Speaker 2: Here we go, one hand to catch it a touchdown?

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Oh baby, I'll fail.

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: Here's Craiggrioloud, Paul Calvic, and nine year NFL veteran Rob Frederickson.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 4: So, for the first time, gentlemen since January, we have

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: a football game to discuss here on a Tuesday. Okay,

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 4: it's preseason, and I'll borrow the line or blatantly steal

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 4: the line and from the gentlemen, to my rights, preseason

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 4: games don't count, but they certainly do matter. That's why

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 4: the Cardinals went out and beat the Kansas City Chiefs

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 4: twenty to seventeen Saturday night from State Farm Stadium alongside

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: Polly play by play, Rob Frederickson joining me here the

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 4: two of us. Rob had the chance to discuss this

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: on postgame on Cardinal Talk after listening to Polly play

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: by play along with a. Q. Shipley for the better

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 4: part of what almost three hours.

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, we guys mentally equipped to actually do hosts the

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 5: show after that. So it's good. You know, you guys

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 5: are regular season ready when it comes to your mental fortitude.

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 5: That's good to see.

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: Okay, big takeaways Number one, no injuries, No significant injuries.

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: Christian Jones did leave the game with the knee issue.

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 4: Head coach Jonathan Gannon mentioned that on Tuesday morning he's

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: going to miss some time. Didn't specify how much time,

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 4: But Rob, that's what coaches first and foremost. Yes, we

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: get out with relatively some bruises. Okay, now we can

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 4: evaluate the tape.

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's certainly the number one priority is to come

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 6: come away from these preseason games without injuries. And then

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 6: you're playing your starters, right, and that's something a little

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 6: different over the last couple of seasons. So you're all

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 6: of a sudden as a coaching staff, you're you're holding

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 6: your crossing your fingers and holding your breath a little bit.

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 6: But I think it was good to see the starters

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 6: get out there and experience what it's like to actually

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 6: play a game a lot different than practice.

46
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 5: And you know what, I do extel rob about this,

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: but you know, Okay, you can go full pads, full

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 5: contact in practice, but you're not going to replicate tackling

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 5: to the ground. You're not going to replicate the desperation

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 5: you see by dudes on special teams who aren't just

51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: looking to tackle you, they're looking to destroy you, to

52
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 5: put a big hit on film. So when Greg Dorsch

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 5: loses the opening, it's probably because he had not felt

54
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: the velocity the intensity of that sort of physicality until

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 5: that very moment. So to me, all the starters playing

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: and getting some reps, there were some good, there was

57
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: some bad, but just feeling what a real true football game,

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 5: the intensity thereof, to me, that's really valuable as you

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: get ready for Week one.

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 6: And there's situations that come up in a game that

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 6: you can't replicate in practice, like the Greg Doors fumble

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 6: on opening kickoff. I guarantee the defense was sitting over

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 6: there drinking a gatorade chilling, thinking no big deal, and

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 6: then all of a sudden they're calling you. They're screaming

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 6: at you to get out on the field. It's a

66
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 6: quick change. How do you react? Those are things that

67
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 6: you can't replicate in practice.

68
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: Well, you bring up the tackling to the ground. It's

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 4: something I'd not considered. I don't believe JG has been

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: asked about unless you had a chance on Cardinals' game plan.

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: But I didn't see a lot of mistackles from the

72
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: Cardinals defense. But that's the one thing this team does not.

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: They practice their mode of play, but it's not bringing

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: them all the way to the ground. It's the chest up,

75
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: make sure your head is up. The technique is preached

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: and practice, but not the step by step going all

77
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: the way to the ground. And I don't know. Again,

78
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: you can't simulate it. And I know that's when injuries

79
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: sometimes do happen in practice. But you know, the preseason game.

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 4: Maybe it is a good thing that we saw the

81
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: starters on Saturday night.

82
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 5: And I think I said this on the air after

83
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 5: we interviewed Jonathan Gannon from the locker room with AQ Shipley.

84
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 5: I believe it's the first time in ten years at least,

85
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 5: we do not ask a question about tackling. Every other

86
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 5: year it was warranted, not this year. I don't think

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 5: there was egregious you know, tackling or any sort of

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 5: blatant misstackles out there. I guess I'm going to attribute

89
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 5: it a you have a lot of veteran guys on

90
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 5: defensiveleaves to start the game, be more friction. You have

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 5: had more physicality. But I think you see a lot

92
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 5: of the drills they do, and whether it's using some

93
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 5: of the Plotate balls, which I know Wolf is over

94
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 5: there and he's like, what's the deal with the Plotta ball,

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 5: But it does help you get in the correct position,

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 5: so so you're not getting roasted in space, right, and

97
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 5: you're not so you don't fall subject to maybe some

98
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 5: of the moves by an offensive player. But yeah, for

99
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 5: the first time in a long time, I didn't think

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 5: it was real liability.

101
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, not a lot of physical mistakes, mistackles miss you know,

102
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 6: but there there were some assignment mistakes and you expect that.

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 6: The first preseason game you had some mis blocking assignments

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 6: from the offensive line that you know, almost got Jacoby

105
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 6: Brissette seriously injured. And uh, and you had some some

106
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 6: lack of communication or miscommunication amongst the linebacker corps on

107
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 6: some on some pass coverage responsibilities that resulted in some

108
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 6: big plays. But you're gonna have those in your first

109
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 6: preseason season game, and this week is really about correcting

110
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 6: those mistakes going into second preseason game and really learning

111
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 6: from those mistakes.

112
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: Well, let's take you back to Saturday night postgame, the

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 4: Cardinals locker room show. Head coach Jonathan Gannon on what

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: he thought of that first preseason game.

115
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 7: Honestly, our resilience. You know, the game didn't start great,

116
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 7: that's for sure, turning it over and opening kickoff and

117
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 7: then them scoring in two or three plays whatever it was.

118
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 7: But then we came back and did some really good things.

