Speaker 1: from Kenyan Drake, always listen to your mom, and from

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki, always silence your cell phones. You're not gonna

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: want to miss this. But first more Buddha Baker talk.

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: It's Cardinals Cover two, episode three thirty six, and it

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with Craig Grigolu

7
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: and Mike Jarecki. Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hyundai,

8
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts.

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: Visit Easy Cardinals dot com Slash Podcasts. Murray rolls to

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: the right throws near sight of Fritz barb Head. He's

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: into the aside for the touchdown. Here's Craig Griolou and

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki. So if we can't get the national media

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: to talk about the Cardinals after a dominating win on

14
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, maybe MJ, we can finally get the

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: national media to talk about a Cardinals player after once

16
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: again named a Player of the Week, and this week

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: Luda Baker NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Can't say

18
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm surprised, MJ. I mean literally the man did everything

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys at at and T Stadium. Yeah, and

20
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: I think you and I were thinking about that as

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: we were doing the postgame show because it was on

22
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: Monday night and not a lot of people know that

23
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: he was playing with a small cast on his thumb,

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: but it allows his fingers to stick out. And then,

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, I've been listening to Sirius XM radio and

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: just from a national perspective, they're saying, based on their

27
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: conversations from Pat Kerwin and Jim Miller, the way he

28
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: plays on Sundays or Mondays in this case, that's the

29
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: way he practices. That's the way he practices. Maybe he

30
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: tones it down a little bit because it's teammates, but

31
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: that's just how he approaches the game. So Kyla Murray

32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: won it, He's won it. Russell Wilson has won the

33
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: award twice. Their punner, Michael Dickinson's won it. So right

34
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: now Seattle has three. We have two, but we still

35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: got a long ways to go. But nice to see

36
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: him get recognized. And I do think, as we pointed

37
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: out over the last couple of days on the Red

38
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Seat Report and Cards Cover two, you know, I think

39
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: he could be up for Defensive Player of the Year.

40
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you got to win thirteen games, you know.

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: You know, one thing I didn't point out was, you know,

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: when it came to Stefan Gilmour, they had a really

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: good defense. And you know, it's not like he had

44
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: a ton of interceptions, but Buddha defensive backs leads him

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: in tackles. You talk about getting to the quarterback and

46
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: you've got to get advanced. Joseph a lot of credit

47
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: because he's using them a little bit different. Maybe some

48
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: of what Tymer Matthew was doing when he was in

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: the system. Filled up the stat sheet on Monday night.

50
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: Seven tackles, attack, his first career interception, a tackle for lass,

51
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: two quarterback hits, a pass defense, and a forced fumble.

52
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: I found this interesting. First Cardinals player since two thousand

53
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: and three Ronaldo Hill to record a sack, an interception,

54
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: and a forced fumble in the same game. And that

55
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: is why Buddha Baker the first career honor NFC Defensive

56
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. And whether or not the national

57
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: media is going to talk about Buddha Baker, Pete Carroll,

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks head coach is going to talk about number

59
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: thirty two on a conference golf with Arizona reporters earlier today. Quote,

60
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker is certainly at the top of his game.

61
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: And then he later added, MJ. You've got to make

62
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: sure you know where he is. End quote. And that's

63
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: something that you've been saying now for the past couple

64
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: of weeks. Yeah, And you know, I was asking b

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Train on the Red Sea report, you know who does

66
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: he remind you? Oh, because you know, you got to

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: look at the size and he's not the biggest guy,

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: but he's very effective when he plays in the front

69
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: seven and closer to the line of scrimmage. And then

70
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: I started thinking, maybe he's the new Earl Thomas in

71
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: this division. Now Thomas, you know, obviously it was very

72
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: successful in Seattle, didn't work out in Baltimore. Is still

73
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: a free agent for different reasons. But you know, Bob

74
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: Sanders was I think he was he had an upper body.

75
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: I think he was a little bigger, but he couldn't

76
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: stay healthy and he was, you know, a good draft pick.

77
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: But unfortunately it's not the case with Budo. He doesn't

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: miss many practices, doesn't miss games unless he has surgery.

79
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I look at him, and you know, it's

80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see how many defensive backs make

81
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl or All Pro because you got Jamal

82
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: Adams up there, and he's very similar. He goes into box,

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: he blitz off the edge. So it's gonna be interesting,

84
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, corner or safety. But for the most part,

85
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: this this division. I like the quarterbacks in this division.

86
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see about Garoppolo. With Gough, I think

87
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: he's been better. And then you got Kyler and Russell

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: Wilson well with Baker, and the comparison to Earl Thomas

89
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: certainly makes sense. From the Northwest and Seattle and University

90
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: of Washington, all of that, and they all know one another.

91
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: In fact, I remember correctly, Baker says he has worked

92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: out with Thomas before in the off season, so it

93
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: certainly makes sense. You've got another former You Dub player.

94
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: And Byron Murphy, who about Buddha, Baker had this to say, quote,

95
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: It's a whole different Buddha when Baker's on the football field.

96
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: And that's something that we all all known because he

97
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: is certainly very reserved, very quiet, a great person, but

98
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: a light switch goes on when he hits the field.

99
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: In fact, Clip Kingsbury called it a savage switch and

100
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: he is always flying around the field talking about number

101
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: thirty two. Yeah, and you know, and I think it's contagious.

102
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, he mentioned that, just like I feel when

103
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Christian Kirch out there, we see more balance, more guys

104
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: are getting targeted, and you know, but for Buddha, I mean,

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a situation where you know, when you see

106
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: the guy that way he tackles and he attacks the fall,

107
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, it kind of wears off and guys like Murphy,

108
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: he's a really good tackler's physical obviously went through some

109
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: a lot of growing pains. He was targeted last year

110
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe late in the fourth quarter and

111
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: they knew the game was over and they kind of

112
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: let up a little bit. Him and Kevin Peterson some penalties.

