00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: Here we go, one handed catch at a touchdown?

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: Oh baby, how's that fail?

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: Here's Craiggriolu, Paul Calvic and three time pro bowler Kyle Vandenbosch.

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 4: So the numbers are in. More than two hundred million

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: watched or watched parts of Sunday's game. The average viewership

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 4: three point four million, a seven percent increase from a

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 4: year ago. Super Bowl fifty eight will go down as

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 4: the most watched program in US TV history.

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 5: The headline I saw was and this caught my attention.

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 5: I was late yesterday, so maybe they've revised it. I

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 5: don't know if this is still accurate or not, but

22
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 5: the headline was well done. It said super Bowl nets

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 5: biggest TV audience since moon landing. Okay, all right, uh,

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 5: you know what that's Uh, that's quite an achievement, quite

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 5: an accomplishment right there. So yeah, now here's the thing.

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 5: Apparently part of the increase can be attributed to a

27
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 5: change in the way viewers are counted. Nielsen began including

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 5: out of home viewers in twenty twenty, but only from

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 5: limited markets. Now they include all fifty states out of

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 5: home viewers, which, as we all know, because we all

31
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 5: have kids, guess what, a lot of people aren't just

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 5: sitting around the TV anymore. There's a lot of other platforms,

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 5: a lot of people on the go.

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: The streaming numbers on Paramount Plus were up as well, Kyl,

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 4: you know you're big into the numb bottom line though.

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 4: Twenty five, twenty two, the Chiefs beat the forty nine

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: Ers in overtime. Was it a good game?

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 6: It was a great game.

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 7: Talking about numbers, A record one hundred and eighty five

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 7: million dollars were bet on the game. I'm happy to

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 7: report I lost zero dollars on this game. So I

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 7: came out there. It was a. It was a win

44
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 7: for me over the weekend because had I bet, I

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 7: would have certainly lost. I would have picked the Niners

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 7: to win the game, so I certainly would have come

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 7: out negative in the money category. But I thought it

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 7: was a great game. I was on the edge of

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 7: my seat most of the game. I know a lot

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 7: of people were, you know, with the punts going on

51
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 7: early in the game, were kind of bored with it.

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 7: But I thought it was just fantastic. I thought, again,

53
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 7: you know, as with when the Chiefs played the Ravens game,

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 7: I thought the chief staff did a great job, phenomenal

55
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 7: job of coaching, particularly Steve Spagnolo, and I think he

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 7: did a fantastic job in this game as well. Andy

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 7: Reid did a good job with play calling. And you know,

58
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 7: it's I think the experience helps. I mean not to say,

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 7: you know, the Niners have been to NFC championship games,

60
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 7: they've gone far in the playoffs before, but the experience

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 7: in a big game like that really helped the Kansas

62
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 7: City Chiefs in this one.

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 5: Look, I can't bet we all know that, okay, but

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 5: I will say this, and I did say it before

65
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: the game. If you're giving me a choice when anytime

66
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes is declared an underdog, bet on Patrick Mahomes.

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: And he said it after the game, did he not?

68
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: That was the one declarative statement that he said. He

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: flexed it on camera afterwards. He said, the Chiefs are

70
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 5: never underdogs.

71
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 6: Just know that.

72
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: So you know to some degree that was a big

73
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 5: motivation internally.

74
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: The first repeat winners of the Super Bowl since the

75
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: two thousand and three two thousand and four Patriots, it's

76
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: the Chiefs third Super Bowl in five years. More on

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: the historical significance a little bit later on, but first

78
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: things first, let's just talk about the team within the

79
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: NFC West, the San Francisco forty nine ers. They did

80
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: not bring back the Lombardi Trophy to the NFC Wes.

81
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: But I'll say this, Kyle, they certainly in that first

82
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: half they outplayed the Chiefs. Didn't outscore them by a ton,

83
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: only up seven at halftime, but they were the better

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: team on both sides. Yet, you just can't have mistakes

85
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: to lost fumbles, block Pat and you keep the door

86
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: open for Patrick Mahomes. He's gonna walk through it and

87
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 4: close it behind him.

88
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's why it's so important during the regular season.

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 7: You know, coaches lament failures in the red zone. You've

90
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 7: got to capitalize on scoring opportunities. And when you're playing

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 7: a team like the Chiefs, you know field goals aren't

92
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 7: gonna cut it.

93
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 6: Particularly late in the game.

94
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 7: You knew, you know with that that the Chiefs are

95
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 7: going to march down the field and at least match

96
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 7: with a field goal. And then in overtime, when the

97
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 7: Niners started with the field goal, you knew it wasn't

98
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 7: going to be enough. It's it's what they do. It's

99
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 7: what Patrick Mahomes does. He is if nothing else, if

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 7: his numbers don't jump off the sheet, he is clutch

101
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 7: and he comes up big. And their offense got going

102
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 7: when it needed to get going in you know, they

103
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 7: stuck with their process. I think again, I'll touch on

104
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 7: this a little bit later, but Andy Reid's play calling

105
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 7: a couple of times in that game to take advantage

106
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 7: of opportunities, to advantage of Dre Greenlaw when he got hurt,

107
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 7: you bringing a backup linebacker, and that's why Travis Kelce

108
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 7: went off in the second half. I mean, Fred Warner

109
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 7: couldn't stop the run and cover Travis Kelsey by himself

110
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 7: and then you know, to me, I'll just go over

111
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 7: it now. But early in the game they ran a

112
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 7: zone read and Patrick Mahomes took off and I think

113
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 7: it was like a twenty two yard run.

114
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 6: He knew.

115
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 7: They knew through their scout and they knew the way

116
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 7: they played, Nick Bosa was going to chase the running

117
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 7: back and be wide open for Patrick Mahomes to pick

118
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 7: it up. And then a crucial fourth and one in

119
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 7: the in the overtime period, the exact same play, they

120
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 7: pick up seven yards, get the first down and keep

121
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 7: the chains moving. I mean to me, it was just

122
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 7: a masterful job of coaching.

123
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 4: We talked a lot about it, and Paul you brought

124
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 4: up bringing it back to the Arizona Cardinals as far

125
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 4: as running the same play but maybe a different look,

126
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: a different formation, or what your options are. Okay, well

127
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: this was open. Let's do it again, even though we

128
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: went with options see the first time around. Drew Petsing

129
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: told by Jonathan Gannon, Hey, don't be afraid to run

130
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: the same play twice, even though it might be a

131
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: different look or instead of a run, it's a throw.

