Here's Dave, Pash, 5 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: Ron Wolfley, and Paul Calvic. 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: Final score Cardinals twenty four San Francisco twenty three as 7 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: Arizona comes back from down twenty three to ten at 8 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: halftime to win it. James Connor finished with eighty six 9 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: rushing yards on nineteen attempts in the second half. He 10 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: had thirteen attempts seventy seven yards, just nine yards on 11 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: six tries in the first half. That last drive was 12 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: fourteen plays, seventy five yards, four minutes and thirty four seconds, 13 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: setting up the Ryland thirty five yard field goal. And 14 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: your mind, Wolf was the run game in the second half. 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: The difference, no doubt about it, David. They came out 16 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 3: and they ran the ball, and James Connor ran the 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 3: ball with a dark heart and some bloody knuckles as well. 18 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: That was the difference in the second half, and it 19 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: helped Kyler Murray as well. And you know, David We 20 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 3: talk about it all the time, but when it matters most, 21 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: you need your best players to step up. That's exactly 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: what Kyler Murray did fourth down, stepping up knowing he 23 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: was going to get pressure, got pressure in through the 24 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 3: ball to Marvin Harrison Junior, knowing he was going to 25 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 3: be singled up, giving him a one on one chance 26 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: to make a play. And guess what he did. Marvin 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: Harrison Junior made the. 28 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: Play, just his second catch on seven targets. He had 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: not caught a pass since the first quarter. That was 30 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: huge Murray backpedaling with pressure on him to be able 31 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: to deliver that ball. Kyler finished with one hundred and 32 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: ninety five passing yards, the interception, which was a great 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: play by Bosa, the touchdown pass, which was to Elijah 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: Higgins on a really cool play where he kind of 35 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: moved laterally, then backed up as it looked initially like 36 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: he might run, and then throw the pass to the 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: corner at the end zone. There was a penalty for 38 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: roughing the passer, so the Cardinals went for two, which 39 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: ended up being the difference. 40 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: In the game. It's a great point. 41 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: I don't know if they would have gone for two anyway. 42 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: In that situation, maybe, but certainly getting a roughing the 43 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: passer called. The analytics changed dramatically when you go from 44 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: the two to the one, and so they went for 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: it and they got it with James Connor and James Connor. 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 3: They handed the ball off and James Connor got hit 47 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 3: short of the line, and then on second effort moved 48 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: the pile and moved it across, got the pig to 49 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: break the plane of that goal line right there. I 50 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: don't know if he's in David, if you're actually doing 51 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: it from the two, I don't know if you're in there. 52 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: That one yard made all the difference in the world. 53 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: Coming up, you're gonna hear from Jonathan Gannett. You're going 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: to hear from more Cardinal players after a twenty four 55 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: to twenty three Arizona win in San Francisco on the 56 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: Cardinals Radio Network. Final score twenty four to twenty three. 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: The Cardinals win in San Francisco. The Cardinals are two 58 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: and zero in the division. By the way, they are 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: two and three, tied with San Francisco Seattle's three and one. 60 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from Jonathan gannon the Cardinal's head coach, 61 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 2: we'll hear from some players as well in the locker 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: room with Paul after. I'm not gonna say it's an 63 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: improbable win, because you know, the Cardinals have proven that 64 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: they can play with anybody the last year plus. But 65 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: statistics show that when you have something like a blocked 66 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: field goal return for a touchdown, most of the time 67 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: you're on the losing end. But the fact that Cardinals 68 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: were able to overcome that, the defense gave up sixteen 69 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: points and they didn't get a ton of pressure on 70 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: but they got one when it mattered. Jalen Thompson impacted 71 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: that throw by Purty and Kaysier White was able to 72 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: get the interception to seal the deal. 73 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: Boy for me right now, when I think of the fact, David, 74 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 3: that you allowed a block field goal to be returned 75 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 3: for a touchdown and how much damage that play can 76 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: do to the collective psyche of a football team, and 77 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 3: then Nick Bosa to make the play that he did 78 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 3: on that interception as well, which ultimately resulted in three 79 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: more points for the forty nine ers. You basically gave 80 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: him ten points in the first half, and the fact 81 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 3: that you were able to overcome