113
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I mean, you just see

114
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: the improvement. And when you look at you know, Vuddha Baker,

115
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: he's playing his natural position. Then you know, Cliff talked about,

116
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, Byron Murphy, you know, he loves playing in

117
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: the slot because you know, in the whole idea last

118
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: year was Patrick and Alford never came to fruition, so

119
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: he was throwing in the mix. And I always mentioned

120
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: he was covering guys like Julio Jones, and you're gonna

121
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: learn real quick, and just like a quarterback, defensive backs,

122
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: you gotta have a quick memory. So I like where

123
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: they're at. I thought that would be the strength going

124
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: into the season. Unfortunately, you know, they lose Alford, but

125
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: then they go out and get Jakob Patrick. I think

126
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: that position is settling down. Get Jalen Thompson back, Deonte

127
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Thompson's playing better banjo. I like that secondary. I think

128
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: they could help those guys up front in the front. Seventh,

129
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said about year two,

130
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: not just with a quarterback but every NFL player, and

131
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: with Byra and Murphy. You can see at night and

132
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: day just how much more comfortable he feels on the

133
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: field and just being able to concentrate on one position

134
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: and not being bounced around, but playing that slot corner,

135
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: that nickel corner, and on Monday nights, we kind of

136
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: got lost in the shuffle a little bit, in fact,

137
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: maybe a lot because of how everyone else performed defensively,

138
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: and then what Kenyan Drake did on the ground game,

139
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: but when you look at Byra Murphy the eight tackles,

140
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: one tackle for lost, two passes defense, and a fumble recovery.

141
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus graded him very well. And I think

142
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: we're seeing here over the last couple of weeks and

143
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: maybe the entire six game stretch Byra and Murphy really

144
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: coming into his own and being that number two corner

145
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: or that second round pick that the Cardinals drafted two

146
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, and you know, you look at that

147
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: and they decided to go that route. There were other

148
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: guys on the board to could have won receiver, they

149
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: could have went you know, I guess they could him

150
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: on offensive lineman Cody Ford. Obviously Kyloe was pushing for that,

151
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: but this made total sense because you know, you had

152
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: Patrick going in a couple of years of his contract.

153
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: You know, Alford had been injured before, even though they

154
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: were counting on him. Yeah, he's got a bright future

155
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: and you know he's only gonna get better. And you know,

156
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: we always talk about Jimmy Lake. Now he's the head coach.

157
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, Chris Peterson stepped aside and he was tweeting

158
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: during the game, and and he, like I said, he

159
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: won't recruit a guy if he doesn't think he could

160
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: play at the next level. And they've done a really

161
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: good job putting these guys in the NFL. And there's

162
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: a reason why is because they get coached up and

163
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, in the Pac twelve they throw the ball

164
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot. So these guys were ready for the NFL,

165
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: where maybe other schools not as fast. From Murphy and

166
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: now Buddha Baker both you know, obviously Murphy in his

167
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: second year in Buddha Baker with a new contract extension,

168
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: Kingsbury robs Murphy's knowledge of the game and knowledge of

169
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: the defense. And you go back to Week one and

170
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: how that contest ended in San Francisco with Patrick Peterson

171
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: and Murphy both coming with key pass defense as far

172
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: as making sure that was a victory for the Cardinals,

173
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: and of course on Monday Night Football, the two passes

174
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: defense came in that third quarter in which Dallas ultimately

175
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: missed a fifty eight yard field goal. But I think

176
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: now we're starting to see and I know we get

177
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: caught up in these draft picks, whether you're a first

178
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: round draft pick, whether you're a seventh round draft pick,

179
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: you want to see these players contributes right away. Week one,

180
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: we're seeing it with Isaiah Simmons and all to talk

181
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: about where is number forty eight? Yet sometimes we forget

182
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: that it is a huge jump from college to the NFL.

183
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: No matter if you're at Washington or Alabama or LSU.

184
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: It is a huge jump and a huge life adjustments

185
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: for these players to figure out one, do you have

186
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: the skill set, the size, and then ultimately the work

187
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: ethic to stay at the National Football League level, because

188
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: once you're there, you're just one of every other player,

189
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: whether you're drafted in the first round or an undrafted

190
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: free agent off the street. Whoever can contribute, whoever can

191
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: get that production on the field, they'll stick around everyone else.

192
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: Oh they have to find something where else to work. Yeah,

193
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: And you know you look at the draft and you know,

194
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: I know you looked at it every week. When it

195
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: comes to how Talley Apple, who's doing what we know?

196
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: Chase Young and some guys like Joe Burrow are playing

197
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: right away, Derek Brown, you know, Patrick McQueen, Kenneth Murray

198
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: just named some guys obviously receivers because you go through

199
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: our receivers though young guys are playing. Henry Ruggs, Ceedee Lamb,

200
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy. But for the most part, I would say,

201
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: if I'm just guessing, less than fifty percent are actually

202
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: starting from the first round. Starting now. They're part of

203
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: the packages, just like I say, Ah Simmons and veteran

204
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: players were telling us that they missed the preseason. Nobody

205
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: likes the preseason. But right now, the offenses right out

206
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: of the defense, and then you know, the sloppy play.

207
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: Even Cliff mentioned that word in the first four weeks.

208
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: I thought the tackling was better last week around the

209
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: league too, And we're not seeing as many penalties. Let

210
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: these guys play a little bit more. We're not seeing

211
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: a lot of opis and DPIs like we have when

212
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: it was a challenge. So but I just think this

213
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: offseason didn't help anybody when it came to getting ready

214
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: for the regular season. And whenever you get out of

215
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: this rookie class, you just you just pack it away.

