Speaker 1: Rob Frederickson.

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 3: So Sunday was a tough one and as we sit

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: here Tuesday morning, it still stinks. And I don't know, Rob,

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: how much longer it's going to sting for us, for

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: the fans. You worry though, how much longer it might

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: sting for those players in the locker room. Because it

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: wasn't just how you lost, but that's now three straight losses,

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: seeing your opponent walk you off.

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the good news for the players I guess from

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 4: all of this is they don't have time to wallow

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 4: in anything. They got to move on. They got a

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 4: pretty good Indianapolis Colts team to play coming up, so

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 4: and we'll get more into that. But they don't have

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: time to wallow in this. That's more for the us,

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 4: the fans, and the prognosticators. You know. It's it's I

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 4: struggle myself the last forty eight hours trying to come

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 4: up with what the heck did I just see? It

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: really is to me one of the in Arizona Cardinals history,

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 4: one of the strangest and probably worst losses in the

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: history of the organization. And how do you how do

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: you get past that? And that's that's really the question.

35
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: I think that it is on everyone's mind. But the

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: players have to take steps to get past it immediately

37
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: because they got they got another. The games keep coming, man,

38
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: they don't stop.

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 5: I get it. It felt like more than a loss,

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 5: but it's still one loss.

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: True.

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 5: Now, if you let it linger, if you let it

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 5: last into this week, that's where it becomes more than

44
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 5: one loss. You can't let that loss define this week,

45
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 5: define this stretch until the bye. You can't let it

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 5: define your caliber of play, how you react. You can't

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: ultimately let it define your season. I think we've all

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 5: learned that. Look as brutal as it was and it

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 5: was very tough to stomach, the season is not over

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 5: look I mean, just do a quick big picture review

51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 5: of this year. Green Bay comes out and beats Detroit

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 5: and the opener and they had Micael Parsons. Green Bay's

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 5: going to the super Bowl really because they've lost and

54
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 5: tied and all of a sudden they beat in Week

55
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 5: one is one four in a row, and now the Lions,

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, are the best in the NFC.

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: Once again, look at the Chargers. Three wins to start

58
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: the year, all the Chargers year two under Harbaugh. Now

59
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: they've lost to in a row and a Broncos team

60
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 5: that was one and two is now considered the favorite

61
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 5: to win the NFC WES because of course the Chiefs

62
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 5: are cooked, except a couple of years ago they started

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 5: two and three and then won like twelve in a

64
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: row and made it to the AFC Championship Game.

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: Well, how about look inside the NFC West. Last year

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: the Rams they started what one in four.

67
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: And the year before I think they started two and five,

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: So now I get it. There's some proven winners all

69
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: those teams we just cited. But again, it's how you

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: react this week to me, and you have to address

71
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 5: a couple of persistent problems one finishing games two and

72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 5: we can talk more about this later. Different guys taking

73
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 5: their one turn to make their one mistake, and that's

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 5: something we talked about last week, something we talked about

75
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 5: the week before, and it's something that continues.

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: Cardinals up twenty one one to three with ten forty

77
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: three to go in the second quarter, they lose twenty

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: two to twenty one of the Tennessee Titans, Joey Sly

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: with a twenty nine yard field goal as time expires,

80
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: we take you back to Sunday postgame head coach Jonathan.

81
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 6: Gannon, obviously very disappointing. Felt like we had multiple chances

82
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 6: to put away the game in all three phases and

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 6: we did not do that. So collectively, we have to

84
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 6: do a better job. And it feels like that's now

85
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 6: three games in a row that I'm saying the same thing.

86
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 6: But until we do a better job, we're gonna keep losing.

87
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 6: So never about one play, never about one phase. All

88
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 6: of us collectively have to do a better job. So

89
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 6: our sense of urgency and our connectedness is always there.

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 6: It obviously needs to increase because time's ticking times.

91
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: Sticking to your point, Rob on the season, you play

92
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: Sunday and you're a third of the way into this

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: regular season, and you can't fall further back, not only

94
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: within your own division, but you look at the rest

95
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: of the NFC, and yes there's parody. And to Paul's point,

96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: this year's number one or this week's number one team

97
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: talk to me in three weeks and how they look

98
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 3: after the next three games. But to JG's point, what

99
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: we've seen over these last three weeks, in his words,

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: unacceptable and we've seen flashes, we just haven't seen that

101
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: consistency in all four quarters.

102
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paul mentioned, uh, you know, these different players are

103
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: kind of rotating and in terms of making their one

104
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: big mistake, and in this league, seemingly every time that happens,

105
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: those those mistakes get amplified, and I think you've seen

106
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 4: that the last few weeks. But I take I take

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: a little issue with JG when he said, you know,

108
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 4: it doesn't come down to one play. Well, a lot

109
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 4: of times it does. In my opinion, it comes down

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 4: games come down to one or two plays. This team's

111
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: probably a five plays from being five and zero, and

112
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: you could also make the counter argument about five plays

113
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: from being zero to five. So it does come down

114
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: to one to two plays a game that have so

115
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 4: much magnitude to them and have so much importance to them.

116
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: Now every play, every play is a part of either

117
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: winning or losing the game. But there are one or

118
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 4: two plays every every week you see it game to

119
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 4: game that have a huge impact on the outcome of

120
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: the game.

121
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: The inability to finish though, that's been the big thing, Paul,

122
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: you mentioned it. Elijah Higgins, we heard from him on

123
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: Monday on how these three games, how these five games overall,

124
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: what they can learn on how these games are ending.

125
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 7: I think that the results are teaching us that what

126
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 7: we trying or do isn't working, and though we are

127
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 7: improving our process, it still needs to get improved, if.

128
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 4: That makes sense.

