However, we're in costume, so 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: we're going to make the best of it.

I'm a farmer today. How did 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: you guys pick your costumes? First and foremost, I mean, 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: Frozen is the best superhero of all time. I mean 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: the probably the best movie scene of all time. Where 18 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: is my super suit? And I mean I just had 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: to buy into it. You look good. I like the 20 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: shades to keep them on all day. We'll see Mine 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: was kind of last minute. Okay, So this was a 22 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: frankly in a storage little box somewhere and it was 23 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: kind of half crushed. So I spent the morning kind 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: of popping it out. But I don't know a lot 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: about who this is or what it is, but I 26 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: thought it was festive. I'm sorry, Danny, I could China 27 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: laugh it off because I do not like scary things 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: at all. Unfortunately, though, the Cardinals had a bit of 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: a scary game to a certain extent. They got down 30 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: early and then took a seventeen fourteen lead, and the 31 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: third quarter looked like maybe they were going to be 32 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: able to get a win over the now six and 33 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: one Minnesota Vikings. However, it was self inflicting wounds. It 34 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: was a bit unusual the amount of turnovers that the 35 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals had, because they had entered Sunday's game with a 36 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: plus five turnover margin, which was fourth best in the NFL. However, 37 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: committed three turnovers Sunday to the Vikings, and unfortunately, Minnesota 38 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: took advantage but points on the board after those turnovers. Jody, 39 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: this defense scored. Sorry, this loss, how much of it 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: stems from those turnovers? Because of Minnesota putting points on 41 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: the board. Yeah, and by the way, I don't know 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: how long I can keep this on. I think good, 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to continue for a little bit. But yeah, 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: the turnovers are very uncharacteristic of this offense and Kyler 45 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: Murray in particular. But guys, it was a topic this 46 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: week and because they've been so good at it, and 47 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: it was talked about by the media, the guys were 48 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: asked about it, about taking care of the ball, and 49 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, it is cyclical in the NFL. There are 50 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: just games where, especially when you're looking to make something 51 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: happen like that, and that's what Kyler was looking to do. Both. 52 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: You know, when you look at the pick to Robbie 53 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 1: Anderson trying to throw that ball deep, he was getting hit. 54 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: What are you doing, You're backed up, You're trying to 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: make something happen. These are the times when those types 56 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: of things do happen. And then the muffed punt, which 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: was just horrible for Greg Dorch, you know, horrible timing 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: in the game. You know, a lot happened between the 59 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: end of that third quarter and then the end of 60 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: the game, and there were opportunities there to seize this game, 61 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: to take this game. You know, like you said, Danny, 62 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: they had a seventeen fourteen lead, but then you know, 63 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: the Vikings came roaring back next thing, you know, it's 64 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: twenty eight seventeen. But there were enough good things that happened. 65 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: And I think we're all kind of wrestling with the 66 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: fact that, yes, the defense gave up a lot of 67 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: yards and the defense gave up thirty four points. But 68 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, Q, when you look at it, they were 69 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: given a short field on those two turnovers. So I 70 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: don't I don't blame the defen with thirty yards. They 71 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: only had to go thirty yards after the pick twenty 72 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: five yards after the muffpunt. That's hard on the defense, 73 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: So I don't know that's how I rectify the defensive 74 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: side of it. But the turnovers, they absolutely hurt, and 75 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: you just can't have that. You can't have that in 76 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: this league. Yeah, definitely. I mean that we're missing the 77 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: big plays on offense, and that's one thing that Cliff 78 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: said and his presser yesterday, that we're just missing those 79 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: explosive plays. I don't know if it's Kyla's arm because 80 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: it seems a little off to Kyle's arms seems a 81 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: little off and he's just under throwing a lot of 82 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: balls this season. It's kind of a little eerie. But 83 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: again the defense stepped up. They got two turnovers. I mean, 84 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: or was it one huge play? Um sat on short field, 85 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: but we couldn't capitalize on it. Uh and go ahead, 86 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: go ahead? Oh there she is, but yeah, but we 87 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: couldn't capitalize off with the Isaiah Simmons and settled for 88 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: a field goal. I mean, it's those little things and 89 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: missing those explosive plays and losing Hollywood Brown is one 90 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: of the big reasons. And then having DeAndre Hopkins not 91 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: at the same field at the same time. But then 92 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: yet Robbie Anderson, we didn't see much ot of him yesterday. 