Speaker 5: my favorite people. You guys gonna give me a little education,

23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 5: little football education. Every time we generally have some conversations,

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 5: not perfectly because we're not on radio, because you guys

25
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 5: kind of correct some of the things I say about.

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 5: So I'm a little excited to see you all again,

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 5: so I can learn a couple of things, and then

28
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 5: I can go and use that against some of these

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 5: other guys who think they know more than me and Craig.

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 6: It goes unsaid that we're not in the Ring of honor.

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, you don't need to point that out.

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 6: Nobody's wondering, Okay, whether Paully penciled at Craig Griel or

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 6: we're in the Ring of honor. Let's just leave that out, Okay.

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 6: We don't need to point out the obvious. We are close, though,

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 6: to the Ring of honor. We are just where we

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 6: sit at the proximity, sit in the proximity.

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: Just below and I believe just above the press boxes

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: where Roy Green's name is located.

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 5: I prefer it to be I love to be close

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 5: to it. I love to be closed. Please let me

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 5: close it all the time, because I know in about well,

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 5: we don't know how well. Very soon some other guy

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: who I hate is going to be in there very soon,

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 5: and then you know, my thunder will be gone.

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 6: Well a little bit later, as I just tweeted out,

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 6: dare I ask Roy jetstream Green whether he draft or

47
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 6: receiver the position itself number four overall. We'll get to

48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 6: that a little bit later.

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 4: We'll also talk a little bit later here about the

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, the forty nine Ers and Chiefs matching up

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 4: on Sunday in Las Vegas. And we say it all

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 4: the time, if you have a quarterback, you have a chance,

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 4: and the forty nine Ers and Chiefs both perfect examples

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: of that. And dare I say, as we kind of

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: bring it here locally to what the Cardinals hope to

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 4: have happen, if not this upcoming season, sooner rather than later.

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: They want to be in that final game. And we

58
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: saw late in the season, Paul, after Kyler Murray did return,

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 4: the Cardinals did have a chance that they went three

60
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: and five. The record overall doesn't look good, but what

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: we saw and then the numbers overall looked a heck

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: of a lot better. When you had your franchise quarterback

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: at the helm, I mean, you went from a twenty

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 4: sixth ranked offense without Kyler to the ninth ranked offense

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: with Kyler.

66
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 6: So it was day and night and it got progressively better.

67
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: He looked more fluid, he looked more comfortable. Just his

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 6: connection with some of the receivers, especially at the end.

69
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 6: Look at the improvement like with a Michael Wilson for example,

70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 6: over the last couple of games. Look at the improvement

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 6: to a Trey McBride, who really became his go to

72
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 6: you talked to some of the people on the inside.

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 6: It goes way beyond just the stats. Just as six

74
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 6: touchdown and passes in one interception over the final three games, right,

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 6: and then one interception wasn't his fall Michael Wilson messed

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 6: that up in the ninety nine yard pick six that

77
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 6: went the other way in Philadelphia. It was his ability

78
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 6: to read the field, go and finding the second, third,

79
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 6: fourth option when he talked to So there was a

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 6: lot of improvement over the course of his eight games,

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 6: almost six more points per game with Kyler Murray at

82
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 6: quarterback compared to who was there before k one return Roy.

83
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 6: What did you see overall just from Kyler Murray after

84
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 6: watching him since he arrived in twenty nineteen, But then

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 6: you don't have him. He has to rehab the entire offseason.

86
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 6: He's entering a little bit of an unknown situation because

87
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 6: a brand new front office, brand new head coach, brand

88
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 6: new offensive coordinator to a large degree, a brand new

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 6: offense overall, and he didn't get much practice time before

90
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 6: he stepped foot on that field in Week ten.

91
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: A lot of different things for everyone, but it was

92
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 5: still football. You know, he's one of the best talents

93
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 5: that we've seen. So he's going to be six. He

94
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 5: just has to be, because first of all, his attitude.

95
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 5: You know, a guy he wants to be the best.

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 5: He's a great, great competitor, and all it was for

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 5: him to get an opportunity to get back on the grass,

98
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 5: to get familiar with some of the new guys that

99
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: he's working with U and you know, it almost like

100
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 5: he just came back on the step that I mean,

101
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: on the things that he'd been done prior. He's very

102
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 5: comfortable with the coach and the new offensive coordinator, which

103
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 5: helps a lot about things. And as you said, it

104
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 5: wasn't coincidentally that this almost in every area our offense

105
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 5: was better. We talked about what players got more catches

106
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 5: and the running back to the lineman was it has

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 5: a lot to do with the quarterback. This is this

108
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: is a quarterback driven football team.

109
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: I like that word you use. Kyler was comfortable because

110
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: he did look more comfortable, especially as those games progress. Paul,

111
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 4: and you look and you talk about being under center,

112
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: play action, rolling out things that Kyler did at times,

113
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: but not nearly as much in his first three plus seasons.

114
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, I do think going into this upcoming season,

115
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: there'll be much more comfortability with Kyler Murray at quarterback.

116
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 6: And a lot of that he checked into himself. A

117
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 6: lot of that he went up to the line of scrimmage.

118
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 6: He had the authority, had the ability to get into things. Now,

119
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 6: when he first started, you know, his first few games,

120
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 6: there were things that apparently he looked at the defense,

121
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 6: he wanted to get into something, didn't know how to

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 6: translate it into the current offense. But by the end

123
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 6: of the season, he was fluent in the new language.

124
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 6: He knew exactly Okay, where I'm going, I know what

125
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 6: I want, what does that mean in this offense? And

126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 6: then just little things like carrying out the play action

127
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 6: fake you know, they had to drill him on that

128
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 6: because he hadn't done a lot of that his entire career.

