The Texans beat 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 3: the Cardinals forty to twenty. Nico Collins of fifty seven 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 3: yard touchdown catch on the second play from scrimmage and 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 3: it was seven to nothing Houston. Forty nine seconds into 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 3: the game, the Cardinals turned it over. On the ensuing kickoff, 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 3: Texans get three points. They lead ten to nothing in 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: the offense hasn't been on the field yet. The Cardinals 14 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 3: went three and out. After that, they got negative seven 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: yards and then on a fumble it was ruled of 16 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 3: fumble returned for a touchdown by Marks from a yard out. 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 3: It seventeen to nothing. The Cardinals did score early second 18 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 3: quarter on a touchdown grab by Trey mcbriden to make 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: it seventeen to seven. A couple of more fair barren 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 3: Field goals before halftime, it was twenty three to seven. 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 3: And then it was thirty to seven and the third 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 3: but the Cardinals hung around. They got it down to thirteen. 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: It was thirty three to twenty in a Michael Wilson 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 3: one yard touchdown, but the Cardinals could not get the 25 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: ball back from the Texans. They score once again after 26 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 3: a ten play four and a half minute drive to 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 3: end it a four yard touchdown catch by Collins, his 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 3: second grab of the day and the final score Houston forty, 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: Arizona twenty. 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: C J. 31 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: Stroud with three touchdown passes on the day and a 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 3: quarterback rating of one hundred and thirty seven. 33 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 4: I mean, he operated that game like a champion. He 34 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 4: really did. I mean the entire game, from start to finish. 35 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: He delivered the ball in time. He didn't really force 36 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 4: any throws. He took what the defense gave him. They 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 4: ran the ball well, which I think helps that any team. 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 4: It helped his team obviously today. And he did a 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 4: nice job in the play action getting the ball to 40 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 4: the tight ends, all the naked boots, and then when 41 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 4: he needed to take his shots to Nico Collins, he 42 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 4: took him downfield and Nico made plays, made some people miss, 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden you get chunks and explosives. 44 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: Jordan finished with one hundred yards rushing. Collins had eighty 45 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 3: five yards receiving. Schultz set seventy six. Trey McBride had 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: twelve catches for one hundred and thirty four yards and 47 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 3: two touchdowns. Michael Wilson five catches fifty four yards and 48 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: a touchdown per set with three touchdown passes and all 49 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: but he also had an interception. Let's start with Trey McBride. 50 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: He sets two NFL records today, most consecutive games sixteen 51 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: in a row by a tight end with five or 52 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: more catches, first time in NFL history, and back to 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: back seasons of one hundred plus catches by a tight end, 54 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 3: first time in NFL history. 55 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 4: I mean, anytime you say first in NFL history once, 56 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 4: I mean just once is in saying to hear it 57 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 4: twice is even more insane. You're etched in history, in 58 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 4: America's game and the biggest sport in the world and 59 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 4: the most watched sport in the world. You are etched 60 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: in history. Your jersey already went to Canton last week. 61 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 4: You got probably a couple in your jersey this week, 62 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 4: and probably send two because it's another one, right, So 63 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 4: he's gonna have three jerseys in Canton and back to 64 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 4: back weeks and only played two games. And oh, by 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 4: the way, he might have a bust there someday too. 66 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 3: It's heading that way, right. It's year four. But what 67 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 3: he's doing is incredible, and unfortunately the Cardinals aren't winning enough. 68 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: And hopefully as Michael Wilson emerges and the Cardinals figure 69 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: out their quarterback situation for next year and hopefully an 70 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: improved offensive line will see postseason games for Trey McBride. 71 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: Michael Wilson another game where he's the number one receiver 72 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: and the target to reception ratio wasn't what it had been, 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: but still eleven targets, five catches, fifty four yards at 74 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: a touchdown. That touchdown catch was incredibly that he had. 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 4: It really was. I mean it was a back shoulder 76 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 4: throw that he ends up catching with one hand, switching 77 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: hands in the air, keeping feet and bounds. That wasn't 78 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 4: even the most impressive catching the day for me, because 79 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 4: it was the route that he ran against Stingley down 80 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 4: to our left and he fakes it like he's gonna 81 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: run a go ball, steps on his feet, runs by 82 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 4: Stingley gets his back turned, puts the brakes on, comes 83 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: back and again, this is either the number one or 84 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 4: number two corner in the National Football League, and he 85 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 4: made him look silly on that play. So I think 86 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 4: what he's done has been fantastic. We've talked about it 87 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 4: over and over again. He needs to be a major 88 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 4: focal point of this offense moving forward period. 