Speaker 2: Slammed to the ground by Budda Baker like a torpedo.

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: Here we go, one hand to catch it a touchdown?

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: Oh baby, how's that film? Here's Craig Griolu, Paul Calvici,

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: and two time pro bowler Lorenzo Alexander.

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 4: So it is usually at this point in the preseason

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 4: where I'm just ready to hit the fast forward button

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: to week one. Unfortunately, we still have one more preseason

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 4: game to go and the regular seasons has begin until

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 4: September seventh. So with that in mind, we will discuss

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 4: what we all witnessed Saturday nights. But I think the

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 4: more important part of the stay in Denver, Paul, was

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: what you witnessed. Myself and Zoe did not. We were

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: not in attendance. But what you saw firsthand, and that

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 4: was the joint practice on Thursday with the Broncos. Because

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 4: I think there was some better work, more productive work

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 4: shown Thursday, then there might have been shown Saturday.

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: Well, first talk, Craig, don't presume your regular season ready. Okay,

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: you need these next three weeks. You know, if no

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: one's here to tell you I will, We're gonna keep

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: it real around here. We're in the trust tree. Yeah,

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: Gorilla's still got to polish a few things up to

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: be regular season ready for New Orleans Week one. As

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: for the joint practice, yes, much much different than the

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: preseason game. First, there was the personnel that were those

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: who are actually participating, meaning the first team was good

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: against good first team offense against the Broncos first team

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: defense and vice versa on two different fields. And there

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: were more than fifty reps by the first teamers alone

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: in eleven on eleven. There was also O line, D line.

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: There was you know, receivers against DB's. I mean, there

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: was a lot of competition. You know, typically these joint

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: practices can be two days, but as JG. Said more

42
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: than once. It was a loaded up one day. So

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: it's sort of an all you can eat one meal buffet.

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: You go through and you just load that plate up,

45
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: and that's exactly what they did. And look, they won some,

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: they definitely lost some. But that's a talented Broncos team.

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: I mean, the defense is top five in almost every

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: category last year. And bow knicks. He looks sharp and

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: he has a ton of receivers and that's Sean Payton playbook.

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: He looks really capable running right now. He spent a

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: lot of time this offseason with Drew Brees and San

52
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: Diego b Nix nice and so you can tell they

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: got something wrong in there. Sean Payton and company.

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: That joint practice in full pads. Temperatures in the upper nineties,

55
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: I know, yeah, higher elevation. So this was perhaps maybe

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: why we saw what we saw on Saturday, though the

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: Broncos dealt with it the same. But the game itself,

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: though twenty seven to seven didn't see much, there was

59
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 4: a handful of key reserves. Jacoby Brissette, I think we

60
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: all know what to expect out of them. Outside of that,

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: it was really hard to find individuals that really stood out.

62
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I would agree with that, but I would

63
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 5: also encourage us to pump the brakes a little bit.

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 5: I know we're all feeding for football, right It's that

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: this long hot summer. Man, when can we see some

66
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 5: guys hit? I want to see the starters. I'm so

67
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: excited about what Marvel's gonna look like, what Kyle is

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: gonna do with some of these new defensive pieces. But

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 5: the preseason is for development. That's just is what it is.

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: It's part of training camp. And so I was that guy.

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 5: So when you say good versus good, I kind of

72
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 5: get offended, like I'm out here, like I was trying

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: to grind. There would be no me without the preseason.

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 5: There's a lot of guys in this league that need

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 5: the preseason to develop. Yeah, they may not be part

76
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: of the team right now, but down the line, where

77
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 5: did this guy come from? Wasted? He got on in

78
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 5: the preseason, made some play some games. Now, to the

79
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 5: average fan, you're not paying attention because it's not a

80
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 5: marquee name, and so let's take it for what it is.

81
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 5: Let's be patient, let's develop some of that, especially your

82
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 5: old heads right here. You talk about the young culture

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 5: wanting to be jumping the microwave. Can we all just

84
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 5: take a breath, sit back, and allow the process to happen.

85
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 5: And to your point, right, nobody on this football team

86
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: is regular season ready. You just aren't. I mean you

87
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 5: probably still won't be for a lot of guys until

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 5: you actually start playing regular season games because the mindset,

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: the speed, how people are game planning for you, it

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 5: is much different. But I am, I am I think

91
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 5: excited to hear that. I know the Cardinals actually competed

92
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: much better than what we saw doing practice versus the game.

93
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 5: And that's what you want to see, right cause that's

94
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 5: going to be the nucleus of your guys. And to

95
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 5: that point, guys aren't acclimated to that, to that elevation.

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: That that alone. The heat is one thing, The elevation

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 5: is a whole nother monster. And I know they only

98
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 5: got there what Thursday, Friday off Saturday, and they I mean,

99
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: so you're still your body's still trying to figure out

100
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 5: what just happened to me after that Thursday practice.

101
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: And to your point, there were two undrafted rookie tackles

102
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: who proved themselves worthy enough in that joint practice they

103
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: earned a start on Saturday Night, Jeremiah Byers and Josh Fryar.

104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: So to your point, there are guys making a push

105
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: who were way off the radar at the beginning to

106
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: this camp and because of the preseason games, because of

107
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: a joint practice, because of you know, proving themselves and

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 3: getting reps against then second and first teamers. As we

109
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: saw Friar and Buyers do at the end of Cardinals

110
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: Camp O line D line. They just keep getting bigger

111
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: challenges and they say handle those challenges. Guess what, they

112
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 3: get more reps. And right now I'd say both those guys,

113
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 3: believe it or not, both of them are a threat

114
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: to make this final fifty three.

115
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: Now, what happens when the lights come on and get

116
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: do you show that you are capable of handling the

117
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: brighter spotlight versus practice where it's controlled, no fans and

118
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: you're just kind of going through. But yeah, Saturday Night

119
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: again a tough watch. Head coach Jonathan Gannon on the

120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 4: Cardinals Locker Room Show following a twenty seven to seven

121
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 4: loss to the Broncos.

122
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 6: I just thought that we didn't play with great technique

123
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 6: all day, and when that happens, you're gonna get beat

124
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 6: pretty good, and that's what happens. So we'll learn from

125
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 6: it and move on and get another opportunity on Saturday.

126
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: And that's key because you bring it up. So yes,

127
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people already for week one,

128
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: but there are maybe three, four or five spots on

129
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: the fifty three, a full sixteen man practice squad, so

130
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 4: jobs again, we call it the initial fifty three. And

131
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: how many jobs are open, Well, there's another sixteen on

132
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 4: the practice squad. Whether it's your own guys that you

133
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 4: want to keep and develop, or maybe there's a veteran

134
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 4: or two out there that just couldn't latch onto fifty three,

135
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 4: but hey, we want some depth on the practice squad.

