Here's Dave pash 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: aq Shipley and All Calby's. 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 3: Dave pash aq Shipley breathing a cygh of relief up 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 3: here after a wild finish, a game that looked over 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, not only is it 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: not over, but you might lose and you may not 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 3: get the ball back. But the Cardinals got pressure with 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: four on Bryce Young several times and they end up 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: winning the game. Twenty seven, twenty two. Klass Campbell, AQ, 14 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 3: he might be older than you, if I'm correct, I 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: think he is. 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: I think he is in the Ageless Wonder in his 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: eighteenth season. I mean, how good is that? I mean 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: two sacks and critical moments in the fourth quarter and 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: the game ceiling one. We saw Cam Jordan, another Ageless Wonder, 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 2: have a good game as an older Maybe maybe age 21 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 2: is beauty these days, Dave. 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 3: I mean you played eleven years, right, you played eleven 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 3: years in you twelve twelve okay, twelve years and you 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 3: retired six years ago. Yet he's still playing in these 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: older than you, unbelieva, and he's a defensive linement. I mean, 26 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: it's just ridiculous what Kalais Campbell is doing. And on 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: the final play he gets the sack to end this game. 28 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember Aq when he came 29 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 3: into the league. I don't know if you recall that, 30 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: but just being here when he was here, he's the 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 3: same guy. Like the way he plays, his motor, his heart, 32 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 3: it's it's still there. 33 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 4: The beautiful thing. 34 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: As you get older, you don't realize it, but what 35 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: you lose in maybe some speed, you lose a step 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: in speed, you lose a step in this you gain 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: in your edge, gain in your mental you gain an 38 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: understanding how to play the position better. And that's exactly 39 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: what he's done now. He might not be able to 40 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: play fifty sixty plays anymore, but the twenty that he 41 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: plays are going to be crucial plays all season long. 42 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 5: We can clearly see that. 43 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: Four tackles, two sacks, two quarterback hurries, two tackles for 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 3: a loss as the Cardinals win at twenty seven to 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: twenty two. We'll have much more coming up on the 46 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 3: Cardinals Locker Room Show. After this is the Cardinals Radio 47 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: and never Finals scored twenty seven to twenty two, the 48 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 3: Cardinals win it. Kyler Murray throws for two to twenty 49 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 3: at a touchdown, but he also had an interception, and 50 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 3: James Connor had a rushing touchdown. Bryce Young had two turnovers, 51 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 3: a fumble that was recovered for a touchdown ninety seconds 52 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: into the game. He also had a pick on the 53 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: next possession, but after that he threw for over three 54 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: hundred yards and three touchdowns. The Panthers aq had a 55 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: chance to win the game because they were covered an 56 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: on side kick on a ball that hit Mac Wilson. 57 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 3: And I'm sure a lot of people are wondering on 58 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: that play, what's Mac Wilson's responsibility because it didn't look 59 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: like he saw the ball, It didn't look like he 60 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: went for the ball. What are they asking him to do? 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: And was that just a great kick there by the 62 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,559 Speaker 3: kicker wasn't a mistake by the Cardinals. 63 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 2: I think the kick was normal right Like it wasn't 64 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: even a great one because the one that you're looking 65 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: for is that high hop that you've seen all these 66 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: years on the great onside kicks, But what his job 67 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: is to do if you are on the front line 68 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 2: of onside kick, that's the whole reason you go hands team. 69 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: You put that receiver behind you, who's gonna go up high, 70 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: point the ball and catch it and right and the 71 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: front guys are basically blockers. That's all their job is 72 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: to do. So you are literally picking out a guy 73 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: across from you and it. It might be the fourth guy, in, 74 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: the third guy, and whoever it is. Whoever mack Wilson had, 75 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: he is locked on a target, zeroed in, and his 76 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: job is to go meet him, create space for the 77 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: guy behind to go get the ball wherever it may be. 78 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: It hit the arm and then the Panthers were able 79 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: to jump on it. Michael Wilson was in the area, 80 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: didn't really dive forward at that point. May not have mattered. 