00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Come on, let's get back to the stadium for analysis

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: and exclusive interviews from the Cardinals locker Room. Here's Dave pash,

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, and Paul.

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: Calvizy interviews on the Cardinals Locker Room Show with Imari Demercato,

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 3: Zavan Collins, and of course the head coach, Jonathan Gannon.

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: After a Cardinals twenty nine to nine win over the Bears,

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 3: you know what's crazy, Wolf, The Cardinals are five and four.

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: They still have a negative point differential. They've been outscored

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: by their opponents by seven points. Wow, But it was

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: all the Commanders that was really the game. Otherwise, the

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: Cardinals two straight home games. They haven't given up a

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: touchdown on defense. Obviously, the defense shut down the Dolphins

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: in the second half. Last week. They give a three

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: field goals. Today, the offense puts up twenty nine great

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 3: special teams.

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: This was look.

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: The Rams game was a great win, in particular the

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: offense in the first quarter in Kyler Murray. This may

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: be the most complete win for Arizona this year.

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right about that, David. I would agree with

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 5: that statement right there. I think it is the most

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 5: complete win for the Arizona Cardinals. It was interesting though Miami.

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 5: Of course, Miami was a really really good pass defense,

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 5: and yet Miami jammed up the box and loaded up

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 5: the box against the Cardinals trying to shut down James

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 5: Connor and the Arizona Cardinals from running the ball. And

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 5: they did a good job of that. But that allowed

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray of course, to go off throwing the ball.

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 5: So that's how the Arizona Cardinals ultimately won that game

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 5: throwing the ball. Interesting here today, there was no doubt

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: about it. The Chicago Bears came out here and they

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: were very very aware of Marvin Harry, very very aware

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 5: of the Arizona Cardinal's ability to throw the ball down

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: the field. We didn't see him jam the box up

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 5: as much as we saw the Miami Dolphins try to

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 5: do that. So what did the Arizona Cardinals do? They

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 5: ran the ball. You've got to be capable of being

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 5: whatever you need to be to beat your opponent. That

42
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: is something that Bill Belichick used to preach over and

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 5: over and over again. You want to be versible, versatile,

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 5: you want to be capable of being whatever you need

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 5: to be in order to beat your opponent. We saw

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 5: that here today once again.

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: James Connor with one hundred and seven rushing yards. The

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: Cardinals had six sacks in the game, so they got

49
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: after the quarterback. They ran for two thirteen as a team,

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: three rushing touchdowns and Connor didn't have one of them.

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: Again McBride on that little jet sweep inside run of

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: the tight end, de Mercado and Benson with the rushing scores,

53
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: Cardinals win twenty nine to nine to go to five

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: and four more after this and the Cardinals radio network,

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: there were some turning point moments throughout this game. Wolf

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: It was seven to six Cardinals.

57
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 4: They kicked a field goal.

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: Leverage was called that took the field goal away, took

59
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: the points off the board, gave the Cardinals an automatic

60
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: first down Trey Benson first career touchdown. That made it

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: fourteen to six. Then it was fourteen to nine, and

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: of course de Mercado with four seconds to go into

63
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: the end zone on just a simple handoff, he really

64
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: wasn't touched. The Bears were completely fooled. It was twenty

65
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: one to nine. Ryland hit a twenty nine yard field goal,

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: a fifty five yard field goal, and then he had

67
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: the safety on the chop block in the end zone.

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: Final score twenty nine to nine. Again three rushing touchdowns,

69
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: no passing touchdowns for Kyler Murray for the first time

70
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: this year. But Kyler played a solid game again, protected

71
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: the ball. The one turnover was a fumble by Marvin

72
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: Harrison Junior after a catch and Murray he didn't force it,

73
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: and he said all the time, and Drew Petsing has said,

74
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: the ball is going where it's supposed to go. Let's

75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: go down to Paul in the locker room.

76
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: All right, here we go, saving Collins taking a seat.

77
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: Let's just say this he earned it. Two sacks, three

78
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: quarterback hit, six tackles, tackle for loss. Before we get

79
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: into your game, tell us about the defense. Would you

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: like the most about the defense I've ever Keep them

81
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 4: out of the end zone today?

