1 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Welcome berg Gang. It's cliche yet true. Always easier to 2 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: make adjustments and corrections after I'll win. That's where the 3 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals find themselves on this Tuesday. One area to improve 4 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: upon the deep passing game. The team didn't take many 5 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: shots down the field, though there was a reason which 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: we'll get into. Hasan Reddick the new role as an 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: outside linebacker suits him quite well. Plus we'll go inside 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: the NFC West. How did the rest of the division 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: fair in Week one? It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode three eleven, 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:45,319 Speaker 1: and it starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: Craig griga Lu and Mike jarecki. Cardinals Cover two is 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: presented by Hyunday, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and 13 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. Visit Easy Cardinals dot com Slash podcasts. 14 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Murray rolls to the right, throws near sighte of fens 15 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: Bot pennies into the ends off to the touchdown. Here's 16 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: Craig Grielou and Mike Jareckie. So there's a twenty four 17 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: hour role in the National Football League. You're supposed to 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: leave what happened on Sunday by Monday night, Tuesday morning. 19 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: But MJ, I don't know. Here we are on a 20 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: Tuesday and I'm still feeling good. So I'm going to 21 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: extend this just for myself and maybe the bird gang 22 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: will join me, maybe you will as well. I'm going 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: to extend this to a forty eight hour rule and 24 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: enjoy the win in San Francisco for another day. Yeah, 25 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: and listen, you know, we're definitely going to get into 26 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: the Washington football team. But when I get to Wednesday 27 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: and we get the first injury report, and obviously that's 28 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: when the heavy install is between Wednesday and Thursday. So 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: I'm with you. Now, if they lost, maybe we're starting 30 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: to talk about the Washington football team. But hey, let's 31 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: enjoy it. It hasn't happened for a while. You know, 32 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: getting off to a good start. There's three things that 33 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: we talk about going up there. It was a road game, 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: it was a division game, it was a conference game. 35 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: So it's very important for this organization of this team 36 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: to get off to a good start. And now the 37 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: question is, or the issue at hand is protecting home 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: field with back to back home games with Washington and 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: Detroit coming to State Farm Stadium, and we'll have to 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: ask because it has been a topic of conversation since 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: immediately after the ballgame on Cardinal Talk. As much as 42 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: everyone was excited about the fourteen catches for DeAndre Hopkins, 43 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: the question is when you look at the final individual statistics, Well, 44 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald only had four catches. Kenyan Drake had two catches, 45 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: which is one more than Christian Kirk. Certainly, with your 46 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: number three wide receiver, you would hope that Kirk becomes 47 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: more of a focal point. But it's hard to get 48 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: touches for everyone involved. Yeah, and I know a lot 49 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: of people you know on Twitter through in the game, 50 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: I wish Kingsbury would stop the dinkin dunk. Listen, They're 51 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: gonna do what the defense gives them. And that's the 52 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: reason why Kyla Murray was able to run eleven times. 53 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: He should have had one hundred yards. Obviously, the two 54 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: kneel downs cost him five and four yards, so that's 55 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: nine total. You know, Larry Fitzgerald, he's a guy that's 56 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: gonna get bracketed with over the top coverage and then 57 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna get underneath. He's very savvy. He finds the sticks. 58 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: You know, Dan Arnold, I would have assumed that he's 59 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: going to get targeted more. You know, Max Williams obviously 60 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: was a guy out there. Christian Kirk that's you know 61 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: again targeted five times one reception for zero yards. So yes, 62 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: we look at sixteen targets for Hopkins, fourteen catches one 63 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one yards. He average about eleven yards 64 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: to catch. But I do think at some point you're 65 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: gonna have to spread the ball around, and obviously every 66 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: week's going to be different. You look at the secondary 67 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: with the Redskins, which we will get in later in 68 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: the week. But again, at the same time, these guys 69 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: are willing to sacrifice numbers for wins. Look, it's a 70 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: good problem to have, and I think we should kind 71 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: of reserve complete judgment for a few more games. Yet 72 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: at the same time, you do want to spread it 73 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: out and you don't want to just focus on one individual. 74 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: But if you're looking from Kyler Murray's perspective and the 75 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: defense is taking away everything else and Hopkins is one 76 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: on one, I'm sorry, I'm looking at number ten direction 77 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: every single time until that defense shows that they're going 78 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: to bring another safety over the top or double him 79 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. And then that's when fits 80 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: Kirk Isabella and so on and so forth. That's when 81 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: they become a little bit more featured in the offense. Yeah, 82 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals had a great game plan based on 83 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: the matchups. I mean, Richard Sherman plays sides, so in 84 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: other words, you saw Hopkins line up pretty much on 85 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: the majority on the left handed side. And there'll be 86 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: time there in bunches where you have all three receivers, 87 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, just a yard apart from a each other, 88 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: all running different routes. And Kyler Murray, you know, he's 89 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: he said, the game slowing down for him, and you 90 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: could see who's going through his progressions trying to extend plays. 