14

Speaker 1: Kyle Vandenbosch.

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 4: So a lot of business to discuss over the next hour.

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 4: But the first order of business, gentlemen, is a question

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 4: and a reminder to the rest of the bird game.

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 4: Have you paid your taxes? Today is tax Day?

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 5: That's why we're here as an escape to make you

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 5: forget the fact that it is tax Day twenty twenty three.

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 5: That's a great point right off the top, and I

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 5: went right to the deadline last night. I finalized him,

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 5: I would do my best work, Kyle under deadline. That's

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 5: the way if you want a gamer in the fourth quarter.

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 5: When it comes to taxes, yours truly, I'm your guy.

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 6: Well, your taxes are complicated, all that money you make, Yeah,

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 6: I mean, I can't imagine the headache you had trying

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 6: to sort all your money and figure out how much

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 6: you owe the government the.

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 4: Different homes, different states, countries. Do we not have a

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: lie detector right now? I mean, you know, of course

32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 4: Kyle has people that handle his taxes so he doesn't

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: have to worry about it. He's got someone who does

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,279
Speaker 4: that for him. I thought you had all the people.

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 5: I'm sure all our elected leaders will do their best

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: to spend all our tax dollars wisely for the people

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 5: of the people, by the people, with no personal agendas

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 5: involved whatsoever. Here over the rest of the calendar year.

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 5: I'm sure that'll happen. Always another light detector, all right?

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 5: On that note, here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 5: presented by seat Geek your ticket to Great Seats. Let's

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 5: get into the news of the day now. Really we

43
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 5: should be really focused.

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: On what is going to happen a week from this Thursday,

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: and that is the twenty twenty three NFL Draft. However,

46
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 4: on Friday, we got news several reports, Paul, that's Buddha Baker,

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: face of the defense. Dare I say the face of

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: the franchise asked for a trade, although ESPN also made

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 4: mention that he either wanted a trade or to become

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: the highest paid safety in the game. And that's sent

51
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 4: shockwaves not only locally but nationally across the NFL.

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 5: And therein lies the question, the big question for the

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 5: Big Red. Does he want a new deal or does

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 5: he want out? I would say the former. We all

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 5: know Buddha pretty well. Okay, he's competitive, the most competitive

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 5: guy I've been around in this team in quite quite

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 5: a few years. And we see it out there on

58
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 5: the field. Doesn't matter what the score is on that scoreboard,

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: Buddha Baker is there at a ball and right now

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 5: he's the seventh highest paid safety in the league at

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 5: about what fourteen million year or so. Derwin James right

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: now is averaging about nineteen million per year. Derwin James

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 5: might be the only safety in the game that you

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 5: say is better than Buddha Baker, at least for my analysis.

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 5: All right, So once again, is it just Buddha Baker

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 5: trying to maximize his earning potential in his prime and

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 5: age twenty seven, or does it.

68
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: Go beyond that.

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 5: Is he looking at a potential rebuild and saying he

70
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 5: wants to win right here, right now? Only Buddha knows,

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 5: But something tells me if you were to renegotiate his deal,

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 5: he would gladly sign on the line that is dotted.

73
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: Once upon a.

74
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: Time, Kyle Buddha was the highest paid safety in the game.

75
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: It was after he signed a four year extension in

76
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. Has two more seasons left on that deal,

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: although none of the money is guaranteed.

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: To Paul's point, is.

79
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 4: It more about the money or is not liking what

80
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: he is seeing so far with this team, whether that's

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: the new GM, the new head coach, new defensive Cordner,

82
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: too much new for Buddha Baker, who is at the

83
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: age of twenty seven, is dare I say, closer to

84
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: the end than the beginning of his pro career?

85
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, make no mistake, he's still in his prime.

86
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 6: You know, I would guess it's a combination of the

87
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 6: two things. You know, to me, One of the things

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 6: that stands out most from last season's end season hard

89
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 6: Knocks was just the passion in Buddha Baker's voice, hearing

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 6: how much it hurts him to lose, knowing how much

91
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 6: he invests in this team. You know, to me, if

92
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 6: I'm the Arizona Cardinals, You've got to do whatever it

93
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 6: takes to keep this man in the building. You know

94
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 6: how much respect he has in the locker room. He

95
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 6: is not a leader for this team. He is the

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 6: leader for this team, and not always by his words,

97
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 6: even though we see how he speaks up in meetings,

98
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 6: how he speaks up before and after games, how he

99
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 6: is that he is the guy that does everything right

100
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 6: and not just right in the film room, not just

101
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 6: right in the weight room, not just right on the

102
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 6: practice field. And you know, it's it's how he plays

103
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 6: the game, how he plays with the reckless abandon To me,

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 6: it's a The way he plays is a bit of

105
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 6: a lost art. The way he flies around the football field.

106
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 6: You just don't see players play like that anymore. And then,

107
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 6: on top of that, in a season that went south

108
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 6: pretty quickly last year, he was fighting through injury. He

109
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 6: played the next week when it was declared he'd be

110
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 6: out for two weeks on an ankle spring he finished

111
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 6: a game with a broken shoulder. I mean, this guy

112
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 6: is the heart and soul of this team. This guy

113
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 6: is a warrior. This guy brings passion, He brings energy

114
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 6: to the entire locker room. And when you are in

115
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 6: a quote unquote rebuild, he's the guy you want in

116
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 6: the locker room to show the new guys, to show

117
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 6: the guys the free agents that are being added to

118
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 6: this team, to show rookies walking into this locker room.

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 6: This is what a professional looks like.

120
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: Well said, you're talking about a team captain each of

121
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: the past three seasons, a five time pro bowler. NFL

122
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: Networks Ian Rappaport recently on the Pat McAfee show about

123
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 4: Baker's request that he wants out.

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 7: I learned about the trade request over the last several days,

125
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 7: but this has quietly been a reality for Arizona for

126
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 7: much longer. Really wants a new deal, and I do

127
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 7: not believe the Cardinals want to trade him. Like, we

128
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 7: don't plan to trade you. We want to keep you.