216
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: Hopefully they get the mental reps like Private Murphy did

217
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: last year, Kyler Murray, and then you know, come back

218
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: next year and get ready to go. But right now,

219
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: some of these some of these young guys, unfortunately for

220
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: Richard Lawrence he's on ir but lucky Foe too. You're

221
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: gonna get some You're gonna get playing time here. So

222
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: now it's a matter of being part of that rotation.

223
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: It was a hard, long first season for Murphy, and

224
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: remember they wanted to slow play him, but because of

225
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: injuries and in the suspension to Patrick Peterson, they had

226
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: no choice. He had to play right away, and he

227
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: got picked on, as you mentioned, and he was not good.

228
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: But what I like now is, yes, balls are going

229
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: to be completed on defensive backs, and yes Murphy's gonna

230
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: give up a player or two, but he's always right there.

231
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: He's locked in, and he's got a hand right there,

232
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: either close to the receiver or on the ball. He's

233
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: not two or three yards away, but he's running routes

234
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: almost sometimes better than receivers are. And I know Kylo

235
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: de gard, our colleague on Easy Cardinals dot Com, noticed

236
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: that and asked Kingsbury about that and Murphy as well,

237
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: because that's when you know the game is slowed down

238
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: and you've figured it out, you've watched the film, you

239
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: know players tendencies. When you can react and get to

240
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: that spot before the receiver, the pass catcher that's when

241
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: you've kind of the light bulb says, hey, you know what,

242
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: I can play in this lead and not only play,

243
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: but be very successful. Yeah. And the fact is that

244
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: you know he talks about leverage all the time, and

245
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: you know it's about technique and leverage, and you could

246
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: just see the two seeds. He's comfortable and he's confident.

247
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: Even in the media session, he's more comfortable and confident.

248
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: And that's just you know, being thrown in there and

249
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: unfortunately it's not ideal, but you learn and then you

250
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: don't make the same mistakes over and over. And Patrick

251
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: told him when he day drafted him, when a wide

252
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: receiver comes out where you line up across him, watch

253
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: his knees. He can't go any other way without his knees.

254
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: So that's helped them mentally to kind of Okay, is

255
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: he going to run, try to get off press covers

256
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: at the line, and he's gonna have a great matchup

257
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: this seae with Tyler Lockett. I mean, one of the

258
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: better slot receivers in football. They're fast off the break.

259
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: But he feels that if he gets leverage that can

260
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: that can help him. You want you want to answer

261
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: that mj. No, so he gets leverage and you know

262
00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: it really helps him, so must be very important. Mike

263
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: Jarecki in demand here on this Wednesday. No, I usually

264
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: have that thing on non rings. You know, by the way,

265
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: that should be a fine here on Cardinals. We might

266
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: have to check with the bird gang to see what

267
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: the ruling is on this, because this is my person. Now,

268
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: how about five? What's happened? This is? This is the

269
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: first on Cardinals cover two. We haven't had a phone

270
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: go off during our year plus two years here doing

271
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: Cardinals cover two, and I know we're doing it remotely

272
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: and things are a little bit different, but yeah, this

273
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: might be a fine. I don't know. Well, we might

274
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: have to go to the judges to figure this one out. Yeah,

275
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, if let's just say the players get two fifty, um,

276
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: we can reduce it to like maybe two percent. So

277
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: I'll get you guys, we'll put we'll have a look

278
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: what they call what a kangaroo court and put it

279
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: in a pot and we'll go out and buy lunch sometime.

280
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: Fifty cents right there and jay fifty cents. We continue

281
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: here on this Wednesday edition of Cardinals cover two, presented

282
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: by Hyunday, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, a reminder

287
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: ground game for the Arizona Cardinals because stat whiz Mike

288
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: Come of the media Relations department does a great job

289
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: putting together six, seven, sometimes eight pages worth of notes

290
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: all statistics whenever the Cardinals win and you go through it,

291
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: some stick out, some you've already known, and some are

292
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: just kind of part of how the season progresses. But

293
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: when we talk about Kingsbury and this offense, as we

294
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: touched on yesterday, and we even kind of see the

295
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: narrative shifting if you listen to the ESPN broadcast with

296
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: Brian Greasy and Lewis Riddick as far as this is

297
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: an offense that certainly will throw the ball, but predominantly

298
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: they want to run the foot ball. And right now,

299
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: this Cardinals team, in each of the six games has

300
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: rushed for at least one hundred yards. It's only the

301
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: third time in the past forty six years a Cardinals

302
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: team has accomplished that feat. In addition, through six games,

303
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: nine hundred and sixty six rushing yards, the most through

304
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: six games since nineteen seventy six. What happened to the

305
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: air raid, or as Lisa Matthews likes to call it,

306
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: the run raid? That is what this offense is. Well,

307
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: I think he figured it out last year that those

308
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: first four weeks and we had stat was in three

309
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks last year and the Cardinals went on a

310
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: three game winning streak. According to my memories, you know,

311
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: I was able to dive a little bit deeper, Craig.

312
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: They're averaging seven more rushes this year. Now, I took

313
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: the average over the season last year. They're averaging seven

314
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: more rushes, so that's about five percent, okay, And they're

315
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: actually scoring five more points per game this year compared

316
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: to last year over the average. So when you look

317
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: at it, and the Cardinals already have eleven rushing touchdowns,

318
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: they only had eighteen for the entire season last year,

319
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: so they're tipping the scale there. But when you look

320
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: at it, though, they're rushing the ball about forty six

321
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: percent of the time, and they're throwing it about fifty

322
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: four percent last year, they're throwing the ball close to

323
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: fifty nine percent, and they're running the ball, you know,

324
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: maybe like thirty lesser than that. So they've definitely made

325
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: a shift and obviously retaining Drake and then Edmunds. The

326
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: offensive line doesn't get enough credit. Again, they don't have

327
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl players, they don't have all pros, but as

328
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: a collective unit and they had they had, you know,

329
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: replace j R. Sweezy with Murray. So they've definitely made

330
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: their their end of the bargain. And you know, we're

331
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: going to get into Kenyan Drake here because you know,

332
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: when he's been able to do now it's been up

333
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: and down peaks and valleys, but we've got to go

334
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: by what happened most recently how it's going to affect

335
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: this team moving forward well, because of Drake Edmonds, and

336
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 1: we have to factor in Kyler Murray. He is a

337
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: huge part of why this team is successful running the football.