129
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 7: So I think though we've continued to improve our process,

130
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 7: the results aren't showing the way that we want. So, okay,

131
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 7: we really need to look in the mirror figure out

132
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 7: what we need to continue to improve on. And continue

133
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 7: to improve or us this is not gonna work out.

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: Change, yes, but how much change? How much can you

135
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: really afford to change? Even this early in the season,

136
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: We've heard JG say, yeah, we're going to change and adapt,

137
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: but I think it's more tweaking some things. We even

138
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: did see this offense getting off to that twenty one

139
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: to three start, the offense did look a little different. Yeah,

140
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: it went back to the twelve and thirteen personnel, but

141
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: gott the Murray was moved out of the pocket, little

142
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: bootleg rollouts. It did look very efficient and untill it

143
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: didn't and then all of a sudden, it's okay, why

144
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: could you not sustain it?

145
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was change that a lot of fans were

146
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: clamoring for. A lot of change that was necessary. Minus

147
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 5: James Connor, minus Trey Benson had to change the identity

148
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: of the run game a little bit, much more of

149
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 5: a pass first offense. You saw it in that first quarter,

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison Junior getting all the targets, all the catches,

151
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 5: and then there was the drought, like twenty five thirty

152
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 5: snaps in a row or Marvin Harrison Junior didn't see

153
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 5: a single target. So that's confounding, there's no doubt about it.

154
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: But if you're talking about change, to me, it's and

155
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 5: you saw it in the Carolina game. And I'm a

156
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 5: self appointed sideline psychologists, gentlemen, I defer on all things

157
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: to rob when it comes to football. But after twenty

158
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 5: plus years on that sideline, I don't know much, but

159
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: I know this much. Once the sideline turns it off,

160
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 5: it's really hard to turn it on. Get an inferior

161
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 5: team out there. You took a big lead, and if

162
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 5: indeed they did turn it off to some degree, that

163
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 5: is the level of intensity. As Jonathan Gannon Warren going

164
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 5: into the game, this ain't college football. That's not an

165
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 5: zero to four team that gets down three scores. This

166
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: is the NFL, and they do have the ability to

167
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 5: come back, especially if you make a few self inflict

168
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 5: to critical errors that puts that ball in a t

169
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: for them. It had hit a four hundred drive right

170
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 5: down the middle of the fairway and that's what the

171
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 5: Cardinals did. And again, you can't turn it off. And

172
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 5: so you saw a little bit on the Carolina game.

173
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 5: I think you saw a little bit of that. What

174
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 5: the last eight possessions no points for the Cardinals offense.

175
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: So are you telling me Tennessee made that many defensive

176
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 5: adjustments schematically to stymy the Cardinals offense. I think the

177
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 5: Cardinals would tell you, to a man, no, it was

178
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: more us than them.

179
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 3: Some of that rob is human nature. You get up,

180
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: you're feeling good about yourself. How do you maintain that intensity?

181
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: Because a lot of fans will point to the coaching

182
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 3: but how much is that amongst the players themselves, whether

183
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: individually or as a group rallying around one another. Hey,

184
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: we have not won this game yet, There's still two

185
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: and a half quarters to be played. Let's keep going.

186
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think that's a combination. It's on

187
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 4: the coaching staff to remind the players of that, but

188
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 4: it's also on the players to self regulate and understand that.

189
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 4: To Paul's point, you know, even if you're up to

190
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 4: three scores, these are NFL players that you're playing against.

191
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 4: Even if they're on four, these are guys that are

192
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 4: professionals that that have the ability to come back and

193
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: and win games. And you know, I just think it's

194
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: a mindset that, for whatever reason, the Arizona Cardinals seem

195
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 4: to slip into when they're up against an opponent, they

196
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: seem to take their foot off the gas. And I'm

197
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 4: not just saying it's the players, you know, I I

198
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: think I think it goes to coaching and play calling

199
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: as well. There there there comes a point where you know,

200
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: we're we're playing not to lose, We're calling plays not

201
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: to lose, We're we're you know, it's it's a mentality

202
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 4: and it's in it right now. Unfortunately, it's it's a

203
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 4: bit pervasive on this team and they have to do

204
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: something to change that.

205
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 5: What's that acronym that's out there, fa FO fuol round

206
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 5: find out maybe we change that to uh m a

207
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 5: fo mess around? Find out mess around in an NFL

208
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: game against an NFL team, and you'll find out the

209
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: hard way if you don't put them, you're gonna find

210
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 5: out that they have the ability to come back when

211
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Simmons is in there wreaking havoc and single handedly

212
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 5: destoring your run game and all of a sudden, your

213
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 5: one dimensional Maybe guys have ratchet down the intensity a

214
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 5: little bit, so hopefully, hopefully once again to come full

215
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 5: circle to my original comment, it's a learning moment and

216
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 5: the guys realize you know what, This isn't going to

217
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: define our season. This team is much better than what

218
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 5: it's shown. I mean, five consecutive games that have gone

219
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 5: down to the very end. This team against some of

220
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 5: those teams that they've already played, definitely has a capability

221
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: to put them away much earlier than that.

222
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: Sunday. We saw the Titans rally last night Monday Night Football,

223
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: the Jaguars rally from a double digit deficit. It's happening

224
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 3: more often. It's almost like in the NBA, where a

225
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: twenty point league can evaporate in a span of two

226
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: and a half minutes. You are never safe in the

227
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: National Football League, even up twenty one to three early

228
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 3: and the third quarter. But how did it happen the

229
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: Cardinals lose that lead. We'll talk about that next on

230
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: all of the as I called it, weirdness that happened

231
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: after that twenty three advantage. Just getting started to hear

232
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: on a Tuesday edition of The Cardinals Red Sea Report,

233
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 3: Craig Rayoloup, Paul calBC and Rob Frederickson talking about unfortunately

234
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 3: a Cardinals loss to the Titans twenty two to twenty one.

