8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,800

9

00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Here's Craiggriolou Allclavic and nine year NFL veteran Rob Frederickson.

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 4: So this is when you know things have slowed down

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: considerably when it comes to free agency. The mock drafts

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 4: are back in the last week Daniel jar three point oh,

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: mel kiper Junior three point zero, and this morning Field

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 4: Yates releasing a two round mock draft because Paul, who

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: doesn't like to mock the mock drafts your favorite time

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 4: of the.

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 5: Year, Well, it's a silly season. Yeah, we're getting there.

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 5: It's thirty days in counting. I saw the Steelers tweeted

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 5: it out thirty days till the NFL Draft is in

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 5: the burg and they're going to suspend classes for two

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 5: days because her traffic issues. Yeah online, I mean, okay,

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 5: all right, I mean I'm into football as much as

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 5: the next guy, but all right, But that's the way

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 5: it works in Western PA. Priorities and among other things.

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 5: In addition to two point zero three point zero, Charles

31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 5: Davis has two point one. Now we're getting into decimal points.

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 5: We're modifying these things to the nth degree, apparently. And

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 5: it would add and this is predictable because how many

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 5: times over the last ten years, here comes the late

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 5: rising quarterback in the sam name of Mitchell Trubisky, Trey Lance,

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson, Zach Wilson, now it's Ty Simpson. Here he

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 5: comes with a late charge. It's like in horse racing,

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 5: right and down the stretch he comes. There's always that

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 5: last late charging quarterback running up the board, and it's.

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 4: Only gonna get louder, regardless if it's quarterback or running

41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: back or inside linebacker. Hey, safety as well. Can you

42
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: invest a top five pick in a safety? Rob, So, Yeah,

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: this is, as Paul likes to say, the silly season,

44
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: but it does provide great contents when you're waiting for

45
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: April to arrive, specifically when the Arizona Cardinals are on

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 4: the clock.

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, now I'm hearing various pundits. Now Ty Simpson is

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 6: better than Fernando Bendoza. You know, if he was two

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 6: inches taller, he would be, you know, the next Peyton Manning.

50
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 6: You know, you're right, it's a silly season, and you

51
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 6: know this draft class is is a little weird, just

52
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 6: how it's breaking out, just in terms of like the

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 6: position groups that are shining, like running back and safety.

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 6: As you mentioned, those are non traditional spots or positions

55
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 6: that are not valued as high in the draft, right,

56
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 6: but yet these are like where you find the best

57
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 6: overall players are in those positions. So it'll be interesting

58
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 6: to see how it all unfolds on draft day.

59
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: Jeremiah Love is considered by many to be the best

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: overall prospect regardless of position. Yet the running back position

61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: is not, to your point, Rob, valued as highly as

62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: maybe as it once was. It's quarterback, tackle, edge rusher.

63
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: Yet those three positions maybe aren't the three most talented

64
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: positions as far as individuals are concerned. Wide receiver is

65
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: another position group, Paul, that we don't hear a lot abouts. Yes,

66
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: there'll be players selected within the top ten, but everyone

67
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: wants to talk about the top of the draft, and

68
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: it's non traditional positions that are making the most noise.

69
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: So it's Jeremiah Love the best news to come along

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: for the Arizona Cardinals this draft. By that, I mean

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: not that they're going to actually select Jeremiah Love, but

72
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 5: does another team view him as a must have final

73
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: piece that is separating them from a Lombardi Trophy? You know,

74
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 5: Mike Evans, that's what he said about the forty nine

75
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 5: ers when he signed with the forty nine ers. The

76
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 5: Niners are one piece away and quote, I believe I'm

77
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 5: that piece. Okay, So is there a team out there

78
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 5: who thinks Jeremiah Love is the next Saquon Barkley Bjeon

79
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: Robinson and you.

80
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 6: Gotta have him.

81
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: Well, guess what you better get ahead of Tennessee because

82
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 5: Vegas says the betting favorite to take Jeremiah Love would

83
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 5: be the Tennessee Titans at four. Maybe Mantiasaport starts feeling

84
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: a lot of calls at number three, teams want Jeremiah Love,

85
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 5: and that's a win win.

86
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: Almost fourteen hundred rushing yards, eighteen rushing touchdowns plus three

87
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 4: receiving touchdowns. That's what Jeremiah Love did this past season

88
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 4: for Notre Dame overall, though, as you look at the

89
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six NFL Draft, as I mentioned Daniel Jeremiah

90
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: last week releasing his three point zero mock draft NFL Network,

91
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: we had a chance to catch up with him during

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: the scouting combine in February on Cardinals Cover two, and

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: the question was simple to Daniel, what is the strength

94
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: of this year's draft class?

95
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 5: Probably pass rush.

96
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 7: To be honest with you, I think it's a really

97
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 7: really deep group of pass rushers, and there's a collection

98
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 7: of guys that are top ten players. Then there's a

99
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 7: collection of mid to late first rounders, and we go

100
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 7: through each of the first four rounds where there's these

101
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 7: little clumps of guys that I think all have a

102
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 7: chance to make an impact. And when you look at

103
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 7: how the teams are winning at the highest level right now,

104
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 7: it's the Eagles didn't have anybody with ten sacks, but

105
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 7: they had a wave of pass rushers win a Super

106
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 7: Bowl Seattle, nobody with ten sacks, wave of pass rushers

107
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 7: win a Super Bowl. So I think to build out

108
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 7: your pass rush, you're gonna really like this draft.

109
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: It is a copycat league. So you look at the

110
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 4: two most recent Super Bowl win as Daniel just mentioned there,

111
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 4: they don't have one individual pass rusher, but they bring

112
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 4: several different pass rushers. The Cardinals have one and Josh

113
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: what but do they have another one on the other side,

114
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: rob do they have that wave of pass rushers. They've

115
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 4: got bodies in that room, but anyone that stands out,

116
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 4: and perhaps with that third over pick, the Cardinals are

117
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: looking at a David Bailey or Ruben bin Junior or

118
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: Rvel Reese. Those are the names tied when you talk

119
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 4: about edge rusher at the top of this year's draft class.