81 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: There were three Panthers around the ball, but thankfully Kalais 82 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: Campbell with the sack at the end of the game 83 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: on fourth and fifteen ends it and the Cardinals win 84 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: at twenty seven to twenty two. Give me your overall 85 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: evaluation of what you saw from the Cardinals quarterback today 86 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray. 87 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. Right before he turns it over, you say, hey, 88 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: he's doing great job not turning the ball over. And 89 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: it's ironic how many times that is that jinx right, 90 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: and it's the announcer's jinks when that happens. But up 91 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: until that point, he's done a fantastic job of just 92 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: taking care of the football. And when that happens, they 93 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: have every chance to win every single week with the 94 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: talent they have on this team. I do think there's 95 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: still a lot left in the tank in the run game. 96 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: I was disappointed to see that they didn't take that 97 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: step in the run game today. But Kyler Murray's throwing 98 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: the football well, taking care of it. A couple times 99 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: where he's made some decisions where maybe it was a 100 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: ball behind, and again we can we can attribute that 101 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: to communication on the one to Trey McBride, or there's 102 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: one where he pulls it on a run play where 103 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 2: maybe he should have handed it off. Couple couple things 104 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: like that, But for the most part, he's played good 105 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: football the first two weeks. 106 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 4: He's given them a chance to win the game. 107 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: All right, let's check in now with some cardinal players. 108 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: Michael Wilson standing by with Paul. 109 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 4: Here we go, Michael Wilson one catch, one touchdown, new father. 110 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 4: We'll get to that in a moment. Just tell us 111 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 4: about tell us about that game was almost like two 112 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: games in one. It was Cardinals led twenty seven to three, 113 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 4: and then Cardinals hang on at the very end. 114 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I'm still trying to trying to 115 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 6: process what happened. I mean, did we scored coming out 116 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 6: of the half? You know it's twenty seven to three, 117 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 6: and I mean, if you don't, I felt like at 118 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 6: that point, I'm not gonna say the game felt like 119 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 6: it was ours, you know, just to be in four 120 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 6: minute the whole way. But it felt like like we 121 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 6: were playing really really good ball and defense was playing good, 122 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 6: especially teams was playing good. 123 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 5: Offense was playing good. 124 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 6: And then that's kind of the NFL is you know, 125 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 6: you never you can never be I guess too comfortable 126 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 6: in the NFL, regardless of being up or being down, 127 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 6: because a few plays here and there, and I mean 128 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 6: the momentum in the game completely switched. 129 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 4: I Mean, there's a reason why the vast majority of 130 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: NFL games are one score games. It just seems like 131 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 4: it always like comes back to the mean right. Tell 132 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 4: us about your touchdown and you mentioned the offense got 133 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 4: in gear. There's no doubt about it. Six plays, forty 134 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 4: five yards and forty seven seconds right before the half, 135 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 4: capped by your eleven yard touchdown. Tell us about the 136 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 4: play and just how it unfolded. 137 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, we just went five verts and Kyler told me 138 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 6: to make sure I take him out there and stretch 139 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 6: him on my release so I could build some width 140 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 6: between myself and the safety so if he needed to 141 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 6: throw the ball there he could. 142 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 5: And it played out exactly like how we talked about. 143 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 4: Did you know what sort of like as you're lining up, 144 00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 4: do you get a sense like this could hit? 145 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 5: Oh? 146 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 6: Yes, sometimes when you're getting the ball, you know that 147 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 6: it could that I have a real chance of getting 148 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 6: the ball. And then once I felt like I was 149 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 6: once the play start and I was three steps into 150 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 6: my route, I was like, Okay, I think the ball's 151 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 6: coming my way. 152 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 5: I think the ball's coming away. Once I put my left. 153 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 6: Foo in the ground and went vertical, I was I 154 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 6: was like, wait, the ball's coming to me. 155 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 5: The balls going to me. Just make the play and yeah, 156 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 5: catch touchdown? 157 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 4: What changed in the offense, and you guys came out 158 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: in the third quarter nine place, seventy one yards just 159 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: seemed like you found a rhythm. 160 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, you said, what changed in the third. 161 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: Quarter, just with the offense in general, maybe a slow star, 162 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 4: especially in the passing game. Then you guys got it 163 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 4: in gear second and third quarter. 164 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 6: I just think it's guys doing their one eleventh and 165 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 6: playing at a high level.

