13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,080

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: and nobody. Here's Paul Calvic. Remember how we started last week. Gentlemen,

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: when people say hey, how you doing? Are you doing?

16
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: They don't really mean it. They don't want it a real,

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: truth to life, detailed answer. They just want you to

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: nod and say great and keep going. Especially at six

19
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: and Ozo, there's no such thing as a champagne problem.

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: Even all right, Larry fitzjod, if you're listening right now,

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 1: go ahead text me if you miss the champagne problems

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: from the media, because we'll certainly give them to you.

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: But you have see that's my new go to right now.

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: At six and oh, Paul Calvecier joined by Darren Urban

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: Felipe A. Corral Jr. When people ask, hey, how's it going?

26
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Three words, no legitimate complaints. The operative word there is legitimate.

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: At six and oz, you're six and o on coin tosses,

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: there are no legitimate complaints. Although moments ago I got

29
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: real close when I noticed Darren Urban has some sort

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: of custom designer sock. And then, because it can always

31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: get worse, it just did because then Felipe Corral Junior

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: just weighed in and showed me his custom socks. But

33
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: see he's got real custom so those are really his dog.

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: These are just off the rack with my tope top

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: hat and pipe on them. Those are like doctor Sue socks,

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: the top hat and the only thing missing there is

37
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: the cat in the hat. Well, and then what do

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: you have? You have a dog, So my dog, I

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: have a Labrador that's what I'm saying. It's actually his

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: dog dad something more Lando would put together, quite frankly,

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: something I've been saying for more than twenty years. Okay,

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: that if you want to make a million dollars, the

43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: quickest way to a million is off the backs in

44
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: the wallets of pet owners. Is that not further verified

45
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: by the fact that Felipe has custom socks of his labrador.

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: I gotta say time out here, Paul. You've been saying

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: for twenty years you can make a million dollars by

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: doing this, and you're sitting here with us every every

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: idea fairly certain you're not making a million dollars. No,

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying if you could, if I'd actually get off

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: my rear end and think of something innovative to fleece

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: pet owners, then I would make a million dollars by

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: the end of next week. When people are selling pet

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: owners custom socks with the likeness of their pet onness.

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Does does this mean you're not a pet owner? Oh

56
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: my god, I have been in the past, I'm not

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: currently and I am I'm in the same pot. What

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: would you put on your stocks if you have some?

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: That's what it would be a car, wouldn't it sixty

60
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: seven Shelby? Yeah, sure, you know four twenty seven King

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: in the Road. Wolf say you had like six cars? No, No,

62
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I had the garage space. You know,

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: if I had a compound like Wolf, I would certainly

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: have six cars. But I don't have the space that

65
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Wolf has over there, you know. I mean, first of all,

66
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: I can't even get behind the gated community today is

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: silver Leaf where Wolf Lee lives. So I can't you know,

68
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: good luck with that, you know, I gotta say, guys

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: that it's uh we can say you talk about legitimate

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: gripes and like there are none, but go ahead for

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: all for all the bad things that COVID has brought us.

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean we're like literally now we have a couple

73
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: of walls and some uh some soundproof glass between us,

74
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: but we're literally just what fifteen feet away from an

75
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: actual NFL meeting going on right now, and the other

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: side of the door outside there's a Position group meeting.

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: You have a better angle flipe. They actually have a

78
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: digital board outdoors right now and they're they're holding a

79
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: meeting outdoors outdoors, And I don't really want to disclose it. No, you,

80
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: we're not disclosing anything, but but it is kind of

81
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: cool though, Like because of COVID, they they're outside and

82
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: like having a positional meeting and let's hopefully hopefully that

83
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: meets they're staying safe because do a headcount who's out

84
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: there and who isn't. That's honestly, all I saw when

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: I came in here through the sliver of the glass

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: that I could see was a pair of legs, and

87
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: they were definitely football player legs. But other than that,

88
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't really the legs of zach Ertz. Perhaps maybe would.

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't like about that is it gives me a

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: lot of twenty twenty vibes because remember last year when

91
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: we were in full basically into that does Yeah, because

92
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: the fact that head coach missed this past game with

93
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: COVID didn't give you enough of those added to the list,

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: Daron just yet in another it's another example, right, flip a,

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 1: come on exactly, But it just gives me twenty twenty vibes.

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, you don't

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: necessarily want to see your players outside due to the weather.

98
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: I don't know whether, but yeah, that's true. You know,

99
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. Do you think Baker Mayfield has

100
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: a right to complain. I'm just gonna throw this out there,

101
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: because you know, we like to say it can always

102
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: get worse. If you saw a good Morning football this

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: morning on NFL Network, I mean, you're Baker Mayfield. You

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: just lost to your former college teammate again. You got

105
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: sacked five times, you turn the ball over three times,

106
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: you got shut out in the second half, you got

107
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: sacked by J. J. Watt, and then your shoulder popped out.

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: You're writhing in pain on the wet grass right by

109
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: the way. You have to play Thursday night. Whether you're

110
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: going to play or not, we'll see. But now you

111
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: have the postgame presser, because you're the starting franchise quarterback,

112
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: you have to answer the questions, and so you have

113
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: your arm in a sling, You have a white T

114
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: shirt on, and because ostensibly you want to cover up

115
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: the sling from the cameras, you throw on a sport

116
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: code and you get out there. You see his look. Yes,

117
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: it was disheveled at best, and it was definitely one

118
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: of guy of a guy that I know I've got

119
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: to be here, but I really don't right which you

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: could read on his face as well as as the outfit.

121
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: But then on the NFL network, and I love the show,

122
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: I really do. I love the energy, I love the passion.

123
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: Good morning football. Yes, they take their football seriously without

124
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: taking themselves too seriously. It's everything I aspire to be exactly.

125
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: Yet they're debating his postgame attire with a graphic right

126
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: across the bottom that says Baker's postgame attire are we

127
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: in or are we out? Dude? Isn't going a little

128
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: too far at that point? Don't you think he has

129
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: a lot bigger problems to worry about then what he's

130
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: wearing to the postgame presser at that moment. Well, wasn't

131
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: his first response when somebody asked how he felt that,

132
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: I feel like starts with an S and we won't

133
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: say it. Yes, yes it was a four letter word.

134
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: And then later he took a shot at the NFL.

135
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: He worked in a shot at the NFL for a

136
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: seventeen game season that he's gonna have to play. I

137
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: mean I missed that part once again. That's a that

138
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: is a paid problem at this point, Baker. So that's

139
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: why that's where I don't necessarily feel bad for him

140
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: because now you're taking shots at the league and now

141
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: you have your own segment that has nothing to do

142
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: with football on one of the top shows of NFL

143
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: right where you can even at a national level, when

144
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: you hear people talk about the Cardinals, they always bring

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: in like, oh, well, Baker Mayfield was injured and they

146
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: didn't have this, and they didn't have this, And at

147
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: some point I stopped feeling bad for him. That's fair.

148
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: You sound like J. J. Watt and the sidelines. Oh yeah,

149
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: when the NFL Films microphones caught him and what was

150
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: he saying on the sidelines? He was didn't you say

151
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: something along the lines of like they find every reason

152
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: not to give us credit. You know this, this players

153
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: in ja, this team is not completely blah blah blah.

154
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: And how about we're just better than the other team, right,

155
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: and and that's that's fair. Which always it's always incredible

156
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: how NFL Films gets I mean, I feel like there's

157
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: times when we have some good mic stuff, stuff that

158
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: we aren't we don't get to use, and then NFL

159
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Films gets to put some of that stuff out there.

160
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: But uh, you know what, and I we've talked about

161
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: this before. Who gives a flying fig about power rankings?

162
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: I really really don't you know what this might be

163
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: the only legitimate complaint. See, I don't even care about

164
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: the power rankings itself. It's just this idea that this

165
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: team hasn't shown enough yet. I'm like, exactly what what

166
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: do you got to show? I mean, I don't I

167
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: don't know what else there would be. I'm not denying

168
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: that the Browns game was potentially a little bit easier

169
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: because of who the Browns were missing, But God knows

170
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: that it could have been easier for the Cardinals had

171
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: they had all their people, and they still found a way.

