Yeah, 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: impressive to say the least. A lot to be said 4 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: about this one. It's yet another victory Monday.

Going for Hopkins one hand and 11 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: catch in a touchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's Craig Griolu and 12 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki. Without question, A statement was made and statements 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: is in all caps bold underlined you name an MG. 14 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: A statement to the fan base, a statement to the 15 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: rest of the NFC West, a statement to the entire 16 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: National Football League. Yes, the twenty twenty one Arizona Cardinals 17 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: are for real. I'll say this, Craig. I thought it 18 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: would be a great litmus test, and you know, you 19 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: know how I've been bullish about this offense, and you 20 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: know clearly you're not going to play a perfect game. 21 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: But the way Kyler Murray looked in training camp and 22 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: the people are gonna go, well it was training camp. 23 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: Well you're seeing the upside between him and Cliff Kingsbury 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: and what this offense can look like. And I think 25 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: it's very sustainable. You know, there's gonna be a week 26 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: where maybe they're gonna try to run a mush defense, 27 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: but I think, you know, based on what the Cardinals 28 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: offense has done, it's going to keep some defensive coordinators 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: up at night because you gotta pick your poison. They 30 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: have weapons, and you got to give the players a 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: lot of credit that they were focused, they knew what 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: was at stake, and the fact that they lined up 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: and ran the football for over two hundred yards and 34 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: usually the Rams have been the more physics team and 35 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: they were not on Sunday. So I give it the 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals a lot of credit. They knew what was at stake. 37 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: It was a great litmus test for me to see 38 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: where they stood around the National Football League. It's funny 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned sustainable, because that's going to be the one 40 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: thing that if you are not a fan of Kingsbury, 41 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: not a fan of Kyler Murray, not a fan of 42 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. That bird gang is what you're going to hear. 43 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: That is the word sustainable. I'll say this though, before 44 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: we get into what we saw on Sunday thirty seven, 45 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: twenty the final scores, the Cardinals beat the Rams. Sustainable. 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: If Kyler Murray gets hurt, no, it's not sustainable. Okay, 47 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady gets hurt. No, it's not sustainable. In Tampa Bay, 48 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gets hurt, No, it's not sustainable. In Green Bay. 49 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: Any single quarterback who gets hurt, it's not sustainable. So 50 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: that's an argument that I hope gets pushed aside, gets 51 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: ignored because I'll get upset. And I'm upset right now 52 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: because I've already heard it that it's not sustainable from 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: the national media. National media already low hanging fruit and 54 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: enjoy it. Four weeks, small sample size, but enjoy it. 55 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: This is fun, especially if you're a Cardinals fan. You 56 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: wake up this morning here on Monday, you are the 57 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: only undefeated team in the NFC. You are in first 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: place in the NFC West. What's not to like? Again, 59 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna break the game down because obviously that's the 60 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: most recent thing to happen. But you know, even though 61 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, people will mention that Cliff had a losing record, 62 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: they ran the ball for average one hundred and forty yards. 63 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: It's not like they were throwing the ball sixty seventy times. 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: That's how mummy, that's you're talking about a Texas Tech, 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: Texas Tech. I'm just saying, though, there's this notion, and 66 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: when you hear something over and over it becomes perception. 67 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: Well that's the air right, It's not sustainable. It won't 68 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: last a whole year. Hey, listen, Kyler Murray. He was 69 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: sacked three times yesterday, but he's not running as much. 70 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: He's sitting in the pocket going through his progression. And 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean, there's gonna be a game where 72 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: maybe they don't score thirty points, but you know, going 73 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: in that other team has to figure out can we 74 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: stop them, can we put pressure on them, and can 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: we score thirty points? Otherwise it's gonna be a long day. 76 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds post game, who by the way, had an 77 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: ice pack on his right shoulder. He said he was fine, 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: but post game brought up air raid and we need 79 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: to just and I'm paraphrasing here, we need to just 80 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: put that away because that is not what this offense is. 81 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: They are running the football, they are throwing the football, 82 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: and once again some creativity. We're seeing two backs, Rondel 83 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: Moore in the backfield, a tight end screen, a lot 84 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: of different weapons for this offense. And I understand that, 85 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: and I understand what Kingsbury said afterwards, quote, we wanted 86 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: to get a week better. He was not going to 87 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: get into the eight game losing streak to Sean McVeigh. 88 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: He was not going to get into the at side 89 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: of the storyline, right fully so. But I hope privately 90 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: Kingsbury Kyle the Murray for as much heat evs they 91 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: have both received since they arrived in twenty nineteen, I 92 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: hope privately. We're never gonna know publicly, but I hope 93 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: privately both of them took a step back and enjoyed 94 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: the moment walking off the field at SOFI Stadium with 95 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: the win for the first time for them. Six straight 96 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: losses to the Los Angelescuse me, four straight losses to 97 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams, And now that is in the past. 98 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: We no longer have to talk about that eight game 99 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: losing streak, that is gone. It's the present, it's the future. 100 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: And that was the approach I actually took last week. 101 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: And again it was Tom Brady. I just listened to 102 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: him and how much wisdom he was talking about going 103 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: back to Foxborough, and I just said, you know, I'm 104 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: tired of talking about the hammer and the nail. So 105 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: I took a different approach to where in one of 106 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: my one keys, if the Cardinals can score thirty or 107 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: more points, they're gonna win this football game. And clearly 108 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: they did that, but listen, at the end of the day, 109 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: they're still running eleven and twelve personnel. Yeah, I think 110 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: if you look at the Bills, maybe the Chiefs now 111 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: they're running some ten personnel, but the Cardinals are still 112 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 1: running a lot eleven personnel, three wide, one tight, one back, 113 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: and they're also running twelve personnel where you get two 114 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: tight ends on there. They're running two running backs along 115 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: with Rondel Moore