00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Here's Craig Griolu, Mike Jarecki and thirteen year NFL veteran

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton. Well to see what happened on Monday night

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: football was a surprise, would be in understatements, forget the

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: outcome from a moment, the performance, the lack of execution,

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: to me, totally unexpected. Good morning, gentlemen, too strong, Drew, Well, right, yeah,

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: about right? I mean yesterday, No, it's not too soon.

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: We gotta I mean, let's hash it out. I asked

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: you yesterday how your feelings were in Yeah, different had.

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I had no feeling going into that ball game very weird.

20
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: I unfortunately had a feeling that the way things transpired

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: just because of what we had the last month of

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: the season. I mean, we talked about everything, and in

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: some ways, it seems like this team was just trying

24
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: to almost sublimally tell themselves they could go out and

25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: be successful. Hey, we did this on the road, we

26
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: can do all these things. The last time these two

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: teams met, the exact same thing of the script yesterday

28
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: transpired of being able to run the football, the offense

29
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: not being able to find a rhythm and get into

30
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: a rhythm, and at one point I think they were

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: over six or for eight on third down. I mean,

32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: all of these things that you talk about that are

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: keys to success of winning a football game just didn't

34
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: go in their favor. And you know, and now there's

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: a lot of questions that need to be answered. You

36
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: talk about resetting from the regular season to the postseason,

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: losing four or five, and okay, that's behind us. And

38
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: I've maintained all along, MJ. It doesn't matter. It might

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: not matter how you get into the postseason, but it

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: does matter how you're playing going into the postseason. To

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Drew's points, what we saw maybe should not have been

42
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: unexpected based off the previous several weeks. I can I

43
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: think that's fair, But the fact is they were getting

44
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: some of their players back. Clearly Connor was one hundred percent.

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: But I give them a lot of credit for gutting

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: it out. Oh my gosh. Yes, yes, and you know

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: the secondary has been up and down. But I was disappointed.

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: You know, it was embarrassing. Actually, I mean it's it's

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: it's we're having a different conversation if you lose thirty

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: one twenty seven and it comes down to the fourth quarter.

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: They weren't even competitive. They got beat at the line

52
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And we talked about it all this week.

53
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. There's not a single quarterback that played this

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: weekend that had more pressure on him, and he played

55
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: well and he got that monkey off his back. So

56
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: you tipped their hat. I mean, I going into the season,

57
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: I liked the Cardinals roster, and you know, you're only

58
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: as good as your backups, and clearly they missed certain guys,

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: but everyone's dealing with injuries at this point in the year.

60
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: That's playing in the postseason thirty four to eleven. Cardinals

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: lose on Monday and Night Football, they fall to the

62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams Super wild Card weekend ends with a thud.

63
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. I'd say, just how we

64
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: came out against a good team like that. It's hard

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: to recover when you put yourself on that type of

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: a hole, and felt like we were on our heels

67
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: most of that first half, and they did a good

68
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: job attacking, had a good plan and got up on us,

69
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: and then it was it was tough sledding from there.

70
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Seven nothing at the end of the first quarter, twenty

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: one nothing at halftime, twenty eight nothing. Four and a

72
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: half minutes into the third quarter of the Cardinals do

73
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: get one touchdown James Conner a two yard score, but

74
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: other than that's just not much from an offensive standpoint,

75
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: and defensively unable to slow down Matthew Stafford and company.

76
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: So now you look this season seven and zero, ten

77
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: and two, but one in five down the stretch. Success

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: or failure. Here's JJ Watt post game. It was a

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: massive failure. I mean from what we were capable of

80
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: doing and from what we show what we can do

81
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: to to today, there's no other way to describe it

82
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: than as a failure. There are a lot of fans

83
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: through that share that same sentiment because it's what have

84
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: you done for me lately? And the most recent performance

85
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: is what happened not even twenty four hours ago. So

86
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: how do you compartmentalize what we saw versus what we

87
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: know this team was capable of doing for the first

88
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: two and a half months of the season. Yeah, I

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: mean what we're capable of doing and what it manifests

90
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: itself in the postseason or two different things. And when

91
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: you're riding so high and the team was doing so

92
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: well and all of these things looked like they were

93
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: unbeatable and every bounce went in our favor, like we

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: were talking about the playoffs so early on. But if

95
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: we start seeing these glaring weaknesses and we're just outsiders

96
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: looking at you can bet your bottom dollar that offensive coordinators,

97
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators, head coaches are going to attack those weaknesses.

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: And if you don't adapt, if you don't you know,

99
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: adjust and make it corrections of what's going on. And

100
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: if you think back about each week we were talking

101
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: about different quotes and you hear about this team of

102
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, oh, we've got to really tighten down. We've

103
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: got to just you know, get in on these details.

104
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Those are huge problems that need to be addressed in

105
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the offseason because those shots showing up on the field

106
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: and when it started bleeding, they were hemorrhaging and it

107
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: wasn't like they could just stop the bleeding. And there

108
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: was never a game. If we think back, in my mind,

109
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: it least that they were able to overcome adversity and

110
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: they either jumped on good teams early and got everything

111
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: in their favor and just rode that way to a victory.

112
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: But it was never a back and forth and they

113
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: were able to persevere. And that's some questions that need

114
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: to be answered and why that is. And we talk

115
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: two years in a row, unfortunately of them not finishing well.

116
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: I think of a lot of it's probably because they're

117
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: playing good talent, but also their identity has to be

118
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: able to consistently overcome and adapt to what's being presented

119
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: to them, because these defenses had them figured out the

120
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: past two years. And you know, that's something that for

121
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: whatever reason, whether it's Cliff calling plays and needs to

122
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: maybe hand play calling duties over and let him focus

123
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: on being a head coach or whatever the recipe is.

