00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: let's get back to the stadium for analysis and exclusive

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: interviews from the Cardinals locker room. Here's Ron Wolfleet and

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: Paul Calvicy.

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: Michael Wilson in the Cardinals Locker Room joining us here

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Michael Wilson, who had

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: four grabs for twenty two yards, including that nine yard catch.

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: And I know every one of you guys whould trade

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: all your personal stats for a dub. What's the toughest

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: part about this one? Michael, It's just.

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: Not getting it done.

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 4: I think you know been in this situation a lot

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 4: of times, haven't been able to put games away in

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter.

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: So pretty frustrating.

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: When you look at the Cardinals offense, I mean, I

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: can cite a lot of stats here. You guys dominated

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: time of possession thirty seven to twenty three. You doubled

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: first downs against the Rams twenty four to twelve, six

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: to thirteen on third down? What was clicking? What'd you

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: like about the offense by the Cardinals tonight?

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: I feel like we're able to detect the defenses in

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: the multiple multitude of ways, spreading the ball around, explosive

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: short gains, fourteen play drives.

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 4: You know, Michael Carter played his ass off. Trey McBride

29
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 4: obviously had continue to do what he does. Marv was

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: able to get going. That's just the margins, to say out,

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: the margin of baron in the NFL is so small,

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: and even with you know, winning the game in those aspects,

33
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: it's it does sometimes it doesn't reflect on the on

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: the score work.

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 5: Michael, Did the Rams do anything differently by coming out here,

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 5: of course, especially in that second half. Did they do

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 5: anything differently than what you expected? Michael?

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: Hmm, Uh, I don't think so.

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: I think, you know, they're pressuring a lot on first

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: and second down when we win our dropbacks, so I

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: think that led to a couple of sacks by Covin. Obviously,

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 4: take sacks. It puts you behind the sticks and sometimes

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: those are hard to overcome. But I think for the

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 4: most part, they did exactly what we thought they were

45
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: going to do on base downs and on third down.

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: Michael Wilson is our guest. You know you mentioned defensively

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: talk about the Rams, and really you talk about virtually

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: any team the Cardinals play, seemingly they're going to force

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 2: the Cardinals to book together long drives, right. I mean

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: you had the one yard touchdown pass to Trey McBride

51
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: that was a thirteam play drive. The Chad Royland field

52
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: goal is a fourteen play drive. Is that part of

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: the challenge right now for the Cardinals offense. It's going

54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: against these two high safety shell coverages. They're going to

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: force you to put together extended drives.

56
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

57
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: I think the one thing about the Rams is what's

58
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: led to their success in the latter half of the

59
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: season is their red zone defense has been phenomenal in

60
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: the last in their last nine games. And but yeah,

61
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: it has been a struggle. But also I think you

62
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 4: know that's a I think can be a winning statistic

63
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 4: is when you're able to control the clock and put

64
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 4: together long drives and then get points out of it,

65
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: whether it's field gorts, I mean, you want to have touchdowns.

66
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: But I think that played in our favor a little bit.

67
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: We just like I said, we just weren't able to

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: come finish the game with a with a win.

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 5: Michael, do you feel like you guys came out here

70
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 5: and executed the game plan the way that you wanted to,

71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 5: or did you make adjustment's mid stream as well.

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, our game plan was just to score one more

73
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: point than the other team, and you know we didn't.

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: I think statistically wise, like I said, we I think

75
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: our offense was played really, really well, but that always

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: doesn't guarantee success. And I think what's glaring from this

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 4: game in my initial takeaway is that's a harder just

78
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 4: to win the National Football League, like the margin fair,

79
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: especially late in December when you get you know, around

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: playoff time, it's just so difficult to win. You can

81
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: do everything right, sometimes the ball doesn't bounce you away.

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: And I think, I think, surely, I think that's what

83
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: happened today.

84
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: Give me a quick word on the passing game in particular,

85
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: nine different receivers, a bunch more chunk plays, you know,

86
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: the downfield passing attacks seemed to really evolve and grow

87
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 2: in this game.

88
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. I thought it was.

