1 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: So what's the plan. How do the Cardinals cover losing 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: one and maybe two at least for this week. Cornerbacks, 3 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: it's a position group that's already been hit hard due 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: to injury, though it does sound like the team avoided 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: a worst case scenario. Got Danny surrec with you Bird Gang. 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: We break it all down. Also, we talk run game 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: and explain why the NFC West is the best division 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: in football. Through Week two. It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode nine, 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: and it starts now. 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 2: Welcome to Cardinals Cover two. 11 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: Food to Baker, what Heart?

But it's your podcast, Craig. 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 3: It's your world. I'm just living in it. Oh, don't 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: clip that, Cody. What a horrible start to this podcast. 27 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 3: That's going to be used many places. 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Okay, clarification, not my podcast. It is Darren Urban's NFL 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: kickoff pregame show. 30 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: So let's we learned that in his mailbag he took 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: credit for the show. All three of us are on. 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: How about that? 33 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, and he's not here. 34 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 3: He's here speak freely. 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. He owned up to it as well on Sunday 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: and the home opener. All right, some positivity here. NFL 37 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: research since nineteen ninety teams that start two to and 38 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: oh make the playoffs more than sixty four percent of 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: the time start three and oh, that number jumps to 40 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: seventy five percent. 41 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: I don't like to do math, but I do like 42 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: those numbers, Craig. Last time the Cardinals started two and 43 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: oh was twenty twenty one, a year they went to 44 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 3: the playoffs. Someone is gonna have their first loss of 45 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: the season this Sunday in San Francisco. It's the forty 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: nine Ers home opener that is already a tough place 47 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: to play at Levi Stadium, and the fact that it's 48 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: gonna be the first time for the forty nine Ers 49 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: fans to see their team at home. It's gonna be 50 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 3: a tough task for this Cardinals team. 51 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, forty nine Ers. With two games on the road 52 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: to open the season. Sunday's matchup one of two games 53 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: between two teams the others the other one is Rams 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: at Eagles. Maybe we can get the Eagles to help 55 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: out the Rams a little bit. 56 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: Craig, I'm not a Cowboys homer, but you're gonna be 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: pressed to find me to cheer for the Eagles on 58 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: a podcast. 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: Sorry, I forgot who I was talking by. Any means 60 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: a tie, would you be? Okay? Okay? Maybe a tie 61 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday? All right, so we started with the good news. 62 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's all bad news on Wednesday. Personally, 63 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: I was bracing for the worst considering what we saw 64 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Max Melton goes down early in the game, 65 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: has to have help coming off the field, gets carted 66 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: to the locker room. Yet on Wednesday he was out 67 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: at practice during the open portion and Danny. You couldn't 68 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: tell at all whether he was hurt or not, because 69 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: he looked to be doing everything, moving around well, going 70 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: side to side, nothing on the knee whatsoever. So again, 71 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: not worst case scenario. We'll get to everyone else in 72 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: a minute, but just to see sixteen on the practice 73 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: field first and foremost. 74 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: To me was a shock looking at the status of 75 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: that cornerback's room. Not to mention, you started the season 76 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: without two of your starters and Sean Murphy, Bunting and 77 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: Star Thomas. To see Melton out there after he wasn't 78 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: able to play most of the game after getting hurt 79 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: is a great sign. When head coach Jonathan Gannon walked 80 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: into do his press conference Wednesday, you could almost feel 81 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 3: like there was no air to even be deflated. I 82 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: think everybody was expecting the worst of all the players 83 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: who got banged up, but when Gannon said that Melton 84 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 3: would be out at practice Wednesday, it was kind of 85 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: like some air was pumped back into the room. Everyone 86 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 3: had a little more light in their eyes. 87 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: You set low expectations and all of a sudden, oh, okay, 88 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: let's go. I feel much better about where things might 89 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: be going now. On the other side of the equation, 90 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: Garrett Williams did land on IR with that knee issue 91 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: that he suffered on the collision. It looks like they 92 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,119 Speaker 1: collided between he and Buddha Baker and the end zone. 93 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: Potential according to JG, that Garrett does return. LJ. Collier 94 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: landing on IR with a knee issue that popped up 95 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: early in the game on Sunday, potential for him to 96 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: return as well. And then you've got Will Johnson, who 97 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: was not out at practice during the open portion dealing 98 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: with a growing injury. Told reporters post practice he feels 99 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: a lot better, taking it day by day. If Will plays, 100 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: excuse me, if We'll practices on Thursday, then I'm optimistic 101 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: that there's a potential of him playing this week, certainly 102 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: the short week against Seattle. If we don't see Will 103 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: at practice on Thursday, based off his status as a 104 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: rookie hasn't been in the league. You missed Wednesday and Thursday, 105 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: chances are you're not going to play that Sunday. So 106 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: a Thursday becomes a big day in terms of Will 107 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: Johnson's status. At least, how I see. 108 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: It, something to keep our eyes on. If the Cardinals 109 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: are able to have Melton and Johnson out as their 110 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: starting cornerbacks, you are feeling a lot more confident. We're 111 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: you know, thinking about the worst case scenario of not 112 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: having either of them, not having either them possibly for 113 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: the rest of the season, based on how a lot 114 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: of us were thinking that was going to go after 115 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: that game Sunday against Carolina ended. It is It is 116 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: a It feels like an understatement to say it's a 117 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 3: tough blow to not have Garrett Williams, who has become 118 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: a reliable asset to this defense, and not just how 119 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: this season has started and how he's been as a 120 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: Cardinal overall. He means so much to this defense and 121 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: even was moving outside quite a bit from the slot 122 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 3: after not having smb or Thomas out there. This defense 123 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: relied heavily on Williams, so to not have him for 124 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: at least a foreseeable future being on ir that's tough. 125 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 3: If you can have Melton and Johnson, two players who 126 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: have gotten a lot of reps. Melton has been a 127 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 3: starter for this defense, that sets you up very nicely. 128 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: The Cardinals are still going to have to rely on 129 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: their depths, seemingly in that cornerbacks room, so you're not 130 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: gonna have to start getting some more looks at Denzel Burke, 131 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: who saw his first defensive snaps as a rookie Sunday 132 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 3: against the Panthers. Looked pretty good, played some clean football. 133 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: What do you have innekeitro Clark, who a couple of 134 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: years ago was the starter until Thomas came in and 135 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 3: earned that role. Cardinal's cornerback's depth is seemingly going to 136 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: get tested early on this season. 137 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: The other name is Elijah Jones. JG was asked about 138 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: him and said he's ready, meaning he's ready to play 139 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: if called upon. The question is well Elijah be called upon? 140 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: This week? The team did sign Darren Hall off the 141 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: practice squad to the active roster, although during the open 142 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: portion of practice Darren Hall was working with the safeties 143 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: typical of what we see out of Garrett Williams. So 144 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: as you kind of dissects what all of this means 145 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: for them this week and maybe moving forward, what do 146 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: you do Max Melton, Okay, he's on the field, will 147 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: not quite sure. Denzel Burke? Does he become your other 148 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: outside corner? Does Jalen Thompson assume Garrett Williams's role and 149 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: Rabbit plays more alongside Buddha Baker or is Darren Hall 150 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden entering the mix if you 151 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: want to still maintain that six dB. Look when you. 152 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 3: Say Thompson take over that role, it's in the slot, correct, right, 153 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 3: not outside. They have that flexibility, and this defense likes 154 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 3: to have nickel and dime packages. I'm not sure how 155 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 3: much we're gonna see in dime now that you're not 156 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: gonna have Williams and you're possibly not gonna have Johnson 157 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: out as one of your starting outside cornerbacks, We'll see 158 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: adjustments are going to have to be made. But yeah, 159 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 3: this defense is definitely getting tested early on. What will 160 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 3: help those cornerbacks and the safeties of those DB's back 161 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: in the secondary is if the Cardinals can get home 162 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: on some of the pressures that that front seven is 163 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 3: creating a little bit more. 164 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: We hear rush, coverage, coverage, rush, They work together, and 165 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: if you are down one starting corner if you're down 166 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: two starting cornerbacks this week, then yes, all of a sudden, 167 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: the responsibility most definitely falls upon that front seven, and 168 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: we did see a lot more pressure generated by those 169 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: guys up front on Sunday, Next Gen Stats had the 170 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals with twenty one pressures, third most in a game 171 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: under JG, and the overall pressure rate jumped to thirty 172 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: five point six percent from twenty eight point six in 173 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: Week one. To your point, Danny, though, it's okay, you've 174 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: got pressure, so you're affecting the quarterback Mac Jones or 175 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: Brock Purty. Now all of a sudden, we're hearing Kyle 176 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: Shanahan say there's a chance Purty plays this week. I'll 177 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: believe it when I see it, based off how well 178 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: Mac Jones performed last week with his three touchdown passes. 