1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Help is on the way, at least defensively. God Zach Gerstman,

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Whipenberg Gang.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 2: That's right.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: A midweek show was Zach the man in charge of

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: the injury reports, and Wednesday's was long, though there were

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: some encouraging signs, the biggest of which Walter Nolan the

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: Third Also Kyler Murray on the practice field, Marvin Harrison

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Junior on the practice field. Limited sure, but good to

Speaker 1: see one and eighteen participating on Wednesday. That and so

10

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: not a bad thing. I'm just making I'm just making

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: the observation that you're here on a Wednesday. Typically it's

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: Danny Surrek. She is, as we like to say in

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: the business, on assignment handling girls flag football later on Wednesday.

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's good to have you here midweek.

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: I filled in for Paul and to two of the

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: last games, and now I'm filling in for Danny. I

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: just you. You say you can't get enough of me,

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: But I feel like you're choosing this, Craig. You are

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: asking for this, and honestly, I don't blame you.

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: Well, I am asking. I'm putting in the request, and

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: you're you're you're.

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: Accept the request. I try to be a team player.

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: You are ar Jacoby present.

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: That's essentially how I put When I was applying for

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: this job, I said I could be the perfect backup quarterback,

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 4: just don't have the arm for it. Although although I think,

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 4: bar I'm sure you've seen what the Celtics did with

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: their media. I did fifty four to four whatever it was, yes,

43
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: fifty four to something.

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: The media.

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 4: For those that are unaware of what we're talking about,

46
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 4: the Boston Celtics media corps was, I guess going to

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 4: have a scrimmage against each other, and Joe Mazzola, their

48
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: head coach with the Boston Celtics, said, you're not playing

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: against each other anymore, you're actually playing against the coaches.

50
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: And the coaches absolutely wiped the floor with them. So

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 4: I had me thinking, like, if we had a media

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: flag football game, what position would I play? Because I

53
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: think you know not too. You know this is going

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: to be taking the wrong way because I'm one hundred

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 4: percent of minority. But my youthfulness, I feel like, give

56
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: me an advantage for this team.

57
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's you're You're not wrong. So I'm just

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: curious as to where I would be.

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: Would I be the Marvin Harrison junior of this team

60
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: and you know, be able to go high point of football.

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: But I also my arm's not shot and I played

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 4: baseball back in the day. Now, granted I was high

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: school and it was at a Jewish high school, so

64
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: it's not like the crop of town was that great.

65
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: But so you're I broke the controller, this is great.

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: So you're comparing your athleticism to Kyler Murray and or

67
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison junior.

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: This is gonna be an all time I'm not comparing it.

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: I'm just saying I could try to fill that role,

70
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: fill the role.

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not sure. I'm trying to picture this in

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: my head. I'm trying not to picture it now. But

73
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, you are the Jacobi Brissette, which would

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: mean Darren Urban is the franchise quarterback.

75
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: In that case. Yeah, but what's the fun in that?

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: That's true?

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, your next assignment, after you get done with

78
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: your advance for Saturday and before kick off on Sunday,

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: go ahead and list the Arizona Cardinals talent team as

80
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: far as what roles you would expect us to play

81
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: on this flag football team, because, as we know, flag

82
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: football is an Olympic sport. In twenty twenty eight, crack

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: and we have heard NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell say they

84
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: are going to be professional flag football leagues. So maybe

85
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: there's a team here in Arizona that Zach you can

86
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: be a part of.

87
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: All I'm saying is the center position I think we

88
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: have filled with Aq. I could be wrong, but we

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: know from when we did the girls flag broadcast together

90
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: he was very jealous at the fact that the center

91
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: could also serve as the tight end.

92
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 2: So it's a good call.

93
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: I forgot about Aq and Dave Patch what their roles

94
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: might be. So yeah, Aq snaps the ball. There's not

95
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: a better snapper in the state in my opinion, at

96
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: least for Aq. And then yeah, he would get to

97
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: live out his dream and go out and try to

98
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: attempt to catch a pass.

99
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: I think we're onto Sunday here.

100
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: Just stumbled upon it right here on the on Sense

101
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: of Cardinals cover twer are on this Wednesday for it.

102
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 4: You know, we talk about being observant. You know, we

103
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: have observed Jacobe Brissett sliding into a starting role in

104
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: the last week and performed quite well at that and

105
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: now we're just trying to figure out the rest of

106
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: the football that goes on in the state.

107
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: Didn't desist.

108
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: I'm open, you know, with with my collegiate ties. I'm

109
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 4: open to whatever.

110
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, we'll put that on the back burner at

111
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: the moment here and then maybe discuss it at a

112
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: later date.

113
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: We're not way later.

114
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: We did not observe much Wednesday because there was no practice.

115
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: A walkthrough was held, not open to the media, but

116
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: there was both good news and I wouldn't say concerning news,

117
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: but good news bad news on the injury front. By

118
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: the way, why I walk through, according to head coach

119
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon, what's best for the team this particular week,

120
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: going into this particular matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

121
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: And I think we got an indication of why it

122
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: was a walkthrough because of how lengthy the injury report

123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: was on Wednesday. Yes, even there was no practice, there's

124
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: still an injury report, just an estimation on who was

125
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: able or unable to do what you had planned for

126
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: that Wednesday, but an early indication of just how banged

127
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: up this team is. Here midweek to make sure that

128
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: one you get your rest, but more importantly, you get

129
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: that recovery so you can practice Thursday and Friday and

130
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: get ready for a game on Sunday before you hit

131
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: the bye week.