132
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: No doubt, And I love the run pass option that

133
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 5: they gave Patrick Mahomes, especially in that second half, it

134
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 5: was really effective. Gee, can you think of another athletic

135
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 5: quarterback that would be really a yes? Kyler Murray. And

136
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: so when I was watching that, I'm like, you know,

137
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 5: there are many guys you can put in the category

138
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 5: with Patrick Mahomes. Maybe nobody, but to a large degree,

139
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray is one of the few guys where you

140
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 5: could call similar plays and you could get away with

141
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 5: an offense that operates in a similar fashion. And so

142
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 5: if I'm Kyler Murray, I'm watching that game and just

143
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: the ability Patrick Mahomes to really keep the run in

144
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 5: his hip pocket until it's a critical situation, until you

145
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 5: almost lull the defense to sleep. So like, you know what,

146
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 5: he's not running the ball today, Oh no, it's third

147
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 5: and critical, fourth and critical, and there he goes when

148
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 5: he notices the defense has his back to him or

149
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 5: they get him on the move the run pass option,

150
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 5: and it's just virtually unstoppable at that point when he

151
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: has multiple receivers in that same side of the field

152
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 5: and the ability to run it.

153
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 7: And you talk about repeat plays. Look going back to

154
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 7: last year's Super Bowl against the Eagles, they scored two

155
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 7: touchdowns in the red zone off of what they called

156
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 7: the corn dog motion, where you take your one of

157
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 7: your fastest receivers send him like he's going on a

158
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 7: jet sweep. He slams on the brakes and out leverages

159
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 7: the cornerback into the flat. And it was happening in

160
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 7: his man coverage against the Eagles, but this time it

161
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 7: was his own coverage to win the game. To me,

162
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 7: Cole Hardeman, he comes in motion, all eyes go to him,

163
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 7: Both tight ends go out on a route to set

164
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 7: a quote unquote pick, and he's wide opening the flat

165
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 7: because he outleveraged the cornerback. I mean that's again, you know,

166
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 7: it's it's coaching masterpiece.

167
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: To me.

168
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 7: You held that play until it mattered the most in

169
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 7: overtime and to score the touchdown to win the Super Bowl.

170
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: Or you're setting up something later in the game of

171
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: play that you run in the first half for a

172
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: play to be run in the second half. Speaking of coaching,

173
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 4: and this is now the second time that Kyle Shannon

174
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: has lost in the Super Bowl in overtime. Obviously an

175
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons when they lost to

176
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: the Patriot twenty eight to three, and the second time

177
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: that Shanahan has lost to Patrick Mahomes in the Super

178
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: Bowl with a ten point lead four years ago with

179
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers. The Chiefs overcame that ten point

180
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: deficit and one and now all the talk about Shanahan

181
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 4: is one, can you win the Big one?

182
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 8: Paul?

183
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: And then two did he cost his team a potential

184
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: win in the Super Bowl based off the decision to

185
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 4: receive to begin overtime?

186
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were a couple of inexplicable moments like the

187
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 5: third and fourth and nine and overtime and Chris Jones

188
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 5: is unblocked.

189
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 6: How does that happen?

190
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 5: You don't win a Super Bowl when ninety five is

191
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 5: unblocked with a Super Bowl on the line. So that

192
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 5: was the first head scratcher. And then you go into

193
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 5: overtime and I got it at first. Okay, your defense

194
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: might be gassed, so you're gonna keep him on the side.

195
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 5: Now you're gonna take the ball. But this essentially has

196
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 5: morphed and evolved into the college football format, the manner

197
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 5: in which each team gets a possession, and almost uniformly

198
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 5: across the college game, every single coach that wins the

199
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 5: toss Deffers and Kansas City explaining it after the game

200
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: was well, okay, at least we know what we need,

201
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 5: and I know Kyle Shanahan's explanation was, well, we were

202
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: playing for the third possession of the game when it's

203
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 5: truly sudden death. Well, in the eyes of Kansas City, no,

204
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: it's never going to get to that third possession because

205
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 5: even if you go touchdown, we'll respond needing a touchdown,

206
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 5: and if we do score that touchdown, we do have

207
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 5: a two point conversion in our hip pocket, so we

208
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 5: never ultimately have to give you the ball in a

209
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 5: sudden death situation. So, with everything being said, it just

210
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 5: was a bad look all the way around. Aid the thinking,

211
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 5: the analytics, they said it was predetermined they were going

212
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 5: that route before the game ever started, So I guess

213
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 5: you can throw out the whole defense thing out the

214
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 5: window because they said they were going that way, that

215
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 5: was their pregame decision. And then afterwards to hear guys

216
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 5: like Kyle Uschek, an ivy leaguer, a veteran, say you

217
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 5: didn't even know the overtime rules? Was there a failure

218
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: of the coaching staff to even educate and in form

219
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: their own players.

220
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 4: I can understand a defensive player maybe not knowing the

221
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: overtime rules, but to Paul's point, Kyle Uschak not knowing

222
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 4: and then Chiefs players postgame Chris Jones, Oh, yeah, we

223
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: discussed this in the offseason. We were well aware of

224
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: what we were going to do, and when we saw

225
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: that they were gonna receive, hey, that plays right into

226
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 4: our hands as the Chiefs ultimately won the ball game.

227
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

228
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 7: Look, I've been in those meetings. You talk about things

229
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 7: that you think are never going to happen, and players

230
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 7: roll their eyes. You kind of get bored with all

231
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 7: of it because you know, you want to know. You

232
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 7: want to prepare for the main things. You want to

233
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 7: prepare for third and long. You're prepare for what they're

234
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 7: going to do on third and short, things like that.

235
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 7: But you know, these situations when they come up in

236
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 7: the biggest moments, you need to be prepared for them

237
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 7: and be able to execute. And again, you know, to me, look,

238
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 7: I think the forty nine ers have a fantastic coaching staff,

239
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 7: but I do think the Gallut coaching this game, and

240
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 7: I don't think it was just you know, the decision

241
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 7: in overtime. You know, it seemed like every time the

242
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 7: Chiefs blitzed, something good happened for the Chiefs. You know,

243
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 7: McDuffie came free, knocked the ball down on a critical

244
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 7: third down in the fourth quarter, Whereas when the Niners

245
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 7: blitzed five times in the second half, Patrick Mahomes was

246
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 7: five for five versus the blitz. They had quick answers,

247
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 7: they knew where to go with the ball, they recognized

248
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 7: the blitz. And to me, that comes down to film study,

249
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 7: It comes down to practice reps. It comes down to

250
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 7: being prepared for anything and everything that might happen throughout

251
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 7: the course of a game, so that the little things

252
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 7: at the end of the game all that up and

253
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 7: you come out with the victory.