124
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: It hasn't worked. But I'm also not sitting here signing

125
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: off the alarm saying fire Cliff or fire Vans or

126
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: Kyler's not the franchise quarterback. We thought every season, every

127
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: game presents something differently. It's just the team that can

128
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: be most resilient and adapt to that and to your point,

129
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 1: be playing the best football in December, that's the team

130
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: that's going to be able to continue on and march along.

131
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: And this team wasn't capable of doing it. How difficult

132
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: is it for a play caller when you go four

133
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: consecutive three and ounce and then you're over nine on

134
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: third down and the average game on third down was

135
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: eleven point seven yards. I mean, you can game plan

136
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: all week, but when you when the bullets are flying

137
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: and you're in that fire, how difficult it is to

138
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: get that rhythm going and getting in a sync on offense.

139
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: It's impossible. I mean when you look at what they

140
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: were trying to do, they never looked comfortable, They never

141
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: felt like they had their footing underneath them. And it

142
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: started from the very onset of the game, which is

143
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's difficult, and you can feel that. You

144
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: can sense that offensively, you can sense that defensively, right

145
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: of like, okay, we need to try and do stuff.

146
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, not being able to set up the line

147
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and be able to establish the run game

148
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: all these things that we talked about and and getting

149
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: all these guys back was great on paper, but it

150
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: didn't translate to the field of having it be what

151
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: we need it to be and playoff football. It's a

152
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: whole different mindset. It's a whole different season. And like

153
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: I said, these are not teams that you're going to

154
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: be able to come back on, like the Houston Texans

155
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The margin of air is so small,

156
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: and once that separation starts going more and more and

157
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: more and more. That defense of the Los Angeles Rams,

158
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: they smelled blood in the water and they went after

159
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: it and there was all of a sudden we looked

160
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: up and it's twenty one nothing at halftime, and there

161
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: it felt like the game was over at that point.

162
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean, truly, that's only three scores, but to your point,

163
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: it felt much worse. Thirty five nothing, forty two nothing.

164
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: Even though you're only trailing twenty one nothing at the half,

165
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: something Kyle Murray putting it pointed out post game as

166
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: far as what the game looked like and felt like,

167
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: prepare a week off season, you know, to be where

168
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: we are, and then they gatt went competitive at all.

169
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: So so you know, it's disappointing. Um no, we didn't,

170
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 1: you know, didn't make it a game, you know, and

171
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: and come out and play the football we know what

172
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: capable of playing. That's really the most disappointing part. You know,

173
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: losing is one thing, but when you don't, you know,

174
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: you don't even make it competitive, it's another thing. So

175
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: that's disappointing. Everyone knew what was at stake. Everyone understood

176
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: that there would be no tomorrow if you didn't take

177
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: care of business on the football field. There is a

178
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: segment that believes playoff experience matters. It certainly looked like

179
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: it didnt matter Monday night. Not so much though for

180
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals and their young quarterback on Saturday. So

181
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: how do you balance those two conversations as far as

182
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: you have to get there in order to experience versus Well,

183
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: we'll just keep doing what we're doing and we'll figure

184
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: it out well. I think you look at the makeup

185
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: of that Cincinnati Bengals team and all the pieces they

186
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: had in place. They beat a really good Kansas City

187
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs team. They had been toe to toe with a

188
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: lot of people, They'd been in dog fights, they lost

189
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: close games, they'd won close games. There's a lot to

190
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: be said for that, and unfortunately, you know, they survived

191
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: and they played I mean the Oakland Raiders or the

192
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Las Vegas Raiders. It still sounds awkward to

193
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: say as not as good an opponent as the Los

194
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. We know that based off a seat and

195
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: off the of everything else, you can't compare those two things.

196
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: You can look at all these things. I think this

197
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: team has a lot of positives going in the right direction,

198
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: but they need to take an honest assessment us where

199
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: did we lose grip of what was going on? Where

200
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: do we lose control of this season? Where it spot

201
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: out of control beyond the point of repair, Because this

202
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: last month of the season, besides that Dallas game, has

203
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: not felt great, and as we saw, Dallas was pretty

204
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: human in that playoff game as well. I thought that

205
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Dallas game, the Cardinals performance at at and T Stadium

206
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: was a sign of things to come, and apparently it

207
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: was not MJ because it was just more of the same.

208
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: That was an anomaly down the stretch. Well, we talked

209
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: about it. You know, when you're seven and zero and

210
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: ten and two, you just don't want to be limping

211
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and you beat the Cowboys and you'd

212
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: like to see them beat the Seahawks, and the Seahawks

213
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: were just playing for pride in respect, and you know

214
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are playing for contracts in the future.

215
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: But they did limp into the playoffs, and I think

216
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: that was a result of what transpired on Monday night

217
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: football again. Final score thirty four to eleven. Here's Christian

218
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Kirk post game at SOFI Stadium. It's kind of hard

219
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: to put it into words. The immediate responses, you know, embarrassing,

220
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: especially in the first half, the way we came out,

221
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, playing a good team, you know, like the Rams,

222
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: and coming out the way that we did, You're just

223
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win playoff games. Embarrassing is also a

224
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: word JJ Watt used and addressing the media after last

225
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: night's performance. Will get more into the offense and their struggles.

226
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: In our next segment, do have some good news to

227
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: pass along here. Buddha Baker just posted an IG video

228
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: from his hospital bed still in Los Angeles. Everything is

229
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: good quote, everything came out clean. I'm going to make

230
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: a full recovery. So that was a scary hit lates

231
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: in that game. But the good news, Drew is Buddha Baker,

232
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: We'll be back and back asp. Yeah. I mean, that's

233
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: the thing is this is a game, this is a

234
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: sport that we sign up to play. But the human

235
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: element when you see somebody lying on the turf sets

236
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: in and that's that's the reality of it is. These

237
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: guys are putting their bodies on the line, and Buddhists

238
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: done that as much as anybody. And you know, Cam

239
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Akers was out there and he had some juice last

240
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: night for them. He brought a lot of energy. He

241
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: was exactly what that team needed and just unfortunately that

242
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: that's some of the risk factor of playing this game.

