WHOA, 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: here's Craig grielou. So. Wednesday marked the final open practice 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: of training camp. Friday marks the first preseason game, and 15 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: then Wednesday, November ninth marks the season debut of Hard Knocks, 16 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: featuring your Arizona Cardinals and Danny, you actually have experience 17 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: with Hard Knocks. I do not, so I'm looking forward 18 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: to how this all plays out in season. Nuts training camp, 19 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: but you do have experience, very little experience, but it's 20 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: still more than I do. That is true last year 21 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: when The Hard Knocks was covering the Dallas Cowboys throughout 22 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: the preseason and training camp, when I was still employed there, 23 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: I had a cameo in the drone shot that went 24 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: over that was the Star that went not because of me, 25 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: but yes, coincidentally, I wasn't mentioned. I was just going 26 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: to look go with them player. It's just it's funny 27 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: how it happened. I don't have a lot of experience 28 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: with Hard Knocks because Cowboys spend most of their training 29 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: camp out in Oxnard, California, where I was not, So 30 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: that's kind of how I ended up in the shot 31 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: to be in with was Hard Knocks. A few of 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: their their staff, their production crew came back to the 33 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: Star and Frisco ahead of the Cowboys so they could 34 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: get some shots ready to go of the team arriving. 35 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: So they had reached out to someone in our department 36 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: saying can we get a like a fake reporter and 37 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: they were well. Then they responded said, well, we have 38 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: a real reporter here. So I remember I woke up, 39 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: Oh it was so early, like I had like five 40 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: in the morning how to be there and did the 41 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: shot a handful of times. It was super cool to 42 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: be a part of. So we'll see. I'm not sure 43 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: that how much of a role I'll be playing. Seems 44 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: like there will be plenty to focus on with the 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: team itself when Hard Knocks gets here, so I'm not 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: expecting to have any cameos. The series will begin following 47 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: Week nine, so that's against the Seahawks, and then each Wednesday, 48 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: with the exception of December seventh, which is after the 49 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: team's bye week. But this is the second straight year 50 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: HBO and NFL films have kind of embedded themselves in 51 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: season with the team. Last year was Indianapolis Cols. Cardinals 52 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: do have experience with an in season production All or 53 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: Nothing back in twenty fifteen, but that was released at 54 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: the end in the offseason, so and really there were 55 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people and this was before I was 56 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: a part officially a part of the Arizona Cardinals, but 57 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: there were a lot of people that we're not aware 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: that this was going on at the time. We will 59 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: know what is going on, and there will be things 60 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: that we see and here that maybe we don't know 61 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: about and have to wait until we see it on television. 62 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: But I am fascinated that it's in season versus training camp, 63 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: because that's a different animal, especially because training camp, the 64 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: starters pretty much know who they are. It's the younger 65 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: players battling and roster cuts. Season. Now that's when everyone 66 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: has there. It's really dialed up because that's their livelihood. 67 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: Sundays is their livelihood. And now that they're gonna be cameras, 68 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: meeting rooms, maybe go pros, how in depth, how behind 69 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: the scenes are we going to get for a lot 70 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: of this stuff, I'm looking forward to it. That's the 71 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: biggest difference is training camp, all you're talking about is yourself. 72 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: You're looking at film from practices these preseason games. But 73 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: during the season, you're obviously in those meeting rooms talking 74 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: about players, and you know that you're going to big 75 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: name players you're going up against in specific teams. And 76 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: I think that's why some players are not very excited 77 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: about having cameras everywhere in the building. I know offensive 78 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: lineman Calvin Beecham has been very vocal as one of 79 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: those players is not very excited. He's joked when I've 80 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: talked to him about and said, how would you feel 81 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: if there's a camera that followed you around all day 82 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: your job? And in my head, I'm thinking it is 83 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: pretty similar to the job that I do. But I 84 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: do get his point of being candid and constantly having 85 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: those eyes on you, and suddenly the parts of the 86 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: building that felt very safe and private will not totally 87 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: be safe and private. So they're going to have to 88 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: think about what they're going to say before they say it, 89 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: and all kinds of things. So I definitely see that perspective, 90 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: but I am very excited because Hard Knock though such 91 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: a great job with their access and telling great stories. 