You 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.440 have three double digit SAX seasons. But when it came 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.280 to buy weekend, what did you look forward to the most. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.560 Yes, yes, that's a great question, man, because especially when 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.560 you get a we got a late by week. This week, 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.480 it seemed like a super late by week. So when 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.280 you play all these weeks and you grind it out 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.880 each week, you just want to relax. Me that's one 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.640 thing I wanted to do. I wanted to relax, just 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.320 sit back. Probably still of course, you got to still 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.560 do your job of study football. But at the end 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:51.959 of the day, I just wanted to make sure I 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.960 get to Friday or whatever day we was gonna get 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.000 a break and just relax. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.320 So Junk, you work big on that, Hey let's go 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.080 to Cabo that you weren't big on that, or. 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.119 You know how it is when you're young. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.960 When you're young, you get it to the NFL, you 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.840 get a break, you want to go to Cabown, I 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.880 have a little fun. But as I got older, I 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.760 was more of like a let me chill out, hang 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.079 right with the family. I have my days back in 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.760 my younger days where I would have went to Cawbo. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.679 Well, true or false, the bye week came at a 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:20.559 good time. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.280 Yes, I think true, Paul I really do. I know 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.680 there's a lot of people out there that we'll talk about, Hey, 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.480 they won four games in a row right now. Listen, 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.959 when you're two and four and then you you win 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.440 four games in a row and you get to six 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.160 and four right now? I think at some point in time, 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:42.040 especially when you might be a surprise in the National 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.320 Football League, I think you need to let the dust 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.720 settle a little bit and really understand, Hey, why were 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.640 we two and four? What was the situation that allowed 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.960 us to be two and four on the season, and 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.760 then all of a sudden we started winning games and 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.920 now we're six and four. How did we get to 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.760 six and four? I think as long as you keep 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.680 yourself in check, Pauly, I think it's a good thing 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.640 to allow the dust to settle on ten games that 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.320 you've played and the fact that you're in first place 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.400 in the NFC West, and then you can also look 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.359 and say, hey, listen, we got seven games left. What 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.919 is it going to take from me for me to 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.640 do my job and to help us win games? 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.880 Four straight wins, five out of six. Here's the head coach, 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.960 Jonathan Gannon. Do you think he's pleased with how the 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.840 Cardinals are playing, you bet you. 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:37.520 I think the thing that's consistent with our team is 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.080 how we play. I think you got to control yourself first, 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.039 and I'm pleased with how we're playing right now. I 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.120 talk about that being our motive play. But the effort, 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.479 the motor, the finish, the violence, the hitting. I think 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.760 there's a way to play this game, and that can 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.080 give you a chance to win a bunch of games 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.240 if that part is right and everybody's doing it in 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:00.679 all three phases, are doing. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.960 It, Marcus Golden. When you watch the Cardinals and the 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.760 brand of ball they're putting out there in year two 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.760 under Jonathan Gannon, what jumps out to you the most. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.440 Yes, really exactly what coach was saying, man, just that 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.920 hard nose football, playing together, everybody working hard together and 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.040 getting it done, doing whatever we got to do to 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.400 get a win. And that's what exactly jumps out on 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.359 me on jumps out for me on tape when I 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.000 watched the Cardinals this season, is that they're playing hard 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.279 and they're going to do whatever they got to do 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:26.480 to get out there and try to get the win. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.760 How far does physicality go if you're winning the battle 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.400 of physicality. How often does that mean you're winning a 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:33.480 game in the NFL? 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.520 Hey, that's big time, especially when you and I always 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.960 got to go to James when we talk about physicality 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.120 or the Cardinals. The way he running the ball, the 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.240 way he's even catching the ball out the backfield and 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.880 running through guys, I feel like that sets a tone. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.080 So when you got that type of momentum and plus 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.960 you're winning and making place, that's big time. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.279 And I feel like they got a lot to do 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:51.800 with the team. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.039 You know, one of those Just listening to you talk 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.760 about that, it reminds me of how well they airs are. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.560 The Cardinals ran the ball, And I'm not talking about 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.120 Trey McBride running the ball, even though that's awesome to 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.799 see him doing that. I'm not talking about Kyler Murray 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.479 pulling it down poly and running the ball. I'm talking 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.040 about a football team that snaps the ball to the 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.039 quarterback and the quarterback hands the ball off to a 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.880 running back. What happens more times than not when you 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.240 hand the ball off to a running back. How are 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.160 you guys doing well? You think of the Arizona Cardinals. 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.320 You had James Connor, you had Trey Benson, You had 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.360 Amari de Mercado, and you had DJ Dallas. You had 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.960 those four guys carry the ball twenty eight times in 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.440 this game for one hundred and twenty seven yards, and 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.279 it wasn't like they were ripping off fifty yard runs. 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.400 They were brutal runs. It's an average of four and 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.919 a half yards per carry. That to me tells me 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:53.560 that the offensive learning and the Arizona Cardinals consistently were 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.320 able to move the ball and run the ball every 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.400 time they handed it off to a running back, and 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.640 that to me matters. The how you win matters. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.680 You can sense it, you can feel in the locker room, 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.679 you can hear it in what guys say. Kyler Murray 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.360 had a comment after the game that they didn't feel 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.280 like there was anything the Jets could throw at them 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.000 that they couldn't navigate and they couldn't still advance the 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.120 ball down the field. It's that team confidence. It's just 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.720 that sense. And Trey McBride talked about that and where 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.440 they are right now at six and four. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.559 I feel like we're one play away from beating the Bills. 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.160 You know, week one, we had a couple really close 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.480 games early on, and you know, we had a couple 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.840 of mishaps as well, So I feel like we're really 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.160 close early on and we were just missing it by 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.000 a little bit. And then now, you know, we kind 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:40.800 of get rolling a little bit. You know, now we're 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.240 winning three four in a row, and just continue and 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.120 expect that to happen and continue to happen because the 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.120 work we put in and the process that we have 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:49.840 has been very effective. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.640 You know, we talked in the month August about separation season. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.800 That's when it comes to the roster and players, guys 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.120 separating themselves getting a row to me in an NFL season. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.440 Right now, between Halloween and Thanksgiving is separation season. You 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.520 see teams ascend or you see teams just discombobulate. The 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.960 Cardinals are lamenting too incompletions, trying to figure out what 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.320 happened on the one miscommunication the very first incompletion of 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.280 the game. Well, the Chicago Bears, for example, the Cardinals 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.920 opponent two weeks ago, hasn't scored a touchdown in its 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:24.920 last twenty three possessions. Okay, there's the haves and have nots. Yeah, 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.760 and just where the Cardinals are right now, just fine 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.240 tuning Marcus right I mean, there's nothing glaring knock on 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.400 wood that's wrong. You're just trying to fine tune your game, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:35.240 right now, are you not? 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.560 Yes, like exactly what you're saying. It's like you fine 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.360 tune in your game. But you got the guys. You 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.200 got the guys and not Trey McBride. He got talking 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.240 and everything he say. I can feel because he going 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:46.920 out there and showing it by the way you play, 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.360 and I think about it, like, I gotta bring that up, 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.559 that big time play he had he broke the tackle, 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.440 jumps over a guy insteady going like, that's like you plan, 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.280 like you know that your team can win. And he 0:08:58.320 --> 0:08:59.880 brought that up and they got to keep doing that. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.280 And they going out there each week and they're actually 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.480 plan and believe and you can see from watching that 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.120 they believe that they can win each game. Did they 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:06.920 step on the field. 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.160 You know, we were talking after the game about how 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.000 it looks like the first and second year players have 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.920 elevated their game. Oh yeah, look, you know, you know, 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.240 Trey McBride's gonna bring it, James Connor, Kaiser, White, Buddha Baker, 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.520 Kyler Murray. But it looks like a lot of the 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.960 younger guys have elevated their game, and that to me 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.560 is the rising tide that's lifting this entire team. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.840 You're exactly right, paulyy right there. That's the most encouraging 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.960 thing about the Arizona Cardinals at the by right now, 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.240 six and four and on top of the NFC West. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.560 It is the young guys on this team, the first 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.800 year players, the rookies, and the second year guys, and 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.040 how much better they've gotten the second year guys and 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.280 they're developing and Paul, because they're in the process of 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.800 developing and getting better. That's why I think the Arizona 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.680 Cardinals got off to a two and four start. That 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.800 in the fact, of course that they were playing a 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.320 very tough schedule early on in the but that in 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.240 the fact that these guys are growing and developing. That's 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.199 the reason why they've turned this around, because those guys 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.760 are at the heart of them winning games. Guys like 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:16.079 Garrett Williams, yep, Guys like Paris Johnson Junior. You're number 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.800 two right now, settling down that left tackle. How important 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.200 was that? That was a big question mark coming into 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.280 the season. We're all wondering, how is Paris Johnson Junior 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.840 gonna hold up as a left tackle. He was a 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.880 right tackle, played every snap the year before that. How's 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.640 he gonna hold up at left tackle? 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:33.120 Right now? 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.560 Paris Johnson Junior, he's looking like he's gonna be your 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.160 franchise tackle for over a decade. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.240 You mentioned Garrett Williams. Look at the other two young corners, 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.079 Starling Thomas. Oh yeah, Max Melton, I mean, look, Marcus, 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.160 you rushed the passer for a living. Okay, So let 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.280 me ask you after the game. We asked how many 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.280 different looks did they throw at Aaron Rodgers? And Jonathan 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.240 Gannon said, we threw the bucket at him. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:56.040 That was his quote. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.920 Yeah, well you can't do that unless your quote you 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:00.000 can trust your corner. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:00.840 Correct. Yes. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.280 And then, like you said, those young guys are standing 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.080 out a lot, because I did see they was throwing 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.680 a lot at throwing a lot that the Jets this week, 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.240 and those corners they stood up stood being back there 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.240 you got and then you got guys like Booda Baker 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.120 JT back there you know, the young guys listening to them. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.040 So and it goes back to what you're saying, the 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.920 stars are stand are doing with a great job and 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:19.560 stepping it up. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:20.880 But these other players. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.840 To have a great team, you need the other players 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.720 that's not Starts to really step it up and carry 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:25.040 the team. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.880 And that's what I've been seeing the last few weeks. 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.719 I mean, think about it, twelve different guys got a 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.400 pressure last week in the Carlos defense, the week before, 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.360 sixteen different players. They just keep dialing it up and 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.280 the team just keeps fine tuning and improving, and all 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.760 of a sudden the winning games and it's not close. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:42.679 So now you have to deal with a buy And 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.200 the question of Paris Johnson Junior, all right, is the 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.800 bye week? Is it coming at a good time or 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:48.440 a bad time? 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.480 Kind of wish we kind of keep going, you know 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.040 what I mean, because you're already in a rhythm. You're 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.880 you're in a rhythm, You're in your routine. But you know, 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:56.720 I know we'll be able to come back together and 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.800 be able to get back into our process and we'll 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.079 be able to pick up where they left off. And 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.320 when I starts to how we come back to practice, 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:04.520 when we all come back together. 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.160 See can I just jump in here, Polly and say 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.160 this right now? Just listening to Paris Johnson Junior. And 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.920 that cuts the thing I love about this football team. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.360 They got dogs, Paul. They got a lot of dogs 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.080 inside that locker room, Marcus, and you know that how 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.960 important that is. I think it's coming at a great time. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.240 And the reason why I say the Buys coming at 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.280 a great time is because they got dogs inside the 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.280 locker room who are gonna come back and be dogs. Yes, 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.120 they're not gonna suddenly turn into cats. They're gonna be dogs. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.719 And because of that, guys like Paris Johnson Junior, I 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.640 don't think he's gonna get complacent. I don't think I 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.880 don't think anybody inside that locker room is gonna get 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:55.680 complacent because they're not gonna let them. The dogs inside 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.720 that locker room aren't gonna let anybody get complacent. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.199 I mean, think about your head coach. They just did 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.280 an offseason study on momentum. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:05.040 This just in. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.800 He doesn't really believe in momentum. So I don't think 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.000 he really fears the bye week, not when he sets 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.760 the standard, not when he applies the accountability. Wolf we 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.160 do his TV show. They have a four game winning streak, Marcas, 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.520 and he shares with us on the TV show that 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.360 every Monday meeting he holds guys accountable, maybe even more 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.040 so in a win. And you're gonna hear your name 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.080 called in front of the entire team if he notices 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.800 you're up there on film with a loaf or a 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.559 mental error. And I just think that's the sort of 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.480 thing combined with players like James Connor and Buddha Baker 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.920 and kay Zier White, the team captain's holding guys accountable. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:48.280 That's why you're seeing this consistency. And then you have 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.520 the quarterback who might have been the toughest player on 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.960 the field based on the hit he took. We'll talk 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.160 about him next on the Big Red Range presented by 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.000 Santan Ford. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:04.959 In Gilbert Murray under center, takes his play action of 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.320 foot to the lapt and Murray gonna keep it. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.760 He walks into the end zone for a touchdown. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:11.160 Kyler Murray with. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.480 Maybe the easiest touchdown run of his career. Snap to Murray, 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.240 drop straight back a fad right corner of the end zone. 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.520 Harrison Paul want a cat for a touchdown. Marvin Harrison 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.000 Junior holds it in just a cord, just dropping the 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:27.240 bucket by Murray. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:33.760 Spin the pig, Kyler, what dime being dropped into the 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.840 buckets right over the shoulder of Marvin Harrison Junior. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.160 Snap to Murray and he's gonna keep it running right 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.880 to the outside ten, stays in bounds of the five 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.080 and into the end zone for his second touchdown. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.080 Then he takes the football and hoists it into the casino. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.360 Kyler Murray a dominant performance here today and it's thirty 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.560 to six Arizona. 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.600 So he had as many touchdown runs as he had incompletions. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:00.920 Is that good? 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.200 That's good, Paul, good enough. 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.760 To be named NFC Offensive Player of the Week. That 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.560 was the honor that came his way. Uh and you 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.040 know what I mean. It doesn't just stop there with 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.440 the two touchdown runs twenty two to twenty four, two 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.160 sixty six through the air, touchdown through the air. You 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.480 heard that, No picks. The ball security has been phenomenal. 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.200 We'll get into that one. Twenty six point seven the 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.479 passer rating and oh, by the way, seventeen straight completions 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.240 is how he ended the game. A new team record 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.760 better in Kurt Warner the Hall of Famer. It is 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.200 the Big Red Race presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert, 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.560 Paul Calvic, Ron Wolfley, and Marcus Golden. Before we get 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.880 into the hitty absorbed, let's just talk about what he 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.960 put in the box score and what you saw is 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.120 the guy who studied quarterbacks for a living. What stood 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.000 out to you now, maybe this game, maybe this month 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.080 about Kyler Murray. 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.840 Yes, like you said, anytime you able to mention Kurt 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.400 Warner and saying you broke somebody record like that, and 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.960 you know what type of how you've been playing this season, 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.240 He's been playing unbelievable. Really, I said, he's been showing 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.920 why he's been drafted number one overall. When you get 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.720 drafted that high, you expect to come make a franchise better. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:11.960 And he's showing that this year. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.920 And it's exciting to see fest for me as a 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.480 former player, but also just as a fan, and it's 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.000 excited to see him doing that. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:19.280 And he out there balling. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.440 He went twenty two for twenty four out of twenty four, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.840 like you said, touchdown too, rushing touchdowns and got Play 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.920 of the Week. So he out there putting the work 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.760 in and it feels good to see it because he 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.240 taught there making the whole team better. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:31.400 That's what you can tell. 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.320 And by the way, he did it against the number 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.320 two passing defense in the league once again. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.640 Yeah, just like once again Miami had the Miami was 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.920 number one in terms of yards per game allowed, passing 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.240 yards per game allowed, number one. It's just like the Chargers. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.400 Think how tough the Chargers number one scoring, number one 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.120 scoring defense in the league. And then it was the Dolphin. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.200 I mean, it's just amazing to see this. Four games 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:59.240 in a row against really good defenses, the Chicago Bears, 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.920 the number two defensive quarterback rated team in the league. 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.840 Very very difficult to actually throw the ball against the Bears. Look, 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.840 the Arizona Cardinals right now have gone through a bit 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:15.080 of a gauntlet, four games against really good defenses the 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.280 last four games, and now they're sitting here six and four. 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:24.160 Something is happening, Paul. Something is happening to this team offensively, defensively, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.160 and in transition with special teams as well. But Kyler 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.800 Murray is right at the center of that something. 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.360 Yes, right after the thirty one to six win, here's 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.359 Kyler Murray at the podium with the media on this 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.200 success of the passing game in particular. 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:39.320 Guys, did hell of the job, the front. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:40.040 My job. 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:41.280 Just put the ball in their hands and let them 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.399 do what they do, you know, and try to get completions. 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.639 You know, that's what I did today. I try to 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.960 just keep it as simple as possible. And the guys, 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:49.679 you know, they made plays that made plays for me 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.680 all day and it's great to go out there and 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.240 feel the way we felt today, you know, to be 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:54.119 able to execute. 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:55.720 The fact that he was at the podium and not 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.000 in the hospital is remarkable considering the hit he took. 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:03.160 That blind side sack. I mean from the sideline, it 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.040 looked like a pedestrian who got hit in the crosswalk 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.919 by a pickup truck. I mean, that's how hard he 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.480 got hit. What's the hardest you ever hit a quarterback? 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.240 Marcus School? Is there an answer to that question? 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.960 That's a good question, man. A few come to mind 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.800 when I think about it, man cut, but one particularly. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.480 I actually came off the edge free and. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.320 A uh Baker Mayfield was right there standing there looking 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:25.600 for me. 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.880 I crushed him. I wanted to get the ball. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.359 I thought I hit him helping the hell, but I 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.240 was looking up like man, if they finish, throw a flag. Thankfully, 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.040 I ain't get a flag, but that was a pretty 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.600 good hield. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.600 Yes, did you backshot? 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:39.239 Did I whacked him out? 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.800 It was he was like this, and if I should 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:44.320 have just scripped the ball man, I was trying to 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.600 get a good hit on him. But but uh, I 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:47.879 was glad I ain't get that flag. 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.320 Can you hear the air come out of a quarterback 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:51.440 when you hit him that hard? 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:51.800 Yes? 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.520 Yes, especially man, when you catch them blind side and 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.280 you come in free. You can feel it, man, and 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.000 you pray for those type of shots when on any quarterback. 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.720 So Kyler Man, but he got back up, He got 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.760 right back up, picked his hilim and up, had his 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:06.720 matt on his face and was ready to go man 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:07.800 and finished the game scrown. 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.280 Well, here's what the head coach had to say. We 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.199 asked him to assess Kyler Murray, especially the game he 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.040 put out there and the hit he took. 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.439 I haven't seen all the other games, but if there 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.680 is a better player on the planet, you better show me, 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.159 because I thought he was the best player on the 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:21.800 planet today. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.920 Jonathan Gannon let that hang in the air for a moment, 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.680 and Wolf, I mean, you know this probably better than 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.560 either one of us combined because you got your finger 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.800 on the pulse. So what's being said nationally this week? 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.120 Isn't Kyler Murray getting a lot of discussion for being 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:36.640 right there in the MVP race? 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.320 Yes, yes, there is a lot of people that are 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:43.639 talking about Kyler Murray as an MVP right now. Once again, 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.720 when you look at the power poles, the Arizona Cardinals, 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:49.159 and I'm not big on a power pole, I'm not, 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.359 but you know what, there are analysts and pundits that 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:56.119 are out there and most entities have the Arizona Cardinals 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.520 in the top ten and in their power poles. I'm 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.240 talking about, Yeah, the Arizona Cardinals at six and four. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.040 You know why that is? It's because of Kyler Murray. 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.240 Right now, and let me just go back to the hit. 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.760 I think it's a still point moment at Kyler Murray's career. 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.360 I'm talking about this one of the reasons why for Kyler. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.840 You can't get hit any harder than he got hit. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.520 You can't your helmet rolled ten yards, you got landed 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:29.000 on as well, blindsided, just got the back waxed. And 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.480 yet you know what, your teammates saw that as well, 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:34.960 and then they saw you get up with a wry 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.600 smile on your face, and I think I know why 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.480 he was smiling, but I'll get to that momentarily. They 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:43.800 saw you get up with a smile on your face 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:48.080 and throw a touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison Junior just 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:52.840 a couple of plays after that. That to me is saying, 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.440 I'm here, I'm gonna take the most vicious hit I've 0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:00.119 ever taken in my life, and I don't care. I'm 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.520 gonna get up and I'm gonna go ahead and throw 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.880 a touchdown pass that was dropping a dime. And his 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:12.480 teammates saw that as well, and that is really really important, 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.760 the resiliency and the toughness to take that hit and 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:18.960 then get up and finish the game the way that 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:22.320 he did. Oh man, that's gonna pay off big. 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:24.480 We're gonna hear from Trey McBride. Then, I want to 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.560 hear why you think he was smiling. Here's Trey McBride 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.720 and Kyler Murrain his play this season. 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:30.320 Elite Man. 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.560 The guy is zoned in. He's locked in. You know, 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.960 you can just kind of tell he's got that look 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.480 in his eye and when he's in that mode, he's unstoppable. 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:40.720 You know, I'm kind of irritated I dropped that ball 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.280 in the end zone. He could have had a you know, 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:45.800 almost a dang perfect game besides that first play. So 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.120 that makes me sick that I dropped that ball for him. 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:50.240 But he's playing at a really high level right now. 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.040 I'm excited for him, and I'm excited to continue to 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:53.600 grow with him. 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:55.680 And again after he took that, By the way, that 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.800 was the second fastest sack this year two point two 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.520 four seconds Quinn Williams, according to an exten satz. So 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:06.520 that was instantaneous. Well why do you think he was smiling. 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.919 For me, PAULI. I think it's a situation where, you know, 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.199 that had to be a nightmare for him all of 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.159 the you know, he's never been hit like that. Have 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.119 you ever seen him hit like that any or even close? 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.239 Write nothing. Nobody can get a clean shot on him. 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.680 Most of it exactly right. And I think it happened. 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.879 It finally happened, his worst nightmare maybe of how he 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.840 might be hit, and it happened in his helmet rolled 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.320 once again ten yards and he got up and said, 0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:37.800 you know what, I can't face anything worse than that. 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.920 And he was smiling, and that to me means he 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:46.240 accepts it and moves on with his career. You know me, Paul, 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.480 I might read into this stuff a little bit too much. 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:52.200 I might do that, and I freely admit it. As 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:56.840 a former wedgebuster, the physicality of it and actually going 0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.000 through all of that, I remember what it was like 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.040 to bust a wedge for the first time, and the 0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:06.200 fear that I had going into this thing. It was incredible. 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.800 You're hitting a man who's three hundred and forty pounds 0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:10.679 in the wedge and you're hitting him right in the 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:15.320 face on a dead sprint. That's gotta hurt. Guess what 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:19.399 it didn't. And it made me smile once I put 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:23.080 that quote unquote demon to rest, and I'm wondering if 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:25.040 he did the exact same thing. 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.960 Yes, you guys played two decades. 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:28.480 I get it. 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:30.560 Okay, I might not know much, but I'm pretty sure 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:32.680 I know this much. If you have that guy at 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.640 that position, you don't have to have the NFL's best 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.639 roster to advance deep into the postseason. Joe Burrow did 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.160 it a couple of years ago. Heck Patrick Mahomes last year, 0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:43.360 did he have the best set of weapons and receivers 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:48.000 last year. Absolutely not twenty fifteen was your rookie year. 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.719 Carson Palmer had had a Pro Bowl season, did he not? 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:52.640 He did? How big? Was that? 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:55.040 Just elevating when you have that guy? And then what's 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:57.439 the belief in the locker room Marcus, when you know 0:23:57.560 --> 0:23:58.359 you have that guy? 0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:01.600 Yes, yes, like you said, I started with twenty and fifteen. 