243
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: But to hear the Buddhist great and doing well is

244
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: what everybody wants to hear, and football becomes secondary and

245
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: moments like that, well, so now it looked like maybe

246
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: just based on their size and obviously the collision, but

247
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: it looked like they were trying to hit each other

248
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: with the shoulder, but the helmet got involved. Would you

249
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: agree with that? I would. I mean, Buddhist is so

250
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: good at taking people's legs out, and cam Akers was

251
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: the low man. The low man wins and he got

252
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: down there and he's low to the ground anyways, shifty

253
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: and yeah, there was no maliciousness than any of that.

254
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: It was just Buddha We've seen time and time again

255
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: get around the legs and not let them go anywhere else.

263
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: rehashing what we saw on Monday night football Super Wild

264
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: Card weekend. Cardinals could not get anything going on offense

265
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Rams. We'll discuss that next here

266
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network John gun stat Murray

267
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: from his end, so looking us hit trump Ballkins hit

268
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: gost them all forward and it's picked off and it's

269
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He wun your hand through the pall. David

270
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: Long picked it off. Walks. As for touchdown, what a disaster,

271
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: My goodness. You can't make that mistake if you're Kyler Murray.

272
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: The safety still better than the touchdown. Wow, third and seven,

273
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: and I know exactly what Kyler Murray was trying to do.

274
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: He panicked, however, and it was picked off David Long

275
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: three yards the other way and was seven fifty nine

276
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: to go in the first half. The Cardinals trail twenty

277
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: one to nothing. And as we've already discussed here on

278
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red Sea Report, that felt like the game

279
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: was already over with an entire half still to be played.

280
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: Greig Rayelu, Drew Stanton, and Mike Drecky. Here is we

281
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: kind of focus in on what the offense was unable

282
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: to do. First, Kyle the Murray his numbers drew nineteen

283
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: of thirty four for one hundred and thirty seven yards,

284
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: two sacks, two interceptions, could not protect the football two

285
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: options on back to back drives. The second of which

286
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: the offense was actually moving. May it actually gained three

287
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: straight first downs and then the screen off, the hands

288
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: at James Conner, end of the arms of Marquis Copeland,

289
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: and the rams again off and running. What did you

290
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: see out of Kyle the Murray and his first playoff experience. Yeah,

291
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: it just didn't look comfortable. And I don't know if

292
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: it was a carryover from last game, you know, because

293
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: of those things, and there's a lot at stake, and

294
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: that's a whole different atmosphere you're there as opposed to

295
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Week four. But I still think there's positives that you

296
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: can draw from it. Now, granted they were negative for whatever,

297
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: totally yardage and you're backed up and you're doing all

298
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: these things. But I'm such a big proponent of every

299
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: situation you're in can be a learning experience if you

300
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: turn it into that. Right, you go back and you

301
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: watch this game, as hard as it is, and you

302
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: want to sit there and take an honest assessment of

303
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: where did things go wrong? You know, obviously you'd love

304
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: to be able to establish a lot of scrimmage with

305
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: the running game. If you can't, then you have to

306
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: deviate from the plan because that's what you ultimately want

307
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: to do, whether it's a quick passing game, whether it's screens,

308
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: getting the ball out through preparation. In the course of

309
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: the week, he should have had a pretty good feel

310
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: of how they're going to attack him. I would think,

311
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean being able to be in the quarterback room

312
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: before and talking through with an offensive coordinator. And sometimes

313
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: it's just the matter of knowing, Okay, as an offensive

314
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: play caller, I know my quarterback's uncomfortable. What can I

315
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: do to get him settled back in? Is it getting

316
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: a screen up early, is it trying to just get

317
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: the ball in the perimeter? Is it just getting the

318
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: ball see it completed, running game? All of these things

319
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: quick throws. What's his favorite past concept that he knows

320
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: he sees clearly be on the shadow of a doubt.

321
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: He can just throw this and just see something positive.

322
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: But when you're backed up and I don't you know,

323
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: Matthew did a very similar thing earlier in the year

324
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: where he was backed up in the end zone and

325
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: when you're it's chaos back there, and you get hit

326
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: and you try to do it and you're just throwing

327
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: it for dear life, and everybody can point back to

328
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: the other game that Kyler didn't do it he got

329
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: called for grounding in the end zone. Is the results

330
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: is sometimes what we harp on as fans as opposed

331
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: to the why behind everything that happened, and he was

332
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: doing the things correctly. It's just wrong place, wrong time,

333
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: and it was the snowball effect that felt like it

334
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: was already you know, losing grips on what was going on,

335
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: and that was just probably too much to overcome at

336
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: that point. Now you mentioned the intentional ground there was

337
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: against the Colts, and he got a safety on that play, right,

338
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: But why don't you just take the safety there is

339
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: because he's trying to make a play. Yeah, I mean

340
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: I think that. Okay, So he takes the safety there

341
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: and it's sixteen nothing and you're punting. Do you feel

342
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: better about that? I mean, we all can sit here

343
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: and say that, or we can sit in second guess

344
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: and be like, well, why didn't Cliff Field, you know, like,

345
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: why did he wait so long to kick the field

346
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: goal because we got the outside kick. We don't know

347
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: what any of this is going to happen. Again, when

348
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: you start coaching and playing off of the results, it

349
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: becomes a dangerous game. Could he have taken the safety there?