129
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 7: And like he is, like he is the heartbeat of

130
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 7: that defense. That's the guy you want to build around

131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 7: you know, you don't want to use the second round

132
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 7: pick to replace him. You want to build with him.

133
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 7: So we'll see what happens. But I don't believe they

134
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 7: want to trade him at all.

135
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: I wouldn't trade him at all.

136
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: I would make sure I would do whatever I can

137
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 4: to make sure that you have a happy bit of

138
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 4: Baker in the locker room and ultimately on that football field.

139
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: But let's go back to we talk about how much

140
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: things have changed since the end of last season as

141
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 4: far as a new GM head coach, defensive coordinator, and

142
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: players on the roster as well. But we go back

143
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 4: to when Monty austin Ford was introduced back on January seventeenth,

144
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: he brought up Buddha Baker.

145
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 8: I was with the Patriots at the time, and Buddha

146
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 8: came in. We interviewed Buddah at the combine for our

147
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 8: twenty minute interview. After the end of that twenty minute interview,

148
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 8: I think I was ready to run through a brick

149
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 8: wall for Buddha Baker, and Buddha Baker represents everything that

150
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 8: we want this organization to be and I am excited

151
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 8: to be on a team with him.

152
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: And then you go back to when defensive coordinator Rawllis

153
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 4: was introduced to the media on February twenty second about Buddha.

154
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: Quote sets the standard on how you want.

155
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: To play this game. End quote.

156
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon has also had high praise for the veteran

157
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: safety that is based off what has been said Paul

158
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: that is not a player you want out of this

159
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: building and not wearing your uniform.

160
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 5: Players, no players, coaches, no players. Think how many times

161
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 5: his colleagues have cited his play the standard. He sets

162
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 5: Bill Davis on hard knocks in the linebackers room saying

163
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 5: if everybody played as hard as Buddha, where would we

164
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 5: be as a team. Some of the miked up segments

165
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 5: NFL films has had over the years of Mike Tomlin pregame.

166
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 5: I remember a couple of years ago talking to Cardinals

167
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 5: coaches and out of nowhere just citing Buddha Baker on film.

168
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 5: So the respect level is immense, it is elite. And

169
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 5: when team Buddha his business folks see Jesse Bates go

170
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: from Cincinnati to Atlanta this offseason and gets sixteen million

171
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 5: per year and buddhistlated to make thirteen and then fourteen

172
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 5: next year. Yeah, he's exercising his leverage, and especially after

173
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: the season the Cardinals just came off of where he

174
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 5: was the leader, the heartbeat of that team. I can't

175
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 5: get just the audio out of my head. We all

176
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 5: saw it later on Hard Knocks and the locker room

177
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 5: speech after the Philly loss. But as the guy who

178
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: does the postgame interviews down the hallway, I could hear

179
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 5: someone yelling, I could hear the passion. I had no

180
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 5: idea who it was at the time, but you realize

181
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: just how much that losing hurts a Buddha baker. So

182
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 5: if you're looking at a rebuild year straight ahead, yeah,

183
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 5: I can understand it on both fronts.

184
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: And so we'll see.

185
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: But there's no doubt to Kyle's point, he's most definitely part.

186
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: Of the solution.

187
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 5: He's not the part of the problem, and so his

188
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 5: value I think is immense in every sense of the

189
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: word as you try and chart the course forward.

190
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: This is a business though, Colin. We hear it all

191
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: the time, and typically you hear this from a player

192
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 4: that is going into the final year of his contract,

193
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: not two years before the end of a contract, And

194
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: I think that's where you're looking at from the team side,

195
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: it's like, do you set the precedence? But there is

196
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 4: a difference between Buddha Baker and maybe fifty two other

197
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: players in that locker room because you're talking about someone

198
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 4: who was revered by the fan base and this is

199
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 4: a team that has for the second straight off season

200
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: been on the wrong end of a lot of bad news.

201
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's two different precedents. Like I understand, you don't

202
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 6: want to as an organization, set a precedent of players

203
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 6: coming to you with two years left on their contract

204
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 6: demanding new money, wanting new money, wanting to get paid more,

205
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 6: because that becomes a slippery slope and guys will get

206
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: in line right behind Buddha Baker and say I want

207
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 6: new money too. But at the same time, as an organization,

208
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 6: you know, I listened to Monty asen Ford and Jonathan

209
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 6: Gannon talk about what they value and what this culture

210
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 6: is going to look like. As an organization, When you

211
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 6: say these are our values and this is how we're

212
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 6: going to build this organization, and you have probably the

213
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 6: best example of that checks every box of what they're

214
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 6: looking for in your locker room, you also want to

215
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 6: set a precedent. We're going to reward that we value

216
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 6: what you bring. Look, there is players that bring tremendous

217
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 6: value on what they can and do on Sundays. Buddha

218
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 6: Baker is a different type of player. He brings that

219
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 6: value on Sundays, but he brings value to this team

220
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 6: Monday to Saturday as well, and raises the level of

221
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 6: play of every single player in this locker room because

222
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 6: of his example, and because of that example and what

223
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 6: he does, his voice matters and he can demand more

224
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 6: from each and every player in this locker room because

225
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 6: they know how much it means to him and how

226
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 6: much he has put into this team and invested into

227
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 6: this team.

228
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 5: You can't always be the highest paid player in your

229
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 5: position group. In the NFL, the salary cap continues to

230
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: go up, guys continue to get paid. Patrick Mahomes right

231
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 5: now is the fifth highest paid quarterback in terms of

232
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: average annual value after the Jalen Hurts deal, Jalen Hurts,

233
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers. You have Kyler Murray, Deshaun Watson all higher

234
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 5: paid per year than Patrick Mahomes, who just won another ring.

