1 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang. On today's show, we play general manager 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: and head coach. How should the Cardinals handle Week eight? 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: Seen with the playoffs right around the corner, the NFC 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: West Division title is still within reach, but might it 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: be smarter to err on the side of cushion With 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: some players Speaking of the playoffs, there are nine different 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: scenarios when it comes to A the opponents and b 8 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: the location. It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode five twenty one, 9 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:38,279 Speaker 1: and it starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: Craig Griolu and Mike Jarecki. Cardinals Cover two is presented 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: by Hyundai, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals and by 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. Visit Acy Cardinals dot Com, Slash podcasts. 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: Going for Hopkins one handed catch in a touchdown DeAndre Hopkins. 14 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: Here's Craig Griolu and Mike so Chandler Jones might not 15 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: want to talk about the playoffs, but we certainly do. 16 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: Jones didn't want to say the word playoffs or postseason, 17 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: though I do understand why the question was asked him 18 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: the other day. Mj first time reaching the playoffs in 19 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: his Cardinal's career, but Chendler wanted no parts of any 20 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: talk about looking ahead, even about something like that. And 21 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: I think Kyler kind of touched on that where he said, 22 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: we knew we're going to make the playoffs, but we 23 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: really haven't thought about the playoffs. And if you want 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: to get momentum going based on what they did in 25 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: Big D, this is a game you want to win again. 26 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: You can't go back and change the three game losing streak, 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: but you can definitely affect what's going to happen moving forward. 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: And I do think they got their swagger back. I 29 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: do think they are a much confident team. And he 30 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: stepped down the field and they showed a lot of energy, 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: So I think they'll be carrier over there knowing, Hey, 32 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: this is how we can play if we don't make mistakes, 33 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: don't beat ourselves, and play complimentary football. And that to 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: me is encouraged Gene, because the last thing you want 35 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: to do is limp into the playoffs on a losing streak, 36 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: finishing ten and seven. That would not be ideal. And 37 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: whether if you buy into the idea or concept of momentum, 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: I personally do. There is that feeling of winning football 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: feeling good moving forward. Yeah, it's a week to week league. 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: It's one in no mentality, But to your point, you 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: go into the playoffs on a losing streak or losing 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: four out of five, that's just it's just not a 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: recipe for success. Historically, super Bowl team, super Bowl winning 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: teams do not limp, to use your word, into the postseason. 45 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: They're playing some of their best football going into the playoffs. Yeah, 46 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's why it was so disappointing for 47 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, because you know, they had won foreign role 48 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: regardless of who the quarterback was and the teams were. 49 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: And here now you know, it sounds like they're going 50 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: to play their starters, you know, against the Eagles. But 51 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, just go back to a year ago. I'll 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: disappoint it where we after Week sixteen and seventeen, knowing 53 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: that's all they had to do is win one game. 54 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: We know the circumstances, we know how it ended. And 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: so that's the difference of this year. And the fact is, 56 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: regardless of how they got in, you know, they had 57 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: two games to go to kind of figure things out, 58 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: and they checked the first box. Now they gotta check 59 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: the second box. Well, one game now to determine whether 60 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: they go in as the NFC West Division champions or 61 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: as a wild card. There are nine different playoffs scenarios. 62 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: You can go to Acy Cardinals dot com to kind 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: of get a look, but real quick, and I'm going 64 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: to do the best I can. I'm not gonna go 65 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: through every scenario, MJ, but these are the most important ones. 66 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: When the NFC West, do you enter as a two 67 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: seed and host the Eagles? If Cardinals take care of 68 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: business against the Seahawks at home, the forty nine Ers 69 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: beat the Rams on the road, and the Panthers beat 70 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers on the road. Now that's the least likely 71 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: of the scenario. If for no other reason, does anyone 72 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: think the Panthers are going to beat the Buccaneers in 73 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. No, okay, so the next scenarios playing Gabbert 74 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: plays the entire game, but they still you know, they 75 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: still have a good defense. To answer your question, No, no, 76 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: I don't think so. True. Now, there is the option 77 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: of the Cardinals going in as the number three seed 78 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: and hosting the forty nine ers on wild card weekend. 79 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: That is, if the Cardinals win, forty nine Ers win, 80 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers win. I think that's a plausible scenario 81 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, forty nine Ers and Buccaneers. I like 82 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: that scenario. Yeah, all right. All other scenarios have the 83 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 1: Cardinals on the road as the five seed in Los 84 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: Angeles Wild Card weekend. If the Seahawks win, forty nine 85 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: Ers win, Cowboys win Saturday Nights at Philadelphia, and the 86 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: Buccaneers win. I don't know about the Seahawks winning on Sunday, 87 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: that's just me. Or Cardinals play in Tampa Bay. If 88 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, forty nine Ers, Cowboys and Panthers win again, 89 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: another unlikely scenario, especially when you toss in Carolina in Dallas, 90 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: the most likely with five different scenarios. And that's where 91 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: all this conversation a week ago was, Hey, we'll see 92 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: you in two weeks Cardinals and Cowboys the rematch at 93 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: at and T Stadium. I like scenario number three, or 94 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: as to say, number two, Cardinals go in as a 95 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: three seed. What in the NFC West, I do think 96 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: that's a possibility. Yeah. Again, you just got to take 97 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: care of business, and then you know, you become a 98 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Niners fan to beat the Rams, and then it changes 99 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: everything and again that we talked about it, Kyler talked 100 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: about it. People will see the goals to make the playoffs, 101 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: but each team's goal is to win the division guaranteed 102 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: a home playoff game. Now, you love to be the 103 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: first seed, go to buy, but that's the goal and 104 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: here it's still within reach, but you have to take 105 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: care of business and then hope to get a little 106 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 1: bit of help by the Niners. In the here Bird Gang, 107 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: we'll talk about kind of the approach that this team 108 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: is taking going into this week's game. But some other 109 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: news and notes here on Cardinals Covered two presented by Honday, 110 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals, got the email this morning. 