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:03.720 I hate you had to bring that whatever. That's the 0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:06.280 closest I got to wait to the super Bowl. But man, 0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:08.960 that was some good times when you got a quarterback though, 0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:11.640 like Carson, Like Carson back then, that was the best 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.040 quarterback I had for a long time until I probably 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.720 got to play back with Kyler Marray. But Carson, man, 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:18.439 he was a be He's a leader. You knew when 0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:20.840 you stepped on that field, Hey, my quarterback is going 0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:22.440 to go out there and give me a chance to win. 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:23.960 So if you got a bunch of guys in the 0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:25.840 locker room who know the quarterback is going to go 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:27.840 out there and push the ball down the field and 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.000 put points on the board, they give you no choice 0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:31.800 but to be happy and go out there and know 0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:33.560 you can hunt. Because we got a chance to go 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:34.440 out there and win the game. 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.239 And what's different for me with Kyler this year is 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.439 the ability the different ways he's able to win some 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:42.840 of these games. Yes, their games are he's had two 0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:45.000 carries for six yards. There's games are is a fifty 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.520 yard touchdown or run forty four yard touchdown run. Then 0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:49.680 there's games where he sits in the pocket. And when 0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:52.080 he does sit in the pocket, doesn't he look a 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:54.040 little more comfortable this year than years past? 0:24:54.080 --> 0:24:55.679 Would you guys agree with that? Yes? I do. 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.439 It looked like and I've been watching just from watching 0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.600 the last few games to see just look like he 0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:02.800 can't control. He looked like he ain't control. And it 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:05.600 goes back to knowing what your quarterback can do. Watching them. 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:07.320 Every time we get on the field on offense, it 0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:09.359 looks like, hey, we got a chance to score. And 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:11.199 when you a quarterback like that, that you know, man, 0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:13.400 we got a chance to score. Every time he get 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.520 on the field, man, that's gonna bring the whole team 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:17.720 together and get everybody going. 0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.159 And it's also part of the process right now with 0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:23.840 him going under center and using play action a lot 0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:25.880 of times, you got to hook up in that pocket 0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:27.560 and you've got to be able to throw the ball 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:30.240 over the middle of the field, and that's what he's 0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:33.280 been doing as well. So to me, it's all part 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:35.600 of the process, and he's getting reps and I think 0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:37.280 he's getting more comfortable because of that. 0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:39.040 I think we all saw him throw the ball into 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.280 the casitas. That was great stuff.

The 0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:10.240 bull came out Rogers and an't got it back. Luketta 0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:13.119 with the sack and that bors is a fun What 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:17.159 about that surprise, Jesse Luketta. 0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:19.480 Rogers drops back in trouble, moving left, gets. 0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:23.199 Hit from behind, bull flutters it's loose and recovered by 0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:23.880 the Cardinals. 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.040 At the ten, savior Thomas. 0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:29.560 Hacking it out, recovered by Heisier White. 0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:31.879 The rookie made a play. 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:36.480 Savior Thomas Rodgers takes the snap blitz coming, Rodgers has 0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:40.840 no chance, sacked by Fooda Baker for a loss of 0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:42.720 eight at the forty yard. 0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:46.399 Live Buda Baker came off the edge clean and Aaron 0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:49.920 Rodgers got his backwaxed. 0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:52.639 Buddha with his first Secons twenty twenty one about the 0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.960 last two weeks. Nine sacks the last two weeks for 0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:01.480 a Cardinals defense. That is absolutely bawling, especially at home. 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:06.040 That is four straight games right where the Cardinals defense 0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.320 in the second half. Think of this a second half 0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:13.080 shutout four times now, it should say in twenty twenty four. 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:15.640 So Jonathan again and we asked them about halftime adjustment. 0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:18.280 He said, no, there's just always adjustments throughout the entirety 0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:18.640 of the game. 0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:19.159 We get it. 0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:21.680 Here's what else we get that the Giant the Jets 0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.840 and their six possessions went fueld goal, fueld goal, punt, 0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:28.000 they lost to fumble, they went punt turnover on downs, 0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:31.120 so they got absolutely stymied, held out of the end zone. 0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:33.840 Thirty one to six is your final Paul Kelvy c 0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:36.120 Ron Wolfey here on the Big Red Rage presented by 0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:39.679 santan Ford and Gilbert are special guest tonight former Cardinals 0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:42.800 defender a decade in the league, Marcus Golden. And so Marcus, 0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:45.440 here we go in your wheelhouse, the pass rush, the defense. 0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:48.439 You tell us you've been watching Cardinals football lately. What 0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:50.800 are you impressed by the most recently? 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:54.240 And I'm really impressed a lot just be off tops. 0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.120 Just the coaches is putting the guys in a great 0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:57.919 position on defense to be able to go out there 0:27:57.920 --> 0:27:59.720 and make a lot of plays. And those guys are 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.600 going out there and stepping it up and all together. 0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:04.480 When I watch the defense, I always try to watch 0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:05.600 like how they playing together? 0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:06.480 How do they look? 0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:08.399 It's some dogs on the fields, everybody getting to the 0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:09.560 ball trying to make plays. 0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:10.520 And that's what I see. 0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:12.600 It's like each week it's a big play that they 0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:14.800 make to get the offense to ball and the offense 0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:17.080 go score, or just some big play. You can always 0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:19.399 point out a moment in every game where the defense 0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:21.360 stepping it up and making big plays, and it's just 0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:23.520 it's so many guys. It's so many guys. Of course 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:26.399 you got the start boota Baker flying all over the field, 0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:28.200 but you got all the other guys, Like you said, 0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:30.919 Kaizer steals it's just a lot of guys out there. 0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:32.879 They're stepping it up and making big plays. 0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:37.120 You know. For me, Paul, right now, I see an 0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:40.880 identity that is starting to form with this defense, and 0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:44.040 I think that's really really important. It's not the end 0:28:44.080 --> 0:28:46.480 all be all, but I think it's important that they 0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:49.239 have an identity, and the identity is we're not going 0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:52.600 to give up explosives. That's not what we're going to do. 0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:55.760 We're not going to give up explosive plays. As a 0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:57.600 matter of fact, the New York Jets did not have 0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:00.760 a play that was over twenty yards. Twenty yards is 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:03.520 a big play. Twenty yards or more is considered a 0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:06.719 big play in the National Football League. The longest play 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:10.440 was a fifteen yard screen pass to Brace Hall. That 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.600 was it. They didn't give up any explosives. This is 0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:17.400 what they've been doing over the last four weeks. In particular, 0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:21.440 they are allowing a team to matriculate the ball down 0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:24.160 the field. If you look at their metrics, they're giving 0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:26.440 up a lot of yards, whether it's running yards or 0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:29.840 passing yards. They're not great on third down still, they're 0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:32.560 not getting off the field. But where they are great 0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:36.920 