235
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 5: So that's the reality of it. And if the Cardinals

236
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 5: have to hang on to Buddha Baker despite his wants

237
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 5: and needs. Guess what it can and will happen. They've

238
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 5: already done it with a Patrick Peterson at Chandler Jones,

239
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 5: a Jordan Hicks, who all asked to be traded, And

240
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: if it wasn't in favor of the team and didn't

241
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: make sense for the organization, they're not gonna pull the trigger.

242
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 5: And I don't see how the Cardinals could possibly get

243
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: equal in fair trade compensation for Buddha Baker if they

244
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 5: did deal him.

245
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: You can't.

246
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: There's no way you're not gonna get fair market value.

247
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 4: And also had another player, your boy i Andy requested

248
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: a trade, was not grant. He remained on the roster

249
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: until he was ultimately released. But yeah, this is this

250
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: is not new. I think the uproar on Friday cole

251
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: One was the fact that it was Buddha Baker who

252
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: has always put team first, and all of a sudden

253
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 4: he's looking at himself in the mirraguard, Right, I need

254
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 4: to put myself first, which I get it from a

255
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: player's standpoint. Not gonna go against what players want based

256
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: off what they do every single day, and then ultimately

257
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: on Sundays and then just because you want something doesn't

258
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 4: mean it's going to happen. And I think that's where

259
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: fans got a little bit agitated or upset because it was, oh.

260
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: He's gone. No, but it's not gone.

261
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: He's still here and he very well may be here

262
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: for the next two seasons.

263
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 6: Again, you know, knowing or having an idea of the vision,

264
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 6: you know, this probably isn't going to be a quick rebuild.

265
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 6: There may be some struggles this year. But Buddha Baker

266
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 6: is not a front runner. I've played with players that

267
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 6: are front runners that when it goes south, we start

268
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 6: to lose games. They are the worst people in the

269
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 6: locker room. Buddha Baker will help, you know. He's the

270
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 6: kind of guy that will see this team through the

271
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 6: bad times until they come out on the other end.

272
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 6: And so you know, to me, I think, however, this

273
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 6: needs to be accomplished, however it gets done. It just

274
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 6: needs to be communicated because it's tough. Buddha doesn't have

275
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 6: relationships with this coaching staff. He knows very few. There's

276
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 6: very few people that were retained. And I understand he

277
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 6: is a team guy and loyal to the team. Well,

278
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 6: this team looks completely different to him. He walks into

279
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 6: this locker room and there's so many new faces and

280
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 6: really doesn't have relationships with either a lot of the

281
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 6: players or the coaching staff, so a lot of it's

282
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 6: new to him. But they need to understand. They need to,

283
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 6: you know, get it through to him how important he

284
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 6: is and what it means to have him in the

285
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 6: locker room and through this and share their vision. You know,

286
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 6: it's always so separate from front office to coaching staff

287
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 6: to players, but share the vision, say we're not as

288
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 6: far away. Here's what we're planning, here's how we are

289
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 6: going to win games next year, and here's how we

290
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 6: need you to be a part of it. And hopefully

291
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 6: that will do some of it. And I realized that's

292
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 6: probably not what he is looking for. But you know,

293
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 6: to me, and I don't know, I'm not wired like Buddha,

294
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 6: I don't know who else is. But the number one

295
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 6: thing is that wanted to feel valued. And sometimes that's

296
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 6: not always about how much money is in my bank

297
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 6: account or how big my check is. It is, you know,

298
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 6: be involved in the process, have some input on some

299
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 6: you know, not necessarily personnel, but how things are done,

300
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 6: and have a good relationship with this coaching staff in

301
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 6: front office, because then you're invested as a player, then

302
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 6: you have ownership in what's happening.

303
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: No question, the value in that locker room is known.

304
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 4: What we don't know with this new defense head coach,

305
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator, how much do they value the safety position

306
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 4: and the role of a Buddha Baker on the field.

307
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 5: And if your Buddha and you have to learn a

308
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 5: new system anyway, then you know what the timing might

309
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 5: be right in asking for that trade if you're gonna

310
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 5: have to go to a new team in a new system.

311
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: Worst case scenario as he pulls Adrwin James, because remember

312
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 5: Buddha Baker and Durwin James, same agency, same representation, And

313
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: we know what Durwin James did last year.

314
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: He held out or had to hold.

315
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: In for the first three weeks of Chargers camp until

316
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: he got a record breaking deal.

Speaker 4: we continue here on the Cardinals reds, he reports the drafts. Yes,

320
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: one week from Thursday, Cardinals on the clock at number three.

321
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: But what happens if Will Anderson is not available? With

322
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: that third overall pick. This is the Arizona Cardinals radio network.

323
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: Everybody talks about Will Anderson.

324
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: Gives a challenging but it's about the effort that he

325
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 4: gives turns into a supernova.

326
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 9: Wow, Will Anderson doing damage Anderson?

327
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: God damn.

328
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 9: It was a simple full racing Will Anderson with the

329
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 9: sack bro Alabama.

330
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: All we talked about do you double him?

331
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 5: Do you ship in?

332
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: Well, sure, seck is.

333
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 5: One thing you can't do is just leave him.

334
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: One on one.

335
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 9: Sworn under by Will Anderson, the best pass rusher we've

336
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 9: seen in college football in a long time. Quarterback, We'll

337
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 9: keep it and gets taken down. Will Anderson Junior flying away.

338
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 10: But it's intercepting for this is Will Anderson Junior touchdown.

339
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 4: The more you watch, the more you read about Will Anderson,

340
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: the more you like the player and the person. Also,

341
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 4: the more time that passes since the end of the

342
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 4: college football season ahead of next Thursday's NFL Draft, the

343
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 4: more noise you hear not about Will Anderson but Tyree Wilson.

344
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: The Houston Texans with that second overall pick. Dare I

345
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: say they select Will Anderson and the Cardinals don't have

346
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 4: Anderson available to go with that third overall pick.

347
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 3: Welcome back.