136
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: So you're probably looking at upwards of more than twenty

137
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 4: openings as far as jobs are con roster.

138
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: Wise, Yeah, and those are guys that you're gonna have

139
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 5: to depend on, right, especially the way the practice squad

140
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 5: works now, where you can bring guys up and down

141
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 5: I think up to like three times before you have

142
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 5: to sign them. So coaches are gonna utilize that, especially

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 5: when somebody's gonna get injured right in a critical position,

144
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 5: and you got to have those guys who've had experience

145
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 5: to be able to come in and to your point,

146
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 5: each layer is a step up to see can this

147
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 5: guy compete? Right, you're starting OTA's you're just in shorts

148
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 5: and a helmet. Maybe, then you put shoulder pads on

149
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 5: in preseason, then you compete in a joint practice somebody else,

150
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: and then you step up to a game. It's more

151
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: live in this big stadium because we want to see

152
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 5: guys that can make that transition and take those skills

153
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 5: and habits. Because some guys are just great practice plays.

154
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: Ooh my goodness. We had a quarterback Nick Peter Mandle's,

155
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, and it got into the game and

156
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 5: it just got too big for him and for whatever reason,

157
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 5: couldn't play on that level consistently where you can depend

158
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 5: on them and you That's what all of these stages

159
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 5: are doing for guys and coaches evaluating him in the scouts,

160
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: let me see what he looks like in different situations.

161
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 5: So I'm excited for it. I'm always excited for it. Yeah,

162
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 5: it's the drain sitting there watching the collective of guys

163
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 5: do that. Right, That's one thing, but it's still good

164
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: football if you kind of hone in on certain guys

165
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: and some of the young guys, right, we think about

166
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 5: pap Poe, we think about Simon, who were out there early.

167
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: They learned some things, some of the tackling, some of

168
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 5: the angles that they need to take in the flat right,

169
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 5: missing some tackles in that regard, and those are reps

170
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 5: that guys need, those young guys really need, so that

171
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: in first the week of the first season, we know

172
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: who that guy is going to be. And then also

173
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 5: they're not missing those tackles.

174
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 4: Two days earlier, the joint practice, as we talked about earlier, again,

175
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: that's where the starters were on the field and getting

176
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: good reps against the Broncos starters. So to look back,

177
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 4: howd JG Thing thought things went against the Broncos.

178
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 6: I thought we got a lot done. You know, there's

179
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 6: you know, all three coordinators showed some tape from Thursday. Again.

180
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 6: I liked where the volume was add from a standpoint

181
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 6: of getting our guys, you know, bunch of reps on Thursday,

182
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 6: and it was good just to go through traveling playing

183
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 6: at night, you know what I mean, and your routine

184
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 6: of what that looks like. There's a lot of good

185
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 6: connecting going on for those days that you're there in

186
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 6: a hotel with our players, which was cool. So overall

187
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 6: I like doing that. It was a great setup.

188
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: We've heard JG speaker the value of the joint practice.

189
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: We've heard the coordinators the assistants talk about the value

190
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: of a joint practice. It seems like they value it

191
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: higher than a preseason game because it's a controlled environment.

192
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: You can work on specifics that might not show up

193
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: in a game, especially ahead of week one. Hey, we

194
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: want to go two minutes. We want to go on

195
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 4: situational things. This might pop up. How do we react,

196
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 4: call time out, go on the field, hands on instruction.

197
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: Can't do that? Yeah, on a Saturday night.

198
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: And you're going to get blitzes too, right, the quarterback

199
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: is off limits, so if you don't pick up a

200
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 5: blitz that you know the risk versus reward is good

201
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: there as well. So you don't have to worry about

202
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 5: a guy getting hit, and you can work on things

203
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 5: that you're not going to show because you don't want

204
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: nobody to have tape one right, tape doesn't get out

205
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 5: besides between those two teams, and so I think coaches

206
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 5: really like that. Also, JG probably likes the one day

207
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 5: because typically on that second day, somebody got a little

208
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 5: chippy on day one, and I'm about to get my

209
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 5: get back on day two. So that's also probably a

210
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 5: smart move from that standpoint. You kind of cut back

211
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 5: on some of the ridiculousness that typically happens on day

212
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: two when guys are tied and bothered. Just about how

213
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 5: long training camp has been up to.

214
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: If there would have been a day two, there would

215
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: have been a fight involving Tip Riman. Yeah, I'm just

216
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: telling you that right, maybe even DJ Dallas because they

217
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: are both agitators and instigators during that first practice. Here's

218
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: the thing, though, and I get it, you can really

219
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: run a lot of schemes that perhaps you won't run

220
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: when it's all vanilla schemes in the preseason. But to

221
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: Zoe's point earlier about trying to determine who's worthy of

222
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: the final fifty three, you're not hitting the quarterback, you're

223
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: not tackling to the ground. You know a lot of

224
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: times the quarterback would have been sacked. But the past

225
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 3: still gets away. So there's a lot of false positives

226
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 3: out there now when you're in a game. For your example,

227
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: on Papo, Cody Simon, who's the better open field tackler.

228
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: It's one thing to be really athletic, right and sort

229
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: of run up and make the thud. Did you get

230
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 3: the guy down? And I thought Cody Simon did a

231
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: really good job. He looked really instinctive. You know, that

232
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: first step is everything is a middle linebacker. Even though

233
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: he's a rookie. I thought he looked good. Look at

234
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: Elijah Jones right at the very end of the games, like,

235
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: oh my goodness, can we just run the clock. And

236
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden he makes a play, forces

237
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: a fumble near the end zone. In the end zone,

238
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: and I can tell you right now that caught Jonathan

239
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: Gannon's eye. So you play all sixty minutes and maybe

240
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 3: it's a play like that that gets you a second look.

241
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and you talk about that. I mentioned this

242
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 5: the other day on air when I was talking like

243
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: the way I got a chance to play. We were

244
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 5: playing the Tennessee Titans. Rushing the pass or going to

245
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 5: remove running back steps up, hits me, helmet comes off,

246
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 5: quarterback scrambles. I go chase the quarterback down, get a sack,

247
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 5: but my man readout he hits me, right, And so

248
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 5: I get a friendly fire. Friendly fire, you don't have

249
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 5: a helmet out. No, I don't have a helmet on it.

