1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Well. The Cardinals suffered two losses on Sunday, one in

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: the standings and one well, one that may not be

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: able to replace no matter how they try. God, Paul

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Calvicy with me, Bird Gang. Together we try and make

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: sense of what happened in San Francisco and how the

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: team moves forward without James Connor. It's Cardinals Cover two,

Speaker 1: He's a the ten half of five. He's it again,

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: so more hurry magic.

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: Whow Here's Craigcriolo.

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if you notice, Paul. I know

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: things are a little hectic, You're busy right before kickoff.

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: But I did try to give you some love before

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: the game started. You know, typically I you know, I'll

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: laugh sometimes. You know about the weather, you know what

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be like. But here is the tweet.

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Unlike last year, the weather is perfect for at Paul

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: Calfy c seventy two degrees right kickoff?

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: Really okay, once again the underreporting of the high temperature.

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: I've got it right here is this game, but right here,

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: that's right, seventy two wins southeast seven miles per hour.

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: Somewhere the light detector just went off. I will say this,

28
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: It wasn't last year. It wasn't absolutely roasting and baking

29
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: out there and the you know, in the middle of

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: the desert. That's what it felt like last year. But

31
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: I will say at the end of the game, game ends. Ah,

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: we'll talk about the end of the game, and then

33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: we make our way towards the Cardinals locker room, which

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: is on the other side of the field, and then

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: you enter the shade. It wasn't just a lack of

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: direct sunlight. It was a good twenty degrees cooler, seemingly

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 3: on the Niners sideline. It was like walking into the

38
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: ac from a hot Arizona parking lot. That's that was

39
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: the difference. So I'm not saying that was the difference

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: in the game. I'm just saying it is a What

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: you can't see on TV is the home field advantage

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: this time of year.

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm just noticing humidity sixty five percent, so maybe that

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: was yeah problematic.

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the wildline over there, the frizz factor on the

46
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: sideline verified that. Speaking of before kickoff, it was a

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: surreal moment for yours truly, not that anybody cares, so

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: I'll make this in seven second mem No, but I

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: met a guy who I was best friends with in

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: eighth grade. I hadn't seen in twenty five years, and

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: the guy shouted out my name like three times, and

52
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: I thought it was some pesky fan, and I turn over,

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: turn around, and it's my buddy, Craig Urban from Brett

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 3: Hart Junior High School, who I hadn't seen, literally like

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: twenty five years. Crazy. Didn't even recognize him. He had

56
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: to shout out his name. And then I'm like, oh,

57
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: so that was kind of crazy. That poortend's absolutely nothing,

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: but I thought i'd share that.

59
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: Hey, as long as we can delay the inevitable here

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: on Cardinals cover two. All right, let's get into it.

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: Cardinals on Sunday lose at San Francisco sixteen to fifteen,

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: dropped to two and one on the season, joining the

63
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Rams. Right now, everyone looking up at the

64
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: three San Francisco forty nine ers. We can get into

65
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: the offensive struggles, how the defense once again put the

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals in position to win a ballgame, but I think

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: we need to begin with what I think is going

68
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: to Linger, certainly the rest of this week and maybe

69
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Paul the rest of the season, because you lose James

70
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Connor right ankle injury, according to reports done for the

71
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: season needs surgery. But you're on that sideline. You've talked

72
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: about it a number of times. We can see it,

73
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: whether you're at State Farm Stadium or watching on television.

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: No question, the heart and soul of the offense and

75
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: maybe the heartbeats of the team overall, regardless of offense,

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: defense or special teams. But to see number six lay

77
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: on the ground and his emotions, and then TV cameras

78
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: not showing the replay and just panning to teammates Kyler

79
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Murray in particular, the anguish on their faces and the

80
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: urgency of not only the Cardinals players, forty nine Ers

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: players rushing medical staff onto the field as soon as

82
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: possible to tend to James Connor, who was ultimately carted

83
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: off the field, and not immediately but soon after ruled

84
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: out for the rest of that game, and as we

85
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: again reportedly done for the rest of the season.

86
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: You heard Jonathan Gannon after the game our locker room interview,

87
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: and he gave props to the forty nine ers, the

88
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: entire roster, their sideline, for the class they showed, the

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: respect they showed. James Connor is in the ninety ninth

90
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: percentile of players, players, no players, and the respect level

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: they have for him is right there at the very

92
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: very top.

93
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: He's not just a.

94
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: Player, he is a mindset. He is a mentality. There's

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: no doubt the Cardinals sideline feeds off him both sides

96
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: of the ball, his physicality. You go into a division fight,

97
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: you are glad you have James Connor. He's the first

98
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: dude off the bus. That's the kind of guy he is.

99
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: So it's a massive loss and there's no doubt that

100
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: the halftime adjustment was to feed James Connor. He came out,

101
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: he had nine yards ripped off a nine yard run

102
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 3: to start the second half. It was second and one.