179 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: Why mess with the good thing? 180 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 3: You buy that? I take that as trying to have 181 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: some sort of competitive advantage. 182 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: Some coach beak, Hey, Cardinals, Nick rolis just. 183 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: Getting playing for Mac Jones. Don't worry about Rock Party. 184 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: His shoulder and his turf show are still really bugging him. 185 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: I just I There was also a comment that I 186 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: saw that there's a potential or the thought process that 187 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: Rock Party could be your backup, your number two quarterback, so. 188 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 3: It would be active, but Jones would play. 189 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: But at that point, if you're the starter, you get hurt. 190 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: If you're healthy, enough to be the backup. Why wouldn't 191 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: you be healthy enough to be the starter. That's a 192 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: good question that I understand. So regard we can get 193 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: more into the fortunes. But regardless of who that quarterback is, 194 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: the Cardinals need not just a pressure, but I think 195 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: maybe get a home And I know JG doesn't like Saxon. 196 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: It's not a winning stet and I get that, but 197 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: can you get home? Meaning not just affecting, but are 198 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: you recording sacks? Are you maybe knocking down the quarterback 199 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: and forcing more incompletions as opposed to more hurried throws 200 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: getting the ball out quick, still completing passes, and all 201 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: of a sudden you've got to worry about open field tackles. 202 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: But if you're forcing sacks or just in completions, whether 203 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: that's overthrows or just getting the ball away, because here 204 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: comes the pressure. I don't want to take a sack. 205 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: That is I think what we want to see a 206 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: little bit more on Sunday. 207 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: That's always the goal. Jones is not the most mobile quarterback. 208 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 3: He can use his legs a little when he needs to, 209 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: but this is very different than the first two weeks. 210 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: Defending Spencer Rattler and Bryce Young to very mobile quarterbacks, 211 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 3: so whether or not it's Jones or Purty, a little 212 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 3: more of a pocket passer. Young enough to still use 213 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: their legs when they need to, but more of a 214 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: pocket passer. So you absolutely want to get in there 215 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 3: and you want to disrupt a quarterback like that. You 216 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: don't want to give them a lot of time to 217 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: go through all of their reads when they are at accurate, 218 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 3: when they have the deep ball potential. This Cardinals defense 219 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: has done. It might not be to the level what 220 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: a lot of fans like to see, but they have 221 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: done a nice job generating pressure. We heard all offseason, 222 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: we heard at the beginning of the regular season that 223 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 3: they want more takeaways from the defense. It's exactly what 224 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 3: they did against the Panthers. Third play of the game, 225 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 3: Josh Sweat with the strip sack and Xavi and Collins 226 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 3: rolled it into the end zone for a touchdown. Shortly 227 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 3: after that, MacWilson senior on the blitz got pressure on 228 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 3: Young and it was Barren Browning with the interception. And 229 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: the secondary has done a nice job with pass breakups. 230 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 3: They had ten PBUs against the Panthers, so they are 231 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 3: absolutely on the right track. They are still disrupting the game. 232 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 3: You just need to have a few more takeaways. Again, 233 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 3: Russian coverage is a marriage, especially when you're banged up 234 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 3: in the secondary. The Cardinals can make this pressure show 235 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: up in some more sacks, some more quarterback hits, some 236 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 3: more strip sacks, force fumbles that will take their game 237 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 3: to the next level. 238 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: Glad you brought up the passes defense all Jacksonville has 239 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: more through the first two games. Cardinals with nineteen the 240 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars with twenty. Twelve different players have accounted for those 241 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: nineteen pass breakups and I stumbled upon this on Tuesday. 242 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson got credit along with Buddha Baker for that 243 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: second to last play defensively in New Orleans. Both got 244 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: credit for a pass defense. So originally it just said 245 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, but upon film review, and this happens every 246 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: week across the NFL, they saw enough in that play. 247 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: And we debated that play for a long time just 248 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Who's responsible. Well, at the end of 249 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: the day both were that's good, So good job for 250 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: j Yeah, I mean, it doesn't happen if just one 251 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: was involved in the play. JT goes hi. I think 252 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: the ball is complete, but a Baker goes low without 253 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: the knock of the football by JT at the last moment. Again, Yeah, 254 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: so that's good on that. Nick Rolis said something earlier 255 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, and this was before and maybe he knew 256 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: something that we didn't at the time, but he was asked, 257 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: based off all these injuries to the secondary, specifically the 258 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: cornerback position, how does that affect your game planning? Does 259 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: it change anything? And he said no, he was really 260 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: excited about seeing guys who step up. And Okay, maybe 261 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: in hindsight, again, if he knew something that Max was 262 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: going to be available and there's a potential of well 263 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: being available. I took it as a lot of coach 264 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: speak that you want to instill confidence in that room 265 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: with a Denzel Brook and a key Trail Clark because 266 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: you lose a number one cornerback, maybe even two cornerbacks, 267 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: and I heard Lorenzo Alexander talk about this earlier on 268 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: Arizona Sports. You lose a number one cornerback, that's almost 269 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: the equivalent on the offensive side of losing a quarterback, 270 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: because they do so much and their responsibilities are so high. 271 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: And the defensive side of the ball to where they're 272 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: a starter for a reason, in comes the backup. Well, 273 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: if they were that good, they would they would be 274 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: the starter. 275 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 3: If you have a backup cornerback, you know that QB 276 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: is going to target them and they're going to try 277 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 3: and have matchups with their number one receiver to a 278 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 3: certain extent. Look, if Rollis knew about the injury status 279 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 3: updates that the media would not know until the following day, 280 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 3: it's possible of he's under the impression he might have 281 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: Melton and Johnson out there Sunday in San Francisco, in 282 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 3: which case that would be true. He's really not having 283 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 3: to change much. Now. You're not going to have Garrett 284 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 3: Williams in the slot. So if you're wanting to be 285 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 3: a nickel or dime, probably gonna have Rabbit Taylor Demerson 286 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: out there a little bit more. If the reality is, though, 287 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: if you don't have Melton and Johnson, things are going 288 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 3: to be different. Now. I believe Rawllis when he says 289 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: he's not going to change how he gain plans or 290 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 3: he's not going to change what he's asking of his cornerbacks. 291 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 3: The reality is the experience in the skill set does vary. 292 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: There is a drop, and part of that is reps. 293 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 3: Part of that is also just a skill set coming 294 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 3: into the league of two rookies of Johnson and Burke 295 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 3: is just a different level, and that was seen in 296 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: their difference of draft selection. So you're not going to 297 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 3: ask your cornerbacks to do anything differently. You're not going 298 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: to ask your defense as a whole to do anything 299 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 3: differently or drastically change your schemes because if you're having 300 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: to do that, you are not setting your team up 301 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: for success. Because if that's the case and you have 302 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 3: an injury mid game, that would completely throw out your 303 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 3: whole playbook. So I do believe rallis to that extent. 304 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: It is different though if you don't have Max Melton 305 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 3: and Will Johnson out wide of you need to be 306 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: at least a little more aware of of certain things 307 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: with differ players. 308 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: It's a good distinction as far as no, the game 309 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: plan doesn't change, but I do think maybe some of 310 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: the play calling might change depending on the experience or 311 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: lack thereof that you might have at the cornerback room. 312 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: Maybe you can't afford to play man to man a lot, 313 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: Maybe you can't afford to blitz or bring a lot 314 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: of pressure because that puts a ton of pressure on 315 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: the cornerback position. Maybe you have to play a little 316 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: bit more zone. You take care of that area of 317 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: the particular field. That's your responsibility. But again that's no 318 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: different than any other week within this defense. It just 319 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: might be more of that than what rawlis prefers to do. 320 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: Roless was already doing some of that stuff. When you're 321 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 3: looking at the injuries on the front seven, if you're 322 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 3: having to talk about, okay, be a little more aware 323 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 3: of what's going on in the secondary, well, the secondary's 324 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 3: already had to be a little more aware of some 325 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: of the injuries they've had up front as well. I 326 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 3: will say this defense, what they've shown us over the 327 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: years is that they are resilient and they find a 328 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: way to get the job done. So that is a 329 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 3: positive of how this team is going to have to 330 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 3: adjust with some things. 