89
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: It was a fun fun game to be around or

90
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: be a part of. Marv catching explosives. Even Zay Jones

91
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: got going. Greg had a few catches, Elijah had a

92
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: few catches, you know, Trey mar myself. Yeah, I think

93
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: that's kind of a picture of what we can be

94
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: when we're clicking.

95
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 5: Or typically they play man cover eighteen percent of the

96
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 5: time for the most part, in zone covered seventy eight percent, Yeah,

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 5: all the time. Did you did you feel like they

98
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: played a little bit more man today than what you've

99
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: seen on tape?

100
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: No, I don't know. I didn't.

101
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: I didn't feel feel like they played a lot of

102
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 4: man outside of maybe they were sprinking in the man

103
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 4: on base, but on third down is when their highest

104
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: percentage of man shows up. I felt like, you know,

105
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: we got some some eleven pressure and some man on

106
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: third down. But I didn't feel like it was like

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: Week three when we played Detroit.

108
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: Where was the whole game was playing man?

109
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

110
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: Or Miami? But yeah, I know, I didn't feel I

111
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: didn't feel like it was too much man.

112
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: My last question for Michael Wilson, for everyone who wondered,

113
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: everyone outside that locker room, who wondered, all right with

114
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: the Cardinals bringing they're going against the team that's playing

115
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: for everything, playing for a chance to clinch, what can

116
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: you tell us about the mentality tonight going into this game?

117
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think ghosts showed the Metallia team, but also

118
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: it'd be it'd be indictment on everyone in the building

119
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: if they didn't show up the same way.

120
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: Just I mean, this is the NFL, I think not.

121
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 4: I think I know everyone has dreamed of being in

122
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: this position. And if you'd have told me ten years

123
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: ago to have opportunity to play, and you know, a

124
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: week seventeen game against the Los Angeles Rams, like a

125
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: teenager me would have perked up and said, no way.

126
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 4: And you know, there's no way I would not come

127
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: out here. Anyone in this locker would not come out

128
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 4: here and show up the same way, even if this was,

129
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 4: you know, for a playoff Berth on the line.

130
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: So I think that's just really just a given.

131
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: And if you know guys are not doing that, then

132
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: they shouldn't be in the NFL.

133
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: Then it is a privilege to play in this league.

134
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 5: So, Michael, I know you haven't seen the tape, of course,

135
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: and there's no real chance that you're gonna know for

136
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 5: sure how to answer this question, But how do you

137
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: feel that Kyler Murray and this offense played today?

138
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: I think, statistically wise, I mean, I feel like we

139
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: played well, I think it's just one or two plays

140
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: away from from winning the game.

141
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: I mean play at the end of the game. They

142
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: stopped us.

143
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 4: On fourth down when we were in the I don't

144
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: know if we're in the red zone, but I know

145
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 4: we're the fringe of getting in the red zone on

146
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 4: fourth and one. I felt like we did enough to

147
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: put ourselves in a position to win the game.

148
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: I think just one or two more plays swing our

149
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: way in the results.

150
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: Differently, Michael, thank you, Michael, thank you, Buddy, Sure, thank you, guys,

151
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: appreciate it. There you go. Michael Wilson won a nine

152
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: different targets that Kyler hit tonight for completions. And I think,

153
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: you know, it's something that every team encounters for the

154
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: most part. You know, teams are more to you, to

155
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: your point about the certain coverages and the way they play.

156
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: They're gonna make you go down the field, and they're

157
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: gonna make you do it. In twelve fifteen, eighteen play drives,

158
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: and so the Cardinals did get a downfield passing attack going.

159
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: They did get a number of chunk plays, but ultimately

160
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: it's all about finishing, finishing drives and finishing games.

161
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paulli I you know, I haven't. I don't see

162
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 5: the numbers in front of me right now. I don't

163
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 5: have them. But the red zone, I wonder about the

164
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: red zone possessions right there, because.

165
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals were one of four, the Rocks were one of two.