that shows a resilience 82 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: that is very, very good for this football team in 83 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 3: terms of going forward and gives you hope that maybe 84 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: they can actually turn this around the start to the 85 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 3: season to get off to a one in three start, 86 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 3: knowing that they played well in the first three games, 87 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: and then last week what happened against the Commanders, and 88 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 3: how down in the mouth we all were about that 89 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 3: game in particular, and how disperate it looked from the 90 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,559 Speaker 3: first three games that they played to see them come 91 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: back with a vengeance here today at Levi Stadium against 92 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: this team. You said it earlier, and I think I 93 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 3: agree with you, David. It could be a season changing 94 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: football game for the Arizona Cardinals. 95 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: It doesn't hurt when the Seattle Seahawks lose at home 96 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: to the New York Giants, which is about to happen, 97 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 2: which means the Cardinals are now a game out of 98 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: first place wow in the NFC. 99 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: We and they've got two division wins as well. 100 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: In San Francisco's zero to two in the division. The 101 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: Cardinals have yet to play Seattle. All right, let's go 102 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: to Paul standing by with Mac Wilson Senior right. 103 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: Six tackles. 104 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 5: You had interception, a pass defense, he had a fumble 105 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 5: recovery and you got to win and a big smile. 106 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 4: Where do you start? 107 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 5: What was the key to this one, especially being down 108 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 5: late by two scores in the second half. 109 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 6: Honestly, it just goes back to the work we put 110 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 6: in throughout the week. You know, it was hot in Arizona. 111 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 6: Throughout the whole week. We knew it was gonna be 112 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 6: a battle. Coming in here gets a great team, a 113 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 6: super Bowl caliber team. We knew it was gonna be 114 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 6: a physical game. We knew that with us giving up 115 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 6: Hella Russian y'all after the last two weeks, we knew 116 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 6: that they was gonna try to come in and pound 117 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 6: the rock, which was kind of opposite. They came out 118 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 6: throwing a little bit, and we knew that when they 119 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 6: when they got the lead, they was gonna go back 120 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 6: to the run. So we told ourselves at halftime we 121 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,559 Speaker 6: stopped this run game down, We'll give our self a chance. 122 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 6: And you know, we came up with three turnovers as 123 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 6: well defensively, which was huge and obviously gave our offense momentum. 124 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 5: So the heat, it was a factor, how much of 125 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 5: advantage of being from Arizona and just in terms of 126 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 5: confidence knowing you guys had practiced in one hundred and 127 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 5: ten for weeks. 128 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely gives you a little slight bit of advantage, honestly, 129 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, I feel like 130 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 6: it's all of my thing too, in the sense obviously 131 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 6: the heat kind of plays a factor and fatiguingness and 132 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 6: things like that. But I mean, when you out there 133 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 6: with your brothers, honestly, you feed off each other energy, 134 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 6: and that's kind of what we did in that second half. 135 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 5: Tell us about the interception. Roy Lopez gets a big 136 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 5: mid up there and then take it from there. 137 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 6: Uh, yeah, he got he got a hand on the ball, 138 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 6: and I was a I think I was a dropper 139 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 6: from the edge or something like that, and I seen 140 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 6: the ball in the air and I just tried my 141 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 6: best to get as close as I could to it, 142 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 6: and I knew if I got close enough, I can 143 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 6: dive and catch it. 144 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 3: So that's what it was. 145 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 5: What physicality is always a key in every game, especially 146 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 5: against this team. Jonathan Gannon says, Yo Niners have elite physicality. 147 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 4: How much of this win revolves around that a lot? 148 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 6: Honestly? It just it just shows you the wield, uh 149 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 6: that we didn't. We didn't back down, and we just 150 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 6: kept fighting. Honestly, with them having the league going into 151 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 6: the half, you know, we could have easily came out, 152 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 6: let them just pound the rocket and just call a 153 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 6: quist or whatnot. But you saw the physicality or setting 154 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 6: the edges, us getting downhill in the run game, making 155 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 6: players on the ball that second half, and you know 156 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 6: that it showed up. Coach Jag said he felt like 157 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 6: we was gonna go get the win at halftime, and 158 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 6: we just went out there and put it on display. 