And you know, this team we 197 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 7: got a lot of fighting this you know obviously you know, 198 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 7: could have played whole lot better. You know, I don't 199 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 7: think it was our best ball. 200 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 4: Uh. 201 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 7: We had moments of a very good ball and then 202 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 7: moments where it was like what are we doing? But 203 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 7: I'll tell you like this though, you know, it's hard 204 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 7: to win an NFL and that team had a rolling 205 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 7: and everybody who plays football knows momentum is a big 206 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 7: part of it. And we found a way to stop 207 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 7: the bleeding and get a win. And I was a 208 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 7: huge team win. 209 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: Fourth down at the very end, what are you telling yourself? 210 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: You had the walk off sack, But how how did 211 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 4: you get there? 212 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 7: Well, my mind said was get a good get off, 213 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 7: get it, get get off. He's gonna have to hold 214 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 7: the ball because he needs to get the first down, 215 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 7: so he's not gonna throw it away, and just like 216 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 7: just keep staying a rush, stay alive in your rush, 217 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 7: use your hands and h you know, me and Xavan 218 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 7: almost collided because he was doing a power rush and 219 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 7: I was doing a field rush and we didn't really 220 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 7: communicate because it was kind of hurry up situation, and 221 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 7: so he almost moped me off. But then it end 222 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 7: up working in my favor because it looked like kind 223 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 7: of a game and I was able to power to 224 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 7: tackle and then he came back out, which made Bryce 225 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 7: kind of come back an inside to where I was 226 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 7: at free and you know, it's just a great play. 227 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 7: But you know, shout shot out to Zaven for just 228 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 7: being a smart player or to understanding how to protect 229 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 7: each other.

How is it 233 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 4: that the thirty nine year old guy is playing his 234 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 4: best ball at the end of the game. Has this 235 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 4: been a process for you to get in game shape, 236 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 4: because I remember you mentioned earlier in the offseason you 237 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 4: know where you need to be when so is that 238 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 4: all part of your process?

Is that a real glimpse at 264 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 4: this Cardinals defense. 265 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 5: Yeah? 266 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 7: We need more of that though, We need more of that, 267 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 7: you know, but I'll tell you, Josh Josh wat you know, 268 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 7: just to set the tone like that, to make a 269 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 7: play that that huge, you know, it's just as a 270 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 7: spectacular game for him, its spectait game for us, you know, 271 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 7: and just I mean we really we felt like we 272 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 7: didn't pass rush well enough the game before, so it 273 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 7: was a big emphasis all week and I felt like 274 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 7: we were much better rushing the pastor today. 275 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 4: You weren't here in Week sixteen last year they ran 276 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 4: for a whole bunch of yards. Yeah, oh you heard 277 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 4: all about it. So I mean how big was that 278 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: in the game plan? Stop Cheuba Hubbard, stop Bryce Young 279 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 4: from running the ball. 280 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a big part of the game plan. 281 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 7: I mean the coaches mentioned it quite a few times. 282 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 7: Some guys were a little upset that it was mentioned 283 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 7: so many times. I said, that's good. Use that, use 284 00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 7: it anger, that's what the coaches want. They want to 285 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 7: you know, stick it hit a nerve so that you 286 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 7: are more locked in and more focused on run game. 287 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 7: And I think you know and tell that like late 288 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 7: in the game when we were kind of the pass 289 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 7: rush mode and they would get some you know, some 290 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 7: a little bit of you know, four or five yards 291 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 7: here and there on on those run plays when we're 292 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 7: kind of pass rushing. Yeah, I think we did a 293 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 7: heck of a job stopping around. You know, a great 294 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 7: game plan, great execution, just you know, that was that 295 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 7: was a big part of, you know, what we need 296 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 7: to do to win. And they showed up. 297 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 4: I get it. They were in pass mode because they 298 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 4: were down. They had forty nine yards rushing as a team, 299 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: So you guys definitely checked that box. 300 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's NFL. You get under fifty spectacular, 301 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 7: spectacular for sure. 302 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 4: Well, you ended it, defense started it. So congrats all around. 303 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: Thanks for the time. Glass always a pleasure, maybe always 304 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 4: a pleasure. 