132
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: Twenty eight total players, and that obviously also includes the

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers. Bo was an even split fourteen fourteen

134
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 4: players that were listed on the injury report. And it's

135
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 4: not like the Cardinals are a week away from the

136
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 4: bye week. They know that they're going to have an

137
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: opportunity to rest up their players during that time away,

138
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 4: which I think will be needed. With that being said,

139
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: you still need to try to get your guys out

140
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 4: there the best that you can. You can't just cancel

141
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: a practice or walk through still is going to provide

142
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: tons of value? Now is it going to provide more

143
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: value to some than others?

144
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: Sure?

145
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 4: I would love if it wasn't a walk through, so

146
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: you could see where Kai where Murray is at in

147
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: his progression, and how Marvin Harrison Junior is in a

148
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: practice that is a little bit more up tempo with

149
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: a little bit more speed to it. I would love

150
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: to see Walter Nolan the Third, who just had his

151
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: practice window open for the first time, be able to

152
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 4: throw on the pads. But I also do recognize that

153
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: that's a selfish thinking on our end for what this

154
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: team needs right now. They got pretty banged up in

155
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: the game against Indianapolis Colts. They have a very physical

156
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: Green Bay team that's coming to town. You want to

157
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 4: try to utilize whatever resources you have to just try

158
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: to ease them into it.

159
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Here's the headline, then we'll kind of break it down.

160
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: But the headline, as you mentioned, yes, Kyler Murray on

161
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: the practice field, Walter Nolan the Third on the practice field,

162
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: Darius Robinson on the practice full field on Wednesday. Let's

163
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: now just focus first off on the offense, and yes,

164
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: everyone wants to know about the quarterback. Nothing definitive out

165
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: of JG on Wednesday, but again practicing on a limited

166
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: basis on Wednesday, which is a good sign. We did

167
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: see Kyler practice on limited basis on Friday, ultimately inactive

168
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts. What does it mean for his

169
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 1: availability this week? I think he already mentioned it earlier,

170
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: Zach Thursday's practice and then Friday's practice. Are you still

171
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: a limited participant but then again limited With Kyler Murray

172
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: and his skill set with a foot now, I know

173
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: what the reports are out there that it could be

174
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: a Liz Frank Kype type of injury, but are you

175
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: able to push off? I mean, we know he can

176
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: throw the football, we saw that last Friday going into

177
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: the Colts game. But how are you dropping back to pass?

178
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: How are you scrambling? Can you push off that back

179
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: foot in order to throw a deep ball or just

180
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: throw any ball with any kind of velocity to get

181
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: it to your pass catchers. That's the big question going

182
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: into this week. The mobility is a critical part of

183
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's game. It's what makes him such an unpredictable players,

184
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: and it's what causes nightmares for a lot of defensive

185
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: coordinators as they're preparing for K one to be out there.

186
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: If you eliminate that part of his game, sure he

187
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: could stay in the pocket and probably throw the football around.

188
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: That's something we saw during that one practice when he

189
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: was limited last week. But you eliminate a part of

190
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: his game that makes Kyler who he is. So you

191
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: have to be very smart about it because this what's

192
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: being described as kind of a mid.

193
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: Foot sprain right now. It's a sensitive part of the

194
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 4: body and for somebody that utilizes his legs and his

195
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: skill set, his speed as much as Kyler Murray does,

196
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: you need to make sure you're being smart about this.

197
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: You have the bye week on deck. There's a chance

198
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: that I mean, Jonathan Gannon said that if Kyler Murray's

199
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 4: healthy enough to play in the game, he's healthy enough

200
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: to play into He's healthy enough to play, and they

201
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: would have no problems trotting him out there. I don't

202
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 4: disagree with that, but if you're thinking about the longevity

203
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: of the season and what you might be getting out

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 4: of Kyler Murray, there's a chance that they're looking at

205
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: that bye week and they're saying, hey, we give him

206
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: now three total weeks to rest up and an extra

207
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 4: day because the game's on Monday Night Football that this

208
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 4: coaching staff says, well, we're gonna take our time with it.

209
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I'm just speaking from my perspective of

210
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 4: what I think it could be, but it's still we

211
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 4: would have a very different conversation with Kyler. Murray was

212
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: not on the practice field on Wednesday at all if

213
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: he was listed as a DNP. But he's listed as

214
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 4: a limited participant, and we'll see over these next two

215
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 4: days what he ends up looking like.

216
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: Kyler one of ten different Cardinal players to be limited

217
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, including Marvin Harrison Junior in concussion protocol, but

218
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: was able to do something or estimated to be able

219
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: to do something during Wednesday's practice slash walkthrough. Amario deMercado

220
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: did not practice dealing with an ankle issue, and Zay

221
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: Jones popped up on the injury report dealing with they need.

222
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember during the game Zay even exiting the

223
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: field at all. We know Amari left in that game

224
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: against the Colts in the first half and certainly may

225
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Bam Knight more of a factor as far as snaps

226
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: are concerned on offense, but to pay attention to hopefully

227
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: Marvin is able to go this week and then we'll

228
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: see about Zay Jones. The other thing offensively was you

229
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: are now down your top two best blocking tight ends.

230
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: The Cardinals made it official on Wednesday. Travis vocallec placed

231
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: on ir his season is done. Scary situation on Sunday

232
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. The good news was that he was able

233
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: to return back to Arizona with the team, had a

234
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: movement in all of his extremities. All we know is

235
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: that it was a neck issue according to the head coach,

236
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: and Josiah Deguara has been signed to the active roster

237
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: to give you help at that position. Now the trickle down,

238
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: you've got Trey McBride, you got Elijah Higgins, and then

239
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of unknown And what we saw on

240
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: Sunday was Trey and Elijah and Calvin Beachum. And I

241
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: think you're going to hear more of sixty eight has

242
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: reported eligible. Sixty eight is eligible because you need that

243
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: that extra body, that extra blocker on that offensive line.