159 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 5: I gotta ask you about red zone defense. If I 160 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 5: have it right, then Niners were one for six in 161 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 5: the red zone. What was most important there? 162 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: Man? 163 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 6: It really just just played ball, honestly. You know, they 164 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 6: kept getting these long drives where they was driving the 165 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 6: ball down the field on us quite a bit, and 166 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 6: you know, when they got in the red area, we 167 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 6: just kept reminding each other like, they don't score, they 168 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 6: don't score here. And obviously with their kicker being down, 169 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 6: you knew they wasn't gonna kick too many field goals 170 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 6: in the red area or whatnot. But our mindset, honestly 171 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 6: was just just to not let them score. And I 172 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 6: obviously we did a great job of that. 173 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 5: So I ask a question for Mac Wilson Senior tickets 174 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 5: in the locker room. 175 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 4: How gratifying? What was that celebration? 176 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 6: Like it was dope? I mean it's fun obviously, and 177 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 6: you know, I really just want the guys to understand, 178 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 6: like this feeling is this feeling is contagious, and this 179 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 6: just a feeling that you want to continue to have. 180 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 6: So we just got to continue to keep work and 181 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 6: keep carrying over a week after week and build off this. 182 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 6: You know, it's a great start to the second quarter 183 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 6: of the season. 184 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 4: Though, Mac, thank you appreciate it. There we go. 185 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 5: Mac Wilson Senior and James counter, if you want to 186 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 5: step right up. Are you aware of how much the 187 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: defense feeds off your physicality. 188 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 4: When running the ball? 189 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 5: Are you aware of how you're sort of a barometer 190 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 5: when you're feeding it to an opposing defense and the 191 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 5: run games and gear. 192 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: Are you aware of how that lifts the entire sideline? 193 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, it was late in the fourth, you know, I 194 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 7: just looked at the defense and they was all on 195 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 7: their feet standing up on the sideline. You know, usually 196 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 7: they resting, you know, early in the game, but it 197 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 7: was just one of the moments then I just you know, 198 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 7: wanted to beat the one to just you know, get 199 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 7: his marching down the field. And uh, you know we 200 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 7: feed off the defense as well, so you know it 201 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 7: goes hand in hand. 202 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 5: Nineteen carries eighty six yards seventy seven to those in 203 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 5: the second half. What was clicking, What was key in 204 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 5: the second half. 205 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 7: Just sticking to the run game, you know, just waining 206 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 7: heavy on the offensive line. You know, they're trying to 207 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 7: put the ball in the right spots. You know, they're 208 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 7: trying to march the field and make it go. You know, 209 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 7: limited touches in the first half, just with the game 210 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 7: planned out, but uh, stuck with it and that's the result. 211 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 5: You look back that two point conversion, right, one of 212 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 5: the biggest plays of the game. 213 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 4: Take take us through that. That was hard fought, wasn't it. 214 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 7: Yeah, it was it was you know, they kind of 215 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 7: stopped me a little short, you know, with coach A 216 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 7: d always just saying, you know, by w be this 217 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 7: be you on blocker, you know, de sided to take 218 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 7: on a couple and just get that ball into the 219 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 7: end zone to put us you know, in that range. 220 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 7: So it just feels good, good team win. 221 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 5: Speaking of getting range, that last possession, you guys went 222 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 5: fourteen plays seventy four yards to get a game winning 223 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 5: field goal At that point do you think I mean, 224 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 5: be honest, now, right with the heat, they're in the shade, 225 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 5: Cardinals on the full sun. But you guys practice in Arizona. 226 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 5: How much of advantage do you think that was? 227 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: A man? 228 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 7: You know, we used to playing in that heat. 229 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 4: For sure. 230 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 7: It was a hot one out there, you know, But 231 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 7: you know that don't matter. 