305 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: There you go, guys, gotta love Kalais. So great to 306 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 3: have him back. Remember Mani Us and Ford saying when 307 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: they made the signing, Hey, we're not just doing this 308 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: to make a great story. We're doing this because Kalais 309 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 3: Campbell can still play. And we saw that at the end. 310 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: He definitely still has some juice, There's no question about it. 311 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 2: But I think beyond that you hear him talk, it's 312 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: the leadership. It's what he provides in the locker room 313 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: when guys are getting upset because the coaches are doing 314 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: something and the coaches always have a reason to do 315 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 2: something right, and when they do that to strike a nerve, 316 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: he's that voice. He's that calming voice. He's that guy 317 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: that can always guide the younger crowd. And he's a 318 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 2: phenomenal football player, but an even better locker room guy. 319 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 3: Speaking of the locker room, The Cardinals Locker Room Show 320 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 3: is presented by Tim Hovics, San tan Ford and Gilbert 321 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 3: Right on the Price Right on the corner of the 322 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 3: San Tantuo two Free We and Valvista, Tim Hovics, San 323 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,359 Speaker 3: tan Ford in Gilbert, Dave pash a Q Shipley here upstairs. 324 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon, the Cardinals head coach, is talking to the media. 325 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 3: He'll be with Paul kelvc after that. Twenty seven to 326 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: twenty two, the final score. Just looking at some of 327 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: the stats from the day. We Paul just talked about 328 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 3: the rush defense for the Cardinals. Offensively, James Conner held 329 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 3: to thirty four yards on eleven carries. He did have 330 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 3: a touchdown. Kyler Murray had a thirty yard run that 331 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 3: was just ridiculous. He threw for two twenty had a touchdown, 332 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 3: but also had that interception which kind of a shifted 333 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 3: momentum there in a bad way for the Cardinals. Trey 334 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 3: McBride had six catches seventy six yards. Just two catches 335 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 3: for Marvin Harrison in five targets. What are you seeing 336 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: there from Marvin Harrison Junior in the lack of production, Yeah. 337 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 4: I don't think. 338 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: I don't think it was anything. Listen. I think at 339 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: the end of the day, when you look at last week, 340 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: he was very involved in the game plan and sometimes 341 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: you have that sometime from week to week. That's just 342 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 2: the way the ball goes. And I think today I 343 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: think they really tried to hit the run game. It 344 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 2: wasn't great. So then we get back to the pass game, 345 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: and I think, honestly, the biggest thing you take away 346 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: from this is the fact that you get the touchdown 347 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: to Michael Wilson. 348 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 4: I think that's huge. 349 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: I think now we have we've proved that you can 350 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: go to somebody other than Marvin or Trey and okay, 351 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: here's another threat, right, And then then we start to 352 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: get Zay involved in the game plan, and then we 353 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: start to get some other guys involved in the game 354 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: plan in the past game. But I think with Marvin 355 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: it's just a it's a week to week thing. And 356 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 2: I think two catches obviously, you know, the drop I 357 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: think is the bigger concern. Right, Like, there's the one 358 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: play where it's rating his hands, it's a great route, 359 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: it's a great comeback, it's rating his hands, and he 360 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 2: drops it. I think that he would like to have 361 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 2: that one back. But you know, I think sometimes it's 362 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: just week to week. 363 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 3: Maybe the fade too, you could look back at that. 364 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: I'm sure the guys that are actually coaching him will 365 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: look at that with him and see, okay, is there 366 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: something he could have done differently there to come down 367 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: with that football and what looked like a good enough 368 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 3: throw by Kyler Murray. When you look ahead to next 369 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: week and just knowing Kyle Shanahan's offense, we talked about 370 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: the rush defense today. Assuming it's Mac Jones who played 371 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: very well today, the challenges against the scheme of Kyle Shanahan. 372 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 3: How different is that from what this defense has seen 373 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: week one and week two. 374 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: I think from week one to week two to now 375 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: going into week three, I think the biggest thing when 376 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: you see at Kyle Shanahan offense, it starts and ends 377 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: with the run. If you can stop the run, which 378 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: very few people we have been able to stop the run. 379 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: But if you can contain the run against the Kyle 380 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: Shanahan led team, I think you give yourself the best chance. 