244
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: If you hope to get this run game going, because

245
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: that's what this offense is all about. It's about the

246
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: run game and having that extra blocker, I e. A

247
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: tight end, but you don't have Tip Priman. Now you

248
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: don't have Travis Vocalek, and those are your best blocking

249
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: tight ends on the roster.

250
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 4: There's so many different things that I would love to

251
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: unpack based off what you were saying. Because yes, Somaro

252
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: de Mercado is listed as a DMP with the ankle

253
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: injury he had, which put more on the plate of

254
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: Bam Knight and Michael Carter. Well, Bam Knight's also on

255
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 4: the injury report. He was listed as a limited participant

256
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 4: with the knee injury. How does that change things around?

257
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: You'll get your wide receivers, Your top three wide receivers

258
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 4: are all on the injury report right now. How does

259
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 4: that change things around? Your quarterback is on the injury report,

260
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 4: and then you talk about at tight end and needing

261
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: to have that eligible lineman come in and Calvin Beachum.

262
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: This team has really been hit with the injury bug,

263
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: and it's been hit with the injury bug quite hard.

264
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: It's something that it's not an excuse. Every team is

265
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: going through it right now.

266
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: But it's tough.

267
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 4: It's tough to constantly have to try to figure out

268
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: the puzzle pieces that you're trying to that you're trying

269
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: to put together as to what you could construct to

270
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: make this offense what it could end up being. Yes,

271
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: you are going to need a lot more of Kelvin

272
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: Beacham who was on the injury port peceless as the

273
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 4: rest day. That's a typical that's a Wednesday Wednesday. That's

274
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: a Wednesday tradition. At this point, you're gonna need You're

275
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: gonna hear a lot of the referee getting on the

276
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: mic and saying number sixty eight is your porting eligible?

277
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: Now if it's the officials we had a few weeks

278
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,239
Speaker 4: ago who struggled to say that it's a completely different conversation.

279
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 4: But we're we're anticipating that the referee could see Beach's

280
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 4: number out there, and he's gonna say Kelvin's name a lot.

281
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: And you start to see that a little bit, especially

282
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: in the jumbo sets that they were doing when they

283
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: would also bring John Gaines out there, and then you

284
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 4: knew it was gonna be an automatic run in those cases,

285
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 4: having Beach out there. It's an extra person, yes, but

286
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: it also still leaves you a little bit of an

287
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 4: unpredictable in an unpredictable mode because you could still pass

288
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 4: with the with him being that additional eligible quote unquote

289
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 4: receiver out there. So Cardinals that offense, they're they're very

290
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: banged up the defense as well. It's a it's all

291
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: three phases. As Jag likes to say, you hope that

292
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: this Wednesday walked through could really serve them well.

293
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: By the way, Beach played twenty snaps against the Colts

294
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: twelve the week before. I went back and looked at

295
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: his Pro Football Reference page, and over fourteen years in

296
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: the league, Beach doesn't even have well, he hasn't he

297
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have a catch. He hasn't even been targeted over

298
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: his career. So I know Darren Urban's got a story

299
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: up on Asycardinals dot Com about it. I briefly talk

300
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: with Beach in the locker room, say hey, would you

301
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: want that opportunity? He's like, yeah, no, I'm a blocker.

302
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: So that's he doesn't want the ball. He doesn't know

303
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: he he understands his role. Even though Drew Petsing earlier

304
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: in the week mentioned how good Beach's hands are as

305
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: far as catching the ball and maybe wanting to pass

306
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: thrown his way. No, Kelvin beacham knows what he's good at,

307
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: and knows what he's not good at, and doesn't want

308
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: any part of the football being thrown his direction. Now

309
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I say this, and then all of a sudden, this

310
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: week or next week or whatever it is, all of

311
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: a sudden, there's a target to sixty eight. Beach did say, Hey,

312
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: if it's gonna help us win a ball game and

313
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: it's what we need to do that particular week, sure

314
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: put me out there and let me run a little

315
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: quick out route or whatever, a quick screen or something.

316
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: But I do think it would be again for someone

317
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: who's been in the year league fourteen years, why not

318
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: get a target before you call it a career.

319
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: Well, I will say, if he does get the ball

320
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 4: in space, look I pray for that defensive back that

321
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 4: tries to bring him down because Beach is just going

322
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: to stop at nothing. Now we are getting very excited

323
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 4: about sting Nette likely is not gonna happen. But then again,

324
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 4: we never really know. You never you never really know,

325
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 4: And I think in this case, you need as much

326
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: as you can right now to try to make your

327
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: offense unpredictable. You're struggling the rushing attack, so you're anticipating

328
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 4: to throw the ball a lot more. With how close

329
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: these games have been, especially in the last few minutes,

330
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: the Cardinals have forced themselves to have to be in

331
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 4: known passing situations. Whatever you could do to try to

332
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 4: give yourself that level that puts the defense on edge

333
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: a little bit and doesn't let them be at ease.

334
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: Whatever it could be, you have to try to get

335
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 4: it done. So, hey, maybe an explosive to Beach's incoming.

336
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: We don't know, And here's why you know it's not.

337
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: The offensive line is so important, particularly this week. The

338
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers have the number one rush defense in

339
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: the league, allowing just seventy three yards a game, and

340
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: we know how much of a struggle it's been for

341
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: this Cardinals team to establish a consistent run game or

342
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: be more efficient. So, yes, what do you do if

343
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: you're there as on a Cardinals If it's a backup

344
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: quarterback with banged up wide receivers, with banged up running backs,

345
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you've got Calvin Beach him

346
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: out there a little bit more or maybe maybe it's

347
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: worth Elijah Higgins becoming more of that blocking tight end.