235
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: This is the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

236
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: One man wide right, two to the left, snap to Murray,

237
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: hits him in the face. The ball's on the ground,

238
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: it's picked up by the Titans. Murray wasn't ready for

239
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: the snap, and a bad turnover by the Cardinals. Touchdown

240
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: seventy two yards. De Murcado in the host call little

241
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: track play up the middle and split like the red

242
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: seat and De.

243
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 5: Murcado gets a little loose at the ball at the end.

244
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 4: I have to review the ruling on the field. Is

245
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: a fumble forward through the end zone. It'll be first.

246
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: Down after twenty yard line for Tennessee.

247
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 2: Picked off at the five yard line by Rabbit and

248
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: he buffles the ball into the end zone and it's

249
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: recovered by Tennessee and it's a touchdown for the Titans.

250
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, snap ball down, the kick is up,

251
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 2: the kick is good, and the Cardinals lose twenty two

252
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: twenty one. I'm not sure what just happened, and I'm

253
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: not sure anybody down there on that Cardinal sideline who

254
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: knows what just happened.

255
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: Like I said, weirdness. Any one of those three plays

256
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: that Dave Pash described and described excellently as he always does,

257
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: any of those three plays go the other way. Cardinals

258
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 3: win that game. The fumble on the missnap miscommunication, Cardinals

259
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: win the red zone. And then there was the touchdown

260
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: that wasn't and then the game ceiling interception that wasn't

261
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: any one of those three plays, Paul, and we are

262
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: talking about a Cardinals win now, still having maybe a

263
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 3: discussion about how things might have looked, but much better

264
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: at three and two than two and three.

265
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 5: To your point, I'm looking at this football factoid right here,

266
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 5: Mario de Mercado's touchdown that wasn't. If it was, it

267
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 5: would have put the Cardinals up twenty eight to six

268
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 5: with about twelve forty to go in the game. Teams

269
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 5: in that situation over the last twenty five years up

270
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: twenty two in the fourth quarter are one two hundred

271
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 5: and seventy six and one. So that could have been

272
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: a game ceiling touchdown. To your point, there's no doubt

273
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: about it. Maybe there should be a new rule. Okay,

274
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: new rule. The goal line isn't good enough. You hold

275
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 5: the ball until the goal post. How about that echo

276
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: of the whistle, echo of the goal post.

277
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 4: I think it's surely a rule for Mercado from now on.

278
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 5: The old Beastie boys. No touchdown till goal post?

279
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 4: How about that?

280
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm expecting bumper stickers t shirts soon from you, Paul,

281
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: because well I do like that.

282
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 5: And we see we just we saw it the week before. Yes, yes,

283
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: it's it's multiple choice. There are enough guys over the

284
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 5: last decade who have done it. You have many theories

285
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 5: as to why rob is it? Is it the jumbo tron?

286
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 5: Are they in the clear and they're looking at the

287
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 5: jumbo Tron and judging their distance or the location based

288
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 5: on what they're seeing on the big screen.

289
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: I think that has to be a part of it.

290
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: It like it. It must be like a visual where

291
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 4: they see the end zone, they see the line and

292
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 4: they feel like they're over it, so they drop the ball,

293
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: but they're not. The ball's not over it's it's the ball.

294
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 4: It's not it's not their front foot, it's not their body.

295
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: It's is the ball over the end zone? And clearly

296
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: it wasn't. In Amari's case, he was it was. It

297
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 4: may have been on his fingertips, but he did not

298
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: have control of it. So it was a fumble and

299
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: you know, an unforced error that he will not make again.

300
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: But to your point earlier, Paul, guys just keep on

301
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 4: making these mistakes, you know, and you can make mistakes

302
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 4: here or there in a football game. Everybody does. But

303
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: that was just magnified and you can't have that because

304
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: that play, more than any of the other plays you

305
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: talked about, Craig, that play directly resulted in loss of

306
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: points and possession. And that was a gut punch to

307
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: this team.

308
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: A fourteen point swing because the Colts the that's next.

309
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: The Titans took over and march down field on a

310
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard one yard touchdown make it twenty one to twelve,

311
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: and they missed the pat which again more weirdness, but

312
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: Titan's able to come back and win twenty two to

313
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: twenty one. That particular play though, the Amario Democado fumble.

314
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray postgame on the effect that play had on

315
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: the game.

316
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 8: I wouldn't say it gave him momentum, but it definitely

317
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 8: gave him a sense of life, hope, you know, which

318
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 8: you can't give teams in the NFL's National football everyone's

319
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 8: too good, it's too even. You know, when you get

320
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 8: the opportunity to put a team away, you have to

321
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 8: and we didn't do that. I'm really close with Mario.

322
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 8: I know his character, I know his IQ of the game,

323
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 8: and never in a million years last you know, I

324
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 8: wouldn't think that a Mario would do that. But obviously

325
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 8: we all make mistakes. You know, he's gonna take that

326
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 8: on the chant. He understands that. But at the end

327
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 8: of the day, you know, we just we all got

328
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 8: to be better. And again he owns up to that.

329
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 4: Now.

330
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: To Amari's credit, he stood in front of his locker

331
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: after the game answered every single question. Very easily could

332
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 3: have ducked out and said, you know what, not today,

333
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 3: but he stood up and admitted, yes, my bad on

334
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: me won't happen again.

335
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

336
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 3: At the same time, it's okay to your point, Paul,

337
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: you kept the Titans and the game. You gave them

338
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: life and a team that was struggling and not just

339
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: this season, going back to last season finding a way

340
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: to get a w because the Arizona Cardinals hurt themselves

341
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 3: and we heard it from both JG and Kyler post game,

342
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: shot them in the foot, and you gave the Titans

343
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 3: life and they took advantage and got their first win

344
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: of the seasons.

