Snap spot. The kick 14 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: is up and the kick is no good. He missed 15 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: it wide to the ride. He missed it has a 16 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: Cardinals win at thirty four thirty three. Oh my goodness, 17 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: magic has happened in front of the Red Sea once again. 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Can you taste it? Sometimes things just happen. You can't 19 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: explain it. Maybe you don't want to explain it, and 20 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: that was the case on Sunday for the Cardinals. They 21 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: were the benefits of several breaks, including that missed chip 22 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: shot field goal as time expired. And here we are, gentlemen, 23 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: talking about a two and oh football team Drew have 24 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: you wouldn't been either have been on the receiving end 25 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: or on the other side of a game that ended 26 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: like that, A gimme field goal and it just does 27 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: not go between the uprights. Man, it's a nice feeling. 28 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: I think those are the games you look back on 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: at the end of the year and that's why you 30 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: get in the playoffs, that's why you kind of get 31 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: the ball rolling and really you can take the season 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: to divide it up into four quarters. Well, I guess 33 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: now with seventeen games it's a little bit harder to do. 34 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: But through that being able to start strong in September 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: and play in good football and you know, an O 36 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: and two football team. In the preseason, people were probably 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: asking questions, panicking and all this. We're two and oh 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: right now when it counts, and that's that's a testament 39 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: to everybody and all three phases of this team being 40 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: able to put them together. It's actually the first time 41 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: I've heard that call. Even though I had the headset 42 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: onto the sideline because the stadium was so loud, I 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: couldn't hear anything. It was just pandemonium. It was bedlam 44 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: down there. I wanted to run over and go find 45 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and yo at him. You're like that, you're 46 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: like that, But I figured Drew that, you know, former 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: Michigan State quarterback yourself, I might have gotten a straight right. 48 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: He might have dropped me right at about the thirty 49 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: yard line, So yeah, probably did he didn't, Paul, did 50 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: you know when the kick went up or when did 51 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: you realize from your vantage point that it was missed? 52 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: Right When you're on the sideline, it's very hard to tell, 53 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: is it not? Drew? The depth perception sometimes gets you. 54 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: But as it was going past the goal posts, I'm like, 55 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: wait a minute, that actually went beyond you know, you 56 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: could see the old posts in front of the ball. 57 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, I think that's wide right, And then instant later, boom, 58 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: the signal went up. But it can be deceiving, as 59 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: we all know because the Vikings radio announcer, Yes we can, 60 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: and I think that's why you look at those guys right, 61 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: it's so hard to see it. In most times when 62 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: you have that vantage point, like you said, you're looking 63 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: at the upright and see which side of it goes, 64 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: does the ball disappear if it doesn't, But most times 65 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: you're just looking at those guys to give you the signal. 66 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: It was crazy. I mean, you know, just to see 67 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: the reaction from everyone down there, and believe me, it 68 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: was sort of like a slow death march. I mean, 69 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: it was dead man walking that whole final four or 70 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: five plays of the drive, as they were basically just 71 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: improving their field position and getting their kicker in position, 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: and he'd hit two fifty two yarders early in the game. 73 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: You're thinking, even though he missed the extra point, and 74 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: maybe there was a pass factor in there, because Dave 75 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: was sure to mention that, but it seemed inevitable and 76 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: then boom. But there's no extra column in the standings. 77 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: It's win and it's lost. There's no extra points for 78 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: a dominant win in week one, and there's nothing less 79 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: than a win in if you win when you should 80 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: have lost, and that's arguable, but your two and alas 81 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Drew said, yeah, and it doesn't matter at the end 82 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: of the season, you're either in the playoffs or you're 83 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: not based off your record. And the Cardinals right now 84 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: two and oh, here's head coach Cliff Kingsbury after that 85 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: thirty four thirty three win. It's really happier for our guys. 86 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: I've lost my mind when when I saw a not 87 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: go through just because we battled, you know, to lose 88 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: a turnover battle, to give extended drive on that roughing 89 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: the kicker on the punt, and still find a way 90 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: to beat that team no matter how we got it done. 91 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: Was was impressive fight by these guys. You look at 92 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: how this game unfolded, drew and the first half, the 93 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: back and forth, neither team able to stop each others. 94 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: What I expected in Week one against the Titans and 95 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: their offense, And here the Vikings came ready to play 96 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: a desperate team. They punched the Cardinals in the mouth 97 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals took a little while to respond, gotting 98 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: getting down by thirteen points. But a good back and 99 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: forth from the fan perspective, a lot of fun to watch. 100 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: Maybe not for the players on the sidelines. Well, you 101 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: look at the adjustments they made a half time and 102 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: it's a testament to vance Joseph. I think Dalvin Cook 103 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: averaged over seven yards of carry in the first half, 104 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: So you have to be able to be prepared for 105 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: that style of offense. It's a zone running game. They're 106 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: gonna get their whole. You know there's gonna be holes 107 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: in there. You have to be very gap sound, and 108 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: when you have younger players sometimes it takes an adjustment, 109 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: get a feel for what they're trying to do and 110 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: break down you break you down defensively. So you look 111 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: at the second half of what Dalvin Cook did and 112 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't know for sure what a stats were, but 113 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: I think it was under three yards of carry. And 114 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: as an offensive team, our goal was always to have 115 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: four yards average per rush. So when you can get 116 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: below that in the second half and hold them to that, 117 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: you know it's going to give you a better chance 118 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: to be successful in the long term. And it wasn't 119 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 1: just the numbers. It was the eyeball test. He seemingly 120 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: in that first half was getting to the second level 121 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: untouched sixteen yard run followed by a thirteen yard run, 122 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: and I was shocked because Minnesota's interior line was a 123 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: liability against Cincinnati, So I was shocked early it seemed like, 124 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: to Drew's point, those two words again, gap integrity, that 125 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: was an issue. And then the linebackers seemed to be 126 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: over pursuing. Rob Frederickson cited that in the pregame show 127 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: going in that when Derrick Henry got a roll in 128 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: a whole bit in week one in the third quarter, 129 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: the inside linebackers were over pursuing. That seemed to be 130 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: happening against Dalvin Cook. But then there's Dalvin Cook. Wow, 131 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: was he impressive in person from the sideline. Just his 132 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: ability to make guys miss I mean seemingly the first 133 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: two or three guys who meant for a tackle missed 134 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: on him almost every snap. He finished with one hundred 135 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: and thirty one yards, but just thirty five yards in 136 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: the second half. Six ten plus runs in the first half, 137 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: just one in the second half. So the adjustment by 138 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Vans Joseph. And then you look offensively, Drew 139 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: at what Kyler Murray has done now in back to 140 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: back weeks. He totaled four touchdowns but two interceptions. Will 141 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: get into the offensive numbers in our next segment. But 142 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: when you look and it's good, we have a quarterback 143 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: here on the Cardinals Red Sea report. But those two interceptions, 144 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: we heard from Kyler Murray that he was hit on 145 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: the second one. There was a nice hand in the 146 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: face mask that adjusted his head and he thought that 147 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: was going to be a touchdown. But then the linebacker 148 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: coming out of nowhere? Is that one of those just hey, 149 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: tip the cap to the defense or did you see 150 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: something else on those two plays? Well, I think as 151 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback sometimes you get wrapped up in the results 152 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: and you have to peel back that and say, okay, 153 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: well why did I make that interception or why did 154 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: I throw that touchdown? I mean, if you look at 155 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: the big plays that happened throughout the course of the game, 156 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: sometimes it turns out good, sometimes it turns out bad. 157 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I thought the touchdown passed the Rondel Moore. 158 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: He actually could have thrown hot in the flat, but 159 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: he didn't. He made a guy miss, made it a 160 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: spectacular play and Rondell was there for a touchdown. But 161 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: those two interceptions, to your point, he made a rhythm throw. 162 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: You know, he was looking to the left and came 163 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: back to and Vigil just did a great job of 164 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: dropping to his own coverage. He hooked out just didn't 165 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: get it up far enough outside and get his eyes 166 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: there soon enough to see it. He did a great 167 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: job of looking off, but then because of that zone 168 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: dropper and his eyes are on the quarterback and they're 169 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: not playing man, he just jumped in front of it 170 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: and we got to pick now the second one. Again, 171 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: I'm not like so worried about getting hit in the face. 172 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: That's extremely difficult, and you know if him talking about that, 173 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: those little things do really have an effect on you. 174 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: People don't understand that the chaos in front of your 175 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: feet or getting hit in the head when you're trying 176 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: to make that throw. But with the free safety in 177 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: the middle of the field, that's somewhat of a risky 178 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: throw because that defender knows he has helped. So then 179 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: that corner can undercut the wide receiver and that's what 180 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: allowed the interception the transpire. So again, it's not necessarily 181 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: the end result as it is as much as why 182 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: it happened. It's amazing he's still had a passer rating 183 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: one seventeen point six even though he threw two picks, 184 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: including a pick six. That shows you how efficient and 185 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: productive he was. Otherwise, it's just what you hear out 186 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: of the locker room about Kyler. You know, come from 187 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: the arms, stay for the legs. Now, it's admire the mind. 188 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: It's how he's beating defenses with his mind going through 189 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: his progressions. If he listened to the head coach and 190 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: some of his teammates spreading the ball around even though 191 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: we'll turn his back to the line of scrimmage and 192 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: still circle out of there, and he's got the rear 193 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: view mirror goal and he's looking around. He now has 194 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: his eyes down field. So that's what guys are talking 195 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: about in there. The next step for Kyler as the 196 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: quarterback beating you with what's between the years four hundred 197 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: passing yards. Yet postgame, Kyler Murray just not quite all 198 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: the way happy. I'll tell you all the time. I mean, 199 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: it comes down to shoot ourselves in the foot and 200 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: stopping ourselves. We score, it feels easy and it feels fun, 201 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: and then we, you know, turn the ball over negative plays. 202 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: It's like, damn, you know, it feels ugly, but you know, 203 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: it is what it is. We have to we have 204 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,239 Speaker 1: to continue to get better and continue to practice. Cardinals 205 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: through two games, the number two ranked offense, the number 206 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: two ranked scoring offense. Yet it's how that game ended 207 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: with the offense not being able to finish the game 208 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: in that final drive. I total it up twenty four seconds. 209 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: When you have the lead and you want to finish 210 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: the game with the offense on the field. Unfortunately Drew, 211 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: that's not what happened, and I think that's what left 212 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: a bad taste and a lot of people's mouths when 213 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: you talk about the offense. Yeah, you always want to 214 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: end the game with the offense having the ball, you know. 215 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: That's what coaches always love to say is the best 216 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: formation of football is the victory formation. And so, you know, 217 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: I think you can tip the cap to what happened 218 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: in the first half though, and when you look at 219 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: being able to get those points and how instrumental that 220 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: was for Prayer to go out there and crush that 221 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: sixty two yard field goal that carried over. Now, yes, 222 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: the second half played out the way that it did, 223 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: but getting those points right before half were huge because 224 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: it puts you in the position to be able to 225 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: go out there and win. And you know, this is 226 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: a Likings team that honestly is probably gonna struggle. But 227 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: to Paul's point, when you can go out and you 228 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: can win in dominant fashion, or you can win close 229 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: football games. No matter how you win, going through each 230 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: scenario is only going to make you better throughout the 231 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: entire course of the season. Cliff Kingsbury did own that 232 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,599 Speaker 1: final possession in the postgame radio interview, he called it 233 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: quote awful play calling. Now, Kyler did step out of 234 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: bounds on the first play and that stopped the clock. 235 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: And then the second play there was the sack. Hello 236 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: Daniel Hunter. Wow, he is the real deal. Every time 237 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: you see him you realize how underrated he truly is. 238 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, and you know what, the defense was a 239 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: little gassed and they had to get right back out 240 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: of the field, like you said, after twenty four seconds 241 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: off the clock, and then it showed because Kirk Cousins 242 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: and company went right down the field. Yeah, it did 243 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: not look good, but the finish, that's all that matters, 244 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: is the Cardinals pick up the win. Here's Buddha Baker 245 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: on now being two and oh. Even as ugly as 246 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: it looked on Sunday, And that was definitely an ugly game, 247 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: but sometimes you got to win those ugly games. You know. 248 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: Our offense did a great job putting so much points 249 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: on a board for us and the defense, you know, 250 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: we gotta be better, especial teams. We gotta almost blocked punt, 251 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: got that penalty, you know a lot of penalties. We 252 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: can we can be better. But when is a win win? 253 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: In no mentality, cars win. A lot of mistakes Paul 254 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: made by all three phases of that game. But what 255 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: I liked is from the head coach to the players 256 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: that you spoke to in that locker room, it was Okay, 257 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: maybe we got a little lucky, but we know that 258 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: when we get back to work there are things we 259 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: need to correct for next week. Do you hear Buddha's breakdown? 