and Kyler Murray. So again, you got 116 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: to pick your poison when you want to shut somebody down. 117 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: We go into every single game, Okay, if you can 118 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: contain this guy, well, they have weapons, and that's the 119 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: reason why. I think his completion percentage is higher, his 120 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: average per per attempt is higher, and he's comfortable. I mean, 121 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: he's very confident. I mean, like I said, I was 122 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: bullish to wait. I saw a training camp and I 123 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, I know people were disappointed about the preseason, 124 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, and he played 125 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: like an MVP early in the season. Now they got 126 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: to keep him healthy, as you pointed out, because it's 127 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: not sustainable. Nothing against Colt McCoy. You still have to 128 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: run the offense. But in the NFL, Craig, you gotta 129 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: get lucky sometimes, and the football gods have been on 130 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: the Cardinals side, we've been on the other side, made 131 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: many times, and you gotta get you gotta stay healthy, 132 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: and that's part of, you know, the process of going 133 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: through an entire season. Plus this year, seventeen games four 134 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: oh for the first time since twenty twelve, opening a 135 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: season with three straight road wins for the first time 136 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine. Again, the final from Sofi 137 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: Stadium thirty seven to twenty. Cardinals beat the Rams, beat 138 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: them handily. That final score not indicative of just how 139 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: much dominance the Cardinals displayed on offense. And defense. So 140 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: where do we want to go here? Where do we 141 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: want to begin on this edition of Cardinals Covered two 142 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: presented by Hyunday, probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Is 143 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: it the offense or is it the defense? Well, let's 144 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: start with the offense from a standpoint of you know, 145 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: they are on the I think they were on their 146 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: one yard line. Was it the one right one yard 147 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: talking about the twelve play ninety four yard drive in 148 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Yes, they started at the one one, 149 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: That's what I thought. They ran every single down and 150 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: that to me was we're gonna obviously, if you got 151 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: a lead, we're gonna protect it. Very similar to what 152 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: they did um maybe in the in the Titans game 153 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter when Connor had the ball like 154 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: thirteen times. So I just thought that was impressive. You know, 155 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: Max Garcia, Josh Jones didn't have a great day. Obviously, 156 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: they're trying to get back Kelvin Beacham, but Max Garcia 157 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: did a great job. Rodney Hudson, Justin Pugh playing with 158 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: a back injury. DJ Humphries, So I just think, you know, 159 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: when the Cardinals won, to line up and we always 160 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: talk about winning the game and the trenches and being 161 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: physical at the point of attack. I felt like they 162 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: accomplished that yesterday against a really good front seven RAMS team. 163 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: Two hundred and sixteen rushing yards for the Cardinals. That 164 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: averages to five point four yards per carry. That's outstanding. 165 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: And on that drive Chase Edmonds, in addition to that 166 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: fifty four yard run a career long for him, he 167 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: rushed the ball six times for eighty three yards on 168 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: that drive alone. That took just over eight and a 169 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: half minutes, or almost eight and a half minutes off 170 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: the clock. We talked about it week one, you brought 171 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: it up in Tennessee. You get a lead, you use 172 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: the pass to get a lead, double digits, and then 173 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: you run out the clock. Week four, you use the 174 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: pass to get a lead, a double digit lead, then 175 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: you run out the clock. It's a recipe that every 176 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: team hopes to have and at the end of the 177 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: day you're balanced. But Cardinals rushed the ball forty times 178 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: against a very good Rams defense, not as good as 179 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: a year ago, but they I think we'll be there 180 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: at some point this season. So yeah, able to run 181 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: the football and run it very very effectively, and no turnovers. Yes, 182 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: I mean because again that's you know, if you're going 183 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: to beat the Rams, you know, parried to the last 184 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: eight times. I mean, you have to, you know, steal 185 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: a possession, you have to win the turnover battle. Well, 186 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: they didn't turn the ball over and they went eight 187 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: for thirteen on third down. That's sixty two percent. Now 188 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: you know how I feel about time of possession, and 189 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: it can be lists misleading. It's what you do when 190 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: you get the ball, and the Cardinals are taking advantage 191 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: of that. But Craig, if you go back to the 192 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: first the first half and time of possession, I mean 193 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: after the first quarter, the Cardinals held the ball thirty minutes, 194 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: ten minutes, nine in change, nine in change. The second, third, 195 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: and fourth quarter, they ran seventy five offensive plays for 196 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: the entire game and ball control. Make sure you are 197 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: effective in the ground game, move the sticks. In addition 198 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: to that, eight of thirteen on third down, four of 199 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: six on third and five or less. And those were 200 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: numbers that we did not see in weeks two and three. 201 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: You keep the offense on the field. That means Matthew 202 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: Stafford is on the sideline watching Kyle Murray. Yeah, Cardinals 203 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: had the ball for five minutes and twenty five seconds 204 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: in the first quarter. Rams had it for nine thirty five. 205 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: Next quarter Cardinals ten, ten, next quarter to nine fifty four, 206 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: next quarter forty one. They held the ball for thirty 207 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: five minutes. And there's a little stat out there, and 208 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: I think I heard it from Sean McVeigh, as long 209 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: as you how much time you possessed the ball, you 210 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: should get a minute for every time you possessed the ball. Well, 211 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals scored thirty seven and they held the ball for 212 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: thirty five. So that's right on Q what the Rams 213 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: like to do. I'm sure that's pretty prevalent or prevalent 214 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: around the league. But I knew. I never knew that. 215 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, wow, that's if you hold the ball for 216 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: twenty seven minutes. Is that only twenty seven points? But 217 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: here they held it for thirty five and they scored 218 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: thirty seven, and they could have scored a heck of 219 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: a lot more. I'll get into that because that was 220 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: part of the narrative and discussion post game, at least 221 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: from Kingsbury, Murray and Chase Edmonds. But this is what 222 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals accomplished. There's gonna be a lot of notes, 223 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: because all we heard going into the game against the 224 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: Rams was how good that defense was. Well, they had 225 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: not allowed any first quarter points through three games. The 226 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: Cardinals scored seven points in the first quarter. They had 227 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: only allowed twenty first half points all season. Cardinals had 228 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: twenty four points in the first half yesterday. It was 229 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: the first time they had a two score deficit this season. 