The latest example the National Football League. Did 20 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 3: you know, Ron Wolfley that every season since nineteen ninety, 21 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 3: midway through your playing career, at least four teams have 22 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 3: made the playoffs after missing the postseason the year before, 23 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: and in nineteen of the last twenty one seasons, at 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 3: least one team has gone worse the first and that 25 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: team a year ago the stink in Houston Texans and 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: c J. Stroud they were that team, and that is 27 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: known as the land of Opportunity every single season in 28 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: the NFL. Welcome into the Big Red Rage presenta by 29 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: Santan Ford in Gilbert Paul calvic here or Ron Wolfley there. 30 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: You know, it's one of the great things I would say, 31 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Paulie about the National Football League is just the fact 32 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: that you do see that so often worst to first, 33 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: and you'll see it first to worst as well in reverse. 34 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: But that, to me, it gives fans a lot of hope. 35 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: And by the way, at least two teams have won 36 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: their divisions the season after missing the playoffs in twenty 37 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: of the last twenty one seasons. That would be the 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: Lions and the Texans a year ago. And speaking to 39 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: the Lions, guess what, there's Detroit, the d the three 40 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 3: to one three right on the early season. The Cardinals 41 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: schedule because as we all know, you can't play it 42 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: until you schedule it. And it came out yesterday at 43 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 3: five o'clock sharp, and the Arizona Cardinals, there's a lot 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 3: to like, at least if you're a sideline reporter. There's 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: most definitely a lot to like when it comes to 46 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 3: the weather factor, because there are really no bad weather 47 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: games except for maybe Carolina in late December. Other than that, 48 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: no quibbles, no griping, no grousing whatsoever from this end. 49 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: What stood out to you? 50 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's funny about that, Bali because just 51 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: knowing you, of course, and how tight we are. For me, 52 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: it's one of the first things I look at as well, 53 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: is how many cold weather games Paul's gonna have to 54 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: put that park on. So that is what I'm thinking about. 55 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: But I look for the buye immediately, and I always 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: liked that bye to be in November and have that 57 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: buye before Thanksgiving. And sure enough, there it was the 58 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Week eleven bye. I thought that was great in particular 59 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: because the last three years it's been Week twelve, thirteen, 60 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: and fourteen leading up to last season of course twenty 61 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: twenty three. So to me, this is the earliest that 62 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have had this by since twenty twenty and 63 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: I love that. I think it's great. It's right near 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: the middle of the season. And I think that helps them. 65 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: Yep, You're gonna play ten games to take the buye. 66 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: Then you finished with the final seven five of your 67 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: first six games against playoff teams from a year ago, 68 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 3: and then you are gonna have a slugfest in week 69 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: seven at home against the Chargers in Jim Harbaugh. And 70 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 3: we'll get into that little bit later, but Wolf, it 71 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: is a gauntlet to start. I mean, you're at the 72 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: Bills in week one, you get the Rams at home, 73 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: then the Lions who played in the NFC Championship game 74 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury returns with Washington Jane Daniels, the former Issue 75 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 3: quarterback at home week four, and then at the Niners 76 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: at the Packers. 77 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Paully right there. Think about it. Five 78 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: playoff teams in the first six weeks of the season 79 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: right there. That is pretty stoup, There's no denying it. 80 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: What I do like is the fact that after the 81 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: Bills game, of course, you start off on the road 82 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: Week one in the Park against the Buffalo Bills. And 83 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: we'll get to that momentarily, I'm sure, but I love 84 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: the fact that you're home for the next three games. 85 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: Rams in Week two, Lions in Week three, and then 86 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: of course the Washington Commanders in Week four. I love 87 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: the fact that they have three home games after that 88 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: opening game, which will be tough. It's going to be 89 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: a tough off road game up in Buffalo to beat 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: the Bills there. I still think the Bills are going 91 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: to be a playoff team this year, even though a 92 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: lot of people think they might take a step back. 93 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a playoff caliber team, a 94 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: dangerous team. And any time it got Josh Allen, you're 95 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: gonna have to play well. So we'll see how that goes. 96 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: But as far as the first four games of the season, Pali, 97 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: I like it. 98 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: And here's the thing with Buffalo. If you're gonna play 99 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: the Bills, I want them early because they have reset 100 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 3: the receiver room. And you're right, Josh Allen is that dude, 101 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it. And he's a legit MVP 102 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: candidate every year. But he has a totally new group 103 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: of receivers. So if they're struggling with chemistry, then you 104 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: know what I want him. In Week one, they made 105 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: a lot of changes to their defense. They lost their 106 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 3: dynamics safety tandem, so all right, but look you have 107 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: the Rams, in Week two, you have the Niners. Then 108 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 3: in Week five you're gonna get a gauge because you 109 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: have to compete in your division. You're gonna see how 110 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: regular season ready you are, and then there's a chance 111 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 3: to fatten up. I think, you know mid season, towards 112 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 3: the end of the season, where you get teams like 113 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: Carolina and New England, you get some young quarterbacks JJ 114 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: McCarthy with Minnesota. So if you can stay around five 115 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: hundred wolf as you head into November, then there's the 116 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 3: potential for a run. 117 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Paully, I see that potential as well. But you 118 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: know this, and you know what I'm about to say. 119 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: Every year, based on what you just said as well, Paully, 120 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: every year, it seems like the National Football League is 121 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: a year to year proposition. And yes, there is some carryover, 122 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that, just as the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, 123 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: there definitely is. But man, it just seems like it's 124 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: a year to year proposition. You never know injuries, of course, 125 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: and what could possibly happen there. But you know, the 126 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals have a tough part of the season. To me, 127 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: at least the stink part of it, which I call 128 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: the the stink par Paul, I don't know what you 129 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: call it right there, but it's the suck buttermilk part 130 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: I would imagine. 