172
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I will say this, I was

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: on a roller coaster last week in terms of how

174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: I thought that game was going to go, and the

175
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: way they played, and the way they performed without Cliff

176
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and the way that defense was even with the

177
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: hail Mary mixed in. I mean, I am, I am

178
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: somebody who's one hundred percent in on this team right now,

179
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens with other injuries and certain

180
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: guys have to stay. Okay, It's funny I asked after

181
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: the game about where you guys ever kind of, you know,

182
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: mentally shaken because of the people getting lost, and Kyler's like,

183
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: it's funny. He goes. I was talking to the quarterbacks

184
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: and Cam Turner on Friday, saying it would suck if

185
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: one of us got COVID and then Cliff and Cam

186
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: got it, and I'm thinking to myself, look, I'm not

187
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna lie, and this is a little bit about how

188
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: the sausage is made. And I had to write a

189
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: spur of the moment. Missed my first segment on my

190
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: radio on the radio show that I'm on on Sunday

191
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: because I was having to write and post the Corey

192
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: Peters is out on So I missed the first segment.

193
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: But Saturday night in my room and nobody said anything.

194
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: This is just me trying to be prepared best I could.

195
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: I wrote a short story saying Kyler was going to

196
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: miss the game Sunday, just in case. I woke up

197
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: Sunday and some he said the quarterback tested positive and

198
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: I want to be ready. No he wasn't. He never

199
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: tested positive. Nobody said, be aware. I'm not trying to

200
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: throw out some rumor. This is me trying to prepare

201
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: and think ahead. Of what would be the biggest story

202
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning that could still happen that I would

203
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: want to be absolutely prepared for. And that was the one.

204
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: Thank god it didn't happen, but it crossed my mind.

205
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: That's beyond button up. By the way, I'm more than

206
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: impressed already pictured Darren in his room knocking on wood,

207
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: because we all know he believes in in jinks, and

208
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't blame in jinks. I just believe him being

209
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: prepared for already. I can already picture you in your

210
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: hotel room just knocking on Well let's let's again, let's

211
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: let's not get into Darren in his hotel room. This well,

212
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: this is this is something we don't need to go.

213
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: Cam Turner spoken into existence apparently on that Friday. So

214
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, Darren, if if he would have gotten COVID Kyler,

215
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: now we would have blamed you, just to let you know. So, um,

216
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: you know it's not funny how you shared that story

217
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: after Kyler tested negative. So there's no blame whatsoever. We

218
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, but seriously, um, that really must a weight

219
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: on your mind. If you actually sat down and hammered

220
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: that out in your laptop, well, I mean again, that's

221
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: a big enough story that you would want that up

222
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: as soon as humanly possible, and you don't know how

223
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: this is going to come down. I didn't know if

224
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: if a player tested positive Sunday, if it was going

225
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: to be something that I was going to get a

226
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: little bit of a heads up on, which fortunately I was.

227
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: It was only about five ten minutes. But I'm good

228
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: enough at what I do, pount myself on the back

229
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: that I can get something ready in that short amount

230
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: of time. But it was possible that I would have

231
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: found out with the rest of the world when something happened,

232
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: and if it was something like Kyler, I wanted to

233
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: have a story predicted. It's a little bit like and

234
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: this sounds a little gruesome, but this is life in writing.

235
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: It's it's a little bit like having the having the

236
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: oldbituary written ahead of time. You know, all these famous

237
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: people out there in the world, once they start getting

238
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: a little bit older, all the newspapers and all these

239
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: all the big media out let's already have obituaries written.

240
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: Probably not for you, Paul, but like that, I got

241
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: that going for me. But there are there are obituaries

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: written for a lot of people long before they pass away,

243
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: just in case they do that, you're ready to go.

244
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: Although you still miss the first segment of the radio

245
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: show Darren, so maybe you shouldn't pat yourself on the

246
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: back with both hands, you know, No, let's talk about

247
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: that later. You miss giving big props to Jim Mjundro

248
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: as well, because I thought he was going to freak

249
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: out a little bit more when I told him that

250
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: he did, so, thank you, Jim. I'm curious enough, do

251
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: you guys is that going to get go through your

252
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: guys's head? Like as soon as Cliff king very test

253
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: is positive positive and Kem turned to test positive, do

254
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: you guys start thinking about oh boy, kind of maybe maybe? Yeah,

255
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: it did go through my head. I at first when

256
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: you just said do you guys ever think about it?

257
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say about us dying,

258
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: which but but yeah, I when when the head coach

259
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: and the quarterbacks coach test positive Friday and height, absolutely,

260
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: the first thing I thought of is like, oh crap,

261
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: Kyler could very well happen. Hey Man's Joseph's said it

262
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: to the media. He was shocked. It wasn't worse. They're

263
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: one more COVID positives. Think of all the time these

264
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: guys are spending together behind the scenes, in close quarters.

265
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: They're all vaccinated. But obviously these are all breakthrough cases.

266
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: So how did you feel, Paul climbing on that charter

267
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: flight Saturday. You know, you're not a big germ guy,

268
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: So normally I feel okay. Now when my seat assignment

269
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: was that much closer to on Wolfully, normally on the

270
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: way out there's a seat between us. But because I

271
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: had to sit next to Wolf, and the seat on

272
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: the aisle then was taken and so forth. Yeah, I

273
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: got a little nervous at that point, and I thought, um,

274
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I go up and ask their different

275
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: seat assignment. But at that point I didn't want to

276
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: be a you know, more of a problem than you know.

277
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: At that point, they just asked me to leave the

278
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: charter if I come up with any sort of that's right,

279
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: any sort of high maintenance you know. Um. By the way,

280
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: and these power rankings, it does depend on which power

281
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: ranking you're looking at. Yep NFL dot com Cardinals are

282
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: back in the number one spot, and it reads here's

283
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: a short clip from there's some Murray and I quote

284
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals are six and oh for the first time since

285
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four is shown they can beat their opponents

286
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: in numerous ways. None of this feels like a fluke

287
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: end quote. I think we're all anybody who was watched

288
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: every snap of Arizona Cardinals football twenty twenty one, like

289
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: we all have, you have to agree with that. Yes,

290
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals can beat opponents in different ways. You can't

291
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: come in and take away Kyler's legs or take away

292
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: d Hop with double and triple coverage and beat this

293
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: team like a year ago. You can't do it. And

294
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: then number two, none of this feels like a fluke. Hello,

295
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: they have four road wins among their six wins, three

296
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: of them against marquee teams with Super Bowl aspirations, and

297
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: they've been dominant. They easily could have been worse than

298
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: twelve plus point wins. All of them were, if not worse,

299
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: on the road. Agree with that. I mean the body

300
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: of work, how it's turned out. You know. Unfortunately we

301
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: are only or us in a year removed from the

302
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: Steelers being eleven and oh and falling apart. And I

303
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: don't know if this has anything to do with anything,

304
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: but I mean that team was built and they had

305
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: no running game, which is not true of the Cardinals.

306
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: And it had a quarterback who was older and had

307
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: a chance to break down. And you know, if Kyler

308
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: gets hurt, he gets hurt. But that's like true with

309
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: any team. Asked the Seahawks right now, how the season

310
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: changes when your quarterback gets hurt. But I mean, Kyler's

311
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: not going to break down because he's old, and I

312
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: agree with that. I think there are two reasons why

313
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: there are still non believers in the power poll haters.

314
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: Number one, it's of the Cardinals doing It's the reality

315
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: of what happened last year. Yeah, that's fair. They started

316
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: six and three and then they flamed out. So you

317
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: know what, people have been burned. Maybe there were believers

318
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: in bandwagon jumpers a year ago and then boom, that

319
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: hand got a little too close to the flame. And

320
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: this year they're putting on the oven mitt and they're

321
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: staying away because they got burned a year ago. Agreed,

322
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: of course. But see I always go back to Week one,

323
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: and I think Week four and then yes, last week's

324
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: or Sundays win because you saw the Titans beat the Bills.

325
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: If there's a team that was in front of the

326
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals and most power rankings, it was the Bills. So

327
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: the Titans beat the Bills. You go on the road,

328
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: you dominate the Titans. Then you beat the Rams, and

329
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: you see, you know how they've fared since that loss.

330
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: You see how the Bucks have been playing, and the

331
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: Rams beat the Bucks. And I just don't care why

332
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: people are so reluctant to just giving them credit. I

333
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: mean there's that saying give credit, where to do it?

334
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: I truly don't understand it, because even last year, if

335
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: you want to make that case, if you want to

336
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: put put on the oven mitt, I mean, the Cardinals

337
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: didn't start six and all last year. I mean they

338
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: started at four and two, or they started two and two,

339
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: and even then people weren't necessarily talking about them, So

340
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: I get the true it was a roll across the

341
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: rod last year. They didn't go straight up out of

342
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: the gates. And just I just don't care why people

343
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: don't look at the numbers, they don't look at the games.