91 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: If guys are open, he's going to find you. And 92 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, Dan Arnold didn't get a you know, enough 93 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: touches to where we're sitting here clamoring for him to 94 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: get more touches. But if you go back to them 95 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: the touchdown pass the Chase Edmonds, if you look at 96 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: the replay, dan Arnold actually froze the linebackers and Chase 97 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: Edmans froze the linebackers, and Murray gave him the ball 98 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: at the exact time and he gets to the end zone. 99 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: So it doesn't show in the in the stat sheet, 100 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: but if you watch the game, they had effects on 101 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: the scoring play in that drive. I think people had 102 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: an expectation and we did as well, on what this 103 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: offense could look like and the potential, and I think 104 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: some of us wanted to see it right out of 105 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: the gate. And I don't fault anyone for thinking that. 106 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: Yet It's cliche, but it's true. You take what the 107 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: defense gives you and you call it dink and dunk, 108 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: and that kind of gets frustrating because at the same 109 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: same time, that forces you as an offense to now 110 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, have to go on eight, nine, 111 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: ten play drives in which more mistakes are potentially can happen, 112 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: as opposed to maybe a two, three, four play drive 113 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: in which you have that chunk play. And we didn't 114 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: see a lot of chunk plays. But because of what 115 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers were showing defensively, according to head 116 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: coach Cliff Kingsbury, there were a lot of two high 117 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: safety looks, so that was taking away the deep shots 118 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: and allowing the Cardinals to throw underneath. In fact, according 119 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: to Next Gen stats Kyler Murray short pass attempts twenty 120 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: two of twenty eight for one hundred and seventy three 121 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Those are great numbers, and bottom 122 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: line is did you score and did you win? Yeah? 123 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: And they are much more effective on third down. They 124 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: are much more effective in the red zone. I mean, 125 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: those are two issues. Last year he only was able 126 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: to get sacked twice. And you know, I'm sure that 127 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: the one he did run on a bounce you to 128 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: where it does go on the offense and everyone's going 129 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: to think about the offensive line. So yeah, no, I'm 130 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: not using the word dinkin dunk that's what people were saying. 131 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: But again, listen, they watch so much film. I trust 132 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: what they do. It may not be pretty, it may 133 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: not what you want, but again, this is a week 134 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: to week proposition and you're going to see different guys 135 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: get targeted. Would have surprised me at the end of 136 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: the year if DeAndre Hopkins has one hundred and forty 137 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: five targets. No, that's why he's a number one wide receiver. 138 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: That's why he lines up on the outside, that's why 139 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: he gets separation and he gets off press coverage. He 140 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: is one of the dynamic wide receivers, and again you 141 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: start looking at the quarterback wide receiver combo. It's the 142 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: most exciting right now in the National Football League. And 143 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: even when a receiver like that is covered and sometimes 144 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: maybe even double teamed, they still find a way to 145 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: get open and sometimes you still have to throw them 146 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: the football. Well, Hops said that darn his press conference. 147 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: If the they want to roll coverage over on me, 148 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: meaning he's going to get a corner at the line 149 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and then they're going to roll a safety 150 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: over said they don't want any deep ball, but we 151 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: know that he's effective in the slant pass, he's effective 152 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: in the open field. He's gonna get yards for catch 153 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,559 Speaker 1: and that you know how I feel. And if teams 154 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: want to put a spy on Murray, that means somebody 155 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: else is open. So just be patient. We haven't even 156 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: seen what this offense can look like. I'm telling you. 157 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: When they go with the hurry up offense, no huddle, 158 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: and you could see it last year in the fourth 159 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: quarter the Lions had their hands on their hips. You 160 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: could see that from the Niners in the fourth quarter. 161 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: They're not where the Cardinals are when it comes to 162 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: pace of offense, and they did that the entire training camp. 163 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: This team will take it shots down the field when 164 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: opportunities present, correct itself, and Hopkins brought that up. Yeah, 165 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: we will throw the football deep quote. But the name 166 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: of the game is winning end quote. So I don't 167 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: think it's so much frustration as opposed to looking at 168 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: the final stat line and seeing just how top heavy 169 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: the past receiving was. Yet at the same time, you 170 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: will in San Francisco, you're one and open the first 171 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: time since twenty fifteen. And I'm sure some of it 172 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: is also fantasy football related as well, that certain guys 173 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: aren't getting their looks. Well, let's be honest. If they 174 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: lose that game and you bring up a stat that 175 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald didn't get a single catch in the second half, 176 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: what's the first thing we say, how do you not 177 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: get Larry Fitzgerald involved? I mean, Christian Kirk. If you 178 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: lose the game, then that opens up for criticism because 179 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: you're thinking you have more than just one receiver and 180 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: the teams are aware of it. But it will happen. 