Caught my Kirk at the twenty at the 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: ten touchdown, baby fail. Here's Craig Grilou, Mike Jarecki and 10 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: Bertrand Berry. Was it perfect? Far from it? Was it impressive? Yeah? Times. 11 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: Bottom line, the Cardinals did what they were supposed to do, 12 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: go on the road and beat a Jets team that 13 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: had not won a ballgame. Final score on Sunday thirty 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: to ten. As the Cardinals after two straight losses, back 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: and the wind column and we are back talking about 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: a victory. Here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report. We 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: are with you every Tuesday morning, eleven to noon the 18 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: course of the entire season and offseason here on the 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network and MJ Yes, it was certainly 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: good and at times it looked very very good offensively, 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: defensively and special teams. But to a man and from 22 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: the head coach Cliff Kingsbury, a lot more needs to 23 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: be improved upon. It definitely passed the eye test when 24 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: it came to the passing game. I mean, clearly we've 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: been talking about Murray and those intermediate routes and locking 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: on receivers and maybe depending on DeAndre Hopkins, they were 27 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: able to spread the ball around. But I still think 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: there's there's meat on the bone that they obviously feel 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: like they could be better. And listening to Calvin Beecham 30 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: today just about the offense, he says, they really haven't 31 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: scratched the surface. I mean they want to have two 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: running backs of Roschio for one hundred yards in the game. 33 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: But I do think they made progress just based on 34 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: what happened in the last couple of weeks Beatrain. What 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: stood out to you as you watch that CONTs and 36 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: then heard what the players and coaches had to say afterwards, 37 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: all right, we all will get to be trained here 38 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: in a moment. But the Cardinals have now are back 39 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: above five hundred MJ and you look at how the 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: game started, it wasn't all that great, but at least 41 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: offensively as far as with a three, three and out start, 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: but then getting back on track. And I think that 43 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: is the rhythm that we've heard from Kingsbury time end 44 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: and time again. Is trying to find that and maintain 45 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: it through the course of a contest. Yeah, and that's 46 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: where you got to convert on third downs, and that's 47 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: when you get in the red zone. You got you 48 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: got to be efficient. And you know, you look at 49 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: the running game and the numbers. You know, the average 50 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: per carries is nice, but I think they mean they 51 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: need more efficiency, and that's where they feel like they 52 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: are leading, you know, yards on the field, and they 53 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: clearly want to run the football. But I just think, 54 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line I think did a good 55 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: job they were at to control the line of scrimmage 56 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: and he was only sacked once, and so I do 57 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: think there's progress, but I still think they really haven't played, 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, a full sixty minute game or complimentary football. 59 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: All right, let's try again touch base with bertrand Barry 60 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report. His thoughts what 61 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: he saw from Sunday's action. What I really saw a 62 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: team come out and play with assistant urgency, obviously having 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: the two games previous did not go as well. And 64 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: you had a team with the Jets that hadn't played 65 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: good football since the beginning of the season, and they 66 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: went out and did what they were supposed to do. 67 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: And when the team is struggling, you don't let them 68 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: get any momentum built up. And I think the Cardinals 69 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: did what they needed to do. It was a business trip. 70 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: They treated it as such, and they came out of 71 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: there with a much needed victory, and so you applaud 72 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: them for that. But I like what Mike said. You 73 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: don't get extra points for beating a team that's that's 74 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: really really bad. You still gotta go and clean up everything, 75 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: but you clean it up now with a much better 76 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: feeling about it, knowing that you got a much need 77 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: to win on the road. On last Sunday, Kyler Murray 78 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: through for a career high three hundred and eighty yards 79 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: added thirty one yards on the ground, yet afterwards had 80 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: this to say about where his team is at five 81 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: games into the season. You know, I don't want anybody 82 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: on the team to feel, you know, satisfied with what 83 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: happened today just because you know, that's that's not what 84 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be every weekend. And h you know, I 85 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: hope everyone knows that just because Sundays aren't easy. You know, 86 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: we got a good Dallas Cowboys team. We got to 87 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: play on Monday next week and there's gonna be a 88 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: lot of adversity and we gotta have to fight it 89 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: and um, you know, stick through it, stay together, and 90 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, keep fighting. That's a second year player, b 91 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: trained that is talking like a season veteran. Well, he's 92 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: also the quarterback in and we know that that position 93 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: requires a certain amount of leadership and and he is 94 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: taking a role full one, and I think that's encouraging. 95 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: He's having to be more demonstrative. He has to assert 96 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: himself more. He kind of wanted to kind of play 97 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: in the background a little bit, if you will. But 98 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: when you're the orderback, you are the guy, and they 99 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: expect you to be the guy that gets everybody, uh, 100 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: to get everybody's attention and get everybody where they're supposed 101 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: to be in. I think he's starting to understand that 102 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: and he's starting to really grow into this role. Everybody 103 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: needs to remember that this is only his second year 104 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: and he's only played five games into his second year, 105 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: so he's still learning what his role is going to 106 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: be here with this organization. But they have given him 107 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: the keys, and he's still learning how to how to 108 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: how to drive this this uh, this organization and this 109 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: and this title if you will, and learn how to 110 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: be comfortable in it. You know, over the last couple 111 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: of weeks, you could see he's grown up because he 112 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: was impressed with this team, the way they went to 113 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: Santa clau and beat the Niners, and the energy they 114 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: provided on the road against the division opponent, obviously a 115 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: team to representative conference. And then after the Panthers game, 116 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: he said, we kind of went in there just thinking 117 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: we're going to win the football game. Here you're playing 118 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: a desperate team. They don't have anything to lose. I mean, 119 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: they could have been reckless and going forward on Ford down, 120 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: but he felt like they went in there and they 121 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: were to take care of business. Where you can't take 122 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: any team lightly in the National Football League. The offense 123 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: had almost five hundred yards of total offense and really 124 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: would have had five hundred yards if it weren't for 125 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: the four yards they lost on the final three kneel downs. 