92 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I didn't watch any of the Colts 93 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: in season last year. I feel like it was it 94 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: was just so much football, So I should probably should 95 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: go back in and watch some of those episodes to 96 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: get an idea of what's going to be going on. 97 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: I do like Hard Knocks when they do it during 98 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: training camp in the preseason, but I didn't watch the 99 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 1: Colts last year. I watched one episode. Oh, let me 100 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: guess which episode. You're going to know exactly which episode? 101 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: Did it happen around a major holiday? It? Did it happened? 102 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: Did it happen at State Farm Stadium. Yes it did, 103 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: because the Cardinals hosted the Colts. Colts won that game. 104 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: I did watch that episode on Christmas. On Christmas just 105 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: to kind of see from a Cardinals perspective, which was 106 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: a wrong way to watch it because you weren't going 107 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: to get anything but just to see what was said 108 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: or done. But that was the high point of an season, 109 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: and then the low point how that year ended for 110 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: the Colts losing to the Jaguars and seeing that in 111 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: the locker room and the raw emotion of that defeat 112 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 1: that costs Indianapolis a playoff spot. So you're walking into 113 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: this talking about the Arizona Cardinals. So yeah, you can 114 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: have the roller coaster effect, but you certainly hope based 115 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: off of when this is happening. The last two years, 116 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: the end of the season has not gone well for 117 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, and this is when now the cameras 118 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: will be rolling and there's a school thought Kingsbury has 119 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: brought it up that maybe this will maybe get everyone's 120 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: attention and be a little bit more focused on finishing 121 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: strong because we know how the season has started, but 122 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: now the cameras aren't going to join you until well, 123 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: a year ago you would have been seven and two 124 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: or seven and oh it's an intend and two, so 125 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: that I don't know. It's an interesting experiment from that standpoint. 126 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: But how in gauge these players, Well, maybe someone will 127 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: just forget the cameras are there and go about their 128 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: everyday life as if it was not being filmed. I 129 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: can't imagine any of the players or coaches will use 130 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: the very little free time they have during the season 131 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: to watch Hard Knocks like the episodes about them. But 132 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: I am interested to see if any of them will. 133 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: I mean, do you think any players are gonna watch 134 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: during the season. There's no way. It will be difficult. 135 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: You're right, But they're going to get asked about it 136 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: because we're going to ask. Maybe that's maybe that's the 137 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: reason not to watch, that they don't have an answer 138 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: when we ask. Now, typically, as we kind of peel 139 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: the curtain back here on Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday, 140 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: probably a partner of the Arizona Cardinals. If this airs 141 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: on Wednesday night, then all right. Typically Kingsbury speaks Wednesday 142 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: and Friday. But Vance Joseph over the last several years 143 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: has spoken on Thursday. He is going to be the 144 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: first coach that gets asked, Hey, last night, X, Y 145 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: and Z happened or whomever. What player is interviewed on 146 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: that Thursday, Hey, last night this was shown to get 147 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: their reaction. So whether they watch it or not, they're 148 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: gonna get asked about it. So you have to prepare 149 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: and the media relations department does a great job. So 150 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: these players aren't going to be surprised. Man Joseph has 151 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: been around the league for a long long time. He's 152 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: not going to be surprised by anything he gets asked. 153 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: But it's not like I didn't watch it and that's 154 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: the end of it now, Because something that's going to happen, 155 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: then it becomes the next day, and then the next day, 156 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: and this is gonna be the entire second half of 157 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 1: the season. I'm excited though. I think it's gonna be 158 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: cool to see. I'm going to keep an eye out 159 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: for you Craig making any cameos. Yeah, I'm like, I 160 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: know him. Yeah, probably no cameos for me. But this 161 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: does lead us into a discussion on what's going on 162 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: and this current Hard Knocks training camp the Detroit Lions 163 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: are having theirs and that is finally debuted and it 164 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: brought up, or it came to a discussion with Kingsbury 165 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: earlier on Wednesday that the rookie performances that every team does, 166 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: and there was a specific rookie performance that Kingsbury brought up, 167 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: and it was Manny Jones, undrafted rookie defensive lineman out 168 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: of Colorado State, teammates with Trey McBride. But Manny Jones, 169 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: according to the head coach, did an impersonation of Kyler Murray, 170 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: your franchise quarterback, and got some rave reviews. There is 171 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: film of this. I have not seen it. I hope 172 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: to see it at some point. Kingsbury jokes said, oh, 173 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: it's in house. Well, Danny, you and I are. We're 174 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: in house. I think maybe not football ops in house, 175 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: but there's got to be a way we can get 176 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: our hands on this video just to see what Manny 177 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: was able to do. I would love to see the video. 