166
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 5: There you go, one of you know what, PAULI there

167
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: it is right there, one of four opport unities for

168
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals offense in the red zone. And that's

169
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: man four times having the ball inside their twenty and

170
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: only converting a touchdown once. And honestly, that is the

171
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 5: Rams defense. That's who they are. Even though they're number

172
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: twenty four number twenty six respectively in terms of total

173
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: yards per game allowed and total yards per play allowed,

174
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 5: they're much better in terms of their red zone defense.

175
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: Tied for number five coming into today, tied for number

176
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 5: five in the National Football League with their red zone defense,

177
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 5: and by the way, tied for number four in goal

178
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 5: to goal situations. That's how well they have played ultimately

179
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 5: in the red zone. It's one of the reasons why

180
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 5: they're right in the middle of the pack in regard

181
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 5: to how many points they've given up per game twenty

182
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 5: three point one points per game. But that's the Rams

183
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 5: defense for the most part. Let you work the ball

184
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 5: down the field. We're going to jump you in the

185
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: red zone and that's where we're gonna play well, not

186
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 5: allowing you to score touchdowns.

187
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: And it's easy to look at the very end of

188
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: the game. It's easy to look at the final interception. Well,

189
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: let's not forget the Cardinals were shut out in the

190
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: first half for the first time all year. It was

191
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: ten to nothing at the half. Cardinals defense came out

192
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: balling the Rams first four possessions only seventeen plays run

193
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: sixty yards, no points, and then whether they made an

194
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: adjustment or not, the last two possessions of the first

195
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: half netted them seventeen plays, one hundred and seven yards

196
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: and ten points, held only a Fueld goal in the

197
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: second half.

198
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and also too, I thought that the I thought

199
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 5: that the Cardinals' offensive line struggled in that first half,

200
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 5: in particular to protect Kyler Murray. I don't know how

201
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 5: you feel about that, poly, but felt like there were

202
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: some guys that were getting pushedback, some in interior penetration

203
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 5: that was being allowed.

204
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: Right there.

205
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: Kyler seemed to be coming out of the pocket an

206
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 5: awful lot. Now, some of that, of course, was by design.

207
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 5: Some of that was bootlegs and waggles and half rolls

208
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 5: that were coming out after play actions. But it seemed

209
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: like Kyler was on the move an awful lot today

210
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 5: when they dialed it up, they were able to get

211
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 5: pressure on him more times than not. And that's something

212
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 5: that I know JG and his staff will break down tomorrow.

213
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,479
Speaker 2: Speaking of JG, the head coach will join us momentarily

214
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: here on the Cardinals locker Room Show once again. Cardinals

215
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: fall thirteen to nine here in LA this close to

216
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: a season sweep of the La Rams. What would have

217
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: been a really costly loss for a Rams team that

218
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: is on the fringe of the postseason. You know, the

219
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks were watching this game, and it was also

220
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: a game where the Cardinals moved the ball. Yes, Cardinals

221
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: dominated time of possession, but red zone would be one

222
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: area and then penalties would be the other. Cardinals came

223
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: in tied with the Rams as the least penalized teams

224
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: in the league, but nine penalties, including a couple that

225
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: wiped out big gains. Trey McBride in particular, had a

226
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: huge gain on one and so when you're going with

227
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: a backup offensive line, as you cited your eight different

228
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: offensive line combination due to injuries, and you're playing young

229
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: guys for the first time, like Christian Jones at tackle

230
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: and and at Jackson Barton. You know, it's those other

231
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: little things that Michael Wilson cited, like penalties, that can

232
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: become big things, especially when ends up being a thirteen

233
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: to nine final.

234
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 5: You know, for me, PAULI, once again, as a former

235
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: professional athlete, a guy who played in this league and

236
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 5: I love the game of football, the blood sport and

237
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 5: everything about it. To have guys come out here and

238
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 5: ball out the way that they did, now, it wasn't enough,

239
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 5: It wasn't good enough, and I know fans will never

240
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 5: understand this perspective. But for me once again as a

241
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: former player, to see these guys come out and be

242
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 5: ready to play this game, even though they came off

243
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 5: of the Carolina loss and being eliminated from the postseason,

244
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: to see them come out with a furrowed brow and

245
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 5: bloody knuckles and play the game the way that it's

246
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: supposed to be played when it really didn't mean anything

247
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 5: in terms of a postseason appearance. It makes me proud

248
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 5: of the guys that actually balled out. And again that's

249
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 5: from a former players perspective, not a fans.

