Speaker 4: Week one is always full of surprises, gentlemen, and this

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 4: year's collection of Week one games no exception, especially that

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: final game, which we've learned this morning has cost Air

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 4: Rogers his season only four snaps into his Jets career.

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 4: We though, here are digesting the Cardinals twenty to sixteen

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 4: loss at Washington. Paul was there, Kyle and I were not.

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 4: So let's start with you, kV B. Your initial impressions,

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: Your first impressions, Jonathan Gann Drew Petsing Nick rollis not

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: bad despite the final outcome.

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, overall, I thought it looked pretty good. I think,

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 5: in spite of a lot of the criticism, I think

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 5: this offense had the right game plan going against this defense,

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 5: particularly this defensive front. You know, it looked a little

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 5: bit dinky and donkey, but you know you've got to

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 5: do things early in the game to try to wear

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 5: out that front, to try to take away their pass rush.

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 5: I mean, all these guys want to do is get

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 5: up the field and make plays and hit the quarterback,

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 5: try to affect the game later. And so I think

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: they came out and did the right things. I was

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 5: extremely impressed with the defensive game plan, with the execution

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 5: and in particular the energy. You know, the guy closing

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 5: to the ball, guys flying around, big hits, enthusiasm, big plays,

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 5: pressure on the quarterback, sacks, all those things were not

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 5: a not only a pleasant surprise, it was completely shocking

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 5: to me the way this defense came out and executed.

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 5: It looked like I mean, honestly, and you know, I

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 5: think I've been doing this covering the team for four

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 5: or five years. I don't think I've seen a defense

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 5: play that hard, with that much energy and being that

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 5: physical throughout the course of a ballgame. And that will

46
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 5: serve this team well. And with Jonathan Gannon, look this team,

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 5: they looked well prepared. I think for the most part.

48
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 5: The execution was there. You know, they had some over

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 5: aggressive penalties, you know, perhaps taking in a little bit

50
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 5: too far with the physicality the aggression. But you know,

51
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 5: as as somebody covering this team, or even as somebody

52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 5: that that coaches at at a much lower level of football,

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 5: I'd much rather see that from my players than begging

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 5: them to pick up their intensity and their effort. And

55
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: so all of these things are good, and I think

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 5: that this team will build, and I think that they

57
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 5: will learn from some of the mistakes they made this

58
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 5: game and really pick things up going forward.

59
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 4: And from your vantage point, Paul, we'll touch more specifically

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: on what I thought was the biggest surprise. The biggest

61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 4: takeaway Week one for the Cardinals was the defense. But

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: your view from field level, Paul, operationally, it looked very smooth,

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: much like we saw in the preseason.

64
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 6: I mean, for a quarterback who'd been around two plus weeks,

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 6: they weren't fighting the play clock. I think I told

66
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 6: both of you guys, I went back to a lot

67
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 6: of the broadcasts from last season and trying to get

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 6: ready for Paulleague preseason and the booth and all that,

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 6: and you forget how often the Cardinals were battling the

70
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 6: play clock. So game operation, it matters, it's significant, and

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 6: that was clean. To your guys point, this looks like

72
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 6: a well coached team. I did like the approach on offense,

73
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 6: trying to wear out that front four, that front seven,

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 6: try goes sideline a sidelines. So yeah, it looked like

75
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 6: a lot like last season at times, as you're going horizontally,

76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 6: you're going latterly. But you had three takeaways. As a defense,

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 6: you had six sacks. How many games do you win

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 6: in that scenario. I mean most of the time the

79
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 6: analytics say you're gonna win in a ninety percent clip.

80
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 6: I didn't mind the Kaisier White personal foul. I think

81
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 6: that did set a tone, and he's got beef with

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 6: that team from his days in the same division. It

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 6: was the three other personal fouls you could have done without,

84
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 6: There's no question about that. But I think they sent

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 6: a message it's a well prepared team. It's a team

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 6: that's gonna be physical. They may not win their share

87
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 6: of gains, but they're not gonna get punked physically, which

88
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 6: you couldn't say all of last year. And that front

89
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 6: seven they're rotating guys in, and Dennis Gardex said exactly

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 6: what we said after the game. Not only you competing

91
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 6: against the other team, you're competing against the guys in

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 6: your room and your position group, because guess what, I

93
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 6: think there's this air of uncomfortability in that locker room

94
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 6: and if you don't perform.

95
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: You're gone. Cardinals also won the turnover battle. They were

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 4: plus one in that category. But again, the only really

97
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 4: stat that matters at the end of the day is

98
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: what's up on the scoreboard, and the Cardinals lost twenty

99
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 4: to sixteen. As we put the spotlights on the offense,

100
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs, getting his third career start first with the

101
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 4: Cardinals in the offense sputtered. It did not look good.

102
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: Just ninety three yards in the second half, two hundred

103
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: and ten total yards in the game. The two biggest

104
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 4: plays first quarter, the Rondel Moore swing pass, the Hollywood

105
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: Brown end around that totaled sixty yards Between those two plays.

106
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: The remaining fifty six plays totaled one hundred and fifty yards.

107
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: Here's Dobbs after the game on what he saw or

108
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 4: what he didn't see out of the offense.

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 7: No, he's just got to do better situationally in the

110
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 7: red zone. You're so hard to get down there. You

111
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 7: gotta get seven points, and that's what game came down to.

112
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 7: And our two turnovers on offense, you know, defensive a

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 7: phenomenal job of rallying to the ball day, forcing turnovers,

114
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 7: big defensive touchdown. So on offense, we have finish drives.

115
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 7: We got to score touchdowns and it starts with so

116
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 7: especially with the turnovers, just executing on better situationally.

117
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 4: Turnover in the third quarter, turnover in the fourth quarter,

118
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: both lost fumbles by Dobbs, as he heard him mention

119
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 4: the red zone as well, Kyle oh for two in

120
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: the red zone, settling for field goals rather than getting

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: into the end zone.

122
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

123
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 4: There, it was a throw to Zach Ertz a little high,

124
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: but Ertz able to get both hands on the football.

125
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: He mentioned postgame he should have come down with that,

126
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: and if he does, then all of a sudden. That's

127
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: an extra four points, and now we've got a tie

128
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 4: ball game, and we'll see what happens after that.