103
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: They gave him the next carry and that's gonna be

104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: his last carry all season. Horrific. I did purposely do

105
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: not watch the replay I'm not going to watch it.

106
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: I saw the way it happened from the sideline. I

107
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: had a pretty good visual of it. It was just

108
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: an awkward way in which his foot planted. He couldn't

109
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: get his weight off that foot before the other guys

110
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 3: took him down the wrong way, got twisted the wrong

111
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: and so it was it's palpaba on the sideline. When

112
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: a guy like that gets injured, it's visceral. It's a

113
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 3: gut punch, and it was a big mental hurdle to

114
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: come back and fight back after that occurrence.

115
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: Day pash Aq Shippley on the broadcast brought that up

116
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and was pash In fact, it was Aq mentioned it

117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: first that you know you hate it, and then okay,

118
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: how do you move forward? And typically it's okay, well

119
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: we're just gonna move the play up five yards and

120
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: continue and PASSI immediately chimed in, well this happened to you, Aq,

121
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: happened at State Farm Stadium towards ACL And what happened, yep,

122
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: practice continue. They just moved it up five yards to

123
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: keep going. Now, the game briefly halted, but that drive continued.

124
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals went fifteen plays almost eighty yards ended in a

125
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: Chad Ryland field goal. But what you saw on that

126
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: drive again, some mistakes, some penalties, costly dropped by a

127
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Mari de Mercado. Now would you have been in that

128
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: situation if Connor is on the field healthy, Probably not.

129
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: But that's what happens when there is an injury. Someone

130
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: needs to get that tap on the shoulder, take the

131
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: field and step up. Didn't happen on that particular drive.

132
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: But I think that drive was the story of the

133
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: game because double digit drive that ends in three points

134
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: and that offense was on the field a ton on Sunday,

135
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: but only mastering or only getting one offensive touchdown.

136
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the downfield passing attack was tough to come by.

137
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: Establishing a consistent run game tough to come by. That

138
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: was the drive where we had the twenty nine yard

139
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: run by Trey Benson. So you had the explosive but

140
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: again it's those little things. It's the self inflicted it's

141
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: multiple drops by multiple different players, and that is the

142
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: difference here. Jonathan Gannon after the game say that's how

143
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: close the margins are. He called it the margins when

144
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: you're going against a forty nine ers team, a Seahawks team,

145
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: that's coming off a big win, you're gonna you cannot

146
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: kill yourself with those small things. Kyle Ustchek, the full

147
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: back for the forty nine ers, caught his ball and

148
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: it was in the end zone. Cardinals full back on

149
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: that play was Amaro Demurcato. He did not make the catch,

150
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: and so that can easily be the difference in the game.

151
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: The one miss field goal, the difference in the game.

152
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: There's so many little things you can point to that

153
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: end up proving, you know, decisive and instrumental, especially when

154
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: you're going on the road against a team like that,

155
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: a team that was ultra banged up. Think of all

156
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: the guys they were missing out there, and then Nick

157
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: Bosa to go down basically the end of the first

158
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: quarter and not come back. And so for all your

159
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: Kyler lament that after the game that the Niners were

160
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: banged up, and in the Cardinals eyes in that locker room,

161
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: there's no doubt they should have won that game. You know,

162
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: I went in to do some of the interviews and

163
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: the frustration was real, it was palpable, it was audible.

164
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray post game, I felt like we let that

165
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: one slip. And you mentioned the injuries. You're down, you're

166
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, you're number one wide receiver, number one tight end.

167
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: You brought up Nick Bosa leaving that game after the

168
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: first fifteen minutes. Mikel Williams also getting hurt in the

169
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: first half. He did return though in the third quarter.

170
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: But I thought the loss of Nick Bosa was really

171
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: going to be something that changed the tide for the

172
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals offensively, because no Paris Johnson Junior missing his fourth

173
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: game of his career a little bit of a surprise. Yeah,

174
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: he was limited all week because of a knee injury,

175
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: but inactive. Calvin beachum certainly very capable. But you saw

176
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: how many times ninety seven was lined up over the

177
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: left tackle. It was every single snap, and there was

178
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: some help. Tip Ryman was in there sometimes to chip,

179
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: but more times than not, Nick got the better of

180
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Beach and then all of a sudden, Bosa exits and

181
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, well that eliminates that problem, and then

182
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: the inability to sustain drives, stay on the field, and

183
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: ultimately when you are on the field again. The first

184
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: three drives ten plays, eleven plays, twelve plays, three points

185
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: total in those.

186
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: First three drives, oh well, we reported before the game

187
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: that yes, Nick Bosa will switch sides. He's done in

188
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: his whole career. You will find out what the Niners

189
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 3: think of your offensive line based on where they position him.

190
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: Not unlike Aaron Donald back in the day when the

191
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: Cardinals had Paris Johnson Juniors, a rookie right tackle. How

192
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 3: did they open the game Aaron Donald over the rookie

193
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 3: and so, yes, you will find out right away that

194
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 3: was by design. But to me, it just keeps coming

195
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 3: back to the run game. How do you defeat a

196
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: Nick Bosa, He's two hundred and sixty six pounds. You

197
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: go right at him, or you don't get in second

198
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 3: and obvious passing. You don't go in third and obvious passing.