250
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 5: But I just stopped playing. And so that happened in

251
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: a preseason game. And so if that play doesn't happen, yeah,

252
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm still the same dude. But you don't have an

253
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 5: imagery in this play that goes along with the coaches.

254
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: And so when they trying to decide, man, did you

255
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 5: see what that dude just did? Right, it just puts

256
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 5: something different and you need those opportunities. And that's why

257
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 5: again it's just a great opportunity for young guys to

258
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 5: get a showcase.

259
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: One of the most famous stories, if we're going to

260
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: go on the cold tub time machine, Tony Jefferson final

261
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: preseason game. He made two picks in the fourth quarter

262
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, he went from the undrafted

263
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: dude what's his name again out Oklahoma twelve of your career.

264
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: I mean he made the team based on that, right,

265
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. So we'll see there are jobs hanging in

266
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: the bounce, not a ton but the O line depth,

267
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: cornerback depth, you know that other inside linebacker.

268
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: There are definitely areas fifth or sixth receiver. Definitely on

269
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: the subjects of that second and third level of the

270
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: defense from Saturday. Again, don't judge it collectively, but maybe

271
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: individuals who you want to see a little bit more.

272
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 4: What did not go right for the Cardinals d defense

273
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: in Denver and what do you hope to see this

274
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 4: week against the Las Vegas Raiders. We'll get into that next.

275
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 4: It's the Cardinals red sever report here on the Arizona

276
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: Cardinals right doing network.

277
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: Play.

278
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: Actually big, they could beat the great throw on the run.

279
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: Has a man it's the tight end end and Ingram's

280
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: on the far sideline. Big run. He still looses. He

281
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: breaks the tackle, the forty into Cardinals territory. Finally cut

282
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: down near the thirty five yard line. Short said, he's

283
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: gonna loft more to the near sideline. Has a man

284
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 3: who has a step, and he has a touchdown Troy Franklin.

285
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: It's twenty seven yard strike.

286
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 7: They run the blitz again and Standham hits the receiver

287
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 7: wide open in between the cover two in between. They

288
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 7: call that the honey hole in between the corner and

289
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 7: the safety coming over the top.

290
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: Taking a shot into the end zone near side.

291
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: He's got Troy Franklin.

292
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 3: He's hand fighting a contestant grab against Denzel burn and

293
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: it is a touchdown Denver Bronco.

294
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 4: So here are some numbers for you though that will

295
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: make any coach preseason, regular season, postseason stay up at night.

296
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 4: Fifteen total plays of fifteen or more yards yep, seven

297
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 4: plays pass plays of twenty or more yards. Nine different

298
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: wide receivers had eleven yards or more. That's what happened

299
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: Saturday night. Again, That's why I say it was a

300
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: tough watch collectively. Now individually you can figure out right

301
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: what happened. Why did those plays happen? Was it a

302
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: coverage breakdown, was a technique combination of both young players

303
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: starters were watching? Yeah, backups on the field.

304
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it happened right out the gate right the first drive,

305
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 5: I mean, big play pass, boot, another big pass I

306
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 5: think it was another boot or play action, and then

307
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 5: there was a what a five yard run where they

308
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: just got manhandled in the line of scrimmage, which was

309
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 5: really indicative of what the entire game look like. And

310
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 5: so that is going to be the biggest thing that

311
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: they're going to be focusing on. One is because it

312
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 5: always comes back to the basics, right, you know, you

313
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: want all the athletes, and you want the talent, but

314
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 5: what is my job? Where are my eyes at? What

315
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: is the communication? And then be able to execute that

316
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 5: once the ball is snapped and some of those play

317
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 5: action passes just having bad eyes. I mean when we

318
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 5: see tight ends releasing coming off and it's hard to do.

319
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 5: We got to be able to flow back. We got

320
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 5: to understand what the coverage and what my responsibility is,

321
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: and then we got to find work within our area.

322
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 5: You know, whether that was zone or man, I can't

323
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 5: remember off the top of my head, but those things.

324
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 5: If this man is a little bit easier because I

325
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 5: need to stay with my work. But typically our eyes

326
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 5: get bad and that's what happens. And so that's going

327
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 5: to be the biggest trends or learning point from this

328
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 5: week to next week is where were your eyes on

329
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 5: these plays? Because if you have bad eyes, you don't

330
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 5: have a shot.

331
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, when they came out to that first drive and

332
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: they went four plays ninety seven yards, you heard the

333
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram fifty eight yard catch and run. Now he's

334
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: the starter. He was the lone starter on offense. I

335
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: think was playing four Denver and it looked like it,

336
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: you know. And then after that the Cardinals, well, let's

337
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: just say it got lopsided in total yardage over five

338
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: hundred total yards for the Broncos. Cardinals had one thirty

339
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: five and to me, at least defensively, Stidham and Sam

340
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: Ellingert just had way too much time. Dvs had to

341
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: cover for way too long. And is it always Russian coverage, Yes,

342
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: but there wasn't nearly enough affecting the quarterback by the

343
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: Cardinals defense. And look, I get it, they didn't have

344
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: any of their premiere defense or at least first team

345
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: defensive lineman or edge guys out there.

346
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 8: LJ.

347
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: Collier played a little bit, but even Dante Stills was sitting.

348
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: So but yeah, there's no doubt when you give a

349
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 3: veteran quarterback like Jared Sidham that much time, he will

350
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: carve you up. And he did.

351
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Broncos finished with almost eight yards per play

352
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 4: in that game on Saturday Night. But it was the

353
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: coverage that bothered the head coach the most. Here's JG.

354
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 6: We have to do a better job consistently playing with

355
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 6: the technique in getting on the right people with the

356
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 6: right leverage. That's what I would say from the back end.

357
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 6: And that's not just the corners, It's not just the

358
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 6: safeties and Nicholas, the linebackers, just collectively as a whole, everybody,

359
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 6: because we show flashes and it's good, like in the

360
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 6: Denver practice or even in the game, and then when

361
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 6: it's not, you get beat.

362
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 4: Speaking of flashes, Denzel Burke, your fifth round draft pick,

363
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 4: flashed early in that game in the first quarter, then

364
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 4: beaten on a seventeen yard touchdown by Troy Franklin, in

365
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 4: which if he had turned around maybe you would have

366
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 4: been able to be in better position. Then there was

367
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 4: that mix up with Keaton Crawford in the secondary and

368
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 4: another Troy Franklin touchdown. So you see the good? Anything

369
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 4: else to see?

370
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 6: All?