120
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you look at the edge rush position

121
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 6: opposite of Josh Sweat and last year for the Arizona

122
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 6: Cardinals combined I think accounted for five sacks. So that's

123
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 6: just not the production that you need from that position.

124
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 6: And it's vital right to put pressure on the quarterback

125
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 6: to affect the quarterback helps everybody helps, the secondary, helps

126
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 6: the safeties and the corners and the linebackers. So that's

127
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 6: a position of imminent need. And you look at this

128
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 6: draft and what potentially could be there at pick three

129
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 6: for the Arizona Cardinals. You got David Bailey from Texas Tech,

130
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 6: Rubin Bain. Obviously, there's been a lot of chatter, a

131
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 6: lot of talk about Ruben Bain from Miami and Rvel

132
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: Reese from Ohio State, who also can play that off

133
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 6: the ball linebacker. There's a little, you know, a bit

134
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 6: there with the Cardinals at recency that we've had in

135
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 6: terms of those hybrid type players that a lot of

136
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 6: Cardinal fans want to forget and flush that down to toilet.

137
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 6: But I do not think you can put r VL

138
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 6: Reese in that class and not take him if he's

139
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 6: available at that position, because he is that good.

140
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, he could be the next Micah Parsons. MICHAEH. Parsons

141
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 5: is that hybrid sort of player who can be anywhere

142
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: along the front seven. And we've seen Dallas did it,

143
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 5: Green Bay did it against the Cardinals. You know, Micah Parsons,

144
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 5: Where's he going to show up on the next snap?

145
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: And they did a really good job of putting him

146
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 5: inside quite a bit, and then some of the chip blocks

147
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 5: and the extra attention on the edges, and boom he'd

148
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 5: show up on the right side, left side. So rvel

149
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 5: Rees could be that guy. Most are going to tell

150
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: you he's much closer to Michael Parsons than an Isaiah Simmons,

151
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: a man without a position. Yet it does give you

152
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: a little bit of apprehension. There's some PTSD, you know,

153
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 5: the Hassan Reddicks of the world, even Zavian Collins, who's

154
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 5: bounced back and forth. So what does that mean? Do

155
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: you feel much more comfortable if a David Bailey is

156
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 5: there at number three? I will say this as far

157
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 5: as the edge rush goes. Nfl dot Com posted a

158
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 5: story this morning, the five Biggest Draft needs every team

159
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 5: one through thirty two for the Cardinals in order a QB. Yes,

160
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 5: there's a QB question. O line edges number three than

161
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 5: D line and linebacker and I didn't quite realize the

162
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 5: stat They cited that the Cardinals mustard eight sacks as

163
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: a team over the final six games of last season.

164
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 5: Because Josh Sweat was getting more attention than ever the

165
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: second half of last season. He told Danny Surrekin to

166
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: sit down interview. I'm getting chipped into oblivion. You need

167
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: to make offensive fronts pay when they're devoting all that

168
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 5: extra attention to Josh Sweat.

169
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: And that's what melkiper Junior wrote when he drafted or

170
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: when he mocked rvel Reese the Cardinals in his latest

171
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 4: mock that Sweat needs a running mate and Reese has

172
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: the instincts and burst to get home on the QB.

173
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: Phil Yates in his two round mock this morning, had

174
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 4: rvel Reese calling him a unique defensive player playing a

175
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 4: hybrid position. Yes, but good length, explosive athletic rates, and

176
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 4: a major upside of the Cardinals keep him at edge rusher. Now,

177
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: as Paul likes to say, it's get to the quarterback,

178
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: protect the quarterback. So the latter part of that protect

179
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 4: the quarterback, offensive tackle something right now, the Cardinals have

180
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: a major need ad on the right side of the

181
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. Is that a possibility now all of

182
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: a sudden with that third overall pick and another Miami

183
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: product Francis Mauinoa strongly connected to the Cardinals at number three.

184
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just I like malanoa. I just don't love

185
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 6: him at three. Pick three. I think this is a

186
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 6: player that everybody has kind of placed him in terms

187
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 6: of overall grades in this draft in around the ten

188
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 6: to twelve range. And so if the Cardinals love him,

189
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 6: covet him, find a trade partner maybe to come up

190
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 6: to get the running back from Notre Dame. If they

191
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 6: can trade back and get Maunoa. Love that, But I

192
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 6: don't love it at three. I think that's a stretch.

193
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 6: I would I would prefer to see them go with

194
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 6: the edge, one of the edge guys at three, if

195
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 6: that's that's where they're going to stay.

196
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: Forty one career starts for mal Younoa allowed just two

197
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 4: sacks four quarterback hits all of last season.

198
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you can somehow trade out of three get

199
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 5: to this second half of the top ten, Mauioa would

200
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 5: be great. Spencer Fanel they've obviously done a lot of

201
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 5: work on. According to reports, this Monroe freeling left tackle

202
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 5: for Georgia six seven, three point fifteen. He's all over

203
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 5: the first round. Some have them in the top ten,

204
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 5: some have them in the bottom five. Not sure what

205
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 5: to make, no idea what the Cardinals might think of

206
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 5: him as a potential option. But you know, if you're

207
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 5: telling me, if you stick and pick where you are

208
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 5: and you go edge rusher at number three, top round two,

209
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: you get the tackle. Because it is that deep, there's

210
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 5: going to be a tackle. Might not be the elite tier,

211
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 5: but that secondary tier, a top round two, and then

212
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 5: I don't know, you find a starting caliber right guard

213
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 5: a top round three. I mean you're talking, you're still

214
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 5: taking three players in the top sixty six of this draft.

215
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 5: It is very possible, plausible, feasible that you go edge

216
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 5: right tackle, starting right guard with your first three picks.

