Here, Queen go, This is it 10 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: hot by Kurt At the twenty At the ten touchdown, 11 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: Oh babyfield, Here's Craig Griolou, Mike Jarecki, and three time 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: pro bowler Kyle Van Deenbosch. Yes it was the preseason, 13 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: and yes preseason doesn't counts, but as we've said, preseason 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: does matter, and so does simple execution winning your one 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: on one matchups. Didn't see a whole heck of a 16 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: lot of that last Friday nights as the Cardinals lost 17 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: their preseason game to the Kansas City Chiefs seventeen to 18 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: ten in front of a nationally televised audience. It was 19 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: not good. There was some good that we can discuss, gentlemen. 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: But I know, Kyle on the postgame show immediately Cardinal talk, 21 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,279 Speaker 1: it was very simple for you. Yes it does not matter, 22 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: but it's got to look a lot better than what 23 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: we saw, especially from the offensive side. Yeah, you know, 24 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: the excuse of they try to keep it vanilla. They 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: weren't trying to show much. That doesn't really matter. I mean, 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: you you should be able to execute basic plays. You 27 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: should be able to run, you know, with the personnel 28 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: we have on offense, you should be able to run 29 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: simple plays and execute simple plays and keep the chains 30 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: moving and at least you know, the concerning thing to 31 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: me is, you know, this is probably the only dress 32 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: rehearsal that sumless starters will get in the preseason, including 33 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. You know, there's still issues with communication on 34 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: offense and defense. We talked a little bit post game 35 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: about the sack differential in the preseason about how we've 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: given them nine sacks and we've gotten zero. And just 37 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: from what I've seen, it's not just on the offensive line. 38 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: They've got some issues with blitz pickup and that comes 39 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: from running backs in the protection, it comes from quarterbacks 40 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: understanding the blitz is coming and hitting the hot route. 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: There's other sloppy things like, um, you know, just miss 42 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: tackles and two minute time management, players not getting out 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 1: of bounds and stopping the clock. Things like that that 44 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully at this point in the preseason, you 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: know you're starting to get a good handle on some 46 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: of those things. Yeah, we know, Kylo's made it very 47 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: clear that he doesn't like the preseason. But for any 48 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: guy to go out there and compete against a really 49 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: good Chiefs defense, I mean, that would have been a 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: nice little tune up. I mean, you look at what 51 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: Jami's Winston did, you know, nine for ten, one hundred 52 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: and twenty three yards. That's what I wanted to see, 53 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: a nice drive down the field. Now that you know 54 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: they did have some miscues, I mean, I want the 55 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk play wasn't as easy as made him making 56 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: a drop. I think, as you pointed out, Kyler probably 57 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: needs to throw a little bit quicker. They had a 58 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: miscommunication on the over the middle play with Rondel Moore 59 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: James Conner. There was there was some lane to run through, 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: and you know he obviously made a business decision and 61 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: again I understand it. They're want to get hurt. But 62 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: when you're on the field and you can compete against 63 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: an opponent, that's what you like to see. Do you 64 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: like to see what we've seen now for two games, 65 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: and that is more play of Zavan Collins and Isaiah 66 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Simmons on the field together. Saw a lot more of 67 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: those two, specifically in the first half again against a 68 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: very good Chiefs offense, and that to me is invaluable, Kyle, 69 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: because as you look towards week one, week two, the 70 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: start of the regular season, it's going to be here 71 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: before you know it's And don't know if either one 72 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: of those are going to see anytime this week. My 73 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: guesses I hope that they do. But that might have 74 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: been the biggest test, especially considering it is a Chiefs 75 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: offense as does a lot of different things and can 76 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: affect your eyes a lot. Yeah, they got a lot 77 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: of reps. I mean there was because of a product 78 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: of what the offense did in the first half. They 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: were out there a lot and it was good to 80 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: see them work through some things. You know, Azaiah Simmons 81 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: showed some good things in this game. He showed his 82 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: ability to cover, you know, not just running backs out 83 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: of the backfield or even one of the elite tight 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: ends in the league. He was covering McCole Hardeman on 85 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: at least two occasions, and he's one of the fastest 86 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: players in the NFL. And you know again, m Zaman 87 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: Collins played forty two snaps. I mean that's that's a 88 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: good number of snaps for a preseason game. And watching him, 89 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: he played all forty two snaps as hard as he could. 90 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you know what you have in him. He 91 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: is a hard nosed player that's going to give you 92 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: all he's got on the football field. There's obvious some 93 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: things he can fix and he can correct and technique 94 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: stuff he can get better at, but you know you're 95 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna get all he's got on every single play. Well, 96 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: what did the head coach see out of his two 97 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: young inside linebackers. Here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury. I thought 98 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: they took a step forward from week one, and that's 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: a early good offense. They create a lot of misdirection, 100 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: do different things to put p on space, and I 101 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: thought it was good for them to see that type 102 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: of speed, that type of tempo from one of the 103 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: best offenses in the league. And yeah, I guess the 104 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: biggest thing is they took a good step from week 105 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: one to week two. Both Collins and Simmons MJ each 106 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: had four tackles. But when you look at Collins as 107 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: the quarterback of that defense, there was a tackle for loss, 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: there was him going up the middle on a huge 109 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: collision on that third defensive series with Derrick McKinnon, and 110 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: then there was a mistackle on a screen pass to 111 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: the fullback. So again a lot of good, but then 112 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: for the coaching staff to go back and pinpoint, hey, 113 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: this is where you need to be better. We need 114 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: you over here. You can't do this and again teaching moments. Yeah, 115 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna hear from Zaven Collins here 116 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: coming up because he's critical himself over the game. Now, 117 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: as Kyle pointed out, I mean, this guy plays physical, 118 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: he's he's a downhill to make the tackles. So he 119 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: may not get there and he may overpursue at times, 120 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: but he's gonna slow the ball carrier down from that 121 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: stands point, So we know there's going to be growing pains. 