93 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the one play that we really saw out 94 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: of him was the Kyler pick and it was obviously 95 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: it was in the back of his end zone or 96 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: in his own end zone and getting hit and just 97 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: had to let the ball fly and ended up underthrowing it. 98 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: But we're missing those explosive plays, and I think that's 99 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: the kind of biggest thing that we had to figure out. 100 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: It was interesting that we didn't see more of Robbie 101 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: Anderson now that he had almost two weeks under his 102 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: belt with this team learning the game book, and that 103 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: was kind of the expectation was to have him there 104 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: for those big plays. I agree with you, Q, I 105 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: don't know if it's Kyler Murray's execution alone, if it 106 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: has to do with trust, if it has to do 107 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: with communication on the routes. It seems like those deep 108 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: balls that Kyler can really make and made a lot 109 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: last year, have been underthrown. The only one I can 110 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: really think of where it was overthrown was at home 111 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: to Hollywood Brown and he was double teamed and that 112 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: one was picked off. But it does seem like those 113 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: big throws have not been their connection wise. Yeah, it's weird. 114 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the things that Commer has 115 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: been always excelled at his feet outside the pocket and 116 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: his big throws and his arm and kind of eerie 117 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: that we're not seeing that. I do wonder if it's 118 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: a good thing or a bad thing that this team 119 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: is clearly relying on DeAndre Hopkins. I see it as 120 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: a good thing because he is a superstar and he 121 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: makes those contested throws almost every time. It's a guarantee 122 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: if you throw it to d hop he had twelve 123 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and fifty nine yards in a touchdown. 124 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: He didn't have a single game last season where he 125 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: surpassed one hundred receiving yards, and he's now two for 126 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: two this year. Qute, Is that okay if this offense 127 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: is strictly relying on Hopkins or is that not sustainable? 128 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we saw yesterday it's not sustainable. I mean, 129 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: do you have can have his best game over here 130 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: and still can't get the win? So I mean you 131 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: got to open up the door for other people. I mean, 132 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: we didn't see much of Greg Dortch in the offense. 133 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: We didn't see it. We saw a lot of Rondale Moore, 134 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: which is very pleasant to see. But aj Green was 135 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: out there for a lot, and we saw that one 136 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: breakup pass in the end zone. But then I don't 137 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: think Kyler really went back to him anymore. Zach Ertz 138 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins cannot be the sole source of this offense. 139 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: So we got to figure it out and got to 140 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: open up the door for other people. It's amazing that 141 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: thanks to de Hop's big mitt this team was in 142 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: it at the half. You know that one play I mean, 143 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: they were really they were outgained, they were outplayed in 144 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. That's what he does. He changes 145 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: the game. And to me, you know, look, we talk 146 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: about this each week and kind of the flow of 147 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: the game and it ends up coming down to the 148 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: end and we wonder about the slow starts, but the 149 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: first half a lot of times is a feeling out process. 150 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: And so it was fourteen to ten and you kind 151 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: of you're like, okay, it's the basis for the drama 152 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: that's going to unfold in the second half. And so 153 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: but if not for that touchdown from de Hoop, they're 154 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: not even really in it at the half. At that point, 155 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: it's much much of a bigger mountain to climb. But 156 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: he's absolutely the focal point. I think what also hurt 157 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: is not being able to run the ball, and the 158 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: big thing for me was the lack of O line 159 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: experience and cohesion. And look, we all know teams in 160 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: the NFL go through injuries, but to not have Rodney Hudson, 161 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: which is not new, and Justin Pugh also not new. 162 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: Adding DJ Humphries to the mix yesterday, that hurt. He's 163 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: been in there. He's a guy that has been so 164 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: reliable for this team, and so two fits of your 165 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: O line is, you know, from the starting group back 166 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: in training camp and now you're you're having other guys 167 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: have to fill in, you know, and I know Kyler 168 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: absolved him of any blame, but Billy Price and that 169 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: miscommunication with the snap when you had the chance to 170 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: go down and score a touchdown, you only get the 171 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: field goals. You lose four points there. You know, that 172 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: was tough. Again, one play, but difficult, and it's just 173 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: tough slotting. And I think, speaking to your point, Danny, 174 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: of why things look out of sorts, Kyler looks out 175 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: of sorts, I think it is the fact that he 176 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have that comfort level with the O line and 177 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, the communication isn't going as smoothly as 178 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: it did last year. It's the same thing. I mean, 179 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: that's another reason why we're missing those big plays. He 180 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: feels pressured in the pocket and can't really set him 181 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: his feet settle in the pocket and really launched the ball. 182 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: So that could be another reason. And I mean you 183 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: also didn't mention Max Garcia, who isn't a starting offensive linement, 184 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: but he's the next backup, and you miss him also 185 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: next this week, So it's kind of like we're really 186 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: down to our second and third strings in our whole 187 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: entire starting line of our offensive line. Right. So, Senator 188 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: Ronnie Hudson's been dealing with the knee, which is why 189 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: he was at It was a second game for center 190 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: Billy Price to go in as your starter. They had 191 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: left guard Cody Ford in which was his second game 192 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: because he was on IR to start the season with 193 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: an ankle injury, and left tackle DJ Humphries was out 194 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: with a back injury, and I believe he'd only missed 195 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: one other game since twenty nineteen. So your offensive line 196 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: was dealing with its fairst share of adversity. Kyler Murray 197 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: was sacked four times, although when you have a player 198 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray who can extend the play with his legs, 199 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: those sacks don't necessarily fall entirely in the offensive line 200 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: when he is extending plays. But the Cardinals could not 201 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: get that run game going. Kyler Murray was the top rusher, 202 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: which is thirty six yards. It seemed like the Vikings 203 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: defensive line was just controlling the offensive line for the 204 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: Cardinals the entire game. The pressure there were no holes 205 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: for the running backs. You know, Benjamin how many rushing yards? 206 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: Twenty six rushing yards. It was just the run game 207 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: was not there. There wasn't that balance. Postgame, Kyler Murray 208 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: said that the offense it doesn't feel like things are tough, 209 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: which is how he described it after the loss in Seattle. 210 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: So I'm just curious of if the Cardinals offense was 211 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: moving the chains and they were scoring points, why were 212 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: they still so out of sync? Yeah, that's the question. 213 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: I think that's that everyone's kind of waiting to ask. 214 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: I mean, we're need the answer. I mean, we are 215 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: moving the ball or scoring points, but like, why can't 216 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: we get into the end zone and why are the 217 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: little things holding us back? I mean, that game was 218 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: very wonderful yesterday and once again couldn't finish. Yeah, two 219 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: possessions late, couldn't finish, And I think that's also again 220 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: I get to give the defense a pass, but when 221 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: they needed them, they forced two punts in the last 222 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: six minutes and forty three seconds. So as much as 223 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: they had given up ground all game long, they were 224 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: able to do that to give the offense that chance. 225 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's the next step for this offense, 226 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: and that's what we've seen. That's where the term Murray 227 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: Magic came from, right these late game heroics. And to 228 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: be honest, every good team, every good offense, every good 229 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: quarterback has those moments. You have to be able to 230 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: score in that final six minutes, four minutes, two minutes, 231 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: and they had the two chances and couldn't get it done. 232 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: But I think that's the big question Danny, and no 233 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: one seems to know, and that's what's difficult right now 234 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: to take. And at three and five, time is running 235 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: out in terms of getting things under control and turning 236 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: things around. Was still a chance to at least win 237 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: the division and make the playoffs. The defense we were 238 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: talking before we got on air, is that maybe we've 239 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: been two nice because the expectations going into this year 240 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: was it was going to be an offense heavy team. 241 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: Your defense was going to have to do just enough 242 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: because the Cardinals are relying on so much young depth. However, 243 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: it's been the defense that has carried this team. This 244 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: was not a great game for them. They allowed a 245 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: hundred plus yard rusher for the first time this season 246 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: in Dalvin Cook, who finished with one hundred and eleven yards. 