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: All Right, Michael Carter had a nice day on the 90 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 3: ground and as a receiver, and he's standing by with Paul. 91 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get into his individual stats here in a moment. 92 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: Just give us a couple of thoughts on how you 93 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: thought this game went. I mean, especially the way the 94 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: game started. It's not the first time things have gone 95 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: sideways off the bat anything you can put your finger on. 96 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: In terms of how this team has been starting games. 97 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think every game is different, so it's hard 98 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 5: to string along good reason. You know, they're all different. 99 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 5: So today we just we just we just started off. 100 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 5: We gave them ten points right away, right and the 101 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 5: second drive of the game, we defense did a really 102 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 5: good job of getting off the field and then we 103 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 5: kind of just started a game from ten to zero 104 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 5: and against the already good team and you can't do that, 105 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 5: you know, like, we can't do that. We literally can't 106 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 5: do it. So I do think we really play hard though. 107 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 5: I just it just, you know, comes down to playing 108 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 5: complimentary football. I know people get tired of hearing that, 109 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 5: but that's all it is. Offense, defense, special teams. They 110 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 5: gotta all click at the same time. 111 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: And the Cardinals got down seventeen nothing, yet the team 112 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: did not abandon the run game, right. I mean, you 113 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: forged a thirteen place seventy one yard touchdown drive Trey 114 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: McBride captain with a touchdown catch, but you had a 115 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: couple of nice chunk runs in there. So what was 116 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: the mentality at that point? 117 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, personally, I felt good today running the ball. The 118 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 5: guys really they got We got pushed today and that's 119 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 5: something that we've been challenging ourselves to do, is get 120 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 5: vertical push, and we really did that against the number 121 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 5: one defense in the league. And I think that's these 122 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 5: volumes to you know, how they how how we ran 123 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 5: the ball race because of them. Trey obviously trades the 124 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 5: best tid in the league, and you expect him to 125 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 5: make certain plays like that, you know what I mean, 126 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 5: It's not pressure, you know. I mean, I guess it 127 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 5: is because you know you compensate a guy that way, 128 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 5: and you know you expect to perform, but he does 129 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 5: every week. 130 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: So kudos players, know, players, What makes him so lethal 131 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: because when he's making plays, I here, guys just shout 132 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: out randomly on the sideline. He's a beast, you know how. 133 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 5: So he's so subtle, he's got great pace. He plays 134 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 5: with his brain like pre snap and then when when 135 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 5: it comes to life, he makes the right decisions all 136 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 5: the time and he doesn't drop anything. And he's very 137 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 5: very confident and who he is with the type of 138 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 5: talent he is, and. 139 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: He when he sit up no doubt. Hey we're on 140 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: border of Cardinals running back Michael Carter ninety four yards 141 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: from scrimmage. You mentioned that number one ranked ninety four six, Shy, 142 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: you had fourteen carries for fifty six that's in even 143 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: four yards of carrier. You had thirty eight yards receiving 144 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: on four grabs. You're a little underrated as a as 145 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 2: a receiving back. 146 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 5: Would you say, yeah, I am, But I feel like 147 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 5: you know, you go, you live life, you go through 148 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 5: the ups and downs. People are gonna tell you what 149 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 5: you can of can't do, but you gotta go showing 150 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 5: that you can regards, you know what I mean. So 151 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 5: I'm just blessed to be able to be in this 152 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 5: position and I've been replacing my anxiety with gratitude lately, 153 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 5: so it's been a bit differ for me. 154 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: That's well said. What was the challenge? You mentioned this 155 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: Houston top ranked defense. I could spend an hour talking 156 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: about their stats, right, I mean, historically good defense. You 157 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: guys have a banged up offensive line, yet you moved 158 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: the football, you found the end zone. What was most 159 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: important today? 