82
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we kind of have this thing. I

83
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 6: call it Murphy's all everything. Get in the red zone,

84
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 6: but you don't let him in the end zone, you know,

85
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 6: keep them, keep them out of that end zone, keep

86
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 6: him out of the tub. You know, they get three points,

87
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 6: they say they do it four times, they get twelve.

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 6: Today they got you know, nine points. They only did

89
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 6: it three times. We played well in the red zone,

90
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 6: you know, and we kind of have that mentality no

91
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 6: matter what the situation is where we're at, you know,

92
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 6: you got to stop them right there. They got to

93
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 6: either stop where they're at or go backwards. So, you know,

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 6: the defense today, we freaking never worried about any situation,

95
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 6: no matter what it was, up, down, you know, whatever

96
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 6: it may be, just kept going.

97
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 4: How many different looks did this defense present a rookie

98
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: quarterback today?

99
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 6: I can't. I don't know. I don't know. I seriously don't.

100
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 6: I wish I did, but yeah, I'm sure it was

101
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 6: a bunch. It was by design, right I I hope.

102
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: So I'm just saying, you know, look, I mean, he's

103
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 4: half a season into his NFL career. It just seemed

104
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: like he saw a lot he had to think and

105
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 4: consider a lot today.

106
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 6: Correct as a rush, we kind of wanted to, you know,

107
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 6: get after him, bring his eyes down as a rush

108
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 6: as well, you know, not just you know, kind of

109
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 6: giving him time to be back there. So we kind

110
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 6: of got that job up front, and you know the

111
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 6: back end them being on guys. You know you don't

112
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 6: get there in the rush you see the ball throne,

113
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 6: you turn around to chase and you're seeing guys you know,

114
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 6: tip the ball or man covers the ball, sells because

115
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 6: you know they're all over there, guys.

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: So it's a it's a.

117
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 6: You know, yin and yang has to be always.

118
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: Fourth and ten early fourth quarter. I mean, I don't

119
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: know how many guys were coming through the A and

120
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 4: B gaps you end up getting the sacked. Do you

121
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 4: remember the fourth down and man, you guys just bum

122
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: rushed right the center of the old line.

123
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, we had an attack on our mind for sure.

124
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 6: You know there's how to get a big stop there,

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 6: and we were able to get it downe As a defense?

126
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: What else about your game? In this one right two

127
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: sex three quarterback hits, six tackles, tackle for loss in

128
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: the big red rage, we talked about how burstaly are,

129
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 4: how many different ways you're being used? Was that part

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 4: of the formula today?

131
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 6: You know three three technique to the field, you know,

132
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 6: freaking wide three technique to the boundary for whatever you

133
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 6: want to call it. You know, playing also outside in

134
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 6: an apex sometimes so kind of moving all over the place,

135
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 6: doing different things, dropping in coverage in certain certain pressures.

136
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's fun. I guess I gotta come on

137
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 6: the big red prage every week too.

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: Some good karma right there, all right was a wrap

139
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 4: it up. Here was Davin Collins. How do you like

140
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: the way this team is trending? Three straight wins? What's

141
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: the best explanation for that?

142
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 6: Just keep our mind on the next game, on the

143
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 6: next game, focus on what we can get better at,

144
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 6: and now what we've done, you know what I mean,

145
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 6: what not what what we've done doesn't really matter. You've

146
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 6: got to keep that the level that it's at. But

147
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 6: things that we need to work on, continue to get

148
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 6: better at. That's got to be on the priority of

149
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 6: your mind. Also the team that you're playing that week.

150
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 6: And we've done that, so we just got to keep moving,

151
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 6: you know, and just keep going in that direction.

152
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: Saving congratulations on that one. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

153
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: Sam and Collins will bring over a Mari de Murcado

154
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 4: once again. Zaven had a couple of sas guys, six tackles,

155
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: tackle for loss, three quarterback hits. A Mario de Mercado

156
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: four carries fifty nine yards rushing. We'll get through his

157
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: catches in a minute, but let's talk about the end

158
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: of the first half. First, what was the play call?