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and at first glance you look at the third

130
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 5: down production four or fourteen. That's not going to win

131
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: you ball games. But Jonathan Gannon alluded to this both

132
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 5: postgame and then the day after and his presser that

133
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: the issue was what was happening on first down. You

134
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 5: mentioned the sack strip turnover at the end of the

135
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: third quarter. From that point forward, they only had two

136
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 5: positive plays on first down. So they're getting behind the

137
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 5: sticks against an aggressive defensive front. It's not a situation

138
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: you want to get into. You don't want to be

139
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: in second long, and you certainly don't want to be

140
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 5: and third and long. So you know, this team, for

141
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 5: whatever reason, the offense was not really it didn't feel

142
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 5: like they had a rhythm that they were building one

143
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 5: playoff of another and able to execute and really keep

144
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 5: Washington guessing. It felt like, you know, they were just

145
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 5: kind of out of sorts. They were just kind of

146
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 5: picking plays out of a playbook and running them and

147
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: not getting not building towards something. In the fourth quarter,

148
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 5: because really, this offense, for the most part was non

149
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 5: existent past the end of the third quarter. So the

150
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 5: biggest thing to me is, yeah, that that that's what

151
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 5: has to be fixed, particularly late in the game when

152
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 5: when it counts, when this offense was needed to convert

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 5: get first down, to move the ball down the field

154
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 5: and get some points. They really struggled on first down,

155
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 5: and there was multiple guys in the backfield hitting running

156
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: backs and getting after quarterbacks throughout that fourth quarter.

157
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: Your referenced Jonathan Gennon. Let's hear from the head coach

158
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: before we continue dissecting what went wrong for the Cardinals

159
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 4: on offense.

160
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 8: The negative yardish plays, you know, and that kind of

161
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 8: set us back on some things. And you're playing the

162
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 8: game in third and long all day. It's tough. You know.

163
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 8: That's a good defense and they execute well and they

164
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 8: give you a lot of different things. So I think

165
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 8: to help ourselves out, we got to eliminate some of

166
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 8: the negative yardage plays. Obviously the two turnovers you want

167
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 8: to turn the ball over, Those were two critical plays,

168
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 8: but all things that we can correct moving forward, and

169
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 8: I think Josh will have a good week and we'll

170
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 8: operate a little bit better.

171
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: To Gannon's point, Paul fourteen negative plays. There were fifty

172
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: eight total plays run. Cardinals lost forty six yards on

173
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: those fourteen plays. And then the third down fourteen third

174
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: down opportunities. Six of those fourteen Cardinals were staring at

175
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 4: third and ten or more and they failed on all

176
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: six of those.

177
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a big goal this week. You got to

178
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 6: get into third and manageable much more often. I think

179
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 6: the ball will go downfield a lot more. That's the

180
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 6: product I think losing yardage and trying to go laterally

181
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 6: along the line of scrimmage and trying to the defense

182
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 6: goes sideline to sideline. I get it. As zach Ertz

183
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 6: said after the game, quote, this should be the worst

184
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 6: performance we have as an offense all season long. Might

185
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 6: be the best defensive line they go against. Now, Dallas

186
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 6: might have something to say about that based on what

187
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 6: they just did to the Giants. And the only team

188
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: right now with more sacks in the NFL than the

189
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 6: Cardinals they have seven. The Cardinals is a team have six.

190
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 6: I thought Josh Dobbs was at his best late in

191
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 6: the first half when they put him on the run,

192
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 6: when they got him on the move. Remember he's one

193
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 6: of the all time great sec running quarterbacks in conference history.

194
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 6: He's up there with the Luminaries all time. When they

195
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 6: got him on the run late in the second quarter

196
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 6: and he made consecutive passes to Trey McBride, both for

197
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 6: double digit yardage. He just looked comfortable. Those passes were

198
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 6: right on the money, and it was when he was

199
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 6: standing in the pocket and at times, as Jonathan Gannon

200
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 6: said after the game, holding onto the ball too long.

201
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 6: That contributed, I think to a lot of the problems

202
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 6: that Cardinals had, and the old line I think at

203
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 6: times was put under dress because the quarterback wasn't as

204
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 6: decisive as he needed to be in getting rid of

205
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 6: the ball as quickly as he might. Perhaps this week

206
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 6: now he's a little more comfortable in the system.

207
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: And this week it was announced on Monday that yeah,

208
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 4: Dobbs will get the starts in week two, So go

209
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: back to Sunday. Postgame, Dobbs asked where he thinks the

210
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 4: biggest improvement will come this week.

211
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 7: I think a huge jump as in store, you know,

212
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 7: just getting out there, getting the flow of the game right,

213
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 7: getting on the flow with the guys, timing rhythm, and

214
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 7: the game's always different than practice. Sometimes again they're you know,

215
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 7: playing ball can definitely make a huge jump, and I

216
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 7: expect to make a huge jump, especially situationally.

217
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 4: And then the penalties because that drive that you were

218
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 4: referring to Paul, the back to back chunk plays to McBride, Well,

219
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: there was a third and nine. DJ Humphreys gets called

220
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 4: for holding and all of a sudden becomes third and nineteen.

221
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: In the second half, there was momentum and then once

222
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 4: again Trey McBride a false start and then there was

223
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: the ineligible man downfield Hernandez that costs the Cardinals a

224
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: sixteen yard catch to Jeff Swain which could have been

225
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: the difference and maybe another field goal attempt if not

226
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 4: a touchdown. So eliminates half of the nine penalties. And

227
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: sometimes it's not the number, but when those penalties are occurring.

228
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 6: So the good news is those are all correctable, right

229
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 6: what happens now? Is that going to be a persistent

230
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 6: theme through the rest of the season like it was

231
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 6: a year ago when the Cardinals led the NFL and

232
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 6: pre snap penalties and were top three in penalties overall,

233
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 6: or are they going to correct those? Is that something

234
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 6: because you didn't figure football IQ to be an issue

235
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 6: with this team. In fact, I think they constructed this

236
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 6: team with that in mind. So based on the operation

237
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 6: being clean and now Josh Dobbs hopefully being that much

238
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 6: more comfortable, you won't have some of these issues that

239
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 6: you saw there. But it's an offense that obviously can't

240
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 6: afford the self inflicted errors. There's no way.

241
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: They just don't have the talent right now, Kyle, to

242
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: be able to overcome those self inflicted mistakes.

243
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a complete one eighty from what most of

244
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 5: us expected. We expected this offense was going to have

245
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 5: to score a lot of points because the defense would

246
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 5: take some time to develop and become a good defense.

247
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 5: It looks like from this point forward, this offense needs

248
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 5: to be a ball control offense. Obviously you need to

249
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 5: make some big plays, but you know, this defense is

250
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 5: capable of being a really good defense and holding offenses

251
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 5: to minimal score throughout the course of a game. So

252
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: this offense can't do things to beat itself.