260 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: And the Cardinals tweeted this out the locker room game 261 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: ball presentation and then the final team breakdown and Buddhas said, 262 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: we need a better Friday practice and Kyler said, look, 263 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: we came out flat during his postgame presser, and actually 264 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: that was Cliff Kingsbury who said that. And you know 265 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: what I asked around some of the coaches. A lot 266 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: of the coaches did not like the week of practice 267 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: going into this game. And what did Kyler say? One 268 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: of the biggest opponents last year was the word complacency. 269 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: So hopefully there's a mini lesson learned last week about 270 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: that because a year ago it was the Week three 271 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: game against the Lions at home that they lost at 272 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: the end and a Matt Prador game winning fuel goal, 273 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: and there was some of that going on. So hopefully 274 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: perhaps it's just a little reminder early in the season. Okay, 275 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: keep that edge, intensity and urgency during practice week you 276 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: play how do you practice correct, Drew? I mean more 277 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: times than not. Yes, But you can go out there 278 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: and again I think that when you see that and 279 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: you can head it off at the past, like Buddha 280 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: was saying, and you go out there. So next Friday 281 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: when they go out there, they're going to make sure 282 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: that they have the screws dialed in there and they're 283 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: really everybody is locked into what they need to do, 284 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: and Friday is just everybody calls it fast fast Friday 285 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL for a reason. You go out there, 286 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: you get your work and you get a sweat in everything. 287 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: The hay is in the bar, and at that point, 288 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: the game plans in everything is set up. So you 289 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: want to go out there. You don't want to have 290 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: to be rerunning plays or throwing interceptions or doing any 291 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: of these things. It's supposed to be crisp, and if 292 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: there is a lack of intensity that goes into that, 293 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: then it could show up and creep up like it 294 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: did in the early portion of that game. But the 295 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: veteran leadership and the documentation of what Steve kind to 296 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: get that so there is no panic throughout the entire 297 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: locker room or each position group. That's what allows to 298 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: carry you over in the third and fourth quarter to 299 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: go out and win these quote unquote ugly football games. 300 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: And that's where a JJ Watt comes in, a Rodney 301 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: Hudson comes in, a writer comes in. As far as 302 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: those editions in the offseason, those leaders, if you will, 303 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: in all three phases of the game. Bottom line is 304 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: though two and out, not going to apologize, and now 305 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: you look ahead to the Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll look ahead 306 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: and when we come back at exactly what Kyle Murray 307 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: did Sunday and what he has done now so far 308 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one.

Kyler, Murray make some pay 322 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: with a twelve yard run and then I'm un usual 323 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: touchdown celebration. Now, he was already on the ground, but 324 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: did you see he kind of did like the yoga 325 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: pose with his legs crossing his fingers in the air. Kyler, 326 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: your touchdown celebration? Was that just a yoga pose? I 327 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: was just starting with those guys. I was like, I've 328 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: never watched Star Wars before, so I don't I didn't 329 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: you know. I got to my phone, I see people 330 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: talking about baby Yoda. I had no clue what that was. 331 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't intending to do that because of that, 332 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: But yeah, I've never watched Star Wars before, so I 333 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: don't know. Please Drew Stanton, please tell me you have 334 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: seen Star Wars. Yes, okay, good, we can continue on 335 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: here on the show. I'd a younger brother who goes 336 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: to Comic Con probably once every five years, so I 337 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: try not to own that or bring that up. So 338 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: I have no choice but to be very familiar with 339 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: Star Wars, although I will say as an adult, I 340 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: have resisted the last dozen movies that have come out 341 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: in the Star Wars way beyond a trilogy. At this point, 342 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: the money grabbed it is the whole Star Wars series 343 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: at this point. By the way, I'm not buying what 344 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's selling because I fully I believe he knows 345 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: exactly what he did in the back of the End 346 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: Zone based off what Chandler Jones has done via social media, 347 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: and I just don't think he wants to acknowledge that 348 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones might have gotten to him a little bit. 349 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: It might not have, but you know, at the same time, 350 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: I think it just shows this locker room, and it 351 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: shows the lightheartedness and you know the guy's the camaraderie 352 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: that exists. I think that's something that's special that you 353 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: can't you know, put a price tag on. You can't 354 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, fake that. That's something that's authentic and that 355 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: back and forth and it allows people to relax and 356 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: got in play, so you know, it was funny either way. 357 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: What was the most embarrassing outfit you had to win 358 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: after losing the Bucket Challenge on Friday and you'd have 359 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: to run out pregame two hours before kick and some 360 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: sort of outfit. What was the absolute worst outfit? Well, 361 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: the worst one was the one that was when we 362 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: were in London, the documented Supergirl outfit that I had, 363 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: so I had to wear that and it was I mean, 364 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: it was the worst condition that you've ever ever seen 365 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: for this bucket challenge, like the balls going sideways and 366 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: we usually had five throws apiece. Nobody could hit the 367 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: bucket or do anything and I was the last one 368 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: to hit it because you had no chance of doing it. 369 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: So it's like the British Open team it legitimately was. 370 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: And then I had to do that so of course, um, 371 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: you know they documented it and had so much fun 372 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: with it. So I took it and ran with it. 373 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: But you had to know sell it. Did make sure 374 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: that they didn't let you bother you. Oh yeah, no, 375 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean I went out there and did a full jog. 376 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: I mean I did every single warm up thing. Um, fossil, 377 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: who's the special teams according who's a really good one? Um? 378 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: For the rams of the time, I running next to 379 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: him when he's like, please get away from that, Please 380 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: get away from me, Please get away from me. So, 381 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: but you gotta own it. You had to own it. 382 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: Or also it's worse right exactly, you gotta own it. 383 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: You can't let him know that it got to you, 384 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: much to U Kyler's point. But you know there's uh, 385 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: there's also revenge to be had because it's a long season. 