19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: remember Ron Wilfully, it's not a schedule release. It's a reveal.

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I got that ball.

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 4: Mean, this isn't no stinking press release that gets facts

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 4: to a newspaper, old school I mean, this is three

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 4: days of measured, staggered leaks, international teasers, highly produced, breaking content,

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: I mean, we're talking segments on Good Morning America, two

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: hour shows on the NFL network in ESPN. Okay, it's

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: not as much a release or reveal as much as

27
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 4: it's an event these days in the NFL. I mean,

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: you know, the kids out there might say it's super Extra.

29
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: You know, two hundred and seventy two games over eighteen weeks.

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: Let there be a twenty twenty three campaign. And we

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: are here to break it all down on this edition

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 4: to the Big Red Rage, presented by Santan Ford and Gilbert.

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: We are Santan Ford, Paul Calvic, and Ron Wolfley Paully.

34
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about Super Extra, but I do know

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: right now I've got a question, and that question is

36
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: are the Arizona Cardinals back in the NFC East Ball?

37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: That's my question to you.

38
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: By are you having sort of a throwback right now?

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 4: I mean, Wolf, this is your life. This is what

40
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: happened when you played ten years in the NFL, the

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: first half of your career for the Cardinals, and this

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 4: is what would happen you envelope please and then boom.

43
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 4: You look at the schedule and right off the bat,

44
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: it's like you're playing inter division games with three in

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: a row against the NFC East.

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: It truly is incredible right there. Of course, they are

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: playing the NFC East, as we all know, next year,

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: but starting in Week one at Washington, Week two, the

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: New York Giants at home, Week three, the Dallas Cowboys

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: at home. Yes week seventeen, they actually travel to Philadelphia

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: to play the Philadelphia Eagles. But man, the first three

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: games of the season poly the NFC East.

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: And let's let everyone know right off the bat, guess

Speaker 4: the road. We're gonna break this all down over the

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: course of this show. For the third time in the

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 4: last four years, Cardinals start on the road at Washington.

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: This will be September tenth. Okay, And by the way,

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 4: in terms of travel, only six teams are gonna travel

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 4: more than the Arizona Cardinals this year because they're matched

64
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: up against the NFC East in the AFC North. And

65
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: when you're talking about Washington, I'll just say this much.

66
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: Where's my ridiculous stet of Patrick Mahomes? Remember last year

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: opening against Kansas City and they put the forty burger

68
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: on the board in week one?

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Wolf?

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Patrick Mahomes in five openers in his NFL career

71
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 4: has averaged thirty nine point four points per game. So

72
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: let me ask you, are you much happier to open

73
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: against Sam Howe or maybe Jacoby Brissett Pouli?

74
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: I am, But you know it's also you look at

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: those first three games right there. Those are going to

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: be pretty physical games. They really are. The NFC East

77
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: is a physical division, of course, even Washington where they're

78
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: going to open, of course at Washington on the road

79
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera. You know the kind of offense he wants

80
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: to run. It typically is a very physical offense. Even

81
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: though they're not prolific by any stretch of the imagination.

82
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: Even last year they were almost in the top third

83
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 1: in the National Football League and running the ball paul

84
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: per game, rushing yards per game, they were number twelve.

85
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: They like to hammer the ball. They're going to be

86
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: very very physical upfront. That's going to be a physical game.

87
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: And then you follow that up with the New York Giants, PAULI,

88
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: that that is that's a Donnybruck right there with Brian

89
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 1: Dable as their coach.

90
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: You know what, that is a great point because what

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 4: have the Cardinals done this year? Where's the emphasis been

92
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: on resetting this team from the inside, Right, So right

93
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 4: out of the gate, your run defense is going to

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: be tested against Washington at Washington on the road. And

95
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 4: then think about that commander's defense.

96
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: Right.

97
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 4: They missed the playoffs last year, but they had the

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: number three ranked defense overall, and look at the defensive

99
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 4: front with Jonathan Allen, Deron Payne Montes, sweat Chase Young

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: if he's back from the knee. I mean, you talk

101
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 4: about that Cardinals rebuild offensive line and maybe Paris Johnson

102
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: Junior and more on him in a bit, getting tested

103
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: out of the gates. Oh yeah, is there a deeper

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 4: defensive line in the NFL than Washington.

105
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: No, I know what you're saying, Pauli. They are very,

106
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: very physical, no doubt about it. And oh, by the way,

107
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: they're also really really good at getting to the quarterback

108
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: number six in sacks per attempt, and they had the

109
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: number one third down defense overall. And PAULI, you know

110
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: the way I feel about this for the most part,

111
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: when you talk about being the number one third down defense,

112
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: that takes into account so many different things, not the

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: least of which is getting pressure on the quarterback. And

114
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: although it doesn't show up being number one, getting off

115
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: the field thirty one percent of the time, that tells

116
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: me you've got a wicked pass rush as well.

117
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 4: That's the only ten AM start all season long for

118
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals. The other games in the Eastern time

119
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 4: Zone are eleven AM or later. And by the way,

120
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 4: the Cardinals did not get a primetime game. That was

121
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: pretty much as expected. They will be playing on some holidays.

122
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 4: We'll get to that. That will not be an international

123
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: game on the schedule this year for the Cardinals after

124
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: they went to Mexico City last year, but once again

125
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: Week one at Washington. Then you're home against the Giants,

126
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 4: so you're gonna get All Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence,

127
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: who got paid in the offseason against that Cardinals offensive line.