131 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 3: Okay, the degree I diff part. 132 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I'm looking at and this is what 133 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: I look for always too. Other than the start and 134 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: the finish, I look at the stink part of it. 135 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: At San Francisco, ack Green Bay, the Chargers, and at Miami. 136 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: That four game stretch right there in this season, super 137 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: physical teams that the Cardinals are going to be playing, 138 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: even the Chargers. I say the Chargers because as we 139 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: all know, Jim Harbaugh is going to be the head coach, 140 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: and Jim Harball is going to get a team that 141 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: is physical. He's going to bloody your nose. I think 142 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: the Chargers, it's a safe bet they're going to be 143 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: better than five and twelve that was little record, and 144 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: they're going to be way more physical. That one home 145 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: game in between those three road games I think is 146 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: the stink part of the season. 147 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: All right, We're going to get into it in detail 148 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: a little bit later. Right now. Phase two came to 149 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 3: an end this week, the rookies joining the veterans speaking 150 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: of Trey Benson, third round running back Florida State, joining 151 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: our Danny Surec and Craig Grielou, who asked the rookie running. 152 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 5: Back the fastest combine forty among running backs four to 153 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 5: three nine. Happy with that or no? 154 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: No? 155 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 6: I promise Julie, it could have been way faster than 156 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 6: the fourth three nine. There was my worst start that 157 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 6: I've ahead like. That was my worst start I had 158 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 6: in months. I just did running the game because the 159 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 6: four to three was my goal. But I really feel 160 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 6: like I could have hit a late four two. 161 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 3: I mean, at more than two hundred and twenty pounds. 162 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: You combined him with James Connor and you already had 163 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: a top five run game a year ago, and now 164 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: you bolstered the offensive line. Because that was a big 165 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 3: sound bite this week, and then Wolfe listened to this. 166 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: Last week, we had Dave Sears, the assistant GM on. 167 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: He was talking about what they're looking for in offensive linemen, 168 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 3: and then it's no surprise they drafted Isaiah Adams out 169 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: of Illinois in round three. Let's start with Dave Sears. 170 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 3: This guy's them aller. 171 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 6: I mean, he'll get after you and that's we're looking 172 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 6: for grimey offensive linemen and who are gonna put your 173 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 6: face in the dirt, you know. 174 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 5: And this guy is that kind of a guy. 175 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 4: He loves ball. 176 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 6: He's a finisher. Off the field, I'm really polite, kind 177 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 6: of laid back. But on the field, it's time to 178 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 6: part of my language. 179 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 5: But it's time to kill people. 180 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 3: Once again. Once again. There are a couple of things 181 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: that Cardinals are looking for in players. Deadly serious about football, 182 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: all ball, and it's a big man's game. And both 183 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 3: those picks we just heard from incorporate both. 184 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Paully, that third round, you know, statement of purpose. 185 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: I've told you this before. It really is when you 186 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: look at the running back right there, then of course 187 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: Isaiah Adams the offensive guard, and then Tip Ryman. Okay, 188 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: those three consecutive picks right there in the third round. 189 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: That was a statement of purpose. And the purpose is 190 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: going to be the Arizona Cardinals in rundown situation, lining 191 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: up and hammering people. I love the pick of Trey 192 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: Benson and the reason being, Paul, because it says, well, 193 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: James Connor is a big back, and we like the 194 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: fact he's a big back and we're going to attack 195 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage with that big back, but he 196 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: also gets spanged up from time to time because he 197 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: runs in a very physical kind of way. So we're 198 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: gonna go out and we're gonna draft a guy that 199 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: can actually come into the game and spot him. And 200 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: maybe it's a game where James Connor is gonna have 201 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: to set out and this guy can come in, Trey 202 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: Benson and get all those reps right there. Maybe it's 203 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: just a situation that through a game of attrition where 204 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: you're trying to take some of the reps away from 205 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: James Connor because you've got Trey Benson. Maybe you just 206 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: want to go with a tandem right there. I love 207 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: the fact they're drafting for depth behind a philosophy, and 208 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: that philosophy is we're gonna take the frying pan and 209 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: flatten your face. I love that ball. 210 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: So now you take that run game. Top five in 211 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: the NFL A year ago, you add your franchise quarterback, 212 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 3: two time Pro Bowl or Kyler Murray. With a full offseason, 213 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 3: you throw in Marvin Harrison junior, Michael Wilson. In year 214 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: or two, you sign a Zay Jones. You get a 215 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 3: couple of rookies, plus Greg Dortch will be featured more. 216 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: And you know, Wolf, I ask you, do you how 217 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: much more? Bet Alis? Do you think the offense will 218 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 3: be this year? Do you think it'll be such a 219 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 3: run first mentality? Look was he yr Ago? Was that 220 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: out of necessity or was that by design? 221 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: No? I think it definitely is going to be a 222 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: run first mentality, Paul, I think it's going to be that, 223 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: but that that could be easy and early in the season. Now, 224 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, once you establish the fact that hey, 225 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: we are one of the best rushing teams in the 226 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: NFL early in the season, Oh my goodness, that opens 227 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: up so much more for you. 228 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: By the way, I'm hearing good things out there this 229 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 3: week about Darius Robinson, the other first rounder.