160 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 6: Yeah? 161 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 5: I think it goes I think it kind of comes 162 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 5: back to like the run game plan we had this week. 163 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 5: I thought it was really good and I feel that 164 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 5: we did a pretty good job of executing it. And 165 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 5: kudos to uh Drew for not giving up on the run. 166 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 5: He saw something in it. And we kind of attacked 167 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 5: the middle of the defensive line today and but you know, 168 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 5: like we gott we get in the red zone. I 169 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 5: don't know how how are we doing a re zone? 170 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: I don't have that off the top of my Maybe 171 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: Dave can check on that. 172 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 5: While I'm uh and two touchdown US two for three, 173 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 5: two for three. It's pretty it's pretty good, you know 174 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 5: what I mean, Like, obviously you wanted three for three, 175 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 5: but I think we just got to do a better 176 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 5: job of getting to the red zone because we do 177 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 5: pretty good in the red zone if I remember correctly. 178 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: As we wrap this up, if this team can find 179 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: a way to finish strong in the last three games, 180 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: what would it do for the overall confidence level a 181 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: lot of young guys on this team, and what will 182 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: it take to kind of get that mentality back. 183 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 5: I think the thing is that I think we got it. 184 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 5: It's just like we I think we we are. 185 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 6: We are winning? 186 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 5: Is that heart? It's just like a matter of and 187 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 5: it kind of was a story at the beginning of 188 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 5: the season. We had to finish the game, you know, 189 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 5: so whatever that is, Like, we're gonna figure it out. 190 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 5: And that's the thing, Like it's one season, but it 191 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 5: is it is a marathon, you know what I mean. 192 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 5: Like every day is a different journey, and every day 193 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 5: is you know, it has new lessons. So we we're 194 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 5: gonna figure something out. We work really hard, so something 195 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 5: got to give Michael appreciate it's a tough locker room. 196 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: Thank you. For the time. 197 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 6: Thank you. 198 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 2: Thanks. There you go, Michael Carter. Guys will pitch it 199 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: back up to you, all. 200 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 6: Right, Paul. 201 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 3: The Cardinals Locker Room Show is presented by Tim Hovik, 202 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 3: Santan Forward and Gilbert Righting on the price right on 203 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 3: the corner of the Santantuo two Freeway in val Vista. Well, 204 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 3: Michael Carter with some very thoughtful answers, and you can 205 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: sense frustration obviously, and the way the team started the game, 206 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: it was interesting. I just want to go back to 207 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: one thing he said about Trey McBride. A lot of 208 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 3: times you hear about a quarterback, Well, the game has 209 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: slowed down for him. He's playing at a great pace. 210 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 3: I liked his description of Trey McBride and the pace 211 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: at which he plays, because when McBride came out of 212 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: Colorado State that first year, he wasn't playing at that pace. 213 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 3: Everything looked really fast. But and I don't know as 214 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: a player, if you know, is that something you see 215 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 3: a lot from guys as they get older. Even though 216 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 3: it's not a quarterback, it's a it's alignment or in 217 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 3: McBride's case, a tight end. 218 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 4: I remember when it happened, specifically, it was it was. 219 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 4: It was year three for me where the game slowed down. 220 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 4: And then I felt like every year I came back 221 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 4: for training camp, it continued to slow down. And when 222 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 4: when you say slow down, that doesn't mean obviously literally 223 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: that doesn't mean it's slowed down. That means that now 224 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 4: you see everything at a different speed. You see everything 225 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 4: much faster, and now you can operate much faster. And 226 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 4: when I when when I say that now everything becomes slow, 227 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 4: it's almost like poetry in motion. It's almost like, Uh, 228 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: you put yourself in this this weird state of mind 229 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 4: when you're out on the field, and now you don't 230 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 4: hear anything. You don't even hear the crowd noise. You 231 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 4: just hear silence, and everything makes sense. Everything you see, 232 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 4: you almost see it before it's happening. And I think 233 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 4: that's kind of what's happening with Trey. And as every 234 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 4: year comes along, he continues to get better. He continues 235 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: to see more, He continues to see all of the 236 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 4: different coverages that are thrown his way. And because of that, 237 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 4: now he knows how to do these little vet moves 238 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 4: like Travis Kelcey and George Kittle and all these guys 239 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 4: as they continue to get better and older. It's how 240 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: you can look somebody off with your eyes real quick 241 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: to get him to turn this way. And now all 242 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 4: of a sudden, you just created four yards of separations, 243 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 4: all of those little things. 244 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: And you mentioned it was year three for you. It 245 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 3: feels like it's year three for Michael Wilson with the 246 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: game slowing down for him, especially here in the last month. 