350
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: Shut why the guy pushed him in the back and

351
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: he still had a chance to be up. I mean,

352
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm shocked at that at that point and everything, and

353
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: Kyler's doing everything in his power, and you know, that's

354
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: just such a tough split second decision you've got to

355
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: try and make, and he felt like he could have

356
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: done it. So again, that's one that is just unfortunate

357
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: timing in a really important game. Eleven points, one hundred

358
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: and eighty three yards of total offense, a season low

359
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray as the quarterback. There was a one

360
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine yard offensive performance against the Carolina

361
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: Panthers with Colte McCoy as a quarterback earlier in the season. Overall,

362
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: just not good on offense. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury.

363
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: I just thought offensively, we were just out of sync

364
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: the entire time. And that's all of us to play calling,

365
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: the protection is the running game. I mean, it just

366
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: wasn't what we know we can be and that's disappointing.

367
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Four possessions to begin the game without a first down,

368
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: four straight three and outs, twelve plays minus four yards,

369
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: could never get the ground game going in the first

370
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: half or even in the second half. Overall, just sixty

371
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: one yards on the ground. Kyler Murray on the team's

372
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: ability to run the football. I think he got out

373
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: of hand early, you know. I think it's one of

374
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: those things where you gotta be able to run the ball.

375
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: I guess those guys you get into a drop bad

376
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: game and they got you know, three of the best

377
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: rushing the passer along with you know, good players in

378
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: the back end. You know, it's tough or a good team,

379
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: good defense. And we did next Q game playing according

380
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: to next Gen Stats true analytics here, he was holding

381
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: the ball about three one to three three in the

382
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: first half and then it went down the two one

383
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: in the second half. Did you see him holding the ball?

384
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: Is that where guys aren't getting separation or he's feeling

385
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: he was rattled? Yeah? No, And you said he wasn't comfortable. Yeah,

386
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: from the onset. Now there's a difference, Teller, our listeners

387
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: out there feeling the rush versus looking at the rush. Yeah,

388
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: there is. I mean those are drills you work on. Again.

389
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 1: I think part of that is just trust in your

390
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: eyes as a quarterback. You've got to be able to

391
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: trust your protection and trust what's going on. If you

392
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: feel any internal pressure, especially all of a sudden, your

393
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: eyes drop it because that's your line of sight if

394
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: you're looking through and every quarterback post that is supposed

395
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: to the safeties right, and a lot of the passing

396
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 1: game stuff, you've got to see safety rotation wherever they

397
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: go as a telltale sign of what's coming on. And

398
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, you start with the defensive front because

399
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: that's a big indicator of where the space and what

400
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: the linebackers will be. And then you always end with

401
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: the secondary of seeing the shell of the defense. So

402
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: post snap, if the first thing you'll do is your

403
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: eyes drop and you look back at that D line,

404
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: you've lost sight of everything else around you, and that

405
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: becomes a dangerous game and you start retreating. You start

406
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: doing all of these things, and Aaron Donald talked about it,

407
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: You start escaping the pocket and you go latterly, I

408
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: don't care who you are at this position. There's better

409
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: athletes around you that are anticipating that coming downhill at

410
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: you and forcing you into some bad situations. And quite frankly,

411
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: Kyler was lucky on a couple of plays to not

412
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: have more interceptions to start the game. So you know,

413
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate because you would have liked to see him

414
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: had his best game, and Cliff was confident about it.

415
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: They wanted to do all these things, and Kyler seemed

416
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: very confident going into the game. He's such a field player,

417
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: and if he feels comfortable like he did in that

418
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: Dallas game, he can go out and he can put

419
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: the ball in tight windows, he can throw with touch.

420
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: He could do everything you need a quarterback to do.

421
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: But there was never the sense that he was ever

422
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: getting comfortable. And when you're to go three or four

423
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: straight three and outs, all of a sudden you look

424
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: up at the scoreboard and you know, you start to

425
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: get a little antsy. You start to start pressing, and

426
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: you start to play outside of the game. Even if

427
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: you have this false sense of comfort because the forty

428
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: nine ers were able to come back, that's a different team,

429
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: that's a different identity, how they operate is vastly different

430
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: than this Cardinals team, and it just became too much

431
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: to bear. Are you surprised Kyler didn't attempt to run

432
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: the ball himself to try to get him more comfortable

433
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: or at least give the defense a different look when

434
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: nothing else was working. No, because I just think that

435
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: I can't speak for him. I don't know what makes

436
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: him comfortable. That's something only him and Cliffs should be

437
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: able to answer, or or Colt for that matter, right

438
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: Like I could tell you right now, while all the

439
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that started that I played with, what concepts they

440
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: felt comfortable with, who we needed to get the ball to,

441
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: who they had like, all of those things matter, and

442
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: that's what the first portion of the regular season is

443
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: all about, is figuring those things out. Okay, he's out

444
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: of sync. What can I do as a supporter of

445
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: him to make him as good as he can be?

446
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: And I think that all of those things really truly

447
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: matter behind the scenes, and that's what all of it

448
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: is setting up and trying to be able to do that.

449
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: But I don't think running necessarily makes anything better, because

450
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: then your mindset becomes a runner and you're down so

451
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: many points that that get the ball in your playmaker's hands,

452
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: and there's opportunities to do it. I mean, you'd love

453
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: to see them try and establish the run more, but

454
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: again it's not working. Where do you go from there

455
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: and again maybe Coogs had a handful of runs and said, hey,

456
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: let's get this up. Let's get this up. I would

457
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: love to be able to just run at Aaron Donald,

458
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: as we all talked about. Sometimes that's the easiest way

459
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: to negate him is just go right at him and

460
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: have him eat a double team. Yeah, when you look

461
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: at it from you know, Kyler standpoint, we notice the

462
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: entire season that Cliff full college design run in the

463
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: first quarter to still let the other team know he

464
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: has the capability of running. So we've seen that all season,

465
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: lease in the first quarter, but we didn't see it

466
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: as much into the final three quarters. He only ran

467
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: the ball. Talking about Kyler Murray twice for six yards

468
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: in that game. Overall, again eighteen rushing attempts for sixty

469
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: one yards by the Arizona Cardinals. Here's Christian Kirk after

470
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: the ball game. That's not the way we prepared. That's

471
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: not the energy that we had all week during practice,

472
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: coming out, you know, even leading up pregame, I felt

473
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: it was all there. And you know, we got out

474
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: there and you just you know, repeated league kept just

475
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: not executing, and you know, we got behind quick and

476
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: just couldn't build back fast enough. Kirk the team's leading

477
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: receiver six catches fifty one yard. Zach Ertz was a

478
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: non factor. AJ Green Antoine Wesley didn't even have a catch.