253
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: Speaking of the Cardinals defense, Captain All Pro safety Buddha

254
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: Baker is the latest guest on The Day Patch podcast.

255

257
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 4: Cardinals Red Steaperport. We will talk about that Cardinals defensive effort,

258
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: a very strong effort Week one. This is the Arizona

259
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 4: Cardinals Radio Network.

260
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: Back to pass, holl off play action moving to his left,

261
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: firing your side at tipped and picked off by Zaban Collins.

262
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: That is a huge play for the Cardinals.

263
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: Makes the staff straight drop, looking in trouble, hit and

264
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: sack picked up by gar Deck and Souplex.

265
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: And they're doing a party. It's a little dance the

266
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: strobe of tennis. Guardiack right there.

267
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: Al's gonna pass, straight drop and trouble be chased by

268
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: guard Deck and he fumbles the ball and it's picked

269
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: up at the two yard line and it's a touchdown

270
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: picked up by Cam Thomas after the force fumbled by

271
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: gar Deck.

272
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: Knock the pig out of the barn, baby, we got

273
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: a pig rolling on the ground, picked up touchdown.

274
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: Three takeaways, six sacs, seven passes, defense, one play allowed

275
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 4: longer than twenty yards, holding the Commanders to just four

276
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: of twelve on third down. Quite the first impression by

277
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 4: this Cardinals defense under defensive coordinator Nick Ralis. As we say,

278
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 4: welcome back, it is the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented

279
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: by Seek Your Tick Get to Great Seats, Greg Raya,

280
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: lukav and Abosch and Paul Calvic. Yes, the Cardinals did

281
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: not win on Sunday. They lose twenty to sixteen, but

282
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 4: certainly a surprise and a pleasant surprise at that with

283
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: the way the Cardinals defense played before we discussed that.

284
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 4: But we get the head coaches impressions. Here's Jonathan Gannon.

285
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 8: What I was really pleased about was the tackling, you know,

286
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 8: as far as being in the right spots and things

287
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 8: like that. I thought we were pretty good. We need

288
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 8: to get better because I thought we left some plays

289
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 8: out there from an execution standpoint on defense. We got

290
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 8: to get cleaned up in the back end and the

291
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 8: front all eleven. But I liked how we flew around.

292
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 8: I like how we attacked the ball. We took the

293
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 8: ball away, which was good. We got off on third

294
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 8: now we need to It was very good.

295
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: Paul, you were there front and center and by the way,

296
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: for what it's worth, According to Pro Football Reference, the

297
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: Cardinals only missed two tackles in that game on Sunday.

298
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 5: It's funny.

299
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 6: Last week in the locker room. It was making small

300
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 6: talk with Jalen Thompson and I told him, I said,

301
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 6: you know, every preseason, you know, one of my big

302
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 6: takeaways is to remind mysel off how much we need

303
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 6: to appreciate the open field tackling of Buddha Baker and

304
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 6: Jalen Thompson, because when they're not out there, when you

305
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 6: see Cardinals defense without deals two guys, you realize open

306
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 6: field tackling isn't nearly the given it is with those

307
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 6: two Pro Bowl caliber safeties, right so, and you saw it,

308
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 6: and the whole key Trell Clark, he tackled and he

309
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 6: was not a liability out there. In fact, we didn't

310
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 6: call his name a whole bunch and that's a really

311
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 6: good thing because he didn't call Terry mclaurin's name very much.

312
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 6: He did not wreck that game. As it turned out,

313
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 6: Cardinals defense went out there and look, not only did

314
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 6: they get off the field, but they result in that

315
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 6: sold out stadium. It wasn't just raining precipitation. It was

316
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 6: raining booze two or three different times. That's how dominant

317
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 6: the Cardinals defense was. That's how bad Sam Howell and

318
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 6: that offense looked at different times. During that game, five

319
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 6: different players recorded a sack. Dennis Kardek had two, but

320
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 6: Kyle it was three sacks by the outside linebackers, three

321
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 6: sacks by the defensive line. And that was the big

322
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 6: question going into this season, where is the pass rush

323
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 6: going to come from. Well, for Week one, that question

324
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 6: has been answered.

325
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 5: And that's huge. That's a huge development for this team.

326
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 5: I mean, we were all talking about how is this

327
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 5: team gonna manufacture pressure? And when you are a team

328
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 5: that needs to manufacture pressure because you can't get it

329
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 5: with your guys up front, you're putting your guys in

330
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 5: the back end in a bind. And that wasn't the

331
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 5: problem this game. I mean the guys up front to me,

332
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: I mean I kind of expected one or two of

333
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: these outside rushers because I know they've got ability, I

334
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 5: know they've got talent to be able to get back

335
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 5: there and get pressure. I didn't necessarily expect it from

336
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: the interior. And there were some quick wins, there were

337
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 5: some violent pass rushes. There was you know this defense

338
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 5: and Jonathan again referenced this, they did a tremendous job

339
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 5: of tackling and closing on defenders. I mean, every nearly

340
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 5: every single game you look at the stat sheet and

341
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 5: you're leading tackler is Buddha Baker, which says a lot

342
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: about Buddha Baker, but it also says if he's not

343
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 5: making those tackles, we're giving up huge plays. Because when

344
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 5: your safeties you're leading tackler, you've got a few issues

345
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 5: on your defense. And I just harkened back to the

346
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 5: end season hard Knocks last year when Billy Davis said,

347
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: you know, if we had eleven Buddha Bakers, just think

348
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 5: how good our defense could be. It almost looked like

349
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 5: that the way it's not just that they're tackling, well,

350
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 5: they're tackling with intent and they have the type of

351
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 5: violence that Jonathan Gannon is talking about, and that will

352
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 5: not just serve this team. Well, you know, in a

353
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 5: Washington game against the Commanders, like teams got to account

354
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 5: for that, They got to account for this defensive speed,

355
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 5: They got to account for how intense this defense plays

356
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 5: and how hard they hit. And you will see quarterbacks

357
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 5: fall down, You'll see running backs decide to step out

358
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 5: of bounds. You'll see receivers get alligator arms because of

359
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: the things that they've seen on tape. And I love it,

360
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 5: you know, just just as a football fan, what I'm

361
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 5: looking for with this team is a team that I

362
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 5: can be proud of and proud of the type of

363
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 5: effort and intensity they play with. And I was extremely

364
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 5: proud of this defense and the way they played in,

365
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 5: the attitude they played with, and the message that they

366
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 5: sent again not just to the Commanders but to the

367
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 5: rest of the league that they are going to bring

368
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: it every single week.