Yes, there is a type 254 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: of safety that they covered, by the way. That was 255 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 3: Yelda Frohold from Monterey, Mexico making that call on that 256 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: selection in the draft. Cardinals in round four go for 257 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 3: the safety out of Texas Tech. It's officially Dadrian Taylor Demerson, 258 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 3: except nobody really calls him that. We'll get into that 259 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: here in a moment. It's a big red rage presented 260 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: by santan Ford in Gilbert. We are santan Ford. So well, 261 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 3: we went through the schedule and we'll get into the 262 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: schedule in depth here in a moment. But you know, 263 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 3: a lot of lofty projections about the Arizona Cardinals. Hey, 264 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 3: playoff team above five hundred. Some people even get into 265 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 3: double digits in the win column. I guess my question 266 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: in line with that is can the defense make enough 267 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: of an improvement to bear out those sort of bullish predictions. 268 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Pauly, that that really is the question. I was 269 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: talking about this today. As a matter of fact, an 270 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: awful lot the rest of Cardinals defense could just play 271 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: at an average clip in the National Football League. If 272 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: they could just be an average team defensively, pay that 273 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: could change an awful lot with the Arizona Cardinals. Now 274 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: I realized that that would be a big step forward 275 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: from being near the end in terms of especially their 276 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: rush defense, being at the end of the metrics, and 277 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: then move up somewhere in the middle. That would be 278 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: a big step forward, There's no doubt. But I think 279 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: the combination of them just becoming average and the Arizona 280 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals offense physically, I think their offense Paul is going 281 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: to bash people in the face, and I think it's 282 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: going to be really, really good. I'm talking about explosive good, 283 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: like chunk throw good because of the play action off 284 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: of it. I think that combination could get the Arizona 285 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: Cardinals definitely to double digit wins. 286 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: Well, there's no doubt they have made improvements at all 287 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 3: three levels of the defense. They invested heavily in the 288 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: d line, both in the draft and free agency. We even 289 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: saw some investments there at linebacker with a Max Wilson, 290 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 3: and then obviously the secondary of Max Melton and Elijah Jones, right, 291 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: Jayden Davis, all corners drafted. And then you have the 292 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 3: guy who goes by Rabbit, the safety, the rookie out 293 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 3: of Texas Tech. In fact, his old trainer. There is 294 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: a Cardinals trainer now And when I brought up his name, 295 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 3: he said no, no, Dadrien, he said, no, no, you just 296 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 3: call him Rabbit. And that's where Craig Griolu and Danny 297 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 3: Surrex started, Craig Griolu asking Dadrian this question. 298 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 5: So can I call you rabbit or is that something 299 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 5: that has to be earned. 300 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 8: Now. You can call me Rabbit Rab or you can 301 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 8: call me Daydren. 302 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter to me. 303 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 5: Any goals that you have set for yourself, whether that's 304 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 5: rookie minty camp or OTA's mini camp, and then go 305 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 5: in into training camp. 306 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 8: Yep, I'd probably say going number one to start myself 307 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 8: on this program, no matter what that is best teams. 308 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 8: Why am I right now is just like coming in 309 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 8: freshman year in college.