331 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: Quick update, as we are talking about the cornerback position, 332 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: officially on the injury report, Max Meltin limited so and 333 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: all that means is we've discussed before that he participated 334 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: in less than one hundred percent of the snaps, which 335 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: could be nine. 336 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 3: Percent during the up and portion of practice to the media, 337 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 3: those those twenty minutes we saw him participating, So that 338 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 3: is where we are getting our information from what we saw. 339 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: The other notes as far as during the open portion 340 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: of practice, it was good to see Tip Ryman back 341 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: on the football field. Cody Simon as well, those two 342 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: were limited. Ryman missed last week because of a foot. 343 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: Simon missed last week because of a concussion. Calvin beacham 344 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: with his traditional I think we're going to call it 345 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: the traditional Wednesday rest day, So good on him. 346 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 3: I believe Plays Campbell has been doing Thursdays, Fridays, Fridays. 347 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: He's got Fridays. Yeah, but if you have a choice, 348 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: if you're a fourteen year VET or an eighteen year VET, 349 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: would you want Wednesdays or Fridays you're in the building regardless, 350 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: Friday's more of a low day. 351 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 3: More of a walk not a true walkthrough, but definitely 352 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 3: more of a low day. 353 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm just curious why you can ask I should I 354 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: should do exactly that. Good call. Elsewhere on the injury report, 355 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: Dante Stills, so we noticed during the open portion of 356 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: practice had a brace on his elbow. He was limited 357 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: Paris Johnson Junior limited with a knee. Will Hernandez limited 358 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: once again, so that is three practices in a row. 359 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: I believe no every practice Will has been limited, but 360 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: I think he's doing a little bit more in those practices. 361 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: I have to wait and see if he ever becomes 362 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: a full participant. But this is game three for Will Hernandez. 363 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: You put him on IR so if you put him 364 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: on our he would have missed four you didn't, or 365 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: you keiped them on pup he would have missed for 366 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: but you didn't. So when do we see seventy six? 367 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 3: His game designations are what's changing? Week one he has 368 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 3: ruled out before the game, so those come out Friday. 369 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 3: And Hernandez was ruled out of the game Week two 370 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 3: against the Panthers, he was questionable, so he was upgraded there. 371 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: So that'll be something to keep an eye on Friday 372 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 3: for that final game designation on that injury report of 373 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 3: where Hernandez stands in his recovery from his knee injury. 374 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: By the way, just on the forty nine ers side, 375 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: limited is what they list rock Party for Wednesday. So again, 376 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: whether it's Mac Jones or Rock Party, I think one 377 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: the game plan remains the same as far as can 378 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: you affect the quarterback with some extra pressure. But the 379 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: bottom line when you talk about this forty nine Ers 380 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: team Danny first and foremost, it's Christian McCaffrey and the 381 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: fact that a year ago Cardinals did not see CMC 382 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: at all. Cardinals swept both matchups, but McCaffrey was part 383 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: of that group of injured players, a laundry list of 384 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: injured players that meant why the card was The forty 385 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: nine Ers finished five and twelve, But Christian McCaffrey healthy 386 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: for the first two games, and I expect a healthy 387 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey on Sunday. 388 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: McCaffrey did not play in either matchup in twenty twenty four. 389 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 3: He did in twenty twenty three. He had one hundred 390 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 3: and seventy five plus scrimmage yards and three or more 391 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 3: touchdowns in both games. CMC is TNT. He is tough 392 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: on the ground, he is strong, he's physical, He's near 393 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 3: impossible to bring down on his contact. He's just as 394 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: much of a threat in the air. McCaffrey already has 395 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five receiving yards through two games, 396 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 3: which is second on San Francisco's team, just behind receiver 397 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: Ricky Pearsall. He is a true dual threat. It's why 398 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 3: Gannon called him a matchup nightmare. Regardless of who is 399 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 3: in a quarterback for San Francisco, regardless of the other receivers, 400 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 3: whoever is going to be healthy enough to be out there, 401 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 3: you have to circle number twenty three on every play 402 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: because he is a true menace to defend. 403 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: Leads the team in both targets and receptions. And we're 404 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: talking about a running back here who, over his career, 405 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: even when he was in Carolina, has always performed well 406 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. He is six and one when he 407 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: is on the field, whatever team he's on, whether it's 408 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: the Panthers or forty nine ers, six and one in 409 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: seven meetings against the Arizona Cardinals. So I went back 410 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: and was looking at some of the numbers you brought 411 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: up twenty twenty three, when he had seven total touchdowns 412 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: in that year and averaged almost six yards a carry 413 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: and almost twelve yards a catch in those two games. 