230 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: That was the first time. And when you look at it, 231 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, we talked about it, you know, 232 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: put pressure on Matthew Stafford, but I just I just 233 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: like the way this offense is humming and they're not 234 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: relying on one guy. You look at some of these numbers, 235 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: seven different pass catchers for the second straight week. Kyler 236 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: Murray spreading the ball around as we discussed going into 237 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: the contest. But the balance as far as targets and 238 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: receiving yards. No one had more than seven targets. That 239 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: was DeAndre Hopkins and the leading receivers aj Green and 240 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: Hopkins each had sixty seven receiving yards. Max Williams was 241 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: sixty six. That is balanced that any head coach would love. 242 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: Now individually, maybe some guys would like to see some 243 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: more numbers behind their name. But at the end of 244 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: the day, you're winning ball games and everyone has a 245 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: hand in it. That's got to count for something. Yeah, 246 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: and you look at Christian Kirk. He had one catch 247 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: for five yards and he played. He played the majority, obviously. 248 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Chase Evans provided, you know something in the passing game 249 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: target five times four for nineteen yards. He had a 250 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: nine yard run. You look at Chase Evans twelve carries 251 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,599 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards. You know, he had the 252 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: fifty four yard run. And that's where I like about 253 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: Chase and Connor. We're starting to see him more in 254 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: the passing game. He did have a couple of receptions 255 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: for sixteen yards. One was a nine yard catch. I 256 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: think we go in the last game and he made 257 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: a really good catch from Kyler. It's kind of a 258 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: you know, he had to reach for it. So yeah, 259 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I just like the way Chase is run. 260 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: You know, I always say he looks fast. I think 261 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: he just looks quicker to me. He hits the hole. 262 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: He's in great shape. You could see he spent a 263 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: ton of time in the officers working on his lower body. 264 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a thick little guy, and I just 265 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: like the one two punch they got there. Kyler very pedestrian, 266 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: running six for thirty nine yards. He had an eighteen 267 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: yard run. What was a third and seventeen third and 268 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: he converted. There were two long conversions in the game. 269 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: There was the third and sixteen in which Kyler scampered 270 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: for eighteen. There was the third and fourteen in which 271 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: he threw underneath the rondel Moore and he took it 272 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: the rest of the way and again his sixteen yards, 273 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: using his feet to buy time, extra protection for him 274 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: within the pocket to elude the rush, and then looking 275 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: for his playmakers. He's running. He was the leading rusher 276 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: at halftime, in the second half. He didn't need to 277 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: run the football. But I think and Edmunds brought this 278 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: up post game to the media in Los Angeles. He 279 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: thought that they only had one design run for Kyle 280 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: the Murray and so when plays are breaking down, yeah, 281 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: that's the luxury of having a Kyle the Murray. But 282 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: he's not looking to run first. And how many times 283 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: a year ago was he looking to run first because 284 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: that was the only option that was going to gain 285 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: any positive yards within the offense. That's something that he 286 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: did not want to have happened here again in twenty 287 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: twenty one, and we talked about it. We did not 288 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: want it to happen again, and it's not. Yeah, the 289 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: way I look at that is is the fact that 290 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, last year, I think when they were five 291 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: and two or six and three, you know, he was 292 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: on pace for four thousand yards when it was at 293 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: close to a thousand rushing yards correct, And you know, 294 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: and we know the last couple of seasons late in 295 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: the year, you know, whether it's a hamstring or shoulder, 296 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: he hasn't been a hundred percent, but I think he's 297 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: doing a much better job scanning the field, going through 298 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: her progressions, and you know he's he can make the 299 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: checkdown now before it was hop and then improvising get 300 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: out of the pocket and try to make a play. 301 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: He's definitely made strides. And again, you got to give 302 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: a lot of credits to the offensive coaching staff. I 303 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: don't know if we talk about you know, Sean Jefferson 304 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: and Steve Hyden and James Saxon, we always talk about 305 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: Coogs and Cam Turner. I mean, he's those guys are 306 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: on the same page. He's the one that wears the 307 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: Green had on game day and they're really close. And 308 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: so I just like the offensive staff where each unit 309 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: each week is stepping up. It's not just one. It's 310 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: not like it's just two receivers, the tight ends when 311 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: given the opportunity. Look at Max Williams again yesterday, I 312 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: mean five catches for sixty six yards and he took 313 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: a big shot too. And we know that there's a 314 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: chemistry down the seaman. Obviously you're gonna have to put 315 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: your body on the line, but Kyler trusts Max Williams 316 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: in this offense. Well, look at the numbers now through 317 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: four games for Kyler Murray. He is number one in 318 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: the league in completion percentage at just over seventy five percent. 319 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: He is number two in passing yards, yards per attempts, 320 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: and total touchdowns with twelve. He is a top five 321 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: quarter back as far as numbers. But he's backing it 322 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: up with wins going into this week now four and 323 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: oh and we're gonna hear a lot more about Kyle 324 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: Murray and it is all deserved and he has earned 325 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: to be a part of this conversation. I know you 326 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: joked after week one about you know, the MVP odds. Well, 327 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: that's gonna come again again this week because we're now 328 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: a quarter of the way into the season. Four games 329 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: in a seventeen game regular season schedule. It's a little 330 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: bit less, but we're gonna still kind of break it 331 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: down into quarters. Name me another quarterback, Okay, Dak Prescott. 