119
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 7: I thought the one offense moved it pretty good, and no,

120
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 7: we had an interception, but then after that, I thought

121
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 7: they responded the right way. I thought we controlled the

122
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 7: line of scrimmage. You know, we lost a takeaway battle

123
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 7: three two. Typically you don't overcome that, but a lot

124
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 7: of guys stepped up makes in play. So I would

125
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 7: just say, honestly, resilience, and I thought our motive play

126
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 7: was on display. I thought there was some good hitting

127
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 7: and I really think, you know, the offensive defensive line

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 7: did a pretty good job of controlling the line of scrimmage.

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: You could not have asked for a worse start, and

130
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 4: thankfully it was the preseason, but you turned the ball

131
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 4: over on your first two possessions. You have three penalties

132
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 4: in the first eighteen minutes. Now, some of that is

133
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: new players and getting back into the thinking of Okay,

134
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: game action, what can I and what can I not

135
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 4: get away with? I e. Will Johnson, don't grab the

136
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 4: waste of the receiver in the end zone. Some of

137
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: those little things technique issues that you were just talking about,

138
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 4: rob but stuff that you can go back to and say,

139
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: all right, we like this, we need to improve on that,

140
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 4: and this is what we expect now going forward, beginning

141
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 4: this week in Denver.

142
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, the most important thing in the game of football

143
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 6: is the football, right and you saw the ball on

144
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 6: the ground three times, the special teams to kickoff returns

145
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 6: and a muffed punt. You just can't have that right

146
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 6: and so in the interception, you know, so the ball,

147
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: the all the turnover issues and the and the ball

148
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 6: on the ground. That's that's something that obviously has to

149
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 6: be emphasized, and it is, but that you know, when

150
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 6: you're doing it in practice, it's different than when it

151
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 6: happens in a game, and so that that's something that

152
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 6: has to be forefront on everyone's mind.

153
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think were there were three plays right, the interception,

154
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 5: the fumbled kickoff to start the game, which then we

155
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: only saw Patrick Malons for forty eight seconds. I had

156
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 5: all these great Holy can only stats on Patrick Mahomes,

157
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: couldn't even get into the broadcast, couldn't even comment on

158
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: Travis Kelcey and Happy Gilmour too. I mean, my goodness,

159
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 5: they're on there on two plays and he's got some

160
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 5: flower season. He's dancing on the sideline to the Cardinals game.

161
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: Ops. The other one was the third.

162
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: And one the Cardinals were unable to pick up resulted

163
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 5: in a.

164
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 2: Field goal attempt.

165
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 5: To me, you know that that's a moment, that's where

166
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 5: this offense can get better. For as good as this

167
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 5: team has been for two straight years, and running the ball,

168
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: it's the third and one, it's the fourth and one,

169
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 5: it's the got to have it. We're gonna pound it.

170
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 5: You know, here comes the pound game. Cramitt vertical and

171
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 5: so to me, man, I'd love for that to be

172
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 5: more of an automatic when it comes to the run game.

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: And then the regular season, do you go for it

174
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 4: on fourth down in that situation versus kicking a field goal.

175
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: So look, we saw the starters the first team offense

176
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: on the field for eighteen snaps. The most of the

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 4: first team defense was out on the field for eleven

178
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: total snaps. Something different, as we touched on, have not

179
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: seen the starters play in the preseason under head coach

180
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannett. For Kyle the Murray, it was good that

181
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: he and the rest of the first team were on

182
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: the field.

183
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 8: Not having played in the preseason in a long time.

184
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 8: You kind of just come to a realization that it's

185
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 8: kind of a I mean, you go into it with

186
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 8: a positive outlook, you know, mindset, and get the most

187
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 8: out of it. You know, go out there, execute, get

188
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 8: a feel for the game. You know, you got to

189
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 8: get into a flow. Things like that. I think we

190
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 8: did that obviously. You know, you throw an interception, and

191
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 8: again I think that's something that you can't replicate in practice,

192
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 8: moving around at the speed that you're moving at, going

193
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 8: left to right lateral, having guys move and bodies moving.

194
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 8: I have fun. I had a lot of fun out there.

195
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 4: That to me that postgame comment, and we'll hear more

196
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: from Kyler in our next segment when we talk about

197
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: the offense. But the interception and Okay, in practice, you

198
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: know the defender behind you, Rob, Yeah, they're chasing, but

199
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 4: it's my teammate. They're not going to catch me and

200
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: they're not going to bring them to the ground. Preseason, now,

201
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, maybe you have that mentality still. Okay,

202
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: and then I'm gonna throw it, but I don't really

203
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: have enough air under it. I'm kind of aiming it.

204
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 4: And in the regular season, I need to make sure

205
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: based off what I just did in the preseason doesn't

206
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 4: repeat itself Week one.

207
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know that you can look back at

208
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 6: that play and diagnose that we can get into the

209
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 6: weeds on it, but you know it wasn't a good

210
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 6: well thrown ball. It's the decision making. To me, that's

211
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 6: the bigger really of importance, is just the play call itself.

212
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 6: You know, it's preseason for coaches too. I bet Drew

213
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 6: Petson would love to have that play call back. You're

214
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 6: inside the red zone and you're running a layered route

215
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 6: with three different layers, a deep in in a middle,

216
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 6: and an underneath flat route. It's compressed, right. You don't

217
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 6: have the you don't have the depth to really run

218
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 6: that type of route concept, and so the defenders aren't

219
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 6: putting any kind of stress. So they're just kind of

220
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 6: chilling out, hanging out there and reading Kyler's eyes, and

221
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 6: you know, they made a great play. But you know,

222
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 6: I think the play call number one was something that

223
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 6: probably Drew Peton would want back, but Kyler too, you know,

224
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 6: made He's the one that makes the decision, and it's

225
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 6: something that you're right, You're glad that it happens in preseason,

226
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 6: but you just can't have those during the regular season.

227
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: We'll get into the offense here in a little bit,

228
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 5: but as far as Kyler goes, let's not minimize his importance.

229
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 5: He's the highest paid player on the team. He's the

230
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 5: most important position player in sports and NFL quarterback, and

231
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: when he was playing really well, the Cardinals were in

232
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: first place.

233
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 6: A year ago.