348
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 4: It is the Cardinals Reddit Seat Report presented by seat

349
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: Kick your Ticket to Great Seats. As we shift our

350
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 4: focus to what happens in nine days from now, Paul,

351
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 4: and every scenario has been discussed, I'm gonna bring up

352
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: a new one, and that is the potential of Will

353
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 4: Anderson not being there, plus the Cardinals not being able

354
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,239
Speaker 4: to trade down from number three, which has been a

355
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 4: foregone conclusion if Anderson was not available. But in order

356
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 4: to make a trade, you need to have a trade

357
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 4: partner and someone willing.

358
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 3: To move up. See to me, if c J.

359
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 5: Stroud is still on the board at three, there will

360
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 5: be a trade. There will be a trade down for

361
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals. They will be able to.

362
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: Cash it in.

363
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 5: But I'll play your reindeer games over there. Agree, And

364
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: let's just say that Will Anderson goes number two to Houston,

365
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 5: which is exactly what Michael Lombardi, former NFL GM said

366
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 5: to Pat McAfee yesterday that he does not believe Houston

367
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 5: will take c J. Stroud after Bryce Young goes number

368
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 5: one to Carolina. And by the way, Bryce Young has

369
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 5: ended all other visits so most people think he is

370
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 5: indeed going number one to the Panthers. In fact, Lombardi said, quote,

371
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 5: I think teams are now starting to accept that Stroud

372
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 5: is not going number two, and I think more work

373
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 5: is being done. Really Okay, If so, Houston has done

374
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 5: a heck of a job of getting that narrative out there,

375
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 5: I don't buy it. I don't believe it there. I

376
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: think they desperately need a quarterback in CJ. Stroud as

377
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 5: their guy. But if they take a Will Anderson and

378
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 5: the Cardinals are sitting there at three and nobody else

379
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 5: is willing to come up for a CJ. Stroud, then

380
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: what that's a great question. I would presume they go Corner.

381
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 5: That's just me, Tyree Wilson. Yeah, maybe that would be

382
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 5: out of need, and I think need first and foremost.

383
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 5: But you're talking about a draft last year where Corners

384
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 5: went three and four, Derek Stingley junior and then Sauce Gardner,

385
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 5: who was phenomenal for the Jets. And by the way,

386
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 5: Houston overthought it and overanalyzed it last year and picked

387
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 5: the wrong corner at number three when sauce Gardner was

388
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 5: on the board. So they're fully capable of screwing it

389
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 5: up again this year, There's no doubt, but I would

390
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 5: think the Cardinals would go Corner, either Christian Gonzales or

391
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 5: Devin Witherspoon.

392
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 4: There's another name on that board, and that is what

393
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: was presumed to be the number one overall pick several

394
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: months ago before some off the field issues popped up,

395
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: and that is Jalen Carter, who, according to reports Kyle

396
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 4: has visited with every single team from pick six to ten,

397
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 4: and we know his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has said that

398
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: Carter will not visit with any team outside the top ten.

399
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 4: Cardinals have not been mentioned on that list that have

400
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 4: had a visit with Jalen Carter. But again, this scenario,

401
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: if you're the Cardinals at number three, you have to

402
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 4: prepare for everything, and I mean everything, and we don't

403
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 4: know what they think or feel about Jalen Carter.

404
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's where the you know, the front office scouting

405
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 6: department really needs to do their homework. Are the issues

406
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 6: that popped up with Jalen Carter? Are they one off?

407
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 6: Is it something that's in his rear view mirror? Can

408
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 6: you depend on him? What type of guy is he?

409
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 6: In the meeting rooms on the practice field, was he

410
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 6: you know, good in the classroom. You know, you've really

411
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 6: got to leave no stone unturned because look, he is

412
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 6: an elite talent. I mean, he is a disruptive force.

413
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 6: You know, he can change the course of a game

414
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 6: playing at the defensive tackle position, and there is a

415
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 6: big premium on players that can do that. Saying that,

416
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 6: you know, it's tough because again, listening to the vision

417
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 6: of Mantiasen for this team, listening to the vision of

418
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 6: Jonathan Gannon for this team, you know, they constantly come

419
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 6: back to character and in football character, and you need

420
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 6: to decide whether he's gonna fit into that mold or not.

421
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 6: You know, if Will Anderson is not there at three,

422
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 6: Cardinals are forced to pick. You know, it's tough. I

423
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 6: realize that. You know, corners are a premium and this

424
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 6: team has been in flux for a few years trying

425
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 6: to find some stability at the cornerback position and find

426
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 6: that guy that can be that elite shutdown corner. But

427
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 6: saying that, looking at what Jonathan Gannon had to work

428
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 6: with last year, looking at the team he was on

429
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 6: last year, you know, look, a lot of tension to

430
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts had phenomenal year. The receiving corps phenomenal. That

431
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 6: team was elite because they had the best offensive line

432
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 6: in football and they had the most disruptive defensive line

433
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 6: of football. And I expect this team to be built

434
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 6: inside out. And with we currently sit with what eight

435
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 6: draft picks, I expect anywhere from four to five of

436
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 6: those picks to be defensive lineman or interior offensive lineman.

437
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 6: Because you know, at least the perception that I have

438
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 6: is this, this isn't going to be a quick fix.

439
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: But the way you build it properly is not to

440
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 6: make flashy draft picks, not to you know, flood skill positions.

441
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 6: You've sometimes got to make the unattractive picks, that the

442
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 6: ones that the fans aren't going to buy jerseys for,

443
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 6: and stabilize your trenches. Build from the inside out, because

444
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 6: you know, if we have an elite shut down corner,

445
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 6: but quarterbacks have four or five seconds to hold the

446
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 6: ball and sit back there and padd it, it don't

447
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 6: matter who's back there, We're not gonna We're not gonna

448
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 6: win games because of our defense. It's gonna be a liability.