178 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: I have not seen it. I can't attest that that 179 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: is what happened because when I was at the w 180 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: the resort where the team is staying, I was working 181 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: out at this long table where we eat meals and 182 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: it's outside a lot of the meeting rooms, and I 183 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: was working on a video and the whole team is 184 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: in this ballroom and the sound proof is great because 185 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: we really can't hear anything out there unless everyone is 186 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: really clapping or cheering. And so a group of us 187 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: are working out on this at this table and we 188 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: see Manny come out and he takes off his Jackie's 189 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: wearing a shirt he's gone on like these gray sweatpants. 190 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: He you know, puts the dew rag on his head, 191 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: and but where's it the way Kyler does? Where it's 192 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: you know, the straps are just hanging low, and we're 193 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: kind of laughing, like is he supposed to be Kyler? 194 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: And then he walks in and it's just an uproar 195 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: of every like you that you can actually hear through 196 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: the doors being shut. So it did look pretty spot 197 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: on for Kyler Murray. Manny Jones is a little bigger built. 198 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: I will say that's probably the only difference. But I'm 199 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: sure the video was great because it looked funny at 200 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: least from the little bit that we got to see. 201 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: Manny Jones six four two ninety Kyler Murray five two 202 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: o seven A little difference, so a little different, but 203 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: you had the firsthand accounts of what trying to paint 204 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: the picture of what Manny looked like. Now. AJ Green 205 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: gave Jones an a trace. McSorley Steven Anderson gave Jones 206 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: a seven out of ten sod I'm impressed. And the 207 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: most important aspects and AJ shared this with us, is 208 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: that Kyler thought it was funny. He enjoyed it. He 209 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: was smiling, laughing because AJ said, yeah, they were a 210 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: little nervous because everyone was looking back. What's Kyler going 211 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: to think about this? What's his reaction going to be? 212 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: But all in good fun. A quarterback laughed it up. So, hey, 213 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: that's that's difficult. I mean, if you perform in front 214 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: of a group however large. But now you've got an 215 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: undrafted rookie player trying to make this fifty three man roster. 216 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: And whether it was his idea or not, probably not. 217 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure someone maybe JJ Watt I just just to guess, 218 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: a wild guest said hey, do this, and he was committed. 219 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: According to the head coach as but I need to 220 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: get this video. I need to see it. You actually, 221 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: more than anyone actually kind of saw the behind the 222 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: scenes before the performance. Yes, okay, I don't have video. 223 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: Just gotta take my word for it. Oh, I take 224 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: your word for it. I believe everything that comes out 225 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: of your mouth here on. I would not recommend partner 226 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals as we continue. As we said, 227 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: this was the final open practice here On Wednesday. Next week, 228 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: all closed the media ahead of the Baltimore Ravens game 229 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: nationally televised. But before that game this Friday in Cincinnati 230 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: for thirty kickoff twelve thirty. Pre game coverage begins on 231 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals radio network. We've all talked about the 232 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: depth chart, who is and who's not going to play. 233 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: I'll say this, Kingsbury did mention that Dennis Gardeck, Zavian Collins, 234 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: and Marco Wilson will play. Those are among the handful 235 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: of defensive starters that we'll see reps. But for most 236 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: of that game on Friday, you're gonna see a lot 237 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: of backups, guys fighting for roster positions, roster spots and 238 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: get some good work in and a lot of the 239 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: focus because Kyler's not going to play, McCoy is not 240 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: going to play. But looking at the quarterback, everyone's eyes 241 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: always focus on the quarterback, and there has been this, 242 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, Murmur, a little bit of a buzz 243 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: amongst us on the sidelines as far as one does 244 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: this team keep three quarterbacks as they have and is 245 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,359 Speaker 1: there a possibility that that third quarterback is Jared Garantano, 246 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: who was a rookie tryout and signed as the fourth 247 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: quarterback to supplant Trace McSorley. I think you have to 248 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: keep three quarterbacks, especially after learning that Colt McCoy has 249 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: been dealing with some arm soreness in his throwing arm. 250 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: I think you have to at this point expect to 251 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: carry three quarterbacks the active roster until, yes, until you 252 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: get a better idea of his arm might be totally 253 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: fine within the next month before the season opener. Who knows, 254 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: but I think at this point you should have the 255 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: mindset of wanting to carry three quarterbacks on the active roster. 