Does that apply to coaches 17 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 6: and specifically head coach Jonathan who was hired one year 18 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 6: and one week ago. Yes, you want to see more 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 6: in the way of wins. Gannon mentioned that after the 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 6: season ended on his postseason presser, and yes, that's where 21 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 6: everyone will look first. 22 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 3: How many more. 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 6: Wins does a head coach get? Because four and thirteen 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 6: is just not going to cut it. 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: In twenty twenty four. 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 6: But to someone who played the game, Rob, can you 27 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 6: see improvements not only on the field, but off the 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 6: field when it comes to the head coach, the coaching staff, 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 6: and maybe even the front office as well. 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, And you know a player like you mentioned 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 7: in the opening, the biggest the biggest ascension you see 32 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 7: is from that rookie season to the second season. And 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 7: a lot of that is just due to that that 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 7: rookie season is both a whirlwind and an eternity at 35 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 7: the same time, if that makes sense. I mean, things 36 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 7: are happening so fast and so much as being thrown 37 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 7: at you, and yet the season drags on. It feels 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 7: like forever you hit that that rookie wall, everyone hits it. 39 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 7: But the best players, the players that that do make 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 7: that transition and become successful football players, are the ones 41 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 7: that in that offseason really understand what it takes to 42 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 7: be successful in this league. That's a lot of that 43 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 7: has to do with, you know, latching on to a 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 7: to a veteran and and finding somebody, finding a mentor, 45 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 7: and and really learning the ways of the NFL, both 46 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 7: in terms of taking care of your body and and 47 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 7: also doing some self evaluation. I think the same thing 48 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 7: goes for coaches. You know, Jonathan Gannon, I think he 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 7: did a lot of good things his first season, but 50 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 7: there's a lot of things that he's going to look 51 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 7: back on and he's going to learn from, and he's 52 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 7: going to understand. He's going to look at other coaches, 53 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 7: going to reach out to other coaches and and uh, 54 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 7: you know, really put together what he what he believes 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 7: is going to be the set of tools that will 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 7: best help him be a better coach for this team 57 00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 7: going forward. 58 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 8: Interesting to see Seattle. Seattle's the new Arizona. They get 59 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 8: a first time head coach, thirty six years of age, 60 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 8: really young, first time coordinators right, first time DC, first 61 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 8: time OC. So interesting. What Seattle is doing right now 62 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 8: sort of replicates what the Cardinals did last offseason with 63 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 8: Jonathan Gannon, who there's no doubt established his expectations, really 64 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 8: put his culture into the foundation right of this and 65 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 8: they had accountability that the owner Michael Bidwill cited in 66 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 8: making the coaching change this time just over a year ago. 67 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 8: I think we can all agree being around this team 68 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 8: and seeing the way they played, that was established that 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 8: accountability had a friend of mine and his family goes 70 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 8: back to season ticket days holding him at Sundeville Stadium 71 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 8: from nineteen eighty eight. Okay, and he's a good friend 72 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 8: of mine. 73 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: But he's wrong. 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 8: He's wrong when he said when he said, you know what, 75 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 8: the season would have been perfect if not for the 76 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 8: Philadelphia win, because that Philadelphia win costs the Cardinals the 77 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 8: number two pick. No, that's the wrong answer, because to 78 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 8: go into Philadelphia and set down that sort of win 79 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 8: and that's established that sort of physicality and send that 80 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 8: sort of message, and then that engender is that sort 81 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 8: of buy in from that locker room and they know 82 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 8: the process is working and they can believe in the 83 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 8: coaches and they see, okay, this is what happens if 84 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 8: you follow everything that the coaching staff in the GM 85 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 8: is preaching. And then to have a second half like 86 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 8: Kyler Murray put out there three touchdown passes in the 87 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 8: second half, and to beat Philadelphia and have all the 88 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 8: Eagles fans turned on their own team and boo their 89 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 8: own head coach leaving the field when it started off, 90 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 8: when they had the ir of Jonathan Gannon, their former 91 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 8: DC at the beginning of the game, just the evolution 92 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 8: over four quarters to me was something to behold. It's 93 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 8: something that you can rest on throughout the entire offseason. 94 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 8: So to me, that was just evidence of what has 95 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 8: been established, not. 96 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 6: So much expectations, but a standard. I think this head coach, 97 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 6: this coaching staff, they have a standard and we saw it. 98 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: Rob. 99 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 6: If you were not meeting that standard or they don't 100 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 6: think you can handle what their standard is, well one 101 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 6: either not gonna play or you're just not gonna have 102 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 6: a uniform that says Arizona Cardinals on it. 103 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's what you have to do. I mean, 104 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 7: as Jonathan Gannon did a great job of establishing that standard, 105 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 7: changing the culture. You know, not not that it was 106 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 7: a horrible here. It wasn't like this is the worst 107 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 7: place on earth, but there needed to be a different voice. 108 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 7: There needed to be a different compass. There needed to 109 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 7: be a different direction for this organization, for this team. 110 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 7: And I think Jonathan Gannon has the team. He didn't 111 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 7: lose the team could very well have happened. When you 112 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 7: when you have a season like that, when when you're 113 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 7: working hard and and you're not bearing any fruit from 114 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 7: from all that labor, it very easily that that messaging 115 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 7: and that that talk can go stale, it can go 116 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 7: on deaf ears with players after a while. But it didn't, 117 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 7: and the players continued week after week to play hard 118 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 7: and and you know, to give they're all and that 119 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 7: to me is a sign that something is clicking and 120 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 7: this is catching on and and the Cardinals are set 121 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 7: up for the future. 