369
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 6: And that's the one thing you can control that's under

370
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 6: your control, the energy, effort, intensity. And it's a great

371
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 6: point by Kyle. How many times last season do you

372
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 6: say there's Buddha Baker and everyone else ten other guys. Now,

373
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 6: those guys at least have elevated their intensity to the

374
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 6: level of Buddha Baker. Maybe not realistic that they're going

375
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 6: to be all Pro Pro Bowl caliber players, but if

376
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 6: you can at least fly around like Buddha Baker, guess what,

377
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 6: you're giving yourself a chance.

378
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 4: You look at the top three, top top three tacklers,

379
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 4: Kaiser White, Kavon Wallace, Michael Wilson or excuse me, Marco

380
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 4: Wilson and Jonathan Ledbetter. You have to scroll down a

381
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 4: little ways Buddha Baker only had five tackles, and I

382
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't have to go back and do

383
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 4: some research here, Paul, I don't know the last time

384
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: Buddha Baker finished with fewer than eight tackles and a game,

385
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: let alone five, he was wouldn't say non existent. But

386
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: to our point here on this conversation, there are enough

387
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: players surrounding Buddha that may be he doesn't feel he

388
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 4: has to do all the work and think about it.

389
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 6: Other than Buddha and Kaiser White, Jalen Thompson who left

390
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 6: for one snap, and then the corners, all the other

391
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 6: players in that defense were coming in in waves, in rotations,

392
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 6: so it's even more impressive they had that sort of

393
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 6: production they ended up in the stat sheet because you

394
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 6: know the D line, there's many guys going through the

395
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 6: outside linebackers even more guys, and so there's fresh legs.

396
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 6: They're competing against each other. And Kyle's knows this a

397
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 6: lot better than I do. I firmly think that they

398
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 6: were given those offensive tackles and those old linemen different

399
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 6: looks because there's different guys at different times with different

400
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 6: body types, and they're just changing things up it's like

401
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 6: bringing a different pitcher in a lefty to a righty

402
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 6: and a sinker ball guy versus a hard thrower, and

403
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, it's hard to get a beat

404
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 6: on if you're one of those offensive linemen.

405
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 4: Dennis Gardeck, as I mentioned, had two sacks. It was

406
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: certainly impressive to watch him, especially on the spin move

407
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 4: that forced the ball out that Cameron Thomas was able

408
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: to scoop up and score for the only touchdown in

409
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: the game. I don't think Gannon on what he has

410
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 4: seen out of Gardak now only on Sunday, but since

411
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 4: Gannon arrived.

412
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 8: Ultimate Pro one of our captains, you know, does a

413
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 8: lot for us. We put a lot on his plate

414
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 8: and he's a playmaker for us. He always has a

415
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 8: good attitude. He's a team first guy all the time,

416
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 8: very knowledgeable, and I value his opinion about certain things.

417
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 8: You know, I talk to him a lot, and I'm

418
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 8: glad we have him.

419
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: Two sacks on Sunday. Gardak had one sack over the

420
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: past two seasons combined. So perhaps getting back to that

421
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty performance in which he had seven sacks over

422
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 4: ninety four snaps, it surprised a lot of people, but

423
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 4: that entire outside linebacker group, whether it was Victor d

424
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 4: mccagee Zavin Collins who we saw dropping the coverage on

425
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 4: the interception. But to your point, Paul, and I'd like

426
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: to get Kyle's thoughts on this, when you have five deep,

427
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 4: six deep at that position, because I'm including Jesse Lucetta

428
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: as well, who played eighteen snaps on defense. Everyone had

429
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: a hand in that game. Luketa maybe more on offense

430
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 4: than he did on defense. But that constant rotation of

431
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 4: edge rushers that sometimes can be a negative because you

432
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 4: don't have a guy, but in the case on Sunday

433
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 4: was a positive because you had a number of different

434
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 4: guys that were getting into the backfield.

435
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, you're exactly right. I would much rather

436
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 5: have three or four guys that are good pass rushers

437
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 5: that bring at every single play than than one guy

438
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 5: who's a fifteen SAT guy. I mean, when they never

439
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 5: know where the pressure is gonna come from, they don't

440
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 5: know who's gonna get beat on the offensive line. That's

441
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 5: a problem for for offenses. And you know, when you

442
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 5: are bringing fresh bodies in and everybody is capable, like

443
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 5: you said, it's not just a matter of everybody got

444
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 5: in and got playing time. Everybody showed up on the

445
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 5: stat sheet. There was It seemed like every time a

446
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 5: play was made on defense, it came from a different

447
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 5: defensive player. And you know, that's what makes a good defense.

448
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 5: It's not you know, a good player at every level,

449
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 5: or a great player at every level. It's good players

450
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 5: on the field. And we talked about this off the

451
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 5: air before the show started. Craig, like, after this game,

452
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 5: after an entire game, I didn't see any breakdowns. I

453
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 5: didn't see any mental ayers. I didn't see wide receivers

454
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 5: running wide open. I don't see a liability on this defense.

455
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 5: I don't see the Giants sitting in their meeting rooms

456
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 5: right now saying, hey, this player is not good. We

457
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 5: need to take advantage of him. This player won't show

458
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 5: up or won't come up and make a tackle or

459
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 5: be a physical player, we need to run at him.

460
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 5: You know, it seems like this defense is solid all

461
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 5: the way through, at every position, playing their techniques, playing well,

462
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 5: playing with an attitude. And again, it's so good to

463
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 5: see because I you know, sometimes you try to hide

464
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 5: your weaknesses on defense, and I just don't see one

465
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 5: at this point.

466
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: Paul, you brought it up earlier in the show, the

467
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 4: competition amongst position groups. Here's Dennis Gardak on just that topic.

468
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 9: It's a group that has a chip on their shoulder

469
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 9: and wants to prove something. Scrappy kind of comes to mind.

470
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 9: But we're just just tenacious, I think is a better word.

471
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 9: Everybody wants something out there.

472
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 4: And Gardick added when he addressed the media on Monday,

473
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 4: that they're all rooting for each other. It's not like, oh, well,

474
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 4: you're getting yours and now I need to get mine.

475
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 4: It's like, no, they're cheering on one another and it's

476
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 4: that okay, well Gardick just got two sacks. Okay, now

477
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 4: you're Victor. D mcagey's like, okay, got one. But I

478
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 4: also had a force fumble as well. That they're competing

479
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 4: amongst themselves in a good way for the betterment of

480
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 4: the team.

