Speaker 1: Kyle Vandenbosch.

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: Welcome to the off season, gentlemen, and yes, I realize

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 4: it is week two and maybe the first full week,

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 4: but a week ago we were still coming off the

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: high of what was a solid, solid season, the feelings

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 4: that everyone had, the disappointment losing to the Seahawks. Little

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 4: do we know that that would be the final game

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: of head coach Pete Carroll, but the positive feelings of

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 4: what the season overall represented and now you get back

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 4: in the building, Paul. The coaches are back. Kudos to

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 4: head coach Jonathan Gennon giving his staff much of last

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 4: week off and now the real work begins. And as

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: we established, there are no days off here on the

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: Cardinals Red Sea Report.

28
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 5: Look, thirty one teams end with loss. That's just the

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 5: way it works. There's only one team that ends its

30
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 5: season with a victory. At least we're doing our radio

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 5: show on this Tuesday. Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 5: already canceled their radio show in Dallas, where the D

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 5: and Big D definitely did not stand for defense. So

34
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 5: there will be change, There will be blood around the league.

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 5: I know we're going to get into that. But yes,

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 5: Cardinals go into this offseason. How nice it is not

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 5: to be wondering who's the next coach, who's the GM.

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, there is a direction with the Arizona Cardinals. But Kyle,

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: it's the finality of everything. As a player, you are

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: so schedule oriented and then the season ends and Okay,

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: we're done, and I think this is the week for

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: me that I feel that, all right, you're kind of

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 4: now established a new routine in this offseason.

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, And you know it's it's different for

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 6: players particularly. You know, some of these rookies that have

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 6: been going and going and going, you know, finishing up

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 6: their college season, you know, traveling around, meeting with teams,

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 6: doing whatever, All Star game they might be in, preparing

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 6: for the draft, and then you're right into you know,

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 6: offseason work. So some of them, you know, they're definitely

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 6: going to appreciate a little bit of time off. But yeah,

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 6: I mean football, when you are in the National Football

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 6: League and you're a professional player and a professional athlete,

54
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 6: it's what you do. You know, you crave routine. I

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 6: always hated waking up with nothing to do and nowhere

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 6: to go. So you'll start to see, you know, several

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 6: plays trickle back into this building get ready to get

58
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 6: back to work, either take care of nagging injuries, get

59
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 6: their body right, start working toward next season. And you know,

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 6: that's such an encouraging thing. When you've had contributions and

61
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 6: role players all over this roster, guys have an opportunity

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 6: to take a step back, look at what they did good,

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 6: look at what things they need to work on, and

64
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 6: start to think about some of those things because you know,

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 6: I know we're going to talk about it, but this

66
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 6: roster is gonna change, it's gonna look different. But a

67
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 6: lot of the hard work, the groundwork, the change in

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 6: the culture, all those things have happened. And so you know,

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 6: these guys know what to expect, they know what the

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 6: coaches are asking of them, so they can you know,

71
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 6: once they get a little time away, once they recover

72
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 6: both mentally and physically, they could start to move forward.

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 5: Cardinals did lose this weekend, Yeah they did. They lost

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 5: more spots in the first round. Stinking CJ. Stroud, historic

75
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: rookie season. And you know what, maybe next year we'll

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: appreciate the effort and the talent of CJ.

77
00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: Stroud.

78
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: Right now, two words, brew toll because now it's twenty

79
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: fifth at best.

80
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: No lower than twenty five.

81
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so there you go. Please somebody stop somebody Lamar Jackson, MVP,

82
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 5: stop c J.

83
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: Stroud.

84
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: So we only ask for so much. Here on the

85
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: Cardinals Red Sea Report, presented by a seat Geek, your

86
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: ticket to great Seats. Yes, the off season is upon us. Yes,

87
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: there are some moves that have already been made. A

88
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: dozen players signed to future contracts and as Kyle alluded

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: to the twenty twenty three Arizona Cardinals will look well,

90
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: I should say that twenty twenty three Cardinals team will

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: not be the twenty twenty four Cardinals team. Year to year,

92
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: the roster always changes. Here's head coach Jonathan Gannon.

93
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 7: The roster will be different every year, you know what

94
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 7: I mean. And there'll be a new team, and you

95
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 7: kind of got to start from scratch, you know. And

96
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 7: that's what we're gonna do in the off season and

97
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 7: then when they get back in the building and then

98
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 7: training camp, you know all that stuff. But yeah, I

99
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 7: think we have a lot of guys that can play

100
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 7: winning fo and unpack the game in a positive way.

101
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: And those new players, whether that's free agents, whether that's

102
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: the rookies or other new faces that come in, they

103
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 4: are coming in, Kyle, As we alluded to off the top,

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: there is no GM search, There is no head coach search,

105
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: there is no staff search. The pieces are in place.

106
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: The foundation is here. So those new players that are

107
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 4: coming in, they they'll know what is expected of them

108
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: upon their arrival.

109
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 6: Right And you know, one of the things I'm excited about.

110
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 6: I think everybody, at least most Cardinals fans are really

111
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 6: pleased with the job monte Asinfort has done in his

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 6: short time here. And if you remember when he took

113
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 6: this job, he was kind of implementing a hybrid system,

114
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: you know, kind of a mixture of the old scouting

115
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 6: system and the new and he said, going into next season,

116
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 6: next offseason, he will fully be able to implement his

117
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 6: system how he wants things run and how he wants

118
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 6: a scouting department to go out and evaluate players and

119
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 6: evaluate players in the draft and free so you know,

120
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 6: you can expect everything to be even more efficient this offseason,

121
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 6: and you know, when a new staff comes in, you've

122
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 6: got a new GM. A large part of your offseason

123
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 6: and really into the season is evaluating what you have,

124
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 6: you know, and that evaluation really lasted the entire season

125
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 6: because you didn't have an opportunity to work with most

126
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 6: of these players and have an opportunity to see how,

127
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 6: you know, not just how they play on Sundays, what

128
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 6: they do on you know, Monday through Saturday to get

129
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 6: themselves ready for a game. What type of teammate are they,

130
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 6: What type of locker room guys are they? And you

131
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 6: could see, you know that the roster tinkering occur throughout

132
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 6: the course of the entire season. I mean even late

133
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 6: in the season. Players that at the beginning of the

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 6: season were counted on and dependent upon were not a

135
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 6: part of this team any longer. So you know, it's

136
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 6: it's a constant evolution. This front office and coaching staff

137
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 6: are not afraid to make changes, either with personnel or

138
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 6: just with your playing time and and your role on

139
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 6: the team. And that's that was a message that was

140
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 6: sent and it was loud and clear to the players.