122 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 8: Late in the season, Jonathan Gannon made a comment that 123 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 8: it's a hard way to play the way I want 124 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 8: these guys to play. 125 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 3: It's difficult. 126 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 8: Not everybody buys into this sort of you know, mindset 127 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 8: and this sort of physicality over four quarters. I always 128 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 8: like to hear what the opponent has to say after games, 129 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 8: and how many times did we say, man, that's a 130 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 8: physical team. When they start to get some more talent 131 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 8: at certain key positions, that's really going to pay off. 132 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 8: So I think this past season was not just a 133 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 8: process of figuring out the coaches and getting the coaches experience, 134 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 8: but the coaches and the GM figuring out which players 135 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 8: are on board with this, which players are geared up 136 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 8: to actually invest and buy into this sort of manner 137 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 8: of playing, and those who aren't. I think you saw it. 138 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 8: It was a process throughout the entirety of the season. 139 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 8: But when they cut a guy like Marco Wilson going 140 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 8: into that Philadelphia game, there's still figuring out who's in, 141 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 8: who's out, who needs to be on board, and what 142 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 8: else do we need going into the off season. 143 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 6: You mentioned buying from day one, Kyler Murray bought in 144 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 6: to head coach Jonathan Gannon. Here is k one. 145 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 9: He was here of an interview, chopped it up with 146 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,559 Speaker 9: him for about fifteen minutes in the weight room before 147 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 9: he had to go do his thing, And I mean, 148 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 9: at that moment, you know, I knew it was, you know, 149 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 9: an instant as far as okay, this guy, you know, 150 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 9: his his knowledge of the game and how he sees 151 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 9: the game and stuff like that. And then obviously he 152 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 9: got the job, and from that day on it was, 153 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 9: you know, it was kind of like, oh, I won't 154 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 9: say when you meet your best friend, but that type 155 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 9: of like you know that it was instant as far 156 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 9: as you know, we kind of speak the same language. 157 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 6: And that's big because that connection between a head coach 158 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 6: and quarterback and I know I'm speaking to a defensive player, 159 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 6: but that connection, that relationship might be the most importance 160 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 6: between head coach and a player in that locker room. 161 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 6: Because this is a quarterback driven league. I've been saying 162 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 6: that for years. It's no secret around the league. But 163 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 6: you need to have that buy in from your franchise player. 164 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 6: In this case it's Kyler Murray. 165 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 7: Well you do, and and not only buy in from 166 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 7: your franchise player, but buy in from the leader of 167 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 7: the team. And that's what Kyler Murray is. That's what 168 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 7: your quarterback is in this league, has to be your leader. 169 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 7: And there's been tremendous growth from Kyler Murray in that regard. 170 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 7: I mean, he's he's leaps and bounds different from from 171 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 7: what he was just a couple of seasons ago in 172 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 7: terms of just his leadership and maturity and and and 173 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 7: for him to accept Jonathan Gannon immediately and to buy 174 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 7: into what Jonathan Gannon is selling. Uh to me, that 175 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 7: that's really what it's all about. Because as a player, 176 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 7: you always kind of look to your quarterback to be 177 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 7: the leader. And and hey, okay, he's in he's in 178 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 7: here working out in the off season. Never done that before. 179 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 7: You know, he's in the in there watching film, never 180 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 7: done that before. I mean, I haven't seen that in 181 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 7: the off season. So when you when you're starting to 182 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 7: see different habits from your leader, from your quarterback, that 183 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 7: makes everybody else say, okay, okay, this is the way. 184 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 7: And that's a testament to Jonathan Gannon and to Kyler Murray. 185 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 8: And Rob is it out of line to say the 186 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 8: locker room needs to believe in that quarterback. For sure, 187 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 8: the quarterback is one A. But then it's the locker 188 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 8: room believing the quarterback is the guy is one B. 189 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 8: Because we've seen in between star quarterbacks with the Cardinals 190 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 8: over the last twenty years, there have been moments in 191 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 8: time where the rest of the roster doesn't necessarily believe 192 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 8: in the starting quarterback. And that's when you put a ceiling, 193 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 8: shall we say, on expectations and what's realistic? 194 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 7: Well it look it can create splinters in that locker 195 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 7: room when it doesn't necessarily just have to be about 196 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 7: the quarterback. It can be a particular player maybe's playing 197 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 7: but not playing great or not really getting it done, 198 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 7: and yet he continues to play and he's continued to 199 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 7: keep being put out there. Players players see that you 200 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 7: can't you cannot lie to the locker room. They know, 201 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 7: they see everything. They see every film, every every play, 202 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 7: and that's dissected multiple times. You can't get anything past 203 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 7: the players. So you know, for the for the locker 204 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 7: room to never have lost faith in Kyler Murray, that's 205 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 7: that's one, and I don't think that's that's even a discussion. 206 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 7: Kyler is is clearly QB one and he's clearly the 207 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 7: leader of this team. But you know, you can't you 208 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 7: can't get a lot past the players. 209 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 6: We heard from Kyler talking about his connection with Jonathan Gannon. 210 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 6: Here's another player, Trey McBride on The green Light with 211 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 6: Chris Long podcast on why he believes JG is the guy. 212 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 10: I think just the leadership skills that he brought, what 213 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 10: he came to do, and what he's done for us. 214 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 10: You know, he's set the culture, he's building the culture. 