232 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 3: You know. 233 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 7: The elements are the elements. And yeah, like you said, 234 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 7: last last drive to get the game win a field goal, 235 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 7: everybody just muscled up. 236 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 5: I talked to some of the old linemen this week. 237 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 5: They were like, look, we want to get back to 238 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 5: our identity. Our identity is running the ball, running it 239 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 5: straight ahead with number six. When you guys are doing that, 240 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 5: how confident are you in the offense moving the ball? 241 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 7: We always confident, man. The confidence comes from the preparation, 242 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 7: you know, and Monday through Saturday, you know, we prepare hard, 243 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 7: and that's where the confidence comes from. 244 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 5: When Kyler's running the ball, some of those design runs, 245 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 5: what does that do to a defense man? 246 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 7: Just keeps him on their toes. You know, he got 247 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 7: a start at you know, second player of the game. 248 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 7: He takes it to the house. You know, I was 249 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 7: huge for as far as momentum and just far belief, 250 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 7: you know, and it's good to see he back making plays. 251 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 5: Last question for James Connor, what does this do? Look, 252 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 5: you're a veteran. We've got a lot of first and 253 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 5: second year guys. We think this does for team confidence 254 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 5: right now. 255 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 7: You know, let's say the confidence from it, but the 256 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 7: process is the process. You know, you got a reset. 257 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 7: We got a big one next week, you know, still 258 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 7: early in the season, so we just got to keep 259 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 7: getting better as a unit. 260 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: Appreciate it there, Congratulations James Connor. 261 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: Guys, Paul James used the word reset after this game. 262 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: I wonder if the reset after last game was something 263 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: that was needed, you know, to have a game like that. 264 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: The Cardinals hadn't really had a game like that in 265 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: a long time. The game against Washington maybe that was 266 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: in some ways a wake up call, a little bit 267 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 2: of a reset to kind of remember that, you know, 268 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: we still got ways to go. We're not there yet. 269 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: We're making progress, but we're not there. And then a 270 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: game like this validates again that you're on the right track. 271 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: David, I have no doubt about it because of what 272 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: we saw the first three games of the season. Once again, 273 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 3: we saw a competitive, hard, nos football team in the 274 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 3: first three games. Yeah, they lost two of those games 275 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: on the road to the Buffalo Bills, a very good 276 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 3: football team, and then the Lions at home, another very 277 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: good football team. So you know, it was a situation 278 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 3: where they were competitive, they were hard, they were physical, 279 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 3: and then we saw the Commander's game. It was just 280 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 3: a completely different feel, a completely different team, it appeared, 281 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 3: showed up. It was so disparate from the first three. 282 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: We came into this game, you and I and we 283 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 3: were talking about is this an outlier? Was the Commander's 284 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: game an outlier? We're gonna find out today based on 285 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: how the Arizona Cardinals played. They came out here and 286 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 3: played tough in the first half, hung around even though 287 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: they made mistakes that really hurt them, and then came 288 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: out in that second half and they doubled down on 289 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 3: who they are and what they're all about, and ran 290 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 3: the ball with James Connor attacking right down in between 291 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: the team moving down the field and we saw what happened. Man, 292 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 3: they were who they were, and suddenly they won the game. 293 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: I cannot tell you how impressed I am with this 294 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: football team right now because they doubled down on who 295 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 3: they are and they went out and won it. 296 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: In the end, you're basically a third of the way 297 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: through the year. We say every year going into the season, 298 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 2: you got a few teams you know are going to 299 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 2: be great, a few teams you know are going to 300 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: be bad, and then a lot of teams in the middle. 301 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 2: The Cardinals are one of those teams. Is San Francisco 302 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: one of those teams? The Rams feel like one of 303 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: those teams. Maybe they're one of the teams that's not 304 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: very good at all. Seattle losing at home to the 305 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: Giants feels like one of those teams. I guess what 306 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: I'm trying to say is this may be something all 307 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: year where the Cardinals, unless San Francisco all of a sudden, 308 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: when it gets healthy, turns it around. Where your division 309 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: winner in this NFC West is not a team that's 310 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: got twelve wins. It's a team that's got ten, maybe 311 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: even nine. Just kind of the way things have gone 312 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: through the first five games, again. San Francisco's not healthy. 313 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: But if this is a snapshot of what's to come, 314 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: it's going to make the Cardinals in a situation where 315 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: they're going to be in it throughout the regular season. 