254
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, in that first half, what did the forty nine

255
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 5: ers do? They rushed for and they dropped seven and

256
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes wasn't nearly as effective as sort of the

257
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 5: Kurt Warner effect. You know what, blitz me, please please

258
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 5: bring the blitz because I'm gonna find the open guy instantly.

259
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: And then, conversely to Kyle's point, I'd written this down

260
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 5: in my notes as well. Just didn't seem like brock

261
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: Perty was equipped to face those blitzes and fifty percent

262
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 5: of his pass attempts in the second half. The analytics

263
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 5: said he faced numbers that they brought it, and Niners

264
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 5: didn't have a real good response, which is shocking because

265
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 5: they have the best group of weapons to get the ball.

266
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 5: Just get it out, read you'r hot, get the ball

267
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 5: into space, just throw it where the blitzer came from,

268
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 5: with guys like Deebo Samuel and Brandon Iuk and George Kittle,

269
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 5: and they just were never able to execute that. Here's

270
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 5: the big picture though, to me, with the forty nine ers,

271
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 5: once upon a time, that Seahawks juggernaut was torn apart

272
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 5: from the inside out by the failure at the goal

273
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 5: line and the lost Super Bowl at State Farm Stadium.

274
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 5: The malfeasans the derelict of duty to not give it

275
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: to Beast mode at the goal line. Instead they throw

276
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: the interception. It seals a Super Bowl win for Tom

277
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 5: Brady and Bell Belichick, and that Seahawks team was never

278
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 5: the same because guys like Richard Sherman thought that the

279
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 5: poor coaching cost them a ring. I'd really love to

280
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: know with some of the veterans in that Niners locker

281
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 5: room are thinking right now, did those poor decisions cost

282
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 5: us a ring? And will that be a problem internally

283
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: that culture going forward, because once again, that Seahawks team

284
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: was never quite the same. Four years ago, everyone pointed

285
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 5: to Jimmy Garoppolo not being able to carry the forty

286
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 5: nine ers to a Super Bowl championship. But to Paul's point,

287
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 5: now maybe it's not finger pointing to those players in

288
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 5: the locker room, but now it's coaching didn't put us

289
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 5: in position to potentially win Lamardi Trophy.

290
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, but the players aren't exempt from the blame either. Again,

291
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 7: the reason I would have bet on the Niners before

292
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 7: the game is, I mean, it's a roster full of

293
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 7: all pros and Pro Bowlers, right it just have so

294
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 7: much talent. But in the biggest games, big time players

295
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 7: need to play the best. Who had phenomenal games. Patrick

296
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 7: Mahomes had a great game, Chris Jones had a great game.

297
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 7: I think Nick Bosa had a great game. He had

298
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 7: ten pressures. Outside of that, you got Deebo Samuel with

299
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 7: three catch, got Brandon Ayuk with three catches. You got

300
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 7: George Kittle with one catch. Christian McAffrey hired one hundred

301
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 7: and sixty all purpose yards, but they were tough yards.

302
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 7: I mean, he was not getting the explosive plays that

303
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 7: you typically see from him throughout the season. And really,

304
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 7: of all the All pros, I mean, very few on

305
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 7: the Niners sideline or on the Niners team really stepped

306
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 7: up and had elite games. But this is just what

307
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes does in the biggest moments. He makes the

308
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 7: plays he needs to make.

309
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: All Right, if the forty nine Ers do win that ballgame,

310
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: who's your MVP. It's not brock Perty, it's not Christian McCaffery,

311
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: it's not Deebo Samuel, it's not George Kittle. Dare I

312
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: say it's Juwan Jennings. Not an All Pro, not a

313
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: pro bowler, But he was the one that really stepped

314
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: up for the forty nine Ers in that game.

315
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, throwing a touchdown pass, catching a touchdown pass. That's

316
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 5: a great point. I also like Kyle's point earlier about

317
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 5: the loss of Drake Greenlaw because if you go back

318
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: to the second game Cardinals and Niners, Trey McBride torched

319
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 5: Fred Warner early in the game for a thirty yard catch,

320
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: and then they made the adjustment they put green Law

321
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 5: on Trey McBride. He did a much better job the

322
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 5: rest of the game. When you saw you saw Travis

323
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: kelcey go off in that second half. A lot that

324
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 5: had to do with the fact that Warner was on

325
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: him instead of green Law.

326
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 4: Chiefs win their second straight Super Bowl, third and five years.

327
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 4: We'll put that into perspective as we continue. Here is

328
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: the Cardinals Red Sea Report on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

329
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 8: Thirteen seconds to go in the overtime twenty two to

330
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 8: nineteen San Francisco McKinnon has hit up running back, first

331
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 8: down and goal to go, play action.

332
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: Fake right touchdown Kansas City the.

333
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 8: Col Hartman, the Cole Hartman with the catch on the

334
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 8: right side a three yard touchdown passing overtime. Kansas City

335
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 8: wins the game twenty five, twenty two, and the Chiefs

336
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 8: Kingdom has started its own history class because for the

337
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 8: first time in six thousand, nine hundred, in forty four days,

338
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 8: there is a back to back Super Bowl champion and

339
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 8: it is the Kansas City Chiefs.

340
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 4: Mentioned it earlier here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report,

341
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: presented by a seat Geek your Ticket to Great Seats.

342
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: Not since the New England Patriots in two thousand and three,

343
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 4: two thousand and four, has the NFL seen a repeat winner.

344
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 6: In the Super Bowl.

345
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 4: Mitch Holtis on the Chiefs radio network and almost immediately

346
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 4: in postgame talk of a three peats, and that now

347
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: is the carrot dangling in front of the Kansas City

348
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: Chiefs going into twenty twenty four, and right now, I

349
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 4: wouldn't put anything past them, Paul.

350
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: And I'm not surprised. Jay Feely telling the story as

351
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 5: the sideline reporter in the production meetings before Super Bowl

352
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: fifty eight of Travis Kelcey and Patrick Mahomes who met

353
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 5: with the announcers together openly discussing a three peat. This

354
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 5: is before they won their second in a row, so

355
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 5: it's definitely on their mind and always if you're a

356
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 5: motivated Patrick Mahomes, we talked about being installed as an

357
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 5: underdog last three playoff games and how that motivated them,

358
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 5: how they cited that, well, guess what, the first NFL

359
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 5: team ever the three peat. Yeah, that's going to be

360
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 5: ample motivation for that team and that crew all next season.