449
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 6: We've got to find players, and there may be a

450
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 6: couple on this roster that emerge. But just looking at

451
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 6: the guys we have now on the defensive front, and

452
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 6: their career sack numbers are not great. They are not

453
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 6: difference maker on third difference makers on third down or

454
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 6: getting to the quarterback or or affecting games. And we've

455
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 6: got to find those guys. So even if it is

456
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 6: a reach, we may take the next best edge player,

457
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 6: we may take the next best inside player, because I

458
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 6: think that's how they envisioned building this team, not necessarily

459
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 6: taking the best athlete that's available at number three, because

460
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 6: that's what that's what you know, the combine shows, that's

461
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 6: what tape shows.

462
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: You know.

463
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 6: I think we've got to build it the right way,

464
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 6: and I think that comes up front.

465
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 4: The newest mock draft, in fact, the first one that

466
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: he's released NFL Networks, Peter Schrager. His mock draft one

467
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 4: point zero does have the Cardinals selecting Will Anderson, but

468
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 4: the Texans making a trade with the Colts as the

469
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 4: Colts move up to two to take CJ. Stroud and

470
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: the Texans at number four go with Tyree Wilson. Now, again,

471
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 4: is Wilson going to be better than Will Anderson. The

472
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 4: numbers based off their college production wouldn't suggest it, but

473
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 4: there are people. There's a lot of noise.

474
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: Again.

475
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: Peter King has written about it in his Football Morning

476
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: in America that many people believe that Wilson will hear

477
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: his name either called before Will Anderson or will have

478
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 4: a better career than a Will Anderson. This all goes

479
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: back to what Houston does at number two. Perhaps the

480
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 4: draft does begin with that second overall pick. ESPN's Adam

481
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 4: Schefter on NFL Live, dare I say the Texans do

482
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 4: pass on a QB?

483
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 11: What if the run on quarterbacks gets a little bit delayed.

484
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 11: What if it's a little bit later to start than

485
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 11: people thought. We've been hearing about quarterbacks going one, two, three, four.

486
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen.

487
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 11: I don't believe. And we've seen we want to make

488
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 11: them move up right away, right away for a quarterback

489
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 11: at one, but we haven't seen anybody trade up to

490
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 11: two when Houston's open to listening. We haven't seen anybody

491
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 11: trade up to number three. Because you know what, I think,

492
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 11: Indianapolis thinks there's a real chance right now that they

493
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 11: could sit right where they are for and get potentially

494
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 11: the second quarterback in this draft.

495
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 4: With that said, though, Paul, I do like where the

496
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 4: Cardinals are at number three, and I have no problem. Yes,

497
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 4: there's only been that one trade of the Panthers moving

498
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 4: up with the Bears that if you're the Cardinals, you

499
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 4: wait until you know what happens ahead of you. Yeah,

500
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: there's only two picks, but you wait and then keep

501
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 4: those phones open for those ten minutes that you have before.

502
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 5: You have to get that pick in, you know, speaking

503
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 5: to the pick. Will Anderson was on Good Morning Football

504
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 5: Today NFL Network, and they asked him about the narrative

505
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 5: out there that he's the safe pick that if you

506
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 5: want the upside as an edge rusher in this draft,

507
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 5: you go Tyree Wilson, or if you want the game wrecker,

508
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 5: the elite talent, you go with Jalen Carter. And his

509
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 5: response wasn't I quote Will Anderson is not a safe pick.

510
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 5: It's the right pick. That's Will Anderson. And I'll see

511
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 5: your mock draft inside. Another one that came out today,

512
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 5: this is a Kuiper and Todd McShay combo where they

513
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: alternate picks one two one two and they have Bryce

514
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 5: Young going number one c. J. Stroud number two to Houston,

515
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 5: Will Anderson number three, then the Colts taking Anthony Richardson

516
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 5: number four, which is another popular line of thinking that

517
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 5: Shane Stike and what he did with Jalen Hurtz could

518
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 5: do something similar with an elite dual threat talent like

519
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson. So there's that out there, and then Will

520
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 5: Levis would go number eleven to Tennessee. In this Kuiper

521
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 5: mcshah latest one that Will Levis would fall in Tennessee

522
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 5: wouldn't have to trade up either way. I think the

523
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 5: Cardinals will either end up with Will Anderson or a trade.

524
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 5: I do not, because I think the need and want

525
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 5: for a quarterback is dire enough among enough teams, there

526
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: will be a QB on the board and number three

527
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 5: some team will want or Will Anderson will be there

528
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 5: for the take.

529
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 4: See this is the fun parts of the lead up

530
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 4: to the NFL Draft. It's also the frustrating parts and

531
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: where you just want it to happen. I think we've

532
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 4: all I think we've now exhausted every single potential Kyle

533
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 4: for what might happen with the third overall pick. I

534
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 4: don't I can't foresee anything else happening. But this is why,

535
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 4: and this is why the NFL does a great job

536
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 4: because it now becomes a year long discussion point because

537
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 4: the season ended middle of February and here we are

538
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 4: talking about an event that happens mid late April.

539
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, look, we're all kind of just

540
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 6: ready for it to happen, and you know, we have

541
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 6: no idea. Look, I mean, everybody's just throwing out these

542
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 6: crazy ideas that they think may happen. Rest assured. You know,

543
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 6: I've heard people like, what are they going to do

544
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 6: if they're at three and Will Anderson isn't there? And

545
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 6: then they have to hurry up and field phone calls,

546
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 6: front offices and scoutings. They do mock draft after mock

547
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 6: draft they make they'll assign somebody to a team and

548
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 6: they'll make a pick, and then you'll make a pick.

549
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 6: And then you're like, okay, for so now we know

550
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 6: we have this scenario, what are we gonna do? And

551
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 6: so they have it all laid out, they know exactly

552
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 6: what they're gonna do. They've probably already had several preliminary

553
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 6: conversations about if this is the scenario that we're staring at,

554
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 6: you know, would you be willing to trade with us.

555
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 6: So there's parameters already set up so that in you know,

556
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 6: that short window of time that you have to make

557
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 6: your pick, you're not scrambling and not able to get

558
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 6: it done. You know, case in point last year with

559
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 6: Hollywood Brown, there was a scenario that if things happened

560
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 6: a certain way, the trade would go through. And so

561
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 6: you know, you can expect that these conversations have happened.