234
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 5: He had three interceptions at the by coming out of

235
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 5: the by eight interceptions when they went two and five,

236
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 5: So he cannot pick up where he left off the

237
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 5: end of last year. I don't think there's any reason

238
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 5: to think so, especially if Marvin Arrison Junior elevates his

239
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 5: game and you have two big time targets, plus you

240
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 5: have two big time running backs. But there needs to

241
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: be a balance. I think of Kyler ball security versus

242
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: playing free, letting it rip going out there. And you know,

243
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 5: earlier in career, maybe you know there was there was

244
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 5: this sort of maybe he wasn't thinking as much as

245
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: he was playing. And Zi's learned the game and the

246
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: coverages and he will tell the media like you did recently,

247
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 5: there isn't a single coverage he hasn't seen before. Okay,

248
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: but still have that bravado to the game that really

249
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 5: made him an MVP candidate his first you know, two

250
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 5: of those first three years.

251
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: And what do we say in practice? Now is the

252
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: time to experiment, preseason experiment. Okay, this play call, well

253
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 4: not going to work inside the red zone at least

254
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: against that particular defense or that defensive scheme. And then yeah,

255
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 4: do I throw underneath the Trey coming across the middle,

256
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 4: or do we go over the top to Marvin coming

257
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: across the middle, or do I keep it myself and

258
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: try to run it in in that situation. So look,

259
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 4: great learning experience for everyone. And now it's on to

260
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 4: Denver a joint practice on Thursday and then a preseason

261
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,120

287
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: of that place preseason, Let's have it. I mean more highlights,

288
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: more better if you will, let's have it, okay. Amri

289
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: de Mericato, the ultimate Gamer. And there's just something about

290
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 5: guys misjudge his speed. He gets angles on guys, he

291
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 5: gets past guys. You know, I have it somewhere in

292
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 5: one of my sheets. He has three big play touchdowns

293
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 5: in the regular season in his two years. Remember the

294
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 5: big touchdown run against the Niners, big touchdown against the Bears.

295
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 5: I mean, there's just something about him. I'm not sure

296
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 5: what it is, but guys misjudge his speed.

297
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 6: There were three or four mistackles on that pass, just

298
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 6: bad angles. Yeah, you're right. I think they totally misjudged

299
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 6: his speed. And you know, de Mercado, he's a third

300
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 6: down guy known for his pass blocking pass protection, but

301
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 6: he can be a weapon in the passing game.

302
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: That was his first snap of the game, coming on

303
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 4: the field for a third and eight, talking about the

304
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: third down running back, stays in there and then flares

305
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 4: out and it's a running back screen and he just

306
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 4: kind of takes it the rest of the way. And

307
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: his comments after the ball game I thought were interesting,

308
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 4: telling Aaron Darren Urban on Easycardinals dot Com, I'm not

309
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 4: that guy. I need more carries. I need more carries.

310
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 4: So he's not that me, me me guy. And he

311
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 4: just sounds very appreciative of any opportunity he gets and Paul,

312
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: whenever he's on the field, good things tend to happen.

313
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 4: But he is the forgotten guy in that running back room,

314
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 4: behind James Trey, even DJ Dallas, who's your kickoff specialist,

315
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 4: and then Michael Carter who's got the s and the

316
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: shiftingess in the backfield. Lamar just he's just that guy

317
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: that you could you count on first and foremost, and

318
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: I think that's the big thing with his coaches, can

319
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 4: you be trusted and they trust number thirty one.

320
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 5: Well, when it comes to pass protection, he's the best

321
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 5: They have him and James Connor, but they like to

322
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: give Connor a blow on third and obvious passing situations.

323
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 5: They like the third down back concept this time a

324
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 5: year ago, You're right, Craig, I know I was guilty

325
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: of like, well, there's five running backs for four spots. Sorry, Amar,

326
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 5: you're the odd man out. You're not beating out Michael

327
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 5: Carter wrong, because they need him in that role. They

328
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 5: trust him in that role, and he appreciates his NFL career.

329
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 5: He said the same thing to Darren that he told

330
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 5: us in the Big Red Rage last year. He had

331
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 5: a year to go at TCU and he thought he

332
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 5: was done. You know, he has a master's degree. He's like,

333
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: I don't have a football future. They had a change

334
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 5: in coaches. He got a second chance. He proved himself.

335
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 5: He had a ridiculous semi final playoff game at State

336
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: Farm Stadium for TCU, got an invite to Cardinals camp

337
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 5: as an undrafted rookie free agent.

338
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: So far, the rest is history.

339
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, The last part of that quote on Easycardinals dot

340
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 4: Com honestly, I didn't think I'd be here. And I

341
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 4: read that and I was like, wait, meaning like here,

342
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 4: like in this camp, like he was the odd man out.

343
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 10: No.

344
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 4: I went back and listened to the audio, meaning no,

345
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 4: in the NFL, here in this spot going into year three.

346
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 4: He didn't even think he was gonna have year one

347
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 4: in the NFL. Yet given an opportunity, you make the

348
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 4: most of it. It goes back to I don't care

349
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 4: how you got here, how you got added to the

350
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 4: ninety man roster, but what do you do when you

351
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 4: get that opportunity? Can you make the most of it

352
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 4: and wind up on the fifty three man roster? And

353
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 4: Amrio Demercato has been that guy each of the past

354
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: two years.

355
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, he certainly has. And look, Mario Demercatto, he's a

356
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 6: guy that does everything for this offense and a third down guy. Again,

357
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 6: we talk about it all the time, just his past

358
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 6: protection and just look the offensive line. That's another thing

359
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 6: we could talk about. But the offensive line I think

360
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 6: did a really good job of protecting Kyler and keeping

361
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 6: him a fresh, nice pocket. But when you're when it

362
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 6: called upon, when you have a running back that needs

363
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 6: to stay in there and protect Murray.

364
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 4: Deemrcado's your guy overall the first team offense.

365
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 10: Hey.

366
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 4: Coach Jonathan Gennon from The Cardinals Locker Room Show gives

367
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 4: his assessment.

368
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 7: Those two drives, we went right down the field kind

369
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 7: of both times, you know what I mean. I had

370
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 7: a couple explosives in there. The run game looked pretty good.