338
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: But they rank fourth in the league and number one

339
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: in the NFC as far as yards per game, number

340
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: two in the league in yards perer carry, and have

341
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: an NFL high eleven rushing touchdowns. So I'll ask again

342
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: what happened to the air raid because the perception of

343
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: Kingsbury is let's throw the football. We obviously know that's

344
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: not the case. He'll do whatever it takes to win.

345
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: And I think a large part of that as you

346
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: brought up the offensive line, Sean Coogler, James Saxon, his

347
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff, Steve Hye, and the tight ends coach all

348
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: collaborating to figure out, this is our personnel, this is

349
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: what we do best. Yes, we'd love to do X,

350
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: but we can only do Y and Z at the moment.

351
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: That's what we learned from Kingsbury last season, and I

352
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: think that's materializing here this season as well well. And

353
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: I think you know usually and for our listeners out there,

354
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: because the Cardinals played on Monday, the coaching staff was

355
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: able to start looking at Seattle film, and then today

356
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, they basically had a walk through because they

357
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: played on Monday night football. That the bodies, so they'll

358
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: really do the install here. So for the most part,

359
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, it's it's a big difference at

360
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: a year ago, and I always felt this way. It's

361
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: a passing lead, but the run sets up the pass.

362
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: Now some teams are throwing the ball close to sixty

363
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: percent of the time. The Cardinals are at fifty four

364
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: percent right now. That's that's down again from last year.

365
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: And there and so in the rushing five point three

366
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: yards to carry their averaging thirty one rushes the game

367
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: last year twenty four And this is just a six

368
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: week sample. But clearly in what I was trying to

369
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: get at is, you know, we think they put the

370
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: game plan during the week, but I've noticed on game

371
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: days there's times in Sex and Kugler and Heyden. We

372
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: know that Hayden said he saw something on the film.

373
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: We know that Kugler there was a one play when

374
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: they showed a highlight of Cliff walking back to the

375
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: to the on the sidelines after our touchdown and he

376
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: told Coogler, a good call. So this is happening during

377
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: the game. It's not just hey, this is our call

378
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: sheet on game day. And I'm not saying they're making adjustice,

379
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: but the stuff that they see and a lot of times,

380
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: you know, when you're the play caller, it's like, Okay,

381
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: I got everything in here. I got my third down runs,

382
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: I got my second down runs. You know here they're

383
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: doing it during the game, and so we're starting to

384
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: see some of the upside from there. He's willing to

385
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: listen to his assistance and willing to listen to his

386
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: players as well, because those are the players who are

387
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: literally in the fire, so to speak. They're seeing it

388
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: much closer, even though the coaches are on the sideline.

389
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: So he is willing to give credit, willing to adapt.

390
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: Yet at the same time, if there needs to be

391
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a push or a kick

392
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: in the butt, if you will, he's willing to do

393
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: that as well, Which brings us to Kenyan Drake, because

394
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: Kingsbury mentioned that he and James Saxon talked to Drake

395
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: about running straight ahead, not worrying about hitting the home

396
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: run every time. Quote, you're going to have those chunk

397
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: plays if you just do what you're supposed to do

398
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: on every play. And he took that to hearts end

399
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: quote talking about Kenyan Drake. Well, that was then relayed

400
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: to Drake and he acknowledged yes, But then he added

401
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: someone else had a hand in what we've seen from

402
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake now over the last six quarters. Because I'm

403
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: going to go back to that third quarter against the

404
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: Jets when I think things really turned. He had that

405
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: one run that lost a couple of yards and immediately

406
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: went to the sideline. Chase Edmonds came in for a

407
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: couple of plays. Drake went back into the ballgame and

408
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: you saw a night day, straight ahead, running, straight ahead,

409
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: running touchdown, and then he closed out the game with

410
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: running between the tackles. Well, after that game, Drake, who

411
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: always talks to his mom, did not talk to his mom.

412
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: They exchange checks, messages, but no phone calls. Well, his

413
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: mom called Drake, this is all according to Kenyan Drake,

414
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: we got this earlier today. Mom called Kenyon before the

415
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: Monday Night contest and asked him, quote, you're going to

416
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: hit some holes today. Quote. So if mom speaks, and

417
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: for all of us, we know when mom speaks, you'll

418
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: listen because there's no larger voice than mom. But it

419
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: was funny to see the reaction because Darren Herban asked

420
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: about the conversation that he had with Kingsbury and Saxon,

421
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: and there was a slight delay, and then all of

422
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, Drake seemed to relax and started to smile,

423
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: and that when he I think thought in his head,

424
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm just gonna let everyone know that

425
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: I got yelled at by my mom. Quote. It just

426
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: kind of really hit home when your my own mom

427
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: is not liking what she sees out there. So I

428
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: had to buckle up, start going north, stout and quote

429
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: make them tackle me going forward on plays. So yes,

430
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and Saxon deserve credit, but Mom and Drake deserves

431
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: some credit as well, and maybe the most credit out

432
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: of all this. Yeah, and you know I followed up

433
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: and because clearly they had a conversation with him on

434
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: the sidelines, okay when they when they put Jase Emmons

435
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: in there, and then when he went back in there,

436
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: things changed. And he basically told us that he had

437
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: sleepless nights because he knew that, you know, this is

438
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: what they wanted him to do, and he wasn't doing that,

439
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: not out of spite. It was just maybe he was

440
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: trying to hit the home run. And we know when

441
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: Sky touches the ball twenty time, it gets twenty carries.