562
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 6: There is multiple options, and they're not gonna be stuck

563
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 6: at three twiddling their thumbs and staring at each other

564
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 6: trying to figure out what to do. They know exactly

565
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 6: where they're gonna go with this pick in every possible scenario,

566
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 6: even probably crazier scenarios than other people have thrown out.

567
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean, I just can't wait for it

568
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 6: to be over with and we know what we have

569
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 6: going forward, and I'm anticipating. I mean, it seems like

570
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 6: we've been waiting for it. Seems like the season has

571
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 6: been over for a year. It's only been a couple months,

572
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 6: but it's ready. I mean, I'm I loved, you know,

573
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 6: I took pride in being a part of rebuilds, and

574
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see how this unfolds because I fully

575
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 6: believe we have the right people in place. Now, it's

576
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 6: just time to put that plan into action.

577
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 5: In any sport, the rebuild is so much more rewarding

578
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 5: than just jumping a bandwagon. Right Look what an Adrian

579
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 5: Wilson did when he resigned with the Cardinals and easily

580
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 5: could have gone elsewhere, And then when the Cardinals made

581
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl run three years later two thousand and eight,

582
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 5: just think how gratifying that was because you were part

583
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 5: of the foundation. You were part of that rebuild. And

584
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 5: I'll just say, look, Cardinals have eight picks right now.

585
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: I fully expect them to have nine to ten, eleven

586
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 5: or twelve by the time the draft is done, whether

587
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 5: they the trigger at number three, whether they trade a

588
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 5: d hot before before my hot take, they traded in

589
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 5: Isaiah Simmons, I think they end up with more picks,

590
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 5: and you're gonna see a lot of impact players come

591
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 5: out of this draft.

592
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: And hopefully we see those players next season. On the

593
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three home schedule. For more information at Azycardinals

596
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: it's a jersey.

597
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: It's a touchdown to sixty lead.

598
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: For Driscoll's just giving his guy a shot.

599
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 9: For Driscoll sensing the pressure, tell me his receiver to

600
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 9: go along, and he's gonna try it on a deep

601
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 9: shot touchdown. Kitty checks Driscoll, what's it fine?

602
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 4: Twenty nine years old, soon to be thirty next week.

603
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: Jeff Triscoll the latest Arizona Cardinals acquisition this offseason, signing

604
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 4: a one year contract and becomes the fourth quarterback in

605
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 4: that room. As were walking back into the Cardinals Red

606
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 4: Seat Report presented by seat Geek your ticket to grade seats.

607
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 4: Not a surprise that the Cardinals added a fourth quarterback,

608
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: perhaps maybe Paul the surprise because we had touched on

609
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 4: this in past shows that maybe waits until the draft there,

610
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: I say Day three or post draft with an undrafted

611
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: free agent. But you're looking now, maybe they add even

612
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 4: another quarterback because of the uncertainty around Kyler Muran.

613
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: We still not.

614
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: Quite sure about McCoy and his availability this Offsealy. I'm

615
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 4: not talking regular season, I'm talking about availability in the

616
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 4: offseason for some quarterback to throw the ball and hand

617
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: the ball off. Look, you have four quarterbacks under contract.

618
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: How many will be available for the mandatory mini camp

619
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: in mid June. How many will be available and able

620
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: to begin training camp. We're not exactly sure. As for

621
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 4: Cole McCoy.

622
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 5: You're definitely not counting on Kyler Murray at that stage,

623
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 5: not yet. And you go into every training camp with

624
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 5: at least four arms. You need those camp arms. So

625
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 5: Driscoll is here. It does not preclude the team from

626
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 5: on Day three taking a rookie quarterback. I fully expect

627
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 5: that to be a very distinct possibility. I think they're

628
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 5: scouring the draft right now for someone who might fall

629
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 5: into Day three who's a dual threat type quarterback who

630
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 5: they could at least stash on the practice squad going forward.

631
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 5: But at least you have a guy you're familiar with.

632
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: Dave Sears as a pass with Jeff Driscoll back in Detroit.

633
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 5: He has seven years in the league. He's got a

634
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 5: big arm, he's a big dude at six four, two

635
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 5: thirty five. You know, he's been with five different teams.

636
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 5: He's started ten or eleven games in this in this league.

637
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 5: His career record is one to nine. Of course, he's

638
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 5: been with Houston and Detroit when they're at their worst.

639
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 5: So all right, there you go. But at least a

640
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 5: capable guy who can come in and get you through camp.

641
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 4: On'mer, seventh round pick of the forty nine ers started

642
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: two games last season talking about Jeff Driscoll. But again

643
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 4: it goes back to you want to make sure you

644
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 4: have someone. Obviously Kyler Murray is QB one, but the

645
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: question remains QB two and whether that QB two is

646
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: your starter week one, week two, week three. How long

647
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 4: do you need a QB two waiting for Kyler Murray

648
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 4: to get back?

649
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the big thing. Look, Jeff Driscoll,

650
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 6: to Paula's point, eleven starts. He's got starting experience. I

651
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 6: don't think you want somebody, you know, even if they

652
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 6: draft a rookie in the later rounds, he comes in

653
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 6: as a phenomenal training camp. You know, you don't want

654
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 6: somebody wide eyed in the game opener getting their first

655
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 6: start without any on the field experience in the NFL.

656
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 6: So you've got a guy with playing experience. He's been

657
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 6: around a few clubs, so he's got knowledge of the game.

658
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 6: He know understands defenses. And to me, again going back

659
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 6: to a lot of the things that Jonathan Gannon has

660
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 6: talked about, is they want a culture of competition. And

661
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 6: you know, while it may appear that you know, we're

662
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 6: bringing in guys just as camp arms, you want that

663
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 6: healthy competition. You want guys fighting for every single spot.