215 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 10: He set the standard and he hasn't gone away from that. 216 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 10: He's been tremendous. He's a great leader and a guy 217 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 10: that everyone wants to play for. He brings guys with 218 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 10: him and gives us the plan and and you know, 219 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 10: gives us the blueprint to go be successful and then 220 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 10: we just got to go do it. He's been phenomenal 221 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 10: as a head coach, and I think he's the right 222 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 10: for the job. 223 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 6: And now you go into year two with Jonathan Gannon 224 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 6: and his coaching staff, no changes seems as we speak 225 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 6: here on Tuesday, everyone is coming back and one of 226 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 6: those coaches that is coming back, Paul. Get a chance 227 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 6: to speak with running backs coach Autrey Denson a week 228 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 6: ago on the Big Red Rage, and he talked about 229 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 6: something you'd mentioned earlier. Teams maybe didn't want to play 230 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 6: the Cardinals, especially as the games wore on in the 231 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 6: second half. 232 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 11: Here's coach Dnson, our guys really played hard. That's the 233 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 11: thing that you can hang your hat on is that, man, 234 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 11: people didn't want to play us. I mean it was 235 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 11: teams that and I've heard it all off season and 236 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 11: during the season, like, man, you guys played hard, and 237 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 11: so that is really kudos to Jag from the top 238 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 11: down set in that mindset. But the guys, man, are 239 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 11: really embracing it. And no matter what you talk about 240 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 11: the season, the record, it they played. We literally played 241 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 11: until the last play of the season, I mean fighting 242 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 11: and that's a testament. I mean, guys just really bought in. 243 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 6: And it's difficult, Paul, because what we were talking about 244 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 6: earlier when the wins aren't coming yet. Gannon preaches the 245 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 6: process more so than the results. Some point, you do 246 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 6: have to have those results, and the Cardinals did have 247 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 6: a handful, not enough, but that did not factor into 248 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 6: how this team played on the field for all four quarters. 249 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 8: You had two ninety nine yard drives this year. I 250 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 8: think that's a real illustration, real testimony to the Cardinal's 251 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 8: mental strength to go on out there. I think we 252 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 8: first really saw it in Week four at the forty 253 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 8: nine Ers. You're in Santa Cla. You're down twenty one 254 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 8: to three, and then you fight back to make it 255 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 8: twenty one sixteen in the third quarter, just when everyone thought, Okay, 256 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 8: look it's the forty nine ers, they're a Super Bowl favorite. 257 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 8: It's Week four, you're on the road. And the Cardinals 258 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 8: fought back in that game. And I vividly remember the 259 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 8: Fox sideline reporter going over and citing John Lynch the 260 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 8: Niners GM late third quarter, and he was down watching 261 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 8: and he was saying how impressed he was by the Cardinals' fight, 262 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 8: by the physicality. Obviously they weren't the more talented roster 263 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 8: at that point, but just their ability to compete in ball, 264 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 8: and then you saw that through the entirety of the year. 265 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 8: You saw that the rest of the season, and once again, 266 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 8: how many times after a game if you look at 267 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 8: the postgame comments from the other locker room, Fred Warner. 268 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 8: In the rematch against the forty nine Ers, Fred Warner, 269 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 8: the Cardinals lost to the Niners in that game as well, 270 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 8: but they ran for over two hundred yards against the 271 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 8: Niners defense, first time anyone had done that in more 272 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 8: than fifty games. Fred Warner was at a loss to 273 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 8: explain to the media. They kept asking how did the 274 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 8: Cardinals actually pile up two hundred rushing yards? And that 275 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 8: actually was a harbinger of things to come because the 276 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 8: night that was an issue for the Niners. Obviously in 277 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 8: the playoffs, despite the record, Cardinals were in more games 278 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 8: than most teams across the league. But again you're judged 279 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 8: by that one loss record and it's four and thirteen. 280 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 3: That has to improve. 281 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 6: By the way, as we head to a break here 282 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 6: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by seat Geek, 283 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 6: Your Ticket's Great Seats. Everyone survives Sunday without football, without NFL. 284 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 6: Now we've got nothing rob until August training camp, preseason 285 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 6: football late August. 286 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 7: You know my house is cleaner, dog poop was picked up. 287 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 7: You know a lot of things are happening around the 288 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 7: Frederickson household. Now it's true. 289 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 8: The seventeen year old punk pulled me into the garage 290 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 8: help replace his water pump. So you know, whether I 291 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 8: liked it or not, I was more productive. If you're right, 292 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 8: we can. 293 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 6: Thank the NFL season coming to a close for Paul's 294 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 6: exploits under the hood. We continue here. It's the Cardinals 295 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 6: Red Sea report on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network. 296 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: Where he takes turns and off Connor sprinting to his left, 297 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: find some room at the twentieth and fifteenth close to 298 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: the tent. Head into the episode for the touchdown James 299 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: Connor from twenty nine yards out. 300 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: That drive was all about James Connor. 301 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 5: When you hammer the box scoring to be a week 302 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 5: that was a huge leak from the Seattle Seahawks. 303 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: Box and off Connor off the right side across the 304 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: twenty five to thirty five forty He's got a thousand 305 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: at midfield and steps up there. First one thousand yard 306 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: season for James Connor. 307 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 6: Finished with a career high one thousand and forty rushing 308 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 6: yards for James Connor, just part of a rushing offense 309 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 6: that finished fourth in the league and number two in 310 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 6: rushing yards per play. As we say, welcome back, it 311 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 6: is the Cardinals Red Sea Report, presented by Sekiek Your 312 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 6: Ticket to Great Seats, Craig Realoup, Paul Calvc, and Rob Frederickson. 313 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 6: We are year round here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio 314 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 6: Network eleven am on Tuesdays, talking right now about the 315 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 6: running back position, a position at least to me, Paul 316 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 6: is pretty good going into this offseason, considering James Connor 317 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 6: is under contract, Michael Carter is under contract, Amaro Demer 318 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 6: just finished a very solid undrafted rookie season, and then 319 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 6: you bring back Tony Jones Junior on a futures deal. 320 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 6: It might be a player two that you add, but 321 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 6: it's not a really needed position, at least for my 322 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 6: vantage point. 