111 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: Wasn't expecting an email this morning, but congratulations to Matt 112 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: Prador NFC Special Teams Player of the Weekend Special Teams 113 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: Unless it's a kick return, punt return, you just I 114 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: don't know, it's not top of mind for me, but again, 115 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: you make all of your kicks, four field goals plus 116 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: a p a t. Matt Prador accounted for thirteen points 117 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday that tied a season high. So the second 118 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: time this season Matt Prator honored with a Special Teams 119 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Yeah, in twenty four, fifty three, 120 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: twenty six, and thirty eight, and you know, Kyler talked about, 121 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, they still want to get in the red 122 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: zone and not kick field goals good touchdowns. But I 123 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: found this stat interesting because we know and I talked 124 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: to Dave Burkett, I think it was before the season, 125 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: and we had a message. We were messaging each other, 126 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: and I think they were going through some situation with 127 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: their kicker. And clearly, you know, Matt Prator one to 128 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: sign here for obvious reasons, you know, plus his wife 129 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: and everything, but he said he's a better kicker fifty 130 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: yards and out. And I'm thinking just based on history, yes, 131 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: right now, prators seven field goals of fifty yards in 132 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one ties his career for a single season. 133 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: It's the fourth time in his career Prater has kicked 134 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: seven field goals of fifty yards in a season. And 135 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: this season it's a Cardinals record, right he has the 136 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals record and he's done it, and it might own 137 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: the record for the Broncos and Lions as well. And 138 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: with one game remaining, he's accumulated one hundred and twenty 139 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: five points twenty seven field goals in forty four I 140 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: guess extra points, that represents the fifth highest single total 141 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: in franchise history. And let alone the missus you talk 142 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: about going from last week, and then we talked about 143 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: the Seattle game. They won the game. He thought it 144 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: was his worst game, and then you know, obviously missing 145 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: field goals and extra points and obviously it wasn't right. 146 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: But just one week later, when things get settled down, 147 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: you bring Andy Lee back. Who's their best punter, and 148 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: he's their best holder. We know Aaron Brewer, We're not 149 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: talking about him unless the snap goes over someone's head. 150 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: But Matt Prador, he's in a zone and he showed 151 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: it last week. And if this team is going to 152 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: make a run, there could be an opportunity for him 153 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: to make a pressure kick in the fourth quarter, whether 154 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: it's to win it or to go over overtime. It's 155 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: impressive when he has his snapper and his holder six 156 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: misses when one of those two, either Aaron Brewer or 157 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: Andy Lee, are not there. And yet it does it 158 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: sounds so simple, though yet I'm trying to come up 159 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: with a good comparison or an analogy. But if you're 160 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: missing one third of what you want to do to accomplish. 161 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: It's it's like trying to ride your bike with one 162 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: wheel or drive a car with three wheels as opposed 163 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: to four. Can you do it? Well, yeah, you just 164 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: have to shift some things. But it's it's just not 165 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: that easy. It sounds simple enough. Well, you just wait 166 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: for it and then you kick the ball. Well, it's 167 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: a process, that's what we'd like to say. Well, I 168 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: think it's because Brewers such a great snapper. The ball's 169 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: coming back in a certain amount of time and they 170 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: work on that. It's about getting the ball down and 171 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: you have to be able to turn the laces. And yeah, 172 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: I got to assume quote McCoy tried that in practice, 173 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: but it's much different when you got ten or eleven 174 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: guys coming at you. But Brewer does such a good 175 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 1: job and the holder, it's all you really got to 176 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: do is make sure you possess it like on a punt, 177 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: and then get it down. But it's not as easy 178 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: as you think. Just turn the laces because clearly twice 179 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: in that and maybe a third time when Harlow, the 180 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: laces were not in the right direction, and that will 181 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: screw up any kicker. I don't care if it's a 182 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame kicker or not. Yeah, So congratulations to 183 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: Matt Praydor. Second time a season. He's been honored fourteenth 184 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: time in his career and seven times now Cardinals player 185 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: has been selected Player of the Week. And if you 186 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: wanted to just start comparing, healing is trailing and Adam Veneti, 187 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: who had nineteen And we're talking about a guy that 188 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: should be a Hall of Famer. Justin Tucker's in that boat. 189 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: Matt Prador. You know we'll see more special teams. But 190 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: when you mentioned Adam Venetteri and he's trailing five. And 191 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: I know kickers, you know, their careers last a lot 192 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: longer like punters and long snappers. But pretty impressive. And 193 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: when they signed him, I thought this is gonna be 194 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: a great signing. I think it showed, yes, they want touchdowns, 195 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: but at least you're not, you know, coming away with 196 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: zero points. Oh, there's no question his value to this 197 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: team so far in the regular season. Now hopefully it 198 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: carries on and of the postseason. Cardinals also got a 199 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: nice shot in the arm. Four players activated off the 200 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: reserve COVID nineteen list. Left tackle Dj Humphreys linebackers Marcus Golden, 201 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: Devon Knard plus cornerback Breon Borders. You get two stars, 202 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: two rotation players. You did lose two players placed on 203 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: the list, defensive lineman Zach Kerr and linebacker Tanner Vallejo. 204 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: But I think a lot of people are happy to 205 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: see Huff back and also Marcus Golden. Yeah, and you 206 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: throw an even a guy like Knar just from a 207 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: standpoint of you know, he's this good special teams guy. No, 208 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: not special teams. He's more of a guy that can 209 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: set the edge. But clearly you want to get your 210 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: starters back and this will go along way. And again 211 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: I give Kelvin Beach him credit. And our colleague Danny 212 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: Serek mentioned that when it comes to the lineup on Sunday, 213 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: really it's the five guys that you know, when you 214 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: look at where they were and the fact that Garcia 215 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: has more upside than Josh Jones. This is what they 216 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: kind of planned on going into the season, and you 217 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: know they had competition. Obviously, Brian Winters he decided to 218 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: leave camp. They were hoping he would be some flexibility there. 219 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Justin Murray wasn't able to stay healthy and Correig. This 220 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: is the perfect time to have the you're starting five, 221 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: and we can make the case their best starting five 222 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: first time since November seventh at San Francisco, in which 223 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: now it's not the five that started week one. But 224 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: what we have come to know as you're starting five, 225 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: DJ Humphreys, Justin Pugh, Rodney Hudson, Max Garcia, Calvin Beecham. 