481
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 6: You know, we had LJ. Collier, defensive lineman of the

482
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 6: Big Red Rage last week. I just found his quote

483
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 6: he said, and this is before the game, obviously quote.

484
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 6: I feel like we're going to show the world we're

485
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 6: more than what they say we are. There was definitely

486
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 6: a chip on the shoulder pad of the defense. They've heard,

487
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 6: all the noise, they've heard all the disrespect. Now does

488
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 6: that matter ultimately when the game starts. Sometimes sometimes it does.

489
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 6: Sometimes it can motivate guys. You know, this is in college.

490
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 6: You can't be much better than maybe what you are.

491
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 6: But I do think that a lot of these guys

492
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 6: have been underrated. And as a unit with Kaiser White

493
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 6: running things, they just were sound. They were getting in

494
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 6: and out of the checks, they were adjusting. There was

495
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff. I guess my understanding is there

496
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 6: was a lot of stuff they did not show.

497
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 8: And if you.

498
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 6: Think about that offensive system, Eric the Enemy brings from

499
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 6: Kansas City, Mike Kafka, the offensive coordinator for the Giants,

500
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 6: comes from a similar system. So I think it's going

501
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 6: to be a pretty seamless transition from week one to

502
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 6: week two defensively to game plan for a Giants offense

503
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 6: that has a lot in common with what they just

504
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 6: saw that the enemy just brought. I think that's going

505
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 6: to play to their advantage. Here's what else is going

506
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 6: to play their advantage. Two of the Giants' top three

507
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 6: offensive tackles are likely going to miss this game. Andrew

508
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 6: Thomas did not finish that game. Their left tackle with

509
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 6: a hamstring injury. The backup came in suffered an elbow injury,

510
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 6: so they could really be undermanned at those two tackle

511
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 6: positions the Giants. That's advantage Cardinals.

512
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 4: Cardinals looks great on defense, and we talk about the

513
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 4: rotation of players. Only a handful played every single snap,

514
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 4: Buoda Baker, Kei, tro Clark, Whites, and Marco Wilson. Other

515
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 4: than that, it was a solid rotation to keep bodies fresh,

516
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 4: especially in the front four. And I think that's paramount.

517
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: Not only does it keep guys engaged on the sideline

518
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 4: Kyle if they're not playing, but yeah, you want to

519
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: be able to get fresh and get home, especially in

520
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 4: the second half.

521
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like Philadelphia's defense last year, right. Just

522
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 5: I mean, you you've got a rotation, you're bringing new

523
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 5: guys in, You're bringing fresh guys in. And to Paully's point,

524
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 5: you know, having conversations with the offensive tackles and what

525
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 5: they struggle with. It's not necessarily preparing for the starter.

526
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 5: Like offensive tackles do a good job of studying. They

527
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 5: figure out what your best moves are, how they're gonna

528
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 5: block you how they're going to approach their third down

529
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: pass protection. It's when that backup comes in and he's

530
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 5: a completely different pass rusher and he has a different

531
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 5: set of tools, and you know, when you're having to

532
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 5: prepare for two, three, four different pass rushers and trying

533
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 5: to stop their best moves, you know, it's it's extremely

534
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 5: difficult for these offensive tackles. So it's I'm just again,

535
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 5: I'm so pressed with you know, the constant pressure they

536
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 5: got on the quarterback. But you know, on top of that,

537
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 5: a lot of it is is how good of a

538
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 5: job we did on the back end. You know, a

539
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 5: lot of the conversation going into this game, and a

540
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 5: lot of the fear was how deep they were in

541
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 5: the talent they had at the wide receiver position. You know,

542
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 5: when their leading receiver has five catches and it's not

543
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 5: Terry McLaurin and he only has two catches, one of

544
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 5: you know, in my opinion, one of the top five

545
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 5: receivers in the NFL. A guy that, regardless of which

546
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 5: guy he which player he had at quarterback over the

547
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 5: last few years, was always productive. Seemed like every time

548
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 5: he looked in the box score, he had you know,

549
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 5: eight nine catches for one hundred plus yards, and to

550
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 5: hold him to just two catches and thirty one yards.

551
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 5: I mean, really again, at every level, they did a

552
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 5: tremendous job of going out there and executing.

553
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 4: And stopping the run as well. Three point three yards

554
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 4: per carry is what that defense allowed overall, just two

555
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 4: hundred and forty eight yards of offense allowed, and it

556
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 4: comes in a loss though twenty to sixteen. Cardinals now

557
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 4: put their sites and attention on the New York Giants,

558
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 4: which comes up on Sunday one oh five is the kickoff.

559
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 4: Pregame coverage begins at six thirty e excuse me, no,

560
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 4: eight thirty eight am, as I quickly do some math here,

561
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: because yeah, that was the week ago. Oh Mark Calvis,

562
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: it's the airways at five thirty in the morning.

563
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 6: You're still thrown by the forty to nothing final score

564
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 6: of the Giants lost in week one. Ouch, And I'm

565
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 6: sure if that's a good or bad thing for the

566
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 6: Cardinals coming up this week. We'll get into that as

567
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 6: we continue. We have hit halftime here on the Cardinals

568
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 6: Red Sea Report presented by Seki Your ticket to great

569
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 6: seats here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Good physical

570
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 6: start for the Cardinals.

571
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 3: That is a mentality and I love it.

572
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: The Cardinals physicality is triggered some big plays Cardinals again

573
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: after the play, pushing and shoving. A message has been sent, though,

574
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: what is that message?

575
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: David?

576
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 2: That messages we will fight you? What's in there? Throwing hands?

577
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 6: They like that?

578
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 3: Wolf Yeah, you got that right.

579
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: That's all I get. Wolf Yeah, bro Holt throwing hands.

580
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: Give me a little love on that love. Bad nights

581
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 2: bought at the forty five and thrilled again Dennis Gardeck

582
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 2: with the hit.

583
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: Sometimes you're the meat stick and sometimes you're the carnival.

584
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 3: And I think Dennis Gardeck is picking turning the corn

585
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: out of his teeth.