141
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 6: You know, you need to buy into the direction of

142
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 6: this team. You need to be able to do the

143
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 6: things we ask you to do and contribute to this

144
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 6: vision and this culture. And if you're not, you're not

145
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 6: a part of our future.

146
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: By the way, one year ago today, the Arizona Cardinals

147
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: officially named Manti Austin for general manager of the Arizona Cardinals.

148
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: So one year on the job, and yeah, there was

149
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: pieces or they would say, we know what we want,

150
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: and I remember the ad libbing here, Paul, but that

151
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: one specific quote that was mentioned by Mani a year

152
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: ago was no egos and if you have one, well

153
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: you better check it at the door, otherwise you're just

154
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: not going to be a part of this team.

155
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 5: And it was a process. I mean, it was a

156
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 5: process the entire year. You're trying to establish what you

157
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 5: want to be and who's going to be with you

158
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: going forward, and so they identified those players. I think

159
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 5: you can sort of reverse engineer as to who they

160
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: identified as part of the problem instead of the solution

161
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 5: based on who was let go before and during the season.

162
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 5: But now you have a real good idea. Okay, here's

163
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 5: what our roster consists of. Here's what we need as

164
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 5: opposed to a year ago where there's a lot of

165
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 5: discovery going on by the new decision makers and to

166
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 5: nail last year's draft class on short notice, really trying

167
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 5: to implement, you know, the old system, like Kyle said,

168
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 5: with the new But now you have your system in place.

169
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 5: I'm real curious to see, especially with eleven draft picks.

170
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: I mean, because they got return on investment in every

171
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: single round this year and they led the NFL and

172
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 5: games started by rookies and snaps played by rookies. That's

173
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: all going to pay off. But I'm real curious as

174
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: to Okay, who do they identify this year when they

175
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 5: had so much success last year on short notice.

176
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: And there will be expectations upon the twenty twenty four

177
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals. Who those players that are brought in, whether

178
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 4: again free agency, the draft, or other means, maybe even

179
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 4: a trade or two. But that twenty two twenty four roster,

180
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 4: according to the head coach, yeah, they'll know what's expected.

181
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 7: Who's ever back here in twenty twenty four? They understand

182
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 7: what's expected and how we operate. And if they're back here,

183
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 7: I feel really comfortable myself and money, and the coaching

184
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 7: staff feels really comfortable about their roles. But I always say,

185
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 7: like the price of admission is team and then you.

186
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 7: And if they're back here in twenty four, they have that.

187
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 4: Who will be back? The Arizona Cardinals have seventeen unrestricted

188
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 4: free agents. By comparison, a year ago, the Cardinals had

189
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: thirty unrestricted free agents. But there are a handful of

190
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: players that I would like to see this team at

191
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: least entertain bringing back. And I know a lot of

192
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 4: it is opportunity and of course the almighty dollar. But

193
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 4: looking at the list that we have in front of us, Kyle,

194
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: is there someone on offense, defense, or dare I say

195
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: even special teams that you would like to see this

196
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 4: team bring back either right now or wait in until

197
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: mid March when the free agency period begins, and then

198
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: you kind of figure out, if you're that player, what's

199
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: my value around the league?

200
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you look, you know, starting with defense,

201
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 6: I think you got to look at what is the

202
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 6: biggest need and where's the cover the most empty? You know,

203
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 6: I think when healthy, L J. Collier and Carlos Watkins

204
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 6: were key contributors to that defensive front. To me, that's where,

205
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 6: particularly on defense, the front and the cornerback position are

206
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 6: the biggest areas of need, and you don't want to

207
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 6: go into the offseason with the cover completely empty.

208
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 3: You need to bring back guys.

209
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 6: That know the system, that showed that they could play

210
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 6: in this system, that were effective. While they may not

211
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 6: be necessarily game changers, they are valuable members and they

212
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 6: played through a lot this year. And again, you know,

213
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 6: I don't want to dismiss any of these players because

214
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 6: one of the things I loved about this team and

215
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 6: the way this season ended is everybody battled to the

216
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 6: very end, even when they had nothing to play for

217
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 6: and the chips were against them. You know, injuries at

218
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 6: key positions, and and you know, just a lot of

219
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 6: on the field adversity. You know, there wasn't the off

220
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 6: the field diversity this year. Is a lot on the

221
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 6: field and so these guys proved that they are warriors

222
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 6: and they will battle. So I'm not gonna discount anybody,

223
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 6: but I think the defensive front will be key to

224
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 6: have depth because of the number of injuries this year.

225
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 6: On offense, you know, again, Hollywood Brown did not get

226
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 6: to have the season he wanted to have because of

227
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 6: injury or because of lack of chemistry. You know, it

228
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 6: took him. It seems like he didn't necessarily fit with

229
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 6: this offense was looking for, particularly early in the season.

230
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 6: But we all know what he can do. We know

231
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 6: the type of player he can be, win healthy. So

232
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 6: you know, I think that you know, offensively, this team

233
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 6: has the potential to be an offensive juggernaut next year.

234
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 6: Win three of your last four games against playoff either

235
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 6: playoff teams or teams battling for playoff position. They have

236
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 6: over four hundred yards offense and over two hundred yards

237
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 6: rushing and through their last four games, so this offense

238
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 6: was peaking at the end of the season, and then

239
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: you know, I think you mentioned special teams. Blake Gillikan

240
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 6: was a fine for this team. He's got a live leg,

241
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 6: he can you know. He did a fantastic job punting

242
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 6: for this team this year. So I would think that

243
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 6: if you can get him back at the right price,

244
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 6: I would bring him as well.

245
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,359
Speaker 4: I know Paully always pays particular attention to the specialists,

246
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: i e. The punter, But gillikin a franchise record fifty

247
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: point six yard average and his nets just under forty

248
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: four yards was top ten in the league. So yeah,

249
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: special teams, Paul, we only talk about it when things

250
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: go wrong. How about when things go right, i e.

251
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: The punter.

252
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 5: And did you name Aaron Brewer once all season long?

253
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 8: No?

254
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: You did not.