126 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: Yet we talk about this and the thirty points, which 127 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: tied a season high, Yet there certainly seems to be 128 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: no satisfaction when it comes to the offense and what 129 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: this offense has the potential to be. If you're the 130 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: head coach, Cliff Kingsbury, we played harder, still not the 131 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: rhythm with which we want to play, a lot of 132 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: penalties that kind of moved us backwards and put us 133 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: in some second and long first and long situations that 134 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: we didn't overcome. But I felt like he was poised 135 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: and progressing through his reads, and those guys made made 136 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: some really nice place for him on the perimeter. We 137 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: have heard Kingsbury now MJ all season long bring up 138 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: the penalties, and the Cardinals on Sunday had ten, in fact, 139 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: have been penalized more and the three wins than they 140 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: have in their two losses. And that is what is 141 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: bothering Kingsbury right now, because even if you cut that 142 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: in half or by a third, you're still going to 143 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: get penalized. But what is happening in the head coach's 144 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: mind is penalties are hurting this offense. Try to stay 145 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: in rhythm, yeah, and we found out yesterday that there's 146 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: a thing called stalled penalties. Basically, your drives get stalled 147 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: because of penalties. And according to the NFL Official Reports 148 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: or website, the Cardinals have fifteen, which is the most 149 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL. And we talked about this yesterday on 150 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: Cards Cover two. If you just take four to seven 151 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: points there in every game, I mean thirty three percent 152 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: of the fifteen. Now, you know, in the division Seattle 153 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: has twelve stalls, the forty nine ers five in the 154 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: Rams four. Now, again they've only put in one division game, 155 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 1: but that was something that Kelvin Beach touched on today, 156 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: and really it's a negative plays to where they put 157 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: them behind the eight ball and you know, obviously they 158 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: feel like they're leaving points on the field. It's hard 159 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: to believe then be trained. With that said, on just 160 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: what this offense might become this season, well, I'm excited 161 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: when I see there's clear room for improvement. I really 162 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: believe that they have not scratched the surface on what 163 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: they really could be. And of course we've seen what 164 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins can be. Of course, he's having a great 165 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: start to his first season here with the Cardinals and 166 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: everybody's really happy about that, but you look at the 167 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: running game and you look at the other receivers who 168 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: have yet to get going. Really, I still think that 169 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: there are lots of points that can be had by 170 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: this offense and that can potentially set them up to 171 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: be one of the scarier offenses in the league for 172 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And there's no reason for them not to. 173 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: Looking at the skill positions and looking at the quarterback 174 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: and what he's doing as he continues to grow and develop. Yeah, 175 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: I really see this being a very explosive offense and 176 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: going to get better as time goes on. There was 177 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: great balance offensively from this team. On Sunday. Three different 178 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: players had rushing touchdowns. There were four players with at 179 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: least six targets and six players with at least two catches. 180 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: Yet it wasn't all good news be trained because the 181 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: Cardinals lost outside linebacker Chandler Jones to a biceps injury. 182 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: The latest is that he was undergoing an MRI on Monday, 183 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: and then after that a decision was going to be made. 184 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: Could he play this season or is it necessary for 185 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: him to undergo surgery which would cost him the rest 186 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: of the season. First and foremost be trained. The loss 187 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: of Jones and what that means for this defense absolutely devastating. 188 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: You're talking about the best defensive player on the roster, 189 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: hands down, a question about that, A guy that really 190 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: sets up everybody else. He's kind of like the point guard, 191 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: if you will, of the defensive lineman. He's able to 192 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: to take a lot of the pressure off of those 193 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: other defensive linemen and allowed them to flourish and get 194 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: those one on one matchup that everybody coverts. And your 195 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: heart just breaks. As a guy who lost a couple 196 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: of seasons due to injury, I had Trice's injury that 197 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: took two of mine, and so I knew exactly what 198 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: he's going through right now. Definitely heartbroken for him, and 199 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: hopefully it's not as serious as they say and he 200 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: could come back and play. But one thing to remember 201 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: as a defensive lineman, as a pass rusher, very difficult 202 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: to be successful if you don't have use of both 203 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: your hands. Yeah, good point, now we talked about this. 204 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: I just think it's a huge blow. Also, I mean 205 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: he finished with seventy five pressures in twenty nineteen. That's 206 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: more than double amount for the next Cardinals defender, and yeah, 207 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: he was off to a slow start, but you know, 208 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: other guys were getting sacks and at some point you 209 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: look at Aaron Downland. He got four sacks in one game. 210 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not going to happen all the time. 211 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: But I really wasn't worried about him with the sacks. 