Hit 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: in the Backfield and Donny goes for a loss. JJ 7 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: Watt Nailed It. Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hunday, 8 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: Visit acy Cardinals dot Com Slash podcasts. He's at the 10 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: ten half of five, hes in again, so for Harry Magic, WHOA, 11 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: Here's Craig Griolu. Every week, Paul, we look for those 12 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,319 Speaker 1: stats to kind of figure out where this game might 13 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: be headed, who has the edge, who might be favored. 14 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: This stat though, might say a lot about where the 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are and obviously what Tom Brady has done 16 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: in his twenty three seasons in the National Football League. 17 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: He is making his three hundred and thirty first career starts. 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: Trace McSorley his first career starts is remarkable, There's no 19 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: doubt about it. I mean, that is a holy can 20 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: only stat if we've ever seen one. So what exactly 21 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: does that mean? What exactly? I mean, you know what 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: it says. And we've been talking about this that December 23 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: is the new August. That guess what, there's gonna be 24 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: a lot of guys getting a lot of reps, a 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: lot of snaps. Though usually only play in the preseason, 26 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: Cardinals are in that situation. Only Tennessee has played more 27 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: complete players than the Cardinals so far this season. And 28 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: now you're down to your third string quarterback going against 29 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the most legendary player in the history of 30 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: the game, mister Blaine was seven rings. So what exactly 31 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: will this look like? No one exactly is sure. But yeah, 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: look we've talked about it this week. Okay, what do 33 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have to play for? Theoretically nothing, You've been 34 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: eliminated from the playoffs. So now guess what your selfish 35 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: needs actually come back to serve the team, meaning you 36 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: need to play for yourself at this point. You need 37 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: to put the eye in team. You need to put 38 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: good play on film for everyone to see, including potentially 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: a new GM of the Arizona Cardinals. So if everyone 40 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: actually does their job and plays through their capability, brings 41 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: the energy, intensity and urgency, then that's the best thing 42 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: to serve this team. As Cliff Kingsbury said to the 43 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: team recently, there's a recency bias with a lot of 44 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: these gems when they're looking at film because how many 45 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: pending free agents are there? Nearly thirty, close to thirty. 46 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: So guess what, there's going to be a lot of 47 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: turnover when you end up outside the playoff chase looking in, 48 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: there will be turnover. And then this season, I think 49 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: in particular, so do yourself a favor. The gift that 50 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: keeps on giving this holiday season is good game film. 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: And there shouldn't be any lack of motivation. You brought 52 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: up Tom Brady, and you know what, you need two 53 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: hands to think of all the other reasons to play, 54 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: considering the audience that's watching prime time, you know everything 55 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: else involved here. So at the very least, I'm hopeful 56 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: that you're going to get the requisite energy needed to 57 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: compete against Tampa. It was the postgame message from JJ 58 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: Watt after the loss in Denver that was captured on 59 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: Hard knocks, which we saw earlier this week. To your point, Paul, 60 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: be selfish because you're putting yourself first and then hopefully 61 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: that will help the team. Because are you playing for 62 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: a contract? Are you playing for a job. But don't 63 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: get outside of that to where you're doing something beyond 64 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: what your job is supposed to do, because that's when 65 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: mistakes happen. That's when assignments are blown. And then you're 66 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: looking backwards because someone just boat race shift for a 67 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: long gain and that's where this Cardinal's team is at. 68 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, put something positive on film over these last 69 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: three games. For example, trace McSorley himself. Let's go back 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: to the player you cited. If he doesn't have a 71 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: good first half, I wouldn't be shocked to see David 72 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: blow in the second half if you read between the lines. 73 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury told the media, you know, there's a certain 74 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: few things that he wants to see out of Trace McSorley. 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: And if he doesn't, guess what, there's another quarterback who's 76 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: taken some first team reps this week, according to the 77 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: head coach, David Blow. So if he's capable enough in 78 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: the offense to be able to go out there and 79 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: run it. This week on Sunday night, you might just 80 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: see it. If the Cardinals offense is dead in the 81 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: water or the even worse, they're turning the ball over. 82 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Because what is the stat The last three games they're 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,119 Speaker 1: negative six correct, actually last four games they're negative six, 84 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: and they've been outscored. I think thirty five to six 85 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: is the number. So that's the one sure way everybody 86 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: now to get yourself beat in the NFL. Just look 87 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: at Tom Brady. First time he had been eighty nine 88 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: in oh Why, leading by seventeen or more points at 89 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: home in his career, and what happens. He