255
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 5: So that's a really good reflection on your long snapper, right.

256
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 5: It's sort of like the official when you don't name him,

257
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 5: then guess what he's doing an excellent job. So I'm

258
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 5: all about both those guys coming back.

259
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: Now.

260
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 5: As for Hollywood Brown, you know my affinity for Hollywood Brown.

261
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 5: And let's face it, this offense suffered from the lack

262
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 5: of big play, the big strike, the three play drive.

263
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 5: They didn't have very many of those right, a three

264
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 5: play touchdown drive and so Hollywood Brown he just keeps

265
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 5: a defense, honest, and they did not maximize his production.

266
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 5: What he put on film was a lot different than

267
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: when he put onto the box score. So if you

268
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: can get something done, even a one year proved deal,

269
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 5: I I'm all about bringing Hollywood Brown back. And in

270
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 5: addition to the d line, because I agree with Kyle

271
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 5: on that one, I'll throw in Antonio Hamilton. You're really

272
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 5: thin at corner and is he one or two on

273
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 5: this team? No, but a third or fourth corner, and

274
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 5: he has good size and his ability to play inside

275
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 5: and play the nickel. I think he's a really versatile guy.

276
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 5: Antonio Hamilton will not get you beat graydon Zone and

277
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 5: one of those team leaders. I would identify him as

278
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: part of the solution.

279
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 4: You need a veteran in that room as far as

280
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: cornerback is concerned, especially if there's a youth movement this

281
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: offseason at that position. But again, it all comes down

282
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: to the leadership of the general manager, the head coach.

283
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: Something Kyler Murray mentioned post game after a week eighteen.

284
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 9: It's like refreshing, you know, to have you know, guys

285
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 9: upstairs that you know, believe in it and really speak

286
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 9: to it and hold everybody accountable. You know, it trickles down,

287
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 9: you know, starts at the top.

288
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 10: You know.

289
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 9: I think every you know, great organization business understand you know,

290
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 9: it starts at the top, and the guys really believe

291
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 9: in what they'reppreciate. You know, I'm very confident in what

292
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 9: we got going.

293
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: How key is that, Kyle, You've been in that locker

294
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: room as far as what is being told to you,

295
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: whether that's the head coach or the general manager, that

296
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: connection between front office, coaching staff and yeah, the quarterback

297
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 4: may be a little bit different than some of the

298
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: other players on the roster, but that feeling in the

299
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: locker room knowing that, Okay, we've got our leaders. I

300
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: trust what they're going to do this offseason and put

301
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 4: us in a better position than we were a year ago.

302
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 11: Yeah.

303
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing that both mantiasa Ford and

304
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 6: Jonathan Gannon did from the beginning was layout expectations. This

305
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 6: is what we expect from these players, and they themselves

306
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 6: lived it. And you know, when when a head coach

307
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 6: says one thing but then lets things slide on the

308
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 6: practice field, let's things slide in the meeting room. Players

309
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 6: don't believe in that head coach. And you know, Jonathan

310
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 6: Gannet to me pushed all the right buttons both with

311
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray and this entire roster, and you know, just

312
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 6: developing relationships, like there's a trust there between him and

313
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 6: the players, and you know with that trust also comes,

314
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 6: you know, consequences at times, like you as a player,

315
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 6: if you don't hold up your end of the deal,

316
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 6: if you can't be trusted by the coach, then you know,

317
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 6: tough decisions have to be made. But you know, belief,

318
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 6: and this belief is not just in that locker room.

319
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 6: I think this belief again is with the Arizona Cardinals

320
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 6: fan base and and it provides us excitement going into

321
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 6: next season. But you know, the three biggest things when

322
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 6: you are a team that's rebuilding and trying to establish

323
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 6: a culture is you've got the right guy, you know,

324
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 6: making the decisions in the GM. You've got the right

325
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 6: guy at head coach leading this team, and you have

326
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 6: the right guy under center. And I think you know,

327
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 6: for the first time in a long time, the fans

328
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 6: believe in all three and the direction that this team

329
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 6: is going.

330
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing, it was a physical team right

331
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 5: when the Steelers after that loss at home in December, say, man,

332
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: we got our bleeps kicked. When you had a team

333
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 5: that other than the Rams loss, that was the only

334
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: lackluster game. Otherwise, you had a team that would consistently

335
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 5: come back from halftime, and you had.

336
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 3: A team that was smart with the football.

337
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: Only five teams had fewer turnovers this year than the

338
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals, and that's playing different quarterbacks over the course

339
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 5: of the season. So those winning stats were there, that

340
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 5: mentality and formula for a winning team was there.

341
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: A lot to look forward to, and yes, a lot

342
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 4: of work that needs to be done this offseason. Again,

343
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: free agency comes first and then the drafts in April.

344
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: Speaking of the draft, the Cardinals in twenty twenty three,

345
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: of those first year players who stepped up, who do

346
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: we want to see step up moving forward? Maybe a

347
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: part of this future moving forward. This is the Arizona

348
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 4: Cardinals radio network.

349
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: Snap to Murray, Let's coming buried backing up close into

350
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: the end zone, the middle of the end zone, pulled

351
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: in by Wilson for a touchdown.

352
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 9: I told you all from day one, you know, I

353
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 9: watched his Senior Bowl, and I was like, yeah, that

354
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 9: kid knows, you know, he knows what he's doing. I

355
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 9: could tell, you know. And then just obviously he had

356
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 9: zero catches two weeks in a row, and that's not

357
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 9: you know again, they're not a real representation of you

358
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 9: know what I think we could be. Now we'll get

359
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 9: a full off season on our bilt. You know, I

360
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 9: think next year, you know, Michael have a big year.

361
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 4: Had a big year his first season, but it can

362
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 4: get even better in year two. They say your biggest

363
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 4: improvements from year one to year two. Jonathan Gannon made

364
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 4: that mention at his year end presser one week ago.

365
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 4: And I pose that question to you, Kyle. You played

366
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 4: the game you had that year one to year two jump.

367
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you have to put in the work.

368
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 4: But as you mentioned, as we began here on the

369
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: Cardinals Red Seat Report presented by seat gek your Ticket

370
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 4: the Great Seats, these rookies, these first year players have

371
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: been going non stop since their final year in college.

372
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 4: So now you get a break and really dive into

373
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: the playbook and what you specifically need to do, whether

374
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 4: that's on offense, defense, or specialties.