344
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: I know a lot of these X players that are

345
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: now analysts go back and watch film, like I truly

346
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: don't get it, because they've been so dominant. You already

347
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: mentioned that you can't necessarily, you know, just take away

348
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and you're gonna beat the Errors and the Cardinals.

349
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: You can't take away the Kylimer's legs and you're gonna

350
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals. There's so many ways that they've been

351
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: winning in There's so many analysts at the national level

352
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: that we're ex players, and I just I'm trying to

353
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: see what they don't see. Okay, I'll try and answer that.

354
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Do you do March Madness? Sleep Agin said, Okay, Darren,

355
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: this is for you as well, because you're a big

356
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: basketball guy. It's amazing. Darren just put down his phone

357
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: because I mentioned basketball. He's no, He's now got I've

358
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: never got one hundred percent undivided attention. It's sort of

359
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: like my fourteen year old at home. I promise you.

360
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: When I pick up my phone, I'm typing in our

361
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: subjects so I can write up our little description of

362
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: the podcast. Right. So, here's my theory. The Cardinals right

363
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: now are so like that mid major. When it comes

364
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: to selection Sunday during March Madness, they're gonna get a

365
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: high seed. There are a lot of people nobody wants

366
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 1: to play them. But when it comes to discussion on

367
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: the big network TV shows. It all revolves around Duke,

368
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Kentucky, the blue bloods, right the provens, the

369
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Super Bowl champions who are in

370
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: the NFC with Tom Brady, the go the Aaron Rodgers

371
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: and Green Bay Packers of the world who right around

372
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: the corner will get to them, you know. And then

373
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: there's the big market teams, the La Rams and Sean

374
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: McVay and his Energizer Bunny commercial. Oh no, it's the

375
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: super commercials. Whatever it is, it's the same. It's so

376
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: like Energizer Bunny meets super Commercial. And and you have

377
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys who are this big black hole of

378
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: media attention. They just suck all this media attention away

379
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: from the Cardinals. So it's those four teams that I think, combined,

380
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: not only are creating this vacuum of media attention away

381
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: from the Arizona Cardinals, Bud, they have some proven blue

382
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: blood winners like the Duke's North Carolinas and Kentucky's that

383
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: people are more apt to get on with once they

384
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: fill out their bracket sheets. Over here, right, I thought

385
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: though that you'd have a little Kyler Steph Curry bounce

386
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: from from the quarterback. In terms of how people would

387
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about him, I thought some of that

388
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: would change a little bit with Kyler Murray. You got

389
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: you got some star power on this team with JJ

390
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: Watt and Hop and Kyler and um. But if people

391
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: are gonna put their harder money down on Davidson, yeah, yeah,

392
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: that's fair. Look, I honestly, I don't really care. And

393
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: in some ways it it's it's funny my kids. My

394
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: kids have always cared about that stuff. They hate it

395
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: when they turn on national stuff and the teams that

396
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: they follow, which are the local teams, are playing well

397
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: and don't get a lot of run. They can't stand that. Um,

398
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: I just don't care. And in some ways, the way

399
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: this team is built, it's probably to their advantage because

400
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: the less media attention they get, the more orner they

401
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: probably think about it. And to less media attention means

402
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: less media attention. You can say you're not paying attention

403
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: to this if you're a player, but if everybody starts

404
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: patting you in the back and saying, oh, you're absolutely

405
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: the best team in the league, then how do you

406
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: not start thinking that at least a little bit. And

407
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: let's face it, guys, they're they're not getting as much

408
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: attentions as if the Buccaneers were undefeated perhaps, or the

409
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: Cowboys were undefeated, perhaps, but it's not like they're getting

410
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: no attention. And they're gonna be, you know, barring something crazy,

411
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be seven and o going into a nationally

412
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: televised Thursday night game against a one or two lost

413
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: Packers team, probably a one loss team. They're gonna get

414
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: plenty of attention next week after this Texans game, assuming

415
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: they win this game. I'm gonna read the summary from

416
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: the SI Power rankings, Darren, tell your kids not to

417
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: go to the sipower. SI Power rankings are a little bit.

418
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: Cardinals are number seven. Did I see that? Right? Their

419
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: number seven behind all the teams I just mentioned, plus

420
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: the Bills. And anyway, here's here's the right up. Tell

421
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: me when they're wrong. I'm gonna quote it. You have

422
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: to feel great about the defense talking about the Cardinals

423
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: as well as the individual play at Kyler Marie and

424
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. What's worrisome, they write in SI is an

425
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: offensive system that requires the quarterback to maintain an MVP

426
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: level over seventeen games. Okay, I'll stop it right there.

427
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: We didn't see Kyler played an MVP level against the

428
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and they found a way to win

429
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: those numerous ways to win that we said earlier. Okay,

430
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: we can back up real quick. Sure, give me an

431
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: offense that isn't requiring the quarterback to play at a

432
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: high level. If Tom Brady doesn't play at a m

433
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: VP level, or the Buccaneers any good, no, if Aaron

434
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers doesn't play at an MVP level, are the Packers

435
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl? I almost said a really

436
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: bad word there. Oh, what do we say last week

437
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks? Russell Wilson has heard get a lost

438
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 1: Sunday night football football? So I can interrupt, but I

439
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: had I had a right Okay, So felipe, here's how

440
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: they continue. They've been great. So see, there's always this

441
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: sort of kind of backhanded compliment and then here comes

442
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: the reality check, at least from SI. But they've also

443
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: been fortunate along the way. The Cardinals are converting a

444
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: lot of third and very longs while also stopping opponents

445
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: on fourth downs at an unsustainable rate. Ten or fourteen

446
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: so far, they've stopped, and in the last two games

447
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: they stopped him seven out of nine combined. When the

448
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: opponent keeps going for it on fourth down. They cite

449
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: that the league average usually hovers around fifty percent to

450
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: cal order guard right this by the way, because there's

451
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: a lot of these coming back to the means and

452
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: some of that, you know, and so they say the

453
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals are such an outlier in some of these categories

454
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: so far that they're inevitably going to regress to the meeting. Well,

455
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: I will say this, when I read those parts and

456
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: the fourth down, the numbers say they aren't going to

457
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: continue to stop fourth downs at that rate, So I

458
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: am kind of interested to see where that goes. But

459
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: for fourth downs, a lot of times it only takes

460
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: one or two stops to really change a game. So

461
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: even if they come back a little bit, we'll see

462
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: the third and lungs. They have converted a lot of

463
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: third and lungs. But although I will say some of

464
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: those third lungs are converting are in the red zone

465
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: where they were gonna get three points anyways, and they

466
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: just happen to be converting to touchdowns. But is that

467
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: partially because your quarterback is so good. I think that's

468
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: part Yes, I will say this too, and I don't

469
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: know if it was mentioned. The fumbles are kind of

470
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: crazy right now, that fumbles. And here's the number. It

471
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: says the Arizona Cardinals have recovered eighteen of twenty three fumbles.

472
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: That's the expected fumble recovery rate for any team is

473
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: fifty percent. Yeah, however, a lot of those flumbles leased

474
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: in this last game, in particular, we're dropped snaps. Yeah,

475
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: so it's right there in his lap to pick up.

476
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: And that's true, but but you get you every time

477
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: you put the ball on the ground, there's that chance.

478
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: That is kind of a nutball number because fumbles are

479
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: always crazy. It's like anytime you evaluate a defense at

480
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: the end of the year and they have a lot

481
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: of fumble recoveries from the other team, you can only

482
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: give them so much credit. You can give them credit

483
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: for causing the fumbles, but for recovering them. It's so

484
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: much dumb A lot Kyler is not Daniel Jones. Daniel

485
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: Jones is, you know, fumbling these things away because he's

486
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: getting stripped, sacked from behind and he has no football awareness.

487
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a chronic problem. But wouldn't you

488
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: guys say that the reasons that they lay out are

489
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: the reasons why they should be at number one. I

490
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: mean they mentioned Kylin Murray's play, which he's been playing

491
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: at an MVP level, right, yep. They mentioned this defense

492
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: which again credits event jos of jj Watt and that

493
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: entire secondary that you know, heading into the season had

494
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. You mentioned all these conversions on

495
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: third down, like, aren't those all reasons why you should

496
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: be number one? I mean, that's it's Have you guys

497
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: ever seen a movie Minority Report with Tom Cruise? Probably

498
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: my sleep deparation years probably wiped on my memory. Okay,

499
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: so quick synopsis Minority Report. In the future, they have

500
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: this system with these empaths where they can basically arrest

501
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: people they know are going to commit a crime. That's right, Okay,

502
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: this one. They anticipate the crime, the crime has not

503
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: had yet happened. So it brings in that that ethical thing.