212 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: It was more about getting pressure, Knockdown's heads, lead the 213 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: turnovers and unfortunately they really haven't turned the ball over, 214 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: but just a huge blow and just having him on 215 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: the field. We always talk about when going against an 216 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: opposing coordinator or quarterback, when their game planning during the week, 217 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: they look at three guys on this defense, I believe, 218 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: and that is Chandler Jones. Obviously you look at Buddha 219 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: Baker and Patrick Peterson, just based on the nature of 220 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: the position he plays. Yes, the attention that Jones takes 221 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: and the time during the week that he takes up 222 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: for opposing offensive coordinators because you got to know where 223 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: number fifty five is. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury on 224 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: what Chandler Jones and the loss is going to me 225 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: into this team. Yeah, he's an incredible human being just 226 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: to be around. Never seen him without a smile on 227 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: his face, his work ethic, the energy brings to the 228 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: practice field. He's relentless and even when you know teams 229 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: are double triple team and he doesn't get down. He's 230 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: excited for everybody else's success. And he's a huge part 231 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: of this deal. Now you look internally and what the 232 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals might be able to do. First and foremost, you 233 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: hope to have Devon Kannard back on the field. He's 234 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: missed two weeks now because of a calf injury. And 235 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: then there's Kylie Fitz. There's his son Reddick Dennis Gardeck, 236 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: who had two sacks on Sunday. And then I gotta 237 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: ask Beatrane, has your phone rung at all? Are you 238 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: an option? Because back in your day you could rush 239 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback as well as anyone. And no, they don't. 240 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: They don't need to call me for anything other than advice. Brother, 241 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: I can't give them anything. I may have one, maybe 242 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: two third downs left in me and if they run 243 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: away from me, then you know I'm not gonna be 244 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: much of a factor. So they you know, Steve Kay 245 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: can save his time by calling me. He doesn't need 246 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: to do that, but I'll definitely be there to offer 247 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: up any help that I can from a mental standpoint, Beatrane. 248 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: We had Kyle Vanenbosch on the show on postgame show 249 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: cards talking and he brought up a point at and 250 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: you played the position. He said, this is one position 251 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: where you can try to get a guy and whether 252 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: they stay in house or you know, we know the 253 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: guys aren't growing on trees to rush the passer unless 254 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: you're Dwight Frenny he's up there in age. He said, 255 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: that's one position where you can come in and just 256 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, rush the passer versus trying to 257 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: learn every different ounces of the defense. You agree with that, 258 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: I think you can in if that's all your role 259 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: is supposed to be. Now, if you're going to be 260 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: a third down specialist and all they're asking you to 261 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 1: do is go get the quarterback, yes you can't be effective, 262 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: but you also have to be a guy that understands 263 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: the concept of the defense and the concept of the 264 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: rush on that particular player. Can't just be where you're 265 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: a rogue pass rusher out there on the edge. You 266 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: have to be able to rush within the confine of 267 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: the defense. That's called because if you're running up the 268 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: field and all the other guys or running to the 269 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: other side. Then that leads holes and pass rush lanes 270 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 1: for quarterbacks to escape. So yet you can, you can 271 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: assimilate yourself a lot quicker at that role, but you 272 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: still have to have some overall football like you in 273 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: order to really be a threat when you come in 274 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: and you're trying to get after the quarterback. So yeah, 275 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna rely on what they already have 276 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: in house, because I think that's great opportunity for a 277 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: fine Reddick and a monkan Arch really established themselves as 278 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: the future. Not to say that Chandler wasn't the president future, 279 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: but these are two young guys that they could be 280 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: a tanem that can really make them hay for a 281 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: lot of years for this Cardinal's defense if they play 282 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: the cards right. Another option failed to mention Isaiah Simmons, 283 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: who we know has been trying to figure out a 284 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: way to get on the field as much as possible, 285 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: and that might be an option for the Cardinals, and 286 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: they look internally to find a way to get some 287 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback. The Cardinals have fourteen sacks, so 288 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: it's not like they aren't getting pressure on the quarterback, 289 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: and that's with just Chandler Jones with the one sack. 290 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: But now you eliminate that presence on the field MJ. 291 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: And now maybe there's more one on one opportunities for 292 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: a Canard or a Reddick or Fits. And then how 293 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: does Spanish Joseph Now does he dial up more pressure 294 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: or blitzes if you will, to kind of combat what 295 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: you would have had if Jones is on the field. 296 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: You made a great point where maybe teams don't have 297 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: to have an extra tight end out there. You know, 298 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're going to try to spread 299 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: you out or have an h back or a fullback 300 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: that's going to chip him, and Cardinals have tried to 301 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: move them around. So I think offenses are going to 302 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: look at him a little bit different and until they 303 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: can legitally get to the rock pass rusher. But again, 304 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: other guys are gonna have to step up, and you 305 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: know how Sun Reddick is definitely flashed. I think they 306 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: miss Kennard hopefully's closer. I mean the fact that he 307 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: was on the trip that tells me he's close. And 308 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: then you got you know, guys like Kylie Fitz and 309 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Dennis Cardack, but you know. I think Isaiah Simmons, you know, again, 310 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: if they want to leave him in the front seven, 311 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: does he have the ability to rush the passer. I 312 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: guess we'll find out. The only update we have on 313 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: Kennard Kingsbury on Monday said back sooner rather than later. 