664
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 6: And while you know this is potentially a starting position

665
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 6: for the beginning of the season, these quarterbacks potentially are

666
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 6: all auditioning to stay with this team and be the

667
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 6: backup quarterback next year. So you know, I think it's

668
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 6: a good signing. And I think the more competition that

669
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 6: we get, particularly without familiarity with this coaching staff with

670
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 6: what type of offense they're going to run, you know,

671
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 6: you want as much competition and see who rises to

672
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 6: the top through these summer mini camps, through OTAs and

673
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 6: through training camp, so that you make sure that you

674
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 6: get the best players on the field. And at you

675
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 6: know this typically you know, backup quarterback is it's an

676
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 6: important signing. I mean, look at free agency, most of

677
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 6: the initial moves by teams were signings of backup quarterbacks,

678
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 6: but this one's extra important with the potential of starting,

679
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 6: you know, anywhere from a couple to a handful of

680
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 6: games at the beginning of the season that will set

681
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 6: the tone for this team for the rest of the season.

682
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 4: You brought up Jonathan Gannon. Let's go back to the

683
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 4: annual league meeting at the Biltmore. Gannon, addressing reporters, asked

684
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 4: about Colt McCoy and the backup quarterback position.

685
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 12: Colt, I think he's he's doing great. I mean, he's

686
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 12: gets a little extra work here and there, but he's

687
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 12: ready to go and happy where Kyler's at. David as well,

688
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 12: So I like where that room's at and where they're going.

689
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 3: Is that going to be a competition between Colt and David.

690
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 12: Everything is a competition.

691
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 4: Those four war words. Just let them hang just a

692
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 4: little bit. Everything is a competition. And that doesn't preclude

693
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 4: the quarterback position. That is every position. That to your point, Kyle,

694
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 4: I think that's what Gannon wants to make sure May

695
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 4: gets known in that locker room that no position is secure.

696
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 5: I mean, you want everything to be a competition right now,

697
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 5: even in the off season. I'm not just talking about

698
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 5: the roster. When the Cardinals get on the field. You

699
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 5: want a competition right now for the number three pick,

700
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 5: overall among the other thirty teams in the league. You

701
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 5: want a competition for d Hop in the open trade marketplace, Yes,

702
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 5: you do want everything ideally to be a competition, but

703
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 5: there's something else you want when it comes to quarterbacks.

704
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 5: And how often has Drew Stand on this very show

705
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 5: talked about that chemistry in the quarterback room, and you're

706
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 5: not as apt to bring in an unknown into that

707
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 5: quarterback room when you have a two hundred million dollar

708
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 5: plus quarterback in Kyler Murray. You got to make sure

709
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 5: the atmosphere in the vibe is just right. So it's

710
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 5: not a surprise that a they brought back or they're

711
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 5: retaining Cole McCoy's still under contract for this coming season.

712
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 5: They brought back David Blow, they had experienced with him,

713
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 5: they know the sort of player and person he is.

714
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 5: And then at Jeff Driscoll, who once again as years

715
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 5: spent with Dave Sears at least, and that familiarity. So

716
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 5: you want to make sure that the formula is right

717
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 5: in the quarterback room, that everyone is there to support

718
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 5: a Kyler Murray. And so I think that's why this

719
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 5: was very strategic in who you signed in a Jeff Driscoll.

720
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 5: I'll add to those connections in that quarterback room. David

721
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 5: Blow and Jeff Driscoll were teammates in twenty nineteen night

722
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 5: that season they combined to start eight games for the

723
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 5: Detroit Lions. And yeah, you want it's a good point, Paul,

724
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 5: because you want to make sure not that Kyler Murray

725
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 5: would ever have to look over his shoulder at someone

726
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 5: coming up from behind, but you want to be sure

727
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 5: that those players Kyle in that room are helping Kyler

728
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 5: Murray are fostering his growth and making sure that they

729
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 5: are doing everything in his power their power to make

730
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 5: sure what he is back, he's ready to go. Or

731
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 5: what if he brought in a Jacoby Brissett, right, who

732
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 5: has the history of Drew Petsing. But Jacoby Brissett, you

733
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 5: know how it works in the preseason. Oh, he lights

734
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 5: it on fire against Vanilla defenses, right, and all of

735
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 5: a sudden, the fans are clamoring for Jacoby Brissett because

736
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 5: he's the answer this year. You can't risk that sort

737
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 5: of dynamic or potential to happen when a Kyler Murray

738
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 5: is going to be coming back and it might be

739
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 5: a slower turn from injury.

740
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, into your earlier point. Look, one of the things

741
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 6: we saw from Colt McCoy is he was he has

742
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 6: the ability to win you games when you need it,

743
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 6: which is ultra important early in this season. But he

744
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 6: was the first person Kyler Murray would go to when

745
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 6: he came off the field. He is an extra ear

746
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 6: in the meeting rooms and in the locker room. He

747
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 6: acts not only as a backup quarterback, but as a

748
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 6: part time OC, as a part time head coach. I mean,

749
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 6: there's tremendous value. So you've got to look not only

750
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 6: who can get us to those first few games, but

751
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 6: who will continue to help Kyler in his development, particularly

752
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 6: learning a new offense.

753
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 3: Again four quarterbacks?

754
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 4: Is there a fifth potentially added this soft season? Stay

755
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 4: tuned as we all await answers. It is the Cardinals

756
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 4: Red Sea Report presented by Seat Keep your Ticket to

757
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 4: Great Seats. This is the Arizona Cardinals Right do.

758
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 13: Network don't straight drop back throws over the middle and

759
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 13: a one handed intercepted by Youaiah Simmons a midfield runs it.

760
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 10: Back to the left of the Morning Panda learning pad,

761
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 10: the twenty five pen, the twenty ten Simmons in the

762
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 10: backs of Cup ten orcep differ parents, We're touchdown by

763
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 10: the Cardinals at the.

764
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: End of the half.

765
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 13: Oh my goodness, want to play Isaiah Simmons just standing

766
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 13: there in his.

767
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: Own room on the middle of the field.

768
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 13: There's that sub four four of Isaiah Simmons touchdown?

769
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 6: Baby?