256 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: It seems not a given because you know they're both 257 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: here for a reason. But doesn't it kind of feel 258 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: like this is Trace mcsorley's spot to lose. I would 259 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: think so, just based off of his experience within the offense. 260 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: This is his first full offseason and first full training camp. 261 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: With the Cardinals, but his ability knowledge of the offense. 262 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: I'll say this, and Kingsbury has been praising McSorley as 263 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: far as not only his ability, but just knowledge of 264 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: the offense. And he does have good size at six 265 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: feet two o two, so he's a little bit bigger 266 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: than a Kyler Murray. But Guarantano I think has a 267 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: stronger arm. The ball seems to come out of his 268 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: hand a little bit quicker than McSorley, And there's where 269 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: the edge would be as far as just skill set 270 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: quarterback to quarterback. But that's the only part of this story. 271 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: Knowledge of the offense. Can you get rid of the 272 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: ball quickly? Can you scan that defense, make the proper read, 273 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: the proper adjustment and get the ball to your pass catchers. 274 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: That I think will be on display obviously this week 275 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: and then over the next two preseason games. How much 276 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: of a competition can there be or is there? This 277 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: could be a stretch, but I wonder if cult McCoy's 278 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: contract extension was one year he signed in this offseason, correct, correct? 279 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: And I wonder if how much of their decision is 280 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: going to be well, he's signed for this year and 281 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: next year and next year. Even still, I wonder if 282 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: it's too sooner, if the decision is also going to 283 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: be based upon after those two years, if Colt McCoy 284 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: decides it's time to hang up the cleats, could one 285 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: of these two quarterbacks, Guarantanna or McSorley be that next 286 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: true backup quarterback to Kyler Murray. I don't know, maybe 287 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: it's too soon, Maybe that's not what's on their mind, 288 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: and it's just we need a third quarterback on the roster. 289 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: And after they get through these three preseason games, which 290 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: of the two quarterbacks do they feel will handle could 291 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: handle that role better if they are putting that situation 292 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: to go out and playing a game. But I wonder 293 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: if maybe that's part of the thought process of not 294 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: even just who might be better right now, but the 295 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: potential and who you can mold into what you want 296 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: as a backup quarterback. Guarantano at times has looked a 297 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: little bit better to me anyway, and again that's not 298 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: watching every single rep of every single practice, but he 299 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: has had more of the wild moments. Earlier on Wednesday, 300 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: he threw a nice over the shoulder pass to eight 301 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: men near the sideline, and then of course later on 302 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: during eleven on eleven he was picked off by Ben Neeman. 303 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: So it's kind of those it's that roller coaster, you know, 304 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: a couple positives, but then there's a negative as well. 305 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: But it's just the way that ball leaves his hand 306 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: and you need to be able to throw that You 307 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: need to be able to get that ball out quick. 308 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: You don't have time to stand in the pocket. I 309 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: think both of those quarterbacks at times during teamwork hang 310 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: onto that football longer than they should. And this was 311 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: a real game, it would have been a sack or 312 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: they're throwing the ball away. I'd agree with you from 313 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: what I've seen at practice as well. And that's what's 314 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: going to be great about these preseason games is knowing 315 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: it's these two quarterbacks going to be getting the snap. 316 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: So we'll see, you know, how much that translates from 317 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: the field onto the game and get a better look 318 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: between these two different quarterbacks, because that's all we're going 319 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: to see. And again, it's a conversation here in August. 320 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: We better not. Let's hope we're not having this conversation 321 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: in September or at any point in the regular season. 322 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray doesn't get hurt. Colton McCoy doesn't get hurt. 323 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: You don't want to have to go down to your 324 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: third string quarterback. The Cardinals have had two in their history, 325 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: and it's never good. It's never good for any team, 326 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: Danny to be playing with a third string quarterback or 327 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: your third quarterback that particular season. It derails everything. I 328 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: do have an exception, and I'm probably gonna bringing this 329 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: up for everybody listening because it'll be the second time 330 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: bringing this up. I was just gonna say Dak Prescott 331 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: with Tony Romo's back, and then Kellen Moore I think 332 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: it was a leg or an ankle he broke, and 333 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: then it was Dak Prescott as a rookie in the 334 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: preseason and he got the job and he kept it. 335 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: But I do understand your point if you never want 336 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: to go to a third string quarterback. And I'm not 337 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: disagreeing with that, and I'm just going to make that clear, 338 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: but that is an example. Okay, flashback to that moment 339 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: and your emotions when you see your starter. You're not 340 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: excited exactly that the fan base throws everything, not the 341 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: window seasons done. That's the immediate reaction with anytime the 342 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: quarterback goes down, you learn that it's seas season's over 343 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: and you're bringing a backup. Yeah, there have been backup 344 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that have won super Bowls, but it's that rarity. 