is in the red zone. They are jumping teams in 0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.320 the red zone and keeping them out. By way of example, 0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:43.000 the New York Jets zero for three in the red 0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.560 zone once again. The Arizona Cardinals right now. Would it 0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:49.560 blow your mind to know they are a top ten 0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:54.680 red zone defense right now? Top ten red zone. Hey, 0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:56.680 and by the way, we're not talking about week two 0:29:57.160 --> 0:30:00.000 top ten defense in the red zone. We're talking about 0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:04.640 week ten. Yes, ten games they've played in Paul, They've 0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:07.959 really done a great job of trapping teams in the 0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:08.680 red zone. 0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:10.960 Well, think about the Jets had a season low two 0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:13.720 hundred and seven total yards. They had a season low 0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:16.480 one hundred and fifty one yards passing. That's with Aaron 0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.440 Rodgers and supposedly one of the best receiver rooms in 0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:21.800 the league. Here's what Jonathan Gannon had to say about 0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:23.600 that defensive performance against New York. 0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:25.800 When you come into a game like this and you 0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:29.680 prepare for a quarterback of that caliber, with the weapons 0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.280 that they have, you never know how it's kind of 0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:34.840 gonna go. I thought they really stepped up. I like 0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:37.600 to plan a lot, and it was well executed and 0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:39.440 a bunch of guys are making plays, And I thought 0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:42.160 our motive play was on display. Man, Like, we'll grade 0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:44.040 the tape hard, but there's not gonna be a lot 0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.040 of loafs our. Guys are humming, they're hitting. The hitting 0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:49.840 is on display. When you do that, you'll give yourself 0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:50.280 a chance. 0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:52.160 You don't have to have the most talented roster in 0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:54.360 the league to have a sound defense, to have a 0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:58.200 hard hitting defense, to have a defense that is always 0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:01.280 playing at volume ten, right, I mean on the sideline, 0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:04.080 they see guys because they use the rotation you tell me, Marcus, 0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:06.120 I mean there are guys are I want it, And 0:31:06.120 --> 0:31:09.160 then when they get the rep, it's a full blown 0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:12.400 hundred percent effort rep because they don't know how many 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:14.959 they're getting per game. And I just to me, that's 0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:16.600 what I see out there, that effort level. 0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:18.000 Yes, yes, I see a lot of it. 0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:20.640 And then it goes back to what Wolf always saying, 0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:22.479 they got a bunch of dogs out there, and they 0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.200 got some dogs out there. And when you just said that, 0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.720 guys are standing on the sideline ready to get in. 0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:30.720 Jesse he's been called up to step up and make 0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:31.200 some plays. 0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:32.080 And it seems. 0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.480 Like what back to back these last two weeks, he 0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:36.840 had a sack each week. He's out there really stepping 0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:38.680 it up man and rushing the pass, and they say 0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:40.760 it's a lot no bat no matter who's on their field, 0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:42.840 the defense is out there flying around and the guy 0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:44.800 on the field believes he can make the play. And 0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:46.920 then I see that a lot from the whole defense. 0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:48.840 And you know what, let me just jump in here 0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:51.160 on top of that and just say, Buddha Baker is 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:54.800 an awesome model to have for every guy that is 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.920 on the field. Yes, the fact that Buddha Baker is 0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:01.560 out there flying around. He's the smallest guy on the 0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.640 field week after week after week, and all he does 0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:08.080 is blow your face off. That's what he does. And 0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:11.000 you know what, at some point in time, you've got 0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:14.560 guys that are watching him, guys that are on the sideline, 0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:17.080 and guys that are actually on the field. His teammate 0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:20.160 watching him as well, especially when they go into the 0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:22.720 film room and they watch that tape and they watch 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:26.120 this guy flying around. At some point in time, it 0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:30.080 challenges every dude who puts a mouthguard in and walks 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:33.120 out there on the field with Buddha Baker. If he's 0:32:33.240 --> 0:32:35.760 playing like that, why aren't you. 0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:40.080 Nine more tackles. He has one hundred tackles in ten games. 0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:43.600 He's tracking for a career year. He's the best open 0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:46.320 field tackler in the NFL. I'll say it. You can 0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:49.280 at me if you want, but here's Boodh himself on 0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:53.040 just how the defense has been playing recently and the 0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:55.480 way they're making it difficult for every opponent. 0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:58.880 We just control we can control. We live through the process, 0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.480 you know, I tell him, you know, separations in the preparation, 0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:04.080 how we prepare throughout the week, so and that's when 0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:05.760 we know know what to do on Sunday. We have 0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:08.880 fun and we control what we can control. Take one 0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:12.479 play at a time, alignment as Simon key technique, and 0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:15.400 that's what we do. We're tight, knick group. We all 0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.360 love each other and it's definitely special to come out 0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:20.480 on the field and play with these guys here. 0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:23.320 I want your analysis here, Marcus and what the Cardinals 0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:26.160 are doing to neutralize the opposing receiver rooms because the 0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:28.719 last three games are remarkable to me. Miami came in 0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:31.320 with Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell. They got some catches, 0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.120 they got some yards, didn't wreck the game, didn't get 0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:35.160 into the end zone. Then you go against the Bears 0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:38.560 Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, Roma Dunza. Hello, they didn't wreck 0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:41.480 the game. And then DeVante Adams and Garrett Williams, two 0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:45.320 really talented Pro Bowl receivers and they didn't knew much 0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:47.560 of anything to impact the game. So how are the 0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.800 Cardinals neutralizing because they're going to go to Seattle next 0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:52.800 and we know Seattle's the best part about their team 0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.480 are the three receivers? Yes, So what's working for the 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:56.479 Cardinals in that regard? 0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.360 I think, like you said, like I said before we go, 0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:00.640 it gotta work with the coaches. Start with the coach. 0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:02.760 What are we gonna do to neutralize these guys. You 0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:05.120 got some of the best players in the world coming 0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:07.920 in here and most athletic athletic guys in the world 0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.319 that ride receiver, and we gotta put a plan to 0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:12.399 be able to shut these guys out. After that, it's 0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:14.319 a players. We gotta come together and believe it in 0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:16.200 this play and go out here and play hard and 0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:18.560 take these guys away from the game. And then you 0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:20.520 gotta ask, and well know, we keep coming back to Buddha. 0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:22.719 But then you got JT. You got two great safeties 0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:25.279 back there. So even as the receivers and running and 0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:27.120 trying to get open, you know, hey, man, I might 0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:28.959 take a hit from one of them safeties back there. 