247 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: On the ground in a rushing touchdown, wide receiver Justin 248 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: Jefferson ninety eight receiving yards. Cardinals defense gave up five touchdowns. Jody, 249 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: was Sunday's performance defensively poor by the Cardinals or was 250 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: it more that the Vikings offense was executing so well? 251 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: I think it was the Vikings offense executing and you 252 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: saw that especially in the first half. I think they 253 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: actually could have had more than the fourteen points that 254 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: they had. But you know, it started in the trenches 255 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: Danny for me and Justin Jefferson, even though he did 256 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: have the ninety eight yards, you know, he didn't have 257 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: a touchdown, he didn't have he had some impactful plays, 258 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: especially the third and five. You know that was obviously 259 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: a backbreaker for this team in the second half him 260 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: converting there. But I think it started in the trenches 261 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: again and really both sides of the ball. But unfortunately 262 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: they were able to that offensive line and we know 263 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: they had no injuries coming in. That was one of 264 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: the topics all week. They had their guys up front 265 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: and defensively, you know, the Cardinals are not as banged 266 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: up as it on the line as you could say 267 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: on the O line, but you know, you still miss Lawrence. 268 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: But again, I feel like because this defense wasn't expected 269 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: to do as well maybe as they are doing, and 270 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of hype around them, they're kind 271 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: of holding their own in my opinion, I think that 272 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: we do give them a little bit more of a pass, 273 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, a lot of it. You know, it felt 274 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: like the Vikings could do whatever they wanted in that 275 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: first half, and yet it was fourteen to ten. So 276 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: again I look at when you look at how the 277 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: game was finished, how that last ten minutes went, I 278 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: thought the defense did their job. Yeah, I agree, And 279 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: then I think that's one of the you said, Dannio 280 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: is one of the biggest things is stopping the run. 281 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: And when Delvin cook starts very high, it opens up 282 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: play act and you have to watch out for the 283 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: run all game. And that's one thing that we hadn't 284 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: ever really had to worry about. We've played some great 285 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: running backs this season so far and they've stopped the run, 286 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: and then that limits what they can do on the offense. 287 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: But with Alvin Cooks starting off hot, you opened up 288 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: the game for a past past plays, play action plays, 289 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: running plays and We're just on our the back of 290 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: our heels all game. So I think that was the 291 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: biggest thing that we really lost. And by Justin Jefferson 292 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: was able to get open so much, and why Delvin 293 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: Cook was able to break outside and he ran a 294 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: lot outside and we were not able to set the edge. 295 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: So the defense, I mean, got to figure it out. 296 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: I will say I thought that Kirk Cousins played well. 297 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: I think about that play. I can't think off the top. 298 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: I had the receiver, but Antonio Hamilton was on coverage 299 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: and he Hamilton had good coverage. It was just a 300 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: perfectly thrown ball by Cousins Justin Jefferson. Yeah, yeah, Jefferson 301 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: caught that. But you're you're right, Kirk Cousins. People ran 302 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: the league, don't really talk about Kirk Cousins. I don't 303 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: want to talk about it. And the prime time thing 304 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: comes up, right, he's, oh, for whatever, I think it's 305 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: almost double digits now in like primetime. I had someone 306 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: this week tell me in one of my previews that 307 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: I was doing, you know, well, it's not a primetime game. 308 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: So he's okay, you know, like it's just that's become 309 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: his thing. But he's a solid quarterback, and it is 310 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: more of a game manager role because they have a 311 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: solid running game. But you know, he made a couple 312 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: of deep throws. I mean, he's able to make throws, 313 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: he's able to make plays, and we even saw him run. 314 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: I think he rushed for more yards and everybody but Kyler, 315 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean he had he does what's necessary. 316 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: He had twenty two rushing yards, which was how many 317 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: Eno Benjamin had seven, second highest rushing for the Cardinalstone. Yeah, 318 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: so that was what was a little shocking. But hey, 319 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: you know in seventeen rush touchdown not always pretty, but 320 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: he got it done. Yeah, it's and I think that's 321 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: the thing around the league that people are wondering, right, Like, 322 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has so much talent with his arm, with 323 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: his legs, and yet some of these other quarterbacks and 324 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: you know, not certainly not disrespecting Kirk Cousins, but even 325 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: some of the lesser known quarterbacks are coming up with 326 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: highlight plays, big finishes, and people are wondering what's going on. Now, 327 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: it's certainly not all on Kyler. But I think what 328 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: we do see is, you know, even though he's still 329 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: young in this game, maybe you want to see a 330 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: little bit more of a veteran presence of a savvyness 331 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: to the game and what's happening at the end of 332 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: the game, in particular to make some of those things happen, 333 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: because some of those Murray magic moments were very unscripted 334 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: and things that you know, didn't necessarily happen as a 335 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: result of great awareness at the end of the game, 336 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: maybe just a great play that happened. And so that's 337 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: that's that next up for him. I'm wondering if the 338 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: reason we are lacking those is because I don't know 339 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: if the confidence is there. And I don't just mean 340 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: from Kyler Murray, I mean from this team as a whole. 