316 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, let me just say this quickly right here, JG. 317 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 3: What I love about this win for the Arizona Cardinals 318 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 3: is JG has something he can point to and say, see, 319 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: this is when we played this way, this is what happens. 320 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 3: He can point to it and say for sure and 321 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 3: be confident in saying, when we play well, this is 322 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: what happens. We got this in us. Let's do it again, 323 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 3: and if we're not doing it again, that's on you. 324 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: I love the in fact he can point to this game, 325 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 3: point to this tape and show these guys that are 326 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 3: in the locker room. I say it all the time. 327 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 3: Confidence is the currency of competition. Confidence is the currency 328 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: of competition. You buy and sell performance based on your 329 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: confidence level individually as a player, but not just individually, David, 330 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: collectively as well. For JG to be able to point 331 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 3: to this game and see, when we do it right, 332 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 3: this is who we are. Now, let's go replicate this 333 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 3: over and over and over again for the rest of 334 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 3: the season. Man, that's a big teaching device he can use. 335 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,479 Speaker 2: And that's the key, and that's the struggle with primarily 336 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: a young team, is being consistent over the course of 337 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: a game, over the course of a season. The NFL 338 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: in general is an inconsistent league. Trends are made to 339 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: be broken. There are occasional teams again on either side, 340 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: good and bad. Where the Kansas City the trend is 341 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: they're one of the best teams, and they are every year. 342 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: Carolina has been one of the worst teams the last 343 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: couple of years and that trend has continued. But for 344 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: the most part, it ebbs and flows. Can the Cardinals 345 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: bottle this and bring that consistency to Green Bay next week? 346 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: The Packers just beat the Rams twenty four to nineteen, 347 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: so LA drops to one and four, green Bay goes 348 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: to three and two, and the Cardinals will be at 349 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: Lambeau next Sunday. 350 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 3: Man, once again, you know what I also love about this, 351 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 3: and I know I continue to come back to this, 352 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 3: but the fact that Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior 353 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: win it absolutely mattered the most. This was not a 354 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: great game for Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior in 355 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: terms of their chemistry. But to me, there was one 356 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: play on that fourth down play where they came after 357 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray and Kyler knew he was under duress and 358 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: knew he was in trouble and knew they were bringing 359 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: the free hitter, and he threw the ball out to 360 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior, who he knew also was one on 361 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: one on the outside together and Marvin Harrison Junior to 362 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: go up and make the play on that man. I 363 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 3: get that one play might prove to be the most 364 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 3: important play for this football team the rest of the season. 365 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 2: Well, looking at how Kyler performed under pressure last week, 366 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 2: he struggled, and that play on fourth down where he's 367 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 2: pressured makes the smart play. That's why you draft a 368 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 2: guy like Marvin Harrison Junior. In that situation, he comes 369 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: down with it. Kyler finished with a quarterback rating of 370 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: seventy nine point two. Obviously, the interception knocks the rating 371 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: down quite significantly, only about six yards per attempt. That's 372 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: one thing we'd love to see more shot plays. Kyler 373 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 2: threw the ball out of bounds a couple times on those, 374 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: so to your point, didn't have his greatest game. But 375 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 2: the numbers were better last week and the Cardinals lost, 376 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: and he didn't play as well, at least in my mind, 377 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: last week as he did today. I don't know if 378 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: you agree with that. 379 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 3: Yes, no, I do agree with that. Once again, he 380 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 3: made two huge plays in this game. One was the 381 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 3: run of course for a touchdown. The other one that 382 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 3: fourth down throw to Marvin Harrison Junior. And to me, 383 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 3: this is something you can build on. You keep looking 384 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: for building blocks somehow, some way that Kyler Murray and 385 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior and this offense overall, how they can 386 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: actually start laying down some building blocks going forward. And 387 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 3: today is going to go a long way towards doing that. 388 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: All right, JG standing by with Paul A lot to like, 389 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 2: a lot to talk about. 390 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 4: Obviously, we've got the head coach. Coach. 391 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 5: I'm going to start with your defense that pitched a 392 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 5: shutout in the second half. Just give me a few words, 393 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 5: a few takeaways. What stood out the most of you there? 