386 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 1: Well we'll see what happens, though Chandler Jones earlier on Monday, 387 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: he kept pushing this baby Yoda nickname. We'll see if 388 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: it sticks. The head coach, Cliff Kingsbury on Monday asked 389 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: for his reaction to Kyler Murray's celebration. Pretty heartbroken that 390 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: Kyler's never seen Star Wars because from about age four 391 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: to nine, I wanted nothing more in life than to 392 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: be Luke Skywalker. So I think he could learn some 393 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: from from that trilogy, if you will. Yes, Cliff Kingsbury 394 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: very well aware of what Star Wars is, and let's 395 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: hope that maybe we've got Luke Skywalker under center for 396 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. I asked him on his TV show 397 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: about that. I said, you're a little offended. He said 398 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: a little bit, Yeah, a little bit that he had 399 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: done day Pash, Come on, you should have known on 400 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: the call. I mean, Dave is a huge Star Wars guy, 401 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: So you know, Dave's playing like he didn't know, and 402 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: he's saying some sort of meditation poet. Of course, not, 403 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: of course, not all right, let's get into Kyla Murray. 404 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: Here are his numbers from Sunday twenty nine to thirty 405 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: six for four hundred yards through the air, three touchdowns, 406 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: two picks, five carries thirty one yards and a touchdown drew. 407 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: He's accounted for nine total touchdowns this season, seven passing, 408 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: two rushing. That is tied for the most in the 409 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: league with some guy by the name of Tom Brady. 410 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: So some good company for Kyler Murray. Yeah, and you 411 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: look at the way that he's doing it. That's what's 412 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: most impressive. He's distributing the ball across the board. Aj 413 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: Green got in the end zone, Rondel mooregot in the 414 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: end zone. He's doing a little bit of that in 415 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: the red zone, you know, scrambling getting in the end 416 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: zone with two touchdowns on the ground by himself, but 417 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: being able to distribute the ball to everybody. I mean, 418 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: it's well documented. He is just lightening into a bottle. 419 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: And you can do it so many different ways that 420 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: it's really harder defense in the red zone because you 421 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: don't know who to stop, where do you go, and 422 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: how do you do these things to really try and 423 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: stop them, And like he said, most of the time 424 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: is them just shooting themselves in the foot. The Cardinals 425 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: are seven of nine in the red zone so far 426 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: in two games. Think about that. You win a lot 427 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: of games when you have that sort of efficiency in 428 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: the red zone, right. Oh, that's what it comes down to, 429 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 1: and we talked about it every single game in situational football. 430 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: When you can be good in the red zone and 431 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: you're scoring touchdowns as opposed to kicking field goals, that's 432 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: going to put you in a position to win most 433 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: games at the very end, and they did that, and 434 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: they can outlast teams. They can go you know, mono 435 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: imano against anybody because they have the ability, the versatility 436 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: they've been talking about for a long time with the 437 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: run game, with the ability that they have a wide receiver, 438 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: because you can't you can't zone in on one guy. Yes, 439 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: you want to stop it DeAndre Hopkins because he's as 440 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: good as it gets in this league. But when you 441 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: have other guys that are making plays. Christian Kirk showed 442 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: up huge. I mean that to me right, there was 443 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: one of again in cover zero. They tried to pressure him, 444 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: they didn't make an adjustment offensive line wise, and he 445 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: had two guys coming right up the A gap and 446 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: Kyler did an amazing job of just drifting and buying 447 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: time and just flipping his hips and being able to 448 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: flip that ball down the field thirty five yards I 449 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: think it was, and Christian made an unbelievable play. I mean, 450 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: if they don't make that play, who knows what happens. 451 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: Year three for Kyle the Murray, things are definitely slowing down, 452 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: something Kingsbury has been asked about and basically acknowledged as 453 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: much earlier this week. He's getting into some really good 454 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: plays and matchups, and I think the game's really slowed 455 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: down for him in year three. He's understanding what we're 456 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: trying to do, and he's got a great group of 457 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: receivers and running backs and on line out there that's 458 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: helping him. You know, we talked in the off season, 459 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: could Kyler emulate what just happened last season with Baker 460 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: Mayfield and Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Kyler was Rookie 461 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: of the Year, he was a Pro Bowler in the 462 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: year two, But all three of those guys you just 463 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: named in year three got playoff wins. They were winning quarterbacks. 464 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: You're very familiar with Baker Mayfield obviously from your Browns days. 465 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: What is it about year three perhaps that you see 466 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks as talents are as many stats as they 467 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: may have put up, but there's just that next step 468 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: in the revolution. Well, I think it's a year long process, 469 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: really is, because when you're a rookie and you start 470 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: as a high draft pick, you get to play, and 471 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: then you go into an off season it's like, well, 472 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: what's my routine? How do I get through this with this? 473 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: And so you're kind of tweaking and adjusting things throughout 474 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: the course of that first offseason, you go through an 475 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: entire season again, now you head into off season, Okay, 476 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: what do I need to do to be prepared to play? 477 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: And so you can kind of sit back and you 478 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: can kind of be more strategic on how you go 479 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: about things. Okay, when do I start training, when do 480 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: I start throwing, when do I start watching film and 481 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: all of these things, so by the time it comes 482 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: around and really keep in that continuity for Kyler across 483 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: the board is huge. He's in the same system, He's 484 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: being able to do all these same things. So the 485 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: comfort level is just allowing him to do it. And 486 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: they were on the CUSP last year. They were very 487 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: close and so being able to stay out of harm's 488 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: way for Kyler being able to again find those checkdowns, 489 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: be able to let other guys be athletes as much 490 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: as possible, but when the time comes, also being able 491 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: to make plays with his feet and do it throughout 492 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: the course of the season is what's going to allow 493 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: them to get into January and really a weak some 494 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,959 Speaker 1: havocate come playoff time. There was a dramatic improvement from 495 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: year one to year two. We're expecting another improvement from 496 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray here in year three. Max Williams on what 497 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: he has seen different from Kyler Murray last year to 498 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray this year. It's his confidence this year. I mean, 499 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: I think everyone's been saying it since we got into camp. 500 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean, K one is just he's a different guy 501 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: this year, and he's really took over the offense, really 502 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: took over the team, taking accountability. He's being the guy 503 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: that we need him to be to make those next steps. 