381 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: And I think, whenever you think of Mac Jones, he's 382 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: a first round talent, like there's no doubt about that. 383 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: And I think I mentioned this all the time. Scheme 384 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: and fit are everything. What was one man's trash might 385 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: be somebody else's treasure and we might see Mac Jones 386 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: play really well. And again they say that Brock party 387 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: might have a chance, But Christian McCaffrey is enemy number one. 388 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the guy. 389 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: It always starts and ends with him, whether it's the 390 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: run game, and you know, he was running routes today 391 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: and caught a pass like he looked like a receiver, 392 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: So you know it starts there. And I think when 393 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: you go into a game against Sanfra, and you know 394 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 2: it's going to be battle tested, right like, it's gonna 395 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: be run game, run game, run game, it's gonna be 396 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: you know, it's gonna be physical at the point of attack, 397 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: and I think those guys got to get ready for that. 398 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 3: So even with that, if you're the Niners and you're 399 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: looking at perhaps a banged up secondary, well let's let's 400 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: just go there. Denzel Burke, how did you think he did? 401 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: He came in, they did target him a few times. 402 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: He did have a couple pass breaks ups, breakups. He 403 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: had a penalty late, which you know kept the game going. 404 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: But how would you assess his game? 405 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: I thought there was some good and there was some bad, 406 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 2: right Like, it's a young player. I think you're gonna 407 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: see that, and especially unless people don't realize how hard 408 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 2: it is to be a backup in this league too, 409 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 2: when you are not expecting to be the every down 410 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 2: guy and then all of a sudden you're thrust into it, 411 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: and especially if you've been sitting around for an hour 412 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 2: or an hour and two, especially on the offensive line right. 413 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 2: But I think with him, he made some good plays. 414 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: He had some good PBUs, he came over the top, 415 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: made a nice play with his right hand on one time, 416 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: and then early in the game he gets undressed by 417 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: Team Mac and then then he gets the penalty late. 418 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: So I think there was some ups, there were some downs, 419 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: but you got to expect that with a young player. 420 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 3: Well again, it'll be interesting. We'll hopefully get an update 421 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: from JG on all the injured guys in the secondary. 422 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 3: Garrett Williams going down late on that last touchdown and 423 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 3: then needing to be helped off the field, Max Melton 424 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: with the injury in the first half, so forces are 425 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 3: depleted in a big way in the secondary going into 426 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 3: not just Week three, but then the quick turnaround as 427 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 3: a player going on the road knowing you have a 428 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 3: Thursday game. I know you're not thinking about that Thursday game, 429 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 3: but is that something that do coaches address that. Do 430 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: you guys talk about that in locker rooms when you 431 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 3: know you have the short week coming up, or are 432 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 3: you pretty much Hey, we're not even gonna discuss Thursday 433 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 3: at all. It's not gonna impact how we approach. 434 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: It, does not impact you and how you approach it whatsoever. 435 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 2: But the one thing, I always played my best games, 436 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: and I felt like as an offense, we always played 437 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 2: our best games Thursday night because you candense the game plan, 438 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 2: you eliminate a lot of the stuff, You make it 439 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 2: very simplistic, and when you do that, you get guys 440 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 2: to play fast and you can go out and you 441 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 2: have a clear plan of attack. This is how we're 442 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: gonna do things, and we just get after it. And 443 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 2: I think Thursday, because it's all walked through all week, 444 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: you can hone in on getting your body right, details, 445 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 2: all that type of stuff, and then just go play 446 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: fast and you'll. 447 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,719 Speaker 3: Get back late Saturday night after that game. But man, 448 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 3: it'd be amazing if they could somehow get through those 449 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 3: two games and come out with two more wins to 450 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 3: get to four and O. But let's first things first, 451 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 3: figure out what happened here at the end. And JG 452 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 3: is standing by with Paul. 453 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 4: Win is a win. Congrats coach. Do you want to 454 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 4: begin with the start of this game or do you 455 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 4: want to start with the finish of this game? 456 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 8: Well, you know, I just told it. I told the 457 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 8: team and I told the media. I got I got 458 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 8: to do a better job coaching the team here how 459 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 8: to close out games because that that I thought we 460 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 8: had chances to close it out and not, you know, 461 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 8: come down to a gotta have it on defense there 462 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 8: where that game was and about the middle of the 463 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 8: third quarter. So you know, obviously happy for the win 464 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 8: to and oh but we got a long way to 465 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 8: go and we got a lot to learn, and I 466 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 8: got to do a better job. Starts with me, all. 467 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 4: Right, Well let's go to the beginning. Starts with a 468 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 4: defensive touchdown. Just tell us about the two takeaways. I 469 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 4: know that was near the top of your to do 470 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 4: list this week, right. 471 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, we want to take away battle two one, I think, right. Yeah, 472 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 8: So I thought that was good. Defense came out humming. 