375
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the big thing is you have

376
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 6: a full off season to work on your NFL craft.

377
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 6: You know, none of these rookies were given that benefit.

378
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 6: They were trying to find a team. They were, you know,

379
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 6: getting assimilated into a new city, learning a new playbook,

380
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 6: learning how the NFL game works, and what it takes

381
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 6: both mentally and physically to prepare your body and mind

382
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 6: each week, you know, being thrown a new game plan

383
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 6: each and every week and having to adjust what you do. Again,

384
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 6: there's no better teacher of football than your own film.

385
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 6: And that's the benefit of having, you know, not just

386
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 6: for Michael Wilson, but an entire rookie class that was

387
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 6: counted on so often that was used throughout the course

388
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 6: of this season. They've got live game reps. They can

389
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 6: go back and watch and learn and see what their

390
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 6: deficiencies are, what things they can do to improve their game.

391
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 6: And you know, again, I know we talked about this

392
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 6: way back after the draft. It seems like every rookie

393
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 6: that they brought in their students of the game.

394
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: They want to get better.

395
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 6: They want to learn from both their peers and the

396
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 6: veterans and learn from their own game film. And I

397
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 6: think that that's going to be the benefit. I mean, look,

398
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 6: you know, Michael Wilson at times this season flashed like

399
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 6: he could be, you know, either a fringe number one

400
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 6: or a number two receiver on this team, making big plays,

401
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 6: having strong hands, running good routes. And you know, the

402
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 6: way he finished the season gives him that ultra confidence

403
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 6: entering an off season. So you know, I like Kyler

404
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 6: Murray and like a lot of Cardinals fans, think he's

405
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 6: going to make that big jump because it is tough

406
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 6: at any position. It's tough to jump in your rookie

407
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 6: season and just step in and be a playmaker and

408
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 6: to be somebody that an offense can count on every

409
00:19:59,320 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 6: single week.

410
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: Wilson finished fourth on the team interceptions, third in receiving yards,

411
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 4: led the team with almost fifteen yards a catch. And

412
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 4: that's a number, Paul that when you have that height

413
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 4: on the outside and you can beat your guy off

414
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, you don't need to have that

415
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 4: four to four speed, four to three speed. Larry Fitzgerald

416
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: didn't do it, but he had great technique and was

417
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 4: able to outjump defenders. I think Michael Wilson, again, I'm

418
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 4: not comparison comparing Wilson with fits, but that playmaker on

419
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 4: the outside. Maybe there's another one that gets added this offseason,

420
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 4: but someone like that that can really, to your point,

421
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 4: make those shorter scoring drives to where you don't have

422
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 4: to go eight, nine, ten plays before you get into.

423
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 5: The end zone and you know what you're targeting and

424
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 5: out you know down the field and just the size

425
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 5: to be able to reel it in on the sideline.

426
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 5: You know whether it's a fade, whether it's a back shoulder.

427
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 5: Larry was a master and obviously getting his body between

428
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 5: the defender and the football. Michael Wilson has that ability

429
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 5: as that size. I mean, I was watching pookin Nakua

430
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 5: right in the playoff game. What a phenomenal rookie season

431
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 5: for a fifth round pick, and I'm thinking to myself,

432
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 5: Michael Wilson. Michael Wilson has the same exact Measurables has

433
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 5: those same strong hands. If you can get a full

434
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 5: year healthy Michael Wilson and you get a Kyler Murray

435
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 5: and get them in sync like they were in the

436
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 5: last couple of games, you know, Matthew Stafford delivering the

437
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 5: ball in sync on the money, and you can get

438
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 5: some other threats out there on offensive balanced run game.

439
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 5: I easily can see Michael Wilson have at a thousand

440
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 5: yard receiving season next year. I'm not sure he's gonna

441
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 5: replicate the numbers of a Pooka Nakua, but I mean

442
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 5: he has that brand of game, that physical. I'm breaking

443
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 5: the first arm tackle. These corners aren't gonna tackle me.

444
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 5: You're gonna need two or three of them. That's what

445
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 5: I see in his future.

446
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: And he'll put in the work because he is that

447
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: type of person, because he wants to be that type

448
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 4: of player. Here is Michael Wilson the day after the

449
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 4: season talking about his role not only for himself but

450
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 4: for the Arizona Cardinals.

451
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 8: I feel extremely responsible to play at a high level

452
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 8: for him because I'm playing for his legacy right being

453
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 8: a Heisman Trophy winner, being number one pig, being franchise quarterback,

454
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 8: he signed a big contract. He's got a lot of responsibility,

455
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 8: and I want to make sure I'm playing at a

456
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 8: high level to play a positive role in his story.

457
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: Wilson there talking about Kyler Murray and again, you have

458
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: to have your quarterback in place, and everyone else play

459
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 4: with the quarterback and have players understand their own role

460
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: within that offensive system. There you have Michael Wilson talking about, Yeah,

461
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 4: it's about the quarterback because how successful he is is

462
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 4: how successful we all are.

463
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 5: And you have to earn your quarterbacks trust. And I

464
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 5: think that moment came in an area of adversity on

465
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 5: the ninety nine yard pick six at Philly, because in

466
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 5: that same interview, Michael Wilson went on to say that

467
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 5: it was critical for him to hear from Kyler Murray

468
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 5: after the game. You know, okay, you know I trusted you.

469
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 5: He thanked him for that, he sent him a text

470
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 5: message because he continued go his way with targets the

471
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 5: rest of that game. And then you saw the way

472
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 5: the two of them were able to finish the last

473
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 5: three halves of the season, and that really was a

474
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 5: pivotal turning point I think in the relationship between quarterback

475
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 5: and receiver, and Michael Wilson took a lot of the blame.

476
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 5: He said, you know what, I wasn't doing enough to

477
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 5: deliver for my franchise quarterback. I had to be better,

478
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 5: and you saw the difference down the stretch.

479
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 4: Wilson started twelve games, second most in that twenty twenty

480
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 4: three rookie class, behind only Paris Johnson, who started every

481
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 4: single game, played every single snap as a right tackle.

482
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 4: Question now is, with DJ Humphreys going down to an

483
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 4: ACL injury and he's to have surgery either this month

484
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: or next month, how long is Humphrey's going to be

485
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 4: out there's an opening at left tackle. Paris Johnson again

486
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: day after the season, asked about which side of the

487
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 4: ball he might be playing next season.