129
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 6: You have to keep that ball on your hip, you

130
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 6: have to sell it. It's that one extra moment that

131
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 6: you're going to free the inside linebacker that allows for

132
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 6: a player over the middle to get open that window,

133
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 6: a separation where you have a viable target and you

134
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 6: can make that completion. So that was something that he

135
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 6: took to. In terms of the coaches, they really impored

136
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 6: him to get better in a couple of those areas.

137
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 6: He took it to heart. He improved, and to your point, Craig,

138
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 6: those last two three games, he looked much more fluent

139
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 6: in the office, especially when he was under center.

140
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: Small sample size, but again it does give you reason

141
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: to be optimistic going into this upcoming season. Here in

142
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. Recently, fact, just last week on the

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 4: Big Red Rage, Frank Sanders, another former Cardinals pass catcher

144
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: who also wore eighty one, but not nearly as well

145
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: as Roy Green did. Apologies to Frank, but here is

146
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: Frank Sanders talking about what he saw out of K

147
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 4: one last year.

148
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 7: It's learning how teams are attacking you. You know, that's

149
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 7: one of the biggest things about a quarterback in the NFL.

150
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 7: It's not what you did in college that just made

151
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 7: you great, but it's how your opponent is actually playing

152
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 7: chess against you. Your athleticism allows you to kind of

153
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 7: overcome a lot of stuff. In coler situation because he's

154
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 7: so fast and so exposed to an outside they don't

155
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 7: rush to stack them, they rush to keep them in

156
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 7: the pocket. And I think that's one of the things.

157
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 7: If he learns that and learns how to overcome that situation,

158
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 7: it'd be much better.

159
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: Everything else is just efforless adjusting on the fly. Roy,

160
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: because you can study all you want, you can practice

161
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: all week long, but then you see something differently in

162
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: a game or what you think, Hey, I don't remember

163
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: that being a part of a defensive look that the

164
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: opponent was giving, and then you have to adjust and

165
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: maybe throw everything out that you had worked on all

166
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: week long. And I think that's the point that Frank

167
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: s Anders was making last week with Paul Calvic and

168
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 4: Ron Woefully on the Big Red Rages. Okay, now, what

169
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: do you do when you see something differently for the

170
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 4: first time?

171
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 5: Oh man, you know what, this is the best, the

172
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 5: best reason I think I would not think that I

173
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: know when I was successful, when we were successful as

174
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 5: an offense, it was because all the time that we

175
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 5: had opportunity to talk about all the different coverages that

176
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 5: you can go to see all your different receivers are

177
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 5: going to adjust differently, and and and the more you

178
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 5: do that during the off season, the more you talk

179
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 5: about it, and it becomes just uh, it was just

180
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: a natural thing, you know. And and as I would

181
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 5: tell you, like when I was playing with uh J

182
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 5: T or Tilly, our adjustments for our quarterback were different

183
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 5: because you know, we would do a different thing. But

184
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 5: it's because that we always talked about it. The quarterback

185
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 5: talked about it, and we drilled about Okay, when this

186
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: situation's coming, I know that Roy is going to do this,

187
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 5: I know that JT's going to do this. And now

188
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 5: for the Cardinals is that the team now is going

189
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 5: to be adjustments inside saying inside the uh inside, between

190
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 5: the hashes, It's gonna be adjust It's gonna be different

191
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: for Trey than Michael is going to be when you

192
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 5: know as a receiver going inside and that Murray's going

193
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 5: to talk to those guys. And it's also and throughout

194
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: this entire offseason and they're gonna make plays because they've

195
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 5: talked about it, they know about it, and it's gonna

196
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 5: be an easier game for him.

197
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 6: Week eighteen, season finale against Seattle at home, Michael Wilson

198
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 6: and Kyler Murray connected on a key third and long,

199
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 6: and Michael Wilson after the game told us it was

200
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 6: just sort of visual nod because they got pressman cover

201
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 6: and that changed exactly what they wanted to do. Wasn't

202
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 6: an ideal coverage. They're like, oh, but now by the

203
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 6: end of the season, Kyler looks at Michael, Michael nods

204
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 6: and boom. He runs basically a nine route where he

205
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 6: stops and then the back shoulder down the sideline first out.

206
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 6: That's the sort of chemistry that developed that I'm guessing

207
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 6: you're referencing Roy where Okay, you can just sort of

208
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 6: make those visual adjustments and know you're on the same

209
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 6: page with your quarterback.

210
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 5: Definitely just like JT would be like that, Holy Nope,

211
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 5: but Jet was going to be keep going and that

212
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 5: was the adjustment different.

213
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: But we knew that, and that I think is what

214
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 4: this offseason is about for Kyler Murray and his pass catchers.

215
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: Whether that's Michael Wilson, Tyler en Try McBride, who, by

216
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 4: the way, recently on Up in Adams with host Kay Adams,

217
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 4: and obviously the conversation turned to Kyler Murray.

218
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 5: What was your reaction when you heard coach again and

219
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 5: say Kyler Murray is going to be the quarterback next year.

220
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 8: I was just super exciting, you know, just to have

221
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 8: a guy to have a whole off season with him.

222
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 8: You know, this year we only got to play half

223
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 8: a season he was coming back with the ACL. So

224
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 8: to now have a full off season, to be able

225
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 8: to work out, to train and do everything this offseason,

226
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 8: to have a full year with him, I'm excited to see,

227
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 8: you know, the connection we can have next year.

228
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 9: I think next year you are one of the breakout

229
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 9: players for next season from the jump.

230
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 10: I'll talk about it all off season.

231
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: I'd say I McBride already is maybe broken out based

232
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 4: off how he finished the season. But that conversation is

233
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: just what we were having here moments ago here on

234
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: the Cardinals Red Sea Report. The offseason as far as

235
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 4: not so much the x's and o's, but getting out

236
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 4: on the field with your different pass catchers, roy and

237
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 4: working on route running, the timing. Okay, if you see this,

238
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: then do that. And they didn't have much of that

239
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: and that ability because there was not much time when

240
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: Kyler returned, had a couple of days of practice, and

241
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: then you had a game, and there was not much

242
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: of that conversation. There was some, But now is really

243
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 4: when you can hone in on that conversation and that

244
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: talk and Kyler doesn't have to worry about a rehab anymore.