181 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: You just got to be patient, and I think we 182 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: might see more of the same as far as that 183 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: quick passing game, the shorter passes getting the ball in 184 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: open space this coming week, because this Washington defensive line 185 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: is just as good, some will say better than the 186 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers defensive line. And we'll get 187 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: more into in depth later in the week, but Washington 188 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: had eight sacks against Carson Wentz. He had hardly any 189 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: time in that pocket. And if you're Kyler Murray, you 190 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: don't want to get hit, so you're gonna throw the 191 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: ball get rid of it a lot quicker than perhaps 192 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: against another team. Yeah, and he had two interceptions. I'll 193 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: take the Cardinals running backs. I'll take the Cardinals wide receivers. 194 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: You the way that zach Ertz and Dallas guard that 195 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: one of their draft picks, I would probably take their 196 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: tight ends, but I'll take the Cardinals running backs. And 197 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: the fact is that you know they've invested five number 198 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: one picks on that d line. And so we got 199 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Justin Pugh earlier in the 200 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: week and he said they may be deeper at the interior. 201 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: And that's saying a lot because the Niners have invested 202 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: a ton of draft picks on their front flour and 203 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: there are another team that rushes for without blitzing. So 204 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals offensive line hopefully everyone's healthy and 205 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: they good to go. I'm not post to Lamont Gilliard. 206 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: He's a strong player. He played at George, he played 207 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: in the SEC. SEE. He went against a lot of 208 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: good defensive tackles in that conference, especially playing in some 209 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: of those big bowl games. So you know, you'd like 210 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: to have your five starters. But this team will try 211 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback rushing four and they have 212 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: the bodies to do it. I'm glad you brought up Gilliard. 213 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: We still do not know his exact status talking about 214 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: Mason Cole getting hurt and Gilliard stepping in. But Pugh 215 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: was very complimentary Lamont Gilliard earlier, calling him actually the 216 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: MVP of the game because he played almost the entire 217 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: second half in which the Cardinals turned the game around. 218 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: So that's saying something for someone who played his first 219 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: offensive action in the NFL. Didn't play at all last year, 220 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: And what do we hear last late last year, probably 221 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: after maybe the Week six seventeen game when locker clean out, 222 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: who was the MVP of the offensive line? Then Justin Murray, 223 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Justin Murray, and because these guys have an hand, the 224 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: opportunity to get, you know, playing time. Murray starts twelve game, 225 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: he plays in fourteen. He's the cardinal swing tackle. Lamont 226 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: Gilliard didn't even sniff the field last year. But because 227 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: he's been in the system for a second year in 228 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: a row, and we know that Sean Coogler trust these guys, 229 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: whether it's Max Garcia, whether it's Justin Murray. So you know, 230 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: you'd like to have your five starters, but I don't 231 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: think there's a huge drop off. I think he's actually 232 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: more athletic than Mason Cole. Well, and give him credit 233 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: for being at the ready and then when your number 234 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: is called, taking advantage of it. It's we say it 235 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: all the time, you have to be ready at a 236 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: moment's notice. In this case, it was at a moment's notice. 237 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: It was early in the third quarter. In fact, it 238 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: was that first drive of the third quarter in which 239 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: Mason cole goes down with a hamstring injury and Gilliard 240 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: comes in. Cardinals trailed at that point thirteen to ten, 241 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: and they end up scoring fourteen points with Gilliard as 242 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: your starting center. Well and I think the reason why 243 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: they went with a Q Shipley last year because he 244 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: was a veteran guy and it helps making the calls. 245 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: You know, according to Pew, it didn't seem like he 246 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: got a whole lot of help from his guards. He 247 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: was familiar with the with the checks. Obviously, you know, 248 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: they didn't go to a silent count because no fans, 249 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: but there was crowd noise. But that's to me something 250 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: to build on, and you give him another start, and 251 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: who's to say he won't be your future center. Obviously 252 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: they're investing in Mason Cole. Mason Cole obviously was the 253 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: starter for a reason. But you can never have enough depth. 254 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: And I like where they are with their top eight 255 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: or nine guys, and that's Max Garcia, Justin Murray and 256 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: Lamont Gilliard.