345
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 5: You know, Mari's sitting in front of his locker taking

346
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 5: all the questions from all comers. There's a lot of

347
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 5: dudes in a lot of sports who would have bolted.

348
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 4: We know agree.

349
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 5: We worked many of those locker room situations. Heck, I

350
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 5: covered a Raiders team Rob was on and you guys

351
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 5: lost the last six that season, missed the playoffs. Rob

352
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 5: was one of three guys in that locker room who

353
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 5: met the media was Tim Brown, Rob Friderson, and I

354
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 5: can't remember the other guy. And so I mean, look,

355
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 5: there there are stand up people and you know who,

356
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 5: and Amaro de Mercato is one of those guys. But

357
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 5: for this game, in that moment, it was Amari de

358
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 5: moralizing and it really had an impact on the game,

359
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 5: and it gave the Titans life. You know, one point

360
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 5: and I violate my rule nomath again. The Titans win

361
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 5: probability was as low as one point eight percent, so

362
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 5: they needed something miraculous like that to just keep them

363
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 5: in the game. Now here's the other thing, finishing. You're

364
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon earlier, and it's been a persist theme even

365
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 5: in the two wins. At the beginning of the year.

366
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 5: The offense did not finish. Was not able to go

367
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 5: into four minute mode and finish out the game. Even

368
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 5: in New Orleans, you need a Boodha and JT with

369
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 5: a pass break up in the end zone. Even in

370
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 5: Week two against Carolina, you need to Kalais with a

371
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: sack on fourth down to go ahead and finish. So

372
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 5: it's tough. You're repeatedly asking the defense to come up

373
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 5: big with the game on the line late fourth quarter.

374
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 3: The mistakes that keep getting made, whether by a position

375
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: group or an individual.

376
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 4: You talked about it, Paul.

377
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: It's different players making their own mistake for that particular game.

378
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 3: I go back to the fumble, the first weirdness, the

379
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: snap off of Kyler Murray's face mask. Again that's inside

380
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: the red zone. But that drive you converted a third

381
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: and eight to third and three, another third and three,

382
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 3: you get down to the Tennessee eighteen, and then there's

383
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 3: a false start, and then there's a holding call, and

384
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, people wonder, well, what's happening. You're

385
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: moving the football and and then you're costing yourself and

386
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: pushing yourself back. Nothing that the opponent did, but now

387
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, a good play is followed up

388
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 3: by a negative, whether that's a penalty or tackle for loss,

389
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: and you just lost whatever momentum you had on the drive.

390
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, it's it's a lack of focus and

391
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 4: attention to details when you need it most, and you

392
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 4: can't have that. You know, I'm gonna zoom out a

393
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: little bit. And you know, for the last two two

394
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 4: and a half years, we've been talking about a lot

395
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 4: about the culture around here and how how the culture

396
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: has changed and things are going to be different. Well,

397
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 4: you can't have a culture without standards, and when those

398
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 4: standards aren't met, there has to be people have to

399
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 4: be held to account. And if they're not held to account,

400
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 4: then those standards merely become suggestions. There's there's nothing to it.

401
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: It's it's it's just it's just words. So you know,

402
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 4: there has to be some accountability. And I'm not saying

403
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 4: there isn't you know, by find closed doors, we don't

404
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 4: know what's going on within the team meeting room and

405
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: what's really happening, but it just it just seems like

406
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 4: and this can happen. Trust me, I know a lot

407
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 4: about teams that have struggled. I've been on a lot

408
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 4: of teams that that that struggle at times throughout the season,

409
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 4: and the what can happen And I'm not saying this

410
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 4: is happening, and hopefully it won't, but what can happen

411
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 4: is if if those standards aren't being met and players

412
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: or coaches and or coaches are not held to account

413
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 4: for that, that's when you lose the locker room. And

414
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that that we're at that point, but

415
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 4: you know, it's just a cautionary tale. You can't continue

416
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 4: down doing the same thing, just saying well, we got

417
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 4: to get better and expect different results. And and if

418
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 4: you do that, then you're at some point things are

419
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: going to happen where those standards aren't being met and

420
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 4: nobody's being held to account. And now all of a sudden,

421
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 4: it's just this suggestion.

422
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 5: So Jeffrey Simmons the week before, after the Titans had

423
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 5: lost gave up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to

424
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 5: Houston to fall to zero to four. Jeffrey Simmons went

425
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 5: off in the locker room and I'm looking to the

426
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 5: quote right here, We're not playing good football. I'm tired

427
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 5: of hearing the same thing coming into the locker room.

428
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 5: I'm tired of saying it. We got to play better,

429
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 5: We got to do the things we're talking about. That's

430
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 5: where the Cardinals are right now, finishing these games. And

431
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 5: to me, it's on those players to get these things done. Craig,

432
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 5: you made the point that Cardinals went down the field,

433
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 5: got into the red zone, false start, holding hashtags, self inflicted.

434
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 5: Why do you think defenses throw up the too high safety,

435
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 5: the shell coverage forcing the Cardinals to go ten, twelve,

436
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 5: fourteen to eighteen plays, daring them to complete the drive

437
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 5: without a self inflicted penalty mistake put them behind the

438
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: sticks a turnover. Cardinals did it in the first quarter.

439
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 5: You see what it looks like when they're all intense

440
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 5: and focused and everyone's locked in. You saw the sort

441
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: of production they're capable of. Now, you just got to

442
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 5: do it for the entirety of a football game.

443
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: Eight plays, seven plays. Those are the first two scoring drives.

444
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 3: But if it's beyond that and then all of a sudden,

445
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: to your point, more plays lead to more opportunities to

446
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: make mistakes.