488
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 11: I just want to be a part of the best

489
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 11: five and where I'm at on the line, it's dependent

490
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 11: on that. But definitely this offseason I'm going to continue

491
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 11: to train both sides just to be ready, you know,

492
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 11: so what my numbers called, if it's called to go

493
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 11: to left, I can be able to step right in.

494
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 11: So I'm definitely gonna take this offseason and work on

495
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 11: both sides.

496
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 4: You hear Paris Johnson, You hear Michael Wilson again goes

497
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 4: back to Monti Austin fort a year ago today saying

498
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 4: there will be no egos. It's the head coach saying

499
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 4: it's team before me. Well, that's exactly what we just

500
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 4: heard from both Paris and Michael.

501
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, both selfless players and again I think that epitomizes

502
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 6: this rookie class. You know, they both could. He knows

503
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 6: most people know left tackles. You know, when their second

504
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 6: contract comes around, you're gonna get paid a lot more

505
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 6: money than a right tackle. However, you know, the game

506
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 6: has changed a lot. When I played, the best pass

507
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 6: rusher was always on the left, the quarterbacks blind side,

508
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 6: and the best pass protector was always on the right,

509
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, And the best pass protecting offensive lineman was

510
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 6: always your left tackle. That's not the case anymore. When

511
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 6: there's an elite pass rusher, teams put him everywhere on

512
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 6: the football field, all across the offensive line, trying to

513
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 6: take advantage of matchups, trying to take advantage of you know,

514
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 6: where the quarterbacks windows are. There's a lot more that

515
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: goes into it. And you know, to me, the biggest thing,

516
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 6: I think we all knew the type of athlete he was,

517
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 6: with his measurables, with his arm length, with his athleticism,

518
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 6: with his light feet, that he could be really good

519
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 6: in in pass pro. To me, I was really impressed

520
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 6: with how well he did in the run game this year,

521
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 6: moving people off the line of scrimmage. And you know

522
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 6: that's that's what you look for most of the times

523
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: in a right tackle, somebody that you can trust to

524
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 6: take care of that defensive end, to double team that

525
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 6: dominant three technique that you're going up against.

526
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: He's he's a complete player, so he could.

527
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 6: I mean he has and can play anywhere on that

528
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 6: offensive line. But you do love just you know that

529
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 6: selflessness team first saying I will do and I will

530
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 6: play wherever the coaches ask me to play, and whatever

531
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 6: helps his team win ball games.

532
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 5: His final season Ohio State, he started the whole year

533
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: at left tackle and was mid season or so I

534
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 5: asked him in the locker room because there was a

535
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 5: moment where DJ Humphreys got nicked up, and I said,

536
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 5: what sort of challenge would it be for you mid

537
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 5: season to go back to left tackle? And he said,

538
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 5: one practice, give me one practice, just to get the

539
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 5: footwork down again. So he's a guy who's played on

540
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 5: either side during his college career. He's fully confident if asked,

541
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 5: he'd be able to do it. Let's be honest, you're

542
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 5: the six pick overall, that should be a realistic expectation

543
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 5: to play left tackle if required. But to Kyle's point,

544
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 5: think of all the guys who came off the right

545
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 5: side of the old line. This year, he got almost

546
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 5: a full game of TJ. Watt Montes sweat. Aaron Donald

547
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 5: specifically came over him a lot, just because he was

548
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 5: a rookie in ninety nine, was going to test him.

549
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 5: Nick Bosa came to that side a lot. So today's

550
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 5: premiere pass rushers, Michael Parsons all over the front. So

551
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 5: he saw a lot of dudes, a lot of the

552
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 5: elite guys, and a lot of them lined up right

553
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 5: over him at right tackle.

554
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 4: Speaking of pass rush, the one rookie that I would

555
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 4: love to see make that jump from year one to

556
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: year two. If you're gonna ask me about that twenty

557
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: twenty three rookie draft class, it's b j O Julari.

558
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 4: He's the only one that did not start. John Gains

559
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 4: was on ir all season long. But Oji, can he

560
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 4: make that jump and be that pass rusher. He doesn't

561
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 4: need double digit sacks, but we talk about the lack

562
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 4: of a pass rush, especially how the season ended. But

563
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: can he affect the quarterback and make them turn some

564
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: of those plays into negative plays for this Cardinals defense?

565
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely, I think just watching him play He's got

566
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 6: a tremendous get off. He's got a tremendous feel for

567
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 6: the game. He can really bend in corner. You know,

568
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 6: I to me. In order for him to get on

569
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 6: the field more and being more of an every downplayer,

570
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 6: he does need to you know, probably put on you know,

571
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 6: five ten pounds and be more stout in the run game.

572
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 6: But yeah, he not only can, but he needs to.

573
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 6: This is another player that because of injury, missed most

574
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 6: of the offseason and missed training camp and you know,

575
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 6: didn't get an opportunity to perfect his craft, did get

576
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 6: an opportunity to work on the things that the coaches

577
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 6: were asking him to work on until this regular season

578
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 6: hit and he was kind of thrown into the mix.

579
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 6: So I'm excited to see what he can do with

580
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 6: a full offseason of work with this coaching staff.

581
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 4: Eleven different rookies started at least one game for the

582
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 4: Cardinals in twenty twenty three. Sixty four starts by rookies,

583
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 4: whether that's the draft class or players who went undrafted

584
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 4: or acclaimed in the case is Darling Thomas and Elijah Higgins.

585
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: And I know a lot of fans don't want to

586
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 5: hear it because they might want Marvin Harrison Junior.

587
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: You need to get to the quarterback.

588
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: Do you see what.

589
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 5: Happened in the Lion's playoff game when the Rams did

590
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 5: not pressure Jared Goff, he went twenty two or twenty two.

591
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: You gotta get to the quarterback. This team had one

592
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 5: sack in the final six games, and for those six games,

593
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 5: they had two quarterback hits or fewer. It's vital imperative.

594
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 5: And so is that guy there at four. If not

595
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 5: trade down and maximize the numbers, we'll see what they do.

596
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 4: By the way, nice segue there, Paul, because we're gonna

597
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 4: talk about the playoffs as we continue here. And is

598
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by seat Geek Your tickets,

599
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: great seats here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

600
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: Jordan Love prox to his left knee. That'll do it.