361
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: And to do it in this NFL where you have

362
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: a salary cap, players want to get paid. Chris Jones

363
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: wants to get paid this offseason, but I got the

364
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 4: feeling that he wants to be back in part of

365
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: history again as long as.

366
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 6: The dollars all work out.

367
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 4: But it is very difficult Kyle to keep something sustained

368
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 4: like the New England Patriots did back in the day.

369
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: The Pittsburgh Steelers are always in the playoffs, but they're

370
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 4: not nearly as good as the Kansas City Chiefs. But

371
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 4: they have Andy Reid, they have Patrick Mahomes, they have

372
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: Travis Kelce and this year, if I read correctly, they

373
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: had the second youngest defense in the league and it

374
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 4: was the number two scoring defense in the league. They're

375
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 4: not going anywhere.

376
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 7: No, you're exactly right. Look, it's extremely hard to repeat

377
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 7: for a lot of reasons. One, like you talked about,

378
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 7: you typically lose players of free agency. It's their opportunity

379
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 7: to get paid. Everybody wants a piece of a winner.

380
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 7: They want a piece of that leadership that comes with

381
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 7: winning the Super Bowl.

382
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 6: So that's part of it.

383
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 7: You know, Typically teams draft, they do free agency evaluations

384
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 7: to win their division. However, the AFC, I can promise

385
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 7: you the Cincinnati Bengals, the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins,

386
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 7: they want to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs.

387
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 7: They're trying to upgrade personnel to match what can counteract

388
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 7: what the Chiefs do well. They're not necessarily worried about

389
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 7: winning their own divisions. They need to figure out a

390
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 7: way to advance in the playoffs. And you know, this

391
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 7: run this postseason was more impressive than any other. I

392
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 7: mean typically they have home field, they have home field

393
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 7: and AFC Championship game. They play in some tough environments,

394
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 7: played at Buffalo, played at Baltimore, played against the league MVP.

395
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 7: You know it's and they're built to sustain. I mean,

396
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 7: they they just need a couple of upgrades on offense

397
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 7: and they could be right back to where they were

398
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 7: offensively a couple of years ago. But their defense is

399
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 7: so good, so you know they have all the pieces

400
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 7: in place to you know, two three pete.

401
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 6: However, you know you.

402
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 7: And Travis Kelcey lamented this in some of his interviews.

403
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 7: You're getting everybody's best shot, and that's what they're gonna

404
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 7: get again next year. Teams to to beat the back

405
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 7: to back Super Bowl champs, even in the regular season,

406
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 7: you know it, if you don't advance in the playoffs.

407
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 7: In the end it's meaningless, but in the moment, it

408
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 7: means everything.

409
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 4: Health plays a large part in this as well. I

410
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 4: just see a team that has a quarterback who's twenty

411
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 4: eight years old, he knows nothing but advancing to the

412
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 4: Championship game as a starting quarterback and now has put

413
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 4: his name in the conversation of a Tom Brady, a

414
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: joum Montana the only quarterbacks to have three Super Bowl MVPs,

415
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 4: Brady with five. It's just a machine and they plug

416
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 4: in pieces.

417
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 6: One.

418
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 4: They draft very well, and then they supplements those holes

419
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 4: that they have and they find guys because you're paying

420
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 4: Mahomes a lot of money, You're paying Travis Kelcey a

421
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 4: lot of money and probably gonna pay Chris Jones a

422
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: lot of money.

423
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 5: They got rid of his All Pro receiver Tyreek Hill,

424
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 5: one of the most dynamic weapons in the league. And

425
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 5: what have they done since? Won two Super Bowls in

426
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 5: a row. And they did it with the receiving crew

427
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 5: this year that led the NFL in the regular season

428
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 5: and drop passes forty four drops. And yet Patrick Mahomes

429
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 5: was patient enough with that crew. They lost five out

430
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 5: of eight. At one point they had that miserable, embarrassing

431
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 5: loss to the Raiders on Christmas Day that everyone saw,

432
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: and then to believe all the stories coming out of that,

433
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 5: they realize, you know what, we have to simplify the scheme.

434
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 5: Andy Reid was smart enough to realize, Okay, this isn't working.

435
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: Too many mental mistakes, too many gas by the receivers.

436
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 5: I might understand that Patrick Mahomes might, but we're not

437
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: executed because these receivers don't get it. They simplified things.

438
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 5: They went on a roll at the end of the season.

439
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 5: They went into the playoffs as a ten to one shot,

440
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 5: and then they rolled through. We knew the whole narrative.

441
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 5: Patrick Malomes has never played a true playoff road game.

442
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 5: That was motivation. Then he was installed as an underdog.

443
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 5: But as long as you have Patrick Mahomes, you're able

444
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 5: to change things. And you know you're going to the playoffs,

445
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 5: especially in that division, then guess what, you can use

446
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 5: the regular season as a preseason of sorts. And then

447
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: he entered the postseason playing your best ball. And that's

448
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 5: exactly what Kansas City did this postseason.

449
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 4: Don't let Mahomes have an opportunity to beat you, whether

450
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 4: that's late in games or in overtime. It's the same

451
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: thing people said about Joe Montana. It's the same thing

452
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: people said about Tom Brady because on that final game

453
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 4: winning drive, yep, Mahomes eight for eight plus an eight

454
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 4: yard run on fourth and.

455
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 5: One, and to believe all the analysts and everyone who

456
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 5: broke it down there, he was changing plays with the

457
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage, changing the pass protections. He was getting

458
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 5: them into exactly what they needed to run in view

459
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 5: of the defense. So he was responding. So now, not

460
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 5: only do you have the most talented quarterback in the league,

461
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 5: ultra experience, been in the big moments, playoff tested, three

462
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 5: Super Bowl MVPs. It's that same Joe Montana dynamic when

463
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 5: he won two in a row eight and eighty nine

464
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 5: and then his health failed him. You got a guy

465
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: who's not even thirty years.

466
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 6: Of age, So look out.

467
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 5: And especially on a division you can talk about Sean Payne,

468
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 5: we can talk about, you know, the Raiders, but the

469
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: Raiders don't have a quarterback. Broncos don't have a quarterback.

470
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: What's Jim Harbaugh going to be able to do realistically

471
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: with that Chargers team that's light in the trenches. So

472
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 5: once again, it all lines up. It truly does unless

473
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 5: to me, the biggest threat right now in the AFC

474
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 5: is a healthy Joe Burrow, and you would think that

475
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 5: Cincinnati is going to double down on that offensive line

476
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 5: and try and.

