can what plays they can execute, what routes they 761 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: run best, how your quarterback goes through his progressions. I mean, 762 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 1: so as a coach, you know your your X and 763 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: out plays saying Okay, we can't run this, or we 764 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: can't put this guy in this spot, or we need 765 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 1: to put somebody else here. So I think it's a 766 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: little ferimentation for everybody. Now. According to Kingsbury, I think 767 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: he said it twice that normally Andy will play his starters. 768 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: All four quarterbacks played in the first preseason game. Mahomes 769 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 1: only played four snaps, two or handoffs to Clyde Edwards Zilaire, 770 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: and then Chad Henny came in and he had an interception. 771 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: So I don't know how much their first string offense 772 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: is going to play. But matchup wise, they do have 773 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: some weapons. I don't know how much time. Travis Kelsey's 774 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: gonna get Tyreek Hill, and they got some new players 775 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: there that they drafted. So but according to a Cliff, 776 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: he said it twice now that they usually play a 777 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: little bit more than other teams in the preseason. Yeah, 778 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: we'll see exactly as far as availability and of course 779 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: snap counts, but I would expect Rondell More to be 780 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 1: on that field on Friday nights. Postgame last Friday after 781 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: beating the Cowboys, Rondell Moore joined Paul Calves and Drew Stanton. 782 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: I think my confidence always remains the same, regardless of 783 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: the situation or what's happened in the past or what 784 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: will happen or whatever doesn't change for me. I come 785 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: in with the same mindset and you know, just worked 786 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: my tail off during the week and do everything I 787 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 1: can to be prepared. You really gotta love this kid's attitude, MJ. 788 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's very business like. Yet he's not 789 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: walking in as if he knows everything. He's always searching 790 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: out coaches, He's always wanting to do extra work to 791 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: improve himself well and not a lot of cliches. I mean, 792 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: he's he means business and he works hard. Like what 793 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: I was telling you, I got you know, after we 794 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: did the Early Bird special. He was out there stretching 795 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: and he's obviously had some hamstring injury in the past, 796 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: and he was catching the ball. So yeah, sky's a 797 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: limit for him. But I like his attitude and when 798 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 1: they drafted him, they kind of referred to him as 799 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: Steve Smith's senior. And I was talking to Jimmy I'm 800 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: a hundred before the show, and he kind of has 801 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 1: some of the Bolden in him. Now, clearly an Quin 802 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: didn't have a great forty time, but just the toughness, 803 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: willing to, you know, take the tackles and take on 804 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: the opponents. So you know, so far he's past the 805 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: eye test. He's a rookie, so there's going to be 806 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: some games where maybe you know, teams are going to 807 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: try to bracket him, but you can't do that with 808 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: Hopkins and Hill I'm sorry, aj Green. So it'll be 809 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 1: interesting to see how they use him. And I don't 810 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: think we're going to see him in the preseason returning 811 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: kicks and punts. I think it's a great opportunity for 812 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: guys like Eno Benjamin to get their feet wet there 813 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: because you don't want to show that. And I think 814 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: he we'll see if he becomes both the punt and 815 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: kick returner. Listed at five foot seven, one hundred and 816 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: eighty one pounds, But as DeAndre Hopkins said earlier in 817 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 1: training camp, plays like he's six two talking about Rondell Moore. 818 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 1: Also let's hear from Rondell More on what he wants 819 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: to work on now coming up in this second preseason game. 820 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: The plan stays the same for me, man, Just stay 821 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: on a playbook, continue to recognize coverages as fast as 822 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: I can see my triangle when I line up, understand 823 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: the meaning of the play where the ball is trying 824 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: to go, my job on the play, and just continue 825 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: to work hard and build chemistry with these guys here offensively. 826 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: On Friday, Kyle not exactly sure how much, if at all, 827 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: we'll see Kyle le Murray. We do know defense of 828 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: leave that Chandler Jones will not play. That's according to 829 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury. Jones not spotted during the open 830 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 1: portion or practice on Tuesday. Neither was Marcus Golden, but 831 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: not dealing with anything very serious and likely a game 832 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: day decision on whether Marcus Golden plays. But for you, 833 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: preseason game number two against a very quality opponent in 834 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, whether that's offense, defense or special teams, 835 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: what are you hoping the Cardinals get out of Friday? Yeah? 836 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,720 Speaker 1: It's selfishly a lot of people have the Chiefs pencil 837 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: in in the Super Bowl already, and rightfully so. I mean, 838 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: they've got weapons, they've got talent. I would like to 839 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: see some of our stars out there. I would like 840 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: to see us match touchdown for touchdown. It's a nationally 841 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: televised game. You know, it's an opportunity to showcase what 842 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: we have, the players, we've assembled, the weapons that we 843 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: can trot out onto the field every week. And you know, 844 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,919 Speaker 1: as good as it was to know that, it looks 845 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: like we've found our kicker for field goes as to 846 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: him any We've got to be able to get touchdowns 847 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: and get six points on the board for us to 848 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: be the type of team we want to be. And 849 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: the other side of it, the thing I'm looking for, 850 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: um is just an improvement on the offensive line. Um 851 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: our starters played Um, you know, mostly starters played last week. 852 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,240 Speaker 1: Did Okay struggled in pass protection, whether it be starters 853 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: or backups in the game, And so in the trenches, 854 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: I'd like to see our offensive line um pass protect 855 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: better and I'd like to see our defensive line get 856 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: more pressure on the quarterback. Yeah, a couple of penning 857 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: mees from Hudson and then DJ Humphries and I think 858 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: you know, Kelvin Beach would be the first two Hi minute. 859 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: He didn't play well and he took he had a 860 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: picture usually back to the lab so he could see 861 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: that he needs to pick it up a little bit. 862 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: From Kyler Murray standpoint, would you like to see him 863 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: play a series or two? Yeah, absolutely absolutely, Um. And 864 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: and again it's it's it's to kind of you know, 865 00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: we have this opportunity with an Ashley televised game here 866 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: in Arizona to showcase what we have, and there's no 867 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: better weapon that we have on the entire team than 868 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, and so I would like to see it. Selfishly. 869 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 1: I understand the philosophy of the risk reward and you're 870 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: always trying to balance that, but at some point it's football, 871 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: and you know you can call plays. I told a 872 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: story about when we played the Packers one year, they 873 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,399 Speaker 1: were only gonna play one series. Aaron Rodgers came out 874 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 1: and through an eight yard pass first play the game, 875 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: and he was done. But it's something to get the 876 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: fans excited about, right And just you know, if you 877 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 1: want to go out there and have him throw three 878 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: bombs and punt, you know, let's do it. Let's just 879 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: let it fly and just you know, do what you 880 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,720 Speaker 1: gotta do if you want to try to keep him safe. 881 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: Don't have him scrambling for first downs or any of that. 882 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 1: But it'd be nice to see him out there, especially 883 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: with the audience that will be watching this game and 884 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,720 Speaker 1: working behind a new offensive line, new specifically with respects 885 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 1: to the center position. And yeah, you get your practice 886 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: here at State Farm Stadium during the week, but under 887 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: the bright lights, TV cameras, fans in attendance, it's a 888 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: game atmosphere. That relationship between Kyle Murray and Rodney Hudson, 889 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: I would think would want to see some kind of reps. Yeah, 890 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: and we've talked about it before. You know, perhaps one 891 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: of the most valuable editions, if not the most valuable, 892 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 1: is the upgrade at center, and it's nice to see 893 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 1: them work well at practice, but it'd be great to 894 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: see how it goes in a real game when live 895 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 1: bullets are flying.