479
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: Between those two. That's five targets right there. AJ Green

480
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: Drew We've been waiting for him ever since DeAndre Hopkins

481
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: went out. There were a couple of times where you'd

482
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: see him flash, but never consistently to be that elevated

483
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. Yeah, I mean, I think that

484
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: the nucleus is strong here and you add pieces to

485
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: the puzzle, and we thought there were some really good

486
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: guys that could be able to step up. Anytime you

487
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: have to remove a talented wide receiver, arguably the best

488
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: in the game, there's got to be a collective group

489
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: that steps up. And nobody really put the onus on

490
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: themselves as an entire group to do that. They didn't

491
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: lift that up and carry that. But again, I think

492
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: there's enough young talent here to be able to draw

493
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: on the positives. As difficult as it is right now,

494
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still fresh in everybody's mind, and I

495
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: get that from a fan's perspective, but there's reason for

496
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: optimism moving forward because of what they have in place,

497
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: and Steve Kimes showed the ability to be aggressive, to

498
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: go out and make changes and make hard decisions, and

499
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: that's what they need to do. At this time, Murray

500
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: had thrown two interceptions behind the line of scrimmage. One

501
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: was the interception that came under pressure. Through the half,

502
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: he was one for six for five yards under pressure,

503
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: where this season he was a career high eighty eight

504
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: percent when came to his rating under pressure, clearly maybe

505
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: an anomaly because we hadn't seen that all season compared

506
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: to yesterday. Yeah, he definitely looked uncomfortable, skittish, whatever phrase

507
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: you want to make. And then, of course, when you're

508
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: not successful on first down or second down, you face

509
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: what the Cardinals did last night, third and sixth plus

510
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: on every single one of their third downs. Average yards

511
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 1: to gain on third down nearly twelve yards. They were

512
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: oh of nine on third down. Catch up on past

513
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: episodes of the Day Pash podcast via your preferred podcast provider,

514
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: got the let us updates via Twitter at hashpod. We

515
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: have hit halftime here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report.

516
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: When we come back, we turned our focus and attention

517
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: to the defense their struggles as well, although for the

518
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: large part of that second quarter they did get a

519
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: couple of three and outs to set up the offense.

520
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: Just never really got that complimentary football that we've seen

521
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: so many times this season. Craig Riya, Lu, Drew Stanton,

522
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: and Mike Drecki It is the Cardinals Red Sea Report

523
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, empty backfield. Stafford takes

524
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: the shotguns that in trouble gets rid of it right

525
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: side of Comper makes if that fort tuckdown somehow, We're

526
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: jumped out three. It's twenty seven nothing rans with ten

527
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: thirty six to go in the third Byron moofy one

528
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: on one and Cooper cop just ran and out road

529
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: and it was wide open. We've seen an heard Ron

530
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: Wilfley mentioned that several times during the second half of

531
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: the season, receivers wide open in the secondary. As we

532
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: welcome me back here to the Cardinals Red Sea Report,

533
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: Greig Riya, Lu, Drew Stanton, and Mike Dreckie discussing a disappointing,

534
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: frustrating performance on Monday Night Football Super Wild Card weekend.

535
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals lose the Rams thirty four to eleven. The defense

536
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: tried to keep the offense in the game. They did

537
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: so in the second quarter, just unable to in the

538
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: second half. The Rams scored on three straight possessions leading

539
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,239
Speaker 1: off with that Cooper Cup touchdown. And you look at

540
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: the numbers, m J. Cooper Cup didn't go off, ob

541
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: J didn't go off, and Jefferson didn't go off. But

542
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: the Rams were able to run the football and that

543
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: kept them a little bit more balanced than what we

544
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: thought the Cardinals would try to be. Last well, I mean,

545
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals crossed midfield and maybe in the

546
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: middle of the third quarter. But the thing is that

547
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: you know these Marco Wilson's young I mean, in Byron Murphy,

548
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: he played well in the first half of the season.

549
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: He really hasn't played as well in the second half

550
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: of the season. And Wilson allowed three receptions for seventy

551
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: six yards in a touchdown and as primary coverage defender

552
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: which increased to a hundred including plays nullified by al penalty,

553
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: and old Dell Belckham beat him on several occasions. And

554
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: so again, I mean, you look at that corner position.

555
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: It looked good coming on a training camp, or at

556
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: least initially when we were to stay healthy. Robert Alford,

557
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: they miss Robert Alford. He's physical. I would would have

558
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: put him on Odell Beckham. He can press him at

559
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: the line. But this is a work in progress. With

560
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: that that young secondary with Byron Murphy and Marco Wilson

561
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: and Antonio Hamilton and Kevin Peterson. Give him credit because

562
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: he's really more of a special teams player. Of course,

563
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: the pass rush could have given that secondary a lot

564
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: more help. And if you give Matthew Stafford time in

565
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: the pocket. He was hit on his first dropback, sacked

566
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: by Marcus Golden. He wasn't sacked the rest of the game,

567
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: only needed seventeen pass attempts to put up thirty four

568
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: points in this contest. Yeah, well, I think they played

569
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: complimentary football. You look at what the Rams did. They

570
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: did such a good job of that. And that felt

571
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: like every first down run they had of a second

572
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: five they were I mean, though the yardage like doesn't

573
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: jump out at you. They had thirty eight rush attempts,

574
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: and when you're doing that in a football game, you're

575
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 1: going to be successful. And it just felt like they

576
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: just stayed ahead of the chains. They stayed ahead and

577
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: moving it doing all these things. Matthew looked so comfortable.