332 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: I know the Dallas Cowboys. They're gonna get a lot 333 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: of love because the Dallas Cowboys. But don't discount what 334 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: the Arios and the Cardinals have done on an offensive end. Yes, 335 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: it's all because of Kyle the Murray, but it's not 336 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: because of Kyle the Murray alone, Craig. They're they're averaging 337 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: thirty one rushing attempts a game. All right. I'm a 338 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: big fan of running the ball thirty times. Now, the 339 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: analytics will tell you, well, you don't need it to 340 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: run it that much, you know, I understand what they're saying. Yeah, 341 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: you can't run the ball fifty times a game and win. 342 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: I get that. But that's a nice little number right there, 343 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: thirty one. And you start looking at their balance on 344 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: offense in the passing and rushing game, it's not overwhelming. 345 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you look at Kyler Murray when 346 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: it comes to him, you know, his completion percentage. We 347 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: talked about how it's you know, it's at the all 348 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: time high, and what he's done as a player. But 349 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: when I see the season stats, when it comes to 350 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, there, okay that Cardinals have rushed one hundred 351 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: and twenty four times. Okay, forty six four point four, 352 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: which is an improvement from a week ago. Seven rushing touchdowns. 353 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's completing one hundred and two receptions, so one 354 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty four running in one hundred and two receptions. I mean, 355 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: you're never gonna be fifty fifty, but who would have 356 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: thought that? The way they're throwing the football around, it's 357 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: balance and that's darn near fifty fifty. And I'm impressed 358 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: because it's year three. It's the evolution of Kingsbury as 359 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: a head coach slash play caller, Kyle the Murray as 360 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: a quarterback, understanding what he can and cannot do in 361 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Still going to take his chances, 362 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: and he's earned that right. But this offense year three, 363 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: we anticipated a big jump to year two. We got it. 364 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: They just couldn't quite get over the hump as far 365 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: as get into the postseason, but now four no and 366 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: two of those wins impressive victories against two teams the 367 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: Titans and Rams that everyone going into this year hag 368 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: pegged not just for postseason, but perhaps Super Bowl contenders 369 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: as well, and the Cardinals just basically dismissed them, pushed 370 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: them off the field literally, as far as the offensive 371 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: line and defensive line. Yeah, I mean he's one or 372 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: two for one thirty four twelve hundred and seventy three yards, 373 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: seventy six percent. We talked about his yards per attempt 374 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: nine to five, that's the highest it's been in his career. 375 00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: Nine touchdowns, foreign receptions, no turnovers on Sunday and after games. 376 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: He's only been sacked eight times. I mean, yes, I 377 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: mean they're gonna be games, you know. Last week I 378 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: think it was actually he was sacked three times, correct, 379 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: although one of those he ran out about. Okay, And 380 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: one of the things, since we're talking about the Cardinals 381 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: offense before we get into the defense, because they definitely 382 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: are worthy talking about, is Aaron Donald. We knew about Ramsey, 383 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: and we did mention Leonard Floyd a few different times 384 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: because I don't think he gets I think he gets 385 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: lost in the equation because you got Ramsey and then 386 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: you know Taylor Rap has been a really good player 387 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. He's a tackling machine back there. But 388 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and I think we're all looking for the 389 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson Aaron Donald. But Aaron Donald is lining up 390 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: on the outside. And give Hump a lot of credit. 391 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: And Josh Jones he didn't grade out as well as 392 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: he did the week before, but the Cardinals did get 393 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: him some help over there at some point to kind 394 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: of slow things down. But Aaron Donald, he didn't make 395 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: that impact play you know earlier. I think going into 396 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter he had two tackles unassistant and then 397 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: he had four, you pointed out in a postgame show. 398 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: So I mean you're going to the game, you're thinking, Arry, 399 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: He's gonna get a couple of tackle for losses, may 400 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: get a couple of quarterback hits, but they basically contained him. 401 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: He was not the factor that all week we spent 402 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: about Aaron Donald and Giff Carter to the offensive line. 403 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: That was the scary parts of this matchup was Aaron 404 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: Donald inside with what you don't know what's going to 405 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: happen at left guard and right guard because Justin Pugh 406 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: and Justin Murray both deal with back injuries. And you 407 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: kick out Josh Jones the right tackle because Kelvin Beecham's 408 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: not available. And it all centered around literally the center, 409 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson, who once again got praised post game by 410 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: the head coach, by the quarterback, and even Chase Edmonds 411 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: as well. You know, you want to talk about MVPs 412 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: through four games, He's not going to show up on 413 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: the stat sheet. But I'll raise my hand and say, 414 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: Rodney Hudson the MVP of the Arizona Cardinals offensively through 415 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: four games without a single stat whatsoever. Yeah, I don't 416 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: disagree with you, but I would give it to Sean Coogler. 417 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: They can split it or splitting hairs here. Yeah, I listen, 418 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: we know when they made that trade and the fact 419 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: that he was available. I mean, it's just it's just 420 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: it's the little things that you hear about. I mean, 421 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: we knew that he's going to help Kyler Worth the calls. 422 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: That's huge. Don't don't just undermine that that is huge. 423 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: When he goes to the line, he has an idea 424 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: and then the fact is when they go to the sidelines. 425 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: He's kind of the voice of reason. So no, I mean, 426 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: they hit a home run there, and again it's about 427 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: staying healthy. But to me, I can see this offense 428 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: getting better, maybe more, you know. I mean, I guess 429 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how they can get better from a 430 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: point standpoint, but I would think, you know, there's some 431 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: things they need to clean up, some penalty still and 432 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: maybe I'm nitpicking, but I'm really excited about this offense 433 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: and defensively, you know, I think it was Kyle Vannibosch. 