586
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 4: A lot of physicality seen on Sunday and Washington. Cardinals

587
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 4: lose the game twenty to sixteen, but to Dave Patch

588
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 4: and Ron wolf Lee's credit on the play by play,

589
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 4: perhaps a message since not only to the commanders, the

590
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 4: rest of the league, and maybe even to the players themselves,

591
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 4: that hey, we are not going to be pushed around

592
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 4: on the football field. When the game is underways, we

593
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 4: say welcome back. It is the Cardinals red seat report

594
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 4: presented by Seek Your Ticket to Great Seats, Craig Raya,

595
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: Lupaul calBC and Kyle Van and Boshton's Ball Paul Stins.

596
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: Kyle played the game, maybe we need to let him

597
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 4: lead the discussion here on the physicality of football. There

598
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 4: was maybe a little bit of an extra physicality at times,

599
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: a couple of personal foul penalties. But the Kaiser White

600
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: play is what I know A lot of people are

601
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 4: pointing to one. You got to be smarter. Yet the

602
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 4: same time, something that Paul and I discussed earlier in

603
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 4: the week. Maybe maybe if it happens just once, to

604
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: let everyone know, as long as it doesn't happen ever, again,

605
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 4: I'm okay.

606
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: I agree.

607
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 5: Look well, first of all, I appreciate letting me speak

608
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: about it because Paul's been a meat stick his whole life.

609
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 6: Hey, we'll talk Leland High School football after the show

610
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 6: breakout session.

611
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 5: No, Hey, I love that hit. I mean I was

612
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 5: watching it at home and I stood up off the

613
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 5: couch and it got me fired up. I mean, you

614
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 5: do have to be smart and look this, they're trying

615
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 5: to legislate some of those hits out of the game.

616
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 5: But I want a team that is on the edge,

617
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 5: I particularly on defense, and Wolf talks about this all

618
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 5: the time, like as a coach, you want to have

619
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 5: to tell your players whoe and not go. And you know,

620
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 5: there was some of the most physical football on the

621
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 5: defensive side of the ball that I have seen since

622
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 5: I've been covering the Cardinals in and it not only

623
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 5: look the penalty sucks, but nobody's hanging their heads after

624
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: a hit like that and you get a penalty, some

625
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 5: penalties are deflating. That one inspired and charged up the

626
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: entire team. I mean, there's certain things you can do

627
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 5: throughout the course of a game that really gets your

628
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 5: team fired up. It's big plays. It sacks, but big hits,

629
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 5: big violent hits ones that I mean he ended up

630
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 5: hitting him so hard he hit the referee that was

631
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 5: standing five yards behind him. I mean it was you know,

632
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 5: you'd love to see that in between the white lines.

633
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 5: But at the same time, like you know, there is

634
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 5: certain players on defense in particular that you know are

635
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: bell cows that they raised the level of play of

636
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 5: every single player around them, and Kaiser White is that

637
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 5: type of player, and that type of hit raised the

638
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 5: level of intensity, not just of the defense but of

639
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 5: the tire team, you know, for the guys that were

640
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 5: wondering what you know, a lot of young players on

641
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 5: this team, a lot of new players on this team.

642
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 5: They're wondering what the NFL is like. They're wondering what

643
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 5: this defense is going to be like. And to your point,

644
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 5: that play, even though it was, you know, outside of

645
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 5: the rules and it was a little bit questionable whether

646
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 5: he should have made that hit, I think it charged

647
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 5: the entire team and sent the message we are here.

648
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 5: We do feel disrespected, but we're going to show people

649
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 5: what we're all about.

650
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 6: I saw on the sideline what Kayzer White was named captain.

651
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 6: He was working the sideline. He's in the faces of

652
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 6: all the players, good and bad, positive and negative. He

653
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 6: reminded me of a Carlos Danzy back in the day

654
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 6: of Larry Food, of Jordan Hicks. He's that Mike linebacker.

655
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 6: There's no doubt about it. As for the hit, it soft. Look,

656
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 6: the reality is you hit the quarterback too hard, they're

657
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 6: gonna find a way to flag you up. That I

658
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 6: think there was some of that. I also think is

659
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 6: my own theory that there was a little bit of

660
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 6: the whole Cliff Kingsbury effect was his first game in

661
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 6: the NFL twenty nineteen, when the whole clap thing and

662
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 6: they kept flagging up the clap. How many times did

663
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 6: Jonathan Ganness say, we're gonna play a violent brand of defense?

664
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 6: And then of course the Twitter clip right went viral.

665
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 6: I want killers, So I think, well, bit, maybe the

666
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 6: officiating crew had a bit of an agenda. Okay, coach,

667
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 6: your brand new to the league. This is how it

668
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 6: works in the NFL. We're gonna call things accordingly, and

669
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 6: we're gonna have zero tolerance for some of this. Perhaps

670
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 6: send a message like they did to Cliff Kingsbury when

671
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 6: he brought the whole cadence thing from the college games.

672
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 4: It was that same drive in which not only was

673
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: White penalized, but Jalen Thompson penalized as well, And it

674
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 4: was the same penalty lowering the head to make forcable contact.

675
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: They're trying to take that out of the game. There's

676
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 4: a way to make a physical and intense a violent hit,

677
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 4: but within the rules, and that was not happening at

678
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 4: least initially in that ballgame. And to Jonathan Gannon's credit,

679
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: he did take accountability because he has been preaching that violence,

680
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 4: that aggress but he also wants his players to be smart.

681
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 4: But to your points. As far as the mentality within

682
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 4: that locker room, Dennis Gardek talked about that on Monday.

683
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 9: We got dogs in our room. I'll say that we've

684
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 9: got dogs in our room. Nobody's worried about anything dropping

685
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 9: off with X, Y or Z in the game. It's

686
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 9: now we're all hunting. We're all this together, and we're

687
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 9: all confident with whoever is out there.

688
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 4: That goes back to something that I think we had

689
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 4: a conversation a year ago Kyle about defensively, we were

690
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 4: good with the starting eleven. It was a question mark, Okay,

691
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 4: what is the drop off when someone has to come

692
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 4: off the field either for a rest or they are

693
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: hurts and are missing extensive time. There was going to

694
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 4: be that massive drop off between the first team and

695
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 4: the second team. Well, we saw on Sunday that at

696
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 4: least among defensive linemen and outside linebackers, there is no

697
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 4: drop off because you're rolling out five different six different

698
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 4: players at each of those positions.

699
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look there's equal parts of credit for that.

700
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 5: I think Mantea Sapford has brought the right players into

701
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: this organization, the ones that buy into the culture, the

702
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 5: ones that are listening and taking in with Jonathan Gannon

703
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 5: and Nick Rolis are telling them, you know, I think

704
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 5: this coaching staff has done a tremendous job. You can't

705
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 5: play fast, you can't play violent unless you know what

706
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 5: to do or you know, we've had players in this

707
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 5: organization that play fast, play violent, but don't always know

708
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 5: what to do, and it's been a liability for this defense.