323 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, if we went into training camp and this was 324 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 8: the current roster right that you carry into training camp, 325 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 8: I wouldn't be shocked. Now, it's not to say they 326 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 8: don't add a running back on Day three. You have 327 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 8: eleven draft picks. You're bringing someone to compete. Definitely a 328 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 8: free agent running back somewhere out there. But as it 329 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 8: stands right now, if you told me this was the 330 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 8: running back room for a week one next year, it's 331 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 8: maybe the one position group other than quarterback that I'd say, 332 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 8: you know what, Okay. 333 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 3: Let's go, let's ball. You are set. 334 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 8: You have those little magnets up on the board. If 335 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 8: you're mon yasin Ford in a little depth chart up there, 336 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 8: you know, maybe maybe not a lot of movement in 337 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 8: this room, especially especially if you get an entire season 338 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 8: under James Conner. He missed the four or five games 339 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 8: he had the injury. Otherwise it was just and maybe 340 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 8: one of my biggest takeaways is just James Connor on 341 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 8: the sideline. We talked about leadership in the last segment. 342 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 8: There was a moment this year during Jonathan Gannon's TV 343 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 8: show where I asked him the question, Polly Pencil, like 344 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 8: Genie Snier, how much does the team feed off the 345 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 8: mentality of James Connor? And his answer was, I feed 346 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 8: off James Connor. So that's how infectious and contagious it 347 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 8: is just the sort of player in the mindset he 348 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 8: brings and what he does for the entire team. 349 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 6: And it's how he runs. Talking about James Connor, the physicality, 350 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 6: not being afraid of contact, and I think that's the 351 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 6: mo for this Cardinals offense. Run first, be physical, and 352 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 6: let's grind it out with our offense taking those knees 353 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 6: victory formation at the end of games. 354 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 355 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, look at this Cardinals offense, that running game and 356 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 7: that running attack, especially with James Connor. That's I think 357 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 7: that's one of the most overlooked things from the past season. 358 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 7: It just gets glossed over. People don't really think about 359 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 7: it when they think of the Cardinals. But man said 360 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 7: fourth in the league and rushing James Connor. He's a 361 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 7: guy that that you see defenses they will they will 362 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 7: really convert and and bring down safeties and and really 363 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 7: get him into the box and squeeze that box. And 364 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 7: then you see James Connor he has the ability to 365 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 7: bounce it out. Really did a great job this past 366 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 7: season in terms of rushing ball, finding those holes, being patient. 367 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 7: I think the blocking blocking scheme has a lot to 368 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 7: do with it, and also the play calling. Gone are 369 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 7: are some of those horizontal runs that that we all 370 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 7: kind of just roll our eyes and scratch our heads 371 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 7: and can't stomach. You know, you're seeing more downhill, you're 372 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 7: seeing some pin and pull, You're seeing some offensive linemen 373 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 7: get out with with some bad intentions and and James 374 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 7: Connor following behind that. That's that's what That's what you 375 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 7: want to see. That's what gets the sidelines fired up. 376 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 7: That's what gets the defense guys over on sidelines excited. 377 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 7: And you know, so I think that's certainly what this 378 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 7: offense is going to be built around, is that running 379 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 7: game and that running attack, and then you know, you 380 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 7: combine that with playing solid defense. Now you got something 381 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 7: to build on. 382 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, to Rob's point, I mean this time a year ago, 383 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 8: if you would have said Cardinals finished fourth and rushing 384 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 8: yards per game, second in rushing yards per carry over 385 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 8: five yards of carry as a team, Number one in 386 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 8: explosive runs twenty yards or more, Number one, I didn't 387 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 8: see that coming. I knew there would be a renewed 388 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 8: emphasis on the run game. I didn't see that sort 389 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 8: of success coming. We had an idea it was going 390 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 8: to be physical in training camp when we coined the 391 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 8: term Kramitt vertical, because that's something Jonathan Gann had said 392 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 8: during the press conference during training camp. But three or 393 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 8: last four games, you rush for more than two hundred yards, 394 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 8: a couple of those on the road against playoff teams. 395 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 8: That was way beyond my expectations. 396 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 6: And it's a Cardinals running attack that finished with almost 397 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 6: twenty eight carries per game each and every week. That 398 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 6: was thirteenth best in the league. And of course it 399 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 6: helps to have James Connor as the leader in that 400 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 6: running back room. Running backs coach Autry Denson on James Connor. 401 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 11: He leads by example, but he knows when to be 402 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 11: a vocal and that goes back to James's mother. Man, 403 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 11: he is just like I said, we can't take any 404 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 11: credit for James Connor. That is you talk about the 405 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 11: whole thing nature versus nurture. He was naturally created like that. 406 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 11: God blessed him to be that type of leader. His 407 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 11: environment obviously nurtured him. But man, he is. I mean, 408 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 11: what he does for us is just unexplainable and we 409 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 11: can't quantify how valuable it is. 410 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 6: And don't forget about James Connor catching football, darn near. 411 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 6: The play of the year is the touchdown against the 412 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 6: Philadelphia Eagles, outstretching his arm to corral that football in 413 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 6: a one handed grab. And that kind of gets lost 414 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 6: and we kind of all learned a lesson Connor's first 415 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 6: year on how prolific he was catching the football out 416 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 6: of the backfield. 417 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a couple of things that you know, CALVISI 418 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 8: consulting the poly picks in division that we demand next year. 419 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 8: We want two screens per game to James Connor and 420 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 8: two screens per game to the tight end Trey McBride. 421 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 3: That's just a must. 422 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 8: We got to have those as a baseline part of 423 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 8: the play calling. Just get James Connor out there, the 424 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 8: pass catching ability, get some blockers in front of him, 425 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 8: and they're going to let him break arm tackles, and 426 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 8: then watch as dbs take mysterious angles to the ballcarrier 427 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 8: and he gets to the second level. 