477
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: Keep him up right, A lot of the talented quarterbacks,

478
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 4: talented quarterbacks are in the AFC. But Lamar Jackson doesn't

479
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 4: have a super Bowl, Joe Burrow doesn't have a super Bowl.

480
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 4: Josh Allen doesn't have a super Bowl. It continues to

481
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 4: be one name and one name only when you talk

482
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 4: about AFC elite quarterbacks that always comes out.

483
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 6: And this year Kyle was.

484
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 4: Supposed to be the down year for the chief. Someone

485
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: else was supposed to ascend and take that mail. This

486
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 4: was supposed to be Lamar Jackson's year, Josh Allen's year,

487
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow's year. He here we are talking about Patrick

488
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 4: Mahomes again.

489
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, again, it's the clutch gene that he has. I mean,

490
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 7: he's he is athletic, he is smart, he's seen it all,

491
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 7: he's been through it all.

492
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 6: He's you know, he's had big leads.

493
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 7: He's come back from behind, dealt with every kind of

494
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 7: adversity and in the end, with the ball in his hands,

495
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 7: he finds a way.

496
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 6: And it's it's part playoff experience.

497
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 7: You know, you don't ever get the feeling that, no

498
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 7: matter what's happening around him, that his heart rate is elevated.

499
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 7: I mean, he's calm, He goes out there, takes care

500
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 7: of business, plays with poise, and just does whatever it

501
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 7: takes to find a way to win in the end.

502
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: And I think that's an important lesson not only for

503
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray, but the other quarterbacks around the league, because yeah,

504
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 4: you need talent around you, but it's sometimes not always

505
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: the athleticism, but the decision making that sets quarterbacks apart.

506
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 4: Tom Brady wasn't the most athletic, but he had the

507
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: best brain football brain out there. And I think right now, Paul,

508
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 4: you're seeing kind of a combination of both with Mahomes.

509
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 5: And it's managed your emotions, right, It's that behavior as

510
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 5: a true franchise quarterback. We saw with Kurt Warner, we

511
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 5: saw it with Carson Palmer. So even in the Super

512
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 5: Bowl itself, you got Travis Kelcey losing his mind early

513
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 5: in that game, going and bowl rushing as head coach

514
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 5: and making contact I mean, that's a third rail. You

515
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 5: don't do that with a head coach almost knocked over

516
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 5: a sixty five year old man and made him drop

517
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 5: his play sheet, and then late in the game where

518
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 5: she Rice was all indignant, right and losing his mind.

519
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 5: So you have a Patrick Mahomes who's able to calm

520
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 5: everyone down. I threw this out there and I couldn't

521
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: even believe this stat During the regular season, this is

522
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 5: Associated Press reported that in the clutch, Patrick Mahomes was

523
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 5: just eighteen and forty seven for a Bucks sixty seven,

524
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 5: no touchdowns in a pick that was with a chance

525
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 5: to tire or take the lead in the fourth quarter

526
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 5: or overtime. I'm presuming that really wasn't on Patrick Mahomes.

527
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 5: That was on the receivers. That was on the offense.

528
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 5: And so his patience level and able to be a

529
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 5: teacher and be that guy to bring everyone. We know

530
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 5: how it worked around here when Kurt Warner and Carson

531
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 5: Palmer on those Friday practices were essentially running practice themselves.

532
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 5: Bruce Arians used to outsource it to Carson Palmer. Well, now,

533
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 5: not only do you have an all Pro quarterback and

534
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 5: the best QB in the game in terms of skill set.

535
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 5: But you have that guy who's able to run a team,

536
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 5: run an offense like that true veteran who would be

537
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 5: in his mid to late thirties, except he's in his

538
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 5: late twenties.

539
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 4: And the trust that the quarterback has to have in

540
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: his teammates.

541
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, you might drop.

542
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 4: A ball, run around raw, run a wrong route, but

543
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: you haven't. You don't forget about him. You'll come back

544
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 4: to him later. Maybe it's the later in the season

545
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 4: or later in that particular game.

546
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, the trust came back, it seems like with everybody

547
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 7: except Kadarius Tony. And to Pauli's point that it was

548
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 7: such a big deal when Patrick Mahomes was caught on

549
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 7: a hot mic with his response to the call of

550
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 7: that penalty, which was a legit call, it was so

551
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 7: uncharacteristic of him to blame.

552
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 6: The loss on the officials after they lost to Buffalo.

553
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 7: It was at the regular season when Cadarius Tony was

554
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 7: lined up off south and it was just shocking, and

555
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 7: it was like a one off, you know, and he

556
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 7: seemed to catch himself and realize, hey, that's not me.

557
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 6: That was out of character. I don't need to act like.

558
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 7: That because when you're the quarterback and you're the leader

559
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 7: of a franchise, you've got to carry yourself a different

560
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 7: way than everybody else.

561
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: What happens next, specifically within the NFC West, we'll discuss

562
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 4: that next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

563
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: Murray changing the play lay. Clock is at six. Murray

564
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: backs up in a shotgun, takes the snap, and he

565
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: hands it off Connor up the middle and Connor's into

566
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: the end zone for the touchdown. He had two two

567
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: weeks ago against the Steelers. And he caps a great

568
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 2: opening drive on the Cardinals with another touchdown, six nothing, Arizona.

569
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: Ding Dong, James Connor calling, that's exactly what you want

570
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 3: to see. To cap that first possession, you run the

571
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: inside play, Trey McBride seals the backside, and you walk

572
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: in upright. James Connor getting it done, baby.

573
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 4: And getting it done against the San Francisco forty nine

574
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: ers earlier this season. As we say welcome back, it

575
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: is the Cardinals Red Seat Report presented by SeatGeek, Your

576
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 4: ticket to Great Seats, Craig Reia, Lupaulk, Calvc Covin and Bosh.

577
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 4: We are here every Tuesday eleven am year round, and yes,

578
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: the offseason is officially upon us for all thirty two teams.

579
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 4: Is right now, we kind of look what is going

580
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 4: on within the NFC West and our division rivals, and

581
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 4: the one head coaching change within the division came from Seattle.

582
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 4: And I'll admit this, Kylee did not see this one coming.

583
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 4: But Pete Carroll outs as head coach and again didn't

584
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 4: sound like this was his decision, but he is no

585
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 4: longer the head coach after four seasons, and now in Seattle,

586
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 4: maybe still with that defensive mindset. They've got Mike McDonald

587
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 4: who will call defensive plays. The former Ravens defensive coordinator

588
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: is now a first year head coach with the Seattle Seahawks.

589
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's interesting because, yeah, they stuck on the defensive side.