371
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 4: Right? Where do we need to improve? Especially when you're

372
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 4: talking about a first year player.

373
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 5: Right, And to pausport point, some of that gets covered

374
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 5: up if you have a great pass rush, right, So

375
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 5: if you got guys impacting a quarterback, maybe the throw

376
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 5: isn't as on point, or maybe he comes off the

377
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 5: throw completely because he sees color flashing before his eyes.

378
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 5: But what JG Is talking about is being doing your

379
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 5: one eleventh and consistently doing that every single rep because

380
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 5: you can't have Okay, I do it right way on

381
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 5: one play, you do it the wrong way on that

382
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 5: same play. Then you do it the right way, then

383
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 5: I do it the wrong way right, So you always

384
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 5: you're gonna have some type of inconsistency. And so that's

385
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 5: what he's talking about, the consistency from the entire group

386
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: as far as playing cover three or playing quarters, playing

387
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 5: their man pressures with the right eyes, the right leverage,

388
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 5: and then finishing. And even when you have a starter

389
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 5: out there he's ingram, isn't that significantly better to where

390
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 5: he's that wide open?

391
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: Right?

392
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 5: At the talent level, isn't that big? Even when you

393
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 5: do have started, it's typically okay, it's a little bit

394
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 5: more separation. We're talking about inches here. These guys were

395
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 5: running wide open, you know.

396
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: And I joked with Craig yesterday half joked, I don't

397
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: know if Jonathan Gannon has a dog, but he definitely

398
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: has a dog house, and a lot of young dbs

399
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 3: right now are in his dog house. I can tell

400
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 3: you that for sure. And we saw some of it

401
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: in the joint practice as well. Bo Nicks and that

402
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 3: receiver corps kind of exposed some of the young cornerbacks

403
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 3: and the young safeties, and they weren't always in sync,

404
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: and there were guys behind the defense because there were

405
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 3: mental breakdowns and then a little too handsy. You know,

406
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: you can't get away with a lot of that stuff

407
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: at the NFL level, especially in the preseason, can be

408
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: a point of emphasis. So I think there are certain

409
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: themes here that JG wants to see remedied.

410
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, in question for that sense I wasn't out at practice,

411
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 5: was that when when Buddha and Jenen were out there,

412
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 5: wouldn't that occur when Buddha wasn't on the field.

413
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 3: Most of the time it was without Buddha and JJG.

414
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: And here's the other thing that clouds it a little

415
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: bit is okay, wait a minute, was bo Nicks? Would

416
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: he have been sacked?

417
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: Was he? You know?

418
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: Because a lot of times they're covering for five, six,

419
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: seven seconds when the quarterback wouldn't you know, would have

420
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: had to get rid of the ball earlier. But there

421
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: were also guys that got behind the second area and

422
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: there were definitely breakdown And.

423
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 5: The reason why I asked, is Buddha out there, right,

424
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 5: because that's a communication thing, right, So if we're all

425
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 5: on the same page. Whether it's the wrong page or not,

426
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 5: we're going to all be okay because we're playing the

427
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 5: same type of coverage and we're seeing it the same.

428
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 5: And that is even when you know I coach a

429
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: lot of youth football, they don't want to say nothing.

430
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 5: And so it's that is the biggest young players are

431
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 5: afraid to talk like, Hey, alert it, say it, Hey,

432
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 5: what we're playing, make the call. And if you do that,

433
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 5: even if it's the wrong call, if we play it

434
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 5: together collectively, we can get through the down and then

435
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 5: make the correction.

436
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: There was another one I came to learn later where

437
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 3: there was a big play given up by the Cardinals

438
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: secondary by their big receiver and apparently the young cornerback

439
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: because the on game plan, you have no idea who

440
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 3: these guys are. He saw a six or five receiver,

441
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 3: thought he ran a four to six or four seven. Well,

442
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 3: the dude runs a four to four and he learned

443
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: the hard way when that receiver was behind him and

444
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 3: Boneck's boom hit him on the money touchdown. And so

445
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: a lot of that just came down to I have

446
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 3: no idea who number nineteen is, and now he's behind me.

447
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: And I've got a problem, right, He's probably sitting on

448
00:20:59,560 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: something like this.

449
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 5: Dude ain't gonna run by. I'm gonna run to my

450
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: outer stop route and I'm gonna have to body him

451
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 5: up and he just what is this?

452
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: And so you know, it was a good learning experience,

453
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 3: but it did look bad in the moment aside.

454
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 5: That's why I got a good day too. Sometimes I

455
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 5: need that day too so I can see what they

456
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 5: have so I can go out there and get my

457
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 5: get back.

458
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 4: I know who you are now, Well, the Cardinals young secondary,

459
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 4: they're gonna get that second game coming up on Saturday,

460
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 4: because I would expect. No one has said anything but

461
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: well the starter's play, I have my guess is not

462
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 4: going to play. So it's gonna be another opportunity coming

463
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 4: up for a lot of those young dbs. And it

464
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 4: wasn't just the coverage and the technique, but a lot

465
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 4: of to Paul, you mentioned the hands. Too many penalties

466
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 4: and that was a concern of Jonathan Gannon immediately after

467
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: the game.

468
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 6: The big thing with me that jumps out this is

469
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 6: kind of a snap judgment as we're fouling too much.

470
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 6: So that's happening in practice and then what you do

471
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 6: in practice is gonna show up in a game. So

472
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 6: we got to make sure we play with better fundamentals

473
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 6: when we're covering people.

474
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 4: Not to call anyone out up, but just stating fact. Well,

475
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: Johnson for the second straight game a defensive holding penalty.

476
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 4: It was declined Elijah Jones face mask penalty. Now he

477
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 4: did have the play that you referenced earlier in the show, Paul,

478
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 4: as far as the punch out near the line of scrimmage.

479
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 4: So again, the flashing guys are competing, but you can

480
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: get away with a lot more. Or maybe you don't

481
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: have to worry about your hands as a dB in

482
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 4: college because yeah, you rely on your athleticism. Here you're

483
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: not quite sure and a hand wrapped around the waist

484
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 4: that's an immediate flag.

485
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 5: In the NFL, yeah, you know, sometimes they would do

486
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 5: like put boxing gloves on guys, garbage bags, things to

487
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 5: make them not want to use their hands because they

488
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 5: use them, they were useless essentially, And so I don't

489
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 5: know if they're doing any of that, but coming up

490
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 5: with drills in practice, especially with the younger guys, so

491
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 5: whether they come out there earlier, stay a little bit

492
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 5: later to work on those things, so they learn how

493
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 5: to play or not pull, because you can, you can

494
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 5: slingshot guys. What ref look like they look for as restriction.