122 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a surprise the three of 123 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: us here that we're probably gonna see Jordan Hicks, Collins, 124 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: and Simmons probably for the first couple of weeks of 125 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: the game the season, just based on you know, there's 126 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: going to be growing pains, and we know Jordan Hicks 127 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: knows the defense as much as you know a lot 128 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: of guys that over the last couple of years are 129 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: still learning it. But I gotta think that based on 130 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: Collins getting a ton of reps in the offseason and 131 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: as Kyle pointed out in the preseason, that can only 132 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: help him make the adjustment. All your reference to his 133 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: postgame comments this is on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network, 134 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: and Collins, certainly in a conversation with Paul calvc in 135 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: the locker room, believes that he can be and will 136 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: be a lot better personally. This too many tackles, had 137 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: a big miss play down in the middle. There's some 138 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: things that we got to clean up from a not 139 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: really a you know, a signment standpoint, but just kind 140 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: of a basic football standpoint like tackling, and I'm a 141 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: big part of that. We got to do better in 142 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 1: that aspect. High expectations that Collins has for himself, Colin, 143 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: I like to hear it, and at the same time, 144 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: you hope that everyone has that same attitude after a game, 145 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: and maybe you feel differently the next day or two 146 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: days later after you watch the film, but your immediate 147 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: reaction collins obviously, regardless if it was a win or 148 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: a loss. He understands that he can play a lot better. Yeah, 149 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: I really like to hear that from especially from a 150 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: young player. You know, regardless of how everybody feels about preseason, 151 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: regardless of how you feel about practice that you know 152 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: we talked about this, they matter. And you cannot just 153 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: let a practice go by and not get everything out 154 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: of it, and you can't stack back to back practices. 155 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: And you've got to, at least as a competitor, understand 156 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: the value of practice, the value of preseason games. And 157 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: if you don't feel like you played your best, then 158 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: it drives you to get back in there, get in 159 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: the film room, get out on the practice field, work 160 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: on your techniques and improve on those things. If you 161 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: just say doesn't matter, it wasn't a big deal. You know, 162 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: in the end, it's not going to count toward our 163 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: final record. It might not count toward your final record, 164 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: but it does count toward probably how you're going to 165 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: perform in the regular season. So it's good to hear 166 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: that from a young player. And you know, we talked 167 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: about how this was a good test based on the 168 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: personnel he was going against. It was also a good 169 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: test because there's probably no team in the league that 170 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: uses more shifts, more motions and takes advantage of spacing 171 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: and misdirection than the Kansas City Chiefs, and you did 172 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: see some of that in this preseason game. They did 173 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: game plan and they did use some of the things 174 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: in their offense that they're going to use in the 175 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: regular season. And for a young player, especially the guy 176 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: that's the signal caller, to be out there and recognize 177 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: these things, I mean specifically, I saw him there was 178 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: an end around that is designed to trick linebackers to overpursue. 179 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: He didn't. He stuck his foot in the ground and 180 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: he got in on you know, got it was a 181 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: part of that play. So it is there's a lot 182 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: of value to what I saw from him in this game. 183 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: Another young player I think who took every advantage of 184 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: the opportunities he was presented on Friday, mj and that 185 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: would be Victor D. Mucagee played fifty eight of seventy 186 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: seven offensive snaps, and a lot of that is because 187 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: there was no Chandler Jones, no Marcus Golden, although good 188 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: to see Golden at practice on Tuesday. But here's another 189 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: young outside linebacker Day three pick that twenty twenty one 190 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: rookie class that is hoping that they are have done 191 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: enough to be a part of that fifty three man squad. Yeah. 192 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: I mean I like his size, I like his energy. 193 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: Even if he doesn't make the play, he'll still run 194 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: down the field and try to make the tackle, even 195 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: though you know you don't want to see those big runs. 196 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: But you know, are they going to keep nine linebackers? 197 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about a three four defense. How 198 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: many you keep inside and outside? And you look at 199 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: Kylie Fitz and he's been a guy that's been on 200 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: the roster and so, I you know, it's a numbers game. 201 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: But I think when you look at his upside and 202 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: the fact that you know he does have a little 203 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: Marcus Golden in him, not saying they're gonna be the 204 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: same player of same energy, but I just like the 205 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: way he practices and to me it carries over to 206 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: what he's able to do in the preseason games, nothing 207 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: announced officially. In fact, head coach Cliff Kingsbury moments ago 208 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: asked about the offense and Kyler Murray and how much, 209 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: if at all, Kyler Murray would play this week in 210 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: the preseason finale against the Saints, and coach was non committal, 211 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: wasn't sure yet, but then added that he didn't think 212 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: Murray needed anymore or extra preseason reps. So based off 213 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: of that, it doesn't sound like we're going to see 214 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: Kyle Murray on Saturday. That's just what I take away. Now, 215 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: what should we take away based off those three off 216 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: It's a series that totaled minus one yard. Here's the 217 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: head coach post game with Paul Calvci, just an execute 218 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: like we could. I thought there are little things that 219 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: we weren't doing that we've been doing in practice and 220 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: we're able to connect and just got to keep working. 