770
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: Now is that for what we see? Linebacker Isaiah Simmons,

771
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 4: cornerback Isaiah Simmons, Safety Isaiah Simmons a year ago, seventeen

772
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 4: games played, started, thirteen finished with ninety nine tackles, five

773
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 4: tackles for loss. He can play anywhere and everywhere on

774
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: that football field, Kyle. But the question is with this

775
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 4: new defense and new defensive coordinator, But are they envisioned

776
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: an Isaiah Simmons who is in during his fourth year

777
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 4: with a fifth year option. Dare I say, still yet

778
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 4: to be picked up? And that is that deadline is

779
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 4: approaching rather quickly.

780
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's that's the challenge

781
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 6: of this coaching staff is to find the right spot

782
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 6: for him and get him in that spot. Look, he

783
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 6: is a unique talent. His ability to close on offensive players,

784
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 6: his ability to make big hits. We've all seen his

785
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 6: ability to make game changing plays. I mean, it seems

786
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 6: like he has a knack for it, you know, and

787
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 6: he will stand out and be player of the game

788
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 6: one week, and then the next week he disappears. And

789
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,959
Speaker 6: I think, you know, a lot of us harken back

790
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 6: to Hassan Reddick, where it seems like we were playing

791
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 6: maybe maybe playing him out of position, maybe not getting

792
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 6: the most out of him. You know. I think in

793
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 6: real short order, this coaching staff needs to identify where

794
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 6: he is most valuable, where he is in the best

795
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 6: position to make plays and help this defense and get

796
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 6: there and make him focus on just that one spot

797
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 6: and just let him go, because one thing he does

798
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 6: do well is play with instincts. When you put too

799
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 6: much on his plate and make him think about twenty

800
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 6: different things and having to adjust to different formations, coverages

801
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 6: and play safety. One snapplay corner of the next snapplay

802
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 6: outside linebacker and then hey, let's have you rush the

803
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 6: passer on this next play. I think it's too much.

804
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 6: I'm not saying it's you know, as a fault of his,

805
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 6: It's too much for any player. Like you know, my

806
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 6: success in the NFL came when everything was simplified and

807
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 6: I just had one or two tasks on every play

808
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 6: and I could just go. And I think he's that

809
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 6: same type of player where he's got that dog in him.

810
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 6: He loves the contact, he loves to be in the mix.

811
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 6: But you've just got to put him in a position

812
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 6: where he's not thinking and he's out there just reacting.

813
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 5: So they're trying to decide on his fifthier option, whether

814
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 5: to pick it up or not. And I think everyone

815
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 5: is trying to decide along with that.

816
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 3: Who are you? What are you?

817
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 5: What position do you play? Where are you best suited?

818
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

819
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 5: Hassan Redick had a position. He was an edge rusher.

820
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 5: He's phenomenal in All American in college, and then they

821
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 5: tried him an inside linebacker. Had all the athleticism in

822
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 5: the world, but it didn't translate because he was always

823
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 5: a step slow. He didn't have those instincts and inside linebackers,

824
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 5: so they returned him to the position he was familiar with.

825
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 5: While in college, Isaiah Simmons played as many different positions

826
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 5: as he's been playing in the NFL, and there's still

827
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 5: no definitive answer.

828
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 6: What is he?

829
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 5: How do you best utilize him? I've thrown in a

830
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 5: Kyle a number of times? Could you make him an

831
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 5: edge rusher? And there's a lot of different opinion on that.

832
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 5: Some people say he's not stout enough to hold the edge,

833
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 5: he's not heavy enough. Teams would run right out of me.

834
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 5: He'd be such a liability in the run game. Could

835
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 5: he really, on a consistent basis beat an offensive tackle?

836
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 5: So where do you use him?

837
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 11: What?

838
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 5: And if they haven't decided yet, is that your answer?

839
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 5: Are they going to part ways with Isaiah Simmons? I

840
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 5: don't expect it, but I don't think it would be

841
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 5: a shocker either if they don't pick it up.

842
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 4: Do we get maybe an answer next week? You get

843
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 4: the voluntary veteran mini camp because Jonathan Gannon is a

844
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 4: first year head coach, you get that extra week. It

845
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 4: is the week of the draft. It is before May first,

846
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 4: when that deadline to exercise or not exercise that fifty

847
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 4: year option. Do they get an answer on what Simmons

848
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 4: might best be able to do in April and project

849
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 4: to September?

850
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 6: Well, I think again, with where this team is, I

851
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 6: think part of your answer comes in you know, what

852
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 6: is he like in the locker room? Is he going

853
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 6: to fit into this culture we're building. Is he going

854
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 6: to be a part of the answer moving forward or

855
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 6: is he going to be part of the problem? And

856
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 6: you know, to me again, it seems to be such

857
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 6: an emphasis and I love it of you know, we're

858
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 6: a team. We need people to buy in. We want

859
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 6: people excited to walk into this building for practice and

860
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 6: love being an Arizona Cardinals. So I think you need

861
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 6: to understand that as well, not just how fast can

862
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 6: you get from point A to point B? How many

863
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 6: interceptions can he make? How many tackles can he make?

864
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 6: Is he's somebody that's going to grab a rookie and

865
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 6: spend time with him after practice because that's what's going

866
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 6: to make the team better. Is he somebody that's going

867
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 6: to spend extra time in the film room in week

868
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 6: fifteen even though you're exhausted, because he is a true pro.

869
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 6: I think all these things are a part of the

870
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 6: equation of is this somebody that we want to keep

871
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 6: around and build around? And I mean athletically, there's no

872
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 6: question ability, there's no question I think some of the

873
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 6: other things are something that they need to figure out.

874
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 5: And if you pick up his fifth year option, guess

875
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 5: what that's going to cost you twelve point seven million.

876
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 5: There's a lot of cash. And if you haven't picked

877
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 5: it up yet, are you signaling to the rest of

878
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 5: the NFL make us an offer between now and the draft.

879
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,479
Speaker 5: By the way Berg Gang, our next show a week