504 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: And I think it's shown the first two weeks. Well, 505 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: we're also see Drew Is Kyler Murray doing what seems 506 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: near impossible, the off schedule throws, the throwing on the 507 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: run and throwing across his body throws. It are not 508 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: typical of a quarterback. Yet this has now become routine, 509 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: especially in the past two weeks, what he is doing. 510 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: And then as Paul mentioned earlier, just basically turning your 511 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: back to the defense to kind of buy more time. 512 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: How difficult is what Kyler Murray is doing, because I 513 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: do think sometimes we take a little bit for granted 514 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: on just based off his athleticism. Yeah, it just becomes 515 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: normal right. When you see him do these things and 516 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: he turns his back and flips his hips and doesn't 517 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: most guys quarterbacks are very comfortable escaping to the right, 518 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: you know, most guys will try it and set up 519 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: rush lands or blitz try bringing your face that you 520 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: can't escape right. Well was documented and seeing last Sunday 521 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: Kyler escaped to his leaps very quickly, in a matter 522 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: of milliseconds, was able to deliver a ball completely accurate 523 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: to Rondel Moore. So when you can do that, when 524 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: you can create and do that on top of them 525 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: scrambling for those yards, it's just it's so hard for 526 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: a defense to try and defend every single portion of 527 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 1: the field because he can do that each and every week. 528 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: You know what else is accurate when Maxi Williams says 529 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: it's his team, and whether that's because Lara Fitzgerald is 530 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: no longer around, whether it's just year three and the 531 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: comfort level with everybody else the way he's been tasked 532 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: with leading this organization. But you see it. I saw 533 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: it on the sidelines in Tennessee week one. It was 534 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: audible and I can name names because Kyler did later. 535 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: It was d hop and it was Rondelle Moore, and 536 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: he held those guys accountable and everyone heard him air 537 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 1: out those guys and they took it and they nodded, 538 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: and the position coach came over, Sean Jefferson and talked 539 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: to both those receivers and they moved on and a 540 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: little bit later Kyler came over and patted him on 541 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: the behind. This last game, it was twenty to fourteen. 542 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: Kyler scored on the rushing touchdown. He worked the whole 543 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: sideline like I've never seen before. He went up to 544 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: every single position group, up and down the bench, talking 545 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: to guys. You know, Pat's on the back, had a 546 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: little message for this guy's something there this group. So 547 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: that leadership. Whereas the first two years he would sort 548 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: of stay by himself on the bench and him and 549 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: cam you know, the quarterbacks coach, and he's sort of 550 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: in his own silo, that's not the case this year. 551 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: That is the next step for him. And that's the 552 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: perspective that you bring to the sidelines, Paul, because you're 553 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: seeing that and that's not what sometimes the cameras catch. 554 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: They catch him in the first two years sulking or 555 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: by himself. And now we're seeing Cala Murray a little 556 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: bit more open and engaging with his teammates. I think 557 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: that's big for him here in year three The Day. 558 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: Pash Podcast Episode eight's available now with special guests Scott 559 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: Hanson from NFL Red Zone.

Oh, we'll give you some more 566 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: about Rondel Moore. That's all straight ahead here on the 567 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Got to throw Murray in trouble, 568 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: spins out of there to his left, being chased by 569 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: two Vikings, and launches it deep wide open near side 570 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: of the forties. Rondel More coop at the thirty hat 571 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: the twenty at the fifteen ten five cutdown, Kyler Murray, 572 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: you are ridiculous. Murray matchick seventy seven yard touchdown pass. 573 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: Ninety nine point nine percent of the quarterbacks on the 574 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: planet gets sacked. But not only does Kyler Murray not 575 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: get sacked, he throws a touchdown. Nasty esus. Nasty does 576 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: and we all know that Kyler Murray is nasty. The 577 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: stuff you see in dreams and in video games, but 578 00:26:54,119 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: not in the NFL. Whoa seventies seven yards the first 579 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: career touchdown catch in the pro career of rondel Moore, 580 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 1: and that made a twenty one twenty the Cardinals first 581 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: lead on Sunday. They would go on to beat the 582 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: Vikings thirty four thirty three. As we welcome you back 583 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: here to the Cardinals Red Sea report Craig rail and 584 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: Drew Stanton and Paul CALVISI. Now watching that highlights, you 585 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: would see Christian Kirk escorting rondel Moore down the field 586 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: with a good block on the inside. And what you 587 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: missed was on the sideline Paul Calvisi trying to run 588 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: step for step with rondel Moore into the end zone. No, 589 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have a coaching intern with the quarterbacks. He's 590 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: young guy with good legs. He tried to keep up 591 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: and he lost miserably. So I don't even attempt that 592 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: sort of stuff. Believe me, I can't even get through 593 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: a youth baseball practice about pulling my quad. But it 594 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,479 Speaker 1: was something I mean, every time I see him, it's 595 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: just like he gone. I mean, just the speed, And 596 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: when you can separate on an NFL field, that's when 597 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: you know you're elite. When those kind of guys are 598 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: that impressive athletically physically on an NFL field, that's when 599 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: you know he's the exception and that sort of speed. 600 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: Did you see the body language of the Minnesota dbs 601 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: after that? They were so frustrated they were barking at 602 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: each other. That was you know, that was me? Whose guy? 603 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: Was that? What? He should have been sacked? He wasn't 604 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: sack as Kyler Murray got away and then got the 605 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: pass off. He's keeping his eyes down field. That was 606 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: a moment. It was a turning point in the game, 607 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: not just on the scoreboard, but down on the field 608 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: because the Vikings defensive guys start barking at each other. 609 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: We always hear Drew that speed kills, but speed does 610 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: nothing if you don't catch the football first. And I 611 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: think that was the biggest thing in Rondell Moore even 612 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: brought it up post game on Sundays, like I hope, 613 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: I just don't drop it. I mean, you're so wide open. 614 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: Those are the more difficult catches and that you have 615 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: to make sometimes. Oh yeah, it seems like the balls 616 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: in there for an eternity. But I think to Paul's 617 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: point two is you're starting to get used to seeing 618 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: Rondell make the first guy miss. He's turning all of 619 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: this into a punt return, and he has that kind 620 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: of escapability. And this is not like a going against 621 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: high school team, like you're going against a really good 622 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: talent in the NFL. And he's showing that he can 623 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: do that on a consistent basis, you know. And again 624 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: it's the beauty of having a guy like that that 625 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: can just find ways to get in the ball in 626 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: his hands, get creative, look what he did at Pittsburgh. 