371
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 7: We you make some screens, you know, some keepers. So

372
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 7: I loved how Drew called that. And you know, I

373
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 7: know Trey had the explosive, mar had the big third

374
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 7: down that that was good to see. You know, James

375
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 7: Connor ran it well. Trey Benson did a good job,

376
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 7: but Marie, you know, I thought they did a good job.

377
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: Again those first two drives that Kyler Murray led both

378
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 4: inside the red zone, but everyone touched the ball, Michael Wilson,

379
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison, Junior, Trey McBride, Trey Benson, James Connor, Greg

380
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 4: George with a little pop pass for a long game.

381
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 4: And then the way the first half ended with Jacobe

382
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: Brissett final two drives, final two minute drive scoring touchdowns,

383
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 4: someone that we hoped to never see on the field

384
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 4: this season, but a very capable back up QB. And

385
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: then piggybacking off what Rob said about the offensive line, Paul,

386
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 4: I know you've been bringing this up and noticed it

387
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: on Saturday night, right tackle Jona Williams.

388
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: That was one of the best. That was a top

389
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 5: three site for me in the game. Was just seeing

390
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 5: seventy three at right tackle in an actual game situation.

391
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 5: As I mentioned, I did not see him in any

392
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: of the O line D line drills. And I get it,

393
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 5: he's coming off a knee injury, knee surgery. It's a process.

394
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 5: He's a veteran. It's arguable whether he even needs camp,

395
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 5: but the fact that he's out there with the rest

396
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 5: of the first team O line, I think is a

397
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 5: great sign. And you know, whether we see him again

398
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 5: before week one, but now we know he's ready to

399
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 5: go and eliminates any of those questions you know that

400
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 5: were sort of lingering about the right side of the

401
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 5: offensive line.

402
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think one of the biggest questions going

403
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 6: into training camp was really that right guard position. And

404
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 6: Isaiah Adamson, I think he was fantastic Saturday night. He

405
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 6: in pass pro, his sets were good, he wasn't getting

406
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 6: pushed back. I think in the run game he was solid.

407
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 6: So I really like where they're trending at the right

408
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 6: guard position, and obviously bringing back Will Hernandez is gonna

409
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 6: help in terms of depth. But Isaiah Adams has really

410
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 6: done a good job that first game.

411
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 5: And when they send tip Ryman to that side, I mean, yeah, uh, okay,

412
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 5: help me out here, guys. There's a lot going on

413
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 5: in the radio booth. I don't always see the replace.

414
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 5: Tip Ryman got flagged up for what hitting a guy

415
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 5: too hard, unnecessary roughness. He blocked the guy to the ground,

416
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 5: and then while the guy was on the ground, he

417
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 5: blocked him again, and I.

418
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Think that was what I piled on.

419
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 4: Yes, it was. Okay, you're kind of already been removed

420
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: from the play. Leave him alone.

421
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 6: Hey, he blocked him with the top of his helmet

422
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 6: while he was on the ground. We call it a

423
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 6: spear with the helmet.

424
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: Probably didn't look okay, Okay, I get it, especially in

425
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 5: the preseason. It's a point emphasis, right, So I get it.

426
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 5: But man, yeah, chip Ryman has looked good in this camp,

427
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: and if he's bringing that sort of intensity, we'll call

428
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 5: it intensity, a little mean and nasty, maybe borrowed from

429
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 5: the willhard Nandez playbook.

430
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: More of that please.

431
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 4: JG called Tip a weapon in the run game, and

432
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: it's because of his blocking ability. Now, of course, Tip

433
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: would always like to say I want to get some

434
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 4: more action in the past game. He did have a

435
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 4: catch on Saturday night. Speaking of the past game, Kyler Murray,

436
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: we already mentioned it briefly, but further in depth. Get

437
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: K one's perspective on the interception that ended that first

438
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 4: possession or the first full possession of the first team offense.

439
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 8: Just didn't get enough on it. Again, that's something that

440
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 8: you know, I'm never really rolling out full speed as

441
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 8: if somebody's actually gonna tackle me, you know, And it's

442
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 8: kind of weird to explain, but yeah, I just got

443
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 8: to get more on it. And then you know, I'm

444
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 8: glad to have him though, I'm glad to have him

445
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: because you all, I would hate for that to be

446
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 8: New Orleans, you know, And it means something.

447
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 4: Again, going back to what you have said, Rob, you

448
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 4: can't replicate full speed in practice, and I don't even

449
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: think you can replicate it in preseason because guys aren't

450
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: going full speed, especially those first team guys. You're just

451
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: kind of it. Then knock the rust off a little bit.

452
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 4: But you heard Kyler there, like in the practice, I

453
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 4: know I'm not getting hit, and now all of a sudden,

454
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 4: I've got someone barren down on me and he just

455
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 4: lofted it and the defender was right there and was easy,

456
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 4: easy picking.

457
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think a lot was wrong with that

458
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 6: play in terms of just the timing. You know, you

459
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 6: had Trey McBride staying in and blocking and delay releasing

460
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 6: out to the flat. So the defender that was covering

461
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 6: Trey really didn't have any work to do initially, didn't

462
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 6: have to get with, wasn't put under any stress, so

463
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 6: he could look for work. He could look at Kyler's

464
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 6: eyes and see what Kyler was doing. And Kyler was

465
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 6: staring down Marvin a little bit on that throw, and

466
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 6: the defender was able to make a relatively easy interception.

467
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 6: But just how the play unfolded and how it was

468
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 6: kind of drawn up and laid out and how it

469
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 6: was operational just didn't click, just in terms of the timing.

470
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 6: And that's why the preseason, that's why we have it.

471
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 6: You know, you iron those things out and move on.

472
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 5: Kyler made a comment to the media this preseason about

473
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 5: doing the boring stuff. It's a must, and maybe in

474
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 5: that situation the boring thing was to hit your checkdown

475
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 5: or maybe just run and slide, you know, instead of

476
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 5: forcing it. So maybe Kurt Warner talks about taking the layups.

477
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 5: It's vital for any quarterback. Now in the preseason, he's

478
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 5: trying a few things. He's trying to be aggressive pushing

479
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 5: down the field. In the regular season and that situation

480
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 5: arises again, he doesn't feel good about a downfield pass.