committed turnovers 90 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: on four straight possessions last week in that loss against 91 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. He went pick fumble, fumble, pick, 92 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: and they end up getting blown out in that game 93 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: by a Bengals team that was trailing seventeen nothing in 94 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: the first half. Remember what Kingsbury said to McSorley, protect 95 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: the football. And if we do see another two turnover 96 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: performance in fifteen minutes like we saw in the fourth 97 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: quarter in Denver, maybe we do see someone else at 98 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: quarterback David blow again brand new. But at this point, 99 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: what is going to lead this team back in the 100 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: win column, because this team desperately needs to get that 101 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: good feeling of walking off the field with a W 102 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: and they have not done so. In fact, they have 103 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: not done so at State Farm Stadium since Thursday Night 104 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: football against the New Orleans Saints Paul. That was before Halloween, 105 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: October twentieth. And they're one and six at State Farm 106 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: Stadium this year, and we know how things went last year. 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: In fact, they have lost eleven of the last twelve 108 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: at State Farm Stadium. So yet another reason to play 109 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday night. And if you're Trace McSorley, you heard 110 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: the head coach. It wasn't just turnovers, it's no negative plays. 111 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: It's be astute in your details, how you handle yourself. 112 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: This is something I think you're going to figure out 113 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: right away. And then there's how the quarterback makes the 114 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: rest of the team feel. Meaning when you went from 115 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: Kyler to Colt, you still had a chance because not 116 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: only is Coult capable obviously at this point in his 117 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: career in thirty six and he's seen everything and he's decisive, 118 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: he gets rid of the ball quickly bought. Almost just 119 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: as important is the rest of the locker room beliefs 120 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: in Colt McCoy. So what does that belief level and 121 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: confidence level in a trace McSorley and how does this 122 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: team come out? I think it's a legitimate question because Craig, 123 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, we had zoom out here on recent Cardinal's 124 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: history when the Cardinals went from Kurt Warner to Carson 125 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: Palmer and then Harson Palmer to Kyler Murray in between, 126 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: or a lot of journeyman quarterbacks, and there are a 127 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: lot of games where as soon as you got down 128 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: two scores, game over because the rest of the team 129 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: didn't believe. So what is that now? What's interesting is 130 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: to hear Marcus Brown, Hollywood Brown tell the media, because 131 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: he was teammates with trace McSorley in Baltimore, probably knows 132 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: him better than anyone in that locker room, just how 133 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: confident a trace McSorley is. Here's a guy who won 134 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: three high school state championships. His high school career is 135 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: almost on par with a Kyler Murray. What he did 136 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: in the state of Virginia. Then he went to Penn State, 137 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: big school, big program. I think he was a four 138 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: year starter at Penn State. So he doesn't suffer from 139 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: a lack of confidence, and hopefully, you know, that's something 140 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: that'll rub off on the rest of the team going 141 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: into this game against Tampa, who obviously is playing for 142 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: a playoff spot. And despite no career wins in the 143 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: National Football League, McSorley does have a career victory at 144 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: State Farm Stadium Penn State and the Fiesta Ball a 145 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: few years back, so that confidence level, and we did 146 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: hear teammates discussed that. This week. Head coach Cliff Kingsbury 147 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: brought up mcsorley's confidence level, so that won't be lacking. 148 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: But I liked what Aj Green had to say when 149 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: asked about McSorley and the pressure. AJ's like, there's no pressure, 150 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: just go out and play. And I think if you're McSorley, 151 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: it's not only this week and hopefully the next two 152 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: weeks closing out the season, because this is a first. 153 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: He's never had this opportunity. What do you do with 154 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: that opportunity and what can the receivers do for him? 155 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: You've got to be in the right places at the 156 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: right times. We've seen, you know, you saw the interception 157 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: against Denver was at a miscommunication or a misfire. It 158 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: was more of a miscommunication. You know, the ball went 159 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: one way, the receiver went the other. So you just 160 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: hope if you're the Cardinals, there have been enough reps 161 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: this week to get the receiver's in sync with the quarterback. Yeah, 162 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: you're talking about a Trace McSorley who's never at a 163 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: week of first team reps. So what does that do 164 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: for his game and his confidence? He's gonna have the 165 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: ability to pick his play. We talked to Cliff Kingsbury 166 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: about that on his weekly TV show game Plan. That's 167 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: something that they'll do on a Friday. Okay, which plays? Trace? 