245
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: He's fine.

246
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: Now you can just figure out what you need to

247
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 4: do on the football field.

248
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 5: So this is even more amazing that the connection that

249
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 5: they had these last part of the season because they

250
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 5: hadn't to spend as much time together, but yet the

251
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: numbers they put together, this kind of second sense they

252
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 5: have between one another is pretty unbelievable. But now is

253
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 5: to even get better. I mean, it's it's just easy

254
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: to know that. And both guys are first and foremost,

255
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 5: they're very committed. They're very committed, they love to compete,

256
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 5: and they've seen just a piece of how great that

257
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 5: this offense can be. You know, we've seen some moments

258
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 5: that hey, this guy who we always talked about, you know,

259
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 5: we got a few moments a few pieces that we

260
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: need to become a really good offense. Well, it's not

261
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 5: that far away. In my opinion, it's not that far

262
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 5: away because all our receivers are very capable to make plays.

263
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 5: We have a tight ends, very it's one of the

264
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 5: best in the league at this early age in our quarterback.

265
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 5: As I said before, everybody was a lot of talk

266
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 5: before is this is going to be our guy? And

267
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 5: I'm wondering why was this that an answer? Why is

268
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 5: there an answer? He's always shown in my opinion from

269
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 5: the very first day, Hey, this is a franchise quarterback.

270
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: And I think that we've seen that now.

271
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 6: You know what else we discovered rediscovered was when you

272
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 6: have a franchise quarterback, you can have a lot of

273
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 6: other deficiencies and get away with it. That guy at

274
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 6: quarterback can erase a lot of other weaknesses and shortcomings.

275
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 6: Look what Patrick Mahomes did this year with a group

276
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 6: of receivers who led the NFL in drops forty four

277
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 6: drops they had this year, got rid of a Tyreek

278
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 6: hill and he's been at two straight Super Bowls. So

279
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 6: if you have that guy at quarterback, and dare I say, look,

280
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 6: if you have the head coach in the quarterback. That

281
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 6: combo is still so vital in the NFL. Andy Reid

282
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 6: and Patrick Mahomes, Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purty. Look what

283
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 6: Demico Ryans and CJ. Stroud did in Houston this year.

284
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 6: They had no more than four wins each of the

285
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 6: last three seasons, but they got the head coach in

286
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 6: the quarterback right. Didn't have a lot of other talent

287
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 6: on the rest of that team. Necessarily they have some players,

288
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 6: but look what they did. They went from worse to first.

289
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 6: And so if you're the Arizona Cardinals and you're coming

290
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 6: back with Jonathan Gannon, who I think showed him self

291
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 6: improved himself pretty dang well. Ball security was excellent, lack

292
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 6: of penalties this year, a lot of things you can

293
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 6: point to that was direct influence from the head coach.

294
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 6: And now Kyler Murray is back and playing at a

295
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 6: Pro Bowl level. If he can pick up where he

296
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 6: left off and get that much better in this offense,

297
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 6: to me, that's the formula where the Cardinals make a

298
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 6: serious postseason run next year.

299
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: Everyone is on the same page as far as front office,

300
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: head coach, and your franchise quarterback. One more on Kyler

301
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 4: Murray and what he is doing and what he potentially

302
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: can do for the Arizona Cardinals the day after the

303
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: season ended, wide receiver Michael Wilson.

304
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 10: I feel extremely responsible to play at a high level

305
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 10: for him because I'm playing for his legacy right being

306
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 10: a Heisman Trophy winner, being a Number one pig, being

307
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 10: franchise quarterback. He signed a big contract. He's got a

308
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 10: lot of responsibility, and I want to make sure I'm

309
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 10: playing at a high level to play a positive role

310
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 10: in his story.

311
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: You can hear the sense of commitment that Michael Wilson

312
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: is going to put in this offseason to make sure

313
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: not only he has good year, but Kyler Murray has

314
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: a good year and this Cardinals' offense has a good

315
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: year in twenty twenty four because it is moving forward.

316
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 4: You laid the foundation in year one under head coach

317
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon. Now you build upon that, and the Cardinals

318
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: will have potentially another pass catcher for Kyler Murray to

319
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: throw too, maybe even a couple of different new faces

320
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 4: added to this Cardinals team, whether or in free agency.

321
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: And then of course there's the draft. Might Michael Wilson

322
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 4: be playing with someone oh maybe out of a certain

323
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 4: university in the Midwest. We can talk about the draft.

324
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 4: We can talk about the wide receiver position. No one

325
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: better to talk about that with than the jet stream

00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 11: I told you all from day one, you know, I

338
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 11: watched his Senior Bowl and I was like, Yeah, that

339
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 11: kid knows, you know, he knows.

340
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: What he's doing.

341
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 11: I could tell, you know. And then just obviously he

342
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 11: had zero catches two weeks in a row, and that's

343
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 11: not you know, again, they're not a real representation of

344
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 11: you know what I think we could be. Now we'll

345
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 11: get a full off season on our bilt. You know,

346
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 11: I think next year, you know, Michael have a big year.

347
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 4: A very good first impression by the Cardinals, third round

348
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 4: wide receiver out of Stanford. Sorry, Paul, but had to

349
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: get it in there cause it's the facts, despite where

350
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: you went to college.

351
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 6: You know, I don't necessarily hold it against him, like

352
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 6: a Christian McCaffrey in the Super Bowl. It's when I

353
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 6: read that Christian McCaffrey is now also engaged to a

354
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 6: former miss Universe. That's when it's too much. That's what

355
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 6: that's That's when the likability factor really goes out the window.

356
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, it's just too much for one person.