414 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: But you go back even further twenty nineteen, one hundred 415 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: and fifty three rushing yards and a touchdown and a win. 416 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: Third most rushing yards in his career. There was is 417 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: the ten catch game in twenty twenty one in Carolina, 418 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: another win by the way. So when we asked the 419 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: conversation about the Cardinals Panthers, a lot of it was 420 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: because they had CMC. 421 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 3: It's possible we see safety Buddha Baker as a spy, 422 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 3: I mean, best tackler on the team bring down their 423 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 3: running back that's tough to bring down to the ground. 424 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: That is certainly the key matchup, key player, if you will, 425 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: when you talk about the forty nine ers, because I 426 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: think his absence last year affected a lot of what 427 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: they wanted to do offensively him being healthy, maybe not 428 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: completely one hundred percent, but even without George Kittle and 429 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: the lineup who will not be on the field this 430 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: Sunday because he's on IR I still think this forty 431 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: nine ers team is so dangerous regardless of the personnel 432 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: who's available, who's not, and it's because of who's on 433 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: the sideline calling the plays. Kyle Shanahan. 434 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: Shanahan led team is always difficult to defend. He does 435 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 3: a very nice job with his offense, specifically of disguising 436 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: the blocking schemes what their calls are going to be, 437 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 3: and he's proven in San Francisco that he's got a 438 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 3: plug and play team, whether it's Brock Purty, mac Jones, 439 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey, when it was Jordan Mason, when CMC was hurt. 440 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 3: You think that the forty nine ers are out of 441 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 3: it because they're dealing with injuries every year, and they 442 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 3: never are. They always seem to make a push for it. 443 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 3: It's very impressive. 444 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 1: Nick Ralis on Kyle Shanahan. No one can do it 445 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: like Kyle. Jg praised Shanahan's ability to adapt week to 446 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: week and even more in game NFL research again about 447 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan since he's been the head coach of the 448 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: forty nine ers and does not have his starting quarterback 449 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: or that was the starting QB in Week one, so 450 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: playing with a backup quarterback offense still averaged almost twenty 451 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: three points a game. They haven't won a lot of those, yeah, 452 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: but they're putting up points. So to your point, plug 453 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: and play doesn't really matter who's the quarterback, doesn't really 454 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: matter who you have because Shanahan's able to move the 455 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: chess pieces in such a way that keeps opposing defenses 456 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: on its heels. 457 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 3: On the other side of the ball, They've got defensive 458 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 3: end Nick Bosa, former defensive Rookie the Year, Defensive Player 459 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 3: of the Year, five time Pro Bowler, you got Fred Warner, 460 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 3: one of the best, most respected linebackers in the league. 461 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 3: So this Cardinals offense is gonna have to one kind 462 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 3: of figure out what's been behind the slow starts and 463 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 3: not really running the ball well, and you're gonna have 464 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 3: to go and you're gonna have to perform against a 465 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 3: very good defense, I will say against Bosa specifically, This 466 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 3: Cardinals offensive line has done a nice job negating pressures. 467 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 3: Through two weeks. They've allowed nineteen pressures, which is fourth 468 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 3: fewest in the league, and Murray's actually had the longest 469 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 3: time in a clean pocket with three point two to 470 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 3: one seconds, So they have to maintain that. What's tough 471 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: is Bosa's coming off a week where he has five 472 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 3: quick pressures, which means he's getting to the quarterback in 473 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 3: less than two and a half seconds. So as someone 474 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 3: who plays on both sides of the line, your tackles 475 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 3: Paris Johnson Junior and Jonah Williams are going to have 476 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 3: to stay strong and keep Bosa out of the pocket on. 477 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: The offensive discussion part conversation we had a week ago. 478 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: Not that we're going to completely revisit it, but at 479 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: least I want to bring it up. And before I 480 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: bring it up, let me just say it is a 481 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: small sample size. It's only two games. I have deliberately 482 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: not looked at where the Cardinals rank in a number 483 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: of different statistical categories. I'll wait, hopefully until I'm telling 484 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: myself this to wait until maybe after four games, to 485 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: where you actually have a quarter of the season, to 486 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: where you can really kind of dissect where where you're at. 487 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: But the overall numbers don't look good. When you're talking 488 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: about the run games, specifically from the running backs. Yes, 489 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is a part of that, but take him 490 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: away and how many carries James Connor has and Trey 491 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: Benson has and their inability to be efficient. There's been 492 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: some long runs, the fifty two yard run. Yes, James 493 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: Connor only has five runs though longer than five yards. 