348
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: How much has he improved his blocking game. Trey McBride

349
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: as well. But those two I put in the category

350
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: of the pass catching tight ends who might stay in

351
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: to chip or a little bit and then release, as

352
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: opposed to what we got from Tip and Travis. Vocalik agreed, however,

353
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: that might need to change correct. Yes, and that's where

354
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: Tip Trey McBride, one of the Tea's. Trey McBride is

355
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: going to be your pass catching tight end bar non period.

356
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: That's his role.

357
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 4: He will chip at the line of scrimmage and he'll

358
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: do whatever he can, and he'll obviously block every now

359
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 4: and then, and that's going to be something that he's

360
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: going to do. Of course, Elijah Higgins, it would have

361
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: surprised me if they try moving him into try sliding

362
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: him a little bit more into that tip rieman role

363
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 4: because of how solid he he is in the rushing attack,

364
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 4: in the run blocking attack, and potentially sliding Josiah Daguara

365
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: into that Elijah Higgins role that you were just talking about.

366
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: That would not be too far fetch from me because

367
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: during the preseason Josiah Deguara was kind of that played

368
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: the role that Elijah Higgins did. That's why it wouldn't

369
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 4: surprise me if if you see him a little bit

370
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 4: more in passing situations where he has the potential of

371
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: reeling in a pass, and you see a little bit

372
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 4: more of Elijah Higgins in the rushing attack, because I

373
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 4: don't think you could just abandon it. That's what you

374
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 4: created this offensive playbook around was the three tight end sets.

375
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 4: Now we know the numbers, especially in that game against

376
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: the Seattle Seahawks, they were only in thirteen personnel only

377
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 4: once or twice. I'm not sure how much different it's

378
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: going to be when you're going up against the next

379
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: number one rushing defense in the league.

380
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: Higgins six' three two forty, Five deguara six two forty

381
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: which you compare their size To Tip rymans six' five

382
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: two seventy One IN travis. Vocalec sixty so how you're

383
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: built as far as what you. Can handle, but again,

384
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: roles change and they have changed very quickly For This arizona,

385
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: cardinals team. Especially offensively now let's turn the tables to,

386
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: the defense where there is some, good news hopefully a

387
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: lot of. Good News But darius robinson on the practice Field.

388
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: On wednesday he's missed the past two games.

389
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: Because of that.

390
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Peck issue does he return? This week, and then of

391
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: course the headline and the story of. The day first

392
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: round Draft Pick walter nolan the third was on The.

393
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: Field wednesday he had his practice. Window opened hasn't done

394
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: anything since the OFFSEASON MEANING o tas and, mini camp

395
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: but that window to see your first round talent on the,

396
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: practice field even though we didn't See, it wednesday well

397
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: hope to see It on Thursday. And friday but the

398
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: fact that he was out there with, his teammates because

399
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: if you're, on pup you can't. Do anything you're. A

400
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: spectator you can't even step foot on the field to

401
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: do any drills with or without or with. Your teammates

402
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: you can work, by yourself but you can't do anything

403
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: with your position group or the rest of. The team

404
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: so the fact that the window was Open allows walter

405
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: and on the third to get out there and at

406
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: least start that process to get his football legs underneath

407
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: him and then take what he's learned in the classroom

408
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: out on the.

409
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 4: Practice field similar to how we were Talking About kyler

410
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: murray when it comes to understanding the bye week and

411
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: with how close it is in your schedule, right now

412
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: that's probably something this staff has, thought about is just

413
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 4: trying To get, walter in get a few practices under,

414
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 4: his belt give him some time, to rest let his

415
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: body reacclimate to being a part of the padded, practice

416
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: scene and then try to give it another approach and

417
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: try to give it another try with bringing him. Out

418
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 4: there we Have seen walter at points throughout the facility

419
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 4: just kind of. Walking around he sometimes pops into the,

420
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 4: locker room and we haven't really seen much, of him

421
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 4: but we've seen him at. Certain points last week he

422
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 4: was at, two Practices if i'm, not mistaken watching and

423
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 4: you saw something Similar With ball nichols just a few

424
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: weeks prior when he was the week before his practice window.

425
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: Was open he was out.

426
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 4: There watching i'm not saying we cracked, the code but

427
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: we might have cracked the code because that we had,

428
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 4: that IDEA and i tweeted about it On my Twitter

429
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: Account Zac CAZy cards during, the game they were talking

430
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 4: about ON the tv Broadcast How johnathan, Gannon Said walter

431
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: nolan the third is getting close to returning and we

432
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 4: end up seeing only a few days later he's back

433
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: out on the. Practice field i'm Eager for thursday's practice

434
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 4: to see what he looks like back, in pads because

435
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 4: we also haven't just seen the guy. In pads players

436
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 4: look different when they're wearing the pads versus when, they're

437
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 4: not and you start to see that a lot with

438
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 4: a Guy Like, darius robinson who is just looks like

439
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: he was developed in a lab period and then you

440
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: throw pads on him and, YOU'RE, Like whoa like he's a.

441
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: Big dude you saw That With jordan birch. As well

442
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: that's something we have not Seen With walter nolan the

443
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: third because during OTAs when he was, out there they're not.

444
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: In pads they're just wearing. A Helmet so i'm eager

445
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 4: to see what what looks like once he gets that

446
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: extra layer under. His, jersey, still though whatever you could

447
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 4: do to try to ramp up, the process they're gonna

448
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 4: they're gonna be smart. About it they got twenty one

449
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: days to try to figure something out when they have

450
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 4: to reinstate him to the fifty three, man roster otherwise

451
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: they have to keep him on. The sidelines for the.