Probably doesn't even remember it, 333 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 8: but I mean, I'm not mad at all. But now 334 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 8: it'd be really cool to get to meet everybody, really 335 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 8: get to hear how they talk, see if they because 336 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 8: I've prided myself on being very high Q and he's 337 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 8: right even a better hi Q guy than I am, 338 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 8: So just hearing how he speaks that way, I can 339 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 8: just adapt myself to get to speak in that linguo 340 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 8: that mean that that language that all the guys in 341 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 8: that room speak here and all the ideas. I'm a 342 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 8: really good note taker, but I really want to see 343 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 8: what hit his notebook looks like. So there's just a 344 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 8: lot to learn from a lot of guys that you know, 345 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 8: have had the success and the success one that he's had. 346 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 8: And then just the experience in this program, in this defense, 347 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 8: and especially in this league. 348 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 5: So this coaching staff, especially on defense, values versatility and 349 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 5: looking at what you did at Texas Tech, Yeah, you're 350 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 5: listed as a safety, but ELSEO, rather you played some slot, 351 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 5: you were in the box. Is there somewhere where you 352 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 5: can't play defensively or maybe you prefer to play on 353 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 5: that side. 354 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 8: Well, my dream position is mike linebacker, but I ain't 355 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 8: got the frame for that. So but nah, that just 356 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 8: hats off to my staff at Tech. The last two 357 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 8: years I was there that we really ran the true 358 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 8: NFL style defense. So I got to show my scheme 359 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 8: vosatility within those two years they come in, you know, me, 360 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 8: do my job, drop me here, drop me there, And 361 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 8: then a second year we can kind of get like 362 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 8: really funky with it and really get to play with team, 363 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 8: really start to understand the art of the skies and 364 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 8: things like that. So yeah, I played a couple of positions. 365 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 8: Well it's really the same position, just dropping down in 366 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 8: different spots, and that's kind of how we do it here. 367 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 8: So I've kind of like already played this defense before 368 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 8: that we've played it's just different terminology and like I 369 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 8: just had a minute ago. Like all the techniques and 370 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 8: the ways I think and the way that I play 371 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 8: on the field is really getting to fined down to 372 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 8: a t to understand why I'm really doing things. So 373 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 8: like that's the like I said earlier, that's the coolest 374 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 8: part of now because I really get to get into 375 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 8: like super super detail. And then and then from hearing 376 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 8: from these guys and just watching how they do things, 377 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 8: might change a little bit of my game, and I 378 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 8: might honestly add a little bit to somebody else's game 379 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 8: and make them a little bit better. So it's a 380 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 8: true buddy buddy system once you get to this league. 381 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: Oh, Rabbit, Dadrian Taylor Demerson, At least I have one 382 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: thing in common with Rabbit, and that is both of 383 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: our dream positions are Mike linebacker, and neither one of 384 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 3: us has the frame to play that position. 385 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought that was really really cool. Good right there, Paul. 386 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: You know what's so fascinating about it, Paul, I don't 387 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: know if you've noticed this, but does one guy sound 388 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: like the other guy in terms of draft picks? 389 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: Because when he was speaking, especially the very end, there 390 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 3: in such great detail and depth about the position itself 391 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 3: and the possibilities and disguising it reminded me of Garrett 392 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 3: Williams in the conversation we have with Garret Williams where 393 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 3: he said he got bored of college football it wasn't 394 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: advanced enough in the schematics. 395 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: I tell you what I've told you for yours, Paul, 396 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact. But you know it just 397 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: it's really really cool to see that once again, Manti, 398 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: assin Fort and JG they have a clear cut individual, 399 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 1: a clearcut player that they want to bring into their 400 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: culture right here. I love listening to it. Rabbit's no 401 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: different right now. I love the fact he's all about 402 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: proving himself. He wants to come in here, assert himself, 403 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: prove himself. He's talking about winning the trust of his teammates. 404 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 6: Paul. 405 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: This is really really good stuff right here. You've got 406 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: to come in. You've got to prove that you can 407 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: play at this level. You've got to prove it to 408 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: not only yourself, PAULI, but your players and the guys 409 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: that are in that locker room with you. You have to 410 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: prove that you can play. And the only way you 411 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: can do that is earn their trust by going out 412 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: and doing, and I think Rabbit understands that, and he's 413 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: talking about learning from the guys as well his versatility. 414 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: I love the fact that he said mike backer is 415 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: his dream job. I listen. I know he was joking. 416 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: Yet at the same time, something tells me his mentality 417 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: is built like that as a mic linebacker. And again, Paul, 418 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 1: that's the way every one of these draft picks sound. 419 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: So if you have that sort of aggression, right, if 420 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: that's your mindset like a mic linebacker. Yet you're also 421 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 3: saying I'd love to get a look at Buddha's notebook, 422 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 3: then all right, he's obviously thinking the game as well. 423 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 3: But to your point, how many rookies when asked, well, 424 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 3: what are your goals your rookie year, right, and they go, jameez, 425 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 3: I want to have foreign interceptions. No, his answer was 426 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 3: I want to earn trust and gain respect. So at 427 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 3: least he has the awareness that no one, none of 428 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 3: your teammates, none of your coaches, are going to consider 429 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 3: you viable until you earn their trust. And oh, by 430 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 3: the way, he was also the fastest safety at the combine. 431 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 3: He ran a four four to one, So we'll see 432 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 3: if he's plugging play in it for some reason. All 433 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're like, man, he's locking guys down 434 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 3: out of the slot because he has experience in that. 435 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: Does that free up Garrett Williams to bounce outside as 436 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: a corner.