357
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: Cardinals really liked what Michael Wilson did in his first

358
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: season with the Arizona Cardinals. As we say, welcome back,

359
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 4: it is the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by See

360
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 4: Your Ticket to Great Seats Greig Reial, Loup, Paul Calvic

361
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 4: and Roy Green talking about the wide receiver positions, specifically

362
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: talking first about Michael Wilson thirty eight catches, five hundred

363
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 4: and sixty five yards and three touchdowns, just one off

364
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 4: the team lead. And you heard Kyler Murray there talking

365
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 4: about Michael Wilson and the limited amount of time that

366
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 4: the two of them had to work on their game,

367
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: something we had touched on earlier here on the Cardinals

368
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: Red Sea Report jet. Yet at the same time you

369
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 4: could see, and again only a small sample size, and

370
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 4: remember Michael Wilson missed some time when Kyler came back.

371
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 4: Yet even that connection, you could see there was promise

372
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 4: moving into twenty twenty four.

373
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we knew, you know, prior to the draft,

374
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 5: everyone was excited, particularly the Cardinals. Everyone felt like it

375
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 5: was a steal, you know, to get him. Everyone said

376
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 5: that he could have had the talent of a first

377
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 5: round pick. And you know, he's shown that when you

378
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: watched this preseason draft last year and you saw his feet,

379
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 5: you know, the routes. He had an idea of what

380
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 5: receivers need to do to get open. He knew that

381
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 5: prior to coming in. Now he's getting better, has a

382
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 5: lot of ability, He's confident, and as we keep coming

383
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 5: back to, well, you have a great quarterback and you're

384
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 5: just the okay receiver, you're going to be good. But

385
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 5: when you have the ability that he has, you got

386
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 5: to expect some special things.

387
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 6: How long does it take you to determine if a

388
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 6: rookie receiver has a chance to be really good in

389
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 6: this league. Because I was talking a couple of the

390
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 6: Cardinals veteran receivers. I was askedingim about Michael Wilson the

391
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 6: first time they saw Michael Wilson in the off season

392
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 6: one of the mini camps, and the said it was

393
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 6: by the end of the first practice, a couple of

394
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 6: the veteran receivers turned to each other said, we got one.

395
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 6: We got Manias Support got one, and Michael Wilson. Why

396
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 6: it's remarkable how players no players, I mean, are you

397
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 6: pretty confident that you can watch after one practice you

398
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 6: can determine whether a rookie's gonna have a good shot

399
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 6: or not.

400
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna toot my head a little bit here,

401
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 5: but you know, I've had some conversation with people prior

402
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 5: to when I used to work all the receivers, you know,

403
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 5: years ago, like Beckham and Julio and Tate and just

404
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 5: quite a few guys I work with, and we would

405
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 5: talk about guys and they go, you know, I've seen

406
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 5: this guy for the last three years in college and

407
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 5: blah blah, this and this guy and this guy and Roy,

408
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 5: you've only seen him one time. Why do you think

409
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 5: you have the advantage? I said. If you don't know

410
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 5: in a few minutes about these kind of guys, you

411
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 5: out of their own business, you know. So, Yeah, it

412
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 5: doesn't take long to see certain people, and Michael is

413
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 5: one of those guys. Said. You see his feet, you

414
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 5: see the combination of his hands, he has the strength,

415
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 5: you know, the size, and amongst all that, he had

416
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 5: some heart. He wants to be really good. He wants

417
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 5: to be really good and great competitor. Yeah, we're gonna

418
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 5: see something special from him.

419
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 4: Six foot two, so he has the size that I

420
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 4: think that this front office and coaching staff wants out

421
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: of a wide receiver, which leads us into what might

422
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 4: be coming up. At the end of April. There is

423
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 4: a wide receiver out of Ohio State, six foot four,

424
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 4: two hundred and five pounds by the name of Marvin

425
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 4: Harrison Junior. We've watched him, now Roy for two plus seasons.

426
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 4: He was a talk of the wide receiver class a

427
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 4: year ago, and now once again not only the talk

428
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: of the wide receiver class, but dare I say many

429
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 4: of the pundits believe he is the number one prospect

430
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 4: in this twenty twenty four draft class. And there the

431
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 4: Cardinals are. They have their quarterback the three teams ahead

432
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 4: of them. Man, there might be some quarterback questions that

433
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 4: they have. And now that there's some excitement that perhaps

434
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison becomes an Arizona Cardinal later this off season.

435
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 5: Are you saying that should should we bring him? Or

436
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 5: is he capable of being changing a franchise with that

437
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 5: type of ability? Uh? He's great, without question. Uh, the

438
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: best one as we've seen this year. Everyone said it.

439
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 5: But you know what, there's a couple of guys that

440
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 5: are really close to him. There's some more guys that

441
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 5: are very explosive. You know the kid that at LSU neighbors. Wow,

442
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 5: he's special and actually he has another teammate and uh

443
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 5: you told me for a time. Yeah, all those guys

444
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 5: have some ability of Conzie who's at Washington. All the

445
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 5: special guys. And as I said before, you know, for

446
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 5: for a receiver, you know, he's dependent, he's dependent. Really,

447
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 5: you know a lot of guys are great receiving the

448
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 5: wrong situation, the wrong quarterback. You know, he's just a

449
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 5: regular guy. But if he's in the right situation with

450
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 5: with the right quarterback in the officsive coordinator. Uh, you know,

451
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 5: it's he can be special. With that question, Arison can

452
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 5: really be very special. But you know, with the situations

453
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 5: of our team going along with I said, we asked

454
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 5: some good guys here, I don't know. I think there's

455
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 5: a couple more guys I want to grab before getting

456
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: the receiver. But that's just me talking.

457
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 6: Look, it's a really deep draft and receiver. It's a

458
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 6: really deep draft and tackle for example. You know, in

459
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 6: the one historical case study, I'll throw out the Detroit

460
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 6: Lions Matt Millen, widely known as the worst GM and

461
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 6: modern history of the NFL.