473 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 8: I thought they executed well and ball aware it was. 474 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 8: It was a great way to start the game there. 475 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 4: When you got the baron interception. Is that evident? So 476 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 4: what you've been talking about when you can affect the 477 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 4: quarterback right start tipping footballs and get those up. 478 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 8: Into the Yeah, absolutely, you know. I mean that's that's 479 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 8: how they got theirs too, you know, kind of got 480 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 8: deflected as he's as he's you know, throwing it, you know, 481 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 8: up balls up in the air. Those got to be 482 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 8: converted to take aways as many times as we can, 483 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 8: so you know, it was just a good job by 484 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 8: those guys hunting the ball, being ball aware and affecting 485 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 8: the quarterback earlier. I thought then kind of you know, 486 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 8: got into a weird spot there in the third quarter 487 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 8: with where the score was and how we kind of 488 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 8: chose to play, and we got to look at that 489 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 8: and make sure that we're doing the right things. But truthfully, 490 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 8: at the end of the game, I thought we affected 491 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 8: the passer again, you know, and we were just four 492 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 8: man rushing there. I thought the D line and the 493 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 8: outside linebers did a really good job to close out 494 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 8: that game. 495 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 4: We just had Kaleis Campbell. He had the walkoff sack. 496 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 4: He also had another sack in the fourth quarter. It's 497 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 4: a great story. But he's still a great player, isn't he. 498 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 8: He's a really good player. I thought he played his 499 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 8: butt off today. I thought in the run hand pass game, 500 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 8: he was excellent. 501 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 4: You know, it's amazing to may the young guys quote 502 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 4: Kalais and they mentioned a lot of guys, how you 503 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 4: know what last week, week one, that's the worst you're 504 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 4: gonna be all years of defense. Where do you think 505 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 4: you saw the biggest jump week one to week two 506 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 4: out on that field? 507 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, the takeaways, you know, so that's the first 508 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 8: thing I'm always going to look for. And then sometimes 509 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 8: you know, they have an offense plays they don't give 510 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 8: you a lot of opportunities. But I think it's you know, 511 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 8: coaching our guys. We got a force opportunities, you know 512 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 8: what I mean, And you got to do that by 513 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 8: execution and playing violent. So I thought that was good. 514 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 8: You know some other I thought the run game looked 515 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 8: really good. Now they didn't run it because they got 516 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 8: down there in the middle of the third a bunch, 517 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 8: but in the first half we were getting it to 518 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 8: known pass a good amount. So the run game looked good. 519 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 8: So we'll look at it and there's gonna be a 520 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 8: lot of a lot of things that we have to improve, 521 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 8: but ultimately got it done. 522 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, Carolina had a dozen yards rushing as a team 523 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 4: at half forty nine on the game. And I get it, 524 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 4: they were down it was a pass in the second half, 525 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 4: But what sort of emphasis did you put on not 526 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 4: only stopping Chewb Hubbard but the Bryce Young run games? 527 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 7: All right? 528 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 8: Well, you know, they had five drives in the first half, 529 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 8: and you know, I think it was you know, sack, fumble, touchdown, interception, 530 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 8: field goal, pump, punt so and I think the point 531 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 8: to that is is they didn't get their run game 532 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 8: going and we and we kept them behind the sticks, 533 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 8: which then you can affect the pass or you got 534 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 8: more at your disposal when it's non pass. So you know, 535 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 8: that was a huge key for us going into this game, 536 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 8: was making sure that we kept it on second and long, 537 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 8: third and long, and you do that by killing the run. 538 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 7: So that was good. 539 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 4: We had Michael Wilson. You obviously had the touchdown catch 540 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 4: right before halftime. That was a six play, forty five 541 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 4: yard drive and forty seven seconds. Then you open the 542 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 4: third quarter nine plays, seven million yards and five and 543 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 4: a half. What started clicking on offense? 544 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought, you know, we were I felt like 545 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 8: the second drive, you know, we had some penalties there. 546 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 8: You know, we got to stay away from negative plays 547 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 8: just vice versa the defense. Make sure we stay on schedule. 