601
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 10: The Green Bay Packers are the first seventh seed ever

602
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 10: to win a playoff game.

603
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: They dominate in Dallas.

604
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 10: They end the Cowboys season with a forty eight to

605
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 10: thirty two win.

606
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: The Green Bay Packers.

607
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 10: We'll go to San Francisco and take on the forty

608
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 10: nine Ers in the divisional round next week and for Dallas,

609
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 10: another heartbreaking into a season the Cowboys won the NFCS,

610
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 10: came in with high hopes.

611
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: Those hopes are dashed.

612
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 10: The Packers in their sixteen game home winning streak with

613
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 10: a sixteen point win, and Free Bay plays on at

614
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 10: the Cowboys are going home.

615
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 4: Cowboys the first team to win at least twelve games

616
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 4: in three straight playoff seasons without making a conference title game. Heck,

617
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: they didn't even get out of Super wild Card Weekend,

618
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 4: losing to the Packers. Ryan Radke on Westwood One with

619
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: the final call of a forty eight to thirty two

620
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 4: green Bay win, and really, Kyle was not even that close.

621
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 4: The Packers dominated. It was twenty seven to seven at

622
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: half time, thirty four to ten midway through the third quarter.

623
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 4: They pulled most of their offensive starters, had to bring

624
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 4: them back just to make sure it didn't get too

625
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: much closer than that. But you talk about a beatdown

626
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 4: in Dallas, that was impressive by Green Bay.

627
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 11: Yeah.

628
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 6: I think to me, that's the biggest surprise of Super

629
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 6: Wildcard Weekend was that game and how quickly it just

630
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 6: got out of control. I mean, is every time I

631
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 6: looked up, you know, the Packers had another touchdown. And

632
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 6: you know I had heard, and be honest with you,

633
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 6: iden watched much Packers football this year, if I had

634
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 6: heard how well Jordan Love was playing. And you know,

635
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 6: they didn't miss Aaron Rodgers and he's starting to look

636
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 6: like the future of the franchise. But he really did.

637
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 6: And for a young player, relatively inexperienced to go out

638
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 6: there in his first playoff game to do the things

639
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 6: he did, to throw the ball the way he did,

640
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 6: but more importantly, to have the poise that he had

641
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 6: throughout that game throwing three touchdowns. Aaron Jones ran for

642
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 6: three touchdowns, and you know, the Packers look like a

643
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 6: team that's gonna, you know, be tough to beat in

644
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 6: this playoffs. I mean, with their confidence going to Dallas. Now,

645
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 6: I understand next up they gotta go to San fran

646
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 6: and that's gonna be a tall task for him. But

647
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 6: you know, I was thoroughly impressed with the Green Bay Packers,

648
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 6: and I didn't expect to be impressed. I expect Dallas

649
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 6: to win the game easily. And you know, a tremendous

650
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 6: credit to that team and that coaching staff.

651
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 5: It's the beauty of the NFL playoffs, right how unpredictable

652
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: it can be. Five of the six home teams won,

653
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 5: and the only home team that didn't had won sixteen

654
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 5: straight at home.

655
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: That was Dallas.

656
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 5: They got out hit, they got out coached. I don't

657
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: know what was going on was ceedee lamb? I mean,

658
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 5: did his dog die before the game? He looked completely

659
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 5: out of sorts. And then you know, hey, if you

660
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 5: want to throw the whole dan Quinn, he's got his

661
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 5: name in about five different head coaching hats m did

662
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 5: that impact his preparation? We've heard that narrative before, a

663
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator who's in play for a head coaching gig

664
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, the defense doesn't look

665
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 5: game ready. Yeah, Dallas had some serious issues, but man,

666
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 5: they just got out physical in so many different ways.

667
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 5: And to have all that talent and get so little

668
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 5: in return at home, you got to figure that there

669
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 5: will be blood in Dallas.

670
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

671
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 4: Just what kind of changes will happen with the Cowboys,

672
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 4: whether that's on the coaching staff, So the roster decisions

673
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: that need to be made, But again tip the cap

674
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: to the Packers who will play the forty nine ers

675
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 4: in San Francisco. That is the night game on Saturday,

676
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 4: jan You were a twentieth on Fox. The other NFC

677
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 4: game on Sunday will have Tampa Bay at Detroit. The

678
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 4: Buccaneers beat the Eagles thirty two to nine. The Lions

679
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 4: beat the Rams twenty four to twenty three. Great game

680
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 4: between the Lions and Rams, Buccaneers and the Eagles again

681
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 4: the free fall for Philadelphia. And how about this, Paul.

682
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 4: It reminds me of the twenty twenty one Cardinals who

683
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 4: started ten and two, lost four of five and were

684
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 4: one and done in the playoffs. Eagles started ten and one,

685
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 4: lost five of six, one and done in the playoffs.

686
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, first off, as for Tampa, you know,

687
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: when do you bet on Baker Mayfield? When no one's

688
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 5: betting on Baker Mayfield. That's when he's at his best,

689
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 5: right when no one gives him a chance. He just

690
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 5: has that ability to rally in the face of all

691
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: the doubters and haters out there. But the Eagles, something

692
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 5: is seriously wrong. Looked to me like the Eagles defense

693
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 5: just decided to use the change of defensive coordinator as

694
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 5: an excuse to mail In the rest of the year,

695
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 5: they played with zero and two density. I mean that

696
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 5: tackling was utterly atrocious in that game. How many drop

697
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 5: balls in that game the Eagles. Something is seriously wrong

698
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 5: from the inside out. And now you lost Jason Kelce,

699
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 5: you know, the heartbeat of that offensive line, the best

700
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 5: offensive line in the game. And so yeah, the Eagles

701
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 5: have some serious decisions to make going forward.

702
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 4: Of course, the game of the weekend, at least for me, Kyle,

703
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 4: was the Lions and Rams and just the storylines between

704
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 4: the two quarterbacks. Detroit's first playoff win in more than

705
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 4: thirty years. And now you've got a pair of former

706
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 4: number one overall picks who were discarded by the teams

707
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 4: that selected them meeting next Sunday in golf and Baker Mayfield.

708
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 4: But either one Lions, Rams, Buccaneers Eagles. What stood out

709
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 4: to you more than another?