504
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: Can you arrest somebody who when they haven't even done anything,

505
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: even though you know they're going to do it. I

506
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: feel like Sports Illustrated is Minority Reporting the Cardinals. They're

507
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: saying all these things are going to revert to the means.

508
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: So we're going to rank them lower now because we

509
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: know this is going to happen. Well, that's whui, I mean,

510
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: come on, you can't do that. Look, Bill Parcels, you

511
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: are what your records say. You are absolutely right. When

512
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: Kyler converts to DeAndre Hopkins on third and nineteen, as

513
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: he did in that game, not only was that impressive,

514
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: he did it through a fierce, biting wind that was

515
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: swirling on that field. The expert teas and the acumen

516
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray, I want to run into Kyler and

517
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: ask him how the heck do were you so accurate

518
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: in that wind? It was unbelievable. I talked to Matt Prader.

519
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: He said, on the first field goal attempt, he literally

520
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: aimed at the right upright, knowing it was gonna just

521
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: go sheer left, and it did. Halfway up. It just

522
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: took off hard left and went through. It's like a

523
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: video game. You know. It's crazy the ability and the

524
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: experience and the acumended execute some of this stuff, and

525
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: they're not getting full credit from it, obviously from SI.

526
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: They go on to speaking of kicking, they say they're

527
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: the only team in football to have opposing kickers missed

528
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: three attempts inside fifty yards. Man, this guy did his

529
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: homework to try and find stuff wrong with the Cardinals,

530
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: one of two teams to have opposing kickers miss four pats.

531
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: I will say this about the guy. If you read

532
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: the intro to the whole thing, Yeah, he has a

533
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: line in there. It says basically he shouldn't pay attention

534
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: to this so anyway, so I'm just giving him. We'll

535
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: give him that. I read this in the intrigue. To me,

536
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: is trying to get a reality check? You know, are

537
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: we smelling ourselves? In the words of DJ Humphrey, He's

538
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: a year ago and what happened. So I'm trying to say, Okay,

539
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: what we're looking at is this real? Is this indeed sustainable?

540
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean my eyes and it says yes. Just watching

541
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: these things and then watching the mentality in the sideline

542
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: when you see JJ Watt. He was doing that the

543
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: entire game that NFL Films Club. He was stalking the

544
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: sideline before the game and I mentioned it to the

545
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: booth and I said, at my first report before kickoff,

546
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: the man was like seething. He was legitimately worked up

547
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: like I've never seen him going up and down the sideline.

548
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: And then Kyler said it after the game when he said,

549
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 1: you know what, in fact, here's the quote right here.

550
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: He said, I think we were even more excited talking

551
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: about the circumstances because the odds seems stacked against us.

552
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: This team seems to have that personality trait where if

553
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: there's a challenge, they welcome it, they feed off it,

554
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's why they've been so successful.

555
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean, going into that Rams game, a lot of

556
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: people obviously picked the Rams. Going into that Tennessee game,

557
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people were picking the Titans, and I

558
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: feel like they feed off of that. But even going

559
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: back to the whole point of why people are so

560
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: reluctant to even you know, put them number one based

561
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: off last year. Last year, they don't win this game.

562
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean last year, if you're without Kingsbury, without your

563
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: position coach, or you're without challenge Jones, you're not gonna

564
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: win this game on the road. A lot of the

565
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: games that they won this season, they're not gonna win

566
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: those games last year. So I just feel like a

567
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of these reporters, analysts or whoever's

568
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: analyzing the Cardinals are kind of contradicting themselves because they

569
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: always bring back last year. But then you fail to

570
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: look at this year and a lot of the games

571
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: that they've won this year. Let's see the Rams, they

572
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: don't win that game last year, Tennessee. They probably don't

573
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: even win that game last year. Of course against the Rounds,

574
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win that last year. So if you're

575
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna always bring back this hole, oh, we want to

576
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: be careful because we remember what have been in twenty twenty.

577
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: But then you're not necessarily paying attention to the ways

578
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: that they're winning. I mean they didn't. They didn't just

579
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: win by a field goal touchdown. I mean they went

580
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: on the road and they dominated. So well exasperated over there,

581
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: you just went minority report on this SI writer. Because

582
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: here's how he wraps up. You just hinted at it,

583
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: he says. His last His last stat that he cites

584
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: is that the Cardinals are top ten in offensive and

585
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: defensive red zone efficiency, typically a volatile stat. Unless you

586
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: have a Derrick Henry on your roster, you do. His

587
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: name is Kyler Murray. He's a unicorn, just like Derrick

588
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: Henry in many ways, he continues, it smells a bit

589
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: like the two twenty edition, albeit with a better defense.

590
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Now those are fighting words right there, if you're gonna

591
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: reference two twenty. And by the way, why is it

592
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: the Bills get credit for being one of two teams

593
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: to have a top five scoring offense and top five

594
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: scoring defense. The other team they are Zona Cardinals. No

595
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: one's a believer apparently in the sustainability of that. But

596
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: everyone's on board with the Bills. Now, of course, the

597
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 1: Bills made a deep run in the playoffs and they

598
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: have playoff victories. I get it. And the other thing

599
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: you brought up March madness earlier, that's I mean, the

600
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: great thing about the NCAA basketball tournament is we can

601
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: talk all day about who's what. If you're left standing

602
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: at the end, you get to say you're a champion.

603
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: And that's the same thing that's going to happen here.

604
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 1: And it won't take away from this team if they

605
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: don't win the Super Bowl, but they have a really

606
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: good season and win a playoff game or two. But

607
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: if they really want to shut everybody up, then they

608
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: gotta go win this stuff. And look, they're gonna play

609
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: the Rams again. They got this Packers game we're talking about,

610
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: They have to go to Dallas at some point. They

611
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: still have two games against Seattle, which is going to

612
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: be tough no matter what, and then Russell Wilson might

613
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: be back for both those games, so you know there's

614
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: going to be other tests. I've said it before, and

615
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm doing anything any disservice. They're not

616
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: going seventeen and oh. I don't even think I don't

617
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: even think it's a good thing to go seventeen and

618
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: O to really boost the pressure on them, to be honest.

619
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: But see, the thing that annoys me is obviously they're

620
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: gonna lose some games at some point in this season.

621
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean, unless, first whatever reason, they go undefeated. But

622
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't lose to the Packers because we don't want

623
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: to go to Green Bay and Lambeau in January for

624
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Do you not lose that tiebreaker? I'm sorry,

625
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: I just I had to board that up. But I mean,

626
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: I feel like as soon as they lose one of

627
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: those close games, if that happens, you just know they're

628
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna write about it. But why But here, I guess

629
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: ultimately this is this is my more mellow older age

630
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: that I've found in Philippe. So we are leaning back

631
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: in your chair. In the old days, you'd be standing

632
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: right now. And I tell my kids this when they

633
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: get upset, Like I said earlier, they get upset when

634
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: they don't get why do you give a crap? I mean,

635
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: what does it matter? You know, I know that the

636
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: players say that stuff, and I just I can't get

637
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: that worked up about it because on a weekly basis,

638
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: you get to show something. Well, we already saw it.

639
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: They stayed undefeated. They were the talk of the town,

640
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: the town being the at a found nation using cliche.

641
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: They were the talk of the town after they eat

642
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: up the Rams. Okay, a week later they still beat

643
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Wasn't sexy, And then all of

644
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, it was like they fell off the face

645
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: of the earth. Like I'm like, that was what really

646
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: kind of blew me away. I'm like, wait, just a

647
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: week ago they beat the Rams really badly and they

648
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: had one game where okay, they didn't like make it

649
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: super pretty, and it was like everything you did against

650
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: the Rams is totally gone already. And I guess I

651
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: don't understand that. But again, when I say I don't

652
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: understand it, that's pretty much as far as I go.

653
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm gonna talk about it on the podcast

654
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: because it's good fodder to talk about. But really, when

655
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: I saw that this morning about sports it or something

656
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: like yeah, we give a crap like Darren said, because hey,

657
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: we want the cloud man with cloud chasing. That's what

658
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: we're doing here. You know, if the team wins and

659
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: social media spoppin, we get out of the cloud, out

660
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: of the attention. You kind of, I guess I see that. Well,

661
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: what was everybody taking notes about the last you know,

662
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: seventy two hours leading up to that game, in the

663
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: game itself, because you know that's gonna be a cardinal

664
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: spoke Tales at some point already brought it up. Oh didn't.