590
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,959
Speaker 6: Of the ball with their head coach. Everybody expected.

591
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 7: I think, at least I did, the dan Quinn hire

592
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 7: just because he had been there before and he just

593
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 7: kind of felt like it would kind of be run

594
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 7: the same way as when Pete Carroll was a head coach.

595
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 7: But they wanted to change. They brought in someone young.

596
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 7: They brought in someone who has really, you know, done

597
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 7: great things with the Baltimore Ravens defense over the last

598
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 7: couple of years. The number numbers are phenomenal, and I mean, really,

599
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 7: if you look back at the Seattle Seahawks this past season,

600
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 7: the offense was fine. They have playmakers, you know, a

601
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 7: good running game, they have a good receiving corps. But

602
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 7: at times that defense was awful, particularly late in the year,

603
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 7: both scheme wise and just to me watching games, effort

604
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 7: and tackling.

605
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 6: Was was atrocious.

606
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 7: So you know, you get the feeling that that's something

607
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 7: that they felt like they needed to change, and that's

608
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 7: something that Mike McDonald's defense is.

609
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 6: You didn't see that.

610
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 7: You didn't see issues with defense or with tackling, you

611
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 7: don't see issues with effort on defense. There everybody's buttoned up,

612
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 7: and you know, you look at the things that he

613
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 7: was able to do against you know, some of the

614
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 7: high powered offenses in the AFC.

615
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 6: With his defense, it was it was impressive.

616
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 7: So you can expect at least, you know, it's while

617
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 7: it's it's impossible to expect a Legion of Doom type

618
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 7: turnaround where you have the top defense in the league

619
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 7: four years in a row. That side of the ball

620
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 7: needed to be addressed, and it will be addressed with

621
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 7: this head coach.

622
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: Twenty twenty two, Seattle was dead last against the run.

623
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 5: They were horrific, and then last year thirty first against

624
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: the run. So if coach Double Rainbow is wondering why

625
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 5: he's no longer the head coach of Seattle, why he

626
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 5: was dismissed. He's a defensive guy. It's his system. He

627
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 5: wasn't able to remedy it. They finished thirtieth in total

628
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 5: yards allowed, twenty fifth in scoring d So now they

629
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 5: bring in Mike McDonald literally half his age, thirty six.

630
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 5: He gets a six year deal. The GM John Schneider

631
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 5: kind of used this as similar to win the hired

632
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 5: Pete Carroll. He called Mike McDonald quote a disruptor and

633
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 5: said that he want someone who's going to quote change

634
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 5: the marketplace. Mike McDonald came in and he said, you

635
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 5: know what, the spirit of how we play and the

636
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 5: principles of how we play I'm quoting now what you've

637
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 5: seen on the tape in Baltimore will be the same,

638
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 5: but I can't guarantee you the scheme outa be the

639
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 5: same here because I'm not sure what we're good at yet.

640
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 5: And exactly what players he's going to have. But you

641
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 5: have to figure out that they're gonna double down on

642
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage because to Kyle's point, they do

643
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: have a lot of weapons. They have some good corners,

644
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 5: ridiculous corners, but they need to be better in their

645
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 5: front seven and they need to be better along the

646
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage. Two really physical running backs. So I'm

647
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 5: very curious to see what the Seahawks look like next year.

648
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 5: In the best guess is they're gonna look a lot

649
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 5: like the Ravens Brandon football.

650
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 4: Well, they've got a handful of free agents on that

651
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: defensive side as well, Leonard Williams, Jordan Brooks, Bobby Wagner,

652
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 4: Devin Bush. So changes are coming within the Seattle Seahawks.

653
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 4: The other major change within the NFC West, let's go

654
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 4: to the Rams. As far as Raheem Morris hired to

655
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 4: be the Falcons head coach, the former defensive coordinator under

656
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 4: Sean McVay, and oh, by the way, he also took

657
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 4: Zach Robinson with him, the Rams pass game coordinator to

658
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: be a OC and assistant head coach Jimmy Lake to

659
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: be his DC. The Rams did promote Chris Shula to

660
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: become defensive coordinator. Previously the linebackers coach and pass rush coordinator.

661
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 4: He's been on that defensive staff since McVeigh arrived in

662
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: LA in twenty seventeen. But this is not the first time, Kyle,

663
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 4: We've seen McVeigh lose assistance and a number of assistants

664
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 4: and he just finds new people or familiar faces that

665
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 4: he brings back and they just keep moving right along

666
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 4: once again in the mix this past season to be

667
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 4: a playoff team. And I'm curious now with another change

668
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 4: within his staff with the Rams do team's getting older

669
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 4: as well, especially with Matthew Stafford and an Aaron Donald.

670
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

671
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 7: And you know, even though they don't have high draft

672
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 7: picks because of some of the decisions they made in

673
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 7: the past, they do draft well. You look at pukin

674
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 7: Nakua and what he was able to do and some

675
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 7: of the other younger players on defense. So you know,

676
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 7: to me, they were the surprise team of our division

677
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 7: the way they were competitive, the way they did, you

678
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 7: know late in the season, have an opportunity to.

679
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 6: Make the playoffs.

680
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 7: It's and the the defensive coordinator higher to me is

681
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 7: a little interesting. Under Sean McVeigh. Every time he's brought

682
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 7: in a defensive coordinators from the outside, so you know,

683
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 7: it shows that he liked what they were doing. They

684
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 7: want some continuity with their system. They want to continue

685
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 7: to build ad pieces. But again to your point, with

686
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 7: an aging Aaron Donald, with an aging Matthew Stafford, those

687
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 7: are a couple of, you know, premier players that are

688
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 7: in the twilight of their careers. They're gonna have to

689
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 7: find some young difference makers at some point. They're gonna

690
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 7: have to come in and add them to the team.

691
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 5: They have the second youngest roster in the NFL. Despite

692
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford and Aaron Donald. They really hit the reset

693
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 5: button on a lot. And it wasn't just Pookin Akoola

694
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 5: being your NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year runner up

695
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 5: to ce J Strout a fifth round pick, but they

696
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 5: really hit a home run in the third round with

697
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 5: Byron Young and Kobe Turner, you know, putting them on

698
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 5: that defensive front along with Aaron Donald. Those guys really

699
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 5: good and to come out around three. So they made

700
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 5: the most of the picks they had and they restructured.

701
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 5: They fixed the offensive line, They found an answer at

702
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 5: left tackle. They the interior of the offensive line was

703
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 5: no longer the liability it had been the year before.