710
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 6: Well, I love that Detroit game. You know, I played

711
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 6: there in my last three years in the league. I

712
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 6: was fortunate that two of those years we went to

713
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 6: the playoffs. And you know, coach was my court coach

714
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 6: at the time, and he's talked about this city is

715
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 6: a sleeping giant, Like if we can win a playoff game,

716
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 6: this city is gonna go nuts. And you saw that.

717
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 6: You saw how crazy those fans were, how much they

718
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 6: loved being there, having a home game and being there

719
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 6: supporting the team. That environment was just wild, and the

720
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 6: and the decibel levels from those fans. I mean, I

721
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 6: don't know how the players could hear after that. I'm

722
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 6: just happy for the team, happy for the city of Detroit, who,

723
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 6: you know, along suffering franchise, who have a real opportunity

724
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 6: to continue to win next week having another home game.

725
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 6: But it was a real battle. You know, it was

726
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 6: to me, probably the most entertaining game to watch this weekend.

727
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 6: I think both quarterbacks played really well in that game.

728
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 6: It's just, you know, Stafford just came up a little

729
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 6: bit short. But he himself, you know, he's he's a

730
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 6: former teammate of mine. Showed a lot of toughness, you know,

731
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 6: had a hand injury early in that game, got hit

732
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 6: a little bit, and continued to go out there and

733
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 6: play and make plays for his team. But you know,

734
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 6: I honestly, just looking at the Lions and how far

735
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 6: they are along in their rebuild, it reminds me a

736
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 6: lot of the Cardinals. And I know Paul's talked about

737
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 6: this in the past, but that was The first thing

738
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 6: Dan Campbell did when he took that job would start

739
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 6: changing the culture and find the players that fit his culture.

740
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 6: And I feel like that's exactly where the Cardinals are

741
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 6: and you can expect, at least I expect the same

742
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 6: type of turnaround with this team.

743
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 5: You hope the Lions are a case study for Jonathan

744
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 5: Gannon and the Cardinals. Right what Dan Campbell has done.

745
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 5: They won three games their first year. They started the

746
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 5: second year one and six. That was last season, and

747
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 5: then it turned they won out almost and then they

748
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 5: beat the Packers and knocked him out of the playoffs.

749
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 5: Then last season, and then look at them this year

750
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 5: as a number two seed, they just won. Think about this,

751
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 5: their second playoff win is a franchise since nineteen fifty seven.

752
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 5: So to Kyle's point, when I moved to Chicago, everyone said, yeah,

753
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 5: the Cubs can win, the Bulls can win, the Blackhawks,

754
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 5: but if the Bears win, this is a Bears town.

755
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 5: Same with Detroit. You've seen the Tigers and the Pistons

756
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 5: and the Red Wings all win titles. If the Lions

757
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 5: can make a run to a Super Bowl, I mean

758
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 5: the three to one three the d as Eminem says

759
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 5: will come unglued. Lions get another home playoff game on Sunday.

760
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 4: They'll host the Buccaneers. That is the first game on

761
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 4: that Sunday. By the way, Lions beat the Bucks in

762
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 4: Week six, so there is some history between those two teams.

763
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 4: Although Tampa Bay playing much better now than they were

764
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 4: middle of the season. We'll look at the AFC playoff

765
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 4: picture next here on the Arizona Cardinals radio network.

766
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 3: That should do it.

767
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: Five seconds left, Snowballs complying have a Buffalo Bells. Thanks

768
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: to a thirty one to seventeen victory over the Steelers

769
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: will return to the AFC Divisional Round, where next week

770
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: they'll take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

771
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 10: Here at home for homes Allen again right here in Buffalo.

772
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 3: That's what you want.

773
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 6: Two of the best quarterbacks battling it out the division.

774
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: Round in this atmosphere. Oh, it's gonna be rock Yeah.

775
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 4: The first two Mahomes Allen meetings happened at Arrowhead. Next

776
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 4: Sunday it will be in Buffalo. Tom McCarthy Tony Bisselli

777
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: on Westwood one the final call as the Bills beat

778
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 4: the Steelers thirty one seventeen, a game that was postponed

779
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 4: from Sunday, and I may or may not have texted

780
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 4: Paul Calvic Sunday afternoon saying, hey, look, this is what's

781
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 4: going on in Buffalo. Thankfully the game is not gonna

782
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 4: be played today, although I'll say this, Cardinals do go

783
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 4: to Buffalo next season. Paul, you better hope it's not

784
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 4: a game in December.

785
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 5: You got Buffalo, you got Lambeau, you got a game

786
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 5: in Miami next year. So yeah, let's hope they're in

787
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 5: the proper months. Okay, so you have to deal with

788
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 5: all that. I mean, I give it up to Bills

789
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 5: fans because it was like an hour before kickoff and

790
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,479
Speaker 5: it appeared like two thirds of the stadium was still

791
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: filled complete with snow. How do you even get to

792
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 5: your seat? How do you even find your seat? Yet

793
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 5: they made it happen. I guess almost all the fans

794
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 5: were standing to start the game because the seats were

795
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 5: still filled with snow. And then they started throwing it

796
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 5: like confetti and celebrating as they went out there. And

797
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 5: then you know, God helped the Steelers fans who actually

798
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 5: made the trek to Buffalo because apparently they were drilled

799
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 5: from behind by an endless supply of snowballs, all the

800
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 5: Steeler fans who were in attendance.

801
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 4: The field was perfect, the stands, though covered with snow,

802
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 4: and then you have the Chiefs beeeding the Dolphins twenty

803
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: six to seven. It was minus four at kick cooff,

804
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 4: the fourth coldest came in NFL history. My guess is, Kyle,

805
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 4: if you had to choose whether you wanted to play

806
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 4: in snow or just frigid temperatures, you would choose play

807
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 4: in the snow.

808
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: Oh.

809
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Snow games are kind of fun unless the footing

810
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 6: is so bad you can't You're slipping and falling on

811
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 6: your face the whole time. But yeah, I mean again,

812
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 6: I've talked about this before. The longer I went in

813
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 6: my career, I hated those cold games. I don't know

814
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 6: if my blood thinned out or what, but it was

815
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 6: it was difficult. I I was one of those guys

816
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 6: through ten years would not wear sleeves just to show

817
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 6: how tough I was. And then you know, my last

818
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 6: couple of years, it was all about comfort and not

819
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 6: being freezing out there. So but yeah, I mean it

820
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 6: was you know that Chiefs game, It just Mike McDaniel

821
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 6: have you ever seen anybody look so cold in your life,

822
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 6: Like his face was red and yellow at the same time.