221 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: Does it create any extra urgency perhaps going into this week? 222 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: Can I use the word concern in the preseason or 223 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: is that a little too extreme for me? It's too extreme, 224 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: But anytime you come out and you don't play like 225 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: you know you're capable of, you definitely will look at 226 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: what you're doing and try to get better the next week. 227 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: Does a change anything you might do next week in 228 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: terms of reps for the ones they won't. We'll continue 229 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: on the plan we've had and let's just take a 230 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: week to week and see how we feel going into 231 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: the game week. I certainly understand the segments of the 232 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: fan base, Kyle, that wants to see this offense do 233 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: something with Kyler Murray, with DeAndre Hopkins, with AJ Green, 234 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: Chase Edmands the offensive line ahead of Week one, just 235 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: to give us a glimpse of what to expect, something good, 236 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: something to feel good about this team going into that 237 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: regular season opener at Tennessee. Yeah, it's a bit of 238 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: a tease, right, Like, you have all of these expectations 239 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: and hopes of what this offense could and should look like, 240 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: and to not get at least a glimpse of it, 241 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, prior to the opener. It's as a fan, 242 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, hope. It's something hard to hold onto. You 243 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: want some proof, you want some signs that, yes, this 244 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: is going to be a special team. All of these 245 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: offseason additions and the changes we made, these were the 246 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: right ones, and this is going to be a fun season, 247 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: and you know, it appears like we might just have 248 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: to wait and we might just have to take everybody's 249 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: word for it when they say, you know we're gonna 250 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: get it fixed. This wasn't us, and you know we're not. 251 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: We don't have these concerns that you know, most of 252 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: the fan base has right now. So it would be 253 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: nice to kind of get that taste out of your mouth, because, 254 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: you know, say what you want about everybody not enjoying 255 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: or not necessarily being invested in preseason. As far as fans, 256 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard, you know, if the starters don't 257 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: play this week and then to have no football the 258 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: following week, Um, you're gonna wish you had something to watch, 259 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: something to give you some hope. Yeah, you can always 260 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: go back and maybe revisit some of the game film 261 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: from twenty twenty as you get Pitty four, part part 262 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: of the first half of the season.

Just leave 289 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: it to JJ Watt to break the news. Remember it 290 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: was him that announced that he was joining the Arizona Cardinals. Then, 291 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: of course, Friday, on a sideline interview with ESPN, JJ 292 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: Watts said he would be back at practice on Monday 293 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: at coach Cliff Kingsbury postgame, and then again Monday before practice. Yes, 294 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: expect to see number ninety nine on the football field 295 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: on Monday, And that is exactly what we saw. MJ. 296 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: Was JJ Watts in practice during the open portion on Monday. Yeah, 297 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: And you know, I was thinking, once the team breaks 298 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: camp on Thursday and clearly he's not going to play. 299 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, you still got that bye week 300 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: before you were opener, and maybe that would be the time. 301 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: But this is earlier. Again, they were cautious the entire time. 302 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: That's what they told us. Initially he was only going 303 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: to do individual drills and then he jumped into team stuff. 304 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: And you know, he just provides a lot of energy 305 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: on the field, and I thought he had a great analogy. 306 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: I seen when he felt like he was a dog 307 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: chasing a tennis ball and just because he was excited 308 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: to be out there and you can just see, you know, 309 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: helping young guys when they come to the sideline. So 310 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: obviously we were waiting for this day and now birring 311 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: any setbacks and everything else. You know, he's looking forward 312 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: to a season. His first training can't practice, remember a 313 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: hamstring issue popped up during the run test, So he 314 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: has been sidelined since that date in late July. But 315 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: he's been out here Kyle and coaching from the sideline. 316 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: But to be in uniform and now kind of get dirty, 317 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: dirty if you will, and show these players, these young 318 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: defensive lineman what to expect, I think can only do 319 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: wonders for this team moving forward. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, 320 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: as a leader, it's hard to just tell guys how 321 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: to practice and to be on the sidelines and tell 322 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: guys to give max effort and practice and JJ Watt 323 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: he's legendary for how hard he practices and his work 324 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: ethic and the energy he brings to the team, and 325 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: that's hard to do from sideline. And now for him 326 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 1: to be back, I'm sure it provides a tremendous boost, 327 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: especially for some of the younger guys in this defensive 328 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: line to see, like, look, I'm I'm staring at a 329 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: future Hall of Famer. I want to see how he works. 330 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: I want to see how he approaches practice. I want 331 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: to see his mentality, you know, and not just in 332 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: games and not just in in team periods, but how 333 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: he approaches individual the time he puts in in the 334 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: film room, the time he puts in pre practice, post practice, 335 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: because that's what made JJ Watt the type of player 336 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: he is. Is just just that type of work and 337 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: for the younger guys to see it now, it will 338 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: just benefit them tremendously. You know. He mentioned Zach Allen 339 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: how you know, he's been a sponge just asking questions. 340 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: He's watching film from a couple of years ago, saying, well, 341 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: why did you do this? And he said, you know, 342 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: when Zack's in the weight room, he's trying to lift, 343 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: you know, so much as he can. But so Zach 344 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: definitely is. Yeah, I think he put on some twelve 345 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: pounds and I think his body fat went down. But 346 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: again and just to learn from that, and he said, 347 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones can recite every single sack he's had and 348 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: then you know, you get booted in the in the secondary. 