578
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: I know everybody there was so much to do about

579
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and being owing three in the playoffs. He

580
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: went on the road to New Orleans, he went, I

581
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: was at that game when we got the brake speat

582
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: off of us. He went on the road to Seattle

583
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: and on the road to Dallas. Those are three tough

584
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: playoff teams that have been there, that have done that.

585
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: He was at home. He was comfortable, He looked in

586
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: control of everything. And all of a sudden, you start

587
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: blitzing him. Bring covers zero and you're trying to play

588
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: catch coverage with Cooper Cup and he has a two

589
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: way going Byron Murphy. There's not a single dB in

590
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: this league that has a prayer of a chance if

591
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: you unless you get home with that blitz. And Matthew

592
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: knew it was coming. He is a veteran quarterback, He studied.

593
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: He knows vance is going to bring pressure in certain situations.

594
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: And when you have alerts and checks and all these

595
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: things to get out of it, you're gonna nullify that blitz.

596
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: That blitz is not going to get home time versus

597
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, some of what we've seen in the past,

598
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of on offensively with getting caught with

599
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: the blitz. So it's a veteran team that we had

600
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: to play really, really well against. Um. I think the

601
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: defense was admirable in the very beginning. They tried to

602
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: hold on tight. But at the same time, this rush

603
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: defense that's been leaky at times seemed like they just

604
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: didn't have an answer. Yeah, Stafford shredded think Cardinal's defense

605
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: over the middle. He was seven for eight for one

606
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five yards on throws between the numbers.

607
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: His only completion between the numbers was a drop pass.

608
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: Ye shreded him. Yeah. I mean that's what I talked

609
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: about earlier in the season is we didn't have a

610
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: true nickel corner. We tried to put Byron in there,

611
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: and he's trying to do stuff like that, but we

612
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: had tremendous safeties and I think the linebacker play like

613
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: that's that's up for discussion and debate, but there wasn't

614
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: a true slot corner and the teams that can do

615
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: that because Tyler Higbee can create problems, you got to

616
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: devote another guy to Cooper cup Odell Beckham one on

617
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: one and he jumps that far inside Marco Wilson does.

618
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean they've got a two way go. It's you know,

619
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: that's pitching catch, that's routes on air for Matthew to

620
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: be able to throw the ball where he did. And

621
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: Marco's just in a tough position. He's a young guy

622
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: that's playing catch, coverage and trying to do all these

623
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: things because the previous meeting he gets beat on a

624
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: slant and Nodell scored on slants, and he's getting into

625
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: that and he's got strong hands. There's so many things

626
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: of the cat and mouse game that they just seemed

627
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: to be one step ahead, and you got to tip

628
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: your cap to him. Three hundred and seventy five yards

629
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: of offense by the Rams, one hundred and forty of

630
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: which on the ground. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. They

631
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: do a good job mixing it the run pass and

632
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: I thought Stafford was a fishing protected. They didn't turn

633
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: it over, which is his big and you know, kept

634
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: him on schedule all night. Cardinals lose thirty four two

635
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: eleven on Super wild Card weekend. We did see the

636
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: return of JJ Watt. We expected that emotional lift how

637
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: effective he was going to be in his twenty four

638
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: snaps though, was another part of the equation m J.

639
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: And you look, he did have three tackles, one tackle

640
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: for loss that was late in the third quarter. Good

641
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: to see him out there, just probably asking too much

642
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: for him to come in and really be the answer,

643
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: if you will, to kind of get that team in

644
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: the next round. Well, I maintain he's not the savior,

645
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: but I think he brings, you know, a lot of

646
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, presidents on the field. I think he played

647
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: nine snaps in the first half and then he finished

648
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: with twenty four, which was forty percent of the offense.

649
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: What was interested in me is they were pat tuning

650
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: Tenor Vallejo and Isaiah Simmons. Now Valejo obviously has more

651
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: familiar with the defense, but he got Isaiah Simmons. And

652
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: as you pointed out earlier when we heard in a

653
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: conversation Zaven Collins, start with the game. It was one play,

654
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: but you drafted two guys in in the first round,

655
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: and you're Tenor Vallejo. I mean, again, great savvy player,

656
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: but you thought at this point in the year you

657
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: get more production. The fact that they're patuning Zave Simmons

658
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: and Tenor Valjo. That was very interesting to me. Simmons

659
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: nineteen snaps, Collins eight snaps, Vallejo thirty eight snaps. Just numbers,

660
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: But as far as talent, I'd take Isaiah Simmons and

661
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: Zavan Collins over Tanner Vallejo. And that's nothing against Tanner Vallejo,

662
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: but as far as knowing what to do, Vallejo knows

663
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 1: what to do within that defense singing. Those guys are

664
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: much more athletic, but he's got it between the years

665
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: where he can figure out things that are happening on

666
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: the defense. So what happens now the offseason is upon us.