462
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 2: What do he do?

463
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 6: He took three receivers in the top ten over like

464
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 6: a five year span. Where'd they get?

465
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 5: Remember those kids?

466
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 6: They went oh and sixteen at one point, then they

467
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 6: finally hit a home run in Calvin Johnson obviously, you know,

468
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 6: top five pick, Hall of Famer. Would that really do

469
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 6: for the Lion's fortunes? So with that being the case,

470
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 6: I truly wonder what Monti Austin Ford is going to do.

471
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 6: I just see a GM who truly believes in building

472
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 6: from the inside out. Bolstering the line of scrimmage, you

473
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 6: continue to build that offensive line if indeed you think

474
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 6: that guy is worthy of number four. Is there a

475
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 6: defensive lineman? I mean, you need to invest in the

476
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 6: defensive line of scrimmage on this team. Do you really

477
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 6: have that guy at number four? I mean, if only

478
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 6: a Miles Garrett was there. But there's not that sort

479
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 6: of guy. So my working theory is if a quarterback

480
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: is available at number four, a team will want to

481
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 6: come up, and I think they'll have a willing trade

482
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 6: partner in Montias Sport. That's just my gut feel at

483
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 6: this point.

484
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 4: Unless Marvin Harrison or whomever it might be at number four,

485
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: that is just too good of a can't miss prospect.

486
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: Now you say that, and dare I say, how many

487
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 4: can't miss prospects have missed in the past, especially when

488
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: you're talking top ten, top five? Now, once upon a

489
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 4: time the Cardinals did have a top five selection and

490
00:24:58,920 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 4: went wide.

491
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 5: Who was that?

492
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 4: Larry Fitzgerald? What pretty good wide receiver?

493
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 5: No overrated coming? So overrated?

494
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 4: God, he's not in the Cardinals Ring of Honor. Roy

495
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 4: and you are. Yeah. Fits recently sat down with cam

496
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 4: Cox twelve Sports and the conversation obviously came up about

497
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison Junior being an Arizona Cardinal.

498
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 12: He's a stud and and if he's there, I hope

499
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 12: we get him. Kyler love to throw it to him.

500
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 12: I'm a big fan of his father's and you know,

501
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 12: from everything I've heard, you know, he's just a really good,

502
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 12: hard working young man. So you can never have enough

503
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 12: high character, outstanding talented football players, you know, because those

504
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 12: are guys are the pillars of your of your foundation.

505
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: Jay Feeley called him the next you, like he compared

506
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 2: him to you.

507
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 12: Now you're that guy where people are like, hey, they

508
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 12: can be the next you know. In a way, he's

509
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 12: a heck of a lot more talented than than I

510
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 12: was at that age.

511
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 7: You know.

512
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 12: He can take short passes and go long. He can

513
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 12: go over the top. He's a willing participant, like in

514
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 12: terms of blocking in the run game, Like you used

515
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 12: to do that too, but I wasn't. I wasn't a

516
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 12: willing participant until like twenty thirteen later. Yeah, you know,

517
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 12: I did it begrudgingly. But now he does it already,

518
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 12: you know, in college, and he does it does it

519
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 12: really well. So I mean, if he's there, I definitely

520
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 12: would love to see him.

521
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 4: Fits the third overall pick, Cardinals have the fourth overall pick.

522
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 4: And yeah, for those that remember the early days of

523
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 4: Larry Fitzgerald, Marvin Harrison Junior, Paul coming out of Ohio

524
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 4: State is a more polished, well rounded receiver than Fits.

525
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 4: And that's not to say that you've got a future

526
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer with Marvin Harrison Junior, but coming out, yeah,

527
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: he's a step or two better than Fits.

528
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 6: Look, if that's your comp if you're telling me that

529
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison Junior is the next Larry Fitzgerald and is

530
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 6: a bona fide first ballot Hall of Famer, draft him.

531
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 5: Draft that's the case, draft him number four. If that's

532
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 5: the case, you know, it's easyles to say. And he's

533
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 5: better pub polished than fitz was.

534
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 6: Come on, now, he might be a little faster than

535
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 6: Larry was. Okay, he's might have some better times and

536
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 6: maybe some of the workouts, but yeah, more coblished. How

537
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 6: can you have better hands, for example, than Fits?

538
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, no, Fits. You know, he's he's very humble,

539
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 5: he always is. But yeah, but if he was indeed

540
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 5: all of that, yes, you would have to do it.

541
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 5: But as you talked before, Poly, there are some more

542
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 5: things that we've always talked about, and even prior to

543
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 5: the season, we say, hey, we need a defensive tackle,

544
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 5: a dominant defensive lineman. We've always talked about, where's that

545
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 5: cornerback going to be? Where is that guy that we

546
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 5: have We haven't had those guys. You know, we talked

547
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 5: about inside, the pressure of an offensive line. We've talked

548
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: about that. You know, those are things that you know,

549
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 5: if we want to go where we want to be,

550
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 5: in my opinion, to be in those playoffs next year,

551
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 5: you know, those some things we have to address. And

552
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 5: I know that they're talking about and they have a plan.

553
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 5: But as we talk about, you know, there's some things

554
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 5: that you know, first and foremost, the biggest fan there

555
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 5: is is me, and I'm always telling you what we

556
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 5: should do. And of course that's what they always tell me.

557
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 5: Roy shut up, and I understand why. But yeah, there's

558
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 5: some things I think that we really need and order

559
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 5: us to be a great, great, complete team. But yeah,

560
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 5: as you said, if that guy, we said, if he

561
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 5: can go about and become even close to what Fitz

562
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 5: will be, let's go and get.

563
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 6: Him and look if there was a Sauce Gardener there

564
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 6: at number four, like absolute hands down Pro Bowl corner.