159
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 4: And then give us your own play by play on

160
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 4: that A Mario de Mercado here down to the Cardinals

161
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: victorious locker room.

162
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 7: Uh, it was really just a wise out play. Kyler

163
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 7: was like, let's make this one pop. So got the

164
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 7: ball and once I turned up, I just kind of

165
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 7: saw a lot of space and I was like, yeah,

166
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 7: I can't get tackled on this one. Like it's one

167
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 7: of those like you gotta score is you don't got

168
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 7: a choice.

169
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: The play call came into the huddle. How surprising, wasn't

170
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: in that situation you were going to keep the ball

171
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: on the ground.

172
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 7: Uh, sometimes we do that sometimes, Like it's just you know,

173
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 7: they're expecting pass on it, so it's kind of to

174
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 7: catch them off guard, and it works a lot of

175
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 7: the times.

176
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: And it worked again to day And at what points

177
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: you know, I'm gone, Yeah.

178
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 7: Once I hit that second level, I was like, there's

179
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 7: no way I'm getting caught right here.

180
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: Wolf called it, by the way, the Amari Hale Amurra Okay,

181
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: so you like that that that moniker, I like the

182
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: we could take that one.

183
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

184
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: What about the run game? I mean over two hundred

185
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: yards rushing as a team. What were some of the

186
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 4: keys to that today? Uh?

187
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's always the key for us every week.

188
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 7: You know, we know that's something that we're really good at,

189
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 7: so we lean on that and just to come out

190
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 7: and execute it in that fashion.

191
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 4: It's a great feeling, you know. I asked, I asked

192
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 4: a couple offensive linemen this week. They said, you know what,

193
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: the Bears defense plays hard, but so do we. How

194
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 4: much of the run game is just a mentality?

195
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 6: Yeah?

196
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 7: I think it's all mentality really. You know, they know

197
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 7: it's coming, we know it's coming. To just mino your mono.

198
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 7: You gotta win your one on ones.

199
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: We got a couple of big catches, including a third

200
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: down catch therees, one out into the flat and then

201
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: you at the jets and got the edge up the

202
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 4: sideline and we all we also went, wow, that that's

203
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: quite a burst you had right there. Do you do you?

204
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: I mean, tell us about that play?

205
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just caught the ball, and then Than's Tremaine

206
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 7: just kind of froze his feet and then yeah, took

207
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 7: off from there. You know, that's that's really the thing

208
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 7: you got do. Get the defenders stopped their feeting, and

209
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 7: it's at you're disposed at that point.

210
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: Do people underestimate your speed and your burst at times? Yeah,

211
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: all the time.

212
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 7: I think people always say my body type doesn't give

213
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 7: off that I'm fast. So yeah, i like to use

214
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 7: that to my advantage.

215
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna come back full circle. On the fifty

216
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: three our touchdown run before the half, this sideline erupted.

217
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 4: I mean, how how memorable is that when you come

218
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 4: to the sideline and everyone's there with a smile waiting

219
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: to dap you up.

220
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a great feeling, you know, just to be

221
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 7: supported by all my teammates. You know, everybody got my back.

222
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 7: I got everybody's back, so you know that's what that's

223
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 7: what we do it for it to have fun.

224
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 4: So it's a great feeling. And I asked saving this

225
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: similar question, what do you like most about where and

226
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: how this team is trending right now? I think I

227
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 4: just love the locker room.

228
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 7: You know, everybody's really close, and I think that's the

229
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 7: biggest thing. That's why we're playing so good because we

230
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 7: care about to do it next to us, and you

231
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 7: know you're gonna give everything for that guy because you

232
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 7: know he's gonna give everything for you.

233
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: Mary. Congratulations, appreciate it.

234
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 6: Appreciate you.

235
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 4: There you go, Mari Demercatta, guys.