481
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 2: Check it down.

Speaker 4: the defense next. Here on the Arizona Cardinals radio.

489
00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 5: Network, Sady goes to the air, sends one to the

490
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 5: far side and it is picked off an unbeliefs all play.

491
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 5: Darren Hall picks it off in coverage on the far

492
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: sideline and the Cardinals taken away as Sappy.

493
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: Hung that one up in the air and Hall reeled

494
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: it in.

495
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 9: That was incredible And it started with Xavier Thomas blows

496
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 9: up the left tack, blows up the running back, which

497
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 9: forces the quarterback to fade away, throws it up and

498
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 9: you get the huge interception for the Cardinals.

499
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's not forget about the play, the pressure provided

500
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 4: by Xavier Thomas to allow Darren Hall to make that

501
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 4: interception there in the second half. As we say, welcome

502
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 4: back to the second half of the Cardinals Red Sea Report,

503
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 4: Craig Rayolu, Paul Calvici and Rob Frederickson turning our attention

504
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 4: to the defense. And before we get into the pass rush,

505
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 4: how but we just start with Darren Hall and that play.

506
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 4: Former fourth round pick, four year veteran, perhaps a bubble guy.

507
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 4: We've seen him play some also on Saturday Night. I

508
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 4: saw him play a little safety as well. That versatility

509
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: in the secondary. But someone we kind of lose sight

510
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 4: of when we talk about the depth in the cornerback room.

511
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 6: Yet, what do you do?

512
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 4: Made the interception, almost came up with another interception, but

513
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 4: did the did get the past breakup?

514
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to make this team, you do what

515
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 6: Darren Hall did on Saturday night. You make an interception

516
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 6: when you have the opportunity, almost had a second one,

517
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 6: great great jump on the ball and zone coverage and

518
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 6: got his hands on it. But you know, he's a

519
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 6: guy that's bunced around the league for a few years

520
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 6: Atlanta and I think Indianapolis, and so you know he's

521
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: a journeyman. But he certainly did what he needed to

522
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 6: do Saturday. And Keaton Crawford another guy that made a

523
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 6: most of an opportunity, had a great high point interception

524
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 6: in the end zone. Those are the things you need

525
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 6: to do to get the coach's attention. You know, you

526
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 6: might be a bubble guy, you might be the fifth

527
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 6: or sixth, seventh defensive back. This is the way you

528
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 6: get noticed. And then what you do on special teams

529
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 6: as well.

530
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 5: You know, rob players love to have those perfect scheme fits.

531
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 5: Will Johnson was called a perfect scheme fit by Jonathan Ganna.

532
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: It just seems like.

533
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 5: Darren Hall is a good scheme fit. Maybe in like

534
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 5: press man, he's not the best, but in terms of

535
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: using his instincts, you see him in camp. He's always

536
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 5: around the football. He really does a great job of reading, reacting, discerning,

537
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 5: the play breaking on the ball. That's why he almost

538
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: had a second interception in the game. There's just something

539
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 5: about him in this scheme, the versatility, like you said, Craig,

540
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 5: between safety and corner and nickel. He can play at

541
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 5: all in a pinch.

542
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 2: And there was.

543
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 5: A reason he was on the roster last year and

544
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 5: there's a reason he's making a serious push this year

545
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 5: despite the fact you have a really talented secondary.

546
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 4: Very very good on special teams. And then what sets

547
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 4: you apart. What can you do if you do get

548
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 4: that opportunity to play offense or defense? Can you make

549
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 4: a play? And Darren Hall did make a play, made

550
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 4: several plays on Saturday, certainly earn the praise of his

551
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 4: head coach Jonathan Gannon.

552
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 7: That's what he does in practice though, Like he gets

553
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 7: his hands on a lot of balls. You know, he's

554
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 7: a multiple position guy. That's very very smart. He's got

555
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 7: really good movement skills. I thought he tackled well today.

556
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 7: And then that pick was an outstanding play.

557
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: That Saturday night from the Cardinals locker Room Show. But

558
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 4: let's go to how that play began. We heard the

559
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: play by play Xavier Thomas with the pressure Jordan Birch

560
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 4: did not get credit for a second and a half

561
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 4: because penalties wiped out both. But we did see outstanding

562
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 4: pressure I think from play one to the last play,

563
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 4: whether it was Darius Robinson earlier in the game or LJ.

564
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 4: Collier late in the game getting home on a sack.

565
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 4: But all we talked about in the offseason rob was

566
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 4: that front seven and can you get consistent pressure affect

567
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: the quarterback? And I think in the first preseason game

568
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 4: the Cardinals did just that.

569
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that was going into this game. That

570
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 6: was the biggest question mark or curiosity factor I should say,

571
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 6: is what's this defensive line, revamped defensive line going to

572
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 6: look like. And from the edge perspective, you know Jordan Birch,

573
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 6: he looks like this is a guy that you know,

574
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 6: this coaching staff is salvating over somebody that he can

575
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 6: learn and continue to get better and continue to grow

576
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 6: and just uses God given abilities. I mean, he's able

577
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 6: to affect the quarterbacks. Savior Thomas, you saw him, he

578
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 6: had some opportunities as well and took advantage of him.

579
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 6: So you're looking for that guy or guys to be

580
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 6: opposite Josh Sweat on the outside and then internally, you know,

581
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 6: Dante Stills and LJ. Collier, they keep doing what they do,

582
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 6: what they've been doing the last couple of years. They

583
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 6: keep doing it, and they keep getting pressure on the quarterback.

584
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 6: So I feel really good about the defensive line right now.

585
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 5: What's interesting, too, is just the number of different edge

586
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 5: rushers you potentially can bring if you're Nick Rolis, Josh Sweat,

587
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 5: we didn't see him, but you know what he's going

588
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 5: to be. There was out on the practice field today,

589
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 5: by the way, for anyone wondering, Jordan Birch, big man

590
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 5: who can move the really bullish on him. Zavan Collins.

591
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon just flat out says, I think Zavian Collins

592
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 5: is going to have his best year as a pro.