345 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: It's not the norm. It's the exception, and it happened. Sure, 346 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: anything can happen, but it typically doesn't happen when you're 347 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: down to your third string quarterback. It's just you don't 348 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: want to so but a lot of the younger players 349 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: on the field, and a lot of the draft picks 350 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: are going to get spotlighted. Christian Matthew, the late round cornerback, 351 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: was someone that Kingsbury singled out mentioned that he wanted 352 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: to see him in live action. And now that's the 353 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: next step. Because it's one thing to do it on 354 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: the practice field in a controlled environment. Now all of 355 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: a sudden, you've got, however, many thousands of people. My 356 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: j Sanders mentioned that earlier this week that he's going 357 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: to play in front of more people on Friday than 358 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: he probably has ever had in his career. And now 359 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: the lights are on. It's not nationally televised, but everyone 360 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: can see it eventually on NFL network. How do you 361 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: respond as a young player that your first or second 362 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: year in the league, when all of a sudden, it's like, okay, 363 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: I need to perform otherwise I'm on my way out 364 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: the door. This is crunch time. Teams are about to 365 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: start making cuts. You can have great performances at OTA's 366 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: mini camp training camp, but you're right if you can't 367 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: show up and show out when the lights are on, 368 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: they're not going to keep you just to keep you 369 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: because they liked you in practice. So this is crunch 370 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: time for players to perform well in these preseason games. 371 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: Take advantage of the reps that you're getting because teams 372 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: are going to start making cuts. Well, the first cuts 373 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: happened next Tuesday. You get down to eighty five, so 374 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: you got to eliminate five players by next Tuesday of 375 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: the sixteen. So this is this is when it becomes real, 376 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: when all of a sudden, you might get that tap 377 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: on the shoulder and say so and so wants to 378 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: see you. Bring your iPad. Bring your iPad. Yeah, So 379 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: that's that's what we're at here in training camp. It's 380 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: week three. Any players that you're going to be focused 381 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: on that you like to see you that it has 382 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: stood out in practice, like all right now, I'll take 383 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: that next step. You know, of course I want to 384 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: see the how Maj Sanders performs. That's a big when 385 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: you're looking at outside linebackers, pass rushers, a big area 386 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people have their eye on when looking 387 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: at this defense. I'm intrigued by the running back Counte Ingram, 388 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: the rookie, So I think just because there's so many 389 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: running backs right now in that room, that decisions are 390 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: going to have to be made. So you know, when 391 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: you look at him or Jonathan Ward, who has been 392 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: really great on special teams before you know, you have 393 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: a room with Eno Benjamin Behind, Darry Williams and James Conright, 394 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: there's there's going to have to be decisions made in 395 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: that room. So I'm excited to see counta Ingram out there. 396 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: How many do you keep? Do you dare keep five? 397 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: Can you affourd to keep five? At it's got to 398 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: be four? And then a practice squad, which is risky 399 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,239 Speaker 1: to be get. You know, players on practice squad are 400 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: not always secure from other teams, So I don't know 401 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: something he's gone to Ingram. I'm gonna stick with that 402 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: on a player I'm interested. And I was talking with 403 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: someone on the sideline from the personnel departments about, hey, 404 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: give me someone that we're not talking enough about, and 405 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: they mentioned Lucida Smith, who has never played center in 406 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: his entire life, and all of a sudden, you get 407 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: to the highest league in the world, you're playing center. 408 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: And I asked, all right, play center. How's this snaps? 