349 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: So I think that's going to help Colins overall, just 350 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: having these layers of veteran guys. But for the most part, though, 351 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: you could see that, you know, between Lucky and Rashard 352 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: Lawrence and Lawrence's scheduled or practice fromorrow, he's missed a 353 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: lot of time. You just need to be a sponge 354 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: and watch what he does and you know, try to 355 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: pick his brain well. First practice in the books on Monday, 356 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: and then of course he was on the practice field 357 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: during the open portion on Tuesday as well. Post practice 358 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: on Monday, jj Watt explained what it was like to 359 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: be back with his teammates. Somebody just asked how it felt, 360 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: and I was like, you're like a dog chasing a 361 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: tennis ball. Wherever it bounces, you want to get it, 362 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,239 Speaker 1: and you're so excited to be out there, and like 363 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you're supposed to go where it bounces, 364 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: You're just going for it. Like, and that's what it 365 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: felt like today. You're just so excited to be out 366 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: there and excited to be playing with the guys, and 367 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. The other interesting aspect 368 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: of that press conference on Monday, Kyle was is this 369 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: idea that jj Watt doesn't need to be on the 370 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: field for every single snap. He played a lot last 371 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: season and that was because he had to. But the 372 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 1: idea that the Cardinals would like to limit his snap 373 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: count this season, and that's difficult for any player to hear. 374 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: But jj Watt understood it, called it beneficial. But more importantly, 375 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: he knows that there are guys behind him that are 376 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: just as capable. And I don't know, reading between the lines, 377 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: if he felt like that in Houston to where he 378 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: needed he felt he needed to be on the football 379 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: field more than maybe he should have been. Yeah, it's 380 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: tough as you get further along in your career, especially 381 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: when you've had years where you are you know, you're 382 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: like an iron man out there. You're out there, you 383 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: feel like you don't want to misreps. You feel like 384 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: if you come off the field, there's a letdown, there's 385 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: a step down in talent, there's a step down in intensity, 386 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: and and you feel like your team needs you out 387 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: there at all times. But you know, with a talent 388 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: that's been assembled, especially some of these younger draft picks 389 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: over the last few years and their development um, you 390 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: know you have confidence that you know, when J. J. 391 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: Watt is tired and he's at seventy five percent, you 392 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: bring in these young guys fresh and there at one 393 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: hundred percent. You know they can give you, you know, 394 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: almost as much, or give you at least get you 395 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: through situations and key downs. And he doesn't have to 396 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: be out there all the time. And you know, he 397 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: talked about in the press conference about how you know, 398 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: he wants to be out there when they need him 399 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: and when it matters and be one hundred percent and 400 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: be a difference maker. And you know that's that's the 401 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: natural progression, especially for a defensive linement as they get 402 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: further along in their career. Um, you still are an 403 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: impact player, you still are one of the best in 404 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: the league, but you might not be one of the 405 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: best in the league playing ninety five percent of the snaps. 406 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: It does need to take a step down. And last 407 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: year I want to say he was double team thirty 408 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: six percent of the time. He shouldn't see that. This 409 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: year is just based on the front seven. But you know, 410 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: I go back to you know, when Tourell Suggs was 411 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: here and the game went to overtime and Billy Davis 412 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: is saying, I got a Hall of Famer on the sidelines, 413 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: but he's played X amount of stet How do they 414 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: control that? I mean, because we know he's good against 415 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: the run, but also he can win one on one matchup. 416 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: So you know, is it a case where you want 417 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: him in the third and fourth quarter or is it 418 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, just kind of the monitors snaps throughout the 419 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: course of the year. I think you rotate series. I mean, 420 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: you get him in there maybe the first second series, 421 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: and then you give him a little bit of a break. 422 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: And obviously you would like him on the field at 423 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: the end of the half during a two minute drive, 424 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: and you would like him available at the end of 425 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when you you know, the one thing, 426 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: not the one thing, but you know, one of the 427 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: things he's showing throughout his career is his ability to 428 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: make big plays when it matters, and he's the type 429 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: of guy you need and you want on the field 430 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: when the game is on the line, especially at the end, 431 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: and so you don't want to get to the end 432 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: and you know you're looking down and he's taking sixty 433 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: snaps and he doesn't have a lot left in the tank. 434 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: You want him to still have a lot left in 435 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: the tank. When the game is on the line, you 436 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: need a big play, you need a big stop on 437 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: third down. You always have to be aware of where 438 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: number ninety nine is on the field and whether that's 439 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: in a three point stance, he's standing up, or he's 440 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: on one side or the other. So that is something 441 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: that if your vans Joseph, you can have a lot 442 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: of fun with, especially with Chandler Jones on the other side, 443 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: and trying to figure out the best way to attack 444 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: an opposing offense, whether that's you know, you're trying to 445 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: get to the quarterback or getting into the ball carrier 446 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: or to your point, Kyle, you know, trying to get 447 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: that ball out at a great moment, whether that's you know, 448 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: late first half or certainly in the crucial moments of 449 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: a fourth quarter. Yeah, and you know, Mike just talked 450 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: about it, you know, the fact that he's not going 451 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: to get double team to every play because of the 452 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: talent across the defensive line, because you could have linebackers 453 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: stepping up and blitzing into gaps and it's gonna open 454 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: things up for him. He's gonna see things that he 455 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: probably hasn't seen in a couple of years with these 456 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: one on one opportunities. I was back in Tennessee a 457 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: couple of years ago visiting and they were talking about 458 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: when you're their game plan. The head coach went in 459 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: and said, we're just going to run our offense. We're 460 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: not gonna game plan for JJ Watt. And that was 461 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: the worst mistake they could have made because he ended 462 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: up having three sacks that game. And you have to, 463 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: like you said, you have to know where he is. 464 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: You have to give him extra attention or he's going 465 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: to completely ruin the game for you. Certainly a very 466 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: special player. Talking about JJ Watt, let's hear more from 467 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: the head coach, Cliff Kingsbury. This is from the Dave 468 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: Pash podcast back earlier as far as why Kingsbury bullies 469 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: Watt is such a special player when you watch him 470 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: and when you talk to him. What makes him special. 