627 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: But also Cliff's got a great repertoire that he can 628 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: go to of Okay, you all of a sudden use 629 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: him as a checkdown and you get him one on 630 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: one in space with a linebacker or something like that 631 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: in his own defense. Every single time you'll take that matchup. 632 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: So here's your Week two update. NFL leaders all purpose 633 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: yards Number one Christian McCaffrey number two, Derrick Henry number three, 634 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel number four, Tyler Lockett number five, Rondale Moore 635 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: all purpose yards. That's not rookies, that's the NFL. He's 636 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: already top five, And I think they're just scratching the 637 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: surface and trying to figure out how to use him, 638 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: how to deploy him. And you know what, if these 639 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: teams are gonna use some of the same looks they 640 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: tried a year ago with the two high safeties, and 641 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: you go with the mush rush and some of the 642 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: other things, and you're gonna go someone extra over the top, 643 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: over d hop, which they did the last three quarters 644 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: of the game, then guess what. They now have a 645 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: weapon to make those defenses pay when they over commit. Well, 646 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: rondel Moore leads the NFL in yards after catch, and 647 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: amongst rookie receivers, he's number one in receiving yards. So yeah, 648 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: small sample size, but through two games, a lot to 649 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: like with Rondel Rondel Moore. Remember a day to draft 650 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: pick Kyler Murray talking about when he first noticed rondel Moore. 651 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: You know, back during before the draft, I sent I 652 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: sent Steve a video that was going on Instagram of 653 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: his one on ones in college. I knew I knew 654 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: nothing about the kid. I knew nothing about him. Um 655 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: you know from that video just there was a couple 656 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: of one on ones, you know, and I just knew 657 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: he knew what he was doing as far as route running, 658 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: how to set guys up, you know, his his field, 659 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: his ability that you could see it. So um yeah, 660 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: I expected from Rondell. My most impressive play from Rondel Moore, 661 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: though Sunday drew, was his ability to have the presence 662 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: of mind to be look at the clock, realized okay, 663 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: and now I need to get out of bound. But 664 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: that catch that he made right before the end of 665 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: the first half, setting up Matt Prader for the sixty 666 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: two yard or I went back, he caught that ball 667 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: was six seconds to go, made two different Viking defenders. 668 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: Miss I'm sitting there going get out of bounds, get 669 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: out of bounds, and there was another move and then 670 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: he gets out as the clock goes from two to one. 671 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: Wellwing for one final snap of the football. Yeah. I mean, 672 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: that's a difference in the game, Like we talked about before, 673 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: is being able to get those points before half, but 674 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: having a rookie wide receiver that has the wherewithal to 675 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: look up at the clock and see that you don't 676 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: see that from veteran guys, you know, And to be 677 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: able to do that and then turn that into points. 678 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: It's just a tremendous job. But again, being around him, 679 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: hearing him talk, the way he carries himself as a 680 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: young guy, he's light years that's a Star Wars reference 681 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: for you, far ahead of where he probably could and 682 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: should be. But there is a concerted effort for Steve 683 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: Kim and everybody else through this draft class to go 684 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: out and get guys like that. They're gonna be way 685 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: ahead the professionalism that exists, because that's what's going to 686 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: help you come playoff time to be able to get 687 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: over the hump. If you go upstairs to Craig Griel's desk, 688 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: he has a lightsaber just to let you know. On 689 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: the desk, just to let you know. On that one 690 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: door open front one Drew thanks, you know. Twenty eighteen, 691 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: he was a consensus All American as a true freshman. 692 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: And there are only two other guys who have done 693 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: that in college football history, and one was named Herschel Walker. 694 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: And I think the other one was Adrian Peterson. I 695 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: got to double check my factoid on that, but it's ridiculous. 696 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: So the fact that he ended up on day two, 697 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: as you mentioned Craig, was just a byproduct of the 698 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: fact twenty nineteen, twenty and twenty he didn't play his 699 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,959 Speaker 1: injured It was the pandemic produed didn't play a lot 700 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: of games. Cliff Kingsbury said that this week, if he 701 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: would have had anywhere near the same sort of seasons 702 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: the last two years of college he did his first year, 703 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: there's no way he gets out of round one, not 704 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: even close. And what I like too is the pre 705 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: snap motion. This was staggering to me in the offseason 706 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: when we realized Drew that the Erizina Cardinals were dead 707 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,479 Speaker 1: last a year ago in pre snap motion. I never 708 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: would have figured that in a Cliff Kingsbury offense. Now 709 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: was that because he didn't have the guy and now 710 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: he has the guy. All you know is I saw 711 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and you finished last year with the Buccaneers. 712 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: I saw Tom Brady say recently he's really a proponent 713 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: on board with pre snap motion now more than ever 714 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: because it really helps him sort of decipher a defense. 715 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: Because now he figures out, all right, are they in zone? 716 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: And man, it's that much easier. So he's actually come 717 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: to embrace pre snap motion a lot more than needed 718 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: earlier in his career. Tom Brady, and I'm curious if 719 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: you think that helps Kyler Murray in the same way. 720 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: I think I can definitely help. And we talked about 721 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: it last week on this show that sometimes it puts 722 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: a lot of stress on the offensive line. So being 723 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: able to have a guy like Rodney Hudson that can 724 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: change protection, redirect them, Mike and do that because by 725 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: sending the motion or doing different things, you can change 726 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: strength and formation. To Tom Brady's point, yes, they do 727 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,479 Speaker 1: a lot of different stuff of displacing the back so 728 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: they can get a man zone read, be able to 729 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: get a better feel for what's going on. But when 730 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: you have a guy like Rondel Moore that can send 731 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: an a motion and then again he's your outlet, he's 732 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: your safety valve that you can throw the ball too 733 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: and get it in space. I mean, the kid has 734 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: so much potential to continue to do this on a 735 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: weekly basis. And actually his college quarterback at Purdue, David 736 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: blow I played with him in Cleveland and just said, 737 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: this kid is going to be special. And unfortunately this 738 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: league is trying to look at reasons why they don't 739 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: draft kids, and you go to the combine and a 740 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: lot of combine is okay, give me a reason not 741 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: to draft this kid. He's short, okay. So as that 742 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: in a turrent to what's going on, because his ability 743 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: and what he does and is able to do one 744 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: a football field is so unique and so rare that 745 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,919 Speaker 1: his talent is gonna, you know, far outlast the fact 746 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: that he's a little bit shorter. Excited about what Rondel 747 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: Moore can do this season and this week it's a 748 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: big week Cardinals at the Jaguars, and of course this Wednesday, 749 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: Episode two of Cardinals Folk Tales, the ninth The Goalposts 750 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: vanished nineteen ninety seven. Paul, you were there the Cardinals 751 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys in week two. The goalposts come down 752 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: and outside Sundevil Stadium and they go sort of like 753 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: Rondale Moore there he goes, well, wait a minute, there 754 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 1: the goalposts. That was nineteen ninety seven, after an epic 755 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 1: historic win against the Cowboys, which when I say historic, 756 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: the two franchises have never been the same since they 757 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: really haven't, and the Cardinals have dominated the Cowboys, and 758 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: we got a good sense of just the magnitude of 759 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: the moment, and it's gonna be an unbelievable folk tales 760 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: and everybody was on board with that thing going down 761 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: Mill Avenue. And we'll go down memory lane with the 762 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: Goalposts premieres Wednesday and the Cardinals YouTube channel. This is 763 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Short pass at a laptop 764 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: by More at the forty and again, instead of running 765 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: out of bounds, turns up field. He's at midfield in 766 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: the Viking territory, steps out of bounds with a second 767 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,919 Speaker 1: leapt at the forty three yard line. There is no 768 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: way Rondal Mohore did what he just did right there, 769 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: make three vikings miss and got out of bounds with 770 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: an incredible play by Ron Dale More. This will be 771 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: a sixth two yard attempts snap ball is down. Prators 772 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: kick is absolutely crushed and it's god A sixty two 773 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 1: yarder at the gun by Prator and the Carckles take 774 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: the lead twenty four twenty three into the locker room. 775 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. One a kick from bat Prator, the 776 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: kicker with taps Wolf just fascinated by Matt Prater's ink. Job. 777 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: Might be a interview, Get those two to sit down 778 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: and have a discussion. It was a great moment on 779 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: the sideline. So he kneels the sixty two yarder. They 780 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: come out for the second half, there's that downtime before kickoff. 781 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: Cardinals are going to be getting the ball, so he's 782 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: not doing much of anything and somebody mentions, hey, Matt, 783 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: by the way, that was an all time Cardinals records 784 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: team record, and he just sort of nodded. Zero reaction. 785 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: I mean, he is a stone faced killer on the sideline. 786 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,439 Speaker 1: Just a lack of reaction. And then you think about it, Well, 787 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: that's because he holds the team record for three different franchises, 788 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,280 Speaker 1: and he holds the NFL record, so he had another 789 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,720 Speaker 1: team record. Is nothing for this guy. Sixty four yards 790 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: with the Broncos, sixty two yards with the Cardinals, and 791 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: twice fifty nine yards with the Lions. Those the franchises 792 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: that Matt Prator has the record for longest field goal 793 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: in team history. He did carush it probably would have 794 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: been good from maybe sixty eight and goes to seventy. 795 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: In baseball, they say that he knuked that thing right, 796 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: that was a tank. I mean, no doubt it was 797 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: also a good performance. In addition to Prator about Christian Kirk, 798 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: he only had three catches, but when he is catching 799 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: footballs Drew is something that I think gets lost because 800 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,399 Speaker 1: it's completions on third down, completions on fourth down. We've 801 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: seen it now twice in two weeks. Kyler Murray back 802 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: pedaling off his back foot, lofts it up in the 803 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: air and into the arms of Christian Kirk for a 804 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: huge completion. Cardinals, though Sunday unable to capitalize on that 805 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: first and goal from the sixth. But it say contract 806 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: year for Christian Kirk, But he's making the most of 807 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 1: his opportunities. Yeah, and it's just about staying healthy for him. 808 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he being a guy is as talented as 809 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: he is and a local guy that he has the 810 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: ability to break games wide open for you too, and 811 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: just getting him on the field. What's most impressive those 812 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: the fact that these players are coming later in the game. 813 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: You know, most guys, most wide receivers, they want to 814 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: get involved early, and when they're not involved early, they 815 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: have a tendency to kind of check out mentally or 816 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: do different stuff. That's why when you have an opening script, 817 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: you want to try and get the ball in everybody's hands, 818 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: get them into the flow of the game. I mean, 819 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: we used to do that all the time with Larry 820 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: of Okay, here's our completions to Larry, here's our completions 821 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 1: to be able to get David Johnson in the flow 822 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: of the game and the runs all of these things, 823 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,280 Speaker 1: because you want people to get into it, and so 824 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: to be able to do this in the latter part 825 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: of the game is even more impressive because it lets 826 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: you know his mentality is staying focused on the task 827 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: at hand, and he's dialed into the signals of what's 828 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: going on, and he just flat out just straight up 829 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: ran by the guy on a cover zero blitz on 830 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 1: a crucial fourth and five, as we talked about before, 831 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: and that's really difficult to have a comfort level of 832 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback because you have to have so much trust 833 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: and you've got to release that ball so early. But 834 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: Kyler has that ability to trust in Christian Kirk. And 835 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: that's what we heard in the all season was you 836 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: get him in the slot, you get him back to 837 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 1: where he's familiar with that's where he excels, he told 838 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: us in the big Red Rage, that's where he has 839 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: the most confidence, being inside like that, that's where he 840 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 1: goes back to the college days with Kyler at Texas 841 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: A and M. So you can see that chemistry, that connection. 