314 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: We'll see the Cardinals on the practice field on Wednesday 315 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: of this and maybe we'll see Canard on the practice 316 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: field as well. Update to the latest version of the 317 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals mobile app today. The app features and all new 318 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: redesign home screen experience. Is it as Cardinals dot Com 319 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: slash app for more thirty to ten the final the 320 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: thirty points tied for a season high. The four hundred 321 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: and ninety six yards of offense a season high. Yes, 322 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: the offense more vertical north south rather than east and west. 323 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: We will touch on some of the big plays, including 324 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: from number ten DeAndre Hopkins, who continues to just thoroughly 325 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: impress early on in his Cardinals career five games in 326 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: and already leading the league in several offensive categories. It 327 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: is the Cardinals Red Sea report on the Arizona Cardinals 328 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: Radio Network. Shotguns and half to Kyler murt from the 329 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: pocket deep pass left side going for Hopkins one hand 330 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: to catch in a touchdown. DeAndre Hopkins was blanketed by 331 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: a jet, but it don't matter. Hopkins makes the catch 332 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals man just put the Jets to sleep. 333 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: Oh can you taste it right there? Maybe the fifty 334 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: fifty balls to the left of Kyler Murray and a 335 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: perfect pass. Hop That is big time with a one 336 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: hand snack. Perhaps the best all around receiver in the NFL. 337 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: Great hands, great vision, great speed. You know there was 338 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: a debate this offseason about number one wide receiver, who 339 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: would you rather have a Hopkins? A Julio Jones of 340 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, and I don't think there's any debates anymore, gentlemen. 341 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: Hopkins lead to the league in receptions, receiving yards, and 342 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: twenty nine of his forty five catches have come on 343 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: first down or gained a first down. That is also 344 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: tops in the NFL's We continue here on the Cardinals 345 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: Red Sea Report, Craig Rayel lou Mike Jarecki, and Bertram 346 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: Berry discussing all things Arizona Cardinals, coming off a win 347 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday against the New York Jets in which Hopkins 348 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: had six catches for one hundred and thirty one yards 349 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: and of course that touchdown thirty seven yards in which 350 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: MJ he kind of made that catch with his chests 351 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: and then the hand all the arm draped over the 352 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: chest to secure it. Two unbelievable catches on that scoring drive. Yeah, 353 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: and really two good throws. And you know in the 354 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: first half he only had two catches for twenty five yards. 355 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: And you know, he told his halfs at the game 356 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: he's had a conversation with Kyler Murray about, hey, I 357 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: may not look like I'm open, just throw it up there. 358 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously don't want to be reckless, but you 359 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: take your chances with him and a guy like Larry Fitzgerald. 360 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: And so you know, fitz had that same conversation with Kyler, 361 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: and you know, I was looking at his demeanor coming 362 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: into the sidelines, and I think he was getting a 363 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: little frustrated from a standpoint of he feels like he's 364 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 1: open all the time. And when you mentioned Michael Thomas, 365 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: obviously he was suspended for the game last night. He's 366 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: been dealing with injuries. Juligo Jones been dealing with injuries, 367 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: and that's one thing that you can count on with 368 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. He plays every Sunday. He might not practice 369 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 1: every single day train, however, he does arrive. He shows 370 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: up when it matters, and that is when the lights 371 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: is the brightest. And those our game days on Sunday. 372 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: Five games with the Cardinals b training three times now, 373 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: he's had at least one hundred and thirty yards receiving. 374 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: He's averaging over one hundred yards per game. And you 375 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: just talk about production and being able to be counted 376 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: on when you need it most. You throw the ball 377 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: to him, He's going to fetch it up. We've seen 378 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: this year after year throughout his career and we're just 379 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: glad that we have him. We think the Houston Texans 380 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: every day, we should be sending them up a little 381 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: bouquets every every week because, you know, we're so thankful 382 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: that they were able to part ways with such a 383 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: talent and uh, you know, but to see him up 384 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: close and pair him with the Larry Fitzgerald and the 385 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella and all these other weapons 386 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: that we have, it it just makes the potential so great. 387 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: And I think that's why there's so much there's so 388 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: many expectations from the Cardinals from an offensive standpoint, because 389 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: when you put a dynamic player in the mix with 390 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: an already talented roster, then you just expect things to 391 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: happen right away. We know it doesn't always happen that fast, 392 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: but you see it coming and you see with this 393 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: offense could potentially be and it you can't help but 394 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: get excited to actually see this whole thing come together 395 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: and show what they can really do when all systems 396 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: are clicking and both of those deep shots happening late 397 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: and the contests and it seemed like something that was 398 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: maybe set up in the first half for a deep 399 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: shot contest in the second half. MJ just on how 400 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: things evolved, because yes, there were some deep throws, but 401 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: more towards the middle of the field, and those were 402 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: two shots down the left side light. They were forty 403 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: five and thirty seven. You know, he was able to 404 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: push the ball down the field, averaging nine point nine 405 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: yards per ten that's a lot higher than it's been 406 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: the first four weeks. That's as high as marked this season. 407 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: Also completed four or seven passes when he threw fifteen 408 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: yards down the field, which is another season high mark. 409 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: You know, obviously he felt more comfortable. He had protection, 410 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: they were able to use as to play action and 411 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: guys were getting open, you know, for the most part, 412 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: and he didn't feel like he was forcing it. Yeah, 413 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: Hopkins targeted seven times six catches. He averaged almost twenty 414 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: two yards a catch. After the ballgame, he talked about 415 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: his two key catches down the stretch. I've seen you know, 416 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 1: cover one, you know, one high safety, which means you know, 417 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: meet one on one with a cornerback and you know, 418 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: I like my eyes and I was just you know, 419 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: telling Kylie just trust me. The guy was off, the 420 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: corner was off. You know, he wasn't close to me, 421 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: but you know, I was telling to, you know, give 422 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: me a chance, and you know, let's work on some things. 