Helps celebrate with DeAndre Hopkins. 453 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 3: Hail Murray the game winner. There twenty twenty the prayer 454 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: that was answered Kyler Murray to DeAndre Hopkins and the 455 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 3: former Cardinals old lineman wired for sound. Welcome back into 456 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 3: the Big Red Rage, presented by santan Ford and Gilbert. 457 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 3: We are santan Ford and Wolf. You are going back 458 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 3: home week one to take on the four time defending 459 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 3: AFC East champion Buffalo Bills, who, by the way, with 460 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 3: quarterback Josh Allen, here's your holy can only stat since 461 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 3: Tom Brady left the division, Josh Allen is nineteen to 462 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: five against the AFC East. How about that. 463 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: It's pretty good, bully right there. No doubt they had 464 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: a very good pass defense last year. But if they 465 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: have a blight, if they have a fault line, that 466 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: fault line is on the line of scrimmage. Defensively, Paul, 467 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals gonna line up and attack 468 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and run the ball. That's where they're 469 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: going to be tested because they were right in the 470 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: middle towards the end also of the league in terms 471 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: of rushing and stopping the run. So I think the 472 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are going to try to attack the Buffalo Bills, 473 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: and we should know you know depending on how this 474 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: team plays in the preseason, how practices are going in 475 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: the preseason, we should know quickly if the Arizona Cardinals offense, 476 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: especially their red run offense. Paul, you heard it there first, 477 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: red run. I like it, bluddy your nose, Paul. I 478 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: think if it's clicking, they're going to be able to 479 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: run the ball and throw the ball. And we'll find 480 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: out early in Buffalo. 481 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 3: By the way, you're wondering why would Buffalo trade Stefan Diggs, Well, 482 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 3: they closed the season with five straight wins where Diggs 483 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 3: had only twenty four catches combined in those five games 484 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: for two hundred and fourteen yards and zero touchdowns, meaning 485 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 3: they got no production out of Digs the end of 486 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 3: the season and they were winning. So they decided, you 487 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 3: know what, we can move on from him. And then 488 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 3: I'll say this. You talk about the offense and what 489 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 3: they look like against Buffalo, I'll say, what is the 490 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 3: Cardinals defense, in particular the run defense look like against 491 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 3: the Rams, Because we know what Kyra and Williams did 492 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 3: against the Cardinals last year in two games combined average 493 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 3: better than seven yards of carry. He ended up second 494 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 3: team All Pro at running back Christian mca we have 495 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: for a first team All Pro running back. They're both 496 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 3: in your division. So against the Rams and Sean McVay, 497 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 3: that's where I think you're going to get a real 498 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 3: test to your run. 499 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: De Yeah, it's not only that right there, but Paul, 500 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: the next week as well at home the Detroit Lions, Right, 501 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Detroit Lions are going to 502 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: line up and they're gonna run the ball. They're gonna 503 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: hammer the ball. That's what they do, that's who they are. 504 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: They use that in the combination of Jared goff in 505 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: play action to throw the ball a large percentage of 506 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: the time. So those first two home games against the 507 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: Rams and against the Lions in particular as well, it's 508 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: going to be very very important, PAULI that to that 509 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: defensive front bones up a little bit because the Rams 510 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: aren't going to try to run the ball as well. 511 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: But the good news is, once again, a lot of 512 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: reinforcements came this offseason. 513 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 3: Yep, and I've said it before, I firmly believe the 514 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 3: Cardinals are in a way following the Honolulu Blueprint, which 515 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 3: is what I call it. If you can get the 516 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 3: head coach and the GM correct like the Lions did 517 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: hitting a home run right with Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell. 518 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 3: And then you draft to get physical to bolster your 519 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 3: offensive line first four to five, the defensive front like 520 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 3: the Cardinals are doing. Then you fill in some of 521 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 3: these skill positions around there. I just see a lot 522 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 3: of similarities. And oh, by the way, two years ago, 523 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 3: the Lions started one and six and then it turned 524 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 3: they were eight of their final ten and then boom, 525 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 3: they've been winning ever since. 526 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: Very very similar to what happened with the Arizona Cardinals 527 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: last year. And once again I realize, you know, Kyler 528 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: Murray only played in eight games, of course, and to me, 529 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to say it should have would 530 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: have cut a but they should have been fourth fall. No, 531 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it right now. Okay, I'm gonna say 532 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: that they should have beat Seattle that last week. They 533 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: did not do that. But man, they played so much 534 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: better with Kyler Murray as we know. So I look 535 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: at the second half of last year and to me, 536 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: you can, as an individual, Paull, you can carry over 537 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: a lot of the momentum, a lot of what you 538 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: gained from a confidence perspective. You can actually transfer that 539 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: over to the next season because of the confidence that 540 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 1: you gained. The Cardinals have a lot of guys that 541 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: I think can look at themselves and say, yeah, you 542 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: know what, that was good last year and the second 543 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: half of the season. This first half of the season 544 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: is going to be super good for me. 545 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 3: So the NFL dot com site they listed the top 546 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 3: ten revenge games of twenty twenty four. Yep, they didn't 547 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 3: have Cardinals against Washington. I mean there were ten revenge 548 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 3: games and there were six honorable mention and there was 549 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: no mention of Cliff Kingsbury coming back to the az 550 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 3: right as the former head coach. So he's the offensive 551 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 3: coordinator now the Washington Commanders. And by the way, they're 552 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 3: going to start their eighth different Week one quarterback in 553 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 3: the last eight seasons, and they haven't finished better than 554 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 3: twenty third in scoring offense since twenty seventeen. And last 555 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: year Sam Howell got act sixty five times and he 556 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: led the NFL in picks. So there's only upside for 557 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury, I would imagine. 