823
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 6: And I don't I don't know how. It just looked

824
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 6: absolutely miserable. And it's it's it's a true advantage.

825
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 3: I mean.

826
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 6: And and again, you know, I know we're talking playoffs.

827
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 6: I look back at the Cardinals and the way they

828
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 6: played late in the season, both in Pittsburgh and Philly.

829
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 6: That's playoff football. You're gonna play games in in cold weather,

830
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 6: in in tough environments, and I think that that's going

831
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 6: to serve them well going forward.

832
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 5: And look, I know you're gonna call me Paully pencil neck,

833
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 5: but I hate to see games that are decided by

834
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 5: such a large margin by the weather itself, by the condition.

835
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 4: So that's home field advantage, I get it.

836
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 5: But I mean it's not even it's survival versus football

837
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 5: when you come from a warm weather city and you

838
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 5: go into that sort of atmosphere. I told this story

839
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 5: and I'll tell it again real quick. The Cardinals two

840
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 5: thousand and eight snow game at New England. The assistance

841
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 5: for New England said after the game, we knew we

842
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 5: were gonna win, and we're gonna kill you, guys, because

843
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 5: right before kickoff, your entire team was in front of

844
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 5: the heat blower. We didn't have a single player in

845
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 5: front of our heat blowers because they're all used to

846
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 5: the conditions. I get it, it's home field. I just

847
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 5: you know, to see the way then to see like

848
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes have his own heat locker for his helmet.

849
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 5: That was an interesting report. So that's where you need

850
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 5: sideline reporters. Okay, he just didn't have the high hat

851
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 5: on the back of the bench where you put your helmet.

852
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 5: He had his own little heat locker. Now, it didn't

853
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 5: help him and his helmet ended up breaking during that game,

854
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 5: but it is. It is a true home field advantage.

855
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 5: There's no doubt about it.

856
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 4: Hey, if the Dolphins are upset, there's an easy solution.

857
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: I get it.

858
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 4: Win more games to where you're hosting a playoff game.

859
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 4: Now I understand the Blizzard conditions. You can't play because

860
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 4: that was a that was a travel issue for fans,

861
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 4: emergency vehicles, and the teams themselves. But there was nothing

862
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 4: wrong with playing. Although again win Chill minus twenty seven

863
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 4: has that Chiefs Dolphins game was kicked off on Saturday

864
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 4: night and again Chiefs and Bills next Sunday, January twenty first,

865
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 4: at four thirty Arizona time. The other AFC game we

866
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 4: kind of alluded to it earlier here on the Arizona

867
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 4: Cardinals radio network, and that was the Texans beating the

868
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 4: Browns forty five to fourteen. Texans will now face the Ravens.

869
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 4: Ravens beat the Texans all the way back in Week

870
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 4: one twenty five to nine. But why this game stung

871
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 4: so much? It was the first game of Super Bowl

872
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 4: or say Super wild Card weekend. But now the Texans

873
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 4: stay alive, and the Cardinals own the Texans first round

874
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 4: draft pick, and that pick is now no lower than

875
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 4: twenty five, and if the Packers should lose, and if

876
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 4: the Buccaneers should lose and the Texans lose, then that

877
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 4: pick becomes number twenty seven because you go by records

878
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, the Cardinals can't catch a

879
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 4: break when it comes to that. But again that's that's

880
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 4: for later on the discussion.

881
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 11: C J.

882
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 4: Straut is just amazing.

883
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 5: I just love the unknowns, Like guys like c J.

884
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 5: Stroud you don't know, like I don't know what the

885
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 5: Vegas line on that was. But I do know all

886
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 5: the analysts in the studio and all the pregame shows

887
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 5: unanimously took Cleveland. You don't know what CJ. Stroud is

888
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 5: capable of. You don't know what Jordan Love is capable of.

889
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 5: These guys are unproven unknowns on the big playoff stage.

890
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 3: So it's so.

891
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 5: Intriguing to find out, you know, in real time, what

892
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 5: they're made of and what they're capable of.

893
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it goes to show and we probably already

894
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 6: talked about how great the NFL game is and playoffs are,

895
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 6: because you just don't you know, you just want to

896
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 6: punch your ticket because everybody's got a chance. Well, you know,

897
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 6: this roster, this Houston roster was viewed as the worst

898
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 6: roster entering this season. And you know what you get

899
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 6: from that game, it's it's probably the two Coach of

900
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 6: the Year candidates playing against each other. You know, a young,

901
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 6: inexperienced quarterback against an old Wiley Vett who has won

902
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl. Just a lot of storylines in that game.

903
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 6: And yeah, the Texans, you know, CJ. Stroud was was great,

904
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 6: showed Pois was putting the ball where it needed to go.

905
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 6: You know, and they're dealing with injuries as well. But

906
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 6: they went out there and played a great game against

907
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 6: what was the number one defense in the league and

908
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 6: moved the ball at will.

909
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 4: CJ became the youngest quarterback to win a playoff game,

910
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 4: as Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski said postgame quote, we

911
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 4: picked a bad day to have a bad day.

912
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 5: Look, if you get the head coach and the quarterback right,

913
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 5: the possibilities are endless. In the NFL, that massed a

914
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 5: lot of other deficiencies and talent deficits, So hopefully that's

915
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 5: something once again that is a case study for the

916
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 5: Arizona Cardinals Jonathan Gann and Kyler Murray. And then you

917
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 5: know what, you don't have to have the world's best roster.

918
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 5: If you have those two spots correct, that can.

919
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 3: Go a long way in the NFL.

920
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 4: We are all Ravens fans though, next Saturday when the

921
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 4: te Texans play the Ravens, and hopefully that pick doesn't

922
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 4: drop any further than it already has here in the

923
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 4: month of January.

924
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 5: And hopefully it's really cold in Baltimore for an indoor

925
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 5: team like the Texans.

926
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 4: Special thanks to Jim Momahunro, Cody Fincher, Matt Lazarus for

927
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 4: Paul CALVC, Cob Nabosh, I'm Craig Rayolu. This is the

928
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

929
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: You've been listening to the Cardinals Red Sea Report.

930
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 3: It is caught by McBride.

931
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 2: Hey, it's a touchdown boot a Baker with the sack

932
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 2: strip the ball.