247 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 3: But while those are the bright spots, there were plenty 248 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 3: of negatives. Let's talk about the defense because I know 249 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 3: there are injuries at defensive back, injuries at lineback, and 250 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 3: there are some injuries on the defensive line. But you know, 251 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 3: for the most part, you've been pretty whole up there 252 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: in terms of your best players have been healthy. Although 253 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: Walter Nolan was hurt for a while, we're seeing what 254 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: he can do. What has to change defensively because here 255 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 3: we are watching another forty point surrendering. 256 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 4: Tackling needs to get better, and it needs to get 257 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 4: better in a hurry. I think that's the biggest thing. 258 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 4: Like even Keaton Crawford had a chance, you know later 259 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 4: in this game where he comes down he fills the holes. 260 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 4: I think it was a third and one and it's 261 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 4: there they're trying to hit guys as opposed to wrap up, 262 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 4: run through and make the tackle, secure the tackle. And 263 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 4: that is the one thing that we noticed on the 264 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: other side of the ball, right, I thought Houston on 265 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 4: the other side of the ball was fantastic at that 266 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,359 Speaker 4: and not leaving their hips behind, running their hips through contact. 267 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 4: I mean, these are basic fundamentals you're taught in Mighty 268 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 4: Might League, and for me to watch that at the 269 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 4: pro level, it's just now, you're just you're your lack 270 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 4: and focus, you're lacking discipline, You're lacking certain things in 271 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 4: certain areas, and tackling is a big part of the game. 272 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: And so if you if you're lacking it in the 273 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 4: fundamentals on that aspect, and I continue to watch it. 274 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 4: We watched it a week ago. This Houston team is 275 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: not a very good running football team. Today they ran 276 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 4: the ball and they blocked well up front, they run, 277 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 4: ran through tackles and got more yards than they should have. 278 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: And look, injuries aren't real. It's a part of it. 279 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 3: It's been a factor for the Cardinals, but there are 280 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: other teams with better records that have more injuries. So 281 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: fans don't want that they don't want that to be 282 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: used as an excuse, although it is real. It is 283 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 3: definitely impacting this team. But they've got to figure it 284 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 3: out defensively because you've got three games left and when 285 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 3: you're having a bad season, everybody's job is at stake, players, everything, 286 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 3: and you know, for the Cardinals, you want to do 287 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 3: something to feel good going into the offseason. Can you 288 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: get a couple here down the stretch to at least 289 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 3: feel better about the direction of the team, because again, 290 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: since Week two, they just have one win. 291 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 4: And they've let teams run on them. I think that's 292 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 4: the biggest disheartening thing when you talk about defense. Again, 293 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 4: we talk about this all the time. How you start 294 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: a football team is day one installs. Hey, we have 295 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 4: to stop the run and we have to run the football. 296 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 4: That's day one, from day one way back and after 297 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 4: the draft and OTAs, that's day one start of installed 298 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 4: training camp. That's day one of every single week on Wednesday, 299 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 4: when you come in and get the game plan, and 300 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks you run for two fifty. 301 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: If you're the la Rams this week, you're over one hundred. 302 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 4: You know who's coming to town next week. Bijon Robinson 303 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 4: might be the best running back talent in the National 304 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 4: Football League, and they got a really good offensive line. 305 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 4: And if you are not disciplined against that scheme, I mean, 306 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 4: there is huge holes across the board. So you better 307 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 4: get it figured out. And then you got to get 308 00:14:59,520 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 4: them on the grid. 309 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 3: You have a chance one hundred and forty three today rushing. 310 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 3: And to your point on Atlanta, that record can fool 311 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: you a little bit because they do have some talent. 312 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: Feels like with Kirk Cousins. He's much different than Michael Pennix, 313 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: but he's a veteran. And that was a great win 314 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: they just had in Tampa Bay. That was a must 315 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: win game for Tampa Bay. All you need to do 316 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 3: is hear Todd Bowles postgame reaction. They know how important 317 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: that was and how upset he was with the way 318 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 3: his team played. But they were out play by Atlanta 319 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: and they've got some young talented players on defense as well. 320 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: And if the Cardinals can't get that one, then you 321 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 3: got to get one on the road against Cincinnati. At 322 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: that point, now the Bengals season pretty much over. Who 323 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: knows that Joe Burrow and be playing by then you 324 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 3: have to think