423 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: It reminds me m J of when Kurt Warner first 424 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: arrived and him learning what Larry Fitzgerald means when I'm open, 425 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: even if there was a defender close by or draped 426 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 1: over me. And I think Kyler Murray learned it last 427 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: year with fits and is learning it with DeAndre Hopkins 428 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah. And it's not like he you know, 429 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: obviously the first couple of weeks, teams weren't covering like 430 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: we thought they would. So you're going to target him, 431 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: but you know, you feel like he's not a speed guy. 432 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: He does get separation, he can run every route in 433 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: the route tree. I'll take my chances with him. So again, 434 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: that's just they just need more time together and they'll 435 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: they'll have hand signals at some point when they get 436 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage what do you see and 437 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: that will go a long way. But you know, obviously 438 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: without you know, the offseason and everything else, and they 439 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: did get together for a small period of time in Texas, 440 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: but I think as a season goes, you'll start to 441 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: see the chemistry and the timing get a lot better. 442 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: After last week's contest, Beatran, all the talk or a 443 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: lot of the talk was about the vertical passing game 444 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: and where was it and had disappeared and there was 445 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: too many receiver screens. And I don't know if maybe 446 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: after four weeks there has been a change in offensive 447 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: philosophy or if it was what the Jets defense did 448 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: or didn't do. I think we need more time, but 449 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: it certainly looked a lot better from an offensive standpoint 450 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday, look better because they were running the football 451 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: and when you have success running the football on the 452 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: first half, then you have to commit more guys to 453 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: the running game. Then that's what opens up the passing 454 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: game in the second half. And that's a formula that's 455 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: been tried and true for many many years in the NFL. 456 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: Running football. Then you set them up in the second half, 457 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: and that's what we saw when you see Kenyan Drake 458 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: and Chase Edmonds and even Kyler Murray. You know, get 459 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: to running the football. You've got to pay attention to 460 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: that now. And when you have more guys at the 461 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage or around the line of scrimmage, then 462 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: that opens up those those big chances that you can take. 463 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: And fortunately with the success that they had and you 464 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: see with Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins are able to do. 465 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: It's really scary. But the key is you got to 466 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: establish the run first, and once you established that run, 467 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: then everything else opens up. As far as the playbook, 468 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty seven yards rushing, three touchdowns by 469 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: three different players Murray, Chase Edmonds, and Kenyan Drake. First 470 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: time since two thousand and nine the Cardinals had three 471 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: different players score a rushing touchdown and a game Murray 472 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: talking about getting the hand ball and the hands of 473 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: his playmakers. We got weapons, and I think you know, 474 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: we got we gotta we gotta use our guys. And 475 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think you see that with the players 476 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: out there, you know, just letting d Hub do his thing, 477 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: letting see Kurt do his thing, Andy, all the guys 478 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: that we have. We have a lot of dudes, like 479 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: I said, you know, before the season, So you know, 480 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: at some point you just gotta let them go, let 481 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: them do what they do, try to get the ball 482 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: in their hands. And that's my job. And it's not 483 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: an e G job, MJ. Because when you look at 484 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: all the names that Murray mentioned, and then you add 485 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: a tied end and all of the other guys that 486 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: want to be involved in the offense. If more targets 487 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: or more touches are directed at one player, that comes 488 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: at the expense of another. And with all of these weapons, 489 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: as Murray said, how do you keep everyone happy or 490 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: is it just hey, the offense is moving up and 491 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: down the field. Well, I think it's the ladder and 492 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys would sacrifice touches at 493 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: least for wins because this team feels like when they 494 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: start clicking, they can be one of the better or 495 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: more explosive offenses in football. And you know, he look 496 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: down the list guys that were targeted, Hopkins, Kirk, Edmunds, Fitzgerald, Daniels, 497 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: Isabella Shorefield, Keyshawn Johnson, one Kenyan Drake. And the thing is, 498 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: I know people are wondering why they don't throw the 499 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: ball to Kenyan Drake, possibly more because you don't want 500 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: to tip your hand when he's in the game. But 501 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: the way Chase Sepmons is running and the way he 502 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: catches the ball in the open field, he makes guys 503 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: miss I understand that he's more of a priority when 504 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: it comes to a passing game. There's a lot of 505 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: been some talk Beatran as well about how to get 506 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: the ball more in the hands of Edmonds as well. 507 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: Ninety two yards from scrimmage based off his rushing and 508 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: receiving on Sunday, and he also had a thirty one 509 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: yard kickoff return as well. But you talk about that 510 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: one two punch at running back. Drake and Edmonds good 511 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: complimentary pieces, and I don't know if there can be 512 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: a true balance or a one two punch, if you will, 513 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: because Kingsbury just doesn't operate that way at the running 514 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: back position. No, he doesn't operate that way. But I 515 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: think it's great to have the luxury if one guy 516 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: gets a lot of care he gets gassed, you don't 517 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: have to worry about a drop off if you bring 518 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: in the backup. And one thing about Chase, we know 519 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: he loves playing in the New York area as a 520 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: former Fordham alum or as a Fordham lum. He's a 521 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: guy that's very comfortable up there in on the East Coast, 522 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: and so it's good to see him getting getting off 523 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: and having some plays and and we know what kind 524 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: of talent he is. It's just a matter of him 525 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: getting the opportunity. But I really believe that if they 526 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: really want to focus and showcase these two running backs, 527 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: I think they could And I think he would create 528 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: a lot of problems because when you start talking about 529 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: matchups and coming out of the backfield, is going to 530 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: be a linebacker to be a safety trying to cover them. 531 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: I think they're a mismatch either way, and so that 532 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: that becomes part of the of the chess match. If 533 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: you will, for coach keating Berry against opposing de sensive coordinators, 534 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: and I like our chances when you start putting those 535 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: guys up against those particular positions and saw a lot 536 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: of times more often than not MJ with Drake and 537 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: edms on the field together on Sunday. Yeah, I like 538 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: that because you can do a lot of different things. 