842 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: But to your point about getting guys involved early, d 843 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: Hop obviously at a very productive first quarter, four catches, 844 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: he had a touchdown and then they devoted extra tension 845 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: to d Hop and they effectively took him out. And 846 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: I loved your point during the break there, Drew that 847 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: you know what, the Cardinals a year ago maybe don't 848 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 1: win that game without a big game from d Hop, Right, Yeah, 849 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna be a telltale as we move 850 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: forward throughout the course of the season. He's gonna get 851 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: a lot of attention. So these other guys being able 852 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,479 Speaker 1: to step up, Rondel Moore even, you know, like I said, 853 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,879 Speaker 1: getting aj Green involved in some way, shape or form. 854 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: But you're still gonna have to find ways to get creative, 855 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: get the ball in the under Hopkins hands because all 856 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: those catches coming too early on when the game's in 857 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: the balance, like we saw last year, you don't want 858 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: to have to rely on a hail marriage to get 859 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: him to catch the ball over three guys. So you're 860 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to get kind of a little bit strategic 861 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: and get prepared for that because teams are going to 862 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: try and take away certain assets. And Jalen Ramsey's coming 863 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: up in week four and then Jalen Ramsey again, and 864 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: remember what he did against the hop last year and 865 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: both those Rams wins and everybody now they're O and 866 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: eight against Sean McVeigh. Yeah, we don't need to get 867 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 1: into that just yet. Kyler, though, completing passes to six 868 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: different receivers on Sunday, all six with at least three catches, 869 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: and we talked about Christian Kirk on the receiving end 870 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: with three of those passes from Kyle the Murray. Here's 871 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: head coach Cliff Kingsbury on what he's seen out of 872 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk so far this year. I just think he 873 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: feels healthy and he feels confident. We've been able to 874 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: play more inside, which is where I've always felt like 875 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: he excelled, even when he was at texts A and M. 876 00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: He just looks really confident playing inside. The last receiver 877 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: we want to touch on here is the tight end 878 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: Max Williams, a career day for him against his hometown team. 879 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: Seven catches ninety four yards, and we often hear it 880 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: drew the tight end a quarterback's best friend, and I 881 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: think Max Williams might be becoming that for Kyler Murray. Well, 882 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: anytime you can get up the hash and be able 883 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: to have guys like that and stretch the field vertically 884 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: for you on that portion of the field, it's critical. 885 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,399 Speaker 1: I mean, he went from not having a catch last 886 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: week against Tennessee because it wasn't as needed to go 887 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: in out and having a career day, So again the 888 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: versatility of this offense being able to do that. He 889 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: is a true throwback tight end that can stick his 890 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: hand in the dirt, be able to block and do 891 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,439 Speaker 1: some stuff. But that security blanket again to be able 892 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 1: to find matchups across the field. It just opens up 893 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: so many more things when you have a tight end 894 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: you can rely on. Is that what's been missing from 895 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: this offense? You think, well, I think there's a couple things, 896 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: and all of these pieces are kind of getting put 897 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: into place. Yes, Max Williams is a part of it. 898 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: Rondel Moore is a part of it. Aj Green's a 899 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: part of it because now Christian Kirkins slide back into 900 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: the slot and do all these things. Christian can go 901 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: back to his natural position. And again, it takes a 902 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: while to go through a massive transition like they did 903 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: with a Cliff Kingsbury style of offense to be able 904 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: to get the personnel to fit that. And you have 905 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: all these pieces in place, and when you have a 906 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: quarterback plan at the elite level, like Kyler is on 907 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: top of all of these weapons at his disposal, Like 908 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: he said in the preseason, if we can't have success, 909 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 1: if I can't have success with all of these weapons, 910 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm not doing my job. And he's taken that step 911 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: in a leadership role, and now we're seeing it because 912 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: guys like Max Williams can go out there and have 913 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: a monster day when nobody would have even thought about it. 914 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: And he's probably on everybody's fantasy pickup Wira Wire now 915 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: because remember, yeah, you're in the second X in Max. 916 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: That's what he did. Yeah, he was that X factor 917 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,760 Speaker 1: in a way, and I think it is much needed. 918 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: Your point, Craig, would we talk about the second half 919 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: of last season when they lost five out of seven 920 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: adjust to the adjustment and guess what they saw it 921 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,720 Speaker 1: in week two. They saw the two high safeties, extra 922 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: help over the top onde hop in the last three 923 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,919 Speaker 1: quarters the return of the mush rush at times, and 924 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: so now all of a sudden, if you have that 925 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: tight end keeping them honest down the seam, seemingly, I'll 926 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: leave the axs and oze up to you, Drew. But 927 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 1: that's the Cardinals have to have an answer to that, 928 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,439 Speaker 1: and if in the failure of any other game plan, 929 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: I think they can expect to continue to see that 930 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: from Jacksonville and other opponents. That seemingly is the answer 931 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: from opponents as to how to defend Kyler is to 932 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: make him. Now we ask Cliff Kingsbury about that on 933 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: his TV show this week, The Whole Mushrush, and his 934 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: response was a little bit well but snarky said, you 935 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: know what, I hope they do that because then it 936 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 1: gives Kyler more time to throw and there's more weapons 937 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,800 Speaker 1: for him to find this year than ever. Yeah. Well, again, 938 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: that middle portion of the the field, when you can have 939 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: a guy stretched up vertically or being able to create 940 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,919 Speaker 1: those high lows with Rondel Moore or with Christian Kirk 941 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: and having a tight end that can do that, It 942 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,760 Speaker 1: just plays into everybody's hands so much better because then, okay, 943 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: with the availability of analytics, right, everybody's breaking down everybody 944 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: and that the numbers are readily available. Where do they throw? 945 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: What do we do? How can we stop this guy? 946 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: And to Cliff's point and your point, the middle of 947 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,720 Speaker 1: the field, usually with a shorter type of a quarterback, 948 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: it's hard to see that. So being able to have 949 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: not just one guy a slot receiver, you feel good 950 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,720 Speaker 1: about having a tight end that can then create those matchups. 951 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,879 Speaker 1: Where do you go and when you try and put 952 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 1: more of a considered effort there, that opens up those 953 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 1: one on ones on the outside with not only DeAndre 954 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: Hopkins but aj Green. Analytics not needed for us to 955 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 1: know that the Cardinals are a better team than the Jaguars, 956 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: at least on paper. But this strew is a dangerous 957 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: game because of what the Jaguars are and what they 958 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: have not done so far this season. Yeah, I mean, 959 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: you got to show up and play each and every Sunday. 960 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: Those East Coast road trips are difficult, especially for teams 961 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 1: on the West Coast, but so early in the season 962 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 1: and everybody's real and there's so much hype around Trevor 963 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 1: Lawrence and what's going on and the ability to do that. 964 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 1: But you have to show up and play, and you 965 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: can't tiptoe into this one. You've got to go out 966 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 1: and again, if you can go right off the bat, 967 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 1: punch them in the mouth like in Tennessee, and jump 968 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,320 Speaker 1: on a team like this early, that's when doubt creeps 969 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,720 Speaker 1: in and you can start rolling. Jacksonville's lost seventeen straight 970 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 1: and they've allowed at least twenty three points in every 971 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: one of those seventeen straight losses. Sixty three percent humidity, 972 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: by the way, in Jacksonville.