168 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: Do you he does it with any quarterback? What are 169 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: the two handfuls of plays that are absolutely your favorite 170 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: you feel most comfortable and confident running. You know, it's 171 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: something obviously he didn't have the ability to do before 172 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: getting his appearance in Denver. After Cole McCoy left with 173 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: a concussion in the third quarter. You're kind of running 174 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: Colts game plan at that point. So we'll see, because 175 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, obviously there wasn't a lot of production or 176 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: points on the board in Denver. How different can I 177 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: look against the Tampa defense coordinated at least by the 178 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: mastermind that is Todd Bowles now their head coach. And 179 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: obviously the Bucks have a lot to play for even 180 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: besides the postseason, because half that staff once about a 181 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: time was a Cardinals assistant coach. Yeah, it's gonna be 182 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: a big family reunion before the game, maybe after the 183 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: game as well. The number of Cardinals assistants now on 184 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: that other sideline and personnel Jason light now the general 185 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Once upon a time 186 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: here what the Arizona Cardinal soul of familiar faces. But 187 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: when you talk about what Trace McSorley is going to 188 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: go up against a Buccaneers defense under head coach Todd Bowles, 189 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: it is a defense. The numbers look great, but the 190 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: last two weeks thirty four plus points. They had allowed 191 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: just over eighteen in weeks one through thirteen. So something 192 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: is off with that Buccaneers defense. Yeah, they're missing a 193 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: lot of players. Via Veta did not play last week, 194 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: Jamal Dean, Antoine Winfield banged up. There are a number 195 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: of key players on that Buccaneers defense that have not 196 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: been on that football field. But still you would expect 197 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: this Buccaneers defense to throw everything at McSorley. And you 198 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: know what, in defense of Tampa's defense, or lack thereof, 199 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: especially in that second half when Joe Burrow had four 200 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: second half touchdown passes. Those Cincinnati touchdown drives win thirteen, 201 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,359 Speaker 1: thirty one, thirteen and thirty nine yards. Because of the turnovers, 202 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: so the quick change did not favor that Tampa defense. 203 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: They had a short field, they got victimized. But there 204 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: were other issues for Todd Bowles after the game, he 205 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: was not happy about several things. Despite all that, there's 206 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: six and eight, two games below five hundred, they still 207 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: have a one game lead in the Wolf of NFC South. 208 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: If they win out, they're in. If they win out, 209 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: then guess what. Tom Brady doesn't suffer the first losing 210 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: season of his football career going all the way back 211 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: to high school. Think about that. So there's a lot 212 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: on the line just for him personally in this one. 213 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: He had a miserable game when he went back home 214 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers in the Bay Area and 215 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: they lost thirty five to seven. And then you saw 216 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: what happened in the second half and the four turnovers. 217 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: So and here's the thing, Craig, you tell me, Look 218 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: at the other quarterbacks who currently are poised to be 219 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: in the postseason in the NFC, they're all unproven in 220 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: the postseason. Even a Kirk Cousins nothing to rave about it. 221 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts yet to have a postseason win. Think of 222 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: those quarterbacks at Daniel Jones writes, so you have a 223 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: brock Purty if Tampa gets to the postseason, look out 224 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: just based on TV twelve. Well, they've had to do 225 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: it the hard way once before as far as working 226 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: their way from that wild card spot. But you're right. 227 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: They went out, they win the NFC South, they're guaranteed 228 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: a home playoff game in the first round. And I'm sorry, 229 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: even though they've struggled offensively, you put Tom Brady on 230 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: that football field with the bright lights, and how much 231 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: different playoff football is than regular season football. It would 232 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: not surprise me one bit if the Buccaneers made a run. Now, 233 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: they got to get through this regular season first, and 234 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: that's been the struggle recently, losing three four and the 235 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: consternation in Tampa Bay. What's wrong with the Buccaneers offense? 236 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: Why can't they get in gear when you have the 237 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: greatest of all time at the quarterback spot. Yeah, you're right. 238 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: When they won their Super Bowl they were a five seed. 239 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Right now they're a four seed. But they've also lost 240 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: the last four road games. Tampa has and so, and 241 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: they can't run the ball. They're dead last in the 242 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: NFL and rushing, which doesn't seem to make a lot 243 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: of sense with Leonard Fournette in the AFC rookie you're 244 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: shod white. But now you get to where they have something. 245 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: And similar with the Cardinals, big time injuries on the 246 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: offensive line. They had losses in the offseason on the 247 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: offensive line. So look, you can have all the weapons 248 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: and skill players you want in the NFL if you 249 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: don't have the offensive line, you know, to establish that 250 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: ground game. And what's interesting is they've actually allowed the 251 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: few of sacks in the NFL. But that's more that's 252 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: more accredit to Brady being able to just get rid 253 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: of the ball and at times being forced to get 254 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: rid of the ball too quickly to his own demise, 255 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: throwing a lot of those interceptions when perhaps he should 256 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: have eaten it and taken the sack or just flat 257 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: thrown it out of bounds. So we'll see, can Vance 258 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: Joseph really bring the heat and try and victimize a 259 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: below average Tampa offensive line and get to Tom Brady. 