217
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 5: Now there's gonna be competition. Elijah Wilkinson starts seventeen games

218
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 5: for Atlanta last year at right tackle. I get it,

219
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 5: Isaiah Adams and John Gains are ready to ball at

220
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 5: right guard and compete for that spot. But if that's

221
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 5: where the Cardinals end up position wise, I would not

222
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 5: be shocked. In other words, this entire us, there is

223
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 5: no consensus. And right now, when you're looking at this

224
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 5: draft overall the athletics, Dan Brugler does a great job

225
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: dissecting the draft. He joined US in Indianapolis at the

226
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 5: scouting combine and he talked about the theme of the

227
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six draft.

228
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 8: We get caught up so much in upside of potential

229
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 8: and you know, chasing what guys could be, especially at

230
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 8: premium positions. But I think this draft especially is going

231
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 8: to be about just draft good football players. And I

232
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 8: think this draft is really about less about chasing, you know,

233
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 8: who could be the next Miles Garrett or who could

234
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 8: be the next Justin Jefferson. It's more about, let's draft

235
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 8: good football players, even if it's not a premium position,

236
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 8: even if maybe it's more we're betting more on the

237
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 8: floor than the ceiling.

238
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 4: That's okay, Ken. The Cardinals afford though, to do that

239
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: at a non premium position, with where they're at in

240
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: their process.

241
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: Yes, sunny stuff, Yes, I'm sorry.

242
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: Right, I was waiting. I was kind of waiting here.

243
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: Inside linebacker was gonna get brought up.

244
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 6: Well, you know, off the ball, linebackers are cooked. They

245
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 6: should be coveted, Paul, I mean, yeah, that's.

246
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,119
Speaker 4: Does it matter? He went to Ohio State, Robbie, Okay.

247
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 6: With that, it's better than that other.

248
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's Eric Edholm three point zero and

249
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: I lose track. NFL dot Com the most recent mock draft.

250
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: Guess what talk about late Risers, not just ty Simpsons.

251
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 5: Sunny Styles going number five in some of these mock drafts.

252
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 5: So he's been moving up the board once again. If

253
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 5: you're getting the next Fred Warner, Luke Keighley, Patrick Willis, Yes,

254
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 5: he's worth the number three pick. Overall eighty two tackles,

255
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 5: a sack, six tackles for loss, one interception, three passes defense,

256
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 5: and a force fumble. Yeah, that was Sunny Styles last

257
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 5: season for Ohio State. We turned our attention to the

258
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 5: offense post free agency. Next is the Cardinals Red Sea

259
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 5: report here on the Arizona Cardinals radio network.

260
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 9: Were Falcons running back to another Aljeer reach an agreement

261
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 9: today with the Arizona Cardinals up the.

262
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 10: Cardinals Marginals is a new floor operation out there.

263
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: That is quite a tough back deal.

264
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 11: When you've got news Connor coming up the injury and

265
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 11: Tyler Algier, who runs hard. That's a pretty good combination

266
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 11: of the Arizona Cardinals out in the desert with their

267
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 11: new head coach Michael Floor Altier seeking the end zone.

268
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: Handy Polding falls in.

269
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: For the touchdown enough to Tyler Algier the power back

270
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: he mustles through and puttings into the end zone that

271
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: Alchier is trying to slice the tous he's dishing ou here.

272
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: The first move a free agency at least first reported

273
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: move when the negotiating period opened up on that Monday

274
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 4: ahead the new league year, the Cardinals agreeing to terms,

275
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 4: ultimately signing Tyler Algier to a two year, twelve plus

276
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: million dollar contract, eight million of which is guaranteed, and

277
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 4: he joins as you heard there amongst the montage or

278
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: a running back room that does have James Connor, Trey Benson,

279
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: and of course don't forget about Bam Knights and Corey

280
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 4: Connor who we saw late last season for the Arizona Cardinals.

281
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: As we say welcome back. It is a Cardinals red

282
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 4: Sea report. Craig Reiolupaul Calvc and Rob Frederickson looking at

283
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 4: this offense overall and focusing on Aljier, Rob as you

284
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: kind of look at what Mike LaForte might want to

285
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 4: do offensively if the first move post his hire is, hey,

286
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 4: I want a running back from the Atlanta Falcons who

287
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: potentially could be my RB one, but I see something

288
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: in him that potentially could be a benefit to our

289
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 4: war offense here in Arizona.

290
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, the biggest benefit of Tyler Algier is he doesn't

291
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 6: fumble the football. It's nearly seven hundred carries and no fumbles.

292
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 6: So to me, that's that's a huge, huge asterisk for him.

293
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 6: I mean something that that really you can you can

294
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 6: build on and know that when he's out on the field,

295
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 6: it's ball security. He runs hard, right, He's he's a

296
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 6: he's a player that you know, he's starter quality, he's

297
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 6: starter calibers just you know, unfortunately in Atlanta he wasn't

298
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 6: getting those reps. But I look for him to to

299
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 6: really thrive in this offense, especially if it's going to

300
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 6: be predicated around the run game, multiple tight ends, which

301
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 6: we think is what it's going to be. This This

302
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 6: could be a great offense for Tyler l Jaier, you know.

303
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: And I just looked it up. Housekeeping in luxury hotels

304
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 5: offers turndown service, turndown service. I think it's something Greg

305
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 5: Dortsch used when dB start turning down these tackles. We

306
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 5: I can't believe I'm saying this. We need like a

307
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 5: new analytic this year. I want to see the rate

308
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 5: at which defensive backs are turning down tackles in the

309
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 5: fourth quarter against James Connor and Tyler Algier.

310
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 6: Because business decisions.

311
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I just think, I mean, you

312
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 5: heard the highlight right there, muscles and powers and pinballs,

313
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 5: and I mean this is going to be a fierce

314
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 5: I mean a fierce rushing attack. If they can fix

315
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 5: the offensive line. They have a pair of running backs.

316
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 5: Wolf's old saying, you get enough dogs, even the cats

317
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 5: start barking. Then what about Trey Benson. He has the size,

318
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 5: he has the speed, and for the middle of his

319
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 5: rookie year, he had the mentality to look for dudes

320
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 5: to run over and run through. Oh you're gonna you're

321
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 5: gonna stick that arm out there, that arm tackle link

322
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 5: gonna work. And so I really expect these two guys.