128
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: We know the Giants. They just made the playoffs for

129
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 4: the first time since twenty sixteen, bead Minnesota in the

130
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: wild card game, so okay, we know that they have

131
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: two tackles. You know, they invested top ten and picks

132
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 4: in and that's a long time rivalry. Would be the

133
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty ninth meeting all time against the

134
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: Giants for the Cardinals as a franchise. And then that

135
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: brings us to Week three, Wolf and the Cowboys, and look,

136
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: Cardinals have had success. They won six to last seven

137
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: against Dallas. But you're talking about a Cowboys team that

138
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 4: finished twelve and five last year, won a playoff game

139
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: the lost in the Niners. And they can score. I

140
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: mean they've averaged the most points over the last two

141
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: years of any team in the NFL, nearly thirty a game.

142
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Not only that, they got a guy by the

143
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: name of Michael Persons on defense who is pretty good, Paul,

144
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: especially the last time I check coming off the edge

145
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: right there. Week three, This is just me, Paul. And

146
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: once again you know me, PAULI. I'm an optimist. I

147
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: will be an optimist sign positive by nature. Week three

148
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: is when I will allow myself to consider Kyler Murray

149
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: coming back bye week by week three, now, PAULI.

150
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: So are you reporting? Is this a guy?

151
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: I reporting?

152
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: No?

153
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: I am not reporting this, Okay, I'm just saying, based

154
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: on the average time, the typical time that an ACL

155
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: will take nine months is about right there, about week

156
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: three that you could possibly start counting. Okay, is he

157
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: ready to go? Okay? Maybe not week four, week five,

158
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: week six, somewhere in there. Maybe that's better. But week

159
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: three is where I will allow myself, who knows, Paully,

160
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: maybe it comes earlier than that. But this is where

161
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to allow myself to even imagine Kyler Murray

162
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: coming back week three, And it's interesting that it happens

163
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: to be against Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys. So

164
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: maybe it will be week four.

165
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: Paul, And look, you know that's game. That game is

166
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: gonna be off the hook the Cowboys fans, they travel.

167
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so that will be a scene at Cardinals,

168
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: you know, State Farm Stadium when the Cowboys come a

169
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 4: call in there. That'll be September twenty fourth for the Cardinals,

170
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 4: and that'll be on Fox, and that'll be a one

171
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 4: twenty five start. Then you start getting into the NFC

172
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: West three or your next four are division games starting

173
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: with Week four at the forty nine ers. Cardinals historically

174
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: have had a lot of success at Levi stadium and

175
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: they're going in against the Niners. And then you want

176
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: to talk about pass rushers. You got Washington's deep defensive front,

177
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: you got Dexter Lawrence and the Giants, you got Micah

178
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: Parson's head against the Cowboys, and then hello, Cardinals offensive line.

179
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 4: You get Nick Bosa and Javon Hargrave in week four.

180
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, PAULI, maybe it's not gonna be Week four that

181
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: Kyle will come back. Maybe maybe it's gonna be Week five,

182
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: Paul against the Cincinnati Bengals right there, when I think

183
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: of Nick Bosa coming off the edge, you might want

184
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: to know I'm just kind of kidding obviously right here.

185
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, it's interesting because when you look

186
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: at the first five games, and we were talking about this, Paula,

187
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: I believe there's four playoff teams.

188
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: Yes, it's only Washington in those first five games. Think

189
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 4: about that, and then I mean, the Bengals win the

190
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: conference championship, the Niners win the conference championship, and the

191
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 4: Giants and Cowboys won playoff games as well.

192
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: And you know me, Paully, that's the first thing I

193
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: look for when the schedule comes out. The schedule comes out,

194
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: I look for the nasty, as I like to call it,

195
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: Where is the nasty? And if you had to look

196
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: at it, those three or four games that are really

197
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: really physical and really really going to be tough, you

198
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: look at it, it's week two to week five for

199
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: me right now. Those four teams playoff teams right there.

200
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: When you consider Washington, the Giants, the Cowboys at San Francisco,

201
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: and the Bengals. Four of those playoff teams consecutively. And

202
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: I realize three of the four games are going to

203
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: be at home. But other than that, man, that is brutal.

204
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: You know, we mentioned Paris Johnson Junior when we had

205
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 4: him on the Red Sea Report recently right after the draft.

206
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: He mentioned that he's already been doing film study on

207
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: a few pass rushers, few of the elite guys in

208
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: the NFL and a couple of the names he mentioned,

209
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 4: Nick Bosa and Micah Parsons, and he just talked about

210
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: how much he looks forward to measuring himself in his

211
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 4: game against the very best in the NFL. He also

212
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 4: threw in Devin White. I'm not sure exactly why the

213
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: Tampa linebacker got into the mix as well, but Paris

214
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 4: Johnson Junior so that was very intriguing stuff that he

215
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: had to say on the Red Sea Report. And I

216
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: don't know if you noticed it, Wolf, but Paris Johnson

217
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 4: Junior was in attendance for the Cardinals with the rookie

218
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 4: minichamp getting going this week the end of this week,

219
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 4: and he showed up to sign his contract along with

220
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 4: a handful of the rookies, and he was wearing a

221
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 4: Pat Tillman number forty Cardinals jersey.

222
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: That's well played, really well well played right there. You

223
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: know what, Paul, it's interesting. I know this means nothing,

224
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: and I want to make that very very clear to

225
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: anybody that is listening. It means nothing. But looking at

226
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals depth chart, I thought it was very

227
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: very interesting that they're at left guard. Was Paris Johnson

228
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: Junior the starter, Paris Johnson Junior at left guard, And

229
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: for me, that's exactly where i'd put him. The left

230
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: guard traditionally gets more help than the right guard and

231
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: traditionally gives more help than the right guard as well.

232
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: To me, that's exactly where i'd put this young guy.