226 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: The last time you had all five of those on 227 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: the field at the same time, you got to go 228 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: back to the first weekend of November. Colt McCoy. Yes, 229 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: that's the other interesting tidbit on this. Kyler Murray has 230 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: never played behind that entire offensive line. That's that's actually 231 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: that's kind of remarkable when you think about it, stop 232 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: to think about it. Yeah, and again, if this was 233 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, late October, you're like, great, chuck back in December, 234 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: give me let me know what's going on in week 235 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen. All right, Well, now we're going to week 236 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: eighteen and you have your horses back. I mean, these 237 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: are the best five guys that have played this year 238 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: from start to finish. Very very impressive. Notes on that, 239 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: and also some other notes with respects to the roster 240 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: safety James Wiggins, designated for return, has not played since 241 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: Green Bay, so you get perhaps again you're looking for 242 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: guys to get healthy, to get depth. And speaking of depth, 243 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: we can now discuss a long rumored, long reported signing 244 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: to the practice squad. Veteran quarterback Bashad Breland is now 245 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals, a veteran of eight seasons with 246 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: the Vikings. Earlier in the year, things didn't work out. 247 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: Don't know all the details, but he was released, so 248 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: there was obviously something happened. There was an issue with 249 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: either him and his coaches, him and his teammates, but 250 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: he was on the street. Cardinals try to sign him. 251 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: Initially he contacted contracted COVID nineteen. They had to wait. 252 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: But now he is on the practice squad and it 253 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: did seem, according to head coach Cliff Kingsbury, that there 254 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: might be an opportunity here for Breland to get some 255 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: significant playing time. That is, one he learns the defense 256 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: and is able to catch up with what is going 257 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: on and what Vans Joseph is being asked of those 258 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: secondary players. But you might see Brioland on the football 259 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: field this week. Yeah. The one thing he does have 260 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: is experience. You know. I remember when the Cardinals were 261 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: playing the Vikings. I'm like, um, you know, depending on 262 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: where Patrick Peterson lined up, I'm thinking you got to 263 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: go after Brilin because I know he wasn't one hundred percent. 264 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: And again, you at this time of the year, and 265 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: according to Ian Rappaport or even Tom pell Sara, there 266 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: were other playoff contending teams that wanted to bring Brilin 267 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: in and the Cardinals had a minute earlier. They had 268 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: more interest when he was released, and then I don't 269 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: think he was fully healthy, so then he he had 270 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: to weight and then they decided to bring him in, 271 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: and then he had COVID and then obviously he's out 272 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: of COVID. But yeah, I mean you can never have 273 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: enough experience. Clearly, Marco Wilson, we haven't seen him get 274 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: an injury report this week, but I do think, you know, 275 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: with you'll give us the latest on Robert Alford here, 276 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: So you still got Byra Murphy, Antonio Hamilton and then 277 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: you're throwing brilliant and I got to think, you know, 278 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: maybe Chase Whittaker or somebody else is gonna be that 279 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: fourth or fifth corner. Well, Kevin Peterson got Peterson high 280 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: praise from coach Kingsbury earlier on Wednesday. We know Peterson 281 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: was beat for a touchdown and sometimes it didn't always 282 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: look good, but elevated from the practice squad of the 283 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: active roster held his own because it's much like an 284 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: offensive lineman that left tackle. How many snaps fifty sixty 285 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: STAPs and the one time you get beat is the 286 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: one time you get highlighted, and that kind of cloud 287 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: your judgment on how well you played. Yeah, and I'm 288 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: glad you mentioned Kevin Peterson because you know Whittaker's would 289 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: be behind him. But you know, I we were hoping 290 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: Alford would return. Yeah, I was too, And that This 291 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: is kind of gets into a larger conversation as well. 292 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: One Marco Wilson was spotted working out on the side, 293 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: still dealing with a shoulder injury. He's day to day. 294 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: Alford remains on injured reserve. He is eligible to be activated, 295 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: but according to Kingsbury, it's going to be a couple 296 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: of weeks. So he didn't sound encouraged talking about Kingsbury. 297 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: So we're left to say, all right, well, you can't 298 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: count on Robert off for this week and maybe not 299 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: even next week and the playoffs. Yeah, and again I 300 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: like the way the Hamilton's playing. You know, I thought 301 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: Kevin Peterson had great coverage. He just got twisted on 302 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: the Michael Gallop did you see Gallop said he felt 303 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: that he tore his knee before he talked about that. Wow, 304 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: I was impressed he came down with the ball, because 305 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: my mind is going somewhere else. But he said he 306 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: knew when he ran that route he tore something and 307 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: he came down. But I thought Peterson had good coverage. 308 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: He just got twisted like a little little pretzel. But 309 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: we know Kevin Peterson is a guy that when they 310 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: had the first overall waiver claim, they claimed him, and 311 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: he's been in more of a special teams player, but 312 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: we all know when the numbers starts stacking up at 313 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: a certain position, you gotta have some flexibility, and he's 314 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: not afraid to stick his nose in there. I think 315 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: that's just because he plays on special teams. And depth 316 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: in the secondary, specifically at corner you're gonna need and 317 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: hopefully this team is getting a little healthy yer again, 318 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: we don't know the severity of Marco Wilson. It was 319 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: good to see him working out on the side, but 320 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: he has yet to really go through any position drills, 321 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: let alone team stretch. So and that brings us to 322 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: what we saw earlier on Wednesday during the open portion 323 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: of practice. The good news is James Connor, rondel Moore 324 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: practicing and going through position drills. They've each missed the 325 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: past two games. Did not see Chase Edmonds or Jordan 326 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: Phillips who has not played the past two games. Edmonds, 327 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: and we think it's a rib issue. Again, the injury 328 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: reporters have to come out here as we talk here 329 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: on Cardinals cover two presented by Hounday proud partner of 330 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. But Edmonds tapped out. He pulled himself 331 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: out of that game late on Sunday holding his midsection. 