565
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 6: But this isn't really that class. Now there's Terry and

566
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 6: Arnold out Alabama. Some of the mock drafts have him

567
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 6: going six or seven. Okay, you know, maybe he could

568
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 6: be that guy. But in terms of the need for

569
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 6: a cornerback, one for edge rusher, they had one sack

570
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 6: over the last six games. You know you need that

571
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 6: help along there. So once again, can you get receivers

572
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 6: later in the draft? Absolutely, look at I'm on Ross,

573
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 6: Saint Brown and All Pro this year. He did an

574
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 6: interview the other day where he listed he recited this

575
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 6: sixteen receivers drafted before him. You can find some of

576
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 6: these guys later in the draft in a loaded receiver class.

577
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 6: But again, if Marvin Harrison Junior is the next Larry Fitzgerald, Okay,

578
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 6: I get it. Pull the trigger.

579
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 4: At four NFL Networks, Daniel Jeremiah has four wide receivers

580
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: in his top fifteen. To your point, Paul, can you

581
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 4: drop a little bit, get to number eight, nine, ten,

582
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 4: or eleven and get one of those not named Marvin

583
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 4: Harrison Junior wide receivers. Something Frank Sanders talked about last

584
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: week on the Big Red Rage.

585
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 7: There are three or four receivers right now on the

586
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 7: top of the list that just makes your heart melt.

587
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 7: They're all six foot three, six foot four, tall, lanky,

588
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 7: rangey guys with arms. You know, they can make all

589
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 7: kind of plays from the one step hits to you know,

590
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 7: throwing the ball down the field, not afraid to go

591
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 7: across the middle. And Marvin Harrison would be something that

592
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 7: you just would love to have, especially because you know

593
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 7: this could be you know, another dreaded hair situation. Like

594
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 7: Larry Fitzgerald, a guy that runs all around. He's got

595
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 7: speed quality on every area from that outside to the inside.

596
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 7: He's knowledgeable as a receiver, so you're winning in that area.

597
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 7: But I will add this in, there are a lot

598
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 7: of receivers out there when that can make plays that

599
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 7: if you can steal him in the draft between the third,

600
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 7: fourth and fifth round, that's gonna be absolutely helpful to Kyle.

601
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: This our Cardinals offense, Kyle Murray needs a number one

602
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 4: ride receiver on the roster right now. There is not

603
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 4: a number one wide receiver.

604
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 5: Now.

605
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 4: Can Michael Wilson be a number one wide receiver? Perhaps,

606
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 4: but you need a playmaker that is going to set

607
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: the defense and make defenses keep their eyes up as

608
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 4: far as whereas that guy lined up left inside, right inside.

609
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 4: That's what's missing with this Cardinals offense.

610
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 6: I got into an argument with Ron Wolfley on the air,

611
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 6: and I said, look, the best thing that could happen

612
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 6: to the Ears on our Cardinals would be if Marvin

613
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 6: Harrison Junior was drafted number three before the Cardinals, because

614
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 6: then a quarterback falls to four and a team like

615
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 6: Atlanta might want to come up from eight. So now

616
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, you cash in number four for

617
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 6: extra picks. You make up for loose in ground on

618
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 6: the Houston first round pick, stinking c J. Stroud and

619
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 6: Damiko Ryans. That's now a twenty seventh pick overall. Okay,

620
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 6: but now you make up for that. You go down

621
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 6: to eight, and you still get a Roma Dunesay, you

622
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 6: get a Malik Neighbors. You still get a premier wide

623
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 6: receiver at eight, but you also get some other picks

624
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 6: to go along with it.

625
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 4: Again, there is no wrong answer here. We'll see what

626
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 4: Manti austin Ford decides to do come April, and then

627
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 4: they will be discussed and dissected, but we really won't

628
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 4: know the answer to any of these questions for a

629
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 4: good two or three years down the road.

630
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 6: And there's a chance that a Mike Evans might hit

631
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 6: free agency, but there's also a better chance. I think

632
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 6: that this front office isn't gonna spend big money, especially

633
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 6: on a receiver in free agency. And Michael Pittman from Indianapolis,

634
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 6: but you figure the Colts have to tag him. He's

635
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 6: by far their best receiver. So it's gonna be draft

636
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 6: at some point.

637
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 4: And remember, free agency happens before the draft. Do the

638
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 4: Cardinals tip their hand a little bit by what they

639
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 4: do in free agency before they're on the clock. At

640
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 4: the end of April, we've hit halftime here on the

641
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 4: Cardinals Red Seer Report presented by Seat Geek Your Ticket

Speaker 2: and hit and everything.

649
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 4: Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin wired up, miked up, going

650
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 4: back a couple of years, but talking about Cardinal safety

651
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 4: Buddha Baker, who this past Sunday participated in his sixth

652
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl, fifth in a row, by the way, helped

653
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 4: the NFC beat the AFC in flag football and all

654
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: the other activities surrounding the Pro Bowl. As we say

655
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 4: welcome back, it is the Cardinals Red Seer Report presented

656
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: by Seat Geek Your Ticket to Great Seats, Greg Raiol, Loop,

657
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 4: Paul Calvc and Roy Green as we talk about the Cardinals'

658
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 4: longest tenured defensive player, Budda Baker, who despite missing five

659
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 4: games this season, Paul still finished second on the team

660
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: in tackles. Didn't have any splash plays, something that he

661
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 4: brought up late in the season. No interceptions, no sacks,

662
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 4: but he also wasn't targeted a ton. He don't see

663
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 4: the football come in insurrection.