341 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: You're now a game into the season, and every player 342 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: on that offense and in that coaching staff will tell 343 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: you that they have not played a single game to 344 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: their standard as a team. They haven't played a game 345 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: of complimentary football to their standard. So I'm wondering if 346 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: those Murray magic moments that we have seen in the 347 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: past that we haven't seen this year is simply because 348 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: of the confidence and maybe lack thereof from this team 349 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: as a whole. Now, the challenge from our perspective is 350 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: we don't know how much of the lack of execution 351 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: comes from simply the players on the field or play 352 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: calling communication between the coaching staff and the players out 353 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: on the field. Kyler Murray was wearing a wristband though 354 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: for the first time in his career with those plays, 355 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: I think trying to help that miscommunication. Did it work? 356 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: I don't know that was something leading up. There was 357 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: really no that was something that was just seen on 358 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: game day, right, So that's interesting. At least they're trying 359 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: something new. Yeah, absolutely shows an effort. Again, no faults 360 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: of the effort out there. I think it more just 361 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: is to that cohesion and there is preparation. Obviously you had. 362 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: You know, both these teams came in pretty rusted, not 363 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: healthy for the Cardinals. That hurt Q. But like you know, 364 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: I think you mentioned the big plays, and that's the 365 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: hard part is when you're not feeling and you mentioned confidence, Danny, 366 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: when you're not feeling like you can do the simple things, 367 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to go for the deep shot. And but 368 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: it's that that's a big problem. I think there's a 369 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: graphic that went out that we were the least healthy 370 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: team in the league, and I think they were the 371 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: second healthiest team in the league coming into that game, 372 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: so does play a part, and yet again had a 373 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: chance to win it. That's that's what hurts so many 374 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: of these games, Eagles game, you know, And that's why 375 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 1: the Seahawks game coming up is just another. I think 376 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: we felt like the Saints was a must win, and 377 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: then this is really that same must win to get 378 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: back into the division because it is possible. That is 379 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: my hotcake take, which we will get into now, is 380 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: that hope is a good thing and there is help 381 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: for this Cardinals team. They had chances to win this game. 382 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: It was self inflicting wounds. It was the turnovers, penalties, miscommunication, 383 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: thinking back to that snap when the Cardinals could have 384 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: taken an in for a touchdown, that is why they 385 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: could not pull off this win. I believe that there 386 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: is enough foundation offensively, especially when you are healthy and 387 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: you have DeAndre Hopkins, zach Ertz, James Connor back in 388 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: the backfield. And also the way you know Benjamin has played. 389 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: I know he I don't know if he didn't have 390 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: a great game because of him or because of the 391 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: lack of places for him to run. There really weren't 392 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: a lot of holes made by the offensive line. I 393 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: believe that there is enough foundation offensively that this Cardinals team, 394 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: especially when healthy, can be explosive and can win games 395 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: and can dominate. They haven't done that yet. I do 396 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: think a lot of this now is a lack of confidence. 397 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: Like you were touching on Jodie Off They're not doing 398 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: the small things consistently well and that affects the confidence 399 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 1: when you're looking for those big game changing plays. However, 400 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: I believe there is enough hope at three and five 401 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: that this Cardinals team, at least on the offense, can 402 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: still turn things around. Yeah. I mean, you have three 403 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: straight divisional games coming up, and we play home against 404 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and then we'll go to LA who has 405 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: been struggling very badly recently, and then we play a 406 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: home game in Mexico City against the forty nine ers. 407 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: So I mean, you win these next three games, we're 408 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: sitting on the top of the division. So there's a 409 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: lot of hope. And so Danny, what you're saying is 410 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: this team is gonna be Okay. I'm not going to 411 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: take your hot take from what you just said. Sounds 412 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: like you said I'm just saying, there is hope. I'm 413 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: not going to take your hotcake from Frozene. I feel 414 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: better exactly. That's all right, let's jump on. I'm not 415 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's why I took that face off, 416 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: because that was just that was too much doom, no hope. 417 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: There it was. It was it was not like a hope. 418 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: You guys look much more like hope. So I don't 419 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: know if I look like hope, But what is your hotcake? 