394 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 8: The value of the ball, that's one, and then their resilience, 395 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So and go back to 396 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 8: the first half, Paul. You know in the red zone, 397 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 8: keeping points off the board there. I thought those were 398 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 8: huge plays, but defense definitely bit down on their mouthpiece 399 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 8: today and the value of the ball showed up. 400 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 401 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 5: We talked to Mac Wilson moments ago about the fact 402 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 5: the Niners, if I have it right, went one of 403 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 5: six in the red zone. 404 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 4: What's key? 405 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 5: What's most important defensively once you get backed up? 406 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean in the red zone? 407 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: You mean yep? Yeah. 408 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 8: Execution. You know, I thought Nick and the staff put 409 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 8: together a really good plan. We kept it pretty simple 410 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 8: to execute, and our guys executed, you know, whether it 411 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 8: was run or pass. I thought we did a good 412 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 8: job all eleven out there. 413 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 5: How about physicality, I know, you know your opinion of 414 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 5: the Niners one of those elite physical teams. 415 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 4: How do you think you match that? 416 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I mean I would say that, you know, 417 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,479 Speaker 8: coming out on top and being down at half and 418 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 8: then you know, sticking to it all three phases. You know, 419 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 8: the resilience, the toughness, our motive play showed up. 420 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 6: Man. 421 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 8: You look at that last drive. You know, there's a 422 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 8: couple of different ways you can play this Drew challenge. 423 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 8: Those guys got I'm going run, run, run, run, run, 424 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 8: and let's go and that speaks to the physicality of 425 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 8: the offense when the game's on the line. Can you 426 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 8: execute versus a really good defense. That's what we did. 427 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 5: You know, there was a game last year against the 428 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 5: Niners who ran for more than two hundred yards. That's 429 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 5: first time in six years they had allowed that. It 430 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 5: happened in the second half. Again, what you just talked about, 431 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 5: how much do you think this team in the conditioning, 432 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 5: practicing in the heat was a factor or a benefit? 433 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 434 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 8: I thought a performing staff, as you know, I've done 435 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 8: an excellent job, but they did a really good job 436 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 8: throughout the week. 437 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: It was hot out there, guys. 438 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 8: I don't know if you're out there, but it was hot, 439 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 8: and we thought that would be an advantage for us 440 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 8: because we're adapted to the heat. And credit to the 441 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 8: players taking care of their health, bucket being ready to 442 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 8: go for sixty minutes, which is what we needed. 443 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 5: Was there a particular aspect of the run game that 444 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 5: got James Connor in gear? 445 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 8: You know, I thought the first half drew was we 446 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 8: were trying to attack them some different ways, and coming 447 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 8: out of halftime, we said, you know what, let's just get. 448 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: It going downhill. 449 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 8: You know what I mean, and he broke some tackles. 450 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 8: There are some holes in there. I thought four man 451 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 8: surface runs look good. It was a little more north 452 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 8: and south and boys six took us home. 453 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 5: And how big a deal was it to get Kyler 454 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 5: on the move? Obviously you know the fifty yarder. 455 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 8: I mean to start the game, you go three and 456 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 8: out on defense and then two plays and explosive the 457 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 8: tray and then frigging you know, Kyler scores there, you know, 458 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 8: and then you know, like I said, in the second half, 459 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 8: we had scoring drives. We had the field goal Moody. 460 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 8: I mean, Chad comes in, bangs it through and then 461 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 8: we score a touchdown, go for two, get it, and 462 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 8: then he kicks a walk off. So really all and 463 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 8: Blake had a big time punt to flip field position 464 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 8: after our first drive, which we'll no one, we'll talk 465 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 8: about that, but that was a huge play in the 466 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 8: game because we went three and out there and to 467 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 8: flip to field position there was critical. So really special teams, 468 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 8: you know, were resilient because I know we had the 469 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 8: one block, but they battled man and DJ had a 470 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 8: good return. 