539 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: Now after five games, when it comes to snaps, Drake's 540 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: playing sixty seven percent of the snaps and Chase Evans 541 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: about thirty seven percent. So I think that will. I 542 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: don't know if we're gonna have a full balance there, 543 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: but I do think Chase Emons has earned more opportunities. 544 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: We have hit the halfway point here on this edition 545 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals Red Sea Report. When we come back, 546 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: we'll touch on the defense and who made the biggest 547 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: impact on Sunday Bird Gang.

Dennis Gardak 554 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: by the way, is playing Chandler Jones position right now 555 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: at right outside linebacker. Second down and ten back to 556 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: throw flacoh sacked by Guardck. Oh my goodness, what a 557 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: move by Dennis Gardak. The Barbarian came inside hair, flying 558 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: blacko in the pocket, gonna get hit and sacked. Dennis 559 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: Gardak got him again. And then Dennis Gardak doing an 560 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: interesting sack dance where he just kind of bounced back 561 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,959 Speaker 1: and forth on his feet with his hands out, palms up. 562 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what he was asking for. What is good, Guardck? 563 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: Dennis Gardak got up and did a little Barbarian dance 564 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: around the fire. Two tackles, two sacks, two tackles for loss, 565 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: two quarterback hits. And he did all that in just 566 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: ten snaps on Sunday, the first ever defensive snaps and 567 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: Dennis Gardeck carreras. We continue here on the Cardinals reds. 568 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: He were Craig Rayelu, Mike Drecki, and Bertram Berry. Cardinals 569 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: get the job done. Dennis Gardeck got the job done 570 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Jets thirty to ten b train. 571 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: How tough is that from Gardak? Your first defensive snaps 572 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: and I get it, it's against the Jets, but that 573 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's it's an NFL team. And yet here 574 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: he is literally off the street if you well as 575 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: far as defense is concerned, and produces two sacks and 576 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: the words of the immortal sugar Free, if you stay ready, 577 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: you ain't got to get ready. And one thing we 578 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: know about Dennis Gardeck, he's always ready. And that's when 579 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: opportunity meets chance. And he had his chance to go 580 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: in and take your business, and that's exactly what he did. 581 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: That's why he wears the sea. It's not necessarily for defense, 582 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: but it's because he's a guy that the team looks 583 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: to as a leader and a guy that you want 584 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: to mimic as far as his preparation, his commitment to 585 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: the team, and you saw all that on full display 586 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: in those ten plays, able to really make the most 587 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: of his handful of snaps in and that's what happens 588 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: when you are ready to go, and no matter what 589 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: they ask you to do, you're willing to do it 590 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: at a one hundred percent. So happy for Dennis and 591 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: a guy that has really worked his tail off, and 592 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: you root for guys like that, and good things always happened. 593 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: Uh for for for guys that put in the work 594 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: like dnnis does, his effort certainly rewarded. As we take 595 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: you inside the Cardinals locker room Acy Cardinals dot Com 596 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury, there are five am when I 597 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: walked through, all right to get breakfast works his ass 598 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: off had two saxes A Jennis Garden appreciate your boys, 599 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: appreciate short and sweet the acceptance speech from Gardeck in 600 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: the locker room. Given a game ball, and yes, quite 601 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: this story. Someone undrafted and makes the team vias veial 602 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: team sticks with it inside linebacker and MG this offseason 603 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: moved to outside linebacker and undersize. Yet you look at 604 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: what he was able to do. That first sack, you 605 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: had a nice inside move on the left tackle. And 606 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: then the second sack, it was a bull rush against 607 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: the right tackle to get to Joe Flacco. Yeah, and 608 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: prior to that he got pancakes. So he must have 609 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: got a chance to say, all right, I'm in the 610 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: game now as a defensive player. Yeah. I mean, if 611 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Jets were obviously throwing the ball because 612 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: they are trying to at least get some garbage stats, 613 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: I guess at the end, or just make the game closer. 614 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: But for the most part, I mean, he comes in 615 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: with a lot of energy. He plays with his hair 616 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: on fire. He's he's an underdog. He's not the biggest guy. 617 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: And you know, if you don't, you know, bring your 618 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: a game. He's gonna just not so much physicality, but 619 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: his energy's gonna he's gonna get past you. His first 620 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: defensive snaps Gardeck after the ball game on the nerves, 621 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: and then whatever he was doing after the sack. So 622 00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: when I was out there, at first, I was really 623 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: nervous and I was trying to laugh and joke about it. 624 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: Um So then when I was excited, I just let 625 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: myself be excited. The one with the arms out spinning around, 626 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: we call that turning the ConA, which is what you 627 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: do as a pass rusher, and it's just, uh, you 628 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: spin around on one foot. It's easy for you know, 629 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: somebody that doesn't have much rhythm. So that's kind of 630 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: my go too, called turning the ConA. All right, b train, 631 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: we got the explanation. How would you rate the Dennis 632 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: Gardack sack dance? Oh? I was impressed. I mean to 633 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: have that on file and ready to go. I mean 634 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,479 Speaker 1: one that means that he envisioned himself one day actually 635 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: making a play and so uh he saw this coming 636 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: and and the fact that he was ready and once 637 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: he got once he got the shack, he was he 638 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: was he was ready with his dance. It just goes 639 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: to show there's nothing like the excitement of being on 640 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: the field on a Sunday and and having an opportunity 641 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: to go out and make a play for your team 642 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: and help your team win. And uh, that's just that's 643 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: just excitement personified. And and that's what Dennis Guardack really 644 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: is like. He's just walking excitement. He's a guy that's 645 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: if you just around him any amount of time, you 646 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: can see he's always in a good mood. Doesn't always 647 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: have a lot to say, but he just has that 648 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: energy about him at five that people gravitate to. And 649 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: that's why they had no problems flitting him in there. 