704
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 5: And then you saw Matthew Stafford and you saw the

705
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 5: run they gave the Lions in the postseason. So the

706
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 5: Rams are here to stay. And then obviously the Cardinals

707
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 5: have their challenges historically against Sean McVay, four different Cardinals

708
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 5: head coaches, and there's one win to show for it.

709
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 6: Over the years.

710
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been a constant hurdle for the Arizona Cardinals.

711
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 4: The last team to speak of the forty nine Ers. Again,

712
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 4: their season just ended, but according to reports, they're going

713
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 4: to lose their pass game coordinator Klint Kubiak to become

714
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 4: the OC in New Orleans. And then we saw what

715
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 4: happened in the Super Bowl. Drake Greenlaw tore his achilles.

716
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 4: How long is he going to be out? This forty

717
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 4: nine ers team does have eleven draft picks, so they

718
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: have some infusion of some youth coming in. But they

719
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: do still have Rock pretty under a very cheap contract

720
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 4: for at least one more season.

721
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 5: Making less than a million per year. He has his roommate,

722
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 5: I would say with the playoff incentives and all the

723
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 5: endorsements coming from the Super Bowl, he'll be able to

724
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 5: get his own place. We'll see about that, but yes,

725
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 5: in terms of that front seven, it's still elite. What

726
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 5: are they going to do with some of those free agents?

727
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 5: Chase Young included. Some of those guys are Randy Gregory,

728
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 5: So there are some guys who are scheduled to hit

729
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 5: the open market. And we'll see what sort of they

730
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 5: have Withfanga coming back their Pro Bowl safety and you know,

731
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 5: Charvarius Ward is a Pro Bowl corner. So they have

732
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 5: players at every level on both sides.

733
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: Of the ball.

734
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 4: And I know they've paid a lot to Christian McCaffrey,

735
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 4: Trent Williams, George.

736
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 6: Kittle, Nick Bosa.

737
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 4: Do they pay Brandon Ayuk, who's eligible for a contract

738
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 4: extension this offseason as well?

739
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 6: You can't pay.

740
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 4: Everyone, but you do need players, especially wide receivers for

741
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 4: that offense of Kyle Shanahan to run. Speaking of offense,

742
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray and what he needs to do here in

743
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 4: year two under Jonathan Gannon and company, that's next here

744
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 4: on the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

745
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: Share.

746
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: We have some Murray magic here. The Cardinals will need it.

747
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: Snap to Murray short sent looks left, throws left. Carter

748
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: caught it at the five turns left, breaks a tackle

749
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: into the end zone for the touchdown. Snap to Murray,

750
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 2: three step drop Lookie steps up, spins away from Sweat,

751
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: now backs up near his twenty floats at left side

752
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 2: into the end zone.

753
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 6: One headed catch for a touchdown.

754
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: By James Connor.

755
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 9: What a grab by Connor and what a throw by

756
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 9: a back peddling Kyler Murray. Escaping pressure, snap to Murray,

757
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 9: flits coming, Murray backing up, floats into the end zone.

758
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 9: Middle of the end zone, pulled in by Wilson for

759
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 9: a touchdown. What a throw by Kyler Murray facing pressure.

760
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 9: Murray has been brilliant here in the second half. His

761
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 9: third touchdown pass. The Kyler Murray.

762
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: That we saw two years ago when the Cardinals started

763
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 2: seven to zero and ten and two has arrived today

764
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia, third touchdown pass.

765
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 6: Of a half.

766
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 4: Well, said Dave Pash, voice of the Arizona Cardinals, going

767
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 4: back to when the Cardinals visited Jonathan Gannon's former team,

768
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles on New Year's Eve Day, the Cardinals

769
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 4: winning that game thirty five thirty one. A darn near

770
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 4: perfect second half for Kyler Murray and that Cardinals offense.

771
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 4: Perhaps Kyle a sign of things to come. Do you

772
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 4: buy momentum from one season to the next, Maybe not,

773
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 4: But the confidence that Kyler Murray has now won in

774
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 4: his knee and two within this offense, because tangible proof,

775
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: a win in Pittsburgh, a win in Philadelphia, three and

776
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 4: five over those last eight games. But just how much

777
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 4: more comfortable Kyler looked, especially in those final games that

778
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 4: the Cardinals played with k one at quarterback.

779
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 6: You're exactly right, two good points.

780
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: Right.

781
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 6: The more he played, you could tell the comfort.

782
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 7: Level and his knee got better, and you know it's

783
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 7: not just it's not just him. Look, they did a

784
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 7: study about quarterbacks with acl injuries, and every single quarterback

785
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 7: had a fall in production from before the knee injury,

786
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 7: including Carson Palmer, Dante Culpeper, Tom Brady, Robert Griffin, the

787
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 7: third Carson Wentz, Deshaun Watson, Jimmy g Their first year back,

788
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 7: there was a drop in production. The only one whose

789
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 7: numbers went up was Joe Burrow. But the next year

790
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 7: their numbers returned to their normal level or higher. And

791
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 7: so you can expect, you know, with this offseason with

792
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 7: the confidence he had that he was able to play

793
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 7: eight games on his surgical surgically repaired knee, that that

794
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 7: will be better. And then the other point in Drew

795
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 7: Petsing's system, you could see his comfort level getting higher

796
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 7: and higher, more reps under center as he went along,

797
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 7: better production, more just confidence in carrying out the playfakes

798
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 7: and you know, using leaning on his run game to

799
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 7: set up the passing game and all of that. I

800
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 7: mean at the end of the season, I mean, the

801
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 7: numbers of this offense was putting up were phenomenal and

802
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 7: a lot of it was because of Kyler Murray and

803
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 7: his confidence and his ability to run Drew Petsing's offense.

804
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 4: Over the last three games, Kyler Murray nearly seventy two

805
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 4: percent completion percentage, six touchdowns, one interception. Head coach Jonathan

806
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 4: Gannon knows that they can win anytime k one is

807
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 4: on the field.

808
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 6: I really think Sky's the limit. I think that he

809
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 6: can hit another level. I know our team can. I

810
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 6: know the offense can. Yeah.

811
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 7: I mean with that guy playing quarterback for us, I

812
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 7: know we can win every game.

813
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 6: Hey, if you have a quarterback, you have a chance.