236
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: Well first of Xavi and Collins given a shout out

237
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: to the big Red Rage to come on if we

238
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: can maybe make that happen. I'm sure if he wants

239
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: to come on on last week and maybe he wants

240
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: to come on again after having this great game. Imari

241
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: Demercato with the touchdown at the end of the half,

242
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: and I just think, well, the whole vibe right now

243
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: and early on when the Cardinals lost to Washington. I

244
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: think in years past, maybe we would have seen some

245
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: leaks and they would not been able to cover those leaks.

246
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: But I think it tells you a lot about the leadership, coaching,

247
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: the leadership in the locker room that they just patched

248
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: those They went and beat San Francisco and then for

249
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: the third time they shut out a team in the

250
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: second half, San Francisco being one of those teams, Detroit

251
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: being the other, and now today against the Bears and

252
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: giving up just three field goals in this game. And look,

253
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: it's a long season, you still have eight left. No

254
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 3: one is going to celebrate yet. But the fact you've

255
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: already exceeded your win total from last year and when

256
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: you got off to that rough one in three start,

257
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: I think it tells you a lot about the culture.

258
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: And as we've said many times, Wolf culture matters. It's

259
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: a big deal and it goes beyond what you're seeing

260
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: on the field, and a lot of times those things

261
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: that we don't see, they do show up on Sunday.

262
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: And maybe that was part of what we witnessed here

263
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: today and maybe what we witnessed the last three games.

264
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm so impressed. I really am in regard to

265
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 5: the defense and how the defense came out here and

266
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: played the offense as well. The offense, though, I've got

267
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 5: an expectation for that offense that they're going to be good,

268
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 5: that they're going to be able to come out here

269
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 5: and run the ball and impose their will on their opponent.

270
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 5: And a mass over two hundred yards rushing, yeah, I

271
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 5: kind of expect that out of this team. But the defense.

272
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 5: To see the way the defense is scrapping, I realize

273
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams is a rookie boy, is he talented too?

274
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 5: He made some throws today that we both looked at

275
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: each other like, Wow, There's not a lot of dudes

276
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 5: that I have seen make that throw in the National

277
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 5: Football League. He's wildly talented. I think he's going to

278
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 5: be a really, really good quarterback someday. But when you

279
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 5: think of this Chicago Bears offense with Dj Moore, Keenan Allen,

280
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 5: Roma dunes A Cole comet Deandres Swift, Caleb Williams as well,

281
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 5: when you think of all the talents out on the field,

282
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 5: the fact that this defense came out here and gave

283
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 5: up nine points, nine points to the Chicago Bears, I

284
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 5: not be any more impressed. Yeah, the Bears, they're right

285
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 5: in the middle of the pack sixteen, number sixteen in

286
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 5: point scored with twenty three point three per average. But

287
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 5: still to come out here and shut them down the

288
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 5: way that they did when they're all banged up, and

289
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: in particular on the defensive line, banged up and all

290
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 5: of a sudden, Sean Murphy bunting was a healthy scratch, right,

291
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 5: or it appeared to be a healthy scratch before the game.

292
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 5: All of a sudden, you come out here and you

293
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 5: got guys that are pushed into action and came out

294
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 5: here and played exceptionally well. I'm very impressed with the

295
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 5: defense of the Arizona Cardinals.

296
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: Sewn Murphy Bunting practiced all week. We were told woke

297
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: up neck was bothering him, so that's why he didn't

298
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: play today. How about Max Melton? How many times we

299
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: saw Max Melton covering. They've got two obviously very good

300
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: veteran receivers in a first round pick, and at times

301
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: he was on all those guys and we saw him

302
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: make plays on all those guys.

303
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 5: Max Melton, Yes, very interesting to see how this guy's

304
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 5: going to develop. What I loved as Max Melton was

305
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 5: walking up and playing a press technique a lot of

306
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 5: the time, and then he was in man coverage, but

307
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 5: he was playing a press like he was going to

308
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 5: put his hands on the receiver but didn't. He played

309
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 5: an off technique from a press look, which is something

310
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 5: that I really like and he needs to continue to

311
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 5: develop that. But I thought tackling overall was really really

312
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: improved for the Cardinals based on what we saw last week.