323
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 5: And then you know how competitive James Connor is and

324
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 5: Tyler Algier appears to be, saying cut from the same cloth.

325
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna push each other and it's gonna

326
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 5: be really entertaining to see how they're going to continually

327
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: fall forward and pick up a couple of those extra

328
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 5: dirty yards with every carry.

329
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 4: Had one of his better games last season against the

330
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 4: Cardinals up and that was seventy nine rushing yards and

331
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 4: a touchdown, but that was against the Cardinals. Now with

332
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 4: the Cardinals, Tyler Algier on now teaming up with a

333
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 4: new head coach and Mike lafloor.

334
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 9: E, decided about the opportunity. I think obviously we've seen

335
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 9: how successful the Rams are, so being able to have

336
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 9: coach Laflora here and she being able to possibly possibly

337
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 9: replicate it, I think that's the goal. I think they're

338
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 9: bringing in a lot of guys to build that, so

339
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 9: I think just building a team just to get some wins.

340
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 9: So I think that's the most important thing.

341
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: That was part of a larger conversation you and I

342
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 4: had Paul with Tyler Algier as part of Cardinals cover too.

343
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: You could check the Archivesorazycardinals dot com to hear the

344
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: full interview. But overall, now post free agency, fifteen new faces,

345
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: nine of which have come on the offensive side of

346
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 4: the ball, a start contrast to a year ago at

347
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: this time when a lot of focus and attention was

348
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 4: on defense. But you talk about the addition of Tyler

349
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 4: Algier wide receiver Kendrick a new face but not unfamiliar

350
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: with new head coach Michae Lafleur. As you're looking for

351
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 4: tie ins and guys who might be a little bit

352
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: ahead of the game when you're talking about the offense

353
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: and what laflor likes.

354
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 5: To do, and Kendrick Bourne knows better than anyone that

355
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 5: Mike Lafleur values a balanced offense. Hence you're seeing this commitment,

356
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 5: this investment into the run game. No one had fewer

357
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 5: rushing attempts last year than the Arizona Cardinals, and a

358
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 5: lot of that had to do with games getting sideways

359
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 5: the second half of the season. You gotta play catchup,

360
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 5: you gotta go to the air. You're so banged up

361
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 5: on the offensive line. Thirteen different offensive linemen by the

362
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 5: end of the season, eight different starting offensive line combinations,

363
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 5: down to your fifth and sixth running backs. So knock

364
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 5: on wood, everyone stays healthy. I think you're gonna see

365
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 5: a totally new identity versus last year. It's gonna be

366
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 5: much closer to their twenty three to twenty four whereas

367
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 5: a run first offense. And then you're gonna make teams

368
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 5: pay with a trio of receiving weapons. Obviously the best

369
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 5: receiving tip and in the game, along with Michael Wilson

370
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 5: and Marvin Harrison Junior but again, I fully expect this

371
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 5: to be a very balanced offense. Just the history with

372
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 5: Kyle Shannan and Sean McVay says as much because when

373
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: you look at the numbers they do, those are two

374
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 5: head coaches and play callers who value the run game.

375
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: Before we get your thoughts here, Rob on Kendrick Bourne

376
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 4: and what we potentially could be looking at with this

377
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 4: laflor offense, how about we hear from the man himself,

378
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 4: Kendrick Bourne on his special connection with Mike Lafleur, who

379
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 4: was his position coach as a rookie in San Francisco.

380
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 12: Mike would get me prepared. He would meet with me extra, like, Hey,

381
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 12: I need you to be ready when you're going in

382
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 12: the game. So we'd meet about twenty minutes extra before

383
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 12: the game. As a young guy, who's what I needed.

384
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 12: Sometimes I hated doing it. I mean, I just want

385
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 12: to go play. Mike just let me go play. But

386
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 12: he knew that he was preparing me. Giving me that

387
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 12: extra twenty minutes allowed me to maximize in the game.

388
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 12: And so what I loved about Mike is he that's

389
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 12: what he did. If pressure didn't feel so heavy when

390
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 12: I was going in on third down as a young guy,

391
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 12: I'm getting the ball. I kind of going, I know

392
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 12: I'm getting the ball and I need to make this play,

393
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 12: keep us on the field, and I just had confidence

394
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 12: And it was all because of Mike.

395
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 4: That's going back twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. Now

396
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 4: almost a decade later, these two are reunited, and I

397
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 4: think it the special connection that they have also, I

398
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: think can translate into the locker room onto the football

399
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: field as a potential extension of the head coach. Now

400
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: you've got someone who knows what the head coach is,

401
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 4: thinking what he wants and can help everyone else, not

402
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 4: just in the wide receiver room.

403
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 11: Yeah.

404
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 6: And you could hear the excitement in Kendrick Bourne's press

405
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 6: conference there. You could hear how fired up he was.

406
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 6: People might say, oh, well, yeah, because he just got paid. No,

407
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 6: this was genuine. He was excited about being reunited with

408
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 6: Michael Lafleur in the opportunity, the potential to be a

409
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 6: big part in this offense. And you know, you could

410
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 6: hear it in his voice and I think he does

411
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 6: have a place in this offense. He will have the

412
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 6: ability to to make some plays. Uh, in the receiving game.

413
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 6: But but you know, obviously there's going to be a

414
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 6: role in blocking. There's going to be uh, you know,

415
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 6: just there's going to be a role for him in

416
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 6: this offense more than anything as as a leader. He's

417
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 6: going to be He's going to be looked upon to

418
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 6: be a leader in this locker room. And I think

419
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 6: it was a great pickup for the Arizona Cardinals.

420
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 5: Rob For everyone who's not familiar, how vital is it

421
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 5: that the receivers are involved in the run game, that

422
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 5: the receivers are actually viable threats to lay a block,

423
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 5: get a body on someone and spring a running back.

424
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 6: Yeah. I remember a couple of years ago, Michael Wilson

425
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 6: said one of his best games. I think it was

426
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 6: against Carolina. I don't think he even had a reception

427
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 6: or maybe one one, yeah, but he had. He said

428
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 6: he had his best game because of just the blocks

429
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 6: and and what he was able to do to help

430
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 6: spring that running back to the second and third level.