0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.680 So I think it's just overall playing together, of course, 0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:33.799 but guys are stepping it up at the right time 0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:35.720 and making the players they supposed to make. The counsel 0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:36.560 of those receivers out. 0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:40.279 Can you say cover three? Yeah, say cover three right now? 0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:43.759 Three deep? They are three D pauly four underneath. Of course, 0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:47.160 they're playing really, really well in terms of their zone discipline. 0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:47.719 Yes they are. 0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:50.840 And it's not just cover three that they're playing, of course, 0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:54.879 but they're coverage. They're buttoned up on the back end, 0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:59.799 and you know, everybody seems to be playing the right defense. Now, 0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:02.000 you know, there's a lot of times out there where 0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:05.880 you might have miscommunication and that's gonna shoot you in 0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:07.920 the foot at some point in time. That is a 0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:12.759 defensive coordinator's worst nightmare, that you're gonna have miscommunication and 0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:15.520 there's gonna be a mental error. There's not a lot 0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.600 of mental airrors. You don't see a lot of wide 0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:21.239 receivers running open. Okay, Now, we have seen it from 0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:23.560 time to time, You're always going to see that in 0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:27.279 a season, but man, not on a regular basis. There 0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:32.279 haven't been a lot of busted coverages in the secondary. 0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:31.719 You know. 0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:34.040 I look at this Cardinals defense. I look at this 0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:38.280 Cardinals team. They're not beating themselves. Yes, too often, especially 0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:40.080 the first month of the season. And I think a 0:35:40.080 --> 0:35:41.600 lot of it, to your point, Wolf had to do 0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.799 with a lot of first and second year players. But 0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:47.160 you know, different guys taking their one turn to make 0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:49.520 their one mistake of the game and it's enough to 0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:51.800 get you beat. Yeah, that's what I saw in the Jets. 0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:54.319 I saw different guys taking their one turn to make 0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:56.080 there you know. And at the very end of the game, 0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:58.360 on that final failed fourth down, there's Aaron Rodgers with 0:35:58.400 --> 0:36:00.279 his palms up like what are you doing? And he's 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:04.120 yelling at Garrett Wilson even And you know, that's how 0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:07.560 to me how the Cardinals are getting a competitive advantage. 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:10.400 And you can't tell me the coaching you mentioned the 0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:13.960 coaching and taking away these receivers. Marcus, to me again, 0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:16.960 you don't have to have the most talented roster in 0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:20.239 the league to just be a sound football team. And 0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:23.080 when one, two or three plays decide the game and 0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:24.960 you're not beating yourself. To me, that can be the 0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:27.840 difference in the game. Well, Paulie, you gotta find dudes 0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:31.960 who think that way. Yes, and that's where many ausen 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:35.360 Ford and JG. They're on the same page as to 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:36.840 what kind of human being they're going to. 0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:37.719 Bring in this. 0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:38.759 Let me tell you. 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:43.239 Is Jonah Williams tracking to return? We don't know, but 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:47.680 we know he's been practicing. What about Darius Robinson. 0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:49.480 Oh boy, the king. 0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:52.040 What if you added a game wrecker at least based 0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.640 on training camp. We'll talk about that next. The Big 0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:57.880 Red Rage, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert. 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:07.919 Zuri, brings pressure and they throw Leary down, Larry Darius Robinson. 0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:11.560 Here's Brown pan Brown is sacked. 0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:14.040 He is taken down by Darius Robinson. 0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:17.160 They gonna six Yearry taking down. 0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:21.080 He couldn't call the trigger and Darius Robinson comes up 0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:21.680 with a sack. 0:37:21.800 --> 0:37:26.360 Keep your eye on Darius Robinson just simply beats his man. 0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:29.960 One on one, Bresler on third and six pockets collapsing. 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:33.759 So as hey, it's Darius Robinson that gets home. 0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:35.200 Yeah, you can feel this presence. 0:37:35.239 --> 0:37:38.080 I will say that He's one of those guys that's like, yeah, 0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:39.840 you are a first try to do it for a reason. 0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:43.440 So it's nice to play behind him. Get off as crazy. 0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.680 His strength is crazy. I think there's more. He fine 0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:48.080 tunes his game within the scheme of learning to playbook, 0:37:48.080 --> 0:37:49.839 which is I thought he's picking up very well. 0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:52.000 He's going to be a monster for us. 0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:55.839 Let that hang in the air. That's joint practice at 0:37:55.880 --> 0:37:59.719 Indianapolis in August. That's Chris Barnes better an inside linebacker. 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.640 Players no players, And I can tell you right now 0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:06.280 that was the consensus in the locker room. Darius Robinson 0:38:06.320 --> 0:38:08.560 before he got hurt, what he put out there on 0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:10.879 the field, what he put out there on the practice film, 0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:12.600 what he put out there against the Colts, and oh, 0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:15.560 I don't know all pro guard Quentin Nelson when he 0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:19.560 jacked him up one on one. 'tis the holiday season? 0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:19.800 You know? 0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:22.160 The gift that would keep on giving for the Arizona Cardinals, 0:38:22.239 --> 0:38:26.000 the return of Darius Robinson, the first rounder out of Missouri, 0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:29.839 Paul calv c Ron Wolfley, and Marcus Golden Marks here 0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:32.280 did I hear the missoo fight song? In that montage 0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:33.839 by Jim momunter, I think I did in there. 0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:37.040 Yes, yeah, in my z z o U elion Zoo. 0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:39.120 Shout out to my Missou brothers. Man, we got to 0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:40.080 represent for Maszoo. 0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:40.319 Man. 0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:43.680 So tell us about your connection with Darius Robinson. It 0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:45.759 goes back a few years, doesn't it. Yes, yes, it 0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:48.840 goes back a few years. I remember I was visiting Miszoo. 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:50.680 I think it was. Was it a spring practice? I 0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:52.960 can't remember. I think it was the spring practice. And 0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.799 I've seen a young guy, the big guy. I'm like, 0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:57.839 I asked one of the coaches, who is that kid man? 0:38:57.880 --> 0:39:00.000 And you was like, oh, that's Darius Robert. He gonna 0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:01.880 be real good, man, he gonna be real good. And 0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:02.719 I'm like yeah, man. 0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:05.320 So I start watching him, checking him out, and eventually 0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:07.640 we was able to connect and then talk to each other, 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:09.680 talk about past rush moves he can do when he 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:12.319 was at Massou and man, he's a beast man. And 0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:14.160 for to see where he at and going first round, 0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:16.359 I wasn't surprised because when I first saw him, like yeah, 0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:18.280 he looked like he can do something, and he proved 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:19.600 it that he can get out there and do it, man, 0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:21.799 And I'm glad to see him here proud of Now. 0:39:22.040 --> 0:39:24.280 Look, admittedly I need to go, Pauli, pump my brakes 0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:27.200 a little bit. Okay, I get it. So Wolf, what's realistic? 0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:27.600 All right? 0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:30.160 If he's healthy in the next two or three weeks. 0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:30.640 We don't. 0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:33.439 We honestly don't know. Oh we know is that Jonathan Ganner, 0:39:33.440 --> 0:39:35.239 at the end of his postgame press conference, was asked 0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:38.400 if he's confident Darius Robinson will return to play this season. Quote, 0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:42.759 I'm very confident. So that was bullish. But what's realistic 0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:44.359 you think in terms of the impact he can make 0:39:44.400 --> 0:39:44.959 and how soon? 0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:47.879 Oh, Pauli, you're asking the wrong guy, because I think 0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:51.040 if I had to pick one position this team needs, 0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:52.320 it's Darius Robinson. 