260 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: Do you risk that you hear Vance Joseph talk about 261 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: he has seen every single coverage. He's like a head coach, 262 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator playing quarterback out in that field. So you know, 263 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: if you are going to bring the numbers, you better 264 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: get to Tom Brady quickly. Put it that way, That's 265 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: what Advance discussed, because you're not going to surprise Brady. 266 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker brought that up. He's seen everything. So what 267 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: he need to do to stop Tom Brady, Well, you 268 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: need to rush him, make him think quicker than he 269 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: already thinks, and that is get rid of the football 270 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: sooner than he wants to. Because Paul, you're right, if 271 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: he does have the time in that pocket to pick 272 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: you apart, perhaps without a Byron Murphy once again, a 273 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: secondary that is really limited in bodies, that's gonna be 274 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: a tough cover against a Mike Evans, a Chris Godwin, 275 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: a Russell Gage. There are weapons that Tom Brady can 276 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: throw to if given time. And even more for the 277 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: Buccaneers this week, there's some good news on that offensive line. 278 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: Right tackle Tristan Worfs told reporters this week that he 279 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: does expect to play. He's missed the past three games 280 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: because of an ankle injury. But if you get him 281 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: now on that offensive line, then all of a sudden, 282 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: Brady doesn't need to worry about the right side because 283 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: he knows he's got a Pro Bowl tackle on that side. 284 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: Think about that. If the Bucks have Tristan Wurs back 285 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals are minus Kelvin Beecham, who through Wednesday 286 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: and Thursday had not practiced, Yeah, that could be a 287 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: huge swing considering those two offensive lines. And you're right, 288 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Julio Jones, who's been up and down, 289 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: very inconsistent. If they can just get a trace of 290 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: a run game, think about it. Tom Brady leads the 291 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: NFL on both completions and pass attempts. Not good because 292 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: you are not balanced. So if they can do something 293 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: and you know what else wasn't good the Cardinals run 294 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: defense in the second half against Denver. We all saw 295 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: that toss play, which the Cardinals coaches figure accounted for 296 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: at least seventy rushing yards or Denver's one sixty eight. 297 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: So that what it was in the game, and all 298 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: of those in the second half, by the way, because 299 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: the Broncos really ran the ball down the Cardinal's throats 300 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: in that second half. Fans Joseph I think mentioned that 301 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: the or just like four passing plays and he was 302 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: able to rattle them off. There was a completion, there 303 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: was an incompletion, there was the interception by Buddha Baker. 304 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: So if you're the Buccaneers, yeah, you are dead last 305 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: and running the football, in fact, there's seventy four point 306 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: three yards per game is a franchise worst. But if 307 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: you look on film, where are the Cardinals susceptible? Especially 308 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: if you want to contain J. J. Watt after a 309 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: three sack performance. You'll run the football. But Tom Brady 310 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: number one in both passing attempts passing completions, number three 311 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: in passing yards. The Buccaneers what they do best is 312 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: throw the football. So what do you do here if 313 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: you're Brady and that rest of that offensive coaching staff, 314 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: because you excel throwing the ball. But the Cardinals defensively 315 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: not very good against the run. So think about it. 316 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: You came out, you were the Denver Broncos, and you 317 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: said The Cardinals are missing their top three cornerbacks. There's 318 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: no Byron Murphy, there's no Marco Wilson, there's no Antonio Hamilton. 319 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: There's some guys out there named Jace Whittaker and Christian 320 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: math Us. Seventh round rookie and for a few snaps 321 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: when needed, Nate Hairston has been called up from the 322 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: practice squad. Guess what here comes, Jerry Judy. We're going 323 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: to go to town with a pass game. One problem 324 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: for Denver they couldn't pass protect. And the Cardinals had 325 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: six sacks in that first half. And I vividly remember 326 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: we're doing the halftime showing Kyle Vannimbosh and I'm asking them, oh, look, 327 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: they ran for more than five yards of carry in 328 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: that first half and they can't pass protect. What are 329 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: the odds? The halftime adjustment is just to run the ball, 330 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: and they did with impunity. And it was that toss play. 331 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: So you know it works in the NFL, Craig, You're 332 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: going to see it till you stop it. So if 333 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: Tampa comes out and they want to neutralize JJ Watt, 334 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: well get him moving laterally, quick tosses left and right, 335 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: young legs of the rookie Rashad White. I could instantly 336 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: see that. Do the Cardinals corners want to tackle Leonard Fournette, 337 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: who's an absolute beast? I still remember we have thirty 338 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: seconds for a quick aside Tyron Matthew telling his story 339 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette when they were growing up in Tyron Matthews 340 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: a few years older than Leonard Fournette in the New 341 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: Orleans area. But d Fournette was so huge for his 342 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: size as a kid, and he's still a massive running back, 343 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: but he was so dominant physically that they were playing 344 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: like twelve year old you know type football, and the 345 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: parents got a petition together to have him kicked out 346 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: of the league, like this kid is a threat to 347 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: the well being of our children. This kid should not 348 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: be allowed to play at the expense of one hundred 349 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: other kids who are gonna get jack stopped by Lanyard Fournette. 350 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: And so that brings you to his NFL career. Funny 351 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: how that works. Oh he ends up in the NFL. Yeah, Cardinals, 352 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: we'll see are they willing to tackle? You know, Buddha 353 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: Baker is going to be out there and he's gonna 354 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: be bringing it. But guess what they account for Buddha 355 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: Baker a lot, and it's funny how many times they 356 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: don't run to buddhast side. It was interesting because Buddha Baker, 357 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: as he addressed the media on Thursday fifth Pro Bowl appearance, 358 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: by the way, that is one more than your broadcast 359 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: partner on Sunday, Ron, So make sure you anytime you 360 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: mentioned Buddha Baker with the tackle, just kind of throw 361 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: that in there as just a little bit more of 362 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: a dig. I'm writing that down. So now it's Adrian Wilson, 363 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: who also wore number twenty four, and Buddha Baker with 364 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: one more Pro Bowl than Ron Wolfley. Gladly, I'll bring 365 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: that up. Baker likes to say he figures out how 366 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: defenses respect his game by how they attack him defensively, 367 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: and he mentioned different types of rules. Those were his words. 368 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: When he's on the field, are they going away from him? 369 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: Are they targeting him? My guess is Tom Brady will 370 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: know exactly where number three is, He'll know exactly where 371 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: number ninety nine is. That's why if you're on that 372 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: defensive line or if you're on that edge, a Marcus Golden, 373 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: my J Sanders, Cameron Thomas. J. J. Watton needs help. 374 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: He can't do it himself. He did it by himself 375 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: in the first half against the Broncos, but then there 376 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: was that halftime adjustment. If there was someone else that 377 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: can step up, either out the defensive line or in 378 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: the secondary to kind of make sure that you don't 379 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: just have to focus on two individuals on that Cardinals defense, 380 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: because I do think last week the Cardinals would have 381 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: handled Lebroncos if there was someone else outside of J. J. Watt, 382 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: whether that was rushing the quarterback or is Avin Collins 383 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: or Isaiah Simmons stopping that run. Didn't happen last week, 384 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: Will it happen this week? You know what? Kelvisa consulting. 385 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: One thing I'd like to see in this game. Thanks 386 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: for asking, Craig My J. Sanders more snaps, please please. 387 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: He only had eleven snaps in this last game. And 388 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: if Cliff Kingsbury is crediting his run defense and he's 389 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: not a liability against the run, then I'm trying to 390 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: figure out why he's not getting more snaps because he's 391 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: known as a very talented or at least potentially talented 392 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: pass rusher. You know, if the Cardinals coaches are wondering. 393 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: We asked my J. Sanders after he was drafted, is 394 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: there one NFL quarterback you would love to get after 395 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: him bring down? And before he even completed the question, 396 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: he said, Tom Brady. He just answered it instantly, So 397 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: you got to figure my J. Sanders is as motivated 398 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: as anyone out on that field Sunday night. I'd love 399 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: to see him play more than half the snaps. Cam Thomas, 400 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: even minus Zach Allen, only had ten snaps in the game. 401 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: I love to see both these third round rookies get 402 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: some more reps down the stretch. They have earned it 403 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: based off what we've heard from the coaches. Now, are 404 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: we being told something versus what we haven't seen by 405 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: the coaches, whether that's in practice or in games. Are 406 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: there too many emmy's if you have mental errors that 407 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: they're not doing what they're supposed to. Because I'm not 408 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: there with you. I want to see those two more 409 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: because when they have been on the field, they've been 410 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: very productive. Yet at the same time, are they a 411 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: liability because yes, us fans, we want to see the 412 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: young players over these last three games, but coaches are 413 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: judged on wins and losses, no matter if you think 414 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: a decision has already been made. At this point in 415 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: the season, coaches want to win and they're gonna play 416 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: whomever they believe can get them that w And there's 417 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: a certain order and the way it works, you know, 418 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: a hierarchy in the locker room. You gotta earn it. 419 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: Because I've hinted as much about some of these rookies 420 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: down this stretch, and Cliff Kingsbury will instantly say they 421 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: got earn it. So to your point, are they doing 422 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: enough behind the scenes to earn those reps? You hope so, 423 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: And we'll see how it evolves in this game. But look, 424 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: there's you know, you have certain areas of this defense. 