664
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 6: You know, I'm old enough to remember the old Maytag

665
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 6: repair man commercials where the lonely guy sitting in his

666
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 6: office right and nobody ever calls because the machines are

667
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 6: so reliable. You know that was Buddha Baker. Nobody tried him,

668
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 6: nobody tested him, nobody went his way, nobody called his number,

669
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 6: and uh man, there were be entire games where he'd

670
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 6: be like, wow, okay, now he'd still make a sure

671
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 6: of tackles, still ended up near the team leaders despite

672
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 6: missing five games. But usually he's going across the field

673
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 6: to make that tackle. He's usually coming from distance, and

674
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 6: just the amount and the number of touchdowns saving chunk

675
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 6: run saving tackles, he's still, in my opinion, the best

676
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 6: tackler in space in the NFL. So reliable. His angles

677
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 6: are always so money and sound, and you see it

678
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 6: like in the preseason when other safeties play in the preseason,

679
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 6: you realize how many tackles are missed in the open field,

680
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 6: and it really gives you an appreciation of Buddha Baker

681
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 6: and Jalen Thompson. It's every August where I realize, okay,

682
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 6: you know what, guess what we need to uh sort

683
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 6: of restart our appreciation for these two guys and don't

684
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 6: take them for granted because they are that good.

685
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 4: It's the last line of defense in that secondary as

686
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 4: far as the safety position. And by the way, we

687
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 4: talk about the wide receiver of that jet stream. Roy

688
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 4: Green participated played in exceled at you are also a

689
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 4: defensive back as well, so you.

690
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 5: Can why everybody laughing and smile them when you say

691
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 5: that everything that'll.

692
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 13: Because nobody does that anymore, but nobody because nobody does that,

693
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 13: it's it's so unheard of, right, I mean, so you

694
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 13: tell us what's your appreciation level for a Buddha Baker

695
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 13: and what he's able to do just they call him

696
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 13: the eraser out there.

697
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 5: Well, what you just said about is that, as you're

698
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 5: talking about Craig, this guy was always open tackler and

699
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 5: so many plays that could have been I mean huge

700
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 5: plays or touchdowns that he saved. And I think that

701
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 5: other teams recognize that because of uh, you know what

702
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 5: he does. As you said, you say, it's not as

703
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 5: splash plays as before, but that is a splash right

704
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 5: when you when you have a guy that has an

705
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 5: opportunity to score a touchdown, a huge, big play and

706
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 5: he makes that that great tackle. Uh, you know that's

707
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 5: what it's about.

708
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

709
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,959
Speaker 5: But yeah, Buddha is he's just a special guy first

710
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 5: and foremost, he's a leader. You know, everybody on that defense,

711
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 5: you know, they listen to him. They understand that he's

712
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 5: gonna always be prepared and he's willing to do whatever

713
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 5: it is and try to uh win his competitions, and

714
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 5: uh that's why he's special. I think that after him

715
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 5: back and being back and seeing him next season, I

716
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 5: think that he's probably knowing him he's probably big. Inn

717
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 5: I need to be up to the actually look closer

718
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 5: than I've been this past here, so he might be

719
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 5: in the box a little more than he has in

720
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 5: the past, and see some of those bone crushing tackles

721
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 5: that he makes as a back coming through what he

722
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 5: thinks is in the gap and all of a sudden

723
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 5: he steps in the and hits him right in the chest. Oh.

724
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 5: I can't wait to see him well.

725
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 6: And I remember in training camp, you know, he came in.

726
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 6: I'm like, dude, I'm like, what did you do in

727
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 6: the offseason?

728
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 12: Yeah?

729
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 6: I put on some upper body weight. He tried to

730
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 6: strengthen his shoulders and his upper body because he had

731
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 6: the shoulder injury the season before. So to your point,

732
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 6: he wanted to be a little more stout in the box,

733
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 6: and so he changed some of his training methods. But

734
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 6: one thing you can never train and or teach, and

735
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 6: it's what Vance Joseph used to say, he runs into

736
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 6: the darkness. He's fearless. He will run in there. I mean,

737
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 6: we all remember the game in Seattle years ago where

738
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 6: he knocked out two Seattle Seahawk running backs. He's by

739
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 6: far the biggest guy in the field, yet he plays

740
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 6: with such a tenacity that is just inherent. It's in

741
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 6: his DNA. You can't teach that.

742
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 5: Eighty and Craig both talked about, you know, about me

743
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 5: playing defense. You know, I was afraid of the darkness.

744
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 5: So that's the move, that's all. I didn't like the darkness.

745
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 5: I need a little night like I need a little nightlight.

746
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 4: The Baker finished with eighty seven total tackles, as I mentioned,

747
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: in Orlando over the weekend for the Pro Bowl, as

748
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 4: was our colleague Danny Sirek. Those two had a conversation

749
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: on Friday, but a Baker reflecting back on his twenty

750
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 4: twenty three season.

751
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 14: I definitely feel like, you know, I've had one of

752
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 14: the best seasons in my career personally. I know, you know,

753
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 14: the individual accolades and stats haven't been there to interceptions

754
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 14: and plays on the football, But I just take what

755
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 14: the offense give me, and I just try to do

756
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 14: my job.

757
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 4: At a high level, and that's exactly what he's done

758
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 4: since twenty seventeen. There is no defensive back that has

759
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 4: more games of ten or more tackles than Buddha Baker.

760
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 4: To your point, Roy, yeah, maybe no splash plays, but

761
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 4: you're making the routine play and how many times do

762
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 4: we see players look for that highlight play versus the

763
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 4: routine play. Buddha Baker makes all the plays just and

764
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 4: get a lot of the other stuff as far as

765
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 4: the interceptions, passes, defense, sacks, but he is making the

766
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 4: sure tackles and also part of that conversation that Buddha

767
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 4: had with Danny Sirek is part of sideline exchange. Buddha

768
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 4: Baker reflecting on what he liked out of gm Mont,

769
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 4: the joustin Ford and head coach Jonathan Gannon in their first.

770
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 14: Year, definitely feel like they've built a foundation of, you know,

771
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 14: the mentality of how you go into work each and

772
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 14: every day and how you prepare as a you know,

773
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 14: of course the student of the game, and this league

774
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 14: is about winning, so that winning culture is definitely something

775
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 14: that I feel like they're bringing over and brought over.