428 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 6: Yes, it's fun to watch James Connor. Was fun to 429 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 6: watch Michael Carter and Mario de Mericado and just fun 430 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 6: to watch this offense overall. Something you alluded to earlier, 431 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 6: Rob as far as the play calling, because how many 432 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 6: times in recent years when the run game wasn't going well, 433 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 6: you would abandon the run even if you were down 434 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 6: one or two scores. Cardinals this season robbed down a 435 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 6: couple of scores. We're still running the ball and the 436 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 6: third early in the fourth quarter because it might not 437 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 6: work earlier in the game. But you use those first 438 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 6: quarter runs to set up something in the third or 439 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 6: fourth quarter. 440 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 7: And I gotta tell you, you also give the defense a 441 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 7: little rest. And you know those defensive players, a former 442 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 7: defensive player, you get over to the sidelines, you get 443 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 7: a cup of water, and they're yelling for the punt team. Man, 444 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 7: come on, I just got over here. You know, run 445 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 7: some clock off a little bit, you know, give us 446 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 7: a break. So you know, anytime the offense can do that, 447 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 7: anytime you can really control the clock and and limit 448 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 7: which is another thing that really doesn't get talked about enough, 449 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 7: but limit the number of possessions that the other team gets. 450 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 7: That that's doing a lot. And and even if the 451 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 7: even if the drive isn't ultimately successful, at least you're 452 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 7: you're chewing up clock, you're you're limiting possessions, and you're 453 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 7: giving that defense some break. 454 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 8: Rob Why is it that the defense reacts with such 455 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 8: splendor to to their own team at a running back, 456 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 8: making either a dB look stupid or plowing through a defender, 457 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 8: blowing someone up. I mean, I can go back two 458 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 8: decades when Beanie Wells used to just destroy a guy, 459 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 8: when Edra and James used to do that. Now it's 460 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 8: James Connor. But it's amazing how fire up their defensive 461 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 8: guys get when they're watching up on the Jumbo Tron 462 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 8: and one of their own running backs blows up an 463 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 8: opposing defender. Why is that? Why did they react with 464 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 8: such with such splendor to that. 465 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 7: Well, I think I think running backs it's a kindred spirit, right. 466 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 7: I think a running back is a lot like a 467 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 7: defensive player in terms of mentality. So they you know, 468 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 7: they they they naturally are gravity gravitated towards running backs. 469 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 7: But two, I think they like to see our own 470 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 7: running back player. At defensive players, we like to see 471 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 7: our own running back make some other guys look foolish 472 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 7: because you know, we're out there and sometimes we get 473 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 7: put in that position. So as a defender, you like 474 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 7: to see your your running back have success and and 475 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 7: to sometimes either run over or juke a defender and 476 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 7: make them look a little silly. 477 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 8: Because that Philly game you mentioned, the one handed catch, right, 478 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 8: I mean, the whole sidelin just went banana is the 479 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 8: one handed catch by James Connor in the back of 480 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 8: the end zone. The other one was the Michael Carter 481 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 8: where he broke the ankles of the dB. We're in Philly. 482 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 8: That was like Alan Iverson esque with one of those crossovers. 483 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 8: That's what Michael Carter did that. 484 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 3: And guys just ate that up. 485 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 6: Speaking of Michael Carter, Autrey Dentson last week on The 486 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 6: Big Red Rage on what he thinks about Carter. 487 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 11: Michael Carter has a passion for playing the game, and 488 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 11: when you watch him, he's fun to watch because he's 489 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 11: having fun. And so one of the things I did 490 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 11: for the guys, I don't want to say this is 491 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 11: I got him a frame pitcher, each of them. Just 492 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 11: something to remember and my wife. The first thing that 493 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 11: jumps out on him is as he's running, he has 494 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 11: a smile so big on his face, and so it's 495 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 11: funny that that is Mike. He smiles and plays like 496 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 11: during the game. He is smiling as he is playing, 497 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 11: and that's just his passion for the game. 498 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 6: The voice of Autrey Dnson, Cardinals running backs coach I 499 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 6: guess last week on The Big Red Rage. Go to 500 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 6: the archives to hear the full interview because coach Dentson 501 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 6: is very good at what he does. In a great 502 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 6: conversation Paul You and Ron Woofully had with him last week, 503 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 6: and he's not lying. Carter always had a smile on 504 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 6: his face, especially since leaving the New York Jets. I 505 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 6: think he has found a home here in Arizona. Mentioned 506 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,239 Speaker 6: the day after the season that he was planning on 507 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 6: staying here throughout the entire offseason. He likes being here. 508 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 6: He was given opportunities here. Almost averaged seven yards a 509 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 6: carry in the six games that he played, and that 510 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 6: does give the Cardinals a nice one two punch kind 511 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 6: of that power versus the speed. Although if you talk 512 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 6: to both of them, they kind of talk. To Carter, 513 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 6: he says, hey, I can run like James Connor, just 514 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 6: not as big as James Connor. 515 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 8: And he had a great career at North Carolina, and 516 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 8: he was highly thought of with the Jets. But then 517 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 8: with the Jets and the dysfunction and he fell down 518 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 8: the depth chart, and then it was sort of a 519 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 8: mutual thing. He wanted playing time and opportunity elsewhere. And 520 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 8: I still remember he showed up in Arizona. He said, yeah, 521 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 8: my travel day yesterday.