495
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 5: And so if you can get a good field to

496
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 5: where you're pulling a guy but not turning a guy,

497
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call that. And so those are like the

498
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 5: little integral things that you got to learn how to

499
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 5: do well when you take the next step, because anytime

500
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 5: you put a hand and change guys and open up shoulders,

501
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 5: they gonna call it every time.

502
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: It's funny. I remember, and I don't remember the player

503
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: exactly was Ba and Todd Bowles, and there was a

504
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: young corner who came out for a camp practice and

505
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 3: he had oven mits on. Yeah, and they just stop grabbing,

506
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 3: stop playing with your hands. You can't get away with that,

507
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: right And so Will Johnson is interesting because he's listed

508
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: first team on the depth chart. He's had some rookie moments,

509
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: but then you see the talent. When we asked LJ.

510
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 3: Collier in the Big Red Rage, give us the name

511
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 3: of a young guy who you think is gonna, you know,

512
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 3: really be a factor this year, he immediately said agent zero,

513
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 3: Will Johnson.

514
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: So everyone sees the talent.

515
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 3: You just got to refine a few things.

516
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: Join the Bird Gang in Dallas for Monday Night football

517

Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

523
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: Cardinals Now second down and seven from the KC forty

524
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: five shotgun snapped at. Kyler sets throws the middle clad

525
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: Marvin Arison Junior reels in a sliding grab. Well done,

526
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 3: avoiding a big hit. But there's zach chemistry and connection

527
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: K one at Marvin Harrison Junior.

528
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 7: There's the connection that we wanted to see. We want

529
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 7: to see Kyler get it to Marvin Harrison Junior early

530
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 7: and often. We've seen it all training camp. Great patients there,

531
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 7: let him get open over the middle, gets it back

532
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 7: to him.

533
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison, Marvin's one and only catch this preseason so far.

534
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 4: Don't think he'll play on Saturday, but hey, don't know

535
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 4: until we know Harrison, by the way, eighteen preseason snaps

536
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 4: fifty more than he received all of last season, something

537
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 4: that he alluded to in the year that, yeah, I

538
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 4: probably probably needed a little bit more preseason work, and

539
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 4: last year was just kind of a all right, get dressed,

540
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: go on the field, and it was really nothing, just

541
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 4: kind of going through the motion. So I do think

542
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 4: guys are understanding, especially younger players, that yeah, you do

543
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 4: need some preseason work. But the work between Kyler and

544
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 4: Marvin has come not only in preseason games, but practice

545
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 4: in this entire offseason as far as might have been

546
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 4: the number one talking point all off season. Where is

547
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 4: this team go now? And the big way is to

548
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: have a better connection between your franchise quarterback and your

549
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 4: number one wide receiver.

550
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm I'm definitely excited and intrigued to see

551
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 5: what that looks like for sure, especially off of that

552
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 5: one play and so many great things on that play. Obviously,

553
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 5: Kyler delivering a ball put in the location where Marvin

554
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: isn't going to get jacked up, gives him the opportunity

555
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 5: to get down, but jin the way Marvin created separation,

556
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 5: uses his body and then catches the ball away from

557
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 5: his body and then pulls it back in, which I

558
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 5: don't know if I saw that at all last year

559
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 5: consistently from him right, And you know, I try to

560
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 5: watch most of the games that really stood out, and

561
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 5: so he can continue to do that right and have

562
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 5: a big catch ratus where it doesn't have to use

563
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 5: his body but go and get it and use his

564
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 5: length and then bring it back in. He's going him

565
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 5: and Kyler. Obviously, the production is gonna go way up.

566
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 5: In my mind, they had solid production last year as

567
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 5: him as a rookie, but it's even going to be

568
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 5: accelerated because now you put a lot more balls that

569
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 5: are in play as far as being caught, and then

570
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 5: hopefully with that bigger frame, breaking some of those tackles

571
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 5: and taking into the house and creating some more big plays.

572
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 5: But Paul will love to just hear how you've seen it, right,

573
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 5: because you've been at a lot of the practices. Is

574
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 5: that like an indication of what he's doing now catching

575
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 5: the ball a lot better with his hands in space.

576
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 3: He is the you know, he's getting those you know,

577
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 3: instead of catching against the body, he's definitely attacking the

578
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: ball more. In fact, he made a comment yesterday, it

579
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense, he said. Simmi Faijo came

580
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: in and he said he's never seen a receiver come

581
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: back to the football and attack the football.

582
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 4: Like Fay hooko.

583
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 3: And Simmy said, you know what, that's something that was

584
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: just instilled in me at Stanford early in the league.

585
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: I'm not a guy who's gonna get a lot of separation.

586
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 3: I better get my hands away from my body. I

587
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: better make that contest to catch. And look, Marvin Harrison

588
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: Junior has a lot more athleticism, and he's an athletic guy,

589
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 3: but he's always getting cornerback one. He's always getting Jalen Ramsey,

590
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: Devin Witherspoon has been a two time All Pro in

591
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: two years. I mean, just name them all. Sauce Gardner,

592
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: he sees so these guys And I asked Marvin about

593
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 3: this yesterday. What separates or what's the commonality with all

594
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: those elite cornerbacks. He said, Look, there's a lot of

595
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: guys with athleticism and size, but their technique is impeccable,

596
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: and so you have to learn how to make that

597
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: contest to catch. And Kyler has to be in sync

598
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 3: with Marvin. There was a stat last year, I think

599
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: resonates with everyone one hundred and sixteen targets, sixty two catches.

600
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 3: It's the efficiency that to improve. Everyone's like, well, what

601
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: does chemistry mean? Well, good question. Well, to me, it

602
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: means efficiency, and it's something that he has with Trey McBride.

603
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't McBride he'll have ten catches on

604
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: eleven targets and he's still mad after the game about

605
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 3: that one target he didn't reel in. That's he wants perfection.

606
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: And if Kyler Marvin Erson Junior can elevate that, that's

607
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: what elevates the entire offense this year. And I think

608
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 3: that's what really makes the Cardinals unstoppable as an oh

609
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: because you have the two running backs and you have

610
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 3: a number two ranked run game yards per carry each

611
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: of the last two years. That's already established. Trey McBride

612
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 3: is one of the best in the league. If you

613
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: can get wide receiver one to be that guy, that's

614
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: where this offense becomes a top ten unit.