776
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 14: So definitely excited for the future.

777
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 4: Excited to see Buddha Baker play a full season as well,

778
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 4: because you really get the sense of Buddha Baker's value

779
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 4: to the team when he's not on the field. Paul,

780
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 4: and how many games we can sighte off the top

781
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 4: of our head when Budda Baker is either not on

782
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 4: the field, not on the sideline, And how the rest

783
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 4: of the defense or the rest of the team reacts

784
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 4: or dare I say, doesn't react.

785
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 6: And you know what we found out at the end

786
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 6: of the year. A number of Cardinals players on the

787
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 6: defensive side of the ball just flat told me said, look,

788
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 6: almost every game they're purposely going away from number three.

789
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 6: The quarterback will break the huddle, where's number three? Because

790
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 6: I'm going the other way? And there were a number

791
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 6: of games where the final gun would end the red

792
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 6: midfield and guys would say, yeah, hey, guess what, Buddha,

793
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 6: we weren't going your way today. It was in the

794
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 6: game plan. We had no intention of testing you. Ever,

795
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 6: So the lack of spash plays really was the lack

796
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 6: of targets because guys just weren't going after him.

797
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 4: Make sure you get those season ticket priority lists, get

798
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 4: your name on that to see Buddha Baker and the

799
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals at twenty twenty four State Farm Stadium next season.

800
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 4: Good Asycardinals dot com forward slash prior to you list.

801
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 4: This is the Arizona Cardinals radio network.

802
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 9: Kittle has got it and the forty nine ers are

803
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 9: going to the Super Bowl.

804
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 2: Bet on red Beeba Las Vegas.

805
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 9: Come on, Christian McCaffrey's going to his first Super Bowl.

806
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: Rock Verdy's going for Super Bowl.

807
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 9: The forty nine Ers have won this crazy championship game

808
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 9: and they are going to the Super Bowl.

809
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 2: This game is over, and you can doubt the Chiefs.

810
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 15: You can dislike the Chiefs, you can disrespect the Chiefs.

811
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 15: You're gonna have to deal with the Chiefs being the

812
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 15: AFC champions for the fourth time in five seasons. The

813
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 15: Chiefs have the Lamar Hunt Trophy and they're taking it

814
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 15: to Vegas for Super Bowl fifty.

815
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 4: Eight, a rematch four years ago when the Chiefs scored

816
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 4: the game's final twenty one points and beat the forty

817
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 4: nine Ers in Super Bowl fifty four. Now the rematch

818
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 4: if you will.

819
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, the rosters have changed.

820
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 4: But Super Bowl fifty eight coming up on Sunday. By

821
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 4: the way, Greg Papa on forty nine Ers Radio, Mitch

822
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 4: Holtis on Chiefs Radio, as we walking back here to

823
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 4: the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by a seat Geek

824
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 4: your ticket to great Seats. All right, Roy dissects this

825
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 4: matchup on Sunday, the last two teams standing and the

826
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 4: last game to be played of the twenty twenty three season.

827
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 5: Well, there's no surprise for me. Prior to the season,

828
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 5: I felt like, unfortunately I had to say that the

829
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 5: forty nine Ers, you know, man, the man they were,

830
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 5: had the best players, the best eleven players from the

831
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 5: beginning to the middle to the end, and they still

832
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 5: are in the Super Bowl. I think overall team the best.

833
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 5: But I'm not going against that quarterback. I'm not. We

834
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 5: always talk about quarterbacks or the difference between winning and

835
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 5: losing in this NFL. I know a lot of times

836
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 5: you say, hey, the quarterback gets more pressure then they

837
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 5: get most I mean, they get most credit when they

838
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 5: win and they get more when they lose. Well, that's why,

839
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 5: because they indeed they are both of those. He's just

840
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 5: that good. I think that the only difference between this

841
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 5: football team is going to be the fact that the

842
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 5: Chiefs are able to run the football against the forty

843
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 5: nine Ers. That is the only difference. Even with the

844
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 5: best quarterback. They have the best opportunity to run the

845
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 5: ball and the best quarterback and that's why. But as

846
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 5: far as talent, without questioning, the forty nine Ers are

847
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 5: the best team, but they will not win.

848
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 6: And the Niners gave of one hundred and eighty two

849
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 6: yards rushing against Detroit. You know, Kansas City's playing its

850
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 6: best ball. Niners are not playing their best ball right now.

851
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 6: And I love how the Niners Twitter account after that

852
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 6: game clinching call tweeted out against all odds going to

853
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 6: Super Bowl fifty eight. They've literally been favored in every

854
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 6: single game this year, including the playoffs. To your point,

855
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 6: they have arguably the most talented roster in the league

856
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 6: against all odds. As if there's some sort of underdoing,

857
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 6: come on now.

858
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 4: By the way, this matchup not only features two very

859
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 4: good offenses, but two of the top three defenses in

860
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 4: the league. As far as scoring defenses, the Chiefs ranked second,

861
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers ranked third. With that set, I'm

862
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 4: not expecting a low scoring game because you have Patrick

863
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 4: Mahomes and you have Brock Purdy and those offensive weapons.

864
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 4: I'm expecting a little bit of a shootout and then

865
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 4: maybe it gets close in the fourth quarter, Paul, and

866
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 4: it comes down to maybe a defensive stop or a

867
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 4: field goal late. I'm looking forward to this game on Sunday.

868
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 6: Here's the big question. Let's boil it down to this.

869
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 6: Can they stop Travis kelce He has been unstopable in

870
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 6: the playoffs and you saw what he did against Baltimore

871
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 6: eleven catches on eleven targets, a touchdown. I mean, what

872
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 6: are the Niners gonna do against Travis kelcey because he

873
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 6: has been killing teams in the playoffs.

874
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 4: We will see on Sunday forty nine Ers and Chiefs.

875
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 4: Then we'll talk about it next Tuesday. Here on the