332 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: So the conversation now becomes as you look at week 333 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: eighteen and the Cardinals hosting the Seahawks with still I 334 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: think a lot on the line and winning the NFCT. 335 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: But the debate is all right if you have some 336 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: players i e. James Connor, Chase Edmonds, Rondel Moore, Jordan Phillips, 337 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: Zach Allen guys who are banged up. Now I guess 338 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: we need a definition of banged up versus hurt versus injured. 339 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: But what do you do? How do you handle this week? 340 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: If you're the Gentil manager and I think this is 341 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: a collective effort, training staff, front office, coaching staff, how 342 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: do you handle these? You know, half a dozen players 343 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: with respects too. We want to win, We want to 344 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: win the division. It's not all in our control. Got 345 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: to need some help. But also you want to be 346 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: healthy come playoff time because that's when it really really matters. Yeah, 347 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: I think I think each player is a little bit different. 348 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: Marco Wilson obviously is a young player. I think teams 349 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: have targeted him and this is a quote from Kingsbury. 350 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: We'll be smart with certain players, but we want to 351 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: win the game. That's our goal. We feel like we've 352 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: made a stride last week and we want to keep 353 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: the momentum. So I would hold Edmunds out because they're 354 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: gonna need him in the postseason. You know Benjamin James Conner, 355 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: we know that he's missed a few games, so maybe 356 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: he's got some fresh legs. He looked like he was 357 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: running fine today. And then you got Jonathan a Ward 358 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: and we know Kyla Murray. But I think certain players, 359 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: and again they're all valuable. But when you start looking 360 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: at stars, if Edmunds is still dealing with that, this 361 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: gives him another week to recover, and then you get 362 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: that one two punch along with Kyla Murray. So but 363 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: I you know, I think this if I can fast 364 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: forward and kind of forecast or foreshadow. Let's say we 365 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: get to halftime and the Cardinals are winning, and you 366 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: look at the other game and maybe the Rams are winning. 367 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: I gotta think at some point they're gonna try to 368 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: win the game, but they're not going to sacrifice anybody 369 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: to make sure that they are gonna get You know, 370 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: we don't know about injuries. Obviously, if a guy's lingering, 371 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't play all four quarters. But the whole 372 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: idea is to win the game, because now of sudden, 373 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: you're putting pressure on the Rams because they have to 374 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: take care of and that's where the forty nine ers 375 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: come in handy. Winning the division to me is not 376 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: as important as being healthy for the postseason. That seems 377 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: odd as I say it out loud, because you always 378 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: want that home playoff game. You want to be able 379 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: to say we won the division. Yet the long run, 380 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: the longer play on all of this is being healthy 381 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: for an extended postseason run. And I'm not saying rest players. 382 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: That's a different conversation. I'm not saying you rest these players. 383 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm not resting Kyler Murray. He's not hurt, he's not injured. 384 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: It's the players that are showing up consistently on the 385 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: injury reports here after seventeen weeks go into eighteen weeks 386 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: that might need benefits from a little extra rest. And 387 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: you look back at how the Cardinals handled Kyler Murray 388 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins after the Green Bay game. We were 389 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: never told the severity of Murray's ankle injury, only learned 390 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: later that it was a high ankle sprain. Well, that's 391 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: obviously multiple weeks. So we don't know the severity of 392 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: Robert Alford's injury although he's on IR. We don't know 393 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: the severity of what James Connor went through with his heel, 394 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: although it's good to see him on the practice field, 395 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: and we don't know how much pain Chase Edmonds is in. 396 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 1: So when you don't have all the information, it's harder 397 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: to say, well, you should do this, you should do 398 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: that sit everyone. You don't want them to get hurt. Well, MJ, 399 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: these guys can get hurt on the practice field that's 400 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: right behind us. So again, we're not resting players now. 401 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: Word earlier this morning was the Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow 402 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: is not going to play. He's not hurt, he's not injured, 403 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: he's resting for the postseason. And the Bengals still have 404 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: an outside shot of get in that number one seed. 405 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: That's their decision. Cardinals again, I think have a better 406 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: idea of what they have in that locker room as 407 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: far as the health of players, and that's something that 408 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: we'll never know. Yeah, so if I'm gonna lean on 409 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: the side of caution, and it looks like Alfred is 410 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: not ready to return even though he's eligible to return. 411 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be cautious with Chase Edmonds now, Bruce 412 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: Arians he's gonna play the starters now if they get 413 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: a lead in the Panthers and they can't improve their seating, 414 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: and maybe we will see Blake portals Dallas and Philadelphia again, 415 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: they both have clinched the playoffs spot. They're gonna play 416 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: their stars now that they play for the thing about 417 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. He's coming off a torn acl He takes 418 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot of hits, So you're protecting your franchise. Last thing. 419 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: You want something to happen in week eighteen. True where 420 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, all that goodwill and all the 421 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: connections and how they're throwing the football and they're running 422 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: the ball, you got. You gotta preserve those guys. But 423 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: he's taken a lot of hits this year, so I 424 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: understand that, and you can't roll them out there and say, wow, 425 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: you know we're aren't in a playoffs. So I think 426 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: each situation is different. But teams say they're gonna play 427 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: their guys, Belichick and all them. We'll see how many 428 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: played all four quarters, because a lot of it's going 429 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: to dictate on. Because good thing to Cardinals beat the 430 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys because I feel like they got some momentum. I 431 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: think they got their swag back. I think they're more confident. 432 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: But if you limp into the playoffs and you just 433 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: can't flick that switch. You want to be playing your 434 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: best football, and you want to play a clean game, 435 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: and you want to make sure everyone comes out of 436 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: their healthy. But I think each team is different and 437 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: I completely understand the Cincinnati situation because Joe Mixon has 438 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: taken a lot of hits this year. I don't think 439 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: he's going to play. If you're Jamar Chase, I mean, 440 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: it's nice to get it reps, but you got to 441 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: make sure you protect your investments. Which you don't want 442 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: to have happen. Is rest lead to rust and too 443 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: much rest to where it takes you a while to 444 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: get back, and then all of a sudden, that time 445 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: is the playoffs and there is no time to get ready. 