471 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: There's a certain level intensity that he has. I mean, 472 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,719 Speaker 1: he walks into any room in that building anything, everybody 473 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: kind of stand up a little bit straight, or whether 474 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: it's the weight room, meeting rooms. I remember having on 475 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: the first Zoom team meeting we had this offseason, and he's, 476 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: you know, staring at you, writing down every word, and 477 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: so he just he brings it every day and guys 478 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: feel that, and so I can't wait to get him 479 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: out of the private field and really get it going. 480 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: And we saw that at MJ during offseason workouts, whether 481 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: it was ots or minicamp. He's always first in line. 482 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: He's always talking, but he's always leading. I mean, there's 483 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: a reason behind what he says, whether that's to a 484 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: young player or even someone his contemporary as far as 485 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,719 Speaker 1: a veteran, like at Jordan Phillips. Yeah, I mean, and 486 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: you're seeing the same thing from Jordan Hicks, even though 487 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: you know he's he's been regulated and he's still going 488 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: to get, you know, opportunities to play. And you know 489 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: Zavin Collins is the first round pick, and you know 490 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: he's still second or third on the pecking or there. Yeah. Again, 491 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, you look at Corey Peters, 492 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: you know he's he's you know, he's not gonna play 493 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: this week and he'll be ready for the opener. I 494 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: gotta think when you're facing Derrick Henry, you got to 495 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: get your big bodies in there, so hopefully Phillips can return. 496 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: You got Zach Ellen, you got the rotation with Rochard 497 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: Lawrence and like the foe too, so I feel like 498 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna have a nice little rotation. But clearly, you know, 499 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: he's a guy that can bat balls down, he can 500 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: split a double team tackle for losses. So he brings 501 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: a lot to the table. Then just maybe a guy 502 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: that's gonna put showing the quarterback or take them off 503 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: a spot.

Thanks for having me on. It's our pleasure 530 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: your first season with the Cardinals. But I gotta look back. 531 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: You're fifteen, for you were your expectations back in two 532 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: thousand and seven coming out of Central Florida. Honestly, just 533 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: to make it and learned. I knew I was really 534 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: raw as a guy, a prospect coming out of college. 535 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: I just swung my hardest and then realize the hard 536 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: way that's got to go straight, doesn't matter how far 537 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: it goes. But so I took bits and pieces over 538 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: the years. But when I first made it, my goal 539 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: was obviously to make a team, and then once I 540 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: made it was to play ten years. And now going 541 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: on fifteen, it's like a blink of an eye and 542 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: it's been fifteen years. It's pretty crazy, but I'm still 543 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: trying to do it. Um. I enjoy it, and you know, 544 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: there's there's nothing else like being in the locker room 545 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: and bonding with everybody, and you know, just being a 546 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: part of a team is there's nothing like it. Well, 547 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: if the goal was ten year, at fifteen, do I 548 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: hear twenty? I mean, how far? How much longer we 549 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: got here? I honestly, I don't know that kind of 550 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: a year at a time at this point. And as 551 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: long as they're going straight and I'm enjoying it, I'll 552 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: keep doing it as long as I can. Man, what 553 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: do you think of training camp? I mean clearly in doors, 554 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: you know, air condition. They're gonna have a new sod 555 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: field when you guys come back here for Week two 556 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: against the the Vikings. But just being at the hotel. 557 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: What do you think of the setup here? I love it. Um. 558 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: You know, anytime you can kick indoors and especially on grass, 559 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: there's it's it's the best of both worlds UM. And 560 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: then being an air condition instead of the heat is awesome. 561 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed camp out here this year. When we 562 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: always talk about relationships, obviously you have a relationship with 563 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: Jeff Rogers and Air and Brewer. Um, when you're getting 564 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 1: intel on a certain team, how helpful is that? Um, 565 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: It's definitely helpful. And I think when you when you 566 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: get to go to work and UM with people that 567 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: you're friends with, you enjoy working with, and you get 568 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: along with, it makes it you know, a lot. I 569 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't say better, but it's just you know, when you 570 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: kind of bond and you gel together and definitely makes 571 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: things easier and it keeps you a little bit loose 572 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: at the same time. My understanding is you and Brewer 573 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: or roommates. Is that correct? H Yeah? He was actually 574 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: the when he made the team in Denver, we cut 575 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: a veteran Lonnie Paxton and Burr made the team and 576 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: he started stressing out and trying to figure out what 577 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: apartment he's going to get her a house or all 578 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: that good stuff. So I toil almost like, you know, Burr, 579 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: why don't you just, you know, stay with me. I 580 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: have two extra rooms at the you know, I had 581 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: a town house, and I said, why don't you just 582 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: stay with me? And so your parents come out and 583 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: figure it out. You just need to worry about snap 584 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: and don't worry about where you're gonna live and what 585 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna eat and all that good stuff. So, yeah, 586 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: we were roommates for a little bit, and uh yeah, 587 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: I kind of took care of him a little bit. 588 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: But now he's going on his tenth year, which is 589 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: crazy as well. Oh, we got to include Devin Fitzimmons 590 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: as well, the Cardinals new assistant special teams coach. You 591 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: guys were together in Detroit. The only new face in 592 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: all of this equation is Andy Lee. Did you know 593 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: him ahead of this season? And then that relationship with 594 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: the holder, I know, it's it's it's huge for any kicker, right. 