434 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: We were talking during the game and he said, Carlinos 435 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: have become more of a ben don't break defense. They're 436 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: gonna show up, They're gonna force some turnovers. They made 437 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: up some plays, but at the end of the day, 438 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: you know they're going to bring their hard hat. And 439 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: I think there was a good analogy. Let me go 440 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: back to what you just said about the offense, like 441 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: where can they get better? They scored thirty seven points 442 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: once again. They hit the thirty point mark four hundred 443 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: yard offense mark for the fourth straight game, first time 444 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: any Cardinals team has done that in franchise history. As 445 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: we continue talking about a very impressive thirty seven to 446 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: twenty win by the Arizona Cardinals against the Los Angeles Rams. 447 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: It is Cardinals Covered two, presented by Hunday proud partner 448 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals. I have to laugh because, yeah, 449 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: you hit that thirty seven points and you're like, okay, 450 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: well can they get better? Because Kingsbury brought it up. 451 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: Kyle the Murray brought it up very stone faced when 452 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: asked about the offense. Well, we can get better. Just 453 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't all greats. You know, there were some issues. 454 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: We still scored no stalled drives, but yes, they made 455 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: it harder on themselves with penalties, holding calls, false starts, 456 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: and then I do think there will be two situations 457 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: in which the entire offensive staff, and I think Kyle 458 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: the Murray knows as well, there were two trips inside 459 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: the red zone that they kicked field goals. And it 460 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: wasn't just trips inside the red zone. It was first 461 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: end goal to go that you have to punch it 462 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: in one time in the second quarter, first and goal 463 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: at the five field goal that was right before the 464 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: end of the first tap where you could really put 465 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: the nail in the coffin so to speak against the Rams. 466 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: And then in the fourth quarter, on that twelve play 467 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: ninety four yard scoring drive they had at first and 468 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: goal at the six, had to settle for a field goal. 469 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: Punch it in there just a little bit more emphatic 470 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: of a statement, if you will. And I know it, 471 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: we're splitting hairs here, but that forty point mark. Have 472 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: yet to see it with a Cliff Kingsbury offense. So 473 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: those two situations goal to go, you can't settle for 474 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: field goals. And I think that is where this team 475 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: will look back and say, okay, where can we get 476 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: better offensively? And yes, they did have a three and outs, 477 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: which you never liked to see, but they had two 478 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 1: of them, and that's something that Kingsbury and kind American 479 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: look and say, we can't go three and out. We 480 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: have to help our defense, we have to stay on 481 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: the field. So, yes, I'm splitting hairs here, but those 482 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: those are some situations that when you look back at 483 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: things that you can correct. I just gave you two. 484 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess how they can get better is 485 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: scoring forty points under Kingsbury because they've been close. The 486 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: preyer didn't miss the field goal, they would have had 487 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: forty points prior, but he's been money. The way I 488 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: look at it is they only pointed twice. They went 489 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: on a ten, twelve, seventeen play drive. They had a 490 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: nine in there. They had four drives. I want to 491 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: say double digits. Maybe it was three and then in 492 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: the nine. But the fact is that they and they're 493 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: chewing up the clock and they're moving the sticks, and 494 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: they converted on third down, So yeah, you can. I 495 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: mean again, they had seventy five offensive plays. You normally don't. 496 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: You usually get sixty five sixty eight, and it depends 497 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: on how much you have the ball. But when they 498 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: possessed the ball for you know, thirty four thirty five minutes, 499 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you're you have to get a ton of 500 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: plays in there, and you have to go on long drives, 501 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: and they did it. So that again the only thing 502 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: we're missing is scoring forty points. But I'll if they 503 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: scored twenty seven and they win, I won't let bad 504 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: and eye. Cardinals scored on seven of their eight possessions 505 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: following a three and out on their opening drive. And 506 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: yet we're gonna hear Kingsbury and Kyle the Murray and 507 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: then entire offense all week long. We can get better, 508 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: and yes they can, because everyone strives for perfection. Can 509 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: you imagine if somebody asked Cliffs today, you know, how 510 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: can this offense get better? He's gonna go, well, I 511 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: watched the film this morning, and we left about fifteen 512 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: points on the board. We could do a better job, 513 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: and he could probably run off about five or six 514 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: different things where the naked eye or even guys like 515 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: us that cover the team. I mean, once he says it, you, oh, okay, 516 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: I can go back to that plane look at it. 517 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: But there's probably five or the six things that Jeff 518 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: Rogers says we need to work on Vans Joseph. I mean, 519 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: he's going to talk about the run defense, the run, 520 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: the run gaps, and once again there were some free 521 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: runs there for Henderson, and you know again gap discipline, 522 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: gap control, gap integrity. We get into all that, and 523 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: but I do think when the Cardinals needed to make plays, 524 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: they were obviously, you know, beneficial from them playing physically 525 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: added all up Cardinals with thirty seven points, the Rams 526 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: just twenty. Although they'll put a little asterisk on that 527 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: twenty because really that defense only allowed one touchdown the 528 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: entire ball game that end of the game scored. I mean, 529 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: it counts, but that's just I mean, all you have 530 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: to do is look at how Robert Woods reacted to 531 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: scoring that touchdown. He got the ball and literally just 532 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: tossed it aside, like I can't believe that this is 533 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: what's happening to us here on this Sunday in week 534 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,360 Speaker 1: four hours. So let's let's switchback. Let's let's talk about 535 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: advance Joseph, because for me, that was more impressive than 536 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: what the offense did. And were you know, twenty five 537 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: minutes into this edition of Cardinals Covered two presented by 538 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: Hunday probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and I continue 539 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: a week in and week out more and more impressed 540 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: by coach Joseph because it's not the halftime adjustments, it's 541 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: the endgame adjustments. If you wait until halftime, you've waited 542 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: too long. But let's talk about first the run defense, 543 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: because in that opening quarter sixty eight rushing yards, it 544 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: did not look good. But the rest of the game 545 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: just fifty three rushing yards quarters two, three, and four, 546 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: and I'm okay. Much like last week against Jacksonville, one 547 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: drive that rush defense had leakage. Other than that, it 548 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: was very solid. Now at the end of the day, 549 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: you look at what the Rams did, one hundred and 550 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: twenty one yards on the ground five point three yards 551 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: per carry. That is not great. Yet at the end 552 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: of the day it's points and that defense only allowed 553 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: twenty although again littlelastric for me and no rushing touchdowns. 