814
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 5: Paul and what happens when you put Kyler Murray in

815
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 5: a balanced offense? What happens when you put Kyler Murray

816
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 5: in an offense that features the fourth ranked run game,

817
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 5: second in rushing yards per carry. We always wondered that

818
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 5: out loud. We saw a glimpse of it two twenty one,

819
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 5: and what happened. Cardinals started seven to zero, ten and two,

820
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 5: and then things deteriorated from there. So to me, that

821
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 5: was the answer we got, especially in the final month

822
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 5: of the season. What did the Cardinals look like if

823
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 5: it's truly a balanced offense, Kyler's under center, giving different

824
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 5: options and dynamics to a defense. And so we got

825
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 5: a lot of those answers. And then to hear Jonathan

826
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 5: Gann in his final press commerce say we might just

827
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 5: tear down this offense. What does that mean? What's it

828
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 5: gonna look like next year? Very intriguing.

829
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 4: I don't know, I think most I think some of

830
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 4: that was a little tongue in cheek. Maybe it is

831
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 4: teared down because there's there's concepts that they ran that Okay,

832
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 4: this is successful, Let's keep it up. A full healthy

833
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray, a full offseason, and that's the big key

834
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 4: is this offseason where Kyler doesn't have to worry about

835
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 4: the knee or anything else physically.

836
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 5: How much did you want to install but you couldn't

837
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 5: because he was on the rehab trail. You know, how

838
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 5: much better can the chemistry be with the receivers? According

839
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 5: to Drew Stanton, who we talked to last week, a

840
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 5: lot this offseason is going to be so beneficial Kyler

841
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 5: and the receivers. And we saw anecdotal evidence of that

842
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 5: what the receivers were saying in the final few games,

843
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 5: where yes, they did get that chemistry, they did get

844
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 5: in sync with Kyler Murray and you saw the results.

845
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 5: There was most definitely a before and after the first

846
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 5: set of games by Kyler Murray in the final few games.

847
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 4: Speaking Drew Stanton last week against the Big Red Rage,

848
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 4: his thoughts on what he saw out of Kyler Murray

849
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 4: late in twenty twenty three.

850
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 10: I saw a guy that started to understand situational football

851
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 10: and so being able to kind of peel back those

852
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 10: layers and say, hey, this is why we're under center here,

853
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 10: this is why we're in this formation, expecting this kind

854
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 10: of coverage that setted it up with this and then

855
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 10: the light bulb comes on. Playing quarterback is far more

856
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 10: than just being a great athletes, and I think Kyler

857
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 10: has the ability to change pace on his throws. He

858
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 10: understands how the layer throws in, he understands coverage, he

859
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 10: understands all of these things. But being able to be

860
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 10: under center, being comfortable in that, and truly playing quarterbacks

861
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 10: as opposed to being an athlete playing quarterback in the

862
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 10: backyard football at times, I think that's where you start

863
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 10: to see some of these things in The excitement for

864
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 10: next year is really on the horizon.

865
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 4: Tyler has all the talent. He has a great arm,

866
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 4: his legs can beat you. Now, it's okay, can the

867
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 4: mind and the football like Q catch up to the

868
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 4: talent that he has. To Drew's point, Okay, looking at defenses,

869
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 4: making changes, we saw some of that late last season,

870
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 4: and just letting the game come to him, Kyle, and

871
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 4: realize that, Okay, I don't need to do everything. I've

872
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 4: got talent around me. Let's get the ball in the

873
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 4: hands of a James Connor, of Michael Wilson, a Trey McBride,

874
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 4: or whomever might be drafted or added in free agency.

875
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 4: Just doesn't have to be about the quarterback.

876
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, and on top of what Drew talked about,

877
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 7: and on top of the you know, his increase in

878
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 7: his knowledge of situational football and understanding that. You know,

879
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 7: we talked about this over and over, but his leadership

880
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 7: with this team, his poison. We talked about that with

881
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes earlier. Like, you know, his poise in clutch situations,

882
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 7: and you know he has that same clutch gene. You know,

883
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 7: you put the ball in his hands late in a

884
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 7: game with an opportunity to get a lead, he's gonna

885
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 7: do it. Right now, of active quarterbacks, he ranked seventeenth

886
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 7: and fourth quarter comebacks. Well that doesn't sound great, right,

887
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 7: but it's like Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, Ryan Tannehill,

888
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 7: Andy Dalton, all these guys have been in the league forever.

889
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 7: You know, we still have a young quarterback that has

890
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 7: that type of experience. The only player ahead of him

891
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 7: on the list that's younger is Justin Herbert. And so

892
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 7: we have this guy at quarterback. If you can keep

893
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 7: us close into a game, and that's what this offense

894
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 7: is designed to do. You stick with the run regardless

895
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 7: of the situation. You keep a balanced offense regardless of

896
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 7: the situation. So you're never down three touchdowns, you're never down,

897
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 7: you're never out of a game. But then with the

898
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 7: game on the line, with an opportunity to get back

899
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 7: in the lead late in the game, he put the

900
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 7: ball in Kyler Murray's hands. He's done it over and

901
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 7: over throughout his early career.

902
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 5: We host Jonathan Gannis TV show.

903
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:00,959
Speaker 6: Every week.

904
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 5: I can't tell you the final month of the season,

905
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 5: how many times Gannon said, yeah, that chunk throw right there,

906
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 5: that was his third read. Yeah, you know that key

907
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 5: play on third down where he was able to find

908
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 5: Trey McBride or they ran it on third and four

909
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 5: for a gain of seven. Kyler checked into that play. So,

910
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 5: to Drew's point, situational football, seeing a defense getting the

911
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 5: offense into the right play, changing a pass protection, going

912
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 5: through his progressions, all of that advanced and evolved, and

913
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 5: Kyler improved and it just became much more of a

914
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 5: threat for a defense. And then, as Jonathan Gannon will

915
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 5: tell you, as a former defensive coordinator, you always have

916
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 5: to worry about his legs and the guy runs a

917
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 5: four to three. That's what keeps the DC up at night.

918
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 4: And then what we talked about with Patrick Mahomes, trusting

919
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 4: your playmakers, the trusts that he had in Michael Wilson

920
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: late despite the pick six and the miscommunication. Well we

921
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 4: know what happened. Michael Wilson owned up to it. He

922
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 4: was not where he was supposed to be. Looked bad

923
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 4: for Kyler, but Kyler went.

924
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 5: Back to him and in money moments, Tree McBride told

925
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 5: us after this season, Kyler told me in the huddle,

926
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 5: it's coming to you. You know, run this route, get

927
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 5: this and you're my first look.

928
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 4: A lot to be excited about, specifically about Kyler Murray

929
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 4: and that offense. What else to come? That's what we're

930
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 4: here for. It's the Cardinals Red Sea Report on the

931
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

932
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: You've been listening to the Cardinals Red Sea Report.

933
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,680