431
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 6: It's vital that you have wide receivers that buy in

432
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 6: to the concept of blocking, and you know, if the

433
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 6: coaches have to hold them accountable as well if they're

434
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 6: not blocking, if they're diva. If they're if they're you know,

435
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 6: not getting involved in the run game, you got to

436
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 6: set them on a bench. But I don't see that

437
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 6: this group as it's presently constructed, has any any players

438
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 6: like that. They they all are bought in. And when

439
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 6: you do that, if you can get past the first wave, right,

440
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 6: the offensive line's got to do their job. But if

441
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 6: you can get to that second wave linebackers, safeties and

442
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 6: those those running those wide receivers are making their blocks,

443
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 6: that's when you have big explosive plays.

444
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 4: You both have brought it up the offensive line. Four

445
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 4: of the nine additions offensively have come on the offensive line.

446
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: A year ago there were just two free agent editions

447
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: plus a draft pick. So again, what does this offensive

448
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 4: line look like? You know, left tackle in Paris Johnson Junior,

449
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: you know left guard and Isaac Samalo, you know center

450
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 4: yell to froll which you don't quite know. I can

451
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: certainly ride in pencil, But but who's the right guard.

452
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 4: Who's the right tackle. There are guys in the room

453
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: right now, but I don't know if anyone has definitively said, hey,

454
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 4: I'm the guy, at least as we speak here mid

455
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: March and.

456
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 5: You picked up some mid tier free agents who have

457
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 5: starting experience at both guard and tackle. So if you

458
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 5: had to go play a game today and you're looking

459
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 5: at the depth chart, okay, you do have answers, which

460
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 5: is half the battle between now and the draft. Can't

461
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 5: have any glaring holes. You can't have any glaring tells.

462
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 5: Someone will trade up in front of you and get

463
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 5: the guy or the position that you're targeting. So right now,

464
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 5: if you had to go play, it's Elijah Wilkinson and

465
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 5: you be're right, and then boom you figure out right guard.

466
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 5: But they've signed a couple of free agents who could

467
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 5: give a run to Isaiah Adams and John Gains as well,

468
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 5: guys who have been there and done that and have

469
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 5: started dozens of games in the NFL. So who knows,

470
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 5: Maybe someone offers you a bounty for number three and

471
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 5: you're not going to get Francis Malenoa. You don't know

472
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 5: what's going to happen on draft in particular, so you're

473
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 5: equipped accordingly just in case.

474
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 4: I think that's an excellent point, because you don't want

475
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: to have to go into the draft to try and

476
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 4: fill a need because you have no idea how that

477
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 4: board is going to fall when you are on the clock.

478
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 4: So yes, can you make improvements come draft day? Absolutely,

479
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 4: But right now the Cardinals could offensively field an eleven

480
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 4: man team.

481
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely. And guys like Matt Pryor that they picked up.

482
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 6: He's almost like a Kelvin Beacham. You know, he can

483
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 6: go up and down that offensive line and plug in

484
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 6: and fill in where he needs to.

485
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 5: And you have no idea. Ultimately, you think you know,

486
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 5: but you don't know until they get into the building.

487
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 5: How NFL ready? Someone is DJ Humphries, once upon a

488
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 5: time first round pick. He needed that red shirt year

489
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 5: to mature. He ended up being a franchise left tackle,

490
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 5: but it took him a full year.

Speaker 3: Take away, Mac play action of boots to the left

498
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: for Jones looking downfield, going and what a pick at

499
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 3: the thirty five yard line by Mac Wilson incredible play

500
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: by Mac Wilson to read that.

501
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 13: Oh my god, Oh my god, Mike Bo, you powered up.

502
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 4: Mac Wilson, senior at Indianapolis miked up this year. Not

503
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 4: only will he be miked up probode did he say

504
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 4: say his healthy knock on wood on that, but a

505
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 4: new uniform number Paul's favorite topic. If it's not the

506
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 4: mock drafts, it's uniform numbers. And Mac will be wearing

507
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 4: number one in twenty twenty six.

508
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 5: Just just you know the whole thing. You know, it's

509
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: like my sister in law, who knows not about sports,

510
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 5: she so what outfits are they wearing this week? It's

511
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 5: a uniform. But you know what, the longer this goes on,

512
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 5: it's closer to becoming an outfit. I mean, just you

513
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 5: know all this attention paid to uniform, especially in the

514
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 5: college game. All right, what combination? Yeah, you know it's

515
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 5: next thing you know you're gonna get like a wardrobe

516
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 5: consultant involved, the official team wardrobe consultant, like fits used

517
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 5: to have when you pick out those glorious suits he

518
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: would wear. But look is for look if it makes

519
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 5: him the player he thinks he can become. And man

520
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 5: was he tracking to be that guy until he got

521
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 5: injured midway through last year. That pick included mac Wilson Senior.

522
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 5: What an athletic diving pick to get into the passing

523
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 5: lane the second level at Indianapolis and make that diving interception.

524
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 5: Think about the big hit he laid on Christian McCaffrey

525
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 5: in the red zone in Week three at Santa Clara.

526
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 5: He had some hollacious hits, some highlight plays. I can't

527
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 5: wait to see healthy MacWilson senior again.

528
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 4: Biggest loss defensively last season was Macna being on the field,

529
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: gets hurt in Dallas and the Cardinals do not win

530
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 4: another game the rest of the way. Now, is it

531
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 4: that easy? No, it's not. But a healthy mac Wilson

532
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 4: senior middle of the defense. Who is he going to

533
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 4: be alongside? Is it gonna be Cody Simon? Is it

534
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: gonna be Jack Gibbons, who the Cardinals signed to a

535
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 4: two year contract this offseason. Defensively, upgrades along the defensive

536
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 4: line as far as no longer as Blall Nichols here,

537
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 4: no longer as Justin Jones is here? Roy Lopez though,

538
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 4: is Beck don't quite know what's gonna happen with Kalais Campbell,

539
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: but certainly not as much of an investment personnel wise

540
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 4: as last offseason. Maybe Rob some smarter investments on the

541
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball.