558 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul I would agree with that right there. And 559 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm very, very curious to see what kind of offense 560 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: they run. I mean, just how much a shotgun is it? 561 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: Is it going to be Cliff Kingsbury? Is it going 562 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: to be that? Or has Cliff Kingsbury evolved a little 563 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: bit with his you know what? Person? 564 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: You know what he said two days ago he met 565 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 3: the media in Washington and he said that I have 566 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 3: to make sure as the offensive coordinator that this is 567 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 3: year one of the Washington Commander's offense and not year 568 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 3: five of the Arizona Cardinals offense. No, I'm quoting in well, 569 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 3: I miss that, I'm quoting That's what he said. So 570 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: I think it was his way of saying, I have 571 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: to tailor to what I have in my locker room 572 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 3: and maybe acknowledge that he's you know, especially in the 573 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: division he's in that's known for black and blue football, 574 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 3: it's going to be a little more straight ahead football, right. 575 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Pauline. And not only that too, maybe I mean 576 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: the game of football. Think about it. When Cliff came in, Man, 577 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: the pendulum was swinging towards the New age ball. Ye, 578 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: it was you and I talked about this many many times. 579 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: It was a whole new philosophy, not only schematically and 580 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: how you were going to play football in the shotgun 581 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: and throwing the ball a lot in the RPO, in 582 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: the zone raid, and that's what you were going to do. 583 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: And hurry up, get on the ball man. Everybody was 584 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: migrating towards that new age football. It wasn't just schematically, 585 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: it was also how you prepare a football player to 586 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,479 Speaker 1: play in a football game. Now that pendulum has swung back, 587 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: and I'll guarantee you Cliff, being the smart guy that 588 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: he is, he knows it, and he knows he's got 589 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: to blend some of the more traditional elements of the 590 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: game of football with that new age, and I think 591 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: I'll do it. 592 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Vivill remember saying, you know what, It's sort of 593 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 3: like Steph Curry comes to the NFL. You spread the floor. 594 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 3: How many shots can you get up? How many plays 595 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 3: can you run? But no, now it's about running between 596 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 3: the tackles and dictating to the defense. Speaking of the 597 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 3: forty nine ers, someone's got to do something about the 598 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 3: stinging forty nine ers in the division. You realize they've 599 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 3: won five in a row against Seattle, they've run four 600 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 3: in row against the Cardinals, and they won nine out 601 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 3: of the last ten regular season games against the Rams. Yeah, 602 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: somebody's got to try and knock off the forty nine ers. 603 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 3: In Week five, you're going to Santa Clara. 604 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: And Paula, this is what you and I were talking 605 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: about a little bit earlier, right there. Just the fact 606 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: adds this next four game stretch for the Cardinals, I 607 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: think is really the stink part of the schedule for them. 608 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: It's going to get a little sticky right here at 609 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco, at green Bay home against the Chargers on 610 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: Monday Night football, and then of course at Miami. Those 611 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: away games alone San Francisco, Green Bay and Miami very 612 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: very physical football teams, love to attack the line of 613 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: scrimmage and use play action to throw the ball. And 614 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: then of course that one home game on Monday Night 615 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: against Jim Harbaugh the Chargers, very very physical, right there, paul, 616 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: That to me is gonna be the block that really 617 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: is going to be the tough part of the schedule. 618 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 3: Remember the six to six slugfest against Seattle that went overtime. 619 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: Remember that, Yeah, I did that Cardinals Chargers game. It 620 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 3: won't be that physical, but it's gonna leave a mark. 621 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, for those who don't remember 622 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh has a track record of first year's success. 623 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 3: Remember that his first year with the Niners they went 624 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 3: from six to ten to thirteen and three. He took 625 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 3: Stanford after they went one and eleven and took him 626 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 3: to a bowl game in year one. Same thing with Michigan. 627 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 3: So he has a track record of turning a team 628 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 3: around instantly, and he's already instituted a bunch of physical 629 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 3: type disciplines into the regiment with the LA Chargers. 630 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also just looking at the forty nine ers 631 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: once again, and that's on October sixth, as a matter 632 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: of fact, that's Week five and then Week eight against 633 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, two very similar football teams in terms of 634 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: how they're built, in particular of course on the offensive 635 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: side of the ball. That to me is really going 636 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: to be one of the reasons why you're going to 637 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: look at some guys like Justin Jones and Balal Nichols 638 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: and say, man, I'm glad that we went out and 639 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: got starters who can hold up on the line of scrimmage, 640 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: because that's gonna get nasty. 641 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 642 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle combined for more receiving yards 643 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 3: than any other receiver tandem. In twenty twenty three, Tyreek 644 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 3: Kill himself had just under eighteen hundred yards receiving. They 645 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 3: added Odell Beckham Junior. By the way, they extended Raheem Moster, 646 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,959 Speaker 3: who had twenty one total touchdowns last year. And they 647 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 3: also have this speedy track guide of on eight chain. Right, 648 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 3: he had eight hundred yards rushing. He had nearly eight 649 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: yards of carry. So that game against Miami, thankfully, it's 650 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 3: not going to be in the ultra heat in humidity, 651 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 3: it's gonna be late October, but you're going to figure 652 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 3: out if you have the team speed to keep up 653 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 3: with the Miami Dolphins. 654 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Paully once again, 655 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: but the physicality of those four games.