595 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: I just knew Andy from playing against him over the 596 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: years and mutual friends. But you know, coming here with Andy, 597 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: he's one of the best to ever do it, hands down, 598 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: and it's awesome getting to watch him work and he 599 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: doesn't miss a beat holding. Then I knew, I knew 600 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: what I was getting into with Brewer snapping, and I 601 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: heard nothing but good things about Andy as a holder. 602 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: And yeah, I feel like we've kind of gelled pretty quickly, 603 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: and hopefully it's a long season, so we got to 604 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: keep it straight for another you know, however long twenty 605 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: weeks or and but no, he's he's been awesome. He's 606 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: a great guy, great holder, great punter, and he's all 607 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: around just perfect teammate. Matt Prador joining us here on 608 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: the Cardinals Red Sea Reports. I want to go back 609 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: to your introductory press conference with the Cardinals way back 610 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: earlier in the offseason. You mentioned Jeff Rogers as being 611 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: a quote, a big reason why I wanted to come 612 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: here end quote. What is about coach Rogers that's made 613 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: this an attractive place? And then just the relationship that 614 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: you two have, I'd say just his coaching style and 615 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: when I was with him, you know, earlier on in 616 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: my career, I had some ups and downs, and I 617 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: remember he pulled me aside and talk to me one 618 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: on one and just kind of gave me a pep 619 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 1: talk but vote of confidence and talk me through some 620 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,719 Speaker 1: things and now I'm a little more experienced, and just 621 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: working with him, I was really excited just because he's 622 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: so easy going and basically really chill on the sideline 623 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: during game days, really easy to work with, and he 624 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: holds you accountable at the same time too, or there's 625 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: high expectations, which I have high expectations for myself, but 626 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: just working with coach Rogers, it's been awesome. One of 627 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: the storylines of camp is your skinny goal post. I 628 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: mean for our listeners out there and maybe they haven't 629 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: had a chance to come to practice, and clearly once 630 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: you get back on Tempe, they're not going to be 631 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: able to So what is the mindset when you have those? 632 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: Basically it's like the old saying aim small, miss small. 633 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: So anytime I kick field goals with the team or 634 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: when I'm warming up and practicing, I like to only 635 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: look at those in practice kicking on those, They're nine 636 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: feet wide, which is just under half is wide of 637 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: the regular goal post. So when I look at those 638 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: all week and then we you know, playing the stadium 639 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: or the tome or away, the uprights look like twice 640 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: as big. So I feel like I can't on those, 641 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: and it's just just a little kind of a mental 642 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: edge that I've picked up over the years that I 643 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: really like to practice on those all the time. Watching 644 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: you practice, even when the fans were in attendance here 645 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: at Stay Farm Stadium during training camp, you're consistently having 646 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: that ball spotted at the fifty yard line and even 647 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: going to the other forty five yard line. I mean, 648 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,719 Speaker 1: is that I mean keeping that leg strong? I mean, 649 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: is there is there a limit on how long a 650 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: field goal for you personally is? Yeah, there's definitely a limit. 651 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, when they sent me out there for you know, 652 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: the longer kicks, I expect to make them. They wouldn't 653 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: send me out there if they didn't think or that 654 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: I was going to make it or didn't have the 655 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: confidence in me to make it. So, like I said, 656 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: anytime they send me out there, I expect to make them, 657 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: whether it's an extra point or a sixty yard or 658 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: I treat them all the same. I was going to 659 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: ask you that. I mean, obviously, you know, in the 660 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: first quarter is just as important as the fourth, But 661 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: when you're going out there for a game winner, I mean, 662 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: is your mindset change at all or just you're just 663 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: trying to get it through the uprights. No, my mindset's 664 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: always the same. I go out. You know one thing, 665 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident when I go out there, and I 666 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: just expect to make those kicks when they you know, 667 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: whether it's the first quarter or the fourth quarter, and 668 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: so I don't treat the last second kicks any different. 669 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: I go out and just expect to make them. Well, 670 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: you made one last year against the Cardinals in Week 671 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: three that Cardinal fans are well aware of and certainly 672 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: hopefully now with the edition of you, that the Cardinals 673 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: will be on the right side of a lot of 674 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: those games here in twenty twenty one. The other aspect 675 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: of your game is kickoffs, And I know it was 676 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: a talking point earlier in camp because you just haven't 677 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: done it. But I think in the preseason in two 678 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: games against the Cowboys and Chiefs, you certainly answered the 679 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: question whether you have a strong enough leg if they 680 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: ask for you to get that touch back. Yeah, I'm 681 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: pretty confident with kickoffs. I just because I hadn't done 682 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: in a while, but when I did do them with 683 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: Denver and I filled in here and there in Detroit. 684 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: I feel like I could still do them pretty well 685 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: and be effective. And I feel like with our kickoff 686 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: coverage team as well as I, you know, give them 687 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 1: some hang time and keep it in play. They're going 688 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: to tackle on the side of the twenty five. The 689 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: kickoff coverage team here's awesome, and so basically it's on 690 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: me not to screw it up and give those guys 691 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: a chance to cover it. I don't even think that 692 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: we possibly might not even want to hit touchbacks all 693 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: the time just because the coverage team is so good. 694 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about that, because we're 695 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: seeing more and more teams. You know, you kick it 696 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: deep and then all of a sudden the ball spot 697 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: of the twenty five. But if you can do the 698 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: corner kicks or kick it a little bit shorter and 699 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: the coverage units you just referred to, I mean, how 700 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: much of that is the Is the strategy that we 701 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: might see here this season? Yeah, it's definitely a strategy. 