542
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 6: Well, I'd sure I kind of circled this guy and

543
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 6: uh after the combine, I'd sure love to see Jacob

544
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 6: Martinez from the linebacker from Texas Tech. I'd sure love

545
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 6: to love to see him lining up next to Mac

546
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 6: Wilson Senior. I mean, this guy just just finds the

547
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 6: football and is a turnover machine. But yeah, there are

548
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 6: still needs with this Arizona Cardinals defense. And most notably

549
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 6: we've talked about it is is that edge rush position

550
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 6: opposite of Josh Sweat with only five sacks combined from

551
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 6: everybody else from the other edge position last year. That's

552
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 6: that has to be addressed at some point in this draft.

553
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 6: It's a it's a position of immediate need. I do

554
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 6: think off the ball linebacker is also an immediate need.

555
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 6: But you know, signing Jack Gibbons, he's he's a good player,

556
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 6: but you know he's I don't. I don't know that

557
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 6: he's to that level where where it's it's an immediate

558
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 6: Day one starter. But yeah, there's still some needs on

559
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 6: this defensive line. They've they've re signed some some guys

560
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 6: internally to add depth on the internal defensive line, which

561
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 6: is good. So go ahead ball, all right.

562
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 5: So, as a former first round linebacker, Rob Ferderckson, let's

563
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 5: just settle this right now, because I'm getting a lot

564
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 5: of blowback from my colleagues around here, whether it's Sunny

565
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 5: Styles in the top five, whether it's Martinez at some point,

566
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 5: let's just say they go for a premier inside backer

567
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 5: to pair with Mac Wilson Senior. A. What do you

568
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 5: think about that in terms of just what it does

569
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 5: for the Cardinals defense? And B would you like to

570
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 5: see Mac Wilson Senior return to the edge on passing

571
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 5: downs if you did get another mic linebacker.

572
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 6: You know, he's certainly capable, and he really started out

573
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 6: in New England doing that and he was very successful.

574
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 6: So you haven't seen as much of it with the

575
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 6: Arizona Cardinals, but just having a healthy Mac Wilson Senior

576
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 6: I think would be a huge benefit.

577
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 11: Now.

578
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 6: I don't foresee the Cardinals going Sonny Styles at three

579
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 6: or even trading back slightly to pick him up. I

580
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 6: just I think the knee of this team are at

581
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 6: other positions are higher than the need at inside linebacker.

582
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 6: So I just don't see them doing that. But you know,

583
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 6: Jacob Martinez, if we could get him, he might he

584
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 6: might not even be there at thirty four. Honestly, there's

585
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 6: talk of him creeping up into the first round. Wow.

586
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 11: Wow.

587
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 5: He is a baller though. Man is he productive? Just

588
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 5: one of those has those natural instincts as like a

589
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 5: seek and destroy inside linebacker.

590
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 6: You know it's in the college game. You don't see

591
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 6: it a lot. You see it in the pros a lot.

592
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 6: The punch out the football and that's all he does.

593
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 6: He's got that technique down pat He's caused I think

594
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 6: seven of those turnovers this year, fifteen in his career.

595
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 6: So he's a guy to keep an eye on. I

596
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 6: think for the Arizona Cardinals. If he's around in the

597
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 6: second or third round, I would not hesitate.

598
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: If you look at the different position rooms defensively, the

599
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 4: Cardinals have not added anyone new at edge or cornerback.

600
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 4: Now does that mean they like what they already have

601
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 4: or do they have their eye on potential people in

602
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 4: the draft upcoming. They did add in the safety room

603
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 4: Andrew Wingard after seven seasons in Jacksonville is headed to

604
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals. In fact, he's already here, Paul, You

605
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 4: and I had a chance to sit down with him

606
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: here in studios part of Cardinals Cover two. Just listen

607
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 4: to Andrew describe his style of play.

608
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 10: I love to play kind of old school, do your job,

609
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 10: but once you arrive, do it violently and do it

610
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 10: psychotically kind of. It'll probably be similar to Buddha. Just

611
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 10: absolutely fly around, go one thousand miles an hour and

612
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 10: see what happens. So but with a little bit of

613
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 10: discipline there to do your job. So hopefully they see

614
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 10: that style and continuing to evolve and hopefully I can

615
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 10: be a do it all guy.

616
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 4: You followed up, Paul and mention that Buddha calls that

617
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: running into the darkness. And Andrew kind of lit up

618
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 4: and said, Yeah, that's kind of who I am. Now,

619
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 4: You've got to be disciplined and smart about it, but

620
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 4: not afraid of the contact, not afraid playing close to

621
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, near the bock, near the action.

622
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 4: As far as yes, you're a safety, maybe not no

623
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: longer the final line of defense.

624
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 5: He's sort of like a Dennis Gardak, who plays in

625
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 5: the second and third level, if you will, and he

626
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 5: told the story when Gardeck showed up in Jacksonville last

627
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 5: year as a free agent, they stopped and stared at

628
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 5: each other from across the locker room and sort of

629
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 5: had that symbiotic moment and said, oh, yeah, we're gonna

630
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 5: get along just fine. They sort of have that similar mentality.

631
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 5: But now you have some really unique skill sets in

632
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 5: terms of safeties. Buddha singular wingered. I mean, he's all

633
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 5: over the place, rabbit, rabbit will hit you, He'll come

634
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 5: from great distance, full speed. And then just the ridiculous

635
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 5: athleticism of Akeaton Crawford. So you have a lot of possibilities.

636
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 5: Even Nick rawlis just sort of dialing up those safeties

637
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 5: in different ways.

638
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 4: Andrew wingerd forty four starts over his seven seasons with

639
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars, one hundred and two games overall, and

640
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 4: as he mentioned, he believes he's a starter in this

641
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 4: this league, certainly last season sitting career highs and a

642
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 4: number of different categories players though already on the rosters

643
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 4: I mentioned edge, rush corner, those rooms. They remained the

644
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 4: same from a year ago so those guys in the room,

645
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 4: young players like a bj Ojalari or a Will Johnson.