313
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: I thought tackling overall was improved as well.

314
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: What has to be better, because again, this is a

315
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: three game win streak. It's great, it's fantastic, But Jonathan Gannon,

316
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: I guarantee you as not spraying champagne around the locker room.

317
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: They've got a long way to go. We had eight

318
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: games left. You've got a Jets team coming here here

319
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: that just beat CJ. Stroud in Texans. It has to

320
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: get better.

321
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 5: For me, it's got to be the protection given to

322
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray. Right now, Kyler Murray has in the last

323
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 5: couple of games, He's saved them a lot of sacks.

324
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 5: I would say by moving around the pocket the way

325
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 5: that he does. That's always going to be the case

326
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 5: with Kyler Murray. But I think they got to do

327
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 5: a better job protecting him generally speaking. Now, again, when

328
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 5: I say that, I'm talking about a technique perspective, I'm

329
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 5: talking about the offensive line specifically playing better and doing

330
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 5: a better job of protecting him. If he can get

331
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: any type of pocket awareness to a point where he

332
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: feels really, really comfortable inside the pocket, that is only

333
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 5: going to continue to help the Arizona Cardinals. I kind

334
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 5: of feel like I'm nitpicking. Yeah, and the reason why

335
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 5: is because Kyler Murray does an excellent job extending a

336
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 5: lot of plays. It's what he does, it's who he is,

337
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: it's his gifts, and he's got to use those gifts.

338
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 5: So I don't you know, I don't want to say

339
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 5: he's got to throw the ball only from the pocket

340
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 5: because I don't believe that he throws the ball exceptionally

341
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 5: well outside of the pocket. And I love the fact

342
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 5: he's extending plays with his legs. But I think, David,

343
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 5: if you're asking me what needs to be better, and

344
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 5: they go overall the consistency and protection for Kyler Murray.

345
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 3: Look, you're nitpicking because the coaches are nitpicking. That's what

346
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: they do.

347
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 6: True.

348
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: Three sacks given up today, none in the last three games.

349
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: So to your point about better protection and that Murray,

350
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: you know, Ken, sometimes that sack, the lack of sacks

351
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: allowed is a little misleading because there's pressures and Murray

352
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: is getting out of there because he's a great athlete

353
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: and not getting sacked.

354
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 4: I just love the.

355
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: Fact that he didn't have to go out there and

356
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: be the hero today. He didn't have to go throw

357
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: it around the park. He only ran it with the

358
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: one time in that design run. That's right, it was

359
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: everybody else and there. I think that's really good. I

360
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: think the Cardinals need to be in a place where

361
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: that's the case, where it's not about Kyler Murray having

362
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: because he's got three games this year where they've had

363
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 3: game winning drives, come from behind wins, and also three

364
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: games this year where they won by one or two points,

365
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: which ties the franchise record for a season. To be

366
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 3: able to get a blowout and to be able to

367
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: blow a team out when your quarterback doesn't have to

368
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: be a superstar, I think that's big.

369
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 5: No, that is, that's absolutely huge right there.

370
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: It is.

371
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 5: But you know, once again, I love the juxtaposition of

372
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 5: the last two games and how the Arizona Cardinals won

373
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 5: those last two games. Kyler Murray had to bring him

374
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 5: back to win, and that's what he did. He put

375
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 5: his team in position to win on that last possession.

376
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 5: Today they came out here, took care of business, won

377
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 5: a game in a different way. That to me is

378
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 5: what kur just me. They ran the ball today were

379
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 5: last week? Of course they threw the.

380
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 4: Ball all right. JG is with Paul, all right, coach,

381
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 4: I got start in a dozen different spots, but let's

382
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: start with a defense that held them out of the

383
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: end zone, held them scoreless in the second half. Would

384
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 4: you like the most from the d today?

385
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought, I mean, you know, known pass we

386
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 8: were really good today, you know, so we're you know,

387
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 8: I just think we're rushing them. Well, I just told

388
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 8: the media, like, as good as we rushed today, I

389
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 8: thought it was a really good plan, really good execution.