554 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean, usually when they get down there, they're very efficient, 555 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: whether it's throwing or running. But in this case, you know, 556 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: Henderson fourteen carries eighty nine yards average about six point four. 557 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: He had a fifteen yard long run. Yeah, but if 558 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: you want to even go a step further, how much 559 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 1: All week we talked about Cooper Cup. He was targeted 560 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: thirteen times, five catches, sixty four yards. Some came in 561 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: the second half. They held him out of the end zone. 562 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: I thought that hit by Jalen Thompson when he hit 563 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: him now the sidelines, I mean that that was a 564 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: legal hit and he's he was laying the lumber there 565 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: and he's he's a thumber out there. Then you look 566 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: at Robert Woods, you know, I don't you know, I'm 567 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: sure he's not happy with his touches, But you know, 568 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: through winning. He had four catches forty eight yards Higbee 569 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: four for thirty six to Sean Jackson had one catch 570 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: for six yards, and we talked about, you know, not 571 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: letting the wide receivers get behind the defense, and so 572 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: I think they did a good job with that. Now, 573 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: Sean Jefferson's son, Vance Jefferson, he had six catches for 574 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: ninety dours and a touchdown. So yeah, that must have 575 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,479 Speaker 1: been a nice conversation after the game where hey, you 576 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: played well and we beat you exactly a win win 577 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: for coach Jefferson on Sunday because he got the w 578 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: which was most important. Yet at the same time his 579 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: son got into the end zone. So all in good, 580 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: all is good for the Jefferson family. But again, as 581 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: much as the conversation heading into this contest was about 582 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford two times in three games, NFC Offensive Player 583 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: of the Wage, Cooper Cup, NFC Offensive Player of the Month, 584 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: and the number of different weapons Matthew Stafford had, and 585 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: how effective he is and how efficient he is within 586 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: this offense, and Vance Joseph probably hurt all that. And 587 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean he doesn't listen to any of us or 588 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: read anything, but understood what was in front of them 589 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: and had a perfect game plan. And because the Rams, 590 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: they didn't do anything. I mean, outside of that first quarter, 591 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: they did not do anything. It was ten seven with 592 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: fifty two seconds to go after Stafford hooked up with 593 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: Vans or Van Jefferson, and that was the only time 594 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: well that was the last time the Rams had to 595 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: leave in the ball game and the last time the 596 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: Rams were able to move the football at all. You know, 597 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know last week maybe on one 598 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: zero Thursday. Okay, Vance has been here long enough, he 599 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: knows mcvay's tendencies are in traits and you know how 600 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: we tried to get you in space and the use 601 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: the entire field. I'm like, they're gonna have to try 602 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,479 Speaker 1: something different this week, and they did. They went more 603 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: nickel and dime than they had in the past. There 604 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: were times we'd see two linemen in the game. There 605 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: were sometimes we saw three. And you can't say enough 606 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: about how Jordan Hicks is playing, because you know, he's 607 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: the captain in the middle of the defense. And Thompson 608 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: had ten tackles, Marco Wilson eight, Hicks had eight, Buddha 609 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: Baker had eight, Isaiah Simmons seven, Alford got a lot 610 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: of playing time and I like his physicality. And then 611 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: Byron Murphy. I mean, the plan was to put Murphy 612 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: on Cooper Cup in the slot, and we know he 613 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: can play inside or outside. But when you get a 614 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: guy like Antonio Hamilton and the Cardinals feel good about 615 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: those four corners. And I think there was a lot 616 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: of concern after Melcolm Butler went a wall, but I 617 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: think they're doing a good job. And now it's a 618 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: matter of the front seven coming together. But to me, 619 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks, he's playing a really high level and he's 620 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: keeping Zaven Collins off the field. Four snaps for Zaven Collins, 621 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 1: four defensive snaps for Zaven Collins right now, He's not needed. 622 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: It's a storyline if this team was not four oh, 623 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: but for right now, it is a good problem to have, 624 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: much like Kyle Murray in the number of different offensive 625 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,959 Speaker 1: weapons that he has the throw too. But I do 626 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: like what Jordan Hicks is doing. I like with Isaiah 627 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: Simmons is doing despite that roughing the pastor penalty, that's 628 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: one of those you know it's a foul. Yet I 629 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: can't fall to Isaiah Simmons because you're there in the middle, 630 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of bodies around you. You're getting a 631 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: lot of push, and his hand did hit the helmet 632 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: of Stafford, which negated Marco Wilson's interception. It's unfortunate, but 633 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: plays like that happen. It is a foul bird game 634 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: because if Kyle Murray's going to get a roughing the 635 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: passer penalty on him when he was sacked late in 636 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: that contest by Leonard Floyd, that was picked up because 637 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: roughing the past penalty when Floyd got his hand in 638 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: the face mask. That's just the way this game is called. 639 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: It's revolves around the quarterback and protecting the quarterbacks. So 640 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: as we say, it's much easier to say WHOA than 641 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: sick him. And I like the aggressiveness of an Isaiah Simmons. 642 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that can do a lot 643 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: of different things. He can cover tight ends. We know 644 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: he can play in the slot. He can rush the passer. 