425 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: We're really undermanned. Obviously the cornerback position. We'll see about 426 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: the status and Antonio Hamilton and Marco Wilson, and then 427 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: the defensive front. After J. J. Watt, it gets thin 428 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: real quick. So a Jonathan Ledbetter got a lot of reps. 429 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: He fared pretty well. Tristan Hill was out there quite 430 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: a bit. You know, we'll see, but the second half 431 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: has not been kind to the Arizona Cardinals over the 432 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: last four games and the last three they've led at 433 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: halftime only to fade in the second half. So is 434 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: this a defense that's getting worn down? What exactly is happening? 435 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: You know, that's something obviously that we're keeping an eye on. 436 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: Is can the Cardinals come and give a full game 437 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: and be there to compete the entirety of four quarters. 438 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: What was the answer that aj Green gave a reporter 439 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: asked this week, what does he want to see out 440 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: of this offense or just the team overall over these 441 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: last three games. Aj Green mentioned one word consistency, because 442 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: we've seen it in flashes, first half, second half, but 443 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: not an entire game, first quarter, third quarter, not all 444 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: four quarters. A drive here or there this team has 445 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: And I'll go back to what we talk about that 446 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: self inflicted, whether it's turnovers, it's penalties. Can you play 447 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: a clean game, especially under the bright lights primetime Sunday 448 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: night football on Christmas Night? Can you get rid of 449 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: whack a mole? Different guys at different times taking their 450 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: turn to make their one error of the game, their 451 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: mental error, missed a sigmon or alignment, and then all 452 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: of a sudden, guess what, the whole game is rife 453 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: with that sort of self inflicted stuff. Can you just 454 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: get rid of that from your vocabulary over the last 455 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: three games? And then I'll add two more words. You know, 456 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: I'll match your quote with a James Conner quote when 457 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: they asked him, what do you hope to gain, you know, 458 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: as a team over these final three games, and James 459 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: Connor thought about it and he said, and I quote 460 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: some respect. I like that answer because in addition just 461 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: playing for yourself and your next contract and putting good 462 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: film out there, Hey, how about just play for some 463 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: respect from your opponent, play hard enough and play a 464 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: clean enough game that a Tom Brady will respect you 465 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: in your game by the time Sunday night and Christmas 466 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: Night is over. So hopefully enough guys buy into that, 467 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: because James Connor has been another voice along with JJ Watt, 468 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: been very vocal in that locker room and this week 469 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: in particular, don't respect Tom Brady too much. Maybe postgame, sure, 470 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: but not during the game because your job is to 471 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: win and win at all costs in between the white lines. 472 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: Because what have we heard all week long? And I'm 473 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: sure this goes with every team that plays Tom Brady. 474 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: There has been a lot of Brady love. This week 475 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: a lot of respect, it's been all well deserved. At 476 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: the same time, does that and all of a sudden 477 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: put you a step or two behind, because all of 478 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: a sudden you're in awe of Tom Brady. Much like 479 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: in the NASH and in the in the NBA was 480 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan Lebron James. You're like, Wow, I'm sharing the court, 481 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm sharing the field with a legend, a living legend, 482 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it just kind of goes 483 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: to your head and you get out of your game. 484 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: That camp happen. Well, how about a JJ Watt? He 485 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: sacked forty seven different quarterbacks in the regular season, but 486 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: never Tom Brady. And I went to our stag guru 487 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: around here in Mike Holme, and I asked him for 488 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: a little further clarification, and he said that in the 489 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: postseason JJ Watt has a half a sack. Twenty twelve 490 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: playoff game Houston against New England, he had half a sack, 491 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: So he to use a round WOLFLEI term. He does 492 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: have some Tom Brady grease on his resume, but not 493 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: during the regular season. So you gotta figure that ninety 494 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: nine sacking TV twelve couple of first ballot Hall of Famers. 495 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: You know, that's good TV on a Sunday night, So 496 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: we'll see. Like you said, you can't have too much 497 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: respect because Brady to me, when you watch him, and 498 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: we watched him against the forty nine ers recently, when 499 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are on the by and you see some 500 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: of the other plays during the course of the season, 501 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of a Peyton Manning in his 502 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: final year or two at Denver. If you get close enough, 503 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: he's either going down or he's getting rid of the ball. 504 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: He has no interest in taking that hit in the pocket. 