390
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 8: Guys winning a lot of one on ones, and as

391
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 8: good as the rush was, the back end was just

392
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 8: as good. You know, we're connected on guys, we've got

393
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 8: color on color, we're winning our leverage.

394
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: It goes together.

395
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 8: So that was a point emphasis because we haven't done

396
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 8: a great job on third down. It's not a winning

397
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 8: stat to me, but you got to play well on

398
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 8: third down to get the ball back to the offense,

399
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 8: and they did that today.

400
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 4: You mentioned the kleboyams forces a defense to play a

401
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 4: little differently. How much did you dial up stuff just

402
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 4: for the sake of showing different looks today?

403
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought Nick did a really good job. You know,

404
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 8: we put a lot on those guys plate mentally to

405
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 8: show one thing, do something, show the same thing, Do

406
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 8: something else, you know, show something else, do two things,

407
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 8: three things out of it. And I thought, he just

408
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 8: you know, he, I think we made him kind of

409
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 8: hold it a little bit in a rush, was able

410
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 8: to you know, come alive a little bit. And again

411
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 8: the ball wasn't getting pumped out super fast because we

412
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 8: got color on color and you know, I thought we

413
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 8: pressured them, well, we rushed them well today.

414
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a stat in the first half the

415
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 4: Cardinals had twelve different players generate a pressure and that's

416
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 4: the most by any team in the first half in

417
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: two years. Let me ask you about early fourth quarter though,

418
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: fourth and ten by Chicago and the Cardinals blitz. I

419
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: don't know me how many guys came through the A

420
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: and B gaps and then Zavin got the sack. Well,

421
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 4: what was it about that call? And was that just

422
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 4: going for broke at that moment?

423
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: No, it was you know, it was the right call

424
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: at that moment.

425
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 8: You know, I thought that was a good, good job

426
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 8: by Nick and the players executed. That was a huge

427
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 8: play in the game. And you know that was kind

428
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 8: of started where then kind of wearing the driver's seat

429
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 8: and play and you know, on offense kind of run

430
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 8: our pass defense kind of get it into known pass there.

431
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: You know, that was that was good.

432
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 4: What can you say about your defensive coordinator new Dad

433
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: and the.

434
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 8: Way second boy already already bird this morning. Yeah, game

435
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 8: of game ball? He was, he was really good today.

436
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 8: I gave Jeff Rogers a game ball. I thought fourth

437
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 8: down was fantastic today. I mean, and everybody involved in it,

438
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 8: from Dorsch to you know, Blake, to Brewer, to Chad

439
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 8: to Joey Blunt, to the guy's blocking, to the guys

440
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 8: covering kicks. I thought a lot of guys stepped up.

441
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 8: Four Donalds lights out one of the huge reasons we

442
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 8: won the game.

443
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna ask about special teams. I mean

444
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 4: asked about this on side punt. Did we see an

445
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: on side punt?

446
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

447
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: We did, and you had a butN you basically had

448
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 4: the hands team guys who could fill the punt.

449
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean there's two ways.

450
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 8: There's a couple of different ways you can go when

451
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 8: they declare that and uh we work on that. They're

452
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 8: they're well trained and they did a good job executing

453
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 8: it quickly.

454
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 4: On your cornerbacks. How much you asking of those corners?

455
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: You're asking him to play on an island quite a bit,

456
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 4: aren't you.

457
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

458
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 8: I mean at times we like to get I you know,

459
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 8: I thought, you know, Sean couldn't go today. He tried

460
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 8: to go, he couldn't go ad a little bit of

461
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 8: a neck. And I thought Starr and Max played extremely well.

462
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 8: Garrett Williams played well. The safeties obviously played well. That

463
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 8: back end played really well today.

464
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 4: You told us this week the identity of the offense

465
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: is we're gonna try and be what we need to

466
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: be to win the game. Was that today? The run game,

467
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 4: the runner you got going.

468
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 8: You know, we thought we could coming into the game.