667
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: There are questions that need to be answered. We'll try

668
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: to do our best here and answer some of those

669
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 1: to the best of our ability. Here The Cardinals Red

670
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: Sea Report Craig Riol, Drew Stanton, and Mike Drecki on

671
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. John Gutt snapped hand off

672
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: Connor up the middle and he spun towards the goal

673
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: line and his world a touchdown. James Connor is in

674
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: those two yards out and the Cardinals are finally on

675
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: the board with four eleven to go, but still down

676
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: three scores well. Twelve personnel runs back too tight ends

677
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: and all you did hand the ball off the James

678
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: Conner out of the gun running the inside play. It's

679
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: a nice haul at the point of attack. That was

680
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: an easy touchdown for James Connor and the only touchdown

681
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals against the Rams last Night's on Monday

682
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: Night Football, a two yard touchdown run capping a twelve

683
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: play seventy five yard drive. Cardinals lose the Rams thirty

684
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: four to eleven. As we continue here on the Cardinals

685
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: Red Sea Port Craig Riel, Drew Stanton, and Mike Drecki,

686
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals season is done. They win eleven games and

687
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: the regular season. Their postseason stay is one game and done,

688
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: and now the offseason begins. Before we get to our

689
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on the offseason, Chase Edmonds on the message delivered

690
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: in the locker room post game. When you have a season,

691
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: any loss in an NFL, we're just in the football

692
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: locker room. You know, you don't you don't really talk

693
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: about what went wrong, just obviously you know, guys and

694
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: look at the film tomorrow on their own, but just

695
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: show appreciation for all the guys in the room, all

696
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: the coaches in the room. You know, it's it's hard

697
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs at NFL, and that's something

698
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: we accomplish. Obviously, definitely didn't end the way we wanted

699
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: it to end. Had a bigger ambitions, But so just

700
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: to speak on the progress that we made as a

701
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: team and find ways to build and become a better

702
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: team next year. Very hard for a lot of fans

703
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: through to kind of look at this season as a success.

704
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: You don't discount the eleven wins, but it's not just

705
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: a matter of getting into the playoffs. It's a matter

706
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: of an extended postseason running. Yeah, expectations change. You start

707
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: off seven to zero and ten and two, your expectations

708
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: the bar gets raised, and it was raised by those

709
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: players in the locker room, and now all of a sudden,

710
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, well, how do you get back to

711
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: that position and maybe not worried about a undefeated start

712
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: to the first two months and play better football in

713
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: the month to send burn January? Yeah, I think you

714
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: just take it one week at a time and you

715
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: can either look at it with the glass half full

716
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: or half empty, depending on how you want to take away.

717
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: And unfortunately it's so hard to win one game in

718
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, and we're sitting here and I know everybody

719
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: is sulking and feeling bad for what happened. They're still

720
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: one of the top fourteen teams to make it in

721
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. There's something to be said about that because

722
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 1: last year they were at home, they didn't make the playoffs.

723
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: They didn't know what to do. So they continue to

724
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: keep getting over these hurdles and I think that's something

725
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: you can build on and next year, if they're ten

726
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: and two, everybody's can pick, oh, well, that's the same collapse.

727
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: That's not the case. This team is going to be

728
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: different each and every year. There's a lot of free

729
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: agents that came in this year that were pivotal on

730
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: being successful. There's a lot of free agencies that are

731
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot of free agents that will be leaving. Every

732
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: team is different, the makeup is different each and every year,

733
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: and I think that again, I talk about the nucleus,

734
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: the guys that are going to be in that locker room,

735
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: and it's very strong. It's very strong, and I think

736
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: those are the things you build off of. If you

737
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: look and identify and correct the mistakes of Okay, whether

738
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: it's schematically what we can do differently, or how can

739
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: we get Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons on the field continuously?

740
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: And there had to be some reservation with all the

741
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: shifting and the motion and in the gap control of

742
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: that defense that they didn't feel comfortable to you change

743
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: your scheme a little bit? Do you dumb it down

744
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: in a sense of you don't have as many moving

745
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: pieces on the fly, and you try and just let

746
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: your athletes be the athletes they are. But maybe they

747
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't feel good in the second or we don't know

748
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: these questions, but these are all questions that are being

749
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: asked upstairs an offensively same thing, the struggles that happened

750
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: of the second half of the season. How can we

751
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: make sure and take an honest assessment of Okay, was

752
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: it a DeAndre Hopkins things? Was it a scheme thing?

753
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: Was it a guy? Do we need to go and

754
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: make sure that we're doing this and everybody's going to

755
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: be a year longer in the system. When we saw

756
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: the big jump from your two to three of what

757
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: was capable of doing that, and there's no reason to

758
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: expect that they can't keep rolling that way and that

759
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: thing because this is a team that people want to

760
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: be a part of. This is an organization and free

761
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: agency that's going to attract great players and get them

762
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: to come sign one year deals and take a chance

763
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: because they're that much closer. It's not like you're signing

764
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: with the Detroit or a Houston or something of that nature.

765
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: They're going to get those guys, and the teeter totter

766
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: is going to swing in their favor if they have

767
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: the ability to do it. Because they're on the precipice

768
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: of being very, very good. It's just a matter of

769
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: correcting some of the things that they need to correct

770
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: and addressing them in the off season. Without question, a

771
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: pivotal off season, a busy off season ahead for this

772
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals team. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury disappoint I

773
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: don't get to carry on with this group. Really appreciated

774
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: the leadership we had, you know, the work athlete. These

775
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: guys showed up every day through a bunch of injuries

776
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: and COVID and all sorts of issues and never never

777
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: stop believing and working hard. And it's just it's tough

778
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: when you don't get a coach anymore. But we'll look

779
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: at the ways we can get better throughout the off

780
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: season and continue to try and build this organization. No

781
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: team is the same year in and year out. And MJ.

782
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: There are more than two dozen free agents for this

783
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals team, and I know they're offense, defense and priority,

784
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: but that's you know, that's a lot of players and

785
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee and I'll say this, there is a

786
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: guarantee that not all twenty four and more than twenty

787
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: four will be back. Yeah, because you got to look

788
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: at it. Who they're going to retain and then who

789
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: will they draft and who will they make trades for. Yeah,

790
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: but I mean, obviously it's not going to be the

791
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: same team. But you can add to it. And to

792
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: why I look at is they got to get better

793
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Yeah,

794
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: you can add an extra corner, Union number two receiver.