665
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: He texted me the very next morning he says, I

666
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: can't wait till Cardinals Broadcasting does the Folk Tales episode

667
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: on the last the weekend or the week that was

668
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: before the Browns. And it's all the little tidbits. It's

669
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: little stuff like we found out during the Spencer Whipple

670
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: presser early this week when he mentioned stuff like um,

671
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: he had to figure out how to work the call button.

672
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: He said, before I could call the plays, I had

673
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: to figure out how to work the call button. I'm

674
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: the contraption on his belt right, Little things like that,

675
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: like they're on he's on the early early bus to

676
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: the game. And it's raining at this point. And by

677
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: the way, they did not have the tarp on the

678
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: field when it was raining and sleeting and haling, and

679
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: I really feared for the worst on that field. It

680
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: was a lot better than I thought it was gonna

681
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: be in terms of the attraction and way that that

682
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: field held well, I did. I did see you running

683
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: some gasters out there to test it out. So I

684
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: was about I say, did you test run? Did you

685
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: run a fifty year? No? But I wore my old

686
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: shoes because I knew what was happening. I brought it

687
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: literally got home. My wife was like, why are you

688
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: wearing those shoes? I go because it was a mess

689
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: on the field. Okay, that's a veteran tick. Took me

690
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: seventeen years to stop ruining shoes. Now I just wear

691
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: the old ones, so okay. Uh. And then he said

692
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: on the bust of the game, they were so amped

693
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: up and so worked up and they got their playsheet

694
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: right and it's not laminated. Yeah, and it's raining out.

695
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: Just a little funny tidbits like that. It was entertaining

696
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: to hear from Spencer Whipple because come on, now, he

697
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: can play it as cool and as calm as he wants.

698
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: And deb was Justin Pugh Scutter report that he is

699
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: a cool, calm, collected guy, unflappable as a word, Justin

700
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: Pugh used. And they try and mess with him and

701
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,479
Speaker 1: harass him when he does address the team during the

702
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: red zone meetings because he's a young guy. But uh,

703
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, come on, you can't. And he did admit

704
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: after the game he was still so amped up. He's

705
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: after the game, he'd give him back all the equipment

706
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: and he's still reaching for his belt and then and

707
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: the call button. He still he was like involuntarily reaching

708
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: muscle memory. It's it's like when you you you keep

709
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: thinking your phone is buzzing in your pocket, and really

710
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, but that's look I I you know,

711
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: I've gotten to know Spencer a little bit since he

712
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: came up, because I talked to him very early in

713
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: when he was on the staff because he was coaching

714
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: at U mass when Andy Isabella was there, so I

715
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: had talked to him, gotten to know him a little bit,

716
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: and he's a great guy, and I think it's very smart,

717
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: and obviously his father is a football coach and it's

718
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: something that he wants to do. And I was, like

719
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: everybody else, I was a little surprised that he was

720
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: the one that ended up doing it, but all when

721
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: it really comes down to it, and I would like

722
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: to hear Cliff's thought process when he comes back. But

723
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: whether Close's gonna give us this thought process is another story.

724
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: But but it was interesting. It does make some sense

725
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: that he's that guy and you leave everybody. It reminded

726
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: me a little bit with him play calling of like

727
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: an offensive line kind of situation where okay, we can

728
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: your your left tackles out. We could move the right

729
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: tackle to left tackle and the right guard to right

730
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: tackle and put in a new right guard, or we

731
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: could just stick in a new left tackle and leave

732
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: everybody else the same and have less. And that's kind

733
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: of what it felt like. We're gonna leave Sean Cooler

734
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: as the run game coordinator, We're gonna let Jeff Rogers

735
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: stay as the assistant head coach and make some of

736
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: the high level decisions. Vance is going to do the defense,

737
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna move Spencer Whipple, who's one of three

738
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: receivers coaches they essentially have because Jerry Sullivan is an

739
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: offensive assistant coaches receivers along with Sean Jefferson. We can

740
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: put him as the play caller and everybody else is

741
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: still in more or less their regular roles, and we

742
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: know he can do it. Anyways, he did it for

743
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: one game in college, and I trust him, and yet

744
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: everybody else is in the regular things, and maybe that

745
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: works out. I don't know if that's what Cliff's thought

746
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: process was, but it made me think of it a

747
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: little bit that way. He thought of it pretty deeply too.

748
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: You just wanted to tell five minutes soliloquy. Well, I

749
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: apologize for that. I did talk to someone who said

750
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: that Spencer Whipple is very sharp, very sharp coach, and

751
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: that Cliff has been aware of his football acumen for

752
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: a while and that he trusted him. That I guess

753
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: he's put him in a few other situations and tested

754
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: him here and there, and Spencer Whipple has come through

755
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: with flying callers. That's the way told to me, And

756
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: so for those truly on the inside of which I'm not,

757
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: but they were not shocked. They were not surprised, even though,

758
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: like he said, the only other time he had called

759
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: a game was a single game in twenty eighteen at

760
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: U Mass against South Florida UCF something like that. So, um,

761
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: that's the way it was explained to me. And then

762
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: look if if Sean McVeigh was hired when he was thirty,

763
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: if Cliff Kingsbury was a head coach when he was

764
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: thirty four, right, I mean, if you can do it right,

765
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: wasn't he a head coaches first year at Texas Tech?

766
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: He was thirty five? If you do the math, No,

767
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: if you do the math, Cliff Kingsbury was a head

768
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: coach of techs Tech at thirty four. Spencer Rubble's thirty two.

769
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: So I mean, guys have been there and done that

770
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: who have the ability, and Cliff Kingsbury was one of them.

771
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: And so once you recognize that in someone, okay, like

772
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: Cliff told him, just let a loose, let a rip.

773
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: And isn't that what Spencer Rubble said his dad told him.

774
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: His dad is theoc AT. Pitt told him, don't overthink it.

775
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: You know, it's sort of that scene from as long

776
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: as we're dropping movies, it's like the scene from Happy Gilmour,

777
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: but Kevin Kneeling character feel the flow happy. It's circular

778
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: harvest the energy block out the bat. You know, feel

779
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: the flow happy, Right, that's what you do if you're

780
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: Spencer Whipple, like you've seen that movie more than once

781
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: and he I love that scene. And like Spencer Whipple

782
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: said that he was sitting there. He was sitting there,

783
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: and there were a couple of times where he did

784
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: start to overthink it, and there was some time in

785
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: TV timeouts he said, no, no, no no, let's just get

786
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: back into a rhythm. Just keep it simple here and

787
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: then boom then and then I'd love to know. And

788
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: this the other question you need to ask if you

789
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: do get an insight with Cliff Kingsbury, somebody needs to

790
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: ask him how many times did Kyler call his own

791
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: play check out of the play? How much more often

792
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: did he in a normal game versus that Browns game?

793
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: Because Kyler did joke afterwards, oh yeah, we had a

794
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: substitute teacher. I had a little bit more leeway out there.

795
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: Wasn't that the word to use leeway it did, and

796
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,959
Speaker 1: that is a good question. It reminds me a little

797
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: bit when I asked Jeff Rogers about when the decision

798
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: was made to make Spencer the play caller, whether that

799
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: was a plan all along in case something happened, or

800
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: if that was just and he basically, Jeff basically said

801
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't privy to any of those conversations and basically

802
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: that's a cliff only decision anyways, and he goes at

803
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: the very end, he goes, I don't take anything the

804
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: head coach says as just a suggestion. Okay, yeah, so

805
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: maybe that's where Kyler is on most of those plays,

806
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: and it's a little different when Spencer Whipples is doing it.

807
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: Would you guys compare to, like, I don't know if

808
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: when your guys' parents went out of town, when you

809
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: guys maybe wearing a manshie middle school, but then you

810
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: like threw a party or something in high school or

811
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: in college, you know, you know the parents are going

812
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: to be out of town, you're gonna be disappointed, fully paid.

813
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: But that I wasn't that guy I would have. I

814
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: didn't even trust my own friends, okay, more or less

815
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: anybody else who showed up at Casa KALBC. Anyway, go ahead.

816
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Fully pay, You'll never win. You never

817
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: went against the grain growing up like oh sure, very

818
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: rarely sure, but usually involved a vehicle and involved the

819
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: home stuff. We won't get into that in my auto

820
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: insurance rates. Here's here's the problem, Phelipe. Your your dad

821
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: is like a famous personality. Like you're putting this out there.

822
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: There are people that are gonna listen to this podcast day.

823
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: Do you realize what your son did? I just want

824
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: people to know that, you know, my dad is human.