233
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Let him cut his teeth right there. Obviously, at some

234
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: point in time, you'd like to move him out to

235
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: the edge. But I thought that was interesting since you

236
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: brought him up that he's starting at left guard on

237
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: the depth chart.

238
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 4: I wonder if that sets up a positional battle again

239
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: between Josh Jones and Kelvin Beecham at right tackle. Interesting

240
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 4: because we'll see what the trickle down is on that.

241
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 4: By the way, Cardinals among the teams who had their

242
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 4: schedules released. The Super Bowl where it's gonna end up

243
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 4: will be February eleventh, twenty twenty four, in Vegas this year.

246
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:08,359
Speaker 5: Burrow takes a knee and it's over. The winning continues

247
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 5: for Cincinnati. The Bengals are going back to the AFC

248
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 5: Championship Game. They have won ten in a row, and

249
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: they will make an appearance in the conference championship for

250
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 5: consecutive years for the first time in franchise history twenty

251
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 5: seven to ten.

252
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: The final here in Orchard Park, New York.

253
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, think about some of the quarterbacks that are coming

254
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: through State Farms Stadium this season, including Joey b Wolf,

255
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. I tell you what you talk about players

256
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 4: that opposing players that I'm most looking forward to see.

257
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: He would have to be top two, top three. There's

258
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: the Lamar Jackson's, there's Joe Burrow, and honestly, that might

259
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 4: be where I start my list as we go through

260
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 4: the Cardinals schedule twenty twenty three on this special edition

267
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 4: the season home against the Giants and Cowboys at the

268
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: forty nine ers and back home against Cincinnati and Week five.

269
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 4: What do you think of when you think of the Bengals.

270
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paulie, you think obviously of Joe Burrow. You think

271
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: of this young quarterback who is becoming quickly one of

272
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: the elite quarterbacks in the National Football League. Has been

273
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: on that track, I would say for the last year particularly.

274
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: And I think of the line of scrimmage as well,

275
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: even though they don't run the ball very well. Even

276
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: though they're not a good rushing team. They really want

277
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: to round that part of their offense out because I

278
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: think it really does help balance Joe Burrow doesn't put

279
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: all of that pressure on him. He was under the

280
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: gun last year. Now they've done some things this offseason

281
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: to really try to fix that offensive line, but as

282
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, Paully, that offensive line struggled to protect Joe

283
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: Burrow once again. And when I also think of the Bengals,

284
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I think of that defensive front, I think of their

285
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: ability to stop the run. That is the one thing

286
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: they were actually very very good at last year. Defensively,

287
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: they were all over the board for the most part,

288
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: but the one thing they could hang their hat on

289
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: is playing tough against the run. In that box. They

290
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: were top ten as a matter of fact in rushing

291
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: yards per game and rushing yards per play allowed.

292
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 4: You also have the lou Anarumo angle right, Cardinals head

293
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 4: coaching candidate, the defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals. That'll

294
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 4: be an intriguing little sidebar when they come in Week five.

295
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: The two time AFC Nord champions, And once again we've

296
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 4: been documenting the test the Cardinals old line is going

297
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: to get early. You look at a Cincinnati team that

298
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: over the last few years is added Trey Hendrickson, Sam

299
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: Hubbard and now the Clemson rookie Miles Murphy. So you know,

300
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 4: lou Anroumo, he's going to be very aggressive, he's going

301
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: to bring it, and so that'll be a big time test,

302
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 4: and that'll be the fourth of four in a row

303
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: against teams who made the playoffs a year ago.

304
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pauli, that's really a good point right there. Once again,

305
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: they're going back to the Bengals specifically that had a

306
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: really really hard time of getting to the quarterback, which

307
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: is one of the reasons why they've made it a

308
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: point of emphasis here. Number twenty nine in sacks per

309
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: attempt last season and number twenty in third down defense

310
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: as well. This is just general stats, but you can

311
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: read inside some of these stats as well, and that's

312
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: something that I think is going to be a point

313
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: of emphasis for the Bengals, trying to get better, get

314
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: more pressure on the opposing quarterback.

315
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and going full circle on the Bengals, remember the

316
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: at an Orlando Brown the Chiefs tackle and so yes,

317
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 4: that was huge. As to your point, they're trying to

318
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: bolster the line of scrimmage. No doubt, Joe Mixon is

319
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 4: always handful to stop.

320
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: All right.

321
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 4: Week six, now you're getting into back into the NFC West.

322
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 4: You're going to the Rams where the Cardinals one year ago,

323
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: and they're gonna get them in week six, October fifteenth,

324
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: against what they presume will be a healthy Matthew Stafford.

325
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 4: Hopefully it'll be a healthy Kyler Murray at that point.

326
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: But look again, now you're getting Aaron Donald, all right,

327
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 4: They're minus Jalen Ramsey. But I mean every single week

328
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 4: there is gonna be that elite thread on the other

329
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: side of the ball.

330
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, you know, I look at that LA game

331
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: in LA, of course, and all I can think of

332
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: is Paris Johnson Junior. If he is starting at left

333
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: guard at that point in time, I think he's gonna

334
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: see a lot of Aaron Donald lined up over in. Paul.

335
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say that right now. I think are

336
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and line them up there. I

337
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: know the Arizona Cardinals, of course, are going to be

338
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: very aware of that. I'm sure they're going to give

339
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: him a lot of help with the protections that they're

340
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: going to run and mixing up their protections, but not

341
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: trying to put him on an island, of course, trying

342
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: to give him an awful lot of help. The Rams,

343
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure, will try to isolate him as much as

344
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: they can. But sometimes, Polly, it's the best thing that

345
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: can happen to a young guy. It's just trial by fire.