795
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: Depending on what happens with Christopher Kirk. You know, I

796
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: would like to bring James Connor Backum is what kind

797
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: of markets out there for him? Is he you know

798
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: a one two punch with someone else where they're gonna

799
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: draft a young running back and he's gonna be you know,

800
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: not getting his reps. Yeah, I mean it's the thing is,

801
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: you got to get better. And in all fairness, though

802
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: last year they put together a ten win team, the

803
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: players failed and the coaches failed. They put together a

804
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: good roster this year, I mean they hit on a

805
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: lot of these one year deals. Unfortunately there was an execution,

806
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: so the coaches and the players failed again back to

807
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: back years. Unfortunate the way this season finished. Immediate reaction

808
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: from Kyle the Murray as far as what's ahead for him,

809
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: I haven't really thought about the future or anything like that.

810
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: Trying to trying to, you know, soak all this in. Um,

811
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of motions, you know, proud of the team,

812
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: probably the way we fought, a lot of disappointment and

813
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: failure to end the season. But there's definitely a lot

814
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: to build all as well. You've mentioned a couple of

815
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: times Drew as far as you know, key players offense, defense,

816
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: a core that you can build around. And you have

817
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: to have a quarterback and this team believes it has

818
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But there's gonna be some pressure now on

819
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Murray, not just to win double digits games in

820
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: a regular season, but to get into the postseason because

821
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: you're judged by your season success, not your regular season

822
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: success exactly. I mean, you look at the teams consistently

823
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: year in and year out there go on to win

824
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Their quarterback is playing the best in

825
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: the league at that time. Matthew Stafford played a tremendous

826
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: game yesterday. You look at all of the quarterbacks that

827
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: went out there, Patrick Mahomes, all the teams that are

828
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: left in it have quarterbacks that are capable of going

829
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: out and winning football games for you, and you want

830
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: to be playing your best football now. I think Kyler

831
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: is capable and being in that upper elite echelon of

832
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this league. But there you need to continue

833
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: to progress, you need to adapt, you need to learn

834
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: and grow and continue to push the envelope, and I

835
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: think he'll do that. You can hear how discontent in

836
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: his voice he is. I don't think it's a massive failure.

837
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: Like JJ Watt said, there's only one team that's happy

838
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. I was fortunate enough

839
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,919
Speaker 1: to be on that team last year and it felt great.

840
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: Every other year is considered a failure because you're trying

841
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: to win the ultimate prize. But at the end of

842
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: the day, once you get it this far, you have

843
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: to make sure that your identity with who you are

844
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: and the person next so you can count on them

845
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: undoubtedly throughout anything that comes your way. And that team,

846
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: that football team in Los Angeles was just a better

847
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: team at this point in time. And there's not saying

848
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: that that's not going to change or can't be adjusted.

849
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: And Kyler is going to do a great job of

850
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: continuing to progress and getting the guys along. But this

851
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: team could look vastly different to your point, because half

852
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: a dozen of these guys are not going to be

853
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: here for sure, and the other dozen might not be

854
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: too Like during the season, that is when a football

855
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: team is formed. And I used to coach told me

856
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: this offseason comes, that's when the player becomes selfish. That's

857
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: when the player gets the ability to then pick and

858
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: choose where he goes if his contracts up. When you

859
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: sign up and you play for this organization, this team,

860
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: and I've been in that locker room, I know how

861
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: special it is here. There is a differentiating factor of

862
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: being able to be a part of this team that

863
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: I know these guys, some guys will take less money

864
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: to stay here to be a part of this. And

865
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: that's a lot a lot to be said for at

866
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: this day and age, changes are coming. What kind of changes?

867
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: How many changes? Here's Kyler Murray. That's one of those

868
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: things that you know, hasn't you know, it won't sink

869
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: in until you know, maybe a couple of days or whatever.

870
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: But you know, hopefully we can get some of those

871
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: guys back, you know, if not all of them. So

872
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, when you build relationships with these guys, that's

873
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: always the tough part about sports is here one day,

874
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: going the next. So I love all those news and

875
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing here, MJ. Is the fact that

876
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: you form relationships and then all of a sudden it's goodbye,

877
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: and maybe you cross paths, maybe you don't, and then

878
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's next season and you develop

879
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: new relationships. But you want to make sure you maintain

880
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: or retain those key pieces to get this team to

881
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: the next step. Yeah. I think this team was very

882
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: close when it comes to just personalities, and you know,

883
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: everyone pulling for each other. When a guy would make

884
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: a play, they come to the sidelines, they were encouraging,

885
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: whether it was backups. I thought it was a close

886
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: knit group and unfortunately you're just not going to be

887
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: able to bring the same team back next year. Is

888
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: there a priority for you, Drew when you look at

889
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: the offseason, if we play general manager here for like

890
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, what you would do. I'd love to play

891
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: general manager. No, I think that you need playmakers. You

892
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: can never have enough playmakers. And they added James Connor

893
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: to the mix. Getting guys like that that have a

894
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder, that have that mentality to go

895
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: out there and affect an entire team based off of that,

896
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: that's imperative. And getting as much protection for Kyler Murray

897
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a necessity to make him feel comfortable,

898
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: to make him and allow him to play to the

899
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: capability we've seen. Maybe we'll have to play GM with

900
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton later on, maybe several times this offseason, just

901
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: to see what kind of team. Of course, would be

902
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of wide receivers and no running backs, and

903
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: just so I want to throw the ball. I want

904
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: all mean, nasty offensive linemen that are in the thick

905
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: of things with me. Special thanks behind the scenes are