447
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 4: Well, and I'm not saying he's solely responsible for that

448
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 4: early success, but Will Hernandez was in the game early,

449
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 4: and he was a difference maker. You go back and

450
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 4: watch that film. He was moving guys, and that is

451
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 4: a different offensive line. When Will Hernandez is healthy and

452
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: in there and moving bodies, he's different and he's got

453
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 4: a different mentality, and I think he elevates everybody else's

454
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: mentality when he's in there, you know, and I know

455
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 4: he was on a pitch count and you know they're

456
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 4: working him back in, but this team needs him. He

457
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: brings a shot of adrenaline too. That offensive line that

458
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 4: for the most part, honestly did not play very well.

459
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 5: If you're going into this week with Evan Brown healthy

460
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 5: again hamstring at left guard and Will Hernandez a right guard,

461
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 5: let's ball. I want to see that. To Rob's point,

462
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 5: I'd love to see fourth quarters of that offensive line

463
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 5: because we all know and Johnathan Agannon said it the

464
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 5: week before, you know, in the second of the three

465
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 5: consecutive walk off losses, when I asked him what did

466
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: you think of line of scrimmage? He hesitated and said,

467
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 5: you know, not great. There's some improvement that needs to

468
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 5: be had. There's still improvement that obviously can be had.

469
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: Just look at the stat line from Jeffrey Simmons.

470
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 3: Too many penalties by the offense, too many penalties by

471
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: the offensive line. Again part of those mistakes that Jonathan

472
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: Gannon talked about postgame on the Cardinals Locker Room Show.

473
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 6: Make sure we're on the details of everything that's being

474
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 6: asked and we're coaching the details right and putting together

475
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 6: a performance of four quarters collectively to win a game,

476
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 6: because we have not done that. And you know, I

477
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 6: know what the record is, but in my mind, we

478
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 6: haven't done that through five weeks. You're not going to

479
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 6: win if you play a good quarter, a good half,

480
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 6: good three quarters. Like you have to be able to

481
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 6: put games away and execute and make plays when the

482
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 6: time comes.

483
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: Very easy to point to the three losses about not finishing,

484
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 3: and then you hear your head coach Rob mentioned it's

485
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 3: been all five games. It's one thing for us to

486
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: bring it up, but for the coach to he knows,

487
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: but to publicly say, hey, we have not played four

488
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 3: quarters of football since week one. Before week we haven't

489
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: done it at all. So, yeah, how do you get

490
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: that consistency? And we keep bringing up that word, whether

491
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: you're talking about the run game, of the pass game, defensively,

492
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: getting off the field. It just hasn't clicked yet here

493
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: to the first five weeks, and there are many people

494
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: wondering will it click.

495
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, I mean for me, in all five games,

496
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 4: you can you can point to instances in all five

497
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 4: games where the Cardinals seemingly took their foot off the

498
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 4: gas the second half on Sunday, you could see a

499
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 4: difference just in terms of play calling, both offense civilian defensively,

500
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 4: of playing, of how the players played. Not to jump

501
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 4: on to Mari de Mercado again, but that play to

502
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 4: me was emblematic of kind of the Cardinals how they

503
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 4: play the football game, how they play the first five

504
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 4: football games. You know, you play awesome and then with

505
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 4: about fifteen yards to go, you kind of take your

506
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: foot off the gas and then mistakes happened. That's what

507
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: the Cardinals have been. It's been the storyline for the

508
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals these five weeks, and you know something has

509
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 4: to change again. I keep going back to standards. If

510
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 4: the standards aren't being met, then there has to be somebody,

511
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 4: something held to account for it. If not, then then

512
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: you know you're gonna lose things. You're gonna lose the

513
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: locker room.

514
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 5: The best locker rooms do what they patrol themselves. Bruce

515
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: arians was a big proponent of that, but he's far

516
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 5: from the only head coach. The best locker rooms hold

517
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 5: each other accountable. I wasn't in on the JG Show

518
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: this week, but he sent a play times in the

519
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: past last couple years. When things go a little sideways,

520
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 5: he relies on the team leaders. Team captains, you call

521
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 5: in a Kalais Campbell on defense at Calvin Beachum on offense. Hey,

522
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 5: guys hold both sides of the ball accountable. To me,

523
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 5: I could easily see that happening, and I love to

524
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 5: see how the Cardinals respond on Sunday.

525
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: JG on Monday with the media quote we got the

526
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 3: right leaders in the locker room one. The question was

527
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 3: asked about the response and how do you handle getting

528
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 3: this team back on track. So we mentioned Cardinals lose

529
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 3: twenty two to twenty one of the Titans and excellent starts.

530
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: We'll discuss the offense in those first four drives as

531
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: we continue here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

532
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 2: Hurry looking downfield, now, hoist it deep far side and

533
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: it is underthrown, but it's caught anyway by Harrison. There

534
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: were two defenders in front of Harrison, and he ripped

535
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: it a way. Go up and high point the ball,

536
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: showcase you still have hands, come down with it over

537
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: top of two defenders. Incredible starts, a back shoulder faith

538
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: that's caught on the far side by Harrison at the

539
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: forty two yard line to gate of about twenty. This

540
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: is what we've been waiting for from this offense. Throwing

541
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: over the middle, caught inside the twenty yard line by Harrison. Again,

542
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: that's sixteen more yards. Fires over the middle pulled in

543
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: for a first down by Harrison. He went up and

544
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 2: stepped that ball out of midair.

545
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 5: Way to use your hands, Marvin Harrison Junior. Love to

546
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 5: see it.

547
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: After a couple of weeks, he is starting to show

548
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: that he can be reliable and be the guy that

549
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: we all thought he.

550
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 4: Was gonna be.

551
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: We all asked the question that fourth quarter against the Seahawks,

552
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior four catches on four targets, including a touchdown.

553
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: Could he sustain that? Could that carry over into Week five?

554
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: It did.