615
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: To me, get that fifty three percent catch radius in

616
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 4: the upper sixties, lower seventies. Now, all of a sudden, yeah,

617
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: Marvin does have more catches. He has more yards, maybe

618
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: even over one thousand yards, and we know he's a

619
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 4: target in the red zone, but we're waiting to see

620
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 4: it in the regular season. Head coach Jonathan gannon a

621
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 4: what he has seen from year one to year two

622
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 4: involving his quarterback and wide receiver.

623
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 6: I think it's further along then you know when we

624
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 6: ended the year, which is good. I think it's further

625
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 6: along right now than what OTA's look like to even

626
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 6: the first part of camp. I like where that's trendon,

627
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 6: and I'm excited about it.

628
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: Those two have spent a lot of time together, not

629
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 4: only on the field, but off the field as well,

630
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 4: and again that's the only way you're going to develop

631
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 4: that relationship is through reps. Marvin Harrison Junior on how

632
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 4: he thinks things are going with k One.

633
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 9: I like the connection that we've had dot camp. I

634
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 9: think we've done a great job of continue to talk

635
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 9: off the field and in between meetings or in between

636
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 9: plays or what we're both seeing out there. So I

637
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 9: definitely like, we're you gotta go out there and put

638
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 9: it on the field.

639
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 10: Now.

640
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: A lot of it is just wondering, all right, where

641
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 4: do you want the football? Where do you like the football,

642
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: especially if you're contested, if you're guarded close. And then

643
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 4: the other thing with Marvin was a lot of it.

644
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 4: I think last year'szo was, Okay, I'm running a route

645
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 4: and I'm just going to run the route. Now it's okay,

646
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 4: I've got a route to but I'm looking at the

647
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 4: defense and that's taking my route inside or outside the numbers.

648
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 4: And the quarterback knows that. So with the nonverbal communication,

649
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 4: instead of breaking in, he knows I'm gonna break out,

650
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, there's another catch that goes

651
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 4: for a gain as opposed to an incomplete pass.

652
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think them seeing the defense the same

653
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 5: as what you're talking about, they're going to react the same.

654
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 5: And I think also with Marvin being in the offense

655
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 5: another year, there is a such thing that you have

656
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 5: a mental capacity, you can have exhaustion, so you do

657
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 5: all these things. I'm thinking about it and I'm running

658
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 5: a route and by the time it's time to actually

659
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 5: finish the rep and catch the ball, I'm mentally draining.

660
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 5: So I ended up dropping the ball right because I

661
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 5: had to think all these things overthinking. That's why you

662
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 5: want athletes to go out there and play fast because

663
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 5: you had these reps and you're not really thinking about

664
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 5: what you're doing. You're kind of just reacting and seeing

665
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 5: based on all in this experience. And I think that's

666
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 5: really it's gonna help him. So now they're not only

667
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 5: seeing it the same. By the time Marvin is ready

668
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 5: to catch the rock, he hasn't exhausting himself like thinking

669
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 5: about everything pre snap, and it just becomes more natural.

670
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 5: And that's why typically more experience allows guys to play

671
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: free or play looser, be more consistent, create that longevity

672
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: because they just haven't seen it so much. It just

673
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 5: becomes like second nature. You don't really have to think

674
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 5: about it as much, you know.

675
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: There are a couple other stats from last year that

676
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: Marvin Arrison Junior was among the receivers who was in

677
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: motion the least of anyone in the league. Seven times

678
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 3: all year they said he was in motion. I think

679
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: that's going to change this year, and I think that's

680
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: going to be a bit of a difference maker. I

681
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: think you're going to see some of the cheat motions

682
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: a little bit by this Cardinals offense, by the receivers.

683
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: We'll see how that plays out, but if it can

684
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: get him an extra half step of separation, you know,

685
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: that's all you need to make the catch. The other

686
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: stat that they have to remedy is he led the

687
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: NFL in uncatchable targets. We mentioned sixty two grabs on

688
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty one hundred and sixteen targets. Well,

689
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: a number of those were the most in the league

690
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: were uncatchable. Now, is that all on Kyler, No, it's

691
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: not a lot of that. To your point, is Marvin

692
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: Irrison Junior being in the right place at the right

693
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: time reading the defense the same way as the quarterback

694
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 3: when he's thrown to the spot that you're in the spot?

695
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 5: Yep.

696
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: And so hopefully in year two that's a lot better

697
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: and much improved.

698
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: On the pre snap motion conversation, it was asked to

699
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 4: Marvin yesterday about it, and without he didn't say a ton,

700
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 4: but he did mention that the NFL is a matchup

701
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 4: based league, and he did bring up going in motion

702
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: tends to give the receiver a more favorable matchup who

703
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 4: lines up opposite him. So you've got the pre snap

704
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 4: motion which I think you're gonna see him on the move,

705
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: and also he's not just gonna be the wide receiver

706
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 4: on the left, he's gonna be on the right, and

707
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 4: he's gonna be in the slot as well.

708
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 5: That helps out a lot because unless they then start

709
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 5: trailing him and playing man, I can decide based on

710
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: the offensive formation as far as typically where he lines up,

711
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 5: whether he's at number one, number two or at number three,

712
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 5: or if I'm going to motion him into a different spot.

713
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 5: Now that's giving me tales as a quarterback in the offense.

714
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 5: Is Ramsey traveling with him?

715
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 4: Oh?

716
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 5: Okay, it must be man. Are they bumping it across? Okay,

717
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 5: his zone?

718
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 4: Right?

719
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 5: Then you start getting some different tails. And then depending

720
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 5: on who bumps to him, it could be a guy

721
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 5: like me, like I do not want to be lined

722
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 5: up over this dude right now, and then you are

723
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 5: able to work. Space is a lot better because now

724
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 5: you have a superior athlete versus an average athlete NFL wise,

725
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 5: and then you can get those catches, easy catches like

726
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 5: that as well. That just builds confidence.

727
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: I think Zoe handled himself well in coverage.

728
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 5: Yeah in space, man, in space, you know, and it's

729
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 5: in small doses. Don't give it to me too much,

730
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 5: you know, just a little bit.

731
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 4: Well, which zone.

732
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 3: Are we talking about we're talking about three techniques or

733
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: we're talking about edge rushers though.

734
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 4: I mean which guy?

735
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 5: Were talking about the edge rushers though? Three techniques? So

736
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 5: I ended up on who was I on? I forgot

737
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 5: he played for the Eagle running back for the Eagles

738
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 5: back and donoinate me nowadays?

739
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: Really good.