199
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: You're Jonathan Gannon after the game. What's really vexing in

200
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: the run game is when you get nothing on first

201
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: down when it's second down and ten. Much different game

202
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 3: if it's even second down and six, second down and five,

203
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: and too often it was second down and ten. The

204
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: inability to get the run game going. I also reported

205
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: right before the game on the sideline that it was

206
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: gonna look different. The Cardinals run game was going to

207
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: look different. In terms of the scheme, the play calling.

208
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: You know, it had been a lot of talk after

209
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: the first two games. You have to adjust to the adjustment,

210
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: and that was very real. Teams had made it decided

211
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: it had made a decision that okay when they saw

212
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: the Cardinals bread and butter, as Jonathan Gannon had called

213
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: it on his radio interview, which usually incorporates a pulling

214
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: guard or pulling someone from the backside. And then the

215
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: tight end said pulling as well. What the opposition was

216
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: doing was crashing the edge and then bringing the middle

217
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: line back or downhill and just trying to gum up

218
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: everything in between the tackles, and the Niners did exactly

219
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: that at the beginning of the game. So then the

220
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: Cardinals started with a bit of a different run scheme.

221
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: But once again, you have to win at the point

222
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: of attack, and that is not happening often enough, and

223
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: or you're not getting right guys on the right hats

224
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: and getting the numbers game going, and too often there's

225
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 3: a free hitter. That third to one that James Connor converted,

226
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: we had to spin he got hit in the backfield

227
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 3: to spin away. I mean, that was just a Cardinal's

228
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 3: interior offensive lineman getting beat immediately and for Connor to

229
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: elude that guy in the backfield and still converting it

230
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: enough for a first down was miraculous in the moment.

231
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: Third and one gains the one yard, but it was

232
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: more like a three to four yard run considering where

233
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: James got the handoff and then how many times he

234
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: had to bounce and fight his way for that first down.

235
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: James Connor was featured touch the ball. I think it

236
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: was seven times early in the game. You mentioned second half,

237
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna feed number six again and then only to

238
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: see him lose or see him get hurt and now

239
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: be lost for the season. And I know we got

240
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: calls on Cardinal Talk. Frank Sanders was joining me. I

241
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: know there's a lot of discussion about play calling, about

242
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: the wide receivers, but I'll maintain this, Paul, and feel

243
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: free to disagree. But it's the run game unlocking everything

244
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 3: else within this offense, whether that is the passing game,

245
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 3: the deep shots. If you do not have a consistent

246
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: run game, you do not have a consistent offense. At

247
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: least what we've seen so far in these two plus

248
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: years with JG Andrew Petsing, There's a lot of little

249
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: things that are not adding up to making this a

250
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 3: efficient offense right now. Whether it's the again play calls,

251
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: play execution, the blocking, the running, it's just it's not

252
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: working here through the first three games. And now you

253
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: lose James Connor. How much does this now fall on

254
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: Trey Benson. Do we see more of a Mario de Mercado,

255
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: Bam Knight. Is Michael Carter now an option off the

256
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: practice squad? There's four names for one James Connor. And

257
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: then as you detailed, you can't replace James's presence in

258
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: the locker room and on the football field that's gone.

259
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean he might still travel perhaps later in the season.

260
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: We don't know exect exactly the extent of the ankle injury.

261
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: But again, if you're not playing, it becomes more difficult

262
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: to actually lead out there.

263
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not gonna be able to replace that leadership,

264
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: at least on the offensive side of the ball. Defensively,

265
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 3: you have guys Kalais Campbell, Mack Wilson Senior leading the

266
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: way with his play. We'll get to him in a

267
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: little bit. The other thing you can't replace on the

268
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: field with James Connor is the broken tackles just misstackles forced.

269
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: He's among the league leaders. Ye're in in year out.

270
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 3: Does Trey Benson have some things in his game that

271
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: James Connor does not at thirty years of age. Does

272
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: he have the long speed? Does he have those fresh legs?

273
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: Does he have the burst? You saw it on the

274
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: twenty nine yard run. We've seen it on the fifty

275
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: two yard run. Trey Benson at some point I firmly

276
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: believe will house an explosive for a long touchdown run.

277
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: That's going to happen because he has the ability to

278
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: outrun a secondary. Now, can you get him to break

279
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: those arm tackles consistently? Trey Benson? He's two twenty five plus,

280
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: that's what he told us, and he's maintained that weight.

281
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: But there was a play where he got I think

282
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: it was a quick pass into the first level and

283
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: he sort of almost stopped when the defenders came at

284
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: him in the secondary. And I saw a replay on that.

285
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: It's just lower the pads, deliver the blow, you know,

286
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: maybe bust through two guys, especially if they're dbs, and

287
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: you stay on your feet and you pinball off them.