Well, there are a couple unsung heros, 263 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: guys that stepped up on Sunday that typically you wouldn't 264 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: expect or you're not counting on. Yes, we expect big 265 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: things out of Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, Kenyan Drake, Chandler Jones, 266 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, Buddha Baker. But it's those other players that 267 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: sometimes don't get a lot of the attention. Well, one 268 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: of those players, Hassan Reddick, has received considerable amount of 269 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: attention because a former first round traffic thirteenth overall, someone 270 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: who has bounced around inside, outside, inside, now back outside 271 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: a number of different defensive coordinators. Yet he might have 272 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: finally found his spot, his role within this defense and 273 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: at his plane outside linebacker Craig they need him and 274 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: hopefully puts good tape out there. I know the Carlinson 275 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: pick up his fifth year option, but he's here for 276 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: the entire year and a lot of people thought maybe 277 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: he would be a cap casualty that was never going 278 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: to happen. He's really behind Chandler, Jones and Kennard. He's 279 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: your really number one outside linebacker along with Kylie Fitz 280 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: and Kylie Fitz doesn't have a lot of and let's 281 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: be honest, I mean, Reddick can play on special teams. 282 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: He may not be the biggest guy, he's a great 283 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: guy in the locker room. He understands his roles, and 284 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: I think he's confident and he's comfortable, you know, coming 285 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: off the bench. I'm sure he wants more playing time, 286 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: but it's a perfect scenario for him to go out 287 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: there and there's not a ton of pressure on him. Now, 288 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: just go out there and play football. He addressed the 289 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: media earlier via video conference call, talking about how comfortable 290 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: he feels at outside linebacker. Quote, I'm loving the role 291 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: end quote. He was on the field MJ on Sunday 292 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: for thirty snaps, more than Isaiah Simmons, and not many 293 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: more or less than some guys like a Devon Kannard 294 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: who was on the field for thirty four snaps. So 295 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: perhaps it was just week one or the game plan 296 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: for week one. But if this is the season in 297 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: which Reddick kind of breaks out, breaks free, then he'll 298 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: be in this league long term. I don't know if 299 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: it will be with the Cardinals, but he needs to 300 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: be able to show. Now do it again next week, 301 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: do it weekend and week out, be that consistent player. Well, 302 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: we remember his rookie season, you know, obviously they looked 303 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: at it is possibly you know, a guy that can 304 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: play with his hand in the dirt in a four 305 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: to three, and then you find out he's more much 306 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: better and effective on the outside. So I don't see 307 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: his role changing unless an injury occurs. But I think 308 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: he's going to play outside. Now let's talk about Isaiah Simmons. 309 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: He logged eighteen snaps total. He lined up in the 310 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: box slot, defensive line in outside corner. While what he 311 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: did in coverage, however, was nothing we saw from and 312 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: when he was at Clemson. So on eight coverage snaps, 313 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: he was targeted three times, he allowed three catches for 314 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: eighty six yards, and he was on the back end 315 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: of two touchdowns. You're talking about Pro Football Reference. Pro 316 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: Football refer their grades the Cardinals and specifically Simmons. Yeah, 317 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: he was on the field for that raheemo stert seventy 318 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: six yard catch and run. Whether Simmons was beat or 319 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: he didn't have the correct stance kind of looked like 320 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: he was off bound trail a little bit. And then 321 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: the Jerick McKinnon touchdown in the fourth quarter that was 322 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: seemed like to be more of a pick play, and 323 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: McKinnon was wide open on the left side. There was 324 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: no one within five or six yards, so that could 325 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: have been any one person's fault or a collective group. 326 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: You got to go back and figure out, Okay, what 327 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: happens when this happens, and you can't have guys run 328 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: into one another, and that's exactly what happened on that play. Well, 329 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: I mean it was blatant on He's just trailed to 330 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: play and different. You know, again, he's not gonna have 331 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: the same angles in Collagen to me when he watches film, 332 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: He's gonna learn. And I'm not saying that he's not 333 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: gonna be out there because he was he started the game, 334 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: and when they went to three inside linebackers. He's going 335 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: to be involved in sub packages and you know, I 336 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: know they want to slow playing him, but he as 337 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: the ability in the in the versatility to play different positions. 