420 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: Take you? I'm gonna take it out of your mouth, Danny. 421 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: I think this team is going to be okay if 422 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: they can figure out they have like you said, they 423 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: have the foundation. Defense has the foundation there creating turnovers 424 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: every single game. Offense has that foundation. You get Robbie 425 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: Anderson more in climbs to the game and then getting 426 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: Greg Dortch and Rondale Moore. It was beautiful a see 427 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: Rondale more into this offense this week. But if this 428 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: team can continue to build off that foundation in these 429 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: next three weeks and somehow quiet the Seahawks team who 430 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: has been very high recently, and then go into La 431 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: which we have in the last three times we've played there, 432 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: or two times we played there have two very different results. 433 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: But if we can get on top of them early 434 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: and then go to Mexico City and beat this four 435 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: nine ers team that has been made with Kennon Christian McCaffrey, 436 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: who has been a definitely interesting aspect for them. But 437 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: I think we can definitely beat them as well. You 438 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: win these next three games, you're at the top of 439 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: the division going into week twelve. So I think this 440 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: team is going to be okay if they can lay 441 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: that foundation. That's the hotcake. I love the consistency of 442 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: the hot cake takes that this team is going to 443 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: be okay. Just an optimist, you are, no. I appreciate it. 444 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: We need we need it On a morning like this, 445 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: I hate to bring everybody down, but should I put 446 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: it on? You end on like a zoom and gloom, 447 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 1: but like it's like the hot cakes that have been 448 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: kind of sitting out and they're they're cold and sorry McDonald's, mcdonald'soggy, 449 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 1: and then hard on the edges. You just don't want it, 450 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: but let me go with us to end it here 451 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: on Halloween. The goodness is I can see now, so 452 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: it's you know, but okay, So here's my thing, Q. 453 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: I do love the optimism and Danny to your point, 454 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: three and five in the NFC is not certainly a 455 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: death knelt, but they haven't done a lot to inspire 456 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: me to have that confidence in them. They haven't really 457 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: earned it, in my opinion, offensively at least. So my 458 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: hot cake take is a little bit all over the place. 459 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: But I'll start with the fact that, you know, when 460 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: you look at finishing a game and being able to finish, 461 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: being able to make things happen, it ended on two sacks, okay, 462 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: and then there were key players on offense. When you're 463 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: looking for four yards you get three on the play 464 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: to you know, Benjamin, we talked about the drop snap. 465 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: These are things that can't happen. And as I've said 466 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 1: multiple times here on the scramble, a lot of it 467 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 1: comes down to young and inexperienced players in big moments 468 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: even know not to pile on EO. But again, the 469 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: blindside block, I mean, train McBride with some penalties, you're 470 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: relying on some young guys, and I think a lot 471 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: of people, especially nationally, they look at this team, they 472 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: see d Hop, they see JJ Watt, they think Wow, 473 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: veteran team, but they're not. They're relying on a lot 474 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: of young players in tough spots and you're going to 475 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: have mistakes. So they have to cut that down. Can 476 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: it get better? Yes, you're eight games in, there's nine 477 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: to go. That can get better. And you know, maybe 478 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: you have to face the fact that you're missing Rodney Hudson. 479 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: We don't know how that knee is looking, if it's 480 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: going to get better or not. You know, you've lost 481 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: Justin Pugh for the season. They sorely miss these veteran 482 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: offensive linemen. How do you comp and sate right? So 483 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: for me, the missing pieces you have to find a 484 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: way to somehow overcome all of that. Cut down the 485 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: mistakes continue improving week to week, because I think this 486 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: past week was a little bit of regression right with 487 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: the mistakes. And when they watched the film today, it 488 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: is not going to be pretty. It is not going 489 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: to be fun. It's going to be like watching me 490 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: right now. And when they watch film, audience right when 491 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: they watch film Hard Knocks is now going to be 492 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: all over the building. Because that first episode releases Wednesday, 493 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: November ninth. That's so that's something as we was coming 494 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: like next week. Wow, and yeah, I mean that accountability. 