646
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 4: Max Melton with Nick Rolis defensive coordinator, would like to

647
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 4: see about some developments from those players to take that

648
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: next step in twenty twenty six.

649
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 14: How do we improve teaching in the classroom? You know,

650
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 14: I call it like cognitive recall because on the grass

651
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 14: it ultimately comes down to decisions and actions. How fast

652
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 14: can they make a decision and can they carry out

653
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 14: the action necessary to execute the scheme? Is there any

654
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 14: other ways that we can teach this thing or should

655
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 14: we be changing how we're teaching it? You know, what

656
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 14: we're teaching so that it ups execution and performance. Deep

657
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 14: dive in that one percent, because that's our job as

658
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 14: coaches is to develop.

659
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny you're playing Nick Rowsis here at

660
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 5: Craig because on the screen they're showing highlights yesterday Ruben

661
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 5: Bain Junior and the Miami Hurricanes Pro Day, and just

662
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 5: some of the violence he shows, just going through the

663
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 5: bags and the sled and you just see the burst

664
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 5: and the explosion, and it really makes you wonder. Let's

665
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 5: just say the Cardinals trade out of number three because

666
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 5: to our left is Notre Dame's Pro Day and Jeremiah

667
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 5: loves going through. So let's see someone trades up and

668
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 5: you're picking seven, eight or nine and ruben Bain Junior

669
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 5: is there. I could absolutely see the Cardinals going for

670
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 5: ruben Bain Junior, pair up with Walter Nolan Darius Robinson

671
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 5: on passing downs. What does Nick Ross like to do? Oh,

672
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 5: He'll just go that seven up right, guys kind of

673
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 5: standing around the line of scrimmage, and the positional flexibility

674
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 5: rubyen Bain Junior maybe off the edge. We've seen Xave

675
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 5: and Collins drop down into a five technique even a

676
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 5: three technique at times because Nick Ross saw that diabolical

677
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 5: schemer using different guys in different spots. To me, a

678
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 5: ruben Bain Junior could fit in Nick Rowlis philosophy big time.

679
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 4: Interesting to see what this Cardinals team does it pick

680
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 4: number three, even if they stay at number three. But

681
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 4: that word development and player development. We heard that rob

682
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 4: even before the end of last season, and that seems

683
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 4: to be a large focal point of this offseason, especially

684
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 4: when you got a Walter Nolan, Darius Robinson, Jordan Birch,

685
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 4: Elijah Jones, Young players at three different levels of that

686
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 4: defense that saw flashes, but now need that consistency.

687
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 6: I think they need to reassess or develop or think

688
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 6: about why there were so many mistackles and bad angles

689
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 6: last year, you know, and that that, to me is

690
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 6: is the biggest part. I know there was injuries, but

691
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 6: you gotta you gotta look at why the why the

692
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 6: players were doing that, and some of that could go

693
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 6: to effort and were they quitting on the team at

694
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 6: certain points. Big questions here.

695
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 4: And against the NFC wes a tall task ahead for

696
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 4: the Cardinals. We'll get to that next here on the

697
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

698
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 11: Darnald hastime, go ahead, a fly, Jaysen is out there.

699
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 15: Jason cut down, Shayhawks.

700
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 11: I'm fighting the end zone and a sixty one yard

701
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 11: rocket to number eleven.

702
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 5: Darnald to throw on first down looking for the end zone.

703
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 15: Crows get Smiff in chickab with the.

704
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: Catch and then he slams the football over.

705
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 5: The upright to celebrate the touchdown.

706
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 11: Thirteen nothing Seattle.

707
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 4: Darnald looks fires inside.

708
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 15: Bone Cock cut down Shayhawks, Jackson, Smiff and Jacob splits

709
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 15: up from the backfield, runs a slant round between two defenders.

710
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 11: And Donald frozen all a time from six yards out.

711
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 4: Someone got paid this offseason, Jackson Smith and Jigma now

712
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 4: the highest paid wide receiver in history. Average annual value

713
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 4: better than forty two million dollars a SEASONI one hundred

714
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 4: and twenty of his one sixty eight point six million

715
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 4: dollars guaranteed, according to reports. As we take a look

716
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 4: at what is happening around the NFC West, our final

717
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 4: segments on this edition of The Cardinals Red Sea Report. Yeah,

718
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 4: the Seahawks did lose Kenneth Walker, Boye, mafe Rieke Woollan,

719
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant, but they did maintain and keep JSN to

720
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 4: a record contract. Souh Hey, if you're the Super Bowl champs,

721
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 4: that's kind of the price of doing business.

722
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 5: You know what the Seahawks need, Oh, here we go.

723
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 5: Calvis Consulting says they need a good old fashioned quarterback

724
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 5: contract holdout. They need Sam Donald to say, wait a minute,

725
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 5: I'm only making in the thirties. I should be making

726
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 5: in the fifties. I'll see at some point in August

727
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 5: after you redo my deal. That's what they need, Sam Donald,

728
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 5: a little contract holdout. We're gonna try and speak that

729
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 5: into existence.

730
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the Cardinals probably want to get a

731
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 6: hold of Michael Wilson agent pretty soon before before these

732
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 6: numbers keep going up and up.

733
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 5: It's true, before Pooka Nakoua gets paid. Yes, Pooka Nakua twext.

734
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 5: He tweeted out like a double thumbs up or something

735
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 5: once he saw the numbers on Chassen.

736
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 4: By the way, the uh, maybe you got something working

737
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 4: there with Sam Donald because he's got a new OC

738
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: because Clint Kubiak is now true in Las Vegas, so

739
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 4: me might have a little leverage there, Paul, if you

740
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: want to speak this into existence, that's right. I mean

741
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: it was really well bought at this point. And so

742
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 4: all right, Seahawks, we know they got rid of Kenneth Walker,

743
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 4: and a lot of people think Kansasy overpaid for Kenneth

744
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 4: Walker the third He was inconsistent obviously in his Seattle career.