593
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 5: And then Baron Browning, who JG has said has had

594
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 5: one of the best camps of anyone. And just having

595
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: done the Big Red Rage with DJ Humphreys and talking

596
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 5: to other offensive linemen over the years, you guys know

597
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 5: what offensive lineman hate is when there's different pass rushers

598
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 5: at different times, presenting different looks. You can't lock in

599
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 5: to just one guy. And that's something I think is

600
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 5: gonna be really effective for this Cardinals defense is just

601
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 5: the variety of styles and pass rushers you're bringing off

602
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 5: the edge and hopefully to keep those tackles on their heels.

603
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 4: Every team wants to have that one guy where you

604
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 4: have double digit sacks, Well what if you have multiple

605
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 4: who give you eight to nine sacks, and to your point,

606
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 4: Paul coming from different directions, so you can't key on

607
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 4: one side of the field or key on one player overall.

608
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon, after watching the film on Sunday and probably

609
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 4: again several times on Monday, what he thought about the pass.

610
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 10: Rush in the game. I thought we affected the quarterback

611
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 10: pretty well. I think in training camp it's a lot

612
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 10: of good on good because our old line's doing a

613
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 10: good job. So as long as we just keep working

614
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 10: our technique, throwing our fastballs, then a little bit of

615
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 10: change up all those guys rushing together, how they fit

616
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 10: in what they need to do. The steps that we

617
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 10: made have been in the right direction, but we're not

618
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 10: there yet. I would say.

619
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 4: That a progress is being made, and if you can

620
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: consistently do it with four, maybe sometimes five, then you're

621
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: dropping a second or even a third guy into coverage

622
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 4: to make those passing lanes much tighter and then the

623
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 4: results are interceptions, which we saw on Saturday night. JG

624
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 4: likes to talk about Russian coverage, coverage and rush. It's

625
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: they're on a string. I mean, they work in tandem.

626
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 4: And if you have that, again, small sample size here,

627
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 4: Rob with the first preseason game, but I like what

628
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 4: I saw from both the rush and the coverage.

629
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, the second big question I had for this defense

630
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 6: is who's going to be the other inside linebacker opposite

631
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 6: Mac Wilson Senior. And you talk about Russian coverage, you

632
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 6: know what I saw from Owen Pepo and Davis Gatheer.

633
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 6: They struggled a little bit in terms of coverage, and

634
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 6: I wouldn't expect that, right because that's Owen pep Po.

635
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 6: That's kind of what you think of him as a

636
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 6: strong suit because he's so quick and so fast. But

637
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 6: I think it was more communication and just not being

638
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 6: in the right positions that they got exposed a couple

639
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 6: of times. But those are things they'll get ironed out.

640
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 6: And you're right. If the pass rush is there and

641
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 6: it's consistently there, that makes everybody's job on the back

642
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 6: end that much easier.

643
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 5: And you know, Craig, you said something about if you

644
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 5: have a number of guys who have like high single

645
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: digits in sacks. Last year, the Cardinals had sixteen players

646
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: at least one sack, and I al we speculated the

647
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 5: off season, all comes Josh Sweat, what if you have

648
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 5: one player with sixteen sacks? Well, if that's not realistic

649
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 5: because you're using a rotation. You said that, and I

650
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 5: looked up Eagles sack leaders. You're reigning Super Bowl champions.

651
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: Josh Sweat led the Eagles last year with eight sacks

652
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 5: in the regular season. Nolan Smith six and a half,

653
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 5: Milton Williams five, Jalen Carter four and a half, Brandon

654
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 5: Graham three and a half, Nakobe Dean three, on and on.

655
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: They were loaded.

656
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 5: And what did they do? They got away with two

657
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 5: rookie corners a year ago, Quinn and Mitchell and Cooper

658
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 5: Dejen all the way to having a dominant defense and

659
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 5: winning the Super Bowl. I see a lot of the

660
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 5: same hallmarks in this Cardinals defense. You can get a

661
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: number of guys being really effective and productive with sacks

662
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 5: in that front seven. You have a very young secondary,

663
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 5: especially the cornerback position, veteran safeties, and then all of

664
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 5: a sudden, it comes together to me, it starts to

665
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 5: resemble the style and personnel you had with the Eagles

666
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 5: a year ago.

667
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: Forty three sacks excuse me, forty one sacks the Cardinals

668
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 4: had last season, same number of the sacks that the

669
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 4: Eagles had last season. But it's okay, one of those

670
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 4: sacks happening, and han't done a deep dive on how

671
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 4: you dissect Okay, was it on third down so you're

672
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 4: getting the offense off the field, or did the results

673
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 4: in a takeaway? Veagles certainly had a number of takeaways.

674
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 4: Cardinals only had nine interceptions last season. Heck, they had

675
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 4: two on Saturday nights and it took them a while

676
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 4: to even have two in one single game. And even

677
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 4: know if they did that all of last season. But

678
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 4: it goes back to can you get enough pressure even

679
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 4: if you're not getting home all the way. Because everyone

680
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: loves the sack totals, but are you making that quarterback

681
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 4: throw the ball away or tackling them for a loss? Now,

682
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the offense is playing behind the sticks.

683
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 5: And it wasn't all vanilla schemes by Nick Rawlis against

684
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 5: Kansas City either, you saw Mac Wilson Senior bum rush

685
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 5: the backfield a couple of times. And don't forget Mac

686
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 5: Wilson Senior was one of your primary pass rushers the

687
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 5: second half of last season off the.

688
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 6: Edge, blew up the offensive guard. I mean he blew

689
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 6: it up and really affected the throw and infected the play.

690
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 4: Well, that's another thing maybe, and we've seen it sometimes

691
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: at State Farm Stadium during Cards camp where Mac is

692
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 4: the only inside linebacker. Going to your point, Rob, Okay,

693
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 4: maybe you don't need to keep four inside linebackers because

694
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 4: you're gonna have more guys on the defensive line or

695
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 4: or more guys in the secondary that if you're Nick Rollis,

696
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 4: who are your best eleven?

697
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 5: Yea, what about my gas Zavin Collins pack it inside linebacker?

698
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 4: Yeah?