And 587 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 7: it's it's not just on the field. You know, you 588 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 7: see that on on the television, you see them running 589 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 7: and doing the drills, but more of it is done 590 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 7: in the hotel lobby and and in the conference rooms 591 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 7: and in the meeting rooms with the coaches and the 592 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 7: general managers players. Uh, you know, going in there for 593 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 7: one on one and and discussing. Maybe maybe it's it's 594 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 7: breaking down, you know what, what offense or defense? Walk 595 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 7: me through a play, draw it up for me on 596 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 7: the grease board, talk me. Talk to me about the philosophies, 597 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 7: the offensive and defensive philosophies that they had in college. 598 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 4: You know. 599 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 7: So there's a lot that goes into it from the 600 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 7: mental aspect. But for me, uh, when I went to 601 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 7: the combine, the hardest thing I think was was the physical. 602 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 7: That it's an entire day of medical You're basically going 603 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 7: from team doctor to team doctor to team doctor, thirty 604 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 7: two of them, and and if if anything is questionable 605 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 7: in their minds, you're going to the hospital. You're going 606 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 7: or you're going to the imaging exam and and you're 607 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 7: going to get I mean, I I made the mistake 608 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 7: of being honest at the combine. With the physical, I 609 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 7: made the mistake of being honest. I'm the one guy 610 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 7: that said have you ever had They said, have you 611 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 7: ever had any neck issues? Well, well, I did get 612 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 7: a stinger. I was getting stingers my whole career, you know, 613 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 7: in college even, but I did say I did have 614 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 7: one stinger. Well, red flag, MRI, C, T FD, I C, I, 615 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 7: A de aver, every acronym you can think of. I 616 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 7: spent the entire day at an imaging lab. I think 617 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 7: I still got frequent flyer miles from the imaging lamp. 618 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 7: But I mean, you cannot. You know, somebody's got to 619 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 7: school these these kids. Somebody's got to get with them 620 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 7: and tell them, do not say anything, Do not say 621 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 7: anything negative about your health. 622 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 6: It's become information gathering and any little thing because you 623 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 6: can see it on tape. But now you're getting to 624 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 6: know the person behind what you see on tape, and 625 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 6: questions get asked, and now all of a sudden, it's 626 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 6: background research on every single prospect. By the way, three 627 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 6: hundred and twenty one prospects invited to this year's upcoming 628 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,959 Speaker 6: scouting combine in Indianapolis. 629 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 3: Well, there's the known and the unknown. 630 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 8: So the town evaluators they can see the film, they 631 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 8: can assess what sort of player you are. Between the 632 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 8: white lines. They have the measurables. Okay, is he equipped? 633 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 8: Does he have the skill set, but what's the mind 634 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 8: all about? What's the heart all about? Hear it said 635 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 8: a lot. You know, you miss more often on the person, 636 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 8: on the human than you do the player. So they're 637 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 8: trying to assess that. Obviously, it's highly subjective in today's world. 638 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 8: So many of these prospects are coached up. I mean, Rob, 639 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 8: where was your agent in this? You should have coached 640 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 8: you up. You should have had you know, you should 641 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 8: have a prepared answer to every single question. You know, 642 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 8: it should have been like, you know, across examination, you 643 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 8: should have been ready to go on the witness chair. 644 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 7: He's fired, you know, you know back then, back in 645 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 7: nineteen ninety three, well it was yeah, ninety four, uh 646 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 7: there there there, This was before the internet, Paul, if 647 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 7: you can imagine that, okay, ourselves here, Okay, So it 648 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 7: wasn't like you could just go to a link and 649 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 7: and look at all the drills that they ask you 650 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 7: to do at the combine. You had nobody really knew. 651 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 7: Nobody knew how to prepare for it back then. So 652 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 7: I was lucky enough to have, you know, have somebody 653 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 7: that that knew the drills, and and so we you know, 654 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 7: we'd practice them, and but back then it was you're 655 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 7: going into that really blind. So uh, but they got 656 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 7: it dialed in now. They have of fitness centers now 657 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 7: that are devoted specifically to combine type type exercises and drills, 658 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 7: and so the players are all well tuned in terms 659 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 7: of what is expected of them. 660 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 8: But you heard maniasin Ford at the end of that 661 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 8: clip site the meeting, the one on one, the fifteen 662 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 8: minute meeting the Cardinals decision makers had with Garrett Williams 663 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 8: at last year's Combine, and Garrett Williams mentioned that on 664 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 8: a big red rage we had him on this year. 665 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 3: So I followed up. 666 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 8: A few days ago Jonathan Gannon maniasin Fort met Cardinals 667 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 8: fans at an event and I asked Mani about that meeting, 668 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 8: what was it? And Jonathan Gannon actually chimed in as well. 669 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 8: It was at the end of a very long day 670 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 8: at the combine, so they had done like one hundred 671 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 8: interviews that day. They're dragon, they need something to eat, 672 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden, the very last interview 673 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 8: of the day at ten at night was Garrett Williams, 674 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 8: and he came in and he wowed them.

And 677 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 8: then all that he's really engaged was really intense. He 678 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 8: was really thoughtful, high IQ, knew the game, wanted to 679 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 8: know more from them. He was asking them questions. By 680 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 8: the end of the fifteen minutes, he left the room 681 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 8: and Jonathan Gannon and Maniasis Ward. According to what they 682 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 8: told the fans looked at you andach others head. We 683 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 8: got to try and get that guy because they already 684 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 8: knew about him as a player, and when they found 685 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 8: out about him as a person, it clinched the decision 686 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 8: that if he was available at the right spot in 687 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 8: the draft, boom, they were going to pull the trigger. 688 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 8: And that's exactly what they. 689 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 6: Did, and they did it with the seventy second overall 690 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 6: pick and the third round. The importance of the combine, 691 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 6: Let's take you back to last year's combine. GM Mani 692 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 6: Austin Ford on why the combine is so important. 693 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 14: The most important thing is the medical evaluations and having 694 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 14: our doctors and having our trainers getting a chance to 695 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 14: examine the players and just finding out where they are physically, 696 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 14: and really the second most important thing that I get 697 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 14: out of this is the face to FaceTime when we 698 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 14: interview with the players, both in the formal settings and 699 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 14: the informal meetings our coaches are doing. And then we'll 700 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 14: get into the workouts as well. Those are important, but 701 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 14: I'd put the medical in the interviews up above the 702 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 14: on field workouts. 