We are santan Ford, Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley, 692 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 3: and Kyler Murray. I mean you talk about winning the offseason, Wolf, 693 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 3: whether it's Kyler putting an extra work out of Swarrow 694 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 3: High School and throw the balls to construction workers, whether 695 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 3: it's Kyler hitting three pointers at NBA playoff games on 696 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 3: the road, whether it's Kyler in the batting cage at 697 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 3: his alma mater Oklahoma. 698 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, a. 699 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 3: Reminder, just look at that swing. He was a top 700 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 3: ten pick in baseball, is I tell you, Wolf? You 701 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 3: tell me real quick, just to be I saw this 702 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 3: rating came out earlier today nfl dot Com Top ten 703 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 3: MVP candidates at Anthony Richardson at number seven, the Colts quarterback. 704 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 3: You played less than five games last year. Kyler was 705 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 3: nowhere to be seen. What degree do you think he's 706 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 3: under the radar going into this year. 707 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he is under the radar, Polly, And 708 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: I like the fact that he's under the radar right now. 709 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: I think it's just one more thing that Kyler Murray 710 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: can use as a little bit of fuel going forward. 711 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: Right now. I love the fact everything you just said 712 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray and winning the off season right now, 713 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: so much of the off season has been spent with teammates. 714 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: Have you noticed that, pomp is Yes, facts exactly right 715 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: with teammates. And I don't know if we could say 716 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: that about Kyler in the past and some of these 717 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: other off seasons. Now, again, he was rehabbing an awful 718 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: lot as well, But I just there's something different about 719 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: Kyler right now, there's no denying it. And he has 720 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: been getting a lot of FaceTime with his teammates this offseason, 721 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: and that, to me is only going to bring reward 722 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: and benefit to not only Kyler Murray but the Arizona 723 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: Cardinals in general. 724 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 3: Right Let's make like K one and go up Temple here. 725 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 3: We'll run the no huddle. We'll go through the second 726 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 3: half of the skied starting with Week nine against the Bears, 727 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 3: not to sound like Dennis Green, but you know, as 728 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 3: everybody crowned the Bears already with Caleb Williams. I mean, 729 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 3: my goodness, how many people are going with the Bears 730 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,240 Speaker 3: in like Houston, Texans as in under the radar Super 731 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 3: Bowl matchup? I mean, how legit do you think the 732 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 3: Bears are going to be because we saw their defense 733 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 3: late last season and that was legit. 734 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, And Pauli, That's what I was just gonna 735 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: say right there. Anytime you have a defense, you got 736 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: a chance. Yeah, you got a chance. You give me 737 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: a defense and a good punter, and I'll be in 738 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: every game. Pole my old coach used to say that. 739 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 3: And you know what, I'm so glad you mentioned that 740 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 3: because you know they drafted a punter in the fourth round, 741 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears. It was the highest drafted punter since 742 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,720 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen. Yes, it was the kid out of Iowa 743 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 3: who had plenty of practice because Iowa was the worst 744 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 3: offense in the land, and Tory Taylor fourth round pick. 745 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: That's an unbelievable poule that you said, because it is. 746 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: That's the truth. You give me a good defense and 747 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 1: a punter and I'll be in every game. That's an 748 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: old coaching axiom that is out there right there, and 749 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: that's what the Chicago Bears have done, PAULI. So they're 750 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: gonna be physical defensively, they're gonna be tough to actually 751 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: score points on. But at some point in time, the 752 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 1: game of attrition does start to wear a defense down 753 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: if they're out on the field a lot. And that 754 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: is the question. Well, Caleb Williams, how quickly will he 755 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: come along? At Q? 756 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 7: All? 757 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 3: Right, then you have four year old Aaron Rodgers, four 758 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,439 Speaker 3: time MVP. He's coming to town week ten with the Jets. 759 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 3: It's all speaking defense, speaking of another great defense, and yep, 760 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 3: you just have to wonder what the offense is all about. 761 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: Yeah you do now, Aaron Rodgers. Of course, being back 762 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: and being healthy and being motivated, I would imagine that's 763 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: gonna be yea, that's going to be a nightmare for 764 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: a lot of defensive coordinators that are out there. But 765 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: that to me, once again, I think the Arizona colonels 766 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: are going to get better as the unfolds. Now, you 767 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen. I'm basing my claim 768 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: on a lot of young guys that I think are 769 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: going to be playing earlier in the season getting better 770 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 1: as the season unfolds. So you know, I think that 771 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: could be a win right there, Paul against the Jets. 772 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: That's just me. But we'll have to wait and see, 773 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: all right. 774 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 3: Well, as season ended four snaps into the campaign last year, 775 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 3: so Aaron Rodgers is back. Don't know if he had 776 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 3: his four to D eight darkness retreat like he did 777 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 3: last off season. But that brings us to the bye 778 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 3: and then out of that week twelve of you take 779 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 3: on Seattle, in fact, you'll take on the Seahawks twice 780 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 3: in three weeks. What do you make of that dynamic? 