505 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: And if you are a little bit half second, split 506 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: second too late, that flag will go. Oh yeah. And 507 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: don't dare put your body weight on Tom Brady. You know, 508 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: if you're going down, you better throw those hands up 509 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: or or try and do some sort of push up 510 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: to Brady, you know, to somehow mitigate the fall on 511 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady or else. You know, he's gonna get the 512 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: flag every time. And all those Patriots fans are out 513 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: there still yelling to this day tall me. You know. 514 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: It's how about some of those rumors out there speculating 515 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady's return to New England next year, very 516 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: interesting as to maybe what his future might be doing 517 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: some of the digging around New England's one the Niners 518 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: potentially who knows what's going on with the Niners quarterback position. 519 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: Jimmy g obviously last year his deal Trey Lance. Did 520 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: they see enough to figure they can't count on a 521 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: Trey Lance? Is brock Purty really going to be the 522 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: guy they build around? And then there's also speculation, with 523 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: Derek Carr underwhelming this year, does Tom Brady go back 524 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: and rejoin his long time offensive coordinator in New England 525 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels and the silver and black 526 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: fitting perhaps for Tom Brady. By the way, you mentioned 527 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: brock Purdy. We've seen this going full circle here on 528 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday Proud partner of the 529 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. We've seen a first career starts versus Tom Brady. 530 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: Just three weeks ago, brock Purty made his first career 531 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: starts against Brady, beat Tom Brady and Brady's homecoming soundly. 532 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: Yes it was, it was not pretty and that was 533 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: the game in which and I'm very curious if we 534 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: see it this week It might depend on the outcome, 535 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: what the score is. But how many different forty nine 536 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: Ers players came up to Brady at the end of 537 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: the game, including one that I can't remember his name, 538 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: but literally got an autograph because he picked off Brady 539 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 1: during the game, had the football thing. Yes, Drake Greenlaw 540 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: had a SHARPI with them as well, and still managed 541 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: to not only get a handshake but also get the 542 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: football autograph. I don't know if that's going to happen 543 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday, but there's enough Cardinal players in that locker 544 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: room you brought up my j Sanders that would love 545 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: nothing better to either get that autograph, swap jerseys, or 546 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: if nothing else, get that handshake. I give Tom Brady credit. 547 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: He's better than me in every way, including that way 548 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: that if the guy who picked me off comes up 549 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: and wants an autograph on that football, I'm sorry, I'm 550 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: declining that. You know, it's so good on him to 551 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: be that gracious. You know, it's interesting. A couple of 552 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: takeaways from Hard Knocks this week. Craig, there was the 553 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: sort of the semi serious well d Hop was serious, 554 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: but I think you know vance Joseph took him as 555 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: semi serious that when he offered his services to play 556 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: defensive back in a pinch in Denver, that that was intriguing. Right, 557 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: good stuff with Colt McCoy is our Jim i'm Ndro, 558 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: a former college baseball player, noted Colt's young son as 559 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: a nice swing back there in the whiffleball field. That's 560 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: he does keep an eye on young McCoy. And then 561 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: it's hard not to notice the demeanor and tone from 562 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: owner Michael Bidwell addressing the team and him saying, and 563 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm quoting, I'm as leaping disappointed as everyone else in 564 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: this room. I can see who's really doing it. I 565 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: can also see where people are sometimes cutting corners and 566 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: that really affects your play on Sundays, and he wished 567 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: everyone a happy holiday. But you know, considering the way 568 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: this season is gone, considering how many injuries and how 569 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: many players are in the final year of their contract, 570 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: it's hard not to see a lot of change coming 571 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinal's way in January and beyond. It is going 572 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: to be a fascinating offseason. It begins immediately after the 573 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals play at San Francisco, and then the questions will 574 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: pop up, what happens front office, head coach, coaching staff, 575 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: roster wise. And that's why I think to your point 576 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: on what Michael Bidwell said cutting corners, that's what resonated 577 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: to me when I saw that, in addition to the 578 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: salty language. Because I don't know about you, Paul, but 579 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm not on that same level. Perhaps I don't see 580 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: the owner like that many times. In fact, I can 581 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: count on one hand how many times I have seen 582 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: Michael Bidwell act like that or be that upsets. And 583 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: I'll say this because fans want to know. Yeah, he's 584 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: not frustrated. He's angry, and he has every right to be, 585 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: just like fans have every right to be angry on 586 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: this season that has not lived up to expectations. His 587 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: demeanor and tone said as much as his words. I 588 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: agree with you on that. And look, this is an 589 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: owner who in twenty eighteen eight a long term contract 590 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: on the head coach and most of that coaching staff, 591 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: including the offensive coordinator midseason. So there is a track 592 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: record of making change when change is needed. And this, 593 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, something obviously needs to change coming off this season. 