there's gonna be something at stake for 325 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: the Rams. Week Week eighteen, the hope was, well, maybe 326 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: you get them and Stafford doesn't play guys are out 327 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 3: because they've already wrapped things up. But the way things 328 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 3: are trending now, they play Seattle on Thursday night coming up, 329 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: and the Rams have Detroit today, so it's possible that 330 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: there isn't much at stake. But have to imagine that 331 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: the Rams are playing everybody that last game, So you've 332 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 3: got to do something to show yourselves and to show 333 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 3: your owner and to show the fans that the last 334 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: three games are not just hey, we're playing this out. No, 335 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 3: you've got to go out there and hopefully at least 336 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 3: get one. Be great, to get two obviously terrific, to 337 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: get them all to feel better about the way you 338 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 3: close the season, to give you a little momentum heading 339 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: into the offseason, Yeah. 340 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: No question. 341 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: And with next week being the last home game, it's 342 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 4: gonna be you got to put everything on the line, right, 343 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: Like you got Atlanta coming from the East coast all 344 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 4: the way across the country and they're going to be 345 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 4: dealing with jet lag and time difference and all the 346 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 4: things everything's basically going against Atlanta. I can't emphasize enough, 347 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 4: and I've emphasized it this entire year that the biggest 348 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 4: emphasis needs to be to start fast. We've talked about 349 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 4: it every single game basically since this losing streak kind 350 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 4: of has come to fruition. And here we are and 351 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 4: we think we're gonna watch really good starting effort, and 352 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the first three drivers of the game, offense, defense, 353 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 4: special teams are about as poor as you can ask for. 354 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it was really a tough start to this game, 355 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 3: and the Cardinals did fight back, but they end up 356 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 3: losing forty to twenty. And coach is standing by now 357 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 3: with Paul. 358 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: All right, coach, let's just start a big picture of 359 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 2: your thoughts as you process the outcome. Was there anything 360 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 2: that you considered most problematic today? Where do you start? 361 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 6: Yeah? 362 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 7: How we started the game? I mean, we're down, you know, 363 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 7: ten nothing before the offense trots on the field, you know, 364 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 7: and then we didn't get a stop that next short field, 365 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 7: we're down seventeen nothing and versus good football team, you 366 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 7: can't dig yourself a hole like that. So just we're 367 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 7: just not playing complimentary football. Right now, when one phase 368 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 7: is kind of rolling the other two, I feel like, 369 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 7: let the that phase down. Then when the other phase 370 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 7: gets going, then the other two let that one down. 371 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 7: So it's got to play better collectively three phases and 372 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 7: not get down. In games like this versus good teams, 373 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 7: it's hard to you know, figure yourself out of the hole. 374 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 6: We dug ourselves. 375 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 2: And when you diagnose the start like that, how much 376 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 2: of it is mentality or intensity or. 377 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 7: Is it just excellent thing that's mentality or intensity. The 378 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 7: guys they come to play, they're ready to go. It's 379 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 7: gonna come down to execution. We gotta make sure put 380 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 7: them in the right spots. We got to execute better. 381 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: You mentioned down seventeen. Nothing yet we just talked to 382 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: Michael Carter. You did not abandon the run game. You 383 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: had some nice runs. You went down the field thirteen 384 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: plays seventy one yards, made it seventeen to seven. Just 385 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 2: talk about the approach once you got down and the 386 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 2: ability to make it a game again. 387 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you gotta be resilient. And it's even 388 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 7: though you're down seventeen, those games can you know, get 389 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 7: out of hand real quick. But there's still a lot 390 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 7: of game left. So just like you said, Paul, you know, 391 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 7: you cut it to there, you know, and you're battling 392 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 7: and kind of going back and forth. 393 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 6: We didn't get a ton of stops today. That hurt. 394 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 7: They're putting points on the board. We gave we again though, 395 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 7: like you know, complementary football, we're putting the defense out 396 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 7: there on short fields, you know, three or four times. 397 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 7: The blockfield goal was good, I thought. Then in the 398 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 7: second half we went all the way down the field, 399 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 7: they come up with the pick a one on one ball, 400 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 7: the mic there and the red zone takes off points. 401 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 7: But then we got it to thirteen, you know, two score. 