709
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 5: So once you know you have the defense buttoned up, starters, backups, whoever,

710
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 5: rotational guys, you didn't notice it, you know you didn't.

711
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 5: I don't see this coaching staff saying, hey, we just

712
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 5: got to survive these three plays while we give our

713
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 5: good players a rest. It is I expect a player

714
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 5: A or player B, if they're on the field, to

715
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 5: go out and execute the same to go out and

716
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 5: play with the same type of type of intensity, to

717
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 5: go out and play with the same type of leadership

718
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 5: out on that football field. And you know, to me,

719
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: the biggest thing with this game, particularly with the defense,

720
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 5: is it is a direct sign that we have the

721
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 5: right culture, We have the right buy in. Players are

722
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 5: listening to and believing and trusting this coaching staff and

723
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 5: then going out and doing the things that they asked

724
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 5: him to do.

725
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 6: You know, the head coach gave Rob Rodriguez, the outside

726
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 6: linebackers coach, a shout out at the end of his

727
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 6: Monday press conference just for the upward arc of the

728
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 6: outside linebackers. How much improvement they've seen from OTAs through

729
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 6: mini camp, through training camp and the preseason games to

730
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 6: what they just put on display week one. Victor d

731
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 6: Mucage looks like a different pass rusher. He actually has

732
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 6: an array of moves right now. Dennis Kardak has talked

733
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 6: more than once about how no longer he's a guy

734
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 6: off the edge. He just brings furious athleticism and sort

735
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 6: of figures it out on the fly. No, he's got

736
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 6: a plan, he's got counter moves. I think Zam and

737
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 6: Collins right now is desperately trying to develop that second move.

738
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 6: And so these are guys who are learning and they're improving,

739
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 6: and you're seeing it, and I'm curious to see how

740
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: this continues to evolve. Obviously, Washington's not known for its

741
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 6: offensive line. Giants are gonna be banged up. But when

742
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 6: you go against especially like a Trent Williams in Week four, Right,

743
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 6: what's that going to look like if they can actually

744
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 6: get something off the best left tackle, the best lineman

745
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 6: in the game. Now you're talking, well.

746
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 4: Just go back to that play in which gard Deak

747
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: forced the ball out that Cameron Thomas picked up. That

748
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 4: was a spin move to the inside that I don't

749
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 4: think a year ago, two years ago we even see

750
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 4: that from Dennis Gardek. So that's something that he's learned

751
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 4: either by watching those that do it and then also

752
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: by the assistant coach outside linebackers, coach, Rob Rodriguez. But

753
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 4: you look at the number of outside linebackers that did

754
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 4: see the fields. Zavon Collins forty two snaps, and then

755
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 4: Dennis Gardack, Cameron Thomas, and Victor d mccagee all were

756
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 4: on the field for at least twenty five snaps a piece.

757
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 4: Jesse Luketta eighteen, bj Jilari twelve. A nice rotation amongst

758
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 4: those outside linebackers. Here's Jonathan Gannon.

759
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 8: You want those big guys fresh, and you want to

760
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 8: rotate him. If they have a jerseym game, they have

761
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 8: to serve a role and a purpose, and a lot

762
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 8: of those guys too played on teams a lot of snaps.

763
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 8: Anyone that's up on game day, especially that front, they'll

764
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 8: have a role and they'll play. So thought Dale did

765
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 8: a pretty good job.

766
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 4: You look at the defensive lineman as well. Jonathan Ledbetter

767
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: was the one who was on the field the most

768
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 4: forty one snaps. LJ. Collier thirty seven, Carlos Watkins thirty three,

769
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 4: Kevin Strong thirty one. I mean everyone that to Jonathan

770
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: Gannon's point, Paul, everyone who's in a uniform expect to play.

771
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 4: You're not just there waiting for someone to get hurt

772
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 4: in order for your number to be called.

773
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 6: I thought it was a great comparison Kyle made to

774
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 6: the Eagles. Now do the Cardinals have the Eagles personnel?

775
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 6: Nobody really does. At least last year in the front seven.

776
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 5: Nobody did.

777
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 6: They had seventy sacks. It was the most like thirty

778
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 6: years in the NFL, and another team wasn't even within

779
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 6: fifteen sacks. That's how far ahead of the game the

780
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 6: Eagles were. They didn't need to blitz. But the philosophy

781
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 6: is there, rotating different guys, keeping them fresh, fresh legs,

782
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 6: bringing different looks against those offensive linemen and that I

783
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 6: fully expect to continue all season one.

784
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 4: And it keeps guys interested, as I mentioned, engaged to

785
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 4: where you're not board, you're forced to pay attention because

786
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 4: at some point the coach is going to turn say

787
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 4: get in there.

788
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely. And it's not just the rotation as we

789
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 5: talked about earlier, it's the production. With the rotation. There's

790
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 5: twenty three defensive players with tackles. I mean that's got

791
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 5: to be every defensive player that had a jersey on,

792
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 5: So you know they're sending these players out there, not

793
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 5: just a fill of role so the starters can get

794
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 5: a break. Everybody's going out there and they're getting production.

795
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 6: You know what, we did not hear the two words,

796
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 6: the dreaded words, gap, integrity. How many times have we

797
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 6: heard those two words over the last few years and

798
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 6: you did not hear that right there, that's a win

799
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 6: within the game.

800
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 4: I'm sure that will be stressed mightily this week with

801
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley coming to town as we take a look

802
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 4: at the New York Giants on Sunday, the home opener

803
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 4: for the Cardinals. Will discuss that as we continue here

804
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 4: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Seat geek

805
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 4: your ticket to great seats. This is the Arizona Cardinals

806
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 4: radio network.

807
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: Locked.

808
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 10: It's knocked down and picked up by the Cowboys across

809
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 10: the fifty, down the far sideline, forty to the thirty

810
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 10: to the twenty to the ten touchdown Dallas A special teams.

811
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 11: Touchdown Jones and the gun takes the snap back to

812
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 11: pack Rush coming again, throws short left pot by Parkley, hit.

813
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 10: Ball, bulls up, take it out of the air by

814
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 10: the Cowboys, and.

815
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 6: It's going back for a touchdown.

816
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 10: Pitching the Pollard racing right, looking for a scene touchback,

817
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 10: finds the enzode touchdown Cowboys, and off Pollard running.