446 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: You have to land on your feet and be ready. 447 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: So that's the other thing. It's it's easy all the 448 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: rest you'll be fine. Like well, you take a step back, 449 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: and these guys are creatures of habit. They go through 450 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: a jel and you interrupt that schedule and then all 451 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: of a sudden it throws everything off. Yeah. I mean, 452 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Rodgers, they have the number one seed, 453 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: they're playing the Lions. I wouldn't. I mean, unless he's 454 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: got some incentives in his contract, and I'm sure you 455 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: know he's probably hit all of those already. I don't 456 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: know the purpose if they're number one seed, But the 457 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: problem is the next time they play. It's gonna be 458 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: a few weeks and so guys will get their four 459 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: days off and then you're not You don't know even 460 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: know who your opponent is until after the weekend, and 461 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: I guess we'll see how they play in that first 462 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: quarter or you know when they in the same thing. 463 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: But the Chiefs if they're the number one seat, so 464 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: I think everything's a little I think you gotta look 465 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: at the team where they are and who you're trying 466 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: to protect going forward. When it comes to the post seeds, 467 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I would not sacrifice and just 468 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: to get a division title if I'm gonna lose players, 469 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: and not saying that as we can't predict that stuff, 470 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: but I'm an agreement with you, and make sure the 471 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: guys that you need in the season, Robert Alford and 472 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: Chase Emmons, make sure they're ready to get ready in 473 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: that wild card weekend. By the way, I do not 474 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: believe for one minute that Kingsbury will not have someone. 475 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: It might not be himself, but he was asked earlier 476 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: will he be monitoring the forty nine ers RAMS game, 477 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: and he said, no, we won't have anyone monitoring the game. 478 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: I don't buy that for a minute, there is going 479 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: to be someone in the coach's box that is paying 480 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: attention because of what you said, all of a sudden, 481 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: how well you're playing or whatever. And then you know, 482 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: you get to the third quarter, fourth quarter, and all 483 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden, maybe Kyler Murray sits and you see 484 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy, or you see Trace McSorley if he's active, 485 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: or if James Connor is playing, he's only playing a half. 486 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: But someone I repeat, someone within this organization on Sunday 487 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: with an ear to the head coach is going to 488 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: be saying this is what's going on. I might not 489 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: be quarterly updates, but hey, come third quarter, three minutes ago, 490 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: Hey the Rams are leading by twenty eight points. It's 491 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: not looking good. Okay, now we back off. But I 492 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: do think you have to, especially with those daughters offense 493 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: and defense and special teams, at least get them on 494 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: the field and treat it like not a preseason game, 495 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: but it's a regular game until maybe you shorten it 496 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: purposely to three quarters or three quarters in six minutes 497 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Yeah, and from a player's perspective, 498 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: I would not focus on that. Let let other people 499 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: now again when they're going for halftime. I'm sure they 500 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: have TV's in there. I mean, maybe they're off there 501 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: and halftime because they're they're trying to focus in, you know, 502 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: they go in their different position groups. But yeah, I 503 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: mean it's it's it's it's a scenario where normally during 504 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: the time out, don't they show the early scores in 505 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: the stadium. There are I'm trying to think how many, 506 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: but there's at least one, maybe two updates as far 507 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: as what's happening across the national football right. But I 508 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna be getting like updates every ten minutes. No, no, 509 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: but people have their phones. I'll say this though, if 510 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: you listen to Day passed Ron Wolfley, you can better 511 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: be sure that Passion wolf will be updating what's going 512 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: on at SOFI Stadium. Yeah, I mean that's I mean, 513 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: we can't they can hide from it. We're not gonna 514 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about on the press box. I'll 515 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: been mentioning it on social media. I mean why not. 516 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: I mean you have to because and that's the fun 517 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: of it. Now. The negative and all of this is 518 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: the fact that the Cardinals don't control their own destiny 519 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: with respects to winning the division. So and that plays 520 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: the factor. And because if maybe it was hey, you win, 521 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: you're the division champs, maybe this week is treated a 522 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: little bit differently because now it's on your shoulders and 523 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: you win, you host a playoff game. And is as 524 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: bad as this team has played recently at State Farm Stadium, 525 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: I will take a home playoff game versus going on 526 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: the road. It lessens the air, travel, everything else. You know, 527 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: this team doesn't play bad at home. It hasn't looked good, 528 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: but this team plays much better on the road. But 529 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: if you're gonna ask me, give me a home playoff game. Yeah, 530 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: and they have an opportunity to get to four and 531 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: four there. Yes, now we all know the NFL. They 532 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: have a double hunter on Saturday, Kansas City Denver and 533 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: then Dallas Philadelphia, and then you got a bunch of 534 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: morning games. But it's interesting at four to twenty five 535 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: Seattle at Arizona, New Orleans at Atlanta, Jets at Buffalo, 536 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: Frisco at Rams, Nongan at Miami Carolina at Tampa. I'm 537 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: sure there's other games like Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the morning. 