650 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: They trusted him, and he responded by going out and 651 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: making a few plays. Just goes to show you hard 652 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: work does pay off. Here's the head coach, Cliff Kingsbury. 653 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: I mean I see it every day in practice. He 654 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: is hell on wheel is going on scout team against 655 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: our offensive line and they hate trying to block him 656 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: because he's non stop. He's relentless. I mean, he just 657 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: keeps going and the play is never over for him. 658 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: You know. He's the guy who gets there earlier than 659 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: everybody's studies harder than any player I've ever seen, and 660 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: just awesome to see. What a great story and it's 661 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: fun to watch him now. That car deck he counted 662 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: for two of the three sacks. The other sack was 663 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: by Buddha Baker, who, after one week missing because a 664 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: thumb surgery, played every single defensive snap with a cast 665 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: on his thumb MJ and led the team in tackles 666 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: with ten, also a tackle for loss, the sack, and 667 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback hit. Yeah, and you notice the tackling was 668 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,479 Speaker 1: a lot better, right, absolutely, And across the board. Guys 669 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: weren't running free in the secondary, and that's going to 670 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: happen when obviously you're playing young safeties like they were 671 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: at least earlier in the season. But again, there's not 672 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: a lot of Buddha Bakers out there. I think he's 673 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: one of the best safeties in the league. I think 674 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: the organization realized that when they rewarded him. But just 675 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,959 Speaker 1: the way he plays and the way he flying around 676 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: the ball and all the different plays he can make. 677 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about bringing energy, he brings a 678 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: lot of energy on game day. It's hard to say 679 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: that it's just one player. But when you look at 680 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: the numbers, betray and the Jets four thirteen on third down, 681 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: they didn't convert either of their two fourth down opportunities 682 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: and just one of three in the red zone. Is 683 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 1: it just as simple as hey, we've got Buddha Baker, 684 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: You don't, Yeah, it really is. And when you start 685 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: talking about, like Mike said, he's one of the best 686 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: safeties in the business, and we're glad that he's on 687 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: our team and we're glad that he's locked up for 688 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: foreseeable future. And when you put him out there, that's 689 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: what he does. And when he's not out there, as 690 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: we saw the previous week, it's not quite as good. 691 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: The tackling is not quite as solid, the communication is 692 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: not quite as clear, and you miss a guy like 693 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: bud the Baker. And it was a very night and 694 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: day what it's like to have him on the field 695 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: as opposed to not having him on the field, So 696 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: as much as he can keeps him healthy, we need 697 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: to do everything we can because he is definitely a 698 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 1: difference maker when he's on the field. For the Cardinals 699 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: defense didn't have a takeaway b train, but when you're 700 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: in the red zone and you stop a team on 701 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: downs and then you do it twice as far as 702 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: stopping an opponents on fourth down, we talk about energy 703 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: and that's how you build your own energy, is it 704 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: not no question? And you know I always say when 705 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: you go in the road, you bring your defense and 706 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: you bring the special teams, and I thought the Cardinals 707 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: did a good job of doing that. And I don't 708 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: care that it's in New York Jets, because that is 709 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: an NFL football team. They may not have, they may 710 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: not have the record that they would like, but trust me, 711 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: that is a very talent of the team. If you 712 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: let a team like that get momentum in the first half, 713 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: first quarter, they can use that and make it a 714 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: long day for you. And so the fact that the 715 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals did what they needed to do it was very 716 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,439 Speaker 1: encouraging and hopefully they can build upon that going into 717 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: Dallas mixed Monday. To that point, the Cardinals on Sunday. 718 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: MJ allowed season lows and points, total yards, passing yards, 719 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: yards per play, average yards per play pass play should say, again, 720 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: it gets the Jets, but it's be trained pointed out, 721 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: they're an NFL team and now you've got to build 722 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: on that and stack those performances. Yeah, I mean it's 723 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, again, to me, we would have signed up 724 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: for a one point win. But I'm glad they went 725 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: there and we're able to take care of business. I mean, 726 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: you can't control what their roster looks like. I mean, 727 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: unfortunately for them, they didn't have their quarterback, Levan was 728 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: coming off, you know, an ankle injury. So I mean, 729 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: you got to just take care of business. But I'm 730 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: glad it wasn't close. And again they could have put 731 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: up forty points in that game. Yeah, Cardinals certainly left 732 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: points on the field. And then we heard from Dvandre 733 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: Campbell earlier today that they defensively didn't quite like what 734 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: they had as a defense of as a defensive performance, 735 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 1: they allowed over one hundred yards rushing and that's always 736 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: kind of been the benchmark because we always here, stop 737 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: the run is number one, and you want to make 738 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: that hundred yards or less in the Cardinals right now, 739 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: I have not been able to do that. No, And 740 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: you know clearly, you know when it came to the Cardinals, 741 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: you know, with Flacco, I mean, at some point you 742 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: know he's going to make the throws and Jamison Crowder 743 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: is probably their biggest threat there and you know some 744 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: other guys. But for the most part, I just thought, 745 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, they were to get them off on third down. 746 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: They were able to you know, hold them to field 747 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: our one field goal versus touchdowns in the red zone. 748 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: And that's something we didn't see in the previous games 749 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: against the Panthers and Lions. Yeah, the difference one week 750 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: makes defensively for the Cardinals and now you've got to 751 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: do it's against the Dallas Cowboys, but you're you gain 752 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: a Buddha Baker b trained, but you'll lose a Chandler Jones. 