699
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 6: Sorry, and Mac will mac Wilson could go up front, Yes,

700
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 6: he go off the edge. Versatility.

701
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 5: By the way, the team that led the NFL and

702
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 5: sacks zer Ago, they're up next Denver. They had sixty

703
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 5: three good teas forward there.

704
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 4: It's almost like you're a professional broadcast two man game

Speaker 2: Boom the Chaves. First down James Connor.

710
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 6: James Connor like a rolling ball of your knife.

711
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 9: Role through. See bodies hit the floor, him bouncing off people.

712
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: Max Felt comes up and delivers a bloat.

713
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 9: What a play by Max Melton, big time hit for

714
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 9: a tackle.

715
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 7: We're lost.

716
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 2: Darren Hall picks it off.

717
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 9: XP same here. Thomas blows up the left tackle, blows

718
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 9: up the running back, which forces the quarterback to fadeaway,

719
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 9: rows it up and you get the huge interception for

720
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 9: the Cardinals.

721
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 5: Picked off right in the front of the end zone

722
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 5: and it's Keaton.

723
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 9: Crawford this time. What an interception by Keaton Crawford. Unbelievable

724
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 9: play by the seventh rounder. I love my seventh rounders

725
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 9: because I was one of them to see the Desert

726
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 9: Viking also at the end of the play with a

727
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 9: nice pancake. Physicality is starting to step up.

728
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: Let's go far side like am Strode. He hits treymon Bride.

729
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 9: Great protection, perfect throw by Kyler Murray. Heck of a

730
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 9: play by the all world tight end Trey McBride. Now

731
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 9: the Cardinals are cooking with gas.

732
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 4: Dare I say a Q Shipley might be regular season ready?

733
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 4: I mean, if we're gonna talk about first team reps,

734
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: I mean, is AQ need even be a part of

735
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 4: the preseason anymore? Just fast forward a week one.

736
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 5: I mean, the moment Paris Johnson Junior was drafted, he

737
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 5: was a starting right tackle, the moment Marvin Harrison Junior

738
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 5: was drafted, he was wide receiver one, in the moment

739
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 5: a Q Shipley was named Cardinals radio analyst. You're all right,

740
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 5: I mean he's good to go. So look forward to

741
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 5: this weekend against Denver and then Craig, you have the

742
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 5: call with AQ against the Raiders, and then you know,

743
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 5: the two of us combined will make him appreciate the

744
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 5: greatness of day.

745
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 4: Pass Amen to that. Yeah, Saturday nights in Denver, six

746
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 4: point thirty is the kickoff two thirty Pregame coverage begins

747
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 4: on the Arizona Cardinals radio network Before that game, team

748
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 4: is actually leaving Wednesday tomorrow morning for the Mile High

749
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 4: City for a joint practice Thursday against the Broncos. Well

750
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 4: gave our thoughts on that, But how about we hear

751
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 4: from the head coach from the Cardinals locker room show

752
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 4: on the benefits of a joint practice against the Broncos.

753
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 7: Of going against different schemes, different people. Their central nervous

754
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 7: system will be higher on that Thursday than it is

755
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 7: a practice. It just is because you're you know, you're

756
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 7: going against an opponent, a different opponent than your teammate.

757
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 7: You know, I'm looking forward to getting a lot of

758
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 7: good work. We're gonna load them up. Coach Payton has

759
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 7: a really good plan for us when we go there,

760
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 7: and I'm excited about it. I really am. And that's

761
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 7: a really good football team. You know, that's a playoff

762
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 7: football team. They got a lot of good players. Like

763
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 7: I said, three good schemes. We're going to get a

764
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 7: lot out of it.

765
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 4: Third straight preseason in which JG is taking his team

766
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 4: on the road for a joint practice. A year ago,

767
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 4: they had two practices against the Colts, just one here

768
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 4: this year against the Broncos. But again it breaks up camp.

769
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 4: But a lot of coaches believe you get more out

770
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 4: of a joint practice in a controlled setting versus a

771
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 4: preseason game when you have no idea what's going to happen.

772
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 4: But if you're looking to practice certain situations or hey,

773
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 4: we struggle against this, give us this law, and and

774
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 4: vice versa. When you're talking about offense and defense.

775
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 6: There's so much value in these joint practices, and not

776
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 6: only from the eleven versus eleven perspective, but the individual drills,

777
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 6: the one on one pass rushing, the wide receivers, dbs, linebackers,

778
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 6: running backs. You get to see how you measure up

779
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 6: against the best of the best throughout the league. And

780
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 6: you're right, you get used to your own players. You

781
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 6: get used to knowing how Marvin Harrison Junior likes to

782
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 6: run routes and his little tells, and you can jump

783
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 6: routes as a defensive back, but you don't have that

784
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 6: opportunity get going against guys that you never see or

785
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 6: never play against. So I find so much value in

786
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 6: these joint practices. I'm glad the Cardinals continue to do them.

787
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting you go back a couple of

788
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 5: years at Minnesota and they had some really spirited eleven

789
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 5: on eleven sessions and by the time they were done

790
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 5: twenty four hours later, they had a new quarterback and

791
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 5: Josh Dobbs. To Rob's point, you get a different look

792
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 5: at certain players and it impacts your decisions. We saw

793
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 5: Darius Robinson jack up Quentin Nelson last year, their six

794
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 5: time Pro Bowl guard. That was a sight to see,

795
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 5: you know, And if d rob can get back to that,

796
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 5: and it looks like he has returned to that because

797
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 5: the calf, you know, affected him all of last season

798
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 5: as he got injured right before the start of the

799
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 5: regular season, but also against the Colts a year ago

800
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 5: at this time, like Trey McBride was unstoppable. Nobody could

801
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 5: check Trey McBride. It really was a harbinger of what

802
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 5: was to come in his Pro Bowl year.

803
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 4: You're headed to Denver, Paul. I don't know what your

804
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 4: plan is or schedule, but I would encourage you, at

805
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 4: least selfishly hopefully that you just focus on the Cardinals

806
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 4: offense because that Broncos defense. Everything I have read this offseason,

807
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 4: how good this Broncos defense potentially can be led by

808
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 4: Vance Joseph familiar name, yep, Zach Allen familiar name, and

809
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 4: and oh yeah, they got a great young corner and

810
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 4: Patrick Certain matching up perhaps against Marvin Harrison junior. But

811
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 4: just that part of Thursday's practice is going to be

812
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 4: something to watch.