469
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 8: We thought we could run in. That's a good run

470
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 8: defense too. We thought we could run it a little

471
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 8: bit and generate some movement. And I thought our O

472
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 8: line was really good anytime he run for over two

473
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 8: hundred yards of oh lions whooping ass, you know. And

474
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 8: then I thought all the backs played well, you know.

475
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 8: Obviously James was really good. I thought Omari had some

476
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 8: good runs in there. Obviously the touchdown. I thought Trey

477
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: Benson was violent and fast, decisive. Today they were all

478
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 8: really good. DJ came in got the last carry.

479
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: It was good.

480
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 4: How pivotal was the Amari fifty three our touchdown run? Huge?

481
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're trying to get a field goal out of

482
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 8: that and he and he popped it. I thought that

483
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 8: was actually a play call by Drew, you know what

484
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 8: they were playing, what they were showing there, and then

485
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 8: we popped the run and he stepped on the gas

486
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 8: there and scored es huge play.

487
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: How about the handoff to Trey McBride. How long have

488
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 4: you guys been working on that one?

489
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: That's been cooking for a little bit.

490
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 4: Good execution there, first tight end touchdown run since nineteen

491
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 4: sixty eight. By the way, that was a heck of

492
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 4: a stat What was it like to compete against your mentor?

493
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I saw him before the game. It was

494
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 8: great to see him. You know, he'll get his team

495
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 8: ready to go next week.

496
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 4: And coach third straight win by this team. A couple

497
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: about a month ago, you said we're seeking consistency. What

498
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: has been the formula?

499
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, just day to day, man, make every second count,

500
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 8: you know, keep the blinders on. Maximize the day, Maximize

501
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 8: the period we're in, whether it's lifting, meeting, you know,

502
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 8: on the practice field and walk through. You know, the

503
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 8: leadership in the locker room's doing a really good job

504
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 8: of making sure that everyone's focused, staying connected and getting

505
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 8: done what they need to get done to set our

506
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 8: just to give ourselves a chance to win. But I

507
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 8: think we're earning wins right now because of the week.

508
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: Would you call this last question the most complete win

509
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 4: by the Cardinals this year?

510
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

511
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 8: I you know, I always going to want more, but

512
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 8: you know, we did what we need to do all

513
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 8: three phases a day to win a game.

514
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 2: So that's good to see. But we'll be back at

515
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: it tomorrow.

516
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 8: Man.

517
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks, guys, thank you, be safe. There you go,

518
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 4: Jonathan inning guys.

519
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: And by the way, the Rams are leading the Seahawks

520
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 3: for two minutes to go twenty to thirteen, So if

521
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: that holds up, the Cardinals will be alone in first

522
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: place at five and four San Francisco idle four and four.

523
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 3: Seattle would go to four and five, and the Rams

524
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 3: would go to four and four. It just feels like

525
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: this is going to come down to the end. And

526
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, by the way, are off to a good

527
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: start in the division. They have wins over the Rams

528
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: and Niners already. They have a stretch where they play

529
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: Seattle twice in three weeks, and then they finished the

530
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: year at the Rams home against San Francisco. Well, final

531
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 3: thoughts on what we witnessed today and then what's ahead

532
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 3: next Sunday.

533
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know. Once again, I just love the fact

534
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 5: that they won a game in a different way than

535
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 5: they beat the Miami Dolphins, and they're capable of winning

536
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 5: games in different ways, and I really like that. That

537
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 5: is my biggest takeaway right now, David, looking ahead, I'm

538
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 5: getting greedy right now. If you would have told me

539
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 5: at the beginning of the season the Arizona Cardinals would

540
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 5: have been six and four going into the bye I

541
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: would have said, David, you are a mad mad That's

542
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 5: exactly what they could be looking at going into the bye.

543
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 5: Am I getting greedy?

544
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 4: Here?

545
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 5: It is that the day has not even passed where

546
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 5: they've beat the Chicago Bears. Am I getting greedy with

547
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 5: the New York Jets. You better believe than I am.

548
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: At the midway point, the Cardinals are five and four

549
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 3: with eight games to play. We'll see you next Sunday

550