703 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 6: By the way, speaking of the on field workouts, some 704 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 6: thirty years ago, Rob Frederickson at the nineteen ninety four 705 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 6: Combine ran a four six nine forty. 706 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 3: Four six three four six three. 707 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 7: We'll go with that. 708 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 3: So you're saying. 709 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 4: Someone, yeah, that's fine. 710 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 6: Slower on the stopwatch, It's fine, okay. 711 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's six three two forty two. I mean 712 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 8: he's moving thirty five inch vertical. By the way, these 713 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 8: are numbers that you could still like if we just 714 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 8: behind you at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals training Center 715 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 8: of the fields outside Rob, you'd run a four to 716 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 8: six and jump thirty five inches, right, you can still 717 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,479 Speaker 8: pull that off. 718 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 7: No, I couldn't jump over this piece of paper. 719 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 8: It's pretty good, though, thirty five inch vertical at your size. 720 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 8: So did you rip off some dunks in high school basketball? 721 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 5: I did. 722 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 7: I could dunk anywhere I wanted to. But you know, 723 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 7: the one thing about the combined and the physical aspect 724 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 7: of it, and the drill and these measurables, they're all great, 725 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 7: and you're right, Moni, Moni's right. You know, probably the 726 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 7: most important is the physical, the medical side, and then 727 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 7: the interview is getting to know the player, what he's 728 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 7: all about, what makes them tick. You know, you can 729 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 7: you can jump thirty five inches, but if you can't 730 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 7: make a tackle, what good are you? You know, So 731 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 7: really more than anything, more than more, even more than 732 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 7: the physical and more than the interview, it's really about 733 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 7: assessing the player. How does he play football? That's kind 734 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 7: of what we're all here for. It's football, and so 735 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 7: that to me is the most important. That's that means 736 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 7: going through every every piece of film you've had for 737 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 7: him for however many years he's been in college, making 738 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 7: visits to practice during the season, your area scouts, maybe 739 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 7: maybe your GM, I know GM probably wouldn't be able 740 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 7: to get to schools, but certainly your area scouts getting 741 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,240 Speaker 7: in there and watching these guys and how they interact 742 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 7: and how they play and how they practice. 743 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, some of these drills, I mean offensive lineman I 744 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 6: don't care how fast they run. The forty quarterbacks running 745 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 6: at forty and remember you're doing all these drills without 746 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 6: pads on. 747 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 4: Yeah. 748 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 8: Yeah, it still comes down to can you play? Look 749 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 8: at Pooka Nakua, fifth round pick this past year. Can 750 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 8: you play? Was he great in the combine? 751 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 3: No? 752 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 8: But he certainly had enough size, had enough physicality. He 753 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 8: certainly made a lot of DB's look stupid. 754 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:24,959 Speaker 3: I'm on Ross. 755 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 8: Saint Brown got named to the All Pro Team this year. 756 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 8: Fourth round pick a few years ago said he can 757 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 8: name all sixteen receivers drafted ahead of them. Do you 758 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 8: looking for guys who can play ultimately? 759 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 6: And do they have the passion for the game to 760 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 6: match that talent? Scout in combine one week from today, 761 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 6: the drafts in April, but in between you got free agency. 762 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 6: We'll touch on that as we continue. It's the Cardinals 763 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 6: Red Sea Report on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network. 764 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 3: You look the punt high in the air, far side. 765 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 2: It bounces at the five and the Cardinals down at 766 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 2: at the three. Great punt. Gillickin put it on an island. 767 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 2: Where's the skipper, Ginger, Mary Anne? 768 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, Gilligan what a perfect punt man. Once again, 769 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 5: you give me a punter, baby, you give me a 770 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 5: punter or a defense, and I'll be in every game. 771 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 6: The Cardinals did have a very good punter, and Blake 772 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 6: Gillikin not gill again dating ourselves. They patron woefully on 773 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 6: that play call. But hey, a solid, solid comedy back 774 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 6: in the day. 775 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 8: What's ironical is that I got in this morning and 776 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 8: on Twitter Gilligan's Island was trending. I still have no 777 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 8: idea why there's one saying I guess that's popular on 778 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 8: Gilligan's Island. They listened to the professor, not the millionaire, 779 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 8: meaning the eye Q. You know they so, you know what, 780 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 8: it's better to be smart than necessarily loaded, especially in times. 781 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 3: Of duress when you need followers. 782 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 5: Right. 783 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 8: So, but yeah, I have no idea why it's tring, 784 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 8: no clue. 785 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 7: How long do you think Dave pash took to come 786 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 7: up with that. 787 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 4: He was waiting. 788 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 3: He was just waiting to say that that's true. 789 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, he probably had that written down on his spotting board. 790 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 8: You know, he probably cheated. He had a little tell 791 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:22,959 Speaker 8: prompter going. 792 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 6: Gillikin set a franchise record averaging fifty point six yards 793 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 6: per punt, which was third in the league. And why 794 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 6: are we talking about the punter, Well, besides the fact 795 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 6: that it's Paul's favorite position. 796 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 8: To discuss in the offseas, No, it's Wolf and John Bloom. 797 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 3: Go ahead. 798 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 6: Gillikin is an unrestricted free agent. In fact, he's won 799 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 6: a seventeen the Cardinals have, whether that's defense, offense, or 800 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 6: special teams. Aaron Brewer also an unrestricted free agent. Now, 801 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 6: the Cardinals can sign any one of their own unrestricted 802 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 6: free agents before the new league begins. 803 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 3: On March thirteenth. That that happened, who knows. 