495 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: I mean I think the accountability has been there. Nobody 496 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: wants to lose, nobody wants to make mistakes like this 497 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: all a non a positive note. Good things. We saw 498 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: the hoop once again. Rondel Moore had his own drive right, 499 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: two huge plays that touchdown, He broke three tackles. He 500 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Continue doing that, continue finding ways to get 501 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: him involved. And then Isaiah Simmons with another play. So 502 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: and JJ Watt had a pair of sacks. And there 503 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: are positive things, There's no question about it. But in 504 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: crunch time, this offense cannot You cannot end the game 505 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: with two possessions thanks to your defense force and punts 506 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: and having that chance to come back and make something 507 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: happen and end it with confusion and chaos and two 508 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: sacks with the Vikings taking down Kyler Murray absolutely not acceptable. 509 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: As we wrap up this edition of Morning Scramble, let's 510 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: bring home the Bacon. I will let the two of 511 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: you quickly go first, because I selfishly want to save 512 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 1: mine for last, So Jody, I'll let you start off, 513 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: bring home the bake, and wrap us up. Bring Home 514 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: the Bacon. On this Halloween. It's all about eating as 515 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: much candy as you possibly can love it. No, I yeah, 516 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: I kind of blew through my bacon, to be honest, 517 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: in the hotcake take. So that's fine. You don't have 518 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: any room for bacon. You filled up on the hotcakes. 519 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: That's right, it's early. Have some m and ms and 520 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: continue working. Yeah, I mean my bacon, just continue to build. 521 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: Like you said, I mean, they have the found and 522 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: if they want to get anywhere in these next three weeks, 523 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: they have to contain the bill and they cannot regress anymore. 524 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: And the mistakes and the penalties they have to be 525 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: cleaned up. My brain home the bacon is. I don't 526 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: truly believe there is bad Halloween candy. Now, if I 527 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: have my options, If I have my options, am I 528 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: going for the Almond Joys or the Twigs? No, I'm 529 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: going to go for something two in the same. I'm 530 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: just saying, like bottom tier, I don't like. I'm just 531 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: saying the sunglasses for froze on her on and the 532 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: arms are crossed and he is shut down his iPad, 533 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: and I'm sure he is giving me a side eye. 534 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I'm not picky. Now, are there 535 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: like bottom tier candies? Yes? And what are those? Can 536 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: me three bottom tier candies? Probably almond joy dots and 537 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: maybe milk dots because I don't like that they stick 538 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: to my teeth. I can't see if you're looking me 539 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: or not, but I know you're glaring at me because 540 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: I only feel the attitude in the air. What do 541 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: you got on bottom two candy? I would probably say 542 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: those three? Okay, So the way, what is you? Same 543 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: category before? And it really offended. I was just okay, 544 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Twigs are They're not in the same category, 545 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,479 Speaker 1: but twigs are not my favorite. They're probably middle cricks 546 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: are so good. It's chocolate with the crunch of the way. 547 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: I know, but I would never go for it on 548 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: my own. So bottom line is just eat a lot 549 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: of candy, get on that sugar high to feel that 550 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: optimism that Q feels every week about this Cardinals team. 551 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: It's an important stretch for the Cardinals. Next three games 552 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: are all Divisional. Q touched on it. At home against Seattle, 553 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: who the Cardinals have already lost to this season, in 554 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: La whom the Cardinals have already lost to the season, 555 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: and then the home game in Mexico City against the 556 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. That'll be the first time the Cardinals 557 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: face off against San Francisco. With a three and five record, 558 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals are just two games back from Seattle in first place, 559 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: So if you can take advantage of these games, start 560 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: getting divisional wins under your belt, because it's not just 561 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: over record, you have to look at those divisional records 562 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: as well when it comes to that final stretch in 563 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: the regular season to making the playoffs. Three very important 564 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: games for the Cardinals, hoping they can turn things around 565 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: as consistently as Q says that there, this team will 566 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: be okay.