442
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: The team has a good record at least since he's

443
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: been here, and he reached that milestone of that benchmark.

444
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: But he said he's had something. He has some sleepless nights,

445
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: just knowing that you know, they want some different style

446
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: out of him, and kind of remind me some of

447
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: those games with David Johnson, just where you where are

448
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: you going? Why are you trying to bounce outside? And

449
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: then you know when again they chase when he had

450
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: the twenty nine yard touching up the middle, It's like,

451
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: where did Kenyan Drake to score this big touchdown the

452
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: other day up the middle? Sometimes it does take, you know,

453
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: to taking a step back to kind of get a

454
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: different perspective, a different view, and sometimes you do need

455
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: other voices to get into your head and kind of like, hey,

456
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing and

457
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: all that East West bouncing into the outside is not

458
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: why we brought you here. This is not why we

459
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: retained you in the off sea and those sleepless nights.

460
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: He mentioned that his conversation with James Saxon that Saxon

461
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: put his complete trust in me and told me I'm

462
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: the type of back that they want me to be

463
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: here and play in the system. And then Drake added

464
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: that gave me a lot of confidence to just really

465
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: put my head down and grind and go out there

466
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: and play like I'm capable of It's okay, sometimes it's

467
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: not going to always work. But what do you do?

468
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: How do you respond? And I think we've seen that

469
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: in just six games, Drake almost hit a wall and

470
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: then try to figure out, all right, I'm at this wall.

471
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: What do I do? Do I just stop and stare

472
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: at the wall or figure out a way to get

473
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: around the wall. And he's going up and over the

474
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: wall to come up on the other side and be

475
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: that dynamic running back that we all saw on Monday night.

476
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that they didn't try to sleep a

477
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: rounder the rug, you know, just saying, you know, we

478
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: haven't found our traction yet. You know, you know, we've

479
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: been mixing guys in and out of line, which half

480
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: right but not true because you know there are times

481
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: in Garcia and Murray were in there for Sweezy and Pew,

482
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: but it was it was obvious to us in the

483
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: media that he wasn't running the same way. So here

484
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: from the head coach, he confirms it. Here from his mom,

485
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: she confirms that we didn't hear from James Sexon, but

486
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: we witnessed that conversation on the sidelines and he was

487
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: a different runner, which you said in the last six

488
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: quarters that you know, in the second half he had

489
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: ten carries for forty five yards. It's four or five

490
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: four point five yards to carry, so um, and it's

491
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty simple. The Cardinals ran the ball twenty

492
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: times in that second half against the Cowboys, twenty times

493
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: for like, and they had two rushing touchdowns. So yes,

494
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: that's what you want to do when you get a lead,

495
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: and that running backs loved that, and we all knew

496
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: he was going to run the ball and they still

497
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: couldn't stop him. Maybe they just were ready to get

498
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: on the bus and get on their flight to go home.

499
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, again, it's a long season. I

500
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: never he's gonna be a guy that's going to carry

501
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: the ball twenty five three times a game. And you know,

502
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: he was asked about, hum, maybe you're not getting targeted,

503
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: and you know he can't control that. But he also

504
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: said Chase is really good in the passing game. So

505
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: they're they're close. The whole room is close. That means,

506
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin DJ Foster Jonathan warred, they're all close,

507
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: they're all rooting for each other, but there's only one ball,

508
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: and I still think about, you know, getting Chase more involved.

509
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: But you know, again, Chase is that great you know,

510
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: change of pace back and if he ever had a

511
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: carry twenty times, how would he feel after the game?

512
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 1: So I think those are all factors where Drake, you know,

513
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: he's your bell cop well, and I think Drake is

514
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: like a lot of those players in that locker room

515
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: and maybe every single player as long as the team

516
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: is successful, along as the team is winning, then yeah,

517
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: you can be disappointed that maybe you weren't targeted or

518
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: didn't get in a lot of carriers, or didn't get

519
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps, but everyone feels better when you're winning.

520
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing about Drake. Even when we

521
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: try to get the conversation pointed in his direction, he

522
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: always pushes back and brings up the team. In fact,

523
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: the first question he received was just about his performance

524
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: on Monday night, and he gave credit to the offensive line.

525
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: So he's all about the team. That's what I really

526
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: like about Kenyan Drake. He didn't get a game ball

527
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: from the head coach on Monday, but perhaps a fifth

528
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: game ball needs to be delivered to his mom because,

529
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: as Drake said quote, she's never afraid to speak her mind,

530
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: and what she said quote kind of lit a fire

531
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: under me end quote. So if this is a turning point,

532
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: and I'll go back to that third quarter in New

533
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: York against the Jets, if this stretch here is a

534
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: turning point for Kenyan Drake, then by all means, yeah,

535
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: his mom does deserve a game ball. Yeah, they still

536
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: And again, I just think if this team is going

537
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: to be successful, do you have to run the football?

538
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: And you know Murray has had a higher grade and

539
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: Sweezy they're both pretty even at run blocking. Humphreys just

540
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: had really good, probably career games back to back. We

541
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: really don't talk about Justin Pew that much, which is

542
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: a good thing, Mason Cole. So I like where they're at,

543
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: and I think they've had some athleticism when it comes

544
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: to having Justin Murray in there. By the way, if

545
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: you just think we're talking about one game with Drake,

546
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: if you look at what he's done now for six games,

547
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: it's amazing to see that he's fourth in the league

548
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: and rushing yards behind Derrick Henry, Clyde, Edwards Hilaire and

549
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. And he's added about a full yard on

550
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: his per carry average over the last maybe game two

551
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: games it was three steps. So he's had a four

552
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: six right now, just based off what he's done the

553
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: second half against the Jets and for four quarters against

554
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. So I'm look, there's nothing wrong with three seven.