346
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: Just walk through it, jump into it. And he certainly

347
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: certainly will be jumping into it at that point of

348
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: week six.

349
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 4: And by the way, the Cardinals will definitely welcome that

350
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: short road trip to La because once again there's seventh

351
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 4: in the NFL in total travel miles this year number

352
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 4: one Seattle thirty one thousand plus miles, number two, the

353
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: Niners thirty thousand plus miles. The Rams actually are fourth,

354
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 4: and the Cardinals are seventh twenty five thousand miles. Ron

355
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: Wilfoo this year, as a Cardinals analyst, you will be

356
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: changing time zones twenty six different times, so just to

357
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 4: let you know over this travel schedule, and that's the

358
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: way it works. And by the way, the strength of

359
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: schedule was calculated and the Cardinals came in number eleven,

360
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 4: So there are different factors at play here and look historically,

361
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: and here it is five of the last six teams

362
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 4: with the most difficult schedule in the league missed the playoffs.

363
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 4: That was the Rams a year ago, Paul.

364
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: See, and that is the thing I was going to

365
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: say right there, when you say that strength of schedule,

366
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: I understand, Yeah, it's you know, it's relevant. Yet at

367
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: the same time we all know this is the National

368
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: Football League, man. Is it not a year to year proposition? Paul?

369
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: Is it not a year to year proposition? You can

370
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: see a team go from worse to first and vice

371
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: versa as well. We see it all the time.

372
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 4: Here here's that stat. Well, at least one team in

373
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 4: the NFL has gone from worse to first meaning worst

374
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 4: in its division, to winning its division. In eighteen of

375
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: the last twenty years, at least one team has done that,

376
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 4: and at least two teams have won their divisions this

377
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 4: season after missing the playoffs in nineteen of the last

378
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: twenty years. Goodness, So that's how much turnover there is.

379
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 4: And then here's the other one. Since nineteen ninety, we're

380
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 4: talking thirty three straight seasons, at least four different teams

381
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 4: have qualified for the playoffs every single year, meaning they

382
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 4: weren't in the postseason. The year before last year there

383
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 4: were six new playoff teams, and in twenty one and

384
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 4: twenty there were seven new playoff teams.

385
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: So wow, I mean, will you send me those pulling

386
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. That is well played by you. So there

387
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: you go.

388
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 4: You got the Rams in week six and you're going

389
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: to Seattle in week seven. Look, Seattle was a playoff team.

390
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 4: They seem to be ascending. They seemingly got another draft haul.

391
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: What do you think of when you think of the

392
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 4: Seahawks these days, because they have really reset their identity

393
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 4: in the last two years.

394
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have. And once again, Paully, I think based

395
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: on their draft and based on what it is they're

396
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: trying to do, I see the Seattle Seahawks again trying

397
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: to restore the line of scrimmage and a Pete Carroll

398
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: kind of way. I think that's what they're trying to do.

399
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: They want to re reset, if you will, that roster

400
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: in that depth chart and do it on the line

401
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Very similar to what I think the Arizona

402
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals are doing.

403
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 4: They had a big discussion NFL Network pick a team

404
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 4: that was sort of middle of the pack around five hundred.

405
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 4: That's gonna have a breakout year, win twelve thirteen, fourteen games,

406
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: and a couple of the analysts went with Seattle. M Okay,

407
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 4: here's the thing, though, Wolf, if you can't stop the run,

408
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: and they didn't add a lot to their defensive front,

409
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 4: and they weren't in the draft able to add much

410
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 4: in terms of an edge rusher, and they started last

411
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 4: year historically bad against the run, and they ended last

412
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 4: year not so good against the run. I just I

413
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 4: wonder about their defensive front.

414
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, it's a great place to start again with

415
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks because they look so different last year.

416
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: Now we know in the first half of the season

417
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: they were absolutely on fire with Geno Smith, of course,

418
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: but you know, well, we're going to have to see

419
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: I know this, Paul, I know Pete Carroll. I know

420
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: people that know him personally. This is a guy that

421
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: believes in old school football. This is a guy that

422
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: still believes the line of scrimmage is where this game

423
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: starts offensively and defensively. And I wouldn't be surprised to

424
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: see them be pretty good, especially when you got Geno

425
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: Smith as your quarterback, right now.

426
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 4: All right, so you go out to the Rams to Seattle,

427
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 4: then you come home week eight, October twenty ninth at

428
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: home against the Ravens and Lamar Jackson and Wolf. If

429
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 4: you asked me to think about Kyler's career so far,

430
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: one of the standout games, at least to me being

431
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 4: on the sideline, was watching Kyler against Lamar Jackson week

432
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: two of his rookie season twenty nineteen. Man, I hope

433
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 4: that matchup materializes because that is great stuff. Kyler against Lamar.

434
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: No, that really is PAULI. There's no doubt about that.

435
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: When I think of the Ravens, I think of one

436
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: of the most physical teams still in the National Football

437
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: League right now. John Harbaugh is one of these guys

438
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: we're just talking about Pete Carroll. He's got that old

439
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: world mentality, that old traditional mentality. I think John Harbaugh

440
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: doubles down on that. I think he's a guy that

441
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: covets physicality. Dare I say, demands physicality from his players.

442
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why the Baltimore Ravens were

443
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: number two and number three in rushing yards per game

444
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: and rushing yards per play respectively. Again, I get it.

445
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: A lot of that is because of Lamar Jackson, but

446
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: if you go and watch tape on the Baltimore Ravens,

447
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: a lot of that is also because they come off

448
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: the ball and they hammer.