452
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 4: Entire Season but i'm Expecting for walt to be making

453
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 4: this fifty three sometime.

454
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: Pretty soon You Mentioned baalaal nichols and his practice window,

455
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: opened up and then he, was, playing yeah a couple of.

456
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: Days LATER now i completely missed on THAT because i

457
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: mentioned at, the time, here's someone and yes he's, a

458
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: veteran so maybe that was a little. Bit Different but

459
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: ballall had not done anything football related in a year

460
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: after he suffered that, neck injury and then he gets

461
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: a couple of practices and he's plug. And play the

462
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: difference Here with walter hasn't done any football activities since,

463
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: the offseason hasn't been in pads since he was a

464
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: college Player At. OLE miss i think he's going to.

465
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: Need now it could be completely wrong HERE as i Was,

466
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: with BALLAAL but i think because what, You said walter hasn't,

467
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: done anything hasn't had a, padded practice hasn't felt WHAT

468
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: the nfl game is versus the. COLLEGE game i think

469
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: you're going to.

470
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 2: Need probably all.

471
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: Three weeks november fifth is when you have to make

472
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: that decision to either activate him to the, fifty three

473
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: and if, you don't then he remains on pup the

474
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: rest of, The season so that Would put week ten

475
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: At the seahawks as maybe your target date to play in.

476
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: A game but then there's Also The will hernandez scenario

477
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: where you're added to the active roster but you're just

478
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: there practicing because you need those reps before you can

479
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: become a player on the, football field giving you even

480
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: more time with.

481
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 4: The player do you remember THIS something i would have

482
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 4: to go. Look up do you remember how Long after

483
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 4: darius came back the second time how long he was

484
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 4: out FOR because i think he was two Weeks if i'm.

485
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 4: Not mistaken he had two weeks, of practicing not including

486
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 4: the one practice he, was at and then they ended up,

487
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 4: you know he ended up not practicing again for the

488
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 4: next considerable.

489
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: Remember correctly a year Ago, with darius so for the

490
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: calf injury before the start of the regular season gets,

491
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: PLACED on, i are the practice window OPENS and i

492
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: think he just practiced that one day and then basically

493
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: you didn't see him the rest of the time and that.

494
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: Practice window.

495
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 4: So That's what I'm what i'm saying is when they

496
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 4: brought him that. That, happened, yes afterwards main preparation for

497
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 4: the game Against The. Minnesota vikings i'm gonna look it

498
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: up NOW because i think that that's probably gonna be.

499
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 4: Their approaching granted to steal a Line From jonathan agannon

500
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 4: that it's a very different process with everybody's body and

501
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: the way that they. Handle INJURIES but i didn't surprise

502
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 4: me if that's a similar which kind of falls a

503
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: little bit more in line With The will hernandez approach

504
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: of trying to ease him back into things and let

505
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: him get his legs under him a. Little bit THAT'S

506
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 4: what i think that they're gonna. Go with but, Then

507
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 4: again johnathan again it was asked about the mental side

508
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: of things for a rookie, coming in and he said

509
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 4: that he actually thinks well has an advantage because of

510
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: how much time he has spent in the classroom and

511
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 4: doing a lot of different things that he thinks he

512
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: has a.

513
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Mental Advantage The Darius Robinson walter nolan the. Third comparison

514
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: you have same. Body part yes it's a, calf injury

515
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: but you don't know how severe either.

516
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: One was we just know the.

517
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: Process To get darius back on the football field was

518
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: kind of an up and. Down process Now with, walter

519
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: again it's what can? You handle how do you go through?

520
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: This walkthrough how do You handle? Thursday's workload how do

521
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: you feel Waking up. FRIDAY morning i just think because

522
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: you haven't done anything and you haven't even worn pads

523
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: IN an, nfl practice that it's going to take maybe

524
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: even longer than just that, practice window especially considering, Next,

525
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: week zach it's a, bye week so how many how

526
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: many practices are they going to be on the practice

527
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: field next week during The bye but this having the

528
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: window open Does allow walter to be on the practice

529
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: field even though he might not be. Full speed, window

530
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: closes he gets added to the fifty three, man roster

531
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: and maybe it's not, week ten but maybe week eleven or,

532
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: week twelve because as you pointed Out With, will hernandez

533
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: yeah he was on the active roster, week one but

534
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: we didn't see him until, week five so and those

535
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: were valuable reps to get his legs underneath him and

536
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: then get that body callous to what it's going to

537
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: feel like.

538
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: And be ready FOR an.

539
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 4: Nfl GAME so i just looked it up real quick

540
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 4: over research live on.

541
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 2: The air good.

542
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 4: For You the cardinals, last season They played week ten

543
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: Against The New.

544
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: York, JETS walter i Mean.

545
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 4: Not Walter darius robinson already had his practice window open at.

546
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 4: That point they needed to sign him to the fifty

547
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 4: three so that they didn't lose him for the. Entire

548
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 4: season at, that point he did not practice, at all

549
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 4: was out Against The New York jets. Week Eleven the

550
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 4: cardinals had to buy similar to situation to What Walteron

551
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 4: olan third is going through. Right now they had. To

552
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 4: buy So obviously darius was not out there to Start a,

553
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 4: week twelve which is When the cardinals Played the seahawks

554
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 4: for the first time in three weeks, or yeah in

555
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 4: that three, Week Stretch walt darius was out on the,

556
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: practice field was a limited participant at, each practice did

557
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: not play In that week. Twelve game, week thirteen was

558
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 4: a limited participant all week and was out on the

559
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 4: field Against The. Minnesota vikings so he had a total

560
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 4: of six padded practices as a limited Participant Before darius

561
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 4: robinson was back on the. Football field there's a good

562
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 4: chance That the cardinals sees something very similar Here with

563
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 4: Walter and olan. The third they have this, walk through

564
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 4: they go what they go through this. Entire week maybe

565
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 4: he's a. Limited participant there's a chance he. Doesn't play

566
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 4: they'll have the bye week and then you'll have that

567
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 4: additional bonus Practice, that monday probably or whenever they'll have

568
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: it as they prepare for the For The dallas Cowboys

569
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 4: On monday. Night football he'll probably have about five padded

570
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 4: practices under. HIS belt i think that there could. Be

571
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: enough he's a very. Similar situation he's a. Rookie now the,

572
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 4: one difference the, Biggest difference darry's still had training camps

573
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: to feel what going UP against nfl offensive lineman.