555
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: That's kind of average. But if you're at that four

556
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: or five or higher or even five like he was

557
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: a year ago, when those eight games now, you're at

558
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: an elite level. That's when everything is clicking. The offensive line,

559
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: the blocking, the holes are there for you to recognize

560
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: and you're going through them. You're not, as we saw

561
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: earlier bouncing it left and rights and trying to do

562
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: a stretch play. Sometimes there are calls that have you

563
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: bounced to the outside, but I think we're seeing a

564
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: lot more, especially with Kenyan Drake lowering that shoulder initiating

565
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: the contacts, and if it's just a couple of yards

566
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: in the first quarter or second quarter, those same runs

567
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: get you five six seven yards and the third and

568
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarters. Yeah, as a whole, we have to include

569
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: murdering in here because we know he's a dynamic duo

570
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: and he's a dual thread quarterback. Again, they're averaging five

571
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: point three as a team, eleven rushing touchdowns. Again, they

572
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: had the only eight team last year. They're rushing one

573
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one guards a game, okay, and that's good.

574
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: And we talked about the rushes being up so as

575
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: a team, and we have to include Murray's numbers here

576
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: because he is part of the equation here. Five point three.

577
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: That's nothing to slouch about. I got into it a

578
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: little bit earlier as far as well, you can't factor

579
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: in Kyler Murray. You take his numbers out, and I

580
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: want to see a running back lead the team in rushing,

581
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: and right now, Kenyan Drake does lead the team in rushing.

582
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: But you're right, it's a complete package. You have to

583
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: factor in Kyler Murray because that's what makes this offense successful.

584
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: What he can do with his legs, what the defense

585
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: now has to think about, react to, and maybe even

586
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: put a spy on. And that all helps not only

587
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: the run game, but the past game as well well.

588
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: And there are times when they're designed runs and maybe

589
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: that's why Chase is only averaging five to six carries

590
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: a game. So he's taken runs from a couple of guys,

591
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: but he's very I mean last game, he ever seven

592
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: point four yards of carrying ten carries for seventy four

593
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: yards and a rushing touchdown. So you know, to me,

594
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: you have just like the Ravens, they include Lamar Jacson,

595
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: they're rushing. I mean, not every team, but when you

596
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: have a dual quarterback, I'm sure DeShawn Watson. You know,

597
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes can run when he wants to. He likes

598
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: to throw it like kyler As at times when they

599
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: get outside the pocket. But yeah, I mean I think

600
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: you have to include him in there because if they

601
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: have sixty five snaps a game, you know, and they're

602
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball thirty or thirty five times. I mean,

603
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: that's part of the equation when it comes just the

604
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: running game, let alone the passing game. We'll see how

605
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 1: successful this team is running the football against the Seahawks

606
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: a top ten defense against the run as far as

607
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game and rushing yards per play. That

608
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: defense gives up a lot of yards. But when it

609
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: comes to running the football, they're very tough to run against. Yeah,

610
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: they gotta they have a good scheme, you know. Ken

611
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: Norton Junior has done a good job there. You know,

612
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: Obviously they had good coordinators in the past with Gus

613
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: Bradley and Dan Quinn. But yeah, but I think the

614
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals feel like they can throw on them. But you

615
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: still got to run the ball. Now when you look

616
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: at it though from Seattle standpoint, I mean, these guys

617
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: are like Roaddocks. There were seven and one on the

618
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: road last year, and over the years, Craig, they they

619
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: they've been really good on the road. And like the

620
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: year before they were six and two, or twenty thirteen

621
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: they were six and two, they've been five and three.

622
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: And we go back. We're gonna get into the Seahawks

623
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: obviously over the next couple of days. But you go

624
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: back to that first game. I looked it up earlier

625
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: today and that's when Kyler Murray threw that pick six

626
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Davion Clowney, and you know, he learned how

627
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: to throw the screen pass and now he just throws

628
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: it in the ground and lived for another play parties over.

629
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: But then the Cargos when I went up there late

630
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: in the year and Kyler Murray and you're gonna you're

631
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna quote what he said about that first meeting when

632
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: they went up there. They ran the ball forty times

633
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks, So that could be the recipe because

634
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: that was probably their signature win of the season last year.

635
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: You know, nothing against the Giants and Cincinnati, you know

636
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: some of those games. Obviously they lost both in the

637
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: Niners to the Rams, but they split with the Seahawks.

638
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: But that could be the recipe. And of course Kenyan Drake,

639
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: he had a really good game up there in Seattle,

640
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: so again, I still think they can throw on him,

641
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: but if they can just establish the run play action.

642
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: And I've asked three different people this week, including Christian Kirk.

643
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: I've asked Cliff Kingsbury when Kirk's in the game, and

644
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: I Murray agreed, it just seems like there's I don't

645
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: know if balance the right word, because they're still running

646
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: and throwing, but it just seems like a ball is

647
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: getting spread out more. And I was listening to Dan

648
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: Rolovski earlier and he wanted to talk about these young quarterbacks,

649
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: and you know, he's really knowledgeable. He did play for

650
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: Sean McVay his first year there with Golf, so he

651
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: said he mentioned Murray, Daniel Jones, Baker Mayfield, where a

652
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: young quarterback always tries to go to the number one

653
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver and then after that they improvised well, he said,

654
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: Sean McVay in practice would have the corner, their top

655
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: corner go on the number one wide receiver. So or

656
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: forced golf to start looking at the second and third progressions.