555
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: In the first quarter three receptions for seventy nine yards,

556
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: a season high, by the way, but just one catch

557
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: on two targets the rest of the game, and that

558
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 3: is what a lot of people are talking about. The

559
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: question was asked to Jonathan Gannon. Yeah, we need to

560
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: get the ball in the hands of our playmakers, i e.

561
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior and Trey McBride. Though, Rob we just

562
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,239
Speaker 3: didn't see it enough, especially how well MHJ started that

563
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: game to go away from him regardless of what the

564
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: defense was doing or not doing, such as successful first

565
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes and then disappeared the last three quarters.

566
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, again, for me, it had to have been part

567
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 4: of the game plan or part of the intention to

568
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: get conservative after a big lead. The Cardinals had a

569
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: big lead twenty one to three. Marvin Harrison Juniors was

570
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: really a non factor. And that's you. That's your number

571
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 4: one wide receiver, that's your best player. There's a player

572
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 4: you picked the number four in the draft. He's got

573
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 4: to be a full point of this offense. Obviously, Trey

574
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 4: McBride is going to be. He's going to get his looks.

575
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 4: But you know, it's it's inexplicable to me that Marvin

576
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 4: Harrison Junior just just evaporates, just just goes away in

577
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 4: terms of targets in terms of looks now, I don't

578
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 4: know if it if it was all on the play calling,

579
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 4: or if Kyler just wasn't going through the progressions, or

580
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 4: maybe the progressions didn't have Marvin Harrison Junior as the

581
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 4: number one read, whatever that may be. You got to

582
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 4: get him more involved and consistently throughout the game.

583
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 5: Did the defense adjust for the Titans? Did they throw

584
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 5: some more attention Marvin's way? Did they make an in

585
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 5: game adjustment after that big first quarter? Sure, potentially in

586
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 5: yaal l Jerry Snead, he might have traveled a little

587
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 5: bit and been over Marvin Harrison Junior quite a bit.

588
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 5: But still you have to feed wide receiver one. And

589
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 5: the trickle down to me is if eighteen is an

590
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 5: open or he's going to an extra attention, then it's

591
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 5: eighty five. There should never be this simultaneous. They're able

592
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 5: to take away both. If one guy isn't getting that

593
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 5: extra attention over the top, then go to the other

594
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 5: primary receiving target. And so with that in mind, okay,

595
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 5: that is definitely something that you would think, especially now

596
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 5: with Marvin Harrison Junior going back to Indianapolis where he

597
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 5: spent a good part of his upbringing where his dad

598
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 5: was a Hall of Famer. If there's going to be

599
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: anybody jacked up this Sunday who needs about a dozen targets,

600
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 5: you would think eighteen would be the guy.

601
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: Cardinals lose on Sunday that Tennessee Titans twenty two to

602
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: twenty one. Those twenty one points come on the first

603
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: four possessions of the game. The most points the offense

604
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: has accounted for. Let me say that again, the most

605
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: points the offense has accounted for through these first five

606
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 3: games of twenty twenty five. Kyleer Murray on mistakes that

607
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: is costing this offense to move the ball and better said,

608
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: score points.

609
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 8: I mean, I just think, you know, if you look

610
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 8: at the mistakes, you know, just think we played well

611
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 8: enough to win the game, but crucial bonehead mistakes just

612
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 8: you know, gave them a chance to stay in the game.

613
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 8: You know, I think they were literally a play away

614
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 8: from Quintin, but we left when we kept him in

615
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 8: a game.

616
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: Season high three hundred and sixty yards one hundred and

617
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 3: sixty eight yards on the ground, yet only twenty one

618
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: points scored. So again, the numbers don't add up as

619
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: far as what they look like on paper, and you

620
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 3: keep going back and we'll bring up you brought it

621
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: up already, Rob, But those first four drives, one of

622
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: the big differences was who was playing right guard. Now

623
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: it seems I want to say far fetch, but to

624
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: draw a direct conclusion to Will Hernandez enters the game,

625
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: Cardinals scored twenty one points. But maybe it is that simple.

626
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. I would expect to see number seventy

627
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: six on the field more this upcoming season, depending on

628
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: how he practices. JG alluded to that earlier on Monday,

629
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, what wasn't going to play the entire game,

630
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: but when we saw him play, it's certainly did seem

631
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 3: to affect positively the offense.

632
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta say that the Cardinals started off the

633
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 4: game I was I was really excited for what they

634
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 4: were doing offensively. I mean, Michael Carter was ripping off

635
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 4: some runs, five six seven yard runs at a clip.

636
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, they're calling plays that are designed

637
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 4: to go downhill. Even had Will Hernandez pulling, I mean,

638
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 4: a guy that big coming off a knee surgery, I

639
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 4: didn't think he could pull, but he was pulling man,

640
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 4: So you know, I was. I was really fired up

641
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: about where the offense was at starting off. But for

642
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 4: whatever reason, I don't know what happened. It just stalled.

643
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 4: It stopped on passing plays. You saw Kyler, You hold

644
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 4: the ball forever and scramble around and and not be

645
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 4: able to find receivers. I don't I don't quite understand

646
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: what what the changes were, whether they were by design,

647
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: by play call, or or just lack of execution from

648
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: the players. But something one has to get done, and

649
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 4: something has to happen in order for this team to

650
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 4: be more consistent throughout the entire game and put these

651
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 4: teams away.

652
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 5: To your point about Michael Carter early in the game

653
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 5: with some of those really productive runs. Remember John and

654
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 5: Agannon judges the run game based on efficiency. Remember the

655
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 5: game three games ago, Seventeen of the twenty four runs

656
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 5: were deemed inefficient. Where does that leave you second and

657
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 5: ten second and nine second in eight Now, if you

658
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 5: can get second and short second and manageable, the entire

659
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 5: playbook is open. I'd love can't believe I'm asking for

660
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 5: another analytic. I'd love to know the Cardinals offensive success

661
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 5: at getting points on a drive where they consistently get

662
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 5: five or more yards on first down, because then all

663
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 5: of a sudden, second down, it is wide open. Anybody

664
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 5: can be a viable target. You keep the defense on

665
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 5: its heels. And to me, that was the difference between

666
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 5: those first four possessions and then those eight possessions where

667
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 5: they got zero points. The rest of the way was

668
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 5: they had an effective, efficient run game that put them

669
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 5: in manageable situations on second and third down, able to.