574
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: Or Life the cardinals will be cautious as they are with,

575
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: all injuries and even more so with a first round

576
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: Talent As walter, nolan third a consensus First Team, all

577
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: american First TEAM all sec finalists For The. Outland trophy

578
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: that's What The arizona cardinals drafted with the sixteenth. Overall

579
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: pick we just haven't seen it in a practice during the,

580
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: regular season and this is now all of. A, sudden

Speaker 1: field when will we see him in? A game i

583
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: do think it's going to be maybe a little bit

584
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: layer than. People want i'll raise. My Hand yet i'd

585
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: like to see him. THIS week i just don't think.

586
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: That's Realistic And kalais campbell in the locker room post

587
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: walk through Practice on, wednesday, mentioned yeah Long Term, walter

588
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: nolan if he can, stay Healthy in, kalaius's words he's,

589
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: a stud he's. A beast, short, Term though kalayis, reminded,

590
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: everyone hey. Slow down you're excited to be on the,

591
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: practice field but don't let that overtake you and all

592
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're doing more than what your body.

593
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: Can handle, Day one, Day two. Day three this is

594
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: a process to get you back on, the field hopefully

595
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: this season for a good part of. This season but

596
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: a first round talent that's a long term play where

597
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: you hope you have, him, eight nine ten plus years in.

598
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: Your building you don't want to risk anything that would

599
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: set him back this season or even going into. NEXT

600
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: season i noticed In the week four game Against, The Seahawks,

601
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: walter nolan the third Stood By kalais campbell during his

602
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: entire pregame warmup and was watching how the eighteen year

603
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: vet works out.

604
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 4: Before they get ready. To go and then they walked

605
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 4: off the, field together and that moment has kind of

606
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 4: stuck with me that the Words of kalais is something

607
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 4: that a. Young rookie we've seen It With. Darius robinson

608
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 4: we haven't seen It with walter because we haven't Been

609
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: around walter enough to. See It but khalaius's, words STICK

610
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: and i think that for a, young player you're chomping at.

611
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 4: The bit you want to get. Out there you want

612
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 4: to show what you're, made of you want to prove

613
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 4: why you're a first. Round talent and for all the

614
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 4: critics that had something to Say About walter nolan prior

615
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 4: to his draft and just the entire thing surrounding, his

616
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 4: personality and clearly that was something that he has spoken

617
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 4: with us about about the frustration and the helplessness or

618
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: the helplessness of feeling that and you want to just prove,

619
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: people wrong and you haven't had that chance to. Do

620
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: that and now that there's already all these people calling

621
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: you a bus because you haven't even played a, game

622
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 4: yet because you've. BEEN injured I think kalaius is right,

623
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 4: long term he will be.

624
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 2: A stud.

625
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 4: Short term they have to be smart, about It but

626
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 4: i'm curious to know if they've kept him on injured

627
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: reserve or on the pup list longer to make sure

628
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 4: that he's at this point where once they throw him

629
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 4: on the, practice field there is not a doubt in

630
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 4: their mind that he is one hundred percent ready, to

631
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 4: go not that he's eighty, five percent and now they

632
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 4: could ramp.

633
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: Him up to.

634
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 4: One hundred i'm curious if he's at one hundred percent

635
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 4: right now and then they could slowly start to ramp

636
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 4: him up so that one hundred percent feels like you're

637
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 4: one hundred percent out on.

638
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: The field, good point because he's one hundred. Percent healthy

639
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 1: the calf. Is healthy now. It's okay how long does it,

640
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: Take you walter to get your legs under you as

641
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: far as, football shape not not getting the calf, in

642
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: shape but what is it going? To take how long

643
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: is it going to take for you to get to

644
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: where you need to be on a game day as

645
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: Opposed to Monday. Through, SATURDAY yeah i think it's the

646
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: strength that's what's gonna be interesting for him is in.

647
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: The trenches. It's DIFFERENT and i remember that Something That

648
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: darius robinson was talking about during his rookie year was

649
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: just when you feel somebody's hands, on you.

650
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: Like that that's a.

651
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: Jarring moment the first couple of times that, it happens

652
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 4: you get to have that ramp up. In practice but

653
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: the ramp up is going to be very different because

654
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 4: you're likely going to be with that first team defense

655
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 4: that's going to be going up against the. Scout team

656
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: it's not going to be lining up Across From Paris

657
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 4: johnson junior every single rep during practice because of the

658
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: way That the cardinals obviously are going to have. Things

659
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 4: organized i'm not, Sure though I'm just i'm very eager

660
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 4: to see what number ninety seven looks like once he

661
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 4: does get.

662
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: Out there third defensive tackle off the Board Behind mason

663
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: Graham And.

664
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: Kenneth grant, so.

665
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah a lot of Excitement about walter being on, the

666
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: field and we'll just now kind of monitor how long

667
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: it's it going to take before we see him in an.

668
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: Actual game one other.

669
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: Injury note by, the way defensive, line wise You the

670
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: cardinals are going to play this cautiously and they don't

671
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: need To rush.