825
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: He does have a son that was a bit rebellious

826
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: growing up. So that's what I felt that, Like Kyler

827
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: Murray was, you know, he knew the Papa Bear wasn't

828
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: gonna be in town, so he invited. He invited all

829
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: the homies and he just you know, De Hop and

830
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: Christian come get your touchdowns baby exactly. Aj Aj Green's

831
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: that older alumni that stuff came around, but people didn't

832
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: necessarily want him around, but they're gonna. You know, he

833
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: still had at the time of the time of his

834
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: life or something like sure, because he wanted the cloud right,

835
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: he wanted to host the party. He wanted the cloud

836
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: got I got a golf cloup there. That's good. I

837
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: got a golf clap. I just said the guy hanging

838
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: around And now I'm thinking of Matthew McConaughey and what

839
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: movie was that. I'm drawing a blank on it. Oh Man,

840
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: you know the one where he's the guy out of

841
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: high school and he's coming back to the high school. Yeah,

842
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 1: so you had another movie reference. I just kept thinking

843
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: the name of Yeah. So, if Almas was listening, he

844
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: would have texted me by now. But he's not, by

845
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: the way. De hopping JJ Watt, Houston, Texans. Okay, what's

846
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: gonna happen? What? What TikTok? What's trending here? All right,

847
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: here's my prediction. DeAndre Hopkins gets his first hundred yard

848
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: game of the season. I think they are going to

849
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: make an absolute concerted effort. I think Kyler is going

850
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: to make a concerted effort. De hop hasn't had one

851
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: of those games. Here's the team that we can do

852
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: it against. You know, he badly wants to do it.

853
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: I think he has his first hundred yard game. J.

854
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: J Watt, I think he's in that situation where you know,

855
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: the X already left. You know, you guys left on

856
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: good terms. You know you don't want any drama or

857
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: anything like that. He's gonna have another JJ Watt game

858
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: like he's had in the past two weeks, and you

859
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: know that's on the past. You know, well, they did

860
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: do him a solid, right they made him a free agent.

861
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. They did do him at the very end,

862
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: they did yeah a lot. Although you know that there's

863
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: got to be a part of JJ that wants to

864
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: show because he knows all the Houston fans are gonna

865
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: be watching. You want to show out. But I do

866
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: think JJ would look at this game differently than DeAndre

867
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: Hopkins is going. I mean, it's too bad Bill O'Brien

868
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: won't be there on Sunday because they still need to

869
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: give him the hardware for the Arizona Cardinals twenty twenty.

870
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: MVP's Bill O'Brien and making the trade with the Arizona Cardinals,

871
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: so they need to still give him the hardware on

872
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: that one. I will say this, Laramie Tunsil is out,

873
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: so J J Watt, Hello, go put him over the

874
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: backup left tackle, move him around that line and just

875
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: let him eat. Well if if Tyrod Taylor is able

876
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: to come back, It's one thing, but if they're still

877
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: playing Davis Mills, Yeah and uh And by the way,

878
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: j J Watt and Chandler Jones are now tied career

879
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: sacks one or two apiece. So like we said in

880
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: game one, Chandler Jones is very aware of jj Watt's

881
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: career total in sacks. Let's just leave it at that.

882
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: And as soon as he got one ahead of jj Watt,

883
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: I'm the opening game of the season. It took him

884
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: four quarters, that's all it took him to get those

885
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: five sacks and get the lead on jj Watt. I

886
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: have also have a prediction that if Chandler Jones is back,

887
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: he will get a sack because he sees the standings

888
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: again and he's got to break that time. That's a

889
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: great question too. I mean, if Chandler was out Tuesday,

890
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: so what does that make ten days? Is that that's Friday,

891
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: Thursday or Friday. So if he has to miss practice

892
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: and misses a week, is that it's going to be

893
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: incredibly to watch. Do they play them? Do they play

894
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: him even like let's say he comes back on Friday,

895
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: do you still play him on Sunday give him that

896
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: he's been out. The only the only way I would

897
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: think he wouldn't is if and we don't know how

898
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: COVID affected him, but if if he got hit hard

899
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: with COVID and he just doesn't have the stamina, you

900
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: might want to be careful. I think he's active if

901
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: he's able to come back, but I don't know that

902
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: for a fact. This whole thing, guys, is going to

903
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: be interesting to watch of who's able to come back

904
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: who isn't, whether it's Cam Turner or Cliff Kingsbury or

905
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: Corey Peters or Zach Allen. I mean, there's a there's

906
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: still an excellent chance everybody but Chandler will not be

907
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: able to return. And then were Chard Lawrence left injured?

908
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: So the team just signed Josh Morrow to the practice

909
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: squad for now? But how telling is that? Probably going

910
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: to be played a few games last year? And you know,

911
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: and I mean which leads us back to the criticism

912
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: at least most of the analysts out there, what they

913
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: site is how real is the Cardinals defense? Can you

914
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: believe in this defense? And I'll just throw this out there.

915
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: We mentioned how they're a top five scoring defense. What

916
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: if and I know, here we go, what if the

917
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: Rams don't punch in that garbage touchdown with about a

918
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 1: minute ago? What if there isn't a Hail Mayfield, Hail

919
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: Mary at the end of the first half, right what

920
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: if there isn't a pick six it's not on the defense,

921
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: but still counseling against their stats in the Vikings game,

922
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: Nick Vigil, what if there isn't the kick six by Jacksonville.

923
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: So you have four scores and twenty years ago four

924
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: scores right there that if you took those away, and

925
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: it's plausible, it's feasible that I think of where the

926
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: Cardinals would be as a scoring defense right now, there's

927
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: still they're still top five. That's a great point. And

928
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: actually I remember all of those plays obviously, but I

929
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: kind of forgotten them in a group until you start

930
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: picking them all. Just because we advanced Joseph on this

931
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: week's edition a game plan the Cliff Kingsbury TV Show.

932
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, we could have had Cliff Kingsbury

933
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: via zoom like we did all of last year, but

934
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: the head coach said, you know what, no, dance Joseph.

935
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: I want him to do the show, which was which

936
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: was great. I thought it was a very telling of

937
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. So there's Vance Joseph and we had great

938
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: conversations and he admitted, like on the hill, first of all,

939
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: have you ever seen Vance Joseph really worked up? And

940
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: I see him on the side nine all gaming. Yeah,

941
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: he'll get fired up, but he never he never fails

942
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: to manage his emotions. Even on a hail Mary. He

943
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: was still composed, but you could tell he was steaming

944
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: red hot and coming off. He called it a double

945
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: no no one. You never let Baker Mayfield pop out

946
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: of the pocket number two. Half the guys were playing

947
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: like they were gonna pull some hook and ladder, so

948
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: they were in no man's land sort of midfield. And

949
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: then by that time you had three receivers to the Cardinals,

950
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: two dbs because Buddha Baker had fallen down before he

951
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: got to the end zone, you know, Vance Joseph and

952
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: Gallows Humor, So there were two different Browns receivers who

953
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: could have caught a hail Mary touchdown at that point.

954
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: That's how disappointed he was all the way around. That

955
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: play was just hard to watch. You know, Vance was

956
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: right when I understand playing short in case, somebody gets

957
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: it short, but once all the pass catchers run past you,

958
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: you gotta high tail it to the end zone. You know,

959
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: Buddha gets knocked down at the very end of the

960
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: play and takes out a defender. But you know, it's funny.

961
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: There was another Hail Mary, and I can't remember if

962
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: it was an NFL or college one, that was basically

963
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: the same thing. It's like, what's going on here? Why? Why?

964
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: How do you even defend it that way? Fortunately it

965
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 1: didn't hurt them, and that defense was so good every

966
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: other play. And you know what else, Vance also took

967
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: it on himself, he admitted, and he did say this

968
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: in the press guns afterwards. He didn't think Baker Mayfield

969
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: could throw it that far. Yeah, because earlier in the

970
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: game Baker had thrown the interception in that same direction.

971
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: That's where the wind was most fierce, was in that direction.

972
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: His interception fluttered, but man, he got that up and

973
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: there was a Next Gen's stat that's the longest in

974
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: the air completion since next Gen's stats started in twenty sixteen.

975
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: It was like sixty six sixty eight yards in the air.

976
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: Because he was behind the line of scrimmage when he

977
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: launched it. And the thing is is that's that's where

978
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: Vance I think got really ticked off about him getting

979
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: outside the pocket because he can't throw that in the pocket.

980
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: But if you can get a running start outside the

981
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: pocket and basically jabbling it down the field, I think

982
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: that helped him. I think he watched that hell Mary

983
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 1: last year from Kylie and he's like, hey, watch watch

984
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: what I can do. But if except he was falling back.