548 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 8: And then when you can call runs and passes different 549 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 8: play types, you should be in the driver's seat. We 550 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 8: got the people to do it. So, you know, like 551 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 8: I said, I thought that we ended the two minute 552 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 8: really well through the touchdowns, big time play Kyler and Mike. 553 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 8: Really good call by Drew because that's you know, where 554 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 8: that ball was. It's really got to go to the 555 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 8: end zone or nothing, so you know, you ensure a 556 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 8: field goal, and that was a really good play call 557 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 8: for the look that we got X great execution. Then 558 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 8: we come out of half and go a ten play 559 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 8: driving a touchdown and we look like we're in the 560 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 8: driver's seat there, and we just got to do a 561 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 8: better job closing out games all three phases, all three phases. 562 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kyler the thirty one yard run as well, just 563 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 4: as classic Kyler's electric. Yeah, he also had the red 564 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 4: zone interception. Is there a lesson to be learned there? 565 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 7: Yeah. 566 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 8: I don't know if he was trying to throw it 567 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 8: away or make it a play there, but I think 568 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 8: just the lesson for me is, you know, he's he's 569 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 8: so he plays chess, not checkers, which with field position 570 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 8: and taking sacks. But I think we're in field goal range. 571 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 8: We just got to look at it and make sure 572 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 8: he knew we're in field goal range. But yeah, the 573 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 8: value of the ball is real. They made a hell 574 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 8: of a play. That happens the. 575 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 4: Very Tedrow McMillan in the second half until the very 576 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 4: very end really was a non factor. Were there some 577 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 4: adjustments made mid game on their star receiver. 578 00:23:59,800 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 6: No. 579 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 8: I thought our corners just played good, you know what 580 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 8: I mean? I thought, uh matched up pretty good. He 581 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 8: had the one explosive early in the early in the game. 582 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 8: You know that, Uh that's the one that Max got 583 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 8: hurt on. But uh, yeah, I thought we did. He's 584 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 8: a good player, man, and that's that's a good trigger 585 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 8: guy back there. If you let him clean back there, 586 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 8: he can dice you up. So I thought we did overall, 587 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 8: did a good job. But you know, like I said, 588 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 8: the story of this one to me is is we 589 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 8: got to all three phases. I got to coach him 590 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 8: up better so we can close out games. 591 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: And last question, I know a lot of us are wondering, 592 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 4: including fans Max mel Garrett Williams, Will Johnson, where are 593 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 4: you in the cornerback room right now? 594 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 6: I don't know. 595 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 8: We'll see, we'll see. I thought, you know, I thought 596 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 8: Denzel came in played, he played early, he played pretty well, 597 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 8: you know, and then Key Treill came in and it's 598 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 8: you know, got to have the time and makes a 599 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 8: couple of plays. So that was a positive to see. 600 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 8: We'll see where we're at. I know Garrett Max both 601 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 8: at knees. We'll see what that looks like. And I 602 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 8: think Will ended up having a groin so played a 603 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 8: lot of snaps. But uh, this life in the NFL. 604 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 8: So hopefully we'll get him back healthy and if they're not, 605 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 8: other guys step up and play their roles. 606 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 4: Okay, congrats, thank you, guys, thank you. 607 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 3: Well, look, that's what great leaders do in that situation. 608 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: They say, look, I've got to be better. And I'm 609 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 3: sure you could say that everybody has to be better, 610 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 3: but ultimately, an aqu your player, it's about the players. 611 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 3: You've got to you've got to be better down the stretch, 612 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 3: and if something goes wrong, you got to put that 613 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 3: aside and overcome it. And the Cardinals last year had 614 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: trouble doing that, had trouble closing out games and obviously 615 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 3: trouble here at today. But I'm sure JG. He told 616 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 3: the team, he told the media that's what leadership is about, 617 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 3: and he's showing it right there. Yeah, no doubt. 618 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it's always about the Jimmy's and the Joe's, 619 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 2: not the x's and the o's. That's what That's what 620 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: they always used to say, and it's it's so true. 621 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: Good players make good coaches, right, And I think obviously 622 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: kalai is right there, makes a play and now you 623 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 2: make everybody look great, right, But I think then there's 624 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: other plays where maybe not the smartest play, but coach 625 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: does a great job. Hey, that's me. 626 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 7: That's on me. 627 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the blame in the media. But there 628 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 2: will be different there will be different conversations behind closed doors, 629 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. 630 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 3: Well, the albatross that is the Carolina Panthers finally goes down. 631 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: The Panthers have dominated this series for whatever reason the 632 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 3: last twenty years. They were six and two in Arizona 633 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 3: until today, and they had a chance to win the 634 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 3: game at the end. Thankfully Kalaias Campbell came to the 635 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 3: rescue and the Cardinals win this game twenty seven to 636 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 3: twenty two.