804 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 6: But there are a handful of players rob that I 805 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 6: think the Cardinals would like back, probably more rotation pieces, 806 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 6: especially along the defensive front. And then the biggest name 807 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 6: that's unrestricted to be is Hollywood Brown. I'm not sure 808 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 6: his future with the Cardinals or elsewhere, but he did 809 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,439 Speaker 6: not have a great season statistically. Though you talk to him, 810 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 6: which we did towards the end of the season, he's 811 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 6: pleased with what he put on tape. That connection between 812 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 6: quarterback just sometimes wasn't always there, whether it was first 813 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 6: with Josh Dobbs and then later with Kyler Murray. Those 814 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 6: quarterback and receiver just never could quite get on the 815 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 6: same page often enough for Hollywood Brown this year. 816 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, looking at looking at the Arizona Cardinals unrestricted free agents, 817 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,760 Speaker 7: you know there's there's some names on here. Obviously, Hollywood 818 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 7: Brown jumps out at you. That's that's that's the big name. 819 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 7: He talked about Blake gillickin you you know, that's that's 820 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 7: a punter that's important. And Wolf mentioned it. You know, 821 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 7: you punter in a defense that can bail out your 822 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 7: team him a lot if you if you really can 823 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 7: flip the field and change the positioning of the of 824 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 7: the game. So punter is important. But looking at this list, 825 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 7: and this is no indictment on these players, but you know, 826 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 7: kind of maybe subout Hollywood Brown. This is this is 827 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 7: a list of of depth guys for the most part, 828 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 7: and and they're important. They're the backbone of the team. 829 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 7: You know. I look at guys like like Ezekiel Turner. 830 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 7: I want that guy back bad, you know. I love 831 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 7: guys like that on special teams. And he can he 832 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 7: can play some good linebacker too when when needed. So 833 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 7: there there, there there are some guys in here that 834 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 7: that have played significant you know, Elijah Wilkinson starter, you know. 835 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 7: But but by and large, these are these are depth 836 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 7: guys and guys that, yeah, you want, you want to 837 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 7: sign them back. But I think that that looking at 838 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 7: this these are guys that you're gonna allow to to 839 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,399 Speaker 7: go step out and and to go have a look 840 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 7: around and and to see what's out there in terms 841 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 7: of you know, what the market is, and allow them 842 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 7: to go do that, and you know, if they come 843 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 7: back and you're able to get to an agreement find 844 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 7: But I don't think the Cardinals are in a position 845 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 7: or a desire to reach on some guys at this point. 846 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 7: I really think they're going to allow these guys to 847 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 7: go out and explore free agency and see what the 848 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 7: market is, and the Cardinals are gonna keep things kind 849 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 7: of close to the vest. 850 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 8: You know, there's two guys that didn't make it out 851 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 8: of September, but they really flashed earlier in the year. 852 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,240 Speaker 3: That's LJ. Collier and Carlos Watkins. 853 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 8: And that's probably your biggest position group of need you 854 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 8: need numbers, you need depth. I'd love to see those 855 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 8: two guys back in a similar situation another one year 856 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 8: prove a deal. Let's see what they have in camp, 857 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 8: see what they look like in August. Bring those guys in. 858 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 8: Antonio Hamilton at the end of the year was your 859 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,439 Speaker 8: best corner. Now in an ideal situation, he's your third 860 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 8: or fourth corner corner. He's your nickel or dime guy. 861 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 8: But he's so versatile, he has good size, great leader, 862 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 8: I mean as the perfect mentality, always competing, and so 863 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 8: I'd love to see Antonio Hamilton back in some capacity. 864 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 8: And then you also have, you know, Aaron Brewer, the 865 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 8: fact that you never said his name once all year, 866 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 8: and that's the biggest compliment you can pay a long snapper. 867 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 8: So I don't know what his future is exactly. All 868 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 8: I know is he's beyond steady. And the one year 869 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 8: twenty seventeen when the Cardinals went from a veteran to 870 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 8: a rookie long snapper, that was an adventure and they 871 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 8: had to go back to a veteran midseason. 872 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 4: A couple other. 873 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 6: Names, Chris Barnes, Josh Woods, two inside linebackers. I was 874 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 6: a position that there was some emphasis put on in 875 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 6: the offseason, along with Kaizier White and then Jeff Swain 876 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 6: in that tight end room. 877 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 3: A veteran. 878 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 6: I don't think you're looking for a pass catcher, but 879 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 6: someone who can block it and provide some veteran leadership 880 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 6: with a Trey McBride and everyone else in that room. 881 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 8: Yeah, the young guys called him coach Swain. Okay, thirty 882 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 8: year old in there, been there, done that, and in 883 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 8: this offense where the tight end, multiple tight end sets 884 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 8: and you're expected to block, he's still that guy. He 885 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 8: can still more than hold his own at the point 886 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 8: and even at times we saw him as the third 887 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 8: or fourth receiving option, and he has sure enough hands 888 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,240 Speaker 8: to keep a defense on us. So you need numbers 889 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 8: at tight end, and if Swaym is back, I think 890 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 8: that's definitely a plus for that room. 891 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 6: The front seven, though, for me, Rob is where I 892 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 6: do think dollars need to be spent, and it's a 893 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,280 Speaker 6: conversation we can have multiple times this offseason. But getting 894 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 6: to the quarterback, this Cardinals team did not have success 895 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 6: late in the year, whether that's on the defensive line 896 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 6: or an edge rusher, that's where this defense really needs 897 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 6: an upgrade. 898 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, and if you kind of follow the old Philadelphia 899 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 7: Eagles model from Jonathan Gannon where he came from is 900 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 7: That's where they built the team from the inside out. 901 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 7: So defensive line, interior, defensive line, edge rushers creating pressure 902 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 7: on the quarterback. That to me is really where this 903 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 7: defense will look to. 904 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 3: First games are over. 905 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,399 Speaker 6: Now it's about the roster and constructing a roster for 906 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 6: twenty twenty four special Thanks everyone behind the scenes. Jim Onmehundro, 907 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 6: Cody Fincher, Alan Narini for Rob Frederickson, Paul Calvic. I'm 908 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 6: Craig Raylou.