409 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: Because it's one thing to play center, but here it's 410 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: not just snapping into the quarterback. You're you're in shotgun 411 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: about ninety five percent of the time. And I was 412 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: told they're decent, and I'd even kind of paid attention 413 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier on Wednesday, and at times the 414 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: ball just seemed to float backwards as opposed to a 415 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: real crisp snap. So if Lucida Smith can learn that, 416 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: and this is not being critical at all, I mean 417 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: he is literally never played the position and is doing 418 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: it here for the first time. But if he can 419 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: be that third string behind is Sean Harlowe, because you 420 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: don't know about Rodney Hudson. He was banged up last season. Yeah, 421 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: he's under contract for twenty twenty three, but he contemplated 422 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: retirement this past offseason, so you're not quite sure. Is 423 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: Lucida Smith a draft pick. Can you work him in 424 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: to become a center and maybe a viable center in 425 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: the future. Lucia Smith and the other rookie offensive lineman, 426 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: Marquis Hayes, have received a lot of praise from their 427 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: veteran offensive lineman and the coaching staff. So that's another 428 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: great spot to keep your eye on. In the preseason 429 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: games harder to keep an eye on, especially if you're 430 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: not in attendance watching the offensive line or defensive line 431 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: on television, and that's where I'm at this weekend. It's 432 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult because you kind of have 433 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: to watch whatever the camera is focused right, right, Absolutely, 434 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: So there are several starters that will not be in attendance. 435 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: There's one more as well. Danny is going to be 436 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: a starter on the eighteam Crash. Yes, you're a starter. Yeah. 437 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: You can also rule out Danny Serek as part of 438 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: the broadcast, either here in Arizona or there in Cincinnati. 439 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: Missing game unfortunately, Yes, I do have to miss the 440 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: first preseason game. It is for a good reason. I'm 441 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: always there are always good reasons. I'm in a wedding 442 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: a college friend of sorority sister of mine, so I 443 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: did book the flight many many many months ago for 444 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: very early Friday morning, trying to manifest a Thursday preseason game. Unfortunately, 445 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: that is not the way the carts fell. So I 446 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: will not be in attendance for this first preseason game. 447 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: I will be there in spirit, and then I will 448 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: be there for the other two. By the way, who 449 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: books a fall wedding during football season? People who don't 450 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: work in sports. My brother did it when he got married, 451 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: and I was like, what are you doing? You? It's 452 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: just it's just not smart. Think of everyone else that 453 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: you're inviting to this wedding that has to miss either 454 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: a Saturday college game or a Sunday NFL game. I 455 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: will be sure to let my friend the bride, let 456 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: let her know your sentiments on that crack, and I'll 457 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: keep you posting on what she says. All right, before 458 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: we let Danny go pack for her big trip this weekend, 459 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: let's promote something here on Cardinals cover two presented by 460 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,959 Speaker 1: Hunday probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. You're I wouldn't 461 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: say weekly, but regularly scheduled, and I think weekly during 462 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: the regular season, right sideline exchange that is happening as 463 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: well here in training camping. He had a chance to 464 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: stop who earlier on Wednesday, Wide receiver Rondel Moore. Yeah, 465 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: I've been trying to get him. He kept he just 466 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: kept trying to say, oh no, no, no, do you know, 467 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: we'll push it off, We'll push it off. But thankfully 468 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: I forced him to do it. No, he was great. 469 00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: He's always growing those interviews. Was it worthwhile? Yes, so 470 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: go check it out on our website, YouTube channel. It'll 471 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: be on our social media channels as well. And I 472 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: can't remember game on defeat. He's the only one that 473 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: I did not bring that up, But thank you for that, Craig. 474 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: Game on a series that we started in the offseason 475 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: where I play kid games and get to know the 476 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: players as people not just football players. And I beat 477 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: ride receiver ranch On Wesley and lawn bowling, I beat 478 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: tight end Trey McBride and cornhole. We've got I'm not 479 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: going to say how it ends. We've got rookie My J. Sanders. 480 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: We've got an episode. We played bocce ball. That one 481 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: will come out soon. Over the very first episode, mini 482 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: basketball against Rondelmore, and he gave me my only loss 483 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: up until this point. I'm not gonna say how my 484 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: jay ends. But at least through those three between Tweezy, 485 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: Trey McBride, and Rondelmore, Rondale handed me my only loss. 486 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: And he likes to remind me that I've told you privately, 487 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: I'll tell you publicly. Better be careful and how many 488 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: times you win these games, because it might reduce the 489 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: number of players who want to compete with you in 490 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: said games. I'm not going to go easy on them 491 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: just because they're professional athletes. Crag. Okay, at least Rondel 492 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: Moore didn't lose. That's good.