288
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: So I'd like to see Trey Benson adapt a little

289
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: more of that aggression, delivering the blow and going to

290
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: a little more north south. When he gets in trouble,

291
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: it's when he bounces it outside thinking he's going to

292
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: get the edge, and that rarely happens in the NFL.

293
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: So Trey Benson has the ability. Now can he adopt

294
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: the mentality of a James Conner.

295
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: A lot to ask of a second year player talking

296
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: about Trey Benson, but maybe running back by committee at

297
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: least initially. It is a short week. We'll see how

298
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: much change is done between Sunday and Thursday. The other

299
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: aspects of the offense is stay on the field, and

300
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals in the second half unable to stay on

301
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: the field, just one of six on third down in

302
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: the second half and lamenting the missed opportunities. We talked

303
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: about Amardo Mercado's drop pass. Marvin Harrison Junior had a

304
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: couple of drops, one wide open. Watching it on television,

305
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: there was no one in screenshot of number eighteen. There

306
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: was the drop in the end zone. Fortunately the Cardinals

307
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: bailed out because A. Jones was in the area as well.

308
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why there were two wide receivers at

309
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: that point in the end zone, but Zay was interfered

310
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: allowing that drive to continue. So it's and then there

311
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: was the drop or better defense Onseay Jones on that

312
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: third and nine that you complete that past Paul. This

313
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: we're having a different conversation, maybe still bringing up some

314
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: of the same questions and concerns about the offense, but

315
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: at least you're talking about a three to ohero team

316
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: that has offensive issues. Here we are talking about a

317
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: two to one team that again what's going on offensively?

318
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: And I continue to go back to our colleague long

319
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: time ago, still a good friend, bertrand Barry talking about

320
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: coaches Monday through Saturday, players on Sunday and if you

321
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: were making your block making catches. Again, Cardinals come out

322
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: on the right end of Sunday's game. But it's a

323
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: collective effort when you talk about the offense and the issues,

324
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: because you can point in a number of different directions.

325
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: It's not one person's fault. It's several people's fault, no doubt.

326
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 3: And now, in the absence of James Connor, to me,

327
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 3: it's got to be Trey McBride's show. If you're asking

328
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: for my opinion. Thank you, Craig, appreciate it. I would

329
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: say more targets to Trey McBride. He's the only guy,

330
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe the only guy that might be

331
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: a little strong, but he's the one guy I think

332
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: of who comes close to James Connor of that game

333
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: day mentality. Trey McBride is a different dude once the

334
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: game kicks off. His intensity, his competitive fire, how he

335
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: demands so much of himself. That touchdown catch in the

336
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 3: corner of the end zone was right on our sideline.

337
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: The athleticism to go up and get that and high

338
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: point it and get his feet down and do that

339
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 3: as a tight end. To me, this offense now should

340
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: go through eighty five and then let's see if everyone

341
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: else can elevate their game to match his competitive fire

342
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: what Trey McBride does in attacking the football. Dare I

343
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: say the rest of the receivers good learn a little

344
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 3: bit from that. You know, A Kwon Bolden was in

345
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 3: the owner's suite with the GM and Michael Bidwell on

346
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 3: the Raiders preseason finale, and I'd love to get an

347
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: Kwon Bolden back in the building have a little session

348
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 3: with the Cardinals receiver room. You need to play this

349
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: position like a middle linebacker. You've seen me the highlights

350
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: of AJ Brown and how yeah he was fistfighting in

351
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: that Rams Eagles game for every single.

352
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: Ball was not gonna be denied, not gonna be So

353
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: you're with me on this one right, three words, attack

354
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: the football. Every single receiver in that room would benefit

355
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: from that mentality. And now there's gonna be a lot

356
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: of noise. We get it more than ever all week long.

357
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: You've got nothing to lose. It's okay to get mad,

358
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: it's okay to let it fuel you and fire you.

359
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: I think that's where the Cardinals receiver room should be

360
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: at right now.

361
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: There's too much talent in haarent talon in that room

362
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 3: to not be more productive. And some of it you're

363
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 3: not in SyncE. I mean, I don't know what the

364
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 3: miscommunication was between Marvin and ky Tyler where he stopped

365
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: his route short and Kyler threw down the sideline. Now

366
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: that was Cover two when I took a look back

367
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 3: at that, and in most cases that's the receiver continuing

368
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 3: his route and you're throwing it in between layers of

369
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 3: the defense, between the corner and the flat and the

370
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 3: safety over the top, you're hitting the second level, and

371
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: that's what I'm presuming Kyler was thinking and targeting that

372
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 3: area of the field on the sideline. Marvin wasn't there,

373
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: so he obviously read it differently. But those are the

374
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: kind of mistakes they have to stop.

375
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: Now.

376
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: Minus James Connor, there's even a thinner margin of error.

377
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: We were talking about, Okay, what are the Cardinals do

378
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: in the absence of James Connor and focusing on the

379
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: running back? I like your pivot. Okay, who do you

380
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: trust on that offense? Now forget the offensive line, but

381
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: among skilled position players, who has the trust of the coaches?