538 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: And you know, Tennessee has to win obviously to probably 539 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: win the division. Colts are trying to get in. But 540 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: it's just fascinating at the four twenty five kicks. There's 541 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: so much on the line. I mean, there's there's all day, 542 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: it really is. But some teams have been a limited 543 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: like Detroit. They're playing Green Bay, Houston's playing Tennessee, Indianapolis 544 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: is playing Jacksonville. Minnesota in Chicago are playing each other, 545 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: the Giants and the Washington football team. But when you 546 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: get in the afternoon, Buffalo is still trying to lock 547 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: up the AFC East and they got the Jets, we 548 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: know the Rams in forty nine ers. New England's in 549 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: Miami obviously division game, and then like you talked about, 550 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: you know, Tampa against Carolina. Tampa wants to be a 551 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: higher seat. They didn't want to drop and have the 552 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys pass them. By the way with the forty nine ers, 553 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: it's very simple for them when and they're in now 554 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: they can back themselves into the postseason. If the Saints 555 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: lose at the Falcons, and you touched on it, all 556 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: these games are kicking off at two twenty five hours 557 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: at a time, and this coming from San Francisco head 558 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: coach Kyle Shanahan will not make a public declaration as 559 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: far as who will be starting at quarterback, Trey Lance 560 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: or Jimmy Garoppolo, So, according to reports coming out of 561 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: San Francisco, he will not make his decision known publicly 562 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: before kickoff. Maybe we'll see both. There you go, you 563 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: keep me, keep the Rams gissing. Maybe there is a 564 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: tray Lance. I I love the fact now for the 565 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: Niners to win, they're in I mean versus winning and 566 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: sit by the phone or wait, that's awesome, because I 567 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: mean they are literally playing for something and naked knock, 568 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, give another blemish to the Rams and we 569 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: would send them a bouquet. Yes, yes, we would, Big 570 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers fans. This week Cardinals Covered two presented 571 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: by Honday, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Wednesday, we 572 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: hear from quarterback Kyler Murray, and as much as there 573 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: was talk about the playoffs and the Seahawks, I singled 574 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: out one particular aspect because it was something that I 575 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: wanted to dive into on today's show, and that was 576 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: the red zone and the fact that this team, for 577 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: whatever reason right now is having difficultly scoring inside the 578 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: twenty yard line two to four on Sunday. And it's 579 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: good when the quarterback comes out and says, we kicked 580 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: too many field goals in the red zone, and it 581 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: was something that this team did not have a lot 582 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: of issues with earlier in the year. But now over 583 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: the past four games, and remember DeAndre Hopkins has not 584 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: been on the field for three of them, but in 585 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: the past four games, Cardinals are five of fourteen inside 586 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: the red zone. Now they've won two of those three games, 587 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: but you can't come away with three points and the 588 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: two areas or the two red zone mistakes, I wouldn't 589 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: say mistakes. Two empty possessions inside the red zone on 590 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: Sunday was the first quarter when you had first and 591 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: goal and the second and goal at the one when 592 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: you didn't run it. Now you run a quick slant 593 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: to aj Green batted up in the air that nearly 594 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: was an interception. So hopefully quarterback, head coach whoever made 595 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: that decision to throw it again, Cliff calls the plays, 596 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: but Kyler checks out to some that doesn't happen again. 597 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: And we talked about it on Monday because second and 598 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: goal from the one with or without James Connor, Chase Edmonds. 599 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: You're run the football, whether you're running between the tackles 600 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: or your bootleg Kyle the Murray out that if there's 601 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: another goal to ghost situation from the one or two 602 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: yard line, I don't want to see a pass play. No, 603 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't. And I go back to that Rams game 604 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: when they were around the goal line and you know, 605 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if he telegraphed he gotta make a 606 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: quick throw. The ball was tipped by Aaron Donald, Ernest 607 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: Shoon's dropped the route and Zach Ertz. You know they 608 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: targeted Zach erst On there. I do think you know 609 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: when out having Connor and the Hop and I know 610 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: Hop spent out for a while, but they have had 611 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: a lot of their red zone touchdowns. But doesn't mean 612 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: Murray can't fake it and then do what he does 613 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: when he can just basically put the ball in the 614 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: air at the five yard line and walk to the 615 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: pylon because he has the addibility. But I'm with you. 616 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: I didn't like the fact when they got the ball 617 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: back at four minutes the first play was a pass. 618 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: But you know cliffs are gonna be aggressive. But also 619 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: you have to know down in distance that you know, 620 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: versus they don't have timeouts and we're just gonna run 621 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: the clock out. But after that they definitely ran the football. 622 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: Ertz made a nice catch though on the when they 623 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: were trying to oh the running the clock out the 624 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: in the four minute drill. Yeah yeah, So I mean 625 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: you just can't because Dallas things are going to run 626 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: the ball too. But I mean that's football, like you 627 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: right there, just go down, so you know, you can 628 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: see why they did that. But for the most part, 629 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start on first town and run the football. Yeah. 630 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: Speaking of Zach Ertz, the second empty possession inside the 631 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: red zone with respect to scoring a touchdown on Sunday 632 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: third quarter Cardinals third and five at the Dallas eight. 633 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: Did not mind a pass play there. But Kyler Murray sometimes, 634 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: and this is this I think we all have to 635 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: live with because as great as a quarterback as he 636 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: is with his arm and his legs, he's going to 637 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: make the spectacular plays sometimes look routine. He's also going 638 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: to make those same spectacular plays and then you're looking 639 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: at it and going, well, why did you do that? 640 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: Because this happened. As a result, he's pressured by Michael 641 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: Parsons back pedals, and I don't know if there's a 642 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league that off his back foot more 643 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: than Kyler Murray does. But he threw into double coverage 644 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: looking for zach Ertz and that ball should have been 645 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: picked off by jay Ron Curse. So you nearly had 646 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: two red zone interceptions. Again, not so much the decision making, 647 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: but sometimes it is the decision on what you're doing 648 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: on that particular play. Didn't mind the past play, but 649 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: throw the ball away. Don't try to be a hero. 650 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: He puts that ball where it needs to be nine 651 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: times out of ten, but those one time or two times, 652 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: you're like, that's just not a smart play. But he 653 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: believes in his own ability that he can make that throw. 654 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: He can make that play, and he's confident in his 655 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: receivers that they can make that catch. Sometimes, though, I 656 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: think the risk reward he tries to not a are 657 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: on the side of caution to be pushes the envelope 658 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: a little bit too much for me. Yeah, I will 659 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: say this though, if they if they're going with that 660 00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: zero blitz, I mean he's connected with kursh and kur. Now, 661 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: the fact is you cannot underthrow that, And you're right, 662 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't throw off his back foot, but I think 663 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: he gives him enough air to where you can go 664 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: out there and get it. Either your receiver gets it 665 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: or it's incomplete correct. And that's when he's done that 666 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: a few times. And I'm with you. I just think 667 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: we got to take the good with the bat and 668 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: hopefully more good. I like what Chandler Jones was saying yesterday. 