250
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Think of the job the defense did against Kyen Williams

251
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: thirteen carries for fifty six yards, Right, he didn't wreck

252
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: the game. Think of the job they did against Cooper

253
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: Cup He had one catch for twenty nine yards, albeit

254
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: it was a key catch in the game.

255
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

256
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: So defensively, the Cardinals obviously did enough to win this game. Correct,

257
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: thirteen points on the board for the Rams.

258
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, if you would have told me that

259
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 5: the Rams are going to score thirteen points in this game,

260
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 5: there's no way in the world that would have thought

261
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 5: we lose this game. So the defense once again overachieved,

262
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 5: and we have seen them overachieve at certain times in

263
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 5: the season. And I think of how many dbs did

264
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 5: we lose today, Paul, how many guys actually went down

265
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 5: and at somehow, some way everybody that ran out there

266
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 5: on the field contributed and bawled out and played as

267
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 5: hard as they could.

268
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: Let's not forget they lost James Connor early in this game.

269
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: The heartbeat of the offense, your Pro Bowl running back

270
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: and Michael Carter came in thirteen carries seventy yards over

271
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: five yards of carry. At along of thirteen, Michael Carter

272
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: was running between the tackles. Michael Carter was making guys

273
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: miss in space. He was getting out to the edge

274
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: and turning the corner. He was stoking it on short

275
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: yardage games when gotta have it downs and look, we

276
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: talked about it. We had Michael Carter on for a

277
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: good hour on the Big Red Rage just the other night.

278
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: He doesn't lack for confidence and as a rookie, he

279
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: led the New York Jets and rushing and the moment

280
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: was certainly not too big for Michael Carter tonight.

281
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 5: No, only just knowing him, He's not a big guy

282
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 5: at all, diminutive indeed, and yet only does is play

283
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 5: like he's a giant who runs the ball with an

284
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 5: authority that again belies his physical frame. He does not

285
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 5: have a frame where you're gonna stoke it and attack

286
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 5: would be tacklers, and yet that's exactly what he did

287
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 5: out here. Once again, I am a huge Michael Carter

288
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: fan because of how he runs the ball.

289
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: Would you say anything to Trey McBride, I mean, what

290
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: a game for Trey mcplay right, doesn't catches on sixteen targets.

291
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: Buck twenty three got his touchdown. But that final play

292
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: in the way it ended, you know, that's tough. We

293
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: know how competitive Trey McBride is, and that's why I

294
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: think of that and wonder in the moment.

295
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, hum, once again, it looked like zero coverage. I

296
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 5: didn't see the replay of it other than the man

297
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 5: coverage in the secondary and Trey McBride running me out

298
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: and Kyler getting the ball out quickly because he recognized

299
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: here it is. This is it zero blitz Throw the

300
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 5: ball and for the ball to hit him right in

301
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 5: the dome, go right off the dome as Trey was

302
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 5: just turning his head around. I got a feeling to

303
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 5: your point, that's gonna haunt Trey a little bit because

304
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 5: he is so hard on himself. He is competitive, and

305
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 5: he expects to make plays. He wants to make plays,

306
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 5: and that was one play too far for him, and

307
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 5: that's gonna bother my think.

308
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: Trey McBride was the Cardinals leading receiver. Puka Nakou was

309
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: the Rams leading receiver. He had ten catches on fourteen targets,

310
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: a Buck twenty nine along at twenty five. And I

311
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: bring that up because since Week ten, he leads the

312
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: NFL and catches and he's number two in receiving yards.