818
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 11: Right side, walks into the end zone. Touchdown Cowboys. Here's

819
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 11: a toss to Turpin running left outside the numbers, cuts

820
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 11: up across the five, Turpin diving to the end zone

821
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 11: and he's in for the touchdown.

822
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 4: I think all that happened in the first half, Okay,

823
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 4: maybe not, Ryan Radke on Westwood One. Yeah, the Giants

824
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 4: shutout at home, embarrassed on national television forty to nothing.

825
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 4: It was twenty six nothing at halftime. And yeah, now

826
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 4: the Giants come to State Farm Stadium on Sunday, Cardinals

827
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 4: home opener one oh five is the kickoff eight thirty

828
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 4: pregame covers begins on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network. And yeah,

829
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 4: it was not pretty on Sunday, blink and you missed everything.

830
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 6: The most lopsided opening loss in Giants' history, their worst

831
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 6: regular season loss since nineteen seventy three. By the way,

832
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 6: they've been getting dominated by Dallas. That's five straight and

833
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 6: twelve of the last thirteen they've lost to Dallas. And

834
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 6: in the last three meetings, the Cowboys have registered fifteen

835
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 6: sacks and the Giants zero. They haven't brought Dak Prescott

836
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 6: down once. Oh yeah, not good. Not good on multiple levels.

837
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 6: And you know what, because it can always get worse.

838
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 6: It does for the Giants. You realize they have to

839
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 6: go on the road. They come to play the Cardinals,

840
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 6: then they have to go to the forty nine Ers

841
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 6: on Thursday night. They have two games in five days,

842
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 6: both on the road, staying on the West Coast between games.

843
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 6: By the way, that was also the first time the

844
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 6: Giants have been shut up since twenty eighteen. As a player, Kyle,

845
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 6: when you are getting ready for opponents off a game

846
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 6: like that, is it good?

847
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 4: Is it bad. Does it even matter whether a team

848
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 4: comes in riding a hot streak or getting embarrassed like

849
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 4: the Giants did.

850
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 5: I hate playing a team after an embarrassing loss, like

851
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 5: you said. You know, they want to rectify what happened.

852
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 5: They have to feel like that was not representative of

853
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 5: who they are. I mean, they were terrible in all

854
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 5: three phases, giving up big plays in all three phases

855
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 5: their highest paid players. I mean, when you have a

856
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 5: team and the way the salary cap is, your highest

857
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 5: paid players need to show up and they need to

858
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 5: play like elite superstars, and Daniel Jones did not, Sakuon

859
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 5: Barkley did not. You know, they just did not show up.

860
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 5: And you know typically when that happens. I mean, trust me,

861
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 5: I've been on the bad side of lopsided losses, and

862
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 5: you know, the coaching staff doesn't even watch the film.

863
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 5: They just say, that wasn't us. We're gonna get back

864
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 5: to work and we're gonna move forward. So you know,

865
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 5: this is this is a playoff team last year. So

866
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 5: to me, that's what I expect. I expect a bit

867
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 5: more of the team we saw last year and not

868
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 5: the team we saw this past week. So you know

869
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 5: the team, the Cardinals will still have a challenge. You know,

870
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 5: anytime you have a running back like Saquon Barkley on

871
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 5: the other side, it's gonna be tough. But again, just

872
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 5: going back to what the Cardinals did last week. You know,

873
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 5: we talked about their pass or actually talked about their coverage.

874
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 5: They were good against the run. You know, I just

875
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 5: kind of zoom out sometimes and just focus on the

876
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage. They were knocking them back and they

877
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 5: were holding their own on the line of scrimmage. So

878
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 5: you know, even though you have a dangerous back like

879
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley, I expect this defense to hold up really

880
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 5: well against them.

881
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 4: Saquon last week or on Sunday night, fifty one rushing

882
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 4: yards on twelve carries, three catches for twelve yards. Here's

883
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon an early look on the Giants.

884
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 8: Their playoff caliber football team. I know it didn't go

885
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 8: their way, but they got good players and three really

886
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 8: good schemes in my opinion, offense, defense and teams. They

887
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 8: do a lot of things that make it hard on

888
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 8: the other side. So we're gonna have to be on it.

889
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 8: But it's a good football team coming here. Brian Dables

890
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 8: a really good coach. He's got three good coordinators. You know,

891
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 8: just haven't played them a couple times. Being in that division,

892
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 8: it's it's gonna be a it's gonna be a good fight.

893
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 4: A playoff team. A year ago they won their first

894
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 4: round wild card game. They went nine to seven and

895
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 4: one in Dave Ball's first season as head coach. So

896
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 4: you have very capable and you hope that Week one

897
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 4: is just one of those games that you look at

898
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 4: and say, yeah, that's not a reflection of who we are.

899
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 6: And kudos to Brian Dabele. I mean, they they were

900
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 6: a four win team the year before, they were dealing

901
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 6: with more than fifty million dollars in dead cap money.

902
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 6: Last year they made the playoffs, So the first time

903
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 6: since twenty sixteen they won a playoff game on the road.

904
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 6: Daniel Jones ran it seventeen times in that game. Was remarkable.

905
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 6: But those who covered the team speculate that maybe something's

906
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 6: wrong in the locker room because they gave Danny Dimes

907
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 6: big dollars four years, one hundred sixty million, forty million

908
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 6: per year for a guy who had fifteen touchdow down

909
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 6: passes last year. They didn't want to pay Saquon Barkley.

910
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 6: They eventually came to terms on that one year deal.

911
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 6: But Saquon Barkley had over sixteen hundred all purpose yards

912
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 6: last year. He was the heart and soul of that team.

913
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 6: So some wonder is everything okay in that locker room,

914
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 6: because there's nobody more respected than Saquon Barkley.

915
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones sacked seven times on Sunday Night, And of

916
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 4: course a little bit of a reunion. Two different reunions

917
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 4: coming up on Sunday. One Azi's Ojulari Giants linebacker, older

918
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 4: brother of bj Ojulari Cardinals rookie. And then I know

919
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 4: you're looking really forward to this one, Paul, expect a

920
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 4: handshake at midfield. Isaiah Simmons is coming back into town.

921
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, I forgot about that. Okay, we'll see.

922
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 4: Is he playing off the edge? Is he going to

923
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 4: be the Swiss army knife? Where exactly is he going

924
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 4: to be? Will he be he had one tackle last

925
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 4: week in that game? Will he be covering the tight

926
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 4: end because of his is zach Ertz. Trey McBride could

927
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,680