669 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: He's he's vocal in that locker room. I mean, you 670 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,479 Speaker 1: can hear him and he's not afraid to call guys 671 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: out and it's nothing personal, but he expects you to 672 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: play at a high standard. And I like what he says. 673 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: We all know that having Rodney Hudson back and having me, 674 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: but he said, listen, I trust these guys, like they 675 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: were asked, what about Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward if 676 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 1: they had to play this week? I trust those guys. 677 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: But I like the fact that he's barking Moore and 678 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: he's more vocal. Is he ever going to be a 679 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: great leader. I don't know, but he's matured and it's 680 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: not like he's doing, you know, embarrassing guys. I think 681 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: that did happen, possibly with the Max Garcia Um. I 682 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: think he's learned there's a time and a place for that. 683 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: But the fact is that in practice he will call 684 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: guys out and that's accountability. Like I'm out here doing 685 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: my job. There's no eighty percent here. I know. We're 686 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: not supposed to hit each other. We're supposed to stay 687 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, stay off the ground. But listen when when 688 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: when he plays like he should and like he did, players, 689 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: players gravitate to that kind of stuff. You don't want 690 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: to see a guy go to the sidelines with his 691 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: head down. So I like the fact that he's matured 692 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: to where he's not afraid. This is his team and 693 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: they all know it. Christian Kirk mentioned that Murray demands 694 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: excellence out of himself and out of his teammates, and 695 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: if it's not excellent, then yeah, you're going to get 696 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: barked AT's i e. Antoine Wesley, Josh Jones. And then 697 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: how do you respond? And then once you respond and 698 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: show you one you can handle the barking, and then 699 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: you improve your play, you're gonna get the congratulations. You're 700 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,959 Speaker 1: gonna get the problem. So you're gonna get the praise 701 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: and then with Wesley, you're gonna get more chances. Yeah, 702 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: and he basically said keep coming to me and he 703 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: did so. Yeah, Like I said, I know, Kyler. You know, 704 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: I was critical of some of the body language on 705 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: the sidelines. I know, because he's such a fierce competitor 706 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: and he wants you to, like Kirk said, you know, 707 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 1: he preaches excellency. He wants you to, you know, give 708 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 1: your best, and I think they are. But you know, 709 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't have patience for like mental airs and stuff that, 710 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, because he's really the first guy. And I 711 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: think it was Super Bowl we just talked about the 712 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: little things going you know, five wins and eight wins. 713 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: He said, we're gonna do the little things. And when 714 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 1: they do the little things, they're a really good football team. 715 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: They don't beat themselves. It was an interview with Pat 716 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: McAfee and I don't know if he made any other 717 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: appearances during the Super Bowl week, but you're right, it 718 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: was the first time postseason in which everyone started, or 719 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: not everyone, but he brought up the word little things 720 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: and what this team needed to do to make sure 721 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: that they were able to get back and suffer like 722 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: they did down the stretch last season, and this team 723 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: is concentrating on the little things. Now. There's still little 724 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: things that are popping up. Yeah, but I don't think 725 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: nearly as many as it were this time a year ago. No. 726 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: And I asked him, I said, you've been harping um 727 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: since last year about the little things and here you 728 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: guys go out and you're on the running football. You know, 729 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: you guys played complimentary football. You play with the lead. 730 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: And he said, yeah, but he said, we love, we 731 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: love some stuff on the field again. You know, they 732 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: say it every single week. I mean, I'd like to 733 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: see this team play a clean game. You never it's 734 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: never gonna be perfect, though. I mean, you're talking about 735 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: twenty two players running after each other eleven and eleven. 736 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: It's it's that's the human element. Um, that's the reality 737 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: of sports. I mean, you just don't you think, you know, 738 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: you really don't know what's going to happen. Cardinals Cover 739 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: two presented by Hounday, probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. 740 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to happen this weekend. The 741 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals host the Seahawks on Sunday, January nineteen twenty five, 742 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: is the kickoff nine thirty am. Pregame coverage ends first 743 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: time for Kyler Murray to face the Seahawks this season. 744 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: Earlier in the year, that was one of the three 745 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: games that Kyler misst and Colt McCoy was very, very 746 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: good against that Seattle defense, which mj these numbers. They 747 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: are thirtieth overall, number eighteen against the run, but number 748 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: two and rushing yards per play, number thirty one against 749 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: the pass, they don't get to the quarterback only twenty 750 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: nine sacks, fourth fewest in the league. However, they're only 751 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: allowing twenty one points a game. Their number six in 752 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: the red zone. They're pretty good on third down, very 753 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 1: good on fourth down. It seems to me that it's 754 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: the ultimate bend but don't break defense, especially when you 755 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: get inside the twenty yard line. I'll say this though, 756 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: I think their secondary has played well, maybe since Week 757 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: five or six. I mean, they went out and made 758 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: a trade for Cindy Jones. He's kind of been a 759 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: guy digs. They brought a guy in from San Francisco, 760 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: and the fact is they lost Jamal Adams. I mean, 761 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is you know a lot of people questioning 762 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: you know it was it worth two first round picks? 763 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: He's a box safety, can he cover? But I really 764 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: think it's you know, they're getting enough little pressure up front, 765 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 1: but their secondary is a lot better than I initially thought. 766 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: And you could see that, you know, just based on 767 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,760 Speaker 1: what they're doing upfront. If those guys can hold coverage, 768 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna make it easier for the front seven. But 769 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: I think their secondaries definitely improved from the last time 770 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: the Cardinals played him. Absolutely. Colt McCoy three twenty eight 771 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: yards passing two touchdowns. But that's a defense that has 772 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: kind of improved vastly. And you mentioned no Jamal Adams. 