449
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 4: You, and you know what, some of that and you

450
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: bring it up. It is a real legit, genuine curiosity

451
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 4: because they're going away from Greg Roman and they brought

452
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 4: in Todd Monk, the offensive coordinator from Georgia and those

453
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: championship teams the last couple of years. So all right,

454
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 4: you know, to what degree are they still going to

455
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 4: be that team? Will they really embrace that They brought

456
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: in Odell Beckham junior, they drafted into the first round

457
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 4: rookie receiver Za Flowers. Bateman is going to be healthy

458
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 4: this year, they hope. So with Mark Andrews, I mean,

459
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: do you think maybe Lamar starts airing it out some more.

460
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: I think there's a possibility that he does, Paul, But

461
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: keep in mind, Lamar Jackson has never thrown for more

462
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: than thirty two hundred yards in a season. Never done it. Wow,

463
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: thirty two hundred yards.

464
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 4: And you're talking about the twenty nineteen NFL MVP at quarterback.

465
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right. So to me, once again. Yeah, you

00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 4: It's true. Hey, Cardinals tickets on sale right now Asycardinals

470
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 4: red Rage presented by santan Ford in Gilbert Buda Baker.

471
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: Somebody been getting hand on Budda Baker, who.

472
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: To Baker's a fan.

473
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: Put to Baker ban man, Huda Baker's a bad after.

474
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: Watson. That's a running and hitting everything.

475
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 4: That's exactly why my opinion, Ron Wolfley, Buddha Baker isn't

476
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 4: going anywhere, because when all time great NFL head coaches

477
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 4: like Mike Tomlin who are miked up on the sideline,

478
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 4: that's a real clip from a real game from him

479
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: looking up at the jumbo tron, the video board and

480
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: just raving about the play of Buddha Baker and all

481
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 4: pro safety. That's exactly why I firmly believe he's still

482
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: very much in the future of the Arizona Cardinals. It

483
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: is a big red rage presented by San tan Ford

484
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 4: and Gilbert Paul Calvic Ron Wolfley in the twenty twenty

485
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 4: three schedule. It is out. We are breaking it down.

486
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: Cardinals are going to Pittsburgh, where a Wolf will reunite

487
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 4: with his counterpart on the Steelers radio network is Big

488
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 4: Brother and Steelers Analysts. We'll get to that Wolf, but

489
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 4: let's start with where we left off. Baltimore at home,

490
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: which leads us to another of your former teams, the

491
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns. Cardinals going to Cleveland on November fifth, Week nine.

492
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paully, can I just go a little bit bigger

493
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: than the four games that we got right now? I

494
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: just want to point this out. I always loved a

495
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: little home away, home away, home away action. I always

496
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: love that. Why would that be well, just because it

497
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: was a nice rhythm. It was a nice flow right

498
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: home away, home away. I like that for me, and

499
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: I know that some of my teammates loved it as well.

500
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: I look at week eight the Baltimore Ravens home, then

501
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: at Cleveland and then home against Atlanta, then at Houston

502
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: and then home against the Rams, and then at Pittsburgh

503
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: and then the bye man when you go, that's a

504
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: nice little rhythm right there, from Week eight all the

505
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: way to the bye which is week fourteen, and I

506
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 1: know we're going to talk about that, but when you

507
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: think big picture, that's a home away rhythm right there.

508
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: And I really really like that at Cleveland, that's going

509
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: to be a physical game, especially coming off playing the

510
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens at home the week before, because you know,

511
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns like to run the ball, attack the

512
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage with Nick Chubb, and that's one of

513
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: the reasons why Drew Petsing is.

514
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 4: Here, no doubt, there's no and you know what, when

515
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: you talk about this schedule, you got to talk about

516
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 4: the fact, you know, a rhythm. There aren't going to

517
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: be any night games. These are there's no primetime game,

518
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 4: so okay, they're gonna get in the rhythm of playing

519
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 4: you know, midday kickoffs and then uh, you know, these

520
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 4: are all going to be Sunday games except for the

521
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: very end of the year, this season finale against Seattle

522
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 4: at home. It could be a Saturday, could be a

523
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 4: Sunday game. So you know, if if these players love

524
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 4: are creatures have a wolf and they love that, then

525
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 4: guess what they're gonna get a lot of that. This

526
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: isn't gonna be a lot of always sometimes you're going

527
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 4: to a four day week. Sometimes you're getting ten days

528
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 4: after a Thursday night international. That was last season, that

529
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 4: is not this season schedule, Yeah, Paul.

530
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: And then when we look at Week nine and week

531
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: ten at Cleveland, of course, in Week nine and then

532
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons week ten, those two teams in particular

533
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: and this little stretch that we're looking at right now,

534
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: those two teams were very, very good in terms of

535
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: running the ball. I consider them this is just me.

536
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: I consider them to be elite teams rushing the football. Obviously,

537
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: the Browns and what they do with Chubb, and then

538
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: you look at the Atlanta Falcons and the way they

539
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: ran the ball. I'm very interested to see if there's

540
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: any resemblance whatsoever to the Atlanta Falcons with the Arizona

541
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals in their offense, because the Falcons loved to move

542
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: their quarterback around. They love to put them under center,

543
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: put them in the gun, put them in the pistol,

544
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: use all of it. And they ran the ball at

545
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: an elite level last year.

546
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: And we saw it. We saw the last four games

547
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 4: of the year when Desmond Ritter went two and two

548
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 4: when he took over as a starting quarterback, the third

549
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: round rookie out of since they're sticking with him as

550
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: the guy. So to your point, not only did they

551
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 4: emphasize the run, but look what they just invested in

552
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 4: the draft. They took Bijon Robinson out of Texas, that

553
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: all world running back. He's the first top ten running

554
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 4: back selected since Saquon Barkley. So they're all in on

555
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 4: the run game. They're all in on getting him weapons.