594 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: Who were what it is? I have no idea. I 595 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: don't know where it's going. But just remember, I mean 596 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: we've seen based on the track record, and the best 597 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: indicator of the future is the past. That's sort of 598 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: like in business, if it's not working, fail fast, pull 599 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: the plug. So to me, I don't think the contract 600 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: extensions the offseason automatically guarantee anything. When just a few 601 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: years years ago there was after year one of a 602 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: four year deal with a head coach that exit button 603 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: was hit and the reset button was hit, and so 604 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know if it's going to be 605 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: to that degree this offseason, but I don't think it 606 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: would shock anyone, especially based on and once again you 607 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: saw the tone and demeanor of how dissatisfied ownership is 608 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: right now and roster as well. Josh Rosen only lasted 609 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: one season and the change was made. Now not don't 610 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: don't even don't aggregate this at all, because I'm not 611 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: speculating anything on the current quarterback situation. I'm just saying 612 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: that this franchise is willing to admit its mistakes, in 613 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: your words, Paul Fast mistakes and then try to correct 614 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: them just as quickly. And look at how things change 615 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL year to year. Every single year in 616 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: recent history, you've changed out half the playoff field. It's 617 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: just the way it works. Look at where the Rams 618 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: have gone from Super Bowl champion to where they are now. Well, conversely, 619 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: you can also changed things around quickly. Look at the 620 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: New York Giants this year out of nowhere. So you 621 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: know this doesn't necessarily a two or three year rebuild. 622 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: You know this is still a team that last year 623 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: one eleven games. But again, I'm gonna use Zach Allen 624 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: quote that I come back. I came back to recently, 625 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: and it was something he said last December about this 626 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: time last year. You can't hide behind a ten and 627 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: two start, And I don't know if that continues to 628 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: be a problem. I think it was at the end 629 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: of last season, a team hiding behind what it had accomplished, 630 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: and maybe he had already met expectations in terms of 631 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: a final win total. How much of that played into 632 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: the manner in which they finished last season, I'm not 633 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: exactly sure, but you most certainly can no longer hide 634 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: behind a ten and two start last season. When you've 635 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: lost fifteen of your last twenty, that's the new normal. 636 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: Fifteen or your last twenty have gone in the lost column, 637 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: and to me, that is the only thing that will 638 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: be focused on this offseason card and Buccaneers coming up 639 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: on Christmas Night six twenty is the kickoff one thirty 640 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: pregame coverage begins and Bonus Bird Gang Paul CALVESI on 641 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: play by play with Ron Wolfley and Danny Serek down 642 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: on the sidelines day pass. Who knows what Dave's doing 643 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, but he just did not want to 644 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: be a part of this at all. I say that 645 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: tongue in cheek, but Polly pinch hitter once again, the 646 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: second straight Christmas Day Christmas nights. Let's just up it 647 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: goes better than last year's game against the Indianapolis Colts 648 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: and the year before the one game I filled in 649 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: happened to be the CJ. Bethard forty nine Ers win 650 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: in Weeks sixteen, which was every bit as lackluster and 651 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: lack of energy as a preseason game. So let's hope 652 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: here a knock on wood, that we don't get a 653 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: repeat of that. It's sort of the reverse pass factor 654 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: coming back to bite years. Truly, on some of these 655 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: games where I fill in and I will take poly 656 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: pinch shitter because I'm most definitely not Polly Pash. He 657 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: does he's very very good at what he does, and 658 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: he makes it sound and look very easy, and I'm 659 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: here to prove it isn't. So everyone go easy and 660 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: we'll try and get through this Sunday night game. Broadcaster, extraordinary, 661 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: top five in the business. Dave Pass who has an 662 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: NBA ESPN gig on Christmas Day that is a complication 663 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 1: and prohibits him from attending the Cardinals game. Let's consider 664 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: this the last gift to open up on Christmas. The 665 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals and Buccaneers led by Dave Pash doing something else 666 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: and we've got Paul Calvc and Ron Wilfley on play 667 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: by play and colors should be a lot of fun 668 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: because again, you can say you've done something that Pash 669 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: has never done.