382
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: Who has the trust of the quarterback? And top of

383
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: the list is Trey McBride. Who are the two guys

384
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: when they make a play, they look at the sideline,

385
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: they flex, they emote right, the whole sideline gets up.

386
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: They feed off that.

387
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: Those are the two guys on offense, James Connor Trey McBride.

388
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: So to me, it's McBride's show right now. He is

389
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: the proven playmaker. He is the Pro Bowl weapon left.

390
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: James Connor, multiple Pro Bowler, done for the year. Trey McBride,

391
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: he's the guy who's still standing and believe me, Trey

392
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: McBride is built for twelve targets a game. Trey McBride

393
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: is built for ten catches over one hundred yards. Thank goodness,

394
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 3: you got a touchdown to him in week three instead

395
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: of week seventeen through the air. So okay, you know what,

396
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: more police when it comes to Trey McBride, spotlights very

397
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: bright on. Trey McBride's spotlight also shining, maybe with some

398
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: heats on Marvin Harrison Junior. I'll give him credit postgame

399
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 3: standing in front of his locker addressing reporters quote to

400
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 3: go out there and not play anywhere near the best

401
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 3: of my abilities is frustrating, It hurts the team, and

402
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 3: I have to get better, he does. Everyone needs to

403
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: get better now. The other conversation is about the play calling,

404
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 3: specifically the offensive coordinator, and it certainly does sound like,

405
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: no matter what anyone else feels believes, Jonathan Gannon is

406
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 3: going to ride with Drew Petsing. He made that abundantly

407
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: clear postgame with reporters, not only what he said, but

408
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 3: the tone in his voice talking about I have no

409
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: problem with the offensive play calling.

410
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: Never will. I know exactly what we're calling. So if

411
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: you've got a problem with that, you should look at me.

412
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: End quote. And I don't do it justice enough. Good

413
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Aisycardinals dot Com to hear that postgame exchange between the

414
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: head coach and reporters, because yes, through three games, this

415
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: offense has yet to eclipse three hundred total yards. It's

416
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: not scoring enough. So yes, there are tough questions that

417
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: need to be asked. But to focus on one individual,

418
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: to me, I think it's a little short sided when

419
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: there are so many other areas in which you can

420
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: point to to figure out, all right, this is where

421
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: it needs to get better. There are a lot of

422
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: things that need to get better.

423
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: I always hesitake to try and assess play calling. It

424
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: just feels like, okay, if you haven't played the game,

425
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: if you haven't coached the game, you're a little bit

426
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: over your skis on that one. What play call works

427
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: if the offensive line is getting beat not many, And

428
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 3: to me, that's the first fix. We cite everything else

429
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 3: we get it. No, James Connor, sever's got to be

430
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: better both catching the ball, running the right routes, being

431
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: in sync with the quarterback. Kyler's got to be better.

432
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: You can't have the intentional grounding. It's your seven. You know,

433
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: you just can't have that. You saw Mac Jones and

434
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: his ability to get rid of the ball when necessary.

435
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: You know.

436
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: I talked to a few guys about Robert Sala going

437
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 3: into the game on the offensive side of the ball,

438
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: some of the veteran guys, and they said, flat out, hey,

439
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 3: he's gonna try and create chaos. He's going to be

440
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: aggressive with his schemes. Sometimes the best play is throwing

441
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: the ball away live for the next down. So those

442
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 3: are the mistakes that can happen. But once again, yeah,

443
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: you're line of scrimmage. It's hard to win the game,

444
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: and not often enough upfront. Unlike the last couple of years,

445
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 3: Cardinal's not winning the line of scrimmage on the offensive line.

446
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: Does some of that have to do with injuries, sure,

447
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 3: But in this case, is it a matter of adjusting

448
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: to the adjustment what teams are now doing to you defensively?

449
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 3: I'll say this, Craig Seattle's coming to town, and their

450
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: interior d line is a lot better than the forty

451
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: nine ers. The Scotty report going into the Niners game

452
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: was Nick Bose is a dude, Mikel Williams is a dude.

453
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 3: Now they use Michael Williams inside a lot more than

454
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: I thought. I thought he was gonna be more of

455
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: an edge guy. That guy is a specimen. Oh my gosh,

456
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: field level. He's that's that's crazy. Looks like Julius Pepper's reincarnated.

457
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 3: And so the Sky report going in the Niners was

458
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: their interior defensive line was the land of opportunity you

459
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 3: could targee that you could run on that. That's not

460
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: the case with Seattle now with Big Leonard Williams. We

461
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 3: know what ninety nine did in two games against the

462
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 3: Cardinals a year ago. So if you had issue creating

463
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: room and running lanes against the Niners interior defensive line,

464
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 3: it's got to be better Thursday night against Seattle, No

465
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: doubt you.

466
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: Do have now depending on his health and where he is.