740
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 5: I can't think of his name right now. Westbrook. Westbrook

741
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 5: pulled my hammy chasing him. That was two ninety five.

742
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 5: So he got caught out there enough to sideline down

743
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 5: and put a nice spot ball on him. I pulled

744
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 5: my hand fring, so edge rushers out.

745
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 3: So I'm looking at Marvin Arrison Junior's game logs, by

746
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 3: the way, and I'm not counting the Green Bay game

747
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 3: because that's the one where he got he got dinged

748
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 3: early and had to leave. There were nine games last

749
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 3: year where he had less than fifty yards receiving. He

750
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 3: had his big breakout games he had over eight one

751
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: hundred yards on the air, he had eight touchdowns. But

752
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 3: but it's that consistency where he can be productive each week,

753
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 3: where the consistency of the chemistry and the connection with

754
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray to me that that's the big question.

755
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 5: This year right, and that consistency is going to allow

756
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 5: them to be have have more flexibility on offense because

757
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 5: I think towards the end, I don't know if defenses

758
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 5: were paying as much attention to him. I'm gonna go

759
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 5: to just trade mcbrath. We shut him down. We got

760
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: MSJA just because he's not ready yet. But if he's ready,

761
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 5: then you got Trey's like, man, what do we do

762
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 5: when he got some of these other guys that are

763
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 5: able to go out there and make some plays too.

764
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 5: It puts a lot more stress on how do we

765
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 5: defend the Cardinals? You know, from snap to finish, every

766
00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 5: single play?

767
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 4: How many times did Marvin really have an impact in

768
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 4: the game against the Rams at home? That was all

769
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 4: in the first half, and then on the road in

770
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: Miami another big performance out of him. But outside of that,

771
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 4: to your point, Paul, as far as the numbers are concerned,

772
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 4: there wasn't a lot. And I think if you can

773
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 4: have more Rams performances and Dolphins performances than all of

774
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 4: a sudden, yes, this offense does take that next step.

775
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 3: And late in the joint practice you saw there were

776
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 3: two plays in a row. There was a chunk throw

777
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: to the left chunk throw to the right. But then

778
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 3: about two or three plays later they went for it

779
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: all and he had a step on the defender for

780
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 3: the Broncos at the pylon and the ball was just

781
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 3: beyond his reach. So they're close. They're really close at

782
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 3: this point.

783
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 4: By the way, speaking of Marvin Harrison Junior, you want

788
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: He's got room of the forty five forty He points

789
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: to the sky as he takes up at the thirty

790
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: at a twenty the tenth the five touchdown a design

791
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: run for Tyler Murray. It goes for fifty yards.

792
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 10: You know, we haven't had a lot of national games,

793
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 10: and you know this guy can make all that those

794
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 10: inside the pocket outside the pocket, and he's quick. You

795
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 10: see it on tape. He's out running everybody all the time,

796
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 10: even like that forty nine Ers game where in San

797
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 10: fran he he points up to the touchdown, you know,

798
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 10: forty to fifty yards away, knowing who's going to score it?

799
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 10: You know, I haven't seen it.

800
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 4: A QG. Dody Good to Baker talking about the franchise

801
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 4: quarterback Kyler Murray referencing the fifty yard touchdown run at

802
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 4: San Francisco in which he pointed to the end zone

803
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 4: about what the forty five yard line and is new

804
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 4: at that point? I've got forty five yards to go

805
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 4: and no one is catching me.

806
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 3: He gone, And that was the two tight ends. And

807
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 3: just ask Trey McBride and Tip Ryman, they'll tell you

808
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: they were the key blocks on that one, and Kyler

809
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 3: knew it. And there's not many quarterbacks to get to

810
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: the second level and still have fifty yards to go

811
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: and they're that confident they're gonna house it.

812
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 4: If Kyler plays like that, plays more consistent, then yes,

813
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 4: as Buddha mentioned, there might be more national recognition, more

814
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 4: national attention. The Cardinals will be on national TV twice

815
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 4: as scheduled Week four, Thursday nights against Seattle and then

816
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 4: Week nine at Dallas on Monday Night Football. It is

817
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 4: something that, yes, the Cardinals coming off an eight win

818
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 4: season to take that next step. Locally, we kind of

819
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: sometimes we're too close to the situation. But what do

820
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 4: the national folks think? Ian Rappaport was at Cards camp

821
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 4: joined us on Cardinals Cover two to give his outlook

822
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 4: on the Cardinals this season.

823
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 11: I feel like this team is ready to win. I

824
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 11: really do. I feel like personnel wise, they are kind

825
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 11: of where Monte Austin Ford hoped they would be. I

826
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 11: think this is a team to win, and so what

827
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 11: you need is the quarterback to take you there. I'm

828
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 11: a Kyler fan. There's not a lot of guys like him,

829
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 11: and he's such a challenge to defend that you could

830
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 11: sort of see why he presents the problems that he does.

831
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 11: But he's got to take you there.

832
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 4: Good to hear, and yes, it's the obvious. Everything looks

833
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 4: good on paper, all the moves in the offseason, free agency,

834
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 4: the draft, the continuity on offense. Everything looks great. Okay,

835
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 4: what does it look like now? Week one in New Orleans?

836
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 11: Right?

837
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 5: And you know, looking at their schedule, right, you need

838
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 5: to say split the division games. There's really nobody on

839
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 5: here that like scares me. Right, we don't have the

840
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 5: Chiefs or the Bills or the Eagles. I don't think

841
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 5: they're on here either, right, So no, Ravens, no Ravens,

842
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 5: So you're not playing like the top encheline of the league.

843
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 5: So you can definitely find your way being a wild card,

844
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 5: if not winning this division some way right because they

845
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 5: always compete really well I think within the division. I

846
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 5: think one thing that I would probably push back on

847
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 5: in his reporting or his perspective is we don't need

848
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 5: or the Cardinals don't need Kyler Murray to take them there.

849
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 5: They just need him to play solid football. He doesn't

850
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 5: need to be MVP caliber. He just needs to be solid,

851
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 5: make good choices, and sometimes the good choice is throwing

852
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 5: the ball away and not you know, like the Seattle

853
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 5: game that we saw last year, trying to force something

854
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 5: that isn't there and be superman. Just throw it away.