338 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: I think he'd be much better in the front seven, 339 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: allowing him to rush to pass her on some of 340 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: their sub packages. We know teams are going eleven personnel, 341 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: which is three wide receivers, one tight end, one back, 342 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: but they're going to find a role from You don't 343 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: draft a guy eighth overall. But once again, you're gonna 344 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: have to temper your expectations. We'll see a stamp count 345 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: from the month of September, October, November, and December, and 346 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: we're having this conversation next year. I expect him to 347 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: be every down player, and we talked about this during 348 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: Monday's show on how the Cardinals started defensively with two 349 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: down lineman Corey Peters, Jordan Phillips, and as you mentioned, 350 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: five linebackers Chandler Jones, Devandre Campbell, Jordan Hicks, Devon Kinard 351 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: and Isaiah Simmons. Now that's the package that we've heard 352 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: Vance Joseph talk about because of the talents amongst your linebackers, 353 00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: specifically your inside linebackers. Yet maybe you substitute a Simmons 354 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: for a Reddick because obviously Reddick showed on Sunday that 355 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: he deserves more than the thirty snaps that he received 356 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: because of how effective he was on the field. And 357 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm happy for him because one nice guy puts in 358 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: the work, and you want guys like that to be successful. 359 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: You don't root against anyone like that. It's just when 360 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 1: you're a first round draft pick, there's a ton of 361 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: expectations and sometimes it's hard to live up to those expectations. Well, 362 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: if you want to look at it, I mean give 363 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: canar In Campbell a ton of credit for the goal 364 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: line stance, But I mean Chandler Jones is gonna log. 365 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: You know, he's a three down edge rusher. He may 366 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: come off the field just to get a breathe there. 367 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: Maybe they feel like, you know, if it's in the 368 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: fourth corn they got a lead. But I do think 369 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: Reddick's gonna eventually start to, you know, split time with 370 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,479 Speaker 1: Canard's clearly the starter. But that means these guys are 371 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: going to be fresh in the third and fourth. That 372 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: means they'll be fresh in October and November and December. 373 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: So the other plan, and you know, we'll see how 374 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: some of these other draft picks, between Lucky and Rashard Lawrence, 375 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: because their snap counts weren't the same, at least I 376 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: thought they would get more time, but they're they're young players. 377 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: And Corey Peterson once again had about seventy percent of 378 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: the snaps, so he's a veteran guy. Jordan Phillips. You know, 379 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: I think he'll get more snaps than Zach Allen. I 380 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: think he'll get more snaps, and then black Son he's 381 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: probably going to earn more playing time. So I really 382 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: like the rotation what they have in the front seven. 383 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: And I want to right now you bring up Corey 384 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: Peterson how much he was on the field and still 385 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: maybe more than we anticipate. Let's go back to what 386 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: we talked about in the training camp, the known versus 387 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: the unknown. Guys that are in their second season in 388 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: this defensive scheme, Devon Kinnard, A Jordan Phillips still learning. 389 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: They're kind of brand new. Yes, you might look good 390 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: in practice, but when it's real, live game action, how 391 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: do you adjust? How quick are you? Are you thinking 392 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: out there or are you reacting? Maybe right now Devant 393 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: Canard is thinking and a Hassan Reddick is reacting because 394 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: there is only four snaps difference between the two. Canard 395 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: had thirty four, Reddick had thirty. So for one week, 396 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: maybe it's the opposite next week or in two weeks. Well, 397 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: I gotta think they found something there. I mean Reddick 398 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: he can rush the passer and he plays on teams. 399 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: Just like Kennard. He can rush the passer and his 400 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: average about seven seven and a half sacks the last 401 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: three years when he's with the Giants and Alliance. Of course, 402 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: a couples came against Kyler Murray in Week one last year. 403 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that's going to be the recipe 404 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: for the entire season. I think they're going to ride 405 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: the hot hand in the second half. Well, it's kind 406 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: of like we talk about a running back who's got 407 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: the hot hand and you keep feeding, then you keep 408 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: feeding them. Same thing can be said defensively, especially when 409 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: you have a rotation, whether that's on the defensive line 410 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: or the linebacker. Maybe not so much in the secondary 411 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: for guys who are on coverage, because you kind of 412 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: get familiar with a wide receiver or tight end that 413 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: you're constantly lining up against and you kind of see 414 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: their tendencies. I don't think Chandler Jones is going to 415 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: be coming off the field a lot, but if there 416 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: are guys behind him that are stepping up. Yeah, maybe 417 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: we do see more of Reddick than Kenard. Maybe we 418 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: do see more of Reddick than and in Isaiah Simmons, 419 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: at least initially and that's just sometimes it's going to 420 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: take a little bit longer for some guys to kind 421 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: of quote unquote get it. If you will. Yeah, I 422 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: still think Canard in Chandler Jones in their base defense. 