467
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: Will Hernandez is now does this week Because it's a

468
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: short week and you only have what maybe one or

469
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: two walk throughs, you're really not practicing after a game

470
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday with the game on Thursday, do you wait

471
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: until week five for a potential change, just to change

472
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: for change sakes, because if it's not working, you're trying

473
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: to figure out, all right, what can we do differently? Yes,

474
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: obviously it's block better make the catch. But is there

475
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: something personnel wise that you might be able to do

476
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: a little bit differently, Whether that's on the offensive line,

477
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: running back obviously without James in the wide receiver room,

478
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: or others maybe now working their way up the depth

479
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: chart because the others are just not giving you what

480
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: you need out of them. Is there opportunities now for

481
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: a Greg Dorch or Xavier Weaver, guys that are waiting

482
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: for their opportunity and just haven't had it at this point?

483
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: All right, I'll go back to Will Hernandez because I

484
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: do like the sounds of that Will Hernandez is playing

485
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 3: really good football. When he went down with the season

486
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: and injury a year ago, you did not have him

487
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: in the two Seattle games. I think we all wondered, man,

488
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: what would have looked like that interior offensive line against

489
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: Leonard Williams if Big seventy six was in there? When

490
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 3: will we see him? I'm gonna guess it's doubtful. You'll

491
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: see him Thursday night. I wouldn't be shocked, though. It

492
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: looks like he's doing most of the drills that you know. Now,

493
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: I haven't seen any full contact stuff with Will Hernanez,

494
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: so obviously that's that's a big difference. I will say this,

495
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: I'll give you a little bit of a hot take.

496
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: We'll see if this comes to fruitions.

497
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: Love Paul on the hot take.

498
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: You know who played really well, Josh Friar in limited snaps,

499
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 3: big seventy eight would come back to the sideline, they

500
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: would go thirteen muscle, which was thirteen personnel with an

501
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 3: extra offensive lineman, or at times they would go twelve

502
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: muscle checking the extra offensive lineman. The big twenty nine

503
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: yard run. Go back and watch it. You know who

504
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 3: had the key block on that and he drilled Fred Warner.

505
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 3: It was Josh Fryer and he came back to the

506
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: sideline and dudes made a b line for him and

507
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 3: dapped him up and smacked him on the shoulder pad. Say, dude,

508
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: that was a hell of a block. By the way,

509
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: Fred Warner does he get bigger every year. He is six'

510
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: three maybe six. FOUR i mean when you stand next

511
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: to him after the, game it's, like this is the

512
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: biggest middle Linebacker i've seen in a long.

513
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: Time by the way was it you That Fred warner

514
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: was looking at BECAUSE tv cameras caught him mean muggy

515
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: in the sideline early in the. Game was that was

516
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: that towards, You?

517
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: Paul he was taunting The cardinals decision MAKERS jg in,

518
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: particular go forward on, down bring, it, yep bring. It

519
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: AND i think they thought about. It all the competitive

520
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: juices were flowing right. There, oh we'd love it to you,

521
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: know feed it to Big Fred. Warner but seeing that

522
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 3: that was something. Else, honestly you didn't Get trey McBride

523
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 3: On Fred warner. Enough that has always been A cardinal's.

524
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: Advantage now they found their. Next Drake greenlaw and D.

525
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 3: Winners kid Can run is the week side inside linebacker

526
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: and he was On trey McBride a number of. Times

527
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: so And Drake greenlaw used to do a respectable job

528
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: On trey McBride back in the. Day but once, Again Josh,

529
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 3: FRYER i, thought look and in depending on how the

530
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 3: status Of Paris Johnson junior, IS i don't, know depending

531
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: on how you Assess Kelvin beacham and how he filled,

532
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 3: IN i don't, Know but Could Josh fryer be an

533
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: option On Thursday night.

534
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: Nine snaps offensively For Josh, fryer a season, debut making

535
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: his season debut on. Offense so again we all know

536
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: things don't look right with this. Offense the question is

537
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: what are the, answers what are the solutions and do

538
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: we get those On thursday or is it going to

539
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: take a little bit more. Time WHAT i have been

540
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: impressed with since day one is this. Defense paul once

541
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Again Kalays, campbell nearly the hero for the second straight,

542
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: week draws a holding penalty in the end, zone a

543
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: safety and The cardinals have a fifteen to thirteen. Lead

544
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: we talk about the defense given the offense an opportunity

545
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: that complimentary football offense can't do anything. Either after the,

546
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: interception by the, way congrats to Rib it with his

547
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: first career. Pick offense goes three and out after the,

548
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: takeaway offense forced to punt after the, safety and the

549
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: defense is left to be on the football field once.

550
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: Again they did it In New, orleans they did it

551
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: last week Against, carolina could not do it again On.

552
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: Sunday it was an impressive drive by the forty nine,

553
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: ers probably not something That nick rollis is going to

554
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: enjoy when he looks over the. Film but how many

555
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: more times can you expect the defense to continue to

556
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: get the offense off the field and hand the ball

557
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: To Kyler murray and. Company they did it a lot On.