556
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 4: Think of the last two years before that when they

557
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: went Drake London, the receiver out of USC and then

558
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 4: Kyle Pitts. They've been getting him weapons. In the top ten.

559
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: I mean, they're coming in trying to bolster that offense.

560
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know they're trying to do that. There's a

561
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of teams right now, Paul that are trying to

562
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: hit the reset button again. I think the New Age

563
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: offense came into the National Football League four or five

564
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: years ago, and there was no doubt about it. Everyone

565
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: was jumping on board, everybody especially I think the Atlanta

566
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: Falcons were the last team to actually get on board

567
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: with a quarterback that was gonna be in the shotgun

568
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: a vast majority of the time and that we're going

569
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: to run some of his own reads that had Matt

570
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: Ryan before that, Paul, stop and think about it. So

571
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons why they were dragging their

572
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: feet on that New Age offense. But I think, Paulie,

573
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: it's starting to come back once again. You've heard me

574
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: talk about this in the Pass, Paul, but it's the truth.

575
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: I think it's really all a blot all about a

576
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: blending of the old and the new right now in

577
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: the National Football League, and I think the Falcons are

578
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: a spearhead team on that.

579
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 4: By the way, you know who's coming in with the Falcons,

580
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 4: our old pal Kalais Campbell.

581
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, former player.

582
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: Host here of the Big Red Race for many years.

583
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 4: He's going to turn thirty seven this season. Yeah, he's

584
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: coming in with the Falcons. So there you go. All right,

585
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: Week eleven, you're back on the road at Houston, and

586
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 4: that'll be interesting, right because it'll be Paris Johnson Junior

587
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 4: against Will Anderson potentially, and then the whole aspect of

588
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 4: the Cardinals and Texans doing business on Draft Day and

589
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 4: the Cardinals the Texans draft pick in the first round

590
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 4: in next year's drafts. So what do you think of

591
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 4: when you think of a Texans team that you figure

592
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 4: is going to be playing the rookie CJ.

593
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: Stroud. Yeah, this is a team that has got to

594
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: get a lot more physical. Very much like the Arizona Cardinals.

595
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans have got to get a lot more physical.

596
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: They were horrible. There's no other way to say it.

597
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: They were horrible on the defensive side of the ball

598
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: last year. Offensively as well. They've got to be able

599
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: to run the ball. It's something they could not do.

600
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: They could not control the line of scrimmage last year,

601
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: very similar to the Arizona Cardinals. And what happened to

602
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals and the breakdown of the Cardinals came

603
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: that they could not control the line of scrimmage. That's

604
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: my opinion, Paul. They really struggled to do that on

605
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: both sides. The Houston Texans were right there with the

606
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals as a team that struggled to control the

607
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on bull sides. And PAULI, if you

608
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: don't have that, this is the amazing thing. This is

609
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: the amazing truth about the game of football. Even in

610
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty three of our Lord Paul, if

611
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: you don't control the line of scrimmage, your skill will

612
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: not have the opportunity to go out and do what they.

613
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 4: Do, no doubt. Then you come home and get the Rams.

614
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 4: November twenty six And we like pointing this out that

615
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 4: the Rams went five to twelve last year, which qualifies

616
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 4: as the worst season by a defending Super Bowl champ

617
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 4: in NFL history.

618
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: And there it is, Paul the whole worst of first

619
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: at first, the worst.

620
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: It's like to throw that in his little jab. So

621
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 4: we already talked about the Rams. Let's go to week thirteen.

622
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 4: It's always a marquee road trip, especially for you personally.

623
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 4: You're going to Pittsburgh. Your brother is their analyst as well.

624
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 4: You know, longtime stealer. And you know what, it's been

625
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: a long time since they won a playoff game by

626
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: Steelers standards, twoenty sixteen, last time they won a playoff game.

627
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 4: And then you got the Cardinals ol line against that front,

628
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 4: including TJ. Watt.

629
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, TJ Watt, he's pretty good. That defense, of course,

630
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: being a little facetious right there, that defense is the

631
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: strength of this team. He got Kenny Pickett, who's going

632
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: to be in his second year, the quarterback of course

633
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: they drafted last year to replace Ben Roethlisberger. Kenny Pickett

634
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: is a guy that is coming along nicely. My brother

635
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: Craig says many, many good things about him. He really

636
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: thinks he's going to be a player. He thinks he's

637
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: going to be a player, just the way Ben Roethlisberger

638
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: was a player for how long almost two decades for

639
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. He thinks Kenny Pickett has got the

640
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: right stuff as well.

641
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about Big Ben or the fact this

642
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 4: is a rematch of Super Bowl forty three. I'm not

643
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 4: talking about that. I will point out that Kenny Pickett

644
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 4: does have Najee Harris right right at running backs. He's

645
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 4: a load. And then they drafted a franchise tackle and

646
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 4: Broderick Jones out of Georgia. They right ahead of the

647
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 4: Cardinals in round two. They got Joey Porter Junior at corner.

648
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: And then they got your guy, Wolf Darnell Washington, the

649
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: massive mountain of a tight end six seven, two sixty five.

650
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: Paul, When you think of those three guys you just

651
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: mentioned right there, what does that say to you? It's

652
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: a mentality, is it not?

653
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 5: Pauly?

654
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: That is it is a cherishing of physical football players.

655
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 4: That big men win football games, and all of those

656
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 4: guys are massive dudes for their positions.

657
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: I would just say physical physical, I'll give you away.

658
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: We have football games, right yep.