657
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: And it's working now because now he's got you know,

658
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and Robert Woods and you know Kyler. Obviously

659
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: he's he's not concerned about the accuracy. I'll chalk it

660
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: up with the butterflies just going back there. And you know,

661
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: even though he's comfortable, he still got a plan under

662
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: the big lights. And last thing you want to do

663
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: out there and step on your step on your toes

664
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: and not perform. But it's interesting, how you know. And

665
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought that was happening early now. In fairness to

666
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: the Cardinals coaching staff and Cliff and Kyler and hop

667
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: they weren't covering him. But sometimes you can key on

668
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: that number one guy because you know he has to,

669
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, put up big numbers. But I think with

670
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk on the field, Larry and Isabella, even Chase Edmans,

671
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he's forcing the ball to DeAndre Hopkins

672
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: and Hopkins only had two passes for twenty five yards,

673
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he was thrilled with that

674
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: in the first half. You know, he's not forced in

675
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: the issue. He's just miss five on a lot of

676
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: those passes. The Hopkins and the Fits, I mean, I'm

677
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: okay if they're batted down or if they're contested. It's

678
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: when they're overthrown or you're missing them by a wide margin.

679
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: I think that is when the accuracy conversation comes into play.

680
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's footwork release point. You know, you

681
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 1: gotta get comfortable, and he does a really good job

682
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: that you've been out there for the open portion where

683
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: he's just he's on the balls of his feet and

684
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: he's chopping his feet where he can, you know, kind

685
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: of figure it out. But then once you release that ball,

686
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: you got to put that backfoot in the ground and

687
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: then you got to follow through. Obviously, his father taught

688
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: him at a young age how to throw a baseball

689
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: and a football, so I'm not giving any tips he

690
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: doesn't know. But that's something that I first couple of

691
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: weeks I thought, but they weren't covering Hopkins, so it's

692
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: hard to say. Spread it around and when Kirks in

693
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: the game, I just think this offense closed a lot better,

694
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: just like last year when Max Williams came in. I

695
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: thought the offense found their identity going more eleven personnel

696
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: with the tight end. Back to your point about Murray

697
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: and what he had to say about the two matchups

698
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks, they were certainly spread apart, so it's

699
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: kind of a good look as far as where he

700
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: felt most comfortable and that first meeting versus the second meeting,

701
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: he just said, more comfortable in the pocket and in

702
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: the offense. I'll say this much. I guarantee he's happy.

703
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowney is not wearing a Seahawks uniform this week,

704
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: so he doesn't have to worry about that. But he

705
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: did learn a lesson yet to make sure you put

706
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: that ball a little bit more error under it so

707
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: it gets over the outstretched arms with these defenders, because

708
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a six foot four guy looks

709
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: like he's seven five seven seven, And we did see

710
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: a ball batted down at the line of scrimmage on

711
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: Monday night, So it is happening. It's just not happening

712
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: a lot. And I think he is getting used to

713
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: as far as where those throwing lanes are at the

714
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Yeah, the screenplay is interesting because you

715
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: definitely want to sell it and sometimes you need a

716
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: running back unless you're throwing to it. And the Cardinals

717
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 1: have two running backs in the game. Not a lot,

718
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: but there were you know, a couple of plays, so

719
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: to speak, and so then you want to want to

720
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: make sure the lineman rush up the field, and then

721
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: you go back, go back, go back, and then you

722
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: try to and I give him credit because he's not

723
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: taking sacks and he's throwing the ball in the dirt

724
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: when he's outside the pack tackle box, so he's not

725
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: taking an attentional round and lost it down and stuff

726
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: like that. So he's definitely learned from that. I just wish,

727
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: you know, they would run the screen game and defend

728
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: it a little bit better. It's been going on for years,

729
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: and you know, we had Larry Centers here and even

730
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: when Terrell Smith was here, um, they were able to

731
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, had that fullback in there. So it's a

732
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: little bit different out of fullback. But I do think

733
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: when Max Williams comes back, he's going to be your

734
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: h back. He's going to line up in the backfield

735
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: and then obviously be able to chip the guys on

736
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: the edge if they want to spread people out. So

737
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Max Williams come back and hopefully

738
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold and know a lot of hype and I

739
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: was guilty of it. Um. You know, he's just got to,

740
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: you know, focus on blocking and when he's open, he's

741
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: got catch the football bird Gang. Subscribe to Arizona Cardinals

00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: shortened week and a game on Monday, became a little

749
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: bit more difficult to do, so let's kind of squeeze

750
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: it in here on this Wednesday episode of Cardinals Cover two,

751
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: presented by Honday, partner of the Arizona Cardinals. We know

752
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks did not play last week. They'll be in

753
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: town on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. To play the Cardinals.

754
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: So a lot to discuss with the Seahawks over the

755
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: next couple of days. Yeah, and you know you talked

756
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: about last year they played him early and then there

757
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: was a time framing between there where obviously the Cardinals

758
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: Rabi get the victory. Seattle. Is really this five game

759
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: gauntlet and who knows it's the gonna go five and

760
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: oh but at Arizona at home against San Francisco, at Buffalo,

761
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: at the Rams and then they come to and then

762
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: the Cardinals go up there. So from that standpoint, I mean,

763
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: this is a five game gauntlet. Now they do have

764
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: to play the Jets and Giants and redskin excuse me,

765
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: Washington football team in December, and they finish out with

766
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers. So they look at

767
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: this point right here, if they can go four and

768
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: one or three and two, that probably is going to

769
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: be enough to lock up the number one seed in

770
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: the NFC West. Well let'still put the Cardinals put that

771
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: first blemage what is now a five and old record,

772
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: the only unbeaten team in the NFC. You look at

773
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: the rest of the division. The Rams are four and two,

774
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers are three and three, but the

775
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, maybe with some bragging rights on the Rams.