773 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: They don't have their rookie cornerback Trey Brown, the fourth 774 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: round pick out of Oklahoma. He suffered a season ending 775 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: knee injury in the first game against the Cardinals, and 776 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: we're wondering if they're leading tackler Bobby Wagner is going 777 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: to play this week. He suffered a spraying knee on 778 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,720 Speaker 1: the game's first play against the Lions. Now, early reports 779 00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: were that he was definitely out. Head coach Pete Carroll 780 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 1: has not quite gone that far, but a veteran playing 781 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: in what for the Seahawks would be a meaningless game. 782 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. 783 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: But if you don't have a Bobby Wagner, you don't 784 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: have a Jamal Adams. It is going to be a 785 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: different looking defense that the Cardinals have seen. And also 786 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: Kyle Murray his first time against the Seahawks tea. Yeah, 787 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,919 Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to John Boyle. I said, 788 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 1: it's gonna be weird if I want to see Boby 789 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: Wagon out there. I mean, he's been a fixture, and 790 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: they went out and got that Brooks from Texas Tech, 791 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 1: and I think he's done a really good job filling 792 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: in for kJ right, but Bobby kind of like Jordan 793 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: Hicks was for us for the last couple of years. 794 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: I mean, you just automatically see him out there now, 795 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: you know. I don't know if he's got any incentives. 796 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: Every year he has over one hundred and fifty tackles. 797 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: It seems like I'm maybe being a xaggerain. But for me, 798 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: if he's got an MCL or it's a sprain or 799 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: a PCL, I don't I don't see the risk. I wouldn't. 800 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 1: I don't. I would not risk it. But again, and 801 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 1: he's he's kind of the glue of that defense. He 802 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: gets everyone lined up. And I think the Brooks kid 803 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: from Texas Tech um, I think he's done a nice job, 804 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: but he's not Bobby Wagner. Well, Jordan Brooks had a 805 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: game high fifteen tackles against the Cardinals. Earlier. You've got 806 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: Quandre Digs in the secondary, five interceptions, seven passes defense, 807 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: DJ Read two interceptions, a team best ten passes defense. 808 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: So they do have some playmakers, but when you put 809 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: them all together, I just don't think it's been enough 810 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks this season. And it's why they're six 811 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,359 Speaker 1: and ten. Yeah. And if I want to say though, 812 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: the reason why they put up that fifty burgh is 813 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: because they force some turnovers. I think they may had 814 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 1: to pick six in that game, correct one of the corners. Yeah, 815 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: so that's but again, if the Cardinals can run the 816 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: football play action, then you got to utilize you know 817 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. If the Cardinals couldn't run the 818 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: football and then utilize play action, you're gonna have to 819 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 1: test that secondary, and it will be a good test, 820 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: an excellent test for that Seahawks secondary going up against 821 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: the Murray. What we talked about going into the Cowboys game, 822 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: their four game winnings trick. What quarterbacks did they face? Well, now, 823 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Seahawks are facing Kyle Murray 824 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 1: for the first time this season. What do they see 825 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: on film? How much of an improvement has Kyler Murray 826 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: made in the eyes of the Seahawks defense and head 827 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: coach Pete Carroll. Again, it won it's gonna be odd. 828 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they've already minus the legion of boom. I 829 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: mean there's Bobby Wagner's the last man standing and he 830 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: might not be on that football field on Sunday. Yeah, 831 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: you know again, Ken Norton has been in that system 832 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: for a while, so you know, just like anything else, 833 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to rely on some some other players. 834 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, you don't replace Bobby Wagner. But Jordan Brooks 835 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: is that Jordan Brooks Brooks, I mean I know that Cliff. 836 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: He was at Texas Tech and we always kind of 837 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: look at the combine, this guy that was a really 838 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 1: good draft pick. I mean, I think them forced them 839 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: not to bring back kJ right and he was a 840 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: free agent and for a long long time, it's, uh, 841 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, you get that opportunity, what do you do 842 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 1: with that opportunity? And he's long, I mean, he's he's 843 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: going to be a good player. I mean, I don't 844 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: know if he'll ever replace Bobby Wagner just from the 845 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, in the in the in the All Pros, 846 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 1: but now all you have to have a guy like 847 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: that in the middle, and he's probably there Isaiah Simmons 848 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: when you talk fifteen tackles. So we'll see what awaits 849 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,760 Speaker 1: this Cardinals offense on Sunday. Much more on this matchup 850 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: as the week progresses. We look forward as we always do, 851 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 1: to hearing from defensive coordinator Vans Joseph what will he 852 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: do against Russell Wilson for a second time? But really 853 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: I think now a first time against a healthy Russell 854 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: Wilson who was playing his second game after finger surgery 855 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: and was a little rusty. But we'll can get into 856 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: that on our next show. Yeah, I talked to a 857 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 1: scout who he was busy, and I didn't want to 858 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: take too much of his time because he literally is 859 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 1: scouting five teams that they could possibly play. The scouting 860 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: department are right now, yes, take out the Packers, but 861 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: depending they have to prepare. You just can't, you know, 862 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: wake up on our figure it out on Sunday night. 863 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: So the scouts are working around, they're they're studying, scouting 864 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,399 Speaker 1: five different teams. But he was at the game. He said, 865 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,399 Speaker 1: that's the best skin the Seahawks that played this year. 866 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 1: And he said, Russell Wilson, I think it was a 867 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,879 Speaker 1: second game back when the Cardinals played him his second 868 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: game back, he said, he looks completely different. And DK 869 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and then the tight end. So yeah, 870 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,560 Speaker 1: and they're running the football. I mean, Chris Carson couldn't 871 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: stay healthy. Rashad Penny first round pick, and so you know, again, 872 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: anytime you talk about the Seahawks beating X, you know 873 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: the Lions, and I'm like, okay, well we lost to 874 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 1: the Lions, you have to say, well it was the Lions, 875 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: but they they were much better team. Wasn't even close 876 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 1: when they were playing the Lions last week. Yeah, fifty 877 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: one points the Seahawks put up on the Lions. And 878 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: that's what's up next for this Arizona Cardinals defense. On 879 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,399 Speaker 1: that note, we will put a lid on this edition 880 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 1: of Cardinals Covered two presented by Hunday proud partner of 881 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals.