494 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: And that's where I think you're talking once again. And 495 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: you hear from Drew Petsing and the players about being better, 496 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: being more efficient, how do you unlock what has gone wrong? 497 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: Or a credit to the other team's defenses, which I 498 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: think plays a part into it. But this has in 499 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: the first two years Danny been one of the better 500 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: run teams in the league. 501 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 3: Defenses are paying attention to that because of how good 502 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 3: the Cardinals have been on the ground. Arizona has to 503 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 3: be better at combating those adjustments because they are not 504 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: moving north and south the way that they can and 505 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 3: the way that they need to. This offense is built 506 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: around running the ball. That's how they set the tone 507 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 3: and the rhythm and open up the rest of the playbook. 508 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 3: So if you're not able to run the ball as 509 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 3: of efficiently as you'd like, that's gonna change things. And 510 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: if that's the case, okay, maybe you should rely on 511 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 3: the pass a little more. 512 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: Well. 513 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 3: The passing game. I will say the passing game has 514 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 3: not been near as abysmal as you would think it 515 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 3: has been. If you are on social media and everybody 516 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: is clamoring, like I will say, Murray is moving the 517 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 3: ball and he is hitting multiple targets, can you say 518 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 3: that you want more from your top receivers. Absolutely, that's 519 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 3: totally fair. That all happens though, when you can run 520 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 3: the ball and when you can open up the playbook 521 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 3: and you can have play action. You can keep defenses 522 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 3: on their toes James Connor and Trey Benson, and it's 523 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 3: not just on them. I think it's a combination of 524 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: the offensive line. I'm sure it's a combination of some 525 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 3: of the play calls. It's all encompassing. They have to 526 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 3: figure out how to get things going though, because you 527 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: need to be able to run downhill. You need to 528 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: be able to keep your offense on the field. And 529 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 3: we're down a defense because you're coming off a game 530 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 3: where the Cardinals defenders were on the field for eighty 531 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: five snaps. That is crazy. You want your quarterback out 532 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 3: on the field. You don't want your defense out on 533 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:01,479 Speaker 3: the field. 534 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: Quick note on that I headed up and I meant 535 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: to mention it earlier since you brought it up. Defensive 536 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: snaps in week one, seventy five, defensive snaps in Week 537 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: two eighty five. I'll do the math real quick for you, Dady. 538 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty in two games. Buddha Baker, who 539 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: plays all the time last season through Week two, had 540 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: played one hundred and six snaps. Through Week three, one 541 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two. Buddha Baker, Max Melton, Mac Wilson, 542 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: Jalen Thompson. They've almost played an extra game through two weeks. 543 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 3: Your defense has to your offense rather has to sustain drives. 544 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 3: You have to move the chains, You have to keep 545 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 3: a defense on their toes. And this is going to 546 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 3: be a tough week, but an important week to get 547 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 3: that on track. Especially. I know we're told not to 548 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 3: look ahead, especially after this game in San Francisco. You're 549 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 3: in a short week. You're hosting the Seahawks on Thursday 550 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 3: night football. So with such a condensed week, if you 551 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 3: can really get things rolling offensively in San Francisco, that 552 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 3: can help you with the confidence and working off of 553 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 3: that home against Seattle. 554 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: I do think, and I mentioned it on Monday, that 555 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: the run game unlocks the pass game, at least for 556 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: this offense. And forget about what other teams are doing 557 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: with their quarterbacks and their wide receivers. We know here 558 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: it's James Connor, Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Junior in that order, 559 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: And in order to get better from Trey and Marvin, 560 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: James has to be better. Now it's not all on 561 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: him but everyone, And it's cliche, and I'm borrowing the 562 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: phrase that Jag uses all the time, but it does 563 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: take all eleven in the run game because we know 564 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: how important it is for those tight ends and those 565 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: wide receivers to block tip Ryman back this week? How 566 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: does that change things? And hopefully game three, things after 567 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: two weeks start to kind of get back more in sync. 568 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 3: That's what you need. And if you're able to have 569 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 3: Ryman back out there, who also hasn't seemingly ever worn 570 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 3: a brace or a boot or anything with that foot injury, 571 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 3: if you're able to get the mauler that he is 572 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 3: out there, especially if you need some help against Nick Bosa, 573 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: that that's huge for this offense. 