0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:52.680 Agreed. 0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:56.560 Just the injuries alones. Oh, just the injuries alone, Paully. 0:39:56.640 --> 0:39:59.160 But it's not only that. This is a guy that 0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:02.640 is gonna impact and opponent's ability to run the ball. 0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:05.040 He's gonna be good in the running game, and he's 0:40:05.080 --> 0:40:07.759 gonna be really good in the passing game as well. 0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:09.759 And I'm not saying he's gonna go out there and 0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:13.480 suddenly turn into a three technique that's gonna get ten sacks. 0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:15.840 The rest of the season. I'm just talking about a 0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:20.239 guy that can generate pressure, interior pressure, or you can 0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:23.120 go ahead and stick him out on the edge as well. 0:40:23.160 --> 0:40:27.360 He can line up in any gap, tackle the tackle, 0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:30.839 and when you don't know where he might line up, 0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:34.920 that becomes a problem for an offense, especially if he 0:40:35.040 --> 0:40:38.040 shows the kind of talent, the kind of bursts that 0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:40.120 we all expect him to right now. He's going to 0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:43.000 impact the other team's ability to run the ball, and 0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:45.760 he's going to impact the other team's ability to throw 0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:49.920 the ball. And that's exactly what this defense needs the most, 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:53.880 in my opinion. Right now, somebody's gonna stick his hand 0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:56.320 in the dirt and get dirty. 0:40:56.840 --> 0:40:59.080 I was talking to running backs recently. I said, refresh 0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.520 my memory and Darius Robinson, what do you remember from camp? 0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:03.720 They said, you know what? I remember getting the handoff 0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:05.759 and eleven on eleven and he's right in my lap 0:41:05.960 --> 0:41:09.240 that he's busting through the interior of the old line. Marcus, 0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:11.320 you tell us if you can get that guy who's 0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:13.759 that sort of nuisance and penetrating the interior. The on 0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:15.600 line offenses hate that, don't. 0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:17.520 They, Yes, they hated it a lot. Man rookie is 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:18.520 not that guy. Man. 0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:20.280 Even when I saw him playing in the Miszoo, always 0:41:20.320 --> 0:41:22.120 like Man, that guy got a motor on him. Just 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:24.799 he never stops. Man, And I watch for guys like that. 0:41:24.800 --> 0:41:27.120 That's some of my favorite players. So when you play 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.239 like that, then you got the gifts that he got. Man, 0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:32.360 big old guy, long arms, can can naturally bend the 0:41:32.480 --> 0:41:35.080 edge or go through him in the Sky's the limit 0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:37.239 for him, honestly. Man, With the abilities that he got 0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:39.080 and the way he played a game, that's what I 0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:41.439 really love about him. So yes, I really do think 0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:43.879 that he can come in right away. You know, he young, 0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:45.680 is still this rookie year. You give him some time, 0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.480 but I will honestly say, before the season is over, 0:41:48.520 --> 0:41:51.040 I feel like this kid gonna dominate. He gonna make 0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:53.040 some big plays this season. And I say that by 0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:55.960 the way he played. He played hard. Man, when their 0:41:55.960 --> 0:41:58.319 snap go, when that ball go. He plays hard all 0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:00.360 the way to the whistle every play and can do 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:02.600 that as a young player. I feel like it makes 0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:03.239 some big plays in it. 0:42:03.640 --> 0:42:06.640 So wait a minute, Marcus, are you calling him a dog? 0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:12.840 Yes, yes, he's a dog, a dog dog man, You know, 0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:14.480 dog goodness right there? 0:42:14.560 --> 0:42:18.239 That is Somebody go tell Darius Marcus Golden just called 0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:18.919 him a dog. 0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:21.200 Yes, man, Yes, he got what it takes man. And 0:42:21.200 --> 0:42:25.000 I'm excited as a fan Frommazoo in now of course 0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:26.960 for the quarters. I'm excited to see a kid get 0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:28.920 out there. I can't wait, man, I'm excited. 0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:32.320 Hey, motor knows Motor's that's that's all right. And I 0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:35.680 also know this Cardinals defense has been ascending, it's been improving, 0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:37.440 and you hit zoom out. It gives you a lot 0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:39.400 of belief because you know you have weapons on offense, 0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:41.400 you know you have the quarterback, especially based on the 0:42:41.480 --> 0:42:44.680 last few weeks. Here's what Jonathan Gannon had to say recently, 0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:47.560 just knowing what to do, this team learning to win games. 0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:50.560 We know what we have to do to win and 0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:54.879 keep those controllables in our favor, and we're handling those 0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:57.719 right now. But they know that, you know, the last 0:42:57.800 --> 0:43:00.920 however many weeks we've gotten some wins. They know they 0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:02.680 got to do it all over again or they will 0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:06.279 lose and we will lose. And so they know what 0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:08.919 it takes to put themselves and give themselves a chance 0:43:08.960 --> 0:43:09.239 to win. 0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:11.680 That's why I'm not worried about this, PAULI, I really 0:43:11.680 --> 0:43:14.600 am not the bye week happening when it is. I 0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:17.960 think this is a mature football team because they went 0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:21.720 out and they found the guys who think the correct way, 0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:24.520 and they bring them into the locker room dogs. As 0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:26.839 we continue to talk about it, I don't think they're 0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:28.879 going to come back here and go, oh, we're six 0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:30.879 and four and oh my goodness, we're on the top 0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:34.799 of the NFC. That's not who they're targeting. That's not 0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:37.719 who they're going out and getting and bringing into the 0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:40.720 locker room. That's not the guy who thinks that way. 0:43:40.880 --> 0:43:44.000 And that's the reason why I'm bullish on this. It's 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.680 coming at a perfect time to buy where they can 0:43:46.760 --> 0:43:50.080 settle a little bit, get healthy, and then come back 0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:53.160 with a clear understanding of what it is they need 0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:56.080 to do and why they're in the position they are. 0:43:56.480 --> 0:43:57.239 And I love that. 0:43:57.440 --> 0:44:00.440 Regroup, reset, and then put another two hundred yards rushing 0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:02.680 on the Seattle Seahawks who are bottom five and rush 0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.440 d That's our model around here. When you go to Seattle, 0:44:05.600 --> 0:44:07.480 still one of the loudest venues in the league. 0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:09.240 Wouldn't you say yes, yes, for sure? 0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:11.759 What is that challenge like as a player, when you 0:44:11.880 --> 0:44:13.160 go into Seattle. 0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:15.040 You know it's gonna be loud. It's a challenge. Man. 0:44:15.600 --> 0:44:17.120 I hate to say that because I hate to get 0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:19.080 on your they fans that much credit, but it is 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:21.480 loud thrown nor if it's because of how the stadium 0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:23.680 is built. But man, when you but as players, you 0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:25.759 get excited for that, especially being on the Cardinals and 0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:28.200 going to pay Seattle. That's like a rival game. That's 0:44:28.239 --> 0:44:30.320 big time. So the energy gonna be how the guys 0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:33.040 gonna be ready. So I'm pretty sure that the noise 0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:35.319 from the fans won't be a big deal at all 0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:35.880 for the guys. 0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:38.320 Yeah, nothing else that guards against any sort of energy 0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:41.160 letdown because you walk in I mean, yes, it is 0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:43.720 you against the world when you walk into that venue. 0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:46.040 Yes, yes, I remember me and Tanny used to talk 0:44:46.080 --> 0:44:48.360 about that. We couldn't wait to go there and play Seattle. 0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:48.600 Man. 0:44:48.640 --> 0:44:50.919 So there's some great battles. I know those guys gonna 0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:51.839 have some fun out there. 0:44:51.960 --> 0:44:53.120 Marcus, we really enjoyed it. 0:44:53.160 --> 0:44:55.600 Appreciate the time, Appreciate your brother, Thank you, Hey. 0:44:55.400 --> 0:44:58.239 Special thanks as always, jim On Mahundro, Cody Fincher, Matt 0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:00.879 Lazarus for Ron Woffley on Paul ca VC once again. 0:45:01.000 --> 0:45:04.439 Seven games to go, four games in the Division, two 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:06.839 of the next three against Seattle and a road game 0:45:06.880 --> 0:45:10.200 by the way, a marquee matchup at Minnesota that could 0:45:10.239 --> 0:45:13.120 be big in the NFC All Straight Ahead special.