813
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 5: We know Vance Joseph is going to be aggressive when

814
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 5: in doubt, he brings the blitz, so that'll really test

815
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 5: the Cardinals offensive line. They have a collection of edge

816
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 5: rushers who are so good they made Baron Browning expendable

817
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 5: and Nick Benito Jonathan Cooper, so they're excellent. The trenches

818
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 5: are really good. Zach Allen's second team All Pro a

819
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 5: year ago, Patrick Certan the second the reigning NFL Defensive

820
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 5: Player of the Year. Let that hang in the air.

821
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 5: So against Marvin Arrison Junior, that's a one on one

822
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 5: to watch. There's there's no question about that. And then

823
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 5: you know, we'll see they had a joint practice last

824
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 5: week against the forty nine ers. They're a little more

825
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 5: injured than the Cardinals, knock on wood. Cardinals are really

826
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 5: healthy right now, so we'll see just how aggressive Peyton

827
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 5: and JG want to be, how much they're going to

828
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 5: push it. But I I was talking to guys before

829
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 5: the game, there's a lot of evaluators Craig who actually

830
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 5: get more out of the joint practices than preseason games.

831
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 5: And that's really interesting, probably because it's a lot of

832
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 5: good against good and you can really get a sense

833
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 5: in a controlled environment. All right, where do I got

834
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 5: our guys stack up?

835
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 4: JG mentioned earlier on Tuesday, They'll wait until Thursday after

836
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 4: that joint practice to figure out, Okay, do we need

837
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 4: more from the first team offense and defense? Do we

838
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 4: need to see the starters on Saturday night? Or do

839
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 4: they get enough good work on Thursday to wear Okay,

840
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 4: let's go through the walkthrough on Friday and then we'll

841
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 4: just push those reps into next week ahead of the

842
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 4: Raiders game.

843
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have my suspicion is if they have a spirited,

844
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 6: a well run practice, a joint practice with the Broncos,

845
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 6: you're not gonna see much of the starters in the

846
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 6: preseason game. But you know, I'd love to love to Obviously,

847
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 6: you have an opportunity, especially at a lot of positions

848
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 6: where guys, guys want the reps, they need the reps.

849
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 6: Certain guys you know, you just don't. You don't need

850
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 6: to see James Connor, you don't need to see trade

851
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 6: Trey McBride. We know what he can do. But you know,

852
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 6: I think that it's an opportunity. I look at it

853
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 6: as an opportunity to get better and to iron things

854
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 6: out before the regular season.

855
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 4: You also have weather. I just checked. The high on

856
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 4: Thursday is ninety six degrees. You're closer to the sun.

857
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: Oh high altitude, it is going to be toasty. It

858
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 4: was ninety seven out at practice on Tuesday late morning.

859
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 4: But it is a different environment. And we can go

860
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 4: back to when the Cardinals were in Flagstaff and the

861
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 4: altitude two a days, sometimes three days. But that is

862
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 4: another stress level if you want to talk about, Okay,

863
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 4: this joint practice in addition to a good defense that

864
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 4: the Broncos offer, it's everything else. You don't know what

865
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 4: you're gonna get weather wise, and then you know the

866
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 4: altitude and how that affects things.

867
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 5: Two years ago in Minnesota was record breaking heat. It

868
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 5: was a heat index beyond one hundred. It was unreal.

869
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 5: But I think it was beneficial to really stress and test.

870
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing. I think the impacts whether the

871
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 5: starters for the Cardinals will play on Saturday night will

872
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 5: start us for the Broncos. Plaint coaches are always in communication.

873
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 5: I think the big reason why the Cardinals starters played

874
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 5: is because Andy Reid is notorious for playing his starters.

875
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 5: By the way, it's interesting to see other teams studied

876
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 5: Kansas City in the offseason and realize they always play

877
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 5: their starters series. Seen a lot more that this preseason

878
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 5: across the league. But bo Knicks did not have a

879
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 5: good initial game against the forty nine Ers, did not

880
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 5: play well at all. So if Bonick saying, hey, Coach Payton,

881
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 5: I want some reps in preseason game number two, even

882
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 5: though he is their franchise quarterback, maybe the Cardinals counter

883
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 5: with an opening series by their first team d.

884
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 4: And I wonder what the thinking for a lot of

885
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 4: teams is players going to the coaches or having that conversation.

886
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 4: I need those reps. I feel better. I keep going

887
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 4: back to when Carson Palmer was here and saying I

888
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 4: want to feel that first hit in the preseason to

889
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 4: get my body and mind ready for Week one. Now,

890
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 4: no one wants to see the quarterback get hit, but

891
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 4: I understand what he was talking about, because you don't

892
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 4: know until you're there in week one, and sometimes by

893
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 4: week one that's too late.

894
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 6: I don't think history of the NFL, there's ever been

895
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 6: a player go to a coach and say I don't

896
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 6: want to play this week. Coach that doesn't happen. These

897
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 6: guys want to play, they want their coach to think

898
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 6: they want to play. Anyway, half the.

899
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 5: Time, you're not gonna send that message or there's no

900
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 5: doubt about that. But in terms of some of these

901
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 5: position battles, I mean, they're very real. You saw some

902
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 5: of the fumbles in the return game. I'm guessing the

903
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 5: special teams are going to have a long week under

904
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 5: Jeff Rodgers. He wants a lot more out of those guys.

905
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 5: Did that open up a window for Xavier Weaver to

906
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 5: maybe grab one of those return gigs which would cement

907
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 5: his place as the fourth or fifth receiver.

908
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon on Tuesday said, this was a big week,

909
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 4: an important week concerning those position battles. So we'll see

910
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 4: joint practice on Thursday. Game on Saturday six point thirty

911
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 4: is the kickoff, and then we'll be discussing it in

912
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 4: one week's time here on the Cardinals Red sever Report Special.