670
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 3: Stay on the field ten first downs over those first

671
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: four possessions, six first downs. Of those last eight possessions,

672
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 3: punted the ball six times, four of which were three

673
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 3: and outs, and that puts a lot of pressure on

674
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 3: the defense and certainly the spotlight on the offense a

675
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 3: little bit brighter going into this upcoming game against the

676
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts. Paris Johnson post game again lamenting the fact

677
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 3: that the offense didn't finish the game.

678
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 9: We need to finish And I know there's some plays

679
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,959
Speaker 9: here there, and I think, you know, let's just say

680
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 9: count for bad plays total catastrophic quote unquote, let's say

681
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 9: it's five plays. I know, if just one of those

682
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 9: plays would have won our way, the outcome would have

683
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 9: been different. But at the end, of the day, Like,

684
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 9: why do we have to be close? Why do have

685
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 9: to be close even this is a win? Like, why

686
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 9: do we have to be close with this being a loss?

687
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 9: It's like again, that's the like, that's the thing that

688
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 9: we're allowing to happen, putting the ball in other people's

689
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 9: hands to make those game winning decisions.

690
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 3: I think a very honest assessment there from Paris Johnson Junior,

691
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 3: one of the leaders in the locker room, and yeah,

692
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 3: you're up twenty one to three. Why did it have

693
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 3: to be close at the end of the game. Now,

694
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: most NFL games are within a score or ten points,

695
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 3: but Sunday should not have been anywhere close to a

696
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: one point game on either side.

697
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 5: And to his point, it's not the first time he's

698
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 5: made that point with the media. New Orleans should not

699
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 5: have been close, Carolina should not have been close. The

700
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 5: Cardinals defense should not have been on the field trying

701
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 5: to decide whether it was going to be a win

702
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 5: or a loss at the very end, going against the

703
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 5: opposing offense with the ball and a chance to put.

704
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 3: A w up there.

705
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 5: So I get it. It's still a young team in

706
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 5: a lot of ways, but they've learned the lesson more

707
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 5: than once. So now we come back to the original

708
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 5: point I made. Is this going to define your team?

709
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 5: Is this going to be a trade of this team

710
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 5: this year? Is this a pivot point and you're going

711
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 5: to learn and improve and you're gonna leave it in

712
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 5: the past, or this continue to define your team and

713
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 5: your season the rest of the year, because as of

714
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 5: right now, it's been a persistent theme.

715
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: Four thirty three on the clock, Cardinals had the ball

716
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 3: at their own twenty yard line. They end up punting,

717
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 3: could not converts on third and eight. It's a run play. Yes,

718
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 3: you're trying to get to the two minute warning. Should

719
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: you have thrown the ball? Jonathan Gannon mentioned on Monday

720
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 3: that yeah, maybe they, in hindsight, probably should have thought

721
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: of a different call, learning experience, and maybe there are

722
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 3: too many of those right now, Rob as far as

723
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 3: where this offense is.

724
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 4: At well, and that that particular moment was a huge

725
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 4: moment in the game, and we had three timeouts, could

726
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 4: have taken one and thought it over, talked it over,

727
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,479
Speaker 4: but yeah, you got to convert. You got to find

728
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 4: a way to get first downs and finished games, and

729
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 4: that you know, that's really where it's at and then

730
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 4: to me, each player has got to do their own

731
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 4: thing and.

732
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 3: The task does not get any easier. Trip to the

733
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 3: four win Indianapolis Colts coming up on Sunday. This is

734
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

735
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 4: Second and two at midfield.

736
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: Two receivers to the right, Heyward Jay wide left shotgun

737
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: snapped to Luck straight, drop back, looks right in trouble,

738
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: steps off head and sacked at the forty six yard

739
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 2: line by Campbell and Dockett.

740
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 4: Darnell Dockett and Kalais Campbell pat and Andrew Luck sandwich

741
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 4: a snap.

742
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 2: It now Luck back to throw, slides off, He gets nailed,

743
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: throws incomplete to the near side, almost picked off by

744
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: Tyron Matthew kalaias Campbell hammered Andrew Luck.

745
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 4: I don't know how Andrew Luck got off the ground

746
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 4: without a dust pan in a broom.

747
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 6: Wow?

748
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 4: Did he get hammered?

749
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 3: I want to know how long Kalais Campbell has been playing.

750
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: That was flash back to twenty thirteen when the Colts

751
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: were quarterbacked by Andrew Luck. The Cardinals defense had Darnell Dockett,

752
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 3: Tyron Matthew and yes Kalays Campbell.

753
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 5: Okay, you know who else the Cardinals had. That was

754
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 5: Ba's first year and where was Bruce Arians the year before,

755
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 5: the interim head coach of the Colts and Andrew Lux

756
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 5: quarterback coach offensive coordinator. So it can be said now

757
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 5: a decade plus later that down on the sideline, Cardinals

758
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 5: defense might have had a pretty good knowledge of what

759
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 5: the Colts were running and what they were shouting out

760
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 5: and a lot of what they are checking into. Let's

761
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 5: just say the football IQ the mental game. There was

762
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 5: a mental edge by the Cardinals defense courtesy you the

763
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 5: head coach.