558
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: Sunday they just needed to do it one more time

559
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: and they.

560
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: Couldn't AND i think the offense is feeling a little guilty,

561
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: now a little. SHEEPISH i think at times they have

562
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: a hard time looking at the other side of the

563
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 3: locker room because you got to hold up your end

564
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: of the. Bargain You're Kyler murray after the, game we

565
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 3: wasted a heck of a defensive, Effort You're yeldafroholt in

566
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: our postgame radio, interview citing defenses. Balling they're leaving everything out. There,

567
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: yes they allowed that final game winning drive for either's

568
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: no doubt about. It they could not get To Mac,

569
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: jones and that was. Tough that was a tough thing to.

570
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: See they tried to bring numbers a couple of, times

571
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: they still didn't get to. Them Kyle shannan did a

572
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: heck of a job with a quick passing. Game There's Mac.

573
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 3: Jones he's far from the most mobile, quarterbacks certainly not

574
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: nearly as mobile As Spencer ratler And Bryce selling the

575
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 3: first two. WEEKS i was shocked they only got one

576
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: sack on him the entire, game especially when he spent

577
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: the second half of the game wearing that knee brace

578
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: and his mobility was. Compromise but The cardinals did have

579
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: issues trying to get to. Him he got rid of

580
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: the ball. Quickly not a. SHOCKER i, HONESTLY i was

581
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 3: surprised That carolina didn't do it more after What New

582
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: orleans did In week. One So Ricky piersoll had himself a,

583
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: Game there's no doubt about. It in, fact to, me

584
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: there's more motivation For Marvin Harrison. Junior look at all

585
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 3: the receivers drafted after. Him look at the production out

586
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: of receivers drafted After Marvin Harrison, junior my league. Neighbors,

587
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: Obviously Brian Thomas junior was probably the best rookie receiver of.

588
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: Everyone he was later in the first. Round romadoonzay has

589
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: had a heck of a start to this. Year he

590
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 3: has four touchdown catches in three. Games we Know lad

591
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: McConkie made it onto the top one hundred to start this.

592
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 3: Year Ricky, piersall now that he's. Healthy he was the

593
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 3: best receiver on that. Field In week three At San,

594
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 3: Francisco there's no doubt about. It and he's been a

595
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: big play guy going into the. Game he had eight,

596
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: catches every one of them for first. Downs so you,

597
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 3: know there's ample evidence to, just you, know just lock

598
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: into your own, game get fired. Up you, know in some,

599
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: ways pull a Mac wilson. Senior Mac Wilson senior just single.

600
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 3: Handedly he, said you know, what and he said after the,

601
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: game he used the words. Badass he, SAID i just

602
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 3: DECIDED i want to be a badass in this. GAME

603
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 3: i think a little bit of that is fueled By

604
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 3: Fred warner being on the other side of the, ball

605
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: one of the best in the. Business hey wait a,

606
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: MINUTE i play middle. Linebacker. Two watch me ball, Out.

607
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: Mandy they have a heck of a, game and so to,

608
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: Me trey McBride is that badass on the offensive, side

609
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 3: and now Mac Wilson senior is that dude for The

610
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 3: cardinals on the defensive. Side those two guys have to

611
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: to lead the way not only with their play and their,

612
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 3: production but their mentality and their. PHYSICALITY a career high

613
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: twelve tackles for mac On.

614
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: Sunday two passes. Defensed none, bigger none more, violent none

615
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: more clean than the hit On christian, McCaffrey to the

616
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: point WHERE i had to look at it several different,

617
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: times including several different, angles because the uproar on the

618
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: forty nine ers sideline was that it was ahead of the. Pass,

619
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: Now i'll give cmc. Credit he showed no reaction understanding. That,

620
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: no that was just a good play by the. Defense

621
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: the timing was absolutely, perfect AND i thought the defense

622
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: for The law for most of the game did contain.

623
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: McCaffrey you look at his overall, numbers twenty seven, touches

624
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty. Yards but the only big, play

625
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: the only backbreaking, play was the twenty yard screen pass

626
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: on that final. Drive otherwise McCaffrey was, involved but he

627
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: didn't beat. You he didn't knock you out like we

628
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: saw in twenty twenty three where he basically single handily

629
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: beat The Arizona. Cardinals and McCaffrey is, healthy was healthy On.

630
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: SUNDAY i like what That cardinals defense did up again

631
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: until that final, drive and there's.

632
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: No doubt That christian McCaffrey was number, one two and

633
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 3: three on The Cardinals scotnery, report especially Minus George. Kittle

634
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: usually A buddha baker At Jalen thompson would travel with

635
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: boot With George kittle a, lot and that would Benefit christian.

636
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: McCaffrey buddha was on ON cmc a. Lot Mac wilson

637
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: was who who has better speed sideline a sideline than

638
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: A Kaizer, white for, Example so he's he's a better

639
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: option Than kaizier had been the last couple of years

640
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: to keep up With christian. McCaffrey but you're, RIGHT i

641
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: mean that hit on fourth and one was something to.