645 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: He's he's good in coverage. You know he can sit 646 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: there and make the tackle before they get to the 647 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: second layer. Yeah, it's just you know, when when I 648 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: when I look at this defense and I thought J J. Watt. 649 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: I thought he won some one on one battles yesterday 650 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: and that's good to see. I mean, you know, he 651 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: hasn't he hasn't played against the Rams a ton, but 652 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: he was looking for his first sack and he's only 653 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: you know, he's going to play the Texans this year 654 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers next week, and he doesn't 655 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: have sacks against them. He won't get one this year 656 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: against the Patriots. But you know, it's just I guess 657 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: what I was thinking here is when you can put 658 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback, and we talked about taking him 659 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: off his spot and everything else. And listen, Chandler Jones. 660 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, he didn't really failed the stat sheet, 661 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: but the fact that when he breaks the huddle, you 662 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: gotta know where he's at. And so imagine if Chandler 663 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: Jones and J. J. Watton felt the stat sheet. But 664 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Kennard done a really good job. 665 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: He didn't play a ton, but he sets the edge 666 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: and then you know, we got a chance to see 667 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 1: Taylor Tanner, Vallejo and Zeke Turner only a couple of 668 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: snaps late in the game, but you know, I like 669 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: where they are and you know, the thing about Advance is, 670 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, I like that he came up with a 671 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: different game plan because I think they were just anticipating're 672 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: going to play a three four and the Cardinals normally 673 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: like to play man and man press. But sometimes you 674 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: have to play his own because now you're forcing Stafford 675 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: to make tight throws. But we know he can do it. 676 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: But he didn't miss some guys on the sideline yesterday. 677 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: He was not as effective or efficient. Didn't seem like 678 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: he was on the same page with his recei as 679 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: he was to the first three games. Now was how 680 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: much of that was what he was seeing defensively and 681 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: then trying to react with what Vans Joseph was putting 682 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: out there. Now, that might have been a factor in 683 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: it as well. But you know, we look at the 684 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: number of sacks zero Chandler Jones hasn't avenue since week one. 685 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: Those you know, I have a hard time saying it's 686 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: not a big deal because you're winning, yet you are 687 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: putting pressure on the quarterback. And I do think quarterbacks 688 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: now after week one, they're getting the ball out quicker 689 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: one and a half two seconds and they don't want 690 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones to get into the backfield. They don't want 691 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: JJ Watt to get into the backfield. But you are 692 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: making it uncomfortable for those quarterbacks. They don't have a 693 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: clean pocket. They are getting knocked, hit around, pressured. And 694 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: it's a credit to the linebackers and the secondary that 695 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,720 Speaker 1: they are covering the pass catchers in the open field 696 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: to where it is making it much more difficult for 697 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: balls to be completed. Yeah, listen, they are moving Chandler 698 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: around obviously, you know he's normally lines up on the 699 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: right side, so they are looking for different matchups. And 700 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying he's a decoy because that 701 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: would be you know, disrespect him. But other guys are 702 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: coming in cleaning up. I mean, that's where you see 703 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons and Jordan Hicks and a guy like Jalen 704 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: Thompson who, like I said, I'm I mean this safety, 705 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: these two safeties they can hit. He's becoming like Buddha 706 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: number two. I mean, it's impressive. And now you know, 707 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: you look at the you know, some of the depth 708 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: there with banjo, and you know, I guess when you 709 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 1: look at Deonday Thompson, he's not playing as much. But 710 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 1: but the fact they got Jalen Thompson in a supplemental draft. 711 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: Do you remember the day he arrived in camp. It 712 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: was the first day of training camp, I want to say, 713 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: and it was the first opportunity we had a chance 714 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: to speak with him. He came up to the press 715 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: box something had about maybe a four or five minutes 716 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: quick informal Q and a if you will, and all 717 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: of a sudden was like, all right, here you go, kid, 718 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: welcome to the team. Yeah. And if he would have 719 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,919 Speaker 1: stayed in school, he probably would have been a second 720 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 1: round pick. And then you look at his body now, 721 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: I mean he's he's he's growing up right in front 722 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 1: of our eyes. If you look at his body type 723 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: and the way he hits in the open field. I 724 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: mean that's good because you can have the great pass rushers, 725 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: but if teams are able to rush outside the tackle 726 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: box in your corners aren't tackling, that could be an issue. 727 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: He did have a couple of penalties, a holding call 728 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: and a pass interference call. And you know some of 729 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: these calls, again, the officials look and it always airs 730 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: on the side of the offense. That's just the way 731 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: it is. I just like the way he tattooed Cooper 732 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: Cup on the sidelines and it was a legal hit. 733 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: And again, so that that's tells me that, you know, 734 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: he can kind of zero in and guys and make 735 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: these hits, and he does a really good job in 736 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: the open field. A lot of defenders contributed to what 737 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,720 Speaker 1: the defense did. One touchdown allowed on eight possessions before 738 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: that final score. And even more important than that, we 739 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: talked about the Cardinals and their inability on gold to 740 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: go to score touchdowns. Offensively well defensively, they kept the 741 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: Rams out of the end zone twice on goal to 742 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: go situation. Second quarter, there was a first and goal 743 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: at the ten that kick a field goal, and then 744 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: that first quarter first and goal at the eights and 745 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: they turn it over on downs. Robert Alford had a 746 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: great hit on Matthew Stafford. Did he get in did 747 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: he not? I don't know, but a great hit by 748 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: Robert Alford and then Tanner Vallejo and coverage on Tyler Higbee. 