776
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: They beat the Rams on Sunday Night Football twenty four

777
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: to sixteen. Really a surprising outcome, I think if you

778
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: look at it and being honest, the Rams certainly the favorites,

779
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: even though it was one of those games that you know,

780
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: on the road and what they banged up forty nine

781
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: Ers team. Yet Jimmy Garoppolo two hundred and sixty eight yards,

782
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, George Kittle seven catches, one hundred and nine

783
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: yards a touchdown, the forty nine Ers offense looked very,

784
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: very good and kept Aaron Donald on the sideline. I

785
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: don't know how many different cutaways there was on NBC,

786
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: A big number ninety nine watching instead of being on

787
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: the field. And I thought that was telling because the

788
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers took Aaron Donald out of that contest,

789
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: and that's not always easy to do. In fact, it's

790
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: rare to do. And you know, you started looking at

791
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: Trent Williams and everyone thought, wow, they got this guy

792
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: for a third round pick. He clearly was you know,

793
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: didn't want to play and watch it anymore because of

794
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: the medical staff and he's given up sex this year,

795
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: he's jumping out sides, he's got holding penalties, and he

796
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: had an injury in that game. And so that's impressive

797
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: that they were able to do that. And you know,

798
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, you know, they're playing this week, They're playing

799
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. And Bill Belichick said, I'm gone

800
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: against Kyle for a long time when he was in

801
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: Washington as EOC in Atlanta and obviously in the Super

802
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: Bowl he was with the Falcons, and he thinks when

803
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: we talk about all the time, the motion and shifting,

804
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: he said, it's very confusing. So you got to give

805
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, you know, credit. I know, they played the

806
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: Jets and Giants in back to back weeks. They stayed

807
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: up there at the Green Buyer, but those games weren't

808
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: even close. And I know you're supposed to win those games,

809
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: So you know, I wouldn't throw dirt on him. But

810
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: what's interesting is they don't have a winning record at home. Yeah,

811
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: that was their first home win of the season, beating

812
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: the Rams. Yeah, so I think it's gonna go neck

813
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: and neck and hopefully, you know, I think we're all

814
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: going to beat each other up. But this would be

815
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: a really great opportunity for the Cardinals to obviously get

816
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: this game. But yeah, you know, I think the worst

817
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: team in the division could be eight and eighty and

818
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: right now West by like two or three games or

819
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: the eight NFC East. One note injury note as far

820
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: as the forty nine ers are concerned running back where

821
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: he moster hurt his ankle and that might keep him

822
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: out of action for a couple of weeks. And you

823
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: touched on at the forty nine Ers travel to New

824
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: England play the Patriots, and of course the storyline that

825
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: is going to be beaten to death all week long

826
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Garoppolo facing his former team and that decision

827
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: by Bill Belichick to trade Garoppolo to San Francisco. Meanwhile,

828
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: the Rams, they'll host the Bears on Monday Night Football

829
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: and this will try to be a good test for

830
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: the Rams. Jared Goff was very critical of his own

831
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: play against the forty nine Ers one hundred ninety eight yards,

832
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, an interception. Quote, Clearly, it wasn't my best.

833
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: And this Bears defense not a lot of people talking

834
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: about them, but they're a top five scoring defense and

835
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: a little bit under the radar when you talk about

836
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: defenses across the league. Yeah, just look at the record.

837
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: I think they made the right choice home with Nick

838
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: Foles to me as a gamer, you know, obviously it

839
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: didn't work out for him in Jacksonville and they went

840
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: with Carter Minshew, but you know, Nick Foles, to me,

841
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: he's a guy that he may be down early in

842
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: the game, but he's gonna make some throws. Alan Robinson

843
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: doesn't get the credit he deserves. And you gotta give

844
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: Chuck Bucgono credit because it wasn't easy to replace Vic Fangio. Fangio,

845
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, he had that defense rolling, and they make

846
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: that trade for Kloon Mac. I thought Mac had a

847
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: down year last year, but he's back to where he

848
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: is now. And then you throw in some of their

849
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: pass rushers and Eddie Jackson's a really good defender. So

850
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: we'll see. But the Rams definitely aren't trying to run

851
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: the ball more. They're not they're not throwing there. They're

852
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: kind of similar to the Cardinals. They're not throwing it

853
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: as much more balance in or offense, whether it's fifty

854
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: three to forty seven or you know, fifty four to

855
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: forty six, So I think they feel like running back

856
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: by committees working, and I don't think they miss Todd Gurley.

857
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: I really don't. You look at the NFC y standings,

858
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: the Seahawks five and oh, the Cardinals four and two,

859
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: ahead of the Rams, who also are at four and two,

860
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: and then the forty nine ers at three and three.

861
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: The Cardinals though one and oh in the division. That's

862
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: why this game coming up on Sunday, it can be

863
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: so huge. You moved to two and oh in the division.

864
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: You put that first red mark in the lost column

865
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks, and all of a sudden, now you

866
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: start looking ahead and figuring out, hey, if you want

867
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: to be a playoff team or be considered, you know,

868
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: to win the NFC West, you need to be able

869
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: to win these division concepts, especially the ones at home. Yeah,

870
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: that's why you know I'm still I need to move on.

871
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: But that's why I'm still disappointed in the Lions and

872
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: Panthers loss, because those are conference games, and again AFC

873
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: counts it just as much as the NFC. But we

874
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: know when it comes to tiebreakers that head to head

875
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: you want to have an advantage. And I do think

876
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals will have more wins than the Panthers and

877
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: Lions when it's all said and done. All right, I'm

878
00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: jay I expect that fine money. First thing to our morning.

879
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: We don't accept checks here on Cardinals Cover two, cold Heart.

880
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: We want cold hard cash here. Okay, Well, they're running

881
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: out of coin, so I'll give you cash. Lesson learned folks,

882
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: always silence your cell phones, and of course, as we

883
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 1: discussed earlier, always listen to your mom. Yeah, we definitely,

884
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: And when she calls you by your first and middle name,

885
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: you know she means business. Yeah. I mean, I didn't

886
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: want to throw this person under the bus, but they

887
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: were trying to set up an interview down the road.

888
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: And you know, I guess they don't realize that we're

889
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: taping our show. So I'm gonna let them know that

890
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: they interrupted our show, but we're gonna keep it in

891