423 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: I still think they're the outside linebackers, but teams want 424 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: to spread you out. Don't be surprised if Reddick comes in. 425 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: But I do think that that's something to follow Kennard 426 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: in Reddick snapcount because I think they got a good 427 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: one two punch when it comes to the starter for 428 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: the reserve Campbell and Hicks. By the way, the other 429 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: two inside linebackers played all sixty two of the defensive 430 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: snaps on there and a chorus. Hicks now, in seventeen 431 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: games as an Arizona Cardinal, has yet to miss a 432 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: defensive snap. I don't think he wants to come off 433 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: the field now. He put it this way, it will 434 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: be a story the very first time we see him 435 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: on the sidelines, And if it doesn't come on Sunday, 436 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: then it will come Monday morning when we get the 437 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: official snap counts, and all of a sudden, if it 438 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: says anything less than one hundred percent, it will be 439 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: a story. Because he's now on a little bit of 440 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: a cal Ripkens streak if you will. No, there's no 441 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: doubt about it. And he enjoys to play every game. 442 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: He's the captain on defense and he kind of is 443 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: the coach out there because Vans Joseph is standing on 444 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: the sidelines.

How about MJ we go inside the NFC West, 451 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: How did the rest of the division fair? And a 452 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: couple of postscripts if you will on the forty nine ers. 453 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: We don't need to go to in depth on them. 454 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: We just saw them a couple of days ago, though, 455 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: in listening and reading the forty nine Ers version of 456 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: the recap from Week one. They did not lose their 457 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: first game until Week ten last year and went five 458 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: and one in the division. And here they are off 459 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: to an o and one start. They've got to be surprised. Yeah, 460 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean, date, I'm sure they felt comfortable playing at home. 461 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: I don't get into Super Bowl hangover. I mean the Rams, 462 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: they finished with a winning record last year and they 463 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: got exposure to Super Lease Sean mcvaded, Yeah, I mean, 464 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: I mean they will look up a sleeping giant in 465 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: the years. On the Cardinals, I mean they're gonna have 466 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: to deal with them for the next five to ten years. 467 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: Kingsbury versus you know, Robert Sale and then you throw 468 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: advance Joseph against Kyle Shanahan and Advantage Vans Joseph Again. 469 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: It's about having better players, better personnel. But they woke 470 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: up a sleeping giant, and the Cardinals, you know, you 471 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: start looking at you know, we know they're probably in 472 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: the tier three when it comes to teams. Kyler Murray 473 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: is in the tier three when it comes to quarterbacks, 474 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: and it wouldn't surprise me if we get to I 475 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: don't want to get ahead of myself one week at 476 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: a time. You gotta win these next couple of home games. 477 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: But I think when we can get to October and November, 478 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: I think Kyler Murray and this Cardinal team will be 479 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: in Tier two in the National Football League. We'll knock 480 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: on wood. Let's hope that happens after the ball game 481 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Forty nine Ers offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey quote, 482 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is thinking about what happened last 483 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: season after today end quote. The forty nine Ers now 484 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: on the road at the Jets, first of two straight 485 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: on the road at the Jets and then at the Giants, 486 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 1: and last I heard they are going to stay back east. 487 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: Now it's something that the Cardinals had discussed. I don't 488 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: know if anything official has been determined, because now given 489 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, most West Coast teams stay back east in 490 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: between East Coast games, and much the same thing that 491 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: East Coast teams do on the West Coast. But that 492 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: might be a little bit different because now of all 493 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: the different protocols and much difficult it is now to 494 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 1: kind of keep everyone quote unquote inside a bubble. I 495 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't rule it out now. The testing is definitely working. 496 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: But it makes sense. I mean, if you're the Niners, 497 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: you're traveling from the West Coast, different time zones, it 498 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: makes total sense that they're going to stay back there. Obviously, 499 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: accommodations and you know, trying to get into a bubble 500 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: will be more effective. I wouldn't rule it off for 501 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Again, we haven't heard anything. I know it's 502 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 1: been considered. I guess we'll cross that ridge when they 503 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: get to it. But it makes total sense from a 504 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: football operations standpoint. Did not travel back and forth and 505 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: when you were playing back to East Coast games. By 506 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: the way, a couple of injury items on the forty 507 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: nine ers. Tight end George Kittle did suffer a nice 508 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: brain although he only missed one snap after the hit 509 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: of Buddha Baker, but the forty nine Ers are monitoring 510 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: Kittle and Deebo Samuel placed on injured reserve before that 511 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: contest because according to Kyle Shanahan, he suffered a setback 512 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: in a recent workout. So he's not only going to 513 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: miss the first game, but he's going to miss two 514 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: more games at least as well. So that's a big 515 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: hit for the forty nine ers wide receiver corps. Yeah, 516 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: that's injured reserve to return and right, according to that's 517 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: a stipulation, you missed the first you miss three games 518 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: versus waiting for you week eleven or twelve, and right, 519 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: now the forty nine ers, last place in the NFCUS. 