753 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: And now it's probably going to be a lot of 754 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,919 Speaker 1: rallying the troops to overcome that loss. As we touched 755 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 1: on earlier on the show, it's got to be strength 756 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: and numbers, and as we've talked about, I would employ 757 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick and Devon Karnard to be the Cataish don't 758 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: want to have to go outside and try to bring 759 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: in somebody to try to replicate what Chandler Jones has been. 760 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity for those two individuals. I 761 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: know that they have relished an opportunity like this, and 762 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: now it's on them. And you got a big showcase 763 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: in Dallas. It's Monday night football, it's primetime TV. What 764 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: better way to make a name for yourself and what 765 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: better team to do it against then the team that 766 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: gets all of the attention, rightfully so or otherwise, And 767 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys, so I think if they or 768 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: they are we think they are attended, then they will 769 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: go out and they will handle their business and they 770 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: will do what they need to do to help get 771 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: this team to win. Cardinals back in the win column 772 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: after a two game losing streak. They'll take a three 773 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: and two record into next week's contests against the Dallas Cowboys, 774 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: which we'll get into on the other side. Here is 775 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: the Cardinals with an extra day of quote, rests and 776 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: preparation before playing the Cowboys on Monday Night football.

That is more than any player 797 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. By the way, Kyler Murray 798 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 1: on that list as well. He's got three touchdown runs 799 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 1: of twenty or more yards in the last couple of seasons. 800 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: As we walcome me back here to the Cardinals Red 801 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: Sea Report Graig Gray, lu Mike Jarecki, and Bertram Berry, 802 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: as we put the spotlight on the Cardinals and Cowboys 803 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: Week six, Monday Night Football. It's the matchup that everyone 804 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: looked at and circled on the calendar when the schedule 805 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: was released in the off season. There is certainly going 806 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: to be a lot of attention on the head coach 807 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, a lot of the attension on the quarterback 808 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Going back to the state of Texas, Calvin 809 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: Beecham earlier today addressing the media, and he is another 810 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: Texas player that is going back to his home state, 811 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: played at SMU, yet he said, quote, this is the 812 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: next opponents. When asked about Monday Night Football, Dvandre Campbell 813 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: on the matchup, quote every week is the same. To me, 814 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: be train you buying any of this, No, not at all, 815 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: Especially as a native Texan who has such a disdain 816 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. You know that this is not 817 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,399 Speaker 1: a normal game because for one and it's in your home, 818 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: it's in your home state, and for those Texans, it's 819 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: also Monday night football. It's the only game in town 820 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: that night. So no, it's not the same as as 821 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: just another game. And I love the attitude to go 822 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: at it from a business like perspective. But once you 823 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: fly and you touch down on that soil and you 824 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: know it's home and you get to see some familiar faces, 825 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: you want to go out there and perform well. And 826 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: we know historically what this team has been and what 827 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: they've meant to the NFL, blah blah blah. But if 828 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: you can go out there and perform well against a 829 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: team like this, it really elevates you to another level. 830 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: And I know for a lot of Cardinals they're looking 831 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: for that elevation come Monday Night. And it looks like 832 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: they're going to have fans. In Week two they had 833 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: like twenty one thousand fans, So the fans will be 834 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: there now, be trained just playing on Monday night where 835 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: it's the only game in town. And there's a lot 836 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,240 Speaker 1: of Cardinal players that have never played on Monday night football. 837 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: Of course, the guy's been in the league half, what's 838 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: the like the first time it's nothing like it. I mean, 839 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,800 Speaker 1: for one, you're playing much of a heire, so you 840 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: have to really adjust the time clock in your body, 841 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,439 Speaker 1: because that's that's an element that a lot of people 842 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: don't think about. You used to kickoffs either at two 843 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: o'clock or if you're on the East Coast, ten o'clock, 844 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: so you're used to playing earlier, and you're not used 845 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: to having that extra day to have to wait and 846 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: anticipate going out to play. So it has this upside 847 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: of it also has this downside. So the thing that 848 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: I would tell like I just never played on Monday night. 849 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: It's just, hey, look, don't don't play the game before 850 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: the game is played, meaning don't get all emotionally bent 851 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: out of shape before you actually get to the stadium 852 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 1: and get yourself ready to go out there and play. 853 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: When you when you have that much time before the game, 854 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,760 Speaker 1: some guys tend to, you know, they they're so wound 855 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: up trying to think about the game and what they 856 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: want to do that they forget that they have to 857 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: get that rest before they go out there and play. 858 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: So just go out there, relax, do what you've always done, 859 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: read your keys, and just just fleeball because it is 860 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 1: a game, but you know that there's a little more 861 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: to it than just the normal game. It is Monday 862 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: Night football forget to six. Five fifteen is the kickoff. 863 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 1: The Cowboys two and three and led by now quarterback 864 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton after the ankle injury to Dak Prescott on Sunday. 865 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 1: The Cowboys still have Ezekiel Elliott, a pretty banged up 866 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: offensive line, but some good pass catchers as well. Their defense, though, 867 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: allows a lot of yards and points. So this very 868 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 1: well could be a shootouts on Monday Night football, and 869 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 1: we will talk about it one week from today here 870 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report Special.