985
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: So if there's a stat that really put the cherry

986
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: on top for me for this defense, it was holding

987
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: that rushing offense to seventy three yards coming into week six.

988
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: The Browns obviously without Nick Chubb, but Kareem Hunt is still,

989
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, a top tier running back in the NFL.

990
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: But you hold the offense that a rushing offense come

991
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: back coming into weeks six, you're averaging what one hundred

992
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: and eighty seven yards a game, Yeah, one hundred eighty

993
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: seven rush yards a game, and you hold them to

994
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: seventy three yards. That's just a testament to Vans Joseph one.

995
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the credit has to go

996
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: to Vans Joseph because one year out without you're without

997
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: what Corey Peter Peters, Zach Allen and Challenge Jones and

998
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: Lawrence got hurt after what three snaps he played? And

999
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: then you still hold Kareem Hunt and that Russian attack

1000
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: to seventy three yards. I mean, that's that's just incredible.

1001
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: How how crazy is it that for as much as

1002
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: they've been gashed on the ground, and they have been

1003
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: at times, they're two best rushing two best games again

1004
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: against the best rushing team in the league and against

1005
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 1: the best running back in the league. Look what Henry

1006
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: just did last Night's crushed the hundred yard mark in

1007
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: every game except that the Cardinals, and I think the

1008
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 1: Brown's the same thing. I think they've crushed the hundred

1009
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: yard mark in every single game except the Cardinals. It

1010
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: helps to get a lead. In fact, you know it

1011
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 1: took most of Cardinals underground. Brought to you by Pacific

1012
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: Office Automation, partner of the Arizona Cardinals. But I do

1013
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: believe I have discovered a legitimate complaint. We started this

1014
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: by saying there's no legit complaints. I do have a

1015
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: legitimate complaint and it goes something like this. For all

1016
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: the people who questioned the Arizona Cardinals and they cite

1017
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: the defense, does it as staying power? Is it? For real?

1018
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: Couldn't you say the same thing about the other NFC powers?

1019
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: Is Dallas's defense? For real? They are historically bad a

1020
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 1: year ago, they're better this year. They can only be better.

1021
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: You can't get worse than last year. We saw the

1022
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: Rams defense. Yeah, they have arguably the two best players

1023
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: in the conference. Other than that, uh yeah, they've been

1024
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: ranked in the bottom third in most category. Whereas most

1025
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: of the season that Rams defense. Who else in the NFC?

1026
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Bucket, the Packers to all get out,

1027
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: And I mean the first three or four games, the

1028
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: Packers defense was abysmal, And so are you telling me

1029
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: they've completely turned that around? And that's a powerful defense

1030
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: that you have to fear now. Todd Bowles has the

1031
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: number one rushing defense in the NFL to the point

1032
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: where teams don't even try. But opponents in Tampa Bay,

1033
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they have torched that past defense and they're

1034
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: scrambling to try and find corners in Tampa. So if

1035
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna question the Arizona Cardinals and say they don't

1036
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: belong in the top one, two three spots in the NFL,

1037
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: power rankings and you're gonna site defense look at the

1038
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: rest of the NFC. I think you've made another fine point. Paul.

1039
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: My job, but again doesn't matter. I'm gonna go join

1040
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: the position group meeting out in the breezeway. That's what

1041
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: did they hear me? Did they hear that analysis? Maybe

1042
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: little say calBC, you're called up from the practice squad.

1043
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: You're activated, jump into this meeting. We need you to

1044
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: make more football sense like that from these players around here. Okay,

1045
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: I know we're getting near the end. So I got

1046
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: to ask this question. You step into a tight ends

1047
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: meeting in the NFL, just you know, just an example,

1048
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: and they start going over plays right now, I know

1049
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 1: that Paul CALVISI was once a superstar on the gridiron

1050
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: Leland High School? Were you, Felipe? I believe you were too.

1051
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm so what what school is it? North High School? Okay? Nice? Um?

1052
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: So my question is this, you sit in one of

1053
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: those things, would you be more uncomfortable trying to figure

1054
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: out deciphering what they're doing in that meeting? Or are

1055
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: you more uncomfortable if I don't and you sat down

1056
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: into a a issue Algebra one oh one class today

1057
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: someone who went in a simple algebra classes, um but

1058
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: NFL high level playbook kind of thing. I resemble that remark.

1059
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: I can speak from a first person experience. At thirty

1060
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: years of age. I went back to school to get

1061
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: my graduate degree, and I sat in a stats class,

1062
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: a master's stats class, and I really had an out

1063
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: of body experience. I was floating over the classroom, over

1064
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,760
Speaker 1: the lecture hall, saying, what have I done with my life?

1065
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: What am I doing in here with all these math

1066
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: figures floating around? I was the guy who was in

1067
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: the library on a Saturday that entire semester, would rent

1068
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: the room, would rent the study room in the public library,

1069
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: going there by myself and try and cram all this

1070
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: into my brain. And it took every ounce of my

1071
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: being to get a B minus in that class. I

1072
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: gotta B minus. It could be a crowning achievement my life.

1073
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: So I'm so glad, you asked, Daron, because that doesn't

1074
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: come up often enough that I actually passed a master's

1075
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: graduate level stats class. So it's it's you're going into

1076
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,479
Speaker 1: an algebra class, an accident, or just in general, Well,

1077
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you're going in the algebra class for the

1078
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: same reason you would be going into a tight ends

1079
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: class for the NFL or tight ends meeting. You're not

1080
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: going in there for any good reason. Work with him, Felipe,

1081
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: Work with him. I mean, I wouldn't mind going into

1082
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: the tight end meetings. I'd say, would you mind? I said,

1083
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: would you feel more lost? I would feel? Listen to

1084
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: the question here, I said, I have years of playing Madden,

1085
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: so I kind of when I see plays on the

1086
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: on the what is that a whiteboard or whatever they

1087
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: have that a projector so when I see plays on that,

1088
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: I feel like through my years of playing Madden, I

1089
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: would know what a Let me see an outside his

1090
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: zone block. I will say this, I will say this.

1091
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: This is weird, and I don't play Madden much anymore,

1092
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: but I played it for a number of years when

1093
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: my before my kids showed up, and then when they

1094
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: were younger, before my kids showed it. Yeah, well it's

1095
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: been a while, but I did learn a lot of

1096
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: football playing Madden. You do learn plays, and you do

1097
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: you do learn lingo that you wouldn't normally. It's kind

1098
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: of weird. Here's the thing, though, as someone has been

1099
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: down on the sidelines, and especially last year when you

1100
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 1: could hear everything. Yeah, now, if you want to get

1101
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: banished from the NFL forever, report what you hear when

1102
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: it comes to access and knows on the sideline. Okay,

1103
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: you will never work another game in your life. Yeah,

1104
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: they might, they might have JJ Watt body slammy on

1105
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: the sideline. But when you truly get an unfettered uh,

1106
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: listen to what they're saying. It is so far beyond Madden.

1107
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you it is so complex. It

1108
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: is so complicated. It's so far beyond high school football

1109
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: or anything like that. That when you sit there and

1110
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: they're looking at those overheads and they got the Microsoft

1111
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: Service tablets going and all that kind of stuff, and

1112
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: they're talking, and they're talking through checks and what they're

1113
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: going to do in the next series right over your head.

1114
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: I just want to put into perspective. You said you

1115
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: were a superstar in high school. I did not say that.

1116
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: Darren said that in a snark filled manner. There's a

1117
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 1: play on this roster that you would resemble. Who would

1118
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: it be? Andyzabella? That was almost too I mean, that's

1119
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: so easy. Come on, give me sevething juicy. To be honest,

1120
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: okay that that'd be in my best day. Um. To

1121
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: be honest, I probably would get mistaken for Matt Prader.

1122
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: Let's be honest walking into the hotel. You know, I

1123
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: get mistake for Mader. I'm not lying, and I don't

1124
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: mean this as a disc like I could see I would.

1125
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: I would love for Paul to bring in a picture

1126
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: of him from his high school days. I bet you

1127
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: he totally yeah, like he probably looks like an eighties

1128
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: version of Andy Isabella. You know what, if you have

1129
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: something to say, there's actually a picture somewhere that my

1130
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 1: brother found one of our high school football programs when

1131
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: they're cleaning out my parents' place and actually took us

1132
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: picture of that. I will send that to you. Actually,

1133
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: I will not send it to you. I will show

1134
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: it to you because there's no chance I will send

1135
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: it to you. I'm gonna mend that I have a

1136
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: good relationship with the director of digital media here. Just

1137
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: send that over. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll

1138
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: trade you. I'll give you that picture if that guy'll

1139
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: give me a retweet? All right, what's next? Um, so

1140
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm oh for the recent era. That's okay anyway,

1141
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 1: what else do we have on this thing that we

1142
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: were talking about. We don't have to get to everything

1143
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: we've been talking for a while. It was a good

1144
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: podcast so far. So it says the guy who's in

1145
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: the middle of it, Darren, you've been using both hands

1146
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: to patch yourself on the back in this edition of

1147
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: Cardinals Underground. I mean, right, Felipe. Honestly, he's as you

1148
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: were going to compliment him, but he beat you to it.