520 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: The Seahawks and Rams both winning on Sunday. Let's touch 521 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: on the Rams. They played on Sunday Night football, beating 522 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys twenty to seven, team the first game ever 523 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: at SOFI Stadium. It looks nice. I'm sure it will 524 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: look even nicer once fans are allowed back in the building. 525 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: But a good job by the Rams offense. Jared Goff 526 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five yards passing, one hundred of 527 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: five of which went to Robert Woods and Malcolm Brown 528 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: rushing for a career high seventy nine yards and two touchdowns. 529 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: Who needs Todd Gurley, Well, then he's throwing cam Akers. 530 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: You throw Robert Woods. He you know, he's a guy 531 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: that obviously gets the ball in his hands. They ran 532 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: the ball forty times, or one hundred and fifty three 533 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: yards ever three point eight to carry. Their longest run 534 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: was fourteen yards from Woods two rushing touchdowns. If you 535 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: can protect Jared Goff and you know they got some 536 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: production from their defense. You know, you know Ellie was 537 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: close to one hundred yards, but for the most part, 538 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and didn't light the scoreboard up. When it 539 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: came to touchdowns, he threw for two sixty six one touchdown. 540 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper ten catches for eighty one yards CD. So 541 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: that's the recipe I think we're going to see from 542 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: the Rams running back by committee, protect golf and then 543 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: try to open up the play action. And Tyler Higbee 544 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: he only had forty yards, but he's a weapon along 545 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: with Jared Evertt when it comes to their tight end position. 546 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: So a little bit different approach from the Rams. And 547 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, I talked about this a couple of weeks ago. 548 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: I thought the Rams would go with a lot of 549 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: two tight end sets, than I was reminded they got 550 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: the best probably slot receiver in the football and Cooper Cup. Yeah. 551 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: And then, of course defensively, Aaron Donald. As Aaron Donald, 552 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: he had a sack still wrecking havoc on opposing offenses. 553 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: And that Rams defense holding the Cowboys to three points 554 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: on six drives and the first half Rams put at 555 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty two total yards. They were nine 556 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: for seventeen on third down, which is over fifty percent, 557 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: as for the Cowboys only three for twelve. So that 558 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: defense got the Cowboys off the field. Mike McCarthy made 559 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: a decision he was going to go for it. Maybe 560 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: he should have kicked the field goal and played for overtime. 561 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: Rams Now like the four nine ers on the road 562 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: for the next two weeks at the Eagles and then 563 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: at the Bills. So the half of the division on 564 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: the road, the other half at home. This coming week, 565 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: including the Seahawks, they'll be the featured game on Sunday 566 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: Night Football as they host the Patriots. Seahawks winning in 567 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: Atlanta on mon Sunday, excuse me, thirty eight to twenty five. 568 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: And this was this was kind of a weird ball 569 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: game because you look at the overall final stats, you 570 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't have thought that the Seahawks won. They had fewer 571 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: first downs, fewer total yards, ran nineteen fewer plays, and 572 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: went three of nine on third down. Yet they were 573 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: two scores better than the Falcons. Yeah, and what is 574 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: it about the Seahawks going to the East Coast? Their 575 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: record has been remarkable And when Russell Wilson provides four 576 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: touchdown passes and you know their defense, maybe they don't 577 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: get the credit because the overshadowed by the offense. We know, 578 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's a defensive minded head coach. But this team's 579 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: not going away. You can plug him in for nine, 580 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: ten or eleven wins and I gotta think they're gonna 581 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: be in that playoff conversation. Now you bring up Russell Wilson. 582 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: He was just about perfect on the day, completed his 583 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: first twelve attempts, finished thirty one of thirty five for 584 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty two yards and four touchdowns. They 585 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: came out throwing, and there's been a narrative in the 586 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: Seattle area and Seahawks fans that they want to see 587 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: more of Russell Wilson throwing the football, dropping back and 588 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: getting the ball into his receivers or in the case 589 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: of Sunday, into the hands of his running back Chris Carson, 590 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: who had two of those four touchdowns. Well, they gave 591 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: up five hundred and six shows to the Falcons. They 592 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: were three for nine one third down. Now the key 593 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: is you want to came the Russell Wilson they wrote 594 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: to protect the football and the fact that he had 595 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: four touchdowns. I think this is the recipe they're gonna 596 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: go with. But I don't know how many games gonna 597 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: win on the road by giving up five hundred and 598 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: six yards. True, head coach Pete Carroll did come out 599 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: after the fact and say we need to be more 600 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: balanced offensively. Carson and Carlos Hi had only had thirteen 601 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: carries between the two of them, And you certainly don't 602 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: want to be one dimensional even if you do have 603 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: a Russell Wilson and you're that successful, because it does 604 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: put added stress on everyone else offensively and your defense 605 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: as well. In the event you're going three and out, 606 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: we are having shorter drives because there's incomplete passes. Yeah, 607 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: just like Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson led the team in 608 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: rushing ready for this, three carries twenty nine yards. Then 609 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: you throw in Carlos Hide, who I thought was a 610 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: good pickup, seven carries twenty three yards. And as you 611 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: mentioned Chris Carson, you know, he had six carries for 612 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: twenty one yards. But in the passing game, Chris Carson, 613 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, had two touchdowns. So once again running 614 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: back by committee, and we had five quarterbacks led their 615 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: team in rushing. They were five and old. Yeah, and probably, 616 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: as I think about it, probably not a great stat 617 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: if you're the head coach and you pick up and 618 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: you see who's leading your team and rushing, and that 619 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: would even include Kingsbury as well. My guess is every 620 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: single head coach would love to have their running back 621 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: a top that as opposed to their quarterback. Well you're throwing, 622 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, Cam Newton obviously he's a different weapon than 623 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was what they had there. I don't know 624 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: if Cam Newton can run seventy five yards every game, 625 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: and I don't know if Kyler Murray can run for 626 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: a hundred yards and get credit for eighty nine. But 627 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: it's not a surprise that their dual threat quarterbacks. And 628 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: it's something you know, I look at Kyler Murray. Besides 629 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, this guy's an athlete and he looks like 630 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: a running back and he can run four to three. 631 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: You know, people are comparing to Russell Wilson when he 632 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: got in the league. Steve Young kind of reminds me 633 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: of Mike Vick. And the good news for Kyler Murray, 634 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't take those big hits, no, and that's something 635 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: that needs to be pointed out, as Daniel Jeremiah did 636 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: on his social media accounts at Move the Sticks. He 637 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: brought this fact up after watching the film of Murray, 638 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: and he said this on Twitter. Quote Kyle Murray ran 639 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: the ball thirteen times for ninety one yards. He slid, 640 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: went out of bounds, or scored on twelve of the 641 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: thirteen runs. He was only tackled one time, pulled down 642 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 1: by the shirt. He's mastered the ability to protect himself 643 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: on the move. It's teaching tape for athletic quarterbacks. End quote. 644 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: That's the area that Murray excels at even a year ago. 645 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: He can run, he can scramble, but he gives himself up. 646 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: He knows not to get hit. And now I don't 647 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 1: even know if he's really been oh maybe what maybe 648 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: once or twice now in seventeen games in which he's 649 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: really been brought down to the ground. Yeah, So when 650 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 1: you're hearing about these mobile quarterbacks, listen, I understand Patrick 651 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: Mahomes to Shawn Watson. You know, Aaron Rodgers, he can run. 652 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: And I'm not comparing, but they're they're they're not like 653 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. The only guy I compare him too in 654 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: the NFL right now is Lamar Jackson. And the Ravens 655 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: are going out of their way by drafting running back 656 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: and going with their tight end sets, he doesn't run 657 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: as much, and maybe there'll be a point in time 658 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: for that. But when it comes to these dual quarterbacks, 659 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: they're not like Kyler Murray. You're talking about four three 660 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: three speed, and I think it's it's part of his 661 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 1: repertoire and that's what makes them so efficient. On game day, well, 662 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: everyone was excited about Robert Griffin the third RG three 663 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: on how effective he was running the ball, but he 664 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: didn't protect himself, and that that's what you have to 665 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: do as a quarterback. You know, it's great when you 666 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: fight for those extra yards, but sometimes it's better to 667 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: dial back and get out of bounds or just slide 668 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: and say, you know what, we'll get those two three 669 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: yards that I could have gotten if I had sustained 670 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: a hit and let someone else be put into that fire. 671 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: Now it was done by design. Now add some ball 672 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: to his upper body. I mean, not to take the 673 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: big hits, but to survive in an NFL season. He 674 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: started sixteen games last year and I really believe, and 675 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 1: even though the numbers don't reflect that. After they played 676 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: the Ravens, you can see he was on the sidelines 677 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: watching Lamar Jackson run a couple of weeks later, he 678 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: started running more and I think that's who he is, 679 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: and I don't think that's going to change. We'll see 680 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: just exactly how much Murray decides to run or is 681 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: able to run. Coming up this week against Washington. It's 682 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: certainly given the Washington defense just how effective Murray will be, 683 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: and that is something that we can certainly get into 684 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: as the week progresses. As we head towards Week two, 685 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: Cardinals and Washington at State Farm Stadium. By the way, 686 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: that is a one oh five kickoff eight thirty am. 687 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: The pregame coverage begins on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. 688 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: And on that note, we're going to put a lid 689 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: on this edition of Cardinals Covered two, presented by Hunday, 690 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals.