702 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: I think it's going to change week to week depending 703 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: on the opposing team strengths and weaknesses, depending on the 704 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: returner and on all that kind of stuff. So I 705 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: think it'll be week to week, but I think there's 706 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: definitely gonna be at least a few games where we're 707 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: not trying to kick touchbacks this year. All right, so 708 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 1: before camp, but look like we send Day has had 709 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: tweeted something on Instagram talking about you working out with 710 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: him and what was a little chicken like when you 711 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: think on those field goals. It was cool. My mom 712 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: actually has chickens back home in Florida, so it wasn't 713 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 1: anything new for me. But now he's such a nice 714 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: guy and he opened up his house and he's a 715 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: football field in his backyard, which is awesome, and just 716 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: going out there and working with him. He was shooting 717 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: jugs when Tyler was still here, so I was getting 718 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: an operation with a you know, he was shooting the jugs, 719 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: the Tyler He's putting them down and I'm kicking. It 720 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: was a lot of fun and learned from him. And 721 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: anytime I go and kick with guys that have done 722 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: it or that coach, I always try to at least 723 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: take one thing away. And I think with him, he 724 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: was just such a nice guy, a great guy. I'm 725 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: definitely gonna work with him down the road as well. 726 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: How difficult is it for you and other kickers in 727 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: the off season to find I mean, you know, goalposts 728 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: or two trees close together. I mean as far as 729 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: trying to practice kicking field goals. Well, especially with the 730 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: COVID stuff going on, when all the fields were closed, 731 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: it was tough, so you'd have to find a park 732 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: or a high school field you could get onto. But yeah, 733 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: this year I was kind of hitting different high schools 734 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: in the area and going out there and getting work in. 735 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: But then once I got connected with Louis, I was 736 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: going out to his place probably twice a week. Well, Matt, 737 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: it's a pleasure and certainly glad you're with the Arizona 738 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals here in twenty twenty one. Appreciates a couple of minutes, 739 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: and best of luck the rest of this season. All right, 740 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: thank you, I appreciate it, and I'm really excited for 741 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: the season. We are too. Just right around the corner, 742 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: We'll take a time out, come back with more. We 743 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: work our way towards the top of the hour here 744 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, Tyler Murray's got the ball, 745 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: drops back to throw a lot passed right corner of 746 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: the end zone on the money to Andy Isabella for 747 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: the touchdown. What a pass by Kyler Murray and you 748 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: see the confidence of Andy Isabella soaring for the Cardinals. 749 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: Rolls strong, grasshopper snapped to Murray, Rolls right, throws right, 750 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: Isabella caught it. Andy stumbles, dives and then touchdown. Andy 751 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 1: Isabella with his second touchdown catch of the day. One 752 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: step up the field and wham, run that out. He 753 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: chucked the dB, he met the press and he threw 754 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: him out of the way. Flashback a year ago against 755 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Andy Isabella with a huge performance and 756 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: now looking at a huge opportunity this week as we 757 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: welcome me back here to the Cardinals Red Sea Report 758 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: Craig Riel lou, Mike Drecki, and Kyle Vannibosch looking ahead 759 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: to Cardinals at Saints on Saturday. Five o'clock is the kickoff. 760 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: It would be a one thirty pregame coverage begins on 761 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio network. And yes, Andy Isabella is 762 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: expected to play on Saturday, in fact, play a lot. Isabella, 763 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: along with Dennis Gardeck and JJ Watt, all activated on Monday. 764 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: Isabella has been missing in the past two preseason games 765 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: MJ because he's been on the reserve COVID nineteen. It 766 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: was good to see him during the open portion of 767 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: practice both Monday and Tuesday, and certainly if things continue 768 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: to trend it that he is capable of playing, we 769 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: should see him quite a bit against the Saints. Yeah, 770 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: and Kingsbury alluded, it's it's a big, big week. Frandy Isabella. 771 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: I still think, you know, if you look at the 772 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: top six receivers, I think he's number six right now. 773 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's going to be active on game day, 774 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: but I thought, you know, when he was out there 775 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: when the fans were here, I thought he was consistent 776 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: catching the ball. You see him after practice on the 777 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: jugs machine. So now it's just a matter of him 778 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 1: going out there and playing free and you know, putting 779 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: the decision in the decision makers. But I do think 780 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: he's still going to be on the rosters. Just I 781 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: don't know if he'll be active on game day. Well, 782 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: you mentioned the head coach. Let's hear from a head 783 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,439 Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury about Isabella. I'd say it's a big week. 784 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't had preseason action yet and that's 785 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: important to see how he responds in the game, and 786 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: I expect him to play a lout on Saturday. It's 787 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: all part of the evaluation process, Kyle. And certainly when 788 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: you look at the receiver position, I think we're safe 789 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: to say that five we know of, and that would 790 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: be DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green, Christian Kirk, Rondel Moore, and 791 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,399 Speaker 1: Keishan Johnson because Johnson plays on special teams. The question mark, 792 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: though is Andy Isabella is if there's someone else at 793 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: that position, or if they only keep five wide receivers, 794 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Isabella would be the odd 795 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: guy out right. And yeah, you know what, what he 796 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 1: brings to the game is something you can't coach. It's 797 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: it's something you know, no matter how many reps you get, 798 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,280 Speaker 1: some players aren't gonna develop. But he has world class speed. 799 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: You know you'd like to see. But there is a 800 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: difference in being fast and being athletic. You know, he 801 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: doesn't always make the athletic play. He doesn't make, you know, 802 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: the one handed grabs or the things that you know 803 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: a player like Keishan Johnson makes sometimes these fantastic catches 804 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: and makes it look easy. You know, he needs to 805 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: look comfortable catching the ball, especially catching the ball in traffic, 806 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: and you know the thing that you would like to see, 807 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, not only doing that at the receiver position. 