659
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 4: And then by the way, Week fourteen, the bye week,

660
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: which is the latest season in a season ever for

661
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 4: the Cardinals, tied with nineteen ninety one. So think about that, right,

662
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 4: Your bye week is in week fourteen. And then down

663
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 4: the stretch you come. And this is where my prayers

664
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 4: were not answered by the schedule gods, as your sideline

665
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 4: reporter outside in the climate. We'll get to that next.

666
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 4: A reminder, you can buy your tickets for Cardinals games

667
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 4: at home this year azycardinals dot com slash buy tickets.

668
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 4: As we continue with a big red rage presented by

669
00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 4: santan Ford and Gilbert.

670
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: Fourth and two on the Bear's twenty back to throw goes,

671
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 3: Kyler looks right, throws a deep ball right side and

672
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 3: the end zone. Pennant's pot hits a touchdown touchdown DeAndre

673
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 3: Hopkins Kyler Murray with the dime. On four down, Murray

674
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 3: takes the shotgun snap straight, dropped back, flushed out of

675
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 3: the pocket, rolling right, being chased, he talks. He runs

676
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 3: at the five and he heads to the corner and

677
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 3: he's into the end zone. Four the touchdown, Kyler back

678
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: will throw fires right side, want to catch it at twenty,

679
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 3: runs right to the ten of the five into the

680
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: end zone. Four of the touchdown, James Connor stabbing a

681
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: ball that was an errant pass. It looked like it

682
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 3: was going to go over his head. He grabbed it

683
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 3: with his left hand and then he ran down the

684
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: right sideline into the end zone. Four the touchdown, snap

685
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: to Murray, he keeps it again, runs right, he's at

686
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 3: the five, and he walks into the end zone. Four

687
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 3: his second rushing touchdown, and the Cardinals just put the

688
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 3: Bears away.

689
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 4: Bad weather in Chicago, Yes, yes, I'm here to verify that.

690
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: Was it a factor for the Cardinals. No, they went in,

691
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: they got a win. They were prolific on offense. You're

692
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 4: a couple of rushing touchdowns are ridiculous. One hand a

693
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 4: grab on four down by d Hop and then an

694
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: even more ridiculous catch and run by James Connor that

695
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 4: I have the sideline running with them all the way

696
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: to the end zone. So we bring that up because

697
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 4: the Cardinals are going to Chicago on Christmas Eve. Ron

698
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 4: Willefully get ready maybe to do some Christmas shopping, all

699
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 4: the downtown lights in the Windy City. You'll be at

700
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 4: Soldier Field December twenty fourth for a nice afternoon affair

701
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 4: against the Chicago Bears.

702
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: PAULI you know what I was thinking about too, is

703
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: I looked at this last section, of course of the

704
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: schedule for the Cardinals Christmas Eve in Chicago and New

705
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: Year's Eve in Philadelphia. Yeah, Paul, I mean there's a

706
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: lot of people who think, boy, that must be great.

707
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve in Chicago, the Windy City, and then there

708
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: you are in Philadelphia on New Year's Eve. Yeah, it

709
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: does sound really really good unless you're the sideline reporter.

710
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: Isn't that right, Paul?

711
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: For Father's Day, I'm asking for new boots. I'm just

712
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 4: telling you that right now I need a few extra layers.

713
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: You're ready for this season?

714
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

715
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 4: My prayers with the schedule, gods were not answered. When

716
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 4: you see some of these late season games open air

717
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 4: stadiums on the East Coast or Midwest Chicago and Philadelphia.

718
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 4: But this final stretch, let's pick up coming out of

719
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: the by as the Cardinals will have the forty nine

720
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 4: ers and that will be in week fifteen. That'll be

721
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 4: at home, and we're talking about a Niners team that

722
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 4: will bring in Nick Bosoon, Javon Hargrave. We'll see exactly

723
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 4: what the quarterback situation is. They're sticking with brock Party.

724
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 4: I mean, Mike Kyle Shanahan, he doubled down on that

725
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 4: just this week that Brock Party is the future of

726
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 4: the quarterback spot for the forty nine ers.

727
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: Ron mostly, Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me, Polly,

728
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: it really does. This is a guy that is very,

729
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: very proficient once you put him in a bounce offense,

730
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: and that was the one thing that I think we

731
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: saw last year and that's what the forty nine ers are.

732
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: It's still their beating hard Paly, it really is. I

733
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: know that you know the defense, of course, and rightfully so,

734
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: it gets an awful lot of the attention when you

735
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: talk about the forty nine ers because of their incredible

736
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: front seven. They're incredible pass rush led by Nick Boso.

737
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: Of course, defensively they are a nightmare and can be

738
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: a nightmare. But it's still about their top ten rushing

739
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: offense and that's exactly the kind of offense they need

740
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: to put Brock Party in and they're going to do

741
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: that Paully. They're going to attack the line of scrimmage,

742
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: They're going to do it in a north south way.

743
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: They're also going to attack the edges as well. That's

744
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: something Kyle Shanahan loves to do. Maybe move Brock Purty

745
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, roll them out some half rolls as well.

746
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: But the forty nine ers are a physical team still,

747
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: I think the most physical team in the NFC West, and.

748
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 4: They're the benchmark you measure yourself against in this division.

749
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 4: Not only swept the Cardinals last year, They've won three

750
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 4: straight against Seattle, including the playoff game. They've won eight

751
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 4: in a row against the Rams in the regular season,

752
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 4: So the Niners have been dominating recently. Then you go

753
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 4: to Chicago. We talked about that. We didn't talk about

754
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 4: how the Bears defense finished dead last year ago with

755
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 4: only twenty sacks justin fields though, and yeah, he was

756
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 4: sacked fifty five times, most in the NFL along with

757
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson. They're trying to bolster that offensive line. But

758
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 4: it looks like a lot of people, including the NFL

759
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 4: schedule makers are in on the Bears. They believe the

760
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 4: Bears are about to take a step with Justin Fields.