471 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 3: They did a good job. 472 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 5: Man, tell us about your coaching decision to go for 473 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 5: two because obviously that looms huge right now. 474 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 3: It does. 475 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 8: I just felt really good about the play and then 476 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 8: especially with the penalty there. We had talked about it 477 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 8: before we went on the field. How long was that drive, Paul. 478 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 4: That particular drive that score? 479 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 5: Well, the final thirty five yard field goal was seventy 480 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 5: four yards and fourteen plays. 481 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 8: What was the one before? What was the twelve or 482 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 8: twelve or seven three? Yep, So we talked about it 483 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 8: before we went out. Hey, like, I think we want 484 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 8: to go for two here and then after the penalty 485 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 8: for so it just changed the play call being from 486 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 8: the two to the one and that was run it 487 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 8: in man, and that's what we did. 488 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 5: What about your confidence level at the end there in 489 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 5: Chad Ryland tell us about that? 490 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the media just asked me. I mean 491 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 8: the team was going nuts for this guy. I don't 492 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 8: think half of them Noah's face, you know, just kind 493 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 8: of got here, but huge. And I use the analogy. 494 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 8: You know, when you have one blocked, it's not his 495 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 8: fault that it got blocked, right, But it's like you 496 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 8: know a golfer, you shank a t ball like you 497 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 8: got to pull driver the next couple holes. It's in 498 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 8: your head and it was not in his head. He said, coach, 499 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 8: I'm good, put me out there. I'll make it, and 500 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 8: that's what he did. 501 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 5: Man tell us about the touchdown real quick, Kyler to 502 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 5: Elijah Higgins. You mentioned the drive right that made a 503 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 5: twenty three to twenty one after the two point version 504 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 5: six offensive linemen and then an ARP for Kyla. 505 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, that was That's a really good scheme by Drew 506 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 8: and the coach. They've been they've been cooking that one 507 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 8: for a couple of weeks now and uh finally got 508 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 8: a chance. We like the look it applied, and they 509 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 8: executed a great play. 510 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 5: A lot of young players on this roster, you know that. 511 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 5: What does it do for this team mentally? Just in 512 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 5: terms of confidence? 513 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 3: Went Wolf said it. 514 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 8: I mean it it should be it should it should 515 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 8: be a building block. But should is should it would 516 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 8: have could? It means nothing in the NFL. So we're 517 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 8: gonna have to do that. We had a really good 518 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 8: week of practice. We responded the right way after getting 519 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 8: beat pretty good versus Washington versus a really good team. Now, 520 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 8: all right, we'll enjoy this one. But do we learn 521 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 8: from it tomorrow, and we got to put all our 522 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 8: energy and focus into into Green Bay. 523 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 5: Coach, you know what else we're gonna enjoy. Wolf's getting 524 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 5: a mohawk. He somehow vowed to get a mohawk with 525 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 5: a Cardinals win on Friday. 526 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 4: So there you go. 527 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 8: I can't wait to see you on Monday. 528 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 5: Wolf Your Your Coach's TV show will feature Ron Wolfly 529 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 5: with a mohawk. Coach, Thank you, guys, fly safe, Yep, 530 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 5: congratulations with you. 531 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 4: There you go. 532 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 2: I think JG should give you the mohawk. 533 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: No, thank you. It's got to be professionally done, okay, David, 534 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: But it's going to be done the way that I 535 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: want it. It's not going to be the narrow mohawk. 536 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 3: It's gonna be my mohawk. 537 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 2: We'll look forward to that. The Cardinals defense shuts out 538 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: the Niners in the second half. They did that to 539 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 2: Detroit as well well. Final thoughts about this and what's 540 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 2: ahead in Green Bay before we get out of here. 541 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 3: Just can't get over the individual performances that happen out 542 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 3: here on the field today and how they may impact 543 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 3: the collective for the Arizona Cardinals going forward. David, Yes, 544 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: another tough road game coming up against the Packers. But man, 545 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 3: you came into here and you did something that was 546 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 3: a tough uphill climb. You played well against a team 547 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 3: that is one of the most talented in the National 548 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 3: Football League, and somehow, some way you put together enough 549 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 3: plays to win the game on the road in this stadium. Man, 550 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 3: the collective in the way that their confidence level can 551 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: boom on this Man, you're gonna get on that plane 552 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 3: with a big grin on your face going forward.