672
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: Walter back they don't rush.

673
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: Anyone back But If darius robinson is back, this Week

674
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: below nichols back, this, week now all of, a sudden

675
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: you've got two main pieces as part of that five

676
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: to six man rotation along the defense, of line and

677
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: maybe you can take some more of the pressure off

678
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: Of A kalais Campbell Or dalvin Tomlinson And, adante stills

679
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: who have basically been your mainstays and your most consistent

680
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. To date, so AGAIN it's i would just

681
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: pump the brakes a little bit as Far, as okay

682
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be, this week next week's TO buye

683
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 1: i don't even know that money night Game. Against dallas

684
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: if you see him on, the field.

685
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 4: This is a very different conversation than if It was

686
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 4: week five getting ready to play Against The tennessee Titans

687
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: when darius is out because he has his peck injury

688
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 4: and you're Unsure if boall is going to be playing

689
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 4: or not at. That point THAT'S what i. Feel like

690
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: we're kind of we think we're in, that moment but.

691
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 4: We're not the guys are healthy or they're getting healthy.

692
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 4: Out there we have to be smart when it comes

693
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 4: to the first. Round talent you cannot potentially hurt his

694
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 4: stock and what he could bring to the table because

695
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 4: you're eager to see what he looks like eagerness is a.

696
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: Great thing it's something that could you a. Little bit

697
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 4: but eagerness cannot result.

698
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: To, recklessness wow that was. Pretty good?

699
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: Thank you did you just come up with that on

700
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: your own? Right now in, THE moment, I, did okay

701
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna put that on you on signs or whatever and.

702
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 2: Bumper stickers it was a. Good, saying well.

703
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: It, was now if eagerness leads to recklessness on, the

704
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 4: road there will.

705
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: Be, crash yeah that. Is true that's that's. My bad

706
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: i'm not crashing.

707
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: And burning, but hey Maybe it's walter healthy enough. To

708
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: Practice garrett williams not quite healthy enough to have his practice.

709
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: Window open he's missed the required four games after hurting

710
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: his knee, week two so we'll keep an eye. On

711
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: that cardinals this week Host The Green. Bay packers one

712
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,400

Speaker 1: max For The cardinals bo For. The packers different scenario

716
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: this Year because bo.

00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: Is now a Cornerback.

718
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: Like max bo played wide receiver, last season so there

719
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: was that ability and we did see them lining up

720
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: against one another. Special teams though we Talked with max

721
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: in the locker Room. On, wednesday oh he's going to

722
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: make sure that he finds away some point in that

723
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: Game on sunday to line up against a fellow, number

724
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: Sixteen because bo has also changed not, only position but

725
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: his number. As well so you'll See the mountain brothers

726
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: lined up against one Another.

727
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 4: On Sunday, travis hunter who because it seems like the

728
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 4: first dual sport or dual side athlete that we're going

729
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,680

730
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 4: mountain he was training during. Training camp they moved him over,

731
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 4: to cornerback but he was still taking reps at, wide

732
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 4: RECEIVER and i think it's going to be interesting to

733
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 4: See What bow mountain the cornerback looks Like Versus beau

734
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 4: melton the. Wide receiver but you Spoke with max and,

735
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 4: he said at some point he's going to make sure

736
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 4: that this. Does happen he's. Very eager that's when. Eagerness,

737
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 4: recklessly no, There, Doesn't matt it just is whatever it

738
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 4: takes to get.

739
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: Out there but it'll.

740
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 4: Be Exciting The vicky mellon their mom had a customized

741
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: jersey last year was half of It Was Green, bay

742
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: packers the other half of it It Was. Arizona cardinals

743
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 4: but that Was when bow was. Number Eighty so i'm

744
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 4: curious to know if they got another.

745
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 2: One, jersey OKAY.

746
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: And i feel like that would probably be easier to

747
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: do like, a joint like you just cut it down.

748
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 4: The middle it's still the number. One six we need

749
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 4: to follow up With with Max. ON thursday i Feel

750

Speaker 4: like i'm on a creative high.

751
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: Right now i've.

752
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: Flag football we discuss this, bumper sticker.

753
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: Probably wrong phrasing on. My part probably not a, bumper

754
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: sticker but just, you know one of those models that

755
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: you put up in your office or you know in the.

756
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: Locker room it's it's going to be the new tradition

757
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: when you walk outside, the facility you have to slap it.

758
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 4: Every, day, eagers eagerness. Not, recklessness bam let's go have.

759
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 4: A day you might want to set now this idea

760
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 4: over to your. Alma, mater okay now.

761
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: That's RECKLESS as i just completely Deflated Young zach gershman Here.

762
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 4: On, cardinals okay they've already shown our former head coach

763
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: ON the tv.

764
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: One other Note about, sunday's GAME and i mentioned it

765
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: because he is the scheduled Guest For Big red rage,

766
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: this week and That Is Mac wilson senior appearing in

767
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: his one hundredth career regular season Game, on sunday a

768
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: milestone that should, be celebrated even more So because mac

769
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: is playing very well. This season leads the team in

770
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: tackles and, passes defense the only player in the league

771
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: with fifty or more tackles and six or more. Passes

772
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: defense so he is doing What the cardinals thought he

773
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: could do when they made him that green dot guy

774
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of, the defense and what they thought

775
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: he could potentially be when they signed him in the

776
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: offseason after seeing him play defensively For the patriots, to,

777
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: say hey we've got a defense that we think is

778
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: best suited for your.

779
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: Kind of a.