642
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 3: Behold What Will johnson did To Chris olave in week

643
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 3: one Mac Wilson senior did To christian McCaffrey in terms

644
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 3: of the timing shouldered to the strike, zone making sure

645
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: you didn't get your head involved so they couldn't flag

646
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 3: you for lowering the, helmet making sure it was, clean

647
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 3: but don't flex it too, much and you, know walk,

648
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 3: away act like you've been there, before so they don't

649
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 3: get you for maybe celebrating and being a little too

650
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: super extra because that is always a subjective. Call but,

651
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 3: man that was that was some really really good football right,

652
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 3: there and it was everything That Kalayis campbell said before

653
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 3: the season began where he thought and he predicted The

654
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 3: MacWilson senior would be a big time playmaker and difference

655
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: maker this year at that.

656
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: Spot CAN i guess here late in the show that

657
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: is the leading. CANDIDATE i don't want to put words

658
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: in your mouth because maybe you go a different. Direction

659
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: but The Angry Bird award for this week just based

660
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: off the hit alone or is It Klayis campbell and

661
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: the fact that in limited snaps the forty Nine ers

662
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: offense offensive line had trouble containing big number ninety three

663
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: five pressures according To Next Gen. Stats but, Again i'll

664
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: go back to what Mac Wilson senior did AGAINST cmc

665
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: WITH i think you draw it. Up you teach how to,

666
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: tackle you teach how to. Hit we hear that a

667
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: lot FROM jg And Nick. Rolis, well now they've got

668
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: it on film that that is what you do to

669
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: separate ball carrier from the.

670
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: FOOTBALL i, mean why, Wait, craig you know you brought it,

671
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: up so you're absolutely, right you're speaking it into. Existence

672
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: we're holding The Angry Bird award right. Now the miny

673
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 3: helmet with the stuffed animal inside it and the beat

674
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: coming out the. Face, MAX i drop it and you,

675
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 3: know almost like it got hit By Mac Wilson. Senior but,

676
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely Mac Wilson senior is this week's recipient of The

677
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 3: Angry Bird, award goes to the most shalacious play or,

678
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: player and he checked Both fox, did so he's the

679
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 3: unanimous winner on that. Front and correct me If i'm.

680
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 3: WRONG i know he played every single snap Against. Carolina

681
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 3: he played eighty five. Snaps buddha AND jt each played

682
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 3: eighty five. Snaps was he BECAUSE i don't see him

683
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: come off the? Field did he come off the?

684
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: Field? Now, BUDDHA, jt And mac all on the field

685
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: for all sixty five defensive. Snaps this is the third

686
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: straight game that those three have played every. Snap So

687
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: budda's not coming off the, Field JT's not coming off the.

688
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: Field ma's not coming off field. Now. MAC i used to,

689
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: Say Max melton did miss one, snap so he otherwise

690
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: he would have been in two of the three games

691
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: as far as the one club is. Concerned but, oh

692
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: by the, WAY i think you know again that that

693
00:36:54,440 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: defense performed pretty well considering the questions we we had

694
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: going into that, one especially at the cornerback. Position but, overall,

695
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: again you hold a team to sixteen points most times

696
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: you're going to. Win and The, cardinals, unfortunately As Kyler murray,

697
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: said we let one. Slip and it goes back to the.

698
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: Offense three games in a row they have not reached

699
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: three hundred total yards of. Offense so obviously something needs to.

700
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: Elevate there needs to be corrections made on the offensive,

701
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 3: side and there needs to be at the very least better.

702
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 3: Execution to, me it starts inside. Out it starts with

703
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: the offensive line and then you go from. There but

704
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: the passing game definitely needs to. Elevate just Get kyler

705
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: and the receivers into a. Rhythm DID i hear that

706
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 3: there wasn't a single receiver target until maybe the second

707
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 3: quarter of the. GAME i heard some WHICH i didn't quite,

708
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: Realize so, yes it would be. Good one Thing Mac

709
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: jones did, do when you give him, credit he involved

710
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: a lot of different guys at different, times And kyler

711
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: was effective on. That he got nine for receivers into

712
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 3: or at least pass catchers into the equation you know

713
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 3: in week, one but not so much against the forty nine.

714
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: Ers, yeah that pass game, AGAIN i think it stems

715
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: from having a better ground, game then you can maybe

716
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: have a little bit more efficient pass. Game BUT i

717
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: think it goes hand in. Hand If Nick rollis And

718
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: jj're going to talk About russian, coverage coverage and, rush

719
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's the run game pass game kind of big

720
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: kind of the same. WAY i THINK i lean more

721
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: heavily on the run, game though you unlocked that you

722
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: have a better opportunity to get this pass game to

723
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: where you want it because there's no one satisfied with

724
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: where this offense is at the.

725
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 3: Moment i'm, Sorry i'm a little.

726
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:39,239