761
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 4: Are you a believer?

762
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paully. You know, it's very similar almost to Jalen

763
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: Hurts and going into last season, the narrative that was

764
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 1: surrounding Jalen Hurts, PAULI it was it was a question

765
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: Poe Mark, Jalen Hurts right going into the season is

766
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: well and whether or not he was going to be

767
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: the guy. Now he showed flashes of the year before

768
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: last of course, no doubt a that, but there was

769
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: a serious conversation that was going on in Philadelphia in

770
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: regard to Jalen Hurts and whether or not he was

771
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: the right guy, the guy you were going to build

772
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: your team around. Well, he went out and last year

773
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: he put that narrative to bed. That's not going to

774
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: be around for any time soon. I think Justin Fields

775
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: has the exact same opportunity. There are similarities that are

776
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: there right now. Now. Last year they had a hard

777
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: time throwing the ball, and Justin Fields would be the

778
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: first one to tell you that number thirty two in

779
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: passing yards per game, Paul, number thirty two, would you

780
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: say that's bad. Yeah, that is bad.

781
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 4: You need to be more balanced than that.

782
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Yes, they had only one hundred and thirty yards passing

783
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: per game, one hundred and thirty per day. Bad. I mean,

784
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: that's that's for Rolf right there, that's Trent Dilfer stuff

785
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: with the Baltimore Ravens.

786
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 4: Again, he got sacked fifty five times. So we'll see

787
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 4: if they can figure that out. Speaking of Jalen Hurts,

788
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 4: the Cardinals in week seventeen, go to Philly. That'll be

789
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 4: New Year's Eve, that'll be December thirty first. My thinking here,

790
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 4: Wolf is if Eagles fans are still hot at JG,

791
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 4: they're giving them seven more months to simmer down. Now, Okay,

792
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 4: They're stending this Cardinals Eagles game all the way until

793
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 4: December thirty first, and then we'll see. Look, I'm just

794
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 4: gonna tell you in two thousand and eight, the Cardinals

795
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 4: played a Thanksgiving night game at Philadelphia, and that was

796
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 4: the most lubricated crowd I've ever seen in the NFL,

797
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 4: firsthand from the sideline because they weren't working the next day.

798
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 4: So I showed her to think what Eagles fans are

799
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 4: going to be like when they have New Year's Day off.

800
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, PAULI bring your helmet. Okay, bring your helmet.

801
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: You might want to put that thing on right there, Paul.

802
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: Isn't it weird? Though? There it is Week sixteen in

803
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: Week seventeen at Chicago at Philadelphia. One is Christmas Eve,

804
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: the others the other is New Year's Eve, as you said,

805
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: And it's Justin Fields and Jalen Hurts. Two very similar

806
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks when it when you consider their skill set, and

807
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: yet on two completely diff different planes. And yet, just

808
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: like we were talking about Jalen Hurts and the narrative

809
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: surrounding him, could this be the year that it goes

810
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: away for Justin Fields as well? What if he leads

811
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, that team that can run the ball

812
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: number one in rushing yards per game and rushing yards

813
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: per play, They attack the line of scrimmints, and Justin Fields,

814
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: of course, is right in the center of all of that,

815
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: very much like Jalen Hurts was the year before last.

816
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: The similarities are stunning to me. And yet here it

817
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: is back to back Week sixteen in Week seventeen at

818
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: Chicago at Philadelphia. That's going to be an interesting conversation

819
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: over the Holidays.

820
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 4: Yep, Kyler against those two guys as the quarterback matchup,

821
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 4: and then Kyler against Geno Smith for the second time

822
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 4: in the season. As for the second time in three years.

823
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 4: They end the season with the Seahawks at home, So

824
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 4: that's where the Cardinals will wrap up the regular season.

825
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 4: And we know how much the Cardinals love to win

826
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 4: at Seattle, and they've done a lot of that in

827
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 4: the last decade, and Seattle's returned the favor here in

828
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 4: the az.

829
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, of Seattle. It's gonna be interesting to see what

830
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: the condition will be at the Seattle Seahawks at that

831
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: point in time. Right there. I'm a huge Geno Smith fan.

832
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: It's West Virginia, West Virginia, you know, Paul, Hey, Okay.

833
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 4: He's on a glorified one year deal. I think he's

834
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 4: still to a certain degree in a prove it season

835
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 4: for Gino Smith.

836
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: Very very interesting, PAULI, That's what I was going to

837
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: say that there he is on this this one year

838
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: contract that he signed up there. Yeah, we're gonna pay

839
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: you if, in fact, you can put out, and I

840
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: think Geno Smith is going to be able to put out,

841
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna have a conundrum. They're gonna

842
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: have to sign him to a long term contract or

843
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: let him go.

844
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 4: By the way, some of the marquee happenings, well, the

845
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 4: NFL opener, by the way, is September seventh, the annual

846
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 4: Thursday night game with Kansas City hosting Detroit. They put

847
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 4: the Lions into that slot. That was very interesting. And

848
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 4: then the Monday Night football opener the Jets. Get ready

849
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 4: for the Jets. And by the way, the Jets had

850
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 4: not hosted been in a Sunday night game since twenty twelve.

851
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 4: They start the season on Monday Night, one of many

Speaker 4: in prime time and they're hosting Buffalo. So that's Aaron Rodgers'

853
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 4: debut against the Bills and Josh Allen Paul.

854

Speaker 1: Do you think that might be a game right there home?

855