574 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals and forty nine Ers, as we mentioned, two teams 575 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: that are two and ozho. In fact, there are three 576 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC West to and oh the Rams 577 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: the other team. The NFC West, without question the best 578 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: division in football, at least through game. Through two games, 579 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: a collective record of seven and one with that one loss. 580 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: Within the division. The seven total wins more than any 581 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: other division in the NFC or AFC. It is the 582 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: only division that is unbeaten on the road, only division 583 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: which every team has scored at least forty points and 584 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: allowed fewer than forty points. And I do think it 585 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: is going to be a slugfest from here on out, 586 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: especially now that you're playing games within the division Sunday 587 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: and then five days later when Seattle comes to town. 588 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: Can you again you talk about protecting home turf going 589 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: three and three within the division, but can you be 590 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: a little bit better? Can you get to that fourth 591 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: win or that fifth win, don't get swept by a 592 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: team like you did last year against Seattle. But you've 593 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: got two home division games coming up might be the 594 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: two most important games in this early half of the 595 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: schedule here in twenty twenty five. 596 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 3: Every game matters. It doesn't matter when you get to 597 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 3: the end of the season how you got to win, 598 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 3: as long as you got to win, especially in those 599 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 3: early couple of weeks when you're looking at the NFC West. 600 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 3: If it's going to be as competitive throughout the whole 601 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 3: season as it is right now, goodness gracious, these divisional 602 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 3: games are as important as ever. You need to be 603 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 3: able to get on the right tracks so you can 604 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 3: really kind of get your footing for the rest of 605 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 3: the season. And this is a great test for the 606 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 3: Cardinals to have back to back divisional opponents. 607 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: I think I missbook. I think I said two home 608 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: division games. The Cardinals are on the road on Sunday 609 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. You're traveling a bit of a homecoming 610 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: for Elijah Higgins, who I know. You had a chance 611 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: to speak this week on Sideline Exchange, joining Michael Wilson, 612 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: Simi Fejoco all Stanford alums going back to the Bay Area. 613 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 3: They were all three receivers at Stanford, and it was 614 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 3: after college when Higgins going through the draft process he 615 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 3: transitioned into a tight end, which makes sense because Fohoco 616 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 3: said they used to joke in that ride receivers room 617 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 3: that Higgins was too big. He was always the biggest receivers, right, 618 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 3: So everything kind of works out how it's meant to. 619 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: Higgins, by the way, got a shout out from Kyler 620 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Murray on Wednesday on those back to back catches that 621 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: he had on Sunday. More importantly, though, were the yards 622 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: after the catch. And I think, yes, a better run 623 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: game would unlock the pass game. But can you get 624 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: these wide receivers on the move, meaning you're throwing them 625 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: open and hitting them in stride? So now all of 626 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, a eight yard catch becomes twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 627 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: fifteen yards. If we can see more yards after catch, 628 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: yards after contact, I think that would certainly help and 629 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: then everyone would feel a little bit better about where 630 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: the pass game is. 631 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,959 Speaker 3: Absolutely now, now's a good test for this Cardinals team. 632 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: Sunglasses packed for the that's a good reminder, man. 633 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, this this press box at Levi Stadium. The timing 634 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 3: of our pregame radio shows is when the sun. I'm 635 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 3: convinced it's the strongest out in the bay. It is 636 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 3: scorching hot. The last two times we have been there, 637 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 3: I have found myself I think I can, I think 638 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 3: I can, you know, test it out, you know. But 639 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 3: I brought my sunglasses last year because I didn't do 640 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 3: that the first year, and I thought that would be 641 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 3: enough and it wasn't. And so both years I have 642 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 3: found myself crouched under the table because that is the 643 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 3: only sort of relief I have in that press box, 644 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 3: in that radio booth with any sort of shade. And 645 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 3: Darren is fine because Darren picks a side by the 646 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 3: stairs where there's at least somewhat of a small amount 647 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 3: of shade. So I am left by myself, so I 648 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 3: will be bringing my sunglasses. I honestly don't even know 649 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 3: if it's worth bringing a hat. I might just start 650 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 3: under the table to begin with, because I know I'm 651 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 3: gonna end up there anyway. 652 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: One leave it to Darren to actually document when Danny's 653 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: under the table, because he'll tweet out the photo. But 654 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that Darren had fight first choice.