764
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 3: Question this week, as the Cardinals play at the Colts

765
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 3: on Sunday ten am kickoff five thirty pregame coverage begins

766
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network. Do the Cardinals defense

767
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 3: rob have an answer or know the answer to the

768
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 3: questions that everyone wants to know? Is Daniel Jones for real?

769
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 3: And after five games James, this Colts team is four

770
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: and one. In Jones ranks third and passing fifth and

771
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 3: completion percentage, he leads the number two scoring offense at

772
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 3: almost thirty three points a game. Yes, Daniel Jones is

773
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 3: the real deal.

774
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he is. And you know, sometimes a

775
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 4: change of scenery is all you need. You look at

776
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 4: other quarterbacks throughout the league, like Baker Mayfield, what he's

777
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 4: been able to do, even Mac Jones, what he's done,

778
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 4: Sam Darnold obviously, Sam Donald. Yeah, so you know, Daniel

779
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 4: Jones has always been a quarterback that has unlimited talent.

780
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 4: He's got a great arm, he can run with the football.

781
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 4: I mean, just he was in a bad situation in

782
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 4: New York and I think this is really given him

783
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 4: a new life. And and he's got weapons around him.

784
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 4: You know, you obviously you Jonathan Taylor is one of

785
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 4: the best running backs in the league and he's he's

786
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 4: playing remarkable And and Tyler Warren, the tight end that

787
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 4: they just drafted, he's he's a phenomenal tight end. And

788
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals certainly are going to have to pay attention

789
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: to him and stopping this run game. But Daniel Jones

790
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 4: is here and he's ready for this season, and he's

791
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 4: playing really his best football Todate.

792
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 5: You know, Craig we went there obviously last year for

793
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 5: the joint practice and you get to know a roster

794
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 5: pretty well over those two days, and you see him

795
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 5: and you go against your guys, So you can get

796
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 5: a real gauge. Okay, you just looked at that team

797
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 5: and said they're a quarterback away. They're really stout in

798
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 5: the trenches. They got dudes, they have playmakers, they have defenders.

799
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 5: They have head coach who's very good. Just listening to

800
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 5: John in Agannon, he's very knowledgeable about Shane Styking. The

801
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 5: two years are together in Philadelphia. They needed a quarterback.

802
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson wasn't the guy, and now they have a

803
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 5: guy who has a playoff went on in his resume

804
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 5: as quarterback of the New York Giants. So you know,

805
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: that guy almost counts as two playoff wins considering the

806
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 5: situation he came from. So I'm not totally shocked. I mean,

807
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones is better than expected, but this team, this

808
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 5: team was waiting to bust out. They were a quarterback away.

809
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 3: Let's hear from Daniel Jones on the Colts four and

810
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 3: one start.

811
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 10: It's been fun. It's been a good start for us,

812
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 10: and I think, yeah, we're we're excited. We're confident as

813
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 10: a group, confident on offense and what we can do.

814
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 10: I think we've been We've been good throwing it we've

815
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 10: been good running it. I think it starts a lot

816
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 10: with the guys up front and how well they've played.

817
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 10: So we got to continue to grow, continue to progress.

818
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 10: But we're excited about our start.

819
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: That was from Sunday on the Field NFL on Fox,

820
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and the Colts four and one Sunday. Sorry,

821
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 3: rob beat up the Raiders forty to six, the second

822
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 3: time the Colts this season have scored forty or more

823
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 3: points and the third time this season they have won

824
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 3: a game by twenty or more points. Last season, Robbed,

825
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 3: they had zero wins by ten or more points. So

826
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: this Colts team offensively is rolling. And oh yeah, their

827
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 3: defense is pretty good. Number three in scoring, top five

828
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 3: in secs, interceptions, and takeaways. So you have a complete

829
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 3: team in Indianapolis here that the Cardinals will face on Sunday.

830
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, you really do. And as Paul mentioned, in the

831
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 4: trenches is where they're most impressive, I think. And they're

832
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 4: they're running the football, they're playing great defense, and Daniel

833
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 4: Jones is kind of the compliment that they needed. They

834
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 4: they needed Daniel Jones, a quarterback like him, to come

835
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 4: in and orchestrate it. And they're doing a great job.

836
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 4: Now that's a difficult environment playing in Indianapolis, right that,

837
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 4: that place is gonna be rocking, it's gonna be rolling,

838
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 4: it's gonna be loud for the Cardinals. To me, you know,

839
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 4: when when I played, and we always came off of

840
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 4: a bad situation, a bad loss or something. I loved

841
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 4: playing on the road. I loved going into a hostile

842
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 4: foreign environment and it just it was almost like us,

843
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 4: it's us against the world. And I think the Cardinals

844
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 4: need to adopt that mentality, they really do. They're at

845
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 4: the point in this season where it could go either way,

846
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 4: and if they have any inkling of you know, repairing

847
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 4: this season and fixing it and getting back on track,

848
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 4: they need to go into a hostile environment, I think,

849
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 4: and really turn things around. And this is a great opportunity.

850
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 5: So in Week three, the Colts beat the Titans forty

851
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 5: one to twenty.

852
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 4: Good. Good.

853
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 5: So maybe they're looking at the Cardinals fall into the

854
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 5: Titans late. They're coming off another forty burger last week.

855
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 5: As d Jamfers used to say, maybe the Colts are

856
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 5: smelling themselves right now. They come in they're thinking, all right,

857
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 5: you know what, We'll just go out there roll the

858
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 5: football out, we'll get a w. We'll go to five

859
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 5: and one. Our coach knows their head coach pretty well.

860
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 5: We'll see. We'll see what sort of edge of the

861
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 5: Cardinals bring. We know how unpredictable the NFL has been

862
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 5: this year. Absolutely, Cardinals and Colts. In week six, ten

863
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 5: am kickoff on Sunday five thirty pregame coverage begins and

864
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 5: of course we will talk about it, hopefully dissects a

865
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,360