808 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: He's had two years and hasn't really made an impact 809 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: on special teams if he can show and he gets 810 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: that opportunity in this third preseason game to show that 811 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: he can be a contributor and he can make an 812 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: impact and he can be a good player on special teams. 813 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 1: And I think he solidifies that spot. But like you said, 814 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: there is other players that have flashed. You know, I've 815 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,280 Speaker 1: got Butchelli, and you've got Dortsch, and you've got Wesley 816 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: and those guys have shown some good things at camp 817 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: as well, and so you know, each of those guys 818 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: really has an opportunity in this last preseason game to 819 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: show that they cannot only function and contribute to this offense, 820 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: but that they can be that player on special teams 821 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: because that if you do keep that six wide receiver, 822 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: that's your opportunity to get on the field and to 823 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: be active on game days. He's one guy that I mean, 824 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure Rondel Moore can line up outside, but you 825 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: clearly they want him in the slot right now. And 826 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: we know Hopkins and Greener outside. But and he's a 827 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: guy that can play inside and outside. So if they 828 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: really want to go four or five wide, now he'd 829 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: have to be active. I think, you know, drawing that 830 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: third or fourth corner, possibly safety over the top help. 831 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: But I do agree with Kyle. Initially he was catching 832 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: the ball kind of with his body, and we know 833 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: how much he works with the jugs machine. But I 834 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: do think Sean Jefferson is a guy that can get 835 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 1: him to the next level now, it's no matter what 836 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: and he's going to do when he gets set as 837 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: opportunities outside of the wide receiver position. This is the 838 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: preseason finale, so the last time for game tape, in 839 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: the last time before the final roster is said. As 840 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 1: far as that fifty three man roster is concerned, MJ. 841 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: You look at different position groups, whether that's D line, 842 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: offensive line, maybe even outside linebacker, cornerback. Those are position 843 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 1: groups that are with heavy numbers, like the wide receiver position. 844 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: But anyone else outside his Avan Collins and Isaiah Simmons, 845 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: We've already talked about them, but players that perhaps now 846 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: all of a sudden need that extra extra reps if 847 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: you will, to kind of make a mark this week. Yeah, 848 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: you look at Tay Gowan. I think if the Cardinals 849 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: keep five cornerbacks, I know, I know darkcause Denard hasn't practice, 850 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: but I was told he can play safety. He can 851 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,720 Speaker 1: play inside and outside. So I would think Marco Wilson's 852 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: your number four. And then depending on Denard again, how 853 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: many are active end game day? And then you look 854 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: at the safety position. You know, you look at Buddha 855 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: and the Thompson twins, and then Chris Angels probably gonna 856 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: be out. And then you look at Charles Washington. I 857 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: mean he's fighting for a position with Sean Williams with 858 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: a Cardinals sign from Cincinnati, and then he also threw 859 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: in Wiggins. And some of these guys are gonna try 860 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: to slide on the practice squad, and then I think 861 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna carry three tight ends. And now it's a 862 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: matter of who do they like. We know that Psychovitz 863 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: is you know, he's got an exemption, so it will 864 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: be on the practice squad. But I think Ross Travis, 865 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: he's caught the ball in traffic, he's runing a good route, 866 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: So you know, you look at some of those guys, 867 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: but clearly I don't think the starters are gonna play, 868 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 1: So you know, you got to field the team and 869 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: there could be thirty forty players out and so you 870 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,879 Speaker 1: know right now you're eighty three man roster. They're gonna 871 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: make some roster moves here, so we'll see. But it's 872 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: an opportunity for guys to, you know, get more playing 873 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: time and then get on film because last year you 874 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,760 Speaker 1: didn't have a preseason and scouts are attending these games. 875 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: I just think it's difficult to claim a guy knowing 876 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: you gotta put them on your fifty three man roster 877 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,879 Speaker 1: and for several weeks, not just week one as well, 878 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,439 Speaker 1: but they've got to stay around to believe it's three 879 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: games if I remember correctly. But Kyle, you look at 880 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: this preseason finale and you know we talk about wanting 881 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 1: to make sure everyone is healthy for Week one, but 882 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 1: you do have to play somebody. I mean, not every 883 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: starter is going to be sitting on the sidelines or 884 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: standing on the sidelines watching. I don't I don't think 885 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a handful, I would think, and then 886 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: some key reserves as well. But for the most part, 887 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: if I'm the head coach, I'm making sure that it's 888 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: it's the backups that hopefully can flash, if not for 889 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, for someone else. Yeah, it's it's about building 890 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: your resume. And some of these guys probably have a 891 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: good idea already that they're not going to make this team, 892 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,439 Speaker 1: but they a good number of them will get picked 893 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,280 Speaker 1: up immediately and then the most of them when injuries 894 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 1: happened throughout the season. GM's. Everybody's going to have access 895 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: to this tape and they're going to be watching it. 896 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: I think you know one other that you know, Mike 897 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: didn't mention is that third running back spot. And you 898 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 1: know Benjamin has, you know, really in these two preseason 899 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: games made a name for himself. He's run hard, he's 900 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: cut the ball out of the backfield, he's showing returnability. 901 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,919 Speaker 1: But you know Jonathan Ward has flashed in practice and 902 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: he ran hard also in the second preseason game. So 903 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: he needs to take this opportunity in this third preseason 904 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 1: game to try to close that gap because I think 905 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: it did, you know, spread a little bit if we 906 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 1: learned anything over the last couple of years, just because 907 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 1: they announced a fifty three man roster. He got to 908 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 1: think between Monday and Tuesday. I wouldn't go buy a car, 909 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: purchase the house, because there's no guarantee. You've got to 910 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: be on the roster Wednesday, take a credit for that 911 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: week of practice in playing. So he'll be interesting, but 912 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't look at it from that standpoint. This is 913 00:44:54,920 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. You've been listening to the 914 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea Report.