749 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: And if you watch the game or see some of 750 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: the highlights, you see Vance Joseph running down the sidelines, 751 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: because I watched that play a couple of different times 752 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: this morning. Once the ball is snapped, Vallejo makes a 753 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: bee line left, knowing exactly where Higbee's going to go. Now, Unfortunately, 754 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: Vallejo did not get credit for a past breakup, but 755 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: he was in there. He made it difficult. It was 756 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: a low throw, but it was an incomplete pass and 757 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: coach Joseph right there to cheer on his defense. And 758 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: someone that we don't talk a lot about defensively in Vallejo, 759 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: who's more of a special teams player. You know what 760 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: that tells me film session? Something he saw in film session, 761 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: just like in week one when Ryan Tannehill had that 762 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: flea flicker Byron Murphy was out of position. Fast forward 763 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: to the Jacksonville game, he saw the running back was 764 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: going to throw the ball back to the quarterback and 765 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: he ran to get to that spot and here he 766 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: ends up getting a pick six. So yeah, I mean, 767 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: it's um little things. I mean, that's and again we 768 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: know that Valejo and and Zeke Turner and you know 769 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: they're more special teams player. It was you know, it 770 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: was nice. He didn't get a ton of snaps, but 771 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: it was nice when they went with that NASCAR package 772 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: when they go five, it was nice to see Gardeck 773 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: out there. First time we have seen Gardick this season. 774 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: He was activated off injured reserve on Saturday, and then yeah, 775 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: he did get some snaps both on special teams and 776 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,760 Speaker 1: on defense. It wasn't a lot, but enough. Five snaps 777 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 1: on defense, sixteen on special teams, and I do think 778 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: that number five as far as defensive snaps will increase. 779 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: But great job by Devon Kennard as far as what 780 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: he was able to do, Marcus Golden, Chandler Jones. So 781 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: that's just going to add more depth to the defense 782 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: with Guardeck now on the field. Yeah, and you know, 783 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: if if the team's trailing and they need to put 784 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: that NASCAR package in where we're going to bring more 785 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: numbers and you can block, that's he'll get more opportunities. 786 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: But you know, Chandler Jones, he didn't play the entire game. 787 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: Chandler sixty one of the sixty eight snaps, So that's 788 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: another way. And Marcus Golden Canard snap cup wasn't as 789 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: high as I thought. It was just based on watching 790 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: the game. But you'd like to get a little nice 791 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: little rotation. We always talk about the rotation on the 792 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: D line. You gotta keep Chandler and JJ Fresh and 793 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: so far it hasn't been an issue when it comes 794 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: to a fourth quarter. Yeah, JJ Watt forty eight of 795 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 1: the sixty eight snaps. And then you look at some 796 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 1: of the other snap count numbers. With respects to the cornerbacks, 797 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: Robert Alford played the most sixty six of the sixty eight, 798 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: Marco Wilson sixty four of sixty eight. Byron Murphy, amongst 799 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: the top three corners, played the fewest, only forty eight, 800 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: but that's because he was injured in the first quarter 801 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: and television said he had was dealing with a back injury, 802 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: though postgame, Murphy said he got hit in the rib 803 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: and was dealing with the rib issue, bruise, whatever it was, 804 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: but didn't sound like to him it was going to 805 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 1: be a big deal. He actually, in fact, only missed 806 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: I think one possession, came back and then played the 807 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: rest of the game. But that is someone now, all 808 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden in the like a Chandler Jones or 809 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: JJ Watt or a Buddha Baker. You can't afford to 810 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 1: lose a Byron Murphy is playing that well right now. Yeah, 811 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: And they showed it on TV and they had this 812 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: spray and they were spraying the side of his body 813 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 1: where they're going to put them some kind of device 814 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 1: where it won't stick. And so once they started wrapping 815 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: him up there, clearly he was more about the ribs. Yeah, 816 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: so good for Byron Murphy that he is okay. Good 817 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: for Marco Wilson, we think he's okay. He actually twitted 818 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: immediately after the ball game, so he got knocked out 819 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: in the second half. Hopefully he is good to go 820 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: as well. And look the Cardinals at four. No, they 821 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 1: enjoy it, but as they say, you can only enjoy 822 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: it for twenty four hours. You got to turn the page. 823 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: But right now, the only team in the NFC that 824 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: is undefeated, first place in the NFC West, and the 825 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: Raiders play tonight. They're gonna play at SOFI Stadium. Of 826 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: course they're playing in Los Angeles. Chargers. We know they 827 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: got a nice young quarterback. Raiders feel like this is 828 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: their year. Chiefs came back to Earth yesterday, so it 829 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: could be if the Raiders lose tonight. The Cardinals are 830 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: the only unbeaten team not only in the NFC but 831 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:39,919 Speaker 1: the entire National Football League. And no one, no one 832 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: saw that coming. No, no, no, listen, Craig, I you know, 833 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: if you lose that game that are rams, you can say, okay, 834 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: there they got a better quarterback. We know how good 835 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 1: they are defensively, they got some weapons, and then you 836 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: just don't want any any carry over to burn all 837 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you lose to the forty nine ers 838 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: and we'll get into them and the quarterbacks, and then 839 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: you gotta go on the road to play the Browns. 840 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get greedy here and take care of business. 841 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: Another another division game at home, you know, So I 842 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: guess you guess he was on the road just to 843 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: be the first one. But for the most part, this 844 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: team has won three road games, and that is impressive. 845 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: It's hard to win on the on the road in 846 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: the NFL. Cardinals have not again won their first three 847 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: games on the road since two thousand and nine, and 848 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: so three of their four wins have come away from 849 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: State Farm Stadium. It's gonna even itself out eventually, but 850 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: this was a tough early schedule for the Cardinals, and 851 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,280 Speaker 1: so far through four games they've raced that test. Yeah, 852 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: and again that's as from a team standpoint. They want 853 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: to go one and know this week they're not looking 854 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: ahead to the Browns game, or the Texans game, or 855 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: the Packers game, which is going to be on a 856 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,240 Speaker 1: Thursday night football. The last ward belongs to Brentson Buckner, 857 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: defensive line quote defensive line coach on social media. Four 858 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,479 Speaker 1: no means you can't go three and fourteen, nothing more, 859 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: nothing less. Go back to work Monday. Hashtag move on Mondays. 860 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: It's not a victory Monday, it's a move on Monday. 861 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: I like it. Whatever.