780
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: Skill set why don't you? Sign here even THOUGH believe i,

781
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: remember correctly the money was the same or might have

782
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: been a little bit More With, new england but he

783
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: chose the opportunity here In the DESERT because i think

784
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: he saw What the cardinals saw as far as his

785
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: role within, this defense and there was also going to

786
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: be the staff Changes With gerrod mayo taking Over In

787
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: new england and everything. With that But Mac wilson senior

788
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: saw an opportunity out here and believe that he could

789
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: fit in similar to What the cardinals currently Having A keem.

790
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: Davis gather he was primarily just a special, teams guy

791
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: and they, were, saying hey we could have you line up,

792
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: right here right Next To. Kaizier white you'll be our.

793
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: Will linebacker we'll just have you kind of on the

794
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: weakside wall allso potentially have you coming off the edge a.

795
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: Little bit there are opportunities to get you on the

796
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: field defensively while not putting one hundred percent of the

797
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: snapload on you like they Did with kaizer And mac

798
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: wilson balled out and so far this year you rattled off.

799
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: The stats he is bawling out.

800
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 4: It is it's exciting because obviously as, an organization there's

801
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 4: been a lot of Hype Surrounding MacWilson senior with eighteen

802
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 4: bars and the, schedule release and you start to see

803
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 4: a lot of the excitement from. The players locker room guys,

804
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 4: are great they're great, to have but when the locker

805
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: room guy is also a baller on the. Football field

806
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: that is what makes. Guys irreplaceable so it's exciting To

807
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 4: See MacWilson senior still developing and this is his first

808
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 4: time as A true green dot linebacker and to see

809
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: how well he's done. So Far, rocket ship it's time to.

810
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 4: Take off he's already taken off quite a, Bit.

811
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: Though sideline to sideline the interception Against The indianapolis colts

812
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: in which not only was it sideline, to sideline but

813
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: showing his athleticism and jumping up to high point. That football,

814
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: so yeah the Move To Mac wilson senior as your defensive,

815
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: PLAY caller i think has really played well as Far,

816
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: as again it's one thing do you figure out and

817
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: have the discussion in, The offseason hey we'd like to.

818
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: Do, This great i'm.

819
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: On board now you, got Execute and mac is certainly

820
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: executing what he's being asked.

821
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 4: To do one quick thing to see a little bit

822
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 4: of a deeper dive Into Who Mac wilson. Senior is

823
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 4: check out the micd up that was just posted On

824
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 4: the cardinals social platforms and. On YouTube he was miked

825
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 4: up for the interception and you get to see just

826
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 4: how much the guys really rally with him and how

827
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 4: much they cheer, for him and it's fun to see

828
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 4: a team that's having fun. Out there and after the

829
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 4: loss That the cardinals had Against The, tennessee titans it

830
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 4: could be tough to have fun, out there especially after

831
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 4: the previous. Three losses but it's still good to see

832
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 4: that these guys it's for the love of the game

833
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 4: at this point with what they've been able, to do

834
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 4: and when you start to translate it to the love

835
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 4: of the game and that starts to translate, into wins

836
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 4: you find yourself in a. Better Position, The cardinals homer opinion,

837
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 4: or not they're not out. Of it we are still

838
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 4: very early in the season and a lot can change

839
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 4: for the good or for. THE worst i think in,

840
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 4: this case If Mac wilson senior's development it could be

841
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 4: sprinkled on throughout the. Entire team it will definitely be

842
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 4: for the good of. The team guys in that locker

843
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 4: room are saying all the, right things but they also

844
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 4: know they actually need to do all the right things

845
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 4: on the. Football field but there is. Not discourage there

846
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 4: is not discouragement in that. Locker room, there's frustration but.

847
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 4: Not discourage this team is ready Against The Green bay

848
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 4: packers and hopefully you get that w and then a

849
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 4: lot changes going into your. Bye Week david brant From

850
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 4: The associated press came over to us and he said

851
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 4: that no team has lost these amount of games to

852
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 4: four games by a total of nine points or less

853
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 4: except for the twenty seventeen Forty. Nine Ers if i'm

854
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 4: not mistaken in a team back in like, THE eighties

855
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 4: i want to.

856
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: SAY four i think it was the Eighty.

857
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 4: Four browns this is, not NORMAL and i mean that

858
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 4: in a you could, take that however you want a bird.

859
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 4: Gang like it's not normal what's going on right now

860
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 4: in terms of just the. Score total but it just SHOWS,

861
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 4: the nfl oh it's a one. Score game this kind

862
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 4: of stuff never happens when terms of just the walk

863
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 4: off on three straight losses and then this sort. Of

864
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 4: loss But the, cardinals team there's a reason why they're

865
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 4: not blowing up, the process and It's Because jonathan gannon

866
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 4: said that the nine points show just how close that.

867
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 4: They are that's What this cardinals team is going to

868
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 4: need to figure out if they're doubly down on, the

869
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 4: process is finding that one tweak that could separate them.

870
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 2: From losses.

871
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: To wins being close does. Mean something might not mean

872
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: anything to a lot, of people but it does mean

873
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: something within those coaches and with those players in the.

874
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: Locker room, so again one thing to, be close but

875
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: at some point you got to put it all together

876
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: and beyond the right end of those. Close games Because

877
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: the cardinals are the only team in the league in

878
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: which all of their games have been decided by seven points.

879
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: Or fewer that's the first two wins the season and

880
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: certainly the last four losses here in. Twenty five so

881
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: it's a one, score league and right Now the cardinals

882
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: are the headliners of that one.

883
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: Score league it's tough to do with what, they've, done

884
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 4: uh but hopefully that they're able to turn. It, around

885
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 4: look every single game that they've had so far has

886
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 4: gone down to. The wire they were able to come

887
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 4: away with, two wins they've. Lost others they have to

888
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 4: try to figure out what they can do to try

889
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 4: to get back in that. Win column, all right we'll.

890