313
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: And he's someone who didn't play in that first game,

314
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: and it was one of the reasons a lot of

315
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: people cited all guess what, the way that game ended

316
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: up so lopsided in the Cardinals favor in week two,

317
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: it could be easily be a reverse of that here

318
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: in Week seventeen, considering what's at stake and how healthy

319
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: the Rams were, and it was anything but to your point,

320
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals came out and made this a very competitive game

321
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: all the way to the very end. And by the way,

322
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: in terms of defense, Buddha Baker ended up with seven tackles,

323
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: second only to Kaisier White who had eight. Mac Wilson

324
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: had a half dozen, along with Jalen Thompson who had

325
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: a half dozen tackles as well. But again, you're going

326
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: against a Matthew Stafford who in his Rams career is

327
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: now thirteen and one in December, this sixteen year vegan

328
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: with a Super Bowl ring, and you're talking about a

329
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: team that knows what they're doing, a proven team in December. Yeah,

330
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: and the Cardinals were a few plays away from winning

331
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: in the Rams home building.

332
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 5: Well, think about it right now, you're talking about a

333
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 5: Rams team that has won nine of their last eleven

334
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: yep nine of their last eleven. Ball, that's really, really good.

335
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: Let's go into the locker room as advertised the head

336
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: coach John I think Ann and joins us here on

337
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: the Cardinals Locker Room Show, Paul kelvc Ron Wolfley and coach.

338
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 2: Let's just start at the very end. What did you

339
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 2: see on the target to Trey McBride then ended up

340
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: carrying into the air and into the hands of the

341
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: La Rams.

342
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, sometimes ball doesn't bounce your way, you know. I

343
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 6: just I think it was, you know, as it was

344
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 6: bang banging there, and you just think it his hands

345
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 6: up quick enough, I guess this seemed like it hit

346
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 6: him kind of right in the face and then it

347
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 6: bounced up in the air and the dB made a

348
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 6: good play.

349
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: For everything the Cardinals did tonight, what do you think

350
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: will stick with you most considering the outcome?

351
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, our competitive spirit honestly, you know, a

352
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 6: team that's not you know, we're not going to be

353
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 6: playing in January. And I thought the battle and the

354
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 6: fight was there, you know, And I told them I

355
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 6: appreciate that because a lot of teams would pack it

356
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: in and I knew that wasn't going to be us

357
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 6: because the character in the locker room and we battled

358
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 6: and the ball didn't bounced our way. You know, a

359
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 6: couple of plays here or there in credit to LA.

360
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 6: You know, they're a good team. They're playing good football

361
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 6: right now, and they figured out how to win. And

362
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 6: it sucks because I'm disappointed and it stings, and but

363
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 6: I just told the media, like, I know we're close, man,

364
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 6: and that doesn't mean but we are close.

365
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 5: We are close. Coach Ron Wolfley here, tough loss. Did

366
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 5: you make adjustments? What adjustments did you make in that

367
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 5: second half?

368
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

369
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 6: You know, honestly, wolf not too many. You know, I

370
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 6: thought the story the first half to me was the

371
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 6: field position game. Like it's like we started backed up

372
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 6: I think twice, you know, and so you can't get

373
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 6: off plays that you normally want, you know, in your

374
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 6: first fifteen because you're backed up there. And then they

375
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 6: were kind of start and you know, they they we

376
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 6: got off the field a couple times. We're playing, you know,

377
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 6: we just kind of lost a fuel position battle, and

378
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 6: then I felt like it was a little more even

379
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 6: in the second half, and I thought we moved it well.

380
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 6: We didn't score enough points. You know, we got chances

381
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 6: in the red zone and the ones on me.

382
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 5: I went for it on fourth and two.

383
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 6: I could have kicked it there, you know, I felt

384
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 6: good about going for it. They made a good play

385
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 6: and then we kind of got you know, I've got

386
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 6: stalled out there in the second in the I think

387
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter I wanted to put points on

388
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 6: the board there to make sure that we cut it

389
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 6: to one and not be you know, to get it

390
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 6: to a field goal if they score all the arithmetic

391
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 6: of it. So there's kind of two of those are

392
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 6: kind of really on me. But we got to score

393
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 6: a couple more points there because I thought we moved

394
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 6: it pretty good, and we had some penalties that kind

395
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 6: of took a explosive off the board and we backed

396
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 6: up a little bit, which is a little bit bent

397
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 6: of our achilles heel, and we don't score a lot

398
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 6: of points. That's the direct correlation to that.