745
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 4: And they're definitely running backs in this draft, and so

746
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 4: you figure Seattle with their first or second round pick

747
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 4: is going to go after a running back, especially with

748
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 4: Zach Charbonay coming off a pretty serious injury that he

749
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 4: suffered in the playoffs and then the Rams and everything

750
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 4: they did in the secondary, they didn't waste any time.

751
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 4: They're back to forget them picks as they went after

752
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 4: a couple of cornerbacks, maybe one of the best in

753
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 4: the business, and that's exactly what Sean McVay and Lessenie needed. Yeah,

754
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 4: the Rams acquired Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs, then signed

755
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 4: him to a record setting contract. They signed cornerback Jalen

756
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 4: Watson from the Chiefs. They re signed safety cam curl

757
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: Darius Williams announced his retirement, So almost a brand new

758
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 4: secondary for the Rams. Who will have Matthew Stafford back

759
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 4: because way back when at the starts of February announced

760
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 4: that he was returning. So the Rams just seemed to

761
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 4: kind of figure things out each and every season, no

762
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: matter how many different coaches or players come and go

763
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 4: for Sean McVay.

764
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I gotta think that Trent McDuffie deal that

765
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 6: they were able to get from Kansas City is a

766
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 6: direct result of the success that Jackson Smith and Jigbo

767
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 6: has had with Seattle and to bring that a cornerback

768
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 6: of that caliber in to to specifically work against Jackson

769
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 6: Smith and Jigba, you know the Rams are smart in

770
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 6: that regard. They just they just do the things they

771
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 6: need to do to improve their roster and maintain any

772
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 6: kind of leverage they can against their NFC West opponents.

773
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 4: By the way, the Rams have now traded a first

774
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 4: round pick nine times in the last ten seasons. It's

775
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 4: just it's amazing that. But their hit rate on Day two,

776
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 4: especially along the defensive front, is outstanding in the second, third,

777
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 4: and fourth rounds. But when it comes to first round.

778
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 5: Picks and the one they don't care, the one they

779
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 5: kept was the NFL defensive Rookie of the Year in

780
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 5: Jared Verse. They nailed it. They've done a really good

781
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 5: job in building both both with acquiring proven talent, because yeah,

782
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford has a year left, maybe more, But you

783
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 5: want proven talent. You don't want unknowns in the draft

784
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 5: that might take a year to develop. You want guys

785
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 5: who are plugged in play. And they had the cap

786
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 5: room to make the Trent McDuffie happen and pay him handsomely.

787
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 4: Hopefully, Though the loss of Micha Laflor will put a

788
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 4: dents in what the Rams do offensively. The last team

789
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 4: in the division maybe made the most surprising move of

790
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 4: any team in free agency, and I think this was

791
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 4: maybe more the player than the team itself. But how

792
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 4: about Mike Evans leaving Tampa Bay to head to the

793
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 4: other bay by the Pacific Ocean three years, forty two

794
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 4: and a half million dollars and Rob probably had the

795
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 4: quote of the offseason as well. I feel like they

796
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 4: were one piece away, and I'm that piece talking about

797
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers.

798
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 6: Humble, Yeah, this guy, this guy's just such a humble player.

799
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 6: But no, look, he's a great player, and especially he's

800
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 6: getting up there in age. But what he does so

801
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 6: well in that red zone is that to go up

802
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 6: and get those fifty to fifty balls. You know, I

803
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 6: think he's going to blend in really well with the

804
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 6: forty nine Ers. Also signed Christian Kirk, you know, to

805
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 6: a one year deal, so they've really it was an

806
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 6: area of need for the forty nine ers. The wide

807
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 6: receiver room was was pretty the coupboards were pretty bare,

808
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 6: so it was it was an area of need and

809
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 6: they addressed it. And so yeah, the Cardinals, if you

810
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 6: want to talk about the Cardinals in their cornerback room,

811
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 6: there's some some significant talent in the NFC West in

812
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 6: terms of the wide receiver rooms for the forty nine Ers,

813
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 6: the Rams, and the Seahawks. So that's certainly got to

814
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 6: be an area where the Arizona Cardinals focus.

815
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, think of the receivers right from JSN to Puka Akua.

816
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 5: DeVante Adams led the NFL with fourteen receiving touchdowns. Now

817
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 5: the Niners receiver room, although my question of the Niners

818
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 5: is do they does the receiving room come with its

819
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 5: own specific trainer Because Mike Evans played less than half

820
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 5: the games a year ago, I looked it up. Christian

821
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 5: Kirk has missed eighteen games over the last three years.

822
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 5: Ricky Piersall has been all banged up his two years

823
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,720
Speaker 5: in the NFL, so not his own fault. So that's

824
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 5: a little dicey. There's some talent in that receiver room,

825
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 5: but there's not a great track record to stay healthy

826
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 5: if you're Kyle Shanahan, and it doesn't.

827
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 4: Matter who you have at receiver if the quarterback doesn't

828
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 4: have time to throw. And now the noise is getting

829
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 4: a little bit louder around tackle Trent Williams. There was

830
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 4: reports early in the offseason that the forty nine Ers

831
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 4: were open to trading Trent Williams. I don't know if

832
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 4: there's a contract Stille made at the moment, but I

833
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 4: think things will work themselves out. It just might be

834
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 4: a little bit uneasy right now for the forty nine ers.

835
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 5: Thirty eight years of age, although I'm not the one

836
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 5: who would tell Trent Williams he's getting older and he's

837
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 5: not maybe top of his game, But then the other

838
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 5: four guys are just guys that Niner offensive line. Yes, Craig,

839
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: you're right, just cited. I think it's a semi concern

840
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 5: right now if you're the Niners.

841
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 4: And don't forget Robert Salad now in Tennessee. So the

842
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 4: forty nine ers with another season of a brand new

843
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator. I think this is four times in four

844
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 4: years or five times in five So bottom line, Rob,

845
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 4: it's gonna be as it always is, a test within

846
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 4: the NFC West.

847
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 6: For the Cardinals, it's an arms race. Cardinals gotta have

848
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 6: a good draft.

849
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 5: Rob.

850
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,920