402 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 7: Game just ultimately didn't have enough in to tank. 403 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 2: You know, the pass run ratio on offense was almost 404 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: two to one. How much we would you just help 405 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: in general, if you get a more balanced offense. 406 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 7: Well the score has to be you know, in the balance. Still, 407 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 7: that's that's part of the reason why that ratio is 408 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 7: so high. I thought we did some good things running 409 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 7: the ball, especially versus that crew came in, Like we 410 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 7: felt like we needed to run. 411 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 6: The ball a little bit. Can't drop back all day 412 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 6: versus those guys. 413 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 7: But I'll tell you what. You know, the offensive line, 414 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 7: I thought did a good job block in the front. 415 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 7: You know, I don't know how many sacks, and he 416 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 7: was under some pressure a little bit, but I thought 417 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 7: they had held up pretty well. 418 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: But you know what, Danil Hunter and Will Anderson Junior, 419 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: two of the best in the game, really didn't get 420 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: in the box score. 421 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 6: To the very very nare in the game late there. 422 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought, like I said, I thought we battled 423 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 7: in some known pass too. I thought we executed some 424 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 7: things and did a pretty good job. 425 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 2: At halftime, Demiko Ryans told the sideline reporter for Fox. Yeah, 426 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: our halftime adjustment is we have to check Trey McBride 427 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 2: didn't work. He had twelve for one thirty four and 428 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 2: two touchdowns. I mean, on the sideline, guys, just yell out. 429 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: He's a beast. What is enabling him to be so effective? 430 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 2: Basically the best tight end in the execution? 431 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 7: You know, he goes out and does what he's coached 432 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 7: to do at a high level, and he's I'm proud 433 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 7: of him, man, He's he's playing his butt off. He 434 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 7: competes every snap. Watch the ball blocks in a run game. 435 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 7: I thought he did a good job I thought he 436 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 7: did a good job with his composure today because it 437 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 7: was getting a little chippy there, doing some things to 438 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 7: him to try to get him. I thought he played really. 439 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: Well in the red zone on offense Cardinals two for three. 440 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: There were some red zone stops forcing field goals on defense, 441 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 2: but overall, what more do you want to see that 442 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: you're not getting from your defense? 443 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 7: We got to the explosive players are killing us right now, 444 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 7: So I mean, until you know, we we allow runs 445 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 7: to pop and it's kind of like boom or bus 446 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 7: like it runs go for like one or two or 447 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 7: first downs and explosives. 448 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 6: So we got to do a better job there. 449 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 7: And I think when we're a body on a body, 450 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 7: you know, in the past game we got to get 451 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 7: guys down in zone. There's going to be some space. 452 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 7: But when we're playing pattern match concepts are man concepts. 453 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 7: You know, it's okay if they catch it away from 454 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 7: your leverage, but we got to tackle the ball right there. 455 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 6: That's what you know. 456 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 7: The first touchdown they were in man to man just 457 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 7: kind of ran away from us. Has got to be 458 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 7: throw catch tackles. 459 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: How did you assess how you're able to impact and 460 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 2: affect CJ. Strout today. 461 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 7: You know, I thought he did a good job where 462 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 7: we did have some pressure, one guy was winning. I 463 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 7: thought he avoided you know, negative plays really well. Use 464 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 7: this feed to extend plays, not put the ball in harms. 465 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 7: I thought he played well. He's a he's a tough 466 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 7: guy to get down. We knew that. But you know, 467 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 7: just our rush mechanics, whether we're bringing four or five 468 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 7: or six, we gotta make sure that we keep them 469 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 7: in the pocket a little bit better than we did today. 470 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 2: Kalia said the field goal block, but there was also 471 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 2: the fumble and the kickoff return. There's a sixty nine 472 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: yard kickoff return. How much of a factor was special teams? 473 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: So I'm saying complimentary football, you know what I mean. 474 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: If we're we got the number one job of the 475 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: return units is make sure the offense trot out there. 476 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: So we didn't do that today, and then when we're 477 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 2: when we're on defense in those coverage units, we can't 478 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 2: give up explosives. Last question, Andre Bachelli. We saw him 479 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 2: leave on a stretcher. Any update for the fame. 480 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he went to the hospital. He checked out. Okay, 481 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 6: he's gonna fly back. With us. 482 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 7: Obviously he had a neck scary deal. But good news 483 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 7: is he's he's looking like he's gonna be okay right now. 484 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 7: So he's gonna fly back with us.