399
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: Would you think of Kylo and especially the downfield pass

400
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: attack his second three hundred yard passing game of the year,

401
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 2: nine different receivers, and there were a lot of chunk.

402
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 6: Plays, Yeah, there were. I mean we were generating some explosives.

403
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 6: And credit to the old line man. I mean those

404
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 6: guys Ballly have a bunch of guys in a lineup,

405
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 6: you know, with I know Beach has played a lot,

406
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 6: but Jackson Barn's in there, Christian Jones is in there,

407
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 6: you know, and James went out with the knee. Mike

408
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 6: Carter was in there. I thought he played well. But yeah,

409
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 6: I mean like if they're you know, certain thought Drew

410
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 6: had a good plan. You know, guys are getting open,

411
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 6: Kyler's finding them. That was the passing game was really

412
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 6: good totnight, coach.

413
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 5: You know, from a former players perspective right now, I'm

414
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 5: so proud of the guys that came out in between

415
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 5: these white lines and played the game, especially coming off

416
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 5: the huge disappointment that was the Carolina game, of course,

417
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 5: and now you're coming into a situation where you're not

418
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: playing for a postseason bid and you're playing a team

419
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 5: that is playing for the postseason right now. I was

420
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 5: really really impressed, coach, with the way that this team

421
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 5: came out and balled out. I'll ask you this right here.

422
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 5: Did you make any comment of this, Did you make

423
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 5: any suggestion about this game in regard to how closely

424
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 5: you and the coaching staff would be watching this game

425
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 5: and how these guys play.

426
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 6: No, I mean, we stuck to our process, Wolf, I.

427
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 6: You know, I told them today though, or this week,

428
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 6: I said, kind of the theme of the week was

429
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 6: put it on tape. And and I think when people

430
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 6: hear that, they automatically assume, oh, because the rest of

431
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 6: the league is watching, right yeah. And I kind of

432
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 6: talked about it from the frame of mind, is the

433
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 6: first people, the only people that we care watching this

434
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 6: game as us yep, And I thought, and that's what

435
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 6: I kind of said. I said, the ultimate team over

436
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 6: you is to make sure that you play with effort

437
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 6: and motor and violence, just like it's week one. And

438
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 6: that's what we did. And I told them, Wolf, I said, sometimes,

439
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 6: you know what, that's a game of football in the NFL.

440
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 6: You know, credit to the Rams. They made a couple

441
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 6: more plays than US ball then bounce our way. But

442
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 6: I'll tell you this, we battled, you know what, I mean,

443
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 6: We're total toe with them. And that's why stings, because

444
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 6: I know we're close. We just got to do things

445
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 6: a little bit better to get these, you know, losses

446
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 6: into wins. But you know, it's it's hard after a

447
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 6: loss to say you're enthused. But I'm enthused about the

448
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 6: people in this locker room right now, and I know

449
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 6: we're on the right path.

450
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: I really do. Wolf Yep, coach. We appreciate the insight.

451
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: Thank you, Okay, thank you, guys. Safe there you go.

452
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: Jonathan Gannon in the Cardinals locker room after a game

453
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: that went down to the very last moments, thirteen to nine.

454
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: And for everything the Cardinals did, and they did a

455
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: lot over three hundred yards passing Michael Carter filling in

456
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: for James Connor, how about a defense that bottled up

457
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: Kyra and Williams and held the Rams to thirteen points.

458
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 2: By the way, the Rams for the third straight week,

459
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: they won twelve to six against the Niners. They won

460
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: nineteen to nine against the Jets at the very end.

461
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: Now they win thirteen to nine against the Cardinals. And

462
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 2: for all that, there were a couple of key areas.

463
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: You know, it would be the flags, the penalties, nine

464
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 2: of them, and then it would be the red zone

465
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: one for four and I think those two areas were

466
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 2: very costly in the final outcome of this game.

467
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm of everything that happened here today, Paulia. I'm