855
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 5: Let the defense play, because I think the defense is

856
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 5: much improved, especially upfront. But if this team can run

857
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 5: the ball with Connor's and we see Trey Benson growing

858
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 5: and being there, de Marcardo being this explosive guy. You

859
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 5: got Trey McBride, right, those guys, get them, those guys

860
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 5: the ball. Allow this team to grow together. It doesn't

861
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 5: have to all be on Kyler's back or he takes

862
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 5: us there. He's just a part of it and not

863
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 5: doing anything detrimental that's going to prevent this team or

864
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 5: put this team in a bad situation. When we talk

865
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 5: about turnovers, and.

866
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 3: When Kyler meets some media during camp and he says,

867
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 3: you know what, it's critical that I do the boring stuff,

868
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 3: I think that's code for what you just said, the

869
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 3: boring what Kurt Warner used to call the layups. Take

870
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: the layups, you know. Des Now, as for the schedule,

871
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 3: I mean there's potential here in the second half. You know,

872
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 3: you mentioned two primetime games right now, but effective week thirteen,

873
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: you can flex that game at Tampa into primetime. Let's

874
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 3: say Tampa's leading the NFC South, Cardinals are leading the

875
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: NFC West. You got Kyler against Baker two heis and

876
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 3: winners at Oklahoma. I think there's a lot of intrigue

877
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 3: right there at Houston Kyler and CJ.

878
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 4: Stroud.

879
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: If Houston's everything they think they're going to be, that

880
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 3: could be a real premier matchup. And then those last

881
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 3: two games could be Saturday in primetime as well, potentially

882
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 3: at Joe Burrow and the Bengals. And then, of course,

883
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: if it's Cardinals and Rams, for the division title. That

884
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: could be something they flex into more of a primetime spotlight.

885
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 3: So once again, if the Cardinals win, I think they

886
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 3: will get a lot more exposure the last month or

887
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: two of the season via primetime games.

888
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 4: It's not just rap sheet that is high on the

889
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 4: Cardinals this season. The Pat McAfee show, Dan Orlowski, ESPN

890
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 4: football analyst, NFL analysts yesterday talking up the Cardinals in

891
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 4: the NFC West.

892
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 8: I think Arizona with Jonathan Gannon, just has an edge

893
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 8: to them that is going to be physical. They're gonna

894
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 8: play violent football. Sometimes when I watch their tape of

895
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 8: defense last year, I go, I have no idea what

896
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 8: this defense is doing in a way that they got

897
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 8: a good young coordinator.

898
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: Man.

899
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, and like they were hurt last year at the

900
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 8: defensive line position with their young I think Robinson, who

901
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 8: they took out.

902
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 5: Of Missouri, he's healthy. This year they signed Sweat.

903
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 8: It's Marvin Harrison's second year. I think Arizona's a player

904
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 8: in that division as well.

905
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 4: You just look at the other teams in the division.

906
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 4: The uncertainty in Los Angeles is Matthew Stafford going to

907
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 4: hold up? Yes, he's back on the practice field. But

908
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 4: for the first what handful of weeks in the training camp,

909
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 4: there was uncertainty about Stafford Seahawks dangerous year two with

910
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald and then the forty nine ers who basically

911
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 4: have revamped their roster letting guys go. But you still

912
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 4: have Christian McCaffrey, you still got George so there are

913
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 4: still names there, I do think. So this is a

914
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 4: division that is up for grabs, and again, health is

915
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 4: always going to be the number one factor. But it's

916
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 4: a division where I can make a case any team

917
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 4: can win, and it's a division where I can make

918
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 4: a case any team can finish fourth.

919
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, very easily. And so it's going to come down

920
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 5: to the Cardinals being better in the second half, right,

921
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 5: and that's typically what they've done, even the year when

922
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 5: they made the playoffs, they started kind of fizzling down

923
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 5: the stretch. Last year, we thought, what I picked them

924
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 5: as a playoff team, and it looked like that for

925
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 5: the first you know, eight to nine games, and then

926
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 5: they kind of faded away. I think with the additional talent,

927
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 5: you know, we just heard Dan mentioned sweat. Obviously Kalais,

928
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 5: they got some young players that are in here now

929
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 5: that I think are definitely an uptick. We got Marvin

930
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 5: Harris Junior going into a second year. They can finish

931
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 5: strong and a lot of the times that takes a

932
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 5: little bit enduring, some vent wisdom and understanding and keeping

933
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 5: things in perspective, because sometimes we have a young team,

934
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 5: they don't know what they don't know, and it gets

935
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 5: long form and you don't have nobody to kind of

936
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 5: put a a fellus, we need to do this. This

937
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 5: is how you get through it. This is how you

938
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 5: finish strong. And so I think with those additions, that's

939
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 5: gonna that needs to be the biggest difference how they

940
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 5: finished the season off, because they typically start fast and

941
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 5: pretty well, especially when we look at this roster in

942
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 5: New Orleans, right, Carolina Panthers, you just mentioned San Francisco

943
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 5: kind of being in a flux, Tennessee and the Colts. Right,

944
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 5: the Seahawks are going to be physical. They're always physical,

945
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 5: but this team could be sitting at well like five

946
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 5: and one. If you look at this, that's not like

947
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 5: a reach. But then how do you finish that off

948
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 5: is always the key? Right, You bank games in September

949
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 5: and October, but the money when you go to cash

950
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 5: in is though, November and December, and that's traditionally, at

951
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 5: least the last couple of years where we started to

952
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 5: fade a little bit.

953
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 3: I think that's one of the reasons why Johnathangan ran

954
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 3: more friction at this camp, just to be a little tougher,

955
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 3: little more football callous, to get the body used to

956
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 3: what it feels like in November and December, and maybe

957
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 3: the Cardinals respond accordingly. I do feel better about my

958
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 3: playoff prediction a year ago, so was on board with

959
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 3: that too. You know, I was the guy went with

960
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three dip for a twenty twenty four and

961
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 3: I guess I was just a year ahead of my

962
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 3: time in that one. Although NFL dot com they have

963
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 3: a couple of writers who picked every single game, two

964
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy two games, and then they came up

965
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 3: with the records. Writer number one has the Cardinals and

966
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 3: last at eight and nine and the Bears edging them

967
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 3: out for the final wild card at eight to nine.

968
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 3: Wrter two has three teams in the NFC West making

969
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 3: the playoffs at ten and seven. None are the Cardinals. Oh,

970
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: they have the Seahawks, the Rams, and the Niners, all

971
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 3: going ten and seven and the Cardinals nine to eight.

972
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 3: So if they're looking for a little motivation, go grab

973
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 3: that article today on NFL dot com and put it

974
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 3: on the old Bolton board.

Speaker 4: That is a balanced NFC West. Again, games are played