781 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I like the week eleven bye, Pauly, 782 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: can I tell you that right now in November, of 783 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,479 Speaker 1: course before Thanksgiving? That's great. Anytime you get that bye 784 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, I think that is great. The fact that 785 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: it's week eleven right there, and the fact that there's 786 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: going to be no toad licking in week eleven as well. 787 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: With that buy, I think also would be a big 788 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: deal for them coming off the New York Jets game. 789 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: Having said that, Paul at Seattle at Minnesota right there, 790 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: I love the fact the Arizona Cardinals are going to 791 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: be able to play against the teams that drafted the 792 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: four young quarterbacks. Now at Seattle, of course, we know 793 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: they're not one of those teams, but Minnesota is. Could 794 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy be playing by then, I think there's no 795 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: doubt about it. If he's healthy, JJ McCarthy's going to 796 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 1: be playing by weeks week thirteen. He might be playing 797 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: a lot sooner than that as well. But I love 798 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 1: the fact that they get to play these guys, all 799 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks that were taken, they get to play them 800 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 1: at some point. 801 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 3: Paulague and then week fifteen, New England, speaking of Drake 802 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 3: May the number three pick in the draft, and you 803 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 3: had a Patriots team that ever since Tom Brady left 804 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 3: after the twenty nineteen season, is nine games below five hundred. 805 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 3: They bought him out last year. You're at four and thirteen. 806 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 3: Bill Belichick out obviously, So there's see, this is the 807 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 3: part of the down the stretch. You come of the 808 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 3: schedule New England, then Week sixteen at Carolina. If you're 809 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,919 Speaker 3: in the hunt, you have some very winnable games once 810 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 3: you get into December. 811 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're right, Bully, you know, once again, New England. 812 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: Of course, I think that is gonna be big, as 813 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,439 Speaker 1: you said with Drake May and then at Carolina and 814 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 1: at the Rams San Francisco of course, home away, whatever 815 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: it may be, that's gonna be tough. You don't know 816 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,760 Speaker 1: if San Francisco what they'll be playing for, if anything, 817 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 1: at that point in time, But who knows, Paul, Maybe 818 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals have got to win that game. That's 819 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: the question that I'm asking right now. What's gonna what's 820 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 1: that going to look like when they're at the Rams 821 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: in week seventeen and Week eighteen hosting the forty nine 822 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: ers at home, those last two games against Division Ry. 823 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: What will the Cardinals be playing for? What could they 824 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: be playing for? 825 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,919 Speaker 3: And guests? Who would be leading the forty nine ers 826 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 3: barring injury? Brock perty the Gilbert kid right that led 827 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 3: the NFL in passer rating last year and led the 828 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 3: NFL in total QB rating and yards gain per attempt, 829 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 3: and he was selected the NFC starting quarterback for. 830 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 7: The Pro Bowl. 831 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 3: That brock Purty, who would come in and then with 832 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey leading the NFL in rushing yards and scrimmage 833 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 3: yards and once again that would be a great statement 834 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 3: game at the end of the year, the punctuation to 835 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 3: the regular season, going against the best the division has 836 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 3: had to offer the last few years. 837 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, once again, you know, the respect, especially 838 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: when we start talking about the forty nine ers, the 839 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: respect that I have for them and how they play 840 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 1: the game of football. Just absolutely love Kyle Shanahan. Think 841 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: he is an excellent coach. I know that's not going 842 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: to be news to anybody that is out there right now, 843 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: but he brings that physical mentality. He's always had it. 844 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why the Dolphins also are 845 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: really really good because they took Mike McDaniel. They took 846 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: him down there as well. Very very physical. They run 847 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: the same kind of offense and to me, Kyle Shanahan 848 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: has not changed how he plays whatsoever. And John Lynch, 849 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 1: the general manager of the forty nine ers, has gone 850 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: out and really populated that roster with a lot of 851 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: guys that Kyle Shanahan loves. And his defense, his offense, 852 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: and in his transition ball all three phases. They are 853 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: very very physical. As a matter of fact, I think 854 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have maybe the most physical special 855 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: teams in the National Football LUG. That's just me. 856 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,280 Speaker 3: And look, the players have their own assignments in the offseason. 857 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 3: This coaching staff had it. It's assignment, right. You got 858 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 3: to figure out the division for the first time since 859 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 3: re alignment in two thousand and two. You went and 860 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 3: win listening your own division. So you gotta study Kyle Shanahan, 861 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 3: Sean McVay. What is Mike McDonald going to do up 862 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 3: in Seattle that a lot of people think that's gonna 863 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 3: be an even more physical run game. It's gonna resemble 864 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 3: what Baltimore was doing. So you have all that, you 865 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 3: start with three in a row from week two to 866 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 3: three and four after the opener at Buffalo at home, 867 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 3: and then you end with three out of five at home. 868 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 3: And by the way, no international games this year, so 869 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 3: five games internationally in twenty twenty four. Remember the NFL 870 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 3: plans to increase to eight or nine international games next 871 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 3: year twenty twenty five. There's gonna be a game in Spain, 872 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 3: and there might be a game in Dublin. 873 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, PAULI.