1149
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. So you know it's not the

1150
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: only Oh no, you didn't. I keep wanting to call

1151
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: you a state champ. But you said Tilman made him mistakes. Yes,

1152
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: I told you. The reason you know Pat Tillman is

1153
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: an all time legend isn't because the last time I

1154
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: went to the Rose Bowl with his Pat, or it

1155
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: wasn't the fact that Cardinals won their first playoff game

1156
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 1: in half a century with Pat during his rookie year.

1157
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: It's because he took his high school to greatness, because

1158
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: we were doormats every single year. But the middle child, No,

1159
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm most definitely the older child, the oldest child. You're

1160
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: the instigator, are you? Though? Always I'm the responsible one.

1161
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: Felippe Dot that's right, because you didn't. You never threw

1162
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: like a party when your parents went out of the the

1163
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: town by the way, Um, where do you think the

1164
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: whole JJ, I'm gonna leave with this because I'm gonna

1165
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: get him back to the d hop and then JJ

1166
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: Watt and J J Watt the last three games, it's

1167
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: been really good. Yes, now he finally showed him in

1168
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: the box score the last two games and especially this

1169
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: game against the Browns. But coaches will tell you that

1170
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: once and he wasn't the only guy once some of

1171
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: the freelancing went away and trying to make a play

1172
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: and perhaps get out of your gap, and that you know,

1173
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: it was a little bit rampant. Once the coaches instilled

1174
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: in you, you know what, if you stay where your

1175
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: scheme to stay, you will make enough place where you

1176
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: could have an all pro season. Just trust the system.

1177
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: And I think there were enough guys who felt like,

1178
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: oh boy, especially after what Chandler did in that opening game,

1179
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: like I gotta get mine. And so now once I

1180
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: think they've they've bought in a little bit more and

1181
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: there's that belief that okay, yeah, where this is schemed

1182
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: up is going to put me in a position to

1183
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: make a play, and certainly JJ Watt has done that

1184
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: and he's made a big difference. But I tell you,

1185
00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: based on what I've seen the last three games and

1186
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: what this game could do as a launching point against Houston,

1187
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: I think he's still could be tracking for a Pro

1188
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,959
Speaker 1: Bowl spot. That's how good he's playing. I think based

1189
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: on what I've seen, I think you're going to have

1190
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: an advantage there if this team continues to win, because

1191
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: we all know Pro Bowl. Pro Bowls come from teams

1192
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: that Pro Bowlers come from teams that win. And if

1193
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: this defense continues to play at a high level and

1194
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: JJ Watt, people keep talking about some of the ways

1195
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: to measure it beyond sacks, like how he's one of

1196
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: the top three interior defensive lineman in terms of pass

1197
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: rush that kind of stuff. I do think that that

1198
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: will be considered now. I don't know what else anybody

1199
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: else is doing around the league, And again we have

1200
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: eleven games to go. Things happen, people get hurt, whatever,

1201
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: But I like how he's playing. Even if he doesn't

1202
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl, I think it's been a great signing,

1203
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: just like AJ Green has been a great signing for

1204
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do and what they needed to do.

1205
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: I think they've been really good. I think this he's

1206
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna benefit tremendously. Like I mean, he kind of benefited

1207
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: frohim having Jordan Phillips on that defensive line and on Sunday,

1208
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: But imagine when that defensive line has a full healthy squad.

1209
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about having Chandler Jones cross cross that they

1210
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: do at some point knock on wood. Yeah, I'm the

1211
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: only one that believes in that, apparently, But in Chandler Jones,

1212
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: you have Jordan Phillips getting more defensive snaps. You're gonna get.

1213
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, Zach Allen that prior to getting COVID, he

1214
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: had a career game. That's right, he was coming off

1215
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: his best game. And then now you're adding this. You

1216
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: know I would have say prime J J. Watt, But

1217
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: he's finally in rhythm. You know, he's finally he went

1218
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: back to the meeting and he went over the place.

1219
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: He finally you know, I believe that's trademark gap assignments

1220
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: and everything like that. You know, it's getting juicy for

1221
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: that defensive line. Zach Allen got blindsided, like he blindsides

1222
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks We had him in the Big Red Rage Thursday

1223
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: night and then by Friday, be your phone, be your phone,

1224
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: bea fall zoom or whatever. You know. I said that

1225
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: it's all via fun. Ever since COVID hit, we've only

1226
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: done one in person, Big Red Ray. But can you

1227
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: imagine if you had done oh it in person with

1228
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: him and then right test posit the next day, you

1229
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: would have had to bring in Frank Caliendo to do

1230
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Wolfley with Pass. He'd have to do four quarters of

1231
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Wolfley with Pass. You're the whole bas and onions, right,

1232
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: He'd have to do that whole thing with him the

1233
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: whole time. By the way, I'm gonna leave it at

1234
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: this Um. You're all over the social media, Felipe, you're

1235
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: running the mail bag. I have a couple of people

1236
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 1: sniping and me that once again looking for legitimate complaints.

1237
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: Here there's always that guy that the Cardinals never should

1238
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: have parted ways with, Hassan Reddick Son Reddick having a

1239
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: pretty nice sesus in Carolina, pretty pretty good yep, six

1240
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: and a half sacks. He's right up there in the

1241
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: top three. Twenty nine tackles, seven tackles for lost, nine

1242
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: quarterback hits, forced fumble fumble recovery. But can I count

1243
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: with Marcus Golden who now has four sacks, sixteen tackles,

1244
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: two tackles for lost, five quarterback hits, pass defense, and

1245
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: three forced fumbles. It's Marcus Goold and t J. Watt

1246
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: who are the only players in the NFL with at

1247
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: least four sacks and three forced fumbles. I'm just wondering,

1248
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:11,919
Speaker 1: do you have any of those haters in the Son

1249
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Reddick camp and the mail bag? That much I've heard

1250
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: about Hassan Reddick a couple of times. Hasn't been lately. Actually,

1251
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: the mail bag that came out this week, I have

1252
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: somebody angry about Klais Campbell again, oh no, calling it

1253
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: calling it the biggest blunder in sports history, which I

1254
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: don't know if I can go to. That offered him

1255
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 1: twelve million a year, but he got fifteen millionaire for

1256
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 1: four years from Jacksonville. It is Look, pay taxes. Oh

1257
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: actually it's Florida and it's Florida, so there were no taxes,

1258
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: no state tax and he's not in Florida anymore. And

1259
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: now he's in Baltimore. And look, I understand that that

1260
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: was the thing, the Reddick stuff I understand, but you know,

1261
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: it's not like everybody was banging down Hassan's door, unfortunately,

1262
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: and uh, they thought he was going to get a

1263
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: big contract, they weren't ready to give him one. By

1264
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: the time he was willing to take a one year deal,

1265
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: they had already resigned Marcus Golden and they were maxed

1266
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: out at that position essentially. So you know that that

1267
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that happens. And I'm happy for Hassan.

1268
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe he hits the free agent market next

1269
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: year and comes back. You never know. He got a

1270
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: one year deal for like eight million or so, correct,

1271
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: and Marcus Golden got up two for nine if memory

1272
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: serves so. But Marcus is having a great year, and

1273
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm happy for Marcus. And the one thing you can

1274
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: never say about that, I mean, the dude had two sacks,

1275
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: and one of them for sure that might have been both,

1276
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: was like, should have had him once and then kept

1277
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: at it. And that's that's what you love to see

1278
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,439
Speaker 1: about that guy, that he just the motor just never

1279
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: turns on. And by the ways, Vans Joseph told us

1280
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: on his un filling in for Cliff Kingsman on the

1281
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: TV show there's been two, three, maybe four sacks that

1282
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: JJ Watt just didn't finish. He's got to finish. Van

1283
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Joseph said, he told JJ that, man, you gotta finish.

1284
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: And it's obviously big enough to bring down any quarterback.

1285
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: It's just man, A couple of guys have just slipped

1286
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: out of his grasp at the at the last moment.

1287
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: So I have not been able to find the elusive

1288
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: picture of yours truly in all my high school football fame.

01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,680
